<content:encoded><![CDATA[CHILLICOTHE, Ohio – The Chillicothe Police Department has released a heavily redacted report detailing a shooting incident from last month in which a man sustained a gunshot wound to his foot. The incident, which occurred on November 12, is still under investigation.
According to the report, officers were dispatched to Adena Regional Medical Center after the man sought treatment for his injury. He claimed he had been walking home near Diehl Street when an encounter with another individual led to a gun discharging after falling to the ground, striking him in the foot. The man described the individual as shorter with a stocky build but was unable to provide further details due to the poor lighting at the time of the incident.
Complicating the investigation, conflicting accounts were noted in the report. A relative of the man told officers that he had claimed to have accidentally shot himself. The report also indicated that no gunshot was heard at a nearby residence, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the event.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[PIKETON, Ohio – The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified a series of alarming environmental issues at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, including radioactive contamination in Little Beaver Creek and ongoing violations in wastewater management. The findings raise concerns about the plant’s oversight and its impact on local waterways and nearby properties.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-radioactive-contamination-in-little-beaver-creek">Radioactive Contamination in Little Beaver Creek</h3>
In a separate report earlier this year, the EPA found that Technetium-99 (Tc-99) and Thorium-230, two hazardous radioactive materials, were detected at levels exceeding administrative thresholds in Little Beaver Creek. The contamination was traced to outflows from the plant’s on-site radioactive waste dump.
Key findings included:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="722" height="180" src="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/468573754_889622593326337_2467303682190987834_n.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-60284" srcset="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/468573754_889622593326337_2467303682190987834_n.jpg 722w, https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/468573754_889622593326337_2467303682190987834_n-300x75.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Portion of a recent report from the U.S. Department of Energy to the Ohio EPA detailing the finding of radioactive material in Little Beaver Creek.</figcaption></figure>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Technetium-99 (Tc-99):
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>At monitoring site X780-SW08 (upstream), Tc-99 levels were 19.4 pCi/L in the first quarter of 2024, significantly above administrative safety limits.</li>
<li>Downstream at X780-SW06, levels reached 15.4 pCi/L in the same period.</li>
<li>Tc-99 is highly soluble in water, allowing it to travel long distances and potentially contaminate drinking water supplies or agricultural areas. With a half-life of 211,000 years, it poses long-term risks to the environment and public health.</li>
</ul>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-environmental-and-health-risks">Environmental and Health Risks</h3>
Radioactive contamination in water poses significant risks to nearby communities and ecosystems. Tc-99 and Thorium-230, if ingested through water or food, can accumulate in the body, increasing the risk of cancer and other health issues. Little Beaver Creek’s potential connection to larger water systems heightens concerns about contamination spreading to crops, livestock, and drinking water supplies downstream.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ongoing-wastewater-violations">Ongoing Wastewater Violations</h3>
During a September 2024 inspection, the EPA also identified ongoing issues with the plant’s wastewater treatment operations under Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth LLC, which managed the site cleanup until recently. Key violations included:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Frequent Permit Violations:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The facility recorded 121 violations of its wastewater permit between August 2018 and September 2024, including exceedances of mercury and suspended solids limits.</li>
<li>A significant non-compliance status was noted for suspended solids discharges at one outfall (Outfall 005) over multiple months.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Off-Site Impacts:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Inspectors observed signs of erosion and potential contamination in areas of Little Beaver Creek located off the plant’s property.</li>
<li>A leaking hydrant near the wastewater treatment plant has caused localized flooding, further complicating environmental conditions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Structural and Maintenance Problems:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sludge drying beds, last cleaned in 2023, require immediate attention, and sand filters at the treatment plant need to be rebuilt or replaced.</li>
</ul>
</li>

</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-broader-cleanup-challenge">A Broader Cleanup Challenge</h3>
The findings come as a new company takes over the site’s cleanup operations, replacing Fluor-BWXT. The reports place added pressure on the new contractor to address radioactive contamination, improve wastewater management, and prevent further off-site impacts. Residents and environmental advocates are calling for stronger oversight to protect local ecosystems and public health – including placing radioactive signs along Little Beaver Creek warning residents to stay out of the waterway.
To date, the United States Department of Energy maintains that all cleanup operations at the Piketon site are safe. They contend that operations do not affect the surrounding environment or community.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[MEGAN HENRY, Ohio Capital Journal — While transgender Ohioans and allies lament Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signing a <a href="https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/135/sb104" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">transgender bathroom ban bill</a> despite 10,000 Ohioans reportedly urging him not to do so, Republicans are celebrating. 
<a href="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/11/27/ohio-gov-mike-dewine-signs-transgender-bathroom-ban-bill-into-law/">DeWine signed Senate Bill 104 last week, which prohibits transgender students</a> from using school bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity in K-12 schools and colleges. This includes state universities, community colleges, technical colleges and private nonprofit and for-profit career colleges. The law will take effect Feb. 24, but the ACLU of Ohio said it “is closely considering next steps.”
“Transgender people are part of the fabric of Ohio; our families, our workplaces, and our neighborhoods,” the ACLU of Ohio said in a statement. “Every Ohioan deserves the freedom to be loved, to be safe, to be trusted with decisions about healthcare, and to access the facilities that align with their gender identity.”
More than 10,000 people contacted DeWine, urging him to <a href="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/11/15/transgender-ohioans-and-allies-are-asking-gov-mike-dewine-to-veto-bathroom-ban-bill/">veto the bill</a>, TransOhio said. 
“It is a travesty of justice and equity and a stain upon this state,” TransOhio said in a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t4VlTED5JT08JKNKZWk01CL3Ryb6Nd1K/view?fbclid=IwY2xjawG6x0xleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHdpGWodDKSJTQVRK80OK24YpoU4RZ6rhcf5Q_vZpZp-9NbsktkhcFPbQ6g_aem_b46HV6llE64cAyW54JxQ_w" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>. “Our trans students and educators deserve so much better.”
TransOhio is urging people to continue to advocate at the Statehouse. 
“We must hold the line and bear witness to the damage these legislators are doing by prioritizing extremist ideology over the needs of their constituents,” Trans Ohio said in a statement. “None of the cruelty coming out of the legislature will happen in silence.” 
Kaleidoscope Youth Center called this piece of legislation absurd. 
“The legislature is playing games, and it is our young people who are getting hurt,” Kaleidoscope Youth Center said in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DC4SpL1Oc0K/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>. “This is not a game.” KYC is the state’s only group solely dedicated to supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and their allies.
The American Medical Association officially opposes policies preventing transgender individuals from accessing basic human services and public facilities consistent with gender identity.
The Ohio Education Association was disappointed DeWine signed the bathroom bill. 
“SB 104 adds more state regulations that interfere with local control of public schools, discriminates against an already marginalized class of students, and provides no funding to cover school facility costs that may be associated with implementing the bill’s requirements,” OEA President Scott DiMauro said in a statement. 
DeWine signed S.B. 104 without comment the day before Thanksgiving. 
Ohio State University said it’s too soon to talk about specific implications on their campuses just yet.
“We are reviewing the legislation, will follow the law, and are committed to a welcoming environment for all members of our community,” university spokesman Ben Johnson said in an email.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-republicans-are-saying">What Republicans are saying</h4>
As a father of two teenage daughters, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said he appreciates DeWine signing the bill.  
“It’s unbelievable that we’ve reached a point where a law is necessary to ensure the safety of young women in school restrooms, but unfortunately, that’s the reality right now in our society,” Husted <a href="https://x.com/LtGovHusted/status/1861786395737469037" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said in a statement</a>. “This common-sense bill ensures student privacy and safety, protecting kids and providing peace of mind for families across the state.”
State Reps. Beth Lear, R-Galena, and Adam Bird, R-New Richmond — the lawmakers who introduced the bathroom bill that was <a href="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/06/27/ohio-house-passes-transgender-bathroom-and-locker-room-ban-for-k-12-schools-and-colleges/">eventually woven into Senate Bill 104</a> — thanked DeWine for signing the bill. 
“We are thankful that individuals will not have to worry about members of the opposite sex coming into restrooms, locker rooms, and changing rooms in Ohio,” Bird said in a statement. 
“The Protect All Students Act will keep our children safe from exposure to the opposite sex while in private spaces,” Lear said in a statement. 
Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost also thanked DeWine for signing S.B. 104.
“Thank you, Governor, for siding with biology, history safety and common sense,” <a href="https://x.com/DaveYostOH/status/1861778495983985084" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yost posted on X</a>, formerly known as Twitter. The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/03/more-than-10000-people-urged-gov-dewine-to-veto-ohio-bathroom-ban-bill-according-to-transohio/">More than 10,000 people urged Gov.

