The program epitomizes the mission laid out by People to Submitted photo McKenzie Skidmore, an eighth-grade student at Gallia Academy Middle People International Chairman School, was nominated by one of her teachers for the People to People Emeritus Mary Jean Eisenhower to “promote peace through Student Ambassador Program. understanding” between citizens from across the globe. In past 50 years the program has sent student ambassadors to all seven continents, including Antarctica. According to the People to People program’s website, “student ambassadors learn about other cultures, engage in fun activities, and meet local citizens.” The website adds that the Student Ambassador program is not a traditional educational experience. “All Student Ambassador programs provide a unique opportunity for educational growth, which can help give the student an edge in the classroom,” it states. The work of the student ambassadors is to help spread Eisenhower’s vision of a better world. In the process, they gain maturity, confidence, self-esteem and friendships. Skidmore’s travels will take her on a 19-day journey through England, Ireland, Scotland and Ireland this coming June. If you would like to make a donation to assist Skidmore fund her trip, donations can be made at Ohio Valley Bank on Jackson Pike in Gallipolis. Reach Bret Bevens at (740) 446-2342, Ext. 2103. School board adopts policies By April Jaynes ajaynes@civitasmedia.com PATRIOT — Multiple policies, resolutions and requests were approved at the most recent meeting of the Gallia County Local Schools Board of Education meeting. The board voted to adopt an advanced standing program, which enables a student to earn credit or complete coursework while enrolled in high school toward a degree from an institution of higher education. Advance standing programs may include the College Credit Plus program established under Chapter 3365 of the Ohio Revised Code, Advanced Placement courses, International Baccalaureate Diploma courses or early college high school programs. Another policy adopted was the school properties disposal procedure, which states that upon board approval “if the fair market value of the property is $1,000 or more, the property is sold to the highest bidder at public auction,” with the board reserving the right to reject any or all bids, according to the policy. Surplus items are classified as “having no resale value” and are “offered without cost to charitable and civic organizations, or disposed of by the most efficient method without board approval.” The policy also states that “items having resale value of less than $1,000 may be disposed of by the superintendent of his/her designee at the most advantageous price by private sale, without advertising or board approval; or $1,000 or more shall be advertised for sale, following board approval.” A resolution was also approved to not provide transportation services for students attending Ohio Valley Christian School. The resolution states: “Having received requests from Gallia See POLICIES | 5A Feeney Bennett Post 128 holds awards Staff report MIDDLEPORT — Feeney Bennett Post 128, of Middleport, met for their annual Thanksgiving dinner with members and guests in attendance.

Debbie Phillips says Meigs County residents no longer have to worry about House Bill 515, as it is set to die at the end of this year. State Rep. Ross W. McGregor does not currently plan to move forward with it, she said. “Each bill is guaranteed one hearing, and the hearing for the bill was May 13,” she said. “Nothing else happened with it. It doesn’t really look like it’s going anywhere.” Phillips also wanted to clarify, saying that there is no Dec. 2 hearing for the bill in Columbus, and no other hearings are scheduled at this time. She said that she was not able to attend Tuesday night’s town hall meeting because she had meetings in Columbus and did not arrive home until 8:30 p.m., but called the next morning to get an update from the commissioners. “It seemed like an important issue to try and address,” she said about the bill. “I hear people’s concerns and I really appreciate their input. That’s the way the process works. I’m really glad they have let me know how they feel about this legislation, and I’m listening.” THURSDAY, DEC. 4 SYRACUSE — The Ugly Christmas Sweater Thirty-Ones and Basket Games will take place Thursday, Dec. 4 at the Syracuse Community Center.

