See OUTREACH | 6A Gallia JFS reaches agreement with union By Dean Wright RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande’s School of Business welcomed area high schools Thursday for a day of business marketing competition URG’s ninth annual Visitation Day on Thursday also allowed high school students to investigate school facilities and programs related to business. “I took over ‘Visitation Day’ and thought to myself that younger demographics like to be active,” said Wesley Thoene, assistant professor of marketing. “They like to do things rather than just have a bunch of people talk to them about college. They want to do something and we found a lot of students that, when they thought of business they thought of (the movie) ‘Ofﬁce Space.’ It’s sitting in a cubicle. It’s the (comic) ‘Dilbert’ lifestyle. And I don’t want to sit in front of a computer all day. I don’t want to be bored doing spreadsheets. We found out a lot of students like to create.” Visitation Day organizers were inspired by the Donald Trump television show “The Apprentice” and decided to build a similarly styled competition to engage students as they visited the URG campus. Thoene said he felt it was good to spark students’ ingenuity and could be fun to get some of old school spirit rivalry pushing students to excel over their peers. Oak Hill, Vinton County, Wellston, Green, Gallia Academy, South Gallia and River Valley High Schools were invited to the campus to participate in the day’s events. Students pretended to be a talent agency and were assigned to help market a local band. The band could play any type of musical genre. Students were grouped into teams of four to six individuals. A genre needed to be decided, as well as a logo and name for the band designed, name of the band’s debut album and designs for album art. currently serving in the military, or a veteran who has already passed on. Lunch is served from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with the EEE Residential Program cooking Tuesday’s meal and Betty cooking the meals for Monday and WednesdayFriday. The building also has a food bank with donations from local churches and individuals, and that anyone can drop by during normal business hours and make a donation of food or money. The group also has an account at Farmers Bank. “One hundred percent goes back toward the veterans,” Betty said. GALLIPOLIS — After a two-year debate over contractual details, union workers have reportedly voted to accept a contractual offer from Gallia County Job and Family Services and Gallia County Commissioners. “I just thank the good Lord above that we have come to an agreement and can move forward as a united body serving the citizens of Gallia County,” said Gallia County Job and Family Services Director Dana Glassburn. According to Glassburn, the groups are working to have a ﬁnal implementation and hope to have details worked out to present before county commissioners at next Tuesday’s county commissioner meeting. According to Ernie Meadows, a child support investigator at the JFS and chief steward for the union Communications Workers of America Local 4320, as of November 2013 to May 2015, the groups had been in 17 bargaining sessions. Chief sticking points between the county administration and union representatives seemed to be over what was considered a fair wage with increases over time, duration and timing of the signing of contracts and what is referred to as fair share clauses in contracts. Meadows argued that while administration of the county JFS had received raises over time, workers under them had failed to see proper increases in pay to meet rising living costs. He said raises were roughly between 25 and 50 cents ever year or other year, depending on negotiations in the past. He also argued that other county entities had fair share clauses for unions in their contracts. Meadows was also concerned with the amount of money the county had spent on attorney’s fees over the two-year period of debate instead of contributing See JFS | 6A �LOCAL/STATE 2A Sunday, November 22, 2015 OBITUARIES DEATH NOTICES SHANNON JOE STOBART ROBERT DENNIS COUNCIL Cheshire; two uncles, CHESHIRE — Shannon Joe Stobart, 10, Shawn (Cheri) Stobart, Cheshire, passed away Racine; Seth (Amy) unexpectedly at 7:45 Stobart, Midland, Texas; p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, two aunts, Mary Darst, 2015, in the Holzer-Meigs Cheshire and Carrie Emergency Department.

Ohio schools superintendent seeks to save $71M COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s schools superintendent has sent a letter to the head of the federal charter schools program in an attempt to save the state’s $71 million federal grant for charter schools. Superintendent Richard Ross assured regulators in the 69-page letter dated Wednesday that the state would use the grant to open highquality public charter schools across the state, The Columbus Dispatch reported. He was responding to concerns by the U.S. Department of Education over revelations this summer involving School Choice Director David Hansen. Hansen acknowledged that he omitted failing grades of some online charter schools from state sponsor evaluations, telling the state school board he didn’t want to “mask” successes elsewhere. Five evaluations that contained the resulting inaccurate performance ratings were rescinded by the state, and Hansen resigned. Hansen is the husband of Republican Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign manager. After the federal Education Department became aware of issues with the evaluations, it wrote to Ross seeking assurances that Ohio could responsibly oversee the grant money and imposing restrictions on the flow of the first $32.7 million installment of its grant.

Charter Schools Program Director Stefan Huh instructed Ohio to refrain from drawing down funds or incurring expenses or obligations against the grant as the federal office gathers additional information from the state auditor and inspector general, among others. Thousands of pages of documents related to Hansen’s handling of the evaluation data have been turned over to those offices. Ross told the department in his letter that Ohio has made leadership changes in the Office of School Choice, appointed an independent threemember panel to review its evaluation process and passed a law adding reporting, transparency and accountability requirements for charter schools. “The law gives the department greater authority to ensure that only high-quality sponsors can oversee schools and provides incentives to sponsors that have track records of success,” he wrote. New evaluations of charter school sponsors should be completed by October 2016. That’s when the state intends to begin accepting applications for sub-grants by those seeking to open new schools. Ross is retiring at the end of the year.

She said she never gave up hope of seeing her beloved pet again. “She’s my heart. She always has been. That’s why I never gave up,” Graff told WLWT-TV in Cincinnati. Graff was reunited with Mishka on Tuesday after the Animal Friends Humane Society in Hamilton, about 30 miles north of Cincinnati, called her home in Sunbright, Tenn., to say her dog had been found through the facility’s routine scanning of strays for microchips. Graff said the dog had been there a few days before the scanning located the microchip. �LOCAL Sunday Times-Sentinel Death of boy, 10, leads to investigation By Lindsay Kriz lkriz@civitasmedia.com MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identiﬁcation are investigating the death of a 10-year-old Meigs County boy.

