Chief Petty Officer Justin Arnold served aboard mission to Russia in 2011 in the foreground. the Carr and obtained it along with the ship’s battle flag after completion of the mission. He presented them to the elder Arnold during a visit. Dan, who served in the Navy as 2nd Class Petty Officer from 1963-1965, and is a member of Drew Webster American Legion Post 39, said he was overcome with emotion at the sight of them. As part of his remarks, Dan shared his view of American flag as a symbol of our resilience, and that these particular flags are an important piece of American and Navy history. During the Memorial Day Saturday, June 12, 2021 s $2 History of Flag Day By Lorna Hart Special to OVP Deeply embedded in our American mythos is the story of the seamstress Betsy Ross being commissioned by General George Washington to create a flag for the newly formed United States. According to the Library of Congress, Ross sewed American flags in the Ross family’s Philadelphia upholstery shop and probably met Washington, but was not the designer of the first flag. Instead, the credit is given to Francis Hopkinson. Hopkinson was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The only evidence pointing to him as the designer of the flag is a bill he submitted to Congress “for designing the flag, you owe me two casks of ale.” There is no picture, sketch, or written description of the original flag, so the designer cannot be indisputably identified, but the legend of Betsy Ross as the designer and maker of the first flag of the Revolutionary Period is so ingrained, See HISTORY | 14 See FLAG | 4 OVB supports Square One domestic violence shelter Staff Report GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Ohio Valley Bank (OVB) recently presented a $5,000 donation to Square One of Southern Ohio. OVB’s donation will benefit Square One with a much needed renovation, allowing for an update to the shelter’s existing electrical and plumbing systems.

IN BRIEF Ice shelf protecting Antarctic glacier is breaking up faster A critical Antarctic glacier is looking more vulnerable as satellite images show the ice shelf that blocks it from collapsing into the sea is breaking up much faster than before and spawning huge icebergs, a new study says. The Pine Island Glacier’s ice shelf loss accelerated in 2017, causing scientists to worry that with climate change the glacier’s collapse could happen quicker than the many centuries predicted. The floating ice shelf acts like a cork in a bottle for the fast-melting glacier and prevents its much larger ice mass from flowing into the ocean. That ice shelf has retreated by 12 miles between 2017 and 2020, according to a study in Friday’s Science Advances. And the crumbling shelf was caught on time-lapse video from a European satellite that takes pictures every six days. “You can see stuff just tearing apart,” said study lead author Ian Joughin, a University of Washington glaciologist. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Saturday, June 12, 2021 3 COLLEGE NEWS AND NOTES OU announces Dean’s List recipients ATHENS — More than 7,800 students qualified for the spring semester 2021 Dean’s List at Ohio University, including main and regional campuses.

Community Health Improvement Week is a national event to recognize community health professionals for their passion and dedication to improving the health of the communities they serve. Community Health Improvement week raises awareness, demonstrates impact, and celebrates the individuals and organizations that work to advance the health and well-being of their communities. They may focus on at-risk populations or make directed efforts to improve specific health concerns in a community. Some of those focused areas may include, but are not limited to: · early maternity care · diabetes screening and care · infant screenings · mental health screenings · elder care · vaccines · health awareness programs · obesity The Meigs County Health Department convened and has been working in conjunction with a group of individuals and organizations interested in the health and wellbeing of Meigs County residents for more than six years to address the health of our communities. This group, called Get Healthy Meigs!, completed the second Meigs County Community Health Assessment in 2020 that identified key health needs and issues through systematic and comprehensive data collection and analysis. and Mental The informaHealth subcomtion from the mittee was able Community to complete Health Assessmost of their ment now is goals which being used to included increascreate the second Meigs County Meigs Health ing integrated treatment so Community Matters residents can Health Improve- Michelle receive treatment Plan Willard ment in a pre(CHIP), which ferred location, will focus on increasing Medication Access to Care, Health Assisted Treatment and Promotion and Chronic assessment by helping to Disease, and Substance create a drug treatment Abuse and Mental court, increasing awareHealth.

