Eblin recently addressed several matters in the village during an interview with The Daily Sentinel. Among the topics discussed were the hiring of a new fiscal officer, clerk of council and courts and marshal, as well as police protection, village revenue and a sink hole/ surface ground collapse on Main Street (State Route 124). Following interviews conducted last month from applicants for the fiscal officer position, Eblin explained that he was recommending that council approve the appointment of Susan Baker as fiscal officer and Tonya MillerEdwards as clerk of council and courts, splitting the previous fiscal officer/clerk position among the two. Council approved both appointments during Monday’s meeting. Of separating the positions, Eblin explained that Baker, who serves in the same role for a number of villages in the area including Pomeroy and Middleport, will not be conducting regular office hours in the village. She has committed to working 15 to 20 hours per month for the village, focusing fully on the fiscal administration, rather than office hours. Baker’s background allows her to bring approximately 16 years of experience to the position, as well as knowledge of laws and regulation which will be beneficial to the village. Miller-Edwards will work 24-30 hours per month for the village, working as both the clerk for the mayor’s office and mayor’s court, as well as council. “My proposal involving the change of departmental structure, to also be approved by the Council, allocates the Fiscal Officer 16 service hours monthly based on a flexible schedule and allocates the Clerk of Council and Courts 24 (four week months) to 30 (five week months) service hours monthly based on a routine schedule, a 17 percent decrease in compensated service hours from the current structure,” explained Eblin of the cost savings for the village with the positions. Additionally, Eblin is covering office hours in the village which will vary month-to-month based on his full-time employment schedule. As the mayor is not currently a paid position in the village, while the administration works to recover from a financial deficit, Eblin stated that he must rely on his full-time employment in addition to his work in the village. For the month of February, office hours are planned on Monday and Tuesday, with updated hours to be posted on the Mayor Tyler M. Eblin and Village of Rutland Facebook pages. In addition to the approval of the fiscal officer and clerk, during Monday’s meeting former councilwoman and fiscal officer Kimberly See RUTLAND | 3 Auditor’s sale held on foreclosed Meigs property Staff Report POMEROY — Meigs County’s first Auditor’s Sale in many years held last week has been deemed a success.

Remembering the Four Chaplains By Lorna Hart Rumored threat at local school investigated Staff Report REEDSVILLE — An investigation into a rumored threat at a local school was investigated on Thursday and found to be a rumor from conversations which occurred more than four years ago. A statement released on the Meigs County School Resource Officers Facebook page read as follows, Today, 2-6-20, Eastern Local School and the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office were made aware of a rumor circulating of a possible threat. After an extensive investigation conducted by the School Resource Officer and Eastern Local Administrative staff, it was discovered that this was in fact a rumor that had stemmed from two separate conversations as well as a conversation that took place between two students over 4 years ago. Rest assured, that the safety and security of our students and staff take priority and every report is taken very seriously. We encourage staff, students, and parents to continue to report any suspicious activity, comments, or concerns they may have. INDEX Obituary: 2 News: 3 Church: 4 Church Directory: 5 Sports: 6 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Weather: 10 Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — The selfless acts of four World War II chaplains was honored in a memorial service Sunday evening by Eighth District American Legion members at Drew Webster American Legion Post #39 in Pomeroy. The Four Chaplains, also referred to as the “Immortal Chaplains” or the “Dorchester Chaplains,” were four World War II chaplains who gave their lives to save other civilian and military personnel as the troop ship SS Dorchester sank on Feb. 3, 1943. The ship carrying the chaplains and approximately 900 others was a civilian liner converted for military use. The Dorchester left New York on Jan. 23, 1943, en route to Greenland as part of a convoy of three ships escorted by Coast Guard cutters. At 12:55 a.m., Feb. 3, 1943, the Dorchester was torpedoed by a German submarine in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. Survivors, including First Sergeant Michael Warish, recounted stories of the chaplains remaining calm during the panic following the attack, helping soldiers board lifeboats and giving up their own life jackets when the supply ran out. As survivors watched the ship rapidly sinking in the icy waters, they witnessed the chaplains with joined arms, saying prayers, and singing hymns as they went down with the ship. The Chaplains, all relatively new additions to the service, held the rank of First Lieutenant and included Methodist minister the Reverend George L. Fox, born in 1900 in Lewistown, Pennsylvania; Reform Rabbi Alexander D. Goode, born 1911 Brooklyn, New York; Catholic priest Father John P. Washington, born 1908, Newark, New Jersey; and Reformed Church in America minister the Reverend Clark V. Poling, born 1910, Columbus, Ohio. On Dec. 19, 1944, all four chaplains were posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross. The chaplains were nominated for the Medal of Honor but found ineligible as they had not engaged in combat with the enemy. Some years later Congress designated Feb. 3 as “Four Chaplains Day” and in 1960 authorized a special medal, the Four Chaplains’ Medal, which was presented to their survivors. The Four Chaplains story was so moving and representative of the sacrifices many made to save their comrades that it is remembered with ceremonies and services held each year on or around the Feb. 3. Post 39 officiated the activities with Chaplain Jerry Fredrick opening the observance and Commander John Hood welcoming guests. George Hoffman conducted a MIA/POW ceremony, followed by Wayne Thomas reading the “Saga of the Four Chaplains”. The following read tributes to each of the chaplains; John Hood, Goode; Dan Arnold, Fox; Wally Hatfield, Poling; and Steve VanMeter, Washington. The observance continued with a roll call of the Posts represented, lighting of memorial candles and placement of a wreath. Services concluded with Taps, a benediction, and the retiring of colors. National Weather Service rep. to lead exercise By Mindy Kearns Special to OVP JOIN THE CONVERSATION What’s your take on today’s news? Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Area agencies, volunteers, and members of the public will converge in Point Pleasant on Feb. 26 to conduct a weather related table top exercise, according to Matt Gregg, Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management for Mason County. Gregg said Tony Edwards, Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Charleston, will lead the exercise, which will mainly address flooding. The event will allow the agencies to come together with their present plans, play out a scenario on paper, and make sure they have achievable goals, Gregg said. Along with flooding, the group will address hazardous materials, public notification, public health, sheltering and mass care, as well as other issues. Gregg said invitations have been extended to fire departments, EMS, 911 telecommunicators, law enforcement, the health department, U.S. Coast Guard, faithbased volunteer groups, and the state Homeland Security office. He added agencies from Meigs and Gallia counties have expressed interest, as well. Gregg said living on the border next to Ohio can be both a blessing and curse when dealing with emergencies involving the Ohio River. “We share a common river, and share services such as the Coast Guard and Army Corps of Engineers, but have different state guidelines and are in different FEMA (Fed- eral Emergency Management Agency) regions,” he said. The table top exercise will adhere to Homeland Security national standards. It will begin at 11 a.m. at the emergency management center, located at 911 Emergency Drive. The event will last approximately two hours, with lunch being provided. Gregg said the event is open to the public, but to make sure there is adequate food and seating, those attending should register at mgregg@ masoncountyoes.com. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, February 7, 2020 OBITUARIES ELIZABETH JEAN ‘LIBBY’ ROTHGEB GALLIPOLIS — Elizabeth Jean “Libby” Rothgeb, 75, of Gallipolis, passed away on Wednesday, February 5, 2020 at Holzer Medical Center ER in Jackson.

