POMEROY — A local community center provides individuals with staple food items when needed. The Mulberry Community Center has an emergency food pantry open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. According to Nancy Thoene, an employee of the Meigs Cooperative office, the bulk of their supplies is donated from Save-a-Lot and Powell’s. However, donations are given from people within the community and from the local churches involved with the cooperative parish. Nancy Clark, Thoene’s co-worker, added that on a monthly basis each church of the cooperative parish will receive a list of two items the food pantry needs so they will stay sufficiently stocked. “People have been so generous,” said Thoene. The food pantry is filled with not only staple food items to make balanced meals, but also with hygiene products and various household products. Thoene expressed the food pantry is even equipped with a refrigerator, so they can distribute eggs and chicken at select times. Clark said that in order for an individual to be eligible to receive a food basket every three months, every other month, or monthly they must present a picture ID, an electric bill with the individual’s See PANTRY | 3 Commissioners nominate leadership for ’18 By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY —The Meigs County Commissioners met for their organizational meeting on Thursday to nominate a president and vice president and appoint employees for 2018.

Dean Wright | OVP Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees discuss new levy communication strategies. Rio College levy to potentially return By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com RIO GRANDE — The Rio Grande Community College Board of Trustees gathered Wednesday to discuss the potential of passing a resolution which could lead to the board asking the Gallia Board of Elections to place on the May ballot a replacement levy issue. A previous levy to fund the institution was defeated during the general election last year. Trustees discussed the need for more “boots on the ground” as part of a campaign strategy. Some trustees felt their stron- gest precinct support in the previous election came from neighborhoods where trustees knocked on doors. Alumni of the institution would potentially be asked to volunteer their time in a such and effort. Some college officials say they felt their weakest support came from the more rural corners of the levy’s precinct coverage area and that that may need to be a key focus area in a new levy campaign. A decision needs to be reached by early February for the levy to once again appear on the ballot. Voters in Gallia, Meigs, Jackson, Vinton and a small portion of Hocking counties would vote on the levy. The proposal concerning the previous levy filed with the respective board of elections offices for Meigs and Gallia counties, previously stated, the levy is “for a continuing period of time.” The first levy was established in 1974 to support Rio Grande Community College. Over the past 43 years, Rio has used local support to directly impact the quality of its academic programs and to support its commitment to an affordable educational option for citizens in the region. A replacement levy would continue to support Rio Grande Community College. According to Rio Grande Community College President Dr. Michelle Johnston, ballot language from the previous election would likely be used if the trustees push forward with a new levy election campaign. Last election’s ballot asked Gallia citizen’s for “A replacement of a tax for the benefit of Rio Grande Community College for the purpose of payment of operating costs at a rate no exceeding 1 mill for each one dollar of valuation, which See LEVY | 3 Meigs County Community Fund opens grant round Staff Report JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

Jim Renacci on Thursday jumped out of the Republican governor’s race and into Ohio’s U.S. Senate primary in an effort to unseat two-term Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown. The fourth-term congressman announced his plans in a letter to supporters. The businessman and former Wadsworth mayor earlier said he’d make that move if encouraged to by President Donald Trump, who carried the swing state in 2016. Renacci told supporters he was asked to seek the seat after a meeting at the White House earlier this week. He told The Associated Press on Thursday that was the biggest reason for his change, to serve by helping push Trump’s agenda in Washington. “It was a discussion about moving our country forward,” Renacci said. “Again, when the administration and the president is weighing in to get you into a race, it’s something I believe I should do.” In his letter to supporters, Renacci thanked Cincinnati Councilwoman Amy Murray, his selected running mate, and said she will now serve as state chairwoman for his Senate campaign. Republican Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel withdrew from the Senate race last week because of his wife’s health. That left Cleveland banker Mike Gibbons temporarily as the leading GOP candidate in a race likely to be pivotal to Democratic hopes of winning a Senate majority.

Levy Currently, the levy is based on property values at the time it was approved by voters, meaning that the value is assessed on what the properties were worth in the 1970s. “We have worked hard over the past 43 years to use community tax dollars responsibly. And we will continue to do so,” said Johnston previously. “We have been able to better serve residents of Meigs, Jackson and Vinton counties by establishing local locations. This levy will allow us to stay in those locations.” From page 1 amounts to $0.10 for each one hundred dollars of valuation, for a continuing period of time, commencing in 2017, first due in calendar year 2018.” The current levy, which has been collected since the 1976 tax year generated $115,919.93 in Meigs County in 2016. In comparison, the replacement levy, according to the previous campaign information distributed by the college, should all taxes be paid, would‘ve generated an estimated $385,928.25 in Meigs the Republican National Convention in Dallas in 1984 and during the same convention decades later in Cleveland.

