Modern Freemasons likewise use the

tools, traditions and
terminology of those
earlier stonemasons as
allegories for building
Temples in the hearts of
men;

MASON — Saturday
marks the eighth Bend
Area C.A.R.E. “Shooting
for Higher Education”
scholarship match, and
organizers reveal the
event is not for men only.
Set to begin at 9 a.m.
at the Broad Run Gun
Club, Chuck Stanley,
organizer and C.A.R.E.
member, said entire families can take part in the
events.
For those wanting
to enter the shooting

matches, they are for
20-gauge shotguns (factory guns only). Prize
winners will receive cash,
or various cuts of meat
like hams, pork loins, or
bacon.
Women can shoot, as
well, Stanley said, and a
variety of games are held
for those not wanting to
shoot guns. An example
is the individual “spider”
matches, where names
are placed on a target. A
marksman shoots the target and the name closest
to where the “BB” hits
wins a prize.

A free breakfast and
lunch are offered to all
in attendance, and the
public is welcome. Breakfast begins at 9 a.m. with
bacon, eggs, and sausage
gravy and biscuits. Lunch
is usually large pots of
chili.
“We have food available all day long,” said
Stanley.
There are also various rafﬂes throughout
the day, and a number
of door prizes are given
away. Stanley said the
C.A.R.E. organization
receives sponsorships

from area businesses.
He continued that proceeds from the shoot are
strictly for scholarships
to graduating seniors at
Wahama High School.
Three scholarships are
given annually, totaling
between $1,500 and
$2,000. He noted on rare
occasion, students from
other high schools have
been awarded one of the
scholarships.

There really is something about God’s Power
Terry and I attended
the peewee level of the
Kentucky State Wrestling
Tournament recently.
Our grandson, Zaven,
competed in it. Although
he had been involved in
wrestling for the past
couple of years, it was the
ﬁrst time that we had had
opportunity to see him in
action.
It has been several
years since the two of
us had been to a peewee
wrestling tournament.
We had all of our boys
to wrestle back in the
day. But, nothing had
changed. It was loud and
on the verge of chaotic.
The parents and coaches
were just as competitive
off the mats as the kids
were on the mats. Honestly, it felt good to be back
in that type of venue.
I think what made the
difference for Zaven during his matches was the

power he got from Paw,
which is what I am to
him. Paw Power, I call it.
He got Paw Power from

Power from my words

got Paw Power from my
attention. At least, that
is what I like to think,
anyway.
I initially thought I
would stay out of Keithen’s way in dealing with
his son before and during
the matches. So, during Zaven’s ﬁrst match,
I stepped to the background along the railing
surrounding the fourteen
mats each ﬁlled with

But, in my estimation,
Keithen was too laid back

to suit me. I made up my

But that argument is
a stretch anyway. I cannot help but believe that
the primary engine driving the production of
the movie itself is greed
which, in turn, exploits
lust, the engine that is
driving those who will
eagerly attend the movie.
All the emphasis of
these movies - all the sex,
all the need to control
others, and all the using
of others to build ourselves up - are sad counterfeits of the greater
pleasures of knowing God
and experiencing His love
and power in our lives.
They threaten to ruin

Love

Meigs calendar of events

From page 4A

God,’ and hates his
brother, he is a liar; for
he who does not love
his brother whom he
has seen, how can he
love God whom he has
not seen?” (1 John 4:20;
NKJV) Our love for one
another is a reflection of
our love for God.
Further, being made
in the image of God,
there is the expectation
and hope on the part of
God, that we will live
up to the potential He
placed in us. God wants
us to treat one another
with love so that we
will be more like Him.
This is why Jesus told
us, “love your enemy,”
because that is what
God does. “Therefore,
you shall be perfect as
your Father in Heaven
is perfect.” (Matthew
5:44, 48)
So what is the conclusion? Just this: God
is love, and we should
never doubt that love,
directed towards us.
Instead, we should
respond to it. We should
accept the salvation He
so desperately wants to
give us. But we should
also imitate that love,
treating others with
compassion, kindness,
patience and forgiveness, as we learn to be
more like God.
If you would like to
learn more about the
love of God, manifested
towards man in His Son,
and in His word, the
church of Christ invites
you to worship with us
at 234 Chapel Drive,
Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you have any
questions, please share
them with us through
our website: chapelhillchurchofchrist.org.

right that humans listen to the
verses. Jesus talks about the
voices of this world. It seems
broad and narrow paths.
He says, “‘You can enter God’s natural. However, as Jesus says,
there’s a better way. The path

narrow and the road is difficult, narrow path.

