According to Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood, a pursuit began in Racine on Wednesday evening by Racine Marshal Michael Hupp. The pursuit traveled through Syracuse toward Pomeroy with speeds over 100 MPH, said Wood. The sheriff’s office deployed spike strips on State Route 124 near Minersville Hill Road. The driver of the suspect vehicle allegedly attempted to miss the spike strip and struck the sheriff’s office vehicle which was stationary in the opposite lane of travel. The deputy sustained minor injuries, with the passenger in the suspect vehicle also having been injured and transported by Meigs County EMS for treatment. The driver of the vehicle was taken into custody. Names of those involved have not been released by the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. It is unknown at this time what charges may be filed in the case. The Daily Sentinel will provided additional information as it is made available. Agencies on the scene included the Racine Police Department, Syracuse Police Department, Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Meigs County EMS and Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department.

For the week ending May 23, about 42,000 people ﬁled jobless claims despite the gradual reopening of the state’s economy since mid-May, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. That’s down from about 46,000 claims ﬁled the previous week. The numbers announced Thursday pushed total unemployment claims during the coronavirus pandemic to 1.25 million, above the total number of claims over the past three years. The state says it has now distributed more than $3.1 billion to more than 644,000 unemployment claimants. Nationally, an estimated 2.1 million Americans applied for unemployment beneﬁts last week, bringing the running total since the coronavirus shutdowns took hold in mid-March to about 41 million, the government said Thursday. Nursing homes Outdoor visits will be allowed at assisted living facilities as well as facilities for people with developmental disabilities, beginning June 8. Social distancing and other safety restrictions will apply. Gov. Mike DeWine said the limited visitation will be watched closely as his administration considers when to reopen nursing homes to visitors. He said ofﬁcials are balancing safety against damage done by prolonged periods without seeing family. The latest data showed outbreaks in nursing homes are continuing to pop up in some counties while the deaths have leveled off in others. Ottawa County reported a week ago just one death since the pandemic began and this week added nine more. Monroe County also had a recent rise in deaths, bringing its total to 12.

Prisons Ohio has spent about $500,000 on overnight hotel stays for prison employees and National Guard members who work in facilities with high numbers of infections, records show. The individuals were given the option of staying in a hotel rather than going home, under a Department of Rehabilitation and Correction initiative begun last month. The prisons agency spent $183,321 on overnight stays for prison employees and $317,338 for National Guard members, according to data obtained by The Associated Press through an aspire to imitate. Jesus, we might note, also prayed early in the morning (cf. Mark 1:35). Starting the day off with prayer is a good exercise because it is a reminder that our life begins and ends with God. It is emblematic of a mind-set which puts God ﬁrst in everything. It is symptomatic of a life centered on God and thus one more likely to be pleasing to God. It is possible to come to God late. Jesus tells a parable of workers in the vineyard who all received the same wage, regardless of the time of day when they started, and in that parable, the day can be interpreted as the span of a man’s life (cf. Matthew 20:1-16). God’s grace is sufﬁcient, if we repent and turn to Him, to forgive even a mostly wasted life. But how much better to avoid the wasted years and the lost time; not to mention the ever-present danger of running out of time before we make the decision to start doing right. How much better to, “remember your Creator in the days of your youth,” making God your foundation and purpose from the very beginning. How do you begin your day? Do you start off focused on God, or is He an afterthought? How are you spending your life? Are you serving God now, or are you waiting for a more opportune time that may never come.

In Ecclesiastes, we read the sage advice, “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth (Ecclesiastes 12:1a).” Being religious and devout in our duties to God is not something to put off until we are old and have nothing better to do; rather it is an activity best sought after from a very young age. The writer in Ecclesiastes goes on to talk about growing old, and the failings of the body, and the lack of energy, and the fact that, should we live long enough, we are all going to die and return to the dust (cf. Ecclesiastes 12:1-7).

Here is the healing we need even as we stand for justice. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends…. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a, 13 ESV). As a Christian, it is not an option to love even those different from me. It is who I am. If you are a Christian, then it is not an option for you either. It is the outﬂow of the presence of the Savior you say you follow. Tend well your heart, your attitude, your words and deeds. Let them ﬂow from a heart ﬁlled with the love of God.

