Gallia County Trick-or-treat for Gallia Special to OVP OHIO VALLEY — When George Washington’s name is mentioned, for most it conjures an image of the Revolutionary War General crossing the Delaware, or the stately first president of the United States. It is unlikely that most American’s would think of him as the outdoorsman traveling the Ohio River in a canoe, hunting for game in the forests and camping on the banks of the river, communing with Native American Chiefs, surveying lands in what was then the frontier, or leading troops during the French and Indian War.

Mike DeWine said Tuesday. Continuing a trend, the 2,509 new cases reported from the previous 24 hours were a 27% increase over the 21-day average and the 198 new hospitalizations represented a 69% increase over the three-week average for that metric. And as it is elsewhere in the United States, the virus is spreading into rural corners of Ohio that previously had been spared. “Right now, 92.8% of Ohioans are living in a county that is high incidence and/or has very high exposure and spread,” DeWine’s office said in a tweet. Adding to the alarm, the “positivity rate,” or the percentage of tests turning out to be positive for coronavirus, is nearing 6%. That’s about double what it was in late September. Given the fact that Ohio continues to increase the number of tests that are administered, the higher rate indicates that people are spreading the disease to one another at a pace that is snowballing. “We have no indication that we’ve plateaued out at all,” DeWine said during his Tuesday coronavirus press conference. He said he found the situation so alarming that he was calling on medical, government, education and other leaders in each of the state’s 88 counties to work together on strategies to arrest the spread of the disease as cold, wet weather drives Ohioans indoors. DeWine also had an appeal relating to Halloween and football parties and Thanksgiving gatherings. “Please reconsider hosting gatherings of any size,” he said. The dire statements brought the kinds of questions the governor has often faced since he started holding coronavirus briefings back in March.

Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said one reason such a move might be unnecessary is that much of the spread happening now in Ohio doesn’t seem to be occurring inside businesses. DeWine also started to rule out the possibility of another shutdown but then seemed to think better of being too definite. “We just can’t shut down twice, or we certainly don’t want to do it twice,” he said. Then, after describing what could happen if the spread of the disease is unchecked, DeWine said things could get so bad that “we will one way or the other be shut down.” DeWine also faced more questions about statements and actions concerning the pandemic by President Donald Trump and his staff. One was a proposal to allow uncontrolled spread among populations without other health risks in an attempt to achieve “herd immunity.” If successful, it would mean that such a large chunk of the population would be immune to the virus that it would have a hard time spreading. The idea has been endorsed by Scott Atlas, a doctor who doesn’t specialize in infectious diseases, but was placed on the White House coronavirus team after Trump saw him on Fox News. The argument has been widely discredited, with renowned epidemiologist Michael Osterholm calling Atlas’s arguments “the most amazing combination of pixie dust and pseudoscience I’ve ever seen.” DeWine echoed that on Tuesday, saying, “There’s no reputable scientist I’m aware of anywhere in the world” who thinks herd immunity can be achieved without a vaccine anytime soon. DeWine was also asked why he greeted Trump at the airport Saturday. Trump was on his way to Circleville for a rally where people crowded together and at which Trump said the coronavirus is being overhyped by the media. DeWine at first seemed to distance himself from Trump, saying he was merely respecting the dignity of Trump’s office. But then… “Please understand exactly what it was. It was the governor of Ohio greeting the president of the United States,” DeWine said. “Again, I’ve also endorsed him and I continue to endorse him.” This story shared for republication by, and with permission from, the Ohio Capital Journal, an independent, nonprofit news organization. For more information go to www.ohiocapitaljournal.com the Ohio county presents an opportunity to explore the importance of this visit, the 1753 communications with the French in the region, and his relationships with native peoples in the founding of the United States and the establishment of a slave free territory larger than the whole of the 13 colonies. The trip highlights Washington’s commitment to securing payment for his troops service in the French and Indian War, and his interest in the areas indigenous people and European settlers. To understand how and why Washington came to explore the Ohio area, we need a brief history of Washington: The Washington family was prosperous, and it was expected that Washington would follow his two older half-brothers in receiving a classical education, probably in England. The sudden death of his father when he was 11 meant that he would not be provided with that opportunity, and was instead educated by private tutors and possibly attended a local school in nearby Fredericksburg. Instead of receiving a formal classical education, Washington’s studies included subjects that would prepare him for his career as a surveyor, an acceptable profession for a man in the 18th century Colonies. His studies also included “Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation”. Surveyors were in high demand in the vast new territory of the Americas, and he began his first position in the office of county surveyor in Culpeper County, Virginia, In 1748, at age 16 he would take his first trip across western Virginia to survey lands in the Shenandoah Valley. He would go even further into the western territories in October 1753 as an emissary of Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie thought the 21-year-old Washington, now a Major in the Virginia Regiment, was well suited for the mission, having spent time in the area on the previous surveying trip. The mission was to deliver a message demanding French withdrawal from lands that were claimed by Virginia. Washington and his party traveled over 900 miles round trip, encountering deep snow, cold temperatures, and treacherous traveling conditions. The group returned to Virginia in January 1754 with a message from the French that they had no plans to leave the area, as they also believed they had a valid claim to the region. Washington was promoted to Lt. Colonel and returned with the Virginia Militia in March of 1754 with orders to secure the region for England. It was here that he formed a relationship with Tanacharison, a Seneca chief also known as HalfKing and other native warriors sympathetic to the British, including Kiashuta who acted as a guide. During this expedition the first shots were fired in what became known as the French and Indian Wars in North America, and where Washington would spend the next five years in combat. At the close of the war with England victorious, Washington resigned his commission, married, and began life as a farmer at Mount Vernon. His military service had earned him land grants in the Ohio River valley, and in October 1770 he again headed west by canoe to identify “suitable land along the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to the Kanawha River.” Washington had three objectives: to view tracts of land that had been secured for him in Western Pennsylvania; to view the choice unoccupied tracts of land along the Ohio River for personal purchase; to examine lands that might be available for bounties promised soldier of his Virginia regiment for services in the French and Indian War. The trip began in Pittsburgh, and Washington’s Journal details his thoughts and description of the country as he traveled down the Ohio River. Washington and his party camped at several sites along the river, including one in what is now called Long Bottom in Meigs County, Ohio. Washington spent the evening and the next morning reconnecting with Kiashuta, who was now chief of the Seneca tribe, one of the Iroquois Six Nations confederacy of the northeastern region. Chief Kiashuta referred to Washington as “The Tall Hunter”. Washington’s Journal, October 28, 1770 recounts the meeting: 28th. - Left our encampment about seven o’clock. Two miles below, a small run comes in, on the east side, through a piece of land that has a very good appearance, the bottom beginning above our encampment, and continuing in appearance wide for four miles down, where we found Kiashuta and his hunting party encamped. Here we were under a necessity of paying our compliments, as this person was one of the Six Nation chiefs, and the head of those upon this river. In the person of Kiashuta I found an old acquaintance, he being one of the Indians that went with me to the French in 1753. He expressed satisfaction at seeing me, and treated us with great kindness, giving us a quarter of very fine buffalo. He insisted upon our spending that night with him, and, in order to retard us as little as possible, moved his camp down the river just below the mouth of a creek, the name of which I could not learn. At this place we all encamped. After much counseling over night, they all came to my fire the next morning with great formality; when Kiashuta, rehearsing what had passed between me and the Sachems at Colonel Croghan’s, thanked me for saying, that peace and friendship with them were the wish of the people of Virginia, and for recommending it to the traders to deal with them upon a fair and equitable footing; and then again expressed their desire of having a trade opened with Virginia, and that the governor thereof might not only be made acquainted therewith, but with their friendly disposition towards the white people. This I promised to do. The next day Washington writes about finding “wide bottoms and good land”, and the Great Bend. The party continued down the Ohio River to the Kanawha River before returning to Virginia, Nine weeks and one day from the time the trip began. During the 1932, 200th year celebration of George Washington’s birthday the Ohio and West Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution placed markers at several sites in Ohio and West Virginia commemorating the 1770 trip. Their locations include East Liverpool, Mingo Junction, Reno (Marietta), and Long Bottom in Ohio, Parkersburg and Point Pleasant in West Virginia.

