In Meigs County, ODH reported 20 resident and 19 staff cases at Overbrook Center, including eight new resident cases and five new staff cases during the reporting week (Wednesday-Tuesday). Additionally, Meigs County Health Department (MCHD) Public Information Officer Brody Davis stated that 12 cases on Wednesday (10 resident and 2 staff) and 4 cases on Thursday (all residents) were not included in that figure. This brings the case totals at Overbrook since midApril to 34 residents and 21 staff members. “Unfortunately, we have experienced a surge in COVID-19 cases among residents this week. Despite following all infection control precautions and CDC recommendations, the virus has spread within the facility. We have completed testing of all residents and all employees this week. Despite positive or negative results, we are handling each resident in the same manner, utilizing isolation precautions and providing extensive monitoring and TLC,” stated Overbrook Rehabilitation Center Administrator Stephanie Cleland. “Managing this virus has been challenging. Our staff have done a tremendous job continuing to care for our residents in such stressful times. Overbrook is blessed to have such a wonderful team,” added Cleland’s statement, which was also posted to the center’s Facebook page on Thursday evening. “We are fortunate to have a strong relationship with the MCHD and will continue to work with them closely to mitigate future spread.” Also in Meigs County, ODH reported two new staff cases at Arbors of Pomeroy for the reporting week, bringing the facility total to three. The report lists the first staff case at Arbors at Gallipolis for the recent reporting week. A representative for both Arbors of Gallipolis and Pomeroy did respond to Ohio Valley Publishing (OVP) on the matter but declined comment. In Gallia County, the ODH report lists a total of 27 resident and 18 total staff cases at Abbyshire Place, with nine resident and five staff cases in the reporting week. Attempts to reach representatives for Abbyshire were unsuccessful as of press time. ODH also reported one resident case at Holzer Senior Care Center in Gallia County, something that Holzer Health System says is inaccurate. “In response to the Ohio Department of Health COVID-19 numbers released on 8/26/20, a positive COVID-19 case was reported to be at Holzer Senior Care Center. However, to date, Holzer Senior Care Center does not have any confirmed or probable cases of COVID19. The positive case that was reported was inaccurate and we are working with our local health department to rectify the misinformation,” according to a statement released on behalf of Holzer Health System to OVP. “We want to ensure to our communities that Holzer Health System has put into place every precaution possible. At all Holzer locations, including Holzer Senior Care Center, we See CASES | 2 Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Austin Rose was the 2020 recipient of the Ohio Valley Bank 4-H scholarship.

It’s hard to forgive. But what if there’s a work which takes place inside of us before we’re able to genuinely engage in the work of forgiving someone else? Maybe that’s why the Bible says, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Eph. 4:32 ESV). Or, “… as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive” (Col. 3:13 ESV). There’s a work before forgiveness. It’s called being forgiven. And while forgiving another person takes work, being forgiven by God doesn’t take any work on our part. God has taken upon Himself the work of forgiving sinners like me and you. As Paul writes, “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Col. 1:13-14 ESV). God doesn’t call us to forgive without first giving us an example of what forgiveness looks like. And there’s never a time when God asks us to forgive someone more than we ourselves have been forgiven. It’s the wonderful grace of God. The work of Christ in our hearts. means we should And only after forgive more than embracing the we currently are. reality of this So, for the next work can we four weeks, we’re genuinely forgive going to study others.

But the way Paul begins his letter already teaches us something about forgiveness. Before he ever asks Philemon to forgive, he celebrates the work of God’s forgiveness in Philemon’s own life. In verse 1, Paul calls Philemon his “beloved fellow worker.” In verse 5, Paul acknowledges the love and loyalty with which Philemon loves God and people. And in verses 6 and 7, Paul asks God to bless Philemon as he shares his resources with others. The faith of Philemon is evident. His life is an example of faith expressing itself through love (see Gal. 5:6). And the soil of his heart is prepared for what Paul is about to say next. Philemon has experienced the work before forgiveness. The grace of God. The work of Christ on his behalf. But have you? We’re not only called to forgive. We’re called to forgive as we’ve been forgiven. By Christ. On the cross. For our sins. And that, my friends, is the work before forgiveness.

