II . POMEROY - Crime, punishment and economic woes dominated the news in the home stretch of 2009 in Meigs County. September began with a bang, literally. when a man entered the Tuppers Plains branch of Farmers Bank, claiming to have an explosive device in a bag and demanding money. The man. Sean Bradford Mitchell, 41, Athens, got away, for awhile, but was captured in November in Mississippi and charged with the crime. Speaking of crime, also in September, Nichol LeFleur, 24, Albany. admitted her role in the April robbery and murder of Winifred Hardiman in Columbia Township. LeFleur was sentenced to 10 years in prison on an involuntary manslaughter charge and charges of robbery and burglary. She is currently serving her time at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville. Crime and punishment once again made the news in September when James Lee Games. 39, Pomeroy, was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for his role 111 hiding the late Doris Jackson's Mercury after her murder and for his August escape from the Meigs County Jail. Also in September, Meigs County residents were able to dial "911 '' to reach emergency personnel when the service finally went "live.'' September also saw F-16 fighter aircraft from the I 78 Fighter Wing of the Ohio National fly-over Guard perform a Pomeroy during the first Veterans Recognition I MIA-POW Remembrance Day Observance. Former POW Jessica Lynch was the Parade's grand marshal. September also had its share of parties including the annual Stemwheel Festival and Racine's First Party in the Park which saw country music star Joe Diffie play before thousands of visitors in Star Mill Park. October began with crime and punishment when Charles File photo F-16 fighter aircraft from the 178 Fighter Wing of the Ohio National Guard perform a fly-over Pomeroy during the first Veterans Recognition/MIA-POW Remembrance Day Observance in September. Williams, 40. admitted to the February murder of 83-year old Doris Jackson at her home in Tuppers Plains. As part of his plea deal, Williams was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for at least 30 years and is serving his time at Orient Prison. Also in October, two suspicious fires were declared arsons by the Office of the Ohio Fire Marshal, including one at the Langsville American Legion Hall in Langsville and B&D Market in Tuppers Plains. Occurring on the same day in October. a Long Bottom man appeared in Meigs County Court to face charges which included allegedly shooting his daughter in the head, while a man anned with an automatic weapon robbed "The Beacon" convenience store. Joe Lemaster. 32. faced charges which included allegedly shooting his 17-year old daughter (the daugnter was later treated and released from a local hospital), while Daniel Morrison. :w. Middleport. and Josh Rathburn. 24, Shade where later charged and atTested for the robbery of "The Beacon." Also in the news in October were the first vaccines against the HI Nl virus an·iving in Meigs County, as did the trial of PaulS. RiLer. Portland, who was accused of killing her late husband in April. The Rizer trial came to a dra- matic end in November when a jury acquitted her of aggravated murder but dead-locked on a verdict on a reduced charge of murder. The jury unanimously found her not guilty of aggravated murder but a lone holdout prevented the jury from reaching a unanimous verdict either way on the charge of murder. The jury does not disclose whether the lone vote preventing a unanimous verdict is one of guilty or not guilty. Rizer's retrial is scheduled for Jan. 7, 2010 in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. Economic trials then dominated the news as many in Meigs County believed they got served a Thanksgiving turkey the day before Thanksgiving when American Municipal Power announced it was abandoning plans to build its $3 billion coal-fired power plant in Letart Falls. AMP cited an "unexpected" 37 percent increase over the indicated capital cost of the project estimated in May. Though AMP owns over I ,000 acres in the Letart Falls area and has a reported investment of $200 million in developing the site, it remains unclear if plans to redevelop the project, possibly as a natural gas-fired facility, will include Meigs County. Please see Review. Al ~ POMEROY- Permanent appropriations for the 2009-10 fiscal year for operation of the Meigs Local schools in the amount of $29,435.300. and the purchase of two school buses, were approved by the Board of Education Tuesday night. The petmanent appropriation figure is higher than last year because it includes about S I million in federal stimulus money, according to Superintendent William Buckley. Contracts for the purchase of new school buses were awarded as follows: a 71-passenger in-stock 2010 International diesel bus with accessories at $76,888 to be purchased from the Marietta Truck Sales and Service. Inc.: and a 60-passenger handicapped equipped bus with lift, 2011 International diesel with accessories included at $91 ,838 to be purchased from the IDEA-B Special Education Fund. The handicapped bus will be paid for with federal stimulus money. As for the buses to be sold, a bid of $1 ,250 from Edward Hutton was accepted for the 1995 International Bus. There was no bids for the three I997 Ford buses so the board will now explore other methods of disposing of the vehicles. A Title School Improvement Subsidy federal grant in the amount of $120.000 to be used for math and reading programs \Vas accepted by the Board as was a $700 grant from the Gallia-Jack.son Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Service from the Youth-Led Prevention Initiative Grant. Approval was given to paying the Athens-Meigs Educational Service Center the excess costs of providing services related to special and gifted education programs during the current school year in the amount of $827255. As for personnel Can·ie Abbott was hired as a special education teacher at Meigs High School: for the remainder of the school vear: Karen Walker as an archery coacli'. Tim Simpson as a boy's freshman basketball coach on supplemental contracts. and Larry Hunt as a boy's assistant varsity basketball. volunteer. Also hired were Teresa Carr, Gay Perrin and Mona Knapp for the Targeted Reading Intervention program at Meig~ Intermediate School. third grade. Added to the substitute teachers list for the current school year were Robert Bundy. Fred Connery, Jr., Ashley Dailey, Kristen Gartner, Suzanne Heald, Ryan Myles. Ryan Sleight. Tiffany Smith and Jennifer Brown. Hired as substitute personal assistants to handicapped students to be used on an as-needed basis effective this year were Deborah Allen, Stephanie Allen. an Angela Hoalcraft. ln other action. the Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Education for the purpose of participating in the ··Race to the Top·· funding that may be available from the U.S. Department of Education. According to Buckley, the federal goYernment has set aside $4 billion to be awarded on a competitive application basis based on Title I funding currently received. He said the Ohio Department of Education, if money is forthcoming, will determine where the money goes. While the Board approved the memorandum of understanding, the teachers' union must also appi="ove it before the state will even consider funding if it is approved for participation. The 2010 organizational meeting for the Board was set or 7 p.m. on Jan. 12. Roger Abbott \vill serve as president pro-tempor for that meeting. Attending the meeting were Mark Rhonemus. treasurer/CFO, Buckley, and board members. Abbott, Ron Logan, Barbara Musser, LmTy Tucker. anti Scott Walton. �.. ·---=-=-=---·. ., .