Sunday, November 22, 2015 3A Uncovering the facts about lung cancer Dr. Mohammed Al-Ourani Pleasant Valley Hospital An estimated 158,040 Americans are expected to die from lung cancer in 2015, accounting for approximately 27 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States. The thought of lung cancer is scary, but with one simple screening, you can ease your fear or have the hope of catching cancer early. It’s possible to treat lung cancer both quickly and aggressively with a cure for this disease. While some symptoms — a chronic cough that doesn’t go away, constant chest pain, frequent lung infections and wheezing — may seem to be more obvious signs of cancer, there are also other symptoms that may not be related to the lungs. That’s why it’s important to catch lung cancer early — because by the time the rest of the symptoms start to appear, the cancer may have already spread. And that’s when treatment gets to be more difﬁcult and too late. Pleasant Valley Hospital, the only designated lung cancer screening center with a multidisciplinary approach to care in the Point Pleasant area, provides a low-dose CT scan as an outpatient procedure. It’s not only fast, safe and effective, but it will greatly increase your chances of survival. Wondering if the lowdose CT scan is right for you? There are speciﬁc patients who are at higher risk for lung cancer. Men and women between the ages of 55 and 77, current smokers or previous smokers who have quit within the last 15 years, those who have smoked for 30 or more pack years (pack years are the average number of cigarette packs smoked per day multiplied by the number of years a person has smoked). As we work to keep this wonderful community in optimal health, our multidisciplinary team will help you understand your ﬁndings and guide you through any next steps. We’re here for you every step of the way. For more information, talk with your primary care physician or call my ofﬁce at 304-857-6518 to schedule an appointment for a lung cancer screening.

Readers look forward to the arrival of the Thanksgiving edition of their local newspaper, stuffed with advertisements for the best retail sales, deals and coupons. While many shoppers expanded their media consumption to embrace digital and mobile formats, the local newspaper — in print and digital form — remains unrivaled when it comes to providing discounts, coupons and information on deals being offered at retailers in local communities. Consumer shopping and purchasing patterns have changed signiﬁcantly with digital and mobile David technology, increasing competition Chavern among retailers to the point that Contributing “Black Friday” deals now extend Columnist throughout November. And in fact, 40 percent of consumers report starting their holiday shopping before Halloween. Intimidating, but true. “Cyber Monday” has been incredibly successful for extending Black Friday deals. Consumers are increasingly doing their holiday shopping online (46 percent of consumers plan to do their holiday shopping online this year), and online ads are a major part of the newspaper digital offering. With 24/7 access to deals for anyone with an Internet connection, the format the ad takes no longer matters, but where the consumer ﬁnds it does, and newspapers are still the most trusted source for advertising. While online shopping will be strong this year, the reality is that most purchases still occur at physical stores, making the print coupon a mainstay for shoppers. According to Nielsen, 63 percent of consumers rate newspapers’ Black Friday editions as “The Ultimate Holiday Shopping Guide” because they focus on local offerings. These editions are often more than twice the girth of a typical paper because local businesses recognize the value of effective local media in driving trafﬁc to stores. Consumers want to be connected to their local retailers, especially during the holidays. Forty percent of consumers say they will seek out small businesses just to support their community. Small Business Saturday, an annual event launched by American Express in 2010, falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, giving local retailers yet another opportunity to leverage the Black Friday section of local newspapers. With industry forecasters projecting retail sales gains more modest than last year, it is critical for retailers to reach and engage interested shoppers in their communities at every opportunity. Newspaper media offer something that other media cannot: Information on the places where shoppers regularly visit in-person and make purchases in their communities. The Ultimate Holiday Shopping Guide may look different in the future as technology and consumer preferences evolve, but one thing will remain the same: Local newspapers in print and digital will continue to be a trustworthy source of the best holiday deals that meet local shoppers’ unique needs.

For the ﬁrst issue of Salt magazine in 2016, pets will be taking center stage, and we want to know the funniest, sweetest or most heart-felt moment you’ve experienced with your beloved animal, whether it’s a cat, dog, horse or rabbit. We also want to see photos of your furry friend. Email your story and photo to me at labernathy@civitasmedia. com by Dec. 2. Keep the word limit to less than 250. Include your name and the town in which you live. All entries will be considered for publication. Bela has a way of always needing to take a bathroom break just ﬁve minutes before one of our TV programs ends, and we jokingly say, “Here comes ‘Annoying,’” as she makes her way in to see us. Whatever nicknames, titles or descriptions we give our animals, though, they will always be known to us by the most important one: family.

Students then presented materials to a panel of faculty and student judges. Presentations lasted ﬁve minutes and judges gauged students on their presentation, information, professionalism and creativity. Students ﬁnished projects by 11:14 a.m. and had an awards ceremony at 1 p.m. in the campus cafeteria after judging. Students utilized management, accounting, information technology and marketing skills throughout their projects. In previous years, Thoene said students were asked to promote their schools as being the best in southeast Ohio. They change the theme of the competition every year, but its spirit remains the same. “It’s a good day to show (students) the campus and get them in our labs, as well as getting them business and presentation experience,” Thoene said. Winners of the day’s competition were from South Gallia High School. Members of the team included Colton Bowers, Jeremy Johnson, Piccola Waugh, Harley Lay, Shaylee Rose, Josh Henry and Haley Johnson. The facility also has a single bedroom for any veteran who needs a place to stay and is referred to the facility by local agencies. Betty said referrals can be as simple as the sheriff’s ofﬁce or Meigs Count Job and Family Services calling and telling Betty or Larry that a veteran needs a place to stay. Betty said the idea of a type of club for veterans in the area came about after she and Larry married July 4, 2012.

