Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of the regiment, told Ukrainian TV that Russian troops were inside the plant for a third day and were meeting fierce resistance. “Heavy fighting is underway,” he said. The Russians managed to get inside with the help of an electrician who knew the layout, said Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine’s Internal Affairs Ministry. “He showed them the underground tunnels which are leading to the factory,” Gerashchenko said in a video posted late Wednesday. “Yesterday, the Russians started storming these tunnels, using the information they received from the betrayer.” The Kremlin denied its troops were storming the plant. The fall of Mariupol would deprive Ukraine of a vital port, allow Russia to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014, and free up troops to fight elsewhere in the Donbas, the eastern industrial region that the Kremlin says is now its chief objective.

Biden is also bringing back longtime Democratic strategist Anita Dunn as his senior adviser. She had served in the Biden White House last year for several months after Biden was sworn into office. “Karine not only brings the expeJean-Pierre rience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a statement praising Jean-Pierre, who has served as his principal deputy press secretary since Inauguration Day. Psaki, who leaves the White House on May 13, praised her successor, noting the significance of the history-making appointment. “She will be the first black woman and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve as the White House Press Secretary,” Psaki said. “Representation matters and she will give a voice to many, but also make many dream big about what is truly possible.” CONTACT US 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2022 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition.

The truth to accept is that the to the Christians that tribulation is what you can expect to experience K.O.G. was established on the bases of the divine sufferings and if one associates with the Lord tribulations of the Lord, not miliJesus Christ. tarily, not politically, not economiJust because one is a Christian cally.

We be, you are in heaviness through are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Now, here is the rub. We need to guard our attitude about the hardships through which we go. Paul presses us hard on the subject of physical suffering, for he said that the trials and tribulations that he himself went through were for the purpose “to fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body’s sake, which is the church.” He was not saying that our sufferings supplement those of Christ. But, just as His sufferings were for the sake of God interjecting the K.O.G. on earth, ours, as the extension of Christ’s, continue the divine, authoritative plan. That is why Paul said that we can “rejoice in our sufferings.” There is the rightful and proper attitude about it all. Again, Paul said, “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.” For sure, there is joy, peace, and blessings involved with life in Christ. But, there are also tribulations in the mix. Instead of turning bitter toward God or fussing about God, remember that He uses them purposely. That is why Revelation 21:4 is so sweet to recall, for one day, “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be anymore pain…” Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:5-7; ESV)” The word the ESV translates as “reasonableness,” in the above passage denotes a gentle, forbearing attitude which strives to be equitable and fair in all its dealings, yielding to the desires of others. And it showcases that in each case, when the apostles tried to teach men concerning how to respond to an evil, unreasonable world, they advocated for gentleness. In this they were doing nothing but following the command of Christ, who told His followers, “Love your enemies and pray for them that persecute you (Matthew 5:44).” When Christians respond to the world with the tools of the world, anger, hatred, vitriol, violence, and the like, rather than having been kept from the evil one, they have instead been joined to the evil one. Only when Christians respond to an unreasonable world with love, gentleness, patience, kindness and reasonability do they truly win the victory, for it is then that they have followed in the footsteps of Christ, who Himself, though crucified, was triumphant over sin, and ultimately over death itself.

