Payne, 58 $2.00 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2012 Vol. 46, No. 9 Grand jury to hear case against shooting suspect Judge Margaret Evans hears testimony in preliminary hearing By Amber Gillenwater mdtnews@mydailytribune.com GALLIPOLIS — The case against a Gallia County man accused of shooting and killing his wife earlier this month, has been bound over to the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas and will be heard by a grand jury. David A. Ramey, 38, Vinton, was present in the Gallipolis Municipal Court on Friday morning with defense counsel Charles Knight. The purpose of the hearing, held before Judge Margaret Evans, was to determine whether there was probable cause, based upon substantial credible evidence, that the alleged crime was committed and that the defendant committed it. During the hearing, witnesses were called by the prosecution, represented by Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, and presented testimony regarding the events of February 15, 2012. First to testify was Barbara Ramey, the suspect’s mother, who was present during the shooting that occurred on the morning of February 15 at a residence located at 335 Hartsook Road in Huntington Township. Barbara Ramey testified that she, as well as Stephanie and David Ramey had been residing in the home, located near the village of Vinton, for several years prior to the incident. However, on the morning in question, David Ramey had been away from the home for two days due to “prob- lems” that the couple were having, according to testimony. On the morning of February 15, Barbara Ramey stated that, between 8 and 9 a.m., she was at the home watching the television when her son entered the residence. “David came in the house. He wanted to know where Stephanie was at. I said, ‘the bedroom,’ and he walked back there to the bedroom,” Barbara Ramey testified. “I heard her say, ‘no,’ and then two shots.” The witness further stated that, after hearing the gun shots, she proceeded to the bedroom where she discovered her daughter-inlaw. “I got up and went back to the bedroom. I saw her on the floor leaning against the bed, blood running down the side of her face,” she stated. Barbara Ramey also indicated that, at that time, her son took the cord out of the telephone and threatened her before leaving the residence in a red Ford pickup. “He said he’d kill me if I tried to get help,” Barbara Ramey said. The witness further indicated that, after the departure of the suspect, she used an alternate phone to call 911 and, upon checking the bedroom a second time, she found her daughter-in-law dead. “She was already gone,” she said. After being questioned by defense counsel, Barbara Ramey reported that she did not see a weapon in her son’s hand that morning and did not see a weapon in the bedroom. She further indicated that David Ramey did not threaten her with a weapon or in any other manner than what was verbally said to her prior to his departure. Gallia County Coroner Dr. Daniel Whiteley also testified during the hearing and stated that, after arriving on scene, he found the victim in the bedroom of the residence in a semi-fetal position. She had two gun shot wounds — one to the head and second in her abdomen. Whiteley reported that the lethal shot would have been the head wound and, upon questioning, stated that the wound to her See MURDER ‌| A6 ODOT: Meigs rest areas to get upgrades … finally Staff Report mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com Sarah Hawley/photos SOLACE volunteers (from left) Nancy Hill, Brenda Phalin, Shelly Satterfield and Maggie Satterfield were on hand Thursday evening to pass out information to those in attendance and answer questions. Fighting our local war MASON, W.Va. — Friends, neighbors, community leaders, pastors and others affected by drugs and drug use came together on Thursday evening at Soul Harvest Church with one goal in mind. What can be done to help fight the drug epidemic in this and other communities? Pastor Matt Young of Life Impact Church in Adams County, Ohio, spoke about the programs that are taking place in that area. Young is considered to be a regional leader in combating drugs in small communities. Like Adams County — which is in southwestern Ohio, along the Ohio River — Meigs, Mason and Gallia counties face serious drug problems. Young encouraged the Beth Sergent nearly 100 people in attendance to be revolutionary, not relevant. To be relevant is to be good at making people aware that there is a problem, Young said, but to be revolutionary is to accept the challenge to do something about it. Those who are revolutionary are not afraid to fail. “Anything worth having is worth fighting for,” Young added. Young stated that a key moment in his congregation’s work to combat drugs was after a meeting between the Adams County Sheriff and several area pastors. While the meeting did not bring forth new ideas, Young and his Sarah Hawley/photos congregation chose to make a step toward help- Life Impact Church Pastor Matt Young, a regional leader in combating drug use, speaks on Thursday evening at Soul See CHURCH |‌ A6 Harvest Church in Mason, W.Va. MEIGS COUNTY — Officials with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 10 announced Friday that the long-discussed modernization project of the rest areas on U.S. 33 in Meigs County is finally coming to fruition. “Modernization of these facilities is a much needed improvement to the U.S. 33 Connector especially since these are the first rest areas north of Charleston, West Virginia,” said T. Steve Williams, District 10 Deputy Director. ODOT officials worked side-by-side with the Meigs County Commissioners to get this project scheduled and progressing. The upgrades had been on the wish list of county officials for several years prior to Friday’s funding announcement. “We couldn’t be happier to finally see this upgrade happen,” said Tom Anderson, Meigs County Commissioner. Both facilities, eastbound and westbound, will be modernized with running water for faucets and toilets. The project is will cost approximately $400,000 and is scheduled to go to bid this summer. Construction is expected to begin mid- to late-summer 2012, and ODOT estimates the project should be completed by late fall 2012. The rest area on Ohio 7 North in Kanauga was also renovated as part of the 2010-11 plan by ODOT. According to the ODOT website, the rest area remains closed. A total of 44 rest areas in the state were scheduled for upgrade beginning in November 2010, including one along U.S. 50 in Athens County, two along U.S. 33 in Hocking County and the one along Ohio 7 in Gallia County. According to ODOT, the projects include renovations to make the facilities more energy efficent. Sarah Hawley/photo ODOT claims that the rest areas along U.S. 33 eastbound (pictured) and westbound in Meigs County will finally be upgraded after several years of discussion and battling over funding for the project. According to the agency, construction is scheduled to begin this summer. Honoring the fallen soldiers bsergent@heartlandpublications.com GALLIPOLIS FERRY — “What is that?” This is a question asked by many motorists who have driven by R+L Carriers’ Gallipolis Ferry terminal in the last several days. What has so many talking is the freight trailer sitting next to the road — an ordinary trailer turned into not only a work of art but a traveling memorial to 23 soldiers from Ohio’s Lima Company who were killed in action while serving in Iraq from May to August of 2005. The traveling exhibit, “The Eyes of Freedom,” is a replica of a memorial which was unveiled at the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda in Columbus in 2008. The memorial specifically depicts the 23 fallen Marines from Lima 3/25 and does so in a way that puts expressive faces with ranks and names. Anita Miller of Columbus created the portraits and has said she was inspired to do so after a middle-of-the- night vision of the completed memorial at the Ohio Statehouse Rotunda woke her. With little money, she assembled a team to create a not-forprofit organization to help fund the vision and reached out to the families of the men who were killed for not only photos but stories about their lives. Danny Freeman, who works as a Beth Sergent/photos dispatcher at R+L in Gallipolis Ferry, said the company has several replicas R+L Carriers has sponsored replicas of a memorial which honof the trailer traveling throughout ors the fallen of Lima Company.

