IN BRIEF

‘Real Housewives’ star
pleads not guilty to fraud
NEW YORK (AP) — A Utah woman with a
star role in “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake
City” reality show pleaded not guilty Friday to
charges accusing her of ripping off hundreds of
people in a nationwide telemarketing scheme.
A federal judge in New York City also imposed
tighter bail conditions for Jennifer Shah during a virtual hearing after a prosecutor suggested she was still hiding illicit proceeds from
the alleged fraud and is a ﬂight risk. Agents
searching her home found debit cards from the
account of a shell company formed as part of
the scheme, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Kiersten Fletcher.
“She’s not demonstrated a willingness to disclose her assets,” Fletcher said.

Planned Parenthood sues over
Ohio telemedicine abortion ban
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Planned
Parenthood has sued to block an Ohio
law banning the use of telemedicine
for medication abortions as unconstitutional, adding to a lengthening list
of attempted restrictions on the procedure that are now tied up in court.
With the law set to take effect April
12, the organization asked for immediate relief from the Hamilton County
Common Pleas Court in a lawsuit
ﬁled late Thursday against the Ohio
Department of Health, the state Medical Board and prosecutors in the state’s
three largest counties.
The lawsuit marks the latest in a
string of court challenges to additional
abortion restrictions attempted by the
Republicans who lead both chambers
of the state Legislature.
Courts have blocked bans on dilation
and evacuation, or D&amp;E abortions; on
abortions in cases where a fetal Down

syndrome diagnosis is a factor; and
on all abortions after detection of the
ﬁrst fetal heartbeat, which can occur
as early as six weeks into pregnancy
before many women know they are
pregnant.
A group of clinics and the ACLU of
Ohio asked a judge March 9 to block
a law that would require that fetal
remains from surgical abortions be
cremated or buried, arguing a lack of
rules makes complying “impossible.”
That law is set to take effect Tuesday.
Republican Gov. Mike DeWine
signed the telemedicine abortion ban
in January. It would prohibit administration of mifepristone to medically
induce an abortion via a telehealth
appointment. Doctors who violated the
law would face a fourth-degree felony
charge on the ﬁrst offense and a thirddegree felony charge for subsequent
violations.

Fully vaccinated people can travel safely again, CDC says
NEW YORK (AP) —
Add travel to the activities vaccinated Americans
can safely enjoy again,
according to new U.S.
guidance issued Friday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidance
to say fully vaccinated
people can travel within
the U.S. without getting
tested for the coronavirus
or going into quarantine
afterward.
Still, CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky urged
caution and said she
would “advocate against
general travel overall”
given the rising number
of infections.
“If you are vaccinated,
it is lower risk,” she said.
According to the CDC,
more than 100 million
people in the U.S. — or
about 30% of the popula-

tion — have received
at least one dose of a
COVID-19 vaccine. A
person is considered fully
vaccinated two weeks
after receiving the last
required dose.
The agency has said
it would update its guidance on allowed activities
for vaccinated people as
more people get the shots
and evidence mounts
about the protection they
provide.
Outside a San Francisco convention center,
Kara Roache, a consultant
with a tech company,
welcomed the news after
getting her second Pﬁzer
shot.
“I’m thrilled that this
summer there might be
opportunities for us to go
somewhere,” she said.
Roache said she normally travels overseas for

leisure at least twice a
year. Since the pandemic
started, she’s only traveled to Utah and Texas
for work.
“I’ll still be cautious.
I’m not looking to go on
a cruise. I’m not looking
to be in mass crowds
and I’ll probably not go
overseas,” she said. “But
absolutely, if it’s open and
the CDC says we can do
it, I’m looking forward to
going somewhere in the
states.”
For people who haven’t
been fully vaccinated, the
CDC is sticking to its
recommendation to avoid
unnecessary travel. If
they do travel, the agency
says to get tested one to
three days before the trip,
and three to ﬁve days
after. People should also
stay home and quarantine
for seven days after trav-

into the U.S., vaccinated
people should still get a
negative COVID-19 test
before boarding a ﬂight,
and be tested three to ﬁve
days after arrival. They
do not need to quarantine. The agency noted
the potential introduction
of virus variants and differences in vaccine coverage around the world for
the cautious guidance on
overseas travel.
Already, air travel in
the United States has
been picking back up.
Although trafﬁc remains
down by nearly half from
a year ago, more than 1
million travelers daily
have been going through
U.S. airports in recent
weeks.
Airlines do not require
COVID-19 tests or proof
of vaccination for travel in
the U.S.

