Wood recently reported the Major Crimes Task Force, along with Meigs County Sheriff’s Deputies, worked an interdiction operation on Tuesday, in the area of Chester. According to a news release from Wood’s ofﬁce, prior to the operation, task Price force agents began receiving information regarding the whereabouts of Shawn Price, 47, of Chester. Price was reportedly being sought after for an indictment out of Meigs County Common Pleas Court after failing to appear for a hearing in 2020. Information was received by the task force that “Price had left for the Columbus area earlier in the day to pick up a shipment of drugs,” according to the press release. At approximately 2 p.m. a vehicle was observed turning onto Erwin Road in Chester and the driver was identiﬁed as Price, the release stated. A trafﬁc stop was conducted by sheriff’s deputies and task force agents and Price was taken into custody on the indictment. Upon a search of the vehicle agents reportedly located a large quantity of crystal methamphetamine, heroin, a large amount of cash, in addition to multiple ﬁrearms. Price was transported to the Middleport Jail and is being housed on the indictment out of Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Additional charges of Possession of Drugs, a felony of the second degree, trafﬁcking in Drugs, a felony of the second degree, and having weapons while under disability are pending lab results from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The Washington, Morgan, Noble, Monroe and Meigs Major Crimes Task Force is part of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s Organized Crime Investigation Commission and is comprised of representatives of the Washington, Monroe, Morgan, Noble and Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁces; the Marietta, Belpre, Middleport and McConnelsville Police Departments; the Washington, Morgan, Noble and Meigs County Prosecutor’s Ofﬁce’s, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Justices send Ohio Statehouse maps back to drawing board By Julie Carr Smyth COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A divided Ohio Supreme Court issued an extraordinary fourth rebuke Thursday of the state’s Republicancontrolled redistricting panel, declaring mapmakers’ latest maps for Statehouse districts yet another partisan gerrymander. By a vote of the same bipartisan 4-3 majority that ruled against the previous three maps, the court ordered the embattled and deﬁant Ohio Redistricting Commission back to the drawing board again. It set a May 6 deadline for completing the next plan. That date falls after a Wednesday deadline set by a federal court for ironing out differences between the court and the commission. It wasn’t immediately clear how the ruling would impact the U.S. District Court’s path forward. Voting in the May 3 primary has already begun without legislative races listed. In Thursday’s ruling, the court said the commission’s latest plan still violates a 2015 constitutional amendment overwhelmingly passed by Ohio voters. That amendment said the panel must attempt to avoid partisan favoritism and also must try to proportionally distribute districts to reﬂect Ohio’s political makeup, which is split at about 54% Republican, 46% Democratic. Republicans argued that the fourth set of maps — like three earlier versions — met those requirements. The plan was adopted in a ﬂurry just hours before the last court-set deadline. The commission’s Republican majority left the work of two independent mapmakers hired during that round to transparently carry out the painstaking process on the cutting room ﬂoor, on grounds their work couldn’t be done in time. “The independent map drawers’ efforts were apparently little more than a sideshow — yet more fodder in this political sport,” Justice Michael P. Donnelly wrote in his concurring opinion. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor, a moderate Republican, again joined the court’s three Democrats to form the majority, with the other three Republicans dissenting. Justice Sharon Kennedy, a candidate to succeed O’Connor, accused the majority of “yet another wipingegg-from-its-face moment.” “Now, after months have passed and thousands of taxpayer dollars have been spent, we are right back to where we were on September 21, 2021, (shortly before the ﬁrst lawsuit was ﬁled) without any end in sight,” Kennedy wrote in her dissent. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, April 15, 2022 OBITUARIES Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA, MEIGS COMMUNITY BRIEFS JOHN G.

Russian military’s damaged Black Sea flagship sinks By Adam Schreck Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine — The ﬂagship of Russia’s Black Sea ﬂeet, a guided-missile cruiser that became a potent target of Ukrainian deﬁance in the opening days of the war, sank Thursday after it was heavily damaged in the latest setback for Moscow’s invasion. Ukrainian ofﬁcials said their forces hit the vessel with missiles, while Russia acknowledged a ﬁre aboard the Moskva but no attack. U.S. and other Western ofﬁcials could not conﬁrm what caused the blaze. The loss of the warship named for the Russian capital is a devastating symbolic defeat for Moscow as its troops regroup for a renewed offensive in eastern Ukraine after retreating from much of the north, including the capital. The Russian Defense Ministry said the ship sank in a storm while being towed to a port. Russia earlier said the ﬂames on the ship, which would typically have 500 sailors on board, forced the entire crew to evacuate. It later said the blaze had been contained and that the ship would be towed to port with its missile launchers intact. The ship had the capacity to carry 16 long-range cruise missiles, and its removal reduces Russia’s ﬁrepower in the Black Sea. It’s also a blow to Russian prestige in a war already widely seen as a historic blunder. Now entering its eighth week, Russia’s invasion has stalled because of resistance from Ukrainian ﬁghters bolstered by weapons and other aid sent by Western nations. During the ﬁrst days of the war, The Moskva was reportedly the warship that called on Ukrainian soldiers stationed on Snake Island in the Black Sea to surrender in a standoff. In a widely circulated recording, a soldier responded: “Russian warship, go (expletive) yourself.” CONTACT US 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2022 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition.

