These thugs cannot and will not run us off. We will continue to govern.” — U.S. Senator Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) via Facebook “My staff and I are safe. The violence at the Capitol needs to end now. The lives of countless workers – journalists, staff, and Capitol Police are being put at risk by this attack on our democracy.” — U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) via Facebook “The right to protest peacefully is protected under the Constitution but the actions by violent mobs against our law enforcement and property at the US Capitol building today are not.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said lawmakers were resuming the counting of electoral votes Wednesday evening after the Capitol was cleared of the pro-Trump occupiers. The president gave his supporters an added boost Wednesday morning during an appearance at a rally outside the White House, where he urged them to march to the Capitol. He spent much of the afternoon in his private dining room off the Oval Office watching scenes of the violence on television. At the urging of his staff, he reluctantly issued a pair of tweets and a taped video telling his supporters it was time to “go home in peace” — yet he still said he backed their cause. A somber Presidentelect Biden, two weeks away from being inaugurated, said American democracy was “under unprecedented assault,” a sentiment echoed by many in Congress, including some Republicans. Former President George W. Bush said he watched the events in “disbelief and dismay.” The domed Capitol building has for centuries been the scene of protests and occasional violence, including a 1954 shooting involving Puerto Rican nationalists. But Wednesday’s events were particularly astounding both because they unfolded at least initially with the implicit blessing of the president and because of the underlying goal of overturning the results of a free and fair presidential election. Tensions were already running high when lawmakers gathered early Wednesday afternoon for the constitutionally mandated counting of the Electoral College results, in which Biden defeated Trump, 306-232.

JARVIS JACKSON — John T. Jarvis, age 86, of Jackson, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2021, at Four Winds Community due to the coronavirus (COVID). He was born July 23, 1934 in McArthur, Ohio to the late George Alfred and Laura (Wortman) Jarvis. John was a 1952 graduate of McArthur High School. At the tender age of six years old, John knew he wanted to be a farmer and raise cattle. This is a dream he pursued for 60 years, showing an award-winning herd of registered Jerseys at many national, county and state shows under his father’s Maple Spring Jersey Farm and later his Vega Jersey Farm. John retired from building pole and steel structures and his hobby was research of Masonic history. He spent more than 60 years in Vinton County, and later moved to Gallia County where he resided for more than 20 years. John was a member of Delta Lodge #207 F&AM; McArthur Chapter #102 RAM; Trowel Council #71 Royal and Select Masons; Jackson Commandery #53 Knights Templar; Sereno Chapter #128, Order of the Eastern Star; Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Valley of Columbus; Aladdin Temple Shrine Club, Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem, Hocking Valley White Shrine #51 and Taberah Shrine Club. For more than 50 years, John served with distinction all the Masonic Orders of the Free and Accepted Masons and was recognized with many honors including the Knight of the York Cross of Honour. John was honorably discharged in 1956 from the United States Army as a SP3, and was a lifetime member of the American Jersey Cattle Club. He was a 4-H alumnus and served 20+ years as a 4-H advisor in Vinton County. John was one of the original five Vinton County residents who started the Vinton County Junior Fair. He is survived by his wife, Rosalie (Bostic) Jarvis. John was blessed with and is survived by five beautiful children: Donna Lynn Jarvis (Chris) Miller of Alexandria, VA., Earl Thomas (Pam) Jarvis of Ray, Janell Lucille (Dan) Thompson of McArthur, Kenneth Alfred (Linda) Jarvis of Jackson and Ruth Laureen Jarvis (Dale Graves, finance) of McArthur. He is also survived by six grandchildren: Ross (Debbie) Miller, Adam (Scarlet) Jarvis, Danielle (Tom) Ramage, Hannah Thompson, Chad (Lauren) Cordial and Rachael (Josh) Brewer, and 12 great-grandchildren: Katie, Ryan and Julie Miller, Ella, Sadie and Meredith Jarvis, Isaac, Clara and Lucas Ramage, Skylar and Chase Cordial, and Anderson Kace Brewer. Additionally, he is survived by his sister, Rose Ann (Jarvis) Bobo; as well as many nieces, nephews and “adopted” children who considered him dad, all of whom he held dear to his heart. In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by the mother of his children, Glenna Eileen (Miller) Jarvis, two grandchildren born into Heaven; brothers, Charles Robert, George Francis, Emmett Clyde, John William and William Lawrence; sisters, Cora Elizabeth Turner and Faye Lucille Alexander; and nephew, Harry Dale Turner. The family would like to extend their tremendous gratitude and appreciation for wonderful, gentle care, kindness, and grace provided by Four Winds Community and their incredible staff in the care of John. An open Masonic service and private graveside services will be held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Vinton County 4-H Council.