Like This.” After the duet, coach Blake
Shelton selected Christian to move to
the next round.
Christian said there are two more
episodes of The Battles before moving
to round three, “The Knockouts.” At
this time, it is unknown which episode
of “The Knockouts” with Christian’s
round will be aired.
Christian said the episodes for “The
Battles” and “The Knockouts” were
taped in January and February.
He cannot tell the public any of the
results from the competition until they
air on television.
“It’s really hard to not tell [people],
but at the same time, you’re so busy
working on the show,” Christian said.
Of the experience, Christian
described it as “crazy” and a “dream
come true.”
“As an artist, you get out there and
start seeing it all and doing it all,”
Christian said of going to Los Angeles.
“It’s kind of unreal … like ‘wow, I’m
actually here.’”
During his blind audition, Christian
chose Shelton as his coach.
“It is absolutely a dream to work
with an artist that has all the accomplishments that [Shelton] does under
his belt,” Christian said. “He’s super
honest. He’ll tell you if something is
not working and he will help you ﬁgure
it out. He’s very artist oriented and he
understands it.”
Christian said it has been an honor
to represent Gallia County during this
experience.
“Going out there and being able to
represent [people in Gallia County]
and my hometown, that was really
humbling,” Christian said. “I want
people to know even if you grow up in
a small town, you can still make it. You
can still have dreams. You can still be
on a big stage like that and it doesn’t
matter where you come from. If you
want something bad enough, it’s possible.”
One day in the future, Christian said
he wants to invest and give back to
the community to help people achieve
their dreams. He would like to work
with students in music classes one day.

el, even if their COVID19 test is negative, the
agency says.
According to data
through Thursday from
Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. is averaging
66,000 daily new cases
this past week, up from
55,000 two weeks ago.
The new guidance says:
— Fully vaccinated
people can travel within
the U.S., without getting
tested for the coronavirus
or quarantining. People
should still wear a mask,
socially distance and
avoid crowds, the agency
says.
— For international
travel, the agency says
vaccinated people do not
need to get a COVID-19
test before leaving, unless
the destination country
requires it.
— For travelers coming

Connor Christian, pictured here with his parents
Randy and Tina, will reappear on the show
in a couple weeks during the third round of
competition.

“I just want to inspire kids and
people in general,” Christian said.
“Growing up in a small town like that,
sometimes it’s hard. I’ve gotten that
before. Sometimes if you have a big
dream, people might tell you ‘no, you
have to do this or that.’ But if you have
a dream for something, just go after
it.”
Christian said dreams should not be
something kept to yourself. He believes
that sharing one’s success is how the
community grows.
“I want people in the community to
keep supporting each other and lifting
each other up and I think that’s the
way we’re going to become better as
people and a community,” Christian
said.
Christian is scheduled to return
home to Gallia County this summer to
perform a few shows in the area. He is
set to play on Saturday, July 3 at the
River Recreation Festival in Gallipolis.
Christian said he will also be performing at the Gallia County Fair on Friday,
August 6. Christian also hopes to perform during the Big Bend Blues Bash
in Pomeroy in August.
“My journey on ‘The Voice’ is a
byproduct of everyone that has supported me from Gallipolis,” Christian said.

