(AP) — Three groups are asking the West Virginia Public Service Commission to reconsider a decision allowing Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power to keep three plants operational through at least 2040. West Virginia Citizen Action Group, Solar United Neighbors, and Energy Efﬁcient West Virginia ﬁled a petition Friday asking the panel to revisit the issue, The Parkersburg News and Sentinel reported. Utility regulators voted this month to approve the request involving the three coal-ﬁred power plants. The companies are upgrading the John Amos plant in Winﬁeld, the Mountaineer plant in New Haven and the Mitchell plant in Moundsville to comply with federal environmental regulations. The companies are seeking a 3.3% increase for customers in West Virginia to help subsidize environmental improvements after regulators in Kentucky and Virginia declined requests to help pay for the improvements. The Public Service Commission would have to approve the increase, though a surcharge increase for the Mitchell plant was approved in August.

In divided vote, 2nd city in Ohio enacts ban on abortion MASON, Ohio (AP) — A second Ohio city has voted to criminalize abortion within its limits, a largely symbolic move decried by abortion rights backers as unconstitutional at a raucous hourslong meeting. A divided city council in Mason, a city of about 30,000 located 25 miles (40.23 kilometers) northeast of Cincinnati, approved the ordinance 4-3 Monday, deferring its effective date for 30 days. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Republicans on the panel disagreed over whether the move was within the city’s authority. Anti-abortion and abortion-rights protestors demonstrated outside Mason’s municipal building and ﬁlled the council chambers to capacity. Neither Mason nor nearby Lebanon, which became the ﬁrst city in Ohio to ban abortions in May, has any abortion clinics or is planning any. The Mason ordinance forbids possession within city limits of abortioninducing drugs, including prescription misoprostol and mifepristone, but carries no penalties for someone seeking an abortion. Misoprostol and mifepristone require a prescription and are administered in some doctor’s ofﬁces, abortion clinics Kareem Elgazzar | The Cincinnati Enquirer via AP Meeting attendees listen as Mason city council pass an ordinance criminalizing abortions within the city limits on Monday in Mason, Ohio. Neither Mason nor nearby Lebanon, which became the first city in Ohio to ban abortions in May, has any abortion clinics or is planning any. and Planned Parenthood health centers. The legislation included exceptions for “accidental miscarriages,” ectopic pregnancies and the life of the mother. Mason Councilmember Mike Gilb, who voted yes, said, “We should be clear that we don’t support the business of death, that all lives matter, from the moment your heart starts beating to the moment it stops beating.” Councilmember Diana Nelson, who opposed the ordinance, said it deﬁes the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which states that federal law takes precedent over state law. Abortion remains legal in Ohio and the rest of the country following a 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that said women have a constitutional right to seek an abortion. Other small Ohio cities — Celina in Mercer County, and London in Madison County — are considering similar measures, part of a national effort emanating from Right to Life East Texas. Ohio is one of three states targeted so far. Celina’s city council voted 4-2 against an abortion ban there on its ﬁrst reading Monday. The ordinance will still move forward to second and third readings. Kersha Deibel, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio, said the Mason ban was not only outside the council’s authority, it has “now opened up the city of Mason to public ridicule, promised boycotts and costly litigation.” Mike Gonidakis, president of Ohio Right to Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion group, said Mason is the 41st city nationally to ban abortion. He called the ordinance “a stand against the violence of abortion and for the protection of women and babies.” Wildlife agencies to cancel Trump implemented endangered species rules By Matthew Brown Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — President Joe Biden’s administration announced Tuesday plans to cancel two environmental rollbacks under former President Donald Trump that limited habitat protections for imperiled plants and wildlife. The proposal to drop the two Trump-era rules by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service is part of a broad effort by the Biden administration to undo regulations that Democrats and wildlife advocates say favored industry over the environment. The designation of lands and waters as critical for the survival of vulnerable species can limit mining, oil drilling and other development. That’s made the designations a ﬂashpoint for conﬂict