Terry Chea | AP A volunteer packs onions in the warehouse of the Alameda County Community Food Bank in Oakland, Calif., last week. U.S. food banks dealing with increased demand from families sidelined by the pandemic now face a new challenge – surging food prices and supply chain issues.

Pre-pandemic, it was spending a quarter of the money for 2.5 million pounds (1.2 million kilograms) of food. The cost of canned green beans and peaches is up nearly 9% for them, Altfest said; canned tuna and frozen tilapia up more than 6%; and a case of 5-pound frozen chickens for holiday tables is up 13%. The price for dry oatmeal has climbed 17%. On Wednesdays, hundreds of people line up outside a church in east Oakland for its weekly food giveaway. Shiloh Mercy House feeds about 300 families on those days, far less than the 1,100 families it was nourishing at the height of the pandemic, said Jason Bautista, the charity’s event manager. But he’s still seeing new people every week. “And a lot of people are just saying they can’t afford food,” he said. “I mean they have the money to buy certain things, but it’s just not stretching.” Families can also use a community market Shiloh opened in May. Refrigerators contain cartons of milk and eggs while sacks of hamburger buns and crusty baguettes sit on shelves.

Michael Frushour, the zoo’s curator of mammals, told The Toledo Blade that the bear named Marty was euthanized Nov. 4, less than a month shy of his 25th birthday, Marty had been diagnosed a couple of years ago with what Frushour described as “age-related kidney disease.” Zoo ofﬁcials had recently noticed that Marty wasn’t eating as much as usual and had become less active. An examination determined his kidneys were now functioning very poorly, so they decided to have him euthanized. Marty was born in late 1996 and came to the Toledo Zoo from Chicago in 1999. In 2007, he went to the Pittsburgh Zoo for a year before he returned to Toledo. The zoo hopes to replace Marty with another male polar bear, though it’s not yet clear when that might happen. �OH-70261727 Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, November 11, 2021 3 �COMICS 4 Thursday, November 11, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Having A Yard Sale?

But none of his 592 career victories had come against the Bears on their home ﬂoor. Until Tuesday night, that is. Ella Skeens and Hailey Jordan scored 16 points each and Kaylee Darnell ﬁnished with a careerhigh 15 points and eight rebounds to lead the RedStorm in an 84-80 victory, which spoiled Shawnee’s home opener. Rio Grande improved to 5-0 with the win, just its seventh in 56 alltime meetings with the Bears and its ﬁrst in 27 matchups between the two schools in Portsmouth. Shawnee State dropped to 1-1 with the loss, just its ﬁfth in 34 alltime home openers and its ﬁrst in a home lid-lifter since 2007. The Bears erased a 13-point ﬁrst quarter deﬁcit and used a 9-0 run which bridged the end of the period and the start of the second stanza to take a 32-28 lead of their own following a layup by Kevanika Brown with 8:07 left in the half. Rio rebounded, though, to regain a 47-43 edge at the intermission and, despite Shawnee forging a pair of ties early in the third quarter, never trailed again. In fact, the RedStorm pushed their lead back to as many as 12 points late in the period and reached the mark again with just under ﬁve minutes to play in the game, but the Bears refused to go away quietly in front of raucous crowd. Rio led 84-73 after a layup by Jordan with 2:16 left to play, but Shawnee closed the gap to 84-80 following a jumper by Kam Elzy with 15 seconds remaining. The RedStorm threw the ball away on their ensuing possession — one of their 26 turnovers for the game and 16 second half miscues — but the mad scramble to gain control of the loose ball left just one second to play and the Bears ﬁnal shot of the night was off the mark as time expired. Skeens, a junior from Chillicothe, Ohio and the reigning River States Conference Player of the Week, scored all of her points in the ﬁrst half. She also ﬁnished with a game-high eight rebounds. Jordan, a junior from Columbus, Ohio, had 10 of her points after halftime, including eight in the ﬁnal period. She also tied for team honors with four assists and added a team-high two steals. Darnell, a freshman from Wheelersburg, Ohio, surpassed her previous highs of 12 points and seven rebounds by scoring nine of her 15 points See SHAWNEE | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Nov. 12 Volleyball (7) Point Pleasant vs. (2) Philip Barbour at Chas.

