A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted unanimously, with one abstention, that the vaccine’s benefits in preventing COVID-19 in that age group outweigh any potential risks. That includes questions about a heart-related side effect that’s been very rare in teens and young adults despite their use of a much higher vaccine dose. While children are far less likely than older people to get severe COVID-19, ultimately many panelists decided it’s important to give parents the choice to protect their youngsters — especially those at high risk of illness or who live in places where other precautions, like masks in schools, aren’t being used. “This is an age group that deserves and should have the same opportunity to be vaccinated as every other age,” said panel member Dr. Amanda Cohn of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The FDA isn’t bound by the panel’s recommendation and is expected to make its own decision within days. If the FDA concurs, there’s still another step: Next week, the CDC will have to decide whether to recommend the shots and which youngsters should get them. Full-strength shots made by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech already are recommended for everyone 12 and older but pediatricians and many parents are clamoring for protection for younger children. The extra-contagious delta variant has caused an alarming rise in pediatric infections — and families are frustrated with school quarantines and having to say no to sleepovers and other rites of childhood to keep the virus at bay. In the 5- to 11-yearold age group, there have been over 8,300 hospitalizations reported, about a third requiring intensive care, and nearly 100 deaths. States are getting ready to roll out the shots — just a third of the amount given to teens and adults — that will come in special orange-capped vials to avoid dosage mixups. More than 25,000 pediatricians and other primary care providers have signed up so far to offer vaccination, which will also be available at pharmacies and other locations. But for all that anticipation, there also are people who strongly oppose vaccinating younger children, and both FDA and its advisers were inundated with an email campaign seeking to block the Pfizer shot. Dr. Jay Portnoy of Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, said despite over 4,000 emails urging him to vote against the vaccine, he was persuaded by the data showing it works. Portnoy said he also was representing “parents I see every day in the clinic who are terrified of sending their children to school. … They need a voice also.” Panelists stressed they weren’t supporting vaccine mandates for young children — and the FDA doesn’t make mandate decisions. FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks also said it would be highly unusual for other groups to mandate something that’s cleared only for emergency use. Several advisers said they wished they could tailor the shots for the highest-risk youngsters, a decision that would fall to the CDC.

The $500 grant from Walmart will be used for increased security in the Museum. “The restoration of these building takes time, funds, and volunteers,” Cowdrey said. “We are making progress but we still have a lot of work to do. It is difficult to get grants, but we continue to try, and hope future opportunities for grant applications will be met with positive responses.” Cowdrey emphasized the reason for saving the gifted buildings is that they have historical significance in the county, and it is better to restore, and not tear down. “One of the buildings, we call it the 1872 Building, was a furniture factory built in that year, and the Ford Building is 100 years old. We feel these are worth saving,” Cowdrey told the Commissioners. She said the Ford Building is in desperate need of a new roof, and the Society has applied to have the structure added to the list of Ohio’s Most Endangered Buildings, which could put them in a better position for funding.

Biden came under pressure from European allies to drop the restrictions, particularly after many European countries eased limits on American visitors. “The United States is open for business with all the promise and potential America has to offer,” Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said after Monday’s announcement. The main trade group for the U.S. airline industry praised the administration’s decision. “We have seen an increase in ticket sales for international travel over the past weeks, and are eager to begin safely reuniting the countless families, friends and colleagues who have not seen each other in nearly two years, if not longer,” Airlines for America said in a statement. The pandemic and resulting travel restrictions have caused international travel to plunge. U.S. and foreign airlines plan to operate about 14,000 flights across the Atlantic this month, just over half the 29,000 flights they operated during October 2019, according to data from aviation-research firm Cirium. Henry Harteveldt, a travelindustry analyst in San Francisco, said the lifting of country-specific restrictions will help, but it will be tempered by the vaccination and testing requirements. “Anyone hoping for an explosion of international inbound visitors will be disappointed,” he said. “Nov. 8 will be the start of the international travel recovery in the U.S., but I don’t believe we see full recovery until 2023 at the earliest.” The Biden administration has not proposed a vaccination requirement for domestic travel, which the airlines oppose fiercely, saying it would be impractical because of the large number of passengers who fly within the U.S. every day. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, October 28, 2021 3 Ohio Ed Assoc. responds to Substitute House Bill 327 censorship, intimidation, and punishment. But, if the Big Government mandates of HB 327 become law, our children will be grievously deprived of the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills and learn from our mistakes by creating an oppressive and fear-based learning environment, and the growing teacher shortage will become exponentially worse,” OEA President Scott DiMauro said. “Ohio’s kids need caring, qualified educators in their classrooms to help them become tomorrow’s doctors, entrepreneurs, and civic leaders. Unfortunately, the provisions of HB 327 – which have come about as part of a carefully coordinated national campaign by disingenuous organizations resulting in divisive and dishonest attacks on educators, our communities, and public schools – will drive teachers from their classrooms who can’t afford to lose their homes to sue-happy parents with a vendetta against the truth. The chilling effect on a profession already struggling to attract new entrants would be devastating,” DiMauro explained. The news release further stated, “The substitute version of HB 327 seeks to muzzle educators and prevent them from having age-appropriate discussions with their students about any subjects deemed ‘divisive’ by certain politicians doing the bidding of a national network of extremists who want to whitewash our history so they can control a political narrative.

