Today’s highlight in history: On August 5, 1962, South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela was arrested on charges of leaving the country without a passport and inciting workers to strike; it was the beginning of 27 years of imprisonment. On this date: In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Adm. David G. Farragut led his ﬂeet to victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama. In 1921, a baseball game was broadcast for the ﬁrst time as KDKA radio announcer Harold Arlin described the action between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Philadelphia Phillies from Forbes Field. (The Pirates won, 8-5.) In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the 200-meter dash at the Berlin Olympics, collecting the third of his four gold medals. In 1953, Operation Big Switch began as remaining prisoners taken during the Korean War were exchanged at Panmunjom. In 1954, 24 boxers became the ﬁrst inductees into the Boxing Hall of Fame, including Henry Armstrong, Gentleman Jim Corbett, Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Joe Louis and John L. Sullivan. In 1964, U.S. Navy pilot Everett Alvarez Jr. became the ﬁrst American ﬂier to be shot down and captured by North Vietnam; he was held prisoner until February 1973. In 1981, the federal government began ﬁring air trafﬁc controllers who had gone out on strike. In 1991, Democratic congressional leaders formally launched an investigation into whether the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign had secretly conspired with Iran to delay release of American hostages until after the presidential election, thereby preventing an “October surprise” that supposedly would have beneﬁted President Jimmy Carter. (A task force later concluded there was “no credible evidence” of such a deal.) In 2002, the coral-encrusted gun turret of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor was raised from the ﬂoor of the Atlantic, nearly 140 years after the historic warship sank during a storm. In 2010, the Senate conﬁrmed Elena Kagan, 63-37, as the Supreme Court’s 112th justice and the fourth woman in its history. Thirty-three workers were trapped in a copper mine in northern Chile after a tunnel caved in (all were rescued after being entombed for 69 days). In 2019, Toni Morrison, the ﬁrst Black woman to receive the Nobel literature prize, died at 88 in New York; her novels included “Beloved,” and “The Bluest Eye.” Ten years ago: Standard & Poor’s lowered the United States’ AAA credit rating by one notch to AA-plus. A federal jury convicted three New Orleans police ofﬁcers, a former ofﬁcer and a retired sergeant of civil rights violations in the 2005 shooting deaths of a teenager and a mentally disabled man crossing the Danziger Bridge following Hurricane Katrina. (The convictions were overturned because of prosecutorial misconduct, and the former ofﬁcers pleaded guilty in April 2016 to a reduced number of charges.) �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, August 5, 2021 3 Writers’ Guild takes humor in stride POINT PLEASANT — At a recent meeting, Patrecia Gray of the Point Pleasant Writers Guild opened with prayer. She then asked the members to list the things in their lives that were “serious/sad” and a second list having to do with “funny/happy” events. As it turned out, “serious/sad” memories were easier to remember than the “funny/happy” ones, which might indicate that most people are in need of more comedy to help balance their emotional scales. Kris Moore wrote a ﬁctious “Dear John” letter, saying she was breaking up with the guy, but assuring him that he would ﬁnd someone who could appreciate his being a noisy eater, slow driver, poor bowler, and in the habit of removing his glass eye in public. April Pyles read two poems, “The Misses O’Quinn Come of Age,” about two sisters who have very little in common, and have surprising outcomes when they become of age to marry, and “Housework” a subject that needs no introduction to anyone who keeps house … the dust and grime and unwanted guests with several sets of legs are a challenge to all of us, keeping us busy with our rags, and mops and spray cans in every room. Phil Heck shared “The Adventures of Cuzzin Charles,” a true story with humorous overtones. Will Jeffers wrote “Day on the Town” about a fella named Wilson who took out a girl named Billie, and true to Murphy’s Law, anything that could go wrong did go wrong. That included getting the car stuck in a sink hole, getting mud in his face when trying to push his car out of said hole, having it rain when they reached their destination, stepping in a puddle, getting electrocuted by an exposed wire on the crossing signal, getting hit by a taxi, and almost getting mugged. But, in spite of all his troubles, and after every disaster, Billie would just kiss him, laugh, and make him feel good as though everything were going well and nothing was going to spoil their date if she had anything to do about it. Unlucky, plague- attracting Wilson was actually a pretty lucky guy. Marilyn Clarke read her short story entitled “The Cupcake Cartel.” Her heroine had tried going to the gym ﬁrst thing in the morning to lose weight. She felt she was on a torture mill rather than a treadmill. It struck her that she could make and sell cupcakes to people leaving the gym, before they even got in their cars, so that’s what she did every morning. After doing a brisk business for a few days, one customer sidled up to her and asked under his breath how much would ﬁve bills get him. Cupcake Lady told him, “One for one, six for ﬁve.” “Five bills, huh?” “That’s right,” she replied. She took his money without looking at it and set out for home. Lo and behold, a police car pulled her over and took her to jail for questioning. Didn’t they look funny when they discovered the cupcakes were just that… no dope involved. Cupcake Lady looked at the money she had collected. Imagine her surprise when she found ﬁve $100 Trump-backed Carey, centrist Brown win Ohio US House races By Julie Carr Smyth He’ll take on Democratic state Rep.

