God’s Hands, as the group has often been referred to in short about Gallia County, will distribute this food throughout the holiday season and winter to those in need.

The Medical Shoppe had been taking collections of new, unused and unwrapped gifts for kids with a minimum value of $5. Each time someone donated a new toy, they were entered into a drawing for a free lift chair. More on who won the lift chair in an upcoming edition. The Medical Shoppe and Gallipolis Daily Tribune partnered in the project, with the Tribune as a second toy collection destination. Andrea Saunders, the marketer at the Medical Shoppe and respiratory therapist, stated she hopes the giveaway becomes an annual event. “We think it’s very Wilma Gooch important to do things Madilyn Stroud sits on Santa’s lap to receive a toy at the Medical like this for our commuShoppe’s “Santa Christmas Giveaway” on Friday. nity,” Saunders had said.

While families gathered inside cozy homes, one tiny dog shivered outside at the end of a heavy chain, surrounded by puddles the size of small ponds. His only shelter — if it could even be called that — was a decrepit doghouse whose sagging roof and crumbling walls offered no protection from the frigid winter rain. He was full of heartworms and so emaciated that nearly every bone in his small frame showed Lindsay through his skin. Pollard-Post For neglected, forgotten animals Contributing like Gus (as this sweet dog was columnist later named), the holidays are nothing to celebrate and the new year holds little hope — unless a caring person intervenes. Fortunately for Gus, that’s exactly what happened. Two PETA volunteers were delivering doghouses and straw to help chained and penned dogs survive the winter when they spotted him. They asked his owner if he needed help, and the man explained that he couldn’t afford to feed Gus and was thinking about turning him loose in the woods. The volunteers offered to take the little dog in, and his owner readily agreed. After a good meal and a warm bath, Gus spent his ﬁrst Christmas indoors, with a comfy For neglected, bed and plenty of love forgotten animals and attention from his like Gus (as this foster caretaker. Eventusweet dog was ally, he was adopted, and his adoring guardlater named), ian reported that when the holidays are nothing to celebrate she let him outside, he would jump up on chairs and the new year or other objects in the holds little hope yard. She suspects that he did so because he’d — unless a caring had quite enough of person intervenes. sitting chained on the Fortunately for Gus, cold, hard ground in his that’s exactly what previous life. happened. Despite his ordeal, Gus is friendly and wants to meet everyone. His favorite thing to do is snuggle under the covers. Gus is one of the lucky ones — and so was Soupster. PETA got a frantic call one Christmas Eve from a family who wanted to surrender their dog immediately, before their new baby came home from the hospital. They’d already tried calling the shelter where they had adopted Soupster (who was then called Star) two years earlier, but there was no room at the inn: Its waiting list was weeks long. Soupster’s owners wouldn’t wait that long, and as it turned out, neither could she. PETA welcomed her in and got her emergency veterinary care right away. Her fur was so ﬁlthy and matted that it had to be completely shaved off, and she had so many ﬂeas that she was anemic from blood loss. All but three of her teeth had to be pulled. An untreated infection had spread to her sinuses, leaving the roof of her mouth in need of stitches. She had mammary tumors, an ear infection that left her deaf, and severe kidney and urinary tract infections. Her blood test revealed kidney failure. The veterinarian estimated that even with treatment, she had just three to six months to live. But then a miracle happened: After weeks of intensive veterinary care in a foster home, Soupster’s health turned a corner. She regained her strength and her spirit, and a follow-up test revealed that her kidney function was nearly back to normal. The PETA staffer who nursed her over the holidays adopted her — and for the last year and a half of her life, the little dog knew the comfort of a real home and the love of a family. The only sign of her ordeal was her little pink tongue that sometimes hung out because she had no teeth to hold it in. Eventually, because of the neglect that she had previously suffered, her kidney disease worsened, and her guardian made the difﬁcult but compassionate decision to euthanize her. PETA’s ﬁeldworkers aren’t like Santa — they can’t make it to every house in the world. That’s why animals like Gus and Soupster need caring people in every community watching out for them — during the holidays and year round. If there are chained or penned dogs in your neighborhood, ensure they have food, water and shelter. If they lack these or if the situation is lifethreatening, notify authorities immediately. In non-emergency situations, encourage their owners to take them for walks (or offer to do so yourself), allow them indoors, and give them daily companionship and attention. If you witness or suspect that animals are being abused or neglected, call the police immediately. And urge your local shelter to accept all animals in need. You could be an animal’s angel this holiday season. Lindsay Pollard-Post is a senior writer for the PETA Foundation, 501 Front St., Norfolk, Va. THEIR VIEW Who will you be for the holidays? Who will you be this Christmas? What are you going as this Hanukkah? How are you going to dress for Kwanzaa? Do you have a groovy getup for Festivus?

