Bird enthusiasts were also asked to pull their bird feeders and stop feeding their feathered friends to potentially slow and stop the issue. In September, the Ohio Division of Wildlife announced via its website, it was lifting its previous recommendation to stop feeding birds. However, a news released stressed “caution and vigilance are always necessary to help prevent further spread of diseases at bird feeders.” The news released further stated, “Reports See BIRD | 12 Stephens and Jay Edwards, would give ﬁrst priority to lower wealth counties,” stated the release. “The initiative is modeled after Ohio’s successful stateassisted school facilities program, which has helped local schools with school construction projects for more than 20 years.” The bill’s supporters include the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and the See JAIL | 12 FDA panel debates lower-dose Moderna shots for booster By Lauran Neergaard and Matthew Perrone Associated Press U.S. health advisers are debating if millions of Americans who received Moderna vaccinations should get a booster shot — this time, using half the original dose. Already millions who got their initial Pﬁzer shots at least six months ago are getting a booster of that brand. Thursday, advisers to the Food and Drug Administration evaluated the evidence that Moderna boosters should be offered, too — and on Friday, they’ll tackle the same question for those who got Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine. U.S. ofﬁcials stress that the priority is to get shots to the 66 million unvaccinated Americans who are eligible for immunization — those most at risk as the extra-contagious delta variant of the coronavirus has burned across the country. “It’s important to remember that the vaccines still provide strong protection against serious outcomes” such as hospitalization and death from COVID-19, said FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks.

Fall fun on the Glassburn Farm An Autumn attraction By Lorna Hart Special to OVP BIDWELL , Ohio — As Aimee Glassburn looks out onto the ﬁelds, cattle, and horses surrounding her, she recounts that the property has been in her family since 1843. “I grew up farming,” Glassburn said. “My family has a long tradition of farming, and we love it, the cattle, the crops… it is hard work, but rewarding.” Now the family has added a new element to a portion of their farm, appropriately named the Glassburn’s Fun Farm. Glassburn said her youngest daughter Laura, who is affectionately known as Woota, loved going to fall activities such as corn mazes. “The farm activities were always so much fun, but they were expensive to attend, so we decided to turn one of our ﬁelds Miley Jarrell and Emma Vollborn enjoying an afternoon at Glassburn’s Fun Farm. into a place where families, including our own, could come and have fun at an affordable price.” She began the project in 2017, along with her father James Glassburn and husband Michael O’Bryan. They have added new activities each year, all built by O’Bryan, and the farm now includes four culvert slides and rollers, a hay maze, a corn maze, and a tire maze, a corn pit, sandbox, pedal car track, spider web rope to climb, duck racing, pumpkin bowling, and a pick your own pumpkin patch. “He has built everything,” Aimee said. “We put all the money from our admission fees back into the farm. That way we can add on without raising prices and accomplish one of our goals, keeping the Farm affordable for families.” She said this has also allowed many families to come multiple times in one season. “They have so much fun and they want to come back, and now they can afford to,” she said. “It is such a great way to spend a day with your family, there is something for all ages, See FALL | 12 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, October 15, 2021 OBITUARIES JANE M.

IN BRIEF At least 46 killed in Taiwanese apartment building inferno KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan (AP) — At least 46 people were killed and another 41 injured after a ﬁre broke out early Thursday in a run-down mixed commercial and residential building in the Taiwanese port city of Kaohsiung, ofﬁcials said. Neighborhood residents said the 13-story building was home to many poor, elderly and disabled people and it wasn’t clear how many of the 120 units were occupied. Witnesses said they heard something that sounded like an explosion at about 3 a.m. when the blaze erupted in the building’s lower ﬂoors, which housed a closed movie theater, abandoned restaurants and karaoke clubs.

Ohio Valley Publishing Democrats narrowly best GOP in House campaign fundraising By Jill Colvin and Will Weissert Associated Press WASHINGTON — The fundraising committee aiming to help Democrats maintain control of the House said Thursday it raised $106.5 million through the end of last month, narrowly edging the $105 million its Republican counterpart announced collecting over the same period. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said it had its best third quarter ever for an off-election year, taking in $38.5 million between July 1 and Sept. 30. Its latest haul included $14.5 million in September alone. That announcement came mere hours after the National Republican Congressional Committee called its nine-month haul a 74% increase over last cycle, noting that it raised $25.8 million just in the third quarter. The group said it now has $65 million cash on hand, nearly triple what it had at this time two years ago. The Democratic committee reported slightly less in its campaign coffers, saying it had $63 million in cash on hand. The impressive off-year fundraising by both parties is yet another indication of how hotly contested the 2022 elections will be — when Republicans have vowed to erase Democrats’ narrow control of both chambers of Congress. Rep. John Yarmuth, the lone Democratic member of Congress from Kentucky and chair of the inﬂuential House Budget Committee, said this week that he won’t seek reelection. Though both parties have seen members of Congress announce their retirements or plans to leave their seats to run for other ofﬁces, the loss of a high-ranking Democrat has sparked speculation that the party could be facing further political headwinds next year. “House Democrats are sprinting toward the exits because they know their days in the majority are numbered and we look forward to keeping up the pressure,” Tom Emmer, chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement. Republicans say their ﬁgures show a party energized heading into the midterms, as President Joe Biden’s popularity wanes and with history on their side. The president’s party almost always loses seats in midterm elections. The Democrats’ congressional fundraising arm announced last month that it had raised $10 million in August — besting the Republican House campaign committee’s $6.5 million. But the NRCC outraised the Democratic House committee $45.4 million to $36.5 million through the year’s second quarter, which ended June 30. The NRCC’s total announced Thursday includes $19.4 million transferred from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, $10.3 million from House Minority Whip Steve Scalise and $1.2 million from Elise Stefanik, who earlier this year replaced Rep. Liz Cheney, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, as the House Republican Conference chair. The Democratic committee did not immediately announce how much of its fundraising totals came from transfers from the campaign accounts of other top party leaders.

