The strike came as parts of southern Ukraine prepare for a further advance by Russian forces who seek to strip the country of its seacoast. Explosions rock Kyiv again as Russians rain fire on Ukraine By David Keyton and Inna Varenytsia Associated Press KYIV, Ukraine — Russia pounded a wide area of Ukraine on Thursday, including Kyiv, bombarding the city while the head of the United Nations was visiting in the boldest attack on the capital since Moscow’s forces retreated weeks ago. At least one person was killed and several were injured in the attack on Kyiv, including some who were trapped in the rubble when two buildings were hit, rescue ofﬁcials said. The bombardment came barely an hour after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a news conference with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who said Ukraine has become “an epicenter of unbearable heartache and pain.” A spokesperson said Guterres and his team were safe. Meanwhile, explosions were reported across the country, in Polinne in the west, Chernihiv near the border with Belarus, and in Fastiv, a large railway hub southwest of the capital.

Repeated incarceration, alone, often does not break the cycle. Based upon the sentencing laws in Ohio, partially in response for the costs of incarceration of offenders, the court is unable to send many offenders to prison at all when ﬁrst convicted or at least not for any signiﬁcant period of time.

First, there is “the shadow of we go. the Almighty.” Consider the enorThe soul is such a sensitive mity of the shadow cast by God in essence of our inner being. It this life. The Psalmist expressed innately wants to thrive, to rise amazement at the beneﬁcent quality of God’s shadow under which he stood. For the Psalmist, the shadow of God over-shadowed “the terror of night, the pestilence of darkness, and the destruction that wastes at noonday.” Nothing else attempting to cast a shadow on his soul could weigh him utterly down because God’s bigger shadow mitigated the affect. I do not know what shadow stands on your soul, but I know what tried to stand on mine. Yet, it is the comforting shadow of God — I have found — that continually brings relief from the heaviness of it. After all, God’s shadow of blessing does not stand on the soul. Second, there is “the shadow of His hand.” Prophet Isaiah makes a clear distinction about it. It is not a shadow God creates simply by holding His hand over us. Rather, it is the shadow created over us when we are held in God’s hand. God said, “I have covered you in the shadow of my hand.” This suggests distinct advantage. For there is no shadow bearing on our soul so heavy that God cannot lift. And, when He lifts the weight of our soul-standing shadow, He lifts the soulful strain from off our hearts and minds. Prophet Jeremiah wrote, “Under His shadow we shall live.” My shadow marks two decades now. I live under God’s shadow daily — so that I can stand.

In AD 70, less than forty years after the church followers in the days to come (cf. of our Lord had been established in Matthew 23:29-36), He cries out, Jerusalem, the city was destroyed “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city by Rome, the Temple was demolthat kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it!

John, in his Gospel reﬂects on this, saying, thew 24:15-16). “He was in the world, and the world As we follow the history that unfolded, everything happened just was made through him, yet the as Jesus predicted. He was arrested, world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did tried, cruciﬁed and then rose from the dead even as He said He would not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his be (cf. Matthew 20:17-19). Follow- name, he gave the right to become children of God (John 1:10-12; ESV).” Jesus looks to the future of all men, and recognizes that there is coming a judgment upon sin. He commands us to, “repent,” saying, “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish (Luke 13:3).” Jesus also tells us, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock (Matthew 7:24; ESV).” When we understand the compassion of Christ, and the desire of Christ to protect and shelter, as a hen might gather her chicks, those who are heading towards certain disaster, we can better understand His command to “repent.” Like His Father, Jesus is not wishing that any should perish (cf. 1 Peter 3:9). He wants all men to come to repentance because He wants all men to be saved. When the Jews heard the warnings of Jesus they did not heed them. They did exactly what Jesus warned them they were going to do, and the result was exactly what Jesus said it would be. They were foolish men building a house upon the sand, and the house collapsed. The wise man does not grow offended at the warning, but recognizes the truth of the situation: if we do not repent and turn from our sins, accepting the salvation of Christ, we will perish. The compassion of our Lord means salvation; but only if we are willing to listen to what He has to say. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

