Mike DeWine announced Monday that he will extend the statewide curfew as Ohio surpassed 7,000 virus-related deaths. “We think the curfew, as well as the mask order and the enforcement, have slowed this rate of increase, but it is still at too high of a level,” DeWine said during a virus briefing. The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Ohio has risen over the past two weeks from 7,618 on Nov. 22 to 8,656 on Dec. 6, according to an Associated Press analysis of data provided by The COVID Tracking Project. One in every 193 people in Ohio tested positive for the virus in the past week. The statewide curfew of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., designated Nov. 17, is set to expire Thursday, but DeWine said it would have to be extended as health experts believe it is helping to marginally flatten the curve in Ohio. The measure would require businesses to be closed by 10 p.m. It exempts pharmacies and groceries and restaurants offering takeout or delivery service. Previously, DeWine had ordered restaurants and bars to stop serving alcohol at 10 p.m. The new order requires those businesses to close all dine-in and walk-in service by 10 p.m. The order doesn’t apply to people who need to be at work, who have an emergency or need medical care, DeWine said. The governor also pleaded once again with Congress to pass a relief package to states as benefits See DEWINE | 5 �2 Tuesday, December 8, 2020 OBITUARIES MILDRED ROSE RIGGS OBITUARIES/NEWS ROBERT ‘BOB’ BURKE In addition to COOLVILLE — his parents, he was Robert S. “Bob” preceded in death Burke, 78, of character traits of the POMEROY — Milby a son, Scott Greatest Generation, and Coolville, Ohio, dred Rose Riggs, 98, of Burke; brother, passed away FriPomeroy, Ohio, died Dec. her family will carry the Jerry Burke, sisday, Dec. 4, 2020 lessons she taught them 4, 2020, in her home, ter, Virginia Jean at Doctors Hospital through the rest of their surrounded by her loving Burke and his in Columbus, Ohio. family.

David Morgan Contributing columnist For the past six months I have been a strong advocate for mask wearing to the point of obsession. I have gotten into arguments and shouting matches with people over the necessity of social distancing, sanitizing and mask wearing. My concern was for people in my age group and above that may be dangerously affected by this virus as well as younger people who may be immune deficient for some reason or another. I followed all the guidelines with wearing masks, hand sanitizer and hand washing. I refuse to enter a building without a mask and have driven back home to get one rather than enter without one many times. Somewhere along the way I must have let down my guard and became a “victim” of this awful disease. Contracting it can come from many sources. One doesn’t know how, when or why it happens because it is basically invisible. I started not feeling well about two weeks ago but then I recently turned 66 and mornings are always rough at my age. The 19th of November I tested for the virus when I was in Huntington just to ease my mind because many close friends had come down with COVID19. Those results were negative at the time and I felt relieved. The weekend followed and I continued not to feel as well as I thought I should. Something was just not right. I tested again at one of the free testing sites being held in Mason County. There was no long line and I only waited about five minutes. They told me the results would be back in 24-72 hours and gave me a website to see the results. I was feeling worse by the day and suspected I may have contracted the virus, so I went into isolation until I got my results back. The last thing in the world at that point was not my concern for myself but for others. Four-and-ahalf days after testing I received my suspected positive result and a call early Sunday morning from the health department. I am now (as I write this column) on my eleventh day of isolation and plan to continue such until I feel I am virus free or get tested again. I have had mild symptoms of tiredness, some congestion, some coughing but nothing more than normal, clammy feeling, increased sweating, normal temperature, Pulse Ox remains at 96-98, blood pressure up slightly and smell and taste almost completely nonexistent. I have no appetite but continue to force myself to eat and drink plenty of water which I never do to prevent dehydration. I take one baby aspirin daily but increased this to one regular aspirin out of concern for blood clots which is common with COVID-19. I also increased my blood pressure medicine slightly to bring that down to normal. (Do not do this without proper advice). I think my blood pressure increased due to my anxiety, but it could be the virus. The worst I felt were days six-nine when I experienced what I can describe as a car sickness feeling. My advice after the fact is, buy a pulse OX meter, forehead thermometer and blood pressure kit beforehand to monitor your vitals; 93 and above is a safe area for your oxygen level. Below that consistently, seek help. Blood pressure above 140/90 also seek help. Temperature above 100.5 is another danger point. Wear a mask when outside isolation and don’t touch anything someone else may come in contact with. Use alcohol at all times. Have a can of Lysol spray, hand wipes and hand sanitizer close by. Make sure your pneumonia vaccine and flu shots are up to date especially those over 60. I have survived so far but it could have easily gone the other way. There are so many unknowns that will be discovered in the coming months and years ahead. Please don’t be one of those people who think “not me” or “masks don’t work.” It’s not a hoax, it’s here, it’s nasty and it’s something everyone should take seriously. The life you save might be a loved one taken too soon, a friend, a neighbor or someone’s child, heaven forbid. The long-term effects are unknown currently. When a vaccine becomes available, get in line. Thank God all those people 50 years ago got in line for the smallpox and Polio vaccines and understood it was a health issue. Dexamethasone, Remdisivir, Oxygen and blood thinners are the current choice of therapy and used at PVH. Monitoring of SpO2 is also critical and watched closely. Hydroxychloroquine is not proven effective and possibly fatal side effects especially for those with pre-existing heart conditions and not being used as far as I know. They do have ventilators also and using them when necessary. I hope my experience helps someone else. When I was at CVS many years ago, I helped develop their slogan “Together we are Helping People Lead Happier, Healthier Lives.” They have since changed that slogan to “For Your Own Good.” Combine those two together and we may just conquer this thing once and for ALL.