between environmental and business interests. Industry groups and Republicans in Congress have long viewed the Endangered Species Act as an impediment to economic development. Under Trump, they success- fully lobbied to weaken the law’s regulations with changes that gave added weight to economic development and other interests. The Trump administration changes had backing from an array of industry groups that said economic impacts had not been given enough consideration in past U.S. government wildlife decisions. Those groups ranged from livestock and ranching organizations to trade associations representing oil, gas and mining interests. Biden administration ofﬁcials acknowledged in documents published to the federal register that in canceling Trump’s rules, they were adopting views that federal wildlife agencies rejected just months ago. But the Biden administration ofﬁcials said a reevaluation of the Trump policies showed them to be “problematic” because they limited the government’s ability to advance conservation by protecting areas where plants and animals are found. Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks Shannon Este- noz said the proposal would bring the endangered species law “back into alignment with its original intent and purpose — protecting and recovering America’s biological heritage for future generations.” The rule changes under Trump were ﬁnalized during his last weeks in ofﬁce, meaning they’ve had little time to make a signiﬁcant impact. No new critical habitat designations have been affected by the rules since they went into effect in January, Fish and Wildlife spokesperson Brian Hires said. One allows the government to deny habitat protections for endangered animals and plants in areas that could see greater economic beneﬁts from development. Democratic lawmakers and wildlife advocates complained that would potentially open lands to more drilling and other activities. The other rule provided a deﬁnition of “habitat” that critics charged would exclude locations species might need to use in the future as climate change upends ecosystems. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, October 27, 2021 3 TODAY IN HISTORY Associated Press the Boston Red Sox, 8-5, in game 7 played at Shea Stadium.

The ﬁrst lady’s multiple recent South Carolina visits have showcased the administration’s appreciation for the state. The ﬁrst balloting in the South, with the ﬁrst heavily Black electorate for Democratic candidates, South Carolina was the scene of Joe Biden’s political resurrection, following lackluster performances in earlier contests in 2020. Days ahead of the primary, Biden won the endorsement of longtime ally U.S. House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking Black member of Congress and the dean of South Carolina’s Democrats. Winning South Carolina by nearly 30 percentage points, Biden’s victory was enough to bounce out a handful of competitors who endorsed him in swift succession. The triumph also helped propel him to wins across Super Tuesday states, momentum that carried Biden to the party’s nomination. FDA advisers back COVID-19 vaccine for young kids By Lauran Neergaard and Matthew Perrone tines and having to say no to sleepovers and other rites of childhood to keep the virus at bay. States are getting ready to roll out shots for little arms -- in special orange-capped vials to distinguish them from adult vaccine -- as soon as the government gives the OK. More than 25,000 pediatricians and other primary care providers have signed up so far to offer vaccination. Pﬁzer’s study tracked 2,268 children ages 5 to 11 who got two shots three weeks apart of either a placebo or the kid dose. Vaccinated youngsters developed levels of virus-ﬁghting antibodies just as strong as teens and young adults who got the full-strength shots. And so far, 16 kids given dummy shots developed symptomatic COVID-19 compared to three vaccinated youngsters, meaning the vaccine was nearly 91% effective. Most of the study data was collected in the U.S. during August and September as the delta variant surged. The kid dosage also proved safe, with similar or fewer temporary side Associated Press WASHINGTON — A panel of U.S. health advisers on Tuesday endorsed kid-size doses of Pﬁzer’s COVID-19 vaccine, moving the U.S. closer to beginning vaccinations in children ages 5 to 11. A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted unanimously with one abstention that the vaccine’s beneﬁts in preventing COVID-19 in that age group outweigh any potential risks — including a heart-related side effect that’s been very rare in teens and young adults who get a much higher dose. The FDA isn’t bound by the panel’s recommendation and is expected to make its own decision within days. If the FDA authorizes the kid-size doses, there’s still another step: Next week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will have to decide whether to recommend the shots and which youngsters should get them.

