Rio business
school holds
visitation day
Staff Report

RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio
Grande’s Emerson E. Evans School of Business
recently hosted its eighth annual School of Business Visitation Day. More than 200 students from
local high schools attended the event.
This year, six high schools participated in the
day’s event: Gallia Academy, South Gallia, River
Valley, Wellston, Vinton County and defending
champion Green.
“There was a tremendous turnout for the event
this year. It was the largest number of students
we have ever had,” said Dr. Wesley Thoene, URG
marketing professor and director of the day.
“Every year, the event seems to grow and get better.”
The theme for this year’s competition was “Suit
Up.” Teams of students competed in a business
competition in which they were able to improve
their marketing, management and information
technology skills.
“Students get to sharpen their skills. During the
day, they get to compete against their peers as well
as other schools. They are able to get real-world
experience at presenting in a business setting,”
Thoene said. “We are able to bring potential Rio
students to the see everything we have to offer.”

THEIR VIEW

Of love and
gratitude
By Daris Howard

For Ohio Valley Publishing

Sally had been married for seven years, and all she
wanted was to be a mother. Only a few months after
she was married, she had prepared a nursery for the
baby she dreamed of having.
But the years passed, and no baby came. She spent
lots of money on doctors and specialists, but the final
verdict was that she would never be able to have a
baby. She had spent the last seven years praying for a
child, and now that she felt God had abandoned her,
she, in her bitterness, abandoned him.
She watched a news report of a young, teenage
mother who had a baby she didn’t want and left it to
die, and resentment began to grow in Sally’s heart.
How could God be so unjust? She knew she could
have given that child the love her empty arms ached
to give.
Feeling the way she did, Sally refused to attend her
family’s Thanksgiving gathering. In her heart she felt
there was nothing left to be thankful for. Then, a few
days after Thanksgiving, a knock came on her door.
There stood a young woman who was obviously pregnant.
The young lady introduced herself as Amanda, and
said, “I’m expecting a baby next month, and I am
trying to find a good mother for her. Different people
I know gave me some names, and of those, I felt to
come here.”
“Why?” Sally asked.
“I know I can’t take care of her the way she needs to
be taken care of,” Amanda said. “But I want to make
sure the mother she goes to will love her like I do.”
“And how are you going to do that?”
“If you will accept me into your home, I will see
how you live and what you are like.”
The thought passed through Sally’s mind that this
girl was only trying to find a free place to live, and
that when the time came, she wouldn’t actually give
up her baby. She had heard of such things. Perhaps
this girl would just rob them, or even murder them in
their sleep. Sally had so many bad thoughts, but still,
she found herself saying yes.
Sally set up a bedroom for Amanda and helped her
settle in. When Sally’s husband came home, he was
surprised to find out about the new arrangement, but
agreed to it. As the days passed, Sally learned more
about Amanda. She had grown up in a good home,
but she had made some bad decisions. She had lived
with the baby’s father until he learned she was pregnant, and then he threw her out.
Social Services had worked out for a couple to
adopt her baby, but she insisted on meeting them
first. When she did, she felt they were not the ones
she wanted to raise her daughter.
As the days grew into weeks, Sally found herself
loving this wayward young woman. She realized that
Amanda had a good heart and truly loved her baby.
Sally wondered if Amanda would really be able to give
her daughter up when it was time.
The day eventually came that Sally was rushing
Amanda to the hospital. After many hours of hard
labor, a sweet little girl was placed in Amanda’s arms.
Amanda cried and said, “My sweet little angel, I have
chosen a mother for you who will help you understand
that I am not giving you up because I don’t love you,
but because I do. I chose someone who will love you
as I do, but can give you the life I can’t.”
Amanda cuddled her little daughter close for some
time, crying while she did, but finally she handed the
baby to Sally.
“What will you name her?” Amanda asked.
“I think I will name her ‘Angel Amanda’,” Sally said.
And through the years, as Angel grew, Sally’s heart
was always full of gratitude, not only for the child she
had received, but for a young woman who taught her
what love really is.

