Division of Highways is committed to
making sure the project is complete,
with quality work and that all safety
devices are in place for the travelling
public before the much anticipated
roadway opens.”
Prior to the recent update, the previous projected completion date had
been late August with that announcement, which was made in June, cautioning against “unforeseen delays.”
In addition, Tuesday’s news release

COVID-19 is surging —
including all three counties in the Ohio Valley
Publishing area.
The CDC’s online
COVID Data Tracker
shows high spread levels in both Gallia and

substantial spread with
56.75 cases per 100,000
in last seven days.
As of Wednesday, the
Ohio Department of

In Mason County,
West Virginia Department of Health and
Human Resources has
reported a total of 2,123
cases (2,061 conﬁrmed,
62 probable) and 37
deaths since the beginning of the pandemic.
Of those, 57 cases have
been reported since July
1, 2021.
While cases are rising
in the area, vaccination
levels are not.
According to CDC
data, of Gallia County’s
approximately 29,898

received at least one
dose (35 percent) and
10,173 are fully vaccinated (34 percent)

Construction is progressing on the new Gallia County Jail facility, pictured here along Second Avenue on Wednesday. As previously reported by Ohio Valley Publishing,
the project is estimated to cost roughly $20 million, with funding secured via the issuance of tax-exempt bonds. Granger Construction is the construction managerat-risk for the project. At the groundbreaking in June, it was announced the 32,000-square foot facility was expected to take 16 months to complete — it will have a
basement, first floor and partial second story. The new jail will have the capability of housing 120 incarcerated individuals, but can also be expanded to offer 160-180
beds in the future, if the need arises.

“not think we are on the
threshold of moving in
that direction today,”
but, he added, “we’ve all
got to be smart enough
to be open-minded.”
He said he did not
receive any recommendations from his health
advisers to reinstate the
mask mandate, which
was lifted on June 20.
“But I will continue to
listen, and I will absolutely act on the advice
of experts,” he said.
The CDC also recommended indoor masks
for all teachers, staff,
students and visitors to
schools, regardless of
vaccination status.
There are 111 hospitalizations in the state, a
steady uptick since early
July. There were 121 new
conﬁrmed cases reported
on Tuesday, up from 51
cases a week ago.
The state has recorded
43 total conﬁrmed cases
of the delta variant.
“Our hospital numbers
are shooting up,” said
James Hoyer, a retired

major general who leads
the state’s coronavirus
task force, which he said
is now on its 501st day.
Ofﬁcials have repeatedly urged more residents to get vaccinated,
emphasizing that the vaccines are safe and offer
strong protection against
contracting the potentially life-threatening
disease. Nearly 59% of all
residents have received
at least one dose, while
49% are fully vaccinated.
Those numbers drop
sharply among young
people. Only 29% of
West Virginia children
aged 12 to 17 are fully
vaccinated against the
coronavirus, while 36%
of residents aged 18 to
29 are covered, according to Hoyer.
“Please quit following
the misinformation that’s
out there, particularly
across the internet and
social media sites. Talk
to someone who is a
medical professional,”
Hoyer said to those who
are vaccine hesitant.

