Supporting Small Business Saturday Shopping local at Christmas Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — The Saturday following Thanksgiving has become one of the most important shopping days of the year, particularly in small towns such as those in our region. Small Business Saturday launched 12 years ago by American Express to encourage people to support small businesses and “Shop Local.” Sandwiched between the traditional shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Small Business Saturday is a favorite among local shops and shoppers, as well as being an important part of the local economy. Shoppers will ﬁnd a variety of one-of-a-kind items not on cargo ships, but at hometown merchants this year and any year. “Let’s all do our part on Saturday, November 27th, during ‘Small Business Saturday,’ and support our local merchants regardless where they are located throughout our historic city,” Point Pleas- Lorna Hart | OVP These ladies do some window shopping this holiday season in Pomeroy, Ohio as merchants prepare for Small Business Saturday and Sunday’s Open House. ant Mayor Brian Billings said. “These local store owners are supportive of helping our city, schools, churches and organizations when called upon. Over the past couple of years as you know it has been tough on many of these great business leaders and they have remained opened. What would we do without them! These businesses play a vital role in helping to bring visitors to our area. You and I can continue to support our local businesses and make this Saturday, November 27th, the best ‘Small Business Saturday’ ever. Show your Point Pleasant pride and shop local.” It’s estimated in downtown Point Pleasant alone, six new businesses have opened this year. Many are planning Small Business Saturday sales and events. It’s also a busy weekend in Pomeroy, Ohio as well with not only Small Business Saturday but an Open House event held by merchants on Sunday, the same day as the Pomeroy Christmas Parade in the heart of downtown. The parade will kick-off at 2 p.m. Sunday from the Pomeroy ball ﬁelds and continue through Main Street. Lineup begins at 1 p.m. Merchants in the village will be open from noon-4 p.m. this Sunday, and encourage shoppers to visit them before and after the parade. They would also like to remind everyone on Small Business Saturday, merchants will honor their individual hours, and many will have their own specials and door prize drawings.

