The board unanimously voted to terminate the employment of Jeremy Dill, effective immediately, on the recommendation of Supt. Tony Deem. The board entered into executive session with Dill, along with union representative Jeff Beaver, to discuss the matter before voting on the termination resolution. According to the resolution, “the Board believes that the performance and conduct of Jeremy Dill constitutes grounds for termination under such statute, and specifically finds that Mr. Dill has exhibited dishonesty, insubordination, neglect of duty, misfeasance and malfeasance, which constitutes just cause.” A letter sent to Dill by Supt. Tony Deem dated April 30 states that the specific allegations against Dill include:Dill was absent from work without leave February 21, 2018 and April 17, 2018 through April 30, 2018; Dill failed to report to a meeting with Deem on April 30, 2018, after being directed to do so; Dill was dishonest regarding the reason he was not able to work. In a letter to the board members, Deem detailed the allegations against Dill. According to the letter, Dill asked on Jan. 23 to use his vacation and sick time for Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) for his wife as he stated she was having an experimental treatment on her back. He stated he would be back to work on Feb. 20. On Feb. 20 Dill called off sick and did not return to work. At that time Dill was reportedly informed by See CUSTODIAN | 5 Friday, May 4, 2018 s 50¢ Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Students from Mid Valley Christian School sing during Thursday’s National Day of Prayer observance at the Meigs County Courthouse.

A regional police SWAT team responded to the property Wednesday afternoon after the woman’s call and encountered a barricaded man. Officers negotiated with him for hours before a building on the property exploded around 8:30 p.m. The nine officers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and the remains of an unidentified person were found on the property, state police Trooper Kelly Grant said at a news conference. Grant said she couldn’t confirm the identity of the body until an autopsy was completed. The woman was not at the home when police arrived Wednesday night, but Grant declined to release her condition, saying it was part of the investigation. The owners of the property, Deborah and John Sayre, were going through a divorce, according to court records. Deborah Sayre filed for divorce on April 18 and checked a box for a line that said the marriage had “broken down irretrievably.” She did not return a phone message Thursday. John Sayre ran a plumb- coax the man outside. “Come out, John,” police said into a bullhorn aimed at the house before the explosion. Two of the injured officers were released from the hospital Thursday, according to Freda, who said the others who remained hospitalized were in good spirits.

Iran foreign minister: No renegotiating nuclear deal By Anita Snow and Terry Tang Associated Press PHOENIX — The Arizona governor signed a plan Thursday to give striking teachers a 20 percent pay raise, ending their five-day walkout after a dramatic all-night legislative session and sending more than a million public school students back to the classroom. Gov. Doug Ducey’s signature awarded teachers a 9 percent raise in the fall and 5 percent in each of the next two years. Teachers did not get everything they wanted, but they won substantial gains from reluctant lawmakers. “The educators have solved the education crisis! They’ve changed the course of Arizona” Noah Karvelis of Arizona Educators United shouted to several thousand cheering teachers. “The change happens with us!” Hours after Ducey acted, strike organizers called for an end to the walkout. Some schools planned to reopen Friday, with others likely to resume classes next week. The Senate approved the pay raises just before dawn as hundreds of red-shirted teachers followed the proceedings from the lobby, many sitting on the cold stone floor. The night before, the teachers, who are among the lowest paid in the country, held a candlelight vigil in a courtyard outside the original neoclassical Capitol building. They stood together with their right hands over their hearts and sang “America the Beautiful.” Wrapped in blankets or sleeping bags, they napped on the ground or in folding metal chairs, occasionally using cellphones to monitor an online video stream of the legislative debate in the chambers. Ducey said the teachers had earned a raise and praised the legislation as “a real win” for both teachers and students. The pay increases will cost about $300 million for the coming year alone. Some teachers returned to the Capitol on Thursday as lawmakers debated the rest of the state’s $10.4 billion budget plan. Among them was Wes Oswald, a third-grade teacher from Tucson who made the two-hour drive for a sixth day. Oswald said the budget still does not address serious issues such as the need for higher perpupil spending, raises for support staff and a smaller-student-to-counselor ratio. Teachers must still fight for those problems to be addressed, Oswald said, adding that “the worst thing would be for this movement to dissolve.” Arizona Education Association President Joe Thomas said Thursday that educators now should focus on a campaign for a November ballot measure that would seek more education funding from an income tax increase on the wealthiest taxpayers. “The budget is a significant investment, but it falls far short” of what the movement demanded, Thomas said. The state’s largest district in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa, as well as districts in the suburbs of Scottsdale and Glendale, planned to reopen Friday. Officials from Tucson’s biggest school district said they will not be ready and were working to reopen 86 school sites on Monday. liberty of dual nationals” in Iran, which Tehran denied. The video comes amid intense lobbying on Trump from all sides. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself earlier this week gave an English-language presentation on what he called a “half ton” of Iranian nuclear documents illicitly seized by Israeli intelligence. Netanyahu said the documents provided evidence that Iran attempted to develop a nuclear bomb in the 2000s. The United Nations’ atomic watchdog previously reported such efforts and said it has “no credible indications of activities in Iran relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device after 2009.” OH-70033844 Striking Arizona teachers win 20 percent raise, end walkout While directly criticizing the U.S. and Europe, Zarif did appear to leave some wiggle room for possible negotiations, however. “It is Iran, and not the West, that has serious grievances and much to demand,” Zarif says.

