What to expect as US weighs
COVID shots for younger kids
By Lauran Neergaard
AP Medical Writer

The Food and Drug Administration is considering whether to allow
COVID-19 vaccinations in children
ages 5 to 11 — using kid-sized doses.
Until now, only people 12 and older
could be vaccinated in the U.S., with
shots made by Pﬁzer and its partner
BioNTech. That’s been a huge frustration for many pediatricians and
parents, especially as the extra-contagious delta variant has raged through

AP Medical Writer

poorly vaccinated communities — and
the schools in them.
On Thursday, the companies formally applied for emergency use of
a lower dose for 5- to 11-year-olds.
Here’s what to expect:
Q: Why do younger kids need a vaccine?
A: The virus generally causes more
serious disease in older adults than
in children. But it can sometimes be
severe in youngsters, too. According

The U.S. is gearing up
in case of a bad ﬂu season
on top of the continuing
COVID-19 crisis, with a
plea Thursday for Americans to get vaccinated
against both.
“I get it: We are all
tired of talking about vaccines,” said Dr. Rochelle
Walensky, director of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But “it is doubly important this year” to get your
ﬂu shot, added Walensky,
who got her own vaccination earlier this week
just as she has every year
since she was a medical
student in 1995. “We are
preparing for the return
of the ﬂu.”
Flu cases dropped to
historically low levels
globally over the pandemic, as restrictions
designed to slow the
spread of the coronavirus
helped block other respiratory viruses. But with
schools and businesses
reopened, international
travel resuming and far
less masking, there’s no
way to predict how bad a
ﬂu season the U.S. might
expect this winter.
But ofﬁcials are worried because a different
respiratory virus, named
RSV, that usually attacks
young children in the
winter instead roared
back last summer as soon
as people started dropping their masks.
“Is that a harbinger of a
worse inﬂuenza season?
We don’t know, but we
certainly don’t want a
‘twindemic,’ both COVID
and inﬂuenza,” said Dr.
William Schaffner of the
National Foundation for
Infectious Diseases.
And if you still need a
COVID-19 vaccination
— either ﬁrst shots or a
booster dose — you can
get it at the same visit as
a ﬂu shot.
The CDC recommends
a yearly ﬂu vaccination
for just about everyone
starting with 6-month-old
babies. Inﬂuenza is especially dangerous for older
adults, children under age
5, people with chronic
health problems such as
diabetes, asthma or heart
disease, and during pregnancy.
Last fall, about as many
Americans overall got
their ﬂu vaccination as
they did before the pandemic — about half of
the eligible population,
according to CDC data
released Thursday. But
Walensky was dismayed
by a slight drop in child
ﬂu vaccinations last year
— and at widening racial
and ethnic disparities.
Last year, 43% of Black
Americans and 45% of
Hispanics got a ﬂu vaccination compared to 56%
of whites.
The CDC expects vaccine makers to deliver
188 million to 200 million
doses of ﬂu vaccine. Most

Rockets Over Rio returns Saturday night at 8:30 p.m., preceded by Rocketoberfest activites in the Village o Rio Grande.

OHIO VALLEY — Fall festival season continues across the
Ohio Valley Publishing area this
weekend, with thousands of visitors expected to arrive in the
Village of Rio Grande in Gallia
County for the 50th Bob Evans

at the University of Rio Grande,
as well as Rocketoberfest, the
latter of which will culminate
with the annual Rockets Over

Both the farm festival and

On Thursday, a statement on
behalf of Bob Evans Restaurants
was released regarding health
and safety guidelines regarding
COVID-19 that organizers were
following for the festival.
The statement read:
“Bob Evans is implementing

