The Meigs County Commissioners approved a resolution on Thursday to establish the Meigs County 911 Center — a centralized dispatch agency — and the oversight board which will work to set up the transition of services and continued operation of the centralized dispatch. Prior to this, law enforcement dispatch had been handled separately from ﬁre and EMS dispatch, leading to some calls coming in to one agency or the other need- ing to be transferred in order to be assisted. The resolution approved by the commissioners read in part, “The current Meigs County Commissioners see an opportunity to fulﬁll the completion of a true 911 Center that will handle the receiving and dispatching of all emergency communication between the public and public safety, included but not limited to ﬁre service, emergency medical service, and law enforcement. “The expected revenue from the 911 levy combined with a commitment from the county commissioners will allow for a true 911 Center to provide for emergency communications and allow Meigs County to be in compliance with rules and mandates from See CENTER | 12 Marker rededication to honor Campbell By Lorna Hart Special to OVP POMEROY, Ohio — On Monday, Sept. 28, a re-dedication ceremony will be held for a Meigs County, Ohio native whose literary genius and commitment to education has been globally recognized. Few can claim the span of accomplishments made by James Edwin Campbell within his brief 28-year life. Born Sept. 28, 1867, in the Kerr’s Run area of Pomeroy, Ohio, Campbell passed away Jan. 26, 1896, during a holiday visit to Pomeroy. In the intervening years, Campbell attended elementary school at the Kerr’s Run Colored Photos courtesy of WVSU Archives Trailblazer and Meigs County, Ohio native, James Edwin Campbell.

His journalism career included his work as an editor for two West Virginia newspapers, and writing regularly for Chicago newspapers. Campbell was on the literary staff of the Chicago-Times Herald, published essays and poetry, and is credited with being the ﬁrst to publish poetry in what has been referred to by linguists as AfricanAmerican Vernacular English.

Campbell guided the school through its relocation to a larger former white school. After the move, the school was renamed Langston Academy in honor of AfricanAmerican educator John Mercer Langston. Campbell served as principal of Langston Academy until he resigned in 1892, to become the ﬁrst president of the newly established West Virginia Colored Institute. Civil War era legislation called the Morill Act provided for establishment of schools supported by the sale of public lands in order to teach agriculture, engineering, and military tactics. An update in 1890 required each state to show that race was not an admissions criterion, or else to designate a separate land-grant institution for persons of color. States that did not comply with the provision to educate all students would not receive federal funding from the program. Since the West Virginia constitution did not permit the education of “white and colored youths” in the same ing into apartments neighboring Taylor’s. Still, Jones vowed to continue pressing for increased police accountability and for a statewide ban on “noknock” warrants — the kind issued in the Taylor case, though state Attorney General Daniel Cameron said the investigation showed police did announce themselves before entering. “I believe that we are going to get past this,” Jones said as demonstrators began to arrive at the park dubbed Injustice Square. “As long as we continue to remain strong, and stay on the same page, we can still get some justice.” Though protests in Louisville began peacefully the day before, ofﬁcers declared an unlawful assembly after they said ﬁres were set in garbage cans, several vehicles were damaged and stores were broken into. A 26-yearold man was arrested and charged with ﬁring at police and wounding two ofﬁcers. state schools, the state Legislature passed an act that allowed funds to be set aside speciﬁcally for the education of “colored youths” in separate facilities. The West Virginia Legislature founded the university as the West Virginia Colored Institute on March 17, 1891. It was one of 17 Black land grant colleges established under the Second Morrill Act of 1890. The original curriculum of the Institute consisted of the equivalent of a high school education, and included agriculture, horticulture, mechanical arts, domestic science, vocational training, and teacher preparation. Campbell used his role to provide guidance to West Virginia’s African-American coal miners on ways to help their children acquire an education. In 1929, the school became West Virginia State College. When the United States Supreme Court’s decision in 1954 outlawed school segregation, the college became integrated. In 2004, the West Virginia Legislature approved WVSC’s transition to University status. Today, the school is known as West Virginia Photos courtesy of GCCVB Rock #5 was at the Farmers Market Sign in Rio and found by Cheryl Young.

