The mission of God’s Hands at Work
By Brittany Hively

VINTON, Ohio — What was once
just a small way to give back to the
community has now turned into a
nonproﬁt assisting ﬁve surrounding
counties.
Working in a mission ﬁeld was
originally a calling that Lisa Carroll
was reluctant to answer. God’s Hands
at Work became her mission ﬁeld.
“When there was a need in the
community that I saw when I had

stuff like that,” Carroll said.
One year, after several devastating

helped lead collecting donations to
help all who needed it.
“We started it that way and then
the community seemed to really be

West Virginia’s buck gun

CHARLESTON, W.Va.

The season traditionally opens on the Monday before Thanksgiving.

January will be the
completion of God’s
Hands at Work’s eighth
year serving the community —now serving
residents in Gallia,
Meigs, Vinton and Jackson counties in Ohio
and Mason County, West
Virginia.
Carroll always felt
called to the mission
ﬁeld but thought that
meant moving overseas, away everything
she knew and she was
scared.
“I always felt called to
the mission ﬁeld and I
was scared of that calling ,” Carroll said. “I
realize this is really my
calling now, it might
have been different back
then, but this is my mission ﬁeld.”
Carroll said she never
dreamed of the impact
God’s Hands at Work
would have on the community or how large the
service would grow.
“When I leave here,
sometimes when
everybody’s gone and
I go through and I’m
checking heat, turning the lights off and
everything; sometimes
I just start crying,” Carroll said. “Two weeks
before the ﬁre happened,
I said, ‘Lord, use me
however you can use
my little store as a way
to reach people and let
people know about you
and your power and
your goodness and what
you’re capable of doing

Carroll said after two-

an antlered buck. Anyone who wants an additional buck must buy a
stamp from the state and
have additional licensing.
Most counties are
open to concurrent antlerless deer hunting during the traditional buck
gun season, which ends

the state’s deer seasons
help bring in millions
of dollars to the state’s

and-a-half years of using
the Treasure Cove storefront for the nonproﬁt,
the current building
became available. At this
point, she said the organization needed a building to stay setup.
God’s Hands at Work
was hosting a fundraiser
the Sunday after the
current location, which
was previously a church,
had closed. A member of
the church attended the
fundraiser, where Carroll said a building fund
would soon be launched,
this led to the nonproﬁt
moving into its current
location.
The nonproﬁt has several programs to assist
the community including but not limited to,
a mobile food pantry,
food pantry, ﬁnancial
assistance, employment
assistance, medical
equipment assistance,
Princess Prom Program,
Jesus and Me, Back-toschool program and a
number of other programs and activities.
Carroll said whenever
they cannot provide the
needed assistance for
someone they try to help
refer them out, with
40-50 other agencies
within the ﬁve counties
they serve.
God’s Hand’s at Work
is currently working on
obtaining some grant
funding and have a few
projects in discussion
Carroll said.
She said the organization runs on the faith
of God as there is not a

consistent income for
the nonproﬁt.
“We walk on faith
every single month,”
Carroll said.
The nonproﬁt is open
on Mondays by appointment. A baby pantry,
Bundles of Blessing,
recently opened and is
open the third Wednesday of the month for
walk-ins from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
Currently God’s Hands
at Work is in need of volunteers and donations
for the baby pantry and
nonperishable and indate food items for the
food pantry.
Carroll said there
is also a Blessing Box
outside of the servicecenter that people are
welcome to donate items
to, she said they ﬁll the
box, sometimes twice
whenever they are at the
building.
There will also be
a Christmas dinner
giveaway on Dec. 20,
Carroll said due to a
limited number of available meals, sign-ups
will begin shortly after
Thanksgiving.
To keep up with the
nonproﬁt, join God’s
Hands at Work Facebook
group. To volunteer or

