The Kremlin reacted by warning it will be forced to take retaliatory “military-technical” steps. On the ground, meanwhile, Russian forces pounded areas in central and eastern Ukraine, including the last pocket of resistance in Mariupol, as part its offensive to take the vital industrial Donbas region, while Ukraine recaptured some towns and villages in the country’s northeast. Finland’s president and prime minister announced that the Nordic country should apply right away for membership in NATO, the military defense pact founded in part to counter the Soviet Union. “You (Russia) caused this.

She is survived by two nieces and their families: Joan Casto Lloyd (Ken) and Jennifer Casto-Babcock (Richard) and children Zandra (Ashley), Zoey and Luke. Few people are as lucky as Ellen in having a second loving family as devoted as Denver’s family was to her. Survivors include: son-in-law Lee Harris; son Keith (Linda) Curtis and children Haley, and DJ (Christina); grandson Toby Curtis (Katie, Riley); great grandchildren Alexis Kidd and Bentleigh Westfall; and especially close to Ellen was Michelle SmithCrisenbery, (Kelsey, Kaleb and Tristin) who was the daughter of Denver’s late daughter, Cindy, who cared for Ellen until her recent passing.

Iran raises prices of food staples, stirring panic, anger DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran abruptly raised prices as much as 300% for a variety of staples such as cooking oil, chicken, eggs and milk on Thursday. Scores of alarmed Iranians waited in long lines to snatch up bundles of food and emptied supermarket shelves across the country in the hours before the price hike took effect. Panicked shoppers raided stores and stuffed basic goods into large plastic bags, according to footage shared widely on social media. Lines in Tehran snaked out of grocery stores late Wednesday. On Thursday, Iran’s currency dropped to a low of 300,000 rial to the dollar.

People admittedly have a most difficult time of being patient, particularly as it involves trying times that so often afflict the soul. “It is my life, and I want relief NOW!” Such is the usual mindset. However, if your experience is like mine, deliverance from difficulties seems to take an indefinite period of time. This is while we expect, on the other hand, an immediate response to our prayers. More often than not, there is not a finger-snap from Heaven to set matters right for us on the spot. But, once again, if your experience is like mine, you want to know that, at the least, relief is in the works. It is like waiting for a slowfunctioning computer. Those little hour-glass icons give assurance that the requested task is loading. Such is the significance of information from Scripture. Before Jesus returned to heaven to be with his Father, He told his disciples in John 14:12 that they would do even greater things than He had done when He was on earth. Now Jesus did some pretty great things, didn’t He? He healed the sick. He turned water into wine. He made the blind to God’s Kids see and the lame to Korner walk. Where were the Ann disciples going to get Moody the power to do such great things? Jesus promised them that He would ask the Father to send the Holy Spirit which would give them the power to do great and mighty things. It happened just as Jesus said it would. At the beginning of Acts, Chapter 2, we read that on the day we call Pentecost, the disciples were all together in a house. The Bible tells us that there was a sound from the sky like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the place where the disciples were sitting. Then, there were flames of fire that appeared and rested upon each of them. When these things happened, the disciples were filled with power and began to preach and teach about Jesus. They were able to do things that they had never done before because of the power of the Holy Spirit in them. Did you know that you and I have that very same power available to us today? Romans 8:14 says that “all who are led by the Spirit are children of God.” We who are the children of God have the power to do great and mighty things, not in our own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit that is within us. That’s a good thing to remember when we start doubting ourselves and abilities. Don’t worry or be scared; you have the God’s spirit within you to see you through anything. Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Father, we pray that we will be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit just as the disciples were on the day of Pentecost. We too have Your power and Your spirit in us to help us accomplish whatever it is we need to do. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. When God gave the Law to Israel, speaking from the mountain, proclaiming those edicts which would become known as the Ten Commandments, the book of Exodus tells us that it was an aweinspiring, fear-inducing occasion (cf. Exodus 20:18-19). So moved were the Israelites to terror that they requested Moses to henceforth be the ambassador, interceding between themselves and God. The writer of Hebrews, in the New Testament, seeking to encourage his Christian readers, reminds them of that ancient occasion, drawing a contrast to their own TODAY 8 AM 2 PM 65° 77° 76° Partly sunny and warm today.

