THEIR VIEW

She really
does pay
attention

Last week I wrote about just a few of my favorite television shows down through the ages —
those shows which seemed to brand a place in my
being. Those programs that stood
out so much in my mind. As a result,
several events took place which I
thought you might enjoy hearing
about.
One of the joys of writing this
column each week is the feedback
that it brings – good and bad. After

I need it. It helps me to be better.
columnist
And like you, I enjoy the accolades,
and the participation in the weekly
topics. With that in mind, I thought I would share
some of your comments regarding your favorite
television programs from years gone by.
Dave from Lebanon wrote, “Good article.
Nostalgic. We enjoyed a lot of the same old TV
programs of bygone years. I don’t think you mentioned what was perhaps my all-time favorite TV
program of several decades ago, “All in the Family.” I’ve always tried to model myself after my
hero, Archie Bunker.”
Ernie commented, “Herb, all the shows that
you mentioned are the shows that I grew up with
and would watch again if they were on TV. As a
kid, I remember sitting in front of the television
on Saturday mornings watching all those great
cartoons and watching all those other great shows
during the week. I often think back to those times
as a child and wonder just why this world couldn’t
be like it was back then. Thanks for sharing your
memories of times past.”
Dolittle responded, “Herb we watched those,
and we weren’t kids. A lot of them my hubby
still watches on my TV. Have a great day. On TV
nowadays the movies and cartoons and so called
sitcoms would of got a slap across the mouth if we
used it.”
As I looked back at the television programs,
sitcoms and cartoons, I noticed that the humor
didn’t have to be ﬁlled with profanity to be funny.
Much of the humor, in fact, was delivered by
means of an expression such as a look, an action
or even a hesitation. Perhaps that is what makes a
truly great actor.
Thank you all for your comments, both written
and in person.
Another very pleasant event triggered by last
week’s column begins with the fact that each week
before submitting my writings, I ask one of my
most faithful critics and conﬁdants to proofread
my column. And, each week my wife reads, usually ﬁnds my grammatical mistakes, and acts as
my back up spell check. Last week she performed
those duties faithfully, and retreated, as usual
without another comment.
A couple of days later, packages began arriving
at our door and because Patty will often order
items for the grandchildren that arrive in the mail,
I never gave it a second thought until she asked
me to open the packages for her. I did, and much
to my surprise were DVD packages with many of
the old television programs I mentioned here last
week. “Mannix,” “The Rockford Files,” “Cannon,”
“Carol Burnette,” “Johnny Carson,” “The Best
of the Dean Martin Show” and on and on. I was
blown away!
Not only had she proofread my column, she had
made notes and went online and ordered most of
what I had written about. Now that is the power of
the pen, my friend. So I began thinking, now that
I know she really pays attention to what I write, if
all I have to do is put it in print, and she makes it
happen, my next topic has to be all those gorgeous
$100 bills I saw the US Treasury have printed
recently, and follow that with a discussion of some
of my favorite currency denominations. Perhaps.
Oh, that might be a stretch. Maybe I shouldn’t
push my luck.
However, always being one to “raise the bar”
for other guys to achieve with their ladies, since
Valentine’s Day is this week I thought that rather
than buying my wife a Valentine’s card and some
ﬂowers, I would just take her to the card and ﬂoral
shop and let her read all the cards and smell all the
ﬂowers. I’ll let you know what hospital room I’m
in next week.