TODAY IN HISTORY
The Associated Press

Today is Tuesday,
Nov. 23, the 327th day
of 2021. There are 38
days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in
history:
On Nov. 23, 1971,
the People’s Republic of
China was seated in the
U.N. Security Council.
On this date:
In 1889, the ﬁrst
jukebox made its debut
in San Francisco, at the
Palais Royale Saloon.
(The coin-operated
device consisted of four
listening tubes attached
to an Edison phonograph.)
In 1903, Enrico
Caruso made his American debut at the Metropolitan Opera House in
New York, appearing in
“Rigoletto.”
In 1914, the sevenmonth U.S. military
occupation of Veracruz,
Mexico, ended.
In 1936, Life, the photojournalism magazine
created by Henry R.
Luce (loos), was ﬁrst
published.
In 1963, President
Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed Nov. 25 a day
of national mourning

following the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.
In 1980, some 2,600
people were killed by
a series of earthquakes
that devastated southern
Italy.
In 1992, country
music star Roy Acuff
died in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 89.
In 1996, a commandeered Ethiopian
Airlines Boeing 767
crashed into the water
off the Comoros Islands,
killing 125 of the 175
people on board, including all three hijackers.
In 2000, in a setback
for Al Gore, the Florida
Supreme Court refused
to order Miami-Dade
County ofﬁcials to
resume hand-counting
its election-day ballots. Meanwhile, Gore’s
lawyers argued in a
brief ﬁled with the U.S.
Supreme Court that the
high court should stay
out of the Florida election controversy.
In 2003, ﬁve U.S.
soldiers were killed in
a helicopter crash in
Afghanistan. Eduard
Shevardnadze (sheh-vahrd-NAHD’-zeh) resigned
as president of Georgia
in the face of protests.
In 2006, former KGB

spy Alexander Litvinenko (leet-vee-NYEN’-koh)
died in London from
radiation poisoning
after making a deathbed
statement blaming Russian President Vladimir
Putin.
In 2008, the government unveiled a bold
plan to rescue Citigroup,
injecting a fresh $20
billion into the troubled
ﬁrm as well as guaranteeing hundreds of billions of dollars in risky
assets.
Ten years ago:
Yemen’s authoritarian
President Ali Abdullah
Saleh (AH’-lee ahbDUH’-luh sah-LEH’)
agreed to step down
amid a ﬁerce uprising to
oust him after 33 years
in power.
Five years ago:
President-elect Donald Trump selected
two Republican women
who’d had unﬂattering
things to say about him
during the campaign:
South Carolina Gov.

the United Nations and
charter school advocate
Betsy DeVos to lead the
Department of Education.

How COVID shots for kids help prevent dangerous new variants WVa
By Laura Ungar
AP Medical Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Cadell
Walker rushed to get her 9-yearold daughter Solome vaccinated
against COVID-19 — not just to
protect her but to help stop the
coronavirus from spreading and
spawning even more dangerous
variants.
“Love thy neighbor is something that we really do believe,
and we want to be good community members and want to
model that thinking for our
daughter,” said the 40-year-old
Louisville mom, who recently
took Solome to a local middle
school for her shot. “The only
way to really beat COVID is
for all of us collectively to work
together for the greater good.”
Scientists agree. Each infection — whether in an adult in
Yemen or a kid in Kentucky —
gives the virus another opportunity to mutate. Protecting a new,
large chunk of the population
anywhere in the world limits
those opportunities.
That effort got a lift with 28
million U.S. kids 5 to 11 years
old now eligible for child-sized
doses of the Pﬁzer-BioNTech
vaccine. Moves elsewhere, like
Austria’s recent decision to
require all adults to be vaccinated and even the U.S. authorizing
booster shots for all adults on

Solome Walker, 9, looks down at her bandage after getting her first Pfizer COVID19 shot at a vaccination clinic for young students at Ramsey Middle School
on Saturday in Louisville, Ky. Scientists say vaccinating kids against COVID19 should not only slow the spread of the coronavirus but also help prevent
potentially-dangerous variants from emerging. Each new infection brings another
opportunity for the virus to mutate and evolve dangerous new traits.

