OHIO BRIEFS MEIGS BRIEFS Car crashes into pool CENTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Police say a car smashed through the window of a health club in Ohio and landed in its swimming pool, injuring one person who was in the water. Authorities in the Dayton suburb of Centerville say the person in the pool and the driver were taken to a hospital Monday, but police say their injuries are not serious. Investigators are not sure yet what caused the crash. A member of the LA Fitness club tells the Dayton Daily News that he came out the ﬁtness center and saw a car in the pool . Jim Lee says he’s just glad there wasn’t a class with 30 or 40 people in the pool. Abortion clinic appeals KETTERING, Ohio (AP) — An abortion provider has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to reverse a lower court ruling that would force it to close. The Women’s Med Center in Kettering made the request after the top court refused to hear an appeal from the clinic in August. The state’s Department of Health in 2016 ordered the clinic to close because it can’t obtain a written patienttransfer agreement from local hospitals. The Dayton Daily News reports the clinic is the Dayton area’s only remaining abortion provider.

IN BRIEF Flights idle over strike LONDON (AP) — British Airways has canceled almost all its ﬂights for 48 hours, affecting as many as 195,000 travelers, due to a strike by pilots over pay. The U.K.’s ﬂagship carrier said in a statement Monday that it had “no way of predicting how many (pilots) would come to work or which aircraft they are qualiﬁed to ﬂy.” As a result, it said it had “no option but to cancel nearly 100%” of its ﬂights for the duration of the strike. British Airways operates up to 850 ﬂights a day. London’s sprawling Heathrow Airport was most affected by the work stoppage as it is the airline’s hub and is used for many of the company’s long-haul international ﬂights. The sprawling departure area at Heathrow Terminal 5 was almost empty, with only a handful of BA ﬂights set to leave on Monday. There were no queues at any of the check-in desks or security gates and only a handful of people waiting on benches. The terminal is typically quite busy. Paul attacker resentenced FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A federal appeals court has vacated the 30-day prison sentence given to the man who tackled U.S. Sen. Rand Paul outside his Kentucky home in 2017. The three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ordered a resentencing for Rene Boucher. Federal prosecutors appealed the sentence, saying 21 months would have been appropriate. The appeals court took no position on an appropriate sentence, saying the district court judge retains “ample discretion.” The senator was tackled by Boucher, who lived next door to Paul at the time, when Boucher became angry over lawn maintenance at Paul’s home. The attack broke several of Paul’s ribs. Paul recently underwent lung surgery in a procedure he said stemmed from the attack. Boucher pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Tuesday, September 10, 2019 3 Trump says peace talks with Taliban are now ‘dead’ By Deb Riechmann, Matthew Lee and Robert Burns Associated Press WASHINGTON — U.S. peace talks with the Taliban are now “dead,” President Donald Trump declared Monday, one day after he abruptly canceled a secret meeting he had arranged with Taliban and Afghan leaders aimed at ending America’s longest war. Trump’s remark to reporters at the White House suggested he sees no point in resuming a nearly yearlong effort to reach a political settlement with the Taliban, whose protection of al-Qaida extremists in Afghanistan prompted the U.S. to invade after the 9/11 attacks. Asked about the peace talks, Trump said, “They’re dead. They’re dead. As far as I’m concerned, they’re dead.” It’s unclear whether Trump will go ahead with planned U.S. troop cuts and how the collapse of his talks will play out in deeply divided Afghanistan. In his remarks to reporters Monday, Trump said his administration is “looking at” whether to proceed with troop reductions that had been one element of the preliminary deal with the Taliban struck by presidential envoy Zalmay Khalilzad. “We’d like to get out, but we’ll get out at the right time,” Trump said. What had seemed like a potential deal to end America’s longest war unraveled, with Trump and the Taliban blaming each other for the collapse of nearly a year of U.S.