Most don’t know that one in every 100 babies are born with a heart defect. Congenital heart defects also known as CHD is a malformation in the structure of the heart present at birth. There is no cure only monitoring, procedures, and surgeries. Kaitlynn Halley was born with a coarctation of the aorta, a type of CHD where there is a narrowing of the aorta. Halley who is passionate about spreading awareness of CHD and the fiber arts began the Little Red Hat Project in 2018 by collecting handmade red hats for newborns. Last year the cause collected 185 red hats that were donated to the Gallipolis Holzer nursery. With such a positive response Halley contacted The Artisan Shoppe & Studio about organizing a Knit-A-Thon. “A Knit-A-Thon seemed to be the perfect option for what I wanted the Little Red Hat Project to become but I needed help. The Artisan Shoppe and their Fiber Guild have been a great asset to the project,” Halley said. The Knit-A-Thon will take place at the Artisan Shoppe and Studio on Feb. 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Knitters, crocheters, and other fiber arts creators are invited to bring their needles and hooks as they create little red hats, blankets and other comfort items for newborns. The Knit-A-Thon goal is 100 items. Farmers Bank will be sponsor- ing the event and providing the yarn. Knit and crochet patterns will be provided, though creators are encouraged to bring their own ideas. The provided patterns recommend that knitters bring size US 3 needles and crocheters a size G (4mm) hooks. Zack and Scotty’s Subs and Hotties will be sponsoring lunch for the creators. The Knit-A-Thon has also teamed up with Holzer Health System who will be at the Artisan Shoppe during the event giving free blood pressure checks and heart health information. The checks are available to everyone, not just the creators. For questions, contact the Artisan Shoppe at info@theartisanshoppe.org or 740-853-2370. The Artisan Shoppe is located at 749 Third Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio 45631. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2A Friday, January 18, 2019 Watchdog: Thousands more children may have been separated WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands more migrant children may have been split from their families than the Trump administration previously reported, in part because officials were stepping up family separations long before the border policy that prompted international outrage last spring, a government watchdog said Thursday. It’s unclear just how many family separations occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border; immigration officials are allowed under longstanding policy to separate families under certain circumstances. Health and Human Services, the agency tasked with caring for migrant children, did not adequately track them until after a judge ruled that children must be reunited with their families, according to the report by the agency’s inspector general. Ann Maxwell, assistant inspector general for evaluations, said the number of children removed from their parents was certainly larger than the 2,737 listed by the government in court documents. Those documents chronicled separations that took place as parents were criminally prosecuted for illegally entering the country under President Donald Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy. “It’s certainly more,” Maxwell said. “But precisely how much more is unknown.” Maxwell said investigators didn’t have specific numbers, but that Health and Human Services staff had estimated the tally to be in the thousands. Lee Gelernt, an American Civil Liberties Union attorney who sued on behalf of a mother separated from her son, said the separation policy “was a cruel disaster from the start. This report reaffirms that the government never had a clear picture of how many children it ripped from their parents.” Most of the tens of thousands of children who come into government custody cross the border alone. But the report found that in late 2016, 0.3 percent of children turned over to Health and Human Services had crossed with a parent and were separated. By the summer of 2017, that percentage had grown to 3.6 percent, officials said. OBITUARIES VANMETER MASON — Virginia Marie VanMeter, 73, of Mason, West Virginia, died on Jan. 16, 2019.

He pleaded guilty Thursday to one OVI charge and one for possession of a drug abuse instrument in the Gallipolis Municipal Court. The other charges were dismissed. The convicted was sentenced to a mandatory fine of $375, a mandatory one-year license suspension, a maximum of 180 days in jail and credited with 156 already served because Preston never posted bond. His sentence will run concurrent with what was declared in Gallia Common Pleas as per the Ohio Revised Code. For the drug abuse instrument charge, he was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which he was credited with 90, having already served them.

