Prosecutors say that after Chansley climbed up to the dais where Vice President Mike Pence had been presiding moments earlier, Chansley wrote a threatening note to Pence that said: “It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.” Pence and other congressional leaders had been ushered out of the chamber by the Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police before the rioters stormed into the room. “Strong evidence, including Chansley’s own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government,” prosecutors wrote in their memo urging the judge to keep Chansley behind bars. Gerald Williams, Chansley’s attorney, didn’t return a phone call and email Friday morning seeking comment. A detention hearing is scheduled in his case for later Friday. The FBI has been investigating whether any of the rioters had plots to kidnap members of Congress and hold them hostage, focusing particularly on the men seen carrying plastic zip tie handcuffs and pepper spray. Prosecutors raised a similar prospect on Friday in the case of a former Air Force officer who they alleged carried plastic zip-tie handcuffs because he intended “to take hostages.” But so far, the Justice Department has not publicly released any specific evidence on the plots or explained how the rioters planned to carry them out.

Shull’s buzzer-beater lifts Rio to 3OT win By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing PIPPA PASSES, Ky.Andrew Shull drained a turnaround jumper in traffic as time expired, lifting the University of Rio Grande to a 97-96 triple-overtime victory over Alice Lloyd College, Wednesday night, at the Perry Campus Center. The RedStorm improved to 7-6 with a second straight win. Alice Lloyd dropped to 7-2 with the loss. It’s unclear as to how long it’s been since a Rio Grande team played in a triple overtime game. Athletic department records, which are incomplete, don’t show a triple overtime contest dating back as far as the 1980-81 season. Wednesday’s marathon see-saw affair featured a staggering 14 ties and 15 lead changes. The RedStorm never led by more than four points at any stage of the game, while the Eagles’ biggest lead of the night - 10 points - came inside the game’s opening three minutes. Rio Grande twice led by three points in the third extra session, including 95-92 after a bucket by Shull - a freshman from Milton, West Virginia - with 1:22 remaining, but a layup by ALC’s Bryce Slone with 55 seconds left and basket by Damon Tobler with just nine seconds left put the hosts in front, 96-95. Tobler actually had a chance to extend the lead by one point, but failed to complete the conventional three-point play at the foul line and Rio freshman Leo Lin (Taipei, Taiwan) came away with the rebound. Shull collected Lin’s outlet pass and raced up the floor where, just to the right of the lane, he ran into a trio of Eagle defenders. He backed up a half-step, turned and lofted a high-arcing jumper over a sea of outstretched arms and the ball nestled into the net as the final horn sounded. Rio Grande forced the game into overtime when sophomore Miki Tadic (Hilversum, The Netherlands) nailed a pair of free throws with 5.4 seconds left in regulation to knot the score at 74-all. The RedStorm scored the first four points of the first overtime before ALC stormed back with six straight points of their own to take an 80-78 advantage after a jumper in the lane by Tobler with 56 seconds left. Tadic connected on a short jumper in the paint just 17 seconds later to tie the game at 80-80 and the Eagles misfired on a pair of jumpers in the final 10 seconds to send the contest to overtime No. 2. Rio grabbed an 86-83 edge on a bucket by sophomore Shiloah Blevins (South Webster, OH) with 3:25 left to play, but another score by Tobler with 2:46 remaining forged an 86-all deadlock and neither team scored for the remainder of the overtime. Alice Lloyd did have another chance to win at the end of the second extra period, but Chandler Stewart’s jumper as time expired was off the mark. Tadic scored a game- and careerhigh 34 points to lead Rio Grande, despite fouling out with 1:35 left in the second overtime. Blevins finished with a career-high 27 points to go along with a team-best 10 rebounds and two blocked shots, while Shull tallied 18 points and handed out a game-high six assists. The RedStorm shot just 29.6 percent from three-point range (8-for-27) and were outrebounded 51-37, but shot 46.8 percent overall (37-for-79) and finished 15-for-17 at the foul line (88.2%) Rio Grande also had just 12 turnovers. Noah Young led four double-digit scorers for ALC with 20 points, while Slone and Stewart had 16 points apiece and Tobler finished with 15. Will Philpot added a game-high 14 rebounds and two blocks in a losing cause, while Young also totaled six assists. The Eagles also shot 46 percent from the floor overall (37-for-80), but went just 17-for-25 at the charity stripe (68.0%). Rio Grande is slated to return to action on Saturday afternoon when it hosts Ohio Christian University at the Newt Oliver Arena. Tipoff is slated for 1 p.m. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

