Simmons, 84 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2013 Vol. 47, No. 46 $2.00 Man sentenced to 35 years for assaulting officer Defendant ran one of region’s largest-ever marijuana distribution conspiracies HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — An Ohio drug dealer who assaulted a West Virginia state trooper during a January 2012 traffic stop was sentenced this week to 35 years in federal prison for a large-scale marijuana distribution conspiracy, announced U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. Robin Earl Slater, 51, of Langsville, Ohio, previously pleaded guilty in August to four federal charges: conspiracy to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana; possession of firearms in furtherance of a marijuana conspiracy; being a convicted felon in possession of firearms; and obstruction of justice. The massive marijuana conspiracy was discovered in the traffic stop in which Slater attacked the state trooper. Slater’s sentence was handed down by Chief United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers in Huntington. Slater’s sentence is the longest in recent memory in a marijuana conspiracy case in the Southern District of West Virginia. Slater conspired to distribute between 3,000 and 10,000 kilograms of marijuana by supplying the drug to lower-level dealers in Putnam and Kanawha counties, as well as out of state. On January 23, 2012, a West Virginia state trooper followed Slater’s vehicle into a store parking lot in St. Albans, W.Va., after observing the defendant commit several moving violations. During the traffic stop, Slater, who had six firearms, nearly $25,000 cash, and drug ledgers in his car, made a violent attempt to flee. He bit the state trooper on the arm, inflicting a deep wound, and then pepper sprayed him. Police ultimately were able to restrain Slater and arrest him. The evidence that they recovered from his car allowed them to crack his distribution ring. U.S. Attorney Goodwin said, “Mr. Slater’s attack on a state trooper was a brazen and dangerous attempt to protect his drug enterprise. We’ve seen far too many law enforcement tragedies in situations like this: routine encounters that quickly turn violent.” Goodwin continued, “Law enforcement officers risk their lives every day to keep the rest of us safe. I will continue to spare no effort in prosecuting anyone who attacks them.” Slater told police that the money he had was from individuals See ASSAULT | A2 Photo courtesy of the Gallipolis Police Department The Gallipolis Police Department is searching for a suspect, shown here, in connection with the robbery on the Ohio Valley Bank branch inside Walmart on Thursday evening. OVB branch robbed; suspect sought Photos by Charlene Hoeflich | Sunday Times-Sentinel Pomeroy village workers brought in the Christmas tree which was donated anonymously. A Christmas tree for Pomeroy Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A 22-foot pine tree donated to Pomeroy village was erected near the parking lot stage area Friday — the first Christmas tree Pomeroy has had in many years. Plans call for the tree lighting to take place on Sunday, Dec. 1, at 4 p.m. following the 2 p.m. parade and the Santa festivities which will be taking place afterwards. “The village needs a Christmas tree,” said Mayor Jackie Welker, “and now we have one.” The tree was anonymously donated, he added. Village workers selected it from several offered, cut it down, and hauled it into town where it was put in a tub of water located near the flag pole at the stage. Lights and colorful garlands will be used to decorate the tree which will have at either side smaller trees to be decorated by children. Students of Bobbi Owen, art teacher at Meigs Elementary School, have made ornaments to be placed on the smaller trees. That will take place following the parade. Boxes of the ornaments will be brought to an area near the trees and the children who made them as well as other children attending the festivities are invited to help in decorating the smaller Christmas trees.

Assault Suspect From Page A1 to whom he had supplied marijuana. Slater also admitted that he possessed firearms to protect himself and the proceeds of his drug activity. The defendant had two prior felony drug convictions related to the distribution of marijuana. Slater was released on bond from his initial state charges prior to being indicted on federal charges. In August 2012, Slater, while a fugitive on the federal charges, again attempted to flee a traffic stop, led police in Pulaski, Ky., on a high-speed chase over several miles, at one point nearly striking a police officer on the side of the road. Chief United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers said at sentencing that Slater was a “danger to law enforcement,” and further stated that the severe sentence was, in part, to punish Slater for putting law enforcement at risk – both when he initially assaulted a West Virginia state trooper and when he fled from police at high speeds in Kentucky. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods. Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime in the United States by networking existing local programs targeting gun crime. The West Virginia State Police, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Homeland Security Investigations and the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Steven Loew handled the prosecution. From Page A1 During the hearing before Judge D. Dean Evans, Howell’s bond was set at $20,000, own recognizance, with an additional bond of $1,500, 10 percent. A negotiated plea agreement in this case may be filed by February 14. A jury trial has been scheduled for March 4. According to the Clerk of Courts online docket, Howell was released on bond from the Gallia County Jail on Friday.