"Pive hundred twentyfive thousand six hundred minute1>. How do you measure, mea:-.ure a year?"' So begins the song. "'Seasons of Love" from the Broadway musical, Rent. These words touch the heart even more when one realiles that the author, Jonathon Larson, died just before opening night. His search for significance in his life spills over into thi:-. song. How will we measure our year? The question seems appropriate as v;e begin a new year. What will be the standard by which we look at ourselves in 2010? Our world offers us different methods for evaluation. We can keep track of our sue- Matthew Dotson cess in material standards: our amount of money, the kind of automobile we drive. or the size of our home. This is one of the most obvious ways of looking at things in our society. We may also be tempted to measure the year by what we accomplish in our jobs: the raises we receive, the deals we close. or the number of children who pass our class. Maybe we have more artistic thoughts: the number of songs sung or enjoyed. the pages of books read, or the amount of good food eaten. We may choose a lot of different ways to look at our year, but as disciples of Christ, our final measuring tool must be the instructions Jesus gave us. Nowhere does Jesus make his requirements clearer than in Matthew 25:31-46. We are to give food and water to those who are hungry and thirsty and clothes to the naked. We are to welcome strangers into our lives. We should visit those who are sick or in prison. This, according to the Gospel of Matthew, is what we will be judged on: this is how Christ the King will determine who receives the king- : dom prepared from the foundation of the world. How will you use 525,600 minutes this It has never been eas) to live a meaningful life, but Christ provides the secret in Matthew, chapter 25. verses 31-46. How can we measure a year? Love is measured in • love shown as we feed the hungry, visit those in prison, care for the sick. and welcome the stranger. (Re1'. Matthew Dotson is pastor of Good Shepherd and St. Paul United' Methodist Churches. He is a member of the Mason Count\' Ministerial Association.) Middletown Works.

Officials say several hundred prehistoric artifacts were recovered. mostly fragments from arrowheads. spearheads, and evidence of stone tool making.

Five of the devices were· stolen from the Ohio State Univer~ity Medical Cent. in recent weeks, and poli reports indicate at least four more have been taken from Riverside Methodist Hospital. also in Columbus. · Defibrillators use electri- • cal shocks to correct abnormal heart beats that could be deadly. Hospital officials say the ones that were stolen cost $10.000 or more. None has been recovered, and Columbus police are"' puzzled. Lt. Michael Woods of the burglary squad says a defibrillator is not something a thief could easily sell. such as a laptop com• puter. The hospitals say they have other defibrillators, so patient care has not been affected. Ohio Briefs Squire Parsons Squire Parsons to perform POMEROY, Ohio Squire Parsons, a wellknown gospel soloist. will perform at 7 p.m., Jan. 2 at the First Southern Baptist Church in Pomeroy. Parsons has been nominated for a Dove Award for male vocalist and songwriter. In 1990 he was given the Marvin Norcross Award given for devotion to family. senice to church. involvement io community affairs and contributions to the gospel music industry. His song, "Sweet Beulah Land" was voted favorite song of the year by the "Singing News.''