Street, Pomerory, Ohio RE-ELECT TIM IHLE AS YOUR MEIGS COUNTY COMMISSIONER The real Meigs County Commissioner, probably not what you think. I would like to try and address some of the questions we often get, and some of the comments. First, please realize that we have no legislative powers and we do not pass laws or ordinances. We perform our duties as prescribed in the Ohio Revised Code. The State tells us how much money we are going to get and mandates what we must do with it. We interpret those laws and manage how to accomplish this. We have no abilities to patronize or alienate any group or special interest. Our money to operate has no personality, it is garnered from taxes and fees and placed in appropriate funds to meet our budget. It makes no difference what your contribution is whether you pay five dollars in property taxes or five thousand. Your dollar looks like any other and that is all we see. You can not tell a Republican dollar from a Democrat or Independent dollar. It does not matter what village or township you live in. Your dollar is a part of what provides the services to the county as a whole with no regard of who you are. We live by the book and in the books. It is like balancing your check book at home times 23,000. That is what we do everyday. Yes we are accountants, administrators, managers, mediators, counselors, negotiators, representatives, historians, developers, investors ...... well you get the idea. Our job is not a cordial meeting once a week. That is only the appointed time that we publicly discuss and sign papers that are the tiniest part of a process that has usually been months and even years in the making. All this done, proper to form, and documented. For you have a thousand eyes watching your every move. This is not a job of glamour but of detail. Do your research, consider the facts, and move as you would climb a pyramid, from a wide base of options to a point. The right thing to do. I go into the courthouse every day prepared to answer the phone, greet the walk ins, follow up on active projects, and research and develop future ones all while staying within the budget. This is not a job you learn when you get here. You must possess the qualifications and experience to be effective and resolute inherently. This honorable position to serve as a commissioner demands a called, committed, compassionate, compelled leader. Anything less compromises the integrity of what county government stands for. Proud to call Meigs County my home, Tim. A Little Note. You can request a Republican ballot to change your party at the poll when you vote. OH-70047269 Ross D.

