Daughters create $50,000 impact
through Meigs County Community Fund
POMEROY — Bernard
Fultz was widely known
as a private lawyer and as
Meigs County’s prosecuting attorney. He also had

Elizabeth Kellogg, Barbara McManus, and
Becky Sundquist, hon-
ored their father’s passion
for philanthropy with
gifts to support the Meigs
County Community Fund
(MCCF) at the Foundation for Appalachian

gave $5,000 to the Fund,
which seeks to grow
permanent resources for
Meigs County’s communities and all those who call

Voters consider electric aggregation measure
Staff Report
SYRACUSE — The Southeast
Ohio Public Energy Council
(SOPEC) announces that there will
be an opt-out electric aggregation
measure on the Nov. 3 General
Election ballot for voters living in
the Village of Syracuse, Ohio.
Voters living in the Village of
Syracuse will decide if they will
authorize their local government to
aggregate, or bundle, the electric
load of all eligible residential and
small business electricity accounts
to see if a competitive retail electric supplier (CRES) can offer a
competitive rate on the generation/
supply portion of everyone’s electric bill — and allowing residents
to opt-out if an electric aggregation
program is created.
Leading up to the primary election, SOPEC will be providing educational materials in various ways
WHAT WILL VOTERS SEE ON THEIR BALLOT?
Shall the Village of Syracuse have the authority to aggregate the retail
electricity loads located within the incorporated areas of the Village and
enter into service agreements for the sale and purchase of electricity, such
aggregation to occur automatically except where any person elects to optout?
YES - I WILL ALLOW AGGREGATION
NO - I WILL NOT ALLOW AGGREGATION
to assist residents in understanding the measure, its language, and
to provide resources about electric
aggregation in Ohio. As described
on the Public Utilities Commission
of Ohio website: “…local Ohio communities are allowed, by law, to
join their citizens together to buy
electricity as a group and thereby
gain “buying power” to solicit the
lowest price for the group’s electricity needs.”
SOPEC is a leading public electricity aggregator in the region,
serving 18 communities in South-
east Ohio and representing over
75,000 people. If a community
passes electric aggregation on their
local ballot, they can join SOPEC.
SOPEC can arrange, as part of a
Master Supply Agreement, opt-out
electric aggregation programs for
the communities it serves, which
automatically enrolls all eligible
residents unless they were to individually opt-out of the program
(decide not to participate).
Once aggregation is in place in

possible today.
“I am honored and
thrilled to be recognized
in this way for a
documentary project that
is so close to my heart,”
said Shaw, a now 14-time

“Being able to tell the
stories of the towns and
people of our region
brings me tremendous
pride.”

entire county versus just
one city.

outreach efforts. “The
Trump administration
has lost time and time
again in their attempts
to interfere with the
2020 Census, and we
welcome the Ninth Circuit’s decision, which
preserves a fair and

Responding to the
pandemic, the Census
Bureau in April
proposed extending the
deadline for finishing
the count from the end
of July to the end of
October and pushing
the apportionment
deadline from Dec.
31 to next April. The
proposal to extend the
apportionment deadline
passed the Democraticcontrolled House,
but the Republicancontrolled Senate didn’t
take up the request.
Then, during the
summer, bureau officials
shortened the count
schedule by a month so
that it would finish at
the end of September.
The Republicans’
inaction coincided
with a memorandum
President Donald
Trump issued, which
was later ruled unlawful
by a panel of three
district judges in
New York, directing
the Census Bureau
to exclude from the
apportionment count
people in the country
illegally. The Trump
administration is
appealing that case to
the Supreme Court.