Friday, help by further reducing
the chances of new infection.
Vaccinating kids also means
reducing silent spread, since
most have no or mild symptoms
when they contract the virus.
When the virus spreads unseen,
scientists say, it also goes
unabated. And as more people
contract it, the odds of new variants rise.
David O’Connor, a virology expert at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, likens
infections to “lottery tickets
that we’re giving the virus.” The

jackpot? A variant even more
dangerous than the contagious
delta currently circulating.
“The fewer people who are
infected, the less lottery tickets
it has and the better off we’re all
going to be in terms of generating the variants,” he said, adding that variants are even more
likely to emerge in people with
weakened immune systems who
harbor the virus for a long time.
Researchers disagree on how
much kids have inﬂuenced the
course of the pandemic. Early
research suggested they didn’t

HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN

contribute much to viral spread.
But some experts say children
played a signiﬁcant role this
year spreading contagious variants such as alpha and delta.
Getting kids vaccinated could
make a real difference going
forward, according to estimates
by the COVID-19 Scenario
Modeling Hub, a collection of
university and medical research
organizations that consolidates
models of how the pandemic
may unfold. The hub’s latest
estimates show that for this
November through March 12,
2022, vaccinating 5- to 11-yearolds would avert about 430,000
COVID cases in the overall
U.S. population if no new variant arose. If a variant 50%
more transmissible than delta
showed up in late fall, 860,000
cases would be averted, “a big
impact,” said project co-leader
Katriona Shea, of Pennsylvania
State University.
Delta remains dominant for
now, accounting for more than
99% of analyzed coronavirus
specimens in the United States.
Scientists aren’t sure exactly
why. Dr. Stuart Campbell Ray,
an infectious disease expert at
Johns Hopkins University, said
it may be intrinsically more
infectious, or it may be evading
at least in part the protection
people get from vaccines or having been infected before.

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — Tolls on the West
Virginia Turnpike will
increase at the beginning
of next year, ofﬁcials said.
The rate for most passenger vehicles will rise by
5% on Jan. 1, going from
$4 to $4.25, West Virginia Parkways Authority
Executive Director Jeffrey
Miller told a legislative
committee, the Charleston
Gazette-Mail reported.
The E-Z Pass annual
program will also see an
increase from $25 annually
to $26.50, Miller said.
The proposed fee schedule for the turnpike allows
up to a 5 percent increase
every three years, he said.
Voters approved selling
up to $1.6 billion in bonds
to fund the Roads to Prosperity program in 2017
and the Parkways Authority has returned $595 million from tolls to the state
to support projects for the
10 counties affected by the
Turnpike, Miller said.

Ohio Valley Christian sophomore Madeline Young (11) finds a hole in the TVC defense in a

Lady Raiders
surge past Gallia
Academy, 40-32
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

CENTENARY, Ohio — A hot start resulted in a
good start for the Lady Raiders.
Visiting River Valley hit four 3-pointers as part of
a 16-9 ﬁrst quarter surge and ultimately cruised to
a 40-32 victory over the Gallia Academy girls basketball team on Friday night in the non-conference
season opener for both Gallia County programs.
The Lady Raiders (1-0) received a pair of trifectas and eight points from senior Lauren Twyman
in the opening frame, helping the guests establish
an early 7-point edge through eight minutes of
play.
Twyman added another seven points in the second canto as RVHS made a 15-8 run that increased
the lead out to 31-17 at the break.
Brooklin Clonch accounted for the lone River
Valley basket with a third quarter trifecta, as the
Blue Angels (0-1) received six points from Kenya
Peck as part of an 8-4 run that trimmed the deﬁcit
down to 35-25 entering the ﬁnale.
The hosts did not make a single ﬁeld goal in
the fourth and still outscored River Valley by a
7-5 margin, with Peck adding ﬁve of those points
down the stretch. Twyman also scored all ﬁve
Lady Raider points in the fourth frame to complete
the 8-point outcome.
River Valley made 10 total ﬁeld goals — eight of
which were 3-pointers — and also went 12-of-19 at
the free throw line for 63 percent.
Twyman led the guests with a game-high 20
points, followed by Clonch with nine points and
Kallie Burger with four markers. Morrisa Barcus
was next with four points, while Haylee Eblin and
Carlee Manley completed the winning tally with
two points each.
GAHS mustered eight ﬁeld goals — including
one trifecta — and also went 15-of-33 at the charity stripe for 45 percent.
Peck paced the hosts with 14 points, followed by
Chanee Cremeens with eight points and Preslee
Reed with ﬁve points. Regan Wilcoxon was next
with three markers, while Emma Hammons and
Callie Wilson added a point each in the setback.
River Valley opens its home schedule Tuesday
with a non-conference contest against Portsmouth
at 6 p.m.
The Blue Angels travel to Ironton Saint Joseph
on Tuesday for a non-conference affair at 6 p.m.

