Middleport discusses possible sewer expansion Plans include portions of Meigs, Gallia By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — Representatives from the Village of Middleport spoke with the Meigs County Commissioners on Thursday regarding the possible expansion of the village sewer system beyond the village limits into Meigs and Gallia Counties. Mayor Fred Hoffman and Village Administrator Joe Woodall, joined by Burgess and Niple engineer Craig Richards, spoke with Commissioners Jimmy Will, Shannon Miller and Tim Ihle regarding the possibility of expanding the sewer system from the village along State Route 7, State Route 124 and the Bradbury Road area, as well as the Village of Cheshire in Gallia County. Hoffman explained that he and Woodall had been discussing the idea for about a year, and are in the preliminary stages of the possible expansion. Among the next steps would be a feasibility study to deter- mine the cost and beneﬁts of the expansion and the number of potential customers. Contact would also be made with the EPA to determine need in the area and possible funding, as well as the health department to see what issues and concerns there are in the area with the existing septic tanks in place. Richards explained that the exact area which could be expanded into would depend on the feasibility study, which would help to determine the number of residences and/or businesses in a given area. Woodall explained that having a sewer system in place, particularly along State Route 7 both north and south of the village of Middleport could open up the opportunity for development of businesses in the area, including near the State Route 7 and 124 intersection. Hoffman added that there is a need to have everyone on board for the potential expansion if it were to take place in order to enforce regulations which require customers to hook into the system if they are within a certain distance of the line. Commissioner Ihle said that the commissioners would be AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:6-8 ESV). Two phrases stick out to me: “while we were still weak” and “while we were still sinners.” What does it mean to be weak? Cross What does it mean to be a sinner? Words It’s easy for us to bypass the seriIsaiah ousness of our sin. It’s easy for us to Pauley say, “I’m not that bad. At least I’m not like [ﬁll in the blank].” But the Bible is clear that all of us—each and every one of us—have sinned (see Rom. 3:23). John writes, “If we say we have not sinned, we make him [God] a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 Jn. 1:10 ESV). But how often do we actually believe this? We think, “Well, I’m still a pretty good person. I’ll be okay.” That’s not what Paul says: “‘None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one’” (Rom. 3:10-12 ESV). There are no excuses. Our greatest deeds are like ﬁlthy rags (see Isa. 64:6). So, that’s why it’s amazing to think about Romans 5:6-8. Despite our inability to ever be good enough, Christ took our place. Despite our frailty, Christ died for us. And this is why we celebrate Good Friday. Because Jesus paid the cost of our sin—that is, if you know Him as Lord and Savior of your life. And if you don’t, may today be the day you surrender your life to Christ. “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom. 10:9 ESV). Is God drawing your heart to Christ on this Good Friday? Is God opening your eyes to the reality of your sin? Is God offering you the righteousness available through the death of His one and only Son? This is the hope of the gospel. This is where real life is found. There’s no better time to receive Christ than today. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Find more at www.isaiahpauley.com.

On the surface, this Friday of the Easter week may appear as a gruesome day when the Cruciﬁxion of Christ is considered. But, in actuality it is an awesome day to celebrate. This Friday is particularly remembered because it was on a Friday that God showed us how much He loves us. This Friday is particularly remembered, for it was on a Friday some 2000 years ago God made a daring personal sacriﬁce that effectively settled His holy strategy for our eternal redemption. Ron How was God able to accomplish Branch it? The Scripture says that it was Contributing “through the blood of the Cross.” columnist The “blood” and the “Cross” in question point to that which involved God’s Son, Jesus Christ. God gave His Son to die on a (The) Cross and to shed His precious blood to provide a perfect salvation. The Scripture says that without the shedding of blood there is no remission. In other words, without the shedding of blood there is no release or dismissal from the guilt and penalty of sin. The reason remission is necessary is because we are sinners by nature and by choice. Consequently,, we are enemies of God. We are separated from having any hope of Heaven because of sin. Christ was willing to spend Friday on the Cross to make peace and reconciliation with God on our behalf. That is why Friday is an awesome day. That is why it is considered “good.” Actually, what Christ did for us by dying on the Cross was to provide for us an opportunity of a lifetime. “Reconcile” literally