To combat Influenza in the surrounding communities, Holzer is hosting multiple drive-thru community vaccination clinics at several of its locations.

Two clues are released on Fridays regarding the locations of two rocks, with this week’s clues as follows: - “The Rio Farmer’s market sets up here on Wednesdays.” - “Learn about Gallia County’s Welsh settlers at this center.” Since the rock hunt began this month, a total of eight different rocks have been brightly painted with a fleur-de-lis and will be hidden throughout Gallia County. All rocks will be visible and will be placed outdoors. Each rock will be individually matched with a prize. Week three prizes are OSU gourd decoration and a 31 lunchbox. When a rock is found, return it to the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau (GCCVB) on Second Avenue, Gallipolis, to collect the prize. Rock Hunt September wraps up on Oct. 2. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Friday, September 18, 2020 3 Sedition charge may apply to protest violence By Michael Balsamo, Alanna Durkin Richer and Colleen Long Associated Press WASHINGTON — In a private call with federal prosecutors across the country, Attorney General William Barr’s message was clear: Aggressively go after demonstrators who cause violence. Following up with a memo Thursday obtained by The Associated Press, Justice officials “re-emphasized” that prosecutors should even consider bringing rarely used sedition charges for some unrest cases. The statute could “potentially apply to some of the violent acts that have occurred.” Barr is pushing his U.S. attorneys to bring federal charges whenever they can, keeping a grip on cases even if a defendant could be tried instead in state court, according to officials with knowledge of last week’s call who were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity. Federal convictions often result in longer prison sentences. Mike Balsamo | AP, File Attorney General William Barr participates in a roll call with police officers from the Kansas City Police Department in Kansas City, Mo., in August. In a private conference call this week with his U.S. attorneys nationwide, Barr said he wanted prosecutors to be aggressive in charging demonstrators who cause violence. The Trump administration’s crackdown has already led to more than 300 arrests on federal crimes in the protests since the death of George Floyd. An AP analysis of the data shows that while many people are accused of violent crimes such as arson for hurling Molotov cocktails and burning police cars and assault for injuring law enforcement, others are not. That’s led to criticism that at least some arrests are a political- ly motivated effort to stymie demonstrations. “The speed at which this whole thing was moved from state court to federal court is stunning and unbelievable,” said Charles Sunwabe, who represents an Erie, Pennsylvania, man accused of lighting a fire at a coffee shop after a May 30 protest. “It’s an attempt to intimidate these demonstrators and to silence them,” he said. Some cases are viewed as trumped up and should not be in federal court, lawyers say, including a teenager accused of civil disorder for claiming online “we are not each other’s enemy, only enemy is 12,” a reference to law enforcement. The administration has seized on the demonstrations and an aggressive federal response to showcase what President Donald Trump says is his law-andorder prowess, claiming he is countering rising crime in cities run by Democrats. Trump has derided protesters and played up the violence around protests, though the majority of them are peaceful. Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen wrote in the Thursday memo that the sedition statute doesn’t require proof of a plot to overthrow the government; it instead could be used when a defendant tries to oppose the government’s authority by force.

The Old Testament tells the story of God’s people before Jesus was born, and the New Testament tells the story of His people after Jesus was born. God’s people were called the Israelites. Their first leader’s name was Moses. The book of Exodus tells about Moses and the Israelites’ journey to the Promise Land. You see, at this period in Bible history, the Israelites were slaves to the Egyptians. God chose Moses to free them from their captivity and lead them to the land that God promised them as their home. Their journey was a long and hard one mostly through the desert. Often, they had little to eat and drink. outside their tents, The people began the ground was to complain and covered with a grumble to Moses. fine, flaky, white They said, “At substance. It was least when we were unlike anything slaves in Egypt, we they had ever seen. had plenty to eat When they saw it, and drink. Now, Ann they asked, “What you have brought Moody us out here to Contributing is it?” Moses said to them, “It is the starve to death.” columnist bread that the God heard His Lord has given you people complaining and told Moses, “I am to eat.”(Exodus 16:15) going to rain down bread God’s bread was called from heaven for you, and manna, and it tasted like sweet cake made with each day the people can go out and gather enough honey the Bible says. Moses told them that bread for that day. On God had said they were the sixth day, when they to gather only enough prepare what they have bread/manna for one day gathered, it will turn out at a time. If they tried to be twice as much as to gather more, it would they need for that day.” spoil. Why do you think (Remember on the 7th God told them that? It is day, the Sabbath, they because God wanted to were to do no work.) see if the people would The next morning obey Him and trust Him when the people went to send the bread that they needed to live each and every day. God still provides what we need for each and every day, doesn’t He? That is why in the New Testament Jesus taught us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” in the Lord’s Prayer. Daily, God sends us what we need to get through the day if we will trust and rely on Him. Let’s pray together. Dear Father, just as You provided daily bread for Your children in the time of Moses, You still provide all our needs each and every day. For all of Your goodness, we give thanks. Amen.