I want to share one more
verse with you. The last verse
of Proverbs 16 says, “We may
throw the dice, but the LORD
determines how they fall” (V. 13
NLT).
As I often say, I find it difficult
to trust God. It’s hard for me
to not have everything planned
out. However, when we follow
Jesus, we’re on a better journey—a journey that surpasses
our greatest imaginations.
A common theme in my life

is this: God will open doors He
wants me to walk through and
close doors He doesn’t want me
to walk through. The same is
true for you.
God is in complete control.
He knows what He’s doing. He
has your best in mind. Keep

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — Trading
in one Maroon and Gold jersey for
another.
On Wednesday inside Meigs High
School’s Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, MHS senior Lane Cullums
signed his National Letter of Intent
to join the University of Charleston
football team.
“It’s something that I think a lot
of kids think about since they’re ﬁve
years old,” Cullums said of signing
to play football at the collegiate
level. “It’s deﬁantly pretty cool to
realize that I have the opportunity
to play at the next level. I want to
thank God, my family and my coaches for helping me accomplish this.

I’m excited that I get to continue my
career.
“Ever since I was a freshman, my
coaches have done a good job preparing me to make it to this point,”
added Cullums. “I think compared
to a lot of schools around here, our
coaches do a phenomenal job of getting people ready to play in college if
they want to.”
In four years at Meigs, Cullums
has helped the Marauders to an overall record of 19-21, rushing for over
1,000 yards in his career.
As a junior, he led the team in
rushing with 114 carries for 548
yards and four touchdowns.

Rio women rally
past Indiana
University East
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RICHMOND, Ind. — In many ways, the math
just didn’t add up.
The University of Rio Grande women’s basketball team surrendered the game’s ﬁrst nine points
to host Indiana University East and trailed by as
many as 15 in the closing seconds of the opening
quarter.
The RedStorm had 13 turnovers in the ﬁrst period, nearly reaching their per game average (17.2),
and ﬁnished with a season-high 28 miscues.
Senior forward Alexis Payne (Deep Water, WV),
the team’s leading scorer and rebounder for the
season, was limited to just over nine minutes of
playing time as a result of an injury and was never
a factor in the contest.
And Tia King, IU East’s senior standout and a
strong candidate for River States Conference Player of the Year honors, scored 26 ﬁrst half points on
her way to a career-best 40-point performance.
Yet, somehow, head coach David Smalley’s club
mounted a methodical rally for, arguably, its biggest win of the season.
Jaida Carter had a season-high 22 points to compliment a team-high ﬁve assists and three steals,
while Abby Wendel added 18 points, a team-high
eight rebounds and ﬁve assists of her own to lead
the RedStorm in an 82-75 victory over the Red
Wolves, Tuesday night, at the Student Events &amp;
Activities Center.

ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio

buzz with the Yellow
Jackets.
On Wednesday inside
Meigs High School’s
Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, MHS senior
Zach Helton signed his
National Letter of Intent
to join the West Virginia
State University football
team.
“It means a lot to me,”
Helton said of signing
to continue his football
career. “I like the brotherhood, everybody is really
close to each other and
it’s honestly the most
fun sport for me, I love
it. Coach Bartrum is
always talking about it
at practice, the next level
and how much mental
toughness comes with all
of that. Good luck to the
Marauders next year and
good luck to Lane (Cullums).”
Cullums also signed to
play at the next level on
Wednesday and will compete against Helton as
part of the University of
Charleston football team.
Helton and Cullums
are the 13th and 14th
Marauders to embark on

Red Wolves pull away from Rio men

Big shot: LeBron’s
jumper at buzzer gives
Cavs 140-138 win

By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

CLEVELAND (AP) —
One second. One shot.
One player.
For one night, LeBron
James made all of Cleveland’s problems disappear.
James dropped in a
fade-away jumper over
Jimmy Butler’s outstretched hand as the
buzzer sounded in overtime, giving the Cavaliers
a cleansing 140-138 win
over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday
night.
Moments after blocking Butler’s potential
game-winning shot with
1.3 seconds left, James
caught a long inbounds
pass from Jeff Green,
created some space from
Butler near the foul line
and sank a shot that
ended Cleveland’s eightgame losing streak on
national television.
“Once I caught it, I just
trusted everything I’ve
done in my career,” James
said.
The Quicken Loans
Arena crowd erupted and
James was mobbed by

