Local author releases new book on coaching, life Staff Report ATHENS — Local author Chris Stewart is releasing a new book that expands on many topics related to coaching and life. It’s not just a book for coaches, but a book for anyone who needs a coach, which is everyone. “Coaching Life” is the second book authored by Stewart, who has a passion for coaching and a love for people. A release announcing the new book states, Stewart believes there is great value in giving the best you have to offer every single day so that someone else will be challenged to do the same. Coaching Life lays out principles and practical ways we can each do just that. Stewart writes, “We are made with an intrinsically fascinating paradox of purpose. That is, we are most satisﬁed and happy when we give of ourselves to another.” When we talk about coaching, we are not talking about helping people to win games. We are not really talking about games at all. Yes, there is a lot of sports talk in Coaching Life, but it is about so much more than sports. Coaching is about people, not games, not business projects, not organizations, or any other abstract thing. If there were no people, there would be no coaching. The coaching life is about loving people. Stewart contends that we are all coaches. Every person in this life has someone else who looks to them from time to time for guidance, inspiration, motivation, and even correction. Likewise, he claims that every person needs a coach. In many ways, that’s what this book is — a coach. When you pick up a copy of Coaching Life you are not just buying a book. You are buying a coach. And you just might be buying life change.

Santa visits the museum By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — Santa took time from his busy schedule to pay a visit to the Meigs Historical Society Saturday afternoon. Although the day was rainy with no snow in sight, Santa managed to arrive at the MHS Annex on Butternut Avenue at noon. As children arrived to the seasonally decorated Annex, their ﬁrst stop was a visit with Santa. After sharing their Christmas lists and having their picture taken, they each made a Christmas themed craft with the assistance of Museum volunteers. Several of the children shared their Christmas lists: Addison Hysell asked Santa for a Calico Critter House, and her brother Gavin hopes to ﬁnd Baseball Cards under the tree; the Stitt brothers were very excited about the visit — Gabe asked for a Nintendo Switch, and Darion and Raedon both want Hover Balls, and hope that if Gabe gets his wish, he will share the Nintendo Photos by Lorna Hart | Courtesy (From left) Addison Hysell, Macie Crites, Gabe, Darion, and Raedon Stitt visit with Harper Hysell, and Gavin Hysell visited with Santa.

Customers place an order on their smartphone or laptop and get a text message when the groceries are on their way. Another message will alert them when the delivery is curbside. Once the vehicle arrives, the customer will receive a code to punch in to open the doors, Giannonatti said. Customers will pay a ﬂat fee of $5.95 and can request sameday or next-day delivery. The unmanned delivery vehicles will be followed by a “shadow car,” driven by a person with the ability to stop or control it. This car is being used in the early stages of the program out of caution and will be phased out, Ferguson said. “This is not yet at the point where in any way it’s economically better than just sending someone out in a car to deliver your groceries,” said Bryant Walker Smith, a professor at the University of South Carolina, who teaches about emerging technologies. “It will probably cost much more, and the range is minimal, and there are lots of ways it would not be a true, commercial-scale, viable deployment, but it’s an important step on that path.” Technological hurdles and apprehension have limited attempts to deploy fully autonomous vehicles on public streets. Uber pulled its self-driving cars out of Arizona this year after one of the ride-hailing service’s robotic vehicles hit and killed a woman as she crossed a darkened street in a Phoenix suburb in March. It was the ﬁrst death involving a fully autonomous vehicle. A backup driver was at the wheel.