Next to some of the devastated areas sat large estates untouched by the torrent, their lawns still green and the landscaping lush.

But within an hour they said they had made a clerical error, and the actual number of missing was eight. �CHURCH 4 Friday, January 12, 2018 God’s creation The first book of the Bible is Genesis. It starts out by saying, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” So who made everything on the earth and everything in the sky? God! Our God is very creative. From the smallest ant to the largest whale, He made them all - every plant, every star, every mountain, the sun, the moon, the oceans, you, me - EVERYTHING! God had a beautiful and systematic plan for the universe. On the first day, He made light and darkness – day and night. On the second God’s Kids day, God made the sky and seas. Korner The third day, He formed the land, Pastor Ann deserts, mountains, and hills. Next, Moody He put the sun, moon, stars, and planets in the sky on the fourth day. He thought there needed to be living things, so God made fish to live in the waters and birds to fly in the sky on day five. Day six was a big day because God made all the land animals from tigers to polar bears to rabbits, horses, to dogs and cats. Then on that same day, God decided to make His ultimate creation. Genesis 1: 27 says, “So God created man in His own image. He created him in the image of God. He created them male and female.” God made us! Finally, on the seventh day the Bible simply states, God rested. (He probably needed a break after all that!) Do you know what God said about everything that He made during that time? “And God saw it was good!” What is so wonderful about creation is that the Bible tells us we were made in God’s own image! We bear His image but in a smaller frame of course, and we resemble Him because we have His spirit inside us. God is spirit. He wants a relationship with us, so He gave us His own spirit to be able to need and enjoy Him, our family, and our friends. God created us out of love; He cares about us and what concerns us. He shared the best part of Himself with you and me by forming us to be like Him. Nothing else in creation can make that claim! We were not an accident; we were made by God’s own design to live on the earth and be a helper to Him with all that He had made. So whenever you feel sad or depressed, remember how God made you to be like Him – full of His spirit and love. He loves and cares about you and wants to help you whatever may happen. He wants you to be loving and caring and help others in return. You are special; I am special, all creation is special because God planned it all to be that way! We are certainly God’s children! Let’s pray. Thank You God for making the earth, the heavens, the animals, and us. You gave us all the best things to enjoy and even put Your own spirit inside us. Help us to always remember we are special to You and made by You. In Your name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church. The word of God The word of God is living and powerful, for it is communicated from the mind of God and carries the weight of His divine wisdom, foresight and power. (cf. Hebrews 4:12) The word of God is able to instruct us and teach us, pointing us in the way of righteousness and preparing us for every good work (cf. 2 Timothy 3:16-17). The word of God is able to save us, through instructing us concerning the salvation of Jesus, and how we might obtain it (cf. 2 Timothy 3:15; Romans 1:16) It was Search the through His divine word that God created the heavens and the earth, Scriptures and all therein. (cf. Genesis 1) Jonathan Truly, the word of God is able to McAnulty accomplish great things. The words of men are not so powerful. We cannot speak anything into existence. Our words are often foolish, lacking understanding, and frequently the things we say are in error, reflecting our own ignorance. There are some teachers and preachers who try to convince men that their words are as powerful as those of God, teaching that if you just speak with enough confidence, all that you say will be accomplished. Some believe something similar of prayer: that if you just pray with enough confidence and faith, God is honor bound to give you what you request of Him. But this is not necessarily what God has tried to teach us about prayer. We might notice that the apostle Paul prayed fervently to the Lord, in full faith, for Jesus to remove a “thorn” from his flesh, but Jesus declined to do so, assuring His beloved apostle that His grace would be sufficient, and His power perfected in Paul’s weakness. (cf. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9) Prayer is powerful and effective, but our words and our desires alone are not sufficient to save us or compel God to act according to our every whim. Likewise, James warned his readers that their prayers were rendered ineffective because they were praying selfishly, wanting material goods to spend on their own desires. (cf. James 4:3) Prayer is not a means to accomplish self-gratification, and God, the righteous judge, will not be compelled by our petty demands, if and when we ask amiss. Our words do not have the power that some would have us believe. But, again, the Word of God is powerful. And it is not far off, and hard to be found, rather, we read “it is very near you, it is in your hearts, and in your mouth.” (Deuteronomy 30:14) Moses taught this concerning the law God had given to Israel, the very same law that they were to obey. (cf. See WORD | 6 Daily Sentinel God is ‘under-girding’ us We often view our lives in terms of ups and downs. Times are that we are “up” emotionally. Things are going well. We have a brightminded prospect about how things are transpiring for our lives. After all, mountain-top living experiences are always up-lifting. Other times we are “down” emotionally or spiritually because, for whatever reasons, our perspectives are on the negative end of the scale. A favorite saying from a member of the Willow Island Church I pastored near St. Marys, West Virginia, for so many years was, “I sometimes feel as low as a snake’s belly in a wagon track.” While that sounds western-ish, it nonetheless describes “down” in poignant terms. Do you have a word or statement that describes “down” for you? Like you, I have had my share of downs. And, I am quite sure that, if we had our druthers, the downs would not be so dominant in our souls at times. Sometimes it seems that being down lasts such a long time. But, the Lord has “That’s enough taught me somenow. I am taking thing through good care of Eran. the years that He has it good I have come to here with me. You depend on.