The building, which was then owned by Hocking Valley Trading Post, was given to Betty and her husband for free after the previous owners learned that it would be a non-proﬁt for veterans that is run entirely on donations and is not associated with any government agency. After being told it would take a minimum of six months for the couple to register the facility as a non-proﬁt, Betty said the paperwork was actually approved only six days later, and the work began. They painted the walls and brought in equipment, and were high school sweethearts and found each other on Facebook 32 years later. “It was like we’d never been apart,” Betty said. Around the time the couple reunited, Larry, who is an Army veteran, was living in New York but moved to Meigs County to be with Betty. He told her that while he lived in New York, he’d had a type of veterans club and that he would like to do the same thing in Meigs County. “I kept driving by this building (which was empty at the time), and a small voice would be like, ‘Call about the build- JFS Dean Wright can be reached at (740) 446-2342, Ext. 2103.

ATHENS (4-2) Dylan Cochran, Andy Kostival, See HONORS | 6B Cardinals face Bengals in showdown GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Cincinnati quarterbacks past and present will square off Sunday night. Carson Palmer, drafted No. 1 overall by the Bengals in 2004, brings the Arizona Cardinals (7-2) into prime time against Andy Dalton and Cincinnati (8-1) in a matchup of the ﬁrstplace teams in the NFC West and AFC North. Palmer forced his way out of Cincinnati, holding out the ﬁrst six games of the 2011 season and has had a career rebirth in Arizona. Directing the NFL’s No.1-ranked offense in a season, Palmer is second to Tom Brady in touchdown passes (23) and quarterback rating (108). “This is not just another game,” Palmer said. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said there are “a lot of positive memories” of Palmer. “But, you know, Carson plays for the Cardinals now,” Lewis said. “So we shouldn’t dwell on Carson. He’s a ﬁne player. We drafted him number one overall. He was an outstanding player here, and person. He’s left a lot to build on here.” Dalton has started every game since he came into the NFL in 2011 in the midst of Palmer’s bitter holdout and subsequent trade to Oakland. The Bengals were cruising through an unbeaten season before the offense stalled in Monday night’s 10-6 home loss to the Houston Texans. Dalton completed 22 of 38 passes for a season-low 197 yards with one interception. For the ﬁrst time this season, Dalton did not throw a touchdown pass. Palmer, meanwhile, overcame two lost fumbles, throwing for three scores and directing two late touchdown drives in Arizona’s 39-32 victory at Seattle. Arizona will play in its second straight Sunday night game. The Bengals will appear in prime time for the third game in a row (Thursday, Monday and Sunday nights). Here are some things to watch: A MIRROR IMAGE: The Cardinals have repeatedly mentioned how much they see themselves in the Cincinnati offense.

Harvick primed to defend championship HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Go ahead, just try and wrestle the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship away from Kevin Harvick. No driver can put up a ﬁght quite like the champ. A former high school wrestler, Harvick has had a season’s worth of dustups just in the nine-race Chase alone. He’s sparred with Jimmie Johnson and absorbed the slings from critics who accused him of holding up a race to preserve his playoff spot. Yet Harvick is still standing, back at Homestead-Miami and primed to join an elite group of drivers who have won back-to-back championships. Richard Petty. Dale Earnhardt, Johnson, too. Those are just some of the greats who won consecutive titles. Harvick has tried to diffuse talk that he’s the heavy favorite Sunday to hold off Martin Truex Jr., Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch at the same track where he clinched his 2014 crown. His rivals aren’t buying it. “He’s the favorite,” Gordon said. “We’re the sentimentals.” Harvick proved his ﬁrstseason success at StewartHaas Racing was no ﬂuke, following up with three wins and a whopping 12 runner-up ﬁnishes this year. He survived two rough outings as the Chase began and ﬁnished third and second in his last two races. “Coming into this week and dealing with the second opportunity has not been near as hard or near as stressful as it was last year,” Harvick said. “Having that playbook of what we did last year and knowing that you can tweak on that a little bit and knowing how to manage the week is something that you can’t put a price on that because you’ve been there, done that, and you have to try to get better each time.” Tony Stewart has marveled at the season Harvick has put together at SHR and the determination that team has shown through three rounds of the elimination-format Chase. “All four drivers are capable of winning this, but having a driver that’s been through it the previous year and knows how to handle it and knows what to expect, I mean, that’s a big advantage going into a week like this,” he said. Harvick has long cited his wrestling experience for shaping him into the tenacious competitor he’s become in NASCAR. After starting out as an 86-pound freshman, Harvick quit his senior year — the last time he says he gave up any anything, and the reason he refused to count out his Chase chances after a bleak start. Harvick was knocked out of the Chase opener at Chicagoland when he connected with Johnson and blew a tire. He later got into an altercation with Johnson in the motorhome lot and shoved the Hendrick Motorsports driver. The next week at New Hampshire, his team ﬁrmly believing he could reach the ﬁnish line, he ran out of gas and was seemingly out of contention. Needing a win at Dover to advance to the next round, he led 355 laps at a track where he had never won and parked the No. 4 Chevrolet in victory lane. Typical Harvick, mastering his Game 7 races like no other in the series. Drama seems to follow him as much as the smoke that blows off the track during his victory burnouts. At Talladega, Dale Earnhardt Jr. tried to stave off elimination with a win, but when Harvick refused to cede position as his engine failed, he triggered a race-ending accident that bounced NASCAR’s most popular driver from the playoffs. Drivers were in an uproar. Harvick said he did what he had to do and NASCAR found no proof that he deliberately caused the crash to protect his position. Harvick hasn’t noticed any hint of payback in the ensuing races. “I don’t think anybody has done anything different,” he said. “I haven’t raced anybody different, and I think it’s just another race as far as that stuff goes.” This Sunday is far from another race. “When I sat at his house and we met and talked about doing this, that’s what we both said is, we wanted to be in a position where we could race for a championship, and not only for one year but do it for multiple years and keep things going,” crew chief Rodney Childers said. All Harvick has to do is ﬁnish ahead of his three competitors and he’ll make history. A year ago, he seized his opportunity with a relentless dash through the ﬁeld, picking off car after car to win the race and claim his ﬁrst championship. Stewart threw his arms around Harvick and the close friends and teammates held each other tight for several moments. It was Stewart who in 2012 convinced Harvick that if he left RCR when his contract expired at the end of 2013, he could help Harvick win his ﬁrst title. Now, they’re poised to win it again. �SPORTS Sunday Times-Sentinel Sunday, November 22, 2015 3B Lady Raiders outlast South Gallia, 47-33 By Donald Lambert the Silver and Black back out in front with three minutes left in the half.

