The accreditation process began nearly five years ago, with the site visit as one of the final steps in the process before the health department’s materials and information are reviewed by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) for a determination on accreditation. Due to the site visit, which will take place Jan. 22 and 23, the health department will be closed to the public on Wednesday, Jan. 22. Normal business hours will be in place on Jan. 23. During the visit, four site team members — who are from New York, Connecticut, Alabama and Virginia — will be on hand to meet with health department staff, board of health members, community partners and others regarding the programs of the health department, the com- munity health assessment and community health improvement plan completed as part of the accreditation process, and how the health department meets the needs of the community. In 2019, the health department submitted hundreds of documents to PHAB as part of the accreditation process. Those documents have been under review and needed adjustments have been submitted as requested, explained Health Department Administrator Courtney Midkiff and Accreditation Coordinator Michelle Willard. More than 20 policies and plans had to be created and put in place as part of the accreditation process, including the Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. Willard and Midkiff thanked all of those who 740-992-1720.

McConnell agreed he does not have the votes to do that. “There is little or no sentiment in the Republican conference for a motion to dismiss,” McConnell said. ‘’Our members feel we have an obligation to listen to the arguments.” In fact, a mounting number of senators say they want to ensure the ground rules include the possibility of calling new witnesses. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine is leading an effort among some Republicans, including Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska for witness votes. “My position is that there should be a vote on whether or not witnesses should be called,” Collins said. Romney said he wants to hear from John Bolton, the former national security adviser at the White House, who others have said raised alarms about the alternative foreign policy toward Ukraine being run by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Democrats have been pushing Republicans, who have a slim Senate majority, to consider new testimony, arguing that fresh information has emerged during Pelosi’s monthlong delay in transmitting the charges. “We want the truth,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Tuesday as the chamber opened. He said that in other presidential impeachment trials the Senate called witnesses. “Do Senate Republicans want to break the lengthy historical precedent?” Thursday, Jan. 16 Monday, Jan. 20 Friday, Jan. 17 closed for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Even the most disciplined of us face the challenge to have the tenacity to stick to it and bring those resolutions to closure. For those of us who work in and around education, we were quite sure that the students would return Greg after the holiday, and they did. Oliver Now our job is to recapture their Contributing focus and provide for them learncolumnist ing situations that stimulate them to reach new heights both socially and academically. It is not an easy chore to instill a vision and a passion for learning into every student that shows up for school. One thing is for sure, we need the support from every parent and community member in order to be the least bit successful in the classrooms of 2020. Surprisingly, the research shows that today’s teachers say that the tuned-out teens are a bigger threat than violence, drugs, and limited school funding. Teachers seem to lay the blame for disengaged and unmotivated youth at the door of the student’s home. There seems to be a perception that today’s parents are dangerously out of touch with what is gong on with the educational plan for their own children. If this is in fact the case, then parents will be perhaps unwilling, unable, and unprepared to help their children with their school work. I believe that if parents are alienated from their children’s lives, how can we expect young people to develop the kind of values that will help them succeed in school and adult life? I would propose to all parents of school-age children, the following new year’s resolutions to both your children and to the teachers who you have entrusted with your most precious contribution in life: 1. Be more willing and able to spend more time with your children. 