IN BRIEF Charlie Hebdo terror attack suspects go on trial in Paris PARIS (AP) — Thirteen men and a woman went on trial Wednesday in the 2015 attacks against the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper and a kosher supermarket in Paris that marked the beginning of a wave of violence by the Islamic State group in Europe. Seventeen people and all three gunmen died during the three days of attacks in January 2015. Later that year, a separate network of French and Belgian ﬁghters for Islamic State struck Paris again, this time killing 130 people in attacks at the Bataclan concert hall, the national stadium, and in bars and restaurants. ‘Tiger King’ star Baskin to ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Like all cool cats and kittens, Carole Baskin is going to “Dancing With the Stars.” The reality TV star who became a pop culture sensation with Netﬂix’s docuseries “Tiger King” is joining the new crop of celebrity dancers that includes TV and ﬁlm actress Anne Heche, former NBA star Charles Oakley and Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean. The new season premieres on ABC on Sept. 14. On the Netﬂix series “Tiger King,” Baskin, who owns a big cat refuge, sought to shut down Joseph Maldonado-Passage’s for-proﬁt breeding of big cats. His nickname is “Joe Exotic” and her signature line is “cool cats and kittens.” Maldonado-Passage is serving a 22-year federal prison term for killing ﬁve tigers and plotting to have Baskin killed. In June, a federal judge awarded Baskin ownership of the private Oklahoma zoo run by Maldonado-Passage. France once again tops 7,000 daily virus cases PARIS (AP) — New daily coronavirus cases in France have tipped above 7,000 for the second time in ﬁve days.

Wednesday’s daily count put new cases at just over 7,000, still below Friday’s count of more than 7,300. Health ofﬁcials counted 43 new clusters in 24 hours. The ﬁgures remain well under those at the peak of the pandemic that forced France into a strict twomonth lockdown until mid-May.

Thursday, September 3, 2020 3 HEALTHY WORDS TO LIVE BY Information on concussions As fall sports kick off in our region, hot topics within sports medicine begin to resurface. One of the most discussed and studied subjects over the last decade is that of concussions. So, what do you need to know about them? A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that occurs when the brain makes contact with the inner surface of the skull. This trauma causes a disruption in the neurological function of the brain. This can be a result of a direct blow to the head or other external forces such as whip lash. As an example, imagine the yolk within an eggshell. If you shake that egg, the yolk will slosh back and forth causing contact with the inner surface of the shell. This is similar to force that the brain experiences within the skull. Symptoms Concussions and their symptoms vary based on the mechanism of injury and the area of the brain affected. Common symptoms include but are not limited to: - Headache - Disorientation/ confusion - Decreased balance - Memory Loss It is important to - Visual disturnote that diagnosbances tic imaging such as - Slurred speech an MRI or CT scan - Sensitivity to are used to rule out light brain bleeds and - Nausea/Vomitswelling.

Despite what many protective equipment companies try to market, there is currently no device that will 100% prevent a concussion. So, it is imperative that athletes in contact sports train properly in technique to help reduce the likelihood of a concussion. Overall, the best means of prevention is awareness and knowledge of the risks of concussions and their appropriate treatment. This piece submitted by Pleasant Valley Hospital.

There are 119 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Sept. 3, 2005, President George W. Bush ordered more than 7,000 active duty forces to the Gulf Coast as his administration intensiﬁed efforts to rescue Katrina survivors and send aid to the hurricane-ravaged region in the face of criticism it did not act quickly enough. On this date In 1609, English explorer Henry Hudson and his crew aboard the Half Moon entered present-day New York Harbor and began sailing up the river that now bears his name. (They reached present-day Albany before turning back.) In 1861, during the Civil War, Confederate forces invaded the border state of Kentucky, which had declared its neutrality in the conﬂict. In 1939, Britain, France, Austra- lia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland; in a radio address, Britain’s King George VI said, “With God’s help, we shall prevail.” The same day, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner SS Athenia some 250 miles off the Irish coast, killing more than 100 out of the 1,400 or so people on board. In 1943, Allied forces invaded Italy during World War II, the same day Italian ofﬁcials signed a secret armistice with the Allies. In 1967, Nguyen Van Thieu (nwen van too) was elected president of South Vietnam under a new constitution. In 1970, legendary football coach Vince Lombardi, 57, died in Washington, D.C. In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the ﬁrst close-up, color photographs of the red planet’s surface.

