Brooks explained that she had recently spoke with Larry Churcheus at the Meigs Veterans Outreach who mentioned that their food pantry was running low. The pantry is used to provide food items to veterans in need, some of whom are homeless. From that came the idea of collecting food items for the Veterans Outreach. When it came to setting a goal for how much they hoped to collect, Payton set the goal at 500 items. Items of particular need include: peanut butter and jelly, noodles, pasta, sauce, canned fruit, canned potatoes, macaroni and cheese, cereals and soups. Items that are quick and easy to ﬁx are preferred. The Veterans Outreach has helped over 200 individuals this year with food needs. In addition, the outreach ﬁxes lunch at the location during the week for veterans to come in and eat lunch. Items will be collected now through Nov. 11 — Veterans Day. A drop-off box has been set up at Wendy’s in Pomeroy for donations. Anyone interested in donating may contact Brooks at 740-444-2318.

Mexico City and nearby states are marking this year’s holiday by remembering the 369 people killed in the Sept. 19 earthquake, 228 of them in the capital, where 38 buildings collapsed. Mexico’s traditional view of the dead is not ghoulish or frightful — rather they are seen as the “dear departed,” people who remain close even after death. On the Nov. 1-2 holiday, Mexicans set up altars with photographs of the dead and plates of their favorite foods in their homes. They gather at their loved ones’ gravesides to drink, sing and talk to the dead.

US factories grew more slowly last month, but remain strong WASHINGTON (AP) — American factories grew more slowly last month, but U.S. manufacturing remains healthy. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Wednesday that its manufacturing index dipped to 58.7 in October from a 13-year high 60.8 in September.

He was responding to questions about his expectations for an upcoming Asian tour by U.S. President Donald Trump, who will visit China and four other countries. The 21-year-old Wong, Hong Kong’s most famous activist, is out on bail while he appeals a prison sentence related to his involvement in massive 2014 prodemocracy protests. “Business interests override human rights,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It unfortunately seems to be a common trend in the world” under a rising China. During Trump’s Asian trip, he said there’s likely to be “a lot of uncertainty. No one can expect what will suddenly be published on his Twitter.” But he urged Trump to not let human rights lose out to commercial considerations, hinting that U.S. business interests could also someday be directly affected by China’s rising clout. As an example, he referred to the recent case of British human rights activist Benedict Rogers, who was barred from entering Hong Kong on what many suspect to be Beijing’s request, and said it might happen again. “The day may come for U.S. politicians to be blocked from entering Hong Kong and when politicians or businessmen from the U.S. might not be possible to enter such an international ﬁnancial center, how can they keep silent on the erosion of Hong Kong autonomy?” he said. Beijing promised to let Hong Kong maintain wide autonomy and civil liberties after its 1997 handover from Britain under the “one country, two systems” blueprint, but pro-democracy activists and lawmakers fear that China’s Communist rulers are reneging on their pledge. Wong urged the U.S. and other Western countries to pay closer attention to “how the China model threatens AsiaPaciﬁc stability.” The China model is a reference to economic development without corresponding democratic reforms, as well as the name of a controversial booklet praising China’s one-party rule that the Hong Kong government planned to distribute in 2012 to schools as part of “moral and national education.” Wong helped lead protests that forced the government to shelve those plans. Wong was given bail last week, two months into a six-month prison sentence. He and a fellow activist, Nathan Law, were both sent to prison after the justice secretary won a legal challenge overturning Virtual Costume Contest more lenient sentences. The move sparked fears Hong Kong’s independent judiciary is under threat. They are due in court Nov. 7 to appeal the sentences. Wong, who is also awaiting sentencing in another case, is prepared to go back to jail. He turned 21 while behind bars and said it “might not be the last time I will celebrate my birthday inside prison.” Though he has become synonymous with Hong Kong’s democracy movement, Wong said it was important not to forget others who are also paying a price but haven’t attracted the same international spotlight. About two dozen other young activists are serving prison sentences longer than his, “just because they were asking for democracy, freedom and human rights by nonviolent civil disobedience,” he said. During his time behind bars, Wong did compulsory marching exercises 30 minutes a day and ate with a spoon because forks, knives and chopsticks are banned. Asked if the prison guards singled him out for harsher treatment, he said, “They treated me fairly with swear words and foul language.” Not allowed a phone, he couldn’t update his popular social media accounts but said being unplugged allowed him the opportunity for “spiritual reﬂection.” It’s easy to enter.