Vote “YES” Carleton School/ Meigs Industries RENEWAL Levy Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — The reports of hateful and violent posts on Facebook started pouring in on the night of May 28 last year, soon after then-President Donald Trump sent a warning on social media that looters in Minneapolis would be shot. It had been three days since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on the neck of George Floyd for more than eight minutes until the 46-year-old Black man lost consciousness, showing no signs of life. A video taken by a bystander had been viewed millions of times online. Protests had taken over Minnesota’s largest city and would soon spread throughout cities across America. But it wasn’t until after Trump posted about Floyd’s death that the reports of violence and hate speech increased “rapidly” on Facebook across the country, an internal company analysis of the ex-president’s social media post reveals. “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and I won’t let that happen,” Trump wrote at 9:53 a.m. on May 28 from his Twitter and Facebook accounts. “Any difficulty Julio Cortez | AP file A sign that counter-protesters lit on fire burns after supporters of President Donald Trump held pro-Trump marches on Nov. 14, 2020, in Washington.

Leaked Facebook documents provide a first-hand look at how Trump’s social media posts ignited more anger in an already deeply divided country that was eventually lit “on fire” with reports of hate speech and violence across the platform. Facebook’s own internal, automated controls, meant to catch posts that violate rules, predicted with almost 90% certainty that Trump’s message broke the tech company’s rules against inciting violence. Yet, the tech giant didn’t take any action on Trump’s message. Offline, the next day, protests — some of which turned violent — engulfed nearly every U.S. city, big and small. “When people look back at the role Facebook played, they won’t say Facebook caused it, but Facebook was certainly the megaphone,” said Lanier Holt, a communications professor at Ohio State University. “I don’t think there’s any way they can get out of saying that they exacerbated the situation.” Social media rival Twitter, meanwhile, responded quickly at the time by covering Trump’s tweet with a warning and prohibiting users from sharing it any further.

While Scott put on the pressure, they were unable to crack the Point Pleasant defense, sealing their victory as the clock ticked to zero.

See POINT | 6 Winfield edges Lady Knights with PKs By Colton Jeffries cjeffries@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W. Va. — Reopening old wounds. The Point Pleasant girls soccer team fell 5-4 in penalty kicks during a 0-0 contest with the Winfield Lady Generals Tuesday evening in the Region IV Championship at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field. The two teams met once before in the regular season, with Winfield winning 1-0 Sept. 9. The Lady Generals (16-2-3) started Tuesday’s game with a very physical play style, unafraid to get up close and fight for the ball. As the game went on, the Lady Knights (16-3-2) adapted to their opponents’ playstyle, adopting it to their own. Neither side had much luck getting access to the other’s goal, though the Lady Generals did have the lion’s share of the offense. The Red and Black had troubles with their passing throughout Tuesday’s game, often getting the ball too far ahead of their teammates, dashing any hopes for breakaways. With neither team getting goals in regulation, the game was taken to two 10-minute overtime periods. The Lady Knights’ offensive struggles followed them into overtime, with the Lady Generals being the only ones to score shots on goal. Winfield did have a decent shot at closing out the game in the first overtime, having a free kick with nine seconds to go, but the shot was saved by Lady Knight goalie, freshman Katie McCutcheon. With the game still undecided, things went to a penalty shootout. While Winfield got their first two shots to land, Point Pleasant missed their first two, putting them in an early hole. However, sophomore Ella Hunt landed her penalty, and fellow sophomore Madelyn Call hit her’s to tie things up.

Blue Devils blank Miami Trace, 8-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com CENTENARY, Ohio — A night of historical proportions. Senior Brody Wilt scored four times to reach 100 goals for his career, which helped the Gallia Academy boys soccer team secure its first-ever shutout victory at the district level on Tuesday night during an 8-0 triumph over visiting Miami Trace in a Division II Southeast district semifinal match held at Lester Field. The second-seeded Blue Devils (17-1-1) recorded the first 16 shots of regulation — which led to a 3-0 lead — en route to a dominant offensive performance as the hosts outshot the 10th-seeded Panthers (7-11-1) by a sizable 41-7 overall margin. GAHS held an 18-2 advantage in shots by the intermission and claimed a 26-4 edge in shots in goal, with MTHS producing its first shot of the match with 7:15 remaining in the opening half. Wilt, who accounted for half of the Blue Devils’ offensive output, managed the second score of the game, then tacked on three more scores after the break. That fourth goal, which came in the 65th min- on a breakaway two minutes later for a sizable 6-goal cushion. Wilt tacked on his 100th career goal with 24:23 left as he made a 1-on-1 move in front of the goal and scored on the left side for a 7-0 edge. Keagan Daniels tacked on the final goal after bouncing a shot in off of the bottom side of the right crossbar, making it an 8-0 contest with 13:51 still remaining in regulation. Gallia Academy will play in its second consecutive district championship in as many postseasons on Thursday when it faces sixth-seeded Athens at 7:30 p.m. Thursday night at Zane Trace High School. Athens defeated third-seeded Fairfield Union by a 3-2 count in overtime in the other D-2 district semifinal on Tuesday night. The Blue Devils claimed an 8-4 edge in corner kicks and received three saves from keeper Bryson Miller. GAHS recorded its 10th shutout of the year, including its fourth straight overall.