TODAY IN HISTORY
By The Associated Press

Today is Thursday, July 29, the 210th day of
2021. There are 155 days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history:
On July 29, 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space
Act, creating NASA.
On this date:
In 1856, German composer Robert Schumann
died in Endenich at age 46.
In 1890, artist Vincent van Gogh, 37, died of an
apparently self-inﬂicted gunshot wound in Auverssur-Oise, France.
In 1914, transcontinental telephone service in
the U.S. became operational with the ﬁrst test conversation between New York and San Francisco.
Massachusetts’ Cape Cod Canal, offering a shortcut across the base of the peninsula, was ofﬁcially
opened to shipping trafﬁc.
In 1965, The Beatles’ second feature ﬁlm,
“Help!,” had its world premiere in London.
In 1967, an accidental rocket launch on the
deck of the supercarrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf
of Tonkin resulted in a ﬁre and explosions that
killed 134 servicemen. (Among the survivors was
future Arizona senator John McCain, a U.S. Navy
lieutenant commander who narrowly escaped with
his life.)
In 1968, Pope Paul the Sixth reafﬁrmed the
Roman Catholic Church’s stance against artiﬁcial
methods of birth control.
In 1974, singer Cass Elliot died in a London
hotel room at age 32.
In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford became the
ﬁrst U.S. president to visit the site of the Nazi
concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland.
In 1980, a state funeral was held in Cairo,
Egypt, for the deposed Shah of Iran, who had died
two days earlier at age 60.
In 1981, Britain’s Prince Charles married Lady
Diana Spencer in a glittering ceremony at St.
Paul’s Cathedral in London. (The couple divorced
in 1996.)
In 1986, a federal jury in New York found that
the National Football League had committed an
antitrust violation against the rival United States
Football League. But in a hollow victory for the
U-S-F-L, the jury ordered the N-F-L to pay token
damages of only three dollars.
In 1999, a former day trader, apparently upset
over stock losses, opened ﬁre in two Atlanta brokerage ofﬁces, killing nine people and wounding
13 before shooting himself to death; authorities
said Mark O. Barton had also killed his wife and
two children.
Ten years ago:
Norway began burying the dead, a week after
an anti-Muslim extremist killed 77 people in a
bombing and shooting rampage. Delaware carried
out its ﬁrst execution since 2005, putting to death
Robert Jackson III, who was convicted of killing
a woman, Elizabeth Girardi, with an ax during a
burglary.
Five years ago:
Pope Francis visited the former Nazi death
factory at Auschwitz and Birkenau in southern
Poland, meeting with concentration camp survivors as well as aging saviors who helped Jews
escape certain doom.

therapies. “It’s very, very hard to
ﬁnd extracurricular activities for
individuals with disabilities, so I
know how important this is.”
In 2018, life took Dorsey and
her husband out west for couple
of years, where she completed
her certiﬁcation in Casper Wyo.,
before she brieﬂy operated her
own therapeutic horse farm in
Rock Springs, Wyo.
But in late 2020, they decided
to move back to West Virginia
– Beaver, speciﬁcally – where
Dorsey is giving it another go.
She opened A Broken Spur
Riding Academy in October
and quickly recruited Amanda
Grifﬁth, her co-worker from
Glade Springs, to serve as a second instructor.
“We have 25 students right
now, but we’re working on growing our clientele,” she said of
the 501c3 non-proﬁt.
At the moment, Dorsey said
the majority of the students in
the program are able-bodied,
but she’s hoping to quickly grow

the number of students with disabilities as well as the number of
veterans participating.
“We can serve a wide range
of disabilities,” she said. “It
can be anybody on the autism
spectrum, someone with Down
syndrome, someone who is
paralyzed, individuals with
amputations, hearing impairments, individuals who don’t
have verbal communications,
veterans with PTSD.
“Equine-assisted therapy can
help people with a lot of things,”
she said, adding addiction to
the list. “Just being around the
horse is therapeutic in itself.”
Dorsey works with four
horses – Reno, Warrior, Wimpy
and Whiskey – and takes care to
match the horse to the student.
“Horses have different personalities,” she said. “If you
have higher anxiety, you would
ﬁnd calming relief in a horse
that’s more relaxed. If you’re
depressed and want to be more
energized, a horse that’s more
energized can kind of cheer you
up.”
Beckley resident Rucshelle

Khanna recently took her niece
6-year-old Grazia Rose Prosser
for an hour-long lesson.
“She had a lot of fun,” she
said of her “healthy rider”
niece, who spent her lesson atop
22-year-old Reno. “She practiced
balancing on a horse.”
Khanna, a clinical psychotherapist who volunteered with
equine therapy when she lived
in Manhattan, had visited A
Broken Spur twice before the
lesson and said she hopes to
volunteer.
“They’re great,” she said.
“She’s (Dorsey) really a teacher
and I learned a lot about horses.
I learned more the ﬁrst day than
I did at the other place where I
volunteered for months.
“They’re great teachers.”
Dorsey said volunteers are
something she’s always looking
for, as she and Gilbert teach all
aspects of horsemanship, from
cleaning stalls and grooming to
riding.
“We deﬁnitely need volunteers to help with lessons,” she
said, adding experience is not
needed.

