Staff Report

OHIO VALLEY — Though the reopening of
the area has began, conﬁrmed COVID-19 cases,
and recovered cases, in the Ohio Valley Publishing
readership area, continue to be monitored.
The latest regional update regarding COVID-19
in Mason, Meigs and Gallia counties, as of Monday evening, is as follows:
On Friday, the West Virginia Department of
Health and Human Resources reported Mason
County had a total of 15 conﬁrmed positive
COVID-19 cases. This number was conﬁrmed
on Monday by Jennifer Thomas, nursing director/administrator of the Mason County Health
Department. Of these 15 cases, 13 are considered
recovered.
The Gallia Health Department released a statement Sunday via its Facebook page stating that
Gallia may have had seven cases of COVID-19
after another added probable case was reported
through a positive antibody test.
“We apologize for not releasing an updated daily
chart for yesterday and today,” reads the statement. “We’re now reporting 5 lab conﬁrmed cases
and 2 probable cases for a total of 7 cases. The
added probable case comes from a positive antibody test and the individual has since recovered.
The difﬁculty in reporting this information is not
all positive antibody tests will be reported as probable. There are multiple factors in the new CDC
reporting guidelines of antibody tests and we’re
trying to report the most concise and consistent
data. As a reminder, antibody tests are not 100%

Ohio will crackdown
on bars violating
social distancing
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Police ofﬁcers
and health investigators
will be making safety
checks at Ohio’s bars
after photos on social
media showed people
drinking on crowded
patios during the ﬁrst
weekend that bars
and restaurants were
allowed to reopen, Gov.
Mike DeWine said
Monday.
The governor warned
that bar owners could
wind up in court or
lose their liquor licenses if they don’t take
steps to control their
customers.
“Our economic recovery in the state of Ohio
is tied directly in how
successful we are stopping the spread of the
coronavirus,” DeWine
said.
Health departments,
including those in
Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Columbus, were

investigating several
complaints about a lack
of social distancing at
crowed bars and restaurants over the weekend.
Friday was the ﬁrst
day that establishments
were allowed to resume
outdoor dining and
drinking.
The Ohio Restaurant
Association wrote in
an email to members
Saturday evening that
there were concerns
about reports of establishments not operating in accord with the
governor’s guidelines,
which includes requiring customers to be
seated when eating or
drinking.
The organization
said it’s likely “these
are isolated incidents
and not reﬂective of
our industry’s overall
positive response to
reopening safely.”

Eagles receive diplomas in ‘virtual’ graduation
By Sarah Hawley

shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

REEDSVILLE — “No
matter what paths or
choices we choose to follow, remember to always
‘Live Original’.”
That was the message
of Eastern High School
Class of 2020 Valedictorian Faith Bauerbach as
she addressed members
of the graduating class
during the broadcast of
the virtual graduation
ceremony on Sunday
afternoon.
Due to COVID-19 and
the resulting restrictions,
the 63rd annual Commencement Exercises
for Eastern High School
were recorded during the
week of May 4 and put
together in to a video
by Bartee Photography,
which was released
online at the original
graduation time of 2 p.m.
on Sunday.
The video included
the slides featuring baby
and senior photos of the
graduates, along with
their senior quotes; a
walk through the halls; a
welcome by Class President Hannah Faulisi;

of Education members;
and slides listing future
plans of graduates, along
with their awards, scholarships and high school
activities.
“I think I can speak
for everyone when I say
I never imagined this
is how we would be
graduating. … Because
of COVID-19, I am saddened that I am only able
to have a limited amount
of family members in
front of me today, as a I
am sure the rest of you
are too,” said Bauerbach.
“Through this difﬁcult
time there are still people
that are proud of you,
still people that made a

way for us to graduate,
and still a God that loves
you and is with you every
step of the way.”
In her address, Bauerbach to live their life,
living “unique” and
“original”.
“Sadie Robertson
reminds us to ‘live
unique’, to ‘follow our
plan created for our
lives’, and to ‘live originally’,” said Bauerbach.
“No matter where life
takes us after today, we
will know that our class
will be remembered for a
long time. We must not
think too hard on what
we may have missed out
on in our last days of
high school, but what our
future will bring us now
that we are graduated
and starting a new chapter in our lives.”

