Scholarship at Murray State honors school shooting victim
MURRAY, Ky. (AP) — A new scholarship has been established at Murray State University to honor a school shooting victim.
A statement from the school says the Preston Cope Memorial Scholarship was established through fundraising and gifts from the 15-year-old boy's family and friends. Cope was one of two teens killed during a shooting last year at Marshall County High School.
The scholarship will help students from Marshall County who "share in Preston's enthusiasm for life and service to others" while attending Murray State.
To be eligible for the scholarship, students must be full-time, first-year freshmen who graduated from Marshall County High School with at least a 3.0 grade point average and who were active in extracurricular activities and community service. Preference will be given to students majoring in history or education.
Renovation reveals hidden paintings
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Workers have discovered oil paintings hidden on six vault doors in the Wyoming Capitol Building.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports the discovery of the art works uncovered during renovations in late May were announced last week.
Officials say EverGreene Architectural Arts workers removed several layers of brown paint over the paintings on the historic vault doors. A spokeswoman said the discovery was "a very big surprise."
Officials say the vault doors likely date to building phases in 1888 or 1890.
The renovation oversight chairman believes the art represented Wyoming showing it was ready for the statehood it received in 1890.