Ark. with Dr. BilJy Graham. ASK DR. BROTHEI:Z.S Doesn't want to lose grandchild Bv DR. JoYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: My son recently separated from his wife. and they've filed for divorce. So far. their split seems to be an amicable one, with everyone being OK with the decision. There's only one person who's not fine with it me! I will miss not visiting my grandchild on weekends very much, and am very concerned that I won't be able to see him as often as I want. It's a do-it-yourself divorce, and no one wants to get legal about grandparents. So I'm on my own. Any advice? - B.L. Dear B.L.: If you are not the only grandparent, it might be a good time to approach your son and his ex and ask them if they could help you set some informal guidelines that all the grandparents could follow so that the little boy is not torn away from you or left to suffer under the whims pf one parent or another. The fact that it is an amicable divorce is a very good sign. Should your son and his wife have gone though some kind of mediation process. chances are the grandparents would have been considered and your visitation issues agreed upon. But this probably still could be worked in, but if no one wants to formalize your rights, for now you can try to explain to the mother that you simply want the continuit) with your grandchild. and see how she responds. Since both your son and his soon-to-be-ex-wife have your grandson's best interests at heart, they may welcome your continued relationship with him. You may be more comfortable seeing the boy when he is with his father until he gets old enough to meet with you on neutral ground. Even if there is a Jack of enthusiasm about seeing you. keeping up with his life and letting him know you are there for him is something you should be able to accomplish. Your son probably will want to help out with keeping his mom and son together. So don't be afraid to speak up now. even though you haven't been much of a presence during the divorce process . Woman charged in Nativity crash that kills 1 ASHTABULA (AP) -A woman has been charged with vehicular homicide in a crash before Christmas that killed a spectator at an Ohio church's live outdoor Nativitv scene. Police in Ashtabula say 29-year-old Jennifer Loeffel turned her vehicle into the path of a pickup truck, and the impact knocked a wheel off the truck and sent it veering into the crowd at the church. Police Sgt. Ronald Kaydo calls it" a "freak accident." The crash Dec. 23 killed 57-year-old Richard Seckman of Ashtabula, a Lake Erie community 53 of miles northeast Cleveland. Kaydo says at least six others were injured. One man remains hospitalized in Cleveland. Loeffel was arraigned Tuesday and pleaded not guilty. She was released on bond.

SunCoke Energy Inc. found some items as it prepared to build a plant to help supply toke for AK Steers Defibrillators disappear from Ohio hospitals COLUMBUS (AP) Two Ohio hospitals are reporting a rash of thefts of Community Calendar ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: My friends love to try to set me up with someone. It's become kind of a game to them to invite a nice single guy they know along with us when we go out and then ask me incessantly afterward if I liked him. It's so aggravating. I'm really OK with not being in a relationship right now in my life. I'm not making any blanket statements and probably will want to get married sometime in the future, but I'm fine right now. How do .I get them to stop? - J.A. Dear J.A.: I know it must be very aggravating to have your friends constantly put you in a position where you are "auditioning guys for a date. You must feel that you can hardly ever relax and have a good time when you go out. because everyone is casting secret glances your way to see 1f there seems to be any chemistry between you and the potential love match. If you explained to your pals that you'd feel much more at ease and ready to pa1ty if they would not think of matches for you every time you went out, they might even cease and desist. But realize that you probably should give your friends a bit of a break. You must know that they think they are trying to contribute to your long-term happiness.lt's a huge compliment to have them try to fix you up with different men they must be very fond of you and think you·re a good catch for other people they care about. That's not such a bad thing! And should you ever decide to give one of these guys a chance, it's probably a good bet that you will have something in common, as your friends know both of you a lot better than some dating site would. So. be a little flexible in the future if you dare - it's not about getting married, it is about taking a chance and perhaps adding something to your life that you don't even realize is missing. In the meantime, ask your friends to consult you before they bring a bunch of suitors along.

She eventually collected nearly 3 tons of such tributes and couldn't bear to throw any of it away. For years. she was unsure \vhat would become of it all.