The venture will operate under the GSK Consumer Healthcare name worldwide. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2019, after which the two businesses will be integrated and packaging likely will be altered to add the GSK Consumer Healthcare name where needed. Spokespeople for both GlaxoSmithKline and Pﬁzer on Wednesday said they couldn’t comment yet or had no information on changes consumers might see in the combined product lineup, whether product prices might be changed and whether the new business would be developing additional consumer items. It is expected to take three years to merge the businesses across some 100 countries as well as to wait for the uncertainties surrounding Britain’s departure from the European Union to subside. The companies eventually plan to spin off the joint venture into an independent company, likely in several years, and list its stock in the U.K. “I’m conﬁdent we’ll be in a more settled environment than we are in today,” GlaxoSmithKline PLC CEO Emma Walmsley said. Consumer financial watchdog abandons name change plan NEW YORK (AP) — The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has decided to abandon a controversial renaming plan, in one of the ﬁrst big decisions by its new permanent director. The CFPB will no longer pursue renaming itself the “Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection,” a change that had been sought by Mick Mulvaney, President Trump’s acting director of the bureau. The decision was announced in an email by Kathy Kraninger, who became the CFPB’s permanent director earlier this month. The CFPB was created by the Dodd-Frank Act, the law that rewrote the rules governing the banking and ﬁnancial system after the 2008 ﬁnancial crisis. The bureau was called the “Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection” in the law, but the CFPB has never referred to itself that way. Mulvaney had argued he was just following the letter of the law when it came to renaming the bureau. Kraninger cited cost factors in renaming the bureau as well as years of branding and identiﬁcation the CFPB had built up over the last decade. The banking industry has thousands of disclosures and paperwork that referred to the CFPB, and reprinting those documents could have been a signiﬁcant cost. has been offering free rides in robotic vehicles with no backup driver as part of a test program in the Phoenix area for the past year. Earlier this month, Waymo launched a ride-hailing service available to about 200 people that will have a person behind the wheel in case something goes awry. Giannonatti of Kroger said safety is paramount in this next step of autonomous vehicle technology. Because Nuro’s R1 delivery vehicle is unmanned, it was designed to prioritize safety of other drivers and pedestrians without trading off the safety or comfort of a driver or passengers, Ferguson said. The vehicle’s size — half the width of a Toyota Corolla — also helps prevent collisions with pedestrians because there’s more buffer room, he said. Kroger has been working to boost online sales to keep up with Walmart and Amazon, which bought grocer Whole Foods last year. Ohio University SBDC recognized at statewide conference ATHENS — Three counselors from Ohio University’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) were recognized at the Ohio SBDC statewide conference in November for earned certiﬁcations and outstanding work. Cindy Voorhies, SBDC director and business advisor for Belmont, Guernsey and Muskingum counties, received the Peer Advocacy Award for her distinguished work in promoting SBDC services. The award recognizes an individual who goes above and beyond to educate and raise awareness of the Small Business Development Center, especially with funding partners and local ofﬁcials. OHIO SBDC Regional Director Lissa Jollick nominated Voorhies for the award due to her ongoing outreach to make economic development ofﬁcials more aware of the SBDC, and to ensure partners recognize the ways the SBDC can assist them. “I feel blessed to be working for someone that respects me and values my work,” Voorhies said. “When I won, I felt truly blessed to be working for Lissa, Ohio University and with the Ohio Small Business Development Center network.” Advisors Carleen Dotson and John Voorhies received their Certiﬁed Business Advisor designations. The Certiﬁed Business Advisor is a graduate-level certiﬁcation process administered by Kent State University. Its three courses on human resource management, marketing and accounting/ ﬁnance are designed to maximize on-the-job performance by those who advise small businesses. All Ohio SBDC counselors are required to earn the certiﬁcation within six months of being hired. Jollick said her team’s recognition at the state conference is further proof that the Ohio University SBDC is doing an exceptional job.

