OHIO VALLEY —
Finding the perfect
tree for Christmas is a
popular tradition for the
holiday season.
Bob’s Market and
Greenhouses have been
assisting residents of
Mason, Meigs and Gallia counties to ﬁnd their
Christmas tree since
1970. The holiday trees
at Bob’s come from
North Carolina and
Pennsylvania freshly cut
and are an assortment of
ﬁrs, Fraser and Douglas.
The two types are distinguished by the length of
their needles. The Fraser
ﬁr being the most popular purchase.

Tomek shared that customers typically search
the grounds for their tree
as a family asking for
assistance when needed.
The most frequently
asked question being
how much water, if any,
is needed for the tree.
Tomek advises the trees
to be kept in water and

Zimbabwe asks if
new leader, a Mugabe
ally, can bring change
By Andrew Meldrum
Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG — Zimbabwe’s incoming
leader Emmerson Mnangagwa, widely known as
the Crocodile, is seen as a smart, ruthless politician, and many question if he will be able to bring
the change the country craves.
“We are witnessing the beginning of a new,
unfolding democracy,” the 75-year-old announced
Wednesday upon his return to the country, two
weeks after his ﬁring by longtime mentor Robert
Mugabe led to the president’s downfall.
Despite the message of inclusion, Zimbabweans noted that Mnangagwa made his ﬁrst public
remarks outside ruling ZANU-PF party headquarters and, switching to the local Shona language,
praised the party.
They ask whether Mnangagwa will be adequately independent from ZANU-PF to revive the
battered economy and restore democracy with the
backing of the opposition and others.
The ruling party has proven it protects its own.
It assured Mugabe he would not be prosecuted if
he stepped down, ZANU-PF chief whip Lovemore
Matuke told The Associated Press: “He is safe, his
family is safe and his status as a hero of his country is assured.”
On Thursday, the opposition MDC-T party said
it had not been invited to Mnangagwa’s inauguration Friday morning at a 60,000-seat stadium.
That’s after the MDC joined the efforts to remove
Mugabe, seconding the motion in Parliament to
impeach him.
Mnangagwa’s remarkable rise to power — from
being sacked as vice president and ﬂeeing the country to being named Zimbabwe’s next leader — was
largely thanks to the military, which put Mugabe
under house arrest, and ruling party lawmakers
who introduced the impeachment proceedings.
It is widely expected that Mnangagwa will continue to rely on them.
“Can a crocodile change its scales? Everybody
is asking that question. Certainly his ﬁrst speech
was a lost opportunity. He did not speak about
the need for an inclusive government,” said Piers
Pigou, southern Africa expert for the International
Crisis Group. “He has a long past with ZANU-PF
and the military and that past may stick to him
like chewing gum on a shoe.”

There are extra dollars

A HUNGER FOR MORE

Live out the love and kindness of Christ
I had thought that I would be
writing this week on the matter of Thanksgiving or perhaps
an admonishment to beware,
this Black Friday weekend, the
frenzied lures of greed and covetousness that turn relatively
sane and civilized people into
barbaric hordes terrorizing
retail establishments (all to
the liking of those same retail
establishments).
However, the explosion in
the news of stories of men in
power who have reportedly sexually harassed and/or assaulted
women, using their position
and afﬂuence to force compliance and then to buy silence,
underscores the urgent need
for dialog among Americans
in regard to what it means to
be a man and whether or not a
man can be a man without also
being a sexual predator.
Ultimately, sexual harassment and sexual assaults
emanate primarily from what
the Bible refers to as sin, a
condition that is essentially
intertwined with what it means
to be human. From this tragic,
but intrinsically human quality, ﬂow thoughts, attitudes,
actions, habits and lifestyles
that erode what God intended
for what was in the beginning
the crown of God’s creation,
humanity which alone among
living things bears the image of
its creator (Genesis 1:26).
Sexual sin, in all its forms, but

