Cross Words: Walk by faith, not by sight In this season of viruses and political instability, I ﬁnd myself thinking a lot about eternity. This world is not my home. And it can be hard for a young man like me to really embrace. After all, I look forward to what God has in store for me on this earth. Even still, at the end of the day, I know I’m not home yet. In October of 1950, “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis was published. It’s one of my favorite stories. As Lucy and her three siblings enter Narnia, everything changes. They fall in love with Aslan who is known for his protection and sovereignty in the Narnian world. Having fallen in love with Narnia, the Pevensie children are enamored by a world far beyond their wildest dreams. One of the reasons why this book remains so popular 70 years later is because of Lewis’s ability to capture us in Narnia. Even those who reject Christ ﬁnd themselves drawn here. Neil Gaiman, a secular author, writes, “The weird things about the Narnia books for me was that mostly they seemed true. These were reports from a real place.” Indeed, my favorite “For we walk by Lewis quote reads, faith, not by sight” “If I ﬁnd in myself (v. 7 ESV). After desires which nothall, this is one of ing in this world those t-shirt verses. can satisfy, the only Like, you know, logical explanation something we is that I was made would put on a coffor another world.” Isaiah fee mug or canvas.

For in this tent we groan, longing to put revealed. We long to see on our heavenly dwelling, the face of Christ. But until then, we walk by if indeed by putting it faith. on we may not be found After all, the author naked. For while we of Hebrews writes, are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened— “Now faith is the assurance of things not that we would be hoped for, the conviction unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, of things not seen” (11:1). Furthermore, so that what is mortal “And without faith it is may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared impossible to please him, for whoever would draw us for this very thing is near to God must believe God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. that he exists and that he So we are always of good rewards those who seek him” (v. 6 ESV). Then, courage. We know that as the author continues, while we are at home in he speaks of Abraham the body we are away who “… was looking from the Lord, for we forward to the city that walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:1-7 ESV). has foundations, whose designer and builder is There’s a lot in these God” (v. 10 ESV). verses. But I want us to This world is not our see the context of that home. Even still, we last verse, which reads, walk by faith. We look to Christ, trusting in His sovereignty. Trusting in His power. Resting in His promises. Last Saturday, my soon-to-be wife had a bridal shower. We received some decorations for our home, and they were all wonderful. But there’s one sign that sticks out to me. It says, “This home runs on faith.” And that sign hangs in our soon-to-be living room. Why? Not because it’s creative or cute (even though it is). Rather, the sign hangs where it does because it says something we believe. That, through every up and down of life, we walk by faith. In good times and bad times, we walk by faith. As I close, I want to encourage those who know they’re not home yet. Don’t lose hope. Don’t forget God’s promises. His heart is closer than you think. He cares more than you realize. And His grace is sufﬁcient for you. Would you walk by faith today? Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Find more at www. isaiahpauley.com.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 17, 1933, Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. On this date: In 1777, British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American troops in Saratoga, New York, in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. In 1814, the London Beer Flood inundated the St. Giles district of the British capital as vats of beer ruptured, sending more than 320,000 gallons of liquid into the streets; up to nine people were reported killed. In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted in Chicago of income tax evasion. (Sentenced to 11 years in prison, Capone was released in 1939.) In 1939, Frank Capra’s comedy-drama “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” starring James Stewart as an idealistic junior U.S. senator, had its premiere in the nation’s capital. In 1967, Puyi (pooyee), the last emperor of China, died in Beijing at age 61. In 1979, Mother Teresa of India was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In 1989, an earthquake measuring 6.9 in magnitude struck northern California, killing 63 people and causing $6 billion worth of damage. In 1990, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb. com) was created. In 2007, President George W. Bush, raising Beijing’s ire, presented the Dalai Lama with the Congressional Gold Medal and urged Chinese leaders to welcome the monk to Beijing. In 2014, the World Health Organization acknowledged it had botched attempts to stop the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, blaming factors including incompe- tent staff, lack of information and budget cuts. In 2018, residents of the Florida Panhandle community of Mexico Beach who had ﬂed Hurricane Michael a week earlier returned home to ﬁnd homes, businesses and campers ripped to shreds; the storm had killed at least 59 people and caused more than $25 billion in damage in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia. Ten years ago: Pope Benedict XVI gave Australia its ﬁrst saint, canonizing Mary MacKillop, a 19th century nun who was brieﬂy excommunicated in part because her religious order had exposed a pedophile priest. Five years ago: Thousands of migrants seeking a better life in Western Europe surged into Slovenia using a new route after Hungary sealed its border with Croatia. The ﬁnal US Airways ﬂight landed in Philadelphia, completing the last leg of its roundtrip journey. (The US Airways brand disappeared as the result of a merger with American Airlines.) One year ago: Maryland Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings died at the age of 68; the sharecropper’s son had risen to become a civil rights champion and the chairman of one of the House panels leading an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. The U.S. ambassador to the European Union told House impeachment investigators that Trump had told him and other envoys to work with his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, on Ukraine policy; Gordon Sondland said he was “disappointed” by that directive. Energy Secretary Rick Perry announced that he would leave his job by the end of the year; he’d been under scrutiny over the role he played in the president’s dealings with Ukraine. Chicago teachers went on strike after their union and city ofﬁcials failed to reach a contract deal in the nation’s thirdlargest school district. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Saturday, October 17, 2020 3 Authorities: Top Mexico official helped smuggle drugs to US By Stefanie Dazio Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Mexico’s former defense secretary helped smuggle thousands of kilograms of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana into the United States in exchange for bribes, according to court documents unsealed Friday.

