Biden decides to stick with Aug. 31 final pullout from Kabul By Jonathan Lemire, Robert Burns and Ellen Knickmeyer Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has decided to stick with his Aug. 31 deadline for completing the U.S.-led evacuation from Afghanistan, an administration official said Tuesday. The decision reflects in part the U.S. military’s concern about heightened security threats to the massive airlift that began ten days ago. A Taliban spokesman, speaking prior to word of Biden’s decision, reiterated that the militant group would oppose any extension of the deadline. It has allowed the airlift to continue without major interference. Pressure from U.S. allies and both Democratic and Republican lawmakers, veterans groups and refugee organizations has grown for Biden to extend his deadline, which he set well before the Taliban completed its lightning takeover of Afghanistan on Aug. 15. It remains unclear whether the airlift from Kabul’s international airport can get out all American citizens and other foreigners by then, as well as former military and translators and other at-risk Afghans who fear for their lives under Taliban rule. Some Republicans bristled Tuesday at the U.S. seeming to comply with a Taliban edict. “We need to have the top priority to tell the Taliban that we’re going to get all of our people out, regardless of what timeline was initially set,” said Rep. Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican. CONTACT US 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2021 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition. All rights reserved.

(AP) — An electric utility will evaluate its next steps after regulators in Virginia rejected a rate increase request aimed at extending the life of some coal-fired generating plants in West Virginia, a company spokesman said. The Virginia Corporation Commission on Monday rejected American Electric Power subsidiary Appalachian Power’s request to make upgrades to comply with federal environmental regulations and pass the costs on to consumers, West Virginia Public Broadcasting reported. The upgrades would have kept the John Amos plant in Winfield and the Mountaineer power plant in New Haven operating through 2040. Under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules, failing to make those upgrades would require the plants to close in 2028. The Virginia commission had to weight in on the proposal because customers in Virginia are served by the West Virginia plants. The West Virginia Public Service Commission earlier granted an upgrade request involving the two plants along with the Mitchell plant in Moundsville, West Virginia, which is jointly operated by AEP subsidiaries Wheeling Power and Kentucky Power. But Kentucky regulators last month rejected Kentucky Power’s portion of the upgrades. Appalachian Power spokesman Phil Moye said in a statement the company will evaluate its options, “determine the best path forward to meet the resource needs in each state, and return to the commissions if necessary for consideration of our updated costs and plans.” GALLIA, MEIGS COMMUNITY BRIEFS Editor’s Note: Gallia Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

PREP ROUNDUP Meigs outlasts Southern in volleyball opener By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — So much for opening night jitters. Both Meigs and Southern battled back from 1-game deficits and only eight points separated the two teams by night’s end Monday as the visiting Lady Marauders held on for a 23-25, 25-20, 25-15, 17-25, 15-12 victory in a non-conference volleyball match. Meigs (1-0) went through eight ties and four lead changes before breaking a 10-all tie in the finale, and Maggie Musser served up three consecutive points that allowed MHS to build a 14-10 cushion. SHS (0-1) rallied back to within 14-12, but the Lady Marauders broke serve and warpped up the 3-2 match decision in the process. Lady Raiders win season opener BIDWELL, Ohio — A little bit of extra work early on made a big difference down the stretch. Host River Valley held on to win the opening game by a minimal 2-point margin and progressively got better by night’s end Monday following a 26-24, 25-19, 25-14 victory over Federal Hocking in a non-conference volleyball match in Gallia County. The Lady Raiders (1-0) recorded 10 service aces and had 29 kills in the straight-game triumph. Kyndall Beaver led hosts with three aces, with Leah Roberts, Chloe Litchfield and Maddie Hall each providing two service aces. Javan Gardner led the net attack with seven kills, followed by Maddie Hall and Riley Bradley with six kills apiece.

