Jackie Morgan, 58, of Wagoner Road, was sentenced to ﬁve years of probation, 500 hours of community service and continuing mental health treatment in accordance with previous animal cruelty convictions earlier that year in a separate case. Morgan was also forbidden to have any animals in her possession or care. Of the 98 charges, 95 involved companion animals as ﬁrst degree misdemeanors and three were considered non-companion animals, the horses. City Solicitor Adam Salisbury, who represented the state, recommended no jail time be served in a plea arrangement as he felt it would not serve the public. The state felt Morgan had no malicious intent when housing animals in unsafe conditions but was responsible for gross negligence in the care of the animals. Salisbury did recommend community service time should be spent at the Gallia Dog Shelter. Gallipolis Municipal Judge Margaret Evans said the recommendation would be taken under advisement and considered before sentencing Morgan but she was not certain as to whether it was appropriate due to the nature of what had transpired with Morgan over the past year. The Gallia County Dog Warden, along with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and the Humane Society of the United States, pulled roughly 69 dogs and three horses from Morgan’s Wagoner Road residence Aug. 11 from crowded conditions with heavy sewage smells, unclean containment areas and limited access to food and water. Rescue workers spent the day documenting animals and taking several into emergency treatment. The animals were then shipped to an undisclosed location in Gallia County for closer inspection and care as legal proceedings continue. The animals were eventually moved to emergency placement partners of the Humane Society of the United Michael Hart photo Councilperson Shawn Rice and Administrator Joe Woodall discuss the Hartinger Park basketball hoops.

SOUTHSIDE, W.Va. — Construction continues on the completion of US Route 35 through Mason and Putnam Counties, including near the southern end of the project at Southside in Mason County, W.Va. A work site has been established along Cornstalk Road where construction has been ongoing. This construction of the 14.6-mile stretch of road is employing 300 people from construction and consulting companies, according to the West Virginia Division of Highways. This Route 35 upgrade will provide a four-lane highway from I-64 at Crooked Creek in Putnam County, W.Va. to the Ohio River at Hen- derson, W.Va. in Mason County. Currently, the road is only two lanes for 14.6 miles through Mason and Putnam counties. As previously reported by WVDOH, at $174.4 million, the project is the second-largest awarded contract in the agency’s history and its second public-private partnership. Bizzack Construction Inc., of Lexington, Ky. was awarded the project as the prime contractor last year. Assisting Bizzack are 14 subcontractors, 10 of which operate ofﬁces in West Virginia. Six consulting engineering companies, which also operate ofﬁces in the state, are assisting the prime contractor, according to WVDOH. Ground was broken on the project last October near the Buffalo Bridge in Putnam County. Speaking at that ceremony was West Virginia Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox who, at the time, said the completion of US 35 was “decades in the making.” Mattox See US 35 | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, December 2, 2016 JANE ANN SNOUFFER RIPLEY, W.Va. — Jane Ann Snouffer, 82 of Ripley, W.Va., passed away December 1, 2016 at Ravenswood Care Center following a long illness.