The Bobcats outgained the hosts by a 495-452 overall margin in total yards of offense, including a substantial 265-98 advantage on the ground. EMU did claim a 29-25 edge in ﬁrst downs and also committed the only turnover of the game. Both squads had two punts apiece as well. Tuggle led the Ohio rushing attack with 78 yards on 14 carries, followed by Armani Rogers with 61 yards on 10 attempts. Rourke added six rushes for 55 yards and also completed 10-of18 passes for 230 yards and three scores. Cox led the Bobcat wideouts with four catches for 66 yards. Johnson was a perfect 4-for-4 on PAT kicks and made both of his ﬁeld goal attempts. Floyd paced the OU defense with 12 tackles and Bryce Houston was close behind with 11 stops. Will Evans added a sack for the victors as well. Bryant ﬁnished the night 41-of-57 passing for 354 yards, including a pick and a score. Samson led EMU with 62 rushing yards on eight carries. Tanner Knue hauled in a game-high 11 passes for 127 yards, with Hassan Beydoun and Drummond each grabbing nine catches apiece for 85 and 73 yards respectively. Ryland was perfect on two PAT kicks and as many ﬁeld goal tries. Terry Myrick recorded a team-high 12 tackles for the Eagles. Jose Ramirez was next with eight stops.

Today’s highlight in history On Nov. 11, 1620, 41 Pilgrims aboard the Mayﬂower, anchored off Massachusetts, signed a compact calling for a “body politick.” On this date In 1831, former slave Nat Turner, who’d led a slave uprising, was executed in Jerusalem, Virginia. In 1918, ﬁghting in World War I ended as the Allies and Germany signed an armistice in the Forest of Compiegne (kohmPYEHN’-yeh). In 1921, the remains of an unidentiﬁed American service member were interred in a Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in a ceremony presided over by President Warren G. Harding. In 1938, Irish-born cook Mary Mallon, who’d gained notoriety as the disease-carrying “Typhoid Mary” blamed for the deaths of three people, died on North Brother Island in New York’s East River at age 69 after 23 years of mandatory quarantine. In 1942, during World War II, Germany completed its occupation of France. In 1966, Gemini 12 blasted off on a fourday mission with astronauts James A. Lovell and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. aboard; it was the tenth and ﬁnal ﬂight of NASA’s Gemini program. In 1972, the U.S. Army turned over its base at Long Binh to the South Vietnamese, symbolizing the end of direct U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1987, following the failure of two Supreme Court nominations, President Ronald Reagan announced his choice of Judge Anthony M. Kennedy, who went on to win conﬁrmation. In 1992, the Church of England voted to ordain women as priests. In 1998, President Clinton ordered warships, planes and troops to the Persian Gulf as he laid out his case for a possible attack on Iraq. Iraq, meanwhile, showed no sign of backing down from its refusal to deal with U.N. weapons inspectors. In 2003, in Galveston, Texas, millionaire Robert Durst was found not guilty of murdering Morris Black, an elderly neighbor who Durst said he’d killed accidentally. In 2004, Palestinians at home and abroad wept, waved ﬂags and burned tires in an eruption of grief at news of the death of Yasser Arafat in Paris at age 75. Ten years ago: Heralding the end of one war and the drawdown of another, President Barack Obama observed Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery by urging Americans to hire the thousands of servicemen and women com- ing home from Iraq and Afghanistan. A gunman armed with an assault riﬂe ﬁred a series of shots at the White House from long range (Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was sentenced to 25 years in prison under a plea bargain with prosecutors.) Five years ago: President-elect Donald Trump shook up his transition team as he plunged into the work of setting up his administration, elevating Vice President-elect Mike Pence to head the operations. Three days after Election Day, President Barack Obama used his last Veterans Day speech to urge Americans to learn from the example of veterans as a divided nation sought to “forge unity” after the bitter 2016 campaign. Actor Robert Vaughn, 83, died in Connecticut. One year ago: Georgia’s secretary of state announced an audit of presidential election results that he said would be done with a full hand tally of ballots because the margin was so tight; President-elect Joe Biden led President Donald Trump by about 14,000 votes out of nearly 5 million votes counted in the state. Texas became the ﬁrst state with more than 1 million conﬁrmed COVID19 cases. The U.S. marked Veterans Day with virtual gatherings and spectator-free parades; many of the traditional ceremonies were canceled because of the surging coronavirus that had killed thousands of veterans. Cleveland Indians ace Shane Bieber was the unanimous winner of the American League Cy Young Award; in the National League, Trevor Bauer became the ﬁrst Cincinnati Reds pitcher to win the award.

