WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden opened the holiday season at the White House by breaking off a sprig from the ofﬁcial Blue Room tree and giving it — and a big smooch — to her toddler grandson. “Look how beautiful this is,” the ﬁrst lady said of the 18 1/2-foot (5.6 meter) Fraser ﬁr that was delivered by wagon to her Pennsylvania Avenue doorstep by Clydesdale horses named Ben and Winston. “It is beautiful. It’s magniﬁcent, See MAP | 14 Democratic group sues over Ohio GOP’s new district map By Julie Carr Smyth See CONCERT | 14 Associated Press really,” she said Monday. The ﬁrst lady later joined President Joe Biden for a visit to the Army’s Fort Bragg in North Carolina to celebrate “friendsgiving” with service members and military families. The two events set off a White House holiday season that is expected to be much more festive this year, as public health ofﬁcials encourage those vaccinated against COVID-19 to get together in person, instead of begging Americans to stay home, as they’ve done for holidays past. The holiday tree was presented by COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s newly drawn map of congressional districts was hit with its ﬁrst constitutional challenge, which alleges the boundaries represent partisan gerrymandering by Republicans. The lawsuit was ﬁled Monday in Ohio Supreme Court by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee’s legal arm on behalf of a group of Ohio voters.

Mike DeWine signed into law a map of new congressional districts on Saturday that will be in effect for the next four years, despite objections from Democrats and voting rights groups. DeWine said in a statement that, compared with other proposals from House and Senate lawmakers from both parties, the Senate legislation he signed “makes the most progress to produce a fair, compact, and competitive map.” The redistricting measure cleared the state Legislature along party lines with House approval Thursday after a breakneck sprint through both chambers, amid praise from majority Republicans. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Wednesday, November 24, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing OBITUARIES JOSEPH R.

Snowshoe Mountain opens to skiers this week SNOWSHOE, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia ski resort is opening some of its trails to the public on Thanksgiving. Snowshoe Mountain said it will start the ski season for the general public on Thursday with a limited number of trails.

Lake and Trumbull counties were able to convince the jury that the pharmacies played an outsized role in creating a public nuisance in the way they dispensed pain medication into their communities. Attorneys for the three pharmacy chains maintained they had policies to stem the ﬂow of pills when their pharmacists had any concerns and would notify authorities about suspicious orders from doctors. They also said it was the doctors who controlled how many pills were being prescribed for legitimate medical needs. Two other chains — Rite Aid and Giant Eagle — already have settled lawsuits with the two Ohio counties. Attorney Mark Lanier, who represented the counties in the lawsuit, said during the trial that the pharmacies were attempting to blame everyone but themselves. CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — The van in a crash with a tractor-trailer that killed ﬁve of its passengers had been leased to an organization that serves adults with developmental disabilities, and it was the vehicle that crossed the center line of an Ohio highway and hit the truck, ofﬁcials said Tuesday. Troopers are still investigating why the van went left of center Monday in Geauga County’s Newbury Township and hit a commercial tractor attached to a ﬂatbed trailer, according to a statement from the state patrol. The Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities said it owned the van and leased it to a nonproﬁt organization serving adults with developmental disabilities. That group, SAW Inc., told reporters it is cooperating with investigators. Five adults in the van were killed, including the 62-year-old driver. The four passengers who were killed ranged in age from 28 to 57; three were from Cleveland and one was from University Heights, authorities said. It was not clear Tuesday whether the four were clients of SAW Inc. Two passengers in their 40s who were taken to a hospital with serious injuries were stable Tuesday, according to the patrol. The truck driver, a 31-year-old Geneva resident, also went to the hospital with injuries not considered lifethreatening. State board settles for $1.8M in wrongful conviction case COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A state panel has approved paying a more than $1.8 million to an Ohio man who was acquitted of murder charges after spending 18 years in prison. The state Controlling Board on Monday approved the settlement with Anthony Lemons, of Cleveland. He was convicted in 1995 of killing Eric Sims mainly on the basis of a witness who claimed he was wearing a pair of Nike sneakers. But during an appeal, it was learned that Cleveland police knew before the trial that Nike did not make the sneakers until after the killing. His lawyers were not told. Lemons was freed after prosecutors dropped charges against him in December 2014, though they stopped short of conceding his innocence. That stymied his bid for compensation and resulted in a lengthy legal battle. Lemons pursued a wrongful conviction certiﬁcate from another judge, who denied Lemons’ request to be declared innocent. A judge in 2019 ruled he was wrongfully convicted, and an appeals court upheld the ruling. Seasonal & Everyday Decor Unique Gift Ideas Vera Bradley Park Designs Be sure to visit our 2nd ﬂoor...

