Water slowly recedes By Beth Sergent bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — The Ohio River and nearby streams began to slowly recede on Thursday, though in many places that process wasn’t happening fast enough. As previously reported, a crest of 46.23 feet was recorded in Point Pleasant just after midnight on Wednesday morning. As of 4 p.m. on Thursday, the river at Point Pleasant remained at 39.74 feet, just below the 40-foot ﬂood stage. The Gallipolis Public Use Area also remained underwater as of Thursday afternoon. At RC Byrd Locks and Dam, as previously reported, a crest was recorded at 51.26 feet around 4 a.m. on Wednesday morning but as of Thursday afternoon, the river level still See MARK | 2 The time consuming cleanup process was set to begin on the parking lot Thursday evening by the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department.

Indicted lawmaker introduces bills for govt accountability COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A disgraced Republican lawmaker on Thursday introduced a pair of pandemic-related bills aimed at bringing checks and balances to Ohio government while he is under a federal investigation for his alleged role in a $61 million bribery scheme. Rep. Larry Householder joined the line of GOP critics of Ohio’s anti-coronavirus efforts by introducing his own pair of bills to trim public health ofﬁcials’ powers during the pandemic. The ﬁrst piece of legislation the two-time lawmaker introduced would allow for a board of county commissioners to terminate or modify any order issued by a county board of health. The other legislation would similarly handicap any health order brought on by the Ohio Department of Health or Republican Gov. Mike DeWine by allowing the General Assembly to modify or terminate any order with a simple majority vote from both chambers. The pair of bills match the legislative action taken by a number of Republicans since DeWine began to issues orders last March in an effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The governor vetoed a similar GOP-backed Senate bill to limit his pandemic authority in December but now appears AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

The pair of bills ended months of legislative silence for Householder following his indictment last summer on racketeering charges in the alleged bribery scheme to pass a $1.3 billion bailout of two Ohio nuclear plants. The former House speaker was one of the driving forces behind the nuclear plants’ ﬁnancial rescue, which added a new fee to every electricity bill in the state and directed over $150 million a year through 2026 to the plants near Cleveland and Toledo. He has pleaded not guilty. His successor, House Speaker Bob Cupp, remained mum Thursday on the topic and the use of the majority party’s resources to promote Householder’s bills. “Mr. Householder is a member of the Ohio House and members have the right to introduce bills and they will be handled according to the rules of the House,” Cupp, a Lima Republican, told reporters. The House has remained in limbo over Householder’s seat, with Democrats pushing to have him removed only to be later rebuked by their Republican colleagues. The momentum See BILLS | 10 Ohio Legislature advancing on repeal of tainted energy law CLEVELAND (AP) — The Ohio Legislature appears to be making progress on eliminating most of the provisions included in a corruptiontainted energy bill now the subject of federal investigations. The Ohio Senate on Wednesday voted unanimously to approve a bill that removes the most scrutinized provision: a $1 billion bailout for two Ohio nuclear plants that were operated by a subsidiary of Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. when the energy bill was approved in July 2019. A new company called Energy Harbor took ownership of the two plants along the Lake Erie shoreline in February 2020 in a U.S. Bankruptcy Court deal with the subsidiary, FirstEnergy Solutions. Energy Harbor has indicated to lawmakers it no longer wants the subsidy that would have been funded by electric customers from across the state. “In retrospect, there needs to be valuable lessons learned from this,” See ENERGY | 8 Single-digit increases in COVID cases Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — Single digit COVID-19 case increases were reported in Gallia and Mason Counties on Thursday.

IN BRIEF Israel, Denmark and Austria join forces against COVID-19 TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israel, Denmark and Austria agreed on Thursday to join forces in the ﬁght against COVID-19 with an investment in research and roll-out of vaccines to protect people against new surges and mutations of the coronavirus. The leaders of the three countries said their alliance will set up a foundation and vaccine distribution plants in Europe and Israel, based on Israel’s world-leading inoculation drive. The effort is aimed at getting ahead of another expected surge of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of how long inoculations will remain effective. Details, such as costs and the time frame for opening the projects, were still being worked out, the leaders said. EU regulator starts review of Russia’s COVID-19 vaccine MOSCOW (AP) — The European Medicines Agency has started a rolling review of Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, many months after it was ﬁrst approved for use in Russia and after dozens of countries around the world have authorized it. In a statement Thursday, the European regulator said the review is based on results from lab studies and research in adults, which suggests the vaccine may help protect against the coronavirus. �CHURCH Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, March 5, 2021 3 The pathway of death I’m the lie girl! There’s nothing like riding an ATV through a ﬁeld of tall grass. Before long, paths appear as the grass is trampled by the tires. A well-worn path eventually becomes an easy path to ride. Life is directional. We’re all going somewhere. Even when we feel stagnant, something is changing. What paths are being formed by the direction of your life? In Ephesians, we see God’s grace in redirecting the paths of His people. And this transformation becomes even more clear as Paul begins chapter 2. Addressing his brothers and sisters in Christ, he writes, “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our ﬂesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind” (vv. 1-3 ESV). Being dead is the spiritual death. equivalent of being So, in Ephesians without Christ. 2:1-3, Paul reminds And this is somethe believers of thing we need to what it’s like to be take seriously. dead.

