OBITUARIES Page A5 • Gerald Lee Moore • Cecil Ray Miles WEATHER High: 91 Low: 72 INDEX HOEFLICH@MYDAILY SENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT– An ordinance governing the use and operation of underspeed vehicles on the streets of Middleport was given a third reading and adopted at a recent meeting of Middleport Village Council. The ordinance was passed by a vote of five to one with Sandy Brown ment is that the maximum attainable speed on village streets is 20 miles per hour or less. As for equipment, the rules and regulations of the Ohio Director of Public Safety pertaining to under speed vehicles must be followed. As for equipment vehicles must have two headlights with a minimum candlepower of sufficient intensity to reveal persons and objects at a distance of at 100 feet ahead; two red tail lights with a minimum candlepower of sufficient intensity to be plainly visible from a distance of at least 400 feet to the rear; directional signals; left side rear view mirror and a rear view mirror; and white light illuminating the rear license plate. Other requirements are that the vehicle must have a horn, windshield made of glass or safety glass and The welcome wagon BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — For years, walking into the lobby of the Meigs County Court House hasn’t visually offered much more than a restroom and an elevator - that has changed. Members of the inaugural edition of the Leadership Meigs County Class decided to choose the small lobby/visitor’s center inside the court house as their community service project. The class, sponsored by the Meigs County Office of Economic Development, had a $1,000 grant to spend on the project. Class members cleaned the area in preparation of painting it, put in new flooring and new countertops in the bathroom. In addition, small pieces of furniture and wall decor were added to make the area feel more like a welcoming living room than a sterile hallway with scattered brochures. Susan White of Pomeroy, a member of the class, said it took a couple of months to complete the project which was chosen out of all the other possibilities because members felt a makeover of the lobby/visitor’s center would affect and be visible to, the most people. In addition to the grant money, local businesses pitched in with donations of items amongst various maps and brochures of things to do and see in Meigs County. All of it was being showcased at Thursday’s ribbon cutting of the new lobby/visitor’s center.

My Mother Said; I No Longer Believe It” is the title of a book written by a native Meigs Countian who suffered though abuse and neglect and sent years in and out of foster homes and at the Meigs County Children’s Home. Erma (Bachus Older) Steppe, now in her midsixties, was involved with social services from the time she was three until she married at age 17. She ran away from the Children’s Home at age 16 in join her mother whose love she desperately sought but never got. In this poignant autobiography, she shares her heartbreaking story of a life shaped by per- sistent attempts to hear the words “I love you” from a mother who didn’t, and her struggle to reach a place where she could say a final goodbye to the woman who persisted in calling her a “nobody.” This is a story of the struggle of an uncertain childhood, of abuse, brutality, neglect, and desperation and of growing up feeling unwanted and unloved, and the final resolution. The author married at 17, divorced, went to college and has a degree from Morehead State University. She is now retired and resides in Farmers, Ky. She will be at the Meigs County Library, 216 West Main Street from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7, for a book selling and signing.

While a Bible will not be visible to them since it is imbedded in concrete, it was of special significance to the Christian youth group from a Chicago suburb church who placed it there when the new section of sidewalk was being poured.

Workers From Page A1 the Meigs Cooperative Parish in its mission of providing assistance to Meigs County’s disadvantaged families. Parish Director Alva Clark tells the story of the day the sidewalk was poured. He said that the morning the truck arrived with the concrete, there was no one on hand with experience on what to do with it. That was when a neighbor, Brian Buffington, with experience in handling concrete, recognized his plight and came to help. Clark said he breathed a sigh of relief and gave God all the credit for bringing someone along who knew how to put down concrete and could instruct the young people. The group of 54 young people came to Meigs County partly because of family connections of one of their leaders, Ted Grueser. His grandparents, Charles and Ruby Grueser, lived in Minersville. During their week’s stay, they lived in the basement of the Syracuse United Methodist Church. In addition to their work at the Community Center, the youth painted the gazebos in downtown Pomeroy and assisted several church families in home projects.