Vets bring pet euthanasia home NEW YORK (AP) — Clarence the giant schnauzer came into Penny Wagner’s life as a puppy nearly eight years ago, at a traumatic time for her family. She and her husband, Steve, had recently lost their 21-year-old daughter in a car accident. Soon after, their other child went off to college and Steve returned to work, leaving Penny home alone with her grief. That’s when they brought Clarence into the family. Earlier this year, the beloved pet became critically ill with advanced kidney disease. Their veterinarian wouldn’t allow them to stay with him until the end at the clinic due to COVID protocols, so they decided to have him put down at home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in a favorite laundry room spot. A vet working with a company called Pet Loss at Home arrived and greeted Clarence and the Wagners. She gave the couple all the time they needed before administering two injections, one to relax the 90-pound dog and the other to let him go. The couple cuddled him as they cried, and their other dog, Cooper, was able to say goodbye as well. “He’ll always have a special place in my heart,” said a tearful Wagner. “I think he was very comforted by the fact that he was home and that he was with loved ones up to the moment we said goodbye.” Private services that offer home euthanasia for pets have been busier than ever since the pandemic led to restrictions on humans inside veterinary practices and animal hospitals. But home euthanasia isn’t for everybody. It tends to cost more, and some pet owners believe it is unduly upsetting to small children and other pets in their households. The vast majority of pet euthanasia is still done in a clinical setting, though some vets have begun to offer end-of-life care at home as part of their practices. For Wagner, the human touch was a gift. The same is true of Diane Brisson, 72, in Pinellas Park, Florida. Brisson used Lap of Love when it came time to bid farewell to Champagne, her 12-year-old Yorkie, last December. Champagne was the only dog her mother, since passed, enjoyed. Champagne fell critically ill with pancreatitis and other organ failure, and Brisson couldn’t bring herself to leave him at the vet alone at the end. “I couldn’t have asked for anything more peaceful,” she said. Lap of Love allowed her to have a neighbor with her for support. The neighbor took photos as Champagne sat in Brisson’s lap in a favorite chair, the only piece of furniture she brought from her hometown in Massachusetts when she moved to Florida. The vet waited patiently until Brisson was ready to let go. The doctor placed Champagne in a small wicker basket with a white satin pillow and a lavender satin blanket after he passed to take him away for cremation. “I stayed with him for about 20, 25 minutes and said, ‘OK, you’re going to be with nanny now. You’re going to watch over me with her and you’re going to take care of her up there, and she’s going to take care of you,’” Brisson tearfully recalled. Beth Sergent | OVP The mountains of West Virginia are popping with fall color, attracting tourists to places like Blackwater Falls State Park, pictured here, for “leaf peeping.” This photo, taken on Saturday, shows leaves beginning to turn above the falls. According to a Fall Foliage Map shared by the West Virginia Department of Tourism, expect Mason County’s leaves to be at full peak color late this month. According to the Ohio Division of Forestry, fall color is peaking in the Hocking Hills area now while leaves are only classified as being in a “changing” stage in Southeast Ohio. Nursing schools see applications rise STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Nurses around the U.S. are getting burned out by the COVID-19 crisis and quitting, yet applications to nursing schools are rising, driven by what educators say are young people who see the global emergency as an opportunity and a challenge. Among them is University of Connecticut sophomore Brianna Monte, a 19-year-old from Mahopac, New York, who had been considering majoring in education but decided on nursing after watching nurses care for her 84-yeargrandmother, who was diagnosed last year with COVID-19 and also had cancer. “They were switching out their protective gear in between every patient, running like crazy trying to make sure all of their patients were attended to,” she said. “I had that moment of clarity that made me want to jump right in to health care and join the workers on the front line.” Nationally, enrollment in bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral nursing programs increased 5.6% in 2020 from the year before to just over 250,000 students, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. Figures for the current 2021-22 school year won’t be available until January, but administrators say they have continued to see a spike in interest. The University of Michigan nursing school reported getting about 1,800 applications for 150 freshman slots this fall, compared with about 1,200 in 2019. Marie Nolan, executive vice dean of the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing in Baltimore, said it has seen its biggest number of applicants ever, many of them applying even before a vaccine was available, despite her worries that COVID-19 would scare off students. Students at those and other schools have been able to gain valuable hands-on experience during the pandemic, doing COVID-19 testing and contact tracing and working at community vaccination clinics. “We’ve said to the students, ‘This is a career opportunity that you’ll never see again,’” Nolan said. Emma Champlin, a ﬁrst-year nursing student at Fresno State, said that like many of her classmates, she saw the pandemic as a chance to learn critical-care skills and then apply them.

The higher enrollment could help ease a nursing shortage that existed even before COVID-19. But it has brought its own problems: The increase, combined with the departure of too many experienced nurses whose job is to help train students, has left many nursing programs without the ability to expand. The rise is happening even as hospital leaders around the U.S. report that thousands of nurses have quit or retired during the outbreak, many of them exhausted and demoralized because of the pressure of caring for the dying, hostility from patients and families, and the frustration in knowing that many deaths were preventable by way of masks and vaccinations. Eric Kumor saw many of his nursing colleagues from a COVID19 unit in Lansing, Michigan, transfer or take other jobs this past spring when the pandemic’s third wave began to hit. He followed them out the door in July. Clendenin 83/62 Charleston 84/61 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation. Temperature bands are highs for the day.

