A total of six events held in Gallia, Meigs and Mason counties collected nearly two ton of non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries in the three counties. Events were held at Meigs, Southern, Eastern, Wahama, Point Pleasant and Gallia Academy high schools, featuring two local teams in each game. The food drive was turned into a competition to see which of the opposing schools could bring in the most food items, with the bank then making a donation to the winning school’s booster program. “Gallia Academy knocked it out of the park,” said Farmers Bank Marketing Manager Dru Reed. He explained that when bank representatives arrived for the evening’s event there was already a table full of food items and the stack of food kept growing as the evening went on. The goal was to have a fun environment for the kids and raise as much food and donations for the local food pantries as possible, said Reed.

Kettering police said all four were taken to hospitals, and that one man transported was considered the suspect. Police spokesman John Jung said initial indications were that the wounds weren’t lifethreatening. But, he said he hadn’t received updates from the hospitals. Jung said all four had wounds consistent with a knife. He said the suspect in custody is a 46-year-old man who had knife wounds. He said later the suspect would be held on felonious assault counts. Also injured were children ages 8 and 11, and a 72-yearold man. Police arrived at the home around 4 a.m. In an audio recording of the 911 call released Thursday, a man tells the dispatcher, “My son cut both of the kids.” He said the man who did the stabbing had gone into the base- ment at the home. “Please hurry,” the man said. The dispatcher kept the man on the line until police arrived. Jung said police are investigating what led to the stabbings. It wasn’t clear how many people were in the home at the time of the stabbings. “Inside the residence, it’s an extensive crime scene,” Jung said. “It’s more than one room.” Jung said violence was out of the ordinary in the suburban city of some 56,000 people south of Dayton, in southwest Ohio. “This isn’t like a normal thing for us to have an incident like this,” Jung said. “This is a violent scene.” TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Friday, Feb. 3, the 34th day of 2017.

We want to form a stronger alliance with the church community and do more meaningful job of helping local churches spread their message to people who are looking for answers and inspiration. We need your help to do this. We will publish an inspirational full color magazine that we have entitled Faith and Family. This publication, with your help, will list all our churches and carry a message of hope. As your local newspaper we want to use our resources to help get your message to those in need. The magazine will carry profiles of local churches and testimonials from local readers who have experienced a change in life as the result of their faith and beliefs. These stories can be a powerful influence in raising the consonances of the reader looking for answers and in need of a church to help heal. This publication will also increase the strength and unity among the local church community.

The terror of standing before the Judge will be an unparalleled experience. Searching through the Lamb’s Book of Life, their names will not be found. It is in Matthew 7:21-23 that the words of Christ capture the intensity of that woeful moment, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven. / Many will say in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in they name have cast out devils?

Now, your eternal destination is set. There is no more recourse. This judgment is just.” And, sensing their descent to the Pit, they begin to wail, “JUST GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE! OH, PLEASE!

Because we act according to our mistaken beliefs, we repeatedly disqualify ourselves from the benefits of grace, suffering further brokenness in our lives as a result. The fact is, while some have bought into the lie that they are so unlovable that even God only looks upon them in disgust, the grace and love of God are so incalculably great that there is no one so riddled by the disease of sin and selfishness that God does not have the ability to deliver him or fails to deliver him once his heart yields to His love. Nor is any man or woman so “good” in of himself that he has access to God on his own merit – whether we estimate “merit” based on physical factors such as our faulty definitions of beauty, strength, and skill; or intellectual abilities in physics, mathematics, literature, or the arts.

Proceeds from the St.Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade go directly towards the Artisan Market. The donations will help the market with their daily expenses as well as to help them add more entertainment possibilities to the festival. The entry fee is $15 and because the market is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization the fees are tax deductible and are considered donations. “If a group wants to set up a booth in the park for the festival they don’t have to pay again for being in the parade, and vice versa, unless they would just like to donate more and of course donations are always welcome,” Kerr said. Forms are available at the Artisan Market, the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce and visitor’s center. Forms may also be emailed to an individual or business if one contacts Kelsey Kerr or Valerie Thomas. “A school group or club are free to set up in the park but any donations are welcome,” Kerr added. There are different sponsorship levels that will help the Artisan Shop with its daily expenses as well as to help fund more entertaining opportunities for the festival or parade. “Any vendors or artisans are more than welcome.

