The Racine American Legion and all veterans in attendance were welcomed by Jr./Sr. High School Principal Daniel Otto. Southern High School Band, under the direction of Chad Dodson and David Maxson, performed the National Anthem. Weston Smith, Student Council president, led the Pledge of Allegiance.

There are 45 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 16, 1914, the newly created Federal Reserve Banks opened in 12 cities. On this date: In 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state of the union. In 1945, “The Friendly Ghost,” an animated short featuring the debut of Casper, was released by Paramount’s cartoon division. In 1961, House Speaker Samuel T. Rayburn died in Bonham, Texas, having served as speaker since 1940 except for two terms. In 1981, the Senate confirmed Dr. C. Everett Koop to be surgeon general. Oscar-winning actor William Holden, 63, was found dead in his Santa Monica, California, apartment. In 1982, an agreement was announced in the 57th day of a strike by National Football League players. In 1989, six Jesuit priests, a housekeeper and her daughter were slain by army troops at the University of Central America Jose Simeon Canas in El Salvador. In 1991, former Louisiana governor Edwin Edwards won a landslide victory in his bid to return to office, defeating State Rep. David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan leader. In 2001, investigators found a letter addressed to Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., containing anthrax; it was the second letter bearing the deadly germ known to have been sent to Capitol Hill. In 2004, President George W. Bush picked National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to be his new secretary of state, succeeding Colin Powell. In 2006, Democrats embraced Nancy Pelosi as the first female House speaker in history, but then selected Steny Hoyer as majority leader against her wishes. In 2018, a U.S. official said intelligence officials had concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi (jah-MAHL’ khahrSHOHK’-jee). Ten years ago: President Barack Obama, visiting Canberra, said he would send military aircraft and up to 2,500 Marines to northern Australia for a training hub to help allies and protect American interests across Asia. Five years ago: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, addressing a U.N. conference in Morocco, made a stirring appeal to all countries — including his own — to press ahead with the fight against climate change, saying a failure to do so would be a “betrayal of devastating consequences.” Former congressman and defense secretary Melvin Laird, 94, died in Fort Myers, Florida. One year ago: President-elect Joe Biden warned of dire consequences if President Donald Trump and his administration continued to refuse to coordinate with his transition team on the coronavirus pandemic and kept blocking briefings on national security policy issues and vaccine plans; Biden told reporters, “More people may die if we don’t coordinate.” CONTACT US 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2021 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition.

