MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS Tattoo dos and don’ts Tattoo artists and their shops are required to be approved by the local health department before they begin procedures. Ohio has codes pertaining to these facilities. Health departments use these codes as a checklist to ensure the safety of public health. Artists are required to prove they have had Bloodborne Pathogen Training, First Aid and a course in cleaning and sanitization. Also considered before an approval is granted is the type of equipment used and the physical facility. Equipment should be disposable, and only used on one person before being discarded or capable of being sterilized in special sterilization equipment such as an autoclave. Physical facilities need to be sanitary, provide adequate lighting and adequate space. After meeting the conditions for approval, an artist still needs to ensure compliance with Ohio codes by providing aftercare instructions to every client and keeping thorough records of each procedure. Records should was just scratched include contact on the skin.

And in a twist, the respect-seeking turnip actually turned some heads. Seed companies taking stock of what went well and what came out of the woodwork proclaimed the tomato as their top seller this year. Speciﬁcally, at Burpee, the Bodacious Tomato was the best-selling vegetable seed. The company calls the large, disease-resistant but pricey hybrid indeterminate tomato, which is good with sandwiches, burgers, salads and more, “our new superstar.” The Park’s Whopper tomato has been an annual centerpiece for Park Seeds, “and 2020 was no different!” said Kelly Funk, president of parent J&P Park Acquisitions. At Ferry Morse, the Large-Fruited Red Cherry Tomato that ﬁlls out on tall, indeterminate vines was crowned its No. 1 seller. “It’s an easy-to-grow variety that produces proliﬁcally all summer long,” said Ferry Morse chief marketing ofﬁcer Rebecca Sears.

She said once activities resume following the pandemic, she would like to speak in local high schools, as well as elementary schools.

Boxes home to Cleveland. But lawyers for LaRose immediately ordered the county not to proceed. Three courts have now scolded LaRose for the original drop box directive, calling it unreasonable and arbitrary. A state appellate court made clear he had the authority to remedy the order under law. LaRose and his Republican allies in the case, including President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee, argue that Ohio voters have ample opportunities to vote, including being able to deliver absentee ballots by mail or in person. “Voting has begun, and Ohio’s elections are safe, secure and accessible,” LaRose spokeswoman Maggie Sheehan said in a text message Thursday. “The place to make changes in how we run our elections is the Statehouse, not the courthouse.” Polster said defenders of the directive “gloss over the risks and obstacles that those options present under today’s unprecedented conditions.” Jen Miller, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio, said now that both state and federal courts have ruled against the order, LaRose should relent and begin working with Ohio’s 88 county boards to add more drop boxes.

Philip Randolph Institute’s case Tuesday because he said a clariﬁcation LaRose issued to his one-box-per-county order now permitted ballot drop boxes at multiple locations within a county. That was what the institute’s lawsuit had been seeking. But LaRose’s ofﬁce argued that by allowing drop boxes “outside” boards of elections, his new directive was meant to restrict them to board property just outside the building — not to allow them off site. Polster said in reopening the case Thursday that LaRose’s deﬁnition appeared arbitrary. “It appears the Secretary has arbitrarily drawn the ‘outside’ boundary somewhere beyond a board’s premises but not as far as a library a few miles away,” he wrote. “This leaves the Court and the boards with no working deﬁnition of where ‘outside’ collection is permissible.” Polster’s original order said the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections could move forward with its plan under LaRose’s clariﬁed order to set up ballot drop boxes at six public libraries scattered around the county, which is �A long the R iver Ohio Valley Publishing Saturday, October 10, 2020 5 FALL FINALE Author Lauren Destefano sums it up perfectly: “Fall has always been my favorite season.