Abortions resume in
some Texas clinics
after judge halts law
AUSTIN, Texas (AP)
— Abortions quickly
resumed in some Texas
clinics Thursday after a
federal judge halted the
most restrictive abortion law in the U.S., but
doctors across the state
did not rush to resume
normal operations with
the court battle far from
over.
The order by U.S.
District Judge Robert
Pitman late Wednesday
was meant to give Texas
clinics cover to resume
seeing most patients for
the ﬁrst time since early
September, when the law
known as Senate Bill 8
went into effect, banning
abortions once cardiac
activity is detected, usually around six weeks.
Amy Hagstrom Miller,
president of Whole
Woman’s Health, said her
four Texas clinics called
in some patients early
Thursday who were on
a list in case the law was
blocked at some point.
Other appointments
were being scheduled
for the days ahead, and
phone lines were again
busy, she said.
But the relief felt by
Texas abortion providers was tempered by the
possibility of an appeals
court reinstating the
law in the coming days.
Some Texas physicians,
meanwhile, were still
declining to perform
abortions, fearful they
might be held liable
despite the judge’s order.
“There’s actually hope
from patients and from
staff, and I think there’s a
little desperation in that
hope,” Hagstrom Miller

said. “Folks know this
opportunity could be
short-lived.”
The law leaves enforcement solely in the hands
of private citizens, who
are entitled to collect
$10,000 in damages if
they bring successful
lawsuits against abortion
providers who violate
the restrictions. Planned
Parenthood, which had
said it was hopeful the
order would allow clinics
to resume abortion services as soon as possible,
did not immediately offer
an update on its plans
Thursday.
Republican Texas
Attorney General Ken
Paxton’s ofﬁce quickly
served notice of the
state’s intent to appeal
but had yet to do so
Thursday.
“The sanctity of
human life is, and will
always be, a top priority
for me,” Paxton tweeted.
Pitman’s order amounted to the ﬁrst legal blow
to Senate Bill 8, which
had withstood a wave of
earlier challenges. In the
weeks since the restrictions took effect, Texas
abortion providers said
the impact had been
“exactly what we feared.”
In a 113-page opinion,
Pitman took Texas to
task, saying Republican
lawmakers had “contrived an unprecedented
and transparent statutory scheme” by leaving
enforcement solely in the
hands of private citizens,
who can collect damages
if they bring successful
lawsuits against abortion
providers who violate the
restrictions.

Investigators board ship anchored near pipeline
By Michael Biesecker,
Stefanie Dazio
and Michael Balsamo
Associated Press

HUNTINGTON
BEACH, Calif. — Coast
Guard investigators
boarded a massive cargo
ship as they probe what
caused the rupture of an
offshore oil pipeline that
sent crude washing up
on Southern California
beaches.
The visit to the Rotterdam Express container
ship came as investigators try to determine
whether an anchor
snagged, dragged and
bent the pipeline owned
by Amplify Energy, a
Houston-based company
that operates three offshore oil platforms south
of Los Angeles.
The Associated Press
reported Wednesday that
the Rotterdam Express
appeared to make a
series of unusual movements while anchored in
the closest spot to where
the break in the pipeline
happened, according
to data collected by a
marine navigation service. AP reviewed more
than two weeks of data
from MarineTrafﬁc,
which tracks radio signals from transponders
that broadcast the locations of ships and large
boats every few minutes.
But in an email
Thursday, MarineTrafﬁc
spokesperson Fotini Tseroni said the movements
indicated for the Rotterdam Express apparently
were erroneous and may
have resulted from errors
involving the ship’s GPS
system. The company
said it was removing
the jumps in position
to show the ship stayed

The Rotterdam Express is seen at the Port of Oakland, Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. The Rotterdam
Express, a massive cargo ship made a series of unusual movements while anchored in the closest
spot to a Southern California oil pipeline that ruptured and sent crude washing up on beaches,
according to data collected by a marine navigation service.

