RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Someone who’s known to be as “cuddly as a cactus” has been (allegedly) causing some mischief in Rio Grande ahead of the village’s Christmas tree lighting on Saturday. Following some letters written in green ink to the village that bemoaned the holidays, the Grinch began appearing at various locations in the area. He was reported to be disturbing the peace in some instances but in every instance, his presence was made known via appearances posted on the social media pages of both the village and Rio Grande Mayor Matt Easter. Some of this “grinchy” activity included: Filling decorative Christmas boxes with coal at the feet of the Gatewood Trail Bigfoot statue; Tearing down a tree at Rio’s Dirty Laundry; Moving street signs on Lake Drive (no worries, they were later ﬁxed); Buying clothes at Cindiana’s Closet, noting he “wanted to look nice when he ruins Christmas in Rio Grande”; Getting a haircut at Rio Styles; Attempting to steal a Christmas tree from the Little Brick House Airbnb; Drinking coffee at Twinkleberries; See GRINCH | 12 Middleport council discusses paving, levies, grants Staff Report MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Village Council met in regular session earlier this month at village hall discussing paving, levies and grants, among other agenda items. Present were the following: Mayor Fred Hoffman; Council members Matt Lyons, Shawn Arnott, Ben Reed, Brian Conde, Susan Page, and Larry Byer. Also present were Fiscal Ofﬁcer Susan Baker, Police Chief Mony Wood, Village Administrator Joe Woodall, Building Inspector Mike Hendrickson, and Village attorney Richard Hedges. Visitors present were Charles Kitchen and Jessica Ashley. Opening prayer was given by Matt Lyons followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. According to a news release about the meet- ing, “The Mayor stated that, in his opinion, the village has had a good year and that we had used and continue to use ARPA funds to provide improvements which would not have happened otherwise. He stated that he felt we had a good group of employees and would like to see them rewarded for their efforts. The Mayor suggested that additional pay in the amount of $500 for full-time and $250 for part-time individuals be given to employees as extra pay during the Christmas season. He estimated this to cost about $16,000 and stated that it could be paid from wherever they desired but he felt it needed to be done.

Carroll said in the beginning of God’s Hands at Work toy donations were accepted, but after some time organizers were able to narrow down accepted items to things that were needed the most. “That room was full talking to folks,” Carroll said. “I thought it might take a little while for the word to get out [but] its just been one person after another.” When people ask how they can help, Carroll said donations and volunteers are always a need. “In January, we’re going to start doing two a month,” Carroll said. “The only problem I see is keeping stuff, enough Currently the Bundle of Blessings baby pantry is in need of larger stuff is going to be hard.

Some experts predict various COVID-19 therapies eventually will be prescribed in combination to better protect against the worst effects of the virus. Several smaller drugmakers are also expected to seek authorization for their own antiviral pills in coming months. Pﬁzer reported earlier this month that its pill cut hospitalizations and deaths by 89% among high-risk adults who had early symptoms of COVID-19. The company studied its pill in people who were unvaccinated and faced the worst risks from the virus due to age or health problems, such as obesity. If authorized, the FDA will have to weigh making the pill available for vaccinated people dealing with breakthrough infections. For best results, patients need to start taking the pills within three days of symptoms, underscoring the need for speedy testing and diagnosis. That could be a challenge if another COVID-19 surge leads to testing delays and shortages seen last winter. Pﬁzer’s drug is part of a decades-old family of antiviral drugs known as protease inhibitors, which revolutionized the treatment of HIV and hepatitis C. The drugs block a key enzyme which viruses need to multiply in the human body. That’s different than the Merck pill, which causes tiny mutations in the coronavirus until the point that it can’t reproduce itself. On Tuesday, Pﬁzer signed a deal a with U.N.backed group to allow generic drugmakers to produce low-cost versions of the drug for use in 95 countries, a move that could make the treatment available in more than half of the world’s population.

Attorneys for the pharmacies — CVS, Walgreens and Walmart — said that they had safeguards in place and that their employees would look for signs of suspicious orders.