It was a Friday. A certain outdoor event, which had been hastily put together, drew a sizeable crowd. Most attendees exhibited angry and intense countenances. A small number were obviously grief-stricken. At hand were three men being cruciﬁed. Each of them suffered greatly from this horriﬁc form of cruciﬁxion. The Persians had invented cruciﬁxion in their day, but the Romans had subsequently picked it up in their day and practiced it frequently with ruthless intent. And, it was the Romans who were inﬂicting the capital punishment this particular Friday in the city of Jerusalem. Cruciﬁxion was utterly cruel. Those punished were afﬁxed to crosses of wood and lifted off the confusions of contemporary religions and secular humanism, men stand or falls spiritually according to how they decide to relate to the blood that Jesus Christ shed as the perfect way and the only way to be able to get right with God. Second, another critical factor is involved. It has to do with sin, which are transgressions against the God’s Law and the perfect will of God — mankind is full of sin. Sin evokes the wrath of God. That is the penalty. Rightfully so. And, while Jesus Christ was on the Cross, His suffering was compounded by the pouring out of God’s wrath on Jesus Christ for every sin that had been committed, for every contemporary sin committed, and every future sin that will be committed. That is a lot of sins, It was for the Tremendous purpose of providphysical suffering Salvation for all ing — but, it was of mankind that we the victim in the might have a way middle who sufto get right with fered the most.

First, seven-inch nails would be driven through each wrist to support the weight of the arms. The nail would cut through the median nerve causing immense pain. It would also paralysis the hand. Then the feet were nailed together to a small elevated platform causing the knees to be bent at a forty-ﬁve angle. Because of the hanging of the body, it was suffocation that caused death, which could be postponed as long the person had strength in the legs to push off of the small platform to suck in a gulp of air. But, once strength there gave out, the load was transferred to the arms. This caused the shoulders to be pulled from the sockets, making the arms inches longer. Elbows and wrists followed causing more elongation and pain. The case of the empty tomb also noticed the linens that Do you like mystery John had seen lying there. stories?

He prayed, blind and lost, for three days, no doubt pleading with God to forgive him of his many crimes. Ananias, sent by Jesus to preach to penitent Saul of Tarsus, told him, “What are you waiting for? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16).” Search the Saul was not without hope, God could Scriptures and would wash away his sins, making Jonathan him whole. What a beautiful thought McAnulty and a beautiful message! Also quite relatable… we all understand the concept of washing and God repeatedly uses this concept to help us understand His salvation. Concerning the church and the love of Christ, we read, “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish (Ephesians 5:25-27; ESV).” Likewise, of Christians in general, Paul likewise wrote, Ann Moody is a retired pastor, formerly of the Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church.

Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. Washed in the blood Him.” “Mary!” Jesus said. When Jesus spoke her name, Mary knew who He was immediately. She turned to Him and cried out, “Teacher!” “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to my Father. “Go and tell my brothers that you have seen Me and that I am going to return to My Father and your Father, My God and your God.” Mary found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord.” Then she gave them the message that Jesus had told her to tell them. And that solves “The Case of the Empty Tomb.” The tomb is empty because Jesus is not dead, He is alive! He is risen just as He said! Let’s say a prayer for this coming Easter Sunday. Heavenly Father, the empty tomb is no mystery to us anymore. He is risen! Jesus is alive and with You. Thank You, and we rejoice in His name. Amen. EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM and, consequently, a lot of penalties, each involving the wrath of God. Jesus Christ did that on our behalf as He endured the wrath of God for our sins. Jesus Christ eventually died at three in the afternoon. I am aligned with the scholars that believe that, despite His intense suffering, Jesus Christ actually died of a broken and burst heart. When the soldier pierced His side, the ﬂuid around the heart and lungs had dropped down and poured out of the cut. What pressure the Lord endured. I do not understand how He stood it — other than the fact that He loved us so much. Clendenin 73/54 Charleston 72/49 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Meigs senior Ethan Stewart allowed no hits, struck out 15 and hit one batter to ruin an otherwise ﬂawless effort on Wednesday night during a 10-0 victory over host Nelsonville-York in a Tri-Valley Conference baseball contest in Athens County. Stewart recorded at least two strikeouts in each of his six innings on the mound, but the perfect game ended in the bottom of the second as Leighton was hit by a pitch with one away in the frame. The ﬁnal 14 Buckeye batters were retired in order from there. The visiting Marauders (5-2, 4-0 TVC Ohio) built leads of 1-0 and 3-0 through the ﬁrst two innings, then plated a pair runs in the fourth and added three more in the ﬁfth for a sizable 8-run cushion. MHS tacked on two more scores in the sixth to complete the mercy-rule decision. Meigs outhit NYHS by a 8-0 margin and stranded seven runners on base. The Buckeyes left one runner on the bags and also committed both errors in the contest. Stewart, Drew Dodson, Lucas Finlaw and Jake McElroy paced Meigs with two hits apiece, with Dodson driving in a team-best three RBIs. Stewart and McElroy also knocked in two RBIs each, while McElory and Jake Martin each scored a pair of runs.