He speaks sweet peace to my heart, deliverance to him. Paul was so excited about the Lord’s deliverance that he described it as though the Lord had raised him from the dead! That is a compelling consideration, for it was under-girding from God that did not let down. It was under-girding that could be counted on. It was under-girding that was durable for the most severe situation. If God’s under-girding can reach that type of dynamic level, we have a great spiritual and emotional resource at hand to minister to those downs we have from time to time. The Psalmist remarked, “Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation. But, be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.” Do not be dominated by the downs. You and I will get down, for sure. We just need to remain assured that the Lord capably under-girds us. God wants us to be a victorious people, not a defeated people. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and ministers in the local area.

Hey, I’m just being honest. The Apostle Paul is usually more interesting than Moses. So I opened my Bible to the fifth book and began reading. In only three verses, God revealed something to me I hadn’t before realized. Let’s take a look: “These are the words that Moses spoke to all the people of Israel while they were in the wilderness east of the Jordan River. Teen They were camped in the Jordan Testimony Valley near Suph, between Paran Isaiah on one side and Tophel, Laban, Pauley Hazeroth, and Di-zahab on the other. Normally it takes only eleven days to travel from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea, going by way of Mount Seir. But forty years after the Israelites left Egypt, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses addressed the people of Israel, telling them everything the LORD had commanded him to say” (Deut. 1:1-3 NLT). Did you notice? It took the Israelites 40 years to travel a distance that only required a number of days! No wonder we have the cliche: “Slower than Moses.” Why did God take the Israelites on a 40-year journey instead of the much shorter alternative? I believe God has given me an answer to this question. You see, God is more concerned with the journey than the outcome. Put another way, God is more concerned with the preparation than the destination. Why did it take God a decade to heal you of a disease that could have been cured in a number of days? Why did it take God 15 years to provide you the job that could have been provided in a number of days? Because God cares more about the process than the product. Consider what the Israelites experienced throughout their 40-year journey. They marveled as God split the Red Sea (Ex.14). They watched God miraculously provide manna and quail (Ex. 16). They received the 10 Commandments (Ex. 20). They constructed the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, and solidified a priesthood (Ex. 35-40). Just imagine if none of that happened. God didn’t want the Israelites’ bodies entering the Promised Land before their hearts. God didn’t want the destination to arrive without the foundation to sustain it. He didn’t want the Israelites to receive the promise and have no substance to handle it with gratitude and responsibility. And the same is true for you and me. Remember, God cares more about preparation than destination. At this point in my life, I’m particularly focused on selecting the right college and major. In a nutshell, I’m about to work hard for a number of years to obtain a piece of paper. I’m about to spend thousands of dollars, countless hours, and time away from my family for a sheet of paper that bears my name. Seriously? All that for a piece of paper?