The extracontagious delta variant has caused an alarming rise in pediatric infections -- and families are frustrated with school quaran- have faced substantial illness -- including over 8,300 hospitalizations, about a third requiring intensive care, and nearly 100 deaths, FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks told the advisory panel. Also, “infections have caused many school closures and disrupted the education and socialization of children,” he said. “I want to acknowledge the fact that there are strong feelings” among the public for and against child vaccinations, Marks added, noting that the effects — such as sore arms, fever or achiness — that teens experience. At FDA’s request, Pﬁzer more recently enrolled another 2,300 youngsters into the study, and preliminary safety data has shown no red ﬂags. The study isn’t large enough to detect any extremely rare side effects, such as the heart inﬂammation that occasionally occurs after the second dose, mostly in young men and teen boys. The FDA’s panel of independent experts will weigh whether Pﬁzer’s shot is likely to prevent more COVID-19 hospitalizations in young kids than might be caused by that rare side effect. The FDA analysis calculated that in most scenarios of the continuing pandemic, the vaccine would prevent roughly 200 to 250 COVID-19 hospitalizations for every 1 million youngsters vaccinated, with about 58 hospitalizations for the heart inﬂammation. The side effect risk is based on levels in teens, and Pﬁzer expects it to be far lower in youngsters getting the kid-size dose.

By altering how posts about vaccines are ranked in people’s newsfeeds, researchers at the company realized they could curtail the misleading information individuals saw about COVID-19 vaccines and offer users posts from legitimate sources like the World Health Organization. “Given these results, I’m assuming we’re hoping to launch ASAP,” one Facebook employee wrote, responding to the internal memo about the study. Instead, Facebook shelved some suggestions from the study. Other changes weren’t made until April. When another Facebook researcher suggested disabling comments on vaccine posts in March until the platform could do a better job of tackling anti-vaccine messages lurking in them, that proposal was ignored. Critics say the reason Facebook was slow to take action on the ideas is simple: The tech giant Leo Correa | AP file Oumie Nyassi shows a video circulating on the internet and that has been confirmed as fake news of a woman claiming she was magnetized after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine at Serrekunda, Gambia hospital. Last spring, as false claims about vaccine safety threatened to undermine the world’s response to COVID-19, researchers at Facebook wrote that they could reduce vaccine misinformation by tweaking how vaccine posts show up on users’ newsfeeds, or by turning off comments entirely. Yet despite internal documents showing these changes worked, Facebook was slow to take action. worried it might impact the company’s proﬁts. “Why would you not remove comments? Because engagement is the only thing that matters,” said Imran Ahmed, the CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, an internet watchdog group. “It drives attention and attention equals eyeballs and eyeballs equal ad revenue.” In an emailed statement, Facebook said it has made “considerable progress” this year with downgrading vaccine misinformation in users’ feeds. Facebook’s internal discussions were revealed in disclosures made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and provided to Congress in redacted form by former Facebook employeeturned-whistleblower Frances Haugen’s legal counsel. The redacted versions received by Congress were obtained by a consortium of news organizations, including The Associated Press. The trove of documents shows that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Facebook carefully investigated how its platforms spread misinformation about life-saving vaccines. They also reveal rank-and-ﬁle employees regularly suggested solutions for countering antivaccine content on the site, to no avail. The Wall Street Journal reported on some of Facebook’s efforts to deal with antivaccine comments last month. Facebook’s response raises questions about whether the company prioritized controversy and division over the health of its users. “These people are selling fear and outrage,” said Roger McNamee, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist and early investor in Facebook who is now a vocal critic. “It is not a ﬂuke. It is a business model.” Typically, Facebook ranks posts by engagement — the total number of likes, dislikes, comments, and reshares. That ranking scheme may work well for innocuous subjects like recipes, dog photos, or the latest viral singalong. But Facebook’s own documents show that when it comes to divisive public health issues like vaccines, engagementbased ranking only emphasizes polarization, disagreement, and doubt. To study ways to reduce vaccine misinformation, Facebook researchers changed how posts are ranked for more than 6,000 users in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, and the Philippines. Instead of seeing posts about vaccines that were chosen based on their popularity, these users saw posts selected for their trustworthiness. The results were striking: a nearly 12% decrease in content that made claims debunked by fact-checkers and an 8% increase in content from authoritative public health organizations such as the WHO or U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Those users also had a 7% decrease in negative interactions on the site. Employees at the company reacted to the study with exuberance, according to internal exchanges included in the whistleblower’s documents. “Is there any reason we wouldn’t do this?” one Facebook employee wrote in response to an internal memo outlining how the platform could rein in anti-vaccine content. Billionaire tax runs into criticism; big Biden plan in flux By Lisa Mascaro, Darlene Superville and Alan Fram Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Democrats’ idea for a new billionaires’ tax to help pay for President Joe Biden’s social services and climate change plan has quickly run into criticism as too cumbersome, but party leaders insisted on Tuesday that a deal on Biden’s big agenda was still within reach. With the revenue side of the package deeply in ﬂux, the Democrats continued to press for an agreement to show progress before the president departs later this week to global overseas summits. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told lawmakers during a caucus meeting they were on the verge of “something major, transformative, historic and bigger than anything else” ever attempted in Congress, according to a person who requested anonymity to share the private remarks. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer opened the Senate with a simple message: “We’re working to get it done.” However, vast differences among Democrats remain over the basic contours of the sweeping proposal and how to pay for it. It’s now estimated to total at least $1.75 trillion over 10 years, and could still be more. From the White House, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Biden’s preference was still to have a deal in hand before departing, but she acknowledged that might not happen, forcing him to keep working on the package from afar. “There are phones on Air Force One and also in Europe,” Psaki told reporters. In the meantime, she downplayed the billionaires’ tax as among several tax and revenue options being discussed. More lawmakers journeyed to the White House for negotiations in the afternoon and Psaki insisted talks were progressing: “We are almost there.” Resolving the revenue side is key as the Democrats scale back what had been a $3.5 trillion plan, insisting all the new spending will be fully paid for and not pile onto the debt. Biden vows any new taxes would hit only the wealthy, those earning more than $400,000 a year, or $450,000 for couples. The White House had to rethink its tax strategy after one key Democrat, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., objected to her party’s initial proposal to raise tax rates on wealthy Americans by undoing the Trump-era tax cuts on those earning beyond $400,000. Sinema also opposed lifting the 21% corporate tax rate. With a 50-50 Senate, Biden has no votes to spare in his party. Instead, to win over Sinema and others, the White House has been ﬂoating a new idea of taxing the assets of billionaires and another that would require corporations to pay a 15% minimum tax, regardless of if they show any proﬁts. Those both appear to be gaining traction with another pivotal Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who told reporters he supported new ways to ensure the wealthy to pay their “fair share.” Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee, led by Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, are prepared to roll out the tax revenue plan in a matter of days. It is likely to include other revenue-raising tax measures, though a plan to beef up the IRS to go after tax scofﬂaws faces new resistance from Manchin. “Here’s the heart of it: Americans read over the last few months that billionaires were paying little or no taxes for years on end,” Wyden said at the Capitol. The billionaires’ tax is being modeled on a 2019 bill from Wyden to treat assets as income. Another idea, up to a 3% ultra-rich surtax, has been proposed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

Rodriguez Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — A powerful atmospheric river storm that swept through California set rainfall records and helped douse wildﬁres. But it remained to be seen how much of a dent it made in the state’s drought. The weather system weakened as it moved south but still dropped enough rain Monday evening to cause mudslides that closed roads in the San Bernardino Mountains northeast of Los Angeles. The atmospheric river storm, a long and wide plume of moisture pulled in from the Paciﬁc, came ashore in Northern California over the weekend. Drenching rains caused widespread ﬂooding and rock slides. Strong winds knocked down trees and toppled two big trucks on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge near San Francisco. Paciﬁc Gas & Electric reported that 646,000 homes and businesses lost power, though most had it back by Monday. By early Tuesday, light rain and snow was still Update From page 1 the best and the worst Halloween candies.

Poll: Majority in US concerned about climate WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden heads to a vital U.N. climate summit at a time when a majority of Americans regard the deteriorating climate as a problem of high importance to them, an increase from just a few years ago. About 6 out of 10 Americans also believe that the pace of global warming is speeding up, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago. Dartmouth College and co-lead of the Drought Task Force at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the cycle of going from years-long drought to record-breaking downpours is expected to continue because of climate change. “While this rain is welcome, it comes with these hazards, and it won’t necessarily end the drought,” Mankin said. “California still needs more precipitation, and it really needs it in high elevations and spread out over a longer time so it’s not hazardous.” Christy Brigham, chief of resource management and science at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, said the rain was a big relief after the Caldor Fire torched an unknown number of the giant trees in the park, along with thousands of pines and cedars. “This amount of rainfall is what we call a seasonending event,” Brigham said. “It should end ﬁre season, and it should end our need -- to a large degree -- to ﬁght this ﬁre.” Home From page 1 campaign.
