The California Democrat’s remarks came as the acting chief of the Capitol Police said separately that “vast improvements” are needed to protect the Capitol and adjacent office buildings, including permanent fencing. Such barricades have ringed the complex since the deadly Jan. 6 riot, but many lawmakers have long resisted giving the nation’s symbol of democracy the look of a besieged compound. Pelosi told reporters she thinks Congress will need to provide more money “for more security for members, when the enemy is within the House of Representatives, a threat that members are concerned about.” Asked to clarify what she meant, Pelosi said, “It means that we have members of Congress who want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress.” Pelosi’s remarks underscored how anxiety about security has remained high in Congress since Trump supporters’ Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, which led to five deaths. Lawmakers, including some who voted for this month’s House impeachment of Trump, have reported receiving threats. The apprehension has taken on clear partisan undertones. Some Republicans have loudly objected to having to pass through newly installed metal detectors before they enter the House chamber, while Pelosi has proposed fining lawmakers who bypass the devices. Pelosi did not say whom she meant by her reference to an “enemy” within the House, and a spokesperson provided no examples when asked. But first-term Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has liked Facebook posts that advocated for violence against Democrats and the FBI. One post suggested shooting Pelosi in the head. Asked to comment, Greene sent a written statement accusing Democrats and journalists of attacking her because she is “a threat to their goal of Socialism” and supports Trump and conservative values. “They want to take me out because I represent the people. And they absolutely hate it,” she said.