Each of the counties in northeast Ohio say the crisis has cost them about $1 billion as it has overwhelmed courts, social services agencies and law enforcement. Roughly 80 million prescription painkillers were dispensed in Trumbull County alone between 2012 and 2016 — equivalent to 400 for every resident. In Lake County, some 61 million pills were distributed during that period. regulators testiﬁed during the trial that the companies broke any laws or were to blame. “Not one witness on the ground came and testiﬁed, ‘I saw CVS, I saw Walgreens, I saw Walmart do this,’ ” said Eric Delinsky, an attorney for CVS. Walgreens attorney Brian Swanson said that the companies followed proper procedures and that many others were responsible for the crisis, including the Food and Drug Administration and Drug Aid and Giant Eagle — already have settled lawsuits with the two Ohio counties. Attorney Mark Lanier, who represents the counties in the lawsuit, said the companies put proﬁt over public safety. “You can’t just point a ﬁnger at everyone else,” he said. The pharmacies were the last line of defense to stop the opioid abuse and missed many warning signs, Lanier said. Attorneys for the pharmacies told jurors that no law enforcement ofﬁcials or government counties failed to show that the pharmacies had a substantial role in the crisis, the attorneys said Monday during closing arguments in U.S. District Court. While the lawsuit involves just two counties, it is being closely watched because it could set the tone for U.S. city and county governments that want to hold pharmacies accountable for their roles in a crisis that has killed more than 500,000 people over the past two decades.

Tampa Bay’s speedy and powerful outﬁelder certainly didn’t play like one, either. Arozarena won AL Rookie of the Year honors with a superb follow-up to his 2020 postseason heroics while Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India earned NL Rookie of the Year on Monday night. The standout years for Arozarena and India highlight the changing proﬁle of a good MLB leadoff hitter. Both players have speed and a good eye, but also considerable power. It’s the ﬁrst time since 1953 that the rookie of the year winners were both primarily leadoff hitters. That season, Detroit’s Harvey Kuenn and Brooklyn’s Jim Gilliam won. If it didn’t seem like this wasn’t Arozarena’s ﬁrst year, there’s a reason. The 26-year-old Cuban provided India a stunning lift for the Rays during the 2020 postseason with 10 homers in 18 games during their run to the World Series. But Arozarena didn’t play enough during the 2020 regular season to lose his rookie status so he was eligible for the award this year. He followed up his postseason breakout with an excellent season in 2021, ﬁnishing with a .274 average, 32 doubles, 20 homers, 20 stolen bases and 69 RBIs while adding excellent defense, helping the Rays return to the postseason. “I know I was favored to be the rookie of the year,” Arozarena said through a translator. “But for me, my mind wasn’t set on the award or winning the award. My mind and my goal was to have another good season and continue what I had done the year before.” Arozarena earned 22 of 30 ﬁrst-place votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, beating out Houston right-hander Luis Garcia and Tampa Bay inﬁelder Wander Franco. Arozarena is Tampa Bay’s ﬁrst rookie of the year since outﬁelder Wil Myers in 2013. Five AL players received at least one ﬁrst-place vote in this year’s tally, including Garcia, Franco, Texas outﬁelder Adolis García and Cleveland pitcher Emmanuel Clase. Garcia hit 31 homers this season while Clase had a 1.29 ERA in Cleveland’s bullpen. The 20-year-old Franco has the label as one of MLB’s future stars and his performance in 2021 did nothing to discourage that billing. The inﬁelder hit .288 with seven homers and 39 homers while playing less than half the season. The 24-year-old Garcia was instrumental in the Astros’ run to the World Series this season.