Being good at CS2 gambling alone may not be enough for your journey in CSGOEmpire. That’s why we will review the best methods and techniques for new players to harvest success in the play modes of CSGOEmpire and put all of the necessary knowledge to work to boost their odds of winning.
So, without further ado, let’s review the best tips and tricks for being successful in CSGOEmpire!
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-register-in-csgoempire">How to Register in CSGOEmpire?</h2>
Starting in CSGOEmpire is really easy. All you need is your Steam profile and login credentials, but be aware of fake and imitated websites.
Scam websites may send you an SMS to try and remove your Steam authenticator, which will then cause you to lose access to the Steam account. Only provide your Steam credentials in the original csgoempire.com domain to have a safe betting experience.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-an-overview-of-the-csgoempire-promo-code">An Overview of the CSGOEmpire Promo Code</h2>
The CSGOEmpire promo code is an exciting feature for new players. You will have the chance to claim a promotional case that can earn you up to $3000 in a CS2 skin, that you can use to play on the platform or withdraw your earnings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-redeem-csgoempire-promo-code">How to Redeem CSGOEmpire Promo Code?</h2>

Always remember that gambling is not a method to earn money or make a living. According to recent reports, there has been a significant growth in people participating in the <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/08/16/results-of-new-self-exclusion-program-in-the-usa/">USA’s self-exclusion program</a> to put a stop to their gambling addiction!
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-tips-amp-tricks-for-winning-in-csgoempire">Tips & Tricks for Winning In CSGOEmpire</h2>
There are multiple methods and techniques to engage with CSGOEmpire’s play modes and be successful in your betting journey. We will now review all of the games on CSGOEmpire and talk you through the best betting strategies for each!
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-win-in-csgoempire-roulette">How to Win in CSGOEmpire Roulette?</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeXtbeRnDc2yfebWJOvoTXe_9R2vKdcK6jygXL07D38gv3PmffDoIgQSKDl2jVmUSSFtEwnnQImSbWanJ9CeyQDuo_NL4cScpNYR9dFOCotklaOsrZJWhwp1HdsLDnHJr0t2Zm-fnQAkWCOxx51y2mu_5IopVld18Ld3Fj7rNj_8SqvisyHzQ?key=IdALx3cVS2diUz3xnPLraoRH" alt=""/></figure>
The CSGOEmpire roulette is perhaps the most widely known play mode of the website. Most CS2 bettors tend to register on the website solely because of the roulette and its well-designed and thrilling gameplay.
When betting on roulette, you can place a bet in any size and there are three possible outcomes:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Counter-Terrorists: About 48% to double your bet.</li>
<li>Terrorists: About 48% to double your bet.</li>
<li>Dice: About 2–4% to win 14x on your bet.</li>
</ul>
Don’t start betting a bit on the dice right away as it can be exceedingly rare to drop. For each roulette round, you can place two bets – one on CT (Counter-Terrosists) or T (Terrorists) and one on dice. We recommend placing your bit bet on CT and T and about one-sixth of your big bet on dice. For example, 10 coins on CT or T and about 0,50-1 coins on dice is the safest way to go.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-win-in-csgoempire-coinflip">How to Win in CSGOEmpire Coinflip?</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe1CTS-UAGypo8UYiy_bblNFRI6o5cfci0bzOoxnuEJNamscdY297gqqpmhbUSHW7bWBRlR8xRMvA28uBCNyR-7dUUdBV1I9YsxON1z41ohXPdTL-kb2g18FS51h0a6sj_JGo5ZGB1McMCvwZanb_P7RbXakovZvZqJr0d_oMtmZWEifr4qFjI?key=IdALx3cVS2diUz3xnPLraoRH" alt=""/></figure>
The coin flip is another unique game on CSGOEmpire. You can access the game mode by navigating to “Games” → “Conflip” and pressing the yellow “Create Game” button to host a game with wagers defined by you.
Each time you win a conflip game, you will earn 1,95x of your initial earnings, which almost accounts for 2x. If there are no active games, you can always call a CSGOEmpire bot to play against. While there is no particular way to play this method, start by engaging in small bets until you get the hang of it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-win-in-csgoempire-case-battles">How to Win in CSGOEmpire Case Battles?</h2>
<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeUYhgg8l8H4gVv7Sz8i_5_JlXAlhk2PGMzV6FeTqIoWq99-h0HSeDdIAfOE0tZN-CtizX0lNIvCQLDpgrpDPBXqsBOjRnZ_xlmjeFrEWD3Q7KvQDi1q27_t_2AYTcm_TV4ABxKkB2l4cUEpPFTb7iLNGAesZYh2tIQ4az0DfjvEP2gex2aiA?key=IdALx3cVS2diUz3xnPLraoRH" alt=""/></figure>
We believe the case battles are one of the most exciting play modes on CSGOEmpire. Here you can create games to play against other players or call CSGOEmpire bots, similar to the coinflip section.
You can handpick which cases to open from CSGOEmpire’s unique case selection and add multiple different cases to compete in who opens the most valuable skins. We recommend checking which cases have the rarest and most valuable skins and adding them to your game for better chances of winning.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-always-calculate-the-odds">Always Calculate the Odds</h2>
Knowing what you’re up against is essential in any CS2 gambling site and not only CSGOEmpire. You can even check out the fairness page of the website to learn and understand what are your odds when engaging in the games of the website.
