Friday night roller skating will begin this Friday at the New Haven Community Center, according to Bernita Allen, volunteer community center manager. Skating at the center is a regular winter Courtesy photo Roller skating at the New Haven Community Center has become a popular winter activity, beginning shortly activity for Bend Area children. Friday night skating begins this week, 6 to 9 p.m., and after the holidays each year will continue through March 4. and continuing until March 4 when springtime activities, such as baseball, begin. “We began Friday night skating about six years ago to provide a fun activity for Bend Area youth,” Allen said. “It has grown every year, with an average of 125 attendees every Friday night. The function is operated solely with volunteers.” The skating is held from 6 to 9 p.m., and volunteers ask that all children be picked up by 9:15 p.m. Allen said elementary age through high school students can attend, as well as children under six years when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Petitions for the measure with signatures from Meigs County residents had been certiﬁed and sent to state ofﬁcials in December. The board was asked to re-review the documents; after the re-review, they upheld their original validation of the signatures, which were again certiﬁed and returned to the state. According to The Columbus Dispatch, supporters of legislation intended to lower pharmaceutical drug prices for Ohioans ﬁled 171,205 signatures of Ohio voters (91,677 valid signatures were needed) before the General Assembly in December. They are asking for the Ohio Drug Price Relief Act to be placed on the November 2016 ballot. The act would require state health programs pay the same or less for prescription medications than the prices negotiated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Ohio Drug Price Relief Act would prohibit the state from buying, either directly or indirectly, prescription drugs “unless the net cost is the same or less than the lowest price paid for the same drug by the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs.” According to the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the VA generally receives discounts of 20 percent to 24 percent for prescription drugs. Groups behind the citizen-initiated statue include Ohioans for Fair Drug Prices and the AIDS Health Care Foundation. The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America opposes the initiative. The move that required the board to re-certify the petitions was the result of a letter sent to the secretary of state’s ofﬁce by a law ﬁrm representing the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America in December. The group alleged that there were several issues with the petitions Ohioans for Fair Drug Prices had submitted.

The ﬁrst three years of a child’s life are the most critical for speech and language development because the brain is best able to absorb language during this period. That’s why it’s important to talk, listen, read, sing, and play games with young children and help teach important language skills that will last a lifetime. Research has shown that 90 percent of a child’s brain develops in the ﬁrst ﬁve years of life. The Ohio Department of Education has announced that all programs, including those licensed by the Department of Education and the Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS), are required to participate in Step Up To Quality, Ohio’s ﬁve-tier quality rating and improvement system for early learning and development programs.

Hemlock Grange discusses generations By Barb Fry For the Sentinel MEIGS COUNTY — Hemlock Grange met recently at the Grange Hall, with Rosalie Story opening the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance. A patriotic song was sung by all. Opal Grueser and Kim Romine gave reports on legislative and agricultural issues. Jim Fry gave a report on a solar light for the ﬂag at the former Rock Springs. Janice Weber talked about dogs for the deaf. She also told what was needed at deaf schools across Ohio. It was announced that 2016 dues are being collected. The year 2016 will also be the 100th year of the founding of Hemlock Grange. A discussion was held on different projects and programs that could be held. Kim Romine’s program was “The Six Living Generations in America.” GI Generation, born 1901-1926: They saved the world and then build a nation; marriage is for life; strong loyalty to jobs, groups and schools, Mature/silents, born 1927-1945: The ﬁrst hopeful drumbeats of civil rights; they are disciplined; self-sacriﬁcing and cautious. Baby Boomers, born 1946-1964: The “me” generation; self-righteous and self-centered. Generation X, born 1965-1980: The latch key kids; most are deep in credit card debt; feel misunderstood by other generations. Generation Y/Millennials, born 1981-2000 AKA “the 9/11 Generation; “echo boomers”; America’s next great generation brings a sharp departure from Generation X. They have been repeatedly told that they are special and they expect the world to treat them that way. Generation Z/Boomlets, born 2001 and after. Since the 1700s, the most common name in the U.S. was Smith. But not anymore. Now it’s Rodriguez. Four million have their own cell phones. Sixty one percent have televisions in their own rooms. They know what they want and how to get it. The February meeting will be preceded by a pizza dinner at 6:30 p.m. All members are welcome. In Memory of My Loving Husband Charles F.

