The bill is similar to a measure pending in the state Senate, and one of several GOP-backed proposals in recent years seeking to expand gun rights in Ohio. The concealed weapons bill, dubbed “Constitutional Carry” by its backers, is sponsored by Republican Reps. Tom Brinker of Cincinnati and Kris Jordan of Ostrander in central Ohio.

Poorer countries tend to have larger shares of children, teens and young adults, who are less likely to fall seriously ill from the coronavirus. India, despite its terrifying delta surge that peaked in early May, now has a much lower reported daily death rate than wealthier Russia, the U.S. or Britain, though there is uncertainty around its figures. The seeming disconnect between wealth and health is a paradox that disease experts will be pondering for years. But the pattern that is seen on the grand scale, when nations are compared, is different when examined at closer range. Within each wealthy country, when deaths and infections are mapped, poorer neighborhoods are hit hardest. In the U.S., for example, COVID-19 has taken an outsize toll on Black and Hispanic people, who are more likely than white people to live in poverty and have less access to health care. “When we get out our microscopes, we see that within countries, the most vulnerable have suffered most,” Ko said. Wealth has also played a role in the global vaccination drive, with rich countries accused of locking up supplies. The U.S. and others are already dispensing booster shots at a time when millions across Africa haven’t received a single dose, though the rich countries are also shipping hundreds of millions of shots to the rest of the world. Africa remains the world’s least vaccinated region, with just 5% of the population of 1.3 billion people fully covered. “This devastating milestone reminds us that we are failing much of the world,” U.N.

According to a news release from PVH, the facility’s staff worked with Mason County first responders in a mass casualty training exercise from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28, at the hospital, located at 2520 Valley Drive in Point Pleasant, W.Va. The purpose of the exercise was to make sure staff are prepared in the case of a real emergency. “Pleasant Valley Hospital continues to improve safety, security, and ourselves in the event of a disaster, threat, or inclement weather,” stated Bryan Litchfield, director of Plant Operations, who coordinated the training exercise. Jeff Noblin, FACHE, CEO of Pleasant Valley Hospital stated, “I’m glad we were able to hold this training.

In 1920, white mobs rampaged through the Florida citrus town of Ocoee, setting fire to Black-owned homes and businesses, after a Black man, Mose Norman, showed up at the polls to vote on Election Day; some historians estimate as many as 60 people were killed. In 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (derisively dubbed the “Spruce Goose” by detractors), on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California. In 1963, South Vietnamese President Ngo Dihn Diem (noh ding ZEE’-em) was assassinated in a military coup. In 1976, former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter became the first candidate from the Deep South since the Civil War to be elected president as he defeated incumbent Gerald R. Ford.

OHIO BRIEFS Cleveland police will rescind mental health referral policy CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland’s police department plans to rescind its policy requiring officers to notify crime victims before sending low-level, non-violent offenders to a county diversion program. A department spokeswoman said the change would be made as early as this week. It comes after some officials and mental health advocates said the department was unnecessarily applying a 2017 victims-rights law which was preventing people from getting the treatment they need and putting victims in a position to decide the fate of someone’s treatment. The policy was instituted by Police Chief Calvin Williams about two weeks ago, cleveland.com reported. It was based on the Marsy’s Law, which expanded victims rights to include notifications about suspects’ criminal cases. City officials had defended the policy last week, but decided late Friday to make the change. They noted that no one had been denied access to the diversion center. Cleveland’s mayoral candidates, City Council President Kevin Kelley and nonprofit executive Justin Bibb, had said they would eliminate the notification policy after taking office. High Court won’t hear Ohio Elections Commission case WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court won’t hear a lawsuit challenging the makeup of the Ohio Elections Commission. The high court turned away the case Monday. As is typical, it did not comment in doing so. Ohio’s seven-member commission has three Democrats, three Republicans and one member chosen by the other members who is not affiliated with a political party. The Libertarian Party of Ohio and Harold Thomas, a member of the Libertarian Party, sued over the composition of the commission. They said it violated their rights by making members of smaller political parties ineligible for service on the commission. Lower courts had ruled against them. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, November 2, 2021 3 GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel and Gallipolis Daily Tribune appreciate your input to the community calendar.