RACINE, Ohio — A thriller to the end. Eastern volleyball rallied back from a 2-1 match deﬁcit and spoiled Senior Night festivities for host Southern on Tuesday night during a 25-18, 14-25, 14-25, 25-23, 15-9 decision in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup. Both the Lady Tornadoes (10-9, 5-6 TVC Hocking) and the visiting Lady Eagles (12-9, 9-3) traded leads throughout each of the ﬁve sets, including three ties and a pair of lead changes in the early portions of Game 5. After SHS built a 2-0 edge, the Green and White countered by permanently breaking away from a 4-all tie and secured their largest lead by the end of the match. EHS also produced ﬁve of the six kills and 2-of-3 blocks in the ﬁnale. Eastern claimed a season sweep of the Purple and Gold after posting a 3-0 win in Tuppers Plains back on Sept. 16. Megan Maxon led the Lady Eagles with 10 service points, followed by Sydney Reynolds, Juli Durst and Brielle Newland with seven service points apiece. Kassidy Chaney paced SHS with 18 service points, with Marlo Norris and Emilee Barber respectively adding 11 and eight points in the setback. Southern honored seniors Brooke Crisp, Jacelynn Northup, Kelly Shaver, Kayla Evans, Kelsey Lewis, Logan Greenlee and Cassidy Roderus before the match. Blue Angels win another title IRONTON, Ohio — Gallia Academy clinched its seventh straight outright Ohio Valley Conference championship on Wednesday following a 25-20, 25-14, 25-10 victory over host Ironton. The Blue Angels (17-4, 13-0 See EAGLES | 8 Rio men 3rd in RSC preseason poll UCF next for unbeaten Bearcats By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing CINCINNATI (AP) — Cincinnati moved up to the No. 3 spot in the AP Top 25 this week, the highest ranking in school history. The challenge now will be staying there without another chance for a marquee win. The Bearcats (5-0, 1-0 AAC) are trying to become the ﬁrst team outside the Power Five conferences to break into the College Football Playoff. But a lot of things could happen in the next seven weeks, most of them out of Cincinnati’s control. With quality wins over Indiana and Notre Dame, the Bearcats get into their less formidable American Athletic Conference schedule and don’t play a team that is currently ranked until No. 23 SMU on Nov. 20. Cincinnati will likely need big scores to keep getting attention and poll points, with Oklahoma, Alabama and Ohio State lined up behind them. The slate starts Saturday against Gus Malzahnled Central Florida (3-3, 1-1), a team that’s given the Bearcats ﬁts the past couple of years. Cincinnati has slipped by the Knights by just three points in each of their last two meetings. Talent-wise, the Bearcats’ window to make a run at a national title is still wide open. They’ve got an experienced, exciting dual-threat quarterback in senior Desmond Ridder, a hot running back in junior Jerome Ford and one of the top defenses in the country. “You turn this ﬁlm on, they’ll wake you up in a hurry when you watch them,” said Malzahn, the ﬁrst-year Knights coach who won a national championship at Auburn in 2013. Handling the hypre The No. 3 ranking is the highest for Cincinnati since it reached No. 4 twice during the 2009 season. One of coach Luke Fickell’s concerns is keeping the players focused on playing football amid the extra attention they’re getting from all over this week. “The recognition that they deserve and they’re getting is awesome,” Fickell said. “It’s something we’ve had in the past couple couple of years but, you know, nothing quite like this. It’s a time for us to grow maturity-wise and be able to handle it.” Fickell, a former Ohio State player and assistant coach, insisted he ignores the polls and hype, but he knows the players don’t. “I do want to make sure that’s a part of the program that we’ve got to be aware of,” he said of See UCF | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Oct. 15 Football Athens at River Valley, 7 p.m. Ironton at Gallia Academy, 7 p.m. Belpre at Eastern, 7 p.m. Wahama at Wirt County, 7:30 Point Pleasant at Wyoming East, ppd.

The RedStorm received one ﬁrst-place vote and 155 points in the overall balloting of the league’s 14 head coaches. In the East Division voting, second year head coach Ryan Arrowood’s club picked up two ﬁrst-place nods and 75 points. Rio Grande also had a pair of preseason allconference selections in junior forward Shiloah Blevins (South Webster, OH), last year’s RSC Player of the Year, and sophomore guard Miki Tadic (Hilversum, The Netherlands), who was named the conference Newcomer of the Year for 2020-21. Blevins averaged 17.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, while earning Honorable Mention All-American kudos. Tadic averaged 17.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and connected on a teambest 66 three-point goals before missing the ﬁnal ﬁve games of the season as a result of a shoulder injury. Rio is coming off a 16-10 ﬁnish and its ﬁrst national tournament appearance in 18 years. The RedStorm fell to Indiana University South Bend in the tourney’s opening round. Defending conference champion WVU Tech, which toppled Rio Grande in the conference tournament title game, is the preseason favorite. The Golden Bears received nine of a possible 13 ﬁrst-place votes and 173 total points. WVU Tech, which made it to the second round of the NAIA National Championship, has preseason allconference picks Tamon Scruggs (F) and Andreas Jonsson (G) — as well as several other key players — coming back. The Golden Bears also led the East Division voting with nine ﬁrst-place selections and 86 points.

