In addition, schools could not prevent students from participating in activities based on their COVID-19 vaccination status, according to the legislation approved by the GOP-controlled House on Thursday after the Commerce and Labor Committee voted in favor of it hours earlier. It goes next to the Senate where the Republican president has expressed skepticism about bills interfering with business decisions. The bill also exempts employees from workplace vaccine mandates if they show proof of COVID-19 antibodies, provide evidence that they run the risk of a negative medical reaction, or decline the vaccine for reasons of conscience, including religious convictions.

High 46° / Low 26° COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The amount of marijuana grown for Ohio’s medical marijuana program would expand and the number of dispensaries able to sell it would be increased, under GOP legislation pending in the state Senate. Regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries would also move from the pharmacy board to the Commerce Department under a new Division of Marijuana Control, according to the bill proposed by Senate Health Chairman Steve Huffman, a Republican from Tipp City, a physician, and the sponsor of Ohio’s current medical marijuana law. The proposal would allow level one cultivators to expand their growing operations from 25,000 square feet to 75,000 square feet, and level two cultivators from 3,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet. Huffman’s legislation also sets a goal of one dispensary for every 1,000 registered patients, down from one dispensary for every 6,000 registered patients today. The bill also expands qualifying conditions to include any condition whose “symptoms may reasonably be expected to be relieved from medical marijuana” as determined by a physician. Ohio legalized medical marijuana in 2016 and implemented it in 2019. In addition to Huffman’s legislation, a petition drive is under way to place a proposed law legalizing marijuana use and sales before lawmakers.

The announcement came as part of the unveiling of the 2021 All-River States Conference Women’s Soccer Teams & Awards, which were selected through balloting of the 12 RSC women’s soccer head coaches. The All-RSC First & Second Teams feature 14 players each with four forwards, four midfielders, four defenders and two goalkeepers. Also selected were the individual awards for student-athletes and coaches and the Champions of Character Team. Davis, a native of Huntington, W.Va., led Rio Grande to a runner-up finish in both regular season play and the RSC Tournament, which wrapped up on Saturday. She finished with 10 goals and 26 points. Davis was one of five Rio players named to the first team, while two others earned second team selections. The others representing the RedStorm on the first team were freshman forward Kotomi Kaneshima (Himeji, Japan), sophomore midfielder Lorna Campos (Santiago, Chile) and senior defenders Ashton Snider (Lancaster, OH) and Parker Ruff (Lancaster, OH). Junior midfielder Trinity Hassey (Westerville, OH) and sophomore goal keeper Morgen Nutter (Ashville, OH) were Rio’s second team selections. Kaneshima finished with four goals, five assists and 13 points, while Campos and Ruff had one goal each and Snider tallied one assist. Campos, Ruff and Snider headlined a Rio defense that allowed just 24 goals in 19 goals, while pitching five shutouts. Hassey finished with four goals and two assists for 10 points, while Nutter posted an 8-2-2 record in goal with 46 saves and a .821 save percentage. Ohio Valley University’s Ximena Jauregui was selected as RSC Defensive Player of the Year. The Fighting Scots’ left back was a big reason why OVU had the stingiest defense in the RSC with just 12 goals allowed in 13 regular season games. Ohio Valley midfielder Manuela Filipe was selected as the RSC Newcomer of the Year. She was the highest-ranked player who was new to the conference, and she is second on the Fighting Scots with six goals and 13 points. The remainder of the first team included forwards Kimberly Trapp of IU East and Keely Hoopingarner from IU Kokomo; midfielders Sophie Pohlabel of IU East and Morgan Scruggs from IU Kokomo; Point Park defender Athena Beck; and goal keepers Gabby Mitchum of IU East and See SOCCER | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 19 Girls Basketball Teays Valley Christian at OVCS, 6 p.m. River Valley at Gallia Academy, 7:30 South Gallia at South Point, 7 p.m. Boys Basketball Teays Valley Christian at OVCS, 7:30 Saturday, Nov. 20 College Football Michigan State at Ohio State, noon Texas at West Virginia, noon Marshall at Charlotte, 3:30 Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern volleyball coach Brandi Lanning, middle right, talks with her team during a timeout in a Division III sectional final against Portsmouth at Portsmouth High School on Oct. 21 in Portsmouth, Ohio.

