The Appalachian Children Coalition is a ﬁrst-of-its-kind regional partnership of Educational Service Centers (ESC); Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health (ADAMH) Boards; and K-12 school districts across 24 Southeast Ohio counties. The Coalition counts as members, the Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools, seven ESCs and four ADAMH boards, in total representing the signiﬁcant majority of counties, children and their families in the region. The Coalition will raise public awareness around the special challenges facing children from Southeast Ohio, who suffer from behavioral and mental health disorders at much higher rates than children elsewhere in the state. The Coalition will advocate for greater public federal and state support, and private medical and philanthropic investment directly inside and outside the classroom to improve the well-being of the region’s kids. The Coalition’s initial focus will be on three areas: s��+-5�90�38>/<8/>�+--/==M� +8.�>2/�8/1+>3@/�37:+->� >23=�2+=�98�+�7+49<3>C�90� 53.=�+-<9==�#9?>2/+=>� �239L�� Telemedicine and distance learning can help ameliorate the injustices that proliferate throughout the region. They will help us better educate our kids,and provide access to mental health professionals through telemedicine and wellness check options. The consequences of our failure to address the last mile of coverage have been made manifest by COVID. The chasm that already existed between rural and metropolitan communities has widened because of the former’s lack of access to this fundamental technology. The broadband divide is no longer tolerable, and state and federal policy makers must act now to rectify this wrong. s$2/�=29<>+1/�90�-236.� ,/2+@39<+6�2/+6>2� =:/-3+63=>=L� Most schools lack funds to hire certiﬁed behavioral health specialists, and as a consequence, they are unable to adequately meet the needs of children suffering from moderate to severe behavioral health conditions. Many children with developmental disabilities have, in recent years, been moved away from developmental disability facilities, and into public schools. Moreover, many children across the region have been impacted by the opioid crisis, and are living in dysfunctional homes, or resorting to “couch surﬁng” — a euphemism for teen homelessness, where a displaced minor rotates time spent with the families of friends or relatives. Local schools lack the funding necessary to hire behavioral health specialists qualiﬁed to deal with students with special needs. Children in need of professional help often go without, and the entire classroom is compromised. State and federal policymakers must allocate the resources necessary for rural, Appalachian schools to hire and retain these vital specialists. They must also do more to incentivize the education, recruitment and placement of behavioral health specialists in Southeast Ohio. s�$2/�6+-5�90�38[:+>3/8>M� +-?>/�-+</�0+-363>3/=L�� The number of beds available for children in need of inpatient, residential mental health treatment is shockingly low.

Racine Veterans Memorial Park was dedicated in May 1997, “In honor of the veterans who dutifully served our country.” The Memorial features bricks, each engraved with a service members name; a star on the brick signiﬁes the Veteran was killed in action. Fisher likened the reason for teaching the next generation what the Memorial Bricks represent to a verse from the Old Testament: After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the land God had promised them, God told their leader, Joshua, to set up a memorial on the site. According to scripture, the purpose of this memorial was so the people of Israel could teach their children the history of how God delivered them safely.

Mike DeWine said Tuesday, announcing a ramped-up effort in Ohio’s hardhit long-term care facilities. The governor said testing will also be done on residents who are most likely to have been exposed. Testing by 14 teams of medically trained National Guard members will begin this week. Testing of staff “will help nursing home administrators understand the status of the virus in their facilities and will help isolate the virus and help keep it from infecting their community,” DeWine said. Ohio has more than 900 nursing homes. Such widespread testing wasn’t possible before now because the testing capacity hadn’t been available, the governor said. Health Department data shows that about seven of every 10 coronavirus deaths in Ohio were among nursing home residents. Meanwhile, gyms, motor vehicle bureaus and pools were among the next groups of businesses and activities reopening Tuesday after stay-at-home orders shuttered them to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Across the state, long lines formed outside reopened Bureau of Motor Vehicle ofﬁces, including dozens in the Cleveland area, according to WEWS-TV. Republican Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, who is spearheading many reopening plans, has recommended people wait if possible since expired licenses are valid 90 days after Ohio’s state of emergency ends or Dec. 1, whichever comes ﬁrst. In other coronavirus-related news Tuesday: �+=/= The number of conﬁrmed and probable deaths associated with the coronavirus in Ohio has exceeded 2,000.