The Workforce Development Subcommittee worked to increase the number of individuals enrolled in vocational and short-term training by holding Career Fairs at Southern and Meigs High Schools. The Workforce Development Subcommittee also tried to increase access to public health educational training by meeting with representatives of the University of Rio Grande to discuss potential program opportunities. The Healthy Behaviors Subcommittee created the Meigs County Active Transportation Plan with the hopes of increasing availability to safe walking/biking paths, and also took inventory of all of the areas in Meigs County that can be used for physical activity. Finally, the Healthy Behaviors Subcommittee purchased a refrigerator for the Mulberry Center Cooperative Parish food pantry that can be used to store fresh produce.

Racial tensions simmer as Southern Baptists hold key meeting or Mike Stone, a pastor from Blackshear, Georgia, whose core supporters view Mohler as insufficiently conservative. Both “have made statements that Black Baptists would find anathema, regarding racial matters and politics,” McKissic said via email. “I could not proudly call myself a Southern Baptist if either of them wins.” He also criticized them for supporting tight restrictions on women’s roles in the church, saying he and many other Black pastors favor letting women serve as assistant pastors or in other meaningful roles. McKissic is endorsing a third candidate, white pastor Ed Litton of Redemption Church in Saraland, Alabama. Litton will be nominated by Fred Luter, a New Orleans-based pastor who in 2012 became the SBC’s first and so far only Black president. A crucial dividing line in the presidential election and for the SBC overall is the issue of critical race theory, a term used to describe critiques of systemic racism. Last year Mohler and the five other SBC seminary presidents, all of them white, declared that critical race theory is “incompatible with” the SBC’s Scripturebased theology. The statement created friction far beyond SBC academia, particularly due to lack of Black involvement in its drafting. But Mohler hasn’t budged from his repudiation of critical race theory, and Stone has harshly condemned the concept. A resolution endorsed by Stone and many of his key allies, to be proposed at the meeting, denounces critical race theory as “rooted in Neo-Marxist and postmodern worldviews.” Stone’s allies also will seek to rescind a 2019 resolution suggesting that critical race theory could be useful as an analytical tool. McKissic said approval of any such measures might be another trigger for his exit. Last December he, Litton and Luter were among the co-signers of a statement by a multiethnic group of Southern Baptists asserting that systemic racial injustice is a reality. “Some recent events have left many brothers and sisters of color feeling betrayed and wondering if the SBC is committed to racial reconciliation,” the statement said. Relatively few of the SBC’s remaining Black pastors have echoed McKissic’s explicit threats to leave. Luter, as part of a recent video series titled “Why I Stay,” said the sometimes-hostile environment within the SBC made it all the more important for Black pastors to stay and seek improvements. The Rev. Marshal Ausberry, who heads the SBC’s association of Black churches, has urged respectful dialogue to resolve racerelated differences. Charles Jones, pastor of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in Clute, Texas, has chosen to keep his small Black congregation in the Southern Baptists’ Texas affiliate — the Baptist General Convention of Texas — in part because of the opportunity for his church to support missionary programs. Other churches have benefited from SBC ties for things like funding to construct a new building or the convention’s ministry certification programs. Jones considers the debate over critical race theory a distraction that lets people avoid serious discussions of social inequalities. “They don’t want to talk about schools, about why ghettos are ghettos,” Jones said. “We debate theory after theory, and nothing gets done.” The debate flared last year just as the SBC was releasing statistics showing that African Americans have been a primary source of growth within the denomination since 2000, even as white membership steadily declined. As of 2018 the SBC had about 907,000 African American members out of a total membership of 14.8 million, and roughly 3,900 predominantly Black congregations out of about 51,500. Asian American and Hispanic participation also increased, prompting Ronnie Floyd, president of the SBC’s Executive Committee, to hail America’s diversity as “an amazing opportunity” for future growth. The statistical report didn’t say how many African American congregations are dually aligned with historically Black Baptist denominations. As self-governing entities, Baptist churches can choose which groups to affiliate with and decide how much or how little to participate and donate. The Rev. Joel Bowman Sr., senior pastor of Temple of Faith Baptist Church in Louisville, said his African American church maintains ties to Southern Baptists at the state and local level, but plans to sever its nominal ties with the national convention. “The SBC to me is not currently a safe place for African Americans and other people of color,” he said. “There are probably a number of churches and pastors who would leave the SBC, but because they’re so financially tied to the denomination, they’re probably slower to leave.” 11 č� Annual !Ƭ�=�� Cġ��@: Lƥ�I8Ă�<I Jackson General Hospital Foundation’s 11TH ANNUAL GOLF CLASSIC FUNDRAISER Saturday, June 26, 2021 Saturday, June 26, 2021 *UHHQ�+LOOV�&RXQWU\�&OXE�‡�2OG�5WH�����5DYHQVZRRG��:9 Green Hills Country Club Four-personOld scramble (handicap of 40 per team) Rte 56, Ravenswood, WV $80 per player or $320 team only (includes green fees, cart and lunch) Shotgun start at 9:00ofam Four-person scramble (handicap 40 per team) $80 per3UH�UHJLVWHU�DW��������������RU�WH[W������������� player or $320 team only (includes green fees, cart and lunch) at 9:00 Day-of registrationShotgun begins start at 8:30 am am in front of clubhouse. at 304-372-2731 or text 304-532-7259 ACE Pre-register SPONSOR: 21 Country Market Day-of registration begins at 8:30 am in front of clubhouse. �������������������3UR�+DUGZDUH BOGEY SPONSOR: Bogey Sponsor: Constellium Constellium OH-70240819 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Race-related tensions within the Southern Baptist Convention are high heading into a national meeting next week. The election of a new SBC president and debate over the concept of systemic racism may prove pivotal for some Black pastors as they decide whether to stay in the denomination or leave. It could be a watershed moment for America’s largest Protestant denomination. The SBC was founded before the Civil War as a defender of slavery, and only in 1995 did it formally apologize for that legacy — yet since 2000 its Black membership has been increasing while white membership declines. Over the past year, however, several Black pastors have exited the SBC in frustration over what they see as racial insensitivity within its overwhelmingly white leadership. Depending on the outcome at the meeting in Nashville, the exodus could swell — or subside. Many Black pastors are comfortable with the SBC’s conservative theology and grateful for financial support, but do not want it to wade into conservative national politics or distance itself from the quest for racial justice. The Rev. Nate Bishop of Forest Baptist Church near Louisville, Kentucky, said some members of his Black congregation want to leave the SBC while others want to stay, and he intends to assess the “tenor and tone” of deliberations in Nashville to guide his decisions. “There’s a bigger question going on — will there even be an SBC in the next five, 10, 15 years?” Bishop said. “There’s going to be a move away from this national organization. The only way forward is going to be if we reject the fear-mongering that’s being projected day after day.” One of the SBC’s most prominent Black pastors, Dwight McKissic of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, said his church will quit the SBC if either of two leading conservative candidates wins the presidency: Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Eagle Sponsor: EAGLE SPONSOR: Dr. Holly Holly Hill-Reinert Dr. Hill-Reinert Dr. Shawn Reinert Dr. Shawn Reinert -*+�0HGLFDO�6WDϑ Become a sponsor by calling 304-372-2731.