However, River Valley outscored South Gallia 16-9 in the fourth period. The Lady Raiders connected on 21-of-31 ﬁeld goal attempts overall, including four successful shots from three-point range.

There are a lot of things we need to get better at. I wasn’t really pleased with our defensive effort, but the bright spot was we had pretty balanced scoring. We’re going to need that throughout the year.” Northup led the Red and Gold’s efforts with a game-high 14 points, followed by Evans with 11 points.

South Gallia made one shot from the free throw line in four trips to the line. “We just ran out of gas,” South Gallia coach Corey Small said. “Two of our stars are hurt and they lasted as long as they could. They all played for three quarters, but we just ran out of fuel.” Both teams will head on the road Monday as River Valley faces Southern and South Gallia takes on Ironton Saint Joseph. Both games are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Donald Lambert can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 Steelers survive injuries to remain in playoff mix PITTSBURGH (AP) — The similarities are there if you look hard enough, though the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t ones to dwell on the past. Is this year’s team like the one in 2005 that needed a strong ﬁnish just to make the postseason, then won three games on the road in the playoffs before capturing the franchise’s ﬁfth Super Bowl title? Or maybe it’s like the 2008 group that faced a ridiculously brutal schedule over the ﬁnal weeks, survived and raised the Lombardi Trophy in triumph. “You could probably draw comparisons to a lot of seasons,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. Roethlisberger and his teammates, however, prefer to live in the now. And considering the nearly laughable run of bad luck the Steelers have endured over the last three months, they’re not exactly complaining. The defending AFC North champions are in the thick of the wild-card race at 6-4 and haven’t given up hope of catching ﬁrst-place Cincinnati despite a series of setbacks that left them wondering if there’s a voodoo doll somewhere wearing a Steelers jersey and stuck full of pins. Center Maurkice Pouncey seems destined to miss the entire season after getting his ankle rolled on in the preseason. Left tackle Kelvin Beachum shredded his left knee against the Cardinals in October. Roethlisberger and running back Le’Veon Bell have played all of three quarters together. Bell missed the ﬁrst two games while serving a suspension, then saw Roethlisberger leave in Week 3 against St. Louis with a sprained left knee. Roethlisberger returned in Week 8 against Cincinnati only to watch Bell’s right knee twist awkwardly beneath him in the second quarter, Bell’s 2015 ending right along with it. “We’ve had injuries but never like this to your ‘two best guys,’ the left tackle and the center,” said offensive line coach Mike Munchak, who has been in the league since 1982. “They’ve meant so much to the football team, not just the offensive line.” Yet Pittsburgh has persevered, winning on the road in San Diego on a Monday night when head coach Mike Tomlin brazenly passed up a chip-shot ﬁeld goal that would have sent the game to overtime in favor of a gutsy touchdown run by Bell as the clock hit zero. When whatever magic Michael Vick had left appeared to vanish — and a gimpy hamstring appeared — against Arizona, third-stringer Landry Jones came off the bench. He hardly looked like the player who had struggled for three training camps to make any signiﬁcant inroads on the primary backup spot. All Jones did was toss a pair of secondhalf touchdowns to lead a rally against one of the NFC’s best teams. Roethlisberger returned the favor last weekend, gritting his teeth while playing through a badly sprained left foot to pass for 379 yards and three scores off the bench against the Browns after Jones left with busted ankle. Considering the problems that have struck elsewhere when major contributors go down (see Cowboys, Dallas), Pittsburgh knows it’s in pretty good shape. Yet all it has done is set the stage for a challenging ﬁnish that starts next weekend in Seattle. The Steelers’ ﬁnal six games come against teams either leading their division (Indianapolis, Denver and Cincinnati), are visits to division rivals (Baltimore and Cleveland) or to the two-time defending NFC champion Seahawks. “We have a really, really tough stretch,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s kind of the fourth quarter of the season. We’re really going to have to put our heads down and go to work.” If Roethlisberger and his sore left foot can stay on the ﬁeld instead of in the trainer’s room, Pittsburgh understands it has a shot. The defense is giving up plenty of yards but not a ton of points, a trade-off new coordinator Keith Butler can live with. Sacks and turnovers are up and the Steelers have shown a return to physical play that was the franchise’s hallmark during its last extended run as one of the AFC’s elite from 2001-10. “Intimidation I think is a byproduct of (our hitting) and it can help,” defensive backs coach Carnell Lake said. “First things ﬁrst is just to make sure we make a play, and they’re doing that.” More will be required, however, if Pittsburgh wants to repeat its late-season run of last fall. The Steelers emerged from a funk to go unbeaten in December on their way to their seventh division title of the millennium. The offseason addition of DeAngelo Williams, whose 32-year-old legs are showing plenty of life, has mitigated some of the expected dropoff following Bell’s exit. Antonio Brown and Martavis Bryant give Roethlisberger one of the best wide receiver combinations in the league. Defensive ends Cam Heyward and Stephon Tuitt are having breakout seasons at the front of a unit that is growing up quickly. HARD TO WRAP. EASY TO GIVE.

