Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Meigs County 911 dispatchers are now part of a standalone agency, with the dispatchers able to send first responders from fire, EMS and law enforcement to calls as needed. For an emergency dial 9-1-1 By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS — No matter the type of emergency or where you are at in Meigs County, you can now dial 9-1-1 to have the necessary first responder sent to your location. Meigs County EMS and 911 Director Robbie Jacks explained that with the new centralized dispatch, Meigs County 911 dispatchers will handle calls for law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services. This will allow real time dispatching of all agencies needed, without having to transfer calls between the agencies or make additional calls. For example, should a call come in of a crash, the dispatcher taking the call could send law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel to the scene. Commissioner Jimmy Will thanked the voters and residents of Meigs County for making the centralized dispatch possible by passing the 911 levy. The funds from the levy helped to get the county’s 911 system modernized and where it needed to be in order to meet the needs of the county’s residents. The new standalone 911 agency employees eight full-time dispatchers and two part-time dispatchers. Jacks stated that all previous dispatch employees kept there jobs through the switchover from the two agency dispatching to the centralized agency.

Mandel, 43, planned to launch his campaign Wednesday against the backdrop of a second round of impeachment proceedings against the former Republican president. “This impeachment of President Trump is a complete sham and got my blood boiling to the Tony Dejak | AP file Josh Mandel, a Marine veteran and former state treasurer, says he will make a third run for the U.S. Senate in Ohio, taking a proTrump message in a bid for the seat being vacated by the GOP’s Rob Portman. Mandel planned to launch his campaign Wednesday against the backdrop of a second round of impeachment proceedings against the former Republican president. point where I decided to run for the United States Senate,” Mandel said in an interview. He said he believes charges against Trump are unfounded and the proceeding is unconstitutional. Mandel was the first statewide official in Ohio to back Trump in 2016 and he raised $500,000 for him in 2020, he said. His campaign will focus on common themes of economic freedom, individual liberty and the “America First” agenda. “When I go to Washington, I’m going to go there to pulverize the uni-party,” he said. “The uni-party is what I call this group of Democrats and Republicans who sound exactly the same and are more interested in getting invited to the cocktail party circuit than they are in standing up for the Constitution.” Mandel faces likely competition in a GOP primary from Jane Timken, who left her position as See SEAT | 4 For the record: Meigs County Sheriff ’s Office Staff Report Feb. 5 0232 hours — Deputies responded to Lydia Road on a domestic complaint.

Federal investigators say former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and others used the nonprofit Generation Now Inc. as a conduit for $60 million secretly provided by Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. The money was allegedly used to gain legislative approval for a $1 billion bailout of two nuclear power plants operated by a FirstEnergy subsidiary. Federal Judge Timothy Black set the hearing for Feb. 19. An agreement filed last week calls for Generation Now Inc. to plead guilty to one count of racketeering, the seizure of nearly $1.5 million from two bank accounts and a sentence of five years’ probation.

Manchin seeks reversal on Keystone By Matthew Daly Associated Press WASHINGTON — In one of his first acts as new chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin on Tuesday urged President Joe Biden to reconsider his executive order revoking a presidential permit for the long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline, siding with Republican critics who say Biden’s action will cost thousands of high-paying jobs. Manchin, of West Virginia, has yet to lead a hearing since being named chair last week, but he spoke out on the pipeline controversy that has spanned four presidencies. In a letter to Biden, Manchin said Keystone XL and other pipelines “continue to be the safest mode to transport our oil and natural gas resources, and they support thousands of high-paying, American union jobs.” His comments signal the tricky relationship the White House is likely to have with Manchin, a moderate who has urged Biden to act in a bipartisan manner on COVID-19 relief and other issues, including climate change. Manchin leads a committee that is crucial to Biden’s efforts to address climate change but has expressed skepticism about some of the actions advocates say are needed to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. Manchin, a longtime coal industry defender who once shot a copy of a climate-change bill for a campaign ad, has worked to improve relations with environmentalists. He says he supports “responsible” effort to address climate change but has urged Biden to consider the effects of his actions on energy-producing states such as West Virginia. Breaking with his party, Manchin questioned Biden’s action to rejoin the global Paris climate agreement, in which more than 100 countries have pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century. Biden rejoined the Paris agreement on his first day in office, after former President Donald Trump moved the U.S. out of the 2015 accord. OVP File Photo From a 2018 visit to Mason County, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin pays tribute to the bipartisanship of the late U.S. Senator Jon McCain and McCain’s famous “thumbs down” vote to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act. Echoing an argument used by Republicans, Manchin has said the United States puts itself at a disadvantage by pledging to curtail fossil fuels while India and China continue to burn huge amounts of coal. Similarly, Manchin said revoking the cross-border permit for Keystone XL could have a negative effect on safety, jobs and energy security, citing Canada as one of the largest and most reliable trading partners the U.S. has. The 1,700-mile (2,735-kilometer) pipeline was planned to carry roughly 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Texas Gulf Coast, passing through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. First proposed in 2008, the pipeline has become emblematic of the tensions between economic development and curbing fossil fuel emissions causing climate change. The Obama administration rejected the pipeline, but Trump revived it and was a strong supporter.