means “to exchange.” Christ’s death gives us the opportunity to exchange eternal death for eternal life. His death gives us the opportunity to exchange alienation from God for fellowship with God, and to exchange rebelliousness for repentance. Furthermore, Christ’s death on the Cross obliterated the claim that Satan has on our lives. The Scripture says His shed blood “blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross.” When Christ died on the Cross, He ruined Satan and his evil. When on the Cross, the “hour and power of darkness” assaulted the soul of Christ full force. But, despite His suffering, Christ won the day! He openly made a show of them. He triumphed over them. Friday is certainly an awesome day when we remember that Christ defeated the devil at the Cross. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

CHURCH Friday, April 2, 2021 3 The meaning of Good Friday This week, I wanted to write something to explain Good Friday since that is today. The whole story is rather long, so you might want to have someone read it all to you from the Bible, but here is the shortened version, and what I believe it means to us. I took part of the retelling this from Sermon4Kids, so I need to give credit to them for their part I used. When Jesus lived here on earth and grew up, He had 12 close friends He called His disciples. He was having dinner with them in the Upper Room at Passover, and He said, “One of you is going to give Me to my enemies.” His disciples looked at each other, wondering who it might be and saying not me. But Jesus told them, “ALL of you will run away because you will be afraid when they come to take Me away.” The disciple Peter said, “I will never turn away from You even if ALL the others do.” Jesus said, “Yes, even you will, Peter. In fact, you will say you don’t even know Me 3 times before the rooster crows in the morning.” Jesus already knew all that was going to happen to Him, and He was going to let it happen because Jesus loves us and knew this would be the only way our sins could be forgiven. Now Jesus looked at Judas, another of His disciples, and said, “Go, do it quickly.” You see, Judas was jealous of Jesus and had gone to the high priests and asked them how much they would pay him to lead them to Jesus. Judas knew they wanted to kill Him. They were jealous of Jesus because He could do miracles, and He was king of the Jews. They already had a king Jesus whipped. and thought Jesus The whip had wanted to take pieces of metal and over the governglass in it, so this ment.

Jesus did come back to life (resurrected) on what we now celebrate as Easter – this Sunday. Jesus suffered greatly that Friday – more than we can ever imagine. He carried out God’s plan of salvation for you and me because He loved us so much that He wanted us to be forever forgiven of our sins and able to live with Him in heaven. The Bible says that there is no love greater than to give one’s life for a friend. This is exactly what Jesus did because He is our friend forever and ever. This is a sad story for sure when we think of Jesus’ physical and mental pain that day, but remember the even more important part of the story: Jesus’ resurrection that Sunday morning when all the earth rejoiced in His re-life. As you wake up to Easter baskets, colored eggs, and candy this Sunday, take a few moments to remember the real reason we celebrate Easter and tell Jesus thank You for all He did then and still does for us now. Then have a chocolate Easter egg to celebrate! Let’s say a prayer for Easter. Thank You Jesus for suffering and dying for us, so that we might be able to ask forgiveness when we do wrong and then live with You forever. Help us to always remember the joy of Easter and its real meaning. Happy Easter Jesus! We love You! Amen.

On the subject of idolatry… When the apostle Paul walked through the streets of Athens, the Bible records, “his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols (Acts 17:16b; ESV).” Athens, we are told, had so many shrines to various spirits, demons, and gods that there was quite literally on idol on every street corner. Athens was exceptional in its demonstrative devotion to idols, but it was scarcely alone. The ancient world was full of idols. When God was giving Moses the Ten Commandments, the ﬁrst two commands were directly applicable to every form of idolatry. God told Moses, “You shall have no other gods,” and “You shall not make any carven images,” meaning carven images such as one might pray to or worship (cf. Exodus 20:3-5). Relatedly, God also forbade witchcraft, spiritism and any other such device wherein one might seek for aid or guidance from any power apart from Himself (cf. Leviticus 19:31, etc.). In all things God wanted His people to trust and worship Him alone. Yet even ancient Israel became a land full of idols. There were the golden calves, which the people claimed as their savior from Egypt (cf. Exodus 32:4). There were the various Baals, which the people honored and worshiped. There were the Asherah poles, at in passing, that which the people though those who gathered to worworshipped idols ship via acts of were condemned prostitution and by God, it must be fornication.