of a description of 19th century
conditions in Britain: “The people
who lived in these slums were
often described as more like animals than human beings.”
For example, in an 1889 essay in
The Palace Journal, Arthur Morrison described, “Dark, silent, uneasy
shadows passing and crossing —
human vermin in this reeking sink,
like goblin exhalations from all that
is noxious around. Women with
sunken, black-rimmed eyes, whose
pallid faces appear and vanish by
the light of an occasional gas lamp,
and look so like ill-covered skulls
that we start at their stare. ‘Proper’
people of that era had both a disgust and fascination for those who
lived in these untouchable realms.
They went slumming into the poor
neighborhoods, a sort of poverty
tourism that is the equivalent of
today’s reality TV or the brawlers
that appear on ‘The Jerry Springer
Show.’”
To be fair, later in the column it
becomes clear that Brooks doesn’t
buy this as a valid comparison
with our own times. But that begs
the question, why did he attempt
it? Not only does it come across
as grossly racist, but also he is
grossly mistaken to assume that

class, not race, explains the divide
in our country between white and
black. Most, if not all, of the latent
classism in our country originates
in the kind of institutionalized racism that the tragedy of Ferguson
has brought into sharp relief.
I know a little more than I want
to about Brooks’s tone-deafness
because I happen to be a privileged white who attended elite
schools and colleges. I cringe
when I look back at my experience
at Princeton in the late 1950s: my
class (in the sense of the year I
graduated, but the other meaning
works too) included one AfricanAmerican, and we were served
daily in our dining commons by
young black waiters in white coats
whose service we took so completely for granted that their invisibility to us future Masters of the
Universe was total.
I remember attending a party in
Princeton where a distinguished
alum had recently returned from
a diplomatic posting in an African country. His jolly, oblivious
stereotyping of the native peoples
where he had served was such
a Faulknerian caricature that it
would have been laughable if it
hadn’t felt so sad and dangerous. I
also recall slowly awakening to the
challenge of making connections
across the divide of our racially
split culture when I read John
Howard Griffin’s classic “Black
Like Me,” published in 1961, a
year before I graduated.
Griffin, a white, worked with a
doctor to chemically darken his
skin and immersed himself in a
six-week voyage through the Deep
South. The strain of the terror and
deprivation he endured simply surviving as a black man brought him

close to breakdown. White people
six decades later could do worse
than take another look at Griffin’s
harrowing tale as a way to learn
what it means to be on the receiving end of both passive stares
of exclusionary indifference and
active stares of hate and fear.
What happened between Darren Wilson and Michael Brown is
just one incident among so many
that exhibit to the world a toxic
mix of deep structural racism and
the casual escalation of violence
as a “solution” to conflict. Racism
shades into every aspect of American life, including the patronizing
and obstructive attitude of many
in the Congress toward the President, clearly to them a black man
who is too confidently sassy and
“uppity” to know his place.
It even extends to our international policies, where violence
toward others of swarthier skin
and alien creed is more often the
first resort than the last. Tragically and ironically, it therefore
implicates our own first AfricanAmerican president in the murderous, too-rapidly-escalating, international-law-violating vengefulness
that motivates our endless “war
on terror,” as our political Masters
of the Universe join the headlong
rush to create enemies faster than
we can kill them.
A single statistic utterly gives
the lie to the idea that change is
impossible in our country: Darren Wilson fired more shots into
Michael Brown than the entire
police in England and Wales fired
at people in 2013.

rallies to topple
RedStorm men
By Randy Payton

For Ohio Valley Publishing

PORTSMOUTH,
Ohio — For the second
time in five days, Shawnee State University
used a second half rally
to take down a member of the Kentucky
Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference.
After erasing a
seven-point deficit with
just over 12 minutes
remaining on Sunday at
Alice Lloyd College, the
Bears clawed their way
back from a 15-point
deficit in the opening
moments of the final
stanza on Wednesday
night to post an 81-76
victory over rival University of Rio Grande
at the Frank and Janis
Waller Gymnasium.
Shawnee State won
for the third straight

time on the heels of a
six-game losing streak,
improving to 4-6 overall. The victory also
snapped a three-game
losing streak against
the RedStorm.
Rio lost for the third
straight time, dropping
to 7-4 overall.
The RedStorm
appeared well on their
way to ending their
losing slide after a
three-pointer by freshman guard Will Hill
(Worthington, OH)
on the opening possession of the second
half made it 47-32 with
19:15 remaining in the
contest, but the Bears
reeled off 18 of the
game’s next 23 points
to pull within 52-50
after a steal and a layup

13:00 left.

defense ultimately led to

Peck was pleased with
how his troops responded
to a slow start in a hostile

environment. His first win
came in a style he wanted,
and he’s hoping that there
will be plenty more of
these in the months ahead.
“We struggled a little bit
in that first quarter, but
we came out and played
some shutdown defense
after that,” Peck said. “We
held them to two points in
the second quarter and 33
points over the last three
quarters, and that’s what
I want from these kids.
We’re going to be intense
and get after it, and we got
a good start in that direction tonight.

