J&amp;J’s Janssen settles
with WVa for $99M
in opioid lawsuit
By Leah Willingham
Associated Press

CHARLESTON,
W.Va. — West Virginia
will receive $99 million
in a settlement ﬁnalized
Monday with Johnson
&amp; Johnson’s subsidiary
Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. over the drugmaker’s role in perpetuating the opioid crisis in
the state that has long
led the nation in drug
overdose deaths.
State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said
during a news brieﬁng
that he believes West
Virginia’s settlement
is the largest in the
country per capita with
Johnson &amp; Johnson’s
Janssen, which has
faced opioid litigation in
dozens of communities
throughout the U.S.
The attorney general
said the ﬁgure is reﬂective of the severity of
the opioid crisis in West
Virginia.
“We think it represents a major step
forward to start to get
money in the door to
help West Virginians
who have been devastated by the opioid epidemic,” Morrisey said
from his state Capitol
ofﬁce.
The settlement was
announced at the start
of the third week of
testimony in the state’s
case against Janssen,
Teva Pharmaceuticals
Inc., AbbVie Inc.’s
Allergan and their family of companies. The
companies are accused
of downplaying or failing to mention the risks
of addiction associated
with opioid use in West
Virginia while overstating the prescription

drugs’ beneﬁts.
In a statement Monday, a spokesperson
for Johnson &amp; Johnson
and Janssen said the
settlement is not an
“admission of liability
or wrongdoing” by the
company.
“The company’s
actions relating to the
marketing and promotion of important opioid
prescription medications were appropriate
and responsible,” a
news release read. The
company no longer
sells prescription opioid
medications in the U.S.,
according to the release.
Morrisey said West
Virginia’s cities and
counties could start
seeing the settlement
money within 45 days.
The money will be used
to help communities
combat the opioid crisis. Meanwhile, he said
the trial against Teva
and Allergan is continuing as scheduled.
“We will have no
delay in our pursuit of
accountability against
Teva and Allergan and
we’ll be back in court
now,” he said.
Filed in 2019, the
state’s lawsuits accuse
the companies of creating a public nuisance
and violating the state’s
Consumer Credit and
Protection Act.
Attorneys for the
companies said during
opening statements
earlier this month that
their individual products in question had
considerably less than
1% of the market share
in West Virginia, were

Judge voids travel mask mandate

Travelers walk through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on April 1 in Seattle. On Monday, a federal judge in Florida voided the
national mask mandate covering airplanes and other public transportation saying it exceeded the authority of U.S. health officials.

Florida judge rules mandate exceeded authority of US health officials
By Curt Anderson
Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG,
Fla. — A federal judge
in Florida has voided the
national mask mandate
covering airplanes and
other public transportation as exceeding the
authority of U.S. health
ofﬁcials in the coronavirus pandemic.

The decision Monday
by U.S. District Judge
Kathryn Kimball Mizelle
in Tampa, an appointee of
former President Donald
Trump, also said the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention improperly failed to justify its
decision and did not follow proper rulemaking.
In her 59-page ruling,
Mizelle said the only

remedy was to vacate the
rule entirely across the
country because it would
be impossible to end it
for the limited group of
people who objected in
the lawsuit.
The judge said “a
limited remedy would
be no remedy at all” and
that the courts have full
authority to make a decision such as this — even

if the goals of the CDC
in ﬁghting the virus are
laudable.
“Because our system
does not permit agencies
to act unlawfully even in
pursuit of desirable ends,
the court declares unlawful and vacates the mask
mandate,” she wrote.

