Sheriff ’s office to add new cruisers RACINE — “More volunteers would mean helping more children,” Jeff McElroy told the packed room. Kelly The supporter of the organization introduced Tracy Kelly, executive director of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Athens, to a recent Meigs County Commissioner’s meeting. He praised the mentoring program as worthy of the area’s support. McElroy, who coaches football in Meigs and is involved in other philanthropic efforts, said “a tremendous amount of good comes from this,” but that in covering several counties with limited resources, “there’s a lot of hustle in what they do.” Kelly deﬁned her goals in Meigs simply: Getting the word out. “We’ve served Meigs for several years, but have never recruited the numbers (of mentors) we would like to see,” she said. Big Brothers/Big Sisters is a non-proﬁt founded in Cincinnati well over 100 years ago. Now a national organization, the Athens branch operates in Athens, Vinton, Washington and Meigs counties.

These can be very simple things — the park, movies, assisting with homework, a bicycle ride.” Kelly said southern Ohio is awash with children in need. “In our four counties, we pair 300 kids a year who are ‘at-risk’ children. Eighty percent are below the federal poverty limit, and 12 percent have one or both parents incarcerated.” She said there is a growing wait list in Meigs, which includes several candidates in Racine. “Finding volunteers is much more challenging than ﬁnding applicants,” Kelly said. “There are a lot of children facing adversity in our service area.” Poverty and home instability have scientiﬁcally documented negative effects on all aspects of life, including school performance and health. For kids frequently moving between relatives and schools, Kelly argues having one constant can have an outsized effect. “The impact we see from only a little time spent is dramatic. You wonder, how did that much really help? Just having someone to talk to can be enough,” she said. Mentors are adults of all ages who have ties to the area, and BB/BS attempts to match within the community. Standard background checks and some training go into screening volunteers. The organization keeps in touch with all parties, ensuring compatibility following a match. Some mentors, like Meigs native Katlyn Sauvage, already have a full plate. Headed into her second year of graduate school, she decided the low hourly obligation was well worth the effort. “I was an only child and never got to experience having siblings,” she said. “When I discovered Meigs had a program, I was not sure so I went to the ofﬁce to get more information. It is not too big of a commitment, and I made my decision once I saw the size of the wait list.” Mentors run the full spectrum of life experience. BB/BS makes an effort to recruit retirees because of their personal stability and ﬂexible scheduling. Kelly said hesitation from some potential volunteers is misplaced, but that instead, “Everyone wants a friend. For example, a retiree may not be sure a kid will want to Sunday, August 7, 2016 3A Courtesy photos Kids just enjoy being kids. have them as a mentor — that is almost never true. Adults have more experience, more to draw on to advise in difﬁcult situations. I’ve found retirees make some of the most successful role models.” Kelly has further meetings planned with local leadership, and the Meigs Board of Commissioners formally recognized the organization for expanding to assist Meigs County children. She hopes the engagement efforts will translate. “It’s very, very important that we increase the number of mentors. To someone even on the fence, please just call. I love to answer questions,” she said. ”There are not a lot of programs where four hours can make such a difference.” To volunteer or suggest a child for mentorship, contact Kelly at 740-7970037 or visi www.bbbsaBig sisters give little sisters someone to talk to. thens.org.

As a high school student in rural Mason County, Tyler Sharp said the program was invaluable to him. “I’d have been lost without the help they freely and happily provided,” he said. Sharp is a graduate of the Heart of Appalachia Talent Search Program and now works as a counselor in the Ofﬁce of Admissions at Marshall. The $284,000 in new funding for the HATS program will serve 600 students in Mason and Wayne County middle and high schools. “We look forward to implementing new services and further engaging students in the Marshall community,” said Angela Holley, director of the HATS program. The programs are funded by the U.S. Department of Education under the umbrella of Federal Trio programs.

