A key difference is that under Biden, the federal government is assuming full responsibility for the COVID response. And instead of delegating major tasks to states, he is offering to help them with technical backup and federal money. He faces steep obstacles, with the virus actively spreading in most states, slow progress on the vaccine rollout and political uncertainty over whether congressional Republicans will help See ORDERS | 3 Advisory regarding fraudulent unemployment claims Staff Report By Rob Gillies ity unionized, will be Associated Press eliminated in the coming weeks. “We will begin a safe and orderly shutTORONTO — Condown of construction,” struction on the long he said. disputed Keystone First proposed in 2008, XL oil pipeline halted Wednesday as incoming the pipeline has become U.S. President Joe Biden emblematic of the tenrevoked its permit on his sions between economic development and curbing first day in office. the fossil fuel emissions The 1,700-mile that are causing climate (2,735-kilometer) pipechange.

OVB, as well as other businesses, have seen examples where fraudulent unemployment claims are being attempted at both small and large businesses. The information used by the scammers is limited but can be partially accurate information, such as name,” Ryan Jones, OVB senior vice president, chief risk officer, said. “If one is a victim to a fraudulent unemployment claim, we suggest you contact Job and Family Services Fraud Department and your local police department to report the activity. Every consumer needs to be aware of the various methods used to obtain personal information through social media platforms, emails and phone calls. Do not provide any personal information to someone who contacted you ‘out See CLAIMS | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, January 22, 2021 Fire claims one life, 2nd person injured Staff Report GALLIPOLIS FERRY, W.Va. — Two people were reportedly injured on Thursday in an earlymorning structure fire in Gallipolis Ferry, W.Va. with one of those victims later passing away. According to Point Pleasant Fire Chief Jeremy Bryant, his department received the call of a working structure fire at 5:26 a.m. in the 190-block of Rich Street. Upon arrival, Bryant said the mobile home was fully involved and two adults (a man and a woman) were out of the structure, being helped by neighbors. Bryant said the two people suffered “serious injuries” and were initially treated by personnel with Mason County EMS, transported to a local hospital and then flown by air medical helicopter to a health care facility in Pittsburgh, Pa. The female patient later died, and the male patient was reported to be in critical condition at press time, according to Bryant. In addition to firefighters from Point Pleasant, providing mutual aid on the scene were the Gallipolis, Ohio and Valley fire departments. In addition to EMS, the Mason County Sheriff’s Department also responded to the scene. Bryant said at this time, the fire does not appear suspicious and the cause is under investigation by the office of the West Virginia State Fire Marshal which is standard protocol. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. OBITUARIES CECIL R. DUNCAN, SR. NEW HAVEN, W.Va. — Cecil R. Duncan, Sr., 81, of New Haven, W.Va., went home to be with the Lord on January 20, 2021, at Mount Carmel — St. Ann’s Hospital in Westerville, Ohio. He was born February 10, 1939, in Hartford, W.Va., to the late Stanley and Thelma Duncan. Cecil served in the West Virginia National Guard in the 3664th Ordinance Company from 1957 to 1967. He retired from the AEP Philip Sporn Plant after thirty- of the blue.’ If you question the conversation, do a call back before you give any information out over the phone or email.” In these instances of fraud, scammers are using the IDs of individuals to apply for unemployment. To make their case, scammers claim that the employer is someone the victim of identity theft is currently working for or recently retired from. According to the FBI, scammers use a variety of techniques to obtain the victim’s information, including the following methods: online purchases of stolen personally identifiable information; previous data breaches; computer intrusions; cold-calling victims while using impersonation scams; email phishing schemes; physical theft of data from individuals or third parties; and from public websites and social media accounts. Typically the victim does not become aware of the situation until their employer asks them why they filed the unemployment claim or until they try to file a claim for unemployment insurance only to receive a notification from the state unemployment insurance agency. In some cases victims may receive an IRS form 1099-G showing the benefits collected from unemployment insurance. The information contained with the fraudulent claim is quite limited and usually only includes a name and the last four digits of the victim’s tax ID. Again, if a person believes they may be a victim of this scam, they should contact law enforcement and report the incident to the local Job and Family Services as well as the current employer. In addition, victims are advised to contact the three major credit bureaus to get a fraud alert placed on their credit records. Victims are also encouraged to notify the Internal Revenue Service by filing an Identity Theft Affidavit. For more information, visit http://www.irs.gov/. The FBI advises individuals to be aware of the following red flags, which could indicate they have been a victim of the unemployment claim scam: · Receiving communications regarding unemployment insurance forms when you have not applied for unemployment benefits. · Unauthorized transactions on your bank or credit card statements related to unemployment benefits. · Any fees involved in filing or qualifying for unemployment insurance. · Unsolicited inquiries related to unemployment benefits. · Fictitious websites and social media pages mimicking those of government agencies. Businesses should also be aware of these fraudulent claims. If a claim is received, local Job and Family Services will contact the business to verify the victim’s employment. Businesses are advised to verify the employee’s address as the scammer often uses a different address as they would be the ones seeking to receive payment. While most larger companies seem to be targeted, all businesses can be impacted by this scam. In the event that a check was issued before verifying with the victim’s employer, businesses should contact Job and Family Services immediately to request a stop payment. To avoid becoming a victim yourself, monitor your bank account regularly for fraudulent activity. In addition, be wary of phone calls, text messages, letters or emails that require you to input personal information, such as social security numbers. In addition, as always, be cautious when opening attachments or clicking on links. Information provided by Ohio Valley Bank. four years of service.

