POMEROY — Here we go again. The Meigs County Commissioners approved a resolution on Thursday to send the 2.95 mill bond issue and levy for the Meigs County Correctional Facility to the Board of Elections for placement on the May 2018 ballot. The millage requested remains the same as the measure which was put before voters in November 2017, although the overall cost of the project has increased due to an increase in construction costs. The millage was able to remain the same due to a lower interest rate this time around. The resolution and associated paperwork are expected to be submitted the the Board of Elections later this week or early next week in advance of the Feb. 7 filing deadline. This is the third time the commissioners have taken steps to place the bond issue and levy on the ballot. If certified by the Board of Elections, this would be the second time for the bond issue and levy to appear on the ballot, with a failed placement attempt in May 2017 coming before the placement in November. The ballot language is for a 2.95 mill levy, including a provision to sell bonds, which would provide the necessary funding for the proposed 71-bed facility. The funds from the levy would be used for demolition, new construction, furnishings and operations of the proposed Meigs County Sheriff’s Administrative Office and Correctional Facility. The proposed 71-bed facility See LEVY | 6 Teacher facing sexual battery charge resigns By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest.com PATRIOT — A Gallipolis man charged with sexual battery, a third-degree felony, resigned Monday as a teacher at South Gallia after a criminal complaint surfaced of a reported incident that occurred last year involving one of his former students. According to Gallia County Local Schools Superintendent Jude Meyers, his last face-to-face meeting with Morgan Halley, 33, was when the Gallia County Local Schools Halley Board of Education decided to place Halley on administrative leave, Jan. 12. The superintendent reportedly delivered Halley’s administrative leave letter. “His letter of resignation was delivered to us through his attorney and the board took action in a special meeting last Thursday night to accept his resignation,” said Meyers. Meyers said the board accepted Halley’s resignation and the accused officially left South Gallia employment as of Monday. Meyers said the board was required and had reported the alleged incident to the Ohio Department of Education for further review. The superintendent previously stated the school system was doing everything it could to respect due process and partner with area law enforcement as its investigation unfolds. “We’re doing some great things,” said Meyers of the school’s progress through the year. “This doesn’t take away from that and we’re proud of the district and all the things we’ve been able to accomplish. Part of that is dealing with the good and the bad.” A Gallipolis Municipal Court complaint reports that on or around the date of Dec. 26, 2017, “Morgan D. Halley did engage in sexual conduct with Jane Doe at his home located at … Fifth Avenue, Gallipolis, Gallia County, Ohio. Morgan D.

Southern local teacher honored By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — A Southern High School (SHS) teacher recently received recognition from The Coalition of Rural Appalachian Schools (CORAS). Jenna Meeks, SHS Agricultural Instructor, was honored with the 2018 Outstanding Teacher Award distributed by CORAS on Jan. 24 at the Zanesville campus of Ohio University. CORAS has a 28 year tradition of advocating and supporting public schools across the Appalachian region of Ohio and recognizing outstanding teachers is a way to continue the tradition. Meeks shared this is her sixth year of being at SHS where she teaches agriculture to freshmen through senior year students and is also the Future Farmers of America (FFA) advisor. She said her classes include Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AG 1), Structural Engineering (Shop 1), Forestry, Agriculture Business Management (Work Study), Livestock Selection, Nutrition and Management, and, Agriculture Capstone (Shop 2). “Jenna is very dedicat- ed and totally invested in her students at Southern Local,” said SHS Superintendent Tony Deem, who nominated Meeks for the award. “The time that she puts in above and beyond expectations is tremendous.” Deem shared that Meeks is very active at the county fairs and has respect from her students as she provides tremendous opportunities for her students to grow and succeed. “She is always looking out for opportunities to grow both professionally and personally,” said Deem. “She is a great role model for young men and ladies.” Meeks shared it was a great pleasure for her to be among such outstanding educators at the awards reception. She said she was surprised, flattered, humbled, and honored to receive the 2018 Outstanding Teacher Award. “I love teaching at Southern and the warmth, trust, and acceptance my administration, students, and community has given me,” said Meeks. “I try to do what is best for my kids every day and expose them to new adventures.” Erin Perkins is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

Tenoglia OH-70026364 Monday, Feb. 12 had been “secretly altered” by the Republicans who wrote it. California Rep. Adam Schiff said in a letter to the House Intelligence Committee chairman, Republican Devin Nunes of California, that committee Democrats had discovered changes that were made after the vote Monday. “The White House has therefore been reviewing a document since Monday night that the committee never approved for public release,” Schiff said in the letter. Schiff asked Nunes for another vote on the memo, but Republicans didn’t appear to waver. Nunes spokesman Jack Langer said the committee vote was “procedurally sound” and “to suggest otherwise is a bizarre distraction from the abuses detailed in the memo, which the public will hopefully soon be able to read for themselves.” Farmers Bank and TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) #2013 Tuppers Plains met Monday evening at the Tuppers Plains United Methodist Church.

