By Erin Perkins eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT — The 17th Annual Mothman Festival, once again, drew a crowd of thousands. Festival Founder Jeff Wamsley said, “We are estimating every bit of 12,000 or more (people) this year…We are excited about the great turnout and the fact that we (and the police) can have a crowd this large with no problems or issues. People are visiting from literally all over the world and were so impressed with the friendliness and welcoming atmosphere that Point Pleasant extended them, I heard this comment time and time again during the festival.” Wamsley explained in the past the crowds typically, on Saturday of the festival, begin to build around 11 a.m. or noon, however, this year a larger influx began around 10 a.m. He commented more people have been coming in on Friday for the kick Erin Perkins | OVP starter events. The new element to this year’s festival, the Fallout 76 fan event, was a successful addition. Wamsley said, “The Fallout 76 people were also impressed with Point Pleasant. When you have possibly the biggest game developer on the planet visit your town and comment on how cool it is, well, that’s something, and for the festival and museum to be involved with them is extremely huge for us. We are looking forward to a busy future with them.” The outside festival events were a big hit for the festival goers as well. Wamsley commented the TNT area hayrides on Saturday of the festival sold out and the TNT area bus tours sold out on the Saturday tours and on the Sunday tours had only a few empty seats. Wamsley explained the Mothman Festival has many people behind the scenes who aid in making this event so successful. He said, “I can’t say enough about Butch Bonecutter and his city crew, these guys go above and beyond to make sure things are going as planned, Jon and Jay See MOTHMAN | 3 �DEATH NOTICES/TV/NEWS 2 Friday, September 21, 2018 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS BRIEFS SLOCUM POINT PLEASANT — Jerry D.

When it comes to voting in the November election, Ihle’s name will be the only one listed on the ballot, with a blank space to write-in Hajivandi if the voter would like to vote for him. Either way, the voter must fill in the circle beside the person they wish to vote for. As Hajivandi’s last name could be difficult to spell, the matter was discussed on Tuesday as to if the correct spelling would be required. According to the board of elections, as long as the intent of the voter is clear the write-in vote would count. In this case, as there is only one writein candidate, writing “Moe” or “Moe H.” could be considered a vote for Hajivandi as long as the circle is also filled in.

Board member Charlie Williams stated that unless an individual reads the Ohio Revised Code closely they would not know the difference in withdrawing a petition or withdrawing candidacy. Stanley agreed with the statement. The withdraw came as the board was discussing the independent candidate petition of Hajivandi, according to the letter from Stanley to the board as part of his legal opinion. The matter of concern with his status as an independent candidate was that Hajivandi had voted a Republican ballot for the May primary which was after the independent filing deadline. Hajivandi told the board, at the June meeting, he was not given the option to vote an “issues only” ballot when he voted in the primary.

I disappointed that I did not get have told Jeshua several times a donut. that, if you want to find where That evening as Jesh drove you want to go, you have to us along Richmond Road to get a supper, he asked what I had done that day. I confessed that I went looking for donuts (from the back seat, I heard Terry lowly let out a “Har­ umph!”). I pointed out where I had turned around. Jeshua broke out into laughter. “Well, Dad, 50 yards further and you would have found one!” Sure enough, just down the way from where I had turned around, behind the trees and foliage, was a Dunkin Donut shop. I was irritated. What is the saying? “Close but no cigar.” But, my experience rather typifies a spiritual reality for many when it comes to “finding God.” They make a concerted search for a while to “find God.” They think how great it would be to find God for forgiveness, relationship, or fellowship. But, just as they are about to discover these won­ derful benefits with Him, they turn around and head back in the other direction. The problem is that their view gets blocked at key moments by troublesome circumstances or distrac­ tive enticements. Because of these factors, they fail to go far enough in the decision process. But, close will not get you a cigar in such a spiritual pursuit. Such is exemplified in Scrip­ ture with Felix and Agrippa. When Paul witnessed before him Jesus Christ, Felix stopped short and turned around, tell­ ing Paul, “Go your way. When it is convenient for me, I will call for you.” Agrippa stopped short of receiving Christ as Lord and Savior. He told Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian” (KJV). These two just did not go far enough. In so many terms, they were just 50 yards short. But, here is the rub: it is not a matter of us deciding that it might be time to find God. Rather, it is God that has already done the finding. What He does is that He leads us to make a decision about Him. The concern is whether we are willing to completely arrive at that point, and not turn around to go in the opposite direction. After all, God is the One who is always close. Apostle Paul said that there is noth­ ing we can do to pull the Lord down from Heaven and be closer to us. There is nothing we can do to “bring up Christ from the dead” to be closer to us. The Word is already close. The Lord is already close. He knows who you are and where you are. All anyone has to do is to decide to go far enough. Are you going far enough? In the mean time, Jesh and Terry discussed how good it was for me that I had not found the Dunkin Donut shop. “It must have been Divine Providence,” Jeshua con­ cluded.

