US banning Russian oil imports, Biden warns of ‘costs’
By Zeke Miller,
Mike Balsamo
and Josh Boak
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
President Joe Biden
announced Tuesday the
U.S. will ban all Russian
oil imports, toughening
the toll on Russia’s economy in retaliation for its
invasion of Ukraine, but
he acknowledged it will

bring costs to Americans,
particularly at the gas
pump.
The action follows
pleas by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to U.S. and Western
ofﬁcials to cut off the
imports, which had been
a glaring omission in the
massive sanctions put in
place on Russia over the
invasion. Energy exports
have kept a steady stream

of cash ﬂowing to Russia
despite otherwise severe
restrictions on its ﬁnancial sector.
“We will not be part of
subsidizing Putin’s war,”
Biden declared, calling
the new action a “powerful blow” against Russia’s
ability to fund the ongoing offensive.
He warned that Americans will see rising prices, saying, “Defending

freedom is going to cost.”
Biden said the U.S. was
acting in close consultation with European allies,
who are more dependent
on Russian energy supplies. The European
Union this week will commit to phasing out its reliance on Russia for energy
needs as soon as possible,
but ﬁlling the void

TODAY IN HISTORY
Associated Press

Today is Wednesday,
March 9, the 68th day of
2022. There are 297 days
left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history
On March 9, 1933,
Congress, called into special session by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt,
began its “hundred days”
of enacting New Deal legislation.
On this date
In 1796, the future
emperor of the French,
Napoleon Bonaparte,
married Josephine de
Beauharnais. (The couple
later divorced.)
In 1841, the U.S.
Supreme Court, in United
States v. The Amistad,
ruled 7-1 in favor of a
group of illegally enslaved
Africans who were captured off the U.S. coast
after seizing control of
a Spanish schooner, La
Amistad; the justices
ruled that the Africans
should be set free.
In 1862, during the
Civil War, the ironclads
USS Monitor and CSS
Virginia (formerly USS
Merrimac) clashed for
ﬁve hours to a draw at
Hampton Roads, Virginia.
In 1916, more than
400 Mexican raiders led
by Pancho Villa (VEE’uh) attacked Columbus,

New Mexico, killing
18 Americans. During
the First World War,
Germany declared war on
Portugal.
In 1945, during World
War II, U.S. B-29 bombers began launching
incendiary bomb attacks
against Tokyo, resulting
in an estimated 100,000
deaths.
In 1964, the U.S.
Supreme Court, in
New York Times Co. v.
Sullivan, raised the standard for public ofﬁcials to
prove they’d been libeled
in their ofﬁcial capacity
by news organizations.
In 1976, a cable car in
the Italian ski resort of
Cavalese fell some 700
feet to the ground when a
supporting line snapped,
killing 43 people.
In 1987, Chrysler Corp.
announced it had agreed
to buy the ﬁnancially
ailing American Motors
Corp.
In 1989, the Senate
rejected President George
H.W. Bush’s nomination of John Tower to
be defense secretary by
a vote of 53-47. (The
next day, Bush tapped
Wyoming Rep. Dick
Cheney, who went on to
win unanimous Senate
approval.)
In 1997, gangsta rapper The Notorious B.I.G.
(Christopher Wallace)
was killed in a still-

unsolved drive-by shooting in Los Angeles; he
was 24.
In 2000, John McCain
suspended his presidential campaign, conceding
the Republican nomination to George W. Bush.
Bill Bradley ended his
presidential bid, conceding the Democratic nomination to Vice President
Al Gore.
In 2020, global stock
markets and oil prices
plunged, reﬂecting
mounting alarm over the
impact of the coronavirus.

softball sweeps
Alice Lloyd
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