Ohio picked 2nd in MAC East

Ohio quarterback Armani Rogers (18) splits the BGSU defense on his way
to the end zone, during a Nov. 28, 2020 game at Peden Stadium in Athens,
Ohio.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Predicting parity.
The Mid-American Conference recently released the
2021 preseason football poll, as
selected by a media panel of 22.
Over half of the conference
received at least one ﬁrst place
vote, with Ball State and Kent
State getting 11 apiece to lead
the West and East Divisions
respectively.
Ball State — the defending
MAC champion after a 38-28
win over Buffalo in the 2020
championship game — took
half of the ﬁrst place votes in

the West Division and ﬁnished
with a total of 114 points, 10
ahead of Toledo, which had
seven votes for ﬁrst and ended
up second.
Western Michigan claimed
the other-4 ﬁrst place votes in
the west and was third with
103 points, just one behind the
Rockets.
Central Michigan (68), Eastern Michigan (44) and Northern Illinois (29) rounded out
the poll in the West Division.
In the East, Kent State’s 11
ﬁrst place votes led to 112
points. Ohio picked up two ﬁrst
place votes and ended with 96
points, two ahead of Miami and
three ahead of Buffalo. The Red-

Hawks had ﬁve ﬁrst place votes,
while the defending MAC East
champion Buffalo claimed four
ﬁrst place votes.
Akron (39) and Bowling
Green (28) rounded out the poll
for the East Division.
The Bobcats were 2-1 in the
a COVID-19 shortened season
last fall, defeating Akron 24-10,
and Bowing Green 52-10 inside
Peden Stadium.
This is the MAC’s 75th anniversary season, and the 25th
MAC championship game will
be held at Detroit’s Ford Field
on Dec. 4.

Simone Biles, of the United States, watches gymnasts perform
Tuesday after she exited the team final with an apparent
injury at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The 24-year-old
reigning Olympic gymnastics champion huddled with a trainer
after landing her vault. She then exited the competition floor
with the team doctor.

For Biles, peace
comes with a
price — the gold
By Will Graves
AP Sports Writer

TOKYO — When you
spend the better part
of a decade redeﬁning
the possible within your
sport, the standards
change. Good is no
longer good enough.
Sometimes, great isn’t
either.
Simone Biles received
a crash course on it
ﬁve years ago in Rio de
Janeiro.
The American gymnastics star had already
won three gold medals
at the 2016 Olympics
when she began her routine in the beam ﬁnals.
Midway through her
set, the then 19-yearold lost her balance, as
tends to happen when
trying to execute worldclass skills on a piece
of wood narrower than
the average iPhone. She
reached down to steady
herself, preserving a
bronze in the process.
She was pumped.
Others weren’t.
“People were really
upset,” Biles told The
Associated Press in
May. “I’m like, ‘Guys
it’s still a medal for the
country and it’s still
a medal for myself.’
If anybody else was
going to get bronze
they would have been
cheering but it was Simone so they were, like,
pissed.”
Fast forward to team
ﬁnals in Tokyo on
Tuesday night, when
the “demons” Biles has
been grappling with
for years proved to be
too much. Spooked
when she couldn’t get
comfortable on vault
and burdened by what
she described as the
“weight of the world,”

the 24-year-old instead
took herself out of competition.
“I didn’t want to go
out there and do something dumb and get
hurt and be negligent,”
she said after the Americans took the silver.
“So, I knew for myself
that I had to take a step
back.”
Something that’s been
increasingly difﬁcult
since her return to the
sport in the fall of 2017.
She made a promise
to herself when she
came back that she
would be doing it on
her terms. Her way. She
spent much of the runup to Tokyo desperately
trying to hold onto that
vision. She won a world
championship in 2018
despite battling a kidney stone that left her
in agony and became
the most decorated
gymnast ever with a
ﬁve-medal haul in Germany a year later.
Everything was
primed for a golden
goodbye in Japan last
August. Then the coronavirus pandemic hit,
pushing the Games
back a full 12 months.
And everything had to
be recalibrated.
She fended off depression, steeling herself
to go on. There was a
brand to build. Sponsors to please. Fans to
honor. Critics — both
internal and external
— to silence. Much like
Olympic greats Michael
Phelps and Usain Bolt,
the 24-year-old became
a prisoner of her own
excellence.
To be fair, in some
ways she helped
build the walls. She’s

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Mychal Givens works against the Seattle Mariners in the seventh inning July 21 in Denver. The Cincinnati
Reds acquired the right-hander from the Rockies on Wednesday in exchange for two pitching prospects.