Senior FBI officials have also made direct appeals to the White House, warning that it could set a dangerous precedent.

Friday, February 2, 2018 3 �CHURCH 4 Friday, February 2, 2018 Noah and the flood I know most of you have heard the story of Noah that begins in Genesis 6, but today I thought it might be fun to hear it again. A long time after Adam and Eve, God looked down on His earth and was very sad and disappointed in what He saw. All the people had become evil, mean, wicked; God God’s Kids and knew He had to Korner do something, but Pastor Ann what? The Bible Moody says that God was so upset with what He saw happening that He even regretted He had made the earth and its people. (Genesis 6: 6) That is a very strong statement for God to make about His creation! But in His grief and planning, God noticed Noah and his family. They had stayed true to God’s plan and still worshipped God. They were good and kind and tried to always do right. God decided that He would destroy the earth and all that lived on it with a huge flood. Then the earth would begin again. Since Noah “walked with God” still, (Genesis 6:9) God’s plan was for Noah to build a huge boat, an ark it was called, to live in during the time of the flood. He and his family would stay on the boat while everything else was washed away. Noah was to take two (a male and female) of every kind of animal on the earth on the ark with his family. (That way, there would be animals to repopulate the earth later.) Noah was also to take whatever his family and the animals would need during this time. Well, Noah did exactly what God asked him. It was the hardest thing Noah had ever had to do. He built a boat that was three stories high and longer than a football field. He filled it with food, water, bedding, blankets, supplies – whatever would be needed for his family and the animals to survive. The other people laughed and made fun of Noah when they asked, and he explained why he was doing these things. Then the animals started arriving at God’s command, two of every kind you can think of: cows, camels, lions, hippos, dogs, cats, birds, horses, mice, elephants, sheep, turtles, rabbits, aardvarks, and on and on. Noah gathered them all in the ark. Finally, God told Noah to shut the door to the ark tight, and it started to rain. It didn’t just rain; it poured like it had never rained before – all day and all night. It didn’t stop, but Noah, his family, and the animals were safe inside. It rained nonstop for 40 days and 40 nights. Can you imagine that? The earth was covered with water everywhere, and no one was left alive. Sad, isn’t it, but the ark floated safely on the water. One day, just as suddenly as the rain started, it stopped. There was still water everywhere, so Noah waited a little while, and then he sent out a dove to search for dry ground. The dove finally returned with a green branch, so Noah knew the water was receding. A little while later, the ark landed on dry ground, and Noah and his family came out along with all the animals. The first thing that Noah did was to thank God for saving them. God promised Noah (and us too) that He would never again destroy the earth with water like He had done. As a sign of this promise and His love for us, God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Whenever we see a rainbow, we know that God keeps His commitments and that He loves us very much! Next time, you see a rainbow, remember the story of Noah, God’s promise, and how important it is to follow God even when it seems hard to do. Let’s pray. Father God, thank You for saving the earth and us. You gave us the rainbow as a reminder of just how much You love us all. Help us to follow You and be kind. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church. Daily Sentinel A busy brain with muted ears Do you ever struggle to hear the voice of God? “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry” (James 1:19 NLT). I’m trying to discern the will of God. But here’s the problem: I’m not a good listener. Instead of sitting still in the presence of God, I try to figure things out by myself. My mind often speaks. My ears rarely listen. And yes, it makes me angry! I have preconceived responses to the questions I’m asking God. In other words, before God even speaks, I already have connections made. Therefore, I find myself asking for God’s opinion of my thoughts instead of simply listening to His will. It’s no wonder I find myself so anxious! “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take” (Prov. 3:5-6 NLT). I depend on my own understanding. I try to connect the dots.

Consider because of that inherited nature.

Rather they were sinful behavior: “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in presented with a choice.