PIPPA PASSES, Ky. — The University of Rio
Grande rolled up 24 runs en route to a pair of
mercy rule-shortened wins over Alice Lloyd College, Friday afternoon, in non-conference softball
action at Eagle Field.
The RedStorm started the day with a 13-2 rout
of their hosts in ﬁve innings, while posting an 11-1
win in ﬁve innings in the nightcap.
Rio Grande ﬁnished the day at 8-4 and riding a
three-game winning streak.
Alice Lloyd dropped to 0-10 as a result of the
sweep.
Rio blew things open in game one with a fourrun third inning uprising that produced a 6-0 lead.
Six more runs in the ﬁfth set the stage for the
mercy rule to be invoked.
Senior Shelby Schmitt (Fairﬁeld, OH) went
3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and four runs batted
in for the RedStorm, while senior Zoe Doll (Minford, OH) also went 3-for-4 with a home run and
two RBI.
Junior Christen Risner (Wheelersburg, OH) had
two hits, including a double, and freshman Holly
Alvoid (North Lewisburg, OH) added two hits of
her own in the victory.
Senior Kenzie Cremeens (Ironton, OH) clubbed
a three-run double in the six-run ﬁfth and freshman Jenna Myers (Hebron, OH) cracked her sixth
home run of the season.
Sophomore Kali Brickman (Huber Heights) went
the distance to get the win in the circle for Rio,
allowing three hits and a pair of unearned runs over
ﬁve innings. She also struck out a pair of batters.
Baylee Compton and Baylee Cox both doubled
and drove in a run for Alice Lloyd, while starting
pitcher Mckenzie Brewer allowed nine hits and
seven runs — four earned — over three innings in
suffering the loss.
In game two, Rio Grande took control early with
four runs in the second inning and then lowered
the boom with a ﬁve-run fourth inning.
Doll had a triple and two RBI for the RedStorm,
while sophomore Lexi Carnahan (Felicity, OH)
doubled and drove in two runs. Myers and Cremeens also had doubles in the victory.
Freshman Hannah Beers got the win in her ﬁrst
collegiate start, allowing four hits and run over
ﬁve innings while fanning ﬁve.
Maleigh McDaniel took the loss for the Eagles,
allowing eight hits and 11 runs — seven earned
— in four innings of work.
Lyndsey Adkins had a double and McDaniel
drove in the only run for ALC.

Wrestling Championships held Saturday in Huntington, W.Va.

New champs discuss big weekend
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
— They say the original
is always better than the
sequel … at least when it
comes to movies.
For a quartet of Point
Pleasant wrestlers, they’ll
have at least two more
years to nail the follow-up
production.
The Big Blacks added
four new members to
their hallowed hall of
state champions this
past weekend at the 75th
annual WVSSAC Wrestling Championships
held at Mountain Health
Arena.
Sophomores Nathan
Wood and Conner Blessing, as well as freshmen
Gunner Andrick and
Josh Woyan, collectively
became the 23rd, 24th,
25th and 26 different
athletes to win individual
state championships for
PPHS … all while increasing the total number of
title-winners out to 42.
For Wood and Blessing, it was a cherished
memory that came in
each grappler’s second
state tournament appearance after qualifying for
state as freshmen the year
before.
For Andrick and
Woyan, conversely, it was
a state debut that has
only been matched four
times previously in Point
Pleasant history as the
duo joined Rusty Maness
(2008), George Smith
(2016), Derek Raike
(2019) and Justin Bartee

Point Pleasant freshman Josh Woyan has his hand lifted to
recognize his 152-pound title during the 2022 Class AA-A Wrestling
Championships held Saturday in Huntington, W.Va.

