Beginning in December 2013, the two agencies have worked together to utilize funding from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and and the employee,” Clark said. “She searches out open positions and she talks to employers on a regular basis and finds out what their job openings are, (and) what skill sets they’re looking for. Then she meets with individuals that are job searching, and she does more of what you’d call ‘job matching.’ If a business has a specific opening — she just doesn’t send them anyone that’s looking for a job — she really tries to match them up so that it’s going to be a good fit.” The goal of the program is to boost the county’s economy and simply help individuals, she said. Clark also said establishing good relationships with businesses and employers is another goal of the program that helps to keep it growing. “We want companies to continue to come back to us and work together and build a good relationship,” she said. Some of the companies that have utilized the program’s services include: Bellisio Foods, Asplundh Tree Expert, Wildfire Pipeline Contractors, Murray Transportation, Wrights Tree Service and Hampton Inn. Clark said partnering with Job and Family Services has been key in the county’s efforts to boost the economy. “We’ve worked cooperatively with JFS on several different programs. Most recently we did the NEG (National Emergency Grants) program. That program went on for about two and a half years and pumped millions of dollars into the county. So, we have a history with working together on work programs (and) trying to provide individuals with job skills, work skills and job opportunities,” she said. Interested businesses or job seekers can contact Ann Jones, job developer, at (740) 446-4612 ext. 239 or ajones@gallianet.net for assistance or more information about the Job Development Program.

With the proliferation of cable news, Internet and social media, people can get their news in real time — any time. The result is the irrelevancy of outlets that operate at the comparatively glacial pace of print. That’s the conventional wisdom, anyway. We may be entering a bold new era in media, but, based on what Americans are telling pollsters, it’s hardly a golden age. Survey results released this month by Gallup showed that only 40 percent of Americans trust the media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly.” That number is tied for an all-time low. We can’t say that we disagree with the public’s skepticism. All too often, the mainstream media seems interested only in the facts that fit a pre-existing narrative. To be sure, there’s a place for advocacy in journalism — but it’s on opinion pages, like these, not in straight news reporting. The problems go beyond ideological bias, however. One of the casualties of our rightthis-minute news culture is a tendency to play fast and loose with the facts. Because the dominant incentive in modern media is to have a story first, the result is often that reporters get the story wrong. Look at any complicated story from recent years — Trayvon Martin, the Boston Marathon bombing, the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370, the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. — and you’ll find almost comically inept reporting, all done with the goal of beating other outlets — newspapers and television — to a scoop. In this environment, we believe that print media can actually serve a uniquely corrective role. Unlike the talking heads on cable news, we don’t have to fill every moment of the day with content, regardless of whether there’s anything meaningful to say. And, unlike Internet pundits and Twitter grandees, we don’t face the pressure to analyze events in real time, even when the relevant facts remain murky. Most Americans understand that they make better decisions when they engage in thoughtful deliberation rather than acting on their first impulse. They ought to recognize that a similar dynamic is at work in the media. Print outlets are uniquely able to take a longer view than other media. They can vet the facts more thoroughly, attempt to fit them into a broader context, and — most importantly — take the time to actually engage in a little reflection. There’s no doubt that the speed at which we can now access information represents an improvement for society. We must be vigilant, however, to ensure that depth and perspective aren’t sacrificed as a result. If print journalism embraces that mandate, it’s likely to survive far into the future.

Their view A little boy who needed softball By Daris Howard My son was born with some health challenges and needed physical activity to help him walk better. So when he was in kindergarten and asked to play softball, I immediately took him to the community center so I could pay the $10 fee and sign him up. The lady there remembered me from my time coaching little girls’ basketball and asked me if I wanted to coach my son’s softball team. I told her I really didn’t have time. But a few days later she called and said they couldn’t get anyone else, and if I didn’t coach it, they would have to cancel the team. I knew how much he wanted and needed to play, so I decided I needed to make the time. I set up a practice schedule, and at our first practice I notice a small boy sitting across the field watching us. He was there at the next practice, too. When I went to visit with him, he scampered away. At the third practice I could see him there again. I asked the children on the team if anyone knew him. A boy named David raised his hand. “His name is Timmy.” “Can you tell me about him?” I asked. David shook his head. “He is home-schooled and doesn’t play with other kids.” “Would you see if he would like to play?” I asked. David said he would. He walked toward Timmy, and when Timmy started to run away, David called after him. Timmy stopped, and after they visited a moment, both boys came walking over. I had my team start warming up, and I sat down to visit with Timmy. “Would you like to be on our team?” I asked. I could see by the look in his eyes that he did. But he just shrugged. “Can’t. My dad said we can’t afford the fee.” “You’re in luck,” I said. “Today the fee is taken care of.” He grinned with excitement. “Really?” “Really,” I replied. “Practice with us today, and we’ll see about getting your parents to sign the form when we’re activity was good for him. “I think it might help Timmy, too,” I said. “And I would take good care of him.” Timmy’s dad shook his head. “I ain’t paying for something that he’ll give up on and fail at.” “Oh, there’s no fee,” I replied. “You just have to fill out the permission form.” Timmy’s dad looked at me suspiciously. He glanced at Timmy, who had such a hopeful expression on his face. Then Timmy’s mother nodded her desire to let Timmy try, and finally Timmy’s dad gave in and signed the paper. I left, and immediately took the paper to the community center. Though registration was supposed to be closed, the lady accepted it after I explained the situation. I paid the fee, and the lady smiled and nodded when I said, “And in case anybody asks, there was no fee.” I knew this was a little boy that needed softball even more than my son did. done.” He nodded, so I continued. “Do you have a mitt?” He shook his head. I smiled. “Well, you’re in luck there, too, because we have an extra one.” I had rounded up all the extra mitts I could find at the second-hand store. I handed him the last one. It was a bit large, but it worked. I noticed that Timmy struggled to run and often fell down. I watched him, and watched my own son. Their physical challenges were almost identical. Although Timmy wasn’t very good, he had a big heart and quickly got up each time he fell. The others weren’t sure about him at first, but I encouraged them, and they were soon cheering him along. When we finished practice, my son and I walked with Timmy to his home to visit with his parents. When I mentioned I would like to have Timmy join my team, his dad shook his head. “Timmy can’t do stuff like that.” I explained about my son’s challenges and how the doctor felt physical Daris Howard, award-winning, syndicated columnist, playwright, and author, can be contacted at daris@darishoward.com. tomy at Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland, following discovery of a cancerous lump in her breast.

