CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia
politicians must stop the “political platitudes and
lip service” and take immediate action if they want
to save coal mining jobs in the state, according the
nation’s largest underground coal mining operator.
Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy Corp.,
called on state legislators to cut West Virginia’s
severance tax on coal from 5 to 2 percent
during his keynote speech for the 43rd annual
West Virginia Mining Symposium, held at
the Charleston Civic Center, Wednesday and
Thursday.
“Only immediate action to reduce the state’s
tax on coal extraction will help protect” the coal
jobs remaining in West Virginia, Murray said,
speaking to coal industry representatives gathered
just blocks away from the state Capitol where
legislators are in session.
As keynote speaker, Murray followed West
Virginia Senate President Bill Cole and Speaker
of the House of Delegates Tim Armstead to the
podium and called on both legislative leaders to
hear his message.
“Past West Virginia leadership carried the
state’s ﬁnances on the back of coal,” Murray said,
urging the current leadership to stop talking about
the importance of coal jobs in the state and take
action to save those jobs.
Eliminating just the current 56-cent a ton tax
on coal added on to bail out the state’s workers’
compensation fund — as has been discussed this
legislative session — will not be enough to make
West Virginia competitive with Indiana, Illinois
and Pennsylvania, which have no severance tax, or
Ohio and Maryland where the tax is less than 15
cents a ton. West Virginia’s current severance tax
is $2.81 a ton, Murray said.
The current 5 percent severance tax is a
hardship on West Virginia coal companies and
puts them at a disadvantage with other states
competing for the same market, Murray said,
telling those assembled that on New Year’s Eve,
Murray Energy “made a $7.5 million severance
tax payment to West Virginia and simultaneously
was forced to lay off another 675 miners,” most at
West Virginia mines.
There are currently 49 bankrupt coal companies
in the United States, according to Murray’s
presentation, and 27 of them are in West Virginia.
Speaking earlier, Cole and Armstead told those
assembled of the state’s ﬁnancial woes. Cole said
he fears the state budget deﬁcit in the current
ﬁscal year could reach $450 million. The current
estimate is at $353 million, Cole said, explaining
that ﬁgure “is probably light.”
West Virginia’s original deﬁcit estimate was
$250 million, with a $190 million decline in
severance taxes, Cole said, adding he knew it
would be much greater than $250 million because
if severance is down, other revenue - payroll taxes,
spending, sales taxes — would also be down. The
ﬁrst estimate didn’t estimate the impact of losing
coal mine jobs correctly in Cole’s opinion.
Murray generated discussion during his speech
by presenting estimates that each coal mine job
in West Virginia generates between $1.2 million
(a WV Coal Association ﬁgure) and $6.3 million
(a Murray Energy ﬁgure) in annual economic
activity.
While Murray spoke about the accuracy of his
accounting ﬁrm’s numbers, many people on social
media, who were following postings about the coal
symposium, began challenging the ﬁgures. Murray

Richelle Hecker, Meigs High School’s only Spanish teacher, shows off the Pulsera Project bracelets (Pulsera means bracelet in Spanish)
she is currently selling in her classroom. The bracelets are $6 each, with $5 going towards the benefit of the Nicaraguan employees, and
$1 going towards a Spanish fund that will allow Spanish students to visit the Mexican market in Columbus.

Pulsera Project comes to Pomeroy
By Lindsay Kriz
lkriz@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — In 2009,
a group of American
students on a trip to
Nicaragua met artists
living at the foothills
of the country who
were gifted at weaving
pulseras, which is
Spanish for bracelet.
However these artists
had no market in which
to sell their products. So
when they left a few of
these American students
brought the bracelets
with them to sell.
And seven years
and nearly 2.5 million
bracelets later the Pulsera
Project has made it to
Meigs Local High School.
Richelle Hecker, Meigs
High School Spanish
teacher, said she heard
about the project from a
friend a few years ago,
and decided to contact
the company about
selling the bracelets in
her classroom.
The bracelets have
only been on sale since
Monday, Jan. 25, and as

The weaving done for each bracelet is intricate but eventually can eventually become second nature
to an employee, Hecker said. She also had a small assortment of bracelets made in Uganda out of
recycled paper. Bracelets are being made in Honduras as well.

of Thursday afternoon
about $650 worth of
bracelets had been
sold. The bracelets will
continue to be sold at
Meigs Local until Feb.
21. She said she thought
the timing was perfect,
as some of her students

are studying celebrations
in Spanish-speaking
countries. In these
countries Valentines
Day is seen as more
of a day to celebrate
both romantic love and
friendship, and that the
purchase of friendship

bracelets around this
time worked perfectly.
Each bracelet also comes
with a tag showing the
portrait and signature of
the person who created
the item.