The Jan. 19, 2015, collapse during demolition to remove an Interstate 75 ramp bridge just north of downtown Cincinnati killed Brandon Carl, of Augusta, Kentucky. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration determined a few months later that Carl died in a “preventable workplace accident” and ﬁned Kokosing Construction Co. Inc. $14,000, citing it for two serious safety violations. The Columbus-based contractor also completed its internal review last year, with CEO Brian Burgett acknowledging the company made an engineering mistake that may have contributed to the collapse and Carl’s subsequent death. But the Ohio Department of Transportation, which contracted with Kokosing for the demolition, hasn’t released any details of its ongoing analysis. A department spokesman says the report isn’t focused solely on the collapse, but is looking at overall ODOT construction processes. ODOT spokesman Brian Cunningham said the report may or may not result in any changes. “I can’t provide any speciﬁcs because we haven’t seen the report,” said Cunningham. He said there is no timetable for the report to be ﬁnished. He said Kokosing continues as a major contractor for the state on that project and others around Ohio. OSHA said the company corrected the violations and has been maintaining an agreement to use a third-party engineering ﬁrm to conduct bridge demolition engineering surveys. Kokosing spokesman John Householder said that practice is now standard procedure on all company demolition projects. He said Kokosing marked Tuesday’s anniversary of Carl’s death with a company-wide moment of silence. “Brandon and his family will always be in our thoughts and prayers, Householder said. Carl’s mother, Sharon Frye, said the anniversary of her son’s death was very difﬁcult for his family. “But I cry about everyday” said Frye, her voice breaking. While the Augusta, Kentucky, woman believes ODOT and Kokosing were negligent, Frye was satisﬁed with OSHA’s investigation and said Kokosing at least acknowledged it made a mistake. “Why the state’s report isn’t done is beyond me,” Frye said. “Even if they want to look at their overall construction processes, they should have released something by now. We deserve answers.” ODOT is named in one of two lawsuits charging negligence that was ﬁled on behalf of Carl’s estate. Cunningham said the state doesn’t comment on pending lawsuits. Kokosing hasn’t been sued. OSHP commander charged with stalking COLUMBUS (AP) — A State Highway Patrol post commander had an affair with a subordinate’s wife last year and stalked her after she ended it, including using a patrol vehicle to stop her for speeding, the Washington County sheriff said. Lt. William Elschlager from the Marietta post in southeast Ohio was charged with two felonies, menacing by stalking and abduction, related to that alleged trafﬁc stop, Sheriff Larry Mincks said. Elschlager, 46, didn’t enter a response to the charges at his initial court appearance Tuesday. He was described as cooperative and was to be released under electronic monitoring. His attorney, George Cosenza, said Wednesday they’ll defend against the allegations but that it’s too early in the process to comment on case details. Elschlager, an unmarried, 19-year patrol veteran, was arrested at home Sunday after the woman told the sheriff’s ofﬁce she feared for her safety because of Elschlager’s position and actions since their monthslong affair ended last year, Mincks said. As of Tuesday, investigators hadn’t found any citation issued for the alleged trafﬁc stop, Mincks said. The woman also reported that she had spotted Elschlager in her backyard and that he’d thrown Christmas presents against a home where she stayed, Mincks said. She said she visited Elschlager at the post to try to persuade him to leave her alone, but he continued to send her text messages, the sheriff said. Beyond the listed charges, Elschlager is under investigation for allegations including theft, telecommunications harassment and breaking and entering, Mincks said. The sheriff said he had no previous complaints involving Elschlager and that he’d had a good professional relationship with the commander. The woman’s husband had been a trooper for 3 1/2 years and worked out of Marietta when Elschlager became commander last July. The woman and her husband were in the process of getting a divorce, Mincks said. The woman’s husband resigned as a trooper in August amid an internal investigation into allegations that he’d falsiﬁed his weight during monthly tracking meant to ensure standards for troopers, said Lt. Craig Cvetan, a patrol spokesman. Elschlager will be on paid administrative leave as the patrol investigates whether he violated work rules, Cvetan said. He said the agency is cooperating with the investigation. The commander of the post in Zanesville will temporarily oversee the post in Marietta, Cvetan said.