But now, even the film’s distributor acknowledges the Civil War epic’s portrayal of slavery is dated and inaccurate. “Gone With the Wind” will be screened this weekend in 650 theaters nationwide, broadcast Monday by Turner Classic Movies and reissued Tuesday in a lavish home-video box set, including a music box, an embroidered handkerchief and more than 8 hours of bonus features. To produce something new for yet another “GWTW” box set, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment brought in filmmaker and historian Gary Leva. “‘There’s been a ton of stuff about the making of the film,’” Leva recalls the studio telling him. “‘Can you give us a deeper look at how the movie portrays the Civil War?’” Leva responded with the 30-minute documentary “Old South/ New South,” which drew a surprisingly frank conclusion for a studio-commissioned commemorative project: One of the world’s alltime great films also has great shortcomings. In the documentary, which is included in the box sets out Tuesday, historians discuss how the film has perpetuated mythology dubbed “The Lost Cause,” which proposes Southern involvement in the Civil War was solely for noble reasons, including defense of states’ rights. “But when you get right down to it, what state right are you talking about?” asks University of North Carolina history professor David Goldfield in the Leva film. “You’re talking about the right of individuals to own slaves.” Based on Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 bestseller, “Gone With the Wind” is fiction, about a spoiled Old South socialite, Scarlett O’Hara. But the real-life war that serves as her story’s backdrop looms too large in the film for many to overlook. “(Slavery) is such a component of the movie, and the characters who you are rooting for are oblivious,” noted film critic and TCM host Ben Mankiewicz. Actress Hattie McDaniel, who played Scarlett’s devoted nanny Mammy, a slave, became the first African-American actor to be nominated for and win an Academy Award. Nevertheless, the film’s portrayal of black characters has been criticized ever since the world premiere in Atlanta on Dec. 13, 1939. “In ‘Gone With the Wind,’ slavery is portrayed in the most benevolent terms,” Leva said. “Characters like Mammy are looked at like family members. And there’s no hint at any sort of wrongdoing — the slave masters do nothing in the film that seems inappropriate.” At least the movie got one thing right: Tomorrow is, indeed, another day; Hollywood is finally offering a grittier, more honest view of slavery in films such as “12 Years a Slave” and “Django Unchained.” “Compare ‘Gone With the Wind’ and ‘Django’ — very different films about the same period of time, with a lot of the same imagery, dealt with in very different ways,” observed actress Kerry Washington. The “Scandal” star is one of the leads in 2012’s “Django,” Quentin Tarantino’s violent pre-Civil War saga, which includes such scenes as an owner forcing his slaves into gruesome death matches. Washington said the final scene in “Django,” a plantation in flames, is a direct reference to “Gone With the Wind.” But she added “GWTW” “has a really important place in the history of filmmaking, and in the history of African-Americans at the Oscars, in the history of messaging and how we portray history. And all of that is worth talking about.” Leva, a Texan who said he considers himself a Southerner, acknowledged he’s conflicted over “Gone With the Wind.” “For me, as a film, just looking at it cinematically, it is a masterpiece,” said Leva. This photo provided by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment shows Clark Gable, as Rhett Butler, and Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara in a scene from the film, “Gone With the Wind.” The film’s 75th anniversary will be celebrated over the next week, with special screenings and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment’s release of a lavish new limited-edition box set. (AP Photo) “But politically? … If you were to do the film today, you wouldn’t make the film nearly as romantic. You’d make the film much grittier. And you could show, I think, in a balanced way, that some Southern slave owners were, perhaps, kind human beings, and some of them were brutal.” And that’s precisely what director Steve McQueen did with this year’s best picture Oscar-winner, “12 Years a Slave.” “The fact that the 75th anniversary of ‘Gone With the Wind’ comes in the same year that ‘12 Years a Slave’ wins — it makes it, for a change, a little bit simple,” Mankiewicz said. “Like, ‘Look what kind of progress we’ve This photo provided by Warner Bros. shows Warner Bros.

