COVID Care Baskets available

MEIGS COUNTY —
In times of uncertainty,
the Meigs County Health
Department is working
with partner agencies
and organizations to distribute baskets of needed
supplies.
The health department recently received
a $35,000 with which
to provide care resource
coordination and support
for low-income individu-

als and families living
withing the counties who
face social and economic
instability related to
COVID-19 testing and
diagnosis, including isolation and quarantine.
With the funding,
the health department
purchased items to ﬁll
COVID-19 Care Packs
which were assembled
on Monday by health
department staff, with
the assistance of Meigs
County Department of
Job and Family Services

staff. The Care Packs
were then distributed to
eight locations around
the county to be distributed to local families.
Each basket includes
25 different cleaning and
hygiene items, including
shampoo, toilet paper,
soap, paper towels, wash
clothes and much more.
A total of 400 baskets
were assembled.
The baskets are put
together with the idea
of meeting the needs of
individuals and families

during the COVID-19
pandemic, including if
they were to need to
quarantine for a period
of time.
Guidelines to receive
the basket include
any of the following
individuals/families

School plans unique Veterans Day Parade
‘Donuts drive thru’

MIDDLEPORT —
Though the COVID-19
pandemic has changed
many things, it has not
canceled everything.
Take for example, the
observance of Veterans Day at Meigs Primary and Intermediate
schools. Typically, the
students are treated to a
program about the holiday and what it means to
be a veteran, from members of the American
Legion Feeney Bennett
Post 128.
Due to COVID-19, that

event cannot happen
in person, though post
members are ﬁlming
the program they had
planned and it will be
played for students.

However, prior to the
program being viewed by
students, veterans will
gather at the school on
Veterans Day (Wednesday, Nov. 11) for a drive-

thru parade. Lineup is at
9:45 a.m. and the parade
begins at 10 a.m.
The parade of veterans
will circle the building
and they will be cheered
on by local students who
will be holding homemade signs with each
child having an American Flag purchased by
the school. Following
the parade, each veteran
will be presented with
a free box of Krispy
Kreme donuts and cards
from the students in
appreciation of their
service.
The donuts are being
supplied thanks to a

COVID-19 and those struggling with addiction
Addressing behavioral,
mental health challenges
By Dean Wright
Special to OVP

OHIO VALLEY — As organizations across Ohio have reported
trends in overdoses going up in
part due to COVID-19 troubles
and other behavioral health concerns, the Gallia-Jackson Meigs
Alcohol, Drug Addiction and
Mental Health Board has been
working to put in place measures
to address the unique challenges
facing area residents.
“Information can be slow to get
to us, especially with overdoses
because of what it takes to verify

state for the project.

them with testing,” said Board
Executive Director Robin Harris.
“Some are documented as overdoses and some as cardiac arrest
or other things. I am always hesitant to throw out solid numbers
because I don’t feel like we ever
really have them. That said, we’ve
been bracing ourselves since the
beginning of this pandemic.
“We’ve been preparing ourselves

for what we felt would be an inevitable increase in people relapsing
in substance use, overdosing and
mental health issues,” said Harris. “The isolation, the fear and
fatigue, we’re all tired of this. Our
lives feel like they’ve been turned
upside down. It’s wearing people
in a number of ways.”
Harris said one of the measures
the board had taken to assist others facing behavioral and mental
health challenges was to take its
crisis phone line and put certiﬁed
counselors in touch with callers
immediately. Previously, individuals calling the line spoke with a
representative who would then
take the caller’s information to

Section 307.981 of the Ohio Revised Code authorizes the
Board of Commissioners of Gallia County, (Commissioners),
to designate any private or government entity within the State
of Ohio to serve as a public children services agency.
For many years, the Gallia County Children Services Boards
(CSB) was designated that responsibility. CSB Resolution
#2020-02 dated April 20, 2020 stated the CSB's intent to
dissolve and relinquish said designation requiring the
Commissioners to designate a new agency to serve as a
public children services agency. After careful consideration,
on August 20, 2020, the Commissioners approved, by resolution, to designated Gallia County Department of Job and
Family Services to serve as the public children services
agency effective December 1, 2020.