maritally faithful, and respectful of women.
These men, like Paul, are
placed in such a proximity to
your life that they challenge
and encourage you to live like
men should, courageously and
faithfully complementing the
work that God does through
women who also follow God’s
leading for their lives.
Like Paul the Apostle, their
lives say, “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes
on those who walk according
to the example you have in us”
(Philippians 3:17 ESV).
They can see the snares of
adultery and sexual promiscuity. They have recognized the
dangers of pornography and
the travesty that it is and how
it relegates women to the role
of objects of pleasure and how
it enslaves men to the pursuit
of physical pleasure. Many
of these men have failed at
some point but have repented
(and not because they were
“caught”) and now seek, with
God’s help, to live out the
higher calling of viewing others, including women, the way
God views them, precious and
empowered co-laborers in His
kingdom. These men have
come to the place where they
have taken their sin (not just
sexual sin) and placed it under
the cross of Jesus Christ and
found the forgiveness of God.
Seek out such men. Spend time

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES

Christ the King God had a plan for men
What do you want to be when you grow up- a
teacher, a policeman, a lawyer, a doctor, or a
nurse? There are so many jobs from which to
choose nowadays. How do we ever decide? Someone might choose a job where they think they
can make a lot of money. Another
might choose their career because
of something they love to do or
because they want to help people or
because they are very good at doing
something. A person could choose
to follow their parents in their
chosen profession. Quite often an
Ann
individual starts out thinking they
Moody
want to be one thing, and then they
Contributing
decide it isn’t right for them, so
columnist
they choose another type of work.
What we think we want to work at
when we are young may not be what we end up
doing when we are adults. Sometimes even as
adults, we may change careers.
Do you think Jesus ever thought about what He
was going to be when He grew up? He could have
become a carpenter. His earthly father, Joseph,
was a carpenter, and when Jesus was a young
man, He worked with his father in his carpenter’s
shop. Perhaps Jesus might have chosen to be a
doctor. He certainly had a gift for healing people.
He might have chosen to be a wine maker. When
He turned water into wine at a wedding feast, the
guests thought it was the best wine they had ever
tasted. Surely Jesus could have gone into the ﬁshing business. He once told some ﬁshermen where
to cast their nets, and they caught so many ﬁsh
that their nets could not hold them all.
Those would have all been good choices for
Jesus, but that was not what He was born to do.
Jesus was born to wear a crown. Who wears a
crown? That’s right – a king, but Jesus’ crown
was not a shiny, jeweled one. No, His would be a
crown of thorns. Now, a person just doesn’t just
wake up one day and say, “I know what I want to
be… I want to be a king.” No, a person has to be
born to be a king. Jesus’ Father was God, and God
sent Jesus to be born our King – to save us from
our sins.
During the last days of His life on earth, Jesus
was arrested and put on trial. He was asked by
Pilate, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Is that
your idea, or did others talk to you about Me?”
Jesus asked. “It was your people who handed You
over to me. What have You done?” Pilate replied.
“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My
servants would ﬁght to defend Me. My kingdom
is from another place.” “So, You are a king then,”
said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born,
and for this I came into the world.” (John 18:3337)
This Sunday is called Christ the King Sunday.
Jesus was born to be King, but we know not the
kind of king that wears a golden crown and rules
an earthly kingdom. His kingdom is in Heaven
where He rules now and forever. We celebrate His
Kingship this week.
Let’s say a prayer together. Heavenly Father, we
offer praise to Jesus, our King. We choose to follow Him each day. We look forward to living with
Him in heaven where He reigns as King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

not a who-dunnit sort of

it was a hidden plan,

people associated with
the Church is that there
is a subtle personal
assessment that being

all that is necessary. We

who are not Christian

just because we say we

Isaiah

Contributing Psalm
columnist
it says,
“Remember
the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and
the rulings he has given”
(Psalm 105:5 NLT).
David wrote this compelling verse of scripture
with a heart of profound
thanksgiving. He knew
that in order to truly be
thankful toward God, he
had to remember what
God had done in the past
to bless him in the current. As David thought
about all the wondrous
blessings given to him
and his ancestors, he
found his Lord’s faithfulness to be ever so true.
I recently had an
encounter similar to
David’s; however, it had
a more contemporary
effect. As I curiously
scrolled through notes
on my cell phone, I came
upon some that dated
back to last year. Among
them were never-sent
letters portraying my
feelings as well as prayers
expressing a form of
desperation. Like David,
I quickly realized the
power and strength God
had worked around me.
While I kept in mind my
current standing, I discovered the blessings given
to me from God were not
only a demonstration of
his faithfulness, but also
of his inﬁnite love.