S. Rettos, DO, a beloved and respected family physician. Dr. Rettos began a new phase in her career November 11 when she joined Athens Medical Associates (AMA), the physician group of O’Bleness Health System. She made the move to better serve her patients and cope with the changing healthcare landscapes. “This new appointment represents a combination of everything I have done in the past because it allows me to teach young physicians in the O’Bleness Family Medicine Residency Program and do what I love most of all: seeing patients,” Dr. Rettos said. Dr. Rettos arrives at AMA from her private practice, Athens Health Solutions, 86 Columbus Circle, Suite 203, where she will continue to see patients. In her new role, she also will supervise and train physicians as parttime program director of the O’Bleness Family Medicine Residency Program. “Dr. Rettos is a wonderful addition to our growing primary care group,” said Mark Rothstein, MD, medical director of AMA. “Also I believe she will positively impact the level of care at our family medicine residency clinics, ensuring an exceptional educational experience for our young physicians. She is known for her dedication to her patients and her compassionate bedside manner. She will be a key figure in the growth of our primary care service.” A 2004 graduate of the Ohio University Heritage College of Somber nation marks 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death rain during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Kennedy statue on the front lawn of the Statehouse. The statue, dedicated in 1990, has been largely off-limits to public viewing since security procedures put in place after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But the area was opened to visitors Friday. Both of Kennedy’s grandfathers served in the Massachusetts Legislature and in January 1961 the presidentelect came to the Statehouse to deliver one of his most famous addresses, which came to be known as the “City on a Hill” speech, just before leaving for his inauguration in Washington. The quiet remembrance extended across the Atlantic Ocean to Kennedy’s ancestral home in Ireland. Earlier Thursday in Dublin, a half-dozen Irish soldiers toting guns with brilliantly polished bayonets formed a guard of honor outside the U.S. Embassy as the American flag was lowered to halfstaff. An Irish army commander at the embassy drew a sword and held it aloft as a lone trumpeter played “The Last Post,” the traditional British salute to war dead. A bagpiper played laments including “Amazing Grace.” A U.S. Marine raised the flag again as the bugler sounded an upbeat “Reveille.” More than a dozen retired Irish army officers who, as teenage cadets, had formed an honor guard at Kennedy’s graveside gathered in the front garden of the embassy in the heart of the Irish capital to remember the first IrishAmerican to become leader of the free world. Together with Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore and embassy staff, they observed a minute’s silence and laid two wreaths from the Irish and American governments in memory of JFK. The former cadets invited by Jacqueline Kennedy to serve as the graveside honor guard described the awe — and fear — they experienced as they traveled to the United States 50 years earlier. “We were young guys, all pretty much 18. We had no passports, no visas. None of us had flown before,” said retired Col. Brian O’Reilly, 68. “We were told on the Saturday night we were wanted for the funeral. The next day, we were on the plane with our own president (Eamon de Valera) heading for Washington.” The day of the funeral was crisp and windless, with trees full of autumn leaves and a cloudless blue sky, the sun blindingly low on the horizon. tients before we send them to a specialist.” Dr. Rettos became a physician after a distinguished career in nursing. She earned an associate degree in registered nursing from Ohio University, Zanesville in 1984 and a bachelor of science in nursing from Ohio University, Athens in 1988. She was a nurse manager at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Zanesville, Ohio, an adjunct faculty member in allied medicine at Columbus State Community College, and nursing supervisor at Ohio University Medical Center. “I give personalized care while communicating effectively with my patients providing them with the time they need,” she said. “I think my background in nursing makes me a better physician. It gave me the experience in bedside care that helped me build a more personal connection with my patients. It made me keenly aware of the need for more efficiency, warmth and access in the healthcare environment.” She sees her involvement in the family medicine residency program as a way to address the primary care shortage in southeastern Ohio and throughout the state. “My hope is that many or our residents can start building a practice before they even get out of residency, and stay in the area where they started.” Dr. Rettos is a member of numerous professional organizations and active in several volunteer groups. She has received many awards as a physician, nurse and educator. The Ohio Chapter of the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians named her its Young Family Physician of the Year in 2009. -,î��îE@î:?E6CG6?6î:?î82Jî>2CC:286î42D6 CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The West Virginia Attorney General’s Office said in a motion Friday that it wants to defend in federal court the state’s ban on same-sex marriage. New York-based gay rights group Lambda Legal contends West Virginia’s Defense of Marriage Act violates the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Huntington in October on behalf of three same-sex couples and the child of one couple. The lawsuit says the Kanawha and Cabell county clerks denied the six adults marriage licenses under the state law, and that effectively denies them many benefits that could make their lives easier. Those include shared health insurance, reduction of tax liabilities, family leave, caretaking decision power and death benefits. The lawsuit did not name any state officials as defendants. A judge had previously given Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick an extension on filing a response to the lawsuit so that Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s office could determine whether it was going to intervene. McCormick’s petition seeking more time noted that the case involves a constitutional issue that “will have far ranging effects for each and every citizen of the state of West Virginia,” and for the 55 county clerks who currently are required to refuse marriage licenses to same-sex couples. It also said she has no discretion on whether to grant marriage licenses and no expertise on the legal issues at hand. Morrisey’s filing notes that state agencies enforce or otherwise execute the laws in question. Morrisey’s decision comes days after Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation allowing same-sex weddings to begin in that state this summer, making it the 16th overall to legalize gay marriage. Lambda Legal argues West Virginia’s ban unfairly discriminates against same-sex couples and their children. In addition to its own ban, the state doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages that occurred in other states. The organization says its clients are denied the legal sanction, societal respect, financial protections and other support that marriage gives to heterosexual couples. The plaintiffs are partners Casie McGee and Sarah Adkins, and Justin Murdock and Will Glavaris, all of Huntington, and Nancy Michael and Jane Fenton, of St. Albans, and their son, Drew Lambda Legal filed a similar lawsuit challenging Virginia’s gay marriage ban in September. UK police: Three women were slaves ‘in simple terms’ LONDON (AP) — Three women who were freed from a London home after 30 years had been allowed outside in “carefully controlled circumstances” during their ordeal but were victims of “slavery, in simple terms,” a senior British police officer said Friday. Commander Steve Rodhouse described a “complicated and disturbing picture of emotional control over many years” in the case of the women, declining to say how they wound up in the south London home. Two suspects, a man and a woman, were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of forced labor and domestic servitude. He said investigators are trying to figure out “what were the invisible handcuffs that were used” to exert such control for the 30 years the women were allegedly held captive and subject to physical, mental and emotional abuse. “It is not as brutally obvious as women being physically restrained inside an address and not being allowed to leave,” Rodhouse said. “This may have appeared to be a normal family.” The disclosure Thursday that a 69-year-old Malaysian, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old Briton were freed after apparently spending 30 years in captivity prompted a flurry of speculation and questions about how such a tragedy escaped notice for so long. The arrests were made after the Irish woman phoned a charity last month to say she was being held against her will along with two others. The charity engaged in a series of secretive conversa- tions with the women and contacted police. Two of the women eventually left the house, and police rescued the third. The case has sent shockwaves throughout Britain and around the world, but is the latest horrifying case of a broader phenomenon that officials warn is still happening — and on the rise. “Cases of modern slavery are becoming more prevalent in Europe,” said Rob Wainwright, director of Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency. “Unfortunately, it remains a low priority for many national police authorities. Europol is committed to fostering stronger international police action in this area and to raising greater levels of public attention.” Since the most recent expansions of the EU and the lifting of restrictions on employment in many countries, instances of situations which amount to forced labor have increased, Europol says. Anti-slavery charity The Walk Free Foundation last month released a global index that estimated that more than 29 million people live in some form of modern slavery — which can take the form of domestic servitude, forced marriages, child trafficking and forced labor. While the index found that Africa and Asia are home to the vast majority of modern slaves, it estimated that there are up to 4,600 slaves in the U.K. — a country which had the lowest estimated prevalence of slavery in a ranking of 162 countries. Fiona David, of Walk Free, said Friday that the most recent case in London highlights that slavery can be perpetrated by “just people living in the neighborhood,” not necessarily “organized criminals.” The suspects — both 67 — have also been questioned on suspicion of immigration offenses, police said. Regarding their identity, police would only say that the suspects were not British and had been in the country for “many years.” They would not elaborate on the pair’s nationalities, but did note that both had been arrested in the 1970s. Police did not say why. Both suspects have been released on bail, having surrendered their passports and agreed not to return to their house as part of their bail conditions. Police say they do not believe there are other victims in the case, and they are confident that they know the true identities of the three women. The relationships among the women — and between the women and the suspects — are under investigation, police said. “Whilst we do not believe that they have been subjected to sexual abuse, we know that there has been physical abuse, described as beatings,” said Kevin Hyland, head of the Metropolitan Po- lice’s human trafficking unit. He and Rodhouse defended the lapse in time between Oct. 25 — when the women gained freedom — and the arrests, saying that the case is complicated and investigators must be careful to ensure they do not further traumatize the victims as they unravel the events of the past 30 years. Hyland also urged patience as the case unfolds, noting that officers must sift through 55 bags of evidence seized in a search of the home, interview several people and follow up numerous strands. Police noted that the case was “unique” not least because of the length of women’s ordeal, though the U.K. has seen a string of high-profile slavery cases in recent years. Last month, an 84-year-old man was jailed for repeatedly raping a deaf and mute girl he trafficked into Britain from Pakistan and kept as a virtual slave. Police in Wales have arrested at least seven people in recent months as part of a long-running investigation into a suspected slavery ring there.

Kennedy 50 years after the young, handsome president was gunned down in an open-top limousine. A half-century later, the assassination still stirs quiet sadness in the baby boom generation that remembers it as the beginning of a darker, more cynical time. The anniversary ceremonies reflected that solemnity, with moments of silence, speeches by historians and, above all, simple reverence for a time and a leader long gone. “A new era dawned and another waned a half-century ago, when hope and hatred collided right here in Dallas,” Mayor Mike Rawlings said at the largest memorial service, in Dealey Plaza, the scene of the Nov. 22, 1963, shooting. “We watched the nightmarish reality in our front yard. Our president had been taken from us, taken from his family, taken from the world.” Rawlings told about 5,000 people gathered under gray skies in near-freezing temperatures that the slaying prompted Dallas to “turn civic heartbreak into hard work” and helped the city to mature. Kennedy “and our city will forever be linked in tragedy, yes,” he said. “But out of tragedy, an opportunity was granted to us how to face the future when it’s the darkest and uncertain.” Rawlings unveiled a plaque with remarks Kennedy was supposed to deliver later that day in Dallas. His remarks were followed a mournful tolling of bells and a moment of silence. The plaza includes the Texas School Book Depository building, where sniper Lee Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor above the president’s motorcade. A stage for the memorial ceremony, just south of the depository building, was backed with a large banner showing Kennedy’s profile. Video screens showed images of Kennedy with his family. Shortly after sunrise, Attorney General Eric Holder paid his respects at Kennedy’s recently refurbished grave at Arlington National Cemetery, where a British cavalry officer stood guard, bagpipes played and a flame burned steadily as it has for the last half-century. About an hour later, Jean Kennedy Smith, 85, the last surviving Kennedy sibling, laid a wreath at her brother’s grave, joined by about 10 members of the Kennedy family. They clasped hands for a short, silent prayer and left roses as a few hundred onlookers watched. In Dallas, the bitter weather was far different from the bright sunshine that filled the day Kennedy died. “President Kennedy has always been kind of revered in our family,” Colleen Bonner, 41, of suburban Hurst, said. “I just wanted to honor his memory, and I wanted to be a part of history.” In a nod to Kennedy’s military service, the U.S. Naval Academy Men’s Glee Club sang at the ceremony, but an Air Force flyover was canceled because of the weather. In Boston, Gov. Deval Patrick and Maj. Gen. Scott Rice of the Massachusetts National Guard endured a heavy Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Rettos completed residency programs in family medicine and neuromuscular medicine at O’Bleness. She and her husband Christopher, a physical therapist, opened their private practice five years ago. Her popularity reflects a practice philosophy that supports active engagement of patients in their care and responds to their preferences. She views the family physician as the “gatekeeper” to medical specialists and resources. ”The patient needs someone trying to keep everything together for them in the middle of all these specialists,” she said. “It is nothing for me to receive a call from a patient seeking an opinion about which direction they should take in their treatment.

