Such is the case with Mary Delores King of Pomeroy, who in the past three years has crocheted over 465 hats for cancer patients and “people in other countries who just need a warm hat.” Each year, members of the Modern Woodmen of America recognize the work of individuals in their community who are dedicated to serving others, and make a donation to a charity of the honored person’s choice. This year, Meigs County Chapter 7230 in Burlingham chose to honor King for her work during a surprise picnic in her honor; she named Chester Shade Historical Association as the recipient of the donation. King has a long history of being involved in her community, and said “I was born and raised in Meigs County. When I married, I moved two miles down the road and have lived there for 70 years.” King proudly shared that she was “going on 90”, “I’ll be 90 next April, the Lord willing, but I’m not old yet.” Her deﬁnition of “old” is to be ill tempered, possessive, complaining, not wanting to do anything. She remembers hearing her aunt saying to her children that when she got old, if she ever got “cranky” they should tell her to stop. Her aunt was over 90 years old at the time, and King said that statement has remained with her throughout her life. She said her secret is to “stay busy.” “My mother also never got “old”, and I didn’t want to either. I didn’t want to be cranky with a bad disposition, so I’ve stayed busy.” King worked alongside her husband on their farm, had six children, retired as a bus driver in 1993 after 25 years on the job, and began another career quilting. She cared for her aging parents for 12 years and her mother-in law for ﬁve. “We raised ﬁve girls and one boy, and were married 55 years before my husband passed away suddenly. I drove a school bus, then I began quilting quilts for everyone around,” she said. “I quilted 140 See BENEFIT | 5 OHIO VALLEY — Things are looking up — or should we say down — in Meigs County After many months at or near the top in unemployment in the state of Ohio, Meigs County has fallen out of the top 5 in jobless numbers.

And, for the better part of my life, I ﬁgured I was failing miserably in that regard. By his own admission, my father wasn’t an easy man to please. I’m guessing this had quite a bit to do with his own upbringing. My father’s parents, my grandparents, immigrated to this country from China in the ﬁrst part of the 20th century. David His father came here as a teenage Fong boy, unable to speak the language, Contributing when illness threatened to wipe out columnist his village. My father was one of nine children growing up in Boise, Idaho, working in their father’s Chinese restaurant. They basically lived a step or two above squalor in the back part of the restaurant. I only recently learned my father grew up without running water. My grandfather was a ﬁrm believer in “The American Dream,” and taught each and every one of his children that the only way to succeed in this country was by outworking everyone else. My father took that to heart in everything he did. Like his brothers and sisters, he worked in the restaurant to help support the family. In the classroom, he took all of the most difﬁcult classes possible, with an emphasis on math and science. On the athletic ﬁeld, he played four sports — football in the fall, basketball in the winter, track in the spring and legion baseball in the summer — and won a state championship as a member of his high school’s 4x200 relay team in track and ﬁeld. Once his high school career was ﬁnished, he attended the University of Idaho (Go Vandals!) on a full ROTC scholarship, then was commissioned into the United States Army upon his graduation from college. After he left the Army, he went back to school and got his master’s degree, then began a successful career in the business world. He tried to instill the same philosophies and work ethic into his own ﬁve children. He wanted them to excel in everything they did — through sheer force of will, if nothing else. And in four of those cases, it worked out pretty well for him. He had four children who were every bit as athletically gifted as he was, if not more so. One of his sons attended the United States Air Force Academy, while another attended the United States Naval Academy. For four of his children, pretty much everything they touched turned to gold. And then there was me. I don’t think I ever ﬁt the mold my father had envisioned for his children. I wasn’t remotely athletic. Not that I didn’t try. But I couldn’t ﬁnd a sport in which I didn’t manage to stink up the ﬁeld. He coached my older brothers and sister in all the sports they played. He never coached me. He came to my games when I was younger, and I distinctly remember him standing farther and farther way as I moved up the ranks. Eventually, he just stopped coming. I always ﬁgured my lack of any discernable skills probably embarrassed him. He and I didn’t exactly see eye to eye when it came to how we wanted to live our lives, either. He was big into getting an education and utilizing it to succeed in the corporate world. Decades after he left the Army, he remained a military man at heart. Everything in its place and a place for everything. Spit-shine until