THEIR VIEW Sixth Amendment a shield against injustice If you ever suffer the misfortune of being charged with a serious crime, you will be glad that the Sixth Amendment exists. It contains the minimal requirements necessary to prevent the federal and state governments from convicting and punishing an innocent person or from railroading a defendant, whether guilty or innocent, by using a Sovietera “show trial” as the predicate for throwing him into prison. Let’s walk through the text of the amendment to see how it works. only “the accused” “In all criminal Paul J. can invoke the prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy Larkin Jr. amendment’s Contributing rights. … “: That phrase ” … the right to identiﬁes and lim- columnist a speedy and pubits the type of prolic trial … “: That ceedings at stake, phrase gives a defendant as well as the person three separate rights. whom the amendment protects.

Carroll said the event yielded two vans and a pickup truck full of food. In early December, the organization held a free toy distribution through its ﬁve county reach covering Gallia, Jackson, Mason Meigs and Vinton. Around 300 children were provided for. “We originally aimed to give away our gently used toys but found that we had to get more,” said Carroll. “The kids also got a pair of pajamas as well.” Carroll said the organization has partnered several times with Vinton Elementary School, just across the street on Keystone Road in Vinton. Carroll said Vinton Elementary students provided pajamas as part of charity efforts for the holiday season. “Parents were actually able to come in and shop (at the nonproﬁt’s facility),” said Carroll. “Many programs the parents don’t know what a child might get until Christmas. We want to let the parents maintain as much dignity as possible when experiencing a hardship.” Local Girl Scout Troop 201 made cards for nursing homes and provided food and clothing donations to God’s Hands efforts.

We also feel that working side by side with our Sheriff’s ofﬁce is one of the greatest ways to ensure this. the community to please thank your neighbors because your friends and neighbors are the reason that events like this are successful. “Each year we are humbled by the volunteers who show up, again and again, giving their personal time to help their community. And it is important to mention without the continued existence and support of the amazing team involved with the Syracuse Community Center, events like this would just not happen so successfully” offered Tina Wood Richards, Loyalty is Forever volunteer. Helping make the event a success were C & J Auto Body LLC, Swisher & Lohse, Home National Bank, Farmers Bank & Savings Co., Aristeo, Pizza Dan’s, Riverside Auto & Towing LLC, Joy Burdette, Racine Optometric Clinic, Little Sheets & Barr, Scout Camp Cattle Farm, The Syracuse Community Center, Clark’s Jewelry, Julie Spaun, Debby McKinney, Carrie Sheets, Michael Lieving, Shannon Miller, and Alyssa Richards. Our group is dedicated to the process of making this happen, but we can’t do it alone.” Throughout the evening, over 65 prizes were awarded for the basket games, giveaways, door prizes, and sweater contest. As with previous years, each game winner took home one Thirty-One Bag and one 2016 Longaberger basket for every game. Basket game players went home with prizes which totaled anywhere from $75 to $300. Many area businesses and individuals stepped forward to offer their support of the Basket Games, in which all proceeds were to beneﬁt programs in our Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. In a brief speech delivered during the evening, Sheriff Keith Wood added that his team is more than grateful for events like these, as they add to the services that his team can offer Meigs County, and attending events like these and enjoying community support is a great reminder of their goals and the communities support.