Biden signs $1T infrastructure bill with bipartisan audience By Josh Boak Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden signed his $1 trillion infrastructure deal into law Monday on the White House lawn, hailing it as an example of what bipartisanship can achieve. The president hopes to use the law to build back his popularity and says it will deliver jobs, clean water, high-speed internet and a clean energy future. Support for Biden has taken a hit amid rising inflation and the inability to fully shake the public health and economic risks from COVID-19. A smattering of Republican lawmakers were on hand for what might be one the last celebratory displays of bipartisanship ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. “My message to the American people is this: America is moving again and your life is going to change for the better,” Biden said. With the bipartisan deal, the president had to choose between his promise of fostering national unity and a commitment to transformative change. The final measure whittled down much of his initial vision to invest in roads, bridges, water systems, broadband, ports, electric vehicles and the power grid. Yet the administration hopes to sell the new law as a success that bridged partisan divides and will elevate the country with clean drinking water, high-speed internet and a shift away from fossil fuels. “Too often in Washington – the reason we don’t get things done is because we insist on getting everything we want,” Biden said in his prepared remarks. “With this law, we focused on getting things done. I ran for president because the only way to move our country forward is through compromise and consensus.” Biden will get outside Washington to sell the plan more broadly in coming days. He intends go to New Hampshire on Tuesday to visit a bridge on the state’s “red list” for repair, and he will go to Detroit on Wednesday for a stop at General Motors’ electric vehicle assembly plant, while other officials also fan out across the country. The president went to the Port of Baltimore last week to highlight how the supply chain investments from the law could limit inflation and strengthen supply chains, a key concern of voters who are dealing with higher prices. “We see this as is an opportunity because we know that the president’s agenda is quite popular,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday before the signing. The outreach to voters can move “beyond the legislative process to talk about how this is going to help them. And we’re hoping that’s going to have an impact.” Biden held off on signing the hard-fought infrastructure deal after it passed on Nov. 5 until legislators would be back from a congressional recess and could join in a splashy bipartisan event. On Sunday night before the signing, the White House announced Mitch Landrieu, the former New Orleans mayor, would help manage and coordinate the implementation of the infrastructure spending. The gathering Monday on the White House lawn was uniquely celebratory with an upbeat brass band and peppy speeches, a contrast to the drama and tensions when the fate of the package was in doubt for several months. �Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, November 16, 2021 3 We make your car dreams come true 2021 GMC SIERRA 1500 ELEVATION $ 50,773 2020 RAM 2500 TRADESMAN $ 43,136 2020 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE LT 1LT $ 37,492 2020 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT $ 37,994 2020 JEEP GLADIATOR SPORT $ 43,553 2020 CHEVEROLET TRAVERSE LT 1LT $ 37,491 2020 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE PLUS $ 27,501 2019 GMC ACADIA SLT-1 $ 30,995 2019 RAM 2500 TRADESMAN $ 51,983 $ $ 32,535 2018 RAM 2500 TRADESMAN $ 40,289 2019 RAM 1500 BIGHORN/LONESTAR 40,205 2019 RAM CLASSIC EXPRESS 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SPORT $ 31,876 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT LT2 $ 37,499 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED $ 31,600 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED $ 34,305 2018 FORD EXPLORER XLT $ 31,249 2018 JEEP COMPASS SPORT $ 18,505 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE TRAILHAWK $ 21,303 2017 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT $ 29,863 2017 FORD EXPLORER XLT $ 28,000 2017 RAM 1500 SPORT $ 30,495 2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO $ 20,311 2016 RAM 1500 LARAMIE LONGHORN $ 34,449 2016 RAM 1500 BIGHORN $ 28,314 2014 FORD ESCAPE SE $ 11,499 2014 HONDA CR-V EX-L $ 17,614 2014 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED BUY 3 TIRES GET THE 4TH FOR $1 EXPIRES 11/30/21 $ 14,585 2014 BUICK VERANO LEATHER GROUP SYNTHETIC BLEND $ 14,989 FULL SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE DIESEL OIL CHANGE + + MULTI-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION ONE PACKAGE FOR THREE PACKAGE FOR $29.95* $70** EXPIRES 12/31/21 MULTI-POINT VEHICLE INSPECTION ONE PACKAGE FOR THREE PACKAGE FOR $109.95* $351** EXPIRES 12/31/21 MARK PORTER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM භ MARKPORTERCDJR.COM 41300 LAUREL CLIFF RD, POMEROY, OH 45769 භ SALES: (740) 618-8296 DISCLAIMER: While we make every effort to ensure the data listed here is correct, there may be instances where some of the factory rebates, incentives, options or vehicle features may be listed incorrectly as we get data from multiple data sources.

See KNIGHTS | 7 Rio Grande women clobber UC-Clermont RedStorm beat the Cougars 99-47 By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Friday night’s game between the University of Rio Grande and the University of CincinnatiClermont may have been 40 minutes in length from start to finish, but it didn’t take nearly that long to decide the final outcome. The host RedStorm bolted to a 14-0 first quarter lead and never looked back, hammering the Cougars, 99-47, in the women’s division of the 39th Annual Bevo Francis Invitational Tournament at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande remained unbeaten in six outings with the victory. UC-Clermont slipped to 2-2 with the loss. The Cougars missed their first nine shots in the game and trailed 14-0 by the time Tyra Murphy connected on a jump shot with 4:31 left in the opening stanza. Rio’s lead grew to 19 points by the end of the period, to 26 by halftime, to 40 at the close of the third quarter and to as many as 54 points late in contest before settling on the 52-point final margin of victory. The RedStorm shot 48 percent from the floor for the game (39-for-81), while going 17-for-21 at the foul line (81%) and finishing with an amazing 70-27 edge in rebounding — a figure which is believed to be a single-game record for the program. UC-Clermont shot better than 30 percent in just one quarter and finished the game at 25 percent overall (17-for-68). All 14 players who dressed for the game scored at least one point for head coach David Smalley’s club, with junior Hailey Jordan (Columbus, OH) leading the way at 24 points. She also pulled down 10 rebounds. Senior Avery Harper (Seaman, OH) netted 12 points, including the 1,00th point of her career late in the third quarter, while freshman Harlei Antritt (Newark, OH) tallied a career-best 10 points — eight of which came in the final period. Junior Ella Skeens (Chillicothe, OH) and freshman Jocelyn Abraham (Exchange, WV) yanked down a game-high 11 rebounds each in the winning effort, setting a single-game high for Skeens and tying Abraham’s top single-game mark. Freshman Kaylee Darnell (Wheelersburg, OH) handed out a game-best six assists for Rio in the victory. She also had nine points, six rebounds and a pair of steals in just 18 minutes of action. The Cougars were led by Maria Velazco, who netted 14 points and handed out four assists off the bench, and Anna Voskuhl, who tossed in 11 points in a losing cause. Tyra Murphy and Victoria Brooks, who represented Clermont’s leading scorers entering the game at 21.3 and 17.3 points per game, respectively, finished with seven and three points, respectively. The duo went a combined 4-for-23 from the field. Murphy also had a team-best eight rebounds and three steals for the Cougars. Voskuhl blocked a pair of shots.

