EVANS “The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.” Albert Schweitzer. On August 11, 2021, Clyde M. Evans’ life of service to his community ended with his passing at his residence in Rio Grande, Ohio. Clyde, 83, was born June 26, 1938, in Gallipolis, Ohio, son of the late Owen Wade and Reva Belle (Hutchinson) Evans. Clyde was an All-Ohio high school basketball player for Rio Grande High School, graduating in 1956. Clyde attended Union College on a basketball scholarship and earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1960. He returned to Gallia County and served as teacher and coach at Gallia Academy High School from 1960-1961. Clyde returned to school and received his Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling from Eastern Kentucky University in 1962. Upon returning to Gallia County, he served as Director of Guidance for the Gallipolis City Schools from 1962-1964. Clyde again furthered his education from 19641965, at the University of Texas obtaining a certificate in Educational Psychology. From 1965-1966, Clyde served as Director of Guidance and head basketball coach at North Gallia High School. Clyde began a career at the University of Rio Grande in 1966, as Director of Admissions and Records and became an Assistant Professor of Psychology in 1969. In 1970, Clyde moved his young family to Hattiesburg, Mississippi and obtained his Doctorate of Philosophy from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1972. He returned to the University of Rio Grande in 1972 and served as Vice President for Student Development until 1977. From 1977-1983, he served as Provost and Dean of the Colleges. In 1983, Clyde’s career took a different path as he served as Project Director for Sports Management for the United States Sports Academy, assigned to assist the Royal Saudi Air Force in Taif, Saudi Arabia. Clyde obtained an Educational Administration certification from Ohio University and served as a counselor and principal in the Vinton County Local School District from 1986-1989. From 19892002, he again served in various administrative positions at the University of Rio Grande. In 2002, Clyde was elected to serve the 87th District in the Ohio House of Representatives.

He served on the following committees while in the House: Finance and Appropriations; Financial Institutions (Vice Chair); Higher Education Sub Committee (Vice Chair); Education; Agriculture; Public Safety and Homeland Security (Ranking Minority Member); JCARR; Council on Unclaimed Strip Mines (Chair) and the Ohio School Facilities Commission. Clyde was instrumental in hastening opportunities for school facility funding to his district. Clyde enjoyed making things happen. Perhaps the most surprising event was in 1992, when he convinced General William Westmoreland (Commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam from 1964-1968) to come to Gallia County to honor our Vietnam Veterans for the Fourth of July. Clyde organized a collaboration of resources from key local leaders and the General delivered a keynote address in the city park. One of his most fulfilling honors included serving as Commencement Speaker and receiving an Honorary Doctorate in Public Service from the University of Rio Grande in 2008. Clyde was also awarded the Bud and Donna McGhee Service Award by the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce for 2010. Clyde was proud and honored to speak at the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration in 2007, and to receive a Special Recognition Award from the Southeastern Ohio NAACP.

Clyde is in the Union College Educators Hall of Fame and the University of Rio Grande Athletic Hall of Fame (as an Athletic Director). He was honored as “Person of the Year” by the Jackson County Township Trustees Association and was a Member of the Association of Ohio Commodores. After leaving the legislature, Clyde continued his service to the University of Rio Grande by serving on the Board of Trustees until his death.

Ron DeSantis — who has been criticized for opposing mask mandates and vaccine passports — is now touting a COVID-19 antibody treatment in which a top donor’s company has invested millions of dollars. DeSantis has been flying around the state promoting a monoclonal antibody treatment sold by Regeneron, which was used on then-President Donald Trump after he tested positive for COVID19. The governor first began talking about it as a treatment last year. Citadel, a Chicago-based hedge fund, has $15.9 million in shares of Regeneron Pharmaceutical Inc., according to filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Citadel CEO Ken Griffin has donated $10.75 million to a political committee that supports DeSantis — $5.75 million in 2018 and $5 million last April.