Have you ever had to stay with a new babysitter while your parents went somewhere for the day or evening? You were nervous and a little bit scared probably because you didn’t know this person and wondered what you would do while your parents were gone and if she would be nice. I’m sure your Mom and Dad told you beforehand not to be afraid or worry because they would never leave you with someone who would not God’s Kids be good to you. They told you they would be back soon to pick you up Korner and take you home. Maybe you even Ann took a stuffed animal or favorite Moody toy for comfort. Well, that’s similar to what the disciples felt like when Jesus told them He was going away from them. They were scared and worried and didn’t know how they would get along without Him being with them. After all, they had been with Him now for three years every day. Jesus told them in John 14: 25-29 that yes, He was going away, but not to be afraid or worried. His Father, God, would send a Helper, the Holy Spirit, to be with them, teach them, and help them remember all that He had said to them. Jesus told them He would be gone a little while, but He would come back to them to take them home. Jesus is gone for a little while now, but as God promised, we have the Holy Spirit to help us while He is gone. We don’t ever have to be worried or afraid of the future because we know as Christians that Jesus is coming back for us all one day soon to take us home to heaven to be with Him forever. What a comfort to know that even better than our favorite stuffed animal. Let’s say a prayer. Dear God, thank you for sending Jesus and the Holy Spirit to us, so we never have to fret or be anxious about our lives. We know that because we love the Lord and He loves us He is always with us, and one day will return to take us to our heavenly home for eternity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Softball INDIANAPOLIS — This year’s NFL draft prospects reluctantly recall their personal COVID-19 experiences. Some consider them inspirational reminders of obstacles already overcome. Others sound more reminiscent of old war stories. And while the stories change, each comes with unforgettably vivid detail and heartfelt emotion about a challenging two-year battle to pursue their dreams. Pandemic protocols prevented Alabama receiver John Metchie III from seeing his Canadian family for two years. South Dakota State running back Pierre Strong played 24 games in 10 months. Minnesota tackle Daniel Faalele tipped the scales at 405 pounds after opting out of the 2020 season. Kentucky guard Darian Kinnard worked out by ﬂipping logs while his mother tended to hospitalized patients and UConn defensive tackle Travis Jones dealt with the cancellation of an entire season. None of it was easy. “I’m glad my family was staying safe and all,” Metchie said in March. “Not seeing my mom for two years was tough. I knew, eventually, I’d see her again. Of course, technology nowadays helps. It’s not the same as seeing them in person or being around them in person, but it deﬁnitely helps.” This draft class arrived on campus with the exuberant expectation of a traditional college experience and instead wound up using video calls to socialize, isolation to continue playing and pure grit to cope with constantly evolving rules, regulations and restrictions. These players lost the 2020 spring football schedule and planned individual workouts with whatever they could ﬁnd nearby. Even when they did return to campus, uncertainty remained. Some Big Ten Conference schools actually started practicing in pads before university presidents pulled everyone off the ﬁeld and announced no games would be played. When the SEC and other leagues did not follow the Big Ten’s lead, Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and his Buckeyes teammates petitioned conference ofﬁcials to reinstate the season. The effort worked — sort of. “It’s crazy,” Ohio State tackle Nick Petit-Frere said. “The season got canceled, came back, games got canceled.

This has been a once-in-a-lifetime two or three years.” But in some cases, the physical and mental toll came with a cost. Strong faced a monumental obstacle when the Football Championship Division decided to play a spring and fall season in 2021. He helped the Jackrabbits make playoff runs both times, logging 371 carries and 2,393 yards from mid-February to mid-December. Still, he ran a 4.37-second 40-yard dash, tying Isaih Pacheco of Rutgers for the best time among running backs at the NFL’s annual scouting combine. While Kinnard took the usual measures of extra hand washing and social distancing to help keep his mother healthy, the 6-foot-5, 322-pound offensive lineman like many people was unhappy being “cooped up” as he ran hills to stay in shape. At Louisiana, it was worse for tackle Max Mitchell, who spent two weeks in isolation after a COVID-19 test showed he had antibodies. He returned in October and ﬁnished the season, but the impact lingers. “It was frustrating to say the least,” Mitchell said. “I never tested positive and they came and pulled me off the ﬁeld in the middle of practice. If you’ve been sick, I understand you have to take care of yourself. But when you feel ﬁne, there’s a guilty feeling when you’re not out there.” It’s not just what happens on the ﬁeld, either. When NFL ofﬁcials announced during the combine that all COVID-19 restrictions would be lifted this fall, the feeling from the overwhelming majority of the 300-plus invitees was gratitude. “First, no one wants that stick up your nose,” Auburn linebacker Zakoby McClain said. “I got my vaccine so I didn’t have to go through it as much. It will be very stress-free because no one wants that stick up their nose.” For a player such as Metchie, who was born in his mother’s native Taiwan, lived in Ghana until moving to Canada at age 6 and attended high schools in New Jersey and Maryland as the son of a Nigerian father before choosing Alabama, the easing of travel restrictions would be a welcome respite — especially as he works his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Biden promised that the U.S. would work to support its allies’ energy needs, saying, “We will not let Russia intimidate or blackmail their way out of the sanctions.” Biden said the new package “addresses the needs of the Ukrainian military during the crucial weeks and months ahead” and begins a transition to longer-term security assistance that’s “going to help Ukraine deter and continue to defend against Russian aggression.” There is wide, bipartisan support in Congress for giving Ukraine all the help it needs to ﬁght the Russians, and its eventual approval of assistance seems certain. But Biden and congressional Democrats also want lawmakers to approve billions more to battle the