In regards to GDC, Tamara Hartley, media and communications director with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), stated via email, the last staff member in Gallipolis who tested positive was on Aug. 19 and that staff member has since returned to work. Hartley stated staff who are positive are asked to follow doctor’s orders at home and the facility quarantines the area they worked in for 14 days from the last day they were in that area. In regards to a question on testing at the facility, Hartley added, “We would only test if we observed signs and symptoms which we monitor in individuals two times daily at minimum and screen staff every day when they arrive.” DODD provides a daily report to ODH (found on its website) for the most up-to-date information regarding COVID-19 at its facilities. Thursday’s report states there are 182 total staff at GDC, there have been three positive tests, 372 negative tests, all three staff members with positive cases have returned to work. There are 58 total residents at GDC, with 119 negative tests from residents and no positive cases regarding residents. Beth Sergent is editor of Ohio Valley Publishing.

The beginning of every school year, I get asked to republish this article about Jesus and school. Here it is with a few changes for a new and different school year for all of us. What is happening this coming week that should be very exciting for you all? Yes, that’s right; school is beginning. I know this year the beginning of school is going to be very different for all of you and maybe a little bit scary too. If you are attending classes in person, you will be wearing a mask most of the time and social distancing from your friends. Most of your activities will be held in your classroom instead of different rooms for art, music, ect. If you are not going back in person, you will be doing school work online at home with your teacher via internet. Your desk may be the kitchen table or a table somewhere else in your home. Whatever way you are going back is OK, and I’m sure your parents have thought long and hard about what is best for you. Be patient and still work hard however you are attending classes. God knows things are very different and will be with you no matter what as you begin this year’s learning! say, “May the words Did you ever of God be sweet to wonder about your taste, sweeter when Jesus was than honey to your growing up did mouth.” from Psalm He have to go to 119:103. school? Being a From ages 10-14, former teacher Jewish boys learned myself, I often Ann the rest of the Jewwondered about Moody how Jesus was Contributing ish Scriptures all the way to Malachi. Do taught in those columnist you remember when days. Now the Mary and Joseph Bible never actuthought Jesus was lost, ally says that Jesus went but they found Him in the to school, but scholars Temple? Do you know believe that He would how old He was then? have from the passages He was twelve and was about Him being called Rabbi or Teacher and the sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening customs of that time. and asking questions. Jesus would have Around 14 to 15 learned a lot from His parents. His mother Mary years old, if the boy was interested, he could do would have taught Him advanced religious studthings at home, and His ies. He would go and seek Father Joseph would a respected and knowlhave taught Him about being a carpenter like he edgeable Rabbi to study was. But when Jesus was with like an apprentice almost. He would study probably about six years with this Rabbi until he old, like every other sixwas 30 years old when year old Jewish boy, He he could become a Rabbi would have gone to the himself. Do you know local synagogue school called Bet Sefer. Only the how old Jesus was when He started His ministry? boys went for five or six days a week. The teacher He was 30 years old. We know that Jesus would teach his students the first five books of the also worked as a carpenter, possibly to help pay Bible: Genesis, Exodus, for His education. We Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy along with aren’t sure. But in the some other general basis New Testament, He is called Rabbi 13 times and education. On the first teacher 41 times. (Rabbi day of their school, the means teacher.) So probrabbi would give each ably Jesus had to go to boy a taste of honey and school at least some of the time just like you will be doing next week. I hope you have a great year however you attend school! Remember still to be kind to everyone! Help any new students to your school or those kids who are alone. Ask them to play with you or even just talk to them. They may become a great friend, and they will certainly appreciate your friendship to them. Tell an adult if you see anyone being bullied. Being mean to anyone is never cool! If you are at home learning, you can still connect to your friends in many different ways – texts, facetime, phone, or in person. Be a friend to have a friend! Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Jesus, bless all the children starting school next week no matter how they are going to be learning. Be with them, their parents, their teachers, and school staff, so they have a wonderful year and learn what they need to know. We ask You to keep them safe and be kind to each other too. In Your name we pray, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author.

