JOYCE MILLER HIAWASEE, Georgia — A memorial and interment with full military honors for Major E. Joyce Miller, US Army Retired was held at Arlington National Cemetery on Friday, August 7, 2020. Major Miller of Hiawasee, Georgia passed away on February 8, 2019 at Union County Hospital, Blairsville, Georgia, after a short illness. Joyce was born in Chauncey to Ronald L. and Juanita M. (Peters) Miller on May 2, 1931. She graduated from Middleport High School in 1949. While a senior, she read Sally Joins the WAC which inﬂuenced her to join the US Army following graduation. After basic training she was stationed at Fort Jay, New York and from there she was assigned to Heidelburg, Germany. She returned to civilian life in 1953 to attend San Diego University and the School of Art Design in Dayton. Joyce rejoined the army, attended dental technician school at Fort Sam Houston, Texas and after graduation served as a dental technician instructor. While at Fort Sam Houston, she competed with male and female soldiers for the 4th Army’s Soldier of the year, which she won. She has the dis- tinction of being the ﬁrst female to receive this award.

There are 110 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history On Sept. 12, 1962, in a speech at Rice University in Houston, President John F. Kennedy reafﬁrmed his support for the manned space program, declaring: “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” On this date In 1913, Olympic legend Jesse Owens was born in Oakville, Ala. In 1942, during World War II, a German U-boat off West Africa torpedoed the RMS Laconia, which was carrying Italian prisoners of war, British soldiers and civilians; it’s estimated more than 1,600 people died while some 1,100 survived after the ship sank. The German crew, joined by other U-boats, began rescue operations. (On September 16, the rescue effort came to an abrupt halt when the Germans were attacked by a U.S. Army bomber; as a result, U-boat commanders were ordered to no longer rescue civilian survivors of submarine attacks.) In 1958, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Cooper v. Aaron, unanimously ruled that Arkansas ofﬁcials who were resisting public school desegregation orders could not disregard the high court’s rulings. In 1977, South African Black student leader and anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko (BEE’koh), 30, died while in police custody, triggering an international outcry. In 1987, reports surfaced that Democratic presidential candidate Joseph Biden had borrowed, without attribution, passages of a speech by British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock (KIHN’-ik) for one of his own campaign speeches. (The Kinnock report, along with other damaging revelations, prompted Biden to drop his White House bid.) In 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour blasted off, carrying with it Mark Lee and Jan Davis, the ﬁrst married couple in space; Mae Jemison, the ﬁrst Black woman in space; and Mamoru Mohri, the ﬁrst Japanese national to ﬂy on a U.S. spaceship. Police in Peru captured Shining Path founder Abimael Guzman. Actor Anthony Perkins died in Hollywood at age 60. In 1994, a stolen, singleengine Cessna crashed into the South Lawn of the White House, coming to rest against the executive mansion; the pilot, Frank Corder, was killed. In 2001, stunned rescue workers continued to search for bodies in the World Trade Center’s smoking rubble a day after a terrorist attack that shut down the ﬁnancial capital, badly damaged the Pentagon and left thousands dead. President Bush, branding the attacks in New York and Washington ``acts of war,” said “this will be a monumental struggle of good versus evil” and that “good will prevail.” In 2003, in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, U.S. forces mistakenly opened ﬁre on vehicles carrying police, killing eight of them. In 2005, at the start of his conﬁrmation hearing, Supreme Court nominee John Roberts pledged to judge with humility and “without fear or favor” if approved as the nation’s 17th chief justice. In 2008, a Metrolink commuter train struck a freight train head-on in Los Angeles, killing 25 people. (Federal investigators said the Metrolink engineer, Robert Sanchez, who was among those who died, had been textmessaging on his cell phone and ran a red light shortly before the crash.) In 2012, the U.S. dispatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli, Libya, after the mob attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. President Barack Obama strongly condemned the violence, and vowed to bring the killers to justice; Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused the administration of showing weakness in the face of tumultuous events in the Middle East. Ten years ago: The United States won its ﬁrst world basketball championship since 1994, beating Turkey 81-64 in Istanbul behind a sensational performance from tournament MVP Kevin Durant, who scored 28 points. Lady Gaga swept the MTV Video Music Awards with eight wins, wearing a dress made of meat as she accepted the video of the year award for “Bad Romance.” Movie director Claude Chabrol, one of the founders of the French New Wave movement, died in Paris at age 80. Five years ago: Jeremy Corbyn, a veteran anti-war campaigner known for his unapologetically socialist views, won a landslide victory to lead Britain’s opposition Labor Party in one of the country’s biggest political shake-ups in decades. Flavia Pennetta defeated fellow Italian Roberta Vinci in straight sets, 7-6 (4), 6-2, to become the oldest ﬁrst-time women’s major champion in the Open era; the 33-year-old Pennetta then announced her retirement. Playwright Frank D. Gilroy (“The Subject Was Roses”) died in Monroe, New York, at age 89. One year ago: The Trump administration revoked a regulation from the Obama era that shielded many U.S. wetlands and streams from pollution; the regulation was opposed by developers and farmers who said it hurt economic development and infringed on property rights. The administration began enforcing radical new restrictions on who qualiﬁes for asylum; the new policy would effectively deny asylum to nearly all immigrants arriving at the southern border who aren’t from Mexico. Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax ﬁled a $400 million libel lawsuit against CBS after it aired interviews with two women who accused Fairfax of sexual assault more than 15 years earlier. (A judge tossed out the lawsuit ﬁve months later.) Update from highway dept. GALLIA COUNTY — Gallia County Engineer Brett A.