Blue Devils win D-2 district title
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com
WILLIAMSPORT,
Ohio — The last time
the Blue Devils went to
the state golf tournament, they set all kinds
of school records — but
they didn’t win a district
crown.
The honor of bringing
home the program’s first
boys district title since
the turn of the millennium is now secure.
The Gallia Academy
golf team notched the
program’s 10th state
berth in school history
and first since 2011 on
Wednesday following a

Pictured are the winning members of the Division II Southeast
District boys golf championship from Gallia Academy. Standing,
from left, are Laith Hamid, Hunter Cook, GAHS head coach Mark
Allen, Cooper Davis, GAHS assistant coach Mark Allen II, William
Hendrickson and Beau Johnson.
2-stroke victory over the
field at the 2020 Division
II Southeast District boys
golf tournament held at
Crown Hill Golf Club in
Pickaway County.
The Blue Devils carded
four of top 18 individual
rounds on the day and
finished with a winning
tally of 341, which ended
up being two shots better
than the total produced
by Ohio Valley Conference champion and district runner-up Fairland
(343).
Fairfield Union was
third out of 10 teams with
a 344, while Wheelersburg (362) and Chesapeake (363) completed
the top five positions.
Unioto (366), Hillsboro
(375), Piketon (386),
Circleville (388) and
McClain (437) rounded
out the bottom half of the
field.
GAHS — which has
previously advanced
to state in 1971, 1974
(spring), 1976-78, 199698 and 2011 — placed
third overall in the 2011
D-2 championship at
NorthStar Golf Club in
Sunbury.
Gallipolis High School
— separate from Gallia
Academy’s history — also
earned eight state berths
in 1938-40, 1942 and
1962-65, which included
a runner-up effort back in
1938.
Wheelersburg senior
Trevin Mault claimed
district medalist honors
with a 2-over par round of
74 over 18 holes. Clayton
Thomas of Fairland was
the overall runner-up with
a 77.
Sophomore Laith
Hamid paced Gallia Academy with a fifth place
effort of 79 after carding
9-holes logs of 40 and 39.
Senior Cooper Davis
and junior William Hendrickson were part of a
5-way tie for 10th place
with identical efforts of
86. Davis went 42 and 44
on his splits, while Hendrickson shot a pair of
43s on each 9-hole set.
Sophomore Beau Johnson completed the

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — No slowing them
down.
The Eastern volleyball team won its fifth match
in a row and its ninth in 10 tries on Tuesday at
‘The Nest’, defeating Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Southern by a 3-1 tally.
EHS (13-5, 8-1 TVC Hocking) — which also
won 3-1 at Southern on Sept. 10 — began Tuesday’s bout with a 25-13 victory and then followed
it up with a 25-8 win.
Southern (3-12, 3-6) won the third set by a
25-22 clip, ending Eastern’s streak of 14 straight
sets won.
The Lady Eagles responded with a 25-11 victory
in Game 4, capping off the 3-1 triumph.
Sydney Sanders led the Lady Eagle service
attack with eight aces, followed by Brielle Newland with five. Olivia Barber claimed a pair of aces
in the win, while Jenna Chadwell and Tessa Rockhold had an ace apiece.

BIDWELL, Ohio — Nearly a month later, and
not all that much had changed.
The Meigs volleyball team — which topped
River Valley 3-1 on Sept. 8 in Rocksprings — met
with the Lady Raiders in Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division action on Wednesday in Gallia
County, this time winning in straight sets.
The Lady Marauders (7-9, 3-6 TVC Ohio) took
their first lead of the night at 8-7, and led the rest
of the way to the 25-19 win in the opening game.
River Valley (5-8, 1-6) led 1-0 in Game 2, but
gave up the next two markers and didn’t lead
again, with Meigs winning 25-17.
RVHS led by as many as seven points, at 19-12
and 20-13, in Game 3, but the Lady Marauders
were in front at 21-20. River Valley tied it at 22,
but surrendered the next three markers, falling

Cross Words: A life worth living
The life God calls us
to live doesn’t make
sense from a human
perspective. His ways
aren’t our ways; His
thoughts aren’t our
thoughts (see Isa.
55:8-9). And seeing
the example of Jesus
in the Gospels, the
countercultural ways
of God become even
more clear. This is a
God who challenges our
perceptions and wrecks
our plans.
That’s what we see
in Luke 10 as Jesus
sends messengers ahead
of Him to spread the
gospel. He calls them
to lay everything else
aside. To sacrifice their
comfort. To let go of
the things they think
they need. To die to
themselves. To count the
cost of what it means to
go wherever He might
lead.
This week, I want to
focus on Luke 10:17-20.
These four verses tell
of those messengers
returning to Christ. And
rather than returning

because God is using
us in a great way we’re
right with Him. We
can’t assume that just
because our mission
is successful our lives
are pleasing to God
(see Matt. 7:21-23).
As humans, we have a
tendency to celebrate
the gift and neglect the
Giver. Jesus challenges
the messengers not to
bank too heavily on
what God has done
through them; rather,
He wants them to
cherish what He has
done for them.
In verses 18-19, Jesus
acknowledges their
victory over Satan.
Now, these can be
some difficult verses to
understand. What about
Satan falling? What
about those snakes?
This is not a plea for
snake handling. Rather,
Jesus is acknowledging
Satan’s defeat.