Priority will be given to Grant cuts and budgeting remaining funds Rural Electric Cooperative consumers have rights Rural electric cooperatives are generally referred to as unregulated utilities because the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) does not govern them. Also, with a few exceptions, the state statutes and rules governing utilities do not apply to these companies. Nevertheless, consumers who receive electric services from these companies do have rights, which are outlined in this article. Q: What is a rural electric cooperative? A: A rural electric cooperative is an electric service company owned by the household members who receive its electric services. These cooperatives, which are governed by a member-elected board, were formed to establish electric service in rural areas not served by other utility companies. Co-ops are generally smaller organizations than investor-owned utilities and have smaller service areas. Currently 25 different cooperatives provide electric service in 77 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Q: How do I join a rural electric cooperative? A: If you live in an area served by an electric cooperative, you must fill out an application and pay a small membership fee, usually $5 or $10, to join the cooperative and get service. If you are a tenant, then you will probably be asked to pay a security deposit. If you are a tenant, you may also need a letter from your landlord or a copy of your lease agreement that shows you have the right to live on the property you are renting. Q: Who sets my utility rates and other policies? A: The cooperative’s governing board sets the rates you are charged for electric service, as well as other policies, such as qualifications for membership and when and how electric services can be terminated. When you join a cooperative, you should receive a booklet explaining your member rights and responsibilities. You will receive information about annual meetings and have the right to vote for members of the governing board. You will also receive a monthly magazine with information about your cooperative. With respect to the practical aspects of receiving electric service, however, a cooperative is not different from an investor-owned utility.

GAHS Alumni seeks past graduates GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia Academy High School (GAHS) Alumni Association is seeking names and addresses from all graduates of GAHS. This year’s annual reunion, by reservation only, will be held Saturday, May 26, in the cafeteria of GAHS located in Centenary, Ohio. Events for the day will begin with a light breakfast of coffee and donuts at 10 a.m. A catered lunch from Bob Evans’ Restaurants will be served around noon. During the afternoon’s events, there will be a featured speaker, the annual naming of the “Alumni of the Year” award and two scholarships to be awarded to two seniors from the 2012 Class of GAHS. Each awarded senior will receive a one-time $1,000 scholarship from the association. The 2011 winners are asked to attend as guests of the association and relate their experiences during their first year at either a university or college. A trust for an annual scholarship was set up by the late Rebecca “Becky” Johnson Archer, Class of 1951, and will also be awarded. Archer’s wishes were that a female senior be chosen each year and be awarded $750 per year un- til that student receives her bachelor’s degree — four years maximum. One of the goals of the alumni association is to encourage future scholarships for graduates. The GAHS Alumni Association is looking for graduates and friends of GAHS classmates from as far back as the 1930s. The organization asks that GAHS gradu- ates or friends from the 1930s through the present contact membership chairman Sandy Brown Bledsoe, Class of 1976 at 740-4462157, or e-mail her at: slbledsoe45631@yahoo.com with updated information. If there are chairmen of any of the classes from the 1950s up to the present, please note this information. We would like to extend our gratitude to our friends who were so supportive of our family during the recent death of our dear mother. The cards, phone calls, visits, emails, food, flowers, and prayers were more greatly appreciated than we could ever possibly express. We would like to offer a special thank you to the staff of Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home whose kindness during this difficult time was so greatly appreciated, to Dr. Gerald Vallee and the staff of the Medical Plaza whose exemplary care for both of our parents allowed us to spend a few more precious years with them, to the staff of The Ohio State University Medical Center for allowing Mom to pass peacefully and allowing us to be present with her at the end, to Al Hartson and the Middleport Church of Christ choir for sending Mom out in style, and to our precious extended family without whose love and support we would not have been able to face the last few months. Most especially we thank our beloved Dad for the faith he and Mom instilled in us which allowed us to endure this loss with the knowledge that we will all be together again someday! Your strength inspires and amazes us Dad, and we love you! Our loss was Heaven’s gain and we thank you all for making that loss a little easier to bear.