When we seek for security, safety or salvation from that which is not God, we are chasing after an idol. When we sacriﬁce and prostrate ourselves in pursuit of a certain goal, we have made an idol. Some people make an idol out of wealth and material possessions, which is why God warns His children to “put to death… covetousness, which is idolatry (Colossians 3:5).” Some people make an idol out of their careers and jobs. Some make an idol out of sports. Others out of their friends and families. Consider just as an exercise, the question as to the difference between a woman who sacriﬁces her baby to Molech upon an altar in the hope of gaining wealth, and a woman sacriﬁcing her baby to abortion, in the hope of keeping her career or See IDOLATRY | 6 Gallia County Department of Job & Family Services � �� #��"��%� �� — REQUEST FOR BID — The Gallia County Department of Job and Family Service (GCDJFS) is now accepting bids for the provision of transportation services through the agency’s Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) program.

The millions in question were paid by customers of Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp.’s three Ohio electric utility companies as part of a revenue guarantee that they steadily receive the same amount of annual revenue they collected in 2018, a year of extreme weather and high electric use. The announcement came the same day Republican Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill repealing the nuclear bailout and other provisions of the earlier bill. The repeal legislation gets rid of electricity bill surcharges that were created in 2019 to pay for the bailout for the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant near Oak Harbor and the Perry plant east of Cleveland. The company said in a release that it is “committed to engaging in a holistic and transparent manner” as part of a months-long review undertaken after the arrests in July of then-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, a Republican, and four others alleged to have been involved in the bribery scheme. us.

The decision comes two weeks after the 70-year-old Williams closed his 18th season with the Tar Heels after a highly successful run at Kansas. In all, Williams won 903 games in a career that included those three titles, all with the Tar Heels, in 2005, 2009 and 2017. North Carolina scheduled a campus news conference for Thursday afternoon on the Smith Center court bearing his name. The Tar Heels lost to Wisconsin in the ﬁrst round of the NCAA Tournament in his ﬁnal game, which was Williams’ only ﬁrst-round loss in 30 tournaments. “It’s been a difﬁcult year, but everybody’s had the problems with COVID that we’ve had,” an emotional Williams said after the game. “It’s been a hard year to push and pull, push and pull every other day to try to get something done. But how can you be any luckier than Roy Williams is coaching basketball?” Williams spent 10 seasons at his alma mater as an assistant coach to late mentor Dean Smith before leaving to take over the Jayhawks program in 1988. He spent 15 seasons there, taking Kansas to four Final Fours and two national title games. Williams time as an assistant included the Tar Heels’ run to the 1982 NCAA championship for Smith’s ﬁrst title, a game that memorably featured a freshman named Michael Jordan making the go-ahead jumper late to beat Georgetown. “Roy Williams is and always will be a Carolina basketball legend,” Jordan said in a statement through his business manager. “His great success on the court is truly matched by the impact he had on the lives of the players he coached – including me. I’m proud of the way he carried on the tradition of Coach Smith’s program, always putting his players ﬁrst.” Williams passed on taking over at UNC in 2000 after the retirement of Bill Guthridge, but ultimately couldn’t say no a second time and returned as coach in 2003 after the tumultuous Matt Doherty era that included an 8-20 season. Williams immediately stabilized the program and broke through for his ﬁrst national championship in his second season with a win against Illinois, marking the ﬁrst of ﬁve Final Four trips with the Tar Heels. His second title came in 2009 with a team that rolled through the NCAA Tournament, winning every game by at least a dozen points, including the ﬁnal game against Michigan State played in the Spartans’ home state. The third title was delivered by a team that included players who had lost the 2016 championship game to Villanova on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer. This time, the Tar Heels beat a oneloss Gonzaga team for the championship. Williams won three Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament titles with the Tar Heels after winning seven league tournament titles with the Jayhawks. Williams had just one losing season — an injury-plagued 14-19 year in 2019-20 — and otherwise missed the NCAA Tournament only in his ﬁrst season at Kansas when he inherited a program on probation and in 2010 with a UNC team that reached the NIT ﬁnal. Along the way, Williams spoke with a folksy style from his time growing up in the North Carolina mountains — which became a bit of a trademark in his home state. “Dadgummit! Roy Williams, legendary coach and wonderful person is hanging it up!” North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper posted on Twitter. “We hate to see you go but Godspeed Coach.