Stroud is ﬁnding receivers Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith with a passing attack averaging 353.6 yards, tops in the Big Ten and sixth nationally. If Ohio State wins out, it’s most likely opponent in the conference title game would be Wisconsin, which has overcome a dismal 1-3 start and won six straight. The Badgers host Nebraska this weekend and ﬁnish at Minnesota. “We understand that’s the standard. Winning the West, that’s the standard,” Wisconsin cornerback Faion Hicks said. “The West comes through us. That’s something we’ve been doing for a while, what this program’s been doing for a while.” The Badgers, who have one of the nation’s best defenses, have been in the title game two of the past four seasons, with Northwestern representing the West Division the other two times. “The West is just so much more equal,” former coach and Big Ten Network analyst Gerry DiNardo said. “There is no clear-cut winner. In recent years, Wisconsin has done the best job with the talent they have.” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said the play in the Big Ten has been incredible this season. There have been close games and upsets almost every week. “I think when you kind of look at Ohio State where they are, I think they’ve set themselves apart from everyone else,” Fleck said. “I think that’s pretty easy to see. But when you look at everyone else that’s kind of in that mix, anybody can beat anyone on any given Saturday.” The ﬁnal two weeks will show whether the Michigans have been able to close the gap on Ohio State. The Spartans, a 19-point underdog to the Buckeyes, control their own fate. If they beat Ohio State and then Penn State at home the following week, they go to the conference title game with a shot to be in the College Football Playoff. “We put ourselves in a position to play meaningful games in November,” Michigan State coach Mel Tucker said. “We have a tremendous challenge ahead.” Soccer Union; Owen Elswick, Logan Elm; Zane Evans, Athens; Micah Geise, Unioto; Eli Hayton, From page 6 Chesapeake; Brady Jaunarajs, Athens; Logan Brady Jaunarajs, Johnson, Miami Trace; Athens; Landon Nathan Kallet, Athens; Long, Logan Elm; Landon Koscho, MariSekon Marol, Miami etta; Waylon Lamerson, Trace; Elijah McCain, Waverly; Dillon Meagle, Waverly; Anthony Langley, Miami Trace; Marietta; Alex Norris, Alexander; Noah Perry, Derek McAfee, Warren; Miami Trace; River Pet- Carson Moore, Waverly; Cohen Myers, Hillsboro; tigrew, Unioto; Dylan Rigsby, Hillsboro; Ron- Dayne Neff, Jackson; Ethan Neidhart, Alexnie Rowley, Fairﬁeld ander; Michael Parana, Union; Wes Saunders, Gallia Academy; Dylan Jackson; Sam Perdue, Warren; Ayden Roettker, Schurman, Hillsboro; Gallia Academy; Ethan Ashten Sigler, Unioto; Rooney, Fairﬁeld Union; Ashton Swann, JackJacob Scott, Circleville; son; Drake Teeters, Jacob Spears, ChesaWaverly; Cayden peake; JC Stark, Unioto; Wheeler, Marietta; Broc Williams, Jackson.

(AP) — The Green Bay Packers opened its sixth stock offering in franchise history Tuesday and sold $10 million worth of stock in the ﬁrst three hours, the team said. The NFL’s only community-owned club last offered stock 10 years ago. There are 300,000 shares available at $300 each, which the team promotes not as an investment in the common usage of the term, but rather as “pride of ownership.” The team has no obligation to repay the amount a buyer pays to purchase Packers stock. The Packers say anyone considering whether to buy stock in the team shouldn’t make the purchase in the interest of making a proﬁt or receiving a dividend or tax deduction. The team sold 33,000 shares in the ﬁrst three hours, WLUK-TV report- ed. The money will go to fund upgrades at Lambeau Field, including new video boards. Shares can be purchased online with credit cards, debit cards or electronic bank transfers. They’re also available by mail with a personal check or cashier’s check. Rookie ﬁrst-place vote. India said it’s been an amazing journey from spring training, where he was a longshot to even make the regularseason roster. “I didn’t really have a role on the team, I was just there to ﬁll in for some guys who weren’t playing,” India said. “I kind of took it personal. I just wanted to be a big leaguer this season and I made it a point to put my head down and grind.” India was the No. 5 overall pick in the 2018 draft and played third base in college at Florida, but he’s found a home at second base in the big leagues and become a cornerstone for the Reds’ future. His quick impact in the big leagues was somewhat surprising considering he had just 111 at-bats above Single-A before 2021. He was the Reds’ ﬁrst rookie of the year winner since pitcher Scott Williamson in 1999. The 6-foot, 200-pound India was an all-around threat — particularly during the second half of the season — often batting leadoff and ﬁnishing with a .269 average, 34 doubles, 21 homers, 69 RBIs and 12 stolen bases. He also showed good discipline in the batter’s box, coaxing 71 walks to ﬁnish with a .376 on-base percentage, and scored 98 runs. The 23-year-old Rogers ﬁnished second. He was chosen as an AllStar during an excellent season that included a 7-8 record and 2.64 ERA over 25 starts. The hardthrowing lefty struck out 155 batters over 133 innings. Carlson was part of a young, talented outﬁeld for a Cardinals team that made a late-season charge to the playoffs. Playing as a 22-year-old, he batted .266 with 18 homers and provided solid defense in all three outﬁeld spots.