In his Salutatorian
address, Michael Letson
spoke about the events
unfolding around the
class of 2020 and the
importance of where
the graduates are at this
time.
“In contrast to popular
belief, I believe a high
school diploma is the
most important form of
education that one can
receive,” said Letson,
explaining his reasoning.
“One cannot get into
college, a trade school,
or attain many forms of
employment in the workforce without it. The
number of possibilities
that one has after receiving their high school
diploma are inﬁnite. And
for this reason, I encourage each and everyone
of you to follow the road
that you want to travel.
It is important that you
pursue the path that you
want to travel, and never
let anyone stand in your
way.”
Letson also spoke
about how the class of
2020 is “destined for
greatness” due to the
events that have shaped
their lives.
“We entered this world
when our country was in
turmoil and distress due
to the terrible terrorist
attacks on September
11, 2001, and we are
graduating, which for

Buckeye Hills arranging airlift of PPE
Staff Report

MARIETTA — A much-needed
delivery of personal protective
equipment is being airlifted to
Southeast Ohio for distribution to
front-line home healthcare workers. Buckeye Hills Regional Council (BHRC) is partnering with
Noble County EMA in coordinating the airlift with support from
the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), in response to
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The Appalachian Regional Commission announced on May 12 a
grant in the amount of $119,554 to
BHRC to deliver personal protective equipment (PPE) to front-line
home healthcare workers.
Throughout BHRC’s eight

county region of Athens, Hocking,
Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble,
Perry, and Washington counties,
more than 200 cases of COVID-19
have been conﬁrmed with a total
of at least 20 conﬁrmed deaths.
With this investment, BHRC
will serve 1,945 patients by equipping 39 home healthcare provider
agencies throughout the eightcounty region. The delivery is
anticipated to include 200,000
N95 masks, 20,490 gowns, 4,000
gloves, and 2,500 N95 respirators.
Buckeye Hills worked with Global
Rapid Response Group to arrange
for the airlift of the PPE into
Ohio, coordinated with the home
healthcare provider companies to
identify needs, and accessed the
ARC funding. Noble EMA is lead-

ing the planning for distribution of
the PPE to the providers, as well
as coordinating the means of transporting the supply once it arrives.
“At the beginning of the pandemic, it quickly became clear to
us that our region’s home healthcare providers were struggling to
ﬁnd and maintain access to the
supplies necessary to keep their
employees and the seniors they
serve safe in the midst of this
pandemic,” said Rick Hindman,
BHRC Assistant Executive Director.
Front-line nurses and home
health aides routinely enter the
homes of elderly persons, those

Rotary Donates $100K to food banks

Ohio
From page 1

Here are the latest coronavirus-related
developments in Ohio:

COLUMBUS — In
response to the Coronavirus pandemic in Ohio and
across the world, District
6690 Rotary Clubs recently
answered the emergency
plea for assistance by
donating $100,000 to the
Mid-Ohio Food Collective,
formerly Mid-Ohio Food
Bank, and Southeast Ohio
Food Bank.
District Governor Gary
Vaughan challenged the
clubs to donate $50,000 in
just four weeks to support
the food banks. To encourage club and individual
participation, Rotary District 6690 offered to match
the donations to provide
even more help for the
thousands of workers who
were suddenly unemployed
as businesses closed to
prevent the spread COVID19.
“I am so proud of our
Rotarians and their ability
to respond to this challenge to help the people
in our communities who
have lost their jobs and
need assistance from the
pantries. Many clubs also
made emergency donations
to their local food pantries
as soon as the shelter in
place order was made.
Strengthening our communities through service
is why we are Rotarians”
stated Vaughan.

