Multiple fires reported
By Lorna Hart
Special to OVP

LETART — The Racine Fire Department received a 911 call from the Letart
Falls area at 2:48 a.m., Sunday morning,
and upon responding reportedly found
multiple ﬁres that included two residential
structures (one with a former auto repair
garage attached), and a vehicle ablaze.
The two unoccupied structures were
reportedly on Letart Road and Bucktown
Road, respectively, the vehicle was in the
yard of a private residence on Letart Road.
Responders were able to contain the ﬁres
and no injuries were reported. The structures and vehicle were reportedly completely destroyed.
Fireﬁghters with the Ravenswood Fire
Department arrived on the scene with
additional water for the Racine unit.
Bashan and Syracuse ﬁre departments
were also on hand and staged to respond

in the event more ﬁres occurred.
“When we arrived at the scene of multiple ﬁres, we wanted to have responders
in place in case additional ﬁres broke
out,” said Scott Hill, from the Racine Fire
Department. “It appeared someone was
setting the ﬁres, and we didn’t know if
there might be more, and we wanted to be
ready.”
A ﬁre also reportedly broke out in a
camper and vehicle on Lovett Road in
Portland on Sunday morning with Racine,
Bashan, Syracuse, and Chester ﬁre departments responding.
According to Hill, the Meigs County
Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and the Division of State
Fire Marshal’s ofﬁce have been advised of
the ﬁres. More information on this story
will be reported as it becomes available.

Track events at Gallia Fair canceled
By Kayla Hawthorne

khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Fair Board announced the cancellation of track events at the fair over
the weekend.
On Friday evening, the board made
a social media post announcing that
track events — including truck and
tractor pulls — would be canceled at
this year’s Gallia County Junior Fair.
“We have been working with our
local health department and at this
time, with the mandatory mask
requirements and the social distancing requirements, we can not assure

them that they can be followed and
enforced,” the post read.
Earlier in the month, the fair board
said they were going to focus on the
junior fair livestock shows and have a
few track events.
Without the events at the track,
the schedule only features livestock
shows, tobacco and crop judging, the
“ofﬁcial opening” on Monday evening with the queen pageant, and the
livestock and tobacco sale on Friday.
The only event that was previously
scheduled for Saturday at the fair was
the truck pulls.

The Pickaway and
Clinton county fairs are
investigating separate
COVID-19 outbreaks.
The Clinton County
Health District is investigating a “cluster” of
cases from people who
attended the fair, which
ran from July 11 to July
18.
A spokesman for the
department said he’s
aware of at least three
cases, though the investigation is ongoing.
The Columbus Dispatch reported Thursday
that 22 cases of COVID19, and one possible
death, trace back to
attendees of the Pickaway County Fair last
month.
A report from the
health department found
there was a lack of implementation of infection
control precautions like
requiring masks and limiting crowd sizes.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Associated Press

Today is Tuesday,
July 28, the 210th day
of 2020. There are 156
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On July 28, 1945, the
U.S. Senate ratiﬁed the
United Nations Charter
by a vote of 89-2.
On this date:
In 1794, Maximilien
Robespierre, a leading
ﬁgure of the French
Revolution, was sent to
the guillotine.
In 1914, World War
I began as AustriaHungary declared war
on Serbia.
In 1929, Jacqueline
Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was born in Southampton, N.Y.
In 1932, federal
troops forcibly dispersed the so-called
“Bonus Army” of World
War I veterans who had
gathered in Washington
to demand payments
they weren’t scheduled
to receive until 1945.
In 1943, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
announced the end of
coffee rationing, which
had limited people to
one pound of coffee
every ﬁve weeks since it
began in Nov. 1942.
In 1945, a U.S. Army
bomber crashed into
the 79th ﬂoor of New
York’s Empire State
Building, killing 14
people.
In 1959, in preparation for statehood,
Hawaiians voted to
send the ﬁrst ChineseAmerican, Republican
Hiram L. Fong, to the
U.S. Senate and the ﬁrst
Japanese-American,
Democrat Daniel K.
Inouye, to the U.S.
House of Representatives.
In 1976, an earthquake devastated
northern China, killing
at least 242,000 people,
according to an ofﬁcial
estimate.
In 1984, the Los
Angeles Summer Olympics opened.
In 1989, Israeli commandos abducted a proIranian Shiite Muslim
cleric, Sheik AbdulKarim Obeid, from his
home in south Lebanon.
(He was released in
January 2004 as part of
a prisoner swap.)
In 2016, Hillary
Clinton accepted the
Democratic presidential nomination at the
party’s convention in
Philadelphia, where she
cast herself as a uniﬁer
for divided times as
well as an experienced
leader steeled for a
volatile world while
aggressively challenging Republican Donald
Trump’s ability to lead.
In 2017, the Senate
voted 51-49 to reject
Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell’s last-ditch
effort to dismantle President Barack Obama’s
health care overhaul
with a trimmed-down
bill. John McCain, who
was about to begin
treatments for a brain
tumor, joined two other
GOP senators in voting against the repeal
effort.