A public trial keeps the government from using a sham proceeding hidden from public view. ” … by an impartial jury … “: The framers’ generation saw the right to a jury trial as the fundamental guarantee of fairness. Before the American Revolution, the English crown proposed that trials be held in admiralty courts, where no jury was used. The revolutionary generation objected strongly to being tried by a judge hand-selected by the king and made sure that only the members of a defendant’s community could ﬁnd him guilty. ” … of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law … “: That provision keeps the government from trying a New Yorker in Harrisburg, Pa., for a crime that occurred in the Meadowlands (a valuable guarantee, given the strong rivalry between Giants and Eagles fans). It also keeps the government from retroactively changing the size of a “district” to include the entire state and trying a defendant in Pittsburgh for a crime that occurred in Philly. ” … and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation … “: The government cannot bring a person to trial without telling him why — that is, without informing him what crime he is alleged to have committed. Otherwise, a defendant would not know what defense to assert (“I was in a different state when the horse was stolen.” versus “I bought the horse lawfully.”) or what witnesses to produce (someone who saw the defendant in the other state versus the person who sold him the horse).

Why? Well, it is more difﬁcult to lie to someone’s face than to do so in a letter. Also, forcing the government to bring its witnesses into court, where they are sworn to testify truthfully, not only deters them from lying, but also enables the jury to decide whether they are, in fact, lying. ” … to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor … “: How often do we hear people say, “I don’t want to get involved,” perhaps because they fear retaliation by the government if they testify for a defendant? This provision gives the accused the right to force those people to appear as witnesses by enabling him to subpoena them for his defense. ” … and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.”: Trials are complex. It’s a given that the government will be represented by a prosecutor trained in the law, so it’s only fair to allow the defendant to have a lawyer as his representative. This clause guarantees a defendant a competent attorney to be his champion in court. In fact, if the defendant cannot afford a lawyer, the government will provide him one. Do those clauses prevent the conviction of an innocent person? Are other protections also required? The answers are “No” and “Yes,” respectively. Other laws, such as rules of evidence, are also necessary. But the Sixth Amendment, in 1791 and today, guarantees the fundamental elements of a fair trial, guarantees that, while not sufﬁcient, certainly are necessary.

By outscoring Wellston 15-1 in the second quarter, visiting Meigs erased an 11-9 ﬁrst-period deﬁcit — and cruised to an easy 55-30 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division girls basketball victory. That’s correct. Spearheaded by stymieing the Golden Rockets to a mere second-stanza free throw, the Lady Marauders jump-started themselves in controlling the contest’s ﬁnal three cantos. After doubling up Wellston 24-12 at halftime, the Marauders then outscored the Lady Rockets 31-18 in the second half. For the ﬁnal three quarters, the count was a whopping 46-19 in favor of Meigs, including 15-7 in the last. With the win, the Marauders are now 3-1 — and an even 1-1 in the TVC-Ohio. Wellston, conversely, fell to an even 3-3 — and is now 0-3 in the league. The Maroon and Gold locked down the Rockets to a frigid 23-percent (11-of-47) shooting, including 3-of-19 (16-percent) from three-point range. Wellston was also frosty from the free-throw line, making only 5-of-18. Meigs, meanwhile, mustered 22 total ﬁeld goals to Wellston’s 11 — and shot 39-percent (22-of-56) from the ﬁeld. The Meigs Countians also outrebounded the Golden Rockets, 53-41. The Lady Marauders exhibited excellent scoring balance, paced by Madison Hendricks with 10 points — while Devin Humphreys, Alli Hatﬁeld and Madison Fields ﬁnished with eight points apiece. Hendricks, Hatﬁeld and Humphreys hit for four ﬁeld goals apiece, while Fields pumped in two three-pointers — and 2-of-4 free throws. Kassidy Betzing’s all-around good game featured seven points on three ﬁeld goals — along with game-highs in both rebounds (10) and in steals (four).