Another funny thing she remembered was when her four-year-old daughter would tell people she met that she was in high school. Gray shared several pointers with the members on how to write about humor while using humor. Using words that have a “K” or a “G” sounds are just naturally funny. Have you ever noticed how a dog cocks its head when it hears certain words come out of your mouth? That’s funny in itself. Put char- acters in funny situations, as Will did with Wilson and Billie.

Nursing home to workers: Get vaccine or lose your job By Bernard Condon and Matt Sedensky Associated Press NEW YORK — The nation’s largest nursing home operator told its workers this week they will have to get COVID19 vaccinations to keep their jobs — a possible shift in an industry that has largely rejected compulsory measures for fear of triggering an employee exodus that could worsen already dangerous stafﬁng shortages. The new requirement at Genesis Healthcare, which has 70,000 employees at nearly 400 nursing homes and senior communities, is the clearest sign yet that such places may be willing to take that risk amid the surging delta variant and the fact that more than 40% of U.S. nursing home workers still have not gotten the shot. Some experts are calling for mandatory vaccinations at nursing homes, warning that unprotected staff members are endangering residents. Even residents who have been inoculated are vulnerable because many are elderly and frail, with weak immune systems. More than 1,250 nursing home residents across the U.S. were infected with COVID19 in the week ending July 25, double the number from the week earlier, and 202 died, according to federal data. “It’s so easy now to say, ‘Well, Genesis is doing it. Now we’ll do it,’” said Brian Lee, who leads Families for Better Care, an advocacy group for long-term care residents. “This is a big domino to fall.” Lawrence Gostin, a professor of health law at Georgetown University, said he likewise foresees a “snowball effect.” He said resisting vaccination mandates at this point is “unconscionable.” Some local governments are taking the decision out of the industry’s hands, with Massachusetts and Denver announcing mandatory vaccinations at nursing homes this week. The question has become more urgent as the highly contagious delta variant drives up new COVID-19 cases in the U.S. to about 90,000 a day on average — the most since midFebruary — and sends hospitalizations surging in states like Florida and Louisiana to the highest levels since the pandemic began. Despite the terrible toll taken by the disease at nursing homes, many of the nation’s 15,000 such institutions have rejected mandatory vaccinations for fear large numbers of workers will quit. Nearly a quarter of nursing homes are already short of nurses or nurse’s aides. But Associated Press interviews this past week with managers at 10 mostly smaller nursing home operations across the nation that are requiring vaccines found that the threat of workers quitting en masse over the shots may be overblown, with those numbers far lower than expected. After Canterbury Court in Atlanta announced a mandate in January, CEO Debi McNeil was so fearful of a “massive walkout” that she brought in medical experts to talk to workers, met with holdouts one-on-one and invited staff to gather in the community room for meetings that occasionally got heated. In the end, only 10 of 180 workers quit, and McNeil said Canterbury’s nursing home, independent living and assisted living facilities have reported no new COVID-19 cases since February. It's Time!!!

