A representative from the West COLUMBUS — Ohio hunters harvested 3,315 wild turkeys during the opening weekend of the south zone spring hunting season on April 23-24, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. According to a press release from ODNR, this is the second year that spring turkey season began on a Saturday instead of the traditional Monday opener. Ohio hunters checked 3,875 turkeys during the 2021 opening weekend. The average harvest during the ﬁrst two days of the previous three seasons is 3,974 birds. The top 10 counties for wild turkey harvest reported during the opening weekend of the 2022 south zone include: Guernsey (110), Harrison (104), Tuscarawas (104), Carroll (101), Belmont (93), Meigs (92), Adams (89), Brown (88), Jefferson (88), and Muskingum (86). The Division of Wildlife has issued 38,971 wild turkey permits that are valid throughout the spring hunting season. In addition to the opening weekend results, youth hunters harvested 1,103 wild turkeys during Ohio’s youth season on April 9-10, the releas stated. Wild turkey hunting in Ohio’s south zone is open until Sunday, May 22. Hunting in the northeast zone, comprised of Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties in Ohio’s snow belt, is open from Saturday, April 30 to Sunday, May 29. Find additional information in the current hunting regulations. The spring hunting season limit is one bearded wild turkey. A turkey is required to be checked no later than 11:30 p.m. the day of harvest using the HuntFish OH mobile app, the automated gamecheck system, by phone at 877-TAG-IT-OH (877824-4864), or at a participating license agent. The free HuntFish OH mobile app provides convenient resources while out in the ﬁeld. HuntFish OH is available for Android and iOS users through the app store. Wild turkey hunters can use the app to check a harvest, even without a connection. When a hunter checks game without a clear signal, information is recorded and stored until moving to a location with better reception. Users can also purchase licenses and permits and view wildlife area maps through the app. Anyone interested in learning to hunt or See FIRE | 8 See TURKEY | 8 Courtesy photos The Meigs High School Baseball program recently received a $5,000 donation in memory of a former player, the late Jacob “Briar” Wolfe.

From boa constrictors and black fuzzy spiders to screaming monkeys, rodents, ﬁsh, and fowl of the air, there is sure to be someone who has one and calls it “Baby” with tears in their eyes, either from pride of ownership or grief when Baby joins its ancestors in Pet Heaven. Members of the Point Pleasant Writers Guild met recently and shared stories of their less exotic “Babies,” mostly of the canine species. However, one member, Phil Heck, claims to have as pets, 40-something cows under his care, if not in his house or garage. Carol Newberry shared her thoughts on pets with a description of her daughter’s “loved ones,” which include her pit bulls, chinchilla, rabbits, and ducks. She also told us about the bearded dragon that lives in Talia’s room — that would be her granddaughter’s big ugly lizard. Having recently spent some time at her daughter’s house, Newberry has decided they have way too much “poo” to deal with. When it comes to picking up and disposing of said “poo,” don’t count on her help. Thanks, but no thanks. No pets, no responsibilities, no “poo.” Since home became an empty nest when the last kid left, Marilyn Clarke and her husband have been “pet parents” of six precious dogs. Not all at once, mind you, but over the years. They have included Snoop, Piglet, Abby, Ziva, Molly and Maggie, all different in looks and personalities, and all much loved. The hardest part about having pets is dealing with their illnesses and short life spans, but oh, the joy they give while they live! With a different take on the subject, Kris Moore shared her story about a Golden Retriever who had the “misfortune” of being born with red fur. She was the last of the litter to be sold because of it. Her new owner, Moore, named her Lucy after Lucille Ball, the most famous redhead in show business. Moore’s story, “Lucy’s Memoirs,” was written in ﬁrst person as though by Lucy herself. Among other things, Lucy helped her “Mom” take dishes from the dish washer and dig out ﬂowers that grew in the yard. She showed the sofa “what for” by pulling its cushions onto the ﬂoor. At six months, they went to Puppy Kindergarten where Lucy stole treats belonging to the other dogs. She was far too curious and energetic to “sit” and “stay” and all that kind of thing. Needless to say, she and Mom ﬂunked Kindergarten. Sue Underwood shared her poem, “Barefoot Days,” about warm summer days of light and laughter. On a different subject altogether, Heck asked if he might read ﬁve memes which he had come across, and they are included here: “You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity; What one person receives without working for, another person has worked for without receiving; The government cannot give to anyone anything it has not taken from someone else; You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it,” and “When half the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when that half gets the idea that there is nothing to gain by working because someone else is going to get what they worked for, the end of that nation is in sight.” Let us just say that some fairly interesting roundtable discussions take place when writers gather. Also attending the meeting were Will Jeffers and April Pyles. The writing assignment for the next meeting has to do with incidents occurring while on the road: trafﬁc accidents, car breakdowns, road rage, keys locked in the car, etc. The Point Pleasant Writers Guild meets from noon to 2 p.m. on the ﬁrst and third Wednesdays of the month, in the conference room at the Mason County Library on Viand Street. All writers are invited to attend and share their work. Critiquing is optional. For further information, email us at ppwritersguild@ yahoo.com or visit: ppwritersguild.blogspot. com.