"A firefighter would read them. and chuckle. or smile, or feel like. for two seconds. that things were going to be OK.'' she savs. Firefighters told her thev had stacks of such mail that eventually would have to be thrown away. Hoggard didn't want that to happen. so early in 2002 she began visiting firehouses, collectine the material and shipping it to Cincinnati. For a time, she stored it in her Oakle) home. until securing free storage space AP photo Tanya Hoggard, right, talks to Amy McEwen, Collections Manager/Registrar of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, about bringing various items to NYC in Cincinnati, 1 Dec. 27. Eight years ago, Delta flight attendant Tanya Hoggard·began collecting memora- 1 bilia that children sent New York City firefighters after 9/11. Since then, she has been searching for a home for the items, and now she's found one: The National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The items are now being prepared to be taken there from downtown • Cincinnati, the morning of December 29. from several businesses. While making the rounds of firehouses. she met firefighter Joe Tisbe, whose station - Engine 40. Truck 35 - lost 12 people on Sept. 11. "It was a very dark time for us," he says. "Emotionally. mentally. It was physically draining. And to see that kind of support, to see the letters kids had written, was a bright spot." He. too, believes it's important to keep the materials. "It's like saving your kid's first painting,'' he says. ''It means a lot more than the paper and ink that's there. It's the emotion that's involved in it." Hoggard hoped to raise enough money to display the materials in a traveling exhibit. That never happened. but portions of the collection were shown in 2006 at Cincinnati Museum Center and at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. In 2005. Crestview Presbyterian Church in West Chester Township displayed some items. But she could never find a permanent home. She contacted museums, foundations, and politicians, to no avail. "It was frustrating.'' she says. Two years ago. through a friend of a friend, she learned of the proposed Sept. I 1 memorial and museum. The memorial is scheduled to open on Sept. 11, 201 J, and the permanent museum exhibition in fall 2012. Hoggard contacted the museum. and offiGials flew to Cincinnati to view her collection. Soon they were working with her on a transfer of materials. Hoggard says she proceeded slowly and cautiously. She wanted to make sure the collection was going to a good home. Money was not an issue. Hoggard has never made a dime for her efforts. Amy McEwen. col lections manager and registrar for the memorial and museum, arrived in town Monday. She says museum officials are "very. very excited to be receiving this collection." "The fact that it was done by children. and was such an immediate outpouring of love and faith and hope. it just takes your breath away. "Look at this." McEwen says. opening an I ~-gallon storage bin, one of 80 that Hoggard filled. "I adore this book." It was written and illustrated by a fifth-grade class in Gloversville. NY. "America is freedom for all people," says a page that shows people standing in a lush green field. The following pages spell out other virtues: America is friendship. America is hap- piness. America is caring for each other. "What's wonderful about this collection is seeing the hope expressed by the chil- ·, dren that things will get better,'' McEwen says. '·They expressed love for the firefighters.love for each other." Hoggard calls it the Dear Hero collection. because that was the salutation on many of the children's letters. That will also be the title in the museum exhibition. On Tuesday. as the movers packed up. Hoggard snapped photos. Letting go is difficult. she acknowledged. '"I feel like (the museum) can do more with it than I can. havmg it sit here. The \Vhole point b to have people see it." And to see it is to be moved. like so many rescue workers were. by the heartfelt expressions of children. Police museum in Ohio gets fresh look AKRON (AP) An Ohio police museum with mementos of bank robber ''Pretty Boy" Floyd is about to reopen after a makeover. The Akron Police Museum has been overhauled by students, police officers. volunteers and donors. They spent the last year documenting and archiving hundreds of items and gi\ ing the museum a more visitor-friendly feel. and a grand reopening is set for New Year's Eve. The collection includes a "tommy'' submachine vun like the one Floyd u~ed before Akron police ended his crime wave in 1930. The museum showcases devices police used over the years, such as an early 20th century call box that predates portable radios and a 40-year-old "Drunkometer" that tested suspected drunken drivers.

A Hunger for More Occasionally my path interse,cts with that of others who. very carefully and cautiously. confide that they really want to experience more of God in their lives. Perhaps you yourself have met folks who have an almost "haunted" look in their eyes as they share their deep hunger for having a greater sense of God's presence. Perhaps they have even indicated to you that they have a great longing to know that God is \\'Orkmg in and through them. Of course, it is a miracle for any of us to become drawn sufficiently out of our satisfaction v.ith the humdrum run of "life-as-usual" here on planet Earth. No matter how often we think we see it happening toothers. when we recall that we ourselves are living miracles in that God has given us a desire to know Him. we really ought to celebrate the awesome wonder of watching that same amazing grace take hold of another person's heart It should always amaze us when someone shares this kind of desire and a thrill should always be running through us as we remember Jesus' words in John 6:44, that ''No one can come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me draws him ..." When we see someone beginning to wrestle with this ''hunger for more of God," we know that something profound is going on: we know that something supernatural is taking place; and \ve know that God is on the move as He cultivates something fresh in the life of this fellow human being which will take the "clay pot" which is their body and fill it with spiritual treasure! "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us" (2 Corinthians 4:7 NIV). It is not human nature to run after God, of course. Human nature. by definition, drives us to live on a purely human level. But God created us with grander themes m mind than for us to live our short lives only to perish into the dust. dragging a11 our potential down with us. Instead of our withering into the despair of everlasting meaninglessness. He extends to us through Jesus Christ something that sounds much too good to be true, since it is so foreign to our norn1al patterns of thinking and is, in fact, quite contrary to the messages with which we arc constantly bombarded from our world. In 2 Peter 1:3-4 He sets before us a great banquet of spiritual provision when He says, "His Pastor Thom Mollohan divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him Who called us by His own glory and goodnes~. Through these He . has given us His very great and preciOUS promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and es<.:ape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires." Isn't this wonderful? Jesus is the One "Who calls you by His own glory and goodness'' and He will give you, if you'll trust Him, His very great and precious promises! As He calls you to KNOW Him (which, as that passage says, is how one taps into "everything one needs for life and godliness''). He also extends to you an invitation to become a partaker in His own divine nature and escape the bondage of just living in your "human nature"! A lot of the time. instead of looking at the great mural of wonder and hope that God spreads out before us. telling us the story of His enduring faithfulness from before the beginning of time, we get caught up in the pressures of worldly priorities or get counsel from worldly sources which entices us to trust our wisdom and strength, forgoing God's promises. We naturally get our eyes fixed on the proverbial tips of our proverbial noses by focusing on our temporary circumstances. the material possessions of others, or a vanety of things which (from God's eternal perspective) do not matter that much. This leaves us. in a way. spiritually cross-eyed (in a bad sense). And let us not forget those timeless words of wisdom that so many loving (and tactful) parents have often shared with their children as they grow up, ''What's the matter with you? You want your eyes to get stuck that way?" But is there a "good" way to be "cross-eyed?" Yes. if we mean ti:lat we view life (with its burdens, snares. victories and rewards) through the lens of Jesus' cross. The cross of Jesus Christ is the one place where our fears and frustrations can be completely eradicated as we there see God conquer our sin and then death itself by raising His Son three days later. The cross of Christ is the answer to our need for salvation as Jesus bore a penalty that we could not survive (spiiitually) although He did not deserve it. The cross b also the proof of a love so perfect and so divine that the world could not receive it (John I: 10-11). Therefore, to be "cross-eyed" (in this good sense) is to see life from the position of a victorious child of God that povei1) cannot overwhelm, disease cannot defeat, rejection does not thwart. and hatred does not vanquish because her sm has been forgiven and God the Father holds her in His hand forever. Even death holds no fear for her because she knows that even if her body should faiL she still has eternal life with God. Maybe you have suffered from being "spiritually cross-eyed" in the wrong way, by keeping your eyes on your circumstances and your immediate priorities. Maybe God 1s now giving you some of His perspective on your life and His love for you. Perhaps, as He shows you how deeply and eternally He loves you by pointing you to the cross on which His Son died, He has stirred up a new kind of feeling in you, a feeling of restlessness that you are not quite sure how to address. In case you wondered, a feeling of dissatisfaction is not necessarily a bad thing: it might well be God's way of cultivating a deeper level of spiritual hunger in you. Such a feeling could be what prepares you to really start seeing how incredible His love is as He draws your eyes to the cross of His Son. God passionately desires that you take your sights off what you once thought would satisfy you and "lock on'' to Him. ''Since, then. you have been raised with Christ. set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" (Colosstans 3:1-2).