Have you ever wondered what kind bed Noah had in the ark? Did he simply throw furs down on the floor for a year, or did he take the time to build some bunks? He had a hundred or so years to prepare the ship for his family, and he must have given some thought to the sleeping arrangements. Likewise, what sort of tables did he fashion? Or chairs? Was the furniture anchored or did it move around as the ship was tossed on the waves of the flood? What did he use for his light sources during the long dark months when there was no sun, and the ark’s lone window remained closed? What did the family do to entertain themselves while the waters outside the ark continued on the earth? These are but a few of the questions that many writers, seeking to give color to the episode of the deluge, one of the single greatest events in the history of the earth, might have tried to answer. But Moses, in penning the story of the flood, touched not at all upon such details, instead giving a rather bare bones account of Noah’s entrance into and exit out of the ark (cf. Genesis 6-9). This refusal to fixate on such trivial matters is one (Author’s note: Seems like every year I get asked to reprint this lesson, so once again here it is.) What is happening this coming week that should be very exciting for you all? Yes, that’s right; school is beginning. Are you happy to be going back and seeing your friends and learning new things? I know with COVID, things are a lot different and even a little scary, but school is a good thing! I pray that you are excited and for a good year for you all. Did you ever wonder about when Jesus was growing up did He have to go to school? Well, I thought about God’s Kids that this past week and did some Korner research on just that topic. Now the Bible never actually says that Jesus Ann went to school, but scholars believe Moody that He would have from the passages about Him being called Rabbi or Teacher and the customs of that time. Jesus would have learned a lot from his parents. His mother Mary would have taught Him things at home, and His Father Joseph would have taught Him about being a carpenter like he was. But when Jesus was probably about six years old, like every other six-year-old Jewish boy, He would have gone to the local synagogue school called Bet Sefer. Only the boys went for five or six days a week. The teacher would teach his students the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy along with some other general basis education. On the first day of their school, the rabbi would give each boy a taste of honey and say, “May the words of God be sweet to your taste, sweeter than honey to your mouth.” from Psalm 119: 103. From ages 10-14, Jewish boys learned the rest of the Jewish Scriptures all the way to Malachi. Do you remember when Mary and Joseph thought Jesus was lost, but they found Him in the Temple? Do you know how old He was then? He was twelve and was sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening and asking questions. Around 14 to 15 years old, if you were interested, you could do advanced religious studies. You would go and seek a respected and knowledgeable Rabbi to study with like an apprentice almost. You would study with this Rabbi until you were 30 years old when you could become a Rabbi yourself. Do you know how old Jesus was when He started His ministry? He was 30 years old. We know that Jesus also worked as a carpenter, possibly to help pay for His education. We aren’t sure. But in the New Testament, He is called Rabbi 13 times and teacher 41 times. (Rabbi means teacher.) So probably Jesus had to go to school at least some of the time just like you will be doing this week. I hope you have a great year! Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Jesus, bless all the children starting school this week. Be with them, their parents, their teachers, and school staff, so they have a wonderful year and learn what they need to know. We ask You to keep them safe and be kind to each other too. In Your name we pray, Amen. 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 69° 80° 79° HEALTH TODAY AccuWeather.com Asthma Index™ Temperature The AccuWeather.com Asthma Index combines the effects of current air quality, pollen counts, wind, temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and changes from past weather conditions to provide a scale showing the overall probability and severity of an asthma attack.

By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith (Hebrews 11:7; ESV).” Likewise, what is important about Jesus is not His hair color, or any such thing, but rather those things He did and taught in order to bring salvation to men. “If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. (John 12:47-48; ESV)” God focused His word only on those things He wanted us to focus on, leaving out all the rest. Those words He did provide are thus things we absolutely should focus on, recognizing their importance (cf. 2 Timothy 3:14-17). We neglect such a message at our own peril.