That ﬁve-set loss to Serbia in This marks the sixth time AP Sports Writer Frank Augstein | AP United States players celebrate winning the women’s volleyball quarterfinal match against the Dominican Republic at the 2020 Summer Olympics on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan. The U.S. won 25-11, 25-20, 25-19 to advance to a semifinal match against Serbia on Friday for a spot in the gold medal game. 2016 after star middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo Gunderson left following the ﬁrst set with a knee injury has served as fuel ever since and Kiraly’s crew is ready to try to avenge it. The U.S. came into the quarterﬁnals short-handed with starters Jordyn Poulter and Jordan Thompson both sidelined by right ankle injuries. But both players have surprised Kiraly with how quickly they are recovering and could have played in an emergency. “We knew that we had them available to play,” Kiraly said. “But we also knew if we could play without them, it’s nice to give them a couple of extra days to be conﬁdent in their ankle, to jump more at the net tomorrow in training and things like that.” Don’t expect starters in Cowboys-Steelers Hall of Fame game By Barry Wilner AP Pro Football Writer CANTON, Ohio (AP) — If you’re looking for stars during Hall of Fame enshrinement week, concentrate on the museum itself and the inductions this weekend. You won’t ﬁnd many, if any, stars playing Thursday night when the NFL preseason begins with Dallas playing Pittsburgh. Indeed, with the number of preseason games reduced from four to three, with the exception of the Cowboys and Steelers, the opportunity to see the big names on the ﬁeld will be diminished further. For Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, the Hall of Fame game carries importance as a trial for guys on the back end of the roster, and for backups at key positions. “The fact that we’re playing the four games this year, Week 1 and Week 4 will be huge games for the younger players. You’re looking at a good half of football,” says McCarthy, whose ﬁrst season with Dallas was a 6-10 ﬁasco marred by key injuries and indifferent performances. “To me, this is what the preseason has always been about. You’re able to get your starters and guys you have history with, you can get most of your work done in the practices. This is about the development of your roster, the competition of your roster. And what better way to let these guys compete than these preseason games.” So no, quarterback Dak Prescott — despite coming off a gruesome right ankle injury that shortened his 2020 campaign — won’t play. He is among 16 Dallas players staying at the training camp site in California, along with right guard Zack Martin, left tackle Tyron Smith, receiver Amari Cooper and defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. The competition for the backup QB job will be in full swing with Garrett Gilbert, Cooper Rush and Ben DiNucci expected to get time. As for the Steelers, who faded so badly after an 11-0 record last season, there’s plenty of alteration on offense. Sure, QB Ben Roethlisberger is back for his 18th season, but the line has been rebuilt and the scheme has been tweaked under new coordinator Matt Canada. Maybe some extra game work wouldn’t hurt. “It’s not all new verbiage and concepts,” coach Mike Tomlin says. “Matt’s done a really good, thoughtful job of easing the transition. Sure, there are some new things, and sure, there are some new words, but it’s really not a blank slate. Ben’s been on the job long enough where I don’t want to make that seem like something signiﬁcant. It’s an adjustment, but by the time we’re able to play, I doubt it’s going to be of any signiﬁcance.” Playing at the shrine McCarthy deeply appreciates the signiﬁcance of the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions. So he looks at participating in the game as an honor — particularly with both the 2020 and 2021 classes and a special centennial class being enshrined. “It’s the shrine of pro football, I think just everything around it,” he says. “I think being back in that part of the country this time of year, the grass smells a little differently there. I think it’s such a cool experience just to go back there.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, Aug. 5 Golf Gallia Academy boys at Circle K Inv. (Eaglesticks), 8 a.m. Gallia Academy girls at Circle K Inv.