It was rewarding to watch students touch and fold the American Flag and to address the foundation and purpose for Veteran’s Day. Today, both prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance have been taken out of schools and as a veteran and proud American, this saddens me. I believe Veteran’s Day is about our WWII Veterans. They are now in their late 80s and 90s. These veterans respected their President, the American Flag, and their country. Though they may never speak of it, those men and women remember every day of their military experience. We are losing our WWII veterans in greater numbers as time goes on. These are our true veterans; the reason for Veteran’s Day. In the month of November, three veterans, Jack Lewis, Jay Lance, and John Bailey, were granted a trip to Washington DC to see the War Memorial on an honor flight. The flight is free to all Veterans, with or without war experience. Those interested should contact your VA Service Office, JoAnn Newsome, or me. We will help those interested make arrangements. Please take advantage of this distinguished opportunity for it is both free of charge and rewarding. John Hood Commander, Drew Webster Post 39 American Legion JFK’s death overshadowed Ohio nursing home fire John Seewer $2/��==9-3+>/.� </== TOLEDO, Ohio — While a restless nation slept in the hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, flames tore through a nursing home in rural northern Ohio, killing 63 people in what remains one of the worst such fires in U.S. history. Many victims had been restrained to their beds or trapped behind wheelchairs that were too wide for the exits. Investigators later blamed faulty wiring and found the nursing home didn’t have an evacuation plan. Overshadowed by the shooting in Dallas 50 years ago and largely forgotten today, the deadly fire along with a string of other nursing home fires in the 1960s helped bring about better federal and state oversight and uniform safety rules for the industry. Until then, inspections and regulations left to the states were inconsistent, and there were no requirements for sprinklers, fire drills or safety plans. The result was a series of multiple-death nursing home fires that killed an average of 15 people per year during the 1960s and early 1970s, said Tom Jaeger, of Great Falls, Va., a longtime consultant to the nursing home industry. Now, with stricter safety codes and sprinklers in nearly every nursing home, the number killed in multiple-death nursing home fires is less than two each year, Jaeger said. The industry has made great strides in reducing those fires, but health experts and regulators warned just this year that many nursing homes are ill-prepared for natural disasters after examining responses to Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina. Some of the warnings being sounded today about evacuation plans are similar to the complaints that came up after the fire on Nov. 23, 1963, that killed all but 21 of the residents at the Golden Age Nursing Home in Fitchville, a village between Toledo and Cleveland. The fire began just before 5 a.m. in the attic of the one-story building, burned through the phone lines and spread before anyone knew what was happening. By the time firefighters arrived 10 minutes later, the building was burning from one end to the other. Passers-by and employees managed to get a few residents out. Steve Pierce said his father went in four or five times before the roof collapsed. “I remember his clothes smelled so bad I think mom said she had to bury them,” said Pierce, who still lives nearby. Jerry Earl, who was 18 at the time, said the flames were shooting through the roof when he arrived with his father, a fire chief in a neighboring village. “The heat was so intense it melted a glass-block window into one big teardrop,” he said. Earl said he found one of exits blocked by a wheelchair with a charred mass behind it. Investigators said some of the victims died steps away from exits, adding that the large loss of life was caused by the lack of a plan for prompt evacuation. Many of those who died suffered from dementia and were wards of the state and not from the area. Henry Timman, a local historian in nearby Norwalk, remembered hearing about the fire on the radio amid coverage of Kennedy’s assassination. “You were just stunned at all that was happening,” he said.

Kennedy had been shot. One of my very first memories was being sent home from Kilgore Elementary School and watching the terrible events of Nov. 22, 1963, unfold on our black and white television. For millions more who were not yet born, the grainy images of a silent video of that day in Dallas have become part of our shared heritage. But while today many will remember the president’s death, it is far more fitting to remember his life, and the rich legacy he left behind. A powerful example of that legacy happened early in his presidency, when Kennedy went before Congress on May 25, 1961, and laid down a marker for the world. With the Soviet Union racing ahead of us in technological innovation and fears that space could become a new battleground for the Cold War — one dominated by the communist empire — Kennedy made a promise. We would go to the moon, he said, and we would do it before the end of the decade. He made this promise despite the fact that John Glenn’s famous mission to become the first American to orbit the earth was only in the planning stages and wouldn’t take place for nine more months. Kennedy knew the challenges ahead. When he described his plan in a speech a year later, he didn’t sugar-coat it. He didn’t tell the American people that the goal of going to the moon could be accomplished with anything less than hard work, years of commitment and even the willingness of some to put their very lives on the line. And to make himself very clear on what would be required, the President said this: [If], my fellow citizens, … we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Letters to the Editor Letters to the editor should be limited to 300 words. All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. temperature of the sun … and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out—then we must be bold. And he was bold. It was, as Kennedy said, “an act of faith and vision.” Faith in an idea that would have seemed madness only a few years before and probably, to many, seemed like madness at the time. Kennedy understood that, too. “We choose to go to the moon,” he said then, in 1962, a little more than a year before his death. “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” What is leadership? Leadership is choosing to do the hard things, to accept the challenges of our time, to fight for goals that may seem impossible, and to bring together Americans of every political stripe, of every ideology and background, to see them accomplished. We face many challenges today. None of them will be easily overcome. Our debt sits at $17 trillion, matching the entire gross domestic product of the United States. In the weakest economic recovery since the 1940s, many Americans are without jobs and feel as though the dream of this country is slipping away. We have a Social Security and Medicare system on which millions of Americans depend, and yet it is marching towards bankruptcy and driving future deficits to trillions of dollars a year. We have a health care system that is broken, with costs on the rise and coverage harder and harder to come by. But these obstacles are not a cause for pessimism. We are not helpless in the face of them. They are not reasons to throw up our hands and give up. Instead they should serve as inspiration — for hard work, for unity of purpose, for boldness and for more than a little bit of faith. Yes, the challenges are real. But so are the possibilities for great success. It is the leadership that has been lacking, the willingness to take on the hard things, and to take them on directly and honestly. John F. Kennedy’s words live on, and they should serve to inspire us all. On July 20, 1969, three men — Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins — sat atop the largest rocket ever devised, seven million pounds of thrust beneath them. Six hours later, Armstrong, a modern day hero, stood on the moon. John F. Kennedy’s promise was fulfilled. An incredible journey had ended with one small step. It had begun with one giant leap of leadership. "9,� 9<>7+8M�+�"/:?,63-+8M�3=�+�=/8+>9<�0<97��239L Sunday Times Sentinel Ohio Valley Newspapers 200 Main Street Point Pleasant, W.Va.