Do ‘Dwarf’ trees really stay small?

atypically small animal

other weeping trees)
are extremely popular
among homeowners, who

“professionals” make this
mistake constantly, often
at the urging of their customers.
Homeowners become
frustrated when these
trees continue to grow,
sometimes reaching 20
feet wide and tall, unless
they are constantly cut
back. They’ve all seen
perfectly-sized “dwarf”
trees in their neighbor’s
gardens. The question is,
how do you tell a naturally “dwarf” tree from a
tree that’s small simply
because it’s still young
and hasn’t ﬁnished growing? Many examples of

Denver teachers go on strike in latest walkout
By Colleen Slevin
Associated Press

DENVER — Striking
teachers on Monday picketed outside of schools
and marched through
Denver’s streets as car
horns blared in support
of the latest U.S. walkout
amid a swell of educator
activism that has affected
at least a half-dozen
states over the last year.
Just over half of the
4,725 teachers working in
district-run schools called
in absent for Denver’s
first strike in 25 years.
Some students crossed
picket lines to get to class
as schools remained open
with administrators and
substitute teachers in
classrooms.
In one school, students
danced and chanted in
the hallways as they
walked out to demonstrate to support their
teachers. Other students
joined hundreds of teachers and union members
in a march past City Hall
that held up traffic in
downtown Denver.
Science teacher Abraham Cespedes said
Denver educators were

teacher activism and
strikes from Arizona to
West Virginia.

Some teachers have
become ineligible for
bonuses after their
schools lost their official
low-income status as
parts of the city undergo
gentrification.
The district has proposed raising starting
teacher pay from $43,255
to $45,500 a year. That’s
$300 a year less than the

way that helps bring people to the table to solve
it, then that’s a good
thing,” Garnett said.
The state says a
walkout will cost about
$400,000 a day and
would consume 1 to 2
percent of the district’s
annual operating budget
in about a week.
In encouraging both
sides to come to an
agreement, Gov. Jared
Polis has pointed out
that this money will no
longer be available to
help pay teachers if it is
spent on the strike.
The strike happened
after the administration
of Polis, a Democrat,
decided last week not to
get involved, believing
the negotiating positions
of administrators and
teachers were not very
far apart.
However, Polis said
the state could decide to
intervene and suspend
the strike for up to 180
days if the walkout drags
on.

Blue Devils burn Point Pleasant, 65-28
By Alex Hawley

ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports

Gallia Academy’s Justin Wilcoxon (right) drives past Point Pleasant’s Kyelar
Morrow (2), during the Blue Devils’ 65-28 victory on Saturday in Point Pleasant,
W.Va.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va.
— When you’re hot, you’re hot,
but when you’re not, you’re not.
The Gallia Academy boys
basketball team shot 56 percent
from the ﬁeld and held nonconference host Point Pleasant
to just over 20 percent from the
ﬁeld on Saturday in ‘The Dungeon’, leading the visiting Blue
Devils to a 65-28 victory.
Gallia Academy (12-8) never
trailed in the contest, scoring
the ﬁrst ﬁve points and leading
9-3 at the end of the opening
quarter.
Point Pleasant (4-13) was
back to within four points, at
13-9, after beginning the second quarter with a 6-to-4 spurt

on 6-of-6 free throws. GAHS
drained a trio of three-pointers
en route to a 9-to-5 run over
the remainder of the half and
headed into the break with a
22-14 edge.
Gallia Academy broke the
game open in the third quarter,
hitting 11-of-12 ﬁeld goals during a 27-to-8 run, and making
the margin 49-22 with eight
minutes to play.
The Blue Devils stretched
their advantage to as many
as 39 points in the ﬁnale and
settled for the 65-28 victory.
Following a second triumph
in as many nights, GAHS head
coach Gary Harrison acknowledged the slow start, and
talked about the turnaround in
the second half.
“In the ﬁrst half I thought

we were a little bit sluggish,”
Harrison said. “We had a Justin
(McClelland) and Cory (Call)
in foul trouble in the second
quarter, and I give our kids
credit, there’s two leading scorers out of the game and we’re
still ahead going into halftime.
I feel like were a third quarter
team, we scored 27 in the third
and outscored them 43-to-14
in the second half. I guess you
could say it took us a couple
quarters to get our engine
revved up.
“Josh Williams does a great
job over at Point, he’s kind of
rebuilding a little bit, but I tell
you what, they are better now
than they were at the beginning of the year. Defensively,