Five years ago:
President Barack
Obama wrapped up his
trip to Kenya and Ethiopia in Addis Ababa,
where he urged African
leaders to leave ofﬁce
peacefully after their
terms expired. It was
announced that Jonathan Pollard, the former
U.S. Naval intelligence
analyst who had spent
nearly three decades in
prison for spying for
Israel, had been granted
parole. In a case that
outraged animal lovers,
Zimbabwean police said
they were searching
for an American who
had shot and killed a
well-known, protected
lion known as Cecil during a bow hunt; Walter
Palmer, a Minnesota
dentist, issued a statement saying he thought
everything about his
trip was legal. (Ofﬁcials
in Zimbabwe later said
Palmer had not broken
the country’s hunting
laws.) Tom Brady’s fourgame suspension for his
role in using underinﬂated footballs during
the AFC championship
game was upheld by
NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell.
One year ago:
A gunman opened
ﬁre at a popular garlic festival in Gilroy,
California, killing three
people, including a
six-year-old boy and a
13-year-old girl, and
wounding 17 others
before taking his own
life. President Donald
Trump announced
that Dan Coats would
be resigning from his
post as director of
national intelligence,
after a turbulent two
years in which he and
Trump were often at
odds over Russian
interference in the
2016 election. (Trump
named John Ratcliffe
to succeed Coats, but
the Texas Republican
congressman withdrew
after ﬁve days of growing questions about
his experience and
qualiﬁcations.) Egan
Bernal, a 22-year-old
from Colombia, became
South America’s ﬁrst
winner of cycling’s
Tour de France.

Nurse Kathe Olmstead, right, gives volunteer Melissa Harting, of Harpersville, N.Y., an injection as the
world’s biggest study of a possible COVID-19 vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health
and Moderna Inc., gets underway Monday in Binghamton, N.Y.

roll out a $1 trillion package that could include
a new round of $1,200
stimulus checks but
reduce the extra $600 a
week in federal unemployment beneﬁts that are
expiring for millions of
Americans this week.
In Europe, rising infections in Spain and other
countries caused alarm
only weeks after nations
reopened their borders
in hopes of reviving tourism. Over the weekend,
Britain imposed a 14-day
quarantine on travelers
arriving from Spain,
Norway ordered a 10-day
quarantine for people
returning from the entire
Iberian peninsula, and
France urged its citizens
not to visit Spain’s Catalonia region.
Scientists set speed
records getting a madefrom-scratch vaccine

into massive testing just
months after the coronavirus emerged. But they
stressed that the public
shouldn’t fear that anyone
is cutting corners.
“This is a signiﬁcant
milestone,” NIH Director
Francis Collins said after
the very ﬁrst test injection was given, at 6:45
a.m. in Savannah, Georgia. “Yes, we’re going fast,
but no, we are not going
to compromise” on proving whether the vaccine is
safe and effective.
“We are focusing on
speed because every day
matters,” added Stephane
Bancel, CEO of Massachusetts-based Moderna.
After volunteers get
two doses a month apart,
scientists will closely
track which group experiences more infections as
they go about their daily
routines, especially in

areas where the virus is
spreading unchecked.
The answer probably
won’t come until November or December, cautioned Dr. Anthony Fauci,
NIH’s infectious-diseases
chief.
Among many questions
the study may answer:
How much protection
does just one dose offer
compared with the two
scientists think are
needed? If it works, will
it protect against severe
disease or block infection
entirely?
Don’t expect a vaccine
as strong as the measles
vaccine, which prevents
about 97% of measles
infections, Fauci said,
adding he would be happy
with a COVID-19 vaccine
that’s 60% effective.
Several other vaccines
made by China and by
Britain’s Oxford Univer-

sity began smaller ﬁnalstage tests in Brazil and
other hard-hit countries
earlier this month. But
the U.S. requires its own
tests of any vaccine that
might be used in the
country.
Every month through
the fall, the governmentfunded COVID-19 Prevention Network will roll out
a new study of a leading
candidate, each with
30,000 volunteers.
The ﬁnal U.S. study
of the Oxford shot is
set to begin in August,
followed by a candidate
from Johnson &amp; Johnson
in September and one
from Novavax in October.
Pﬁzer Inc. plans its own
30,000-person study this
summer.
That’s a stunning number of people needed to
roll up their sleeves for
science. In recent weeks,
more than 150,000
Americans ﬁlled out an
online registry signaling interest, Collins
said. But many more are
needed.
NIH is working to
make sure that the
study isn’t just ﬁlled
with healthy, younger
volunteers but includes
populations hit hardest
by COVID-19, including
older adults, those in
poor health and AfricanAmericans and Latinos.
“We really are going to
depend upon that sense
of volunteerism for individuals from every different corner of society if
we’re going to really ﬁnd
out how this vaccine, and
its potential to end this
terrible pandemic, is go
to work in each of those
groups,” Collins said.