Middleport Council discusses projects
MIDDLEPORT —
Middleport Village Council met in regular session
last week at village hall.
Present during the
meeting were council
members Shawn Arnott,
Brian Conde, Larry Byer,
Matt Lyons, Susan Page
and Ben Reed. Also present were Fiscal Ofﬁcer
Susan Baker, Building
Inspector Mike Hendrickson, Supervisor Joe Powell, Chief Water Operator
Andy Blank, Police Chief
Mony Wood and Village Attorney Richard
Hedges.
The following items
were unanimously
approved: minutes of
the March 28 meeting,
ﬁnance report, payment
of bills, and the income

tax report.
Brenda Barnhart
appeared before council
to inform council members of the National Day
of Prayer to be held on
May 5 and requested
permission to place signs
along the walking path
as had been done in the
past. Council agreed this
was ﬁne and passed a
proclamation declaring
May 5 as National Day of
Prayer in Middleport.
Jim Hudson appeared
before council to discuss
problems he has had over
the past year with his
water meter readings.
Hudson said over a year
ago, his bill started rising
and he could not get anyone to solve the problem
and said it was not from a

leak. He presented ﬁgures
showing the meter readings for months during
the problem and months
after the problem was
ﬁnally ﬁxed. From Hudson’s ﬁgures he claims
he overpaid by $1,502
during that period and
requested the amount be
refunded to him. Hudson
said he did not expect
an answer tonight but
would be back at the next
meeting. The issue was
discussed by council and
Blank and agreed that a
decision would be made
at the next meeting.
Hoffman said he and
Hendrickson had been
discussing projects and
felt the need for a new
roof on village hall was
the most pressing issue

at this time. Hoffman
said Hendrickson is in
the process of obtaining
quotes and hopes to have
them soon. Hoffman said
he felt the cost is really
going to be too much
to ask on the CDBG
program since they usually have approximately
$140,000 and suggested
allocating $20,000 to
$30,000 of the next round
of ARP funds towards
this project and request
the balance on our CDBG
application. After a short
discussion, council tabled
any action until the next
meeting with the anticipation of having an estimate by that time.

OHIO VALLEY —
Holzer Health System is
proud to honor and celebrate National Healthcare
Volunteer Week April
17-23.
“We currently have
80 volunteers serving
throughout the Holzer
Health System in multiple
departments,” said Abby
Greer, Manager, Holzer
Heritage Foundation and
Volunteer Services.
President Richard
Nixon established
National Volunteer Week
with an executive order
in 1974 as a way to
recognize and celebrate

the efforts of volunteers. Every sitting U.S.
President since Nixon has
issued a proclamation for
National Volunteer Week
(as have many U.S. mayors and governors).
Since then, the original
emphasis on celebration
has widened; the week
has become a nationwide
effort to urge people to
get out and volunteer in
their communities. Every
April, charities, hospitals,
and communities recognize volunteers and foster
a culture of service.
Volunteering has a long
and distinguished history

at Holzer. The American
Red Cross Gray Ladies
served the Holzer Hospital Cedar Street location,
which opened in 1917
with 25-beds, delivering
mail for our patients.
Holzer Medical Center Gallipolis opened in 1972
with ﬁve separate groups
involved in the total
volunteer program: the
HMC Volunteer Service
League, the Red Cross
Gray Ladies, RSVP members, Foster Grandparent
Program, and Volunteens.
Since those early beginnings, Holzer volunteers
have continued to con-

tribute thousands of
hours of service.
Holzer is proud to be a
part of a generous community ﬁlled with individuals willing to give time
to the patients we serve.
We set aside this time
each year to recognize
and honor the important
role that each volunteer
plays in contributing to
the success of our organization. For more information about volunteering,

org/ways-of-giving/volunteer/.

Editor’s Note: Gallia Meigs Briefs will only list
event information that is open to the public and
will be printed on a space-available basis.

CHARLOTTE,
N.C. — Lillian
Macel (Smith)
Barton passed
away peacefully
in the company of
family on April 15,
2022 in Charlotte,
N.C. Macel was born
December 6, 1925 in
Meigs County, the youngest of eight children.
Macel was married
September 28,1957 to
Richard Sherman Barton
of Point Pleasant, W.Va.
They were happily married for 45 years until
Richard’s death in 2002.
She was an avid gardener
and long-time member of
the Chester Garden Club.
Much to the chagrin
of her family she could
often be found in early
mornings or late evenings
working tirelessly to
ensure her ﬂower beds
were some of the prettiest in the area.
For over 50 years,
Macel sold Home &amp;
Auto Insurance in rural
Southeastern Ohio. She
welcomed customers into
her home for insurance,
but often they also were
served a homemade meal.
Her customers became
more than customers,
they were neighbors, and
often lifelong friends.
Macel was a Christian.
She loved her Lord and
loved her church. She
attended the Church of
the Nazarene in Chester
for over 90 years. After
moving to Charlotte,
she attended Pineville
Church of the Nazarene,
and later Calvary Church
of Charlotte. Living a life
of service was extremely
important to Macel
as she served in many
church functions throughout her life. She served as
church treasurer in Ohio
up until her last three
years. Even while spending the last few months
in a nursing home, Macel
looked for ways to help
and serve others. She
often told her children
that she believed she had
found her calling in the

