REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT/ GROUP PUBLISHER Lane Moon lmoon@aimmediamidwest.com EDITOR Beth Sergent, Ext. 1992 bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com MANAGING EDITOR Sarah Hawley, Ext. 2555 shawley@aimmediamidwest.com SPORTS EDITOR Bryan Walters, Ext. 2101 bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Matt Rodgers, Ext. 2095 mrodgers@aimmediamidwest.com CIRCULATION MANAGER Derrick Morrison, Ext. 2097 dmorrison@aimmediamidwest.com AP Business Writer NEW YORK — A week or more after Ida, business owners from Louisiana to Connecticut are still adding up the ﬁnancial losses and assessing the physical and emotional toll, grappling to ﬁnd a way forward. Many say it’s difﬁcult to ﬁgure out the future when they’re unsure of the answers to some immediate questions: When will the power come back on? How long before I get new supplies? When can my business be rebuilt? “There’s no more anxious situation to a business owner than a complete lack of clarity in how to plan,” said Pike Howard, director of ﬁnance and development for New Orleans-based Felipe’s Mexican Taqueria restaurants. Many businesses have already dealt with a long stretch of uncertainty due to the coronavirus pandemic. “The amount that we’ve been tested the past 18 to 24 months it’s hard to imagine the roller coaster,” Howard said. “If you didn’t have a cash reserve going into this situation, I don’t know what you would do.” Some help is being made available. On Monday, President Joe Biden approved major disaster declarations for six New Jersey counties and ﬁve New York counties. That follows similar announcements for Mississippi and Louisiana, the initial targets of the hurricane. Disaster declarations are key for small businesses because that opens the door for federal disaster assistance loans. By Wednesday evening, crews in Louisiana had restored power to nearly 90% of New Orleans and all of Baton Rouge. But hundreds AP Photo | Mary Altaffer, File In this Sept. 4, 2021 file photo, workers at Los Primos La Paisanita continue the clean up of their store front after flash floods from the remnants of Ida inundated their community in Mamaroneck, N.Y. of thousands of homes and businesses in Louisiana, most of them outside New Orleans, still don’t have power. And about half of the gas stations in two major cities were without fuel as of Wednesday. Rebuilding from storm damage will be a challenge. Building contractors were already facing worker shortages and supply constraints. Ida made those challenges even worse and will lead to higher prices and longer building delays. Michael Gulotta, who owns two restaurants in New Orleans, said there is little they can do when facing the extensive power outages that Ida wrought. “We were preparing for the storm, down here, we get them so often, you try to pack coolers with ice and hope the power is out for 20 minutes,” he said. “Once it is, ‘Oh, the power is out indeﬁnitely,’ there’s not a whole lot you can do, at that point, the planning is out the window.” He organized food giveaways at his restaurants, Mopho and Maypop, to help get food to those who need it. Power has been restored and he planned on opening Mopho Thursday, but Maypop will remain closed for a few weeks. He said it’s harder to get loans and insurance when the problem is business interruption rather than physical damage. “The hard part is I just took a huge loss and no one is getting me money,” he said. “At this point I’m out thousands and thousands of dollars and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Some who aren’t counting on insurance have started fundraising. In the Northeast, a tornado spawned in Ida’s wake left Wellacrest Farms, a New Jersey dairy farm owned by Marianne and Wally Eachus, nearly demolished. They have counted about 14 dead cows, and 100 are still missing as of Wednesday. A GoFundMe started by fellow farmer Hillary Stecher reached nearly $90,000 by Thursday. The goal is $1 million. The farm has insurance, but Marianne Eachus says she has no idea if it will cover what’s been lost. GALLIA, MEIGS COMMUNITY BRIEFS 1388 or 740-447-1303. Hot dogs on Saturday, Sept.

The Qatar Airways ﬂight to Doha marked a breakthrough in the bumpy coordination between the U.S. and Afghanistan’s new rulers. A dayslong standoff over charter planes at another airport has left hundreds of mostly Afghan people stranded, waiting for Taliban permission to leave. A senior U.S. ofﬁcial, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to talk to the media, said the Taliban’s foreign minister and deputy prime minister helped facilitate the ﬂight. Americans, U.S. green card holders and other nationalities, including Germans, Hungarians and Canadians, were aboard, the ofﬁcial said. Qatari envoy Mutlaq bin Majed al-Qahtani said another 200 passengers will leave Afghanistan on Friday. It was not immediately clear how many Americans were on board Thursday and how many were still in Afghanistan. The White House said before the ﬂight that there were roughly 100 U.S. citizens left in Afghanistan. But several veterans groups have said that that number is too low because many citizens never bothered to tell U.S. ofﬁcials they were in the country. And they said the ﬁgure overlooks green-card-carrying permanent U.S. residents living in Afghanistan who want to leave. Many thousands of Afghans remain desperate to get out, too, afraid of what Taliban rule might hold. The Taliban have AP Photo | Bernat Armangue Foreigners board a Qatar Airways aircraft at the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan Thursday. Some 200 foreigners, including Americans, flew out of Afghanistan on an international commercial flight from Kabul airport on Thursday, the first such large-scale departure since U.S and foreign forces concluded their frantic withdrawal at the end of last month.