In addition, the university in April reﬁnanced bonds, saving the institution $1 million a year. University ofﬁcials said they do not think there will be a need this semester for any of the proposed Level 2 Reductions. If necessary, additional cuts for the spring semester could include some or all of the following: further campus-wide temporary salary reductions, reductions in administrative stipends, reduction of additional course sections, additional cuts to operating budgets and temporary work “furloughs” for employees. “Furloughs—if necessary based on reduced enrollment and revenue in the spring—would be one of the very last measures we would take,” said Gilbert. “My goal all along has been to protect and preserve the jobs of our permanent employees, and that remains my focus.” He closed by thanking the faculty and staff “for what you have done and will continue to do for the university’s students during the pandemic…this has been a period of extraordinary effort and I have been repeatedly astonished and gratiﬁed about what the Marshall community has accomplished throughout this crisis. It has been extremely difﬁcult on everyone, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.” Read the president’s entire message at www. marshall.edu/coronavirus.

Ohio Valley Publishing �NEWS 8 Saturday, September 12, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing US marks 9/11 anniversary at tributes shadowed by virus By Michael R. Sisak, Karen Matthews and Jennifer Peltz Associated Press NEW YORK — Americans commemorated 9/11 Friday as another national crisis reconﬁgured memorial ceremonies, dividing some victims’ families over coronavirus safety precautions, and a presidential campaign carved a path through the observances. In New York, victims’ relatives gathered Friday morning for split-screen remembrances at the World Trade Center’s Sept. 11 memorial plaza and on a nearby corner, set up by separate organizations. Standing on the plaza, with its serene waterfall pools and groves of trees, Jin Hee Cho said she couldn’t erase the memory of the death of her younger sister, Kyung, in the collapse of the trade center’s north tower. “It’s just hard to delete that in my mind. I understand there’s all this, and I understand now that we have even COVID,” said Cho, 55. “But I only feel the loss, the devastating loss of my ﬂesh-and-blood sister.” Around the country, some communities canceled 9/11 ceremonies, while others went ahead, sometimes with modiﬁcations. The Pentagon’s observance was so restricted that not even victims’ families could attend, though small groups could visit its memorial later in the day. On an anniversary that fell less than two months before the presidential election, President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden both headed for the Flight 93 National Memorial in the election battleground state of Pennsylvania — at different times of day. Biden also attended the ceremony at ground zero in New York, exchanging a pandemic-conscious elbow bump with Vice President Mike Pence before the observance began. In short, the 19th anniversary of the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil was a complicated occasion in a maelstrom of a year, as the U.S. grapples with a pandemic, searches its soul over racial injustice and prepares to choose a leader to chart a path forward. Still, families say it’s important for the nation to pause and remember the hijacked-plane attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people at the trade center, at the Pentagon outside Washington and in a ﬁeld near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 11, 2001 — shaping American policy, perceptions of safety and daily life in places from airports to ofﬁce buildings. “People could say, ‘Oh, 19 years.’ But I’ll always be doing something this day. It’s history,” said Annemarie D’Emic, who lost her brother Charles Heeran, a stock trader. She went to the alternative ceremony in New York, which kept up the longstanding tradition of in-person readers. Speaking at the Pennsylvania memorial, Trump recalled how the plane’s crew and passengers tried to storm the cockpit as the hijackers as headed for Washington. “The heroes of Flight 93 are an everlasting reminder that no matter the danger, no matter the threat, no matter the odds, America will always rise up, stand tall, and ﬁght back,” the Republican president said. Biden visited the memorial later Friday, laid a wreath and greeted relatives of victims including First Ofﬁcer LeRoy Homer. Biden expressed his respect for those aboard Flight 93, saying sacriﬁces like theirs “mark the character of a country.” “This is a country that never, never, never, never, never, never gives up,” he said. At the Sept. 11 memorial in New York hours earlier, Biden offered condolences to victims’ relatives including Amanda Barreto, 27, and 90-yearold Maria Fisher, empathizing with their loss of loved ones. Biden’s ﬁrst wife and their daughter died in a car crash, and his son Beau died of brain cancer. Biden didn’t speak at that ceremony, which has a longstanding custom of not allowing politicians to make remarks. Pence went on to the separate ceremony, organized by the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, where he read the Bible’s 23rd Psalm. His wife, Karen, read a passage from the Book of Ecclesiastes. “For the families of the lost and friends they left behind, I pray these ancient words will comfort your heart and others,” said the vice president, drawing applause from the audience of hundreds. Formed in honor of a ﬁreﬁghter killed on 9/11, the foundation felt in-person readers were crucial to the ceremony’s emotional impact and could recite names while keeping a safe distance. By contrast, recorded names emanated from Patrick Semansky | AP Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks with family members of victims of Flight 93 during a visit to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa., on Friday to commemorate the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Leaders said they wanted to keep readers and listeners from clustering at a stage. As in past years on the plaza, many readers at the alternative ceremony added poignant tributes to their loved ones’ character and heroism, urged the nation not to forget the attacks and recounted missed family milestones: “How I wish you could walk me down the aisle in just three weeks,” Kaitlyn Strada said of her father, Thomas, a bond broker. One reader thanked essential workers for helping New York City endure the pandemic, which has killed at least 24,000 people in the city and over 190,000 nationwide. Another reader, Catherine Hernandez, said she became a police ofﬁcer to honor her family’s loss. Other victims’ relatives, however, weren’t bothered by the switch to a recording at the ground zero ceremony. “I think it should evolve. It can’t just stay the same forever,” said Frank Dominguez, who lost his brother, Police Ofﬁcer Jerome Dominguez. Daily US virus deaths decline, but trend may reverse in fall By Carla K. Johnson and Nicky Forster Associated Press The number of daily U.S. deaths from the coronavirus is declining again after peaking in early August, but scientists warn that a new bout with the disease this fall could claim more lives. The arrival of cooler weather and the likeli- hood of more indoor gatherings will add to the importance of everyday safety precautions, experts say. “We have to change the way we live until we have In the response to the Pandemic Outbreak of COVID-19, Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services will make assistance available to families affected by this health crisis that have had an increase in their water consumptions and sewer usage due to school closure and families now working from home to help protect themselves and their families from being exposed to the COVID-19.

