Books donated in memory of educator By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com MIDDLEPORT — Teachers leave a lasting impression on their students and coworkers and that was certainly true of the late Carolyn Smith, according to her former student Ryan Cowan and fellow teacher Sheila Bevan. Cowan, who is now an assistant principal at a school in Los Angeles, recently wrote a book titled “Mr. Moonbean and the Halloween Crystal.” Bevan and some of the fellow former Middleport Elementary teachers recently purchased eight copies of Cowan’s book, which he signed, to donate to the Middleport Library in memory of Smith. While Cowan was recently in town, he and Bevan visited the library to deliver the books, and talk with The Daily Sen- tinel about the project and Smith’s influence on Cowan’s work. “She was an amazing role model; very challenging teacher; and had super high expectations but was very caring,” said Cowan. Cowan said the first couple chapters of his book are based on his experiences at Middleport Elementary, with the details and descriptions from his memory of time there, including in Smith and Bevan’s classes. “In the book there is cursive written on a chalkboard,” said Cowan. “That is definitely a memory I have of Carolyn Smith.” While Cowan admitted that children may not know what a chalkboard is, he said it was important to include that in the book as it was a teacher he loved and he wanted See BOOKS | 12 Planting apple trees in the Ohio Valley Orchard to be planted in Pomeroy By Lorna Hart Special to OVP POMEROY — The planting of apple orchards in the Ohio Valley has a long tradition, beginning in the late 1700’s. On Saturday, the tradition will continue with the planting of 28 apple trees at a park in Pomeroy. According to Pomeroy Mayor Don Anderson, the trees will be planted in the vacant lot beside the Skate Park on Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Pomeroy Mayor Don Anderson and village workers were at the park on Mechanic Street Thursday afternoon preparing the area for apple tree planting on Saturday. Mechanic Street. Council had been considering ideas for use of the lot during discussions about raised gardens with the Meigs County Farmers’ Market. The raised gardens under discussion will be community gardens, and that led to the idea of a community orchard. “We wanted to do something with that space that would enhance the park, and trees seemed like an appropriate addition,” Anderson said. “So we decided on apple trees, and to make it a community orchard.” Anderson purchased the trees using funds allocated for Pomeroy Parks and Recreation from Bob’s Market in Mason. He said the trees, already a good price with it being the end of the planting season, were offered for the project at an additional discount. “So I purchased 28 apple trees of different varieties for the space,” Anderson said. “We have already marked the spaces for the trees with flags, and will begin the planting Saturday.” Anderson added they See TREES | 12 See CASES | 2 Ohio governor appoints new health director AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Mike DeWine on Thursday appointed a new Health Department director and brought on a chief medical officer for the agency as the coronavirus raged in the state, hitting a number of ominous milestones. DeWine also said without providing details that he planned to announce additional measures to slow the spread of the virus. Ohio already has a statewide mask order, a limit— with exceptions — on gatherings over 10 people, and a ban on alcohol sales in bars and restaurants after 10 p.m. “We’re going to do what we can do wherever we can make an impact,” he said, calling the spread of the virus the number one threat to lives and to the economy. Most of the spread, DeWine added, is coming not from children attending school or from businesses — where mask wearing is customary — but from unauthorized mass gatherings and parties. Stephanie McCloud, currently the administrator of Ohio’s health insurance fund for injured workers, will become the new health director, DeWine said. She replaces Dr. Amy Acton, who led the agency’s initial response to the pandemic but then abruptly stepped down in June amidst a torrent of conservative criticism. DeWine’s first attempt at replacing Acton fell apart immediately in September as his new appointee, South Carolina public health director Dr. Joan Duwve, withdrew her name within hours, citing concerns over harassment her family might face. DeWine said he’s certain McCloud will also face criticism but said he’s confident in her ability to withstand it and do her job. He also announced the appointment of Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, a top executive at the OhioHealth hospital system, as the Ohio Health Department’s chief medical officer. He said both officials will have his ear, but suggested McCloud, who is not a doctor, will work on more administrative matters such See DIRECTOR | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, November 6, 2020 OBITUARIES Ohio Valley Publishing TODAY IN HISTORY WADE HAMPTON LESLIE IV THURMAN — Wade Hampton Leslie IV, 57, of Thurman, Ohio passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 at his residence.

