Phil Robinson, D-Solon, spoke against the measure, calling it “an unfunded mandate because it doesn’t offset the increases that will happen if more people were to request vouchers.” The analysis by the Legislative Service Commission noted the number of scholarship awards would be limited by the how much funding the state appropriates for the program. Sen. Teresa Fedor, of Toledo, the top Democrat on the Senate Education Committee, objected in a statement that the measure “does not reflect what public school advocates expressed” in weeks of testimony on the issue. She also noted that lawmakers stripped language that would have dissolved the state-appointed academic distress commissions that the state has used to intervene in several repeatedly poor-performing districts. Search the scriptures: A beautiful inheritance David wrote, prophetically, “Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:9-11; ESV)” In his sermon on the day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter made a point about this passage, saying, “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. (Acts 2:29-32; ESV)” David was writing, not about himself, but about Christ. Through inspiration, God was instructing David as to the truth of the resurrection. But consider what else David foresaw. “My heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices,” says so thoroughly acquainted was satisfied with the Psalm. A few His life.

It’s a tough thing to imagine doing when one has been bombarded with messages about how miserable we all are and how terrible things happen to be, yet doing so helps to set us free from the chains of depressing self-absorption and resentments emanating from frustrated expectations. Think about it. Nothing does so much to inform our hearts of the good things we have in life and have experienced so much as tearing away our eyes from what we don’t have, others seem to enjoy, and false promises for happiness this world offers as fixing our gaze on things we do have, have enjoyed, and brought peace and happiness to our lives.

Have you ever caught yourself talking to yourself and thought the same about yourself? What about answering yourself when you found talking to yourself? Early on in my studentathletic days in high school, when I made mistakes on the basketball court or on the baseball field, I would talk to myself. But, the coach would fuss at me for talking to myself, and he would sit me down on the bench for it. He did not like it for his players to talk to themselves. So, as a kid, I had the perception instilled in me that it was wrong for people to talk to themselves. But, once when studying the Bible, it occurred to me that we should talk to ourselves. The Bible actually teaches the fine Friday, November 20, 2020 3 he asked himself a art of spiritually question.

But, we blow it so often by asking the wrong questions and by coming up with the wrong answers. There is only one way in which to properly learn how to talk to yourself and answer yourself——read the Word of God consistently. When you face your next crisis, ask yourself, “What does the Bible say to me right now?” Then, answer yourself with an appropriate Scripture. You will see that it makes a difference.

There are so many jobs from which to choose nowadays. How do we ever decide? Someone might choose a job where they think they can make a lot of money. Another might choose their career because of something they love to do or because they want to help people or because they are very good at doing something. A person could choose to follow their parents in their chosen profession. Quite often an individual starts out thinking they want to be one thing, and then they decide it isn’t right for them, so they choose another type of work. What we think we want to work at when we are young may not be what we end up doing when we are adults. Sometimes even as Ann adults, we may change careers. Moody Do you think Jesus ever Contributing thought about what He was columnist going to be when He grew up? He could have become a carpenter. His earthly father, Joseph, was a carpenter, and when Jesus was a young man, He worked with his father in his carpenter’s shop. Perhaps Jesus might have chosen to be a doctor. He certainly had a gift for healing people. He might have chosen to be a wine maker. When He turned water into wine at a wedding feast, the guests thought it was the best wine they had ever tasted. Surely Jesus could have gone into the fishing business. He once told some fishermen where to cast their nets, and they caught so many fish that their nets could not hold them all. Those would have all been good choices for Jesus, but that was not what He was born to do. Jesus was born to wear a crown. Who wears a crown? That’s right – a king, but Jesus’ crown was not a shiny, jeweled one. No, His would be a crown of thorns. Now, a person just doesn’t just wake up one day and say, “I know what I want to be… I want to be a king.” No, a person has to be born to be a king. Jesus’ Father was God, and God sent Jesus to be born our King – to save us from our sins. During the last days of His life on earth, Jesus was arrested and put on trial. He was asked by Pilate, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that your idea, or did others talk to you about Me?” Jesus asked. “It was your people who handed You over to me. What have You done?” Pilate replied. “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to defend Me. My kingdom is from another place.” “So, You are a king then,” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world.” (John 18:3337) This Sunday is called Christ the King Sunday. Jesus was born to be King, but we know not the kind of king that wears a golden crown and rules an earthly kingdom. His kingdom is in Heaven where He rules now and forever. We celebrate His Kingship this week. Let’s say a prayer together. Heavenly Father, we offer praise to Jesus, our King. We choose to follow Him each day. We look forward to living with Him in heaven where He reigns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

