ROCKSPRINGS — Meigs High School Class of 2002 graduate Evan Shaw kicked off the Meigs Alumni Speaker Series on Wednesday morning, speaking to a gymnasium of MHS students. Shaw is a documentary producer, editor and videographer at WOUB, as well as a freelance cinematographer for NFL Films. While Shaw has won nine Emmy awards for his work as a producer, director and other categories, he told the students that it is the Meigs Local Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Award that is his most proud achievement. Shaw lived in Burlingham, played football and was a thrower on the track team while at Meigs and earned the title of having the most school spirit as a senior. Like many of those in the gym on Wednesday morning, Shaw was not sure what he wanted to do after high school — that was until he took a video production class his junior year what was taught by Suzanne Bentz. After that, Shaw decided that was something he wanted to do. As a video production student at Ohio University, Shaw spent the first two years not doing much with his major and considered changing it. That changed at the start of his junior year of college when his roommate suggested the Gridiron Glory program at WOUB. It was after shooting the first game and seeing his footage on television that he was hooked. “There is nothing cooler than seeing something you do on TV,” Shaw said. See SERIES | 5 Sentinel office moving to new home Oct. 1 Staff Report POMEROY — For the next few days, visitors to The Daily Sentinel office may notice boxes being packed and items being removed. No need to worry, though, as we are simply moving around the corner and down the street to better serve our readers and the community. On Saturday, Oct. 1, The Daily Sentinel will be moving from its home for the past several decades at 111 Court St. By the time the office reopens on Tuesday, Oct. 4, we will be in our new location at 109 W. Second St., Pomeroy, a building which we will share with Grueser and Associates Accounting. “We are excited to be moving into newer, updated space more suitable to our needs. We are also glad to be staying in the downtown area,” said Publisher Bud Hunt of the move to the new location. The Sentinel’s downtown location will allow for it to remain near the center of Meigs County government and several events which take place throughout the year. “We’re excited to be moving to a new building that better meets our needs, but most importantly, we will continue to be in the downtown area, just a short walk from our current location. I think folks will like the new location. I know I do,” said Ohio Valley Publishing Editor Michael Johnson. “This is a busy and exciting time at the Sentinel. Coming back on board earlier this month, I knew the move would be happening soon after,” said Sentinel Managing Editor Sarah Hawley. “I am looking forward to working in the new office, which will allow for me to have a comfortable space to meet with customers and readers who stop in to share their ideas and events.” Moving is no easy task, and we have enlisted some help of those much stronger than those of us at the Sentinel to assist on moving day. “We also want to thank coach Mike Bartrum and his Meigs High School football players and See OFFICE | 5 INDEX Obituary: 2 Business: 3 Editorial: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Photo courtesy of Richard Harrison Former K-9 deputy Jeck is shown sitting in front of a Gallia County Sheriff’s Office cruiser. Retired K-9 deputy Jeck passes away By Michael Johnson michaeljohnson@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS — The law enforcement community in southeastern Ohio is giving a final salute to retired Gallia County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Deputy Jeck. Jeck, a German shepherd, died Tuesday of old age, according to his handler, Officer Richard Harrison, the Village of Rio Grande Police Department’s K-9 handler. Harrison said he worked with Jeck, a former show dog, since 2007 when he was employed with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office. Harrison said he couldn’t have asked for a better dog and partner. “Jeck was a goodnatured dog. When it came to other animals, kids and people in general … he liked people,” he said. “When it was time to go to work, it was all about business. He loved to go to work. If he worked a 16-hour day, he ‘d want to work some more.” Harrison said he buried Jeck at his home Tuesday, adding that there are no current plans to conduct a memorial in honor. He “Jeck was a beast. He was one of a kind. He was hard core. He was all about work and family.” — Officer Richard Harrison, K-9 handler, Village of Rio Grande Police Department said he plans to purchase a headstone for Jeck. “Gallia County lost an important member of our law enforcement team,” a post states on the Facebook page of Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins. “Jeck served Gallia County so well over the years, serving alongside Richard Harrison. Countless prosecutions were made possible by the great work of Jeck and his handler. You will be missed. E.O.W. 9-202016.” Jeck (pronounced “Jack”) served GCSO for six years and retired in 2013. He is best remembered in the Ohio Valley for an incident in 2011 in which he was stabbed twice in the neck during a suspect apprehension.

