Hysell recognized
for work with
Humane Society
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com
POMEROY — Longtime Meigs County
Human Society volunteer Dee Hysell was recognized by the Meigs
County Commissioners during last week’s
meeting.
Hysell and Humane
Society volunteers
Dixie Sayre and John
Musser were at the
meeting to discuss
the programs offered
through the Meigs
County Humane Society and the work they
do to help animals in
the county.
The certificate of
appreciation presented
to Hysell reads, “She
has set an example for
all of us that dedication
and determination is
what contributes in success. The energy and
effort that she has put
into the Meigs County
Humane Society will
have a positive impact
on our community for
years to come.”
Hysell runs the
Humane Society Thrift
Store in Middleport,
overseeing a group of
fellow volunteers and
organizing and sorting
donated items.
All money raised
through the thrift store,
donations and Meigs
County Humane Society memberships stay
local to help animals
in Meigs County. No
funds are sent out of
the county or to the
national organization.
The goal of the
Humane Society is to
take care of the animals
of the county, explained
the volunteers.
From January
through July 2020,
the Humane Society
has spent more than
$38,000 to assist animals and their owners
through multiple programs.
The Humane Society
assists with spay and
neuter vouchers, as
well as medical vouchers each year; During
the early months of the
COVID-19 pandemic,
the organization helped
to provide pet food for
dogs and cats; and each
winter, the organization
provides vouchers for
straw animal bedding
for a discounted price
of $2.
The thrift store is
open each week from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Monday-Thursday
and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.,
Friday and Saturday.
Donations are accepted
during regular business
hours. All workers at
the store are volunteers
so there is no payroll
expense, meaning all
proceeds benefit the
animals.
Additional volunteers
are always appreciated,
with anyone interested
invited to stop by the
store.
Memberships for the
Meigs County Humane
Society are available for
$5 for seniors and $10
for adults.
For more information
about the Humane Society and its programs

Land bank organizational meeting held
By Sarah Hawley
AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC
Thursday, September 10, 2020 s 50¢
POMEROY — The
Meigs County Land
Reutilization Corporation (Land Bank) held its
organizational meeting
last week.
Members of the current five person board
are Commissioners
Jimmy Will and Tim
Ihle, Treasurer Peggy
Yost, Middleport Village
representative Building Inspector Mike
Hendrickson, and Tina
Rees of Peoples Bank.
The board is required to
include the three elected
officials (two commissioners and the treasurer) and a representative
from the county’s largest
village among other
members.
The goal of the Land
Bank is to clean up
dilapidated properties in
the county.
The land banks are
designed to help revitalize areas and properties
which have been abandoned or have not been
taken care of for many
years.
As previously reported
by the Sentinel, the com-
missioners approved a
resolution in the summer
of 2019 for the first step
in the process of starting a land bank in Meigs
County. The second step
was the filing of paperwork by the treasurer
which was completed in
late 2019.
The organization of the
board of directors is the
latest step in the process.
According to the
Center for Community
Progress, “land banks are
governmental entities or
nonprofit corporations
that are focused on the
conversion of vacant,
abandoned, and tax
delinquent properties
into productive use.”
The idea of a land bank
is not new, the original
legislation was passed
in Ohio in 2008 for
Cuyahoga County only.
The law was amended in
2010 for counties with
populations of at least
60,000. In 2015, the
population requirement
was removed, and now
all counties are eligible to
form county land banks.