The CremeensKing Funeral Home, 75 Grape St., Gallipolis, is entrusted with the arrangements. Halted has a stake in the project. “It is a insult directed at the United States most important ally and trading partner on day one of a new administration,” Kenney said. “The leader of our closest ally retroactively vetoed approval for a pipeline that exists and which is co-owned by From page 1 President’s decision to fulfil his election campaign promise on Keystone XL,” Trudeau said in a statement. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden will call Trudeau on Friday, the first call with a foreign leader after Biden took the oath of office. Psaki said the pipeline will be discussed. Trudeau raised Keystone XL as a top priority when he spoke with Biden in a phone call in November. The project is meant to expand critical oil exports for Canada, which has the thirdlargest oil reserves in the world and is America’s number one source of foreign oil. Trudeau and Biden are politically aligned and there are expectations for a return to normal relations after four years of Trump, but the pipeline is an early irritant as Biden has long said he would cancel it. “Despite President Biden’s decision on the project, we would like to welcome other executive orders made today, including the decisions to rejoin the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization, to place a temporary moratorium on all oil and natural gas leasing activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to reverse the travel ban on several Muslimmajority countries,” Trudeau said in his statement. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said Biden’s decision is a gut punch for his province, which Canadian government, directly attacking by far the largest part of the Canada U.S. trade relationship, which is our energy industry and exports.” Critics of the Alberta oil sands say the growing operations increase greenhouse gas emissions and threaten Alberta’s rivers and forests.

Asked about that at federal mandate, leaving the White House on Thursday, Biden told a reporter: “When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible. Come on, give me a break, man.” The Democratic president has directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to begin setting up vaccination centers, aiming to have 100 up and running in a month. He’s ordering the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to begin a program to make vaccines available through local pharmacies starting next month, building on a plan devised by the Trump administration. And he’s launching an effort to train more people to administer shots.

Getting schools and child care going will help ease the drag on the U.S. economy, making it easier for parents to return to their jobs and for restaurants to find lunch-time customers. But administration officials stressed that reopening schools safely depends on increased testing. Biden is giving government agencies a green light to use the Cold War-era Defense Production Act to direct manufacturing. It allows the government to direct private industry to produce supplies needed in times of national emergency. In this case it could be anything from swabs, to masks, to certain chemicals. “We do not have nearly enough testing capacity in this country,” said White House DHHR reports a total of 1,801,381 lab test have been completed, with a 5.52 cumulative percent positivity rate.

The Biden plan estimates that a national vaccination strategy with expanded testing requires $160 billion, and he wants an additional $170 billion to aid the reopening of schools and universities. The proposal also calls for major investment in scientific research to track new variants of the virus. As part of his strategy, Biden ordered establishment of a Health Equity Task Force to ensure that minority and underserved communities are not left out of the government’s response. Blacks, Latinos and Native Americans have borne a heavy burden of death and disease from the virus. Surveys have shown vaccine hesitancy is high among African Americans, a problem the administration plans to address through an education campaign. But Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith, the top White House health adviser on minority communities, said she’s not convinced that race is a factor in vaccination reluctance. Disparities seem to have more to do with risky jobs and other life circumstances. “It’s not inherent to race,” she said. “It’s from the exposures.” CLASSIFIEDS Get the most LEGALS Legals On June 1, 2020 Vandalia Media Partners 2, LLC filed an application with the Federal Communications Commission for the renewal of Radio Station WJEH (AM).