you just didn’t want

people made excuses
for their behavior. Jesus
once told a parable
(story) in Matthew 22
about a king who threw
a party, but none of
the people he invited
showed up for his party.
In Jesus’ story, the king
was going to have this

was getting married.

When God spoke to the

Jonathan be to me a
McAnulty kingdom
Contributing of priests
columnist
and a holy
nation (Exodus 19:5-6a; ESV).”
A “kingdom” is a
country belonging to a
king, and God desired to
be King over His people.
But the people of Israel
did not honor God as
king, nor keep His word
as they should so that the
Scriptures state that, “In
those days there was no
king in Israel. Everyone
did what was right in his
own eyes (Judges 17:6;
ESV).” Instead of obeying
the voice of God, they
followed their own desire.
Eventually, they
further rejected God by
demanding that God
appoint a human king for
them. This displeased
the prophet Samuel, but
God comforted Samuel
saying, “Obey the voice of
the people in all that they
say to you, for they have
not rejected you, but they
have rejected me from
being king over them (1
Samuel 8:7; ESV).”
Many years later, God
sent His Son, anointed
with the Holy Spirit, to
be the King of Israel.
Concerning Jesus it
was prophesied, “the
Lord God will give to
him the throne of his
father David, and he will
reign over the house of
Jacob forever, and of his
kingdom there will be
no end (Luke 1:32-33;
ESV).”
Jesus came preaching
the Kingdom, declaring
it was at hand. Those
who had rejected God as
their king would have the
opportunity to accept His
covenant, obey His voice
and begin again.
But the Jews,
represented by their
leaders, walked in
the footsteps of their
ancestors and rejected
God’s will. They were
not satisfied with the
King God had chosen for
them but instead declared
to Pilate, “We have no
king but Caesar (John
19:15b).”
Consider what a
sweeping statement
that was, and how
utterly it condemned
the chief priests as the
uttered it. No king but
Caesar meant that they
recognized no law but
that which Caesar gave,
that they would be a part
of no kingdom except
that which belonged
to Caesar. They were
confessing their rejection
of God’s will, God’s law,
and God’s kingdom. And
because they rejected
God, He rejected them
as both His priests, and
His nation, allowing
Jerusalem and the Temple
to be destroyed forty
years later as foretold
by Jesus Himself (cf.
Matthew 24:1-2).
But not all rejected
Jesus as King. There were
those who accepted His
authority. There were
those who desired to
heed the voice of God and
be a part of the Covenant
with Christ. In these the
desire of God to be King
was fulfilled. Of these, the
Scriptures, echoing the
words of Exodus, declare
“But you are a chosen
race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people
for his own possession,
that you may proclaim the
excellencies of him who
called you out of darkness
into his marvelous light
(1 Peter 2:9; ESV).”
Elsewhere it is declared
of the followers of Jesus,
“He has delivered us
from the domain of
darkness and transferred
us to the kingdom of his
beloved Son, in whom
we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins
(Colossians 1:13-14;
ESV).” Christians are
joined by God to the
Kingdom of Christ and
are a holy nation for the
glory of God. What an
honor to be a part of that
divine nation.
But to be that Kingdom
that God desires we must
still heed His voice, keep
His covenant, and walk in
His word. We must honor
Christ as the King and
honor His words as our
Law. We must choose to
serve Him over all others
and submit ourselves to
His will.
How many, having that
blessed opportunity to
partake of the Kingdom
of Heaven instead
live as if they have no
King, doing only that
which is right in their
own eyes? How many,
having been given the
perfect monarch, yearn
instead to be led by men,
thus rejecting God as
their sovereign? How
many, out of political
expediency or earthly
motivations, choose
to instead give their
allegiance to those who
cannot save? When they
do this are they not in
effect declaring, “we have
no king but Caesar,” in
harmony with the Jews
of yore?
Its easy to fault,
with hindsight and the
removal of years, the
choices of the Israelites
in rejecting God as King.
It is easy to shake our
heads at their foolishness
and observe how their
choices led to suffering.
But if we are to be honest
with ourselves, we must
recognize that we today
are given the same choice
and an even greater
opportunity to be a part
of God’s people, and
that a great number of
us make the exact same
choice as they did.
If we make the same
choices, we should not
expect much better
results.