Wilt’s memorable night started as anything but, with the senior bouncing a pair of point-blank shot attempts off the cross bar and off the post in the opening 90 seconds of regulation. In the sixth minute, however, the Blue Devils broke into the scoring column as Carson Wamsley headed in a throw-in pass from Maddux Camden — giving GAHS a quick 1-0 cushion with 34:25 remaining. Wilt started his pursuit of tripledigits in the 15th minute as he planted a penalty kick for a 2-goal edge with 25:36 remaining, then Camden completed the first half scoring on a rebound from six yards away. Camden’s goal came with 13:51 left in the half and made it a 3-0 contest. Wilt increased the lead to 4-0 with 31:36 left in regulation as he dribbled right from 12 yards out, stopped and crossed back left before firing a left-footed shot that ricocheted off of the left post and into the net.

MARY’S, Ind. — The University of Rio Grande took control early and never let up, posting a 3-1 victory over St. Mary-ofthe-Woods College, Saturday afternoon, in River States Conference women’s soccer action at the SMWC Soccer field.

MARY’S, Ind. — Diego Martinez scored one goal and assisted on another, leading the University of Rio Grande to a 3-0 win over St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, Saturday afternoon, in River States Conference men’s soccer action at the SMWC Soccer Field. The 14th-ranked RedStorm, who ran their unbeaten streak to nine straight outings, improved to 12-21 overall and 7-0 in the RSC. The host Pomeroys fell to 6-4-2 overall and 4-3-1 in league play with the loss. Martinez, a freshman from Santiago, Chile, scored what proved to be the only goal that would Rio would need off an assist from senior Silas Machado (Sao Paulo, Brazil) just 12:32 into the contest. His assist came on a score by junior Charlie Chechlacz (Liecestershire, England) only 36 seconds into the second half. The RedStorm netted the game’s final marker just over 6-1/2 minutes later when sophomore Benjamin Cam Orellana (Santiago, Chile) played a bad clearing pass by SMWC goal keeper Nicolas Thomas back to senior teammate Ewan McLauchlan (Aroch, Scotland), who buried a shot into the back of the goal. Rio Grande finished with a 15-3 advantage in overall shots and an 8-2 edge in shots on goal. The RedStorm also had eight of the 10 corner kick opportunities in the match. Freshman net-minder Daniel Merino Correa (Madrid, Spain) had a pair of saves in a clean sheet effort. Thomas recorded three saves for the Pomeroys before giving way to Luis Lopez, who tallied two stops over the final 35:11.

Browns’ Mayfield practicing, hopes to play By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer BEREA, Ohio — One game on the sideline was too much for Baker Mayfield. The Browns’ starting quarterback has no plans to repeat it. Mayfield will practice Wednesday to test his injured left shoulder, and if all goes well, he intends to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. “I think similar to last week, see what I can do and take it day by day,” Mayfield said following the team’s pre-practice walk-through. He was asked if it’s possible he’ll play on Halloween against the Browns’ dreaded rival. “Absolutely,” he said. Mayfield had to sit out last Thursday’s victory — snapping his streak of 53 consecutive starts — over the Denver Broncos with a torn labrum and broken bone in his nonthrowing shoulder. He said after getting the rest “there was a noticeable difference in range of motion and strength.” If his shoulder doesn’t respond the way he hopes, Mayfield said he won’t jeopardize his health or the Browns’ chances. “If it’s a situation where I would hurt the team if I was out there playing, I’m not going to do it,” he said. David Richard | AP Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield watches players warm up for last week’s game against the Denver Broncos in Cleveland. Mayfield was scheduled to practice Wednesday, but said if his shoulder doesn’t respond the way he hopes, he won’t jeopardize his health or the Browns’ chances. Barring him injuring the shoulder worse, Mayfield’s certain he can continue to play the remainder of this season. “I’m completely confident in that,” he said. “If you go out there, you’re scared, you’re timid, that’s how you really get hurt seriously, so I can’t do that. So like I said, trying to get the strength back and be able to go as close to 100% as possible, and if that’s not the case, then we trust the guys we have out there.” The 26-year-old initially injured his shoulder while attempting to make a tackle on Sept. 19 against Houston and then made it worse when he got tripped up by J.J. Watt and bent his arm back during a fall on Oct. 17 in a loss to Arizona, fracturing his humerus bone. Mayfield was on track to play last week, but swelling in his shoulder affected his mobility. Backup Case Keenum made his first start since 2019 and guided the Browns (4-3) to a 17-14 win. Going forward, Mayfield said it will be paramount for him to protect himself when he runs. “And slide when I need to,” he said. Mayfield said it’s not a foregone conclusion that he’ll need offseason surgery for the complete tear in his labrum. Along with Mayfield, the Browns were missing several other key players last week. Star running back Nick Chubb and starting right tackle Jack Conklin also sat out. Mayfield said the view from the bench had some perks. “It’s not tough when you’re winning,” he said. “It’s pretty fun to watch these guys play and play for each other. I think the way those guys fought, it was a good team win. That’s what it’s about. “It’s finding ways to win no matter what it is, especially on a short week with limited guys. Just plug and play guys and just to watch them succeed.” By Mark Gillispie Associated Press CLEVELAND — A roller derby team that has called itself the Cleveland Guardians since 2013 sued the city’s Major League Baseball team in federal court in Cleveland on Wednesday alleging that the switch from Indians to Guardians infringes on its trademark. “A Major League club cannot simply take a smaller team’s name and use it for itself,” the lawsuit said. “There cannot be two ‘Cleveland Guardians’ teams in Cleveland, and, to be blunt, Plaintiff was here first.” The Cleveland Indians announced in July that it would assume the name Guardians for the 2022 season after years of criticism that the Indians name and Chief Wahoo logo were racist. The new name was adopted from the two large Art Deco statues that appear to stand guard on a bridge spanning the Cuyahoga River.