“I used to live in

for a surge in government spending and
asked Congress to throw out the sweeping spending cuts both parties agreed

Hecker said that so
far about 566 schools in
the United States have
participated with the
project, and she’s proud
that Meigs High School is
one of those. In particular,
she said she’s proud of how
well he students have taken
up the cause at hand.
“It’s resonated with the
students a lot more than
I thought it would,” she
said.
She also commended the
enormous talent of those
who weave the bracelets.
“They are very
intricate,” she said.
“(People) see them and
they look very easy to
make, but the strings are
long and have intricate
details. However, once

they get good enough, (the
employees) can weave
while talking to you.”
Along with selling
the bracelets in the
classroom, Hecker said
she’s entrusted certain
students to sell bracelets
outside of class, and even
invites individuals to
check in with the school
during the day for bracelet
purchasing, or talk to a
high school student about
the purchase of one.
Bracelets can be purchased
by cash or a check made
out to Meigs Local High
School.

it is that God calls you to do in

to Jeremiah, “Don’t say, ‘I can’t!’”
If God calls you to do something,
He will reach out His hand and
touch your life to give you the
ability to do it.
Let’s say a prayer. Dear Father,
there may be some things in this
life that we think we just cannot
do, but we know that if You ask us
to do it, You will give us the ability
to do so if we will just trust in You.

always with us and will help us do
what You call us to do. Amen.

A second point to make
about sober-thinking,
derived from Titus 2:12,
is this: it requires curbing
our impulses. Speciﬁcally,
it requires that we turn

is destructive and harmful,
its wages is death, and all
who succumb to it will perish eternally, deprived of a
place in glory (cf. Romans
3:16-17, 6:23; John 8:21,
24) Thus did Jesus warn
that unless men repented,
they would perish (cf.
Luke 13:3, 5).
If we give in to all our
carnal desires, renouncing
the righteous behavior of
God, we have left the path
of wisdom and salvation,
and are trodding the sure
and easy path that leads to
destruction. (cf. Matthew
7:13-14) How much smarter is the man who instead
renounces the things of
this world and submits
himself to the commands
of the Lord? (cf. Matthew
7:24-27) Such a man is
exhibiting both great wisdom and sound judgment.

For a moment, consider Jesus’ call for you to follow Him as
Lord of your life.
For a minute, consider how you’d respond if He came to
you, placed His nail-scarred hand upon your shoulder and
invited you to “get up” and follow Him. Would you do it? Is
His eternal love for you sufﬁcient for you to

enough for you to bow your head before Him
and say, “All right, Lord. Not my will but

