According to Brenda Leslie, Meigs County Housing Authority executive director, the new facility will allow more privacy and ease of access for program participants and more storage space for records. “We are very excited to be moving,” she said. “There simply wasn’t enough space in our current office.” VINTON — In several rooms at the rear of a building are filled with donated children’s clothes, men’s and women’s clothing, toys, wash cloths and towels. In in still yet another is a pantry filled with personal hygiene items, canned and dry goods. Folks who turned out for God’s Hands at Work’s open house midSunday afternoon on Keystone Road received the grand tour of the new service center that will help people in need in Gallia, Jackson, Meigs and Vinton counties in Ohio, and Mason County, W.Va. The open house took place in the former Fellowship Chapel in Vinton. According to Lisa Carroll, organization president, “We are God’s Hands at Work, a local nonprofit organization, is a group of believers who came together after a series of terrible tragedies in our area. We serve Gallia, Jackson, Vinton and Meigs counties in Ohio and West Virginia. Our mission is to love our neighbors as ourselves as we are commanded in God’s Word, by providing a ‘hand up’ when we see a need.” The group helps coordinate and network individuals with groups, services and items that an individual may need when down on their luck. Carroll made a point to emphasize that while the organization often serves financially disadvantaged individuals, they will often step in to help individuals that approach the group when facing a temporary hardship like a sudden loss in employment. Carroll said the group started as a way to help a family that had suffered a tragedy due to a home fire and the program sprung to life from the incident. The group has helped provide food boxes, clothes, hygiene items, household items, furniture, as well as prom dresses to individuals searching for such items. When the group can, it attempts to help with utility payments such as getting a family’s electricity turned back on, provided that funding is available. Last year, the organization helped 168 families. Some of the services provided were help with clothes, utility payments, flood assistance and even coat giveaways. But as Carroll told a gathering of people Sunday in the sanctuary that the program is need-based, not income-based. “We do our best to research every application and we pray on each one,” she said. “Many times, hard-working folks just need a hand up, and that’s mostly what we’re about. We provide that to our neighbors when we see a need.” Carroll said the group is not all about “gloom and doom,” meaning lending a hand to people who have been hit with tragedy. She said she hopes to conduct community dinners at the facility, in addition to the planned 7 p.m. meetings on the second Monday of each month. “We have a lot of plans for a lot of really great activities,” Carroll said. “We’re hoping to give back to the community in a lot of ways with some fun activities with the family … some good, wholesome fellowship time.” See AUTHORITY | 5 See RESIDENTS | 3 Photos by Lorna Hart | Daily Sentinel Local historian Michael Gerlach presented some interesting facts about black history in the area to a meeting of the local chapter of DAR. DAR highlights accomplishments By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — The Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter of the The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) met Saturday to review their accomplishments of 2015 and plan for the new year. Local historian Michael Gerlach presented a program for the group on the topic of local black history. Michael Gerlach highlighted a bit of Middleport/ Meigs County Black History through the story of a grandfather and grandson who came out of post- bellum Middleport and whose contributions are still an influence to the town and the county today. The massive numbers of newly freed slaves as a result of the ongoing Civil War were still in danger in southern states. The speaker made the analogy to modern refugees, civilians fleeing a war torn country with few physical possessions and of a culture distinct from the (at the time) primarily German Middleport. The ease of integration varied, and while the Ku Klux Klan and other anti-immigrant forces would eventually swell after the war, initially the freed slaves settled in the north and began building better lives. Samuel B. Allen emigrated to Ohio after being freed from slavery near the end of the Civil War. Despite lacking formal education, the “industrious” Samuel B. Allen opened several highly successful restaurants and hotels in southern Ohio, including what became the premier establishment in Middleport. The building would later become the La Salle, a Middleport landmark. His grandson, Sam C. Allen, became a mover and shaker of jazz music, as a member of Josephine Baker’s travel band, credited by Dizzy Gillespie in shaping his career. Such stories in black history often remained buried, and the subject of the presentation only recently came to the attention of Gerlach, an expert historian of the area. “Here were two men Middleport can claim as their own, two important individuals, and I just now am learning of them,” he said. “The history here was right under my nose this whole time.” In 2015, the Meigs Chapter of DAR celebrated 107 years of membership in the national organization, which was founded on Oct. 11, 1890. During this period in U.S. history, there was a revival in patriotism and renewed interest in the beginnings of the United States. Women who wanted to express their patriotic feeling were frustrated by their exclusion from men’s organizations and decided to form their own. The women dedicated themselves to “promoting — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 patriotism, preserving American history and securing America’s future through better education for children”. Membership is open to woman 18 years or olderregardless of race, religion, or ethnic background-who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. Upon review of the Meigs chapter’s activities during 2015, it was noted that more than 2,244 volunteer hours were recorded as members served in a wide range of community projects, includ- ing the cleaning and restoring of the area around the site of young George Washington’s only overnight stay in Ohio. The group received awards from several committees: Celebrate American!, DAR American Indian, Constitution Week, Americanism, National Defense and President General’s Project. One of the highlights of the year was regent Opal Grueser’s chairing of the OSDAR 90+ Celebrants’ Committee.

