There are 143 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On August 10, 1993, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in as the second female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. On this date In 1821, Missouri became the 24th state. In 1861, Confederate forces routed Union troops in the Battle of Wilson’s Creek in Missouri, the first major engagement of the Civil War west of the Mississippi River. In 1944, during World War II, American forces overcame remaining Japanese resistance on Guam. In 1945, a day after the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, Imperial Japan conveyed its willingness to surrender provided the status of Emperor Hirohito remained unchanged. (The Allies responded the next day, saying they would determine the Emperor’s future status.) In 1969, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca were murdered in their Los Angeles home by members of Charles Manson’s cult, one day after actor Sharon Tate and four other people were slain. In 1977, postal employee David Berkowitz was arrested in Yonkers, New York, accused of being “Son of Sam,” the gunman who killed six people and wounded seven others in the New York City area. (Berkowitz is serving six consecutive 25-years-to-life sentences.) In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a measure providing $20,000 payments to still-living JapaneseAmericans who were interned by their government during World War II. In 1991, nine Buddhists were found slain at their temple outside Phoenix, Arizona. (Two teenagers were later arrested; one was sentenced to life in prison, while the other received 281 years.) In 1995, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were charged with 11 counts in the Oklahoma City bombing (McVeigh was convicted of murder and executed; Nichols was convicted of conspiracy and involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to life in prison). In 2006, British authorities announced they had thwarted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up 10 aircraft heading to the U.S. using explosives smuggled in hand luggage. In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein, accused of orchestrating a sextrafficking ring and sexually abusing dozens of underage girls, was found unresponsive in his cell at a New York City jail; he was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Ten years ago Marine Corps Gen. John Allen, the top American commander in Afghanistan, said international forces had slain the Taliban insurgents responsible for shooting down a U.S. helicopter, killing 30 Americans and seven Afghan commandos. Country singer-musician Billy Grammer, 85, died in Benton, Illinois. Five years ago During a raucous campaign rally outside Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Republican Donald Trump accused President Barack Obama of being the “founder” of the Islamic State group. (Trump later said he was “being sarcastic” before adding, “but not that sarcastic, to be honest with you.”) One year ago According to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University, the confirmed number of coronavirus cases worldwide had reached 20 million; the number had doubled in a little more than six weeks. Lebanon’s prime minister, Hassan Diab, said he and his government were stepping down, nearly a week after a catastrophic explosion in Beirut that triggered public outrage and mass protests. A wind storm packing the power of a Category 3 hurricane swept across the Midwest, damaging farms and homes; at least four people died in Iowa and Indiana, and hundreds of thousands were left without power.

Northern Virginia, which saw some of the biggest battles of the Civil War and for decades was an indisputable part of the South, is now one of the wealthiest regions in the country with waning ties to its Southern roots. As such, it has been swifter than other spots in the South to rid itself of Confederate names and memorials that dominated the region. A database maintained by the Southern Poverty Law Center shows nearly 2,300 roads, schools and monuments linked to the Confederacy spread across 23 states. In recent years, fewer than 400 have been removed or renamed.

(AP) — It came as a surprise to Mottrom Drive resident Beau Fitzpatrick that he lives on a street named for a Confederate soldier. “Really? I always assumed it was named for an apple, or apple juice,” he said, referring to the Mott’s brand of apple products. In fact the street in McLean, Virginia, not far from the nation’s capital, is named for Mottrom Dulany Ball, a captain in the Fairfax cavalry who was among the first Confederate officers taken prisoner in the Civil War. He became a Republican after the war and later a founding father of Alaska.