OH-70097413 �Opinion 4 Thursday, December 20, 2018 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Other drivers driving me crazy on the road Having just driven approximately two billion miles in the past six weeks, it seems to me it’s time to discuss vehicles and the people who operate them. Please note my reticence in using the kind word “people” instead of the harsh judgmental term “morons.” You see, there are a lot — a lot — of pea-brains maneuvering motorized transportation devices on today’s Interstates. And highways. And county roads. And, in some especially moron-intensive areas, sidewalks. I am limited to about eight hunMarla dred words here so it will be possible Boone to address only the most egregious Contributing driving ﬂaws of others. I myself am columnist an excellent driver and am happy to share my vast experience with those who have yet to grasp the ﬁner nuances of the turn signal, the lane change, the proper use of the passing lane, and, of course, the speed limit. First, the turn signal. The turn signal is a signal The proper use used to signal an upcom- of the passing ing turn. The salient lane is to pass. points of a turn signal are It is not to set as follows: if you intend up housekeeping to make a turn, deploy the turn signal signal, in the far left preferably correctly lane, going fiftyindicating the direction five miles an in which you propose hour in order to turning. The choices here are fairly limited: avoid merging right or left. The person traffic and other behind you will be incredbothersome ibly grateful to know of events. your intentions. He or she will be so overcome with gratitude it’s possible they will not ram you from behind for not making sudden unannounced moves. It follows that turning on the turn signal after you have actually initiated your turn does zero good. There are no bonus points awarded for signaling sometime after the steering wheel has been rotated ninety degrees. Second, the lane change. This is an adjunct to the turn signal. If you would like to change lanes (and who wouldn’t?) it is considered good form to alert your fellow travelers of that wish. In certain parts of the country, your fellow travelers will be so moved by your announcement that they will make room for you to enter their lane. Do not — repeat, do not — expect this courtesy everywhere. Some of your fellow travelers see your desire to be in their lane as a direct affront to their need to be jerks. Also, it is very common for drivers of large, wobbly, speeding semis that now weigh more than the space shuttle to use their turn signal not to ask to move over, but to tell you they are moving over. “Here I come, ready (or room) or not,” they are saying via a blinking light. This makes for an interesting drive and increased business for your local body shop. Third, proper use of the passing lane. The proper use of the passing lane is to pass. It is not to set up housekeeping in the far left lane, going ﬁfty-ﬁve miles an hour in order to avoid merging trafﬁc and other bothersome events. But even a stellar driver such as myself sometimes gets caught up in the act of passing. I go into the left lane (after assuring it is not already occupied… this is an important step) I pass one car. Just a little farther ahead I see another car on which I am gaining ground. Should I just stay in the passing lane until I overtake this car as well? Because you know and I know there will be another and another and another car just begging to be passed. How long is it acceptable to stay in the passing lane? After hours of tireless research I can tell you this: it is acceptable to stay there until the car behind you, also in a frenzy of passing, is tailgating so closely they are partially in the trunk of your car. If you are driving a pick-up truck, they are ﬁrmly ensconced in the bed of the truck. They might be gently, or not-so-gently, tapping your rear bumper with their front bumper in a friendly reminder to get the heck out of my way!!! Except they don’t say “heck” but the ﬁrst two letters are the same. This brings us, naturally, to the speed limit. Obviously, the speed limit displayed on those useful road side signs is merely a suggestion. No one, except those previously chastised persons loitering unlawfully in the passing lane, is going the posted speed limit. Some drivers seem to add a “1” in front of the speed limit. These are the endlessly entertaining folks who weave in and out of trafﬁc in order to get to the scene of their accident more quickly. Other people cruise a mere twenty miles per hour over. Some less adventurous souls go ten over, while the meek who are going to inherit the earth instead of speeding tickets, go ﬁve over. But here’s the thing: what really is the threshold for speeding without getting pulled over? Because that’s the speed I’m driving.

THEIR VIEW The empty chair As the holiday season arrives, all of us have that empty chair at the dining room table: a parent, a sibling, a child, a friend. If you will be patient with me, I’d like to make a suggestion. At that special meal, acknowledge that empty chair. If you’d like, put a photograph there or a special memento. To teach the young ones at the table lessons they need to learn and to bring comfort to the adults, share two or three stories about the ways in which that person made a positive difference in the lives of others. This year I chose to honor my mother, Opal Bowling, known as Aunt Bo and Granny Opal and to her children, Mother. Story Number One: Many of my readers know little or nothing about home-made dresses, but as a child — and until I was a teen — most of my clothes were homemade.

