A total of 19 counties are now participating in the Ohio START (Sobriety, Treatment, and Reducing Trauma) program. Ohio START is an intervention program that will provide specialized victim services, such as intensive trauma counseling, to children who have suffered victimization due to parental drug use. The program will also provide drug treatment for parents of children referred to the program. “We welcome Meigs County to the program and look forward to helping them provide important victim services to children impacted by parental opioid addiction,” said Attorney General DeWine. “Children are often the silent victims of this epidemic, and they deserve the best possible support and care.” Community Pride: Readers tell their story By Bud Hunt bhunt@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Today’s edition is the newspaper’s largest edition of the year. Appropriately enough, we refer to this as our Community Pride and Progress edition. A few years ago we changed the focus of the edition to make it more about the people in our area. This year’s theme is “From there to here.” We have featured Attorney General DeWine when announcing the initial pilot program last month. Ohio START will bring together child protective services, peer mentors, the courts, and behavioral health and treatment providers to work closely with families whose children have been abused or neglected due to parental addiction. Because Meigs County is now participating in Ohio START, Attorney General DeWine allotted an additional $233,750 in Victim of Crime Act grants to the program. The Public Children Services Association of Ohio, which is administering the grants on behalf of each county, will now receive a total of $4,829,000 to launch the southern Ohio pilot program across all 19 counties. Other counties participating in the program are: Adams, Athens, Brown, Clermont, Clinton, Fairﬁeld, Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Perry, Pickaway, Pike, Hocking, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton. If shown to be successful, Ohio START could expand to more counties in other regions of the state. EHS Prom candidates announced 21 individuals from the Ohio Valley area who, thankfully, took their time to tell us their story. And, what stories they are. We have individuals who have been around the globe, have touched the stars and in some instances made a name for themselves on the national stage. We also are fortunate to have those individuals who have made a See PRIDE | 3 Ohio wants 4,700 educators back in fingerprint-check system COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — About 4,700 Ohio-licensed educators are missing from Ohio’s ﬁngerprint-tracking system that helps notify their employers about any new criminal charges against them, so they’re being asked to voluntarily be ﬁngerprinted again and get background checks while ofﬁcials seek to ﬁx a loophole that led to the problem. At least 1,200 of those educators currently Attorney General DeWine announced the creation of Ohio START last month. The program will provide specialized victim services to children who have been abused or neglected due to parental drug use. “Children with a parent or parents addicted to drugs tend to stay in foster care longer, and they enter foster care having experienced signiﬁcant trauma. While mom and dad are high, these kids may go days without food or supervision. They may have witnessed a parent inject drugs, overdose, or even die,” said work in Ohio public schools, according to the state Department of Education. The issue surfaced before the current school year, and the Department of Education has been checking the Ohio Court Network to make sure none of the educators in question has a noteworthy criminal case that merits notifying their employers in the meantime, See OHIO | 3 INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Church: 4 Weather: 5 Sports: 6 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Church Directory: 10 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news?

The department says it doesn’t have authority to force those educators to be ﬁngerprinted again. DeMaria notiﬁed State Board of Education members in a Thursday letter about the problem. He said he’ll also ask them to seek legislative help to address it. The department also is sending letters to affected licensees, requesting that they voluntarily get a new background check with new ﬁngerprints. The decade-old Rapback Program, created by state law and run by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, is meant as a continual safeguard to ensure that certain people, such as teachers or foster parents, don’t remain in such positions of trust if they’re convicted of crimes after their initial background checks.

