There are 134 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history On August 19, 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler. On this date In 1807, Robert Fulton’s North River Steamboat arrived in Albany, two days after leaving New York. In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812, earning the nickname “Old Ironsides.” In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces landed at Benedict, Maryland, with the objective of capturing Washington D.C. In 1848, the New York Herald reported the discovery of gold in California. In 1909, the ﬁrst automobile races were run at the just-opened Indianapolis Motor Speedway; the winner of the ﬁrst event was auto engineer Louis Schwitzer, who drove a Stoddard-Dayton touring car twice around the 2.5-mile track at an average speed of 57.4 mph. In 1942, during World War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers launched a disastrous raid against the Germans at Dieppe, France, suffering more than 50-percent casualties. In 1955, torrential rains caused by Hurricane Diane resulted in severe ﬂooding in the northeastern U.S., claiming some 200 lives. In 1960, a tribunal in Moscow convicted American U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers of espionage. (Although sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment, Powers was returned to the United States in 1962 as part of a prisoner exchange.) In 1974, U.S. Ambassador Rodger P. Davies was fatally wounded by a bullet that penetrated the American embassy in Nicosia, Cyprus, during a protest by Greek Cypriots. In 1980, 301 people aboard a Saudi Arabian L-1011 died as the jetliner made a ﬁery emergency return to the Riyadh airport. In 1991, rioting erupted in the Brooklyn, New York, Crown Heights neighborhood after a Black 7-year-old, Gavin Cato, was struck and killed by a Jewish driver from the ultra-Orthodox Lubavitch community; three hours later, a mob of Black youth fatally stabbed Yankel Rosenbaum, a rabbinical student. In 2010, the last American combat brigade exited Iraq, seven years and ﬁve months after the U.S.-led invasion began. Ten years ago: Three men — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelley — who’d spent nearly two decades in prison for the nightmarish slayings of three Cub Scouts in Arkansas, went free after they agreed to a legal maneuver allowing them to maintain their innocence while acknowledging prosecutors had enough evidence against them. Five years ago: The Obama administration defended its decision to make a $400 million cash delivery to Iran contingent on the release of American prisoners, saying the payment wasn’t ransom because the Islamic Republic would have soon recouped the money one way or another. Usain Bolt scored another sweep at the Rio Games, winning three gold medals in his third consecutive Olympics by turning a close 4x100 relay race against Japan and the United States into a runaway, helping Jamaica cross the line in 37.27 seconds. Allyson Felix won an unprecedented ﬁfth gold medal in women’s track and ﬁeld, running the second leg of the 4x100-meter relay team. Actor Jack Riley, 80, died in Los Angeles. One year ago: Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic nomination for vice president in a speech to the party’s virtual convention, cementing her place in history as the ﬁrst Black woman on a major party ticket. In a speech on the third night of the convention, former President Barack Obama warned that his successor, Donald Trump, was both unﬁt for ofﬁce and apathetic to the nation’s founding principles. Another night of protests in Portland, Oregon ended in clashes with police; ofﬁcials said protesters broke out the windows of a county government building, sprayed lighter ﬂuid inside and set a ﬁre.