OH-70218306 OH-70218312 446-9295 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Friday, November 19, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing No. 3 Cincinnati will try to keep the heat on against SMU By Jeff Wallner Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder said. “We need to be playing our best ball at the end of the year.” Associated Press CINCINNATI — No. 3 Cincinnati will try to keep its College Football Playoff dream alive on Saturday against one of the better teams in the American Athletic Conference. The Bearcats’ matchup with SMU may not have the same luster as it would have had before the Mustangs dropped out of the AP Top 25 after Week 10, but there’s still a lot at stake. Besides staying in the CFP conversations, Cincinnati (10-0, 6-0 AAC, No. 5 CFP) can clinch a berth in the conference championship game. “It’s the last guaranteed game for our seniors to play in Nippert Stadium,” Bearcats coach Luke Fickell said. “And it’s a big week. It’s a huge, huge game. This is a game we have been waiting for, for quite some time.” Although SMU (8-2, 4-2) lost two straight and fell out of the AP poll, the Mustangs will be one of the tougher teams Cincinnati has faced this season, and they’ll be looking for a signature win. SMU leads the AAC in total offense (498.7), scoring offense (41.6), passing offense (329.0), and first downs (260). Junior QB Tanner Mordecai was named AAC offensive player of the week for the fourth time this season. The Okla- PASSING HIS MENTOR Ridder threw a pair of touchdown passes in last week’s win at South Florida, giving him 79 for his career to move past Gino Guidugli (2001-2004) into first place on the school’s all-time list. Guidugli is the Bearcats’ current passing game coordinator. “We don’t like to overdo or point out a lot of individual things, but this one needed to be recognized,” Fickell said of Ridder’s record-breaker. “It’s even more special when you can take a jab at Coach Guidugli.” ROAD WOES SMU is 24-8 since 2019, Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder (9) celebrates with teammates after his 13-yard touchdown run against South which includes a 14-1 record at Florida Friday in Tampa, Fla. home.

Brown shares battle with depression By Teresa M. Walker Chris O’Meara | AP Locals From page 5 Roberts, River Valley; Jalyn Short, Gallia Academy. AP Pro Football Writer NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown seemed to have everything going his way in 2020, having his best season yet in the NFL on the way to earning his first Pro Bowl honor. Behind his big smile, Brown said Thursday he was battling so hard with depression back then that he thought of killing himself. He shared a video on social media Nov. 12 on the one-year anniversary of that dark time, encouraging people to ask for help, and Brown told reporters Thursday that’s why he finally spoke up. “It was a dark moment, and it was a year ago where I had thought about taking my life, you know? And it was special to me because it just came with my heart that I wanted to share with others and help others so much as I can,” Brown said of sharing his own struggle. Growing up in Mississippi, Brown said he always brushed off his feelings and didn’t consider what depression really was. Brown wouldn’t share what led to his depression. Those feelings wound up almost overwhelming him. Brown said he thought long and hard about posting the video he recorded earlier on Nov. 12. He was nervous about whether he should share his personal struggle with the world. Brown described what gave him the courage to do it. “I just wanted to put out a positive message that I’m still here,” Brown said. “I’m still growing. I’m still learning. I’m blessed. I’ve got a lot of things to be grateful for and someone was there for me. So reach out to your loved ones and ask them how they’re doing and listen to them, you know, because it’s important.” The response to Brown’s video has been very positive. Brown said a lot of men reached out, telling him what he shared was powerful. He also sat down with several Titans teammates who talked about their own struggles, which Brown says they need to do more often. “You need to look out for one another,” Brown said. “I know we play this beautiful game, but you know, life is beautiful.” Classifieds MERCHANDISE Miscellaneous %HDXWLIXO *UDYH %ODQNHWV ������ :UHDWK V ��� XS� 6XH 5LFH 0RUQLQJ 6WDU 5G 5DFLQH ������������ Division III FIRST TEAM Chloe Lehman, Nelsonville-York; Lexi Grissett, Alexander; Kalei Ngumire, Fairland; Mollie Watts, Chesapeake; Kayleigh Murphy, Coal Grove; Gracie Damron, Coal Grove; Lyndsey Robinson, Federal Hocking; Jlynn Risner, Rock Hill.