teammates as the struggling Cavs, who have won
just seven of their last 20
games, ﬁnally had something to celebrate after
weeks of tension and
turmoil in a season slowly
slipping away.
But as he has done
so many times, James
delivered one of those
moments that have
deﬁned him.
“The way we’ve been
playing, we needed that,”
said Cavs coach Tyronn
Lue, who was back on
the bench after falling
ill Tuesday night in
Orlando. “He was very
special.”
James ﬁnished with 37
points, 15 assists and 10
rebounds in 48 minutes.
The three-time NBA
champion also passed
Zydrunas Ilgauskas
(5,904) on Cleveland’s
career rebounds list.
Butler scored 35, and
Karl-Anthony Towns had
30 for the Timberwolves,
who were in position to
win in OT before James
came to Cleveland’s rescue.

RICHMOND, Ind. — For
the ﬁrst 16 minutes of Tuesday
night’s game at Indiana University East, the University of Rio
Grande men’s basketball team
went toe-to-toe with one of the
top teams in the country.
But the No. 2-ranked Red
Wolves closed the ﬁrst half on an
11-2 run to open up a 16-point
halftime cushion and things continued to spiral downhill after the
intermission.
IU East shot 65 percent from
the ﬂoor in the second half and
just under 60 percent for the
game, cruising to a 91-66 rout
of the RedStorm in River States
Conference action at the Student
Events &amp; Activities Center.
The Red Wolves remained
perfect in eight all-time meetings
with Rio, improving to 25-2 overall and 14-0 in league play with a
19th consecutive victory.
The win also gave IUE the
RSC’s East Division title.
Rio Grande, which lost for a
sixth straight time, slipped to
9-18 overall and 4-10 in league
play with the loss.
The RedStorm trail Carlow
University by 1-1/2 games with
three games remaining for the
fourth and ﬁnal postseason berth

out of the league’s East Division.
The two meet in what could be a
winner-move-on, loser-go-home
matchup on Feb. 17 in Pittsburgh
in the regular season ﬁnale for
both teams.
Rio trailed just 31-24 following
a three-pointer by freshman Trey
Kelley (Minford, OH) with 4:07
remaining in the ﬁrst half, but the
Red Wolves’ late surge produced a
42-26 cushion at the intermission.
The RedStorm got no closer the
rest of the night.
The Red Wolves opened the
second half on a 6-2 run to push
their lead to 20 points, a free
throw by IUE’s Nate Niehoff
extended the advantage to 30
points, 66-36, with 12:13 left and
a trifecta by Charles Peterson less
than a minute later gave the hosts
their largest lead of the night at
71-36.
Eleven different players scored
for IUE, which hit 17 of its 26
shots in the second half, including
a 12-for-16 showing from twopoint range.
Lucas Huffman led a quintet of
double-digit scorers in the victory
with a game-high 16 points. He
also ﬁnished with a game-best
seven assists.
Bishop Smith added 15 points
off the bench for the Red Wolves,
while Jaylen McKay had 12 points
and three blocked shots and the

OSU closes strong to end Purdue’s streak
WEST LAFAYETTE,
Ind. (AP) — Ohio
State’s Keita Bates-Diop
managed to end the
nation’s longest winning streak and shook
up the Big Ten title
race Wednesday night.
All it took was one
big basket.
His putback with
2.8 seconds left
capped Ohio State’s
ﬁnal charge, gave the
14th-ranked Buckeyes
a 64-63 victory and
ended No. 3 Purdue’s
school-record 19-game
winning streak.
“No. 1 by far,” BatesDiop said when asked
about ranking the
ﬁnal shot, which gave
him 18 points and 11
rebounds. “I knew if
Tate was going to miss
he was going to miss

long, so I just went
in for the offensive
rebound.”
The Buckeyes celebrated on the court
and each received their
own set of cheers from
a smattering of scarletand-grey clad fans when
they returned to the
court, aware they had a
share of the league lead.
It was a stunning
conclusion to a gritty
game.
The Boilermakers
(23-3, 12-1 Big Ten)
seemed to have control
after taking a 14-point
lead with 10:17 left and
still led 58-51 with 5:29
to go.
But Ohio State ﬁnished on a 13-5 spurt
and Isaac Haas’ 8-footer
at the buzzer came up
short for Purdue.