Sanders’ mittens, memes help raise $1.8M for charity About those wooly mittens that U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders wore to the presidential inauguration, sparking endless quirky memes across social media? They’ve helped to raise $1.8 million in the last five days for charitable organizations in Sanders’ home state of Vermont, the independent senator announced Wednesday. The sum comes from the sale of merchandise with the Jan. 20 image of him sitting with his arms and legs crossed, clad in his brown parka and recycled wool mittens. Sanders put the first of the so-called “Chairman Sanders” merchandise, including T-shirts, sweatshirts and stickers, on his campaign website Thursday night and the first run sold out in less than 30 minutes, he said. More merchandise was added over the weekend and sold out by Monday morning, he said. Sanders’ mittens were made by Jen Ellis, a Vermont elementary school teacher who has a side business making mittens out of recycled wool. His inauguration look, also featuring the winter jacket made by Burton Snowboards, sparked countless memes from the photo taken by Agence France-Presse: The former presidential candidate could be found on social media timelines taking a seat on the subway, the moon and the couch with the cast of “Friends,” among other creative locales. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, January 29, 2021 3 Groups ask commission to investigate ex-chairman By Mark Gillispie and Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Environmental advocacy groups asked the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio on Wednesday to expand its investigation of Ohio’s largest electric utility to include whether the commission’s former chairman was unduly influenced by the company, Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. A motion filed by attorneys for Chicago-based Environmental Law & Policy Center and the Ohio Environmental Council argues the utilities commission should expand and consolidate several cases, including a probe into charitable giving and political dona- tions made by FirstEnergy to support passage of scandal-tainted legislation that aimed to provide $1 billion in subsidies to two nuclear power plants once owned by a FirstEnergy subsidiary. The groups want the commission to investigate ties between the company and its former chairperson, Samuel Randazzo. Randazzo resigned as Ohio’s top utility regulator in November days after FBI agents searched his Columbus townhome and FirstEnergy revealed in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing that former top executives at the company paid $4 million in early 2019 to end a consulting contract to someone who fit Randazzo’s description. Randazzo became chairman of the utilities commission and the Ohio Power Siting Board, which regulates energy projects, in April 2019. FirstEnergy is the subject of multiple investigations after federal authorities alleged last July that the company funded a $60 million bribery scheme to get the legislation, known as HB6, approved and to prevent a referendum issue on the bailout from reaching the Ohio ballot. The former Ohio House speaker and four others were subsequently indicted on a federal racketeering conspiracy charge. Wednesday’s filing noted the firing of FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones and other top company executives last fall and other events that “further support” the utilities commission’s “duty to provide a robust investigation into the First Energy Utilities’ involvement in the passage of HB6.” “The PUCO seems to be waiting for the federal investigation and conducting only a limited investigation of its own. That’s not enough,” said Rob Kelter, a senior attorney for the Environmental Law & Policy Center, said in a statement. “If we’re going to protect Ohio ratepayers, the PUCO must widen its investigation to find out the exact nature of Sam Randazzo’s ties to FirstEnergy and its affiliates, how those companies guided House Bill 6 through the Legislature and how state officials let a utility set public policy.” The filing repeats a widely held belief that Randazzo helped write the bailout legislation. Messages were left Wednesday with two attorneys who represent FirstEnergy at the PUCO. Other open cases the groups want consolidated include requests by the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, the state’s consumer watchdog, that the commission reexamine cases from 2017. One case involves an audit to determine whether FirstEnergy complied with laws and regulations requiring its utility business affairs be kept separate from affiliated companies. The second is a request to reexamine how FirstEnergy spent $465 million collected from ratepayers for upgrading its local distribution systems. The money instead was used to fund a money pool from which FirstEnergy subsidiaries, including some located outside Ohio, could borrow from, improve the company’s financial position, and increase dividend payments to shareholders, a previous PUCO audit found. The PUCO when it approved the subsidy did not require the ompany to spend the money on distribution upgrades. The Ohio Supreme Court ruled the subsidy called a grid modernization rider illegal in 2019 but did not order FirstEnergy to pay the money back to customers. Democrat floats Trump censure as conviction grows unlikely Associated Press WASHINGTON — Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine said Wednesday that he’s discussing with colleagues whether a censure resolution to condemn former President Donald Trump for his role in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol could be an alternative to impeachment, even as the Senate proceeds with a trial. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said the impeachment trial will move forward. But Kaine’s proposal is an acknowledgement that the Senate is unlikely to convict Trump of inciting the riot, a troubling prospect for many lawmakers who believe Trump must be held accountable in some way for the Capitol attack. If he were convicted, the Senate could then hold a second vote to ban him from office. A censure would not hold the power of a conviction, but it would put the Senate on record as disapproving of Trump’s role in the insurrection, which came as Congress was counting electoral votes to confirm Demo- Support From page 1 are best positioned to provide that assistance, a sentiment shared by Youngstown Mayor Tito Brown and Athens Mayor Steve Patterson. “Cities, regardless of their size, large, small, villages, we truly know where the needs are,” Patterson said. “This Direct Support for Communities Act is just that.” Red tape in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act along with a short time frame to spend CARES Act funds prevented many small communities from spending all of their allotments, Patterson said. While there still would be accountability, Sen. Brown said, his legislation would put more trust in local governments to spend funding. “I don’t think that Mitchell McConnell and the former president really trusted local governments to give them the dollars and give them the say over how these dollars are spent,” Sen. Brown said. While Sen. Brown’s legislation doesn’t include a dollar amount, President Joe Biden has proposed crat Joe Biden’s victory. Just before Trump’s supporters broke through windows and busted through the Capitol’s doors, he gave a fiery speech outside the White House urging them to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat. Talk of finding a punishment that more senators could rally around flared a day after just five Republicans joined Democrats in a Senate test vote over the legitimacy of Trump’s trial. It was unclear, though, whether other Democrats, or any Republicans, would sign on to Kaine’s proposal. House Democrats are busy preparing their formal case against the former president for inciting an insurrection, with arguments starting the week of Feb. 8. “Make no mistake — there will be a trial, and the evidence against the former president will be presented, in living color, for the nation and every one of us to see,” Schumer said Wednesday. An angry mob of Trump supporters wanting to stop Congress’ confirmation of Biden’s victory invaded the Capitol, ransacking hallways and offices and attempting to break into the House chamber with lawmakers hiding inside. They rifled through desks on the empty Senate floor and hunted for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence, who was in the Capitol overseeing the certification of Biden’s election victory. A week later, on Jan. 13, the Democratic-led House impeached Trump with the backing of 10 Republicans. The case was sent to the Senate on Monday. Kaine, a Virginia senator, told reporters Wednesday that he has been talking to a “handful” of his colleagues for the last two weeks about the likelihood that Democrats would fall short of convicting Trump. A conviction would need the support of two-thirds of the senators, or 67 votes. Getting there would require all Democrats and 17 Republicans. Kaine noted that the Senate is spending time on impeachment when it could be working to advance coronavirus relief, a major priority for Democrats and Biden. Tuesday’s vote was the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that includes $350 billion in emergency funding for state, local and territorial governments. “Our bill doesn’t have a number, it has a formula, and it would fit perfectly into what the president is trying to do,” Sen. Brown said. Sen. Brown criticized his fellow lawmakers in Washington for not providing more assistance to American people, businesses, schools and local governments after passing the $2.2 trillion CARES Act in March 2020. More assistance is urgently needed, he said. “Every day thousands of people fell into poverty in this country, in this state alone hundreds, and we just didn’t do anything,” the senator said. “Well, those days are over. We’re going to deliver for people. Small businesses, unemployed workers, rental assistance, money for schools, money for local governments.” Sen. Brown would like to see bipartisan support for the proposed legislation, but if Republicans don’t join the efforts, he wants the Democraticcontrolled House and Senate to move forward with the proposal. He suggested Democrats could use reconciliation, a process Republicans used to pass tax cuts in 2017 that would only require 51 votes in the Senate. Sen. Brown dismissed concerns from Republicans about the cost of Biden’s plan and that some of the CARES Act funds haven’t been spent yet. “During World War II, before D-Day, Gen. (Dwight) Eisenhower didn’t go to the president and say, ‘Can we afford this?’ We did this to win the war,” Sen. Brown said. “We’ve had 400,000 people die. We’re 4% of the world’s population, 20% of the world’s deaths, and we’re going to say, ‘We’ll, I don’t know if every dollar’s been spent in every local community that we’ve put out there.” Mayor Brown agreed that communities need support and said politics shouldn’t delay it. “We need to make sure that we put politics aside,” the Youngstown mayor said. “It’s about people.” © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Sen. Susan Collins, one of the five Republicans who voted with Demo- crats on holding the trial, said she has been talking with Kaine about ways to hold Trump to account for his role in the riot. “The question is, Is there another way to express condemnation of the president’s activities?” Collins said. She said that five is probably “a high mark on what you’re going to see for Republican support” for convicting Trump at trial. While many Republicans criticized Trump after the riot, passions have cooled since then. Now a number of Republicans are rushing to his legal defense. The procedural motion from Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, defeated on a 45-55 vote, sought to declare the trial unconstitutional because Trump is no longer in office. It’s an argument that many legal scholars dispute but that most of the GOP caucus has leaned into, enabling Republicans to oppose the trial without directly defending Trump’s behavior. Some said the censure resolution was too late because Democrats had rejected GOP suggestions of censure before the House voted to impeach. Asked about Kaine’s idea, Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said it would be a bad precedent to set. “I guess if we can censure former presidents, then when Republicans get in charge, we can censure Barack Obama or Democrats can censure George Bush.” Some Democrats also appear wary.