Problem was I didn’t like cake — any cake, let alone one donning brown icing and cows. When I turned 20, I tasted a sliver of carrot cake, and we’ve been inseparable at celebrations every since. Forty-seven flames will be blazing on my birthday cake this Wednesday. Each one representing countless lessons I’ve learned. One of those lessons is to not allow past associations with objects or people to dictate my current attitude towards them. Some associations are harmless Michele Z. like to me coffee means comfort, Marcum Hawaii means luaus, and I expect Contributing to find zebras at the zoo, but if I’d Columnist failed to let go of my preconceived notion of yoga being a bunch of old, bald guys sitting crossed-legged and chanting “Ohm,” I’d have deprived myself of the practice that’s become an integral part of my day. The strength and peace I’ve found in holding a yoga pose transcends the mat and helps me live a more focused life. Preconceived notions can prevent us from making our own decisions. For instance, I’ve never liked peas — or so I thought. I see peas and I revert to an eight-year-old. For a split second I’m hiding my peas under the mashed potatoes on my plate and watching the kitchen doorway for Dad’s arrival back to check my progress. He will expect the peas to be gone and gone they will be — unless he goes digging in my leftovers. Yesterday at a restaurant, the waiter brought the chicken breast I ordered, but instead of zucchini, tiny, green, dented-looking balls were rolling around on the side — peas! I looked at them and decided to give them a chance to convince my palette of their worth. I said to myself, “I’m choosing to eat these and I can stop whenever I want.” The first spoonful I let marinade in my mouth. I wasn’t gagging so I bit down. Bland, not bad. After several scoops, I realized it wasn’t the peas I didn’t like as much as it was being told as a kid that I had to eat them. Peas still aren’t my favorite veggie, but I’m not avoiding them just because of a memory I associate with them. Now when I look at peas, rather than thinking, “Yuck,” I think, “Remain open to the experience,” because without new experiences, we know exactly what to expect and that can be boring. I want each candle on my birthday cake to represent a plethora of new experiences I’ve enjoyed over the year, including tasting the newest flavor of cake, even if it means I don’t like it, and I have to hide it under the mashed potatoes.

She has seen first-hand the struggles families face when they relocate or have lost their jobs. “Sometime all anyone needs is just a little help, a bit of assistance getting back on their feet as they try to find jobs, housing and child care.” The Housing Authority is part of the Housing and Urban Development program, and one of its roles is to provide rental assistance to low-income households through the Housing Choice program. Participants can move within the continental United States and remain in the program, allowing portability as households move from county to county and state to state to pursue a job or education without losing their housing assistance. “This program is a stepping stone for many participants,” Leslie said. “While more than half of the people we serve are elderly or disabled, others are in the program on a temporary basis until they can finish their education or find a job to provide for their families.

Many people are struggling and want to move forward with their education and employment, and this allows them to have some help to meet their goals.” “We have success stories,” Griffith said. “Those are very fulfilling.” The Home Ownership Program accepts creditworthy households and bases eligibility on income when applying for a loan.

