A vow never to forget

Feeney Bennett American Legion Post 128 member Jim Bradbury places a wreath in the river during Thursday morning’s Pearl Harbor ceremony.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day observed
By Mindy Kearns
Special to the Sentinel

MASON/MIDDLEPORT — They vow
to never forget, even
though there are few
present to witness the
solemn scene.
Year after year, sometimes in the bitter cold,
members of the StewartJohnson V.F.W. Post 9926
of Mason, Smith-Capehart American Legion
Post 140 of New Haven,
and Drew Webster American Legion Post 39 of
Pomeroy trek to the river
for National Pearl Harbor
Remembrance Day.
It is the same tradition for Feeney Bennett
American Legion Post
128 of Middleport, as
legion members gather
each year at 8 a.m. on
Dec. 7 at the Middleport
Levee for a remembrance
ceremony.
Thursday was no different as the members
gathered at the levees in
Mason and Middleport

to place a wreath into the
Ohio River as a tribute
to those who lost their
lives at Pearl Harbor on
Dec. 7, 1941. The Japanese attacked the U.S.
Naval base in Hawaii at
around 7:55 a.m., propelling the United States
into World War II.
More than 2,400
Americans were killed at
Pearl Harbor, and another 1,000 wounded. When
attacks on Pearl Harbor
and other military bases
were over, more than 300
aircraft were damaged or
destroyed, and 21 ships
were sunk or damaged.
President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt asked
Congress for a declaration of war the following
day. The president gave
an address declaring
Dec. 7 as “a date which
will live in infamy.”
Milford Mowrey said
he was only 16 years old
when he heard of the
attack. Mowrey went on
to serve in World War II.
He was chosen as the

World War II veteran Milford Mowrey, left, is pictured as he prepares to toss a wreath into the Ohio
River Thursday, as part of a ceremony honoring those who lost their lives or were injured at Pearl
Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Also shown is veteran John Hood. The remembrance was held at the Mason
levee, with the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W. Post 9926 of Mason, Smith-Capehart American Legion Post
140 of New Haven, and Drew-Webster American Legion Post 39 of Pomeroy participating.

veteran to toss the ceremonial wreath into the
water this year. Mowrey
is a member and past
commander of V.F.W.
Post 9926. Assisting
Mowrey at the river was
John Hood of Post 39.

Roger Alkire read
a prayer during the
ceremony, which also
included the playing of
“Taps,” a gun salute, and
presentation of the ﬂags
by the organizations’
honor guards.

In Middleport, Jim
Bradbury read a prayer
before placing the wreath
in to the river. After the
wreath was placed, Post
128 members conducted
a gun salute, followed by
the playing of Taps.

(while also focusing on
strengthening traditional public schooling).”
While college is a
road to success, Smith
emphasized it was not
the only road and that
vocations may offer a
better option to some
Ohio residents when
college costs are rising
and ﬁelds requiring college degrees are becoming saturated. Smith
said he would ideally
like to make training
programs more efﬁcient.
“We actually have a
shortage of CDL truck
drivers,” said Smith.
“I’ve spoken with a lot
of employers in Ohio
saying we need more of
them and jobs there can
start at $40,000 or even
more…What may take
someone four years in
college to earn a good
living can potentially be
done with several weeks
in a course now.”
Smith said he felt the
potential of natural gas
extraction in southeast
Ohio was also another
possible job creator he
would look into capitalizing on for state residents.
Internet access for
rural Ohioans is another
priority for Smith.
“We have to have
internet access for our
residents and kids if
we’re going to compete

nationally in education
and jobs,” said Smith. “I
don’t care how we do it,
but we need to be able
to get that last mile of
country road access to it
best we can.”
In regard to the opioid
crisis, Smith said that
with his time as Finance
Chair in the House,
he and his colleagues
had focused on passing
ﬁnancial legislation in
Ohio dedicated to ﬁghting the opioid epidemic
and would continue to
target the problem.
“It affects everything,”
said Smith. “It’s a disease.”
Smith said it was
important for law
enforcement to continue
to receive support in
ﬁghting drug trafﬁckers but that the key to
combating the opioid
epidemic was to treat it
as a health problem as
well.
Republicans have
traditionally held to the
idea that government
needs to be small. Smith
believes the importance
of government is to be
efﬁcient and as unobtrusive as possible.
If Smith is elected to
serve as Speaker of the
House, he will be the
ﬁrst Gallia resident to
do so in Ohio’s history.