would be laughable. “Follow Me,” Jesus says.
For More
And not only does this Jesus person have the
Thom
audacity to just waltz up to Matthew’s table
Mollohan
and utter what seems to be the most ridiculous
invitation he’s ever heard, the Man also just
turns and walks away as if He really expects Matthew to simply hop up from his table and run after Him.
And yet… Matthew thinks of all he’s heard about Jesus.
The famous Teacher heals sick people, gives sight to blind
men, and even rebukes evil spirits with stern authority. “Yes,
there’s something different about this Man,” Matthew muses.
“He’s so much more than a carpenter.” He sighs as he looks
at the money on the table before him piled up in neat little
columns. Beside them are stacks of ledger parchment recording the taxes paid by his fellow Judeans.
The gold just doesn’t seem as shiny to Matthew anymore.
Its yellow surface now seems sickly and pale compared to the
light that he’s seen in Jesus’ face. He thinks about the direction his own life has taken and he isn’t sure that he likes it.
Every day he gets up, gets dressed, comes to work, puts up
with difﬁcult bosses and faces down a hostile public. He sighs
again. No, he deﬁnitely doesn’t like it anymore. What’s more,
he doesn’t like who he is anymore either.
His eyes slowly raise from where they have long gazed at
piles of money on his little table. They now begin to focus on
the ﬁgure of the only One Who holds the door to change. No,
more than just a simple change. A transformation. Suddenly,
Matthew’s mind is emptied of any more thought of gold. His
eyes remain locked upon the Master, almost unable to look
anywhere else. His body now seems to take a life of its own,
separated from his previous shallowness, and slowly pushes
away from his table and brings him to his feet. Unaccountably, he ﬁnds himself in pursuit of Jesus.
He would never have dreamed earlier that morning that he
would abruptly be chucking his career to accept an invitation
to go out into the wide world alongside the One that some
called “Messiah”. On the one hand, it seems like madness.
Matthew’s old sensibilities feebly attempt to deter him from
what he is about to do. On the other, the rays of love and
glory are unmistakable in the glance of Jesus. Matthew cannot now be deterred.
He picks up his pace, rushing through the crowd so that he
may walk beside Jesus. Without a single glance behind him,
Matthew leaves behind his old life, his old dreams, his sin
and selﬁshness and starts out on a journey that will not only
leave him forever a changed man, but will be used by God to
change the fates of millions of others in generations to come.
Later, although the scope of what is happening in his life
cannot possibly be realized, he knows simply that Jesus has
changed his life forever. To Matthew’s mind come the images
of his old friends and associates, “tax collectors” and “sinners”. Here indeed are people only too used to dislike, rejection and failure. Do they have any hope of being accepted by
God? Morally and spiritually, they were the lowest of the low,
traitors to God and to their own people.
But hadn’t Jesus accepted Matthew? Hadn’t Matthew’s
faith in this Savior’s grace and authority to forgive sin made a
new man of him? “If Jesus did it for me, maybe He will do it
for them,” Matthew decides.
In short order, Matthew hosts a party with Jesus as the
guest of honor. Matthew’s old cronies and old colleagues
show up in force. Aside from the free food, these societal
rejects have a curiosity of this Teacher Who doesn’t spurn
them or ﬁnd fault with them. He doesn’t need to point out
the sin in their lives for they know it all too well. Instead,
they come and, as Matthew had hoped, they ﬁnd grace.
Oh, but then those who don’t seem to really understand
grace crash the party. Matthew bites his ﬁngernails nervously, hoping against all hope that they’ll just go away. Always
they look down their long and haughty noses at him and his
friends, snifﬁng contemptuously as if they aren’t even worth
looking upon.
“Will they shame Jesus into leaving?” he tortuously wonders. “Will they embarrass my friends? Will my friends turn
from God because of this? Will Jesus even forsake me?” A sick
feeling emanates from his stomach and he feels himself turning
pale, the blood rushing from his head to the bottom of his feet.
But Jesus glances over at Matthew, gives him a quick wink,
and then turns to face the prickly party-poopers. “Why do I
eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” He says, echoing their question. He smiles at them gently, grace radiating
from His countenance to these who will not see it. “It is not
the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick,” He answers.
“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (from Luke 5:30-31). His detractors blink stupidly for
a moment, wondering if there’s a hidden rebuke in what had
just been said to them. While they puzzle over their encounter with Jesus, trying to think of stinging rebuttals, Matthew
smiles inwardly for he knows how true are the words just
spoken by the Lord. Matthew had been, only a short time
before, one of those who are “sick” – sick of heart, sick in
their soul, sick both spiritually and morally. Only an invitation from Jesus to “get up” and follow had altered his destiny
from destruction and despair to that of life and hope.
Now, as our imagination returns to the here and now,
I once again ask you to consider Jesus’ call for you to
follow Him as Lord of your life. I again implore you to
consider how you’d respond if He came to you, placed His
nail-scarred hand upon your shoulder and invited you to
“get up” and follow Him. Would you do it? Isn’t His love
enough? Isn’t His majesty sufﬁcient?
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born
again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undeﬁled,
and unfading, kept in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:3-4 ESV).