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Brooks Pearson (15) picks up yardage during a first half carry Saturday in a Class AA opening round playoff game against Bluefield at OVB Field in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Beavers knock off Point Pleasant, 44-20 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Big Blacks came out swinging and landed an early punch. The Beavers retaliated by taking the ball away a few times before delivering the knockout blow. Visiting Bluefield forced two first half turnovers that turned into 10 points, allowing the 14th-seeded Beavers to turn an early 7-0 deficit into 30 consecutive points before cruising to a 44-20 victory over third-seeded Point Pleasant on Saturday afternoon in a Class AA opening round playoff contest at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field. The Big Blacks (9-2) took the opening possession and marched 48 yards in six plays, which ended with a 22-yard scamper by Gavin Jeffers that gave the hosts a 7-0 lead at the 8:50 mark of the opening frame. The Beavers followed with a 3-and-out punt that pinned PPHS inside its own five, then Evan Roach had a pass batted up in the air on the ensuing drive. The ball came down into the hands of BHS lineman Dwight Fuller, giving the guests the ball at the Point 14. Bluefield — which did not have a first down in the first stanza — managed only four yards and had to settle for a 27-yard field goal off the foot of Jackson Wills, making it a 7-3 contest with 4:09 remaining. The score remained that way headed into the second frame. Point Pleasant ultimately came up empty on a 14-play drive that went into the second period as Alex Shrader missed a 29-yard field goal, giving BHS the ball back with 9:13 left in the half. The Beavers covered 80 yards in 11 plays as Ryker Brown capped things with a 1-yard run at the 4:58 mark, giving the guests a permanent lead of 10-7. Two plays into the ensuing drive, Jacorian Green recovered a fumble for Bluefield at the PPHS 39. The guests needed just five plays to cover the distance as Brown plunged in from a yard with 3:13 remaining for a 17-7 advantage. Point Pleasant’s only punt of the game followed on the ensuing drive, allowing BHS to retain possession with just 61 seconds left in the half. Amir Hairston, however, took the first snap and rumbled 82 yards to the house, giving the Beavers a commanding 24-7 cushion with 47.2 seconds left until halftime. The consecutive point total reached 30 on the first play of the second half as Brown found Jaeon Flack with a 54-yard scoring pass 16 seconds into the third canto, making it a 30-7 contest. The Big Blacks countered with a 10-play, 59-yard drive that ended with an 8-yard touchdown run by Evan Roach at the 7:17 mark for a 30-14 deficit. After forcing a punt, Point Pleasant again put together an offensive surge as the hosts marched 35 yards in six plays — with Roach capping things off with a 4-yard scramble for a 30-20 contest with 2:55 left in the third. The hosts, however, were never closer the rest of the way, and the Beavers were back on the board two plays into the finale as Brown found Green with a 53-yard scoring pass for a 37-20 advantage with 11:29 left. Hairston tacked on a 12-yard run with 4:04 remaining to complete the 24-point outcome. It was a bittersweet moment for PPHS coach David Darst afterwards, watching a tremendous season with nine straight wins come to an end. But, through all of it, the 15th-year mentor couldn’t have been more proud of his troops — particularly against an opponent such as this. “I’m really proud of our kids. From where we started at the beginning of the year and looking at how we finished up today against a team that potentially could win the state title, I’m just really proud of the progress that we’ve made and what we’ve accomplished,” Darst said. “These guys have developed a never-quit attitude and it certainly showed itself today. We had some chances to keep this thing a little more interesting than it already was, but those turnovers ultimately came back to bite us. Bluefield took momentum from those mistakes and we paid for it. “I feel for my seniors because they left it on the field today. They can also take a lot of pride in knowing that they brought a postseason home game back to this program for the first time since they were freshmen. They’ve really helped us build some momentum for the program moving forward, so they should take a lot of pride in that.” Bluefield — which has now five straight decisions over Point Pleasant — improved to 5-1 alltime against the Big Blacks and advances to face sixth-seeded North Marion in the quarterfinals. The Beavers outgained the hosts by a 388-271 overall margin that included a 175-9 advantage through the air. PPHS — which outrushed the guests by a 262-213 clip — did claim an 18-16 edge in first downs. There were only three punts in the game, two of which belonged to Bluefield.