Raiders
“We had balanced scoring, we worked as a team and
we helped one another out. I want us to be a well-oiled
machine, and I’m proud of our guys and what they collectively showed tonight.”
River Valley connected on 22-of-48 field goal attempts
for 46 percent, including a 6-of-15 effort from three-point
range for 40 percent. The guests also outrebounded EHS by
a sizable 34-19 overall margin, including an 8-6 edge on the
offensive glass.
Twyman led the Raiders with a game-high 25 points, 16
of which came in the second half. Twyman also recorded a
game-high nine rebounds for the victors.
Justin Rusk was next with 12 points and a team-high
six assists, while Jon Qualls and Kirk Morrow respectively
added six and five markers to the winning cause. Jacob
Dovenbarger contributed five points, followed by Dayton
Hardway with four points and Cody Lee with two markers.
Austin NeeKamp and Hollis Morrison also had a point
apiece for the victors, who went 15-of-22 at the free throw
line for 68 percent. RVHS also committed 18 turnovers in
the contest.
On the other side of the spectrum, second-year EHS
coach Jeremy Hill acknowledged the Raiders’ effort as being
worthy of the win. He also noted that if his troops want to
be on the good side of these outcomes, some things will
have to get better.
“Give River Valley a ton of credit. They made some
adjustments after that first quarter and we didn’t handle
them very well,” Hill said. “Not making excuses, but we
got in some foul trouble and we needed our bench to sort
of step it up — and that didn’t happen. We cannot afford to
rely on three or four or five players, we need all 12 to contribute for us to be successful.
“We didn’t shoot the ball real well and we had a lot of silly
turnovers. We didn’t have a lot of turnovers, but the timing
of some of them were tough for us to overcome. If we’re
going to become a good ball club, those are the things that
we have to leave behind and make the other team earn it.”
The Eagles connected on 20-of-66 shot attempts for 30
percent, including a 3-of-20 effort from behind the arc for
15 percent. The hosts also committed 11 turnovers in the
setback, including just two in the second half and zero in
the fourth quarter.
Christian Speelman led EHS with 13 points, followed by
Dillon Swatzel with 10 points and a team-high six caroms.
Richmond was next with nine points, while Greyson Wolfe
and Jett Facemyer respectively added eight and six markers.
Ethan Steger and Andrew Stobart rounded out the scoring with three points apiece. The Eagles were 9-of-12 at the
charity stripe for 75 percent.

Larkin’s TDs get La Salle Layne’s return helps
off to fast start in D2
Bengals win D4 title
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Cincinnati
La Salle’s offensive players wanted the ball.
Then they did something with it.
First-team Associated Press All-Ohioan
Jeremy Larkin rushed for 104 yards and two
early touchdowns and La Salle’s defense
provided two scores in a 55-20 victory over
Macedonia Nordonia on Friday night in a
rainy Division II state championship game.
Larkin, a finalist for the AP Mr. Football
award, staked La Salle (14-1) to an early
14-3 lead and the Lancers never looked
back. Nick Watson and Jarell White ran for
touchdowns, while Avery Larkin returned
an interception 44 yards for a score and
John Junker blocked a punt and returned it
15 yards for a TD.
“Coming out of our chapel gathering on
Thursday, our offense called for the ball to
start the game,” Lancers coach Nate Moore
said. “We drove down the field and scored
and that was a huge momentum boost.”
La Salle was making its first trip to the
state finals.
“We spent the last 15 weeks holding it
together and now get to celebrate,” Moore
added.
All-stater David Murray threw two touchdown passes for Nordonia (14-1), now 0-2
in state title games.
The 55 points was a record for a Division
II championship game.
Late in the game, Nordonia freshman running back and linebacker Tye Evans — who
had caught a touchdown pass earlier — was
hurt while covering a kickoff. He was placed
on a backboard and a mobile cart while play-

The teams alternated
scoring all 10 touchdowns in the second half
— each a lead change.
There were numerous
records set in the backand-forth game.
“It was just like a great,