ATTEND CHURCH �Page A4 CHURCH NEWS A Hunger for More If you’re even remotely paying any kind of attention to what’s going on around you, there’s a ninety-five percent chance that you’re encountering people around you in your weekly experience who are “broken” (okay, I would have said “ninety-nine point nine nine nine nine” but I didn’t want to be obnoxious). By “broken” I simply mean that the person(s) in question is/are suffering somehow from inward distress due to fear/regret/pain (you name it) coming from either past experiences or choices, present difficulties, or future uncertainties (or undesirable “certainties” as the case may be). In fact, you may be a “broken” person right now, inwardly struggling but feeling like you’ve fallen off the wall and that “all the king’s horses” and “all the king’s men” are just not gonna cut it fixing your broken heart. Well, that might be right actually. The king’s horses and his men just can’t reach in deep enough to take all your pain away, erase the past, fix the present, and guarantee the future. They can’t... but the King can. It is after all why He came. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor, He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are downtrodden, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18-19 NAS). So when He sends out “all the King’s horses and all the King’s men” in Matthew 28, He’s sending them out to be vessels through whom He continues the min- Search the Scriptures “...these were more noble...they searched the scriptures daily...” BY THOM MOLLOHAN Thom Mollohan istry of preaching to the poor, proclaiming release to the captives, granting of sight to the blind, and setting free the downtrodden. “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20 NAS). What’s our business? Why are we here? It isn’t to fix people but it IS to lead them to the One Who can “put them together again”. “And it came about that while He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, ‘Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.’ And He stretched out His hand, and touched him, saying, ‘I am willing; be cleansed.’ And immediately the leprosy left him” (Luke 5:12-13 NAS).

Friday, August 5, 2011 This is the third, and last, article based on Gus Nichols’ sermon, “Dividing Line.” To recap, we’ve looked at Noah, Israel at the Red Sea, Naaman at the Jordan River. John 9:1-38 makes clear the dividing l line between blindness and sight for a blind man. Jesus’ disciples asked Jesus the cause of the man’s blindness from birth [vs.1-3]. Jesus anointed the eyes of the blind man with clay mixed with saliva, and told him to go the pool of Siloam and wash [vs.6,7]. The man’s obedience to Jesus’ command resulted in the receiving of his sight [v.7]. This caused a great stir among the man’s neighbors, and they asked him how his eyes were opened [vs.8-10]. He named Jesus as the one who anointed his eyes, and commanded him to wash in the pool of Siloam, but the man didn’t know where Jesus was [vs.11,12]. Reading further, we learn the neighbors brought the man to the Pharisees [v.13]; Jesus healed the man on the Sabbath [v.14]; the Pharisees questioned the man about how his sight was restored [vs.15-17]. A division arose among the Pharisees as to whether Jesus was from God. One group said He could not be from God because He had broken the Sabbath; one group countered by asking how a man who is a sinner could perform such a miracle [v.16]. They asked the man again, “What do you say about Him because He opened your eyes?” The man replied, “He is a prophet” [v.17]. Still unbelieving, the Jews called in the man’s parents to verify he had, indeed, been blind and now could see [v.1820]. An important piece of the narrative is found in v.22: “His pants said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.” Verses 24-29 tells us the Jews attempted to persuade the man that Jesus wasn’t from God, but was a sinner. They failed; the man staunchly told them it was a marvelous thing that, although it was obvious Jesus had restored his sight, they did not know from whence Jesus was [v.30]! Verses 31-33 report the man’s unassailable rea- ATTEND THE CHURCH soning that Jesus was from God. The encounter ended with the Jews casting the man out [v.34]. Jesus knew the man had been cast out, and He found him, and asked this question: “Do you believe in the Son of God? [v.35]. Note carefully the man’s reply: “Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?” [v.36]. After Jesus introduced Himself as the Son of God, we read, “Then he said, Lord, I believe! And he worshipped Him” [v.38]. In light of the assertion in today’s religious world that “faith” is an essential before healing can be done, isn’t it interesting that this blind man was healed before he even knew who Jesus was? Going back to the “dividing line,” water was the line between the man’s blindness and his seeing. To bring home the biblical truth illustrated in these 3 articles, in the New Testament water baptism is the dividing line between one’s soul continuing in a lost condition and being saved. Read Mark 16:15,16: before baptism, men are of the world and are lost; after hearing and believing the gospel, and being baptized, they are saved. Read Acts 2:38: after hearing the gospel, the ones present on Pentecost understood their lost condition, and asked the 12 apostles: “Men, and brethren, what shall we do?” After they repented, and were baptized, they had remission of sins, were saved. Note in v.38 that baptism and the receiving of the gift of the Holy Ghost are two separate events; by this we know the baptism spoken of is water baptism, not Holy Spirit baptism. Read Acts 22:16: Saul was zealous in his attempts to serve God; he was journeying to Damascus to arrest Christians, thinking he was serving God [Acts 22:3-5; 26:9-11]; his conscience was clear [Acts 23:1]. After meeting Jesus on the Damascus Road, Saul neither ate nor drank for 3 days, but prayed [see Acts 9:9,11]. His sorrow for his sins is evident, yet his sins remained upon his soul. When Ananias came to Saul, he said, “And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.” Since Saul had been praying for 3 days, it is obvious that “calling on the name of the Lord” is not referring to praying. The dividing line between Saul’s sinful state and the washing away of his sins is water baptism. Read Acts 8:27-39: we meet another zealous man. His zeal is expressed in the fact that he traveled many hundreds of miles to worship God in Jerusalem [vs.27,28]. After Philip preached to him Jesus [v.35], the man understood his sinful state and the place of water baptism in removing his sins, and asked, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” [v.36]. They both went down into the water, and Philip baptized him [v.38]. The dividing line between being sinful [though zealous and religious] and being free from sin was water baptism. The man continued his homeward journey rejoicing [v.39]. Even as the religious Jews ridiculed, criticized, and cast out the blind man, their actions didn’t change the fact that Jesus is the Christ and the man could now see. Today, religious leaders may ridicule, criticize, and discount water baptism. But, water baptism is still God’s dividing line between being a lost soul and a saved soul. On which side of God’s dividing line of water baptism are you? Please meet with the church of Christ, 234 Chapel Drive, and search the scriptures!

Likewise, in order to give away love, you must have love to give away. That love -- true love -- can come only from God, for he is the only source of unconditional love. As followers of Christ, we are instructed to let God's love flow through us to the world: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34). You are to love others as God loves you. However, if you don't know how much God loves you, then you can't love one another. Leviticus 19:18 says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Again, if you don't have love in you (for yourself and for God), then you can't love others. The Daily Sentinel OF YOUR CHOICE I can't give away what I don't have: If I can't love others, it's because I don't know that God loves me.