After an all-night legislative budget session the legislature passed the new education spending portion of the budget and Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed that part of the budget. TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s foreign minister took to YouTube on Thursday to criticize President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from the nuclear deal, saying Iran will not “renegotiate or add onto” the atomic accord. Mohammad Javad Zarif’s video, which was also posted to Trump’s favorite social media platform, Twitter, appeared to be taking his message to the masses after earlier speaking to news outlets across the United States to defend the deal. It comes as Trump has signaled he will withdraw from the agreement by May 12 if it is not renegotiated and changed. Those changes have included proposals to limit Iran’s ballistic missile program, which Tehran says it has as a defensive deterrent. The five-minute video shows Zarif behind his desk, delivering his message on the deal. He offers background first about the deal before laying into Trump and criticizing Europe for offering “the United States more concessions from our pocket.” “On 11 occasions since, the U.N. nuclear watchdog has confirmed that Iran has implemented all of its obligations,” Zarif, who studied in the U.S., says in American-accented English. “In contrast, the U.S. has consistently violated the agreement, especially by bullying others from doing business with Iran.” Zarif adds: “Let me make it absolutely clear once and for all: We will neither outsource our security nor will we renegotiate or add onto a deal we have already implemented in good faith.” There was no immediate response from Washington. The 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers saw Tehran limit its enrichment of uranium and number of spinning centrifuges, as well as hand over its stockpile of uranium and reconfigure a heavy-water reactor so it couldn’t produce plutonium. In exchange, Iran regained access to the global banking system and could sell its oil again on the world market. Airplane manufacturers, carmakers and others have rushed into Iran after the accord. However, some Western firms have grown increasingly reluctant to enter the market, in part over Trump’s constant criticism on the campaign trail and from the White House on the deal. Paid for by the candidate �4 Friday, May 4, 2018 All eyes on God “You are what you eat,” right? At least that is how conventional wisdom deals it out to us. And, of course, there is a great deal of truth to the adage. On the other hand, Jesus might have worded it a bit differently were He to have used the expression in the days of His earthly ministry. “The eye is the lamp of the body,” said Jesus. “So, if your eye healthy, your whole body will be A Hunger is full of light, but if your eye is bad, for More your whole body will be full of darkPastor Thom ness. If then the light in you is darkMollohan ness, how great is the darkness!” (Mathew 6:22-23 ESV). In so many words then, “you are what you look at.” For example, if you turn your gaze (so to speak) upon those things that are negative, hurtful, or ugly (in the emotional and spiritual sense), then you allow those things to have power in the shaping of your thought life. If you watch programs, movies, or shows that mock the dignity that God has appointed for humanity (which was created, by the way, in His image), then the darkness of pride, anger, and contempt will seep into your attitude towards your fellow human beings. Envy, the desire to have what others have, is the fruit of fixing one’s gaze on what another has and setting one’s affection upon it. After we fix our gaze on what others have, the shadow of dissatisfaction moves into our hearts and takes up residence. And, of course, pornography quite literally fills the mind (spiritually) with the darkness of lust which portrays people as nothing more than objects to be used. It cultivates utterly selfish attitudes and habits and snares its perpetrators (a.k.a. victims) in cycles of condemnation. In a broader sense, however, we “fill our eyes with darkness” whenever our eyes are not on God, whether it is an obvious “sin” or not. He is, after all, light and the only true Source of it. If this is so, then it stands to reason, that when our eyes are not “on Him”, gloom begins its slow, but steady advance into our psyche. When the light of His truth begins to grow dim, we find that things that come with the light of God’s presence begin to fade as well. Joy goes when we lose track of the wonder that is ours as God’s children through Christ Jesus. Peace fades when thoughts of worry and stress begin to dominate our busy thoughts, crowding out the calm assurance that our God is, in fact, in control. Love disappears because our hearts are not settled on the one true example and source of love, the God Who gave His only Son so that we might have life (see John 3:16). If you are not sure that this is the intended application of Jesus’ words in Matthew chapter 6, consider the context. The amazing passage of Scripture from which it is taken is referred to as “The Sermon on the Mount” and stands as the Lord’s foundational teaching for how we are to relate to God, how we should relate to one another, and how we should see ourselves. In this passage, Jesus speaks on greed, which is fixing our eyes on material things. He talks about worry, which is the outcome of fixing our proverbial stare on our circumstances. He teaches regarding forgiveness, lest we fix our gaze on crimes against us and become filled with anger and hate. He cautions us against judging others, so that we do not get caught up in the tentacles of spiritual pride and become calloused to the needs of others. But eyes that are filled with the awesome presence of God channel that light to the heart. God’s love and acceptance of us heals brokenness and comforts wounded hearts. God’s holiness show us the pure and wholesome standard to which He draws us through Jesus Christ, as His Spirit works within us to make us holy, too. His glorious power, revealed in the Bible and through the pages of history (for any who care to see it), trumpets the clear and awesome assurance that our God is sovereign and in absolute control of the cosmos as well as the most miniscule molecules of our existence. The heart blessed with eyes on God is a heart that is lifted up out of the ugliness of the world. The soul blessed with a heart set on God is a soul that repeatedly experiences joyful communion with its Creator. The life blessed with a soul filled with the presence of God is a life that bears fruit and leaves a lasting legacy of hope for those around it. If Jesus’ words applied to first century Palestine, then how much more careful should we be today with millions of images passing in front of our faces all day long via the internet and television? If folks needed to be reminded to keep their eyes on God then, how desperately do you and I need also to be reminded to turn the “windows of our souls” to the light of God so that we may be filled with light, too. I occasionally hear folks say “let your light shine”, only to discover that what is meant is that one should celebrate his or her uniqueness and no particular connection to the Gospel of Jesus is intended. But without the light of God within us, the only thing you and I have to offer the world is our own brand of darkness. Turn your eyes to Jesus first, and then let the light He sheds in your heart become a beacon to the lost world around you. “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father Who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16 ESV).