(AP) — With two weeks left in the regular season, the Big Ten has positioned itself to get a third straight berth in the College Football Playoff, and possibly two if an avalanche of things go the right way. No. 5 Ohio State, No. 7 Michigan State and No. 8 Michigan all have 9-1 records and are in position to get the league a third straight spot in the playoff. It would be the league’s sixth berth in the eight years of the national championship tournament. There’s also a chance the Big Ten can get shut out, as it did in 2017 and ‘18. Think No. 19 Wisconsin (7-3), No. 18 Iowa (8-2), or Minnesota (6-4) winning the West Division and then the conference championship game. No team with more than one loss has made the ﬁnal four in college football. Getting two berths in the playoffs is a long shot. It would start with Michigan and Michigan State beating Ohio State in the ﬁnal two weeks. No. 1 Georgia (10-0) would have to beat No. 2 Alabama (9-1) in the SEC title game and No. 3 Cincinnati (10-0), No. 4 Oregon (9-1) and No. 6 Notre Dame (9-1) all would would have to lose another game. Don’t spend too much time thinking about that one. Concentrate on one team and focus on fourtime defending conference champion Ohio State, which ﬁnishes the season with games at home against Michigan State and away at Michigan. The Buckeyes have won 25 straight league games and have appeared in the conference title game ﬁve of the past seven years. “We got very good teams from top to bottom,” Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. “You have to bring it week in and week out. I think that’s the challenge right now. You’re seeing some really good teams in the league. It’s obviously a lot stronger this year than maybe in the last couple.” Ohio State leads the FBS in total offense, averaging 550.4 yards.