Member SIPC. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A national sportsmen’s advocacy group is trying to convince West Virginia lawmakers to join the ranks of 39 other states that have no restrictions against Sunday hunting by touting the potential economic benefits of such a move. Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation Coordinator John Culclasure appeared Tuesday before the Joint Commission on Economic Development to urge lawmakers to pass a law next year legalizing Sunday hunting statewide, news outlets reported. Making Sunday hunting legal statewide could create about 2,600 jobs and spur up to $155 million in additional economic activity each year, Culclasure said. Twenty-two of the state’s 55 counties currently allow hunting on Sunday on private land. Numerous West Virginia residents travel on the weekends to states such as Ohio and Kentucky where there are no Sunday hunting MEIGS COUNTY CALENDAR OF EVENTS mission will meet at 9 a.m. in the third floor conference room of the Department of Job and Family Services, 175 Race St., Middleport.

Allowing Sunday hunting would encourage residents to stay in the state and prompt out-of-state hunters to explore West Virginia, he argued. “West Virginia is not a destination hunting state, but it very well could be with fewer confusing laws for nonresidents,” he said. “Confusing county-by-county Sunday hunting rules discourage hunters from hunting in West Virginia. In one county it’s legal, in the next, it’s not.” MIDDLEPORT — Applications for Art in the Village can be picked up at Farmers Bank in Pomeroy and libraries in Pomeroy, Middleport and Racine.

The scramble helped raise $5,453 for flood relief in West Virginia. According to organizers, “There were many blessings given on that Thursday.” The holes were sponsored by: Asbury UMC, Vernon UMC, Fairview Bible Church, West Columbia/ Clifton UMC’s, Oak Grove UMC, Mason UMC, Union UMC, Hartford UMC, New Haven UMC, Marilyn Weaver (in memory of Gene Weaver), Bob’s Market and Greenhouses, Dairy Queen of Middleport, Ed Midkiff-Surveyor, Foglesong Funeral Home, Ralph/Sally Ross (in memory of Charles Yeager, Marathon of New Haven, Ohio-Kanawha Officials Board (in memory of Gary Clark), State Farm Insurance -Ty Somerville, Big River Massage Therapy of Racine, Health Aid Pharmacy, Ripley Auto Glass of Hartford, M & G Polymers, Walmart, Handley Law Offices, Farmer’s Bank, Carolyn MacEwan (in memory of Lou MacEwan), City Ice and Fuel, Kevin and Jeanne Sargent, Sheriff Greg Powers, Norris Greenhouses, Pleasant Valley Hospital, Ohio Valley Bank, and Mason Furniture. We also had many businesses that supported the cause by giving either gift cards or gift certificates: McDonald’s of Point Pleasant, Tudor’s Biscuit World of Mason, Bob Evans of Mason, Big River Massage Therapy, owner George Zuspan of Racine, and Walmart. Many volunteers were needed to make this a successful outing and included: Lou and Vickie Nazarewycz, Sally Ross, Marilyn Weaver and her daughter Pam, Claudia Thomas, Annette Carper, and John Bumgarner, the Upper Mason Cooperative Parish and the Upper Mason Food Pantry. We would like to thank Bobby Green at Riverside Golf Course for all of his help. And then, there were the 44 golfers who came out to support this worthy cause with the longest traveling competitors coming from Beverly Hills UMC in Huntington. According to organizers, many golfers in the Tuesday Senior League at Riverside could not play in the scramble, but they gave to the cause with their personal donations. Results were as follows: Third Place winners were at Eleven under par: Jim Wilson, Greg Hartley, Keith Pridemore, and Kenny Pridemore. Second Place winners were at Thirteen under par: Roger Putney, Curtis Roush, Steve Safford and Kenny Green.

Everyone participated in some way — by hosting bake sales, donating funds, organizing competitions and silent auctions, and talking to our customers and vendors about the importance of local food banks,” Sulerzyski said. “Without the collective support of everyone working together, this couldn’t have happened. We are overwhelmed by everyone’s passion and commitment to this cause.” The USDA completes an annual study on food insecurity, which is the number of individuals who do not always have enough food — especially nutritionally adequate food — for an active, healthy life for all household members. Sulerzyski indicated the USDA’s 2014 study found that more than 17 percent of U.S. households were food insecure and 3.7 million households with children were unable at times during the year to provide adequate nutritious food for their children. “Hunger among children has a major impact not only on health care costs later in life, but also educational achievement, worker productivity and eventually the ability of the region and nation to compete in a global economy,” Sulerzyski said.