Athens Bulldogs outlast Gallia Academy, 42-40 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com THE PLAINS, Ohio — Too little … and then too late. The Gallia Academy boys basketball team came within a second of forcing overtime, but host Athens ultimately made a 13-point third quarter stick on Friday night during a 42-40 non-conference victory at McAfee Gymnasium. The visiting Blue Devils (1-1) mustered only a dozen points in a tightly-contested first half, but the Bulldogs (2-2) extended a 5-point halftime lead out to 29-16 late in the third quarter. GAHS, however, answered with a quick 7-2 surge that whittled the deficit down to 31-23 headed into the finale. The Blue and White hit 7-of-11 shot attempts in the fourth quarter and closed the gap down to 42-40, then had a chance to tie things up in the waning moments of regulation. Cooper Davis drove into the lane and managed a 10-foot runner in heavy traffic, but the shot attempt came up short and fell into the hands of Isaac Clary underneath. The big man gathered control of the ball as time expired, then released a successful putback after the buzzer — allowing AHS to hold on for the 2-point decision. The Blue Devils kept pace in the opening eight minutes as Kenyon Franklin and Noah Vanco hit trifectas while Athens built an early 10-8 edge, then the hosts used a small 7-4 second quarter run to extend the cushion out to 17-12 at the break. Brayden Whiting and Will Matters each scored six points for AHS during a 14-11 run in the third frame, giving the Green and Gold an 8-point advantage entering the stretch run. GAHS answered with a 17-11 surge that ultimately came up one basket short. Gallia Academy outrebounded the Bulldogs by a 32-26 overall margin, including an 11-6 edge on the offensive glass. GAHS also committed 16 of the 28 turnovers in the game. The Blue Devils connected on 16-of-48 field goals attempts for 33 percent, including a 5-of-16 effort from behind the arc for 31 percent. The guests were also 3-of-4 at the free throw line for 75 percent. Davis led Gallia Academy with 10 points, followed by Clary with nine points and a team-best dozen rebounds. Franklin, Carson Call and Brody Fellure were next with six markers apiece, while Vanco completed the scoring with three points. The Bulldogs went 19-of-48 from the floor for 40 percent, including a 1-of-15 effort from 3-point territory for seven percent.

Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. Owls soar past Marshall, 20-0 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — A generous portion of Rice went into this unsavory serving. The Marshall football team committed five turnovers and was shut out for the first time since the 2000 campaign following a 20-0 setback to visiting Rice on Saturday afternoon in a Conference USA matchup at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. The previously unbeaten Thundering Herd (7-1, 4-1 CUSA East) — who entered the game ranked 15th in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls — was held to a season-low 80 yards rushing while surrendering over 100 yards of rushing for the first time all season. The Owls (2-2, 2-2 CUSA West) produced five interceptions and finished the day plus-4 in turnover differential while also churning out 14 points off of those miscues. The hosts still outgained Rice by a 245-213 edge in total yards of offense and claimed a 19-17 advantage in first downs, but the Herd never pushed the ball any closer than the Rice 17-yard line. In fact, from its 10 offensive possessions, MU had only four drives last more than six plays … and only one covered more than 58 yards. The Green and White also had four consecutive 3-and-out drives to start the second half, amassing three turnovers and only eight yards of total offense from those dozen plays. The Silver and Blue, conversely, stuffed a pair of Collin Riccitelli field goals in between a pair of touchdowns, ultimately allowing RU to hand the Herd their first shutout loss since a 42-0 setback at Toledo back on Oct. 14, 2000. Marshall’s opening drive stalled at the Rice 18 due to a loss of downs, but the defense forced a punt and got the ball back at its own 28. Four plays later, however, Treshawn Chamberlin picked off a Grant Wells pass and returned it to the MU 47. Ten plays later, Jordan Myers gave the Owls a permanent lead of 7-0 after a 1-yard run with 1:06 remaining in the opening frame. Riccitelli tacked on a 39-yard field goal at the 5:49 mark of the second frame for a 10-0 edge, but he also missed a 23-yard attempt wide left at the very end of the first half. Riccitelli converted a 40-yard field goal at the 9:24 mark of the third period, capping a 4-play, 5-yard drive that made it a 13-0 contest. Wells — who had been picked off only four times through the first seven games of the year — threw his third interception at the 7:50 mark as Naeem Smith hauled in an errant pass and went 36 yards down the sideline for a pick-6 that ultimately wrapped up the 20-point outcome. Marshall was also hampered by yellow laundry after being penalized eight times for 80 yards, half of which resulted in drive-sustaining first downs for Rice. The Owls were flagged only five times for 35 yards. Brenden Knox paced the MU ground attack with 76 rushing