The bad news is that the Marshall football team lost 21-14 at home Saturday afternoon against the University of Alabama-Birmingham Blazers. The good news is the Thundering Herd is still in the hunt for the Conference USA East Division crown. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers currently hold the top spot in the division with a conference record of 5-1, but Marshall (6-4, 4-2 CUSA East) will have a shot at the Hilltoppers in the last week of the regular season. Saturday’s game also had the distinction of taking place a day before the 51st anniversary of the Marshall plane crash, dubbed as the ‘75 Game’ by fans, named for the 75 people who perished that night. This was the first time the Herd lost the 75 Game since the 2011 season, a 59-17 road loss to Tulsa. The Blazers (7-3, 5-1 CUSA West) hit the ground running on the first drive of the game, with the passing offense carving up the Marshall defense. The drive was capped off by running back DeWayne McBride run- Colton Jeffries | OVP Sports Marshall linebacker Charlie Gray (1) gets in the face of UAB quarterback Dylan Hopkins (9) during the Blazers first drive during a football game Saturday afternoon in Huntington, W.Va. ning the ball in from the 3-yard line for a touchdown. On the other side of the football, the Marshall offense had trouble getting things going, not getting much yardage on the ground or through the air. The Blazers got their second touchdown with a minute to go in the first quarter when McBride ran the ball in from 15 yards. Desperate for some offense, the Green and White found their chance on their last drive of the half. Quarterback Grant Wells found wide receiver Jayden Harrison on a 36-yard pass to cut the UAB lead by half. Marshall tied the game with four minutes to go in the third when Wells connected with Corey Gammage for 17-yards. However, the Blazers took the lead back the very next drive when quarterback Dylan Hopkins punched the ball in from the 1-yard line. Facing a loss, the Thundering Herd had one last chance with three minutes to go in the fourth quarter, but a Wells pass was intercepted with 90 seconds to go, sealing the victory for UAB. Wells was the only quarterback under center for the Herd, recording a stat line of 22 completions on 39 attempts for 232 yards. Likewise, Hopkins was the only passer for the Blazers with a stat line of 13-18 for 250 yards. On the ground, Marshall was led by Rasheen Ali, who had 41 yards on 16 carries. On the Blazers’ side, McBride led the ground attack with 108 yards on 25 rushes. In receiving, Gammage led Marshall with 67 yards on eight catches, while the Blazers had a pair of 100-yard receivers in Trea Shropshire and Gerrit Prince. The Thundering Herd will be back in action at 3:30 p.m. Saturday when they travel to face the Charlotte 49ers. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Rio Grande shot just 29.6 percent in the first half (8-for-27) and only 33.9 percent for the game (19for-56). The RedStorm also committed a season-high 14 turnovers in the loss. Tadic had 18 points to lead Rio, while freshman Khamani Smith (Fort Wayne, IN) had 10 points. Blevins did have a team-best eight rebounds and a game-high three assists, but was limited to just six points — his lowest total since netting the same figure against IU Southeast on Feb. 22 last season and nine points below his season average entering the game.

Bannon has surrendered to federal authorities to face contempt charges after defying a subpoena from a House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Bannon was taken into custody Monday morning. in weekly with court officials and ordered him to surrender his passport. If convicted, Bannon faces a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year behind bars on each count, prosecutors said. Outside the courthouse, a large inflatable rat made to look like Republican former President Donald Trump was on the sidewalk as a crowd waited for Bannon to leave. Some in the crowd shouted expletives at him and called him a traitor, and one man paraded around with a sign that read: “Clowns are not above the law.” The indictment came as a second expected witness, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, defied a separate subpoena from the committee on Friday and as Trump has escalated his legal battles to withhold documents and testimony about the insurrection. Bannon and Meadows are key witnesses for the committee because they both were in close touch with Trump around the time of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. If the House votes to hold Meadows in contempt, that recommendation would also be sent to the Justice Department for a possible indictment. Meadows was Trump’s top aide at the end of his presidency and was one of several people who pressured state officials to try and overturn the (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN results of the 2020 election won by Democrat Biden. Bannon promoted the Jan. 6 protests on his podcast after predicting the day before that “all hell is going to break loose.” The committee said that Bannon urged Trump to focus on the congressional certification and was present at an event at the Willard Hotel on Jan. 5 in which Trump allies tried to persuade members of Congress to vote against the results. Bannon’s lawyer, David Schoen said his client didn’t appear before Congress because he was told by another lawyer not to come after Trump claimed executive privilege would apply. “Mr. Bannon is a lay person. When the privilege has been invoked by the purported holder of privilege, he has no choice but to withhold the documents. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle,” he said. “Mr. Bannon acted as his lawyer counseled him to do by not appearing and by not turning over documents in this case. He didn’t refuse to comply.” Schoen also decried the Justice Department’s decision to prosecute Bannon, claiming it runs counter to Attorney Gen- (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN ROGERS BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Media Sales Representative Wanted! 8QFRQGLWLRQDO /LIHWLPH *XDUDQWHH (VWDEOLVKHG ���� Legals Do you crave a fast-paced and exciting work environment?

