Cocaine Mindy Kearns/Courtesy A ribbon cutting ceremony was held Thursday to open the new Dollar Tree store, located on Ohio River Road near Mason. Pictured, from left, are “Bucky” the Dollar Tree mascot; Tim Sider, store manager; Mason councilman Bob Wing; Mason Mayor Donna Dennis; Missy Grueser, assistant manager; and Stephanie Landaker, store cashier. “Although Dollar Tree is not officially in town, it is nice to see new business come to the area,” said Dennis. “I know many people drive to Gallipolis just to go to the store there. It will be convenient to have one in the county, and especially nice since it is so close to the school.” The Dollar Tree offers a variety of items, all priced at $1, including health and beauty, party supplies, seasonal and home décor, housewares, craft supplies, and others. The Mason location will also offer frozen and refrigerated food items. Dollar Tree, Inc. is based in Chesapeake, Virginia, and has approximately 14,000 stores in the U.S. and Canada. The company listed $8.6 billion in revenue in 2015. It also operates Family Dollar stores, as well as others.

She would even confess that she was not sure what her problem was. I hate to say that her tardiness was a nuisance, but it was as it concerned the start of our services. But, I kept my mouth shut.

I would have said “no” In a desperate too. “So if creating a more perfect life isn’t what matters, what does?” So if creating a more perfect life isn’t what matters, what does? “In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us” (Colossians 3:11). Jesus Christ—the risen Son of God—is all that matters! If that’s the case, where does life change come into play? Same answer! Jesus creates the change that so many admire. But you see, like the young man I invited to church, many people look at themselves to change. As a result, they carry around an insur- mountable burden—the burden called insufficiency. They say things like, “I could never be good enough. I’ve tried to change before, and I can’t pull it off. Besides, no church would ever let me enter the doors. Christianity just isn’t for me.” You know what, if that’s what you’ve been thinking, forget everything. Forget doctrine. Forget religion. Forget church attendance. Just don’t forget the one who matters—Jesus. “For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).

A HUNGER FOR MORE Trusting in ‘the plan’ God has laid out “But I’m almost done with college and God still hasn’t done anything,” protested the young woman across from me in the campus coffee shop where I often held “office hours” as a campus pastor (many years ago). Thom Mollohan Contributing columnist Her voice was louder than she had intended and people at nearby tables cast a glance in our direction. Heedless of what others were thinking, she went on. “You say that God has a plan for me, but I don’t see it. I want to be with someone so badly and it feels like God doesn’t care,” she said. “But He does care,” I replied. “Just think of His promise in Romans 8:32, ‘He Who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?” “Well, I don’t know,” she responded. “I feel like I’ve got to do something.” We talked a little more, then prayed and parted company with very little resolved, unless it was the resolve that she already had in pursuing a relationship that was not Christ-centered. My heart hurt for that Christian woman, partly for the pain of her loneliness, but mostly for the pain I was sure that she would suffer in forging her own path outside of God’s plan for her: it seemed to me that her life was about to turn a tragic direction. Sadly, it did go the way “Trusting God with our relationships seems to be a tricky thing.” I was afraid it would for her as it has for some other men and women I have known in the last See PLAN | 5 �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — Holzer Center for Cancer Care is sponsoring a Cancer Survivor Support Group meeting on Thursday, April 13 at noon in the French 500 Room at Holzer Gallipolis Medical Center.

It’s just that compared to Jesus Christ, they are nothing. “Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith” (Philippians 3:8-9). Jesus. He really is all that matters. But wait, there’s one last thing I want to say.

But secondly, our singleness will be a place where we exercise the faith to which we have been called. Consider what is at stake. God has a plan especially crafted for a “special you” and your spiritual enemy (the devil) would like for nothing more (and wants nothing less) than for you to be derailed from that plan, partly to steal your joy and peace, but also to try to sabotage your fruitfulness for God. Solomon’s wisdom was known far and wide, but he gave his heart away to women who did not share his love for God (it just made sense from a worldly perspective). In consequence, his heart turned away from the Lord and he forfeited, wise as he once was, the fullness of God’s blessing in his life and the lives of his children (see 1 Kings 11).