Ohio Valley Publishing SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Christian leaders lead by example It is not necessary to name names in order to observe that every little while, in this church or that, there arises credible accusations about financial impropriety, immorality, or other wrong-doings on the part of those who were deemed to be spiritual leaders. When one examines the worst of these, one often wonders why so many red flags were ignored by the members of the institute in question, and that the leader in question Jonathan was given carte blanche for so long. McAnulty Whether it’s the opulent lifestyle said Contributing individuals often seem to enjoy, or Columnist years of morally questionable behavior, there are frequently some good indications that things are not being done in a manner that is exactly Christian. But perhaps many simply do not know what the Bible really teaches about leadership in the church. What should one expect from a follower of Christ who is also an elder, pastor, minister, or deacon? Is it true, as some suppose, that since we are all human, we should not hold Christian leaders to a higher standard? What does the Bible say? From the beginning, it was clear that Jesus expected more out of His followers than what was common in the world at large. He said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve,… (Matthew 20:25b-28; ESV)” We can see two things clearly from the quote… Jesus taught that Christian leadership is about service, and it is distinct and different from how the world often operates. Some years later, writing to elders in the church, the apostle Peter reminded them of this leadership style, expected by Jesus, saying, “shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock (1 Peter 5:2-3; ESV).” Leadership in the church was not an opportunity for graft or grift, not a chance to be in charge and tell people what to do, and not about pleasing men, but rather it was an opportunity to serve God. The apostles followed this pattern. They never got rich. They seldom made demands. And they devoted their lives to the service and good of those they were seeking to teach. Paul writing to the Thessalonians, whom he had recently converted, reminded them of these things, saying, “You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake and you became imitators of us and of the Lord (1 Thessalonians 1:5b-6a),” and “we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us. (1 Thessalonians 2:5-8; ESV)” Paul points out the simple truth that he was not trying to take money from the ones he preached to; he was not seeking glory, praise, or mindless compliance. His sole goals was the salvation of their souls. And the Thessalonians, who had seen Paul in action, would have been judges of the truth of this statement. How very different the mindset of the apostle was from so many who, in the name of religion, claim wealth and glory for themselves, while demanding their followers comply with their every pronouncement. As we contrast the Biblical model with what we see too often in the religious world, we should not overlook another element of the Christian model. Let us notice that Christ pointed to Himself as an example for how His followers were to act. We might then notice that Peter told the elders of the church that they were supposed to lead by example, with Christians imitating their behavior. We finally notice that Paul commended the Thessalonian Christians for being “imitators” of his behavior and of Christ’s. Repeatedly, Christian leaders are told they are to be examples for those they seek to lead, even as Christ was an example. It is not exactly proper to say that God holds Christian leaders to a higher standard. God does not have two sets of standards, and He is no respecter of person or rank. Rather, it seems better to say that God expects Christian leaders to model the kind of behavior expected in all of His people. We should therefore, ourselves, expect spiritual leaders in the church to behave ethically and morally, even as we hold ourselves to the exact same standards, at all times looking ultimately to the example of Christ regarding how we should be behaving. And leaders in the church should do the same, living in such a way as to be able to say, with the Scriptures, “imitate me, even as I imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1).” The church of Christ invites you to worship and study with us as we seek to be more like Christ. We meet at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

