The council requested an amended ordinance for their next meeting that would delay the increase for three months. The council further planned to hold an extra meeting in January, in order to guarantee the standard three readings for ordinance changes, before the rate hike comes into effect. That move was preceded by discussion of the health of the village’s finances, specifically the water and sewer accounts. Clerk Sue Baker told council the water department monies “are a lot better, not in great shape, but better than you were several years ago,” largely due to last summer’s large rate increase. With the accounts trending towards a positive balance, council debated whether to stick to the original plan of a subsequent 4.75 percent increase in January. With minimum customer payments stated to be $75, Councilperson Ruth Spaun said “We’ve got to be more fair to the people of Pomeroy,” and was adamant on a postponement. “I agree, but at the risk of not paying our bills?” questioned Councilperson Maureen Hennesey. A three percent annual rate raise for inflation is standard by the Village, but multiple increases in short succession, along with recent boil advisories, has generated a great deal of concern by Pomeroy residents. Councilperson Victor Young suggested, in order to soften the blow to citizens, a postponement that would place the increases six months apart. “I know will still probably have to do it eventually. But if we are headed in the right direction, could we wait? Since we did a big one just a bit ago, I hate to hit people again after just three months,” he said. The council settled on a vote, to take place in January, on an amended ordinance which would delay the rate increase until spring. Council passed a resolution for standard temporary January appropriations (prior to the 2017 budget). They also gave the Army Corp of Engineers permission in a parking lot project, and approved around $2,000 in expenses for winter vehicle equipment and police cruiser repair. Mayor Bryan Shank told the council he had been approached by an individual interested in selling land for Beech Grove Cemetery. Shank said he had made clear to the individual the village had no money to pursue the offer, but agreed with Councilperson Young who said the offer and any information should be brought to the public’s attention, given that cemetery expenses are paid via levy. There was no information provided on the search for a village administrator, as Shank said the current candidate were in contract negotiations.

I cannot resist peeling away layers that camouflage or conceal that which is underneath. Consequently, I am intrigued by what appears in people when they find themselves in situations that strip away pretense and rhetoric. It is my personal conviction that the Christmas season proves itself to be one of those “situations” in which folks really find out what they’re made of. Some folks, who hunger for something meaty (so to speak) in everyday living, slow down a bit and reflect on the love of God and one’s place in His plan for the world. They’ve come to value things that endure or at least know the vanity of pursuit of shallow values and goals. Such ones are inclined to share tangible expressions of the love of God in acts of kindness and generosity for people who are sick, or are in genuine need, or are otherwise lonely and/or forgotten. Setting aside their wants, they make time and share even sacrificially with others as God opens doors of opportunity. They remember that there was once a Christmas present given for all the world in a time of spiritual and moral darkness and they reflect on just how much it has meant for all who have received it in the centuries that have come and gone since then. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16 ESV). Thom They share because God has shared Mollohan with them. The only race that they are Contributing running is the marathon of making a columnist difference in the lives of others and somehow connecting the lost and lonely of the world to the inconceivable grace of God. But for some, Christmas is a “situation” in which things other than love, joy, peace, hope, and thankfulness are exposed. Consider an event several years ago in which a poor Walmart employee in Queens, New York, like an unarmed man at the gate, was trampled to death by a modern day equivalent of the Huns crashing through the doors of his place of work in Long Island. The 34 year-old man died facing hordes of mindless shoppers who were so savage that they ripped off a metal part of the door frame (leaving it looking like a crumpled accordion) as they trampled anyone caught in their path. So fierce was the mob’s assault that some of the Wal-Mart co-workers who strove to rescue him were injured and taken to the hospital. Let’s all be horrified, but let’s not act surprised by a violent progression of events. The madness of after-Thanksgiving Day shopping has long been a joke (and often the comedic story line in movies and