Rio Grande to resume in-person classes Staff Report RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande / Rio Grande Community College will welcome students back to the classrooms this summer as the institution plans for a return to face-to-face instruction for the second summer Session beginning July 6. According to a press release from Rio, the decision to return to faceto-face classes came after several meetings of the COVID task force. “It is important that we recognize the dialogue is still constantly changing. Rio will continue to make decisions based on the recommendations of local, state and federal health care officials.” said Rebecca Long, chief operating officer and vice president of Student Affairs. Long added that Rio is working closely with local health department to develop guidelines and protocols moving forward. Though the state has begun opening up, Rio plans to be conservative in how we return to faceto-face operations, the released stated. Class sizes will be limited, with lectures divided or moved to larger spaces allowing for safe social distancing. Rio will also offer additional general education courses for students not ready to head to the larger populated areas. “We are taking several precautions and have put in additional measures to assure the safety of our students, staff, and community,” Long said. “Things are still changing rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are planning for any scenario.” Rio closed campus and moved to an alternative learning model on March 16. Staff continued to work remotely during the pandemic. In July, Rio plans to reopen all offices face-to-face, with staff moving to staggered workweeks in preparation for the summer session and fall campus learning. “We are very fortunate to be in a rural area of the state,” President Ryan Smith said. “We have had very few reported cases in our county and surrounding areas. Precautions must still be made for the safety and peace of mind for the Rio family and our community. Recognizing that students from all over the state, will join us for our small class sizes and personal attention, their health and safety remains the utmost importance.” For more information on Rio visit rio.edu and COVID-19 changes at rio. edu/coronavirus Information for this article provided by the University of Rio Grande / Rio Grande Community College.

Supreme Court delays prison inmates’ release By Dan Sewell Associated Press CINCINNATI — The U.S. Supreme Court has granted the federal government’s request to delay the release of medically vulnerable inmates at a federal prison in eastern Ohio where hundreds have tested positive for the coronavirus. Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued the brief order Thursday evening — staying an order from a lower court to speed up the inmates’ release — until the Cincinnatibased 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules in the matter. The Supreme Court last month denied the government’s request, mainly on procedural grounds. The government appealed again. Sotomayor handles emergency appeals from BEAVER, Pa. — Carol (Price) Hanson, age 66, of Beaver, Pa., and formerly of Point Pleasant, W.Va. died Wednesday night, June 3, 2020.

IN BRIEF US will allow limited flights by Chinese airlines, not a ban The Trump administration said Friday it will let Chinese airlines operate a limited number of flights to the U.S., backing down from a threat to ban the flights. The decision came one day after China appeared to open the door to U.S. carriers United Airlines and Delta Air Lines resuming one flight per week each into the country. The Transportation Department said it will let Chinese passenger airlines fly a combined total of two round-trip flights per week between the U.S. and China, which it said would equal the number of flights that China’s aviation authority will allow for U.S. carriers. Delta praised the U.S. government for trying to “ensure fairness and access to China.” United said it was reviewing the matter. Neither said whether the latest development in the dispute between the two countries would affect their plans. Both had hoped to offer more flights. The Transportation Department said it might further ease restrictions if China does the same.

WASHINGTON — U.S. unemployment dropped unexpectedly in May to 13.3% as reopened businesses began recalling millions of workers faster than economists had predicted, triggering a big rally Friday on Wall Street and giving President Donald Trump something to boast about in his reelection bid. The jobless rate is still on par with what the nation witnessed during the Great Depression.

Either I hear it from our readers, my colleagues (who ever strive to make our team as best it can be), my better half (my fiancee) or unemployed during the coronavirus outbreak, saying the real figure is worse than the numbers indicate. Still, after weeks of dire predictions by economists that unemployment in May could hit 20% or more, the news that the economy added a surprising 2.5 million jobs last month is evidence that the employment collapse most likely bottomed out in April, when the rate reached 14.7%. Most economists had expected rehiring to kick in this summer as lockdowns were increasingly lifted and people gradually resumed shopping and eating out. “The surprising thing here abilities to begin to allow outdoor visitation on June 8.

At the same time, economists warn that after an initial burst of hiring as businesses reopen, the recovery could slow in the fall or early next year unless most Americans are confident they can shop, travel, eat out and fully return to their other spending habits without fear of contracting the virus. “We are witnessing the easiest phase of growth as people come off temporary layoffs and come back to their employers,” said Jason Fur- was removed from a mission in Washington, D.C., after the FBI uncovered information that the individual expressed white supremacist ideology on the internet prior to the assignment. “While I fully support everyone’s right to free speech, the men and women of our National Guard are sworn to protect all of us, regardless of race, ethnic background, or religion,” said Governor DeWine. “Our Ohio National Guard members are in a position of trust and authority during times of crisis, and anyone who displays malice toward specific in service to the public in hopes of making it a better place by my best efforts to uncover truth.