Of the 17,776 registered voters of Mason County, only 7,122 participated in the selection of the first woman U.S. senator from West Virginia; 7,122 played their part in seeing the end to the 38 years of dedicated service from the 3rd District congressman. Those 10,000 missing voters were not heard regarding the state’s proposed Constitutional Amendment or the Sunday hunting decision. The good news is over 40 percent voted in this general election — 24 percent better than the voter turnout in the primary election. Thanks to those 7,122 of you who voted and exercised your constitutional rights. I challenge each Mason Countain to contribute suggestions to your legislators and participate in government in any way you can for the next two years. Finally, I want to recognize all poll workers, voting machine technicians, and county clerk employees for their help in the election process. Diana N. Cromley County Clerk of Mason County, W.Va. THEIR VIEW It’s time to move on from lost election Dear Editor, On Nov. 5, 2013, an election was held to elect council members in Middleport. Mr. Wehrung was not one of those elected. In fact, the only ones that had fewer votes than Mr. Wehrung were Rae Moore and a write-in candidate. It would appear to me that Mr. Wehrung, along with some of his friends, lost the election by a landslide. Obviously, the residents of Middleport did not approve of Mr. Wehrung’s bullying tactics, nor did they approve of many of the actions of the previous council. Residents definitely showed their disapproval of many of the previous council members’ actions. As for the two $5 license taxes, they do not provide points for paving applications anymore. But that really doesn’t matter since no paving has been done in Middleport in the past seven years, other than patchwork. In fact, only two applications have been submitted in that time (2010 and 2014) and neither of those were funded. Middleport used to receive in excess of $60,000 from gasoline tax and other state license fees. I would assume they probably receive more than that now. I think it’s time for Mr. Wehrung to realize that he and his friends lost the election and no longer run the town. I have won elections and lost elections, and hope that I was never the poor loser that Mr. Wehrung has shown he is. If he believes Middleport residents approve of him so much, there is another election next year. Fred L.

Call us at: 740.992.2155 or 740.446.2342 A tale of two soldiers By Daris Howard For Ohio Valley Publishing David and John were two men from the same small town who grew up on opposite sides of society. David was from the richest family in town. His family owned much of the land and some big companies, employing more than half of those who lived there. He didn’t know what hard work was, having had everything he needed or wanted handed to him. John’s family was poor, and due to illness and medical costs, there was seldom enough to eat. As he grew older, in order to help out his family, he obtained a job on one of the farms that David’s family owned. Every day after school, he changed into patched clothes and worked at back-breaking labor until after dark. He never had time for the fun activities most kids his age enjoyed. David and John were in the same grade in school, and David viewed John with disdain. He mocked him and made his life miserable. More than once, in the depths of winter, David and his friends took John’s threadbare coat, forcing him to endure the frigid temperature without it. When they graduated, John was happy at the thought of being free of the insults and derision. But then World War II came, and both David and John were drafted into the army, and to John’s dismay, they ended up in the same platoon. Through basic training, John tried to avoid David as much as possible, but he was still forced to endure a lot of harassment from him and his friends. As time went on, David became more and more popular. His family sent him many gifts from home, and David shared them throughout the platoon, but never with John. John, on the other hand, received nothing more than the occasional letter from home. Eventually, they were deployed to Europe. Their company saw a lot of action and most thoughts turned to surviving. Then came the Battle of the Bulge, and the fighting intensified. Under a fierce bombardment, they were forced to fall back, and as they did, a shell struck killing some of David’s squad and wounding him. The rest raced for cover, and David was left, wounded and dying, on the battlefield. As he lay there with bullets whizzing past and shells falling all around, he was sure that one of his many friends would come to his rescue. Some time passed, and no one came. David had just about given up hope when he realized that someone was crawling toward him. The man worked under heavy fire to drag David back toward their line, and as he did, three times he was knocked down, twice from bullets and once by shrapnel from an explosion. But, eventually, he pulled David to safety, and as he did, he collapsed from loss of blood. That was when David finally got a look at who had saved him, and he gasped to see that it was John. When David woke in the field hospital, he saw that he still had both arms and both legs. He asked the nurse about his condition and was told that he should make a full recovery. He then looked for John, and when he saw him, he noticed that he was missing a leg and had a horrible head wound. When David asked the nurse about John’s condition, he was told his chance of survival wasn’t very good. He asked if his bed could be next to John’s, and his request was granted. Though John lay there day after day, never moving, David talked to him and encouraged him. Then, one day, John briefly regained consciousness, and David asked, “John, why did you save my life, especially after how I treated you?” John feebly answered, “I could never return home knowing I hadn’t tried to rescue a brother.” Those were the last words he ever spoke, for the next day he passed away. When, sometime later, David became heir to a great fortune, he never forgot John, and when people asked him why he spent his life and his fortune helping others, he simply said, “I could never return home knowing I hadn’t tried to rescue a brother.” Daris Howard, award-winning, syndicated columnist, playwright, and author, can be contacted at daris@darishoward.com.