GOP bill would target Ohio protesters with terrorism law By Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — People attending a rally who end up accused of violating an anti-riot law could be targeted with a provision normally used against terroristic activity under GOP legislation in the Ohio House proposed in the wake of racial injustice and police brutality protests in summer 2020. The bill also would increase penalties for rioting, create the offenses of riot assault and riot vandalism, and make it illegal to harm someone based on their status as a ﬁrst responder. The legislation, one of several Republican bills targeting protest behavior, was approved Wednesday by the Republican-controlled House Criminal Justice Committee along party lines. The legislation would also allow police ofﬁcers harmed during riots to sue people or organizations for damages, as well as people or groups accused of ﬁling false complaints against ofﬁcers. The measure is common-sense legislation that supports people’s right to peacefully assemble while punishing lawbreakers, said bill co-sponsors Rep. Sara Carruthers, a Hamilton Republican, and Rep. Cindy Abrams, a Cincinnati Republican and former police ofﬁcer. Andrew Welsh-Huggins | AP State Rep. Cindy Abrams, a Cincinnati Republican and former police officer, stands outside the Statehouse hearing room where her bill increasing punishments against violent protesters was approved on Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio. Abrams called the measure, approved by the GOPcontrolled House Criminal Justice Committee along party lines, common sense legislation that supports people’s right to peacefully assemble while punishing lawbreakers. “When you make that conscious choice to pick up the brick and throw it at a police ofﬁcer, or throw it at an innocent person, or throw it through the small business, it’s not right, and you’re going to be held accountable,” Abrams said Wednesday. Under the bill, Ohio’s corrupt activity law would be expanded to include the offense of knowingly providing “material support or resources” — anything from lodging, training, or transportation — with the intent that such support aids in the carrying out of a riot. Material support is conduct often Jeopardy tied in both state and federal law to actions by alleged terrorist groups. The Ohio chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union calls the legislation an extreme attack on free speech. “This bill is terrible for our democracy, terrible for Ohioans, and is meant to intimidate individuals who exercise their First Amendment Rights,” said Gary Daniel’s, ACLUOhio’s chief lobbyist. Because the deﬁnition of “false complaint” isn’t spelled out and there’s no process for assessing a complaint’s validity, that provision could force people to rethink ﬁling complaints of any kind, to have to shoot” Joseph Rosenbaum, the ﬁrst man to fall that night, but he said Rosenbaum was From page 1 chasing him and had threatened to kill him earlier. “If I would have let Mr. Rosentwo fatally, during a night of turbulent protests against racial injustice baum take my ﬁrearm from me, in Kenosha in the summer of 2020. he would have used it and killed me with it,” he said, “and probably “I didn’t do anything wrong.

Other opponents include churches, Black Lives Matter groups, Greenpeace and the Ohio Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. The statewide associations representing ﬁreﬁghters, police ofﬁcers and prosecuting attorneys all support the legislation. Last month, the GOP majority state Senate approved a bill prohibiting governments from stopping sales of guns or ammunition during a public emergency, another bill that arose from both the 2020 protests and orders issued by Gov. Mike DeWine during the coronavirus pandemic. going to kill them, correct?” Binger asked. Rittenhouse, his voice cracking, responded: “He could have ran away instead of trying to take my gun from me, but he kept chasing me. It didn’t stop him.” Earlier in the day, Binger asked Rittenhouse about whether it was appropriate to use deadly force to protect property, and also posed questions about the defendant’s silence after his arrest. At that, the jury was ushered out of the room, and Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder loudly and angrily accused Binger of pursuing an improper line of questioning and trying to introduce testimony that the judge earlier said he was inclined to prohibit. �10 Thursday, November 11, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Ohio Valley Publishing Thursday, November 11, 2021 11 Undefeated DEALS Rush in this week to score competitioncrushing savings on hundreds of in-stock vehicles!