And see where of spiritual death. it ends. Elsewhere, the apostle “[trespasses and Paul writes, “… We know sins] in which you once that while we are at walked, following the home in the body we are course of this world, folaway from the Lord, for lowing the prince of the we walk by faith, not by power of the air, the spirit sight.

I pray you ﬁnd life in the arms of Christ. And for those of us who do know Christ, how often do we forget what we’ve been saved from? As difﬁcult as it is, the worst kind of death is not physical. Even though we grieve the loss of those we love, we can also take heart. “‘O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?’ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 15:55-57 ESV). As God’s people, we rest assured. No longer do we walk the pathway of death.

Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. A sacrificial discipleship The Gospels recount an episode (Mark 1:17-22) in which a certain man came to Jesus, reverent and seeking. This young man knelt before Jesus most respectfully, calling Him “good Teacher,” before asking that so-important question, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” The man knew what was important, and he knew who he should ask. He came to Jesus in faith and reverence, and for this he should be commended. Likewise, as we continue through the account, we ﬁnd more to like about the young man. Jesus replied to him that what was needed was to obey the Law of God, stating speciﬁcally, “You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother (vs. 19; ESV).’” The man could happily respond that he had kept these things. Without knowing and obeying the word of God, there is no eternal life, for it is the word of God which imparts life (cf. Psalm 119:93) and apart from obedience to God there is no salvation. Jesus taught elsewhen that it was not just a matter of calling Him Lord which would allow one into the Kingdom, but doing the will of the Father (cf. Matthew were therefore all 7:21). part and parcel of The young man ﬁlling the single was truly trying hole in the man’s to be a good and spiritual condition. obedient soul to What was the man God, which is lacking?

