The Ohio Supreme Court declared newly drawn legislative maps invalid on Wednesday, giving the state’s new bipartisan redistricting panel 10 days to fix GOP-drawn boundaries that would have retained Republican supermajorities in both chambers. Ohio justices toss GOP Statehouse maps, order fix in 10 days By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Supreme Court declared GOP-drawn legislative maps invalid on Wednesday, agreeing with voting rights advocates that the lines were unconstitutionally gerrymandered. In a 4-3 ruling, the court sent the maps back to the Ohio Redistricting Commission to take another crack at complying with provisions of a 2015 constitutional amendment. That amendment requires there be an attempt at avoiding partisan favoritism. Justices gave the panel 10 days and retained jurisdiction to review their handiwork. The dispute comes amid the process of redrawing legislative and congressional district maps that states must undertake once per decade to reﬂect changes from the U.S. Census. This was the powerful Redistricting Commission’s ﬁrst time drawing new legislative maps of 99 Ohio House and 33 Ohio Senate districts. Its members — ﬁve Republicans and two Democrats — failed to arrive at bipartisan consensus, so the map they approved See MAPS | 3 Middleport discusses possible village projects Staff Report MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Village Council met in regular session earlier this week to discuss possible projects in the village.

In their dissents, the amendment’s standard that the districts must be court’s three remaining Republicans argued that the majority was grasping at a “sweeping power of judicial review” not available to the court under the provisions of the 2015 constitutional amendment. “The text of the Ohio Constitution is clear, and given the allegations in the complaints, this court lacks the authority to act as requested by the petitioners bringing these cases,” Justice Patrick Fischer wrote. The decision impacts three separate lawsuits against the maps brought on behalf of Ohio voters by a host of national groups, including the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, the ACLU, the League of Women Voters, CAIROhio and the Ohio Organizing Collaborative. Freda Levenson, legal director for the ACLU of Ohio, said the decision sent a clear message to lawmakers that they can’t “put politics over people.” “The Ohio Supreme Court’s decision is huge,” she said in a statement. “It not only orders the immediate drawing of a new, constitutional map, but it also validates that Ohio’s voter-enacted constitutional prohibition that partisan gerrymandering is not merely ‘aspirational’ — it has real teeth. This bodes well for the 2022 election cycle — and beyond.” Alicia Bannon, director of the Judiciary Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, which helped represent plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits, said the court held the commission accountable. “The General Assembly maps entrenched a GOP supermajority and ﬂouted clear partisan fairness requirements in the Ohio constitution – abuses that especially impacted Ohio’s Black, Muslim and immigrant communities,” she said in a statement. “The commission is now tasked with drawing replacement maps.

Teams proposed to address the union’s concern over club service-time manipulation by allowing a team to gain an additional draft pick for an accomplishment by a player not yet eligible for arbitration, such as a high ﬁnish in award voting. There was no movement on the sides’ different stands on luxury tax levels, minimum salaries or on the union’s desire to decrease revenue sharing, which would leave large-market teams with more money to spend. The luxury tax threshold was $210 million in 2021, and MLB proposed raising the threshold to $214 million. Players have asked to lift the threshold to $245 million and to eliminate non-tax penalties. In addition, MLB wants to expand the postseason from 10 teams to 14, and the union is offering 12. MLB has offered to eliminate draft-pick compensation for players lost through free agency, which has been in the labor contract since 1976; to expand the designated hitter to the National League; and to institute an NBA-style draft lottery to address rebuilding, though the sides differ on how many teams the lottery would include. OHSAA to add girls wrestling, boys volleyball By Tim Stried For Ohio Valley Publishing COLUMBUS, Ohio – In a historic move Thursday, the Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors voted unanimously to add girls wrestling and boys volleyball as emerging sports beginning with the 2022-23 school year. In addition, the board voted to move girls and boys lacrosse out of the emerging sports category into the list of OHSAA recognized sports, and also committed to discuss partnering with a group to provide a tournament in Esports (gaming). The Ohio High School Wrestling Coaches Association has been conducting a girls wrestling tournament since 2020, and the Ohio High School Boys Volleyball Association has been conducting its tournament since 1988. “The OHSAA has been talking with the boys volleyball and girls wrestling leaders for several years and we are now in the position to bring these two sports into the