Or, as someone else has opined, ··garbage by any other name \VOuld still stink!'' Now that the better part of the twelve days of Christma!. are behind us, I think more than a few of us have been barking up the wrong tree, so to ~peak. as regards that which most people have ju1>t celebrated. In other words. whether it was "Christmas" "Happy Holidays" ... the ··season ·s Greetings'' ... whatever-by and large we celebrated. feasted. fellowshipped, and worshipped the Lord. Maybe not. Most likely there are those in our midst who really didn't engage themselves in much, if anything, that pertained in any way to the Lord. This has always been, and always will be, the case. What Christians observe as the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, and call Christmas. has never been . . 1s not now ... and never will be universally acclaimed a~ such. I strongly recommend we accept and get over this! It is my contention we're fighting a losing battle. vis-avis the world and the merchants thereof, when it comes to what we. as Christians, want the day to be known as. So. let's call it Christmas. and give God the glory and praise for it. The world rna) choose to call it something else, and with the "bottom line" and the primary concern being the money to be realized from it. Here's my point: instead of us sweating the small stuff-and when you think about it, what to call a g1 ven day mdeed is "small stuff," let's back off and let God handle it His way. For your information. the God I serve is a whole lot bigger and better than I am, and has never made it known to me that He needs my help for such peripheral matters as defending Him. God is His own best defense and evidence. Besides. the Bible assures me of a time coming when knees will bow before Christ. and tongues likewise will confes~ God's Son. Jesus Christ-our Lord ... is Lord of all Creation. (You'll find this written in Philippians 2: 10.) I'm thinking "Show Time:· and it isn't going to be pretty. For many, these activities will be too little-and way too late! Know. too: many of the bent knees at this future date, as well as the accompanying confessions of Jesus as Lord, will not be entire!) voluntary! Then. and only then, will those who ignore the Almighty in Pastor Tom Johnson this present life realize truth of God in Christ. As I write this. the same people who. either in their own per~ sonal ignorance of the Lord or, as proponents of the God-for-'• saken agenda known as "political con·ectness" refuse to concede the rightful place of Christ in Christmas, are gearing up for their next major, lucrative holiday - i.e .• Valentine's Day. Now. consider the irony related to this: although we may not appreciate their attitude about , the holy day just past. some of "~ us. perhaps. patronized thei~ ~ store(s) anyways. , Not only that, but we'll show up again in February for another gift for our loved one. Those store owners are banking on1illa. However. I have an idea I'd liW to share with you. Personally. I favor a good. effective ''plan of attack" when~ there is something I need to attend to. In this vein I endeavor to plan ahead for the task at hand, and try to be prepared for all possible contingencies (Jesus speaks to this in Luke 14:28. It works for me!) " Now, then: let's accept we're not likely to win the ··name . game'' concerning one, an~ encompassing and universal ' pleasing term for the holiday • we prefer to call Christmas: r~ Consider that the Bible doesn't use this term, or endorse the ' most-recent holiday as such: ' Besides, while we like to think . of this as the birthday of Jesus. there is absolutely nothing in the Bible to justify our doing • so! This has been debated and 1 deliberated for the past 2.000 1 years, but there is no way to say precisely when Christ was born! Sorry. but we don't ha~ \e "lock" on Dec. 25. So, ag th1s is small stuff, not worth~ our sweat. let alone our tm and energy. ~, Think. instead, of the face the vast majority of stores today are open on Sunday. DON'T GO THERE! Boycott them this one da). ana their income will suffer. Lower' profits mean they v. ill be more likely to close on Sundays, thus giving their employees the day off. Perhaps, they then will use this day to worship the Lord. We can make a difference. Happy New Year! 1 (Rei'. Tim Johnson is pastor oj 1 Trinity Church in Pomeroy.)