from intoxicants. It is the
word used, for instance,
in 1 Peter 5:8, 2 Timothy
4:5 and 1 Thessalonians
5:6. Those who sometimes
argue that the Bible does
not speak against the use
of alcohol as a beverage
would do well to consider
this Greek word and what
it means.
But the other word
translated as “sober”
in English is the Greek
word “sophron” and it
refers not to an absence of
intoxicating substances,
but instead denotes the
presence of a soundness of
thought. That is, the ﬁrst
word warns against those
substances which remove
our ability to think, but
the second word refers to
the self-control and selfdiscipline which enables us
to think properly.
Consider for instance
this passage of Scripture:
“For by the grace given
to me I say to everyone
among you not to think
of himself more highly
than he ought to think,
but to think with sober
judgment, each according
to the measure of faith
that God has assigned.”
(Romans 12:3; ESV)

Athens ladies upset River Valley Raiders, 41-34
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

BIDWELL — For the River
Valley Lady Raiders, this
one simply had to be a headscratcher.
Too many missed shots, too
many turnovers, and 14 missed
free throws threw a wrench
into the Lady Raiders’ plans
on Wednesday night, as visiting Athens upset River Valley
41-34 in a Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division girls basketball makeup matchup.
Athens never trailed in the
contest, and Alexis McCollum
clinched the win with four critical made foul shots in the ﬁnal
minute and three seconds.
With the loss, the Raiders fell
to 8-10 — unfortunately having
dropped eight of their last nine
games.
River Valley fell to 4-6 in the
TVC-Ohio, while the Bulldogs
improved to 3-6 in the league,
part of 4-12.
The game was postponed
from Monday night due to
inclement weather.
The Raiders had defeated
Athens 49-33 on Dec. 14 at
Athens’ McAfee Gymnasium.
River Valley actually almost
came back and captured the
win, but by an inability to make
free throws and by missing
many makeable opportunities,
that rally fell short.
The Raiders went 10-of-24

from the foul line, missing
seven of nine attempts in the
fourth quarter alone.
Athens itself only made
15-of-28, but Emma Harter hit
4-of-6 in the ﬁrst half, followed
by McCollum making her ﬁnal
four in the ﬁnal minute.
In a foul-ﬁlled affair, the
Raiders committed 23 and the
Bulldogs 22, as Athens only
made a dozen total ﬁeld goals
and the Raiders 11.
With both clubs in the double
bonus free-throw situation for
the ﬁnal minute-and-a-half,
McCollum canned the second
of two with 1:03 left to make it
37-33.
After Tianna Qualls split a
pair for River Valley with 44
seconds to play, McCollum
again split a front-and-back
with 36 seconds — with the
second one sinking to make it
38-34.
It was then Lauren Abdella’s
turn at the foul line, as River
Valley’s Courtney Smith missed
a three-point attempt with 15
seconds to play — and Abdella
converted the second of yet
another two freebies.
Finally, following a Raider
turnover, McCollum sealed the
win with two more made tosses
with 4.6 seconds left.
Harter, who had four ﬁeld
goals over the opening three
quarters, led the Bulldogs with
a dozen points.
Taylor Gregory, whose back-

to-back threes gave Athens its
largest lead (23-9) with 3:24 to
play in the second stanza, netted nine along with McCollum.
McCollum made both of her
ﬁeld goals in the opening eight
minutes.
Sophie Miller muscled two
ﬁeld goals and 2-of-4 free throws
towards six points, while Abdella added a fourth-quarter ﬁeld
goal and Katie Johnson two
second-period free throws.
Athens is also playing without Claire DeBruin, one of its
former starters who is out with
a concussion.
Athens led 11-7, 26-16 and
30-23 at the end of each quarter, as the Raiders — following
the ﬁrst period — came no
closer than three points twice
(36-33 and 37-34).
The Bulldogs also withstood
a second-half scoring drought,
which spanned from the twominute mark of the third canto
to the 5:45 point of the fourth.
Athens only scored four
points in the third, including a
Harter basket and McCollum’s
ﬁrst free throw.
Gregory bookended that
drought with her free throw in
the third and an inside deuce in
the last.
The Raiders’ drought of their
own, however, was worse.
River Valley endured a ﬁveminute scoreless second period, in which Athens answered
with eight unanswered includ-

over the ﬁnal three periods.
Jaden Neal — on a ﬁeld goal
and 2-of-2 free throws — chipped
in four, while Carly Gilmore
gained a ﬁeld goal in the third.