Shepherd – Part 2 BY PASTOR RON BRANCH Terry provides the money for groceries each week on the basis of the employment she has. Grocery shopping for her is almost like strategic warfare. She studies indepth the weekly selling agendas of the competing stores, and plans her attack. She can be downright ruthless when it comes to what she thinks amounts to saving money. Her most favorite reading material for the week is reading her lengthy grocery receipt printout, and then she brags to me about all that she has saved. She has become rather wily in her grocery shopping attack. Sometimes, instead of getting good stuff to eat this week, like Ho-Ho’s and Oreos, she will buy food items on sale this week to eat next week. The boys and I have suffered because of it. Then, she started doing this. Knowing that she was only going to budget certain amounts for groceries each week, she started making statements like, “Oreos were on sale this week, but I had to buy dish washing detergent.” Ever since then, I have — on my own — kept her stocked with Dawn to supplement her frugality. I was willing to shell out ninety-seven cents for a bottle. It was amazing, however, how she morphed to my countermove. She then stopped purchasing very many soft drinks. “We really do not need to be drinking so much pop,” she said. So, I Ron Branch started making independent forays to the store to have Diet Pepsi and Cream Soda in ample supply. It is the same way with milk, because “you guys drink so much of it.” Recently, she held up one of my T-shirts, and commented, “You know, I could probably get your T-shirts a little whiter if I had enough grocery money to buy better detergent than the cheap brand I get. Tide is the best, but it costs more.” Tide now sits on the laundry room shelf like first-place trophies. Paper towels and napkins sit in stock, too, because she has said it soaks her grocery money. But, it was the coffee that finally opened my eyes. Lying in bed one Friday night, just about asleep, her little, tender voice said, “Hey, Branchie — I did not buy coffee today because I ran out of grocery money. You are not going to have your coffee in the morning.” Sure enough, the next morning I found no coffee to make. Taking her into my arms, I said, “Terry, I tell you what — I get all these extra things thinking it helps you in your bargaining. But, you are going to manipulate me about it until I wind up buying all the groceries and give you the money to boot.” By contrast, this is exactly the same type of thing people do with their souls. We get into the habit of making incremental pay-outs to sinful practices not realizing that someday we will have to foot the whole bill. Jesus Christ asked a question that bites at us today, “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” You see, people are very hungry to keep selfsatisfied and gratified. Life is budgeted to a certain amount, and, because of it, we think we can if we supplement it with certain little payouts to lifestyles that feed our lusts, we are getting more out of life. But, there is a satanic strategy behind it all, leading up to the day when we realize we are paying for it all, and Satan is getting to keep it all. If you do not get it figured out quickly enough, you will be printed out on his receipt list. We need to remember that the Lord has paid the price not only for eternal life but also for abundant life. The great good He gives requires no incremental pay-outs. You might wonder why I don’t give Terry extra money to buy all those extra things. Hey, the woman is smart. She would just figure out another way to manipulate me! Last time we dealt with the thought that God truly has our back as a shepherd did in Bible times and still do to this day. We also mentioned that when we look at the 1st verse of the 23rd Psalm, what do we think about? What is our mental picture? Better yet, what is the reality of David’s description of Jehovah God as our Shepherd? A few translations of this verse were given and today I simply want to make mention of the fact that the literal translation and the way David wrote this verse comes from the Young’s Literal Translation — Jehovah is my Shepherd, I do not lack. Though the other translations are perfectly correct, yet this one is the one closest to David’s original meaning and arrangement of chosen words. In terms of Jehovah being our Shepherd as David describes him, he used the word Râ‘âh, which is to tend (a flock), graze; rule; a shepherd, leader, ruler. But the word “want” or haser deals with; to lack; by implication to fail, want, lessen :- be abated, bereave, decrease, (cause to) fail, (have) lack, make lower, want. (Strongs Dictionary). In other words, I might want otherwise, but when the Lord is my Shepherd he is able to supply my needs, and he is certainly willing to do so, for his heart is full of love, and therefore “I shall not Alex Colon want.” I shall not lack for temporal things. Does he not feed the ravens, and cause the lilies to grow? He will also feed me. I shall not lack for spiritual things; I know that his grace will be sufficient for me. I may not possess all that I wish for, but “I shall not