Cleland said this can include the walkability of paths from one’s home to their workplace. “We’re trying to address interruptions in sidewalks or inadequate sidewalks while also taking into consideration where there are no sidewalks, where there should be, and looking into outside funding that villages can apply for to repair the sidewalks.” The department is working with Pomeroy to expand A scene from last year’s farmer market.

POMEROY — Meigs County Commissioners on Thursday heard from guest speaker Duane Wolfe, whose wife, Brenda, died of peritoneal cancer Aug. 17, 2013, less than a month after her diagnosis. Peritoneal cancer is a disease of the moist tissue that covers the abdominal cavity and the entire surface of all organs in the abdomen, according to the Foundation for Women’s Cancer. This type of cancer is rare and usually occurs in women. According to Wolfe, this type of cancer is also more difficult to detect in early stages because of the symptoms, which include constipation or diarrhea, the feeling of being full after taking in only a little food, the feeling of being bloated, weight loss or weight gain, nausea, pain in the lower abdomen, and loss of appetite — feelings that anyone, especially women, will most likely feel in their lifetimes. Wolfe told commissioners that after his wife’s passing he fell into deep grief and it took him a while to See CANCER | 6A POMEROY — Secretary of State State Jon Husted has appointed James V. Stewart as a member of the Meigs County Board of Elections. Stewart was recommended by the Meigs County Republican Executive Committee to fill the unexpired term of Edward Durst, who retired Dec. 28.

The BOE is governed by a four-person board; bipartisan representation is required by state law with each board made up of two Republican members and two Democratic members who are qualified electors in the counties where they serve. The secretary of state makes appointments to boards of elections based on the recommendations of the executive committees of the county political parties. In addition, the office provides training for board of elections members and staff, as well as legal guidance, elections procedures and campaign finance information. The Meigs County Board of Elections members, in addition to Stewart, are Charles Williams, Rita Slavin and David Fox. Director Rebecca Johnston, Deputy Director Meghan Lee and Clerk Angie Robson are also part of the BOE. The board wants to remind voters that the last day for Meigs County residents to register to vote in the March 15 primary election is Feb. 16; voter registration will officially close at 9 p.m. on that date. People may still register to vote after the cut-off date, but will not be eligible to vote in the primary.

Fenton died at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Huntington, W.Va., from a sudden, massive hemorrhagic stroke. Fenton was born Oct. 14, 1943, in Marietta, Ohio. He grew up in Williamstown, W.Va., and was a son to Walter and Mary Fenton Taylor. After high school, Fenton attended W.Va. Wesleyan College in Buckhannon. He majored in education, played football as an offensive guard, joined Theta Chi fraternity and met his wife, Jeannie. Fenton began his career at Meigs High School in 1967 as a physical education teacher and assistant football coach. Shortly thereafter, Fenton became the assistant principal, while continuing to coach football as well as supervising the Student Council and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Fenton became the high school principal in 1987 and retired in 1998, after serving 31 years for Meigs Local School District. After retirement, Fenton remained passionate about working with kids and serving his community. He served as an Alternative School coordinator and mentor to countless students throughout the county for several years. Currently, Fenton was highly active as a youth leader at his home church, New Beginnings United Methodist Church in Pomeroy. He was also the chairperson of the church council; a community organizer and volunteer with the Prayer Task Force in Pomeroy; a member and supporter of the Bend Area Celebrate Recovery program; and the proud grandpa to his 11 grandchildren. Fenton is survived by his loving wife of 47 years, Jeannie (Trainer); his son and daughterin-law Greg and Patty (Duffy); daughter and son-in-law Jody and Wess Howard; daughter and son-in-law Jennifer and Michael Bartrum; his grandchildren Breanna, Kaitlyn, and Garrett Taylor; Dillon, Wade, Wyatt and Luke Howard, and Cody, Zach, Ty and Taylor Bartrum; his brothers and sisters-in-law Tom and Jet Taylor and Howard “Butch” and Brenda Taylor; his mother-in-law Dorothy V. Trainer; and many other relatives, including special son Robbie Jacks, brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, cousins, as well as countless friends and associates. The family has planned a celebration of Fenton’s life for this Sunday, Feb. 7, from 2-5 p.m. at Meigs Elementary, 36871 SR 124, Middleport, OH 45760. The family will receive friends from 2-4 p,m. with a program beginning at 4 p.m. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please choose from one of the following options: Donate to the Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation (MLEF, PO Box 173, Pomeroy, OH 45769), of which Fenton was a staunch supporter; donate to the New Beginnings United Methodist Church Youth Camp & Conference Fund (112 E 2nd St, Pomeroy, OH 45769), which he fully supported; donate to the local Bend Area Celebrate Recovery program (c/o Laura Withrow, 3091 SR 124, Racine, OH 45771), where he volunteered; or please “Pay It Forward” with a Random Act of Kindness, which he demonstrated on a daily basis. Fenton’s Celebration of Life will be of a casual nature. Marauder attire and jeans would be completely appropriate and welcome. We will have a table set up for you to bring and drop off or write down any special memories you have to share with the family. Also, a table will be set up to accept the (in lieu of flower) donations (or they can be mailed to the provided addresses). Again, the family requests donations instead of flowers knowing Fenton would have wanted it that way. Dateline NBC 20/20 Interviews and hardhitting investigative reports.