pandemic, and that along with a Republican push to entangle the measure with an extension of some Trump-era immigration restrictions leaves the proposal’s pathway to enactment unclear. Biden asked lawmakers to include an additional $22.5 billion for vaccines, treatments, testing and aid to other countries in continuing efforts to contain COVID-19, saying “we’re running out of supply for therapeutics.” But that ﬁgure, which Biden also requested last month, seems aspirational. In a compromise with Republicans, Senate Democrats have already agreed to pare that ﬁgure to $10 billion, and reviving the higher amount would be at best an uphill ﬁght. Biden said he had no preference whether lawmakers combined the virus funding with the Ukraine package or split them up. “They can do it separately or together,” Biden said, “but we need them both.” That suggested a willingness by Biden to speed passage of the Ukraine money by sidestepping the complications of tying it to the political ﬁghts over COVID-19 spending and immigration. Biden was also asking Congress on Thursday for new powers to seize and repurpose the assets of Russian oligarchs, saying the U.S. was seizing luxury yachts and homes of “bad guys.” He wants lawmakers to make it a criminal offense for a person to “knowingly or intentionally possess proceeds directly obtained from corrupt dealings with the Russian government,” double the statute of limitations for foreign money laundering offenses to 10 years, and expand the deﬁnition of “racketeering” under U.S. law to include efforts to evade sanctions. Biden also asked Congress to allow the federal government use the proceeds from selling the seized assets of sanctioned Russian oligarchs to help the people of Ukraine. In a virtual address to International Monetary Fund and World Bank leaders last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for the proceeds of sanctioned property and Central Bank reserves to be used to compensate Ukraine for its losses. He said that frozen Russian assets “have to be used to rebuild Ukraine after the war as well as to pay for the losses caused to other nations.’’ Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said at the time that congressional action would be needed to authorize such actions. The war has already caused more than $60 billion in damage to buildings and infrastructure, World Bank President David Malpass said last week. And the IMF in its latest world economic outlook forecast that Ukraine’s economy will shrink by 35% this year and next. the face of unexpectedly stiff resistance. “Wherever there is a war, the highest price is paid by civilians,” the U.N. chief lamented. Separately, Ukraine’s prosecutor accused 10 Russian soldiers of being “involved in the torture of peaceful people” in Bucha. Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova did not say her ofﬁce had ﬁled criminal charges, and she appealed to the public for help in gathering evidence. Russia denies it targets civilians. In the attack on Kyiv, explosions shook the city and ﬂames poured out of windows in at least two buildings — including one residential one — in the capital, which has been relatively unscathed in recent weeks. Plumes of smoke could be seen over the city. The explosions in northwest Kyiv’s Shevchenkivsky district came as residents have been increasingly returning to the city. Cafes and other businesses have reopened, and a growing numbers of people have been out and about, enjoying the spring weather. “I was shocked to be informed that two rockets have exploded in the city where I am,” Guterres was quoted as telling the BBC. “So this is a dramatic war, and we absolutely need to end this war and we absolutely need to have a solution for this war.” Getting a full picture of the unfolding battle in the east has been difﬁcult because airstrikes and artillery barrages have made it extremely dangerous for reporters to move around. Several journalists have been killed in the war, now in its third month. Also, both Ukraine and the Moscow-backed rebels ﬁghting in the east have introduced tight restrictions on reporting from the combat zone. Western ofﬁcials say the Kremlin’s apparent goal is to take the Donbas by encircling and crushing Ukrainian forces from the north, south and east. But so far, Russia’s troops and their allied separatist forces appear to have made only minor gains, taking several small towns as they try to advance in relatively small groups against staunch Ukrainian resistance. Russian military units were mauled in the abortive bid to storm Kyiv and had to regroup and reﬁt. Some analysts say the delay in launching a full-ﬂedged offensive may reﬂect a decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin to wait until his forces are ready for a decisive battle, instead of rushing in and risking another failure that could shake his rule amid worsening economic conditions at home because of Western sanctions. Many observers suspect Putin wants to be able to claim a big victory in the east by Victory Day, on May 9, one of the proudest holidays on the Russian calendar, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany during World War II. As Russia presses its offensive, civilians again bear the brunt. “It’s not just scary. It’s when your stomach contracts from pain,” said Kharkiv resident Tatiana Pirogova. “When they shoot during the day, it’s still OK, but when the evening comes, I can’t describe how scary it is.” Ukraine’s military said that Russian troops were subjecting several places in the Donbas to “intense ﬁre” and that over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces had repelled six attacks in the region. Four civilians were killed in heavy shelling of residential areas in the Luhansk region of the Donbas, according to the regional governor. Columns of smoke could be seen rising at different points across the Donetsk region of the Donbas, and artillery and sirens were heard on