When we include the milk and cheese served, Abraham’s “morsel” was a regular feast, thrown on the spot for some random strangers who he happened to see near his tent. That they were really angels was something he only discovered after the fact of feeding them and immaterial to his motivations and actions. Admittedly, Abraham was very, very wealthy. But the spirit of generosity which informed his gift of food and rest to travelers he had never met before is the same spirit God desires in all His children. He tells us, “Don’t neglect to show hospitality.” One fears that despite the clear instruction, we too frequently do forget and neglect this principle. As the holiday season rolls around, and as we give thought to how we can show love to those close to us, let us remember that God wants us to proactively show love to strangers as well. As Jesus said, “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:46-48; ESV)” This principle is not Amongst the virtues unique to the New commended to ChrisTestament.

By contrast, the term “deceitful bow” can certainly be associated with the people of the modern church. Time after time, congregations have to struggle with grinding disappointments instigated by those who have proven themselves to be spiritually unreliable. Much comes from revelations of immoral practices. Much is manifested from those exhibiting un-Christ-like character. Sometimes deliberate and sometimes inadvertent disappointments arise that hinder the persistent advancement of God’s Kingdom through the ministries of the church. In either case, recovery is slow and painful. Just think how churches could certainly be more influential for Jesus N “Deceitful bow” is one of those curious Bible references found in Hosea 7:16. God refers to the people of Israel as being like a “deceitful bow.” What was on God’s mind when He employed such a term to describe Israel? It was far from being a compliment, for sure. To apply perspective, consider the bow hunter who has hunted all season for that huge, twelvepoint buck that has effectively eluded him. On the last day of the season, as the sun starts to set, after several days of freezing in his stand, the buck appears and walks into easy shooting range. With a smile spreading across his lips, the hunter imagines the notoriety he will get by bagging the big boy. He confidently pulls the string with attached arrow to the shooting position. But, suddenly, something unexpectant happens — the bow cracks and snaps into two pieces! And, the buck dashes away with the hunter’s heart in tow.