Gallipolis Municipal complaint records say that Preston “was traveling westbound on State Route 588 in the area of milepost 6 (Aug. 15, 2018, afternoon of Gallia County). At this location, Preston struck Robert Baxter (Jr.) as Baxter was traveling on a motorcycle eastbound on State Route 588. At the time of the collision, Preston was traveling in the eastbound lane of State Route 588 while attempting to pass a truck on a double yellow line…Due to the impact of the collision, Robert Baxter suffered fatal injuries. (Troopers) were on scene and while conversing with Preston observed signs of obvious impairment. At the request of (the trooper), Preston performed standard field sobriety testing and was determined to be impaired. (Troopers) arrested Preston for OVI.” Preston had previous encounters with law enforcement Tuesday, August 14, 2018. One encounter was reported to occur at a Rio Grande business where he was discovered unresponsive with keys in the ignition of a running vehicle. The second was reported at a business on Jackson Pike with Preston at approximately 11:30 p.m., the same Tuesday evening. He was arrested for OVI, after going through a field sobriety test, taken back to the Ohio State Highway Patrol post and processed for the reported incident. Preston was released into the care of an individual who had the situation explained to him, that Preston was still impaired, and who signed a release form to take Preston into their custody and care. Preston was released around 1:30 a.m. in the morning, August 15, 2018. The fatality which resulted in Baxter’s death happened around 12:37 p.m., that afternoon. “I think that when we look at this kind of a case, unfortunately, with the numbers we see with drug use, the environment is ripe for more situations like this,” said Holdren of rising drug impaired driving incidents, “which is a tremendous concern for me. As the prosecutor, on a number of occasions I have had the opportunity to address (State Representative) Ryan Smith to discuss legislation to enhance these penalties. This is truly a tragic situation.” Preston reportedly had traces of metabolized methamphetamine and heroin in his system after Baxter’s death. In closer examination of the specific criminal complaints filed against Preston regarding the mid-August 2018 events leading up to the crash that resulted in Baxter’s death, the Rio Grande incident complaint stated, “(Responding law enforcement officer) was dispatched to an unresponsive male at (gas station in Rio Grande area). Upon arrival, five doses of 4 mg Naloxone was CALDWELL GALLIPOLIS — Emory “Earl” Caldwell, 90, of Gallipolis, Ohio died on Thursday, January 17, 2019 at his son’s residence.

Matthew was behind the driver seat of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition and the engine running. Matthew was removed from the vehicle and was revived. Upon searching the general area where Matthew was sitting, an uncapped needle was located under the driver seat. Matthew informed EMS that he used heroin. Matthew was transported to Holzer Medical Center for treatment. Please issue warrant.” “Ours was a call of an overdose,” said Rio Grande Police Chief Josh Davies previously in August 2018 of Preston’s first encounter with law enforcement over the 48 hour period before Baxter’s death. “He was unresponsive. We were able to get him responsive and he was transported by squad to the hospital. We did our criminal charges and he had to be treated so there was nothing else we could do because he had to be treated by the hospital. Afterwards, I conversed with the (then Gallipolis City Solicitor Adam Salisbury) regarding charges and he recommended we charge him (Preston) with OVI because he was behind the wheel of the vehicle with the keys in the ignition, the engine running and he was unresponsive.” Preston was at the hospital before Rio officers conversed with the solicitor about an OVI charge, said Davies. “There’s ways (charges can be filed),” said Davies. “Obviously, (Preston was out of Rio Grande jurisdiction at the time he was taken to Holzer Medical Center). Usually, a summons or criminal complaint will be filed (with the courts), which is just what we did. We filed a complaint against (Preston). At that time, once he’s taken by the hospital, we don’t know the extent of what’s going to happen…We have to see what happens (whether an individual survives an overdose). It’s kind of a case by case basis on what the situation is. In an overdose, you may have no charges on him whatsoever.” In an attempt to follow procedure, Davies said Rio Grande police went to converse with the solicitor for legal counsel to make certain what was the best course of action to take next. The warrant, as previously illustrated in the complaint from Rio Grande police, was not issued until after the conversation with the solicitor. According to an earlier conversation the same August with Ohio State Highway Patrol Commander Barry Call, troopers had another incident at a gas station on Jackson Pike with Preston at approximately 11:30 p.m., the same Tuesday evening. He was arrested for OVI, after going through a field sobriety test, taken back to the post and processed for the reported incident. Preston was released into the care of an individual who had the situation explained to him, that Preston was still impaired, and who signed a release form to take Preston into his custody and care. Preston was released around 1:30 a.m. in the morning, Wednesday. The fatality which resulted in Baxter’s death happened around 12:37 p.m., that afternoon. “One of (law enforcement) processes is allowing an impaired driver to get a ride (when released),” said Call. OVI charges in Ohio are typically considered misdemeanors. An OVI charge becomes a felony when a suspect has three or more previous OVI convictions within a period of 10 years, according to 4511.19 of the Ohio Revised Code. According to Gallipolis Municipal Court online records, Preston had no previous OVI charges. Court reports say he had previous encounters with law enforcement over the last decade for various issues.