She was born to the late Grover C. and Bertha Ridenour Harris on January 23, 1923, at home in the White Oak community near Philippi, W.Va. Despite the Great Depression, she enjoyed her farm childhood where she was surrounded by loving extended family and friends. She attended the one room White Oak school, where she was once taught by her father, a longtime educator for Barbour County schools. One of her most prized possessions was a quilt sewn by community women to celebrate her graduation from Belington High School in 1940. She attended Alderson Broaddus College and obtained her teaching certificate. Answering the call for women to leave the farm and go to the factories in WWII, she worked for a time in a factory in Baltimore, living in crowded wartime conditions. She returned to W.Va., teaching grades one through eight at Albright School. She left teaching to assist in the extended recovery of her future husband, who had been injured in pilot training while serving in the U.S. Navy. She married the late Dr. Ralph Burton Burner, of Philippi, W.Va., on February 7, 1944. After he used the GI Bill to complete medical school, the couple moved to Gallipolis, Ohio, where he had a medical practice for 30 years, serving with the Gallipolis Clinic, Holzer Clinic and Hospital, and Pleasant Valley Hospital. During this time, Mary raised her family and participated in many community activities. She was a member of the First Baptist Church, and was a faithful servant in several roles as a teacher, in the church kitchen, and on committees. She was also active in the Daughters of the American Revolution and was a Past District Matron in the Order of the Eastern Star. She cooked many meals at the Masonic Temple. She was very active serving on committees related to her children’s activities, such as the Gallia Academy Band Boosters. She was always supportive of her children, sewing many of their clothes and attending school activities. Being together as a family for nightly dinner was a required activity. She was an avid reader, quilter, an accomplished cook and a very creative person who always spread sunshine to others with her quick smile and kind words. Following retirement, the couple moved to South Carolina and enjoyed many years walking on the beaches hand in hand at Myrtle Beach. They were active members of Ocean View Baptist Church and enjoyed many friends from church and Apache Campground, where they maintained their beach home. She was a member of Peter Horry Chapter of the DAR and very active in the Senior Center quilting groups. Her older grandchildren cherished the times visiting grandparents at the beach. After her husband’s death, she decided to travel, touring Europe and taking many cruises. Never afraid to try new activities, in later life she learned to use a computer, became accomplished in needlework, and even was known to go geocaching with her children and grandchildren. She moved to Kansas to be closer to her youngest grandchildren. She enjoyed her grandchildren including her in activities and was proud to see all her grandchildren grow to adulthood. She was a member of the Lansing Community Club. She is survived by her children, Ralph Burner Jr. (Linda) of Montrose, Michigan, Jan (Edward) Humphreys of Lansing, Kansas and Joyce Burner of Lansing, Kansas, with whom she lived. She is also survived by many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren; her brother Dr. Grover (Sara) Harris of Fayetteville, Arkansas; her sister JoAn (Harry) Lemmon of The Villages, Florida; nieces and nephews, and wonderful friends. Preceding her in death were her parents, husband, and her brother, Ira Harris. Services will be 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, November 26, 2013, at the Willis Funeral Home, Gallipolis, Ohio, with Pastor Alvis Pollard officiating. Burial will follow in Mound Hill Cemetery, Gallipolis, Ohio. The family would like to thank her caregivers and The Meadows neighborhood for their special care, support and thoughtfulness.

US eyes increase in Arctic operations HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — The U.S. military is looking for ways to expand operations in the vast waters of the Arctic as melting ice caps open sea lanes and other nations such as Russia compete for the lucrative oil and gas deposits. But the effort will take money and resources to fill the broad gaps in satellite and communications coverage, add deep-water ports and buy more ships that can withstand the frigid waters or break through the ice. There are no cost or budget estimates yet. But by the end of this year, the Navy will complete plans that lay out what the U.S. needs to do to increase communications, harden ships and negotiate international agreements so that nations will be able to track traffic in the Arctic and conduct search-and-rescue missions when needed. En route to a security conference here Thursday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said climate change, energy resources and security issues revolving around the Arctic will continue to grow in importance, particularly as the melting ice opens a new polar sea lane. “That’s going to give many new opportunities to countries, to the world,” Hagel told reporters traveling with him to the conference where the Arctic was expected to be a topic of discussion. “That will come with new challenges as well. So the United States needs to be very active in this group and be very involved.” President Barack Obama in May unveiled a 13-page U.S. strategy for the Arctic, asserting that nations must protect the region’s fragile environment and keep it free from conflict. At the same time, however, the U.S. wants to make sure it is not left behind as countries like Russia, China, Canada and Norway map out plans ranging from gas and oil exploration to research and military exercises. U.S. officials estimate the Arctic holds 13 percent of the world’s undiscovered oil reserves and 30 percent of undiscovered gas deposits. Until recently, however, areas that could reap hundreds of billions of dollars in revenues were frozen over and unreachable. Experts now say the Arctic waters could see largely icefree summers as early as 2030, and there could be ice-free conditions for as long as a month by the mid-2020s. Ice-free means that about 10 percent of the water is ice-covered. Welcoming a new physician to our primary care team.

The loss was the second straight setback for the RedStorm (5-2, 0-1 MSC), while Cumberland improved to 2-3 overall and 1-0 in the MSC on the young season. In a game that saw six lead changes and eight ties, the Bulldogs found themselves up 29-21 with just under eight minutes left in the first half. An 8-0 run fueled by junior guard Brianna Thomas (Maplewood, NJ) and sophomore forward Julia Heaberlin (Ashland, KY) would knot things up at 29 with five minutes left in the first half of action. The two teams would go back and forth from there on out before Cumberland grabbed a 3938 edge at halftime thanks to a conventional three-point play by Tacouya Allen with just three seconds left before the intermission. Though, for the most part, the second half was a back-and-forth slugfest, Rio Grande failed to regain the lead as Cumberland cashed in from the free throw line and hit clutch three-pointers when needed. In fact, 18 of the Bulldogs’ final 25 points came from the foul line. Despite losing, the RedStorm were able to outrebound the Bulldogs, 45-27, with 21 of those RedStorm rebounds being of the offensive variety. Cumberland shot 50 percent from the field overall (29-for58), 45 percent from three-point range (10-for-22) and 83 percent from the foul line (29-for-35). Rio Grande shot a respectable 45 percent from the field (30-for- 66), while hitting seven of their 16 three point tries and 22 of their 29 free throws. “You have to give credit to Cumberland, because they shot the heck out of the ball tonight,” said Rio Grande head coach David Smalley. “We’ve got a lot of things to learn defensively and we’re getting better. I thought we came out with a lot of energy, especially our bench, but it really comes down to executing on both ends of the floor. The glaring mistakes that we made were from inexperience. Tonight was certainly a recipe for an upset.” Rio Grande was led in the loss by Thomas’ career-high 33-point outing, followed by freshman Alexis Payne’s (Deep Water, WV) career-high 20 points and Heaberlin’s career-high equaling 13-point night. Freshman forward Brooke Marcum (Vinton, OH) led the RedStorm in rebounding once again with nine, while Thomas dished out a team-high three assists. A quartet of Bulldogs scored double figures, with Cowan became the third-straight opponent to net 31 points against Rio Grande. Smith finished with 27 points, including 22 in the second half, while Allen had 13 and Brittany Lawson netted 10. Lawson also had a team-high six rebounds and Allen contributed a gamehigh five assists.

Meigs outlasts Lady Lancers in season opener Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — There’s nothing quite like starting the season in the win column. The Meigs girls basketball team started the season in style Friday night, with a hard-fought 63-59 victory over non-league guest Federal Hocking in Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium. The Lady Marauders (1-0) trailed Federal Hocking (0-1) by one in the early going but a 12-2 spurt by helped the host to an 18-10 lead after the opening period. The MHS defense stepped up and held the Lady Lancers to just a pair of field goals in the second quarter. Meigs was 8-of-12 from the charity stripe in the second and led 32-21 at the midway point. Following the break FHHS pressured the ball and forced Meigs into 11 turnovers in the third period, which allowed Federal Hocking to climb back into the game. With just eight minutes to play, Meigs led 43-39. Less than a minute into the finale Federal Hocking had tied the game, and with 6:33 remaining the Lady Lancers grabbed the 47-45 lead, their first advantage since leading 5-4. Meigs answered swiftly and regained the lead just a minute and a half later at 48-47. Federal Hocking clawed back to tie the game at 59-59 with 35 ticks left on the clock, but Meigs went 4-for-4 from the free throw line to seal the season opening victory, 63-59. The victors were paced by Kelsey Hudson with 21 points in the game, including a 10-of-16 performance from the free throw line. Morgan Russell and Brook Andrus each marked 12 points, Hannah Cremeans added eight points and Danielle Morris finished with six points. Ariel Ellis marked two points, while Haiden English and Bre Colburn rounded out the MHS scoring total with a point each. Andrus pulled down nine rebounds to pace MHS, while Hudson marked a team-high five steals. Carley Tabler led all scorers with 26 points for the Lady Lancers, followed by Destiny Tabler with 16. Megan Thompson contributed 13 points, Ashton Cale marked two, while Whittney Gillian and Tisha Glass each had one marker. Both Meigs and Federal Hocking battled foul trouble throughout the game, MHS committing 28 total fouls, while FHHS was whistled for 29 fouls. Both Hannah Cremeans and Brook Andrus fouled out for the hosts, while Kaylli McPherson, Megan Thompson, Destiny Tabler and Carley Tabler all reached five fouls for the Lady Lancers. Meigs held a 48-to-35 advantage on the glass, while the teams were even at 25 turnovers apiece. The Lady Marauders shot 19-of-51 (37.3 percent) from the field, with a Hudson and Andrus each hitting a three pointer. Meigs was 23-of-43 (53.5 percent) at the charity stripe, while FHHS was 17-of-34 (50 percent). Meigs will look to sweep FHHS on December 23rd when the Lady Marauders visit Stewart.