OH-70218306 OH-70218312 �Sports 6 Friday, March 5, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Rio women fall in RSC title game By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing Courtesy of Justyce Stout Rio Grande’s Hailey Jordan puts up a jump shot during Tuesday night’s 86-74 loss to West Virginia University-Tech in the championship game of the River States Conference Women’s Basketball Tournament at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center in Beckley, W.Va. Jordan finished with 15 points in the loss. BECKLEY, W.Va. — After watching its 14-point third quarter advantage whittled down to just three entering the ﬁnal period of regulation, West Virginia University-Tech needed something to thwart the University of Rio Grande’s comeback effort. The Golden Bears got exactly what they were looking for. Brittney Justice, who was named the River States Conference Player of the Year on Monday, scored ﬁve points in an 11-2 Tech run to open the fourth quarter and the Golden Bears went on to upend the RedStorm, 86-74, in the championship game of the RSC Women’s Basketball Tournament, Tuesday night, at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center. WVU-Tech, which had a 31-game winning streak against conference foes snapped during a regular season loss at Rio Grande on Feb. 2, improved to 12-8 with the victory. The RedStorm slipped to 18-8 with the loss. Rio Grande entered the contest riding an 11-game winning streak, the longest such streak for the program since winning 16 consecutive outings during the 2014-15 season. WVU-Tech extended a 37-33 halftime lead to 14 points, 54-40, after a three-pointer by Makayla Jones with 4:21 left in the third quarter, but the Golden Bears went scoreless for the remainder of the period and Rio reeled off 11 straight points to get within 54-51 entering the ﬁnal stanza. Tech scored the ﬁrst six points of the fourth quarter — four of which were by Alex Gray — and, after Rio freshman Caitlyn Brisker (Oak Hill, OH) hit a pair of free throws to brieﬂy stop the bleeding, Justice scored the next ﬁve to push the lead back to 12 points, 65-53, with 7:04 remaining in the game. See RSC | 7 Despite no combine, NFL releases list of who merited invites By Barry Wilner Associated Press The last NFL event not impacted by the COVID19 pandemic was the 2020 combine in Indianapolis. A year later, with the 2021 combine canceled, the league has released a list of players who would have merited invitations. From such high-proﬁle quarterbacks as Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, the almost-certain top overall draft pick by Jacksonville, and Ohio State’s Justin Fields to guys who sat out last season such as Oregon tackle Penei Sewell, there are 323 players from 100 schools. While they won’t get the chance to be observed and examined in Indy, the fact they are on this list means there will be interest in them come the end of April and the NFL draft. Instead of running 40-yard dashes, lifting weights and doing other activities, many on national television, at the combine, the players will be evaluated at pro days throughout the nation. Some even have or will attend mini-combines that are not sanctioned by the NFL. Fields would have had 13 Buckeyes teammates at the combine, the most for any school, followed by Georgia with 12, Alabama and Notre Dame (11 each), and Florida (9). Cornerbacks got the most invitations with 44, including all-Americans Shaun Wade of Ohio State, and Patrick Surtain of national champion Alabama. Offensive tackles are next most popular with 36; that position was a stronghold of the 2020 draft and could be again this year led by Sewell. Other potential ﬁrst-round quarterbacks on the list include Zach Wilson of BYU, Trey Lance of North Dakota State and Mac Jones of Alabama. There’s even a long snapper invited: the Crimson Tide’s Thomas Fletcher. Heisman Trophy winner Devonta Smith and Tide teammate Jaylen Waddle are among the wide receivers who would have been at the combine, along with Smith’s All-America counterpart, Elijah Moore of Mississippi. Several FCS and lower division schools have players on the list, including North Dakota State, Illinois State, Grambling State, Nicholls State, North Carolina Central, Northern Iowa, Charleston (Division II), Central Missouri State (Division II) and Wisconsin-Whitewater (Division III). The latter school is expecting representatives from all 32 clubs at its pro day, when its one combine player, guard Quinn Meinerz, is planning to work.

Point dominates season opening quad By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — No major signs of rust for the 2-time defending Class AA-A champions. The Point Pleasant wrestling team won all but four of its 42 individual matches and posted impressive victories over Winﬁeld, St. Marys and Oak Hill on Wednesday night during the 2021 season opening quad held within ‘The Dungeon’ in Mason County. The Big Blacks — who return ﬁve reigning state champions — picked up right where they left off over a year ago as the hosts defeated Winﬁeld 67-12 in the opener, then notched a 69-9 win over St. Marys before com- pleting the night with a 78-0 shutout of Oak Hill. The Red and Black received nine decisions by forfeit and notched 25 pinfall wins en route to a 38-4 overall mark. PPHS also had 11 different grapplers ﬁnish the night with perfect 3-0 marks in their respective weight classes. Seniors Isaac Short (126) and Mitchell Freeman (152), as well as juniors Derek Raike (145) and Colby Price (220), all scored three pinfall wins each while going unbeaten. Senior Chris Smith (132), junior Justin Bartee (160) and freshman Conner Blessing (120) scored two pinfall wins apiece while posting identical 3-0 marks.