Some states, cities still debating hazard pay By Susan Haigh Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. — When the U.S. government allowed socalled hero pay for frontline workers as a possible use of pandemic relief money, it suggested occupations that could be eligible from farm workers and childcare staff to janitors and truck drivers. State and local governments have struggled to determine who among the many workers who braved the raging coronavirus pandemic before vaccines became available should qualify: Only government workers, or private employees, too? Should it go to a small pool of essential workers like nurses or be spread around to others, including grocery store workers? “It’s a bad position for us to be in because you have your local government trying to pick winners and losers, if you would, or recipients and nonrecipients. And hence by default, you’re saying importance versus not important,” said Jason Levesque, the Republican mayor of Auburn, Maine, where ofﬁcials have not yet decided who will receive hazard pay from the city’s American Rescue Plan funds. A year and a half into the pandemic, such decisions have taken on political implications for some leaders as unions lobby for expanded eligibility, with workers who end up being left out feeling embittered. “It sounds like it’s about the money, but this is a token of appreciation,” said Ginny Ligi, a correctional ofﬁcer who contracted COVID-19 last year in Connecticut, where the bonus checks have yet to cut amid negotiations with unions. “It’s so hard to put into words the actual feeling of what it was like to walk into that place every day, day in, day out. It scarred us. It really did.” Interim federal rules published six months ago allow state and local COVID-19 recovery funds Jessica Hill | AP file Clarissa Johnson of Hartford marches with long-term care members of the New England Health Care Employees Union during a rally to demand new laws to protect long-term caregivers and consumers in July 2020 at the State Capitol in Hartford, Conn. Connecticut essential state employees, who worked long hours during the COVID-19 pandemic, are still waiting for “hero pay” from $22.5 million in federal pandemic funds set aside in the state budget. to be spent on premium pay for essential workers of up to $13 per hour, in addition to their regular wages. The amount cannot exceed $25,000 per employee. The rules also allow grants to be provided to third-party employers with eligible workers, who are deﬁned as someone who has had “regular in-person interactions or regular physical handling of items that were also handled by others” or a heightened risk of exposure to COVID-19. The rules encourage state and local governments to “prioritize providing retrospective premium pay where possible, recognizing that many essential workers have not yet received additional compensation for work conducted over the course of many months,” while also prioritizing lower income eligible workers. As of July, about a third of U.S. states had used federal COVID-19 relief aid to reward workers considered essential with bonuses, although who qualiﬁed and how much they received varied widely, according to an Associated Press review. A list of hazard and premium pay state allocations as of Nov. 18, provided by the National Conference of State Legislatures, shows funds have typically been set aside for government workers, such as state troopers and correctional ofﬁcers. In Minnesota, lawmakers still have $250 million in aid set aside for hero pay, but they’ve been been struggling with how to distribute it. A special committee was unable to come up with a compromise plan, instead sending two competing recommendations to the full legislature for consideration. “I think every time we take another week, we’re just delaying the whole process and I think the fastest way is to get them over to the Legislature,” said Republican state Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer, a member of the committee, during a meeting last month. Minnesota Senate Republicans want to offer a tax-free bonus of $1,200 to about 200,000 workers who they say took on the greatest risk, such as nurses, long-term care workers, prison staff and ﬁrst responders. Stephen B. Morton | AP, pool Ahmaud Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones his hugged by a supporter after the jury convicted Travis McMichael in the trial of McMichael, his father, Greg McMichael, and neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan, on Wednesday in the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, Ga. The three defendants were found guilty in the death of Ahmaud Arbery. Ahmaud Arbery’s mom: Thankful for justice and son’s legacy By Rodrique Ngowi and Jeffrey Collins Associated Press BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Ahmaud Arbery’s mother woke up Thursday with a new, very important blessing on Thanksgiving Day. But there will still be an empty chair at the family’s celebrations. It is a reminder that while she feels justice was served when the three white men who helped shoot her son were convicted Wednesday for cornering and killing him as he ran through a coastal Georgia neighborhood, she will never be made whole again because her son is gone. “This is the second Thanksgiving we’ve had without Ahmaud. But at the same time I’m thankful. This is the ﬁrst Thanksgiving we are saying we got justice for Ahmaud,” Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, told The Associated Press in an interview Thursday. The three white men who chased and killed Arbery in Brunswick in February 2020 were all convicted of murder Wednesday. They cornered Arbery after ﬁnding out he had been seen on a surveillance camera at a nearby house under construction and wanted to question him about recent burglaries in the area. Arbery ran through the neighborhood and other areas near his home to clear his head. He had nothing in his hands and ran from the men for ﬁve minutes before one of them shot three times at him at close range with a shotgun. The men face life in prison when they are sentenced later and a federal hate crimes trial for them is scheduled for February. Cooper-Jones said after the verdicts were read Wednesday, she thought of her son’s supporters at the Glynn County courthouse every day who shouted “Justice for Ahmaud!” “I ﬁnally got a chance to come out of those courtroom doors and say, we did it, we did it together,” Cooper-Jones said. Sitting beside Cooper-Jones as she heard the judge read out guilty 23 times was the mother of Ronald Greene, a Louisiana man who died in 2019 after he was beaten and put in a chokehold by state troopers after a high speed chase. Troopers said Greene suffered his injuries in a crash, but his doctors reported that didn’t appear to be true. A federal civil rights investigation into Greene’s death continues. In the days after her son was killed. CooperJones got a call from the mother of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black teen killed by a man who successfully claimed self-defense during his murder trial after confronting Martin as he walked in his gated community. Martin was visiting relatives. She also spoke with the mother of Breonna Taylor. Taylor was killed by Louisville, Kentucky, police who burst into her home without knocking while serving a warrant during a drug operation. Taylor’s boyfriend ﬁred on the group. The ofﬁcers were not charged in her death. Other mothers who have lost sons and daughters to racial violence or in police shootings also reached out. Cooper-Jones calls them a sorority. “We come together. We share our experience and we grow together,” she said. Cooper-Jones spent the past six weeks away from home, since jury selection started Oct. 18. She moved away from Brunswick after her son was killed. So she plans a quiet Thanksgiving away from home today.

The Bible also tells us that we should always give thanks to God, in Christ (cf. Colossians 3:17). As we reﬂect on all the many reasons to be thankful, frequently the mind drifts to the many material blessings that we have been given: food, shelter, clothes, and sundry toys and tools with which we entertain ourselves and go about our daily business. It is entirely appropriate to be thankful for such things, but one might wonder, if we were to lose some or all of these material things, would we still be thankful? Or would we feel hard done by? One put to just such a test was the man Job, who had been abundantly blessed with a great deal of wealth. Job was a righteous man, but it was suggested by the great accuser of men, Satan, that if God were to simply allow him to remove the various blessings that Job had been given, Job would cease to worship God as he had done in the past (cf. Job 1:9-12). Subsequently Job lost all his many material blessings, including his grown children. Faced with such devastating loss, Job did not lose His faith, instead uttering the truth, “the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21).” Some might try to console themselves with the thought that certainly God would never allow them to lose their various possessions and thus they will never face such a test, but loss, in various forms comes to all. Whether by ﬁre, ﬂood, mishap, or disease - the prized treasures of this life can all too readily be taken away from us. could be thankful It’s one thing to and cheerful, but be thankful when the thought of lostimes are good, can ing his material we do the same wealth made him when we face tragfar less than thankedy, loss, and sorful.

