Meigs Heritage Festival Car Show results By Lorna Hart Special to OVP CHESTER, Ohio — The Meigs Heritage Festival Car Show has become an integral part of the day’s activities, and this year featured a diverse group of 67 cars and trucks. Car show enthusiasts were pleased with the event that drew a large crowd of spectators, and were happy for the ideal fall weather. Often car shows are canceled due to weather — none of the owner’s chance bringing their cars out in less than those ideal conditions due to the hard work involved to maintain such vehicles. Show organizer Linda Blosser said the worst thing that can happen on show day is to wake up to inclement weather. “If it is cloudy, everyone gets a bit nervous,” Blosser said. “We follow the weather closely, it is unpredictable, and it is disappointing to have to cancel at the last minute. We were so happy to have such a nice day to bring out our cars.” Blosser and her husband Bud have firsthand experience with car shows. The couple spend their weekends at area shows with their 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. “It is something we like doing,” Blosser said. “It is like a family; we all get to know one other and enjoy each other’s cars on display.” This year’s Festival show featured vehicles from the 1930’s through 2020 spread across the Commons below the Old Meigs County Courthouse.

Blosser said Eileen choose this year’s winner, Mike Walker, who made an emotional acceptance of the trophy. “Jerry Hill was at all the car shows,” Blosser said. “Everyone really misses him.” AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Seventeen members of the CAM have been kidnapped. A joint statement by the hostages’ families said “God has given our loved ones the unique opportunity to live out our Lord’s command to, ‘love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.’” ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Matt Rodgers, Ext. 2095 mrodgers@aimmediamidwest.com CIRCULATION MANAGER Derrick Morrison, Ext. 2097 dmorrison@aimmediamidwest.com too radical to Catholics and fellow Protestants alike. Anabaptists in particular draw on the biblical Sermon on the Mount, which contains some of Jesus’ most radical and countercultural sayings — to love enemies, live simply, bless persecutors, turn the other cheek, endure sufferings joyfully. “Living out the Sermon on the Mount principles is one of the key tenets of our faith,” said Wayne Wengerd, a member of a steering committee that represents the Amish in church-state relations. “That is something that we take literally.” Those principles mandate “we do good to those who hurt or persecute us, and we pray for not only those that are likeminded but those that are not yet within the faith,” he said. Wengerd, who lives in Wayne County, adjacent to Holmes, said it would be a misunderstanding to view such a mindset as callous to the real suffering involved with the kidnappings.

It probably won’t even get people to stop calling the social media giant Facebook — or a “social media giant,” for that matter. But that isn’t stopping Zuckerberg, seemingly eager to move on to his next big thing as crisis after crisis emerges at the company he created. While largely dismissing revelations from the the Facebook Papers as unfair criticism, Zuckerberg has focused on building a virtual environment you can go inside of instead of just looking at on a screen. 52° 36° Murray City 61/50 McArthur 61/50 Waverly 62/50 TUESDAY 63° 37° Intervals of clouds and sunshine Shown is today’s weather.