Over that same period, the Cougars have been an equally dominant force in their all-time series with the University of Rio Grande. That dominance continued in the latest meeting between the two schools, Saturday afternoon at the Newt Oliver Arena. IUK ran its overall record to 20-8 and improved to 12-1 in RSC play with a 25-17, 25-10, 25-13 victory over the RedStorm. Rio Grande slipped to 8-13 overall and 6-7 in league play as a result of the loss. The RedStorm suffered a seventh consecutive setback at the hands of the Cougars and dropped to 2-9 all-time against Kokomo. IUK finished the match with an eye-popping .375 attack percentage (42 kills, 9 errors, 88 swings), including a .565 mark (15-2-23) in the second set. The Cougars, who opened up leads of 6-1 in the opening set and 15-1 in set two, trailed just once the entire afternoon — 2-1 in set three. Rio was still within 11-10 in the third set before IUK settled the issue once and for all with a 9-2 run. Erinn Adam led a balanced attack at the net for the Cougars with nine kills, while Kaley Lyons and Kendal Williams finished with 21 and 13 assists, respectively. Alyvia Smith added 14 digs in the winning effort, while Alexa Roberts had three service aces and Jocelyn Hack tallied four block assists. Sophomore Amanda Rarick (Canal Winchester, OH) had a team-high eight kills and two block assists for Rio Grande, which finished with a .011 attack percentage (24 kills, 23 assists, 87 attacks). Freshman Avery Huntzinger (Canal Winchester, OH) totaled 19 assists and sophomore Darcie Walters (Sparta, OH) had 10 digs in a losing cause. Junior Jess Youse (Pettisville, OH) added a solo block and two block assists for the RedStorm. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

It formally registered the name Cleveland Guardians in 2017 with the Ohio secretary of state and has been selling team merchandise since 2014, the lawsuit said. The baseball team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. In April, the baseball team filed a trademark application for the Guardians name in the East African island nation of Mauritius, “effectively hiding the application unless one knew where to look,” the lawsuit said. The baseball team contacted the roller derby team in June, telling team officials it was considering using the Guardians name and asked the roller derby team to send a photo of its jersey, the lawsuit said. When the roller derby team offered to sell the rights to the Guardians name to the baseball team, the Indians offered to pay a “nominal amount” that the roller derby team rejected, the lawsuit said. back-to-back region championships, and this is also the first Black Knights team to go above 20 wins,” he said. “I’m so proud of these boys and it’s just a special time.” Leading the Black The baseball team subsequently made another trademark filing in Mauritius for the team logo, the lawsuit said. The team also filed two federal trademark applications in July claiming exclusive rights to the Guardians name. Negotiations between the two teams over rights to the name began after the baseball team’s July announcement and broke down on Tuesday, the lawsuit said. The roller derby team wants the baseball team to advertise and promote that it would no longer call itself the Guardians with “at least as much effort and resources” used to promote the new name, the lawsuit said. It also wants the baseball team to establish a fund equal to what the team spends on advertising and promotions if it continues using the Guardians name so the roller derby team can buy “corrective advertising.” The Cleveland Indians’ name change is scheduled to become official in the middle of November. Knights in shots on goal was Richards and junior Kanaan Abbas, who had two each. The Skyhawks had two shots throughout Tuesday’s game, shot by Isaac Setser and Jordan Smith.