OHIO STATE BRIEFS 2 men killed in separate encounters with trains in Ohio CANTON (AP) — Police say two men have been killed in separate encounters with trains in northeast Ohio this week. Authorities say 51-year-old Anthony Nichols was killed Thursday morning when he drove his SUV around the crossing gate and it was hit by a speeding train in Barberton. On Wednesday afternoon in Canton, police say a man on the tracks was hit and killed by a train. Police say he may have been laying on the tracks. His name hasn’t been released. Drug-price proposal sent to Ohio lawmakers to consider COLUMBUS (AP) — A proposal aimed at controlling the price Ohio pays for prescription drugs has been sent to state lawmakers for consideration. Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted said Thursday that the so-called Drug Price Relief Act has the signatures required to advance to the General Assembly. The proposal is aimed at keeping state agencies from paying more for a prescription drug than the negotiated price paid by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. A similar plan qualified for California’s 2016 ballot. Ohio lawmakers have four months to consider the proposed law. Backers could then try to put the initiative before voters. Supporters, who include the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, have sued Husted after he ordered a re-review of their petition signatures. Husted says the review led to thousands of invalidated signatures. Senate candidate’s father, aide’s family give to super PAC COLUMBUS (AP) — Federal reports show more than half the money raised last year for U.S. Senate candidate P.G. Sittenfeld by a super PAC came from the Ohio Democrat’s father and a campaign aide’s family. Cleveland.com reports that the New Leadership for Ohio super PAC promoting Sittenfeld’s campaign raised $735,001 as of Dec. 31. The federal reports show that $100,000 of that came from the candidate’s father and another $325,000 dame from the family of Sittenfeld’s deputy campaign manager. The records also show that more than 95 percent of the money donated to the super PAC as of Dec. 31 came from Cincinnati-area donors with only one Ohio donor from outside the southwestern part of the state. Sittenfeld is seeking the Democratic nomination over former Gov. Ted Strickland in the March primary.

As we turned with the road in one of its many curves, my wife suddenly grabbed my arm and exclaimed, “Did you see that buffalo?” “No,” I replied. “I didn’t see any buffalo. Are you sure you saw a buffalo? There aren’t any buffalo around here.” And while I waxed eloquently on and on about buffalo not living in the area, she sat quietly and looked ahead, smiling. The road curved back again and by the road we came upon a huge wooden gate and above it a big sign that read, “Grandfather’s Hill. Horseback riding and petting zoo. Come and see our friendly bears and buffalo.” Grandfather’s Hill was not its real name. They should have mentioned crow, too, since that was what I was eating. Anyway, I pulled our car into their parking lot and we got out. After we had walked around a bit, looking at the various animal exhibits, we finally went into the main building which housed a gift shop. While my wife and son looked around, I was irresistibly drawn to a large cage that stood in an open area towards the back. Inside the cage was a small black bear, probably in its adolescence. It sat on its rear haunches looking forlorn and I found myself feeling sorry for it. “Oh, it’s lonely,” I thought as I approached it. “How ya doin’, buddy?” I gently said the bars and was almost to it as I neared it. “Are touching its leg. you feeling forgotten?

