A special meeting was called for Dec. 28, to appoint the auditor position due to the passing of Gallia County Auditor Larry Betz, but members voted, 15-6, to postpone the delegation until a special meeting on Jan. 18 held at the Gallia County Courthouse. The unexpired term will end March 12, 2023 with the new term beginning the next day. After a lengthy meeting and speeches from three nominees — Robbie Jacks, Tom White and Terri Short — Jacks received 16 votes, White received two, Short received one and two members abstained. Jacks was then sworn in by Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney Jason Holdren. Jacks is currently the director of the Meigs County EMS and 9-1-1 center. “My commissioners are allowing me to take a leave from there so I can concentrate on the duties of this,” Jacks said. Jacks said the leave of absence began Jan. 19 and the end will depend on the election results. He said he will be focused on the auditor’s ofﬁce full-time and in terms of the Meigs County EMS and 9-1-1, he will only be involved if there is something that cannot be handled and staff need to call for assistance. He said his goal as auditor is to face some of the challenges in the ofﬁce khawthorne@aimmediamidwest. com Photos by Brittany Hively | OVP Robbie Jacks, pictured at left, being sworn in by Gallia County Prosecuting Attorney Jason Holdren on Tuesday after being appointed as Gallia County Auditor. Jacks’ wife Terri is also pictured, holding the bible. that have been brought to his attention, including the Board of Revisions, which was mentioned during the meeting. Jacks said he hopes to continue working with both White and Short who both currently work in the auditor’s ofﬁce. “I’m just excited to serve your county,” Jacks said to Ohio Valley Publishing (OVP). “I’m passionate about what goes on in this county. I’ve been very involved for a very long time and my heart is to take the county auditor’s ofﬁce to the highest level that we can. I want to make the auditor’s ofﬁce accessible and transparent to the citizens we serve.” While Jacks has not worked in an auditor’s ofﬁce before, he said many of his duties as the EMS and 9-1-1 director overlap those of the auditor. Jacks began work Wednesday and told OVP that the auditor’s ofﬁce staff have been helpful in helping him get on board with Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden acknowledged Wednesday that the pandemic has left Americans exhausted and demoralized but insisted at a news conference marking his ﬁrst year in ofﬁce that he has “outperformed” expectations. He said he would likely have to settle for “big chunks” of his signature economic package to break an impasse in Congress. He said he believes important parts will be passed before the 2022 midterm elections and voters will back Democrats if they are fully informed — an assignment he said he will pursue by traveling the country. The president began the news conference by reeling off early successes on coronavirus relief and a bipartisan infrastructure deal.

Despite his falling approval numbers, Biden claimed to have “probably outperformed what anybody thought would happen” in a country still coping with the coronavirus. “After almost two years of physical, emotional and psychological impact of this pandemic, for many of us, it’s been too much to bear,” Biden said. “Some people may call what’s happening now ‘the new normal.’ I call it a job not yet ﬁnished. It will get better.” Still, it is a perilous time for Biden: The nation is gripped by another disruptive surge of See BIDEN | 8 Southern BOE approves agenda items Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — Since yesterday’s update, there were 138 new COVID-19 cases, reported in the Ohio Valley Publishing area on Wednesday.

The spending stems largely from President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure deal, and the administration is trying to show how the projects will improve supply chain backlogs. There are three speciﬁc projects tied to reducing supply bottlenecks by making it easier to transport goods, according to a White House fact sheet. U.S. ports have struggled to manage the inﬂow of container ships and move containers onto trucks as the economy recovered from the pandemic, resulting in delays in sending goods to consumers and higher prices.

