From U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D - Ohio) “Russia’s unprovoked assault on Ukraine is an affront to freedom and democracy the world over. This attack will be met with united, decisive action by the United States and our allies. Vladimir Putin chose war, he is unleashing senseless death and destruction on the Ukrainian people, and he will face the consequences. President Biden has made it clear the U.S. and our allies and partners will impose the strongest sanctions Russia has ever seen, and I will work with the Biden Administration to implement them against Russian ofﬁcials and oligarchs who prop up Putin’s regime. Now is not the moment for partisan division – Americans stand united with all our NATO allies, and we pray for the people of Ukraine.” From U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R - Ohio) “The events of the past 24 hours are tragic for the people of Ukraine and the democratic world order that has kept the peace in Europe for more than 80 years. Russia’s actions are an illegal, unjustiﬁable assault on Ukraine. This unwarranted brutality will kill thousands of innocent people and create a massive humanitarian crisis. President Putin’s justiﬁcation for this attack, to “de-Nazify” Ukraine, along with his comments about the illegitimacy of the sovereign nations of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, is cause for further alarm. “The United States should lead the international community to hold Russia accountable for this tragedy. “I have been clear that I supported preinvasion sanctions. I believed they were warranted and would have been appropriate for the malign actions Russia committed prior to the current invasion. “I now call on the Biden administration to lead the world in the strongest sanctions possible, to include sanctions on Russian banks, key oligarchs and President Putin and his associates. We must also impose strong export controls to signiﬁcantly limit Russia’s access to technology, including semiconductors, which are vital to both Russia’s economy and their military. “I am encouraged that the United States is beginning to work with not just with our European allies, but also our friends in South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, and Singapore on a coordinated export control response. Combined, these countries account for over 70% of the world semiconductor production.

On a day where twos were being celebrated, the Hannan boys basketball team knocked down 10 of the game’s 19 trifectas on Tuesday night and rolled to a 65-46 victory over visiting Ohio Valley Christian in a non-conference matchup in Mason County. Both the Defenders and Wildcats nailed ﬁve 3-pointers apiece in the ﬁrst half as HHS established a 28-23 halftime advantage, but the hosts responded with a 37-23 surge after the break to pull away and claim the 19-point triumph. Hannan also claimed a season sweep after posting a 56-42 win over OVCS in Gallipolis back on Feb. 14. Bradley Haley kept the guests within striking distance after hitting two trifectas in the ﬁrst quarter, but the guests still trailed 12-11 after eight minutes of play. Justin Rainey made two 3-pointers for as part of a 16-12 second period push that extended the Wildcat lead out to ﬁve points entering the break. Brady Edmunds poured in seven points as Hannan made a 17-13 run in the third frame for a 45-36 edge headed into the ﬁnale. Despite going only 3-of-9 at the foul line, HHS closed regulation with a 20-10 charge to secure the victory with its largest lead of the night. The Wildcats made 25 total ﬁeld goals — including 10 3-pointers — and also went 5-of-15 at the free throw line for 33 percent. Edmunds paced Hannan with 14 points, followed by Justin Rainey with 13 points and Dakota Watkins with 12 markers. Logan Barker was next with eight points and Philip Fugett chipped in seven points, while Cameron Wright added ﬁve points. Xavier Stone and JW Adkins completed the winning tally with four and two points, respectively. The Defenders made 15 total ﬁeld goals — including nine trifectas — and sank 7-of-15 charity tosses for 47 percent. Austin Beaver led OVCS with a game-high 17 points, followed by Haley and Cash Burnett with 10 markers each. Michael Staufer added eight points, while Garrett Johnson completed the scoring with one point.

COVID toll more than physical for hard-hit hoops teams AP Source: Russia to no longer host Champions League final By Eric Olson By Rob Harris AP Sports Writer Charmin Smith and her players ﬁgured they had gone through the worst of the pandemic in 2020-21. COVID-19 precautions had forced the Cal’s women’s team to hold the ﬁrst month of practices outdoors on a tennis court with portable baskets. Each player was required to have her own ball and was not allowed to pass it. Nine games were postponed because of COVID outbreaks, on their team or the opponent, and they fell ﬁve games short of playing the regularly scheduled 18 Pac-12 games. They ﬁnished 1-16 overall. “We were really hopeful things would be back to quote-unquote normal and we would be able to experience a season without disruption and get people back healthy,” Smith said. “It hasn’t been the case.” It hasn’t been the case for a lot of teams.