Americans’ opinions on the U.S. economy have soured noticeably in the past month, a new poll finds, as the cost of goods is rising nationwide, particularly gas prices. AP-NORC Poll: Americans sour on economy amid inflation woes By Ken Sweet and Emily Swanson The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Americans’ opinions on the U.S. economy have soured noticeably in the past month, a new poll finds, with nearly half expecting economic conditions to worsen in the next year. Just 35% of Americans now call the national economy good, while 65% call it poor, according to a poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. That’s a dip since September, when 45% of Americans called the economy good, and a return to about where views of the nation’s economy stood in January and February, when the pandemic was raging across the nation. The deterioration in Americans’ economic sentiments comes as the cost of goods is rising nationwide, particularly gas prices, and bottlenecks in the global supply chain have made purchasing everything from furniture to automobiles more difficult. The Labor Department reported earlier this month that consumer prices in September rose 5.4% from a year earlier, the largest one-year increase since 2008. Nadine Christian, 56, said she’s been concerned about the rising cost of living the past year. “I grew up in the 1970s and I remember it was hard for my parents to make ends meet,” Christian said, referring to the last time the U.S. economy was severely impacted by high infla- tion. “It’s not quite as bad as it was back then but I feel like any day we could go off the rails.” Roughly half of Americans — 47% — now say they expect the economy to get worse in the next year, compared with just 30% who think it will get better. In an APNORC poll conducted in February and March, the situation was reversed: 44% expected the economy to get better in the year ahead and just 32% said it would get worse. Earlier this year, 70% of Democrats said they expected the economy to get better. Now, just 51% do. And the share of Republicans who think the economy will get even worse has grown to 74% from 59% earlier in the year. Joseph Binkley, 34, from Indiana, said he’s worried about inflation but thinks the problems in the economy are temporary. “I think it’s mostly a supply-demand issue, as the economy is improving,” he said. Binkley said he supports President Biden’s economic policies. “A lot of the first years of a presidency is dealing with the predecessor’s policies. I think Biden is having to work through the problems of the previous administration.” The AP-NORC poll shows a majority of Americans are critical of Biden’s handling of the economy, with 58% saying they disapprove and 41% saying they approve. Despite the deterioration in Americans’ economic outlooks, the poll found they remain relatively optimistic about their own financial situations. The poll found that 65% of Americans say their personal financial situation is good, a number that has remained about constant since before the pandemic began. Still, 24% say they think their personal finances will get worse in the next year, up from 13% earlier this year. The poll also shows signs that the pandemic has helped improve workers’ bargaining power: 36% of Americans are very or extremely confident that they could find a good job if they wanted to. In March of 2020, 25% said that, and in June of 2019, 30% said so. Another 35% say they’re at least somewhat confident. About half of Americans, 49%, now say they’re highly confident they could pay an unexpected bill of $1,000, up from 36% in March of 2020 and 40% in June of 2019. Economic inequalities between Black and Hispanic Americans compared to their white counterparts remain, however. White Americans are much more likely than Black or Hispanic Americans to be highly confident in their ability to pay an unexpected bill or medical expense. For businesses, the supply chain issues have dampened economic forecasts. Dozens of large companies have said it’s been hard to find basic goods for manufacturing, like raw materials and semiconductors.

A last-minute rush of jabs boosted the vaccination rate to 83% among police officers, firefighters, garbage collectors and other city workers covered by the mandate as of 8 p.m. Friday, up from 76% a day earlier. The more than 26,000 workers who haven’t complied with the requirement will be put on unpaid leave starting Monday, leaving the Big Apple bracing for the possibility of closed fire- houses, fewer police and ambulances and mounting trash. Vaccination rates for the city’s fire and sanitation departments jumped significantly Friday as workers rushed to meet the deadline for the mandate and an extra incentive: Workers who get a shot by Friday will get $500. The fire department’s rate rose 8% and the sanitation department saw an additional 10% of its staff get vaccinated Friday, according to city data. The fire and sanitation departments each have 23% of their staffs that still haven’t been vaccinated. The NYPD had a 5% jump in vaccinations Friday, leaving 16% of police personnel who had yet to get a dose. City officials have been weighing various contingencies to deal with an expected staffing shortfall come Monday. The fire department said it was prepared to close up to 20% of its fire companies and have 20% fewer ambulances in service while also changing schedules, canceling vacations and turning to outside EMS providers to make up for expected staffing shortages. Mayor Bill de Blasio said the sanitation department will move to 12-hour shifts, as opposed to the usual 8-hour shifts, and begin working Sundays to ensure trash doesn’t pile up.

