The news release provided by FAO, explained: “This fundraising goal was advanced by match opportunities provided by FAO to provide permanent resources for Meigs County communities as they continue to grow in the future. Match dollars are still available for gifts to the Meigs County Community Fund, increasing each dollar given by $0.50 while match remains.” “The evolving COVID-19 pandemic highlighted just how important flexible, philanthropic dollars are to serve and support our neighbors directly. Although many of our neighbors have faced their own personal challenges, they con- tinue to stand up to support Meigs County,” said Jennifer Sheets, president of the Meigs County Community Fund. “Those who hold Meigs County close to their hearts rose to this challenge. Their profound generosity helped us to make a greater difference today, while growing the Endow 200 campaign to support Meigs County’s nonprofits, schools, students, and communities for generations.” The Endow 200 campaign was originally launched to celebrate Meigs County’s 200th birthday by growing resources to benefit Meigs County’s people and communities forever. The MCCF’s $1 million will be invested in a permanent endowment fund at FAO to grow over time through investment. Over time, the MCCF is projected to make grants of approximately $40,000 each and every year.

Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley announced, in a news release, that on March 9, 2021, following a two-day trial, a jury convicted Edward “Joey” King, 54, of Pomeroy, of breaking and entering, a felony of the fifth degree. Sentencing is scheduled for April. Stanley stated, “The jury heard testimony from four witnesses for the State of Ohio, including two victims and two deputies with the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. The evidence showed that on June 24, 2020, King used force and/or stealth to trespass in an unoccupied structure used by the owners for storage, with the purpose to commit a theft offense. Numerous items were discovered to have been removed from two unoccupied structures. King and a co-defendant were caught at the scene during the commission of the crime.“ Stanley thanks the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office for their thorough investigation of this matter. Judge Linda Warner ordered a presentence investigation to be completed in the case, with sentencing to take place in April. Information provided by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. WASHINGTON (AP) — Marking a year of loss and disruption, President Joe Biden on Thursday signed into law the $1.9 trillion relief package that he said will help the U.S. defeat the coronavirus and nurse the economy back to health. Some checks to Americans could begin arriving this weekend. The signing came hours before Biden delivers his first prime-time address since taking office. He’s aiming to steer the nation toward a hungered-for sentiment — hope — as he marks one year since the onset of the pandemic that has killed more than 529,000 Americans. “This historic legislation is about rebuilding Andrew Harnik | AP President Joe Biden signs the American Rescue Plan, a coronavirus relief package, on Thursday in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington.

Republicans in both chambers opposed the legislation unanimously, OHIO VALLEY — A death associated with COVID-19 was reported in Mason County and five total cases were reported in the area on Thursday while Meigs County was downgraded to “yellow” on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) reported three additional cases of COVID19 in Gallia County on Thursday. Also, the Ohio per capita indicator, the statistic to be used to lift current orders, was updated on Thursday by ODH. The current rate is 155.0 cases per 100,000 population. Last week, the indicator was 179.6 cases per 100,000 in population. As previously reported by the Associated Press, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice announced Wednesday that an estimated 168 coronavirus deaths went unreported, throwing into question the data that officials used to justify lifting pandemic restrictions. Justice said officials discovered that 70 facilities — mostly hospitals and nursing homes — did not report the deaths to the state’s health department. In a news release from the governor’s office, a breakdown of these facilities and deaths did not include any from Mason County. Here is a closer look at COVID-19 cases in the region: Gallia County ODH reported a total of 2,250 cases of COVID19 (since March) in Gallia County as part of Thursday’s update. This is an increase of three since Wednesday’s update. ODH has reported a total of 39 deaths, 135 hospitalizations, and 2,129 presumed recovered individuals (10 new) as of Thursday. Age ranges for the 2,250 total cases reported by ODH on Wednesday are as follows: See MASON | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, March 12, 2021 OBITUARIES Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS JAMES FRANKLIN PARSONS CROWN CITY — James Franklin Parsons, 71, of Crown City, passed away on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at his residence surrounded by his family.