''as a street with ns manv broken dreams a~ it has potholes. is the· closest thin!! to paradise Father Bill .Moore has found~ll's tlie place where the 60-ycar-old Catholic priest serves God by creating abstract paintings that he sells by the hundreds. No ordinary preacher, Father Bill. as he's known throughout Pomona's tledgling arts district, long ago discarded his clerical collar in favor of a painter's smock. Only on Sundays docs he trade it for holy ,·estrnents to deliver Mass at a ({)cal church or one of several detention facilities for youthful offenders. All other times ~1oore is head of the istry of the Arts for the West Coast ch of his religious order, the Sacred • rts of Jesus and Mary. H1s job is to serve God by pamting whatever comes to mind. "That's Bill's gift. his talent. and we have to support that." says Father Donal ~lcCarthy. who is the order's West Coast p~ovincial and Moore's superior. '"When you've got a creative person, you shouldn't stifle that creativity." Leaders of the order. founded more than 200 year~ ago in France, know of no other rriember whose only mission has been to p~int. But then Moore, a child of the '60s who can quote the words of Jim Morrison, Bruce Springsteen and Jesus Christ with equal facility, has been a barrier-breaker smce he ignored his provincial's order his freshman year of college to study either philosophy or theology. He majored in art mstead . ''The next year. a letter carne from the provincial 'aying all the students are now encouraged to major in subjects of their choice. I thought that was very cool." Moore recalls with a smile as he sits in the lobbv of hi:. modest Mudio sipping coffee. A copy of underground COmic-book artist R. Crumb's "The Book of Genesis'' sit' on coffee table and works by Japanese t Kal.llrni Tanaka (a personal favorite) • displayed here and there. Since early childhood. J\loore says. he knew he had the calling - to be a painter. The call to be a priest came later. "I was doing little ab,tract paintings when I was a little hoy. like around 8, 9 years old." Moore recalls. "My grandmother would just think they were the greatest things." he continues with a laugh. "The rest of the members of my family. they were. ahh. kind of more like art critics." Not that the art world ha'> been all that harsh on him. ~1oorc's works, which are often compared to tho e of abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, sell for more than $5.000 apiece. and he has been the subject of frequent sho"' s at galleries throu!!hout the Southwest. Any profits he make; from those shows go directly to his order. "His work. as abstract as it is. has a definite spiritual quality to it,'' says Fenton ~1oore. who is curating a Moore exhibition that opened Dec.~24 at the Galerie Zuger in Santa Fe. N.~1. "It could be that it comes more from his heart than what you feel from other abstract artists. Or it could also be because he\ just a very religious person ... Although he once worked in a realistic style. doing figures and landscapes. Moore decided a dozen years ago that abstract expressionism would be his language. That has caused some consternation among his order. IJke the time he was commissioned to do the stained-glass windows for St. Anne's Church in ~Kaneohe. Hawaii. and proposed a series of abstract works. "The pastor there said, 'That's not !Wing to happen,"' Moore recalled with a laugh. So he reverted to a traditional style for that \vork, a~ he did for a recent commissioned painting of Father Damien. patron saint of Hawaii, who was a member of Moore's order when he went to live among the lepers of Hawaii's .Molokai island in the 1800s. But when he works in his studio. Moore approaches each new project with no specific plan. Working with acrylic paints, he lets his ideas tlow spontaneously onto canvas, then adds bits of metal, glass or other discarded. seemingly worthless materials to each painting. They represent redemption, a central theme in his order's belief that God's love is unconditional. It's that approach, combined with his intricate brush skills. that makes his art so appealing. says fellow painter A.S. Ashley. "I think the hard contrasts between the light areas and the colored fields are very striking and they draw you in.'' Ashley says. ··And then. as you get closer, you see not only the textures but also some of the intimate details that exist within them." Moore. who was ordained in 197 5. spent much of his career as a traditional Catholic priest who happened to paint. That changed in 1998 when his superiors created the Ministry of the Arts. Soon he had moved into a studio in a century-old building in this hardscrabble town 30 miles east of Los Angeles. He secluded himself in a rundown industrial neighborhood that was just beginning to reinvent itself as an arts district. He still lives there. with his cat. in a cramped loft behind his work space. For entertainment he occasionally tunes in an ancient TV that requires hanging a coat hanger on its rabbit-car antenna to pull in a local news channel. But he doesn't mind. "I don't know \\hat it is to be really wealthy. but I feel so rich." he says, rubbing his hands together enthusiastically. " I get up in the morning and I do what I Jove to do ...

Jesus not only came to offer salvation but He has actually overcome the world. I am glad that I don't have anything to fear because the light of the world has come and has conquered and overcome the world's hold on His followers. Jesus is good.