Now, suddenly, Ohio
State (21-5, 12-1) has the
inside track to the conference title with wins over
the Boilermakers and No.
4 Michigan State, which
is one game behind the
co-leaders. And with
home games against Iowa
and Rutgers and trips to
Penn State and Indiana
left, the biggest remaining obstacle might be
beating archrival Michigan in Ann Arbor on Feb.
18.
Of course ﬁrst-year
coach Chris Holtmann
isn’t looking that far
ahead.
“We beat an incredible
team and an incredible
program tonight,” Holtmann said after winning
his ﬁrst game in Indiana
since leaving Butler.
“This may have been the
best road environment
I’ve ever coached in.
What an environment.
Players win games and
our older guys did that.”
For Purdue, the loss
marked the end of one of
the greatest 2½ stretches
the tradition-rich school
has ever seen.
They lost for the ﬁrst
time since Nov. 23, for
the ﬁrst time on American soil all season, for
the ﬁrst time in 22 home
games and for the ﬁrst
time in 15 conference
games.
Yet on a night when
only four Boilermakers
actually scored, they still
nearly pulled it off.
Carsen Edwards
ﬁnished with a careerhigh 28 points, had six
rebounds and three

assists. Haas scored 16 of
his 18 points in the ﬁrst
half and Vincent Edwards
wound up with 11 points,
nine rebounds and gave
Purdue a 63-62 lead by
completing a three-point
play with 51.7 seconds
left.
But Andrew Dakich
kept Ohio State’s ensuing
possession alive by running down one rebound
and Bates-Diop ﬁnished
it off by grabbing the
second and making the
basket.
“I think it hurts, but
you have to learn from
it, honestly,” Haas said.
“The things that got us
beat in the Bahamas are
what got us beat today
with rebounding and
turnovers.
Big picture
Ohio State: The Buckeyes have won three
straight and 11 of 12 and
could now be the hottest
team in the conference.
They didn’t play great,
shooting just 42.1 percent from the ﬁeld and
6 of 18 on 3s. The difference Wednesday was
they made all the plays
when they counted most.
Purdue: The hottest
team in America kept
ﬁnding ways to win —
until their shooting touch
went awry Wednesday.
Make no mistake, Purdue remains one of the
nation’s top teams and
can still win a second
straight conference
crown. But losing this
one, on the same night
No. 1 Villanova also lost,
will sting.

Lady Falcons soar past Point, 67-47
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — Only one could
end a skid.
Host Point Pleasant
kept things interesting
early on, but the Wahama
girls basketball team
ultimately ended a sevengame losing streak on
Wednesday night with a
67-47 victory in a nonconference matchup of
Mason County programs.
The Lady Knights
(1-18) hit four trifectas en
route to building a 20-12
lead after eight minutes,
but the visiting Lady
Falcons (6-13) answered
with a 22-4 second quarter surge that ultimately
resulted in a permanent
lead.
PPHS — which has now
dropped 13 consecutive
decisions — trimmed
the 34-26 halftime deﬁcit
down to two possessions
(36-30) with 4:26 remaining in the third, but Wahama countered with an 11-2

charge that resulted in a
47-32 lead headed into the
ﬁnale.
Point Pleasant was
never closer the rest of
the way, and WHS took
its largest lead of the
night at 62-40 following
a Harley Roush basket
with 2:45 left in regulation. The hosts ended
the game on a 7-5 spurt
to wrap up the 20-point
outcome.
The game stayed
within a possession over
the opening six minutes,
with Wahama clinging
to a slim 12-11 edge ﬁve
minutes in. Peyton Campbell, however, caught ﬁre
over the ﬁnal 1:34 after
nailing three consecutive
three-pointers that turned
a one-point deﬁcit into
a 20-12 Point Pleasant
advantage.
The Lady Falcons

and he did a good job of

a lot of ﬁne-tune stuff
that he can do better on,
he understands that and
I’m sure his coaches have
already talked to him
about that.
“The most important
thing are the intangibles,
to be coachable, to give
110 percent all the time
and to always be ready,”
added Bartrum. “He’ll do
whatever they tell him to
do, he’ll do it 110 percent
and he’ll be successful in
whatever he does.”
At Meigs, Cullums
holds a 3.0 grade-pointaverage and has also
earned multiple varsity
letters in track and ﬁeld.