Former President Donald Trump said in September 2019 that the Energy Department canceled a pending phaseout of incandescent bulbs because “what’s saved is not worth it.” Advocates hailed the latest rule change, saying it would ensure that commonly used light bulbs meet an easily achieved efﬁciency standard. “This is a victory for consumers and for the climate — one that’s been white.

Rules ﬁnalized by the Energy Department will require manufacturers to sell energy-efﬁcient light bulbs, accelerating a longtime industry practice to use compact ﬂuorescent and LED bulbs that last 25 to 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs. The Trump administration had slowed an earlier phaseout of incandescents, saying it was targeting rules that burden businesses. Once the new rules are fully in place next year, consumers should save nearly $3 billion per year on their utility bills, the Energy Department said. The rules are projected to cut planet-warming carbon emissions by 222 million metric tons over the next 30 years, an amount equivalent to emissions generated by 28 million homes in one year, ofﬁcials said. “By raising energy efﬁciency standards for lightbulbs, we’re putting $3 billion back in the pockets of American consumers every year and substantially reducing domestic carbon emissions,” Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said in a statement Tuesday. “The lighting industry is already embracing more energy efﬁcient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future.” The new rules expand energy-efﬁciency requirements to more types of light bulbs and ban sale of bulbs that produce less than 45 lumens per watt — a measure of how much light is emitted for each unit of electricity. ness Project, said that while retailers will be able to sell inefﬁcient bulbs until July 2023, “responsible chains ought to get them off their shelves as soon as possible and certainly by the end of this year.’’ In 2020, about 30% of light bulbs sold in the United States were incandescent or halogen incandescent bulbs, according to industry groups. The new rule bars manufacture or importation of incandescent bulbs as of Jan. 1. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association said in statement that LED lighting, “spurred by research scientists and lighting manufacturers,” has been fully embraced by consumers and is “an unqualiﬁed success.’’ The manufacturers group “appreciates the administration’s recognition of the challenges industry faces in complying” with the new rule and its “adoption of a more manageable compliance timeframe” than earlier proposals, said spokesman Spencer Pederson.