Knowing what you’re up against and what are your odds is extremely important whenever it comes down to betting!! 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-deposit-amp-withdraw-in-csgoempire">How to Deposit & Withdraw in CSGOEmpire?</h2>
There are a variety of methods to deposit in CSGOEmpire and you can even play with your own CS2 skins. <a href="https://csgobettings.gg/">Players can bet their skins in different games</a>, such as Rust, CS2, and Team Fortress, but for now, only the CS2 skin payment method is available. 
You can use real money to conduct transactions from Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Apple Pay, Google Pay, paysafecard, Gift Cards, Neteller, Jetonbank, JetonCash, Direct Bank Transfer, ePay, and cryptocurrency methods – Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, USDC, USDT.
When it comes to withdrawing, you can either cash out in CS2 skins or receive your winnings in all available cryptocurrencies on the platform. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
Now you know the best techniques and strategies to engage with the games on CSGOEmpire! We hope we’ve made the experience a little bit more clear for you and provided you with valuable suggestions on how to engage with the platform. It’s really important to always wager only what you can afford to lose and never get out of your way to chase losses!The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/03/csgoempire-referral-code-essential-tips-and-tricks-for-beginners/">CSGOEmpire Promo Code “CSGOBETTINGS”: Tips and Tricks for New Users</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-application-process-for-a-guaranteed-300-loan-with-bad-credit">Application Process for A Guaranteed $300 Loan with Bad Credit</h2>
Guaranteed $300 loans with bad credit share a similar application process with traditional loans whereby you start by submitting an application. After submission, you will then wait for the application to undergo an approval process, and upon approval, the funds will be promptly transferred to your bank account.
As this application process for a guaranteed $300 loan with bad credit is user-friendly, it allows for convenient online completion. This automated procedure involves the system verifying eligibility and granting approval if all requirements are satisfied.
Once approval is secured, you will receive comprehensive information outlining the loan terms and conditions. It is crucial to carefully review and consent to the contract when the terms align with your preferences. Following your agreement, the funds will be disbursed to your account.
Nonetheless, guaranteed $300 loans diverge from traditional loans in several notable ways, including elevated interest rates, expedited disbursement, and more forgiving repayment terms, as will be elaborated in segments further down.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-eligibility-criteria-for-guaranteed-300-loans-with-bad-credit">Eligibility Criteria for Guaranteed $300 Loans with Bad Credit</h2>
If you are curious about your eligibility for a guaranteed $300 loan with bad credit, we are going to give you a comprehensive guide outlining all the requirements you will need to fulfill. They include: 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Age requirement – You must be at least 18 to be eligible for a guaranteed $300 loan with bad credit.</li>
<li>Steady and verifiable income – A prerequisite for approval is having a consistent and verifiable source of income.</li>
<li>Active contact information – Maintaining an active phone number and/or email address is a crucial prerequisite for communication throughout the loan application process.</li>
<li>Active bank account – An active bank account is indispensable as it serves as the conduit through which the approved loan sum will be disbursed and repayments made.</li>
<li>Citizenship and residency – To qualify for a guaranteed $300 loan with bad credit you must be a US citizen or a permanent resident.</li>
<li>Debt-to-income ratio – You must have a favorable debt-to-income ratio to show your ability to repay the loan within your stipulated time.</li>
</ul>
Luckily, meeting these criteria is an easy thing for the majority of individuals, contributing to an exceptionally high approval rate that approaches 99.99%. This means that, despite having a less-than-ideal credit history, submitting an application today could result in approval within a remarkably short timeframe—often within 24 hours.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-conventional-loans-vs-guaranteed-300-loans-with-bad-credit">Conventional Loans Vs Guaranteed $300 Loans with Bad Credit</h2>

Credit score requirements
When evaluating lenders of guaranteed $300 loans with bad credit, our primary focus was on those known for their willingness to work with borrowers having poor credit scores. Recognizing that a more lenient approach to credit score requirements makes a lender more attractive to those with bad credit, we sought out financial institutions that prioritize accessibility.

Understanding the pivotal role of interest rates in the affordability of loans, we sought lenders offering competitive interest rates, even for borrowers with bad credit histories. This plays a huge role in ensuring that guaranteed $300 loans with bad credit are not only accessible but also economically feasible.

To ensure borrowers seeking guaranteed $300 loans with bad credit are engaging with reputable lenders, we scrutinized the reputation and customer reviews of the selected institutions and ensured that the lenders we recommend have a history of fair and transparent lending practices.
Regulatory compliance