Feeling encouraged, my really are beset with pain and hand started to reach through sorrow, and are best left alone. Still, the good news is that God has truly caged our spiritual enemy and limited its ability to daunt and control us. It is caged and we are free. “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit” (Romans 8:1-4 ESV). One of the great truths of God is that His love and power are relevant to every day life. It is His love that moved His Godsized heart to bear the Cross in our place. It is His power that binds the universal law of sin (which is that sin in all men and women will be judged) to its being satisfied by the laying down of Jesus’ sinless life for our sakes, securing for us a beautiful certainty that through faith in Christ, we are forgiven and set free from its power. Not only so, but it works to tame the “wild beast” within each of us though our selfishness sometimes shows its fangs and clicks its claws when it gets an opportunity. Let us be careful then to not “wander” into the reach of our less-thanheavenly impulses. Let us steer clear of actions, words, and attitudes within ourselves that will rend and tear our spiritual growth and hamper our joy and peace as God’s children. And although such things cannot shake us loose from God’s grace and are truly caged by God’s authority, let us take care that we avoid the snares and pitfalls that can injure our fruitfulness as messengers of the hope of the Gospel. “Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry … But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony” (Colossians 3:5, 8-14 ESV).

Sermon on the Mount, is what Jesus urges His followers to seek. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Again, “Seek first the kingdom of Church of Christ.

But, then Jeff chimed in, It will not wash, I am sure. “Gracious, Ronnie! Don’t you The Scripture reminds remember that? I remember us that each of us will stand it vividly because I had come before the Lord to be judged. “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be bad.” Furthermore, “Every man’s work shall be made manifest, for the day shall declare it …” The day the Lord judges us for our works will not be an easy experience, because the Lord in responsible and righteous manner will set matters straight. Judgment day is not something to laugh about or to take lightly. It is a day by which we should measure what we do today. As the Scripture, therefore, points out, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” In the meantime, I still do not remember anything about that particular fire cracker episode. But, just in case: “Lord, I ask that you forgive me for disobeying my father.” After all, the Lord will probably verify that it is true, too. He knows everything anyway. Dad probably knows about it, too. Daggone, everybody knows it is true except for me. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

With Wahama trailing 27-1, Maddy Van Matre made the team’s first field goal with 2:25 to play in the first half. She also scored the team’s only third-period points — on a jump shot exactly eight minutes after her first field goal. Olivia Hill had a free throw just 20 seconds into the fourth quarter for Wahama, as Van Matre made a free throw with 4:05 remaining — followed by a field goal just 50 seconds later and finally two free throws with 30 seconds to play. “We got intimidated and they (Rebels) just overwhelmed us real quick,” said Wahama coach John Arnott. “We’ll get things worked out. We’ll have to do some discipline, but we will work things out. We’ve got a lot of young kids in our future and we’ll get it going.” Wahama returned to the road, and returned to TVC-Hocking action, on Thursday night at Southern. The Lady Rebels returned home on Thursday, and concluded TVCHocking action, against the outright league champion Waterford. That contest also ended South Gallia’s regular season.

(AP) — West Virginia’s defense was decimated by graduation following the 2015 season, and the Mountaineers signed several prospects Wednesday aimed at softening the losses, led by linebacker Brendan Ferns and junior college safety Kyzir White. West Virginia’s recruiting class includes 15 players on defense among its 27 recruits for what could be a pivotal season for coach Dana Holgorsen. Holgorsen is 35-28 in five years and was told in December by athletic director Shane Lyons following the end of a 7-5 regular season that he could keep his job in 2016. It won’t be easy. West Virginia lost nine players who started on defense last season. “I think top to bottom we filled a lot of needs,” Holgorsen said. He said going after junior college players to fill holes in the secondary was important because “we’ve been down the road of having to play freshmen in the Big 12. It didn’t work out very good.” West Virginia landed seven junior college transfers, including four in the secondary. White and Ferns will Eagles basketball, but I really do believe that — even though we lost to Wahama earlier on From Page 1B — we are a better ball club than they are.

White, from Lackawanna Junior College in Pennsylvania, is the brother of former WVU standout receiver Kevin White and current receiver Ka’Raun White. Other things to know: defensive rebounds, seven offensive boards, 13 assists, eight steals, two blocked shots and 17 turnovers. “This ball club doesn’t communicate,” Hill said. “I think they’re just used to texting each other all the time, and so they don’t communicate with each other on defense. That’s all they needed to do. It all comes down to defense, we’re just not a very good defensive ball club and we have to work on it.” WHS junior Philip Hoffman led the White Falcons with 31 points and nine rebounds, followed by Hicks with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Ryan Thomas posted eight points and a team-best six assists, while Nolan Pierce and Tyler Kearns both marked two points, with Pierce pulling in nine rebounds. The Wahama defense was led by Thomas and Noah Litchfield with three steals each, while Hoffman had two steals and a rejection.