Two clues are released on Fridays regarding the locations of two rocks, with this week’s clues as follows: - “The magic of this garden in Downtown Gallipolis is surrounded by literature and art.” - “They were originally constructed in 1892 to provide water service to the Ohio Hospital for Epileptics.” Since the rock hunt began this month, a total of eight different rocks have been brightly painted with a ﬂeur-de-lis and will be hidden throughout Gallia County. All rocks will be visible and will be placed outdoors. Each rock will be individually matched with a prize. Week four prizes are Holzer ultra-soft blanket and a gift card to Daylight Donuts. When a rock is found, return it to the Gallia County Convention and Visitors Bureau (GCCVB) on Second Avenue, Gallipolis, to collect the prize. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

In 1973, West Virginia State College honored Campbell by naming its vocational building Campbell Hall. The former home economics cottage was re-purposed into a conference center, and the facility was named the Campbell Conference Center. The University’s iconic clock tower features plaques recognizing past presidents, including its ﬁrst president James Edwin Campbell. Campbell was also instrumental in establishing the West Virginia Teachers’ Association in 1891 with the goal of “encouraging interest in their work and cooperation throughout the state’s African-American teaching corps.” He left the Institute in 1894 and moved back to Chicago. While it has been noted in several histories about his life that he conﬁded in a friend after leaving the Institute, “Life is too uneventful in a little village. I want to get out into the great world.” Despite this, his last poem written on Dec. 7, 1895, was entitled “Homesick.” The poem detailed his longing for the “quiet of the home place.” A historic marker was placed in his honor in 2007 in a mini-park near his boyhood home in Kerr’s Run. The marker was damaged beyond repair in 2013 but thanks to the efforts of the Meigs County Historical Society, a grant was secured to replace it. Williams is 71. Actor Mark Hamill is 69.

(AP) — Authorities pleaded for calm while activists vowed to ﬁght on Thursday in Kentucky’s largest city, where a gunman wounded two police ofﬁcers during anguished protests following the decision not to charge ofﬁcers for killing Breonna Taylor.

The premise goes something like this: I will do for you in equal measure to how you do to me. If you are kind to me, then I will be kind to you. If you give to me, then I will give back to you something of equal value. If you fail to provide what I Jonathan want, then I will leave the relationship. McAnulty Such thinking affects relationships of all Contributing sorts, from marriages to friendships to interactions with neighbors. Columnist It is thinking, that though common in the world at large, should be uncommon in the lives of those who are disciples of Jesus Christ. In fact, it is thinking that runs directly counter to the commands of Christ. It is a prime example of the difference between the received wisdom of the world, and the “foolish” ways of God (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:1825). Without getting into the basic point that such thinking actually weakens relationships and makes them short-lived, let’s look at three Scriptural reasons why a transactional approach to relationships is not the approach of Christ. Firstly, such transactional thinking directly contravenes the “Golden Rule,” taught by Christ. “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them… (Matthew 7:12a; ESV) In every situation, at every time, Jesus directed that His followers treat others as they wished to be treated. That is, instead of treating others similar to how they treat you, or in retaliation to how they treat you, God wants us to proactively be doing good. This includes even those circumstances when we might be treated poorly. “See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone (1 Thessalonians 5:15; ESV).” This principle is taught in repeated and emphasized in multiple places in the Bible (cf. Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:14-21, 1 Peter 3:9, etc.), reﬂective of God’s earnest desire for us to put it into practice. If others are not behaving as they should, followers of Christ are not excused to retaliate, but are expected by Christ to rise above and be good and kind anyway. Secondly, and closely related to the ﬁrst point, such transactional thinking is inherently selﬁsh, selfcentered and unloving. Christ taught us to love others even as He had loved us (cf. John 13:34-35). If we fail in this, we fail in our discipleship to Him. Concerning the proper attitude, reﬂective of a Christ-like love, it is explained, “Do nothing from selﬁsh ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more signiﬁcant than yourselves (Philippians 2:3; ESV).” It is impossible to love like Christ, who died for those who were persecuting Him, if we are focused primarily on ourselves and our own interests. Such selﬂessness should inform every aspect of our lives: how we treat our spouses, how we treat our children and family members, how we interact with our coworkers, how we interact with our community. Love cannot be compartmentalized and be the love that Christ taught. Jesus pointedly told us, “If you love those who love you, what reward do you have (Matthew 5:46a; ESV)?” Thirdly, transactional thinking in terms of our relationship with others, as Christians, overlooks the very real truth that all Christians are in debt in terms of what they owe others and it is a debt that we can never repay. Therefore, if we wish to look at such things transactionally, we are obligated, by reason of debt, to be as kind and merciful and loving to others as is humanly possible, at all times and in all ways. Simply explained, Christ died for us, out of love, offering us the opportunity for forgiveness and salvation. In return, as we cannot repay Him directly, He expects us to do the same to others, teaching, “in as much as you did it for the least of these my brethren, you did it for me (Matthew 25:40).” Therefore, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32; ESV).” The Bible also has a warning for us in this regard: if we will not extend His love to others, He will, in anger, retract His mercy. This is the lesson of the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant (cf. Matthew 18:2135) and was the point Jesus made countless times when He said, “if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:15; ESV).” This debt to God, in Christ, was the reason why the apostle Paul declared, “ I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish (Romans 1:14; ESV).” It was not because the Greeks, or any others, had done so much for Paul. In point of fact, the various peoples of the world imprisoned Paul, beat him, stoned him, starved him and in other ways, with frequency, mistreated him. Paul did not feel a debt to the world because of what the world had done for him. But he did feel a debt to Christ because Christ had died for him, placing an obligation upon Him to love others with the same selﬂessness, seeking always their good and salvation. Still today, as if as Christians are tempted to ask others, “what have you done for me lately,” we are well advised to stop and remember what Christ did for us, and the debt that we can never repay.