Patriots get past Point Pleasant, 28-7 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — As Point Pleasant head football coach Dave Darst came over to the media at midfield for his postgame interview, he simply stated that he’d like to have one play back before being asked a single question. The play he was referencing was indeed a big one. Elijah Bell picked off a screen pass by PPHS quarterback Aden Yates and took 31 yards to the house, allowing Wheeling Park to turn a tight one-possession game into 21-7 edge before ultimately rolling on to a 28-7 victory over the Big Blacks in a Class AAA quarterfinal at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. Point Pleasant (11-1) kept things competitive throughout most of three quarters of play, as the hosts stayed within striking distance after entering the intermission down 14-7. Neither team could muster much offense in the third quarter, and a key defensive stand late in the third gave PPHS its biggest upcoming possession of the night.

The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team scored 20 fourth quarter points, but it was not enough as Elk Valley Christian held on for the 51-45 victory at Maranatha Baptist in the West Virginia’s capital city. The Defenders (0-1) trailed by a narrow 15-14 margin after surrendering a trio of three pointers in the opening period of play Friday night. The Eagles (1-0) were able to clamp down on defense and extend their lead to three points, 25-22 when the halftime buzzer sounded. Ohio Valley Christian went cold after the intermission and was outscored 14-to-3 in the third period. The Defenders got back on track in the finale with 20 points, but the Eagles marked 12 to seal the 51-45 victory in the season opener. T.G.

Joiner as time expired, sealing the Bulldogs’ 74-72 win over the RedStorm, Thursday night, in the Mid-South Conference men’s basketball opener for both schools at the Newt Oliver Arena. Cumberland improved its overall mark to 5-0 with the victory, while a second straight loss leaves Rio Grande at 3-2. The Bulldogs used a 15-0 first half run to erase an early eightpoint deficit and then survived numerous second half runs by the RedStorm and a wild finish to remain unbeaten. “We played hard,” said Rio Grande head coach Ken French. “It turned out to be a one-possession game and, if you ask everybody who played tonight, I think they’d all tell you that they had a possession they’d like to have back - whether on the offensive end or the defensive end. We just had too many of those little things that ended up costing us the game. We’re really close, but we’re not getting over the hump.” Rio Grande trailed 14-11 just under six minutes into the contest before reeling off 13 of the next 15 points to take a 24-16 lead following a three-pointer by junior guard Evan Legg (Piketon, OH) with 9:00 left in the first half. But those were the last points the RedStorm would score over the next 7:04, as the Bulldogs went on a 15-0 run of their own to open up a 31-24 lead with 2:32 left before the intermission. Rio did rally with the next seven points to tie the game at 31-31 with 1:25 remaining before the break, but Cumberland countered again with a 7-0 spurt to end the half. While the RedStorm closed the deficit to one on four separate occasions in the second half, they never managed to tie or regain the lead again. “That seven-minute stretch in the first half ended up being the difference in the game,” French said. “We were as much our enemy as they were. We took ourselves out of any kind of rhythm. We had the wrong guys taking the wrong kinds of shots. That’s all part of the process of us trying to figure out who can do what.” Cumberland twice led by as many as eight points in the second half and enjoyed a seemingly comfortable 74-68 lead after a pair of free throws by Kenny Stripling with 15.4 seconds left, but Rio managed to make it interesting one final time in the waning seconds. Senior guard Jermaine Warmack (Orange, NJ) hit a pair of free throws with 12.7 seconds left to make it 74-70 and, after a turnover by the Bulldogs on the ensuing inbounds play, a layup by junior guard Travis Elliott (Ironton, OH) got the RedStorm within 74-72 with 6.1 seconds left. Gude had a chance to ice the win for Cumberland after being fouled with 5.2 seconds remaining, but he missed both free throw attempts and Joiner - a sophomore from Columbus, Ohio - snared the rebound. Joiner raced up the right sideline and let go of a 30-foot would-be game-winning threepoint try, but Gude hustled back on defense and cleanly blocked Joiner’s shot as time expired. “That may have been the last play, but there were a lot of plays prior to that one that we didn’t finish on,” said French. “We took a couple of quick threes when we didn’t need one, but I guess you have to be in a game like this in order to learn from it. We learned the hard way by taking an ‘L’.” Gude led Cumberland with 16 points, while Stripling netted 15, Marquel Hickerson had 14 and Alex Flagler scored 12. Hickerson tied teammate Moritz Dern with eight rebounds and Stripling added four steals. Warmack had a game-high 22 points in the loss for Rio Grande, while sophomore forward Phillip Hertz (Rungsted Kyst, Denmark) had 14 and Legg finished with 13. Freshman forward Bilal Young had a game-high 10 rebounds for the RedStorm. %9:@î,2==6Jî�9C:DE:2?î9@?@CDî72==î2E9=6E6D GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The Ohio Valley Christian School held its annual Fall Sports Banquet on Friday, November 8, in the Old French City.