Ohio’s charter school system has become a disgrace on our state that is denying too many students a quality education, and defrauding taxpayers. Ohio has been called the “wild west” of charter schools. While plenty of these schools, like Breakthrough in Cleveland and KIPP in Columbus, are thriving and offer their students a quality education, it’s clear that too many — particularly online charter schools and those operated by for-profit management companies — are not meeting the needs of our students. Since 2001, state auditors have uncovered more than $27 million in improperly spent funds at charter schools in Ohio. These schools misspend public money at almost four times the rate of other types of public sector agencies. It’s our children who pay the price for this mismanagement. According Sherrod to a report from Stanford UniverBrown sity’s Center for Research on EducaContributing tion Outcomes, students at Ohio’s columnist charter schools lose 43 days of math instruction and 14 days of reading instruction, compared with traditional public schools in the state. Despite this unimpressive record and history of mismanagement, last October the Department of Education awarded the state of Ohio a $71 million grant to expand largely failing charter schools. That’s why the oversight measures I’ve called for and that the Department of Education is now putting in place are critical. The department will increase oversight by appointing an independent monitor, and creating a database to better track these schools’ performance. Charters will also have to submit budgets for review and approval, and post financial reports publically to ensure Ohioans know that their tax dollars are, in fact, being spent on educating students. And it will create a new advisory committee of parents, teachers and community members so that communities can hold these schools accountable and make sure this grant is put to good use. These are the toughest accountability measures the Department of Education has ever placed on such a grant. This increased oversight will ensure that no federal taxpayer dollars go to schools who are focused on turning a profit instead of educating our kids. And it will make sure there is accountability for third-party management companies that are all too often used to pad the pockets of charter school operators at the expense of students. This is not meant to punish charter schools or the many dedicated Ohioans who work there. Most of these educators are working hard to meet the needs of students, but the absence of meaningful oversight has allowed waste, fraud and abuse to fester — particularly in for-profit and online schools. This month we’ve already seen the news that the for-profit college ITT will close its doors after a long history of abusing and misleading students. Why would we want to inject that same model into public K-12 education, when we have seen the havoc it’s wreaked on so many students and their families? We need to make sure that our tax dollars are funding our children’s education, not fraud and abuse. U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown is a Democrat who represents Ohio in the U.S. Senate in Washington, D.C.

THEIR VIEW After the blast: Fear versus resolve In the wake of the terrorist blast that rocked a Manhattan neighborhood this week, the talking heads and political pundits went immediately berserk. Most of them were reacting, not to the fallout from the bombing, but instead to the response from the presidential campaign trail. Republican candidate Donald Trump was quick to fire up fear and controversy. His opponent, Hillary Clinton, held a more measured tone as she was interviewed, encouraging people to wait for the investigation to reveal some facts before making statements. Whichever side you’re on in this election cycle, it’s easy to see that there is a major difference between the ways in which these two candidates deal with such an event. More important is how the tone and manner of each resonates and is reflected by respective followers. As an observation, Trump supporters tend to respond to elevations of fear. The more frightened they get, the more Trump likes it. Instead of taking the lead in a calm, composed, thoughtful manner, he turns up the heat and a more bigoted- sounding rhetoric. of the public?

A president is more than a politician. He or she must act in the best interest of the country, with a measured resolve to maintain peace without unwarranted escalation of violence whenever possible. As the investigation continues into these latest terror attacks, we are reminded of how volatile the world is today and how much we need leaders who can react with reason and forethought. No longer is our country insulated from terrorism nor will it ever be again. Domestic bombings will no longer be merely a story on the evening news. It could be something that happens in your town, on your street, in your neighborhood. It’s tragic and scary. But as citizens, we must be vigilant, resourceful and act with reason and calm. If we can’t depend on our leaders to set that example for us, then we must do it ourselves. Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer.