She tinkers with the point of view on “Send It On Down” by switching the narrator’s gender, adding more weight to the song’s inspirational message. She slows down Young’s “Out on the Weekend” — one of Liddell’s favorites — giving it a wistful, weary feel. She knows the songs won’t get country radio airplay, but she still feels she’s right at the heart of what she thinks of as country music. “I don’t think country music has changed,” she said. “I think what’s called country music, what’s marketed as country music, has definitely changed. Nothing wrong with that. There’s a lot of people that want to hear that. I am a lover of real country music, what I think is hardcore country music. And I miss that. And I see people all the time that also miss it. So I put a lot of that on this record.” �Sports Sunday Times-Sentinel� Sunday, September 28, 2014 • Page 1B White Falcons soar past Fed Hock, 40-14 Rebels rally 28-18 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com By Gary Clark Special to OVP STEWART, Ohio — Kaileb Sheets ran for 220 yards and two touchdowns with Demitrius Serevicz adding four scores and 154 yards on the ground to lead the Wahama White Falcons past Federal Hocking by a 40-14 score Friday evening before a moderate turnout on the Lancers home turf. Sheets, the White Falcons junior signal caller, followed a 200 yard performance by Serevicz in last week’s win over Belpre. Sheets picked up 220 yards on the ground in addition to returning a Federal Hocking kickoff 73 yards for a score and running 83 yards for another Falcon touchdown. He also booted a pair of PAT kicks while finishing his night by completing five of eight passes for 46 yards. Serevicz also enjoyed his fifth consecutive 100 yard outing as the senior running back edged closer to a 1000 yard season with a 154 yard rushing effort. Serevicz scored four touchdowns on runs of three, four, 15 and 19 yards in addition to running successful two-point conversion. The punishing Falcon ball carrier has amassed 752 yards on the ground this year with the 2014 season just at the midway point. The league win was the fourth in a row for Coach Dave Barr’s Bend Area team as Wahama improved to 4-1 overall and 4-0 inside the Hocking Division of the Tri-Valley Conference. Federal Hocking dropped to 0-5 overall on the 2014 grid campaign and 0-4 in conference action. For the fourth consecutive outing the method of operation for the White Falcons included another strong second half performance. The White Falcons carried a slim 7-0 lead into the locker room at the half before exploding for 20 unanswered points in the final 6:44 of the third quarter to put the game away. It was Sheets’ 73 yard kickoff return that sparked the Bend Area team after Federal Hocking had cut the WHS advantage to 13-6 midway through the third period following a nine play 67 yard drive for the Lancers first score. The White Falcons utilized a demanding ground attack during the final two quarters behind the front line of Brent Larck, Jesse Hesson, Clayton Sines, Austin Juelfs, Andrew Tyree and Garrett Miller. Wahama totaled 387 rushing yards with 228 of those coming in the second half. Serevicz opened the night’s scoring activity with a three yard run with 10:20 remaining in the second canto. Sheets added the point after kick to give WHS a 7-0 lead following the lone touchdown of the first half but once third quarter play began the offense began to roll. Another Serevicz six-pointer pushed the Falcon lead to 13-0 at the 9:31 mark of the third stanza. Federal Hocking rallied to score moments later on an Ivan Santiago one yard run to close the deficit to six at 13-6. The remainder of the contest belonged to Wahama as Sheets answered the Lancer score with a 73 yard kickoff return.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — A tale of two halves. The South Gallia football team managed just three first downs in the first 24 minutes of play Friday night at East Shade River Stadium, but the Rebels overcame a six-point halftime deficit to claim a 28-18 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Eastern. After three stalled drives the Eagles (2-3, 2-1 TVC Hocking) offense finally got the break it was looking for with 31 seconds remaining in the first quarter when sophomore quarterback Jett Facemyer connected with senior Christian Speelman for an 80-yard touchdown pass. Eastern’s 6-0 lead didn’t last long, however, as South Gallia (3-2, 2-1) junior Landon Hutchinson returned the ensuing 96 yards to even the game at 6-6.

Point Pleasant burns Blue Devils By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — It’s easier to tear something down than it is to build it up. Fifteen years of frustration came to an end in 44 minutes of work Friday night as Point Pleasant picked up its first win over Gallia Academy since the 1998 campaign following a 58-3 victory in a Week 5 gridiron matchup at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The Big Blacks (5-0) dominated from the opening kickoff as the hosts averaged over 12 yards per offensive snap in the first half en route to a 35-0 halftime advantage. The visiting Blue Devils (2-3) — who mustered only 93 yards of total offense on the night — found themselves down 58-0 through three quarters of play, but Dylan Saunders nailed a 42-yard field goal midway through a shortened fourth to break up the shutout bid. PPHS — which had lost the previous 10 matchups with GAHS up until 2008 before the series went on a fiveyear hiatus — posted a season-high 542 yards of total offense while also extending its West Bryan Walters/photo Point Pleasant defender Tanner Hill sacks Gallia Academy quarterback Kole Carter (5) as teammate Brian Gibbs (18) looks on during the second half of Friday night’s Week 5 gridiron contest at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

The 55-point triumph is also the largest margin victory ever in the 80 head-to-head meetings between these two programs, with Gallia Academy still owning the all-time series record by a 40-35-5 count. Afterwards, eighthyear PPHS coach Dave Darst was glad that the Battle for the Bridge rivalry had been rekindled. More importantly, he was proud of the way his offense answered the bell on Friday night. “It’s somewhat of a new system, but the offense is just jelling.

