The body of John Michael Gomez, 30, of New Haven, W.Va. and also formerly of Middleport, Ohio, was found on March 8 by a passerby along Carson Road near Mason, W.Va., according to Sgt. Joe Finnicum of the WVSP. In relation to this investigation, arrest warrants were reportedly issued on March 11 for Bobby L. Woolford, 32, Cleveland, Ohio, and Rikki L. Wise, 24, Racine, Ohio. Woolford was arrested in the Cleveland area on charges unrelated to this case on March 10 and Wise was taken into custody by law enforcement officials on Wednesday, March 23, also in the Cleveland area, according to Sgt.

(AP) — A record muskellunge has been caught in West Virginia, a state agency said. Lucas King of Burnsville caught the musky on Saturday from a public access site along the Little Kanawha River in the tailwater section of Burnsville Dam in Braxton County, the Division of Natural Resources said in a news release. The musky weighed 51 pounds and was a little over 55 inches long, the statement said. That broke the state weight record of about 50 pounds and the length record of 54 inches. King used a 6-inch glide bait to catch the fish, which was subsequently released.

Kindergarten registration RACINE — Registration for Kindergarten will be held on April 12-13 for children that will McConnell says he’ll vote against Jackson for Supreme Court By Mary Clare Jalonick and Kevin Freking Associated Press WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell announced Thursday that he will vote against confirming Ketanji Brown Jackson, saying he “cannot and will not” McConnell support the groundbreaking nominee for a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. While McConnell’s opposition was not unexpected and Jackson’s confirmation is still on track, his declaration coming only hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee wrapped up four days of hearings probably will lead many fellow Republicans to follow suit. Democrats can confirm Jackson, the first Black woman nominated for the nation’s highest court, without any GOP support in the 50-50 Senate, where Vice President Kamala Harris can cast the tiebreaking vote. McConnell slammed the liberal groups that have supported Jackson, and he criticized her for refusing to take a position on the size of the nine-member court, even though that decision is ultimately up to Congress. Some advocacy have pushed for enlarging the court after three of President Donald Trump’s nominees cemented a conservative majority. “Judge Jackson was the court packers’ pick and she testified like it,” McConnell, R-Ky. said in a floor speech. Over two days of committee questioning this week, Republicans interrogated Jackson about her record as a federal judge, including her sentencing of criminal defendants, as Susan Walsh | AP Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a kiss from her husband Dr. Patrick Jackson at the conclusion of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday. she seeks to become the first Black woman on the nation’s highest court. Legal experts praised Jackson in the final day of hearings Thursday, with a top lawyers’ group saying its review found she has a “sterling” reputation, “exceptional” competence and is well qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. “Outstanding, excellent, superior, superb,” testified Ann Claire Williams, chair of the American Bar Association committee that makes recommendations on federal judges. “Those are the comments from virtually everyone we interviewed.” Williams said the group spoke to more than 250 judges and lawyers about Jackson. “The question we kept asking ourselves: How does one human being do so much so extraordinary well?” Democrats are hoping to win bipartisan votes for President Joe Biden’s historic nominee, but Republicans have portrayed Jackson as soft on crime in her nine years on the federal bench. Jackson, supported by committee Democrats, pushed back on that GOP narrative in more than 22 hours of questioning, explaining the sentencing process in detail and telling them: “nothing could be further from the truth.” The four-hour hearing Thursday featured not only legal experts but government officials and civil rights groups who supported Jackson and conservative advocates who opposed her. Alabama Attorney General Steven Marshall, a witness invited by the minority, echoed the Republicans’ concerns. Marshall said Jackson’s supporters cite her as a voice for the vulnerable, but “we should be interested in exploring whether her zeal is equally fervent for another class of our most vulnerable — victims of violent crime.” Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin, the committee chairman, noted that some Republican senators argued that Jackson was out of the mainstream when it comes to sentencing. Durbin asked the ABA whether such a concern would have surfaced in their interviews with the judges and lawyers who worked with her. “It never came up in any of these interviews,” Williams said. Joseph Drayton, another member of the ABA committee, said Jackson’s reputation is “stellar.” Democrats tried to portray Marshall himself as out of the mainstream, asking about his efforts to overturn Biden’s 2020 presidential victory. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked Marshall whether Biden was the “duly elected” president. Marshall, who had supported a lawsuit to overturn Donald Trump’s defeat — would only say that Biden was president. The Supreme Court dismissed that suit. The Senate committee is expected to vote on Jackson’s nomination by April 4. Democrats are hoping to hold a final confirmation vote by Easter in mid-April, when the Senate leaves Washington for a two-week break. GOP senators aggressively questioned Jackson on the sentences she has handed down to child pornography offenders in her nine years as a federal judge, her legal advocacy on behalf of suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay, her thoughts on critical race theory and her religious views. �CHURCH/NEWS Friday, March 25, 2022 3 The lost son Doers of the Word Suspect In addition to working with law enforcement officials in the Cleveland area, the WVSP have been assisted in this investigation by the Mason County Sheriff’s Department, Mason County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, United States Marshals office and Office of State Medical Examiner. © 2022, Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