That would be would be real outrage, given the need to get vaccines to some undervaccinated communities in the U.S. and the glaring gap in vaccinations and the inequity of vaccinations that we have globally,” said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, chair of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco. The U.S. averaged about 870,000 new injections per day at the end of last week, down sharply from a high of about 3.3 million a day on average in mid-April, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. President Joe Biden wants to have 70% of the adult U.S. population at least partially vaccinated by July 4. But the U.S. could well fail to meet that target. As of Friday, 64% of Americans 18 and older had had at least one dose, by the CDC’s count. Some states, especially in the Northeast, have already reached that 70% goal for adults, while places like Mississippi and Alabama are nowhere close. Amid the glut, the White House has announced plans to share 80 million doses globally by the end of June and also buy 500 million more doses of the Pfizer vaccine and donate them to 92 lower-income countries and the African Union over the next year. With demand stronger in Maine and Rhode Island, the two states both got 32,400 doses from Mississippi, where just 35% of people have had a first dose. Mississippi has returned an additional 800,000 doses to the federal government. The state has seen demand plunge to December levels, with only 14,000 doses administered there this week. Each week, states are allotted a number of doses from the government and are allowed to order shots from that. But more states, including Oklahoma, Alabama, Utah, Delaware and New Hampshire, have stopped placing orders for new doses in recent weeks because they have such a large inventory. That has added to the ballooning federal stockpile. COLLEGE NEWS AND NOTES OU announces Spring 2021 graduates with a Master of Social Work from the College of Health Sciences and Professions.