Search program serving Cabell County has received $260,000 in additional funding to serve 542 students. Heather Warren is director of that program. The two talent search programs identify and assist students who have the potential to succeed in higher education. Particular emphasis is focused on students who are the ﬁrst in their family to go to college and/or who may come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The programs provide academic, career and ﬁnancial aid counseling to participants, and encourage them to graduate from high school and continue on to college. The programs publicize the availability of ﬁnancial aid and assist students with the college application process. “Nobody in my family had ever been to college before me,” Sharp said. “I was the ﬁrst in my entire family, immediate and extended, to go to and graduate from college. The HATS program, its counselors, and Angela Holley in particular, all stepped in and helped guide me through all the intricacies of getting prepared for college. “They helped with everything from study skills and other tips for success to prepare us academically, as well as guiding us through the process of obtaining ﬁnancial aid, applying for scholarships, submitting applications, and seeing us off to college. My parents would have loved to have helped me through all this, but they were just as unfamiliar with the complexities of preparing for college as I was. HATS stepped in and ﬁlled the void.” Sharp said one of the highlights of his high school career was a HATS bus trip to Nashville, Tenn. “I made new friends and got to play on the same piano that Elvis Presley played on many of his records because of that trip,” Sharp said. “I owe a lot of gratitude toward Angela Holley and the HATS staff. I’d absolutely recommend participation in the HATS program.” Sharp is just one of many of the programs’ successful graduates. Cody Call works in Marshall’s Student Financial Assistance ofﬁce as a graduate student and Summer Stover works as an academic advisor for the Buck Harless Student Athlete Program. Dustin Stover, a former HATS student and Summer’s brother, is now an equipment manager for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles.

It was this past Sunday morning in my adult Sunday school class. I had begun a short series comparing and contrasting different world religions. The books were from many of those religions, and my Bible was, as always, on the pulpit in front of me. In previous years it had begun to be somewhat popular for preachers to say or infer that all religions are equally valid and beneﬁcial. In our day, the line has been moved even further into error; preachers now often give the message that all religions are actually they same, their adherents just do not realize it. All gods by all names are viewed as merely different manifestations of the same God, and all books revered as holy are merely different ways that God has manifested himself. It is the old wagon wheel illustration; different spokes, but all leading to the same place — the center. Truth, by its very nature, is exclusionary. When one ﬁnds what is true, that which is contradictory is thereby easily identiﬁable as false. Since two plus two equals four, we know that two above that which plus two does not he has created. equal seven or Other books and three or ﬁve.

Many other religions are polytheistic, as to say that those who reject their message are to believing that there are be forced to convert, and millions of gods. The Bible says that God is the killed if they apostatize. The totality of world author of creation, and far religions is therefore not at all like a wagon wheel. They all start at different points, take radically different paths, and end at different destinations. Our question then becomes, which one is correct? The God who made us has clearly made us to seek him out, and therefore has surely left us a revelation of himself for us to follow. We live in a free country, and everyone is welcome to peacefully and respectfully speak up as to why they believe their religion is the correct one. What one cannot logically do is claim that things which are in diametrical opposition to each other in so many essential aspects are all correct or even somehow the same thing. Having read many, many books from religions ranging from popular to obscure, and having studied their founders and history, I have concluded that what Jesus said of himself in John 14:6 is utterly, thoroughly true, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Bo Wagner is pastor of the Cornerstone Baptist Church of Mooresboro, N.C., a widely traveled evangelist, and the author of several books.

THEIR VIEW Honoring beneficiaries of Social Security Social Security is committed to the principles and spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which improves the lives of our beneﬁciaries and our employees who have disabilities. We also want you to see and hear from the people who rely on Social Security disability beneﬁts to not just survive, but thrive, as active members of our communities. Our Faces and Facts of Disability website highlights the real life stories of people who have disabilities.

The Marauders, going against overwhelmingly Central Ohio clubs, took 12th out of 15 teams at the challenging seasonopener at Hocking Hills Golf Club in Logan.

