FAIRMONT – No votes have yet been
cast in the general election, but it’s already
crunch time in the Marion County Clerk’s
office.
The voting department in the office is cur-
rently filing applications for absentee ballots
and for those in need of early voting, which
are coming in at a high rate, much like they
did before the primary election.

BY BARBARA QUINN
THE MONTEREY COUNTY
HERALD (TNS)
I tend to have a pumpkin
obsession this time of year.
And it’s fueled by all the
products from pumpkin
bagels to body cream that are
marketed in autumn. Nutri-
tionally, pumpkin is a sea-
sonal vegetable; it reaches its
peak ripeness for harvest in
these cooler days. Other pro-
duce abundant in the fall in-
cludes apples, beets and
sweet potatoes.
Some carb-phobics mis-
takenly think they should
avoid these foods because
they contain carbohydrates.
Here are some reasons why
nutrition experts disagree with
that thinking:
Pumpkins: Put ’em on
your porch and they instantly
improve your mood. Harvest
and roast the seeds for a pro-
tein- and fiber-rich source of
healthful fats. Scoop out the
orange flesh and add it to
soups and smoothies for a hit
of beta carotene and vitamins
C and E — potent antioxi-
dants that protect us from the
ravages of aging before our
time. One-half cup of pump-
kin puree contains just 25
calories and 5 grams of carbo-
hydrate of which almost half
is in the form of gut beneficial
dietary fiber.
Beets: A few facts about
this misunderstood root veg-
etable: Beets are classified as
non-starchy vegetables,
meaning they are low in carbs
and relatively high in fiber.
We can safely eat every part
of the beet — from its dark
red root to its dark leafy
greens. Beets are naturally
rich in nitrates, but don’t let
that scare you. Nitrates con-
vert in the body to nitric
oxide, a compound that
keeps blood vessels flexible
and may help control blood
pressure. Roast them in a hot
oven (yum!) or shred them
raw and add to your fall sal-
ads. Saute’ the greens for a
quick and fiber-rich side
dish.
Sweet potatoes: If you
ever wanted a healthful
source of energy replenish-
ment for these cool days of
fall, here it is. Orange flesh
indicates a rich source of
beta carotene — a cell-pro-
tective compound that con-
verts in the body to vitamin
A, a nutrient essential for
good vision and immune
function. One medium sweet
potato has about 24 grams of
carbohydrates, 3 grams of
which are dietary fiber that
feeds the good bugs in our
guts that fight the bad guys
and help keep us well. Sweet
potatoes are a nutrient-dense
food because they pack a
host of nutrients, including
potassium (important for
blood pressure control), cal-
cium and vitamin C in just
100 calories for a medium
baked potato.
Apples: Don’t pass up this
seasonal favorite, especially
if you can pick ‘em right off
the tree. Cut up a few slices
of apple instead of that after-
noon candy bar and enrich
your brain with quercetin —
an antioxidant found to help
sharpen memory and learn-
ing. Yay! Apples are also a
fair source of vitamin C and
a good source of dietary fiber
— more than 4 grams in a
medium apple.
Oh, and don’t forget the
pumpkin body butter found
in some stores this season.
It’s not edible but definitely
feeds a pumpkin obsession.

Supreme Court justice who
says trips he took using a

The 37th season of the

Society opens on Sunday,
Oct. 14 at 3 p.m. at St. Peter
the Fisherman Church in
Fairmont with the return of
Sonic Escape. The brilliant
flute and violin duo thrilled

The violinist and composer
Maria Kaneko Millar and
Shawn Wyckoff, flutist, are

Loughry “was elected to be
a public servant,” Assistant
U.S. Attorney Greg McVey
told jurors during closing ar-
guments. “He did not do that.
Instead, he wanted to become
its master. He stole from the
state. And when things got
hot, he flat-out lied.”
McVey detailed separate
trips Loughry took during the
Thanksgiving and Christmas
holiday periods along with
book signings at The Green-
brier resort. McVey noted
some gas receipts show
Loughry filling up the car’s
gas tank on separate occasions
only a few hours apart at the

went into.

handle registering people to

Kincaid explained that
early voting can be com-

“Sirena Solutions is new,
and it was designed to be a so-

Coomes said. “I know a lot of
residents have been concerned
about it, they feel like it’s
going to bring crime and it’s
going to increase traffic.”
Addressing these con-
cerns, Coomes mentioned

Tickets for the concert are

Price said there has been an
issue with water infiltration
from multiple sources at East

before the school even

reasonable doubt.
The state House of Dele-

three other justices in August
over questions involving lav-

evolved into accusations of
corruption, incompetence and
neglect of duty.
Loughry wrote a 2006 book

He was replaced as chief jus-

justices received another sub-
poena and found out about the
first one.
One of the counts against
Loughry, witness tampering,
was related to a meeting he
had with Kim Ellis, the court’s
director of administrative
services. Loughry and Ellis
had met to discuss the
$350,000 cost of his office
renovation. Prosecutors say
Loughry had reason to be-

vestigation was forthcoming

ployee and “plant a false nar-
rative” about their
chine and it’s just touch-
screen voting like we’ve al-
ways had in the past.”
Absentee ballots are also
an alternative for regular
day-of voting, meant for in-
dividuals who are or will be
away from his or her polling
station on Nov. 6, or who
cannot make it to the
precinct.
“Absentees we try to re-
serve specifically for people
who are traveling and com-
pletely unable to participate
in early voting,” Kincaid
said. “For those who are
home-bound, ill because of
distribution locations.
These prescriptions also
are not conducive to illicit
use, as rather than give a
high, they reduce withdrawal
symptoms that remove an in-
dividual’s ability to feel nor-
mal.
“They just want to feel
normal, that’s why they’re
taking opioids,” Coomes
said. “So Suboxone just
makes them feel normal and
prevents them from going
into withdrawal symptoms;
that’s my goal.”