The man went away sorrowful (cf. raised, there are some who ﬁnd the whole idea Matthew 19:21-22). He strange. We are so conditioned to focusing on being thankful for what we have, that the idea of voluntarily going without seems contrary to a good attitude. But maybe that is part of the point of fasting: giving up material blessings so as to help us focus on the blessings which last, the spiritual blessings found in Christ Jesus; blessings which are described, not as being earthly, but heavenly (cf. Ephesians 1:3). The things Christians should be most thankful for are spiritual in nature. In Christ, there is a relationship with God, hope of eternal life, and the everlasting fellowship of the saints. If we are in Christ, being found in Him, sharing in His love and His resurrection, there is nothing which can take those blessings away from us (cf. Romans 8:3139). If our home were to burn, taking all our food and clothes with it, if our family were to perish from the earth, if we were to lose all our wealth and possessions to the fortunes of happenstance, if we are in Christ we still have cause to be thankful – eternally thankful even. So it is proper to be thankful for the material blessings that we have, but it is useful for the disciples of Christ to occasionally take stock of themselves and ask concerning each item: can I be thankful without that? And if we hesitate, making of any one earthly thing an idol hard to give up, we should hear the voice of Christ telling us, “go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

Families struggle with how to hold 2nd pandemic Thanksgiving If you check the calendar, there are only a few weeks until Christmas! Are you ready for Christmas? That is a question we hear quite often these days, isn’t it? What do people mean when they ask if you are ready for Christmas? Well, they usually mean things like: Do you have all your shopping done? Have you ﬁnished wrapping all your gifts? Have you put up your Christmas tree and all the decorations? Have you sent your Christmas cards? Have you ﬁnished baking all the Christmas goodies? God’s Kids Is your house clean and ready for visitors? Korner Are you ready for Christmas? What things Ann do you need to do before you will be ready? Moody There is another question that is much more important than “Are you ready for Christmas?” That question is, “Are you ready for Christ?” In Luke 3:4-6, we hear the voice of John the Baptizer crying out to the people, “Prepare the way for the Lord. Fill in the valleys and level off all the mountains. Make the crooked roads straight and the rough places smooth.” Did John the Baptizer really want the people to work on the roads? No, what John wanted was for the people to get ready for the coming of the Messiah. What he really meant was that the people needed to get their hearts right and return to God. You see, no matter how good people may think they are, there are always some crooked ways and rough places in their lives. There are things such as dishonesty, selﬁshness, pride, jealousy, and many more. John wanted the people to make those crooked ways straight and rough places smooth, so that Jesus could come and walk among them. During this special season of the year, you and I need to make sure that we are ready for the coming of the Christ of Christmas. We need to look into our hearts and ask God to make our crooked ways straight and smooth out the rough places, so that we can walk with Jesus each day of our lives. Let’s ask him to do that right now. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Father, we want to be ready. Make our crooked ways straight and our rough places smooth. Let us remember the real reason we have Christmas. In Your name we pray, Amen.