ARRESTED IN THE CITY OF GALLIPOLIS (DID YOU KNOW) Did you know during the Civil War that the Union army came with the gunboats and arrested two men and a woman after the death of President Abraham Lincoln they were rejoicing and excited about his death so they were arrested and taken away to prison. Did you know that the old Harris Colored Church was burned down by brigadier general John Hunt Morgan during the Civil War and this took place across the old 554 bridge which runs right across through our family home place at the intersection of State route 554 and tycoon lake road did you know that there was so much confusion about the addresses of that area and it still is, the area around State route 554 and tycoon lake is called Harrisburg to this day and during the Civil War both sides of the raccoon Creek on the old bridge was called Harrisburg but the address was Bidwell post office and our children went to Rio Grande School that is one of the complication that we dealt with and getting the real history of the Civil War in Ohio. You may learn more about the Civil War in Ohio in this area from my book all over this land. You can find that book in the Shaker heights library in Shaker heights Ohio. It is important to notice that we have confusion on the addresses of these areas because that area is still referred to as Harrisburg and the addresses are Bidwell and the children go to Rio Grande School. I’m just saying the reason it was very difficult to get the real information about the Civil War in Ohio was because of the addresses of the post office were so difficult to find. But we were able to get the information from the governor office in Columbus from the office of the governor of the sitting Governor during the Civil War and from the paperwork of a brigadier general John Hunt Morgan and from the records of the New Hope Baptist Church and from the people themselves who gave and have historic documents of that time period. You probably didn’t think about it but during the Civil War we had the telegraph and that was a plus in military strategies for the Union army. My book all over this land focuses on the Civil War in Gallipolis and Gallia county but emraces The History of the United States from the landing of Ponce de Leon in Florida to the end of the Barack Obama administration. I encourage you to read as much as you can about the Civil War and how your ancestors play the part in establishing the one nation under God which came out of this war, I lost relatives on both sides of the war my family consisted of Union soldiers as well as Confederate soldiers so sad family was fighting family and belonging to the same Nation. This is not history today this is history of yesterday but we are The descendants of those who died and we give praise to God himself and in the words of President Lincoln he said God would cause this war to turn out right his thoughts action and Hope was freedom would be forever upon this Land. Let us today make that come true. Nellie Ruby Taylor. Author of All over this land with contributing authors Paul LaRue, Nathan Kirk, and Penny Pletikapich. A very good resource to find this information to be true with the President Abraham Lincoln library. The historic marker at New Hope Baptist Church at the intersection of State route 554 and tycoon lake road was placed there by you and American people to remind us of the price we paid to be free and that our God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was with us so let us give thanks.

See BASEBALL | 8 Adames homers twice as Brewers pound lowly Reds 10-5 By Andrew Wagner Associated Press MILWAUKEE — Willy Adames hit two of Milwaukee’s six homers, and the Brewers beat the lowly Cincinnati Reds 10-5 on Thursday. Luis Urías, Christian Yelich, Tyrone Taylor and Keston Hiura also connected as Milwaukee won for the eighth time in nine games. Yelich finished with three hits and scored three times, and Adames had four RBIs. Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser (3-2) allowed five runs, four earned, and seven hits in five innings. Cincinnati closed out a winless six-game trip with its ninth consecutive loss. The major league-worst Reds have dropped 20 of 21 overall. Tyler Stephenson homered and drove in two runs, but Cincinnati was unable to overcome another shaky performance by hard-throwing rookie Hunter Greene (1-4). Urías and Yelich connected against Greene in the first, and Rowdy Tellez’s RBI double tied it at 3. Adames capped Milwaukee’s three-run second with a two-run drive to left-center. Taylor and Hiura went deep in the third before Greene was replaced by Luis Cessa. The 22-year-old Greene was tagged for eight runs and nine hits in 2 2/3 innings in his fourth consecutive loss. He struck out seven and walked one. Trainer’s room After placing two players on the injured list Wednesday with unspecified designations, Reds manager David Bell is confident the team can avoid a full-blown COVID-19 outbreak. But he recognizes that it’s not always easy despite comprehensive mitigation efforts. “Obviously, it’s something that’s really important to us to keep everyone healthy as best as we can,” Bell said. “But the reality is we’re all together a lot; we have contact with lots of different people, just like everyone else but we’re doing the best that we can.” Cincinnati also placed first baseman Joey Votto on the COVID-19 IL earlier this week. Up next Reds: RHP Connor Overton (0-0, 1.69 ERA) makes his second start of the season Friday in the opener of a three-game series against Pittsburgh. RHP JT Brubaker (0-2, 6.20) starts for the visiting Pirates. Brewers: LHP Eric Lauer (2-0, 1.93 ERA) starts Friday night at Atlanta in the opener of a nine-game trip.