The Associated Press
Book: Trump said
of virus, ‘I wanted to
always play it down’
By Kevin Freking
and Zeke Miller
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
— President Donald
Trump talked privately
about the severity of
the coronavirus threat
even as he was telling
the nation that the
virus was no worse
than the seasonal flu
and insisting that the
U.S. government had it
totally under control,
according to a new
book by journalist Bob
Woodward.
“You just breathe the
air and that’s how it’s
passed,” Trump said in
a Feb. 7 call with Woodward. “And so that’s a
very tricky one. That’s
a very delicate one. It’s
also more deadly than
even your strenuous
flus.”
“This is deadly stuff,”
the president repeated
for emphasis.
For the White House,
the book serves as an
unwelcome return to a
focus on Trump’s handling of the pandemic
just as he is trying to
project that the virus is
under control and as he
is eager to see a return
to normal activity leading up to the Nov. 3
presidential election.
Trump told Woodward on March 19 that
he deliberately minimized the danger. “I
wanted to always play
it down,” the president
said. “I still like playing
it down because I don’t
want create a panic.”
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden
said the book shows
Trump “lied to the
American people. He
knowingly and willingly
lied about the threat it
posed to the country for
months.”
“He had the information,” Biden said during
a campaign event in
Michigan. “He knew
how dangerous it was.
And while a deadly disease ripped through our
nation, he failed to do
his job — on purpose.
It was a life or death
betrayal of the American people.”
The Washington
Post, where Woodward
serves as associate editor, reported excerpts
of the book, “Rage”
on Wednesday, as did
CNN. The book also
covers race relations,
diplomacy with North
Korea and a range of
other issues that have
arisen during the past
two years.
The book is based in
part on 18 interviews
that Woodward conducted with Trump between
December and July.
“Trump never did
seem willing to fully
mobilize the federal
government and continually seemed to
push problems off on
the states,” Woodward
writes. “There was no
real management theory
of the case or how to
organize a massive
enterprise to deal with
one of the most complex emergencies the
United States had ever
faced.”
White House press
secretary Kayleigh
McEnany said the
president’s words to the
public were designed to
express confidence and
calm at a time of insurmountable challenges.
“The president has
never lied to the American public on COVID.
The president was
expressing calm and
his actions reflect that,”
McEnany said.
McEnany took questions about the book
during a briefing at
the White House on
Wednesday. She said his
actions reflect that he
took COVID-19 seriously. She noted that the
president put in place
travel restrictions with
China on Jan. 31 and
that some Democrats
had criticized the move.
McEnany said “the
president never downplayed the virus.” But
Trump himself told
Woodward that he
was “playing it down,
because I don’t want to
create panic.”
At times, Trump’s
public comments suggested he was less interested in keeping people
calm than in having
them ignore the reality
of the coming storm. “I
think the virus is going
to be — it’s going to be
fine,” Trump said on
February 10th -- three
days after telling Woodward privately it was
“deadly stuff” and more
dangerous than the seasonal flu.
Trump aides and
allies said at the time
said Trump was aiming
to prop up the economy
with his rosy take on
the virus throughout
February, even as his
administration took
few concrete steps to
prepare for the coming
pandemic.
“There is damning
truth that President
Trump lied and people
died,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck
Schumer of New York.
Schumer said that when
he thinks about how
many people in his state
died, “It just makes me
angry.” He added: “How
many people would be
alive today if he just
told Americans the
truth?”
House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., said the
president’s comments
to Woodward showed
weakness and a disdain
for science.
“What he was actually
saying is, ‘I don’t want
anybody to think anything like this happened
on my watch so I’m not
going to call any more
attention to it,” Pelosi
said during an interview on MSNBC.
Woodward’s book
is his second on the
Trump White House.
The first, published in
2018, portrayed Trump
in an unflattering light,
and the president fumed
at staff that he was
not interviewed for it,
according to two former
White House officials
and Republicans close
to the White House.
They were not authorized to speak publicly
about private conversations and discussed the
matter on condition of
anonymity.
Today is Thursday, Sept. 10, the 254th day of
2020. There are 112 days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history
On Sept. 10, 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court
ordered the University of Mississippi to admit
James Meredith, a Black student.
On this date
In 1813, an American naval force commanded
by Oliver H. Perry defeated the British in the
Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
(Afterward, Perry sent the message, “We have
met the enemy and they are ours.”)
In 1846, Elias Howe received a patent for his
sewing machine.
In 1919, New York City welcomed home Gen.
John J. Pershing and 25,000 soldiers who’d
served in the U.S. First Division during World
War I.
In 1935, Sen. Huey P. Long died in Baton
Rouge two days after being shot in the
Louisiana state Capitol, allegedly by Dr. Carl
Weiss.
In 1960, Hurricane Donna, a dangerous
Category 4 storm eventually blamed for 364
deaths, struck the Florida Keys.
In 1963, 20 Black students entered Alabama
public schools following a standoff between federal authorities and Gov. George C. Wallace.
In 1987, Pope John Paul II arrived in Miami,
where he was welcomed by President Ronald
Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan as he began
a 10-day tour of the United States.
In 1991, the Senate Judiciary Committee
opened hearings on the nomination of Clarence
Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 2005, Cadaver dogs and boatloads of forensic workers fanned out across New Orleans to
collect the corpses left behind by Hurricane
Katrina; cleanup crews towed away abandoned
cars and even began readying a hotel for reopening.
In 2006, Peyton Manning and the
Indianapolis Colts defeated Eli Manning and the
New York Giants 26-21 in the first NFL game to
feature two brothers starting at quarterback.
In 2016, John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried
to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981,
was released from a Washington mental hospital
for good.
In 2018, Florence exploded into a potentially
catastrophic Category 4 hurricane as it closed
in on North and South Carolina with winds
up to 140 mph. The Trump administration
ordered the closure of the Palestinian diplomatic mission in Washington, citing the refusal
of Palestinian leaders to enter into peace talks
with Israel.
Ten years ago: During a White House press
conference, President Barack Obama blamed
Republicans and election-year politics for
thwarting his efforts to do more to spur a listless national economy. Juan Mari Bras, 82, an
elder statesman of Puerto Rico’s independence
movement, died in Rio Piedras.
Five years ago: Senate Democrats voted to
uphold the hard-fought nuclear accord with
Iran, overcoming ferocious Republican opposition. New York State approved gradually raising
the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $15
an hour — the first time any state had set the
minimum that high.
One year ago: President Donald Trump
abruptly forced out his national security adviser,
John Bolton, with whom he had strong disagreements on Iran, Afghanistan and other
global challenges. Conservative Republican Dan
Bishop won a special election for an open House
seat in North Carolina by a little more than two
percentage points, averting a Democratic capture of a district held by the GOP for nearly six
decades. Apple announced the launch of its own
streaming television service, while also unveiling three new iPhones boasting an additional
camera for taking pictures from extra-wide
angles.

Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden arrives to board a plane at New Castle Airport in New Castle, Del.,
on Wednesday en route to campaign events in Michigan.
Biden aims to rebuild ‘blue wall’
By Alexandra Jaffe
and Will Weissert
Associated Press
WARREN, Mich.
— Joe Biden used
suburban Detroit as a
backdrop Wednesday
to make a direct appeal
to blue-collar workers
who might have voted
Republican four years
ago but now regret it —
attempting to rebuild
the Democratic “blue
wall” that crumbled four
years ago and helped
catapult Donald Trump
to the White House.
The former vice president’s first pandemicera campaign trips
beyond his home in
Delaware have been
to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan,
an indication of how
closely Biden’s electoral
prospects are tied to
winning back those
formerly reliably Democratic states.
Biden was in Warren,
an area whose economy
is heavily dependent on
the auto industry, and
pledged to rewrite tax
codes to reward U.S.
companies that invest in
domestic manufacturing
while imposing penalties on those that send
jobs to other countries.
He noted that a
local General Motors
transmission plant
closed last year despite
Trump’s pledges to protect Michigan jobs and
added, “I bet the workers around here weren’t

Trump’s empty prom-

40-49 — 26 cases
50-59 — 24 cases (3

hospitalizations)
70-79 — 19 cases (9
hospitalizations)
80-89 — 13 cases (7
hospitalizations)
90-99 — 8 cases (5
hospitalizations)
The Ohio Department of Health lists two
deaths in the 60-69 age
range, two deaths in the
70-79 age range and five
deaths in the 80-plus
age range for a total of
nine deaths, one more
than is reported by the
Gallia County Health
Department. The health
department does not
provide age ranges for
the reported deaths.
The health department is reporting a total
of 130 recovered cases
and 23 active cases as of
Wednesday afternoon.
There are five current