The University of Rio Grande men’s basketball team might beg to differ, though. Washington Adventist (Md.) University, the RedStorm’s opponent on Friday afternoon, proved to be the polar opposite of what their five-game statistics suggested and the Shock dealt Rio a 105-97 loss in the opening round of the Baisi Classic at West Virginia UniversityTech’s Baisi Athletic Center. Rio Grande suffered its first loss of the season in its sixth outing. Washington Adventist led from nearly start to finish in improving to 3-3. Entering Friday’s game, WAU was shooting just over 20 percent from threepoint range for the season, was connecting on just under 58 percent of its free throw tries and was being outrebounded by nearly seven rebounds per game. In the win over the RedStorm, the Shock hit 12 of their 20 shots from beyond the three-point arc (60.0%), finished 35-for-44 from the free throw line (79.5%) and outrebounded head coach Ken French’s team, 38-37. Rio led just once at 2-0, but WAU answered with an 8-0 run and never trailed again. The Shock led by as many as 16 points with just under 14 minutes left in the first half, but the RedStorm hung tough and closed the gap to just five, 50-45, after a jumper by junior guard D.D. Joiner (Columbus, OH) with 19-1/2 minutes left in the game. Washington Adventist, the defending United States Collegiate Athletic Association Division I national champion, responded with an 11-3 run over the next three minutes to push the lead back to 13 points and was never seriously threatened again. The Shock increased the lead to as many as 17 points with 12:44 remaining and equaled that mark twice more over the next four minutes. WAU’s cushion remained in double figures until a threepointer by Joiner with 2-1/2 minutes left pulled the RedStorm to within 96-88, but the RedStorm got no closer. Joiner finished with a team-high 26 points and eight rebounds in the loss, while senior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) had 16 of his 19 points in the second half. Three others reached doublefigures for Rio - junior center Dwayne Bazemore (Columbus, OH) had 16 points and the duo of junior guard Kevonta Black and sophomore forward Corey Cruse (Fort Mitchell, KY) had 10 points each. Black also had six steals and freshman guard Will Hill (Worthington, OH) added a game-high nine assists for the RedStorm. Senior forward Josh Reagan (Cleveland, OH), Rio’s leading scorer entering the contest, managed just three points in nine minutes of playing time. He sat most of the first half after drawing two quick fouls and did not return after picking up a technical foul and a personal foul in the first 5-1/2 minutes of the second stanza. Eric Lindsey matched Joiner for game-high honors with 26 points and eight rebounds to pace Washington Adventist, while Tyrus Fleetwood added 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. The Shock also got 20 points and seven rebounds from Martin Wilson and Jerry McFadden, who entered the game averaging just 3.0 points per contest, went 13-for-13 at the free throw line and finished with 19 points. Rio Grande returns to action in the final round of the Classic on Saturday, facing Barber-Scotia (N.C.) College in the 3 p.m. opener. The Sabres (1-6) suffered a 11661 loss to host WVUTech on Friday night. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

Much like the academic building itself, a majority of the Blue Devils’ and Blue Angels’ sporting events are held at this facility - both now and in the years to come. A new era: GAHS headed to OVC By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — In the end, it was a decision based on a numbers’ game. After nine decades of athletic competition as a founding member of the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League, Gallia Academy High School has decided to go down a new road after unanimously approving an invitation to the Ohio Valley Conference Wednesday night at a regularly-scheduled Board of Education meeting held at the GAMS library in the Old French City. The SEOAL – the oldest non-city athletic conference in the state – has served as a standard bearer for southeastern Ohio prep sports since its inception back in 1925, with 20 different schools competing under the league’s banner during that span. The height of the SEOAL came during the 2006-07 school year, when a then-record 10 programs from Zanesville to Portsmouth battled one another in a variety of athletic endeavors. But later that same year, Athens High School – another original member of the SEOAL – announced that it was leaving for the more-locally based Tri-Valley Conference, which officially happened in the fall of 2008. That initial tumbling domino started a chain reaction that has “I think it’s a natural fit. As the former athletic director, I know we have been loyal when other schools applied to other leagues. For whatever reason, those schools didn’t get accepted into those other leagues, but our loyalty was always with the SEOAL.” — Craig Wright Former wrestling coach led to the additional losses of Zanesville (2008-09), Ironton (2009-10), Marietta (2010-11), Chillicothe (2012-13) and Portsmouth (2014-15) for a variety of reasons, leaving only four programs – GAHS, Jackson, Logan and Warren – to continue carrying the SEOAL flag. Despite numerous efforts to keep the 90-year old league alive in the past few years, no other community has stepped in to fill the void. With only four schools working together, the biggest problem facing each of these programs no longer came down to money in tough financial times – it simply became a matter of scheduling. And with a steady decline in population over the last two decades while areas like Logan, Warren