Kim will be performing on a 1757 J. B. Guadagnini violin almost 100 years older than the historic Ariel theatre. According to Lora Snow, executive director of the Ariel-Ann Carson Dater Performing Arts Centre, the concert pairs up two titans of composition, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff with Kim, concert master of one of the world’s greatest orchestras. Snow notes that Rachmaninoff had close ties with the Philadelphia Orchestra, even taking the baton to lead the group in a 1929 recording. In his later years, he said he composed with the sound of the Philadelphia Orchestra in his head and he dedicated his final composition to the group. Written in 1878 in just one month’s time, the Violin Concerto was inspired by a violinist friend of Tchaikovsky. Russian folk songs contributed to the Slavic thematic content which was panned by critics at it’s premiere and declared to be “unplayable” by its first dedicatee. Fortunately for OVS audiences, Snow said, Kim will “prove them all wrong with stunning musicianship and dazzling virtuosity.” Returning for his second collaboration with the Ohio Valley Symphony, Kim brings his music to the Ariel stage as he has the world over. Kim performs at international festivals such as Brevard, MasterWorks (USA) and Pacific (Japan). Besides leading the Philadelphia Orchestra from his concertmaster chair, he has appeared as a solo- Photo courtesy of Ryan Donnell Photography David Kim is the concertmaster and principal violinist for The Philadelphia Orchestra.

He has a number of honorary doctorates from Eastern University, the University of Rhode Island and Dickinson College, among others. Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 is the second half of the program. Premiered in 1908 to great applause and earning him the Glinka Award, the Symphony No. 2 has become a staple of the orchestral repertoire. One romantic melody follows another throughout the piece. There is a clarinet solo that winds its way through the slow movement which was used in the 2015 Best Picture “Birdman.” To get a perspective on making music, the public is welcome to attend OVS rehearsals for free at 7-10 p.m. Friday and 1-4 p.m. Saturday. Open rehearsals are a way for young and old alike to become more familiar with symphonic music, and they offer a behind-thescenes glimpse of what goes into preparing an See KIM | 2 INDEX Obituary: 2 Local: 3 Opinion: 4 Sports: 5 Comics: 8 Comics: 9 Weather: 10 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Michael Johnson | Daily Sentinel The Bridge of Honor, connecting Pomeroy, Ohio, and Mason, W.Va., glows in full illumination Sunday night over the Ohio River. The cobalt blue lights, installed earlier this year by the West Virginia Department of Transportation (which is responsible for maintaining the bridge) after “being dark” since March 2014, had to be repaired instead of replaced because the cobalt blue color that signifies the military Purple Heart is no longer mined and lenses for the lights could not be found. Blenko Glass, in Milton, W.Va., managed to replicate the color and produce a limited number for the bridge. The original lights, according to WVDOT, burst because of the bulb heat, which reaches in excess of 200 degrees. The heat generated by the bulbs could not escape because of the original covers. Warren Skaggs, repair and design engineer with the WVDOT, told Ohio Valley Publishing earlier this year that each heat-tempered bulb was replaced, as well as several ballasts. Skaggs said the bulbs have a four-year life.

URG welcomes new employees Staff Report RIO GRADE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College hosted their annual New Employee Orientation this month to welcome all employees hired after the start of the 2015-2016 school year. This year, Rio hired about 25 new employees to fill both recurring and new positions on campus. Chris Nourse, director of human Rresources and Title IX coordinator, said the event is set up to help new staff and faculty make a smooth transition into the Rio community. “New Eemployee orientation gives us the opportunity to formally welcome our new faculty and staff we hired within the past year,” Nourse said. “We host the event just before the start of the new academic year because this is typically the time we hire the bulk of our new faculty. We want to welcome them and make them feel like part of our Rio family from the very first day.” Rio President Dr. Michelle John- Photo courtesy of URG Scenes from the 2016 University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College picnic. ston said she is excited to bring the new employees on board to continue Rio’s commitment to its students and community. “We have a tremendous group of new faculty and staff members. Every one of them brings talent and energy to our team, and they have a clear commitment to our students’ success,” Johnston said. Nourse said the event also includes introducing the new employees to campus leaders and departments, to make sure they can help students find assistance for computer issues, tutoring, research and several other services Rio provides. “We want to make sure they are able to help students if needed.

The fall equinox on Sept. 22 is just a few days after the Mothman Festival, which lands in downtown Point Pleasant on Sept. 17-18, bringing thousands of people to Mason County. In fact, this year, organizers are expecting a record turnout in terms of the crowd. This could be attributed to the growth of the festival celebrating its 15th year, or the fact this is the 50th anniversary of the Mothman sightings in Mason County, or all of the above. Admission is free to take in the sights and there are paid TNT bus tours, tram rides through downtown Point Pleasant and hayrides through TNT at the West Virginia State Farm Museum, available for purchase. Find the Mothman Festival on the web at www. mothmanfestival.com or on Facebook for more information, or stop by the information tent during the festival located in front of the Mothman statue. Last week, organizers of the festival reported the anticipated crowd had grown from what was reported only a couple of weeks ago. Currently, more than 19,000 are “interested” in going to the festival on its Facebook page and another 4,500 have already confirmed they are attending. Organizers say the attendance numbers have grown by 1,000 every week since February, with people traveling from Alaska, California, Washington state, Florida, New York state, and all along the East Coast. International visitors from Dublin, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway and more, are also expected at the festival. If more interested in creatures that hang out near the water as opposed to near TNT, on Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Dragon Boat Festival, hosted by the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center, returns to Krodel Park. This will be the fourth year for the popular competition in which dragon boats are sponsored by businesses and/or organizations and raced along the lake. Last year saw 11 teams row to the finish line. Call the river museum at 304-6740144 for more information, to sign up to sponsor a boat, or volunteer to be a rower. Admission is free. Christopher E.