But with the U.S. Embassy closed when the Taliban took Kabul on Aug. 15, it has become impossible to get the visa stamped into his passport. He said he doesn’t trust Taliban assurances that they will not take revenge against Afghans who worked for the Americans. “No, never,” he said. “I never believe them, because they are lying.” Afghanistan war veteran Matt Zeller, who founded the organization No One Left Behind to help Afghans who supported American troops, said he does not believe it is possible for applicants to the special immigrant visa program to get a visa without an embassy in Kabul. “For all intents and purposes, these people’s chances of escaping the Taliban ended the day we left them behind,” he said.

Many are believed not to have the necessary travel documents. In Mazar-e-Sharif on Thursday, an Afghan who worked 15 years as an interpreter for the U.S. military was moving from hotel to hotel and running out of money as he, his eight children and his wife waited for the OK from the Taliban to leave. “I’m frightened I will be left behind,” said the man, whose name was withheld by The Associated Press for his safety.

He added: “Hopefully, life is becoming normal in Afghanistan.” The ﬂight was the ﬁrst to take off from the Kabul airport since American forces left the country at the end of August. The accompanying scenes of chaos, including Afghans plunging to their deaths from the sides of military aircraft on takeoff and a suicide bombing that killed 169 Afghans and 13 U.S. service members, came to deﬁne the end of America’s two-decade war.

(AP) — West Virginia wide receiver Sam James used the offseason to focus on his own mental well-being and put a tough stretch in the past. With a reputation for some great moments as well as mistakes, James is looking to return to the form that saw him catch 69 passes for 677 yards as a redshirt freshman in 2019. James caught six passes for a team-high 65 yards in a 30-24 loss at Maryland last week and will try to help the Mountaineers (1-0) get back on track when they host Long Island (0-1) on Saturday. “Just getting my feet wet, just hop back in the water and see how it is,” James said. “It was a pretty decent game.” Notice he didn’t focus on his fumble after a catch that went out of bounds. He’s decided not to be so hard on himself this year. “The fumble? That happens. It’s football,” James said. “You can’t really do nothing about it.” It’s a lesson learned from a year ago. The onset of the pandemic was hard on everyone, especially James, when the Big 12 canceled 2020 sports activities over a two-month period, including West Virginia’s spring game. James found himself back at home in an offseason funk without the luxury of a school-based workout regimen and it set the tone for a sour regular season. His production was cut in half and his drops became more pronounced, including four in one game. “I had a minor setback last year,” James said. “Everybody saw it. And I just had to realize that I needed to put the work in over the offseason.” What helped was taking advice from his mother, whom James calls his rock, and others including position coach Gerad Parker and some teammates. Being not so hard on himself, “that was the biggest thing mentally,” James said. “A lot of athletes struggle with mental health. So that was the biggest thing, just getting my mental (health) right, able to lean on people more. Take advice, take it to heart, just be able to take the hard criticism and move on and learn from it.” It seems to have worked. Coach Neal Brown praised his wide receivers as a unit against Maryland before adding, “Sam James was really good.” Scouting the Sharks LIU went 0-10 in its ﬁrst season in the Championship Subdivision in 2019 after moving up from Division II. The 2020 season was postponed to this past spring due to the pandemic and LIU went 2-2. Coach Bryan Collins resigned in June and interim coach Jonathan Gill had little time to prepare for fall camp. The Sharks opened with a 48-10 loss at Florida International. Derick Eugene stood out for LIU See JAMES | 8 Colton Jeffries | OVP Sports River Valley senior Lauren Twyman finished first overall in the girls race at the Skyline Lanes Invitational Wednesday in Bidwell, Ohio.

That doesn’t mean they don’t like winning in September. In fact, it has been nearly ﬁve years since the two-time defending AFC champions have lost a game in the opening month of the NFL season. It’s a remarkable streak of perfection predating quarterback Patrick Mahomes, defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and a multitude of players who hope to usher the Chiefs to a third consecutive Super Bowl. “We’ve kind of come out, in my time at least, with a lot of really good football teams up early in the season,” Mahomes said, “and we know that if you lose a game in September, it could cost you at the end of the season as far as seeding and trying to get into the playoffs. “So we just stress the impor- AP File photo Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (6) throws a pass during the first half an NFL divisional playoff football game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas City on Jan. 17. tance of playing really good football at the beginning of the year.” The Browns, their seasonopening opponent Sunday, can put the Chiefs’ remarkable September streak in perspective. They have lost an NFL-record 16 straight openers are are 1-20-1 in Week 1 since returning to Cleveland prior to the 1999 season. Most of those wins by the Chiefs haven’t been close, either.