I thought it was very good, so I’d like to use some of his ideas and then my own to think about a word we hear all the time: LOVE. The Bible verse this week is probably the most well-known verse in the Bible: John 3:16. We use the word love a lot – but what does it really mean? What are you saying when you tell someone that you love them? We love our parents; we love pizza; we love Ann Moody to play sports; we love our pets; we love our new outfit; we say we Contributing love many things, but is that love columnist all the same? When you love someone – truly love them – it means that you care so deeply about them that you’d do anything for them. Love is a very powerful thing. This week’s Scripture contains the verse John 3:16. We see it many, many places - written on signs sometimes at sporting events or bumper stickers or on greeting cards. It came from the Bible though, and the reason it’s so famous is that it sort of tells the story of the Gospels in only one sentence. There’s a name for that – we call it a summary. John 3:16 is all about LOVE – God’s love for us. It tells about how God showed us His love by giving us His only Son. You know who that Son is, right? It was Jesus, and He died a terrible death just to show His love for us and save us from our sin. That’s a lot of love, isn’t it? I imagine many of you already know this verse by heart. If you do, say it with me as you read this. If not, maybe you can start to memorize it. It’s a wonderful beginning point to know that will always be powerful and meaningful for you to remember in difficult times. For God so loved the world… That he gave his only Son… So that everyone who believes in him… May not perish, but have eternal life. Let’s pray together. Dear God, thank You for the love You show us each day. You gave us Your Son so we might be able to live eternally with You in heaven. Jesus died so that we might live. Help us never to forget that fact. In Your name we pray, Amen. Sunday, April 3 OH-SPAD0304144331 The idea of sin is not something that our society deals well with. We have a divine call to live, not according the impulses of the flesh or the compulsions given us by the culture around us, but to a standard given to us from God Himself. The word “sin” itself is often misunderstood or misused. For instance, it has a way of being invoked when certain people like to find harsh ways to criticize others to lift themselves up. Or it has been used to oppress or control people to fulfill selfish desires. Because there have been throughout the years so many instances where this has happened, many of us reject the idea of sin out of hand as something purely human contrived and useless today. But the idea of sin, as given to us by the Bible, is simply this: a rejection of the authority of God in our lives and a giving of our ourselves to something less than our Creator. Sin in this way is really about our refusal to be subordinate to God Himself and exalting something to the position of devotion and worship that only God deserves. Sin separates us from God. It is not religious issue. It is a life and death issue. Sin debases us, even when we strive to exalt ourselves, because Dr. Angie Dahse has provided over 21 years of compassionate & affordable preventative, sick & surgical care for dogs, cats & most farm animals.

Fires, floods, pestilence, war, weather, and other momentous events can devastate communities and even countries. Economies collapse, nations rise and fall, families break apart, companies go bankrupt, and it is hard to know, from one day to the next, how long anything will last. It is partly for this reason that the Bible reminds us, saying, “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit’— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.’ (James 4:13-15)” The truth is, there is nothing of permanency in this life. Everyone you know will eventually leave you, or you will leave them, if not by choice, then by reasons of death. Property, possessions and other material goods decay, break, and require constant replacement and repair. Even the most secure of situations can quickly devolve into insecurity when fortunes change.

It is good to know that in a world full of uncertainty, there is One in whom we can always find unchanging shelter. But God is only going to be that Rock for those who are trusting in Him day by day, and walking according to His law and His precepts. David could call God his Rock, because David was trusting in God at all times, not just when things were obviously dark. Can we make the same boast today, declaring God to be the Rock of our lives, or have we been unmindful of the one who made us and, in our complacency, wandered from His protection?

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released initial guidance for how vaccinated people can resume some normal activities. On Wednesday, Congress approved the president’s $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan,” aimed at easing the economic impact of the virus on tens of millions of people. And the nation was on pace to administer its 100 millionth dose of vaccine as soon as Thursday. Biden said he would focus his remarks on what his administration plans to deliver in the coming months, but also reiterate his call for Americans to continue to practice social distancing and wear face coverings to hasten the end of the pandemic. “I’m going to launch the next phase of the COVID Beth Sergent | OVP The dive team from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office arrives at the Gallipolis Public Use Area, joining several other agencies on Thursday.

Bryant said in addition to searching via the river and in the air with the drones, the canine teams walked both sides of the riverbank for several miles. Bryant also response and explain what we will do as a government and what we will ask of the American people,” he said. He added: “There is light at the end of this dark tunnel of the past year. There is real reason for hope.” Almost exactly one year ago, President Donald Trump addressed the nation to mark the WHO’s declaration of a global pandemic. He announced travel restrictions and called for Americans to practice good hygiene but displayed little alarm about the forthcoming catastrophe. Trump, it was later revealed, acknowledged that he had been deliberately “playing down” the threat of the virus. For Biden, who has promised to level with the American public after the alternate reality of Trump’s virus talk, the imperative is to strike the correct balance “between optimism and grief,” said Princeton history professor and presidential scholar Julian Zelizer. “Generally, the country likes optimism, and at this particular moment reported dive teams did enter the water in areas where there were promising sonar hits but were unable to locate the victim.