It is noteworthy to compare Scripture-with-Scripture when seeing any reference to a rock. Do not regard it just as any rock, but THE ROCK JESUS CHRIST. In other words, one’s strongest and most stable position for waiting is standing on the rock-solid principles of Jesus Christ. It is incredible that so many neglect to stand on the Lord’s absolute principles during adverse circumstances. Also, the Psalmist wrote that while he waited patiently on the Lord that He “established my goings.” While we wait patiently, God works to qualify our position. God knows that we need a Biblebased plan to get into proper position for deliverance. Note: you cannot adequately seize the deliverance of God if you are at the bottom of a pit with your feet stuck in miry clay, if you do not have solid footing, and if you are not implementing a Scripture-based plan. Remember: God is doing. God knows what He is doing. In His time. In His way. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

Having been a fan of Mayer for quite some time, I have always found it interesting that he was inspired to learn to play the guitar at the age of 13 after watching the scene from the classic movie Back to the Future, during which Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly performs “Johnny B. Goode.” Have you ever aspired to learn to play the six string? Perhaps your child has been asking to take guitar lessons. Bossard Library is pleased to provide aspiring musicians ages twelve and older with the opportunity to learn to play the guitar through our new Beginning Acoustic Guitar Course. The initial twelve-week course will begin on May 16, with one-hour classes to be held on Monday evenings at the library. Participants must be committed to attending each of the twelve class sessions, as each session will build upon the previous session. The course instructor will be local musician Niles Elliott, a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, the renowned music college also attended back in the day by an aspiring artist named John Mayer. In order to partici- week guitar course pate in the guitar is offered.