That’s Psalm 131. Now, let’s look at Psalm 42:5. “Why are you cast Search down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? …” (ESV). One presents a calm and quiet soul. The other a soul in turmoil. And the difference is hope. As the psalmist continues in 42:5, “… Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation” (ESV). He instructs his agitated soul to hope in God. And we must do the same. It’s a difficult time His Gospel (cf. Hebrews 2:13; Isaiah 8:18). And elsewhere, “No greater love has From page 2 a man than this, than to lay down his life for God, and faith that all his friends; you are my was well with His soul friends if you obey my (cf. Hebrews 12:2). Among those treasures commands.

More demanding than Most of my anxieties come from worrying about things out of my control. Most of my stress is a result of believing everything needs to be flawless. And rather than trusting in God, I trust in myself. Instead, I should humble myself before God, admitting my desperate need for His grace. The Bible says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:6-7 ESV). A hopeful soul is a humble soul. In Psalm 42, the psalmist directs his soul to God. Why? Because God is His salvation. It’s hard to hope in a God you don’t know. Maybe approaching God in humility means count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ… (Philippians 3:7-8; ESV).” Because of this perspective the apostle could have joy, hope and contentment in all physical circumstances, knowing that no matter what befell him, he had a “beautiful inheritance,” and would overcome (cf. Philippians 4:10-13). How often do we focus on the triumphs and tribulations of this world, viewing all things through the prism of the materialism, and in doing so, find constant reasons for unhappiness? Jesus offers us a path of joy, one which He Himself walked (cf. Psalm 16:11). Jesus offers us treasures in heaven, and a beautiful inheritance which cannot be taken away (cf. Matthew 6:20; 1 Peter 1:3-5). Let’s join Jesus on that path. The church of Christ invites you to worship and study with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. If you have questions or comments, please share them with us. or power… rather it was the salvation of souls, the preaching of God’s word, and a right relationship with God. What mattered to Jesus was not so much how His life would end, even if that end be a cross, but what would come after. One who strove to see the world the same way was the apostle Paul, who wrote, “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Use of masks will be mandatory at all times at team facilities, including during practice and in weight rooms. Meetings must be held either virtually or in the largest indoor space with approval by the league. Meals have to be made available for grab-and-go to avoid players and staff congregating in cafeterias. Time spent in the locker room also has to be limited. Clubs operating under the intensive protocols have reduced close contacts by more than 50% since the fifth week of the regular season, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press that was sent from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to teams on Wednesday. “These sustained reductions and the resulting health and safety benefits make it appropriate to implement the intensive protocols on a mandatory, league-wide basis,” Goodell said in the memo. So far, 28 teams have entered intensive protocol at some point and 16 teams have done it more than once. “The upcoming holidays, beginning with Thanksgiving next week, will introduce new risks of exposure that we need to address now,” Goodell wrote. “Because we have a highly sophisticated program of daily testing, we know when the virus enters our facilities, which underscores the importance of contact tracing and other steps to minimize close contacts within a facility. “Recent experience has highlighted the importance of minimizing high-risk close contacts; on multiple occasions, we have seen individuals identified on that basis test positive within a short time. We have also seen many instances in which effective action by clubs to minimize these close contacts prevented the virus from spreading within the club, and avoided players or coaches being ruled out of practice or games.” The NFL said Tuesday there were 17 new Championships moving to Massillon New Franklin County health advisory prevents games from being played at Fortress Obetz By Tim Stried ship games to Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in Massillon, which has offered to host all six games. The COLUMBUS — Due to