According to the Buffington Island Battleﬁeld Preservation Foundation: The Battle of Bufﬁngton Island on July 19, 1863, was the major engagement during General John Hunt Morgan’s Great Raid into Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio and was the only signiﬁcant Civil War battle to be fought in Ohio. It was a decisive 2-hour encounter involving approximately 1,800 of John Hunt Morgan’s Confederate cavalrymen and 3,000 Union artillery, cavalry, and infantry supported by navy gunboats on the Ohio River. Morgan’s troopers were poised to cross the Bufﬁngton Island ford when a convergence of Union gunboats and troops thwarted the crossing, captured nearly a third of Morgan’s command, and scattered his forces to the north. Morgan was ﬁnally captured in Columbiana County on July 26. The battle is also noteworthy because it included two future presidents of the United States, all with Ohio connections: Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley. See ISLAND | 4 Staff Report POMEROY — Judging of 4-H projects continued with the food and fashion projects.

Fannie Grifﬁn McClendon and her Army colleagues never dwelled on being the only Black battalion of women to serve in Europe during World War II. They had a job to do. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was credited with solving a growing mail crisis during its stint in England and, upon their return, serving as a role model to generations of Black women who joined the military. But for decades, the exploits of the 855 members never got wider recognition — until now. The Senate passed legislation that would award members of the battalion, affectionately known as the Six Triple Eight, with the Congressional Gold Medal. The bill is awaiting action in the House, but is already too late for most 6888 members. There are believed to be only seven surviving, including McClendon. “Well, it would be nice but it never occurred to me that we would even qualify for it,” McClendon said from her home in Tempe, Arizona. “I just wish there were more people to, if it comes through, there were more people to celebrate it,” said McClendon, who has met with her local congressman to press for passage of the bill. The 6888th was sent overseas in 1945, a time when there was growing pressure from AfricanAmerican organizations to include Black women in what was called the Women’s Army Corps and allow them to join their white counterparts overseas. “I think that the 6888th, the command inherently knew that their presence overseas meant more than clearing that mail backlog,” said Retired Army Col. Edna Cummings, who was not a member of the 6888th but has been advocating to get them greater recognition. “They were representing opportunity for their sisters at arms back in the United States who were having a hard time dealing with the racism and sexism within the ranks.” The unit dodged German U-boats on their way to England and scrambled to escape a German rocket once they reached a Glasgow port. They were deployed to unheated, rat-infested airplane hangars in Birmingham, England, and given a daunting mission: Process the millions of pieces of undelivered mail for troops, government workers and Red Cross workers. The mountains of mail had piled up and troops were grumbling about lost letters and delayed care packages. Thus their motto, “No Mail, Low Morale.” “They kept hollering about wanting us to go overseas so I guess they found something for us to do overseas: Take care of the mail,” McClendon said. “And there was an awful lot of mail. … They expected we were gonna be there about two or three months trying to get it straightened out. Well I think in about a month, in a month and a half, we had it all straightened out and going in the right direction.” Case warrant, according to a news release from the Charleston Police Department the following day.

There are so many stories of units of color who were not recognized until decades after the war.” Still, Cummings said the time overseas with the Army left a lasting impression on the women, many of whom dismantled barriers in their professional lives.

But he acknowledged that most of the places seeing higher rates of the virus “are exactly the areas of the country that don’t want to do any of these things.” Lawler warned that what is happening in Britain is a preview of what’s to come in the U.S. “The descriptions from regions of the world where the delta variant has taken hold and become the predominant virus are pictures of ICUs full of 30-year-olds. That’s what the critical care doctors describe and that’s what’s coming to the U.S.,” he said.