Md .• early Christmas Day morning. There was a certain uneasiness for having to make another trip to Johns Hopkins Hospital because of unfamiliarity with driving the streets of this metropolis. especiall) when it comes to practical, accurate directions for getting out without getting misguided. My previous experiences with my egressions of the city have been documented. I was in a hurry to get to the seventh floor. I was told that the man's death was eminent. Entering hastily the hospital lobby, a security worker taped an identification tag on my wrist, after which I hustled through the hallway to the elevators. Unfortunately. a sign indicated the elevators were out of order. It seemed like such a long time before I found other elevators. but those were out of order. too. The same was true a third time. after which I asked a passing nurse hO\\ I could quick!} get to the seventh floor. She replied. "Sir. you are already on the seventh floor. and, if you are Ron Branch, go to room 7202." I was really bewildered. When I entered the room. there was dirt all over the bed with a dirt-topped box situated in the middle. Another nurse entered the room. and said, "He died three weeks ago. After his burial. his wife found a note written before his death instructing that the box. that was situated on top of his casket was to be given to you. The grave Ron Branch was opened to retrieve the box for you.'' I carefully opened the box. In it was a type-written page of detailed instructions how to competently get out of Baltimore ... Then. I woke up! It was 1 a.m. Christmas morning. I had been asleep for only an hour. What an absolutely ab5urd dream about getting driving directions from the dead! But, the reality of application. although ·sounding like a stretch for associating spiritual truth. is certain. Living life for many people is not so different from those trying to find accurate driving directions out of a large city. They do not know which wav to tum. Their lives get messed up because they make wrong turns. While looking for and being open to definite directions. little do man) reali:te. for the most part. that the dead actually serve as an important set of informational directions for making the right turns in life, particularly as it im olves those who trusted God for directions for their own living. For example. consider that the writer of the Book of Hebrews. chapter II . told those to ''hom he wrote to consider those who had died. About those named. as well as those unnamed. the writer clarified that their lives were characterized by ab~olute trust in God. They lived by faith. and they died in faith. "These being dead yet speaketh.'" wrote the writer emphatically. This hits home with me. because the living faith of my own father still speaks to me directions for my life. So does a lady by the name of Ethel Cokely. I am inspired by the lives of Debbie VanMeter of Mason, and Jim Bird of New Haven. The life of our own son, Bran, does the same in certain ways. Although I wish they all were still here. there are certain turns taken in my own life that are directed by their lives. Why not find some inspiration for effectively directing your life at the onset of this New Year from the examples of those who died after having lived absolutely trusting God'? Resolutions are useless determinations most of the time. But. spiritual inspmttion exemplified by others is more enduring as well as endearing to the soul. In the mean time. my analysis is that this weird dream had a lot to do with post-tension Baltimorerelated driving stress associated with drinking too much coffee and eating too much clam cho\'.der earlier that Christmas Eve evening. Either that. or I am going to have to stop going to Baltimore. �1. 2. 3. 4. .:.....___ _. 5. ~ FIRST BABY OF 2010 CONTEST RULES Winning baby must be born to parents who are legal residents of Meigs County.

Tip- Please see Southern, B2 ROCKSPRINGS - One team continued its current funk. The other simply kept rolling along. Southern stayed unbeaten and also handed host Meigs its fifth straight setback of the season Wednesday night during a 59-46 victory in a boys basketball non-conference matchup at Larry R. MatTison Gymnasium. The Tornadoes (6-0) battled tooth and nail with the Marauders ( l-6) through the opening 12 minutes of the contest. with both teams exchanging leads on multiple occasions before the hosts claimed a 16-15 advantage after eight minutes. Things stayed tight early on in the second canto, but visiting Southern capitalized on a 21-11 surge over the period to take a 36-27 lead into halftime. Meigs fell behind 10 points (38-28) just two minutes into the second half, but rallied with a 6-1 run over the next two-plus minutes to pull within 39-34 at the 3:34 mark of the third period. Southern scored at the 3:01 mark to reclaim a seven-point cushion, then both teams went scoreless the rest of the period for a 41-34 contest headed into the finale. The Marauders closed the deficit down to 44-38 with 6: 12 left in regulation, but never came closer the rest of the way. Southern closed the game on a 15-8 run to wrap up the 13-point decision. Southern connected on 20-of-56 field goal attempts in the contest for 36 percent, including 4-of-13 from three-point range for 31 percent. Meigs, conversely, went 18-of-48 from the floor for 38 percent, including 4-of-13 from three-point territory. The Purple and Gold had six players score in the triumph, with Sean Coppick leading the way with 19 points. Michael Manuel was next with 17 markers. followed by Dustin Salser with nine.

Ohio St, Oregon took differing paths to Rose Bowl LOS ANGELES (AP) Green jerseys with silver feathers on the shoulders , topped by white helmets . That appears to be the answer to perhaps the mostasked question of Rose Bowl week: Just what will the fashion-forward Oregon Ducks wear for their first postseason trip to Pasadena in 15 years? "We expected them to do something wild and crazy for coming back to the Rose Bowl,'' said a vaguely disappointed Ohio State defensive lineman Doug Worthington. "We'll go out there and look at it for about 30 seconds, and then we'll forget it." There's no such mystery around Ohio State, which will wear the latest version of the white-and-gray ensemble that has suited the Buckeyes since well before their last Rose Bowl 13 years ago. "But we care about this part the most, and I think they do, too," Ohio State safety Kurt Coleman said Wednesday, pointing to the Rose Bowl emblem on his jersey's shoulder. Beyond that patch. the ever-evolving Ducks (10-2) and the tradition-rich Buckeyes (10-2) seem to have little in common in their approaches to offenses, uniforms and everything in between. Their many contrasts could make for a compelling game Friday in two powerful programs· overdue returns to the Rose Bowl. "We've all heard about how much being in this particular game means to our fans and our alumni," Ohio State receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. "Everybody knows this is your real goal every season when you're a Big Ten or a Pac-10 team. It feels good to be part of that tradition coming back." Oregon has its welldeserved reputation as Nike 's laboratory. with its innovative fashion sense and impressive facilities. Most of the No. 7 Ducks, who largely hail from California, cite that connection as a reason for choosing the school. "Our tradition is no tradition," Oregon left tackle Bo Thran said. '·We're always changing things up. trying new approaches. We want to make our own, and that's what we're doing this season.'· The approach couldn't be much more different in Columbus.