Intercepted communications between Cienfuegos and a senior cartel leader discussed the general’s historical assistance to another drug trafﬁcking organization, as well as communications in which the defendant is identiﬁed by name, title and photograph as the Mexican government ofﬁcial assisting the H-2 cartel, authorities said. Mexico authorities don’t identify any drug cartel as H-2, which, according to U.S. ofﬁcials, was led by Juan Francisco Patrón Sánchez. Instead, Mexican ofﬁcials alleged Patrón Sánchez was a regional leader of the Beltrán Leyva drug cartel. He was killed in 2017 in a shootout with Mexican marines. U.S. authorities said in court documents that the cartel had numerous distribution cells in the U.S. when Cienfuegos led the Mexican military, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Ohio, Minnesota, North Carolina and New York. In Mexico, the cartel is accused of trafﬁcking hundreds of ﬁrearms and committing “countless acts of horriﬁc violence, including torture and murder, in order to protect against challenges from rival drug trafﬁcking organizations, ﬁght for territory and silence those who would cooperate with law enforcement.” 50-59 — 22 cases (1 death) 60-69 — 18 cases 70+ — 44 cases (1 new case, 5 deaths) On Friday on the “County Alert System Map,” Mason County was designated as “green” (3 or fewer cases per 100,000 people).

Last December, Deputy Matt McCormick with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department, was on a call that ended in gunﬁre, with McCormick being injured in the line of duty. McCormick eventually ended up at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, W.Va. for treatment of an injury to his left eye and the surrounding area on his face. Surgeries followed and he supposed, in all, he was out for a total of three months before returning to active duty, full time. Shortly after McCormick was injured, Chief Deputy Dave Downing contacted the organization that awards the Blue Heart Medal. During a ceremony earlier this month, Downing, along with Sheriff Greg Powers, presented the young deputy with the honor. “The Blue Heart Medal is the ﬁrst national medal to be awarded to law enforcement ofﬁcers who are either seriously wounded or killed in the line of duty, it’s similar to the Purple Heart Medal awarded to military personnel,” Powers said to those gathered at the ceremony held inside the third ﬂoor courtroom at the Mason County Courthouse. Powers said former President Theodore Roosevelt was on the medal, noting prior to becoming president, he was the New York City Police Commissioner. In 1910, Roosevelt is credited with delivering the speech known as “The Man in the Arena.” “Though it was written in 1910, it seems ﬁtting for today when police ofﬁcers are being criticized and attacked daily,” Powers said. The sheriff read portions of the famous speech, looking out at ofﬁcers with his department seated in the benches, ending his remarks with, “…‘no statue has ever been erected in honor of a critic. If you want to win, you have to show up, be vulnerable and be the man in the arena’ …which is what you guys are.” Chief Deputy Downing then presented McCormick with the Blue Heart Medal, which includes a medal for the lapel, neck, a challenge coin and a pin. Powers then told those gathered that each time McCormick calls him, he has a habit of saying, “Hey sir, how are you?” Powers said the morning the deputy was injured, he looked down at his cell phone to see McCormick phoning him, likely from the ambulance. Powers obviously took the call and was greeted with that same “Hey sir, how are you?” McCormick recalled he apologized to Powers, Deputy Matt McCormick with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department, pictured, was injured in the line of duty in December 2019.

Following the medal presentation, McCormick, who was hired by the sheriff’s department in 2018 and had previously worked at the Point Pleasant Police Department, was asked if he ever doubted returning to law enforcement? “There was some doubt whether I could do it or not,” McCormick said about the time shortly after being injured, when he was laying in a hospital bed, facing his recovery. “…I’m going to try to do it (the job) as long as I can do it.” “He adapted really, really well,” McCormick’s ﬁancée Hope Henry said in regards to his recovery and return to active duty. “He had his uniform laid out for the next day when he went back to work, so I’d say he was pretty excited to go back…like the ﬁrst day of school.” The young couple was asked if life had changed for them in regards to how they deal with the risk law enforcement ofﬁcers face, daily. “To be honest, it’s not that different,” Henry said about their lives after the injury. “I mean, I trust him to always be careful and be safe. I obviously can’t control everyone else…” “The worry has always been there,” McCormick said about the couple continuing to live their lives despite what they cannot control. As Sheriff Powers pointed out in his remarks, these days, many law enforcement ofﬁcers are facing a hostile environment from some, who are part of the all of the public, they have sworn to protect. When asked about this, and what he wanted Pictured from the Mason County Sheriff’s Department, from left, Deputy J.P. Anderson, Chief D.M. Downing, Lt. F.O. Terry, Cpl. J.N. Lee, Deputy M.