Attorneys for Stanley Ford, 60, of Akron, previously argued that the death penalty should be removed as a sentencing option because Ford suffers from dementia and brain damage, the Akron Beacon Journal reported. Ford is charged with killing two people in an arson fire near his home in 2016, and seven people, including five children, in another arson fire in 2017. Authorities have accused Ford of setting both fires. Summit County Judge Christine Croce ruled that while evidence shows Ford has “some type” of vascular-related brain disease, experts did not reach a consensus on what effect it has on his cognitive function. Croce previously ruled that Ford is competent to stand trial. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Ohio Ballot Board allows minimum wage issue to proceed COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Ballot Board allowed a proposal to proceed that would amend the state constitution to raise the minimum wage. The amendment calls for annual boosts in the wage until it hits $13 an hour in 2025. The current Ohio minimum wage is $8.70 an hour. The board on Wednesday determined that the petition contains a single issue. That was the final step needed before backers could begin gathering signatures. Supporters hope to put the amendment on the November ballot. “There are workers around the state of Ohio who are ready to circulate these books immediately, just as soon as they’re printed off,” Anthony Caldwell, the public affairs director for SEIU District 1199, a union backing the campaign, told cleveland.com.

Due to the success of this sale, the taxes accrued on the property the problem area is in the village limits it is not yet known what assistance may be available. The letter which is being send to ODOT District 10 Deputy Director Darla Miller reads in part, It is my understanding that the repairs to the foregoing issues are the responsibility of my municipality. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the Village of Rutland does not currently have the equipment, manpower or adequate funds necessary to fulfill such responsibilities. Moreover, the Village of Rutland does not have employed a professional civil engineer to thoroughly evaluate the issues and/or develop a repair plan which may effectively render a long term solution. The Village of Rutland is seeking the generous assistance and cooperation of your district to aid in professionally evaluating the issues explained ahead of the preparation of an effective repair plan; in determining the associated costs; and in performing repair work which is determined necessary. Any and all financial assistance which the State of Ohio may be able to provide would also be greatly appreciated. Without the help of your district, the repaid of the issues explained in this letter would be essentially impossible, leading to further degradation of our municipality’s infrastructure and the jeopardization of the health and safety of our valued citizens. I am hopeful that your district may render assistance to the Rutland community that is much necessitated by these issues. Any and all assistance which your district and the State of Ohio may provide will be sincerely appreciated. It is unknown at this time what assistance may be available to the village. Eblin stated he plans to post the minutes and important information at the village office, the Rutland Post Office and online for easier access by village residents. He also encouraged the public to attend meetings or stop by during office hours. Rutland Village Council meets the first Monday of each month at 6 p.m. can now be distributed to the school district, township and other county entities. The property, which sold for $25,000, is located in Tuppers Plains. Byer-Hill said that it is possible that other auditor sales could take place in the future if there are properties which would qualify for the sale.