The following are age hospitalizations and 26

ises.”
“Under Donald
Trump, Michigan lost
auto jobs even before
COVID hit,” Biden
said. “And what about
offshoring? Has Trump
delivered on stopping
companies from shipping American jobs overseas? You already know
the answer to that. Of
course not.”
Last week, Biden went
to Wisconsin and was
followed quickly by running mate Kamala Harris, who held her own
Labor Day events there.
Biden hit Pennsylvania
during the holiday and
will be back on Friday.
Trump is countering
with his own trip to
Michigan on Thursday
and also will be in Pennsylvania himself the following day.
Though the Biden
campaign often emphasizes that it sees multiple ways to secure the
270 Electoral College
votes it needs to win in
November, the quickest
path runs through Michigan, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin.
“If Biden wins any of
them — but particularly
any two, with some of
the other states that
are in play — it’s pretty
impossible for Trump
to win the Electoral
College,” said veteran
Democratic strategist
Joe Trippi.
Biden’s aides believe
his focus on the economy and Trump’s handling of the coronavirus
will resonate with key
voters nationwide but
particularly in states like
Michigan, which took
one of the sharpest hits
nationally from the pandemic.
The state’s unemployment rate spiked at 24%
in April, according to
the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. It has since
recovered to 8.7%, but
Michigan has nearly
414,500 fewer jobs than
it did when Trump was
inaugurated.
Previewing the
president’s own trip, the
Trump campaign looked
to paint Biden as deferential on China, arguing
that he cost American
industrial workers their
jobs. Trump’s allies have
long credited his hawkish China stance in 2016
as helping him win the
industrial Midwest,
which suffered job losses
overseas that Trump
blamed on Obama-era
trade policies.
Trump aides have frequently repeated claims
about Biden’s ties to
Beijing, but that’s proven
problematic in light of
Trump’s own kind words
for China earlier this
year in the early days of
the pandemic. They have
also ignored the ObamaBiden administration’s
efforts to save the American automotive industry, based in Michigan,
after 2008’s recession.
“Joe Biden is going to
the state of Michigan to
pretend to be a friend
and ally to workers in
the industrial heartland,” said Steve Cortes,

Each year, the supportive members of the Gallia County
Chamber of Commerce, along with their annual dues, choose
sponsorship opportunities. The largest annual sponsorship
opportunity is the Gallipolis River Recreation Festival. Due
to COVID-19 restrictions, the River Rec committee and Chamber Board of Directors were forced to cancel the annual
event. However, this left the Chamber staff to determine
a respectable and useful way to utilize those sponsorship
funds, benefit the community, and promote their members.
“This pandemic has been a struggle for everyone, residents
and businesses. Our River Rec supporters are typically the
greatest community support and we wanted to create
another meaningful way for them to uphold those values”,
stated Chamber Executive Director Elisha Orsbon.
On August 18th and 20th, Chamber Staff and board
president Jenni Swain met with sponsoring businesses and
the fourteen Chamber member schools to present dona-

tions acquired with the sponsorship funds from the canceled
festival. Each school received bottles of hand sanitizer, packages of paper towels, boxes of tissues, pencils, index cards,
notebooks, folders, crayons for elementary schools, ear buds
for middle and high school, among other necessary items.
Each school expressed their gratitude toward the businesses for donations. Gallia Academy High School Principal
Mr. Donley stated “On behalf of Gallia Academy High School
I'd like to thank OVEC and McDonalds for their kind donation. The class and hygiene supplies will help our students
and teachers greatly as we head into this school year. Our
school system couldn't function without the help and support from our community! This year, more than ever it will
take a village!” South Gallia Middle and High School Principal
Bray Shamblin added, “[We] are thankful and blessed to be
part of a community that cares not only for their community
partners but also the children of Gallia County. We appreci-

ate the Chamber of Commerce, their businesses, and their
commitment to meet and exceed the needs of everyone in
Gallia County.”
While making their first of three trips for supply purchases, Chamber staff touched base with Walmart Gallipolis
Manager, Rick Gainey, to inform him of the bulk purchases
being made and allowing him to confirm quantities. In favor
of the idea, Walmart donated a $200 gift card in support of
the project.
In response to the collaboration, Chamber President
Jenni Swain stated, “We were honored to deliver supplies
for our local schools from business sponsors. We are very
thankful for the staff at each of the schools and we are proud
of our business community for supporting them. We pray for
a safe and healthy school year for all.”

