left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Oct. 7, 1996, Fox News Channel
made its debut.
On this date:
In 1910, a major wildfire devastated
the northern Minnesota towns of
Spooner and Baudette, charring at
least 300,000 acres; some 40 people
are believed to have died.
In 1916, in the most lopsided victory in college football history, Georgia
Tech defeated Cumberland University
222-0 in Atlanta.
In 1954, Marian Anderson became
the first Black singer hired by the
Metropolitan Opera Company in New
York.
In 1960, Democratic presidential
candidate John F. Kennedy and
Republican opponent Richard Nixon
held their second televised debate,
this one in Washington, D.C.
In 1982, the Andrew Lloyd WebberTim Rice musical “Cats” opened on
Broadway. (The show closed Sept.
10, 2000, after a record 7,485 performances.)
In 1985, Palestinian gunmen
hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille
Lauro (ah-KEE’-leh LOW’-roh) in the
Mediterranean. (The hijackers shot
and killed Leon Klinghoffer, a JewishAmerican tourist in a wheelchair, and
pushed him overboard, before surrendering on Oct. 9.)
In 1991, University of Oklahoma
law professor Anita Hill publicly
accused Supreme Court nominee
Clarence Thomas of making sexually

allegations.
In 1992, trade representatives of the
United States, Canada and Mexico
initialed the North American Free

In 2001, the war in Afghanistan
started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s
training camps in the wake of the
September 11 attacks.
In 2003, California voters recalled
Gov. Gray Davis and elected Arnold
Schwarzenegger their new governor.
In 2004, President George W. Bush
and Vice President Dick Cheney conceded that Saddam Hussein had no
weapons of mass destruction as they
tried to shift the Iraq war debate to a
new issue, arguing that Saddam was
abusing a U.N. oil-for-food program.
Ten years ago: New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie canceled construction
of a decades-in-the-making train tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan, citing cost overruns that had
ballooned the price tag from $5 billion
to $10 billion or more. A toxic red
sludge that had burst out of a Hungarian factory’s reservoir reached the
mighty Danube after wreaking havoc
on smaller rivers and creeks.
Five years ago: President Barack
Obama apologized to Doctors Without Borders for the American air
attack that killed 42 people at its hospital in Afghanistan, and said the U.S.
would examine military procedures to
look for better ways to prevent such
incidents. The Congressional Budget
Office estimated that the federal government ran a budget deficit of $435
billion in the just-completed budget
year, the smallest shortfall since 2007.
Tomas Lindahl of Sweden, American
Paul Modrich and Turkish-American
scientist Aziz Sanca won the Nobel
Prize in chemistry for showing how
cells repaired damaged DNA — work
that inspired the development of new
cancer treatments.
One year ago: House Democrats
issued subpoenas to Defense Secretary Mark Esper and acting White
House budget director Russell Vought
as part of the impeachment inquiry of
President Donald Trump. First lady
Melania Trump called on the makers of e-cigarettes to stop marketing
them to children, saying that they are
addictive and dangerous. The New
York Yankees completed a sweep over
the Minnesota Twins in the American
League Division Series and advanced
to meet the Houston Astros for the
league championship; it was the
Twins’ 16th straight loss in postseason games, tying the North American
major sports record held by the NHL’s
Chicago Blackhawks.

Red Wolves too
much for Rio
volleyball
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RICHMOND, Ind. — Indiana University East
rebounded from a second set loss and squashed an
upset bid by the University of Rio Grande, rolling
to a 3-1 victory (25-17, 21-25, 25-17, 25-19) over
the RedStorm, Saturday afternoon, in River States
Conference volleyball action at Lingle Court.
The host Red Wolves improved to 6-0 overall
and 5-0 in league play with the win, strengthening
their hold on the top spot in the RSC’s East Division in the process.
Rio Grande, which entered the day 1-1/2 games
behind IUE for the division lead, had a three-game
winning streak snapped.
The RedStorm (4-3 overall, 2-2 RSC) never led
in the opening set as the Red Wolves raced to a
5-2 and didn’t look back, but head coach Billina
Donaldson’s squad did manage to even the match
by surviving a roller-coaster second stanza.
IU East bolted to an 11-7 lead before Rio reeled
off six straight winners, but the Red Wolves rallied
to regain a 19-18 advantage.
Rio Grande knotted the score at 20-20 and then
scored three consecutive points to take a lead it
would never relinquish.
The RedStorm also failed to enjoy a lead in set
three, although they trailed just 11-10 before the
Red Wolves recorded ﬁve consecutive winners to
open up some breathing room. Rio got no closer
than four points the rest of the way and trailed by
as many as 11 points late in the period.
East coughed up an early 6-0 advantage in the
fourth set as the RedStorm rallied to take leads of
10-9 and 11-10, but the Red Wolves took the lead
once and for all with six straight points and Rio
got no closer than four the rest of the way.
Lexi Gentry had 14 kills to lead IU East, which
ﬁnished with a .233 attack percentage as a team
(57 kills, 26 errors, 133 swings). The Red Wolves
also tallied one solo block and 20 block assists.
Teah Barrett Matthews had 13 kills and six
block assists in the winning effort, while Jessica
Swimm had 10 kills and ﬁve block assists.
Reece Shirley was credited with 43 assists and
three service aces for IUE, while the trio of Shirley, Samantha Wigﬁeld and