IN BRIEF Pioneering Black baby doll enters Toy Hall of Fame ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Baby Nancy, the first Black baby doll to have an Afro and other authentic features, was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame on Thursday, along with sidewalk chalk and the wooden block game Jenga. The 2020 honorees were recognized for their creativity and popularity over time. Baby Nancy was the inaugural doll for Shindana Toys, a California company launched in 1968 by Operation Bootstrap Inc., the not-for-profit Black community self-help organization that emerged in the aftermath of the Watts riots in Los Angeles. By Thanksgiving, Baby Nancy was the bestselling Black doll in Los Angeles, and before Christmas, she was selling nationwide. Shindana Toys folded amid financial problems in 1983, but Baby Nancy “still stands as a landmark doll that made commercial and cultural breakthoughs,” curator Michelle Parnett-Dwyer said in a news release.

WASHINGTON — Election officials in key battlegrounds pressed forward Thursday with presidential vote counting as Democrat Joe Biden urged patience and President Donald Trump pursued legal options with little success, insisting the processing of ballots should be stopped. The president spent Thursday at the White House, working the phones and escalating efforts to sow doubt about the outcome of the race. In a series of tweets, he pushed baseless allegations of electoral misconduct and said the Closed for the holiday GALLIPOLIS — The Bossard Memorial Library will be closed for the Veterans Day holiday, Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Trump reiterated his claims Thursday night at the White House, his first public appearance since late on Election Night. “This is a case when they are trying to steal an election, they are trying to rig an election,” he said of Democrats, whom he accused of corruption while providing no evidence. Biden, meanwhile, sought to project the appearance of a president, speaking briefly to reporters after attending a COVID-19 briefing on Thursday. He offered reassurance that the counting could be trusted and declared that “each ballot must be counted.” “I ask everyone to stay calm. The process is working,” said Biden. “It is the will of the voters. No one, not anyone else who chooses the president of the United States of America.” The different approaches unfolded as the nation waited to learn which man would collect the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the presidency. Biden’s victories in Michigan and Wisconsin put him in a commanding position, but Trump showed no sign of giving up. It could take several more days for the vote count to conclude and a clear winner emerge. With millions of ballots yet to be tabulated, Biden already had received more than 72 million votes, the most in history.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A positive first step towards another long journey. The Point Pleasant volleyball team started its quest for another state tournament berth on a very solid note Wednesday night with a 25-8, 25-16, 25-8 victory over Poca in a Class AA Region IV, Section 1 semifinal match held in Mason County. The top-seeded Lady Knights (11-9) never trailed in the opener and the finale, and were never down by more than two points against the Lady Dots during the middle set. In fact, there were five ties in Game 2 and PPHS was never down by more than a 6-4 count early on. Point Pleasant broke an 8-all tie with five consecutive points and were eventually ahead by double digits (24-14) before wrapping up the 9-point triumph. The Lady Knights jumped out to a 10-0 lead in Game 1 and claimed their largest lead of the opener with the 17-point final outcome. Poca managed to knot things up at 4-all in Game 3, but the hosts broke serve for a 9-6 lead and then received 13 consecutive service points from Addy Cottrill for an impressive 22-6 advantage. The Lady Dots answered with consecutive points to close the gap down to 22-8, but Point reeled off the final three points and cruised to another 17-point win while wrapping up the straight-game decision. The win advances Point Pleasant into the Region IV, Section 1 championship game on Thursday night as Winfield comes to PPHS at 6 p.m. Kianna Smith and Cottrill both paced the Point Pleasant service attack with 19 points apiece, followed by Katelynn Smith with 10 points See KNIGHTS | 10 Cowboys, K-State square off after 1st Big 12 loss The