Eastern travels to 1-4 Waterford next Friday; the Wildcats have lost four straight games including back-to-back shutout losses. PP-GA 35-0 advantage into the intermission. Neither team had a turnover in the first half, but that was about the only similarity between the two teams at the break. PPHS rushed 23 times for 279 yards and had 349 yards of total offense at the half, while Gallia Academy amassed just 30 yards on 16 rushes and a total of 67 yards overall. GAHS punted four times in the first half and mustered just four first downs, compared to zero punts and 16 first downs for Point Pleasant over that same span. Mitchell — who now has 19 touchdowns on the season — picked up his fifth and final score of the night on the opening play of the second half after rumbling 74 yards to paydirt for a 42-0 advantage 20 seconds into the third period. Senior Noah Morgan sacked GAHS quarterback Kole Carter in the endzone on the next drive, which resulted in a safety at the 10:10 mark — increasing Point’s lead to 44-0. Cody Marcum tacked on a 29-yard scamper for a 51-0 edge at the 8:07 mark and Grant Safford added a five-yard scoring run with 25 seconds left in the third, making it a sizable 58-0 lead headed into the fourth. Besides the Saunders field goal, GAHS also had a late bright spot as Isiah Holley blocked and recovered a punt attempt by Point Pleasant — giving the Blue Devils the ball at the PPHS 6 with 1:44 remaining in regulation. Gallia Academy, however, failed to cash on on the prime field position as the guests finished their drive at the six following their fourth down play as time expired. GAHS sophomore Brody Thomas also recovered a Point fumble early in the fourth quarter. The Big Blacks finished the night with 472 rushing yards on 42 attempts and added another 70 yards through the air. PPHS managed 23 first downs and was penalized six times for 45 yards while also committing the only turnover of the contest. The Blue Devils mustered only 16 rushing yards on 30 attempts and added another 77 yards through the air. Gallia Academy ended the game with four first downs — none of which came in the second half — and was flagged six times for 40 yards. GAHS also punted six times for an average of 35 yards apiece. Mitchell led the hosts with 247 rushing yards on a dozen carries while Yates chipped in his first career 100-yard rushing effort with 11 carries for 118 yards. Safford also added 39 rushing yards on six carries and Marcum had 27 yards on two totes in the triumph. Yates finished the night 4-of-6 passing for 70 yards, with Mitchell leading the wideouts with two catches for 42 yards. Gage Buskirk also hauled in two passes for 28 yards and Dylan Lunsford was a per- fect 8-for-8 on PAT kicks. Eric Ward led the Devils with seven yards on seven carries, followed by Colton Campbell with five yards on two attempts and Carter added four yards on 12 tries. Carter finished the night 7-of-14 passing for 77 yards, with Ward leading the way with 37 yards on one catch. Eric Sheets and Seth Wills also hauled in two passes apiece for 14 and 10 yards, respectively. Point Pleasant returns to action next week when it hosts Parkersburg South, while Gallia Academy returns home to face Belfry (Ky). Both games will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. From page 1B another solid effort tonight. “The chemistry of this football team right now is just right. Everybody is out there making plays, doing their jobs and having fun. We just have to keep doing the things that make us successful and start getting ready for the next challenge.” Conversely, first-year GAHS coach Josh Riffe was pleased with his kids’ resiliency to the bitter end — but noted that Point Pleasant simply had too much firepower to handle on this given night. “Point Pleasant has a great football team, pure and simple. We’ve battled a tough schedule, and that’s not an excuse, but we want to come out and compete,” Riffe said. “I’m looking for guys who will fight and bleed and not give up, and these kids have done all of those things through five weeks of good and bad. “They have shown heart and character in every game, so I know I can count on them to always give me everything that they have on the field. I think that speaks volumes about my kids.” The Blue Devils started well as Kole Carter completed a 37-yard pass to Eric Ward on the first play of the game, which ultimately accounted for one-third of the team’s total offense on the night. GAHS, however, lost 17 yards on its next three plays before eventually punting the ball away. Point Pleasant — which scored touchdowns on its first eight possessions — followed with a nine-play, 89-yard drive that ended with an eightyard TD run by Cody Mitchell, giving the hosts a 7-0 lead at the 7:15 mark of the first. After forcing another GAHS punt, Mitchell capped a three-play, 91-yard drive with a 44-yard TD catch from Aden Yates at the 3:41 mark — allowing Point to secure a 14-0 edge after one quarter of play. Mitchell added second quarter TD runs of five yards and 48 yards, which allowed the hosts to double their lead out to 28-0 with 8:20 remaining in the half. Yates tacked on a 13-yard TD scamper at the 1:33 mark, allowing the Big Blacks to take a WAH-FH Church to make the final tally 40-14.

Defenders fall Meigs rallies past River Valley to TVCS, 6-0 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Christian soccer team had little luck with visiting Teays Valley Christian following a 6-0 loss Friday night in a non-conference matchup in the Old French City. The host Defenders (3-7-2) played well for the opening 20 minutes of regulation, but the Lions (7-2-0) countered with three consecutive goals over the next seven minutes — allowing the guests to secure a 3-0 intermission advantage. Alex Northup scored back-to-back goals in the 21st and 24th minutes for a 2-0 edge, then Marshall Howerton added an unassisted goal in the 27th minute to wrap up the first half scoring. TVCS added to its lead in the 46th minute after Eli Gillespie netted a goal for a 4-0 cushion, then OVCS helped the Lions’ cause in the 54th frame with an own goal — making it a 5-0 contest. Howerton concluded the scoring in the 57th minute with a goal to wrap up the six-goal triumph. The guests outshot the Defenders by a sizable 28-7 overall margin and also claimed a 3-1 edge in corner kicks. Marshall Hood stopped 22 shots in goal for the hosts while Luke Mace stopped seven shots in perserving the shutout win for TVCS. Ohio Valley Christian returns to action Tuesday when it hosts Cross Lanes Christian at 5 p.m. ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Its not always how you start, but rather how you finish that makes the difference. The River Valley volleyball team won the opening game of Thursday night’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division tilt at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, but the host Lady Marauders won the next three games to claim the victory. The Lady Raiders (9-8, 5-4 TVC Ohio) charged out to a 14-5 lead in the opening game and cruised to the 25-16 victory. Meigs (10-7, 4-5) answered in the second game, surging to a 21-8 lead and holding on for the 25-14 victory. The Lady Marauders kept the momentum going in the second game, jumping out to a 22-11 lead.