as it concerns the spiritual truths of the Word of making intercession for

us at God’s right hand.
To prioritize Scriptural
interpretation upon Jesus
Christ is imperative.
Second, if we fail to
interpret the issue of
Salvation based upon
the Deity of Jesus Christ
we will misinterpret the
proper way of Salvation.
The Deity of Jesus Christ
refers to the fact that
Jesus Christ is actually
God in the Flesh. There
are those who lower the
divine status of Jesus
Christ in what they
believe, and, when that is
done, any type of system
can be devised for a salvation based on what man
does, not what God has
done through His Son.
If salvation is viewed in
terms of what we do, the
salvation mark is grossly
missed.
What God wants us to
understand is that He did

for us what we could not
do for ourselves when it
comes to our salvation.
He wants us to believe
completely in Him, and
rely completely on Him
for salvation.
As God the Son, He
provided a perfect salvation, which needs no
help from us. He as much
afﬁrmed the same Himself when He said, “I am
the way, the truth, and
the life. No man comes to
be Father but by me.” It is
imperative that we see it
that way, too.
A critical point of
applying correct interpretation has to do with our
lives and our living. In
other words, if we view
ourselves independent
of living the way Jesus
Christ would have us to
live, then our interpretation of life is corrupted
indeed. We need to con-

sider our living as being
for His honor and glory.
The Apostle Paul had
a strong afﬁnity for this
quality of interpretation
for his life, for he testiﬁed, “I am cruciﬁed with
Christ: nevertheless, I
live; yet not I, but Christ
lives in me: and the life
which I now live in the
ﬂesh I live by the faith
of the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Where the
water meets the wheel is
that life and belief is best
qualiﬁed in terms of Jesus
Christ. He provides the
best results for how we
should see things.

The next verse says

He speaks by faith.
But there’s one last
thing I want to mention
about both of these stories. Before being healed,
both of the lame men
were content with their
condition. When Jesus
asked if he desired to be
healed, the ﬁrst lame man
said he couldn’t. After
all, he had been lame for
38 years and someone
always got to the “healing” water before him.
Then, because Jesus
spoke by faith, the man
was healed without stepping into the water (John
5:1-9).
When Peter and John
approached the second
lame man, he wanted
money, not healing. The
Bible says he sat at the
Beautiful Gate each day
to beg for money. Then,
the Bible describes
him looking eagerly at
Peter and John, expecting money. But instead,
through the power of the
Holy Spirit, Peter healed
him. All because he spoke
in the name of Jesus by
faith (Acts 3:1-7).
Have you become content with something God
wants to change? If so, I
encourage you to begin
speaking God’s power
into your life. As Christian artist TobyMac says,
“Speak life!” Faith creates
what God desires you to
see.

ingly and lovingly laid
aside His own glory, and
became like us in order
to be what we could not
be for ourselves: a sinless
and perfect sacriﬁce.
Though Jesus “was in
the form of God, (He)
did not count equality
with God a thing to be
grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the
form of a servant, being
born in the likeness of
men. And being found in
human form, He humbled
himself by becoming
obedient to the point of
death, even death on a
cross!” (Philippians 2:6-8
ESV).
In a great Cosmic
“rodeo”, He humbly
entered His broken creation in order to grab
our sin by the horns and
throw it to the ground.
Doing so meant that He
would take into Himself
the goring of the awful
horn of sin’s power by
suffering at the hands
of hateful humanity and
then the horn of sin’s penalty, as He gave Himself