Rutgers is next
for hot-starting
Fields, Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In Ohio State’s
ﬁrst play from scrimmage against Penn State, slot
receiver Garrett Wilson took a handoff, cut around
the wide open left end and romped 62 yards to set
up the Buckeyes’ ﬁrst score.
A big play and another hot start for No. 3 Ohio
State (2-0, 2-0 Big Ten), which released its pentup demand for scoring after having the Big Ten
season delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. After
rolling over Nebraska 52-17 in the opener, the
Buckeyes piled up 526 yards of offense in taking
down then-No. 18 Penn State 38-25 on Halloween.
Rutgers (1-1, 1-1) is next to try to slow down
quarterback Justin Fields and Ohio State. A batch
of transfers have bolstered the Scarlet Knights in
coach Greg Schiano’s second stint running the
program, but they’ll still come into a nearly empty
Ohio Stadium for Saturday night’s game as ﬁvetouchdown underdogs.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day did his best to tamp
down expectations, noting there were many mistakes last week that need to be cleaned up — an
errant shotgun snap, two missed chip-shot ﬁeld
goals, and nine penalties that cost the Buckeyes 80
yards.
“We’re not there. We’re not close,” he said.
Behind quarterback Noah Vedral, a graduate
transfer from Nebraska, Rutgers shocked Michigan
State 38-27 in the season opener. Last week he
threw two touchdowns passes but also had three
picked off, leading to 17 points for Indiana in the
Scarlet Knights’ 37-21 loss.

White comes home
Rutgers senior safety Brendon White grew up
outside Columbus and played at Ohio State from
2017-19. He was defensive player of the game
in the 2019 Rose Bowl win, but his playing time
dwindled the following season under Day’s new
staff and he went the transfer route.
Ending up at Rutgers wasn’t a surprise. He got
along well with Schiano, who was the Buckeyes’
defensive coordinator during part of the player’s
time in Columbus.
Two games into his Scarlet Knights career,
White is third on the team with 17 tackles. He had
an interception and a fumble recovery in the win
over Michigan State.
“I’m just glad to be able to play in the Horseshoe
one more time, to be able to play in my home state
and hopefully have some family come and watch,”
he said.
Heisman hype
With Clemson quarterback Tyler Lawrence sidelined by the coronavirus, Fields has a chance to
make some noise in the Heisman race.
After going to New York as a ﬁnalist last year,
Fields is playing like he wants to be there again.
He was 28 for 34 for 318 yards and four touchdowns last week after a nearly ﬂawless performance the week before in the opener (20 for 21,
276 yards, two TDs.)
Ready for prime time
Schiano — who was 68-67 with Rutgers from
2001-11 — said playing in a Saturday night TV
game is a big deal as he works to build a winning
culture and respectable program again.
“It’s in prime time, and in talking to the people

Steelers visit as
Cowboys keep
turning QB wheel
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger goes into Pittsburgh’s game against longtime rival Dallas with nearly 7,500 career passes
in the regular season.
The two choices to start for the Cowboys don’t
have 10 between them.
Put that high on the list of reasons Dallas is
the biggest underdog it has been at home in 31
years with the undefeated Steelers visiting Sunday.
“You have to keep forging forward because
there is always a path to victory,” Cowboys coach
Mike McCarthy said. “I understand what our
record is. We had some areas of improvement in
our last game. We need to build off of that.”
The Cowboys (2-6) will start their fourth quarterback of the season after star Dak Prescott’s
season ended with a broken ankle and Andy Dalton went from one protocol to another — concussion to COVID-19.
Regardless of McCarthy’s choice, it will be the
ﬁrst career start for Garrett Gilbert or Cooper
Rush, just as it was for rookie Ben DiNucci last
week after Dalton’s concussion.
DiNucci was so overmatched in a 23-9 loss to
the Eagles, McCarthy decided the experience
of just being in the league for Gilbert and Rush
was a better bet against a nearly two-touchdown
favorite than giving DiNucci another shot.
Drafted in 2014, Gilbert has thrown just six
passes while bouncing around — and sometimes out — of the league. Rush had three pass
attempts in three seasons as Prescott’s backup
before he was waived in the offseason after the
Cowboys signed Dalton, who started for nine
years in Cincinnati.
Gilbert was signed off Cleveland’s practice
squad after Prescott’s gruesome injury, and Rush
rejoined after Dalton went down two weeks
ago against Washington. Rush was let go by the
Giants in September.
“Obviously this is an awesome opportunity,”
said Gilbert, the former Texas quarterback
whose college career ended nearby at SMU.
“You’d love for it to be under different circumstances. Obviously hoping Andy gets back as
soon as possible and gets well soon, but I’m
excited about it.
“I think Cooper’s in the same boat. Whoever’s
name is called Sunday, we’re both going to be
excited about the opportunity. We’re getting
ready to win a game, so the two of us are preparing the best we can together.”
Roethlisberger, who missed all but two games
last year because of elbow surgery, has a proud
franchise on the verge of a club-record eighth
straight win to start the season. The only other
time the Steelers were 7-0, they won the third
Super Bowl title to ﬁnish the 1978 season — the
second of two championship victories over the
Cowboys in the 1970s.
Pittsburgh is wrapping up three straight road
games with the ﬁrst of three in a row against
teams with a combined 5-17-1 record (Cincinnati
and Jacksonville are next). The previous three
opponents had one or no losses after Week 6
(Cleveland, Tennessee and Baltimore). The last
team to run such a gauntlet was Super Bowlwinning New England in 2004.
“The last two weeks have been just draining games,” Roethlisberger said. “We might be
drained during the week and whatnot, so this is
one of those weeks where you mentally focus on
the preparation in terms of the meeting time and
things like that. When Sunday comes, you can be
as tired as you want during the week, you have
to dial it in and get ready to go.”