During the night, the scholars stay in character. “It’s not like a lesson or anything, they are in character doing a monologue,” said Kaitlynn Halley, Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau assistant director. “They are in costume and everything.” “They don’t break character,” Saunders said. “It’s very believable that you’re seeing what that character would have portrayed back at that time.” Halley said the scholars are beyond prepared for the portrayal. “They spend years researching and knowing the character,” Halley said. “Knowing details, and years past, these scholars know so many details that the audience comes up with some specific questions. And they are very professional in how they go about answering them.” Halley said there has always been great community participation, with audience members sometimes trying to stump the scholars with their questions. “It just brings history to life, it really does,” said Saunders.

The commands of God, in Christ, are not for a select few well-doers or an elite cadre of Christians. God does not have certain expectations for apostles and ministers, whilst allowing everyone else to muddle by without actually paying attention to what He has said. Too many have the notion that God might want other people to heed His word, but that they themselves have no immediate need to be doing what the Bible is clearly telling them to do, or else that God will overlook their failure to listen to Him. But the Bible is meant to be applied equally by all who are concerned about their spiritual needs, and their relationship with God, who we are told, is not going to be partial, playing favorites (cf. Acts 10:34-35). Each of us needs to ask ourselves if we are actually striving to do what it is that God teaches us to do in His word. This requires, firstly, that we know what it is God teaches in His word. But once we have read it, or heard it, we each need to be doing it. “Everyone,” in this case means exactly that. feeding the pigs looked good to him.

Consider for instance, the following passage from the first chapter: “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. (James 1:22-25; ESV)” The Bible is not meant to be a coffee table book, honored but never read, or read but never applied. It is not meant to be a family keepsake for the keeping of familial dates and the storage of important documents. Nor is it some talisman, the mere presence of which will bless a home, keeping away tragedy and evil. It is a book of wise instruction and sacred guidance for the securing of blessings and salvation.

AP Sports Writer Eric Christian Smith | AP file Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson warms up before an game against the Tennessee Titans Sunday, on Jan. 3, 2021 in Houston. Deshaun Watson stepped away from legal depositions and allegations of sexual misconduct on Thursday to meet his new team. Watson arrived at Cleveland’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio, the first step for him and a franchise investing in a player who has been accused by 22 women of sexual misconduct. Sunday saying the team went through a “comprehensive evaluation process” before deciding to pursue Watson and ultimately signing him. The Haslams flew to Houston and met with Watson along with Browns general manager Andrew Berry and coach Kevin Stefanski. “He was humble, sincere and candid,” the Haslams said. “In our conversations, Deshaun detailed his commitment to leading our team; he understands and embraces the hard work needed to build his name both in the community and on the field.” The Browns traded three firstround picks and six selections overall to the Texans for Watson, who may finally end Cleveland’s decades-long search for a franchise quarterback. Saint Peter’s rides stunning Sweet 16 run behind Edert By Dan Gelston AP Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA — Doug Edert could use a few wet wipes to keep all his free chicken wing sauce out of a wispy mustache so mythical it has its own Twitter account. Around tiny Saint Peter’s, students wear fake mustaches in honor of the guard that has plucked the Peacocks -- yes, the 15th-seeded, who-the-heckare-the Peacocks? -- from out of obscurity and into the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Edert, well, he’s earned more fame -- and tenders - out of one basketball weekend than most AllAmericans have all season. His last two Instagram posts before March showed the guard facial-hair free and writing motivational quotes. Fast forward to this month’s madness, and there’s Edert clutching a conference championship trophy, hamming it up for the cameras with his tongue wagging, and one finger-licking payoff --- Edert about to dig in on dozens and dozens of chicken wings and fries, an endorsement perk from an NIL deal signed this week. There’s also a link to buy from his “ Dougie Buckets “ T-shirt and sweatshirt collection. Edert has cashed in on the bracket and the bottom line. “The week has been crazy,” Edert said. Crazy is just one word for the aura around Jersey City and beyond for all of the 15th-seeded Peacocks (21-11) as they navigate their way through 15 minutes of fame at the same time they game plan against Purdue (29-7) in an East Region semifinal. Coach Shaheen Holloway has his own distraction to downplay as he’s emerged as a top candidate for the coaching vacancy at his alma mater, Seton Hall. His blueprint for building a winner isn’t necessarily found on his resume -- it’s slapped on a billboard along a New Jersey highway. His quote says: “I got guys from New Jersey and New York City. You think we’re scared of anything?” The Peacocks are putting the “fun, baby, fun” back in the tournament. “Obviously, with the media attention it’s good and bad,” Holloway said Thursday. “But this team, they’ve been good.” So good. Saint Peter’s started with a stunner when it knocked off No. 2 seed Kentucky, where coach John Calipari’s roughly $8-plus million salary dwarfs the Peacocks’ entire athletic budget, and then advanced 95 miles south to Philadelphia after a win over seventh-seeded Murray State. They are the third No. 15 seed to ever reach the Sweet 16. Florida Gulf Coast in 2013 and Oral Roberts last year both failed to reach the regional final. The bracket-busting from the team in the 3,200seat gym had them going national. Holloway pitched the Peacocks on “Good Morning America” and the upset earned laughs on late-night TV talk shows.