Little minds are subdued by misfortunes; great minds rise above them.” From page 1 — Washington Irving, American author (17831859) captive in Lebanon for more than ﬁve years, was released. Ten years ago: Fidel Castro failed to attend a military parade marking the 50th anniversary of the formation of Cuba’s Revolutionary Armed Forces, raising questions about his ability to return to power. A triple car bombing in a predominantly Shiite district of Baghdad killed dozens of people. A sport utility vehicle driven by actor Lane Garrison hit a tree in Beverly Hills, killing a 17-year-old passenger; Garrison was later sentenced to three years and four months in prison for drunken driving (he was paroled in April 2009). Five years ago: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi (ahng sahn soo chee) vowed to work together to promote democratic reforms in Suu Kyi’s long-isolated and authoritarian homeland. The Labor Department announced the unemployment rate had fallen to 8.6 percent in Nov. 2011, the lowest since March 2009. States in Maine, Ohio and West Virginia, where they received care and recuperated before being put up for adoption. The Citizens for Human Action Animal Shelter, Cleveland Animal Protective League, the Humane Society of Greater Akron, all in Ohio, as well as the Preston County Animal Shelter in West Virginia and the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society in Maine, obtained animals from the Wagoner Road rescue. One animal was adopted in Gallia County as part of an arrangement with the Gallia Canine Shelter. The three horses were forfeited to the care of New Beginnings Animal Center in Athens County. Two adult horses had been the subject of previous charges associated with Morgan as she was found to be in violation of not providing proper shelter for the horses on her property. One of the horses would later give birth in the year. All three of the horses were also considered part of the rescue case. Salisbury displayed photos and evidence gathered by the Humane Society of the United States in assistance with the Gallia Sheriff’s Ofﬁce. Salisbury said a variety of parasites and infections had been discovered in the animals documented to have been found in poorly maintained structures on the Wagoner Road prop- erty. Salisbury said there were approximately 1,100 photos. HSUS Field Responder Jennifer Hayes addressed the court next. She thanked the court for listening to the case. “As you can see from the pictures, the animals were obviously in a terrible state,” said Hayes.” However, your Honor, one of the things you can’t see is the smell. The state of the property is obviously not safe for the defendant or the animals. The majority, if not all of the animals, were found to have lived in those conditions were underweight due to lack of food and water with gross amounts of infestations and parasites, some of which had lead to secondary skin infections.” Neighbors of the Wagoner Property shared their experiences with battling what they claimed to be a massive rat problem attempting to infest their property due to the state of the Wagoner Road property as well as other issues for years. Bill Conley, Morgan’s defense counselor, claimed many of the animals Morgan kept were sick strays and that unknown individuals had dropped them off at the property and that few of them originally belonged to her. The defense claimed Morgan had attempted numerous times to reach out to rescues and the Gallia Canine Shelter but was met with resistance or statements saying they could not handle the ani- Ash Street Church mals at the time. Conley stressed that Morgan was an animal lover and her checkbook would reveal the amount of money she had spent in the animals’ care. Photos reveal dozens of animals had been found inside of structures at Morgan’s residence. Morgan shared Conley’s sentiment in a brief statement to the court. She said she refused to shoot animals on her property as she did not have the heart to see them die. Evans asked if there had been evidence to back whether calls had been made to agencies or rescues by Morgan for assistance. No speciﬁc phone listings or call records were produced during court proceedings as evidence. “If I’d have been a neighbor out there, I’d have called the police myself,” said Conley. “I wouldn’t put up with animals running the woods of my house and all the stuff that I just heard. She has tried to get help and was turned down and she wasn’t willing to shoot the dogs or do anything like that so she kept them. Now, that I don’t understand because I would have kept them for three days. If nobody would have helped me I would have shot each one of them.” “Although the damage to the animals and the neighbors cannot be undone, we are satisﬁed with the outcome of the case,” said Gallia Dog Warden Laurie Cardillo. “Everyone involved agrees that jail time would not in any way be of help to Ms. Morgan. However, Judge Evans imposed the maximum probation and community service, and we are pleased with the fact that she (Morgan) is ordered to not have animals of any kind. I would like ot thank the HSUS, Judge Evans, Prosecutor Jeff Adkins, City Solicitor Adam Salisbury, local law enforcement and all the neighbors who came togehter as a team and assisted to resolve this issue.” Dean Wright can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2103. is until Dec. 15th for Jan 1st effective date or Jan 15th for a Feb 1st effective date Invites everyone to Come Celebrate a Day of Thanksgiving on Sunday December 4th *Open Enrollment begins November for the Affordable Care Act Plans (Obama Care).