Trump, in a speech at the Pentagon, declared that space is the new warfighting domain. And he vowed that the U.S. will develop an unrivaled missile defense system to protect against advanced hypersonic and cruise missile threats from competitors and adversaries. “Our goal is simple: to ensure that we can detect and destroy any missile launched against the United States — anywhere, anytime, anyplace,” Trump said. “In a time of rapidly evolving threats, we must be certain that our defensive capabilities are unrivaled and unmatched By Catherine Lucey, Matthew Lee, Zeke Miller and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press Steven Senne | AP Internal Revenue Service employees Brian Lanouette, of Merrimack, N.H., center right, and Mary Maldonado, of Dracut, Mass., right, join with others as they display placards during a rally by federal employees and supporters Thursday in front of the Statehouse in Boston, held to call for an end of the partial shutdown of the federal government. FED WORKERS SEEK JOBLESS AID WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of furloughed federal employees seeking unemployment benefits jumped in the first two weeks of the shutdown, topping 10,000 during the week of Jan. 5. The Labor Department said Thursday that is double the number of federal workers who sought aid in the previous week. Typically fewer than a thousand former federal employees apply for jobless benefits each week. Federal employees who aren’t working during the partial government shutdown are eligible to claim unemployment aid, while those working without pay are not, the Labor Department has said. Yet even those sent home will have to repay the unemployment aid if they receive back pay once the shutdown ends. The number of Americans overall who sought unemployment benefits last week declined 3,000 to 213,000, the government said. That figure doesn’t include federal beneficiaries, who are tracked in a separate category. Applications by federal workers are reported with a one-week delay. wanted Pelosi to stay in Washington before Tuesday, a deadline to prepare the next round of paychecks for federal workers. “We want to keep her in Washington,” Sanders said. “The president wants her here to negotiate.” Trump was taken by surprise by Pelosi’s move to postpone his address and told one adviser that it was the sort of disruptive move that he would do himself, according to a Republican who is in frequent contact with the White House and was not authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. While he maintained a public silence, Trump grew weary of how Pelosi’s move was being received on cable TV and reiterated fears that he was being outmaneuvered in the public eye. Trump was delighted at the idea of canceling Pelosi’s trip, believing the focus on the resources needed would highlight her hypocrisy for cancelling his speech, according to the Republican. While Pelosi did not directly respond to being denied her trip, the No. 2 Democrat in the House, Rep. Steny Hoyer, called Trump’s action “petty. It is small. It is vindictive.” And Rep. Adam Schiff of California slammed Trump for revealing the closely held travel plans. (The president’s trip to Iraq was not disclosed in advance for security reasons.) “I think the president’s decision to disclose a trip the speaker’s making to a war zone was completely and utterly irresponsible in every way,” Schiff said. Some Republicans also expressed frustration. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham tweeted: “One sophomoric response does not deserve another.” He called Pelosi’s State of the Union move “very irresponsible and blatantly political” but said Trump’s effort was “also inappropriate.” Trump has still not said how he will handle Pelosi’s attempt to have him postpone his State of the Union address until the government is reopened so workers can be paid for providing security for the grand Washington tradition. Pelosi told reporters earlier Thursday: “Let’s get a date when government is open. Let’s pay the employees. Maybe he thinks it’s OK not to pay people who do work. I don’t.” Trump declined to address the stalemate over the speech Thursday during a visit to the Pentagon, simply promising that the nation will have “powerful, strong border security.” Pelosi reiterated she is willing to negotiate money for border security once the government is reopened, but she said Democrats remain opposed to Trump’s long-promised wall. “I’m not for a wall,” Pelosi said twice, mouthing the statement a third time for effect. While the shutdown dragged on, the State Department instructed all U.S. diplomats in Washington and elsewhere to return to work next week with pay, saying it had found money for their salaries at least temporarily. In a notice to staff, the department said it can pay most of its employees beginning Sunday or Monday for their next pay period. They will not be paid for time worked since the shutdown began in December until the situation is resolved, said the notice.

He denied her an aircraft to visit troops abroad. The shutdown battle between President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is playing out as a surreal game of constitutional brinksmanship, with both flexing their political powers from opposite ends of Pennsylvania Avenue as the negotiations to end the monthlong partial government shutdown remain stalled. In dramatic fashion, Trump issued a letter to Pelosi on Thursday, just before she and other lawmakers were set to depart on the previously undisclosed trip to Afghanistan and Brussels. Trump belittled the trip as a “public relations event” and said it would be best if Pelosi remained in Washington to negotiate to reopen the government. “Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative!” concluded Trump, who had been smarting since Pelosi, the day before, called on him to postpone his Jan. 29 State of the Union address due to the shutdown. Denying military aircraft to a senior lawmaker is very rare and Congress was caught off guard. A bus to ferry the legislators to their departure idled outside the Capitol on Thursday afternoon. Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said the speaker planned to travel to Afghanistan and Brussels to thank service members and obtain briefings on national security and intelligence “from those on the front lines.” He noted Trump had traveled to Iraq during the shutdown and said a Republican-led congressional trip also had taken place. The political tit-fortat between Trump and Pelosi laid bare how the government-wide crisis has devolved into an intensely personal clash between two leaders determined to prevail over one another. It took place as hundreds of thousands of federal workers go without pay and Washington’s routine protocols — a president’s speech to Congress, a lawmaker’s official trip — become collateral damage in the budget fight. Pelosi would normally make such a trip on a military aircraft supplied by the Pentagon. According to a defense official, Pelosi did request Defense Department support for overseas travel and it was initially approved. The official wasn’t authorized to speak by name about the matter, so spoke on condition of anonymity. The official said the president does have the authority to cancel the use of military aircraft. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump anywhere in the world.” Trump did not mention Russia, China or North Korea in his roughly 20-minute speech. But the Pentagon’s new strategy makes clear that its plan for a more aggressive space-based missile defense system is aimed at protecting against existing threats from North Korea and Iran and countering advanced weapon systems being developed by Russia and China. The new review is the first since 2010, and it concludes that to adequately protect America, the Pentagon must expand defense technologies in space and use those systems to more quickly detect, track and ultimately defeat incoming missiles. Acting Defense Secretary Pat Shanahan, who also spoke, said the new hypersonic missiles being developed by nations such as Russia and China are harder to see, harder to track and harder to defeat.