Her upbeat comments came as Biden and Democrats try to strike agreement soon on his big proposal, now about $1.75 trillion in social services and climate change programs, in part to show foreign leaders the U.S. is getting things done under his still-new administration. White House officials were meeting at the Capitol with two key holdout Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. But Manchin hit the brakes, panning the Democrats’ proposed new billionaires’ tax, saying he didn’t like the idea of “targeting” the wealthy. Still, he said it’s time to move forward on a framework for Biden’s plan. “People in the stratosphere, rather than trying to penalize, we ought to be pleased that this country is able to produce the wealth,” Manchin told reporters ahead of the meeting. Manchin said he prefers a minimum 15% flat “patriotic tax” to ensure the wealthiest Americans don’t skip out on paying any taxes. “There’s a patriotic duty that you should be paying something to this great country,” he said. Nevertheless, he said: “We need to move forward — the president has made that very clear — he wants to move forward and we owe it to the president to move forward.” The quickening pace of negotiations came as Senate Democrats pushed past skeptics Wednesday and unveiled a new billionaires’ tax proposal, designed to help pay for the package and edge his party closer to an overall agreement. There’s a Sunday deadline to approve the smaller, bipartisan roadsand-bridges infrastructure bill or risk allowing funds for routine transportation programs to expire. But Andrew Harnik | AP Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., a key holdout vote on President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda, speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday. Manchin has objected to a tax on billionaires included in the $1.75 trillion package. that $1 trillion bill has been held up by progressive lawmakers who are refusing to give their support without the bigger Biden deal. Pelosi told colleagues she would communicate later in the day on developments, according to another person who requested anonymity to discuss the speaker’s private remarks at a meeting of House Democrats. “That will determine, our timetable, our course of action but we are in pretty good shape,” she said. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sounded a similar chord opening the chamber. “An agreement is within arm’s length,” said Schumer, D-N.Y. “We are hopeful that we can come to a framework agreement by the end of today.” Pelosi reiterated that in order for the House to pass the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Democrats need to have “the trust, the confidence and the reality” in Biden’s broader package. One part of that plan is coming into focus: The unveiling of the billionaires tax Wednesday could help resolve the revenue side of the equation as Democrats try to settle on a tax strategy. The proposed new tax would hit the gains of those with more than $1 billion in assets or incomes of more than $100 million a year, and it could begin to shore up the big social services and climate change plan. The new billionaires’ proposal, coupled with a new 15% corporate minimum tax, would provide alternative revenue sources that Biden needs to win over Sinema, who had rejected the party’s earlier idea of reversing Trump-era tax breaks on corporations and the wealthy to raise revenue. Biden met late Tuesday evening with Sinema and Manchin at the White House. The three made progress on the plans, according to statement from a White House official. “No senator wants to stand up and say, ‘Gee, I think it’s just fine for billionaires to pay little or no taxes for years on end,’” said Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, helming the new effort. Biden and his party are zeroing in on at least $1.75 trillion in health care, child care and cli- mate change programs, scaling back what had been a $3.5 trillion plan, as they try to wrap up negotiations this week. Taken together, the new tax on billionaires and the 15% corporate minimum tax are designed to fulfill Biden’s desire for the wealthy and big business to pay their “fair share.” They also fit his promise that no new taxes hit those earning less than $400,000 a year, or $450,000 for couples. Biden wants his package fully paid for without piling on debt. While the new tax proposals have appeared agreeable to Manchin and could win over Sinema, whose support is needed in the 50-50 split Senate where Biden has no votes to spare, the idea of the billionaires’ tax has run into criticism from other Democrats as cumbersome or worse. Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said he told Wyden the billionaires’ tax may be more difficult to implement than the route his panel took in simply raising rates on corporations and the wealthy. Sheriff: Movie set showed ‘some complacency’ with weapons By Morgan Lee, Susan Montoya Bryan and Cedar Attanasio Associated Press OH-70258794 Re -E le ct SANTA FE, N.M. — Investigators said Wednesday that there was “some complacency” in how weapons were handled on the movie set where Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed a cinematographer and wounded another person, but it’s too soon to determine whether charges will be filed. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza noted that 500 rounds of ammunition — a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and live rounds — were found while searching the set of the Western “Rust.” “Obviously I think the industry has had a record recently of being safe. I think there was some complacency on this set, and I think there are some safety issues that need to be addressed by the industry and possibly by the state of New Mexico,” Mendoza told a news conference nearly a week after the shooting. Authorities also confirmed there was no footage of the shooting, which happened during a rehearsal. Investigators believe Baldwin’s gun fired a single live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza. Detectives have recovered a lead projectile they For Continued Progress HARRY DEAN BROWNELL Gallipolis Twp. Trustee Paid by Cand.