Wesson’s tie-breaking
dunk sends Buckeyes
past Hoosiers, 55-52
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Ohio State’s
Andre Wesson kept ﬁghting through the muck
Sunday.
When he ﬁnally got free in the ﬁnal minute, he
stole a win.
Wesson forced a game-changing turnover in the
ﬁnal minute and then slipped behind one defender
and got to the basket for a tie-breaking dunk with
20 seconds left to give the Buckeyes a 55-52 victory over Indiana.
“This is kind of the Andre I’ve seen since he got
here,” said C.J. Jackson, whose long, shot-clock
beating 3 tied the score with 71 seconds left. “He’s
playing unbelievable for us right now and we’re
going to need his scoring, his ability to do everything he does on the court for us.”
Sunday’s game was a perfect example of how
valuable Wesson can be.
While his teammates struggled to get in sync
offensively, the junior forward continually made an
impact. He ﬁnished with 15 points, four rebounds
and two steals — none bigger than the one he had
with 42 seconds to go that prevented Indiana from
taking a potential go-ahead shot.
And when it mattered most, Wesson played perfectly.
“They slipped him out. Our rotation was there. I
thought Romeo (Langford) had a chance to make
maybe a blocked shot, but he got it off the glass
quickly,” Hoosiers coach Archie Miller said. “Our
help obviously didn’t get there in time.”
Wesson’s younger brother, Kaleb, and Jackson
each scored 10 points and were the only other
players to reach double ﬁgures for the resurgent
Buckeyes (16-7, 6-6 Big Ten), who have won three
straight.
Indiana (13-11, 4-9), meanwhile, continues to
struggle. It has lost nine of 10.
The Hoosiers fought valiantly to overcome
another dismal shooting performance and ﬁnally
got the crowd into the game when Langford made
his second 3 in a 9-0 run to tie the score at 47 with
4:54 left. Langford ﬁnished with 15 points.
Devonte Green’s long, buzzer-beating 3 sent the
fans into a frenzy as Indiana took 52-49 lead with
1:46 to play.
But Jackson matched Green’s basket and Wesson
won it with his defense and his offense.
“We just knew they were going to be heavy on
the ball screen so we tried to slip him out and put
Kaleb high,” Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann
said. “I thought Andre did a great job ﬁnishing

wrestling dual team tournament held at St. John’s Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Raiders compete at D-3 state duals
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
There are no losers at this
level … only teams that
come up just short of winning state titles.
The River Valley wrestling team had its historic
postseason run come to
an end Sunday during the
quarterﬁnal round of the
2019 Division III OHSAA
state wrestling dual
team tournament held at
St. John’s Arena on the
campus of the Ohio State
University.
The seventh-seeded
Raiders — who secured
the school’s ﬁrst-ever
state appearance in a
team sport with their
Region 22 championship
— found the state competition to be a bit more
testing, as the Silver and
Black trailed 24-0 ﬁve
matches in before ultimately dropping a 54-18
decision to second-ranked
Milan Edison.
River Valley was
already in a tough spot
after falling behind 12-0
after forfeiting its 106and 113-pound bouts,
then the Chargers followed with two decisions
and a pinfall to double
their cushion out to 24-0.
Nathan Cadle put the
Raiders on the board
after pinning Garrett
Scott in the 138 division
for a 24-6 deﬁcit, but
EHS countered with two
pinfalls and two decisions
that increased the lead
back out to 42-6 with four
matches remaining.
Eric Weber scored a
pinfall over Jacob Thompson at 182 pounds for
a 30-point contest, but

