Project unveiling held at Meigs Primary School By Lorna Hart For Ohio Valley Publishing MIDDLEPORT – Project BEAR unveiled a Little Free Library in Meigs County during a ribbon cutting ceremony Monday morning. Meigs Primary School was chosen as the ﬁrst site, and representatives from the school and sponsoring organizations looked on as students from Cynthia Enright’s second grade class began ﬁlling the library with books. A Little Free Library is a book-sharing box that functions on the honor system. Books are free, there is no sign in or registration. Anyone may take a book, and are encouraged to return the book to the Little Library when they are ﬁnished reading. Participants can also share a book they wish to donate by placing the book in the box. The Little Free Library is part of a reading program entitled Project BEAR developed at Shawnee State University Children’s Learning Center in Portsmouth, Ohio. Project BEAR stands for Building Emerging and Achieving Readers. It had its beginnings in Scioto County, and is now offering the program to other counties in Ohio. Funding for the initial project came as a result of AmeriCorps, who chose to partner with Shawnee State. The expansion of the program has led to include additional partnerships that include Easterseals, ServeOhio, and the Governor’s partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program. Ohio University student Sarah Crabtree is the Project BEAR Region 2 Literacy Support member, and directed the ribbon cutting ceremony. She said that it is the perfect opportunity for kids who may not have access to the libraries in their area. “There are many reasons kids may not be able to go to a library,” Crabtree said. “This gives them another place to get books any time, they just go to the Little Library and select their book.” Meigs Primary School See LIBRARY | 12 Pfizer asks FDA to OK COVID-19 boosters for all adults By Lauran Neergaard AP Medical Writer Pﬁzer asked U.S. regulators Tuesday to allow boosters of its COVID-19 vaccine for anyone 18 or older, a step that comes amid concern about increased spread of the coronavirus with holiday travel and gatherings. Older Americans and other groups particularly vulnerable to the virus have had access to a third dose of the Pﬁzer and BioNTech vaccine since September. But the Food and Drug Administration has said it would move quickly to expand boosters to younger ages if warranted. Pﬁzer is submitting early results of a booster study in 10,000 people to make its case that it’s time to further expand the booster campaign.

Pﬁzer’s new study concluded a booster could restore protection against symptomatic infection to about 95%, even as the extra-contagious delta variant was surging. Side effects were similar to those seen with the company’s ﬁrst two shots. A median of 11 months after their last Pﬁzer vaccination, trial participants were given either a third dose or a dummy shot. Researchers tracked any infections that occurred at least a week later, and so far have counted ﬁve cases of symptomatic COVID-19 among booster recipients compared to 109 See BOOSTERS | 12 High court to weigh end of $300 weekly unemployment payment COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to decide whether Gov. Mike DeWine had the legal ability to end the state’s participation in a federal pandemic unemployment aid program ahead of a government deadline for stopping the payments. At issue before the court is a weekly $300 federal payment for Ohioans to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The federal government ended that program Sept. 6, but DeWine stopped the payments COLUMBUS, Ohio — School districts could set their own training requirements for armed employees under Republican legislation arising from a court battle over one district’s reaction to a school shooting. The legislation pending in the GOP-controlled House Criminal Justice Committee would set a minimum of 20 hours of training on top of what’s needed to obtain a concealed weapons permit, but would allow districts to opt for more. The bill is meant to override a state Supreme Court ruling earlier this year, which interpreted current Ohio law to require that armed teachers would need the same training as police, amounting to hundreds of hours. That would put the practice out of reach of almost all districts because of the time and expense. At least 10 other states have laws allowing school personnel to be armed, including Texas, which expanded the practice in 2019 after a 2018 school shooting, and Florida, which also allowed districts to add more armed employees in 2019 following the Parkland massacre a year earlier. What led to the debate in Ohio? In February 2016, a 14-year-old boy opened ﬁre on fellow students at a school cafeteria in southwestern Ohio. The teen pleaded guilty later that year to four attempted murder counts and one count of inducing panic. A judge ordered him held in juvenile detention until he turns 21, when he will be free if he stays out of trouble. Two years later, the Madison Local School District board voted to allow teachers and staff who received 24 hours of one-time concealed weapons training to carry ﬁrearms. A group of parents then sued the district to prevent teachers from being armed without extensive training, equivalent to what a police ofﬁcer undergoes. June 26, saying the need for the payments had ended. DeWine, a Republican, followed the position of business groups that said the weekly payment was making it difﬁcult to recruit employees. Critics of ending the payments said workers had multiple reasons why they might not be returning to jobs. A county judge rejected a lawsuit’s claims that DeWine didn’t have the authority to stop the payments, but What did the courts say? A Butler County judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying that school staffers did not need such training because they are not law enforcement ofﬁcers. The parents appealed to the 12th District Court of Appeals, which ruled that current Ohio law requires anyone who carries ﬁrearms in schools to have undergone a minimum of 728 hours of law enforcement training, the same as certiﬁed Ohio See PAYMENT | 12 See TRAINING | 12 �2 Wednesday, November 10, 2021 OBITUARIES/NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing OBITUARIES WAYNE EDWARD DAVIS POMEROY — Wayne Edward Davis, 72, of Pomeroy, died Sunday, November 7, 2021 at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

