Meigs County Commissioners Jimmy Will, Tim Ihle and Shannon Miller met with village residents and village officials at Rutland Civic Center/ Village Hall last month to explain the project, which will involve complete replacement of all existing grinder pumps with septic tanks connected to the village’s centralized wastewater collection and treatment system. Mayor Tyler Eblin welcomed guests in attendance and introduced the county commissioners. Information regarding the project was presented by Commissioner Ihle. Commissioner Ihle explained that each residence will receive a new, 1,000-gallon septic tank, replacing the obsolete grinder pumps, wherein solid matter will settle and gray water will be pumped out through the centralized collection lines and to the wastewater treatment plant. As part of ongoing maintenance, the Meigs County Sewer and Water District will pump out solid matter as routinely needed. The new system will replace what commissioners dub as a “maintenance nightmare,” describing the current grinder pump systems. Commissioner Ihle indicated that the new septic tank pumps will require less electricity and less maintenance, thereby reducing energy and operating costs. Commissioner Ihle indicated that the contractor, Bear Contracting from Bridgeport, W.Va., will conduct removal of the existing See PROJECT | 8 ‘Rising Star Volunteer’ recognized By Kayla (Hawthorne) Dunham executive director of the Meigs-Gallia CASA/ khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.

Her father who came home from World War II. Her cousin who died in Vietnam. Too many friends and neighbors to count. “I’m having all these flashbacks,” she said Wednesday as school children, families and veterans lined the village’s two main streets to honor Navy Corpsman Maxton Soviak. While the war in Afghanistan is over, its harsh reality is still coming home as Americans now are beginning to honor and bury the last casualties to come back from a 20-year war that claimed more than 2,400 American lives. Stars and Stripes of all sizes and homemade signs saying “thank you for your service” decorated the procession route through northern Ohio where Soviak, 22, grew up before joining the Navy. In suburban St Louis, thousands lined Interstate 70 to pay respects Wednesday to Marine Lance Cpl. Jared Schmitz, 20, whose body was escorted from the airport to a funeral home in St. Charles, Missouri. Many people brought American flags, and massive flags flew from AP Photo | David Dermer Members of the U.S. Navy Honor Guard transport the casket of Navy Corpsman Maxton Soviak at Morman-Hinman-Tanner Funeral Home, Wednesday in Berlin Heights, Ohio. Soviak was one of 13 U.S. troops killed in a horrific suicide bombing at Afghanistan’s Kabul airport on Aug. 26. boring village where inventor Thomas Edison was born and then by the stadium where just five years ago, Soviak was a football captain for the Edison High Chargers. One final turn took the procession by the Soviak family’s home and onto a road dedicated to Army Sgt. David Sexton,, who was killed in the Vietnam, which up until now had been America’s longest war. Right across the street from the funeral home, some of Soviak’s relatives watched from their front porch as a military honor guard carried his casket gave his entire life and as a veteran, we respond to that.” These are scenes that will repeat in the coming days in places including Omaha, Nebraska; Laredo, Texas; Logansport, Indiana; and Sacramento, California; for the 13 who died in the bomb attack Aug. 26 at Afghanistan’s Kabul airport during the frantic airlift in the conflict’s final days. On a clear morning in rural Ohio, military veterans on motorcycles escorted Soviak’s remains the final 8 miles (13 kilometers) to his hometown, first passing through the neigh- the aerial ladders of fire trucks. The procession, which included about 1,000 motorcyclists from the Patriot Guard, was so long the Missouri State Highway Patrol closed the interstate to westbound traffic over the 8 1/2-mile route. Among those paying his respects was 60-year-old Luther Loughridge, a retired lieutenant with the U.S. Coast Guard, who stood in uniform at salute for more than 20 minutes. “It’s the last of the Afghanistan war, and he’s the last victim,” Loughridge said. “He inside — just a week after the United States completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan. The community will come together in a few days to honor Soviak at a public visitation Sunday at the high school. The funeral will be Monday morning at the school’s football stadium. “We’re all struggling a bit,” said Kami Neuberger, a neighbor who thought of “Max” like another brother. “I just never thought it would happen.” Just one year younger than Soviak, her older brother, who’s now a Marine, graduated from high school with him in 2017. “He was always right alongside my brother, making fun of me, teasing, being goofy,” she said. “He tried to make everyone smile.” A few houses down, Elyse Colwell sat on a blanket with her two toddlers. She thought about when she was in middle school and her father left for Afghanistan with his Ohio National Guard unit. And she thought about how Soviak and many of the others killed in the bombing would have been right around the age of her own two children when the war in Afghanistan began shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “These kids were toddlers when this began. It’s almost like they grew up with it,” said Colwell, adding that she’s worried about what will come next. “Just because we left doesn’t mean it’s over” Court weighs drug distributor’s insurance coverage fight By Andrew Welsh-Huggins TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 71° 69° HEALTH TODAY Statistics through 3 p.m. Wed.