There’s frustration for players coming out of a COVID layoff because they’ve lost their conditioning. There’s added stress academically when rescheduled games come in rapid succession and there’s more missed class time. Coaches said they made themselves available to talk with players who were struggling with the disruptions, and players formed stronger bonds while leaning on each other. “If you said there were no emotions to this, I would say it’s really an emotional drain, as it would be for any human being,” Illinois coach Nancy Fahey said. Cal played its ﬁrst 12 games as scheduled and won nine. Then came the ﬁrst of three COVID pauses, two caused by positive tests among Cal personnel. The Bears (12-10, 2-8 Pac-12) played just two games in January, had to cancel several practices and were short-handed for others. They’ve played seven straight games since coming out of their latest pause but will end up having played only 11 of its 18 Pac-12 games. The record will show 12 conference games, but one was a forfeit win. “It’s late February, and if we had those extra games in January, we’d be a different team,” Smith said. “But I’m also proud of how we have pulled it together. We haven’t completely fallen apart and are making some progress.” Illinois (6-17, 1-11 Big Ten) played only ﬁve games in 45 days over one stretch, had players coming and going from COVID isolation and couldn’t hold quality practices during the most important time of the season. $10.00 monthly EZ pay $58.00 6 months Nitro $105.00 From page 7 1 year Leading the Lady — With GALLIPOLIS on the the clock ticking election 2022 primary those ﬁling deadline, potential canconsidering out didacy are runningcertiﬁof time to submit cates of announcement. for The ﬁling deadline Gallia Councandidacy in Feb. 2 at ty is Wednesday, 4 p.m. of Filing certiﬁcate counfor announcements3:45 p.m. of ty ofﬁces as 31, accordMonday, Jan.

Payments of up the payments became to $300 per child were delivered directly to bank core to household ﬁnancial stability for millions accounts on the 15th Associated Press of families after only six months. “It really had a huge impact right off the bat,” Curran said. “We saw food insecurity drop almost immediately as soon as the payments started … all of that progress that we made could now be lost.” Curran said the increase in children living in poverty could also partially reﬂect rising prices. The new numbers represent a serious setback from the original goals of the child tax credit program, which ambitiously sought to cut nationwide child poverty in half. As part of Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 rescue package last year, the existing child tax credit program was massively reshaped, boosting the amount of the payments, greatly expanding the pool of eligible families and delivering the money in monthly installments designed to be incor- porated into day-to-day household budgets. The program extended payments of $250-permonth for children ages 6 through 17 and $300-permonth for those under 6 to most families in the country, at an annual cost of about $120 billion. The goal was to put discretionary cash in the hands of parents along with the freedom to spend it as they saw ﬁt month-tomonth. Republican lawmakers are generally uniﬁed in opposition to the expanded tax credit — describing it as excessive, inﬂationary and a disincentive to work. But when it was originally passed, many Democrats openly declared their intention to make the payments a permanent anchor of the American social safety net. The goal for the Democratic-held Congress was to keep the program running, and ﬁght about its future months from now, armed with data and millions of anecdotes about the tax credit’s beneﬁts. Instead the 50-member Democratic bloc in the Senate collapsed from within, with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin holding out on his vote for weeks before ﬁnally refusing to endorse Biden’s social spending package. Manchin cited his opposition to the child tax credit’s massive price tag among his reservations with the bill. Earlier this month, Manchin called negotiations on Biden’s Build Back Better bill “ dead.” Democratic New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich, one of the expanded child tax credit’s strongest advocates, said Wednesday in a statement to The Associated Press that nearly all the children in his state beneﬁted from the credit and that letting it expire was “a moral failure.” An informal survey conducted of families by the nonproﬁt advocacy group ParentsTogether Action found a similarly immediate impact to the lapsed child tax credit payments for respondents, with roughly 1 in 5 families surveyed reporting they could no longer afford housing or enough food for their kids. Allison Johnson, the organization’s campaign director, said the child tax credit payments were designed so parents would “not have to make these really hard choices,” she said. The end to the deposits makes it nearly impossible for needy families, who may be struggling to pay down debt or cope with major expenses, to develop ﬁnancial stability or momentum, Johnson said. “This lack of clarity is super difﬁcult for people. It makes them unable to plan for things,” she said.

A senior American intelligence ofﬁcial said the U.S. believes Russian forces at Chernobyl were aiming to push to Kyiv, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of the plant, to try to link with other Russian forces throughout Ukraine. The ofﬁcials were not authorized to be publicly named discussing the sensitive matter. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a 2,600-square-kilometer (1,000-square-mile) zone of forest surrounding the shuttered plant, lies between the BelarusUkraine border and the Ukrainian capital. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian ofﬁcers fought to defend it, “so that the tragedy of 1986 will not be repeated.” He called it a “declaration of war against the whole of Europe.” Adviser Podolyak said (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN that after an “absolutely senseless attack ... it is impossible to say that the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is safe.” He warned that Russian authorities could blame Ukraine for damage to the site or stage provocations from there. Ukrainian Interior Ministry adviser Anton Herashenko warned that any attack on the waste repository could send radioactive dust over “the territory of Ukraine, Belarus and countries of the EU.” Russian ofﬁcials, who have revealed little of their operations in Ukraine and not revealed their goals, did not publicly comment on the battle. The International Atomic Energy Agency said it is following the situation in Ukraine “with grave concern” and appealed for maximum restraint to avoid any action that may put Ukraine’s nuclear facilities at risk.