The weather’s supposed to be bad, too. When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns renew their heated rivalry and hatred for each other on Sunday, there is bound to be a few extra shoves, a handful of late hits and maybe even some illegal cheap shots. It’s always that way. “I expect it to be nasty,” said Browns running back Willis McGahee. “It’s a rivalry game, a division game.” And for the first time in a while, a meaningful one. With both teams at 4-6 and still in the hunt for a playoff spot, there’s more on the line than in previous years. But even when there’s nothing to play for, and although the rivalry has been one-sided toward Pittsburgh for years, there’s enough animosity between the Steelers and Browns — and their fans — to make it a chippy game. “You could use the word ‘hate,’” Browns defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin said when asked for his feelings about the Steelers. “A lot of people around here would use that word. At the same time, we just want to go out there and have a good game and make sure that we take care of what we’ve got to do and focus on our individual battles. “This game’s going to be a crucial one and one that we need to win.” The dislike between the Steelers and Browns goes back decades. Earlier this week, Cleveland coach Rob Chudzinski, a lifelong Browns fan, referenced the infamous play in 1976 when Browns defensive lineman Joe “Turkey” Jones picked up Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw and slammed the Hall of Famer on his head. The fact that Jones’ notorious sack was the first thing Chudzinski mentioned when talking about one of the league’s saltiest rivalries, underscores the angst between the Rust Belt cities. Last year’s season finale between the teams disintegrated into a barroom brawl. Although nothing as sinister as planting a quarterback head first into the turf, there was extra-curricular activities that drew personal fouls and thickened the bad blood between the AFC North neighbors. In the third quarter, Browns nose tackle Phil Taylor blindsided Steelers tackle Kelvin Beachum with a forearm smash. The flagrant foul, which didn’t draw a penalty flag and took place away from the running play, resulted in Taylor getting fined $7,875. On Friday, Taylor said he was “just playing to the whistle” and insisted he won’t be looking for any more payback. “There’s a couple of players tried to go after me or whatever, but it is what it is,” Taylor said. “I’m not going to let that sidetrack me. I’m still going to do what I have to do.” Taylor didn’t go so far as saying he hated the Steelers, but he came close. “I think hate is a strong word, but I really do dislike them,” he said. “This game means a lot. It’s another division game, so we have to do what we have to do.” The Taylor-Beachum exchange wasn’t the only roughhousing last year. On the undercard of that Dec. 30 matchup, Steelers guard Doug Legursky dived into the legs of Browns linebacker Craig Robertson, who got up swinging. Former Steelers linebacker James Harrison drilled Browns quarterback Thaddeus Lewis after a touchdown pass and Rubin and teammate Billy Winn were slapped with personal fouls following a scuffle with several Steelers following an extrapoint attempt. Rubin, aware that Sunday’s game is expected to be played in snow and temperature in the mid-20s, is ready to rumble. “It’s the Steelers,” he said. “Everybody’s amped up. The fans are amped up. They’re playing dirty. We’re playing dirty. It’s just that type of game, and it’s going to be that type of weather, too. We’ve just got to bring our hard hat and come to work.” It’s going to be gritty and grimy, but that’s how a Pittsburgh-Cleveland should be. “That’s why it’s fun and that’s why the fans love it,” Browns tackle Joe Thomas said. “There’s always a little extra on the field, guys are always hitting a little bit after the whistle, it’s a physical hard-nosed game — and it sounds like it’s that way in the stands.” The Steelers have dominated the rivalry since 1999, going 24-5 against the Browns. This is Cleveland’s chance to enhance its playoff chances and damage Pittsburgh’s. “This game is like our season,” Rubin said. “If we don’t pull out a win right here, I don’t know. This is very, very, very important to us, and we’re going to do everything we’ve got to do and try to do to get a win here.” NOTES: Browns inside starting LB Craig Robertson will miss Sunday’s game with a knee injury. Tank Carder will likely start in Robertson’s spot. … Chudzinski said the team worked out punters earlier this week when P Spencer Lanning’s left (plant) knee got swollen. But Lanning practiced the past few days and is expected to play. �C@H?D[î�256?î Maui Invitational hits 3-decade mark >@G6Dî:?E@î6=:E6î 4@C?6C324<î4=2DD Jim O’Connell The Associated Press For the 30th time some of the best teams in college basketball will make the trip halfway across the Pacific Ocean accompanied by fans who will root them on in between scuba lessons, whale watching, golf and parasailing. The Maui Invitational turns 30 this week. It hasn’t always been the best of the preseason tournaments but it’s hard to remember when it wasn’t. There are so many reasons why people love to go to Maui, one of the most beautiful of the Hawaiian islands. There is one reason why basketball teams love to go the Maui Invitational — the fields. The first two tournaments had only four teams. In 1986, the field was expanded to eight with Chaminade, a Division II school in Honolulu, the one constant as the tournament’s host. (Chaminade’s victory over then-No. 1 Virginia and Ralph Sampson happened in Honolulu in 1982). Since then the field every year has contained a mix of storied programs, ranked teams and just enough of those dreaded mid-majors to keep the most ardent of fans happy whether they have a lei around their neck or a remote in their hand. The early tournaments were more than solid but things changed in 1989 when KemperLesnik, a company based in Chicago, took over running the Maui Invitational. There were going to be changes made. Small things like a new court in a spruced-up Lahaina Civic Center, the 2,500seat home of the tournament. Big things like contracts with ESPN to have all 12 games televised on one of the network’s outlets. “We wanted to be the preseason Final Four and we would do everything we possibly could to make this a major basketball event,” Steve Lesnik, the chairman of Kemper-Lesnik, said. “We wanted to be the pre-eminent preseason tournament.” Lesnik’s first step to make that happen was to hire the recently retired Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke as the Maui Invitational chairman. He would put the fields together. He would make sure those teams were happy in a competitive situation. “Wayne had the vision of what the tournament could be and he had the credibility and stature that let people know we were serious,” Lesnik said. “One of the first things he did was to bring officials over, many with Final Four experience, because that was one of the things leading coaches were concerned about.” Duke, who was the first fulltime employee of the NCAA in 1952 and went on to lead the Big Eight and Big Ten and was the chairman of the NCAA tournament selection committee when the first big television contract was agreed to, became the man who had the power to get you in the Maui field. “We wanted to lock up the best teams we could get. I’m not saying we always did but we did our darndest to,” Duke said from his home in Barrington, Ill. “We aimed for them and I think we did get them over a period of time. But it wasn’t me. It was the great ocean waves. The one thing we had was Maui, Maui, Maui.” During the pre-Thanksgiving days that have become the dates for the Maui Invitational, it’s possible to see coaches sitting poolside with an erase board drawing plays; there are teams having walkthroughs on the sand; fans wearing combinations of apparel supporting their team combined with local wear; and there is even the occasional spotting of NBA legends who suddenly become scouts for their former teams when the expense accounts are datelined Maui. No matter the TV coverage, the venue keeps the tournament with a down home feel. The Lahaina Civic Center is a good 3-wood and a short iron from the Pacific Ocean. What other building lets you run out to a spectacular view like that during a media timeout? The building is also home to the Department of Motor Vehicles for the county and it’s open during the tournament. Among the ticket-holders anxiously waiting to get into a game is often a person with a registration renewal form or a couple of license plates ready to be turned in. But its court has seen more future NBA players than the green room on draft night. Some of the MVPs over the years are Dell Curry of Virginia Tech, Glen Rice of Michigan, Bobby Hurley of Duke, Anfernee Hardaway of Memphis, Raymond Felton of North Carolina and Kemba Walker of Connecticut. There have been games in November worthy of March. Take 2005 for example. Gonzaga, with Adam Morrison scoring a tournament-record 43 points, beat Michigan State, with Maurice Ager scoring a career-high 36 points, 109-106 in triple overtime. The Bulldogs then faced Connecticut in the title game the next day and the Huskies won 65-63 on Denham Brown’s turnaround jumper with 1.1 seconds to play. Amazingly, that’s not the only tournament with a story line like that. No school has owned Maui the way Duke has. Five appearances, five Wayne Duke championship trophies. No wonder the Lahaina Civic center has been nicknamed “Cameron Indoor Stadium West.” When asked what makes the Maui Invitational the tournament it is, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski answers, “The great fields.” When Duke retired from his chairman duties he was followed by a man with the same type of credentials, Dave Gavitt. The founder of the Big East and one of the most respected men in college sports, Gavitt, who died in 2011, turned the reins over to the current chairman, former Wake Forest and South Carolina coach Dave Odom. He faces challenges his predecessors didn’t: expanded fields with “mainland” teams that play games in the tournament but don’t go to Maui; new tournaments in exotic locales much closer to the mainland such as the Battle 4 Atlantis; and more television and Internet possibilities for games to be televised from tournaments in places like Puerto Rico. “I think we at Kemper-Lesnik have always looked at this tournament as being very, very special and only see it getting better as we go along,” Odom said recently as the final preparations were being made for this year’s tournament with a field that includes No. 9 Syracuse, No. 13 Gonzaga and No. 20 Baylor. “All the people involved take the time after the tournament to see how we can make it better next year. No one is sitting back on our 30-year laurels. The interest from teams is still very, very high. There is the commitment from the community. We will build on the success of years gone by.” Bengals’ team of extremes in control of AFC North CINCINNATI (AP) — No dull moments with this Bengals team. There’s always something big going on. Big lulls followed by big comebacks. A Hail Mary pass that ties the game followed by a loss in overtime. Andy Dalton setting club records for touchdowns one month, throwing interception after interception the next month. And maybe that’s the personality of a team that seems to play its best after putting itself behind. As coach Marvin Lewis put it, “I guess we will continue to major in thrilling at this point.” The real thrills — or yet another huge disappoint- ment — are still to come. The Bengals (7-4) have taken control of the AFC North with the toughest stretch of their schedule behind them. They’ve got a two-game lead in the loss column over Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, all 4-6 heading into the weekend. They have a late-season bye that should get them closer to full strength for the final push. Only one of their final five games involves an opponent that currently has a winning record — Indianapolis, and they’ll get to face the Colts at home. Three of the last five will be at Paul Brown Stadium, where the Bengals are 5-0 this season. All they need is a few more wins and they’ll not only be headed to the postseason for the third year in a row — something the Bengals have never done — but they’ll be in the running for home-field advantage deep into the playoffs. They were in very good shape heading into the bye-week break. “We’re first in the division and we’ve got more than a two-game lead and the truth is you’ve done something obviously pretty good to be to this point,” offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “So I don’t think there’s any point to putting ourselves down. “Let’s find out where we can be even better and finish this thing the way we need to and we’ll be right where we want to be.” The Bengals’ two defining traits so far have been inconsistency and resiliency. They got off to a 14-0 lead against Green Bay, fell behind 30-14 then rallied for a 34-30 win. They’ve gone to overtime three times, losing twice. Against the Browns last Sunday, they fell behind 13-0 in the first quarter and scored a club-record 31 points in the second quarter to win going away. BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The darkest days in Joe Haden’s life lit his path to prominence. Suspended last year for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, Cleveland’s lock-down cornerback took a hard look at himself and knew he had to make changes. It was time to grow up. Get serious. “When I got suspended that really slowed me down and made me settle down,” Haden said. “The whole suspension thing got me to where I am now.” Haden has moved into the elite class of NFL defensive backs. Coming off the best game of his career — two interceptions, one for a touchdown return against Cincinnati — Haden credited much of his personal turnaround with a dramatic lifestyle change, most notably his marriage last June to longtime girlfriend, Sarah. “I think it’s mostly, honestly, the way I’m living,” said the affable Haden. “Just me and my wife, I have a really good relationship with her. We’re doing super well just relaxing all the time. I’ve been studying the Bible a whole lot more and I’m just really comfortable with myself and how my life is going, and honestly that’s what really got me here. “It’s just football now, all football.” And Haden is playing it better than ever. On Sunday, he clamped down on Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green for the second time this season, holding him to just two catches for 7 yards. Week after week, Haden covers the other team’s top receiver and he’s done his job almost flawlessly. So far this season, he’s matched up with six former Pro Bowl receivers and has limited the group, which includes Green, Detroit’s Calvin Johnson and Miami’s Mike Wallace, to 17 receptions for 147 yards and zero touchdowns. With a laminated map of the Hawaiian Islands taped to the inside of his locker to give him motivation to make the Pro Bowl, he has become Haden Island. “He embodies everything you want in a young corner,” said Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton. “He’s athletic, he’s smart, he’s tough, and he’s a very good person on top of that.” Haden’s maturity as a person and player has been noticeable to teammates as well as to teams preparing to face him. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be mindful of No. 23 when the Steelers (4-6) visit the Browns (4-6) on Sunday in a game that could knock the loser from the playoff race. “He’s a guy right now that’s playing at a really high level,” Roethlisberger said on a conference call. “He may be playing the best of any cornerback that we’ve seen all year.” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin spoke in glowing terms about Haden, who burst onto the scene with six interceptions as a rookie in 2010. “I don’t believe any corner is playing better that we have faced,” Tomlin said. “He’s good on the line, he’s good off the ball. He’s got great peripheral vision. He can feel receivers and look at the quarterback. He’s very difficult to trick because of those things. He’s just a very talented player whose experience is catching up with this talent. And the end result is he’s one of the best at what he does.” It’s not that Haden was acting like a wild man before this season. He liked to have fun and his accessibility, good-natured attitude and genuine love for Cleveland endeared him to Browns fans. But his four-game suspension for using Adderall last year changed the way some people viewed him. Haden sat out Weeks 2-5, and the Browns went 0-4 without their best defensive player. Unable to be around his teammates during the suspension, he went home to Maryland and stayed with his parents. As tough as that time was on him emotionally, the break gave him a chance to prioritize. He prayed. He came back determined to be a better man, a better player. Once he got engaged everything fell into place. “I just knew it was about time, he said. “It was the right girl, good girl, perfect. Just amazing. “Honestly, just the way of life changed me. That’s the truth.” Haden said Horton has made a huge impact on his on-field growth. Horton has been demanding, pushing Haden to raise his game. One of Horton’s tools to goad Haden has been to compare him with Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson. Horton coached Peterson for two seasons. “He’s definitely different than any coach I have ever had,” Haden said. “He does not really talk too much to me, he just always says little smart remarks about not doing what I should or if I am doing good, he will give me little comments. “He mostly just lets me do me.” Haden is doing it better than ever. �&@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D Page B4 LîSunday Times Sentinel Help Wanted General ANNOUNCEMENTS Tire Technician Drivers & Delivery Wellston, OH Responsible for fleet inspections, tire mounting/dismounting, tire repair, roadside service & additional duties as assigned.