The Point Pleasant football program secured its third state semiﬁnal appearance in school history Friday night after dismantling seventhseeded Huntington by a 49-0 margin in a Class AAA quarterﬁnal playoff game at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The second-seeded Big Blacks (12-0) were simply dominant from the start, as the hosts forced ﬁve ﬁrst half turnovers that led to 21 points en route to an impressive 42-0 halftime advantage. PPHS, which churned out 274 of its 421 yards of total offense in the ﬁrst half, also ﬁnished the evening plus-6 in turnover differential. Point Pleasant not only handed the Highlanders (9-3) their worst postseason loss since a 46-7 setback to eventual-state champion Martinsburg in the second round of the 2011 playoffs, but the hosts also set another school record for the largest margin of victory in any playoff game. The history didn’t stop there, however, as senior Cody Mitchell — a verbal commit to Marshall University — became the ﬁrst Big Black to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season after ﬁnishing the night with 267 yards and four touchdowns on 27 carries. It’s also the ﬁrst time in the program’s Class AAA history — and second overall — that the Big Blacks are 12-0 on their way to the state semiﬁnals. The 1979 AAA squad won only one game before losing in the state semis during an 8-team format, then Point eventually went 13-0 in Class AA before falling in the 2011 state ﬁnal. In all, it was a great night for the Big Blacks — who improved to 7-2 all-time in playoff contests at OVB Field. Ninthyear PPHS coach Dave Darst was practically all smiles following this kind of showing. “What else can I say except our defense did an outstanding job this evening. To post a shutout against a football team like Huntington High is just a fantastic night for us,” Darst said. “Here we are in the quarterﬁnals of triple-A and we’re still scoring those kind of points. I mean wow, what a year we are having. We’re never going to have another year like this offensively, and it’s just unbelievable to watch every week. “We’re in the triple-A semiﬁnals for the ﬁrst time since 1979, and we only had to win one game back then to get there. We’re just really having a blast with this right now.” Point Pleasant advances to the Class AAA semiﬁnal next weekend, which will be held at Point Pleasant either Friday night or Saturday. The Big Blacks will face Wheeling Park, which defeated South Charleston 41-0 on Friday night. The day and time will be determined Sunday. After all of the outside talk about Point’s weak schedule and how the Big Blacks hadn’t played anyone, Darst was asked afterwards if he took any pride in the ﬁnal outcome against Huntington — a state semiﬁnalist in each of the last two years. “It’s satisfying. I’m not going to tell you that it isn’t,” Darst humbly noted afterwards. “We’ve known that we have a good football team, and we are just proud of the kids and the effort that they put in. We did a lot of things well tonight.” The Big Blacks forced a three-and-out on Huntington’s opening possession, then went 67 yards in ﬁve plays for an early 7-0 lead. Mitchell capped a 2:03 drive with a 48-yard run Hamlin, Logano keep title contenders off of the front row HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano, eliminated from title contention in earlier rounds of NASCAR’s playoffs, played spoiler Friday by sweeping the front row for the season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Hamlin, who was eliminated in the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, won the pole. Logano, who had the strongest car during the Chase and probably should be in the four-driver ﬁnale, qualiﬁed second. “We wish we were a part of it but unfortunately a couple mechanical things took us out of this Chase, but we’re going to hopefully go out with a bang,” said Hamlin, who jokingly referred to himself as “Mr. Irrelevant.” Logano, who swept all three races in the third round of the Chase, said a win at Homestead would bookend a season that began with a Daytona 500 victory. “Is it disappointing we aren’t racing with these guys for the championship? Of course it is,” Logano said. “We want to be. But it is what it is and we move on.” The championship will be decided Sunday and go to the highest ﬁnishing driver of the ﬁnal four in the Chase. The four racing for the title are: defending series champion Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. Busch posted the third-fastest lap, best among the Chase ﬁnalists, and said he leaned on teammate Hamlin for the strong qualifying run. “That’s good company to follow right there with (Hamlin) on the pole,” Busch said. “He’s obviously one of the best here and I’ve leaned on him a lot this week and we’ll continue to do so here through practice.” Gordon was ﬁfth in qualifying for the ﬁnal race of his career. The four-time NASCAR champion is retiring at the end of the season and used three strong runs in qualifying to earn a solid starting spot for what he ﬁgures will be one of the most hectic days of his 23-year career. “I’m anticipating Sunday being truly insane,” Gordon said. “I’m having a blast. Just seeing people that I grew up racing quarter midgets with, family and friends, and I mean, it’s a win-win for me this weekend, no matter what happens. Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Point Pleasant junior Jason Wamsley (13) hauls in a 38-yard touchdown pass over Huntington’s Terrance Tate (6) in the first quarter of the Big Blacks 49-0 victory, Friday night in the WVSSAC Class AAA quarterfinal at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field. out of the Wildcat formation at the 8:57 mark of the opening canto. Sophomore Tucker Mayes recovered a fumble at the Point 11 on Huntington’s ensuing possession, but the Big Blacks were unable to do anything with the ﬁrst of their ﬁve takeaways before the break. HHS had a bad snap on a punt attempt during its next drive, which ended up giving the hosts possession at the Highlander 31. Grant Safford capped a three-play, 31-yard drive with a two-yard TD run at the 2:42 mark to make it a 14-0 contest. Safford then recovered a fumble on Huntington’s next possession, which in turn led to a 38-yard TD pass from Mitchell to Jason Wamsley with 59 seconds left for a 21-0 advantage. Huntington’s ensuing drive resulted in a fumble that was picked up by PPHS senior Dakota Swann, who rumbled 40 yards to paydirt for a 28-0 edge with 25 seconds remaining. Huntington committed its ﬁfth turnover of the ﬁrst quarter after Mitchell intercepted a pass with 16 seconds left before going down at the HHS 29-yard line. PPHS needed only three plays and 41 seconds to pad its lead as Mitchell scored on a 12-yard scamper with 11:35 left until halftime, making it a 35-0 contest. Mitchell also capped a seven-play, 49-yard drive with 1:47 left in the half following a two-yard run that gave Point a 42-0 cushion headed into the break. The hosts claimed a 10-3 edge in ﬁrst downs and owned a 274-78 overall advantage in total offense during the ﬁrst half, which included a sizable 218-51 lead in rushing yards. Mitchell wrapped up the scoring in thrilling fashion after breaking loose on a 50-yard run, which gave PPHS a 49-0 advantage at the 7:44 mark of the third canto. Cody McDaniel and Garrett Litchﬁeld also had an interception apiece for the Point defense, while kicker Jason Schultz was a perfect 7-for-7 on PAT kicks. Point Pleasant outgained the guests by a substantial 421-157 overall margin, which included a 342-78 advantage in rushing yards. Both teams had 78 yards through the air, but the hosts ﬁnished the night with a 17-6 edge in ﬁrst downs. The Big Blacks were penalized seven times for 70 yards, while HHS was ﬂagged four times for 36 yards. Safford followed Mitchell with 80 rushing yards on 21 carries, while Nathan Bowman added two runs for 16 yards. Mitchell was 2-of-2 passing for 40 yards and a touchdown, while Cason Payne went 4-of-6 passing for 39 yards. Wamsley led the hosts with three catches for 47 yards, followed by Litchﬁeld with two catches for 18 yards. Mitchell also hauled in one pass for 14 yards. Jaylen Adaway led the HHS rushing attack with 44 yards on six carries, followed by Terrance Tate with 29 yards on 11 totes and Seth Finnegan with 19 yards on ﬁve tries. Adaway was also 4-of-16 passing for 79 yards and three interceptions. All four completed passes by Adaway went to Dionne Jackson. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Browns switch to Manziel at bye week CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Manziel got promoted during the bye week. Everyone else was put on notice. With yet another season splitting at the seams, the Browns decided during their extended break that it’s time to get a long look at Manziel, who is ﬁnally showing signs of development in his second NFL season and will have six games to show whether he can grow from Johnny Football into Johnny Franchise. But unless Manziel pulls off some magic and gets a few wins, other major changes probably lie ahead in Cleveland. That’s the way it goes every two or three years around here. At 2-8, the Browns are going nowhere fast. They hit the bye riding a ﬁve-game losing streak, which dropped second-year coach Mike Pettine’s record to 2-13 in his last 15 games. Hard to believe, but he was 6-3 at this point a year ago. The clock is ticking for him. Following a 30-9 shellacking in Pittsburgh last week, which included the Browns committing 12 penalties for 188 yards, owner Jimmy Haslam said he would not shake things up while the team was off. However, Haslam, who pledged continuity by saying he wouldn’t “blow things up” when training camp opened in August, could be forced to overhaul his organization again. Haslam would prefer to stay the course. Once a minority owner of the Steelers, the NFL’s idyllic model of championship continuity, he understands that another coaching change — Cleveland is on its seventh coach since 1999; Pittsburgh, has had three since 1969 — will put his franchise further back. If that’s even possible. The Browns are down, deeper down than anyone expected this season. Pettine said he and his staff would devote the bye to week to ﬁguring out “the ‘why’ of where we are,” he said. “Being a 2-8 football team forces you to question yourself and question your methods.” There’s a long list of questions that need to be addressed: — Why has the Browns’ rushing defense — the league’s worst last season — not improved? They used a ﬁrst-round draft pick (No. 12 overall) on massive nose tackle Danny Shelton, who hasn’t lived up to expectations as a playmaker and seems misplaced in coordinator Jim O’Neil’s scheme. — When will cornerback Justin Gilbert get on the ﬁeld? Cleveland’s secondary has been decimated by injuries and yet Gilbert, the No. 8 overall pick in 2014, is playing only on special teams and seems so far removed from this coaching staff’s plans that he may as well not be on the roster. — What happens to rookie running back Duke Johnson in the second half? Johnson has had an impact with runs and receptions in the ﬁrst half of games, but then disappears, used mostly by offensive coordinator John DeFilippo as a decoy in motion after halftime. He had just two touches against Pittsburgh, zero against Cincinnati and one versus Arizona. Running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery was asked to explain Johnson’s disappearing act. “I can’t,” Montgomery said. “That’s a question that you’d have to ask Flip because I don’t call the plays.” — Will general manager Ray Farmer be held accountable for his drafts and offseason moves? Beyond his questionable ﬁrstround picks the past two years — Gilbert and Manziel in 2014, Shelton and offensive lineman Cam Erving in ‘15 — his signing of wide receiver Dwayne Bowe may be the most puzzling. Bowe was given a two-year, free-agent contract and $9 million guaranteed and so far has caught three passes and been inactive for ﬁve games. Pettine’s decision to move Manziel ahead of veteran Josh McCown was inevitable — and necessary. The Browns have to ﬁnd out if the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner is the long-term answer at quarterback or if they need to take one early in next year’s draft. Manziel’s progress on and off the ﬁeld has been encouraging, but it’s going to be difﬁcult for him to shine over the last six weeks with a suspect supporting cast led by a coaching staff with an uncertain future. Pettine was reluctant to make the move, feeling McCown gave his team the best chance to win and knowing it could directly affect his future. However, after Manziel played so solidly against the Steelers, Pettine, possibly with a nudge from Haslam, made the switch. “We want to get a good sense of where he is,” Pettine said. “This will allow us to have a lot more information as we assess the quarterback position moving forward.” �CLASSIFIEDS Sunday Times-Sentinel Yes, we have apples!