The House and Senate should consider ASAP as the process of ﬁnal approval moves along. Push Biggest Tax Cuts EVER.” The idea of repealing the individual mandate has been pushed by Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, but was dismissed by key GOP leaders since it would add political complications to sure in the House by Thanksgiving. Associated Press “Failure is not an option,” said Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y. WASHINGTON — The emerging plan House Republicans on Wednesday scrambled to would retain the income ﬁnalize the ﬁrst major tax tax rate for the wealthiest overhaul in three decades earners. But for that highest bracket, the tax writamid opposition from ers were considering raisGOP lawmakers fearful about constituents losing ing the minimum level of a cherished deduction for income to $1 million from the current $470,000 — a state and local taxes.

Tax rates for individuals would be The ambitious timetable calls for passing the mea- trimmed as well. A key reason was continuing opposition from GOP lawmakers from New York and New Jersey, many of whom are opposed to repealing a lucrative deduction for state and local taxes that beneﬁts their states more than other. “I view the elimination of the deduction as a geographic redistribution of wealth picking winners and losers,” said Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., who represents eastern Long Island. “I don’t want my home state to be a loser, and that really shouldn’t come as any surprise.” The lawmakers were haggling over a possible an already difﬁcult task of crafting a tax bill that can pass the House and Senate. “I think tax reform is complicated enough without adding another layer of complexity,” said No. 2 Senate Republican John Cornyn of Texas. Tax writers decided to maintain the highest personal income tax rate at its current 39.6 percent and to slash the top tax rate for corporations to 20 percent from 35 percent. They strained to complete other lastminute changes, but failed to ﬁnalize details to meet their Wednesday deadline. cap to the deduction for local property taxes. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, had offered as a concession keeping the property tax deduction for a homeowner’s federal tax bill, though the amount of the deduction that could be taken may be limited. The ability to deduct state and local income taxes on federal returns, on the other hand, would be ended. The proposed change means there would be three itemized deductions retained: for home mortgage interest, charitable donations and local property taxes. Trump wants tougher immigration law after attack by ‘animal’ and less politically correct.” Earlier Wednesday, Trump called the visa program “a Chuck Schumer beauty” — a reference to the Senate’s Democratic leader.