FRANKFORT, Ohio — The Lady Eagles came out swinging … and had nothing left for the later rounds of the fight. The Eastern volleyball team had its 2021 campaign come to an end on Wednesday night during a 25-22, 25-15, 25-11 setback to top-seeded Adena in a Division III Waverly 1 district semifinal match in Ross County. The host Lady Warriors (222) and 13th-seeded Lady Eagles (14-10) battled through 15 ties and 11 lead changes in the opening set, with neither team lead- ing by more than four points the entire time. EHS reeled off three straight points after breaking a 17-all tie for its largest lead of the night, which forced Adena to call a timeout down 20-17. AHS countered with seven straight points and eight of the final 10 points to rally for a 3-point win and a 1-0 match advantage. The Lady Eagles never led again and didn’t even manage a tie in the final two games as the Lady Warriors built respective leads of 10 and 14 points down the stretch to complete the straight-game decision. AHS advances to the D-3 Waverly 1 district final at 11 a.m. Saturday and will face 6th-seeded Northwest at Waverly High School. The Lady Mohawks defeated Nelsonville-York by a 3-2 count in the other D-3 Waverly 1 district semifinal. Juli Durst led the Eastern service attack with six points and two aces, plus dished out a teambest 16 assists. Brielle Newland and Addi Well were next with five service points apiece, while Megan Maxon added three points and Sydney Reynolds chipped in one point. Maxon led the net attack with See EAGLES | 9 Rio rallies to upend Red Wolves By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The 2021 home finale for the University of Rio Grande women’s volleyball team was one chock full of scoring runs. Fortunately, those runs favored the RedStorm in the end. Head coach Billina Donaldson’s squad rallied from big deficits to begin both the third and fourth set en route to a 3-1 (24-26, 25-21, 25-23, 25-22) victory over Indiana University East, Wednesday night, in River States Conference action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande, which won for the fourth time in its last six outings, improved to 9-13 overall and 7-7 in league play with the win. The victory snapped an eight-game losing streak for the RedStorm against the Red Wolves and was just Rio’s third win in 16 all-time meetings with IUE — its first since consecutive wins on Oct. 15 and Oct. 25, 2016. The East Division-leading Red Wolves, who lost for the fifth time in their last seven matches, slipped to 14-11 overall and 9-4 in the RSC with the loss. IUE was the beneficiary of a scoring spurt of its own in set one, reeling of six straight winners to thwart off a 24-20 deficit. The Red Wolves also erased a pair of threepoint deficits late in set two to forge a 21-all deadlock, but Rio Grande evened the match by scoring the final four points of the stanza — three on which came on blocks by the RedStorm of IUE attacks. Rio finished with five solo blocks and a seasonhigh 26 block assists as a team, the program’s top defensive game at the net since recording eight solos and 24 assists, ironically enough, against IU East on Oct. 4, 2019. The RedStorm trailed 8-2 to begin set three and found itself down 20-16 late in the period before scoring nine of the final 12 points to win the set and grab the match lead. IUE bolted to an 8-1 advantage in the fourth set and maintained a 21-17 cushion late, but Rio Grande rallied for eight of the final nine winners to close things out. Sophomore Amanda Rarick (Canal Winchester, OH) had 19 kills to go along with one solo block and six block assists, while junior Jess Youse (Pettisville, OH) had 14 kills, four block assists and three service aces in the winning effort. Freshman Avery Huntzinger (Canal Winchester, OH) had 39 assists for the RedStorm, while sophomore Darcie Walters (Sparta, OH) had 15 digs and fellow sophomore Shalea Byrd (Canal Winchester, OH) had three solo blocks and nine See RIO | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Oct. 29 Football (13) Gallia Academy at (4) Heath, 7 p.m. Ripley at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Wahama at Magnolia, 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30 Football (13) Eastern at (4) East Knox, 7 p.m. Cross Country D2, D3 Regionals at PHSN, 9 a.m. College Football Iowa State at West Virginia, 2 p.m. FIU at Marshall, 3:30 Penn State at Ohio State, 7:30 Photos by Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Members of the Gallia Academy football team take the field during an Oct. 1 matchup against Coal Grove at Memorial Field in Gallipolis, Ohio.