People are out there hurting. Yeah, they (some people) can be mad at us if they want, that’s their choice, they have the right to do it, I’ll protect them nonetheless. If I want them to take away anything (from my experience), we’re still human, they hurt, we hurt. We go on calls to save their lives. I mean, I needed the cops just as much as anyone else to save my life that night.” Also participating in the ceremony was Department Chaplain Jonathan Pinson and the Mason County Sheriff’s Department Honor Guard which presented the colors. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

It has featured highproﬁle errors — 100,000 faulty mail ballots sent out in New York, 50,000 in Columbus, Ohio, and a vendor supplying that state and Pennsylvania blaming delays in sending ballots on overwhelming demand. But there’s little evidence of the mass disruption that some feared as election ofﬁces had to abruptly shift to deal with the inﬂux of early voting. But there have been extraordinary lines and hourslong wait times in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina as they’ve opened in-person early voting. The delays were largely a result of insufﬁcient resources to handle the surge, something advocates contend is a form of voter suppression. Republicans argue that these signs of enthusiasm are meaningless — Democratic early voters are people who would have voted anyway, they say. But an AP analysis of the early vote shows 8% of early voters had never cast a ballot before, and 13.8% had voted in half or fewer of previous elections for which they were eligible. The data also show voters embracing mail voting, which health ofﬁcials say is the safest way to avoid coronavirus infection while voting. Of the early voters, 82% cast ballots through the mail and 18% in person. Black voters cast 10% of the ballots cast, about the same as their share of the national electorate, according to the AP analysis of data from L2, a political data ﬁrm. That’s a sign that those voters, who have been less likely to vote by mail than white people and Latinos, have warmed to the method. Voters are rushing to vote early in 2020 Ballots cast so far in 2020 already make up 12% of the total number cast in 2016.

It ended with a blown lead that short-circuited what would’ve been a dramatic comeback. West Virginia University-Tech scored the ﬁnal four points of the ﬁfth and deciding set to post a 3-2 (27-25, 26-24, 24-26, 10-25, 16-14) victory over the RedStorm, Tuesday night, in River States Conference volleyball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. The Golden Bears improved to 3-3 overall and 3-3 in the RSC with the victory. Rio Grande fell to 6-4 overall and 3-3 in conference play as a result of the loss. The RedStorm got off to a blistering start in set one by opening up a 24-14 advantage, but WVUTech roared to life and scored 13 of the next 14 points to grab an early match lead. The Golden Bears kept things going in the second stanza as well, ﬁnishing on a 13-6 run to erase an 18-13 deﬁcit and take a commanding edge in the match. Tech looked as if it would make quick work of its host by bolting to a 15-9 lead in set three, but Rio began the road back with a 17-9 spurt to ﬁnish the period and force a fourth set. The RedStorm scored the ﬁnal three points of the set, the ﬁrst of which came after the game ofﬁcials reversed their original call of a kill by Tech’s Brooklyn Cook which would’ve produced a 25-23 win for the Bears. Rio Grande parlayed its new-found momentum into an easy set four win, jumping to a 15-4 advantage and leading by as many as 15 points twice in the period. The RedStorm also scored six of the ﬁrst of seven points in the ﬁnal set, but Tech responded with an 8-3 run of its own and forged a 9-9 tie on the third of three straight blocks. Rio eventually moved to within a point of ﬁnishing off the comeback after an attack error by Tech’s Ana Alonso Olea made it 14-12, but the Bears scored the ﬁnal four winners - the last of two of which were Rio attack errors - to survive and get the win. Katelyn Byrd and Ana Muniz Rocandio ﬁnished with 13 and 11 kills, respectively, for WVU-Tech, while Lucie Strasser and Julia McClanahan added 26 and 18 assists, respectively, in the See VOLLEYBALL | 11 Courtesy|Justyce Stout Rio Grande sophomore forward Lexi Woods was among those named to the preseason All-River States Conference women’s basketball team on Wednesday.

Cleveland can quiet critics in Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (AP) — The trappings of a rivalry between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns have lingered even as the results have grown remarkably onesided. Bad blood. Trash talk. Emotionally charged games. The only thing the longrunning series has lacked for the better part of a quarter century returns Sunday when the unbeaten Steelers (4-0) host the surging Browns (4-1). Actual stakes. Pittsburgh is off to its best start in 41 years, but has gotten there by beating teams with a combined record of 3-15-1. The Browns haven’t been this good a month into the season since Bill Belichick was roaming the sidelines in something other than a hoodie with the sleeves cut off. Yes, this is different. So different that Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett’s ﬁrst visit to Pittsburgh since he ripped off Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet and swung it at him last November is not a major part of the narrative but simply outside “noise” both sides intend to tune out. “What transpired doesn’t really matter to me,” Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward said. The same goes in Cleveland. There’s simply too much on the line.