Trump noted during a Cabinet meeting that the driver in Tuesday’s attack entered the country through the “Diversity Visa Lottery Program” and called on Congress to “immediately” begin working to eliminate the program, which applies to countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S. Trump added, “We have to get much tougher, much smarter, �S ports 6 Thursday, November 2, 2017 Daily Sentinel Lady Knights rally past Nitro Point Pleasant advances, boosts record to 19-3 By Paul Boggs pboggs@aimmediamidwest.com Paul Boggs | OVP Sports Point Pleasant libero Peyton Jordan returns a Nitro serve as teammate Olivia Dotson (10) looks on during Tuesday night’s Class AA sectional tournament volleyball match in Point Pleasant, W.Va. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Early on, it was more tricks than treats for the Point Pleasant High School volleyball team. Soon enough, however, Lanea Cochran and the Lady Knights— on Halloween of all nights — began to put the spook into the Nitro Lady Wildcats. As a result, Point Pleasant pushed forward in its 2017 season for at least one more day, rallying to defeat the visiting Wildcats 23-25, 25-21, 25-19 and 25-15 in a Class AA Region 4 Section 1 tilt on Tuesday night. Truth be told, the second-seeded Lady Knights resembled and had that look of zombies for the opening game-and-a-half, going down one-game-to-none before ﬁnally taking an 18-17 advantage in the second set —their ﬁrst lead of the entire match. But from there, the Lady Knights never trailed again, actually outscoring the Wildcats 61-38 after falling behind 17-14 in the second game. With the win, Point Pleasant pushed its impressive record to 19-3, and more importantly, remained in the winners’ bracket of the Region 4 Section 1 tournament. The Lady Knights needed just one match on Tuesday before moving on to play Winﬁeld, the top-seeded squad in the double-elimination sectional — and whom they faced on Wednesday in the winners’ bracket ﬁnal. The Lady Generals — who are responsible for two of Point See KNIGHTS | 7 Cavs dealing with numerous issues early in season INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James dressed up as Pennywise, the devilishly demented clown from the movie “It” for his annual Halloween party. The makeup made him unrecognizable. He was menacing, frightening. Lately, James and his Cavaliers teammates haven’t scared anyone on the ﬂoor. With four losses in their past ﬁve games, defensive issues, injuries and new players still trying to ﬁgure things out, the Cavs had a lengthy meeting on Tuesday before they practiced. It was a chance to clear the air and perhaps reset a season for a team that hasn’t come close to playing up to its potential. “The slow start that we’ve had prompted us to just all get on the same page and kind of ﬁgure out what we need to do,” center Kevin Love said. “I feel like we can get in better shape, that’s going to help us on the defensive end. Communication, energy and just getting the new guys adjusted. So time will tell how it’s going to play out, but we have a lot of really good positive energy from today, so, it was a great practice.” After a night of connecting in costume, the Cavs, who host Indiana on Wednesday, didn’t hide their problems during their pre-practice discussion that coach Tyronn Lue described as a “long talk.” “Off the court we’ve got great chemistry, great bond,” Lue said. “On the court we just gotta be better. Like, talking, communicating, enjoying the game together. Having fun. Right now guys are not having fun.” There isn’t much to smile about. Following losses to Orlando, Brooklyn, New Orleans and New York in the past 10 days, the Cavs are ranked near the bottom of the NBA in defense and are giving up nearly 14 3-pointers per game. They’re coming off losses by a combined 41 points in their past two games, prompting Lue to say that James, who missed much of the preseason with an ankle injury, and others need to get in better shape. Cleveland’s transition defense has been brutal, and Lue said some of that may be due to conditioning. He pushed the Cavs hard at both ends during Tuesday’s workout and noticed a change. “Watching us today, damn,” Lue said. “It’s a big difference. I’m screaming play with pace, and move the ball, move bodies, we got to get in better See CAVS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Nov. 2 Rio Grande Athletics Volleyball at Salem International, 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 3 Football Cameron at Hannan, 7:30 Wahama at Buffalo, 7:30 College Football Marshall at Florida Atlantic, 6 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Men’s Basketball at Indiana Wesleyan, 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 4 OHSAA Cross Country Division III girls at Hebron, 11 a.m. College Football Iowa State at West Virginia, 3:30 Ohio State at Iowa, 3:30 Rio Grande Athletics CC at RSC Championships, 10 a.m. Women’s Soccer in RSC Tourney, TBA Women’s Basketball vs UNWO, 1:30 Men’s Basketball vs Goshen at Indiana Wesleyan, 3 p.m. Photos by Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Ohio sophomore Nathan Rourke breaks away from a pair of RedHawks, in front of OU senior Troy Mangen (82), during a first half touchdown run on Tuesday in Athens, Ohio.

