Fall colors have begun to appear on the trees around the area, bringing leaves of yellow, orange, red and other colors. Leaves will continue to change colors and fall
in the coming weeks as the fall colors peak. Fall colors are expected to explode across most of the state this coming weekend, according to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources (ODNR). Ohioans and out-of-state visitors are encouraged to explore a state park, nature preserve, wildlife area or forest this October to enjoy the
many free amenities that they offer, as well as the fall color Ohio provides.

GOD’S KIDS KORNER

The Ten
Commandments
of Halloween
I did some reading this past week about children
and Halloween, and I realize it may be quite a bit
different than you’re used to doing. Trick or Treat
night will be in a couple of weeks for many areas
even with Covid, so I wanted to write something
positive about the holiday. I found this article on a
church website and thought it was a good reminder to us all for going trick or treating
or even attending a family/friend
Halloween party this year. (So these
aren’t totally my ideas for today.)
I am sure, many of you will dress
up in costumes and go out collecting
candy from local homes or your family, but there are some things to think
Ann
about as you go “begging” especially
Moody
this year. First and foremost, be
Contributing safe. You should only go to houses of
columnist
people you know well like family and
friends. Wear a mask of some sort
that covers you mouth and nose, but
make sure you can see through it well. Make sure
you have an adult with you and take a ﬂashlight.
Watch for cars when crossing the streets. Always
have an older person like your mom or dad check
your candy before you eat it. Have fun but be careful and courteous.
Then here are “The Ten Commandments for
Halloween” that I read. As Christian children (and
adults too) they may be good things to keep in
mind no matter how you celebrate Halloween this
year.
1. We don’t want people to fear us. We want
people to love us!
2. We don’t want to make people shudder; we
want to make people smile!
3. We don’t want to wear costumes that will
make people sick; Jesus came to heal the sick!
4. We don’t want to focus on graves; we want to
focus on Jesus’ resurrection from the grave!
5. The only blood we should be happy about is
the blood that Jesus shed for our sins!
6. The only ghost we want to believe in is the
Holy Ghost!
7. The only screaming we should do is to shout
the love of Jesus from the rooftops!
8. We don’t want to act like bats. We want to act
like doves of peace!
9. We don’t want dress like devils. We want to
be angels of love!
10. On Halloween, we don’t want to celebrate
darkness; we want to be lights in the darkness.
We want people to know that there is something
special about us. We may be in costume, but our
hearts are dressed like Jesus!
This Halloween, let’s see how many people we
can make smile. Let’s see how many compliments
we can give other. Let’s see how many times we
can shrug, refuse to be afraid, and not dwell on
those extra-scary costumes and houses. Let’s see
how many times we can say “thank you,” when
someone gives us candy. Let’s remember to share
with little brothers and sisters who might not have
as much candy as we have when we get home.
Let’s say our prayer together. Father, help us to
be lights in the dark every day, but especially on
Halloween when so many are celebrating darkness. Let us be like the jack-o-lanterns we see so
many of that night and be lights shining in the
darkness for all to see. Help us stay safe, but still
have fun no matter how we celebrate this Halloween season. Amen.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES

Do we change the Bible or change ourselves?
Discussions about the
merits of Originalism and
Living Constitutionalism
have been making the
rounds these last few
days, showcasing a divide
in legal philosophies
within the political
realm. Originalists
believe that the
documents in question
should be interpreted
as originally intended
by the authors, whilst
Living Constitutionalists
believe that meanings
and interpretations
can change over time,
according to the desires
and perceived needs of
the moment.
There is a similar sort
of debate which occurs in
Biblical interpretation.
On the one hand, you
have those who feel
that the Bible should
be understood and
interpreted according to
current societal trends
or perceived needs,
with those parts that are
antithetical to modern
thought or personal
self-interest being
jettisoned and ignored.
Individuals can practice
this philosophy in varying
degrees, but it is a fairly
widespread sort of
occurrence.
On the other hand you
have those who assume
that the Bible must
mean what it has always
meant and it should be

for ‘All ﬂesh is like grass

ﬂower of grass. The grass
withers, and the ﬂower

describes spiritual
maturity as no longer

Obviously, if one feels
that God is not the author
of the Bible, or is tempted
to think the Bible can
be adjusted according to
the desires of the world,
then such verses may
well do little to persuade
one, for after all, by such