Ten years ago: The National Archives released a transcript of former President Richard Nixon’s June 1975 grand jury testimony after a judge ordered the government to do so; in it, a feisty and cagey Nixon defended his legacy and Watergate-era actions. Five years ago: President-elect Donald Trump took a triumphant tour of the nation’s capital, where he held a cordial White House meeting with President Barack Obama, sketched out priorities with Republican congressional leaders and took in the majestic view from where he would be sworn in to ofﬁce. One year ago: Democrat Cal Cunningham conceded defeat to Republican Thom Tillis in their North Carolina Senate race; Democrats would now have to win both runoff races in Georgia in January in order to seize Senate control. (The Democrats would win both.) The U.S. hit a record number of coronavirus hospitalizations and surpassed 1 million new conﬁrmed cases in just the ﬁrst 10 days of November amid a nationwide surge of infections. A Vatican investigation found that bishops, cardinals and popes downplayed or dismissed reports of sexual misconduct by former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick; much of the blame went to Pope John Paul II, who appointed McCarrick archbishop of Washington, D.C. in 2000 despite an investigation that conﬁrmed he had slept with seminarians.

In 2006, actor Jack Palance died in Montecito, California, at age 87. In 2009, John Allen Muhammad, mastermind of the 2002 sniper attacks that killed 10 in the Washington, D.C. region, was executed. President Barack Obama visited Fort Hood, Texas, where he somberly saluted the 13 Americans killed in a shooting rampage, and pledged that the killer would be “met with justice — in this world, and the next.” In 2017, facing allegations of sexual misconduct, comedian Louis C.K. said the harassment claims by ﬁve women that were detailed in a New York Times report “are true,” and he expressed remorse for using his inﬂuence “irresponsibly.” In 2018, President Donald Trump, in France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, canceled a visit to a cemetery east of Paris where Americans killed in that war are buried; rainy weather had grounded the presidential helicopter.

The panel subpoenaed several other former Trump advisers last month, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and longtime ally Steve Bannon. The House voted to hold Bannon in contempt after he said he would not comply. The panel has said it wants to not only investigate the attack itself but its origins, namely the lies that Trump spread about massive voter fraud even though all 50 states had certiﬁed the election and courts across the country rejected his claims.

The subpoenas, including demands for documents and testimony from senior adviser Stephen Miller and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, bring the House panel tasked with investigating the insurrection even closer inside Trump’s inner circle — and to Trump himself.