Indiana University Kokomo was picked second overall and ﬁrst in the West Division of the poll. The Cougars, who received two ﬁrst-place votes and 158 total points, return a pair of preseason selections with Trequan Spivey (G) and Desean Hampton (F). IUK had 12 of a possible 13 ﬁrst-place votes to win their side of the conference. Behind Rio Grande in fourth place was Indiana University East, which received the remaining two ﬁrst-place votes and 151 points in the polling. The Red Wolves were one point behind Rio Grande in the East Division balloting. Alice Lloyd College rounded out the top ﬁve overall with 130 points, while spots 6-10 were ﬁlled by Indiana University Southeast (129 pts.), Point Park (111 pts.), Midway (97 pts.), Oakland City (90 pts.) and Ohio Christian (70 pts.), respectively. The ﬁnal four positions were taken by, in order, Ohio Valley University (67 pts.), Brescia (59 pts.), Carlow (35 pts.) and St. Mary-of-theWoods (33 pts.). Point Park (57 pts.), Ohio Christian (37 pts.), Ohio Valley (35 pts.) and Carlow (19 pts.) completed the East Division list, with Alice Lloyd (73 pts.), IU Southeast (70 pts.), Midway (52 pts.), Oakland City (49 pts.), Brescia (32 pts.) and St. Mary-of-the-Woods (19 pts.) rounding out the West Division. Alice Lloyd and IU Southeast received one ﬁrst-place vote each. Completing the 10-player preseason AllRSC team were Donnie Miller (G) and Kwon Evans (F) from Midway, Alice Lloyd’s Noah Young (G) and Nathan Schmittler (C) of Oakland City.

He has 1,304 yards and 12 touchdowns with a 65.5% completion rate through ﬁve games this season. He’s piled up more then 8,200 passing yards with 69 TDs in his career. Part of his role as a leader, he said, involves trying to impress upon his teammates the magnitude of the opportunity. “Just putting that mindset in everyone that this is a blessing that we get to do this — so why not do it as hard as we can?” Ridder said. “I think that’s one thing I try to push the team to go out every day and do.” The new kid Freshman Mikey Keene has been running the Knights’ offense since Hawaii transfer Dillon Gabriel was lost for the season with a broken clavicle last month. Keene got his second start last week and threw for 194 yards in UCF’s 20-16 win over East Carolina. “It was his second game, ﬁrst home game, and for a young quarterback a lot of times there’s more pressure at home than there is on the road,” Malzahn said. “So I was really excited at how he handled himself.

The second-year quarterback got hit in the throat at some point and it affected his ability to talk. Burrow, who is playing on a surgically repaired left knee, has been sacked an average of three times per game in his career. The biggest hit Burrow took against Green Bay appeared to be when he ran on a third-and-long and was tackled by two defenders. Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor told Burrow he should not have put himself in that position.

When the child is ﬁrst born, they watch their offspring while he is sleeping, making sure the young one is breathing, making sure he is covered, making sure that he is healthy. When the child begins to walk, they watch where he is going, keeping him out of cupboards, away from stairs, guarding against danger as the toddler begins to explore the wider world around himself. As the years Search the pass the child is watched Scriptures over while at play, while eatJonathan ing, when learning to drive. McAnulty School grades are checked, behavior is monitored, friends are observed,… and when problems arise, wise parents step in to help steer the offspring in a healthier direction. Even when the home is left, dutiful parents still check in on their now adult offspring to watch over their progress. Its just part of what it means to be a parent, this watchful nature. There are certainly heartaches which come from having the responsibility of watching over the growth and maturation of another. Broken bones, bad choices, illness, disappointments, failure and such are all common in the life of an individual and a watchful parent experiences all of these things vicariously through their child. Yet there are also joys in the experience. A parent gets to experience the thrills of watching their offspring achieve life’s milestones: the ﬁrst step, the ﬁrst word, the ﬁrst day of school, a marriage, grandchildren. If the job has been done well there is the satisfaction of having produced a viable member of society. Not least a proud parent knows the pure pleasure of love returned. It is a characteristic of the divine nature that God is omniscient. He sees and knows all things. On the grand scale, the Bible declares that God not only, “determines the number of the stars;” but knowing them individually, He also, “gives to all of them their names (Psalm 147:4).” On a smaller scale, Jesus reminded His followers that God has even numbered the hairs of each individual’s head (Matthew 10:30). For the sinful man, this all-seeing nature is an inescapable problem, for God is a righteous Judge and will bring all things to judgment. The Bible says concerning this, “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil (2 Corinthians 5:10),” and, “no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account (Hebrews 4:13; ESV).” On that day, the Scriptures declare that God will judge the “secrets of men (Romans 2:16),” for we can have no secrets from God. Yet, whilst the all-seeing eye of God is legitimate cause for anxiety amongst those who will not repent of their sinful deeds, it is a comfort for those who are the children of God. God spoke of His fatherly concern for His people through the prophets. “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son (Hosea 1:1).” “It was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them. (Hosea 1:3-4; ESV)” Jesus taught His followers to be mindful of God as a watchful, loving Father. “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. (Matthew 6:31-32)“ “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him (Matthew 7:11; ESV)!” As a parent carefully watching over their offspring, so does God watch over His people. As we are born again into His eternal kingdom, we are added to His family as His beloved children (cf. Acts 2:38, 47; Romans 8:15-17). As we take our ﬁrst spiritual steps, God is there, guiding and guarding. As we face trials of various sorts, God is there, mindful of what we are going through. Sometimes, He is going to step in and steer us better (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:13). Sometimes, He is going to let us face challenges head-on so that we grow and mature (cf. James 1:2-4). Always He is going to be watching, never far away, desiring only the best for those who call Him Father. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

