WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep.
Steve Stivers of Ohio, the former campaign chair for House Republicans,
announced on Monday that he’s stepping down next month to oversee his
home state’s chamber of commerce.
Stivers has been serving in the
House since 2011 and enjoys strong
ties with GOP leadership. He had
been viewed as a potential candidate
to run for the seat held by Republican
Sen. Rob Portman, who’s retiring at
the end of 2022.
Instead, Stivers, 56, is leaving Congress effective May 16. The Republican said that he has focused his time
in Washington on economic policies
and “that is why I am looking forward
to this new opportunity with the Ohio
Chamber of Commerce, where I can
continue my efforts to support free
enterprise and economic growth here
in Ohio.”

Stivers was chair of the National
Republican Congressional Committee
in 2018, a challenging midterm election year when Republicans lost the
House majority. Democrats framed
the election as a referendum on thenPresident Donald Trump and swept to
victories across the country.
Currently, Democrats hold a 218212 edge over Republicans in the
House, and there are ﬁve vacancies.
Stivers represents a Republicanleaning district that the GOP will be
favored to keep when a special election occurs. He would have been in a
strong position ﬁnancially to retain
the seat next year, having raised nearly $1.4 million in the last fundraising
quarter.
Stivers served as a state senator
before running for Congress. In the

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police in
Ohio’s capital city say they are reviewing
the ﬂight pattern of a police patrol helicopter that spelled out the department’s
initials when viewed on a ﬂight tracking
application.
Columbus Division of Police ofﬁcials
said the helicopter took off just after midnight Saturday for a regularly scheduled
1 /2 hour ﬂight and responded on several
high-priority runs, including a stabbing
and an assault in progress.
But in between the dispatched runs,
the pilot “ﬂew a pattern which spelled
out “CPD” when later viewed on a ﬂight
tracking application,” the department said
in a statement. Ofﬁcials said that took
less than ten minutes, was done at normal
altitude and didn’t result in any missed
calls for service or additional fuel usage.

Point aims for historic 3-peat
Big Blacks, Wahama
combine for 14 entrants
in Class AA-A meet
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

HUNTINGTON, W.Va.
— There are two big
questions entering this
week’s Class AA-A wrestling tournament.
First, can anyone keep
Point Pleasant from capturing its third consecutive state title?
The other, can the Big
Blacks possibly be any
more dominant at Mountain Health Arena than
they were a year ago?
The Point Pleasant
wrestling team enters the
74th annual WVSSAC
championship as overwhelming favorites in the
Class AA-A ﬁeld, and the
2-time defending state
champs are aiming for a
3-peat performance of historical proportions this
Wednesday and Thursday
in Cabell County.
The Big Blacks have an
entrant in every weight
class and account for 14
of the 16 Mason County
representatives competing this week, with Wahama also sending a pair of
grapplers into the Class
AA-A brackets.
PPHS, however, has
ﬁve defending state
champions in its 14-man
lineup, as well as a quartet of podium ﬁnishers
from a year ago. Half of
those four non-champions
also placed second at last
season’s state meet.
The Big Blacks came

away with six individual
state champions, 10 top
three efforts and a dozen
podium ﬁnishes en route
to a winning tally of
266.5 points last year —
the second largest team
total in Class AA-A history, dating back to 1976.
Those half-dozen individual titles ended up
doubling the previous
program mark of three
state champions at one
state tournament. PPHS
also joined the 2001 Oak
Glen and 2017 Independence squads in producing six different state
champions at one meet,
the most in Class AA-A
tournament history.
In defeating runner-up
Braxton County (111)
by 155.5 points, the Big
Blacks did set a new
state record for winning
margin in a Class AA-A
tournament … surpassing
the 143.5-point mark previously set by Independence in 2017.
Point Pleasant also
came up three points
short of matching the
Class AA-A total points
record set by Oak Glen
(269.5) back in 2000.
All of that is relevant
this week because the
Big Blacks have enough
ﬁrepower to replicate last
year’s accomplishments …
and maybe even surpass
them.
Overall, the Red and
Black have nine state
qualiﬁers making repeat
trips to Mountain Health
Arena, as well as ﬁve
grapplers making their
ﬁrst career appearances
at the state level. Like last
year, PPHS also produced