God gets weary of people attempting to play church, both by actual saints and those who are pretend saints. The contemporary church scene is characterized by many who merely play church. What does it mean to “play church with God?” In so many terms, playing church with God by people associated with the church involves the fake worship practices of going through the motions of church attendance and praise of God during the times of church meetings. It also involves not living in loyal and faithful fashion to the principles and expectations of God the rest of the time. The ramifications of such inconsistent spirituality instigate spiritual indifference in communities at large. Such a failed Christian witness does not make a necessary difference in cultural or moral conditions of society. God says, “Gather my saints together unto me that have made a covenant with me, and I will testify against thee.” According to the Psalmist, God will not fuss about attendance or the number of sacrifices made, but He will address the issue of His people not living truer and more consistently to “the promises you have made unto me.” What is at stake is the faithful exercise of the spiritual promises that are made to Him.

There are 328 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Feb. 7, 1964, the Beatles arrived at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to begin their first American tour. On this date In 1812, author Charles Dickens was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England. In 1817, America’s first public gas street lamp was lighted in Baltimore at the corner of Market and Lemon streets (now East Baltimore and Holliday streets). In 1940, Walt Disney’s second animated feature, “Pinocchio,” premiered in New York. In 1943, the government abruptly announced that wartime rationing of shoes made of leather would go into effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person per year. (Rationing was lifted in October 1945.) In 1948, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower resigned as U.S. Army chief of staff; he was succeeded by Gen. Omar Bradley. In 1962, President John F. Kennedy imposed a full trade embargo on Cuba. In 1984, space shuttle Challenger astronauts Bruce McCandless II and Robert L. Stewart went on the first untethered spacewalk, which lasted nearly six hours. In 1986, the Philippines held a presidential election marred by charges of fraud against the incumbent, Ferdinand E. Marcos. Haitian President-for-Life Jean-Claude Duvalier (dooVAHL-yay’) fled his country, ending 28 years of his family’s rule. In 1991, Jean-Bertrand Aristide (zhahn behrTRAHN’ ahr-ihs-TEED’) was inaugurated as the first democratically elected president of Haiti (he was overthrown by the military the following September). In 1998, the Winter Olympic Games were opened in Nagano, Japan, by Emperor Akihito. In 1999, Jordan’s King Hussein died of cancer at age 63; he was succeeded by his eldest son, Abdullah (ab-DUHL’-uh). In 2001, death claimed singer-actress Dale Evans at age 88 and author Anne Morrow Lindbergh, widow of aviator Charles Lindbergh, at age 94. Ten years ago: A nearly completed Kleen Energy Systems power plant in Middletown, Connecticut, exploded, killing six people and injuring 50. Pro-Russian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovych (yah-noo-KOH’-vich) declared victory in Ukraine’s presidential runoff, but his opponents rejected the claim, saying the vote was too close to call. (Yanukovych was inaugurated Feb. 25.) The New Orleans Saints rallied for a 31-17 Super Bowl victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Five years ago: Olympic gold medalist Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner was involved in a fatal multiple-vehicle crash on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California, that left one woman dead and several others injured. In a memo released by NBC, Brian Williams said he was stepping away temporarily from the anchor chair of the “NBC Nightly News” amid questions about his recollections of war coverage in Iraq (Williams ended up being permanently removed from the principal anchor chair, but remained with NBC News). One year ago: Former U.S. Rep. John Dingell, the longest-serving member of Congress in American history, died at his home in Dearborn, Michigan at the age of 92; the Democrat had served in the House for 59 years before retiring in 2014. Democrats launched a sweeping plan to transform the U.S. economy to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy; at least six senators running for president or considering White House bids backed the “Green New Deal.” Albert Finney, one of the most respected and versatile actors of his generation, died at a London hospital at the age of 82. Frank Robinson, the first black manager in Major League Baseball, died in Los Angeles at the age of 83. for it seems the comes with the people of the stipulated and statchurch are barely ed confession, but making a dent in it also comes with the character of the stipulated and society for the stated commitment name of Jesus to live according Christ. to the expectations Ron The Lord also and principles set Branch forth by God for the Contributing admonishes the pretend saint Christian.

They send support to food or child charities to mollify consciences. They say that church attendance is important, but do not go. All the while, God says these that play church “despise the instruction of God.” These “consent with the thief.” These “support the adulterers.” These “speak evilly.” These “speak lies.” These “are prejudiced.” These call “good evil, and evil good.” According to the Psalmist, God asks these who merely play church, “What do you have to do with me that you do or say things in my name?” According to the Psalmist, God says, “I will reprove you, and set you in order.” It is an offense to God for people to play church. The people associated with the church need to recognize what is at stake, and determine to get real with God. God makes it clear, “He that orders his lifestyle aright I will show the salvation of God. For example, do not align yourself with the providence of man, but with the providence of God. Do not let your lips utter profanity, but let your lips utter praise of God. Demonstrate complete faithfulness to God. Order your life around God. Do not order God around your life. Be right and real with God by practicing exactly His principles and expectations. Otherwise, if playing church is okay with you, have fun while you can. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. GOD’S KIDS KORNER Let your light shine! Our Bible verses this week are from Matthew 5: 14-16. They tell about how we should live our lives. They say we are to be the light of Christ to the world - just like everyone can see the light from a city that’s on a hill. Nobody would light a lamp, and then put it under a bowl, would they? They set the lamp on a table, so everyone can use it to see. We are to let our light shine too in a good way, so people can see how we love God. Then they will want to love and glorify Him as well. what our secret is. One of my favorThen we can tell ite things to remind them about Jesus myself and others and how He has is this: You may changed our lives be the only Jesus for the better.