The climate is the same year ‘round. I enjoy the crispness in the air when autumn sneaks into the atmosphere and by the time the first snowflake drifts across the lawn, I’ll welcome it just as I do the few leaves tripping across my driveway now. I enjoy the change. It reminds me there’s a cycle to life — that I can’t and shouldn’t hold onto anything too tightly or I will squeeze the life right out of it. If I catch the snowflake, it will melt in my hand just like the injured baby Michele Z. bird died in my hand when I was tiny. Marcum Contributing I felt sad thinking I had contributed to its death, even though it probably columnist would’ve died anyway. Death was such a final thought to me back then. I’d heard about a place called Heaven where good people went, but I wasn’t sure I was good enough and the idea of dying scared me. Sometimes it scared me into being good, or at least, being the ornery angel that I am, better than I would’ve been naturally. In my young mind, death wasn’t just a change of form — it was the guillotine that ended the cycle of life. The idea of change was reserved to the four seasons. The grassy fields died in the winter and I’d witness them grow back, but me … I doubted I would be resurrected so timely, if at all. Now, nature’s rebirthing process inspires me to change, too. When the trees boast hues that Rembrandt himself couldn’t replicate, I want them to stay that way, but I know they can’t. There’s a rhythm in the tree that I can’t see. Scientists say there’s a process called photosynthesis that occurs in the summer which activates chlorophyll and makes the tree green. When it’s cold and there’s a lack of chlorophyll, the leaves lose their green color which signifies life. But, oh, when they lose that green color, they are adorned with even more magnificent colors! The reds and yellows were present all along, but hidden by the prominent green. A scientist I’m not, but I know that without the carbon-dioxide eating and oxygen-producing behavior of leaves, I wouldn’t even be able to finish this paragraph before I would cease to be. In yoga, breath is called prana. Yogis practice pausing between the in-breath and out-breath as this may increase mental clarity and reduce stress. As I hold my breath and consider that moment no new air is filling or emptying my lungs, I know that prana truly is all I have. It’s that moment of no breath that I began this life with, it’s the only “thing” I’m leaving here with. Air is really all I ever owned for even a second and it’s only on loan from the maker of the wheel of change. Like an old game show, Price Is Right, I am simply granted a certain number of spins on that wheel. The concept of change reminds me of a recent best-selling book titled, “When Breath Becomes Air,” because the word “breath” signifies life just as the changing seasons remind me to breath in each moment, not worried about the change that’s coming, just accepting it as part of the spinning planet I’m on. I often wonder if other people think about life and death the way I do and the thought makes me feel like I’m orbiting a different sun than others who are breathing here with me. But, it’s all cool. I’m an Aquarius and enjoy my peculiar peacock self and the characteristics that make me, me. I only hope that when my final season brings forth the ultimate change, that my colors change just like the leaves, my feathers spanning an array of shades. I hope that, in dying, I do shine with the most vibrant display of light. From the place where no air is required to breathe, I imagine a wind of change still blows and shifts reality, churning yet another challenge into gold.

I’ve been burned. But more often I’m honored. I’m your American flag.” That’s the way I introduced myself this summer to readers in 115 newspapers coast to coast — from city papers in Pittsburgh, Miami, Memphis, Charlotte, Jacksonville and Salt Lake City to midsized ones in Altoona, Scranton, Savannah, Tucson, Monterey and on to papers in towns so small you may not have heard of them, such as Leesville, La., Pomeroy, Ohio, and Arkansas City, Kansas.

