His announcement came the same day as yet another, this one in South Carolina, where ﬁve people were killed. Biden emphasized the scope of the problem: Between the mass killings in Atlanta massage businesses and the Colorado grocery store shooting last month, there were more than 850 additional shootings that killed 250 and injured 500 in the U.S., he said. But Thursday’s announcement underscores the limitations of Biden’s executive power to act on guns. His orders tighten regulations on homemade guns and provide more resources for gun-violence prevention but fall far short of the sweeping gun-control agenda he laid out on the campaign trail. Indeed, Biden again urged Congress to act, calling on the Senate to take up House-passed measures closing background check loopholes. He also said Congress should pass the Violence Against Women Act, eliminate legal exemptions for gun manufacturers and ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Biden said “This is not a partisan issue among the American people,” Biden insisted.

Instead, the Ohio Expositions Commission, which runs the annual event, announced the fair will focus this year on agricultural and educational competitions for exhibitors and their families and friends. “While we are hopeful that we will soon be on the other side of this pandemic, the reality is that cases of COVID-19 remain high, and we just don’t know how things will look in July,” the announcement read. The commission outlined concerns for public health and the ﬁnancial perils of hosting a fair “This decision will not only help to protect the health and safety of Ohioans, it will also protect the long-term financial viability of the fair.” — Virgil Strickler, general manager under current COVID-19 safety protocols. “Although vaccination rates are improving signiﬁcantly each day, Ohio continues to ﬁght the battle against COVID19,” General Manager Virgil Strickler said in the release. “This decision will not only help to protect the health and safety of Ohioans, it will also protect the longterm ﬁnancial viability of the fair.” �OBITUARY/NEWS 2 Friday, April 9, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS OBITUARY JUSTIN B.

Maybe one of your friends won a huge prize in a contest or something. It was wonderful but yet hard to believe it happened. You may have seen a copy of a book called Ripley’s Believe It or Not at school or in the library. It is a book ﬁlled with examples of things that seem impossible but are really true. Well, that’s what happened to one of Jesus’ disciples named Thomas. It was the Sunday after Jesus was cruciﬁed (Easter Sunday), and Jesus’ disciples were together in a locked room in a local house. They were hid- and He was alive. Thoming there because they as didn’t believe them. were afraid that Jesus’ In fact, he said, “Unless I enemies would hurt see the nail marks in his them too. The Bible tells hands and put my ﬁnger us that, even though where the nails were, the doors were locked, and put my hand into his Jesus came in and stood there with His disciples. God’s Kids side, I will not believe As you can imagine, the Korner it.” (John 20: 24-25) A week later, the disdisciples were very, very Ann ciples were together in happy to see Him. After Moody that room again, and all, they thought He was this time Thomas was dead. with them. The doors were still One of the disciples, whose locked, but the very same thing name was Thomas, was not happened: all of a sudden, there with the others when Jesus was there standing in the Jesus appeared to them. We don’t know why Thomas wasn’t room with them. Jesus turned to Thomas and said, “See my there, but when the other dishands; put your ﬁngers here. ciples saw Thomas, they told Reach out your hand and put him that they had seen Jesus, it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” (John 20: 27) But Thomas didn’t need to touch the wounds. He fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” (John 20: 28-29) A lot of people still don’t believe that Jesus really rose from the grave and helps us even today because they haven’t seen Him with their own two eyes. Do you know what though? It is true whether they believe it or not! We have to accept Him by faith. Faith is believing in something even though you can’t see or touch it. That is sometimes hard, but if we ask Jesus to help us believe, He will. We can always count on Him to be with us and help us when we need Him. He promised us that, so we can rely on it! Let’s say a prayer thanking Jesus for that very thing. Jesus, thank You for always helping us with our doubts and fears. We know we can always count on You to be there for us and help us grow in our faith to believe that You are alive and with us every day. Amen.