The Maroon and Gold charged to a 14-6 lead in the fourth game, but the Lady Raiders battled back to tie the game at 18. The teams alternated points on six straight serves, but Meigs finally broke through and took the 25-21 victory. The 3-1 match victory serves as revenge for the September 2 meeting between these teams, when River Valley defeated Meigs 3-1 in Bidwell. Amanda Cole led the Maroon and Gold with 14 service points and two aces, followed by Hannah Cremeans with nine points and one ace. Devyn Oliver and Kelsey Hudson each marked eight points and two aces, Brook Andrus added six points and three aces, while Lindsay Patterson posted three points, including two aces. River Valley’s service attack was led by Courtney Smith with nine points and two aces, followed by Rachael Smith and Alex Truance with eight points each, including an ace by Truance. Ashley Gilmore marked six points, Leia Moore added three, while Chelsea Copley, Jacey Walter and Angel Toler each chipped in with two points. At the net Meigs was led by Andrus and Cole with 13 kills apiece. Oliver marked 12 kills, Hudson added four, while Cremeans rounded out the team total with one kill. Oliver finished with a match-high 19 assists, while Patterson added six helpers. The Lady Marauder defense was paced by Cole with three blocks, followed by Andrus with two blocks and Cremeans with one. River Valley’s net attack was led by Rachael Smith with eight kills and four blocks, followed by Moore with six kills and Truance with five kills. Walter posted four kills and three blocks, while Copley and Courtney Smith each had one kill. Copley and Courtney Smith each marked 13 digs in the setback, while Toler marked six and Truance added five. Courtney Smith led RVHS with 11 assists, followed by Copley with five. Meigs is now .500 over its last four games, while River Valley has lost a season-worst three games in a row. The Lady Marauders and Lady Raiders both return to the court on Tuesday in TVC Ohio action. Meigs will travel to Wellston, while River Valley will host Nelsonville-York. In the first meeting between these teams on September 2, Meigs won the opening game 25-23, while River Valley took the next three 25-15, 25-18 and 25-23. Warren wallops Blue Devils, 7-2 Cantley.

Lions tame Point Pleasant By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — If you blinked early on, you may have missed it. Visiting Teays Valley Christian scored in the opening minute and eventually held on to claim a 1-0 victory over the Point Pleasant boys soccer team Thursday night in a non-conference matchup at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. The Lions outshot the host Black Knights by a 13-9 overall margin, but it was the very first shot of the game that decided the final outcome. Marshall Howerton netted a pass from Hunter Bell 20 seconds into regulation, which ultimately ended up being the game-winning goal of the night. The Black Knights — who are now winless in their last six contests — fell to 3-8-1 overall this fall, while TVCS improved to 6-2-0 overall with the triumph. The Lions also claimed a 6-1 edge in corner kicks. Cole Walker stopped a dozen shots in net for PPHS and Luke Mace came up with nine saves in the shutout victory for the guests.

Hawkins making impression on Browns BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Andrew Hawkins is one of the smallest players on the Browns’ roster, but he’s made one of the biggest impressions so far this season. Through Cleveland’s first three games, the 5-foot-7, 180pound Hawkins leads the team in receiving with 21 catches for 244 yards. “It’s early still, we still have a lot of work to do, but I’m very blessed,” Hawkins said Thursday as he and his teammates were packing up to enjoy their bye week. The Browns signed the 28-year-old Hawkins to an offer sheet in March, and when the Bengals chose not to exercise first-refusal rights on the restricted free agent, Cleveland “His ability to beat manlanded the receiver, who actuto-man coverage, that’s all it ally began his career with the Browns as a tryout player at the takes to play on the outside,” wide receivers coach Mike team’s 2008 rookie minicamp.

Though he has enjoyed a featured role in Gordon’s absence, Hawkins is looking forward to having the league’s leading receiver from last season back on the field with him. “Josh is an incredible receiver, one of the best receivers in this league,” Hawkins said. “If I had my choice, he’d be here with me right now. He’s that much of a difference-maker. Honestly, I can’t wait to have Josh back, that’s all I know.” OVP Sports Briefs Eastern Golf to hold Scramble POMEROY, Ohio — The Eastern boys and girls golf teams are holding an 18-hole scramble at the Meigs County Golf Course on Saturday, October 18.