As such we carefully verified that the chosen lenders adhere to relevant regulations, particularly those designed to protect consumers from predatory practices and unfair terms. This ensures that borrowers are safeguarded and have confidence in the legitimacy and ethical conduct of the lending institutions.
Flexibility
Recognizing the importance of accommodating borrowers’ varying financial circumstances, we assessed whether the selected lenders offer flexible repayment options and focused on lenders that provide the possibility to adjust the lending amounts and payments to make borrowers access guaranteed $300 loans with bad credit without straining.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, D.C. — After two years of investigation, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has unveiled its comprehensive final report, “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward.” Spanning 520 pages, the report serves as a roadmap for improving the United States’ pandemic preparedness and response, identifying critical failures and providing recommendations for the future.
The Subcommittee, formed in early 2023, reviewed over a million pages of documents, conducted interviews, and held hearings to explore the origins of COVID-19, government actions, and the broader impacts of the pandemic. The findings point to significant missteps, including fraud in relief programs, inconsistent public health messaging, and bureaucratic obstruction.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-takeaways">Key Takeaways</h3>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-pandemic-origins">Pandemic Origins</h4>
The report concludes that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab-related incident in Wuhan, China, linked to gain-of-function research. Federal funding mechanisms, including grants managed by EcoHealth Alliance, were criticized for inadequate oversight.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-relief-fund-mismanagement">Relief Fund Mismanagement</h4>
The investigation uncovered massive fraud in federal pandemic relief programs:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>At least $64 billion in fraudulent claims under the Paycheck Protection Program.</li>
<li>$191 billion lost to unemployment fraud, with much of the money stolen by international actors.</li>
<li>A lack of oversight left relief programs vulnerable to exploitation, leading to billions of taxpayer dollars wasted.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-public-health-and-policy-failures">Public Health and Policy Failures</h4>
Public trust in health authorities eroded due to inconsistent guidance and policies:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Social distancing and mask mandates were criticized as unsupported by clear scientific evidence.</li>
<li>Prolonged lockdowns caused economic and mental health crises, particularly affecting children and vulnerable populations.</li>
<li>Vaccine mandates sparked controversy, with the report highlighting rushed approvals and a lack of attention to natural immunity.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-impact-on-schools-and-students">Impact on Schools and Students</h4>
School closures led to historic levels of learning loss and psychological harm among children. The report suggests political influence over scientific guidance contributed to prolonged closures, worsening the long-term effects on students.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-obstruction-and-accountability">Obstruction and Accountability</h4>
The report alleges intentional obstruction by agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and organizations like EcoHealth Alliance. Officials were accused of destroying records, delaying investigations, and resisting oversight.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-looking-ahead">Looking Ahead</h3>
The Subcommittee will formally present the report to Congress on December 4, along with additional materials and recommendations. Chairman Brad Wenstrup urged lawmakers to build on the findings, emphasizing the need for transparency, accountability, and a unified national response to future pandemics.
“This work is a step toward earning back public trust and ensuring that we are better prepared for the next crisis,” Wenstrup stated.
The <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/report/after-action-review-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-the-lessons-learned-and-a-path-forward/">full report is available online</a>, with a detailed summary highlighting critical lessons and the path forward for pandemic response.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/02/congressional-report-details-covid-19-shortfalls-after-two-year-investigation/">Congressional report details COVID-19 shortfalls after two-year investigation</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, D.C. — A new report from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has identified a laboratory in Wuhan, China, as the likely origin of the COVID-19 virus. The findings were part of the subcommittee’s final report, “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward,” which was released following a two-year investigation into the pandemic’s origins and response.
The 520-page report details several points supporting the hypothesis that the virus may have originated from a laboratory incident, often referred to as the “lab-leak” theory.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-points-supporting-the-lab-leak-theory">Key Points Supporting the Lab-Leak Theory</h3>
The report outlines five arguments in favor of this theory:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Biological Characteristics: The virus has features not commonly observed in naturally occurring coronaviruses.</li>
<li>Single Origin Event: Data suggests all known COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans, differing from previous pandemics that involved multiple spillover events.</li>
<li>Wuhan Laboratory Proximity: Wuhan is home to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), a major research facility that has conducted studies on SARS-like viruses, including gain-of-function research, under varying biosafety conditions.</li>
<li>Early Illness Reports: Researchers at the WIV reportedly experienced COVID-like symptoms in late 2019, prior to the identification of cases linked to a Wuhan wet market.</li>
<li>Lack of Natural Evidence: Evidence pointing to a natural origin, such as identifying an intermediary host, has not been conclusively found.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-gain-of-function-research-and-oversight">Gain-of-Function Research and Oversight</h3>
The report raises concerns about gain-of-function research, a scientific practice involving the enhancement of viruses for research purposes. It suggests that a lab-related incident involving such research could have been the cause of the pandemic. It also highlights shortcomings in existing government oversight mechanisms for this type of research, both in the U.S. and internationally.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ecohealth-alliance-s-role">EcoHealth Alliance’s Role</h3>
The report scrutinizes EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based nonprofit that collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. According to the subcommittee, EcoHealth received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research that may have included gain-of-function experiments. The report notes that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has since suspended funding to EcoHealth and initiated debarment proceedings. The Department of Justice is reportedly investigating EcoHealth’s activities during the pandemic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-broader-implications">Broader Implications</h3>
The report also addresses early efforts to investigate the virus’s origins, including communications among scientists and public health officials that initially emphasized a natural origin theory. It suggests that further transparency and oversight are needed to better understand the pandemic’s origins and prevent future health crises.
The findings mark a significant contribution to ongoing discussions about the origins of COVID-19, with the report calling for improvements in global research safety standards and pandemic preparedness. While debates continue over the evidence and conclusions, the subcommittee’s report underscores the importance of understanding how the pandemic began to guide future public health strategies.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/02/congressional-report-covid-19-originated-from-lab-in-china/">Congressional report: COVID-19 originated from lab in China</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[SWANTON, Ohio – Residents in Central and Eastern Ohio, particularly in the Dayton area, may notice fighter jets overhead on Monday, December 2, as the 180th Fighter Wing conducts an air defense exercise. The training exercise is scheduled to run between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
During the exercise, fighter jets will fly in close proximity to a Civil Air Patrol aircraft, which will act as a “Track of Interest” (TOI). A TOI simulates an aircraft identified as a potential threat, providing an opportunity for air defense personnel to practice detection, response, and coordination procedures in real-time.
The exercise is part of ongoing efforts to enhance national defense readiness. While there may be increased air traffic and noise during the exercise, officials stress that it is a planned and controlled operation with no cause for public concern.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a decision drawing widespread attention, President Joe Biden has issued a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, despite previously asserting he would not grant clemency to family members. The announcement marks a significant shift from the president’s earlier position.
Hunter Biden, who recently pleaded guilty to federal tax violations and was convicted on firearms-related charges, was facing sentencing later this month. The president’s pardon, described as “full and unconditional,” covers all offenses committed by Hunter between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
In a statement released Sunday, President Biden explained his decision, stating, “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-background-on-hunter-biden-s-legal-troubles">Background on Hunter Biden’s Legal Troubles</h3>
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in September to failing to pay approximately $1.4 million in taxes. Additionally, he was convicted of making false statements related to the purchase of a firearm. He was scheduled for sentencing on December 16.
The pardon eliminates the possibility of imprisonment for these offenses and shields Hunter Biden from further legal consequences within the defined timeframe.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-political-implications">Political Implications</h3>
The pardon has sparked intense debate among lawmakers and commentators. Critics argue it undermines the rule of law and contradicts President Biden’s public commitments. Supporters of the president point to his assertion of selective prosecution, suggesting the legal actions against Hunter Biden were politically motivated.
Republican leaders have already voiced outrage, with some calling for congressional inquiries into the pardon’s implications. Democrats, meanwhile, are navigating the delicate balance of supporting the president while addressing public skepticism about equal treatment under the law.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-next-steps">Next Steps</h3>
Hunter Biden’s legal battles have been a focal point of criticism for the Biden administration, with Republicans frequently citing the cases as evidence of broader ethical concerns. While the pardon concludes Hunter Biden’s immediate legal jeopardy, the political fallout is expected to linger