Jury selection underway at Kyle Rittenhouse homicide trial By Scott Bauer, Michael Tarm and Amy Forliti Associated Press KENOSHA, Wis. — The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse opened Monday with the challenging task of seating jurors who hadn’t already made up their minds about the young aspiring police officer who shot two people to death and wounded a third during a night of anti-racism protests in Kenosha last year. The jury that is ultimately selected in the politically charged case will have to decide whether Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, as his lawyers claim, or was engaged in vigilantism when he opened fire with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle. By late afternoon, at least 28 of the 150 or so prospective jurors summoned for the trial had been dismissed, about a dozen of them because they had strong opinions about the case or doubts they could be fair. Some also expressed fear about public anger toward the jury but were not immediately dismissed from the case. Rittenhouse, 18, faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious charge against him, first-degree homicide. Rittenhouse was 17 when he traveled to Kenosha from his home in Illinois, just across the Wisconsin state line, during unrest that broke out in August 2020 after a white Kenosha police officer shot Jacob Blake, a Black man, in the back. Rittenhouse said he went there to protect property after two previous nights marked by arson, gunfire and the ransacking of businesses. As jury selection got underway, Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder Steve Helber | AP Photo Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin gestures as he speaks to supporters during a rally in Chesterfield, Va., Monday. Youngkin will face Democrat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe in the November election. RICHMOND, Va. — Democrat Terry McAuliffe and Republican Glenn Youngkin were campaigning in many of the same, highly competitive parts of Virginia on Monday, trying to secure last minute support in a governor’s race that has captured national attention as a major referendum on Joe Biden’s presidency. McAuliffe, who served as governor from 2014 to 2018, is scrambling to stave off disaster after polling has shifted in Youngkin’s direction in recent weeks. Republicans are optimistic about their chances in the commonwealth, where they haven’t won a statewide race since 2009, and where Biden won by a comfortable 10 points just last year. Elsewhere, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, is trying to secure reelection against Republican former State Assembly member Jack Ciattarelli. If successful, Murphy would be the first Democrat reelected as the state’s governor in 44 years, though New Jersey hasn’t voted Republican for president since 1988. Mayor’s offices in many of the nation’s largest cities are also up for grabs Tuesday. Democrat Eric Adams, the Brooklyn borough president who is favored to win New York’s mayor’s office, chatted with voters at a subway stop in Queens. His opponent, Republican Curtis Sliwa, planned a news conference with firefighters to protest city mandates requiring firefighters and other city workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19. A ballot question in Minneapolis, meanwhile, could reshape policing in that community, where the killing of George Floyd last year touched off sweeping demonstrations for racial justice across the nation. But what happens in Virginia — onetime Republican-leaning territory that has gotten bluer in recent years — promises to have repercussions that may shake both parties. A McAuliffe win could reassure Democrats heading into next year’s midterm elections, when control of Congress is at stake. An upset by Youngkin, however, would let Republicans say they’ve seized political momentum and don’t plan to relinquish it during the midterms. Biden’s approval ratings have fallen in recent weeks. And the Democratic-controlled Congress has yet to approve a major public works bill or a sweeping spending package that would dramatically increase government support for the social safety net. Both McAuliffe and Youngkin were campaigning Monday in greater Richmond, the state capital, whose fast-growing suburbs could swing the race. An energetic crowd of what his campaign said was around 800 people filled a hangar at a small airport for a Youngkin speech that invoked the Founding Fathers. “This is a moment for Virginians to push back on this left, liberal progressive agenda and take our commonwealth back,” Youngkin said. Several attendees decried Biden but also complimented Youngkin for keeping the race focused on Virginia, not Washington. “He’s a straight shooter,” supporter Dan Maloy said of Youngkin. “He cares about the issues that we care about. You know, it’s food on the table. What’s the cost of groceries? What’s the cost of gas? What do we need to do to move Virginia forward?” OH-70258794 By Sarah Rankin and Will Weissert Associated Press Re -E le ct Tight VA governor’s race sets tone on Election Day eve Sean Krajacic | The Kenosha News via AP Kyle Rittenhouse, left, speaks with his attorney Corey Chirafisi, during jury selection for his trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis, on Monday. Rittenhouse is accused of killing two people and wounding a third during a protest over police brutality in Kenosha, last year. stressed repeatedly that jurors must decide the case solely on what they hear in the courtroom, and cautioned: “This is not a political trial.” “It was mentioned by both political campaigns and the presidential campaign last year, in some instances very, very imprudently,” he said. The judge said Rittenhouse’s constitutional right to a fair trial, not the Second Amendment right to bear arms, will come into play, and “I don’t want it to get sidetracked into other issues.” Among those dismissed by the judge were a man who said he was at the site of the protests when “all that happened” and a woman who said she knew one of the potential witnesses in the case well and would probably weigh that person’s testimony more than that of others. Another woman who said she watched a livestream video of what happened was dismissed because she wasn’t sure if she could put aside what she saw. One person was dropped from the case after she said she believes in the Biblical injunction “Thou shall not kill,” even in cases of self-defense. A man who said he had “been commenting consistently on news feeds and Facebook” was also excused. A man said his son is friends with the person who bought the gun that Rittenhouse later used in the shooting. He was not immediately dismissed by the judge. Under questioning by prosecutor Thomas Binger, some prospective jurors said they left town during the unrest. Others took precautions by moving vehicles or boarding up businesses. One said she got a gun to protect herself and her family. “After all of that -neighbors yelling that I shouldn’t have my flag hanging, my United States of America flag should not be up for whatever reason -- I left it up and I got a gun,” the woman said. One woman told Binger she feared there would be friction in her marriage if she came to a verdict that went against her husband’s opinion. The judge put her questioning aside for the time being without dismissing her. The prosecutor also moved to dismiss a woman who said that she has a biracial granddaughter who participated in some of the protests last summer and that she could not be impartial. Rittenhouse’s attorneys had no objection. Binger asked if any of the jurors had donated money to support Rittenhouse, or if they knew anyone who did. None said so. Rittenhouse has been painted by supporters on the right as a patriot who took a stand against lawlessness among demonstrators and exercised his Second Amendment gun rights. Others see him as a vigilante and police wannabe who never should have been armed in Kenosha in the first place. Rittenhouse is white, as were those he shot, but many are watching his trial as the latest referendum on race and the American legal system, in part because the protesters were on the streets to decry police violence against Black people. Rittenhouse’s attorney got a prospective juror dropped after she said she would find Rittenhouse guilty of all charges just because he was carrying an assault-style weapon. “I don’t think a weapon like that should belong to the general public,” the woman said. Two prospective jurors said they would be nervous about serving, though the judge assured them precautions would be taken to keep them safe. “My fear is walking out of any of the days of court and just wondering what we’re walking out to,” said one. “What are our cars going to look like when we’re going out them? Are they going to be slashed? Are they going to be damaged? Am I going to be able to get home safe?” The other said she did not want to serve on the Rittenhouse jury because “either way this goes you’re going to have half the country upset with you and they react poorly.” For Continued Progress HARRY DEAN BROWNELL Gallipolis Twp.