-Taliban negotiations in Doha, Qatar. The insurgents are now promising more bloodshed, and American advocates of withdrawing from the battleﬁeld questioned on Monday whether Trump’s decision to cancel what he called plans for a secret meeting with Taliban and Afghan leaders at the Camp David, Maryland, presidential retreat over the weekend had poisoned the prospects for peace. “The Camp David ploy appears to have been an attempt to satisfy Trump’s obsession with carefully curated public spectacles -- to seal the deal, largely produced by special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and Taliban negotiators, with the president’s imprimatur,” said John Glaser director of foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute. Trump has been talking of a need to withdraw U.S. troops from the “endless war” in Afghanistan since his 2016 presidential campaign. And he said anew in a tweet on Monday, “We have been serving as policemen in Afghanistan, and that was not meant to be the job of our Great Soldiers, the ﬁnest on earth.” He added, without explanation, “Over the last four days, we have been hitting our Enemy harder than at any time in the last ten years.” There has been no evidence of a major U.S. military escalation. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended Trump’s weekend moves. “When the Taliban tried to gain negotiating advantage by conducting terror attacks inside of the country, President Trump made the right decision to say that’s not going to work,” Pompeo Andrew Harnik | AP President Donald Trump takes a question from a reporter on the South Lawn of the White House Monday in Washington, before boarding Marine One for a short trip to Andrews Air Force Base, Md., and then on to North Carolina. said Sunday. Trump said he called off negotiations because of a recent Taliban bombing in Kabul that killed a U.S. service member, even though nine other Americans have died since June 25 in Talibanorchestrated violence. But the emerging agreement had started unraveling days earlier after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani postponed his trip to Washington and the Taliban refused to travel to the U.S. before a deal was signed, according to a former senior Afghan ofﬁcial. As Trump’s re-election campaign heats up, his quest to withdraw the remaining 13,000 to 14,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan remains unfulﬁlled — so far. At the Pentagon, spokesman Jonathan Hoffman declined Mon- day to comment on the outlook for the administration’s plan to reduce the U.S. troop level in Afghanistan to 8,600. Democrats said Trump’s decision to nix a deal with the Taliban was evidence that he was moving too quickly to get one. Far from guaranteeing a cease-ﬁre, the deal only included Taliban commitments to reduce violence in Kabul and neighboring Parwan province, where the U.S. has a military base. The Taliban have refused to negotiate with the Afghan government it sees as illegitimate and a puppet of the West. So, the Trump administration tried another approach, negotiating with the Taliban ﬁrst to get a deal that would lead to Taliban talks with Afghans inside and outside the government. A U.S. ofﬁcial familiar with the Taliban negotiations said the “very closely held” idea of a Camp David meeting was ﬁrst discussed up to a week and a half ago. The ofﬁcial spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations. Some administration ofﬁcials, including national security adviser John Bolton, did not back the agreement with the Taliban as it was written, the ofﬁcial said. They didn’t think the Taliban can be trusted. Bolton advised the president to draw down the U.S. force to 8,600 — enough to counter terror threats — and “let it be” until a better deal could be hammered out, the ofﬁcial said. Khalilzad, the lead U.S. negotiator, recently announced that he had reached an agreement in principle with the Taliban. Under the deal, the U.S. would withdraw about 5,000 U.S. troops within 135 days of signing. In exchange, the insurgents agreed to reduce violence and prevent Afghanistan from being used as a launch pad for global terror attacks, including from a local Islamic State afﬁliate and al-Qaida. Pompeo said the Taliban agreed to break with al-Qaida — something that past administrations have failed to get the Taliban to do. The insurgent group hosted al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden as he masterminded the 9/11 attacks in 2001. After the attacks, the U.S. ousted the Taliban, which had ruled Afghanistan with a harsh version of Islamic law from 1996 to 2000.