Sweden, likewise, is considering putting itself under NATO’s protection. That would represent a major change in Europe’s security landscape: Sweden has avoided military alliances for more than 200 years, while Finland adopted neutrality after its defeat by the Soviets in World War II. Public opinion in both nations shifted dramatically in favor of NATO membership after the invasion, which stirred fears in countries along Russia’s flank that they could be next. Such an expansion of the alliance would leave Russia surrounded by NATO countries in the Baltic Sea and the Arctic and would amount to a stinging setback for Putin, who had hoped to divide and roll back NATO in Europe but is instead seeing the exact opposite happen. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said the alliance would welcome Finland and Sweden with open arms. Russia’s Foreign Ministry warned that Moscow “will be forced to take retaliatory steps of military-technical and other characteristics in order to counter the emerging threats to its national security.” NATO’s funneling of weapons and other military support to Ukraine already has been critical to Kyiv’s surprising success in stymieing the invasion, and the Kremlin warned anew in ominous terms Thursday that the leads the subcommittee, said U.S. Department of Agriculture officials and the industry prioritized production and profits over the health of workers and communities as at least 59,000 workers caught the virus and 269 died. “The shameful conduct of corporate executives pursuing profit at any cost during a crisis and government officials eager to do their bidding regardless of resulting harm to the public must never be repeated,” Clyburn said. Former Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, who now leads the University System of Georgia, declined to comment Thursday. A spokesman for the university system said Perdue is focused on “serving the students of Georgia.” The report is based on communications among industry executives, lobbyists and USDA officials and other documents the committee received from government agencies, Tyson Foods, Smithfield Foods, JBS, Cargill, National Beef, Hormel and other companies. Those firms control 85% of the beef market and 70% of pork production nationwide. The North American Salvation From page 3 assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven,” and the angels, innumerable, are seen in festal gathering, all before the throne in the center of the city, upon which sits the King and Priest of the new covenant: Jesus the Christ, whose blood cleanses sin and testifies to the salvation of the recipient. The rejoicing angels call to mind another passage. Jesus taught, “there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninetynine righteous persons who need no repentance,” and “there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:7, 10; ESV).” Men on earth were Frank Augstein | AP pool British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, left, and Finland’s President Sauli Niinisto sign a security assurance at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki, Finland, on Wednesday. On Thursday Niinisto announced that his country should apply right away for membership in NATO, the military defense pact founded in part to counter the Soviet Union. aid could lead to direct conflict between NATO and Russia. “There is always a risk of such conflict turning into a full-scale nuclear war, a scenario that will be catastrophic for all,” said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia’s Security Council. While Russia’s advance in the Donbas has been slow, Ukraine’s military noted that Moscow has achieved “partial success.” Western officials said Russia has gained ground and taken some villages. Explosions were heard Thursday near the town of Bakhmut, an area of the Donbas that has seen heavy fighting. The Ukrainian military said Russian forces were storming two villages there. Britain’s Defense Ministry said Russia’s focus on the Donbas has left its remaining troops around the northeastern city of Kharkiv vulnerable to counterattack from Ukrainian forces, which recaptured several towns and villages around the city. Still, Russian rocket strikes Thursday killed one person and wounded three in a suburb of Kharkiv, the regional governor said. Kharkiv is Ukraine’s second-largest city. Fighting across the east has driven thousands of Ukrainians from their homes. Evacuees wiped away tears as they carried their children and belongings onto buses and vans to flee. “It is terrible there now. We were leaving under missiles,” said Tatiana Kravstova, who left the town of Siversk with her 8-year-old son Artiom on a bus headed for the central city of Dnipro. “I don’t know where they were aiming at, but they were pointing at civilians.” Ukraine also said Russian forces had fired artillery and grenade launchers at Ukrainian troops in the direction of Zaporizhzhia, which has been a refuge for civilians fleeing Mariupol, and attacked in the Chernihiv and Sumy regions to the north. Overnight airstrikes near Chernihiv, in northern Ukraine, killed at least three people, Ukraine’s military said. It said that Russian troops fired rockets at a school and student dormitory in Novhorod-Siversky and that some other buildings, including private homes, were also damaged. And eight to 12 Russian missiles struck an oil refinery and other infrastructure in the central Ukrainian industrial hub of Kremenchuk on Thursday, the region’s acting governor, Dmytro Lunin, wrote in a Telegram post. In early April, he said, the refinery, which had been the last fully functional one in Ukraine at the time, was knocked offline by an attack. In the southern port of Mariupol, which has largely been reduced to smoking rubble with little food, water or medicine, or what the mayor called a “medieval ghetto,” Ukrainian fighters continued to hold out at the Azovstal steel plant, the last stronghold of resistance in the city. afraid when God spoke from heaven and the earth itself trembled before His voice. But when God shows forth His love and mercy in Christ, it brings joy to all who partake and it brings joy to those who serve the Lord. God Himself rejoices over the souls who are saved. The angels, beholding the face of their joyous Creator, likewise rejoice, and all heaven becomes a festal gathering, celebrating the salvation of Christ each time a single soul turns from sin and in obedience to the good news of Christ, has their sins washed away (cf. Acts 22:16). Even as the angels rejoice, so too should God’s people here on earth. The fruit of the Spirit is not sorrow, but joy (cf. Galatians 5:22). The Ethiopian eunuch heard the message of Christ and obeyed it, and knowing the treasure he had received, we read, “he went on his way rejoicing (Acts 8:39).” His example is recorded reminding us of the propriety of joy in the face of salvation and life. The awesome might of God is not reduced from what it was when He delivered the commandments to Israel, but it is tempered by the glory of the gift of Christ. The writer of Hebrews wisely counsels all, “See that you do not refuse him who is speaking (Hebrews 12:25).” There is no good sense in turning away from the gift of life offered in Christ. Those who have not yet come to Christ in obedience should not delay, but make every effort to partake of the grace of God in Christ. Likewise, having received such a gift, “let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:28-29; ESV).” Our worship of God as Christians is a celebration of our salvation, reminiscent of the festal gathering of the heavenly angels. It is reverent and awe-filled, for we are coming before the Living God, but is also full of gratitude at what God has done for us. A gift as wonderful as that which Jesus has given to us deserves nothing less than heartfelt joy on the part of the recipients. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