back nines.
Senior Ryan Laudermilt led SHS with matching
9-hole efforts of 47 en
route to a 94. Classmate
Jacob Milliron ﬁred a 46
and 49 to ﬁnish the day
with a 95.
Junior Tanner Lisle
was next with a 52 and a
49 for 101, while senior
Lance Stewart completed
the Tornado tally with a
56-52 for a ﬁnal total of
108.
Senior David Shaver
also carded matching
58s en route to a 116 for
SHS, which ﬁnished the
2020 campaign as the
Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division runnerup.

TVC Hocking champion Belpre was ﬁfth
overall at districts with
a 343, while Waterford
was seventh with a 379

MERCERVILLE, Ohio
— No upset to be had.
The South Gallia
football team dropped
a 66-0 decision to
Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division guest
Trimble on Friday in
Gallia County, with
the Tomcats wrapping
up their third straight
undefeated league
campaign.
The Tomcats (6-0,
5-0 TVC Hocking)
needed just 12 seconds
get on the board, with
Bryce Downs breaking
a 65-yard touchdown
run, and Blake Guffey
making his ﬁrst of six
point-after kicks.
South Gallia (0-6,
0-5) trailed 13-0 with

10:01 left in the ﬁrst
quarter, with Austin
Wisor catching a 33-yard
touchdown pass from
Tabor Lackey.
With 7:45 to go in
the opening stanza,
Lackey tossed a 48-yard
touchdown pass to
Tucker Dixon, giving the
guests a 20-0 lead.
A seven-yard scoring
run by Todd Fouts and a
six-yard touchdown pass
from Lackey to Guffey
gave the Tomcats a 34-0
lead at the end of the
ﬁrst quarter.
THS was up 41-0
19 seconds into the
second quarter, with a
38-yard touchdown run
by Downs. An eightyard touchdown run by
Guffey gave Trimble a
48-0 lead, and then a
ﬁve-yard scoring run by

Ronald Mafﬁn made the
margin 54-0 at the half.
An interception return
for a touchdown by Will
Freeborn gave Trimble a
60-0 advantage with 5:01
left in the third quarter,
and then Mafﬁn capped
off the 66-0 victory with
a 16-yard touchdown
run 26 seconds into the
fourth.
Trimble had a 385-to91 advantage in total
offense, and a 15-to-7
edge in ﬁrst downs.
The Tomcats also won
the turnover battle by
a 2-to-1 tally. THS was
penalized once for 15
yards, while SGHS was
ﬂagged three times for
40 yards.
Greg Davis — who
completed his only pass
attempt for 10 yards —
led the Rebels on the

ground with 45 yards on
33 totes, while Tristan
Saber ran 14 times for
38 yards and caught the
10-yard pass.
For the Tomcats,
Lackey completed
3-of-4 passes for
87 yards and three
touchdowns. Downs
led the way on the
ground with 116 yards
and two touchdowns
on three carries, while
Mafﬁn ﬁnished with
112 yards and two
scores on eight
carries.
The Rebels will be

running for ofﬁce over 20 years
ago. I am an avid reader and I am
interested in a wide variety of topics.
About 6 years ago, I began focusing
my readings on the topics of public
discourse. I think my career and
my own interest have prepared me
for the diverse responsibilities of a
legislator and I have been encouraged
by those who I respect that this is
something they believe I can do well.
Now that my kids have grown, the
timing is right in my life and I want
to commit the next several years to
this form of public service.
