The mobile medical unit will be in Gallipolis City Park to offer cancer screenings to women on Oct. 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Ohio University Heritage Community Clinic with the Women’s Health Clinic has provided women’s mobile cancer screening clinics throughout southeastern Ohio with the mission “to improve women’s health in the region,” according to the press release sent. “What we do at our women’s health clinics is, on our unit we provide clinical breast exams, pap tests, pelvic exams, chemical tests, navigation as well as lots of women’s education,” said Carole Merckle, assistant director Community Health Programs and Area Health Education Center. Merkle said the program is setup to offer women same-day services. “We link with either mobile mammography and/or healthcare systems to be able to provide same day mammography at those clinics as well,” Merkle said. “So, it’s sort of a one-stop shop. Women can get their complete cancer screenings in at the same appointment, so there’s no room for missed opportunities.” Offering same day services has been an effective way of care, Merkle said. “What we’ve found over the years is when we don’t provide all these services at one time, it’s often found that women don’t go back and have the rest of the screenings completed,” Merkle said. “We started, quite a few years ago, trying to partner with healthcare systems or mobile mammography systems to make sure that we had you know, that the full screening’s done on the same day at the same appointment times.” Merkle said this is the general practice unless something happens with the mobile mammography unit. The screenings are offered to all women, those who are uninsured, underinsured and those insured. “Our quality health services are provided at no cost to women throughout southeastern, Ohio,” Merkle said. “We don’t turn anyone away. We do no billing, we’re part of the Free Clinic Association, the Ohio Clinic Association Charitable Health Care Network, and we have funding that we write grants [for] and get funding through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Project of Southeastern Ohio and other funders.” Those outside of southeastern Ohio are welcome, but the funding comes from other sources. While the unit will be setup in Gallia County, residents from the surrounding area are welcome, according to Merckle. “We don’t turn anyone away,” Merckle said.

In Gallia County, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) reported 45 additional cases of COVID-19 on Thursday. In Meigs County, ODH reported an additional 30 new COVID-19, also on Thursday.

The lapse predicted by Senate President Matt Huffman punts the job to the Ohio Redistricting Commission, a newly created panel already facing criticism and lawsuits challenging the fairness of the new map it passed for state legislative districts. A new, voter-approved redistricting process is being used in Ohio for the first time this year. It has been complicated by a monthslong delay in the release of 2020 census figures needed to draw the maps due to the coronavirus pandemic. “This process is new. It’s complicated and it’s going to take some time to sort it through,” Huffman, a Lima Republican, told reporters. “My guys were working on the state maps for 25 straight days and nights, so there really wasn’t any practical way for us to get it done by this Thursday.” But Democrats say GOP efforts to protect partisan interests are to blame. “When it comes down to it, (Republicans) are going to side with their legislative colleagues for partisan interests,” said Sen. Vernon Sykes, co-chair of the redistricting commission. “And that’s what’s stopping us. That’s what’s holding us up.” An Associated Press analysis found that Republican politicians used census data after election victories 10 years ago to draw voting See OHIO | 10 Are you hiring?

Monday, Oct. 4 CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s largest outdoor festival on the third-highest U.S. bridge next month was canceled Wednesday, a week after a group representing parachutists bailed out. The Bridge Day Commission voted unanimously to cancel the Oct. 16 event on the New River Gorge Bridge. Marcus Ellison, an organizer for a group of BASE jumpers, cited concerns about available health care in case of an emergency because of the coronavirus pandemic in announcing last week that the group would not participate. Some hospitals in southern West Virginia have been inundated in recent weeks with COVID-19 patients with a few saying their intensive care units were at capacity. Ellison also was concerned there could be an insufficient number of bus drivers to transport BASE jumpers from the bot- tom to the top of the New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville on Oct. 16. “The well-being of my jumpers is the number one priority as an event organizer,” Ellison told the Bridge Day Commission on Sept. 22. BASE stands for building, antenna, span and Earth, the fixed objects from which jumpers leap. Prior to the meeting, the Fayette County Commission, which has a representative on the Bridge Day Commission, alleged a small group of individuals “acted to influence” the BASE jumping group to cancel its participation. The county commission said in a statement that Ellison was misled “to believe the jumpers he represents would not have the support they required to efficiently reach the jump site or have access to medical care should they suffer an injury.