sacriﬁce to God” (Psalm
50:14 NLT). Begin to
remember all the Lord
has done, and don’t keep

you. Let God know it
by “singing a song of
thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders”
(Psalm 26:7 NLT). What

Perhaps the most
inspiring “remember”
story occurs in Luke
17. Jesus hadn’t been in
town but maybe a few
seconds. For many people, it would be enough
time to give a friendly
greeting. The 10 lepers,
however, give a greeting
many wouldn’t expect,
“Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us!” (Luke
17:13 NLT).
After ending their
bold shout, Jesus said,
“Go show yourselves to
the priests” (Luke 17:14
NLT).
In those days, lepers
would show themselves
to the priests when they
believed they had been
healed. Jesus worked
his marvelous strength
and healed each man,
but the healed lepers
had a decision to make.
Like any human today,

eigner?” (Luke 17:17-18
NLT).
Jesus was expectant.
He expected those he
so graciously blessed
to return with a blessing to their healer.
It wasn’t that Jesus
selﬁshly wanted their
attention. He didn’t do
the extraordinary action
for an applause, a gift,
or a social promotion.
According to verse 18,
he simply wanted “glory
to God.” It is simply an
act of praise. A praise
not to a selﬁsh man
but to a creative, loving
God. After all, he is the
one who has given us
salvation. Giving praise
to God is blessing in and
of itself. Other than the
act of unselﬁsh praise,
God speaks indirectly
of another beneﬁt of
remembering, “Stand up
and go. Your faith has
healed you” (Luke 17:19
NLT).
Deep into this verse
there lies a lesson, a
promise from God. The

they had to decide how
they would respond to
such an amazing blessing. Would they return
to thank Jesus for being
healed? One did. The
words of Luke say it
like this, “One of them,
when he saw that he was
healed, came back to
Jesus shouting, ‘Praise
God!’ He fell to the
ground at Jesus’ feet,
thanking him for what
he had done. This man
was a Samaritan” (Luke
17:15-16 NLT). What
an amazing opportunity
each one of these men
had to praise God. Ironically, nine of them never
did.
Why does it matter if
we remember all God
has done for us? In
the leper story, Jesus
responded to this question in a unique way. He
said to the leper who
returned, “Didn’t I heal
ten men? Where are the
other nine? Has no one
returned to give glory
to God except this for-

faith in Christ Jesus. For
as many of you as were
baptized into Christ have
put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor
free, there is neither male
nor female; for you are all
one in Christ Jesus. And
if you are Christ’s, then
you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the
promise.” (Galatians 3:2629; NKJV)
In Christ, salvation is
found by all and sundry
alike, and according to the
exact same promise. In
Christ, Jew and Gentile,
male and female, freemen
and slaves are all made to
be members of the same
body and descendants,

blessings that work has
brought to us. Thus,
Christians, the Bible
teaches, are blessed with
every spiritual blessing in
the heavenly places. (cf.
Ephesians 1:3)
It is unfortunate that
there are those who want
to continue to maintain
a distinct separation
between Jew and Gentile
today, insisting that the
Jews are still awaiting the
fulﬁllment of God’s plan
for them. But there is no
such distinction to be
had under the Gospel of
Christ. In Christ there is
no longer Jew or Gentile.
Thus we read in the
Bible: “For you are all
sons of God through

blessed.” (Genesis 22:18;
cf. Galatians 3:15-18)
Moreover, we observe
that the Spirit says,
through the apostle, that
the eternal purpose of
God, this plan which
brings Jews and Gentiles
alike together into one
family, and one body, is
not a plan destined to be
completed in the future,
but rather has already
been accomplished. God
“has realized” His purpose the Scriptures say.
This is not to say that
there aren’t promised yet
to be realized, or accomplished; but rather, Christ
ﬁnished that work which
He came to earth to do.
We can, today, enjoy the