Many times, like Him, we try our best it is from our example of to love everyone and do how we live our lives and good things. That is how we let our light – our God treat others. If they see we are happy, doing good light – shine for all to see. Try this week to things, and being kind, “shine” for Jesus and let they will want to know your “God light” show others the way to Him! Let’s say a prayer together to ask Him to help us do just that. Father, please help us to be loving and kind to others, so our light will shine for You. Let us be bright lights of good deeds, so others will want what we have in You. Then give us the chance to explain Your love and forgiveness as the reason why we are so happy. In Your name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. CROSS WORDS A personal plea for holiness I would be concerned if, when getting out of bed each morning, I had no thought of communing with God. If the demands of my day kept me from He who alone provides my every breath (Acts 17:25). If the notifications on my smartphone spoke louder than the cries of my desperate soul. If the urge of extra sleep kept me from spending time with the One who has awakened my soul from death to life (Eph. 2:5). I would be concerned if, when faced with the temptation to sin, I purposefully suppressed the voice of God. If the seriousness and danger of my sin became so nonexistent in my polluted mind that I became fully convinced of calling right what God has clearly called wrong. If the indifference to holiness caused me to feel no remorse over my sin, and I only felt numb to that which kills a man (Rom. 6:23). I would be concerned if, when talking with another person, I thought more of what that person thinks of me than what that person thinks of God. If I held the Spirit of the living God inside myself (Rom. 8:11) while people living in sin had no idea of what lived within me. to my soul.

Oh, Father. You call me to be holy as You are holy (1 Pet. 1:15-16). You call me to die to myself and follow after You (Matt. 16:24). I am sorry for making less of Christ in my daily life rather than making Him the aim of my affections. Forgive me. Make me desperate for You. And restore to me the joy of my salvation (Ps. 51:12). “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you doubleminded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you” (James 4:8-10 ESV). There is no sinner too far gone. No sin too much to forgive. His grace is enough for me and for you. Let us come boldly before the throne of our gracious God and receive mercy in our time of need (Heb. 4:16). Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

A new twist to the historic postseason chase. The ‘super-sectional’ element has been added this year to the 2020 Southeast Ohio District Girls Basketball Tournament brackets, which were released Sunday by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Instead of the traditional north/south or east/west breakdowns that have previously been used at the sectional level in all divisions, the Southeast Ohio District Athletic Board is using more of a universal approach this postseason by implementing a seeding process that applies throughout the district. Instead of two brackets at travel-friendly locations for different parts of the district in each division, the Southeast District tournament is now using a division-wide seeding system that has all programs capable of facing one another at any level of the postseason — particularly in the sectional rounds. The general concept is to ensure that the very best teams from the Southeast District are advancing deeper into the postseason, regardless of what side of the district a team hails from. For example, teams from Gallia or Meigs counties now have just as much of chance of playing programs from the west side of the district — say Hillsboro, Portsmouth, Whiteoak, etc. — in the sectional rounds as previous regulars such as Warren, Vinton County, Waterford, etc. Previously, those programs from the west side of the district were usually matchups to See DRAW | 7 Red Wolves rally past Rio women Golden Eagles hold off Southern By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com BELPRE, Ohio — So much for second chances. The Southern boys basketball team — which dropped a 66-63 decision to Belpre on Jan. 7 in Racine — fell to those same Golden Eagles by a 48-43 tally on Tuesday in Washington County. After a 9-9 tie eight minutes into play, Belpre (12-8, 10-4 TVC Hocking) — which has won three league games in a row — went on a 12-to9 second quarter spurt for a 21-18 halftime lead. Southern (7-10, 6-6) got one point back in the third period, outscoring BHS 15-to-14 to make the Golden Eagle lead 35-33 with eight minutes to play. The Purple and Gold scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, but Belpre capped off the 48-43 win with a baker’s dozen, including a 9-of-14 performance from the free throw line. For the game, SHS was 6-for-9 (66.7 percent) at the foul line, to go with 17 two-pointers and one triple. Meanwhile, the hosts made 14-of-20 (70 percent) free throws, and had four of their 15 field goals come from downtown. Arrow Drummer led the guests with 19 points, featuring eight field goals and a trio of free throws. Cole Steele and Trey McNickle scored 11 points apiece for Southern, with Steele claiming the team’s lone trifecta. Coltin Parker rounded out the Tornado total with one point. Connor Baker paced Belpre with 17 points, followed by Logan Adams with 13 and Eric Dotson with 11. Nick Godfrey scored three in the win, while Evan Wells and P.J. Alder tallied two each.