Is Jesus telling you to maim yourself so you can have some sort of spiritual reward? No, but He is pointing out the enormous result of not dealing with sin in this life. Cutting off your hands and feet, and tearing out your eye will not likely remove your inclination to sin, but perhaps you should thoughtfully consider cutting off relationships with people who pressure you, mislead you, or exploit you resulting in your choosing things contrary to God’s Word and will. You should tear yourself away from situations, devices, and opportunities to slip and slide into sinful actions. You should instead choose to embrace life.

Romans 1:19-20). Likewise, concerning the plan of God for men, the Psalms declare, “The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations (Psalm 98:2; ESV).” There is nothing secret about the Gospel of Christ. Jesus Himself noted concerning His preaching, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. (John 18:20; ESV)” Still today, the principles of Christianity are available to all the world in the words of the Bible. There is no great secret to obtaining the salvation Christ offers. The principles of love, mercy, kindness, patience, and all the other virtues advocated by the Lord, are not hidden subjects revealed only to a select few. If you were to serve as a Christian for a hundred years, the message would remain the same as it was when you were newly born into Christ. And any teacher, prophet, religion or spiritual leader which promises to reveal hidden understanding of the world is one to guard against lest we delve into deep mysteries only to discover, at the end, “empty night.” The church of Christ invites you to study the pure word of God with us, and join us in worship, at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