ers for both teams surrounded him.
He reportedly later said he had feeling in
his extremities.
La Salle was making just its fifth
trip to the playoffs. The Lancers, No. 3
in the final regular-season Associated
Press poll, played primarily Division I
teams this year. Their only loss was to
traditional Cincinnati power St. Xavier,
and their wins included victories over
Moeller, Colerain and Princeton.
Larkin, whose dad is a cousin of former
Reds shortstop and Hall of Famer Barry
Larkin, came in with 2,400 rushing yards
and 40 touchdowns. He was the co-offensive
player of the year in the division, a first-team
All-Ohioan and a finalist for the Ohio AP’s
Mr. Football award.
La Salle put the game away in the opening half.
Larkin rushed for 101 yards on 13 carries
and scored on runs of 4 and 45 yards. Watson completed 3 of 4 passes for 49 yards and
also ran for 40 yards and a score and White
rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown.
With Nordonia struggling to stay in the
game, the Lancers added a critical blow late
in the half.
Battling the clock in the final seconds,
Murray tossed a short throw to the left
sideline for Chase Ryba. But Avery Larkin,
a cousin of Jeremy Larkin’s, stepped in front
of the pass, bobbled it as he reached near his
knees to gather it, and then raced down the
sideline for a 44-yard score to make it 34-13.
On the opening series of the second half,
the Lancers added the ultimate blow.

old-fashioned heavyweight fight,” Athens
coach Ryan Adams said.
“It was whoever was left
standing at the end.”
Athens scored on all
five possessions after halftime, taking a 52-49 lead
on Trae Williams’ 2-yard
run with 2:52 left.
But the Fighting Irish
refused to fade away.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Defense
wins championships. Just ask the Benedictine Bengals.
First-team Associated Press AllOhioan Jerome Baker scored two touchdowns and Justin Layne returned an
interception for a score to lead Cleveland Benedictine to a 21-14 victory
over top-ranked Kettering Alter in the
Division IV state title game on Friday at
Ohio Stadium.
It was the seventh state crown for
the Bengals (13-2), ranked No. 4 in the
final regular-season AP poll.
“Somebody had mentioned 12
months ago the team goal,” Benedictine
coach Joe Schaefer said. “It wasn’t just
to play in this game, it was to win this
game. They’ve had a lot of pressure on
them. Every week that bull’s-eye, so to
speak, gets bigger and bigger. But it
never mattered to them. They just kept
showing up.”
Alex Pack and all-state QB Dusty
Hayes ran for touchdowns for Alter (141), making its fourth trip to the finals.
The Knights got the ball back after a
late fumble but a last-minute drive came
up empty when Hayes was stopped a
yard short on a fourth-down run under
pressure in Benedictine territory.
Baker, all-state as a linebacker who
rushed for 89 yards on 12 carries and
completed 2 of 3 passes, also had 11
tackles. He’s committed to Ohio State.
“Coach always told us to pride our-

They made good on two
fourth-down plays — one
of 8 yards at their own 29,
another on fourth-and-5 at
their own 47.
Winters, who completed 8 of 17 passes for 153
yards and two scores with
an interception, hit on a
36-yarder to Darion Greer
on one of the fourth-down
conversions.

Then the game came
down to a fourth-and-1
at the Athens 8 with 20
seconds left. Winters took
the snap and, following a
phalanx of blockers, sped
through a closing hole at left
end and into the end zone.
Athens tried to lateral
a Burrow completion on
the final play, but Williams was pushed out of
bounds.
Burrow threw touchdown passes of 54 and
40 yards to Ryan Luerhman and two 8-yarders to
his twin brother, Adam

Alter, stymied throughout the first
half while falling behind 14-0, threatened for much of the third quarter.
The Knights moved to a first down at
the Benedictine 16 before a drive died
due to a holding penalty.
Thanks to a short punt, the Knights
pulled even.
Taking over at the Bengals’ 30 after a
16-yard kick, they needed just two plays
with Hayes, who rushed for 79 yards on
19 attempts, making a deceptive fake
to Pack and then breaking free from a
scrum on a 28-yard scoring run to tie it
at 14 heading into the fourth quarter.
But the Bengals came right back.
Fueled by Baker’s 36-yard pass to
Layne, they moved to the Alter 14.
From there, Baker took a shotgun snap
and then read his blockers before turning up inside right end and powering
his way into the end zone at the 10:45
mark.
Alter was forced to punt on its next
two possessions, before first-team allstater Dontez Rash had the ball ripped
away by Deon Lemon, with Phillip
Drayton falling on it for the Knights at
his own 31.