From page 1B

ran 99 times for 438
yards and ﬁve scores.
Defensively, Cullums
stepped up into the middle linebacker role in his
senior season and came
away with 95 tackles,
including 10 tackles for a
loss and four sacks.
For his efforts this past
fall, Cullums picked up
his ﬁrst all-league honor
in the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division. He
was also a ﬁrst team linebacker on the Division IV
All-District squad, while
landing on the Division
IV All-Ohio team as an
honorable mention.
“Lane will do a great
job,” said MHS head
coach Mike Bartrum.
“I’m very proud of him
and his accomplishments
here at Meigs High
School, but he’ll have

Cullums is one of 21
players to sign with
Charleston on Wednesday
and will join a UC team
that was 4-6 a year ago.
The Golden Eagles are

the Mountain East Conference.
“The location is a

looked at,” Cullums said

of choosing UC. “When
I went on campus, it just
felt right, it felt like I
needed to be there. The
coaches were great, I
already feel like family.
It’s my ﬁrst day ofﬁcially,
and I’ve gotten texts and
calls from multiple coaches. It feels like home.”
The Golden Eagles play
their home games at Laidley Field in downtown
Charleston, W.Va.
At UC, Cullums will
look to continue playing
as a middle linebacker,
while majoring in Movement Science.
“He’ll have a very successful football career
I’m sure,” Bartrum said.

Carter with 1:04 remaining in the stanza.
Holden connected on a
three-pointer 26 seconds
into the fourth quarter to
give the RedStorm their
ﬁrst lead of the night,
61-60, while Carter put
them in front to stay,
72-70, on a bucket with
1:55 left to play.
Wendel added the last
of her three-pointers on
Rio’s ensuing possession
to produce a ﬁve-point
lead and IU East got no
closer than three points
in the ﬁnal 90 seconds.
The RedStorm’s largest lead was nine points,
81-72, following a pair of
Holden free throws with

29.4 seconds remaining.
In addition to King’s
big night - she had four
steals along with the 40
points - Campbell tallied
13 points and a teamhigh six rebounds for IU
East, although she scored
nine of those points at
the free throw line after
going 2-for-13 from the
ﬂoor.
Campbell also had four
steals and shared team
honors in assists (3) with
Kristen Miller.
The Red Wolves shot
just 25 percent in the second half (8-for-32) and 32
percent for the game (21for-65), but went 30-for36 at the foul line.

Martin Truex Jr. waves to fans during driver introductions for
the 2017 NASCAR Clash at Daytona International Speedway in
Daytona Beach, Fla. Truex has been all over the country during
his brief reign as NASCAR’s newest champion. Truex will get back
behind the wheel of his No. 78 Toyota this weekend at Daytona
International Speedway and he’ll race Sunday in an exhibition allstar event. It will be the first look at the Colorado-based Furniture
Row Racing team since it manhandled the competition all last year.

NASCAR season begins
with Truex reigning,
series rebuilding
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
(AP) — Martin Truex
Jr. has been all over the
country during his brief
reign as NASCAR’s newest champion.
Since winning his ﬁrst
Cup title in November,
Truex has celebrated in
Las Vegas, New York,
Denver, Charlotte, Toronto and last week, Minneapolis, where he watched
his beloved Philadelphia
Eagles win the Super
Bowl.
It was the ﬁnal party
for Truex, who goes back
to work this week along
with the rest of NASCAR
to get ready for the 2018
season. The seasonopening Daytona 500 is
Feb. 18, and qualifying
for “The Great American
Race” is Sunday.
Truex will get back
behind the wheel of his
No. 78 Toyota at Daytona
International Speedway
and race in an exhibition
all-star event Sunday. It
will be the ﬁrst look at
the Colorado-based Furniture Row Racing team
since it manhandled the
competition most of last
year.
Truex led nearly every
statistical category in
2017, including notching a series-leading eight
victories.
“I feel zero pressure
about starting the new
season,” Truex said.

“We’re comfortable in
what we are doing and
having a lot of fun at the
same time.”
Truex doesn’t have a
teammate this year as
Furniture Row moves
back to a one-car operation. The change is one
of the small ripples in a
major wave that affected
the NASCAR landscape.
Erik Jones, who had
been on loan to Furniture Row, moved to Joe
Gibbs Racing. To make
room for Jones, JGR had
to bounce Matt Kenseth
from his ride even though
the two-time Daytona 500
winner didn’t really want
to retire.
Kenseth wasn’t alone:
Danica Patrick lost her
ride, making the Daytona
500 her ﬁnal NASCAR
race, and Kasey Kahne
was forced out at Hendrick Motorsports and
took a lesser job with
Leavine Family Racing that created decent
upheaval among the midpack racers.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
retired at the end of last
season, but will still have
a very heavy NASCAR
presence. He will serve
as grand marshal for the
Daytona 500, will be
part of NBC’s broadcast
team and has been very
clear he wants to be part
of NASCAR’s future in a
non-driving role.