it glistens and make sure every corner is crisp and clean. I, on the other hand, was a free spirit and a free thinker who didn’t hesitate to challenge authority — whether it be his or anyone else’s. I guess I always sort of felt like nothing I ever did would be good enough to please him or exceptional enough to make him proud. As I got older, I accepted that as fact. Until he passed away three years ago today. When I was helping my mother go through some of his belongings, I came across a thick, blue folder in one of his ﬁling cabinets (my dad loved ﬁling cabinets … they appealed to his organized nature, I suppose). It was ﬁlled with clippings of dozens of my old Troy Daily News columns. Each was cut out in perfect rectangles, each one was meticulously dated in his almost-mechanical penmanship. Some dated back to the late 1990s, the beginning of my career. I pulled out more folders. I found more columns. There were hundreds of them. He had been clipping them out of the newspaper and ﬁling them away almost until the day he died. I showed them to my mother. She just smiled and told me he had saved all of them, and how proud he was to have a son writing for the local newspaper. I asked her why he had never mentioned that to me. “You know your father,” she said. “That just wasn’t his way. He was always proud of you. He could never say it.” I hope he’s reading this column right now, wherever he may be. You don’t have to say anything, Dad. I’m glad I could make you proud. THEIR VIEW Santa Claus…to lie or not to lie Ho-ho-ho. Do your kids believe in the magical, mythical, mysterious bearded man in the red suit who drives a sleigh with eight reindeer? Did you believe in the jolly ole guy during your childhood? Is your family seeped in the Santaobsessed season? Well, here’s my question: Is there any harm to children when parents lie about Santa Claus being a real person? Answer: It depends on who you ask. David Johnson, PhD, author of the book, The Myths that Stole Christmas (Humanistic Press, 2015) debunks the myth that “The Santa Claus Lie is Harmless.” Lying to children gives the message that parents cannot be trusted, so the argument goes. Is Johnson just a Christmas scrooge and a Santa naysayer? And don’t adults teach kids not to lie. Hmmm. And aren’t children disciplined for lying. How do children learn to distinguish fantasy from reality when adults tell tall tales about ﬂying reindeer? Elves at the North Pole? A naughty and nice list? Parents tell kids that every Santa at the mall, in a parade, and in a store half a lie. The is the real deal.

The natural imagination of children allows them to read ﬁctional books, create stories, and enjoy superheroes. Child-development experts assert the beneﬁts of a healthy imagination for producing curious and creative kids. And pretend play is a healthy component of a child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. What’s a parent to do? Parents get to choose whether they reinforce the traditional Santa story with their own children based on their religious values, cultural beliefs, and preferences. And the same thing goes for the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. HoHo-Ho. Melissa Martin, Ph.D., is an author, columnist, educator, and therapist.

I did not like to crochet at all, so I would make my stitches really tight on purpose, and when my mother would tell me they weren’t right, I would have to do it again. I would tell her that I just couldn’t do it and I kept making the stitches too tight. My mother kept making me do it over, so I gave up and began crocheting.” When King developed breast cancer three years ago, she stayed with her daughter Grace King Scott in Marion, Ohio, while taking treatments at James Cancer Center in Columbus. Resolved to “keep busy, I can’t just sit here,” her daughter took her to visit the nearby retirement center where volunteers were crocheting hats. “One woman just couldn’t crochet no matter how hard she tried, so I told her I could, and we agreed that I would make the hats and she would distribute the ones we volunteers made, and so it began…” This cancer survivor has made hats 165 that have gone to James Cancer Center and 300 to other groups. “My hats went to the James Cancer Center, to my daughter Grace for whoever needed them, I think some went to Romania, and to my daughter Jeneoa King Stanphill in Florida to give to missionaries. And I’m still crocheting.” King enjoys traveling, but will miss her companion of 16 years, “It will be different when I get on the plane to go to Florida this winter, Snooks went everywhere with me, my husband brought home a Jack Russell puppy a year before he passed. I didn’t want a dog, but I guess God knew that I would need him. I don’t know what I would have done without him he was always there for me.” As King spends her winter in Florida, she said she will continue making hats, and has plenty of yarn thanks to her family. “I never run out of yarn, “ King said. “I can’t get around like I used to, so I just keep making hats, it is the way I can ‘keep busy’ now.” Sarah Hawley | Sentinel The Meigs County Commissioners recently approved a proclamation for National Home Care and Pallative Care Month, November 2018.