See Sara’s story. believe the actor fired last week. Testing is being done to confirm whether the projectile taken from Souza’s shoulder was fired from the same long Colt revolver used by Baldwin. The FBI will help with ballistics analysis. Two other guns were seized, including a singleaction revolver that may have been modified and a plastic gun that was described as a revolver, officials said. Souza, who was standing behind Hutchins, told investigators there should never be live rounds present near the scene. “We suspect that there were other live rounds, but that’s up to the testing. But right now, we’re going to determine how those got there, why they were there because they shouldn’t have been,” Mendoza said. District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said investigators cannot say yet whether it was negligence or by whom. She called it a complex case that will require more research and analysis. “It will take many more facts, corroborated facts, before we can get to that criminal negligence standard,” she said. Investigators said they planned to follow up on reports of other incidents involving misfires with guns on the set. Mike Tristano, a veteran armorer, or movie weapons specialist, was alarmed to hear that live rounds were mixed in with blanks and dummy rounds. “I find that appalling,” Tristano said. “In over OH-70257740 600 films and TV shows that I’ve done, we’ve never had a live round on set.” The shooting has baffled Hollywood professionals and prompted calls to better regulate firearms on sets or even ban them in the age of seamless computergenerated imagery. Court records say that an assistant director grabbed the gun from a cart and indicated the weapon was safe by yelling “cold gun.” The armorer on the Baldwin film, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, said she checked dummy bullets on the day of the shooting to ensure that none were “hot” rounds. She also told a detective that while the guns used for filming were locked up during a crew lunch break, ammunition was left on a cart unsecured, according to a search warrant released Wednesday ahead of the news conference. Gutierrez Reed told a detective that no live ammo was ever kept on the set. When reached Wednesday by The Associated Press, she declined to comment. She said Monday by text message that she was looking for a lawyer. Assistant director David Halls, who handed the gun to Baldwin before the shooting, said Gutierrez Reed typically opened the hatch of the gun and spun the drum, though he couldn’t recall if she did that before the shooting. He said he only remembered seeing three rounds in the gun, according to the warrant. �Ohio Valley Publishing HEALTHY LIVING Ohio Valley Publishing HEALTHY LIVING Thursday, October 28, 2021 9 Thursday, October 28, 2021 9 Fall 2021 A Special Supplement to Walking the Tightrope Is Yoga for You?

Whether it’s the weather, waking up on the wrong side of the bed or another variable, various factors can have an adverse affect on a person’s mood. Food is one factor that can have a positive effect on mood. Certain foods have been found to positively affect mood, so incorporating them into your diet may help you stay positive even on those days when you get up on the wrong side of the bed. Fatty fish: A study from British researchers published in the Archives of General Psychiatry found that a daily dose of an omega-3 fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA, helped patients with depression significantly reduce their feelings of sadness and pessimism. Hackensack Meridian Health notes that salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, trout, and anchovies are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Nuts and seeds: The min- erals selenium, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc have all been linked to mental health, and nuts are rich in each of those minerals. Hackensack Meridian Health notes that almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and peanuts are particularly good sources of the immune systemboosting minerals zinc and magnesium. How many calories are burned during popular physical activities Burning calories is often a focal point of weight loss efforts. People go to great lengths to burn more calories, but they might be surprised to learn how many they can burn performing relatively routine physical activities. Men and women also may be surprised to learn that they burn calories differently from one another. According to the Mayo Clinic, men usually have less body fat and more muscle than women of the same age and weight. As a result, men typically burn more calories than women, though body size and composition also affects how many calories a person will burn while performing a given activity. For example, a man who is larger and has more muscle than another man his age will burn more calories, even if both men per- form the same activity with the same level of intensity. The U.S. Department of Agriculture cites the following calorie-burning figures for a 154-pound, 5’10” man who performs certain physical activities. Women likely won’t burn as many calories performing these activities, but Dark, leafy greens: Dark, leafy greens like kale, spinach and collards are rich in iron and magnesium, both of which can increase serotonin levels and help reduce feelings of each activity can still be an effective way for men and women to burn more calories. Walking (3.5 miles per hour): In 30 minutes, a man can expect to burn 140 calories. A man who walks 4.5 miles per hour will burn approximately 230 calories. The online health resource Healthline.com notes that a 125-pound person may burn roughly 150 calories walking for 30 minutes at 4.5 miles per hour. Hiking: A man will burn roughly 185 calories in 30 minutes of moderateintensity hiking. Women won’t burn as many calories, but both moderate and vigorous hiking are great ways to burn calories regardless of a person’s gender. Light gardening/yard work: A man will burn approximately 165 calories in 30 minutes performing light gardening/ yard work, while he will burn roughly 220 calories performing more physically taxing yard work like chopping wood. A 125-pound person will burn roughly 135 calories after 30 minutes of anxiety. Dark, leafy greens also help the body fight inflammation, which can have a positive effect on mood. A 2015 study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry found that brain inflammation contributed to certain behaviors, including low mood, that appear during major depressive episodes. Dark chocolate: Chocolate lovers may be happy to learn that dark chocolate can improve mood. A 2009 study published in the Journal of Proteome Research found that dark chocolate helped to reduce levels of the hormone cortisol, which has been linked to stress. Hackensack Meridian Health notes that, when consumed in moderation, dark chocolate made of at least 70 percent cocoa can help people relax. Various foods can have a beneficial effect on mood, potentially helping people to stay positive when doing so proves challenging. light gardening. Cycling: Men can burn roughly 145 calories cycling at 10 miles per hour or less for 30 minutes. That figure jumps to 295 calories when men ride at 10 miles per hour or faster. Healthline notes that a 125-pound person can burn roughly 210 calories in 30 minutes when riding between 12 and 13.9 miles per hour. Playing with children: Play sessions with the kids can help both moms and dads burn calories. Healthline notes that a 155-pound person may burn 149 calories in 30 minutes of playing with kids at moderate intensity, while a 125-pound person will burn roughly 120 calories in the same time. No two individuals are the same, so it can be hard for men and women to pinpoint just how many calories they burn performing popular physical activities. But there’s no denying that many of the activities adults engage in every day afford them ample opportunities to burn calories. �HEALTHY LIVING 10 Thursday, October 28, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing The many ways walking benefits your body The various health benefits of yoga only small numbers of people and have not been of high quality. As a result, the NCCIH can only say that yoga shows promise in regard to helping people manage or overcome certain health issues, but not that it has been proven to do so. Though yoga may need to be studied more closely and extensively, many people who include it in their regular health care routines report feeling better both physically and mentally for having done so, and that may not be a coincidence. A 2004 comprehensive review of yoga’s use as a therapeutic intervention published in the Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology indicated that yoga targets unmanaged stress, which has been linked to chronic disorders like anxiety, depression, obesity, diabetes, and insomnia. In addition to that review, the NCCIH notes that research has suggested yoga can: • Relieve low-back pain and neck pain • Relieve menopause symptoms • Help people manage anxiety or depressive symptoms associated with difficult life situations • Help people quit smoking • Help people who are overweight or obese lose weight • Help people with chronic diseases manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. It’s important that anyone considering making yoga part of their health care routines recognize that there are various forms of yoga, some of which are more physically demanding than others. So it’s best if individuals speak with their physicians before trying yoga so they can find the type that aligns best with their current levels of fitness. dics and Sports Medicine notes that walking can stop the loss of bone mass for people with osteoporosis. In addition, post-menopausal women who incorporate 30 minutes of walking into their daily fitness regimens can reduce their risk of hip fractures by 40 percent. Walking can extend your life. The AF notes that one study linked walking to longer life expectancy, finding that people who exercise regularly in their fifties and sixties were 35 percent less likely to die over the next eight years than people who never walked. Walking can improve mood. One study from researchers at California State University, Long Beach, found that the more steps people taking during the day, the better their moods were. Walking can lower risk for cognitive decline. Walking also has been linked to a lower risk for age-related cognitive decline. A study from the University of Virginia Health System found that men between the ages of 71 and 93 who walked more than a quarter of a mile per day had half the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease compared to men who walked less. In addition, a study from researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that age-related memory decline was lower among women ages 65 and older who walked 2.5 miles per day than it was among women who walked less than half a mile per week. OH-70258220 Health-conscious individuals can do many things to improve their overall health. As medical researchers continue to uncover new things about how to achieve optimal health, one practice dating back to ancient times remains a highly effective way to take care of the human body. Though there’s no written records regarding the origins and invention of yoga, the practice is believed to date back to ancient India. The earliest written record of yoga is “The Yoga Sutra of Pantañjali,” a collection of aphorisms that historians believe was compiled sometime between 500 BCE and 400 BCE. Despite its age, yoga has not been studied extensively by medical researchers. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, many studies looking into the health effects of yoga have included Life changed dramatically in 2020. When the World Health Organization declared a COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, hundreds of millions of people across the globe were forced to change how they go about their daily lives, including how they exercise. Health-conscious adults accustomed to exercising at local gyms had to find new ways to exercise in the wake of the pandemic. Many gyms were forced to close in areas hit hard by COVID-19, and that left many people without access to fitness equipment like weights and cardiovascular machines. Resilient men and women soon found ways to exercise, and many of them embraced walking. Though walking might not provide the same level of intensity that fitness enthusiasts are accustomed to, the Arthritis Foundation® notes the various ways walking benefits the body. Walking protects against heart disease and stroke. Walking strengthens the heart and protects it against heart disease. The AF also notes that walking lowers blood pressure. In fact, post-menopausal women who walk just one to two miles per day can lower their blood pressure by nearly 11 points in 24 weeks, while women who walk for 30 minutes a day can reduce their risk of stroke by 20 percent. Walking strengthens the bones.