2. Become more involved with what’s going on in the school were your children attend. 3. Continue to be that positive, ethical, and morally upright role model that today’s youth so desperately need. Say positive things. 4. Be less self-centered and much more attentive of the things that affect your school-age kids. 5. Be much more demanding with the expectations that you have for your children. 6. Frequently monitor their homework and limit the amount of down time that you allow them to have. It is easy to allow your kids to lock themselves in their room with videos and gaming. 7. Get to know each one of their friends. Screen who they spend time with. Know everything that you can about their parents. Spending time with wrong people can very quickly spell disaster for a student without focus. 8. Get to know each of the teachers that face your child daily. They genuinely care. Nice communications with them go a long way! 9. Be sure that proper rest and nutrition are a part of your daily prescription for success of your student 10. Listen with your heart and not just with your ears. The youth of today are craving to be listened to and to feel validated. So often we tune them out instead of taking time to be their valued friend. Joining hands together, we as parents and teachers alike, can begin this new year with a common resolution; to be better at making the difference in the life of our most precious natural resource……the leaders of tomorrow. We, as educators are the most fortunate of all who labor. Whereas a doctor can usher life into the world in one magic moment, we teachers can see life reborn each day with new questions, ideas, and new friendships. Treasure that opportunity. A carpenter is aware that if he builds with care, his building will stand for centuries. We as teachers know that if we build with love and truth, what we can build will last forever. Daily the teacher is asked to do battle against enormous peer pressure, negativity, prejudice, ignorance, and most of all fear. But as we begin the year together, let us draw upon our allies: Curiosity, Individuality, Creativity, Faith, Love, Laughter, and Prayer. In this brand-new year, let’s hope that parental and community support will rush to assist us, and that we re-affirm our love for students — and we thank God each day that we can call ourselves — a TEACHER! Greg Oliver served as teacher and administrator on the Laurel Oaks campus from 1973-1985, principal at East Clinton High School 1985-1989, and still works in education as Specialist of Alliances and Partnerships with Pearson Education, with a remote office in Wilmington, Ohio. THEIR VIEW A brief overview of one mother At holidays, I miss my mother. Opal Moore Adams Bowling was overweight, sloppy in her appearance, and never saw a household task she was eager to take on. Picture her in a modest home in a small town in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Dirty dishes in the kitchen sink; piles of soiled clothes in, on, and around the washing machine; and beds only made up when the sheets were washed. My mother had no time for mundane tasks as she was busy teaching her children, volunteering in her community, and living a life inspired by nature. She had excellent teachers at Benham High School and was eager to share her knowledge with her children, so she spoke to us regularly in French. As we sat on the front porch in the evening, she identified the constellations: Big Dipper, Little Dipper, North Star, Taurus (That’s my sign). She loved the sciences and told us about phrenology, a belief that the size and shape of the skull could determine a person’s character and mental abilities. She and we were particularly interested in the craniums of persons destined to be criminals. Mother had played basketball during high school , so when we listened to the University of Kentucky Wildcats on the radio, she was right there with us. She explained what we didn’t know and regaled us with tales of her own coach. had no resources.