Aug. 20 Ohio court sets execution date despite unofficial moratorium COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday set a 2025 execution date for a man convicted of killing ﬁve people including three children more than three decades ago. The court’s decision in the case of death row inmate Samuel Moreland comes even as an unofﬁcial execution moratorium continues in Ohio, which has been unable to ﬁnd the needed lethal drugs. The court sided with the Montgomery County prosecutor, which requested an execution date with all of Moreland’s state and federal appeals ended. The court scheduled the execution for July 30, 2025. Moreland’s attorneys opposed the request, arguing that Moreland has a petition pending with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights alleging rights’ violations. That commission does not have the ability to stop a U.S. execution. Moreland was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1985 Dayton murders of his girlfriend, Glenna Green, 46; her daughter, Lana Green, 23; and three of Glenna Green’s grandchildren: 7-year-old Daytrin Talbott, 6-yearold Datwan Talbott, and 6-yearold Violana Green. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said last year that because of Ohio’s difﬁculty ﬁnding drugs for executions, lethal injection is no longer an option, and lawmakers must choose a different method of capital punishment before any inmates can be put to death. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, August 19, 2021 3 Tropical Depression Fred threatens mudslides in New York The Associated Press Tropical Depression Fred swirled over West Virginia early Wednesday and dumped heavy rain over the northeastern U.S., threatening to unleash mudslides and ﬂash ﬂoods in upstate New York after closing interstate highways in the lower Appalachians. Tornado watches remained in effect for mountainous areas of Virginia and the Carolinas. Unconﬁrmed tornados unleashed by the stormy weather already caused damage in places in Georgia and North Carolina on Tuesday as Fred moved north, well inland from the coastal areas that usually bear the brunt of tropical weather. One death was reported — a Las Vegas man whose car hydroplaned and ﬂipped into a ditch near Panama City, Florida, hours after the storm moved ashore, Florida Highway Patrol said. About 25,000 customers were without power early Wednesday according to the utility tracker poweroutage.us, most of them in West Virginia and North Carolina, where steady downpours swelled waterways and washed rocks and mud onto highways. Multiple landslides closed Interstate 19 through the Nantahala Gorge, according to the North Carolina transportation department. The National Hurricane Center said Fred had top sustained winds of 25 mph (35 kph) and was moving northeast past Charleston, West Virginia, at 20 mph (32 kph) Wednesday morning. Schools were closed and people evacuated along three rain-swollen rivers in far eastern Tennessee. “The areas around the Pigeon, French Broad and Nolichucky Rivers have become unsafe,” said Progressive Dem Morgan Harper enters US Senate race in Ohio By Julie Carr Smyth Ryan, a 10-term congressman from the blue-collar Mahoning Valley who launched COLUMBUS, Ohio — Progressive Morgan his Senate bid in April, Harper jumped into the praised Portman’s work on the measure, even race for an open U.S. Senate seat in Ohio on as the House’s vocal Wednesday, promising progressive coalition placed conditions on to turn next year’s primary against U.S. Rep. their support.

Our pitching showed up.” Jeff Dean | AP Frank Schwindel and Rafael Chicago Cubs’ Sergio Alcantara (51) rounds second base after hitting a solo home run during the sixth inning against the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati on Ortega also drove in runs Wednesday. The Cubs defeated the Reds 7-1. for the Cubs, who ended a 12-game skid a day earlier. Schwindel, Chicago’s regular ﬁrst baseman since Anthony Rizzo was dealt to the Yankees at the deadline, had six hits in the series and is batting .329. Adrian Sampson, called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day to pitch in the majors for the ﬁrst time since 2019, held the suddenly quiet Reds to one run and ﬁve hits in four innings. Relievers Manuel Rodríguez (1-2), Rowan Wick, Adam Morgan and Trevor Megill blanked Cincinnati over the ﬁnal ﬁve innings, allowing one hit. Reds starter Tyler Mahle (10-4) gave up ﬁve runs and eight hits in ﬁve innings. Jeff Hoffman came on in the sixth and promptly surrendered Alcántara’s homer. After exploding for 14 runs in the series opener Monday night, Cincinnati managed a single run in each of the last two games. The Cubs banged out 12 hits and won for the fourth time in 19 games since trading stars Rizzo, Kris Bryant, Javier Báez and Craig Kimbrel. Happ’s ﬁrst-inning homer was his second in as many games. Hermosillo, called up from Triple-A on Tuesday, slammed a 441-foot, two-run bomb into the upper deck in left ﬁeld during a four-run second. Tyler Naquin homered in the second, the only time Cincinnati got a runner past second base. The top ﬁve Reds hitters combined to go 1-for-19.

It remains to be seen how they’ll be welcomed. Before they play an exhibition at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday, the Browns and Giants will practice together for two straight days at Cleveland’s suburban training facility. And if past joint practices between NFL teams is any indication, there could be more going on than blocking and tackling. “There are times when they can get a little testy and get a little physical,” said Browns linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. Walker would know. Two years ago, when he was with Indianapolis, the Colts hosted the Browns for two practices in Westﬁeld, Indiana, that grew more intense over two days and resulted in numerous brawls between players — some of them ugly. Freddie Kitchens, Cleveland’s coach at the time and now a senior offensive assistant with the Giants, wanted to brieﬂy classmates and teammates in Philadelphia and Stefanski played high school ball with Judge’s brother, Jim. That connection will allow both teams to get the work they need, and should help keep things under control. “I know what Joe’s about and what he believes in, so there’s that relationship there where we know our two teams,” Stefanski said. “I think you can get good, productive work when you have that.” The Browns have shown great discipline during camp as there hasn’t been a single incident between teammates during workouts in some oppressive heat.