Healthy tips for COVID stress
We don’t have to tell
you that there are many
reasons you could be
experiencing COVID-19
stress right now:
- You’re afraid for your
health and the health of
those around you.
- Social distancing
causes feelings of anxiety
and isolation.
- You might be worried
about the future of your
job, income, school schedule or ability to even play
sports.
- New rules, regulations, and changes cause
you to constantly be on
your toes to make sure
you’re doing the right
thing.
These are only a few
reasons why you might
find your stress levels
higher than normal lately.
You might also find that
it takes less to overwhelm
you and longer to return
to a place of peace.

thing to remember is
that you are not alone.

surges past
Patriots, 7-3
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — A rather memorable
road trip.
The Point Pleasant boys soccer team scored five
second half goals and picked up its second straight
victory on Tuesday night during a 7-3 decision
over host Parkersburg South in a non-conference
friendly in Wood County.
The Black Knights (2-1-1) never trailed in the
contest as the guests stormed out to a 2-1 halftime
lead before finding themselves deadlocked at 3-all
with 15 minutes left in regulation.
PPHS, however, had three different players produce four goals over the final 13 minutes of play,
allowing the Red and Black to notch its first road
win of the season.
Adam Veroski — who recorded a hat trick by
night’s end — gave Point Pleasant a 1-0 lead in the
22nd minute following a penalty kick.
Kanaan Abbas made it a 2-goal game in the
37th minute on a free kick from 30 yards out. The
attempt bounced off of the PSHS keeper’s hands
and trickled into the net.
The Patriots, however, responded just before
the intermission as Kellson Cobble outleaped
everyone and headed in a corner kick in the 39th
minute, making it a 2-1 contest at the break.
Jared Davis tied things up in the 41st minute
after an unguarded shot attempt found the lower
far side corner for a 2-all contest.
Colton Young cleared a free kick inside the Point
box and sent it all the way down the other end of
the field. Veroski chased down the free ball and
put it in the back of the net in the 63rd minute,
again giving the Black Knights a 3-2 edge.
Miciah Jones answered right back for Parkersburg South as Point failed to clear a ball, allowing
Jones a clear shot from 20 yards away. The 65th
minute goal knotted things up 3-all.
Young sent a crossing pass to Braxton WatkinsLovejoy, who managed to redirect the ball into the
goal for what proved to be a permanent lead in the
67th minute.
Cael McCutcheon bounced a free kick off the
crossbar in the 74th minute, and Young was there
to bury the rebound attempt while increasing the
lead to 5-3.
Veroski added a penalty kick in the 76th minute
that doubled the lead, then Watkins-Lovejoy took

Steelers LB Shazier announces retirement
Patriots
From page 7
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier announced his
retirement on Wednesday, nearly three years
after a severe spinal injury forced the twotime Pro Bowler to put his career on hold.
The 28-year-old said in a social media post
that while he still loves the game, it is time
to get on to the next chapter in his life.
“Football gave me everything I wanted
and more,” Shazier said. “It taught me about
hard work, dedication. Took me to college
and the NFL, it made me money and gave
me a life most people could only dream
about.”
Shazier was a budding star when he hit
Cincinnati wide receiver Josh Malone in a
road game against the Bengals on Dec. 4,
2017. The crown of Shazier’s helmet struck
Malone in the back at the end of a seemingly
routine play. Shazier grabbed his lower back
in pain immediately after the impact and his
legs were motionless as medical personnel
tended to him on the field.
Shazer spent time in the hospital and
underwent spine stabilization surgery a few
days after the injury that brought his career
to a halt. He vowed that his career was not
over, and his comeback became a point
of inspiration that reached far outside the
world of the NFL.
He used the phrase #Shalieve during his
recovery, which included him walking on
stage at the 2018 NFL draft to announce the
team’s first-round selection. He continued to
work out regularly at the club’s practice facility and the social media posts chronicling
his comeback often went viral.
Shazier remained close to his teammates
and served as a de facto scout and assistant
coach each of the last two seasons, serving
as a mentor of sorts to 2019 first-round pick
Devin Bush — considered Shazier’s heir —
and others.
The Steelers placed him on the physically unable to perform list for both the
2018 and 2019 seasons before moving him
to the reserve/retired list in March. It was
considered a paper move at the time as
Shazier remained committed to pressing
forward.