A theme throughout the
trial was about Loughry tak-

chambers to use, without per-
mission, as part of his home
office. He returned the items
last year after media inquiries
about them.
The indictment says
Loughry lied to federal inves-
tigators by saying he was un-
aware about the historical
significance and value of the
state-owned desk. Loughry
testified he thought it was an
old desk, but former Justice
Brent Benjamin testified last
week Loughry knew about
the desk’s history and that

Kincaid sees these options
for voting as a way for indi-
viduals to participate in their
civic duty in a manner that is
easy and convenient, as many
are unable on election day
for varying reasons.
“It’s a matter of conven-
ience for a lot of people,”
the symptoms of withdrawal
will be greatly reduced over
treatment time.
While Coomes doesn’t
know of a solution to keep
people off opiates and
painkillers in the first place,
he said the first step would
be lowering the prescription
size or finding alternatives to
pain relief.
“Pharmaceutical compa-
nies need to look out at what
they’re prescribing as well,”
Coomes said. “It’s a huge
problem all across the board,
but as a physician, I can just
do my part.”

Former Supreme Court ad-
ministrator Steve Canterbury
also testified Loughry was al-
lowed to have a computer and
a printer, but the term “home
office” and the desk were
never discussed.
Carr, Loughry’s attorney,
told jurors Wednesday some
witnesses incorrectly remem-
bered conversations they had
with Loughry — or lied alto-
gether.
Loughry faces an impeach-
ment trial before the state
Senate next month. Justice
Beth Walker was cleared last
week. Justice Margaret Work-

Davis face similar trials this
month.

Congress
agrees on
fighting
scourge of
opioid abuse
In this age of partisan bickering in
Washington, we’re pleased to spotlight
rays of bipartisan congressional coop-
eration on a national crisis: opioid
abuse.
After months of hard work, much of
it led by U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess,
R-Texas, and Texas GOP Sen. John
Cornyn, a comprehensive bill to ad-
dress the medical and social scourge of
opioid addiction lacks only Donald
Trump’s signature to become law. The
president, who declared opioid addic-
tion a national emergency, is expected
to sign the bill, providing new weapons
to curtail an epidemic that has shat-
tered families and communities.
The measure, which passed the
House and Senate by overwhelming bi-
partisan margins, would make it easier
for first responders to obtain naloxone,
an anti-overdose treatment, and would
increase research into non-opioid pain
treatment as an alternative to legally
prescribed but addictive opioids. The
bill also offers greater support for treat-
ment programs and drug courts, and
steps up law enforcement resources to
prevent fentanyl and other deadly syn-
thetic drugs from coming into the
United States.
Opioid addiction is such a wide-
spread problem that congressional ac-
tion is a strong first step but,
unfortunately, not a complete solution.
Opioid deaths are higher than the peak
yearly death totals from car crashes or
gun violence. Nationally, opioid-re-
lated overdoses occurred at 116 per day
in 2016 — five times the rate in 1999,
according to the U.S. Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention.
Congress needs to stay on top of opi-
oid abuse and be prepared to tweak or
expand strategies as the crisis evolves
and to provide additional dollars in
other budget cycles. The Congressional
Budget Office estimates the bill could
cost $8 billion over five years, a frac-
tion of the tens of billions that addic-
tion experts say is needed for treatment
and other intervention. A landmark re-
port from the surgeon general two
years ago concluded that only about 28
percent of people with an opioid prob-
lem receive specialty treatment.
The good news is that Democrats
and Republicans found common
ground on many issues and didn’t let
the perfect be the enemy of the good.
For now, we’ll call that a big win.

Support for
Senator Beach
As the Nov. 6 election quickly
approaches, hopefully all voters
will cast their ballots for respect,
civility, truthfulness and common
sense and for candidates who pos-
sess those qualities. One such can-
didate is Robert (Bob) Beach,
who has served the citizens in the
13th Senatorial District for the
past eight years and is seeking re-
election. Senator Beach truly rep-
resents, not only his constituents,
but all West Virginians in the State
Senate. He represents both Mar-
ion and Monongalia counties and
works well with Marion County’s
senior senator, Roman Prezioso -
another conscientious and hard-
working legislator. Senator Beach
is the “real deal” when it comes to
addressing the concerns of work-
ing families in West Virginia and
his “door is always open” to any-
one who wants to speak with him
about their issues.
I have first-hand knowledge of
Bob’s commitment to the issues
important to all of us. As a teacher,
now retired, I, like thousands who
participated in the 2018 teachers
strike, went to Charleston, rallied,
lobbied and spoke personally with
It’s not the slur, it’s the stupidity
For somebody like me, the
Major League Baseball playoffs
serve as a splendid diversion from
the squalor of partisan politics.
For serious fans, the drama of an
October Red Sox-Yankees series
provides the kind of emotional re-
lease others derive from a night at
the symphony or a hike through a
national park.
Escapist? You bet.
But they won’t let you escape,
the nation’s influential cadre of
humorless racial grievance spe-
cialists. So it was that the New
York Daily News delivered the
following sports headline: “Ron
Darling uses slur in reference to
Masahiro Tanaka on TBS broad-
cast of Yankees/Red Sox Game
2.” Here’s what happened:
Tanaka, the brilliant Yankees
pitcher, was making Red Sox hit-
ters look futile. (In my opinion,
he’s the best they’ve got.) Up in
the broadcast booth, Darling, the
former Mets pitcher doing com-
mentary for TBS, thought he de-
tected a lessening of Tanaka’s
pinpoint control. Lacking over-
powering stuff, i.e. velocity and
movement, Tanaka needs precise
location to be effective.
“Chink in the armor for Tanaka
here,” the announcer said. “It’s the
first inning he has lost a little of
his control.”
Whoop, whoop, whoop! Clang,
clang, clang!
Racial grievance monitors at
the Daily News, Yahoo Sports and
a few other media outlets signaled
a red alert. An opportunity pre-
sented itself to wreck the an-
nouncer’s career with an absurd
allegation of bigotry.
To the Daily News, Darling’s
“boneheaded comment” was only
made worse because the an-
nouncer “did not appear to realize
that he had used the slur in refer-
ence to Tanaka, who is Asian.”
Actually, it’s the cliche alarms
that should have gone off. Like
every phrase I’ve used to describe
Tanaka’s performance — “pin-