The money is released free and clear when the participant graduates from the program. The money can also be used during this time for anything deemed necessary to their employment, such as auto repair and clothing, but cannot be depleted. The program is also designed as a teaching opportunity as renting participants learn what it takes to maintain and care for a property, including household budgeting. When participates “graduate” from the program, the goal is to be in a financial position to qualify for a on a yearly basis and leasees are responsible for maintaining the property according to the lease agreement. Currently, the program is full and the agency has closed the waiting list until at least spring 2016. Griffin gave an example of a family who benefits from the program: a husband and wife with one small child, both are in nursing school full time, with opportunities ahead upon graduation for employment, home ownership, and a chance to give back to the community. What this family needed was help to achieve their goals, exactly what the Housing Choice program was designed for. Another program Leslie and Griffith spoke of was the Family Self-Sufficiency Program. The goal is to have the individual or household off the program within five years, having integrated into the economy and the role of homeowner. An example of a participant in this program would be an applicant who has been accepted into college or tech school but needs help with housing during their education. Once they graduate and accept a job in their field, they move toward becoming selfsufficient. As their income increases, they are required to pay more for their housing. The difference between the amount they initially als is to achieve economic independence.” The program is based on availability; Meigs County is allowed 125 vouchers, meaning 125 households can be served. There is more need in the county than availability, both in terms of vouchers and available rentals. “We have more need than vouchers.” Leslie said. “And there is always a shortage of quality rentals in the area.” The process for being accepted into the program requires meeting strict standards of need. Once accepted into the program, the participant is required to find a rental that meets HUDs housing quality standards. Rich Griffith, executive director of the Vinton County Housing Authority, is also an inspector for Meigs. Once the rental is located, Griffith inspects the property and either approves the property, rejects it or provides a list of needed repairs to the landlord. If the landlord agrees to the improvement, Griffith will then sign off on the property. The next step is to assist the participant with the lease agreement. The amount the participant pays for the rental is based on income and family size. The Housing Authority reviews their ability to pay the portion of the rent they are responsible for, and if everything is in order, approves the rental property.

(AP) — Police are investigating after an off-duty officer heckled NASCAR star Tony Stewart and was confronted by the driver. The confrontation happened Friday night at the weeklong Chili Bowl dirt-track racing event at the Tulsa Expo Center. The heckler was Cpl. Kyle Hess with the sheriff’s office, the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office said. Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Green said the investigation likely will finish after the weekend and his office is expected to release a statement then. Cellphone videos from fans posted online shortly afterward show Stewart and the fan locking hands and engaging in heated conversation. The videos show Stewart going into the stands. Hess fell backward after a security guard stepped between the two, though Stewart continued to talk to a seated Hess. Green said that after looking at the video he doubts charges will be filed against the 44-year-old driver or Hess. “Of course, there may be other details that are still out there other than that video,” he said. 6 PM WSAZ News (WSAZ) 3 WTAP News (WTAP) at Six ABC 6 News (WSYX) at 6:00 p.m. Nature Cat 6:30 TUESDAY, JANUARY 19 7 PM 7:30 NBC Nightly 3 News NBC Nightly 4 News ABC World 6 News Thomas Edison's 7 (WOUB) Secret Lab Eyewitness ABC World 8 (WCHS) News at 6 News 10TV News CBS Evening 10 (WBNS) at 6 p.m. News 2 Broke Girls 2 Broke Girls 11 (WVAH) BBC World 12 (WVPB) News: America 13 News at 13 (WOWK) 6:00 p.m. CABLE 6 PM Wheel of Jeopardy!