Recycle this newspaper! �4 Friday, January 22, 2016 Truth is absolute in spiritual matters Generally, a personal goal for me is to not waste paper and ink by writing mere opinion (no matter how good an opinion I have of my own opinions). Instead, I try to keep my aim always that God will articulate His perfect truth through my life and this pen. Truth, of course, is the summation of that which is absolute. In other words, truth is true because it is both REALLY and THOROUGHLY true. Conversely, if “truth” is not “true” because it is inconsistent with someone’s attitudes or because it doesn’t jive with cultural shifts, then it isn’t true at all: it is, in the ﬁnal analysis, only opinion after all. Furthermore, if something is true, it is true regardless of whether or not anyone is willing A Hunger to acknowledge it as truth or is incapable of For More perceiving it as true. Truth is truth, even if I Thom will not or cannot comprehend and admit it. Mollohan Maybe you’ve heard the one about the tree falling in the forest. If it falls in the forest, and no one is there to observe it, does it make a sound? Since the word “sound” refers to the detection of a sonic vibration, perhaps it doesn’t make a sound if it falls and no one hears it. Nevertheless, if a tree falls in the forest … it still falls in the forest even if no one is there to witness the event. Seem like a silly topic? Well, hold on. The falling tree in the forest thing has been used to “illustrate” that truth is actually relative to the individual. It is reasoned that the “truth” of a sound produced is true only because someone was there to hear it. The line of reasoning follows then that spiritual and ethical things are true only if we can perceive and are willing to acknowledge them. Ergo, one set of spiritual or moral principles may be true of you but another person can operate under an entirely different set of moral and spiritual principles. And so you’ll perhaps hear, “Your truth is different from my truth so you live by your truth and I will live by my truth.” If a tree falls in the forest, it falls in the forest no matter my failure to recognize it. It is a fact and we may therefore make an absolute statement about it. Yes, it really fell in the forest. Moreover, when it fell, the energy released in its falling resulted in sonic vibrations: SOUND waves. We can split hairs and say that it didn’t make sounds because no one heard it, but it still produced those sound waves. A similar thing is (dare I say it?) “true” in the realm of the spiritual. If spiritual principles or moral imperatives are true, they are true. In fact, they are true even if I disagree with them or refuse to acknowledge them. And if something is not true then it is simply not true. Perhaps it is a blatant lie; maybe it’s a mistake; or even a joke. But it’s still not true. Most of us understand how this works in the matter of our taxes. A blatant lie in your year-end taxes could result in close encounters of the prison kind. Little mistakes or miscalculations can quickly turn into expensive penalties and ﬁnes. And, in case you’ve never noticed, the IRS doesn’t often appear to have much in the way of a sense of humor … unless, of course, they’re the ones making the jokes. As far as they’re concerned, if you owe taxes, you owe taxes. Denial, rationalizations to the contrary, and even goodnatured miscalculations cannot alter the fact that if you have to pay, then you have to pay … and you have to pay on their terms. Of course, let us point out that it is important to get to the WHOLE truth (who wants to pay more taxes than is necessary?), but if you were to believe that taxes were relative to your interpretation of them, you’ll ﬁnd yourself on a quick trip to some hard and humiliating times. This is why, when writing about spiritual matters, I make absolute claims in regard to God, His Word, the identity and mission of His Son, and the fallen nature of humanity. It is natural, of course, when one uses absolute terms to come into direct conﬂict with contrary claims and ideas. I acknowledge that not everyone will agree with me. But it is quite interesting that Jesus Himself spoke in absolute terms. And because He spoke in the absolutes that the truth supplies us, He spoke with authority. Real authority has a foundation of absolutes that undergird it. “… On the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and was teaching. And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes” (Mark 1:21-22 ESV). Why