The Gallia Citizen’s for Prevention and Recovery Suicide Amy Prevention Committee is participatSisson ing in the #BeThe1To campaign this Contributing year to spread awareness. The mescolumnist sage is that each person can be the one to ask how someone is doing, to be the one to keep them safe, to be the one to be there for them, to be the one to help them connect, and to be the one to follow up to help make sure they continue to improve. All community members can help prevent suicide, which is the most preventable kind of death. September is Suicide Awareness Prevention Month and World Suicide Prevention day is September 10th. Appalachian counties in Ohio are currently experiencing some of the highest rates of suicide in the state. Some blame ﬁnancial strains, the drug epidemic, or other challenges that Appalachians face. One thing is certain: the common theme for people thinking about suicide is a sense of hopelessness. Many people experience disruptions in their mental health leading to hopelessness at some point in their lives. This can be due to relationship problems, experiencing loss, changes in phase of life, or mental illness, to name a few. One way to help the cause of suicide prevention is by reducing stigma. Stigma is a negative connotation attached to someone, often for something they have no control over. The way we talk about mental health as a society can discourage or encourage others when they need professional services. One way to reduce stigma, and encourage someone to get help is to avoid using words like “crazy” or other demeaning terms to describe a mental health problem. Stigma can also be reduced by an individual being supportive when someone reaches out for help, rather than shaming them or telling them they should just be able to ﬁgure it out. We can combat stigma by speaking openly about mental health, showing compassion, educating ourselves and others, and speaking up when we hear others participating in stigmatizing language or behavior. By showing support and encouraging treatment, someone is more likely to get the help they need, which can lead to avoiding a suicide attempt. There are warning signs for suicide that anyone can watch for, and there are ways to reach out when you notice someone may be having suicidal thoughts. Warning signs may include the person stating they want to die or looking for ways to die; talking about being stuck or having unbearable pain; talking about being a burden to loved ones; putting affairs in order; stockpiling the means to harm oneself; giving away prized possessions; relapse from addiction recovery; using more alcohol or drugs than they usually do; sudden mood changes; becoming anxious, agitated or reckless; a change in sleep patterns; becoming isolated; and experiencing rage or wanting revenge. Some groups are more at risk for suicide, such as senior citizens, veterans, active service members, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Just because you see a warning sign or risk factor does not necessarily mean that a person is suicidal, but it’s worth asking to ﬁnd out. And the more warning signs there are, the more at risk they are. Some people are afraid to ask if their loved one is suicidal because they are afraid it will plant an idea in their head, but research shows that an individual is not more likely to die by suicide if someone has asked them about it. Actually, most people feel a sense of relief and their anxiety is decreased after someone asks them if they are suicidal. It shows them that someone cares. Recently many in our community have had the opportunity to learn how to help prevent suicide through QPR Gatekeeper trainings. QPR is a method that involves learning how to ask questions, how to persuade others to get help, and how to refer to the appropriate source of help. This training is available to any organization that would like its members to learn how to become gatekeepers in our community, protecting others from the risk of suicide. Please call 740-446-4612 extension 1258 if you would like to learn more about scheduling a training. Ask your struggling friends if they’re ok. Ask your strong friends if they’re ok. Offer hope in any form. If you’re not ok, reach out for support. For more information, please visit the Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation at ohiospf.org. If you need assistance now, text “4Hope” to 741741, or call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Help and hope are available.

THEIR VIEW The making of a military family I have always had the greatest respect for the men and women who currently serve, or have served, our country in the military. In November 2005, Ray Souder, Director of our local Veterans Services Commission, and Cliff Rosenberger came to a county commissioners meeting and asked a simple question: “Why don’t we have one county memorial that recognizes everyone who has ever served in the military?” No one had a good answer to their question. There were numerous memorials throughout the county recognizing military service, but none that honored every veteran from Clinton County. After the meeting, I walked over to Ray’s ofﬁce. We talked about the question: We talked about the possibility of building such a memorial. Together, we had more questions than answers, but on that day, there in Ray’s ofﬁce, we committed to starting the project. We committed to recruiting a group of like-minded people. We committed to getting the project completed. Three years later, it was ﬁnished.