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — Andrew Roach, three forfeits and an otherwise long night on the road. That just about is sums it up for the Big Blacks. The Point Pleasant wrestling team posted a 4-10 overall record while dropping 54-24 decision to Class AAA host Parkersburg on Wednesday night during a dual match in Wood County. Roach, a senior, landed the Big Blacks only head-to-head victory in nine actual match- es after earning a pinfall victory over Crockett Wade at 195 pounds. Caleb Lane (120), Grant Safford (182) and Juan Marquez (220) also earned forfeit wins in their respective weight classes. The Big Reds also had a pair of forfeit wins at 132 pounds and again at 145 pounds. Justin Cornell (106) and George Smith (113) suffered decisions losses to Garrett Donahue and Hunter Ackerman, respectively. Greg Carr (126), Jacob Bryant (138), Nazar Abbas (152), Colten Carr (160), Tyler Clendenin (170) and Brian Gillispie (285) were all defeated by pinfall in their head-to-head bouts with PHS. Point Pleasant is currently ranked fifth in the latest (Feb. 2) Class AA Coaches Poll, while Parkersburg is the second ranked squad in Class AAA. The Big Blacks travel to Oak Glen on Friday and will host their final home match of the season on Thursday, Feb. 9, in a dual match against Ripley.

Lady Flyers sweep Hannan By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com IRONTON, Ohio — While winter is a time for single-digit temperatures, it is not a good time for single-digit points. Unfortunately for the Hannan Lady Wildcats, they never reached double digits in any of the four quarters on Wednesday — and lost at Ironton St. Joseph 59-29 in a girls basketball tilt. The Flyers flew out to a 17-5 first-quarter cushion, then extended their advantage to 27-12 at halftime. St. Joseph kept pulling away in the third period, winning that frame 19-8 to make it 46-20 following three. Hannan had nine points in the final stanza, but the Flyers finished with 13 for the 30-point victory. With the loss, the Lady Wildcats fell to 2-13 — and fell victim to a season sweep by St. Joseph. Hannan also lost to the Female Flyers, 47-28, back on Dec. 7. Ironton St. Joseph evened its record to 10-10. The Flyers doubled up the Wildcats in total field goals 24-12, and made 10 free throws out of 14 attempts. Julie Frazier — on three field goals and 4-of4 free throws — led the Lady Wildcats with 10 points. She scored all 10 of her markers in the second half. Madison Staggs scored four of the team’s five first-period points, and ended up with six. Bailey Tolliver tallied Hannan’s only three-point goal, and added a two-pointer for five points. Cassidy Duffer, Lindsey Holley, Pam Oches and Maggie Waugh each had one field goal. Morgan Turner, on five field goals including the club’s only three, led the Female Flyers with 13 points. Megan Riley and Grace Miller, on four field goals and four made free throws, tossed in a dozen. Ashlee Blankenship, on three second-stanza buckets, chipped in six points.