Conference officials have been discussing the idea for weeks, but commissioners Kevin Warren of the Big Ten, Jim Phillips of the ACC and George Kliavkoff of the Pac-12 — all relatively new to their positions —acknowledged the plan publicly for the first time. “There’s no contract. There’s no signed document. There doesn’t need to be,” Kliavkoff said. The move comes less than a month after the Southeastern Conference invited Texas and Oklahoma to join the league and create a 16-school league by 2025. The move sent shockwaves through college athletics and will leave the Big 12 without its two premier schools in the paydirt sport of football. The ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 hope its alliance of 41 schools that span from Miami to Seattle leads to stability at the top of bigtime college sports and thwarts future realignment. The alliance is also being formed as the NCAA begins the process of handing off more responsibility to conferences and schools to run college sports, and with a proposal to expand the College Football Playoff in the pipeline. The scheduling piece could lead to multiple nonconference football games per season between the league members, creating new and valuable television inventory. Just how soon that might happen wasn’t clear: Nonconference football schedules are typically made years in advance and many schools already have mostly full slates in the coming seasons. For example, Ohio State has a home-andhome series with Alabama set for 2027 and 2028. It is unclear how an ACC-Big Ten-Pac-12 alliance would account for future games already in place and traditional ACC-SEC rivalries such as Clemson-South Carolina and Georgia-Georgia Tech. An alliance involving the conferences could impact basketball scheduling more immediately, where schedules are usually made months, instead of years, in advance.

By Pat Eaton-Robb AP Sports Writer Ohio State freshman Jack Sawyer already has a new truck thanks to an endorsement deal under new rules that allow him to profit from the use of his name, image or likeness. If any of the defensive end’s teammates are jealous of Sawyer’s relationship with actor Mark Wahlberg’s auto dealership, they are so far keeping it to themselves. “I think it’s great that guys are able now to go out, get these deals and get these things that they wouldn’t have been without NIL,” said offensive lineman Luke Wypler, using the nowfamiliar abbreviation for the new form of athlete compensation. “Even like Jack’s truck and all those kind of things, I think those are great. I think that only promotes that it’s Buckeye Nation that these people around Columbus will help you and try to give you things and try to make you better.” The money has been flowing since the NCAA Nati Harnik | AP file Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim (24) is among the college athletes who can begin making money from the use of their names, images and likenesses, but that has raised concerns over how the new rules will affect team chemistry. lifted its ban on NIL money July 1. Many deals are modest but some athletes have inked deals with substantial money; Alabama quarterback Bryce Young has a deal approaching seven figures, according to his own coach. There is some concern the sudden wealth might widen the divide between the haves and have nots and disrupt one of the most important intangles in sports: team chemistry. “It’s not going to be all about the team or your university anymore,” said Stacy Warner, a sports management professor at East Carolina. “People are going to want the ball more. People are going to want to make those big plays to get their names in the paper and get on a highlight reel somewhere, because they see the dollar signs for doing that.” Hall of Fame basketball coach Geno Auriemma of UConn, whose team includes Paige Bueckers, the biggest star in women’s college basketball, warns that NIL will not be equitable. He said he’s happy that athletes like shots on Monday during a non-conference golf quad at Riverside Golf Club. The White Falcons posted a winning total of 179, which was four strokes better than the runner-up effort of 183 from the Black Knights. Federal Hocking (197) was third, while Parkersburg Catholic had only three golfers and did not record a team score. Mason Jackson of Federal Hocking won medalist honors with a 4-over par round of 39. Brennen Sang of PPHS was the overall runnerup with a 40. Connor Ingels led the White Falcons with a 42, followed by Brycen Bumgarner and Mattie Ohlinger with respective efforts of 43 and 45. Ethan Gray completed the winning mark with a 49, while Casey Greer also shot a 52 for WHS. Joseph Milhoan followed Sang for PPHS with a 45, while Branson Shepard and Johnny Porter both carded 49s to complete the team score. Elijah Gray and Joseph Tomblin also shot 52 and 53, respectively, for Point Pleasant. Blake Lewis paced PCHS with a 9-hole score of 45. to start opposite Garrett before the Browns signed Clowney to a one-year, $8 million contract in April.