Meigs holds off hard-charging Raiders By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — River Valley’s Jarret McCarley certainly made the ﬁnal few seconds most interesting. But Meigs’ trio of Christian Mattox, Luke Musser and Dillon Mahr made it just a tad too much for the host Raiders to complete the comeback. The Marauders’ triumvirate combined for all but four of the club’s points on Friday night, as Meigs fended off the hard-charging Raiders 55-52 in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division boys basketball tilt. Despite saying his team was “totally unprepared and outplayed in every phase of the game,” in his postgame media interview, Meigs head coach Ed Fry was at least relieved his squad secured the win. The Marauders’ 55 points on Friday did mark a season-high, previously established on Tuesday night in their 53-49 victory over visiting Alexander. “We weren’t in the proper mindset to play tonight. Just expecting to come in here and walk all over River Valley. They forgot that the River Valley kids want to win too,” said Fry. “Hopefully, it’s a learning experience, because we just didn’t come with the mental toughness that we needed. And I will take the blame for that.” In a contest in which both teams desperately needed a win, Meigs raced out to a 23-10 lead following the ﬁrst quarter — only to watch the Raiders rally, and stake a short-lived 35-33 edge just over halfway through the third period. “We got that big lead and we got very complacent,” said Fry. “And our guys got tired out there. Early on we were pressing and running our halfcourt trap, but our guys got tired and the guys off the bench didn’t deliver either.” But the Marauders responded over the next nine minutes and 13 seconds, amassing a three-pack of nine-point fourth-quarter advantages — including 55-46 with 36 seconds remaining. However, Meigs — despite being in the bonus free-throw situation throughout the ﬁnal quarter — made only 3-of-8, part of just 4-of-13 in the entire second half, after sinking 4-of-4 in the ﬁrst. “The more we shoot free throws in practice, the worse we get at it,” said Fry. “But that’s all the six inches between the ears. We’ve got to be mentally tougher.” Fortunately for the Maroon and Gold, Mattox made a double-bonus pair with 36 seconds left — giving the Marauders their 55-46 cushion. But McCarley made Meigs nervous inside the ﬁnal half-minute, knocking down two threepointers — and making it 55-52 with only 11.4 seconds to play. Mattox then missed a double-bonus pair with nine ticks left, and McCarley got one last look from the top of the key to send the game into overtime. But the shot was a shade off the mark, and Meigs held on for its second consecutive victory. “I hugged that kid (McCarley) who missed the last shot. He should have hit it the way our kids played all night,” said Fry. With the win, the Marauders raised their record to 2-4 — and a perfect 2-0 in the TVCOhio. Despite a valiant effort in almost completing the comeback, the Raiders fell for the ﬁfth straight time — and dropped to 1-4 with an 0-3 league mark. For the Raiders, after allowing eight three-balls in a 61-41 loss at Wellston on Tuesday night, they allowed nine triples to go down against Meigs. Musser made ﬁve, Mattox three and Mahr canned the other — including three by Musser and two by Mattox as part of the pivotal ﬁrst period. “We’re not used to that. We’re not a team that likes to get down like that, but I’m proud of the guys for ﬁghting back and playing different,” said RVHS coach Bryan Drummond. “Meigs’ guys are quick and are fast off the bounce. It’s hard to play them man-to-man and we’re a man team. We did some things different defensively tonight, and it seemed to work for the last three quarters. I thought we played very well defensively for the last three quarters. But that’s still three games in a row where teams have made three-point shots on us.” That was, in fact, the largest lead of the entire night for Meigs. “We were 5-of-9 from three in the ﬁrst quarter, but we got ‘three-happy’ See MEIGS | 2B �SPORTS 2B Sunday, December 18, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel Defenders surge past Hannan, 54-46 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — A tale of two halves. The Ohio Valley Christian boys basketball team trailed visiting Hannan by eight points at halftime, on Thursday night in the Old French City. However, the Defenders outscored HHS by 16 points in the ﬁnal 16 minutes, and OVCS claimed the 54-46 victory. The Wildcats (2-2) — who had won back-to-back games prior to Thursday — outscored the Defenders (3-2) by matching counts of 