Discoveries in Archaeology and other sciences continue to support the historicity of the Bible. Dr. Steven Collins said, “The destruction of Sodom is quite clear in Genesis Chapter 19. Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, 25 and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. Genesis 19:24-25 NASB The discovery of the ancient city of Sodom by Dr. Collins and his team is now called the dig at “Tall el-Hammam.”  Dr. Collins and Dr. Gary Byers share the importance of these discoveries, and they explain how both the old and new testaments point to Jesus, the Messiah. .”It is hard for us to talk about God the Father because we cannot wrap our minds around Him. Jesus of Nazareth is the projection of God in the flesh, God who is with us. Jesus says if you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” Larissa appeals to our listeners to take advantage of the classes offered by Trinity Southwest University and the Museum of Archaeology on the campus.

Dr. Collins is the Director of the Archeology and Biblical History Ph.D. Program, Veritas International University School of Archeology, and he is the Chief Archaeologist, Tall el-Hammam Excavation Project, Jordan – The site of the historic Sodom in the Jordan Valley. He serves as an Acting Research Professor for Trinity Southwest University. Dr. Byers is the Dean of the College of Archaeology &amp; Biblical History for Trinity Southwest University, Assistant Director Tall el-Hammam Excavation and Shiloh Excavation, Israel.

In December 2018, the Board of Lucas County Commissioners was approached by keystakeholders in the County’s 911 system to study the feasibility of the merging and consolidationof 911 services in Lucas County with the goal of creating a safer and more effective and efficientcountywide system. The Commissioners were perceived to be the appropriate governmentalagency to conduct this analysis due to the following:1. The County Commissioners are identified as the “Owners” of the 911 system by the 911Implementation Plan for Lucas County;2. The County Commissioners administer countywide 911 funds;3. The County Commissioners maintain the infrastructure of the 911 system; and4. The County Commissioners do not operate a public safety answering point (PSAP),providing some level of objectivity.Consolidation of 911 services has become common across the United States due to the blurring ofjurisdictional lines caused by expanded 911 calls for service from cellular phones and internetconnected devices; greater demands and training requirements for call takers and public safetydispatchers; and the increasing complexity and costs of the technology required to operate PSAPs.Additionally, in recent years the State of Ohio has pushed for consolidation through the enactmentof legislation that limits the number of PSAPs permitted to operate in a countyand the commissioning of a report studying and providing guidance for jurisdictions on consolidation.911 consolidation has been discussed in Lucas County for years. Lucas County is well positionedfor consolidation due to shared Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and call handling systems acrossthe County’s PSAPs and a robust countywide interoperable communications system utilized by allpublic safety agencies.In conducting this analysis, the Commissioners’ Office has sought to facilitate a collaborative andtransparent process to collect information about the current state of the County’s 911 system,research industry best practices, garner input from all stakeholders and propose solutions. Theprocess has been iterative as information gathered is documented, challenged, and updated infrequently circulated draft reports. This document represents the latest draft and seeks to recordthe findings of this process.