Meigs vaccine registration The Meigs County Health Department is compiling ard Trumka, who said in an interview with “Axios on HBO” that he wished Biden had not canceled Keystone XL on his first day in office. “I wish he had paired that more carefully with the thing that he did second by saying here’s where we’re creating jobs,” Trumka said, referring to Biden’s Jan. 27 executive order on climate change. Trumka, like Manchin a Biden ally, said he believes Biden knows he made a mistake in not announcing plans for job creation at the same time he rejected the Canadian pipeline. “The next time the subject came up it was done the right way,” Trumka said, noting White House promises to create jobs in mine reclamation, fixing “leaks and seeps” in old mines and cleaning up old industrial sites. White House spokesman Vedant Patel said Biden has proposed “transformative investments in infrastructure that will not only create millions of good union jobs but also help tackle the climate crisis.” Manchin said his views on the pipeline are informed by accidents in his state and elsewhere in which crude oil carried by truck and rail has spilled. He cited an analysis by the U.S. Transportation Department showing that spills or other incidents occurred about once per 50 million gallons of crude oil shipped by rail and 55 million gallons shipped by truck, compared with once every 720 million gallons shipped by pipeline. “I’ve had a train blow up in my state. I know that product is still coming to the United States,” Manchin told reporters last month. “I think it’s safer to come by pipe than it is by road or rail. So we’ll have those discussions.” Manchin’s letter came as 14 Republican attorneys general sent a letter telling Biden his decision to reject Keystone XL “will result in devastating damage to many of our states and local communities. Even those states outside the path of the Keystone XL pipeline — indeed all Americans — will suffer serious, detrimental consequences,” the GOP officials said. a list of Meigs County residents who wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Understanding the risks of heart disease Heart disease, also referred to as cardiovascular disease, is one of the leading causes of death in Americans according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). While the risk of heart disease increases with age, you’re never too young to worry about having heart trouble. Many factors determine who is most at risk. Here are the risk factors you should know: High blood pressure Patients with high blood pressure are more at risk of heart disease. High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) can cause damage to your arteries, and it can do so stealthily without any symptoms. Your arteries are vital to the function of your heart, and when arteries are damaged, they can cause the following diseases of the heart: · Coronary artery disease causes arteries to narrow and limit the blood supply to your heart. · Enlarged and thickening of the left ventricle happens when your heart must work harder to pump blood throughout your body. · Heart failure happens when blood pressure is high enough to cause the heart muscle to strain and weaken.