McCarthy, R-Wis., saying he had “acted contrary to senatorial ethics and tended to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute.” In 1961, Cuban leader Fidel Castro declared himself a Marxist-Leninist who would eventually lead Cuba to Communism. In 1970, the newly created Environmental Protection Agency opened its doors under its ﬁrst director, William D. Ruckelshaus. In 1980, four American churchwomen were raped and killed outside San Salvador. (Five El Salvador national guardsmen were later convicted of murdering nuns Ita Ford, Maura Clarke and Dorothy Kazel and lay worker Jean Donovan.) In 1982, in the ﬁrst operation of its kind, doctors at the University of Utah Medical Center implanted a permanent artiﬁcial heart in the chest of retired dentist Dr. Barney Clark, who lived 112 days with the device. In 1991, American hostage Joseph Cicippio (sih-SIHP’-ee-oh), held ing Hall after the program is over. The event is free for everyone.

It can be overwhelmingly full of the chores of shopping for gifts, cooking for family get-togethers, and decorating our trees. Not that it’s all bad, mind you. We love the excitement and expectancy of the season as we sing our Christmas carols, hang our Christmas lights, and send out our Christmas cards all while we wait for the fun of receiving our gifts and enjoy (hopefully) the giving of them. But perhaps what we love best about this time of year is the rekindling of hope in our hearts like a cold and dark ﬁreplace suddenly springing to new life when a small and hidden ember bursts into a cheery blaze that once again warms a home. Hope is an essential ingredient for life, its sweet savor making bearable and even pleasurable a dining table set with circumstances that we would otherwise ﬁnd unappealing and even revolting. Without hope, peace is an illusion, joy is hollow, and faith is empty. Hopelessness can be a spectral wraith haunting not only our dreams but also our waking moments, draining our labors of purpose and our suffering of meaning. It is probably obvious that hopelessness is rampant today. It not only wounds and wears upon those who have been overcome by sickness of body, but also men and women who are sound in body, but are afﬂicted with illnesses in hearts and minds that others cannot see. Hopelessness not only holds drug addicts in its ruthless and merciless grip, but also successful business people who have come to realize that they have acquired plenty of material beneﬁts but have not acquired any lasting fulﬁllment from them. Hopelessness not only torments victims of years of cycles of abuse, but also those who themselves possess power and prestige but have found such baubles to be pointless in affecting change in lasting and Thom Mollohan meaningful ways. Hope is something we desperately need, Contributing but so rarely ﬁnd and sustain in the dark Columnist watches of winter and in the long seasons of trials of this life. It is like the hoped for oasis in a sprawling desert after ﬁnding only mirages along the way. Hope is essential to every one of us no matter who we are or where we’ve been. But ironically everyone who is now tortured by the pangs of hopelessness once actually had hope… but such hope was placed in the wrong things. Our hopes are placed wrongly in our political leaders as we look to them to remedy our society’s hurts, yet they fail… either from their own corruption using our trust to advance their selﬁsh ambitions or from their own limitations as we ﬁnd them simply unable to do all that they promised. We place our hopes in education, but we ﬁnd that head knowledge cannot change hearts as it becomes clear that hurt, fear, prejudice, and violence continue. In a similar way, some of us place our hope in media in the belief that it can inform and inspire people to action. Often it does, but we have learned (from nearly a century of broadcast news) that often it is the wrong kind of action and that it is sometimes no more than a propaganda machine, uncommitted to truth but a skewed perception of things that leads us astray. There are so many other things in which we hope, yet time and again we ﬁnd that we have reached for mere phantoms. And each time we close our hands upon a promise that evaporates into nothingness, we are left a little more calloused and suspicious and even reluctant to endure the pain of once again placing our hope in something or someone. The ultimate tragedy is that when we are ﬁnally met by the Source of true hope, we often dare not believe it. On the day that God shows up in our circumstances, wooing us by His Spirit to forsake sin and become His child forever, we feel so burned and disappointed by our pasts that we listen to the lie that, “Surely this is not true. God cannot or will not love me.” This happens so often to us who have resisted His call and spent ourselves on things that appealed to our spiritually childish inclinations, ﬂashier and easier substitutes for Christ’s call to forsake all and follow Him. The world is not lacking in its proposed alternatives to Jesus nor is the devil lackadaisical in inventing them. Yet there is no path surer than that of Christ though it lead us through valleys under the shadow of death. The Living Word Who became ﬂesh effectually offers you hope because He both desires for you to be His victorious child and also has power to achieve it. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made…. By Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together…. If God is for us, who can be against us? He Who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?” (John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:16-17, Romans 8:31b-32 ESV). Hope spent in what is eternally able to deliver us and fulﬁll us is hope spent well. Hope that is misplaced is always eventually a disaster. Christmas is a season of hope, not because of gift-giving, nostalgic traditions, and families spending time together, but because it marks the occasion of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, leaving the glory of heaven so that you and I might be saved from our sin (*Matthew 1:21). The Lord, speaking of Jesus says, “Here is My Servant Whom I have chosen, My beloved in Whom My soul delights…. The nations will put their hope in His name” (Matthew 12:18a, 21 HCSB, citing the prophecy in Isaiah 42:1-3). So let the story of Christmas turn your eyes from mere temporary things to the eternal hope of heaven. If you will allow God to kindle within you His divine spark, it cannot be snuffed out however furious the winds of discouragement may blow. Hope, therefore, may be one of the greatest gifts given to you this season… or any season. Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 21 years.

The story I submitted last week about ﬁnding the coonhound trapped in the hollow log and dying was one I initially wrote in 1999. The incident actually occurred on Thanksgiving Day of the ﬁrst week of the 1998 West Virginia deer season. Over the years of telling the story people have often asked, “What eventually happened to that coonhound?” I have always been glad to tell it, but I have never written about it - until now. This is the written conclusion to the coonhound account. It was getting close to the designated time that I had told my boys hunting at other locations on the farm property in Ritchie County to meet me at a certain location. It was my intention after freeing and feeding the happy coonhound that each of us go our separate ways. Besides, I had a ways to walk and thought I might jump a deer on the way out. But, the coonhound wanted to stay with me. He ran excitedly around me, barking some, rustling the leaves on the ground noisily with its running, and snifﬁng whatever. He was still with me when I met up in our lives.

Because of His mercy, God does not give us what we deserve. Because of His grace, God gives us what we do not deserve. On either account, it involves the dynamic intervention of God in our lives. Never should we take for granted the continued intervention of God’s mercy and grace. Third, the intervention of God is manifested in His tender leadership. The Lord knows how difﬁcult it is to ﬁnd our way in life, and how far we sometimes have to go to get there. Thus, He intervenes by giving us the principles and expectations of His Word to lead us in hunts of life that are turned away from self-focus to hunts of life that bring honor and glory to His name. The coonhound eventually died a couple of years later. But, the account of him still lives in my memory. The Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

These individuals chaff at the idea of ‘commands and precepts.’ Even in theological circles, there is in some quarters a disdain for the idea of a ‘pattern theology. ‘It’s not about rules,’ they will say, ‘it’s about grace.’” —Jonathan McAnulty Culturally, there is a great deal of pushback against the idea of conformity. “Rules are made to be broken,” is adopted as a mantra. The individual and individualism reign supreme. Agreeing to disagree is regarded as a high philosophical achievement and equivocation between disparate ideas and behaviors is commonplace. Conformity is perceived to be boring and stodgy. The honest student of God’s word, however, can hardly fail to notice the emphasis placed within on obedience to commands, conformity of doctrine, and the necessity of following God’s pattern for life, for worship, and for salvation. It was God who gave Noah a detailed blueprint of how to build an ark (Genesis 6:14-16) It was God who repeatedly told Moses to build everything in the tabernacle according to a pattern. (eg. Exodus 25:9, 40, 26:30) It was God who instructed His people not deviate from His precepts, either to the right or to the left. (Deuteronomy 5:32; cf. Proverbs 30:5-6).

Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky…AND good. The number 13 is often associated with luck, but for the 13 individuals from the Ohio Valley Publishing area which have been selected as all-Ohio football for 2016 — they were quite good too. The Associated Press allOhio squads were released this past week — with Division IV coming out on Tuesday, Division V on Wednesday and Division VII on Thursday. In Divisions VII and V respectively, Southern and River Valley each had four allstate selections, while Eastern in Division VII and Meigs in Division IV each earned two. South Gallia, also in Divi- sion VII, gained one all-Ohio performer in senior Johnny Sheets. Sheets, along with a dozen other OVP selections, made Special Mention. All 13 of the OVP all-Ohio honorees are making the list for the ﬁrst time. For the Southern Tornadoes, they ﬁnished 8-2 in the regular season for the second time in four years — and advanced to the state playoffs for only the second time in school history. Crenson Rogers — a six-foot, three-inch 210-pound senior — topped the Tornadoes’ all-state accolades as a third-team tight end/wide receiver. Rogers registered 646 receiving yards — on 23 receptions — and nine touchdowns this season. Southern’s Special Mention trio includes seniors Blake Johnson and Trey Pickens — and junior Riley Roush. Eastern’s two Special Mention honorees were senior Jett Facemyer and junior Wyatt Bissell. For River Valley in Division V, it amounted four Special Mention picks — seniors Tre Craycraft and Robert Drummond, sophomore Jacob Campbell and junior Patrick Brown. Meigs managed a pair of “Zachs” on the Division IV Special Mention unit — junior Zach Helton and sophomore Zach Bartrum. The AP all-Ohio football teams are chosen by a statewide media panel, as ALL of the district Players of the Year automatically make ﬁrst-team all-state. See OVP | 7 Buckeyes should like playoff decision By Jim Naveau jnaveau@civitasmedia.com The jury is still out but it looks like the verdict is a foregone conclusion. If Ohio State is not one of the four teams announced as participants in the College Football Playoff at noon on Sunday, there are going to be a lot of surprised people. Actually, more like a lot of totally shocked people. Everything points to Ohio State, ranked No. 2 behind Alabama in this week’s College Playoff standings, being the surest thing after the Crimson Tide to get to the playoff. Even without playing in the Big Ten championship game, OSU’s three wins over Top Ten teams and a head-to-head victory over Wisconsin appear to have impressed the playoff selection committee. Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said after the next-to-last rankings were announced Tuesday night, “Our mission and sole purpose is to rank the four very best teams in college football for inclusion in the playoff.” He also said playing for a league championship “is not the distinguishing metric.” In other words, welcome to the postseason, Ohio State, even if you’re not playing in the Big Ten championship game, even if you didn’t beat Penn State and even if Jim Harbaugh thinks it wasn’t you, it was the refs who beat his team. The selection process might be suspenseful for Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan and some other teams. But probably not for Ohio State. It is hard to imagine how it could drop from No. 2 to No. 5 in one week. If No. 4 Washington (11-1) beats Colorado (10-2) in the Pac-12 championship game and No. 3 Clemson (11-1) wins the ACC championship against Virginia Tech (9-3) on Saturday, the Huskies and Tigers could join Alabama and OSU in the four-team playoff.