Freshman Hunter Collins See RUGBY | 7 Marshall takes down CUSA East foe FAU, 28-13 By Colton Jeffries cjeffries@aimmediamidwest.com BOCA RATON, Fla. — The Marshall football team made a big step to get on top of the Conference USA East Division standings after a 28-13 road win against the Florida Atlantic Owls Saturday evening. The win also gives Marshall bowl eligibility in the ﬁrst year of the Huff era. The Thundering Herd (6-3, 4-1 CUSA East) came out hot right out of the gate, with wide receiver Jayden Harrison returning the opening kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown. However, the Owls (5-4, 3-2) responded on their ﬁrst drive, with quarterback N’Kosi Perry ﬁnding wide receiver Brandon Robinson on a 27-yard pass into the end zone. It appeared the Herd was poised for another touchdown on their second possession, but Herd quarterback Grant Wells was intercepted in the Owl redzone. FAU used this turnover to march down the ﬁeld, but Marshall was able to keep them to a ﬁeld goal. The Owls added onto their lead a couple minutes into the second quarter, but the Green and White responded on their next drive when running back Rasheen Ali punched the ball in from three yards. With 37 seconds to go before halftime, Ali got another touchdown, a 21-yard run, to give the road team the lead once again. The last scoring play of the game came with just under two minutes to go in the third quarter, when Wells hit wide receiver Willie Johnson with a 65-yard bomb. The Thundering Herd had 447 yards of total offense, beating out the Owls by only six yards. Marshall had the majority of their yards through the air, with Wells recording a statline of 26 completions on 38 attempts and one interception for 351 yards, compared to Perry’s line of 15-29-0 and 198 for the Owls. On the other end, the FAU rush attack was more potent than Marshall’s with Ali once again leading the way with 90 yards on 18 carries. For the Owls, the rush leader was Johnny Ford, who had 138 yards on 13 carries. In receiving, the Herd was led by Johnson who had 140 yards on ﬁve receptions, and FAU was led by Willie Wright who had 69 yards on two catches. The Thundering Herd will be back on the ﬁeld at 3:30 p.m. Saturday when they host the defending Conference USA champions in AlabamaBirmingham. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Brayden O’Brien didn’t set a new personal record, but the junior did become Eastern High School’s ﬁrst-ever top-10 male ﬁnisher at the state level on Saturday during the 2021 OHSAA cross country championships held at Fortress Obetz. O’Brien — one of three Eagles competing at the state meet for the ﬁrst time — ended the day with a 10th place effort of 16:06.1 in the Division III boys race, missing ninth by just three-tenths of a second. O’Brien surpassed the previous high mark of 14th set by Michael Owen during the 2006 Division III meet held at Scioto Downs. An All-Ohio honoree because of his top-20 ﬁnish, O’Brien spoke about his ﬁrst time at state … and the success that came with his podium ﬁnish. “I was a little overwhelmed at the start, given the number of fans and it being my ﬁrst state ﬁnal in cross country. The nerves got to me a little bit, for sure,” O’Brien said. “Overall, I thought I ran a pretty good race. I went out a little too fast, maybe, because I was top-5 after a mile and top-6 after two miles, but I just couldn’t keep that pace at the end.

The Point Pleasant volleyball team is heading back to states for the third year in a row after earning runner-up in the Region IV Tournament Saturday morning. First, the Lady Knights (21-15) notched a 26-24, 25-9, 25-21 victory over the Scott Lady Eagles in the ﬁrst round of the tournament. Senior Addy Cottrill racked up a total of 14 kills during the game against Scott, trailed by fellow senior Brooke Warner with nine and sophomore Maddie Thomas with four. Senior Baylie Rickard was the clear leader in assists, notching 21 over the three sets. In serving, junior Kianna Smith led in aces with four, trailed by Rickard with three. In the championship round, the Lady Knights faced off against the Winﬁeld Lady Generals after the host team dealt with the Wayne Lady Pioneers in the previous round. This was a rematch of not only last year’s Regionals, but this year’s Sectional championship. The Green and White ended up taking the victory 25-13, 25-21, 25-23. It was also the fourth straight Winﬁeld win over PPHS this fall.