within its anchorage.
The Rotterdam
Express, a Germanﬂagged ship nearly 1,000
feet (305 meters) long,
was assigned to anchorage SF-3, the closest
designated parking spot
for ships to where the
pipeline ruptured off
Huntington Beach.
Hapag-Lloyd, the
shipping company that
operates the Rotterdam
Express, conﬁrmed
Thursday that investigators boarded the ship
Wednesday while it was
docked at the Port of
Oakland in San Francisco Bay. The company
has said the ship played
no role in the oil spill.
“We are fully cooperating with the authorities
at this moment,” said
Nils Haupt, a spokesman
at Hapag-Lloyd’s headquarters in Hamburg,
Germany. He said the
ship remained in place
while anchored.
“We have proof by the
logbook, which is updated hourly, that the vessel
did not move,” Haupt

said. “MarineTrafﬁc in
this case is wrong and
the position is indeed
incorrect.”
A U.S. ofﬁcial told the
AP that the Rotterdam
Express has become a
focus of the spill investigation. The ofﬁcial
cautioned that the ship
is only one lead being
pursued in the investigation, which is in its early
stages.
The investigators are
seeking to collect tracking and navigational
information from the
vessel that could help
them identify its exact
movements, the ofﬁcial
said. They are also seeking preliminary interviews with at least some
crew members.
The ofﬁcial could not
discuss the investigation
publicly and spoke to the
AP on condition of anonymity.
Petty Ofﬁcer Steve
Strohmaier, a Coast
Guard spokesperson,
declined to comment on
the Rotterdam Express
Wednesday but said

the agency is analyzing
electric charting systems
from its vessel trafﬁc
service to see what ships
were anchored or moving over the spill area.
The MarineTrafﬁc data
reviewed by AP showed
the Rotterdam Express
arrived outside the Port
of Long Beach early on
Sept. 22 and dropped
anchor about 2,000 feet
(610 meters) from the
pipeline. It then showed
the ship’s position changing dramatically on three
occasions in the following
days, making it appear
the ship had drifted over
the pipeline.
The ship’s location
data, which works
through a global network
called the Automatic
Identiﬁcation System, is
supposed to be accurate
and reliable within a few
feet, said Nikolas Xiros,
a professor of marine
engineering at the University of New Orleans.
He said it would be very
unusual for a vessel’s
reported position to be
off by thousands of feet.

‘It’s not worth the grief it will cost you’
I pastored Trinity Baptist Church from 1980 to
1984. It was a new church
work located along Rt. 219
near Marlinton, W.Va. The
Lord blessed the ministry
there with many additions
during that time.
A man named Henry
Miller (and his family of
four) started attending.
I vividly remember their
ﬁrst Sunday there. Henry
was a tall, slim man who
spoke very slowly. He
spent twenty years in the
Marines. Henry and I
became good friends. We
played some golf together. We did some bear
hunting. He had a Ford
Bronco that was a rust
bucket for sure (the only
thing holding it together,
so it seemed, were the
termites holding hands),
but that thing could go

anywhere. Many times
Henry had to wench it
out of situations. But, he
enjoyed it.
Henry took a job as
a security guard at the
Anthony Correctional
Center located near
White Sulphur Springs,
W.Va. This facility houses
males and females 18-25
years of age for a probational period of six
months to twenty-four
months for offenses convicted of in court. Good
behavior and course
completions are required.
However, if they display
bad behavior, or do things
that do not satisfy the
original court, they can
be forced to fulﬁll the
original sentence.

his love for the money and

to him than his love for God.
If anyone wants to enter the
Kingdom of God, he must
give God ﬁrst place in his life.
Who wants to be a millionaire? Maybe that isn’t so
important after all.
Let’s say a prayer together.
Dear Father, help us remember to give You ﬁrst place in
our lives. Let us remember it
is not how much money we
have, or how smart we are,
or how popular we are that
will get us into heaven. It is
accepting Christ as our Savior and putting Him ﬁrst that
is important. In Jesus’ name,
we pray, Amen.

Blue Angels fall to Fairland, 3-2
By Colton Jeffries

Gallia Academy senior Preslee Reed (22) scored both goals for the Blue Angels
during a soccer game Tuesday evening against the Fairland Lady Dragons in
Proctorville, Ohio.

PROCTORVILLE, Ohio
— The Gallia Academy High
School girls soccer team lost
3-2 in an away Ohio Valley
Conference game to the Fairland Lady Dragons Tuesday
evening.
The Blue Angels (4-8-2 overall, 2-4-1 OVC) took the initial
lead 23 minutes into the ﬁrst
half off of a penalty kick by
senior Preslee Reed, but the
Lady Dragons (7-4-1, 3-1-1)
tied the game up less than 10
minutes later.
Tuesday’s game remained
tied into the second half when
Fairland scored two girls in a
6-minute span.