Michigan’s defense braces for Buckeyes’ high-flying attack By Mitch Stacy AP Sports Writer COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State’s dazzling offensive stars are about to run into one of the best defenses they’ve seen this season. This year’s edition of The Game could come down to how well the revamped defense of No. 6 Michigan can slow down the proliﬁc scoring march of quarterback C.J. Stroud and the No. 2 Buckeyes. The Wolverines have held opponents this season to an average of 16.3 points per game. Ohio State scored 49 last week — in the ﬁrst half. Something’s got to give Saturday in the Big House. “I think that’s something that all the coaches and players on both teams are trying to ﬁgure out right now,” said Jim Harbaugh, who is 0-5 against Ohio State as the Michigan head coach. “Been spending weeks, spending every minute they can to answer that same question.” There are huge implications. The winner moves on to the Big Ten championship game on Dec. 4 and stays in contention for the College Football Playoff. The loser drops out of the spotlight. Stroud, a Heisman Trophy hopeful, has the Buckeyes (10-1, 8-0 Big Ten) roaring. They’re averaging an FBS-leading 560 yards and 47.2 points per game. The redshirt freshman, who threw his ﬁrst pass in a college football game less than three months ago, tied a school record with six touchdowns — all in the ﬁrst half — as Ohio State rolled up a season-high 655 yards in last week’s blowout of then-No. 7 Michigan State. He’s averaging 345.8 passing yards. Receivers Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have combined for nearly 3,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. “Their route-running ability, their catching ability, their speed to all parts of the ﬁeld — really outstanding,” Harbaugh said. True freshman running back TreVeyon Henderson’s average carry of 7.32 yards is second-best in the nation. “We’ve been conﬁdent the whole year, but being able to click on all cylinders these past few weeks has boosted our conﬁdence a lot more,” Olave said. “I feel like we’re having a lot more fun, spreading the ball around.” Said Buckeyes tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere: “The See MICHIGAN | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, Nov. 24 Girls Basketball Southern at Trimble, 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 26 Boys Basketball Meigs at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Miller at Southern, 7 p.m. College Football Ohio at Bowling Green, noon Saturday, Nov. 27 Girls Basketball Gallia Academy at Pike Eastern, 1:15 Boys Basketball Eastern at River Valley, 7:30 Southern at Beallsville, 7 p.m. College Football Ohio State at Michigan, noon Western Kentucky at Marshall, 3:30 West Virginia at Kansas, 7 p.m. ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — The Meigs girls basketball team started its 2021-22 campaign with a 63-55 home victory against the Belpre Lady Eagles Monday evening. After a brief tie in the opening possesions of Monday’s game, the Lady Marauders (1-0) jumped ahead 7-2. Although the Lady Eagles (0-2) cut it close on the scoreboard, they were unable to tie the game again. The Lady Marauders took advantage of Belpre’s communication errors early on in the game, turning turnovers into points on the board. Meigs ended the ﬁrst quarter with a 18-13 lead. Both defenses had a stronger showing in the second quarter, with the Maroon and Gold keeping the visiting Lady Eagles to only 10 points in those eight minutes, extending their lead to 33-23 heading into halftime. Belpre attempted a comeback in the third quarter, starting off on a 14-3 scoring run. The road team even brought the score to within a single point on two occasions, ending the third quarter down 43-42. However, the Lady Marauders pulled away with three consecutive 3-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter, trouncing any hopes the Lady Eagles had for their comeback. As the ﬁnal eight minutes wore on, Meigs took advantage on the free throw opportunities, netting seven points from the charity stripe in the ﬁnal quarter. In scoring, the Lady Marauders were led by senior Mallory Hawley, who scored one three pointer, six ﬁeld goals and four free throws for 19 points. Behind her was junior Jennifer Parker with 12 points and sophomore Andrea Mahr with 11.