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, April 2 Boys Basketball Hurricane at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Girls Basketball Hannan at Wahama, 7 p.m. Softball River Valley at Eastern, 5 p.m. South Gallia at Chesapeake, 5 p.m. Track and Field River Valley at Jackson, 4:30 Saturday, April 3 Boys Basketball Wahama at Hannan, 2 p.m. Girls Basketball Wahama at LKC Night of Champions, 7 p.m. Wrestling Wahama at South Harrison LKC Night of Champions, TBA Baseball River Valley at Waterford, 11 a.m. Softball Oak Hill at Gallia Academy (DH), 11 a.m. Fairland at Meigs (DH), noon River Valley at Waterford (DH), 11 a.m. Track and Field EHS, MHS, SGHS, SHS at Nelsonville-York, 10 a.m. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama senior Torre VanMatre, left, looks to make a pass during the first half of a girls basketball game against Ravenswood on March 8 at Gary Clark Court in Mason, W.Va. MASON, W.Va. — Luckily, the Lady Falcons had a better case of the runs. The Wahama girls basketball team established a 15-7 ﬁrst quarter lead and ultimately made a 2-point halftime edge hold up Wednesday night during a 47-45 victory over visiting Doddridge County in a Little Kanawha Conference placement matchup at Gary Clark Court in Mason County. The host Lady Falcons (6-7, 5-6 LKC) received six points from Torre VanMatre in building that early 3-possession cushion, but the Lady Bulldogs (7-7, 3-4) countered with an 11-5 surge that trimmed the deﬁcit down to 20-18 headed into the intermission. Emma Gibbs poured in ﬁve points as the Red and White made a 13-10 push to extend the lead out to 33-28 headed into the ﬁnale, but Laurel McCombs netted eight points down the stretch as DCHS closed regulation with 17-14 run. WHS, despite going 2-of-7 at the free throw line in the fourth period, ultimately traded 27 points apiece with the Green and Gold down the stretch — allowing the Lady Falcons to make that 2-point halftime cushion hold up. Wahama made 18 total ﬁeld goals — including four trifectas — and also went 7-of-15 at the free throw line for 47 percent. VanMatre and Gibbs both paced the hosts with 16 points, See WAHAMA | 8 Bransford named Ohio Ms. Basketball By Scott Springer For Ohio Valley Publishing READING, Ohio – According to her high school coach, KK Bransford has the knack of doing what it takes to win. It might mean knocking down a shot, dishing an assist, grabbing a key rebound, diving for a loose ball or guarding the other team’s best player. Bransford did all of those things in Mount Notre Dame’s most recent visit to the Ohio Division I state championship. That’s why MND drove home from the University of Dayton Arena with their eighth state basketball title. That’s why Bransford, who scored eight of her 21 points in MND’s victory in the second overtime against Newark, is Ohio’s Ms. Basketball. “She makes so many people around her better, not just on the court, but off the court,” MND coach Dr. Scott Rogers said. “Her basketball IQ is so high. She understands that if you want the big prize, you have to sacriﬁce some scoring. All that’s done is cause her game to evolve. She had 10 assists in the state ﬁnal.” Bransford has now played in an incredible 72 consecutive winning basketball games for the Cougars and has been part of two state championships. Had it not been for the coronavirus pandemic cancellation of the 2020 state tournament, it may have been three state titles as MND was also 28-0 a year ago. “I’m super happy, super blessed, super surprised,” Bransford said of the honor. “I always say Ohio has the best talent in girls basketball in the country. To be considered Ms. Basketball is amazing to me.” For better perspective, the 5-foot-10 all-purpose player is 87-2 in her varsity career which will include one more season as the most sought-after player in the state. Bransford’s college suitors include the elite-level programs you would imagine chasing a Ms. Basketball Her choices are down to a dozen “blue-bloods”: Maryland, Connecticut, Courtesy | OHSAA Cincinnati Mount Notre Dame junior K.K. Bransford dribbles past a defender in this undated girls basketball tournament game in Dayton, Ohio. UCLA, Louisville, Notre Dame, Michigan, Arizona, Tennessee, Baylor, Texas, Duke and North Carolina. KK, whose real name is Calyn, became KK when she was small and her brother couldn’t pronounce her name. Calyn came out KK and it stuck. Now, anyone connected with women’s college basketball recruiting is familiar with KK Bransford. Though she still isn’t in a hurry to commit to a college, she’s currently enjoying the NCAA Women’s Tournament featuring many of the schools on her list. “It’s so competitive!” Bransford said. “You don’t know who is going to win. I feel like the girls’ game is really evolving. I’m just very grateful to all the schools that have taken time to recruit me.” As demonstrated throughout her career, Bransford can jump center, run the point, post up, deliver