In 1995, the online auction site eBay was founded in San Jose, Cal- ifornia, by Pierre Omidyar under the name “AuctionWeb.” In 1999, a French judge closed a two-year inquiry into the car crash that killed Princess Diana, dismissing all charges against nine photographers and a press motorcyclist, and concluding the accident was caused by an inebriated driver. In 2003, Paul Hill, a former minister who said he murdered an abortion doctor and his bodyguard to save the lives of unborn babies, was executed in Florida by injection, becoming the ﬁrst person put to death in the United States for anti-abortion violence. In 2012, Sun Myung Moon, 92, a self-proclaimed messiah who founded the Uniﬁcation Church, died in Gapeyeong, South Korea. Proliﬁc character actor Michael Clarke Duncan, 54, died in Los Angeles. Ten years ago: Defense Secretary Robert Gates toured U.S. bases and war zones in Afghanistan, saying he saw and heard evidence that the American counterinsurgency strategy was taking hold in critical Kandahar province. �NEWS 4 Thursday, September 3, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Biden: Trump ignores pandemic, stokes unrest By Bill Barrow and Will Weissert be focused on — getting our kids back to school.

The 14-team league is within the footprint of the SEC, Big 12 and ACC. Like those Power Five leagues that play in the same region, C-USA is planning to be on the ﬁeld this fall. Still, things got shaken up even after C-USA decided to keep its original eight-game league schedule intact, and allow schools to play up to four non-conference games as normal. Old Dominion decided last month to not play fall sports amid COVID19, costing a conference game for every C-USA team in the East Division and two in the West. There were also many games lost with the remaining Power Five conferences (Big Eagles From page 5 Newland with 15 points and ﬁve aces. Olivia Barber was next with eight points and two aces, while Jenna Chadwell chipped in four points and one ace. Megan Maxon added three service points, with Juli Durst and Alisa Ord each providing one point. Maxon led the net attack with eight kills, with Barber Ten, Pac-12) and two Group of Five leagues (MAC, Mountain West) opting to shelve football this fall. C-USA favorite UAB’s season-opening home game Thursday night will be played only about two weeks after being scheduled. Central Arkansas, an FCS team playing a non-conference schedule even after the Southland Conference postponed all its league games this fall, won the ﬁrst college game played in this pandemic-altered season over the weekend. “With everything going on, you never really know if it could be your last game, or if you could miss a few games, especially with COVID19 and everything else going on in the world,” UAB senior left tackle Colby Ragland said. “It is easy to lose focus of being on the football team and the goal of going out there and and UTEP have ﬁlled out full 12-game schedules.

The Hilltoppers ﬁnished with a four-game winning streak that included a 45-19 win at SEC team Arkansas and the First Responder Bowl over Western Michigan.

The hard-charging columns by de Souza often elicited angry — and unprintable — letters to the editor and web comments. One reader was so furious they used an ice cream store’s sign to direct a public expletive at him in the mid-2000s. Taking it all in stride was de Souza, 70, a native of Uganda who earned a journalism degree at Kansas State University, worked for the Selma (Alabama) Times Journal and earned a political science mas- Record on Mulberry Avenue in Pomeroy where he was subsequently arrested for the alleged domesFrom page 1 tic violence complaint.

Three TV stations still cover the area, along with the Tribune-Chronicle, the Youngstown Business Journal, and Mahoning Matters, a McClatchy and Google news initiative. Though de Souza’s columns reﬂect the past, their subject matter is evergreen, said the book’s editor, Cynthia Rickard, de Souza’s ex-wife and a longtime Vindicator reporter and editor. “Going through these columns was not just a look back into history but an eye-opener that we are still going through these same issues today,” Rickard said. the male subject gathered some belongings and left the residence.

Traﬁcant died in 2014 after a tractor accident on his farm. In 1998, de Souza called Traﬁcant’s hiring of a economic development specialist with questionable qualiﬁcations, “tantamount to letting a butcher perform surgery.” The book is history told by commentary, said Robert McFerren, the paper’s former art director and the book’s designer. “We can’t let this just be forgotten,” he said. “It needs to be remembered in the long residence on Howell Hill Road to assist EMS with a male subject thinking about suicide.

In a 1998 column, de Souza mocked an apparent mob warning to a county prosecutor to keep his mouth shut, delivered in the form of a dead ﬁnch. “It’s supposed to be a canary, stupid,” de Souza wrote. In a 2005 piece, as gang violence rocked the city, he suggested sending gang members convicted of gun crimes to Iraq for two years. “That should be enough time for the cretin to either get killed, injured or to ﬁnd God.

He said the book celebrates the support that reporters received from the family-owned paper, no matter how rocky the going got. With the help of former colleagues, de Souza winnowed about 1,600 columns down to about 300 that appear in the book. “The columns reﬂect the commitment of this family to really watchdog journalism, to trail-blazing journalism,” de Souza said. “They gave me free reign to write whatever I wanted to write.” Vindicator publisher Betty Brown Jagnow and her son, Mark Brown, the general manager, announced in June 2019 that The Vindicator would cease publication because of ﬁnancial losses.