The grant will allow the Innovation Center to add new biotechnology laboratories and light manufacturing spaces as well as improve several features of the building, including the heating system, ﬂooring, access control and virtual conferencing technology. The upgrades will enhance the incubator’s ability to provide service to entrepreneurs in southeastern Ohio. In addition to supporting the retention of more than 300 jobs supported by the Innova- tion Center, the infrastructure improvements are expected to result in the creation of 10 new businesses and 100 new jobs within three years of project completion. Based on exhaustive data research completed as part of the project’s feasibility study, it is expected that these new jobs will pay a higher than average wage for the region. The Innovation Center currently has seven fully occupied biotechnology laboratories. Demand for lab space from biotechnology and life science companies is on the rise, said Stacy Strauss, director of the Innovation Center. The new grant is funded through the Economic Development Administration’s Assistance to Coal Communities program. It assists communities severely impacted by the declining use of coal through activities and programs that support economic diversiﬁcation, job creation, capital investment, workforce development and re-employment opportunities. “We are so grateful for the conﬁdence that the Economic Development Administration and Ohio University have shown in the Ohio University Innovation Center as demonstrated by this major grant award,” Strauss said. “We look forward to our continued work in support of the region’s entrepreneurs, providing exceptional upgraded incubation space, and exceeding our projected metrics.” Ohio University is providing an additional $287,684 in funds for the project. Revival “The Ohio University Innovation Center is one of the top business incubators in the country, and we are incredibly proud of the positive impact it is having on its businesses and on the region,” Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. “This grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce combined with university funding will allow our Innovation Center to keep improving its facilities in order to better assist entrepreneurs in southeast Ohio.” The Innovation Center is the recipient of the 2019 Randall M. Whaley Incubator of the Year Award (InBIA) and the 2019 Rural-Based Entrepreneurship Center of the Year Award (InBIA).

King has been telling the story of the 16th president during the American Civil War. John is a full-sized, ﬁrst person portrayer of Lincoln at 6 feet, 4 inches. He gives a brief look at Lincoln’s life from the log cabin to the White House. His presentation can be from 15 minutes to an hour in length, followed by questions and answers. As a retired teacher, John educates his audience in a most entertaining manner. He has brought Lincoln to life for school students, historical groups, civic groups, churches, clubs, a Law Day dinner, birthday party, Civil War rededications, festivals, and Memorial Day parades. Group size has ranged from as few as 10 people, to as many as 350 students. At the Lake County Law Day Dinner, “President Lincoln” spoke for 15 minutes about his education and legal training, followed by questions and answers. He was asked if he thought a former slave could ever be elected president. His response was, “Probably not,but who would have thought someone born in a log cabin Information provided by Ohio University. OU recognized as value college by U.S. News ATHENS — Ohio University is considered one of the Most Innovative Schools and Best Value Schools in the latest rankings released by U.S. News & World Report. OU was one of three universities in the state to make the Most Innovative Schools list, tying for 77th nationally in the annual report. The ranking is based solely on top academics’ responses to the U.S. News survey. “This ranking enables top college ofﬁcials to pick schools that the public should be watching because of the cutting-edge changes the colleges are making on their campuses,” the U.S. News methodology reads. The survey was conducted earlier in 2019. OU also ranked third in the state for Best Value Schools, tying for 122nd nationally. Only schools who ranked in the top half of the Best College rankings were considered. Inclusion on the Best Value list was determined by standardizing the scores achieved by each school, then weighting and summing the scores. “It’s an honor to be formally recognized for the value we bring to our students, as well as for the innovative efforts we have made to provide the best educational experience for our students,” Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis said. “As higher education continues to evolve, we pride ourselves in staying on the leading edge of that transformation to deliver high-quality educational opportunities that prepare our students to succeed in their careers and their lives.” OU was also ranked once again among the Best Undergraduate Business schools (tied for 128th) and Best Undergraduate Engineering schools (tied for 134th). In the overall rankings, OU was 92nd nationally among top public universities, U.S. News reported. OU was also included on U.S. News’ A+ for B Students listing based on the overall rankings and the average freshman retention rate. Inclusion on the A+ Schools for B Students is based on the average retention rate for students entering college between Fall 2014 and Fall 2017. Schools on the list also had to admit a meaningful proportion of students who didn’t get straight A’s in high school. Information provided by Ohio University.