The three were picked in the first round by teams coming off a playoff berth in moves that Green Bay, Kansas City and Buffalo surely don’t regret. The Packers took Aaron Rodgers 24th overall in 2005 despite having Brett Favre on the roster. Favre had led Green Bay to a 10-win season and playoff berth in 2004 and remained the starter for Rodgers’ first three seasons. The Packers then made Rodgers the starter in 2008 and have made the playoffs 10 times since then with one Super Bowl title. The Chiefs made their move for a quarterback in 2017 after back-to-back playoff appearances the previous two years with Alex Smith as their starter. Kansas City traded up 17 spots to take Mahomes and gave him the starting role in 2018. All Mahomes has done in that time is win the 2018 MVP award, get named Super Bowl MVP last year and put the Chiefs in position to get back there this season. The pick Kansas City got to take Mahomes came from Buffalo, which ended up with star cornerback Tre’Davious White that season along with extra first- and third-rounders. The Bills then traded up five spots the next year to draft Allen, who has emerged as a star this season. Since 2000, a playoff team has used a firstround pick on a quarterback seven times overall. The Broncos did it twice, taking Jay Cutler in 2006 after making it to the AFC title game with Jake Plummer the previous season, and then Paxton Lynch in 2016 after winning the Super Bowl in Peyton Manning’s final season before retirement. The Texans did it in 2017, trading up for Deshaun Watson after making it to the playoffs the previous year with Brock Osweiler, and the Packers did it this past season when they drafted Jordan Love. TOM TERRIFIC: Tom Brady can join some illustrious company with a win this week for another Super Bowl appearance. Brady will appear in his staggering 14th conference title game in 19 seasons as a starter when Tampa Bay visits Green Bay on Sunday. Brady won nine of those previous 13 conference championship games when he was in New England and can become the first football player to appear in 10 NFL title games with a win. Only a handful of players have made it to the championship round 10 times in Major League Baseball or the NBA, including some of the most iconic names in both sports. Yogi Berra has the most with 14 World Series appearances, followed by Mickey Mantle (12), Whitey Ford (11), and Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Elston Howard (10 each). In the NBA, Bill Russell is the leader with 12 appearances, followed by Celtics teammate Sam Jones with 11. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and LeBron James each have 10, with James reaching that mark last season. NOT SO SWEET HOME: For the third straight year, the New Orleans Saints’ season ended with a playoff loss at home. After dropping the NFC title game to the Rams in the 2018 season thanks in large part to a blown call at the end of regulation, and then losing again in overtime to Minnesota last season, the Saints fell short on Sunday against Tampa Bay after committing four turnovers in a game for the first time since 2016.

Cleveland’s long search for a franchise quarterback appears to be over. “We’re very, very pleased with him,” general manager Andrew Berry said Wednesday. However, while praising Mayfield’s improvement and growth in his third season, Berry wouldn’t publicly comment on the team’s future plans with the 25-yearold. The Browns can pick up Mayfield’s fifth-year option this offseason and Jeff Roberson | AP file Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry praised quarterback Baker Mayfield’s improvement and growth in his third season but wouldn’t publicly comment Wednesday on the team’s plans with the 25-year-old. The Browns can pick up Mayfield’s fifth-year option this offseason and possibly sign him to a longterm extension. possibly sign him to a long-term extension. “I don’t think that this is really the appropriate forum to really talk about those decisions,” Berry said during a Zoom call wrapping up the Browns’ season, which ended Sunday with a 22-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round. ”That’s something that’s a little more personal to me, the player and the agent. “What I can tell you is really I’d echo the comments I had last week with Baker. He did an excellent job this year, right? He led us to the first playoff appearance in eons. He got 12 wins, played winning football all year, developed a really strong relationship with (coach) Kevin (Stefanski) and the offensive staff and really grew before See BROWNS | 10 Reed Hoffmann | AP Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) throws a pass in front of Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson, right, during the second half Sunday in Kansas City. Chiefs’ Mahomes remains in concussion protocol KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol Wednesday, but practiced in a limited capacity, raising hopes that the reigning Super Bowl MVP can play in Sunday’s AFC title game against Buffalo. The Chiefs typically breeze through their midweek practice with little contact before ramping things up with their longest workout Thursday, and coach Andy Reid said afterward that fit perfectly with what Mahomes was able to do. “He looked good,” Reid said. “He’s in the protocol so there’s only certain things he can do, but he took all the snaps and he feels good. So, I mean, we’re just going to follow this protocol as close as we possibly can.” There are five steps in the league’s return-toplay protocol: rest until signs and symptoms return to baseline clearance to begin cardio; stretching and balance training with medical oversight; an increase in exercises that includes monitored strength training; the resumption of non-contact football activities; and finally, the player is cleared by team physicians and passes an independent neurological exam, at which point he is cleared to practice and play. Reid didn’t specify which step Mahomes was in Wednesday, but the work he described coincides with the fourth step. If all goes well, that could mean the Chiefs’ quarterback is cleared to participate more fully in practice Thursday or Friday. “He’s done well up to this point and they just progress you through the day,” Reid said, “so today was limited work and no contact, I think was the schedule for today. And that’s kind of what we’re doing on Wednesday, so it fit perfectly with that.” Mahomes was hurt in the third quarter of last Sunday’s 22-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns when he was tackled around the neck while keeping the ball on a quarterback option. His head did not appear to strike the ground hard — if at all — and that led to reports that he had tweaked a nerve that runs up the neck. Chad Henne finished the game and would be the starter if Mahomes was unable to play against the Bills. “It’s definitely not the easiest if you don’t get the reps during the week,” Henne said, “but mentally you have to stay in it. When Patrick was in last week, during every practice, Matt (Moore) and I are in the back doing our drops, our progressions. That doesn’t change. After practice we get the throws we need that Patrick took and we go about our business.” The return of Mahomes was only the start of the positive injury news for Kansas City. Defensive back Bashaud Breeland, who also left the Browns game with a concussion, got in some limited work as the Chiefs moved practice from outdoors inside because of gusty winds. The availability of their No. 1 cornerback is important with Bills quarterback Josh Allen riding a hot streak and All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs coming to town. Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and wide receiver Sammy Watkins also practiced Wednesday, which means the Chiefs could have a full complement of playmakers regardless of their quarterback for the first time in weeks. Edwards-Helaire, who was fourth among rookies with 1,100 yards from scrimmage this season, sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 15 against New Orleans and missed the final two games of the regular season. He returned to practice last Wednesday but was held out the next two days, and he was inactive for the Chiefs’ playoff game against Cleveland. The injury-prone Watkins hurt his calf muscle in Week 15 against Atlanta. He sat out the regularseason finale and did not practice last week, joining Edwards-Helaire on the inactive list for the Browns. “It’ll be good to have both of those guys back,” Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman said. “Hopefully they can play with us and take the necessary steps to be fully healthy or healthy enough to get some production from them.” �COMICS 8 Friday, January 22, 2021 BLONDIE Ohio Valley Publishing By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO � Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner � ���� � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � � � � Hank Ketcham’s � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� %\�'DYH�*UHHQ see what’s brewing on the job market.