People will now get appointments for their second shots when they get their first. New Hampshire is one of several local jurisdictions that had signed up to use the CDC’s Vaccine Administration Management System, or VAMS. At the Las Vegas Convention Center in Nevada, another type of scheduling problem popped up last week when the site opened as a clinic dedicated only to second doses. When appointments were made available online, people eager for their first doses snapped up slots. “We had enough vaccine — we just need to control the crowd somehow,” said JoAnn Rupiper of the Southern Nevada Health District. People who scheduled a first dose at the site had their appointments canceled, Rupiper said. To ensure eligible people who had trouble scoring appointments online get their second shots, the convention center is allowing walk-ins. Despite the scheduling confusion, health officials and providers say their main challenge remains the limited supplies and the variability in how many doses are distributed from week to week. Even with the increase in shipments announced by President Joe Biden’s administration, local officials and providers say they do not have enough doses to meet demand. The shortage is one reason why Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, has noted the potential value of the one-shot vaccine by Johnson & Johnson, which recently filed for emergency use authorization. That shot is also less expensive to produce and easier to ship. Pedroza said the cancellations last week in California’s Napa County happened after a spike in shipments a few weeks ago led the county to think it would continue getting at least as many doses. But the spike turned out to be a onetime windfall, Pedroza said. In Seattle, UW Medicine temporarily stopped taking new appointments in late January due to limited supplies, combined with the need to give others their second doses. Charlie Riedel | AP file A Customs and Border Control agent patrols March 2, 2019, on the U.S. side of a razor-wirecovered wall along the Mexico border east of Nogales, Ariz. President Joe Biden rushed to send the most ambitious overhaul of the nation’s immigration system in a generation to Congress and signed nine executive actions to wipe out some of his predecessor’s toughest measures to fortify the U.S.-Mexico border. But a federal court in Texas suspended his 100-day moratorium on deportations. In Biden’s early days, signs of Trump-era problems at border By Nomaan Merchant Associated Press HOUSTON — The day after she gave birth in a Texas border hospital, Nailet and her newborn son were taken by federal agents to a holding facility that immigrants often refer to as the “icebox.” Inside, large cells were packed with women and their young children. Nailet and her son were housed with 15 other women and given a mat to sleep on, with little space to distance despite the coronavirus pandemic, she said. The lights stayed on round the clock. Children constantly sneezed and coughed. Nailet, who kept her newborn warm with a quilt she got at the hospital, told The Associated Press that Border Patrol agents wouldn’t tell her when they would be released. She and her son were detained for six days in a Border Patrol station. That’s twice as long as federal rules generally allow. “I had to constantly insist that they bring me wipes and diapers,” said Nailet, who left Cuba last year and asked that her last name be withheld for fear of retribution if she’s forced to return. Larger numbers of immigrant families have been crossing the U.S.Mexico border in the first weeks of President Joe Biden’s administration. Warning signs are emerging of the border crises that marked former President Donald Trump’s term: Hundreds of newly released immigrants are getting dropped off with nonprofit groups, sometimes unexpectedly, and accounts like Nailet’s of prolonged detention in short-term facilities are growing. Measures to control the virus have sharply cut space in holding facilities that got overwhelmed during a surge of arrivals in 2018 and 2019, when reports emerged of families packed into cells and unaccompanied children having to care for each other. Most of the Border Patrol’s stations aren’t designed to serve children and families or hold people long term. To deal with the new influx, the agency on Tuesday reopened a large tent facility in South Texas to house immigrant families and children. In a statement last week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said some of its facilities had reached “maximum safe holding capacity” and cited several challenges: COVID19 protocols, changes in Mexican law and limited space to hold immigrants. “We will continue to use all current authorities to avoid keeping individuals in a congregate setting for any length of time,” said the agency, which declined an interview request. Meanwhile, long-term holding facilities for children who cross the border alone — some sent by parents forced to wait in Mexico — are 80% full. U.S. Health and Human Services, which runs those centers, will reopen a surge facility at a former camp for oil field workers in Carrizo Springs, Texas, as early as Monday. It can accommodate about 700 teenagers. Surge facilities have an estimated cost of $775 per child per day, and Democrats sharply criticized them during the Trump years. There’s no clear driving factor for the increase in families and children crossing. Some experts and advocates believe more are trying to cross illegally now that Biden is president, believing his administration will be more permissive than Trump’s. Many have waited for a year or longer under Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” program that forces asylum-seekers to stay south of the border while a judge considers their case. The White House isn’t adding people to the program but hasn’t said how it will resolve pending cases. It’s also declined to expel unaccompanied children under a pandemic-related public health order issued by Trump. Others cite the fallout of natural disasters in Central America and turmoil in countries like Haiti. The U.S. also has stopped sending back some immigrant families to parts of Mexico, particularly areas of Tamaulipas state across from South Texas. The change in practice appears to be uneven, with immigrants being expelled in other places and no clear explanation for the differences. �COMICS 6 Thursday, February 11, 2021 BLONDIE Ohio Valley Publishing By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO ���� Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner � � � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � Hank Ketcham’s � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