Whatever it was, Michigan and Ohio State struggled with middling Big Ten teams Saturday. Instead of easy tuneups, the games against 5-5 teams nearly became nightmare traps. Ohio State played horrendous defense and escaped with a 52-51 overtime win only because Maryland quarterback Tyrrelle Pigrome misﬁred on a 2-point conversion try. Michigan, holding onto one of the coveted top 4 spots in the College Football Playoff ranking, trailed Indiana 17-15 at halftime before escaping with a 31-20 victory . But both prevailed, preserving the enormity of the annual heavyweight ﬁght. The Big Ten East and a chance to play Northwestern for the conference championship hangs in the balance. If No. 4 Michigan wins out, it almost certainly will secure a spot in the playoff. The No. 10 Buckeyes likely would be satisﬁed with a conference championship in this season of injuries, inconsistent play and off-the-ﬁeld turmoil, but a victory also would preserve a sliver of a playoff possibility for them. Of course, ruining a championship run for the hated rival Wolverines would be a welcome byproduct of a win in Columbus. Ohio State has won the past six in the series, which means that in four seasons at Michigan, coach Jim Harbaugh has yet to win the one game he was brought to Ann Arbor to win. As far as how the teams have matched up, this may be his best chance so far. So it’ll be another big one. “It’s the game everybody wants, it’s the game we want,” Michigan safety Josh Metellus said. “Last stop on the revenge tour. We take this one personal. You know, Thanksgiving week, great week, great week for football, and this is one of those games you’re just all hyped up for, the reason you come to Michigan.” Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 10) scored a lot of points RedStorm women win Bevo title By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing Courtesy photo Rio Grande’s Sydney Holden lets go of a shot during the first half of Saturday’s game against Bluefield State College in the women’s championship game of the Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament at the Newt Oliver Arena. RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Chyna Chambers poured in a career-high 19 points to lead ﬁve double-digit scorers for the University of Rio Grande in a 90-70 win over Blueﬁeld State College, Saturday afternoon, in the women’s division championship game of the Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament at the Newt Oliver Arena. The RedStorm improved to 6-0 with the victory. The Big Blues, an NCAA Division II school, slipped to 3-2 with the loss. Chambers, a sophomore guard from Columbus, Ohio whose previous career-best outing was 16 points, scored 12 of her 19 points after halftime. Rio Grande blew open a tight game with a 21-9 second quarter advantage to take a 40-22 lead at the half. The RedStorm stretched its cushion to 24 points by the close of the third period and led by as many as 26 points, 86-60, following a three-point goal by junior Natalie Seeberg (Urbana, OH) with 2:12 remaining in the game. Senior Megan Liedtke (Beverly, OH) added a career-high 14 points and 10 rebounds in the winning effort for Rio, while senior Jasmine Smith (Canal Winchester, OH) ﬁnished with 12 points, senior Sydney Holden (Wheelersburg, OH) had 11 points, eight rebounds and three steals and senior Jaida Carter (New Philadelphia, OH) netted 10 points. Rio Grande shot 54.5 percent from the ﬂoor in the second half and just under 49 percent for the game. Madison Wilcox and Kylah Webb had 12 points each to pace Blueﬁeld State, while Kara Sandy ﬁnished with 11 points.