While Shaw may his boss who was “less not have come from the than pleased.” But, Shaw background of the others, said he was given a second he came with a work ethic chance, something that is uncommon — and this he had learned at Meigs time it was successful. While he was never told why he was given a second chance and has never questioned it, Shaw said he likes to think that it was his work ethic as an intern which earned him the second chance. In his 11 years with NFL Films, Shaw has filmed every team, been to all but four stadiums and filmed two Super Bowls. He has also been seen in the background multiple times on television, and is in the background of Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman’s Twitter profile photo. Shaw told the students that there are many famous and important people to come from Meigs County, including William Outerbridge, who is credited with firing the first American shot of World War II, and Nelson Story, who built the first skyscrapper in Los Angeles. “You come from a good stock of people,” Shaw told the students. He explained that there is nothing that bothers him more than people talking negatively about his family or where he comes from. Shaw encouraged the students to have pride in where they come from, and while the area may have its problems, there are many positives. He went on to explain to the students that the positives can come from working together and, although they are still in high school, they can be involved and make a difference. “Get involved and stay involved,” Shaw said. He told the students that after they graduate and go on with their lives beyond Meigs High School, they should always remember where they came from and to return and contribute. Shaw told the Sentinel that the opportunity to come back and speak to the students is something important as the kids are often bombarded with negative things and do not need to hear about the problems. It is a good place to be from, Shaw said of Meigs County. While he says he does have a cool career, he is not special and had the same opportunities as others from the area and took advantage of those opportunities. Meigs High School Principal Travis Abbott told students that speakers who are returning to the school where they received their diplomas can show students that their Meigs High School diplomas can be their ticket to anywhere the choose to go. “They are just like you, come from where you come from and are truly Meigs Marauders, just like you,” Abbott told the students of Shaw and future speakers. Senior class president Gracie Hoffman, who introduced Shaw, said it was nice to see alumni return to speak and show that “even though you are from here, you can do things.” Hoffman said it was inspir- ing. Abbott said he hopes to bring in a speaker twice a year to talk to the students. When the idea was being discussed a few weeks ago, Abbott thought it would likely be spring before the first speaker could be brought to the school. Guidance counselor Abby Harris posted on the alumni page with the idea of the speaker and almost immediately Shaw responded that he would be interested. Within 24 hours, a plan was in place to have Shaw speak during the week leading up to homecoming. “I’m very proud of where I’m from,” said Abbott, who added that the success of alumni is evidence of the amazing things the staff and teachers in the district are doing. Both Shaw and Abbott said kids and adults alike need to see more positive things in the area and realize the good that is in the area.

Emergency veterinarian Dr. Michelle Goodnight, of the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine, said at the time, “This is an injury that could have been fatal. Everyone did the right thing to save his life.” During Krebs’ trial, Jeck took the stand and presented “testimony” by showing his neck wounds, which were still wrapped in bandages at the time. Krebs was sentenced by a Meigs County judge to 15 years in prison on multiple charges, including felony assault on a police dog. Assault on a law enforcement dog is a felony of the fourth-degree under Ohio Revised Code 2921.321. Within two weeks, Jeck was back in service working narcotics. Within three months, he was back into full service performing apprehensions and suspect take-downs. Harrison said during his two-week stint on light duty, Jeck “engaged and apprehended” a burglary suspect. “He held one (suspect) while I was wrestling with the other (suspect),” he said. “Jeck was a beast. He was one of a kind. He was hard core. He was all about work and family.” Harrison said Jeck was the first “successful” K-9 officer to work with the sheriff’s office and the first to retire from the office. “We are saddened to learn of the passing of retired GCSO K-9 Jeck,” Gallia County Sherrif Joe Browning wrote on GCSO’s Facebook page. “Jeck was retired from service in January 2013, after having been previously injured in the line of duty. Our condolences go out to his handler and family. EOW 9-20-2016.” Browning said GCSO currently has three K-9s – Bundi, owned by special Deputy Steve Heater and commissioned by GCSO; Thunder, a county-owned canine purchased with drug forfeiture funds; and Chan, who is in use with GCSO’s Vinton village contract deputy. “He was a smart dog,” Harrison said. “I’m going to miss him.” Browning said condolences may be posted on the sheriff’s Facebook page.

Southern sweeps Lady Falcons By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com MASON, W.Va. — As the evening progressed, the Lady Tornadoes kept getting stronger and stronger. The Southern volleyball team improved with each game on Tuesday night, as the Lady Tornadoes knocked off Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Wahama in straight games, on Gary Clark Court. The Lady Tornadoes (11-2, 7-1 TVC Hocking) — who never trailed in any of the three games — took the first game by a 25-11 count. SHS won the second game by a 25-9 margin and the third by a 25-7 final, capping off the sweep. Southern’s service attack was led by Sierra Cleland with 20 points and one ace, followed by Marlee Maynard with nine points and three aces. Katie Barton posted eight points, Kamryn Smith added seven, while Amanda Cole and Marissa Johnson each had five points, including two aces by Johnson. Macie Michael rounded out the SHS service attack with two points in the win. Wahama (0-8, 0-7) was led by Elizabeth Mullins with four service points and Alexis Mick with two. Rebekah Roach, Maddy VanMatre and Grace Hill each had one point for the Lady Falcons, in the setback. At the net, SHS was led by Smith with nine kills. Cleland, Cole and Faith Teaford each posted six kills, with Teaford coming up with the team’s lone block. Maynard and Michael finished with two kills apiece for the Purple and Gold, while Johnson had one kill for the victors. Southern and Wahama will meet again on October 11, in Racine.