This always manded light to shine out bothers me. There should be a clear difference between the way Christians and non-Christians speak. Otherwise, as God’s vessels, we’re in danger of changing His taste. The Bible says, “From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so” (James 3:10 ESV). We should monitor our words more closely, shying away from gossip, complain­ ing, arguing, and other forms of negative speech. In addition to words, our actions affect the message people receive. “What good is it, dear broth­ ers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?” (James 2:14 NLT). It bothers me to find people who say they are Christians but act as if they’re not. If you say you follow Jesus, your actions should reflect the char­ acter of God. And when your actions don’t match God’s love, you change His taste to the people around you. I want to conclude with one of my favorite Bible verses. It says, “No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expres­ sion in us” (1 John 4:12 NLT). God is the content. You are the container. How are you making Him taste to those around you? Isaiah Pauley is a 2018 graduate of Wahama High School and attends Ohio Christian University.

The first assumption is condemned, but whoever does not believe is con­ that before God’s people, demned already, because the Church, can be uni­ he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God” (John 3:18 ESV). When Jesus remarks that He came to bring division, He is indicating that salvation requires a heart movement that swims against the flow of worldly patterns of thinking in our world, our society, our workplaces, and even in most of our homes. Responding to God’s call to follow Him, there­ fore, generates division from the outset of our Christian experience as we turn our allegiances from institutions and personalities that the world venerates. As we yield our love and life to His sovereign claim to our lives, we are blatantly disconnecting from the world around us. The second assumption that we must retain as we assess the beauty (or lack thereof) of unity, is that of the purity of our united devotion to God. For our unity to be more than just a neat idea and to keep it from becoming a disgusting mockery of what it should be, the Church must not become distracted by becoming infected with the woes of complacency, hate, greed, idolatry, immoral­ ity, or pride. The Church (both universally speak­ ing as well as the local assemblies with whom we worship and minister) is comprised of individuals. And when those individu­ als are collectively living the lives to which God has called them (pure and holy, loving and serving), the body is uniform in its character and godlier in its essence. This does not happen automatically, as you might have guessed. It happens when God’s peo­ ple undertake the joint venture of knowing God through His Word and truly seek first His king­ dom and His righteous­ ness (Matthew 6:33). The Bible records for us Jesus’ prayer for the unity of His people (in the context of the above mentioned criteria). “I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom You (God the Father) have given Me, for they are Yours.... They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.... may (they) all be one, just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. The glory that You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one even as We are one, I in them and You in Me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me (John 17:9,16-17,21-23 ESV).