The RedStorm improved to 2-4 with the victory, snapping a twogame losing slide in the process. Washington Adventist, which also dropped a three-point decision to West Virginia UniversityTech in Friday’s opening round, dropped to 1-3 with the loss. The Shock led 62-61 after Therence Mayimba connected on one of two free throw attempts with 56.2 seconds remaining to play, but Schreiter - a junior from Mason, Ohio - delivered an answered prayer by burying a 30-foot three-pointer as the shot clock expired to give the RedStorm a 64-62 edge with 25 seconds remaining. Rio came up with a defensive stop on WAU’s ensuing possession and freshman Gunner Short (Catlettsburg, KY) subsequently hit one of two free throw tries with 2.9 seconds left to extend the lead to 65-62.

(AP) — Joey Logano’s team headed to South Beach long before NASCAR’s newest champion wrapped up his obligations at HomesteadMiami Speedway. He was emotional, exhausted and still trying to comprehend how he’d chased down The Big Three to snatch his ﬁrst career NASCAR title. “I don’t even know how to party,” Logano said. “I guess I’m just going to follow whatever they do.” Team Penske was indeed waiting for the newly minted champion to arrive and show him how to celebrate — just another life lesson learned on the job for Logano. Logano has literally grown up on NASCAR’s national stage, transitioning from over-hyped teenager to seasoned veteran during a decade-long journey in which many of his experiences played out publicly and made him an easy target for his peers to push around. Few knew what to make out of the gangly kid from Connecticut when Hall of Fame driver Mark Martin declared him NASCAR’s next superstar. Logano got the nickname “Sliced Bread” even before his ﬁrst NASCAR event, and after being held in development by Joe Gibbs Racing the team celebrated his 18th birthday with a sheet cake at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Gibbs was ready to see Logano’s promised talent and had him in a race one week after he was legally old enough to compete in NASCAR. Old enough but maybe not ready. “I expected to go out there and win and just got my butt handed to me on a platter,” Logano said. See LOGANO | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Logano Team Penske had an open seat alongside 2012 champion Brad Keselowski, who wanted From page 6 Logano as his teammate.

That was the most difﬁcult bump to date in Logano’s climb. It is also the one that likely helped him win the championship. It toughened him up and taught him a valuable lesson in handing adversity. Logano found another gear at the start of the playoffs and outperformed Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr., the so-called Big Three that dominated the regular season. Logano won twice in the postseason, including Sunday night’s ﬁnale at HomesteadMiami Speedway, never thinking he couldn’t win this title — even as the underdog in a heavyweight ﬁeld and even in those frantic ﬁnal moments after a late caution and restart when he had to mash the gas on the No. 22 Ford and go for broke. In previous seasons, Logano had been a target for championship contenders in the lead up to the ﬁnale. They used NASCAR’s mandatory promotional appearances to try to psyche Logano out of the title. He was likely susceptible to it, too. On the eve of the 2014 championship, when Logano was set to race against tough-asnails Harvick, Logano Wednesday, November 21, 2018 7 admitted he bingewatched “Boy Meets World” with his wife to relax. He’s 28 now, the father of an infant son he and his wife struggled to conceive, and has a decade of experience navigating NASCAR. When NASCAR sent the title contenders out to promote the ﬁnale last week, Logano held his own, didn’t let anyone get in his head and told everyone he was the favorite. Now he’s a NASCAR champion. “You can’t just be conﬁdent and say (things) because then it’s just kind of BS, right?” Logano said. “You have to believe it inside. You honestly need to preach to yourself sometimes, and I do that as much as I can and to our race team, because we didn’t have a reason to not feel conﬁdent. We’ve executed under high pressure situations before, and we’ve been here before. I just had to go do my job.” OVP SPORTS BRIEFS PMYL youth basketball tournament to be held RUTLAND, Ohio — The Pomeroy/Middleport Youth League will be having its annual youth basketball tournament at the Rutland Civic Center from Dec. 19 through Dec. 30 for both girls and boys in grades 4-6 — all seperate divisions.