could He say that the things He taught “ARE” and not merely say that, “I THINK they are?” Because He knew them to be true. Any faithful agnostic (a person who believes that the existence of God, as well as truth in general, is not provable) will correctly point out that a God as transcendent as the One we Christians claim to believe in is unknowable: our ﬁnite human brains, even with amazing technologies, cannot perceive or grasp such an inﬁnite Being. But agnostics miss the point of the Christian understanding of God. We agree that we cannot know Him by any convention or means that we possess here on earth. But we don’t need to approach Him that way for He has chosen to reveal Himself in ways that we can understand. Small ways, perhaps, since we are beset with cognitive limitations and moral dementia, but reveal Himself He does. He has given us His Bible, the written word that records perfectly His living Word, Jesus. “He is the image of the invisible God, the ﬁrstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the ﬁrstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:15-20 ESV). So Jesus is not only an eyewitness to the way things REALLY are, but is also reality’s author. When He says in John 14:6, “… I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” He isn’t claiming to be the truth for some people but not others, He is claiming to BE truth… period. Thus, when He shares with us a principle of the Kingdom of God (e.g., “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again” in John 3:3) or a moral assessment (for example, “I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” from Matthew 5:28), He’s telling us “straight up” the way things really are. When He speaks, He tells us the truth. Therefore, while we still can, let us seek to be open and receptive to His graceful administrations and permit His Spirit of Truth to “guide us into all truth” (from John 16:13).

She could get me to get things done that needed to be done while letting me think “we” are doing it. Does that make sense? It does, however, get us to consider a certain spiritual matter: “we” do the same thing type of thing to God. Case in point: we say to God, “We need to get more money.” What we actually are saying is that you, God, should supply the winning numbers, and that I will take what you have supplied for me so I can play the lottery. Praying that God help you win the lottery is ridiculous because God does not want you to depend on the providence of man, but on His Providence. We say to God, “You, God, heal me of my cancer, and I will keep on living the way I want to live.” Too many people want the good of God without commitment to the good God. Such a strategy may be effective with me, but God is not fooled at all. He will remember every time you tried it just to get your way instead of doing things His way, and He will hold you accountable for it. In the meantime, do I plan on calling Terry’s hand on her ruse? Nah, I love the woman. It is fun to cooperate with her little game. Besides, I like the snacky-snacks. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Work toward a successful life What makes a life successful? Is it dying while in possession of a great deal of money? Is it having a large family at your bedside in your ﬁnal moments? Is it having buildings dedicated to you after you have left this mortal coil, or perhaps being ‘immortalized’ in stone? The way we deﬁne a successful life will likely contribute to the manner in which we arrange our priorities. If success is measured by money, then it is reasonable to seek out the best paying job one can ﬁnd and devote one’s self fully to that endeavor. If it is familial ties which matter most, then it is more reasonable to seek out, at an early age, a good spouse, have children, and seek to raise them in a loving way so as to create a stable family situation. If one thinks that statues or buildings with one’s image or name on them is the pinnacle of human achievement, then a career in either the military and/or politics seems to be in order. However, in contemplating a successful life, the Bible points us in a different direction from any of those already mentioned. The Scriptures remind us that it is appointed men to die, and after that death, there will be a judgment. (cf. Hebrews 9:27). On that day, when we die, In a similar manwhat will matter ner, Jesus warns will not be the opinions of men, against making it nor the accolades our goal to ‘be seen we received from of men.’ (cf.