But singleness has the potential of being a very special place to experience the love of God. First, it allows us to celebrate the “centrality of Christ.” I simply mean the fact that there is no relationship that is even remotely as critical (and wonderful) as our relationship with God. Remember that the “Greatest Commandment” is to “love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, soul, and mind” (see Matthew 22:38) and it is to a true relationship with God that you have been called. The fact is that many people are looking to another man or woman to provide what only God can. Unconditional love and acceptance, however, cannot be truly found in any human relationship (no matter what movies or songs tell us), unless they are first grounded in the love of God Who HAS loved us unconditionally and accepts us with all our faults – as SUNDAY Low clouds, then perhaps some sun 5 Primary: cladosporium Sat. 7:13 a.m. 7:52 p.m. 10:42 a.m. 12:09 a.m. SATURDAY 57° Temperature 0.00 3.14 3.78 9.94 9.82 remembered the brother and I concluding as we laughed by the window - though it might seem as though she was late, we were assured that she would most surely come.

Still, I pray for those who suffer from the snare of loneliness that besets men and women today (and not just college-age ones) and the strength it has in turning people’s hearts away from God. Trusting God with our relationships seems to be a tricky thing. I imagine that it is in part due to the fact that the world (the devil’s megaphone) likes to tell us that if we are single then something is wrong with us, either in looks or in personality.

Maybe you realize that it’s not about you—your performance, efforts, or successes. Maybe you’re starting to believe that Jesus is enough for you. If that’s so, I pray that you would give your life to Him. You’re not giving your life to religion. You’re not giving your life to church attendance. You’re not giving your life to self-sufficiency.

Va. — Looks like the Lady Knights are back on the winning track. In its first affair since its first defeat, the Point Pleasant High School softball squad bounced back on Wednesday at host Sissonville. Thanks to a nine-run eruption in the fourth inning, the Lady Knights pulled away from a narrow 2-0 lead —and notched an 11-1 mercy-rule win. The contest was called following the fourth frame with West Virginia’s 10-run mercy rule. The Lady Knights scored single markers in their opening and third at-bats, but blew up in the top of the fourth for nine runs on seven hits and three walks. That made it 11-0 and put the mercy rule into effect, as Sissonville scored its only point in the bottom half. With the win, the Lady Knights raised their record to 6-1 —as they opened the season with five consecutive victories before losing to Lincoln County last Saturday. Sissonville, with the loss, slipped to 2-6. Tuesday’s tilt between host Point Pleasant and Winfield was cancelled due to rain and wet grounds. Alas, the opportunity for PPHS to get back to playing — and get back to winning —was on Wednesday.