Wisconsin needs to beat Penn State and probably hope both Clemson and Washington lose. And Michigan just needs a whole lot of hope. With big wins over Penn State and Colorado and a close win over Wisconsin, the Wolverines do have a bit of an argument for being considered even though they ﬁnished third in the Big Ten’s East Division. One of the most interesting things in the whole drama is the apparent disregard by the College Football Playoff selection committee for the Big Ten championship game. Expansion and money created the Big Ten championship game, which was ﬁrst played in 2011. The idea that three of the four best teams in the conference could be in the same division and that two of them would not qualify to play for a championship probably was dismissed as unlikely to happen when the Big Ten championship game was created. But that is what has happened this year. And the College Football Playoff seems to be sending a message that it doesn’t consider conference championship games very important. This puts the Big Ten in an awkward position. It doesn’t want to downplay a money maker like the championship game. But it also doesn’t want to see its two best teams left out of consideration for the playoff because they didn’t play in the championship game. If chaos erupts in the weekend’s conference championship games could the Big Ten get two teams into the playoff? And which team would be the second team? Would it be the winner of the Big Ten championship game? Or, in an act of total disdain for championship games by the committee, could it be Michigan? Probably not. But the Wolverines have beaten three top ten teams and have wins over both teams in the Big Ten championship game. Reach Jim Naveau at The Lima News at 567-242-0414 or on Twitter at @Lima_ Naveau.

Perrantes rallies Cavs past OSU, 63-61 CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — London Perrantes knew he wasn’t playing well, and if he had any doubt whatsoever, coach Tony Bennett let him know. “I got after him,” Bennett said Wednesday night after Perrantes scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half and No. 7 Virginia overcame a sloppy performance and rallied past Ohio State 63-61 on Wednesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. “I did, and he responded.” Perrantes, who had three turnovers by halftime, hit three 3-pointers in the second half to spark the Cavaliers’ surge. “I knew I wasn’t playing to the best of my ability or even anywhere close,” the senior point guard and four-year starter said. “I’m glad he kind of got into me. That’s the most I got ripped by him since I’ve been here and it sparked us all.” Devon Hall added 12 points for the Cavaliers (7-0), who trailed by as many as 16 points in the ﬁrst half and didn’t take the lead for good until Marial Shayok’s baseline runner made it 59-57 with 1:58 remaining. Bengals on track for worst run game since 2010 CINCINNATI (AP) — A lot has been made of Andy Dalton’s struggles in the past few games — sacks, turnovers, passes batted down. One of the contributing factors is the Bengals’ inability to run the ball, which puts the onus on the quarterback. And if they don’t get a lot more out of the running game, the quarterback is going to be a target for the rest of their lost season. The Bengals (3-7-1) are on pace to have their least-productive season with the run since 2010, which stands as a recent reference point for bad Cincinnati running games. Cedric Benson ran for 1,111 yards, but nobody else contributed consistently as the offense revolved around receivers Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens. The Bengals ﬁnished 4-12 in that season, and it feels as if they’re running in place again. “We know how to do our jobs,” running back Jeremy Hill said. “We just need to execute better, especially in the running game.” The Bengals’ offense has favored the pass under ﬁrst-year coordinator Ken Zampese. Dalton has thrown at least 40 passes in ﬁve games — he did that only once in each of the past two seasons. His career high is six games with 40-plus passes in 2013, and he’s got plenty of time to top that mark. By contrast, the Bengals are on pace for 422 runs this season, which would be their fewest since 2008. Cincinnati has been held under 100 yards rushing in seven of its 11 games. During a 19-14 loss in Baltimore on Sunday, the Bengals managed only 64 yards rushing — 15 of them on Dalton’s scrambles. Rex Burkhead was their leading rusher with 29 yards on ﬁve carries, while Hill managed only 21 yards on 12 carries. It won’t get any easier down the stretch. Multifaceted running back Giovani Bernard tore his left ACL two weeks ago. Receiver A.J. Green is sidelined indeﬁnitely with a strained right hamstring, so opponents don’t