<content:encoded><![CDATA[MARTY SCHLADEN, Ohio Capital Journal — As undocumented immigrants show up at the southern border, many may be fleeing gun violence perpetrated with weapons that originally came from the United States. New research shows that nearly half coming across the border had previously been threatened by guns, while earlier research shows that the vast majority of guns in some of those countries originated here.
A report by researchers at the University of Michigan and the University of Colorado published in the October issue of the peer-reviewed journal <a href="https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/early/2024/10/21/ip-2024-045369#ref-5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Injury Prevention</a> sought to gain some insights into the role the U.S. gun trade might be playing in migrants’ decisions to make the hazardous journey to the southern border.
“Policy-makers have argued that U.S. firearms are fueling violence in these countries and are contributing to migration,” their report said. “The objective of this article is to examine the proportion of immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean arriving at the U.S. border who have previously been threatened with a firearm.”
It seems a no-brainer that while many are coming to the United States seeking economic opportunity or reunite with family, many are fleeing violence in their home countries. Indeed, a 2015 survey of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador by Doctors Without Borders found that “of those interviewed, almost 40% (39.2%) mentioned direct attacks or threats to themselves or their families, extortion or gang-forced recruitment as the main reason for fleeing their countries.” 
It’s also known that a huge portion of guns used in such violence originated here. For example, data from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms indicate that of the 21,000 firearms recovered in Mexico between 2016 and 2022, <a href="https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/firearms-trace-data-mexico-2016-2021" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly 70%</a> had either been made or imported into the United States.
What the most recent report adds is insight into how many migrants reported being personally threatened by guns. To do that, they interviewed 312 people seeking asylum between March 2022 and August 2023 at a shelter in McAllen, Texas.
Nearly half (47.7%) reported having been threatened with a firearm. That’s <a href="https://www.kff.org/other/poll-finding/americans-experiences-with-gun-related-violence-injuries-and-deaths/#:~:text=Experiences%20with%20gun%2Drelated%20incidents,personally%20witnessed%20someone%20being%20shot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">more than double</a> the 21% of Americans who reported having been so threatened.
The actual percentage of asylum seekers who have had guns pointed at them is likely higher because nearly 80% of respondents to the survey were women, while 66% of the men who participated said they had been threatened in that way. That compares to 39% of women respondents.
The researchers recommended that immigration officials consider the circumstances of immigrants’ gun threats and their effects as they make policy.
“While victims of firearm-related threats reported in this study were likely robbed, extorted or kidnapped, our study highlights other reasons that are under-discussed,” the report said. “For example, people are often threatened not to report a crime or are intimidated by authorities. In this regard, federal agencies monitoring the flow of migration in the U.S.A. should consider these experiences. In particular, those immigrating have elevated rates of firearm violence exposure and also have evidence of mental health symptoms (PTSD) associated with those exposures. Training on identifying these traumas and providing resources to guide people in seeking proper help at entry points is important.”The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/02/study-u-s-made-weapons-might-be-driving-migrants-to-the-southern-border/">Study: U.S.-made weapons might be driving migrants to the southern border</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[CHILLICOTHE, Ohio – A man is facing drug charges after being detained in the parking lot of Rural King in Chillicothe on November 1, 2024, as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking in the area. Law enforcement seized over 3.7 pounds of marijuana, crack cocaine, fentanyl, and other drug-related items during the arrest.
According to reports from the Chillicothe Police Department, detectives had been investigating the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Reginald Ware, since September after receiving information that he was allegedly selling drugs in Chillicothe. Surveillance of Ware’s residence and vehicle, a gray Jeep Cherokee, led officers to observe him parked at Rural King on North Bridge Street on November 1.
The detective who was leading the investigation, called for uniformed officers to detain Ware as he exited his vehicle. Ware was taken into custody without incident, though officers had to remove his vehicle key from his hand forcibly. Officers detected the odor of raw marijuana coming from Ware’s vehicle and obtained probable cause to search it after Ware admitted to having “weed” in the car.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-evidence-recovered">Evidence Recovered</h3>
The search revealed a staggering amount of drugs and paraphernalia packaged in ways consistent with drug distribution. Key items seized included:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Marijuana: 1,665 grams (approximately 3.7 pounds)</li>
<li>Crack Cocaine: 59 grams</li>
<li>Fentanyl: 16 grams</li>
<li>Various packaging, including pre-labeled cannabis flower packs, THC edibles, and vape cartridges.</li>
<li>Drug paraphernalia, including a digital scale.</li>
</ul>
Additionally, hidden compartments in the vehicle, such as a loose driver-side window mechanism, were found to contain crack cocaine and fentanyl. The street value of the narcotics is estimated at $5,900 for the cocaine and $1,600 for the fentanyl.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-arrest-and-pending-charges">Arrest and Pending Charges</h3>
Ware was arrested and transported to the Ross County Jail on charges of felony marijuana possession. His two cell phones, suspected of being used in drug transactions, were also seized. Additional charges for trafficking and possession of crack cocaine and fentanyl are pending based on lab results from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-investigation-continues">Investigation Continues</h3>
Detectives believe the large quantities of drugs recovered, along with their packaging and the presence of multiple cell phones, indicate Ware was engaged in drug sales. 
Further charges are expected following the lab analysis of the seized substances.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/02/man-arrested-in-chillicothe-on-drug-trafficking-charges-large-quantities-of-narcotics-seized/">Man arrested in Chillicothe on drug trafficking charges, large quantities of narcotics seized</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[CHILLICOTHE, Ohio – Authorities are investigating a reported sexual offense involving two patients at Adena Regional Medical Center’s behavioral health unit, according to the Ross County Sheriff’s Office.
On November 25, a deputy responded to the hospital after staff reported the alleged incident. A female patient claimed that another patient had inappropriately touched her on the evening of November 24 in the day room of Unit 1-A. The victim alleged that the male patient touched her leg, back, and neck, pulled her hair, and made additional unwelcome advances. She further reported that the man squeezed her buttocks and touched her breast over her clothing, despite her repeated demands to stop.
The victim said the male patient continued to harass her throughout the evening, following her around, calling her “sexy,” and making inappropriate comments about her body. Hospital staff intervened after the victim reported the incident, discharging the man from the unit to ensure her safety.
Authorities identified the suspect using hospital records and law enforcement databases. The report revealed that the man had recently been paroled after serving time for a rape conviction. His current whereabouts are under investigation, though he reportedly mentioned plans to travel to Zanesville or Akron after leaving the facility. The sheriff’s office has withheld his name.
Detectives from the sheriff’s office are now handling the investigation. While the victim was unable to provide a written statement due to a disability, officers are actively collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.
Hospital officials have yet to comment on the incident. As of now, no charges have been filed, and the investigation remains ongoing.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/12/02/man-recently-released-from-prison-for-sexual-assault-allegedly-gropes-woman-at-local-hospital/">Man recently released from prison for sexual assault allegedly gropes woman at local hospital</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — New details have emerged about the Chillicothe City Council’s initiative to restrict marijuana dispensaries within city limits, spurred by a push from City Law Director Anna Villareal. According to a recently released document, Villareal has been a key advocate for implementing tighter regulations, citing examples from other Ohio cities.
In a letter to Council President Kevin Shoemaker, Villareal stated, “As a member of the OMAA, our office is copied on many emails between law directors from other cities. We have noticed that a number of cities have enacted legislation to regulate the location of such businesses, much like the regulation of adult entertainment venues.” She further recommended that the issue be assigned to a council committee to explore potential ordinances. “Perhaps the committee will recommend that city ordinances be created to clearly state what parameters exist with regard to marijuana code and regulations,” Villareal wrote.