1 final on Thursday in Point Pleasant, W.Va.

Lady Knights win sectional crown
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POINT PLEASANT,
W.Va. — No waiting
around for a second one.
The Point Pleasant
volleyball team — which
claimed the program’s
ﬁrst-ever sectional title
just one year ago —
repeated the feat on
Thursday inside its home
gymnasium, as the topseeded Lady Knights
defeated second-seeded
guest Winﬁeld by a 3-1
tally in the Class AA
Region IV, Section 1
championship match.
Point Pleasant (12-9)
was down 6-0 at the start
of the opening game, but
fought back, tying it up
three times before ﬁnally
taking its ﬁrst lead at
23-22. The Lady Knights
didn’t trail again in the
opener, winning 25-23.
The hosts took the
lead at 4-3 in Game 2 and
didn’t trail again, ﬁghting
through six ties on their
way to the 25-21 win.
PPHS scored the ﬁrst
ﬁve points of the third
set, and was up 9-6 when
Winﬁeld (18-8) went on
an 18-to-4 run for a 25-13
victory, forcing a fourth
game.
After a pair of early
lead changes in the
fourth, Point Pleasant
stretched its lead to four
points, at 15-11, and
again at 16-12. The Lady
Generals regained the
edge with a 6-0 spurt,
but the Lady Knights
rallied back and claimed
the lead for good at
22-21. Winﬁeld fought
off match-point once,
but ultimately fell 25-22,

ending the Lady Generals’ nine-match winning
streak.
Following the match,
sixth-year PPHS head
coach Marla Cottrill talked about her approach
to the tournament, and
noted some of the challenges her team has
battled through on the
way to a second straight
sectional title.
“I tell the girls every
year that it’s practice
until sectionals,” Coach
Cottrill said. “In volleyball it doesn’t matter
what your record is, who
you beat, or who you
lost to, we actually lost
to Winﬁeld earlier in
the season. This season
is full of challenges, but
they’ve stepped up and
done the job when it’s
needed to be done, and
that’s the most important

part.
“We came into this
season without a setter,
Olivia (Dotson) graduated last year and went
to Glenville. Baylie Rickard had never set before,
she stepped up, and she
has gotten better as the
season’s gone. Tristan
Wilson, she’s a beast, and
Addy Cottrill stepped
up this game and did
what she had to do, all
the girls did, they moved
very well.”
Katelynn Smith led the
Lady Knights’ service
with 12 points, including six aces. Kianna
Smith was next 11 points
and an ace, followed
by Brooke Warner with
10 points and a pair of
aces. Rickard collected
ﬁve points and two aces,
Addy Cottrill claimed
three points, while Wil-

son ended with two service points in the win.
Leading Point Pleasant
at the net, Wilson had
17 kills and two blocks,
while Cottrill picked up
15 kills and three blocks.
Rickard ﬁnished with
two kills, one block and
a team-best 30 assists for
PPHS. Kianna Smith had
a kill and a block for the
victors, Warner added a
kill, while Kierra Smith
came up with a block.
Leading Winﬁeld,
Erin Signorelli and Mya
Williams had 11 service
points apiece. Jordan
Signorelli was next with
10 points, followed by Jillian Fluharty with eight,
Stella Kincaid with four,
and Alexee Powell with
three.
Point Pleasant now
moves on to the regional
round for the third time
in ﬁve seasons — also
winning last season’s
sectional by a 3-1 count
against the Lady Generals, while advancing as
sectional runner-up in
2016.
The Lady Knights
enter the Region IV
championship semiﬁnals
as the top seed in the
Section 1 draw — meaning they will face the
Section 2 runner-up in
the opening round of the
single elimination tournament.
The Region IV tournament will be held at
Winﬁeld High School on
Saturday at 6 p.m.