17-13 in the ﬁrst two periods, for a 34-26 lead at the half. Hannan made 11-of-25 ﬁeld goal attempts in the ﬁrst half, including 6-of-11 three-point tries. Meanwhile, OVCS was 10-of-34 from the ﬁeld, including 5-of-15 from deep. HHS was also 6-of-11 from the free throw line, while the Defenders were 1-of-3 from the stripe in the ﬁrst half. “We came out ﬂat in the ﬁrst half and that’s at least the fourth game this year that we’ve come out ﬂat,” OVCS head coach Steve Rice said. “We didn’t have a since of urgency, and we played littleto-no defense in the ﬁrst half. It was pretty aggravating to watch, to be honest.” Hannan outrebounded Ohio Valley Christian by a 21-to-15 clip in the ﬁrst half, but the Defenders claimed a 3-to-5 edge in the turnover category. The Wildcats went cold after the half, scoring just three points in the third period, on 1-of-14 shooting. Ohio Valley Christian shot just 2-of-8 from the ﬁeld, in the third, but the Defenders were 6-of-6 from the line, cutting the HHS lead to 37-36 with one period to play. Hannan scored the ﬁrst three points of the fourth period, but OVCS went on a 6-to-2 run to tie the game at 42. The Wildcats reestablished the lead with a Dalton Coleman trifecta, with 5:13 to go. OVCS pulled within one point on the next possession, and the Defenders took a 47-45 lead — their ﬁrst advantage since the ﬁrst quarter — on an old-fashioned three-pointer by Austin Ragan, with 4:18 to go. Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Ohio Valley Christian senior Austin Ragan (5) hits a and-1 layup to give the Defenders the lead with 4:18 left in the game, during the Defenders’ 54-46 win, on Thursday in Gallipolis. Hannan sank a free throw to pull within one point at the 4:07 mark, but the Wildcats never scored again. OVCS extended the lead to 49-46 with 2:50 left, and the Defenders sank 5-of-6 free throws in the ﬁnal 17 seconds to cap off the 54-46 victory. “I basically told them, ‘we’re going to take the ball to the hole and we have to pick up our defensive intensity,’ which we did,” Rice said of his halftime adjustments. “We took the ball to hole and made them play defense. In the ﬁrst half, we were jacking up a lot of threes and we weren’t hitting them.” After 15 trifecta attempts in the ﬁrst half, OVCS tried just three triples in the second half, missing all three. For the game, the Defenders shot 13-of-17 (76.5 percent) from the free throw line and 18-of-53 from the ﬁeld (34 percent), including 5-of-18 (27.8 percent) from beyond the arc. After the half, Hannan shot just 3-of-26 from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-14 from deep. For the game, the Wildcats were 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) from the free throw line and 14-of-51 (27.5 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 8-of-25 (36 percent) from three-point land. “For the ﬁrst time, we actually came together and we played a really good half, disciplined and uniﬁed,” Hannan head coach Ross Thornton said. “In the second half they changed up their defense and put a little more pressure on us. Some of the shots just didn’t fall, and it happens sometimes. They’re a really good team we played, they shoot the ball well and they’re well disciplined.” For the game, Hannan claimed a 41-to-29 advantage on the glass, including a 15-to9 edge in offensive rebounds. OVCS committed just six turnovers in the win, seven less than what Hannan committed. The Ohio Valley Christian offense was led by Elijah McDonald with 19 points and four assists. Austin Ragan posted 15 points, seven rebounds and a game-best three steals for the Defenders, while Justin Beaver added 13 points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Hollis Morrison scored three points for the victors, while Michael Gruber and Nate Dubs each had two points. Dalton Coleman led the Wildcats with 16 points, followed by Malachi Cade with 12. Corey Hudnall marked nine points and a team-high four assists, Chase Nelson chipped in with seven points and eight rebounds, while Logan Nibert had two points and a game-best 13 rebounds. Coleman and Hudnall led the HHS defense with three steals apiece. The Wildcats and Defenders will do battle again on February 13, in Ashton. Hannan is part in the West Virginia State Hoops Classic on Friday and will return home on Thursday, against Buffalo. “We knew that the competition was going to get a little tougher in this stretch,” Thornton said. “If we play with this level of effort, then we’ll be just ﬁne.” OVCS returns to action in a tournament at Covenant on Friday and Saturday and will be on the road Tuesday, visiting Wood County Christian.