Am I like my mother? I hope so in terms of her character and her teaching ability. Can I grow plants? No, but my interest in them led me to a biology minor as an undergraduate. Do I play a musical instrument? No, but I have four mountain dulcimers hanging on my living room wall. Do I still follow the UK Wildcats. Yes, and I’ve read Coach Calipari’s book Players First: Coaching from the Inside Out. Can I type? I’ve learned what I need to know, but I still “hunt and peck.” Do I speak a second language? I’ve tried Latin, German, and Spanish, and I’m terrible with all three. All four of my mother’s children have graduate degrees and have held responsible jobs, so I’d say that she did most things right. All of her children have children, and all the children are fine human beings. In obvious ways, I’m probably most like my mother in terms of my belief that there are more important tasks in my life than housework. Enough said. Vivian B. Blevins.

VATICAN CITY — Ever since Benedict XVI announced he would become the first pope in 600 years to resign, Catholic theologians, canon lawyers and others warned of the potential confusion in having two popes living side by side in the Vatican, one reigning, the other retired but calling himself “emeritus pope” and still wearing the white cassock of the papacy. Their worst fears came true this week. In a saga befitting the Oscarnominated movie “The Two Popes,” Benedict co-wrote a book reaffirming the “necessity” of a celibate priesthood. There was nothing novel with his position, but the book is coming out at the same time Pope Francis is weighing whether to ordain married men in the Amazon because of a priest shortage there. The implications of Benedict’s intervention were grave, since the issue of priestly celibacy is perhaps the most consequential and controversial decision on the current pope’s agenda. It raised the specter of a parallel magisterium, or official church teaching, at a time when the church is already polarized between conservatives longing for the orthodox purity of Benedict’s reign and progressives cheering Francis’ liberalizing reforms. “It’s one thing to publish, as a private citizen, a book about Jesus as Benedict did before he resigned,” the Rev. Jean-Francois Chiron, a theologian at the University of Lyon, wrote in the French Catholic daily La Croix. “It’s another thing to take sides in important, current questions facing the universal church.” On Tuesday, Benedict distanced himself from the publication and asked to be removed as the coauthor of the book, “From the Depths of Our Hearts,” which is coming out in French on Wednesday and in English next month. Benedict’s longtime secretary, Archbishop Georg Gaenswein, said that there had been a “misunderstanding” with his co-author, Cardinal Robert Sarah of Guinea, and that while Benedict contributed an essay to the book, he never intended to be listed as the co-author. That should have closed the matter, albeit imperfectly. However, the book’s English-language publisher, Ignatius Press, refused to back down, saying the book Gregorio Borgia | AP file Pope Francis, right, hugs Pope Benedict XVI before a meeting with elderly faithful in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican in 2014. Retired Pope Benedict XVI has broken his silence to reaffirm the value of priestly celibacy, co-authoring a bombshell book at the precise moment that Pope Francis is weighing whether to allow married men to be ordained to address the Catholic priest shortage. would carry Benedict’s name as co-author. In a statement, the San Francisco-based Ignatius said it had worked from the text provided by French publisher Fayard, which listed two authors contributing a chapter apiece and a jointly written introduction and conclusion. “Ignatius Press considers this a coauthored publication,” it said. Ignatius, Fayard and all other publishers clearly have more to gain selling a book authored by a former pope than one written by a Vatican cardinal. Benedict’s association with the book was surprising, given that he had vowed to live “hidden from the world” when he stepped down in 2013, precisely to avoid any suggestion that he still wielded papal authority. But the controversy made clear once again that the unprecedented reality of a retired and reigning pope still has some wrinkles to be ironed out. Some commentators have called for new rules for future retired popes, including not allowing them to be called “emeritus pope” or wear the papal white cassock, to remove all real and symbolic associations with the papacy. Instead, they said, they should be called “emeritus bishops of Rome,” wear the traditional black of the priesthood and revert back to their pre-papal names. Site Others noted that the lines in Benedict’s case were particularly blurred — and should be corrected in any future papal abdications — because of Gaenswein’s dual role: He is both Benedict’s private secretary and the prefect of Francis’ papal household. Villanova University theologian Massimo Faggioli said the main problem has been that Benedict and his entourage have been winging it for seven years, making up the office of the “emeritus pope” as they go, answerable to no one and regulated by no rules. “Just as no one is in charge of accepting the pope’s resignation, no one was in charge either of telling Benedict XVI what he could and couldn’t wear, where he could live, what kind of entourage he could have,” Faggioli wrote in the National Catholic Reporter. He noted that retired bishops at least have official Vatican guidelines to live by. The guidelines, which are available on the Vatican website, read: “The bishop emeritus will be careful not to interfere in any way, directly or indirectly, in the governance of the diocese. He will want to avoid every attitude and relationship that could even hint at some kind of parallel authority to that of the diocesan bishop, with damaging consequences for the pastoral life of and unity of the diocesan community.” processes and community engagement of the health department, explained Willard.

The Lady Raiders (8-7) had 10 different players reach the scoring column while notching their second straight win, as the hosts held the Lady Knights (1-10) without a field goal for more than eight minutes at the start of regulation. Hannah Jacks and Payton Crabtree each poured in six points as the Silver and Black jumped out to an early 13-point cushion, but PPHS countered with eight points from Tayah Fetty as part of a small 12-11 second quarter run that closed the halftime deficit down to 25-13.