Man rams car into 2 Capitol police; 1 officer, driver killed

By Michael Balsamo,
Nomaan Merchant
and Colleen Long
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A
Capitol Police ofﬁcer was
killed Friday after a man
rammed a car into two
ofﬁcers at a barricade outside the U.S. Capitol and
then emerged wielding a
knife. It was the second
line-of-duty death this
year for a department still
struggling to heal from
the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Video shows the driver
of the crashed car emerging with a knife in his
hand and starting to run
at the pair of ofﬁcers,
Capitol Police Acting
Chief Yogananda Pittman
told reporters. Authorities shot the suspect, who
died at a hospital.
Two law enforcement
ofﬁcials told The Associated Press that the
suspect stabbed one of
the ofﬁcers. The ofﬁcials
spoke to AP were not
authorized to publicly
discuss the pending investigation and spoke on
condition of anonymity.
“I just ask that the public continue to keep U.S.
Capitol Police and their

families in your prayers,”
Pittman said. “This has
been an extremely difﬁcult time for U.S. Capitol
Police after the events of
Jan. 6 and now the events
that have occurred here
today.”
Police identiﬁed the
slain ofﬁcer as William
“Billy” Evans, an 18-year
veteran who was a member of the department’s
ﬁrst responders unit.
Authorities said that
there wasn’t an ongoing
threat and that the attack
did not appear to be related to terrorism, though
the Capitol was put on
lockdown as a precaution.
There was also no immediate connection apparent
between Friday’s crash
and the Jan. 6 riot.
Investigators were digging into the suspect’s
background and examining whether he had any
mental health history
as they tried to discern
a motive. They were
working to obtain warrants to access his online
accounts.
The crash and shooting happened at a security checkpoint near the
Capitol typically used
by senators and staff

U.S. Capitol Police officers stand near a car that crashed into a barrier on Capitol Hill in Washington
on Friday. The car also struck and killed a Capitol police officer. The driver emerged with a knife in
his hand and stabbed another officer, then was shot and later died at a hospital, Capitol police said.

on weekdays, though
most are away from the
building during the current recess. The attack
occurred about 100 yards
(91 meters) from the
entrance of the building
on the Senate side of the
Capitol. One witness, the
Rev. Patrick Mahoney,
said he was ﬁnishing
a Good Friday service
nearby when he suddenly
heard three shots ring
out.

It comes as the Washington region remains on
edge nearly three months
after a mob of armed
insurrectionists loyal to
former President Donald
Trump stormed the Capitol as Congress was voting to certify Joe Biden’s
presidential win.
Five people died in
the Jan. 6 riot, including Capitol Police ofﬁcer
Brian Sicknick, who was
among a badly outnum-

bered force trying to ﬁght
off insurrectionists seeking to overturn the election. Authorities installed
a tall perimeter fence
around the Capitol and
for months restricted trafﬁc along the roads closest
to the building, but they
had begun pulling back
some of the emergency
measures in recent weeks.
Fencing that prevented
vehicular trafﬁc near
that area was recently

removed.
Pittman said the suspect did not appear to
have been on the police’s
radar. But the attack
underscores that the
building and campus —
and the ofﬁcers charged
with protecting them —
remain potential targets
for violence.
Evans is the seventh
Capitol Police member
to die in the line of duty
in the department’s history. Two ofﬁcers, one
from Capitol Police and
another from Washington’s Metropolitan Police
Department, died by
suicide following the Jan.
6 attack.
The suspect had been
taken to the hospital in
critical condition. One
of the ofﬁcers who was
injured was taken by
police car to the hospital;
the other was transported
by emergency medical
crews.
The U.S. Capitol
complex was placed on
lockdown after the shooting, and staffers were
told they could not enter
or exit buildings. Video
showed National Guard
troops mobilizing near
the area of the crash.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) —
The Dutch government said Friday it is
temporarily halting AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccinations for people under

60 following reports of very small number of people suffering unusual blood
clots after receiving the shot.
The Dutch decision comes three
days after authorities in Germany also
stopped using the AstraZeneca’s vaccine in the under-60s, citing fresh concerns over unusual blood clots reported
in a tiny number of those who received
the shots.
Earlier Friday, a Dutch organization
that monitors vaccine side effects said it
had received ﬁve reports of blood clots
with low blood plate counts following
vaccinations. All the cases occurred
between seven and 10 days after the vaccinations and all the people affected were
women aged between 25 and 65 years.