and Jackson are seeing growth, Gallia Academy – the smallest of the remaining four SEOAL schools – was left looking at another problem that no other SEOAL member had to face. Enter the Ohio Valley Conference, which currently consists of more equally-sized schools to GAHS in the likes of Portsmouth, Ironton, Chesapeake, Fairland, Coal Grove, South Point and Rock Hill. The OVC was also facing a similar problem after River Valley announced in 2010 that it was leaving for the Tri-Valley Conference at the beginning of this school year. That departure would leave only five schools, until the additions of Ironton and Portsmouth came along. Regardless of five teams or seven teams, an odd-numbered league still presents challenges – primarily for football – as each team would have to find a non-conference game in the middle of other teams’ league season. After several failed attempts to sway Gallia Academy to the OVC following River Valley’s departure announcement, the current league members ‘put their money where their mouths were’ on Wednesday, Nov. 6, when they voted 7-0 in See ERA | 5B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, November 23, 2014 Sunday Times-Sentinel OVP SPORTS BRIEFS GAHS basketball reserved seating on sale CENTENARY, Ohio — Reserved seats for boys basketball tickets went on sale Nov. 20 at GAHS.

TVMA Think safety for deer gun seasons By Jim Freeman In The Open Ohio’s youth deer gun season got underway Saturday and continues through Sunday, and West Virginia’s buck-only gun season starts tomorrow – followed a week later by Ohio’s deer gun season, so once again it is time for my annual hunting safety message. Most years I get a copy of Ohio’s annual Hunter Injury Incident Report for the previous year, and while each year is slightly different there are similarities that have persisted throughout the years, namely that 99.99 percent of all hunters experience a safe and enjoyable hunting experience. However, that .01 percent, the one hunter out of 25,000 in Ohio, is still unacceptable and represents room for improvement. Hunters are far more likely to be injured in falls, heart attacks, hypothermia, and ATV accidents than by firearms, but statistics related to those other causes are not required to be reported to law enforcement agencies and are therefore not reported in the hunter injury incident reports. To summarize, in Ohio in 2013 there were 23 total incidents, including five fatal incidents. Of the five fatal incidents, all of them involved deer hunting, with two of those being self-inflicted (discharging a firearm in or on a motor vehicle, and tying haul line to the trigger guard of a loaded firearm). In cases involving the intentional discharge of a firearm the causes were failure to identify target, victim covered by shooter swinging on game, “unknown,” victim out of sight of the shooter, and ricochet. Accidental discharges involved hammer/trigger caught on an object, discharge of firearm into/on a vehicle, careless handling of a firearm. In short, practically all firearms-related incidents come down to a violation of the basic rules of safe gun handling, which are: control the direction of your muzzle, be sure of your target and beyond, treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun, and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. In hunter education class, I break it down into a chain of events that must occur for the shooting to take place – someone loaded the gun, then pointed it in an unsafe direction, and then pulled the trigger. If any one of these events does not occur, the negligent shooting cannot occur. Even if there is a mechanical defect with the firearm that causes it to fire, someone must have loaded it, and had it pointing in an unsafe direction. Media reports on firearm incidents written in the “passive” voice tend to make the firearm the doer of action, not the person. This is illogical, because no matter what you see on television, a firearm is an inanimate object; it cannot load, aim, or fire itself without the aid of a human. Don’t be that human. Before you squeeze the trigger, ask yourself, have I clearly identified my target, and do I know where the bullet is going to go? Because once you pull the trigger, there is no calling back that shot; it is going to go until it hits something solid. While you can’t control other people, or predict that “bolt out of the blue,” you can take steps to help ensure that careless hunters don’t mistake you for game. Make sure you wear plenty of hunter orange, including a hat or cap, and especially carry a flashlight to light your way going into and out of the woods. In both states, the hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset, from “can-see to can’t see,” so hunters will definitely be moving around in the woods in the dark. The flashlight is not so much to light your path but to identify you as a human, because the last time I checked deer don’t carry flashlights. Ironically, the age group most likely to be involved in hunting incidents is the 40-plus segment. This may be because there are fewer young hunters these days, but I choose to believe that a lifetime of bad, unsafe habits eventually catches up to a person – you may get away with being unsafe once or twice, or even a dozen times, but eventually it comes back to bite you. Many people heading out into the woods the next few weeks haven’t been out in the woods since this time last year, make sure you know your limitations and always keep safety in mind. As always, if you get the opportunity, make sure to safely introduce a new hunter to the experience. Jim Freeman is the wildlife specialist for the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District.