a new health advisory games were scheduled to be played at Fortress issued by the Franklin Obetz in southeast County Department of Health and the Columbus Columbus. The schedule remains Department of Health the same as announced Wednesday afternoon Wednesday, with games that recommends the on Friday and Saturday games not be played at 1:15 and 6:15 and then in Franklin County, Sunday at 12:15 and the Ohio High School 5:15. Of note, in the DiviAthletic Association is sion II title game, Akron moving this weekend’s Archbishop Hoban High football state champion- For Ohio Valley Publishing School has agreed to play Massillon Washington on Massillon’s home field. The OHSAA has now designated Hoban as the home team in the game. The decision came Thursday morning after discussions with officials at Obetz and Franklin County. The OHSAA met virtually with the 12 finalist schools at 11:30 a.m. to inform them and answer questions. “Completing this weekend’s state championship games is very important to the schools, studentathletes and communities, so we felt strongly about finding a place to play,” said OHSAA Executive Director Doug Ute. “These 12 schools just want to play and we thank them for accepting this change. We would also like to especially thank Massillon Washington High School for stepping up to host, and also Hoban for agreeing to play there.” Paul Brown Tiger Stadium served as a host of the OHSAA football state championships from 1990 See MOVING | 9 See NFL | 9 This year’s Big Ten title chase shows defense still matters By Steve Megargee As the Big Ten prepares to have its version of “Separation Saturday,” it already is clear what trait distinguishes the league’s top four teams. Both division leads are at stake Saturday when No. 3 Ohio State (3-0) hosts No. 9 Indiana (4-0) and No. 10 Wisconsin (2-0) visits No. 19 Northwestern (4-0). The Big Ten’s four remaining unbeaten teams also boast four of the league’s best defenses. In an era when the College Football Playoff increasingly features the nation’s highest-scoring teams, this year’s Big Ten race shows defense still matters. That’s just the way Northwestern coach and former All-America linebacker Pat Fitzgerald likes it. “When you look at grade school and high school football now, a lot of 7-on-7, the guys who go play in those and get their SPARQ ratings up and get all the free gear for playing 7-on-7, eventually they get hit in the mouth,” Fitzgerald said. “And that’s called playing defense.” The Big Ten’s four unbeaten programs rank alongside Iowa (2-2) as the conference’s top five teams in total defense and scoring defense. Some of the Big Ten’s most productive offenses are struggling to win games. Penn State (0-4) ranks third in the Big Ten in total offense but allows 34.8 points per game. Minnesota (1-3) is fifth in the Big Ten in total offense but is yielding a league-high 35.8 points per game. “You have to have a really good defense,” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said. “I believe that in the Big Ten. That is my belief. I’m not saying that’s for college football. But I know what works for us.” It’s not necessarily true everywhere else. LSU ranked ninth in the Southeastern Conference in yards allowed per game (343.5) and seventh in yards allowed per play (5.11) last year but won the national title by scoring an NCAA-leading 48.4 points per game. Each of the last two years, three of the four College Football Playoff participants ranked among the nation’s four highest-scoring teams. “I love shutouts, give up a touchdown, maybe give up 13 points,” Indiana coach Tom Allen said earlier this season. “But those days are long gone.” Yet the Hoosiers are coming off a 24-0 shutout of Michigan State and have intercepted an See DEFENSE | 9 Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Eastern senior Sydney Sanders receives a serve in front of teammate Jenna Chadwell (4), during a home match on Sept. 28 in Tuppers Plains, Ohio. 2020 District 13 volleyball teams OVP area lands 23 selections throughout 3 divisions By Alex Hawley of first time all-district award winners, Madison Hall and Malerie Stanley A total of 23 people — were both named to the third team. players and two coaches Both of the Lady — from Gallia and Meigs Marauders’ selections counties were named to came on the second team, the All-District 13 volleyball teams, as selected with junior Mallory Hawby the coaches within the ley repeating as a second team choice from last district. year, and Hannah Durst In Division II, Gallia Academy (20-4) — Ohio earning her first career Valley Conference cham- all-district nod.