We strongly recommend that both girls and boys be vaccinated against HPV at age 12. We can make cervical cancer much less common in just one generation! Will I need to get a pap smear for the rest of my life? Pap smears typically continue throughout a woman’s life, until she reaches the age of 65, unless she has had a hysterectomy. If so, she no longer needs Pap smears (unless it is done to test for cervical or endometrial cancer). At that point, if a patient has had two normal Pap smears in the past 10 years and she has not had any precancerous cells in the past 20 years, she can stop screening altogether. Sam Badran, MD, FACOG follows these standards, as recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Pleasant Valley Hospital Women’s Services ensures that our patients are undergoing all of the tests they should have, but we also want to make sure patients are not undergoing tests that aren’t necessary. We educate our patients and encourage them to ask us questions, so that they are clear on what tests they should have done, at what age, and why. This piece submitted by Pleasant Valley Hospital.

The FAA has said it will allow planes with accurate, reliable altimeters to operate around high-power 5G. But planes with other altimeters will not be allowed to make landings under low-visibility conditions. Among the problems that may make the 5G rollout an issue in the U.S. and not other countries, according to the FAA, are that American towers use a more powerful signal strength than those elsewhere, the network operates on a frequency closer to the one altimeters use, and tower antennae point up at a higher angle. 32° 15° Adelphi 23/10 Waverly 24/11 SUNDAY 28° 16° Shown is today’s weather.

Rudolph, Haskins eager to make bid for open Steelers’ QB job By Will Graves AP Sports Writer PITTSBURGH — Mason Rudolph understands the baggage he carries. Dwayne Haskins too. The next seven months give the two Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks a chance to shed the weight. For the ﬁrst time in nearly a generation, the starting gig in the city they play for is up for grabs after Ben Roethlisberger all but conﬁrmed he is retiring after 18 seasons. And the two players who will get ﬁrst crack at replacing the likely future Hall of Famer — one (Haskins) a 2019 ﬁrst-round pick trying to recover from an embarrassing ﬂameout, the other’s (Rudolph) pro career to this point deﬁned by a brawl that ended with him getting hit in the head with his own helmet — understand the stakes. “There’s still question marks on my game,” Rudolph said Wednesday. “I want to serve this role and I want to prove myself to my teammates, the guys that I really care about.” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin stressed in the aftermath of a ﬁrst-round blowout loss to Kansas City that ﬁnished off a wildly uneven 9-7-1 season that “all options” are on the table as the Steelers try to create a path forward without the player that spent nearly two decades as the face of one of the NFL’s most consistent franchises. Maybe, but Rudolph and Haskins will be given every opportunity to prove they can handle being a full-time starter. Rudolph’s resume so far is spotty. He’s 5-4-1 while ﬁlling in for Roethlisberger over the past three seasons and his lone extended appearance this season came in a brutal 16-all tie with then-winless Detroit in which he threw for 242 yards with a touchdown and an interception while struggling with his accuracy. At least he saw the ﬁeld. Haskins didn’t take a snap during the regular season and spent game days on the sideline in a sweatshirt after being made inactive. The 24-year-old insists it was an experience he needed after his brief but tumultuous time in Washington, which cut him in December 2020 less than two years after taking him with the 15th overall pick. “Having to play early (in Washington) I never had a chance to learn the NFL game the way it should be done and the way the Steelers wanted done,” Haskins said. “It gave me an opportunity to understand the ‘Steelers Way’ and how they wanted their quarterbacks to operate.” Even if the way Tomlin will ask his quarterbacks to operate going forward will be different than See STEELERS | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Jan. 20 Boys Basketball Point Pleasant at Ripley, 7 p.m. Girls Basketball South Gallia at Eastern, 6:30 Meigs at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Gallia Academy at Fairland, 6 p.m. Southern at Federal Hocking, 7 p.m. Wahama at Parkersburg Catholic, 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21 Boys Basketball Parkersburg Catholic at Wahama, 6 p.m. River Valley at Meigs, 7 p.m. Waterford at Eastern, 7 p.m. Buffalo at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Gallia Academy at South Point, 7 p.m. Southern at Federal Hocking, 7 p.m. OVCS at Calvary Christian, 7:30 Girls Basketball OVCS at Calvary Christian, 6 p.m. Photos by Colton Jeffries|OVP Sports South Gallia senior Jessie Rutt (11) takes the ball to the basket against the Lady Raiders in a basketball game against River Valley Tuesday evening in Mercerville, Ohio.