(2019) as the only freshmen to ever win state
championships on behalf
of PPHS.
The quartet was also
joined by both Bartee and
Raike atop the podium
by the completion of the
weekend, giving the Big
Blacks a total of six individual champions at the
state tournament — the
most ever recorded by
a single program at one
state championship.
It was the third consecutive year in which
PPHS came away with
six individual champions,
and only the ﬁfth time in

the tournament’s history
— dating back to 1976 —
that one team accounted
for a half-dozen champions. Oak Glen (2001)
and Independence (2017)
have also accomplished
the 6-pack of champions
once apiece.
This moment was cherished by each individually, but the foursome also
displayed a great deal of
pride in being part of the
program’s ﬁrst-ever 4-peat
as Class AA-A team
champions.
And by night’s end,
those four seemed even
more driven to be back in

this same spot approximately 12 months from
now.
Wood — who placed
ﬁfth at 106 pounds a year
ago — noted that last
year’s experience at the
state tournament paid
dividends … all the way
to the top of this year
113-pound podium.
“It’s an amazing feeling
being a state champion
and it’s something I’ve
been dreaming of since
I was ﬁve years old. The
experience of being here
last year helped tremendously because I didn’t
have the nerves that I did
last year and I was able to
stay focused more on the
matches and the goal …
and now I’m the guy on
top,” Wood said. “I feel
very fortunate to even be
here in this spot. I dislocated my elbow earlier in
the year and there was a
possibility that my season
was over at that point.
Luckily, I healed quickly
and was able to get
cleared to compete in the
postseason … and now
I’m a state champion. It’s
an amazing feeling to
know how all of this has
ended now.”
Wood went 4-0 at 113
pounds and scored a
single pinfall win to go
along with three victories
by decision. Wood ends
the year with a 21-4 overall record.
Blessing was another
sophomore with experience at the state tournament after competing at

the techniques they may

then from there we’ll
kind of adjust,” head
coach Ryan Day said.
“Right now I want to

possible to see what
they’re good at so I can
build things around
what we have here,”
Knowles added.
The holes left by
departed receivers
Chris Olave and Garrett

ﬁrst-round NFL draft
picks next month, will
quickly be ﬁlled by
other potential stars.
Jaxon Smith Njigba

after his 1,606 yards led
the team last season.
Marvin Harrison III’s
three touchdowns in the
Rose Bowl set him up
for a top role in 2022,

and Julian Fleming will
be given a chance to
emerge.
Stroud, who threw
for 4,435 yards and 44
touchdowns as a freshman and was named
Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, should be
in the Heisman Trophy
conversation from Week
1. Day and offensive
coordinator Kevin Wilson said they intend to
“put a little bit more on
his plate” in 2022.
“At this point last
year, he hadn’t thrown
a college pass. Now
he’s got a whole year
under his belt,” Day
said. “You kind of learn
what to do, now you
learn why you do it. It’s
just a little more of a
deeper understanding
of things.”
With the transfers
of quarterbacks Jack
Miller III and Quinn
Ewers, Kyle McCord is
expected to be the No.
1 backup to Stroud,
with freshman Devin
Brown behind him.
Running back
TreyVeyon Henderson

COLUMBUS, Ohio
— Ohio State’s wild
48-45 win over Utah in
the Rose Bowl helped
salve the wounded spirit of a Buckeyes team
coming off a humiliating loss at Michigan
that ruined their championship hopes.
C.J. Stroud set passing records in the
Rose Bowl game, but
the problems that had
dogged Ohio State’s
defense all season were
still on display. In the
Michigan and Utah
games, the unit allowed
a combined 950 yards
and 87 points. The
42-27 setback at Michigan was the ﬁrst loss to
the hated rivals in eight
seasons and ﬁrst in the
Jim Harbaugh era.
So changes ensued.
Rebuilding, reorganizing and rescheming the
defense will be a focus
for Ohio State in spring
practice, which opened
Tuesday at the Woody
Hayes Athletic Center.
The Buckeyes have a
new defensive coordinator, Jim Knowles, who
had transformed Oklahoma State’s defense
and was a ﬁnalist last
season for the Broyles
Award as the nation’s
top assistant coach. The
Cowboys allowed just
16.8 points per game in
the Big 12 and were No.
3 in yards allowed per
game (273.6) among all
Power 5 programs.
“We have speed
everywhere, we have
size everywhere,”
Knowles said. “The way
guys move on the football ﬁeld, it’s impressive
to me. It’s my job to
mold that into a cohesive unit and a defense.”
Knowles said the
support he’s gotten
within the program has
allowed a “hyper-focus”
on the job at hand.
“I basically have
everything I ever wanted, or anything every
coach could ever want,”
he said. “When you
dream about being a
coach at this level, that’s
it. All the resources.”
Ohio State also has a
pair of new secondary
coaches who will build
that unit around cornerback Denzel Burke and
safety Ronnie Hickman.
“Once we get on the
ﬁeld and these (new
coaches) get a chance
to see them move
around, identify, diagnose, run to the foot-