need to fear the passing game as much. The Bengals host the Eagles (5-6) on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium. Philadelphia’s defense is ranked 17th against the run and has held three of its past four opponents to 74 yards or fewer on the ground. Burkhead, a fourth-year player, moved into a big- ger role when Bernard got hurt. He carried only 13 times in his ﬁrst three seasons, but will get the ball more regularly the rest of the way. “Rex is capable of doing any role we ask him to,” Zampese said. “So it’s easy just to put him in there and let him have his opportunities like we did in that game.” Burkhead has been primarily a special teams player the past two seasons. “He’s a guy that has ﬂashed in practice and hasn’t had a role yet,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “It’s good to see him in there getting some plays.” MLB players, owners reach tentative labor deal IRVING, Texas (AP) — Baseball players and owners reached a tentative agreement on a ﬁveyear labor contract Wednesday night, a deal that will extend the sport’s industrial peace to 26 years since the ruinous ﬁghts in the ﬁrst two decades of free agency. After days of near round-theclock talks, negotiators reached a verbal agreement about 3 1/2 hours before the expiration of the current pact. Then they worked to draft a memorandum of understanding, which must be ratiﬁed by both sides. “It’s great! Another ﬁve years of uninterrupted baseball,” Oakland catcher Stephen Vogt said in a text message. In announcing the agreement, Major League Baseball and the players’ association said they will make speciﬁc terms available when drafting is complete. As part of the deal, the luxury tax threshold rises from $189 million to $195 million next year, $197 million in 2018, $206 million in 2019, $209 million in 2020 and $210 million in 2021, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been signed. Tax rates increase from 17.5 percent to 20 percent for ﬁrst offenders, remain at 30 percent for second offenders and rise from 40 percent to 50 percent for third offenders. There is a new surtax of 12 percent for teams $20 million to $40 million above the threshold, 42.5 percent for ﬁrst offenders more than $40 million above the threshold and 45 percent for subsequent offenders more than $40 million above. Union head Tony Clark, presiding over a negotiation for the ﬁrst time, said in a statement the deal “will beneﬁt all involved in the game and leaves the game better for those who follow.” A key component is changes to the qualifying offer a club can make to a player who left it to become a free agent, which was $17.2 million this year. If a player turns down the offer and signs elsewhere, his new team forfeits an amateur draft pick, which usually had been in the ﬁrst round under the old deal. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Friday, December 2, 2016 Business & Trade School Apartments/Townhouses Houses For Rent Livestock Want To Buy Gallipolis Career College (Careers Close To Home) Call Today! 740-446-4367 1-800-214-0452 Twin Rivers Tower is accepting applications for waiting list for HUD subsidized, 1BR apartment for the elderly/disabled, call 304-6756679 Beautiful 1 BR apartment in the country freshly painted very clean W/D hook up nice country setting only 10 mins from town must see to appreciate water/trash pd. $399 month 740-645-5953 614-595-7773 Nice 3 bedroom 1 Bath Home hardwood floors, full basement, sun room 1 car attached garage & carport, very well insulated with low utilities.Located on Roush Lane $775.00 month plus deposit 740-645-5028 2 yr old black Angus Bull. easy calving will sell with or without registration papers call 740-288-1460 after 5pm Absolute Top Dollar - silver/gold coins, any 10K/14K/18K gold jewelry, dental gold, pre 1935 US currency, proof/mint sets, diamonds, MTS Coin Shop. 151 2nd Avenue, Gallipolis. 446-2842 gallipoliscareercollege.edu Accredited Member Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools 1274B Apartments/Townhouses $$$$$$$$$ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with Pomeroy Daily Sentinel?? s Be your own boss s 5 day delivery s Delivery times is approx. 3 hours daily s Must be 18 years of age s Must have a valid driver’s license, dependable vehicle & provide proof of insurance s Must provide your own substitute OPERATE YOUR OWN BUSINESS WITH POTENTIAL REVENUE OVER $1,000 PER MONTH For more information please email Tyler Wolfe at twolfe@civitasmedia.com or apply in person at 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH Mon-Fri 8:30 am - 4:30 pm $$$$$$$$$ 60583312 Lost & Found Found set of keys beside the bowling alley call to identify 740-853-1143 Notices NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.