Whiteley also stated that, at his request, an autopsy is being performed by the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. No decisive findings have been reported from the autopsy at this point. Special Agent Shane Hanshaw of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation was also called to the stand during the hearing on Friday. Hanshaw reported that he was dispatched to Hartsook Road on February 15 after a call was made to BCI by the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office and, upon arrival, he assisted in processing the scene. He also later interviewed the suspect. Paraphrasing the defendant, Hanshaw recalled the interview he had with Ramey. According to Hanshaw, the defendant discussed what had prompted the shooting. “He said that he was angry. He said that he had caught his wife cheating with someone else,” Hanshaw said. The special agent also discussed what the defendant recalled as the chain of events on the morning of February 15. According to Hanshaw, the defendant reported to him that for two days prior to the incident he had been staying with a friend. On the morning of the shooting, he traveled to Spring Valley where he purchased gasoline for his vehicle, drove to Bidwell Bait and Tackle — his reported place of employment — and then proceeded to Hartsook Road. Hanshaw reported that, in the interview, Ramey indicated that, upon entering the residence and speaking with his mother — inquiring as to Stephanie Ramey’s whereabouts — he entered the bedroom. “He said he went back into the bedroom and he stated, at that time, that when he walked in the room, his wife was there — Stephanie,” Hanshaw said. “I don’t think he said much about a conversation between the two, but he said she had her hands behind her back and she kind of stood up and, when she stood up, that he fired two shots at her. He said he then left the residence.” Also testifying on Friday was Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning who apprehended the suspect in this case. Browning reported that, on the morning of February 15, he initially learned about the shooting after he overheard radio traffic as dispatchers gave information about the incident to sheriff’s office road patrol units. According to Browning, on the morning of the shooting, dispatchers were advising that the alleged shooter had left the scene on Hartsook Road in a red pickup truck and was reportedly traveling southbound on Ohio 160 toward Bidwell Bait and Tackle. The sheriff proceeded northbound on Ohio 160 and, after passing the Korner Store in Porter, Browning testified that he passed the assailant’s vehicle, turned around and began to follow the pickup as it turned onto Ohio 554. Browning then signalled the vehicle to stop and arrested the suspect in the Bidwell Bait and Tackle parking area. No weapon was found on the suspect during a search of his person, according to Browning, but a handgun was discovered on the passenger’s seat of the vehicle. “As I was doing the pat down, there was a holster that was located on him. I felt the empty holster, pulled back the jacket and saw it. I asked him where his gun was. He said, ‘I put it on the seat,’” Browning said, stating that he later discovered that the defendant had a concealed carry permit issued from another county. A search warrant was later obtained for the vehicle and, according to testimony, the weapon — a .38 special revolver — was seized. Reportedly, two spent shells were found in the weapon. The remaining bullets were unspent. Upon questioning by defense counsel, the sheriff further reported that, prior to the shooting, there had been police contact at the home of Stephanie and David Ramey. “There have been reports. Not necessarily concerning reports between the two of them, but interaction with the children and different reports that were made by them,” Browning said. The case against Ramey will be submitted during the next session of the Gallia County Grand Jury. Church From Page A1 ing stop the drug problem. One program which is being held in Adams County as a result is Adopt a Block. Adopt a Block is a block party type event in areas that are at risk, offering children and adults a safe, family event with games, food, animals and other things — without pushing religion. The church is also working with the local community college to offer GED and college courses. The church is also nearing completion on the “Midwest Dream Center.” The Dream Center, which will be patterned off of the one in Los Angeles, California, will be a residential program for those who are struggling with overcoming addictions. Pastor Jason Simpkins of Soul Harvest Church stated, “We can’t do everything, but we can do something,” before introducing Pam Evans. Evans, who works with an out patient rehab clinic, spoke about preventing drug use by working with children and teens. “It is easier to build a child than to repair an adult,” said Evans. Evans highlighted the three main reasons drug use begins: boredom, fitting in with a group and masking emotional pain or self-medicating. Drug use during the developmental stages can stop development, leading to problems later in life. During various stages of development, children learn morals, self worth, how to interact with others, and emotional bonds which can be disrupted by the use of drugs. While drug counseling and rehab centers are great resources, cost is often an issue with receiving the needed help. Community faith and church-based programs are often available free of charge, and according to Evans, can pro- vide many of the same services. Local community groups and organizations were also on hand at the event to pass out information about services they currently provide and to gain information about what is working in other areas. SOLACE (Surviving Our Loss And Continuing Everyday) was one group on hand to provide information. The Meigs County Chapter of SOLACE formed around one month ago, with the mission “to offer love and support to the families, friends and loved-ones who are living with the effects of addiction.” SOLACE helps to encourage family members to HULT (Help Us Love Tough), and therefore to not enable those who are addicted. A point both Young and Evans spoke on repeatedly. The local SOLACE chapter meets at 7 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays of each month at the Middleport Nazarene Church. Work is also underway to form a Faith Based Recovery Program in Meigs and Mason counties. Currently there is a program through the Vinton Baptist Church in Gallia County. Anyone interested in helping with the Faith-Based Recovery group is encouraged to attend the next organizational meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13, at the Mulberry Community Center, or contact Laura Lee-Withrow at (740) 416-0891.

(Bill) Thomas All-Sports Trophy. Warren, which won the girls basketball championship and placed second in boys basketball, has 42.5 points, good for an 11.5-point advantage over runner-up Chillicothe (31), which took over the runner-up position from Gallia Academy. Four teams are in a logjam in the second- through fifth-place slots, with Logan (30) sitting third, Jackson (29.5) fourth and Gallia Academy (29) fifth. Portsmouth (18.0) is sixth. Warren recorded the highest number of winter sports points, chalking 13 in boys basketball, girls basketball and wrestling. Logan was second with 11 during the winter, winning the wrestling crown and finishing third in girls basketball. Current runner-up Chillicothe was third in boys basketball and wrestling. Fourth-place Jackson was second in girls basketball and fourth in boys basketball, and fifth-place Gallia Academy was runner-up in wrestling. Portsmouth won the boys basketball championship — only the school’s second title since re-entering the SEOAL, with the other coming during the fall when its girls tennis team earned a championship banner — and was fourth in girls basketball. Warren owns four titles (boys soccer, boys cross country, volleyball and girls basketball) this school year, with Portsmouth (girls tennis and boys basketball) and Gallipolis (golf and boys cross country) both possessing two. Chillicothe (girls soccer), Jackson (football) and Logan (wrestling) all have one. The spring season kicks off late next month, with titles to be determined in baseball, softball, boys tennis, boys track and girls track. All-Sports Trophy points are determined on an 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis in sports where all six schools field full teams. In other sports, points are determined as to how many teams competed for the title, with fractional points awarded in case of ties. Since Portsmouth doesn’t have wrestling, for example, those points were determined on a 5-4-3-2-1 basis. The SEOAL, one of the longest-running prep conferences in the state, was formed by William E. (Bill) Thomas of Wellston in 1925 and began competition with a boys track meet that spring, with 1925-26 being the first full season of conference competition.