Friday, April 28, 2017 3 Retired teachers hear from ORTA president-elect The Meigs County Retired Teachers Association met on April 20 at the Wild Horse Cafe for a noon luncheon. Charlene Rutherford, president, welcomed the group and led the pledge to the ﬂag. Duane Wolfe told a story about “The Hired Hand” and then sang “Mary Knew” for devotions. He had prayer before the meal. The secretary and treasurer reports were given. Wolfe said that $3,700 was raised at a fundraiser for the Brenda K. Wolfe Peritoneal Cancer Foundation. It was mentioned that there will be a speaker from Habitat for Humanity for the September meeting. Bee Lehner, president-elect of the ORTA, was the speaker for the meeting. She is from Coshocton. She said that the Ohio Retired Teachers Association is ﬁghting for teachers and is the watchdog for the pensions. She talked about the COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment). The retirement board was meeting to eliminate or suspend it; put it on hold for one year; or keep it frozen (which is where it is now). Before the meeting was over she received a text that it stays frozen. She advised not to join POPS (Protect Our Pension System) as we are protected by the board. Lehner also talked about our health care. We have health care as a privilege and is not a guarantee. The board was to vote on this in April but was deferred until 2019. The board has a strategic plan when they meet:Cut the board size down (reduce membership) Name change from Ohio Retired Teachers Association to Ohio Retired Educators System Adopt a new logo Change the mission statement Change membership to July through June Rearrange the districts She told about the ORTA meeting which is May 5. It’s called “A Day at the Zoo.” The fall meeting will be Oct. 10, celebrating the group’s 70th anniversary. Door prizes were given to Martie Baum and Janice Weber. The next meeting will be May 18 at the Trinity Church. Mike Gerlach will be the speaker.

In this particular text, the Ethiopians attempted to take matters into their own hands. Apparently, the Ethiopians thought it would be helpful and necessary to incorporate the government at Jerusalem into their plan. With Jerusalem’s help, Ethiopia felt assured they could hasten the process of wrestling control of the Middle East from the Assyrians. Though the timing seemed right to Ethiopia, it was not the right timing with God. God had a different plan and time-table. God most certainly was going to deal with Assyria. But, God was calmly in charge according to His particular timing. Isaiah wrote that God said, “For so the Lord said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like shimmering heat in sunshine, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.” While Ethiopia was See GOD | 5 SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Meeting the requirements Micah 5:2, Matthew 2:6).

As they were walking, the two friends were talking about all that had happened when another man walked up behind them and joined them. (It was Jesus, but the Bible says they were kept from recognizing Him.) Jesus asked them what they were talking about, and the two men couldn’t believe that this man didn’t know about what had been going on in Jerusalem the last few days.

He has given you the opportunity of accepting the love that he dedicated his entire life to living. Don’t focus on your sin and positions. Jesus died so things like that wouldn’t separate you from the wonderful love of God. You are loved because Jesus taught it. Jesus once told a story about a father and his two sons. “The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide “You are loved because Jesus says you are.” his wealth between his two sons. A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve” (Luke 15:12-14). As it turns out, the younger son’s plan didn’t work. He thought the life away from his own home with money would make him happier, but it just brought him to a horrible, See LORD | 5 �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel From page 4 tense about birthing a new state of affairs, God was not in any hurry. His will is never delivered before the time, and His will is never delivered after the time. God is always on time in His own time. We ﬁnd here, therefore, a valuable lesson for the people of God to embrace. Just like the timing of a child being born, there is nothing any one can do until God sees ﬁt to do it. Ethiopia’s self-will proved fatal. Although informed about God’s will, Ethiopia attacked Jerusalem when diplomacy did not work. Assyria counterattacked, and inﬂicted a devastating defeat on Ethiopia. Ethiopia paid the price for trying to go over God’s head. This incident reveals some characteristics about how God calmly handles human affairs. First, it is apparent that God does not “get stressed” with human affairs. This is afﬁrmed by what God said, “I will take my rest. I will remain quiet.” By comparison, why should we get stressed with the circumstances of our affairs if God does not get stressed with our affairs? This is a critical spiritual truth that God keeps stressing to us. He keeps telling us in His Word not to worry about anything. If God is not going to get stressed as He calmly handles human affairs, neither should we as we wait for Him to work. Second, God is very much aware of our human circumstances from His position in Heaven as “He looks on from His dwelling place.” He is constantly on top of our problems, seeing things we do not see, knowing things we do not know, and working together for our good. We need to trust that. Third, God purposely manifests His presence during the courses of our troubles. This is described in two ways. His presence is manifested like “shimmering heat in sunshine.” Have you ever noticed on hot summer days that, as you gaze in the distance, the atmosphere seems to writhe and wriggle? The “shimmering” is symbolic of God’s assuring presence. Then, there are the “clouds of dew.” Clouds typically refer to God’s manifested presence. Though our human affairs may get heated up, God wants us to know that He is involved and present. The vital difference we can demonstrate about the Christian life is patient trust in God. As He is calm and steady, so should we be, and can be. I have to admit that I was in a hurry for Ron to be born. But, God’s timing was perfect. I do not know why October 14th was better than October 12th.

