For that reason, I am stepping down from my role at The Columbus Foundation in order to carefully consider how I can best be of service at this crucial time.” Acton’s leadership working with Republican Gov. Mike DeWine in the state’s response to the COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hundreds of law enforcement agencies in Ohio will be able to buy bodyworn cameras through a $10 million grant Gov. Mike DeWine proposed Wednesday in his budget. “My goal is for every police ofﬁcer in the state of Ohio to have a body camera,” DeWine said during a brieﬁng. “I think it protects the police. It protects the public and it’s good to have that transparency.” He added, “It is the right thing to do.” As of February, only 183 of the state’s about 900 law enforcement agencies both have body cameras for ofﬁcers and are following the standards set by the Ohio Collaborative CommunityPolice Advisory Board, DeWine said. The governor said the cost of the camera technology, storing the footage it produces and even hiring personnel to ﬁll public records request for it is expensive for midsize and rural police departments and sheriff’s ofﬁces. The $10 million grant under DeWine’s proposed two-year, $75 billion budget for the business year beginning in July comes after two highproﬁle police shootings in Columbus in December. Both the cases of Andre Hill, fatally shot by a Columbus police ofﬁcer, and Casey Goodson Jr., fatally shot by a Franklin County sheriff’s deputy, shed light on the issue of body-worn cameras in use-of-force cases, especially against Black people. DeWine, who did not speak on either of the cases, said the agencies eligible for the grant must also follow the state’s standard for body cameras by using them properly and turning them on when coming in contact with a suspect where force might be used. He added, “The public has more conﬁdence and trust in the criminal justice system when ofﬁcers are wearing them.” The governor also laid out his plans to allocate $1 million to diversify agencies so that ofﬁcers “reﬂect the communities they serve.” There will also be $8 million set aside to establish and support investigation centers that will focus on cellphones and other evidence of ﬁrearm crimes. The budget also contained continued funding to support task forces and other efforts to counter drug trafﬁcking in Ohio. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, February 5, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing JOHN EDWIN HOUCK, JR.

Just one Republican, Mitt Romney of Utah, broke with the GOP and voted to convict. On this date: In 1631, the founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, and his wife, Mary, arrived in Boston from England.

In 1922, the ﬁrst edition of Reader’s Digest was published. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed increasing the number of U.S. Supreme Court justices; the proposal, which failed in Congress, drew accusations that Roosevelt was attempting to “pack” the nation’s highest court.

Sad, isn’t it, but the ark ﬂoated safely on the water. One day, just as suddenly as the rain started, it stopped. There was still water everywhere, so Noah waited a little while, and then he sent out a dove to search for dry ground. The dove ﬁnally returned with a green branch, so Noah knew the water was receding. A little while later, the ark landed on dry ground, and Noah and his family came out along with all the animals. The ﬁrst thing that Noah did was to thank God for saving them. God promised Noah (and us too) that He would never again destroy the earth with water like He had done. As a sign of this promise and His love for us, God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Whenever we see a rainbow, we know that God keeps His commitments and that He loves us very much! Next time, you see a rainbow remember the story of Noah, God’s promise, and how important it is to follow God even when it seems hard to do. Let’s pray. Father God, thank You for saving the earth and us. You gave us the rainbow as a reminder of just how much You love us all. Help us to follow You and be kind. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Greene regrets ‘words of the past’ without apology By Alan Fram, Brian Slodysko and Kevin Freking while falsely equating her own endorsement of violence against Associated Press Democrats with those in the party who supported racial jusWASHINGTON — Embattled tice protests over the summer, which sometimes turned violent. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, She pronounced the media facing a House vote to strip her “just as guilty as QAnon of preof committee assignments, said Thursday that she regrets some senting truth and lies.” QAnon’s “words of the past,” but she did core theory embraces the lie that Democrats are tied to a global not explicitly apologize for her sex trafﬁcking ring that also racist and violent rhetoric. Alternating between contrition involves Satanism and cannibalism. and deﬁance, the newly elected Democrats were expected to Georgia Republican asserted move forward later Thursday in a House speech that she was with the vote to remove her from “a very regular American” who posted conspiracy theories from her committee posts. House Rules Committee ChairQAnon and other sources before she began campaigning for Con- man Jim McGovern noted that while Greene expressed regret gress, but that those views did over her remarks and claimed not represent her own. She also looked to shift blame to have had an epiphany that QAnon was false in 2018, many of her comments, including those endorsing violence against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, were more recent. “I did not hear an apology or denouncement for the insinuation that political opponents should be violently dealt with,” said McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat. “It’s not ancient history. She continues to fund-raise off this stuff.” The vote will force Greene’s Republican colleagues to go on the record to defend or rebuke her after she has drawn bipartisan condemnation over her past remarks. The political dilemma for Republicans underscores the tension that has riven the party over its future since Donald Trump lost the White House. Some inﬂuential Democrats are urging Acton to run even as early momentum appears to be building for the candidacy of veteran U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, who represents Ohio’s blue-collar Steel Valley. Former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland is solidly behind Ryan and Hillary Clinton, the party’s 2016 presidential nominee, has also signaled her support for him on Twitter. Several Republican U.S. House members have also expressed interest, including Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Iraq War veteran who represents much of Portman’s old U.S. House district in southern Ohio, and Rep. Bill Johnson, who represents much of Appalachian Ohio and has already run a radio ad aimed at former Republican Gov. John Kasich, a steadfast foe of Donald Trump. Kasich has said he won’t run, but Johnson warned Kasich would try to get an “elitist” elected to the seat. Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken, who ousted a Kasich loyalist for the job with Trump’s help; Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Marine veteran, and former state Treasurer Josh Mandel, who dropped a 2018 bid for Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s seat, are among other well-known Republicans weighing a bid. Former Treasurer Kevin Boyce and state House Democratic leader Rep. Emilia Sykes, who both are Black, are among other potential Democratic contenders. Acton’s political experience is limited, and involves volunteering for former President Barack Obama’s 2008 Democratic primary campaign in Ohio. Obama carried Ohio twice, but Trump carried it twice with 8-point margins and Democrats other than Sherrod Brown haven’t done well statewide for more than a decade. Acton is viewed as a potentially strong fundraiser in a race against an expected well-funded Republican candidate. cent calculation and are revised annually.