World leaders slap sanctions on the Kremlin By Raf Casert and Sam Petrequin Associated Press BRUSSELS — World leaders Thursday condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as “barbaric” and quickly slapped heavy sanctions on the Russian economy, President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle and many of the country’s oligarchs. “Putin chose this war, and now he and his country will bear the consequences,” U.S. President Joe Biden declared. In near-unison, the United States, the 27-nation European Union and other Western allies announced a round of punitive measures against Russian banks COVID and leading companies and imposed export controls aimed at starving the country’s industries and military of semiconductors and other high-tech products. From the U.S. to Western Europe and Japan, South Korea and Australia, nations lined up to denounce the Kremlin as the outbreak of ﬁghting raised fears about the shape of Europe to come. The invasion initially sent stocks slumping and oil prices surging on fears of higher costs for food and fuel. The West and its allies showed no inclination to send troops into Ukraine — a non-member of NATO — and risk a wider war on the continent. But NATO reinforced its member states in Eastern Europe as a precaution against an attack on them, too. “Make no mistake: We will defend every ally against any attack on every inch of NATO territory,” said NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg. In the meantime, countries began taking steps to isolate Moscow in hopes of forcing it to pay so high a price that it changes course. Biden, for now, held off imposing some of the most severe sanctions, including cutting Russia out of the SWIFT payment system, which allows for the transfers of money from bank to bank around the globe. Ukraine’s president called for Russia to be cast out of SWIFT, but the U.S. has expressed concern about the potential damage to European economies. cal loss or damage to property,” attorney Nick DiCello said during oral arguments on Feb. 8. But lawyers for Cincinnati Insurance say the policy covers only accidental physical loss to Neuro-Communication’s property, not ﬁnancial setbacks caused by closing because of the coronavirus. The ﬂu, though less serious, arrives every year, but property isn’t replaced or repaired in reaction, Daniel Litchﬁeld, an attorney representing the insurance company, said during oral arguments. Similarly, the coronavirus hurts people but doesn’t alter buildings, he said. “It would be absurd, for instance, to determine that as a matter of law a building suffered direct physical loss or damage because a virus is generally present in the community, just as the ﬂu is generally present in the community during a season, every year,” Litchﬁeld said. More than 250 courts nationally have considered and rejected similar insurance claims for COVID-19 damages, according to the American Property Casualty Insurance Association, which says allowing coronavirus claims could be ﬁnancially ruinous to the insurance industry. But focusing on physical damage ignores the “unprecedented losses” suffered by the restaurant industry that go beyond physical damage, according to the Restaurant Law Center, which urged the court to side with NeuroCommunication Services. On Wednesday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected equivalent arguments by seven Michigan restaurant companies that also sought compensation from Cincinnati Insurance. The businesses contended their losses were similar to those compensated after shutdown orders during unrest in Detroit in 1967 and 1968. But a three-judge panel disagreed, saying those orders eliminated all access to businesses, whereas the state’s 2020 order encouraged restaurants to remain operational for pick-up and delivery. In its ruling, the appeals court upheld a lower court’s ﬁnding that “the mere presence of the virus on the physical structure of the premises does not amount to direct physical loss.” In the Ohio Supreme Court case, justices seemed skeptical of the audiology company’s arguments. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor noted that if the podium DiCello stood before in the courtroom was contaminated with the COVID-19 virus, a swipe of a bleach wipe would ﬁx it. DiCello argued the podium could be re-contaminated. “The question is when does the period of restoration end for this podium?” he said. “You wipe it off, it still exists,” Justice Sharon Kennedy said. “It’s unmarred, it’s unharmed, I’m struggling with how you deﬁne that as property damage?” For the period their property was unavailable, Neuro-Communication was “deprived of the effective use of it,” DiCello said.

From U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson (R-Marietta) “We’ve seen nothing like this in Europe since WWII. And there is only one person responsible for the tragedy unfolding in Eastern Europe: Vladimir Putin. Thinking about the unnecessary loss of life and suffering that will occur in Ukraine is very somber. “I call on President Biden and his team, working with our allies across the globe, to impose immediate, tougher – as harsh as possible - sanctions and export controls to create more of an effective deterrent on Putin’s tyranny.

The company was closed from March 23, 2020, until May 4, 2020, when Ohio Gov.

Those losses should be covered by the “all-risk” policy the company purchased from Cincinnati Insurance, company attorneys argued in an August court ﬁling.