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio —
The Ohio Valley Christian
boys and girls basketball
teams went 0-2 in a doubleheader against their counterparts from Teays Valley
Christian at home Friday
evening.
First, the Lady Defenders
(0-1) fell 65-18 to the Lady
Lions (2-0).
The visitors from Teays
Valley Christian started
game one of the doubleheader with a 5-0 lead
before the Lady Defenders
were able to respond.
Although the home team
struggled to put points on

the board, the defense held
up through much of the ﬁrst
quarter.
However, the Lady Lions
went on another scoring
run to head into the second
quarter up 14-4.
The offensive struggles
the home team faced in the
ﬁrst quarter continued to
plague them in the following quarters, with the Lady
Defenders unable to put
up more than 10 points a
quarter.
The Lady Defenders faced
issues communicating in
Friday’s game, committing
many turnovers which TVC
capitalized on.
In scoring, the Lady
Defenders were led by Mad-

eline Young, who scored
three ﬁeld goals and two
free throws for a total of
eight points.
Following Young,
Madison Beaver and Lalla
Hurlow had four points
each and Elisabeth Young
had one ﬁeld goal for two
points.
On the other side of the
court, the Lady Lions were
led by Matalee Barnett, who
had 10 ﬁeld goals, three
three-pointers and two free
throws to rack up a total of
31 points.
In rebounds, Ohio Valley
Christian was led by Lalla
Hurlow with eight, and

halftime advantage with
21 straight points in
third canto Saturday en
route to a 49-28 victory
over host Charlotte in
a Conference USA East
Division matchup at Jerry
Richardson Stadium.
The Thundering Herd
(7-4, 5-2 CUSA East)
found itself in a quick 7-0
hole after the opening
drive of the game, but the
guests answered with six
of the next seven touchdowns — half of which
came in that pivotal third
stanza — while building a comfortable 42-14
cushion headed into the
ﬁnale.
The 49ers (5-6, 3-4)
eventually ended Marshall’s 28 consecutive
points string at the 11:37
mark of the fourth as
Cameron Dollar hauled in
a 4-yard pass from Chris
Reynolds for a 42-21
deﬁcit.
Sheldon Evans pushed
the MU lead back out
to 28 points with a
25-yard scamper with
8:36 remaining. ChaVon
McEachern completed
the scoring by grabbing a 5-yard TD pass
from James Foster with
4:33 left to wrap up the
21-point outcome.
The victory sets up a
winner-take-all showdown
with Western Kentucky
(7-4, 6-1) on Saturday as
the Hilltoppers come to
Joan C. Edwards Stadium
for the regular season
ﬁnale. The winner of that
game earns the East Division spot in the Conference USA championship
game on Friday, Dec. 3.
The Herd churned out
588 yards of total offense,
their highest output
against any Conference
USA opponent this fall
and third highest total
overall this year. The
guests also forced the
only two turnovers of
the game and also scored
seven points off of those
two takeaways.

scoring pass with 8:42
left in the ﬁrst quarter,
giving the hosts a quick
7-0 edge.
MU countered with the
ﬁrst of three Rasheen Ali
touchdown runs at the
5:14 mark after a 25-yard
scamper tied things up at
7-all.
Ali added his second
TD run — this time from
ﬁve yards out — with
12:12 left in the ﬁrst half
for Marshall’s ﬁrst lead of