TVM Shameless "#Abortion Rules" �SPORTS 8 Tuesday, January 19, 2016 Daily Sentinel St. Louis united against common enemy: Kroenke ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis football fans don’t have the 49ers or Seahawks to hate anymore. They have a new nemesis: Rams owner Stan Kroenke and the NFL executives who helped take away the team. It wasn’t exactly moving trucks sneaking the Colts out of Baltimore or moving the Browns from Cleveland, but Tuesday’s decision to relocate the Rams to Los Angeles left Missouri’s biggest city with bruised feelings, millions of dollars of unpaid debt from the current stadium and the distinction of losing two NFL teams in three decades. Yet, it also united the oftat-odds community — mostly in their disdain for the billionaire Missouri native who took away their team. Consider Thursday night’s hockey game. St. Louis Cardinals president Bill DeWitt III joined Blues owner Tom Stillman for a ceremonial pregame puck drop. The public address announcer proclaimed St. Louis “the best sports city in America.” A thunderous ovation for the show of community support quickly turned into an anti-Kroenke chant. Terry Cook, a 34-year-old Blues fan, was among those yelling “Kroenke sucks!” He figured St. Louis never really had a chance once Kroenke decided to head west. “Billionaires usually get what they want,” Cook said. “It doesn’t matter what the people want.” It may be a permanent loss for the Gateway City, which offered the team a new $1 billion riverfront stadium, and for the most part, residents seemed OK with that. Across St. Louis, a common sentiment was that Kroenke has been planning the move since buying the team in 2010 (he denies it), and that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league officials were in on the fix (they deny it, too). Mayor Francis Slay has said he wants no part of trying to attract another team. Dave Peacock, co-chairman of the task force that assembled the stadium plans, which were later deemed inadequate by the league, said the whole process was more “contrived” than he Do we have your attention now?

St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Benjamin Hochman wrote that St. Louis “cannot fall into the trap of thinking we’re less than we are, just because we got dumped.” Countless people expressed similar sentiments on social media, consoling each other at the same time. Such a “rally ‘round the flag” phenomenon presents itself in tough times, said Tim Bono, a lecturer in psychological and brain sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. “There is something to be said in having a common enemy in bringing people together,” Bono said. “Right now, St. Louis has a common enemy in Stan Kroenke.” There’s disagreement over whether the Rams’ departure about 20 years after they arrived is economically catastrophic for the Rust Belt city. “People care a lot about the Rams, but in terms of thinking they’re important as a source of economic activity, there’s no way to argue that,” said Glenn MacDonald, an economics professor at Washington University’s Olin Business School. Restaurants and hotels won’t be as full, but the Rams played only 8 home games a year — nothing compared to the Blues’ 41 and Cardinals’ 81 home games. Many of the Rams’ fulltime employees are expected to make the move to California, so job losses will be relegated to part-time game-day workers. Slay said the city stands to lose about $4 million annually in tax revenue generated by the Rams, something he and other civic leaders are confident can be made up by the fact that the Edward Jones Dome, which is part of the city’s convention center, will now be available yearround for conventions. Taxpayers are still on the hook for about $100 million to pay off the dome, which was built entirely with public money. The bond debt won’t be repaid until 2021. As for the new stadium, there was plenty of debate as to whether it was worth the nearly $400 million that city leaders and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon had signed on to spend, but advocates said it would have created 5,000 construction jobs, many of them set aside for minorities, and revitalized a decaying area near the Gateway Arch. As for the fans, there’s always hockey and baseball. “It stinks to lose (the Rams),” 24-year-old Justin Sweetin said. “But honestly, they’ve been so terrible in recent years that it’s not as big of a loss as if the Blues or Cardinals would leave. That would be devastating.” Notices Business & Trade School Apartments/Townhouses Firewood NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