Super Bowl coaches just getting started By Mark Long Associated Press There’s no retirement age in the NFL, and that’s a good thing for Super Bowl-bound Kansas City and Tampa Bay. Andy Reid and Bruce Arians are two of the league’s five oldest coaches. Reid is closing in on 63; Arians turned 68 last October. They have a combined 55 years of NFL experience and spent nearly another three decades working at the college level. Neither seems close to calling it a career. Instead, they’re showing that bald heads and gray facial hair might be a better choice than young and spry at football’s most important leadership position. These guys might just be getting started, too. Reid signed a six-year contract extension in November that could keep him with the Chiefs through 2025. Arians told a Tampa radio station Wednesday he plans to return in 2021 even if the Buccaneers beat Kansas City at home in the Super Bowl on Feb. 7. Arians was asked on WDAE-FM whether he would “ride off into the sunset” with a victory. “Hell, no!” he said. “I’m going for two. If the (owners) will have me back, I’ll be back.” Reid, who ranks fifth on the NFL wins list with 238, is in the midst of his eighth season in Kansas City after a long tenure in Philadelphia. He took over a team that was 2-14 before his arrival and built a consistent winner, one that has reached new heights under Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes. “A guy like Patrick will keep you very, very young,” Arians joked. Reid and the Chiefs are trying to become the first team in 16 years to win consecutive Super Bowls, joining an exclusive list of dynasties that includes Green Bay (1967-68), Miami (’72-73), Pittsburgh (’75-76, ’79-80), San Francisco (’8990), Dallas (’92-93), Denver (’98-99) and New England (2003-04). “Growing up as an Eagles fan, I was able to cheer for a bunch of his teams,” Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said. “He does an outstanding job with his team. And then, in particular the offense, he is a great technician in what he has his team do. “I have always respected how much they have evolved over the years and the different things that they do which are so different than what they were doing, you know, 20 years ago in Philadelphia. I just think so highly of him as a coach.” There’s little doubt that Reid’s “throw to win” philosophy is the NFL model these days.

(AP) — Mecole Hardman trudged to the sideline as the Bills trotted onto the field, then slumped onto the bench and tossed a huge Kansas City Chiefs coat over his head like a shroud as Buffalo took advantage of his fumbled punt for an easy touchdown. It was an enormous mistake in the opening minutes of the AFC championship game on Sunday, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid could have easily given his young wide receiver the cold shoulder. Reid could have sent someone else back to field punts the rest of the game, or directed plays designed with Hardman in mind to his plethora of other playmakers. Instead, the old coach went right back to him. He had Patrick Mahomes throw a pass to Hardman two plays later, then capped the ensuing 80-yard drive by scripting an inside screen play for him that went for a touchdown. And when the Chiefs got the ball back again, the first play Reid called was an end-around that went for 50 yards, setting up another touchdown that gave Kansas City a 14-9 lead. “They’re going to be with me. They’re going to keep me up, keep me motivated — make sure I don’t have my head down,” Hardman said. “I was still mentally intact, but it’s good the coaches still have confidence in you, call some plays for you to make some plays in the game. And the type of player I am, I’m going to take advantage of every opportunity I get.” The Chiefs never trailed again in a 38-24 victory that sent the defending champions back to the Super Bowl. It’s not the first time that Reid has stuck with a struggling player. Whether it’s a quarterback that throws an interception or a wide receiver that drops a pass, chances are good that Reid will call specific plays to get them right back in the game. Want another example? Think back to Sept. 8, 2017, when Kareem Hunt fumbled on his very first NFL carry. The third-round pick, now with the Cleveland Browns, had put the Chiefs in a bind in their season opener in New England with his first fumble since his freshman year of college. But rather than sit the rookie, Reid leaned on Hunt the rest of the way, and he responded by carrying 14 times for 148 yards, catching five passes for 98 yards and scoring three TDs. Reid downplayed the pep talk he gave to Hardman after the latest gaffe — )Hardman has a troubling history of mistakes in the punt return game. But sometimes actions speak louder than words, and besides, he had special teams coordinator Dave Toub, wide receivers coach Greg Lewis and even quarterback Patrick Mahomes to help keep his spirits up. “Listen, just bare down, focus, watch it all the way into the tuck. Basic fundamentals,” Reid said. “Dave is the one that talked to him about all that, Greg talked to him, and then he was thrown back out there and given another chance, and he’s made plays the last couple years. He had a muff; keep him in and let’s go. That’s what we did, doggone it.” Added his quarterback: “I just told him to keep his head up. We’ve been in that situation before,” Mahomes said. “I told him he’s going to make a play in this game that’s going to change the game, and he made multiple of them. RACINE, Ohio — The third made the difference. The Southern boys basketball team led TriValley Conference Hocking Division guest Waterford by three points at halftime on Tuesday in Meigs County, but the visiting Wildcats went on a 29-to-11 third quarter run and held on for a 69-60 victory. The Tornadoes (2-10, 1-6 TVC Hocking) — who fell at Waterford on Dec. 15 by a 53-47 count — trailed the Wildcats 16-15 eight minutes into Tuesday’s contest.