But Tuesday night’s game at Indiana University East, which produced a 10th loss for head coach David Smalley’s club, was one that may prove haunting for some time to come. Rio Grande squandered a 20-point second quarter lead, as the host Red Wolves rallied for an 87-80 win in River States Conference play at Lingle Court. The RedStorm, who entered Tuesday night’s matchup with wins in four of their previous five outings and seven of their last 10, slipped to 16-10 overall and 8-4 in the RSC with the loss. IU East, which dropped an 86-79 decision at Rio on January 4, upped its record to 8-18 overall and 6-6 in league play. The Red Wolves appeared as if they would be the ones being devoured after the RedStorm reeled off 17 straight points at one stretch en route to a 36-17 lead at the end of the first quarter. Freshman Kaylie Apperson (McConnelsville, OH) fueled Rio’s blistering start by connecting on all five of her three-point goals in the opening period. Fellow frosh Samaria Rodgers-Gossett (Columbus, OH), who finished with a career-high 12 points of her own, connected on one of two free throw attempts just 39 seconds into the second stanza to give the RedStorm their seemingly insurmountable 20-point cushion but, somewhere along the line, the memo that told the hosts they were supposed to go away quietly never got delivered to the IUE bench. A 15-2 spurt following the Rodgers-Gossett free throw pulled the Red Wolves within 39-32, although Rio did restore a 13-point edge by halftime, 50-37. Courtesy photo Rio Grande freshman Kaylie Apperson connects on one of her five three-point goals in Tuesday night’s 87-80 loss at Indiana University East in Richmond, Ind. But IUE continued its surge — and then some — in the second half. The Wolves tied the score at 56-all thanks to a bucket by Megan Harlow — her only field goal of the night — with 4:36 remaining in the third quarter, but Rio got eight straight points from sophomore Avery Harper (Seaman, OH) to regain a 64-56 cushion with 2:51 left in the period. IUE finished the stanza on 8-0 run to knot the score again and then took a 66-64 lead — its first advantage since 2-0 — on a layup by Reagan Hune with 9:15 left to play. Rio Grande managed to tie the game three more times after than, but never led again. The Red Wolves posted an 11-3 run after the last of the three deadlocks, culminated by an Addie Brown free throw with 2:07 remaining following a technical foul that was assessed to Smalley, to take their largest lead of the night, 81-73. Rio got no closer than four points (twice) from that point on, as IUE went 6-for-8 at the charity stripe over the final 28.1 seconds to nail down the come-frombehind win. Brown had 24 points to lead the Red Wolves, while Kamiylah Bomar netted 17 points and Hune had 16 points, six steals and three assists in the winning effort. Zikaya Wright also had seven rebounds and two blocks for IUE. In addition to Apperson and Rodgers-Gossett, Rio Grande had four players finish in double figures. Harper equaled Apperson’s team-high of 15 points, freshman Lexi Woods (Waverly, OH) netted 11 points, while the duo of senior Sydney Holden (Wheelersburg, OH) and freshman Hailey Jordan (Columbus, OH) contributed 10 points each. Jordan also had a game-high 10 rebounds, while Holden also had nine rebounds and seven assists. The RedStorm shot just 30 percent in the second half after notching a 58 percent clip prior to halftime and also committed 23 turnovers — 13 of which came after the break. Rio Grande returns to action on Saturday afternoon when Ohio Christian University visits the Newt Oliver Arena for a 1 p.m. tipoff.

The RedStorm were playing without the services of sophomore Gunner Short (Catlettsburg, KY), who missed the game with a sore knee, but still found themselves locked in an 18-18 tie after a bucket by senior Hadith Tiggs (Mayfield Heights, OH) with 9:07 left in the first half. Unfortunately, those would be the last points scored by Rio for just over 10-1/2 minutes. By the time the RedStorm scored their next point on a free throw by freshman Shiloah Blevins (South Webster, OH) with 18:33 left to play, IUE had built a commanding 40-18 cushion and the contest was, for all intents and purposes, over and done with. The Red Wolves eventually built a 31-point advantage, 64-33, following a three-pointer by Garrett Silcott with just over 8-1/2 minutes remaining and Rio got no closer than 19 points the rest of the way. IU East shot 57 percent for the game — 60 percent in the opening half and 55.2% over the final 20 minutes — and connected on 11 of 19 three-point attempts (57.9%) against the nation’s fourth-ranked team in terms of threepoint field goal defense. Nine different players scored for the Red Wolves, with reigning RSC Player of the Week Bishop Smith netting a game-high 21 points. He also handed out a gamebest six assists. Silcott finished with 17 points and three blocked shots in the winning effort, while Jehu Lafeuillee tallied 12 points, a team-high seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks of his own. Rio Grande, which shot just 28 percent from the floor in the first half, didn’t fare much better after the intermission and finished the Oliver Arena.