While Nitro fell to 21-16 with the loss to the Lady Knights, third-year PPHS coach Marla Cottrill knew what her club was in for. The Lady Knights needed the full ﬁve games to top the Wildcats on Sept. 19, and by defeating Sissonville in four games on Tuesday before facing Point Pleasant, thirdseeded Nitro was already at it — and caught the Lady Knights stuck in the starting blocks. Nitro never trailed in the opening set, leading by ﬁve three times at 6-1, 9-4 and 17-12. While Point Pleasant — plagued by all sorts of errors early on — rallied for ties of 17-17, 19-19, 20-20 and 21-21, the Lady Wildcats won the opening set 25-23. In the second game, the Lady Knights notched a 2-2 tie, but soon fell behind by counts of 8-3 and 12-8. But that’s when the standout middle hitter Cochran caught ﬁre, and began a kill spree to turn the tide the Lady Knights’ way. “Nitro had just played four sets, so they were already warmed up and ready to go. We were coming out of the lockerroom cold, and Nitro took us to ﬁve sets when we played them in the regular season. So we knew they were a good team. But we had looked at ﬁlm, we told the girls to hit where the holes were at and fortunately they started to do that. And with the way Lanea (C0chran) was hitting… when she is on, Lanea is on,” said Cottrill. That she was, amassing a match-high 12 kills, as she also amounted four solo blocks with two assisted. Olivia Dotson’s eight kills and four aces added suit, as did Brenna Dotson’s nine kills and two blocks. Brenna Dotson, Gracie Cottrill and libero Peyton Jordan each served up a pair of aces. Cottrill and Olivia Dotson set for 18 and 11 assists respectively, as Jordan led in digs with 19 while Dotson dug up 16 balls. It was actually Cochran’s ﬁfth kill of the second game that earned the Lady Knights a sideout down 17-15, as four straight service points by Jordan — on three Nitro errors and a Brenna Dotson kill —pushed Point into the lead at 19-17. A Sydney Murray kill and an Anna Welch ace tied the set two points later, but the Wildcats would not tie nor even come closer the rest of the way. A service error set up the second game point, which Cochran claimed for her sixth and ﬁnal kill of the set. In the third game, Cochran captured kills on two of the ﬁrst three points, then collected kill-blocks for three consecutive points to make it 15-6 after a Nitro attack error. “We’ve worked on making every swing and our blocking. Our girls will go up and hit, but if it’s not the perfect set, they will dink it or something like that. We’re really pushing to hit everything. That’s what we started doing in the second set,” said Coach Cottrill. “And when we get our blocks and you get momentum…” Did Point Pleasant ever. The Wildcats won four straight points to make it 15-10, but the Lady Knights scored six of the next seven for their largest advantage at 21-11, en route to the 25-19 triumph. The Lady Knights also scored the initial three points of game four, then opened up a 9-3 cushion with ﬁve straight after a lift got the Wildcats to within 4-3. They would get no closer, though, as although Nitro did trim the deﬁcit to 10-8 and 11-9, the Lady Knights netted four straight points — part of 12 of the next 16 for their largest lead at 23-13. Olivia Dotson’s ﬁfth kill of the set, followed by a Jordan ace, ended the match. Coach Cottrill quickly turned her attention to Winﬁeld, which was —as of Wednesday —the Lady Knights’ highest mountain in the Mountain State all season. “With Winﬁeld, as long as we play our game and don’t get down, we’ll be okay. We keep saying Winﬁeld is our Mount Muhammad. That’s the one we want to beat, and hopefully we will this time,” she said. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106. Thursday, November 2, 2017 7 CLEVELAND (AP) — Clock management hurt the Browns again. And this time, it cost them a quarterback. Failing to get the necessary paperwork to the NFL ofﬁces by Wednesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline, Cleveland’s proposed deal to get Cincinnati quarterback AJ McCarron fell apart in the ﬁnal minutes, the latest misstep for a team unable to solve its quarterback riddle. The teams had an agreement in place, sending McCarron to Cleveland for draft picks, but the required documentation — paperwork signed by both clubs — arrived in New York too late, said league spokesman Brian McCarthy. He did not provide any further detail about why the transaction wasn’t ﬁnalized. The Browns have Browns, who have three second-round picks in next year’s draft, had previous discussions about Garoppolo but were unable to strike a deal.

With his quartet of solo tackles, Poling moved into the top-spot in the programs’ record book with 207 career solo tackles. “He has the whole makeup that you look for,” Solich said of Poling. “He is an athletic guy, he can run, cut and be used as a tailback in an offense if we wanted him too.

Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame and Clemson were the top four teams in the selection committee’s initial top 25 released Tuesday night. Oklahoma, Ohio State and Penn State were next as the committee members let head-to-head results and strength of schedule be their guide. The ﬁnal rankings that will determine the participants in the College Football Playoff semiﬁnals come out Dec. 3. Georgia and Alabama, Southeastern Conference rivals, are both 8-0 and have been dominating their competition. The Bulldogs’ one close game was at Notre Dame in September, a 20-19 victory. Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt, the athletic director for Texas Tech, said the Bulldogs had a slight edge over the Crimson Tide because of its victory against the Irish on Sept. 9. The Fighting Irish (7-1) have not lost since, including blowouts of Michigan State (24th), Southern California (17th) and North Carolina State (20th). Hocutt noted those three victories against teams in the committee’s top 25, along with the close lose to Georgia as the reason for the Irish being the highest ranked in a group of one-loss teams from three to seven. “The teams ranked three through seven are very evenly matched,” Hocutt said. On the same night Georgia beat Notre Dame, Oklahoma went to Columbus, Ohio, and beat the Buckeyes 31-16. “For the teams ﬁve through seven, their head-to-head results were very important to the committee,” Hocutt said. Ohio State (7-1) rallied to beat Penn State (7-1) last Saturday, 39-38. In the AP Top 25, Ohio State was No. 3, Penn State No. 7 and Oklahoma was No. 8. Those rankings had some Sooners wondering if the committee would do something similar. They were happy to ﬁnd out that was not the case. “We all just watched it as a team just now,” Oklahoma linebacker Ogbonnia Okoronkwo said. “We were all just jumping around yelling. Everybody’s hungry. We feel like our foot’s in the door, so we want to go ahead and make it happen.” Clemson (7-1), the defending national champion, and Alabama have been ranked in the initial top four of the by the selection committee each of the last three seasons. The Tigers and Tide played for the last two national titles, with each winning one. Over the ﬁrst three seasons of the playoff, a total of ﬁve teams have been ranked in the top four of the initial ranking and gone on to reach the semiﬁnals: Florida State (which was second) in 2014; Clemson (ﬁrst) and Alabama (fourth) in 2015; and Alabama (ﬁrst) and Clemson (second) in 2016.