Associated Press Some things to watch in the Big 12 Conference on the only Saturday in November when all 10 teams are scheduled to play: Game of the week No. 14 Oklahoma State at Kansas State. This was on track to be a November matchup of teams without a Big 12 loss, until the Cowboys (4-1, 3-1 Big 12) and Wildcats (4-2, 4-1) both lost on the final day of October. The outcome of this one could still have a significant impact on who plays in the Big 12 championship game. After a 27-point loss at West Virginia, Kansas State is looking to bounce back and assure a winning record in league play. The Wildcats, already with a win over streaking No. 19 Oklahoma, play next against No. 17 Iowa State, the only other team with one Big 12 loss. The first loss of the season for the Cowboys was in overtime against Texas. After their trip to Manhattan, they will again be away from home for Bedlam against the Sooners. Oklahoma State and Kansas State both have open dates next week. Best matchup Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger against the West Virginia defense. Ehlinger leads the Big 12 in total offense at 322 yards per game and has accounted for 27 touchdowns (275 yards passing per game with 20 TDs, 47 yards rushing per game with seven TDS). The No. 22 Longhorns are the league’s highest-scoring team at 44.3 points per game. The Mountaineers defense has allowed only 12 total TDs and leads the league in total defense (256 total yards) while giving up fewer than 20 points a game. Inside the numbers West Virginia had 184 yards rushing against K-State last week, pushing its season total to 1,032 in six games. The Mountaineers had only 879 yards rushing all of last season. … Iowa State’s Breece Hall, the Big 12’s leading rusher at 150.2 yards per game, has had at least 100 yards and a touchdown in every game this season. … There have been four overtime games in the Big 12, and Texas has played in three of them. … The Big 12 has two return leaders. Baylor’s Trestan Ebner leads the FBS with a 38.6-yard average on kickoff returns, and Kansas State’s Phillip Brooks is tops with a 25.1-yard punt return average. … The road team has won six of the last eight games between TCU and Texas Tech. They play Saturday in Fort Worth, where TCU is 0-3 this season. Longshot Kansas has lost its last 15 games against No. 19 Oklahoma, by an average margin of more than 29 points with 14 points being the closest. The Sooners, who have overcome an 0-2 Big 12 start with three wins in a row, are listed as a more than fiveTD favorite for the game in Norman.

The right-hander, who turns 30 in January, was given the offer on Sunday and had until Nov. 11 to make his decision. “Why wait for the QO to expire to state the obvious,” agent Rachel Luba tweeted Wednesday. She added that Bauer “believes the QO is a ridiculous process so let’s just put it to bed.” Bauer was 5-4 with a National League-leading 1.73 ERA, striking out 100 and walking 17 in 73 innings. Acquired from Cleveland on July 31, 2019, he had a $17.5 million, one-year contract that resulted in $6,481,481 in prorated pay. He would earn a $92,593 bonus for winning the NL Cy Young Award, prorated from an original $250,000. No. 6 Cincinnati focuses on Houston CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati head coach Luke Fickell isn’t insulating his players from the national buzz surrounding the Bearcats program. He believes they are mature enough to handle it. “It’s not to say it’s the elephant in the room and we don’t talk about it,” Fickell said. “I want our guys to enjoy that stuff, just not too much.” The Bearcats’ No. 6 ranking is their highest since finishing the 2009 season ranked No. 4 under then-head coach Brian Kelly. Cincinnati (5-0, 3-0 American Athletic Conference) has an eye on becoming the first non-Power 5 team to break into the College Football Playoff. “I don’t listen to a lot of those things,” Fickell insists. “That’s trying not to be naïve. I know they see it. I know they hear it.” Fickell raised the caution flags this week for Saturday’s game against the Houston Cougars (2-2, 2-1). Last season the banged-up Cougars led 21-17 going into the fourth quarter, but the Bearcats rallied for a 38-23 win. The Cougars are dealing with some injuries again going into this week’s matchup. But Fickell won’t allow the Bearcats to let their guard down. “They were struggling a bit last year when we went down to Houston, and they gave us everything we could ask for,” he said.

