Gov. DeWine has
been pleading for
action on gun violence
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — As Gov. Mike DeWine uses his twice-weekly bully pulpit to detail
Ohio’s ﬁght against the coronavirus, the Republican chief executive has also continued his so-far
unsuccessful crusade against gun violence.
After laying out pandemic stats and and warnings about masks and social distancing safety
measures, the governor typically also pleads with
fellow Republican lawmakers to act on his legislation addressing gun violence in the state, although
he skipped that routine this Tuesday.
He proposed the measure last year in the wake
of the Dayton mass shooting that killed nine people and injured more than two dozen.
“We should all be sick and tired of picking up
the newspaper and seeing the things that we see
literally every single day — our fellow Ohioans
injured or killed through senseless violence,”
DeWine said on Oct. 6, noting at least 42 people
had been shot in the past week and more than half
died.
He’s made similar points week after week, usually on Tuesdays, though this Tuesday was an
exception as he cut his normally 90-minute briefing to an hour to begin brainstorming calls with
leaders of three Ohio counties seeing high rates
of coronavirus spread. The governor wanted to
leave plenty of time for reporters’ questions, said
spokesman Dan Tierney. As far as the governor’s
gun violence message, “he’s done it on different
days each week,” Tierney said.
So far, Republican leaders remain cool to DeWine’s pleas. House Speaker Bob Cupp, a Lima

LONG BOTTOM
— A ceremony commemorating the 250th
Anniversary of George
Washington’s journey

bers, favor some of
DeWine’s concepts but
don’t have the numbers
to help the measure
pass. And some felt
the governor didn’t go
far enough, such as
including a “red ﬂag”
law to restrict ﬁrearms
for people perceived as
threats.
A key element of the
governor’s “STRONG
Ohio” proposal is boosting penalties for felons
committing new crimes
with guns. The need
has only grown more
dire since then, DeWine
said. The proposal also
increases and improves
background checks for
people seeking to buy a
gun or take ownership
through a transfer, and
would give judges the
ability to hand down
tougher sentences for
felons found guilty of
possessing weapons.
The proposal has had
three hearings in the

Senate Government
Oversight &amp; Reform
Committee, but none
since December.
The bill’s Republican
sponsor, Sen. Matt
Dolan of Cleveland,
said he remains optimistic something could
happen during this
year’s post-election
lame duck session.
“This is not an
attack on the 2nd
Amendment,” Dolan
said. Instead, he said
it’s making sure that
violent or mentally ill
people who are legally
prohibited from owning
a gun don’t get ahold of
weapons.
Obhof also said boosting law enforcement
efforts can help address
gun violence.
“There are a number
of issues that we’re
either working on, or
have worked on, or
have already passed
that relate to these top-

ics,” Obhof said.
The debate comes
as killings by guns
and non-fatal shootings are spiking across
Ohio and around the
country, with the violence blamed on record
unemployment because
of the pandemic, frustration over state stayat-home orders, and
anger at cases of police
brutality and racial
injustice.
In Columbus, Ohio’s
capital and largest city,
homicides are on track
to top the record of
143 set three years ago.
Cincinnati’s homicide
rate is also running well
ahead of last year’s and
is also on track to beat
the all-time high of 86
nearly 15 years ago.
The number of Cincinnati shootings is also
way up: at least 405 so
far this year compared
to 294 at the same time
last year.

to Government, to entertain a brotherly affection
and love for one another,
for their fellow citizens
of the United States at

for their brethren who

would most graciously
be pleased to dispose

to love mercy, and to

NATIONAL
FIRE PREVENTION
MONTH Celebrating our Local Firefighters
D

eadly wildfires
ravaged thousands
upon thousands of
acres of land across
California in the summer of
2018. Officials at the California

Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection said these combined fires
comprised the largest wildlands fire
in state history. Frightening images
of blazes consuming landscapes
dominated newscasts as thousands
of people were forced to evacuate.
Wildfires torch everything in their
paths, devastating communities,
businesses and natural resources.
Outbreaks seems to come out of
nowhere, and meteorologists are not
yet able to forecast when wildfires
may occur.