Buzz surrounds Burrow during bye week
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — It’s
all about Joe.
Coach Zac Taylor says rookie
quarterback Joe Burrow was the
one piece the Cincinnati Bengals
needed to get the other pieces of
an already good offense to coalesce
and play at a higher level.
Taylor’s framing of the narrative
is meant to recognize some of the
guys who slogged through a 2-14
season with him last year, while
acknowledging that the linchpin is
the 23-year-old newcomer whose
dynamic play has brought some
excitement back to a franchise that
was stuck in the mud.
The 2019 Heisman Trophy winner has made the Bengals interesting to watch again, and arguably
better than their 2-5-1 record
reﬂects. At the halfway point of the
season, Burrow’s development has
exceeded expectations in Cincinnati and validated the organization’s decision to make him the
No. 1 overall draft pick last spring.
He’s already being talked about as
a candidate for Offensive Rookie of
the Year.
Burrow certainly has made his
share of drive-killing rookie mistakes, but he’s also demonstrated
the poise and creativity of a seasoned NFL quarterback. The prevailing opinion is that if he stays
healthy, he can be the guy here for

the long haul.
“I wouldn’t say it’s gone smoother than I thought — I thought I’d
play well,” Burrow said Wednesday. “There’s obviously still a lot of
room to improve. I’m just scratching the surface on where I can be
and where I can go. So, that’s the
most exciting thing for me.”
Burrow leads the league in passing attempts (330) and completions (221), and is third in passing
yards (2,272). He’s also been
sacked 28 times — second most in
the NFL — but has proven to be a
quick study when it comes to working around the nagging deﬁciencies in Cincinnati’s pass protection.
Last week behind an offensive
line patched together with backups, Burrow adapted. He got rid
of the ball extra quickly, chipping
away with intermediate passes. He
extended plays with his legs, took
zero sacks and had no turnovers
in the Bengals’ 31-20 win over the
Tennessee Titans.
The victory gave the whole
team a much-needed shot of conﬁdence ahead of a bye week, which
couldn’t have come at a better time
for the beat-up O-line regulars.
The Bengals get back at it Nov. 15
in Pittsburgh against the Steelers
(7-0).
That the Bengals don’t have
much to show for Burrow’s gutsy

performances is due largely to their
failure to protect leads. Four of
their ﬁve losses have been by ﬁve
points or less and easily could have
gone the other way.
Tyler Boyd (54 catches, 584
yards, three TDs) has been Burrow’s favorite target, but in each
of the two games before the break
the quarterback completed passes
to seven players. Said Taylor: “He
knows where to go with the ball.”
“I think that for a rookie he’s
done a tremendous job of his
approach and how he’s handled
things,” Taylor said. “Never
appearing to be overwhelmed.
Never appearing to be ﬂustered.
He’s been as steady as they come.”
Burrow’s dad, a retired college football coach, said his son’s
matter-of-fact conﬁdence was
developed through an obsessive
commitment to preparation and
winning at every level, including a
national championship at LSU in
2019.
“He was always a quarterback,
so you had to show conﬁdence
and you had to be a leader,” said
Jimmy Burrow, who spent 14
years as defensive coordinator for
Frank Solich at Ohio University.
“And that really started in the
third grade. So that’s a long time
to develop your quarterback/football player personality.”

Biden on cusp of presidency
By Jonathan Lemire,
Zeke Miller, Jill Colvin
and Will Weissert
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Democrat Joe Biden was
on the cusp of winning
the presidency on Friday
as he opened up narrow
leads over President Donald Trump in the critical
battlegrounds of Georgia
and Pennsylvania.
Those put Biden in
a stronger position to
capture the 270 Electoral
College votes needed to
take the White House.
The winner will lead a
country facing a historic
set of challenges, including
a surging pandemic and
deep political polarization.
The focus on Pennsylvania, where Biden led
Trump by more than 9,000
votes, and Georgia, where
Biden led by more than
1,500, came as Americans
entered a third full day
after the election without
knowing who will lead
them for the next four
years. The prolonged process added to the anxiety
of a nation whose racial
and cultural divides were
inﬂamed during the heated campaign.
Biden was at his home
in Wilmington, Delaware, as the vote count
continued and aides
said he would address
the nation in primetime.
Trump remained in the
White House residence as
more results trickled in,
expanding Biden’s lead in
must-win Pennsylvania.