At the top of the hill was the cemetery, where a light wind blew numerous ﬂags placed to honor Continental soldier Private Robert Townsend. Such was the setting on Photo courtesy Lorna Hart the afternoon of October Following a three-round volley with 18th century style flintlocks performed by the S.A.R. Honor 17, 2021, when members Guard, members ended the ceremony with the closing pledge: “Until we meet again, let us remember of the Sons of the Ameriour obligations to our forefathers who gave us our Constitution, The Bill of Rights, an independent can Revolution (S.A.R.) Supreme Court, and a nation of free men.” and the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.) came together for the grave marking ceremony of Townsend, one of ﬁrst veterans of what would become the United States of America. Townsend’s service records indicate he served four years under the immediate command of General George Washington. The Massachusetts Ofﬁce of the Secretary of State Archives of Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War lists him as a private in Burton’s Company, Sherburne’s Regiment, serving with the Continental Troops during the American Revolutionary War. Born in a part of Massachusetts that later became Kennebec County, Maine on 22, February, 1755, he was married twice and the father of eight children. The Census of 1840 records him living with his daughter in Dowington, Ohio until his death on 10, April, 1846. Keynote speaker Brian Ash, whose personal genealogical research identiﬁed of Townsend’s Revolutionary War connection, said, “The process of marker placement helps us become more acquainted with the life history, struggles, and service of individuals who served and sacriﬁced to gain the freedoms we now enjoy.” Ash observed, “Physically placing a marker at a patriot’s gravesite is a tangible way to express gratitude for service, and to keep the patriot’s memory alive for those in the future. “ Ash continued, “Although we may not know him personally, we can still know a few things about him. He was brave. He chose to defend his country, his homeland, and family at great personal risk. He was a true American in the sense that he valued the ideals and freedoms upon which our country would be formed, and that he was committed.” The ceremony included a number of S.A.R. and D.A.R. grave marking traditions, such as the Presentation of Colors, and a three-round volley with 18th Century style ﬂintlocks performed by the S.A.R. Honor Guard led by Ohio State S.A.R. Commander Robert Hill. S.A.R. Lt. George Ewing Chapter conducted the ceremonies, with Chaplain Dale Colburn presenting the invocation and benediction.

Many of them also have sacriﬁced their lives for the same causes of those loved ones who gave their lives in the Armed Forces of the United States.” Williams then spoke more about what Memorial Day means — both now and then. “It seems like we are, or have maybe, lost some of the value of life in America,” he said. “And Memorial Day is a day we recognize the value of those lives. As important as the day is, maybe it has lost some of its meaning from the days of yesterday. Maybe there has been a change over the years… I can remember as just a very small, young boy, my mother taking me to a cemetery and I didn’t understand why I would have to go…but now I do.” Williams then quoted Audie Murphy, “the most decorated veteran this country has ever known” and recited the entire poem “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae. “I can remember in my younger years of the words of ‘Flanders Fields,’ it was something said, I think, at every gathering on Memorial Day,” Williams said. “Most of our youth have no idea the meaning of, or have never heard those words, but they have great meaning…” In honor of all Veterans...

At the moment, in our country, we are at peace from war but do we see peace, everywhere?” Williams also reminded those gathered to also remember service personnel who may not have perished on a battleﬁeld, but still had their lives cut short while serving — mentioning tragic scenarios like an Air Force jet malfunction, munitions exploding on a ship, a training accident on a runway. “In the air, on the sea, on land, whether at home or far away, the bill for protecting America and our way of life, has been served on our young men and woman in every generation,” he said. “Each year we pause to honor those heroes who died in our nation’s uniforms over the years…whether they lost their lives in a World War…or whether they died through accident while serving in some remote outpost, their contribution is the same, they gave their last full measure and their families still grieve. But this day, this Memorial Day, is a time to remember those who did not return from serving their country. “Some families mark this day by pulling out old envelopes, ﬁlled with photographs and bundles of yellowed letters. With these reminders, they will look back through memory’s eye, momentous times in our nation’s past…the images they see will not be of people who are old or frail but of people who are forever young, forever full of life, forever frozen in time.” Williams then described photos of service men and women from World War I to present, full of life before they met an untimely end, explaining these images, both past and present “remind us that our nation was founded on the belief that our democratic ideals are OH-70258092 Williams Ohio Valley Publishing Offering Nationwide, Travelers, Progressive & Allstate (740) 446-7985 OH-70260550 Thank you for your service!!

Service members make numerous sacriﬁces in defense of their countries. While the debts to service members may never be the kind that can be repaid in full, paying tribute to veterans, on Veteran’s Day and throughout the year, can be a great way to show them just how much their efforts are appreciated. However, many people did not agree with this decision, continuing to honor the holiday on the original date. In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed a new law that returned Veteran’s Day to Nov. 11 beginning in 1978. Since then, parades, memorial events, volunteer efforts, and other celebrations revolving around veterans have been held on Nov. 11. brance Day also is called Poppy Day, when people of the Commonwealth member states wear a red poppy ﬂower in honor of military members who have died in the line of duty.