Russo Associated Press There was a time not so long ago, 2012 to be exact, when the big news in college football was conference commissioners simply using the word playoff when talking about the future of the sports’ postseason format. Less than 10 years later, and eight years into College Football Playoff era, the number of teams that will have a chance to win a national title in the postseason is poised to triple. The College Football Playoff announced Thursday it will consider expanding from four to 12 teams to settle the championship, with six spots reserved for the highest-ranked conference champions and the other six going to at-large selections. “This proposal, at its heart, was created to provide more participation,” CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock said. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, part of the group that has been working on an expansion plan, noted that only about 4% of major college football teams reach the playoff. In most other NCAA sports, more than 20% of the competing schools participate in the championship event. The playoff’s popularity seems to have waned as only a few teams have grabbed the majority of the spots since 2014. Alabama and Clemson have each made the playoff six times in seven years. Ohio State and Oklahoma have each been selected four times. That’s 71% of the playoff spots to just four of the 130 FBS teams. There was concern that down the stretch of the season, the pool of teams with a legitimate chance to make the four-team playoff had become too small. “This (proposed model) creates energy in October and November. The practical effect will be that with four to five weeks to go in the season, there will be 25-30 team with a legitimate chance,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. The CFP’s surprising announcement outlined a detailed plan, but there are still steps to be taken and time for discussion and possible tweaks. If the format is adopted — no earlier than this fall — there was no indication in the proposal about when an expanded playoff could be in place. The soonest would seem to be for the 2023 season. Implementation could also be as far off the 2026 season. A selection committee would still be involved, and the proposed 12-team playoff would not limit how many teams can come from any one conference. The four highest-ranked conference champions would receive first-round byes and teams 5-12 would face each other in four games played on campus sometime during the two-week period following conference championship weekend, See FOOTBALL | 10 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Sunday, June 13 Legion Baseball Glouster Post 414 vs. Meigs Post 39 at Meigs HS (DH), 1 p.m. Monday, June 14 Softball Man at Wahama, 6 p.m. Baseball Wahama at Man, 6 p.m. Point Pleasant at Logan, 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 15 Softball Wahama at Man, 6 p.m. Baseball Man at Wahama, 6 p.m. Logan at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 16 Softball Man at Wahama*, 6 p.m. Baseball Wahama at Man*, 6 p.m. Point Pleasant at Logan*, 6 p.m. * — indicates an if necessary third game in the series.

Wahama impacts Class A championships By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Class A state championships are complete, and Wahama certainly made an impact. The Lady Falcons claimed 13th overall, while the WHS boys squad took 19th at the WVSAAC Class A meet, held on Wednesday and Thursday at Laidley Field on the campus of the University of Charleston. The Lady Falcons — with points at the state meet for the third time in a row — scored in three of the four events they competed in, and finished with 14 points. Lady Falcons senior Abbie Lieving led the way for WHS, finishing second in the long jump, and tying for third in the high jump. In the long jump, Lieving turned in a distance of 15-10.5, a full inch ahead of the third-place finisher. The Class A girls high jump had a threeway tie for third place at 4-10, with Lieving, Buffalo’s Chloe Hale, and Webster County’s Holly Perrine. WHS junior Lacey Neal was fifth in the 100m dash with a time of 13.64. Neal qualified for the finals in the event after an 13.83 preliminary time, eighth fastest among finalists. The Lady Falcons 4x100m relay team of Lieving, Neal, Olivia In individual running events for WHS, Frye was 10th in the 400m dash with a time of 54.50 seconds on Wednesday, while Lloyd was 14th in the 1600m run at 5:06.84, and Humphreys took 14th in the 110m hurdles at 19.39 on Thursday. Doddridge County won the boys team title with a score of 122.5, a full 27 points ahead of runnerup Ritchie County. Ritchie County had both high-point finishers in Class A, with Olivia Cress scoring 40 for the Lady Rebels, and Gus Morrison tallying 31 for the RCHS boys.