In the past seven days, the Gallia Academy boys basketball team won all three of its contests, with the Blue Devils picking up a 57-48 win over Ohio Valley Conference guest Rock Hill, on Friday night in Gallia County. Gallia Academy (4-1, 2-0 Pullins OVC) led by just three points, 16-13, at the end of the ﬁrst period, but the Blue Devils went on a 13-to-5 run in the second. GAHS outscored the Redmen by a 13-to-12 count in the third period, pushing its lead to 42-30. GAHS made 6-of-8 free throws in the fourth quarter — along with one threepointer and a trio of two’s — to seal the 57-48 victory.

Meigs From page 1B there because we got the big lead,” said Fry. “We didn’t do a very good job of attacking their defense and forcing them into foul trouble. After the ﬁrst quarter, they did a good job of switching up defensively, and that seemed to throw our kids for a loop.” Musser poured in 19 points on seven total ﬁeld goals, while Mattox mustered six ﬁeld goals and 3-of-6 foul shots for 18 points. Mahr managed 14 points on ﬁve ﬁeld goals and 3-of-7 foul shots, as Jared Kennedy connected on a ﬁrstquarter ﬁeld goal and two free throws. The Marauders shot 19-of-55 (34.5-percent) from the ﬁeld, which included 10-of-27 from two-point range — and 9-of-28 from three. Kennedy ripped down nine of the team’s 29 rebounds, while Weston Baer had six boards and made off with ﬁve steals. McCarley matched Musser with 19 points — as he hit four deuces, three treys and 2-of-2 foul shots. Dustin Barber bucketed ﬁve ﬁeld goals and 3-of-5 foul shots for 14 points, as Jacob Dovenbarger drilled four ﬁeld goals for nine. Rory Twyman with the game’s opening threepointer, Patrick Brown with a ﬁrst-quarter free throw, Tre Craycraft with two ﬁrstquarter foul shots, Jacob Campbell with two secondquarter freebies, and Ian Polcyn with a third-period basket rounded out the Raiders’ scoring. The Raiders only led for 40 seconds of game time, as the tilt was tied twice with three lead changes. River Valley reversed its ﬁrst-quarter deﬁcit with a 15-6 output in the second stanza, trailing only 29-25 at halftime — after getting as close as 27-25 with 1:55 to play. With Meigs maintaining a 48-44 advantage with four minutes remaining, the Marauders ran exactly a minute-and-a-half off the clock, before Mattox made a drive and layup. Then, after an airball by the Raiders, Mattox managed to split the Raider defense again only 21 seconds later — for an oldfashioned three-point play. “We made a nice comeback and the kids battled,” said Drummond. “We just have some fundamental deﬁciencies on offense and defense that we have to work on.” Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2100.