Givens traded from Rockies for prospects
CINCINNATI (AP)
— The Cincinnati Reds
added more help for
their struggling bullpen
by acquiring right-hander Mychal Givens from
the Colorado Rockies on
Wednesday in exchange
for two pitching prospects.
The Rockies got right-

hander Case Williams
and right-hander Noah
Davis, the Reds’ 26thrated prospect.
On Tuesday night, the
Reds acquired relievers
Luis Cessa and Justin
Wilson from the New
York Yankees for a player
to be named.
The 31-year-old Giv-

ens, who is due to be
a free agent after the
season, has a 2.73 ERA
and 27.4% strikeout rate
in 29 2/3 innings for
Colorado.
The 19-year-old Williams heads back to the
team that picked him
in the fourth round of
the 2020 draft. He was

traded to the Reds last
November in the deal
that also brought righthander Jeff Hoffman to
Cincinnati.
Williams has pitched
for the low-A Daytona
Tortugas this season,
posting a 5.55 ERA. The
24-year-old Davis is 3-6
with a 3.60 ERA in 13
starts with the high-A
Dayton Dragons.

US to play World Cup qualifier in Cincinnati
CHICAGO (AP) — The United
States will play its home World
Cup qualiﬁer against Mexico in
Cincinnati, ending a streak of ﬁve
straight in Columbus, Ohio.
The U.S. Soccer Federation
said Wednesday that the Nov. 12
match will be at TQL Stadium,
the 26,000-capacity venue that
opened in May as home of the
city’s Major League Soccer team.
The U.S. beat Mexico in World
Cup qualiﬁers at Columbus Crew
Stadium in 2001, 2005, 2009
and 2013, all by 2-0 scores. The
match against El Tri gained the
nickname “Dos a Cero.”

Mexico beat the U.S. 2-1 in
a 2016 qualiﬁer in Columbus
on an 89th-minute goal by Rafa
Márquez, a key home defeat in
the opening match of the hexagonal for 2018 qualifying as the U.S.
streak of seven straight World
Cups came to an end.
The U.S. plays its ﬁrst home
match of pandemic-delayed qualifying for the 2022 World Cup
against Canada on Sept. 5 in
Nashville, Tennessee, three days
after opening at El Salvador and
three days before playing at Honduras. The U.S. hosts Jamaica on
Oct. 7 in Austin, Texas, ahead

of a match at Panama three days
later and a home game against
Costa Rica on Oct. 13 whose site
has not been announced.
The match against Mexico
will be followed by a qualiﬁer at
Jamaica on Nov. 17.
The logistics of the opening qualiﬁer already have been
complicated by the decision of
German television broadcasters
to move the matches of Tyler
Adams’ Leipzig and Josh Sargent’s Werder Bremen to Sunday,
Aug. 29, which will delay their
trans-Atlantic travel.

Getting Burrow gameready will be a process for
the Bengals coaches, who
need to get the linchpin of

healing.
“First thing would be
conﬁdence, that he is ready

no thought about being

Cincinnati offensive coordinator Brian Callahan
said. “That’s a process that

thing is having conﬁdence
in his knee and be able to
go perform and not have to
worry about anything.”
Coach Zac Taylor won’t
rule out using Burrow in
preseason games if the
right situation presents
itself.
“At some point, you can’t
be overprotective,” Taylor
said, “It’s football. And
you’ve got to let him get

Burrow was putting up

Governments, businesses race to reimpose mask mandates
By Philip Marcelo
Associated Press