Dobbins — handling the bulk of the carries because of a quad bruise to Mike Weber — piled up a career-high 203 yards and quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. broke two more single-season passing records. The Buckeyes will need all that ﬁrepower when they face Michigan and the nation’s top defense. But the Ohio State defense has been as ﬂimsy as the offense has been explosive. The unit allowed Maryland to pile up 595 yards of offense, including 298 on the ground by freshman running back Anthony McFarland. “We’ve had some really good defensive play at times but not consistent,” Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano said. “Rest assured, every waking minute we have we’re going to try to get that ﬁxed. The one thing we have going is that we’re 10-1 and we still have a chance. We’ll have to go out next week and ﬁnd a way.” Michigan (10-1, 8-0, CFP No. 4) needed a school record six ﬁeld goals from Jake Moody to get past scrappy Indiana. Star defensive end Chase Winovich left the game midway through the third quarter with an apparent shoulder injury, but Harbaugh said X-rays and CAT scans were negative. There’s no word yet on whether he’ll be available for the Ohio State game. History has shown that records and results from the week before don’t mean much when these two teams clash the Saturday after Thanksgiving, usually in frigid temperatures under gray clouds and with snow swirling in the air. “(This) game,” Dobbins said, “is what I left Texas to come up here for.” 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 6 PM 6:30 WSAZ News 3 (N) WTAP News at Six (N) ABC 6 News at 6pm (N) Arthur NBC Nightly News (N) NBC Nightly News (N) ABC World News (N) Family Travel With Colleen Kelly News at 6 ABC World (N) News (N) 10TV News CBS Evening at 6 p.m. (N) News (N) Eyewitness Daily Mail TV News 6:30 BBC World Nightly News: Business America Report (N) 13 News at CBS Evening 6:00 p.m. (N) News (N) 6 PM 6:30 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21 7 PM 7:30 Wheel of Jeopardy!

Fourth loss leaves Bengals in free fall CINCINNATI (AP) — Head coach Marvin Lewis ﬁred the defensive coordinator and installed himself in a dual role. Bengals players talked about their trip to Baltimore as a pivotal moment in the season, almost a last-stand opportunity. They wound up getting run over. Now what? A 24-21 loss in Baltimore on Sunday dropped the Bengals (5-5) three games behind Pittsburgh in the loss column for the AFC North lead with only six weeks left in the season. Their fourth loss in ﬁve games put them in danger of missing out on the playoffs for the third straight season. A shakeup of the coaching staff didn’t make enough of a difference. Cincinnati is relegated to hoping that some of its injured players return and salvage a season that’s gone from promising to unsettling. “Everyone is frustrated,” offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said Monday. “Everyone’s nerves are a little frayed right now. Everyone is searching.” Lewis decided to ﬁre defensive coordinator Teryl Austin after the Bengals gave up 500 yards for the third straight game, a ﬁrst in the Super Bowl era. He took over the coordinator’s duties and hired ﬁred Browns head coach Hue Jackson to help on the sidelines during games. It didn’t go well in Baltimore. The Bengals ended that streak of 500-yard games, holding the Ravens to 403, but they were on the wrong end of more defensive history. Cincinnati allowed 265 yards rushing, the most during Lewis’ 16 seasons as head coach.

Burfict back in the spotlight Linebacker Vontaze Burﬁct played with a sore hip that sidelined him the previous week. He was on the ﬁeld for 36 of 79 plays, showing the effects of the injury — he had only four tackles. He also was involved in an altercation with guard Marshal Yanda after a play, part of a scrum on the ground involving several players. The ofﬁcials didn’t penalize anyone. Lewis said on Monday that the coaches’ ﬁlm doesn’t show what happened in the altercation. Hue Again? Browns set to face former coach Jackson, Bengals BEREA, Ohio (AP) — While the Browns relaxed during the bye week, their ﬁred former coach went back to work. Hue Jackson’s got a new gig. And this strange season in Cleveland will take another odd turn Sunday when the Browns face the Bengals and Jackson, who somehow survived an 0-16 season and was only brieﬂy unemployed before being hired last week as a special assistant to Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis. “It is Hue,” defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said. But even though Jackson has changed back into Bengals stripes, the Browns aren’t worried that their ex-coach on the sideline gives Cincinnati an added advantage. “It’s a divisional game!” cried Browns safety Damarious Randall. “We knew what they were doing before he went over there and Urgent Care & Pharmacy Hours Thursday, November 22 ﬁrst wild card at 7-3. The Bengals host the Browns (3-6-1) on Sunday. “It’s a race now, and that’s what