Golden Rule
One of the takeaways from Jesus’ most famous
sermon (the Sermon on the Mount found in the
Gospel of Matthew chapters 5 through 7) is, “So
whatever you wish that others would do to you, do
also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets”
(Matthew 7:12 ESV). To “do unto others what you
would have them do to you” is often
called the “Golden Rule.”
This single statement has historically been widely known (if not
practiced) by people who do not
even identify as Christians. On the
other hand, as our society becomes
increasingly illiterate of the Word of
Thom
God (prone to assume it knows what
Mollohan the Bible says, yet ignorant of what
Contributing
it actually does say), it seems that
columnist
fewer and fewer people know this
Kingdom of God principle. Fewer
even attempt to practice it.
When Jesus teaches His hearers and readers like
you and me to do this, He sets for us the idea that
most of our societal expectations including our
laws, morals, and attitudes affecting our treatment
of each other are answered in the common sense
notion that if you and I want others to treat us
respectfully, honestly, and kindly, we need to get
in the habit of treating others with respect, honesty, and kindness.
As you and I do our part to carry this out, we
bring into the social atmosphere of our world a
spiritual force that changes the hearts of others.
To be sure, it is a gradual change, and is a lot like
moving a beach one grain of sand at a time, but it
is real change.
However, with tidal waves of hatred, misunderstanding, and malice crashing onto the shorelines
of our interactions with one another, it may seem
overwhelming to my one act of integrity or truthfulness or generosity. Yet small acts of regard for
others that are genuine have a way of softening
hard hearts, weakening stubborn pride, and countering selfish and petty attitudes.
Consider how such small deeds, kind words,
and trustworthy habits often prove contagious even more profoundly than COVID-19. A woman
may treat with kindness another because a stranger showed her kindness. A man’s cheerfulness may
light up the room full of gloomy coworkers who
find it in their hearts to smile at others on the way
home from work. A woman’s humble attitude may
set her subordinates at ease. A person’s integrity
with a club’s money may show his community that
he can be trusted with the county budget. And so
on. Genuinely helping and supporting others is
something we all would do well to “catch.”
But aside from the effects that these things have
on others, a deeper and greater reason remains: it
pleases our Heavenly Father for us to treat others
well and faithfully.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the
Lord and not for men, knowing that from the
Lord you will receive the inheritance as your
reward. You are serving the Lord Christ” (Colossians 3:23-24 ESV). To “work heartily” here
means to work with enthusiasm and with diligence, faithfully carrying out our work. Why?
Because it makes the world a better place?
While it does that very thing, no, that is not
the reason. We do it because, whatever the
worldly outcome, our pleasure is in pleasing our
Savior.
Yet… even as we carry out this labor of love, we
are changing the world. One grain of sand at a
time perhaps, but when all of God’s people are carrying out this high and holy calling, to treat others
as we wish to be treated, together the tide turns
and the world is made better.
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for
in due season we will reap, if we do not give up”
(Galatians 6:9 ESV).
Let us each do our part, trusting that Jesus
knows what He is talking about. Let us not concern ourselves with how others are behaving, but
be resolved in fulfilling the Golden Rule.