She was a master rose gardener as well, and Jackson & Perkins packages arrived regularly at her home on Boone Street in Toledo with rose bushes looking as if they were dead. Before long, those ugly brambles had turned into beautiful ﬂowers. We have the ability to make a powerful difference in the lives of others. With our behavior, let’s make our world better even as during this holiday season we share the memories of those who have inspired us.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the short-term spending measure was a “simple” bill that would show Republicans, who control Congress now, will ﬁnish the year by not prolonging a potential crisis. It would provide money to keep the government running to Feb. 8. “Republicans will continue to ﬁll our duty to govern,” McConnell said. With the Senate on track to approve the measure, it would next go to the House, where lawmakers were returning to session late Wednesday evening. Votes were uncertain there, but approval was expected before Friday’s deadline, J. Scott Applewhite | AP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., joined by Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., left, and Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, right, arrives to speak to reporters about the possibility of a partial government shutdown at the Capitol in Washington on Tuesday. A shutdown appeared unlikely as the Senate prepared to pass a short-term spending measure that would fund the government until Feb. 8. “he’ll take a look at that certainly.” On Twitter, Trump appeared to respond to criticism that he was retreating. He insisted that “one way or the other, we will win on the Wall!” Should the legislation become law, the border money ﬁght would drag into the next Congress, which could prove when federal funding for a portion of the government expires. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi signaled support. The swift pace in Congress came after Trump moved off his demand. Trump has not said that he would sign such a temporary measure, but White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday said even more difﬁcult for Trump with a Democratic-led House. Pelosi, who is poised to become House speaker, will probably be able to quickly win approval of a longer-term measure to keep government running in 2019. “Democrats will be ready to fully, responsibly fund our government in January,” Pelosi said in a statement. Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey of New York, who will take over as Appropriations Committee chairwoman, said she was disappointed that Trump and the Republican Congress “couldn’t even complete their ﬁnal task of funding the government” and instead chose to “kick the can down the road for a third time.” McConnell, on the other hand, lashed out at Democrats for failing to give Trump any of the $5 billion that he wanted for the wall. “This seems to be the reality of our political moment,” McConnell said. “It seems like political spite for the president may be winning out over sensible policy.” MEIGS BRIEFS Editor’s Note: Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis. port on Tuesday, Dec. 25.

Congress often approves pay for such affected workers retroactively, even if they were ordered to stay home. Just last week, at a televised meeting at the White House, Trump said he would be “proud” to shut the government down over the wall. But the White House showed its willingness to budge as it became apparent the president did not have support in Congress for paying for the wall at the $5 billion level.

Tough ﬁnish. Host Alexander shot 50 percent from the ﬁeld and outscored the River Valley boys basketball team by a 31-7 margin in the opening quarter of each half while cruising to a 59-35 victory on Tuesday night in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division boys basketball contest at ‘The Alley’ in Athens County. The visiting Raiders (1-5, 0-2 TVC Ohio) made just 1-of-7 ﬁrst quarter shot attempts, and the Spartans (6-0, 3-0) made the most of that opportunity by storming out to a sizable 17-5 advantage after eight minutes of play. The Silver and Black managed to string together a slim 17-16 run during the second canto to whittle the lead down to 33-22 at the break, but the guests were ultimately never closer the rest of the way. The Red and Black made a pivotal 14-2 surge in the third canto to establish a 47-24 edge headed into the ﬁnale, then closed regulation with a 12-11 spurt to wrap up the 24-point outcome. AHS claimed a small 26-24 advantage in rebounds, with both teams hauling in seven offensive caroms. The NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers placed seven players in the Pro Bowl, including safety Derwin James, one of six rookies across the league to make the game. James, a ﬁrst-round draft choice, will be joined on the AFC squad by veteran quarterback Philip Rivers, wide receiver Keenan Allen, running back Melvin Gordon, defensive end Melvin Ingram, center Mike Pouncey and special-teamer Adrian Phillips for the game, which will be played Jan. 27 in Orlando. James and Phillips are the only starters, though. Rivers is a backup to Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes, one of 29 ﬁrsttime Pro Bowlers. That, of course, includes all the rookies: James, Giants running back Saquon Barkley, Seahawks punter Michael Dickson, Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay, Indianapolis guard Quenton Nelson and Cleveland cornerback Denzel Wads. Lindsay is an undrafted player. New England’s Tom Brady is the other AFC quarterback, making it for the 14th time. Noticeably missing is the Colts’ Andrew Luck. New Orleans, led by quarterback Drew Brees, Dallas and Chicago paced the NFC with ﬁve players each. Brees is the starter, backed up by Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and the Rams’ Jared Goff. Buffalo, Oakland and South Gallia tops OVCS in wire-to-wire win, 54-23 Raiders also committed 15 of the 23 total turnovers in the contest. RVHS netted 13-of-43 ﬁeld goal attempts for 30 percent, including a 4-of11 effort from 3-point territory for 36 percent. The guests were also 2-of-4 at the free throw line for 50 percent. Brandon Call paced River Valley with 15 points, followed by Rory Twyman and Miles Morrison with nine markers apiece. Matt Mollohan completed the Raiders’ tally with two points. RVHS leading scorer Jordan Lambert was held scoreless in four quarters of play, missing all ﬁve shot attempts and both free throw tries. The Spartans connected on 23-of-46 ﬁeld goal attempts overall and also went 6-of-11 from behind the arc for 55 percent. The hosts were also 7-of11 at the charity stripe for 64 percent. AHS had 10 different players reach the scoring column, with J.K. Kearns leading the charge with 16 points. Stone MarkinsIrwin was next with eight points, while Kam Riley and Caleb Terry respectively added seven and six markers to the winning cause.