Harper did that, and a lot more. The Washington slugger put behind his injury-plagued past and put up huge numbers, becoming the youngest unanimous MVP winner in baseball history when he captured the NL honor Thursday. Toronto third baseman Josh Donaldson took the AL MVP after helping to boost the Blue Jays back into the postseason for the ﬁrst time since 1993. “We tore down a lot of thresholds this organization has had,” he said. Harper turned 23 on Oct. 16, after his Nationals had already missed the postseason. The outﬁelder got all 30 ﬁrst-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, and was the ﬁrst MVP in either league from a non-playoff team since Albert Pujols with St. Honors Louis in 2008. “Very excited, very humbled,” Harper said. Harper seemed destined for stardom ever since Sports Illustrated put him on the cover at 16. He began with a bang, making the All-Star team soon after his big league debut and emerging as the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year. But his all-out style of play cost him, too. He missed a slew of games in 2013 after a pair of runins with walls, then was sidelined for much of 2014 following a headﬁrst slide Showdown that hurt his thumb. The whole way, expectations kept building for Harper, not that he worried about them. “I just want to do what I do,” he said on a conference call. This year, Harper played 153 games, avoided the disabled list and kept climbing the stat charts. Harper hit .330 with 42 home runs and 99 RBIs. He led the majors with a .649 slugging percentage and a .460 on-base average. He went into the ﬁnal day of the regular season with a chance to win the NL batting title — Miami’s Dee Gordon edged him good up front.