113 pounds last winter.
This time, Blessing fell
behind 2-0 in the ﬁrst
period before rallying
with three straight points
to claim a 3-2 victory in
the 120-pound ﬁnal.
Blessing — who ﬁnished his sophomore campaign with a 39-6 overall
record — scored one
pinfall victory and three
wins by decision en route
to his ﬁrst state crown.
“It’s an incredible
feeling to be a state
champion. I just tried
to take it one match at
a time and give it all I
had each time out on the
mat … and it paid off,”
Blessing said. “We’ve
put the work in to reach
this goal tonight and we
knew coming in that we
were the best team in
the state. This weekend,
we proved that. That’s
the best part about all of
this, being able to 4-peat
and send those seniors
out properly.”
They were the only
two freshmen in Point’s
starting lineup, and both
Andrick and Woyan delivered like seasoned veterans in their state debuts
at 126 and 152 pounds
respectively.
Andrick was dominant
in his ﬁrst state tournament after recording
three pinfall wins and a
9-1 major decision victory in the semiﬁnal round.
Andrick’s 4-0 mark at 126
pounds completed his
ﬁrst full varsity campaign
with an impressive 44-5
overall record.
“It’s a good start and a
great feeling to be a state
champion. Honestly, my
main goal is to win four
of these, and the hardest one might be out of
the way,” Andrick said
with a conﬁdent grin.
“It’s good to be in a very
small group of acclaimed
freshmen to win championships, but it’s even
better being part of the
program’s ﬁrst 4-peat

Dolly Parton, James Patterson — in words and music
By Hillel Italie
AP National Writer

LA VERGNE, Tennessee — Sometimes even
Dolly Parton has a hard
time keeping up with the
legend of Dolly Parton.
“I often go into my
museum in Dollywood,
you know, because I’m
in the mood to be there
or we’re in there doing
something or putting
something new in. And I
look at all that stuff and
think ‘When, how did
that happen?’” she says.
“I shake my head when I
see, like a documentary
or something. I think how
did I do all that, how did I
get all that done?”
The singer, songwriter,
actor and philanthropist
is speaking from another
wing of her empire, one
of two sound stages at a
7,200-square foot studio
complex outside of Nashville, with assistants and
technicians moving about
and Parton herself in a
characteristically cheerful
mood on an otherwise
overcast afternoon.

music festival on the Las
Vegas Strip in 2017 when
a 64-year man opened

said he still couldn’t
believe the moment happened as he introduced
Stapleton.
Stapleton performed
his angry song about the
shooting, “Watch You
Burn.”
“Only a coward would
pick up a gun, and shoot
up a crowd trying to have
fun,” Stapleton sang.
Otherwise, the show
did its best to be lighthearted fun.
Parton opened the
show by taking the stage
at he indoor stadium in
a jumpsuit that appeared
to be covered in sparkling
shards of glass.
“A disco ball just fell

did endure “having bad
managers and having to,
you know, just squirm,
trying to get out of situations.” AnnieLee’s struggles to take control of her
career reminded Parton
of her early work with
Porter Waggoner, who
helped her break through
professionally in 1967
when he brought her on
to his popular television
show. They recorded and
toured together for seven
years, their battles well
publicized, before she
announced her departure.
The end of their working
partnership inspired her
classic “I Will Always
Love You.”
“Oh God, I used to
ﬁght all the time with
Porter Waggoner,” she
says of the late singer,
who died in 2007. “We
were known for, you