OHSAA,” said OHSAA Executive Director Doug Ute. “This move will help those sports continue to grow and allow those student-athletes to compete for an OHSAA state championship. It gives more kids opportunities and that is the mission of the OHSAA.” As emerging sports, girls wrestling and boys volleyball will be administered like the OHSAA’s current 26 recognized sports, but will have additional requirements according to OHSAA General Sports Regulation 16 that could lead to full sanctioning in the future. “We will look to keep a very similar format for the girls wrestling and boys volleyball tournaments as what the coaches associations have been doing,” Ute said. “The girls wrestling state tournament is held in mid-February and the boys volleyball state tournament is held in the spring. We have not yet developed tournament regulations, but we’ll start working on that so that those two sports hit the ground running next fall for the start of the 2022-23 school year.” See OHSAA | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Jan. 14 Boys Basketball Southern at Eastern, 7 p.m. Ironton at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Lincoln County at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Belpre at South Gallia, 7 p.m. Ritchie County at Wahama, 7 p.m. Sherman at Hannan, 7 p.m. Parkersburg Christian at OVCS, 7:30 River Valley at Nelsonville-York, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball Parkersburg Christian at OVCS, 6 p.m. Wrestling River Valley at Alliance, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at Top Gun INV, 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 15 Boys Basketball Gallia Academy at Marietta, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball Ravenswood at Southern, 6 p.m. South Gallia at Athens, 1:30 Wrestling Saunders Insurance Duals at GAHS, 10 a.m. Meigs, Eastern at Alexander INV, 10 a.m. River Valley at Alliance, 10 a.m. Point Pleasant at Top Gun INV, 10 a.m. Wahama at St. Marys INV, 10 a.m. Don Wright | AP Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (85) makes a touchdown catch as Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (23) defends during the second half Jan. 3 in Pittsburgh. Haden eyes last stand in Pittsburgh By Will Graves AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH — Joe Haden felt terrible in the middle of last week as symptoms of COVID-19 took their toll. A day later, the veteran Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back left better. Physically, anyway. Mentally, Haden feared his second time in the league’s protocols would end the same way the ﬁrst did: with Haden watching on TV as Pittsburgh’s season came to a swift end. A year ago, Haden was a well-compensated bystander as the Steelers were run off Heinz Field by Cleveland in the ﬁrst round of the playoffs. He couldn’t shake a familiar feeling as Pittsburgh prepared to face Baltimore last weekend with a shot at the postseason on the line. “I was pissed,” Haden said with a laugh Thursday. “I was so upset. The only thing I wanted to know was, ‘Is there any way I can get back playing?’” Haden did exit the protocols in time to make four tackles in a 16-13 overtime victory over the Ravens that helped push the Steelers (9-7-1) into an improbable trip to Kansas City (12-5) on Sunday to face Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. While Haden played less than half of Pittsburgh’s defensive snaps, his presence helped a unit that’s been uneven at best ﬁnd a way to limit the Ravens to just one touchdown. His reward? At least one more week in black and gold and just the second playoff game of his 12-year career. That’s not a great ratio, and Haden knows it. It’s why he’s telling his teammates — particularly players like ﬁrst-year defensive back Tre Norwood — not to take the opportunity for granted. Haden spent the ﬁrst seven seasons of his career playing for bad Cleveland teams. He knows how rare the opportunities to play deep into January are — and how easily they can be taken away. So he is attempting to savor every moment, as ﬂeeting as it may be for a player in the ﬁnal year of his contract who will likely be elsewhere next fall. “Once you get in, everybody is on an equal playing ﬁeld,” Haden said. “It doesn’t really matter what side you are, how you got in. It’s three games to the Super Bowl. In four games, you are Super Bowl champ.” Even if the idea of the Steelers — who are nearly two-touchdown underdogs to the two- time defending AFC champion Chiefs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook — putting together an extended run seems unlikely. Any shot Pittsburgh has at slowing down Kansas City relies heavily on Haden and the rest of the defensive backﬁeld ﬁnd a way to keep Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce in check. Haden will need to be at his best, something he can still summon regularly more than a decade into his career. Haden didn’t have an interception, just the second time in 12 years that’s happened during a season in which he played at least 10 games. But he still made an impact. In a 19-13 win over AFC South champion Tennessee last month, Haden recovered a fumble to set up a ﬁeld goal and held See HADEN | 8 White Falcons fall at St. Marys, 64-55 By Colton Jeffries ﬁrst quarter.

