(AP) — A Kentucky man has pleaded guilty in a construction scheme in three states, officials said. William Hurst, 44, of Morehead, Ky., admitted he agreed to building projects in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of West Virginia said. Hurst never began the projects or bought any materials, the release said. He admitted receiving more than $35,000 from the customers and eventually stopped communicating with them, the prosecutor’s office said. Hurst pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of wire fraud and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 28. He faces up to 40 years in prison. Rates for measles, other vaccinations dip for kindergartners By Lindsey Tanner AP Medical Writer A smaller portion of U.S. children got routine vaccinations required for kindergarten during the pandemic, government researchers said Thursday, raising concerns that measles and other preventable diseases could increase. Rates were close to 94% for measles, whooping cough and chickenpox vaccinations for the 2020-21 school year. That was down 1% from a year earlier and means 35,000 U.S. children entered kindergarten without evidence that they were vaccinated for extremely contagious diseases, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report. In addition, almost 400,000 fewer children than expected entered kindergarten and their vaccination status is uncertain, the CDC said. Pandemic-related disruptions likely contributed to the decline, the report said, See RATES | 10 Senior Airman Stephani Barge | U.S. Air Force via AP Pallets of ammunition, weapons and other equipment bound for Ukraine are loaded on a plane by members from the 436th Aerial Port Squadron during a foreign military sales mission at Dover Air Force Base, Del., in January.

Overall, Biden said that $6.5 billion in security assistance that Congress approved last month as part of a $13.6 billion package for Ukraine could soon be “exhausted.” With the latest announcement, Biden has approved about $3.4 billion in military aid since Feb. 24. Congress’ overall total also included about $6.8 billion in direct economic assistance to care for refugees and provide economic aid to allies in the region impacted by the war — and additional funding for federal agencies to enforce economic sanctions against Russia and protect against cyber threats. “Next week, I’m going to have to be sending to Congress a supplemental budget request to keep weapons and ammunition deployed without interruption,” Biden said. Congress has signaled it is receptive to further requests and has been expecting there would be a need for further help for the Ukrainians. But the issue could become entwined with partisan fights over pandemic spending and immigration, complicating the pathway. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has expressed a willingness to consider more aid for Ukraine in recent weeks. “I think we need to say we want the Ukrainians to win, and we’re prepared to do everything we can to help them win,” McConnell said Monday in Shelbyville, Kentucky. “We want to do more,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters at the Capitol, during an appearance with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal. She said lawmakers would learn more about Biden’s latest funding request “in the next day or so, to be taken up as soon as we can. Next week.” Biden did not detail how much additional funding he would request, adding that he was consulting with defense officials. Biden spoke on the new assistance, and more broadly about the situation in Ukraine, hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the strategic city of Mariupol. Putin, however, ordered his troops not to risk more losses by storming the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the war’s iconic battleground.

Daughter-in-law, Jessica, is a very beautiful young woman. And, she is also very smart. She holds a Ph. D. degree, and she is a professor at Murray State University. She will be eligible to become a tenured professor at the university in September. Keithen and Jessica have four children. Their two sons are involved in sports (the girls are in dance). Recently, Jessica took Brickston to Pastor baseball practice. Located across Ron from the ball field is a nice park with Branch a walking track. So, she decided to Contributing exercise a bit with a walk on the columnist track. She put in a set of earphones to listen to music as she started her jaunt. Outside noises were effectively diminished. She had not gone far when something hit her hard on the back of her head. Though stunned and pained from the blow, her initial thought was that she was getting mugged. She turned around defensively and was surprised to see a hawk winging low over her. It was the hawk that had attacked her head! She flailed her arms at the bird, all the while moving decisively away from it. The bird wounded the top of her head, leaving talon marks. Since the attack, people have teased her unmercifully about the hawk attack. Of course, I added my two cents worth. I told her, “I consider the attack as just one bird brain to another.” And, “Birds of a feather stick (or flock) together.” Brickston got in on the act, too. He stuck a Pringles chip on each of his lips to simulate a bird’s beak and flaunted it in front of his mother. The picture they took and sent to us was hilarious. Keithen thinks the hawk saw Jessica as a part of its food chain. But, my spin is that it espied her head of thick hair and considered it as a source for nesting material. Regardless, getting attacked by a hawk and receiving injury from it was utterly unexpected when Jessica started her walk. I mean, there are hawks in the trees at the Branch house, but if one would swoop down and attack me, it would not be expected. The same is true for you, too, because of the numbers of hawks in our area. By way of comparison, we often start our days not considering that we might encounter some sort of spiritual attack from the devil. It might come in the form of oppression. It might come in the form of sickness or injury. It might come in the form of a loved one who encounters certain problems. There are many reasons. But, the reason for it is because the devil is constantly “seeking whom he may devour.” He knows where See HAWK | 3 CONTACT US 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2022 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition.