Long-term Care Facility
New cases have been
reported at the Gallipolis

(GDC) with additional
tests pending according
to the Ohio Department
of Developmental Disabilities.
According to the report
on Wednesday, there have
been a total of seven positive staff cases (4 in the
past week), with three
of those having returned
to work. There have
also been two positive
resident cases (1 in the
past week). There are 57
pending staff tests and 1
pending resident test.
According to Tamara
Hartley, a spokesperson
with the Ohio Department of Developmental
Disabilities who communicated with the Gallipolis Daily Tribune
via email, regarding the
report at GDC, each week
a percentage of staff are
tested as part of the ongoing surveillance testing/
strategy at the agency.
“If we have a positive
resulting from that testing, as an additional precaution, we go ahead and
test all staff and residents
who live in the home of
the person who tested
positive,” Hartley stated.
Local Schools
Southwestern Elementary School has a positive
case of a student, according to a letter sent to
families and posted to
the Gallia County Local
School District website
on Thursday morning.
In the letter, Supt. Jude
Meyers states, “We are
working with our Health
Department contacts

God change us to suit
Himself.
At the church of Christ,
we believe that the Bible
is the eternal word of the
Living God, and we invite
you to come worship with
us and study the Bible with

and school nurses for
tracing and are following
all of their procedural
guidance. Based on this
positive test, the health
department is placing
this classroom in quarantine until further notice.
All families should be
contacted to outline the
process for a safe return
to school.”
The ODH report on
Thursday shows limited
new cases in schools in
Gallia and Meigs Counties for the week of Oct.

under her tenure as Ohio’s Secretary of State, which tracked the
quality of life for Ohioans.
“If you want to manage it, you
have to measure it. If you want to
measure it, you have to deﬁne it,”
Brunner said.
The judges broke away from
the justices on the subject of a
“clean campaign agreement”
the Ohio State Bar Association’s
Campaign Advertising Monitoring Committee put together as
a pledge from the candidates
that they would be “personally
responsible” for the content of
“all statements and campaign
materials” relating to their judicial campaigns.
That pledge also charged the
OSBA committee with “reviewing judicial advertising” and
charged the candidates to “publicly disavow advertisements that
impugn the integrity of the judicial system,” the other candidates
or that “erode public trust” in the
judiciary.
O’Donnell and Brunner both
declined to sign the pledge, saying their judicial ethics were a
part of their campaign, as well as
their independence as candidates
and legal professionals.
“I’m a judge, and I’m running to be a justice of the Ohio
Supreme Court,” O’Donnell said.
“To do so, I have to be conﬁdent
in my judgment, so I will exercise
my own judgment and denounce,
if I see ﬁt, some third-party
advertising that might hypothetically appear.”
On the topic of money in
Supreme Court races, which are
not considered partisan races in
the state, the judges and justices
said money was a “necessary
evil” in any campaign for elected
ofﬁce.
“As long as we are going to
have judicial elections, we are
going to be raising money to
actually put forth our candidacy
and our First Amendment voice
in explaining to the voters why
you are the better candidate,”

Meigs County is one of
eight Yellow level-1 advisory counties on the State
of Ohio Public Health
Risk Advisory System as
of Oct. 15. The color is
updated each week during the Thursday news
conference by Governor
Mike DeWine.
Mason County
The West Virginia
Department of Health
and Human Resources
(DHHR) reported 155

in the 10 a.m. update on
Thursday, one less than
Wednesday.