The U.S. has seen two distinct peaks in daily deaths. The nation’s summertime surge crested at about half the size of the ﬁrst deadly wave in April. Deaths ﬁrst peaked on April 24 at an average of 2,240 each day as the disease romped through the dense cities of the Northeast. Then, over the summer, outbreaks in Texas, California and Florida drove daily deaths to a second peak of 1,138 on Aug. 1. Some states — Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada and California — suffered more deaths during the summer wave than during their ﬁrst milder run-in with the virus in the spring. Others — Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Colorado — deﬁnitely saw two spikes in infections but suffered fewer deaths the second time around. Now about 700 Americans are dying of the virus each day. That’s down about 25% from two weeks ago but still not low enough to match the early July low of about 500 daily deaths, according to an Associated Press analysis of data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The number of people being treated for COVID19 in hospitals in the summertime hot spots of Florida and Texas has been on a steady downward trend since July. In Florida, the number of COVID-19 patients Thursday morning was less than 3,000 after peaking at more than 9,500 on July 23. Two weeks later, the state reached its highest seven-day average in daily reported deaths. In Texas, about 3,500 people were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Thursday, a measure that’s been improving since peaking July 22 at 10,893. Worryingly, a dozen states are bucking the national downward trend. Iowa, North Carolina, West Virginia and Kansas are among states still seeing increases in daily deaths, although none is anywhere near the death rates seen in the spring in the Northeast. Back then, the virus caught New York off guard and claimed 1,000 lives per day in that state alone, or ﬁve deaths per 100,000 people. “Often, it’s hard to understand the trends when looking at the whole country,” said Alison Hill, an infectious disease researcher at Harvard University. She noted that daily deaths are still rising in some metro areas, including Memphis, Sacramento, San Francisco and San Jose. “We’re at a really critical point right now,” Hill said. “Schools are reopening. The weather is getting colder, driving people indoors. All those things don’t bode particularly well.” What’s ahead may be worse because the virus is likely to have a seasonal swing similar to other respiratory illnesses, Mokdad agreed. “In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s hard to say we were lucky, but we were lucky that COVID-19 came at a time when seasonality was helping us,” he said. Similar fears grip Europe. The number of new conﬁrmed coronavirus cases spiked Friday in parts of eastern Europe, with Hungary and the Czech Republic registering all-time daily highs. Signs of the pandemic’s resurgence were also evident in Britain and the Netherlands. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said his government was drafting a “war plan” to defend against another wave of infection. Spain’s health minister pushed back against comments by President Donald Trump, who claimed Thursday that the United States had done “much better” than the European Union in ﬁghting the pandemic. “No one is in a position to give lessons, and with all due respect to the American nation, less so its current president,” Salvador Illa told Spanish public broadcaster TVE on Friday. “You have to be very careful when making international comparisons. Each country has its speciﬁcities when it comes to providing the data.” Scientists do not yet know how much credit, if any, to give to treatment improvements for the decline in daily U.S. deaths. Doctors now use drugs such as remdesivir and tricks such as ﬂipping patients from their backs to their stomachs. �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Saturday, September 12, 2020 9 By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane �� SH � � � � � � � � � ��&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� N SIG DE EERW N OW � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO Hank Ketcham’s ��&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � 150 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE ENJOYING A NEW SHOWER IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK FREE IN-HOME DESIGN CONSULTATION CALL TODAY *Offer valid only while supplies last.

Bulldogs widen TVC Ohio golf lead By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com JACKSON, Ohio — The Bulldogs suddenly have a lot extra chain to work with. The Athens golf team won its fourth consecutive Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division match and picked up plenty of unexpected breathing room in the season standings on Thursday during the fourth of seven league match at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County.

Lady Eagles fend off Southern By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — The Lady Eagles were consistent through four games, which was more than host Southern could say by night’s end. The Eastern volleyball team fended off a pair of hard-fought battles in the middle and ultimately claimed a 25-12, 25-20, 25-27, 25-14 victory over the Lady Tornadoes on Thursday night during a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup.