You will remember that the Israelites were God’s chosen people and were led by Moses. They have escaped from slavery in Egypt, and God is leading them to the Promised Land. They are traveling mostly through the desert, so when they were hungry, God provided manna for them to eat every morning. It was much like dew: white and ﬂakey and tasted like cakes made with honey. God provided for their need of food to eat. Well, this week, they are still traveling in the desert. They needed food which God gave to them, but you can and walk ahead imagine they of the people.

After all, who would have thought you could get water from a rock? (You can read this whole story in Exodus 17:1-7 if you want.) Let’s pray together. Dear Father, when we face impossible situations, help us to remember that we serve a God who can rain down food from heaven and get water from a rock. Nothing is impossible for You. You love us and always take care of us. Thank You! Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church.

CROSS WORDS A hymn about Christ As a worship minister, my primary responsibility is choosing songs for our congregation to sing each Sunday. And this is something I take rather seriously. Because music is powerful. The songs we sing stick with us for years to come, inﬂuencing what we believe about the world, life, humanity—and, yes, even God. So, I’m careful to choose songs that communicate biblical and theological truth. Songs that exalt God. Songs that confront sin. And songs that celebrate Christ’s work on our behalf. If, then, the songs we sing are more than a twenty-minute timeslot on a Sunday morning, they deserve our attention. In the Book of Colossians, Paul provides a good example of just how important songs are to the people of God. Writing to a congregation inﬂuenced by a form of Gnosticism, Paul shares an early Christian hymn. And I ﬁnd it fascinating that, of all things, Paul uses a hymn to speak truth into a culture full of lies. According to false teachers in Colossae, God didn’t create the Universe, He never became man, and Jesus was an emanation—a good angel. The apostle Paul begins to contradict this “Colossian Heresy” with a hymn about Christ. Let’s look at the lyrics together. “He [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the ﬁrstborn of all Because God came creation. For by to us. He walked him all things in our shoes. Ate were created, our food. Wore in heaven and our clothes. Slept. on earth, visible Wept. Worked.

But I do want God’s role as Creator to highlight three things and cling to scientiﬁc about Christ that must theories. In this hymn, have been particularly the beauty of God’s work interesting to those in in creation is celebrated. Colossae.

(see Jn. 1:18) by becomPaul continues to ing ﬂesh and dwelling explain how all things among us (see Jn. 1:14). are created through The implications Christ and for Christ. are enormous. Why? Both the things we see, as well as the things we can’t see. He mentions how, through Christ, all thrones, dominions, rulers, and authorities are created. And this is important for the Colossians inﬂuenced by mysticism to hear (see Col. 2:8, 15). Christ is the agent of creation—through whom and for whom all things are created. And He sustains this creation by the word of His power (see Heb. 1:3). Third, Christ is the Prince of Peace. In verses 18-20, Paul explains how Jesus is the ﬁrstborn from the dead. And now, as His people, we await our own resurrection (see 1 Cor. 15). This is our hope. Made possible by the work of Christ on our behalf. That, through Christ’s blood, we have peace with God. Both now and forever. In Christ, we’re set free from the bondage of sin. Creation is redeemed by His blood. All demons, authorities, rulers, and thrones subject to Him. He is the Prince of Peace. So, do the songs we sing in worship communicate truth like this? Do they adequately display God’s Word in a culture full of lies? In Colossians 1:15-20, Paul uses a hymn to breathe theological truth into a secular culture, and I hope our songs do the same.

TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Friday, Sept. 25, the 269th day of 2020. There are 97 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 25, 1957, nine Black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division. On this date: In 1789, the ﬁrst United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratiﬁcation. (Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.) In 1904, a New York City police ofﬁcer ordered a female automobile passenger on Fifth Avenue to stop smoking a cigarette. (A male companion was arrested and later ﬁned $2 for “abusing” the ofﬁcer.) In 1911, ground was broken for Boston’s Fenway Park. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colo., during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’). In 1956, the ﬁrst trans-Atlantic telephone cable ofﬁcially went into service with a three-way ceremonial call between New York, Ottawa and London. In 1962, Sonny Liston knocked out Floyd Patterson in round one to win the world heavyweight title at Comiskey Park in Chicago. In 1974, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tommy John underwent an experimental graft reconstruc- tion of the ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow of his throwing arm to repair a career-ending injury; the procedure, which proved successful, is now referred to as “Tommy John surgery.” In 1978, 144 people were killed when a Paciﬁc Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a private plane collided over San Diego. In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the ﬁrst female justice on the Supreme Court. In 1992, NASA’s Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the red planet (the probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993). In 2016, golf legend Arnold Palmer, 87, died in Pittsburgh. Jose Fernandez, 24, ace righthander for the Miami Marlins, was killed in a boating accident with two friends off Miami Beach. �NEWS/WEATHER 12 Friday, September 25, 2020 Center From page 1 the Ohio 911 program ofﬁce,” continued the resolution. Dispatch for the Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce had been handled from the sheriff’s ofﬁce until the beginning of COVID19, when the dispatcher moved to the Robert E. Byer Emergency Operations Center, alongside, but not combined with ﬁre and EMS dispatch. “Response time to emergencies has decreased tremendously (since the move),” said Meigs County 911 and EMS Director Robbie Jacks. “The goal is to make the community safer for our citizens and we have done that.” Beginning on Jan. 1, 2021, the dispatchers which are working for EMS or the sheriff’s ofﬁce currently will become Meigs County 911 Center dispatchers, able to handle calls for law enforcement, ﬁre and EMS. Calls will be handled from the Emergency Operations Center. Director Jacks stated he is conﬁdent the people handling the calls are very skilled in what they do and will be ready to take on the challenge of the centralized dispatch. Jacks noted that last year Meigs County 911 invested approximately $213,000 in new technology and equipment which has not yet been utilized to its full potential. The system will be able to handle many of the needs of law enforcement dispatch, alongside EMS and ﬁre dispatch. The Meigs County 911 Dispatch Agency is able to be formed in part due to the 911 levy which was approved by Meigs County voters in November 2019.

The oversight board will be working out details such as job duties, pay scales and other details on how the new agency will operate prior to Jan. 1. Sheriff Keith Wood stated that the centralized dispatch has been something that has been needed for a number of years, but is not without concerns. Wood stated that the sheriff’s ofﬁce dispatchers are the “heartbeat of our ofﬁce,” handling a number of duties, including serving as corrections ofﬁcers for the jail space when it was open at the sheriff’s ofﬁce. The sheriff’s ofﬁce dispatchers also work to ﬁnd housing for inmates, make sure transports and appointments are scheduled and complete call logs among many other things. Wood expressed concern regarding not having those individuals in the sheriff’s ofﬁce handling many of the duties they have in the past, but that it is something to be worked on in oversight board discussions on exactly what duties the new dispatch positions will include. While there will be challenges to be worked out, Sheriff Wood, Director Jacks, Major Scott Trussell and commissioners Jimmy Will, Randy Smith and Tim Ihle all agreed that the move to centralized dispatch was needed and in the best interest of the residents of Meigs County. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.