OHIO VALLEY — Time to get on the gridiron, for Ohio at least. This weekend marks the start of the high school football season in Ohio, and there are six contests going on from within the Ohio Valley Publishing area. All-6 programs in Gallia and Meigs counties begin their 2020 slate on Friday night, with Gallia Academy and River Valley opening the season at home. The Blue Devils meet with South Point, while the Raiders host Wellston. Meigs also begins with a league game, traveling to Vinton County, while Eastern, Southern and South Gallia each open on the road in non-league play, with EHS at Caldwell, SHS at Frontier and the Rebels heading to Symmes Valley. Here’s a brief look at all of the Week 1 football games from the OVP area. South Point Pointers at Gallia Academy Blue Devils GAHS defeated the Pointers 57-26 tally in South Point in the 2020 regular season finale. It was Gallia Academy’s fourth straight win against South Point, with the Blue Devils winning 44-0 the last time these teams met in Gallipolis. The Pointers’ last win over Gallia Academy came on Sept. 13, 1996. The Pointers won that game by a 21-14 final and the teams didn’t play again for 20 years. South Point enters with a 31-game skid in Ohio Valley Conference play. The Blue Devils have won back-to-back season openers, but haven’t started three straight years with a win since 2006. Wellston Golden Rockets at River Valley Raiders Wellston’s 40-0 victory over RVHS in Week 6 of last season made the Golden Rockets third See FOOTBALL | 11 Cleveland’s 3 major teams link to fight for social change CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland’s three major professional sports franchises — the Browns, Cavaliers and Indians — are teaming up to fight social injustice. The move comes one day after the NBA postponed playoff games, and other leagues followed suit, amid a player-led boycott to protest the shooting of a Black man by police in Wisconsin. Cleveland’s teams announced an alliance to “develop a sustainable and direct strategy to address social injustice facing the city and all Northeast Ohio communities.” Kevin Clayton, vice president of diversity, inclusion and engagement for the Cavaliers, hopes the partnership and one-of-a-kind program triggers similar efforts elsewhere. “This collaboration is unique in all of sports,” he said. “Other cities are going to model after this.” That’s an off-shoot, and hardly the goal. The three-team union will focus on strengthening the relationships between law enforcement and citizens, promote nonpartisan voting activities and provide educational opportunities in the area. The key leaders for the effort include: Browns general manager Andrew Berry and first-year coach Kevin Stefanski; Cavs GM Koby Altman and coach J.B. Bickerstaff; and Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti, GM Mike Chernoff and manager Terry Francona. Each team plans to use its own platforms to coordinate activities and promote “a call to action and positive outcomes.” The teams will also have some of their players involved in the alliance. For Berry, one of only two Black GM’s in the NFL and the youngest at 33, linking with the Cavs and Indians is another effort to promote change. Berry recently launched his “Be The Solution” campaign an idea born from watching the nationwide protests following the shooting death of George Floyd by Minneapolis police and wanting to do more. He initially challenged team employees via an email to take action and join him by taking an active role — signing up for a cause, donating — and his message quickly spread. “We understand the platform our organization has to make a positive impact on these important issues,” said Berry, who was brought back to Cleveland after a year in Philadelphia. “When Coach Stefanski and I began discussing how we might be able to elevate and broaden that impact by expanding the dialogue to our counterparts in Cleveland, it quickly became apparent that partnering with the other teams in our city would help our region come together so we can collectively address the problems that we’ve all been working to help solve independently.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Aug. 28 Football South Point at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Wellston at River Valley, 7 p.m. Southern at Frontier, 7 p.m. Eastern at Caldwell, 7 p.m. Meigs at Vinton County, 7 p.m. South Gallia at Symmes Valley, 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29 Cross Country Gallia Academy at Fairland, 9 a.m. EHS, RVHS, SGHS, SHS at Marietta, 10 a.m. Golf Gallia Academy at Westfall, 8 a.m. Kevin C. Cox | Pool via AP The Milwaukee Bucks bench sits empty at game time of Game 5 of an NBA first-round playoff series Wednesday in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. All three playoff games scheduled for Wednesday were postponed as players around the league conducted a boycott for racial justice. Athletes again put focus on racial justice LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — NBA players didn’t come to Disney solely for a restart. They also wanted social reform. The Milwaukee Bucks showed how far they’re willing to go to get it by opting not to play in their playoff game Wednesday. Two more games were postponed later in the day, the second time this season NBA basketball came to an immediate halt. Other sports followed, just as they did in March when the season was suspended four months because of the coronavirus pandemic. Later Thursday, the NBA’s board of governors will meet and likely address whether the playoff games scheduled for the night will be played. The players also will meet separately to decide how long the stoppage lasts. “The biggest thing that we all understand is if we’re not playing, what are we doing? What are we doing to show and to help what’s going on outside this bubble?” Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams said, shortly before the Bucks were scheduled to tip off their game against the Orlando Magic. Instead, the Bucks players remained in the locker room, finally emerging hours later to read a statement demanding action from lawmakers and encouraging voting by citizens. They changed the nar- rative across the entire sports landscape, putting the focus squarely on social justice reform in protest of the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while three of his children in his car looked on. While players and teams from baseball, the WNBA, MLS and tennis sat out their competitions Wednesday night, NBA players and coaches met for nearly three hours in a Disney hotel to determine next steps, including whether the season should continue. They did not come to a consensus, a person with knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details weren’t revealed publicly. The Western & Southern Open won’t be played Thursday, with the U.S. Tennis Association, along with the ATP and WTA Tours, announcing play would be paused after two-time Grand Slam women’s champion Naomi Osaka had already said she wouldn’t play her semifinal match. “I don’t expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing, but if I can get a conversation started in a majority white sport I consider that a step in the right direction,” Osaka tweeted. “Watching the continued genocide of Black people at the hand of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach.” More lost NBA games would be another punishing financial blow in a season in which the league was already headed to losses of hundreds of million of dollars, potentially leading to ramifications that would be felt in future years. Before coming to Disney, many NBA players wrestled for weeks about whether it was even right to play, fearing that a return to games would take attention off the deaths of, among others, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd in recent months. They ultimately decided coming to the bubble and playing televised games would give them the largest platform, though now at least some are wondering if that’s still true. Toronto coach Nick Nurse said he’s heard some players on his team say they were thinking about going home. Clippers coach Doc Rivers hopes they won’t. His players considered boycotting a playoff game in 2014 after audio tapes featuring former owner Donald Sterling were revealed. He said this time is different because it’s the whole league, rather than one team, weighing the decision. “I think every team has to decide what they want to do and honestly I hope everyone plays,” Rivers said. “I just think showing the excellence in doing your job, there’s nothing wrong with that, but also fighting for what’s right is important as well.” It certainly is for the Bucks, who play about 40 miles from Kenosha. Sterling Brown, one of the players to read the statement, has a federal lawsuit pending against the city of Milwaukee alleging he was targeted because he was Black and that his civil rights were violated in January 2018 when officers used a stun gun on him after a parking violation. And it is for the Raptors, whose team president, Masai Ujiri, had an altercation with an Oracle Arena security guard after Game 6 of last year’s NBA Finals. A video of it released recently appears to show an Alameda County sheriff’s deputy initially shoved Ujiri, who is Black, twice. They are scheduled to open the second round Thursday against Boston, but Nurse said his players were already having discussions about not playing. “Boycotting the game has come up for them and again, as a way to try to demand a little more action and I think that’s really what they want,” Nurse said. “I think there’s enough attention and there’s not quite enough action and I think that’s what I can sense from the discussion. Their disappointment of man, how can we get something to change?” It probably starts with See JUSTICE | 11 �10 Friday, August 28, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing N E W A D V A N C E D 3D DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY now available at Pleasant Valley Hospital’s Comprehensive Breast Health Center Introducing SMARTER 3D MAMMOGRAPHY Pleasant Valley Hospital’s ASPIRE Cristalle with Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) and the patented Comfort Paddle is built with insight to deliver better patient experiences through innovations that produce brilliant images with gentle dose and comfort.