RedStorm opens
RSC play with
sweep of Carlow
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — One game ﬁnished
2-1/2 innings early, while the other took three
extra frames.
But when the dust settled on the University of
Rio Grande’s doubleheader with visiting Carlow
University, the RedStorm had themselves a sweep
in their ﬁrst River States Conference games of the
season.
Head coach Chris Hammond’s squad throttled
the Celtics, 19-2, in Thursday afternoon’s mercy
rule-shortened opener before outlasting their
guests, 1-0, in a 10-inning nightcap at frigid Rio
Softball Park.
Rio Grande ﬁnished the day at 17-10 overall and
2-0 in league play.
Carlow fell to 2-8-1 overall and 0-2 in RSC
action.
Game one saw the RedStorm bat around in each
of the ﬁrst three innings, scoring ﬁve times in the
ﬁrst and third with a seven-run second sandwiched
in between for a 17-0 lead.
Rio tacked on two more markers in the fourth
inning, while Carlow got its two runs in the ﬁfth.
Six errors by the Celtics led to nine of the 19
RedStorm runs being unearned.
Freshman Caitlyn Brisker (Oak Hill, OH) ﬁnished 2-for-2 with a triple and three runs batted in,
while junior Zoe Doll had two hits of her own —
including a double — and two RBI.
Junior Shelby Schmitt (Fairﬁeld, OH) and sophomore Emily Crossen (Ashland, OH) both had two
hits and a run batted in, while freshman Cierra
Clark (Plain City, OH) ﬁnished 2-for-2.
The offensive onslaught also included three
RBI from freshman Lexi Carnahan (Felicity, OH),
while senior Morgan Santos (Dayton, OH) tripled
and drove in two runs, sophomore Cierra Roberts
(Bidwell, OH) had two RBI and sophomore Chase
Arndt (Clyde, OH) had a double.
Senior Raelynn Hastings (Commercial Point,
OH) picked up her ninth win in 10 decisions,
allowing one hit and striking out two over three
scoreless innings.
Morgan Pierce had a two-run single for Carlow,
while Annamarie Osiecki took the loss after allowing 10 hits and 12 runs — four earned — over two
innings.
The back end of the doubleheader was a pitcher’s duel between Carlow’s Clara Niglio and Rio

“We may never see

coach Fran McCaffery
said.
Sure, he had the big
numbers and helped the
Hawkeyes spend nearly
the entire season in the
top 10 nationally. But
Garza ﬁgures the daily
ritual of resetting his
mind while focusing on
something as simple as
his breathing led to all
of that — particularly
in a season altered by
the COVID-19 pandemic.
“You had to be in
your house quarantined, going to the
gym, going home,”
Garza said. “There’s no
distraction. If you play
a bad game, that’s all
you’re thinking about.
So you need to be in a
healthy mental space
or you would just let it
eat at you – especially
a person like me who
thinks as much as I do.
“I needed it to be a
daily thing because I
faced this anxiety every
single day. It deﬁnitely
became something that
helped me out a lot
and contributed to my
being able to be there

and be in the moment
every single game and
every single day.”
Garza was second to
Dayton’s Obi Toppin
for last year’s award. It
was during that season
that he began gameday
meditation at the suggestion of his father, a
former player at Idaho.
As Frank Garza put
it: “It’s worth taking the
mind to the gym.”
“Every player deals
with that performance
anxiety and overthinking, so he was not
immune to it,” the elder
Garza said. “But what
happened as the stakes
got higher, and the
performance requirement was higher, the
pressure becomes at
the same level. And if
you’re not dealing with
it, that will consume
you. That will eat you
alive.”
As a senior, Garza
moved to daily meditation, typically 20 to 25
minutes via Zoom with
his father and Frank’s
business partner,
GuruGanesha Khalsa.
Pregame sessions sometimes included some
teammates, and Luka
also used the Calm
meditation-and-sleep
phone app.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Saturday April 3,
the 93rd day of 2021. There are
272 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On April 3, 1968, civil rights
leader Martin Luther King Jr.
delivered what turned out to be
his ﬁnal speech, telling a rally
of striking sanitation workers
in Memphis, Tennessee, that
“I’ve been to the mountaintop”
and “seen the Promised Land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know tonight
that we, as a people, will get to
the Promised Land!” (About 20
hours later, King was felled by
an assassin’s bullet at the Lorraine Motel.)
On this date
In 1860, the legendary Pony
Express began carrying mail
between St. Joseph, Missouri,
and Sacramento, California.
(The delivery system lasted
only 18 months before giving
way to the transcontinental
telegraph.)
In 1865, Union forces occupied the Confederate capital
of Richmond, Virginia.
In 1882, outlaw Jesse James
was shot to death in St.
Joseph, Missouri, by Robert