Ohio has reached 1,657, state health ofﬁcials
said Monday.
The Ohio Department of Health also said
that 32 new deaths were reported in the past
day and that overall there have been a total of
5,000 hospitalizations.
Health ofﬁcials said there were now more
than 28,000 cases considered either conﬁrmed or probable.
For most people, the virus causes mild or
moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple
of weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are at higher risk of more
severe illness, including pneumonia, or death.
Prisons
A nurse who worked for the prison system
at its Correctional Reception Center in central Ohio died Sunday, becoming the third
department employee to die from the virus, a
spokeswoman said Monday.
Meanwhile, the prison system is reducing
widespread testing in favor of testing inmates
who show signs of COVID-19, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The approach better
protects inmates, staff and the community,
spokeswoman JoEllen Smith told the paper.
“Testing only detects the presence of the
virus at a point in time and does not detect
the amount of virus in the body,” she said. “A
person could test negative one day and test
positive the next.”
Four inmates housed at three Ohio prisons
— Marion, Richland, and Allen correctional
institutions — have ﬁled a federal lawsuit
to enforce social distancing, get access to
cleaning supplies and increase the number
of inmates being released. More than 4,500
inmates have tested positive and 62 have died
at seven institutions.

Ohio prison system
resumes accepting
county jail inmates
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio prison system plans to resume accepting inmates from county
jails to begin their prison sentences, a practice suspended during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to
reduce overcrowding.
Beginning yesterday, the state was to take up to 50
inmates a day at the Correctional Reception Center
in central Ohio. Authorities will hold inmates a minimum of 35 days before transferring them to facilities
around the state based on their security level and
other factors.
The agency needs to resume housing inmates as
Ohio courts reopen, said JoEllen Smith, spokeswoman
for the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
“Reopening the reception process will be done in a
gradual controlled manner while we continue to carefully monitor county jail operations,” Smith said.
The announcement comes even as positive cases
of COVID-19 continue to rise in Ohio prisons along
with inmate deaths. More than 4,500 inmates systemwide have tested positive, or nearly one in 10, and 60
inmates have died, with deaths spread across seven
institutions.
More than 570 employees have tested positive and
two also have died, a guard and a nurse.
Ohio is second highest after Tennessee in its perprisoner case rate and has the fourth-highest COVID
prisoner death rate, according to an analysis of state
prison cases by The Marshall Project, a nonproﬁt
investigative news organization focused on the U.S.
criminal justice system.
However, unlike in Ohio, Tennessee has ordered
universal testing of all inmates, meaning Ohio’s numbers could be considerably higher.
Across the U.S., more than 25,000 inmates have
tested positive for COVID-19, and at least 370 have
died, according to the analysis. Thousands of correctional ofﬁcers across the country have also tested
positive.
Ohio’s current inmate population is 47,241, the lowest in several years. The state reduced the number of
inmates by 1,839 since March 24 through a combination of early releases spurred by the coronavirus to
ease crowding, regular releases for inmates whose
sentences were up, and the state’s decision to temporarily stop taking male inmates during the pandemic.

Coronavirus catchphrase taken from WWII
CINCINNATI (AP)
— A British general’s
pessimistic prediction
about a World War II
operation is showing
up as a coronavirus-era
catchphrase.
The top U.S. infectious disease expert,
Dr. Anthony Fauci,
urged caution in Senate
testimony last week on
reopening decisions,
including about children
and schools, saying “the
idea of having treatments available or a
vaccine to facilitate the
reentry of students into
the fall term would be
something that would be
a bit of a bridge too far.”
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican who
has earned praise for
aggressive measures
to curb the spread of
the virus, has used the
phrase while explaining
his decision to reverse
himself on requiring
people to wear masks in
public because of negative feedback.
It was a mandate
many people wouldn’t
accept, he said on ABC’s
“This Week,” calling it
“a bridge too far.”