The industry has been rocked by scandal in recent years, including the disqualification of last year’s Kentucky Derby winner, a horse doping conspiracy involving trainers and veterinarians, and the punishment of its highest-profile trainer. The sport’s seeming inability to police itself drew the attention of the federal government in 2020. The result is the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act set to go into effect July 1. The act will be implemented in stages, with the racetrack safety program starting immediately. The antidoping and medication rules aren’t expected to begin until early 2023, leaving states in charge for now. “We have to do it,” said Tom Rooney, new president and CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. “We have to have the same standards in every jurisdiction.” Unlike the central offices that govern the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL, the 38 U.S. racing states operate under patchwork rules that vary from track to track. Horses, owners, trainers and jockeys move frequently between states to compete. Locales honor punishments meted out Charlie Riedel | AP A horse is led onto the track for a workout Thursday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. The 148th running of the Kentucky Derby is scheduled for Saturday. elsewhere, but inconsistencies can create confusion and make it possible to game the system. Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert is serving a 90-day suspension imposed by Kentucky racing officials that will keep him out of the Derby on Saturday, a race he’s won six times. The punishment came after 2021 Derby winner Medina Spirit failed a post-race drug test. The colt was later disqualified. East Coast trainer Jorge Navarro is serving five years in prison for his role in a horse doping conspiracy. He also was fined $25.8 million. Trainer Jason Servis is set for trial next year as part of the same case. He has declared his innocence. Servis trained 2019 Kentucky Derby winner Maximum Security, who was disqualified for interference during the race. Navarro and Servis were among over two dozen people indicted after a lengthy FBI investigation. Despite such hits to the sport’s reputation, there appears to be grow- ing trepidation in the industry over the prospect of sweeping change brought by HISA. The program has already been challenged in the courts, with two lawsuits seeking to kill it. In late March, a lawsuit filed by the National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association and a group of its affiliates questioned HISA’s constitutionality. It was dismissed by a federal judge in Texas and is being appealed. The second suit filed in Kentucky by the state of Oklahoma and eight other states is similar to the NHBPA’s suit. It has yet to be heard. Whether the implementation of HISA is a reaction to placate vocal critics or representative of meaningful change is an ongoing debate within the industry. “As trainers, we have mixed emotions because we’re going to have people making decisions that aren’t very educated in our sport,” said D. Wayne Lukas, a Hall of Fame trainer. “It just seems hard to tell where they’re going to go.” Baseball From page 7 The South Gallia baseball team built a 1-0 lead in the first inning for the second straight time this spring, and visiting Southern responded with 22 unanswered runs Wednesday night during a 22-1 mercy-rule decision in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Gallia County.

