Staff report is important to achieving good health. “Anyone six months of age or older who hasn’t yet received a flu shot this year should receive one as soon as possible,” Dr. Powell said. “Side effects from flu shots are rare; that’s a fact. Also, there’s something called ‘herd immunity’ that means if most people get the vaccine then the flu won’t be as big a problem in the community. “It is true that the effectiveness of the shot is not always perfect, but it is extremely important to get the vaccine if you live with or are around someone that has a lowered immune system,” Powell continued. “So getting a quick flu shot not only helps you, but it helps everyone. Every year people die from complications of the flu but you can help, so do it.” Powell specializes in many areas of medicine including preventative health care and there is nothing more preventative than a flu shot during flu season. He also provides treatment for pneumonia as well as other medical conditions like atrial fibrillation, COPD, coro- nary artery disease, depression, diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, renal failure, sepsis and upper respiratory tract infections, as well as many other medical conditions. He specializes in internal medicine and provides medical care for those 18 and older, with access to highly-skilled specialists at PVH, Cabell Huntington Hospital and Marshall Health. Powell is now accepting new patients at the PVH Medical Office Center at 2414 Jefferson Ave. in Point Pleasant. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 304675-4200.

Everybody donated money or food, and the money will carry me through. Everybody’s government, they’re tightening their belts, just like everybody else.” Weaver said that because of the tightness of money, the organization has lost a few grants, so any donations help.

Bush looms over 2016 GOP field By Steve Peoples and Gary Fineout Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Jeb Bush answered the biggest question looming over the Republican Party’s next campaign for the White House on Tuesday, all but declaring his candidacy for president more than a year before the first primaries. Bush, the son and brother of Republican presidents, is the first potential candidate to step this far into the 2016 contest, and his early announcement could deeply affect the race for the GOP nomination. He is the early favorite of the GOP’s estab- lishment wing, and his move puts immediate pressure on other establishment-minded GOP contenders to start actively competing with him for donors, campaign staff and national attention. The 61-year old former two-term governor of Florida declared on Facebook he would “actively explore the possibility of running for president of the United States.” While his statement doesn’t commit Bush to running, veterans of presidential politics described it as “a de facto announcement” that ends months of speculation about his intentions. Matt Rourke | AP Police search for suspect Bradley William Stone on Tuesday in Pennsburg, Pa. Schools closed and hospitals and other public places tightened security Tuesday as police in suburban Philadelphia hunted for the Marine veteran suspected of killing his ex-wife and five of her relatives. Stone was found dead of self-inflicted knife wounds, ending the 36-hour manhunt. Wanted ex-Marine commits suicide By Maryclaire Dale and Sean Carlin Associated Press PENNSBURG, Pa. — An Iraq War veteran suspected of killing his ex-wife and five of her relatives was found dead of self-inflicted knife wounds Tuesday in the woods, ending a day-and-a-half manhunt that closed suburban Philadelphia schools and left people on edge. Bradley William Stone’s body was discovered a half-mile from his Pennsburg home, about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia. He had cuts in the center of his body, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said. Stone, a 35-year-old former Marine sergeant locked in a custody dispute so bitter that his exwife feared for her life, went on a 90-minute shooting rampage before daybreak Monday at three homes a few miles apart, authorities said. The killings set off the second major manhunt to transfix Pennsylvania in the past few months. Eric Frein spent 48 days at large in the Poconos after the September ambush slaying of a state trooper. As the manhunt dragged on — with SWAT teams swarmed through neighborhoods and the Philadelphia police sending in a heat-sensing helicopter — at least five schools within a few miles of Stone’s Pennsburg home closed, and others were locked down. Veterans’ hospitals and other places tightened security. Ashley Tessier, of Pennsburg, took her sick 7-month-old son to the pediatrician in a stroller Tuesday as SWAT teams knocked on doors along her route. She said she felt she had no choice, since she postponed Monday’s doctor visit because residents were told to take cover. “Seeing all this is really terrifying — the dogs, the guns, the SWAT team,” she said. The rampage unfolded in the towns of Harleysville, Lansdale and Souderton. Stone’s former wife, 33-year-old Nicole Stone, was found dead in her apartment after a neighbor saw Stone fleeing around 5 a.m. with their two young daughters, authorities said. The girls were later found safe with Stone’s neighbors. Police went to two other homes and discovered five more people dead: Nicole Stone’s mother, grandmother, sister, brother-in-law and 14-year-old niece. A 17-year-old nephew suffered wounds to the head and hands, and Ferman said he was in “very serious” condition. Stone and his ex-wife had fighting over their children’s custody since she filed for divorce in 2009. He filed an emergency request for custody this month and was denied on Dec. 9, Ferman said. Neighbors said Nicole Stone lived in such fear of her ex-husband that she would sometimes ask her apartment complex’s maintenance staff to go in and check her place first because she was afraid he might be lying in wait. “He would call and just harass her and threaten her,” said neighbor Michele Brewster. “She shouldn’t have had to live in terror.” “She would tell anybody who would listen that he was going to kill her and that she was really afraid for her life,” said Evan Weron, another neighbor in Harleysville. Stone was probably wearing military fatigues and may have shaved off his facial hair, the district attorney said. She added that he sometimes used a cane or walker. Stone was in the Marines from 2002 to 2008. His specialty was listed as “artillery meteorological man.” Stone told a 2011 child support hearing that Veterans Affairs deemed him permanently disabled and that he was collecting benefits from the agency, according to court documents. The VA had no comment Tuesday. A longtime friend, Matthew Schafte, said he was not aware of any injuries Stone may have suffered as a Marine. Stone had faced several drivingunder-the-influence charges, one of which was handled in veterans’ court and led to a three- to 23-month sentence. He remarried last year, according to his Facebook page and court records, and has an infant son. Neither his wife nor the son was injured. Nicole Stone became engaged over the summer, neighbors said.