Clearly, all those ing and victory of Jesus who were oppressive in Christ, for it is the deer the opposition to Jesus were gratiﬁed to give Jesus what they thought He deserved. The Scripture describes their administration of pain as though He were a worm. They gaped upon Him with their mouths like a ravening and roaring lion (22:13). The gaped mouth was an obscene gesture of eating up an opponent. They taunted and threatened and teased Him mercilessly from what the Psalmist indicates. Though sadists oppressively opposed the Deer of the Morning, Jesus endured the Cross because what it would accomplish for you and me. But Satan also oppressively opposed Him. Satan’s Anti-Christ activities are poignantly described in the Psalm by referring to Satan as a dog (22:20b), a lion’s mouth (22:21a), and a unicorn (20:21b). The “dog” is a ﬁlthy reference to Satan and his oppression. Like a ravenous dog, Satan pursued Christ with a heated passion — like a dog chasing a deer. The “lion’s mouth” refers to Satan’s oppressive tactics of intimidation. Imagine, if you will, the fear that staring into the mouth of a lion would bring. Furthermore, we read, “For thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorn.” The unicorn is mentioned eight times in the Bible. It probably refers to a wild ox, which had two horns. When seen in proﬁle, the two horns appeared as one. Since the unicorn was characteristically strong and untameable, its horns refer to tossing and turmoil. All told, Satan did all that he could — in conjunction with the sadists — to destroy Jesus, to detain Jesus, and to deter Jesus. But, Satan and the combined powers of his forces could not stem the tide of Gospel love from Heaven on behalf of all. As the Deer of the Morning, Jesus persevered despite being oppressively opposed. Faithful and true all the way through, the Deer of the Morning ran the range of redemption without giving in or up. Yet, all of this turns on us. From the vivid descriptions of oppression and opposition Christ endured, we, too, are confronted by the quality of own committed response to Christ. Unfortunately, some people say, “If only I could get a feeling about it.” Others say, “If only I could have the time.” We owe Jesus death! But, all He asks is commitment. We need to be better about commitment. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author.

Biden was joined at the event by Vice President Kamala Harris and Attorney General Merrick Garland. Garland said he was “under no illusions about how hard it is to solve the problem of gun violence” and emphasized a need for a “collective effort to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and save lives.” The Justice Department cannot solve the problem by itself, he said, but “there is work for the department to do, and we intend to do it.” It is currently legal to build a “ghost gun” in a home or a workshop, and there is no federal requirement for a background check. The Justice Department will issue a proposed rule requiring such gun kits be treated as ﬁrearms under the Gun Control Act, which would require that the parts be made with serial numbers and that buyers receive background checks. Months before Biden was elected, the federal government had already been working on a proposed rule that would change the deﬁnition of a ﬁrearm to include lower receivers, the essential piece of a semiautomatic riﬂe, in an effort to combat the proliferation of ghost guns and to stave off losing court battles over the issue. The process had been in the works in the waning months of the Trump administration, according to four people familiar with the matter.

During his time as a senior policy adviser with Giffords, he spent considerable effort pushing for greater regulation and enforcement on ghost guns, changes to the background check system and measures to reduce the trafﬁcking of illegal ﬁrearms. Chipman spent 25 years as an agent at the ATF, where he worked on stopping a trafﬁcking ring that sent illegal ﬁrearms from Virginia to New York, and served on the ATF’s SWAT team. Chipman is a gun owner. He is an explosives expert and was among the team involved in investigating the Oklahoma City bombing and the ﬁrst World Trade Center bombing. He also was involved in investigating a series of church bombings in Alabama in the 1990s. He retired from the ATF in 2012. During his campaign, Biden promised to prioritize new gun control measures as president, including enacting universal background check legislation, banning online sales of ﬁrearms and the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. But gun-control advocates have said that while they were heartened by signs from the White House that they took the issue seriously, they’ve been disappointed by the lack of early action. With the announcement of the new measures, advocates did laud Biden’s ﬁrst moves. “Each of these executive actions will start to address the epidemic of gun violence that has raged throughout the pandemic, and begin to make good on President Biden’s promise to be the strongest gun safety president in history,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety. ___ Associated Press writer Lisa Marie Pane in Boise, Idaho, contributed to this report. 0-9 — 45 cases (2.36 percent of county cases) 10-19 — 179 cases (9.38 percent of county cases) 20-29 — 330 cases (17.30 percent of county cases, 2 new cases) 30-39 — 320 cases (16.77 percent of county cases, 1 new case) 40-49 — 279 cases (14.62 percent of county cases, 1 new case) 50-59 — 280 cases (14.68 percent of county cases, 3 deaths, 4 new cases) 60-69 — 248 cases (13.00 percent of county cases, 7 deaths) 70-plus — 227 cases (11.90 percent of county cases, 31 deaths, 2 new cases) On Thursday, Mason County was designated as “green” on the West Virginia County Alert System map. Mason County’s latest infection rate was 12.93 on Thursday with a 2.50 percent positivity rate. Surrounding counties are green, yellow and orange. Ohio The Ohio Department of Health reported a 24-hour change of 2,742 new cases on Thursday (21-day average of 1,801), bringing Ohio’s overall case count since the beginning of the pandemic to 1,033,606 cases. There were 111 new hospitalizations (21day average of 88) and 21 new ICU admissions (21-day average of nine).