Chapman played the number-one position for the Marauders, as two- man Chase Whitlatch was next with a 94 — followed by three-man Wyatt Nicholson with a 98. Bobby Musser — the Marauders’ ﬁfth spot — managed a 102 to count towards the top four scores, which make up the team total. Bryce Swatzel shot a 123 to round out the Maroon and Gold.

Those projects, along with future upgrades of wall padding and the installation of new backboards and rims on all ﬁxtures, shows that Point Pleasant is once again focused being the best it can be on the basketball court. “It was only four years ago that we made back-to-back appearances in the state tournament, but the move triple-A did hurt a little of the momentum we had moving forward,” Williams said. “Now that we are headed back down to double-A, we really want to build that momentum back up and make this program what it was not long ago. “We feel that we can start to get our identity back as a bas- Wahama Lady Falcons August 31 vs. Hannan, 6 p.m. September 6 at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. 7 at Federal Hocking, 6 p.m. 8 vs. Miller, 6 p.m. 12 at Belpre, 6 p.m. 13 vs. Waterford, 6 p.m. 15 at South Gallia, 6 p.m. 19 vs. Trimble, 6 p.m. 20 vs. Southern, 6 p.m. 22 at Eastern, 6 p.m. 26 vs. Ohio Valley Christian, 7 p.m. 27 vs. Federal Hocking, 6 p.m. 29 at Miller, 6 p.m. October 3 vs. Belpre, 6 p.m. 4 at Waterford, 6 p.m.. 6 vs. South Gallia, 6 p.m. 10 at Trimble, 6 p.m. 11 at Southern, 6 p.m. 13 vs. Eastern, 6 p.m. 17 vs. Point Pleasant, Williamstown, 6 p.m. 20 at Hannan, 6 p.m. 29 at Ravenswood, noon ketball school this year, so we are hoping a new look and some major upgrades will help get this process started.

New lights — a brighter system that uses less energy — have been installed in both PPJSHS gymnasiums this summer, as well as in the gymnasiums at Wahama and Hannan high schools as part of funding received for upgrades within the Mason County School system. New lighting has also been installed in the hallways and classrooms of most of the older buildings in the county. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-4462342, ext. 2101.