The proposed ordinance would impose a moratorium on new dispensaries in Chillicothe while the council studies the effects of marijuana legalization on the community. However, the initiative has sparked a significant public backlash.
One local resident expressed frustration, saying, “This is just another push by our legislators to obstruct the will of the voters. This is just what they did previously to places like the Lion’s Den. They won’t let that store in the city limits either.”
During last Monday’s council meeting, more than 100 residents packed the chambers to voice their concerns and opposition. Initially, the ordinance was set for its first reading, with a vote planned as an emergency measure. However, faced with the overwhelming public outcry, council members decided not to waive the three-read rule, opting instead to allow more time for debate and discussion.

The council’s decision has bought time for further deliberation, but the controversy highlights the ongoing tensions between city leaders and residents over the regulation of marijuana businesses. For now, the future of dispensaries in Chillicothe remains uncertain, with more meetings and discussions on the horizon.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new report from Policy Matters Ohio has laid bare the glaring income disparities between CEOs and workers among Ohio’s largest publicly traded companies. In 2023, the median CEO pay surged to $14.9 million, equating to 308 times the median worker’s annual pay of $54,857—a significant increase from the previous year’s ratio of 273-to-1.
While CEO compensation rose nearly 20%, workers saw their inflation-adjusted wages drop by 0.45%, a loss of purchasing power equivalent to $251—roughly the cost of a month’s utility bill in Columbus. This growing divide reflects a system where wealth flows disproportionately to the top, leaving the workers who generate value struggling to make ends meet.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="701" height="448" src="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-085239.png" alt="" class="wp-image-60204" srcset="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-085239.png 701w, https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-085239-300x192.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-the-data-behind-the-disparity">The Data Behind the Disparity</h3>
Policy Matters Ohio analyzed the pay structures of 50 of the state’s largest publicly traded companies, which collectively employ nearly 10% of Ohio’s workforce. Key findings include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Charter Communications: CEO Christopher Winfrey earned $89 million in 2023, 1,635 times more than the company’s median worker.</li>
<li>Abercrombie & Fitch: CEO Fran Horowitz was paid 6,076 times the median worker, who earned just $2,475 annually in part-time seasonal work—below Ohio’s minimum wage.</li>
</ul>
Nine of these employers paid median wages below $15 per hour, a level that qualifies many full-time employees for public assistance programs like food stamps and Medicaid.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-historical-context-and-policy-failures">Historical Context and Policy Failures</h3>
The report traced the roots of these inequities back to Reagan-era tax cuts and deregulation, which shifted economic power toward corporate elites. The disparity has grown as corporations have increasingly rewarded executives with stock buybacks and equity compensation, inflating CEO earnings without benefiting workers.
In 1978, the national CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 31-to-1. Today, it stands at 308-to-1 in Ohio’s largest companies, reflecting decades of policies that have favored the wealthy at the expense of working people.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="710" height="360" src="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-085212.png" alt="" class="wp-image-60205" srcset="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-085212.png 710w, https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-02-085212-300x152.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px" /></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-proposed-reforms">Proposed Reforms</h3>
To address this imbalance, Policy Matters Ohio recommends:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Tax Penalties for Extreme Pay Ratios: Cities like Portland, OR, and San Francisco, CA, have implemented taxes on companies with outsized pay gaps. Similar measures in Ohio could generate millions in revenue for public programs.</li>
<li>Elimination of Stock Buybacks: Once illegal, stock buybacks now serve as a tool for executives to inflate share prices and their own compensation. Prohibiting this practice would ensure profits are reinvested in workers and communities.</li>
<li>A Livable Minimum Wage: Raising Ohio’s minimum wage to $15 per hour, as proposed in pending state legislation, would provide much-needed relief to hundreds of thousands of workers.</li>
<li>Strengthened Union Protections: Expanding union rights would empower workers to negotiate fair wages and improve workplace conditions, countering corporate power.</li>
</ol>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-a-call-for-economic-justice">A Call for Economic Justice</h3>
The findings underscore the urgent need for systemic change. Ohio’s economy, like much of the nation’s, prioritizes shareholder profits and executive wealth over the well-being of the workers who sustain it. Adopting these reforms would represent a step toward a more equitable system where prosperity is shared by all, not hoarded by a few at the top.

According to the patrol, 911 dispatchers were notified of the crash and reported that the driver was unresponsive. Emergency services (EMS) from Union Township were dispatched to the scene.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WAVERLY, Ohio — A popular pizzeria is bidding farewell. Lloyd’s Pizza, in Waverly, known for its homemade pies announced via social media on Friday that it will suspend business operations indefinitely. The pizzeria’s last day of service will be today, November 30.
In the post, the owners expressed their regret over the decision, writing, “It is with regret that we announce our decision to suspend business operations indefinitely, with November 30 serving as our last day. The business, in its entirety, including equipment, has been made available for purchase. Parties interested in acquiring the business may express their interest via this messaging platform.”
The announcement has already sparked an outpouring of reactions from loyal customers
The owners further clarified that they will not be selling any equipment separately from the sale of the business. They encouraged potential buyers to reach out with questions, adding, “Those thinking of purchasing, just know that the asking price is less than you would spend on starting a pizza shop from the ground up.”
While the specific reasons behind the closure remain private, the owners hinted at the difficulty of their decision, stating, “We honestly hate to even do this.”