HOWARD, Ohio — The problem wasn’t moving the ball between the goal lines. The problem was getting the ball beyond those boundaries. Fourth-seeded East Knox built a 41-point cushion through three quarters of play and ultimately handed the Eastern football team a 41-13 setback on Saturday night in a Division VII, Region 27 football contest at Chet Looney Stadium. The 13th-seeded Eagles (4-5) moved the ball into EKHS territory on three of its first four offensive drives of the first half, but the guests were ultimately stonewalled in the opening 24 minutes while the Bulldogs (9-2) established a comfortable 34-0 halftime advantage. With the second half beginning with a continuously running clock due to the 30-point lead, East Knox started the third period with a 9-play, 51-yard drive that ended at the 4:24 mark with a Cole DeLaughder 6-yard run for a commanding 41-0 edge. EHS finally had some offensive success in the fourth after both of its possessions resulted in touchdown drives. After a short punt gave the guests the ball at the EKHS 26, the Eagles needed only one play to cover the distance and get on the board as Jayden Evans hauled in a 26-yard pass from Brady Yonker for a 41-7 contest with 10:38 left in regulation. Bryce Newland — who had 20 rushing attempts in the first half — tacked on a 9-yard scamper with 57.6 seconds remaining to complete the 28-point outcome. East Knox sandwiched a pair of TD runs around a pick-6 in the first quarter to build a 20-point lead, then tacked on a pair of Peyton Lester passes in the second stanza en route to the 34-point lead at the midway point. The difference in this game wasn’t so much the lack of competitiveness that could be See EAGLES | 7 Point Pleasant vanquishes Vikings, 51-0 By Colton Jeffries cjeffries@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Consider these Vikings conquered. The Point Pleasant football team defeated the Ripley Vikings 51-0 in their home finale Friday evening. The Big Blacks (8-1) started carving up the Viking (1-9) immediately, with their first three rushes all going for first downs. The Red and Black’s first drive ended just under three minutes, with junior quarterback Evan Roach keeping the ball on a 1-yard run, starting a trend which saw the Big Blacks score on all drives but their last. After forcing a Viking punt, the Big Blacks found the endzone once more when junior fullback Gavin Jeffers ran the ball for four yards with 6:14 to go in the first quarter. The second quarter was the busiest for Point Pleasant. First, Roach kept the ball for 14 yards for his second touchdown of the night two minutes in. Next, Roach connected with junior wide receiver Cody Schultz for two yards for the only passing touchdown of the night with five minutes to go. The big second quarter finished with Jeffers running the ball in from four yards with 15 seconds until half, giving the Big Blacks a big 34-0 lead at the break. The lone points for special teams came toward the middle of the third quarter, when freshman kicker Alex Shrader nailed a field goal. Point Pleasant tacked on another touchdown when senior fullback Zander Watson ran the ball for a 12-yard score. The last touchdown of the night came with just five minutes to go in regulation, with sophomore running back Stephen Clark punching the ball in for three yards. The Big Black defense also had a good night, netting three interceptions during Friday’s ballgame. Both teams did the balk of their work on the ground, with the Big Blacks outpacing the Vikings 456-98. Leading Point Pleasant was Jeffers, who had 173 yards on 13 carries, while Joey Ramsey led the Vikings with a statline of 12-58. Both teams only had one passer, with Evan Roach leading the Big Blacks with four completions good for 43 yards. Ty Stephens only had two completions for the Vikings, making up six yards. Top receiver for the Big Blacks was senior Trey Peck, who had one reception for 22 yards, while Elijah Miller led the Vikings with one catch for six yards. The Big Blacks will be back in action at 7:30 p.m. Friday when they finish the regular season with a road trip to take on the Winfield Generals. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