By Bobby Caina Calvan and Thomas Peipert Back in the spring, Pauline Criel and her cousins talked about reuniting for Thanksgiving at her home near Detroit after many painful months of seclusion because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the virus had a different plan. Michigan is now the nation’s hot spot. Hospitals there are teeming with patients, and schools are scaling back in-person learning. A resurgent virus has pushed new infections in the U.S. to 95,000 daily, hospitals in Minnesota, Colorado and Arizona are also under pressure, and health ofﬁcials are pleading with unvaccinated people not to travel. Criel’s big family feast was put on hold. She is roasting a turkey and whipping together a pistachio ﬂuff salad — an annual tradition — but only for her, her husband and two grown boys. “I’m going to wear my stretchy pants and eat too much — and no one’s going to care,” she said. Her story reﬂects the Thanksgiving dilemma that families across America are facing as the gatherings become burdened with the same political and coronavirus debates consuming other arenas. As they gather for turkey, stufﬁng, mashed potatoes and pie, they are confronted with a list of questions: Can they once again hold big get-togethers? Thomas Peipert | AP Jocelyn Ragusin hugs her mother, who arrived at Denver International Airport from Rapid City, South Dakota, on Tuesday. Ragusin said about seven or eight family members would be gathering for the holiday and that the group had not discussed each other’s vaccination status beforehand. Ragusin’s husband contracted COVID-19 and spent four days in the intensive care unit in October 2020, but the family is willing to accept a certain level of risk to have a sense of community back. Can they gather at all? Should they invite unvaccinated family members? Should they demand a negative test before a guest is allowed at the dinner table or a spot on the sofa for an afternoon of football? “I know that it might be overkill that we’re not sharing Thanksgiving here with my cousins, but better be safe than sorry, right?” said Criel, a 58-year-old data administrator for a ﬁnance company. Jocelyn Ragusin, an accountant from Littleton, Colorado, is taking a different approach by prioritizing family time over COVID-19 concerns even as rising case counts and overwhelmed hospitals triggered new mask mandates in the Denver area this week. Ragusin, whose husband contracted the virus and spent four days in the intensive care unit in October 2020, said she is willing to accept a certain level of risk to have a sense of community back. She said about seven or eight family members would be gathering for the holiday and that the group had not discussed one another’s vaccination status beforehand, in part because they “kind of know” already who got the shots and who has had the virus already. “Getting together is worth it. And getting together and sharing meals, and sharing life,” Ragusin said while picking up her mother at the airport in Denver. “We’re just not made to live in isolation.” For a rich experience in life, be thankful to God There is no doubt that you, everyone else, and I are well blessed by God. This fact is a given. But, the rub is, do you feel well blessed by God? If you do not feel well blessed by God, it is probably because you have never been thankful for the evident ways in which He has blessed you. I have known people like that. Such people do not seem to have a rich experience in life. Nonetheless, it has been both my experience and observation that God blesses best those who are most thankful. We need to remember that being thankful cannot be based merely on quantity, but on quality, for, when God blesses, He blesses with such that is good. If you are looking solely for quantity of blessing before you become thankful, your thanksgivings will have no quality. Conversely, when you carefully measure the goodness of God’s blessings, you cannot help but to observe that He has blessed you abundantly. I particularly note this point from a time when our family was having a certain crisis which took Mom out of the home, and cooking chores were my responsibility. My boys have never liked my cooking. It was during this time that Sandra Cokeley brought us a big pot of creamed lima beans. The boys hit that pot like a blight! My feelings were genuinely hurt, for how many kids will eat creamed lima beans without being threatened? But, they clearly saw that since that day, the extreme value neither of our sons of the blessing have eaten a single presented to them. lima bean! Jeshua prayed with In contrast, it is passionate thanksgood ethically to giving at meal time give God thanks, for the quality because God of the blessing, Pastor deserves it.

But, the qualmerciful…” ity of the blessing from It is good practically to the Lord was recognized give God thanks, because by each of them in that moment. It is noteworthy it helps us to maintain proper perspective. The Psalmist pointed out that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills. As He disperses His blessings on mankind, it is clear that some are given (so to speak) more cattle than others. However, if we truly appreciate our speciﬁc blessing, God somehow gives us the perspective that we are blessed above all others. We do not have to be jealous of what others have. Class envy is relegated to a non-issue, a non-concern. As said another psalmist, “A brutish man does not know this. Neither, does a fool understand this.” It is good emotionally to be thankful to God, because it lifts the heart. This is particularly effective when it is remembered that thanksgiving is not only given for how He has provided, but also for how God is going to provide. You may be concerned about how certain things will be taken care. You may be unsure about days ahead. But, it is good to thank God for what you might expect Him to do. I learned a long time ago that it is uplifting to give thanks today for tomorrow, for it ﬁlls one with faith and encouragement. “Bless the Lord, O my soul. And all that is within me, bless His Holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His beneﬁts.” Blessing God richly, o most certainly, makes for an enriched life.

