In a series of unanimous votes, council took action on 16 counts against Sheridan before voting to terminate his employment. Mayor Mike Biggs told the Sentinel in a phone conversation that Sheridan’s offenses were defined as reported infractions as an employee and that with this instance being a personnel matter, more cannot be given about the offenses at this time. The Sentinel filed a public record request with the village on Wednesday morning for the personnel file of Sheridan, along with the 16 counts against the now former chief. Biggs stated that he will fill the request within the 30 days allowed by law, and will consult with the village solicitor to make sure it is done as is appropriate. Asked if council knew of the counts they were voting on (as there was no executive session or public discussion of he charges at the meeting), Biggs said the counts were provided to council in a pre-meeting packet for their review, allowing them to each make their own decisions on the matter. Biggs stated a letter explaining Sheridan’s termination was mailed to Sheridan on Tuesday. He added Sheridan has 10 days to respond. In accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, Sheridan may appeal against the 16 counts of allegations held against him. Biggs said until a new police chief is hired, he will be the acting police chief. He stated that in Ohio Revised Code the mayor is to act as police chief in the absence of one. The village will not act on hiring a chief until budget and appropriation matters have been made for 2018 (which must be done by April 1). This will allow for the mayor to make an informed decision on staffing based on the finances available within the village. The council agreed to have a budget meeting on Monday, March 5 at 6 p.m. in the Rutland Civic Center. Rutland village has two part time officers available for coverage as well as the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. In other business, council nominated Cliff Kennedy as president of council. The follow motions were also approved: Approve to table the reimbursement to Kimberly Will- ford regarding the W-2’s until Willford requests the reimbursement. Approve to change the pay period wherein the time will end on Sunday, then employees will be paid the following Wednesday. Approve to accept the proposal of cost per day for use of the Rutland Civic Center. Mayor’s court dates were set for March 13 at 6 p.m. and March 27 at 6 p.m. Willford approached fellow council members with fundraising ideas and encouraged them to think on the matter for further discussion in order See COUNCIL | 5 Orange Township joins online checkbook Staff Report COLUMBUS — Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel announced Wednesday the launch of Orange Township’s online checkbook on OhioCheckbook. com. In December 2014, Mandel launched OhioCheckbook.com, which sets a new national standard for government transparency and for the first time in Ohio history puts all state spending information on the internet. OhioCheckbook.com recently earned Ohio the number one government transparency ranking in the country for the second year in a row. Orange Township is the second township in Meigs County to post their spending on OhioCheckbook.com. Orange Township’s online checkbook includes over 1,400 individual transactions that represent more than $834,000 of total spending over the past five years. “I believe the people of Meigs County have a right to know how their tax money is being spent, and I applaud local leaders here for partnering with my office to post the finances on OhioCheckbook.com,” said Mandel in a news release. “By posting local government spending online, we are empowering taxpayers across Ohio to hold public officials accountable.” “Orange Township is happy to partner with State Treasurer Josh Mandel on the Ohio Checkbook transparency initiative,” said Orange Township Fiscal Officer Deborah Watson in the news release. “The OhioCheckbook.com program provides an exciting opportunity to implement transparency for the benefit of the taxpayers. This web tool is available at no cost to the township and will allow the people of Orange Township to see how their hard earned tax dollars are being spent. Our citizens now have access to our spending information in a convenient and interactive format.” On April 7, 2015 Mandel sent a letter to 18,062 local government and school officials representing 3,962 local governments throughout the state calling on them to place their checkbook level data See CHECKBOOK | 2 INDEX Obituaries: 2 Business: 3 Editorial: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 TV listings: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Courtesy of Sheriff Keith Wood Inmates from the Gallia County Work Release Center worked to clean up from the recent flooding in Pomeroy on Wednesday.