Matthew Christ through obedience 6:19-21) to the Gospel of Christ. (cf. Romans 10:12-13; Acts 22:16) Unfortunately, many people give lip service to wanting to be in heaven, and caring about a spiritual reward, but when it comes down to making choices about what matters most, they opt for those things they can see, material rewards; never-mind that such rewards are ﬂeeting and, once we die, they are gone and we can beneﬁt from them nevermore. The apostle John reminds us not to love the world, or the things of the world; for those material things, and the lust thereof, are not from God, and the world is going to be taken from us, being destroyed. But the man who does the will of God will live forever. (cf. 1 John 2:15-17) Each of us needs to think well and hard about how we deﬁne a successful life, and then apply ourselves to making it happen. Only those who apply themselves to obedience to God in all things are going to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant … enter into the joys of your Lord.” (cf. Matthew 25:21) For those who want to learn how to be pleasing to God, the church of Christ invites you to study with us, at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Friday, January 22, 2016 Daily Sentinel NASCAR expands Chase format to other 2 national series use a seven-race Chase to decide their champions. The Cup series uses a 10-race format. All three series will crown a champ at Homestead-Miami Speedway. However, all three will begin at different tracks: Chicago (Sprint Cup), Kentucky (Xﬁnity) and New Hampshire (Trucks). France said the change will prepare the sport’s young drivers for the challenges of winning a championship at the Sprint Cup level. “I think it’s important that they understand how difﬁcult it’s going to be when they get to the next level,” France said. “Certainly, it makes it more exciting for our fans. Fans love elimination style and emphasis on wins. I think for the drivers, I think it’s important to get conditioned to what it’s going to take . to handle the next level.” There will be 12 drivers eligible for the Xﬁnity Chase, which will then be whittled to eight drivers and conclude with a ﬁnal four championship race at Homestead. In Trucks, the format is eight drivers cut down to six and then a ﬁnal four at Homestead. NASCAR said the 16 Sprint Cup drivers who qualiﬁed for last year’s Chase will not be eligible to compete in the lowertier championship races. That eliminates Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, 60576582 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR is expanding its Chase format to include its feeder series, meaning the champions from the Xﬁnity and Truck Series will now be crowned in a four-driver shootout at the season ﬁnale. The format announced Tuesday by NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France mostly mirrors the playoff-style setup used to determine the Sprint Cup champion the last two years. That system has 16 drivers race through three rounds of eliminations to establish a ﬁeld of four in which the highest ﬁnisher in the ﬁnale wins the championship. The Xﬁnity and Camping World Truck Series will Check out the ﬁve-day forecast on the weather page or online at Gallia From Page 6 Wildcats From Page 6 brought to you by About Your GOALS others had lengthy weather delays. The start of the season ﬁnale was delayed, and the event at Phoenix that decided the championship ﬁeld was called before its completion, denying drivers a chance to race their way into the ﬁnale. “There is no pressing thing that I would like to see get resolved. We have really worked at things that were out in front of us that we thought we could improve on in the industry,” he said. “But we can’t do anything about the rain, other than we can probably add some more Air Titans (jet dryers) over time to speed it up, but hopefully we’ll get a little break on that in 2016.” Others topics covered Tuesday: — France said he is “very optimistic” that NASCAR and Sprint Cup teams will come to an agreement on a charter system that will give owners more economic security. — Sprint is in the ﬁnal year of its contract as title sponsor of NASCAR’s top series, but France was conﬁdent a replacement will Church rounded out the scoring with two markers apiece. The hosts netted four of their 14 ﬁeld goals from three-point territory and Mydailytribune.com Mydailyregister.com Mydailysentinel.com Let’s Talk Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano — drivers who often moonlight in at least the Xﬁnity Series — from participating in the season ﬁnale. Other changes announced for the two lower series Tuesday include: — A caution clock for the Truck Series. The clock will be set to 20 minutes and triggered at the start of each green-ﬂag run. When the clock reaches zero, the caution ﬂag will be displayed. The clock will be restarted when the green ﬂag reappears. — In the Xﬁnity Series, the four “Dash 4 Cash” races will include two heat races and a main event. Results of the heat races will set the starting ﬁeld for the main. The ﬁelds for the heat races will be set via qualifying. Those races are at Bristol, Richmond, Dover and Indianapolis. Meanwhile, France said he is so optimistic about the upcoming season that rain is NASCAR’s most pressing concern. Two races last year were postponed a day, while several four and Tyler McCutcheon had three.

NASCAR experimented with several different packages before settling on one that everyone hopes will improve passing opportunities. — International Speedway Corp. is eyeing Phoenix and Richmond as the next two tracks in need of capital improvements. “It’s so important to continue to modernize these tracks and to be able to bring the modern-day amenities and comforts into these tracks,” said ISC CEO Lesa France Kennedy. went just 1-of-4 at the charity stripe for 25 percent.