Many Democrats along with its path to citizenare convinced Latino voters will ship for the 11 million immiAssociated Press grants in this country illegally. Immigration is certain to be a focus for the new, fully Republican-led Congress when it convenes in January — but there’s little expectation the GOP will make another attempt at comprehensive reforms. Instead, GOP leaders in the House and Senate have pledged to take action to block Obama’s executive moves, setting up a battle for late February when funding expires for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration matters. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has promised action on a border security bill as part of that. Whether Congress can do anything to stop Obama remains unclear, since he’s certain to veto any effort to undo his executive moves. It’s also not clear lawmakers could pass a border bill, or that Obama would sign it if they did. While some congressional Republicans are arguing for action on piecemeal reforms, most advocates are resigned to waiting until a new president takes office in 2017 for lawmakers to make another attempt at a comprehensive overhaul that resolves the central immigration dilemma — the status of the millions here illegally. “They had the best chance in a generation and they couldn’t get enough support from the Repub- lican caucus,” said Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice, an immigrant advocacy group. “It may well be that they’re going to have to lose the White House and both chambers of Congress for us to get comprehensive immigration reform.” When Obama won a second term in 2012 with strong Hispanic and Asian support, many national Republican leaders decided they needed to support policies that would attract those growing blocs of voters. The Republican National Committee formally embraced support for comprehensive immigration reform as a guiding principle for the GOP. �E ditorial 4 Wednesday, December 17, 2014 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Cheap oil hurts Russia more than sanctions Anton Siluanov, Russia’s finance minister, told a gathering last month about the $40 billion that U.S.-led sanctions are costing his country. However, what alarmed him most was Russia’s loss of nearly $100 billion a year that Western policymakers didn’t have to lift a finger to cause. “The main issue that affects the budget and economy and financial system, this is the price of oil and the fall in monetary flows from the sale of energy resources,” Reuters quoted Mr. Siluanov. The price of oil has plunged in recent months, from $115 a barrel in June to less than $65 in recent days. That roughly 40 percent reduction is cutting into Russia’s bottom line, since oil and natural gas make up about two-thirds of the country’s exports. For Russian President Vladimir Putin, the blame for his declining oil fortunes was easy to place, telling the government-owned Russian news agency, TASS, that the decrease “occurs, among other things, because the United States has started to extract shale oil and shale gas.” According to a recent report in the Economist, and largely a result of America’s energy renaissance, “oil production since early 2013 has been running at 1 million to 2 million barrels per day higher than the year before.” North Dakota alone is producing more than 1 million barrels of oil daily from its Bakken Shale formation, turning the state into the country’s second-largest oil producer, after Texas. That boom is pumping $50 million per day into North Dakota’s economy, the North Dakota Petroleum Council estimated. It also has Russia considering a drastic cut in its oil production, by as much as 300,000 barrels a day, to shore up prices, the BBC reported. But while leaving Russia worse off is a pleasing byproduct of market competition, there is more to unfettered market competition and free trade than simply doing our foes harm. Russia would be a far better trading partner, and neighbor, in the case of Ukraine, if it knew that its currently monopolized commodities were readily available elsewhere anytime a stoppage occurred due to Russian-fomented instability or when Moscow simply decides to flex its muscle. The interconnectedness of markets through free trade has repeatedly proved a better motivator for good relations among nations than backing unruly neighbors into the corner using economic sanctions. And while business-stifling sanctions are having a significantly smaller impact, they threaten that interconnectedness, including the $11 billion a year in U.S. exports to Russia. While $11 billion is a thin slice of America’s $2 trillion in exports, the loss is significant to U.S. food and agricultural product producers, for example, which exported $1.3 billion to Russia in 2013. Russia relies on other nations’ need for its oil and natural gas to get its way on the international scene. Free markets and trade is a far greater equalizer than distorting those ties through sanctions. Reprinted from the Orange County (Calif.) Register.