Her illusions/art work are featured in a soonto-be released children’s book. She also designs logos for businesses, produces commissioned works, has written a play and comic book, her own book is currently being reviewed by a publisher, and she is a vendor at the Meigs County Farmers Market. Always drawing and sketching for as long as her parents Sam and Stephanie Rife can remember, Halo began to focus on her art when she was 12. “I began to spend more time on my art,” Halo said. “And now it is something I do everyday.” Halo’s talent has caught both local and national attention. Author Ryan Cowen reached out to her from Los Angeles, Calif. earlier this spring while searching for an illustrator for his children’s book titled “Mr. Moonbeam.” After several attempts working with professional illustrators, he had not found one who could produce pieces that met what he had envisioned. After seeing her illustrations online, Cowen contacted her about a possible collaboration. According to Halo’s mother, Cowen told Halo she was the ﬁrst one to capture what was in his mind. Originally from Middleport, Ohio, Cowen came back for the summer and spent hours with Halo developing the art for the book. When asked about her ﬁrst experience working with an author and trying to bring the characters to Photos by Phoebe Rife | Courtesy Pictured is local artist Halo Rife hard at work and wearing her design for a t-shirt from River Roaster’s Coffee Company in Pomeroy. willing to accept the challenge.” Both the Board and customers at the Market have been pleased with the decision. She uses her space to display and sell her art, and also meets clients for her latest project, commissioned art. Using photos of business, historic properties, and private residences, Halo turns the photos into her vision of the structures. Halo has an innate business sense, which is shown in the way she manages her time. The demand for these commissioned works is considerable, and she only accepts a limited number of orders. “I enjoy the commissioned pieces,” Halo said. “But I don’t want to accept more work than I can produce, so I limit the requests rather than have people waiting on their orders, and I want to have time for my other projects.” Her work can also been seen on River Roaster’s Coffee Company t-shirts. This Pomeroy business decided to do a series each year of limited edition shirts, and Halo was selected as their ﬁrst artist to design the image. Her art is also prominent on a logo she created for Second Avenue Candles in Middleport. Halo seems to be getting attention from other illustrators as well, including Kevin Morgan, who is perhaps best know for his designs for the Ohio Paw Paw Festival. Morgan has publicly commented on her talent several times, encouragement for the young artist. Also in the works is her ﬁrst book, currently with a publisher for review. In the meantime, she is re-editing the book and deciding on a title. She has also written and illustrated a comic book, or graphic novel, but said that project is on hold at the moment. A play based on “Alice in Wonderland” is ready for production, and Halo said she hopes to see it come alive onstage in the near future. Halo has always been homed schooled, and her mother said this has given her an opportunity to focus on her art. Stephanie said each parent makes a decision as to what type of education is best for their children, and her’s was to home school. “When we decided this would be best for our Halo Rife | Courtesy children, we believed it Halo Rife’s work will appear in the upcoming “Mr. Moonbeam” would give each of them children’s book. life, she said she enjoyed the experience and learned a lot. “I would sketch, show it to him, we would go back and forth, until I got it right. It was a series of doing it over again and again, each time getting closer. I really enjoyed the process.” The book is scheduled for release in October, and Cowen plans to return to