He had a really strong season.” The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2018, Mayfield made better decisions on the field this season and showed more maturity off it. After an inconsistent start, Mayfield threw 20 touchdown passes and three interceptions in his last 12 games. The Browns have until May to pick up Mayfield’s fifth-year option, which is expected to be around $20 million and will be guaranteed under the collective bargaining agreement reached last year. Assuming the Browns believe in Mayfield, and there’s no evidence they don’t, it would make sense for the team to lock him up with a multi-year contract. Mayfield may not be an elite quarterback, but he’s resolved the biggest stumbling block over the past two decades for the Browns, who went through 29 starting QBs before they picked the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner. He’s far from a finished product, but Mayfield showed this season that he’s determined to get better. “You saw growth from him as a player from the first game to the last,” Stefanski said. “Really pleased with his progress, and I think he recognizes that he has room to grow like we all do. It is just having that mindset that he is going to constantly improve.” GOAT, regardless of how many Super Bowl are won.” Rodgers’ brilliant season Aaron Rodgers’ Green Bay has included just one outright dud.

Green Bay has finished the regular season 13-3 each of the past two years, but looks far more imposing this time around. “A lot of people didn’t think we’d be back here after last season,” Rodgers said. “We got a lot of interesting comments last year about us being the worst 13-3 team that people had seen. Not the same type of comments this year. Obviously we’re clicking a lot better on offense.” This may represent the 37-year-old Rodgers’ best chance to get back to another Super Bowl, though he says he isn’t dwelling on his future with so much at stake right now. “I hope there’s more opportunities, but I don’t know,” Rodgers said. “I mean, I really don’t. That stuff is out of my control. My future is a beautiful mystery, I think. The present is such a gift to be able to stay in the moment and to have gratitude for being in this situation again, and being with the guys and having fans in our stadium and maybe snow in an NFC championship game.

In the Packers’ other 16 games, he has completed 71.9% of his passes for 4,435 yards with 50 touchdowns and three interceptions. He has been picked off just five times in 562 pass attempts this season (526 in the regular season, 36 in a playoff victory over the Los Angeles Rams). His only other multi-interception game over the past three seasons came when he was picked off twice in last year’s NFC championship game loss at San Francisco. “When you throw five interceptions and throw the ball 526 times, that’s amazing,” said Rich Gannon, a former NFL quarterback who now works for CBS Sports. “You’re going to get the ball tipped, deflected. Balls are going to go through the hands of a receiver. Something bad going’s to happen. Yet he’s thrown five picks. I think in the last three years, he’s thrown 11 picks. Think about that. You throw 38 touchdown passes and 11 picks in a season, you’d think that’s pretty good. 11 picks in three years. “He’s been the best in the last decade at ball security. There’s no one who’s been better.” This marks Rodgers’ fourth NFC championship game appearance over the record set by Seattle (2012-15).