Michigan looks to
extinguish OSU’s
dim playoff hopes

Friday, November 24, 2017 7

SSU holds off RedStorm
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — No. 8 Ohio State’s
national championship hopes seemed to dissipate
in the cold Iowa evening when the Buckeyes were
inexplicably throttled by the unranked Hawkeyes
on Nov. 4. A two-loss team has never made the
College Football Playoff in the three seasons of its
existence.
But a narrow path has opened that could see the
Buckeyes (9-2, 7-1 Big Ten, CFP No. 9) work their
way back into the ﬁnal four. That would require
robust victories over unranked Michigan at Ann
Arbor on Saturday and against No. 5 Wisconsin in
the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 2. Other
teams would have to create some chaos in the
rankings for Ohio State to move up, but it’s happened before.
The next hurdle just happens to be the 114th
version of the rivalry game against “that team up
north.” In Columbus, beating Michigan transcends
win-loss records and deﬁnes legacies. Same in Ann
Arbor.
So there will be no playoff talk at the Woody
Hayes Athletic Center this week. Coach Urban
Meyer is demanding a “laser focus” on preparing
for the Wolverines, who have lost to the Buckeyes
in each of the ﬁrst ﬁve seasons of Meyer’s tenure.
Beating Michigan is in the DNA of the program,
Meyer said, and the many Buckeyes players from
out of state quickly learn the importance of the
rivalry.
“I would say darn near every day you’re here
you get reminded of this game,” Meyer said.
“From coach (Mickey Marotti) in the offseason
to myself during spring ball and training camp,
we have periods devoted to this game during
practice. I mean, there would have to be something wrong with you not to ﬁgure this one
out.”
Meyer said that in previous coaching stops
at Bowling Green, Utah and Florida, he had to
learn about the traditional rivalries and what they
meant. Because he grew up a Buckeyes fan in
Ashtabula, Ohio, he already knew what was coming every year in late November.
“This one is very personal,” he said.
“It’s the biggest rivalry game in college football,
so there’s always a little bit more added to it,” said
Ohio State tackle and Chicago native Jamarco
Jones. “It means a lot to a lot of people.”
Last year’s double-overtime 30-27 win by No.
6 Ohio State over No. 10 Michigan in Columbus
helped pave the way to the College Football Playoff for the Buckeyes, even though they didn’t make
it to the conference championship game.
The game moves to Ann Arbor this year, but the
location hardly matters to the players.
“I love it, because there’s nothing like beating a
team but also beating the will out of their fans,”
Ohio State linebacker Chris Worley said of playing
in the Big House.
There are no playoff hopes for Michigan (8-3,
5-3), but a win over the Buckeyes would be a ﬁrst
for third-year coach Jim Harbaugh. And an upset
of the hated Buckeyes would be a salve to players
and fans in another mediocre season.
“I haven’t beaten them since I’ve been here,”
said Michigan defensive tackle Maurice Hurst,
a ﬁfth-year senior. “So I think it’s just such a big
opportunity just to get to play them and try to
grind out a win by any means necessary.”
Harbaugh witnessed his ﬁrst Ohio State-Michigan game in 1973, and then he went on to play
quarterback for the Wolverines from 1983-86.