Thursday, January 7, 2021 3 Dayton mayor won’t seek reelection; higher office run likely CINCINNATI (AP) — Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley said Wednesday she won’t seek a third term, raising expectations that the Ohio Democrat will seek higher office. Whaley made her announcement two days after criticizing Republican Gov. Mike DeWine for signing a “stand your ground” law. However, she told The Associated Press she had already made her decision about the 2021 election over the holidays. When DeWine signed a gun rights bill Monday eliminating a duty to retreat before using force, Whaley said he caved to GOP extremists. After the Aug. 4, 2019, mass shooting in Dayton’s Oregon entertainment district that killed nine people and wounded at least two dozen more, she and DeWine had pledged to work together to change gun laws. “Our state needs principled leaders who will stand up for what is right — not what is politically easy,” Whaley tweeted Monday. “I feel like I’ve lost a partner in that work,” Whaley said Wednes- Protests because the security of the U.S. Capitol has been breached by a violent mob.

Whaley said she loves being mayor of Dayton, but noted that after two earlier terms on council, this will be her 16th year in city government.

Beating the Pittsburgh Steelers is priority No. 1. “We’ve got to find a way,” Stefanski said. Cleveland’s first-year coach, who has guided the Browns back to the postseason for the first time since the 2002 season, met with reporters over Zoom on Wednesday, a day after his positive test for COVID-19. Stefanski won’t be able to coach the Browns on Sunday, and the team will also be without Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio and at least two other assistant coaches. Cleveland has nine rotational players and five coaches currently on the COVID-19 list, but some may be back in time for the game. Not Stefanski, who can only work virtually with his team this week.