By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com BIDWELL, Ohio — Simply put, Alexander pressed the issue. That’s because the visiting Lady Spartans, forcing several River Valley turnovers with their sweltering full-court press, converted multiple steals into transition points — and easily captured a 67-24 Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division girls basketball victory on Thursday night. The Lady Spartans scored the game’s opening seven points, and defensively trapped and stole their way to a lead that only extended as the contest went along. Alexander amassed advantages of 21-6 following the ﬁrst quarter, 37-10 at halftime, and 52-16 after the third period. The Lady Spartans’ largest lead — with a minute-and-a-half remaining and with 14 seconds left — stood at 65-22 and the ﬁnal score of 67-24. Alexander’s Taylor Meadows made a ﬁeld goal and Mallory Raines registered two free throws for those ﬁnal points. With the win, the Lady Spartans remained perfect atop the TVC-Ohio at 3-0, part of 5-2 overall. The loss left the Lady Raiders at an opposite 2-5, as they slipped to 2-1 in the league. Alexander ended up with 27 total ﬁeld goals, 23 of which were inside the arc — while River Valley made 12 deuces and Trimble tops Tornadoes By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com RACINE, Ohio — Another night of woes, just not on the road. The Southern boys basketball team dropped its second straight decision Friday night following a 66-52 setback to visiting Trimble in a TriValley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Meigs County. The Tornadoes (3-2, 2-2 TVC Hocking) suffered their ﬁrst home loss of the season, thanks in large part to a 36-24 second half surge that allowed the Tomcats (4-0, 4-0) to remain unbeaten while extending a slim 30-28 halftime advantage. THS also proved to be the more aggressive group on the hardwood after earning 39 free throw attempts in the contest, which led to 25 makes for a 64 percent average. Southern, conversely, was only 6-of-7 at the charity stripe for 85 percent. The Purple and Gold netted 20-of-44 ﬁeld goal attempts for 45 percent, including a 6-of-22 effort from three-point range for 27 percent. The hosts also committed 11 turnovers and had 24 rebounds (six offensive) in the setback. Dylan Smith paced SHS with a game-high 22 points, followed by Crenson Rogers with 13 points and Tylar Blevins with nine markers. Blake Johnson and Trey Pickens rounded out the scoring with respective efforts of ﬁve and three markers. Pickens hauled in a team-high eight rebounds and Rogers had ﬁve boards. Smith dished out eight assists and also had a team-best two steals. The Tomcats were 18-of-45 from the ﬁeld for 40 percent, including a 5-of-13 effort from threepoint range for 38 percent. THS hauled in 38 rebounds (seven offensive) and also committed nine turnovers in the triumph. Randy Hixson led Trimble with 21 points, followed by Kameron Curry with 14 points and Tyler Slack with 13 markers. Ryan Richards also added a double-digit effort with 12 points. Alex Coffman and Max Hooper completed the winning tally with four and two points, respectively. Slack led the guests with 12 rebounds and Curry added another eight caroms. Slack also had a team-high ﬁve assists. Paul Boggs | OVP Sports no treys. The Raiders also did not attempt a single free throw, while the Lady Spartans sank all nine of their attempts. Alexander’s Alexis Mohler, only 28 seconds in, made a three-pointer off the wing — as she then scored two more baskets to make it 7-0 only a minute and 50 seconds gone by. The Lady Raiders ﬁnally got on the scoreboard at the 5:52 mark — when Jaden Neal netted a shot off a Beth Gillman assist. After Alexander scored again, Erin Jackson drove in from the left side and scored, making it 9-4 at the three-minute mark — but River Valley would creep no closer the remainder of the way. The Spartans then scored eight unanswered points, and 12 of the ﬁnal 14 in the quarter — as Jessica Steele scored off a Jackson assist with eight seconds remaining. In the second stanza, the Lady Raiders’ only markers were a Gillman ﬁeld goal at the 3:45 point, and a Maggie Campbell basket threeand-a-half minutes later. In the third frame, Jackson’s jumper landed in only 43 seconds into the period, but she injured her right knee on the shot — and missed the remainder of the quarter. Alexander amounted the next 11 points to lead 50-12, before a pair of Cierra Roberts buckets for River Valley — with 42 seconds left and again at the buzzer. The Lady Raiders’ fourth-quarter points came on four more ﬁeld goals — Steele at 4:45, Neal at four minutes even, and ﬁnally a pair by Jackson with 2:20 and 32 seconds to play. Leah Richardson paced the Lady Spartans, scoring a dozen points on the strength of two twos and two threes. Rachel Richardson (11 points), Jala Mace (10 points), Lexi Whitney (eight points) and Mohler (nine points) also made four ﬁeld goals —as Rachel Richardson had three free throws, along with two apiece by Leah Richardson and Mace. Kristen Taylor tallied three ﬁeld goals for six points, and McKena Rice recorded two ﬁeld goals for four. Makaela Trout tacked on a triple to round out the Spartans’ scoring. River Valley returns home, and steps out of conference action, on Monday night when it hosts Coal Grove.