Fall arrives at local markets By Lorna Hart Special to OVP OHIO VALLEY — Fall’s arrival in the Ohio Valley conjures images of pumpkins, apples, honey, and the last summer vegetables picked before the ﬁrst freeze. We remember the fragrance of baked goods and jams, corn shocks tied together in displays, and crisp leaves crunched under foot. Mums and other hardy ﬂowering plants in the colors of fall themselves replace summer’s offering of more fragile varieties. For many there is nothing quite like the feeling of strolling through a market on a fall day with the shadow of winter creeping ever closer. It is such a pleasant experience to taste samples and gather produce and baked goods to take home. Perhaps it invokes memories of a past when everyone grew and preserved their own produce, then came together to share and trade, visit with friends, and prepare for the cold winter days ahead. Area farms enjoyed an excellent harvest this fall, providing plenty of variety at local markets. Many have taken to beekeeping, making it easy to purchase local honey. Examples of the Ohio Valley’s reputation for good cooking and baking are abundant at the markets making it difﬁcult to choose. The best advice is to take Lorna Hart | Courtesy photo Chad and Kati’s Produce Stand in Racine, Ohio, offers fresh vegetables in the summer and pumpkins and other items in the fall.

Leanna Roush of OHIO VALLEY HISTORY The Battle of Point Pleasant By Chris Rizer Special to OVP Lead an army of 1,500 frontiersmen from Camp Union (Lewisburg) to the mouth of the Great Kanawha River, join forces with Lord Dunmore’s 1,300-strong Northern Army, completely destroy the Shawnee towns on the Pickaway Plains, and claim once and for all British sovereignty over the Ohio Valley. That was the plan when Andrew Lewis set out from Staunton, Virginia in July 1774. Of course, as I’m sure we all know, plans often change. Before Lewis had even left Camp Union, Dunmore requested that they meet at the mouth of the Hockhocking River instead, and Lewis agreed as the river valley provided an easy route for a large army through the Hocking Hills. The plan changed again after Lewis encountered several Native American hunting parties during his march and wrote asking for permission to continue his march west from the Kanawha while Dunmore took the Hocking, so as to ﬂank the Native Americans and prevent any raiding parties from using the Kanawha Valley to access the Shenandoah. These mutual decisions are all bore out in letters between Lewis, Dunmore, and their respective second-in-commands, Adam Stephens and William Fleming. So much for any supposed treason on Dunmore’s part. Unfortunately, Lewis’ decision left him vulnerable to attack, despite the protection that he thought the two rivers offered. Aware of the armies’ movements thanks to the hunting parties, Cornstalk saw a brief opening while Lewis waited for his rearguard and took full advantage. Had they not been discovered by the four hunters in the early hours of October 10th, it’s likely Chris Rizer | Courtesy The battle monument at Tu-Endie-Wei State Park. that Cornstalk’s army would have annihilated the Virginians. They were of roughly equal number, equally armed, and would have had the advantage of total surprise. The Virginians, for their part, had nowhere to go with two rivers at their backs, and a ferocious attack would have cornered them with no chance of escape. As it is, the Native Americans were discovered, and the Virginians had just enough time to rally. Take a moment to imagine it, centuries ago on this very day. In the early light of dawn, the drumbeat sounding through the forest as 300 of Virginia’s best riﬂemen are led out of camp by the doomed Colonel Charles Lewis in his ﬂaming British redcoat and Dr. William Fleming in his frontier leathers, the blast of riﬂe ﬁre like cannons echoing off the hills as the two armies come together, the moment of utter despair as both Lewis and Fleming fall and it seems all is lost, the fear as Chief Cornstalk shouts over the din and urges his warriors onward, and the overwhelming joy as the full might of the Southern Army joins the fray and turns the tide of battle… All of this before noon. Both armies fell back as the sun set, and faced with the arrival of Colonel William Christian’s 300-strong rearguard soon after dark, the Native American army retreated to the Pickaway Plains. Meanwhile, Dunmore, who had received word that evening of the ALL DONATED ITEMS: Such as furniture,quilts, barn & lawn & garden items,tools & misc.

THANK YOU! for choosing us as #1 in the Tri-County battle from Lewis’ runners, quickened his march in the hopes of ﬂanking Cornstalk’s weakened forces. Cornstalk made it to the villages ﬁrst. There, he called a council of chieftains and explained the situation. 2,500 vengeful Virginian riﬂemen, the best the frontier could arm, were on their way. Their force was now a little less than 1,000, and the villages were also home to quite a few women and children. They could kill the women and children and ﬁght to the last man, he told them, and receiving no response, he said, “Then I will go and make peace.” So, when Lewis’ Southern Army arrived on the Pickaway Plains on October 24th, Cornstalk and Dunmore were already in the middle of peace negotiations, which upset many of the frontiersmen. Yet what was Dunmore to say? Sorry Chief, I (a Scottish lord, royal governor, and general) have to wait on the lowly colonel that follows my orders? No, that would have been a sign of weakness, and Dunmore was fully within his rights to begin talks.