They laughed, smiled and posed for photos — together. And that’s how they plan to win an NBA championship. The trio of All-Stars, aligned this summer to bring a title to titledeprived Cleveland, took their first steps as new teammates Friday as the Cavs held their media day to tip off a season they hope ends with the city’s first pro sports championship since 1964, when the Browns ruled the NFL. Wearing a No. 23 wineand-goal Cavs uniform again, a subdued James, much more mature and business-like than the player who left for Miami four years ago, talked about his focus in trying to add a third title to the two he won with the Heat. And while the Cavs instantly became title favorites when James announced he was coming back in July, the fourtime MVP understands there will be immense pressure on him to deliver — and that nothing is guaranteed. “I still have a lot to prove because of expectations I put on myself,” James said. “I ask more of myself than anybody can ever ask of me. My expectations are still high, but I am more patient now than I was four years ago. I understand what it takes to win a championship. I understand winning a championship is the hardest thing you could ever do. I’ve been two up and two down in four years. “I went from crying tears of joy to tears of frustration. I know it all. I know what it takes.” The Cavs credentialed more than 300 media members for the first public appearance of Cleveland’s “Big 3” and TV crews from Germany, Japan and Brazil were among the throng that invaded the team’s training facility. The team set up an outdoor tent to accommodate the overflow of reporters. If Day One was any indication, the Cavs are in for quite a ride. Photographers swarmed around James everywhere he went and when he Irving and Love united for group shots, cameras whirred like the red carpet at the Academy Awards. “It’s definitely a surreal experience,” Irving said of having James and Love as teammates. James was the first to be interviewed, and he barely cracked a smile as get to play with Kyrie Irving?’ I was like, yeah,” James said. “They were like, ‘We getting to go back home to our house and getting back to my old school and my old friends?’ I was like, yeah. They were like, ‘OK, you can do it.’ And that’s how it went.” James also explained his recent weight loss — he went on a strict two-month diet — was a personal challenge. “It had nothing to do with basketball,” he said. “I’m 29 years old, and I can still fly above the rim. I don’t need to lose weight to do that.” James is returning to a Cavs team that went only 33-49 last season, and missed the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. Not only does he need to adjust to new teammates, but James will play for David Blatt, a successful Ed Suba Jr./Akron Beacon Journal/MCT photo international coach whose From left, the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Kyrie Irving, LeBron James and first job in North America Kevin Love strike a pose while having their picture taken during the is to take this talent-laden team’s Media Day at the Cleveland Clinic Courts on Friday, Sept. 26, squad to the finals. 2014, in Independence, Ohio. “Let’s get it on,” Blatt said. “Let’s go.

One of Blatt’s first objectives will be getting his team to mesh, and he knows it will take time. Patience was the buzz word of the day. Blatt, too, understands having James makes things easier. “It’s an enormous advantage when your best player and arguably the best player in the world is your best example,” Blatt said. “When he comes to work every day, you know you’re going to get his maximum effort and maximum performance. When he walks into the gym, he lifts everyone up.” For James, his homecoming with the Cavs is a chance to finish what he started. He carried Cleveland to its only finals appearance in 2007, but now the stakes are higher. This time, a championship isn’t just a goal, it’s expected. “I’m a guy that my expectations are still high because I believe in this team and what we can ultimately get to,” James said. “But I also understand it won’t be easy and we can’t try to play November and get to June or May right now. We have to go November to December and the rest of the calendar year to even have a chance.” Tony Stewart comforted by support of NASCAR family Call the Chamber of Commerce at 740-446-0596 or follow us on Facebook.