In that final stanza, the Lady Rebels carried in a 38-31 advantage — thanks to an Erin Evans three-ball to beat the buzzer. But after Evans’ twopoint basket just 45 seconds in made it 40-33, South Gallia’s only other points prior to Howell’s foul shot were a bucket by Christine Griffith at the 1:46 mark —and a free throw by Aaliyah Howell which made it 43-42. Wellston, which led 2-0 and 4-2 before the Rebels gained the lead, finally tied the game for the second time at 42-42 — on a Mullins triple with a minute-and-a-half left in regulation. Doles then scored to give Wellston the lead again (44-43), but the Rebels got bailed out by the Rockets — when Mya Bouska fouled Amaya Howell with 3.8 seconds left. Howell, shooting the double-bonus freebies, made the first but missed the second — thus resulting in the extra session. Howell hit four treys and a pair of deuces en route to a team-high 17 points, including three threes and 11 total points as part of the fast 19-6 start. Aaliyah Howell had five field goals and 2-of-4 free throws towards 12 points, including seven straight points in the second quarter. Griffith, on four buckets and a first-quarter foul shot, netted nine points — as Olivia Hornsby with a two and Evans with a three scored the final five points of the Lady Rebels’ early run. However, South Gallia endured an epic scoring drought — spanning 10 minutes and 10 seconds, as Bouska’s three-point play made it 19-14. Aaliyah Howell then scored her seven consecutive counters, as Griffith got the other basket to make it 28-15 with 20 seconds left in the half. “We’ll learn a lot from this game I believe,” said Small. “But tonight was just youth and inexperience taking over.” Wellston, which outscored South Gallia 27-16 in the second 16 minutes, was paced by Doles with a game-high 19 points. She amounted six total field goals including three trifectas, and also made a crucial 4-of-5 free throws. Mullins — with all 13 of her points in the second half and overtime — had two threes, a two and 5-of-7 foul shots. Bouska added eight See REBELS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Ohio St., Michigan sign top classes in Big Ten By Eric Olson Associated Press No surprise, Ohio State and Michigan signed the top two recruiting classes in the Big Ten on Wednesday. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer put together a 21-man class that includes five players who received five-star ratings from recruiting analysts and 14 who are four-stars. “This could go down as one of the great classes,” Meyer said. “We’re pretty fired up about this class.” Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh brought in 28 players, including two five-stars and 18 four-stars, in a class widely regarded as the finest assembled in program history. Ohio State’s class was ranked No. 2 nationally behind Alabama, according to 247sports.com. Michigan was fifth, behind Georgia and Southern California. Three of the nation’s top 11 players in the 247sports.com rankings ended up at Ohio State. Cornerback Jeffrey Okudah of South Grand Prairie, Texas, is No. 7, defensive end Chase Young of Hyattsville, Maryland, is No. 8 and outside linebacker Baron Browning of Kennedale, Texas is No. 11. Wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones, ranked No. 12, is Michigan’s top recruit. Penn State, coming off its Rose Bowl appearance, brought in a 21-man class ranked fourth in the Big Ten and 15th in the nation. Other things to know: STRONGEST CLASS: Ohio State already has nine of its 21 recruits on campus as early enrollees. Okudah is in line for a starting job this fall with the loss of two starting corners and All-America safety Malik Hooker. Wyatt Davis, a lineman out of Bellflower, California, is the top-rated offensive player in the class. BEST IN THE WEST: Nebraska coach Mike Riley closed strongly in January and ended up with the top class in the Big Ten West and the fifth-ranked class in the conference. Riley and receivers coach Keith Williams scored a big victory when four-star wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey out of Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas decommitted from Ohio State and picked the Huskers. He’s among five four-stars in the Rebels class. FEAR THE TURTLE: Maryland coach DJ Durkin’s first full recruiting class, No. 18 nationally, is the Terrapins’ highest ranked since Ralph Friedgen’s 2004 class was No. 17. Durkin has met the challenge of neighborhood rival Penn State head-on. “Maryland’s class is the biggest story in the Big Ten. And it’s a big story nationally,” Big Ten Network analyst Gerry DiNardo said. FLORIDA HOOSIERS: Indiana linebacker Thomas Allen, son of new coach Tom Allen and an early enrollee, gets a lot of credit for securing a couple of the Hoosiers’ top recruits. DB Juwan Burgess, who backed out of a pledge to Southern California last week, and WR Whop Philyor are following Allen to Bloomington from Plant High in Tampa, Florida. Plant coach Robert Weiner told the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette that Thomas Allen was a great salesman for the Hoosiers, who signed eight players from the Sunshine State. FIRST-YEAR COACHES: Minnesota’s P.J. Fleck secured verbal commitments from nine players his first weekend on the job and signed a 25-man class, all three-stars. Among the players brought in by Purdue’s Jeff Brohm was QB Griffin Alstott of St. Petersburg, Florida, the son of Boilermakers all-time leading rusher Mike Alstott. Second-year Illinois coach Lovie Smith was proud of his first class, landing 10 in-state players in his 23-man class, the most from the Land of Lincoln since 2008. For fans who have watched some of the best homegrown talent migrate to other Big Ten schools, that is a victory in itself. MAKING A SPLASH: Four-star receiver Oliver Martin of Iowa City needed a towel after he pledged to Michigan’s Harbaugh and passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton during his official campus visit last weekend. The three stood on the ledge of the swimming pool at the Canham Natatorium and, with video camera rolling, all of them jumped in when Martin announced he would go to Michigan. The stunt wasn’t totally out of the blue. Martin also is on his high school’s swim team.