Jesus had promised His Disciples that He would send someone to help them after He was gone. The Bible tells us in Acts, Chapter 2 that after Jesus died and went to be in heaven, His followers were all gathered together in one place. All of a sudden, God sent the Holy Spirit to live inside them and give them the power to teach others about Jesus. Ann You may not understand much Moody about the Holy Spirit, but see if Contributing you can think of it in these ways to columnist help. 1. Water can be in three different forms: water-liquid, ice-solid, and gas-water vapor, but it’s all still water. 2. We can ﬁx eggs to eat in lots of ways: fried, boiled, scrambled, or poached, but it’s still an egg. God is similar in that He can also be in three forms: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit - but all still God. You can’t see the Holy Spirit, but it’s there inside all of us to help us live good and holy lives. Anyway, as the believers were praying on that day, God sent the Holy Spirit down upon each of them. So how did they know it was there? The Bible says the people heard it; it sounded like a mighty rushing wind coming down from heaven, and suddenly, they saw what seemed to be ﬂaming tongues of ﬁre that came and rested on each of their heads. It sounds very strange, I know, but that’s how God showed them what was happening. The people also could tell that something special was happening because of the way they felt; they could feel God’s power as they each were ﬁlled with the Holy Spirit. With this came the ability to speak in languages that they didn’t know, so they could tell everyone about Jesus. The Holy Spirit is still with us today even though we don’t hear is as the wind or see it as ﬂaming tongues, but it is inside each of us as believers in Christ. The Holy Spirit enables us to hear Jesus as He speaks to our hearts, helping us to know what we should do. We can feel the power of His presence as He guides us through each day if we let Him. Think about this. God loved us so much that He sent a part of himself to be with us all the time, so we would never be without His presence in our lives. Amazing that He cares that much about you and me! Let’s say a prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for the day of Pentecost when You sent Your spirit to be inside our hearts forever. Help us to listen and obey as You teach us through the Holy Spirit and to know we will never be alone again.

He’s also worked on his golf game. “I’ve always been a high-effort guy,” he said. “I am swinging hard still, but it is still not going straight.” Neither is his NFL career, and Mayﬁeld’s spent the past two months trying to get it back on the proverbial fairway. After an electrify- ing rookie season, he regressed signiﬁcantly with Cleveland. On Wednesday, Mayﬁeld, who will be playing for his fourth coach in three years in 2020, spoke to reporters for the ﬁrst time since January, when the Browns’ 6-10 letdown was followed by yet another coaching change, front-ofﬁce purge and renewed questions about whether he’s a franchise QB. Mayﬁeld knows the upcoming season is vital. “There’s no doubt Year 3 is always a big year in these contracts and timing-wise, everybody knows that,” Mayﬁeld said on a Zoom call from his home in Texas, where he’s been holed up during the COVID-19 pandemic. ”I’m not going to put any added pressure on myself. There’s no need for that. Because if I win, good things will happen. That’s the most important part. “If I play better, that’s why quarterback is one of those positions that’s the hardest in sports. If I play better, our team’s going to do better. So I put that pressure on myself. So it doesn’t matter what year it is, I have to be way better each year.” Mayﬁeld was way worse in 2019 than 2018. He followed a recordsetting rookie season by throwing 21 intercep- tions, completing just 59.4 percent of his passes, with a paltry 78.8 passer rating. He lacked conﬁdence in the pocket, never got on the same page with star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and had a handful of minor media meltdowns. Nothing went as planned for him or the Browns, who fell ﬂat on their collective face masks. Mayﬁeld is determined to learn from those mistakes. And, as he’s done throughout his football life, prove people wrong. To start, he’s been noticeably low key. For him, that’s a major change. “I have a different approach this year,” he said. “Everybody who has been interviewed on our team has hit the nail on the head over and over about this is time to work. It is time to do our thing, instead of talking about it. This is the ﬁrst media thing I have done, just because there is no need to be talking about it. It is just time to go do it and right now. “It is moving in silence, which is ﬁne with me. That is how I used to do it before getting on a bigger stage, so I am happy to get back to those roots, get back to the fundamentals to where I can accomplish the goals when the season comes around.” Never one to mince words — on or off the ﬁeld, — Mayﬁeld feels time at home has given him perspective and a greater appreciation of his profession. Circumstances have changed and so has he. “You only get so many opportunities in this game that I have been blessed to play,” he said. “It does not last forever. To be able to take advantage of that and enjoy the moments, I think it is going to be good for me, getting back to that and having fun and enjoying the process of how to get to winning, because that is the most enjoyable thing looking back on it.” OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Rio hosting Jim Marshall Memorial golf outing JACKSON, Ohio — The Veterans Association at the University of Rio Grande will host their 3rd annual Jim Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 13, at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County.