But even the four-time champions who looked the most solid of the survivors of the second round have some self-searching to do. They simply have fewer questions to answer, which makes sense when Tom Brady is your quarterback. “I think we had plenty of plays out there that we left on the field, things that we can definitely do better, and I think we can be sharper next week.” Brady said after the 27-20 win against Kansas City. “So that’s what we’re going to try to be. We’re going to need it.” Both NFC teams will need to find their previously staunch defenses. Carolina was opportunistic and impenetrable for 30 By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com HAMLIN, W.Va. — Another tough night away from home. The Point Pleasant boys basketball team dropped its fifth consecutive decision while also falling to 1-6 overall in road contests Friday night following a 62-50 non-conference setback to host Lincoln County. The visiting Big Blacks (2-9) stayed competitive throughout the course of the contest, but Nathan Spencer scored 10 of his game-high 29 points during a 20-14 fourth quarter run that ultimately allowed the Panthers (8-3) to secure the 12-point triumph. LCHS claimed a 13-11 advantage after eight minutes of play, then both teams traded 13 points apiece in the second canto en route to a 26-24 contest at the break. Spencer and Jake Ashley each scored eight points during a 16-12 third quarter run by the hosts, but Will Harbour scored 10 of Point’s dozen markers in the canto — allowing the guests to enter the finale trailing by two possessions at 42-36. Harbour led the Big Blacks with 17 points, followed by Parker Rairden and Bradley Gibbs with eight markers apiece. Trey Tucker and Cason Payne respectively added seven and six points in the setback. Trenton Tucker was next with three points, while Douglas Workman rounded out the scoring with one point. PPHS netted five of its 20 field goals from behind the arc and also went 5-of-12 at the free throw line for 42 percent. Ashley followed Spencer with 18 points and Brandon Holley also chipped 11 points for the victors. Corey Rusk and Jacob Kirkendall each added two points for the Panthers, who went 6-of-8 from the charity stripe for 75 percent. The hosts also netted six of their 25 field goals from three-point territory. Point Pleasant returns to action Tuesday when it hosts St. Albans in a non-conference matchup at 6 p.m. minutes, almost amateurish for the next 30 in surviving Seattle 31-24. Arizona was victimized for big plays by receivers few people outside of Green Bay knew in a 26-20 overtime victory. And Denver must find the end zone rather than settling for field goals against New England after a 23-16 win over Pittsburgh. Some things the final four — and the rest of the football world — learned over the weekend: NEW ENGLAND: The Patriots couldn’t run the ball against Kansas City, and Denver had the best regular-season defense in the NFL. New England was helped greatly by a timid Chiefs defense, but to expect to so easily move the ball against the Broncos could be a major mistake. Of course, the Patriots discovered that Julian Edelman could step right back in after missing nearly a month with a broken foot. That’s a significant boost to the offense if Edelman came out of the Marauders From Page 6 Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. Blake Johnson, Crenson Rogers, Brayden Cunningham and victory in good shape. The defending champions also have prospered with several backups being called upon because of injuries. Top linebackers Jerod Mayo and Jamie Collins were hurt on Saturday, so there could be more holes to fill. DENVER: Peyton Manning came through with yet another winning drive, his 55th in the fourth quarter or overtime, extending one of the dozen NFL records he owns. Not to be overlooked, though, is it was the only touchdown march for Denver; stalling in the red zone is a formula for failure against the Patriots. Consistent pressure when Brady drops back to pass, as he will do from the outset next Sunday, also is required. Denver recognizes that, and also found it can provide it with a multi-dimension defense. In fact, the Broncos’ best chance of getting Manning to another and likely final Super Bowl is the D. That fact was hit home pointedly Trey Pickens rounded out the Tornadoes’ tally with two markers apiece. Southern netted six of its 18 field goals from behind the arc and also went 4-of-9 from the free throw line for 44 percent. against Pittsburgh. “Our confidence is perfect. We’re good,” cornerback Aqib Talib said. “We’re playing a team who we beat earlier in the year. We’re at home. We’re healthy. So, let’s get it.” CAROLINA: The Panthers saw what they lacked even as they were being schooled by the Seahawks: a finishing touch. Yes, they have the league’s top record at 16-1, but playing half a game or so isn’t going to cut it anymore. The Panthers seemed to wear down against Seattle, mentally and physically. An immaturity still exists in Carolina on both sides of the ball. “We have to find a way to complete a full game of football,” All-Pro quarterback Cam Newton said of his team turning 31-0 at halftime into a 31-24 thriller.” We have been known to take our foot off the throttle and we have to find that killer instinct. Yeah we won the football game, but there are some things we have to go back and fix and do better with.” Both teams return to league play Tuesday as Meigs hosts Vinton County and Southern travels to Waterford. Both contests will start at 6 p.m. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.