(James 4:17) Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill We might notice that in the Church of Christ. prophecy concerning the virgin Jonah didn’t obey God because he had a preconceived idea of how the situation would turn out. Jonah didn’t obey because he knew God would pour out His grace and love to the people of Nineveh. If Jonah would’ve simply listened to God instead of connecting the dots—well, the story would lack some interesting details! You see, it’s time for us to listen. It’s time to empty our brains of preconceived ideas and connections that aren’t from God. Our brains can become so full of ideas that we can’t find the space to hear God’s voice. Only by surrendering our thoughts to God can we truly become obedient to His call. God says, “‘Be still, and know that I am God!…’” (Ps. 46:10 NLT). So let me ask the question again: do you ever struggle to hear the voice of God? Maybe you’re making too many connections in your brain to hear anything with your ears. If so, you’re not the only one! Isaiah Pauley is a senior at Wahama High School. He can be followed at www. isaiahpauley.com, or on Facebook at Isaiah Pauley Page. Love it when that scripture coordinates with life I had opportunity last Sunday to hear a preacher friend of mine preach - Steve Little - fine message and delivery, which is the usual for him. He took a theme from an Old Testament text, and followed it through with several New Testament passages. I followed along attentively until he cited Romans 6:13. Part of that verse says, “…as those that are alive from the dead…” Parenthetically, I have that statement underlined in my Bible with my written note to the side, “How great is it to be alive Pastor Ron from the dead!” In that moment, the Holy Spirit of Branch the Lord touched my soul, and that Contributing Scripture came alive to me, because columnist it coordinated with a defined experience in my life. I laid my Bible off to the side and sobbed as quietly as I could (the older I get the worse I get about crying when stirred by the blessings of God in my life). Two and a half years ago I had to have heartbypass surgery times five. The surgeon said that there was a two percent chance that I would not survive the surgery as he spoke encouragingly and optimistically about the expected outcome. But, as we know, when the anesthetics turn out the lights, one can never be completely sure that they will come back on. Such is the reality of having surgery. After all, our pharmacist son, Keithen, told me as I was being taken to surgery that he had always heard that one not coming back successfully see a light in the distance. So, he and the other two sons present in the moment called down the hall as I was wheeled to the room, “Run from the light, Father! Run from the light!” What I am saying is that a smidgeon of doubt had been planted in my mind about whether I would be returning to this side of eternity or not. But, for whatever reason, it was an amazement to me that I did. I remember how my eyes seemed to pop quickly open. My eyes darted around the room, and I said in what I perceive was a joyful observation, “I’m alive!!” That is what the Scripture coordinated with my life, and I realized in that church moment how exciting the statement “…as those that are alive from the dead…” really is for the Christian life. Consider it. The Scripture indicates that to be unsaved is to be “dead in trespasses and sin.” That means that we are dead to God. We have no life with God. There is no eternal hope. Spiritually, the life we live is one vast grave. Spiritually, we are in a biotic coffin. But, when we receive Christ as Lord and Savior of our lives, it is as though that we become alive from the dead. How exciting is that consideration? But, let me be careful not to lose the point, which is that the Lord uses our life experiences at times to connect us with a more clearly defined understanding of Scripture. It is an awesome experience indeed. As exemplified above, I now have a deeper understanding of how awesome my life in Jesus Christ really is, which is connected to the real life moment I woke up from surgery. The value of this observation is two-fold. First, it highlights the importance of Bible study. Evidently, from my studying, the phrase “…as those that are alive from the dead…” had caught my attention. I had underlined it. I had made a note to the side of it. But, when I compared it to my surgery experience, I could see its meaning more clearly, and I was deeply moved and blessed. I have been all week about it, as a matter of fact.

Jane Doe (unidentified female victim) attends South Gallia High School and was a student of Morgan D. Halley.” Halley’s case has since been bound over to the Gallia Court of Common Pleas. Halley had bond previously set at $15,000 with a 10 percent surety and pleaded not guilty to the charge. According to the Gallia Common Pleas court website, $1,500 was paid to the court, equal to the 10 percent surety cost for Halley to bond out. Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2103. Scriptures From page 4 Second, it suggests that we practice a better patience and calmer endurance with the rigors and experiences of life, for it seems on many occasions that God uses things to reveal more of Himself to us in His Word, or that He uses matters to encourage us from His Word about some of the whys and wherefores of life. And, you cannot beat that with a stick! This Preacher was blessed by the Preacher. It was a good day to be in church, and to hear a great message from the Lord. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and ministers in the local area. By David Eggert Associated Press CHARLOTTE, Mich. — The young athletes who confronted Larry Nassar about molesting them at an elite Michigan gymnastics club saved some of their harshest words for a person who was not in the courtroom: an Olympic coach who for years sent teenage girls to see the nowdisgraced doctor. John Geddert operated the Twistars club, where Nassar offered treatments on Monday nights. His victims have complained that the coach created an ultracompetitive atmosphere, was indifferent to injuries and rarely offered gymnasts any choice to see a different doctor. “Coaching by fear, intimidation and shame and explicit favoritism was the norm,” recalled Annie Labrie. She said it was “no surprise” that Nassar was able to continue his practices as long as he did. “We were conditioned for years to obey at all costs.” Nassar was in court Wednesday for his third Kathy Willens | AP file Gymnasts who were molested by sports doctor Larry Nassar are reserving harsh criticism for former U.S. Olympic coach John Geddert, who for years had Nassar treat their injuries at his elite Twistars club near Lansing. His victims have complained that the coach created an ultra-competitive atmosphere, was indifferent to injuries and rarely offered gymnasts any choice to see a different doctor. Levy From page 1 would be located at the site of the former Veterans Memorial Hospital. According to previous Sentinel reports, the former hospital would be torn down to make space for the facility to be constructed. The facility, as proposed, would provide the opportunity for TODAY 8 AM 2 PM and final sentencing hearing, this time for the abuse that happened at Twistars. The nearly 30 victims who spoke made comments that went beyond the club’s environment to include allegations that Geddert was aware in the late 1990s of at least one mother who said Nassar had performed an “inappropriate procedure” on her 16-year-old daughter. One victim said she told her mother in 1998 that Nassar had sexually assaulted her during an appointment at the Michigan State University sports medicine clinic. Her mother talked to Geddert, and the two agreed that Nassar would not treat her daughter in private appointments again, according to the accuser, whose anonymous statement was read in court in-house treatment programs in an effort to help combat the drug epidemic. If approved, the new facility constructed with the levy funds would replace the more than 120-year-old sheriff’s office and jail which is located next to the courthouse. The safety of the current building, which houses five inmates, has been a concern regarding the safety and healthy of those working in the building, as well as visiting the office. Those health concerns were highlighted from the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association (OPBA) in a letter earlier this year. The letter from OPBA attorney Mark Volcheck asked for environmental testing of the building and land to be completed. Prosecutor James K.