TV14 �CHURCH 4A Friday, January 18, 2019 This is where it gets interesting “And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field…” To me, one of the most compelling stories of the Bible has to do with the oracle, Balaam. This man had a career and reputation for being a prophet-for-hire, and Pastor Ron apparently, according Branch to the Biblical record, Contributing God used the man to columnist communicate certain matters to men. Balaam was a person of influence in his day. In this particular situation, the King of Moab wanted Balaam to curse the Israelites, who were massed along the border of Moab. The King felt that a curse would be more effective for his kingdom than engaging in a military clash with the emigrating Jews. The potential remuneration from the Moabites for the desired service enticed Balaam. And, although God instructed him not to have any part with it, Balaam decided to do it nonetheless. This is where it gets very interesting. God decided to kill the man for his decision to accept the project. The Angel of the Lord stood in the road with sword drawn for that purpose. But, three times, the ass Balaam rode saw the danger and evaded it. Eventually, the Angel told Balaam, “I went out to withstand thee because thy way is perverse before me. The ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.” Don’t you know Balaam must have given God thanks for the ass? In so many terms, we are just like Balaam. We envision some inane schemes about what we will do concerning certain things. It may involve determinations for revenge or payback. It may involve developing a plan for a verbal attack. It may involve doing something you well know you cannot afford. But, in the end, if circumstances evolve that you cannot complete the plans, then, thank God for it. We all have been guilty of such. We all have fantacized about doing certain things. But, for whatever reason, we were prevented from accomplishing it. Something “withstood” us. We would have caused more harm than good had we followed through. Furthermore, we would have jeopardized potential good for ourselves. Ultimately, we should thank God that He kept us from doing wrong. He graciously saves us from ourselves. Here is the lesson: we read that, when approached, Balaam consulted the Lord about it. That was the right thing to do. God told him definitely not to go. That was His instruction. That was His expressed will. In the end, however, Balaam went anyway, and, had it not been for the ass, Balaam would have experienced measureable harm for himself. By contrast, the important thing for us to do is to measure our perceived intentions against what is the Lord’s revealed will. Does God reveal His will to us when we consult Him about our plans? Most certainly He does. First, His will is revealed in His Word. It is there He tells us how he wants us to deal with adverse circumstances in our lives. It is there that He tells us how He wants us to deal with other people. It is there that He tells us what kinds of attitudes we should possess. Second, there is the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Do you not know that the Spirit’s leadership is supremely associated with good, and not harm or evil? He will lead us to do what is right. He will lead us to bring God honor and glory, and not criticism of Him through us, and our actions. Then, two things we must do: be obedient and stay obedient. Then, determine to give God time to work things out. Otherwise, we may not see quickly enough the Angel standing in the way. Now, what makes me laugh about this story is the conversation Balaam had with the ass. The ass spoke. Balaam talked back to the ass. Sounds like something we do sometimes. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Daily Sentinel A wedding miracle - John 2: 1-11 Many weddings today are big events where lots of people attend. There is the wedding ceremony, and then there is the wedding reception usually where all the people gather and wish the newlyweds good luck, eat, maybe dance, and have a wonderful time celebrating the happy couple. In Jesus’ day, it was the same at a wedding in Cana that Jesus, His Disciples, and His mother all attended. But an awful thing happened at the banquet; they ran out of wine. The bride’s father didn’t know what to do because he was supposed to have enough food and drink for the whole feast. He felt terrible and embarrassed! Mary, Jesus’ mother, heard Then Jesus said to what was going on, them, now take some and she didn’t want out and give it to the the father to be embarmaster of the feast. rassed, so she found The servants took the Jesus and told Him water to the master. what had happened.

So they His glory, and His Disciples believed in Him. filled all the jars to the top. Because the servants did what Jesus told them to do, a good thing happened. Jesus wants good things for our lives too. If we do what Jesus tells us to do, good things will happen to us also. Always try to be the sort of person Jesus wants you to be. You will be happier when you do and good things will be in your future! Let’s say our prayer for the week. Father God, we thank You for sending Jesus to show us the way. Help us to do what He has told us to do in your Holy Word. In the name of Jesus we pray.