a dozen individual champions at the Region IV
tournament.
Juniors Derek Raike
(21-2 overall this season)
and Justin Bartee (23-0)
are respectively aiming
for state titles in the 145and 160-pound divisions
after winning championships as both freshmen
and sophomores.
Senior Isaac Short (210) is also gunning for a
3-peat championship at
126 pounds after winning
crowns his sophomore
and junior campaigns.
Seniors Parker Henderson (20-1) and Mitchell
Freeman (22-1) are looking to repeat as state
champions in the 113and 152-pound divisions,
respectively.
Seniors Chris Smith
(23-2) and Wyatt Wilson
(16-2) are looking to
improve on runner-up
efforts last winter as they
respectively chase titles
at 132 pounds and 170
pounds.
Junior Mackandle
Freeman (18-5) also
competes at 138 pounds
after placing third a year
ago. Junior Brayden
Connolly (18-7) did not
place last year, but did
win a match at the state
level and heads into this
week in the 195-pound
bracket.
The newcomers to the
state tournament are
senior Nick Ball (19-3)
at 285 pounds, juniors
Zander Watson (14-8)
and Colby Price (21-2)
respectively at 182 and
220 pounds, and freshmen Nathan Wood (20-2)
and Conner Blessing (18-

2) at 106 pounds and 120
pounds.
Point Pleasant has
double-digit entrants
in the state tournament
for the 13th time in 14
years. PPHS also has all
14 weight classes ﬁlled
headed into state for the
fourth time in program
history, including a third
straight year.
The White Falcons
joined Calhoun County
for 11th place a year ago
in the Class A portion
of the AA-A meet, scoring nine points. Overall,
WHS ended up tied for
38th in the Class AA-A
ﬁeld.
The Red and White
have two state qualiﬁers
for a third straight year,
with sophomore Kase
Stewart (21-3) serving as
the lone repeat qualiﬁer
for Wahama. Stewart —
who did win one state
level match last year —
will be competing at 132
pounds.
Senior Gavin Stiltner
will make his state debut
in his ﬁnal week as a
Wahama grappler. Stiltner is 17-5 overall this
season and is competing
at 170 pounds.
The White Falcons
have scored at least one
point in 11 of the last 13
state tournaments overall.
The 2-day event at
Mountain Health Arena
starts Wednesday, with
opening round matches at
11 a.m.

Public health seeks steady
funding, not feast or famine

OHIO BRIEFS

Restored plane that led D-Day
bombing will visit Dayton
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A restored plane that led
the invasion of Normandy during World War II will
visit the National Museum of the United States Air
Force in Dayton this week.
The C-47 called “That’s All, Brother” will visit
the museum April 20 to 22, the Dayton Daily News
reported last week.
The plane led some 800 C-47s in the airborne
invasion on June 6, 1944, that dropped thousands of
paratroopers into northern France, the newspaper
reported. It was sold in 1945.
“Over the next several decades, this C-47 changed
hands many times and its historical signiﬁcance was
lost,” the museum said. “Ultimately, two historians
from the U.S. Air Force discovered that this historic
aircraft was lying in a boneyard in Wisconsin.”
An organization called the Commemorative Air
Force acquired the plane and restored it, including
its paint and interior, to match its condition in 1944,
the newspaper reported.
Lt. Col. John Donalson will pilot the plane to
Dayton. Visitors will be able to watch its landing
and take off from the museum’s Memorial Park,
and can tour the plane two at a time during certain
hours while it is on the runway, the newspaper
reported.

