The thrift store is part of the Bethel Worship Center ministry, and provided Christmas gifts for over 150 children in 61 families in their recent toy giveaway. Jill Holter began the program as a way of anonymously providing Christmas gifts to children who might otherwise not receive any. Sales from the thrift store and contributions by Church members fund the project. For the past three years, Janice Middleton has been running the store with Holter. They, along with other volunteers, clean, refurbish, and package donated toys and games before displaying them for purchase in the front room of the store. Clothing and household items are in two additional rooms. “We work very hard to make sure the toys are clean and the pieces are together,” Middleton said. “If there are parts missing, we put that information on the bag the toy is in. We want people to know what they are purchasing.” Families in Meigs County and the Coolville area in need of assistance are asked to bring a wish list to the store in October. Church members are given the wish list and $50 to shop. The items are brought back to the store and placed in bags or boxes with the name of the recipient. During pickup day, recipients can also shop at the store and purchase additional items at low cost. Middleton said, “Many Church members purchase the gifts using their own money, allowing the store to spend the $50 on another child. Our members are so generous.” Holter agreed, and said that raising money is a year round project, See JOY | 5 By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmedaimidwest.com Courtesy photos Museum volunteers assist children with crafts as part of Kids’ Day at the Museum.

Santa visits Kids’ Day at museum By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel MIDDLEPORT — Santa was sighted at the Meigs County Historical Society Museum on Saturday. Proving once again that Saint Nick sees all, the jolly fellow had no trouble finding the Society’s new location in Middleport. The museum recently moved from Butternut Avenue in Pomeroy to 399 South Third Avenue, Middleport. The renovation process of buildings gifted to the Society in 2017 is well underway. Half of the main building is complete and includes a children’s area with space for activities and crafting that teach Meigs County history. The display area highlights antiques like a piano, sewing machine, telephone switchboard, and toys typical in past eras. Memorabilia from a Meigs County icon, the Skate-Away in Chester, is prominently featured. The Skate-Away roller rink is fondly remembered by several generations of Meigs residents. The hotspot was the gathering place for teens on Friday and Saturday evenings. Skaters from all parts of the county were often transported to and from the facility by the Facebook “f ” Logo INDEX Obituary: 2 Opinion: 4 News: 5 Sports: 6 TV: 7 Classifieds: 8 Comics: 9 Weather: 10 CMYK / .eps Facebook “f ” Logo Remington Thomas is pictured with Santa at the Meigs Museum.

Parker appeared alongside attorney Charles Knight for a brief hearing in which Prosecutor James K. Stanley presented the court with a “Nolle Prosequi” stating that the prosecution did “not believe it could proceed to trial.” According to indictment paperwork from Meigs Common Pleas Court filed in August, Jacob Parker, 25, Tuppers Plains, “on or between December 1, 2018 though January 31, 2019,…did commit the crime of sexual battery, in that Jacob Parker, did, engage in sexual conduct with another, not the spouse of the offender, when the offender is a teacher, administrator, coach, or other person in authority employed by or serving in a school…the other person is enrolled in or attends that school, and the offender is not enrolled in and does not attend that school…”. Parker was the Eastern girls basketball coach. In the entry, Stanley stated that the alleged victim in the case failed to appear at a meeting for final trial preparation on Dec. 16. The victim has also reportedly moved out of state and was not served with a subpoena in the case. Additionally, the filing states, “The victim also told the victim assistance director that she would not cooperate with the state and would cooperate with the defendant if compelled to testify.” Knight told the Sentinel he had not been in contact with the alleged victim regarding any cooperation with the case.