Relatedly, our willingness to endure hardships in the moment, and turn away from the immediate gratiﬁcation of sin has a lot to do with our faith in the one making the promises to us. To the atheist, the promise of a heavenly reward can never be sufﬁcient so as to encourage self-control in the moment, for they have no faith in the One making the promise. Practically speaking, the one who says they have faith in God, yet does not trust His promises so as to practice self-control, is confessing in the moment, the weakness of their faith. Thus, the Bible teaches that the faith that is pleasing to God both believes that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those that seek Him (cf. Hebrews 11:6). So, looking at your own willingness to resist the temptation of sin, endure the hardships of the moment, all in anticipation of the fulﬁllment of the promises of God, how well are you doing in the great test of life? If we will but be patient, and wait on the return of the Lord, He promises that the wait will have been well worth it. The church of Christ invites you to study and worship with us as we wait upon the promises of the Lord. We meet at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.

The Gallia Academy boys basketball team fell to 1-4 this season in contests decided by three points or less following a 48-45 setback to host Coal Grove on Wednesday night in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Lawrence County. After stringing together a 3-game winning streak, the Blue Devils (6-8, 4-7 OVC) dropped their second straight 1-possession decision in yet another heartbreaking fashion. The guests built a 10-8 lead after one quarter of play and were ahead 13-8 early into the second frame, but the Hornets (6-5, 3-3) answered with 10 consecutive points and ultimately never trailed again. Both teams traded ﬁve points apiece over the remainder of the ﬁrst half, giving CGHS a 23-18 edge headed into the break. The Blue and White reeled off ﬁve consecutive points to knot things up at 23-all early in the third, but the hosts countered with four points apiece from Malachi Wheeler and Tait Matney as part of a 14-6 run to close the quarter with a 37-29 advantage. The Red and Black opened the ﬁnale with three straight points and built their largest lead of the game at 40-29, but GAHS retaliated with a furious 13-4 push that closed the gap down to 44-42 after a pair of Kenyon Franklin free throws with 1:09 remaining. Coal Grove extended its lead back out to 47-43 with under a minute remaining, then Cooper Davis converted a layup from the left side with 30 seconds left to make it a 47-45 deﬁcit. Trevor Hankins sank the ﬁrst of two free throws with 16.5 seconds remaining to increase the lead out to its ﬁnal 3-point outcome. Davis missed a game-tying 3-point attempt from the left wing just before the buzzer sounded. Gallia Academy outrebounded the Hornets by a 33-27 overall margin, including an 11-8 edge on the offensive glass. The guests also committed 15 of the 25 turnovers in the game. The Blue Devils made 16-of-43 ﬁeld goal attempts for 37 percent, including a 3-of-15 effort from behind the arc for 20 percent. GAHS was also 10-of-21 at the free throw line for 48 percent.