(AP) — Tony Stewart’s walk back to his motorhome was halted by a pair of old friends. Two longtime NASCAR participants stopped Stewart not far from his car for a lengthy chat in the Dover garage. His firesuit stripped down to his waist, a freshly shaven Stewart smiled and laughed as the trio caught up shortly after the first Sprint Cup practice on Friday. Kenny Wallace, a close friend and TV analyst, put his hand on Stewart’s right shoulder as they spoke and gave him a big hug when they finished. Stewart’s loyal friends have stood by his side in his toughest time. So have the fans who roar for him during driver introductions and crowd his car, snapping pictures and shouting for autographs. They’ve all stuck up for Smoke — and empathized with him in the bleakest moments following the fatal sprint car crash that killed Kevin Ward Jr. “There is sort of a sickness or something in the pit of your stomach for what Tony is going through,” Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Friday. Stewart seemed in good spirits at Dover International Speedway in his first race weekend since a grand jury decided he would not be charged in Ward’s death. “I’m sure there’s some type of relief that it’s kind of done,” six-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson said. There could be some legal woes ahead. Ward’s family has said “the matter is not at rest,” and Stewart may still face a civil lawsuit. For Stewart, the driver who inspired the (hash)StandWithSmoke movement on Twitter, the support has been appreciated, if not totally unexpected, from a racing Harvick takes 7th pole of year DOVER, Del. (AP) — Time for some cuts, Chase style. NASCAR’s revamped Chase for the Sprint Cup championship format is set for its first elimination race, when four of 16 drivers will be out of the title picture by Sunday night. Win and advance — and they’ll all have to zip by Kevin Harvick to have a chance at Victory Lane. Harvick turned a lap at 162.933 mph to win the pole Friday at Dover International Speedway, leading the field for the third Chase race. Led by Harvick, Chase drivers took the top four spots and six of 10. Harvick’s seventh pole of the season gives him one more than he had combined in his career entering this season. And it makes him one of the drivers to beat in a race where championship hopes are on the line. The bottom four are dumped from the hunt: Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Aric Almirola are at risk of getting cut Sunday. Hamlin, though, bolstered his bid to stay alive with a third-place qualifying run. “It’s the most important race of my career because it’s the most significant of my career,” Hamlin said. “We’ve got to get past this weekend with a shot to win the title. If not, you become somewhat irrelevant.” community that always cares for its own. “Racers have always taken care of racers,” Stewart told AP Auto Racing Writer Jenna Fryer in his first interview since the crash. “You don’t have to know ‘em for him to be a part of your family. That’s what’s so different about what we do versus other sports. It’s just always been that way. But the support from the NASCAR community, the sprint car community, the racing community in general, has just been overwhelming.” And not just for Stewart, but Ward’s family, as well. In Stewart’s brief statement in his return at Atlanta Motor Speedway in late August, he mentioned Ward’s parents and three sisters by name, saying he wanted them “to know that every day I’m thinking about them and praying for them.” Johnson and Earnhardt, two of NASCAR’s biggest stars, both made mention of thinking of Ward and his family when they answered questions Friday. “I feel sadness in my heart for the Ward family,” said Earnhardt, whose father, Dale, was killed on the track in the 2001 Daytona 500. Stewart has continued on as a fan favorite and stops to sign for fans on an autograph hunt in the garage. He received a big cheer from the crowd when he was introduced in Atlanta. Many fans wrote notes of encouragement on the pavement at the entrance to his garage stall. Stewart can’t forget how the fans welcomed him back with open arms. “It was one of the most flattering, if not the most flattering experience I’ve had in my life,” he told the AP. “As much support as I got from the racing community, it showed me how much deeper it actually went. Through this whole thing, you get online and you read posts and you read blogs and you sit there and see people who are Jeff Gordon fans, or Jimmie Johnson fans or Carl Edwards fans, whoever, and read comments that do not like me but understand and it’s not just been … it’s people who don’t like me and don’t pull for me racing, but were sympathetic of the situation.” �Along the River Sunday Times-Sentinel� Sunday, September 28, 2014 • Page 1C Rio Grande celebrates arts through visiting artist series RIO GRANDE — Students at Federal Hocking High School enjoyed a hands-on glimpse into the world of fine arts printmaking, compliments of the University of Rio Grande. The School of Fine Arts at Rio Grande hosts a visiting artist series funded through the Imagine Arts Endowment. The project currently features Welsh printmaker Andrew Baldwin, who taught a four-day workshop at Federal Hocking High School in Stewart, Ohio. “It was really exciting,” said Ellen Hadley, art teacher at Federal Hocking High. “They were just so excited about having an international artist here. Anytime you bring in an artist who gets a paycheck for their art, it’s always a really nice thing to show. It truly was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these students to get that feel.” Baldwin worked with three separate art classes for a total of roughly 60 students. He provided a hands-on printmaking clinic on his innovative techniques and a new product that he invented. His product, known as Baldwin Intaglio Ground, Baldwin is a non-toxic alternative to traditional products that contain many hazardous chemicals. “Printmaking is a process that obviously dates back a few hundred years,” Baldwin said. “I felt it necessary, really, that I start to research ways of achieving the same results without using the same chemicals and processes traditionally used.” One small example is substituting soy sauce for ammonia in the degreasing stage of preparing the plates. Other changes include using vegetable oils and soap for cleanup, rather than petroleum solvents. These substances perform as well as the traditional hazardous sol- Welsh printmaker Andrew Baldwin works with students at Federal Hocking High School in Stewart, Ohio.

For more information about Baldwin’s innovative techniques, visit his Trefeglwys Print Studio website at printmakingstudio.co.uk. Aside from running his own print studio, Baldwin also is a professor at Abersytwyth University in Wales, where he holds the position of senior technician and tutor in printmaking and photography. “There are still a lot of printmakers still skeptical of non-toxic printmaking,” Baldwin said. “I like to think that the processes that I use don’t compromise quality. At the end of the four days, we turned out some really nice prints. I think everyone learned quite a bit, and I’m hoping everyone got the bug.” Baldwin’s work is currently on display at the Ester Allen Greer Museum located on the University of Rio Grande campus. The exhibit runs through Oct. 10 and it free to the public. Baldwin has exhibited in Europe and America, and was honored with the Most Exceptional Artist Award from the Federation of British Artists in 2006, and Welsh Artist of the Year Award in Printmaking from the same group in 2007. “His work is really impressive, and he’s developed innovative techniques and materials that have made the entire printmaking process much safer,” said Benjy Davies, Rio Grande School of Fine Arts chair. “He works primarily in etching. His images are typically figurative and include a healthy dose of irony and humor, occasionally even poking fun at the state of fine arts in contemporary society.” Baldwin’s visit to Rio Grande also included a trip to the Ohio University print studios, where he consulted with the printmaking faculty regarding his techniques and materials. The visit was made pos- sible through collaboration with the Madog Center for Welsh Studies. “The Madog Center and the School of Fine Arts are collaborating on a variety of initiatives to foster more international connections, especially with Welsh scholars, artists and educators,” Davies said. “Several members of the Aberystwyth staff visited Rio in the spring of 2013 to discuss possible collaborations.” Baldwin’s visit was the first of hopefully many. His workshop at Federal Hocking High was the result of a connection through Davies, an alumnus of Federal Hocking who served as the keynote speaker for their student chapter of the National Art Honor Society inductions last spring. While Baldwin’s printmaking workshop at Federal Hocking High ended Sept. 19, Hadley’s art class gets to keep the press and printmaking materials through the semester in order to continue developing the newly learned skills. “Rio Grande does a lot of great things for the arts in this region,” Hadley said. “I really do appreciate their outreach; it is not a common thing as far as universities go. Any time I have a student interested in that field, I mention Rio Grande.” Battle Days festival to return, October 3-5 by Beth Sergent bsergent@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT — Point Pleasant will celebrate its place in history as the first battle of the American Revolution during Battle Days.