Erin Jackson hit both of the Silver and Black’s three-pointers, en

three free throws, and Smith a
trio of ﬁeld goals.

SEC seeking respect, prepares
to match up with Big 12
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — This
weekend’s Big 12/SEC Challenge offers a
midseason opportunity for both leagues:
The Southeastern Conference has a
chance to improve its national perception,
while the Big 12 seeks to solidify its status
as the nation’s top basketball conference.
“We’ll see if stepping outside the league
and playing some really good teams from
a really great league can help us in our
standing for pursuit of NCAA Tournament berths,” Vanderbilt coach Kevin
Stallings said.
Saturday’s schedule includes Vanderbilt
at Texas, No. 9 West Virginia at Florida,
No. 14 Iowa State at No. 5 Texas A&amp;M,
Ole Miss at Kansas State, Tennessee at
TCU, Texas Tech at Arkansas, No. 1 Oklahoma at LSU, Georgia at No. 17 Baylor,
No. 20 Kentucky at No. 4 Kansas and
Oklahoma State at Auburn.
The SEC enters the weekend with
much to prove.
Although Kentucky added the nation’s
top recruiting class and LSU has the likely
No. 1 overall draft pick in freshman Ben
Simmons, the SEC could have a tough
time matching last season’s total of ﬁve
NCAA Tournament bids. SEC teams have

a combined 13-29 record against other
Power 5 schools this season (4-5 against
the Big 12, 8-11 against the Atlantic Coast
Conference, 0-7 against the Big Ten and
1-6 against the Pac-12).
The SEC’s only Top 25 teams are Texas
A&amp;M and Kentucky, which was ranked
No. 1 early in the season. Only four of the
SEC’s 14 members are in the top 50 of
the RPI: Texas A&amp;M (13th), Kentucky
(18th), South Carolina (26th) and Florida
(28th).
In the Big 12, half of the league’s 10
teams are ranked 17th or higher: Oklahoma, Kansas, West Virginia, Iowa State
and Baylor. Seven Big 12 members are in
the top 50 of the RPI: Oklahoma (1st),
Kansas (6th), Iowa State (8th), West Virginia (16th), Texas (21st), Baylor (23rd)
and Texas Tech (37th).
“I think it’s maturity,” Texas Tech
coach Tubby Smith said of his league’s
strength. The Big 12 has “a lot of
returning players. Talented returning players on most teams. Excellent
coaches from top to bottom. Great
coaches in this league. Those are the
main ingredients. And then the depth
that we have in the Big 12.”

Adkins ﬁnished with a
game-high 18 points and 11
assists to lead the winning
effort for WVU-Tech, while
Savannah Shamblin added 17
points and seven assists of her
own and Alexandra Combs
ﬁnished with 13 points and a
team-high seven rebounds.
Courtney Fisher and Julie
Conway had 12 and 10 points,
respectively, to complete
the Golden Bears’ quintet of
double-digit scorers. Adkins,
Combs and Fisher shared team
honors with three steals each.
Rio Grande, which equaled
or surpassed the 25-turnover
mark for the sixth time this
season by committing 26 miscues, also had ﬁve players ﬁnish in double ﬁgures.
Freshman Jaida Carter (New
Philadelphia, OH) led the
group with 17 points, while

they don’t have any weak

It was a lead that head coach Ken

Rio Grande pushed its advantage to six
points at halftime and into double ﬁgures,
52-42, following a three-pointer by junior
Corey Cruse (Fort Mitchell, KY) with
15:12 remaining in the contest.
The RedStorm’s lead twice dwindled to
four points, including 70-66 after a trifecta
by Matthew Kallead with 2:59 left, but Rio
closed the game on an 11-2 run to take its
largest cushion of the night with the ﬁnal
margin of victory.
Bazemore, a senior center from Columbus, Ohio, did all of his damage in just 17