Embiid
misses 76ers
scrimmage
with calf
tightness
LAKE BUENA VISTA,
Fla. (AP) — Joel Embiid is
hurting, and that’s a cause
for concern as the Philadelphia 76ers get set to restart
their season this week.
The All-Star starting
center sat out Philadelphia’s
scrimmage against Oklahoma City on Sunday with
right calf tightness, something 76ers coach Brett
Brown hopes is merely a
minor blip.
“I believe we’re just getting out in front of stuff and
being smart with it,” Brown
said.
Embiid has an extensive
injury history, has never
appeared in more than 64
games in a regular season
and missed 21 of Philadelphia’s 65 games this season
before the season was shut
down March 11 because of
the coronavirus pandemic.
Embiid is averaging 23.4
points and 11.8 rebounds
this season. Philadelphia is
28-16 in games with Embiid
this season, 11-10 without
him.
Al Horford was moving
into Embiid’s spot Sunday.
“It’s an opportunity,
truly — not coach-speak,
not political-speak, truly
— to play Al more, to put
him with some different
groups,” Brown said. “I
think if this had happened
three or four games sort
of into what we’re calling
the regular season, there’s
always frustration, selﬁsh
frustration and I know frustration at times for Joel.”
Embiid played 13 minutes in Philadelphia’s scrimmage opener against Memphis, shooting 3 for 10 from
the ﬁeld and leaving the
game for good with about
4 minutes remaining in the
second quarter.
“Just trying to be smart
with everything and move
on,” Brown said.
The 76ers play their
scrimmage ﬁnale against
Dallas on Tuesday and
open seeding-game play —
essentially the restart of the
regular season — on Saturday against Indiana. Philadelphia and Indiana are tied
with the ﬁfth-best records
in the Eastern Conference
going into the restart, each
at 39-26 this season.

of Rio Grande.

Trio named to Rio Athletic HOF
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Two
former basketball standouts
and the winningest baseball
coach in school history are
joining the University of Rio
Grande’s Athletic Hall of
Fame.
Troy Donaldson, Jenna
(Smith) Wickersham and Brad
Warnimont make up the Class
of 2020 announced Friday by
school ofﬁcials.
The trio will be formally
inducted as part of the school’s
annual Hall of Fame banquet
on Saturday, Nov. 21, at 6
p.m., in the Rio Alumni Heritage Room of Davis University
Center. The banquet follows
the conclusion of the Bevo
Francis Invitational Tournament, which is slated for Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20-21,
at the Newt Oliver Arena.
The Class of 2020 - and all
other Hall of Fame members
in attendance - will be recognized prior to the tournament’s ﬁnal game in the Newt
Oliver Arena at approximately
4 p.m. on the 21st.
Donaldson was a member
of the then-Redmen men’s
basketball team for four seasons (1990-93) and is widely
regarded as one of the top
post players in program history.
The Sebring, Ohio native
currently ranks eighth on the
school’s all-time scoring list
with 1,960 points and fourth
in rebounds with 1,084. He
also was a part of Rio’s 199091 team, which lost to eventual national champion Central
Arkansas in the second round
of the NAIA National Championship.
Donaldson, who shot 65
percent or better from the
ﬁeld in each of his four sea-

sons, ﬁnished second nationally in ﬁeld goal percentage
(68.4%) during his senior
campaign.
He also earned All-Mid-Ohio
Conference and All-District
honors as a senior after being
named an honorable mention
selection to both lists during
his junior season.
Donaldson, who currently
serves as a case manager at
the Ross County Correctional
Facility, is married to current
Rio Grande head volleyball
coach and fellow Rio Hall of
Famer Billina Donaldson.
The couple has three children - Kinnison, who graduated from Rio in December after
a four-year volleyball career;
Cooper, who will be a member
of the Rio men’s basketball
program this season after
transferring from Concord
(WV) University; and Caden,
who will be a freshman in the
men’s volleyball program at
Mount Vernon Nazarene University this fall.
Wickersham spent four seasons (2007-11) as a member
of the Rio Grande women’s
basketball program where
she earned All-America Mideast Conference honors as a
sophomore and All-Mid-South
Conference kudos over the
course of each of her ﬁnal two
seasons.
Wickersham, who was an
honorable mention NAIA AllAmerican as a senior, is the
school’s all-time leader in both
three-point goals (294) and
three-point ﬁeld goal percentage (44.5%), while ranking
both ﬁrst and third on the
single-season three-point goals
list with 110 in the 2010-11
season and 79 one year earlier.
The sharp-shooting native
of Bellefontaine, Ohio is ninth
on Rio’s all-time scoring list
with 1,544 points, while also