Chillicothe 24/12 by a prosecutor. “Why did John continue to refer his athletes to Larry knowing full well his treatments?” asked the woman, who expressed guilt for not calling the police for another 18 years, after she read a 2016 Indianapolis Star story in which two former gymnasts, including an Olympic medalist, alleged that Nassar had sexually abused them. After the conversation between Geddert and her mother, she remembered, Geddert was “upset” and “mad.” “This was what I had to do so I didn’t have to see Larry alone again,” she said. The 60-year-old Geddert has been suspended by USA Gymnastics, the sport’s governing body, and has announced his retirement. He transferred ownership of the gym — which bills itself as the top-ranked club for women’s competitive gymnastics — to his wife, Kathryn. He previously was head coach of another club, Great Lakes Gymnastics, for a dozen years. A: February.

The boards were dedicated in honor of Tilley and his late sons, Kyle and Josh. Rio Grande dedicates new Track & Field record boards By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Under the guidance of veteran head coach Bob Willey, the University of Rio Grande Track & Field program has had its fair share of success over the years. The men’s and women’s programs have combined to produce countless NAIA All-Americans over the years, including Rio Athletic Hall of Famer Bernie Tilley. A new record board to showcase the top performances in URG Track & Field history was recently dedicated in honor of Tilley and his late sons, Kyle and Josh, just outside the entrance of the Newt Oliver Arena in the Lyne Center. “The new Track & Field Record Boards are a fantastic addition to the lobby in Lyne Center,” said Rio Grande athletic director Jeff Lanham. “It’s a tremendous way to honor former, current and future track & field student-athletes.” The boards were donated by Don and Barb Conaway of Lucasville, Ohio, the parents of Rio women’s basketball sophomore forward Kamryn Conaway. Tilley is the pastor of the church which the Conaways attend. “The Conaways saw Bernie’s name on the old record boards and, because they know him and attend his church, they wanted to do something to honor him,” Willey said. “Even if his records do get broken, his name will still be on these new boards.” Tilley, a 1977 graduate of Rio Grande and the current holder of four school records, said he was honored by the recognition. “There have been a lot of great athletes come through Rio, so I was really humbled to learn these were going to be in my name and I’m grateful to Rio and the Conaways for this. Having my name and my sons’ names on the board together is an honor. I’m still walking on a cloud,” said Tilley, who was inducted into “There have been a lot of great athletes come through Rio, so I was really humbled to learn these were going to be in my name and I’m grateful to Rio and the Conaways for this. Having my name and my sons’ names on the board together is an honor. I’m still walking on a cloud.” — Bernie Tilley, Rio Athletic Hall of Famer the Rio Athletic Hall in 1983. “I went to Rio because I wanted to continue my track career and see what I could do at the college level,” Tilley continued. “The country and the family atmosphere made Rio a perfect fit for me, and it was a great four years. I’m surprised that 41 years later those records haven’t been broken, but I hope having these boards motivate current and future track athletes to work to break them.” Willey said the new display will serve as motivation to his current - and future - studentathletes. “A lot of the people on this board were national champions and All-American athletes,” he said. “Seeing these records displayed gives our current athletes a goal to shoot for, and it works because three of those records were broken at our first indoor meet this season.” “This Record Board will serve as a constant reminder of the commitment and dedication Bernie Tilley portrayed as an athlete at Rio and as an educator for 35 years,” Lanham added. “He’s an inspiration for all athletes to overcome the odds against them and find a way to succeed. We thank the Conaway family for their gracious contribution to make this Record Board possible.” Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.