Reed made another penalty
kick with two minutes to go to
bring the score within a goal,
but the Blue and White were
unable to get that last goal
needed for a tie.

Baylor, WVU
trying to get run
games going again
By John Raby
Associated Press

Baylor wants to regain its swagger in the run game.
West Virginia would be satisﬁed with any progress.
The Bears and Mountaineers meet Saturday in
Waco, Texas, after both lost games in which they
failed to score in the ﬁrst half.
Baylor had averaged 272 rushing yards in its ﬁrst
four contests, but the Bears punted on their ﬁrst eight
possessions at Oklahoma State and were limited to
107 yards on the ground. The exception was Abram
Smith’s 55-yard run for a third-quarter touchdown
was an exception.
Baylor’s Trestan Ebner had zero yards on eight carries and has 103 total yards in his last three games
after starting the season with a pair of 100-yard
games.
“We have to establish the run,” Baylor coach Dave
Aranda said. “If we’re getting safeties that are in the
box as much as we were on Saturday, we have to be
more effective at cracking them. Then we’re also
going to have to complete balls down the ﬁeld to
stretch defenses where they don’t have seven, nine,
10-man fronts.”
The Bears (4-1, 2-1 Big 12) will get some resistance
from the Mountaineers, who are 12th in the nation
in rush defense, allowing just 88 yards per game. But
West Virginia (2-3, 0-2) let Texas Tech go the length
of the ﬁeld on the deciding ﬁnal drive last Saturday.
On the ﬂip side, West Virginia’s offense is last in
the Big 12 in rushing at 116 yards per game — half of
what Baylor averages. Coach Neal Brown is cognizant
that the Mountaineers aren’t getting a ton of possessions each game so they need to make the most of
each one, including avoiding turnovers.
“Are we built right now to go outscore everybody in
our league? We’re not,” Brown said.
As the only West Virginia running back with consistent carries, Leddie Brown has had to shoulder the
load with backup quarterback Garrett Greene getting
an occasional run.
“We’ve got to be better detail-oriented,” Neal
Brown said. “We haven’t been consistent enough with
our footwork. Our run reads are not as good as they
need to be. It goes back to these details in the footwork, where our eyes are supposed to be and doing
that on a consistent basis.”
Late FGs
West Virginia has seen its share of losing on late
ﬁeld goals.
The Mountaineers’ last two games against Texas
Tech and No. 6 Oklahoma were decided on kicks in
the ﬁnal minute. There still might be some angst
about their last visit to Waco in 2019, when Baylor
made the go-ahead kick in the fourth quarter and the
Bears blocked a tying ﬁeld goal try by West Virginia.

on hold,” said Stafﬁere, a laboratory instructor at Colby College.
“When he’s vaccinated, it would
give our family our lives back.”
Gib Brogan of Wayland, Massachusetts, said he is constantly
worried about getting a call
from his 10-year-old son’s school
about virus exposure or infection, and he is hoping his child
can be vaccinated in time for the
holidays.
“I know our school district has
careful protocols and procedures
in place,” he said, “but every
time we send him off to school,
I’m thinking, ‘Are we going to
get a phone call?’”
Pﬁzer studied the lower dose
in 2,268 volunteers ages 5 to 11
and said there were no serious
side effects. The study isn’t large
enough to detect any extremely
rare side effects, such as the
heart inﬂammation that sometimes occurs after the second
dose of the regular-strength vaccine, mostly in young men.