In Virginia, Oliver Midgette rarely dons a mask, never lets COVID-19 rouse any worry and happily finds himself in restaurants and among crowds. She is vaccinated. He is not. In a sign of the starkly different way Americans view the coronavirus pandemic, vaccinated older adults are far more worried about the virus than the unvaccinated and far likelier to take precautions despite the protection afforded by their shots, according to a new poll out Wednesday from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. While growing numbers of older unvaccinated people are planning travel, embracing group gatherings and returning to gyms and houses of worship, the vaccinated are hunkering down. “I’m worried. I don’t want to get sick,” says Russell, a 58-year-old from Des Plaines, Illinois, who is searching for part-time work while collecting About 1 in 4 older adults, including roughly a third of those who are most worried about COVID-19, say their social lives and relationships worsened in the past year. The poll found vaccinated older adults are more likely than the unvaccinated to say they often avoid large groups, wear a mask outside their home and avoid nonessential travel. Compared with June, vaccinated people were less likely to say they would travel or visit bars and restaurants in the next few weeks. Dr. Irwin Redlener, a public health expert and founding director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, said unvaccinated people’s fear of the virus is lower because of their “disregard for science.” “Vaccinated people have generally bought into the scientific realities of risk. They’re reading the reports of new variants or mutations, they’re reading stories about breakthroughs,” he said. All of that is fueling anxiety for the vaccinated, Redlener said, compounded by a loss of confidence in experts and officials and their shifting into it. He says “life is normal” again and the only thing he’s missing out on is going on a cruise with his wife because of vaccination requirements. It won’t convince him. “I grew up in the old days. I ate dirt. I drank water from a hose. I played outside. I don’t live in a cage right now,” he says. About two-thirds of people age 50 or older say they rarely or never feel isolated, but about half of those most worried about COVID-19 say they’ve felt that way at least sometimes in the last month. Kathy Paiva, a 70-year-old retired bartender from Palm Coast, Florida, says she’s feeling the weight of staying home so much. “My life is more limited than it ever was,” Paiva says. “I’m scared to go anywhere right now. I’d like to go out to eat, too, but I’m not going to put anyone’s life in danger, especially my own.” Her son died of a heart attack in January. In July, she and her closest confidant, her 67-year-old sister, both fell ill with COVID-19. Paiva, who is vaccinated, survived. Her sister, who wasn’t, did not. disability benefits. “The people who are going about their lives are just in their own little bubbles of selfishness and don’t believe in facts.” As the virus’ delta variant has fueled new waves of infection, the poll of people age 50 or older found 36% are very or extremely worried that they or a family member will be infected, roughly doubled since June. The increase is fueled by the vaccinated, who are especially likely to be highly worried. Just 25% of vaccinated Americans, but 61% of unvaccinated Americans, say they are not worried. That worry is taking a toll: Those concerned about COVID-19 are less likely to rate their quality of life, mental and emotional health, and social activities and relationships as excellent or very good. The dichotomy is at once peculiar and pedestrian: Though the unvaccinated stand most at risk of infection, their refusal of the shots shows many are convinced the threat is overblown. Midgette, a 73-year-old retired electronics salesman in Norfolk, Virginia, sees the government as the culprit in fueling fear, but he’s not buying guidance, most recently on the issue of booster shots. Lee Sharp, a 54-year-old information technology consultant from Houston, who was so seriously ill with COVID-19 last year that he made sure his wife knew how to access all his accounts, initially thought he would get vaccinated as soon as shots were available. But as the months went by, the forcefulness with which vaccines have been pushed has made him not want to get one. “As time has passed, I have less and less and less trust. ‘Masks don’t do anything!’ ‘Masks do something!’ ‘You need two masks!’ ‘No, you need four masks!’ ‘You need disposable masks!’ ‘No, cloth masks are OK!’” he said in exasperation. “What the heck?” Linda Wells, a 61-year-old retired high school administrator in San Francisco, says that defiance has been discouraging. She got her shots and a booster, but because of an arthritis medication she takes, has been told by her doctors she’s in the “nebulous area of not knowing whether I’m protected.” Marshall University names five presidential finalists TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 70° 64° HEALTH TODAY Statistics through 3 p.m. Thu.

The Buckeyes have won all seven games, scoring no fewer than 49 points in any contest, including last year’s 49-27 win. It’s not surprising No. 11 Ohio State is a big favorite again heading into Saturday afternoon’s game at SHI Stadium. What’s interesting, though, is that Rutgers (3-1, 0-1) put on a performance against now-No. 14 Michigan last weekend in the Big House that indicated Ohio State (3-1, 1-0) may not totally have its way this time with the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers dropped a 20-13 decision to the Wolverines on the road in a game in which they posted a second-half shutout and had a chance to tie the contest late. Scarlet Knights coach Greg Schiano, who served as the Buckeyes’ defensive coordinator under Urban Meyer a couple of years ago, said the game didn’t change the way he felt about his team. He has believed it has been closing the gap on the traditional powers the past two seasons . “I think the Big Ten is a very tough league and every game is its own entity,” Schiano said earlier this week. “So you can’t say, ‘Well, because you were able to do that in the second half that you’ll be do it against somebody else.’ “ The bottom line is Rutgers has to show up and perform again. “I think (Schiano) has done a very, very good job these past two years of getting his team ready,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “He does a good job coaching in all three phases. It is a challenge going on the road. You see what he did last year. Last week, they took (Michigan) to the fourth quarter. They played excellent defense in the fourth quarter. He has the guys believing and playing hard.” Some things to watch in Saturday’s game: Stroud returns Freshman redshirt freshman C.J. Stroud will be the likely starter for Ohio State after sittinglast week against Akron. Stroud started the first three games but has been nursing a sore shoulder, so freshman Kyle McCord got the nod and threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns in the 59-7 win. Freshman Jack Miller III also got some playing time.