County, 11-1
From Staff Reports

CENTENARY, Ohio — Apparently it didn’t sit

The hosts scored twice in both the fourth and
ﬁfth frames to complete the 10-run triumph.
GAHS outhit the Vikings by a 9-5 overall margin and also beneﬁted from ﬁve VCHS errors.

Reds’ Greene among top MLB prospects to debut so far
By Noah Trister
AP Baseball Writer

Even in this era of
triple-digit fastballs and
high strikeout totals,
Hunter Greene has a
chance to stand out.
The Cincinnati rookie
went toe-to-toe with the
powerful Dodgers on
Saturday night, shutting
them out for ﬁve innings
before Trea Turner ﬁnally
hit a two-run homer off
him in the sixth. In just
his second big league
start, Greene threw 39
pitches that were 100
mph or faster, the most
since pitch tracking
began in 2008.
According to Statcast,

Greene is averaging 100
mph with his four-seam
fastball so far.
Greene is ranked as
baseball’s No. 22 prospect by MLB Pipeline.
He’s one of a handful of
noteworthy newcomers
who have debuted in this
young season. Here are a
few others:
— Bobby Witt Jr.,
Royals (No. 1 in MLB
Pipeline’s prospect rankings): The No. 2 pick
in the 2019 draft, Witt
started with a ﬂourish,
hitting a key double in a
win on opening day. At
this point, however, the
21-year-old shortstop is
batting just .156.

but the 21-year-old shortstop is 3 for 26 so far. He
did hit his ﬁrst career
homer Thursday.
— Nick Lodolo, Reds
(No. 41): The 24-year-old
lefty could form a nice
partnership with Greene
in Cincinnati for years to
come. He made his debut
Wednesday, allowing ﬁve
runs in four innings in a
start against Cleveland.
— Bryson Stott, Phillies (No. 44): Stott has
already started at second,
third and shortstop for
Philadelphia, but he’s 4
for 26 with just one extrabase hit.
— MacKenzie Gore,
Padres (No. 85): The No.
3 pick in the 2017 draft,

Gore ﬁnally made his
big league debut Friday,
allowing two runs in 5
1/3 innings against Atlanta. Gore was one of the
game’s top prospects, but
he struggled at Triple-A
last year, and his current
MLB Pipeline ranking
suggests expectations are
more tempered now.
— Matt Brash, Mariners (No. 97): Brash
wasn’t selected until the
113th pick of the 2019
draft, but he tore through
two levels of the minors
last year, then made his
Mariners debut this past
week without ever pitching in Triple-A. In two
starts for Seattle, he went
1-1 with a 3.38 ERA, and

he earned his ﬁrst win
Sunday against Houston.
— Seiya Suzuki, Cubs:
The 27-year-old outﬁelder
is closer to a ﬁnished
product than a prospect
after coming over from
Japan, but adjusting to
the major leagues isn’t
easy. Chicago has to be
thrilled with his start —
he’s 10 for 25 at the plate
with four home runs.
— Steven Kwan,
Guardians: The 24-yearold Kwan isn’t in MLB
Pipeline’s top 100, but
he’s putting himself in the
Rookie of the Year discussion early after going 8
for 10 with three walks in
his ﬁrst three games. He’s
now hitting .385.