Phillip | AP Houston Astros’ Jose Altuve celebrates after a home run during the seventh inning in Game 2 of the World Series between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday in Houston. Houston beat Atlanta 7-2 night to even the series at 1-1. Altuve tied former Yankees star Bernie Williams for second on the career postseason home run list with 22, trailing only the 29 by Manny Ramirez. To Baker, there was nothing surprising about Altuve’s performance. And he figures the other Astros infielders -- Correa, Bregman and Yuli Gurriel -- also will play key roles. “They expect good things to happen and they expect to play well. They expect to do good. I found that out last year,” he said. “We had some guys struggling and they said, well, wait till the playoffs, and we barely squeaked in,” he said. “They said, hey, man, we’re going to turn it on in the playoffs. I haven’t seen many people in this game who can kind of turn it on when they want to.” Altuve has shown that. In 11 seasons, he’s aver- Re -E le ct these spots. It will be the first World Series pairing of rookie starters since the 2006 opener. That night, Anthony Reyes led St. Louis over Detroit and its newcomer, Justin Verlander. This season, Verlander was on Houston’s injured list while recovering from Tommy John surgery. At 23, Anderson is already an October veteran. He’s made seven postseason starts in two years, going 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA. “I’m excited to work with Ian for Game 3. He’s going to be ready to go. He gets to pitch at home. I mean, like I said, I can’t wait to get back home,” said Braves catcher Travis d’Arnaud, who homered Wednesday night. The Braves are 5-0 at home this year in the playoffs and are expecting a loud crowd. “The atmosphere is awesome. Like I say, Braves country is real. It’s real,” manager Brian Snitker said. “That’s why I think it was so important to split here. I mean, realistically, you want to win two, but if you can split and get out of here and go home where we’ve been really good, that’s a very positive.” Altuve helped the Astros earn their split. A postseason perennial, the All-Star second baseman pushed aside a 3-for-24 skid in the ALCS and a hitless opener against the Braves. OH-70258794 ATLANTA — His day on the diamond almost done, Jose Altuve walked over to a clutch of Astros fans clustered behind the netting down the right field line at Minute Maid Park. For five minutes, he autographed World Series programs, No. 27 jerseys and other items, many of them for kids. A young girl got a ball with Altuve’s signature and joyfully turned to her mother. “I’m about to cry,” the mom said. Altuve’s team liked the signs they saw from him earlier in the evening, too. In a Fall Classic devoid of drama so far, the bigswinging leadoff man is among the few stars to deliver any huge hits. Bouncing back from the first three-strikeout game of his postseason career, plus a prolonged slump in the AL Championship Series, Altuve homered and doubled as Houston beat the Atlanta Braves 7-2 Wednesday night, tying the matchup at 1-all. But teammates Carlos Correa, Alex Bregman and AL Championship Series MVP Yordan Alvarez have been mostly silent. Freddie Freeman, Austin Riley and NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario haven’t done much damage for the Braves, either. “You can be 0 for 20, but what about if you get the big hit? So that’s what playoffs is about,” Altuve said. “I don’t care if I went 0 for 5 last night.” As Astros manager Dusty Baker said: “My dad used to tell me it’s OK to get down, just don’t stay down. So he didn’t stay down.” After a day off, they’ll play Game 3 Friday night at Truist Park when Luis Garcia is set to pitch for the Astros against Ian Anderson. Both of them threw well in the games their teams won to clinch aged a home run every 35 at-bats in the regular season; in 75 postseason games, he’s homered once every 14 at-bats. Baker recalled a slugger he managed in San Francisco, and a speedster who played across the Bay. “Come to mind like Barry Bonds. He’s like, I’m going to take over this game today, and he takes it over. Rickey Henderson says, hey, man, I’m going to steal three or four bases, and I’m going to take this game over by myself,” Baker said. “Like I said, you don’t find many players like that, where they have the ability or the mindset or the mind control to do it,” he said.

Del Rio jokes about channeling Tomlin ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Asked about the head coaching vacancy at the University of Southern California that he previously expressed interest in if it ever existed, Jack Del Rio joked about Mike Tomlin’s answer to the same question earlier this week. Washington’s defensive coordinator did not go nearly as far as the Pittsburgh Steelers coach did, calling it a “joke” that he’d take a college job and adding, “Never say never.” But Del Rio expressed appreciation for his current gig when USC came up. “I’m gonna channel some Mike Tomlin right now,” Del Rio said Thursday. “Did he shut it down, or what? Mike’s beautiful. So, yeah. I feel really good about being the defensive coordinator in the NFL, and I like my job.” Del Rio in 2019 told ESPN Radio, “If and when there was ever was anything, yeah I would be interested.” At the time, he expressed support for coach Clay Helton, who was fired earlier this season.