Russian Col. Gen.

Russian authorities said they are providing accommodations and dispensing payments to the evacuees. But Donetsk Region Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said that “people are being forcibly moved into the territory of the aggressor state.” Denisova said those removed by Russian troops included a 92-yearold woman in Mariupol who was forced to go to Taganrog in southern Russia. Ukrainian officials said that the Russians are taking people’s passports and moving them to “filtration camps” in Ukraine’s separatistcontrolled east before sending them to various distant, economically depressed areas in Russia. Among those taken, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry charged, were 6,000 residents of Mariupol, the devastated port city in the country’s east.

Lyudmyla Denisova, Ukraine’s ombudsperson, said 402,000 people, including 84,000 children, have been taken against their will. The Kremlin gave nearly identical numbers for those who have been relocated, but said they wanted to go to Russia.

The show was previously held in the fall but was switched to the spring to allow seniors to celebrate one last big moment, according to Nattalie Phillips, director of choir. The annual show has a variety of performances by students in the Madrigals — Gallia Academy’s show choir, including guests from the Academy A Cappella — singing non accompany and Mads in the Making — younger students from kindergar- ten to eighth grade. “It’s a show that is compromised of typically popular music,” Phillips said. “Sometimes it’s a current day. This year we’re actually highlighting music from the 60s and 70s. And it’s music form people such as Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding and Elton John, Michael Jackson and Jackson Five. So, it’s really kind of highlighting [a lot of] black artists of the 60s and 70s, but not officially. That’s just how it worked out because it’s great music.” This year’s choreography is by Ben Roche. “He’s a hometown guy and he has just brought a new element to the show,” Phillips said. “It’s really tough choreography. It’s really entertaining.” Students will also be performing solos that they have competed for. Phillips said students have been working on the songs for the show since August and the dances since January. While the Madrigals have been able to keep performing during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have not been able to have a full audience. “We’ve been really blessed,” Phillips said. “We did have to use masks and things like that, but we’ve been able to keep up the show through the entire time COVID [impacted events]. But we were limited to 90 audience members, which was very tough because our auditorium holds 600 people. So our students are used to performing to huge sell out audiences.” Phillips said the students normally perform for 1,200 people each weekend. This year there are no seating limitations or restrictions for the show. “Everybody’s welcome to attend and we hope that we can pack the Gallia Academy Vocal Music | Courtesy photos The class of 2022 is gearing up for their final Madrigal performance. place out,” Phillips said. After the weekend performance, the group will take the show on the road and visit the local elementary schools to perform for students. Phillips said the show will bring some much needed jubilation to attendees. “In a time such as this, when people need to experience joy and be reminded that there’s hope in the world and that good things are still happening, this would be a great way to know that,” Phillips said. “I think music education is resilient, but even more than that, children are resilient and they’re looking for a way to just share what they love to do. I think there’s no greater way to spread joy than music.” The event is scheduled for March 25 and 26 at 7 p.m. and will be on the Helen P. Newman-Johnson Stage at the Holzer Center for the Performing Arts, Gallia Academy High School. Tickets are $10 and concessions will be available. There is festival seating only. © 2022, Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Brittany Hively is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.