and off. In Mariupol, video posted online by Ukraine’s Azov Regiment inside the steel plant showed people combing through the rubble to remove the dead and help the wounded. The regiment said the Russians hit an improvised underground hospital and its surgery room, killing an unspeciﬁed number of people. The video couldn’t be independently veriﬁed. Hundreds of thousands of Mariupol’s residents have ﬂed. Authorities said the estimated 100,000 who remain run the risk of diseases like cholera and dysentery. “Deadly epidemics may break out in the city due to the lack of centralized water supply and sewers,” the city council said on the messaging app Telegram. It reported bodies decomposing under the rubble and a “catastrophic” shortage of drinking water and food. “The cost of this fight is not Associated Press cheap, but caving to aggression is going to be more costly. WASHINGTON — It’s critical this funding gets President Joe Biden asked Congress on Thurs- approved and as quickly as day for an additional $33 possible.” billion to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s invasion, a signal that the U.S. is prepared to mount a robust, long-term campaign to bolster Kyiv and weaken Moscow as the bloody war enters its third month with no sign of abating. Biden’s latest proposal — which the White House said was expected to support Ukraine’s needs for ﬁve months — has more than $20 billion in military assistance for Kyiv and for shoring up defenses in nearby countries. There is also $8.5 billion in economic aid to help keep Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government functioning and $3 billion for food and humanitarian programs around the world. The assistance package, which heads to Congress for consideration, would be more than twice as large as the initial $13.6 billion in defense and economic aid for Ukraine and Western allies enacted last month that is now almost exhausted. It was meant to signify that the U.S. is not tiring of helping to stave off Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to expand his nation’s control of its neighbor, and perhaps beyond. “The cost of this ﬁght is not cheap, but caving to aggression is going to be more costly,” Biden Ukraine From page 1 by air defenses. Ukrainian authorities also reported intense Russian ﬁre in the Donbas — the eastern industrial heartland that the Kremlin says its main objective — and near Kharkiv, a northeastern city outside the Donbas that is seen as key to the offensive. In the ruined southern port city of Mariupol, Ukrainian ﬁghters holed up in the steel plant that represents the last pocket of resistance said concentrated bombing overnight killed and wounded more people. And authorities warned that a lack of safe drinking water inside the city could lead to outbreaks of deadly diseases. In Zaporizhzhia, a crucial way station for tens of thousands of people ﬂeeing Mariupol, an 11-year-old boy was among at least three people wounded in a rocket attack that authorities said was the ﬁrst to hit a residential area in the southern city since the war began. Shards of glass cut the boy’s leg to the bone. Vadym Vodostoyev, the boy’s father, said: “It just takes one second and you’re left with nothing.” The fresh attacks came as Guterres surveyed the destruction in small towns outside the capital that saw some of the worst horrors of the ﬁrst onslaught of the war. He condemned the atrocities committed in towns like Bucha, where evidence of mass killings of civilians was found after Russia withdrew in early April in — President Joe Biden, speaking on aid to Ukraine By Lauran Neergaard Moderna is seeking to be the ﬁrst to offer COVID-19 vaccine for the youngest American children, as it asked the Food and Drug Administration Thursday to clear low-dose shots for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Frustrated families are waiting impatiently for a chance to protect the nation’s littlest kids as all around them people shed masks and other public health precautions -- even though highly contagious coronavirus mutants continue to spread. Already about three-quarters of children of all ages show signs they’ve been infected at some point during the pandemic. Moderna submitted data to the Food and Drug Administration that it hopes will prove two low-dose shots can protect children younger than 6 -- although the effectiveness wasn’t nearly as high in kids tested during the omicron surge as earlier in the pandemic. “There is an important unmet medical need here with these youngest kids,” Dr. Paul Burton, Moderna’s chief medical ofﬁcer, told The Associated Press. Two kid-size shots “will safely protect them. I think it is likely that over time they will need additional doses. But we’re working on that.” Moderna said two kid doses were about 40% to 50% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19, not a home run but for many parents, any protection would be better than none. That effectiveness is “less than optimal. We were hoping for better efﬁcacy but this is a ﬁrst step,” said Dr. Nimmi Rajagopal of Cook County Health in Chicago. She’s anxiously awaiting vaccinations for her youngest patients and her own 3-year-old son who’s ready to enter preschool. “It gives me such peace of mind to know that hopefully by fall I’ll get him in school and he’ll be fully vaccinated,” she said. Now, only children ages 5 or older can be vaccinated in the U.S., using rival Pﬁzer’s vaccine, leaving 18 million younger tots unprotected. Moderna’s vaccine isn’t the only one in the race. Pﬁzer is soon expected to announce if three of its even smaller-dose shots work for the littlest kids, months after the disappointing discovery that two doses weren’t quite strong enough. Whether it’s one company’s shots or both, FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks said the agency will “move quickly without sacriﬁcing our standards” in deciding if tot-sized doses are safe and effective.