(Mark 10: 13-14) find yourself As Christians, this world is not our home. We are sojourners and exiles in this world (see 1 Pt. 2:11). We are citizens of heaven (see Phil. 3:20). Like Abraham, we look “… forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God” (Heb. 11:10 ESV). How, then, should we live as exiles? The prophet Jeremiah addresses this question. God’s people find themselves in Babylonian exile because of their sin. They are under God’s righteous judgment. Even still, God gives them tremendous hope. Most of us are familiar with Jeremiah 29:11, which says, “‘For I know Cross the plans I have for you, declares the Words LORD, plans for welfare and not for Isaiah evil, to give you a future and a hope’” Pauley (ESV). The beauty of this promise comes with the despair of where God’s people find themselves. It’s easy for us to bypass the context of Jeremiah 29:11. But until we understand the gravity of their situation, we struggle to see just how great God’s promise is. We, too, live as exiles in a foreign land. We know there is more to life than the mess of our current situation. In a world full of sin and death, we know there is hope. That’s why we love Jeremiah 29:11 so much. Just as God promises a future hope for the exiles in Jeremiah’s day, we also have a future hope as followers of Christ. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (ESV). As exiles in this foreign land, we await the return of Christ “… who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself” (Phil. 3:21 ESV). In Jeremiah, we know God promises to restore His people in seventy years (vv. 10, 14). But He doesn’t tell them to sit back and do nothing as they wait. For most of us, seventy years is a lifetime. And as we experience the pains and struggles of this foreign land, we long for the land to come—the new Jerusalem. John writes, “And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away’” (Rev. 21:2-4 ESV). As God’s people, we really do have a future and a hope. And it’s found in the gospel. But how do we live in the meantime? Jeremiah 29:4-7 gives us an idea of what faithful living looks like in a foreign land. Jeremiah’s letter reads, “‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare’” (ESV). God calls those in exile to build houses, plant gardens, raise families, and improve the city in which they find themselves. And as we wait for the new Jerusalem, shouldn’t we do the same? It’s easy for us to throw in the towel. We see how sinful our world is. We see sickness, pain, and death. We cringe at evil. And we long to be at home with the Lord. We even cry out, “Come, Lord Jesus!” (see Rev. 22:20). But as we wait, we live. Here and now. In this messy world. For the glory of God. And we build houses, raise families, grow potatoes, and seek to improve the culture in which we live. Why? Because God has a plan for where we find ourselves. That we would love Him and make disciples wherever He calls us to be (see Mt. 28:1920). So, Christian, take heart. This world is not your home. But God does have a purpose for where you are. Consider how you might live where you find yourself for His glory, clinging to the hope of the gospel. And longing for the day of Christ’s return. Before long, you’ll be in the new Jerusalem! Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Find more at www.isaiahpauley.com. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. One day Jesus was teaching and people were bringing little children to Jesus for Him to touch and bless them. The disciples criticized the parents and told them to quit bringing their children to Jesus; He was busy teaching and shouldn’t be bothered with children. When Jesus heard what His disciples were saying, He was very upset. “Let the children come to me and don’t stop them!” Jesus said. “The Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. Anyone who doesn’t come like a little start questionchild will never ing and doubting enter.” Then Jesus Jesus’ promises, took the children but not children. in His arms and They accept Him blessed them. with sincere love Jesus loved chiland trust in Him. dren just like you God’s Kids As you go so much that He scolded His own Korner through the weeks to come, don’t disciples for shooAnn ever forget how Moody ing them away.

Jesus Christ is not cultural One writer recently observed that a certain portion of American Christianity is in danger of transforming Christianity into a “Lifestyle Brand,” as opposed to a true religious movement; that is, to identify as “Christian,” for a growing number, is more about affirming particular cultural markers as opposed to affirming a particular set of doctrinal positions. The possibility of such a thing happening should not be ignored by those for whom Christianity, as a Faith, is a very serious proposition. Consider a couple of semi-related points. The Jewish faith is one of the oldest in the world, being Jewish for but for quite a many who were few who claim to part of this data, is be Jewish, that a ‘lifestyle brand’ identity is almost and it is not a relientirely cultural gious calling. rather than reliLooking abroad gious.