Governments and businesses are scrambling to
change course following
new federal guidance calling for the return of mask
wearing in virus hot spots
amid a dramatic spike in
COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations nationwide.
Nevada and Kansas
City were among the locations that moved swiftly
to re-impose indoor mask
mandates following Tuesday’s announcement from
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
The guidelines also call
on all schools to require
masks for students, teachers and visitors, and districts around the country
are trying to navigate the
rules.
In a handful of Republican-led states, lawmakers made it illegal for
schools to require masks.
South Carolina’s governor
said the state would not
reverse its mask restriction, but Arkansas leaders
are weighing whether

to revisit an April law
banning local and state
government entities from
requiring masks.
Republican Gov. Asa
Hutchinson has faced
growing calls to lift that
ban, at least for schools, as
virus cases and hospitalizations surge in the state.
Ford Motor Co., meanwhile, said it would reinstate face mask protocols
for all employees and visitors at its Missouri and
Florida facilities.
Florida and Missouri
are among the hardest-hit
states during the summer
surge in which the U.S.
is now averaging more
than 60,000 new cases a
day, driven by the highly
contagious delta variant
spreading through unvaccinated populations.
In Springﬁeld, Missouri, a hospital expanded its morgue capacity
as the death toll began
to soar. Steve Edwards,
the CEO of CoxHealth,
said at a news conference Tuesday that his
company brought in temporary cooling equipment

Susan Walsh | AP pool, file

Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, says new mask-wearing guidance, coupled with
higher rates of vaccination against COVID-19, could halt the
current escalation of infections in “a couple of weeks.” Walensky
told “CBS This Morning” she hopes more stringent mask-wearing
guidelines and other measures won’t be necessary as the country
heads into the fall.

because 75 patients had
died this month — 19
just since Friday — at the
Springﬁeld hospital and
other system hospitals in
the region.
CDC Director Rochelle
Walensky said Wednesday
that her agency’s updated
guidance was prompted
by new data suggesting
vaccinated people can
pass on the virus in rare
cases.
“I know this is not a

message America wants
to hear,” she told CNN.
“With prior variants,
when people had these
rare breakthrough infections, we didn’t see
the capacity of them to
spread the virus to others, but with the delta
variant, we now see that
you can actually now pass
it to somebody else.”
Walensky stressed
that COVID vaccines are
working by preventing

greater levels of hospitalization and death.
Unvaccinated people,
she also noted, account
for the vast number of
new infections. Twothirds of the vaccineeligible population in the
U.S. has received at least
one dose.
“We can halt the chain
of transmission,” she told
“CBS This Morning” on
Wednesday. “We can do
something if we unify
together, if we get people
vaccinated who are not
yet vaccinated. If we
mask in the interim, we
can halt this in just a matter of a couple of weeks.”
In Provincetown, Massachusetts, where ofﬁcials
earlier this week reimposed an indoor mask
requirement following a
surge in COVID-19 cases
this month, store owner
Patrick Patrick says he
doesn’t mind asking customers to mask up once
more.
The owner of Marine
Specialties, a long running Army-Navy store,
had been leery of ofﬁcials

dropping virus safety
mandates ahead of what
many expected would be
a busy summer season.
He even tried to require
customers to mask up
in his store through the
summer, before ﬁnally
relenting in June.
“If we’d stuck with
masks all along, I don’t
think we’d be having this
conversation,” Patrick
said, adding that he’s
required all his staff to be
masked and vaccinated.
“They’re not entirely fun,
but we wore them all last
summer, and we didn’t
have a single case in
Provincetown. Now see
where we’re at.”
As of Tuesday, the town
had reported more than
750 cases of COVID-19
associated with the most
recent cluster, which
started around the busy
July 4th holiday.
Ofﬁcials have said
many cases are so-called
breakthrough infections
in vaccinated people.
Three people have been
hospitalized, but no one
has died.

New chief faces possible DOJ probe, community distrust
By Farnoush Amiri and
Andrew Welsh-Huggins
Associated Press/Report for
America

COLUMBUS, Ohio —
The new Columbus police
chief is no stranger to federal oversight. In Elaine
Bryant’s last job as deputy
chief of Detroit police, the
department was under a
consent decree for more
than a dozen years — the
majority of her career.
So as the ﬁrst Black
woman to hold the post

in Ohio’s capital city
awaits the Department
of Justice’s decision of
whether to review the
force, Bryant is starting
to make changes of her
own.
Should the government
intervene in the agency,
“I’m ready for it,” Bryant told The Associated
Press. “If it doesn’t come,
I’m ready to push this
department forward and
still manage to make the
changes that I believe are
necessary.”