NIH: Halted vaccine study shows ‘no compromises’ on safety
Bank
From page 1
By Lauran Neergaard
county have previously
expressed their support for the land bank
as a way to help their
villages and the area as
a whole.
While the land bank
is not a solution to
delinquent property
taxes, it can be a tool
to assist the county
in collection of those
taxes.
There is a process
by which properties
are acquired by the
land bank, which can
include the foreclosure
process or properties
which are delinquent
on property taxes and
have been through
sheriff’s sales but did
not sale.
The goal would be to
complete demolition
or other work on the
properties and then
sell them to interested
individuals, or to sell
the property with the
buyer then to fix it up.
The board is
reaching out to local
attorneys with regard
to working with the
board on properties,
including title work,
deeds, contracts and
other necessary legal
work.
The board will be
looking into grant
funding to assist with
the land bank, and has
received donations
from two local banks.
An account for the
land bank is being
established at Peoples
Bank.
The land bank board
is scheduled to meet
on Thursday, Sept. 10
at 10 a.m.

WASHINGTON — The suspension of a huge COVID-19
vaccine study over an illness
in a single participant shows
there will be “no compromises”
on safety in the race to develop
the shot, the chief of the
National Institutes of Health
told Congress on Wednesday.
AstraZeneca has put on hold
studies of its vaccine candidate
in the U.S. and other countries
while it investigates whether a
British volunteer’s illness is a
side effect or a coincidence.
“This ought to be reassuring,” NIH Director Dr. Francis
Collins said before a Senate
committee. “When we say we
are going to focus first on safety and make no compromises,
here is Exhibit A of how that is
happening in practice.”
Scientists have been scrambling to develop a vaccine
against the coronavirus since
the outbreak began, and the
U.S. has launched the world’s
largest studies — final-stage
testing of three leading candidates, with three more trials
set to come soon that will each
recruit 30,000 test subjects.
Public health experts are
worried that President Donald
Trump will pressure the Food
and Drug Administration to
approve a vaccine before it is

to vaccinate millions of Americans.
Collins said the public needs
to understand the process
behind telling when any vaccine candidate is ready for
widespread use — one that by
design is keeping both manufacturers and politicians in the
dark until the evidence gels.
About 150 COVID-19 infections in a study of 30,000 people should be enough to tell if
that candidate really is working
— and an independent group
of experts, not the FDA, gets
proven to be safe and effective,
a concern senator after senator
echoed on Wednesday.
“When it comes to a COVID19 vaccine, we can’t allow
President Trump to repeat his
alarming pattern of putting
politics ahead of science and
public health,” said Sen. Patty
Murray of Washington, the
committee’s ranking Democrat.
The U.S. has invested billions of dollars in efforts to
quickly develop multiple vaccines against COVID-19. But

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Around 48,000
Ohioans have been notified they received an
overpayment of unemployment benefits during the coronavirus pandemic, the state human

Who monitors the studies?
Every vaccine trial is overseen by a “data and safety
monitoring board,” or DSMB.
These boards include scientists and statisticians who are
experts in their fields but have
no ties to either the government or the vaccine makers.
The top priority: watching
for safety concerns, like the
one that sparked a DSMB in
Britain to pause AstraZeneca’s
vaccinations and alert its U.S.
counterpart.
But this is the group that
also will decide when each vaccine is ready to be evaluated by
regulators.
In each 30,000-person study,
about half the participants
are given the real vaccine and
half get dummy shots, and
neither they nor their doctors
know which is which. Only the
DSMB has the power to unlock
the code of who got which shot
and peek at how the volunteers
are faring before a study is
finished.
The FDA can’t even begin to
consider approving a vaccine
until the DSMB says the data
is good enough for that debate,
Collins stressed. Once that
happens, the FDA has pledged
to bring each candidate before
a public vaccine advisory committee.