Keith Wood Meigs County Sheriff 11/10/21,11/17/21,11/24/21 11/10/21,11/17/21,11/24/21 11/10/21,11/17/21,11/24/21 �10 Wednesday, November 17, 2021 NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Lions, tigers and an unbearable year at Jack Hanna’s zoo By Julie Carr Smyth Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium had a bear of a year. It began Jan. 1, the ﬁrst day of famous zookeeper Jack Hanna’s retirement after 42 years as the beloved celebrity directorturned-ambassador of the nation’s second-largest zoo. As if the khaki-wearing “Jungle Jack” were the life’s breath of the institution that his upbeat animal-loving persona and masses of TV appearances made famous, the zoo seemed to deﬂate from there. In March, news of a ﬁnancial scandal broke. Top executives resigned. Investigations were launched. Mea culpas were issued. The next week, the zoo’s beloved 29-year-old bonobo Unga died, and a 4-year-old cheetah injured a zookeeper. Then in April, just as a streaming international TV channel named for him was launching, a damning animal rights documentary alleging Hanna had ties to the big cat trade premiered in California. A day later, in timing they said was unrelated, Hanna’s family announced he had demen- tia and would retire from public life. In October, citing the ﬁnancial and animal rights revelations, a commission of the respected Association of Zoos and Aquariums stripped the Columbus Zoo of its main accreditation. Zoo ofﬁcials ﬁled an intent to appeal last week. “It’s been a tough year for the Columbus Zoo, yes,” said association president Dan Ashe, while adding that the zoo’s roughly 2 million visitors a year can still be assured the facility’s 10,000 animals are well cared for. Ashe said bringing in Tom Schmid, who currently heads the Texas State Aquarium, as the zoo’s new leader bodes well: “He’s going to bring the Columbus Zoo roaring back.” Schmid, 56, begins his new job Dec. 6 as president and CEO of the zoo and its related businesses, including The Wilds safari park and conservation center and Zoombezi Bay water park. Keith Shumate, chair of the zoo’s board, called Schmid “extremely smart, ethical and passionate about zoos and wildlife conservation.” “We can’t change what happened in the past, but we’ve done a lot to admit those wrongs, to apologize and to address our shortcomings,” said zoo spokesperson Nicolle Gomez Racey. “The people who took liberties in their power are gone, and the people who are cleaning up the mess in the room, under new leadership, we’re moving forward. That’s the only thing you can do.” Interim CEO Jerry Borin has overseen zoo business since then-CEO Tom Stalf and his chief ﬁnancial ofﬁcer, Greg Bell, resigned in March after a Columbus Dispatch investigation found they allowed relatives to live in houses owned or controlled by the zoo and sought tickets for family members to attend entertainment events. The ﬁndings were conﬁrmed in subsequent reviews, including a forensic analysis that found ﬁnancial abuses by Stalf, Bell and two other former executives cost the zoo more than $630,000. Investigations by Ohio’s state auditor and attorney general are still underway, their spokespeople said. The spending abuse was a particularly painful blow after the pandemicrelated ﬁnancial hardship of 2020. Typically, Columbus Zoo is open 363 days a year. More than half its earned revenue comes from admissions and other sales, such as food and gift items. Yet, that year, it was closed for weeks, ultimately sustaining $20 million in operational losses. Twenty-nine full- and part-time employees were furloughed, and 33 nonanimal care positions across the zoo and The Wilds were eliminated. Yet even more wrenching were the accusations leveled in the documentary “The Conservation Game,” which premiered at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on April 6. The ﬁlm tied the zoo and Hanna to the big cat trade, showing that some tiger, lion and snow leopard cubs that had been Hanna’s fuzzy and adorable companions on TV neither came from nor returned to the zoo. In many cases, they were provided by backyard breeders and unaccredited roadside zoos and disappeared into private hands after those appearances. As publicity around the ﬁlm grew, Hanna’s relatives said they hadn’t seen it and could not comment on the claims. “What we can say emphatically is that he worked his entire career to better the animal world,” the family said in a statement. Ashe said the ﬁlm’s revelations, coupled with his association’s own growing ﬁle on the zoo’s Animal Programs department, weighed heavily in the decision to pull Columbus’ accreditation. “They were, and have been for some time, dealing with non-AZA members, and pretty clearly not disclosing those transfers,” Ashe said. “Those are very serious issues within our accreditation process.” Filmmaker Michael Webber said the zoo and its accreditors took his documentary’s allegations seriously. Over the summer, the zoo acknowledged the bulk of the ﬁlm’s revelations and apologized. It revised policies and reporting structures for acquisition and disposition of ambassador animals in the Animal Programs department. A longtime vice president of animal programs retired. “We made some mistakes. There’s no doubt about it,” Shumate told the Dispatch. Borin also reversed the zoo’s previous opposition — which the ﬁlm alleged had been spearheaded by Hanna — to The Big Cat Public Safety Act. He announced zoo support in April for the federal legislation prohibiting private ownership of big cats as pets and banning cub-petting venues. Racey said the reversal followed important revisions to the bill, which remains pending in Washington. Webber said he’s giving the zoo a second chance because of its robust response to the ﬁlm, and he hopes the public will, too. “I feel very good about the outlook both for the Columbus Zoo and for the animals that we’ve seen exploited for decades,” he said. “Albeit after a very painful year, things are going to be better.” Ashe said the year’s disclosures also have caused soul-searching within the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, where the Columbus Zoo has long been a ﬂagship institution and Hanna a superstar. “Our members live on their reputation for excellent care of animals, so whenever we see something like Columbus, which, quite frankly, we should have caught that earlier, it’s an opportunity for reﬂection and improvement,” he said. “That’s the silver lining in all of this. I think Columbus will be better as a zoological facility, and we’ll be better as an accrediting body, as well.” Classifieds "NOTICE OF SALE UNDER JUDGEMENT OF FORECLOSURE OF LEINS FOR DELINQUENT LAND TAXES" In the Court of Common Pleas, Gallia County, Ohio In the matter of Foreclosure of Liens for Delinquent Land Taxes by action in Rem.