Meat Institute trade group said the report distorts the truth and ignores the steps companies took as they spent billions to retool plants and purchase protective gear for workers. “The House Select Committee has done the nation a disservice,” the trade group’s President and CEO Julie Anna Potts said. “The Committee could have tried to learn what the industry did to stop the spread of COVID among meat and poultry workers, reducing positive cases associated with the industry while cases were surging across the country. Instead, the Committee uses 20/20 hindsight and cherry picks data to support a narrative that is completely unrepresentative of the early days of an unprecedented national emergency.” A major union that represents workers at the processing plants condemned the way the Trump administration helped the industry. “We only wish that the Trump Administration cared as much about the lives of working people as it did about meat, pork and poultry products, when we wanted poultry plants to shut down for deep cleaning and to save workers’ lives,” said Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. risk for skin cancer.

For Ohio Valley Publishing Waterford edges Lady Tornadoes, 4-3 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com WATERFORD, Ohio — A tough way to go out. The Southern softball team struck first first blood and the final blow, but the in-between ultimately caught up with them Wednesday night during a 4-3 setback to host Waterford in a Division IV sectional final in Washington County. The visiting Lady Tornadoes (9-9) built a quick a 2-0 lead in the top of the first as Lauren Smith scored on a groundout and Marlo Norris crossed home plate on an RBI-single by Chloe Rizer. The Lady Cats countered with a run in both the first and second frames to knot the game up through two complete. Cara Taylor led the first off with a triple and later stole home, then Mackenzie Suprano stole home in the second — tying the game at 2-all. WHS secured a permanent lead in the third as Taylor doubled and later scored on a Kari Carney double, making it 3-2. Carney later scored from third on a stolen base to make it a 4-2 contest through three full frames. Smith and Kassidy Chaney each provided doubles with one away and two away, respectively, in the top of the fifth, allowing SHS to whittle the gap down to 4-3. The Lady Tornadoes had runners at first and second with one away in the sixth, but nothing came to fruition. The guests went down in order in the seventh to complete the outcome. The hosts outhit Southern by a 7-6 overall margin in the error-free contest. Waterford also stranded only three of the eight runners left on base. Lily Allen paced the Lady Tornadoes with two hits, followed by Smith, Chaney, Rizer and Cassidy Roderus with a safety each. Chaney and Camry Roush recorded an RBI apiece in the setback. Chaney took the loss after surrendering four earned runs, seven hits and one walk over six innings while striking out three. Carney picked up the win after allowing three earned runs, six hits and two walks over seven frames while fanning two. Taylor, Carney and Suprano led WHS with two hits apiece, while Lilly Franchino also provided a safety. Carney drove in the lone run for the hosts. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Owner Rich Dawson made the stunning announcement Thursday, 10 days before the race in Maryland. Dawson said he and trainer Eric Reed agreed to stick with the initial plan for Rich Strike and rest him for five weeks. Rich Strike, at 80-1, was the biggest long shot to win the Derby in more than a century. Only Donerail in 1913 paid more to win. The plan now is to have Rich Strike ready to run in the Belmont Stakes on June 11. Dawson said it was wise for the colt to get extra rest and not face a short, two-week turnaround at Pimlico. “It’s very, very tempting to alter our course and run in the Preakness at Pimlico, which would be a great honor for all our group,” Dawson said in a news release. “However, after much discussion and consideration … we are going to stay with our plan of what’s best for Ritchie.