a dime and bury a three. This past season she led the Girls Greater Catholic League in scoring (21.4), assists (5.1), ﬁeld goal percentage (51.5) and steals (3 per game). She was third in the league in rebounding, pulling down 6.4. “KK can play any position she wants,” Rogers said. “We’ve had her at the one, at shooting guard, playing the ﬁve. She can match-up with pretty much anybody.” In the state tournament, she nearly delivered back-to-back tripledoubles. In the semiﬁnal against Toledo Notre Dame Academy she had 24 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. She followed that up with 21 points 10 assists and eight boards against Newark in the championship game. Her high game this year was 31, but as a sophomore, she once scored 40 against Gahanna Lincoln. As a freshman, she made her debut with 29 points against Columbus Africentric. Neither of those programs would be considered a slouch. To make her accolades even more notable, Bransford has played three seasons alongside Laila Phelia, a Michigan signee and McDonald’s All-American nominee. Together, they shared the ball and shared the wealth of 72 straight wins and a pair of championships. “She’s so deserving of that award (Ms. Basketball) because she’s not just about personal statistics, she’s about team statistics,” Rogers said. In 2020 Bransford had Makira Cook of the University of Dayton with her and 2019 she played with Gabbie Marshall of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Bransford becomes the ﬁrst Greater Cincinnati recipient of Ms. Basketball since 2014 when Kelsey Mitchell (Princeton, Ohio State, WNBA) was chosen. She’s the third Mount Notre Dame winner joining 2009’s Kendall Hackney (Northwestern) and 2004’s Mel Thomas (Connecticut). Rogers compares Bransford’s basketball intellect with Thomas who played for Geno Auriemma at Connecticut. Thomas reached out to MND’s state championship team via video from Florida prior to the Cougars’ title run in Dayton. Other Cincinnati winners have been Amber Gray (Lakota West, Tennessee, Xavier, WNBA) in 2008, Michelle Munoz (Mason, Tennessee, Ohio State) in 2000 and 2001, Carol Madsen (Reading,Xavier) in 1989 and Janet Haneburg (Seton) in 1988.

Frese is AP women’s coach of the year SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Maryland coach Brenda Frese was honored as The Associated Press women’s basketball coach of the year Wednesday for the second time in her career. Frese received eight votes from the 30-member national media panel that votes on the weekly AP Top 25. Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer and North Carolina State coach Wes Moore each received seven votes. “It’s special. Obviously its going to be one I never forget,” said Frese, who also was AP coach of the year 19 years ago when she was at Minnesota. “What makes it so special is having this journey through a pandemic with the most selﬂess group of people you could go through a pandemic with. No one had Maryland doing anything this season after the graduation and losses of all ﬁve starters last year.” Maryland lost ﬁve starters from last year’s Big Ten championship team, but didn’t miss a beat, winning the conference for the sixth time in seven years and going 26-3. The Terrapins lost in the Sweet 16 to Texas. Geno Auriemma, Muffet McGraw and Kim Mulkey are the only other coaches to win the award multiple times. “I’m humbled and honored, that’s some pretty elite company,” Frese said. She won her 500th game at Maryland earlier this season, making her the winningest coach in program history, and has 569 total victories at Maryland, Minnesota and Ball State. She was surprised by her father, Bill, who is 89 and has battled prostate cancer, with the news she had won the award. “It was absolutely perfect. No better way to here that news come from my dad,” she said. “To have my entire family on the Zoom. I was speechless, blown away, completely surprised.” Frese said that the season provided her with an escape from what her family was going through. WEDNESDAY DIAMOND ROUNDUP Staff Reports Softball Meigs 14, Marietta 2 The Lady Marauders (3-1) picked up their second win of the week, defeating non-conference host Marietta 14-2. The Maroon and Gold were up 2-0 after RBIs by Delana Wright and Mallory Adams in the top of the ﬁrst, but a two-run double by Schilling in the home half tied it up. The Lady Tigers had just one more hit in the game, however, and didn’t reach second base again. Jerrica Smith doubled home Mara Hall for the go-ahead run in the top of the second, and two more Lady Marauders wound up scoring in the frame. The guests pushed across eight runs in the third inning, highlighted by a two-run Lily Dugan home run. The Lady Marauders added a run in the top of the fourth for the cherry on top of the 14-2 win. Jess Workman was the winning pitcher of record in 4.2 innings of relief, allowing one hit and striking out three batters. Leading Meigs at the plate, Smith went 4-for-4 with four runs batted in, and three runs scored, and Adams went 3-for-3 with three RBIs and one run scored. Dugan added a double to go with her home run, ﬁnishing 2-for-3. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.