Jake May | The Flint Journal via AP Trump supporters protest outside a town hall meeting where U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., spoke on Monday in the Oakland Center at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich. Slotkin was both heckled and applauded as she declared that she’ll vote for both articles of impeachment. House nears historic impeachment; Trump cries ‘perversion’ WASHINGTON (AP) — On the eve of his all-but-certain impeachment, President Donald Trump fired off a furious letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Tuesday denouncing the “crusade” against him but acknowledging that at this point he was unlikely to change any votes. At the Capitol, meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans sparred over the rules of debate for Wednesday’s historic session, setting aside the lofty rhetoric of constitutional duty for the rugged politics of the House action and the Senate trial that is expected to follow. Trump, who would be just the third U.S. president to be impeached, seemed resigned to the House-then-Senate scenario, aiming his message less at Pelosi and House Democrats than the broad audience of citizens — and 2020 voters — closely watching. In the fiercely accusatory, sometimes rambling six-page letter, Trump defended his “absolutely perfect” phone call with the Ukraine president that sparked the impeachment inquiry. He also tried to justify anew the Ukrainian investigations he wanted into Democratic rival Joe Biden while withholding military aid from the vulnerable U.S. ally and disputed the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congres’ investigation in the charges against him. “Ÿou are the ones bringing pain and suffering to our Republic for your own selfish, personal political and partisan gain,” Trump contended, accusing Democrats of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” while still smarting from their 2016 election losses. Painting himself as a blameless victim, as he often does, he compared the impeachment inquiry to the ‘’Salem Witch Trials.” When asked later if he bore no responsibility for the proceedings, he said, “ No, I don’t think any. Zero, to put it mildly.” Pelosi had no immediate response as House Democrats pushed ahead toward Wednesday’s debate and votes. The Democratic-majority Rules Committee met through the day, with lawmakers arguing over the parameters for the debate. “It’s unfortunate that we have to be here today, but the actions of the president of the United States make that necessary,” said Chairman Jim McGovern, D-Mass. “The evidence is as clear as it is overwhelming.’’ He said the president “jeopardized our national security. and he undermined our democracy” and added that “every day we let President Trump act like the law doesn’t apply to him, we move a little closer” to rule by dictators. Republicans disagreed, firmly. The top committee Republican, Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, said the split view among Americans over impeachment should be reason enough not to proceed with the rare action. “When half of Americans are telling you what you are doing is wrong, you should listen,” he said. No Republicans are expected to vote to impeach Trump. But one by one Democrats are amassing a majority from their ranks as lawmakers, including many freshmen who could risk reelection in districts where Trump is popular, announced they will join in voting for the two articles. “We must impeach this president,” said a statement from Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, an Air Force veteran who is among a group of newly elected former national security officials calling for impeachment. “I grieve for our nation. But I cannot let history mark the behavior of our President as anything other than an unacceptable violation of his oath of office.” Pelosi, who warned earlier this year against pursuing a strictly partisan impeachment, nonetheless has the numbers to approve it. Thus, attentionis shifting to the Senate which, under the Constitution, is required to hold a trial on the charges. IThat trial is expected to begin in January, with the Republican-majority chamber all but sure to acquit Trump. Hoping to dispatch with lengthy proceedings, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is rejecting the Democrats’ push for fresh impeachment testimony and making a last-ditch plea for the House to “turn back from the cliff” of Wednesday’s expected vote. McConnell’s remarks Tuesday effectively slapped the door shut on negotiations for a deal proposed by the Democratic leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer, who wants to call top White House officials for the Senate trial. “If House Democrats’ case is this deficient, this thin, the answer is not for the judge and jury to cure it here in the Senate,” McConnell said. “The answer is that the House should not impeach on this basis in the first place.’’ �Daily Sentinel Wednesday, December 18, 2019 3 Excellence in General & Minimally Invasive Surgery Surgical Capabilities: 3��''�%���+&$0 3��)��*+��,)��)0�� ����*+�)�&+��+!���!&'*0���)��*+�� ����&%*�)-!%��*,)��)0��*�%+!%�#�� ���#0$' �%&����!&'*0� 3� �##�#����)��,)��)0 3� )&%!���&,%�� �)� 3� &#&%��,)��)0 3� &#&%&*�&'0��%�� 3� ���!%���,����#���$�%+ 3���)%!����'�!) 3��!%!$�##0��%-�*!-���,)��)0 3��&)+��#���$�%+ 3��"!%���*!&%*����*��**�*��%��� ��� 0*+���$&-�#* OH-70162355 3��&�+��!**,����**�* �'��#��� (,�#!+0� *,)�!��#� ��)��� �&,� �&%�+� �-�� +&� +)�-�#� +&� 2%�� !+�� �+� �#��*�%+� ��##�0� �&*'!+�#��.��)��#!1��+ �+�+ �)��*�%&�*,�*+!+,+�� �&)� �� �&$$,%!+0� �-!%�� �&%2��%��� !%� !+*� #&��#� &*'!+�#�����')&-!���+ �+��&%2��%����0� &���)!%�� �/��'+!&%�#� ��)�� �)&$� �/��'+!&%�#� ��%�)�#� *,)��&%*�� #!"�� )�� �&%%� )�%�!��� � �%� �!-�%� �� (,�#!+0� *,)�!��#� � &!���� !+�*� +),���� �)��*�%&�'#����#!"�� &$��� )�� )�%�!�� .�#�&$�*�0&,)���##��&)����&%*,#+�+!&%�+&��0�� Ronn Grandia, MD, FACS (304) 675-1666 �Opinion 4 Wednesday, December 18, 2019 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW The most valuable lesson of the season Every single parent’s story is complicated, because real life can be messy. Today, I’m blessed to be married and live in a wonderful home. Still, as a former single mom, circumstances were not always this easy. That’s why the Christmas when I received the diamond necklace is the one I will remember forever. Back then, I wasn’t expecting to get such a costly gift, especially Christina not from my own son. Claypool Raising a child alone, I found Contributing the holidays were the greatest columnist reminder of the absence of family in the traditional sense. Our modest Yuletide celebration bore little resemblance to the sentimental TV commercials where joyful loved ones gather around a large dining table laden with delicious food, a colorful centerpiece, and flickering candles. On Christmas Eve, it was usually just Zach and me, because my late mother and stepfather lived in another state, along with most of our relatives. Despite this fact, when Zachary was young, I tried desperately to achieve some sense of Christmas cheer within my very confining budget. Even the Christmas tree in our apartment was a hand-me-down from another once single mom who had remarried and graduated to greater economic stability. At Christmastime, I wasn’t concerned about gifts for myself, but I did try to make sure there were packages for Zach to open. Not expensive items, just tiny tokens of my gratitude for being granted the special privilege of raising him. My dark-haired, sensitive boy never expected much or complained there should have been more. He understood our “situation.” Of course, there were generous family members and friends from work or church who realized our circumstances were difficult. Sometimes little blessings like a gift certificate or toy for Zach seemed to miraculously appear. “It’s more blessed to give than to receive,” is an age-old Bible verse that represents the plight of the single-parent family best. You have to learn to give without expectation, because frequently little comes back. But this reminds you that the true meaning of Christmas was never about gifts or trees, but rather about a tiny baby born in a Bethlehem stable. So it was for most of those first 20 Christmases that my son and I spent together. Along the way, he became a man, moved out and began a life of his own. When Christmas Eve rolled around my young adult son arrived at my door to celebrate our tradition of enjoying the evening together. There was the usual church service, holiday snacks, and finally we opened our presents. When he finished unwrapping his gifts, he looked at me with excitement and proudly handed me a small box. I began to tear the decorative paper, expecting a pair of costume earrings or a gold plated bracelet as in years past. Lifting the lid of the ivory satin case, I tried to hide my shock. It bore the name of an expensive jewelry store. I was barely able to swallow an audible gasp as I glanced down and saw a diamond pendant and glittering chain resting in the box’s burgundy velvet lining. By now Zach’s deep blue eyes were dancing with unrestrained delight. Apparently, my son understood the importance of giving. Unfortunately, I had not discovered how to graciously receive, since I had little practice. How much had this necklace cost him? The unmistakable sparkle of the stone left little doubt the ¼ carat diamond was real, and Zach’s ecstatic look confirmed its authenticity. My son worked hard for his money and was in college too. I often felt guilty I had not been able to financially assist him more in achieving his goals. Thankfully, I thought of the Christmas sermon from the year before. The pastor had spoken about accepting gifts with graciousness, never offending the giver. At the same time, sensing my discomfort, Zach shared the tender tale of a coworker who was a young single mom with a toddler. Needing some extra cash, she decided to sell the necklace, since it was a gift from a former boyfriend and didn’t possess any sentimental value. Zach had simply purchased it to help her make ends meet and to bless me with an incredible present. All of a sudden, the diamond sparkled brighter and I looked at the pendant with new appreciation. My gift was a visible witness to the fact that my son had learned the most valuable lesson the holidays can teach, “It truly is more blessed to give than to receive.“ Christina Ryan Claypool is a freelance journalist and an inspirational speaker.

