Powell, a four-star general who became the ﬁrst Black secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, died Monday from complications of COVID-19.

Cassidy Bailey is the current president of the POMEROY — Pomeroy Village Council met Oct. 4 in regular session to address Treat Street, Fire Safety Week, employee raises, and other administrative issues. Present at the meeting in council chambers were Mayor Don Anderson and Council members Vic Young, Phil Ohlinger, Aaron Oliphant, Maureen Hennessy and Nick Michael. Topping the agenda was a discussion of possible projects for the American Recovery Projects Act (ARPA) funds, including tasers for the Police Department, improvement to the Fire Station and paving throughout the Village. Council discussed the Treat Street event, and Mayor Anderson advised (at the time of this meeting) there had been no new guidance from the Health Department. Treat Street is a long-held tradition in Pomeroy; instead of children going door to door on Halloween, the evening is centralized in the downtown area. Merchants decorate the outside of their establishments for the holiday, and hand out “treats” along with villagers. Citing concerns of spreading the coronavirus, Council decided the event would be canceled this year and replaced with normal trickor-treating on Oct. 28 from 6 to 7 p.m. Mayor Anderson thanked Council members Ohlinger, Hennessy and Michael for completing RCAP training by Sept. 30. The training was necessary to meet the funding requirements of the 833 Sewer Project.

On Monday, Toyota, Stellantis, Foxconn, Ford and Volvo all made announcements about electric vehicle component or assembly plants, or plans to raise capital to fund the transition. The moves come on top of previous plans from Ford and General Motors to build ﬁve U.S. battery factories in anticipation of the shift to electric power. The moves are ahead of demand at the moment, but forecasters predict that the share of electric vehicles will rise dramatically as more battery-electric models are rolled out as governments increase requirements for zeroemissions vehicles to ﬁght climate change.

But the consulting ﬁrm Alix Partners predicts that will rise to 11% in 2025 and 24% in 2030. If plug-in gas-electric hybrids, which can travel short distances solely on electricity, are included, that ﬁgure rises to 28% in 10 years. Simultaneously, Alix Partners predicts that global sales of gas- and diesel-powered vehicles will fall from the current 89% to around 39% by 2030.

Wellston Golden Rockets outlast Meigs, 36-28 By Dave Harris For Ohio Valley Publishing WELLSTON, Ohio — Wellston held off a Meigs comeback attempt, and both teams endured a long weather delay in the ﬁrst half as the Golden Rockets defeated Meigs 36-28 in TriValley Conference Ohio Division football action Friday night. Wellston, with the win, kept its league title hopes alive as the Golden Rockets (5-4, 4-1 TVC Ohio) are a game behind Nelsonville-York heading into the ﬁnal game of the season next week. The Buckeyes who clinched a tie for the title will host Athens next week, while Wellston travels to Vinton County. A Nelsonville-York loss and Wellston win would create a two way tie for the TVC Ohio Division crown. A lightning delay of over 45 minutes came with 2:45 in the ﬁrst half, when the two teams resumed play the torrential rains made the ﬁeld slick for the rest of the contest. After the long delay it was also decided not to have halftime and go straight from the second period into the third. Despite the less than ideal conditions, Meigs senior quarterback Coulter Cleland had an outstanding game with 319 total yards on 183 yards passing and 136 rushing. Meigs scored ﬁrst, when Cleland hit Morgan Roberts, who slipped out of a tackle at his own 45 and tight roped down the sideline for 86 yards and the score with 6:59 left in the ﬁrst period. The Golden Rockets came back to take a 14-6 with scores in the ﬁrst and second period. But Cleland cut the Wellston lead to 14-12 and he weaved his way through the Golden Rocket defense 54 yards for the score with 2 :45 left in the half. At this point, the ofﬁcials sent the two teams to the locker room as lightening and torrential rains hit the area. After play resumed Brenton Beech returned the ensuing kickoff 73 yards for the score. A bad snap on a Meigs punt attempt resulted in a safety in the third period and a 22-12 Wellston lead, to set the scene for an exciting fourth period. Evan Brown scored for Wellston from a yard out to give the host a 28-12 with 11:15 left in the game. But Cleland ran it in from ﬁve yards out, and then hit Wes Metzger for the extra point to pull Meigs to within 29-20 with 9:14 left.

The new legislation would also close the education and licensure gap between private and public professional treatment staff. “Both private and public agencies hire professional treatment staff to provide rehabilitative services, home studies, clinical directions and supervise treatment of children in specialized foster homes, yet under current law their education and licensure is different,” said Ray. The changes in legislation would bring Ohio in line with the requirements of surrounding states including Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana and Michigan.

Blake stated he Might a Delta-specific booster work even better? Vaccines target the spike protein that coats the coronavirus. Mutations in that protein made delta more contagious but to the immune system, it doesn’t look all that different, said virus expert Richard Webby of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. That means there’s no guarantee a deltaspeciﬁc booster would protect any better, said University of Pennsylvania immunologist John Wherry. Waiting for studies to settle that question -- and if necessary, brewing updated doses -- would have delayed rolling out boosters to people deemed to need them now. Still, because delta is now the dominant version of the virus worldwide it almost certainly will be a common ances- tor for whatever evolves next in a mostly unvaccinated world, said Trevor Bedford, a biologist and genetics expert at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. A delta-updated vaccine would “help to provide a buffer against those additional mutations,” he said. Bedford is paid by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which also supports The Associated Press Health and Science Department. Tweaking the recipe The Pﬁzer and Moderna vaccines are made with a piece of genetic code called messenger RNA that tells the body to make harmless copies of the spike protein so it’s trained to recognize the virus. Updating the formula merely requires swapping out the original genetic code with mRNA for a mutated spike protein. Both companies ﬁrst experimented with tweaked doses against a mutant that emerged in South Africa, the beta variant, that has been the most vaccine-resistant to date, more so than the delta variant.
