See PHASE | 10 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, January 15, 2021 GOD’S KIDS KORNER OBITUARIES On the subject of God’s creation… The first book of the Bible is Genesis. It starts out by saying, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” So who made everything on the earth and everything in the sky? God! Our God is very creative. From the smallest ant to the largest whale, He made them all - every plant, every star, every mountain, the sun, the moon, the oceans, you, me - EVERYTHING! God had a beautiful and systematic plan for the universe. (He still has a wonderful plan for His universe.) On the first day, He made light and darkness – day and night. On the second day, God made the sky and seas. The third day, He formed the land, deserts, mountains, and hills. Next, He put the sun, moon, stars, and planets in the sky on the fourth day. He thought there needed to be living things, so God made fish to Ann live in the waters and birds to fly in Moody the sky on day five. Day six was a Contributing big day because God made all the columnist land animals from tigers to polar bears to rabbits, horses, to dogs and cats. Then on that same day, God decided to make His ultimate creation. Genesis 1: 27 says, “So God created man in His own image. He created him in the image of God. He created them male and female.” God made us! Finally, on the seventh day the Bible simply states, God rested. He probably needed a break after all that! Do you know what God said about everything that He made during that time? “And God saw it was good!” What is so wonderful about creation is that the Bible tells us we were made in God’s own image! We bear His image but in a smaller frame of course, and we resemble Him because we have His spirit inside us. God is spirit. He wants a relationship with us, so He gave us His own spirit to be able to need and enjoy Him, our family, and our friends. God created us out of love; He cares about us and what concerns us. He shared the best part of Himself with you and me by forming us to be like Him. Nothing else in creation can make that claim! We were not an accident; we were made by God’s own design to live on the earth and be a helper to Him with all that He had made. So whenever you feel sad or depressed, remember how God made you to be like Him – full of His spirit and love. He loves and cares about you and wants to help you whatever may happen to you or around you. (Yes, even now in the middle of a pandemic and social unrest!) He wants you to be loving and caring and help others in return. You are special; I am special, all creation is special because God planned it all to be that way! We are certainly God’s children! Let’s pray. Thank You God for making the earth, the heavens, the animals, and us. You gave us all the best things to enjoy and even put Your own spirit inside us. Help us to always remember we are special to You and made by You. In Your name we pray, Amen.

When you are slowly going blind Terry and I recently discussed our eye conditions. Concerning her, she had a cataract to develop in one eye over time that came to seriously distort her vision. For a long time, the growth of that cataract was so slow that it was not apparent to her. Recently, however, an eye examination identified it, and surgery corrected the problem. The cataract was removed, and it has made a big difference for her concerning her vision (thank God!). For all of my life, I was able to read up close without glasses, which was an advantage when it came to all the studying I do. But, in recent days, I had to resort to using the Ron store glasses to read up close. Come Branch to find out, I have cataracts on both Contributing eyes that hinder my reading vision. columnist When the cataract was removed in my one eye recently, it made a significant difference. Now I do not need glasses to read. My other eye is scheduled for surgery soon. Nonetheless, Terry gave this all perspective recently when she observed, “We were slowly going blind, and did not realize it.“ See BLIND | 3 CONTACT US 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2021 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition.

The Statehouse has seen several protests in the past year related to the coronavirus pandemic and concerns over racism and police brutality. In mid-April, protesters angered by the governor’s coronavirus shutdown orders converged on the Statehouse, pounding on windows and leading the governor to shift a media center for pandemic questions to a windowless area on the first floor. In late May, people protesting the death of George Floyd smashed 28 Statehouse windows; damaged doors, light poles and flags; and dumped several garbage cans. One person briefly entered an office through a broken window but retreated before troopers within the building could catch him. In June, the Statehouse was defaced with red handprints and the phrase “hands up, don’t shoot” in protest of police brutality. No change in Statehouse weapons policy will be made, unlike in Michigan, which banned the open carrying of weapons in its capitol. Ohio already bans weapons in the Statehouse except for law enforcement officers with proper permission. ___ Farnoush Amiri is a corps member for the Associated Press/ Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