If we are not evil thing, but rather that His, the evidence that we are still lost to Him, dying to our own selfish is found in our character, pursuits, and values. In other words, a person cannot become a child of God and still live like the world. “Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

TVMA (:55) SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Always be ready for His return A question is raised concerning the phrase, “wars and rumors of wars,” and being ready for the judgment day. This is a fairly common question for there are many who, whenever they begin discussing the end of the world and judgment day, throw out the phrase as if it were significant, and there are quite a few who believe that this is one of the signs, given in the Bible, conthe return of Christ. Jonathan cerning In connection to this, one is McAnulty reminded of Mark Twain’s famous Contributing observation, “The trouble with the Columnist world is not that people know too little; it’s that they know so many things that just aren’t so.” Certainly, when it comes to what the Bible teaches, we should make sure that what we are being taught is actually what the Bible says, and, concerning, “wars and rumors of wars,” what a lot of people know to be so, it just isn’t. Jesus did use the phrase (cf. Matthew 24:6), but as we look at the text, we should notice a couple of significant things. The first thing to notice is that the context of the quote is not concerning the end of the world, but rather Jesus is discussing the coming destruction of Jerusalem (cf. Matthew 24:1-2). What Jesus was addressing was the politics of a particular region. Hence, the admonition from Jesus, in the same setting, advising His followers in Judea to flee the country when the signs He gave came to pass (cf. Matthew 24:16). Relatedly, a point to make about the usefulness of “wars and rumors of wars,” as a sign of anything, is that it will only have value in a specific region or locale. World-wide, as a sign, it is about as useful as noting that the sun came up in the morning. Every year there is fighting and war going on somewhere in the world. This has been going on for a long, long time; nor should we imagine that the wars of today are somehow more significant than the wars of yesteryear. This brings us to the second thing we should note about the phrase, as Jesus uses it: namely, Jesus actually told His apostles that wars and rumors of wars was not a sign of much significance. Specifically, He said, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet (Matthew 24:6; ESV).” Again, the “end” in question was the end of Jerusalem and the Temple in Jerusalem, but even in that limited regard, Jesus said that such a sign was no cause for panic. If it was not cause for alarm in the first century, it remains no cause for alarm yet today, at least when it comes to trying to interpret the significance of unfolding historical events. Jesus said, regarding His ultimate judgment upon the world, “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, (Matthew 24:36a)” and then, “Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming (Matthew 24:42).” Some few years later, writing to the Thessalonians, the apostle Paul echoed the words of Christ, as recorded in Matthew. He said, concerning the return of Christ, “Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2; ESV)” Paul goes on to say, “But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. (1 Thessalonians 5:4-8; ESV) Paul likens the Christian life to that of guard duty. The guard cannot be found asleep, he cannot be drunk, or engaged in other such behaviors. He needs to be alert at all times, serious and focused, and engaged in the duties of his commission. So too with the saints of God. We must eschew those things that would distract us, remaining alert and spiritually ready at all times to carry out our duties. We must be dressed for action, as Paul states, with salvation that comes through Christ, and with faith, love and hope. That was almost 2000 years ago, and Paul wanted the Christians of that day and age to be alert, always prepared for Christ’s return. Men who today search for signs of His return are missing the point. Christians in every place and at all times are to live always ready, unconcerned about signs, knowing that whether it be today or tomorrow – it makes no difference regarding what is expected of us.

The Belpre golf team won its fifth match in six tries and completed its Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division championship with a 29-1 overall record following an 8-stroke victory over the field Tuesday at Meigs Golf Course. The Golden Eagles — who had already clinched the TVC Hocking title outright after the fifth of six matches — posted four of the top 10 individual scores en route to a winning mark of 165. Southern — which entered the day one loss behind Federal Hocking for second place in the seasonal standings — ended up tying the Lancers in the 4-man scoring, which led to a tiebreaker to break the matching rounds of 173. Aaron Vance of SHS fired a 51, while Andrew Airhart carded a 57 for Federal Hocking — giving the Purple and Gold the nod for the runner-up spot. That victory allowed Southern and FHHS to finish the season standings with a share of second place with identical 21-9 overall records. Waterford (13-17) placed fourth with a 174, while Trimble (3-27) was fifth with a 222. Eastern (3-27) had only three competitors and did not record a team score, therefore placing the Eagles sixth. Mitchell Roush won medalist honors with a 2-over par round of 36. Conner Copeland of BHS was the overall runner-up with a 37. Ryan Laudermilt paced Southern with a 40, followed by Tanner Lisle and Jacob Milliron with respective efforts of 41 and 42. David Shaver completed the team score with a 50, while Lance Stewart also added a 55 for the Tornadoes. Ethan Short led EHS with a 38, followed by Jacob Spencer with a 48 and Colton McDaniel with a 51. Brett Colyer led Waterford with a 41, while Zach North and Gage Schoonover both paced Trimble with identical efforts of 52. Below is the list of individual scores from each participating team.