Wahama tops Tomcats, 64-59 Alex Hawley ahawley@heartlandpublications. com MASON, W.Va — The White Falcons got it done in “winning time” Thursday evening against the Tomcats. The Wahama boys basketball team scored 22 points in the final stanza to come back and take the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division victory over Trimble Thursday night, 64-59. Wahama (11-11, 10-6 TVC Hocking) came out hot on offense scoring 18 points in the first period, while Trimble (2-18, 1-15) started slowly only marking nine points. In the second period the teams nearly evened out the White Falcons edging the Tomcats by two. Wahama took the 32-21 lead into the break. After halftime the THS offense came alive scoring 23 points in the period. The Tomcats also had their best defensive stanza in the third holding WHS to just 10 points. Trimble battled back from being down double digits to take the 44-42 lead going into the finale. It was senior night and Wahama seniors Issac Lee and Hunter Oliver led the White Falcons in the fourth period as they accounted for combine 17 of the teams 22 points in the period. Wahama held Trimble to 15 as the White Falcons earned their 10th TVC Hocking win of the season 64-59. Wahama was led on the night by Issac Lee with a double-double performance of 23 and 15 rebounds. Hunter Oliver also finished with a doubledouble marking 14 points and 10 rebounds. Austin Jordan also finished with 14 points on the evening, followed by DJ Gibbs with seven and Wyatt Zuspan with six points to round out the WHS scoring. Konner Standley scored 19 points including five three-pointers to lead the Tomcats. Also in double figures were Jacob Hooper with 11 and Jacob Koons with 10 points. The White Falcons return to action in the sectional tournament Tuesday at Hurricane High School at 6 p.m. when they take on Buffalo.

River Valley led 15-12 after the first period but over the final 24 minutes of Friday night’s sectional title game the Nelsonville York boys basketball team outscored the Raiders 39-17 en route to their 51-32 victory at Charles McAfee Gymnasium on the campus of Athens High School. The Raiders (5-17) came out with intensity shooting 7-of-11 (64 percent) from the field in the first period leading 15-9 near the end of the first period. However, the Buckeyes’ (13-8) Marc Carter hit a three-pointer as time expired to cut the RVHS lead to three and give Nelsonville York the momentum going forward. The NYHS defense came out in the second quarter holding the Raiders to two points on 1-11 (nine percent) shooting. The Buckeyes used the momentum given to them from the end of the first period to score 15 points in the second and take the 27-17 halftime lead. Over the first five minutes of the second half Nelsonville York went on a 6-2 run forcing RVHS to use a timeout. The Buckeyes finished the quarter on a 7-6 run to take a 40-25 lead into the finale. River Valley struggled to get its offense going in the finale stanza going scoreless over the first 5:30. The Buckeyes scored 11 and cruised to the 51-32 victory. River Valley was led in scoring by Austin Lewis with seven points, followed by Trey Noble with six. Kyle Bays and Derek Flint each scored four, Joseph Loyd scored three, while Austin Whobrey, Chris Clemente, Aaron Harrison, and Ethan Dovenbarger all finished with two points. NYHS was led by Daniel Kline with 17 points, followed by Kyle Moore with 10, and Marc Carter eight points. This was the final game for Raider seniors Derek Flint, Trey Noble, Aaron Harrison, and Aaron Rupe. River Valley finishes the season sixth in the Ohio Valley Conference and 5-17 overall.

Economy brighter in NASCAR, teams still searching DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Trevor Bayne won instant fame with his surprise Daytona 500 victory last year. He earned a small fortune, too. He didn’t get what he really wanted, though: a full-time ride. Going into Sunday’s season-opening Daytona 500, the 21-year-old Bayne is as surprised as anyone that he’s only running a partial schedule for the Wood Brothers in the Sprint Cup Series this year. His situation is even more unsettled in Nationwide, where Roush Fenway Racing is committed only to run the first three races of the season and is hoping a few good runs can attract some more money. “I figure if we can maybe be leading the points by then, then it would be hard for them to stop racing,” Bayne said. “But you would hope you could accumulate some kind of funding or some kind of sponsorship after the year that we had last year. It’s just tough right now for us, and for every team out there.” Bayne and reigning Nationwide Se- ries champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are two of the most prominent up-andcoming drivers in NASCAR. In happier economic times, they might have Fortune 500 companies falling all over them. The fact that neither driver has a full-time ride in Cup even caught the attention of five-time champion Jimmie Johnson. “We’re seeing a lot of things showing that it’s turning around, and hopefully it turns soon and the young guys that are kind of in the queue now will be able to ride it out and get a chance when the time comes,” Johnson said. “But it’s crazy to think that Ricky Stenhouse, Trevor Bayne, you look through the list and they’re the first two that come to mind. They’ve had great success and white race cars.” Bayne’s stunning Daytona win kicked off a 2011 season that NASCAR officials believe was engaging enough to give the sport a momentum boost for 2012. It ended with an epic title fight that ended with Tony Stewart edging out Carl Edwards in the final race of the season. NASCAR Chief Marketing Officer Steve Phelps believes those stories will drive fan interest this year, and Phelps sees other signs that NASCAR is rebounding from the hit it took when the economy started sputtering. “If you go back a couple of years, obviously, the economic downturn certainly affects our sport more than any other because it’s so dependent on sponsorship,” Phelps said. “When marketing dollars dry up, sponsorship dollars are part of those (deals) drying up. But you’ve seen it start to cycle back, and it’s really getting healthier and healthier.” Phelps says NASCAR has seen an overall increase in sponsorship every year since 2009 especially in terms of sponsorship activation, the extra advertising and events that companies do to support their sponsorship programs. Phelps says NASCAR has plenty of See NASCAR ‌| B2 �Sunday, February 26, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis In The Open Bald eagle sightings Jim Freeman In The Open Here lately I have heard several reports of people sighting bald eagles in Meigs and neighboring counties and have personally observed eagles on several occasions, along the Ohio River and at places further inland. While there aren’t any exact numbers, the trend seems to be an increasing number of bald eagle sightings in southeastern Ohio, mostly along the Ohio River or around other bodies of water like the Hocking River or even large impoundments. A few weeks ago Meigs County wildlife officer Josh Shields and I had the pleasure of watching not one, but two, bald eagles harassing sitting waterfowl on a large water impoundment. We watched a mature bald eagle as it repeatedly swooped down toward a mixed flock of waterfowl, and the ducks literally churned the water to froth as they dived to avoid their tormentor. A few minutes later we noticed a second eagle in a nearby tree watching the entire scene. Our speculation was that they were hoping the ducks would take flight and make themselves vulnerable to being grabbed by the watching eagle. In any event, none of the ducks took the bait and the bald eagles eventually left