In January of 2019 the member-owned club was sold and closed, so precocious Mulligan packed her bags and headed north to the Westville area — just like I did as a youngster. I wasn’t really looking to adopt three cats, but now it’s difficult to imagine my house without a cat causing trouble. It would be so boring. However, I’m reluctant to erect a Christmas tree this year only to have it toppled over and potentially harm one of the three kitties. So the dilemma is how to make the house sparkle without courting pandemonium at 3 a.m. I’m thinking a tall grapevine tree in the dining room might survive. Or maybe just some Christmas lights strung up the banister to the “cat walk” open hallway where Mulligan serves as the intimidating gatekeeper to the upstairs bedrooms. When Mulligan is on the top step, no other cat shall pass. She’s Mully the Bully. As I write this, both Mulligan and Sadie are asleep on opposite sides of the hearth. There is the warm glow of peace on my little slice of earth. Camo is nestled into a cozy corner of the upstairs loft hoping to stay off the radar. Yes, she really is the good one (most of the time). This year, ask yourself if a rescue dog or cat from one of the local shelters or sanctuaries might be the tiny spark of fun your house is missing. These furry four-legged goofballs didn’t ask to be here on our spinning orb, but they need a little of our help. Sometime if you’re having a really bad day, they might be the zaniest creature in the house to bring an unexpected smile to your face. Be sure you are ready to give them a “forever home” before you adopt, because it’s an especially sad occasion if they must return to the shelter after the holidays. evacuation of people of Japanese descent from the West Coast while at the same time ruling that “concededly loyal” Americans of Japanese ancestry could not continue to be detained.