Bryant’s selection in
June is part of historic
changes underway at
the police department
in Ohio’s largest city.
In April, city leaders
requested a Justice
Department investigation
of patterns and practices
in the force that may have
violated Black residents’
civil rights, saying that
despite some progress,
the city needs additional
help because of “ﬁerce
opposition” to reform
within the ranks.
The ﬁrst priority on
Bryant’s list is addressing the unprecedented
increase in crime and
homicides the city is facing. Since January, the
city has seen 116 homicides, on track to surpass
the previous annual
record of 175 in 2020.
But the current spike is
not unique to Columbus
or Ohio. Other major cities around the U.S. are
also on track to outpace
last year’s homicide rate.
What this looks like on
the ground is a collision
of tensions arising from
the anti-police sentiment
in the wake of George
Floyd’s killing last summer with the urgent need
for public safety while a
record number of ofﬁcers
are leaving the ﬁeld.
But Bryant doesn’t see
reforming the system and
“humanizing the badge,”
as conﬂicting objectives.
It is important for
the community to have
“interactions with police
ofﬁcers that are positive,
that don’t always include
a police-run,” Bryant said.
“It shouldn’t be an interaction that was based on
just something tragic happening.”
But when those interactions are negative, the
new chief will not hesitate to call out ofﬁcers for
wrongdoing.
“I’m going to hold
them to a high standard
of excellence and I’m
going to support them.

But when they do wrong,
I’m going to hold them
accountable for that as
well,” she added.
She made good on the
former promise on Saturday, the day after a white
ofﬁcer on special duty
and a store clerk tried to
restrain a Black customer.
A witness ﬁlmed the
encounter in a widely-circulated video in which a
bystander could be heard
saying the man was doing
nothing wrong. Bryant
responded quickly saying
the video does not show
the whole story and that
the ofﬁcer “did exactly
the right thing.”
Bryant’s statement
won praise from the head
of the Columbus police
union, which has had a
rocky relationship with
Columbus Mayor Andrew
Ginther in recent years.
“We need to see more
of that, more support,
more leadership—is
what that is—for these
ofﬁcers,” union president
Keith Ferrell said Tuesday. He added: “These
ofﬁcers need to know,
that are doing one of the
most difﬁcult jobs in this
country, that they will be
supported when they’re
right.”
The city council took a
historic step on Monday
to redeﬁne its relationship with the police
department, approving a
three-year contract with
the police union that
empowers the city’s ﬁrst
civilian police review
board and an independent
inspector general’s ofﬁce.
Ofﬁcers must provide
testimony and documents at the investigatory
ofﬁce’s request under
threat of discipline up
to and including ﬁring,
under the agreement. Voters approved the civilian
review process in 2020.
The new contract also
provides $200,000 buyouts for up to 100 ofﬁcers
with at least 25 years of
experience, with a goal

The new Columbus Division of Police Chief Elaine Bryant speaks
during her introductory news conference June 2 at the Coleman
Government Center in Columbus. Bryant is facing challenges
ranging from a record number of homicides to longtime distrust of
the force by Columbus residents. Bryant is a former deputy police
chief in Detroit, selected to run the department earlier this year by
Democratic Mayor Andrew Ginther. She is the first Black woman to
lead the agency.

of clearing the decks of
employees who might
not be on board with
the department’s new
direction. As part of the
contract, the city also
plans to beef up efforts
to recruit new and more
diverse ofﬁcers. New
ofﬁcers could make more
than $100,000 annually
after three years under
the new contract.
“If you’re going to
police in the city of
Columbus, you have to
buy into the vision and
leadership of Chief Bryant around change and
reform,” Ginther said
Monday. He called the
new contract for the
agency’s 1,900 ofﬁcers,
which also includes a 14%
pay raise over three years,
the most progressive in
city history.
Bryant’s predecessor,
Thomas Quinlan, was
forced out in January following the uproar over
white ofﬁcer Adam Coy’s
fatal shooting of Andre
Hill, a 47-year-old Black
man, on Dec. 22. Coy was
ﬁred and has pleaded not
guilty to murder and reckless homicide charges.
Coy’s body camera
was not activated but
captured the shooting —
without audio—thanks to
an automatic 60-second
lookback feature. The