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) — Nelly Korda’s sensational summer form is showing no sign of dipping. Two weeks after winning a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, the top-ranked Korda began her bid for a second major title in two months by shooting 5-under 67 to share the first-round lead at the Women’s British Open on Thursday. Korda rolled in a 5-foot putt at No. 18 at Carnoustie for her eighth birdie of a round that also contained three bogeys in overcast, chilly but largely wind-free conditions over the links in eastern Scotland. She was later joined on 5 under by Sweden’s Madelene Sagstrom, who has never recorded a top10 finish at a major, and South Korea’s Sei Young Kim, a major champion last year and the No. 4. The 23-year-old Korda is the new superstar of women’s golf, having climbed to No. 1 by winning the PGA Championship in June and followed that up by winning the Olympic golf tournament in Tokyo this month. The American has four wins in 14 events in 2021 and said she has a “target on my back” for the last of the five majors. “I try to take the mindset of every day’s a new day,” said Korda, who is a combined 87 under par for her last 21 rounds. “It doesn’t matter what my ranking is. Everyone’s going into this event prepared and wanting to win. “That’s kind of like the mindset that I try to take into every event.” The Women’s Open is her first event since the Olympics and she carried the momentum to Carnoustie, holing a left-to-right 20-footer for birdie at No. 3 — the first of three birdies in a four-hole span to immediately throw down the challenge to her rivals. Korda, who wore bulky, oven-style mitts between shots at times during chilly morning conditions that contrasted with what she experienced in Tokyo, rebounded from her second bogey of the day, at No. 12, by making a downhill putt for birdie at the next and picked up another shot at the par-5 14th after reaching the green in two. She finished birdie-birdie by hitting her approach close at No. 18 with an 8-iron from the center of the fairway. With short turnaround, FCS programs adjust practice regimens By Hank Kurz Jr. AP Sports Writer K.C. Keeler didn’t ask his Sam Houston players to stick around long after they won the school’s first national championship last May, capping a long and draining season — physically and emotionally — because of the pandemic. He’s also not asking them to stick around as long at practice this year. Throughout the Championship Subdivision, coaches are making concessions this fall to acknowledge that the quick turnaround from last spring is hard. Practices that typically had 24 sessions in the Huntsville, Texas heat? “We’re down to 19 periods,” Keeler said. “I give them a halftime after like the 11th or 12th period every day where they literally just go over and hydrate.” Keeler sent his team home after the championship win and didn’t have them return until June 28, when the community finally honored them with a parade. When the Bearkats resumed practice Aug. 4, just 80 days had passed since they beat South Dakota State 23-21 for the title on a pass with 16 seconds to play. With the season opener set for Sept. 2, that is 108 days between games for the Bearkats. Between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the last time things were normal, Sam Houston had 286 days between games. By the time this regular season ends, assuming it goes on as scheduled, Sam Houston will have played 20 games in 2021 — with the potential for postseason games a very real possibility. Sam Houston is one of many programs that have banned, or severely limited, tackling in practice, but not every highly regarded program follows suit. “Football is a collision sport,” James Madison coach Curt Cignetti said, “... and you still have to develop the toughness, the mindset of your team in camp. So, we’ve had a physical camp. Everybody wanted a physical camp.” The Dukes, who played eight games in the spring, make concessions elsewhere, beating the heat by practicing in the morning, and gradually dialing things back in practice as the season wears on, Cignetti said. Down the road at VMI, the Keydets are coming off their first winning season in 40 years. Coach Scott Wachenheim wants to keep the momentum going, but not at the risk of wearing his players out. “We’re well under the NCAA minimums for the amount of times that we’re going to have contact on the field and the amount of time we’re on the field,” he said. “We just feel we’ve got to keep our team healthy.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Aug. 20 Football Meigs at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Symmes Valley at South Gallia, 7 p.m. Green at Eastern, 7 p.m. Federal Hocking at Southern, 7 p.m. River Valley at Piketon, 7 p.m. Soccer Point Pleasant boys at Braxton County, 8 p.m. Golf Point Pleasant at Buffalo, 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 21 Soccer Warren at Gallia Academy girls, 11 a.m. Warren at Gallia Academy boys, 1 p.m. Point Pleasant girls at Lewis County, noon Point Pleasant boys at Lewis County, 2 p.m. Golf Gallia Academy boys at Watkins Memorial, noon AP file photo Georgia wide receiver Adonai Mitchell catches a touchdown pass past defensive back Lewis Cine during Georgia’s spring NCAA college football game in Athens, Ga., on April 17.