Booth, a native of New Philadelphia, Ohio, traversed the 8k course in a time of 26:06, nearly one minute faster than runnerup Drake Dickerson of Ohio Christian University. By virtue of his individual ﬁnish, Booth captured RSC Runner of the Year honors, earned a spot on the all-conference ﬁrst team and also secured a spot in the NAIA National Championship, which is scheduled for Nov. 19 in Vancouver, Wash. As a team, Rio Grande tied Indiana University Kokomo for second place with 97 points — a scant one point behind champion Midway University’s total of 96 points. IU Kokomo was awarded the runner-up nod over the RedStorm, though, based on the higher ﬁnish of its sixth runner. In addition to Booth, Rio Grande was represented by freshman Danuel Persinger (Glouster, OH), who ﬁnished 13th in a time of 28:15; junior Austin Setty (Fariﬁeld, OH), who was 18th after crossing in 28:28; freshman Matthew Spetnagel (Chillicothe, OH), who placed 28th in a time of 28:53; senior Dean Freitag (Magnolia, OH), who was 40th in a time of 29:40; freshman Jason Springer (Circleville, OH), who ﬁnished 44th with a mark of 30:02; and sophomore Kyle Lightner (Peebles, OH), who took 57th place in a time of 31:24. Persinger’s ﬁnish was good enough to garner second team All-RSC honors. Joining Booth and Dickerson on the allconference ﬁrst team were Jacob Kocis and Josiah Kocis of Midway, Thomas Chapman of St. Mary-of-the-Woods, Ohio Christian’s Corry Mientkiewicz and Luis Saldana of Indiana Kokomo. Midway head coach Jay Walls was voted RSC Coach of the Year, while Chapman was the RSC Newcomer of the Year. Along with Midway’s team, the top six individuals from other schools who earned individual bids to nationals were Booth, Dickerson, Chapman, Mientkiewicz, Saldana and Anthony Adams of St. Mary-of-the-Woods.

The RedStorm completed a season sweep of the Trailblazers, improving to 12-14 overall and 10-8 inside the RSC in the process. Ohio Christian ﬁnished 4-18 overall and 3-15 in conference play with the loss. Rio Grande hammered out a .237 attack percentage for the match, including a .400 mark in the opening set, and had three players with 10 or more kills. Sophomore Amanda Rarick (Canal Winchester, OH) led the strong play at the net with 20 kills and just four errors in 46 swings, while juniors Jess Youse (Pettisville, OH) and Beth Arnold (Williamstown, WV) ﬁnished with 11 kills each. The RedStorm trailed only 1-0 in set one, while the Trailblazers scored the ﬁnal two winners in a back-and-forth second set to even the match. Set three saw Rio erase four separate four-point deﬁcits and a set point to regain the match lead, while a 15-6 run in the fourth set snapped a 10-10 tie and sealed the match victory. Sophomore Shalea Byrd (Canal Winchester, OH) added two solo blocks and three block assists in the win, while Youse had two service aces, a solo block and four block assists and Rarick ﬁnished with four block assists.

But it was unclear from video footage whether Joseph Rosenbaum was grabbing for Rittenhouse’s gun or trying to swat it away, said the witness, Dr. Doug Kelley, with the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s ofﬁce. Kelley was one of the ﬁnal witnesses for the state before prosecutors rested their murder case after 5 1/2 days of testimony that were aimed at portraying Rittenhouse as the aggressor but often bolstered the young man’s claim of self-defense. His lawyers have suggested he was afraid his gun would be taken away and used against him. The defense then began presenting its side, calling as its ﬁrst witnesses people who were on the streets with Rittenhouse that night and described racially charged debate over vigilantism, the right to bear arms, and the unrest that erupted around the U.S. that summer over the killing of George Floyd and other police violence against Black people. On Tuesday, the jury watched drone video that was zoomed-in and slowed down to show Rosenbaum following Rittenhouse, and then Rittenhouse wheeling around and shooting Rosenbaum at close range. Kelley, the pathologist, said Rosenbaum was shot four times by someone who was within 4 feet of him. He testiﬁed that Rosenbaum was ﬁrst wounded in the groin and then in the hand and thigh as he faced Rittenhouse, and then was shot Sean Krajacic | The Kenosha News via AP, pool Mark Richards, lead attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, left, with help from Kenosha Police Department Detective Ben Antaramian, right, in the head and in the demonstrates how Joseph Rosenbaum could have been shot in the hand by Kyle Rittenhouse as Dr. Douglas Kelley, a forensic pathologist back.