Jim Justice, as well as appearances in Mason County by Nucor Corporation representatives. Nucor, reported to be the largest steel producer in the United States and a Fortune 150 company based in Charlotte, N.C., will be constructing what a company news release described as a “state-ofthe-art sheet mill” in Apple Grove, W.Va. with an investment that is an estimated $2.7 billion. According to a news release from the governor’s ofﬁce, upon completion, the mill is expected to create approximately 800 “high-quality” manufacturing jobs. Construction of the facility, which will begin in 2022, will create an additional 1,000 jobs. Nucor employs 28,000 teammates at approximately 300 facilities located primarily in North America. Nucor teammates are “among the highest paid and most productive in the steel industry,” further stated the governor’s news release. The mill will have the capacity to produce up to 3 million tons of sheet steel per year for the automotive, appliance, HVAC, heavy equipment, agricultural, transportation, and construction markets. It will also include advanced downstream processing capabilities, including a tandem cold mill, annealing capabilities, and initially two galvanizing lines. Galvanizing capabilities will include an advanced high-end automotive line with full inspection capabilities as well as a construction-grade line. Nucor expects the Mason County facility to be operational by 2024. The company also announced it is consider- The sun shines on Mason County as representatives from Nucor Corporation speak and are welcomed to the area. ing building a transloading and processing center in the northern part of the state in order to create a broader logistics network to better serve its customers in the upper Midwest and Northeast regions. This facility would create additional jobs in the state. When asked by Ohio Valley Publishing, Mason County Economic Development Authority Director John Musgrave clariﬁed that $2.7 billion is in reference to the Mason County project only. Musgrave, who has been working with Nucor as well as county and state ofﬁcials on the project, made brief remarks and introduced Nucor representatives at a small gathering outside Point Pleasant Jr./Sr. High School (PPJ/SHS) on Wednesday where Nucor presented Mason County Schools with a check for $1 million. Nucor personnel then later traveled to Crosslight of Hope in Ashton, presenting a check to Mason County Area Food Banks for $100,000 which will be divided between the county’s ﬁve local food pantries. More on these donations in an upcoming edition. A larger gathering had reportedly been planned inside the Wedge Auditorium at PPJ/SHS on Wednesday afternoon with Gov. Justice as an expected speaker, among other dignitaries, but that event was canceled following the announcement of the governor’s COVID-19 diagnosis late Tuesday night, and a smaller welcome event was then moved outside of PPJ/SHS. “This is a landmark announcement in the his- tory of our state,” Gov. Justice stated via his ofﬁce’s news release. “Nucor’s brand new facility is going to be a key part of West Virginia’s DNA long into the future. It’s going to change lives by bringing hundreds of great-paying jobs to Mason County, and the economic ripple effects will bring even more goodness to our state. “I sincerely thank Nucor for their commitment to West Virginia and for allowing us to showcase our ability to compete with other states for major manufacturing facilities like this. From the very ﬁrst call with their CEO, I knew they shared the values that we in West Virginia share as well, ones that will make us great partners for generations to come. It took a team of people to pull this off, and I am immensely proud of all those involved.” Members of the Mason County Board of Education and Mason County Commission met separately on Wednesday, ﬁnalizing and approving the details of a Payment In Lieu of Tax (PILOT) agreement, which will include PILOT payments to the county from Nucor. More on these details in an upcoming edition. As previously reported by the Associated Press, a tax incentive for a potential industrial manufacturing project in West Virginia was also sent to the governor Tuesday following a special session held this week. “We are incredibly excited to be building this new steel mill in West Virginia. This will be the world’s most advanced sheet steel mill producing the most OVP file photos Crews with the City of Point Pleasant work to hang a large banner along Viand Street, welcoming Nucor West Virginia to the county.

We look forward to being part of the community for decades to come.” The news release from the governor’s ofﬁce also noted Nucor produces steel by recycling scrap metal in electric arc furnaces, making the company North America’s largest recycler of any material. This steelmaking process makes Nucor one of the cleanest steel producers in the world and a leader in sustainable steel produc- tion, according to the news release. “West Virginia competed against our neighboring states, especially Ohio and Pennsylvania, to attract the company,” according to the governor’s ofﬁce. The process began in August 2021 and included site location assistance, data analysis, and relationship developments throughout the state. The coordinated effort of state, local, and regional organizations “made West Virginia a leader during the competitive site search,” stated the news release. “This is an enormous accomplishment for the great state of West Virginia,” said West Virginia Department of Economic Development Secretary Mitch Carmichael. “It is an honor to share in this announcement of Nucor’s new location in Mason County. There was a lot of hard work and dedication that went into making this a reality and there’s no doubt that West Virginia is the best place for this steel mill. We give a warm welcome and look forward to supporting the Nucor team as they succeed in West Virginia.” More on Nucor’s welcome to Mason County on Wednesday, as well as reaction from local ofﬁcials, in an upcoming edition.