No attendance required. No wait. No price tag. I stay in the comfort zone I’ve known for 18 years. I get a degree right now—not four or five years from now! Can it get any better than this? But here’s the truth: I wouldn’t accept it. Why? Because college isn’t about the degree you receive, it’s about the experience and wisdom you acquire throughout the journey. Where I go to college and what I study aren’t nearly as important as what God wants to accomplish in my life over the next several years. And you can say the same in your situation. Like the Israelites, God has a promise for you. But like the Israelites, you must brace yourself for the journey. As the saying goes, “Life isn’t handed to you on a silver platter.” That’s true. It takes work. It takes a journey. It takes perseverance. Otherwise, you would get to the promise and lack the necessary skills and wisdom to serve God faithfully. From a prison cell, Paul writes, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (Phil. 1:6 NLT). Your promised land awaits. Just keep walking when life is slower than Moses. Isaiah Pauley is a senior at Wahama High School.

It means that you know that word, and you speak that word. Such knowledge only 2 PM * Global comes through study and meditation upon the word, and such speaking comes only from a choice to confess Christ through teaching His gospel to others.

Psalm 1:2) Again and again God emphasizes the importance of knowing His From page 4 8 AM AP word, saying even, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) Likewise God wants His word to be on our mouths. “If anyone speaks,” says the Spirit, “let him speak as the oracles of God.” (1 Peter 4:11a) And again, we read Jesus say, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” (Mark 16:15) Here is a thought: Our words, based in our own wisdom are rather weak but God’s words are EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM SATURDAY SUNDAY 25° 11° 55° 57° 35° Rain, then snow this morning, fog; an icy mix in the afternoon.

(AP) — The fraud trial for four former executives and sales staff at the truck stop chain Pilot Flying J took a detour Wednesday when prosecutors played a portion of secret recordings that included one of the defendants saying the n-word and disparaging his boss’ NFL team. A federal judge allowed jurors to hear part of the recordings after prosecutors and the defense negotiated a limited release of them, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported . The judge has described the recordings as “vile” and “despicable.” The recording played in court showed the ex-workers in a rowdy meeting disparaging the Oakland Raiders and the Cleveland Browns, the newspaper reported. Pilot Flying J is controlled by the family of Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. The Haslams were not at the meeting and have not been charged with any wrongdoing. The four ex-workers on trial are accused in a scheme to shortchange trucking customers on diesel rebates. Fourteen former members of the Pilot sales team have pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme. The company paid a $92 million penalty to the federal government and settled a class-action lawsuit for $85 million. Prosecutors say the scheme ran from at least 2008 until agents raided the company’s headquarters in 2013. The audio played in court included former Pilot Flying J President Mark Hazelwood using the racial epithet and saying derogatory things about the Browns. Hazelwood’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, brought Hazelwood’s character and business sense into the trial, painting him as too smart of a businessman to do anything to endanger the company. That gave the prosecution an opening to use the recordings to dispute the defense position. The other defendants in the case — former Vice President Scott See TRIAL | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Jan. 12 Boys Basketball Southern at Wahama, 7:30 Ohio Valley Christian at Hannan, 7:30 Nelsonville-York at Meigs, 7:30 Wellston at River Valley, 7:30 Eastern at Belpre, 7:30 South Gallia at Miller, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Lincoln County, 7:30 Girls Basketball Ohio Valley Christian at Hannan, 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 13 Boys Basketball Eastern at Meigs, 7:30 Washington Court House at Gallia Academy, 7:30 Girls Basketball Portsmouth at Gallia Academy, noon Point Pleasant at River Valley, 1 p.m. Wrestling Point Pleasant at Fandetti-Richardson Brawl, Johnson City Tenn. 10 a.m. Wahama at St. Marys, 10 a.m. Eastern at Alexander Invitational, 10 a.m. Gallia Academy, Mt.