Some say that maybe no First Lady is more misunderstood than Mary Todd Lincoln. Her life was tragic, some say, from beginning to end - ﬁlled with loss, public criticism, and hatred. Outspoken and emphatic in her views, Mary was politically active during a time when this was unacceptable behavior for a woman. Mary Todd was born to a prominent family in Lexington, Ky., on December 13, 1818. When she was six, her mother died. Her father remarried a younger woman and Mary had a difﬁcult relationship with her stepmother. From her father’s two marriages, she had a total of 14 siblings. Highly educated, capricious, and politically savvy, she was never boring historians say. Mary was courted by several gentlemen, but wed Abraham (nine years older) on Nov. 4, 1842 at her sister Elizabeth’s house in Springﬁeld, Ill. They had four sons, Robert Todd, Edward Baker, William Wallace (Willie), and Thomas (Tad) – three of which died before Mary. Mary lost favor with the American public during her husband’s presidency because of her Southern roots and her over-spending on Executive Mansion redecorating. The pressures of Civil War, slanderous newspaper articles, and losing two children while in the White House strained her marriage and mental stability. After witnessing her husband’s assassination in 1865, Mary was understandably, some say, a broken woman. Tests Information submitted by GCCVB.

Nearly halfway through Friday’s non-conference football game at Albertsons Stadium, the Marshall University football team was ahead of No. 24 Boise State by a touchdown. The Broncos, however, tied the game with 10 seconds left in the ﬁrst half, then scored the go-ahead touchdown just 1:33 into the second, and BSU held on for the 14-7 victory. Marshall (1-1) committed the games ﬁrst turnover, fumbling the ball away on its own 33 with 4:16 left in the opening period. The Thundering Herd defense allowed Boise State (2-0) one yard over three plays, and the Broncos came up short on a 49-yard ﬁeld goal attempt. The guests took advantage of the missed kick, traveling 68 yards in ﬁve plays and 1:55, with Brenden Knox delivering the touchdown run from six yards out. Justin Rohrwasser’s extra-point kick gave Marshall a 7-0 lead with 55 seconds left in the opening quarter. MU punted on its next two possessions in the ﬁrst half, the second of which gave BSU the ball at their own 12-yard line and 3:53 left. The Broncos used all-but 10 seconds to cover the 88 yards in nine plays, with freshman quarterback Hank Bachmeier converting a third-and-11 with his legs, then ﬁnding Khalil Shakir for a 45-yard pass to the MU two, and ﬁnally punching in for the touchdown from a yard out. Joel Velazquez made his ﬁrst of two point-after kicks, tying the game at seven headed into the half. The Broncos began the second half on their own 28-yard line, but were in Herd territory after the ﬁrst play from scrimmage, as Bachmeier completed a 24-yard pass to Garrett Collingham. Three plays later, Bachmeier found John Hightower for a 47-yard touchdown pass, giving the hosts a 14-7 edge with 13:27 left in the third quarter. The Thundering Herd only made it to the BSU side of the ﬁeld once in the second half, and were stopped 46 yards from paydirt. Marshall’s defense found a variety of ways to keep the Broncos from adding on, stopping them on fourth down, recovering a fumble, intercepting a pass and forcing a punt.