On August 28, 1963, Dr. King spoke tered fellowship that we can have with one another. words that still hold enormous power See, God has a dream, too. His for us, “I have a dream that one day… dream is that His people would “love the sons of former slaves and the sons one another.

I have a dream that one day… will know that we are His disciples, if we love one another” (from John 13:34little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys 35). I have no doubt that this is why Jesus prayed in His last great intercesand white girls and walk together as sory prayer before His crucifixion, “… sisters and brothers.” “…As sisters and brothers.” And such I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all does God intend. of them may be one, Father, just as You Sadly, human nature generally runs are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one: I in them and You in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me” (John 17:20-23). Although there is so much that is not right with the world, let us not turn our backs on the pursuit of equality and justice, especially when God’s aim continues to be unity among His people. Let us not forsake the high and holy calling of brotherhood with others who are His children, whatever their skin color, gender or nationality. May “the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, since as members of one body we were called to peace” (from Colossians 3:15) for we know that “there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28). May the spirit of fellowship and unity that His Spirit washes upon us, open your heart and mind to the joy of true brotherhood that Christ brings to His people.

It is a sad fact that many, if we give ourselves to sin, we given such freedom decide that are slaves of sin (cf. Romans it is an opportunity for vice and 6:15-22) In Christ, God is giving us a reckless immaturity. Our heavenly Father, however, hopes for chance to move past the slavbetter things from His children. ery and bondage of spiritual The point Paul is trying to immaturity and to throw off the shackles of sin.

We have been freed from the shackles of sin; it would be extremely foolish to rush right back to the chains of such slavery. We have been freed from the restraints normally placed on children, we should stand firm, therefore, and act like responsible adults. Rather than immaturely looking upon the opportunity as an occasion to act foolishly and selfishly, we should prove ourselves to God by using our free-will to serve others instead of self. $10,075 to Washington County, and $35,640 to the Middleport Jail. The Meigs County Commissioners meet each Thursday at 11 a.m. in their office located on the third floor of the Meigs County Courthouse. Sarah Hawley is the managing editor of The Daily Sentinel. It is interesting that Paul is essentially telling us that God is wanting to treat us like adults, allowing us to show to Him that we can make good choices with our lives. When we think about freedom, is this how we think – asking ourselves how we can use our opportunities and choices to help others? Or do we often think of freedom in terms of what we can do for ourselves? How we think in this regard says a lot about our actual spiritual maturity. For the mature, freedom is not an opportunity for indulgence, but is rather an occasion to demonstrate wisdom and Unlikely From page 4A So why in the world is Jesus asking a tax collector to be one of His disciples? Why is Jesus eating with these people? Because Jesus chooses the unlikely. He is a friend of sinners. If you still don’t believe me, let me show you another example. “But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way [Christians], men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem” (Acts 9:1-2 ESV). Meet Saul. He kills Christians. He’s the worst of the worst. But for some reason, Jesus calls him to be a disciple. While Saul is on his way to murder more followers of Christ, God approaches Him. The Bible says, “… suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’ And he said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And he said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do’” (v. 3-6 ESV). Turns out, Saul is blinded. A guy named Ananias speaks to him on behalf of the Lord. God tells Ananias, “‘Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel’” (v. 15 ESV). Wow. First a tax collector. Now a murderer. Why in the world does Jesus choose such nasty people to be His disciples? Need I say it again? Jesus chooses the unlikely. Saul’s name is changed to Paul. The Apostle Paul. Probably the most respected man besides Jesus Christ in the New Testament. This is a message for someone who feels too rambunctious to be a disciple of Jesus. If that’s you, God wants you to know that He is more than enough for you. He desires to redeem your life. Just like Matthew. Just like Paul. We’re all sinners. None of us are good enough. But if you feel like you’re the worst of the worst, then know God sees your best. All it takes is a willing heart. Isaiah Pauley is passionate about sharing Jesus in a simple way.

(AP) — The even-keeled executive with the crisp suit and winning smile stood inside the mostly empty Kansas City Chiefs locker room, his team having just won a home playoff game for the first time in 25 years. He talked about how much it meant to their long-suffering fans. Spoke glowingly about coach Andy Reid, and his young superstar quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. He praised the rest of a team that captured its third straight AFC West title along with seven others in what would be called “The Foolish Club” founded the AFL. The personable Texas businessman’s importance to establishing the modern NFL was honored in 1984, when the league renamed the silver trophy awarded to the AP file winner of the AFC chamNew England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, left, and Kansas City pionship game the Lamar Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes face off in the AFC title at Hunt Trophy.

They won at Buffalo to reach the first Super Bowl, and in Oakland on their way to their lone Super Bowl triumph in 1970. They lost their only other appearance in Buffalo in January 1994. Indeed, the opportunity to return to the NFL’s biggest stage for the first time in 49 years has been a long time coming. The Chiefs lost eight consecutive postseason games during one maddening stretch, and squandered the No. 1 seed along the way.