Hawk, in presenting the checks to Morgan Russell and Taylor Rowe, stressed that the boosters are proud of “all our student-athletes” and reminded the audience that “one of the main goals of the boosters is to promote and encourage academic and athletic achievement.” More than 300 meals were served and the cafeteria was packed with families of the student athletes. Hawk thanked all those who were instrumental in putting the banquet together and to all those who attended. “We have had a great fall sports season, and the turnout here tonight tells me that we are moving in the right direction.

Josh Gordon is excited to be playing anywhere. Somehow tied for first in their division despite a losing record, the Falcons will be back at the Georgia Dome for the first time in six weeks when they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Gordon, who led the league with 1,646 yards receiving a year ago, is making his season debut for the Browns after serving a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy. “I’m very ready,” Gordon said. “I had a long time to get ready for it.” The Falcons (4-6) climbed to the top of the anemic NFC South with two straight wins. They have not played a true home game since losing to the Chicago Bears on Oct. 12, and this will be only their second appearance at the Georgia Dome in a span of 66 days. “I’ve got to make sure I know how to get there,” Atlanta coach Mike Smith quipped. The schedule turns in the Falcons’ favor the rest of the way, with four of their last six games at home. “We’re taking it week by week,” running back Steven Jackson said. “We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves.” The NFC South is a laughingstock around the rest of the league, but the Falcons are making no apologies for being in position to make the playoffs despite being 0-6 against teams outside their division. Compare that with the Browns (6-4), who have a better record but two teams ahead of them in the tightly bunched AFC North. If the playoffs began today, the Falcons would be in. The Browns would be out. “It doesn’t matter,” Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan said. “We’ve got everything in front of us. We’re not worried about what people say.” Gordon may be rusty, but he figures to play a huge role right away. Just look at what happened last season, when he returned from a two-game suspension and was targeted 19 times by quarterback Brian Hoyer. In practice this week, Hoyer was locked in on his favorite receiver. “I just wanted to make sure I was in the best shape of my life and try to come out without missing a beat,” Gordon said. First-year coach Mike Pettine cautioned that the Browns have to be sure they don’t give Gordon more than he can handle. He’s familiar with some of the terminology in the playbook, but recognizing defenses could take some time. “The trap to fall into is, ‘Hey, he’s back, let’s just go ahead and throw him out there for a bunch of plays,’” Pettine said. “There is certainly danger inherent in doing that. We have to be smart with how we do it.” The Browns are trying to win two straight road games for the first time since 2008. They have to beat a team that is eager to make a good impression on the home folks. “I can’t wait to get to the Dome on Sunday,” Ryan said. “I’m sure it will be rockin’.” Here are some other things to watch for when the Falcons take on the Browns: BROWNS BACKS: Cleveland released disgruntled running back Ben Tate, who was unhappy with his role after carrying only two times in a 23-7 loss to Houston. The Browns are now going with a pair of rookie backs, including one who is familiar to fans in this part of the country. Isaiah Crowell started his college career at Georgia, but was kicked off the team. He has gained 358 yards and leads Cleveland with five rushing touchdowns. The Browns will also use Ter- rance West, who has 408 yards rushing. AGELESS BRYANT: One of Atlanta’s biggest weapons is 39-year-old kicker Matt Bryant, who is 16 of 18 on field goal attempts, his only misses from 57 and 59 yards. He’s made four field goals each of the past two weeks, including a gamewinner against Carolina. RUN, FALCONS, RUN: The Falcons haven’t had much success on the ground, ranking 24th in the league at 96.1 yards per game. This should be a chance to improve those numbers. Cleveland is 30th overall against the run, surrendering an average of more than 142 yards. INJURY WOES: The Browns’ defense took a couple of big hits with injuries to starting linebackers Karlos Dansby (knee) and Jabaal Sheard (foot). Dansby could be out up to a month, depriving Cleveland of its leading tackler. The Browns will get no sympathy from the Falcons, who have lost five offensive linemen, defensive leader Sean Weatherspoon, and special teams ace Antone Smith to season-ending injuries. SPREADING IT AROUND: Even though