television shows). But now it turns out to not be so funny. Whatever dreams that this poor man may have had for the holiday season were cut short. Whatever family members he left behind had a bitter loss for the sake of someone’s shopping list. I hope that I am not the only one who is ashamed that greed has besmirched a holiday named after our Lord. If some have gotten the gist of Christmas, the hope that it represents for all humanity, and the love it reveals of our God, it seems all too evident that countless numbers have not. It doesn’t matter if we merely “talk the talk” of the holiday season (or even sing the carols of Christmas); values are played out in our choices, especially when we don’t have time to think about what others may think of us and we are simply do what we feel like doing. We are in our nature a greedy people. Why would I think that? Because we consistently make greedy choices in those situations that allow us to act naturally. Circumstances come to the stew pot of our lives and stir up what’s really in us. While pride, selfishness, hatred, and immorality too often come to the surface, chief among them is greed: we want what we want, and we want more than we have. Again, for some the soup spoon of circumstance brings love, generosity, and patient humility to the top. These men and women (and even some children) give without regard to getting. They give because they’ve permitted God to put something of His love into their hearts. It’s these folks who really get Christmas, not those trying to get the best bargains at the store. If anything (including shopping) is capable of stripping away from us kindness, patience, ethics, honesty, and love, we have a serious spiritual problem. Think of even the “small ways” that our “true selves” are revealed if we’re racing without regard for others to be first in the checkout line or pull in front of someone else to get the closest parking spot to the door. Are such behaviors and attitudes truly becoming to the children of God and the Savior Whom we represent to the world? I think not. Besides, those who learn best how to give are also the ones who really get the most from this season of celebration. They’re the ones who really have the most to celebrate: the love of the Son of God Who came to give His life is not just Savior, but Lord of their hearts as well. Keep Christ in Christmas indeed! But remember that to keep Him in Christmas, you must also keep your heart in His hand! The Christmas season is a celebration of God’s Son’s first advent into the world. He came as a Servant so that we might have eternal life and, in turn, become servants of God as well. As He has come to serve us by saving us from our sin, let us now each one go and serve others by following His example and putting them before ourselves.

The thought pestered me to the allow ourselves to dwell point that I could not sleep on it, all could seem quite hopeless in this life. that night. In those early It was Isaiah who within morning hours I got out of bed to give rise to do some the prophetic context of “The eventual eradication of evil and misfortune is not based upon wishful thinking, but upon the sure hope of the work of Christ so sublimely clarified in the Christmas message.” —Ron Branch the birth of Christ stated tersely, “They shall look unto the earth, and behold, trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish, and they shall be driven to darkness.” Yet, despite it all, the absolute one factor that keeps my mind and emotion from stepping over the cynical precipice at certain times has everything to do with Jesus Christ. He has come to give the world sure hope, and, in giving the world sure hope, He gives me sure hope, which is distinctly forged to the message of Christmas. That is why Isaiah went on to clarify, “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. They that dwell in the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” The prophet was pointing to the coming of the One who would give everyone everywhere the light of hope in this life we live. The critical starting point put into play in this temporal sphere was the powerful and wonderful Incarnation of the divine Son of God. His Virgin birth brought the good news of hope to mankind. His Virgin birth brought the balm of hope to the bruised. His Virgin birth ignited the dynamism of the Cross and Resurrection, verifying the hope and the means by which the devil, death, hell, and the grave were defeated. The eventual eradication of evil and misfortune is not based upon wishful thinking, but upon the sure hope of the work of Christ so sublimely clarified in the Christmas message. Because of the message of Christmas, I know I can endure the evils and misfortunes of this temporal life by knowing the hope given by Christ. My prayer is that you have the same hope…and that you will celebrate it…and that you will be blessed by it…and that you will experience peace from it…and that you will find the joy of the Lord in it.

Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.” (NKJV) Let us first note that kings and princes are told that it is unsuitable and wrong for them to ever drink intoxicating beverages. They have duties: duties to the law and duties to doing the right thing. Mind altering substances are going to interfere with those duties, and perhaps cause them to be done wrongly. This admonition is of particular relevance to Christians who have been told by God that they are both kings and priests in God’s Kingdom. (Revelation 1:6). This degree of honor is true of all Christians, not just a select few. Peter reminds his readers that they are a royal priesthood and a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). If you have been saved by Christ, then you are a child of God, an adopted heir of the immortal Lord, a brother to the King of kings, and God expects great things from you. (cf. Romans 8:14-17) If this is your calling, you should walk worthy of the calling. It is not suitable for kings and princes to drink. On the other hand, the Scriptures are quite clear that drunkenness is suitable for the “perishing.” The original context of the proverb likely refers to criminals about to be executed for their crimes, such as rape or murder. Alcohol was used to dull their pain and make the death more humane. But the application is made broader by the context of scripture, wherein the perishing refers to those who are lost in their sins, separated from His grace and destined for hell. (cf. Romans 6:23; Luke 13:3; Revelation 21:8) The message is quite clear. If you are lost in your sins, going to hell, and don’t really care enough to change and seek the salvation God offers, go ahead - drink, get drunk, carouse, and try to pretend that everything is fine. But if you are a child of God, a prince in the Kingdom of God, and have been promised a throne and a crown of your own in His eternal home: you have better things to do with your time and your mind. If you are interested in learning more about how to be a child of God and receive the hope and joy that comes with His promises, the church of Christ invites you to worship and stud with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

For the game, Eastern outrebounded the Golden Eagles by a 34-33 edge, but Belpre won the turnover battle by a 22-10 clip. Eastern shot 8-of-15 (53.3 percent) from the free throw line and 24-of-43 (55.8 percent) from the field, including 2-of-8 (25 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, BHS was 18-of-30 (60 percent) from the stripe and 26-of-54 (48.1 percent) from the field, including 4-of-12 (33.3 percent) from deep. EHS senior Jett Facemyer led the Green, White and Gold with 28 points, followed by Jon Wolfe with 12 points and Sharp Facemyer with 10. Garrett Barringer scored four points for the Eagles, while Corbett Catlett and John Little both added two points. Catlett pulled in a team-best eight rebounds for EHS, while Wolfe added six. Wolfe and Catlett each had two assists to lead Eastern. Wolfe also led the Eagle defense with two steals. Belpre was led by Deijon Bedgood with a doubledouble effort of 30 points and 10 rebounds, to go with a game-best four assists. Next for the victors was Mythius Houghton with 14 points, followed by Cole Knotts with eight. Nate Godfrey and Brandon Simoniette both scored six points, Logan Adams added five, while Jeremiah Stitt and Ryan Simoniette scored three and two points respectively. Eastern will have a chance to avenge this setback on February 3, when these teams face off in Tuppers Plains. The Green, White and Gold have just one more game before the new year, as Point Pleasant visits ‘The Nest’ on December 30. Alex Hawley can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

Va. — As expected, Wahama had no trouble at all in this one. That’s because the host White Falcons, in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division boys basketball tilt on Tuesday night, soared past the winless Federal Hocking Lancers 79-41 at Gary Clark Court. The White Falcons outscored Federal Hocking 14-4 in the first quarter, maintained a 28-17 halftime advantage, then erupted for 51 second-half points — including winning the third period 26-10. Wahama hammered the Lancers 51-24 in the second half, doubling its cushion to 54-27 following three. With the win, the White Falcons are now an even 2-2 — both overall and in the TVC-Hocking. Federal Hocking fell to 0-8, and 0-5 in the league. Philip Hoffman poured in 26 points to pace the White Falcons, amassing 10 total field goals on 14 shot attempts —along with making 