Ford, a member of James’
gang.
In 1936, Bruno Hauptmann
was electrocuted in Trenton,
New Jersey, for the kidnapmurder of Charles Lindbergh
Jr.
In 1942, during World War
II, Japanese forces began
their ﬁnal assault on Bataan
against American and Filipino
troops who surrendered six
days later; the capitulation
was followed by the notorious
Bataan Death March.
In 1944, the U.S. Supreme
Court, in Smith v. Allwright,
struck down a Democratic
Party of Texas rule that

‘Spring chicks’ arrive in time for Easter
By Mindy Kearns
Special to OVP

NEW HAVEN, W.Va.
— Easter signiﬁes new
life, and two classes at
New Haven Elementary
School were able to view
new life through a special
project just in time for
the holiday.
Students in Shayla
Blackshire’s fourth grade
and Courtney Smith’s
preschool classes recently
incubated chicken and
duck eggs, respectively.
The preschool class,
which was also assisted
by Aide Donna Scaggs,
started incubating a
clutch of Pekin duck eggs
on March 8. The eggs
were donated by Clifton
Long.
During the month, the
youngsters learned about
which animals lay eggs,
the life cycle of a duck,
and how to make a nest.
A child-sized nest provided a means of allowing the children to try
one out for themselves,
according to Smith.
The children “candled”
the eggs several times
to let them see inside
and observe the growth
process. Once the eggs
hatch, they will return
to Braxton County. Each
child will receive a rubber
duck and certiﬁcate of
adoption to commemorate the process.
Blackshire’s class has
been learning about life
cycles since October
when they began their
“Trout in the Classroom”
project. In March, however, they began studying
the life cycle of chicks.
The fourth graders
learned about the poultry industry and the
many different breeds of
chickens. They were also

told of how “backyard”
chickens are becoming
more and more prevalent
as families are producing their own eggs, said
Blackshire.
The older students
also used a light to
“candle” the eggs to test
for viability during the
21-day incubation period.
The children looked for
veins and movement of
the embryos.
Blackshire said when
the eggs began to hatch,
the students noticed the
chicks were not all yellow
as many people believe.
They also observed the
chicks’ “egg teeth” that
allow them to “break
out” of the shell. These
teeth usually fall off
within 24 hours.
At the end of the
project on Thursday several students, who had
received their parents’

permission, were able
to take the live chicks

community support for
their projects. In preschool, Long donated the
duck eggs, and Sean Cullen loaned the class his
incubator. In Blackshire’s
class, Four Seasons Farm
and Jordan and Sony
Roush donated the eggs.
Incubators were supplied
by Sean Cullen, along
with Delton and Brenda
Huffman, and Point
Pleasant Ag Service gave
the students containers
to transport their chicks,
as well as a free bag of
food.