Most of the deaths occurred in Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas, according to a WHO report issued Thursday. The U.N. health agency’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, described the newly calculated figure as “sobering,” saying it should prompt countries to invest more in their capacities to quell future health emergencies. WHO tasked scientists with determining the actual number of COVID-19 deaths between January 2020 and the end of last year. They estimated that between 13.3 million and 16.6 million people died either due to the coronavirus directly or because of factors somehow attributed to the pandemic’s impact on health systems, such as cancer patients who were unable to seek treatment when hospitals were full of COVID patients. Based on that range, the scientists came up with an approximated total of 14.9 million. The estimate was based on countryreported data and statis- Francisco Seco | AP file A worker wearing full protective gear moves the casket of a victim of COVID-19 to be cremated during a partial lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus at the Pontes crematorium center in Lommel, Belgium, in April 2020. The World Health Organization is estimating that nearly 15 million people were killed either by the coronavirus or by its impact on overwhelmed health systems in the past two years. That is more than double its official death toll. tical modeling, but only about half of countries provided information. WHO said it wasn’t yet able to break down the data to distinguish between direct deaths from COVID-19 and those related to effects of the pandemic, but the agency plans a future project examining death certificates. “This may seem like just a bean-counting exercise, but having these WHO numbers is so critical to understanding how we should combat future pandemics and continue to respond to this one,” said Dr. Albert Ko, an infectious diseases specialist at the Yale School of Public Health who was not linked to the WHO research. For example, Ko said, South Korea’s decision to invest heavily in public health after it suffered a severe outbreak of MERS allowed it to escape COVID-19 with a per-capita death rate around a 20th of the one in the United States. Accurately counting COVID-19 deaths has been problematic throughout the pandemic, as reports of confirmed cases represent only a fraction of the devastation wrought by the virus, largely because of limited testing. Government figures reported to WHO and a separate tally kept by Johns Hopkins University show more than 6.2 million reported virus deaths to date. Scientists at the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington calculated for a recent study published in the journal Lancet that there were more than 18 million COVID deaths from January 2020 to December 2021. A team led by Canadian researchers estimated there were more than 3 million uncounted coronavirus deaths in India alone. WHO’s new analysis estimated that missed deaths in India alone ranged between 3.3 million to 6.5 million. Daily Sentinel Pills From page 1 rights. Two drugs are required. The first, mifepristone, blocks a hormone needed to maintain a pregnancy. A second drug, misoprostol, taken one to two days later, empties the uterus. Both drugs are available as generics and are also used to treat other conditions. The FDA last year lifted a long-standing requirement that women pick up abortion pills in person. Federal regulations now also allow mail delivery nationwide. Even so, 19 states have passed laws requiring a medical clinician to be physically present when abortion pills are administered to a patient. South Dakota is among them, joining several states, including Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, Ohio, Tennessee and Oklahoma, where Republicans have moved to further restrict access to abortion pills in recent months. Those moves have spurred online services that offer information on getting abortion pills and consultations to get a prescription. After the woman in South Dakota found that the state’s only abortion clinic could not schedule her in time for a medication abortion, she found an Allen G.

The drug is one of two used together in “medication abortions.” According to Planned Parenthood, mifepristone blocks progesterone, stopping a pregnancy from progressing. online service, called Just The Pill, that advised her to drive across to Minnesota for a phone consultation with a doctor. A week later, she came back to Minnesota for the pills. She took the first one almost immediately in her car, then cried as she drove home. “I felt like I lost a pregnancy,” she said. “I love my husband and I love my children and I knew exactly what I had to say goodbye to and that was a really horrible thing to have to do.” Besides crossing state lines, women can also turn to international online pharmacies, said Greer Donley, a professor specializing in reproductive health care at the University of Pittsburgh Law School. Some women also are having prescribed pills forwarded through states without restrictions. “It allows for some- one to have an abortion without a direct role of a provider. It’s going to be much harder for states to control abortion access,” she said, adding, “The question is how is it going to be enforced?” Abortion law experts say it’s an unsettled question whether states can restrict access to abortion pills in the wake of the FDA’s decision. “The general rule is that federal law preempts conflicting state law,” said Laura Hermer, a professor at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. “There is no question that the FDA has proper authority to regulate the drugs used in medication abortions. The question is whether a state can make a viable, winning argument that, for public health purposes, it needs to further regulate access to the relevant medications.” Grande to study education to become a teacher.

Mariupol into the devastating war, Ukraine’s military claimed it recaptured some areas in the south and repelled other attacks in the east, further frustrating Putin’s ambitions after his abortive attempt to seize Kyiv. Ukrainian and Russian forces are fighting village by village. The head of Britain’s armed forces, Chief of the Defense Staff Adm. Tony Radakin, said Putin is “trying to rush to a tactical victory” before Victory Day. But he said Russian forces are struggling to gain momentum in the Donbas. Radakin told British broadcaster Talk TV that Russia is using missiles and weapons at such a rate that it is in a “logistics war” to keep supplied. He added: “This is going to be a hard slog.” Fearful of new attacks surrounding Victory Day, the mayor of the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk urged residents to leave for the countryside over the long weekend and warned them not to gather in public places. And the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, a key transit point for evacuees from Mariupol, announced a curfew from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning.