“Who knew?” said
Alexander Lovelace, who
just earned his doctorate in American military
history at Ohio University after defending his
dissertation on the role
of the media in shaping
Allied strategy in World
War II, of the new use of
the phrase popularized
by journalist and author
Cornelius Ryan with his
1974 book “A Bridge
Too Far.”
“It is something that
kind of works it way into
popular culture without
really thinking about it,”
Lovelace said. “I guess it
is a little odd comparing
wearing a face mask to
the Second World War.”
DeWine said he hadn’t
read Ryan’s book, but
was familiar with it. He
said it was a good way to
explain his belief that the
masks “was one order
too many” for many
Ohioans.
“Frankly I was kind of
groping for an expression,” DeWine told The
Associated Press on
Friday. “That phrase just
popped into my head.”

made use of the Cornelius Ryan Collection
in the Ohio University
library during his doctoral research.
Ryan, who received a
honorary doctorate from
the school, was a friend
of the late Scripps College of Communication
Dean John Wilhelm, a
fellow war correspondent, and the school
houses his collection
of ﬁles, letters, audio
interviews and questionnaires.
Ryan, best known for
his D-Day book “The
Longest Day,” ﬁnished
“A Bridge Too Far”
months before his death
in 1974. It recounts
Operation Market
Garden, an initiative
in September 1944 to
punch through the Netherlands, cut off enemy
supply lines and ﬁnish
off German resistance
by that Christmas.
The strategy was
championed by British
Field Marshal Bernard
Montgomery, while
other Allied generals
favored using a broad
front approach with the
German military on the

run.
British Lt. Gen. Frederick Browning had
voiced caution.
“I think we might be
going a bridge too far,”
said Browning, proved
correct when the Allies
were stopped at Arnhem
road bridge as Germans mounted surprisingly strong opposition
behind two SS Panzer
divisions.
There were thousands
of casualties and missing men on both sides,
and war in Europe continued into May 1945.
Ryan’s book became a
1977 movie featuring an
All-Star cast including
Sean Connery, Michael
Caine, James Caan
and Robert Redford.
Browning was played
by Dirk Bogarde, a
1950s British leading
man whose quote in the
movie becomes: “Well,
as you know, I’ve always
thought that we tried to
go a bridge too far.”
The movie got lackluster reviews, with some
critics suggesting that
its nearly three-hour
length was a bridge too
far.

‘Matewan Massacre’ embodied miners’ struggles
MATEWAN, W.Va.
(AP) — The bullet holes
in the brick wall of a
former post ofﬁce serve
as a reminder of how
Appalachian coal miners
fought to improve the
lives of workers a century ago.
Ten people were killed
in a gun battle between
miners, who were led by
a local police chief, and a
group of private security
guards hired to evict
them for joining a union
in Matewan, a small
“company town” in West
Virginia.
Plans to publicly commemorate what became
known as the Matewan
Massacre have been
delayed by the coronavirus pandemic until
September at least. But
historians consider the
bloodshed on May 19,
1920, memorialized in
the 1987 ﬁlm “Matewan,” to be a landmark
moment in the battles
for workers’ rights that

raged across the Appalachian coalﬁelds in the
early 20th century.
“The company town
system was extremely
oppressive,” said Lou
Martin, a history professor at Chatham University in Pittsburgh and
a board member of the
West Virginia Mine Wars
Museum in Matewan.
“The company owned
the houses, the only
store in town, ran the
church and controlled
every aspect of the miners’ lives.”
Company towns were
particularly prevalent in
remote areas like southern West Virginia, which
had the nation’s largest
concentration of nonunion minors in 1920.
And when the United
Mine Workers came to
town, coal companies
retaliated.
The Stone Mountain
Coal Co. hired BaldwinFelts Agency detectives
to evict union families