Nearly everyone agrees with Meyer. The consensus ranking of OSU’s recruiting class is that it is second nationally behind Alabama. Ohio State has become both a training ground for future NFL players and a destination for many of the country’s top high school recruits. Six Ohio State undergraduate players declared for the NFL draft this season a year after nine undergrads left early, more than any other major college program has produced in the last two years. The biggest hits have come in the defensive backfield, where OSU lost Eli Apple, Vonn Bell and Tyvis Bell last year and again this year, when Malik Hooker, Gareon Conley and Marshon Lattimore left eligibility on the table when they turned pro. But that is an area where OSU might have one of its biggest infusions of talent coming in this year’s recruiting class. Cornerback Jeffrey Odukah, of Grand Prairie, Tex., was rated the No. 1 cornerback recruit in the country. Shaun Wade, of Jacksonville, Fla., Trinity Christian, was ranked No. 2. Kendall Sheffield, of Blinn Junior College, was ranked the No. 1 junior college cornerback this year. Cornerback Marcus Williamson (IMG Academy) was ranked the No. 27 cornerback nationally and Isaiah Pryor (IMG Academy) was rated the No. 7 safety recruit nationally. “I guess we are now of the mindset that it (players leaving early) will happen. Prepare for it to happen. Recruit guys that are ready-made as much as you can,” Meyer said. Having players leave early, especially when some of those decisions are surprises, forces Ohio State to adjust. “Imagine what this team would have looked like last year with those nine guys back. But that’s the way it is,” Meyer said. But that turnover also plays a role in attracting elite replacements. Nine of OSU’s 21 recruits graduated from high school early and enrolled in January. Several of them talked on Wednesday about how the chance to get to the NFL quickly played a role in their decision. “It’s DBU (Defensive Backs University),” Pryor said. “That went into the decision a lot.” Ohio State’s class has only seven players from Ohio, which Meyer said was lower than he would like to have most years. But it also included three of the top six players in Texas, three from Florida high schools, two from Las Vegas and one from California. Wade said Ohio winters were no barrier to him or his teammates from warm weather states. And he dropped another mention of the NFL when he explained why they felt that way. “The cold weather had nothing to do with it. If want to play in the league (the NFL) you have to play in cold weather. You might as well get used to it,” he said. Being in such a highlyrated class has given the newest Buckeyes an introduction into the level of expectations at OSU every season. Williamson said, “I know there’s a lot of hype surrounding this class but we’re all starting the bottom. Hopefully when the time comes, we’ll be one of those classes that wins a championship.” Early signees could help WVU shore up defense MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia has gone the junior college route again to shore up a defense that lost most of its starters. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen announced the signing of seven defensive backs among his 21 recruits Wednesday. Ten of those had signed early and are already enrolled in school to get a jump on next season. They include junior college defensive linemen Jalen Harvey and Ezekiel Rose, linebacker Quondarius Qualls and cornerback Hakeem Bailey. Harvey and Qualls were teammates at Northwest Mississippi Community College. Holgorsen, who must replace quarterback Skyler Howard, did not sign any quarterbacks on Wednesday but said it’s possible another could be added in the coming months. Holgorsen has said he expects Florida transfer Will Grier, suspended by the NCAA in October 2015 for one year for testing positive to performance enhancing drugs, to be eligible for the start of the 2017 season. Chris Chugunov is the only other quarterback on the roster with playing experience. Backup William Crest announced his intention to transfer in January. Best in class: Kelby Wickline, ol, Jones County (Miss.) JC, son of West Virginia assistant coach Joe Wickline. Best of the rest: DB Derek Pitts, South Charleston (W.Va.) HS; WR David Sills, a former Mountaineer backup who spent last season playing quarterback at California’s El Camino College. Late addition: Isaiah Hardy, ol, 6-7, 340, Lackawanna (Pa.) CC One that got away: Four-star WR Danny Davis of Springfield (OH) HS signed with Wisconsin. How they’ll fit in: In the high-scoring Big 12, West Virginia has gone hard after junior college transfers to get immediate help, especially on defense. The Mountaineers must replace the entire defensive line, a pair of starting linebackers and most of the secondary. Some of the early signees, including Harvey, Rose, Qualls and Bailey, could see significant playing time in 2017. “Adding guys who physically are ahead of the curve, which is what junior colleges are about, and getting them at midterm allows you to get that team ready a little bit quicker,” Holgorsen said.