coins some dating back to the early 1800’s.
Decision puts valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins back
in circulation – zip codes determine who gets them
Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face
value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List below and beat the 48 hour order deadline
Who gets the U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Only U.S. residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below
are getting the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-865-9521 NCS1116
“The vaults at Federated Mint are going
empty,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the
emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United
States of America.
That’s because a decision by Federated
Mint to put valuable U.S. Gov’t issued
coins, some worth up to 50 times their
face value, back in circulation means
unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U.
S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the
1800’s are now being handed over to U.S.
residents who find their zip code listed in
today’s publication.
“These are not ordinary coins you find
in your pocket change. These are valuable
silver, scarce, highly collectible and noncirculating U.S. coins dating back to the
1800’s which is why U.S. residents will be
claiming as many as they can get their
hands on. That’s because after the bags
were loaded with over 2 pounds of U.S. Gov’t
issued coins the dates were never searched
and the bags were securely sealed. That
means there’s no telling what you’ll find
until you search all the coins,” said Withrow.
“But don’t thank the Government. As
Executive Advisor to Federated Mint, I
get paid to inform and educate the general
public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the
decision by Federated Mint to put valuable
U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation
– everyone’s asking me, how much are
the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The
answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values
always fluctuate and there are never any
guarantees, but we do know this. Each
unsearched bag weighs over 2 pounds and is
known to contain at least one silver Walking
Liberty coin and just that one coin alone
could be worth $15 - $325 in collector value.
So there’s no telling what you’ll find until
you search through all the coins. But you
better believe at just $249 these unsearched
Vault Bags are a steal, “said Withrow.
The only thing U.S. residents who find
their zip code printed in today’s publication
need to do is call the National Toll Free
Hotline before the 48 hour deadline ends.
This is very important. The Vault Bag
fee has been set for $349 for residents who
miss the 48 hour deadline, but for those U.S.
residents who beat the 48 hour deadline the
Vault Bag fee is just $249 as long as they call
the National Toll Free Hotline before the

“Remember this, we ca nnot stop
collectors from buying up all the unsearched
bags of coins they can get in this special
advertising announcement. And you better
believe with each bag being loaded with over
2 pounds of valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins
they’re going to go quick,” said Withrow.
The phone lines will be ringing off the
hook beginning at precisely 8:30am this
morning. That’s because each unsearched
Vault Bag is loaded in part with highly
sought after collector coins dating clear
back to the 1800’s including the stunning
Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar, valuable
President Eisenhower Silver Dollars, rarely
seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high

Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty
Quarter Dollar, American Bicentennial

“With all these valuable coins up for grabs
we’re doing all we can to answer all the

Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss
the deadline to claim the valuable U.S. Gov’t