5-of-6 free throws. Right behind Hoffman was Noah Litchfield, who amounted 20 points on nine total field goals with 15 shot attempts. Randy Lantz, on five field goals and a free throw, landed double digits with 11 points. As a team, Wahama shot 28-of-48 from inside the arc, while making all four of its three-point tries. Hoffman, Litchfield, Mason Hildredth and Jacob Lloyd all drained a three-point goal. Hildredth had five points, as Lloyd, Tyler Bumgarner and Abram Pauley posted four points apiece. Isaiah Pauley made a pair of foul shots, while Abram Pauley and Bumgarner both garnered two field goals. See FALCONS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Friday, December 23, 2016 7 Inconsistent Ohio State working to smooth out passing game COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Whether Ohio State can beat Clemson in the College Football Playoff next week could depend on which version of the wildly inconsistent Buckeyes offense shows up to play in the desert. Will it be the score-at-will unit that averaged more than 53 points through the first five games and blew away Nebraska and Maryland 62-3 on back-toback Saturdays in November? Or the bunch that bumbled to an upset loss at Penn State, and looked nearly as off-kilter in narrow wins over Northwestern and Michigan State, with spotty pass protection, receivers who can’t get open and J.T. Barrett run- ning for his life? Much of that will be determined by Barrett and whether he can help shore up the Buckeyes’ uneven aerial attack and complete passes down the field against a Clemson defense with four All-ACC first-teamers. He and his receivers say that’s been a large part of the focus in practices leading up to the Dec. 31 Fiesta Bowl. “What I see from J.T. is he’s got his head down and he’s going to work,” wide receiver Noah Brown said. “He knows what he needs to work on, and he knows what we need to work on.” Make no mistake, Ohio State (11-1, No. 3 CFP) is in the Hall, Ironmen break Blue Devils’ hearts By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com JACKSON, Ohio — Bryce Hall will likely be best remembered for his touchdown passes as a Jackson Ironmen football quarterback. The Gallia Academy Blue Devils, conversely, would prefer to forever forget how Hall broke their collective hearts on Tuesday night. That’s because Hall hit a three-point shot at the final buzzer, handing the visiting Blue Devils a heartbreaking 60-57 non-league boys basketball loss. Hall, playing basketball for the first time since junior high school in Jackson, nailed the triple from the left wing with no time remaining. Payton Speakman made the pass to Hall, breaking a 57-57 tie after Gallia Academy’s Miles Cornwell converted 2-of-3 free throws with nine seconds to play. The two squads stood tied at 16-16 after the opening quarter, before Jackson took a 33-30 halftime advantage — and held a 43-42 edge after three periods. Both teams tallied 22 total field goals, as Gallia Academy made 9-of-13 free throws and the Ironmen 8-of-14. But Jackson drilled eight threes compared to four for the Blue Devils, as the Ironmen were 8-of20 from long range — while GAHS shot 4-of-11. For Gallia Academy, the difficult defeat dropped it to 4-2 — as the Blue Devils’ first heart-breaker came against Point Pleasant in overtime two weeks ago (Dec. 9). That was a 66-64 setback, meaning both Blue Devil defeats are by a combined five points. The improving Ironmen are now 4-3, having snapped a three-game losing streak in the process. Carson Spohn, on 10 total field goals including four three-pointers, sank 24 total points to pace the winners. Hall hit for 13 points on five total field goals, including a pair of treys, and 5-of-6 free throws. Speakman made two three-balls towards eight points, while Cooper Donaldson dialed in one en route to seven. Donaldson — the tallest player on the Jackson roster at six-foot, two-inches tall — led the smaller Ironmen with eight rebounds. Josh Spires scored two buckets for four points, while Kendall Neal and Blake McCoy made a basket apiece. Gallia Academy’s Justin Peck, on eight field goals, posted a team-high 16 points. Justin McClelland canned 15 points for the Blue Devils, netting five field goals — including three trifectas —and 2-of-3 foul shots. Cornwell, with seven points, connected for the other three. Evan Wiseman, with four field goals and 4-of-4 free throws, tossed in a dozen points — while Zach Loveday landed two field goals for four points. Gage Harrison had a basket and Cory Call a free throw to round out the Blue and White scoring. Loveday with 10 and Wiseman with eight led the Devils in rebounding, while Wiseman dished out four of the club’s 10 assists. The Blue Devils return home, and return to action tonight (Friday, Dec. 23), when they host South Gallia for another non-league duel. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 Falcons From page 6 Litchfield, Lloyd and Travis Kearns (three points) all split a pair of free throws. The Lancers were 10-of-24 from two-point range, and 4-of-6 from deep, thanks to 3-of4 — all in the second stanza — by Deakin Hatfield. Hatfield had 11 points, as Jared Hank hit game-high honors for Federal Hocking — racking up 14 points on six total field goals and a free throw. Hank had the club’s only other three in the third, as his field goal — along with one by Braden Gould —gave Federal Hocking its four first-quarter points. Gould finished with three field goals and 2-of-4 foul shots for eight, as Quinton Basim, Bradley Russell and Bryce Gate all added a bucket. The White Falcons return home, and will host Mason County rival Point Pleasant, on Tuesday (Dec. 27). Paul Boggs can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2106 national playoff because of Barrett, the unflappable Texan who’s never the fastest guy on the field and doesn’t have the best arm but time after time put the team on his back and found a way to win. The fourth-year junior has lost only three times as Ohio State’s starting quarterback. Barrett’s supporting cast included a 1,000-yard rusher in freshman Mike Weber, All-American hybrid back Curtis Samuel and one of the best defenses in college football. But the glaring weakness is the passing game: Receivers struggled to get open, Barrett could be tentative pulling the trigger and pass protection was leaky, often caving in on right tackle Isaiah Prince. Barrett was sacked a half dozen times in the Penn State loss. In the doubleovertime win against Michigan, he was flattened eight times and didn’t complete a pass over 16 yards. A reliable deep threat never did emerge this season from a promising pool of wide receivers. Ohio State contends it can be fixed by bowl time. “We’re putting a lot more emphasis on the passing game to continue to develop that, both in protection and routes and quarterback play,” said co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tim Beck. “I like what I see.” As is typical of Barrett, there hasn’t been a lot of handwringing. Even when the passing game looked its worst, he insisted there was nothing terribly wrong that couldn’t be fixed with a couple tweaks. He doesn’t think he’s too conservative about letting go of the football, noting his 24 touchdowns against just five interceptions. “That’s my thing, I think I’m really good at making good decisions, making sure that we’re not hurting the team (with) field position and things like that, and that’s me protecting the football and not turning it over,” Barrett said.

Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Browns fighting despite prospect of winless season BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Not for lack of trying, but of talent, the Cleveland Browns aren’t winning. They aren’t quitting, though. Faced with the very real possibility of running the table and going winless over 16 games, it would be easy for them to wave the white flag, surrender with two games left, pack it up and be done with this miserable season. Coach Hue Jackson has experienced that with players elsewhere. “I know what they look like, feel like, act like and all of it,” Jackson said Tuesday. “I have seen it. I have not seen that in this group.” The Browns (0-14) are bad, and they may soon go down as one of the worst teams in NFL history, but they plan to do it swinging. “I think we still have some fight in us, we’re still focusing on finishing this season off strong,” said nose tackle Danny Shelton, whose improvement in his second year has been one of the few positives in an otherwise forgettable season. “There are a lot of guys who still believe.” Terrelle Pryor leads the list. The team’s top wide receiver intends to play in Cleveland’s final two games — home on Christmas Eve against San Diego and at Pittsburgh on New Year’s Day — with a torn ligament in his right middle finger, an injury that will require surgery, which has been scheduled for the day after the Steelers game. Pryor got hurt on the first play of the second half in Sunday’s game at Buffalo when he reached down to catch a low pass from quarterback Robert Griffin and jammed his fingers on the artificial turf. Following Tuesday’s indoor workout, Pryor described the painful mishap. “Every