Federal money is poised to flow to states to address a pent-up need to repair, improve or remove thousands of aging dams across the U.S., including some that could devastate downstream towns or neighborhoods. The money is included in a $1 trillion infrastructure bill signed by President Joe Biden and is significantly more than has gone to dams in the past. only to cover engineering or planning expenses. “This funding will allow for signiﬁcant increases in the number and amount of actual dam rehabilitation and removal projects which the current funding levels have not allowed,” said David Maurstad, FEMA’s deputy associate administrator for insurance and mitigation. Repairing and modernizing all 14,343 highhazard dams that aren’t owned by the federal government could cost more than $20 billion, according to an estimate by the dam safety association. “The program is not really intended to ﬁx all of them, but this will deﬁnitely help to ﬁx some of the worst of those,” said Mark Ogden, a former Ohio dam safety ofﬁcial who is now a technical specialist at the association. “It will deﬁnitely improve public safety.” The infrastructure legislation also includes $148 million for FEMA to distribute to state dam safety ofﬁces — a signiﬁcant increase over the $6 million to $7 million annually that has been divided among states. The new money could help states hire more staff or consultants to assess the safety of dams and develop emergency action plans. Every state except Alabama has a dam safety program, but many are underfunded and understaffed, creating a backlog of work. After dam failures resulted in ﬂooding that forced the evacuation of about 10,000 people last year in Michigan, a review by the dam safety association found the state’s dam safety ofﬁce was “extremely understaffed” and that it hadn’t invested in dam safety “for many decades.” Michigan responded by beeﬁng up its budget. A state spending plan that took effect last month includes $13 million for grants to repair and remove dams and $6 million for an emergency fund that could be tapped when dam owners are unwilling or unable to make repairs. It also includes money to hire more staff for the dam safety program. Additional dam funding is sprinkled throughout the federal infrastructure legislation. The Bureau of Reclamation will get $500 million over ﬁve years for its dam safety program, a 50% increase over its current annual appropriation. The money is likely to go toward major renovation projects at B.F. Sisk Dam on San Luis Reservoir in California and El Vado Dam in New Mexico, said reclamation dam safety ofﬁcer Bob Pike. That will free up other funds to hasten repairs at about 20 other high-hazard dams in the bureau’s footprint of 17 western states, he said. Reclamation will get an additional $100 million for repairs at certain old dams. An additional $118 million will fund repairs at dams through the Natural Resources Conservation Service. And $75 million will ﬂow through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a loan program to make dam repairs. The bill includes up to $800 million through several federal agencies that could be used to remove dams, allowing ﬁsh to pass through. The large inﬂux of federal funds shows that “removing dams in many places is good and appropriate and healthy for river resilience,” said Tom Kiernan, president of the nonproﬁt group American Rivers.

The ﬁrst shot at close 24, 2020, the day after range tore through an Associated Press Biden touts infrastructure bill at snowy, rusty bridge in NH By Colleen Long, Holly Ramer and Alexandra Jaffe Associated Press WOODSTOCK, N.H. — Fighting sagging poll ratings, President Joe Biden set out Tuesday on a national tour to persuade everyday Americans of the beneﬁts of his big, just-signed infrastructure plan. First stop: a snowy, rusty bridge in New Hampshire, a state that gave him no love in last year’s presidential primaries. Biden left the state in February of 2020 before polls had even closed on his ﬁfth-place primary ﬁnish. But he returned as president, eager to talk up the billions in investments in upgrading America’s roads, bridges and transit systems that he signed into law Monday. Walking across the rural New Hampshire bridge that’s been tagged a priority for repairs since 2014, Biden framed the infrastructure law in direct and human terms. He said it would have a meaningful impact here, from efﬁcient everyday transportation to keeping emergency routes open. “This isn’t esoteric, this isn’t some gigantic bill — it is, but it’s about what happens to ordinary people,” he said. “Conversations around those kitchen tables that are both profound as they are ordinary: How do I cross the bridge in a snowstorm?” Biden is down in the polls but hopes to use the successful new law to shift the political winds in his direction and provide fresh momentum for his broader $1.85 trillion social spending package now before Congress. The president held a splashy bipartisan bill-signing ceremony Monday for hundreds on the White House South Lawn, where lawmakers and union workers cheered and clapped. “America is moving again, and your life is going to change for the better,” Biden promised Americans. The president and members of his Cabinet are moving, too — spreading out around the country to showcase the package. Biden himself has stops Tuesday in Woodstock, New Hampshire, and Wednesday in Detroit to promote the new law as a source of jobs and repairs for aging roads, bridges, pipes and ports while also helping to ease inﬂation and supply chain woes. “As he goes around the country, he’s really going to dig into how these issues will impact people’s everyday lives, what they talk about at their kitchen tables,” said White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Also this week, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan will take a tour through the South, hitting Louisiana and Texas, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland will visit Massachusetts, California and the state she represented in Congress, New Mexico, and Vice President Kamala Harris will visit Ohio, among top administration ofﬁcials on the road.