Julio Jones and Roddy White draw much of the attention, Ryan has thrown touchdown passes to nine players. HOUSTON (AP) — Andy Dalton doesn’t have many good memories of playing in his hometown since being drafted in 2011. The Cincinnati quarterback is 0-3 against the Texans, including two playoff losses in Houston. It’s something that will certainly be on his mind when he and the Bengals meet the Texans on Sunday. Being ousted from the postseason twice by Houston in his short career adds extra motivation this week. “Yeah, it is,” he said. “Obviously when you go home, you want to play well. You want to get a win and all that kind of stuff. Losing in the playoffs a couple times there, it still does sit with you, so we’re going to come out and … do whatever we can to get a win.” The first playoff defeat came in a 31-10 win by Houston when he was a rookie in 2011. Dalton threw three interceptions in that game, including one that was returned by J.J. Watt 29 yards for a touchdown. “What he’s good at, he’s going up and batting balls down,” Dalton said of the play. “He made a good play.” The play helped Houston to its first playoff win in franchise history and was a breakout moment for Watt, who was also a rookie. Watt has since established himself as one of the best defensive players in the league and won Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2012. “Obviously that is kind of when whatever this is started,” Watt said. It’s become one of the most recognizable plays in the short history of this franchise and is played constantly on Houston highlight reels.

Here are some things to best moments of my Sunday, November 23, 2014 5B way, enter this spring as fourtime defending SEOAL champions – which is a first in the history of the 90-year league. “I think it’s a great move for Gallia Academy. I remember a few years ago, we were playing Warren on a Monday and Marietta on a Wednesday. That’s a nightmare, travel-wise, during the school week,” Corvin said. “I think the mentality was that if we joined the OVC, we would just go in and dominate because we were the big school. In reality, our numbers are dropping and I think it’s a good fit for us overall — rather it be a competition fit, a financial fit, a facility fit and it will probably be a good numbers fit after the next state enrollment numbers come out. “Our numbers in sports have been dropping of late. Success equals numbers and numbers equals dollars. I really think that the OVC can and will be a good thing for us. I’m a traditional guy and I know that the SEOAL means a lot to Gallipolis, but it seems to be a dying thing. In my opinion, this is the best move for the future of Gallia Academy.” Travel-wise, the move to the OVC makes sense – even though GAHS was already making some of these trips in non-league endeavors. Outside of Jackson (60 miles), Portsmouth is currently the shortest SEOAL drive for Gallia Academy at 106 miles round-trip. As a member of the OVC, the Trojans become the farthest league trip. Logan is 150 miles from the Old French City and Warren is 124 miles, which rounds out the travel in the SEOAL. Rock Hill becomes the quick OVC trip at 67 miles, followed by Fairland (77), Ironton (80), Coal Grove (81), Chesapeake (92), and South Point (103). A majority of the OVC programs have made major additions in the form of athletic facilities over the last decade, much the same as what the SEOAL schools have done in the same time frame. Joining the OVC doesn’t discredit anything that Gallia Academy has accomplished in the SEOAL, but simply allows the Blue Devils and Blue Angels to have another chance at even more accolades in the future. With the playing field being roughly the same between the two leagues, Donley noted afterwards that the time to make the move was now. “You can honor your past and memorialize in it ways and respect what we’ve done in the SEOAL. There are a lot of positive memories in this community, and we certainly understand that,” Donley said. “Things change, and in this case it is know about the BengalsTexans game: GREEN IS BACK: One of the lasting images from the Bengals’ 19-13 loss at Reliant Stadium in the 2012 playoffs was Dalton overthrowing an open A.J. Green in the end zone in the closing minutes. Green is having a subpar season because of an injured big right toe that sidelined him for three games and limited him in several others. He was back to form on Sunday with six receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. CUSHING FEELING BETTER: Houston linebacker Brian Cushing had going to be a positive change for our kids — and I think they are excited about it too. They are going to be able to make new memories, rather it be new league championships or new records that are broken. “We won’t forget what we’ve done in the SEOAL, and we do hope to carry on some of those traditions and