Erica Bolinger went the distance in goal for the Cougars and had seven stops. Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Saturday when it hosts Indiana University East for a 5 p.m. kickoff. The RedStorm and the Red Wolves are the only teams in the RSC who remain unbeaten in league play.

Unbeaten Steelers welcome improving Eagles PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger didn’t spend his unexpected weekend off just hanging around. It’s impossible when you’re the father of three young children. So the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback headed outside to play catch with his son Benjamin after the NFL postponed last week’s scheduled trip to Tennessee because of a COVID-19 outbreak among the Titans. The 38-year-old Roethlisberger focused on keeping his surgically repaired right elbow loose and trying not to let the outside forces that have disrupted the familiar rhythms of the regular season get to him. “It’s tough, especially for someone like myself who was just starting to kind of get back in the ﬂow of things,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s not easy, but you have to adjust. You have to adapt and do the best you can.” For the unbeaten Steelers (3-0) that means trying to hit reset in time for Sunday’s visit from cross-state rival Philadelphia (1-2-1). The erratic Eagles appear to be rounding into form following a sluggish start thanks in large part to a defense that’s nearly Pittsburgh’s equal when it comes to getting after the quarterback. The Steelers lead the NFL in sacks per game (5.0). Philadelphia is second (4.2). Whichever offensive line does a better job keeping Roethlisberger or Eagles counterpart Carson Wentz upright will likely have the upper hand. Wentz has taken to taking off behind a makeshift offensive line, adding an element Pittsburgh’s front seven hasn’t faced yet this season. Wentz has struggled in the pocket this season and has thrown a league-worst seven interceptions, matching his total from each of the past three years. But he’s scrambling more, gaining 102 yards on 16 carries in the past two games and has run for a touchdown in each of the past three weeks. “I love being on the move and extending plays, making things happen,” Wentz said. “I think it puts a lot of stress on the defense. Obviously, I have to be smart and know when to take my See UNBEATEN | 10 Alex Hawley|OVP Sports Ohio’s Ryan Luehrman makes a first down catch along the home sideline, during the Bobcats’ 39-36 loss on Oct. 12, 2019, in Athens, Ohio. Bobcats to face six MAC opponents By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com ATHENS, Ohio — A compacted season, but a season none the less.

The Bobcats will be in Peden Stadium for the ﬁrst time on Tuesday, Nov. 10 against Akron. The Zips were winless last year and have lost 11 of their last 12 meetings with the Bobcats. Akron hasn’t won in Peden Stadium since 2004. Next, Ohio meets archrival Miami on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at Yager Stadium in Oxford. The RedHawks — reigning MAC champions— have claimed two wins in a row in the Battle of the Bricks. The Bobcats’ ﬁrst Saturday game and ﬁrst of back-to-back home games is on Nov. 28 against Bowling Green.

The Bengals have averaged 28.6 points over their past three games, with Burrow throwing for a cumulative 928 yards with six touchdown passes and just one interception. “There are high expectations there, and he’s fulﬁlling them,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. BRUISING BURROW Burrow has taken quite a few hard hits thus far, partially because of offensive line problems and to a degree because he’s quick to ﬂee the pocket in an effort to make something happen. After taking eight sacks and getting hit 10 more times two weeks ago against Philadelphia, Burrow was hit ﬁve times in a 33-25 win over Jacksonville on Sunday. But he was sacked only once, and that was in a situation where the Bengals had to run some time off the clock. Burrow has been hit 36 times in four games. At least a couple came a tick late and weren’t ﬂagged, including a shot from Jaguars linebacker Cassius Marsh. Asked if ofﬁcials missed it or if it’s something to expect — a rookie quarterback not getting a call — coach Zac Taylor demurred. “It’s a great question,” he said. “We’re trying to see what we can do there.” quarterback Lamar Jackson, the 2019 NFL MVP, Bynes know the Bengals defense will be tested. “He’s dynamic in all forms of the game,” Bynes said. “He can throw, he can run, he can make you miss, he can do it all and that’s what makes him a hard person to stop.