Collins, a sophomore from Columbus, Ohio, rolled games of 223, 217 and 200 for a total of 640 pins and average of 213.3. His opening game also served as Rio’s top single-game performance. Collins’ effort was good enough for second place among the 62 individuals who competed, finishing just eight pins behind champion Jonathan Kleer of Robert Morris University. The RedStorm also got a solid outing in the junior varsity division from sophomore Nathan Burns (Lynchburg, OH), who finished in first place — and in eighth place overall — with 599 pins toppled and a 199.7 average. Rio Grande finished third as a team in the seven-school varsity division with 4,548 pins. The event featured three rounds of team play and 10 baker rounds. Others representing the RedStorm in the varsity competition included senior Chris Somerville (Gallipolis, OH), who was 31st with 531 pins and an average of 177; freshman Daniel Gross (Cincinnati, OH), who placed 32nd with 530 pins and a 176.7 average; senior Isaiah Pickell (Logan, OH), who was 34th after knocking down 510 pins for an average of 170; freshman Jalin Ragland (Columbus, OH), who toppled 349 pins in two games for an average of 174.5; and senior Zachary Morris (Vinton, OH), who had a 132 in his only game.

Lady Marauders rally past Nelsonville-York Mallory Hawley joins MHS 1,000-point club By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A comeback win, and some history made in the process. The Meigs girls basketball team rallied from a nine-point deficit for a 52-49 victory over Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division guest NelsonvilleYork on Tuesday at Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, with MHS junior Mallory Hawley surpassing the 1,000-point mark for her career with 56 seconds left in regulation. Hawley — the sixth Lady Marauder to reach quadruple digits, joining Amber Vining, Sammy Pierce, Catie Wolfe, Morgan Howard and Kassidy Betzing — needed 31 points at the start of the evening, and finished with a game-high 32. “I’ve always wanted this since my freshman year,” Hawley said. “To get it as a junior, that’s really nice. My team, they do it all for me, they help out with everything. It was great to get the win and get my 1,000th.” Hawley’s 1,000th career point came at the free throw line with 56 seconds left, giving Meigs (9-10, 5-7 TVC Ohio) a 51-47 lead.

Meigs led just twice in the first half, 2-0 at the start of the game, and 17-16 3:10 into the second period. NYHS was ahead 25-20 at halftime and led by a game-high nine points after an 11-to7 run over the first 5:00 of the second half. The Lady Marauders trimmed their deficit to 41-35 by the end of the third, and eventually took the lead for good, at 47-45, on a Rylee Lisle triple off an assist from Hawley with 2:29 left in regulation. For the game, Meigs outrebounded NYHS 41-to-25, including 18-to5 on the offensive end. The Maroon and Gold committed 11 turnovers, three fewer than the Lady Buckeyes. The hosts combined for eight assists, six steals and three blocked shots, while the Orange and Brown collected 11 assists, eight rejections and four steals. Meigs shot 14-of-54 (27.8 percent) from the field, including 4-of-17 (23.5 percent) from deep, while NYHS made 20-of50 (40 percent) field goal attempts, including 7-of-17 (41.2 percent) three-point tries. At the foul line, MHS was 20-of27 (74.1 percent) and Nelsonville-York made 2-of-6 (33.3 percent).

The Blue and White also went 7-of-14 at the Ohio Valley Publishing NFL carousel will spin soon By Barry Wilner Associated Press The Matthew StaffordJared Goff trade not only has whet fans’ appetites for big deals, it’s caused a social media frenzy about which quarterbacks are headed elsewhere. That could happen with the likes of Carson Wentz, Jimmy Garoppolo, Deshaun Watson and Cam Newton. And on a slightly less publicized level with Teddy Bridgewater, Jameis Winston, Sam Darnold and Mitchell Trubisky. But before anyone gets the idea that half of the NFL’s starting signal-callers from 2020 will be employed by new teams in 2021, well, know that carousel is not spinning out of control. Why not? Money. More specifically, contract dollars. Dead money. Salarycap repercussions. The COVID-19 pandemic not only reduced revenues for the NFL across the board, it also has forced a lower salary cap for 2021. That figure is undetermined, though it won’t be less than $175 million and probably Basketball From page 7 rebounds, picked up three assists, and led the team’s defense with two steals and two blocks.