No quarterback has ever endured as much losing in his ﬁrst eight seasons as Carr has with only ﬂeeting success in that same span. That’s what makes this improbable trip to the playoffs for a Raiders team counted out just four weeks ago so gratifying. Especially for Carr, who has taken a big share of criticism for the losing seasons and now ﬁnally gets to perform on the playoff stage after being stuck at home with a broken ankle ﬁve years ago when the Raiders last made it. “Obviously, it’s something I’ve dreamed of since I was drafted,” Carr said. “That’s all I want to do is get to the playoffs and try and win a championship. The fact that we’re in the tournament, it’s really cool. I’m super thankful. I’ve worked my tail off. I’ve prayed that I could experience that one day and I get to. It’s cool. But at the same time, my goal wasn’t just to make the playoffs, it was a part of it. But you always have bigger goals and bigger dreams and you’re always trying to achieve more.” Carr didn’t have that opportunity in the 2016 season when he helped lead the Raiders to a 12-3 record before going down with an injury in the penultimate game of (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN the season. Carr threw 28 TD passes and ﬁve interceptions that season and looked like an up-and-coming star after his third season. But repeating that success proved difﬁcult. Carr regressed the next season when the Raiders slipped to 6-10, then took time getting comfortable in coach Jon Gruden’s offense. Carr had a strong season in 2020 but was done in by too many turnovers and a porous defense. Then a promising start this season looked like it would go to waste after Gruden was forced to resign over the publication of his old offensive emails and receiver Henry Ruggs III was released after being charged with felonies in a DUI crash that killed a 23-year-old woman.

DeWine facing primary: no pandemic response regrets By Andrew Welsh-Huggins and John Seewer Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — GOP Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine says he has no regrets about his response to the coronavirus pandemic even if Republican voters who thought he went too far are angry enough to vote him out in the upcoming May primary. DeWine, 75, is running for a second four-year term, which he has said will mark the end of his career in politics. The governor has faced at times harsh criticism from GOP voters and fellow Republicans in the Legislature over his early shut-down orders and mask mandate. DeWine told The Associated Press in a Wednesday interview that his pro-life stance includes protecting people from death by COVID-19, not making expedient political decisions. “Whatever happens in the election happens, but this was a crucial time in our history,” DeWine said. “And I had an obligation to listen, which I did, to consult and then to make decisions that I thought were in the best interests of the people of Ohio.” In the May 3 GOP primary, DeWine faces former GOP Congressman Jim Renacci and Joe Blystone, a central Ohio farmer. Renacci has attacked DeWine as governing “like a blue-state liberal.” A handful of county GOP chairs in reliably Republican areas of rural Ohio also have gone after the governor over his pandemic shutdowns. DeWine took an early and aggressive stand against the coronavirus, sharply restricting a giant sports festival in Columbus in early March 2020 without a single case of COVID-19 in the state, a move that many questioned. He followed up by becoming the ﬁrst governor of any party to shut down schools. Although he initially hesitated to mandate masks statewide, DeWine ﬁnally made that order permanent in July 2020, along with numerous other restrictions on movement and mass gatherings. Early in the pandemic, the governor shut down restaurants and retail shops and later set overnight curfews for bars and other businesses, drawing criticism almost immediately from fellow GOP lawmakers. Some business owners, including the state’s two largest amusement parks, ﬁled legal challenges against the restrictions. DeWine said this week that the state struck a middle-ground approach when compared with other states, pointing out that factories and construction companies were allowed to remain open. “One of the things that we did early on in the pandemic is brought the business community in and put them on committees to come up with how best to, in some cases open their businesses back up,” the governor said. A handful of far-right legislators called for DeWine’s impeachment, and in March 2021 the Republican General Projects they see him as one of them,” Devine said. “He has been around for decades, but in many ways he represents an old model of the Republican Party.” Still, he thinks that DeWine’s critics are a vocal minority and that the governor will be hard to beat in the primary. DeWine told The Associated Press that government should not be in the business of either requiring vaccines — as President Joe Biden is trying to do with his big employer mandate — or prohibiting vaccine mandates, as Ohio House Republicans want to. “Seems to me that that is a conservative approach that I’m taking,” DeWine said. “Seems to me it’s consistent with what Republicans believe.” Supreme Court halts COVID-19 vaccine rule for US businesses From page 1 building or remodeling a house would be granted 100 percent tax abatement based on the increased taxes resulting from