Visiting Symmes Valley used an 8-0 run to close to within 23-22 midway through the second quarter, but the South Gallia girls basketball team countered with a 50-13 surge over the ﬁnal 20-plus minutes of regulation and ultimately cruised to a 73-35 non-conference victory Monday night in Gallia County. The Lady Rebels (2-0) had four players reach double ﬁgures in their home opener, but the Lady Vikings (1-1) did their part to keep things interesting throughout the ﬁrst half. SGHS never trailed and stormed out to early leads of 7-2, 13-4 and 16-8 before securing a 16-10 edge through eight minutes of play. Symmes Valley answered with the opening basket of the second frame to close to within four, but back-to-back baskets by Macie Sanders sparked a 7-2 run that gave the hosts a 23-14 cushion with 5:53 left in the half. SVHS, however, countered with a quick 8-0 charge over the next 75 seconds, with Desiree Simpson adding a layup at the 4:37 mark to make it a tightly-contested 1-point game. The Lady Rebels responded with a Jessie Rutt trifecta with 4:15 remaining, which ultimately sparked a 15-5 run to close out the half while giving SGHS a 38-27 lead headed into the intermission. South Gallia surrendered just eight points in the second half, which Bryan Walters|OVP Sports South Gallia junior Ryleigh Halley (23) converts a layup attempt over a Symmes Valley defender during the first half of Monday night’s girls basketball contest in Mercerville, Ohio. included scoreless spans for Symmes Valley of 4:03 and 3:56 to end each of the ﬁnal two stanzas. The Lady Rebels made a 19-5 third quarter run that extended the lead out to 57-32, then closed regulation with a 16-3 surge to complete the 38-point outcome — the largest lead of the night. SGHS made 27 total ﬁeld goals — including 11 trifectas — and also went 8-of-9 at the free throw line for 89 percent. Rutt led South Gallia with a game-high 22 points, which included four 3-pointers through the ﬁrst three periods of play. Sanders and Emma Clary were next with 14 points apiece, while Tori Triplett chipped in 13 markers. Madison Summers was next with six points and Ryleigh Halley completed the winning tally with four points. The Lady Vikings netted 13 total ﬁeld goals — including two 3-pointers — and went 7-of-11 at the charity stripe for 64 percent.

Russo AP College Football Writer The best college football rivalries can change over time depending on the state of the programs involved. Go back 25 or 30 years and Miami-Florida State probably would have been near the top of most lists. Nowadays, while still heated and entertaining, ‘Canes-’Noles just doesn’t capture the attention of the nation the way it did when at least one those two was at the top of the sport. Of course, some rivalries have just gone away altogether. For decades, Nebraska-Oklahoma was a lock to be one of the biggest games of the season. Texas-Texas A&M, too. Conference realignment has relegated those to the history books. The Associated Press asked 42 sports writers and broadcasters to rank the ﬁve best rivalries in college football, with points given on a sliding scale (ﬁve for a ﬁrst-place vote, four points for second, etc.). Four longstanding series separated themselves from the rest according to the results released Tuesday. The top two, as it happens, will be renewed this weekend, with high stakes on the line for three of the four teams involved. NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has ﬁlled the blanks for its previously scheduled Week 15 Saturday doubleheader by moving the Raiders at Browns and Patriots at Colts from Sunday. Las Vegas will be at Cleveland at 4:30 p.m. EST on Dec. 18, followed by New England at Indianapolis at 8:20 p.m. Both games will be televised by NFL Network. The three other games that potentially could have been moved will remain on Sunday, Dec. 19. They are the Jets at Miami, Washington at Philadelphia, and Carolina at Buffalo. NFL schedule makers frequently place games on Saturdays in mid-to-late December when college football’s regular season has concluded. On Christmas Day, also a Saturday, the league will have Cleveland at Green Bay, followed by Indianapolis at Arizona. During Week 13, the NFL is ﬂexing the Sunday night game for the ﬁrst time this season. Denver at Kansas City will replace San Francisco at Seattle in prime time. The 49ers-Seahawks match moves to 4:25 p.m. EST.

The state lost one of approved a new system Associated Press beginning this year that was supposed to ensure meaningful participation by both parties in a fairer, more transparent map-drawing process. The result would be maps that didn’t pack together, crack apart or otherwise manipulate voter blocs to “unduly” favor one party or its incumbents. Under Issue 1, a 2018 constitutional amendment approved by almost 75% of voters, the state Legislature could adopt a 10-year map with 60% of members in both the Ohio House and Ohio Senate, including 50% of Republicans and 50% of Democrats. If they failed, the sevenmember Ohio Redistricting Commission, created under a similar 2015 amendment aimed at reforming legislative districting, would get its chance. If that panel failed to pass a bipartisan map, legislators would get another chance. On the second go-round, support from only a third of each major party’s members was required for a 10-year plan. If all that failed, a 4-year map — the one Ohioans now ultimately have — could be passed by a simple majority, along party lines. on the same day on dueling Republican proposals, which expert map watchers determined were heavily skewed toward electing their own party. Democrats threw their own map proposals into the mix. Neither committee ever voted to recommend a ﬁnal map.