who find their zip code listed in today’s

13 charged in plots against Michigan governor, police
By Ed White
Associated Press
LANSING, Mich.
— Agents foiled a stunning plot to kidnap
Michigan Democratic
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer,
authorities said Thursday
in announcing charges in
an alleged scheme that
involved months of planning and even rehearsals
to snatch her from her
vacation home.
Six men were charged
in federal court with
conspiring to kidnap
the governor in reaction
to what they viewed
as her “uncontrolled
power,” according to a
federal complaint. Separately, seven others were
charged in state court
under Michigan’s antiterrorism laws for allegedly targeting police and
seeking a “civil war.”
A few hours later, Whitmer pinned some blame
on President Donald
Trump, noting that he
did not condemn white
supremacists in
last week’s debate with
Joe Biden and instead
told a far-right group to
“stand back and stand
by.”
“Hate groups heard the
president’s words not as
Michigan Office of the Governor via AP, File
In this photo Sept. 16 file photo, provided by the Michigan Office of
the Governor, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer addresses the state during
a speech in Lansing, Mich. According to a criminal complaint
unsealed Thursday, multiple people plotted to try to kidnap
Whitmer at her vacation home.
a rebuke but as a rallying
cry, as a call to action,”
Whitmer said. “When
our leaders speak, their
words matter. They carry
weight.”
The six men charged in
federal court plotted for
months, consulting and
training with members
of a group that federal
authorities described as
a militia, and undertaking
rehearsals in August and
September, according to
an FBI affidavit. They
were arrested Wednesday
night and face up to life
in prison if convicted.
Four had planned
Wednesday to meet to
“make a payment on
explosives and exchange
tactical gear,” the FBI
said in the court filing.
The FBI quoted one
of the accused as saying
Whitmer “has no checks
and balances at all. She
has uncontrolled power
right now. All good things
must come to an end.”
Andrew Birge, the
U.S. attorney in western
Michigan, called the men
“violent extremists.”
“All of us in Michigan
can disagree about politics, but those disagreements should never, ever
amount to violence. Violence has been prevented
today,” Detroit U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider
told reporters.
Whitmer, who was
considered as Joe Biden’s
running mate, has
been praised but also
deeply criticized by the
Republican-controlled
Legislature and conservatives areas of the state
for Michigan’s response
to the coronavirus. She
put major restrictions
on personal movement
throughout the state and
on the economy, although
many of those limits have
been lifted. The governor
has exchanged barbs with
Trump on social media,
with the president declaring in April, “LIBERATE
MICHIGAN!”
He has referred to
Whitmer as the “woman
in Michigan.” There’s no
indication in the criminal
complaint that the men
were inspired by Trump.
Authorities also have not
publicly said whether the
men were angry about
Whitmer’s coronavirus
orders.
The Michigan Supreme
Court last week ruled
that a 1945 law used as
the foundation for many
of Whitmer’s orders was
unconstitutional. The
decision was 4-3, with
justices who were nominated by Republicans in
the majority.
The government said
the plot against Whitmer was stopped with
the work of undercover
agents and informants.
Whitmer thanked law
enforcement for thwarting the alleged conspirators and said she hopes
that convictions will bring
“these sick and depraved
men to justice.”
Through electronic
communications, two of
the alleged conspirators
“agreed to unite others in
their cause and take violent action against multiple state governments
that they believe are violating the U.S. Constitution,” the FBI said.
The criminal complaint
identified the six as
Adam Fox, Ty Garbin,
Kaleb Franks, Daniel Harris, Brandon Caserta, all
of Michigan, and Barry
Croft of Delaware. All but
Croft appeared in federal
court in Grand Rapids.
They asked for courtappointed lawyers and
were returned to jail to
await detention hearings
Tuesday.
Fox said he needed 200
men to storm the Capitol
building in Lansing and
take hostages, including
the governor, according
to the FBI. He said he
wanted to try Whitmer
for “treason” and would
execute the plan before
the Nov. 3 election, the
government said. The
group later shifted to
targeting the governor’s
vacation home, the FBI
said.
The government said
the scheme appeared to
have roots in a June gathering in Dublin, Ohio,
attended by more than a
dozen people from several
states, including Croft
and Fox.
“The group talked
about creating a society
that followed the U.S. Bill
of Rights and where they
could be self-sufficient,”
the FBI affidavit said.
“They discussed different ways of achieving
this goal from peaceful
endeavors to violent
actions. ... Several members talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a
sitting governor.”
In a separate but
related action, state
authorities announced
terrorism-related charges
against seven men who
were said to belong to or
were associated with Wolverine Watchmen, which
was described as a militia
group.

