An SUV ended up inside a church in Pomeroy during
a Sunday afternoon crash. According to a run report
from the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department, the
department responded to a report of a one vehicle
versus building crash on Mulberry Avenue at the
intersection of Union Avenue. The building is Grace
Gospel Church. “Upon arrival, a vehicle had went
over a concrete parking divider, through an exterior
wall, and into an unoccupied church. There was
no entrapment and all occupants were out of the
vehicle. Personnel conducted scene assessment and
stabilization due to the damage at the structure.
Personnel remained on-site until a wrecker removed
the vehicle. Church members boarded up the church
until permanent repairs can be made,” stated the

COLUMBUS — Ohio Attorney
General Dave Yost joined federal,
state and local law enforcement
partners to announce the success
of a statewide anti-human trafﬁcking operation.
Operation Autumn Hope, coordinated through AG Yost’s Ohio
Organized Crime Investigations
Commission, encompassed more
than 50 law enforcement agencies and non-government partners
to break the cycle that fuels sex
trafﬁcking across the state. The
broad-based effort, carried out in
various parts of the state simultaneously, identiﬁed four priorities:

H[iYk_d]�l_Yj_ci�e\�^kcWd�
trafﬁcking and referring them to
social services
H[Yel[h_d]�c_ii_d]�WdZ�
exploited children
7ffh[^[dZ_d]�j^ei[�i[[a_d]�
to have sex with a minor
7hh[ij_d]�cWb[�`e^di�i[[a_d]�
to buy sex
“The success of Operation
Autumn Hope is measured not
only in the number of arrests but
in the lives that were rescued from
this evil,” Yost said. “Every agency
on this team looks for the day
when no person is bought and sold
in Ohio. Don’t buy sex in Ohio!”
During the operation, the Central Ohio Human Trafﬁcking Trask

Force, Columbus PACT Unit and
the Cuyahoga County Human
Trafﬁcking Task Force rescued
109 human trafﬁcking victims
and referred them to social services.
“These vulnerable members
of our population usually slip
through the cracks,” said Sgt.
Dana Hess, director of the
Central Ohio Human Trafﬁcking Task Force. “This operation
highlighted the vast number of
potential victims and allowed law
enforcement the opportunity to
make contact and link them to
services.”

TODAY IN HISTORY
The Associated Press

Today is Tuesday,
Oct. 27, the 301st day
of 2020. There are 65
days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History
On Oct. 27, 1904,
the ﬁrst rapid transit
subway, the IRT, was
inaugurated in New
York City.
On this date
In 1787, the ﬁrst of
the Federalist Papers, a
series of essays calling
for ratiﬁcation of the
United States Constitution, was published.
In 1858, the 26th
president of the United
States, Theodore Roosevelt, was born in New
York City.
In 1941, the Chicago Daily Tribune
dismissed the possibility of war with Japan,
editorializing, “She
cannot attack us. That
is a military impossibility. Even our base
at Hawaii is beyond
the effective striking
power of her ﬂeet.”
In 1954, U.S. Air
Force Col. Benjamin
O. Davis Jr. was promoted to brigadier
general, the ﬁrst Black
ofﬁcer to achieve that
rank in the USAF. Walt
Disney’s ﬁrst television program, titled
“Disneyland” after the
yet-to-be completed
theme park, premiered
on ABC.
In 1962, during the
Cuban Missile Crisis,
a U-2 reconnaissance
aircraft was shot down
while ﬂying over Cuba,
killing the pilot, U.S.
Air Force Maj. Rudolf
Anderson Jr.
In 1978, Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat
and Israeli Prime
Minister Menachem
Begin (men-AH’-kem

BAY’-gihn) were
named winners of the
Nobel Peace Prize for
their progress toward
achieving a Middle
East accord.
In 1995, a sniper
killed one soldier and
wounded 18 others
at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina. (Paratrooper
William J. Kreutzer
was convicted in the
shootings, and condemned to death; the
sentence was later
commuted to life in
prison.)
In 1998, Hurricane
Mitch cut through the
western Caribbean,
pummeling coastal
Honduras and Belize;
the storm caused several thousand deaths in
Central America in the
days that followed.
In 2001, in Washington, the search for
deadly anthrax widened to thousands of
businesses and 30 mail
distribution centers.
In 2004, the Boston
Red Sox won their ﬁrst
World Series since
1918, sweeping the
St. Louis Cardinals in
Game 4, 3-0.
In 2005, White
House counsel Harriet Miers withdrew
her nomination to the
Supreme Court after
three weeks of brutal
criticism from fellow
conservatives.
In 2018, a gunman
shot and killed 11 congregants and wounded
six others at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life
synagogue in the deadliest attack on Jews in
U.S. history; authorities said the suspect,
Robert Bowers, raged
against Jews during
and after the rampage.
(Bowers, who is awaiting trial, has pleaded
not guilty; prosecutors
are seeking a death
sentence.)