(AP) — Marcus Peters stood at a podium Wednesday and spoke about his respect for Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints. He insisted his feisty comments about the coach two months ago had been misinterpreted and blown out of proportion by controversyhungry fans and media. And then his coach popped up in the back of the room. “Let me get some of that soup!” Sean McVay yelled. One way or another, gumbo will be served at the NFC championship game. As the Saints and the Los Angeles Rams began their preparation for Sunday’s showdown, Peters and Payton downplayed the importance of what occurred during and after the teams’ first meeting at the Superdome this season. The cornerback and the coach expressed a warm mutual regard and no hard feelings from November. “We’re trying to play a game,” Peters said Wednesday. “We ain’t trying to talk about no gumbo. We can talk about all that stuff afterward.” Still, here’s the backstory on the Creole kerfuffle, for those with an appetite: New Orleans beat the Rams 45-35, with Drew Brees shredding Los Angeles’ secondary for 346 yards and four TDs while handing the Rams their first loss of the season. In particular, receiver Michael Thomas appeared to dominate his matchup with Peters, who acknowledges he had a poor game. Afterward, Payton acknowledged the Saints had targeted Peters because they liked the matchup with Thomas — a bold statement to make about a former Pro Bowl cornerback. That drew the attention of Peters, who responded sharply back home in the Rams’ locker room. “Tell Sean Payton, keep talking that (stuff),” Peters said at the time. “We’re going to see him soon. You feel me? Yeah. ‘Cause I like what he was saying on the sideline, too. Tell him he can keep talking that (stuff), and I hope he sees me soon. You feel me? Then we’re going to have a good little, nice little bowl of gumbo together.” Peters is a personable athlete and an aggressive competitor. He is also an interesting character who isn’t afraid to let people know it — and that’s something of a rarity in the frequently buttoned-up, corporate world of professional football. Peters says his comments weren’t meant “to be disrespectful or anything like that. I was Drought mean, when your name is on it, that’s a pretty big thing,” said current Chiefs coach Andy Reid, From page 6A who still remembers meeting Lamar Hunt Gonzalez, Priest during an ownership Holmes, Joe Montana — yet never managed to meeting years ago.

I didn’t have the game that I wanted to have.” Before McVay made light of the situation with his shout, he put it in perspective. “I think it was all in good fun,” McVay said. “I think there’s a competitiveness that exists. There’s a lot of dialogue that goes back and forth when you have relationships or you have history with people. I think Marcus was having fun with it, and I know that he has a whole lot of respect for Coach Payton and the Saints.” Payton also was asked about the interplay repeatedly Wednesday, but the veteran coach only repeated his respect for the Rams and their volatile cornerback. “I’m a huge Marcus Peters fan,” Payton said. “A lot of it was friendly banter, but he’s a tremendous player, a real talented player with dangerous ball skills. He’s someone that you have to know where he’s at all times.” Peters repeatedly refused to indulge in trash talk or any additions to a budding rivalry Wednesday, and he explained exactly why. “I see y’all trying to make it to be something that it’s not,” Peters told reporters. “All respect to Sean Payton and what he does. Like you say, before, during the game, things happen, but I just love the fact that he’s a competitor.” make sure everybody knows the importance. “One of the awesome things we do with our player development team is that they take us through the whole history,” Mahomes said. “We come over to the museum that we have in the stadium and they take us through how he made the AFL, pretty much from scratch, and had this vision for what is now the AFC and combined it with the NFL and made this beautiful league. “It truly is special for someone like that who has created your franchise,” Mahomes added. “You want to do whatever you can to bring honor to him and that family.” The Patriots are no strangers to hoisting the Lamar Hunt Trophy, of course. They are playing for it for the eighth consecutive season, and the coach-quarterback combination of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady have succeeded in hoisting it eight times since their first real season together in 2001.