Major Martin: Truex Jr. wins Southern 500 DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Given a break or two here or there, Martin Truex Jr. believes he’d have a monster season. He is pretty thrilled about the one he’s had so far, anyway. Truex capped a standout summer season with his first Southern 500 victory at Darlington Raceway on Sunday night. He had started things with a dominant, record-setting win at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. “I’m just humbled,” he said. He knows, though, it could’ve been even bigger. Truex was a breath away from taking the Daytona 500 over Denny Hamlin to start the season, and had seven other top 10s this year. “With the team we have and the way we’ve been running, we could honestly be sitting here with seven, eight, nine wins,” Truex said. “With that said, we’ve got two (victories) and I really feel like we’ve got a legitimate shot at this championship.” Truex will certainly be a strong contender when the 10-race Chase for a Championship starts at Chicagoland Speedway in two weeks. He reached the final race in Homestead last year among the last four standing and thinks everyone in the program has worked to improve their chances. “It’s been a good season, but it definitely could be a great season,” he said. It was Truex’s fifth career win and the second time his single-car Furniture Row Racing team has taken the checkered flag at the track “Too Tough To Tame.” Crew chief Cole Pearn guided Regan Smith to victory lane here in 2011. Then, the team was a novelty, a fun, fish-out-of-water tale of the little team that won a big race. Now, tiny Furniture Row is poised for a significant run as NASCAR’s best. “To win two crown jewel races like this in one season is something you’ll never forget for sure,” Pearn said. “You’ve got to take the highs when they’re here and then get back to work. Things learned from the Southern 500. CHASE CHATTER: With one race left before NASCAR’s playoffs, Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray remain the final three winless drivers who would qualify for the 16-team field. Ryan Newman is the first driver out, seven points behind McMurray heading to Richmond next Saturday night. SMOKE WILL BE MISSED: Tony Stewart will leave Sprint Cup without a victory at Darlington after finished 35th on Sunday night when his engine overheated and he went behind the wall. He was asked to the NASCAR hauler after spinning Brian Scott earlier in the race and when asked what happened, said simply, “He wrecked.” A TASTE OF SUCCESS: Kyle Larson nearly made it two straight wins before finishing third Sunday. The young driver, who earned his first Sprint Cup win last week at Michigan, led 45 laps and was out front with 38 laps to go. “All in all, it was good to be a contender two weeks in a row,” he said. THROWBACK CITY: The Southern 500’s second straight throwbackthemed weekend again looked like a success. The nostalgic paint schemes like the Matt Kenseth’s Tide Ride or Kevin Harvick’s Busch Beer car thrilled fans and competitors both. Plus, drivers and teams took things deeper this year with vintage crew uniforms and crazy costumes. “This is such a fun weekend with the throwback stuff,” Larson said. �SPORTS 6 Tuesday, September 6, 2016 Daily Sentinel Wolfe wins Scenic Hills CC race bwalters@civitasmedia.com VINCENT, Ohio — Southern junior Conner Wolfe came away with top individual honors Saturday during the 2016 Scenic Hills Lions Cross Country Invitational held at Warren High School in Washington County.

River Valley returns to action on Tuesday at Vinton County, but will likely be without Horner, who suffered an injury in the third game of Saturday’s match. “As far as Rachel being out, the injury did look pretty severe, so this week she’ll probably be out,” said Elliott. “We should be gaining Jessica Steele back soon, and I brought a couple players up from jay-vee that I feel can step up if they need to. I’m pretty confident that — even though we will miss Rachel, because she’s a great player — we’ll be able to compensate for it and still do okay.” GAHS will also be back in action on Tuesday, when Coal Grove visits Centenary. The Blue Angels will try to move to 4-0 within the Ohio Valley Conference by doing more of what they have been doing. “Our serves were off tonight, but our hits actually started coming on,” Rosier said. “We had a sophomore come in and fill in for an injured player, and she did a great job. We always say that we’re 11 strong and they did a great job. We have two big games next week in Coal Grove and Portsmouth. Both are OVC games and big matches for us.” Alex Hawley can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2100.

Holgorsen said Howard is sore but no ribs were broken. “He knew we needed him,” Holgorsen said. “The kid is a competitor and is going to do anything … to help the team win.” Howard didn’t attempt a carry the rest of the game. He finished 23 of 35 for 235 yards with no touchdowns and an interception. In the brief time Howard sat out, backup quarterback William Crest lost a fumble and Chris Chugunov threw an interception. “When guys go down, (other) guys need to go in and play at a high level,” Holgorsen said. “Some did. Some didn’t.” Crawford did. The junior college transfer got most of the carries after Shell walked off the field gingerly early in the third quarter and didn’t return. Holgorsen said Shell had leg cramps and “he’s fine.” Crawford had a 1-yard scoring run in the third quarter. “From a teammate perspective, it’s good to know when you come off the field they’re putting someone in that is just as good as you,” Shell said. Shell finished with 90 yards, including a 23-yard TD in the first quarter. He said he didn’t want to return to the game after leaving and “mess up the flow and the tempo” of the offense. Missouri struggled most of the game under sophomore quarterback Drew Lock, who threw an 8-yard scoring pass to Chris Black with under two minutes left. Overcoming Your Credit Card Crisis The battle with credit card debt can be a constant struggle against high interest rates and monthly payments that never seem to make a dent in what you owe. How is it possible to make monthly credit card payments and never get anywhere? This problem is caused by high interest rates that eats up most of your payments. Even though you make your minimum payment, you don’t make much headway eliminating the debt. Luckily, there’s a way to find debt relief without incurring more debts. Using certified credit counseling like Consolidated Credit, you can get professional advice to identify the right solution for your needs. A certified credit counselor can review your options to see which solution is best for you. You can qualify for lower interest rates or even eliminate them, while consolidating your credit card debt into one easy payment to get you out of debt faster. Every financial institution differs, but most people see a reduction of total payments by up to 30-50% as they pay off debt faster. Freedom from debt can become a reality!