She’s back. Down a set and a break to 17-year-old Coco Gauff, the second-ranked Osaka fought back to pull out a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win at the Western & Southern Open on Wednesday, her ﬁrst WTA Tour event since the French Open in late May. Osaka appreciated being tested so quickly. “It’s deﬁnitely been a while since I played a tough opponent in a three-set match,” she said. “It was deﬁnitely really tough, but I feel really good right now. I’m super excited to play another match.” Citing discomfort with post-match news conferences, the four-time Grand Slam champion withdrew from Roland Garros and skipped Wimbledon. She was eliminated in the round of 16 at the Tokyo Olympics after lighting the Olympic cauldron in her native Japan.

Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Paul Daugherty asked how she balanced her discomfort with news conferences and her need to speak out. Osaka paused in thought and, declining the moderator’s suggestion to move on from the topic, asked Daugherty to repeat the question. She responded with what the writer later described as the best answer he’s ever SPORTS heard in 34 years of covering sports. “Um, I mean, for me, I feel like this is something that I can’t — I can’t really speak for everybody,” she said. “I can only speak for myself, but ever since I was younger, I have had a lot of media interest on me, and I think it’s because of my background as well as, you know, how I play, because in the ﬁrst place, I’m a tennis player. “That’s why a lot of people are interested in me, so I would say in that regard, I’m quite different REPORTER ✔ Are you passionate about high school sports in Meigs, Mason and Gallia counties? ✔ Do you have a love of writing and/or background in Journalism, English, Communications or Public Relations?

The plan, as outlined by the chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other top health authorities, calls for an extra dose eight months after people get their second shot of the Pﬁzer or Moderna vaccine. The doses could begin the week of Sept. 20. “Our plan is to protect the American people, to stay ahead of this virus,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said as the agency cited a raft of studies suggesting that the vaccines are losing ground while the highly contagious variant spreads. People who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine will also probably need extra shots, health ofﬁcials said. But they said they are waiting for more data. Ofﬁcials said that before any booster program starts up, the Food and Drug Administration and a CDC advisory panel would need to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an extra dose. “We have a responsibility to give the maximum amount of protection,” President Joe Biden said at the White House. He added that extra doses are also “the best way to protect ourselves from new variants that could arise.” The announcement came the same day the Biden administration said it would require nursing homes to mandate vaccinations for staffers in order to continue receiving federal funds. Hundreds of thousands of nursing home workers remain unvaccinated, despite the heightened risk of fatal infections among elderly residents. Ofﬁcials said it is “very clear” that the vaccines’ protection against infections wanes over time, and they noted the worsening picture in Israel, which has seen a rise in severe cases, many of them in people already inoculated. They said the U.S. needs to get out ahead of the problem before it takes a more lethal turn here and starts leading to increasing hospitalizations and deaths among the vaccinated. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government’s foremost expert on COVID-19, said one of the key lessons of the coronavirus is that it’s better to “stay ahead of it than chasing after it.” The ﬁrst boosters would go to people in high-priority groups that received the initial U.S. vaccinations: nursing home residents, health workers and those with underlying health conditions. Health ofﬁcials are likely to recommend that the booster be the same brand of vaccine that people received initially. Dr. Mark Mulligan of NYU’s Langone Health center welcomed the announcement, saying: “Part of leadership is being able to see around the corner and make hard decisions without having all the data. It seems to me that’s what they’re doing here.” Top scientists at the World Health Organization bitterly objected to the U.S. plan, noting that poor countries are not getting enough vaccine for their initial rounds of shots. “We’re planning to hand out extra life jackets to people who already have life jackets, while we’re leaving other people to drown without a single life jacket,” said Dr. Michael Ryan, the WHO’s emergencies chief. The organization’s top scientist, Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, said the evidence does not show boosters are needed for everyone, and she warned that leaving billions of people in the developing world unvaccinated could foster the emergence of new variants and result in “even more dire situations.” U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy rejected the notion that the U.S. must choose between “America and the world,” saying: “We clearly see our responsibility to both.” White House ofﬁcials noted that the U.S. has donated 115 million doses to 80 countries, more than all other nations combined. They said the U.S. has plenty of vaccine to dispense boosters to its own population. Israel is already offering booster shots to people over 50. And European regulators are looking into the idea. Last week, U.S. health ofﬁcials recommended a third shot for some people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients and organ transplant recipients. Offering boosters to all Americans would be a major expansion of what is already the biggest vaccination campaign in U.S. history. Nearly 200 million Americans have received at least one shot. Some experts have expressed concern that calling for boosters would undermine the public health message — and reinforce opposition to the vaccine — by raising more doubts in the minds of people already skeptical about the shots’ effectiveness.