rivalries, but we are excited about the possibilities that come with being the eighth member of the OVC. We are going to move on and do the best we can with this new opportunity.” The final decision was difficult for a lot of the people responsible for making it, most of whom grew up and participated in the SEOAL when they were athletes in high school. Current athletic director Brent Simms – who also won an SEOAL championship as the head wrestling coach in 2011 – noted that he hated seeing this day in a lot of ways. Personal feelings aside, however, he also knows that the move is a necessity for the future of his alma mater. “I’ve played and coached in the SEOAL, so I’m an SEOAL guy. In some ways I’m not entirely excited about leaving, but I am very excited about our kids’ future — and the kids are excited about the move,” Simms said. “Our scheduling becomes a little easier and it also allows us to have a fresh start and build some excitement. “To our community’s credit, I didn’t know how we would receive this information. A few people hated it for historic reasons and others reserved their responses because we had been in the SEOAL for so long. I think, deep down, that a lot of people understand the logistics of what we’ve done. Hopefully 90 years from now, we can talk about what all Gallia Academy has accomplished as members of the OVC.” Knowing that GAHS now has to schedule three non-league football games instead of seven annually will be a big plus, as will having 14 games spoken for instead of six during a majority of the other sports. In the end, it was a nobrainer of a choice. Had Gallia Academy simply chose to cling to history – then it ran the possibility of becoming history itself. And in all reality, the competition won’t fall off — rather it be as a member of the SEOAL or the OVC. “We’ve put ourselves in a stable league with schools that have tremendous traditions,” Simms said. “We are going to go up against schools that have just recently competed in state tournaments in basketball and have won state titles in football, his best game of the season against the Browns after missing the previous two games with pain and swelling in his surgically repaired left knee. He forced a fumble, have five tackles and two quarterback hits in the win. RUNNING TIGERS: Cincinnati’s Jeremy Hill (second round) and Houston’s Alfred Blue (sixth round) were teammates at LSU before being drafted this year. They’ve both taken advantage of their opportunities with recent injuries to Giovani Bernard and Arian Foster. Hill has had more than 150 yards rushing in two as well as other great accomplishments in a variety of other sports. We have a chance to have a second coming here at Gallia Academy and build some great new traditions.” Gallia Academy still has to submit its official resignation to the SEOAL, which won’t happen until the December meeting — at earliest. GAHS – by league guidelines – will also have to go through one full school year in the SEOAL before that resignation kicks in. In attending the November SEOAL meeting just hours before making such a historic move, Simms noted that it was a tough day – both personally and professionally – to sit with the reps from Jackson, Logan and Warren without knowing what the future held. He also made it clear that those respected and time-honored friends didn’t have many negatives to fire back at GAHS – because they all collectively knew it was the right move to make. “It was heartbreaking in a lot of ways to sit in that SEOAL meeting, knowing that this might be the last time we come here as just members of that league. We did, however, have a chance to look eye-to-eye with those representatives, and they all completely understood what we were doing and why we were doing it,” Simms said. “It’s never easy to say goodbye to such dear friends and colleagues. In fact, it was almost like breaking up with a longtime girlfriend or boyfriend. It wasn’t easy, but it was what was best for our kids and our community for the years ahead. “We do want to wish nothing but the best for Jackson, Logan and Warren moving forward. I certainly hope things work out for each of them.” As of the end of the 2014 fall sports season, Gallia Academy has 84 boys and 33 girls championships during its 89-year run in the SEOAL — which is currently fourth-best alltime in league history. Those 117 titles trail only Athens, Logan and Marietta, while Warren and Jackson respectively round out the top six spots. NOTES: The Gallipolis City School BOE voted to go into executive session on some documented personnel matters just before the conclusion of Wednesday night’s meeting, therefore Superintendent Roger Mace, President Robert Cornwell and the rest of the Board were unavailable for comment on the matter. … Gallia Academy is officially scheduled to begin play in the OVC during the fall of 2016.