Billy Graham walked onto a stage at the Charlotte Coliseum for the 26th sermon of a five-week Charlotte crusade. “Tonight,” he began, “I want to talk on how to live the Christian life.” More than 13,000 people had jammed the arena to see the young North Carolina preacher just a decade into his public ministry. By then, Graham had already become one of the most well-known figures in evangelical Christianity; for two years running, he had appeared on Gallup’s list of most admired men and women. He would appear on it 53 more times. Billy Graham has died, his spokesperson said Wednesday. He was 99 years old — a man who grew up on a family farm in Charlotte, enjoyed friendships with U.S. presidents and world leaders, and perhaps has delivered the Word to more people than anyone who has held up a Bible. His message — the grace and saving power of Jesus — has reached millions across the globe, but it resonated not just because Billy Graham spoke the words. It’s because he lived them. “A Christian is more than a person who is living up to a system of ethics. A Christian is more than a person living a good moral life. A Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells.” Billy Graham, 1958, Charlotte How do you measure the reach of a person? You can start with numbers, of course. Billy Graham preached to more than 215 million people at crusades, missions and rallies. His Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, based in Charlotte, puts out a magazine that reaches 425,000 readers. It broadcasts a one-minute radio message that airs on more than 660 stations. That message is the same as it ever was — Jesus died for your sins; repent and give your life to him — but the man who delivered it changed through the years. Graham was a fiery Southern Baptist preacher early on — a blend of Bible and brimstone common in evangelical churches then. The man and his message softened, however, as Graham grew older and Christianity shifted its emphasis from God’s judgment to God’s love. Still, the preacher’s purpose endured: He led people to Christ with a message and an example they could follow. That example was intentional: Unlike preachers then and now, Graham largely steered clear of scandal. In 1948, he and his ministry team drew up the Modesto Manifesto — resolutions regarding financial integrity, sexual behavior, publicity and meaningful partnerships with local churches. Those guidelines separated Graham and his organization from others, as did Graham’s clear and deep devotion to Ruth McCue Bell, whom he married in Montreat in 1943. In the high-profile evangelical world, he was an exception — a leader who valued integrity over ego, a husband who lived in a full and thriving marriage, a man who offered not only words to learn by, but a life to admire. “Then our tongue — this little bit of muscle in our mouth that causes so much trouble, that splits churches and divides homes and ruins lives and damns characters and slanders people — these tongues now are to be disciplined.” Graham, 1958 Graham was not perfect. Some, including Harry Truman, thought he was too eager for publicity. Women were stung by dismissive comments he made in 1970 about feminism. In 1972, after attending a prayer breakfast with President Richard Nixon, Graham was caught on tape decrying the “stranglehold” Jews had over Hollywood and the media. When the tapes were released in 2002, Graham apologized and said his words then “do not reflect my views.” In his later years, he disappointed some followers and friends who thought his inclusive Christian message was tainted by full-page newspaper ads urging people to vote “for biblical values” and oppose same-sex marriage. (Many suspected Graham’s son, Franklin, was the force behind the ads.) But this is also true about Billy Graham: He embraced integration and the Civil Rights movement at a time it might have alienated his core supporters. In 1953, he told ushers not to erect barriers that separated whites and blacks in his audience, and he warned a white audience against feeling superior to blacks. In 1957, he invited black ministers to serve on his New York crusade’s executive committee, and he welcomed Martin Luther King, Jr., to join him in the pulpit in New York City. Later, he told a Ku Klux Klan member: “It touches my heart when I see whites standing shoulder to shoulder with blacks at the cross.” What does that tell us? That all of us have sinned, and all of us are forgiven, and all of it, according to the Rev. Graham, “is only a beginning. It is a lifetime of problems, troubles and difficulties. But you are meeting them with the help of Christ and the Holy Spirit who lives in your heart.” And so he did. He grew and he learned and he erred and he endured. Through it all, Billy Graham not only brought Christ to millions and millions to Christ. He was the man he called on so many to be on that Charlotte stage almost 60 years ago. A man who lived a Christian life. THEIR VIEW What did MLK Jr. say about Graham? One of Billy Graham’s greatest compliments came from a man he knew on a nickname basis as “Mike.” Most people know that person as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. King once said of Graham, “Had it not been for the ministry of my good friend Dr. Billy Graham, my work in the Civil Rights Movement would not have been as successful as it has been.” Graham died Wednesday morning at his Montreat, N.C., home after years of battling health issues. He was 99.