The ongoing partial government shutdown is “uncharted territory” amid planning for one of the world’s biggest sporting events, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Tuesday. “Obviously, we are in uncharted territory with the shutdown that’s gone on this long, and we are preparing as best we can from our vantage point,” Bottoms said. The mayor and others at a Tuesday news conference said two years of planning have TSA workers have been calling in sick at a rate that’s been more than double what it normally is, the agency has said. That’s led to a shortage of screeners at some airports across the country. No-shows among screeners jumped Sunday and again Monday. The TSA had a national absence rate of nearly 7 percent Monday, compared to 2.5 percent on a comparable day a year ago, the agency reported Tuesday after getting complete numbers on the absences. A chaotic scene unfolded at Atlanta’s airport on Monday, the first business day after screeners did not receive a paycheck for the first time. Bottoms said. “We are continuing to encourage people to get to the airport very early.” The expected crush of travelers is significantly more than normal. On a typical day, 60,000 to 80,000 passengers are screened at Atlanta’s airport before departing, airport statistics show. On Feb. 4, the day Bottoms calls “Mass Exodus Monday,” about 110,000 passengers are expected to be departing from Atlanta’s airport one day after the Super Bowl. The partial government shutdown has meant missed paychecks for Transportation Security Administration screeners at airports nationwide. them well-prepared to protect the public. “Our goal is for our officers to be visible, for the public to feel safe, be safe, and be able to position ourselves so that we can react immediately to whatever scenario we are confronted with,” Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields said. “I think that with anything you can go in with a spirit of confidence if you have prepared, and we have prepared well.” But the government shutdown is a wild card that arose relatively late in that planning process. “Certainly there are factors that we don’t control such as what’s happening with our federal government shutdown and with the long TSA lines,” Mondays are typically busy for the airport as Atlanta business travelers depart for the work week, and some security lanes went unstaffed as lines backed up. “Please plan ahead and give yourself 3 hours to clear security,” Atlanta airport officials on Monday advised passengers via the airport’s Twitter account. Atlanta passengers led the nation Monday in terms of longest screening delays: The “maximum standard wait time” was 88 minutes, the TSA reported. Passengers who went through TSA PreCheck — an expedited screening program which is typically faster than regular lines — waited 55 minutes, statistics showed. Bob Costas exits NBC Sports Nurkic has triple-double and Blazers beat Cavaliers 129-112 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bob Costas, who stepped down as NBC’s prime-time Olympics host two years ago, has left the network’s sports division altogether. NBC Sports said Wednesday that Costas parted ways with his longtime employer, providing no further details. Sandy Montag, Costas’ manager, said it was handled smoothly. “Everything in this transition was planned and done (by) mutual agreement,” Montag said in an emailed statement. He said Costas had a “great partnership” with executives including Dick Ebersol and Mark Lazarus, the current NBC Broadcasting & Sports chairman. Costas, 66, served as the emcee for NBC’s Olympics 11 times starting in 1992. In early Gail Burton | AP file Sportscaster Bob Costas has parted ways with NBC, his longtime employer, the network announced Wednesday. A representative for Costas didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. No further details were provided. 2017, he stepped aside for network newcomer Mike Tirico, formerly with ESPN. When the switch was announced in early 2017, Costas said he had decided on his own that TODAY 8 AM WEATHER the time was right for a change. He said then he wanted to do longform programming and commentary on special events, likening his new role to what former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw does for the network. On Tuesday, Costas told the New York Post of his decision to leave NBC Sports, saying his departure was settled “quietly and happily for all concerned.” In August 2018, the paper reported that he was no longer satisfied with his role at NBC and a contract that limited his participation in other projects. Costas, who joined NBC Sports in 1979, has covered baseball, football and basketball and horse racing as well as served as the face and voice of the Olympics. 2 PM 39° 40° 38° HEALTH TODAY Statistics through 3 p.m. Thu.

MEIGS COUNTY — A love of books and a volunteer position at the Middleport and Pomeroy Libraries during high school led Olita Lewis Heighton to a 35-year career with the Meigs County District Public Library. Heighton initially worked at the libraries as part of her project requirement for the Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest accomplishment for Girls Scouts, equivalent to the Eagle Scout Award for Boy Scouts. When her project was completed, she continued as a volunteer, “because I just enjoyed being there so much.” Heighton graduated from Middleport High School See BOOKS | 4B Mindy Kearns is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing. The importance of screenings for your health Stop for a moment and think about how many people you know who are dealing with cancer. How many of them are in the Point Pleasant area alone? With nearly 2 million new cases of cancerrelated illnesses diagnosed in the United States each year, truly a disease that touches all ages, genders, and people. The most important thing you can do to minimize the risks of cancer is schedule regular screenings. These routine checkups can help find cancers early and improve your chances of making a total recovery when faced with a cancer diagnosis. Here are the facts: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States. If you were or are currently a heavy smoker and between the ages of 55 and older, ask your doctor about a Low-Dose CT and went on to receive a degree in English Literature at Ohio University in Athens, where her studies included several Library Science classes. Following graduation, she married Emmerson Heighton, who was serving in the Navy. The couple spent several years in various locations around the country before settling “back home” in Middleport. They purchased Cross’ Hardware store and were the proprietors from 1975 until its closing in 1983. Raising her two children, Emily and David, was also the focus of her time. When David went to kindergarten, Heighton said she knew she needed to do something outside the home.