The Gallia Academy girls basketball team limited host Ironton Saint Joseph to just four points in the middle quarters while cruising to a 47-22 victory Tuesday night in a nonconference matchup in Lawrence County. The Blue Angels (1-1) picked up their ﬁrst victory of the 2021-22 campaign, as well as the ﬁrst varsity win for new head coach Kole Carter. Perhaps more importantly, it was the way that the guests went about notching that ﬁrst triumph. GAHS had seven different players reach the scoring column and also limited Bella Whaley — the Lady Flyers’ leading scorer from a year ago — without a ﬁeld goal en route to a pedestrian-like 5-point performance. The Blue Angels led 13-9 after one period of play, but followed with runs of 9-2 and 15-2 over the next two frames — allowing the Blue and White to secure leads of 22-11 at the break and 37-13 headed into the ﬁnale. Gallia Academy also ended regulation with a 10-9 spurt to wrap up the 25-point victory. GAHS made 19 total ﬁeld goals — including a pair of trifectas — and also went 7-of13 at the free throw line for 54 percent. Asia Grifﬁn led the guests with a gamehigh 12 points, followed by Chanee Cremeens with 10 points and Regan Wilcoxon with eight markers. Kenya Peck was next with seven points and Emma Hammons chipped in six points. Preslee Reed and Gretta Patterson completed the winning tally with two points each. Liken Unger pace ISJHS with six points and Whaley followed with ﬁve points. Gracie Damron and Addie Philabaum were next with four markers apiece. The Lady Flyers (0-1) made just seven ﬁeld goals — all 2-pointers — and also went 8-of12 at the free throw line for 67 percent.

The Bearcats (11-0, 7-0 American Athletic Conference; CFP No. 4) are looking for a repeat performance of last weekend’s events when they play at East Carolina on Friday. Cincinnati, ranked outside the CFP’s ﬁnal four, topped SMU 48-14 and watched Oregon fall at Utah. The Ducks were ranked third in the CFP and their loss cleared the way for Cincinnati move into the playoff ﬁeld at No. 4 in the committee’s latest Top 25. “We keep trying to stress to our guys we’ve got a long way to go,” Bearcats coach Luke Fickell said after the latest Chris O’Meara | AP Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell talks to head linesman Baron Ballester during the second half against South Florida Nov. 12 in Tampa, Fla. rankings. “We’ve got two really big games ahead of us. But I think all and all, the excitement about it and the recognition is well deserved to a group of guys that have really fought and battled all year.” Cincinnati looks to ﬁnish off its secondever 12-0 regular season against the Pirates (7-4, 5-2). Beside staying undefeated, the Bearcats would move a step closer to becoming the ﬁrst-ever team outside the Power Five to play for a national title. And things look like they’re trending Cincinnati’s way. Teams ahead of them in the CFP rankings — No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Alabama — have tough games ahead. Fickell wants his Bearcats to focus only on what they can control: ﬁnish strong at East Carolina. the Pirates are riding a four-game win streak and are pumped to host a team ranked in the top 5 for the ﬁrst time since 2006. Pirates coach Mike Houston understands his club will have to slow down the AAC’s highest-scoring offense and a Heisman Trophy contender in quarterback Desmond Ridder. “It’s going to be a challenge, but our kids are excited about it,” Houston said. Ridder has passed for 829 yards and 10 touchdowns against no interceptions the past four games. He’s thrown for nearly that much in three wins the Pirates with 823 yards and eight TDs. Ridder believes his team will drown out the playoff noise to concentrate on East Carolina. “Keeping everyone focused, locked in on the game and locked in on what we need to do,” he said. “I think that’s what can make us be successful there.” Santos made his second ﬁeld goal right before halftime to give the visitors a 13-7 lead.

New transfer rule leads to fast turnarounds for hoops teams By Arnie Stapleton AP Sports Writer BOULDER, Colo. — When Richard Pitino took over the downtrodden University of New Mexico men’s basketball program last March at the start of the pandemic, he couldn’t hit the recruiting trail to improve a team rich in tradition and light on recent success. His timing, however, couldn’t have been better. Less than a month after he took the Lobos job, the NCAA approved a plan allowing all college athletes to transfer one time as an undergraduate without having to sit out a season. “We won six games last year, so we needed to make major changes,” Pitino said after a hard-fought 87-76 loss at Colorado this month. “With COVID, we still weren’t able to go on the road recruiting when I ﬁrst took the job. So, your only real option was the transfer portal.” The one-time exception for athletes to transfer from one Division I school to another had been available to athletes in other college sports for years, but the change in the spring meant it now applied to football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s ice hockey and baseball. “I think college basketball, speciﬁcally, seismically shifted when they changed the sit-out rule,” Pitino said. “We had a lot of guys transfer and they didn’t have to sit out a year.” Pitino was one of a handful of coaches who took advantage of the loosened transfer rule by signing several talented transfers who were eligible to compete immediately. Among his nine newcomers this season are four Division I transfers, two junior college transfers, two freshmen and a walk-on. Boost line of eight 3-pointers, 12 ﬁeld goals and six made free throws.