The three are charged with the February 2020 slaying of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery. The defense rested its case Thursday. make a split-second “lifeor-death” decision by attacking him and grabbing his shotgun. Dunikoski noted Thursday that’s not what McMichael told police in an interview about two hours after the shooting occurred. “So you didn’t shoot him because he grabbed the barrel of your shotgun,” Dunikoski said. “You shot him because he came around that corner and you were right there and you just pulled the trigger immediately.” “No, I was struck,” McMichael replied. “We were face to face, I’m being struck and that’s when I shot.” McMichael said he had approached Arbery because neighbors indicated something had happened down the road and he wanted to ask Arbery about it. Arbery was running in the Brunswick neighborhood at the time. He said Arbery stopped, then took off running when McMichael told him police were on the way. Asked how many times he had previously pulled up behind strangers in the neighborhood to ask them what they were doing there, McMichael said never. “You know that no one has to talk to anyone they don’t want to talk to, right?” Dunikoski said. The prosecutor also pressed McMichael on why he didn’t include some details of his testimony Wednesday in his written statement to police, namely the part about his telling Arbery police were on the way. McMichael said he was “under stress, nervous, scared” at the time of his police interview and “probably being choppy.” “What were you nervous about?” Dunikoski asked. “I just killed a man,” McMichael responded. “I had blood on myself. It was the most traumatic event of my life.” “You were nervous because you thought you were going to jail, right?” Dunikoski asked. “No. I gave them a statement,” McMichael said. McMichael and his father, Greg McMichael, armed themselves and pursued Arbery in a pickup truck after he ran past their home from the house under construction. A neighbor, William “Roddie” Bryan, joined the chase in his own truck and recorded cellphone video. Arbery’s killing deepened a national outcry over racial injustice after the video of his death leaked online. Outside the Glynn County courthouse Thursday, hundreds of pastors gathered in response to a defense lawyer’s bid to keep Black ministers out of the courtroom. Divided House debates Dems’ expansive social, climate bill Associated Press WASHINGTON — A divided House finally launched debate Thursday on Democrats’ expansive social and environment bill, with party leaders hoping that cost estimates expected from Congress’ top fiscal analyst would nail down moderate lawmakers’ votes and allow passage by week’s end. Two weeks after centrists’ objections forced Democrats to delay the measure, the bill began moving amid optimistic signs from leaders and lawmakers that their divisions were all but resolved — for now. Facing uniform Republican opposition, Democrats can lose no more than three votes to prevail in the House. The package, a top priority for President Joe Biden, would bolster child care assistance, create free preschool, curb seniors’ prescription drug costs and beef up efforts to slow climate change. Biden and other Democratic leaders have said the 10-year, $1.85 trillion measure would pay for itself, largely through tax increases on the wealthy, big corporations and companies doing business abroad. A cost estimate on the bill, promised by Friday from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, was expected to show a modestly higher price tag and deficits of perhaps $200 billion over the coming decade. Early signs were that those differences were unlikely to derail the legislation, which exceeds 2,100 Pleasant Valley Hospital is pleased to welcome Matthew Werthammer, MD, of St. Mary’s Neurosurgery, to its medical VWDII�� 'U�� :HUWKDPQPHU� LV� D� KLJKO\� WUDLQHG�� ERDUG�FHUWLÀHG� neurosurgeon who specializes in complex procedures to help patients with a variety of brain and spine conditions.

Noting that savings would come from higher levies on the rich and corporations, he added, “It’s a helluva deal.” Republicans said the legislation would damage an economy already racked by inflation, give tax breaks to some wealthy taxpayers and make government bigger and more intrusive. Missouri Rep. Jason Smith, the Budget Committee’s top Republican, used alliteration from Biden’s name for the measure — Build Back Better — to mock it. “Bankrupts the economy. Benefits the wealthy. And it builds the Washington machine,” Smith said. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said she was hoping the chamber would vote on the measure later Thursday, reflecting Democratic plans to approve the measure before leaving for a weeklong holiday break. “This is going to be a wonderful Thanksgiving,” she said. The debate came with Democrats hoping to move toward delivering a badly needed victory for Biden. For months, the bill has been delayed by infighting between party moderates and progressives over the measure’s cost and the policies it should include. Biden this week signed a $1 trillion package of highway and other infrastructure projects, which he’s spent recent days promoting around the country. But he’s been battered recently by falling approval numbers in polls, reflecting voters’ concerns over inflation, supply chain delays and the persistent coronavirus pandemic. After months of talks, lawmakers appeared eager to wrap it up, shelving lingering differences to begin selling the package back home. House Democrats said they were planning 1,000 events across the country by year’s end to pitch the measure’s benefits to voters. Democrats have struggled to explain the far-reaching scope of the bill, with its health, child care and other provisions affecting millions of Americans. The internal battling has often overshadowed the actual bill, weighing down Democrats as they prepare for potentially difficult midterm elections next year. House passage of the social and environment bill would send it to the 50-50 Senate, where Democrats have zero votes to spare. Significant changes there are likely due to cost-cutting demands by moderate Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va. Senate talks could take weeks, and the prospect that Manchin or others will force additional cuts in the measure was making it easier for House moderates to back the legislation Thursday. The altered bill would have to return to the House before going to Biden’s desk. Even as lawmakers debated the legislation, Democrats were set to change it before the House votes to make sure it doesn’t run afoul of Senate rules. Democrats are using special rules that would let the bill pass the Senate by a simple majority, not the usual 60 votes, but such legislation must follow certain budget constraints.