Dupree meant it as a joke. Two weeks later, nobody is laughing. The Steelers (0-1-1) are winless heading into next Monday’s visit to Tampa Bay and the distractions they stressed the importance of avoiding in 2018 only seem to be multiplying. The latest arrived in the aftermath of a loss to Kansas City when All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown opted to skip work on Monday, though he did find the time to hop on Twitter and respond to criticism by a former team employee who believes Brown should be thankful that he plays alongside quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. No one took Brown’s suggestion of “trade me let’s find out ” seriously. Coach Mike Tomlin’s bigger concern was Brown’s absence from a mandatory day of meetings, a misstep that led to an extended sit-down between the two on Tuesday. “I’ll leave the nature of that conversation between us,” Tomlin said Wednesday. “There was discipline involved for his missed meeting for Monday. Some of the other things we talked about extensively, he’ll speak for himself in some of those things. Really our focus is preparing to win this game on Monday night.” Tomlin did not outline Brown’s punishment. The only player in NFL history with five consecutive seasons of at least 100 receptions practiced alongside his teammates on Wednesday and there appears to be no plans to have him sit when the Steelers play the Buccaneers (2-0). Asked if he expects Brown to face Tampa Bay, See STEELERS | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Sept. 21 Football Van at Hannan, 7 p.m. River Valley at Meigs, 7:30 South Gallia at Eastern, 7:30 Pikeville (KY) at Point Pleasant, 7:30 Gallia Academy at Portsmouth, 7 p.m. Southern at Belpre, 7:30 Wahama at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Boys Golf Ohio Valley Championships at Portsmouth Elks CC, 9 a.m. TVC Hocking INV at Mineral Wells, 9 a.m. at Ohio Valley Christian, 5:30 Saturday, Sept. 22 College Football Ohio at Cincinnati, noon NC State at Marshall, 7 p.m. Volleyball Gallia Academy at Circleville INV, 10 a.m. Cross Country Patty Forgey INV at Rio Grande, 10 a.m. Point Pleasant at Ripley, 10 a.m. Girls Soccer Scott at Point Pleasant, 11 a.m. Volleyball Ironton St. Joe at GalTeays Valley Christian lia Academy, noon at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Boys Soccer Boys Soccer Circleville at Gallia Teays Valley Christian Academy, 1:30 Photos by Scott Jones | OVP Sports Eastern’s Colton Reynolds strides toward the finish line en route to a 10th place effort at the Federal Hocking Invitational on Wednesday in Stewart, Ohio.