The White Falcons combined for 27 defensive rebounds, nine offensive boards, 13 assists, nine steals, two blocks and 15 turnovers. “Free throw shooting has been a thorn in our side all season long,” Bradley said. “We managed beat Federal Hocking on Tuesday night shooting 13-for 29 from the line. Layups, free throws and rebounds win a lot of basketball games. We’re missing a lot of layups and free throws right now, and it’s coming back to kill us.” Wahama — which defeated EHS by a 36-34 count on December 11, in Mason — returns to action on Friday night when the White Falcons visit Miller. WHS claimed a 76-60 victory over the Perry County natives on January 5, in Mason. “We have to bounce back now and get ready for Miller on Friday night,” Bradley said. “We do layup drill after remains unsigned. How they’ll fit in: The Mountaineers must replace Big 12 rushing champion Wendell Smallwood, who has declared for the NFL draft. Rushel Shell is the top returning rusher, and he’ll be joined in the competition for the starting job by Crawford and fellow signees Martell Pettaway and Kennedy McKoy. For the full list: http://www. wvusports.com layup drill, free throw drill after free throw drill, and we’re still not converting. I know a lot of it on the layups is that we’re looking for contact when there’s no contact there and we’re not focusing on the basket. It’s just little things like that, that we have to continue to work on. We have to continue to drill on free throws and hope our free throw shooting comes around.” Eastern — which has won four consecutive home games —will try to make it five straight at ‘The Nest’ on Friday when South Gallia travels to Tuppers Plains. The Rebels knocked off EHS by a 74-59 final on January 5, in Mercerville. “When you only win two ball games a year and you get five this year, I don’t know if its called momentum or luck,” said Hill. “I do know this, our confidence is building at the right time of the year, and now we just have to play better basketball.” Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2100.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �6B Friday, February 5, 2016 Daily Sentinel Meigs Countys Inspiring Leaders POMEROY— When people talk about a staple in the community that is Meigs County, a name that will often pass from person to person, from Carpenter to Letart Falls, is Alva Clark. A Langsville resident, he was born in what was known for years as Brown Town—a last name that belonged to his mother’s side of the family—off of State Route 833. A Meigs Countian all of his life, he attended what was once Kingsbury and Rose Hill Elementaries, along with Pomeroy Junior and Senior High Schools. From high school on Clark began to give back to the region, beginning with his work in the coal mines down in Cheshire. “that was a very interesting part of my life,” he said. “I was too young to be afraid of anything but my mom worried.” He worked in the coal mines for about eight months before picking up the family business of carpentry— a craft he continues to provide to this day. His first job was to help with construction on the Kyger Creek Power Plant. Eventually he became a member of the Carpenters Local Union #650—just one of the many organizations of which he’s still a part. “I’m the fifth generation of carpenters,” he said. “My father was a carpenter, my grandfather, my great grandfather and great great grandfather.” And while Clark technically retired years ago, he’s done anything but stop. On a typical day, Alva wakes up and heads to the Mulberry Community Center, where he previously served as a director for two years. Now he serves as the Building Operations manager. From there, he’ll typically drive through Pomeroy to check on what’s going on, and will often visit with the commissioners, whose Thursday meetings he can often be seen attending. After his visit to the village, he drives on to visit project sites, where he often provides consultation with carpenters and architects. Other visits include trips to see his friend, Perry Varnadoe, and other local contributors to Meigs County. He said he wants to help out all local officials as much as he can, and says that all the current local leaders deserve all the credit for their cooperation with one another and their dedication to their community. “They’re all just…they’re number one people,” he said. “They make a heck of a good team. They all work together.” In a more official capacity, Clark is currently a member of the GalliaJackson-Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Services, a member of the Local Emergency Planning Commission, the Leading Creek Water Conservancy District and was a member of the USDA-Farm Service Agency before it moved to Gallia County. And he plans to keep going to improve his county. “Don’t tell me you can’t do it,” he said. “Even at my age, I’m not as aggressive as I used to be, but I still have the fire in the furnace. I love progress cause I hope to change the face of the earth, and hope it’s all for the better.” Alva Clark CARPENTERS LOCAL #650 POMEROY, OHIO THANKS ALVA CLARK FOR HIS YEARS OF SERVICE TO US AND TO HIS COMMUNITY 60637530 Stop Hunger @ Home Home National Bank wants to help stop Hunger @ Home You can help by donating a non-perishable food item or making a monetary donation Serving Our Community SWISHER & LOHSE PHARMACY 740-992-2955 60637607 60618473 Together we can Stop Hunger @ Home 636 EAST MAIN STREET POMEROY, OH 45769 www.ThePharmacy4u.com 60637219 60637496 60634921 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