In May, construction equipment arrived and fencing was erected for the new Gallia County Jail facility. The project is estimated to cost roughly $20 million, with funding secured via the issuance of tax-exempt bonds, as previously reported by the Gallia County Commissioners. The 32,000-square foot facility is expected to take 16 months to complete, it will have a basement, ﬁrst ﬂoor and partial second story. Granger Construction is the construction managerat-risk for the project. Clark reported prices on some of the construction materials were locked in prior to an uptick in costs of those materials seen across the country. As for the start of the construction process, it will impact parking in the immediate area of the court house. In June, ground was ofﬁcially broken on the new Gallia County Jail facility. The new jail will have the capability of housing 120 incarcerated individuals, but can also be expanded to offer 160-180 beds in the future, if the need arises, due to the infrastructure already being put in place. The new facility will replace the current one which is housed in the basement of the Gallia County Courthouse and was originally built in the early 1960’s with an initial capacity of 38 incarcerated people. The groundbreaking was held on what will be the jail’s new home, located behind the Gallia County Courthouse and across from the Gallipolis Municipal Court and Police ofﬁces. Residents may have noticed the fencing along Second Avenue in recent weeks which encloses the construction site.

Sharing the podium with Montgomery and current Commissioners M. Eugene Greene and Q. Jay Stapleton, were former commissioners Dr. David K. Smith and Brent “Coach” Saunders. Both Smith and Saunders were in ofﬁce with Montgomery when the project went from a concept to imminent reality. Additional collaborators on the project who were sharing the stage included Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin, Greg Galieti, director of architecture for DLZ and Jamie Brundrett, senior project manager for Granger. In October, Gallia County Commissioners announced an award of $5.5 million to Gallia County for the construction of the new jail facility.

According to a news release from the commissioners’ ofﬁce, Gallia County will receive capital funding in the amount of $5.5 million to use toward the on-going construction of a new jail facility. OH-70280607 50% OH-70280781 Up To 80% A total of $50 million was allocated to support local jail renovations in Senate Bill 310 which was passed by the Ohio General Assembly and signed by Gov. Mike DeWine in December 2020. The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s (ODRC) Bureau of Adult Detention administered the application process and selected jails based on those with the greatest need for construction and renovation work to improve conditions and operations, stated the news release. The ability of each jail to serve neighboring jurisdictions was also considered. President of the Gallia County Board of Commissioners Harold Montgomery stated: “It is a great day for Gallia County. Out of 52 requests state-wide totaling $320 million, we are truly honored and appreciative to have been selected to receive this $5.5 million grant award. This announcement has come at a time when increased funding is needed to offset the steep increase in project costs.” In addition, Commissioner Montgomery said: “This entire project has been a cooperative endeavor between the Gallia County Commissioners, Sheriff Matt Champlin and the staff of both our ofﬁces. Lastly, we want to thank Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Legislature for their vision and concern for Southeastern Ohio. Also thank you to our State Representative Jason Stephens and State Senator Bob Peterson.” Sheriff Champlin also provided a statement following Friday’s announcement: “The receipt of funding to support our jail project is vital to Gallia County. During my time in ofﬁce, my staff and I have focused on providing the most professional law enforcement services to the citizens we serve and this new jail will be just one more piece to the level of service we can provide. The new jail will not only allow us to be self-sufﬁcient and maximize the use of our tax dollars, but it will also allow us to bring in revenue from our surrounding counties.” This story is a combination of multiple stories written by OVP staff throughout the year. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. �Ohio Valley Publishing PRIDE & PROGRESS 2022 Meigs Public Transit system operational khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.com OH-70279719 OH-70280564 MIDDLEPORT — The Meigs County Public Transit system is now in operation, transporting Meigs Countians to medical appointments. The public transit, which is operated by the Meigs County Department of Jobs and Family Service (DJFS), ofﬁcially started at the beginning of the year, but the agency “experimented” with operations in the fall, according to DJFS Director Chris Shank. As of January, there were six vehicles used for the transit system, four of which are handicap accessible vans. The transit system is an “on-demand” appointment based system. Rides are available for non-emergency transport to Medicaid appointments. To arrange a ride to a Medicaid appointment, call 740-444-5555. Shank said the transit is currently averaging 15 trips per day, Monday through Friday. From Jan. 1 to Jan. 24, 83 trips were made, transporting 109 people. Shank said the department will work to expand the transit system, eventually assisting agencies in transportation and transporting the public to places such as grocery stores, pharmacies and the license bureau. The transit system currently has nine inter-agency agreements. Shank said these agreements provide some funding in addition to the grants from the Ohio Department of Transportation. Those funds have totaled over $938,000, and allowed the transit system to hire employees and purchase vehicles. Shank said the agency will apply for those grants again in the spring, which would be funded next year. Shank said the trips are billed internally with the state for patients. If the transit is available for the public, Shank said there would be an “affordable” fare for the cost of the ride. Kayla (Hawthorne) Dunham is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