from company-owned
homes. Executive
Albert Felts brought a
dozen men to Matewan,
including two who had
been involved in violent
strike-breaking efforts
six years earlier in Ludlow, Colorado.
The detectives
removed the families and
were headed out when
they were confronted by
a group led by Matewan
Police Chief Sid Hatﬁeld.
Killed in the gunﬁre
were Albert Felts, his
brother, Lee, ﬁve other
Baldwin-Felts detectives,
Matewan Mayor Cabell
Testerman and two
bystanders.
Fifteen months later,
Hatﬁeld was gone,
too, gunned down by
Baldwin-Felts detectives
on the McDowell County
courthouse steps. He
was 28.
More determined
than ever to organize,
miners marched by the
thousands, leading to

the 12-day Battle of Blair
Mountain in the summer
of 1921. Sixteen men
died before they surrendered to federal troops.
The UMW’s campaign
in southern West Virginia then stalled, along
with labor setbacks in
steel, meat packing and
railroads following World
War I. Appalachian coal
operators felt they needed to remain nonunion
in order to survive, Martin said.
“They believed everything else was against
them — the terrain,
freight rates,” he said.
“But paying lower
wages, they could stay
in business and remain
proﬁtable.”
But “miners would
long remember the
lengths that the companies went to to prevent
them from having basic
rights that would help
them organize and get a
standard of living,” Martin said.

Harvick wins
at Darlington
as NASCAR
returns
DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) —
This was a 400-mile drive unlike
any other in modern day NASCAR.
The grandstands were completely empty. There wasn’t a single
tailgate inside the track. Everyone
wore face coverings — some with
the team logos, others opting for
plain disposable medical masks. It
was nothing close to the corporate
sponsorship, pomp and patriotic
traveling circus that symbolizes
NASCAR.
But when the engines ﬁred at
Darlington Raceway following a
10-week layoff during the coronavirus pandemic, it turned into a
regular old race.
Kevin Harvick beat Alex Bowman to win NASCAR’s ﬁrst race
back, a spectacle closely watched
to see if the largest motorsports
series in the United States could
successfully return to the track.
“I just want to thank everybody
from NASCAR and all the teams
for letting us do what we do,”
Harvick said. “I didn’t think it was
going to be that different, then we
won and it’s dead silent out here.
We miss the fans.”
It was a crucial gamble for NAS CAR, which had to get back to the
track to stave off ﬁnancial ruin.
With races on hold, no money was
coming into the sport whatsoever
and the NASCAR business model
can not sustain the lack of revenue.
NASCAR developed a health
plan approved by ofﬁcials in both
South Carolina and North Carolina
and scheduled seven races over
the next 11 days at two tracks. As
other states began to open, the
series tacked more races to ﬁll the
calendar with 20 events across
seven Southern states between
now and June 21. There will be
no spectators at least through that
date.
This ﬁrst event was called the
“The Real Heroes 400” and dedicated to health care workers ﬁghting the coronavirus pandemic.
The names of health care workers
across the country were substituted for the drivers’ name above the
door on each of the 40 cars.
The industry had to be extremely
careful because to even get to the
Coca-Cola 600 next week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, NASCAR
had to get it right at Darlington.

Atlanta Braves mascot Blooper warms up along side Miami Marlins’ Starlin Castro before a baseball game on April 6, 2019, in Atlanta.