new police union contract
extends that lookback feature to two minutes and
includes audio.
The agency faced
renewed criticism after
a white ofﬁcer shot and
killed Ma’Khia Bryant,
a 16-year-old Black girl,
on April 20 as the teen
charged at a woman with
a knife. The national
Fraternal Order of Police
called the ofﬁcer’s action
“an act of heroism, but
one with tragic results.”
Later in April, a federal
judge determined that
police in Ohio’s capital
city ran “amok” last year
when responding to
demonstrations against
racial injustice and police
brutality by using physical violence, tear gas and
pepper spray against
protestors without provocation.
Bryant, 48, will earn
$230,000 a year. She also
brought along a Detroit
police ofﬁcial to serve as
an assistant chief outside
of the normal command
structure, a ﬁrst for the
Columbus department
after a policy changed
pushed by Ginther to give
the new chief more leeway to enact changes.
Bryant said she sees
this moment in Columbus’ history as one of
opportunity.

Group seeks legislation to legalize recreational pot
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A
pro-marijuana group said it will
submit signatures to the Ohio
Attorney General’s Ofﬁce on
Tuesday in an effort to have the
Republican-led Legislature legalize
recreational marijuana.
Attorney Tom Haren, a spokesperson for the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, said
the submission of the ﬁrst 1,000
signatures will require the Attorney General’s Ofﬁce to review and
approve petition language within

10 days.
If successful, backers would then
need to collect nearly 130,000 valid
signatures to put the issue before
lawmakers, who will then have
four months to decide. Should the
Legislature reject the measure, supporters can gather another 130,000
signatures to put the issue on the
statewide ballot.
The Legislature legalized medical marijuana in 2016. Ohio’s ﬁrst
dispensaries opened in January
2019.

The new proposal would allow
Ohioans age 21 and older to buy
and possess 2.5 ounces (71 grams)
of marijuana and allow people to
grow as many as six plants inside
their homes.
Medical marijuana dispensaries,
processors and cultivators could
seek licenses for recreational marijuana and have exclusive rights for
two years.
Haren said there is bi-partisan
support for recreational marijuana
legalization.

Tribune, Christian was on the latest season of NBC’s
The Voice on “Team Blake.” Christian is a graduate of
Gallia Academy High School.
Christian returned home earlier this summer for
a performance at River Rec and Pomeroy’s Kickin’
Summer Bash.
Christian spoke to the Gallipolis Daily Tribune
this spring, saying of Coach Blake Shelton, “It is
absolutely a dream to work with an artist that has all
the accomplishments that [Shelton] does under his
belt. He’s super honest. He’ll tell you if something is
not working and he will help you ﬁgure it out. He’s
very artist oriented and he understands it.”
Christian said it was an honor to represent Gallia
County during the experience.
“Going out there and being able to represent
[people in Gallia County] and my hometown, that
was really humbling,” Christian said. “I want people
to know even if you grow up in a small town, you can
still make it. You can still have dreams. You can still
be on a big stage like that and it doesn’t matter where
you come from. If you want something bad enough,
it’s possible.”
Hotel California, “The Original Eagles Tribute”
band, will be taking the stage on Saturday, Aug. 7 at
8:30 p.m. The tribute band is comprised of members
Andy Lapointe on bass and vocals; Mike Dimoulas on
guitars, keyboards and vocals; Rick Spyder on guitar

and vocals; and Kevin O’Donnell on drums and vocals.

Hotel California began touring in the mid-1980s.
According to the band’s website, “For over three
decades now Hotel California have been recreating
the legendary sound of The Eagles, and thrilling
audiences all over the world. The band set the bar
in 1986, and they’ve remained the industry leading
substitute for The Eagles ever since. Playing to huge
outdoor and arena audiences, sharing bills with some
of rock’s legends, and going places no tribute band has
gone before. A long run by any measure, but it begs
the question - what makes Hotel California so special?
Well, incredible lead vocal similarity, intensely
accurate instrumental work, soaring harmonies, and
top ﬂight live performances, just for starters. These
are the band’s hallmarks, and the foundation on which

they’re still going stronger than ever!”
As the band’s website also stated, “If you love The
Eagles, then welcome to the Hotel California – you’ve
just found the next-best thing.”

each truck crosses the scale with fuel and driver in it.

One class ran heavily modified at a previous pull. This truck had a ladder bar frame, an aftermarket