Snyder released a statement denying those specific allegations and saying he was unaware of the incidents until now. “I want to unequivocally state that this never happened,” Snyder said of the report he invited a cheer- (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 Autos For Sale The following vehicle(s) will be available for public sale on Friday, August 28, 2020 at Dave's Supreme Auto Sales LLC, 1393 Jackson Pike Gallipolis, OH 45631, at 1:00 pm.

They described a workplace in which male bosses, colleagues and players commented on their bodies and clothing, used sexual innuendos and made unwanted advances. Snyder said that behavior “has no place in our franchise or in our society.” He repeated his intention to improve the organization’s culture and said he’ll be more hands-on as an owner moving forward. “I take full responsibility for the culture of our organization,” Snyder said. “I have begun taking any and all steps necessary to ensure that the Washington Football Team is an organization that is diverse, inclusive and respectful of all.” (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN The following is a summarized version of legislation adopted at the August 18, 2020, meeting of the Gallipolis City Commission: " RESOLUTION NO.

IN BRIEF Computer pioneer Arnold Spielberg, Steven’s dad, dies LOS ANGELES (AP) — Arnold Spielberg, father of filmmaker Steven Spielberg and an innovating engineer whose work helped make the personal computer possible, has died at 103. Spielberg died of natural causes while surrounded by his family in Los Angeles on Tuesday, according to a statement from his four children. Spielberg and Charles Propster designed the GE-225 mainframe computer in the late 1950s while working for General Electric. The machine allowed computer scientists at Dartmouth College to develop the programming language BASIC, which would be essential to the rise of personal computers in the 1970s and ‘80s.