ranking 11th in steals (163)
and 15th in assists (235). She
ﬁnished with an 86.5% career
free throw shooting mark and
was a member of the school’s
2007-08 NAIA Division II
National Tournament team.
Wickersham also excelled
in the classroom, earning
Academic All-Mid-South Conference honors twice and an
NAIA Scholar-Athlete distinction as a senior.
She currently resides with
her family in Lakeview, Ohio
and is a pharmacist with the
Kroger Company.
Warnimont has spent the
past 19 seasons as the head
coach of the Rio Grande
baseball program, compiling a
577-444-3 record (.563) in the
process. The Napoleon, Ohio
native has an overall record of
840-726-10 in a 31-year head
coaching career, which also
included stints at Bethany
(WV) College, Ashland (OH)
University and Salem (WV)
University.
Warnimont’s 840 career
victories rank 29th all-time
and 12th among active head
coaches. His Rio teams have
averaged just over 30 wins per
season during his tenure.
In 2010, Warnimont guided
Rio to its ﬁrst conference
title since 1978 and ﬁrst-ever
national tournament appearance.
Since then, the RedStorm
have captured Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
Tournament crowns in both
2015 and 2016 before winning
the River States Conference
Tournament in 2019 to secure
three more trips to the NAIA
National Championship Opening Round. His 2015 squad
ﬁnished as the runner-up in
the Daytona Beach Bracket,
narrowly missing a trip to the
NAIA World Series.

Warnimont has coached a
number of All-Americans during his time at Rio, while also
serving as an Associate Scout
for the Boston Red Sox since
2015.
Warnimont is highlyrespected at the regional and
national levels, serving on
numerous national committees. He currently serves as
the rater for the River States
Conference and is ARC Chairman for the Midwest Region.
Warnimont and his wife,
Sue, reside in Rio Grande.
They are the parents of two
sons - Caleb, a Doctor of
Physical Therapy at Holzer
Medical Center, and Ty, who
is pursuing a Master’s of Education at Rio Grande while
also serving as an assistant
coach under his father.
Tickets for the banquet,
which are $15 each, can be
purchased through the Alumni
Relations ofﬁce at 740-2457431. Athletic Hall of Fame
members and one guest will
be admitted free.
Online sales will be
announced at a later date.

Grande takes great pride in

athletes and former faculty
members with various recognition awards. Nominations

More US agents
may go to Portland;
mayors want limits
By Andrew Selsky
and Aron Ranen
Associated Press

PORTLAND, Ore.
— The mayors of six
U.S. cities appealed
Monday to Congress to
make it illegal for the
federal government to
deploy militarized federal agents to cities that
don’t want them, even
as the Trump administration is considering
sending more of them
to Portland, Oregon.
“This administration’s egregious use of
federal force on cities
over the objections
of local authorities
should never happen,”
the mayors of Portland, Seattle, Chicago,
Kansas City Albuquerque and Washington
D.C. wrote to leaders
of the U.S. House and
Senate.
Early Monday, U.S.
agents repeatedly ﬁred

protesters outside the
federal courthouse in
downtown in Portland.
Some protesters had
climbed over the fence
surrounding the courthouse, while others
shot ﬁreworks, banged
on the fence and projected lights on the
building.
President Donald
Trump said Monday on
Twitter that the federal
properties in Portland
“wouldn’t last a day”
without the presence
of the federal agents.
Homeland Security
is considering sending
about 50 additional
Customs and Border
Protection agents to
Portland, according
to an administration
ofﬁcial who spoke on
condition of anonymity
because they were not
authorized to speak
publicly about the matter. The plan has not
been ﬁnalized and it’s
not clear if the ofﬁcers
would be replacing the
ofﬁcers on the ground.