Harper was the ﬁrst player from a Washington franchise to win an MVP since the BBWAA awards began in 1931 — no one on the original or expansion Senators or Nats had done it. Harper was the fourthyoungest player overall to win an MVP, with Stan Musial, Johnny Bench and Vida Blue also 22 but not quite as old. Arizona ﬁrst baseman Paul Goldschmidt ﬁnished second in the voting and Cincinnati ﬁrst baseman Joey Votto was third. Yoenis Cespedes, acquired by the Mets from Detroit at the July 31 trade deadline, came in 13th. Harper did much better than the banged-up Nationals, who started the season as World Series favorites and ﬁnished 83-79. “Really not sure,” he said. “Sometimes, the ball doesn’t roll your way.” The three-time All-Star also continued to draw fans in the Washington area and beyond. His constantly changing hairstyles are always getting attention, and the selﬁe he took in the outﬁeld before a game at Nationals Park this season boosted his popularity even more. into a prolonged losing streak. Arizona will be looking for its third straight victory. With a win, the Bengals would be 9-1 for the first time in franchise history. RUN THE BALL: As is often the case, the team that runs the ball probably will have the best chance at a victory. Arizona rushed for 117 yards at Seattle, but 48 of them came on Andre Ellington’s game-clinching touchdown. In last week’s win at Seattle, Chris Johnson rushed for just 58 yards in 28 carries. Cincinnati’s running game has been erratic all season and reached a new low in the loss to the Texans. Dalton was the Bengals’ leading rusher at halftime with 30 yards. Cincinnati has been limited to 78 yards or less in two of the last three games. CENTURY MARK: Arizona will be playing its 100th game at University of Phoenix Stadium, and every one of them has been a sellout. And the place is loud. Arizona leads the NFL in inducing false start penalties since the stadium was built in 2006. The stadium also has created a revenue stream that’s helped the franchise succeed. It includes one of the best surfaces in the NFL, natural grass turf that’s rolled outside into the desert sunshine when it’s not in use. “‘I know there’s going to be great energy in that building,” Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald said. “We’re looking forward to feeding off of that energy against a team that’s going to come in there hungry for a win.” THE MUST SEE EVENT OF THE YEAR 0% FINANCING FOR 75 MONTHS + UP TO $1500 BONUS CASH ON SELECT 200, 300/300C AND TOWN & COUNTRY MODELS+ ELIGIBLE VEHICLES: CHRYSLER 200 (EXCLUDES LX), 300, 300C, TOWN & COUNTRY, JEEP CHEROKEE (EXCLUDES SPORT), DODGE CHARGER (EXCLUDES SCAT PACK & SRT), GRAND CARAVAN, RAM 1500, FIAT 500 AND ABARTH, 0% APR FINANCING FOR 75 MONTH EQUALS $13.33 PER MONTH PER $1,000 FINANCED REGARDLESS OF DOWN PAYMENT WHEN FINANCED THROUGH CHRYSLER CAPITAL.

Work begins on floodwall murals By Dave Lavender Associated Press HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — When 24-year old Chicago native and skateboarder Nikko Kimbrough moved to Chesapeake, Ohio, he feared he would never ﬁnd a skate park. He was pleasantly shocked to ﬁnd the Huntington skate park just a stone’s skip over the Ohio River tucked behind the ﬂoodwall. Already a regular at the park, Kimbrough is also stoked to see some art blooming on the nearby ﬂoodwall. “This little park is sick, and I couldn’t believe I found out and that it’s so close,” said Kimbrough, who teaches at Tumble World in Chesapeake. “When I moved here I was like where am I going to skate, and it is right over the bridge … I like the whole art idea. My mom is big into art and I am big into art and the set-up is sweet. Like I was saying with videos, if he does have a whole collage or mural or something that really stands out, it will make this park more known, and I like the leaves in general. Like, I don’t even know how he did it.” He is Chris Wallace, chairman of Generation Huntington, which is a young professionals committee under the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce. What he did is called reverse grafﬁti - taking large-scale stencils of artistic designs (in this instance a tree) and power washing the wall to leave a mural on the ﬂoodwall. No chemicals were used in the process. And for better or worse, the murals are not going to be at the skate park. It was only a test, but just a sign of things to come. Recently, Wallace, who also owns Brand Yourself at Heritage Station, and a crew hung the stencils (cut by Robert C. Byrd Insti- tute) and power washed out the mural to see if it would work. Located near the entrance of the skate park, tucked into the west end of Harris Riverfront Park, the mural of a tree with leaves was a success and will lead to a full blown project in the spring at the park on the city side of the ﬂoodwall.