Conversion
From page 3

nothing lasting (cf. Matthew 16:26). Therefore, Christians are commanded by their Lord
to actively work on converting others to the
Gospel (cf. Mark 16:15-16; Matthew 28:18-20),
understanding that He alone is the Way, the
Truth and the Life, the only means by which
men can reach the Father and His heavenly
home (John 14:6).
Yet, Jesus in His wisdom never commanded
His followers to yell or berate others into submission. Jesus taught a better way to convert
people to the truth: love those in opposition,
treat them kindly, reason with them respectfully, and move on if they refuse to listen.
The Bible teaches us, “If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty,
give him water to drink (Proverbs 25:21;
ESV).” To this thought the apostle Paul added,
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil
with good (Romans 12:21; ESV).”
Likewise, there are frequent admonitions in
the Scriptures against anger. “Be angry and sin
not (Ephesians 4:26).” “Good sense makes one
slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an
offense (Proverbs 19:11; ESV).” “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice
(Ephesians 4:31).”
We are to “always being prepared to make a
defense to anyone who asks you for a reason
for the hope that is in you,” but as we make
such a defense of our faith, we are speciﬁcally
told, “yet do it with gentleness and respect (1
Peter 1:15; ESV).”
Naturally not everyone will listen, but when
they don’t listen, again, the Lord teaches us to
move one. Even if those in opposition start to
make trouble, rather than ﬁght and yell, Jesus
merely repeated the admonition to move on
elsewhere (cf. Matthew 10:12-14, 23). In all
things, as much as depended on His followers, Jesus wants us to seek to be at peace with
others, even those with whom we disagree (cf.
Romans 12:17-18).
This whole business of getting in someone’s
face and yelling our anger at them is not the
path of Christ and it is certainly not the way to
convert people to the truth. Jesus had a better
way: one which reﬂected the love He taught,
one which was more likely to produce the
desired results, and one which did not actively
make the world a more unpleasant place in
which to live. It is most certainly the method
His followers should endeavor to employ as
we seek to convert the world to the truth of
Christ.

COVID
From page 1

to the American Academy
of Pediatrics, COVID-19 has
killed at least 520 children in
the U.S.
The delta variant also
caused a jump in child infections, making it more difﬁcult
to keep schools fully open and
students in class. A recent
Kaiser Family Foundation survey found nearly a quarter of
parents with kids in class this
fall say they’ve already had to
quarantine a child because of
possible virus exposure.
Q: How soon could vaccinations begin for kids under 12?
A: First under consideration
are shots for 5- to 11-yearolds. Advisers to the FDA are
expected to publicly deliberate Pﬁzer’s evidence on Oct.
26, setting the stage for the
agency to declare if the shots
are safe and effective for the
roughly 28 million youngsters
in that age group.
If it does, there’s another
step: Advisers to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention will decide whether
to recommend kids actually
get the vaccinations. The
CDC makes the ﬁnal call.
FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter
Marks has said the agency
would decide “hopefully within a matter of weeks” after
Pﬁzer submitted its data.
Q: Would younger kids get
the same dose as teens and
adults?
A: No. Pﬁzer aims to give
5- to 11-year-olds one-third of
the dose that’s given to everyone 12 and older.
Q: What’s the evidence the
kid-sized shots work?
A: Pﬁzer studied the lower
dose in 2,268 volunteers in
this age group, giving twothirds vaccine and the rest
dummy shots. The company
says vaccinated 5- to 11-yearolds developed coronavirusﬁghting antibody levels
that were as strong as what
teenagers and young adults
get after the regular-strength
shots.
Q: Was the vaccine safe for
youngsters?
A: The young kids experienced similar or fewer temporary side effects such as
sore arms and achiness than
teens.
One exceedingly rare risk
of both the Pﬁzer and Moderna vaccines is heart inﬂammation, usually in young men
or boys. The CDC estimates
that for every million fully
vaccinated 12- to 17-year-old
boys, the shots would prevent
about 5,700 COVID-19 cases,
71 hospitalizations and two
deaths while causing no more
than 69 cases of heart inﬂammation. It’s difﬁcult for scientiﬁc studies to detect such
a rare problem so regulators
will have to debate the possibility of that risk with the
lower-dose shots for younger
kids.
Q: If it’s cleared, will the
kid-sized vaccine come in
special packages?
A: Yes, to avoid any dosing
mix-ups Pﬁzer plans to ship
vials specially marked for
pediatric use containing the
lower dose.
Q: What about vaccinations
for kids younger than 5?
A: Stay tuned: Study
results are expected later this
year.