Ohio Valley Publishing France’s Macron tries to slow delta variant, boost vaccines PARIS (AP) — Is France’s summer over already? Just three days ago, the country threw open its nightclubs for the ﬁrst time in 16 months, completing a protracted national effort at returning to a pre-pandemic normal just in time for summer vacation. But with the delta variant now driving resurgent infections across Europe, potential new restrictions loom. President Emmanuel Macron is hosting a toplevel virus security meeting Monday morning and then giving a televised speech in the evening, the kind of solemn speech he’s given at each turning point in France’s virus epidemic. This time, he’s expected to announce plans for a law requiring health care workers to get vaccinated, and may require special COVID-19 passes for restaurants or other day-to-day activities. Either move would be unusual in Europe, where most governments have shied away from vaccine requirements. Italy made the coronavirus vaccination obligatory for health care workers and pharmacists, and those who opt out risk suspension from their jobs or a salary cut. In Denmark, restaurants and public events require a digital pass showing you’ve been fully vaccinated or have a recent negative test. Some German states require the same for restaurants, though suggestions of making vaccines obligatory have prompted widespread unease. For France, Macron may also announce other measures: A return to limits on the number of people allowed in public venues that just reawakened in May after one of the world’s longest shutdowns. Or an announcement that France could start charging money for some virus tests, which up to now have been free for everyone on French territory. Any new measures will be relatively mild, but aimed at reminding the Island French that the pandemic isn’t over yet. “We have to live with the virus,” Europe Minister Clement Beaune said Sunday. “Living with the virus means we don’t reclose everything.” The government’s main weapon, and main worry, is vaccinations. France has vaccinated 40% of its population and vaccines are widely available for anyone 12 and over. But demand has ebbed in recent weeks — because of hesitancy, a sense that the virus is no longer a threat, and because some people decided to put off their shots until after summer vacation. Meanwhile, French restaurants and bars are thriving again, the Tour de France is drawing tightly packed crowds across the country, and Hollywood stars are posing arm-in-arm and maskfree on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Cheek kisses are making a comeback. As the La Bellevilloise nightclub reopened Friday in eastern Paris, the owner braced for the possibility that the party could be short-lived. But clubgoers were exhilarated at rediscovering the dance scene. Parisian Laurent Queige called it “a liberation, an immense happiness.” Clubgoer Sophie Anne Descoubès said she was impressed by the rigor of how the club checked her QR code showing she’d been either fully vaccinated or freshly tested, saying, “I don’t have any apprehension, just a great joy and the desire to stomp.” France’s virus infections started rising again two weeks ago, and health service SOS Medecins registered a slight rise in demand for emergency virus treatment over the weekend. The number of people in French hospitals and intensive care units has been declining for weeks, but doctors predict it too will rise when the increase in delta variant infections hits vulnerable populations, as it has in Britain and Spain. tant to forget, there are valuable lessons that need to be remembered,” Oiler said. “Our efforts From page 1 are to preserve as much of our history as we can Because of the signiﬁcance of the battle, the for future generations.” Included in the memoSons of Union Veterans rial service will be a hold a memorial service each year to honor those history of the battle presented by Cadot-Blesswho fought and died on ing Camp member Sam the site, and to keep the history of the event alive Wilson and music by acclaimed singer-songfor future generations. writer and Southeast The annual memorial Ohio native Steve Free. service will begin at 11 Free has been labeled a.m. on Saturday, July the “Appalachian Jimmy 17.

At a press brieﬁng, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the world’s grotesque vaccine disparity was driven by “greed,” as he called on drugmakers to prioritize supplying their COVID-19 vaccines to poor countries instead of lobbying rich countries to use even more doses. His plea comes just as pharmaceutical companies are seeking authorization for third doses to be used as boosters in Beth Sergent | OVP These kayakers paddle out on the lake at Krodel Park during a recent, sunny weekend.

WHO urged countries to recognize all of the vaccines it has authorized, including two Chinese-made ones. Countries that decline to do so are “undermining conﬁdence in lifesaving vaccines that have already been shown to be safe and effective, affecting uptake of vaccines and potentially putting billions of people at risk,” the U.N. health agency said in a statement this month. In June, the Serum Institute of India’s CEO, Adar Poonawalla, tweeted that he was concerned about vaccinated Indians facing problems traveling to the EU and said he was raising the problem at the highest levels with regulators and countries. Stefan De Keersmaeker, a spokesman for the EU’s executive arm, said last week that regulators were obligated to check the production process at the Indian factory. “We are not trying to create any doubts about this vaccine,” he said. AstraZeneca said it only recently submitted the paperwork on the Indian factory to the EU drug regulatory agency. It didn’t say why it didn’t do so earlier, before the agency made its original decision in January. The refusal of some national authorities to recognize vaccines manufactured outside the EU is also frustrating some Europeans immunized elsewhere, including the U.S. Gerard Araud, a former French ambassador to Israel, the U.S. and the U.N., tweeted this week that France’s COVID-19 pass is a “disaster” for people vaccinated outside the country. Public health experts warned that countries that decline to recognize vaccines backed by WHO are complicating global efforts to safely restart travel.