Crocheting with kindness By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel Photos PVH | Courtesy Suresh Agrawal, radiologist. MD, MEIGS COUNTY — Some contributions are public and visible, while others, are done behind the scenes and often go unnoticed. Such is the case with Mary Delores King of Pomeroy, who in the past three years has crocheted over 465 hats for cancer patients and “people in other countries who just need a warm hat.” Each year, members of the Modern Woodmen of America recognize the work of individuals in their community who are dedicated to serving others, and make a donation to a charity of the honored person’s choice. This year, Meigs County Chapter 7230 in Burlingham chose to honor King for her work during a surprise picnic in her honor; she named Chester Shade Historical Association as the recipient of the donation. King has a long history of being involved in her community, and said “I was born and raised in Meigs County. When I married, I moved two miles down the road and have lived there for 70 years.” King proudly shared that she was “going on 90”, “I’ll be 90 next April, the Lord willing, but I’m not old yet.” Her definition of “old” is to be ill tempered, possessive, complaining, not wanting to do anything.

The Holzer Therapy and Wellness Center would like to share tips on how to be healthy and active, even when you may not feel like it. Getting up and moving is one of the best ways for seniors to stay active. “A little bit of exercise and the social time benefits the physical and mental wellness of those that come to exercise or exercise in their own homes,” Mike Hemphill, MAT, PTA, CAE, manager and wellness coach of Holzer Therapy and Wellness Center said. “If seniors can do 30 minutes of exercise each day, at a low intensity level, the effects can make individ- uals feel better and alleviate many aches and pains.” When exercising, be aware of your blood pressure and blood oxygen levels. You want to keep your blood pressure at approximately 120/80 and blood oxygen level in the high 90s.

In fact, if it’s found early enough, there’s a 100 percent chance you’ll be cured if cancer is found. All men over the age of 40 should schedule regular prostate cancer screenings. Breast cancer is one of the most com­ mon cancers for women in the United States. To help minimize the risk of being diagnosed with this type of cancer, women over the age of 40 should get regular mam­ mograms. If you have a family history, it’s recom­ mended to start at age 35. Self-exams are also important, so know what your breasts look like nor­ mally, and contact your doctor immediately if anything changes. Watch­ ing for abnormalities may just save your life. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among both men and women in the United States. Beginning at age 50, both men and women should get regular colonoscopies. During a colonoscopy, abnormal polyps can be removed to help reduce your chances of getting this type of cancer. You can trust that you or those you love will be in good hands if a cancer diagnoses occurs.

Some of those questions may stem from things you have heard; however, how many of those topics are actually true? Holzer Hospice debunks common hospice myths with quality care, support, and education to ensure you and your family understand what hospice care entails. Vicki Nottingham, BSN, RN, CHPN, director of Hospice and Extra Care, shared that the most common myth is that hospice staff will stop a patient’s medication and begin to administer morphine.

Patients can be on the program for up to a year and even be discharged from hospice care because their health improved. Everything depends on the disease process, the patient, and how the patient feels about the disease process and program. Hospice is also not a form of care just for cancer patients. This is a myth that has come up recently in discussions with Nottingham. “Hospice can be utilized for any disease process that is life-limiting and in end stages, such as chronic diseases like congestive heart failure,” Nottingham said. These myths, and other questions, can be directed to Holzer Hospice staff for clarification. Our team will provide you and your family with support and answer any questions individual’s may have regarding hospice care.

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations and death among older adults. Many medications and health conditions can contribute to a higher risk of falls. It is important to regularly review medications with your pharmacist or health care professional so that you can understand the side effects, drug interactions and any other important information. A prescription to prevent falls: Tips from STEADY U Ohio Maintain a list of all the medicines you take. Include doses, frequency and prescribing doctor. Also include any overthe-counter medicines (pain relievers, antacids, cold medicines, etc.) or supplements you take. Bring the list with you to doctor’s appointments and when you pick up prescriptions. Read the label. If it says “may cause dizziness or drowsiness,” or cautions against driving, ask about the best time to take it to avoid falls. Also ask about alternative treatments with less hazardous side effects. Take your medicine exactly as prescribed. If you find it hard to stick to a medication schedule or if you have trouble telling medicines apart, your doctor or pharmacist may have some ideas to help. Similarly, ask your doctor to write detailed directions on how and when to take your medications. Talk to your doctor about changes to your eating habits (such as a low-fat or high-calcium diet), as well as how much caffeine and alcohol you consume, as these can affect how your medicines work. Ask your pharmacist about easier-to-read labels and instructions if you have trouble reading warnings or directions on your medicine containers. Choose over-the-counter medicines that only have the ingredients you need. Your pharmacist can help select the best medicine options for your symptoms. The Area Agency on Aging District 7 offers “A Matter of Balance”, an evidence-based program developed by Boston University, to individuals age 60 and over free of charge.

The trust established through great care at Holzer Assisted Living is the reason that the respite stay program is a wonderful opportunity available for a variety of situations. “Respite care is for people that want to come for a short stay, like if someone wants to come while they’re recovering from surgery,” Hackworth said. “It’s not meant to be permanent, but it sometimes can turn into a permanent stay.” Respite care provides families who are caregivers of their loved ones a short break and can be used as a trial stay for those needing a safe place during the cold winter months. A respite stay can last anywhere from one day to a few months.