The panel is investigating McCarthy’s conversations with thenPresident Donald Trump the day of the attack and meetings the four other lawmakers had with the White House as Trump and his aides worked to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Subpoenas for McCarthy, R-Calif., and Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama come as the investigation is winding down and as the panel prepares for a series of public hearings this summer. After the announcement, McCarthy, who aspires to be House speaker if Republicans take the majority in midterm elections, told reporters that “I have not seen a subpoena” and that his view on the committee has not changed since they asked for his voluntary cooperation earlier this year. “They’re not conducting a legitimate investigation,” McCarthy said. “Seems as though they J. Scott Applewhite | AP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., heads to his office surrounded by reporters Thursday after House investigators issued a subpoena to McCarthy and four other Republican lawmakers as part of their probe into the violent Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol in Washington. The House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has been investigating McCarthy’s conversations with then-President Donald Trump the day of the attack and meetings that the four other lawmakers had with the White House as Trump and his aides conspired how to overturn his defeat. just want to go after their political opponents.” The panel had previously asked for voluntary cooperation from the five men, along with a handful of other GOP lawmakers, but all of them refused to speak with the panel, which debated for months whether to issue the subpoenas. “Before we hold our hearings next month, we wished to provide members the opportunity to discuss these matters with the committee voluntarily,” said Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Democratic chairman of the panel. “Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we’re forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concern- ing January 6th.” Congressional subpoenas for sitting members of Congress, especially for a party leader, have little precedent in recent decades, and it is unclear what the consequences would be if any or all of the five men decline to comply. The House has voted to hold two other noncompliant witnesses, former Trump aides Steve Bannon and Mark Meadows, in contempt, referring their cases to the Justice Department. In announcing the subpoenas, the Jan. 6 panel said there is historical precedent for the move and noted that the House Ethics Committee has “issued a number of subpoenas to Members of Congress for testimony or documents,” though such actions are generally done secretly. McCarthy has acknowledged that he spoke with Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, which happened as Trump’s supporters were beating police outside the Capitol and forcing their way into the building. But he has not shared many details. The committee requested information about his conversations with Trump “before, during and after” the riot. McCarthy took to the House floor after the rioters were cleared and said in a forceful speech that Trump “bears responsibility” for the attack and that it was the “saddest day I have ever had” in Congress — even as he went on to join 138 other House Republicans in voting to reject the election results.

Parents swap, sell baby formula as Biden focuses on shortage By Josh Boak and Pat Eaton-Robb serves mothers, infants and children, though the program now permits brand substitutes. The Biden administration is working with states to make it easier for WIC recipients to buy different sizes of formula that their benefits might not currently cover. Parents, particularly moms, are using social media to bridge the supply gaps. Ashley Maddox, a 31-year-old mother of two from San Diego, started a Facebook group on Wednesday after failing to find formula for her 5-month-old son, Cole, at the commissary on the Navy base. “I connected with a gal in my group and she had seven cans of the formula I need that were just sitting in her house that her baby didn’t need anymore,” she said. “So I drove out, it was about a 20-minute drive and picked it up and paid her. It was a miracle.” She said there was already a stigma attached to being a non-breastfeeding mom and that the group has become supportive. “To not be able to have that formula, it’s scary,” she said. Jennifer Kersey, 36 of Cheshire, Connecticut, said she was down to her last can of formula for her 7-month old son, Blake Kersey Jr., before someone saw her post on a Facebook group and came by with a few sample cans. “At first I was starting to panic,” she said. “But, I’m a believer in the Lord, so I said, ‘God, I know you’re going to provide for me and I just started reaching out to people, ‘Hey do you have this formula?’ Associated Press WASHINGTON — A baby formula shortage in the United States is driving parents to swap, sell and offer leftover supplies to each other, while President Joe Biden spoke with manufacturers and retailers Thursday about the plight facing families. The president discussed with executives from Mead Johnson and Gerber how they could increase production and how his administration could help, and talked with leaders from Walmart and Target about how to restock shelves and address regional disparities in access to formula, according to the White House. The administration plans to monitor possible price gouging and work with trading partners in Mexico, Chile, Ireland, and the Netherlands on imports, even though 98% of baby formula is domestically made. The problem is the result of supply chain disruptions and a safety recall, and has had a cascade of effects: Retailers are limiting what customers can buy, and doctors and health workers are urging parents to contact food banks or physicians’ offices, in addition to warning against watering down formula to stretch supplies or using online DIY recipes. The shortage is weighing particularly on lowerincome families after the recall by formula maker Abbott stemming from contamination concerns. That recall wiped out many brands covered by WIC, a federal program like food stamps that BACKED BY A Student Name YEAR-ROUND Super proud of you!