Another change announced Thursday concerns a proposed rule that will designate pistols used with stabilizing braces as short-barreled riﬂes, which require a federal license to own and are subject to a more thorough application process and a $200 tax. The department also is publishing model legislation within 60 days that is intended to make it easier for states to adopt their own “red ﬂag” laws. Such laws allow for individuals to petition a court to allow the police to conﬁscate weapons from a person deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. The department also will begin to provide more data on ﬁrearms trafﬁcking, starting with a new comprehensive report on the issue. The administration says that hasn’t been done in more than two decades. The Biden administration will also make investments in community violence intervention programs, which are aimed at reducing gun violence in urban communities, across ﬁve federal agencies. The president argued that gun violence was also a massive economic strain, citing the costs from hospital visits, legal fees, and the cost of keeping people in prison and providing therapy to victims and others. A majority of ﬁrearm deaths are from suicides. Biden is also nominating David Chipman, a former federal agent and adviser at the gun control group Giffords, to be director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Republican Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted had, no doubt, used the technique successfully dozens of times before. But one day last September, it was going very badly. Husted, 53, was back in southwest Ohio, where he had spent decades as a college football star, business professional and state lawmaker, to kick off a campaign rally for President Donald Trump. His joke was an attempt to promote maskwearing. Not only did the crowd not laugh, they booed. “All right, I get it,” he Health For those age 16 and 17 looking for the Pﬁzer vaccine — the only one approved for 16 and 17 year olds — the Gallia County Health From page 1 Department is offering the vaccine by appointment or on a walk-in including the mask mandate.

As DeWine’s technology chief, he has outlined ambitious plans like expanding broadband access and making technology credits available to young people. public and you do not need to be a Hopewell patient to receive the vaccine at the location.

Husted started 2020 as a rising Republican star. Following an uninterrupted two-decade climb from state representative to House speaker to state senator to secretary of state and, now, lieutenant governor, his next stop is supposed to be the governor’s residence. But his party’s hard turn to the right — including, for many, a deep hatred of COVID19 restrictions — has required deft recalculation. University of Cincinnati political scientist David Niven said Husted is trying to win the approval of the state and national Republican base without alienating more moderate ﬁnally said, awkwardly ending his joke about those forced to wear masks in grocery stores being able to “at least say that you’re trying to save the country” by wearing a Trump 2020-themed face covering. Even though he was there to promote the work he and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine were doing to elect Trump, someone heckled: “Get off the stage.” It was a seminal moment for Husted, the right-hand man to a governor who has caught grief from the Trump wing of the party for Ohio’s COVID-19 restrictions. Facing such reception, Husted has increasingly used provocative rhetoric on social media — punctuated most recently by a tweet using the phrase “Wuhan Virus,” decried 80° 54° 53° Daily Sentinel Clendenin 80/58 Charleston 81/57 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