Pittsburgh’s offense during his ﬁnal seasons was predicated on short, quick throws designed to get the ball out of Roethlisberger’s hands in an effort to protect him behind a shaky offensive line. The game has changed since Roethlisberger took over for an injured Tommy Maddox in Week 2 of the 2004 season. The Steelers play in a division that features one quarterback who can make magic with his feet (Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson) and another who can escape pressure when things break down (Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow). Whoever is behind center for Pittsburgh in 2022 will need to be able to move. Maybe not with the quickness of Jackson, (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN play from Cincinnati’s win over the Raiders showed Burrow’s keen ability to see the ﬁeld and calculate risk vs. reward in the blink of an eye. Late in the ﬁrst half, the Bengals had a thirdand-4 from the Raiders 10. Burrow took a shotgun snap, stepped forward as the pocket collapsed and then scrambled right with defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson on his tail. With no receivers open, he might have run out of bounds or thrown it away so Evan McPherson could come on for a chip-shot ﬁeld goal. But at the 11-yard line, Burrow pushed off with his right foot into the air and released the but a facsimile of what Burrow does would go a long way to diversifying a playbook that looked awfully stale at times. Whether the issue was the game plan or the personnel that had the Steelers drop into the bottom half of the league in nearly every major category this season is up for debate. Canada’s job, at least at the moment, appears safe after Tomlin appeared to offer a tacit if tepid endorsement for ball a split-second before his momentum carried him out of bounds. Tyler Boyd made the catch at the back of the end zone. The Raiders argued that the ofﬁcial on the sideline thought Burrow went out of bounds and blew the play dead. After a replay, the touchdown was allowed to stand, and the Bengals were up by two scores. In Joe we trust. “Plays like that, you can’t explain,” Taylor said. “It’s making a play when there’s no play to be made.” Tennessee coach Mike Vrabel can see for himself. “(He) just has a really good feel for making all of the throws,” Vrabel giving him another shot at calling the plays. Neither Haskins nor Rudolph will be confused with Jackson. Yet they also have more life in their legs than the 39-year-old Roethlisberger, a valuable commodity considering the 2022 starting quarterback will be playing behind a line that could look an awful lot like the one that had issues protecting Roethlisberger this season.

He takes care of the football. They do a lot with him. He is operating from the line of scrimmage sometimes and getting them into the right call.” Burrow won the 2019 Heisman Trophy and national championship at LSU. He ﬂashed potential in 2020 before tearing up his left knee in the 10th game of Cincinnati’s dismal 4-11-1 season. He had surgery and spent the spring and summer rehabbing. He still wasn’t back to 100 percent as the season began. But as his knee got better, Burrow got better. He shattered franchise records and re-established chemistry with former LSU team- Rebels From page 6 total of 42 boards and were led by Emma Clary with nine.

The Lady Rebels played Symmes Valley on Wednesday and will be back on the court at mate Ja’Marr Chase, the Bengals’ ﬁrst-round pick in 2021 who also broke team receiving records on the way to becoming a contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year. “He’s playing tremendous football,” Chase said. “I don’t think he’s playing any different from when he was playing in 2019 (at LSU). He’s just getting smarter as he goes on.” And staying cool. “I think the fans were excited, but I try to downplay it and all that because this is how it’s going to be from here on out,” Burrow said Tuesday. “It’s a great win for us, but this is the standard, the bare minimum every year going forward.” 7 p.m. Thursday when they hit the road to take on the Eastern Lady Eagles in a TVC Hocking Division contest.