The Green and Gold
broke things open in the
third inning, scoring ﬁve
runs.
First, Ella Carleton
hit a single to get Juli
Durst and Megan Maxon
home.
Soon after, Sydney
Reynolds hit a 3-run
homer to left ﬁeld to
bring herself, Carleton
and Emma Putman
home.
The road team was
able to cruise from
there, picking up runs in
the remaining innings,
including another 5-run
effort in the seventh.

Rounding out the

Rain dampens 1st
White House Easter
Egg Roll since 2019
By Darlene Superville
Associated Press

WASHINGTON
— Snoopy, Charlie
Brown and “Tonight
Show” host Jimmy Fallon roamed the soggy
White House grounds
on Monday for the ﬁrst
Easter egg roll since
before the coronavirus
pandemic.
Undaunted by rain,
President Joe Biden and
his wife, Jill, kicked off
the equivalent of a daylong garden party for
some 30,000 kids and
adults, including celebrities and costumed
characters.
A pair of Easter bunnies escorted the Bidens
onto the Blue Room
balcony to welcome the
crowd to their backyard.
The ﬁrst lady chose
“egg-ucation” as the
theme.
The South Lawn was
turned into a school
community because
“education never stops,”
said Jill Biden, a community college professor.
“The determined spirit of education is what
we wanted to honor in
this Easter Egg Roll,”
she said.
President Biden said
it was “so special” to
be able to gather this
year after the pandemic
forced the White House
to cancel the 2020 and
2021 Easter egg rolls.
“It means so much to
see and hear the chil-

dren and all the families
show up to be here
today,” he said, citing
their joy, laughter and
occasional outbursts
of “there’s the Easter
bunny.”
Biden’s infant grandson, Beau, was among
several family members
present, including the
boy’s parents, Hunter
Biden and his wife,
Melissa. Also on hand
were the Bidens’ daughter Ashley Biden, and
Natalie Biden, one of
their granddaughters.
After their remarks,
the president and ﬁrst
lady went down to the
lawn to watch as groups
of children used wooden
spoons to coax brightly
dyed hard-boiled eggs
across a patch of wet
grass to the ﬁnish line.
“Ready, set,” Biden
said before blowing
a whistle to start the
competition. He later
coached a young eggroller, saying “Go, You
got it!”
The couple then visited the reading nook,
where Biden held up a
copy of “Brown Bear,
Brown Bear, What Do
You See?” as the ﬁrst
lady quickly read aloud
“so you’re all not soaking wet,” she told those
who had been waiting
in the light rain. Fallon
joined them afterward
and read his own children’s book, “Nana
Loves You More.” Jill
Biden’s grandchildren
call her “Nana.”

Critics have seized on
the fact that states have
rolled back rules requiring masks in restaurants,
stores and other indoor
settings, and yet COVID19 cases have fallen
sharply since the omicron
variant peaked in midJanuary.

There have been a
series of violent incidents on aircraft that
have mainly been attributed to disputes over the
mask-wearing requirements.
The lawsuit was ﬁled
in July 2021 by two
plaintiffs and the Health

order as a nonproﬁt

main driver of the state’s
drug crisis — more than
poverty, job loss and
other economic stressors.
“The economic conditions were the kindling,
but the opioid suppliers
were the gasoline that
was poured directly on
that kindling,” Keyes
said.
Dr. Rahul Gupta, the
state’s former health
ofﬁcer, testiﬁed during a
video deposition shown
earlier this month that
the opioid epidemic got

so bad, the state was
having trouble ﬁnding
foster parents to care
for children. He said it
also led to increases in
public health problems
such as Hepatitis B and
HIV cases and neonatal
abstinence syndrome, a
withdrawal in newborns
caused by exposure to
drugs in the womb.
Gupta, who is now the
White House drug czar,
recorded his testimony
before he was named to
his White House position

last fall.
Before the trial started, Morrisey’s ofﬁce
announced the state
settled part of the lawsuit involving another
defendant, Endo Health
Solutions, for $26 million.
State and local governments, Native American
tribes, unions, hospitals
and other entities have
ﬁled more than 3,000
lawsuits involving the
opioid epidemic in state
and federal courts.