CHURCH Daily Sentinel Don’t let your guard down If I prayed as much as I worried, I’d be praying constantly. Sounds good to me. After all, Paul writes, “Pray without ceasing” (1 Thess. 5:17 NKJV). Now, there’s a part of me that despises prayer. I’d rather try to figure it out by myself. But there’s another part of me that longs for it. I realize my desperate need for Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, my struggle for control creates a barrier to my prayer life. Maybe that’s the purpose of Paul’s message to the Philippians. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6-7 NKJV). There’s something so powerful about prayer. The fact that I have the opportunity to communicate with my God. And I can’t help but desire to pray more. Often times, however, I brings peace. Yes, worry about things it brings results. instead. But it also protects In Philippians, my heart.

While it is right spiritual steadfastness and good to be saved that enables us to endure through faith in Christ, heavy loads. Adding the divine expectation “Godliness” helps us to is that we add on all the sustain moral character. Number six has to do with adding “brotherly kindness.” It is important that we reflect warm affections in the name of Christ to others, which leads to “love.” This has to do with selfgiving love, the highest quality of love there is. God loved us with such love that He willingly gave Himself in the Person of His Son for our salvation. There are reasons why doing this type of adding is expected. Peter says if we are not proactively adding these spiritual qualities to our lives we countermand the specialness of our salvation experience. We should consider the specialness of salvation in terms of the change of eternity, for sure. But, we should also consider the specialness of salvation in terms of personal change. Jesus Christ changes lives! If we are not endeavoring to manifest what Christ has done for us by adding and practicing these graces, we actually diminish what the importance of salvation means for our selves. That becomes a failure on our part. Furthermore, the See ADDING | 6 Love one another - John 15: 9-17 wants us to follow: Love one In this week’s scripture, John another as I love you. 15: 9-17, Jesus talks about love. Is loving people easy to do We use that word so much, all the time? No, it is not, and but rarely do we actually think Jesus realizes that fact. But about what real love means. He wants us to always think Love is hard to describe in many about how much He loves us ways because when we do try to define it, we mostly just give God’s Kids and then try to love others in examples of what love looks like.

This is the one command that He pleasing to God. Here’s what I’m trying to say: prayer protects your heart from sin. So why not pray more? When it comes to prayer, there’s only so much I can say. The simple fact is that prayer isn’t always fun. But it’s worth every sacrifice. Prayer can keep our lives in line with God’s Word. Jesus says, “‘A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks’” (Luke 6:45 NKJV). When we make the conscious decision to replace our worries with prayers, then God’s peace guards our hearts. I don’t know about you, but anxiety is just too dangerous. Open His Word. Rest. Open your mouth. And listen. Don’t let your guard down. Isaiah Pauley is a senior at Wahama High School.