It is a boon to agriculture. It reduces the price of plowing and harvesting, and makes fertilizer cheaper. All of this is in keeping with the great truth that cheap, abundant energy has always contributed immeasurably to American prosperity. That makes it all the more perverse that the left wants to make energy more expensive in its war on fossil fuels, push for ever-more-stringent environmental regulations and quixotic campaign against global warming. Environmentalists rue that the decline in energy prices makes alternative energy even more uneconomical. According to the Institute for Energy Research, “Nearly every barrel of new U.S. oil production can be attributed to the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies.” The left hates fracking and would love, if it could, to hamstring it. The Obama administration is pushing new regulations on everything from coal-fired power plants to, perhaps soon, methane. If it had its way, it would impose a tax on carbon, and it wants to lead the world in restricting the use of fossil fuels in the name of combating climate change. The assumption of the administration has always been that fossil fuels represent the past, when they are, in reality, powering the American economy into the future. “Drill, baby, drill” indeed.

My dream has been killed.” One of the wounded students, Abdullah Jamal, said he was with a group of eighth, ninth and 10th graders who were getting first-aid instructions and training with a team of army medics when the violence became real. Panic broke out when the shooting began. “I saw children falling down who were crying and screaming. I also fell down. I learned later that I have got a bullet,” he said, speaking from his hospital bed. Another student, Amir Mateen, said they locked the door from the inside when they heard the shooting, but gunmen blasted through anyway and opened fire. Responding to the attack, armored personnel carriers were deployed around the school, and a military helicopter circled overhead. A little more than 1,000 students and staff were registered at the school, which is part of a network run by the military, although the surrounding area is not heavily fortified. The student body is made up of both children of military personnel as well as civilians. Most of the students appeared to be civilians rather than children of army staff, said Javed Khan, a government official. Analysts said the militants likely targeted the school because of its military connections. “It’s a kind of a message that ‘we can also kill your children,’” said Pakistani analyst Zahid Hussain. In a statement to reporters, Taliban spokesman Mohammed Khurasani claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was retribution for the military’s operation in nearby North Waziristan, the northwestern tribal region Vatican offers olive branch bers.