Wright’s longest return a year ago was 37 yards. Brown said the blocking on kickoffs was solid last year and that Wright wasn’t as explosive as he is now. At Maryland, Wright “never stopped his feet,” Brown said. “That’s Only ﬁve of the 14 in September have been decided by less than a touchdown. And it’s not as if the Chiefs have been feasting on their considerable home-ﬁeld advantage because nine of the wins have come away from Arrowhead Stadium. “I think we just stress the importance of starting the season fast,” Mahomes said. “We have a very tough training camp, as everyone knows. We really compete and go at it every single day in practice, and I think it prepares us to be ready to go.” The reason Kansas City has been so dominant before autumn sets in is really quite simple: consistency. The streak began under quarterback Alex Smith but was soon handed over to Mahomes, his brilliant understudy, and he’s merely gone 10-0 with 32 touchdown passes and no interceptions in September. It helps that he’s had arguably the game’s most dynamic wide receiver (Tyreek Hill) and tight end (Travis Kelce) on the receiving end throughout the streak.

Daily Sentinel Sweeping vaccine mandates for 100M Americans By Zeke Miller Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Thursday is announcing sweeping new federal vaccine requirements affecting as many as 100 million Americans in an all-out effort to increase COVID-19 vaccinations and curb the surging delta variant that is killing thousands each week and jeopardizing the nation’s economic recovery. The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans. And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated. Biden is also signing an executive order to require vaccination for employees of the executive branch and contractors who do business with the federal government — with no option to test out. That covers several million more workers. Biden was to announce the new requirements in a Thursday afternoon address from the White House as part of a new “action plan” to address the latest rise in coronavirus cases and the stagnating pace of COVID-19 shots that has raised doubts among the public over his handling of the pandemic. Just two months ago Biden prematurely declared the nation’s “independence” from the virus. Now, despite more than 208 million Americans having at least one dose of the vaccines, the U.S. is seeing about 300% more new COVID-19 infections a day, about two-and-a-half times more hospitalizations, and AP Photo | Evan Vucci President Joe Biden speaks during an event to celebrate labor unions, in the East Room of the White House, Wednesday in Washington. nearly twice the number of deaths compared to the same time last year. Biden’s plans were previewed Thursday afternoon by White House press secretary Jen Psaki and other senior administration ofﬁcials ahead of the speech. After months of using promotions to drive the vaccination rate, Biden is taking a much ﬁrmer hand, as his aides blame people who have not yet received shots for the sharp rise in cases that is killing more than 1,000 people per day and imperiling a fragile economic rebound. Psaki said Biden’s “overarching objective here is to reduce the number of unvaccinated Americans,” noting about 80 million adults remain unvaccinated. In addition to the vaccination requirements, Biden is moving to double federal ﬁnes for airline passengers who refuse to wear masks on ﬂights or to maintain face covering requirements on federal property in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Biden was also to announce that the federal government will work to increase the supply of virus tests, and that the White House has secured concessions from retailers including Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger to sell at-home testing kits at cost beginning this week. The administration is also to send additional federal support to assist schools in safely operating, including additional funding for testing. And Biden will call for large entertainment venues and arenas to require vaccinations or proof of a negative test for entry. The requirement for large companies to mandate vaccinations or weekly testing for employees will be enacted through a forthcoming rule from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that carries penalties of $14,000 per violation, an administration ofﬁcial said. The White House did not immediately say when it would take effect, but said workers would have sufﬁcient time to get vaccinated. The rule would also require that large companies provide paid time off for vaccination. Meanwhile, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will extend a vaccination requirement issued earlier this summer — for nursing home staff — to of the pandemic, 93 hospitalizations (2 new) and 42 deaths.

Separately, the Department of Health and Human Services will require vaccinations in Head Start Programs, as well as schools run by the Department of Defense and Bureau of Indian Education, affecting about 300,000 employees. Biden’s order for executive branch workers and contractors includes exceptions for workers seeking religious or medical exemptions from vaccination, according to Psaki. Federal workers and contractors will have 75 days to get fully vaccinated. Workers who don’t comply will be referred to their agencies’ human resources departments for counseling and discipline, to include potential termination. “We would like to be a model” to other organizations and business around country, Psaki said of the federal workforce. An AP-NORC poll conducted in August found 55% of Americans in favor of requiring government workers to be fully vaccinated, compared with 21% opposed. Similar majorities also backed vaccine mandates for health care workers, teachers working at K-12 schools and workers who interact with the public, as at restaurants and stores. Biden has encouraged COVID-19 vaccine requirements in settings like schools, workplaces and university campuses, and the White House hopes the strengthened federal mandate will inspire more businesses to follow suit. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Board of Education was expected to vote on requiring all students 12 and older to be fully vaccinated in the the nation’s second-largest school district. cases; Central Ofﬁce/Itinerant — 1 quarantine; Total — 93 active cases, 521 quarantines.