The Eastern girls basketball team — which dropped a 65-56 decision at Meigs on Jan. 27 — claimed a ninepoint victory of its own on Wednesday at ‘the Nest’, defeating the Lady Marauders 57-48 in nonleague play. Eastern (5-14) led initially, but was down 13-6 a quarter in to play, with Meigs (6-9) connecting on three triples in the opening stanza. The Lady Marauders were up by nine points within the opening minute of the second period, but the hosts rallied back, taking a 24-22 halftime lead on a putback buzzerbeater by Sydney Reynolds. The Green and White scored 12 of the ﬁrst 16 points in the second half, and led by double digits, at 36-26. The Lady Marauders trimmed the margin to 39-30 by the end of the third, and were within two, at 41-39, with a 9-to-2 run over the ﬁrst two minutes of the fourth. EHS, however, answered with a 16-to-2 run, featuring a 10-of13 performance at the foul line. Eastern was held scoreless for the ﬁnal 1:39, as the Lady Marauders scored seven unanswered points.

Meanwhile, Meigs gave the ball away 30 times, with 21 turnovers before the break. The Lady Marauders won the rebounding battle by a 38-to-33 clip, although the hosts earned a 12-to10 edge on the offensive glass. The Lady Eagles combined for 22 steals, 12 assists and one rejection, while the Maroon and Gold came up with 12 steals, eight assists and seven blocked shots. Eastern made just one of its ﬁrst 18 ﬁeld goal attempts, but wound up shooting 20-of-62 (32.3 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 1-of-12 (8.3 percent) from beyond the arc.

Sills said that wearing masks probably is the most important part of mitigating risk from COVID-19. Sills said people tend to focus on how the NFL tested for the virus daily and also used contact tracing, but using masks consistently was key. “It’s not our belief,” Sills said. “Our data shows that that’s the key element to preventing transmission.” Sills said the league had 262 cases of COVID19 among players and 463 cases among coaches, staff and other personnel for an overall test positivity rate from Aug. 1 through the end of January of 0.08%. That’s well below the country’s positivity rate and in almost all the league’s markets. “That leads me to to make a statement that I think is something that all of us take pride in, and that is that we feel that our club facilities truly were some of the Leading Meigs’ defense, Lisle claimed four steals and two blocks, while Hawley had three blocks and two steals.

The latest positive results came Monday from tests conducted Sunday. A barber tested positive for COVID-19 and was stopped in the middle of cutting Chiefs center Daniel Kilgore’s hair, ESPN reported Wednesday. Both were wearing masks and were immediately sent home. ESPN reports Kilgore has tested negative and is expected to return Saturday in time to ﬂy to Tampa for the Super Bowl. ESPN also reported more than 20 Chiefs players and staffers were scheduled to get haircuts with that barber Sunday, including Patrick Mahomes. Kilgore shared a photo of showing half his head shaven Wednesday on social media, calling it his “(hashtag)NewProfilePic.” Sills said the NFL continues monitoring the situation but had its contact tracing team on site in Kansas City and had a clear understanding of the exposures. The league continues monitoring that situation closely, and Sills credited the Chiefs with taking prompt action. “So at this point, we feel like we’re in a good position with that and we’ll just continue to monitor it,” Sills said. The NFL is continuing to test and has protocols in place for the offseason for the foreseeable future. The league already has announced in-person workouts won’t be allowed for the scouting combine due to health and safety precautions because of COVID19. Instead, they are being held at individual college pro days. Dawn Aponte, the NFL’s chief football administrative ofﬁcer, said league ofﬁcials will be reviewing the expanded practice squad; greater ﬂexibility for injured reserve with players; travel; and game-day environment with the number of personnel on the sidelines, in addition to a season spent in virtual learning. “We will be reviewing, I think, many of those aspects from start to ﬁnish to see what we can take away that really would be beneﬁcial for the longer term,” Aponte said. Asked if the NFL will mandate vaccinations or set up a vaccination program, Sills said those are conversations for the NFL and the NFL Players Association’s medical advisers, with both working closely together. He noted the NFL has been doing what it can to support vaccinations to the general public, with several stadiums being used already. “Let’s make no mistake about it,” Sills said. “Both (the NFL) and the players association medical leadership believe very strongly in vaccinations. We believe it’s safe. We believe it’s effective. We believe it’s imperative as a way forward out of this pandemic.” Chiefs under pressure to ditch the tomahawk chop celebration By Heather Hollingsworth Redskins and the cartoonish Chief Wahoo logo, long the emblem for the Cleveland IndiPressure is mounting ans baseball team.

The Chiefs made some changes in the fall, barring headdresses and war paint and making a subtle alteration to the chop, with cheerleaders using a closed ﬁst instead of an open palm to signal the beating of a drum.