It is important to note that
wildfires are often started
by humans. The National
Park Service says as many
as 90 percent of wildland
fires in the United States
are caused by negligence —

whether it’s discarded cigarette
butts or campfires left unattended.
Some are intentional acts of arson.
Nature also may be responsible, with
lighting strikes causing torching of
parched plants and trees. When
combined with the perfect
conditions, which can include dry
weather, drought and strong winds,
a mere spark can develop into a
months-long blaze.

actually supposed to be beneficial to
certain natural landscapes, clearing
underbrush in forests and triggering
the release of seeds in some plant
species, such as the Jack pine.
When they encroach on people, their
danger intensifies.

PREPARE
Install smoke alarms on every
level of your home, as well as
inside and outside every
sleeping area.

According to Cal Fire, Santa Ana
Winds and Diablo Winds are
stronger-than-normal wind
conditions that occur in Southern
and Northern California, respectively.
These winds can push a fire the
length of a football field in a minute.
Embers also pushed in front of fires
become small spot fires. Powerful
winds can disrupt efforts to
extinguish fires, dissipating fire
retardants dropped by aircraft.

Considering how difficult it can be to
contain fires, prevention remains
key. Remember Smokey Bear’s tips,
which remain relevant for kids and
adults today:

“God’s a safe-house for the battered.
You’re never sorry you knocked.”

Eagles spoil
Senior Night
for RedStorm
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — Senior Night for the
University of Rio Grande volleyball team got off to
a good start with the recognition of four players
and a subsequent opening set win.
But the visitors from Midway University then
went about the process of spoiling the festivities.
The Eagles pulled away late to win set two, outlasted their host in set three and never trailed in
set four to post a 3-1 (23-25, 25-20, 31-29, 25-19)
victory over the RedStorm, Friday night, in River
States Conference play at the Newt Oliver Arena.
Midway improved to 12-3 overall and 8-2 in the
RSC with the win.
Rio Grande fell to 7-5 overall and 4-4 in league
play.
The RedStorm trailed 17-14 in the opening set
after a kill by Midway’s Kaylee Criswell before
running off 10 of the next 14 winners to take a
24-21 lead.
The Eagles scored each of the next two points
to close the deﬁcit to one and had the serve, but
Brooke Trompler’s offering went into the net to
give Rio the win and the early match lead.
Midway led for much of the second stanza
before the RedStorm used a 5-0 scoring spurt to
forge a 20-20 deadlock.
The Eagles rebounded, though, scoring the ﬁnal
ﬁve points of the set on a trio of kills, a service ace
and a Rio attack error to even the match at 1-1.
Set three was a marathon which featured 13 ties
and ﬁve lead changes.
Rio Grande failed to take advantage of a pair of
set point scenarios, while Midway misﬁred on four
chances to grab the match lead before scoring the
ﬁnal two points of the period on consecutive kills
by Alysha Tullar and Trompler to go in front.
The Eagles parlayed their new-found momentum in the fourth stanza, grabbing a quick 4-1 lead
and never trailing the rest of the way.
Rio Grande did manage to knot the score at
5-5, but Midway responded with a 5-1 run to take
a lead it would never relinquish. The advantage
reached as many as eight points late in the set.
Tullar and Trompler had 16 and 13 kills, respectively, to lead Midway while Raegan Stevens had
11 of her own in the winning effort. Trompler also
added 16 digs and three service aces, while Tullar had 11 digs and two aces and Stevens ﬁnished
with two solo blocks and a block assist.
The Eagles also received 27 assists from Annessa Roysdon, 22 assists from Wilani Velazquez and
a match-high 33 digs from Mariana Rodriguez.