Later, his 2-year-old son, Zion, asked Berry if he could wear a helmet. The Browns have turned to youth in their front office. Maybe this will work. At just 32, Berry is believed to be the youngest GM in NFL history and he’s returned to Cleveland after one season in Philadelphia to encounter some familiar problems with the Browns, who remain unstable, underachieving despite a talented roster and without a playoff appearance since 2002. Berry said he returned to the team in part for a chance to work with new coach Kevin Stefanski, who was hired last month after 13 seasons in Minnesota. Stefanski’s only 37, giving Cleveland a fresh, young duo of decision-makers the Browns hope can grow and thrive together for years. “I am much older than Andrew,” Stefanski quipped, adding he missed his own kids after seeing Berry’s. Berry joked he didn’t receive an upgraded parking space upon his return to Cleveland, where he was vice president of player personnel from 2016-18 under GM Sashi Brown. During that span, the Browns went 1-15, 0-16 and only made minimal improvement because of some poor drafts. The team was often accused of “tanking” to get high draft picks and they used the No. 1 over- all selections in 2017 and 2018 on star defensive end Myles Garrett and quarterback Baker Mayfield, respectively. Berry isn’t hiding from his role in not making the Browns much better, but he’s determined to get things right this time around. “That stretch is a very painful period for our fans, for the city and for everybody internally in the organization,” he said. “I can assure you that all of us that were there during that time period were equally disappointed with the results during that time. Now, the one thing I can say is that the team and the organization is at a much different state than it was heading into that 2016 season, whether it was the foundation of the roster or the overall strategy. “There is no secret that the strategy at the time was to accumulate assets, whether it was cap space, picks and players, that would lead to a foundation of long-term success, but I can assure you that winning is at the forefront of everyone’s minds in the organization.” Berry is just the second current AfricanAmerican GM in the NFL, joining Miami’s Chris Grier. He’s proud to follow in the footsteps of black executives like Ozzie Newsome. Berry’s sensitive to the league’s poor track record with minority hiring, and remains hopeful others will get the same opportunity he’s been given by the Browns. “Part of this is exposure,” said Berry, who was joined at the news conference by his wife, Brittan, his parents and TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 33° 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. 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Thu. 0.31 Month to date/normal 0.78/0.65 Year to date/normal 4.13/3.62 Snowfall (in inches) The AccuWeather.com Cold Index combines the effects of local weather with a number of demographic factors to provide a scale showing the overall probability of transmission and symptom severity of the common cold. 4 24 hours ending 3 p.m. Thu. 0.0 Month to date/normal 0.0/1.8 Season to date/normal 1.0/13.3 WEATHER TRIVIA™ SUN & MOON Q: When was the worst ice storm in the United States?

Signing day surprises are now rare as most teams have their classes complete or close to it in December. Ohio State, for example, signed one player Wednesday to complete its class. Two of the few decisions that could be called surprises involved Florida schools. Four-star safety Avantae Williams from Deland, Florida, signed with Miami instead of the University of Florida. And Florida State lost out on fourstar receiver Malachi Wideman, who flipped from a longtime verbal commitment and signed with Tennessee.

I think certainly part of it is just increasing awareness because listen, there are a ton of talented executives across the league already.” Berry’s first week on the job has been focused on getting aligned with Stefanski on their vision for the Browns before digging into other areas. Berry did address some other key issues: — He’s confident Mayfield will rebound after struggling in his second season. Berry had a hand in drafting the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner and his view of him hasn’t wavered. “Still have a lot of belief in Baker as a quarterback, his talent and what we think he can become in the NFL,” he said. “Looking forward to seeing what Kevin, (offensive coordinator) Alex (Van Pelt) and his staff do with Baker this spring and into the fall. We are really excited about his future, and I am really excited about the work that Kevin is going to do with him.” — Berry eased the concerns of some Browns fans who worried the team was going to become more reliant upon analytics as the basis for decisions. “We will be a scouting-centered front office because I have always believed and I continue to believe scouting to be the lifeblood of roster building in the NFL,” he said. 8 PM ALMANAC High/low Normal high/low Record high Record low Handful of elite programs hoard most top recruits 40° 25° 31° Daily Sentinel Charleston 35/27 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Bordered by 57.2 miles of Ohio River frontage, Meigs County offers a beautiful place not only to enjoy boating and water sports, but also fishing and wildlife. We invite you to come and enjoy the beauty of our county. With several family-friendly festivals that take place throughout the summer and rich historical places to check out, Meigs County is a unique place to visit. Charming communities along the river and a flourishing arts and music scene are all here for you to enjoy. Meigs County has several unique shops. Shops from primitive items and antiques to designer clothing and more. Our shops are all ran by some of the nicest business owners around who are quick to appreciate your business. As we entered 2019, we had the distinct honor of celebrating our bicentennial. On January 21, 1819, the Ohio General Assembly passed an act to create Meigs County. The official formation of Meigs County, the election of the first county officials, and the first county meetings, would not occur until April 1819. Many years ago, I worked for the railroad in central Pennsylvania. I received many comments about my dialect, which you have whether you believe it or not. One day a gentleman I was working with asked me where I was from. I proudly responded, “southeastern Ohio” to which he responded, “I could tell you were from southern somewhere.” I appreciate our dialect because it has a casual comfort that radiates kindness. Perhaps our heritage that comes out in speech is a good representation of us. Come visit and let’s talk.” Tim Ihle, Meigs County Commissioner I am obnoxiously proud of Meigs County because of the people who reside here. If one person needs help, there are many who turn out to help. If one person is struggling, many are there to pray for them. If one person is successful in business, many come out to support and celebrate. If one person is down, many are there to lift them up. Martin Luther King Jr once said, “We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” And that is the image I see when Meigs County comes together.” Rev. Randy Smith, Meigs County Commissioner Meigs County is blessed in many ways. I love the small town and close community atmosphere. I am proud to be from the rolling hills of Meigs county. Each of our twelve townships are unique in their own way. We have a bounty of beauty here within our county. We are blessed with some of the best people in this great nation. We all work hard together to accomplish our goals. Come to Meigs county and visit. You will have a great time and not be disappointed.