(AP) — Gabe Loiacono is the kind of voter President Donald Trump can ill afford to lose. He lives in a pivotal county of a swing state that is among a handful that will decide the presidency. A college history professor who last cast a ballot for a Democrat more than 20 years ago, Loiacono is voting for Democrat Joe Biden because he thinks Trump has utterly failed in his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. “President Trump still does not seem to be taking the pandemic seriously enough. I wish he would,” said Loiacono. He said he never thought of Trump as “all bad” but added, “There is still too much wishful thinking and not enough clear guidance.” And now the virus is getting worse in states that the Republican president needs the most, at the least opportune time. New infections are raging in Wisconsin and elsewhere in the upper Midwest. In Iowa, polls suggest Trump is in a toss-up race with Biden after carrying the state by 9.4 percentage points four years ago. Trump’s pandemic response threatens his hold on Wisconsin, GALLIA COUNTY — Kings Chapel Church will reopen for services starting at 10 a.m., Nov. 1.

Iowa was 10th. Trump won Wisconsin’s heavily blue-collar Winnebago County, which includes Oshkosh, in 2016, after Democratic nominee Barack Obama had carried it in 2012. Today, Winnebago is among the top 10 counties where new Wisconsin COVID cases are being reported, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University and compiled by The Associated Press. The trend is similar in Iowa. Blue-collar Dubuque County was among the state’s 10 counties with the fastest-growing number of cases per capita over the past two weeks. Trump won the county narrowly after Democrats had carried it since the 1950s. In Wisconsin, where polling has shown Biden with a slight but consistent advantage, approval of Trump’s handling the pandemic dropped from 51% in March to 41% in October, according to a Marquette University Law School poll. That’s a noteworthy decline considering Trump’s overall approval has fluctuated little and remained in the mid-40s. Iowans’ view of Trump’s handling of the pandemic is also more negative than positive, according to The Des Moines Register’s Iowa Poll and Monmouth University polls. The race in Iowa remains very close, though Monmouth poll director Patrick Murray said Trump’s poor rating in Iowa on handling the pandemic “suggests in the decision-making process, the coronavirus is top of mind and decisive.” As Trump enters a frenzied final week of campaigning, he continues to hold mass rallies that often defy local public health rules. The campaign says supporters are merely exercising their First Amendment rights.

Just a third of a full slate. Only three teams from the Ohio Valley Publishing area are suiting up for Week 10 contests, with Point Pleasant hosting Winfield, Wahama visiting Pikeview and River Valley traveling to South Point. The Big Blacks and Raiders both play on Friday night, while the White Falcons’ long road trip is Saturday. Here’s a brief look at this weekend’s football contests within the Ohio Valley Publishing area. Winfield Generals (0-4) at Point Pleasant Big Blacks (3-2) This the first meeting between the Big Blacks and Generals since 2013, when Point Pleasant won 37-21 at home. It was the Big Blacks’ second straight win in the series, and gave PPHS a 10-2 edge in the all-time head-tohead series, which began in in 1945. Point Pleasant was off last week, but won its last two decisions, a 40-21 win at Man on Oct. 16, and a 38-28 win over Keyser on Oct. 9 in Mason County. The Generals are 0-4 since beginning the season on Oct. 2. Winfield lost 23-17 at home to Hurricane last week, the Generals’ closest decision of the year. River Valley Raiders (3-5) at South Point Pointers (0-8) This is the first meeting between River Valley at South Point since Week 3 of the 2017 season. The Pointers were 8-4 against RVHS when these teams met as Ohio Valley Conference foes, but the Raiders won both non-conference meetings since leaving the OVC, with a 25-8 triumph in 2017 and a 39-18 win in 2016. River Valley was off last week, but enters with a three-game See FOOTBALL | 7 RIO GRANDE SPORTS BRIEFS Rio men earn 2nd place finish LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Rio Grande men’s bowling team had a trio of Top 15 finishers and posted a second place showing in Sunday’s Mid-South Conference Fall Invitational at the Fern Valley Strike & Spare Family Fun Center. Sophomore Reece Collins (Columbus, OH) gave the RedStorm their top individual outing, taking down 845 pins and finishing the fifth in the 61-bowler field. He also had the top single-game performance for Rio with an opening-game 255.