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ROSS COUNTY, Ohio — Residents in the Huntington Hills area along State Route 772 have raised concerns about discolored water following water main breaks this week. The issue, which has left some households with stained laundry and unclear tap water, has sparked frustration over the lack of communication from the Ross County Water Company.
One resident took to social media to voice their concerns, sharing an image of discolored laundry and questioning why no boil water advisory had been issued. “You would think they would put something on their website at least. I am even signed up for email alerts and received nothing. Can anyone explain, please?” the post read.

Another resident commented on the situation, describing their own efforts to resolve the issue after calling the water company. “They told me to run cold water for a few minutes till it starts running clear again. I had to run it for about 10 minutes before it was actually clear. The toilet took several flushes before it was clear again as well,” the commenter shared.
Despite the growing concerns, the Ross County Water Company has not issued any public advisory or provided updates on the situation. Efforts by The Guardian to reach the company for comment have been unsuccessful.
As of now, residents are urged to monitor their water quality and take precautions, such as running faucets until the water is clear or boiling water for drinking and cooking, if needed. 
Stay tuned for updates as more information becomes available.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/11/29/laundry-ruined-ross-county-residents-voice-frustration-over-discolored-water/">Laundry ruined: Ross County residents voice frustration over discolored water</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of State has issued a statement recognizing International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, highlighting the contributions of women who advocate for human rights and fundamental freedoms globally.
Matthew Miller, spokesperson for the department, emphasized the challenges faced by women human rights defenders (WHRDs), who are often subjected to threats, harassment, and gender-based violence. Despite these risks, Miller noted, these individuals “remain unwavering in their commitment to defend human rights” and play a vital role in building a more equitable and just world. The United States, he added, is committed to ensuring that WHRDs can carry out their work in safe environments and without fear of reprisal.
Observed annually on November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day honors women and gender-diverse individuals who dedicate their lives to protecting human rights, often under significant personal risk.
The day was first celebrated in 2005 during the International Consultation on Women Human Rights Defenders held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It was established to address the gender-specific challenges faced by women activists and to advocate for stronger protections for their work. The date aligns with the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a global campaign running from November 25 (International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women) to December 10 (Human Rights Day).
The State Department’s statement also serves as a reminder of the ongoing threats faced by WHRDs, including online and offline harassment, legal and institutional discrimination, and physical violence. By commemorating this day, the United States joins the international community in reaffirming support for human rights defenders and advocating for their safety.
The concept of women human rights defenders gained prominence in the late 20th century as part of global efforts to recognize the unique risks faced by women activists. The United Nations adopted the Declaration on Human Rights Defenders in 1998, which underscored the importance of safeguarding all human rights activists. Over time, the need to address gender-specific risks led to the establishment of a dedicated day for WHRDs.
International Women Human Rights Defenders Day continues to serve as a platform for raising awareness, celebrating resilience, and advocating for the protection of women defenders worldwide.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/11/29/state-department-recognizes-international-women-human-rights-defenders-day/">State Department recognizes International Women Human Rights Defenders Day</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[CRYSTAL CITY, Virginia — Amazon employees across 20 countries, including the United States, walked off the job on Black Friday, joining a coordinated wave of protests to demand better working conditions and to criticize what they call anti-worker practices by the retail giant.
The strikes, organized under the “Make Amazon Pay” campaign led by UNI Global Union, coincide with one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. From Black Friday through Cyber Monday, Amazon’s warehouses and delivery systems face intense pressure to fulfill a surge in orders. The protests threaten to disrupt operations, potentially delaying deliveries and impacting holiday shoppers chasing deals.
In New York, Amazon Teamsters held a protest following allegations of harassment at the company’s DBK4 facility in Queens. Workers there claim a union-busting consultant, hired by Amazon, used homophobic slurs and threatened a delivery driver, Emmanuel T., who was later suspended by Amazon pending an investigation. This incident has fueled anger among employees and highlighted broader efforts to unionize Amazon’s workforce nationwide.

“This is more than just harassment,” said Emmanuel. “It’s about creating safe, fair workplaces. We need union contracts that protect all workers, especially those from vulnerable communities.”
Amazon drivers at the Queens facility joined the Teamsters union in September, but Amazon has not yet recognized the union or begun contract negotiations. The delay has prompted multiple unfair labor practice charges, with workers now demanding Emmanuel’s reinstatement and the removal of union-busting staff from the site.
The unrest at DBK4 mirrors a growing labor movement within Amazon’s U.S. operations. In recent months, workers at five facilities, including major hubs in Kentucky and California, have joined the Teamsters, with walkouts and protests becoming increasingly common. Globally, the “Make Amazon Pay” campaign is spotlighting allegations of exploitative labor practices, environmental harm, and corporate disregard for democratic principles.
For Amazon customers, the strikes raise concerns over delivery delays during the holiday shopping frenzy. Labor advocates argue that these disruptions highlight the human cost of meeting the immense demand placed on Amazon’s workforce.
As protests gain momentum worldwide, Amazon workers are calling for union recognition and significant reforms, potentially forcing the trillion-dollar corporation to reassess its labor practices during one of its most profitable seasons.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[NICK EVANS, Ohio Capital Journal — The past year hasn’t been good to many Ohio farmers. In August, a handful of southeastern counties received drought disaster designations. Before the month was out, that list had ballooned to 22 counties throughout Appalachian Ohio. At of early November, the total has risen to 52 counties, cutting a diagonal swath from Northwest Ohio to the Southeast.
The U.S. Drought Monitor ranks drought conditions on a five-point scale running from D0 (abnormally dry) to D4 (exceptional drought). At that highest level, you can expect “exceptional and widespread” crop or pasture losses, and water emergencies stemming from shortages in reservoirs, streams and wells.
In the latest drought map, Ohio has a patch of D4 drought situated over Guernsey and Noble Counties that looks something like Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. Rep. Don Jones, R-Freeport, represents some of those highly impacted areas, and he’s co-sponsoring a measure to help farmers.
<figure class="wp-block-image" id="attachment_28881"><a href="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/?attachment_id=28881"><img decoding="async" src="https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20241119_oh_text-1024x791.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-28881"/></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> Ohio’s U.S. Drought Monitor map as of Nov. 19, 2024. (Map by Richard Tinker NOAA/NWS/NCEP/CPC)</figcaption></figure>
“The stories are endless,” he told the House finance committee earlier this month.
“People are paying as much as $80 a bale for a round bale of hay — if they can find it, sometimes more than that. Many farmers have also been forced to sell off livestock because they don’t have the feed to take care of it, so it’s either buy hay or sell the livestock.”
He and committee chairman Rep. Jay Edwards, R-Nelsonville, have proposed a $10 million appropriation to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, to provide additional money through soil and water districts to support farmers dealing with drought. There’s some federal support available, but Jones and Edwards argue that’s not enough.
But the appropriation they’re proposing is significant — nearly doubling the funding already budgeted to soil and water districts in the state. And Jones argued even that might not be sufficient.
“I think we’re going to have to take a look at this again after the first year, because we don’t know what the winter is going to be like,” he said. “We have a budget coming up that we’re going to probably have to look at doing some more — this is just the first bite at the apple.”