Not much time has been left to help fellow Democrat and California Gov. Gavin Newsom fight off an attempt to boot him from office. With less than a week to spare, the White House is diving into the California gubernatorial recall election, coming to Newsom’s aid with visits from Vice President Kamala Harris and then Biden himself to try to alleviate lingering concerns about Democratic turnout in the unusual September vote. Harris arrived back in her home state to campaign with Newsom on Wednesday after a previously planned visit was nixed due to the chaos surrounding the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden is expected to visit California just ahead of Tuesday’s election. For Biden, it’s a chance to flex his political muscle in a state where he and Harris remain virus pandemic. “They are so afraid they want to federalize this election. This is about California,” said Elder, who could become the state’s first Black governor. “This federal firepower is not going to help him.” Elder spoke briefly with reporters after voting at an election center and before starting a statewide bus tour. Asked if he had concerns about the integrity of the election — all of the state’s 22 million voters received a mail-in ballot — he said “there might AP Photo | Carolyn Kaster Vice President Kamala Harris arrives to board a plane at Andrews Air Force Base, Md.

The election has two questions: First, whether voters believe the governor should be recalled, and then, who should replace him. Voters will choose from a list of 46 replacement candidates — many of them unknown. With so many candidates dividing those ballots, if the recall effort succeeds, it’s possible a candidate could win with 25% or less of the vote. The main concern for Newsom remains getting Democratic base voters engaged and aware that they need to turn out for an unusually timed election, according to Kyle Kondick, a nonpartisan political analyst at the University of Virginia. “One way to do that is to bring in high-profile surrogates who will get a lot of news coverage and will help spread the word about the fact that the recall is happening,” Kondick said. “And from a Democratic perspective, it’s hard to find two people better than Vice President Kamala Harris, who’s from California herself, and, of course, the president.” Statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee comes down in Virginia By Sarah Rankin and Denise Lavoie steadfastly rebuked by city and Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — A statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee that towered over Richmond for generations was taken down, cut into pieces and hauled away Wednesday, as the former capital of the Confederacy erased the last of the Civil War figures that once defined its most prominent thoroughfare. Hundreds of onlookers erupted in cheers and song as the 21-foottall bronze figure was lifted off a pedestal and lowered to the ground. The removal marked a major victory for civil rights activists, whose previous calls to dismantle the statues had been state officials alike. “It’s very difficult to imagine, certainly, even two years ago that the statues on Monument Avenue would actually be removed,” said Ana Edwards, a community activist and founding member of the Virginia Defenders for Freedom Justice & Equality. “It’s representative of the fact that we’re sort of peeling back the layers of injustice that Black people and people of color have experienced when governed by white supremacist policies for so long.” Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam ordered the statue’s removal last summer amid the nationwide protest movement that erupted after the murder of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis. But litigation tied up his plans until the state Supreme Court cleared the way last week. Northam, who watched the work, called it “hopefully a new day, a new era in Virginia.” “Any remnant like this that glorifies the lost cause of the Civil War, it needs to come down,” he said. The 21-foot (6-meter) bronze sculpture was installed in 1890 atop a granite pedestal about twice that tall.

Mike DeWine’s pandemic powers as well as those of local health officials. The GOP-backed bill provided sweeping restrictions by putting limits on emergency orders issued by DeWine, the lieutenant governor, state auditor, treasurer, attorney general and secretary of state. The legislation also prevents local health departments from issuing mass school and business orders and allows lawmakers to rescind orders or rules issued in response to an emergency, such as by the Ohio Department of Health.