fought for competitive salaries,

nothing is more important than
voting for a candidate who re-

point control,” “overpowering
stuff” — the expression “chink in
the armor” is a familiar sports ex-
pression. Maybe it’s possible to
describe an entire baseball game
in witty, original phrases, but I
don’t believe I’ve heard it done.
Indeed, the very familiarity of
baseball jargon is part of its ap-
peal. Everybody knows what it
means. Except the aforemen-
tioned grievance specialists. So
let’s go to the dictionary, shall we?
The word “chink” is defined as “a
crack, cleft or fissure,” such as “a
chink in a wall.” It is derived from
Old Norse. The phrase “chink in
the armor” to describe vulnerabil-
ity dates to the 17th century. It’s
what George Orwell called a
“dead metaphor” — that is, one
whose original vividness faded
after knights quit wearing suits of
armor.
Alas, “chink” has in latter days
evolved into a homonym. That is a
word spelled and/or pronounced
the same with divergent meanings
— “horse/hoarse,” “deer/dear” or
“clink,” which is both a noise and
a jail cell. Context is all. English
seems to have more of them than
any other language.
The other meaning of “chink”
is, of course, offensive — a
derogatory reference to a Chinese
person dating to the late 19th cen-
tury in America, and probably de-
rived from the Chinese language
itself, as in the Ch’ing dynasty.
OK, enough pedantry. In con-
text, what Darling, himself an ex-
cellent pitcher for the New York
Mets back in the day, was saying
— and ALL he was saying — was
that Tanaka appeared to be tiring,
and that if his precise control fal-

tered, the Red Sox might light him
up. Nothing more or less.
Any other reading is both per-
verse and malicious. Because
here’s the rest of the story: Tanaka
isn’t just “Asian,” he’s Japanese.
The best pitcher the Tohoku
Rakuten Golden Eagles ever had.
He once won 26 consecutive
games in the Nippon Pacific
League. Calling him a “chink”
would be like calling an English-
man a “frog.”
As somebody who grew up in
the shadow of World War II, I cer-
tainly heard anti-Japanese slurs in
my youth. But “chink,” as one of
my Arkansas country boy friends
likes to say? “Not never one
time.” It gets worse. You see, the
imaginary bigot Darling is himself
of racially mixed heritage. Specif-
ically, he was born in Honolulu to
a mother of Hawaiian/Chinese de-
scent. His father was French
Canadian. You’d have to think
he’d be just about the last guy in
the broadcast booth to use an anti-
Asian slur.
Nevertheless, and probably
wisely under the circumstances,
Darling, a Yale graduate who has
written actual books, took the easy
way out. He apologized. “Earlier
(Saturday night),” he said in a
statement to Yahoo Sports, “I used
an expression while referencing
Masahiro Tanaka’s recent pitching
performance. While unintentional,
I apologize for my choice of
words.”
Now me, I’d have wanted to
confront the fake-outrage machine
over something so egregiously
stupid. Darling, however, does
baseball. To him, it’s the Red Sox-
Yankees series that’s important.
Why risk professional suicide to
defend an aged sports cliche?
This has happened before.
ESPN once fired somebody for
using the phrase with reference to
Chinese-American NBA player
Jeremy Lin.
And every time it happens, a
few more guys vote Republican.

Democrats,
keep cool
and calm
Americans are hurting as their
country descends into dysfunc-
tion, polarization and wide-
spread anger. Democrats are
feeling an extra dose of despair
with the elevation of the intem-
perate and partisan Brett Ka-
vanaugh to the Supreme Court.
But Democrats can make up
lost ground — if they’re smart.
If they’re smart, they’ll proceed
in a cool, calm and controlled
manner. The electorate outside
the Trump base is a lot bigger
than the Trump base. Donald
Trump’s crashing approval num-
bers in the middle of a strong
economy reflect a public upset
by the chaos, cruelty and unbri-
dled nastiness. The U.S. has its
disputes, even with allies, but
only the inmates from crazytown
would heap abuse on Canada.
Most Americans pine for nor-
mal leadership. That’s what De-
mocrats must offer. The enraged
ones on the left will not help the
cause by aping the uncouth right.
The Trump camp lives for con-
flict with you. Don’t reward it by
rising to the bait.
Stop accosting Republicans in
elevators and restaurants. That
only generates sympathy for the
targets. It blurs the distinction
between you and them.
Stop threatening impeachment
of Trump and new investigations
into Kavanaugh. Visions of more
disruption scare moderates and
excite the Trump base. Should
you win the House, there will be
plenty of things to investigate,
and then you must choose those
battles carefully.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., had
it right in Iowa: “We’re not de-
fined ... in this state by Republi-
cans in power; we’re defined by
how we respond.” When he then
remarked that he has “nothing
personal against the president,”
Booker wasn’t surrendering. He
was brushing Trump aside.
What would effective an
protest look like? It would look
like the women’s marches in
2017. They were peaceful, dig-
nified and even positive in their
camaraderie. Nearly a half-mil-
lion people marched in Wash-
ington alone. Those are serious
numbers.
Here are some of the reassur-
ing Democratic faces: Joe Biden,
Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware
and Rep. Adam Schiff of Cali-
fornia. Throw in former New
York Mayor Mike Bloomberg,
an independent. They all offer a
sober presence, sharp intelli-
gence and an unwillingness to go
partisan for going partisan’s
sake.
Sexual misconduct is a potent
issue, but not one that should be
leading the Democratic parade.
(Please confine your obsession
with the white male patriarchy to
sociology class. You wouldn’t
stereotype anyone else that way.)
If Trump feasts on the anxi-
eties of working-class whites,
what’s the best response? Wel-
come these voters and say,
Here’s why you belong with us:
We will stop Republicans
from destroying your hard-won
health care security. They’re
even going after protections for
pre-existing conditions. It’s that
bad.
The reckless tax cuts barely
budged your wages. What they
did do — besides enriching the
already rich — is explode the
deficit. The right will exploit
rampaging deficits to attack
Medicare and Social Security.
You can set your watch by it.
Democrats, you have reason
for optimism. Never forget that
Hillary Clinton got nearly 3 mil-
lion more votes than Trump.
That happened despite a tsunami
of setbacks.