Holzer Assisted Living resident is father of five generations GALLIPOLIS — Holzer features assisted living facilities in Gallipolis and Jackson for individuals when they require more care than family can provide. Seth Huntley is one of those individuals. For the past two years, Huntley has resided in Holzer Assisted Living in Gallipolis, and recently enjoyed a visit of five generations of Huntleys. He was featured in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune in August, holding his great-great-grandchild. Huntley has had an active and interesting life. He was a postmaster for 18 years in Vinton, Ohio, twice been a minister after first being a lay speaker, and a farmer. In addition, he obtained skills in leather working. For fun, he used to make leather items such as purses, key chains, and coupon holders. Medically, Huntley has a history of polio, with partial weakness.

Study focuses on snowshoe hares CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — How quickly can West Virginia’s snowshoe hares adapt to a changing world? Scientists want to know. To find out, a North Carolina-based team of researchers is capturing adult hares, outfitting them with radio collars to track their movements throughout the coming months. “The objective of our research is to understand how the species might adapt to big and rapid human-caused stressors such as climate change,” said Scott Mills, a professor at North Carolina State University. “We hope to discover how wild animal populations might be able to adapt to big changes caused by humans.” Mills said snowshoe hares are a good species GALIPOLLIS — The Belville and Sheets reunion was held Aug. 2 at the Golden Corral Restaruant in Gallipolis. The event was planned by Gail Belville, of Gallipolis. Brenda Belville, of San Antonio, Texas, was recognized for traveling the greatest distance. Also recognized were the youngest attendee, Caden Belville, and the oldest attendee, Shenie Burnett. The group enjoyed lunch and fellowship. Those attending were: Gail Belville, James Belville, Roger and to study because their survival depends on camouflage — a camouflage that changes dramatically from winter to summer. For most of the year, snowshoe hares have brown fur. As fall turns to winter and snow covers the ground, they molt their brown coats and grow white ones. “The change takes place with exquisite timing,” Mills explained. “Hares at higher elevations molt earlier because the winter snowpack starts earlier up there.” Climate change, he added, has thrown the timing off. “The single biggest, most predictable effect of climate change is a reduction in the number of days snow stays on the ground. If the snow melts before the hares molt back to their brown coats, what you end up with is a lot of white light bulbs hopping around on bare ground where they’re easy targets for predators.” Mills and his fellow researchers hope to determine how quickly the hares can adapt their molt cycles to the “new normal” in snowpack duration, and also whether the animals’ mismatched camouflage might someday cause them to go extinct. “(Researchers have) been working on this question in Montana, in Washington state, in Sweden and in Scotland,” Mills said. “West Virginia is a particularly interesting place to continue the research because it represents the extreme southern limit of the snowshoe hare’s range. Even though the state’s high mountains get a good seasonal snowpack, we might see limits in the snowpack’s duration because it’s so far south.” Sometime in the next few weeks, Mills and a cadre of student assistants will trap and equip with radio collars at least 10 adult hares. Once that is done, researchers will return periodically to track the animals. “The idea is to find them and see if their (fur) matches their surroundings,” Mills explained. “So we’ll be thrashing around in rhododendron and spruce thickets a lot. “The crazy thing is, we’ll be able to walk right up on top of them. That’s evidence of how much they rely on camouflage. They’ll hold still while we walk in on their radio signals, take pictures of them, record their color and record the ground color.” LONDON (AP) — They raced down the slide, one by one, like children on a playground. At the bottom, smartphone photos were snapped and high fives exchanged. The frequent fliers were all smiling and laughing — and quietly hoping to never use an evacuation slide again. Doing so would mean their plane had just crashed. The slide demonstration was part of a half-day safety course that encourages passengers to be aware of their surroundings and familiarize themselves with what happens in an emergency. The two dozen participants learned the best way to brace for a crash, how to open aircraft doors and why to wait until exiting a plane to inflate life vests. “In this day and age, everybody is so comfortable with flying, they get on planes and don’t consider safety,” says Andy Clubb, a safety instructor at British Airways’ flight training center. Started as a training exercise for oil company employees who routinely flew to remote locations, the course is now open to frequent fliers willing to pay $265, although most participants are still sent by their companies. There are up to three classes a week. The class begins inside a Boeing 737 cabin simulator. Airplane seats are selected. Seatbelts are buckled. The safety demonstration begins. Just like on a real flight, nobody pays attention — and these are passengers who know there is going to be a crash. The simulator rocks back and forth like taxiing, then tilts up for takeoff. Soon theatrical smoke fills the cabin and the flight attendants shout “Brace. Brace. Brace.” Everybody’s head goes down until the evacuation order is given. It’s a scramble to the nearest exit. Some passengers fare better than others. Seatbelts aren’t snapped off quickly enough. One woman struggles to open the emergency exit over the wing. When the smoke clears, the group sits back down and learns that six to eight passengers can go through the door in the time it takes one passenger to go through the tiny over-wing exit. Seconds count. In the simulator, anyone who hesitates gets a stern lecture. In real life, they’re pushed out the door, down the slide by a flight attendant. Clubb explains that the key to survival is getting into the proper brace position: Bend forward as far as possible, keep your head down. Place your feet flat on the floor and slide them back. Your dominant hand goes on the back of your head. Protect that hand by placing the other hand over it. Do not interlock fingers. The goal is to ensure that the bones in the stronger hand aren’t broken so you can eventually unbuckle the seatbelt. Will members of the class ever use the training? Each day, 8.3 million people around the globe step aboard some 93,500 flights. They almost always land safely. In the past decade, there have only been 138 crashes worldwide that had fatalities, according to aviation consultancy Ascend. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