Track records keep falling in fast Tokyo Games By Jim Vertuno AP Sports Writer TOKYO — The Tokyo Games keep producing some of the fastest moments the world has ever seen on the track. A day after the men’s 400-meter hurdles staged possibly one of the greatest races ever run, the women put on their own show as one of the Games’ most anticipated rivalries lived up to the hype. The United States’ Sydney McLaughlin smashed the world record and Dalilah Muhammad broke it as well in a sensational American 1-2 ﬁnish in the women’s 400 hurdles. “Iron sharpening iron,” McLaughlin said of her latest showdown with Muhammad. “Every time we step on the track, it’s always something fast.” This race sat on the razor’s edge for sure. McLaughlin came from behind after the last hurdle to claim the gold in 51.46 seconds, quicker than the 51.90 mark she set at the Olympic trials when she was the ﬁrst woman to run under 52. Muhammad’s time of 51.58 also would have been a world record. In this race, however, it was only good enough for second. Expect these two to set more records between now and Paris in 2024. McLaughlin, 21, and Muhammad, 31, have been trading the record for two years. Muhammad won the race in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. McLaughlin made the U.S. team but didn’t make the ﬁnal that year. “I made the mistake in 2016 of letting the atmosphere get to me,” McLaughlin said. “Just being able to put the pieces together, I am really grateful.” In other action on the track at Olympic Stadium, Canada’s Andre de Grasse won the 200meter race ﬁve years after ﬁnishing second to Usain Bolt. De Grasse won in a national record time of 19.62 seconds, holding off two Americans for the medals. Kenneth Bednarek won silver in a personal best 19.68 seconds and 2019 world champion Noah Lyles took bronze in 19.74. Erriyon Knighton, the youngest member of the U.S. men’s track team at 17, placed fourth in 19.93. Kenya’s Emmanuel Korir won gold in the 800 meters to stretch his country’s dominance in the event to four consecutive Olympics. On the basketball court, the U.S. women advanced to the semiﬁnal round with a 79-55 win over Australia behind a 23-point effort from Breanna Stewart. The Americans are now just one win away from playing in their seventh consecutive gold medal game. They will face Serbia on Friday. The Serbians, who won the bronze medal in 2016, beat China 77-70. The U.S. has won six consecutive gold medals, and 53 consecutive games in Olympic tournaments since 1992. The Americans put on their best game of the tournament from a roster that didn’t get together until about three weeks before the Games. “It’s do or die at this point,” Sue Bird said. “That helps.” Baseball Triston Casas hit his third home run of the Olympics, and the U.S stayed in gold medal contention with a 3-1 win over the Dominican Republic. Tyler Austin, a former major leaguer in his home ballpark of the Central League’s Yokohama Bay Stars, added a solo home run in the ﬁfth, his second long ball of the tournament. The U.S. plays on Thursday night against South Korea, which lost to Japan 5-2, for a berth in this weekend’s gold medal game. Spiking it The U.S. women’s volleyball team advanced to the semiﬁnals for the sixth time in the past eight Olympics by beating the Dominican Republic in straight sets. The Americans advanced to a matchup against Serbia in the semiﬁnals. The U.S. is seeking its ﬁrst gold medal in the sport after winning bronze in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro and silver in 2008 and 2012. Warm swim Ana Marcela Cunha of Brazil won the women’s 10-kilometer marathon swimming event in the warm waters of Tokyo Bay. The air temperature during the latter stages of the race was 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 Celsius), with 74% humidity that made it feel like 95 degrees (35 C). The water temperature was about 84 degrees (29 C), just under the allowable limit of 88 degrees (31 degrees C). Cycling record Italy broke its own world record to win the gold medal in men’s team pursuit cycling. The team of Simone Consonni, Filippo Ganna, Francesco Lamon and Jonathan Milan wiped out a deﬁcit of nearly half a second over the ﬁnal ﬁve laps to beat Denmark and ﬁnish in 3:42.032. Artist in the water Russia’s Svetlana Romashina claimed her record sixth Olympic gold medal in artistic swimming, teaming with Svetlana Kolesnichenko to win the duet. The Russians were heavy favorites in a sport they have dominated for more than two decades. Their last Olympic loss in the sport formerly known as synchronized swimming came at the 1996 Atlanta Games. �CLASSIFIEDS 6 Thursday, August 5, 2021 (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN ANNOUNCEMENTS Wanted (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN EMPLOYMENT Help Wanted General /DQG SDUFHO �� DFUHV ZDQWHG ZLWK DFFHVV WR UXUDO FRXQW\ ZDWHU FDOO &KULV �� HVAC Company in Gallia County /RRNLQJ IRU KDUG ZRUNHU ZLWK H[SHULHQFH RU ZLOO WUDLQ ULJKW SHUVRQ� :LOO SD\ JRRG IRU NQRZOHGJH� ,I LQWHUHVWHG FDOO �� LI QR DQVZHU OHDYH QDPH DQG QXPEHU we will call you back.