MLB to hold first Lou Gehrig Day on June 2 NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball will hold its ﬁrst Lou Gehrig Day on June 2, adding Gehrig to Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente on the short list of players honored throughout the big leagues. Each home team will have “4-ALS” logos in ballparks to mark Gehrig’s No. 4, and all players, managers and coaches will wear a Lou Gehrig Day patch on uniforms and may use red “4-ALS” wristbands. Teams that are off on June 2 will observe Lou Gehrig Day on June 3. MLB said Thursday that the day will focus on ﬁnding cures and raising money for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, which is known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, the legacy of Gehrig and others who died of the progressive disease that attacks nerve cells controlling muscles throughout the body. June 2 marks the 96th anniversary of when Gehrig made started at ﬁrst base for the New York Yankees in place of Willy Pipp, starting his record streak of 2,130 consecutive games played. The mark stood until September 1995 by Baltimore’s Cal Ripken Jr., who played 2,632 consecutive games in a streak that ended in 1998. Gehrig died of ALS at age 37 on June 2, 1941. He was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame in 1939. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement that Gehrig’s “humility and courage continue to inspire our society” and “the pressing need to ﬁnd cures remains.” MLB’s committee includes Oakland outﬁelder Stephen Piscotty, whose mother died of ALS; Colorado outﬁelder Sam Hillard, whose father has been diagnosed with ALS; and Milwaukee catcher Jacob Nottingham, whose family includes six people who died of ALS. MLB teams and players helped raise millions of dollars in 2014’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The New York Yankees often mark the anniversary of Gehrig’s farewell speech on July 4, 1939. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing NFL From page 6 games such as the Senior Bowl and Hula Bowl. The ﬂood of pro days begins Friday at Kansas. Key pro days at which many likely high draft picks will work — albeit in a choreographed practice — are Alabama’s two (March 23 and 30); Ohio State (March 30); Oklahoma (March 12); Notre Dame (March 31); Georgia (March 17); Iowa State (March 23); Texas (March 11); Texas A&M (March 30); Clemson (March 11); Wisconsin (March 10); and Penn State (March 25). Such NFL teams as the Detroit Lions, who select seventh overall, will be paying close attention. “When you pick inside the top 10, you better know every single position regardless of the circumstances currently on your roster,” said new Lions general manager Brad Holmes. “There’s really not a position that I can sit here and say that I see as thin right now just because in relevance of where we’re picking at, we have to be prepared to know all positions and that’s part of the process that we’re doing now.” That process is not any easier without a combine. Prospects already are getting tested at non-sanctioned events that the NFL has barred ofﬁcials from attending. At the EXOS minicombine in Arizona, wide receiver Rashod Bateman of Minnesota, a combine invitee, ran a 4.37 hand-timed and 4.39 laser-timed 40. DE Milton Williams of Louisiana Tech, also an Indy invitee, had a 35-inch vertical jump and ran a 4.63. And Tylan Wallace, Oklahoma State’s highly regarded wideout, ran a 4.39.

Jesus invites you to follow Him. The invitation comes when you read the Bible, hear it preached or taught, or encounter one of His children who tell you of or show you His truth and love. And as with any invitation you might receive, there is a choice before you to receive it and act on it, or to not do so and, consequently, miss out on the opportunity to which you’ve been invited. The trick is recognizing that you Thom and I cannot follow Him and still live Mollohan life according to our own agenda, Contributing plans, desires, and wisdom. That is columnist the same thing as receiving a party invitation and saying you’ll come and yet refusing to leave the party you’re in. “As they were going along the road, someone said to Him (Jesus), ‘I will follow You wherever You go.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.’ To another He said, ‘Follow Me.’ But he said, ‘Lord, let me ﬁrst go and bury my father.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’ Yet another said, ‘I will follow You, Lord, but let me ﬁrst say farewell to those at my home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is ﬁt for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:57-62 ESV). Before we receive His invitation to follow Him, you and I are already attending a party. The party we attend before we heed the call of Jesus is the party that the world is throwing. It promises us entertainments, pleasures, and delicacies if only we’ll pursue those things on the terms of the world around us. We learn the “house rules” of the party we’ve been invited to and live accordingly. We cheat, lie, and steal. We neglect people and mock the truth. We puff ourselves up and strive to be in the spotlight of attention and approval of everyone else. But the “party” that Jesus invites us to causes us to leave the world’s party behind and as we forsake it, we are freed to enter into the celebration of fellowship with God that only Jesus can provide us. And, of course, the party here has entirely different rules. We come through the doorway of faith in Jesus Christ, and in humbleness learn that the music playing in this party is the love song of God for His children and the praise we give Him from our own lips. The dance we dance is the humble devotion of a life lived surrendered to God and the acts of loving service we render one another as we become God’s extension of Himself to those around us. This party God throws is catered with the sweet and savory truths of His Word and the refreshing drink we are given is the sweet fellowship He gives us as we learn the reality of His ongoing presence in our lives. I suppose, if we continue to think about it, we might consider that the “door prizes” that each of us are granted are not the cheap, breakable things that perish with this world, but are opportunities to see God work in and through our lives knowing that what He is up to goes with us into forever. The invitation Jesus sends you is an earnest one. He sincerely desires you to join Him. The invitation is an urgent one. Spiritually speaking, life and death are on the line for you and me. And He cares enough to intervene in your life to choose you right now to hear Him and receive that invitation. The invitation He gives you is accessible only through Himself. You and I cannot come to Him on our own terms. To try to do so only ends in tragic failure. We must come to Him through faith. The kind of faith that repents of sin (our rebellion against God and refusal to listen and obey Him). The kind of faith that decides to trust Jesus over every other path. The kind of faith that leads to living life God’s way. Will you accept that invitation? Will you follow Him?