FINALLY IN SYNC Cincinnati rolled up 505 yards, including 151 rushing by Mixon and 300 passing by Burrow. Right guard was a trouble spot in the ﬁrst three games, but former practice squad player Alex Redmond started against the Jags and seemed to help shore things up. Left tackle Jonah Williams believes the 500yard afternoon was the result of all the offensive elements clicking at the same time. “I think that if you watch the offense as a whole, everything was in rhythm,” he said. “Us protecting was part of that, but additionally, the receivers being open. Joe’s able to get the ball out a little bit faster and we had a lot of success running the ball. So that opened up our play-action game and took a little bit of pressure off everyone.” Browns look to further validate start against tough Colts CLEVELAND (AP) — Baker Mayﬁeld knows all about the Browns’ tortured history over the past two decades. It’s been jammed down his throat. Almost from the moment he was drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, Mayﬁeld’s been told about the expansion era horror stories of botched drafts, devastating injuries, coaching mistakes, paralyzing dysfunction and losing. So much losing. Mayﬁeld can’t deal with Cleveland’s painful past. So why try? “I was not here for all that,” he said. “I was here to change it, and that is what I am doing.” It’s true. The Browns (3-1), three years removed from an 0-16 season and owners of the NFL’s current longest playoff drought, are off to their best start since 2001. Flaunting a well-balanced, high-scoring offense and a ball-hawking defense, Cleveland is one of the league’s early surprises in 2020 — to everyone, that is, but the Browns. “You look at the games that we won, and it was not like it was a ﬂuke,” said star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who had three touchdowns in last week’s win at Dallas. Maybe not, OBJ. But the Browns’ three wins after being blown out in their opener at Baltimore have come against teams with a combined 3-8-1 record, which makes Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts (3-1) a true test of Cleveland’s legitimacy as a, dare we say it, playoff contender. The same case could be made for the Colts, who shook off a Week 1 loss to Jacksonville and have won three straight. But Indy’s schedule over the season’s ﬁrst quarter was equally soft, so Cleveland will be a good measuring stick — for now. The matchup will feature the NFL’s top rushing team (Cleveland averages 204.5 yards per game) against the league’s best overall defense; the Colts lead in points allowed, yards and interceptions. “We are playing as a unit. We are playing smart,” said Indianapolis coach Frank Reich. “We have been good against the run. It starts with stopping the run. That is why this week is going to be such a challenge, it will really put that to the test.” It might have gotten a touch easier as the Browns will be without Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb, who sprained his right knee in last week’s win at Dallas and could be sidelined for a month or more. Kareem Hunt will likely get most of Chubb’s carries as ﬁrst-year Browns coach Kevin Stefanski isn’t expected to stray from a formula that has been working. RUNNING MATES If there was a silver lining in Chubb’s injury, it’s that the Browns played most of last week without him and thrived. Hunt rushed for 71 yards and two TDs, and D’Ernest Johnson, who came in with ﬁve career carries, added 95 on 13 attempts. It ﬁgures to be much tougher sledding against a Colts front anchored by tackle DeForest Buckner, proving to be worth every penny of his $21 million per year contract after coming over in a trade from San Francisco. OLD MAN RIVERS Colts quarterback Philip Rivers can add two more milestones to his resume this weekend. Sunday’s start will be the 38-yearold’s 229th in a row, tying him with Hall of Fame offensive lineman Bruce Matthews for the fourth-longest streak in league history. And with four completions, Rivers will be the ﬁfth NFL player with 5,000 in his career. Earlier this season, Rivers became the sixth with 60,000 yards and 400 touchdown passes.

Continuing claims for unemployment, considered a more reliable indicator, fell previous week. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has promised details next week on an aid plan for people struggling to pay their rent, and for small businesses and nonproﬁts.

For many years, the Gallia County Children Services Boards (CSB) was designated that responsibility. CSB Resolution #2020-02 dated April 20, 2020 stated the CSB's intent to dissolve and relinquish said designation requiring the Commissioners to designate a new agency to serve as a public children services agency. After careful consideration, on August 20, 2020, the Commissioners approved, by resolution, to designated Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services to serve as the public children services agency effective December 1, 2020. �NEWS/WEATHER 12 Saturday, October 10, 2020 Funding Daily Sentinel Plot puts focus on governors’ safety amid threats, protests wages.