Maj. Gen. William Cooley, 56, was found guilty Saturday in what was the ﬁrst-ever military trial of an Air Force general. The weeklong courtmartial at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio had three speciﬁcations, one accusing Cooley of a forcible kiss and two alleging forcible touching in 2018. Cooley Wesley Farnsworth | U.S. Air Force via AP U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. William T. Cooley was convicted, Saturday, by a military judge of one of three specifications of abusive sexual contact in the first-ever military trial of an Air Force general. On Tuesday he was told he would receive a reprimand and must forfeit $10,910 of monthly pay for five months. was convicted of the forcible kissing speciﬁcation but acquitted of the other two. Cooley had the option of a trial by court member jurors or by military judge, and chose to have the case heard by the judge. He had faced a maximum punishment of dismissal, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and conﬁnement for seven years. Speaking after the sentencing hearing, Cooley’s civilian attorney, Dan Conway, told The Dayton Daily News that his client is “very thankful for the judge’s compassion here.” Conway said the punishment was “a very signiﬁcant sentence,” and he said a letter of reprimand may have implications in terms of the rank at which Cooley will be allowed to retire, if he chooses to do so. A former commander of Air Force Research Laboratory, Cooley was ﬁred from that post in January 2020 after an Air Force investigation and has worked in an administrative job since then. Conway said it’s still Cooley’s hope that he may continue serving in the Air Force. Ofﬁcials said the verdict marked the ﬁrst court-martial trial and conviction of a general ofﬁcer in the Air Force’s 75-year history. Cooley’s monthly pay is $15,966, so the total ﬁnancial penalty against him reaches nearly $55,000. “If this result inﬂuenced just one survivor to know that his or her attacker’s rank or status would not prevent them from being held accountable, that is a win for the United States and the military justice system,” Lt. Col. Matthew Neil, who served as lead prosecutor, said Tuesday. Cooley was charged with abusive sexual contact in an encounter with a woman who gave him a ride after a backyard barbecue in New Mexico nearly four years ago. Ofﬁcials said the woman is a civilian who is not a Department of Defense employee. In a statement issued after the verdict was handed down Saturday, the woman’s attorney Ryan Guilds, said the ruling “marks the ﬁrst time an Air Force general ofﬁcer has been held responsible for his heinous actions … Hopefully, this will not be as difﬁcult for the next survivor.” Harris positive for Russia’s war heats up cooking oil prices COVID-19, Biden not ‘close contact’ By Dee-Ann Durbin, Ayse Wieting and Kelvin Chan Associated Press By Zeke Miller Associated Press WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, the White House announced, underscoring the persistence of the highly contagious virus even as the Harris U.S. eases restrictions in a bid to return to pre-pandemic normalcy. Harris press secretary Kirsten Allen said neither President Joe Biden nor ﬁrst lady Jill Biden was considered a “close contact” of Harris in recent days. Harris had been scheduled to attend Biden’s Tuesday morning Presidential Daily Brief but was not present, the White House said. Because of their travel schedules, the last time Harris saw Biden was Monday, April 18. The vice president returned on Monday from a weeklong trip to the West Coast. Harris tested positive on both rapid and PCR tests but “has exhibited no symptoms,” the White House said. She will isolate at her residence but continue to work remotely, and will return to the White House only when she tests negative for the virus. The White House said Biden phoned Harris on Tuesday afternoon shortly after her diagnosis to make sure she “has everything she needs” while isolating at home. Harris, 57, received her ﬁrst dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine weeks before taking ofﬁce and a second dose just days after Inauguration Day in 2021. She received a booster shot in late October and an additional booster on Fire From page 1 Virginia State Fire Marshal’s Ofﬁce was on the scene and ruled the cause of the ﬁre as undetermined. It remains under investigation, Wood said. Also lost in the blaze were two dogs and a April 1. Fully vaccinated and boosted people have a high degree of protection against serious illness and death from COVID-19, particularly from the most common and highly transmissible omicron variant. Harris’ diagnosis comes a month after her husband, Doug Emhoff, recovered from the virus, as a wave of cases of the highly transmissible omicron subvariant has spread through Washington’s political class, infecting Cabinet members, White House staffers and lawmakers including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., tested positive on Tuesday, his ofﬁce said. Allen said Harris would follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines “and the advice of her physicians.” It was not immediately clear whether she is being prescribed any antiviral treatments. The White House has put in place strict COVID-19 protocols around the president, vice president and their spouses, including daily testing for those expected to be in close contact with them. Biden is tested regularly on the advice of his physician, the White House has said, and last tested negative on Monday. “We have a very very contagious variant out there,” said White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Aashish Jha on Tuesday. “It is going to be hard to ensure that no one gets COVID in America. That’s not even a policy goal.” He said the administration’s goal is to make sure people don’t get seriously ill. cat.