Actions, not
numbers,
reflect the spirit
of competition
RACHEL — Sometimes, I forget
what it feels like to just watch a
game.
As a spectator, you don’t have to
analyze the game. You don’t have to
dig into why a team lost or why a
team won. You can just enjoy the
sport purely because it’s a sport.
I felt like this on Tuesday night
watching the North Marion-Fairmont
Senior girls’ soccer game.
For context, Tuesdays are — gen-
erally — my days off. On Tuesdays, I
don’t have to worry about making
deadline, I don’t have to worry about
trying to find an angle from which to
write a game story — I get to spend
the entire day and night holed up in
my room doing absolutely nothing.
But this past Tuesday, I decided to
go to soccer games in Fairmont. And
what a great decision that turned out
to be.
The first game I watched was the
East Fairmont boys dominating Lib-
erty at East-West Stadium. But, while
the Bees were fantastic on the field,
the game bored me.
It shouldn’t have, but I went into
the game already knowing the out-
come, as it was just a matter of who
scored which of the nine goals in that
shutout. There were no stakes, and
there was no question of who was
going to emerge with the victory. I
felt no intensity from the players or
the spectators, and therefore the game
was not exciting to me in the least.
I wrote the preview for the girls’
game, and I’d already decided to split
my time between the two to remain
fair.
I went into that game as a spectator
not knowing who was going to win,
but knowing it was going to be an all-
out battle between the two teams. Not
only was the game an intercounty ri-
valry game, but the game was also
the game that decided the sectional
seeding.
These were high stakes, and the
tension between the Lady Polar Bears
and the Lady Huskies — on the field
between the players and in the stands
between the fans — was palpable.
You could taste it in the crisp, fall air.
So, I sat alone and watched. And
had a minor heart-attack. And moved
to the edge of the bleacher. And held
my head in my hands. And covered
my eyes at times.
I was a neutral supporter — which
is why I wore white — and the only
vested interest I had in the game was
that it had two Marion County teams
playing.

FIGHTINGFALCONS.COM
Fairmont State University joins the state of
West Virginia in mourning the loss of a Fal-
con legend, men’s basketball coach Joe Ret-
ton. As the namesake for the Fairmont State
basketball arena and a beloved member of the
Falcon community, news of his passing on
Wednesday morning brought a deep sense of
loss to the entire campus.
Retton was head men’s basketball coach
for the Falcons from 1963-82, compiling a
record of 478-95 in his 19 seasons on the Fair-
mont State bench. During his tenure, Retton
led the Falcons to 12 West Virginia Confer-
ence regular season titles and eight tourna-
ment championships.
“The excellence that Coach Retton demon-
strated on the court and off the court perme-
ates the halls of our University,” said
Fairmont State President Dr. Mirta M. Martin.
“The Falcon family grieves with the Retton
family for the tremendous loss of a legend.”
Retton earned numerous coach of the year
honors during his time at Fairmont State, in-
cluding twice as NAIANational Coach of the

BY BRADLEY HELTZEL
TIMES WEST VIRGINIAN
FAIRMONT — It’s been a try-
ing season for the East Fairmont
Bees under the Friday night lights.
Today, they’ll try to reverse their
fortunes under the rare Thursday
night lights as the Bees (0-6) host
Liberty (3-3) at 7 p.m. at East-
West Stadium.
“When you have a young team
and every single day you’re
spending so much time — proba-
bly at least 40 percent — of your
practice on some of the minute de-
tails and fundamentals, when you
lose a whole day, it makes it a lot
tougher to prep for plays based on
how teams lineup and certain ten-
dencies,” EFHS coach Wes Eddy
said of the Thursday matchup.
“But when you don’t have your
own stadium, you’re at the mercy
of people who schedule games.
“I just hate losing reps with
these younger, inexperienced
kids.”
EFHS enters tonight’s contest
coming off a 55-14 road loss to
Philip Barbour last week. It was
just the second win of the season
for the Colts, the other ironically
coming against the Mountaineers
at home in Week 4, 27-21. Lib-
erty, meanwhile, was on bye last EFHS quarterback Luke Pollock (24) lines up behind center

Year (1969, 1976). He also earnedAssociated
Press Small College Coach of the Year in
1976, and was a six-time WVIAC Coach of
the Year.
Retton is a 1987 inductee into the NAIA
Hall of Fame, and was also selected to the
West Virginia Sports Writers Hall of Fame in
1988. He was inducted into Fairmont State’s
inaugural Athletics Hall of Fame class in
1993.
“We are deeply saddened by the news of
Fairmont State legend Joe Retton’s passing,”
said Acting Director of Athletics Chad
Fowler. “The rich basketball tradition at Fair-
mont State began during Joe’s time as head
coach of our men’s basketball program.
“His record and honors on the court are
just a small part of what Joe means to the en-
tire Fairmont State community,” Fowler
continued. “But, the relationships he has
formed with players, administrators and the
community is what makes today’s news so
difficult.
“We grieve with the Retton family during
this difficult time and hope that Joe’s legacy
will live on as a legendary part of sports his-
tory at Fairmont State University.”