The Taliban celebrated Afghanistan’s Independence Day by declaring they beat the United States, but challenges to their rule ranging from running a country severely short on cash and bureaucrats to potentially facing an armed opposition began to emerge. Taliban suppress more dissent as economic challenges loom By Ahmad Seir, Tameem Akghar, Kathy Gannon and Joseph Krauss Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban violently dispersed scattered protests for a second day Thursday amid warnings that Afghanistan’s already weakened economy could crumble further without the massive international aid that sustained the toppled Western-backed government. The Taliban have sought to project moderation and say they want good relations with the international community, but they will face a difficult balancing act in making concessions to the West, satisfying their own hard-line followers and suppressing dissent. A U.N. official warned of dire food shortages, and experts said the country was severely in need of cash, while noting that the Taliban are unlikely to enjoy the generous international aid that made up most of the ousted government’s budget. The Taliban have pledged to forgive those who fought them and to restore security and normal life to the country after decades of war. But many Afghans fear a return to the Taliban’s harsh rule in the late 1990s, when the group largely confined women to their homes, banned television and music, chopped off the hands of suspected thieves and held public executions. On Thursday, a procession of cars and people near Kabul’s airport carried long black, red and green banners in honor of the Afghan flag — a banner that is becoming a symbol of defiance. Video from another protest in Nangarhar province showed a bleeding demonstrator with a gunshot wound. Onlookers tried to carry him away. In Khost province, Taliban authorities instituted a 24-hour curfew Thursday after violently breaking up another protest, according to information obtained by journalists monitoring from abroad. The authorities did not immediately acknowledge the demonstration or the curfew. Protesters also took to the streets in Kunar province, according to witnesses and social media videos that lined up with reporting by The Associated Press. The demonstrations — which came as people celebrated Afghan Independence Day and some commemorated the Shiite Ashoura festival — were a remarkable show of defiance after Taliban fighters violently dispersed a protest Wednesday. At least one person was killed at that rally, in the eastern city of Jalalabad, after demonstrators lowered the Taliban’s flag and replaced it with the tricolor. Meanwhile, opposition figures gathering in the last area of the country not under Taliban rule talked of launching an armed resistance under the banner of the Northern Alliance, which joined with the U.S. during the 2001 invasion. It was not clear how serious a threat they posed given that Taliban fighters overran nearly the entire country in a matter of days with little resistance from Afghan forces. The Taliban so far have offered no specifics on how they will lead, other than to say they will be guided by Shariah, or Islamic, law. They are in talks with senior officials of previous Afghan governments. But they face an increasingly precarious situation. “A humanitarian crisis of incredible proportions is unfolding before our eyes,” warned Mary Ellen McGroarty, the head of the U.N.’s World Food Program in Afghanistan. Beyond the difficulties of bringing food into the landlocked nation dependent on imports, she said that over 40% of the country’s crop has been lost to drought. Many who fled the Taliban advance now live in parks and open spaces in Kabul. “This is really Afghanistan’s hour of greatest need, and we urge the international community to stand by the Afghan people at this time,” she said. Hafiz Ahmad, a shopkeeper in Kabul, said some food has flowed into the capital, but prices have gone up. He hesitated to pass those costs onto his customers but said he had to. “It is better to have it,” he said. “If there were nothing, then that would be even worse.” Two of Afghanistan’s key border crossings with Pakistan are now open for trade. However, traders still fear insecurity on the roads and confusion over customs duties that could push them to price their goods higher. Amid all the uncertainty and fears of Taliban rule, thousands of Afghans are fleeing the country. At Kabul’s international airport, military evacuation flights continued, but access to the airport remained difficult. On Thursday, Taliban fighters fired into the air to try to control the crowds gathered at the airport’s blast walls. An earthquake recently hit the nation of Haiti 128 km west of Port au Prince. It registered 7.2 on the scale. One report I read stated that shortages of food are in worse supplies since the quake occurred. The quake only acerbated the needs for food, since “…1.1 million people in Haiti were already estimated to be one step from starvation.” It was stated that many struggle every day to get enough food. I have seen that fact myself. About nine years ago, I went on a mission trip to Port au Prince, Haiti, with a church group from Martinsburg, W.Va. Our daughter-in-law, Holly, had told us that after her first trip there that she cried over a week when she returned home concerning the living conditions and needs the Haitian people have. About mid-week, our group rented an old school bus to drive to a ministry at one of the churches about twenty miles away. The night before we packed up a large number of fivepound packages of beans and rice. The that moment, he church building to had enough food which we drove to feed his family was situated half for a day! His famway up a large ily would not go hillside.

Beans. Beans. I’m tired of having to eat beans!” My dad slowly laid his spoon in the bowl, and then he proceeded to give me a stern verbal dressing down about complaining about the abundant food that had been placed in front of me. He emphasized that I should be thankful to God for it. Furthermore, if I was going to not be thankful, I could just leave it and not have anything at all to eat for supper that night. Because I was hungry, I changed my attitude rather quickly. Perhaps many of you learned the same type of lesson back in the day. But, wonder if it was a lesson that had to be learned because our food supplies were so very short on a daily basis like it most certainly is in Haiti, or other parts of the world, today? Regardless, no matter what it is, we should give God thanks for His provision of it to us. “Having food…let us therewith be content.” And, also, thankful.

Is God interested in your life being set free from regret and becoming a transformed masterpiece? Is He concerned about you experiencing more than merely a religious lifestyle? Is He committed to your knowing love, forgiveness, peace, and hope for the future? Yes. To all of this, yes!

It’s not too late for your life to be aimed at glorifying God. Only then will you find the happiness and satisfaction you’re looking for. Psalm 90 says, “The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Return, O LORD! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days” (vv. 10-14 ESV). There are moments in our lives when we need to reevaluate our aim. I hope this column encourages us to set our sights on Christ as we strive to glorify Him in our day-today lives. Allow me to end with a passage of Scripture from Colossians. “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory” (3:1-4 ESV). What are you aiming at?