the cost of the improvements. Hoffman said any abatement on commercial property would be negotiated by council and a proposed committee as required by law. He said two different committees would need to be appointed as required by the Ohio Revised Code and a housing ofﬁcer would need to be appointed. He recommended that Hendrickson be appointed as the housing ofﬁcer who would handle all residential housing tax abatement applications. After a short discussion in which all council members voiced their approval of the recommendation, the ordinance was given a ﬁrst reading. The news release further stated, “Hoffman said the problems with the Salisbury Fire Levy had been resolved by the prosecutor and auditor and this levy will not be collected in Middleport and Pomeroy. He thanked Hedges for his efforts in seeing the problem was taken care of.” Hoffman said Hendrickson has put together information on sidewalks on South Second, South Third, South Fourth, some areas in between and uptown. Mitch Altire of IBI Group has agreed to put together estimates, design, etc. on what is needed for the application. Hendrickson said this would be a twophase project replacing the sidewalks in that area and that we would like to submit the project through the ODOT Transportation Alternatives Program. The funds for the proposed project, if approved, would not be available until July 1, 2024. Total cost would be $2,051,500 with $1,060,200 being the cost of the ﬁrst phase. Village would be responsible for a ﬁve percent match ($45,435) and engineering costs of $151,500 for a total of $196,935. Hoffman said he was sure he could come up with the local funds needed if the project were to be approved. In discussion it was pointed out that engineering funds would need to be secured soon after project approval before the project went any further and that grant funds can be obtained for this. After discussion, a resolution was approved Assembly handed the governor his ﬁrst veto override involving legislation that restricted Ohio ability to respond to emergencies such as the coronavirus pandemic. The mask order was ﬁnally lifted last summer, and DeWine resisted calls to renew it, saying Ohio now had the tools with the vaccine to combat the coronavirus. A big reason why some Republican voters grew angry with DeWine was because they saw him putting in restrictions that ran counter to what they were hearing from President Donald Trump and conservative governors in other states, said Christopher Devine, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Dayton. “I don’t think they see him as one of us. I think By Mark Sherman and Jessica Gresko Associated Press Village of Middleport | Courtesy With a unanimous vote from council, Matt Lyons was appointed to the vacant seat on Middleport Village Council. authorizing Hoffman to submit the application to ODOT. Council approved the purchase of a half page ad in the Meigs County Tourism Guide at a cost of $360, using the same ad from last year with a few minor changes. Hoffman said Conde had informed him the Business Association will not be doing the ﬁreworks this year. Hoffman said this has been a long tradition in Middleport since Bob Gilmore started it back in the early 1990’s and he would like council’s opinion on whether to drop it or to proceed with a bigger and better celebration, consisting of more than ﬁreworks if we wish to continue the tradition. Hoffman said he discussed this with Mary Wise and that she and Wilbur Stivers would be willing to take charge of activities for that day and would also help in raising funds for the ﬁreworks. Hoffman said he understood the ﬁreworks would need $5,000 paid up front in order to secure the ﬁreworks and needs to be done very soon. Hoffman suggested the village put up the $5,000 for the down payment with the next $5,000 to be raised by donations. After a lengthy discussion, council agreed to postpone a decision until the next meeting, to allow time for review of the village ﬁnances by the ﬁscal ofﬁcer and council. The mayor presented council with bulletins from the Ohio Municipal League informing communities that all ARPA funds can now be used for any legitimate government purpose and the reporting was also being streamlined. The village will receive approximately $124,000 again this year from ARPA funds. According to the news release, “Police Chief Wood discussed with council some of the problems which have occurred during the past month within the police department and that he had received advice from several agencies, including the FBI, on how to handle the problems. Wood stated that there has been a lot of sickness and he has been very short-handed at various times, but that Pomeroy and the sheriff have helped and Middleport has also helped them when needed.” Village Administrator Woodall discussed the water project with council and said he felt it was moving along well with several crews working at different locations in the community. In response to a question from Byer about the truck purchase, Woodall discussed the proposed truck purchase that was approved several months ago from Mark Porter and “problems encountered in trying to obtain the vehicle,” stated the release. Woodall also apologized for the mud the “uptown” area of the village which had been cleaned up. “Byer stated that the new dump truck purchased by the village looked great and thought it would be a real asset to the community,” stated the news