While probably undertaken due to cost, this left the sidewalks in Pomeroy to “look like checkerboards“ and he asked if council could order more aesthetic repairs. Mayor Bryan Shank said they could examine the village’s power to mandate ‘seam to seam’ replacements, and Councilperson Phil Ohlinger agreed the digging was often necessary but did not need to become unsightly. “We can’t stop them from working, they a have right of way, but we can set a standard,” he said.

CHURCH Daily Sentinel He is the perfect fit There is nothing better than a perfect fit. In relationship to general applications, you do not want things too short, too long, too tight, or too loose. It was the Psalmist who had the same consideration about a perfect fit when he wrote about “the stone which the builders rejected is become the head stone of the corner. This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” In the New Testament, by the leadership of the Holy Spirit, writers correctly interpreted this perfect fitting stone reference from the Psalmist in terms of Jesus Christ.

When they arrived back, the Disciples took their cloaks and put them on the donkey to make a nice soft seat for Jesus. Jesus got on the donkey and headed toward Jerusalem. When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, a very large crowd gathered to welcome Him. Some of them spread their cloaks on the road for Jesus to ride on, while others cut branches from the palm trees and spread them on the road or waved them for Jesus. Why would they do that? They were treating Jesus like a king! The Bible tells us that the crowd went ahead of Him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” The people greeted Jesus as a King that day. Today, Jesus wants to be “Jesus, comes and creates in us a new heart.” your King — and He will be if you will allow Him to come into your heart and guide your life. Jesus, comes and creates in us a new heart. This Sunday is called Palm Sunday because the people all waved their palm branches and welcomed Jesus as the King that He is.

The Lord’s perfect fit is obvious. But, unfortunately, the Lord’s perfect fit is too often not recognized, and is rejected. The Psalmist pointed out that initially the builders even rejected the stone that eventually was used as the head stone. Tradition tells that when the Jerusalem Temple was in the process of being built that this very incident took place. A certain stone was initially discarded and thrown to the rock heap. When no other stone filled the bill, it was From page 4 peace that comes only from Him. He fits us with a spiritual strength that equips us for the rigors of life.

When you incorporate the real presence of Jesus Christ in your life, it makes for a perfect fit! And, as the Psalmist said, “it is marvelous in our eyes.” The reason for that reaction is because it is seen the advantage made by Jesus Christ.

That’s because the Eastern High School girls track and field team, on the strength of winning four events, took fourth in Tuesday night’s annual Marietta Night Relays —which was held inside Don Drumm Stadium in Marietta. Of the seven schools representing the Mid-Ohio Valley, the Lady Eagles finished fourth — amassing 62 points with winning 10 points each for each event victory. For those into counting, that’s 40 points picked up by Eastern in only four events, while the Lady Eagles also amounted a third-place finish for six points in the distance medley. Williamstown won the team championship, scoring 80 points to top Warren with 71 — and host Marietta with 70. Parkersburg South scored 57 points, followed by Alexander at 54. Belpre rounded out the girls team scores with six points. On the boys side, Eastern and Belpre tied for sixthplace with 26 points — as Marietta (96 points), Williamstown (84 points) and Warren (72 points) were once again the top three clubs. Parkersburg South, once again, edged out Alexander —52-40 —for fourth. All 14 events, in both boys and girls, are contested as relays. The Lady Eagles opened the night with a triumph in the 4x1600 meters, completing the race in 24 minutes and 45 seconds. The quartet consisted of opening leg Jessica Cook, second leg Taylor Parker, third leg Rhiannon Morris and anchor leg Kaitlyn Hawk. Cook then anchored the winning 800m sprint medley, which also included Rylee Haggy, Jess Parker and Cierra Smeeks. That foursome finished the race in exactly two minutes flat. Parker (second) and Morris (third) made up the middle legs of the 4x800m —which also included anchor leg Laura Pullins and opening leg Ally Durst. Their winning time was 10 minutes and 48 seconds. Finally, Cook, Durst, Jess Parker and Taylor Parker posted the win in the 4x400m, completing the four-lap race in four minutes and 23 seconds. For Eastern’s boys, their highest place was a runner-up effort in the shot put relay —combining the best throws from Tyler Davis, Corbett Catlett and Dalton Scott. The Eagles also placed third in the 4x1600m and discus throw. A complete list of results can be found on www.baumspage.com.

Adam Duvall also homered as the Reds rallied from an early three-run deficit to take the opening series, winning two of three. Lorenzen’s solo homer — the second of his career — off Adam Morgan (0-1) put the Reds ahead 5-4 in the sixth inning. Manager Bryan Price used the reliever because he’s working with a short-handed bench to start the season. The Reds’ last pinch homer by a pitcher came in 2009, when Micah Owings connected off the Cardinals’ Ryan Franklin. Lorenzen didn’t pitch in the game. Cody Reed (1-0) got his first major league win by escaping threats in each of his two innings. Drew Storen pitched the ninth for his first save since the Reds signed him to a one-year, $3 million deal. The Phillies blew a 4-1 lead set up by Daniel Nava’s pair of homers off Davis. Nava hit a solo shot on Davis’ seventh pitch in the majors. He added a two-run homer in the third. The last Phillies player to homer in his first two at-bats with the team was Jeremy Giambi in 2002, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. It was Nava’s first career two-homer game.

In just her third start of the season, Jenkins needed just 68 pitches 53 of which were strikes - to record her third win in as many decisions. She allowed a pair of doubles, two singles and hit a batter, with only one of the base runners advancing beyond sec- ond base. Jenkins got all of the offensive help she would need on a two-out home run in the first by Skeese, her team-leading seventh long ball of the season. Rio tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the sixth when Arndt led off with a double and scored on a one-out double by senior Kari Jenkins (Jackson, OH) - who herself scored moments later on a twoout single by Gregg. The RedStorm’s final run came in the seventh when senior Alex Stevens (Oak Hill, OH) led off with a double, was bunted to third and scored when Arndt’s grounder to third was errored. Arndt finished 3-for-4 in the victory, while Jenkins had two hits. Harder and Ward had doubles for UNOH, while Heather Sanderson started and took the loss for the Racers.