People pray to Jesus at the door of the Supreme Court
in support of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett
on Monday outside the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill in
Washington.

GOP senators power
Barrett toward high
court confirmation
By Lisa Mascaro
AP Congressional Correspondent

WASHINGTON —
Overpowering Democratic opposition, Senate Republicans are set
to conﬁrm Amy Coney
Barrett to the Supreme
Court, securing President Donald Trump’s
nominee a week before
Election Day and a
likely conservative court
majority for years to
come.
Trump’s choice to ﬁll
the vacancy of the late
liberal icon Ruth Bader
Ginsburg potentially
opens a new era of rulings on abortion, the
Affordable Care Act and
even a potential dispute
over his own election.
Democrats are unable
to stop Monday’s outcome, Trump’s third
justice to the court, as
Republicans race to
reshape the judiciary.
Barrett is 48, and her
conﬁrmation will solidify the court’s rightward
tilt.
Monday’s vote is
the closest high court
conﬁrmation ever to a
presidential election,
and the ﬁrst in modern
times with no support
from the minority party.
The spiking COVID-19
crisis has hung over
the proceedings. Vice
President Mike Pence’s
ofﬁce said Monday he
would not preside at the
Senate session unless
his tie-breaking vote is
needed after Democrats
asked him to stay away
when his aides tested
positive for COVID-19.
With Barrett’s conﬁrmation all but assured,
Trump was expected
to celebrate with a
swearing-in event at the
White House after the
late-evening vote.
“This is something to
be really proud of and
feel good about,” Senate
Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell said during
a rare weekend session
Sunday ahead of voting.
He scoffed at the “apocalyptic” warnings from
critics that the judicial
branch was becoming
mired in partisan politics and declared that
“they won’t be able to
do much about this for
a long time to come.”
Pence’s presence
presiding for the vote
would have been
expected, showcasing
the Republican priority.
But Senate Democratic
leader Chuck Schumer
and his leadership team
said that it would not
only violate virus guidelines of the Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention, “it would
also be a violation of
common decency and
courtesy.”
Some GOP senators
tested positive for the
coronavirus following a
Rose Garden event with
Trump to announce
Barrett’s nomination,
but they have since said
they have been cleared
by their doctors from
quarantine. Pence’s
ofﬁce said the vice pres-

ident tested negative for
the virus on Monday.
Democrats argued
for weeks that the vote
was being improperly
rushed and insisted during an all-night session
it should be up to the
winner of the Nov. 3
election to name the
nominee. However, Barrett, a federal appeals
court judge from Indiana, is expected to be
seated swiftly, and begin
hearing cases.
Speaking near midnight Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, D-Mass., called
the vote “illegitimate”
and “the last gasp of a
desperate party.”
Several pre-election
matters are awaiting
decision just a week
before Election Day, and
she could be a decisive
vote in Republican
appeals of court orders
extending the deadline
for absentee ballots
in North Carolina and
Pennsylvania.
The justices also are
weighing Trump’s emergency plea for the court
to prevent the Manhattan District Attorney
from acquiring his tax
returns. And on Nov.
10, the court is expected to hear the Trumpbacked challenge to the
Obama-era Affordable
Care Act.
Trump has said he
wanted to swiftly install
a ninth justice to resolve
election disputes and
is hopeful the justices
will end the health law
known as “Obamacare.”
During several days of
public testimony before
the Senate Judiciary
Committee, Barrett was
careful not to disclose
how she would rule on
any such cases.
She presented herself
as a neutral arbiter and
suggested, “It’s not
the law of Amy.” But
her writings against
abortion and a ruling
on “Obamacare” show
a deeply conservative
thinker.
Sen. Lindsey Graham,
R-S.C., the chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, praised the mother
of seven as a role model
— “a conservative
woman who embraces
her faith.” Republicans
focused on her Catholic
religion, reviving earlier
Democratic questions
about her beliefs. Graham said Barrett is
“unabashedly pro-life,
but she’s not going to
apply ‘the law of Amy’
to all of us.”
At the start of
Trump’s presidency,
McConnell engineered
a Senate rules change
to allow conﬁrmation by a majority
of the 100 senators,
rather than the 60-vote
threshold traditionally needed to advance
high court nominees
over objections. That
was an escalation of
a rules change Democrats put in place to
advance other court
and administrative
nominees under President Barack Obama.