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 5 E-signature rule for ballot campaigns stayed COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A federal court panel temporarily stopped Ohio ballot campaigns Tuesday from proceeding under less restrictive signaturegathering rules they’d been granted amid the coronavirus pandemic. A three-judge panel of the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals stayed the more ﬂexible rules while the state ﬁghts a lower court judge’s May 19 decision setting them up. U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus Jr.’s had allowed campaigns promoting minimum wage, voting rights and marijuana issues to collect signatures electronically. He also extended the deadline for submitting signatures to July 31. Sargus stopped short of reducing the number of signatures required, as some courts elsewhere have done amid a spate of COVID-19-related signature-gathering challenges. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost appealed Sargus’ decision Thursday on behalf of fellow Republican Frank LaRose, the secretary of state. Yost asked the full Sixth Circuit to take up the case en banc. The state argues, among other things, that “wet ink” signature requirements laid out in Ohio’s Constitution cannot be changed without a vote of the people. The case has been expedited. Labs able to differentiate hemp from marijuana COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An upgrade in equipment at Ohio’s three state crime labs has allowed technicians to differentiate between industrial hemp and marijuana but is not likely to have much effect on how law enforcement agencies enforce drug laws. Upgraded testing began two weeks ago at state crime labs in Richﬁeld, Bowling Green and London, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Cities throughout the state, including Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, no longer ﬁne or jail people caught with small amounts of marijuana. The Ohio Legislature last year approved the cultivation of hemp, a cannabis plant that is supposed to contain less than .3% THC, the psychoactive and intoxicating ingredient in marijuana. Prior to the upgrade, Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation crime labs could not measure the amount of THC in cannabis samples. Columbus stopped enforcing low-level marijuana cases when ofﬁcials became concerned that defense attorneys would insist on lab tests of seized marijuana, the newspaper reported. Some cities continue to enforce marijuana possession laws. Norwalk City Prosecutor Douglas Sassen said police in that central Ohio city prosecute marijuana cases using state laws despite a city ballot measure from 2016 that called for no jail time or ﬁnes for low-level possession.

For the ﬁrst time, the show will feature three hosts in remote settings and a changed focus. Instead of honoring the past year’s top athletes and moments in sports, the show is celebrating heroism and humanitarian aid. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, soccer star Megan Rapinoe and three-time WNBA champion Sue Bird will preside over the two-hour broadcast airing June 21 on ESPN. All three live in the Seattle area. Rapinoe and Bird are partners who share a household, which conveniently eases some logistics. Wilson’s singer-wife, Ciara, is likely to make an appearance, too. “We liked the idea of having athletes from diverse sports that represent something for every fan,” show producer Jeff Smith said by phone. “We’re ﬁnding ways to make this feel really connected to the audience. They’re so ready to reach out to this community.” It’s quite a departure from the red carpet strutting and 5,000 audience members at the show’s longtime home in Los Angeles. Instead of its usual July date during baseball’s All-Star break, the show has been rescheduled and re-imag- ined as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Smith said there’s been a lot to learn in assembling a pre-produced show with everyone in different locations. “Typically, we are all shoulder to shoulder and looking through cuts and arguing through story ideas,” he said. “We found a different way to connect with each other.” Shortly before the U.S. shut down because of the coronavirus, the show suffered a blow when longtime executive producer Maura Mandt died unexpectedly at age 53 on Feb. 28. “I wish we could have done this show together because she would have a really interesting perspective on how we’re doing this,” said Smith, who worked with Mandt at her production company. “This is the ﬁrst one of its kind. Maura’s signature will always be on this show.” The Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, the Pat Tillman Award for Service and Jimmy V Award for Perseverance are among the honors to be presented. But there won’t be the usual long acceptance speeches read off the teleprompter. The producers hope to show the winners getting a call informing them of the honor at the same time the audience ﬁnds out. That involves collud- ing with family and team members to lure them to a video screen at the appropriate moment. “We really love this sort of pure reaction,” Smith said. “We found ways to really be able to capture it.” The ESPYs are typically deﬁned by viral moments rather than viewers remembering who won what. Without a live show, Smith said he still aims to mine those nuggets. “We’re ﬁnding access to athletes and celebrities that in some way will surprise the audience,” he said. Comedy and music are always part of the show, and Wilson, Rapinoe and Bird will get a chance to show off a sense of humor. However, the host’s usual opening monologue poking fun at athletes and controversy doesn’t quite ﬁt with this year’s theme. In a different time, the Houston Astros cheating scandal would have been ripe for the picking. “On this side of the pandemic, it’s hard to really care about that,” said Rob King, ESPN senior vice president and editor at large. The show is taking a forward-looking approach rather than lament what the world has endured during the COVID-19 crisis. NHL plans move to small-group training as Phase 2 of return TORONTO (AP) — The NHL hopes to have players back in team facilities soon — with plenty of precautions. The league, which paused its season on March 12 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, released a memo Monday saying it is targeting early next month as the start date for Phase 2 of its returnto-play protocol, including the opening of practice rinks and allowing small, voluntary group workouts on and off the ice. “It has not yet been determined when precisely Phase 2 will start or how long it may last,” the said read. “We are continuing to monitor developments in each of the club’s markets, and may adjust the overall timing if appropriate, following discussion with all relevant parties.” The NHL, which has worked closely with the NHL Players’ Association on the phased approach, said that while it views the protocol as “very comprehensive … (it) cannot mitigate all risk.” “A range of clinical scenarios exist, from very mild to fatal outcome,” the 22-page memo continued. “COVID-19 generally affects older age groups and those with previously existing medical conditions, more so than younger, and otherwise healthy, individuals. “We recognize that players and personnel have family and household members who may fall into these vulnerable categories.” If the Phase 2 plan gets the green light, on-ice sessions will be noncontact and involve up to six players, who will be expected to maintain physical distancing at all times. Players will be required to wear masks when entering and exiting facilities, and when not able to physically distance. “Players are not required to wear face coverings when they are exercising or on the ice,” the memo said. Teams are not allowed to require a player to return to a club’s home city to complete any necessary quarantine measures before the workouts begin. Coaches and management will be allowed to watch, but not participate in, the informal skates. The ﬁnal two phases of the return-to-play protocol — training camps followed by a resumption of game action — were not mentioned in the memo. Phase 1, which continues after a number of extensions, saw players advised to self-quarantine after the novel coronavirus paused most of the sports world some 10 weeks ago.