River Valley claims 57-48 victory over Big Blacks By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — It’s never over until it’s over. Visiting Point Pleasant turned a 17-point fourth quarter deficit into a fourpoint fourth quarter deficit over the span of five-plus minutes, but the River Valley boys basketball team ended regulation with a 6-1 run and ultimately claimed a 57-48 victory on Tuesday night in a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The Raiders (4-8) led the final 28:18 of regulation after pulling away from an early five-all tie with a 9-2 surge over the final 4:18 of the opening canto, allowing the hosts to secure a 14-7 cushion through eight minutes of play. The Silver and Black — who held the Big Blacks (1-7) to just 4-of-23 shooting in the first half — continued adding to their lead as Jarret McCarley scored six points as part of an 11-6 second quarter run that allowed the hosts to take their largest lead of the first half (25-13) into the break. McCarley and Dustin Barber both scored five points apiece in the third canto, but Hunter Bush answered with eight points as the Red and Black netted 6-of-10 shots as part of a 16-14 run that closed the deficit down to 39-29 headed into the finale. The Raiders appeared to have things under wraps after starting the fourth with a 9-2 run that led to their largest advantage of the night at 48-31 with 6:36 remaining, but the guests answered by hitting seven of their first 10 shot attempts during a 16-3 charge that cut the deficit down to 51-47 with 54 seconds left in regulation. McCarley, however, scored five points in the final minute as part of River Valley’s 6-1 run down the Point Pleasant freshman Hunter Bush releases a shot attempt over River Valley defender Matthew Mollohan (21) during the first half of Tuesday night’s boys basketball contest in Bidwell, Ohio. stretch, allowing the hosts to complete their nine-point triumph. River Valley committed only seven of the 25 turnovers in the contest, but the Raiders went only 19-of-32 at the free throw line for 59 percent and were also outrebounded by a 32-20 overall margin. Point Pleasant — which went 6-of-9 at the charity stripe for 67 percent — also claimed an 11-3 edge on the offensive boards, including an 8-0 advantage through three quarters of action. Despite leading all but 1:43 of the contest, it wasn’t the prettiest of wins for the Raiders — particularly given their struggles on the glass and at the free throw line. Then again, you don’t have to apologize for victories … and RVHS coach Bryan Drummond noted that, by night’s end, he was glad to get out with a win — given some recent circumstances. “It’s been a tough couple of weeks for us just with the weather and trying to get practice time in. That showed tonight at the free throw line and from behind the arc,” Drummond said. “We didn’t shoot the ball as well as we are capable of and we didn’t do a very good job on the boards, but it’s a W at the end of the night and that’s all that matters. “Obviously we have some things to work on moving forward, but this was a good win for us to get against a young, scrappy team like Point Pleasant. I think Josh does a great job over there and his kids never quit. They made things tough on us at the end, but I was proud of how we responded when we needed it.” Conversely, PPHS coach Josh Williams continues to preach patience with his young troops … but also mentioned that at some point they need to turn a corner and show signs of growth. Coincidentally, Williams felt that his squad did just that — just when things were at there worst. “We know we are a young group, but we need to keep buying into the process of learning as we go. Right now with us, it’s the little things that keep getting us in trouble,” Williams said. “Their 1-3-1 zone really gave us some trouble early on and we were in a hole, but then we played like we had nothing to lose and were able to put together a really good run. “Tonight we learned that we play better when we are aggressive and we had some kids step up off the bench and contribute. It’s a frustrating loss in a lot of ways, but there were also some silver linings that we can take from this as we go forward.” River Valley connected on 16-of-38 field goal attempts for 42 percent, including a 4-of-14 effort from threepoint range for 29 percent. McCarley led the hosts with a game-high 31 points and also grabbed a team-best six rebounds, while Barber followed with nine points and Jordan Lambert added six markers. Matthew Mollohan and Rory Twyman each contributed three points, while Brandon Call and Patrick Brown chipped in two points apiece. Chase Caldwell completed the winning tally with a single point. Mollohan also grabbed four rebounds and Brown hauled in three caroms for the victors.

The RedStorm, 18-1 and the winners of 16 straight games, were one of two new squads in the poll, which was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and the Association of Independent Institutions. Taylor University is the other, coming in at No. 22. Rio Grande, which appears in the Top 25 for the first time since being ranked No. 24 in the final regular season poll of the 2014-15 season, is scheduled to return to action on Saturday at West Virginia University Tech. Concordia (Neb.) is the new No. 1 team, earning 11 of 12 first place votes and 312 total points to earn the top spot. This is the Bulldogs’ 14th No. 1 ranking all time, which is the third most in DII Women’s Basketball. Concordia is one of just two undefeated teams remaining in this week’s Top 25 Poll, along with No. 2 Southeastern (Fla.) - which received one first place vote and 302 total points. Rounding out the top five is College of the Ozarks (Mo.) with 292 points, Saint Xavier (Ill.) with 282 points and defending national champion Marian (Ind.) with 272 points. Saint Francis (Ind.) and Indiana East were the two schools that dropped from the Top 25. IU East, like Rio a member of the River States Conference, garnered 39 points in the balloting for 27th place.