God wants you to be his. He desires your obedience and love. He sent Jesus into the world so you could have the opportunity to be his disciple and experience love in ways beyond initial thoughts and desires. When God speaks of love, he speaks of a love that is so much greater than you can imagine. Whenever what he had done. No matter the sins, he was home! Jesus taught this story because he has the same heart. You are loved, but God wants you to love also. You will never understand God’s love perfectly on this earth.

But the Bible is pretty emphatic in making it clear that God does not play favorites, He expects the same thing from everyone (cf. Acts 10:34-35); and He judges everyone according to the same standards. Fortunately, when we look at Micah’s message about what God expects from man, Micah’s point is that God’s expectations are neither unreasonable, nor difﬁcult. They are easy to understand, and, with just barren place in his life. “So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming.

See TORNADOES | 7 Blue Devils edge Panthers in 8 innings By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com CHESAPEAKE, Ohio — You can never make it to the top unless you work some overtime. For the Gallia Academy High School baseball team, following Wednesday’s extra-inning victory at Chesapeake, the Blue Devils are all alone in ﬁrst-place in the Ohio Valley Conference. That’s because the Blue Devils broke a 5-5 tie with a pair of runs in the top of the eighth inning, and defeated the host Panthers 7-5 to take over sole possession of the league lead. Gallia Academy amassed its sixth consecutive victory — all in the OVC — and is now a leaguebest 9-3, part of 12-5 overall. Indeed, the Blue Devils dug themselves all the way out of an 0-2 hole in the conference standings. Ironton, after its results on Wednesday with South Point, is in second-place at 8-4. Gallia Academy, the defending OVC champion, can clinch no worse than a share of the league championship —should it defeat visiting Portsmouth on Friday. But ﬁrst, the Blue Devils had to survive the Panthers and complete that season sweep — and it took an extra inning in which to do so. The score stood tied 2-2 after three frames — as Chesapeake scored single runs in the opening two innings, while GAHS had single points in the second and third. The Blue Devils then seized a 4-2 advantage with two runs in the ﬁfth, before the Panthers roared back with three runs in the sixth to lead 5-4. Then, in the seventh, GAHS pinch-hitter Matt Moreaux drew a leadoff walk, followed by walks to Tanner Allen and Wyatt Sipple to load the bases. Moreaux, off Chesapeake relief pitcher Austin Browning, scored the game-tying run on a sacriﬁce ﬂy by Josh Faro. The Blue Devils did have a chance to take the lead, but stranded runners at ﬁrst and second — after Browning induced Braden Simms into a ﬁelder’s choice. Gallia Academy then gained the 7-5 edge in the top of the eighth, sending eight batters to the plate and combining two leadoff hits, an intentional walk, a hit batsman, a ﬁelder’s choice and a walk for its two runs. Against Browning, Cole Davis and Brody Thomas led off the eighth with singles, then Jeremy Brumﬁeld was intentionally walked to load the bases. Browning plunked Allen with a pitch to cross Davis, then following Sipple hitting into a ﬁelder’s choice, a walk to Faro brought in Brumﬁeld. In the ﬁnal two innings, Blue Devil reliever John Stout faced four batters apiece — and stranded a Panther runner at third. In the seventh, Evan Burcham singled and advanced to third on an error, but Stout sat down the ﬁnal three batters, including on a pair of strikeouts.