The girls have testiﬁed

“This was a man we

AMES, Iowa (AP) — The ﬁnal week of Big 12
play in 2017 might serve as a preview of what’s to
come in 2018.
As many as ﬁve of the conference’s 10 teams
could have a freshman behind center this weekend,
including title game hopeful TCU. Baylor, Texas,
Iowa State and Kansas State could also ask a rookie
quarterback to step up as the regular season winds
down.
For the Horned Frogs, Shawn Robinson became
the ﬁrst true freshman quarterback to start for
coach Gary Patterson in his 17 seasons as the head
coach in last week’s 27-3 win over Texas Tech.
Robinson — a 6-foot-2, 225-pound native of
Desoto, Texas, who won the Gatorade Texas Player
of the Year award in 2016 — was an underwhelming 6 of 17 passing for 85 yards in relief of Kenny
Hill, who didn’t make the trip for undisclosed reasons. But Robinson did run for 84 yards and threw
a key touchdown.
Hill is listed as the starter for this week’s game
against Baylor, where a win would put the Horned
Frogs in the league title game against Oklahoma.
“I think he’s got a chance to get back,” Patterson
said of Hill. “Probably questionable … and I’d probably say closer to probable now.”
The Bears’ offense has improved ever since they
turned to freshman Charlie Brewer in late October.
Brewer threw a pair of TD passes against West Virginia and three in the Bears’ only win, over Kansas.
He threw three more touchdowns — along with
417 yards passing — in a loss to Tech on Nov. 11.
“I thought he did a nice job with his feet. I
thought he did a nice job keeping the chains moving,” Baylor coach Matt Rhule said after last week’s
loss to Iowa State. “For a young player, I think he’s
continuing to develop and play better.”

Larry Nassar, 54, admitted to abusing seven
girls, mostly under the
guise of treatment at his
Lansing-area home and
a campus clinic. All but
one of his accusers was a
gymnast. He faces similar
charges in a neighboring
county and lawsuits ﬁled
by more than 125 women
and girls. Nassar lost his
license to practice medicine in April.
Olympic gymnasts
Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Gabby
Douglas are among the
women who have publicly
said they were among
Nassar’s victims.
Some of his accusers
attended the hearing
Wednesday in a packed
Ingham County courtroom. Some were crying.
“For all those involved

… I’m so horribly sorry
that this was like a match
that turned into a forest ﬁre out of control,”
Nassar said . “I pray the
rosary every day for forgiveness. I want them to
heal. I want the community to heal.”
Nassar admitted to
digitally penetrating the
victims, agreed that his
conduct had no legitimate
medical purpose and that
he did not have the girls’
consent.
The plea deal in Ingham County calls for a
minimum prison sentence
of 25 years, but a judge
could set the minimum
sentence as high as
40 years. In Michigan,
inmates are eligible for
parole after serving a
minimum sentence.
Sentencing was set for
Jan. 12.
A prosecutor said 125
women and girls have
ﬁled complaints with
Michigan State University police.
Judge Rosemarie Aquilina told Nassar: “You
used your position of
trust … in the most vile

Braves lose 13 international players in MLB sanctions
ATLANTA (AP) — The
Braves lost 13 prospects and
former general manager John
Coppolella was banned for life
by Major League Baseball on
Tuesday for circumventing
international signing rules
from 2015-17.
Former Atlanta special
assistant Gordon Blakeley,
who was the team’s international scouting chief, was suspended from baseball for one
year by Commissioner Rob
Manfred.
Sanctions imposed by
Manfred will leave the Braves
unable to bargain at full
strength for a top Latin American prospect until 2021.
Manfred said MLB’s investigation determined the Braves
moved international signing
bonus pool money from one
player to boost another player’s contract.

UCLA player an
‘ungrateful fool’

Most notable among the
players the Braves will lose
is Kevin Maitan, an inﬁelder
from Venezuela who signed
for $4.25 million in 2016.
Other “high-value” players
the Braves will lose include
Juan Contreras, Yefri del
Rosario, Abrahan Gutierrez,
Juan Carlos Negret, Yenci
Pena, Yunior Severino, Livan
Soto and Guillermo Zuniga.
Three more international
signees — Brandol Mezquita,
Angel Rojas and Antonio
Sucre — were declared free
agents. The team’s contract
with prospect Ji-Hwan Bae,
which was not yet ﬁnal, was
disapproved. Finally, the
Braves were banned from
signing prospect Robert Puason in the 2019-20 signing
period.
The 13 players will be free
to negotiate as free agents

the 2019-20 signing period.
Also, the team’s international
signing bonus pool for the
2020-21 signing period will be
reduced by 50 percent.
The Braves already cannot
give an international signing
bonus of more than $300,000
for 2017-18 and 2018-19 as
penalties for exceeding their
signing bonus pools under
baseball’s previous labor contract.
And there is still more discipline to be handed down.
Manfred said he intends “to
discipline other Braves international baseball operations
employees who participated
in the misconduct.”
Coppolella, 39, did not