the area. A few days before that I was driving along the Ohio River at Minersville and an eagle came flying by, just as plain as day. Other people have told me about eagle sightings, and there isn’t any reason to doubt them. So the eagles are here. What we don’t know is if they are permanent residents of the area, or if they are just passing through or just hanging out for the winter. According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, mid-winter is a rewarding time to view these magnificent national symbols. It is during this time of year that eagles begin to lay and incubate their eggs. In 2011 there were 194 known nesting pairs in 62 Ohio counties. In Ohio, most eagle nests are found in the western Lake Erie marsh region, but they can be found throughout the state. However, remember that bald eagles are listed as threatened species in Ohio and are protected by law. Since this period is a critical time for eagle reproduction, make sure you don’t bother or interfere with nesting eagles. Seeing these birds is a definite thrill and one thing is for sure, if you get a clear view of a mature bald eagle you aren’t going to mistake it for anything else. These very large birds truly have a striking appearance and commanding presence, as befitting a national symbol. Division of Wildlife open houses slated The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Wildlife is holding open house meetings in all five districts to discuss season dates and bag limits of game species, which will include Ohio’s most popular game animal, the whitetailed deer. The meetings will be Saturday, March 3, from noon to 3 p.m. and are open to the public. The closest open house meeting to Meigs and Gallia counties will be at the Wildlife District Four office at 360 E. State St., Athens. “Anyone interested in providing input and participating in Ohio’s professional wildlife management process is welcome to attend,” said Scott Zody, chief of the Division of Wildlife. “Each open house location will have a fish and wildlife biologist as well as law enforcement officers available to answer questions.” Public input gathered at these open houses will be forwarded to the division’s central office and considered during the formulation of regulations. A statewide hearing on all proposed rules will be held on Thursday, March 8, at 9 a.m. at the Division of Wildlife’s District One office, located at 1500 Dublin Road in Columbus. This hearing is open to the public and input is permitted.

That’d be a logical landing place in Cup for Stenhouse, who won the Nationwide championship for Roush Fenway last year. As it stands, Stenhouse will drive the No. 6 car at Daytona and beyond that, who knows? Roush Fenway also has sponsorship space to sell for Matt Kenseth, the 2003 Cup series champion.

But that’s the way it’s been in NASCAR for 65 years. That part’s not different.” What is different today, Phelps said, is the model teams are using to bankroll their racing budgets. In the past, a team would try to nail down one company to pay an eight-figure annual fee to become the team’s primary sponsor. But there aren’t enough companies willing to do that anymore so instead, teams are trying to tie together enough smaller sponsorships to fund their teams. Most teams are doing OK. A few aren’t. “There are realities,” Phelps said. “It’s expensive to run a team, so if you need to have six sponsors to make that thing work, you’re going to have six sponsors. But because of that, you have downward pressure on the other teams, ‘Hey, listen, I only have three sponsors, I have six races remaining, how am I going to fill the six races?’ That’s why it makes it difficult, and that’s why I think there’s so much focus on it right now.” But Phelps believes the teams will get it figured out. And he’s confident that young stars like Bayne and Stenhouse have full-time rides in their foreseeable futures. “Whenever you have two up and coming drivers, young drivers, who don’t have full time support, yeah, it’s concerning,” Phelps said. “It’ll get figured out. Trevor and Ricky are going to be in good shape. They are going to be drivers well into the future.” �Sunday, February 26, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page B3 Bryan Walters/photo Point Pleasant sophomore Josh Hudson, right, delivers a stiff arm to the face of Clay County senior Harley Hamrick during a Point Pleasant sophomore Brycen Reymond, front, tries to break 145-pound contest Friday at the Class AA-A state meet in Hun- loose from Liberty Raleigh’s Trey Fitzwater during a 182-pound contest Friday at the Class AA-A state meet in Huntington, W.Va. tington, W.Va.

Thanks GCC!” Wahama’s Kane Roush becomes program’s first state finalist bwalters@mydailytribune.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — They say it’s never over until it’s over. There’s still one day of competition left at the 2012 Class AA-A state wrestling meet, but two-time defending champion Point Pleasant is well on its way to a third straight title following completion of Day Two competition Friday at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Cabell County. The Big Blacks advanced a program-best six grapplers to Saturday’s championship finals and they also have a dozen competitors still going strong at the 65th annual event, which has helped Point Pleasant amass a two-day team total of 181 points. That tally, which matches the school record, was last year’s winning total after the full three-day event concluded. PPHS, which had 146 points last year and 139 points two years ago through two days of competition, currently owns a 74.5-point lead on the 43team field. Clay County is the current runner-up through two days with 106.5 points, while Independence (86), Wirt County (83.5) and Roane County (78.5) round out the top-five team spots in Class AA-A. Of the six Point Pleasant finalists, five will be making their first-ever appearance in an individual state championship match. John Raike (106), Micah Powell (120), Steven Porter (126), Zach Nibert (160) and Josh Hereford (170) will be making their respective winner’s bracket debuts, while Noah Searls (132) will be competing in his second straight championship final after coming up just short last winter. Guy Fisher (113), Gabe Loggins (138), Josh Hudson (145), Trevor Hill (152), Brycen Reymond (182) and Jacob Gleason (220) are also still alive headed into Saturday, but the highest any of these half-dozen grapplers can finish is third in their respective weight classes. Jacob Duncan (195) and Scott Duncan (285) are the lone Point grapplers to already be eliminated from the state competition. Point Pleasant, which led by 12.5 points after Day One with a score of 36 points, had one wrestler in each of the 14 weight classes this weekend — also a school record. Point Pleasant, however, is the not the only Mason County program making noise at the Class AA-A meet this weekend. Wahama, which had two grapplers qualify, currently sits 19th overall in the team rankings with 19 points. Sophomore Kane Roush made school history Friday night by becoming the first White Falcon to qualify for a state final individually. Roush defeated Zach Zide of Williamstown in the 152-pound championship semifinals to earn a spot in Saturday night’s final. Classmate Randle Robie scored his first win at the state level on Thursday in the 120-pound division, but was eliminated from the tournament Friday after suffering back-to-back losses in the consolation rounds. In all, Mason County will be represented in seven of the 14 championship matches held Saturday night. Ripley, with 155 points, currently owns a 5.5-point edge over runner-up Parkersburg South (149.5) through two days in the Class AAA competition.