still get right.
Privately, many White
House ofﬁcials have
pinned their reelection
hopes on the potential
emergence of a vaccine
for the coronavirus,
believing it to be the ultimate “October surprise.”
Some believe Trump may
well be doomed without
one, and that even with
one, it may be too late to
save his fortunes with so
many Americans expected to vote before Election
Day on Nov. 3.
Under the federal
government’s Operation
Warp Speed vaccine program, multiple COVID-19
vaccines are being developed simultaneously with
a goal of delivering 300
million safe and effective
doses by January 2021.
Trump was visiting the
FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies’ Innovation
Center in Morrisville, a
suburb of Raleigh. The
facility has begun production of the ﬁrst batch of
a possible vaccine developed by Novavax, a Maryland company.
The batches produced
at the North Carolina
facility will be used in a
Phase 3 clinical trial of up
to 30,000 subjects, which
is expected to begin this
fall and will determine
the drug’s safety and
effectiveness, according to Novavax, which
received $1.6 billion from
the federal government
under Operation Warp
Speed.
The president is working to highlight progress

in the development of a
vaccine before voters go
to the polls in about three
months. Dr. Anthony
Fauci, the nation’s top
infectious disease expert,
has said he is cautiously
optimistic that one and
maybe more vaccines will
be available by the end of
this year.
“The ultimate goal of
this would be to get full
licensure based on clearcut efﬁcacy and safety
data,” Fauci told reporters Monday.
Peter Navarro, a senior
Trump economic adviser,
framed the effort as a
political home run for
Trump, who pushed for
development of the vaccine while simultaneously
working on a process to
distribute it quickly.
But even as Trump has
tried to shift the nation’s
focus from new infections
to hope for cures, he’s
been interrupted by rising case loads across the
Sunbelt and word Monday that Robert O’Brien,
his national security
adviser, has tested positive for the virus.
The political imperative
for Trump has sparked
concerns among members of Congress that
Trump could try to take
shortcuts in the approval
process. Administration
experts have dismissed
those concerns, with
Food and Drug Administration Commissioner
Dr. Stephen Hahn telling
reporters Monday that
the FDA “will not cut
corners” to evaluate a vac-

cine.
Hahn joined Pence in
Miami to highlight the
beginning of Phase 3 testing of a different vaccine
candidate developed by
the National Institutes
of Health and Moderna
Inc., which began its ﬁrst
injections Monday.
“It’s a historic day, a
day when we begin in
earnest to work on a vaccine,” Pence said.
About 4.2 million conﬁrmed COVID-19 cases
have been reported in the
United States and there
have been more than
146,000 deaths.
With the election
approaching, Trump has
begun to run short on
time to shift the narrative
of the race, which so far
appears shaping up to be
as a referendum on his
handling of the pandemic.
He faces deﬁcits in battleground states across the
map, has struggled to land
attacks on Biden and has
been forced by the virus to
scrap rallies and GOP convention events, moments
he might have used to
change the momentum of
the contest.
Instead, White House
aides seem to be growing
more resigned to hoping
for an outside event to
change the trajectory of
the contest, whether a
serious misstep by Biden
or, increasingly, a vaccine breakthrough. North
Carolina is a key battleground state in the coming election, and Trump’s
visit marks his 10th trip
to the state during his
presidency. Trump won
the state by nearly 4 percentage points in 2016.
The state’s importance was reﬂected in
the party’s plans to hold
its nominating convention in Charlotte, before
Trump moved the event
to Florida, only to later
cancel those plans as well.
Instead, a small subset of
GOP delegates will formally renominate Trump
on Aug. 24 in Charlotte at
an event scheduled to last
just four hours.

WASHINGTON
— President Donald
Trump’s handling of the
coronavirus pandemic put
his political fate in grave
jeopardy. Now he’s hoping to get credit for his
administration’s aggressive push for a vaccine
-– and crossing his ﬁngers
that one gets approved
before Election Day.
Trump and Vice President Mike Pence visited
vaccine development
sites on Monday, marking
the beginning of the largest vaccine research trial
yet. Their trips to North
Carolina and Florida,
respectively, come as the
White House is grappling
with its most prominent
virus case since the crisis
begin and a nationwide
spike in the virus.
“We’re doing well on
vaccines, we’re doing
well on therapeutics. And
now I’m heading to North
Carolina to look exactly
at that,” Trump said as
he departed the White
House.
Trump’s standing in
the polls, trailing former
Vice President Joe Biden
less than 100 days before
the election, underscores
the urgency to highlight
vaccines and therapeutics
–- which include the antiviral drug remdesivir and
convalescent plasma.
The economic toll of
the pandemic has undone
the job gains of Trump’s
presidency and his
administration has faced
bipartisan criticism for
its handling of efforts to
test and contain the outbreak. Trump aides view
the hunt for the vaccine
as something they can