Brady said his decision not to pursue his appeal of a four-game suspension in the “Deflategate” saga was “a personal decision.” The four-time Super Bowl winner spoke for the first time Friday at New England’s training camp. He is allowed to practice with the team and play in the Patriots’ preseason games, but will miss the first four regular-season games. Brady: No appeal ‘a personal decision’ FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Addressing reporters for the ﬁrst time since opting not to pursue further appeals of his four-game suspension in the “Deﬂategate” saga, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady called it a personal decision and said he is trying to move on. The four-time Super Bowl winner spoke to the media Friday at New England’s training camp. He is allowed to practice with the team and play in the Patriots’ preseason games but will miss the ﬁrst four regular-season games. “I tried to come out here and just focus on what I need to do to get better and help our team,” he said. “I’ll be excited to be back when I’m back, and I’ll be cheering our team on, hoping they can go out and win every game.” Brady was suspended for his role in the use of deﬂated footballs in the 2014 AFC championship win over Indianapolis. He initially won a court appeal, but that was overturned, and Brady chose not to continue the legal ﬁght. The 39-year-old led the league with 36 touchdown passes last season. He must be away from the team beginning Sept. 3, the day of ﬁnal cuts, and can return on Oct. 3, the day after the Patriots’ fourth game of the season, against AFC East rival Buffalo. The ﬁrst game for which Brady will be eligible is Oct. 9 at Cleveland. The suspension will snap his streak of 126 consecutive games played — 112 in the regular season and 14 playoff games. Asked if it was a difﬁcult decision not to pursue legal avenues to dismiss the suspension imposed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Brady replied: “I think it’s just personal and I’ve tried to move on from it so I try to, like I said, focus on the positive and being out here with my teammates and getting better. I don’t want to go out and do anything but try to be a great example for your teammates, and we’ve got a lot of competitive guys that are down here on the prac- tice ﬁeld, and I think that’s where the focus needs to be.” Brady cited the support he’s received from the Patriots, his family and fans throughout the process. He would not say if he was angry at Goodell for the punishment. “I have a job to do and I try to approach it the best way I can,” Brady said. “I’ve always tried to do things the same way and every day’s important to me. Certainly, as someone who’s been around here a long time, I know I’ve got to bring it every day, and I think I just try to go out there and lead by example, try to bring it and show my teammates that I’m ready to go mentally and physically every day.” Brady would not say whether the suspension has changed the way he’s preparing in training camp. He seemed especially vocal during the morning practice session, an intrasquad scrimmage. “Honestly, I’m just trying to be as good as I can be every day,” he said. “And I think that making improvements in certain areas, and we’ve tried to make them when they changed our offense. And we’ve got a lot of new players on the team and we’re just trying to incorporate them. So I feel like we’re building toward something. And we’ve got a lot of meaningful preseason games coming up that we have to see some improvements in, and we’ve got a lot of practices left. It’s a long season, so it’s just going to be a lot of hard work and discipline and effort, and like I said, I’m going to go out and do the best that I can do.” Brady said he is trying not to think about what it will be like to be away from his team. He would not say how he plans to spend his time away from the Patriots. “I try to just be as positive as I can be,” he said. “I think that’s kind of always been my motto. I know over the course of my career I’ve been faced with different things and tried to overcome them the best way I could or the best way I knew how and I’ll try to do the same thing.” McCown reportedly a trade target for Dallas BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Josh McCown knows he might not be in Cleveland much longer. That hasn’t diminished his focus on helping the Browns to get better. McCown is reportedly a trade target for the Dallas Cowboys, who are looking to replace recently injured backup quarterback Kellen Moore. The quarterback has discussed the situation with the Browns’ front ofﬁce and said that everyone involved is “on the same page.” “I’m aware of it,” McCown said of the reported trade rumors. “My job and my heart is here and doing everything I can to help the Cleveland Browns be good.” Browns coach Hue Jackson said that he didn’t have anything to report regarding the rumors and indicated that the team would be upfront with McCown if any moves were to be made. “I would hope that we do that with every player,” Jackson said. “We’re very forthcoming. At the end, we’re always going to do what’s best for us but in respect to the player.” Moore fractured