the area for a book signing with Halo. Looking for an outlet to feature her work, she became a vendor at the Meigs County Farmers Market in Pomeroy this spring. This was no small accomplishment, as the selection process has standards that must be met before the application can be presented to the Market board. Her ﬁrst hurdle was her age; vendors under 18 are not usually accepted, but with everything else in order, the Market welcomed her as their youngest member. Her parents are on the board, but quickly pointed out they excused themselves from the decision, citing conﬂict of interest. “We didn’t want her to get approval because we were on the Board, if she was accepted we wanted it to be on her own merits,” Stephanie said. “And if she became a vendor, it would be her responsibility to maintain her booth, we advised her she would have the same expectations and obligations as the adults, and she said she understood and was Photos by Halo Rife | Courtesy Assorted work by Halo Rife includes her interprestations of Bob Dylan, as well as Pomeroy’s Front Paige Outfitters and the Meigs County Courthouse. creative space, more opportunity to ﬁnd their passion. There are so many misconceptions about home schooling, so sometimes it is difﬁcult for other parents to understand how children can get all they need from a home school environment. When I see Halo’s maturity in her art and her business skills, I feel we made the right decision.” Halo said one of her biggest challenges is pricing her work. “Most of the time, when I’m at the market, my pieces aren’t priced, mainly because I don’t like writing prices on the art and the tags fall off in the constant travel. So, everyone who stops by has to ask the prices...

Democrat Kevin Van Ausdal bowed out of the race for “personal and family reasons,” his campaign manager Vinny Olsziewski told The Associated Press. Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs said Friday that the window has passed for Democrats to replace Van Ausdal on the ballot, likely sealing a win for the already-favored Marjorie Taylor Greene. Van Ausdal faced long odds in Georgia’s deep-red 14th Congressional District. Greene has become notorious for her remarks about minorities and ethnic groups. In a series of videos unearthed in June, she alleges an “Islamic invasion” of government ofﬁces, claims Black and Hispanic men are held back by “gangs and dealing drugs,” and pushes an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that billionaire philanthropist George Soros, who is Jewish, collaborated with the Nazis. illuminate your walking path consider placing additional lights in specific areas.

Hungary reported 718 virus cases on Friday, 142 more than the country’s previous 24-hour record. The Czech Republic reported 1,382 cases, which was over 200 more than its previous daily high and led to the return of face masks being mandatory in enclosed public spaces. Poland also registered an increase in new conﬁrmed cases, with 594 reported Friday. While that was well below the record 903 cases the country recorded Aug. 21, it was higher than the 400-500 new cases of the previous days. One possible reason for Poland’s overall decline in reported cases since last month is that the government has implemented a new strategy which focuses primarily on testing symptomatic patients. People quarantined after contact with an infected person, however, will no longer need to be tested. 79° 63° ALMANAC MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Prosecutors in the case of four former Minneapolis ofﬁcers charged in George Floyd’s death told a judge Friday that the men should face trial together because the evidence and charges against them are similar and multiple trials could traumatize witnesses and Floyd’s family. But defense attorneys argued for separate trials, saying they would likely offer “antagonistic” defenses and that the evidence against one ofﬁcer could hurt another.
