Online condolences may be sent to www. mccoymoore.com Ohio Valley Publishing Aid for small businesses, renters planned COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An aid package is coming soon for small businesses and people struggling to pay rent during the coronavirus pandemic, according to Ohio’s GOP Senate finance chairman. Lawmakers and Gov. Mike DeWine are figuring out the best way to provide the money — from federal pandemic relief funds — as quickly as possible, Senator Matt Dolan, a Republican from Chagrin Falls in northeastern Ohio, said Wednesday. The governor and lawmakers are jointly working on a plan that would also provide assistance for companies experienc- ing difficulty making mortgage payments. Given the importance of the issue, moving the money through the state Controlling Board is one option, said Dan Tierney, a DeWine spokesman. The bipartisan panel approves larger state spending measures. DeWine first announced the aid package Tuesday while also saying the ban on alcohol sales after 10 p.m. is being reviewed. The ban, which is meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus by limiting late-night socializing, is unpopular with bars and restaurants that are already hurting from reduced business. The aid comes as unemployment claims have ticked upward in recent days after weeks of declines from their record highs at the start of the pandemic. The state said Thursday that first-time claims rose for the second time in two weeks, jumping to 17,944 for the week ending Sept. 26, a 3% increase from the previous week. Continuing claims for unemployment, considered a more reliable indicator of the economy, fell last week after rising the week before, the state said. “With the unfortunate unemployment numbers still too high, there are people struggling to pay their rent and there are landlords struggling to pay their mortgage,” Dolan said. “So we’re trying to provide some temporary financial assistance until we can get through this crisis.” Both initial claims for unemployment and continuing claims rose slightly in the last week as the economic impact of the pandemic continues, Ohio’s human services agency reported Sept. 24. DeWine should make coronavirus relief funds available as soon as possible, said Rep. David Leland, a Columbus Democrat who proposed $270 million in immediate rent relief in August.

The Southern golf team notched its fifth consecutive district berth as a team, while Eastern junior Ethan Short also advanced to districts following the completion of the Division III Southeast sectional boys golf championship held Wednesday at Franklin Valley Golf Course in the Apple City. The Tornadoes carded four of the top 20 individual rounds and ended up as the district runner-up with a final tally of 377, finishing 22 shots off the pace set by secBryan Walters | OVP Sports tional champion Belpre (355).

Black Knights blast Golden Eagles, 10-3 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BELPRE, Ohio — The precision paid off for the Black Knights. The Point Pleasant boys soccer team completed a season-high 86 percent of its passes and produced a season-best goal output following a 10-3 victory over host Belpre on Tuesday in a nonconference friendly in Washington County. The Black Knights (6-3-3) reeled off six consecutive goals in the first half — including four in the opening eight minutes — while taking a sizable 6-1 advantage into the intermission. The Golden Eagles pulled to within 6-2 in the 60th minute, but the guests answered with four straight scores to build their largest lead of the night at 10-2 with four minutes remaining. Connor Van Fossen — who scored Belpre’s first goal in the 39th minute — tacked on another score in the 79th minute to wrap up the 7-goal outcome. The Red and Black converted 374 of its 435 pass attempts in the contest, with the previous season high standing at 290. The end result was seven different players scoring goals while improving to 4-2-1 overall in road games this fall. Braxton Watkins-Lovejoy gave PPHS a quick 2-goal lead after respective scores from six and 12 yards away in the third and fourth minutes. Caden Barger and Ian Wood also assisted Watkins-Lovejoy on the two goals. Adam Veroski made it a 3-goal lead in the seventh minute after tracking down a loose ball 25 yards out, then taking a few touches before successfully firing away from 10 yards out. Colton Young knocked in a rebound from point-blank range in the eighth minute, with Cael McCutcheon picking up an assist on the score. McCutcheon then made it a 5-goal lead in the 14th minute after burying a pass from Wesley Lee. Pacey Frum gave Point Pleasant a 6-0 cushion in the 35th minute after winning a ball from 18 yards out, then took a touch and successfully fired to the lower left corner. BHS reeled off consecutive goals over the next 25 minutes, but Veroski tracked down a long ball on the ensuing kickoff and needed only seven seconds to counter Belpre’s second goal with his second score — all while increasing the lead back out to 7-2. Lee scored in the 69th minute on an assist from Connor Fields, with Lee fielding a crossing pass See KNIGHTS | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Oct. 2 Football Southern at Eastern, 7 p.m. Trimble at South Gallia, 7 p.m. Federal Hocking at Hannan, 7 p.m. Gallia Academy at Portsmouth, 7 p.m. Meigs at Alexander, 7 p.m. River Valley at Bridgeport, 7 p.m. Point Pleasant at Bluefield, 7:30 Wahama at Hundred, 7:30 Saturday, Oct. 3 College Football Baylor at West Virginia, noon Volleyball Point Pleasant at George Washington, 11 a.m. Soccer Sissonville at Point Pleasant girls, 11 a.m. Sissonville at Point Pleasant boys, 5:30 Gallia Academy boys at Circleville, 4 p.m. Cross Country Southern at Waterford, 10 a.m. Eastern at Pickerington North, 10 a.m. Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama sophomore Trey Ohlinger (77) jars the ball loose during a first quarter tackle against Gilmer County during a Sept. 18 football contest at Bachtel Stadium in Mason, W.Va. Week 6 football previews By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com Another full slate of games. For the second time in as many weeks this season, all nine football teams in the Ohio Valley Publishing area are set to suit up Friday night. The infamous EasternSouthern rivalry renews itself on a rare Friday night at East Shade River Stadium, while Hannan and South Gallia host a pair of games this weekend. Gallia Academy, River Valley, Point Pleasant, Wahama and Meigs also join Southern in appearing in road contests this Friday night. Here’s a brief look at this week’s high school gridiron matchups in the OVP area. Southern Tornadoes (1-4, 1-3 TVC Hocking) at Eastern Eagles (3-2, 3-1 TVC Hocking) The Eagles have won back-to-back decisions against Southern, giving Eastern 16 wins in their last 27 chances against the Tornadoes. Last fall, EHS won 63-6 in Racine, the Eagles’ largest win over their rivals since a 60-0 triumph in 2002. This game will be played on Friday night, instead of Saturday, for the first time in more than four decades. This is the first time since 1999 that these teams don’t meet in Week 10. Last week, the Eagles claimed a 34-7 victory at Belpre, which topped Southern by a 27-6 earlier this season. The Tornadoes got into the win column with a 32-6 triumph over South Gallia last Friday. EHS also defeated SGHS this season. Both teams fell to Trimble this fall. Waterford is the other common opponent, with SHS falling 59-6, and EHS winning 10-8.