The 38-year-old said he feels fine and said that his young family is also healthy. Stefanski expressed disappointment and frustration that he won’t be able to join his team at Heinz Field on Sunday night for the wild-card game. But Stefanski, who has juggled distractions attached with the pandemic for months, remained confident the Browns will be ready. “Disappointing for any of the guys that can’t be involved in this,” he said. “We had a team meeting yesterday just to reassure them that we’ve got a job to do. We’ll make sure we keep everybody is safe first and foremost and then we’ll get back to work and put a plan together to go on the road against a really good football team. “Really pretty simple.” The Browns did not have any new COVID19 cases on Wednesday, but the team’s training facility in Berea, Ohio, remains closed as con- tact tracing continues. So instead of practicing on the field for the Steelers, the Browns are holding a virtual walkthrough — not ideal, but not too different in this unique season. Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, who previously worked with Stefanski in Minnesota, will serve as Cleveland’s acting head coach. Stefanski said Priefer was an easy choice. “With Coach Priefer, it always makes sense, the special teams coordina- tor deals with everybody on the team, coaches every player,” he said. “So I think it’s a very natural place to go in an interim setting there where he can not miss a beat, and then you let the offensive and defensive coaches focus on their side of the ball. “So, ton of confidence in Coach Priefer, he knows this team very, very well from a roster standpoint, also based on how we play. So I have a full amount of confidence in him.” Virus issues at Ohio St raise specter of CFP delay By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said Tuesday the national championship game between Alabama and Ohio State is still a go for Monday night amid a report that the Buckeyes are having COVID-19 issues. AL.com reported that Ohio State has been in contact with CFP officials about possible player availability problems that could force the game to be delayed. Those discussions were confirmed to The Associated Press by a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because no one had been authorized to speak publicly about the details. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement that the Buckeyes continue to follow the same protocols they have all season. “We plan to play January 11,” Smith said. Ohio State athletic department spokesman Jerry Emig said the Buckeyes did practice Tuesday. Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne posted on Twitter that he and Smith have had multiple conversations. “Both schools are focused on playing in the CFBPlayoff Championship Game on January 11th,” Byrne said. Hancock said there were no changes and the game in Miami Gardens, Florida, between the topranked Crimson Tide and the thirdranked Buckeyes was still scheduled for Monday night as planned. Hancock has previously said Jan. 18 is a potential makeup date if necessary. The pandemic threatened to shut down major college football altogether in the summer, but a season was played through dozens of postponements and cancellations, and with teams getting through games shorthanded because of the virus. About 87% of the regular-season Bowl Subdivision schedule was played. For Ohio State, though, it has been an especially bumpy road. The Big Ten initially canceled the fall football season in August, only to reverse course in September. The conference kicked off in late October but left no room in the nine-week schedule for makeup games. The Buckeyes had three games called off, two for COVID-19 issues with their opponents and one due to their own problems. Ohio State played its final regular-season game and the Big Ten championship game missing more than 20 players for each. Coach Ryan Day tested positive and was not with the team for its game against Michigan State on Dec. 5. The Buckeyes made the playoff after playing only six games and with the Big Ten changing the minimum number of games needed to qualify for the championship. Ohio State’s unavailable players list shrunk last week for the Sugar Bowl against Clemson, and the Buckeyes beat the Tigers 49-28. Alabama made it through its season relatively unscathed by the virus. The Tide had one game postponed because of LSU’s COVID-19 issues, but it was later made up. Coach Nick Saban tested positive for the virus and was forced to miss Alabama’s rivalry game against Auburn. Smith becomes 1st WR to win Heisman in 29 years NEW YORK (AP) — On an Alabama team stacked with stars, DeVonta Smith emerged as the best player in college football while playing a position that rarely gets that kind of recognition. Smith became the first wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy in 29 seasons Tuesday night, breaking the monopoly quarterbacks have had on the award by beating out three of them. “Just to be one of the very few that played receiver to win the Heisman, it means a lot to me,” Smith said. Smith finished with 447 first-place votes and 1,856 points to easily outdistance Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence (222, 1,187), Alabama teammate Mac Jones (138, 1,130) and Florida’s Kyle Trask (61, 737). Crimson Tide running back Najee Harris finished fifth in the voting, making No. 1 Alabama the second team in the 85-year history of the Heisman to have three of the top five vote-getters. Army did it in 1946 with Glenn Davis (first), Doc Blanchard (fourth) and Arnold Tucker (fifth). “I want to thank my teammates,” Smith said during his acceptance speech. “With team success comes individual success so without you all, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today, winning this award.” Smith is just the fourth receiver to win the Heisman, joining Michigan’s Desmond Howard in 1991, Notre Dame’s Tim Brown in 1987 and Nebraska’s Johnny Rodgers in 1972. Quarterbacks had won 17 of the previous 20 Heisman trophies, including the last four. Smith was presented the award in a virtual ceremony orchestrated by ESPN. The usual trip to New York for the finalists was called off because of the pandemic and the winner was announced later than it had ever been before. Smith accepted the trophy in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, decked out in a deep crimson jacket and shiny black bow tie. He got a big hug from his quarterback, who told Smith that he loved and was proud of him. Then Smith held back tears during his speech, recalling how many thought he was too small to become a football star. Smith is the third Alabama player to win the Heisman, all since 2009. Like Tide running backs Mark Ingram (‘09) and Derrick Henry (2015), Smith will play for the national championship as a Heisman winner. Alabama faces No. 3 Ohio State on Jan. 11 in the College Football Playoff title game in Miami Gardens, Florida. The Heisman voting was complete on Dec. 21, so playoff performances were not a factor. But Smith made those who supported him feel good about it with a brilliant threetouchdown game against Notre Dame in the CFP semifinals last weekend. Smith has 105 catches for 1,641 yards and 22 total touchdowns going into the final game of his college career — which will also be his third national championship game. Smith carved out a place in Alabama’s storied history as a freshman, catching the winning touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa on second-and-26 in overtime against Georgia to give the Tide the 2017 national championship. The story of the game was the guy who threw the walk-off TD pass. Tagovailoa became Alabama’s Heisman contender and most beloved player for the next two years. Smith was the overlooked star in the Tide’s talented 2017 class of receivers that included All-American Jerry Jeudy and the blazingly fast Henry Ruggs. Both of those players decided to skip their senior seasons and enter the draft last year. Both were selected in the first round. He returned to school to form an explosive combination for the Tide with junior Jaylen Waddle. Then Waddle went down with a season-ending leg injury on Oct. 24. As the Tide’s undisputed No. 1 receiver, Smith shined. The week after Waddle went out, Smith had 11 catches for 204 yards and four touchdowns against Mississippi State. Smith’s soaring onehanded TD grab against LSU was not just his signature play, but one of the 2020 season’s best. A former four-star recruit, Smith came to Tuscaloosa from LSU’s backyard, disappointing many Tigers’ fans in his hometown. The understated Smith quietly led the Tide in receptions and yards last year as a junior and became a second-team All-American. Smitty — as teammates and coaches call him — didn’t emerge as a Heisman contender this season until Waddle went down. And then he took off. Starting with that Mississippi State game, Smith went on a fourgame tear with 35 catches for 749 yards and 11 touchdowns that earned him another nickname: Slim Reaper. Whatever you want to call Smith, he’s been quite a catch for Alabama.