Rio Grande’s next scheduled tournament is set for Jan. 16, 2021 when it takes part in the Buckeye Baker Classic in Columbus. Eberle, Clark lead Rio women in season-opening tourney LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Brianna Eberle and Cierra Clark both earned Top 20 finishes to lead the University of Rio Grande women’s bowling team in Sunday’s Mid-South Conference Fall Invitational at the Fern Valley Strike & Spare Family Fun Center. Eberle, a junior from St. Marys, Ohio, toppled 660 pins en route to an 18th place finish, while Clark - a freshman from Plain City, Ohio - took down 646 pins for a 20th place showing. Eberle also had the squad’s single-game high of the day with a 203. Rio Grande finished 11th in the 14-team field with 5,228 pins. Lourdes University edged the University of the Cumberlands for the team title with the 6,053 pins to the Patriots’ 6,046. The junior varsity team from Lourdes was third with 5,878 pins.

Coach has his mask on. Unless you take a drink of water and put it right back up. We’re taking it seriously, because 21 days is a long time, and that’s something that we really can’t afford.” After announcing Aug. 11 that it would postpone all fall sports until the spring due to the pandemic, the Big Ten reversed itself and opened the season in mid-October. Because it started later than most other Power Five leagues, the Big Ten put together a nine-game, conferenceonly schedule without any off weeks. So while Notre Dame could postpone a scheduled game with Wake Forest after experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak last month, Big Ten programs don’t have that luxury. The Big Ten’s 21-day delay for players to return is also more stringent than other conferences — a decision the league knew could put its teams at a competitive disadvantage. “I think there certainly were those questions after the decision was made,” Ohio State team physician Jim Borchers said last week. “And the answer is because that’s what it took to get us to a point where our presidents and chancellors felt comfortable in minimizing risk to allow a return to competition. And that’s all we really paid attention to.” Big Ten protocols say that athletes who test positive through pointof-contact daily testing must take a polymerase chain reaction test to confirm the first result. All COVID-19 positive athletes must self-isolate for 10 days and undergo cardiac testing. Doug Aukerman, the team physician for Pac-12 school Oregon State, said he considers the Big Ten policy reasonable. “But at the same time, I prefer an approach where everybody isolates for 10 days and you do your cardiac testing and you return back based on their individual situation,” Aukerman said. “And pay attention to their individual symptoms as you progress them through those stages.” The Big Ten and other conferences have set roster thresholds that teams must hit to play a game this season. Most include a 53-player minimum. There also are minimums at certain positions like quarterback (one) and offensive line (seven). Several teams, including Florida and Vanderbilt, have postponed games because they haven’t had enough players overall.

But he declined to predict that Biden would win the state, saying only “There is a possibility,” and even that was contingent on turnout statewide continuing to break records. Biden heads later in the week to three more states Trump won in 2016, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, where he’ll hold a joint Saturday rally with former President Barack Obama. in Tucson and African American community leaders in Phoenix, as well as holding drive-in, voter mobilization rallies both places. On Friday, Harris will visit Fort Worth, Houston and the U.S.-Mexico border town of McAllen in Texas -- a state that hasn’t backed a Democrat for president since 1976 or even elected one to statewide office since 1994. Harris defended the choice to spend several of the election’s closing days campaigning in traditionally Republican states. “There are people all over this country who want to know that they are being seen and heard on some of the most challenging times in the history of our country,” she told reporters in Tucson. Texas was long so reli- dying in the U.S. per day, up from 714 two weeks ago. Overall, about 227,000 Americans have now been killed by the virus. Trump views Nevada, a state that hasn’t backed a Republican for president since 2004, as one option for success. Hillary Clinton won it by less than 2.5 percentage points in 2016. The president is also aiming to keep Arizona in his column. The state hasn’t backed a Democratic presidential candidate since 1996, but it is competitive this year. Democrats aren’t ceding either Nevada or Arizona in the final days of the campaign. Biden’s running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, was in Nevada on Tuesday and Arizona on Wednesday, meeting with Latina business leaders With less than a week until Election Day, Trump is trailing Biden in most national polls. Biden also has an advantage, though narrower, in the key swing states that could decide the election. Biden voted early in Wilmington on Wednesday and also received a virtual briefing from health experts. One, Dr. David Kessler, director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, warned, “We are in the midst of the third wave, and I don’t think anyone can tell you how high this is going to get.” In the U.S., more than 71,000 people a day are testing positive for the virus on average, up from 51,000 two weeks ago.