Officials in both Democratic and Republican administrations have been held in contempt by Congress, but criminal indictments for contempt are exceedingly rare. The indictment against Bannon comes after a slew of Trump administration officials – including Bannon – defied requests and demands from Congress over the past five years with little consequence, including during an impeachment inquiry. President Barack Obama’s administration also declined to charge two of its officials who defied congressional demands. The indictment says Bannon didn’t communicate with the committee in any way from the time he received the subpoena on Sept. 24 until Oct. 7 when his lawyer sent a letter, seven hours after the documents were due. Bannon, who worked at the White House at the beginning of the Trump administration and currently serves as host of the conspiracy-minded “War Room” podcast, is a private citizen who “refused to appear to give testimony as required by a subpoena,” the indictment says.

Thomas Binger repeatedly showed the jury drone video that he said depicted Rittenhouse pointing the AR-style weapon at demonstrators. “This is the provocation. This is what starts this incident,” the prosecutor declared. Rittenhouse, now 18, killed two men and wounded a third during a tumultuous night of protests against racial injustice in the summer of 2020, in a case that has stirred bitter debate in the U.S. over guns, vigilantism and law and order. Rittenhouse, then 17, said he went to Kenosha from his home in nearby Antioch, Illinois, to pro- Sean Krajacic | The Kenosha News via AP, Pool Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger holds Kyle Rittenhouse’s gun as he gives the state’s closing argument in Rittenhouse’s trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis., on Monday. Rittenhouse is accused of killing two people and wounding a third during a protest over police brutality in Kenosha, last year. top murder charge. In his closing argument, Binger zeroed in on the killing of 36-yearold Joseph Rosenbaum, who was the first man gunned down that night and whose shooting set in motion the bloodshed that followed. The prosecutor repeatedly called it murder, saying it was unjustified. The prosecutor reminded jurors that Rittenhouse testified he knew Rosenbaum was unarmed. tect property from rioters in the days after a Black man, Jacob Blake, was shot by a white Kenosha police officer. Rittenhouse, a former police youth cadet, is white, as were those he shot. Rittenhouse testified he came under attack from protesters, feared his gun would be taken away and used against him, and acted in self-defense. But Binger told the jury: “You lose the right to self-defense when you’re the one who brought the gun, when you are the one creating the danger, when you’re the one provoking other people.” The defense was expected to deliver its closing argument in the afternoon.

Binger also said there is no video to support the defense claim that Rosenbaum threatened to kill Rittenhouse. Binger disputed the notion that Rosenbaum was trying to grab Rittenhouse’s rifle. “Mr. Rosenbaum is not even within arm’s reach when the first shot occurs,” Binger said. He rejected the idea that Rittenhouse had no choice but to shoot, saying he could have run away. And Binger argued that once Rosenbaum was wounded, he was not even capable of taking away the gun, which was strapped to Rittenhouse’s body, since he was falling to the ground with a fractured pelvis. Rittenhouse kept firing, delivering what the prosecutor called the “kill shot” to Rosenbaum’s back. “I think we can also agree that we shouldn’t have 17-year-olds running around our streets with AR-15s, because this is exactly what happens,” Binger said. After killing Rosenbaum, Rittenhouse shot and killed Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, while trying to make his way through the crowd. Rittenhouse testified that Huber hit him with a skateboard, and that Grosskreutz came at him with a gun of his own — an account largely corroborated by a wealth of video and some of the prosecution’s own witnesses. But Binger said Rittenhouse provoked the bloodshed that followed Rosenbaum’s shooting: Huber, Grosskreutz and others in the crowd were trying to stop what they believed was an active shooter, exercising their own right to self-defense. When it was all over, Rittenhouse walked away like a “hero in a Western — without a care in the world for anything he’s just done,” Binger said. When the prosecutor displayed a photograph of Rosenbaum’s bloodied body lying on a gurney during his autopsy and another of Rosenbaum’s mangled hand, some jurors appeared to avert their eyes from the TV monitors. And later, when Binger displayed a closeup photo of Grosskreutz’s bicep largely obliterated by a bullet through his arm, several jurors winced and turned away.