Clearly, for such Hungarians, identifying as a Christian is more about culture than doctrine, for them it is a “Lifestyle Brand.” The situation in the United States is not quite so bad yet, but for more and more who claim to be Christians there is some indication that particular cultural markers are swiftly becoming more important to their sense of religious identity than See CHRIST | 10 Put the challenge of wisdom to work Before Dad moved our family to West Virginia, we lived in Salisbury, North Carolina, at 525 East Henderson Street. When I was eight yearsold, Dad bought a bicycle for me. It was my first. It was rusty. But, it was sturdy. Henderson Street was a busy street. The best street for me to ride on was the street behind our house. It was Lafayette street. The easiest way of getting on the street meant riding through out large backyard beneath the huge pecan tree, and down a narrow threefoot garden path beside of which was right up against Mr. Webb’s dilapidated barn. A sharp left turn at the corner would put me onto Mr. Webb’s long driveway. At the end was the much quieter Lafayette Street. Many school friends lived in that proximity. My third ride was not without incident. As I went along Mr. Webb’s driveway at his house, a stick got kicked up and lodged in the chain at the rear wheel sprocket. It also wedged among several of the spokes. I put the kickstand down and attempted to wrest the stick from the bind.

For the Lord instructed, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, whether neither moth or rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” That amounts to putting wisdom into administering our resources properly. In either situation, and others, there is a challenge of putting wisdom in the things we do and attitudes we have. But, when God’s honor and glory is considered, life takes on greater qualities. Getting back to Mr. Webb, he also had a local reputation of being a very straightforward individual. After I fumbled around considerably to turn my bike back over, he told me, “Ronnie, you just don’t have much smarts about you, do you?” �NEWS 10 Friday, October 1, 2021 COVID From page 1 the pandemic, 217 hospitalizations (1 new) and 58 deaths.

Daily Sentinel Congress passes bill to avert shutdown By Kevin Freking Associated Press WASHINGTON — With only hours to spare, Congress passed legislation that would avoid a partial federal shutdown and keep the government funded through Dec. 3, and sent the bill to President Joe Biden. The back-to-back votes by the Senate and then the House will help avert one crisis, but just delay another as the political parties dig in on a dispute over how to raise the government’s borrowing cap before the United States risks a potentially catastrophic default. The House approved the short-term funding measure by a 254-175 vote not long after Senate passage in a 65-35 vote. A large majority of Republicans in both chambers voted against it. The legislation was needed to keep the government running once the current budget year ended at midnight Thursday. Passage will buy lawmakers more Afghanistan evacuees from the 20-year war between the U.S. and the Taliban. “This is a good outcome, one I’m happy we are getting done,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. “With so many things to take care of in Washington, the last thing the American AP Photo | J.

Sykes and Senate Democrats introduced their version of a congressional map Wednesday. The proposal received immediate criticism from GOP leadership, with spokesperson John Fortney calling the map “a new experiment in geometric shapes.” The congressional deadline comes weeks after the panel charged with redrawing state legislative districts missed its Sept. 1 deadline and went on to approve new district boundaries purely along party lines, meaning those maps, as they stand, will only last for four years. The GOP-backed legislative district maps are now facing three lawsuits in the Ohio Supreme Court, which separately allege the process and end product are an example of “extreme, partisan” gerrymandering that violates voters’ rights and the Ohio constitution.

Christ to be applicable to all the world (cf. Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15). The message of Christ declares that He has all authority and that He is worthy of our worship, praise, adoration and, quite importantly, our obedience (cf. Matthew 28:18). He calls us to repent of our sins (cf. Luke 13:3), eschew material treasures (cf. Matthew 6:19), love and pray for our enemies (cf. Matthew 5:44), consider others as being more important than ourselves (cf. Philippians 2:3-8), and seek after the Kingdom of God first and foremost in our lives (cf. Matthew 6:33). Such a set of doctrines has and will continue to be, in every place and time, counter-cultural, for they are opposed to the mindset of the world which almost universally prioritizes materialism, self-gratification, and self-interest, or to use the language of Scripture, the Lust of the Eyes, the Lust of the Flesh and the Pride of Life (cf. John 2:15-17). We cannot serve two masters (cf. Matthew 6:24), and if we seek to be a people of our world and our culture, we will never fully be the people of God. Christ is not cultural. He transcends culture, and though His followers will ever dwell in one culture or another, they are well reminded that this world is not their home, they are but sojourners traveling to that place to which they are called. busy trying to fight various cultural battles that they don’t have much time to partake in the From page 9 great spiritual battle to which Christ actually any actual set of doccalls them (cf.