This combination of Sept. 29 photos shows President Donald Trump, left, and former Vice President Joe Biden during the first
presidential debate at Case Western University and Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio. The Commission on Presidential Debates says
the second Trump-Biden debate will be “virtual” amid concerns about the president’s COVID-19.
Next Trump-Biden debate now uncertain
By Zeke Miller
and Will Weissert
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
— The fate of final
debates between President Donald Trump and
Democrat Joe Biden was
thrown into uncertainty
Thursday as the campaigns offered dueling
proposals for moving
forward with faceoffs that
have been upended by the
president’s coronavirus
infection.
By late in the day, it
was unclear when or how
the next debates would
proceed, or whether voters would even get to see
the two men running for
the White House on the
same stage again before
Election Day.
The whipsaw day
began with an announcement from the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, which
said the next debate, a
town hall-style affair set
for Oct. 15 in Miami,
would be held virtually.
The commission cited
health concerns following
Trump’s infection as the
reason for the change.
Trump, who is eager to
return to the campaign
trail despite uncertainty
about his health, said he
wouldn’t participate if the
debate wasn’t in person.
Biden’s campaign then
suggested the event be
delayed a week until Oct.
22, which is when the
third and final debate is
already scheduled.
Next, Trump countered
again, agreeing to a
debate on Oct. 22 — but
only if face to face — and
asking that a third contest
be added on Oct. 29, just
before the election. But
Biden’s advisors rejected
squaring off that late in
the campaign.
ABC News, which had
been set to host next
week’s debate, subsequently announced it
would host its own town
hall where Biden will
answer questions from
voters on national television next Thursday —
but in Philadelphia, not
Miami.
“We agreed to three
debates back in the summer,” Biden said while
campaigning in Arizona.
“First debate: person-toperson. Second debate:
town hall format. Third
debate: person-to-person.
We set the dates. I’m
sticking with the dates.
I’m showing up. I’ll be
there. And if, in fact,
he shows up, fine. If he
doesn’t, fine.”
The debate commission, which has the
unenviable task of finding common ground
between the competing
campaigns, did not weigh
in on any of the new proposals. The organization
has come under scrutiny
already during this election after the first debate
between Trump and
Biden deteriorated, with
the president frequently
interrupting his opponent
and the moderator unable
to take control.
For Trump, who is
recovering from COVID19 at the White House
after spending three days
in the hospital, all the
talk of contagiousness
is an unwelcome disruption to his effort to shift
focus away from a virus
that has killed more than
210,000 Americans this
year.
In an interview with
Fox Business anchor
Maria Bartiromo shortly
after the commission’s
announcement, Trump
insisted he was in “great
shape” and called the
idea of a virtual debate a
“joke.”
“I’m not going to do
a virtual debate,” he
declared.
The president’s
campaign manager, Bill
Stepien, said Trump
would stage a rally
rather than debate next
Thursday, though it’s not
yet clear if he will be well
enough to do that.
With less than four
weeks until Election
Day and with millions
of voters casting early
ballots, pressure is
building on Trump to
turn around a campaign
that is trailing Biden
nationally and in most
battlegrounds, where the
margin is narrower. A
debate before an audience
of tens of millions of
television viewers could
provide that reset.
But another debate
could also expose Trump
to political risks. GOP
strategists say the
party’s support began
eroding after his seething
performance against
Biden last week when he
didn’t clearly denounce a
white supremacist group.
Trump’s apparent
unwillingness to change
his style to win back
voters he needs —
particularly women
— was on display again
Thursday during his Fox
Business interview when
he referred to Democratic
vice presidential nominee
Kamala Harris as a
“monster.” Harris and
Vice President Mike
Pence debated in person
in Salt Lake City on
Wednesday night, but
were separated by
plexiglass barriers to
prevent the spread of the
virus.

Q: When might they be

A: Eli Lilly and Regeneron have asked the Food

for emergency authorization. During public health
emergencies the FDA can
speed drugs to market
based on a lower standard of evidence than is
normally required. Drugmakers need only show
that the expected benefits
of their therapies outweigh the risks for treating COVID-19. There is
no deadline for the FDA
to rule on the drugs, but
it typically makes decisions on such emergency
applications within days
or weeks.
Q: Who would get

A: Researchers are still
trying to determine the
best candidates for antibody treatment. Some
studies involve newly
infected people to see
if early treatment can
lower the risk of becoming sick. Other studies
in hospitalized patients
aim to prevent serious
illness, complications or
death. Researchers also
are testing these drugs to
try to prevent infection
in people at high risk of
it, such as health workers, housemates of people
with COVID-19, and nursing home workers and
residents.
Q: Will there be enough
for everyone?
A: It depends on how
potent the drugs prove to
be, something still being
studied. If a high dose is
needed to be effective,
it will mean that fewer
people can be treated
with limited supplies.

philanthropic activities
in Meigs County and
gives everyone a way to

The MCCF is continuing to raise funds
through its Endow 200
campaign, launched to
celebrate Meigs County’s
200th birthday by growing resources to benefit
Meigs County’s people
and communities forever.
The campaign invites
anyone who holds Meigs
County close to their
heart to give a gift of
$3,000 or more, payable
over five years.
Through this campaign, the MCCF hopes
to build $1 million in
endowment, which will
grow over time to allow
MCCF to make grants of
approximately $40,000
every year into the
future. So far, the Endow