OVP Sports Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Derek Raike has his arm lifted for the fourth and final time of his career after capturing his fourth individual state title on Saturday, March 5, in the Class AA-A 160-pound division of the 2022 WVSSAC Championships held in Huntington, W.Va. Seniors Colby Price (220) and Mackandle Freeman (138) also earned podium ﬁnishes after respectively placing fourth and ﬁfth within their weight classes. Seniors Ethan Marcum (170) and Brayden Connolly (195), as well as sophomore Ciah Nutter (132), all recorded two wins apiece for the Red and Black. Junior Luke Mofﬁtt also went 1-2 overall at 182 pounds. All 13 Point Pleasant participants won at least one match and the 25 total pinfall wins set a new program record at a single tournament, surpassing the mark of 24 set by last year’s squad. Overall, the Big Blacks posted a 42-13 overall record and had two major decision victories to go along with the 25 pinfall wins. The 42 wins are one more than last year’s total at the state level and ends up being two short of the school mark of 44 wins recorded back in 2020. It was the ﬁfth time in program history that PPHS scored over 200 points as a team at the state tournament, as well as the fourth consecutive postseason. Point has also beaten the entire ﬁeld by triple-digits in each of the last three tournaments, accounting for the only three occurrences in the school’s history. Needless to say, it was a decent three days for Point Pleasant wrestling — past, present and, most impor- tantly, the future. Afterwards, Bonecutter spoke about the signiﬁcance of this historic 4-peat, acquiring the program’s seventh overall crown, and coming away with six more state champions as part of another dominant showing at the highest level of the sport. “It was almost a perfect night, but it was a wonderful weekend. It was a good night for us, meaning the kids, the program and the town. All you had to do tonight was look around and listen to know that Point Pleasant is a wrestling community,” Bonecutter said. “It’s uncharted territory for us, and it’s a heck of a way to send out this senior class. We’ll also have eight qualiﬁers and four state champions returning next year, so maybe we aren’t going to fall off as much as some might have previously thought. “We elevated the program this weekend with this championship, and I also think we elevated things with the way we performed in the ﬁnals Saturday night. We had nailbiters, we had overtime, we scored a few pinfalls and we had one not go our way. That’s the thing, it wasn’t perfect, and that’s why we’ll be back at work Monday getting ready for all of the things that go into preparing for next season. We’ll enjoy what we’ve done this weekend, for sure, but we’ll be chasing the same goal next year. And we’ll be wearing the same target too.” Point Pleasant scored 46 points with a 12-1 record that included 11 pinfall wins, which resulted in a 22.5-point lead over the ﬁeld after Session 1. PPHS led by 41.5 points and owned 103 points after the second session, then secured 194 points after Session 3 for a 101-point lead over the ﬁeld. The Big Blacks scored 203 points and led by 92 points following Saturday afternoon’s fourth session, then tacked on another 30 points with six wins in the ﬁnal session. Dillon Perdue (106) and Colten Caron (170) of Independence,, Braxton Smith (132) of Nitro, Kolbie Hamilton (138) of Fairmont Senior, Ian Bush (182) of Cameron, Tate Britton (195) of Sissonville and Cody Houser (220) of St. Marys were the remaining Class AA-A state champions from the 2022 tournament. Both Bush and Houser represented the lone single-A programs to come away with an individual state title. Wheeling Park captured the Class AAA championship with 207.5 points, while University was the runner-up out of 29 scoring teams with 176 points. Matthew McAfee of St. Albans was named the triple-A MOW and Brian Leggett of Wheeling Park captured Class AAA coach of the year honors. Mat Time Podcast, hosted by Point Pleasant natives Zach Sayre and Daniel Tench, was honored with the Snyder-Miller Media Person of the Year award at the event as well. A pair of stories featuring the six individual state champions will appear in the Wednesday sports editions of the Point Pleasant Register, Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Holzer Gallipolis offers robotic-arm assisted joint replacement Submitted story OH-70282109 Innovative robotic technology allows surgeons to personalize total knee, partial knee, and total hip replacement procedures. Holzer Gallipolis is the latest hospital in the region to offer Mako SmartRobotics™. This advancement in joint replacement surgery transforms the way total knee, partial knee and total hip replacements are performed, by helping surgeons know more and cut less. “With Mako SmartRobotics™, I know more about my patients than ever before, and I’m able to cut less. For some patients, this can mean less soft tissue damage; for others, greater bone preservation,” said Charles Bishop, MD, Holzer Health System. “Mako’s 3D CT allows me to create a personalized plan based on each patient’s unique anatomy before entering the operating