While many people now view Memorial Day weekend as the unofﬁcial start of summer, the weekend should not be celebrated without also pausing to reﬂect on and recognize the military personnel who lost their lives in defense of freedom and the American way of life.

POMEROY/LONG BOTTOM, Ohio — It was a homecoming nearly 77 years in the making. Military services, proclamations, presentation of medals, and a procession through ﬂag-lined streets welcomed home Army Pfc. James Wilmer White last Saturday nearly 77 years after he was killed in Burma during World War II. The city of Chillicothe, as well as village of Pomeroy and Meigs County all declared Saturday, June 12, 2021, as Army Private First Class James Wilmer White Day in honor of the late soldier. Presentations from both Pomeroy and Chillicothe, as well as the Ohio VFW were made before the services at the EwingSchwarzel celebration center (former Maple Lawn Brewery) with veterans from across the state in attendance. Major Patrick Hernandez, who is part of the Casualty Operations division of the Ohio National Guard, had been working with the White family leading up to the services and spoke brieﬂy during the presentations. During the public visitation, veterans and active duty military members were given the opportunity to pass by the casket to pay their respects to White and his family. Following the funeral service, military pallbearers carried the ﬂag draped casket to the horse drawn hearse as a bagpiper played “Going Home.” Doves were also released from the hillside above. As the procession moved from the EwingSchwarzel Funeral Home toward Main Street, local band members under the direction of Toney Dingess played patriotic music. Hundreds of people lined the streets, waving ﬂags in tribute to White. Local ﬁre departments also took part in the tribute with an American Flag draped from the Middleport and Pomeroy ladder trucks. It was at that location that local veterans served as pallbearers, moving the ﬂag draped casket from the horse drawn hearse to the motorized hearse. The procession then moved to the White family cemetery off Bashan Road for burial of White with his family.

Military honors were conducted, with the ﬂag from the casket folded and given to the family at the conclusion of the service. White, who grew up in Meigs County, later moved to Chillicothe, married his wife, Mary Frances Hunt, and joined the United States military. On July 2, 1944, Pfc. James Wilmer White was killed in action and unidentiﬁable outside Myitkyina, Burma (now known as Myanmar). He was ﬁghting with the famed 5307thComposite Unit Provisional — The Merrills Marauders. His Army Infantry Unit was conferred the Congressional Gold Medal by both Houses of Congress this past fall. He was temporarily buried in U.S. Military Cemeteries in Burma and India.

His name is recorded on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in Taguig City, Philippines, along with others still missing from World War II.