lack.” Others, far wealthier and wiser than I, may want, but “I shall not.” “The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” Come what may, if famine should devastate the land, or calamity destroys the city, “I shall not lack.” Old age with its feebleness shall not bring me any lack, and even death with its gloom shall not find me destitute. I have all things and abound; not because I have a good store of money in the bank, not because I have skill and wit with which to win my bread, but because “The Lord is my shepherd.” The wicked always want, but the righteous never; a sinner’s heart is far from satisfaction, but a gra- cious spirit dwells in the palace of content. The Lord Jehovah is my Shepherd, I do not and will not lack. Do you understand that those who are the Lord’s are not to lack anything? This is a strong statement, but let’s consider one thing. If we do lack peace, joy, love, prosperity, shelter, food, etc, then the Shepherd has not been doing His job. Think about it for one minute! This is an absurd consideration, isn’t it? Could it be then, that we are looking at other things to do the job of the Shepherd, perhaps including ourselves? Just something to think about. I have concluded that I can not do the job of my Shepherd. I can only do the job of the sheep. Shepherding was considered one of the best occupations of ancient times. It was a good thing to be a shepherd because sheep provided milk, which people would also make cheese from. They also provided meat and wool for coats, garments, etc. As sheep we can say like Paul did: “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus,” (Phil 4:19). God supplies me so I can provide Him. He’s got to have my back and cover me so that I may provide Him what is due Him. More on this next time! Make it a Great Shepherd Day! Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. — Psalm 82:3-4 Getting into Heaven is not People do not like the whole truth of God’s Word about what you've done; movie “A Few Good comforting, I don’t B T J Men,” an unrepentant believe the purpose of Marine officer played by the Bible is to make anyweek I appropriit's about what God's done. atedLastwhat Jack Nicholson was one “comfortable.” It’s the Lutherans Y You have probably encountered a few people who hoped that they would get into Heaven because they have lived a good life. Indeed, there are many people in the world who think that all the right things they do will get them into Heaven. However, Paul knew that "There is no one righteous, not even one" (Romans 3:10). Fortunately, God loved us so much that He provided an answer: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Furthermore, 1 Peter 3:18 tells us that "Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." Therefore, it is no wonder Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Notice that nothing in any of those verses refers to our ability to reach Heaven. That's because it is impossible for us to reach Heaven on our own strength. Remember, "There is no one righteous, not even one." Therefore, our salvation must be based entirely on what God has done. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). The only requirement for getting into Heaven is believing in Jesus as your Savior and Lord. "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved" (Romans 10:910). There is nothing that you can do to earn salvation. Jesus is the only way to Heaven. That's because getting into Heaven is not about what you've done; it's about what God's done. Listen to your prayers, because they locate your level of spiritual maturity. What are you praying for? Are you asking God to give you more stuff--a bigger house, a new car, a bigger salary? What you pray for indicates what is important to you. It is a great lesson to examine what the people in the Bible prayed for. King David, in Psalm 27:4, prayed, One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. He asked God for just one thing: that he would dwell in God's presence. David clearly knew that in God's presence he would receive everything he needed (see Matthew 6:33). Paul also didn't pray for worldly things. Instead, in Philippians 1:9, Paul prayed that the church would walk in love: And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more. Paul knew the importance of love, and so he made it a point to pray that the church would grow more and more in love. HOMAS OHNSON down the street had posted on their sign-board. This week, I’ve targeted our Methodist neighbors across the street. Before I share with you their marvelous insight, think back a number of years to when a certain fast-food restaurant chain used an elderly lady in their commercials, and had her asking the question—“Where’s the beef?” Much to the chagrin and displeasure of that employer, she later went to work for another such company and answered her own question, saying ... “I found it! I finally found it!” Okay: here’s what the Methodists posted for us to read and heed: ... “A good scare is worth more to a man than good advice.” Whether they appreciate the essence of what they have said I do not know, but it occurs to me the Methodists may very well have “found it!” I know you wonder what the “it” is they have found: maybe, just maybe, the reason so many people seem oblivious to the Gospel—which is, of course, the Good News of Jesus Christ. Would it not be ironic if we who are preachers were the ones at fault for this?!? Perhaps it has become “standard operating pro- Thomas Johnson cedure” for some of us who are preachers to water-down our sermons so as to better appeal to our listeners and, at the same time, insure our own “job security” and keep the peace in our respective churches. God knows—and God forgive us if we’ve become politicians, relying more on the good will of our parishioners than upon the grace of God! The Apostle Paul wrote two epistles or, if you prefer, letters, to Timothy, his protégé, and warned Timothy against this very thing. Paul foresaw the day when people—not outside the Church so much as inside it—would seek out, and follow, those who told them what they wanted to hear. I know only too well people like to hear pious platitudes which instill in them lots of “warm fuzzies,” as opposed to sound, Biblical admonitions and precepts which convict and incriminate them (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Some years ago, in the under examination by a Navy lawyer, played by Tom Cruise. When the lawyer demanded the truth, Nicholson retorted ... “The truth? You can’t handle the truth!” Certainly it isn’t the norm, but even so among the Body of Christ surely it grieves the Lord when any of His people reject the Word, either as it is written or when it is proclaimed. Whatever became of the Psalmist’s selfdeclared attitude of gratitude for the opportunity to “go into the house of the Lord”? (122:1). Consider, too, that whereas the reading of God’s Word once met with an enthusiastic and vocal “Amen,” today it’s more likely to garner a bored and muttered, “So what?!?” I’ve come to the realization that people do not like the whole truth of God’s Word, and therefore don’t want to hear anything they might find offensive. Thomas Jefferson was one such individual, and so he excised and discarded complete passages from the Scriptures—resulting in a pseudo-Bible he himself was comfortable with. Correct me if I’m wrong, but tho’ I love the Bible and find certain passages to be very been my personal experience that some portions of Scripture are challenging, if not daunting to read, and still others remind me I am, in essence, a sinner saved by the grace of God. There’s a lot of “good advice” in the Bible, to which some seem to have a distinct aversion. If it’s a “good scare” they want, I cannot conceive of anything scarier than spending eternity in “the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Rev. 21:8). Perhaps you’ve been “de-sensitized” to this scenario yourself; if so, you’re not alone as it’s quite fashionable for ministers to talk about hell in terms of alienation from God. This latter construct obviously is more palatable and less offensive, but it may well be tantamount to tampering with the Word of God. On such ground not even angels would tread! Substitute anything for the Word of God is to earn the wrath of God, and thus exclude one’s self “from the Book of Life, the holy city, and all of God’s other blessings” (Rev. 22:19). Unless I’m mistaken, God made us in His image. Let’s not try to return the favor! �Friday, August 5, 2011 Bethel Center to show free movie TUPPERS PLAINS – Bethel Worship Center will host a free public showing of the recent hit movie, “Soul Surfer” this Sunday, Aug. 7, 6 p.m. The move is the inspiring true story of teen surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack and courageously overcame all odds to become a champion again, through her sheer determination and unwavering faith.

Wendy’s had been based in Dublin, outside Columbus, until 2008, when it merged with Arby’s and moved to Arby’s home turf in Atlanta. The short-lived marriage was dissolved last month when Wendy’s sold the struggling Arby’s chain to an Atlanta-based investment firm. The combined Wendy’s/Arby’s Group Inc. had about 400 employees in Atlanta. About 200 will remain to work for Wendy’s in jobs including IT and accounting. Another 120 will continue working for Arby’s, but they won’t be on the same floors as their Wendy’s counterparts. About 50 positions, including executive jobs, will move back to Ohio, and another 35 to 40 will be eliminated.

Serial killer’s halfsister says he hit a girl CLEVELAND (AP) — The half-sister of a Cleveland serial killer who hid the bodies of 11 women in his home and yard says he would get “angry” and once hit a girl and made her bleed. Tressa Garrison testified Thursday that 51-year-old Anthony Sowell would get angry if he drank alcohol and smoked marijuana at the same time. Sowell was convicted of killing 11 women last month. A jury will decide whether he should be put to death or get life in prison without parole. Garrison told the court about a time when her brother hit a girl who had been talking to her in an aggressive way. She says: “All he did was hit her once. She was bleeding all over the place.” Garrison and Sowell were both smiling as she recounted the story.