room. “During surgery, I can validate the surgery plan and make any necessary adjustments while guiding the robotic arm to execute that plan,” said Jason Cox, DO of Holzer Health System. “It’s exciting to be able to offer this technology across the joint replacement service line for replacement surgeries.” Total knee replacements in the United States are expected to increase 189% by 2030, yet studies have shown that approximately 20% of patients are dissatisﬁed after conventional surgery. Mako Total Knee enables surgeons to have a more predictable surgical experience with increased precision and accuracy. In clinical Submitted Photo studies, Mako Total Knee demonstrated the potential for patients to experience less pain, less need for opiate analgesics, less need for inpatient physical therapy, reduction in length of hospital stay, improved knee ﬂexion and greater soft tissue protection in comparison to manual techniques. Mako SmartRobotics™ for Partial Knee replacement is a treat- ment option designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis that has not yet progressed to all three compartments of the knee. During surgery, the surgeon guides the robotic arm during bone preparation to execute the predetermined surgical plan and position the implant. By selectively targeting only the part of the knee damaged by osteoarthritis, surgeons can resurface the diseased portion of the knee while helping to protect the healthy bone surrounding the knee joint. Studies have shown that robotic arm assisted partial knee replacement, leads to greater accuracy of implant position compared to manual partial knee replacement procedures. By 2030, total hip replacements in the United States are projected to grow 171%. Mako SmartRobotics™ for Total Hip is a treatment option for adults who suffer from degenerative joint disease of the hip. During surgery, the surgeon guides the robotic arm during bone preparation to prepare the hip socket and position the implant according to the predetermined surgical plan. In a controlled matchedpaired study to measure the bone resection. This results in greater bone preservation for Mako Total Hip compared to manual surgery. “We are proud to be among the ﬁrst hospitals to offer this highly advanced SmartRobotics™ technology in our area,” said J.T. Holland, Executive Director, Surgical & Musculoskeletal Services, Holzer Health System. “This addition to our orthopedic service line further demonstrates our commitment to provide the community with outstanding healthcare.” If you are in need of joint replacement surgery, reach out to Holzer Orthopedics to schedule your visit. Our team will provide an individualized plan of treatment for your healthcare needs.

Holzer honors outstanding respiratory therapist Seagraves with PHIL Award OH-70282249 Holzer Health System has selected Mike Seagraves, RT, to be its 2022 recipient of The PHIL Award. This annual award is part of The FACES Foundation's program to recognize exemplary respiratory care. The PHIL Award is the only nationally recognized hospital-based program that honors outstanding respiratory therapists, as nominated by patients, their family members, and other caregivers. This is the ﬁrst year for Holzer to implement and present the PHIL award at our organization. Mike was nominated by several staff members who wrote that “Mike is genuine and caring. He always goes the extra mile for his patients.” Other nominations included remarks about his experience and ability to help educate and assist those to provide the best care possible. Another shared, “Patient’s love Mike and always light up when he enters a room.” Mike joined Holzer in February 1999 as a Respiratory Therapist. He completed his education at the California College for Health vices, Holzer Health System. “Mike sees the ‘person’ instead of the ‘patient’; and is committed to the belief that every breath matters. It’s important that our respiratory therapists know their work is highly valued, and The PHIL Award provides a way for us to do that.” To learn more about the program, or to nominate a Holzer respiratory therapist for the PHIL award, visit https://www. holzer.org/patients-visitors/the-phil-award/.

The application enables healthcare professionals to send secure texts, photos, and video updates to a patient’s designated loved ones during a surgical procedure. Family members and friends can respond to updates. Patients who are eligible to have family members utilize the EASE app will be notiﬁed of how to sign up during the pre-admission process. Our healthcare staff can send secure messages, pictures and videos to patients’ friends and families – whether they are in the waiting room, at work, or across the country. Recipients of Vocera EASE updates are selected by the patient, and the app is free for their loved ones. The HIPAAcompliant, pictures and videos disappear 60 seconds after being viewed, and nothing is saved on their mobile devices. “EASE allows our patient’s loved ones to receive real time updates no matter their location,” said Beth Cremeans, MSN, RN, CNOR, Director of Perioperative Services, Holzer Health System. “This helps decrease anxiety and allows for our patients’ loved ones to also have a great surgery experience.” Holzer can also use Vocera EASE to track and improve the healthcare experience in real time. A customizable in-app survey offers a quick way for our staff to monitor patient and family satisfaction. “Through the EASE app, we have sent out over 1,200 messages to individuals in 25 states,” shared Cremeans. “The family members of our patients are able to stay up to date with their loved one’s care wherever they may be.” Users of the EASE app are helping Holzer patients feel less worried and are providing them with a great experience.