During the 2020-21 school year, the COVID-19 pandemic forced changes to several traditional state tournament venues. “We are very excited to announce these state tournament venues because of the experience they will give our student-athletes, schools and communities,” said Doug Ute, OHSAA Executive Director. “We would like to thank all those who operate these venues and have an important part in these partnerships and support of high school sports in Ohio.” The OHSAA individual wrestling state tournament will return to the Schottenstein Center at The Ohio State University for the next three years, with an option for a two-year extension. That event utilizes many areas of the arena, including the large warm-up gymnasium, and is one of the few venues in Ohio that is able to accommodate nine mats on the arena floor, which led to the expansion of the state tournament in 2000. More than 15,000 fans have regularly attended the semifinals and championships sessions. The OHSAA thanks Marengo Highland, Marion Harding and Hilliard Darby high schools for hosting the 2021 state tournament last March. The wrestling state tournament will start on Friday, March 11, 2022, and conclude that Sunday evening. The volleyball state tournament will return to the Nutter Center at Wright State University in Dayton. The 11,200-seat venue has hosted the volleyball state tournament since 1991, except for last year due to the pandemic. The OHSAA thanks Vandalia Butler High School for hosting the 2020 state tournament. The state tournament agreements with the Ohio State University Golf Club in Columbus and NorthStar Golf Club in Sunbury have been extended for the next two years, while the agreement with the Lindner Family Tennis Center in Mason, home of the prestigious Western and Southern Open, has been extended for the next three years to host the OHSAA girls and boys tennis state tournaments.

A giant flag will be unfurled on the Eiffel Tower in Paris Sunday as part of the handover ceremony of Tokyo 2020 to Paris 2024, as Paris will be the next Summer Games host in 2024. The passing of the hosting baton will be split between the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo and a public party and concert in Paris. Summer Olympics on to Paris next By John Leicester Associated Press TOKYO — They’ll always have Paris. That thought, full of promise, has been a lifebuoy for athletes to cling to as they coped, as best they could, with thickets of restrictions at the pandemic-hit Tokyo Games that severely crimped their Olympic experience — and left some hungry for more. Barred from bringing family and friends with them to Japan, playing in empty arenas and not allowed to sightsee in Tokyo, some athletes found themselves daydreaming about the French capital’s Olympic rendezvous in 2024. If the coronavirus is tamed by then, the Paris Games could quickly become the party games. Already, there is palpable pent-up eagerness among athletes to make up for Tokyo and its disappointments. “When Paris happens, I’ll be like, ‘OK, wow, like this is a whole new energy. This is it,’” said U.S. skateboarder Mariah Duran. “Maybe I had to have the appetizer before the whole meal.” For now, Paris officials say they’re betting that the pandemic will be over when their turn comes. “Normally, we’ll be able to party,” the city’s mayor, Anne Hidalgo, said Sunday on French TV when Tokyo passed the baton. But if the coronavirus is still ruining the best- laid plans, then Tokyo has served up a model of how to hold an Olympics even as infections are surging. It pared the games down to their most essential ingredient: competition. No spectators. No citywide partying. Very little mingling between Olympians and their hosts. Paris officials were watching closely and say that while they hope for the best, they’ll also plan for the worst. Toughest for many Tokyo Olympians was not being accompanied to Japan by loved ones who had no choice but to watch them compete on TV. American surfer Carissa Moore said it was “a huge challenge” being separated from her husband and his “strong constant voice.” Moore ultimately found her footing to win gold in surfing’s debut as an Olympic sport. As painful as separation was, Tokyo was also a learning experience for the Hawaiian. “I’m very proud of myself, to be here and stand on my own two feet,” she said. Traveling without her parents for the first time at age 17, U.S. skateboarder Brighton Zeuner compensated by staying closely connected even during her competition, video-calling her father from the Olympic skate bowl “between every single run I did.” To limit infection risks, organizers also asked athletes to arrive in Tokyo no earlier than five days before competing and leave within 48 hours of being done — a rapid turnaround that further truncated the Olympic experience. Belgian skateboarder Axel Cruysberghs, who competed in week one, and his skateboarding wife Lizzie Armanto, who competed in week two, passed each other like ships in the night. As she took off for Tokyo, his flight back to their home was 20 minutes from landing. “It worked out for our puppy,” she joked. But it wasn’t the fairy-tale Olympics they’d planned before the pandemic. “We’d hoped to like be here for a month together and, you know, I could see his event and he could stay for mine,” Armanto said. “But because of COVID and everything ... “ Armanto came away from Tokyo having not made up her mind about whether she wants to go again in Paris. In an Instagram livestream from the Olympic residential compound where athletes were largely confined when not training or competing, she was wrestling with cabin fever, complaining of rooms that “feel a little prison-like” and wishing that organizers hadn’t barred athletes from going to watch sports other than their own in their downtime. “I’ve circled the perimeter quite a few times because what else do you do here?” Armanto asked. Not being able to pass the time at sports venues was a common complaint. “That’s something I would have liked to have experienced as an Olympian, to go watch my other teammates, other than wrestlers, compete,” said Elias Kuosmanen of Finland, who wrestled in the Greco-Roman heavyweight class. At the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Canadian volleyball player Nicholas Hoag took in gymnastics and track and field on off days, went out for drinks with teammates and otherwise absorbed the Olympic experience. But on days with no matches in Tokyo, “I was watching TV pretty much all day, watching all the sports.” Another Canadian volleyballer, Ryan Sclater, said the pandemic games were “a real mix of amazing things and weird things” and somewhat blunted by social distancing and mask wearing. Athletes were asked not to mingle outside their teams and avoid “unnecessary” hugs, high-fives and handshakes — guidance they frequently ignored in the heat and joy of competition. “We are not quite connecting in the same way that we normally could,” Sclater said. “It’s funny being so close to all these amazing people who are here to compete but then not quite getting to know them in the same way as you might at a different Olympics.” �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, August 10, 2021 5 Having A Yard Sale?