we’re here for,” Lewis said after the game. “That’s the thing: Now it’s a race to the ﬁnish.” A race they once led, but that’s now getting away from them. they know exactly what we’re going to do. At the end of the day, we’re just going to go out and punch them in the mouth — straight up. That’s exactly what you have to do on the road rivalry games. You have to go punch them in the mouth. “If that’s what we do, it doesn’t matter what they have over there.” Jackson’s same-season reunion against the Browns seems to be unprecedented. The NFL doesn’t keep record of coaches facing their former teams. “It is surprising,” Browns guard Kevin Zeitler said. The Browns (3-6-1) returned from their week off healthier than they’ve been all season, and there was even chatter inside the locker room about making a playoff run over the next six weeks. First, though, comes a somewhat awkward reunion with Jackson, who was ﬁred on Oct. 29, a day after the Classifieds NOTICE AND EXPLANATION OF A PROPOSED ACTION IN A 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN 11/20/2018 To: All Interested Agencies, Groups, and Individuals: The Board of Meigs County Commissioners has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain will have on the environment. The project being considered is the Demolition Project to demolish commercial structure located at 192 South 2nd Ave, CDBG Community Development Grant Funding, located in the Village of Middleport. The Board of Meigs County Commissioners has determined that approval of the project will have no significant impact on the environment for the following reasons: 1. Meigs County is a participating jurisdiction in the National Flood Insurance Program. The existing storm drainage system located at the edge of the property will not be affected by this demolition, with minimal impact to the environment. 2. No impact to the floodplain is anticipated from this project. The project will involve removing an existing structure in Middleport Village. Disturbance of the floodplain will be minimal by utilizing the following procedures: a. Best Construction Practices will be adhered to in order to minimize erosion into public waters. b. The demolition project has been designed so that there will be no loss of flood storage capacity as a result of this project and that groundwater recharge will not be impacted. c. No impact on natural or cultural resources within the floodplain is anticipated. 3. The projects positive impact of demolishing an unsafe and unsanitary structure outweighs the minimal impact to the environment. Any interested person, agency, or group wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments for consideration to the Board of Meigs County Commissioners at the following address by 4:00 p. m. on 11/29/2018, which is at least 7 days after the publication of this notice. Betsy Entsminger, Meigs County Grants Administrator, 100 East 2nd Street Suite 301 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769 or at 740-992-4630 Other agencies involved with this evaluation include: Middleport Village Floodplain Administrator, Meigs County Engineer, Ohio Development Services Agency and Meigs County elected officials. Meigs County Commissioners 11/21/18 Browns lost in Pittsburgh. Jackson’s dismissal wasn’t unexpected, given his struggles in Cleveland. But his return to Cincinnati, where Jackson worked as offensive coordinator with the Bengals (5-5) under Lewis before he was hired by the Browns in 2016, has created two matchups in which the spotlight will be focused on him — whether he likes it or not. Jackson had a good rapport with his players in Cleveland and several on Monday said they were thrilled he landed on his feet so quickly. “It will feel a little awkward, but I’m very happy for coach Jackson,” cornerback T.J. Carrie said. “He is a great coach and a great person. It was not going to be a long time before he wasn’t without a job, so it is really good just to be able to see him in a position where he is being able to control a lot of the things over there.” Jackson’s intimate knowledge of Cleveland’s personnel, schemes and playbook would seem to give the Bengals an almost unfair beneﬁt. But like Randall, Carrie said AFC North games are decided by which team executes better and not by any insider knowledge. Carrie doesn’t think Jackson jumping teams makes any difference. “These divisional games, we play year in and year out twice a year,” he said. “We know what they are going to do. They know what we are going to do. There is not really more scheme-wise that they can really dive into that we can surprise them with. It is all going to be about going out there and playing smash-mouth football.” Interim Browns coach Gregg Williams said he was “happy” for Jackson and called him a “very smart coach.” However, he said the Browns won’t change any of their play call or audibles and Jackson’s familiarity with the Browns won’t make much difference once the game starts. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