Kennedy said.
As the incumbents, both Kennedy and French were asked
about appearing at partisan
events as justices on the court,
and navigating personal biases.
French and Kennedy both said it
was appropriate to speak at partisan events as long as they were
not speaking on behalf of a party
platform.
French also approved of an
example given by moderators in
which the Ohio Business Roundtable — a group of Ohio CEOs
led by former Republican legislator Pat Tiberi — pushed CEOs
to send out emails encouraging
employees to tie job stability to
the layout of the Ohio Supreme
Court.
“Ohio Business Roundtable
and the CEOS that are encouraging their employees to vote for
me, I applaud that effort,” French
said. “I believe that is a correct
statement that having me remain
on the Ohio Supreme Court is
better for the stability of the
court.”
As the justice system continues
to adapt to social distanced court
proceedings and online hearings,
the judges and justices said the
COVID-19 pandemic has brought
out creativity and innovation in
the judiciary, something that will
be necessary as the pandemic
continues, and as more permanent accessibility to the justice
system is demanded.
“The increased use of video,
the increased use of broadband,
and the increased access to
broadband especially in the rural
areas, will be key to providing
this for the future,” Brunner said.

Kansas hopes to
have coach Les
Miles back at WVU
By John Raby
Associated Press

Four games into the college season, West
Virginia will ﬁnally welcome thousands of people
to a home football game. Kansas plans to have
coach Les Miles there, too.
Miles announced last week that he tested
positive for COVID-19 and has quarantined at his
home. In a video Sunday, Miles said his health
was good and “I can’t wait to get back to our
players and our coaches as soon as it is safe to do
so.”
On Wednesday, Kansas athletic director Jeff
Long said Miles was expected to be at Saturday’s
game “as long as things stay on track.”
Kansas defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot said
Miles is popular among his players, “so it has kind
of motivated them to make sure that while he’s
away, that they stay the course and continue to
prepare for West Virginia.”
The Mountaineers (2-1, 1-1 Big 12) are allowing
up to 15,000 fans, or 25% of the stadium capacity,
when they welcome the Jayhawks (0-3, 0-2).
In two previous home games, only the families
of players and coaches were allowed to attend.
“I’m excited about welcoming back our
fans,” said West Virginia coach Neal Brown.
“We’ve missed them. We’ve missed our season
ticket holders. We’ve missed our students and
we’ve missed our alumni. I anticipate a great
atmosphere.”
West Virginia has won six straight in the series.
Some other things to know about the Jayhawks
and Mountaineers:
OFFENSES NEED HELP
Both teams are looking to get more out of their
offenses. Kansas ranks last among the 76 FBS
teams that have played with 8.2 passing yards per
completion. West Virginia is 59th at 10.6 yards.
Brown said he’s looking for either broken tackles on runs or more explosive pass plays. Jarret
Doege threw 42 passes in a double-overtime win
over Baylor but had just 211 yards.
Offensive coordinator Gerad Parker said if long
passes fall incomplete, West Virginia needs to keep
throwing them.

Falcons shut facility after 2nd positive
ATLANTA (AP) —
The Atlanta Falcons shut
their facility Thursday
following one new
positive test for COVID19. The team remains
scheduled to play at
Minnesota on Sunday.
Defensive tackle
Marlon Davidson was
placed on the COVID-19/
reserve list this week, and
the addition of a second
unidentiﬁed person
caused the Falcons to
act out of caution. All
team activity will be done
virtually.
“This decision was
made in consultation
with the NFL and
medical ofﬁcials,” the
team said in a statement.
“The health and safety of
our team is our highest

priority.”
The Falcons’ decision
follows outbreaks with
the Tennessee Titans and
New England Patriots.
The Falcons (0-5) ﬁred
coach Dan Quinn and
general manager Thomas
Dimitroff last Sunday
night, and Raheem
Morris was named
interim coach.
“Right now, in this new
COVID world, there’s a
lot of things that come
up in that world every
single day,” Morris said
Tuesday. “You just have
to deal with that all the
time.”
Davidson was the
second Atlanta player to
be placed on the COVID
19/reserve list in-season.
Rookie cornerback A.J.