Visiting Ohio Valley Christian managed to make things interesting for four minutes, but the South Gallia girls basketball team scored 14 consecutive points over an nine-minute span of the ﬁrst half and eventually rolled to a 54-23 victory on Tuesday night during a non-conference matchup of Gallia County programs. The Lady Rebels (2-7) led wire-to-wire in the 32-minute affair as the hosts jumped out to a quick 6-0 edge 2:10 into regulation, but the Lady Defenders (4-5) countered with four straight points over the next two minutes to close to within 6-4 with 4:12 remaining in the ﬁrst. SGHS, however, forced seven turnovers and allowed only two shot attempts the rest of the period, all while scoring eight consecutive points over the ﬁnal 2:50 en route to a 14-4 ﬁrst quarter advantage. Christine Grifﬁth capped a 6-0 start to the second stanza with a basket at the 4:29 mark, extending the lead out to 20-4.

Chargers lead Pro Bowl selections with 7 players Tampa Bay had no Pro Bowl selections. Pittsburgh and Kansas City each had six players chosen, including such ﬁrst-timers as Steelers running back James Conner and Mahomes, both having breakthrough years. Cleveland has a ﬁrst overall draft choice in the game — not Baker Mayﬁeld, but 2017 top pick Myles Garrett at defensive end. “Football is a team game and you can’t do it on your own,” said Garrett, who leads the Browns with 12½ sacks. “I’m happy to be able to share this experience with Denzel because this honor is really a testament to our entire defense.” Among the perennial AFC choices returning to the game are Houston DE J.J. Watt, Pittsburgh WR Antonio Brown, Baltimore guard Marshal Yanda and safety Eric Weddle, Cincinnati DT Geno Atkins and Denver LB Von Miller. “To get recognized by your peers, the coaches and the fans, it means a lot,” Weddle said. “It’s always special to put in the hard work and to try your best and then get recognized. The Pro Bowl is something I never take for granted, and I’m pretty stoked about it. Each year you just work hard and try to play your very best. To receive recognition for what you do on the ﬁeld, even if it may not show up in other areas, is awesome.” Thursday, December 20, 2018 9 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports South Gallia sophomore Emily Mandeville, right, squares around for a shot attempt during the second half of Tuesday night’s girls basketball contest against Ohio Valley Christian in Mercerville, Ohio. less drought at the 3:03 mark as Leticia Araujo hit a basket, making a 20-6 contest.