Smith Schools of Business, as we realize a long-cherished dream of our community and our alumni to have a dedicated, world-class facility for our business students. The shovels in the ground may last only a moment, but the economic impact of the Brad D. Smith Center for Business and Innovation on the state, the region and the city will be incredibly signiﬁcant,” said Mukherjee, who is serving as interim provost at Marshall and has been dean of the Lewis College of Business since 2017. Ofﬁcials say the facility will allow for more interdisciplinary collaboration among students and faculty, concurrently advancing research, 21st-century learning and community engagement. “A lot of people have put forth a lot of time and effort to make sure that this structure is a ﬁrst-class facility that we can all be proud of,” said Toney Stroud of the Marshall University Board of Governors, adding that he could not list everyone, but he thanked Dr. Gilbert and senior administrative staff, Mukherjee, and Advisory Board President Commodore Tony Martin and team, among many others who donated time and funds toward the project. “I’m pleased to report that we have now completed the design and development phase and we are putting the ﬁnishing touches on what this new building will look like,” Stroud said. “Folks, you’re going to be proud when you see this new facility sitting here on this spot where we are standing. … I know this building will be a tremendous asset for Marshall University. It’s going to increase our student experience and will assist in efforts as we recruit and attempt to grow enrollment here at Marshall University.” The facility is expected to be 77,000 gross square feet and completed during the fall of 2023. Along with classroom space, the Brad D. Smith Center for Business and Innovation will feature a forum and auditorium, computer and ﬁnance labs, ofﬁce space, meeting rooms, and study spaces for students. It will be equipped with conference capabilities for both small and large business gatherings and serve as an incubator for both management and practice, offering student-centered opportunities for learning and collaboration. Smith began his remarks by reminding the guests of the saying, “If your dreams can be achieved alone, you’re not dreaming big enough.” He added, “And this is evidence of what is possible when we all come together.” “There are some people who have really leaned in and sweated the details to make this moment happen, starting with you, President Gilbert. This was your vision. You made this possible. I dreamt an opportunity to ﬁnd a way to support the university in something that I knew would have an impact, and you made that all happen,” Smith said, also thanking Mukherjee, Stroud and several others. “Our time has come, and we are leaning in collectively to seize this moment and shape the future, not only for our community but for the rest of the world.” Future development that is envisioned along Fourth Avenue will continue to be a collaboration among Fairmount Properties, Marshall University, PJ Dick Construction and Perkins Eastman. “A bigger part of this dream is to connect Fourth Avenue from the campus to the center of the downtown business district with a hightech corridor that stimulates imagination, creates jobs and attracts investments to Huntington,” Gilbert said. “Together, the university and the city will prevail, and this groundbreaking is further evidence that the vision is truly taking shape today. I’m gratiﬁed that I’ve had the chance in my presidency to start the wheels in motion to take us to where we are today.” The news release further stated, “Fairmount Properties plans to develop a vibrant, mixed-use district where one can live, work, dine, play and recreate, anchored by and adjacent to Marshall’s new Brad D. Smith Center for Business and Innovation. In addition to sophisticated new urban residential units geared to Marshall faculty, staff, medical and other professionals in Huntington, the district is expected to include new restaurant and retail options curated to help recruit and retain Marshall graduates. “This ‘Marshall Business and Innovation District’ will be strategically located where downtown meets Marshall University’s main campus, presenting opportunities for strategic as well as chance connections, idea sharing, and catalytic growth leading to broad and sustained economic effects.” Information provided by Marshall University. new things to do,” Rocchi said. The light event is purely donor funded, Rocchi added. While the organization has two fundraisers each year, due to COVID-19 both have had to been cancelled for the past two years. Rocchi said anyone wishing to donate to the event is welcome to, there will be mailbox-type donation boxes at almost each corner and a gingerbread house where donations can be dropped, Rocchi said. “I feel like the community is really going love it,” Rochhi said.

Mandates drive up vaccinations at colleges, despite leniency By John Seewer Associated Press Universities that adopted COVID-19 vaccine mandates this fall have seen widespread compliance even though many schools made it easy to get out of the shots by granting exemptions to nearly any student who requested one. Facing pockets of resistance and scattered lawsuits, colleges have tread carefully because forcing students to get the vaccine when they have a religious or medical objection could put schools into tricky legal territory. For some, there are added concerns that taking a hard line could lead to a drop in enrollment. Still, universities with mandates report much higher vaccination rates than communities around them, even in places with high vaccine hesitancy. Some universities have seen nearly complete compliance, including at state ﬂagship schools in Maryland, Illinois and Washington, helping them avoid large outbreaks like those that disrupted classes a year ago. Since announcing its mandate two months ago, Ohio University students and employees who reported being vaccinated at its Athens campus shot up from 69% to almost 85%. “Educating and encouraging was only getting us so far,” said Gillian Ice, a professor of social Joe Maiorana | AP file A historical marker stands near the gate at the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio. Universities that adopted COVID-19 vaccine mandates this fall of 2021, have seen widespread compliance. That’s true even though many schools made it easy to get out of the shots by granting exemptions to nearly any student who requested one. medicine who is overseeing the school’s pandemic response. “We had a lot who were on the fence. They weren’t necessarily anti-vaccine. They didn’t think they were high risk.” School administrators are watching closely to see how the mandate affects enrollment, she said. Some students are likely to transfer, but there’s also a less vocal group who support the requirement and would not have come to campus without it, Ice said. At least 1,100 colleges and universities now require proof of COVID-19 vaccines, according to tracking by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Some schools told students last spring they would need to be vaccinated before returning to campus this fall. Others held off on making the shots a requirement until the Food and Drug Administration gave full approval to Pﬁzer’s COVID-19 vaccine in August. Many other universities don’t have vaccine requirements for anyone on campus. In some cases, political leaders have blocked universities from issuing mandates. Just about every university with a vaccine requirement allows students and employees to ask for a medical or religious exemption. than 100 food banks associated with Feeding America, said canned foods from Asia— such as fruit cocktail, pears and From page 1 mandarin oranges— have been cost of milk, citrus, spinach and stuck overseas because of a lack of shipping container space. chicken so high.