They’re a team that’s really hot, playing really good football right now, so we know it’s going to take our best effort. And, whatever way, we’ve got to find a way to win. That’s the biggest thing you saw here today was we’ve just got to find a way no matter what.” No. 6 seed Tennessee (11-7) won its second straight road playoff game with a similar approach: feed Derrick Henry. The standout running back dominated in New England in the wild-card round and was again unstoppable at Baltimore. Henry is the first player with two games of 175 rushing yards or more in the same postseason. He has set the postseason single-game rushing record for the Titans in consecutive weeks. He also has the most yards rushing through his first four postseason games at 561. And, get this, he threw a 3-yard touchdown jump pass at Baltimore — the first by a running back in the playoffs since 1987, when Allen Rice of Minnesota managed it. “It’s going to be grind, grind, grind and then he’s going to bust one,” Titans coach Mike Vrabel said. Tennessee’s defense isn’t likely to collapse the way Houston’s did, and the Titans almost certainly will stick with their so-far highly successful game plan of controlling matters on the ground. WEDNESDAY EVENING 10 (WBNS) Tomcats Lynch scored two touchdowns. The 49ers (14-3) romped past Minnesota 27-10 on Saturday with a balanced performance. They set a franchise playoff record by allowing only 147 yards to the Vikings. Jimmy Garoppolo threw a TD pass on his opening drive as a playoff starter and then mostly watched his defense and running game (186 yards) take over. Two turnovers also hurt Minnesota, and Tevin Coleman rushed for 105 yards and two scores. AFC The Chiefs secured their place Sunday by getting four touchdown passes from Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. Mahomes threw for five scores, three to star tight end Travis Kelce.Damien Williams also scored three times and secondseeded KC (13-4) never was challenged after taking the lead at halftime. “I mean, it was an amazing thing. Everything was working,” Mahomes said. “The play calls were open, everybody was getting open against man coverage which we’ve been preaching all season long, and guys were making plays.” So now it’s on to hosting the AFC championship contest again; the Chiefs lost in overtime to the Patriots a year ago. The last time Kansas City and Tennessee met was also the last time the Chiefs were beaten, 35-32 in Nashville on Nov. 10. Ryan Tannehill threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Adam Humphries with 23 seconds left, and Joshua Kalu blocked a lastsecond field goal attempt.

The contract, which begins this season and runs through 2027, will pay players an average of $130,000 and guarantees full salaries while on maternity leave. The collective bargaining agreement also provides enhanced family benefits, travel standards and other health and wellness improvements. “I call it historic,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a phone interview. “The CBA guarantees substantial (financial) increases. The way we are paying these players is different than the past. … The top couple players are tripling (in pay) where they were. Other players are making $200,000-300,000. The average will be over $130,000. Everyone gets an increase here.” The deal was overwhelmingly approved by players and must still be ratified by owners. It calls for 50-50 revenue sharing starting in 2021, based on the league achieving revenue growth targets from broadcast agreements, marketing partnerships and licensing deals. “I was adamant on the 50-50 target,” Engelbert said. “The league and players work together to market this league so we can share revenue with the (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN players. We have to hit some targets.” The salary cap will go up 31% to $1.3 million in the first year — up from $996,000 and another $750,000 in prize money for special competitions arrives in 2021. Under this deal, the maximum base salary would increase to $215,000 from $117,500. “You can pay your stars. That’s how the league grows,” Engelbert said. This will be the fifth CBA for the WNBA, which launched in 1997. Like the last one, there is a mutual opt-out provision after six years. The CBA also proposes a minimum of $1.6 million in offseason league and team marketing agreements that would (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN VILLAGE OF POMEROY WATER METER REPLACEMENT LEGAL NOTICE- INVITATION TO BID Sealed Bids will be received for furnishing all labor, materials and equipment necessary to complete a project known as Village of Pomeroy Water Meter Replacement at the Village of Pomeroy Office (the “OWNER”), 660 E.