Based upon Scripture, a signiﬁcant clue is found in the numerous churches that are a part of the landscape. All too often people offer criticism that there are far too many churches. But, the truth of the matter is that the mercy of God is manifested in those visible sanctuaries that are dedicated to worship of the Lord. Consider, for instance, how God pointed out to Israel in Zechariah 1:16 that He was “returned to Jerusalem with mercies: My house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of Hosts.” The whole of the prophet word of Zechariah was an encouragement to God’s people to get on with the rebuilding of the Temple after they had endured years of defeat and exile. The Temple represented willingness on the part of God to give visible assurance that He was being merciful, not only to His people, but to mankind at large. The completed Temple served as a speciﬁc point of proof that God was very active in the affairs of man. with, “I am returned That principle is to Jerusalem with no less true today. mercies.” In due God wills that people course, the visible know that He is Temple became merciful.

As It is important for us to it related to the Temple, remember this point, and, Zechariah pointed out once again, the proof is in the Word. Take notice about that “the Lord shall spread comfort.” This served as the Seventy Years of judgment on God’s people.

So many times, struggling people are cheered in the Lord by the sight of a church building. Numbers of the hurting frequently ﬁnd renewed spiritual strength and peace during their particular times of need. Oh, most certainly, the church building is a dynamic reminder that “the eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the (His) everlasting arms.” Now, I am very sure that the building is not “the church.” The church is actually made up of bornagain believers in Jesus Christ. But, the building is an inescapable reminder of what God is all about through those believers. When I see it as God sees it, there is no way that there are too many churches. After all, we need an abundant display of God’s evident mercy. Pastor Ron Branch lives in Mason County and is pastor of Hope Baptist Church, Middleport, Ohio.

God’s winner (Mark 10: 35-45) As you probably know, whenever there is a contest, the person who ﬁnishes in ﬁrst place is usually awarded some sort of a prize like a blue ribbon, gold medal, or trophy. It gives you a good feeling to be a winner, doesn’t it? After all, you have worked hard, and it is nice to hear the applause of others when you are awarded the prize. When someone sees that you have a blue ribbon, a gold medal, or a trophy, they know that you have done something very special. James and John were two brothers who were disciples of Jesus. They thought that they were deserving of special recognition in the Kingdom of God. Now they knew that Jesus didn’t hand out blue ribbons, gold medals, or trophies, so they decided between No doubt James themselves just what and John were special honor they disappointed by deserved. They went Jesus’ answer, and to speak to Jesus when the other privately. “Teacher,” ten disciples heard they said, “we want what James and to ask a favor of you.” “What do you God’s Kids John had asked, want?” Jesus asked.

It is about service to others. To see what that means, all you have to do is look at the life that Jesus lived. He came not to be served, but to serve, and He gave His life so that we could have eternal life. That is the greatest prize anyone could have. Let’s say a prayer together. Heavenly Father, may we live a life of service to others. Let us remember to always try to help people and be kind just like Jesus. Then we will win the heavenly prize, and that is the best prize ever. In Your holy name, we pray, Amen.

TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Friday, Oct. 15, the 288th day of 2021. There are 77 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On Oct. 15, 1991, despite sexual harassment allegations by Anita Hill, the Senate narrowly conﬁrmed the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court, 52-48. On this date In 1783, the ﬁrst manned balloon ﬂight took place in Paris as JeanFrancois Pilatre de Rozier ascended in a basket attached to a tethered Montgolﬁer hot-air balloon, rising to about 75 feet. In 1928, the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin landed in Lakehurst, N.J., completing its ﬁrst commercial ﬂight across the Atlantic. In 1945, the former premier of Vichy France, Pierre Laval, was executed for treason. In 1946, Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering (GEH’-reeng) fatally poisoned himself hours before he was to have been executed. In 1954, Hurricane Hazel made landfall on the Carolina coast as a Category 4 storm; Hazel was blamed for some 1,000 deaths in the Caribbean, 95 in the U.S. and 81 in Canada. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a bill creating the U.S. Department of Transportation. The revolutionary Black Panther Party was founded by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland, California. In 1976, in the ﬁrst debate of its kind between vice-presidential nominees, Democrat Walter F. Mondale and Republican Bob Dole faced off in Houston. In 2001, Bethlehem Steel Corp. ﬁled for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In 2003, eleven people were killed when a Staten Island ferry slammed into a maintenance pier. (The ferry’s pilot, who’d blacked out at the controls, later pleaded guilty to eleven counts of manslaughter.) In 2009, a report of a 6-year-old Colorado boy trapped inside a runaway helium balloon engrossed the nation before the boy, Falcon Heene (HEE’-nee), was found safe at home in what turned out to be a hoax. (Falcon’s parents served up to a month in jail.) In 2015, President Barack Obama abandoned his pledge to end America’s longest war, announcing plans to keep at least 5,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan at the end of his term in 2017 and hand the conﬂict off to his successor. In 2017, actress and activist Alyssa Milano tweeted that women who had been sexually harassed or assaulted should write “Me too” as a status; within hours, tens of thousands had taken up the #MeToo hashtag (using a phrase that had been introduced 10 years earlier by social activist Tarana Burke.) Ten years ago Iran’s Foreign Ministry dismissed U.S. accusations that Tehran was involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, saying the claims had no “legal logic.” The Texas Rangers ﬁnished off the Detroit Tigers to become the American League’s ﬁrst repeat champion in a decade with a 15-5 win in Game 6 of the ALCS. Five years ago Republican Donald Trump sought to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. presidential election, pressing unsubstantiated claims that the contest was “rigged” against him. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that Yemen’s Houthi (HOO’-thee) rebels had released two U.S. citizens as part of a complicated diplomatic arrangement. One year ago With their debate in Miami canceled following the president’s coronavirus infection, President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden squared off in dueling televised town halls. Biden hedged on whether he would require all Americans to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Responding to a New York Times report citing tax returns showing he had business debts exceeding $400 million, Trump said, “$400 million is a peanut,” and insisted that he didn’t owe money to Russia or to any “sinister people.” YouTube said it was taking more steps to limit QAnon and other baseless conspiracy theories that could lead to violence. The sobering musical “Jagged Little Pill,” which plumbed Alanis Morissette’s 1995 album to tell a story of an American family spiraling out of control, earned 15 Tony Award nominations as Broadway took the ﬁrst steps to celebrate a pandemic-shortened season.