(AP) — LeBron James now stands alone in All-NBA recognition history, getting there unanimously. James was revealed Wednesday as an All-NBA player for a record 16th time, breaking the mark he shared with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan. He was a firstteam pick on all 100 ballots, joining Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo as the only unanimous first-team selections this season. Joining them on the first team: Houston guard James Harden, Lakers forward Anthony Davis and Dallas guard Luka Doncic, who got the nod in just his second season in the NBA — becoming the first player to get there in either his first or second season since Duncan did for San Antonio. Duncan was first-team in each of his first eight NBA seasons, starting in 1997-98 and going through 2004-05. The 21-year-old Doncic is the sixth player to make All-NBA at that age or younger, joining Kevin Durant, James, Duncan, Rick Barry and Max Zaslofsky. James is a first-team pick for the 13th time in his career, extending his record there. Bryant and Karl Malone were 11-time first-teamers. Antetokounmpo, the reigning MVP and the frontrunner to win the award again this season, was picked unanimously for the second consecutive year. Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, Denver center Nikola Jokic, Portland guard Damian Lillard, Oklahoma City guard Chris Paul and Toronto forward Pascal Siakam were on the second team. The third-team picks were Boston forward Jayson Tatum, Miami forward Jimmy Butler, Utah center Rudy Gobert, Philadelphia guard Ben Simmons and Houston guard Russell Westbrook. Paul and Westbrook are now nine-time All-NBA players, Harden a six-time choice, Lil- lard is a five-timer and Antetokounmpo, Leonard and Davis are four-time selections. Butler and Gobert are three-time selections, Jokic a two-time choice and Siakam, Tatum and Simmons all joined Doncic as being on the team for the first time. Harden and Doncic appeared on all 100 ballots — though only James and Antetokounmpo were unanimous as first-team choices on every ballot. Davis and Jokic were on 99 ballots, and Leonard appeared on 98. The voting was conducted based on regular-season games played through March 11, and voters had to choose two guards, two forwards and one center for each team. Milwaukee forward Khris Middleton did not make All-NBA even though he appeared on more ballots (60) than Simmons (43) and Westbrook (38); they made the team as guards. Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid got 39 votes and did not make the team either, after finishing fourth among centers.

That is not to say, we do not stumble and say or do something we should not have, or that we do everything that we should do. But it IS to say that we are not content with these mess-ups. We are not passive about flaws in our character. We are not quick to judge others and quick to excuse ourselves. On the contrary, we hold ourselves to the pattern of the Bible, God’s Word, and actively pursue the qualities that are fitting the Child of God since we know that the Child of God is also the emissary of His Kingdom, called to reflect His values, His character, His holiness and His love and mercy. So how are you doing with this? Have you fallen asleep to Him and His call to be awakened to a higher reality than this world alone offers you? Have you been deaf to His voice, stone-hearted toward the people He has placed in your life to love? Have you “fallen out of love” with God and found yourself caught up in the passions and pursuits (and craziness) of the world around us? If so, then “awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you” (Ephesians 5:14 ESV). You will find, if you will trust Him, that as you answer His call to salvation, His call to follow Him, and His call to serve others, that the cup of life He offers you is overflowing with joy and peace and victory.

It reads, “Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you. Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit” (ESV). If you’ve been with me for the past month, you know Paul’s request to Philemon is that he would forgive his slave, Onesimus. In verses 1 through 7, we see the work before forgiveness. In verses 8 through 17, we see the call to forgiveness. In verses 18 through 20, we see the cost of forgiveness. And now, we see the power for forgiveness. It’s easy to bypass these verses as if they hold no significance. After all, this is the end of Paul’s letter, and most of it consists of personal greetings. But God’s Word speaks to us— even the passages we view TUPPERS PLAINS — The TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) group met recently for their weekly meeting. The TOPS and KOPS pledges were repeated by all members. With hand over heart the Pledge to the Flag was recited. Leader Judy Morgan called the meeting to order.

By now, you’re probably asking, “How am I supposed to do this?” Forgiveness can be a daunting task. Obedience is difficult. Fervent prayer takes time. And maintaining proper fellowship among brothers and sisters in Christ seems impossible. Surely Philemon feels the same way. But Paul isn’t done. In the final verse of his letter, he writes, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit” (v. 25 ESV). The grace of God empowers us to forgive. It is this grace which strengthens our resolve to obey. It is this grace which stirs the heart in prayer. And it is this grace which keeps us together. My prayer, as I bring this Philemon series to a close, is that we would deeply consider who we might need to forgive. God doesn’t call us to forgive without giving us the power. And it’s called His grace. is 58. Actor Holly Robinson Peete is 56. Rhythmand-blues singer Ricky Bell (Bell Biv Devoe and New Edition) is 53. Actor Aisha Tyler is 50.