Ohio’s capital city
drops mask mandate
as COVID cases fall
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio’s capital
and largest city has
dropped its mask mandate amid a continuing
fall in coronavirus cases
and hospitalizations.
Columbus Mayor
Andrew Ginther had
implemented the mandate in September as
COVID-19 cases spiked
driven by the delta variant.
“We are encouraged
by the declining number
of cases and that the
burden on our health
care professionals and
frontline workers has
been greatly reduced,”
said Ginther, who
signed city council legislation Monday doing
away with the mandate.

romance and cheering

Parton songs such as

“Big Dreams and Faded
Jeans.” On the darker
side are unscrupulous
executives, unwanted
physical advances and the
male-oriented ways of

radio consultant’s “salad”
theory, in which men
are the essential artists,
“the lettuce,” the women
more like tomatoes, “to

Through the online
fundraiser, the goal is to
raise $6,000. The fundraiser started Feb. 14 and
will run until April 8.
The $6,000 will cover
the distributions for three
months at one location.
“Just one trip. We
would love to be able to
expand that to like go
to several locations in
Gallia County,” Carroll
said. “Last year we went
to the Gallia community
out around the Greenﬁeld
Volunteer Fire Department and Townhouse.
They let us park there
and the ﬁre department
and some of the trustees
came and helped unload
and load stuff in people’s
vehicles. That was wonderful to have their support and their help.”
Carroll said expansion

is the goal, but funding is
needed ﬁrst.
“We would like to
expand to be able to go
down around the Crown
City, Mercerville area
and then maybe like
Cheshire, Addison…that
area of the county,” Carroll said. “It’s just, without the funding, we just
can’t do it.”
Carroll said sometimes
the hardest part is ﬁnding
a location to set up as the
trailer is quite large.
“The truck and trailer
together is kind of big,
so you need a good-sized
parking lot where we can
pull over to the side,”
Carroll said. “And then a
location where folks can
line up where they’re not
out in the road. It takes a
certain location to be able
to do that.”
2021 was the ﬁrst year
of the mobile food pantry
in Gallia County, starting
out as an idea stemming

from COVID, Carroll
said it was “very well
received.”
“Because so many
people were restricted
with their transportation and folks who used
to be able to come and
pick them up and take
them places weren’t going
anywhere anymore,”
Carroll said. “It’s kind of
COVID friendly, because
we’re wearing masks and
they’re in their vehicles,
and they just pull up and
pull through. So there’s
not much contact. They
just open their trunk or
tell us they want it in the
back door. We put it in
and they go on, so that
we could serve and still
keep our volunteers safe
at the same time.”
The food boxes distributed, give a family
enough food for three
meals a day for seven
days with frozen meat,
and other necessities for

the meals.
Carroll said the current

and contains a number of
nonproﬁts, including several from Gallia County.

as well.

Nucor

We’re not quite sure at
this point.”
Musgrave said that
Nucor also brings with it
recycling and more businesses.
“If you like green
energy or you like the
company that’s concerned
with the environment,
they’re the largest recycling company in North
America,” Musgrave said.
“They’re going to bring
with them at the Apple
Grove site, some of their
supply chain, and they’re
going to locate a few.”
Musgrave also spoke
about the location of the
plant in Apple Grove,
W.Va.