Ohio Valley Publishing Texas women drive hours for abortions after new law SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — The 33-yearold Texas woman drove alone four hours through the night to get to the Louisiana abortion clinic for a consultation. She initially planned to sleep in her car, but an advocacy group helped arrange a hotel room. Single and with three children ranging from 5 to 13, she worried that adding a baby now would take time, food, money and space away from her three children. She doesn’t have a job, and without help from groups offering a safe abortion, she said, she probably would have sought another way to end her pregnancy. “If you can’t get rid of the baby, what’s the next thing you’re going to do? You’re going to try to get rid of it yourself. So I’m thinking: ‘What could I do? What are some home remedies that I could do to get rid of this baby, to have a miscarriage, to abort it?’ And it shouldn’t be like that. I shouldn’t have to do that. I shouldn’t have to think like that, feel like that, none of that. “We have to be heard. This has got to change. It’s not right.” She was one of more than a dozen women who arrived Saturday at the Hope Medical Group for Women, a single-story brick building with covered windows just south of downtown Shreveport. Some came alone. Others were accompanied by a friend or a partner. Some brought their children because they were unable to get child care. All were seeking to end pregnancies, and most were from neighboring Texas, where the nation’s most restrictive abortion law remains in effect. It prohibits abortions once cardiac activity is detected, after about six weeks, before many women even know they are pregnant. It makes no exceptions for rape or incest. As a result, abortion clinics in surrounding states are being inundated with Texas women. The women agreed to speak to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity so they could talk openly about their experiences. Like many of the others, the 33-yearold Texas mother said she tried to schedule an abortion closer to home, but she was too far along. By the time she arrived at the clinic for the abortion on Sat- urday, she was just past nine weeks and had to undergo a surgical abortion rather than using medication. She said the ordeal left her angry with the Texas politicians who passed the law. “If I had to keep this baby, ain’t no telling what would’ve happened. I probably would’ve went crazy, and they don’t understand that,” she said, her voice ﬁlled with emotion. A 25-year-old woman made the 70-mile trip south from Texarkana, on the border of Texas and Arkansas. She said she was already ﬁve weeks along before she realized she was pregnant, and she knew it would be impossible to schedule the required two visits at a Texas clinic. By the time she was able to make an appointment in Shreveport, her pregnancy was almost too advanced for a medication abortion. “Luckily I found out when I did, because then I was still able to take the pill rather than the surgery,” she said. While she was at the clinic, her husband waited for hours in the car with her young son, who is a toddler and is still breastfeeding. They had no one to watch him. The Texas law has been bouncing between courts for weeks. The Biden administration urged the courts again Monday to suspend it. That effort came three days after a federal appeals court reinstated the law following a blistering lower-court ruling that created a brief 48-hour window last week in which Texas abortion providers rushed to bring in patients again. The anti-abortion campaign that fueled the law aims to reach the U.S. Supreme Court, where abortion opponents hope the conservative coalition assembled under President Donald Trump will end the constitutional right to abortion established by the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. As most of the women entered the clinic’s parking lot, they were met by anti-abortion protesters, mostly from East Texas, who regularly make the trip to Shreveport. John Powers, 44, a machinist from Jacksonville, Texas, said he typically makes the nearly two-hour drive twice a month with the goal of getting any woman to change her mind. In the 13 years he’s been protesting outside clinics, he says he’s convinced two women not to go through with their abortions, which he calls “turnarounds.” “I’m not going to say it happens a lot,” said Powers, who has six children and supports any law that makes it harder for women to get an abortion. “Let’s say I never have another turnaround, that one baby that can now grow up and marry and have her own children, go to school and maybe become a journalist. That’d be worth it, easily worth it to me.” Once inside the clinic, women are greeted by staff members who offer assurance and understanding. The clinic director put her arm around one woman as she escorted her to the back of the clinic. A television in a corner of the waiting room is tuned to Black Entertainment Television. A separate “chill room” with soft music and large leather couches offers patients a chance to rest before their procedure. Many of the women’s stories are troubling for Kathaleen Pittman, the clinic administrator who started working in an abortion clinic 30 years ago. She said she recently spoke to a mother in Texas trying to get an abortion for her 13-yearold daughter, who was sexually assaulted. “She’s a child,” Pittman said. “She should not have to be on the road for hours getting here. It is absolutely heartbreaking.” Before the Texas law went into effect, Pittman said, about 20% of her clients were from Texas, mostly the eastern part of the state close to a three-state region called the Ark-La-Tex of about 1.5 million people, with Shreveport at its geographic center. Now that number is closer to 60%, and the women come hundreds of miles from Austin, Houston or San Antonio. About 55,440 abortions were performed in Texas in 2017, according to the most recent data available from the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights, although some of those patients may have been women from out of state. Abortions performed in Texas account for more than 6% of all abortions in the U.S., Guttmacher reported.