Terrell missed two games
before returning for
last week’s home loss to
Carolina.
Protocols were
increased at the Falcons’
practice Wednesday.
“We deﬁnitely had
different meetings today,
completely virtual,”
quarterback Matt Ryan
said after practice. “We
were all in separate
rooms and in our own
space. Even in practice,
(shields) on our helmets.
I think we are doing
everything we can to
keep it at bay and do the
best we can under the
guidelines we’ve been
given.”
The NFL is attempting
to play a full schedule
amid the pandemic

without teams isolated in
a bubble as other sports
have done to protect
players and staff from
the virus. No games were
affected through the
ﬁrst three weeks of the
season, but the schedules
of nine teams have since
been disrupted.
Tennessee had the
most serious outbreak
with 24 tests returned,
including 13 players.
The league said this
week it will begin PCR
testing for COVID-19
on game days beginning
Sunday. The use of masks
in walk-throughs is now
mandatory, and only playcallers will be permitted
to wear face shields in
lieu of masks or gaiters
on the sideline.

to win the RSC East with
seven ﬁrst-place votes
and 62 points, one more
than WVU Tech’s six ﬁrstplace nods and 61 points.
Point Park tallied 45
points and Ohio Christian
ﬁnished with 30, while
Rio Grande (27 pts.) and
Carlow (12 pts.) rounded
out the divisional voting.
The 10-player RSC

Men’s Basketball Preseason All-Conference
Team was also conducted
by voting from the league
head coaches. Returning
players from last year’s
All-RSC First Team were
automatically named, and
returners from the AllRSC Second Team were
voted onto this year’s preseason team.

First-team returners
from last year include IU
Southeast forward David
Burton, IU Kokomo forward Desean Hampton,
Ohio Christian forward
Justin Barksdale, Midway
forward Kwon Evans
and WVU Tech forward
Tamon Scruggs.

THEIR VIEW

Broadband access during the pandemic
The COVID-19
pandemic has hit our
community hard. I
have seen its effects
on our community,
as a pastor, as a local
school board member,
as a businessman, and,
most importantly, as a
parent. Families have
been affected, businesses
have been impacted, and
communities have been
suffering.
The pandemic caused
our local school board
to reimagine learning
and we have designed
a blended plan with a
remote option as best for
all concerned. This was a
difﬁcult decision to make
and it was accomplished
by a lot of hard work
and preparation, in
addition to much prayer.
Gradually, we are
adjusting to this new
environment.
We have also received
assistance from a higher
power of a different type
— the state and federal
governments. Our rural
community lags behind

other areas in broadband
access, so I am pleased
to report that the Ohio
Department of Education
has awarded our local
school district more than
$36,000 in CARES Act
funding which will allow
us to improve Internet
access for our students
and teachers. This will
help students log on
from home or a hotspot
on their remote learning
days.
Even better news is
that increasing broadband
access helps bring more
learning opportunities
to our area for everyone,
including adults. These
opportunities are much
needed as we face a major
“skills gap.” A recent
report from the Lumina
Foundation says that
Meigs County currently
lags the rest of Ohio,
with just over 26 percent
of our adults possessing
an associate degree or
higher, in a time when
more than 60 percent of
Ohio jobs require post

ensuring education is
accessible and affordable;
making sure that Ohioans
can complete, not just
start, their education;
and developing regional
partnerships to address
local education and
workforce needs.
The plan proposes
numerous strategies,
including helping
businesses expand
training of current and
potential workers so
they obtain high-value
credentials and post
secondary degrees;
increasing internships,
apprenticeships and
co-ops for young people
and post secondary
students; expanding
the number of students
who apply for federal
aid; and providing help
so formerly incarcerated
individuals can become
skilled and be employed.
Our recent local
discussions around
learning in the pandemic
era have allowed me
to see the best in our
community and also

see some places where
we need to refocus our
efforts on supporting
one another in our
dreams and aspirations
for our families and
communities. Being able
to access the resources
which are already out
there is a crucial ﬁrst
step.
Greater broadband
coverage will help
students and adult
learners access the
education they’ll need
to compete for jobs that
will keep our families
and communities strong.
This will be a win for
everyone, long after the
pandemic is over.