Bucs fans set to cheer inside, outside stadium TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Warren Sapp wishes fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could pack the stands for the first Super Bowl played in a host team’s home stadium. Because of coronavirus pandemic concerns, the NFL’s decision to limit capacity to 22,000 at Raymond James Stadium, and soaring prices for a limited number of tickets available for the league’s title game will prevent that. All’s not lost, though, for an excited though sometimes fickle fan base embracing a bittersweet opportunity to enjoy the NFC champions on football’s biggest stage after being forced to follow the Tom Brady-led Bucs, as well as playoff runs by the region’s other two major pro franchises, from afar. The NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup while playing the entire postseason in Canada, then was unable to fully celebrate with hometown fans, who were left to salute the team during a boat parade and outdoor stadium rally that replaced a more traditional-style celebration on the streets of downtown Tampa. Major League Base- ball’s Tampa Bay Rays played two playoff games in neighboring St. Petersburg before winning the American League pennant in California and losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a neutral-site World Series played in Texas. The Bucs won three straight playoff games on the road to become the first team to advance to a Super Bowl in its home stadium. Tampa Bay has a reputation nationally for supporting the Lightning, but not the Bucs and Rays, who routinely rank near or at the bottom of baseball in attendance. The past year truly has been special for all the franchises, though, and fans are celebrating any way they can. “The Bucs in the Super Bowl with the game at home doesn’t even seem real. Usually there’s a buildup. A team goes to the playoffs, loses and goes back and loses again. It takes time to get good,” long-time fan Justin Heaven said. “The Bucs go 7-9 with Jameis Winston, haven’t won a playoff game in 18 years and haven’t been to the playoffs in 13,” Heaven added. Fall tively added five and four points. Tanner Lisle and Damien Miller completed the SHS tally with two points and one point, respectively. Federal Hocking sank 39 total field goals — including eight trifectas — and also went 8-of-14 at the charity stripe for 57 percent. Smith led the hosts with a game-high 32 points, followed by Nathaniel Massie with 19 points and Rogers with 13 markers. Elijah Lucas and Collin Jarvis respectively added 10 and nine points as well. Lane Smith was next with seven points, while Wes Carpenter completed the winning tally with four points.

He was 66 when the Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams two years ago. “We have a cause and our cause is to put rings on our fingers,” Arians said. “You do everything you can to reach that goal.” Regardless of age. �NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, January 29, 2021 13 GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Meigs County Cancer Initiative, Inc.

In Ephesians, Paul describes who we are in Christ. He describes a community that finds common ground in belonging to God and what it means to walk worthily as a member of that family. If you’re a follower of Christ, you belong to the family of God. So, no matter how good or bad your earthly family is, you’re loved by the Father. No matter your past, you have a place at His table. And that’s a reason to rejoice. The family of God is greater than our most disgusting labels. Just ask Paul. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