yards on 20 attempts, with Wells adding four yards on eight totes while also completing 18-of-35 passes for 165 yards. Wells was also sacked three times to go along with the 5-interception day. Talik Keaton led the Marshall wideouts with seven catches for 48 yards. Eli Neal and Darius Hodge paced the Herd with 15 and 14 tackles respectively. Ari Broussard led Rice with 62 rushing yards on 19 attempts, followed by Khalan Griffin with 56 yards on 17 tries. JoVoni Johnson completed 10-of14 passes for 86 yards, while Jake Bailey had a team-best seven catches for 57 yards. Blaze Alldredge paced the Owls with 10 tackles and also joined Chamberlin, Smith, Josh Pearcy and Andrew Bird with an interception apiece. Marshall still leads the all-time series by a 5-3 count, but Rice managed to end a 2-game losing skid against the Herd. MU also had its 9-game home winning streak and 9-game CUSA home winning streak snapped. It was announced late Saturday the Marshall will not travel to Florida International next weekend due to a COVID-19 outbreak with the Panthers. The Herd, instead, will host Charlotte at 6:30 p.m. Friday night in the CUSA regular season finale for both programs. Marshall was originally scheduled to play the 49ers on Nov. 21, but the game was postponed at the time because of a COVID-19 outbreak with Charlotte. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Tuesday, December 8, 2020 7 AP SPORTS BRIEFS Ohio goes on 40-0 scoring run to set NCAA record ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio went on a 40-0 scoring run, spanning halftime, to set a NCAA record for a game involving two Division I men’s basketball teams, and the Bobcats beat Cleveland State 101-46 on Sunday. Lunden McDay closed the first half with a 3-pointer as Ohio scored the final five points for a 51-25 lead. Ohio then opened the second half by scoring the first 35 points — with 3-pointers from four different players. Cleveland State missed 17 straight shots during the run. The Vikings ended their scoring drought on a free throw with 8:03 left, and didn’t make its first field goal of the second half until the 5:10 mark. According to the NCAA record book, Oklahoma scored 39-straight points in a first-half run against Weber State on December 22, 2014. McDay scored 20 points and Dwight Wilson III had 18 points and 14 rebounds for Ohio (3-1). Jason Preston, named the MAC player of the week, had 12 points, on 5-of-6 shooting, seven rebounds and eight assists. Deante Johnson had nine points and six rebounds for Cleveland State (0-2). The Vikings went 0 for 12 from 3-point range in the second half and shot 12% (3 for 25). For the game, they were 3 of 23 from distance and shot 23%. Meanwhile, the Bobcats shot 59% from the field (35-59). West Virginia finishes strong, beats Georgetown 80-71 WASHINGTON (AP) — Miles McBride scored 17 points, Derek Culver had 14 and No. 11 West Virginia finished fast to beat Georgetown 80-71 Sunday in the first meeting between the former Big East rivals since 2014. Culver, the leading scorer and rebounder for the Mountaineers (4-1), was limited to just 18 minutes because of foul trouble. Emmitt Matthews had 13 points and Taz Sherman added 12 as West Virginia bounced back from a loss to top-ranked Gonzaga. Jahvon Blair led Georgetown (1-2) with 19 points while Jamorko Pickett added 11. Pickett tied it at 62 with a basket in the lane, but West Virginia ended the game on an 18-9 run. The Mountaineers have won six of the last seven against the Hoyas. The Mountaineers will play at home for the first time this season when they welcome Robert Morris to Morgantown on Wednesday. Crew downs Revolution 1-0 to reach MLS Cup final COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Artur scored in the 59th minute and the Columbus Crew advanced to the MLS Cup title game with a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution on Sunday in the Eastern Conference final. The third-seeded Crew will face the winner of the Western Conference final from Monday night between the defending champion Seattle Sounders and Minnesota United. Columbus had several good chances at the start, including Darlington Nagbe’s attempt in the fifth minute that was saved by goalkeeper Matt Turner. Turner went on to have five saves in the first half alone. The Crew finally broke through with Artur’s deftly placed goal just inside the post. It was the Brazilian midfielder’s third goal of the season. Gustavo Bou had a chance for the Revolution in stoppage time but his attempt was saved by Crew goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell. One of the league’s original teams, Columbus won the title in 2008, then hosted the MLS Cup in 2015, but lost to the Portland Timbers — then led by current Crew coach Caleb Porter. Trump to honor legendary Iowa wrestler Gable at White House WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will present the nation’s highest civilian honor to Dan Gable, a renowned wrestler and coach from Iowa who won a gold medal at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Trump used an October campaign rally to announce the selection of Gable for the Presidential Medal of Freedom, bringing him on stage to the delight of the crowd as he sought to win over Iowa voters.