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-stakeholder-perspective">Stakeholder perspective</h4>
Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Brian Baldridge described how the drought has been particularly hard on people raising livestock. Drought means less forage in their own pastures and tightening supply of hay. It also means depleted groundwater which many farmers have supplemented by trucking in water. Federal programs can soften the blow he argued, but they come with prerequisites.
“Yes, you can get paid for hauling hay if it’s more than 25 miles,” he said, “Yes, you can get paid for hauling water and get reimbursed for that water that you purchase, but there’s a lot of gaps in between there, and it’s not fully reimbursed.”
He added that federal programs, which serve farmers across the entire country, don’t have the same understanding of local needs and dynamics.
Ashley Kasler serves as an organization director with the Ohio Farm Bureau in Southeast Ohio. Her family also runs a cow-calf and hay farm.
In her telling the past year has been a rollercoaster for farmers in her area. Early spring, there was enough rain many farmers worried if they’d be able to plant.
“Then the rain stopped,” she said. “Fields that we’re once worried about being too wet, now looking like they had never seen water at all.”
The first cutting of hay was a bit dry, but ok; by the second cutting yields were down significantly, and a third was “all but an afterthought,” she said. That meant many farmers began digging into hay stores meant to carry their livestock through the winter.
“We would normally start feeding hay in mid-November,” she said. “Now we have been feeding hay since mid-June. Normally, for those needing to buy round bales, you would pay about $40 to $45 per round bale. It’s now close to $80 to $85.”
“Think what your business would go through in six months if unexpected overhead costs popped up out of nowhere and the price doubled,” she added.

In committee, lawmakers primarily asked different versions of why aren’t we doing more?
“I mean we needed it this summer, right?” Rep. Tom Young, R-Washington Twp., asked. “Shouldn’t we do something more now, if we can, versus coming back and waiting until we get into drought season again?”
Jones stressed that “we don’t know where this ends,” and said he didn’t want to ask for too much now and risk lawmakers souring later when the need might be greater.
Rep. Dani Isaacsohn, D-Cincinnati, cautious not to actually mention climate change asked if an ad hoc approach is really the best way to address the problem.
“This is not the last time this is going to happen,” he said. “Unfortunately, this is going to get worse. It’s going to get more frequent.”
He asked Baldridge if the department is thinking about a climate mitigation fund or some state level version of crop insurance, and what approaches other states are considering.
“Because right now, it’s these farmers who are acutely impacted,” he said. “In the future will either be other farmers (or) it could be, honestly, if it goes the other direction, it will be basements in places in Cincinnati that people can’t afford to fix, right?”
Rep. Bob Peterson, R-Washington Court House, jumped in a few minutes later to warn against “irrational exuberance,” and attempting to recreate crop insurance when the federal program is “very robust.”
“The one gap probably that exists right now in federal crop insurance is is these haying grazing operations. And I appreciate the work that the administration and you have done to try and address that gap that’s out there, but I don’t see need to step into what the federal government does very well.”
Whatever the quibbles on the margins, lawmakers on the panel had no qualms with advancing the funding. The measure was introduced and reported favorably in the same hearing. It still needs approval of the full House and the Senate, but given its rapid rollout and broad support, the measure seems to likely to be a priority in final weeks of the legislative session.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/11/29/house-panel-advances-drought-bailout-for-farmers-around-ohio/">House panel advances drought bailout for farmers around Ohio</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[SCIOTO COUNTY, Ohio — A Wheelersburg man is in custody following a bold daylight burglary that occurred on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. According to Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman, deputies responded to a 911 call at 3:17 p.m. reporting that a male suspect had broken into a home. The caller stated her son was inside attempting to stop the intruder.
Deputies and detectives arrived on the scene within minutes. Investigators determined that the suspect had stolen items from the residence before fleeing on foot. A rapid search of the area led detectives to locate and detain the suspect, who had hidden the stolen items behind a nearby apartment complex.
Sheriff Thoroughman credited the swift response and arrest to the efforts of Detective Sgt. Jodi Conkel, Detective John Cart, and Deputies Craig Ashley and Alicia Underwood.
The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Jazmine Allen of Wheelersburg, has been charged with second-degree felony burglary and first-degree misdemeanor theft. He is being held on a $76,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Portsmouth Municipal Court on Monday, December 2, 2024.
Further investigation revealed that Allen is connected to a series of vehicle break-ins and attempted break-ins in the Kinker Drive and Dogwood Ridge areas. Sheriff Thoroughman is urging any residents who believe they may have been victimized to contact the sheriff’s office to file a report.
“This is still an ongoing investigation,” Sheriff Thoroughman said, noting that additional charges are expected to be presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury at a later date.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is encouraged to contact Detective Sgt. Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/11/29/suspect-arrested-in-home-burglary-linked-to-vehicle-break-ans-in-wheelersburg-area/">Suspect arrested in home burglary, linked to vehicle break-ans in Wheelersburg area</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will transition to two modern and secure sign-in options—Login.gov and ID.me—for accessing its online services. The change, set to take effect in 2025, will replace existing sign-in methods for My HealtheVet and DS Logon.
After January 31, 2025, Veterans, beneficiaries, and caregivers will no longer be able to use My HealtheVet usernames and passwords. Similarly, access via DS Logon credentials will end on September 30, 2025. Moving forward, users will need a verified Login.gov or ID.me account to access VA.gov, the VA: Health and Benefits mobile app, and other VA online services.
The VA is providing resources to assist with the transition. Users can begin the process now by visiting <a href="http://www.va.gov/sign-in-changes">www.va.gov/sign-in-changes</a> to create a verified account. Setting up a Login.gov or ID.me account takes about 10 minutes, and Veterans who do not transition by the deadlines can still regain access to their benefits and services after creating an account.
This update affects only account-based online services. Many VA webpages, such as those offering general information, forms, or claim instructions, will remain accessible without signing in.
Veterans and caregivers are encouraged to review the changes and prepare ahead of the deadlines to ensure continued access to VA services. For more information, visit the VA’s website.The post <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com/2024/11/29/va-to-implement-new-sign-in-options-for-online-services-by-2025/">VA to implement new sign-in options for online services by 2025</a> first appeared on <a href="https://sciotovalleyguardian.com">Scioto Valley Guardian</a>.]]></content:encoded>