Hickam’s book uses family legends By Sarah Plummer Associated Press BECKLEY, W.Va. — In his forthcoming book “Carrying Albert Home,” Homer Hickam weaves together family lore, historical accuracies, comedy and a touch of sadness as he tells the story of his parents’ journey from Coalwood, W.Va., to Orlando, Fla., to return home a pet alligator named Albert. The book is subtitled “The Somewhat True Story of a Man, His Wife and Her Alligator,” and it is those blurred lines between truth, the unreliability of memories and the way stories become stretched and exaggerated over time that give this novel its charm. Albert was a wedding present from the Hollywood actor and dancer Buddy Ebsen to the author’s parents, Homer and Elsie Lavender Hickam. The reptile grew under the loving and watchful eye of Elsie, but Homer becomes preoccupied with Elsie’s affec- tions for Albert, which he believes reveal her secret affections for Ebsen. He gives his wife an ultimatum — It’s him or the alligator — and they begin their long journey to carry Albert home to Florida in 1935. At constant odds with one another and facing dangerous adventures, the two travel 1,000 miles before learning how to come home together. Writer, retired NASA Engineer and West Virginia native Homer Hickam is best known OPEN ENROLLMENT *Seniors (over 65) or on Disability, help with Prescription Drug coverage *Seniors (over 65) or on Disability, help with their choices between Advantage Plans or Supplement (Medigap) Plans. *Open Enrollment begins November for the Affordable Care Act Plans (Obama Care). for his memoir “Rocket Boys,” which is a New York Times Best Seller and was the basis for the movie “October Sky.” Although “Carrying Albert Home” stands on its own as a work of ﬁction, Hickam said it could not have been written before the movie. In this most recent work, which is to go on sale Oct. 13, Hickam tries to paint a more accurate depiction of his parents. “I felt people had the wrong idea of who my parents were,” he explained. “My dad was supposed to be this harsh, unrelenting authoritarian ﬁgure and Elsie is a wimp. That is not the way they are in the book, but most people see the movie. I wanted people to know who my parents really were.” He said that while his father was an authoritarian in the coal mines, his mother was in charge at home and always got her way with her husband. “In Coalwood, Mom was considered eccentric. The fact that she used to own an alligator would not have been surprising, but she had a love of animals that was passed on to me and my brother. My mom had a green thumb for animals. No matter what kind of animal it was, that animal would thrive,” he said. It was not uncommon for alligators to be given as gifts or brought home as souvenirs from Florida during the 1930s, but they rarely survived. For Albert to grow to 5 feet in length and enjoy both the coal camp house bathtub and a special concrete pond in the yard is a testimony to Elsie’s devotion, ability and, perhaps, stubbornness. This year is about to come to an end and the holidays are almost here. You dream of good times with family and friends, especially, the time of giving. Mass produced items are not always the best way to shop. This year, more than ever before, may you give and receive in abundance as you share sweet holiday joy through crochet gift-giving. It’s not a cheap route to take, but it’s a creative one. So many beautiful items, well-put-together, can be hand-crocheted for baby, to grandKaren mother and grandfather by the indeBuffington pendent crochet artists I have met. Contributing “You” are the one who thinks they Columnist would not appreciate your works of love. So, why not celebrate by ﬁnding the time to get together, like the Old Fashioned Quilting Bees of days gone by, with other hookers, to crochet some unique items: trimmings, stocking, inspirational wall hangings, gingerbread cottages, dolls and etc. Collect a wide variety of projects, if possible, that will help you out whenever you need to stitch up a quick gift or bazaar items. For those who can make their hooks hum beautiful music, these projects can be done in a few hours, so make then “your choice!” Take along Crocheting is so portable, so any time I go on a trip, my crochet goes with me. There are some exceptions to that rule. During your down time, you can work on a project. You may not think so, but a lot of progress can be made and, eventually, you have something to show for your efforts. I don’t consider myself a “so-called expert,” but there are a few stitches I am improving upon as times goes on and learning so many new ones as I continue to hum along. This is what makes this art interesting and fun. Grow and change I don’t care who you are, the majority of us love something about the “good old days.” What is called nostalgic was interesting and fun. The fact is, it’s over. What mother and grandmother used to stitch up, as good as they were or are, will be in our memory forever. The reality is, “everything does change, everybody changes and they grow.” Why not be more interesting and change rather than staying in the same mode all the time? Change what you do, be more interesting, keep getting better and make people say, “Fancy that!” Humming hooks I have met so many talented crocheters during the years I have been doing crochet art. We talked, we shopped, helped one another with a stitch or two, met in a group setting and, sometimes, listened when they didn’t know I was listening in on their conversations with others, about all the creative work they do to keep those hooks humming. Shame on me! So, since we are such a creative group, why can’t we present a crochet gallery of our artwork? It would not be to compare with others, but to show how crochet art can be expressed so it can gain more appreciation. We can learn from each other during that time of sharing. Maybe people will appreciate the beauty and awesomeness of crochet on display. How about it? Knotty or nice By this time of the year, if you are making gifts, there are a lot of quick ideas in mind that you can make and give to a friend or family member. There are bath and hand towels that can be trimmed with beautiful edging; safe toys that can be crocheted for babies and toddlers, place mats and even doilies. Whatever you do, enjoy doing it. Whether you’re “knotty or nice,” I hope your stocking will be ﬁlled with beautiful gifts. Merry Christmas to all and a wonderful New Year!