Individual EU countries are free to apply their own rules for travelers from inside and outside the bloc, and their rules vary widely, creating further confusion for tourists. Several EU countries, including Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, allow people to enter if they have had non-EU-endorsed vaccines; several others, including France and Italy, don’t. For Nsofor, the realization he could be barred was “a rude awakening.” After a tough year of working during the pandemic in Abuja, Nsofor and his wife were looking forward to a European vacation with their two young daughters, perhaps admiring the Eiffel Tower in Paris or touring Salzburg in Austria. Nsofor noted that the Indian-made vaccine he received had been authorized by WHO for emergency use and had been supplied through COVAX, the U.N.-backed program to provide shots to poor corners of the world. WHO’s approval included a visit to the Serum Institute of India factory to ensure that it had good manufacturing practices and that quality control standards were met. “We’re grateful to the EU that they funded COVAX, but now they are essentially discriminating against a vaccine that they actively funded and promoted,” Nsofor said. “This will just give room to all kinds of conspiracy theories that the vaccines we’re getting in Africa are not as good as the ones they have for themselves in the West.” Ivo Vlaev, a professor at Britain’s University of Warwick who advises the government on behavioral science during COVID19, agreed that Western countries’ refusal to recognize vaccines used in poor countries could fuel mistrust. “People who were already suspicious of vaccines will become even more suspicious,” Vlaev said. “They could also lose trust in public health messages from governments and be less willing to comply with COVID rules.” Dr. Mesﬁn Teklu Tessema, director of health for the International Rescue Committee, said countries that have declined to recognize vaccines cleared by WHO are acting against the scientiﬁc evidence. “Vaccines that have met WHO’s threshold should be accepted. OH-70244281 LONDON (AP) — After Dr. Ifeanyi Nsofor and his wife received two doses of AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine in Nigeria, they assumed they would be free to travel this summer to a European destination of their choice. They were wrong. The couple — and millions of other people vaccinated through a U.N.backed effort — could ﬁnd themselves barred from entering many European and other countries because those nations don’t recognize the Indian-made version of the vaccine for travel. Although AstraZeneca vaccine produced in Europe has been authorized by the continent’s drug regulatory agency, the same shot manufactured in India hasn’t been given the green light. EU regulators said AstraZeneca hasn’t completed the necessary paperwork on the Indian factory, including details on its production practices and quality control standards. But some experts describe the EU move as discriminatory and unscientiﬁc, pointing out that the World Health Organization has inspected and approved the factory. Health ofﬁcials say the situation will not only complicate travel and frustrate fragile economies but also undermine vaccine conﬁdence by appearing to label some shots substandard. As vaccination coverage rises across Europe and other rich countries, authorities anxious to salvage the summer tourism season are increasingly relaxing coronavirus border restrictions. Earlier this month, the European Union introduced its digital COVID19 certiﬁcate, which allows EU residents to move freely in the 27-nation bloc as long as they have been vaccinated with one of the four shots authorized by the European Medicines Agency, have a fresh negative test, or have proof they recently recovered from the virus. While the U.S. and Britain remain largely closed to outside visitors, the EU certiﬁcate is seen as a potential model for travel in the COVID19 era and a way to boost economies. The ofﬁcially EUendorsed vaccines also include those made by Pﬁzer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. They don’t include the AstraZeneca shot made in India or many other vaccines used in developing countries, including some Western countries, including the U.S. “We are making conscious choices right now not to protect those in need,” Tedros said, adding the immediate priority must be to vaccinate people who have yet to receive a single dose. He called on Pﬁzer and Moderna to “go all out to supply COVAX, the Africa Vaccine Acquisition Task Team and low and middleincome countries with very little coverage,” referring to the U.N.backed initiative to distribute vaccines globally. After a 10-week drop in global coronavirus deaths, Tedros said the number of COVID-19 patients dying daily is again beginning to climb and that the extremely infectious delta variant is “driving catastrophic waves of cases.” For more information, please call 304.675.6257. 2520 Valley Drive | Point Pleasant, WV 25550 | pvalley.org | 304.675.6257 �Sports 8 Wednesday, July 14, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Suns can hack and whack Giannis, but know he’ll keep coming By Brian Mahoney pain in his knee or shaking off hits to his face, the Suns know Antetokounmpo is going to keep attacking them.