Families are creating new traditions by piling into the minivan and making a night out of visiting popular Christmas lighting displays in the area. Some of the most well known are Gallipolis In Lights in City Park, the Krodel Christmas Light Show in Point Pleasant and the Christmas lights display at the West Virginia State Farm Museum north of Point Pleasant. Growing in popularity are the Christmas trees in Gunn Park in Point Pleasant, which is better known as the home of the Mothman Statue. Gallipolis In Lights Roughly 1,300 light balls, over 125 themed Christmas trees, as well as Christmas trees synchronized to music, and countless strings of lights, help bring City Park to life each Christmas season via Gallipolis In Lights. Visitors can either walk through or drive around the display. Those walking through the park can do so while listening to Christmas carols from an outdoor sound system and have an opportunity to read the personalized messages on the themed trees. Volunteers and fundraisers help bring the show to life each year and electrify the park with Christmas spirit. West Virginia State Farm Museum Over one million lights greet visitors to this display just north of Point Pleasant. Open nightly from 6-9 p.m. through Sunday, Dec. 18, visitors can see the many historic displays adorned with lights - from a log church to a one-room schoolhouse. Santa Claus is ready to visit with children each night and free cookies and hot chocolate are available in the Country Kitchen. Free admission. Krodel Christmas Light Show Open nightly at Krodel Park in Point Pleasant, the Krodel Christmas Light Show is open from 5:30-9 p.m. though Dec. 31. Main Street Point Pleasant brings the show to life each year, with assistance from the City of Point Pleasant and many volunteers who take donations at the gate. Though the show is free, monetary donations of any kind are appreciated to help fund the event each year. See lighting displays for all ages. Gunn Park at Point Pleasant Known as the home of the Mothman, Gunn Park is now home to the City of Point Pleasant’s ofﬁcial Christmas tree and themed trees from the Light of Christmas tree project, the latter of which raises money for the Toys for Kids organization. After driving through Krodel Park, visitors can drive around Gunn Park and take in the trees, both big and small. Trees will be lit through Dec. 31.

Admission is free though donations are welcome. Visitors can drive through the park taking in displays which include everything from from a nativity scene to Mothman.

Having a safe Christmas and a Happy New Year This article is about having a safe, enjoyable holiday season whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and, of course, a Happy New Year! There are three areas discussed: home decorating, celebrations and outdoor activities. They all are traditional components of safe holiday endeavors. Do NOT over use outlets by plugging adapters into 2 plug outlets that will expand the outlet to 4 or 6 or more outlets. This can result in excessive heat and cause a ﬁre. USE a 4-or 6-outlet power strip with Meigs a thick (3/8” diameter) 4’ Health long cord if you need more Matters outlets. READ the labels of Frank Gorscak the electrical devices you’re using. Do not use a total of 15 amps per outlet, even if you have a 20-amp breaker. First: Home Decorating When holiday decorating, please remember these tips: �Fh[l[dj�\Wbbi��M^[d�ijh_d]ing lights on a tree or your house, putting up signs or garland or other decorations, use a ladder, not a chair or a tabletop or someone’s back. Ladders prevent falls, preventing falls prevents broken bones, sprains and broken lights. This saves pain, aggravation and frustration. (if you’re an aging babyboomer or a sleek millennial, you’ll be thankful for a lack of breaks!) �Fh[l[dj�[b[Yjh_YWb�fheXb[ci�� Do NOT use extension cords over four feet long and that are thinner than the cord you are extending. Second: Celebrating Celebrations are a major reason for the season! If you drink adult beverages, practice moderation. Who wants a New Year’s Day hangover? REMEMBER: DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE! Why put yourself, your family, and others at risk by drinking and driving? Just don’t do it! Third: Outdoor Activities As polar vortices, Alberta Clippers and other despicable denizens of winter weather intrude on our festivities, be careful when dealing with their effects! �Idem�i^el[b_d]#M^_b[�_cX_Xing a warm cup of hot chocolate, impose your will on an unassuming teenager! Ban them from video games and texting until they shovel the snow from your driveway and sidewalks! Have them bring in ﬁrewood! The exercise will do them good and there are no apps available to do it for them! BUT, if you must shovel, then take your time, dress warmly, and don’t over-expose yourself to winter weather. AND if you can’t shovel, ask a neighbor, hire someone or watch Netﬂix until the spring thaw. �Cel[�iekj^�\eh�j^[�m_dj[h1� it’s easier to lay on the sand at Daytona Beach than shovel snow! (My brother did this 30 years ago, and hasn’t been back since!) I hope I’ve been helpful (and humorous) in this article. While this is a time of worship, celebration and starting anew, it is also a time to do so safely and to practice preparedness and vigilance.