S.afety R] an Clark laughed off the notion Cincinnati d?esn 't want to play Pittsburgh again. The Steelers have lost five of their last seven.

"So I'm sure they have a lot of confidencl.! if they do have to play u~ ... The Steclers beat the Ravens twice in 2008.

And I think all those guys are character football players and competitors." Clark said. "Now if it were last year's (Steelers team), yeah. they probably wouldn't want to play us. But this year's team, I don't think strikes fear in anyone." Several players said the Steelers need to focus on beating the Dolphins (7-8) rather than worrying what the Patriots and Bengals do. "They're a team you can't look past at all," right tackle Willie Colon said. "They're going to have pride and they're going to be ready for us to get after them.·· Nose tackle Casey Hampton and running back Willie Parker will understand it if New England and Cincinnati rest their starters in what Parker called "a game you don't need." "Coaches have to do \\hat's best for their team," said Hampton. who laughed when told of Woodley's remarks. "Being healthy going into the playoffs. I think. is their main focus. If the game docsn 't mean anything. why risk getting hurt?" Bengals' Ochocinco: Jets' Revis can't cover me FLORHAM PARK , N .J . (AP) - Chad Ochocinco 's mouth is at it again. This time, the chatty Cincinnati Be ngals wide receiver took some playful shots at Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis in an entertaining conference call with the New York media Wednesday. "Darrelle Revis couldn't cover me in a brown paper bag on a corner of a Manhattan street inside a phone booth," Ochocinco said after asking if everyone had their recorders on. ·'It's impossible." Revis, selected as a Pro Bowl starter, was sent home from practice with an illness and was unavailable to respond to Ochocinco's latest swipes. Coach Rex Ryan was asked if Revis might have Ochocinco fever. ''I doubt that." Ryan said with a grin. "I like him, like the way he plays and all that. Hope he doesn't play this week, but anytime we play him. he's always got comments. r think it's good, good for the game." Ochocinco and Revis. who consider each other friends, are expected to be matched up during the game Sunday night, but it's uncertain for how long . The AFC North-champion Bengals might not have much to play for by the time the game starts, although the Jets need to win to make the playoffs. Ochocinco said he has called coach Marvin Lewis "at least 20 times" to see how much the starters are playing, and insists he told him the Bengals are "playing to win.'' "I said, 'OK. you get me excited and try to pull me out of the game, I'm not coming out. I will force you to use every timeout just to get me off the field,"' Ochocinco said. "That's what I plan to do, I' m not coming off the field, period . If Revis is in there, I'm in the game. I' m not coming out." Ochocinco said be thought up a scoring celebration in which he'll put on a Bengals firefighter's helmet making like famed Jets fan Fireman Ed - and sit on the goal post or one of his linemen's shoulders and get the fans to chant, "0-C-H-0 , Ocho. Ocho.

"Look here: Me and Rev1s is better than Pacq u i ao-Maywea ther, period. case closed," he said. "I don't care what anybody is doing Sunday night. If you don't tune into the game Sunday, you have no life. You have no life. You (have) never seen a matchup like this ever before." Ochocinco, who has 72 catches for I ,047 yards and nine touchdowns. has sent numerous tweets to Revis throughout the season. and the Pro Bowl cornerback recently responded: "good morning world. i just woke up from this crazy dream. (at)OGOchoCinco came to Revis Island and disappeared." "You know how I am, you know my personality, you know my style of play," O chocinco said. ''This is what I live for on a Sunday and I finally get it. I haven't had the opportunity to play this type of individual in a very long time." Ochocinco sounded genuinely surprised when told that the teams could poten- · tially face each other in the first round of the playoffs at Cincinnati. ''I like it." he said. "That would be me and Revis again. That's like Mayweather-Pacquiao II. He's Pacquiao. though." Revis wasn't the only Jets player to catch Ochocinco 's wrath. Linebacker Bart Scott had plenty of run-ins with the receivers back when he was in Baltimore. "I'll hit him in the mouth. and ·I'm not playing," Ochocinco said. "I know he takes a lot of things I say as a joke and I'll be playing. rm not playing this time because I'm playing for something else. I'll hit him in the mouth. helmet on or helmet off. I'll take that fine." Scott. also known for not bemg afraid to speak his mind. took the high road ' this time. ."I'm not going to give hun what he wants this time." Scott said.