How fast did the final map move? The following Monday, at just past 8 p.m., Republican House Speaker Bob Cupp released a ﬁnal GOP-drawn map. As advocates, scholars and Democrats not involved in the process scrambled to understand the latest boundaries, a committee hearing in the Senate was hastily scheduled for the next morning. The panel met Tuesday, heard mostly angry testimony, then voted, sending the map to an immediate successful ﬂoor vote. Its House counterpart took up the map the next day, approving it. A House ﬂoor vote sealed the deal on Thursday. DeWine signed it into law about 30 hours later.

Republican Rebecca Kleeﬁsch, a former Wisconsin lieutenant governor who is running for governor in 2022, called the killings “yet another avoidable tragedy that occurred because a violent career criminal was allowed to walk free and terrorize our community.” And Republican state Rep. Cindi Duchow said she was reintroducing a constitutional amendment that would change the bail process in Wisconsin to allow judges to consider a defendant’s danger to the community when setting bail. Judges currently are only allowed to consider the possibility that defendants might not show up for a court appearance when setting bail.

It never had anything to do with race. It had to do with the right to self-defense,” the 18-yearold told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in an interview that aired Monday night. Rittenhouse is white, as were the men he shot. Rittenhouse was 17 last year when he traveled 20 miles from his home in Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, which had been racked with protests in the wake of the Aug. 23 shooting of Jacob Blake. That shooting and the response in Kenosha — protests that turned destructive — became part of the national reckoning over police use of force against Black people following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis the previous May at the hands of police. Rittenhouse, armed with an ARstyle semiautomatic riﬂe, joined others who said they were intent on protecting private property from potential damage on Aug. 25. During his trial, prosecutors argued that the teenager was a “wannabe soldier” who went looking for trouble that night. Octavio Jones | pool via AP Prosecutor Linda Dunikoski looks on during the trial of William “Roddie” Bryan, Travis McMichael and his father Gregory McMichael, all charged with the February 2020 death of 25-yearold Ahmaud Arbery on Tuesday at the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, Ga. Closing arguments concluded Tuesday, so the case is in the hands of the jury.

But Concert From page 1 Huang’s noteworthy arrangements are something exciting for the audience, there will also be a familiar face showing up as “Maestro for a Moment.” “Maestro for a Moment” is an annual fundraiser held by the Ariel Theatre giving some local familiar faces the chance to be a guest during the Christmas concert. The winning maestro is the one who collects the most votes through donations. This year Holzer Hospital’s Dr. Joshua Bryant; Rebecca Honett, Bladen Landing Restaurant Bed and Breakfast owner; and Pleasant Valley Hospital’s Tasha Wyant-Gaskins are competing for the opportunity to conduct the Ohio Valley Symphony’s performance of “Sleigh Ride!” The one who collects the most funds by the show’s intermission will conduct the performance. “People can donate to their favorite maestro right up to and through intermission of the concert,” Snow said. “The winner is announced at the end of the concert and they get to conduct, ‘Slight Ride!’” The Maestro Returning to the Ohio Valley, Huang has conducted not only orchestras, but operas all across the world. Huang is the founder and director of International conducting Masterclasses, Inc., which has trained conductors for two decades, according to the Ariel Theatre website. With experience in conducting orchestras all over the world, teaching and guest performances Huang is currently working on a book about conducting the website said. Huang ﬁrst performed with the Ohio Valley Symphony for the annual Christmas show in 2018. The Show The Christmas Show will be Saturday, Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Wedge Auditorium at Point Pleasant Junior/ Senior High School. As always, Snow said the Ohio Valley Symphony is hosting open rehearsals on Fridays from 7-10 p.m. and from 1-4 p.m. on the Saturday of the concert. “We make it a special point of having open rehearsals,” Snow said. “So Saturday afternoon dress rehearsal from one to four is a great time to bring young children, because children can always appreciate music, it’s always just a matter of how long can they sit still. Or if they get antsy.” Snow said not only does this allow parents to bring their children for part of the show, but it is also the chance for those with conﬂicting schedules or those who may not want to drive late at night. Having the open rehearsal policy is something Snow always wanted. She said eventually kids might sit through an entire concert, but until then they should still have the opportunity to enjoy the music. Tickets for The Christmas Show can be purchased on the Ariel Theatre website. The Ariel Theatre is currently under construction for a new HVAC system, moving the concert to the Wedge Auditorium. Snow said all musicians are fully vaccinated. The audience is expected to wear masks and practice social distancing. Tickets can be purchased at the auditorium for general admission cost. Those who wish to “vote” for the “Maestro for a Moment” can do so through the Ariel Theatre’s website or via check. Checks can be mailed to OVS PO Box 424, Gallipolis, OH 45631 or online voting at arieloperahouse.org. Brittany Hively is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