The Mound Cemetery Mound was named to the National Register of Historic Places. 60701655 "��� �Ƃ���1� �/"�� ��-� "1 /9�ÓäÓä | 19 �Photo by The Blakeslee Center The café at The Blakeslee Center Photo Ph t b by Th The Bl Blakeslee k l C Center t The Blakeslee Center By Beth Shaver NEW IN TOWN: .���� è �� p��� ��� The opening of The Blakeslee Center in 2020 will bring a mix of old and new services and programs to Meigs County and the surrounding region.

The Council began the search for a suitable building and a new model that reflects a growing and changing population of older adults and their families. The Council settled on the former Middleport High School as the location of their next “home” over 10 years ago and bought the campus from Middleport Village in 2014. The staff of the Council have completed many of the renovations while hiring professionals for specific parts of the endeavor. The process has been ongoing for nearly six years and will result in a highly functional and beautifully restored historic building that can resume its function as a community focal point. The project has been financed with Capital Campaign donations, the Council’s earned income, fundraising and some foundation grants. The work proceeded as funding was available and the Council is forever grateful for the support of the individuals who “believed in the vision” and donated to the Capital Campaign.

Housed within The Blakeslee Center will be the Meigs Council on Aging offices and services, The Brick House Fitness Center, The Old School Café, The Blakeslee Center Banquet Hall, a conference center, game rooms, adult day care, arts and crafts rooms equipped to provide a space for con- struction of theatrical props, and a newly designed Performing Arts Center with a furnished green room. The name of the Theater will be revealed later this year. Outside fitness equipment was installed in a partnership with the Sister’s Health Foundation a couple of years ago and an outdoor fenced green space will be available for outside dining and entertaining. The Blakeslee Center will provide a beautiful space for weddings, reunions, business meetings and trainings, conferences, plays, concerts, breakfast or lunch with friends, parties, and games. All of this as well as daily activities and “Events on the Lawn” on a regular basis. The Blakeslee Center was featured in the International Council of Active Aging’s magazine last year. The Council on Aging will utilize the principals of the ICAA as well as their Dimensions of Wellness in the design of every program and service offered at The Blakeslee Center. These ideals will address the holistic approach to wellness for all who visit and participant, creating a rich experience for our visitors. 165 COLUMBUS ROAD, ATHENS, OHIO (740) 592-1692 | (800) 592-4464 ���������������� �����������!������������������ ������������ Welcome to Mason County 201 Viand Street Point Pleasant, WV 25550 www.masoncountytourism.org Director 304.675.6788 Denny Bellamy Hours:������� �������� �������� � ���� �������� � ������ �������� � ���� ��� ���� ������� OH-70169107 Explore our museums, parks and historic sites Service Hours:������� � ���� �������� � ������ ������� � ���� ��� ���� ������� OH-70168197 "��� �Ƃ���1� �/"�� ��-� "1 /9�ÓäÓä | 21 �LOCAL SPOTLIGHT �œÀŽi`�,՘�>˜`�,ii`Ãۈi Located at 63300 State Route 124 in Reedsville is Forked Run State Park, featuring hiking, kayaking, swimming and much more for those of all ages.

By Christina Richards One wouldn’t think of a quarter century as ‘time flies’, but if you ask Isabel Dill, founder and host of the Saddle Up for St. Jude Trail Ride, she will tell you time has done just that, because she and all of the folks who volunteer for this event, are having fun — with their fundraising. The annual event, hosted by Isabel and Mike Dill, along with many family members and friends, raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Normally held on the 3rd Saturday of September each year, this year’s event will be on Sept. 19. The 2020 edition marks the 25th year for the ride. The day begins with registration, at 9 a.m. on the Dill Farm, which is located on Beech Grove Road in Rutland. Everyone saddles up around noon, when the ride begins, but you don’t need a horse to participate. Guests from all over West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and surrounding states make the journey, Photo by Christina Richards Riders make their way along the trail during the annual ride.