Congress has poured tens of
billions of dollars into state and
local public health departments in
response to the coronavirus pandemic, paying for masks, contact
tracers and education campaigns
to persuade people to get vaccinated.
Public health ofﬁcials, used
to juggling bare-bones budgets,
worry the money will dry up as
the pandemic recedes, continuing a boom-bust funding cycle
that has plagued the U.S. public
health system for decades. They
fear they’ll be back to scraping
together money from a patchwork
of sources to provide basic services to their communities — much
like after the Sept. 11 attacks and
the SARS and Ebola outbreaks.
That could leave the nation where
it was before COVID-19: unprepared for a health crisis.
“We need funds that we can
depend on year after year,” said
Dr. Mysheika Roberts, the Columbus, Ohio, health commissioner.
When Roberts started in
Columbus in 2006, an emergency
preparedness grant paid for more
than 20 staffers. By the time coronavirus hit, it paid for about 10.
Relief money that came through
last year helped the department
staff up its COVID-19 response
teams. While the funding has
helped the city cope with the
immediate crisis, Roberts wonders if history will repeat itself.
When the mosquito-borne Zika
virus tore through South America
in 2016, causing serious birth
defects, members of Congress
couldn’t agree how, and how
much, to spend in the U.S. for
prevention efforts. The Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-

Dr. Mysheika W. Roberts, the health commissioner for Columbus Public Health, poses for
a portrait Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio. Public health officials who have juggled barebones budgets for years are happy to have the additional money prompted by the COVID19 pandemic. “We need funds that we can depend on year after year,” Roberts said.

tion took money from its Ebola
efforts, and from state and local
health department funding, to
pay for the initial Zika response.
Congress eventually allocated
$1.1 billion for Zika, but by then,
mosquito season had passed in
much of the U.S.
“Something happens, we throw
a ton of money at it, and then in
a year or two we go back to our
shrunken budgets and we can’t
do the minimum things we have
to do day in and day out, let
alone be prepared for the next
emergency,” said Chrissie Juliano,
executive director of the Big Cities Health Coalition, which represents leaders of more than two
dozen public health departments.
Several lawmakers, led by Democratic U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of
Washington, are looking to end
the boom-bust cycle with legislation that would provide $4.5 billion annually in core public health
funding. Health departments
carry out essential government
functions — such as managing

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Politicians, religious
leaders and community activists in Ohio’s capital
city called Monday for protests to remain peaceful as
a verdict nears in the trial of the ofﬁcer who killed
George Floyd.
The plea for calm also came as Columbus experiences record gun violence and is reeling from another fatal police shooting.
On April 12, Columbus police shot and killed
Miles Jackson at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital
after a struggle that began when police realized Jackson had a gun in his sweatpants. Jackson, 27, was
Black; the ofﬁcers were white.
On Saturday, a drive-by shooting at a memorial
vigil for an earlier homicide victim killed a passing
motorist. Columbus has seen a record 60 homicides
to date this year, a ﬁgure not reached until July 2 last
year.
“All of us here want to implore our city and citizens, to please—even if you protest—to do it peacefully, and to do it knowing that all of us are ﬁghting
for justice, and we are demanding justice,” said
Bishop Timothy Clarke, who leads First Church of
God in Columbus. Clarke oversaw funerals for Casey
Goodson Jr. and Andre Hill, Black men killed by
white ofﬁcers in December.

infectious outbreaks.
Spending for state public health
departments dropped by 16% per
capita from 2010 to 2019, and
spending for local health departments fell by 18%, KHN and The
Associated Press found in a July
investigation. At least 38,000
public health jobs were lost at the
state and local level between the
2008 recession and 2019.
Compounding those losses, the
pandemic has prompted an exodus
of public health ofﬁcials because
of harassment, political pressure
and exhaustion. A yearlong analysis by the AP and KHN found at
least 248 leaders of state and local
health departments resigned,
retired or were ﬁred between April
1, 2020, and March 31, 2021.
Nearly 1 in 6 Americans lost a
local public health leader during
the pandemic. Experts say it’s the
largest exodus of public health
leaders in American history.