A motion was made to go into executive session — including the central and executive committees and Holdren — to discuss the process of the night, the central committee was in favor of the motion. Opening the meeting back up to the public, Committee Chairman Mike Daines, spoke on the meeting being an open meeting, conducting public business and falling under Ohio Sunshine laws. Daines said the organization wanted to be as transparent as possible and offered a printout of the procedure for the evening to central committee members. “I’ll get ready to read, so everyone in here will understand the process [that] we’re going to do this in and how we will determine who is going to be getting the appointment,” Daines said. The process was explained as follows: a nomination needs to be made and seconded by a central committee member; a motion needs to be made to close nominations; if more than one person is nominated each nominee will be granted up to ﬁve minutes to address the ﬂoor — order randomly determined; there will then be an extra ﬁve minutes given for central and executive members to ask any clarifying questions — not to be a debate; a motion will then need to be made for a roll call vote with the number present and the number needed for a majority to be veriﬁed. “Before the roll call vote, the chair will verify with the secretary the number of members present and determine the number of votes necessary for a person nominated to receive the majority vote,” Daines said. “Earlier we said there was 21 here, but it’s how many votes. If a member chooses not to vote, then that changes the odds. Just want to clarify that.” The secretary was then to do a roll call with each member stating their vote; the secretary was then to tally the votes to determine the winner and present it to the chairman and the winner would be sworn in by Holdren. Daines said in the case of a tie, the bylaws say a coin toss would commence. As the ﬂoor opened to nominations, as noted previously in this story, three people were nominated — Jacks, White and Short — and the ﬂoor was closed to nominations with all present in favor. Numbers were drawn to choose the speaking order for the nominees. Following remarks by nominees, there were no questions asked during the open ﬂoor. As previously reported in this story, Jacks won the majority with 16 votes. As of 11:45 p.m. on Jan. 19, Robbie Jacks, Kevin Nicholas and Terri Short have ﬁled petitions of candidacy for Gallia County Auditor, according to Chris Burnett, director Gallia County Board of Elections. © 2022, Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Democrats are bracing for a potential midterm resources; and Phyllis Flowers, purchasing agent. Mason Fire Chief Howard Wood said the donation will be used to purchase three sets of ﬁreﬁghter gear from head to toe, including helmets, jackets, pants, and boots. He added the new gear will replace outdated apparel. Also on hand to accept the funds at Mason were Austin Ohlinger, ﬁre department vicepresident and lieutenant, and Joe Day, president and captain. According to New Haven Fire Chief Stephen Duncan, funds there will be used to purchase gas detectors and a ventilation saw, which can be used to cut open the roofs of burning buildings, as well as other uses. He was joined at the presentation by fellow ﬁremen Kendall Roush; Robert Marchal; Bill James, president; and Scott Riggs, captain. Also attending was New Haven Mayor Phil Serevicz. Last month, the plant provided ﬁnancial assistance to Bend Area C.A.R.E. and the Mason County Homeless Shelter to help families at Christmastime. Felman Production is a metallurgy manufacturing company under the leadership of Motti Korf and Uri Laber. In a press release issued by the company, Anosov said, “We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and bravery of our volunteer ﬁreﬁghters. It is our honor to provide them with ﬁnancial support and well-deserved recognition.” Korf and Laber issued a joint statement adding, “Felman Production is proud to support these brave ﬁrst responders who put their lives on the line when our community is in need. We want to ensure our volunteer ﬁreﬁghters have the tools and equipment they need when they answer the call to help our community through times of crisis.” © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

As a candidate, he promised to restore normalcy to a pandemic-riven nation, but overcrowded hospitals, shortages at grocery stores and ﬁerce divisions over vaccine mandates and face mask requirements abound. On the Senate ﬂoor, meanwhile, Democrats are on track to lose a vote to change the chamber’s rules in order to pass voting reform legislation due to the opposition of Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia. That will underscore the constraints on Biden’s inﬂuence barely a week after he delivered an impassioned speech in Atlanta comparing opponents of the measures to segregationists and exhorting senators to action.