ATHENS — Ohio University announced that Dr. Purba
Das, associate professor in communications studies at
OHIO’s Southern Campus, will be the 2020 Fall Commencement speaker.
“Dr. Das’ extensive knowledge of intercultural and health
communication research is very impressive,” OHIO President M. Duane Nellis said. “In addition to being an expert
in her ﬁeld, she is also an outstanding teacher and I am
looking forward to hearing her advice for our graduates as
they embark on their next chapters.”
Das’ research takes a culture-centered approach to health
communication by looking at the problematics of nations,
national identity, media and health narratives in marginalized populations in the United States (Appalachia regions)
and India.
“It is truly an honor to be selected as OHIO’s Fall Commencement speaker,” Das said. “Commencement may take
place in a different format this fall, but it is still an event
of celebration and acknowledgement for our graduates. I
am looking forward to recognizing them and taking part in
December.”
Das also currently serves as co-chair for the Inclusive
Pedagogy Academy, a joint venture between the Ofﬁce of
Instructional Innovation and the Division of Diversity and
Inclusion to support faculty who are wanting to improve
and implement inclusion practices within their classrooms.
She has also been a collaborator representing the Southern
Campus in the One OHIO initiative.
“In addition to her incredible academic strength, Dr.
Das has been a leader in the COIL (Collaborative Online
International Learning) Initiative, as well as serving as
chair of the University International Council and cochairing the newly formed International Think Tank,
charged with evaluating our international student services, alumni relationships, partnerships, research, experiential learning, and globalization of our curriculum,”
Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Sayrs
said. “I am certain her message will educate and inspire
our Fall class of 2020.”

Eastern junior Colton Combs (25) drags a pair of Pilots for extra yardage, during
River’s 49-13 victory on Friday in Hannibal, Ohio.

HANNIBAL, Ohio — No
answer for the Pilots’ passing.
The 11th-seeded Eastern
football team had its postseason come to an end on Friday
night at Martin Flannery
Field, falling to third-seeded
River 49-13 in the Region 27
quarterﬁnals, with the hosts
completing 16-of-24 pass
attempts for 278 yards and
four touchdowns.
Eastern (5-3) — which had
won ﬁve straight decisions
headed into play — came up
with a takeaway on the ﬁrst
drive of the game, as Steve
Fitzgerald intercepted a pass
inside the 10-yard line, and

returning it to the Eagle 11.
River (6-2) — which will
host Shadyside in the regional
semiﬁnal next Friday — got
the ball back after a threeand-out and needed six plays
to put points on the board.
Carter Dennis scored the
touchdown on a one-yard run,
and Zac Hocutt made his ﬁrst
of seven point-after kicks,
giving the hosts a 7-0 edge
with 6:20 left in the opening
period.
The Eagles’ next possession
started with its most successful play of the ﬁrst half,
with Colton Combs breaking
a 26-yard run. Eastern picked
up just one more yard before
punting, however, and River
took over on its own 34.

The Pilots navigated the
66 yards in eight plays, and
went up 14-0 with a 29-yard
touchdown pass from Brody
Lollathin to Michael Johnson
at the 2:17 mark of the ﬁrst
quarter.
The Eagles were picked off
on their next possession, and
RHS went up 21-0 on the ﬁrst
play of the second quarter, a
32-yard touchdown pass from
Lollathin to Johnson.
The duo connected for
another score with 1:46 left
in the half, this time from 26
yards out.
River added seven more
points and went into halftime
with a 35-0 lead, thanks to a