held a morning conference
call projecting conﬁdence
and held a ﬂurry of hastily
arranged press conferences
announcing litigation in
key states.
With his pathway to
reelection appearing to
greatly narrow, Trump was
testing how far he could
go in using the trappings
of presidential power to
undermine conﬁdence in
the vote.
On Thursday, he
advanced unsupported
accusations of voter fraud
to falsely argue that his
rival was trying to seize
power in an extraordinary
effort by a sitting American president to sow
doubt about the democratic process.
“This is a case when
they are trying to steal an
election, they are trying
to rig an election,” Trump
said from the podium of
the White House brieﬁng
room.
The president pledged
on Friday, in a statement,
to pursue challenges
“through every aspect
of the law” but also suggested that his ﬁght was
“no longer about any
single election.” Biden
spent Thursday trying to
ease tensions and project
a more traditional image

of presidential leadership.
After participating in a
coronavirus brieﬁng, he
declared that “each ballot
must be counted.”
“I ask everyone to stay
calm. The process is
working,” Biden said. “It
is the will of the voters.
No one, not anyone else
who chooses the president of the United States
of America.”
Trump showed no sign
of giving up and was was
back on Twitter around
2:30 a.m. Friday, insisting
the “U.S. Supreme Court
should decide!”
Trump’s erroneous
claims about the integrity of the election challenged Republicans now
faced with the choice of
whether to break with a
president who, though
his grip on his ofﬁce grew
tenuous, commanded
sky-high approval ratings
from rank-and-ﬁle members of the GOP. That was
especially true for those
who are eyeing presidential runs of their own in
2024.
Maryland GOP Gov.
Larry Hogan, a potential presidential hopeful
who has often criticized
Trump, said unequivocally: “There is no defense
for the President’s com-

ments tonight undermining our Democratic process. America is counting
the votes, and we must
respect the results as we
always have before.”
But others who are
rumored to be considering a White House run of
their own in four years
aligned themselves with
the incumbent, including
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.,
who tweeted support for
Trump’s claims, writing
that “If last 24 hours have
made anything clear, it’s
that we need new election
integrity laws NOW.”
Trump’s campaign
engaged in a ﬂurry of
legal activity, saying it
would seek a recount in
Wisconsin and had ﬁled
lawsuits in Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Georgia.
But judges in the three
states quickly swatted
down legal action. A
federal judge who was
asked to stop vote counts
in Philadelphia instead
forced the two sides
to reach an agreement
without an order over
the number of observers
allowed.
“Really, can’t we be
responsible adults here
and reach an agreement?” an exasperated
U.S. District Judge Paul
S. Diamond said during
an emergency hearing
Thursday evening. “The
whole thing could (soon)
be moot.”
In Pennsylvania, ofﬁcials had not been allowed
to process mail-in ballots
until Election Day under
state law, and those votes
went heavily in Biden’s
favor.
Mail ballots from across
the state were overwhelmingly breaking in Biden’s
direction. A ﬁnal vote
total may not be clear for
days because the use of
mail-in ballots, which take
more time to process, has
surged as a result of the
coronavirus pandemic.

In Pennsylvania, meanwhile, the
Trump campaign won an appellate
ruling to get party and campaign
observers closer to election workers
who are processing mail-in ballots in
Philadelphia.
But the order did not affect the
counting of ballots that is proceeding in Pennsylvania and elsewhere,
as elections ofﬁcials are dealing
with an avalanche of mail-in ballots
driven by fears of voting in person
during a pandemic.
Trump campaign ofﬁcials joined
the president in accusing Democrats of trying to steal the election,
despite no evidence anything of the
sort was taking place.
Trump campaign manager Bill
Stepien, in a call with reporters
Thursday morning, said that “every
night the president goes to bed with
a lead” and every night new votes
“are mysteriously found in a sack.”
It is quite common in presidential
elections to have vote counting continue after election day.
Trump’s campaign has also
announced that it will ask for a
recount in Wisconsin. Stepien previously cited “irregularities in several
Wisconsin counties,” without providing speciﬁcs.
The Trump campaign ﬁled a new
federal lawsuit after hours Thursday
in Nevada, alleging that ineligible
votes were cast in the Las Vegas
area, the biggest Democratic stronghold in an otherwise predominantly
GOP state.
The Associated Press called Wisconsin and Michigan for Biden on
Wednesday. The AP has not called