Fully vaccinated
people can travel
safely again, CDC says
By Candice Choi
Associated Press

NEW YORK — Add
travel to the activities
vaccinated Americans
can safely enjoy again,
according to new U.S.
guidance issued Friday.
The Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention updated its
guidance to say fully
vaccinated people can
travel within the U.S.
without getting tested
for the coronavirus or
going into quarantine
afterward.
Still, CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky urged
caution and said she
would “advocate against
general travel overall”
given the rising number
of infections.
“If you are vaccinated,
it is lower risk,” she
said.
According to the CDC,
more than 100 million
people in the U.S. — or
about 30% of the population — have received
at least one dose of a
COVID-19 vaccine. A
person is considered
fully vaccinated two
weeks after receiving the
last required dose.
The agency has said
it would update its guidance on allowed activities for vaccinated people as more people get
the shots and evidence
mounts about the protection they provide.
Outside a San Francisco convention center,
Kara Roche, a consultant
with a tech company,
welcomed the news after
getting her second Pﬁzer
shot.

“I’m thrilled that this
summer there might be
opportunities for us to
go somewhere,” she said.
Roche said she normally travels overseas for
vacation at least twice a
year. Since the pandemic
started, she’s only traveled to Utah and Texas
for work.
“I’ll still be cautious.
I’m not looking to go on
a cruise. I’m not looking
to be in mass crowds
and I’ll probably not go
overseas,” she said. “But
absolutely, if it’s open
and the CDC says we
can do it, I’m looking
forward to going somewhere in the states.”
For people who haven’t
been fully vaccinated,
the CDC is sticking to
its recommendation to
avoid unnecessary travel.
If they do travel, the
agency says to get tested
one to three days before
the trip, and three to ﬁve
days after. People should
also stay home and quarantine for seven days
after travel, even if their
COVID-19 test is negative, the agency says.
According to data
through Thursday from
Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. is averaging
66,000 daily new cases
this past week, up from
55,000 two weeks ago.
The new guidance
says:
— Fully vaccinated
people can travel within
the U.S., without getting
tested for the coronavirus or quarantining.
People should still wear
a mask, socially distance
and avoid crowds, the
agency says.

President Barack Obama speaks in front of the Brent Spence Bridge in Cincinnati in 2011. The bridge, which carries traffic on
Interstate 75 between Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky, has been discussed over the years as a target for replacement under
various infrastructure plans, inlcuding one presented by Obama, and is likely to be included in President Joe Biden’s recently

“Working with my team here at

The task will involve lots of

“Changes in my plan are certain,” Biden acknowledged on
Friday, “but inaction is not an

March hiring
accelerated to 916K, yet
many jobs remain lost

Christians mark Good Friday under virus woes

By Christopher Rugaber

JERUSALEM —
Christians in the Holy
Land marked Good
Friday without the mass
pilgrimages usually seen
in the days leading up
to Easter because of the
coronavirus, and worshippers in many other
predominantly Christian countries where
the virus is still raging
observed their second
annual Holy Week with
tight restrictions on
gatherings.
In Jerusalem, many
holy sites were open,
thanks to an ambitious
Israeli vaccination campaign. It was a stark
contrast to last year,
when the city was under
lockdown. In neighboring Lebanon, Christians
observed Good Friday
under a lockdown and
suffering a severe economic crisis.
In Latin America,
penitents from Guatemala to Paraguay
carried tree branches
covered with thorns and
large crosses in Passion Plays reenacting
the crucifixion of Jesus
Christ. At the Vatican,

WASHINGTON —
America’s employers
unleashed a burst of
hiring in March, adding
916,000 jobs in a sign
that a sustained recovery from the pandemic
recession is taking hold
as vaccinations accelerate, stimulus checks
ﬂow through the economy and businesses
increasingly reopen.
The March increase
— the most since
August — was nearly
double February’s
gain of 468,000, the
Labor Department said

By Joseph Krauss
Associated Press

Friday. The unemployment rate declined from
6.2% to 6%.
Even with last
month’s robust
increase, the economy
remains more than 8
million jobs short of the
number it had before
the pandemic erupted
a little over a year ago.
But with the recovery
widely expected to
strengthen, many forecasters predict enough
hiring in the coming
months to recover nearly all those lost jobs by
year’s end.
Regaining all those
jobs, though, will be a
daunting task.

The demolition had previously been discussed
as part of a proposed jail levy which was voted

Once the building is demolished, the commissioners have discussed possibly locating the hub