MOUNT ZION, W.Va. — Back on even ground.
After starting the year with three consecutive
losses, the Wahama football team reeled off its
fourth win in ﬁve outings following a wire-to-wire
45-14 victory over host Calhoun County in a Little
Kanawha Conference matchup on Friday night.
The White Falcons (4-4) used solid starts to
each half to help gain momentum, with the guests
outscoring the Red Devils (0-6) by a combined 22
points in the ﬁrst and third frames.
Aaron Henry scored three touchdowns for
WHS, which produced a season-high 377 rushing
yards on 63 attempts. Overall, the White Falcons
outgained CCHS by a 404-211 margin in total

at the 11:21 mark of the second period en route to
a 16-point cushion.
The Red Devils whittled the deﬁcit back down
to 16-6 with just under ﬁve minutes left in the
half, but Henry added his ﬁrst of three scores with
3:06 remaining for a 24-6 intermission advantage.
VanMatre tacked on his second TD run with
6:53 left in the third for 32-6 edge, then Henry
scored a little over a minute later for a 38-6 lead
with 5:27 showing.
Calhoun County closed the gap down to 38-14
with a score at the 7:30 mark of the fourth, but
Henry added his ﬁnal touchdown with 1:29 left in
regulation to wrap up the 31-point triumph.
Wahama claimed an 18-10 advantage in ﬁrst
downs and each squad committed two turnovers
apiece in the contest. WHS was ﬂagged 10 times
for 105 yards, while the hosts were penalized six
times for 35 yards.
VanMatre led the White Falcon rushing attack
with 120 yards on 17 carries, followed by Stewart with 89 yards on 11 attempts. Brennan Grate
added 66 yards on 14 totes, while Henry carried
the ball ﬁve times for 53 yards.
Andrew Roush completed 1-of-8 passes for 25
yards, including one pick and a 25-yard TD pass
to Henry. Roush also ran for 28 yards on nine
attempts.
Henry led the wideouts with one catch for 25

From page 1

Sondra Miller, president and CEO of the Cleveland Rape Center, whose agency was part of the
social services network prepared to aid the rescued
victims, said: “Survivors of rape and sex trafﬁcking
deserve to be believed and have access to justice.
By holding offenders accountable and reducing
demand for human trafﬁcking, this operation prevented many others from being harmed.”
Across southern Ohio, 76 missing and exploited
children cases were cleared, including 45 by physical recovery by the U.S. Marshal’s Service. Among
those missing included a 15-year-old girl missing
from Cleveland whose recovery linked her and
other possible victims to an individual in Columbus
suspected of human trafﬁcking; a 15-year-old male
with two warrants who is a suspect in multiple
shootings and a homicide; and a 14-year-old girl
who was reported missing by the Lancaster Police
Department who was recovered in Columbus within six hours of being reported missing.
“My thanks to all personnel who have stepped
up for this operation,” said Peter C. Tobin, U.S.
Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio. “These
are the same personnel who hunt down violent fugitives every day. I’m incredibly proud of them and
pleased that they were able to apply those same
skills to ﬁnding missing children. I know Operation Autumn Hope has made a difference in a lot of
young lives.”
The Mahoning Valley Human Trafﬁcking Task
Force and Franklin Count Sheriff’s Ofﬁce Internet
Crimes Against Children Task Force apprehended
22 individuals seeking to have sex with a minor.
Those arrested and charged with felony counts of
importuning, attempted unlawful sexual conduct
with a minor, possession of criminal tools and other
felony charges include a pastor, students, and a
rehabilitation resident advisor.
“These predators shamelessly target the most
innocent and defenseless members of our community,” said Franklin County Sheriff Dallas Baldwin.
“Operation Autumn Hope is sending a loud and
clear message: We are watching, we will catch you,
and we will protect our children.”
In Cuyahoga, Franklin and Lucas counties, 157
men were arrested on charges of soliciting and
other crimes – a component of Operation Autumn
Hope focused on reducing the demand for sex.
Those arrested were charged with soliciting and
other charges included a ﬁreman, an attorney and a
motivational speaker.
“The Dublin Police Department recognizes the
importance of collaborating with local, state and
federal agencies in order to rid our communities
of this painful exploitation of our fellow citizens,”
Dublin Chief of Police Justin Páez said. “Through
operations and efforts like this, we can hold people
accountable as well as bring justice and support to
victims of human trafﬁcking.”