“They bought the 1,400
acres from Appalachian
Power, [but] they’re adding to it,” Musgrave said.
“They bought a lot of
extra property and they’re
offering to buy anybody’s
property that they want
to sell at what they consider a reasonable price.”
Musgrave also reported
the county has two substations in north Point
Pleasant, W.Va. that were
put in in the 1950s. He
said a new and upgraded
substation is coming.
“AEP just bought property up there, they’re putting in a new substation,”
Musgrave said. “It’s going
to service those industrial

sites, and they’re going to
upgrade it. So, down at
Apple Grove with Nucor,
they’re upgrading that
whole system. They’re
going to have the largest
electric furnace in North
America, possibly the
world.”
Also, a $1.3 million
grant from the Corps of
Engineers was secured
to engineer a sewer pipe,
Musgrave said. An engineering ﬁrm was hired,
the $300,000 match was
raised and it was turned
over to the Mason County Public Service District.
“We were able to tell
Nucor, by the time that
your plants ready, and

you bring in 800 people
in, that plant will have
that sewer system complete,” Musgrave said.

news, it was announced
on Thursday, May 19, the
annual Chamber dinner
and awards will host keynote speaker Brad Smith,
Marshall University’s new
president.

and pointed out that it
was going to be the “largest capital expenditure in
the history of the state of
West Virginia.”
Musgrave continued:
“It’s the largest going in,
but they plan at about
two and half, three years,
they’re going to go from
$2.7 billion to about $4
billion, and they say it
could go on to $6 or $7
billion dollars in capital.
The largest steel plant
in North America, possibly in the world, has the

biggest electric furnace
installed, modern. It’s just
an excellent facility.”
Musgrave said that
Nucor will be one of
the largest employers in
the state, starting with
roughly 800 employees,
projecting to grow to
1,200 people within the
ﬁrst couple of years.
“Their wages are the
highest in the industry,”
Musgrave said. “They’re
going to have about 1,000
to 1,500 construction
workers working for two
years. They’re going to
have over 100 contractors
that they’re going to be
working with, and could
go to several hundred.

Unlike the US, which
is a major oil and gas
producer, Europe relies
on imports for 90%
of its gas and 97% of
its oil products. Russia supplies 40% of
Europe’s gas and a
quarter of its oil. The
U.S. does not import
Russian natural gas.
The issue of oil
sanctions has created
a conﬂict for the president between political
interests at home and
efforts to impose costs
on Russia. Though
Russian oil makes up
only a small part of
U.S. imports, Biden
has said he was reluctant to ban it, cutting
into supplies here
and pushing gasoline
prices higher.
Inﬂation is at a
40-year peak, fueled in
large part by gas prices,
and that could hurt
Biden heading into the
November midterm
elections. He said two
weeks ago that he wanted “to limit the pain
the American people
are feeling at the gas
pump.”
Gas prices have been
rising for weeks due
to the conﬂict and in
anticipation of potential sanctions on the
Russian energy sector.

Biden said it was
understandable that
prices were rising,
but cautioned the
U.S. energy industry
against “excessive price
increases” and exploiting consumers.
Even before the U.S.

ban many Western
energy companies
including ExxonMobil
and BP moved to cut
ties with the Russia
and limit imports.
Shell, which purchased
a shipment of Russian
oil this weekend, apologized for the move on
Tuesday amid international criticism and
pledged to halt further
purchases of Russian
energy supplies. Preliminary data from the
U.S. Energy Department shows imports of
Russian crude dropped
to zero in the last week
in February.
In 2021, the U.S.
imported roughly 245
million barrels of crude
oil and petroleum products from Russia — a
one-year increase of
24%, according to the
U.S. Energy Information Administration.
“It’s an important
step to show Russia
that energy is on the
table,” said Max Bergmann, a former State
Department ofﬁcial
who is now a senior fellow at the Democraticleaning Center for
American Progress.
Bergmann said it
wasn’t surprising that
the U.S. was able to
take this step before
European nations,
which are more
dependent on Russian
energy.
“All of this is being
done in coordination,
even if the steps are not
symmetrical,” he said.
“We are talking to them
constantly.”
The news of Biden’s
decision Tuesday
was ﬁrst reported by
Bloomberg.
The White House
announcement comes
amid bipartisan pressure on Capitol Hill to
ban Russian energy and
impose other economic
costs.
Last week, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi
gave a big boost when
she declared, “Ban it.”