His campaign declined an interview request on Wednesday. Raised in a wealthy family in Atlanta, Ossoff was 16 when he read Lewis’ memoir about the civil rights movement, “Walking With the Wind.” He wrote a letter to Lewis, and Lewis offered him a summer job. Lewis referred him to Hank Johnson, an Atlanta-area attorney running for Congress in 2006. Ossoff, a Georgetown University graduate, became the fourth member of Johnson’s campaign staff. Lewis would continue to be a mentor. Ossoff worked for five years on Johnson’s Washington staff. In 2013, after Ossoff inherited money from his late grandfather, he invested in a small London-based film production company. Insight TWI finances investigative documentaries and sells them to broadcasters including the BBC. Ossoff is the company’s CEO. In a victory speech early Wednesday, Ossoff said he would follow the example set by Lewis. The Georgia Democrat died last year after serving in Congress for more than three decades. “This campaign has been about health and jobs and justice for the people of the state, for all the people of the state,” he said. “And they will be my guiding principles as I serve this state in the U.S. Senate.” TUESDAY Marietta 40/27 Wilkesville 42/27 POMEROY Jackson 42/29 42/27 Ravenswood Rio Grande 41/29 43/28 Centerville POINT PLEASANT Ripley 38/26 GALLIPOLIS 43/29 42/28 43/29 South Shore Greenup 41/30 41/27 38 0 50 100 150 200 Lucasville 41/29 MONDAY 39° 28° McArthur 39/25 Waverly 39/28 SUNDAY 37° 25° Adelphi 38/25 Chillicothe 38/28 a $15 minimum wage, a “public option” government health plan, and a new voting rights act to restore federal oversight of state election laws. He also launched a fierce attack on Perdue while shrugging off his opponent’s exaggerated claim that he was pursuing a “radical socialist agenda.” At a debate in October, he called the 71-year-old former corporate executive “a crook” who used the COVID-19 pandemic to protect his stock portfolio while downplaying the seriousness of the virus. Perdue insisted the allegations were false. Ossoff is smart, has a “good heart” and will work hard as a senator, said Sarah Riggs Amico, a fellow Democrat who ran for lieutenant governor in Georgia in 2018 and challenged Ossoff in the Senate primary. “The reality is government functions better when there are people from a wide variety of backgrounds who come to the table,” she said. Voter Kaitlynn Poborsky, 28, said she choose Ossoff because she is looking for change and a senator who is passionate about addressing the coronavirus and climate change. She did not have concerns about his age. “I think we need young people,” she said outside a polling site in downtown Atlanta on Tuesday. “People who are in office are too old.” Ossoff said his first race taught him the importance of grassroots campaigning and to ignore “the paint by numbers, garden variety nonsense that the GOP 38° 22° Shown is today’s weather.

He was in awe of Lewis’ life, he told The Associated Press in December, particularly how someone “so young” had achieved such a prominent position as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. At 33, the millennial Democrat will assume his own leadership mantle after being one of two candidates to help the party sweep Georgia’s crucial U.S. Senate runoff elections, a victory that sealed Democrats’ control of the chamber. Ossoff defeated Republican David Perdue in the runoff that was held Tuesday after neither he nor Perdue received 50% of the vote in November. This is Ossoff’s first election to public office, and he will be the youngest member of the Senate. But he has never let youth and inexperience be barriers to his aspirations. In 2017, at the age of 29, he ran for Congress in Georgia in a race closely watched as an early referendum on President Donald Trump. Though he lost, he shattered fundraising records and made the contest in a once reliably Republican district competitive. For his Senate campaign, he took a sharper approach.