As for the NFL itself, Manning urged anyone involved in the league to “ignite the future of the sport. If not, we are not doing football justice. It is about nurturing football to live another day, another year ... The future of this game is ours to shape.” His fellow entrants into the hall shape up pretty nicely in the pro football pantheon. Flores, the first man to win Super Bowls as a player, assistant coach and head coach, was a backup quarterback for the Chiefs in the fourth Super Bowl, a Raiders assistant to John Madden in the 11th, and head coach when the Raiders won the 15th and 18th games. Flores, of Mexican descent, long ago became a hero to the Latino community, a symbol of success on and off the field. He emphasized the importance of passion on the road to success. “You don’t get there alone,” he said. “It doesn’t happen in a vacuum. A lot of people helped me ... Raider Nation is everywhere.” So is Steeler Nation, particularly this weekend when five members of the organization were inducted. Faneca overcame bouts with epilepsy to become one of the premier offensive linemen in the NFL; he takes daily pills to deal with his condition and has not had a seizure in about eight years. “Instinctively I knew I was not going to allow anything to prevent me from fulfilling my dream,” he said. “Epilepsy is part of me, but that does not define me. We are in charge of our destiny. Woodson, who is from Ohio — though he went to Michigan — began by singing praise for his mother, who presented him. “I love my mama, man,” Woodson said, his eyes welling up. “look no further than my mama to know where I get it from: the passion, the hard work. It comes from my mama.” Woodson was 1998 Defensive Rookie of the Year with Oakland and won Defensive Player of the Year honors 11 years later as a Packer. He also won a Super Bowl with Green Bay. Johnson, just 35 — only Jim Brown and Gale Sayers were younger inductees — finished his nine-year career with 731 receptions for 11,619 yards and 83 TDs. He explained how, despite his seemingly indestructible nickname of Megatron, he played nearly all of his career in pain. “I still made up my mind I’d be the most dominant receiver in the NFL,” said. Lynch, a finalist for seven years before getting the call, who won a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay and also starred with Denver for four seasons after 11 with the Bucs. He was the key to the Tampa-2 defense, a “coach on the field” according to his former coach, Tony Dungy, and one of the surest tackler the NFL has seen. “What a privilege to be inducted in this brotherhood,” Lynch said. “It takes a lot of belief to get to this stage. However, belief has to be nurtured time and time again. One person can make a difference. I encourage each and every one of you to be that person.” Pearson was a standout receiver for Dallas from 1973-83, a threetime All-Pro who made the NFL’s 1970s AllDecade Team. He was the only position player from that squad not in the hall. Pearson, of course, caught Roger Staubach’s winning touchdown pass in a 1975 playoff game at Minnesota that is considered the original Hail Mary. But he should be recognized for 557 catches, including postseason, for nearly 9,000 yards and 56 touchdowns. “It’s not about how long it takes to get here,” Pearson said, “but more about how you wait. My wait was supported by my faith.” The late Nunn was among America’s most prominent Black sports journalists before going to work for the Steelers and mining the historically Black colleges for talent. He was as much a contributor to the Pittsburgh dynasty as the players he discovered, which included Hall of Famers John Stallworth, Mel Blount and Donnie Shell. ____ More AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/ hub/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Ohio Valley Publishing Players, coaches pay tribute to Bowden Tech coach Frank Bobby Bowden’s Ralph D.