Two weeks ago, I became a dad. And it’s amazing. It really is. But this new season has brought with it new priorities and challenges. In the coming days, I’ll be working more hours and continuing to take classes as a full-time student. And I need to give my attention to those roles and responsibilities. So, I’ll no longer be contributing weekly columns to the newspaper. But make no mistake about it, this is not an end to my ministry. It’s a new season. I’m still preaching God’s Word. And I plan to continue writing occasional articles throughout the year on my website isaiahpauley.com. Despite the changes of this season, I’m clinging to Christ. I’m trusting in His plan for me and my family. And I’m rejoicing in the beauty of what this season has to offer. I wrote my first column in March of 2017. I was a junior in high school. By God’s grace, I’ve written over 200 columns since then. And God has used those columns to open numerous doors for me to grow as a pastor. Several local churches have even contacted me to preach after reading my columns. So, thank you to the newspaper for letting a teenager write weekly columns. And to all of those who have followed my writings for the past four and a half years, I hope you’ll keep an eye on my website for any future articles. Seasons change, but Christ remains. My prayer is that God continues to give me the passion I had in my teenage years to share the Gospel. And I pray He continues to give me opportunities to share it. Because this message is unchanging. It never fails. And it lasts forever. So, allow me to end with 1 Peter 1:24-25: “‘All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.’ And this word is the good news that was preached to you” (ESV).

Rules to live by Nothing to be afraid of with God I know many of you like to play games like I do. It’s a lot of fun to get together with family and friends, and there are all sorts of games we can play too: card games, board games, and activity games. Every game, though, has rules that we must understand and follow before we can actually play. The rules make the game enjoyable and fair, so we can have fun. The rules are usually written on paper and included in the God’s Kids game’s packaging. Did you know there are rules that Korner we are supposed to follow in life, too? Ann Where do you think we can find those Moody rules? They were given to us by God, and He put them in the Bible for us to read and remember. They are called the Ten Commandments and are found in the Old Testament. They are: 1. Put God first. 2. Worship only God. 3. Use God’s name with respect. 4. Remember God’s Sabbath. 5. Respect your parents. 6. Do not hurt other people. 7. Be faithful in marriage. 8. Do not steal. 9. Do not lie. 10. Do not be envious of others. The religious leaders in Jesus’ day all knew those rules. They like to sit in the Synagogue and discuss the “law” as it was called. They especially liked to ask Jesus questions about the law, hoping to trick Him into saying something that would turn the people against Him. One day, they asked Him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Jesus answered, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets depend on these two commandments.” Wow, what a wise answer! None of the leaders dared to ask Him any other questions that day. Think about it. If we all could just love God with our whole being and love all our neighbors like we love ourselves, the world would be a much different place. Each one of us can love and honor God by being kind to everyone. If we did those two rules, the other ones would be followed, as well. Think about Jesus’ answer this coming week and try to love Him, our friends, and ourselves. Let’s say a prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, help us to remember Your rules to live by. Let’s us always love You, take care of people, and take care of ourselves too. In Your holy name we ask this. Amen. somewhat different route of The fall season brings facing and overcoming that many pleasant sights and fear.

Why do people want to celebrate the idea of being afraid the ages have, in fact, faced some pretty monstrous things because of things? Perhaps though, if we of the persecution of their faith understand that what is actually including torture, rape, fire, sword, being celebrated is being “safely starvation and being mauled by afraid,” it is not as odd as all that. People don’t normally truly want wild animals. God didn’t say that these things to be afraid of things. At the same time, fear is a commonality across would not happen. To the contrary, God tells us that, “indeed, all who the human experience, no matter desire to live a godly life in Christ where or when you live.