The Longhorns signed four-star Austin quarterback Sam Ehlinger but were spurned by Austin OT Stephan Zable (UCLA) and Houston DT K’Lavon Chaisson (LSU). While 247Sports ranked Texas as the league’s second-best class, it was still outside the top 25 nationally. Herman said the goal was to “make sure that we were bringing in quality young men that we had relationships with that we knew could fit our culture, our way of doing things. … We are really, really excited about where they fit in terms of the needs that we saw on this roster.” NOT A HIGH FIVE: None of the Big 12’s 10 teams, not even Oklahoma, had a five-star signee. LATE PUSH: When Matt Rhule became Baylor’s coach two months ago, there was only one recruit committed to the Bears. Despite the lingering cloud from a sexual assault scandal, Rhule and the completely new Baylor staff were able to sign 27 players (14 on defense and 13 on defense). Most of the players were from Texas, but there were also three signees from New Jersey — the area Rhule recruited heavily in his previous job at Temple. HANDING THE REINS: West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen has been his own playcaller on offense. He is handing those duties over to offensive coordinator Jake Spavital, who returned to WVU last month. The Mountaineers also have to find someone else to run the offense on the field after the graduation of Skyler Howard. They didn’t sign any quarterbacks Wednesday, but Holgorsen said it’s possible another could be added in the coming months. SUNKEN SUNFLOWERS: Kansas State and Kansas are near the bottom of the Big 12 rankings. Still, Jayhawks coach David Beaty may have found his quarterback of the future, along with a running back who was his teammate at a Mississippi junior college (former Washington State quarterback Peyton Bender and running back Octavius Matthews). �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Friday, February 3, 2017 Daily Sentinel Goodell dodges on Raiders, parries on Pats HOUSTON (AP) — Nothing produces awkward NFL moments quite like watching the commissioner parry all those thorny issues involving the league’s oldest and newest troublemakers — the Raiders and Patriots. Reporters spent time poking Roger Goodell about “Deflategate,” the Raiders’ now-threatened move to Las Vegas, and other delicate topics at the commissioner’s lessformal, less-crowded and, frankly, less-newsy preSuper Bowl news conference, held on a Wednesday this year instead of the traditional Friday afternoon slot. Going sans necktie and speaking in a room about half the size as his usual Super Bowl venue, Goodell insisted nothing was off-kilter between the league and either team. He said “there’s a great deal more work to be done” before the Raiders can move to Las Vegas, a reality reinforced after both casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and a backup financier, Gold- man Sachs, pulled out of the stadium deal this week. The league is supposed to decide on the Las Vegas move in March. “But if any key aspect is changed, the process could be slowed down,” Eric Grubman, the league’s executive vice president of business ventures, told The Associated Press. Goodell said it was unlikely a casino owner could own a stake in a stadium, which would seem to disqualify Adelson anyway. About the more delicate question of whether it’s good business for the league, which has always disdained gambling, to stick a franchise in the gambling capital of America, the commissioner said the league is in touch with the reality that gambling “exists throughout our world.” “We’ve always said there’s a fine line between team sports gambling and the NFL,” Goodell said. “We want to protect the integrity of our game and that’s something we’ll always do.” The commissioner was only four days away from potentially handing the Lombardi Trophy to Patriots owner Robert Kraft . It would be the most awkward commissioner-owner handoff since 1981, when Pete Rozelle presented Raiders owner Al Davis with the trophy while Davis was suing the league over Rozelle’s attempt to block the team’s move from Oakland to Los Angeles. Fittingly, Goodell took five questions about the Patriots, almost all of them designed to put him on the defensive. The core of it: “Deflategate,” and the four-game suspension he levied against Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to start the season. Among the highlights: Why didn’t Goodell attend a Patriots playoff game, while heading to Atlanta twice? Has he spoken with Brady? How is he getting along with Kraft? “We have a disagree- ment about what occurred,” Goodell said. “We have been very transparent about what we think the violation was. We went through a lengthy process. We disagree about that. … I’m not afraid of disagreement. And I don’t think disagreement leads to distrust or hatred.” Kraft was among the very few owners who attended the news conference, but he ducked out quickly afterward without taking questions. Goodell also faced a number of questions on the Chargers’ recent move from San Diego to Los Angeles: “Relocations are painful,” he said. Of this week’s news reports that San Diego could end up as a home for the Raiders if Las Vegas falls through, Goodell cited a “history of markets that get deals done after a team leaves. It’s a painful way to do it.” Among those markets are Cleveland, St. Louis, Los Angeles and this year’s Super Bowl host, Houston. On other topics: —Goodell said no timeline had been set on an investigation into alleged domestic abuse by Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. He said there’s an active investigation into former Giants kicker Josh Brown and no decision has been made about his status. —About loosening restrictions on marijuana use, Goodell essentially ignored the question and said he wants to include that topic in negotiations with the players’ union. —The commissioner defended widely derided and often non-competitive weekly games on Thursday nights and said they’d remain part of the schedule. —He fielded no questions about concussions or protecting quarterbacks, even though both remained hot topics all season. —In the wake of a TV ratings decline, the league will keep looking into ways to decrease the amount of dead time dur- Help Wanted General Automotive Notices Land (Acreage) Miscellaneous Best Deal New & Used NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

Goodell also announced the NFL would return to Mexico City next year for a game pitting — who else? — the Raiders and the Patriots. If the commissioner meets up with Kraft there — or on Sunday, for that matter — he insists everything will be just fine. “I would tell you it’s not awkward at all for me,” Goodell said. “We have a job to do. We do our job. We understand fans are loyal and passionate for their team and they object and don’t like the outcome.