Paul said Suns coach Monty Williams’ instructions are just to try to get in the 6-foot-11 forward’s way, but it’s difﬁcult to give too much attention because the Bucks have shooters such as Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez set up around the perimeter. Paul said the Suns will just stick with their game plan. “We’re going to keep trying to build a wall,” he said. Antetokounmpo is used to that. He recalls it being about two years ago when teams started to employ that defensive strategy of packing multiple players in his path to the basket. Minnesota Wild buy out Parise and Suter contracts By Stephen Whyno AP Hockey Writer Nine years after Zach Parise and Ryan Suter signed twin contracts together worth nearly $200 million with the Minnesota Wild, they are being bought out together in a stunning turn of events early in the NHL offseason. General manager Bill Guerin made the announcement Tuesday that the team is buying out the ﬁnal four years of each player’s contract, which were originally structured to last 13 years. It is a sudden end for a tenure that began with such promise when the two American stars signed identical $98 million contracts on July 4, 2012. Perhaps it was only ﬁtting they were a package deal on the way out like they were on the way in. Parise and Suter will enter free agency at the same time July 28. “It seemed like the right thing to do,” Guerin told reporters. “I felt this was the cleanest way. This way gives them more of an opportunity to go out and do what they can do.” Parise and Suter were signed through 2025 at matching salary cap hits of $7.538 million each year. The buyouts save over $10 million next season but extend dead money on the cap through 2029. They will combine to cost the Wild almost $15 million against the salary cap in 2023-24 and 2024-25 for Parise and Suter not to play for them. “Those years will be tough, but we’re going to have to do a very good job of drafting players and a very good job of developing players and injecting some younger, cheaper players into our lineup,” said Guerin, who took over in 2019 when longtime GM Chuck Fletcher was ﬁred. “This is a great opportunity for some of those guys.” Owner Craig Leipold, who spearheaded the master plan to add two upper Midwest products in the same free agent year in 2012, called Parise and Suter, “tremendous ambassadors for our team” who helped win a lot of games. Minnesota made the playoffs eight times in nine seasons since signing Parise and Suter but never got past the second round. That includes a ﬁrstround exit this season. That defeat, plus the Seattle expansion draft next week and emergence of younger players paved the way for the buyouts. Minnesota can now protect defenseman Matt Dumba and one other player from the Kraken instead of trading them. “There wasn’t one big reason,” Guerin said. “It was pretty much everything together as a whole: a tough decision to make but one that I feel that we need to make.” Suter and Parise are each 36. Parise turns 37 in late July. They will likely attract interest around the league in free agency, though for much shorter terms than last time. “I know they both have game left, and they’re going to help another team,” Guerin said. The speculation has already begun about Parise being a perfect ﬁt for the New York Islanders with GM Lou Lamoriello, who drafted him with New Jersey. And Boston would easily be able to slide Suter into Torey Krug’s old spot on the left side of the blue line. No team would need to commit 13 years, either. The collective bargaining agreement reached months after Suter and Parise signed in Minnesota limited contract lengths to seven years for free agents and eight for players re-upping with their current team. OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, July 15 Baseball Meigs Post 39 at Glouster Post 414, 6 p.m. Peter Morrison | AP Spain’s Jon Rahm talks to his caddie on the 2nd green during a practice round for the British Open Golf Championship on Tuesday at Royal St. George’s golf course in Sandwich, England. Rahm: A club foot at birth and a shot at history By Steve Douglas AP Sports Writer SANDWICH, England — Jon Rahm arrived at Royal St. George’s as a newly crowned major champion with the chance to join an elite group of players who have won golf’s two oldest championships in the same year. Yet, in one way, Rahm already is very different. In a revelation on Tuesday ahead of the British Open, Rahm said there was a reason for his unusually short backswing, and it couldn’t be further from the theories he has heard that the Spaniard has “tight hips.” “I was born with a club foot on my right leg,” said Rahm, who was eager to take the opportunity to reveal much more. “My right leg up to the ankle was straight, my foot was 90 degrees turned inside and basically upside down,” he said. “So when I was born, they basically relocated it, pretty much broke every bone in the ankle and I was casted within 20 minutes of being born from the knee down. I think every week I had to go back to the hospital to get re-casted.” His right leg, Rahm said, is a centimeter and a half shorter than his left, meaning he has reduced mobility and stability in his right ankle. Hence the short swing which he learned at a young age, a swing that has propelled him to being the world’s best golfer going into the ﬁnal major of the year. “Don’t try to copy me,” he said. “Don’t try to copy any swing out there. Just swing your swing.” It’s unique, and it works. Rahm won his ﬁrst major title at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines last month, lifting him back to No. 1 in the world ranking for the ﬁrst time since August 2020. He fell back to No. 2 this week behind Dustin Johnson, though there is no doubting who’s in the best form. In his last four starts dating to the PGA Championship in May, Rahm won the U.S. Open, has two top 10s and had a six-shot lead through 54 holes at the Memorial when he had to withdraw because of a positive COVID-19 test. There was a sense of relief at ﬁnally becoming a major champion — “I felt like for the better part of ﬁve years, all I heard is major, major, major,” Rahm said — but it hasn’t altered his determination and focus heading to the south of England, where he’ll be playing at Royal St. George’s for the ﬁrst time since 2009. That was the British Boys championship, and it was his ﬁrst ever tournament on a links course. “There’s still the next one to win,” Rahm said, “so I still come with the same level of excitement obviously and willingness to win.” A victory would see him become the ﬁrst player since Tiger Woods in 2000 to win the U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. With only Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen and Bobby Jones having also done so, Rahm would be joining quite the pantheon. He was preparing on Tuesday to get his ﬁrst proper look at the course, with its rolling, undulating fairways that can throw the ball dramatically ofﬂine and its rough that has been made thicker and greener by heavy rain that ruined Rahm’s hopes of a practice round on Monday evening. He had arrived in Sandwich a few hours earlier, only to get held up initially by coronavirus testing that is part of the strict protocols demanded by the R&A on players for an event where 32,000 spectators will be attending daily from Thursday. Brooks Koepka, the world No. 8 and a consistent contender at majors, played the front nine under a gray, threatening sky early Tuesday and wasn’t particularly impressed with a course that is unloved by many others, too. “It’s not my favorite venue that we’ve played,” Koepka said, referring to the 10 links courses on the British Open rotation. “Quite a few blind tee shots, kind of hitting to nothing,” the four-time major champion added. “Fairways are quite undulating. I don’t know, it’s not my favorite of the rotation, put it that way.” Tommy Fleetwood, runner-up to Shane Lowry at Royal Portrush in 2019 when the British Open was last played, said the rough was lush and long and the fairways were playing wider and softer because of the rain. “Obviously the way the bounces work, then it can easily be bouncing off the fairways but they’re not like massively tight,” Fleetwood said. “But if you do hit it ofﬂine, you’re going to be lucky to get a lie a lot of the times.” It has been 52 years since there was an English winner of the Open in England, and Fleetwood — distinctive with his long, curly locks — could be among the home nation’s best chances. He’ll be a popular ﬁgure among the biggest crowd since golf returned after the coronavirus outbreak. “Crowds there or not, I’m still trying to do the same things,” he said. “But I do agree that there’s deﬁnitely certain times, certain moments where crowds bring the best out of people.” Rahm can appreciate the feeling. He is an often spiky, temperamental player known for leaving his emotions out on the course. He’ll look to feed off the mass return of spectators and make more history. �Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, July 14, 2021 9 Better Health Starts With Us.