Tune, however, could be without his top playmaker after Marquez Stevenson left last week’s game against Central Florida with an ankle injury. If Stevenson can’t play, junior Bryson Smith — who had three catches for 38 yards in the 44-21 loss to UCF — will take his spot. “Kind of sucks when your best player goes out after one catch,” Cougars coach Dana Holgorsen said. Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder, meanwhile, accounted for 397 total yards and nine touchdowns in wins over SMU and Memphis. After a slow start, the junior is playing at a high level. “Things are slowing down in his head,” Fickell said. “Early on, he was pressing and forcing things. He has confidence in his offensive line. That helps him to play a little bit freer.” Cincinnati has won 17 straight home games. Others things to consider ahead of Saturday’s game: The injury bug Injuries are impacting both teams.

She is quick to morph into a “Bernadette” when I go to bed without taking my night time med. She turns into a Chatty Cathy when I let her go to the doctor with me. She spills my guts when adds information I did not want the doctor to know. The Nurse is not a trained pharmacist, but she can rattle off the technical pharmaceutical terms fluently. Our second son, Keithen, holds a doctorate in pharmacy, and I heard the Ratchet ask the other day in a telephone conversation, “He was recently prescribed Hydaco-ulna-poo-xhia-pinazhoca-pine—-is that good for him?” The Nurse’s skills are amazing. I contemplated recently her mindset and expectations when I took a stroll in the yard. I recalled years ago how she vowed that she would love me “in sickness or in health.” The two of us have known each other for fortyseven years. We have been married for forty-five years. Most of that span has been lived in health. We have thrived for the most part in health. But, now it comes my time to live in bad health. I am fading. I am weak. I cannot do many of the things I used do. But, the Nurse is staying true to her vows. Sh e has lived with me as I have had health, and now she lives with me as I am having bad health. She is like that Scriptural vine clinging close to the sides of the house, “and that thus shall a man be blessed…” “A (faithful) woman is a crown to her husband…” The thing to note from all this is that couples that are married for long times should not peter out on each other. Stay faithful and true. Do not resort to bitterness. Love each other in sickness or in health. For when or the other goes out into eternity, it will not be enough time despite how much time you have had. In the meantime, my nurse is not really the Ratchet, but is Terry.

As we move forward in the aftermath of a brutal election season, it seems clear to me that followers of Jesus have now a perfect opportunity to demonstrate a heavenly quality of character in how they respond to the fallout of the voting process. If on the one hand, your candidates have won their election, is there enough of the love of Jesus in your heart and the holiness of His Spirit in your character to behave gracefully? Are you tempted to feel smug, talk big, and forget that you and I are lowly sinners without a hope in the world if we did not have Jesus? Or are you compassionate and understanding of the fears and feelings of those on the other side of the political aisle? And although you may disagree with them, do you care for them just could it be that you like Jesus cared have placed your enough for you faith in the wrong even when you thing?

He longs for the day when “… what is mortal may be swallowed up by life” (v. 4 ESV). Yet, he walks by faith, striving to please God. Paul sets his hope on Christ. And we’re called to do the same. After all, “… we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body” (v. 10 ESV). I’ve been studying this chapter for the past few weeks. And today, I want us to see what Paul says next. So, let’s look at verses 11-15. Christ controls us, “Therefore, because we have knowing the fear concluded this: that of the Lord, we one has died for all, persuade others. therefore all have But what we are died; and he died is known to God, for all, that those and I hope it is who live might known also to Isaiah no longer live for your conscience. Pauley We are not comContributing themselves but for him who for their mending ourselves columnist sake died and was to you again but raised” (ESV). giving you cause The church in Corinth to boast about us, so is being influenced by that you may be able to false teachers. And Paul answer those who boast is desperately explaining about outward appearance and not about what his own heart to them. We see the urgency in is in the heart. For if we Paul’s voice