MALLETT’S MOMENT: After rarely seeing the field as Tom Brady’s backup in New England, Ryan Mallett got his moment in his first career start on Sunday. Mallett threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns and the Texans raved about his confidence and poise in leading the team. Mallett was selected as the starter after veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick was benched during the bye. Land (Acreage) Apartments/Townhouses Apartments/Townhouses Lease Livestock Hunters-Gallia Co.

PVH was recognized as part of The Joint Commission’s 2014 annual report “America’s Hospitals: Improving Quality and Safety” for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance for pneumonia and surgical care. PVH is one of 1,224 hospitals in the United States to achieve the 2013 Top Performer distinction. The Top Performer program recognizes hospitals for improving performance on evidence-based interventions that increase the chances of healthy outcomes for patients with certain conditions including heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, surgical care, children’s asthma, stroke, venous thromboembolism and perinatal care, as well as inpatient psychiatric services and immunizations. This is the second consecutive year PVH has been recognized as a Top Performer. PVH was recognized in 2013 for its performance on accountability measure data for pneumonia and surgical care. PVH is one of only 712 hospitals to achieve the Top Performer distinction for the past two consecutive years. To be a 2013 Top Performer, hospitals must meet three performance criteria based on 2013 accountability measure data including:Achieving cumulative performance of 95 percent or above across all reported accountability measures; Achieving performance of 95 percent or above on each and every reported accountability measure where there were at least 30 denominator cases; and Having at least one core measure set that had a composite rate of 95 percent or above, and (within that measure set) all applicable individual accountability measures had a performance rate of 95 percent or above. “Delivering the right treatment in the right way at the right time is a cornerstone of high-quality health care. I commend the efforts of PVH for their excellent performance on the use of evidence-based interventions,” said Dr. Mark R. Chassin, president and CEO of The Joint Commission. “We understand that what matters most to paitents at PVH is safe, effective medical care. That’s why PVH has made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes. PVH is proud to be named a Top Performer as it recognizes the knowledge, teamwork and dedication of our entire hospital staff,” Washington said. PVH is a partner of Cabell Huntington Hospital and the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicne. For more information about the Top Performer program, visit http:// www.jointcommission.org/accreditation/top_performers.aspx. ny. The American Degree is the highest degree awarded to an FFA member. This year, the Gallipolis FFA had four recipients of the degree. Those members were Cody Call, Jimmy Clagg, Chris Elliott and Briggs Shoemaker. FFA members were accompanied by Jerrod Ferguson from Gallia Academy. LIVESTOCK REPORT GALLIPOLIS — United Producers, Inc., livestock report of sales from Nov. 19, 2014.

Tawney started filming the games in 1962, under coach Jack Olcott and finished 13 coaches later, ending with coach Mike Eddy. Fifty years later, upon Tawney’s retirement from filming, he continues to enjoy working every day at Tawney Jewelers & Studio at 422 Second Ave. in downtown Gallipolis. His father, Max Tawney, started the Studio in Gallipolis in 1933, at 33 Court St. This year marks the 81st anniversary of the familyowned business. Tawney said it was amazing that he filmed some of today’s football players’ grandparents, who played in the early 1960s. The plaque was presented by the Southeast District Athletic Board and given to Tawney by one of the coaches, for whom he filmed 1983-97 and 19992001, Coach Brent Saunders. Tawney also received recognition from State Senator Bob Peterson, 17th Senate District; President of the Ohio Senate, Tom Niehaus; Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, William G. Batchelder and Ohio Representative Ryan Smith, House District 93. Tawny said it would not have been possible without the help and support of many people. Among those he mentioned was Dan Brisker, Southeast Ohio Athletic League secretary, who was instrumental in getting Tawny recognized for his service.

Treating varicose and spider veins will ensure that healthy veins are doing the important work of carrying blood back to the heart for oxygen.” Faber said he is committed to offering patients minimally invasive treatments for a variety of venous diseases, and has the skills, experience and technology necessary to provide comprehensive treatment for virtually any disease of the veins. His advanced medical treatments for varicose veins include endovenous laser ablation, ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy, and ambulatory microphlebectomy.