Belpre got its only hit of the final three innings in top of the seventh, but the Lady Golden Eagles failed to score and fell by a 13-5 final for their first loss of the year. “This is a good case of six weeks of great preparation,” said EHS head coach Bryan Durst. “I think we were looking forward to this game from the first day of practice. To be able to come out here, carry through with all the hard work and show that it really paid off makes me feel really good and makes me feel really proud of these girls.” Eastern’s starting pitcher, Elaina Hensley, earned the win, allowing five runs, three earned, on seven hits and one walk. Earning the save and pitching the final 3.1 frames was Sophie Carleton, who allowed zero runs on one hit, one walk and one hit batter. Both EHS pitchers struck out two batters. “In the preseason we’ve been going about three innings and I had a feeling we wouldn’t be able to go much over that,” Coach Durst said. “We’re probably going to pull some pitchers pretty quick this year. Sophie came in there a did her job, she probably wasn’t as sharp as she could have been and really didn’t throw her fastball like she normally does. She just went in there and gutted it out.” The losing pitcher of record was Osburn, who allowed 11 runs on 14 hits and three walks in 4.1 innings. Harman pitched the final 1.2 innings in relief for BHS, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks. Osburn struck out four batters, while Harman fanned one. “Sometimes with home runs, once they get started it’s just like an epidemic,” Coach Durst said. “Sidney Cook’s was as good of a shot as I’ve seen in the last couple of years and Katlyn Barber follows it right up. Our two, three, four and five hitters all had home runs, it’s just good hitting.” Rockhold led the Lady Eagles at the plate, going 4-for-5 with one home run, two doubles, four runs scored and two runs batted in. Katlyn Barber was 2-for-2 with two home runs, three runs batted in and two runs scored, Cook was 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and two RBIs, while Durst was 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and one RBI. Grueser went 3-for-5 at the plate for EHS, marking two doubles and two RBIs. Maxon finished 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI, Ally Barber added a single and a run scored, Fitzgerald See EAGLES | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell says she’s returning DALLAS (AP) — Ohio State junior Kelsey Mitchell is returning for her senior season. The school released a statement Wednesday saying Mitchell would not enter the WNBA draft early and will come back to the Buckeyes. “Getting a degree from The Ohio State University was one of my top goals when coming to college and I look forward to completing my degree next spring. My teammates and I also have a number of goals we have yet to accomplish on the court,” she said in the statement. “One of those goals is to play in the Final Four, and we have a tremendous opportunity to do that next year here in Columbus.” The two-time Big Ten Player of the Year was eligible for this year’s draft because she’ll turn 22 in 2017. She is third on the school’s career scoring list and fifth in conference history with 2,553 points. Mitchell earned second-team AP All-America honors on Monday. “I’m excited to have Kelsey coming back for her senior season,” Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff said in a text to The Associated Press. “She is an outstanding young woman who is a terrific representative of our program and university. Her leadership next year will be instrumental as we continue on our path towards national prominence.” Mitchell isn’t the only Ohio State player who could have left early. Her teammates Stephanie Mavunga and Linnae Harper are both eligible to declare for the draft, but neither is expected to leave school early. Ohio State was a five-seed in the NCAA Tournament and lost in the regional semifinals to Notre Dame after knocking off Kentucky on its home court in the second round. Knights From page 6 Point Pleasant posted a pair of hits apiece in the one-run first and third, as Hannah Smith smacked a double in the second. The Lady Knights’ offensive outburst was a big boost to senior pitcher Karson Bonecutter, who pitched all four innings for the victory in the circle. Bonecutter crafted a two-hit, no-walk, twostrikeout masterpiece, retiring the first 10 Indians she faced. In the fourth, Keelin Hayes had a single for the Indians, advanced to third on Jenna Thomas’ double, then scored on Olivia Montgomery’s RBI-groundout. But Bonecutter induced another groundout to end the game, stranding Thomas at third. The Lady Knights drilled a dozen basehits and were walked seven times, as three Lady Indians split the pitching duties. Thomas, who started and worked the first three frames, was charged with the pitching loss. All 11 Lady Knight runs were earned, including all nine off Honesty Bragg in the fourth. Point Pleasant did strand nine baserunners, though, as the Indians only committed one error. Kelsie Byus led the Lady Knights by going 3-for-4 with two runs scored, as her two-run double in the fourth made it 11-0. Michaela Cottrill and Leah Cochran both went 2-for-3, as Cottrill collected a run batted in. Cammy Hesson, who paced Point Pleasant with three runs scored, homered off Thomas in the Lady Knights’ initial at-bat. PPHS made it 2-0 in the third —when Byus singled to lead off, and scored two batters later on a single by Tanner King. The only other Lady Knight hit was Megan Hammond hammering a two-run double in the fourth. Point Pleasant will travel to play in the Chapmanville Tournament today (Friday, March 31) and Saturday.

That’s because the Blue Devils, in Wednesday’s non-league tilt against visiting Portsmouth Clay, captured a narrow 3-2 win. Wednesday was the initial match of 2017 for the Blue Devils, which sport nine players including six returnees and three newcomers.