the ﬁbula in his right leg in practice on Tuesday, leaving a void behind quarterback Tony Romo. Without the four-time Pro Bowler, the Cowboys are 1-14 since 2014. Following the injury to Moore, Dallas reportedly turned its attention to McCown, who played in eight games and threw for 2,109 yards with 12 touchdowns for the Browns in 2015. The 37-year-old’s season was cut short after he broke his collarbone in a 33-27 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 30. The respected veteran is in a competition with Robert Grifﬁn III for the starting job in Cleveland, but hasn’t seen many reps with the ﬁrst-team offense thus far in camp. Grifﬁn is expected to be selected as the starter before Cleveland’s ﬁrst exhibition game on Aug. 12, but that hasn’t changed McCown’s mindset as the competition continues. “We’re all about helping each other and helping each other play at a high level,” McCown said. “No matter what the reps are, what everything is, we just come out and compete and push one another.” Jackson said on Wednesday that McCown has been instrumental in helping Grifﬁn to improve and that the veteran is very important to the Browns. The quarterback’s ability to mentor, however, won’t guarantee him a spot on Cleveland’s 53-man roster. “In my honest opinion that has nothing to do with him remaining on the team,” Jackson said. “That’ll be an organizational decision about all of our quarterbacks. … It’s about what’s best for our organization.” While McCown’s on-ﬁeld contributions were key for the Browns last season, his off-ﬁeld actions endeared him quickly to his teammates, who hope the rumors don’t become reality. “Having him in the locker room is a great thing,” offensive tackle John Greco said. “That’s the business end of it, so I can just only hope he’s with us.” While McCown has tried to avoid the trade noise as much as possible, the Jacksonville, Texas, native has been inundated with phone calls and text messages from his family in Texas. He admitted too that he grew up a Cowboys fan. “I’ve worn No. 12 most of my career because of Roger Staubach,” McCown said. “Obviously the Cowboys, if you grew up in Texas, is near and dear to everybody’s heart.” Though the Sam Houston State product will always have a soft spot for the Cowboys, he has come to enjoy Cleveland in his short time with the Browns. “Once you cross over into the business portion of this life, those allegiances kind of ﬂy out the window and you have a job to do,” McCown said. “You spend ﬁve minutes in this city and it’s easy to be all-in, because of how the people feel about this team.” NOTES: OL Cam Erving (forearm), TE Gary Barnidge (sports hernia), WR Andrew Hawkins (hamstring) CB Tramon Williams (rest) and OT Joe Thomas (rest) were amongst the players held out of practice on Thursday. … Greco returned to practice after missing the ﬁrst ﬁve of camp with a hamstring injury. … Rookie OT Spencer Drango took most of the ﬁrstteam reps at right tackle, replacing veteran OT Alving Bailey, who came into camp as the starter. Martin Truex Jr. signs 2-year extension with NASCAR team DENVER (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. has signed a two-year contract extension with Furniture Row Racing, keeping him with his NASCAR team through the 2018 season. The Denverbased operation also announced Thursday that Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Boats will increase their primary sponsorship on the No. 78 Toyota from 12 to 16 races in 2017. The outdoorsman giants served as Truex’s primary sponsors for his backto-back Xﬁnity Series championships (200405) and the ﬁrst three years of his Sprint Cup career (2006-08). They were reunited this season. “Martin has proved over and over that he is one of the blue-chip drivers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and we are elated that he will continue to drive our No. 78 Toyota,” Furniture Row Racing President Joe Garone said in a statement. The 36-year-old Truex already has clinched a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship this season. He has one win, three topﬁve ﬁnishes and nine top-10s in 21 races. He also tops the Cup series with 1,005 laps led and ranks eighth in driver points. Truex has been Furniture Row’s driver since the start of the 2014 season. The New Jersey driver made the Chase last year and advanced to the ﬁnal four. “I am pleased that we’re going to continue our momentum from this season,” Truex said. “This is where I want to be, driving the No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Toyota. We’ve come a long way in a short period of time. There are many reasons to feel excited and optimistic about the future of our racing program. … “We deﬁnitely have the resources and talent to go after victories and championships.” For the best local sports coverage, visit MyDailyTribune.com PREMIUM E-LIQUIDS & VAPING DEVICES Respect the Journey Kits LI Batteries Tanks Coils RDA Accessories Supplies 740-208-5533 6LOYHU�%ULGJH�3OD]D��*DOOLSROLV��2+ next to Tractor Supply 60670640 �4B Sunday, August 7, 2016 Sunday Times-Sentinel 2016 READER’S CHOICE BEST OF THE BEST TRI-COUNTY VOTES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY AUGUST 15TH.