When the economy is suffering, consumers tend to spend less in the short term while making financial decisions that affect them over the long haul. One of the biggest quandaries men and women face during a recession or economic downturn is how to approach their retirement accounts, most notably a 401(k). When the economy begins to struggle, men and women may notice their 401(k) plans are struggling right along with it, losing money that most were counting for their retirements. This can induce a certain degree of panic, as account holders worry about their financial futures and how they are going to get by should the recession last and their retirement accounts continue to shrink. But such panic might be unwarranted. According to the investment management firm Vanguard, participant saving and investing behavior had returned to prerecession levels by 2010, and participant account balances actually rose 13 percent between 2005-2010, despite the considerable market shock that occurred during the recession of 2008-2009. Those figures illustrate that even during a particularly bad economic swoon investors will return to their typical behavior sooner rather than later. Therefore it pays to avoid overreacting at the onset of a downturn and maintain your peace of mind. allow a sudden reaction to a bad quarter dictate these adjustments, which should only be made after a careful examination of your retirement account’s portfolio and its performance. If you’re happy with the performance, don’t change a thing. While some people manage to maintain a cool head during times of economic struggles, others may lose sleep when the next recession or downturn rears its ugly head. To avoid succumbing to such stress, consider the following tips to protect your retirement accounts should the economy once again take a turn for the worse. &� ��!��� %�!�� ����� ��� %�!� ����� Financial experts can often predict when the economy will thrive and when it will struggle. But unless you are such an expert, avoid playing with fire. As you age, reduce your risk with regard to your investments. Young people can afford to take on more risk because they have more time to make up for a risk that doesn’t work out. Men and women age 50 and older have no such luxury and should reconfigure their retirement accounts as they age so their investments are less risky and more conservative. This strategy should be put to use even if you lost a substantial amount of money during a previous recession or downturn. It might be tempting to try to make up for lost money, but that strategy carries considerable risk, and you might end up depleting your retirement savings a second time. Investors age 50 and older should begin to reduce the risks associated with their retirement accounts, choosing more stable investments as they age. retirement account such &� �%�� �� ���� ��%�!�� as a 401(k), the standard ��� �������Young people is to deposit 6 percent just beginning their of each paycheck into professional careers that account.

That’s perfectly understandable with certain investments, but a retirement account should not be one of them. Cashing out a retirement account too early could incur substantial penalties that, if your retirement account was affected poorly by a bad year, may only further deplete an account you likely spent years building. Avoid the temptation to cash out early if your retirement account is struggling. It’s often not worth the steep price.

OMEGA and Buckeye Hills will assist communities with understanding, integrating and implementing Opportunity Zone benefits with By Robert Burns AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON — To the last moments of his presidency, Donald Trump trumpeted Space Force as a creation for the ages. And while President Joe Biden has quickly undone other Trump initiatives, the space-faring service seems likely to survive, even if the new administration pushes it lower on the list of defense priorities. The reason Space Force is unlikely to go away is largely this: Elimination would require an act of Congress, where a bipartisan consensus holds that America’s increasing reliance on space is a worrying vulnerability that is best addressed by a branch of the military focused exclusively on this problem. The new service also is linked to an increasing U.S. wariness of China, which is developing capabilities to threaten U.S. satellites in space and which has become, in the minds of some, the singular national security challenge. Russia, too, stands accused by Washington of seeking to challenge American dominance in additional federal, state, and local incentives, and economic development wrap around services to attract external investment. “Buckeye Hills Regional Council is excited to be part of this project to bring Opportunity Zone investments and job growth to the communities we serve,” Buckeye Hills Regional Council Executive Director Misty Crosby said. “Unemployment rates in our region were among the highest in the state even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the military, it’s seen soberly as an affirmation of the need to more effectively organize for the defense of U.S. interests in space — especially satellites used for civilian and military navigation, intelligence and communication. While far smaller than any other branch of the military, Space Force is acquiring the standard trappings of a service, including an official flag, logo, seal and doctrine. It has launched commercials to attract recruits. After lengthy debate, it was decided last month that Space Force members would be called guardians, although they don’t yet have an official dress uniform. The force is planning to expand its ranks from 2,400 active-duty members to 6,400 by the end of this year. Kaitlyn Johnson, an expert on space policy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, says bipartisan congressional support for Space Force makes it likely that Biden will not push for its undoing. Jeannette M. Wierzbicki said. “OMEGA will also be working with its communities to more fully develop opportunity zones in our region to facilitate recovery from the pandemic and to develop resiliency throughout the region.” Leveraging its expertise in venture capital, angel investment, and entrepreneurship, the Voinovich School will support Opportunity Zone development and creation of investmentready communities. “Appalachian Ohio faces unique economic challenges and emerging “OMEGA is very grateful to the EDA for their continued investment in the Appalachian region.