WVU offense
spreading the
aerial wealth
MORGANTOWN — You may
have noticed, as this season has devel-
oped and West Virginia has rolled
through five opponents to become the
last undefeated team in the Big 12,
that quarterback Will Grier’s menu of
receivers has expanded far beyond
where it was last season.
WVU has certainly spread the
wealth this season in its passing game.
Last year, which was a big first year
for Grier before his injury, he threw
TDs to only five different receivers.
Through just five games this year
he has hit 10 different players with
touchdown passes.
What has happened?
It sounds like a simple question but
the answer is a bit more complex.
“Last year we had Ka’Ruan
(White), Gary (Jennings) and David
(Sills) (play) about 95 percent of the
time,” coach Dana Holgorsen noted.
“(This season) it’s the emergence of
Marcus (Simms), it’s T.J. (Simmons)
being eligible, it’s backup receivers
doing a better job and maturing and
playing better, and then it’s getting our
running backs involved as well.
“That’s probably the biggest differ-
ence (from last season), scheme-wise,
is they have to account for those
backs.”
It goes beyond that, though. You
have Sills and Jennings and Grier all
working together in the system for a
second year with Grier’s confidence
having been won over by Simms and
Simmons, to say nothing of the backs
and — yes — tight ends.
In fact, in last week’s victory over
Kansas, Grier threw touchdown
passes to four different players and
only one of them was a wide receiver,
David Sills. Two went to running
backs Leddie Brown and Martell Pett-
away and another to tight end Jovani
Haskins.
And, just so Kansas didn’t feel left
out, he also threw three passes to Jay-
hawks in the end zone ... but those
were interceptions and you hear no
one bragging on them around the
Puskar Center this week.

It is Shazier’s way of stay-
ing connected to the game
even as he continues his long
and inspiring recovery from
that frightening moment last
December when the Pro
Bowler lowered his helmet to
hit Bengals wide receiver Josh
Malone late in the first quar-
ter, a play that ended with
Shazier clutching his lower
back in agony while players
knelt around him in prayer
and Paul Brown Stadium feel
eerily silent.
Ten months later, the sight
of Shazier being taken off the
field on a stretcher before
being placed in an ambulance
remains fresh as the Steelers
(2-2-1) brace themselves for
their annual visit to Cincinnati
(4-1) on Sunday.
“It was just a really weird
feeling after that happened,”
Pittsburgh linebacker L.J. Fort
said. “You’d make a good
play but nobody was really
jumping around or was ex-
cited or anything like that, so
it was really sobering moment
and brought to the forefront
that football is not the most
important thing in life.”
Playing amid a mixture of
fear for their friend and uncer-
tainty over Shazier’s status,
the Steelers rallied for a 23-20
victory .
Asked how they managed
to recover emotionally in time
to put together a stirring rally,
they’re still not sure. In the
immediate aftermath of
Shazier’s injury there was
only chaos and confusion.
Outside linebacker Bud
Dupree admitted he and in-
side linebacker Vince
Williams — two of
Shazier’s closest friends on
the team — were under the
impression Shazier had been
blindsided by a member of
the Bengals. The two spent
the rest of the first half look-
ing for revenge.
“We were just walking
around trying (to hit) the
first person we see,” Dupree
said. “We weren’t worried
about football. We wanted to
take up for our brother.”
In the end, it’s Shazier
who has taken up for his
teammates.
Though the 26-year-old
remains open to the possibil-
ity of playing again — he’s
able to get around the prac-
tice field without assistance
these days and his practice
clothes remain hanging in
his locker much as they have
been before he got hurt —
he’s intent on helping in
other ways.
His mere presence pro-
vides an emotional lift, but
Shazier is intent on being
something far beyond an
avatar for inspiration. He’s
become a go-between of
sorts between the coaching
staff and the defense. He can
cut through the clutter and
deliver some “real talk”
when necessary.
During last Sunday’s 41-
17 romp over Atlanta,
Shazier sat on the bench
with a tablet in hand. After
every series the inside line-
backers would crowd around
him looking for instruction
and insight. Shazier would
offer words of encourage-
ment when necessary or tips
on how to avoid mistakes.
“Since he’s not playing,
his mental part of the game
is so great,” Dupree said.
“He shares a lot of stuff with
us. He lets us know stuff
ahead of time before the
coaches even tell us. We al-
ready know it. It keeps us on
our toes.”
And it keeps Shazier en-
gaged. There remains no
timetable for when he will
make a decision on whether
returning to play is feasible.
There’s so much going on in
his life — from his physical
recovery to his new role with
the team to becoming a fa-
ther for a second time — it
hardly matters.
Football remains an inte-
gral part of his plan no mat-
ter how his physical
recovery goes. When asked
if he believes Shazier could

whenever his playing career
ends, linebacker Tyler
Matakevich nods enthusias-
tically.
“You look at him, what
he’s been through, how he’s
handled it combined with his
love for the game and his
mind for the game, it’s
amazing,” Matakevich said.
“It hasn’t changed him. He’s
been the same guy since the
day I got here.”
And in a way, Pittsburgh
is counting on it. Shazier
will be back on the turf in
Cincinnati with the rest of
the team on Sunday after-
noon as the Steelers look for
their first winning streak of
the season. When the de-
fense runs onto the field,
he’ll linger behind, a feeling
that will probably never
truly feel normal.
Yet if this is the best way
for him to contribute, he’ll
take it. So will the team-
mates who have come to
rely on him in so many
ways.
“The only time he really
doesn’t come is when he’s
tired from rehab,” Dupree
said. “You see him on the
sideline. He’s active at prac-
tice. In the meetings. Never
sleeping. Attacking every
day like he’s still here.”