Does your mom do what we call “Spring Cleaning?” Lots of moms like to get the house all clean and organized when the weather starts to get warm, so it’s spotless, neat, and ready for the spring and summer months. Spring just seems a good time to give our houses a good going over, clean everything, and get rid of a lot of stuff that we don’t need anymore. Our story this week is about a time when Jesus did some cleaning out of His own but in a temple (a church.) You’ll ﬁnd the story in John 2:13-22 of the Bible. It was time for the annual Passover celebration, so Jesus traveled to Jerusalem. When He arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus went to the temple. who were selling He couldn’t believe the doves He said, His eyes. There in “Get these out of the temple area, here! How dare you He saw people who turn My Father’s were selling cattle, house into a marsheep, and doves ket.” Yes, I would for the people to say that Jesus did use as sacriﬁces in Ann some spring cleanthe temple.

It looked more like a carnival than think about some other cleaning that may need a house of worship. Jesus did not like what to be done – in us. We He saw. He was so angry are in a season called that He made a whip from Lent. At ﬁrst, the word some rope, and He drove Lent meant “the season of spring.” Now it has the cattle and sheep and now become much more those who were selling than that.

Maybe you ﬁght with your brothers and sisters, or you talk back to your parents at times, or you misbehave in school. Stop and think about asking Jesus to help you do better. Let’s say a prayer. Dear Jesus during this time of Lent and “selfcleaning,” we ask You to help us realize when we do wrong, ask You for forgiveness, and to make us clean too. In Your name we pray, Amen.

Then-Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and four others were arrested and indicted in July 2020 on federal racketeering charges for what has been called the biggest corruption scandal in state history. Householder is accused of leading a $60 million bribery scheme secretly funded by FirstEnergy to get the energy bill approved and to conduct a dirty tricks campaign to prevent a referendum on the bill from reaching the ballot. Householder has pleaded not guilty while On this date In 1770, the Boston Massacre took place as British soldiers who’d been taunted by a crowd of colonists opened ﬁre, killing ﬁve people. In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson began in the U.S. Senate, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase presiding.

In the wake of the indictments, FirstEnergy ﬁred a number of top ofﬁcials, include CEO Chuck Jones. Current FirstEnergy ofﬁcials say they are cooperating with the U.S. Justice Department and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in their investigations. The state Senate last month unanimously approved legislation that would eliminate another provision viewed by critics as a FirstEnergy giveaway. That provision guaranteed revenue for FirstEnergy’s three Ohio utilities based on what they earned in 2018, a year of weather extremes and high electricity use. In a settlement agreement with Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost last month, FirstEnergy said it would forgo collecting guaranteed revenues from customers. Senate President Matt Huffman, a Lima Republican, said after Wednesday’s vote that he had “general conversations” with House Speaker Bob Cupp late last year about how the two chambers might proceed in repealing the energy bill’s provisions. The measures approved by the Senate are a start, he said. The Ohio House has been holding hearings on a separate bill that would eliminate the nuclear plant subsidies along with a $20 million annual subsidy for ﬁve largescale utility farms, none of which are producing power yet. The House is expected to vote on the measure next week, Cupp said. It’s likely that members of both chambers will form a conference committee to negotiate the ﬁnal provisions of a repeal bill they will send to Republican Gov. Mike DeWine. The one provision of the tainted energy bill that has not been addressed in any pending legislation is the subsidy being paid by nearly all Ohio electric customers to support two aging coal-ﬁred power plants, one of which is located in Indiana. The plants owned by a consortium called the Ohio Valley Electric Corp. were built in the 1950s to provide power to a uranium enrichment facility in Piketon, Ohio. Government contracts with OVEC ended in 2003 but the plants continue to operate, typically selling electricity to the grid at a price that’s less than what it costs to produce. Before the energy bill took effect in 2020, only customers of AEP-Ohio, Dayton Power & Light and Duke Energy paid to subsidize the plants. Customers from FirstEnergy’s three utilities also began paying for that subsidy starting last year. Critics have pointed out that AEP-Ohio, which owns the biggest share of the OVEC plants, initially opposed the nuclear plant bailout then gave its support when the coal plant subsidy was added to HB6.