God teaches and guides men in His Word through the use of direct commands. “Do not steal,” “do not lie,” and “do not commit adultery,” are all obvious examples of such commands. “Love your neighbor,” “pray without ceasing,” and “repent,” are others. Though men may not be obedient to the commands of God, and may even argue against the propriety of this command or that, the commands of God, as a rule, are easy to understand in our study of the Word. But, as Paul’s statement illustrates, God also uses examples as an instrument by which He guides and teaches His people. And these examples can be a little trickier at times to understand than the more obvious direct commands. The importance of examples as a method of learning is stressed throughout the Gospel. Paul tells the Thessalonian Christians that they “became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia (1 Thessalonians 1:7; ESV),” and later tells them that Paul and his companions had themselves, while with the Thessalonians, set forth to be an ple, so that you example worthy might follow in his of imitation (cf. steps (1 Peter 2:21; 2 Thessalonians ESV).” 3:9). Timothy, as However, not a preacher of the all examples are Gospel, was taught of a positive sort. to “set the believers an example in Search the There are negative speech, in conduct, Scriptures examples in the Scriptures, written in love, in faith, in Jonathan as warnings against McAnulty purity (1 Timothy certain behavior. 4:12; ESV).” The After detailing a elders and pastors of the church are likewise list of events from the Old encouraged, as leaders, to Testament account, the be “examples to the flock apostle Paul stated, “Now these things happened to (1 Peter 5:3).” James them as an example, but reminds his readers that they were written down they can learn from the for our instruction, on faith of the Old Testawhom the end of the ages ment prophets, saying, “As an example of suffer- has come (1 Corinthians 10:11; ESV).” Peter and ing and patience, brothJude likewise talked ers, take the prophets about the examples of who spoke in the name Judgment found on the of the Lord (James 5:10; wicked men of Sodom ESV).” Jesus Himself stressed and Gomorrah (cf. 2 Peter 2:6; Jude vs. 7). the importance of His The Bible is filled with own example.

Acts 15:36-40)? Discerning the answer to such questions requires not only analyzing the outcome, but being able to compare the behavior with the commands and principles of God. We cannot understand the propriety of an example if we do not have a solid benchmark to compare it to. Returning to Paul’s statement quoted at the beginning of this discussion, “, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ,” we see that Paul provides that solid point of comparison by which to judge his own behavior. In and so far as Paul was being like Christ, he was worthy of emulation. If and when, like all men, Paul fell short of that example, he was not worthy of imitation. All of which is to say, that the examples of Scriptures are powerful teaching tools to guide us and remind us, but to best use them, we must be diligent students of the Word. There is no short-cut to enlightenment here: we cannot understand the examples of the Scriptures if we do not first study and understand the commands of God. We cannot properly discern how good an example a man is providing if we do not first have our eyes fixed on the perfect example of Jesus Christ.

That doubting Thomas Have you ever been told something, and you just couldn’t believe it was true? Maybe one of your friends won a huge prize in a contest or something. It was wonderful but yet hard to believe it happened. You may have seen a copy of a book called Ripley’s Believe It or Not at school or in the library. It is a book filled with examples of things that seem impossible but are really true. Well, that’s what happened to one of Jesus’ disciples named Thomas.

In any given circumstance, the Lord wants us to have His peace, for peace will steady your spiritual faculties when under attack. Paul wrote, “The peace of God, which passes understanding, will keep your hearts (= how you feel) and minds (= what you think) through spiritually attacked. Apostle Peter exhorted, “Be sober. Be vigilant. For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom he may devour.” Do not let your guard down. Second, consider being loaded up with Scripture. Know The Book so that you can quote Bible verses or at least know where helpful verses are located. For example, when being attacked with fear, if you are loaded up with Scripture, you can reference TODAY WEATHER TODAY IN HISTORY Clendenin 76/53 Charleston 77/54 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