Pete Caster | Lewiston Tribune via AP Wildland firefighters watch and take video with their cellphones as a plane drops fire retardant on Harlow Ridge above the Lick Creek Fire, southwest of Asotin, Wash., on Monday. The fire, which started last Wednesday, has burned more than 50,000 acres between Asotin County and Garfield County in southeast Washington state. Firefighters battle big blazes across the West By Nathan Howard and John Antczak Associated Press BLY, Ore. — An army of ﬁreﬁghters labored in hot, dry and windy weather Tuesday to contain ﬁres chewing through wilderness and burning homes across drought-stricken Western states already sweltering in the second heat wave of the year. A high-pressure system that created the intense weather was weakening, but temperatures were forecast to remain above normal on the lines of more than 60 active large blazes burning in the West and Alaska. More than 14,000 ﬁreﬁghters and support personnel were attacking ﬁres covering close to a million acres (1,562 square miles, 4,047 square kilometers) of land, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The largest ﬁre in the United States was incinerating huge swaths of the Fremont-Winema National Forest in southern Oregon, where ﬁreﬁghters received a warning about conditions from incident commander Al Lawson. “As you go out there today — adjust your reality,” he said. “We have not seen a ﬁre move like this, in these conditions, this early in the year. Expect the ﬁre to do things that you have not seen before.” The week-old Bootleg Fire had ravaged about 316 square miles (818 square kilometers) by Tuesday morning, threatening about 2,000 homes and destroying more than 20 others, along with other minor structures.

Scientists say climate change has made the West much warmer and drier, and they warn that weather will get wilder as the world warms. They say extreme conditions are often from a combination of unusually random, short-term and natural weather patterns heightened by long-term, human-caused climate change. However, special studies are needed to determine how much global warming is to blame, if at all, for a single extreme weather event. Fireﬁghters have had some success in keeping the Bootleg Fire out of several small communities. “Quick actions from crews on the ground pre- vented numerous homes from catching ﬁre during nighttime ember showers,” a U.S. Forest Service statement said Monday. The ﬁre disrupted three transmission lines that provide electricity to California and the state’s power grid operator asked for voluntary power conservation Monday. The California Independent System Operator said Tuesday that the grid was stable and with the forecast for cooler temperatures another call for conservation was not expected. In northeastern California, progress was reported on the state’s largest ﬁre so far this year. The Beckwourth Complex, a combined pair of lightingignited blazes, was almost 50% contained after blackening more than 145 square miles (375 square kilometers) near the Nevada state line. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