Ohio State’s rule, made public Monday, follows updated guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that people who are fully vaccinated should resume wearing masks indoors if they live in areas where the virus is surging. President Kristina M. John- son sent an email with the new guidance to the Ohio State community Monday afternoon, saying it came into effect immediately, the Columbus Dispatch reported. “Throughout the pandemic, Ohio State has adapted its actions based on new information and expertise from local, state and federal health ofﬁcials as well as our own medical and public health experts,” Johnson said. The University of Cincinnati announced its universal indoor mask mandate Tuesday, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The city of Dayton has announced its own mask mandate inside city buildings, as has the Ohio Supreme Court for its downtown Columbus building. Last month, Cleveland State University said it would require all students living on-campus to be vaccinated. The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Ohio has risen over the past two weeks from 468 new cases per day on July 18 to almost 1,200 new cases per day on Aug. 1, according to data collected by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering. Students and others attend- ing the outdoor commencement ceremony at Ohio Stadium on Saturday will not be required to wear masks there, University spokesperson Ben Johnson told the newspaper. Participants in the graduation ceremony at the Schottenstein Center on Sunday will need to wear a mask. Ohio hospitals should independently adopt policies requiring coronavirus vaccinations for employees and staff, with local conditions determining whether and how such mandates are implemented, according to a recommendation by the Ohio Hospital Association trustee board. “Hospital employee and staff vaccination against COVID-19 will help ensure the long-term ability of our health care system to respond to the pandemic and the continuation of vital health care services,” OHA president Mike Abrams said in a Tuesday statement. Also Tuesday, the Dispatch reported that central Ohio’s four major hospital systems, including Ohio State medical center and Nationwide Children’s Hospital, will require that all employees receive the coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year.

District attorneys in Manhattan, suburban Westchester and Nassau counties and the state capital of Albany said they asked for investigative materials from the inquiry, overseen by Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James. James’ investigation found that Cuomo had violated civil laws against sexual harassment. Making no conclusions about whether he should be criminally charged, investigators left the door open for local prosecutors to bring cases. “We are reviewing the deeply disturbing ﬁndings,” said Joyce A. Smith, the acting district attorney in Long Island’s Nassau County. She pledged her ofﬁce would “thoroughly and expeditiously investigate any potential crimes” that happened there. After James released her report Tuesday, Democrats from the statehouse to the White House called for Cuomo to go, with President Joe Biden saying the governor should resign. But he showed no signs of heeding them, saying that some episodes described in the report never happened, others were misconstrued or mischaracterized and the whole exercise was tainted. “Politics and bias are interwoven throughout every aspect of this situation,” he said in a recorded video response. Assembly Democrats, who lead the chamber, debated virtually for hours Tuesday about whether to impeach the governor now, wait to see whether he resigns, or give the Assembly Judiciary Committee time to wrap up its wide-ranging investigation into topics from sexual misconduct to the Cuomo administration’s monthslong obfuscation of the total number of nursing home residents who died from COVID-19. At least 40 of the Assembly members who say they are ready to start impeachment proceedings are Democrats.