PALM BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — President Donald Trump started off his
ﬁrst day of Thanksgiving vacation Wednesday
by resuming his taunts
of the father of a UCLA
basketball player detained
for shoplifting in China,
calling him an “ungrateful
fool.”
In a series of tweets
ﬁred off before dawn, the
president complained yet
again that LaVar Ball,
father of LiAngelo Ball,
hasn’t given him credit
for the release of his son
and two other UCLA basketball players after they
were accused of shoplifting while in China for a
basketball game.
Tweeting from his Florida vacation home, Trump
said: “It wasn’t the White
House, it wasn’t the State
Department, it wasn’t
father LaVar’s so-called
people on the ground in
China that got his son out
of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME.”
“Too bad! LaVar is just
a poor man’s version of
Don King, but without
the hair,” he said, referencing the ﬂamboyant
boxing promoter whom
Trump once saluted as
“a phenomenal person”
despite a conviction for
manslaughter.
Trump also warned that
Ball “could have spent the
next 5 to 10 years during
Thanksgiving with your
son in China, but no NBA
contract to support you”
had it not been for his
intervention.
“But remember LaVar,
shoplifting is NOT a little
thing. It’s a really big
deal, especially in China,”
he wrote.
The president also
retweeted a post from
Joey Mannarino, a U.S.born radio host living in
London, who echoed the
statement: “The ungratefulness is something I’ve
never seen before. If you
get someone’s son out
of prison, he should be
grateful to you. Period.
I don’t care. If Hillary
got my kid out of prison,
as much as I hate the
woman, I’d thank her corrupt ass.”
LiAngelo Ball and two
UCLA teammates were
released after a brief
detention in China while
Trump was visiting the
country. Trump has taken
credit for the release,
saying he discussed the
situation with Chinese
President Xi Jinping in
Beijing.
Trump had previously
said he should have left
all three players in jail
because LaVar Ball hadn’t
thanked him publicly for
his intervention.

with other teams.
Also, the Braves will forfeit
their third-round selection in
the 2018 draft as punishment
for offering “impermissible
beneﬁts” to an unnamed draft
pick in an effort to convince
him to sign for a lower bonus.
The investigation showed
the players signed by the
Braves in 2016-17 would have
been unavailable if the team
had not circumvented the
rules by moving bonus pool
money.
Manfred said stripping the
Braves of the 13 players was
not sufﬁcient punishment. He
said “additional sanctions are
warranted to penalize the club
for the violations committed
by its employees.”
Therefore, the Braves will
be prohibited from signing
any international player for
more than $10,000 during

ther on Bowen or Johnson. A message left with
Bowen’s Miami-based
attorney, Jason Setchen,
was not immediately
returned.
The late arrival of
Bowen, a high school
All-American, was
expected to bolster one
of Pitino’s best recruiting classes in recent
years. At the very least,
Bowen was expected
to help Louisville move

sanctions announced
in June as a result of a
sex scandal. His status
changed soon after the
investigation unfolded
and had been in question until Wednesday’s
announcement.
Pitino has repeatedly said that he did
not participate in or
have any knowledge of
payments to a recruit’s
family.
An afﬁdavit presented
Oct. 16 by Pitino’s legal
team before Louisville’s
Athletic Association —
which hours later ﬁred
the Hall of Fame coach
for cause after 16 seasons — stated that he
“had no part — active,
passive or through willful ignorance in the conspiracy described in the
complaint.”