Default crisis dodged with Dem-GOP debt accord
By Lisa Mascaro,
Kevin Freking
and Josh Boak
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate
leaders announced an agreement Thursday to extend
the government’s borrowing
authority into December, temporarily averting an unprecedented federal default that
experts say would devastate
the economy.
“Our hope is to get this
done as soon as today,” Senate
Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer declared. Republican
leader Mitch McConnell,
whose party has been blocking the debt limit extension,
said, “The Senate is moving
forward.”
The ﬁrst crucial vote on the
measure was set for Thursday
night.
Republican leaders were
working to ﬁnd the 10 votes
they need from their party
to advance the extension.
John Thune of South Dakota,
the second-ranking Senate
Republican, said, “In the end
we’ll be there, but it will be a
painful birthing process.”
In their agreement, the
Republican and Democratic
leaders edged back from a perilous standoff over lifting the
nation’s borrowing cap, with
Democratic senators accepting
an offer from McConnell.
McConnell made the GOP
offer a day earlier, just before
his Republicans were prepared
to block longer-term legislation
to suspend the debt limit and
as President Joe Biden and
business leaders ramped up
their concerns that a default
would disrupt government
payments to millions of people
and throw the nation into
recession.
For the moment, Biden
wouldn’t say whether he’d sign
a short-term extension, telling reporters during a visit to
Chicago, “we gotta see if the
deal is done. I’m not sure of
that yet.”
But the White House
signaled the president’s support, with principal deputy

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., leaves the chamber after speaking, at the Capitol in Washington
Thursday.

press secretary Karine JeanPierre calling it a “positive
step,” even as she assailed
Republicans for blocking
Democratic efforts.
“It gives us some breathing
room from the catastrophic
default we were approaching
because of Sen. McConnell’s
decision to play politics with
our economy,” she told reporters.
Wall Street rallied modestly
on the news.
The agreement sets the
stage for a sequel of sorts in
December, when Congress will
again face pressing deadlines
to fund the government and
raise the debt limit before
heading home for the holidays.
The agreement will allow
for raising the debt ceiling by
about $480 billion, according
to a Senate aide familiar with
the negotiations who spoke
on condition of anonymity to
discuss them. That is the level
that the Treasury Department
has said is needed to get to
Dec. 3.
“Basically, I’m glad that
Mitch McConnell ﬁnally saw
the light,” Bernie Sanders,

the independent senator from
Vermont, said late Wednesday.
McConnell portrayed it differently.
“The pathway our
Democratic colleagues have
accepted will spare the
American people any nearterm crisis, while deﬁnitively
resolving the majority’s excuse
that they lacked time to
address the debt limit through
(reconciliation),” McConnell
said Thursday. “Now there will
be no question: They’ll have
plenty of time.”
Congress has just days
to act before the Oct. 18
deadline when the Treasury
Department has warned it
would quickly run short of
funds to handle the nation’s
already accrued debt load.
McConnell and Senate
Republicans have insisted
that Democrats go it alone to
raise the debt ceiling. Further,
McConnell has insisted that
Democrats use the same cumbersome legislative process
called reconciliation that they
used to pass a $1.9 trillion
COVID-19 relief bill and have
been employing to try to pass

Biden’s $3.5 trillion measure
to boost safety net, health and
environmental programs.
McConnell said in his offer
Wednesday that Republicans
would still insist that
Democrats use the reconciliation process for a long-term
debt limit extension. However,
he said Republicans are
willing to “assist in expediting” that process, and in the
meantime Democrats may
use the normal legislative
process to pass a short-term
debt limit extension with a
ﬁxed dollar amount to cover
current spending levels into
December.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski,
R-Alaska, said she’d be among
those voting to advance the
bill.
“I’m not willing to let this
train go off the cliff,” she said.
On Wednesday, Biden enlisted top business leaders to
push for immediately suspending the debt limit, saying the
approaching deadline created
the risk of a historic default
that would be like a “meteor”
that could crush the economy
and ﬁnancial markets.