ISTANBUL — For months, Istanbul restaurant Tarihi Balikca tried to absorb the surging cost of the sunﬂower oil its cooks use to fry ﬁsh, squid and mussels. But in early April, with oil prices nearly four times higher than they were in 2019, the restaurant ﬁnally raised its prices. Now, even some longtime customers look at the menu and walk away. “We resisted. We said, ‘Let’s wait a bit, maybe the market will improve, maybe (prices) will stabilize. But we saw that there is no improvement,” said Mahsun Aktas, a waiter and cook at the restaurant. “The customer cannot afford it.” Global cooking oil prices have been rising since the COVID-19 pandemic began for multiple reasons, from poor harvests in South America to virus-related labor shortages and steadily increasing demand from the biofuel industry. The war in Ukraine — which supplies nearly half of the world’s sunﬂower oil, on top of the 25% from Russia — has interrupted shipments and sent cooking oil prices spiraling. It is the latest fallout to the global food supply from Russia’s war, and another rising cost pinch- Kirsty Wigglesworth | AP A piece of battered fish is dropped into hot sunflower oil to make traditional fish and chips at Olleys Fish Experience in Herne Hill in London. Global cooking oil prices have been rising since the COVID-19 pandemic began and Russia’s war in Ukraine has sent costs spiralling. ing households and businesses as inﬂation soars. The conﬂict has further fueled already high food and energy costs, hitting the poorest people hardest. The food supply is particularly at risk as the war has disrupted crucial grain shipments from Ukraine and Russia and worsened a global fertilizer crunch that will mean costlier, less abundant food. The loss of affordable supplies of wheat, barley and other grains raises the prospect of food shortages and political instability in Middle Eastern, African and some Asian countries where millions rely on subsidized bread and cheap noodles. Vegetable oil prices hit a record high in February, then increased another 23% in March, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. Soybean oil, which sold for $765 per metric ton in 2019, was averaging $1,957 per metric ton in March, the World Bank said. Palm oil prices were up 200% and are set to go even higher after Indonesia, one of the world’s top producers, bans cooking oil exports starting Thursday to protect domestic supply. Some supermarkets in Turkey have imposed limits on the amount of vegetable oil households can purchase after concerns about shortages sparked panic-buying. Some stores in Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom also have set limits. German shoppers are posting photos on social media of empty shelves where sunﬂower and canola oil usually sit. In a recent tweet, Kenya’s main power company warned that thieves are draining toxic ﬂuid from electrical transformers and reselling it as cooking oil. “We will just have to boil everything now, the days of the frying pan are gone,” said Glaudina Nyoni, scanning prices in a supermarket in Harare, Zimbabwe, where vegetable oil costs have almost doubled since the outbreak of the war. A 2-liter bottle now costs up to $9.

I did not expect made from infections, not it to increase quite this vaccines. They found that much,” said Dr. Kristie Clarke, co-leader of a signs of past infection CDC team that tracks the extent of coronavirus infections. The older people were, the less likely they had evidence of past infections, the study found. For those 65 and older, 19% had signs of prior infection in December and 33% did in February. That may be because older adults have higher vaccination rates and they may be more likely to take other COVID-19 precautions, such as wearing masks and avoiding crowds, Clarke said. Clarke said the tests can detect antibodies for one to two years after infection, and possibly longer. Studies have shown previous infection can protect some people against severe disease and hospitalization, but CDC ofﬁcials stressed that the previously infected should still get COVID-19 vaccines. The study looked for any detectable level of antibodies; it did not distinguish how many people had antibody levels that might be protective. Scientists are still trying to understand what role these kinds of antibodies play in protection from future virus exposures. started, hunting-related workshops, as well as special hunting opportunities for mentors and new hunters. Wild turkeys were extirpated in Ohio by 1904 and were reintroduced in the 1950s by the Division of Wildlife, according to ODNR. Ohio’s ﬁrst modern-day turkey season opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked 12 birds. The turkey harvest topped 1,000 for the ﬁrst time in 1984. Spring turkey hunting opened statewide in 2000, and Ohio hunters checked more than 20,000 turkeys for the ﬁrst time that year.