Blue Devils burn River Valley By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BIDWELL, Ohio — The streak reaches three … with an accomplishment 18 years in the making. The Gallia Academy football team posted back-to-back shutouts to start a season for the ﬁrst time since 2001 while also claiming its third consecutive Ohio Valley Bank Community Bowl victory on Friday night with a 38-0 decision over host River Valley in a Week 2 non-conference matchup of Gallia County programs. The visiting Blue Devils (2-0) needed just 15 offensive snaps to build a 21-0 ﬁrst quarter lead, which helped set the tone on the program’s third consecutive regular season shutout. The Raiders (0-2), however, made some adjustments and showed some signs of life after limiting the Blue and White to just three points over the next two quarters for a 24-0 contest headed into the ﬁnale. Gallia Academy strung together a scoring drive with 10:37 left in regulation, which forced a running clock the rest of the way with a 31-0 advantage. The Blue Devils tacked on one more scoring drive with 3:06 left to wrap up the 38-point triumph. Gallia Academy — following a 24-0 victory at Meigs in the season opener — has now won nine consecutive decisions in the regular season. River Valley senior Jordan Burns (1) releases a pass during the first half of Saturday night’s Week 2 football contest against Gallia Academy in Bidwell, Ohio. GAHS also picked up its second straight shutout win over the Silver and Black while improving to 3-2 overall in the ﬁve-year OVB Community Bowl matchup. The Blue Devils — who also improved to 12-3 all-time against the Raiders — used a balanced approach that resulted in a 332-248 edge in total yards while also ﬁnishing plus-2 in turnover differential. Despite a little bit of an offensive lull in the middle frames, Gallia Academy coach Alex Penrod — who was a senior at Logan the last time the Blue Devils started the season with consecutive shutouts — was pleased with overall effort of his troops. Penrod also noted that there is still room for improvement, particularly with a huge home opener looming in six days. “I’m just proud of our men for continuing to buy in and believe in this program. It’s good to start the season 2-0 and get another OVB Community Bowl trophy. It’s going to stay in our trophy case for years to come and it’s something that we can hang our hats on,” Penrod said. “I want to give a shout out to Coach Peck and his kids, because the scoreboard doesn’t show how well River Valley played. They gave us a different look up front in the second quarter and it gave us some ﬁts, but we were able to adjust on the ﬂy. It wasn’t a pretty win for us offensively, but we were able to get the job done. “We still have a ways to go from where we want to be, but we do have two shutouts to start the season … and I don’t know the last time a Gallia Academy team could make that statement. It was a complete team win in all three phases, and we’ll deﬁnitely need four quarters of that next week when we face a program like Point Pleasant. It’s their ﬁrst game and our home opener, and this is what rivalry games are all about. It’s going to be a big one.” RVHS coach Jason Peck acknowledged that Gallia Academy’s speed deﬁnitely presented problems, but he also felt that his squad showed signs of growth as the night progressed. His wish, however, is to see his troops put four quarters together in a collective fashion. When that happens, the second-year mentor believes this team will turn a signiﬁcant corner. “Honestly, we haven’t seen a lot of the spread offense in preseason or at Coal Grove last week. We’ve kind of dealt with the battle in the box, so to speak. It’s just so hard to simulate that kind of speed … and it showed early on,” Peck said. “Once we got settled in, I felt like we started to compete and did some positive things. We didn’t quit, and I give the kids credit for that because See DEVILS | 7 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Blue Angels sweep River Valley Bobcats From page 6 By Alex Hawley 13 kills on their way to the 25-21 win.

The Raiders were forced to punt on their ensuing drive, and the guests followed with a 3-play drive that covered 45 yards. James Armstrong capped the drive with a 4-yard run at the 3:18 mark for a 14-0 advantage. Michael Beasy picked off a pass on the ensuing River Valley drive, then the guests covered 10 yards in three plays as Daneuvyn Woodson hauled in a 4-yard TD pass from Vanco for a 21-0 edge with 33.2 seconds left in the opening frame. The next three possessions resulted in a loss of downs, then Cole Young recovered a GAHS fumble before Trent Johnson got the ball back for the guests on an interception with 39.9 seconds left in the half. Starting at their own 48, the Blue Devils managed to move the ball down to the RVHS 29 with one second remaining until halftime. Andrew Toler successfully converted a 46-yard ﬁeld goal as the ﬁrst half clock expired, allowing the Blue and White to take a 24-0 cushion into the break. Gallia Academy claimed a 212-157 edge in total yards and were also plus-1 in turnover differential in the ﬁrst half. The guests also had a 9-4 advantage in ﬁrst downs and held a slim 141-137 lead in rushing yards. The second half started with a trio of drives that ultimately resulted in a loss of downs, but the Blue Devils started a 9-play, 61-yard drive that led to points with 3:02 remaining in the third period. Armstrong received a pitch and went around the right side on fourthand-three, covering 14 yards before ending up in the end zone with 10:37 remaining. The score made it a 31-0 contest … and started a continuous clock with a 30-point advantage.