as he seeks to are beside ourselves, explain his motives and it is for God; if we are ministry to the Corinthiin our right mind, it is ans. for you. For the love of In verse 11, he says, “Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others… .” (ESV). With verse 10 in mind, Paul emphasizes the urgency of the gospel. After all, if “… we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ …” (ESV), there’s a reason to heed Paul’s warning. So, he seeks to persuade them of his ministry. In verse 12, Paul pours out his heart before the church of Corinth. Rather than boasting in his outward appearance, he shares his heart. And this is in direct contrast See HOPE | 12 GOD’S KIDS CORNER Lest we forget This Tuesday, we celebrate Veteran’s Day. Sometimes called Armistice Day, it is celebrated in many countries around the world other than just the United States. It is the day when we honor the men and women who have served in the military. We also honor those who have died or been injured for the cause of freedom. It is a time for us to say thank you for the sacrifices they have made on our behalf; it is a time to think about the freedoms we enjoy because these men and women Ann were willing to serve. And it is a time Moody to think about love - the love they Contributing showed for their country and their columnist fellow man. Many communities fly flags in honor of our veterans and country. Veteran’s Day is a holiday we should all take seriously, but it is not a time to be sad. It is a happy occasion when we thank these people for their service and remember just how important our freedoms are here in America. Not every country has those freedoms like we do. Even though many brave soldiers died in battle, we know those who put their trust in God are with Him. That is a promise from God’s Word. Job 19:26 says, “Even though my flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body, I will see God. I will see Him for myself.” And you know that promise is just not only for soldiers. It is for you and me, as well. It is for all who put their faith and trust in God. Jesus said, “Those who are considered worthy of taking part in the resurrection are like the angels. They can no longer die. They are God’s children.” (Luke 20: 35-36) I know these are often scary and worrisome times for you as children and even us as adults, especially with Covid and civil unrest now. God knows how frightened we sometimes feel, and He is with us and helping us through those moments. Don’t ever forget God loves us and wants us to be happy and feel safe. All of us are God’s children, He will never leave or forsake us, and we will one day see Him. Won’t that be a wonderful day for us all? Remember to thank all our veterans and say a prayer for them and our country this week. Let’s say a prayer together now. Dear Father, thank You for the men and women who served and are serving now in our military to protect and preserve our freedom. We honor them now. We also pray for our own health and safety and those we care about. We all know that since we have placed our faith in You, we do not have to live in fear. We will live again and be with You forever. In Your holy name we pray, Amen. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES We don’t control tomorrow The Bible is a book filled with truth. Some truths are harder than others for men to accept. One of the harder truths for us to accept is that stated succinctly in the book of James: “You don’t know what tomorrow will bring (James 4:14; ESV).” This ought to be a rather obvious sort of truth, and yet it is one that over and over again we fight against. We strive to be in control of tomorrow. We look to weather predictions. We hire people to make political predictions. We hire analysts to break down the stock market and forecasts potential business cycles. We schedule events out far in advance of the actual date and plan accordingly. And though things often go the way that they are planned, there are enough moments where things go awry so as to keep us humble. Or at least it should keep us humble. Certainly, if ever there was a year where we are reminded that we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, 2020 has been such a year. From pandemics to school closings to economic uncertainties to political uncertainties… event after event reminds us that we simply are very poor prognosticators. So have we learned humility? Or are we going to keep pretending as if we wise is to eventually do know what is succumb to arrogoing to happen gance and prideful tomorrow? sin. James full stateYet there is one ment concerning who does know the uncertainty what will happen of the future is as follows… “Come Jonathan tomorrow.