At this point in his career, Bowden’s program was slipping from its lofty heights. After a record 14 straight seasons finishing ranked in the top five of the AP poll, the Seminoles reached 10 victories just once from 2001-04. Crossing paths with Bowden over the years or calling him at home, I found it remarkable how he never seemed to forget a name or a face. Of course, he called everybody “Buddy,” so maybe he wasn’t so good with the names. Whatever the case, it didn’t matter if you had met him before. He treated everyone like an old friend. “He was so normal,” said Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher, who succeeded Bowden at FSU. “He could make you feel like you knew him for 20 years in the first two minutes you ever talked to him.” Classifieds LEGALS ANNOUNCEMENTS Legals Wanted 7KH 9LOODJH RI 3RPHUR\ LV DFFHSWLQJ VHDOHG ELGV IRU 5HVLGHQWLDO 6ROLG :DVWH &ROOHFWLRQ� %LG SDFNHWV PD\ EH SLFNHG XS DW WKH 9LOODJH +DOO GXULQJ UHJXODU EXVLQHVV KRXUV� %LGV PXVW EH VXEPLW� WHG WR WKH 3RPHUR\ 0D\RU V 2IILFH QR ODWHU WKDQ 2FWREHU �WK E\ ����SP� 7KH 9LOODJH UHVHUYHVWKH ULJKW WR DFFHSW RU UHMHFW DQ\ DQG DOO ELGV� 3KRQH ������������ 2SWLRQ �� IRU PRUH GHWDLOV�� /DQG SDUFHO ���� DFUHV ZDQWHG ZLWK DFFHVV WR UXUDO FRXQW\ ZDWHU FDOO &KULV ������������ EMPLOYMENT Help Wanted General HVAC Company in Gallia County /RRNLQJ IRU KDUG ZRUNHU ZLWK H[SHULHQFH RU ZLOO WUDLQ ULJKW SHUVRQ� :LOO SD\ JRRG IRU NQRZOHGJH� ,I LQWHUHVWHG FDOO ������������ LI QR DQVZHU OHDYH QDPH DQG QXPEHU we will call you back.

With experience of donations vocalized but unfulfilled, McCormick said he was afraid to get his hopes up, but then a check appeared. The currently-anonymous donor is donating $250,000 over a three-year-period, covering half of the needed costs. Staff have been rebuilding the museum’s website to keep things as up to date as possible McCormick said. There has also been a monthly donor option added. “We’re hoping that local people and people who love history, in general, can realize they can afford just five dollars a month,” periods. “Our area was an occupied town. We have a Civil War history that’s rarely been told,” McCormick said. The museum’s building is owned by the City of Point Pleasant. The insurance settlement helped get the rebuild moving. As previously reported by the Register, the budget for the physical construction of the structure was estimated at around $1.89 million. The museum interior and equipment are being funded through donations and fundraisers, something McCormick said has slowed down. “[We are] still a little tight on funds,” McCormick said. “We are working on an extremely tight budget, reduced hours to four days a week. We are trying very hard.

He referenced different military museums’ attractions. “Every base has a museum, what’s cool is when you go in it’s an experience,” McCormick said. “What continues to draw people is the experience.” He said the plan is to be able to take visitors through the town’s history over different time 8 PM Daily Sentinel Clendenin 88/72 Charleston 88/71 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