Arbery was slain. The jury saw close-up photos of his injuries, which included several large abrasions to Arbery’s face from when he fell facedown in the street following the third gunshot. Photos of his clothing showed his T-shirt stained entirely red. Cellphone video of the shooting shows it had been white. Asked by Dunikoski how Arbery was able to ﬁght back after sustaining such a severe chest wound from the ﬁrst gunshot, the medical examiner called it a “ﬁght or ﬂight reaction” that raised his heart rate and blood pressure while sending adrenaline coursing through his body. He said ultimately Arbery would have bled to death from the initial chest wound alone. �NEWS 12 Wednesday, November 17, 2021 Light of Christmas Tree Project back Grinch From page 1 Posting Grinch grafﬁti on the Rio mural; Stopping by Rio Grande Elementary on Veterans Day, leaving a note that said “Blah on Christmas but veterans are awesome”; Temporarily changing gas prices to nearly $10 per gallon at Clark’s Pump-N-Shop in an ill-fated effort to “stop holiday travel” and much more.

POINT PLEASANT — The Light of Christmas Tree Project is returning for its seventh year to bring Christmas cheer to downtown and raise funds for Toys for Kids. Brandy Sweeney started the project the same year she received an LVAD (left ventricular assist device) and witnessing how the trees across the river in Gallipolis, Ohio lifted spirits. “I had told my husband if I lived to see next Christmas, we are starting this in Point Pleasant,” Sweeney said. Each year members of the community have the opportunity to purchase trees that they then decorate. Sweeney uses the Light of Christmas Tree Project to help raise funds for the Toys for Kids program that assists in providing toys to children for Christmas. The trees are displayed in Gunn Park until January, being lit during the Point Pleasant tree lighting. As previously reported by Ohio Valley Publish- Photos by Brandy Sweeney | Courtesy The Light of Christmas Tree Project lights up downtown with cheer and helps raise funds for Toys for Kids. The Light of Christmas Tree Project will display decorated trees from the beginning of December until the beginning of January. ing, it was announced by Point Pleasant City Council that both the annual parade and tree lighting are set for Dec. 3 with a rain date of Dec. 4. Details will be released when available. Each tree is $75 plus lights, decoration and extension cords, with $25 going to Toys for Kids and the rest providing the Christmas tree. The deadline to sponsor a tree is Friday, Nov. 19. Sweeney said applications can be dropped off at her house or sent to her via Facebook. The trees will be staked on Nov. 27 with tree sponsors decorating between Nov. 28 and Dec. 1. The trees will be on display until Jan. 1 and sponsors will need to have all decorations removed by Jan. 7 to allow the city to recycle the trees.

After a brief discussion, no action was taken on the request. He also stated that there was interest from an individual in establishing a medical marijuana pharmacy in the building formerly occupied by Goodwill Industries. Hedges stated this was considered as a pharmacy and there were no local restrictions on this other than what had been set by the state.

That’s always just like a dream.” Sweeney said people have asked what would happen if they run out of room for trees, something she said she has never had to encounter but would be a great problem to have. Sweeney said she encourages everyone to do a tree. She said businesses, churches and sports teams/organizations are welcome. Sweeney said trees can also be done in memory, or in honor of someone, or to raise awareness for a cause. Toys for Kids assists in providing Christmas gifts for kids zero to 16.

After a short discussion, it was agreed that the business owners had organized last year and this was usually the way parades were handled. Woodall stated he had assisted last year with the trees on the lot up town and would be willing to assist them again if they so desired. Ben Reed thanked council members Conde, Arnott, and Byer for running for election and congratulated them for being interested in council. Conde stated that there were several buildings in the downtown area that are being used only for storage and suggested that maybe the village should look into some kind of legislation to prevent this from happening. Hedges said that this would be a zoning issue. Conde also stated that the handicapped playground equipment would not be installed until spring. The Mayor suggested that the recreation committee submit a plan on where and how this equipment would be installed. Page pointed out that crosswalks uptown are in need of attention, especially in the area on Mill Street. Byer inquired on the status of the new truck which had been ordered. Woodall stated that we are still waiting and that delivery on many items is slow right now. Also speaking the the meeting was a resident of So. Second Ave., Charles Kitchen, discussing with council parking problems which he has near his home. Also, Jessica Ashley discussed with council the possibility of restoring some of the downtown business buildings to make them like Middleport used to be. She suggested maybe help could be obtained from the historical society and from other agencies. After discussion, the mayor and council offered to provide whatever assistance they could to Ashley in her endeavors. Ashley distributed copies of buildings in other communities that had been restored.