It is because we believe the promise of Christ, who said, “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. (John 14:1-3; ESV)” The promise of eternal life means that Christians don’t have to be afraid of death if they are with God, because God will be there with them at the crossing from one life to the next, and will be with them after as well. Christians don’t have to worry about how the story of this life unfolds, or be afraid of the events which occur along the way, because when we leave this world, the story is not done, there are an eternity of chapters yet to be written, and in the end the man of faith will overcome and outlast any of the dangers of this life. It is our relationship with God, and our faith in that relationship, which drives away fear. Because God does not give His children a spirit of fear, but fills them with strength, they can go forward into the world with love and self-control, facing every situation with confidence.

In the meantime, at the bottom of the pile, Jesh said the defensive players were making fun of him for being stopped short, little realizing that they had been completely faked out. Chad ran right by by their clapping defensive back on his way to the end zone for an all-important TD for Wahama. Perhaps not everyone was faked out with the fake, but I know I was. I consider it the finest Friday night fake — ever! From this account emerges a clear spiritual consideration. A lot of people are in a condition of needing a critical first down in their lives. That first down is coming in the form of a certain break, or the ability to gain an important advantage. The thought is that they are going to burst through that hindrance to get it. Then, life will be good. “I can do it. Just give me the ball!” they say to themselves. The specific Scriptural image is that of the woman who was in serious bad health because of the issue of blood she had. She tried many times to get that all-important first down with her health by seeking out medical assistance, but she kept being faked out by it. While she thought she had the ball with her self-effort, it kept being pulled out from her. And, on top of that, she was kept short of what she needed. She found herself being piled on with heavy burden. In the meantime, someone else was running with her ball, and getting great benefit. But, in so many terms, she realized that the most important first down she could gain was to come to Jesus Christ. She concluded, “If I could but touch the hem of His garment…” When she did, He gave her fresh spiritual and emotional momentum. It is actually a very simple thing to do when hindrances stop your successful, happy, and peaceful foray in life. Come to Jesus Christ first. Do not be faked out by the ideas, opinions, philosophies, and politics of others — Friday night fakes, if you will. Practice His principles first. Seek His guidance first. If you do that, then you will get to carry that ball for more than a first down! Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

Cleveland police mental health referrals questioned CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland police policy requiring officers to notify crime victims before sending low-level, non-violent offenders to a county diversion program unnecessarily applies a 2017 victims-rights law and is preventing people from getting the treatment they need, mental health advocates said. The policy was instituted by Police Chief Calvin Williams earlier this month, cleveland.com reported. “The more barriers there are, the more restrictions that are put on it, less people get help,” said Scott Osiecki, CEO of Cuyahoga County’s addiction and mental health board. The Cleveland policy is based on the Marsy’s Law, which in 2017 expanded victims rights to include notifications about suspects’ criminal cases. Former Cuyahoga Prosecutor Bill Mason, currently chief of staff for Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish, told cleveland.com that Marsy’s Law does not apply to pre-arrest diversion programs. The diversion center’s policy already calls for crime victims to be notified when a suspect is sent there, he said. From the opening of the diversion center in May through mid-September, only 10 of the 89 people admitted to the center were referred by Cleveland police. ‘Drive a bus’ event and job opportunities at schools By Brittany Hively shortage, Attar said the county is offering folks an opportunity to drive a bus before applying. “We’re going to close down GALLIA COUNTY — There is no shortage of “now hiring” parking lots there and if you’re over 21 and you have a valid posts across the United States — Gallia County Local Schools driver’s license, you can hop on a bus with one of our drivers,” is trying to get ahead of the Attar said. “Basically they’ll game with a “drive a bus” show you how it works and let event. “I won’t say we have a driver you get a feel for it.” The event will take place shortage, per say, right now,” said Jacob Attar, transportation Nov. 2, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at both River Valley High School and director Gallia County Local South Gallia High School.