NASCAR: Jimmie Johnson, Chad

Knaus to split after 17 years
BY JENNA FRYER
APAUTO RACING WRITER
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
There will not be an eighth
NASCAR title for Jimmie
Johnson and Chad Knaus.
Hendrick Motorsports will
split the driver and crew chief
— the longest pairing in
NASCAR — at the end of a
disappointing season. John-
son has not won a race in 17
months and was knocked out
of the playoffs in the first
round. Johnson and Knaus
won their record-tying sev-
enth championship in 2016
but have slumped in the two
years since.
“It’s no secret that Chad
and Jimmie have experienced
their ups and downs over the
years,” owner Rick Hendrick
said. “They’re fierce competi-
tors, great friends and have
immense respect for one an-
other. They also fight like
brothers. All three of us agree
it’s finally time for new chal-
lenges and that a change will
benefit them and the organi-
zation.”
Johnson and Knaus were
partnered in 2002 when
Knaus built the No. 48 team
as part of a Hendrick expan-
sion. They won a record-tying
seven titles and made the
playoffs in all 15 years of its
existence.
There has sometimes been
tension between the two, and
Hendrick more than once
considered splitting them for
the good of the organization.
The time finally came
Wednesday in a personnel
shakeup announced by the re-
building organization.
“Chad and Jimmie will go
down as one of the greatest
combinations in sports his-
tory,” Hendrick said. “They
defied the odds by performing
at a championship level for
longer than anyone could’ve
possibly imagined. What
they’ve accomplished to-
gether has been absolutely re-
markable and will be
celebrated for generations.
This has been an incredible,
storybook run.”
The changes Hendrick will
implement next season brings
back former employee Kevin
Meendering to the organiza-
tion to partner with Johnson.
Meendering spent 16 years
with Hendrick beginning with
a high-school internship in the
chassis department. His last
three seasons have been at JR
Motorsports, a Hendrick affil-
iate, as crew chief for Elliott
Sadler.
Hendrick called Meender-
ing one of the “most sought-
after talents in the garage” and
said he’ll be ready to take
over the No. 48 team on his
first day.
“He’s a respected, forward-
thinking crew chief,” Hen-
drick said. “He’s the right fit
for Jimmie at the right time.
With an established No. 48
team behind them, I believe
they will perform at a winning
level next season and chase

Knaus started with the No.

1998. Knaus was an integral
part of Jeff Gordon’s 1995
and 1997 Cup titles.

The Denham sisters —
or, the “Dynamic Denham
Duo” as they said they’re
called on the basketball court
— are two years apart, as Kar-
lie is a sophomore and Abbie
is a senior. They also look
slightly different. Karlie has a
higher-pitched voice than
Abbie, and — except for a
single game last year — one is
a forward and the other is the
goalie.
That is where the differences
end.
Both girls are 5-foot-5 with
lean builds, possess long brown
hair, have a similar taste in
music (they will share head-
phones because Karlie has
more music downloaded), and
have a passion for sports.
Teachers and relatives often get
them confused and random
people at the airport ask them if
they’re twins.
It was Karlie, in fact, who re-
cruited Abbie for the soccer
team last year when Karlie was
a freshman. Abbie — who said
she was looking to add a second
sport to her resume — thought
it would be a good idea. Since
that I felt she would enjoy play-
ing,” Karlie said. “Plus, it was
her last two years of playing, so
I wanted to make it special for
her because I knew she would
be good at playing soccer. She
has good hand-eye coordination
from basketball.”
Karlie said there was another
aspect to wanting her sister on
the field with her.
“Another factor was that I
didn’t want her to just sit there
and watch me,” Karlie said. “I
knew if she just sat there and
watched me she would regret
not playing.”
Karlie said that having her
sister on the team, initially, was
weird because she didn’t know
what position Abbie was going
to play. Karlie, however, takes
credit for putting Abbie in the
goal, as it was her suggestion.
“The way she was going,”
Karlie said, “I could tell she
would always pick the ball up
more, or always punt the ball to
someone. I was like, ‘OK,
maybe she should try goalie.’
She’s really good with her
hands, and when she got in
there she just lit it up.”
teams for most of their lives.
They also come from a house-
hold that is heavily into sports,
and it’s not uncommon to see
them drilling for basketball or to
see Karlie practicing her shoot-
ing on Abbie, who can in turn
practice her goal-keeping skills.
It’s not even uncommon,
they said, for them to dribble a
wayward basketball back up a
hill, drive to Husky Stadium to
run on the track together, or for
Karlie to pick up a ball and
throw it at her sister and watch
Abbie dive for it while they’re
just sitting down in the base-
ment. Because they’re sisters,
they want the other to succeed.
“We can’t scrimmage each
other in basketball anymore be-
cause we go hard on each other
to make each other better,”
Abbie said. “Our parents said
we can’t do it anymore because
they don’t want us getting hurt.”
“I’m really hard on her,”
Karlie said. “But, I’m hard on
her because I know what she
can do.”
On the field, although they
focus on the game they’re play-
ing, the sisters will encourage
or getting the ball, and Abbie
said when she punts it to Karlie
she knows her sister will do
whatever she can do to get to
the ball.
“We’re each other’s biggest
supporters,” Abbie said. “We
may not get along sometimes,
but at the end of the day, we’re
still sisters and we’re still com-
petitive, no matter what.”
Before games, the Denham
sisters will still support each
other, and Karlie saidAbbie will
always “pump her up” for
games. Part of the on-field en-
couragement also comes from
trying to find things for the
other — and the rest of the team
— to get better at.
“When we have good games,
we’re still on the positive side,
still supporting each other, and
even good games we’re finding
what we can work on,” Abbie
said. “On games that weren’t so
good, we’re still supporting one
another, trying to keep each
other up, finding things we can
work on. Me, in the back, I can
see the whole field, so me and
my defense we will go to the
offense and say, ‘Hey. This is
effort.”
On Tuesday night, the Den-
ham sisters — and the rest of
the Lady Huskies soccer team
— played their hardest against
Fairmont Senior in a game the
outcome of which was sup-
posed to decide the seeding for
sectionals. The teams tied at
one goal and, that was in part
due to Abbie’s incredible per-
formance in the net for North
Marion.
“It’s always been a value of
mine to play my hardest every
game,” Abbie said. “With it
being senior night, I tried my
hardest not to let my team-
mates down and I knew they
weren’t going to let me down.”
“Super proud,” Karlie said
of her sister’s performance. “I
was so lit. No, legit, I was re-
ally pumped. She did well.”
Before every game, the sis-
ters share a handshake that
Karlie said she made up during
the ride to the field for the
game against Liberty because
she had to make Abbie’s last
year special. Karlie said it’s
something the two will share
through the rest of this season,
uation, Abbie and Karlie are
insistent that Abbie’s presence
on the field will not be forgot-
ten. In the fall, Abbie plans to
attend Fairmont State for nurs-
ing, and Karlie said Abbie has
to come back so and hop the
fence if she gets injured.
Abbie said she decided on
nursing because both her and
Karlie were both born prema-
ture and had to spend time in
the NICU. Abbie said she’s al-
ways been grateful to those
nurses because without them,
neither of the may have been
here, nor would they be as
healthy as they are.
“I love helping people,”
Abbie said. “I love making
people feel better, and it’s just a
passion. I find that’s my best
way to do that.”
While Karlie said she’s not
really sure what she wants to
do yet, she knows if she’ll go
into nursing Abbie will be
there helping her every step of
the way.
“I love her so much,” Abbie
said. “It’s just great being able
to share something that you
love with your sibling.”