The Eastern girls basketball team trailed Waterford by just four points midway through Wednesday’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division bout in Meigs County, where the Lady Wildcats left with a 53-36 victory. Waterford (8-3, 6-1 TVC Hocking) led by as many as five points, at 7-2, in the opening period, but Eastern (3-8, 2-5) Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Eastern senior Kennadi Rockhold (22) steals the ball in front of the Waterford bench, during the tied it at nine with 1:15 left in the quarter. second half of the Lady Wildcats’ 53-36 victory on Wednesday in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. AP source: Meyer nearing deal to coach Jaguars JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A person familiar with the search says Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars are “working toward finalizing” a deal to make him the team’s coach. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Thursday because an agreement was not yet in place. The person said it could be done soon. Meyer would be leaving the broadcast booth and returning to the sidelines after a two-year absence that followed another health scare. The 56-year-old Meyer was team owner Shad Khan’s top target, and Khan waited nearly a week to get to this point. They met last Friday on Khan’s yacht in Miami and again Wednesday. Hiring the longtime college coach with three national championships would signify a new direction for a franchise that has lost 105 of 144 games since Khan took over in 2012. Meyer went 187-32 — a staggering winning percentage of 85.3 — in stops at Bowling Green (2001-02), Utah (2003-04), Florida (2005-10) and Ohio State (2012-18). He ranks seventh all time in collegiate winning percentage, trailing only Notre Dame legends Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy among coaches at major programs. But doubts remain about Meyer’s ability to make a smooth transition to the NFL, where motivational tactics tend to be moot and losing multiple games every year is a given. Meyer never lost more than five times in any season as a college head coach; he went 83-9 at Ohio State. Still, Meyer has been eyeing an NFL move for months. He researched the league with help from former players and friends, started assembling a potential staff and learned how the front office works. Meyer and Khan have been friends for years, building a relationship while both were living in Big Ten country. Jacksonville was the most attractive opening. The Jaguars have 11 picks in the 2021 draft, including five in the top 65, and are nearly $100 million under the projected salary cap. Adding to the appeal: Khan, a billionaire businessman, has shown a penchant for patience and a willingness to spend big. Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a lock to land in Jacksonville with the top pick and will be the centerpiece of the team’s latest rebuild. Meyer would replace Doug Marrone, who was fired after losing the final 15 games in 2020. Marrone went 25-44 in four-plus seasons with the See DEAL | 8 The Lady Eagles took their first and only lead of the game at 11-9, when Jennifer Parker hit a twopoint 36 seconds into the second quarter. WHS was back up after a threepointer by Mackenzie Suprano 38 seconds later, and the guests led the rest of the way. Waterford was ahead 21-17 at halftime, and then outscored Eastern 20-to-7 in the third period, making the margin 41-24 with eight minutes to play. The guests were ahead by a game-high 22-points, at 49-27, with 3:58 left in the contest, and cruised to the 53-36 victory. WHS won the rebounding battle by a 33-to-24 count, including 16-to-8 on the offensive end. EHS had 18 turnovers, while Waterford gave possession away 11 times. The hosts combined for eight assists, six steals and three rejections, while the Lady Wildcats ended with 11 steals, nine assists and two rejections. EHS sank 14-of-40 (35 percent) field goal attempts, including 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) three-point tries, while WHS was 24-of-64 (37.5 percent) from the field, including 4-of-19 (21.1 percent) See FALL | 8 Rebels roll past Eastern, 55-31 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Finally getting back to normal. The South Gallia boys basketball team shot 61 percent in the first half and built a 24-point halftime lead before ultimately cruising to a 55-31 victory over visiting Eastern on Wednesday night during a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County. The Rebels (7-4, 2-2 TVC Hocking) had their full roster available for the first time all season, and the hosts channeled that energy into an 18-2 first quarter lead that was capped by a successful Jaxxin Mabe three-quarters court heave at the end of the canto. The Eagles (0-7, 0-3) were ultimately never closer the rest of the way as SGHS received another 12 points from Mabe during a 19-11 second quarter push that gave the Red and Gold a sizable 37-13 cushion at the break. EHS forced South Gallia into misses on their first nine shot attempts of the third stanza and eventually won the 8-minute session by a 6-5 count for a 42-19 deficit headed into the finale. The hosts closed regulation with a 13-12 spurt to wrap up the 24-point outcome. The Rebels made 21 total field goals — including five trifectas — and also went 8-of-19 at the free throw line for 42 percent. Mabe led the victors with a game-high 23 points, which included four 3-pointers in a 20-point first half performance.

Marrone failed repeatedly to fill the team’s long-standing hole at quarterback, and Khan kept him and general manager Dave Caldwell around a year longer than many expected to make them clean up a fractured locker room and a stressed salary cap. Khan also interviewed Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Atlanta defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, San Francisco defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Tennessee offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. But Meyer was his No. 1 choice. Meyer’s health remains a concern. He stepped down at Ohio State in 2018 mostly because of a congenital arachnoid cyst in his brain, which required surgery in 2014 and bothered him throughout his final season with the Buckeyes. He also resigned at Florida for health reasons in December 2009 only to change his mind the following day and instead take a leave of absence. He returned to coach in 2010 and then walked away again at the end of the season, a move that eventually angered many Florida faithful because he took the job at Ohio State less than a year later. Meyer spent the last two years in an analyst role for Fox Sports, appearing weekly on the station’s college football pregame show. Fall From page 7 from deep. At the foul line, Eastern made 7-of14 (50 percent), while Waterford hit 1-of-4 (25 percent). Sydney Reynolds paced the hosts with Wednesday. The National Football League said it will reconsider its donations but did not commit to suspending them. “We are re-evaluating our political giving policies through the Gridiron PAC,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told the AP in a statement Wednesday.