What is your life? For you though He gives us free will to act He still is able are a mist that appears to tell us with perfect for a little time and then accuracy what tomorrow vanishes. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord will bring. This is not to say that wills, we will live and do this or that.’ As it is, you God will reveal all such things to us. He leaves us boast in your arrogance. with uncertainty so that All such boasting is evil. we might trust in Him, So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails and yet there are those to do it, for him it is sin. things He has made clear will happen in their time. (James 4:13-17; ESV)” One such thing that As James points out, we are not in full control God foretold was the coming of His Son for of our lives. We may be able to have some control the salvation of the over ourselves, but there world. God predicted exactly when and how are too many outside that would happen, and variables and additional it did (cf. Genesis 22:18; actors to grant us more Isaiah 7:14, 52:13-53:12; than a limited control over what happens to us. Psalm 22; etc.). Likewise, God has foretold Ultimately, we simply the return of His Son for do not know enough to predict what will happen judgment (cf. Matthew 25:31-32; 2 Thessalotomorrow. nians 1:7-10; etc.). Yet, This does not mean though God has been that we should never clear that the judgment make plans. But we is one event that we can should plan with humilplan on with certainty, it ity. We should plan with an awareness of our own is tragically true that this is the one event that too limitations. To do other- many individuals seem to be doing very little planning for. James concludes his thoughts on planning for tomorrow with the general truth that when you know to do good, but you don’t do it, it is sin. If we know we should be humble about tomorrow, but act with pride and arrogance, it is sin. If we know that we should be trusting in God, but decide instead to act as if with are the masters of our own destiny, it is sin. If we know that we should be preparing ourselves for that one event God has promised with certainty that it will happen, but we instead spend our time doing everything but, then that too is sin. Let’s approach the future with some humility and a lot of trust in God, working to be pleasing to Him, so that no matter what tomorrow brings, we know that we are secure in God’s care.

The law “does not prohibit a public school from releasing the records of a former student who is deceased and therefore not currently ‘attending’ that school,” Kennedy wrote. The court heard arguments for and against releasing the records in June. Ohio law was meant to align with federal law, a statute the U.S. Department of Education has interpreted to mean that students’ privacy rights end if they die, as do legal interpretations in other states, Erin Rhinehart, an attorney representing the media groups, argued at the time. Trees Ohio, founder Rufus Putnam was his cousin. - His son Colonel Israel Putnam moved from Connecticut to Marietta, Ohio with his son Aaron Waldo Putnam, and in 1795 received “apple scions” from the Putnam Orchards. He settled alongside Colonel Joseph Barker, who had also begun orchards using stock from the Putnam Orchards. - According to MerriamWebster Dictionary, a scion is a living portion of a plant (such as a bud or shoot) that is detached and joined to a stock in grafting. - The Putnam’s brought more apple trees from Connecticut to the area in 1804 and eventually established a nursery in Belpre, Ohio. - The origin of apples grown in the Ohio Valley through the 1800s can be traced directly to Putnam’s original trees. - Jonathan Chapman, aka ”Johnny Appleseed,” is credited with bringing apple trees to Ohio around 1801. Although usually seen as the first and most prolific to do so, he spent his time in what I now Northern Ohio, and probably never visited the Ohio Valley. - By the 19th century, there were around 14,000 distinct varieties grown in the United States of all shapes and sizes, some with rough, sandpapery skin, others as misshapen as potatoes, and ranging from the size of a cherry to bigger than a grapefruit in an array of colors. - By contrast today there are about 90 varieties in commercial production. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Associated Press to the false teachers in Corinth who are attempting to win the Corinthians over by their outward persona. He continues in verse 13 by saying, “For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you” (ESV). You see, Paul is known among the Corinthians for appearing— well, out of his mind at times. The deep love Paul has for Christ and the Corinthians seems crazy. Yet, the apostle is humble among them. He remains sober minded for the sake of his ministry to them. Then, in verses 14 and 15, he says the love of Christ controls him. Why? Because Christ has died for His people, and Paul seeks to make this known among the Corinthians. Despite their lack of receptivity to his ministry, Paul is constrained by the love of Christ. And he refuses to give up. After all, Paul is captivated by the hope of the gospel. He has his eyes fixed on eternity. And he wants the Corinthians to experience this, too. So, now what? We see Paul’s plea to the Corinthians. We see his joy. We see the urgency of his ministry among them. But what does this have to do with us today? Well, how does our hope for a better home—a heavenly country—influence the way we conduct ourselves today? How urgent is our ministry? Do we genuinely care about those who have hard hearts when it comes to the gospel? You see, in 2 Corinthians 5, Paul encourages us to live in light of eternity. He encourages us to walk by faith, not by sight. And whether here or there, we seek to please the Lord. But we can’t forget about others. We can’t forget about the lost. Too often in our Christian lives, we become comfortable with our own salvation while forgetting about others. May the example of Paul inspire us to recognize the urgency of our call as we await our heavenly home. This is a mission fueled by hope.