It can be easy for adults in the prime of their lives to overlook the danger of chronic diseases, especially if they feel good and aren’t exhibiting any symptoms to suggest their health is in jeopardy. But overlooking the potential dangers of chronic disease can prove deadly. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. Chronic diseases are costly as well, as recent reports from the Rand Corp. and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services indicate that 90 percent of annual health care expenditures in the United States are for people with chronic and mental health conditions. While there’s no way to guarantee a person won’t develop a chronic disease, avoiding certain risky behaviors can help adults greatly reduce their risk for various chronic diseases. Tobacco use The CDC notes that tobacco is the leading cause of preventable disease, and not just among smokers. While 34 million adults in the United States smoke cigarettes, 58 million nonsmokers, including children, are exposed to secondhand smoke, which can cause chronic diseases like stroke, lung cancer and coronary heart disease. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk of impaired lung function, acute respiratory infections, middle ear disease, and more frequent and severe asthma attacks. Poor nutrition The value of fruits and vegetables is well- documented. In spite of that, the CDC reports that fewer than 10 percent of adults and adolescents eat enough fruits and vegetables. In addition, the CDC reports that 60 percent of young people between the ages of two and 19 and half of all adults consume a sugary drink on any given day. Such beverages, as well as processed foods, add unnecessary sodium, saturated fats and sugar to people’s diets, increasing their risk for chronic disease as a result. Lack of physical activity The Department of Health and Human Services has issued physical activity guidelines designed to help people improve their overall health and reduce their risk for various diseases. But the CDC reports that just 25 percent of adults and 20 percent of adolescents meet the recommended physical activity guidelines. Low levels of physical activity can contribute to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and obesity. heart disease, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, and stroke. In addition, the CDC reports that the less alcohol a person drinks, the lower his or her risk of cancer becomes. Chronic diseases are a formidable opponent. But people of all ages can reduce their chances of developing such diseases by avoiding a handful of risky behaviors. Excessive alcohol consumption The CDC notes that excessive alcohol consumption can cause Overcoming seasonal affective disorder The importance of rest Winter can be an awe-inspiring time of year. Snow-covered landscapes and opportunities to enjoy sports like skiing and snowboarding make winter a favorite time of year for nature enthusiasts and athletes. As fun as winter can be, many people struggle with the transition from warm weather and long, sunny days to cold weather and reduced hours of sunlight. Sometimes mistaken or misidentified as the “winter blues,” this phenomenon is known as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. Regular exercise has been linked to a host of health benefits. People who exercise regularly can lower their risk for chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes, and routine exercise can improve mood and potentially delay the onset of cognitive decline. As vital as physical activity is to a healthy lifestyle, there is such a thing as too much exercise. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, rest is an important part of training. Without ample rest, the body does not have time to recover before the next workout. That lack of rest not only adversely affects performance, but also increases a person’s risk for health problems, including injuries that can sideline athletes for lengthy periods of time. Committed athletes may have a hard time recognizing when they are pushing themselves too hard, and the line between perseverance and overdoing it can be thin. Many athletes credit their ability to push themselves mentally and physically with helping them achieve their fitness goals and thrive as competitors. But it’s vital that athletes learn to recognize the signs that suggest they’re exercising too much. The USNLM notes that the following are some signs of overdoing it with What is seasonal affective disorder? According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, SAD is a type of depression. The NIH notes that a person must meet full criteria for major depression coinciding with specific seasons for at least two years to be diagnosed with SAD. The American Psychiatric Association says symptoms of SAD can be distressing and overwhelming and even interfere with daily functioning. The APA notes that SAD has been linked to a biochemical imbalance in the brain that’s prompted by shorter daylight hours and less sunlight in winter. As the seasons change, a shift in a person’s biological internal clock or circadian rhythm can lead to them being out of step with their normal routines.