Shower at home, don’t spit, Mr Met stay away
NEW YORK (AP) —
Major League Baseball will
look somewhat like high
school ball this year under
protocols to deal with the
new coronavirus, with showers at ballparks discouraged
and players possibly arriving in uniform, like they did
when they were teenagers.
Team personnel will be
banned from eating at restaurants on road trips.
Even the Phillie Phantic
and Mr. Met will be missing,
banned from the ﬁeld along
with all other team mascots.
The traditional exchange
of lineup cards would be
eliminated, along with highﬁves, ﬁst bumps, and bat
boys and girls, according
to a 67-page draft of Major
League Baseball’s proposed
2020 Operations Manual.
A copy was sent to teams
Friday and obtained by
The Associated Press. The
guidelines, ﬁrst reported by
The Athletic, are subject to
negotiation with the players’
association.
Teams will be allowed to
have 50 players each under
the plan, with the number
active for each game still be
negotiated.
Spitting is prohibited
along with water jugs and
the use of saunas, steam
rooms, pools and cryotherapy chambers. Hitting in
indoor cages is discouraged,
batting gloves encouraged.
Batting practice pitchers
are to wear masks, dugout
telephones disinfected
after each use. Players may
not touch their face to
give signs, and they’re not
allowed to lick their ﬁngers.
Teams are encouraged to
hold meetings outdoors,
players spread apart.
Teams were asked to
respond with their suggested input by May 22. The
protocols were written by
MLB senior vice presidents
Patrick Houlihan, Bryan
Seeley and Chris Young, and
vice president Jon Coyles.
Young is a former pitcher
who retired after the 2017
season.
Protocols include details
on testing for team staff,
who are divided into three
tiers. All others may not
enter clubhouses, dugouts
and the ﬁeld.
Seats in the empty stands
near the dugout should be
used to maintain distance,
according to diagrams in the
manual, and the next day’s
starting pitcher can’t sit in
the dugout. Everyone must
keep their distance during
“The Star-Spangled Banner”
and “God Bless America,”

Fielders are “encouraged
to retreat several steps
away from the baserunner”
between pitches. First and
third base coaches are not
to approach baserunners or
umpires, and players should
not socialize with opponents.
Managers and coaches
must wear masks while in
the dugouts. The entire
traveling party — including
players — must wear personal protective equipment
while on buses and ﬂights.
Restaurants are off limits on
the road, including the ones
in hotels, as are hotel ﬁtness
centers.
“We emphasize that this
is a ﬁrst draft, and will
undergo several rounds of
changes as we collect comments and suggestions from
the clubs, the players’ association, players, and government ofﬁcials,” deputy
commissioner Dan Halem
wrote in an email to owners,
team presidents and CEOs,
and general managers that
accompanied the protocols.
“The document is
designed to set minimum
standards and identify
best practices, but we have
attempted to provide clubs
with enough ﬂexibility to
achieve the desired health
and safety objectives in a
manner that is tailored to
their particular circumstances, including ballpark
conﬁguration, location,
and the nature of any local
governmental regulations or
restrictions,” Halem wrote.
Scoreboard video is prohibited but music allowed.
While there won’t be fans,
at least not at the start,
it will provide a familiar
background audio for the
telecasts critical to MLB’s
bottom line.
A ball will be thrown away
after it is touched by multiple players, and throwing
the ball around the inﬁeld
will be discouraged. Personnel who rub baseballs with
mud for the umpires must
use gloves.
“Individuals must avoid
any physical interactions
(such as high-ﬁves, ﬁst
bumps, or hugs) while at
club facilities,” the manual
says.
Tier 1 people in the plan
include players, managers
and coaches plus two each
from among physicians, athletics trainers and bullpen
catchers plus one strength
and conditioning coach.
Tier 2 includes clubhouse
staff, additional coaches,
medical and training staff,
traveling staff, owners, front

ofﬁce, translators, communications staff, video personnel, the head groundskeeper
and security plus players’
union and MLB staff along
with contractors.
Tier 3 covers broadcast
personnel and other event
services.
Players must wear masks
while in restricted areas
“except while on the ﬁeld or
engaging in other strenuous
activities” and lockers must
have at least 6 feet between
them. If needed, temporary
clubhouse space will be
added, preferably outdoors
or areas with better ventilation.
“Showering in club facilities should be discouraged,”
the plan says. “To the extent
showering occurs, clubs
should explore modiﬁcations
to facilities to allow for physical distancing and hygiene”
such as installing partitions
and limiting the number of
players using the showers at
the same time.
Teams “should consider
requiring (on-ﬁeld staff)
to arrive at club facilities
dressed for the day’s activities in order to limit time
spent in the clubhouse or
locker room.”
Only medical personnel
allowed near injured players.
There will be staggered
reporting dates for the
resumption of spring training. When pitchers and
catchers arrive, only ﬁve
players may work out at
a time. Then come full
team workouts, with small
groups encouraged but not
required, followed by exhibition games. There will be
intake screening upon arrival followed a self-quarantine
for 24-48 hours until results
are available. Players not
assigned to big league team
when the season starts will
remain at spring training or
another separate facility.
All games at spring training facilities in Florida and
Arizona, whether exhibition
or regular season, must be
scheduled for 7-9 p.m. local
time unless MLB gives speciﬁc consent.
A ﬁfth umpire would
be allowed when the temperature reaches a certain
level, allowing for rotation, including sharing of
plate umpire duties, Teams
should take batting practice
on back ﬁelds.
Among the road trip
changes:
—Use of Uber, subways
and public buses is banned.
—Private airports
encouraged and if not
available, teams are to use