single time I bent my knuckle, my knuckle felt like it got smashed with a hammer,” he said. “It was flat.” Pryor tried taping his fingers together during the 33-13 loss, Cleveland’s 17th straight over two seasons, but that didn’t work and he spent time on the sideline trying to get it so his finger would straighten. He worked with the team’s medical staff over the past two days on fitting him with some protection and he’ll play with a partial cast covering his finger. Earlier this year, Pryor said he was willing to go to extreme lengths, saying he would even be willing to cut off a finger to help his team win. “I meant what I said a long time ago about the finger and now I’m here,” he said. “So it’s time to go. It’s time to live up to what I said and I’m excited it.” Despite the negativity surrounding his team, the late-night TV jokes and attempts by some fans to organize a downtown parade if the Browns complete an imperfect season, Jackson has been strengthened by his players’ resolve. The Browns haven’t given up. “This is a tremendous group,” Jackson said. “I don’t think anybody has said, ‘OK, we are not going to be out there’ and not want to be out there. Guys have some excuses where they could use them so that could not be out there, but I have not seen anybody do that. “I think what is important is playing with your teammates and finishing this thing the right way and getting better and taking these opportunities to continue to grow as a team. That is what all our players are doing.” Steelers hopeful Tuitt can play against Ravens PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Stephon Tuitt politely shooed away reporters on Monday when they approached his locker, saying he needed to go get an MRI on his achy right knee. Tuitt then walked away without any sort of noticeable limp. He wasn’t just playing tough for the cameras. Coach Mike Tomlin indicated there’s a chance Tuitt could play when Baltimore visits Heinz Field next weekend after the exam revealed Tuitt only sprained his knee when his right leg twisted underneath him three plays into Pittsburgh’s 24-20 victory over Cincinnati on Sunday. “We will watch him participate over the course of the week and see what that participation looks like,” Tomlin said Tuesday. “Obviously the position that he plays gives him an opportunity, probably it would be less likely so if he was a wide receiver or cornerback.” Tuitt was closing in on Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton when he reached out with his left hand and snagged Dalton’s facemask. He let go almost immediately while at the same time pirouetting awkwardly on the Paul Brown Stadium turf. He managed to walk off without any help, though he spent the rest of the afternoon in a jacket on the sideline at the Steelers (9-5) rallied for a fifth straight victory to set up what amounts to an AFC North title game against Baltimore (8-6) on Sunday. There’s little doubt Pittsburgh is better when Tuitt is on the field, particularly with Cam Heyward already out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. Yet what was left of the line — Javon Hargrave, Daniel McCullers, L.T. Walton and Ricardo Mathews — eventually found their footing. The Bengals ran it seven times for just eight yards over the final 30 minutes as the Steelers steadily recovered from an early 14-point deficit. “We knew we had to play big in the second half,” Hargrave said. “We let them start quick, so we knew we had to respond and grind it out.” Pittsburgh will need to rely on that grit if it wants to end a fourgame losing streak to the Ravens and clinch its second division title in three years. The Ravens won the first meeting 21-14 on Nov. 6 despite being limited to just 50 yards on the ground. They’ve improved steadily in recent weeks and put together a season-high 151 yards rushing in a 27-26 escape against Philadelphia last weekend while splitting carries between Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon. Part of the credit goes to an offensive line that’s found some stability. The rest to West’s ability to find a hole and go. Yet Pittsburgh’s defense has steadily improved during its surge into first place. The Steelers are allowing just 64.6 yards rushing per game during their current winning streak, way down from the 102.6 yards per game they gave up through the season’s first nine weeks. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Friday, December 23, 2016 Miscellaneous Help Wanted General Help Wanted General Help Wanted General EEE Residential has an immediate opening in Meigs County for a full time residential aide.