SGHS has never scored more than 14 against the Tomcats. Last season’s 45-0 Tomcat triumph marked their fourth shut out all-time against SGHS. Trimble enters play with a 24-game TVC Hocking winning streak, as well as a 20-game regular season winning streak. The last Gallia County team to defeat Trimble was North Gallia, which won 14-7 in 1991. Last Week, the Tomcats claimed their third straight shut out to in a row, 14-0 over Waterford. With last week’s 32-6 setback at Southern, SGHS has now dropped a dozen straight decisions.

Federal Hocking enters the 2020 campaign with 18 players, the same number that the Wildcats started this season with. FHHS hasn’t played since Week 3 of the Ohio campaign, which was the week of Sept. 11. The Lancers dropped a 39-0 decision to Miller in their road contest of the year thus far. Fed Hock did put up a 50-22 win over Paden City in Week 2, but dropped 15-6 decision to visiting Bridgeport in its opener.

Meigs Marauders (2-3, 2-2 TVC Ohio) at Alexander Spartans (1-4, 1-3 TVC Ohio) The Marauders own a 30-5-1 record over AHS in all-time meetings, with four wins in a row against the Spartans. AHS ended a two-year scoreless streak against Meigs last year, but still fell 30-7 in Rocksprings. With a 32-14 setback at to Athens last Friday, Meigs has lost three straight decisions. Alexander fell 31-0 at Vinton County last Friday, the Spartans’ second shut out loss of the year. The Marauders topped VCHS 28-20 in Gallia Academy Blue Devils the season opener.

My coffee steaming in the cool, crisp air. The sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds in the background. Meanwhile, a yellow jacket seems oddly interested in what I’m doing. The morning sun shines on my face. I squint, holding down the pages of my Bible against the wind. But I love it. It reminds me of who’s really in control. Maybe you need that reminder, too. After all, this world only seems to spiral more out of control each day. More specifically, your world seems to be out of control. And it’s easy to wonder whether or not Jesus actually cares. Does He see your need? Does He understand your pain? Does He offer any comfort in spite of your suffering? He does. Let me show you. Jesus says, “‘Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for strapped around your souls. For your neck.

There is comfort to be found in Christ. And you have an invitation to find it. Will you come to Him today? Will you let Him wrap His arms around you? Allow me to close with the apostle Paul. He writes, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too” (2 Cor. 1:3-5 ESV). I pray you come and find the comfort of Christ today.