release. Woodall stated that parts had to be ordered for the snow plow on the truck. Byer also stated that he would like to see the cemetery project completed and the backstop completed for the archery range as soon as possible before any other projects were taken on. Conde inquired about the trophy case project. Hoffman said he talked to Jeff Darst about it and it was moving along well. Conde said he received the information from the Bunner family on the size and speciﬁcations of the handicapped playground equipment which they had purchased. He said he would relay this to Penny Mullen in order for her to give a price for design of the park for that purpose. Conde also said he had talked to representatives of the Blakeslee Center and they had requested that a “No Outlet” sign be placed at the corner of South Fourth and Lincoln. Hoffman said the sign placement was in process and would be there this week. “Conde questioned the use of sick leave and felt that it may be abused somewhat,” stated the news release. “Hoffman said so much sick leave was allotted to employees by council and some use it and some do not. Hoffman agreed with Conde that the sick time, which is allocated to employees by council, is very liberal. If it needed changed, procedures need to be followed to do so.” Conde also questioned the use of asphalt on repair to some of the brick streets. Hoffman said this was not the policy but the Main Street and South Fourth Avenue intersection had gotten so bad that some asphalt had been used to ﬁll some of the holes. He stated this was one of the worst sections of road in town and needed a lot of attention to correct the problems, such as redoing the intersection in concrete or asphalt, but there were no immediate plans to do this. Conde said the village needed a plan to repair or maintain some of the brick streets. Both the mayor and Woodall said they were open to suggestions or help from anyone who wanted to do this. Hoffman said this was a job for professionals but there does not seem to be any the village could afford or that could do the work.. Also discussed was the vacation time accumulated by Fiscal Ofﬁcer Baker as it related to when she retires. Council adjourned with the next regular meeting scheduled for Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. Information submitted by Middleport Mayor Fred Hoffman. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has stopped the Biden administration from enforcing a requirement that employees at large businesses be vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing and wear a mask on the job. At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S. The court’s orders Thursday during a spike in coronavirus cases was a mixed bag for the administration’s efforts to boost the vaccination rate among Americans. The court’s conservative majority concluded the administration overstepped its authority by seeking to impose the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s vaccine-or-test rule on U.S. businesses with at least 100 employees. More than 80 million people would have been affected. “OSHA has never before imposed such a mandate. Nor has Congress. Indeed, although Congress has enacted signiﬁcant legislation addressing the COVID–19 pandemic, it has declined to enact any measure similar to what OSHA has promulgated here,” the conservatives wrote in an unsigned opinion. In dissent, the court’s three liberals argued that it was the court that was overreaching by substituting its judgments for health experts. “Acting outside of its competence and without legal basis, the Court displaces the judgments of the Government ofﬁcials given the responsibility to respond to workplace health emergencies,” Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a joint dissent. The vaccine mandate that the court will allow to be enforced nationwide covers virtually all health care workers in the country. More than 208 million Americans, 62.7% of the population, are fully vaccinated, and more than a third of those have received booster shots, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All nine justices have gotten booster shots. 2 former top executives to repay thousands to Columbus Zoo COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two former top ofﬁcials will repay thousands of dollars to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium after audits found improper spending and questionable business practices cost the institution more than $630,000. The zoo’s board of directors approved a $132,000 settlement with former chief ﬁnancial ofﬁcer Greg Bell during a special meeting Wednesday, the Columbus Dispatch reported. Board Chairman Keith Shumate also said Tracy Murnane, the former director of purchasing, has agreed to repay $11,000. Bell and Tom Stalf, the zoo’s former president and chief executive ofﬁcer, both resigned last March after an investigation by the newspaper found they allowed relatives to live in houses owned or controlled by the zoo and sought tickets for family members to zoo entertainment events. Forensic auditors found Bell was responsible for nearly $139,000 of the $631,000 in overall losses, while Murnane was responsible for nearly $13,000, the newspaper reported. While the settlement amounts reached with both men fell short of the total estimated losses, Shumate told the newspaper the amounts were a compromise. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