in death for us as a perfect sacriﬁce, sufﬁcient
for all the world for all
time… sufﬁcient for the
peace for which we so
earnestly yearn.
“Hark! The herald
angels sing! ‘Glory to the
newborn King! Peace on
earth and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled!’” (words by Charles
Wesley; melody by Felix
Mendelssohn).
Peace is a marvelous
and wonderful effect of
becoming a child of God.
First, we are no longer “at
war” with Him because
we are no longer willfully
living for ourselves (having surrendered the matter of our sin to His atoning work on the Cross of
Christ). “Therefore, since
we have been justiﬁed by
faith, we have peace with
God through our Lord
Jesus Christ” (Romans
5:1 ESV). Secondly, we
no longer need to dwell
under the oppressive guilt
and shame with which
the condemnation of our
sin blankets us. When we

trust Christ as our savior,
we are forgiven, cleansed,
healed, and set free forever.
Finally, as God’s goodness begins to conquer
our character in the
shaping of our values and
our moral choices, we
respond to evil enacted
upon us with good and so
begin to break the world’s
cycle of wickedness. As
I am hurt or have been
offended, I can nevertheless choose to “respond”
with the grace of Jesus
and to not “react” by
exacting revenge. When
we respond as Christ
would have us respond,
mercy is introduced to
the lives of those who’ve
not personally experienced mercy; goodness
is injected into a situation where “good” was
nowhere to be found;
peace ﬂows out of our
very being into each of
our “little corners of the
world.”
The world is hungry
for real peace. Only One
can supply that peace…

for the world and for you
and me. Can you not hear
the echo of the angels’
song today? Does your
heart even now resound
with their wondrous
anthem, “Glory to God in
the highest, and on earth
peace to men on whom
His favor rests” (Luke
2:14)? Would you even
now, in this Christmas
season, surrender your
will and your way to this
Son of God, this Prince of
Peace?
“For to us a Child is
born, to us a Son is given;

them to destruction.
About 2,000 years ago,
Peter cautioned fellow
Christians against listening to the wisdom of the
day.
The people around
them were participating
in and promoting, “lewdness, lusts, drunkenness,
revelries, drinking parties, and abominable
idolatries.” (1 Peter 4:3)
Regarding this, Peter
said, “they think it
strange that you do not
run with them in the
same ﬂood of dissipa-

tion, speaking evil of
you. They will give an
account to Him who is
ready to judge the living
and the dead.” (1 Peter
4:4-5; NKJV)
The unfortunate and
unhappy proclivities of
modern men: drunkenness, drug abuse,
materialism, rudeness,
sexual promiscuity and
immorality; these things
are not new and different, rather they are the
same unfortunate and
unhappy habits which
have plagued men since

we left the Garden. And
always the results are
the same.
But the cure does not
change either.
God provides us wise
and righteous counsel,
and if we listen to Him,
we, and those around
us, are going to be happier and more fulﬁlled.
If we are wise, we will
choose to listen to God’s
wisdom, rather than the
fashionable wisdom of
the age.
If you would like to
learn more of God’s

wisdom for your life,
as taught in the Bible,
the church of Christ
invites you to study and
worship with us at 234

Ohio.

Raiders
win dual at
Athens
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

THE PLAINS, Ohio — Talk about a good break.
The River Valley wrestling team once again
came away with top honors on Wednesday night
after winning the tiebreaker in a 33-all dual contest against host Athens at McAfee Gymnasium in
Athens County.
The Raiders — who claimed a convincing team
victory at the Jackson American Legion Post 81
Invitational held last Saturday — earned the tiebreaking victory after claiming more match wins
over the Bulldogs by a slim 7-6 count.
Neither squad had a competitor in the 106pound match, leaving the 113-pound contest as
the dual opener. At one point, the guests trailed
30-9, but the Silver and Black won the ﬁve of the
ﬁnal six matches to rally back and even the score
at 33.
AHS claimed the opening bout as John Kimball
claimed a pinfall victory over Joseph Burns at 113,
but Coalton Burns evened the score at six after
claiming a ﬁrst period pinfall over Ben Coon at
120 pounds.
The Raiders took their only lead of the night
after Jacob Edwards scored a 15-10 decision over
Brian List, making it a 9-6 contest following the
126-pound contest.
Harley Watson dropped his 132 match against
Chris Jackson with a ﬁrst round pinfall, then