(AP) — Third baseman Scott Rolen won’t make a guess about how many games his surgically repaired shoulder will allow him to play this season. The Cincinnati Reds hope it’s a lot more than last year. Rolen reported with the rest of the Reds position players for their first workout on Friday. He said his left shoulder feels good, six months after surgery to clean it out. Still, he’s not sure what to expect. Rolen turns 37 on April 4 and has been bothered by back and shoulder problems the last two years. He’s entering the final year on his contract. Rolen played in so few games last season 65 that he felt fresh at the end of the year, something he’d like to avoid. “I’m looking at the present,” Rolen said. “I just want to go out and play and be tired at the end of the year, if it is my last year. I want to make sure that I can play and be responsible.” Rolen was instrumental in the Reds winning the NL Central title in 2010, having an All-Star caliber first half of the season .290 with 17 homers and 57 RBIs. Nagging injuries to his back and shoulder caused a significant drop in his power in the second half, when he hit only three homers and drove in 26 runs. The shoulder sent pain into his neck and prevented him from raising his arm above shoulder level last season, forcing him to have surgery on Aug. 3. He wanted to play again before the end of the season, but the shoulder didn’t recover as quickly as hoped. It’s been a problem for years. Rolen hurt it in a collision with the Dodgers’ Hee Seop Choi in 2005, requiring two operations. He missed the final month of the 2007 season and had the shoulder cleaned out. He sprained it in 2008. Rolen set a goal of playing in 120 games last season, but the shoulder hurt enough that he went on the disabled list. Rolen batted .242 with five homers and 36 RBIs, which weren’t his most disappointing statistics. “I’m not a big numbers guy,” he said. “I do like to look at games played. I was disappointed last year. I felt I wasn’t accountable last year. I have a responsibility to my team.” Rolen is in the final year of a contract he renegotiated with the Reds to give them more payroll flexibility in the short-term. He’ll make a base salary of $6.5 million this season. Rolen said he’s been taking batting practice though not every day since January. Manager Dusty Baker will go easy with him during spring training and make sure to get him adequate rest during the season. “The number of games he plays will be based on how he feels,” Baker said. “I don’t want to put a number on it. Some of the other guys will have to fill in some. This spring will determine who. A lot will depend on how the other guys play and what we need power, speed, defense.” Yong Kim/Philadelphia Daily News/MCT photo Scott Rolen of the Cincinnati Reds exchanges words with umpire John Hirschbeck after striking out during the fifth inning in Game 1 of the NLDS Series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Big Ten considers CWS stadium for tournament OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Big Ten might move its baseball tournament to the home of the College World Series. Big Ten deputy commissioner Brad Traviolia said Thursday that he toured 24,000-seat TD Ameritrade Park in downtown Omaha last week, the same day he visited 9,000-seat Werner Park in the Omaha suburb of Papillion. Traviolia said the league is in the process of vetting venues that submitted bids and that a decision would be made in the next couple months. Traviolia declined to name other bidders. The Big Ten tournament typically runs four days in late May, with the winner receiving an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The contract to hold the event in Columbus, Ohio, expires after this year’s tournament. Traviolia said Omaha is an attractive option because of its long history of supporting college baseball. The CWS has been played here since 1950. The Missouri Valley Conference tournament was held at TD Ameritrade Park last year. MVC spokesman Mike Kern said the league has not determined sites for the tournament after it’s played in Springfield, Mo., this year. Kern said the Valley would strongly consider another bid from Omaha. Marquette From Page B2 Marquette ahead to stay, 54-53, with 4:17 remaining. West Virginia had a chance to win it, but Darryl “Truck” Bryant missed a wild, off-balance shot from the baseline with 2 seconds left. Bryant, who had shot 24 percent from the field in his 10 previous games, led West Virginia with 25 points. Kevin Jones, the conference’s leading scorer and rebounder, spent most of the game in foul trouble and was limited to 12 points and six rebounds. With Johnson-Odom, Cadougan and Blue benched for the first half, reserve Todd Mayo got his second start, al- though he, too, was ordered to sit out in the second half due to a similar violation. Jamail Jones was given his first start of the season, while Derrick Wilson got his second. Marquette led briefly in the first half and didn’t get any momentum going until West Virginia fell apart down the stretch. Bryant’s 3-pointer gave West Virginia its largest lead, 37-22, with 18:36 left. West Virginia had a 42-29 rebounding advantage for the game but got burned on transition defense and gave up numerous layups in the second half. Crowder made three layups in a 5-minute span. A 10-2 run brought the Golden Eagles within 39-34 after Johnson-Odom’s first basket and Marquette took its first lead of the second half, 46-45, on Blue’s dunk with 7:16 left. Blue sank two free throws with 1:05 remaining for Marquette’s final points and a 61-56 lead. Bryant made two free throws with 41 seconds to go and Keaton Miles hit a layup with 15 seconds left, but the Mountaineers couldn’t score on their final possession. �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2012 C1 S FAMILY FEATURES ummer time means plenty of play time — so why not play with your food? Finding creative ways to enjoy healthy foods like watermelon is a great way to encourage the whole family to eat well — and have fun while doing it. Here are three ways you can get the whole family in on some fun and healthy eating: n The wetter, the better — Playing hard on a hot summer day can take a lot out of you. In addition to drinking plenty of water, look for foods that can help you keep hydrated. Watermelon is 92 percent water — so keep some slices or cubes in the refrigerator for a handy, hydrating snack. For a fun, kid-friendly twist, use cookie cutters to cut watermelon into fun shapes. n Get colorful — For a real nutritional boost, serve plenty of colorful, deeply pigmented produce. For example, red peppers, carrots, broccoli and grapes are packed with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. In addition to vitamins A and C, watermelon has a higher level of the antioxidant lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable. Let the kids use an ice cream scooper or melon-baller to scoop out watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew to make a colorful and nutritious dessert. n Think outside the recipe box — Look for fun and unusual ways to serve healthy foods. These recipes from the National Watermelon Promotion Board, for example, are creative enough to appeal to kids and grownups, and easy enough for just about anyone to make. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring at all — it just takes a little creative thinking to get everyone in the family playing with their food. You can find more deliciously fun ways to enjoy watermelon, and sign up for a free newsletter, at www.watermelon.org. Pick a Good Watermelon It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 1. Look the watermelon over. You are looking for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free from bruises, cuts or dents. 2. Lift it up. The watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92 percent water. 3. Turn it over. The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun. Watermelon Strawberry Shake and Frozen Smoothie Pops Watermelon Pizza Supreme Makes 4 Strawberry Shake 1 container (8 ounces) lemon nonfat yogurt 2 cups cubed, seeded watermelon 1 pint fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled 1 medium banana, peeled and sliced In blender or food processor, process yogurt, watermelon, strawberries and banana until smooth and frothy. Serve immediately. Frozen Smoothie Pops Strawberry Shake Small paper cups Popsicle sticks Pour prepared Watermelon Strawberry Shake into small paper cups. Freeze, inserting popsicle sticks or plastic spoons when mixture is partially frozen. Or, pour Watermelon Strawberry Shake into ice cream machine. Set and enjoy. Surf Wave Oval or round shaped watermelon Kitchen and paring knives Cutting board Green dry-erase marker (preferably washable) Large bowl and spoon Brown sugar or raw sugar Small dolls or beach themed toys 1. Wash watermelon under cool running water and pat dry. 2. On a cutting board, place watermelon on its side and cut off 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the stem end, being careful not to cut too deep into the white part of the rind. This will provide a sturdy base. 3. Using the dry-erase marker, draw a wave from the top of the watermelon halfway down, similar to a backwards C. Repeat on the other side to form a wave. 4. Use the knife to carefully cut away the parts of the watermelon that you will not be using. Use the spoon to hollow out the watermelon, reserving the inside watermelon to cut up and serve. 5. Place the carving on a serving platter covered with brown sugar. Decorate with toys and shells and fill your carving with fruit. Serves 6 1 slice watermelon (8 to 10 inches around and 1 inch thick), drained to remove excess moisture 1 cup strawberry preserves 1/2 cup white chocolate chips 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut Place watermelon slice on a serving platter and cut into 6 wedges, leaving them in the shape of a pizza. Spread preserves over watermelon and sprinkle toppings over the top. Ice Cream Cone Sundaes Serves 8 8 ice cream cones of choice 8 tablespoons pineapple cream cheese frosting (recipes available online) 1/2 cup dried Craisins 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt 8 scoops seedless watermelon (use an ice cream scooper) Additional toppings of your choice: sprinkles, pineapple chunks, chocolate chips or coconut flakes Pipe a tablespoon of the frosting into the bottom of each cone. Divide Craisins over frosting. Top Craisins with yogurt. Place an ice cream scoop of watermelon on top of each cone. Top with additional toppings as desired and serve. Helpful Carving Hints n n n Read through the directions before you start. Have the watermelon at room temperature when you carve. That makes it easier to cut. Drain cut watermelon and other fruit before placing it in the carving. n n When removing excess flesh, try to leave it in big pieces. It’s easier for making melon balls or cubes. Use a green dry erase marker, then wipe off excess marker after making cuts. �Sunday, February 26, 2012 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 SOGA boys compete at Blaine Wilson Sportfest Kevin T.

Costumes, beads give way to ashes in New Orleans NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Officers on horseback cleared Bourbon Street early Wednesday, declaring an end to Carnival 2012 in New Orleans as Mardi Gras revelers began to prepare for the beginning of Lent, the period of fasting and repentance before Easter. Streams of people poured into the French Quarter as the sun began to set Tuesday to continue the party that began earlier along the city’s traditional Garden District family-friendly parade route which follows stately St. Charles Avenue. Bathed in springlike warmth and showered with trinkets, beads and music, New Orleans reveled in the excesses of Fat Tuesday. The drinking was in full swing shortly after dawn, and with it came outrageous costumes and flesh-flashing that drew thousands to the Quarter. New Orleans police said late Tuesday they were investigating a stabbing on Esplanade Avenue but had few details. In a second incident, two people were shot in the leg and two suspects were taken in custody, police said. Tom White, 46, clad in a pink tutu, bicycled with his wife, Allison, to the French Quarter. “I’m the pink fairy this year,” he said. “Costuming is the real fun of Mardi Gras. I’m not too creative but when you weigh 200 pounds and put on a tutu people still take your picture.” His wife was not in costume. “He’s disgraced the family enough,” she said. Brittany Davies struggled with her friends through the morning, feeling the effects of heavy drinking from the night before. “They’re torturing me,” the Denver woman joked. “But I’ll be OK after a bloody mary.” Indeed, the theme of the day was party hard and often. Wearing a bright orange wig, a purple mask and green shoes, New Orleans resident Charlotte Hamrick walked along Canal Street to meet friends. “I’ll be in the French Quarter all day,” Hamrick said. “I don’t even go to the parades. I love to take pictures of all the costumes and just be with my friends. It’s so fun.” Across the globe, people dressed up in elaborate costumes and partied the day away. In Rio de Janeiro, an estimated 850,000 tourists joined the city’s massive fiveday blowout. Meanwhile, the Portuguese, who have suffered deeply in Europe’s debt crisis, defied a government appeal to keep working. In the Cajun country of southwest Louisiana, masked riders went from town to town, making merry along the way in the Courir du Mardi Gras. And parades were held elsewhere around Louisiana and on the Gulf coasts of Mississippi and Alabama. The celebration arrived in Louisiana in 1682 when the explorer LaSalle and his party stopped at a place they called Bayou Mardi Gras south of New Orleans to celebrate. The predominantly African-American Zulu krewe was the first major parade to hit New Orleans’ streets, shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday. Most krewe members were in the traditional black-face makeup and Afro wigs Zulu riders have sported for decades. They handed out the organization’s coveted decorated coconuts and other sought-after trinkets. In the oak-lined Garden District, clarinetist Pete Fountain led his Half-Fast Walking Club on its annual march to the French Quarter. Fountain, 82, gave a thumbs-up to start off and his band launched into “When The Saints Go Marching In” as they rounded the corner onto St. Charles Avenue shortly after 7 a.m. It was the 52nd time that Fountain’s group has paraded for Mardi Gras. This year, the group wore bright yellow suits and matching pork pie hats for its theme, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.” Costumes were the order of the day, ranging from the predictable to the bizarre. Wearing a purple wig, New Orleans resident Juli Shipley carried a gallon of booze down Bourbon Street and filled her friends’ cups when they got low.