The River Valley girls basketball team had its four-game winning streak ended on Wednesday, as the Lady Raiders dropped a 63-30 decision to Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division host Alexander. River Valley (8-5, 4-2 TVC Ohio) was held to three points in the opening period, and Alexander (8-1, 4-1) led by 17 eight minutes into play. The margin was still 17 at halftime, with each team scoring 10 in the second quarter. The Lady Spartans outscored RVHS 12-to-9 in the third period, and headed into the finale with a 42-22 advantage.

The library’s connection to community Children’s programs utilize technology amid pandemic By Lorna Hart Special to OVP POMEROY — Finding fun and educational activities for children can be difficult, especially during these times of social distancing and cancellation of many in person activities. The Meigs County District Public Library took up the challenge of filling this need by finding new and creative ways to present their children’s programs. Children’s Services Coordination Emily Sanders and Children’s Assistant Anna Wears, known as Miss Emily and Miss Anna by the children who frequently participate in their programs, wanted to maintain a connection to the community. During the initial lock down the library closed, and many felt the void. With the re-opening there were concerns of the safety in group settings, and this fall the library again closed most of their inperson activities due to the surge in COVID-19 cases. During it all, Miss Anna and Miss Emily have continued their programs using technology and creativity. They believe it is very important to stay connected with their smallest patrons. “We want them to continue to enjoy reading, or being read to, and having fun with books. Our goal is to keep the library connected with the community, let them know we are here to provide assistance and resources,” said Miss Emily. “We have moved our children’s programs online, so they can still participate at home.” They are also providing craft kits for children to make at home. “We had an overwhelming response at Christmas,” Miss Emily said. “Typically, we have about 100 who participate in our Gingerbread House craft. This year we offered take home kits, and a total of over 350 were picked up.” Many sent pictures of themselves with their completed houses, and Miss Anna and Miss Emily were able to respond, again staying connected even though not in person. “It was so wonderful to see the kids enjoy the project,” Miss Emily said. “We offer a craft each month, right now we are working on Valentine’s Day.” An example of the library’s reading programs is Wiggle Giggle Read, designed for ages zero to three. This program introduces the youngest of library users to reading. “Moving and shaking is encouraged, “Miss Emily said. “We use music and rhymes along with short stories, and encourage the adult’s caregivers to interact with the little ones. We want everyone to have fun and enjoy. We feel it is a very positive way to introduce children to books.” Story Time, a stable of the library’s preschool crowd, is also now available on Facebook and YouTube.

Upon reaching the goal, children receive a certificate of completion — Meigs County Libraries are also now part of the Ohio Governors Imagination Library. Following registration, each child receives a new book in the mail each month until age 5.

Miss Anna and Miss Emily want the community to know there are many resources available to both children and adults. Visits are still made to area preschools either in person or on Zoom, and the library will work to provide books specifically targeted to your child’s interests or their current academic studies. “That’s what the library is for, that is what we do, “said Miss Emily. “If you aren’t comfortable coming inside, we can schedule curbside pickup for books and crafts.

When a hunter checks game without a clear signal, harvest information is recorded and stored until the hunter moves to a location with better reception. Users can also purchase licenses and permits and view wildlife area maps through the app. HuntFish OH is free and available for Android and iOS users through the app store. said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. “Hunting with a muzzleloader is rooted in history, while modern advances will satisfy even the most tech savvy hunters.