(AP) — Two seasons after shutting down its football program, UAB closed out the year on an electrifying note. Tyler Johnston III threw for 373 yards and four touchdowns, three of them to Xavier Ubosi, and UAB beat Northern Illinois 37-13 in the Boca Raton Bowl on Tuesday night. Ubosi had seven catches for 227 yards for the Conference USA champion Blazers (11-3), who got their ﬁrst-ever bowl victory in three appearances. UAB played in its second consecutive bowl since the program was reinstated after the selfimposed hiatus. “I guess in our wildest dreams we dreamed of winning a conference championship and then cap it off with a bowl win, so it’s really that sweet,” UAB coach Bill Clark said. “I don’t think it could have gone any better for us, so I’m very proud.” Northern Illinois (8-6), the MidAmerican Conference champion, has lost six consecutive bowl games since beating Arkansas in the 2012 GoDaddy. com Bowl. “It really comes down to three things. We gave up three touchdowns on three deep balls,” NIU coach Rod Carey said. “Old-fashioned go routes. Give those guys credit. They ran by us. They threw it, caught it. That’s the difference. If not, it’s 16-13. In the fourth quarter, I like our chances. “We have to own it as coaches. We have to own it as players. We didn’t coach good enough. We didn’t play good enough. Thirteen points isn’t winning football. Bummer.” Johnston, who took over the starting job for the injured A.J. Erdely at midseason, set career highs in passing yards and touchdown passes, and Ubosi’s 227 yards were the third-most receiving in a game in school history. Ubosi came into the game ranked second in the country at 21.8 yards per catch, and his TD receptions covered 70, 46 and 66 yards. “I’m surprised but at the same time you work for it,” Ubosi said. “Just practice hard and whatever you do in practice you’ll do in the game.” All-American Spencer Brown, who entered with 1,167 rushing yards and a school-record 16 touchdowns, caught a 3-yard shovel pass for a score and had 78 yards on the ground. UAB’s 10th-ranked defense harassed Huskes quarterback Marcus Childers, sacking him ﬁve times and forcing two fumbles (one lost). He ﬁnished 22 of 29 for 179 yards and had 35 yards rushing on 18 carries. NIU led the nation with 50 sacks, but never got to Johnston. Johnston hit Ubosi in stride for a 70-yard TD just 18 seconds after the opening kickoff.

Buckeyes overcome slow start, rout Youngstown COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State’s ﬁrst half against midmajor Youngstown State was a train wreck. But then the No. 15 Buckeyes managed to get back on track with their game plan — primarily getting the ball inside to Kaleb Wesson. The 6-foot-9 sophomore took control in the second half, scoring 26 of his career-high 31 and rallying Ohio State to a 75-56 rout of the Penguins on Tuesday night. “When you got a guy like Kaleb Wesson, he’s a load,” Youngstown State coach Jerrod Calhoun said. “I think he makes the game easier for coach (Chris) Holtmann and the other four players who are out there playing with him. He’s a monster.” The Buckeyes (10-1, 2-0 Big Ten) shot poorly Jay LaPrete | AP Youngstown State’s Devin Morgan, right, looks for an open pass as Ohio State’s C.J. Jackson defends during the first half Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio State won 75-56. in the ﬁrst half and again were forced to rally against an opponent they should have handled easily from the beginning. Ohio State made just 7 of 29 shots from the ﬂoor in the ﬁrst half (24.1 percent) and trailed 25-22 at the intermission before Wesson and his teammates got themselves going offensively. The game stayed close in the ﬁrst half only because Youngstown State didn’t shoot much better. “We had some good looks, but I don’t think we imposed ourselves offensively in the ﬁrst half,” Holtmann said. Wesson had a put-back to give the Buckeyes the lead three minutes into the second half and they rolled from there, shooting 70.4 percent after the intermission. Luther Muhammad and C.J. Jackson each had 11 points for Ohio State, which has won three in a row after losing their only game of the season Nov. 28. Darius Quisenberry had 17 points, and Naz Bohannon added 11 for the Penguins (5-9), who have lost ﬁve of their last six. Youngstown State shot just 36.4 percent for the game.