Olsen and Mark Lewis Associated Press KONGSBERG, Norway — The bow-andarrow rampage by a man who killed ﬁve people in a small town near Norway’s capital appeared to be a terrorist act, authorities said Thursday, a bizarre and shocking attack in a Scandinavian country where violent crime is rare. Police identiﬁed the attacker as Espen Andersen Braathen, a 37-yearold Danish citizen, who was arrested on the street Wednesday night about a half-hour after authorities were alerted. They said he used the bow and arrow and possibly other weapons to randomly target people at a supermarket and other locations in Kongsberg, a town of about 26,000 where he lived. Witnesses said their quiet neighborhood of wooden houses and birch trees was turned into a scene of terrifying cries and turmoil. “The screaming was so intense and horrifying there was never any doubt something very serious was going on,” said Kurt Einar Voldseth, who had returned home from an errand when he heard the commotion. “I can only describe it as a ‘death scream,’ and it burned into my mind.” Four women and a man between the ages of 50 and 70 were killed, and three other people were wounded, police said. Andersen Braathen is being held on preliminary charges and will face a custody hearing Friday. Police said they believe he acted alone. “The whole act appears to be an act of terror,” said Hans Sverre Sjoevold, head of Norway’s domestic intelligence service, known as the PST. “We do not know what the motivation of the perpetrator is,” Sjoevold said in English. “We have to wait for the outcome of the investigation.” He said the suspect was known to the PST, but he declined to elaborate. The agency said the terror threat level for Norway remained unchanged at “moderate.” Regional Police Chief Ole B. Saeverud described the man as a Muslim convert and said there “earlier had been worries of the man having been radicalized,” but he did not elaborate or say why he was previously ﬂagged or what authorities did in response. Norwegian media reported the suspect had a conviction for burglary and drug possession, and last year a court granted a restraining order for him to stay away from his parents for six months after threatening to kill one of them. Svane Mathiassen told broadcaster NRK the suspect will be examined by forensic psychiatric experts, which is “not unusual in such serious cases.” Police were alerted to a man shooting arrows about 6:15 p.m. Regional prosecutor Ann Iren Svane Mathiassen, told The Associated Press that after his arrest, the attacker “clearly described what he had done. He admitted kill- AP Photo | Pal Nordseth People gather around flowers and candles after a man killed several people on Wednesday afternoon, in Kongsberg, Norway, Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021. The bow-and-arrow rampage by a man who killed five people in a small town near Norway’s capital appeared to be a terrorist act, authorities said Thursday, a bizarre and shocking attack in a Scandinavian country where violent crime is rare. ing the ﬁve people.” She said the bow and arrows were just part of his arsenal. Police have not said what else he used, but Voldseth told the AP that when he ran toward the sound of screams, he saw a woman being stabbed by a man with some kind of weapon. Voldseth said he recognized the attacker, saying he lived nearby and “usually walks with his head down and headphones on.” “I have only spoken to him a few times, but I have had the impression he might be a person with problems,” he said. Mass killings are rare in low-crime Norway, and the attack recalled the country’s worst peacetime slaughter a decade ago, when a right-wing domestic extremist killed 77 people with a bomb, a riﬂe and a pistol. Memorials were held in July on the 10th anniversary of those slayings. People have “experienced that their safe local environment suddenly became a dangerous place,” King Harald V said. “It shakes us all when horrible things happen near us, when you least expect it, in the middle of everyday life on the open street.” New Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere called the attack “horriﬁc.” Dozens of people saw the killings. Erik Benum, who lives on the same road as the supermarket that was attacked, told AP he saw shop workers taking shelter in doorways. “I saw them hiding in the corner. Then I went to see what was happening, and I saw the police moving in with a shield and riﬂes. It was a very strange sight,” Benum said. Police, along with reinforcements from elsewhere, ﬂooded into Kongsberg and blocked several roads. The blue lights of emergency vehicles and spotlights from a helicopter illuminated the scene. On Thursday morning, the whole town was eerily quiet, Benum said. “People are sad and shocked,” he said. Flags were lowered to half-staff, and residents placed ﬂowers, candles and stuffed animals around a makeshift memorial in a central square. Mayor Kari Anne Sand described the last 24 hours as a “nightmare.” “The town was attacked last night and ﬁve people died. I think most of the inhabitants are in quite a shock that such a thing could happen here. This is a quiet town, a quiet municipality,” she said, adding that health and social services ofﬁcials are working to care for those who need assistance. The main church in Kongsberg also was open for those needing comfort. The Regional Health Center at Pleasant Valley Hospital is pleased to welcome Jay D.