Onyeka Okongwu recalled his brother. Obi Toppin thought about coming home. Tears flowed freely for those and many more players Wednesday night when their long-awaited, months-delayed NBA dreams were finally realized. Edwards was taken by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the No. 1 pick in an NBA draft delayed multiple times because of the coronavirus pandemic. Commissioner Adam Silver announced the pick from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut. The draft was originally scheduled for June 25 before multiple delays caused by the virus pushed it back and out of its usual home at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Boxes of hats were shipped to the top prospects to put on the one they needed after their name was called. Edwards watched while seated next to portraits of his late mother and grandmother. They both died of cancer and he was emotional after his name was announced. “As far as just being excited and just being happy and ready to go and ready to work and ready to get there as soon as possible, those emotions were overwhelming with just my mother and grandmother being there,” Edwards said. “I mean, it was just a dream come true and just a blessing.” And though there wasn’t the usual family table in the green room and trip on stage to meet the commissioner, some players still were outfitted in fashionable attire — perhaps none more than No. 12 pick Tyrese Haliburton of Sacramento, whose blue, floral suit had the words “Black Lives Matter” on the inside. They celebrated with family, friends, coaches NFL From page 8 confirmed positives among players and 35 among other personnel during testing from Nov. 8-14. That brought the league’s total to 95 players and 175 other personnel since Aug. 1, not counting new cases this week. “The biggest motivator I find when we talk to the clubs about this is simply that if they are not in compliance with the protocols from a maskwearing perspective or for some reason somebody forgot their device or something like that, they’re much more likely to be identified as a high-risk close contact than they would otherwise,” said Jeff Miller, the league’s executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy. “So when that individual coach or player is removed from the team environment for five days because their mask was down, that’s a lesson learned throughout the facility. And so I don’t think we see a lot of repeat problems as far as that goes. Not everybody’s perfect all the time. But I think the biggest enforcement piece is taking somebody out of the team environment and potentially costing them the opportunity to play in the game or to go through a week’s worth of the practice. I think that part of it is a little bit undersold. It feels like a lot when we talk to the clubs as a behavior change mechanism.” Teams not having been in the intensive protocols are the Jets, Buccaneers, Seahawks and Washington. “Well, it does shift some things,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “It’s not a problem for us . … So we’ll do whatever. … We’re gonna follow to the letter of the law, and continue to really have an attitude that we can pull this thing off. I think the mentality of it is important as anything, because it has to carry over into all aspects, and all facets of everybody’s lives.” Asked his thoughts on the intensive protocol mandates, Broncos linebacker Alexander Johnson said: “We gotta do what we gotta do to get paid.” Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox, who lives with teammate Dallas Goedert, said they probably won’t host family or friends for Thanksgiving to avoid further risk. “You gotta do whatever it takes to stay safe and be able to play this game,” Maddox said. “You have to be responsible at home and be ready for whatever they have planned for us.” Moving From page 8 through 2013. “This is a big change at the 11th hour, but Massillon Washington can accommodate these games and the number of fans that are permitted to attend,” said Beau Rugg, OHSAA Senior Director of Officiating and Sport Management and the OHSAA’s football administrator. “We are pleased to be playing football this weekend and are excited that these 12 schools will be able to finish their seasons.” The Franklin County and Columbus health advisory recommends a pause on all extra-curricular activities for schools and asks all persons to be home by 6 p.m. “Fortress Obetz was excited to host these games and we appreciate all the work that they put into preparations,” Ute said. Tim Stried is the Director of Communications for the OHSAA. tained another leg injury earlier Wednesday, took Memphis center James Wiseman with the second pick. They stumbled to the bottom of the league while Thompson missed the entire season with a torn ACL in his left knee. The severity of his injury had not been revealed as the draft began but it didn’t persuade the Warriors to take another guard. Instead they went with the 7-foot-1 center who arrived as the No. 1 recruit out of high school and averaged 19.7 points and 10.7 rebounds in three games before he was suspended for eligibility reasons and eventually left the program to prepare for the draft. LaMelo Ball then went to the Charlotte Hornets, the next stop on a lengthy basketball journey that sent the guard from high school in California to stops as a professional in Lithuania and Australia. He joined brother Lonzo, taken No. 2 by the Lakers and now in New Orleans, to give the Balls two brothers taken in the top three picks. After all his travels, Ball is eager to make a home playing for Michael Jordan’s team in Charlotte. “I feel like I can go out there and play basketball,” Ball said. “I feel like I was born to do this.” The newcomers will have precious little time to prepare for their debuts and need to knock off months of rust or more — Wiseman hasn’t played an organized game in a year — without the benefit of summer league. Training camps open in early December and the 72-game 2020-21 season is set to begin on Dec. 22. “This draft process has been the longest for me, so I’ve just been working on my game,” Wiseman said. “I’ve actually been playing pickup games with pros already, so I’ve been getting a lot of experience. But really just focusing on myself. I’m truly ready to play with these great guys.” Teams had to evaluate prospects without benefit of the usual draft combine in Chicago or the ability to invite them to their facilities for workouts and meetings. And with the coronavirus shutting down the sports world in March, there was no NCAA Tournament for the players to make a final impression before entering the draft. That helped contribute to perhaps more questions than usual surrounding the draft, with little feel for how the top few picks would play out. The Chicago Bulls took Patrick Williams of Florida State, the ACC sixth man of the year as a freshman, at No. 4. Cleveland followed with Auburn’s Isaac Okoro, another freshman, to round out the top five. The latter half of the top 10 featured a couple highly regarded international players in France’s Killian Hayes, taken by Detroit at No. 7, and Deni Avdija, the highest player to come from Israel when Washington picked him at No. 9.