The King Center, a nonprofit formed in 1968 for people “to learn, be inspired and pay their respects to Dr. King’s legacy,” saluted Graham in a tweet Wednesday morning. “Praying for his family as they mourn, while celebrating his transition into eternity. Bolstered by his messages of hope and work on behalf of humanity,” the tweet read. This column originally appeared in The Charlotte Observer.

Blue Devils bury Point Pleasant, 74-26 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com CENTENARY, Ohio — They say basketball is a game of runs. The Big Blacks made a run, then the Blue Devils stayed on one. The Gallia Academy basketball team made a 44-9 first half charge and eventually rolled to a 74-26 victory over visiting Point Pleasant on Tuesday night in a nonconference contest held on Senior Night in Gallia County. The Blue Devils (19-3) found themselves in an early 3-0 hole, but the hosts countered with a 10-2 run that led to a fivepoint cushion with 2:04 remaining in the opening period. From there, the Blue and White spent the next 5:43 of the first half stringing together 22 consecutive points while opening up a 37-5 lead with 4:21 left in the second frame. The Big Blacks (3-17) ended a six-minute scoreless drought with a Kyle Martin basket at the 4:07 mark, but the guests were ultimately never closer than that 32-7 tally. GAHS — which hit its first five trifecta attempts in the second quarter — ended the half with a 12-2 surge and took a commanding 35-point advantage into the break. Point Pleasant sophomore Camron Long (25) releases a shot attempt in front of Gallia Academy defender Evan Wiseman (3) during the second half of Tuesday night’s non-conference basketball contest in Centenary, Ohio.

This marks the final game in the Red and White for Wahama’s lone senior, Lizzie Mullins. “She’s a hard player,” Arnott said of Mullins. “If you watch her out on the court, she’s a hustler. She’s got good speed and she did what I had her on the court to do, pressure the ball and play good defense. She played three years, she was here for the hard times the first year, we just kept getting better.” With the Lady Falcons potentially returning four starters next season, Arnott is looking for the Red and White to continue the upward trend. “We’re a young team, we’re like somebody’s jayvee playing somebody’s varsity,” Arnott said. “I’m not disappointed, we had a good year. This was a good year for Wahama and it looks better next year.

Kostas Antetokounmpo had 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting for Dayton (13-14, 7-8 Atlantic 10). The Flyers used a 17-4 run to tie it at 37-all with 10½ minutes to play and it was tied four more times before Jordan Davis hit a 3 to give the Flyers their first lead since midway through the first half. Landers’ tipin made it 50-45 with 1:45 to play, but Hasahn French hit a jumper and Aaron Hines made a layup to pull Saint Louis within two. Landers found Josh Cunningham for a dunk with 25 seconds left and then had a steal on the Billikens’ next possession as Dayton held on. French, a freshman, had 12 of Saint Louis’ last 13 points and finished with a season-high 20 on 10-of-15 shooting. The Flyers pulled within one game of the fourthplace Billikens (15-13, 8-7) in the conference standings, but are also a half-game behind VCU, Saint Joseph’s and Richmond (all 7-7). The top four teams get a two-game bye into the A-10 Tournament quarterfinals. Landers and Jalen Crutcher hit 3s on Dayton’s first two possessions, but the Flyers missed 11 of their next 14 field-goal attempts and committed eight first-half turnovers as Saint Louis took a nine-point lead into the break. Javon Bess and French made back-to-back jumpers to make it 33-20 with 18 minutes left.