So any cap hits for trades involving QBs with megacontracts will be built as much on finances as football skills. Sure, plenty of teams with questionable quarterbacking would love to add a Watson or Wentz — and even inquire about the availability of the likes of David Carr or Matt Ryan. But the price tag is a paramount consideration. There are also the tricky contract dynamics for Dak Prescott and Ben Roethlisberger. Prescott played under the franchise tag cost of $31.4 million but was injured in the Cowboys’ fifth game. Dallas is adamant about keeping Prescott, preferably with a long-term deal. “One of the things that we’re going to have to really see where we are, and it will affect everybody, all 32 (NFL teams), and it will affect our team,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said, ” is what the consequences of the virus have had on our cap situation going forward, and where is that salary cap going to be and what kind of cap are we going to manage into. So all those things will play a role into players that we keep that are under contract, where we can sign — obviously Dak being at the top of that list — and then going from there.” Roethlisberger has indicated a willingness to redo his contract with Pittsburgh for what likely will be his final season. He’s set for a cap hit of $41 million, and that won’t happen. There probably are fewer teams with long-term set signal-callers than those in flux. For sure, the Patriots, Jets, Texans, Colts and Steelers in the AFC have uncertainty. Philadelphia, Washington, Chicago, New Orleans, Carolina and San Francisco in the NFC could be making significant changes. Plus, Urban Meyer is sold on Trevor Lawrence as the first overall draft pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars. There are a handful of quarterbacks in this draft who also could wind up as starters next season. “Who we pick at that quarterback spot, that’s going to be one of the most important decisions I’ve made in my lifetime, along with the partnership of our owner and general manager,” Meyer said. “I see some elite quarterbacks out there right now.” The free agent market doesn’t have those, unless Prescott lands there. The strength in free agency is on defense, from the line to the secondary. Indeed, two of the keys to Tampa Bay’s championship, linebackers Shaq Barrett and Lavonte David, will be available if the Bucs don’t re-up them before next month. Bucs coach Bruce Arians expects them back, as well as receiver Chris Godwin and the three additions Tom Brady recruited: Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette. “I’m very, very confident,” Arians said. “I have all the trust in the world in (GM) Jason (Licht) and what he would do. These guys, they have a bond. There will be dollars involved. But I think that this group is so, so close that sometimes dollars don’t matter. But we’re going to do everything we can to get the dollars right, too, because they earned it.” Mahr added five points, while Delana Wright chipped in with four points and 10 rebounds. Lisle contributed three points and three assists to the winning cause, while Hannah Durst came up with one marker. Airah Lavy and Alivia Speelman led the guests with 19 and 16 points respectively, with Speel- man connecting on four trifectas, while earning team-highs of six rebounds and three assists. Cayleigh Dupler and Brooklyn Richards both scored five points for the guests, while Ashleigh Cantrell and Kaina Hernandez tallied two apiece. Speelman led the Lady Buckeye defense with two steals and two blocks. This gives Meigs the season sweep Nelsonville-York, as the Lady Marauders won 42-32 on Dec. 17 in Athens County.

Philadelphia received an estimated 32 billion pounds of snow. AIR QUALITY HOUSTON — The day after she gave birth in a Texas border hospital, Nailet and her newborn son were taken by federal agents to a holding facility that immigrants often refer to as the “icebox.” Inside, large cells were packed with women and their young children. Nailet and her son were housed with 15 other women and given a mat to sleep on, with little space to distance despite the coronavirus pandemic, she said. The lights stayed on round the clock. Children constantly sneezed and coughed. Nailet, who kept her newborn warm with a quilt she got at the hospital, told The Associated Press that Border Patrol agents wouldn’t tell her when they would be released. She and her son were detained for six days in a Border Patrol station. That’s twice as long as federal rules generally allow. “I had to constantly insist that they bring me wipes and diapers,” said Nailet, who left Cuba last year and asked that her last name be withheld for fear of retribution if she’s forced to return. Larger numbers of immigrant families have been crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in the first weeks of President Joe Biden’s administration. Warning signs are emerging of the border crises that marked former President Donald Trump’s term: Hundreds of newly released immigrants are getting dropped off with nonprofit groups, sometimes unexpectedly, and accounts like Nailet’s of prolonged detention in short-term facilities are growing. Measures to control the virus have sharply cut space in holding facilities that got overwhelmed during a surge of arrivals in 2018 and 2019, when reports emerged of families packed into cells and unaccompanied children having to care for each other.