It’s been interesting to see
the development of Simms
and Simmons, the Alabama
transfer who stepped up big
time against KU when Simms
slipped after having put to-
gether three consecutive 100-
yard receiving games.
“T.J. probably played the
best out of all of those guys
last week. (He) was pretty
consistent and made some
plays,” Holgorsen said.
“Gary and David do things
that are just routine at this
point and that’s pretty good.
“Marcus had a couple of
games where he played
pretty good. I don’t think he
quite did what we need him
to do last week but T.J. has
been solid. I’ve been pleased
with the backups as well.”
Depth in the receiving
corps has lifted a burden off
the offense, off of Grier, and,
maybe most of all, off Hol-
gorsen.
“There have been plenty of
years when I’ve been sitting
here pulling what hair I have
left out over (our wide re-
ceiver backups),” Holgorsen
admitted.
But the likes of Dominique
Maiden and Tevin Bush have
become touchdown scoring
contributors and there is a
freshman — Sam Jones —
ready to make an impact
now.
And then there’s the tight
ends — Trevon Wesco and
Haskins — both now proven
as receivers.
“The tight ends take one of
wide receivers all the time. It
makes it harder for us to
game plan against when all
of those guys are capable of
making a play,” Holgorsen
said.
The variety and versatility
make life far better for Grier.
“I’m very comfortable
with all of our guys. I think
we have a lot of weapons,
and it’s good to be able to
spread the ball around. All of
these guys can make plays,
and it’s my job to make the
right reads and get us in good
plays and get the ball in their
hands,” Grier said.
“Like I said, I think we’re
doing a lot of things well,
and we’re close to playing
complete games and really
ironing all of this stuff out.
We’re right there. We just
need to make a few more ad-
justments and continue to get
better.”
“You see Will having the
comfort to be able to distrib-
ute the ball like he is right
now,” offensive coordinator
Jake Spavital said. “I don’t
know how many guys are
touching the ball per game,
but it’s a good amount.
That’s what you want to get
to, where when you’re look-
ing at us from a scouting re-
port, there’s a lot of people
across the board getting
touches.”
And then you have option
read routes to wide receivers
that have been breaking open
and it’s almost as if the de-
fense doesn’t have enough
people to cover everyone.

Before every game, a note
from the WVSSAC is read
aloud: “Scores may be forgot-
ten, but actions are remem-
bered.” Or something along
those lines.
It made me think about the
words from Elton Slusser’s
most recent weekly column
about the East Fairmont foot-
ball team and how those boys
continue to play with heart
even though they have not
won a single game this sea-
son. I applied that to this
game, and I was struck by the
truth of those words.
As a society, even as sports
journalists, to some degree we
care more about numbers and
statistics than we do about the
actual game and how it’s
played. While numbers and
statistics are important, as they
are quantifiable ways of deter-
mining who is better and who
needs to work harder and are
important for fostering a com-
petitive spirit that players take
with them into adulthood,
those fade with time as the ac-
tions of the players within the
game and the actions of the
fans in the stands will be
carved into the stone walls of
our memories.
Tuesday night, I watched a
senior goalie who may have
played her last game on that
field stop more than a dozen
shots, including one with her
knee — from a girl who

NASCAR THIS WEEK

TALLADEGA
SPEED FREAKS QUESTIONS &
ATTITUDE
A few questions we had to ask
ourselves Compelling questions... and maybe a
few actual answers
What’s your percentage on
Chase Elliott’s chance to win the
championship?
THREE THINGS TO WATCH W h y didn’t Denny force the issue?

GODSPEAK: Young Chase
improved his standing by win­
ning Dover and advancing.
He moved up to a 50 percent
chance.
KEN’S CALL: He’s running well at
the right time, which kinda tells
me he’ll make the Final Four, at
which point, by my math, he has
a l-in-4 shot. Where’s my calcu­
lator? Got it: 25 percent.
Who’ll be happy to see the Tal­
ladega City Limits sign?
GODSPEAK: Let’s go with Jamie
McMurray, who has no ride in
2019. He is sneaky, restrictor-
plate good, and a Talladega win
would let him exit NASCAR with
a big win.
KEN’S CALL: No doubt, Alex
Bowman. If you only have one
shot to advance in the playoffs,
and that one shot hinges on vic­
tory, you take your chances on a
plate race.
FEUD OF THE WEEK
1. In the hole
Alex Bowman has dug
himself a deep playoff
hole thanks to a 28th-
place finish at Dover. He
is 92 points behind points
leader Kevin Harvick and
34 points below the cut
line for advancing. Car
owner Rick Hendrick has
two drivers in the playoffs,
but only one going into
the Round of 8. “We hope
Alex can get the win down
there,” said Hendrick,
while celebrating with his
Dover winner Chase Elliott.
2. Welcome,
wild-card
While Charlotte Motor
Speedway’s Roval race
has become a wild-card
race of sorts for playoff
contenders, Talladega
Superspeedway will
always be a driver’s worst
nightmare. Eight of the
Let’s start with the obvious. Denny
Hamlin and Chase Elliott have a
history, and in terms of public reac­
tion, Denny’s reputation took a hit.
So when Denny had a shot to stick
his nose in there in Turn 1 at Dover,
on the final restart, he appeared
to back off and let Chase run it
out. That’s understandable in one
respect, but then again, man, that
would’ve been spectacular enter­
tainment if he’d gone ugly on him.
Where is Christopher Bell next
year?
Probably back in Xfinity, though
he has nothing to prove there. It’s
never been just about ability in
auto racing’s pecking order. Often,