The chairman of the special committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said the panel will vote Tuesday to recommend charges against Bannon, an adviser to Donald Trump for years who was in touch with the president ahead of the most serious assault on Congress in two centuries. “The Select Committee will not tolerate deﬁance of our subpoenas,” Thompson said in a statement. Bannon, he said, is “hiding behind the former president’s insufﬁcient, blanket and vague statements regarding privileges he has purported to invoke. We reject his position entirely.” If approved by the Democratic-majority committee, the recommendation of criminal charges would go to the full House. Approval there would send them to the Justice Department, which has ﬁnal say on prosecution. The showdown with Bannon is just one facet of a broad and escalating congressional inquiry, with 19 subpoenas issued so far and thousands of pages of documents ﬂowing to the committee and its staff. Challenging Bannon’s deﬁance is a crucial step for the panel, whose members are vowing to restore the force of congressional subpoenas after they were routinely ﬂouted during Trump’s time in ofﬁce. The committee had scheduled a Thursday deposition with Bannon, but his lawyer said that Trump had directed him not to comply, citing information that was potentially protected by executive privileges afforded to a AP Photo | Eduardo Munoz Alvarez, File In this Aug. 20, 2020, file photo, President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon speaks with reporters in New York. A lawyer for Bannon says Bannon won’t comply with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol because President Donald Trump is asserting executive privilege to block demands for testimony and documents. president. Bannon, who was not a White House staffer on Jan. 6, also failed to provide documents to the panel by a deadline last week. Still, the committee could end up stymied again after years of Trump administration ofﬁcials refusing to cooperate with Congress. The longtime Trump adviser similarly deﬁed a subpoena during a GOP-led investigation into Trump’s Russia ties in 2018, but the House did not move to hold him into contempt. Even though President Joe Biden has been supportive of the committee’s work, it is uncertain whether the Justice Department would choose to prosecute the criminal contempt charges against Bannon or any other witnesses who might defy the panel. Even if it the department does prosecute, the process could take months, if not years. And such contempt cases are notoriously difﬁcult to win. Members of the committee are pressuring the department to take their side. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who also sits on the Jan. 6 panel, said he expects the Justice Department to prosecute the cases. “The last four years have given people like Steve Bannon the impression they’re above the law,” Schiff said during an interview for C-SPAN’s Book TV that airs next weekend. “But they’re going to ﬁnd out otherwise.” Schiff said efforts to hold Bannon and others in contempt during the Russia investigation were blocked by Republicans and the Trump administration’s Department of Justice. “But now we have Merrick Garland, we have an independent Justice Department, we have an attorney general who believes in the rule of law -- and so this is why I have conﬁdence that we will get the answers,” Schiff said. While Bannon has outright deﬁed the Jan. 6 committee, other Trump aides who have been subpoenaed appear to be negotiating. A deposition by a second witness that had been scheduled for Thursday, former Defense Department ofﬁcial Kashyap Patel, was delayed, but Patel is still engaging with the panel, a committee aide said. The aide requested anonymity to discuss the conﬁdential talks. Two other men who worked for Trump — former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and longtime Trump social media director Dan Scavino — were scheduled for depositions Friday, but they have both been pushed back as well. Meadows, like Patel, has been given a “short postponement” as he is also engaging with the panel, the aide said, and Scavino’s deposition has been rescheduled because there were delays in serving his subpoena. It is unclear to what extent Trump has tried to inﬂuence his aides, beyond his lawyers’ attempts to assert executive privilege. In a statement Thursday, the former president said the members of the committee should “hold themselves in criminal contempt” and that “the people are not going to stand for it!” Other witnesses are cooperating, including some who organized or staffed the Trump rally on the Ellipse behind the White House that preceded the riot. The committee subpoenaed 11 rally organizers and gave them a Wednesday deadline to turn over documents and records. They have also been asked to appear at scheduled depositions. Among those complying was Lyndon Brentnall, whose ﬁrm was hired to provide Ellipse event security that day, and two longtime Trump campaign and White House staffers, Megan Powers and Hannah Salem. It is uncertain whether any of the others subpoenaed have complied. Many of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 marched up the National Mall after attending at least part of Trump’s rally, where he repeated his meritless claims of election fraud and implored the crowd to “ﬁght like hell.” Dozens of police ofﬁcers were injured as the Trump supporters overwhelmed them and broke through windows and doors to interrupt the certiﬁcation of Biden’s victory. Jail From page 1 Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association. “Throughout Ohio, communities are facing serious challenges repairing or replacing local jails. In some cases, county jails have been closed. It’s time to change that,” said Stephens (R-Kitts Hill). “This bill gives Ohio counties a comprehensive program that will help local leaders address these issues.” Edwards (R-Nelsonville) cited the Meigs County jail in his 94th House District as an example of the challenges communities face. Earlier this year, the century-old jail permanently closed. With legislation like House Bill 101, local communities can be better positioned to address local needs, Edwards said. “This plan supports law enforcement, it supports public safety, it supports local communities. Let’s get it done,” Edwards said. Guidelines for the program would be developed by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, in consultation with county Courtesy photo State Representative Jay Edwards speaking during Wednesday’s House session. sheriffs and commissioners. The Ohio Facilities Construction Commission also runs the state’s school facilities program. The plan approved this week would reportedly give ﬁrst priority to lower wealth counties, those least able to afford the cost of a new or renovated facility. The news release further stated: “Under the bill, counties would be ranked every other year, based on local property tax values and estimated taxable retail sales in each county. The lowest ranked counties would be given ﬁrst priority, with the number of counties invited to apply each year based on how much funding is available.” The legislation approved this week does not include funding for the program, but the goal is to get the program into law in time for the state’s two-year construction budget, which is expected to be debated next year, according to the news release. The bill now moves to the Ohio Senate for consideration. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