Beth Sergent is editor of Ohio Valley Publishing. they’re desperate for optimism, but you can’t risk a ‘Mission Accomplished’ moment,’” he said, warning against any premature declaration that the threat has been vanquished. Fifty days into his presidency, Biden is experiencing a polling honeymoon that his predecessor never enjoyed. Yet public sentiment remains stubbornly polarized and fewer people among his critics seem willing to say they’ll give him a chance than was the case for earlier presidents. Overall, he has earned strong marks on his handling of the pandemic. According to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released last week, 70% of Americans back the Democratic president’s handling of the virus response, including 44% of Republicans. The White House hopes that as Biden assumes the role of cheerleader for the virus relief package, the elements of the $1.9 trillion bill that are popular with Republicans will boost his support even further. Brinkley said Biden’s decision to deliver a speech aimed directly at the nation before he makes the traditional presidential address to a joint session of Congress signals that it is as much an “introduction” of the president and his administration to the American people as a status report on his first 50 days in office. Presidential addresses to Congress “tend to be a series of soundbites,” Brinkley said. “This way, he can make his case directly.” Still, the prime-time speech is in many ways an anachronism, better suited for an era when Americans had vastly fewer television options and in which a presidential address could reframe the national conversation. The fragmented media landscape makes it more difficult for Biden to reach people, Zelizer said, but that may be beside the point. “Everything he’s doing is throwback,” said Zelizer. “It’s part of his effort to create normalcy after the last four years.” House passes bill to expand background checks for gun sales WASHINGTON (AP) — Emboldened by their majorities in the House and Senate, Democrats are making a new push to enact the first major new gun control laws in more than two decades — starting with stricter background checks. The House passed two bills Thursday to require background checks on all firearms sales and transfers and to allow an expanded 10-day review for gun purchases. Similar bills were passed by the House in 2019, shortly after Democrats won the majority, but languished in the GOP-controlled Senate for the next two years. Democrats now hold the Senate, as well, giving the party hope as the legislation will at least be considered. But the bills would need significant bipartisan support to pass. The renewed push is the latest effort by Democrats – and some Republicans – who have repeatedly tried, and failed, to pass tougher gun control laws since the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut that killed 20 children and six educators. While enhanced background checks are generally popular with the American public, even with some conservatives, Congress has so far not been able to find compromise on the issue. It is unclear whether Senate Democrats could find deep enough support among Republicans to pass new gun control legislation in a 50-50 Senate, as they would need 60 votes to do so. Still, the bills are part of an effort by Democrats to move on several major legislative priorities while they hold both chambers of Congress and the White House. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that the Republican “legislative graveyard is over” and that the bill to require background checks on all firearms sales will have a vote in the Senate. “A vote is what we need,” Schumer said, and they will find out where Republicans stand. “Maybe we’ll get the votes,” he said. “And if we don’t, we’ll come together as a caucus and figure it out how we are going to get this done. But we have to get it done.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who has been working on gun legislation with Schumer since the 1990s when they were in the House together, said she and her colleagues have promised survivors of shootings and family members of those who have died that “we are not going away” until the background checks legislation passes. “The gun violence crisis in America is a challenge to the conscience of our country – one that demands that we act,” Pelosi said during floor debate on the bills Wednesday. “These solutions will save lives.” President Joe Biden has called for Congress to strengthen gun laws, including requiring the background checks on all gun sales and banning assault weapons. “We owe it to all those we’ve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change,” Biden said as he marked the three-year anniversary of the Parkland school shooting massacre in Florida, which killed 17. “The time to act is now.” The first bill, which passed 227-203, is designed to close loopholes to ensure background checks are extended to private and online sales that often go undetected, including at gun shows. The legislation includes limited exceptions allowing temporary transfers to prevent imminent harm, for use at a target range and for gifts from family, among others. The second bill, which passed 219-210, would extend the review period for background checks from three to 10 days. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., introduced the legislation after a shooter killed nine people at a Charleston, S.C., church in 2015. The FBI said afterward that a background check examiner never saw the shooter’s previous arrest report because the wrong arresting agency was listed in state criminal history records, and the gun dealer was legally permitted to complete the transaction after three days. While the House bills have Republican cosponsors and won a handful of GOP votes, most Republicans voted against them. During the floor debate, Republicans argued that the background checks would not stop most mass shootings and would mistakenly prevent some lawful gun owners from purchasing firearms. Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry said the bill would lead to more crime because there would be “less people out there defending themselves.” At the same time, Democrats are hoping that there’s a gradual political shift among voters that could help them win GOP votes. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who has introduced a companion bill expanding background checks in the Senate, said he doesn’t think Democrats should just accept that there aren’t 60 votes. “I just think we are living in a different world than 2013,” Murphy said ahead of the House vote, referring to failed congressional efforts after the Newtown school shooting. Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who has pushed gun control legislation with Murphy since then, said “what’s changed is we now have a president who can put pressure on our colleagues.” Democrats also point to troubles at The National Rifle Association, the long-powerful advocacy group that poured tens of millions of dollars into electing Donald Trump in 2016. The organization has been weakened by infighting as well as legal tangles over its finances. But change does not come easy in the Senate as many in the GOP base are still viscerally opposed to any new gun control. Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, a moderate, have worked together for years to find compromise on background checks but have yet to propose anything that will pass. �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, March 12, 2021 9 �)�'( $#'���$)(�LIFE� #')&�#������(�)'���!%� �� �������$#���(&��(�,��$"�&$+������ � ������ �� "Insurance Made Easy!"