After that period of rest, the body should be fully recovered. However, if any of these issues linger after two weeks, seek the advice of a health care provider. A health care provider may recommend additional rest and/or conduct a series of tests to determine if an underlying issue is causing any of the aforementioned symptoms. Rest is as vital to an effective exercise regimen as proper technique, ensuring the body has ample time to recover and reducing the risk of overuse injuries.

But as the world spent much of 2020 confronting the COVID19 pandemic, putting certain things on hold became part of the new normal. In an effort to reduce infection rates, public health officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization urged people to limit their in person interactions with people outside of their own households. As a result, many of the things people do on a regular basis, including seeing their physicians for wellness visits, were rescheduled. It’s understandable that many people postponed preventive care and wellness visits during the pandemic, but it’s also potentially dangerous. For example, researchers with the Health Care Cost Institute found that childhood vaccinations declined by roughly 60 percent in mid-April 2020 compared with 2019. Other screenings and preventive exams, including mammograms, pap smears and colonosco- pies, also declined by significant percentages during the pandemic compared to the previous year. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion notes the power of preventive care is undeniable. In fact, the NCCDPHP points out that, while chronic diseases are among the most common and costly of all health problems, they’re also among the most preventable. Annual wellness visits and early detection efforts like routine screenings for at-risk populations can uncover problems before they escalate into something more serious. In addition, annual physicals, which are provided free of charge through many health insurance policies, provide great opportunities for doctors to advise patients on their overall health and how to improve it if exams and blood work turn up any red flags. Visiting a doctor during the pandemic. As vital as preventive care can be, it’s understandable if people are hesitant to visit their doctors during the pandemic. But patients can take certain steps to calm their nerves about booking preventive care appointments during the pandemic. Schedule telemedicine appointments. The number of telemedicine appointments has skyrocketed during the pandemic. While the transition from predominantly in-person appointments to telemedicine might have been a reluctant and rocky one at the start of the pandemic, many doctors’ offices have since firmly established their telemedicine protocols. The Mayo Clinic advises patients who have not yet tried telemedicine to contact their doctors’ offices to arrange an appointment. Inquire about office procedures. Doctors try to keep patients healthy, not get them sick. Various medical organizations, including the American Academy of Family Physicians, have provided thorough checklists to help physicians prepare their offices to welcome patients during the pandemic. Patients can ease their concerns by contacting their doctors’ offices and asking them about their pandemic-related protocols. Don’t hesitate to make requests. There’s no such thing as being too safe from COVID-19, so patients can work with their doctors to calm their fears even further. Ask to pay copays over the phone and request that the front desk call you when the doctor is ready so you don’t have to sit in the waiting room. Preventive care is an important component of health care, even during a pandemic. OPEN 24 HOURS!