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports A view of the outfield at Great American Ball Park before the start of baseball game between the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds on April 6, 2013, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Players want more games, no more salary cuts NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball players appeared likely to propose more regular-season games this year while holding to their demand for full prorated salaries, people familiar with their deliberations told The Associated Press. Washington pitcher Max Scherzer, among eight players on the union’s executive subcommittee, issued a statement late Wednesday night calling management’s proposal for more salary cuts a non-starter. A day after Major League Baseball proposed a sliding scale of salary slashing for a pandemic-delayed season with an 82-game schedule in ballparks without fans, the union held a conference call Wednesday that included its executive board, player representatives and alternate player representatives, the people said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because no details were announced. Scherzer, among the sport’s highest-paid players, conﬁrmed the call without divulging who was on it. “After discussing the latest developments with the rest of the players there’s no need to engage with MLB in any further compensation reductions,” he said in a statement posted to Twitter. “We have previously negotiated a pay cut in the version of prorated salaries, and there’s no justiﬁcation to accept a 2nd pay cut based upon the current information the union has received.” “I’m glad to hear other players voicing the same viewpoint,” he added, “and believe MLB’s economic strategy would completely change if all documentation were to become public information.” It was unclear when the union will respond to MLB’s plan, the people said. Stars Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole would lose the most under MLB’s plan, about 77% of the $36 million each they were set to be paid this season. In all, there are 133 players whose contracts call for salaries of $10 million or more, not including shares of signing bonuses. A big leaguer earning $1 million or less would keep at least 43% of his salary under the six-tier scale. That includes a share of $200 million earmarked for players that is contingent on the postseason being completed. About 460 of approximately 900 players on rosters and injured lists when spring training was stopped in mid-March due to the new coronavirus make $1 million or less. Trout and Cole would be cut to about $8 million each. Colorado’s Nolan Arenado would drop from $35 million to $7.84 million. “Interesting strategy of making the best most marketable players potentially look like the bad guys,” Milwaukee pitcher Brett Anderson tweeted. The players’ association called the proposal “extremely disappointing.” The union has argued players already accepted a cut to prorated shares of their salaries in a March 26 agreement and should not have to bargain again. MLB would like to start the season around the Fourth of July in empty ballparks and proposed an 82-game regular season. It claims teams would lose billions of dollars by playing with no ticket money and gate-related revenue. “This season is not looking promising,” New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman tweeted. “Keeping the mind and body ready regardless.” Union head Tony Clark has not commented publicly on MLB’s proposal and has said very little publicly since late March. Agent Scott Boras has repeatedly criticized MLB for proposing more salary reductions and has questioned the accuracy of management’s ﬁnancial claims. “Hearing a LOT of rumors about a certain player agent meddling in MLBPA affairs,” Cincinnati pitcher Trevor Bauer tweeted Wednesday. “If true — and at this point, these are only rumors — I have one thing to say… Scott Boras, rep your clients however you want to, but keep your damn personal agenda out of union business.” Boras declined to comment on Bauer’s remarks. “Working together to manage the public health issue has brought great solidarity among the players,” Boras said earlier in the day. “They are a strong united front and resolute in their support of the MLBPA.” A season with more than 82 games would lead to players earning a higher percentage of their original salaries. MLB says that without fans each additional game would result in a $640,000 loss. Brewers chairman Mark Attanasio told the Greater Milwaukee Committee on Tuesday “the be-careful-what-youwish-for part is hours every day.” “It’s got to come together very quickly or we won’t be able to, we will just run out of time,” he said. “To pay players at a full contract rate, pretty much 90% of that would go to pay them and wouldn’t cover any other costs.” �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Friday, May 29, 2020 9 By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ � RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane �� OH-70187341 D R WARRANTY TH Promo Number: 285 10 � � � � � � � � � LIFETIME YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE* � � � � � � � � � 1 ER GUA 15 OFF AND! % OFF SENIOR & MILITARY DISCOUNTS � � � � � � � � � TT NATIO ’S E N Le GUARANTEED!