RETURN JONATHAN MEIGS DAR CHAPTER NEWS The members of The Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) recently met in October to clean around the George Washington Marker on State Route 124 near Long Bottom. Since it is maintained and was established by the DAR many years ago, it is done every October. Seven members took part in the cleaning. It was decided by the group to have some outside repairs done on the marker soon. A brief business meeting was held prior to the cleaning, and was opened by Regent Gina Tillis. It was noted the grave marking for Revolutionary soldier, Robert Townsend, would be held Sunday, October 17, at the Pageville Cemetery by the DAR/SAR. A ceremony was planned for this to take place. The wreath laying for Patriots will be held in December at a date set later. Collections for Care Boxes for the USO will be done at the November meeting. Christmas cards were to be signed and sent to members in the military before Oct. 31. A report was given on The 247th Battle of Point Pleasant by members who attended it on Oct. 2. The meeting adjourned and the group cleaned brush and debris from the site with the assistance of guest, Don Tillis. Afterwards refreshments were enjoyed with a sack lunch brought by members. The next meeting will be held at the Chester Academy on Nov. 20 with a program presented by member, Deb Moreland on Historical Revolutionary Sites. Submitted by Linda Russell. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A bipartisan panel of Ohio senators and representatives is ready to begin its ﬁnal push to approve the state’s new congressional map, a complicated but important task that could determine who speaks for Ohioans in the U.S. House in Washington for the next decade. The new Joint Committee on Congressional Redistricting has scheduled meetings Wednesday and Friday to hash out a compromise on three proposals for the new U.S. House boundaries that are moving through the Legislature. House Republicans, Senate Republicans and Senate Democrats all have laid out their own visions. Under rules established by Ohio voters in 2018, the committee needs to hold two hearings before a vote can be taken. The deadline is Nov. 30, but legislative leaders had said they would like to complete the task sooner. If the two parties can’t agree, majority Repub- licans could approve a map without Democrats, but it would only hold for four years rather than 10. States are required to redraw their congressional maps every 10 years to reﬂect updated U.S. Census ﬁgures. Due to lagging population, Ohio is losing one seat in the U.S. House — taking it from 16 to 15. That has factored into proposed maps that merge existing congressional districts, draw sitting U.S. House members out of districts and split and combine counties, cities and various pockets of political control in a host of ways. Serving on the joint committee are: Sen. Theresa Gavarone and Rep. Shane Wilkin, chairs of their respective chambers’ government committees; Rep. Scott Oelslager, Sen. Rob McColley and Sen. Vernon Sykes, sponsors of various map proposals; and Rep. Beth Liston. All are Republicans, except Sykes and Liston, who are Democrats. Boosters what’s called mixing and matching. About 194 million Americans are fully vaccinated. Under today’s policies, authorities already estimated about 2 of every 3 vaccinated adults could qualify for a booster within the next few months. Many who don’t meet the criteria often score an extra shot because many vaccine providers don’t check qualiﬁcations. FDA spokeswoman Alison Hunt said the agency would review Pﬁzer’s application “as expeditiously as possible,” but would not set a timeline for a decision. She also said the FDA hasn’t yet decided whether to convene its panel of outside experts to vet the data. If the FDA authorizes Pﬁzer’s request for expanded boosters, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention then will make recommendations for how to use them. Globally, boosters also are a hodge-podge. Some countries restrict them to older or medically fragile people while others have few restrictions. Israel, for example, has allowed Pﬁzer boosters for anyone 12 and older. Canada’s health regulator on Tuesday authorized Pﬁzer boosters for people 18 and older. ___ AP Health Writer Matthew Perrone contributed to this report.

Edgerton that included cases among people who got dummy shots. The Biden administration had originally envisioned boosters for all adults, but faced a stinging setback in September when the FDA’s scientiﬁc advisers rejected extra Pﬁzer doses for everyone. The panel wasn’t convinced that young healthy people needed another dose, particularly when most of the world’s population remains unvaccinated, and instead recommended boosters just for certain groups — one of a series of decisions about extra doses for all of the three vaccines used in the U.S. The current rules: People who initially received Pﬁzer or Moderna vaccinations are eligible for a booster six months later if they’re 65 or older, or are at high risk of COVID19 because of health problems or their job or living conditions. Because the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine hasn’t proven as effective as its twodose competitors, any J&J recipient can get a booster at least two months later. Also, anyone eligible for a booster doesn’t have to stick with their initial vaccination type and can get a different company’s vaccine, Payment From page 1 the 10th Ohio District Court of Appeals reversed that ruling. Ending the program early stopped about $900 million in Ohio payments. The two parties disagree on whether that money could still be paid, should the court rule against DeWine. The Ohio Supreme Court voted 4-2 to take the case, with Justice Patrick DeWine, the governor’s son, recusing himself to avoid the appearance of impropriety “that might result from my father’s public involvement in this case.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