The rookie scale for the Nos. 1-4 picks will rise to $68,000 — an increase of about $15,000 from this year — plus the ability to qualify for leagueguaranteed money under the marketing agreement. “It was collaborative effort,’” WNBA players’ union president Nneka Ogwumike said. “I think that we really all had the same things in mind and had different way of getting there. We really put our heads together and came with some ideas.” Ogwumike said the labor pact provides more financial incentive for players to stay in the offseason instead of playing overseas. Former league MVP Breanna Stewart tore an Achilles tendon overseas last year and missed the entire WNBA season. Diana Taurasi sat out a season a few years ago because her Russian team was paying her more than $1 million and wanted her to rest. “This agreement is reflective of the game growing and the league growing and then the revenue share will grow,” Ogwumike said. “Revenue sharing is putting your best foot forward.” Engelbert said the additional money needed to fund the CBA will come from a variety of sources. “Teams and owners are stepping up. The league is stepping up,” said the commissioner, who started last July.

Hinch and Luhnow were fired Monday after being suspended by Major League Baseball for the team’s illicit use of electronics to steal signs during Houston’s run to the 2017 World Series title and again in the 2018 season. In U.S. sports’ largest scandal since the New England Patriots’ “Spygate,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the discipline and strongly hinted that Cora — the Astros bench coach in 2017 — will face equal or more severe punishment. Manfred said Cora developed the sign-stealing system used by the Astros. The Red Sox are under investigation for stealing signs in Cora’s first season as manager in 2018, when Boston won the World Series. Houston was fined $5 million, the maximum allowed under the Major League Constitution, as punishment. The Astros will also forfeit their next two first- and second-round amateur draft picks. The investigation found that the Astros used the video feed from a center field camera to see and decode the opposing catcher’s signs. Players banged on a trash can to signal to batters what was coming, believing it would improve the batter’s odds of getting a hit. Sign stealing is a legal and timehonored part of baseball as long as it is done with the naked eye — say, by a baserunner standing on second. Using technology is prohibited. Astros players disputed whether knowing the pitches seconds in advance helped batters. Houston had fewer wins at home than on the road, winning 94 home games and 110 on the road during the two seasons. There was no signstealing system on the road. “While it is impossible to determine whether the conduct actually impacted the results on the field, the perception of some that it did causes significant harm to the game,” Manfred said. Manfred, in his most significant action since becoming commissioner five years ago, said Hinch failed to stop the sign stealing and Luhnow was responsible for the players’ conduct even though he made the dubious claim OH-70167574 The official tourism guide to Meigs County Pomeroy Daily Sentinel and Meigs Chamber of Commerce Contact Brenda or Sarah at 740-444-4293 www.mydailysentinel.com TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 41° 53° 59° Mild today; a shower in the afternoon.

Manfred said owner Jim Crane was not informed. An hour after MLB announced its punishment, Crane opened a news conference by saying Hinch and Luhnow were fired. “I have higher standards for the city and the franchise, and I’m going above and beyond MLB’s penalty,” he said. “We need to move forward with a clean slate.” Both Luhnow’s and Hinch’s suspensions for the 2020 season were to be without pay. Crane said he will look outside the organization and internally for candidates to replace Luhnow. If he hires internally, the most likely candidate would be Pete Putila, who was promoted to assistant general manager this offseason. Crane, who said he learned of the discipline this weekend, was visibly upset during Monday’s news conference and insisted that Houston’s championship, which culminated in a seven-game World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers, was not tainted. “We want to be known as playing by the rules,” he said. “We broke the rules. We accept the punishment and we’re going to move forward … if you read the report neither (Luhnow or Hinch) implemented this or pushed it through the system and (it) really came from the bottom up.” Hinch’s penalty was among the longest for an MLB manager. Brooklyn’s Leo Durocher was suspended for one year by Commissioner Happy Chandler in April 1947 for the “accumulation of unpleasant incidents” detrimental to baseball, and Cincinnati’s Pete Rose was banned for life by Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti in August 1989 for betting on Reds’ games while managing the team. Houston was a big league-best 204120 during the two years in question, winning its first title. Hinch, a 45-yearold former catcher with a degree from Stanford, was the most successful manager in the history of the Astros, who have won two of the last three AL pennants and came within one victory of another World Series title last year against Washington. Luhnow, 53, earned an MBA at Northwestern and fostered an analytic-based culture during eight seasons as Astros GM, but also a toxic one with high turnover.