State laws prohibited Mississippi State from playing integrated teams, but the Maroons — now Bulldogs — slipped out of town under cover of darkness to play Loyola in East Lansing, Michigan.

THURSDAY lutely idealize what the perfect athlete looks like, which is male and most often white,” she said. “I think that those who are coming to support college athletics through name, image, likeness-type contracts, they’re going to be falling victim to these same sort of racialized gender biases. There’s also going to be a bias for those who appear to be most straight.” She noted that in women’s basketball, where women of color make up the majority of the players, it is Bueckers, a blonde, white woman, and another white player, Stanford’s Cameron Brink, who have made the headlines by signing big marketing deals. Less than two months into the NIL era, some players say they are aware of the potential for divisiveness and are are actively working to combat it. Minnesota quarterback Tanner Morgan and running back Mohamed Ibrahim said they are donating money from an autograph session to their offensive line. IN BRIEF © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM his sophomore guard, who already has trademarked the name “Paige Buckets,” can make money while in school. “But don’t be complaining when your favorite team falls apart because five guys are transferring, because they don’t like the fact that five other guys are getting a lot of money,” he said. Warner said it’s possible that some college teams, especially in low-revenue sports, may disappear entirely if companies and organizations shift their marketing spending to athletes instead of an athletic department. And she wondered what might happen to the team dynamic when some players begin making more money than some of their coaches. Nefertiti Walker, the chief diversity officer at the University of Massachusetts, said it is clear NIL will provide some needed financial opportunities for minority athletes. But she fears that there will also be negative impacts on gender and racial equity. “We as a society abso- Elizabeth 97/71 Spencer 93/70 Buffalo 94/71 Ironton 94/72 Milton 94/72 St. Albans 95/71 Huntington 92/70 NATIONAL FORECAST 110s 100s 90s Seattle 75/57 80s Billings 76/54 70s 60s 50s 40s 30s 20s San Francisco 10s 68/55 Denver 0s 92/63 -0s Los Angeles -10s 88/69 T-storms Rain El Paso Showers 98/74 Snow Flurries Chihuahua Ice 90/65 Cold Front Warm Front Stationary Front Clendenin 94/70 Charleston 92/70 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

More than 80 school districts or charter networks have closed or delayed in-person classes for at least one entire school in more than a dozen states. Others have sent home whole grade levels or asked half their students to stay home on hybrid schedules. The setbacks in mostly small, rural districts that were among the first to return dampen hopes for a sustained, widespread return to classrooms after two years of schooling disrupted by the pandemic.

Jim first participated in the fair when we celebrated our 100th anniversary of the fair and had not missed a fair since,” stated a portion of the information. The tribute continued, “Jim was a proud supporter of the junior fair service and livestock auctions. He not only supported the fair, but was a supporter of other Meigs County events from one end of the county to the other. Jim and June’s dedication and their willingness to invest in the future of the youth and our fair became evident in 2012, when a substantial gift to the fair was made to replace the aging livestock arena with the new Ridenour Family Livestock Arena. While Jim’s biggest focus was the youth, he was a supporter of the entire fair. He was one of the very first day sponsors, an entertainment sponsor, supporter of the truck and tractor pulls and other things,” continued the printed tribute. “On sale day, he could always be found with his family sitting on the front row bidding on animals, making sure each exhibitor walked out of the ring feeling proud of their hard work… His love for the fair wasn’t just a week long, if you walk into his business you will see all the Nathan Calhoun as a Substitute Bus Driver for the 2021-22 school year, pending proper certification; Tara Vogt as a Substitute Health Professional for the 2021-22 school year, pending proper certification; the resignation of Terri Soulsby, Assistant Treasurer, effective the end of the day on December 31, 2021; and Juli Simpson as a Substitute Health Professional for the 2021-22 school year, pending proper certification.

Whether it be at her home farm or one of the many fairs she attended, the agricultural setting was one of her happy places,” added the tribute.