Not only has MHS won three consecutive matches, but Meigs has won its last six games. “Meigs volleyball is back,” Lady Marauder head coach Lori Carter said. “They’ve turned it up these last two nights and I couldn’t be prouder. They went from not communicating to communicating, from not playing strong and aggressive to picking the other team apart and seeing what’s going on on the other court. It was like I had my team from last year back.” After visiting Logan on Wednesday, Meigs will return to action on Monday, at Warren.

Va. — Bolstered by their four counting scores all being 46 or lower, the Southern Tornadoes topped the Meigs Marauders 176-188 in a dual golf match on Tuesday at Riverside Golf Course in Mason, W. Va. Riverside is considered one of two home courses for the Tornadoes, while Meigs’ home matches take place at the Meigs County Course in Pomeroy. Jonah Hoback of Southern shared medalist honors with Levi Chapman of Meigs, as both players fired a five-over-par 40. From there, though, the Tornadoes took the contest with a pair of 45s from Ryan Acree and Jarrett Hupp — along with a 46 by Jensen Anderson. The other three Marauder scores which counted towards the team total were Chase Whitlatch with a 46, Wyatt Nicholson with a 48 and Bobby Musser with a 54. Southern’s two non-counting cards were Eli Hunter with a 54 and Tanner Thorla with a 56, while Meigs’ two non-counters were a 59 by Bryce Swatzel and a 64 by Brayden Ervin. The two teams also held a junior varsity match, with seven Marauders competing compared to five for the Tornadoes. The Marauders won 223-241, with Dawson Justice of Meigs leading the way with a 51. Brody Reynolds followed with a 53 for Meigs, along with a 57 by Caleb Stanley and a pair of 62s by Theo McElroy and Brody Delavalle. One of those 62s did not count towards the team total, nor did the 63 by Austin King or the 76 by Gus Kennnedy. Southern’s four counting cards included a 58 by Ashley Acree, a pair of 59s by Landen Hill and Trey Wood, and a 65 from Joey Weaver. The non-counting score was a 71 by Clayton Wamsley.

The Eastern golf team ran into a buzzsaw Tuesday afternoon as host Waterford posted a 30-stroke victory in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division match at Lakeside Golf Course in Washington County. The visiting Eagles needed a victory to overtake the league-leading Wildcats, but WHS posted four of the top five scores en route to a winning tally of 171. The Eagles shot one of their worst rounds of the year after posting a team tally of 201. EHS fell to 10-2 in TVC Hocking play, while the defending champion Wildcats improved their league mark to 12-1. Jordan Welch of WHS won medalist honors with a 3-over par effort of 37 on the front nine, with teammate Wes Jenkins earning runner-up honors with a 41. Travis Pottmyer and Evan Seever concluded the Waterford tally with respective rounds of 44 and 49. Kaleb Honaker led Eastern with a 47, followed by Garrett Chalfont with a 50 and Ryan Harbour with a 51. Nathan Hensley wrapped up the EHS tally with a 53, while John Little and John Harris added respective efforts of 54 and 59. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. while Wolfe was right behind him by a single second. The Tornadoes’ two other runners were Lucas Hunter in 52nd (20:40) and Tyler Pavich in 59th (20:59). All seven of the Marauders’ finishers were within the top 48, paced by senior James Parsons in 12th overall — in 18 minutes and eight seconds. Cole Betzing was 16th in 18:31, followed by Nate Hoover in 29th in 19:26. The final four Meigs scores were from Dillon Mahr (33rd in 19:40), Landon Davis (35th in 19:47), Joseph Cotterill (46th in 20:21) and Eli Leigh (47th in 20:22). Tristan Janey was the lone South Gallia representative — completing the 5K course in 76th-place in 22:14. Justin Anderson of Fort Frye was the race winner in 16 minutes and 29 seconds. On the girls side, the Lady Marauders managed 60 points, ahead of third-place Vinton County by 14 (74 points). Athens, with all seven of its runners placing in the top 11, easily won the team title with 19 points. River Valley finished fourth with 97 points, followed by New Lexington with 147 and Federal Hocking with 161. The Marauders’ top-five finishers all placed between 10th and 21st, including 10thplace Caitlyn Rest, who led the Maroon and Gold in 22 minutes and 57 seconds. Gracie Hoffman and Taylor Swartz crossed the line in 14th and 15th, as Hoffman ran a 23:13 and Swartz a 23:15. Madison Cremeans crossed in 20th and Marissa Noble in 21st, as Cremeans clocked in at 23:52 and Noble at 23:59. The Lady Marauders’ Ariann Sizemore was 36th in 25:53, while Carmen Doherty was 42nd in 26:35. River Valley’s sole senior, Leanne Hively, led the Lady Raiders with a 17th-place effort in 23:34. Kaylee Gillman was next in 23rd-place in 24:10, followed by Beth Gillman (29th in 24:44), Josie Jones (34th in 25:27), Yolanda Andre (35th in 25:31) and Sophie Branham (41st in 26:31). Rounding out the Lady Raider scores was Julia Nutter in 54th-place in 28:06. Southern was represented by four runners — 16th-place Sydney Roush (23:17), 33rd-place Mallory Johnson (25:20), 46thplace Madison Lisle (27:05) and 71st-place Kathryn Matson (32:12). South Gallia had two runners competing — sophomore Jessica Luther (31st in 25:09) and senior Autumn Norris (61st in 29:26). Another Fort Frye runner — senior Mary Kate McElroy — won the individual race in 19 minutes and 46 seconds.

Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. WVU receivers no longer susceptible to drops MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — That steady diet of drops by West Virginia wide receivers a year ago is turning into big gains so far this season. A unit led by Shelton Gibson, Daikiel Shorts and Ka’Raun White had success on their home field this month and will be looking for more Saturday when the Mountaineers (2-0) play BYU (1-2) in Landover, Maryland. The trio has combined for 89 percent of West Virginia’s receiving yards and four of the team’s five touchdown grabs. Gibson and Shorts are averaging more than 100 yards per game and rank in the top 20 nationally. They’re working under new wide receivers coach Tyron Carrier. A graduate assistant at Baylor last season, Carrier simply wants more consistency from a unit that hasn’t produced a 1,000-yard season since White’s brother, Kevin, did it in 2014. Gibson so far has made opponents pay as West Virginia’s main outside threat with a pair of long touchdown grabs. Shorts is quarterback Skyler Howard’s best quick-throw option to the inside and leads the team with 14 catches. Howard said Shorts is the player he can rely on to get open when the quarterback is forced out of the pocket. “I know where he’s going to go,” Howard said. “I’m comfortable throwing the ball to him if he’s covered because he’s going to catch it. He might get tackled, but he’s going to catch it.” White transferred a year ago from the same northeastern Pennsylvania junior college attended by brothers Kevin and Kyzir, who now is a safety for the Mountaineers. Ka’Raun White had a solid game in a Cactus Bowl win over Arizona State and his seven catches in two games this season are already about half of what he had for all of 2015. While Gibson led the team a year ago with 887 yards on just 37 receptions, he was one of those guilty of multiple drops and had several games of one or no catches. Gibson has kept the production going in part because he said at times he can anticipate when Howard will throw it deep. “Skyler gives me that look I already know,” Gibson said. “That’s just the connection we have.” The receiving corps’ biggest need is getting more production out of the fourth receiver spot. Sophomore Jovon Durante also has a history of multiple dropped passes and has one catch for four yards this season after being moved from the outside. “He just needs to settle down and let the game come to him,” Holgorsen said. West Virginia found success with intermediate passes in the season opener because Missouri’s safeties were guarding against the deep pass, but Howard couldn’t find the end zone. Howard threw for five TDs two weeks ago, three of them longer than 50 yards when Youngstown State’s safeties were caught trying to help stop the run. While Holgorsen said he expects BYU to try to limit West Virginia’s running game, which is averaging 5.1 yards per carry, he also wants the Mountaineers “to have the potential to be able to go downfield when the safeties are down and they’re playing the run.” BYU defensive lineman Corbin Kaufusi simply wants to slow things down for a Mountaineer offense that has averaged 82 plays and 559 yards. “I think everyone is excited to go after their quarterback, especially the idea of coming up against a high-powered offense,” Kaufusi said. “Let’s see what we can do.” Josh Gordon hit with warrant in paternity issue BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Suspended Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has had an arrest warrant issued against him in a paternity case. Gordon did not address several subpoenas and a Cuyahoga County judge issued the warrant last month, the county’s prosecu- tor’s office confirmed Wednesday. A woman alleges Gordon is the father of her 1-year-old daughter. Gordon is not eligible in the first four games this season because of his latest drug suspension. He can return to the field for the Browns game on Oct. 9 game against New England. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Gordon’s eligibility is not affected by the paternity issue. According to court documents, Gordon has ignored several requests to take a blood test to show whether he is the child’s father. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, September 22, 2016 Miscellaneous Notices Help Wanted General NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