Current head-to-head streak: column last week, with TanLast Week: Van lost to Linahawley@aimmediamidwest.com Bengals down to Bernard at RB Texas Tech’s Alan Mixon out for Week 3 game at Carolina Bowman leads Big 12’s emerging young stars CINCINNATI (AP) — Giovani Bernard is the last veteran running back standing for the Cincinnati Bengals, and even he was limited in practice on Wednesday. The Bengals (2-0) head to Carolina (1-1) with Bernard as their only experienced back who knows their system. No. 3 back Tra Carson was waived Wednesday after suffering a hamstring injury in practice. The Bengals signed free agent running back Thomas Rawls, who was released by the Jets at the end of training camp. The running game has shown significant improvement over last year, helping the Bengals get off to their fast start. The challenge is to keep it going with only one proven option to carry the ball. “I feel like people are freaking out but my goodness, it’s football,” Bernard said Wednesday before his limited practice. “Guys are going to go down and the next man has to step up and be prepared.” Joe Mixon hurt his right knee during a 34-23 win over Baltimore on Thursday night. He had a surgical procedure over the weekend to remove a piece of torn cartilage. He walked without a limp or a brace Wednesday, saying the knee felt good. He’ll be sidelined for a few games as the knee recovers. “I’m not sure of the timetable and however the recovery process is going to be or whatever they are going to let me do,” Mixon said. Mixon’s injury opened the CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Sure, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury is gushing about quarterback Alan Bowman’s fast start. What surprises him most is the freshman’s ability so far to limit his mistakes. Bowman threw for 605 yards and five touchdowns last week in a 63-49 win over Houston, giving the pass-happy Big 12 a peek at its future following the departures of stars such as Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma and Mason Rudolph at Oklahoma State. Bowman is among a crop of young stars emerging in the league. He has eight TD tosses and has yet to throw an interception. “He’s done a nice job of protecting the football and still cutting it loose and pulling the trigger when things are there,” Kingsbury said. “There’s a fine line you walk there. You don’t want to be hesitant, but you don’t want to be reckless with the ball. He’s kind of walked that line really well the first two starts he’s had. Hopefully that continues.” The Red Raiders entered the season with uncertainty after the graduation of 3,000yard passer Nic Shimonek. When sophomore McLane Carter got hurt in the first quarter of the opener, in came Bowman. “I think more than anything, I knew he could operate our system,” Kingsbury said. “He’s a bright young man. When we install, he picks things up quick. For him to play turnover-free Adrian Kraus | AP file Giovani Bernard can expect to carry the load Sunday when the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Carolina Panthers. The Bengals have to rely on Bernard to pull them through the next few games with running back Joe Mixon sidelined after a knee procedure. way for Carson to move into a bigger role behind Bernard, but he got hurt during practice on Monday. The Bengals decided they needed another healthy runner and signed Rawls, who played for Seattle from 201517, starting 17 games. Rawls did his best in his rookie season, carrying 147 times for 830 yards and a 5.6yard average. His production dropped each of the next two seasons, and he was released after carrying 58 times for 157 yards in 2017. The Bengals also have rookie Mark Walton, a fourthround pick in 2018. Walton had only 21 yards on 22 carries in the preseason. “I was hesitating, secondguessing myself,” Walton said. “I had a lot of cutbacks.” Provided he’s healthy, Bernard will get the ball a lot at Carolina, moving into a role that he’s filled on occasion during his five-year career. He’s been used more as a complement to BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Jeremy Hill and Mixon over the years, pressed into a featured role when the starter was injured. “He may be 5-foot-8, 200 (pounds), but he’s about 6-foot-4, 250 in heart,” running backs coach Kyle Caskey said. “So he’s one of those guys who’s going to be more productive and explosive than you think he’s going to be with his size.” Bernard has carried the ball 20 or more times in three games during his career, including a 23-carry, 116-yard performance during a 26-17 win over Detroit on Dec. 24. Bernard’s biggest contribution to the offense has been as a receiver. He’s caught at least five passes in a game 23 times, with nine as his career high. He has two 100-yard receiving games. “He does the same things I do,” Mixon said. “I have complete faith in Gio and however they are going to use him. I’m not worried about any downfall in the running game and passing game. He’s done it for years.” football like he has that’s been really nice.” Bowman graduated high school early in Grapevine, Texas, and participated in spring practice at Texas Tech, where freshmen quarterbacks tend to blossom early. Mayfield was a walk-on who threw for 413 yards and accounted for five touchdowns in the 2012 season opener for the Red Raiders before eventually transferring to Oklahoma. After Mayfield got hurt that year, Davis Webb became the first Texas Tech freshman to surpass 400 yards passing in his first two starts. In 2014, Patrick Mahomes set a Big 12 freshman record with 598 yards against Baylor. Bowman then outdid Mahomes. “He developed really quickly,” said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. “Sometimes young guys do that. Others it takes a little bit of time. It’s certainly one I’m guessing we all wish we would have had.” Bowman and freshman running back Ta’Zhawn Henry will feel the pressure of a Big 12 opener on the road Saturday at No. 15 Oklahoma State. Henry has six rushing TDs already, including four against Houston. Like Bowman, most starting quarterbacks in the Big 12 are underclassmen. With Iowa State’s Kyle Kempt out with a knee injury, backup sophomore Zeb Noland threw for a career-high 360 yards and two TDs last week in a 37-27 loss to No. 5 Oklahoma. �COMICS 8 Friday, September 21, 2018 BLONDIE Daily Sentinel By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer RETAIL By Norm Feuti HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL � � � ���� Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner � � � � � � � � � � � � Hank Ketcham’s � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �$IFFICULTY ,EVEL RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � ���� #ONCEPTIS 0UZZLES $IST� BY +ING &EATURES 3YNDICATE )NC� "Y $AVE 'REEN see what’s brewing on the job market.

Roethlisberger did his best to downplay any sense of the offthe-field issues swallowing the team whole. “I mean any team, any sport is going to have some kind of distractions throughout the year,” Roethlisberger said. “I think that’s what makes you professional. How can you respond and recover from it.” The best chance Pittsburgh has at crawling out of its self-created funk must come with Brown in the fold.

He’s been targeted a league-high 33 times and his 18 receptions are tied for the team lead with JuJu Smith-Schuster. Brown, however, is averaging just 8.9 yards per catch, a byproduct of defenses determined to take away his breakaway ability.