Wahama volleyball season ends By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — It’s hard to be at your best with bullet holes in your shoes. The Wahama volleyball team shot itself in the foot on more than one occasion Tuesday night, which ultimately allowed Calhoun County to claim a 25-13, 25-21, 25-22 victory in the loser’s bracket of the Class A Region IV, Section 1 tournament held at Parkersburg Catholic High School in Wood County. The Lady Falcons (5-22) battled through 12 ties and 10 lead changes throughout the course of the match, but fundamental breakdowns continually popped up in each set — which opened the door for the Lady Red Devils (1715-1) to sneak away with a straight-game decision. Wahama led 1-0 in all three games, but the Red and White mustered only one lead larger than two points over the course of the night. CCHS, conversely, led the ﬁrst and ﬁnal games by double digits and also rallied back from a six-point deﬁcit in Game 2. The Lady Falcons battled through four ties and four lead changes in the opening bout, but Calhoun County broke away from a 7-all tie by scoring 11 of the next 13 points en route to an 18-9 advantage — with a handful of those points coming from either defensive lapses or spike attempts in the net on behalf of WHS. Wahama was never closer than eight points the rest of Game 1, which the Lady Red Devils claimed by a 12-point margin — their largest lead of the match. There were six ties and four lead changes in Wahama freshman Emma Gibbs blocks a dink attempt during Game 1 of Tuesday night’s Class A Region IV, Section 1 volleyball match against Calhoun County at Parkersburg Catholic High School. Game 2, with the Lady Falcons establishing their largest lead of the night at 13-7 midway in. Mistakes again popped up, and CCHS made a 15-4 run that turned Wahama’s six-point lead into a 22-17 deﬁcit. WHS closed the middle game with a small 4-3 run, but was never closer than three points as Calhoun County claimed a four-point win for a 2-0 match advantage. Wahama’s only leads in Game 3 came at 1-0 and 2-1, then CCHS made a 10-3 charge to establish an 11-5 cushion. The lead grew to as much as 22-12 before the Lady Falcons made one last push to force a Game 4. WHS whittled the lead down to 22-16 and was as close as 24-22 before the Lady Red Devils secured the ﬁnal point to complete the straight-game triumph. Following the match, WHS coach Matt VanMeter couldn’t help but wonder how things could have turned out with a more-fundamental effort from his troops. Then again, it is the postseason … and this is a collectively young unit. “We had some mistakes cost us some points tonight. We were right there with Calhoun in every set, but our mistakes came back to bite us. Take away some of those mistakes and we might be sitting in a different position,” VanMeter said. “We are a younger team, so hopefully we can learn from these mistakes and build on this experience headed into next season. Hopefully we’ll come back next year even stronger.” Wahama more than doubled its win total from a year ago and earned a pair of season sweeps over Hannan and Belpre. The Lady Falcons also posted three victories in TVC Hocking play this fall, more than the previous two seasons combined. As WHS completes its eighth season with volleyball as a varsity sport, VanMeter feels that his three seniors — Madison VanMeter, Elizabeth Mullins and Destiny Sayre — should take a real pride in what they’ve accomplished over their careers. “We’re losing two starters and three quality kids from our senior class,” VanMeter said. “They’ve been part of building up this program and they’ve passed a ton of knowledge on to the underclassmen this season. Our future looks brighter now than it did four years ago, and these seniors have a lot do with that. They should take a pride in what they’ve contributed as we continue to move forward.” Harley Roush led the WHS service attack with nine points, followed by Hannah Billups with eight points and Gracie VanMeter with ﬁve points. Madison VanMeter and Makinley Bumgarner were next with two points apiece, while Mullins rounded out the scoring with one point. Madison VanMeter led the Lady Falcons with six kills, followed by Emma Gibbs with three kills and Billups with two kills. Roush and Mullins also had a kill apiece. Mullins and Gibbs each posted eight blocks in the setback. The Lady Falcons ﬁnished eighth in TVC Hocking play with a 3-13 league mark. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

(AP) — The idea for one of the most clever touchdown celebrations of the season was hatched in Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph’s mind right before the pass play was called that night. “‘If we score here,’” he told his teammates in the huddle, “‘whoever scores, you get to be the ducker, and everybody else sit.’” Fittingly enough, Rudolph found himself open seconds later for a 13-yard touchdown . Then a wave of purple rushed toward him in the end zone. Like grade-schoolers on the playgrounds where they ﬁrst learned the game, the Vikings dutifully plopped down cross-legged in the grass. Rudolph patted them on the helmet as he jogged around the circle for a nationally televised rendition of Duck, Duck, Goose. Rookie center Pat Elﬂein was picked as the goose, or gray duck as Minnesotans peculiarly prefer . “Getting the linemen involved in the celebration was something I thought would be cool,” Rudolph explained later. “Those guys don’t really get to celebrate a whole lot. They’re always kind of left out. They don’t like to dance, so a group dance wouldn’t have been as good.” The most important source of such silliness after the score was actually the NFL itself. After years of policing post-touchdown expressions, spawning the it’s fun to try to come up with the next cool act. The same day the Eagles took themselves out to the ballgame, Green Bay Packers wide receivers celebrated the go-ahead touchdown catch by Davante Adams with a bobsled team routine. Two weeks later, Bell played Hide and Seek with wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster to tout a Steelers score. Bell ﬂoated the idea to Smith-Schuster about 10 minutes before kickoff. “We didn’t even practice it or anything. It kind of just happened,” Bell said. “That was us just being dramatic, creative, on what we were going to do. I know JuJu, and he loves doing celebrations.