(AP) — Ezekiel Elliott leaves the ﬁeld to screams of “Zeeeeeke!” from autograph-seeking fans who haven’t even seen him carry the ball in a game yet for the Dallas Cowboys. The fourth overall pick in this year’s draft opened his ﬁrst training camp taking ﬁrst-team snaps before a mild hamstring strain put him on the sidelines with Darren McFadden, who led the team in rushing last season but still could be replaced as the starter Christopher E.

If he’s healthy and not sidelined over a domestic violence allegation in Ohio, Elliott is likely to begin his career in a way that Cowboys Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett didn’t: starting the opener as a rookie running back. Even if he doesn’t start in his debut, the former Ohio State star is the future of the running game for a once-proud franchise now 20 years removed from its last Super Bowl. He’s high on a list of non-quarterbacks that were taken in the ﬁrst two rounds and could play signiﬁcant roles right away. “I’m just doing what they’re asking me to do,” said Elliott, taken two spots after quarterbacks Jared Goff (Rams) and Carson Wentz (Eagles) went 1-2 in the draft. “At running back we’re down a couple bodies right now, but we got to come together and get in shape and lean on each other right now.” Elliott waited a day to face the expected swarm of reporters while knowing the conversation would quickly turn to the case in Columbus, Ohio, where his girlfriend accused him of assaulting her about a week before camp opened. The 21-year-old Elliott has denied the claims. Looking a bit winded at times during his ﬁrst two days in camp, Elliott also struggled with Ohio State’s school song and was forced into a second Laquon Treadwell, Minnesota The 23rd pick from Mississippi made an impression by frequently catching extra passes after practice and as — Ezekiel Elliott, the ﬁrst player to arrive Dallas running back on reporting day at camp.

The Area Agency on Aging District 7 is looking for community leaders to assist with facilitating its Chronic Disease and Diabetes self-management classes. Community, or lay, leaders will continue to support the classes in their individual communities after they complete training through the AAA7. An upcoming training is scheduled in Hillsboro beginning Aug. 15 for those individuals who are interested in serving as a lay leader in their community. Self-management programs for people with chronic conditions and diabetes are designed to help those with chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis and diabetes, learn to manage their conditions and take control of their health.

CDSMP and DSMP are six-session workshops that meet once a week where participants learn how to minimize symptoms such as fatigue, pain, stress and depression. It teaches skills for communication, managing medications, better breathing, and how to design your own self-management program. The program focuses on the participants’ role in managing their illnesses and building their conﬁdence so that they can be successful in adopting healthier behaviors. Workshops are highly interactive, where workshop leaders, as well as group members, provide support while learning new techniques for dealing with symptoms. To expand this evidence-based program, the AAA7 is looking for individuals to become trained lay leaders. Lay leaders are volunteers Self-management programs for people with chronic conditions and diabetes are designed to help those with chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, asthma, arthritis and diabetes, learn to manage their conditions and take control of their health. who typically have chronic conditions or diabetes themselves and conduct workshops using the prepared curriculum. They complete a training program where they are mentored by master trainers. An essential element to these six-session workshops is that they are held in community-based settings, such as senior centers, faith-based organizations and libraries, with most led by certiﬁed and trained lay leaders rather than medical professionals. The upcoming Lay Leader Training will take place in Hillsboro Aug. 15-17 and Aug. 22 for the CDSMP, and Aug. 23-24 for DSMP. The training will take place between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day at The Laurels of Hillsboro, located at 175 Chillicothe Ave. in Hillsboro. Those who are interested must attend all six days to be certiﬁed to lead the programs. Attendees will be provided with in-depth information needed to conduct the workshops and receive the materials at no cost. As all workshops are designed to be facilitated by two trainers, it is strongly suggested that you bring someone with you that you prefer to lead the classes with you. A pre-screening is required of all applicants who express an interest in serving as a lay leader.

Designation of the week of Aug. 7-13 offers communities an opportunity to recognize America’s health centers and their role in shaping the future of America’s health care system. Representatives from Hopewell Health Center Inc. in Pomeroy were in attendance at Thursday’s meeting. Amber Johnson, site manager, Kayla Skidmore and Kaitlin Liptrap, dental assistants, and Tracy Cundiff, front ofﬁce specialist, listened as Commissioner Tim Ihle read the proclamation. “For over 50 years, Community Health Centers have provided highquality, affordable health care in our nation’s under-served communities, demonstrating that locally governed healthcare can improve lives while lowering costs.” The proclamation went on to describe that what began as a small demonstration project in two states grew into the country’s largest primary care network. Health Centers now serve over 24 million Americans with more than 9,000 delivery sites across the nation, and stated, “Health Centers provide high-quality, cost-effective and accessible primary and preventive care, including integrated medical, oral, vision, behavioral health and pharmacy services, to all individuals regardless of insurance status or ability to pay.” Hopewell Health Center Meigs is located at 41865 Pomeroy Pike, Pomeroy.