RHYMES WITH ORANGE 1 6 2 5 �SPORTS 10 Thursday, September 22, 2016 Daily Sentinel Herd must avoid mistakes against No. 3 Louisville HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall already has seen the best and worst of quarterback Chase Litton this season. The Thundering Herd’s chances against No. 3 Louisville on Saturday night will rest on the sophomore relying on what went right in the opener against an FCS school, not last week’s turnover-plagued embarrassment against Akron. Litton is the latest “other” quarterback in a matchup with Heisman Trophy contender Lamar Jackson. Considering that Marshall plays few ranked opponents, especially at home, this might be the little-known Litton’s one shot at showcasing his talents on a big stage when the Thundering Herd (1-1) meet the Cardinals (3-0). “It’s my job to keep that offense on the field and continue to put up some points,” Litton said. “After this game, some people might have to know about me.” The task is monumental for a heavy underdog Marshall team that has only one win against a ranked opponent since joining the FBS in 1997. Marshall players and coaches are only looking at what they need to do this week, not what Louisville does — which is a lot. There will be few second chances to get it right. Marshall is accustomed to upsets at home — on the losing end. Look no further than last Saturday’s 65-38 loss to Akron , in which the Thundering Herd was a double-digit favorite. It marked a low point for a program that had won 10 games in each of the previous three seasons. An inexperienced secondary that was exposed by Akron will responsible for carrying out a plan to limit the damage done by Jackson, who already has thrown or run for 18 touchdowns. Safety Kendall Gant is the most experienced player in Marshall’s secondary with five career starts. “There’s an extra emphasis on everything this week, because you better be at your best,” said Marshall coach Doc Holliday. Another quick start this week would help Marshall’s offense or else the game might get out of hand. Jackson threw a 72-yard TD pass against Syracuse two weeks ago on the first play from scrimmage and staked Louisville to a 28-7 first-quarter lead. Against Florida State , Louisville already had a 14-0 lead in the game’s first 10 minutes. And Louisville’s defense has made talented quarterbacks look less than ordinary. The Cardinals had five sacks last week and has 13 overall. Syracuse’s Eric Dungey, the current ACC leader in passing yards, didn’t complete half his passes. Florida State freshman Deondre Francois was limited to 101 passing yards against the Cardinals after throwing for 681 yards and Bryan Walters/OVP Sports Marshall wide receiver Deon-Tay McManus, left, leaps for a touchdown grab during the first half of a September 10 football contest against Morgan State at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. five TDs in his two previous games. Now comes Litton, who is sixth nationally in passing yards per game at 361 and is 10-3 as a starter. He also has some bugs to work out. After throwing six touchdown passes to five different players in the season opener against FCS Morgan State, the wheels fell off for Litton after staking Marshall to a 21-7 lead against Akron. He lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, and one of his three interceptions also went for a score. Akron also returned a blocked punt for a touchdown, and two other Litton interceptions set up Akron TDs. “The first thing in the plan to win is take care of the football,” Holliday said. “That has to happen again or we’ll have no chance.” Litton insists he’s already put his gaffes in the past. “There’s just times that you brush it off and you focus on the moment,” he said. A big moment at that. Jackson Ironmen edge Blue Devils, 3-2 By Paul Boggs League, as Gallia Academy is now a full-fledged member of the OVC.

The Ironmen gained two early goals to lead 2-0, before the Blue Devils did battle back to forge a 2-2 halftime tie. But a Blue Devils defensive mistake led to the third Jackson goal — with 17 minutes remaining and which proved to be game-winner. “It was not a good game for us. We did not show up to play at all,” said GAHS coach Richard Isberner. “After Jackson scored two goals, we managed to tie at 2-2. The second half, our team did not show up and on our mistake Jackson scored the third goal.” The Ironmen amounted their two tallies in the first half with 29 and 25 minutes remaining. Gallia Academy senior striker Isaiah Lester landed his 18th goal of the season only a minute later, making it 2-1 — before Jacob Ratliff had the equalizer at the six-minute mark. Erin Lincoln collected an assist, as Lester led the Blue Devils with four of their 10 shots. However, Jackson got the game-winner with 17 minutes to play. The Ironmen outshot the Blue Devils 12-10, and held a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks. Gallia Academy senior goalkeeper Caden Wilt was credited with 11 saves.