The September 2019 ride saw of turnout of 182 registered riders and volunteers. They recognized a total donation of $18,370. Since the first ride in 1995, Isabel estimates the running total of donations to St. Jude to be nearly $331,000 — an incredible accomplishment by any standards.

The cost to participate is a donation, in whatever amount the rider is comfortable with as their registration fee, noting that all proceeds go directly to St. Jude. The trail is roughly ten miles long, and follows the wooded hills of Rutland Township, crossing a few property lines along the way, and eventually ending at the Dill Farm. There is a break in the middle of the relaxing journey, offering water to the horses and refreshments to the riders. Not long after all riders have returned, and when the day’s heat starts to give, the auctions and dinner begin. The meal provided is free, as it is included in your donation. Guests are treated hot dogs, a hog roast, a kettle of beans and a side of corn bread. Hogs are Better. purchased from the Meigs County Fair each year, by both Famers Bank & Savings Company and Home National Bank, and then donated to the ride. K&L Processing of New Haven takes care of processing the hogs, also at no cost to the Dill Family. Ed and Kenny Turley and family manage the food preparation and also contribute a huge kettle of beans and cornbread. You won’t leave hungry. So, what started this lifelong journey? A riding club that Isabel had joined inquired if she would be interested in hosting a trail ride, in 1995, and the rest is history. When asked what keeps her motivated to continue, because it is a lot of work, Isabel replied that she and her husband talk about that a lot. “When you think about the children you are helping it is all worth it. We feel if we can even help one child, it is all worth it. The hurdles these kids face continue to put life in perspective for the rest of us”, said Isabel. With St. Jude, when a child is ill, that should be the families only focus, keeping their child alive. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude, not for treatment, travel, housing, nor food. Treatments developed at St. Jude have helped move the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent today. Per their mission, they “won’t stop until no child dies from cancer”. Numerous local businesses, too many to list, along with guests, friends, and family members, make Stronger. the day a success. Donations comprise both the live auction and silent raffles. Exciting news already noted for the 25th anniversary ride, is that Mark Porter Auto Group has committed to donating two, $500 gift cards for the day’s raffles. The family’s goal is to set a record in honor of the 25th year, in both attendance and donations. If you would like to make a donation to the Trail Ride, or lend a hand this year, give Isabel a call at 740.742.2849, email her at isabeldill@hotmail.com, or find her on Facebook under Dill Farm. She can always use donations in any amount, or an auction item, or just one more hand on deck! You can also visit www.stjude.org to make a donation, or honor a loved one with a donation. Faster.

Meigs County was named for Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr., who held various offices such as an Ohio Governor, Senator, a judge for the North- west Territory, Judge of the Supreme Court of Ohio, and General during the War of 1812. Meigs even served in the cabinets of United States Presidents Madison and Monroe. Even before Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr. was doing all these things, and prior to statehood, the area of Meigs County was growing and developing. Throughout the Courtesy of the Shain Family The Riverside Mill Company was located in Antiquity in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

From the Native Americans that lived throughout the Ohio River Valley to Rene Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle’s expedition to the days of steam boats, barges and pleasure boating, the Ohio River has continued to flow past Meigs County. At times the river has caused flooding and devastation, but it has also brought commerce, tourism and joy to anyone that takes the moment to watch the ever present waters roll by. Along the river many communities popped up through the years including Reedsville, Portland, Letart Falls, Racine, Syracuse, Pomeroy and Middleport. The Ohio River is very different today than it was to those from the early set- tlers. The Ohio was naturally shallow. Through the development of dams, the river was deepened and widened. During those early days of settling, it was hazardous to navigate at times and even included rapids. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark even wrote about the rapids and their hazards at Letart Falls. The river has also had an influence in naming a village in the county. According to Historic Tales of Meigs County, Ohio by Jordan and Calee Pickens, “The Ohio River is also to thank for the name of the village of Middleport. Phillip Jones noticed crews on flatboats coming downriver from Pittsburgh, and keelboat crews coming upriver from Cincinnati would often meet near the town he was laying out about the mouth of Leading Creek. There they would switch vessels and go back to their respective cities. Because of this middle location, or port, in 1841, Jones decided to name the new village Middleport.” To the early settlers, salt was a very important commodity, particularly in the use of preserving food. Meigs County was rich with salt and so the salt mining business brought prosperity for the area. Salt continued to be mined until the 1970s in the county. The Ohio River played an important part of transporting salt out of the county. Transportation of another resource of Meigs County was also important on the Ohio River. Coal was mined throughout the county and transported on barges. Wooden barge production were known in the county, particularly at the community of Antiquity. Just up river from Racine, Antiquity was the site of building countless barges. Wood gave way to steel and once again things changed along the river. The Ohio River has also been a source of pleasure for residents and visitors a like. During the days of steamboats, it was a common occurrence to see the familiar look of paddle wheels up and down the river. This was known as the Golden Age of Steamboats through the 1850s to about 1870. Wooden skiffs were also made at the Weaver Skiff Works in Racine. The skiffs were used as lifeboats on steamboats among other uses. Through the years the Ohio River has been part of commerce and celebration along the shores of Meigs County.