mash, but it’s no graveyard smash

Wednesday, Oct. 17 in the Frank and Jane Gabor West
Virginia Folklife Center on the campus of Fairmont
State University, according to a press release from
Fairmont State. The release continues:
Dadisman has been a storyteller for more than 50
years and an active member of the West Virginia Sto-
rytelling Guild, a state-wide organization that pro-
motes both storytelling in the oral tradition and the
preservation and understanding of our mountain cul-
ture. She received the Bob McWhorter “Clock” award
in 2010 for her service to those goals.
A career educator, Dadisman taught many under-
graduate writing classes, both for Potomac State and
WVU, where she served as English 102 and English
103 Coordinator prior to her retirement. She also
served as co-director of the National Writing Project at
WVU and conducted writing workshops for state
teachers. She received the WVU Eberly College Out-
standing Teacher 2011-2012 award prior to retirement.
Since then, Dadisman has conducted a number of writ-
ing workshops for Arthurdale Heritage, Inc. and con-
tinues her love of weaving story and teaching through
storytelling in schools, libraries, parks and festivals.
The ghost story workshop is free and open to the
public.
Kanye West to meet with Trump this week
(TNS) Rapper Kanye West will make a house call
on President Donald Trump on Thursday.
West will have lunch with Trump and adviser (and
son-in-law) Jared Kushner at the White House. They
are set to discuss prison reform, manufacturing, pre-
venting gang violence and reducing violence in West’s
hometown of Chicago, White House press secretary
Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed to The Associated
Press on Tuesday after a New York Times report about
the meeting.
The meet-up comes on the heels of West again pub-
licly supporting Trump during a post-show rant about
politics on “Saturday Night Live” earlier this month.
West has also been wearing a version of Trump’s red
BY KATIE WALSH
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The 2015 adaptation of R.L. Stine’s pop-
ular “Goosebumps” book series was way
better than it had any right to be. Starring
Jack Black as a freewheeling version of the
author, the film was a kid-friendly Hal-
loween spookfest that examined the way
we use horror as a coping mechanism in
everyday life. It was smart and silly and
scary, anchored by the inimitable Black.
But the follow-up, “Goosebumps 2:
Haunted Halloween,” is a serious disap-
pointment, starting with how Black is
barely in it. Less Black, less ’bumps, as it
turns out.
It’s not just the lack of Black that has a
detrimental effect. There’s a changeover of
writing and directing teams, writers Scott
Alexander and Larry Karaszewski and
director Rob Letterman replaced by
writer Rob Lieber and director Ari
Sandel. Darren Lemke stays on as co-
writer, but no holdovers from the original
cast, either. Turning it into an anthology
franchise, there’s a new group of kids in
a new town, Wardenclyffe, N.Y., who are
taken in by the evil machinations of ven-
triloquist dummy Slappy.
Sonny (Jeremy Ray Taylor) and his
friend Sam (Caleel Harris) pick up
Slappy at an old creepy house while
doing a junk run. Of course they
promptly recite the incantation found in
his pocket, as one does when one hap-

pens upon a terrifying puppet, and bring
him home. Slappy, who apparently longs
for a family, is happy to ingratiate him-
self with Sonny’s sister, Sarah (Madison
Iseman), a senior struggling with a
scummy boyfriend and college applica-
tions, and their harried, snarky mom,
Kathy (Wendi McLendon-Covey).
The plot is of little consequence. All
that matters is once Slappy’s out of the
box, he wants to make some mischief,
and mischief he makes, with the assis-
tance of all the creatures he brings into
existence. But instead of raising R.L.
Stine’s monsters from the page, Slappy
merely animates every Halloween deco-
ration in sight. One sequence features
Slappy raising every inert costume and
seasonal tchotchke from the Halloween
aisle at the drug store, turning the classic
creatures into zombie monster minions.
Halloween-obsessed neighbor Mr. Chu
(Ken Jeong) also provides great fodder
for Slappy with his elaborate holiday dec-
orations.
But, none of the flimsy nylon monsters
are scary at all. An enormous spider made
out of balloons just doesn’t have the
gravitas. This is a kid-friendly monster
mash, but it’s truly no graveyard smash.
All the clever references have been
drained from the script. Even the cute and
creative monsters, like the giant gummy
bears that attempt to devour Sonny and
Sam, are not enough to enliven the story,
which simply throws chaos at a basic plot
in an attempt to disguise that it’s incredi-
bly thin.
The only performance worth mention-
ing is Jeong, who brings his energetic
weirdness to a rather small role. His char-
acter has the kind of genuine, off-the-
walls enthusiasm for spooks and scares
that would have made the movie a blast
to watch had it centered around him. His
character operates much like Black’s
Stine does, offering a safe entry into the
world of monsters and ghouls to the chil-
dren around him. It’s a shame “Goose-
bumps 2” misses the mark so badly, when
the first film was such a surprising and de-
lightful hoot.

“Make America Great Again” hats recently.
“It’s so many times that I talk to a white person
about this, and they say, ‘How could you support
Trump? He’s racist.’ Well, if I was concerned about
racism, I would have moved out of America a long
time ago,” West said after the show. “We don’t just
make our decisions off of racism. I’ma break it down
to you right now: If someone inspires me and I connect
with them, I don’t have to believe in all they policies.”
On Twitter, Trump heaped praise on the Grammy-
winning provocateur after the performance: “Word is
that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the
show (despite being told ‘no’), was great. He’s leading
the charge!”
West’s wife, reality star Kim Kardashian West, met
with Trump and Kushner over the summer and facili-
tated the presidential pardon of Alice Marie Johnson,
who had been serving a life sentence on nonviolent
drug charges.
Taylor Swift talked about the importance of vot-
ing, and registration spiked
(TNS) It’s been only two days since her impas-
sioned Instagram post encouraged fans to become po-
litically active, but Taylor Swift is already rocking the
vote. And rankling President Trump in the process.