Quarterfinals would be hosted by bowl games on New Year’s Day —- unless that falls on a Sunday, in which case those games will be played Jan. 2 — and an adjacent day. The semifinals would also be hosted by bowl games, as is the case now. The plan calls for no re-seeding of the bracket as teams advance. Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson cited the history of the bowls in college football and the desire to keep them “relevant.” He also added: “All these points are going to have an opportunity to be discussed these are the recommendations of four people. There are seven other commissioners that will get to weigh in next week in Chicago.” A 12-team field with six spots reserved for conference champions would guarantee at least one team from outside the Power Five conferences would be in the playoff each season. The Group of Five — which includes the Mountain West, American Athletic, Sun Belt, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA — has never had a team crack the field of four or been particularly close. Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey said the large jump from four to 12 made it more palatable to create automatic access points for conference champions. “That doesn’t work if you are reducing opportunities for those highly ranked,” Sankey said. The proposal will be considered by the full CFP management committee during an in-person meeting at the Big Ten’s offices outside Chicago on June 17-18. The subcommittee comprised of Swarbrick, Bowlsby, Thompson and Sankey presented the proposal to the rest of conference commissioners in a Zoom meeting Thursday, but got no feedback. The groups has been working on an expansion plan for two years. It might have been put forth sooner if not for the pandemic. The proposal includes no dates for semifinals and the championship game to be Locals played, but did indicate the semifinals would not be played as a doubleheader on a single day. Currently six bowl games have a three-year rotation for hosting the semifinals and the championship game site is open to bidders, similar to the what the NFL does with the Super Bowl. The current semifinal bowl rotation includes the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Cotton and Peach bowls, not they are not guaranteed to be hosts in the proposed expansion plan. “The process for selecting the six bowls that would rotate as hosts of the quarterfinals and semifinals (is) still to be determined,” the CFP plan said. The full management committee will determine next week whether it will recommend expansion to university presidents who make up the CFP oversight committee. The presidents are scheduled to meet with the management committee in Dallas on June 22. If the presidents sign off, the next step is determining over the summer whether the plan can be implemented and when. Final approval would likely come in September. The CFP is entering year eight of a 12-year agreement with ESPN. The deal doesn’t lock in a format but an assumption has been that any changes would come after that deal expires following the 2025 season. Hancock has said no changes to the format could be made this season or in 2022. The four-team playoff was implemented in 2014, a natural progression from the Bowl Championship Series, which matched No. 1 vs. No. 2 in the title game from 1998-2013. Before the BCS, and its predecessor the Bowl Alliance, college football used bowls and polls for decades to determine a champion. There were some playoff proponents, but detractors warned it would ruin the drama and highstakes of the regular season. Now, college sports leaders have not only embraced the playoff, but they’re banking on a big one to enhance the regular season. “Twelve keeps September important but also keeps November important,” Hancock said.

The original was 13 stripes and 13 stars to represent the 13 colonies. When two states were added, Congress passed a 2nd flag act to add a strip and a star for each additional state. This 15 star and 15 strip flag was known as The Star-Spangled Banner, and flew over Fort McHenry during the war of 1812. It was this flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the song that became the National Anthem. In 1818, Congress passed the 3rd flag act which took the design back to the original 13 alternating red and white stripes representing each of the 13 colonies, with one star representing each state on a blue background. Now as states entered the Union, a star would be added to the flag. The shape and arrangement of the stars were left to the flag makers preference until 1912, when President William Howard Taft standardized the star patterns. President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation in 1916 establishing a national Flag Day on June 14. In 1949, President Harry Truman signed into law legislation passed by Congress designating June 14 National Flag Day. The current version of the flag dates to July 4, 1960, after Hawaii became the 50th state on Aug. 21, 1959. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.