Blue Angels exterminate Hornets CENTENARY, Ohio — The Gallia Academy softball team scored a 7-2 win at home against the Coal Grove Lady Hornets Wednesday evening in a Ohio Valley Conference Friday, April 15, 2022 9 Washed From page 3 ““You were washed, you were sanctiﬁed, you were justiﬁed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 11:26; ESV),” and, “he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5; ESV).” This image of sins being washed away was likewise used in the pages of the Old Testament. David, in the Psalms, prayed, “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin,” and then again, “wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow (Psalm 51:2, 7; ESV).” Isaiah, in his ministry, picked up the same theme, sharing the words of God with Israel, “When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean (Isaiah 1:15-16; ESV).” Yet, though the thought of washing was used in the Old Testament, in the New Testament we ﬁnd image being joined to practice. Speciﬁcally, Jesus commanded His disciples to baptize in His name for the remission of sins (cf. Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38). Thus did Ananias, in commanding Saul, link the act of baptism, which is an immersion in water, with the washing away of sins. If Paul had not been baptized, he would not have washed away his sins. When Paul wrote to the Ephesians about the cleansing of the church, he speciﬁcally said that Christ cleansed the church, “by the washing of water with the word.” Similarly, the writer of Hebrews wrote, “since we have a great priest matchup. The Blue Angels (2-3, 2-2 OVC) struck quickly, getting two runs in the ﬁrst inning. After the Lady Hornets (2-6, 0-5) scored two runs of their own to tie the game up in the fourth, the Blue and White took the lead back by scoring a run of their own in the bottom of the inning.

Visiting Wellston plated over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrews 10:21-22; ESV).” The apostles assumed of all Christians that they had been washed with water in Baptism. Not a bath from dirt, as the apostle Peter clariﬁes, saying that Baptism is not the “removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:21; ESV),” but nevertheless an immersion into a body of water in obedience to the command of Christ. Peter’s remarks also illustrate that it is not the water itself which does the spiritual cleansing, though water is commanded and therefore essential. Peter says it is the resurrection of Christ, a resurrection we participate in during Baptism (cf. Romans 6:3-5) and Paul, writing to the Ephesians says that it is the blood of Christ through which we have redemption from our sins (cf. Ephesians 1:7). Elsewhere, in John’s vision in Revelation, John sees a multitude dressed in white, the saved saints of God, and is told concerning them, “They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 7:14; ESV).” The blood of Christ is partaken of in connection with the death of Christ, and again, it is in Baptism that we are joined, not just to the resurrection of Christ, but His death as well. There are many who are aware of their sins and aware of their need to be cleansed from those sins. To those today, the message of God remains the same, “Why do you wait? Arise and be baptized!

The host Lady Tornadoes (1-2) trailed 3-1 after the ﬁrst and were down 4-1 through three complete, where the score remained at the end of ﬁve full frames. The Lady Rockets, however, sent 15 batters to the plate in the top of the sixth, which resulted in 11 runs and a 15-1 advantage. SHS — which was outhit 21-3 overall — mustered a run in its half of the sixth before ultimately falling by a mercy-rule decision. Lauren Smith, Marlo Norris and Kamry Roush had a hit apiece for the hosts, with Roush providing the team’s lone RBI. Smith and Roush also scored a run each in the setback. Sadie Henry paced Wellston with four hits and four RBIs, while Hannah Potts added three hits and scored three runs. Jenna Johnston also had two hits, three RBIs and scored four runs for WHS. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. �NEWS 10 Friday, April 15, 2022 Daily Sentinel MEIGS HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCES HONOR ROLL POMEROY — The following Meigs High School students were on the honor roll for the third nine weeks: Freshmen: Kadence Allen, Abigail Barber, Brady Barnett, Lindsay Barnhart, Tessa Bentz, Mina Burleson, Eeland Clark, Evan C.