Lady Eagles outscore Southern, 23-19 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — So much for a pitchers’ duel. The Eastern and Southern softball teams combined for 35 hits, including eight home runs, as the host Lady Eagles earned a 23-19 victory over the Lady Tornadoes, in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division showdown on Wednesday night at Don Jackson Field. The offensive showcase began in the top of the ﬁrst inning, as Southern (7-9, 7-6 TVC Hocking) scored four runs, three of which came on Paige VanMeter’s ﬁrst home run of the night. The Lady Eagles (13-3, 12-2) answered in a big way in the bottom of the inning. EHS junior Sidney Cook hit a two-run home run, her ﬁrst of the night, pulling Eastern within one. Katlyn Barber followed it up with a home run of her own, tying the game at four. Later in the ﬁrst inning, Kelsey Casto hit a two-run homer, giving the Lady Eagles a 6-4 lead. Southern was held scoreless in the second inning, and EHS took advantage. Eastern’s lead grew to 11-4 after scoring ﬁve runs in the second inning, which was highlight by a two-run double by Katlyn Barber and a two-run single by Hannah Bailey. The Lady Tornadoes made up the seven-run deﬁcit in just one inning, tying the game at 11 in the top of the third inning, which featured VanMeter’s second home run of the game. Eastern reestablished its lead with four runs in the bottom of the third frame, which featured Cook’s second homer of the game. Southern tied the game at 15 in the top of the fourth inning, as VanMeter hit a grand slam for her third and ﬁnal home run of the game. The Lady Eagle lead was reestablished with Cook’s third and ﬁnal home run of the game, and the EHS lead was expanded to 18-15 by the end of the fourth inning. Southern failed to score in the top of the ﬁfth, and a two-out SHS error in the bottom of the frame allowed EHS to push its lead to 19-15. The Lady Tornadoes answered the call one more time, scoring four times on three walks and two hits, to tie the game at 19 in the top of the sixth inning. Eastern scored its 20th run — the game-winning run — on the second of back-to-back doubles by Taylynn Rockhold and Ally Barber, in the bottom of the sixth inning. EHS added three insurance runs in the frame, as Hannah Bailey singled home Ally Barber, and then Cook doubled home Bailey and Emmalea Durst. SHS recorded a single in the top of the seventh, but a double play ended the Lady Tornadoes night and sealed the 23-19 EHS victory. The pitching victory went to Eastern junior Elaina Hensley, who pitched the ﬁrst .1 innings and then came back in for the ﬁnal 4.2 frames. Hensley struck out six, while surrendering 14 runs, 10 earned, on 12 hits and seven walks. Sophia Carleton pitched 2.0 frames of relief for EHS, striking out two, while allowing ﬁve runs, two earned, on three hits and two walks. The loss in the record book went to SHS junior Sydney Cleland, who struck out one and allowed 23 runs, 15 earned, on 20 hits and six walks. The Eastern offensive surge was undoubtedly led by Cook, who was 4-for-5 with three home runs, one double, ﬁve runs scored and seven runs batted in. Katlyn Barber was 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, four runs scored and three RBIs, Durst was 3-for-5 with three runs scored and one RBI, while Casto was 2-for-3 with a home run, one run scored and three RBIs.

Cera Grue- ser scored twice in the win, while Abbie Hawley scored once and drove in one run.

After a trip to Belpre on Thursday, EHS will wrap up its league campaign on Friday at Waterford. SHS will be back at home next, as Trimble visits Racine on Friday.

The cuts will trim ESPN’s stable of on-air talent and writers by about 10 percent. The 37-year-old network has been squeezed by rising fees to broadcast live events at the same time hordes of cord-cutting TV viewers have been canceling their ESPN subscriptions.