GOD’S KIDS KORNER Jesus was last (Matthew 21:33-45) Our lesson this week is another parable. You may remember a parable is a story that Jesus told to the people to teach them His lessons. The whole story is in Matthew 21: 33-45, but verses 35-39 say this, “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said. “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.” At first, this seems to be a rather sad and mean story, but when we understand what Jesus was saying, we realize the point He son. But when wanted to teach they saw the son, the people that they said, “This day. is the landowner’s Jesus said to son, let’s kill the crowd, a man him and take his owned some land. inheritance.” He planted some Then Jesus grapes on the land Ann asked the people, and then rented it Moody to some other men Contributing “What do you think the landto take care of it columnist owner will do for him while he to those men?” was away.

Help us to follow Him every day. Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church.

For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him… (Philippians3:8-9a; ESV)” One might also consider the sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. Jesus did not give Himself on the cross, for our salvation, with half-hearted halfmeasures. His death on our behalf was a full sacrifice of self in the service of God. He thus teaches us about the dedication and commitment God wants from each of us. Today, if you desire God to sanctify you completely, and keep the whole of your being blameless for the day of His return, then give yourself over completely to God so that He may save the you completely.

It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain over 2 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the early 1800’s. Decision puts valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation – zip codes determine who gets them Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List below and beat the 48 hour order deadline Who gets the U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Only U.S. residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-865-9521 NCS1112 “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. T hat’s because a decision by Federated Mint to put valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, back in circulation means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication. “These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are valuable silver, scarce, highly collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s which is why U.S. residents will be claiming as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with over 2 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins the dates were never searched and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Withrow. “But don’t thank the Government. As Executive Advisor to Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to put valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation – everyone’s asking me, how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs over 2 pounds and is known to contain at least one silver Walking Liberty coin and just that one coin alone could be worth $15 - $325 in collector value. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $249 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Withrow. The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll Free Hotline before the 48 hour deadline ends. This is very important. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $349 for residents who miss the 48 hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48 hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $249 as long as they call the National Toll Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with over 2 pounds of valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins they’re going to go quick,” said Withrow. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded in part with highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including the stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar, valuable President Eisenhower Silver Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollar, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, the scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coin and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels. “With all these valuable coins up for grabs we’re doing all we can to answer all the calls,” said Withrow. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. Q OH RESIDENTS: IF YOU FIND YOUR ZIP CODE BELOW.

George and several of his brothers fought in the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774, where they first came to see and fall in love with this area along the Ohio River.” After the war, several of the brothers chose land grants along the Ohio River where they settled in what would later come to be Mason County, West Virginia, as well as Meigs and Gallia counties in Ohio. It was here that the young patriots brought their families to carve out homes in the wilderness. In 1798, George planted his family in what would become Mason County. In 1807, he took his family and crossed the Ohio River into what would later become Meigs County, establishing himself as one of the first residents of the area and is listed as one of the first jurists in early documents. He is buried in Weldon Cemetery in Racine. “Why bring up my own personal history? It is just to point out that we all have deep roots. We are children of many generations of experiences that have influenced our lives, traditions, and sometimes choices. My family was planted in this area. My traditions and culture have been framed by it.

In 1932, our local Return Jonathan Meigs chapter, NSDAR, participated in the state bicentennial celebration commemorating the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington by erecting a state DAR historical marker at the campsite and dramatizing a pageant of Washington’s landing on Ohio and Meigs county soil. State DAR officials were present to present the marker, and the Return Jonathan Meigs chapter was designated as its caretaker. For the past 88 years, the Return Jonathan Meigs chapter has cleaned the area around the marker each year and preserved the site. This year marks the 250th anniversary of George Washington’s visit to Meigs County and overnight stay. The chapter plans a short commemoration of the event on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, at the DAR Historical Marker site in Long Bottom, Ohio, at 3 p.m. More details will be released soon.

His October expedition by canoe was to identify suitable land along the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to the Kanawha River. His party included Pennsylvania surveyor William Crawford, fellow French and Indian War veteran Dr. James Craik, as well as several servants and Indian guides. Washington kept a detailed journal and made a map of his journey. Because of his journal, we know of his experiences in the wild western territory, including his landing at the location of current Long Bottom in Meigs County. It was at this overnight stay that Washington ran into the hunting party of Seneca Chief Kiashuta of the Iroquois nation. Kiashuta had become acquainted with the young 21-yearold George Washington back in 1753 when Washington had volunteered on a militia mission deep into the Ohio wilderness.

In the conservation committee report, member Lynne Brinker brought in her chrysalis/ butterfly garden and spoke of her work with monarch butterflies. During the meeting, those present were actually able to witness a butterfly that had emerged from pupal stage. The new butterfly was named DARla for her timely emergence at the chapter meeting. Member Lynne Brinker reported on her work in creating and registering a Monarch Waystation. Dedicated to create, conserve, and protect monarch habitats, the waystations are charged with providing habitats that supply enough milkweed and nectar sources for breeding areas in the spring and summer to produce the generations of monarchs that will migrate each fall.