EXTENSION CONNECTION

The great Christmas tree debate: Real or artificial?
By Marcus McCartney

For the Sunday Times-Sentinel

POMEROY — One great holiday
debate is which type of Christmas
tree is best: real or artificial.
Real trees have a very long and
significant history. The use of evergreen trees to celebrate the winter
season occurred before the birth of
Christ. The first decorated Christmas tree reportedly appeared in the
Baltic region of Latvia in northern
Europe around 1510. The first
printed reference to Christmas trees
appeared in Germany in 1531.
In the early 1900s, retail stores
began displaying big Christmas
trees and by 1933, Rockefeller
Center in New York City began its
Christmas tree tradition.
Artificial trees were first developed in Germany during the 19th
century. These trees were made

using goose feathers that were dyed,
attached to wire branches and then
wrapped around a central dowel rod.
In 1930, the U.S.-based Addis Brush
Co. created artificial trees using the
same machinery used to manufacture toilet brushes.
The popular mid-20th century
aluminum artificial Christmas trees
were first produced in Chicago in
1958. The aluminum tree popularity died down in the late 1960s;
however in recent years, collectors
have been buying and selling the
trees, especially on online auction
websites, which have created a small
re-emergence. Today, most artificial
trees are made from PVC plastic and
imported to the United States.
For myself, I grew up with an artificial Christmas tree, but for the past
eight years I went “real” and never
looked backed. The reason I never
looked back is there are economic,

social, environmental and safety
advantages to real Christmas trees
compared to artificial ones.
Buying a real Christmas can have
significant economic benefits. When
you buy a real tree, more often than
not, the tree comes from a local tree
farmer. Your money stays within the
community in which you live, making for a stronger community.
There are more than 15,000
Christmas tree farms in the U.S.,
with approximately 350 million
trees currently growing. In 2012,
24.5 million trees were sold with
a market value of $1.01 billion. A
majority of today’s artificial trees are
manufactured in foreign countries,
like Taiwan, Korea and China. China
itself manufactures 80 percent of the
worldwide demand.
Real Christmas trees have substantial environmental benefits as
well. On average, trees are harvested

“That was good,” he said. “You got to
see history in the making.”
For his 100th birthday, he boarded
an airplane for the first time when his
son, Charles, accompanied him during
an Honor Flight to Washington. It was
a free trip offered to veterans to see historic monuments. Carter said he really
enjoyed the trip and felt fortunate that
he was a part of the adventure.
Fellure said Carter’s mind is “as sharp
as a tack” and added that she “often
must rely on his memory when mine
does not always function.”
“He is one very unique man, neighbor, friend and father figure to Russell

patients to read. A new technology by
Accessamed will soon eliminate this
issue for Fruth’s patients.
Accessamed has developed a
digital audio label that will speak to
the patient. The label permanently
adheres to the prescription bottle or
package. A patient simply pushes a red
button on the new electronic label and
the instructions for taking the medicine will be provided to the patient in
a clear and robust voice. The digital

audio label does not require expensive
or complicated reading systems for
users. The printed label will also continue to be on the prescription bottle.
“We are excited to collaborate with
Fruth Pharmacy during this trial for
its visually impaired customers,” said
Carly Langdon, executive vice president of AccessaMed. “For the blind,
low vision and senior communities,
taking prescription medication can
often be an unnerving and unsafe
situation. We find it commendable
that Fruth recognizes this and is proactively finding the right solution for its
customers.”
Currently, this technology will only
be available at the Point Pleasant and
Charleston locations until further
notice. Contact your Fruth Pharmacy
for details.

Riverby Theatre Guild present ‘A Little Christmas Spirit’
Staff report
TDSnews@civitasmedia.com

GALLIPOLIS — The French
Art Colony’s Riverby Theatre
Guild will present the production of “A Little Christmas
Spirit” on Dec. 11-14.
The play tells the tale of
Horace Lattimer, who is missing his Christmas spirit …
literally. Horace has instructed

his housekeeper to keep Holly,
his Christmas spirit, locked
away so he can concentrate on
business matters — even if it
means not being happy.
Year after year, Horace has
refused to even speak to or
look at Holly. But this Christmas Eve is special. Horace’s
nephew and family arrive to
help the old man find many of
the emotions he has locked up

or forgotten. With holiday joy
and remembrances, the family
also hopes to rekindle their
son’s shaken faith.
Directed by Ron Siders, the
production is cast with several
local actors. The production
will be held in RTG Studio,
located at 59 Court St. in Gallipolis. New seating and additional renovations have taken
place in the space, thanks to a

grant from the Downtown Revitalization Project.
“A Little Christmas Spirit” is
sponsored by The French Art
Colony, Big Country 99.5, and
Sunny 93.1. Additional funding
for portions of the RTG 2014 was
received from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Ohio Arts
Council helped fund this program
with state tax dollars to encourage
economic growth, educational

excellence and cultural enrichment
for all Ohioans.
Public performances are 7 p.m.
Dec. 11-13, and 3 p.m. Dec. 14.
Tickets are $10 for adults and
$5 for students. Advance ticket
purchases are encouraged due to
limited seating.
Call the French Art Colony at
740-446-3834 for more information.