Lady Rebels roll past South Point, 49-39
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

SOUTH POINT, Ohio — An
impressive start to the season.
The South Gallia girls basketball team used a 27-13 surge
in the middle quarters to build
a 14-point lead and ultimately
held on Friday night during a
49-39 non-conference victory
over host South Point in the

season opener for both programs in Lawrence County.
The Lady Rebels (1-0) found
themselves deadlocked at seven
through eight minutes of play,
but the guests countered with
that pivotal 19-10 second quarter push while building a 26-17
halftime advantage.
The Lady Pointers (0-1)
were never closer as SGHS
recived a trifecta apiece from

Emma Clary and Macie Sanders as part of an 8-3 run that
increased the lead out to 34-20.
SPHS closed regulation with
a 19-15 run to complete the
10-point outcome.
The Lady Rebels made 18
total ﬁeld goals — including
eight trifectas — and also went
5-of-9 at the free throw line for
56 percent.
Clary led the guests with a

game-high 15 points, followed
by Sanders with 12 points and
Jessie Rutt with 11 markers.
Tori Triplett was next with six
points and Lindsey Wells added
three points, while Ryleigh
Halley completed the winning
mark with two points.
Sarah Mitchell paced South
Point with 15 points and
Camille Hall chipped in 10
markers. Karmen Bruton and

Liz Ermalovich respectively
chipped in four and two markers as well.
South Gallia opens its home
schedule on Monday when it

Chargers hold off Steelers Bengals halt

skid with win
over Raiders

By Joe Reedy
AP Sports Writer

By Mitch Stacy

CINCINNATI —
The Cincinnati Bengals
lost the ﬁrst game after
the bye week in each of
the past ﬁve seasons.
That provided a little
extra motivation for
Sunday’s game against
the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Bengals (6-4) did
enough things right and
wore down the slumping Raiders (5-5) in the
second half for a 32-13
win that snapped a twogame skid and jumpstarted their conﬁdence
heading into a rigorous
seven-game stretch run.
Also worth noting
is that the sixth win
equaled the combined
total in coach Zac Taylor’s ﬁrst two seasons in
Cincinnati.
“We just stayed the
course,” said defensive
end Sam Hubbard,
who had a sack and
recovered Derek Carr’s
fumble. “We’re making
progress day by day,
game by game.”
Knowing they would
have to run the ball
against the Raiders’
strong pass defense, the
Bengals gave the ball to
Joe Mixon 30 times. He
and the offensive line
eventually wore down
Las Vegas, with Mixon
picking up 97 of his
123 yards in the second
half. He ran for two
touchdowns.
Quarterback Joe Burrow struggled more
than usual, completing
20 of 29 pass attempts
for 148 yards. His best
throw of the day was a
6-yard beauty to rookie
wideout Ja’Marr Chase
in the back left corner
of the end zone that
opened up a 22-13 lead
for Cincinnati with
ﬁve minutes left in the
game.
Chase, an Offensive
Rookie of the Year candidate, leads all ﬁrstyear players with eight
TD catches.
Rookie Evan McPherson became the 13th
player in NFL history
to kick three ﬁeld goals
of at least 50 yards in
a game, including a
season-long 54-yarder
to tie the score at 3 in
the ﬁrst quarter. His
four ﬁeld goals were
the most in a game this

for 101 yards. “But it’s
football. Stuff is going
to happen, and we didn’t
respond like we were supposed to.”
Ben Roethlisberger
passed for 273 yards and
three touchdowns for
Pittsburgh after missing last week’s game
against Detroit because
he tested positive for
COVID-19. Najee Harris
was held to 39 yards and
a TD.
Roethlisberger
described the challenges
he had in trying to prepare over the past week.
“It is tough not getting
practice perspectives, not
watching practice from
behind,” he said. “It’s different watching it on ﬁlm
at night. It’s deﬁnitely a
different process, but we
got through it.”

didn’t help. So when the
ﬁnal seconds ticked off
in a 13-10 win that felt
more like a loss, Mayﬁeld
didn’t feel like celebrating.
“I feel like I let my
teammates down,” he
said.
With a day to process

what went wrong and
get a grip on his emotions, Mayﬁeld said
frustration with his own
performance — not any
booing or a litany of
injuries — caused him
to head straight to the
locker room following the
game and not speak to

the media.
Mayﬁeld threw two
interceptions against
the Lions in a sloppy,
penalty-ﬁlled affair for the
Browns (6-5), who held
on for dear life and kept
their playoff hopes intact
as they head into a critical three-week stretch.