private aviation facilities to
board and exit.
—Transportation Security Administration screen
should take place at ballparks if it can be arranged.
—In-ﬂight catering is
limited.
—Lower ﬂoors are to be
used if possible at hotels,
so stairs can be used
instead of elevators, and
private areas arranged for
entrances, exits and checkin.
—Six staggered bus trips
will be scheduled to and
from the ballpark.
Team staff, including
players, will be given thermometers for self screening
and are to take two tests
in quick succession each
morning.
At the ballpark, people
will be given temperature
checks twice a day and multiple ﬂuid swabs each week.
Comprehensive Drug Testing will collect samples and
Sports Medicine Research
and Testing Laboratory in
Salt Lake City is to provide
results within 24 hours.
Family members of
players, umpires and the
households of anyone covered under the plan will be
offered access to testing
and PPE. The individuals
are encouraged to avoid
crowd when away from
ballpark.
Anyone with a temperature of 100 or higher or
who exhibits COVID-19
symptoms or has come in
contact with someone conﬁrmed to be infected will
be subject to rapid testing

COVID-19 virus.
“These workers are essential in keeping seniors in
their homes and out of hospitals and nursing homes,
while also ensuring that
persons recently discharged
from hospitals are not readmitted,” said Jennifer Westfall, BHRC Aging &amp; Disability Director. “Breaking this
cycle of patients transitioning between care settings is
essential in preventing the
further spread of the virus
to the general population
and thereby keeping hospital beds free so acute care
facilities can maintain the
capacity needed to better
address the impacts of the
pandemic.”
ARC funding for this
project is provided through
a special ARC regional initiative which targets funds
to encourage and support
COVID-19 related economic
development.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) is
an economic development
agency of the federal government and 13 state governments focusing on 420
counties across the Appalachian region. ARC’s mission
is to innovate, partner, and
invest to build community
capacity and strengthen
economic growth in Appalachia and help the region
achieve socioeconomic parity with the nation. More
information is available at
www.arc.gov.
Buckeye Hills Regional
Council is a council of
governments dedicated
to improving the lives of
residents in southeast Ohio
and is one of Ohio’s 12
designated Area Agencies
on Aging, responding to
the needs of older adults
as advocates, planners, and
funders. In southeast Ohio,
BHRC provides education,
information, and referral
services while also working
with the public and private
sectors to help older adults
with home and communitybased long-term care. To

many is leaving the state
of dependence of our
parents, once again when
the country is in turmoil
and distress from the
COVID-19 pandemic,”
said Letson. “We can
take these events and let
them drag us down and
cause more negativity,
or we can use them as
a learning experience.
… Once things return
to a state of normalcy,
we should still stay connected and spend time
with our loved ones. We
should do things that
really matter.”
Letson closed with a
quote from long time
Eastern Board of Education member, and his biggest mentor, John Rice.
“John Rice says, ‘If
you never want to make
a mistake in your life,
stay inside and never do
anything. And I promise
you that will be the biggest mistake you could
ever make.’ I encourage
you, the Class of 2020, to
never be afraid of failure.
It means that you are
working, and that is the
key to being successful,”
concluded Letson.