The second dam was about 30 miles in, so what ﬁts on the canoe, I wasn’t going to make that before dark. As I was paddling up, I just have a couple of new apps on my phone and one of them gave me a warning – ﬂash ﬂood warning. And then right at dark came the second warning which was extreme lightning storm.” Moore said he could see the storm moving in from the Ohio area into Kentucky and knew he needed to get to the highest ground. “I found a spot that was just ridiculously high after dark. It was sandy. It’s a really muddy river, just beautiful – wild and natural and muddy,” Moore said. “So, I sort of, climbed up to this ledge with the sand up there and it was so high up. I grabbed all my stuff; I could see the storm coming but it was a dry lightning storm to start with.” After a quick debate on taking his canoe up the hill, Moore decided it was best not to leave it. Carrying all his possessions and the canoe to high ground, he was able to make camp and rest. “I slept like a baby,” Moore said. “The next morning when I woke up, I opened the front [tent] and the water was right there. It had come up about 10 feet.” After speaking with one of the dam operators, Moore learned about more expected ﬂooding and headed back to the Ohio, but not before meeting some locals. “As I was starting the portage of that last dam before the Ohio these two local guys, they looked like ﬁsherman,” Moore said. “They were whooping and hollering up on the hill, and then highﬁving each other.” The men thought Moore had found their lost canoe. “These are local guys who know the area, they had been on the river camping just below where I was, they lost their canoe, they lost all their gear. They had a spot device and they hit SOS, so they were rescued by emergency services.” This is Moore’s second attempt at the journey. During the ﬁrst one, his canoe ﬂipped in rapid, frigid waters after turning and being blocked by two large, downed trees. “The natural environment, she can be beautiful, but she can be wicked at the same time,” Moore said. Moore has a marine radio to communicate with towboats and said his job is to stay out of their way. He also must stay aware of all obstacles – logs, debris, trash, etc. – that could be in the way. If completed, Moore will be the ﬁrst to complete this adventure. “It’s been done from east coast to west coast, speciﬁcally in a canoe, solo and continuous. It has not been done from west coast to east coast,” Moore said. Moore said his journey along the rivers and rivertowns, many the ﬁrst towns, connects the then and now. “What I’m trying to do is to see how the rivers and waterways connect across the country, but also to look for and document how we as a people connect… looking for the threads of our common humanity and what it means to be an American,” Moore said. “By the time I get to the beacon hand of the Statue of Liberty I will, in my mind, earned that view from the American side, from the American experience to see where a lot of us had started off back in the day.” Americans know what divides, Moore said he wanted to highlight what brings them together. “I think a truism with humanity anywhere in the world you are, when times are tough, this is when we as a people roll up our sleeves and this is when we look out for each other. Families come together and communities can come together as well,” Moore said. When needed waterways are closed Moore walks, pulling his canoe on wheels. He recently learned he will need to do this for the last 135 miles before reaching Syracuse, New York. Moore plans to circle Liberty Island in December. He set off from Point Pleasant’s Riverfront Park to continue his journey Tuesday morning with one goal. “From sea to shining sea to really see and experience and highlight and underscore the positive of where we’ve got ourselves off to and what has come of us as Americans,” Moore said. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Woodall had an estimate for the purchase and installation of 96 feet of 6 foot vinyl fence at a cost of $5,250. The Mayor asked council to think about this as it would greatly improve the looks of the area. Baker stated that Chief Wood had accumulated the maximum vacation time and asked permission to use the 16 hours that he would be losing over the next two months. Council agreed to this so that he would not lose the time. Baker also stated that a vendor had made them a good deal on a new copier that would be about $20 less per month. The old copier could possibly be put up for sale. Council agreed to the plan presented by Baker. Woodall stated that he was preparing to submit the portion of the water project that was cut from the original application to Eugene Triplett, the county engineer, for consideration in the new round of funding made available by Ohio through the American Rescue Act. He felt this would have a good possibility of being funded since it was already designed and ready to go. Conde inquired about the K-9 program and how it was going. Hoffman stated that he had not talked to Chief Wood about it since he returned from vacation. Conde also stated that some bushes at Vine Street and Lynn Street were blocking the view of people coming onto Vine Street. Hoffman said he would have Joe Powell take care of this.