Edison answered with
consecutive pinfall wins
to balloon its lead back
out to 54-12 — its largest
of the match.
Christopher Goheen,
however, sent RVHS out
on a positive note after
scoring a pinfall win over
Jackson Berardi in the
heavyweight match —
which also completed the
ﬁnal 36-point outcome.
The Raiders ended the
day with a 3-11 overall
mark in the 14 weight
classes, including a 3-9
effort in actual head-tohead competitions. River
Valley also had the only
two forfeits in the Edison
dual.
RVHS coach Matthew
Huck — now in his 20th
season with the program
— noted that the competition was ﬁerce at this
level, and that his kids
struggled a bit on this
grand stage.
However, Huck was
also very proud of his
troops for getting to this
point — not to mention
putting themselves in a
position to compete for a
collective state championship.
As he said afterwards,
it’s still an experience
that everyone will look
back on someday and be
very proud of — regardless the ﬁnal outcome.
“It’s a very proud day
for us at River Valley in
getting to this point. Only
eight teams get here,
and only one of those
eight can go home as
state champions. Going
home without a state title
doesn’t take anything
away from what we have
accomplished,” Huck
said. “We got punched in

handshake from RVHS coach Matthew Huck after winning the 138pound match against Edison on Sunday at the 2019 Division III
OHSAA wrestling dual team tournament held at St. John’s Arena
in Columbus, Ohio.

the face a little bit today,
but we’ll be better for it.
We’ll shake this off and
bounce back, hopefully go
to the TVC meet and sectionals and see if we can
produce some more good
memories this season.
“This, this was an
experience that we will
never forget. We’ve rode
a high after winning the
Region 22 title and we
rode a high competing
in this event today. This
was quite an accomplishment for all of us to be
proud of. Now we just
have to go back to work
and ﬁnish out our season
strong.”
Genoa Area ended up
repeating as Division III
champions after knocking off Edison by a 52-23
count in the ﬁnals. Genoa

defeated Rootstown (5513) and Edison — the
2017 D-3 dual champions
— beat Versailles (45-23)
in the semiﬁnal rounds.
Genoa beat Pleasant (72-6), Rootstown
defeated Blanchester (4525) and Versailles topped
Crestwood (40-29) in the
other quarterﬁnal matches in Division III.
St. Paris Graham
notched its seventh
consecutive state dual
championship since the
tournament started in
2013 after posting a
38-24 win over Aurora in
Division II. Graham won
D-2 crowns from 2013
through 2017 before capturing the Division I title
last winter.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The hole was simply too
deep.
The Hannan boys basketball team were resilient in
a comeback bid, but host Grace Christian ultimately
made a 32-16 halftime lead hold up on Friday night
during a 58-52 victory in a non-conference matchup in
Cabell County.
The visiting Wildcats (6-12) managed only two
baskets in the opening eight minutes as the Soldiers
(9-10) established an 11-5 edge, then GCS followed
with a 21-11 second quarter run that allowed the hosts
to take a 2-for-1 cushion into the break at 32-16.
HHS, however, found its offensive rhythm in the
third period as Casey Lowery and Dalton Coleman
combined for 14 points during a 20-12 surge that cut
the deﬁcit down to 44-36 entering the fourth.
The Wildcats made a 9-3 run to close to within a
possession midway through the ﬁnale, but Grace ultimately closed regulation out with an 11-7 spurt that
wrapped up the six-point outcome.
Hannan outrebounded the hosts by a 39-33 overall
margin and also committed 11 of the 26 turnovers in
the contest.
Lowery paced HHS with 14 points, followed by

Lady Falcons soar past Van

Ramey scores
19, leads Texas in
win over W.Va.

By Bryan Walters

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) —
Texas proved Saturday night that they
may be heating up at the right time.
Courtney Ramey tied a career-high
with 19 points as the Longhorns beat
West Virginia 75-53.
Texas (14-10, 6-5 Big 12) dominated
just about every facet of the game to
pick up its third win in the last four
games. The Longhorns made nine
3-pointers in the rout and outrebounded the Mountaineers 42-34.
“I thought our guys did a good job
executing what we were trying to do,”
Texas coach Shaka Smart said. “We
missed a lot of easy ones in the ﬁrst
half, but the six 3s in the ﬁrst half
along with pretty good defense allowed
us to build a lead.”