Daily Sentinel Holidays From page 1 the father-and-son team of Rusty and Beau Estes of Peak Farms in Jefferson, North Carolina — a three-time winner of the National Christmas Tree Association’s annual contest. The winner gets to present its ofﬁcial tree to the White House. Son Hunter Biden, his wife, Melissa, and their toddler, Beau, were among a sizable group of White House aides, guests and others who braved crisp winds to watch the brief ceremony marking the start of the administration’s ﬁrst Christmas in the White House. The Fraser ﬁr will be decorated in the coming days and displayed in the Blue Room, a tradition that dates back to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, after a chandelier is removed so it can be tethered to the ceiling for safety. White House grounds superintendent Dale Haney went to the farm in October to pick out a tree. Peak Farms Susan Walsh | AP First lady Jill Biden waves to people watching as she looks over the official White House Christmas Tree, grown in North Carolina, as it arrives at the White House in Washington onMonday. and I’m so damn proud to be associated with you.” After a quick prayer from the chaplain, the Bidens walked behind the serving tables, donned gloves and aprons and started dishing out the meal to waiting troops. Jill Biden scooped mashed potatoes, the president the stufﬁng. The troops were handed chocolate chip cookies with the presidential seal, and the long table was full of food including chocolate cakes. On Tuesday, the Bidens plan to participate in a to-be-announced local service project before resuming their family tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving on the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Biden put tradition on hold last fall over COVID-19 concerns and hunkered down over Thanksgiving dinner in Delaware with just his wife, their daughter and their son-in-law. “Last Thanksgiving, for the ﬁrst time, it was just the four of us,” Biden said earlier this month as he commented on the nation’s progress against the coronavirus. also supplied the ofﬁcial White House tree in 2008 and 2012. The White House Christmas decorations will be revealed on the Monday after Thanksgiving, the ﬁrst lady said. Jill Biden was joined by a D.C. Army National Guard family to honor the National Guard’s role in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, her ofﬁce said. She has been using her new role to help highlight and rally support for military families from across the country through an initiative named Joining Forces. At Fort Bragg, the meal was held in a large hanger replete with pumpkin and pine cone centerpieces for about 250 servicemembers and families. Jill Biden spoke ﬁrst, stepping out from behind a table to walk the room, talking to families about their late son, Beau, who served in the Delaware National Guard, and how she understood how hard it was to be away during holidays. She talked about how proud she was of the troops before introducing the president, who echoed her praise. “You do so much, your families do so much,” President Biden said. “You’re the ﬁnest military the world has ever seen … modiﬁed to ensure the safety of students and faculty.

After the success of the inaugural band, Macy’s has continued the tradition. This year’s band is expected to include 185 musicians and approximately 40 ﬂags and dancers. With only a few days of practice together before their performance, Dennis Rhoads, president, Music Festivals and Tours, said this group is able to come together quickly because of an excellent group of music educators directing them, and they come prepared. He said the attitude, enthusiasm, and work ethic of the musicians make rehearsals run quickly and efﬁciently. “The kids are so excited to be here,” Rhoads said. “All of them were individually selected, and are the best musicians from schools and states across the country. They come prepared, ready to begin when they arrive.” Richardson said she was so happy to be included as an alumna, to have another opportunity to participate in something so important to her that she missed last year. “After everything that has happened, I am very excited to ﬁnally feel normal again,” she said. “I am very happy to be going to New York, to be in the parade, it doesn’t seem real.” To watch Richardson and the Macy’s All American Band perform in Herald Square during the 95th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, tune into NBC, the ofﬁcial parade channel. Other stations carry the parade, but only NBC covers the performance in Herald Square.

The NDRC’s suit targets DeWine and the other members of the Ohio Redistricting Commission, rather than state lawmakers who ultimately okayed the map.