OVCS

What’s working
The defense limited the Raiders to 278
yards, the second time
the Bengals held an
opponent to fewer than
300 yards in a game.
It was the third-lowest
total for Las Vegas
this season. Carr was
sacked twice, and Cincinnati cornerback Eli
Apple intercepted him
in the fourth quarter.
Two plays after Apple’s
pick, Mixon broke for a
20-yard TD that put the
game out of reach. The
Raiders were just 1 for
7 on third down.
What needs help
Burrow wasn’t
sharp. His 148 passing
yards were a career
low. He forced throws,
fumbled on Cincinnati’s ﬁrst possession
of the game and was
bashed around by the
Raiders’ pass rushers.
He was sacked three
times. The fourthquarter scoring pass to
Chase was his ﬁrst TD
toss in eight quarters.
After a sack near the
end of the ﬁrst half,
he limped off the ﬁeld
favoring his surgically
repaired left knee, but
apparently is OK.
“Every game is going
to be played with a
different style,” Taylor
said. “We knew this
was a game we were
going to have to run
the football. (Burrow)
just wants to win, and
he doesn’t care what it
looks like.”
Key number
1 — Number of Bengals’ penalties against
the Raiders.
Next steps
The Bengals put
themselves right back
in the AFC North race.
Five of their last seven
games are at home,
and they play all three
AFC North rivals again,
starting with the Steelers at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday.
“I’m really proud of
them to go out after a
bye, get a big road win
and come back and get
ready for a big-time
divisional game at our
house,” Taylor said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif.
— Justin Herbert and
the Los Angeles Chargers
had the uncanny knack
of blowing double-digit
leads and losing in the
last minute.
Not anymore.
Herbert threw a
53-yard touchdown pass
to Mike Williams with
2:17 remaining as the
Chargers rallied to hold
off the Pittsburgh Steelers
41-37 despite blowing a
17-point lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Five of the Chargers’
six wins this season
have been fourth-quarter
comebacks. Last season,
they lost ﬁve times when
leading in the fourth.
“We had our best stuff
at the end,” ﬁrst-year
coach Brandon Staley
said. “I feel like we’ve
shown real stuff through
10 games. I’m really
proud of this group. This
game was one of my
favorites, for sure.”
Herbert is the ﬁfth
quarterback in NFL history to throw for at least
300 yards passing and
have at least 90 yards
rushing in the same
game. He passed for 382
yards and rushed for 90,
the most by a Chargers
QB in a game.
“We did a great job
moving the ball and
answering back when we
needed to,” said Herbert,
who completed 30 of 41
passes. “It got a little too

Police: Parade-crash suspect

outstanding cases against
him at the time of the
parade disaster — including one in which he was
accused of deliberately
running down a woman
with his vehicle.
A joyous scene of
marching bands and
children dancing in
Santa hats and waving
pompoms gave way in
an instant Sunday to
screams and the sight of
crumpled bodies as the
SUV sped through barricades and struck dancers,
musicians and others in
the community of 72,000
people.
Members of a “Danc-

ing Grannies” club were
among those killed, as
was a bank employee.
The police chief identiﬁed the dead as four
women ages 52 to 79 and
an 81-year-old man.
Mayor Shawn Reilly
described the event as a
“Norman Rockwell-type
of Christmas parade” that
“became a nightmare.”
“It looked like dummies
being thrown in the air,”
said Nicole Schneiter,
who was there with her
children and grandchildren. “It took a second to
register, like, ‘Is that what
we really just saw?’ And
then you looked in the
road and there were just
people laying in road.”