Each sin is a slap in God’s face and a mocking of His authority and power. Each sin is like one of the nails that was driven into Jesus in order to crucify Him. And yet, God so loved the world that He sent His Son to die for that world. Jesus, looking down from the cross, knew that He was dying, not for fictional perfect people who were all goodness and light, but for the broken sinful masses of humanity who needed an opportunity for a salvation they could not provide for themselves. And so, He could pray, in compassion, even for the ones crucifying Him, because it was those very people He was dying for. Even if they never took the opportunity to find the forgiveness He offered, He was dying so they would have the chance. Jesus instructs His followers, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:44-48) This is not always an easy thing, but if we wish to be followers of Christ and children of God, it is a necessary thing. We live in a divided world, filled with animosity, tribalism, sectarianism, factions and the like. Some people are, in all honesty, hard to like because they are just so rude and hateful. Others are conniving and dishonest, ready to cheat us or use us at a moment’s notice, if they think they can get away with it. But Jesus died for them too. Because they are exactly the sort of people that need forgiveness and compassion. Jesus said of such, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Mark 2:17) Too often this idea is ignored in our dealings with one another, or in our conversations about others. Politics, of late, is a good example of this. Two teams, taking sides, both insisting that the other is evil, or stupid, or treasonous. Nasty things are said of one another, and offense is taken when the other side offers a rebuttal in kind. Forgotten by many who profess a faith in Christ is that Christ died for their political opponents too. But we can look a little closer to home. How many mutter angrily about their bosses, their neighbors, their children’s teacher, the person who just cut them off in traffic? How often do we forget, Christ died for that one too. And, more than that, Christ wants us to learn to forgive them, even as He was and is willing to forgive. The One who prayed, “Father, forgive them,” wants us to learn the same prayer. And having learned that prayer, to pray it. Again, and again. Seventy times and more if need be in a day. (cf. Matthew 18:22) We should be thankful that Christ is merciful, because that means He was willing to die for us. For each of us individually. But if that is true of me, then it is true of the one next to me, and the one next to them. Even the ones I might be angry at. So, when we get angry; when we get mad, and we want to lash out… we would be well served to take a moment and remind ourselves, “Christ died for that one too.” If you would like to learn more about the Christ who died for you, the church of Christ invites you to study and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

Detachment 1180 officers are Commandant Marine Jim Doss, Senior Vice Commandant Marine Leonard, Junior Vice Commandant Marine Cobb, Chief of Staff Marine Nick Berent, Adjutant Marine Pattie Leib, Paymaster Marine Susan Paulson, Judge Advocate Marine Jerry Bain, Sergeant-at-Arms Marine Martin, Chaplain Marine Richard Cooper. The local detachment works to serve the community with about 40 members in the Ohio Valley area. “The money that we collect we put right back into our communities, we buy hygiene supplies for seniors, we buy dinners for families in need, we help a lot of people with a lot of things in our communities,” said Patti Leib, adjutant for detachment 1180. One of the primary functions of the Marine Corps League is assisting marines with adjusting back into civilian life after deployment. “They’re starting new programs at the national level, they want to link up marines coming back home with detachments so that we can assist them,” said Leib. “Especially because of the suicide rate, it’s 23 veterans a day and we are trying real hard to stop that and help in any way we can.” For more information, contact Jerry Bain at (304) 675-1905. of Sutton Township will be held at 7 p.m. in the Racine Village Hall Council Chambers.

But, where the water meets the wheel is this: if God wants us to have these spiritual qualities added to our lives, how do we get them properly incorporated? I tend to think that there must first be prayerful consideration as to whether or not these exist in our spiritual lives according to the level of God’s expectations. Making an accounting presupposes making an adding. Furthermore, if we identify what may be lacking, confession to God is the first step, followed up by making request that the Lord instill it in your life according to His will. Certainly, we should express commitment to the purposes of God for it. We are called to be specialized Christians. As it is needed, lets do some adding.