On Point Pleasant’s very first play from scrimmage, Yates dropped back and fired a screen pass to the outside — which Bell stepped in front of before going untouched to the end zone, giving WPHS a little breathing room at 21-7 headed into the finale. PPHS was never closer the rest of the way, as Wheeling Park recorded three consecutive sacks on Point’s next drive before tacking on a late score to wrap up the 21-point triumph and secure a date with top-seeded Huntington (12-0) in next weekend’s state semifinal. HHS defeated George Washington 17-13 in its quarterfinal matchup Friday night. Darst — who is now 53-20 overall and 4-6 in the playoffs over his seven season at PPHS — was quick to explain his opening statement after the game. “We changed up the call and it was supposed to go to a different guy. We had been running that screen play successfully to the outside, but we chose to go with the guy on the inside just to see how it would look,” Darst said. “We missed a block, and the guy we missed made a great play on the ball. I really wish I could have that one back, but I can’t do it.” The pick-six was one of three crucial turnovers committed by the Big Blacks on the night, as Wheeling Park (11-1) finished the night plus-2 in turnover differential. The interception return by Bell also resulted in the only points scored off of four total takeaways. Statistically, Point Pleasant produced similar numbers to the Patriots — as the Big Blacks finished the night with a slim 14-12 edge in first downs. Wheeling Park outgained the hosts 311-243 in total offensive yards, including a 182-142 edge on the ground. As the smallest school — enrollment-wise — remaining in the Class AAA playoffs, Darst thought his program earned some respect Friday night with how well they played against a proven tripleA contender. And with a majority of his team returning next fall, he even admits that Point’s future is already looking brighter. “I’ve basically got my whole offense back next year, so that’s encouraging. Even though we scored a lot of points this year, we knew that this was a young group. We really grew as the year went on, and we can build on that. I am proud of the way the kids played this year,” Darst said. “Wheeling Park has got a really nice football team, but defensively I was really proud of the way we hung in there against a team that has put up a ton of points.

I am encouraged by what I saw tonight against what I consider to be one of the top few teams in the state. Where we are in tripleA right now, this loss can be a positive step forward for this program.” Darst also showed his respect for the Wheeling Park program after what he witnessed first-hand Friday night. “I don’t want to take away from Wheeling Park. They made a three-hour trip and came in here and did what they had to do. They passed the test,” Darst said. “I wish them the best and hope they are state champions.” After trading punts on the first two possessions of the game, WPHS struck first blood midway through the opening period after Elijah Bell hauled in a deep 58-yard scoring strike from Zach Phillips for an early 7-0 edge. Bell’s TD catch capped a fourplay, 70-yard drive at the 5:39 mark of the first stanza. Point Pleasant retaliated with its best possession of the night, a nine-play, 65-yard drive that led to a tie game after Gage Buskirk hauled in a 27-yard scoring pass from Aden Yates on fourth down. Buskirk’s grab came at the 1:38 mark of the first quarter, which knotted things up at seven apiece. Point’s lone takeaway came on the ensuing kickoff, as Jon Peterson scooped up a fumble by the kick returner — giving the hosts possession at the WPHS 25 with 1:35 left in the first period. That drive eventually ended in a loss of downs after a bad snap on what would have been a 32yard field goal attempt by Colin Peal. After dodging a bullet, the Patriots countered with some quick lightning. The guests marched 86 yards in three plays to take a 14-7 lead, thanks in large part to a 79-yard TD scamper by Savion Johnson. Johnson’s mad dash gave Wheeling Park a one-possession cushion at the 8:11 mark of the second, which also held up headed into halftime. Point Pleasant ran twice as many offensive plays in the first half (34-17), but was outgained by a 187-132 margin in total offense. If you take away the two scoring plays by WPHS in the opening 24 minutes, the Patriots accumulated just 50 yards on their other 15 offensive plays from scrimmage. Both teams again traded punts to start the second half, but a Point Pleasant fumble ended its second third quarter drive — which set up the long drive by Wheeling Park that ended in a loss of downs. Bell’s pick-six followed on the next play, giving Wheeling Park a 21-7 lead with 1:10 remaining in the third period. Yates was sacked three consecutive times for minus 25 yards on Point’s next possession, which ended with a punt that gave the Patriots the ball at the Big Black 35yard line with 11:05 remaining in regulation. Five plays and 35 yards later, Wheeling Park claimed a 28-7 advantage following an eight-yard TD scamper by Geremy Paige at the 8:50 mark. Point followed with a 12play drive that ended in a loss of downs at the WPHS 35 with 3:10 left, and the guests gradually ran out the clock with their final possession. The Big Blacks finished the night with 142 rushing yards on 42 attempts and produced 101 yards in the air on 11of-14 passing. Point also had four penalties for 25 yards and punted four times for an average of 38 yards in the setback. Cody Mitchell led the hosts erage of 35 yards. Savion Johnson led the Wheeling Park rushing attack with 144 yards and a score on 14 attempts, followed by Geremy Paige with 36 yards and a TD on six carries. Thad Blackston also had one tote for three yards in the victory. Zach Phillips finished the night 9-of-16 passing for 129 yards, which included one touchdown pass and zero interceptions. Phillips also had four rushes for minus one yard. Elijah Bell had two catches for 76 yards and a score, followed by Michael Grove with two grabs for 32 yards. Johnson caught two passes for 16 yards and Eric Banks had three receptions for five yards. The Big Blacks are now 28-4 alltime at OVB Field since the stadium opened in 2009, which includes a with 58 rushing yards on 15 attempts, followed by Chase Walton with 45 yards on 10 tries. Cody Marcum also had two carries for 10 yards and Gage Buskirk added one run for three yards. Aden Yates finished the night 11-of-14 passing for 101 yards, which included a touchdown and an interception. The junior signal-caller also ran 14 times for 26 yards. Buskirk led the wideouts with four catches for 49 yards and a score, while Mitchell hauled in four passes for 30 yards. Jon Peterson added two grabs for 22 yards and Austen Toler had one reception for zero yards.