Dartis added four assists, three rebounds and two steals for the Bobcats (12-15, 5-10 MAC). Teyvion Kirk scored 17 and Kevin Mickle and James Gollon added 13 points apiece with Gollon snaring seven rebounds. Mike Laster and Doug Taylor scored 11 and 10, respectively.

By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Where dreams can become reality. Mason County will be well-represented this weekend at Big Sandy Superstore Arena as two teams and 17 total grapplers compete in the 71st annual West Virginia Secondary Schools Athletic Association wrestling championships this Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Cabell County. Both Point Pleasant and Wahama are competing in the Class AA-A tournament this weekend, and both programs also have multiple entrants in the three-day affair for just the second time since the 2013-14 campaign — but also for a second consecutive postseason. The Big Blacks — who tied for fourth place last year with Oak Glen in their Class AA-A return — will have a total of 13 wrestlers competing this weekend, while the White Falcons are sending four grapplers to the big stage. PPHS — which won the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Class AA state crowns before being bumped up to the triple-A ranks through the 2013-16 campaigns — have six wrestlers making a return to Big Sandy Superstore Arena … as well as five Region IV champions. Point Pleasant will be sending double-digit qualifiers to state for the 11th time in a dozen years, and its also the largest amount of representation for the program since getting a qualifier in every division back in 2012. The Big Blacks have also finished inside the top-10 of the final team standings every year since the 2002 campaign. Ivey hits late jumper as Akron upsets Bowling Green BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — Jimond Ivey drove into the middle of the lane to hit a floater and Lucas Smith added a free throw in the final seconds as Akron upset Bowling Green 81-79 in Mid-American Conference action on Tuesday night. The teams swapped the lead throughout with Justin Turner nailing a jumper to put Bowling Green ahead 79-78 with 27 seconds remaining. Ivey followed with the floater to retake the lead. Bowling Green’s Dylan Frye missed a 3-point attempt, Demajeo Wiggins grabbed the offensive rebound but Ivey blocked his shot and Smith came away with the ball. He was fouled and split a pair of free throws with 2 seconds left. Daniel Utomi led Akron with 29 points, making 9 of 10 from the line and draining four treys. Malcolm Duvivier added 14 points and Ivey finished with 12 for the Zips (12-15, 5-10), who garnered their first road win of the season.

The three-day event at Big Sandy Superstore Arena starts Thursday with opening round matches at 6:30 p.m. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Coming off two tough road losses that dropped them out of first place in the Big Ten, the No. 16 Ohio State Buckeyes got a feel-good win when they needed it. A couple of underclassmen carried the Buckeyes on an emotional senior night. C.J. Jackson came off the bench to score 18 points, and freshman Kaleb Wesson added 14 as Ohio State routed Rutgers 79-52 on Tuesday. After being upset by Penn State on Thursday and then Michigan on Sunday, the Buckeyes (23-7, 14-3 Big Ten) exploded in the second half, just as the Scarlet Knights folded. “We were ready to get back on the court and try to get that bitter taste out of our mouths,” said guard Andrew Dakich, a graduate transfer who has contributed greatly as a ball-handler this season after playing three years at Michigan. Keita Bates-Diop, Ohio State’s best player who likely was playing his last game at Value City Arena, called it a “perfect storm” of motivation. Kam Williams, also playing in his last home game, had 13 points including a trio of 3-pointers. Senior Jae’Sean Tate contributed nine points and 10 rebounds. Corey Sanders had 12 points for the Scarlet Knights (13-17, 3-14), who have lost eight of their last nine. They were hurt by the absence of Geo Baker, the team’s third-leading scorer who was out with the flu. Ohio State led 32-27 at the half. The Buckeyes had built a 19-point lead coming off an 11-0 run with 5:41 left in the half but then went cold. Rutgers put together a 16-2 run to finish the half, during which Ohio State went 1 for 8 from the floor. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