He quickly hired Tom Glick, who has a background with MLS, as the team’s president as part of that vision. Eighteen months later, he has succeeded in landing a team. The 62-year-old Tepper says soccer is “in my blood.” He grew up playing soccer in Pittsburgh, watch as a fan and has coached youth soccer teams. He also joked that he tore an ACL in his knee playing soccer at 45. “I’ve said it before, Charlotte loves a party, and this will be a twohour party,” Tepper said. “And there’s nothing like it in sports. It’s a totally different experience.” Tepper said he’ll aim to get a general manager and coach in place within the next month or so. Charlotte is one six teams joining the league over the next three years. Nashville and Miami will join in 2020, Charlotte and Austin, Texas in 2021 and then Sacramento and St. Louis will begin play in 2022. Garber indicated the league, which will stand at 30 teams by 2022, is likely done with expansion for a while. Garber also confirmed that the expansion fee price tag for the new Charlotte franchise was between $300 million and $325 million.

So I think that is very much an untapped market. … We have a great location to bring out those fans.” The team name has not been established yet, but should be announced in the spring. Some of the names under consideration are Charlotte FC, Charlotte Crown FC, Charlotte Fortune FC and Charlotte Monarchs. Garber said the league positions itself as a league for a “new America” made up of young millennials, and he said Charlotte fits that mold. “That’s really what our brand stands for and that new America lives right here in Charlotte,” Garber said. Thirty percent of MLS’ fan base is made up of Hispanic fans. “This is going to have a high index of diverse communities as a percentage of the fan base,” Garber said. “It’s one of the things that attracted us to Charlotte.” Tepper said he hopes to match some of the success — and perhaps exceed — what Atlanta’s MLS franchise has enjoyed over the past few years. Tepper also did his best to start a new rival with its Interstate-85 opponent four hours down the road. “Charlotte is hot!” Tepper said at the news conference. When Tepper bought the Panthers from Jerry CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — David Tepper’s vision of bringing a Major League Soccer team to Charlotte has been realized. Charlotte was awarded an MLS expansion team on Tuesday by MLS commissioner Don Garber at a news conference in downtown Charlotte. The team will begin play in 2021 and can sign players immediately. Tepper owns the NFL’s Carolina Panthers, and the team will play its games at Bank of America Stadium, where the Panthers play. The city also has the NBA’s Charlotte Hornets, but doesn’t have an NHL or MLB team. Tepper hopes that Major League Soccer will fill that void in the summer for sports fans in Charlotte. “The city is just right for the sport,” Tepper said. “We have had (soccer) games here and there was pretty good support for the sport. We think we can build a really good fan base. The city needs a sport during that (summer) period.” Tepper promised that “we are going to make Charlotte rock on Saturday nights.” Tepper will hope to build on the city’s strong Hispanic population. When Mexico has played here in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the past, it has drawn more than 50,000 fans to Bank of America Stadium, many who come with the Mexican flag draped around them. “They are traditionally OH-70163082 BIDWELL, Ohio — Tough start.

The Lady Buckeyes received 10 points from Joscelyn Heller in the opening frame as the guests built a 13-point lead, but the host Lady Raiders (4-5, 1-4 TVC Ohio) countered with a 14-11 run that trimmed the halftime deficit down to 31-21. The Silver and Black got seven points from Payton Crabtree as part of a 17-15 third quarter push that made it a 46-38 contest entering the finale, but RVHS was never closer than two possessions the rest of the way. The Lady Raiders managed only three field goals down the stretch and missed all three of their free throw attempts, while NYHS ended regulation with an 11-7 run that wrapped up the 12-point outcome. River Valley netted 18 total field goals — including three 3-pointers — and also went 6-of-14 at the free throw line for 43 percent.