McCrae scored on the next snap and Angelo Barcelona added the first of three successful PAT boots, making it a 7-2 contest with 3.5 seconds left in the first stanza. Isaac Clary recovered a fumble on Heath’s first drive of the second quarter, but the hosts answered with an 8-play, 52-yard drive on their next possession. McCrae capped the drive with an 11-yard scamper with 3:23 left in the half for a 14-2 advantage. The Orange and Brown defense held on a fourthand-1 at their own 45 on the second drive of the second half, then needed only four plays to cover 55 yards as Conner Toomey hauled in a 39-yard touchdown pass from Brayden Bayless at the 6:34 mark for a 21-2 cushion. Gallia Academy followed with a 12-play drive that ended with a failed fourth down conversion attempt with 29 seconds left in the canto. Heath ran the final play of the third frame, which ended up as a 40-yard run by McCrae — setting up a first-and-goal at the GAHS eight as both teams headed into the finale. Heath ended up going backwards and failed to convert a fourth-and-goal at the 14, allowing the Blue Devils to remain within striking distance. The Blue and White offense stalled and was forced to punt, but Paolo Jones recovered a fumble on the ensuing return. Both teams traded punts and then Gallia Academy had to punt again, and Jones again recovered a fumble on the return with 1:07 left in regulation. Heath claimed a 13-6 advantage in first downs and outgained the guests by a sizable 295-52 overall margin in total yards of offense, including a 156-12 edge through the air. GAHS finished the game plus-3 in turnover differential, but also managed only 40 rushing yards on 44 attempts. In a way, Penrod felt that this evening full of adversity had some similarity to the 2021 campaign in general. “The year was a rollercoaster from start to finish. We play three weeks and then we miss three weeks (due to COVID), then come back and play a really important game with Coal Grove down to the wire,” Penrod said. “That was the one that if we would have had a little momentum coming in instead of almost a month away from the field, it might have made a difference in the outcome that night and in where See BULLDOGS | 7 �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Bulldogs and they have been instrumental in building what we’ve done here the last four years.

That part was particularly tough for EHS coach Pat Newland to accept afterwards, but he was also quick to note that the Bulldogs had a lot to do with that problem too. “It’s been a great journey with these kids. These kids have never quit at any point in their careers, much like they didn’t quit tonight, and I am so proud of them for continuing to fight and scrape and claw until the end,” Newland said. “It’s frustrating when you can move the ball a little bit here and there and not have anything to show for it, but you also have to give East Knox a lot of credit for that because they have a pretty good football team over there with some speed. They are a four-seed for a reason.” The Bulldogs produced TD drives on their first four possessions, with Shane Knepp providing the eventual game-winning score on a 17-yard scamper with 7:56 left in the first quarter. Knepp then picked off a pass on Eastern’s ensuing drive and returned it 66 yards for a 13-0 edge with 4:05 remaining in the opener.

Over history, scientists say, it’s the United States that has pumped out the most climatedamaging pollution of any nation, as coal, diesel and gasoline powered the United States and other developed nations to wealth.