I think a lot of teams in the Big Ten feel that same way and have that same kind of belief in their defense and understand how important defense is.” Northwestern bounced back from a 3-9 season in 2019 by upgrading its offense, but defense remains the Wildcats’ strength. Northwestern has allowed fewer yards per play (4.33) than Wisconsin (4.75), though Iowa (4.22) leads the Big Ten and is tied for second nationally in that category. Now the Wildcats get to test themselves against Wisconsin with West Division supremacy on the line. It’s the type of defense-oriented matchup Fitzgerald savors. “I love watching our league,” Fitzgerald said. “I love watching people get punched in the face. I love people responding to it. We’ve played, I think, some really good defensive teams this year. And now we’re going to probably play, not probably, they are the best defense in the Big Ten and probably the best defense in the country, this weekend. It’ll be a great challenge.

Movie director Spike Lee jumped up and down with his family when Orlando took Anthony, whose father, Greg played for the Knicks, at No. 15. Some moments triggered deeper emotions. Okongwu, taken No. 6 by Atlanta, recalled his older brother, Nnamdi, who died after a skateboarding accident in 2014. Toppin, the national player of the year last season at Dayton, struggled to speak after New York took him at No. 8, bringing the Brooklyn-born forward to his hometown. “I’m from New York, that’s why it’s important,” Toppin said. “Me repping my city, it’s amazing.” Edwards became the 11th straight one-anddone player to be the No. 1 pick, coming in a year where there was no clear obvious choice.

Bush battled before the Florida Supreme Court over whether the presidential election recount should be allowed to continue. On this date: In 1620, Peregrine White was born aboard the Mayflower in Massachusetts Bay; he was the first child born of English parents in present-day New England. In 1945, 22 former Nazi officials went on trial before an international war crimes tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany. (Almost a year later, the International Military Tribune sentenced 12 of the defendants to death; seven received prison sentences ranging from 10 years to life; three were acquitted.) In 1947, Britain’s future queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy held a news conference in which he announced the end of the naval quarantine of Cuba imposed during the missile crisis, and the signing of an executive order prohibiting discrimination in federal housing facilities. In 1967, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Clock at the Commerce Department ticked past 200 million. In 1969, the Nixon administration announced a halt to residential use of the pesticide DDT as part of a total phaseout. A group of American Indian activists began a 19-month occupation of Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. In 1975, after nearly four decades of absolute rule, Spain’s Generalissimo Francisco Franco died, two weeks before his 83rd birthday. In 1984, pop star Michael Jackson was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame with the unveiling of his star in front of a horde of screaming fans. In 1985, the first version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system, Windows 1.0, was officially released. In 2003, Michael Jackson was booked on suspicion of child molestation in Santa Barbara, Calif. (Jackson was later acquitted at trial.) Record producer Phil Spector was charged with murder in the shooting death of an actor, Lana Clarkson, at his home in Alhambra (al-HAM’-bruh), California. (Spector’s first trial ended with a hung jury in 2007; he was convicted of second-degree murder in 2009 and sentenced to 19 years to life in prison.) In 2009, holding back tears, Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience that she would end her talk show in 2011 after a quarter-century on the air.

Days after that statement was issued, Trump fired the agency’s leader. The increasingly desperate and erratic moves are not expected to change the outcome of the 2020 election, where Biden has now received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history and has clinched the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win. But the president’s constant barrage of baseless claims, his work to personally sway local officials who certify votes and his allies’ refusal to admit he lost is likely to have a lasting negative impact on the country.