Kicking off the festive season Gallipolis in Lights plans park lighting ceremony Amber Gillenwater agillenwater@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The months of hard work put forth by a dedicated group of volunteers will finally pay off this coming Wednesday during the Gallipolis in Lights park lighting ceremony in the Gallipolis City Park. The organization’s co-chair, Shari Rocchi, reported last week about the building excitement among the Gallipolis in Lights over the upcoming ceremony that will light up the trees of the city park for the Christmas season. “Wednesday night’s lighting ceremony is a way to bring As a part of the Gallipolis in Lights project, a few “make and take” community workshops were also held.

CENTER, when speaking last week, Gallipolis in Lights Committee Co-Chair Shari Rocchi was sure to thank the “high-flying” volunteers who braved the heights to hang the lighted Christmas balls in the trees in the city park. This view of First Avenue is from atop one of the bucket trucks used by the volunteers. AT RIGHT, this group of Gallia Academy High School students also got in on the action recently, helping to hang lights in the smaller trees that line the 300 block of Second Avenue.

See EXTENSION | C4 Season From Page C1 We have a beautiful place to live and we need to be proud of it,” Rocchi said. “Gallipolis in Bloom has done a tremendous job of keeping it beautiful in the spring and summer, so Gallipolis in Lights wants to carry the beauty in to the fall and winter.” Rocchi reported that the newly-formed, non-profit organization’s goal is to fill the downtown area with lights this Christmas and for many Christmases to come — making Gallipolis a stopping point for those traveling to observe light displays and thereby helping to bring tourism to Gallia County. “Although we all have traveled to outside communities to observe terrific Christmas light displays, we felt the need to bring that kind of holiday beauty in to our little town,” Rocchi said. “We also want to help our community by bringing other people to our area and help bring in revenue to our local businesses.” As part of their goal of lighting up the downtown, the Gallipolis in Lights Committee, beginning earlier this year with the aid of donations and volunteers, began constructing “lighted Christmas balls” that they just recently hung in select trees in the Gallipolis City Park — an idea that came to Gallipolis from one of the other Gallipolis in Lights members who saw a similar display in Greensboro, N.C. “He thought it was such a brilliant display of lights that we decided to bring them to Gallipolis,” she said. “We want to continue with the lighted Christmas ball project in order for it to grow throughout the community and neighborhoods.” Rocchi reported that constructing the lighted Christmas balls was not a difficult process, but time consuming, as the frames for the decorations were constructed and then covered in LED lights during several community workshops this fall. The balls were then hung high in trees in the city park, a very large task that re- quired rental equipment and a few brave volunteers. “The lights will be shining bright this holiday season thanks to our high-flying volunteers, who hung the balls in the trees from the bucket trucks,” she said. Overall, Rocchi reported that she and the other Gallipolis in Lights Committee members are dedicated to bringing Christmas memories to the community this year and in years to come through their continued efforts. “For myself, it is based on childhood memories. I have wonderful childhood memories of all my brothers, sisters and I piling in the station wagon and traveling to other commu- If you or a loved one suffer with hip pain, hip replacement may be in your future.

As for Gallipolis in Lights, we all want to instill lasting memories for our children, grandchildren, and adults alike.” In the years to come, Rocchi stated that the Gallipolis in Lights hopes to see the project continue to grow with the support of the community to include new and different Christmas light displays. “Gallipolis in Lights has a four year plan in place that will allow the light project to continue to grow. We will fund raise all year round in order to be able to add more Christmas light displays throughout Gallipolis. We are striving to make Gallipolis a showplace for other communities to travel to us to observe our brilliant display of holiday lights,” Rocchi commented. She also added that the committee will learn from their experience this year and the years to come, helping to ensure that each year’s light display is better than the last. “There is a lot we all can improve on in the year to come,” she said. “This project is a work-in-progress that we all are continuing to learn from. We are learning the hard way, simply by trial and error, on better ways to improve on constructing and implementing our plans.” The lighting ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 27 in the Gallipolis City Park and will feature guest speaker Representative Ryan Smith along with Kennedy Shamblin, whose name was drawn among the over 90 entries in the “turn on the lights” contest recently held among the area schools. Smith will speak, beginning at 7 p.m., with Shamblin turning on the Christmas lights immediately thereafter. In addition, the evening will also feature several Christmas-based performances by local musical acts. Hot chocolate and sweet treats will also be available, and a food drive for the needy will also be held. Visitors can also fill out Christmas cards for the troops. “Our park lighting will help to kick off this festive season with some holiday cheer,” Rocchi said. “A huge thank you to all the area businesses and individuals that have supported our efforts. We hope to have your ongoing support throughout the years in order to continue this project. Also, we would like to thank all the volunteers that helped throughout our Gallipolis in Lights journey thus far. We hope to see everyone at the park lighting to support our community and enjoy the festivities.” Rocchi reported that the Gallipolis in Lights Committee will be taking a break after the holidays, but they will continue their endeavours in early spring and are always seeking more volunteers and supporters in the community. To contact Gallipolis in Lights, visit their Facebook page, email gallipolisinlights@yahoo.com or visit the Gallia County Visitor’s Bureau or the Gallipolis Municipal Building and ask about the committee. “We need the entire community to be on board and lend a hand to put pride back in to our community,” Rocchi said. “We are proud of our community coming together to show us that we all want to be able to have pride in our town. If we don’t take time to have pride in the place we all live then who will? We hope that this is only the beginning of a growing community project that many more will want to take part in.” �Sunday, November 24, 2013 &@>6C@JîLî#:55=6A@CEîLî�2==:A@=:D BLONDIE Sunday Times Sentinel Lî&286î� By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green By Dave Green RHYMES WITH ORANGE 4 3 3 4 By Hilary Price 2 2 3 5 6 8 7 1 1 7 3 6 5 5 4 9 11/23 Difficulty Level Hank Ketcham’s DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner By Bil and Jeff Keane Make the Switch to DISH Today and Save Up To 50% Call Now and Ask How! 1-800-401-1670 All offers require 24-month commitment and credit qualification.Call 7 days a week 8am - 11pm EST Promo Code: MB0913 *Offer subject to change based on premium movie channel availability Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS Promotional prices g at only ... in rt a st FREE OVER 30 PREMIUM MOVIE CHANNELS mo. ths for 12 monHo pper Not eligible wi2 th or iPad offer.

Community From Page C2 engineer, and Harry Henry of Racine, a dockhand. All were buried in the Letart Falls Cemetery. This week I received a letter from Karen E. Combs of Millwood, W.Va., the niece of Isaac Farra, who is compiling her family’s genealogy, and wants to include information on that fateful accident killing her uncle and the two other river-men. She has pictures of the tombstones of all three, along with their certificates of death. She also has a picture of her uncle, but to complete the history of the collision resulting in the death of the three Meigs Countians, she’s now searching for pictures of the other two as well as copies of the obituaries of all three which she says appeared in the Sentinel. She believes descendants of the other two on the tugboat, Harry Henry and Glen Teaford, Acquisitions OFF may be living in Meigs County, and might have what she’s searching for. Her address is 233 Front Street, Millwood, W.Va. 25262 and her telephone number is 204-273-9794 . ____________________ Now speaking of getting older, Garnet Hall who lives at 673 High Street in Middleport, will be observing her 105th birthday on Dec. 13.