(AP) — The widow of country music legend Roger Miller doesn’t own the rights to some of his biggest hits, including “King of the Road,” a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Sony/ATV Music Publishing owns the renewal copyrights to the songs the artist published in 1964. Federal courts have already ruled that Sony owns the rights to Miller’s songs that were published from 1958 to 1963. In addition to “King of the Road,” the songs include for “Dang Me,” ”Chug-A-Lug” and “You Can’t Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd.” The decision struck down a lower court’s ruling in widow Mary Miller’s favor that awarded her a little more than $900,000 in damages. It’s not clear whether she will appeal. A call to her attorney was not immediately returned. A spokesman for Sony said the company was pleased with the court’s decision, which enable enables Sony to continue to represent the catalog of the iconic songwriter. Roger Miller died in 1992 after a battle with cancer. He was 56. “King of the Road” was his biggest hit, but he also received critical acclaim for writing the music and acting in the Tony-Award winning Broadway musical “Big River.” The singer left a will that stated that his widow was entitled to the rights to his work. But before he died he had assigned copyrights to his music to Sony, and in the months before his death, the publishing giant applied to renew the copyrights. The widow, who has been in a protracted legal battle with the publishing giant, had argued that she was entitled to the rights to the songs because her husband died before the copyrights assigned to Sony were renewed. But the appeals court said Sony owns the rights because Roger Miller had assigned rights to the company at the time applications were made to renew the copyrights. Roger Miller was inducted into the Country Music Hall of fame in 1995. Italian winter fashion opts for dark MILAN (AP) — After several weeks of snow and subfreezing temperatures in Italy, the chill is out of the air at least weatherwise and Italian designers are looking at the bright side of things as they begin the latest round of preview showings for fall-winter 2012-2013. The tightly-packed fashion week calendar boasts 70 shows and as many events, including showroom presentations, store openings and “aperitivi,” the Italian version of a cocktail party. All the top billed names were scheduled to introduce their winter collections, from Armani to Fendi, from Gucci, Prada and Versace. The Italian Fashion Chamber has set up a press center in the shadow of the Duomo, or cathedral, in downtown to Milan to accommodate some expected 15,000 fashionistas in town for the shows and has mounted a show tent in front of one of Milan’s favorite monuments, the Sforzesco Castle, where several of the shows will be held. “We’re hoping for a tripleA season, with no downgrading,” said Mario Boselli, president of the fashion chamber said at a press conference ahead of the shows in a quip reflecting Italy’s downgrading by ratings agencies as the nation struggles to avoid financial disaster. The designing duo Dolce&Gabbana, who never miss an opportunity to celebrate, are throwing a mega party over the weekend. On Friday, Vogue America’s Anna Wintour and Miuccia Prada will cohost a preview presentation of the exhibit entitled “Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: On Fashion” to open at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute in New York in May. On Wednesday the first day of the 7-day preview showings, both Gucci and Ferretti presented a woman who keeps her feet firmly on the ground while letting her feminine fantasy fly. Man’s childhood comic collection fetches $3.5M DALLAS (AP) — The bulk of a man’s childhood comic book collection that included many of the most prized issues ever published has sold for about $3.5 million. Lon Allen, managing director of comics for Dallas-based Heritage Auctions, says Billy Wright’s 1939 copy of Detective Comics No. 27 that features the debut of Batman got the top bid at the New York City auction Wednesday. It sold for about $523,000, including a buyer’s premium. Action Comics No. 1, a 1938 issue featuring the first appearance of Superman, sold for about $299,000. And Batman No. 1 from 1940 sold for about $275,000. Wright died in 1994. Relatives found the 345 well-preserved comics he bought as a child while cleaning out his wife’s Virginia home following her death last February. ‘X Factor’ teenager signs TV, record deal LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rachel Crow was a tearful runner-up on “The X Factor,” but she’s a winner now. The 14-year-old singer has signed a series deal with the Nickelodeon chan- nel and a recording contract with Sony’s Columbia Records-Syco. Nickelodeon said Wednesday its agreement with Crow includes development of a comedy series for the teenager. She’ll also have a recurring role in Nickelodeon’s new program, “Fred: The Show.” Crow’s recording deal puts her in business with “X Factor” creator Simon Cow- ell’s Syco enterprise. The big-voiced teenager made a dramatic exit from “X Factor” last December: Crow collapsed onstage after she was voted off by viewers. Judge denies bid for bail by Jackson doctor LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge who presided over the trial of Michael Jackson’s doctor refused Friday to release him on bail, saying he would be a danger to any community where he might try to practice medicine. Conrad Murray’s lawyer asked for his release pending appeal of his involuntary manslaughter conviction, but Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor said he saw little chance that Murray would prevail in getting his case overturned. Pastor made it clear that his view of Murray had not softened since he gave him a tongue-lashing and the maximum four-year sentence in the superstar’s death. He suggested Murray hurt his own chances for freedom in a documentary interview broadcast after the trial saying use of the powerful anesthetic propofol in the home was appropriate. Jackson died in 2009 of an overdose of the drug that Murray administered in his bedroom as a treatment for insomnia. Expert witnesses testified they never heard of anyone administering the drug outside a hospital. “I didn’t tell Dr. Murray to give an interview for a documentary,” the judge said. “When he did, I listened to it and saw it and I was concerned about his attitude toward the use of propofol in the home. … What he believes scares me.” Pastor also believes Murray, who was born and raised in the Caribbean, would pose a flight risk if he leaves jail. He said the doctor could go to a foreign country that might allow him to practice medicine, and anyone encountering him as a patient would be in danger. “He was raised in Trinidad and has seven children by five women in different parts of the country, which does not reflect well on his stability,” Deputy District Attorney David Walgren argued during the hearing. Defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan petitioned for Murray to be released on bail, his own recognizance or under house arrest with an electronic ankle bracelet. He and appellate attorney Valerie Wass said Murray should be free during his appeal. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