Twitter, which has tried to devise penalties for such situations, has so far done nothing about Trump’s tweets. The husband of a woman who died by accident two decades ago in an ofﬁce of thenGOP Rep. Joe Scarborough is demanding that Twitter remove the president’s tweets suggesting Scarborough, now a ﬁerce Trump critic, killed her. “My request is simple: Please delete these tweets,” Timothy J. Klausutis wrote to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. The body of Lori Kaye Klausutis, 28, was found in Scarborough’s Fort Walton Beach, Florida, congressional ofﬁce on July 20, 2001. Trump has repeatedly tried to implicate Scarborough, a host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show, in the death even though Scarborough was in Memorial Day weekend shootings kill 10 in Chicago Courtesy photos The Southern Marching Band took part in Monday’s ceremony in Racine.

The weekend highlighted that even as the pandemic has many people staying home, homicides in the nation’s three largest cities have been on the rise. CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago saw its deadliest Memorial Day weekend for gun violence since 2015, a jarring reminder that even a coronavirus pandemic and a statewide stay-at-home order cannot halt shootings in the city. Washington, not Florida, at the time. It’s the latest instance in which the president has blown past Twitter’s halfhearted attempts to enforce rules intended to promote civility and “healthy” conversation on its most prominent user. Trump frequently ampliﬁes misinformation, spreads abuse and uses his pulpit to attack private citizens and public ﬁgures alike, but has never faced Twitter sanctions on his account. Klausutis wrote in his letter that he has struggled to move on with his life due to the ongoing “bile and misinformation” spread about his wife on the platform, most recently by Trump. His wife continues to be the subject of conspiracy theories 20 years after her death. Klausutis said in the letter, sent last week, that his wife had an undiagnosed heart condition, fell and hit her head on her desk at work. He called her death “the single most painful thing that I have ever had to deal with” and said he feels a marital obligation to protect her memory amid “a constant barrage of falsehoods, half-truths, innuendo and conspiracy theories since the day she died.” TODAY Daily Sentinel New York 77/64 Washington 80/69 City Albuquerque Anchorage Atlanta Atlantic City Baltimore Billings Boise Boston Charleston, WV Charlotte Cheyenne Chicago Cincinnati Cleveland Columbus Dallas Denver Des Moines Detroit Honolulu Houston Indianapolis Kansas City Las Vegas Little Rock Los Angeles Louisville Miami Minneapolis Nashville New Orleans New York City Oklahoma City Orlando Philadelphia Phoenix Pittsburgh Portland, ME Raleigh Richmond St. Louis Salt Lake City San Francisco Seattle Washington, DC Thu.