T rees may require pruning for a variety reasons. Storms may have damaged branches, necessitating a pruning. In other instances, trees may have outgrown their yards, overpowering the landscape. Autumn and winter, when trees largely go dormant and fallen leaves make it easier to see the branches beneath, may be prime times to prune. Pruning during the dormant period also minimizes sap loss and stress to the tree, and can help cut down on the growth of fungi. In addition, insects are less likely to be problematic during the colder months of the year. Trimming and pruning can be handled by do-it-yourselfers if the branches are smaller and more manageable. Practice on thinner branches before moving on to thicker ones, which may require extra help. Branches may be heavy, and it takes a guided hand to ensure the branches fall in a safe manner so they do not cause damage or injury. Branches also need to be trimmed properly to facilitate good healing.

But nothing signals the arrival of fall more than the millions of leaves that begin to cascade from the trees as the temperatures dip. Many people feel nothing is more beautiful than the yellow, red, purple, and orange leaves that coat neighborhoods and countrysides each fall. But in spite of their beauty, leaves might be a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing the growing piles of them from their lawns. Those with large oak and maple trees in front of their homes understand the seemingly endless work of leaf removal. As the days begin to grow shorter and colder, these changes trigger a hormone release in trees, prompting them to drop their leaves. This chemical message causes the formation of abscission cells where the leaf stem meets the branch, say botanists at the Missouri Botanical Garden. So rather than merely dropping off of trees when the wind blows, the leaves actually fall off deliberately. /HIW�XQWRXFKHG��IDOOHQ�OHDYHV�FDQ�FRQWULEXWH� to lawn problems such as poor aeration, mold JURZWK�DQG�PRLVWXUH�LVVXHV��/HDYHV�DOVR�FDQ� cause staining on driveways and walkways. Prompt removal can help prevent any problems. To make faster and easier work of leaf removal, keep these tips in mind. Simplify fall leaf \e^Zgni Mow over thin leaf coverage. If only a few leaves have fallen, use a mulching mower to shred the leaves until they are small HQRXJK�WKDW�WKH\�ZRQ·W�VXIIRFDWH�WKH�ODZQ�� The small pieces will decompose in the lawn, reintroducing nutrients as a result. Use a tarp. Rake or blow leaves onto a tarp and then drag the tarp to the curbside or to the back of a truck for proper disposal. Special leaf scoopers enable you to grab more leaves if they need to be picked up and transported. Otherwise, you can use the covers from two garbage pails to achieve a similar effect. Work with the wind. Rake in the direction the wind is blowing and downhill if your property slopes. This way it will be easier on you, and \RX�ZRQ·W�EH�ZRUNLQJ�DJDLQVW�0RWKHU�1DWXUH� Spread out the job.�'R�QRW�DWWHPSW�WR�UHPRYH� all fallen leaves in a single day. Schedule a few cleaning days during the season to make lighter work of the job than if you tried to do it all at once. Keep in mind that leaves will continue to fall throughout the season and you may need to spend a few days removing leaves from your yard. Removing leaves is a large part of fall home maintenance.

The following are a few items homeowners can add to their fall home improvement to-do lists. + Patio cleanup Patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer, and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. Once you store patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to determine if it needs any refurbishing. While certain patio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in the sidewalk that need to be addressed.

Inspect your ceilings for signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address any leaks immediately. Gutter cleaning While some homeowners prefer to delay their gutter cleaning projects until late fall, those whose homes are surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such projects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can cause serious roof damage, and that damage can extend all the way inside a home. In addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters. Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a trash can below. Standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. If the gutters are clear when \RX�ÀUVW�H[DPLQH�WKHP�LQ�HDUO\�IDOO��\RX�FDQ�ZDLW� until later in the season to give them a complete DQG�WKRURXJK�FOHDQLQJ��2QFH�\RX�KDYH�ÀQLVKHG clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water through them and the downspouts to FRQÀUP�HYHU\WKLQJ�LV�IXQFWLRQLQJ�SURSHUO\� Window and doorway inspection Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. Over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start of winter. Cold air can enter a home through cracks around windows and GRRUZD\V��DQG�PDQ\�KRPHRZQHUV�ZKR�GRQ·W� suspect leaks may respond by turning up the thermostats in their homes. That can prove quite expensive over a full winter. Choose a windy autumn day to place a hand by windows and external doorways in your home to see if you can feel drafts. If you can, seal these cracks as soon as possible. �6 Thursday, September 22, 2016 Gallipolis DailyTribune, The Daily Sentinel, and Point Pleasant Register FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT Ma^�ihineZkbmr�h_�ma^�\hehk�pabm^ Kitchen While rich cherrywood cabinets and deeply hued granite countertops have long been popular in kitchens, creamy white cabinets paired with blonde wood countertops can work together to make kitchens seem open and airy.