Member SIPC. Mohammad Sajjad | AP The uncle and cousin of injured student Mohammad Baqair, center, comfort him as he mourns the death of his mother who was a teacher at the school which was attacked by Taliban, in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Tuesday. Taliban gunmen stormed a military-run school in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar on Tuesday, killing more than 100, officials said. where the group’s fighters largely have been based. “We targeted their kids so that they could know how it feels when they hit our kids,” Khurasani said. He said the attackers were advised not to target “underage” children but did not elaborate on what that meant. In its offensive, the military said it would go after all militant groups operating in the region. Security officials and civilians feared retribution by militants, but Pakistan has been relatively calm. The attack raised the issue of whether this was the last gasp of a militant group crippled by a government offensive or whether the militants could regroup. Hussain, the Pakistani analyst, called the attack an “act of desperation.” The violence will throw public support behind the campaign in North Waziristan, he said. It also shows that the Pakistani Taliban still maintains a strong intelligence network and remains a threat. The attack drew swift condemnation from around the world. U.S. President Barack Obama said the “terrorists have once again showed their depravity.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry added: “The images are absolutely gut-wrenching: young children carried away in ambulances, a teacher burned alive in front of the students, a house of learning turned into a house of unspeakable horror.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, Pakistan’s longtime regional rival, called it “a senseless act of unspeakable brutality.” “My heart goes out to everyone who lost their loved ones today. We share their pain & offer our deepest condolences,” Modi said in a series of tweeted statements. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said it was a “an act of horror and rank cowardice to attack defenseless children while they learn.” The violence recalled the attack on Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman outside her school in the Swat Valley for daring to speak up about girls’ rights. She survived to become a global advocate for girls’ education and received her Nobel Peace Prize last week, but has not returned to Pakistan in the two years since the shooting out of security concerns. “Innocent children in their school have no place in horror such as this,” the 17-year-old said. “I condemn these atrocious and cowardly acts.” For the best local weather coverage, visit www.mydailysentinel.com �Sports Daily Sentinel Wednesday, December 17, 2014 s Page 6 Blue Angels pound Point Pleasant, 70-24 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — Complete dominance.

WEDNESDAY EVENING 40 (DISC) THE DAILY SENTINEL when it faces Doane (Neb.) College in the opening round of the Daytona Beach Shootout in Daytona Beach, Fla. BIDWELL, Ohio — After an 0-3 start to the season, the River Valley girls basketball team picked up its second straight victory Monday night following a convincing 66-29 rout of visiting Wellston in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division matchup in Gallia County. The Lady Raiders (2-3, 2-1 TVC Ohio) hit 11 of their 30 field goals in the opening canto, as the hosts stormed out to a sizable 23-10 first quarter advantage and never looked back. The Lady Rockets (2-3, 0-3) put together a small 12-10 run in the second period to close to within 33-22 at the break, but the Blue and Gold were never closer the rest of the way. RVHS held Wellston to just three field goals and seven total points in the second half, which included a 23-3 surge in the third period — allowing the Silver and Black to take a commanding 56-25 advantage into the finale. The Lady Raiders closed regulation with a 10-4 run to wrap up the 37-point triumph. River Valley had seven players reach the scoring column, led by Chelsea Copley with 17 points. Courtney Smith was next with 12 points, followed by Rachael Smith with 11 points and Shelby Brown with eight markers. Erin Jackson, Tiana Qualls and Leia Moore rounded out the winning tally with six points apiece. The hosts were 3-of-5 at the free throw line for 60 percent. Lexi Hopkins paced Wellston with a game-high 22 points, which included six trifectas and 20 points in the first half. Brittany Johnson was next with four points, while Lauren Riepenhoff and Jaci Jeffers respectively rounded things out with two points and one point. The Lady Rockets were 3-of-7 at the charity stripe for 43 percent and netted only 10 field goals, six of which were three-pointers. River Valley is now a perfect 2-0 in home contests this winter. 57 (OXY) 58 60 61 (WE) (E!)