Point drops dual to Highlanders, 43-27
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Some ups and
downs, but the Highlanders ultimately came out
on top.
Visiting Huntington
won eight of the 14
individual matches on
Wednesday night en
route to a 43-27 victory
over the Point Pleasant
wrestling team in a dual
contest at The Dungeon
in Mason County.
The host Big Blacks
started the evening well
with wins in the opening
three bouts, but the Highlanders countered with
victories in all but three
of the ﬁnal 11 matches to
rally back from an early
12-point deﬁcit.
HHS — a perennial
power at the Class AAA
level — recorded ﬁve of
the seven pinfall victories in the dual and also
beneﬁted from the lone
forfeit of the night, which
occurred in the 145pound weight class.
The contest started in
the 106-pound division,
with Justin Cornell leading wire-to-wire while
securing 6-2 decision
over Arthur.
Isaac Short followed
with a 7-2 decision over
Doss at 113, then Mitchell Freeman scored a
second period pinfall over
Serrano in the 120 division — giving PPHS a
12-0 advantage.
Huntington, however,
responded with back-toback pinfall wins to knot
the match up at 12-all.
Adkins netted a second
period win over Caleb
Lane at 126 pounds, then
Dempsey scored a second

Pleasant, W.Va.

period pin over Riley Oliver at 132 pounds.
Wyatt Wilson gave the
Big Blacks their second
lead of the night after
earning a second period
pinfall over Sollards at
138 pounds, but Point’s
forfeit to Hagley at 145
once again tied things at
18-all.
PPHS secured its ﬁnal
lead of the night in the
152-pound match as
Jacob Roub held on for
a slim 1-0 decision over
Dempsey, giving the
hosts a 21-18 edge.
Huntington went on to
win the next four matches, two of which were by
pinfall, as the Green and
Gold opened up a 37-21
lead with only two divisions left.
Stewart defeated Logan
Southall with a ﬁrst period pinfall at 160 pounds
and Pardee earned a

ﬁrst period pinfall win
over Colton Carr at 182
pounds.
Pardee claimed a 6-3
decision over Jacob Bryant at 170 pounds, while
Ball posted a 9-0 major
decision over Clayton Hill
at 195 pounds.
Juan Marquez scored
Point’s ﬁnal victory of the
night with a ﬁrst period
pinfall over Cremeans
in the 220 weight class,
closing the deﬁcit down
to 37-27.
Huntington got a ﬁrst
period pinfall win in the
heavyweight division as
Kelley defeated Jacob
Muncy in the ﬁnale,
wrapping up the 16-point
outcome.
Point Pleasant had
underclassmen in nine of
its 13 individual events,
including four sophomores and four freshmen.
The lower two grades ﬁn-

ished the night 5-3, while
the top two classes went
1-4 overall.
The Big Blacks were
also without 2015 state
champion and last year’s
113-pound Class AA
runner-up George Smith
due to an injury.
Overall, PPHS coach
John Bonecutter thought
the night was a mixed
bag of results — but he
was mostly happy with
the way his young squad
battled against the Highlanders.
“I felt like we wrestled
well at times tonight, but
you never really know
what to expect when
you have a young team,”
Bonecutter said. “We had
some growing pains and
there were some things
that I wasn’t really happy
about tonight, but we
also some really bright
spots from the younger
kids. The kids stepped
up and wrestled hard
against a quality program, although it would
have been nice to win the
dual.
“We have some things
to work on before this
weekend, but I thought
we showed signs of
growth and improvement. That’s what you
want to see out of a
young team early on in
the season.”
Point Pleasant returns
to action Friday and
Saturday when it hosts
the 12th annual Jason
Eades Memorial Duals.
The opening round of
matches start Friday at
5 p.m., then competition
resumes Saturday at 10
a.m.