To my colleagues, thank you for your guidance, your dedication and humor for blazing a trail in rural journalism in a time when things continue to get more challenging for the industry as a whole.

It’s going to be hard leaving a place I very much consider home. I’ve been told it’s hard to integrate into this community as someone who hasn’t grown up in it. A lot of people have said I did a good job of becoming an honorary “local.” Maybe that’s true? I don’t know. I could easily name a dozen or more individuals who welcomed me with open arms, who made that possible and a great experience. And to you I say thank you. Thank you for being a friend, even if I couldn’t say it professionally. You were the only reason I was able to understand this area, if I was ever a “local.” The area has its problems. Those who live here already know them and I don’t need to remind people of them here in this word space. I’ve done it enough on the front page.

I’ve often said being a journalist in this county is like being in a marriage. You walk with it through the “good and the bad.” You might grumble about it but it never fails to surprise you. You come to love the little joys about it and hope to see it reach its potential. There are times you accept it for its flaws while trying to make it better and support it. We can make jokes about it, but if you’re not from here or understand what’s going on, be prepared to catch some heat. If anything, I feel this area values genuine people and I’ve learned a lot from them. Appalachians, in general, don’t mince words. If they think you’re full of it, they’ll tell you that, regardless of your station in life. (I have personally experienced this many times). The vast majority of them appreciate politeness and etiquette but they aren’t afraid of a fight or roughing it. And I mean that in more ways than one. Appalachians, and I particularly reference Gallians, are a tough lot who have survived the worst drug epidemic of the era, continue to strive toward better education and make the best of limited resources in an area historically challenged by a lack of jobs and income. If the public doesn’t find help, they find a way to make solutions. It’s a “take the bull by the horns” mentality shared among Appalachians. They take care of their own but they expect others to contribute in helping others in kind or you’re on your own. That said, there is also a tremendous amount of sympathy here for folks in hard situations, those who can’t give back. And they are Gallia and Appalachia’s helpers. I’ve written many stories about them, and if you don’t know who they are at this point, I’d urge you to look back.

These are the folks who feed and serve the many with just a small amount of “fish and bread” as the pastors might say. They walk where others won’t. For an area as we’ve said that’s among the most economically challenged in the country, these folks are heroes and never fail to amaze me. That goes for your churches, your schools, your civic organizations, and yes, even your small town governments (yeah, they make plenty of mistakes, but sometimes you’d be surprised the good things they pull off, if you take the time to understand the circumstances they face). Your veterans are among some of the most dedicated individuals I’ve ever had the honor of meeting. Having faced death abroad, many continue to serve their country at home in small town Ohio and well into their senior years. This includes Gallia’s first responders. Yes, they walk a tight rope. They need held to a high standard. Criticize them appropriately when they falter but remember and thank them when they come running to danger when many would run away. The arts programs here are also wonderful. Truly this area is gifted in those who seek to express and share music, paintings, photography, music and more. Appalachia has a culture surrounding it you’ll find nowhere else and Gallia very much has its own flavor of art inside that. There’s no place quite like you, Gallia County. If there is anything I can leave you with, I ask that you keep an open mind to tackle projects, concerns, methods and solutions with the same passion you have for home, family, God and country. Combine the new with the old and you will, I think, surprise and inspire yourselves for the better. You have me. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for being home.

In lengthy White House remarks amid sweeping social unrest, a still-rising virus death toll and Depressionlevel unemployment, the Republican president focused on what he said was improvement in all areas. He was quick to seize the positive jobs report at a time when his political standing is at one of the weakest points of his presidency less than five months before the general election. Just 2 in 10 voters believe the country is headed in the right direction, a Monmouth University poll found earlier in the week. The president also addressed the protests, which have calmed in Home of the Car Fairy OH-70004516 experts, the president has aggressively encouraged states to re-open and has assailed state leaders by name who resist. At the same time, he’s taken an uneven approach to explosive racial tensions in the wake of Floyd’s death. As he has in recent days, Trump on Friday offered a sympathetic message to Floyd in one breath and lashed out at protests in his name the next. Local governments “have to dominate the streets,” Trump said. “You can’t let what’s happening happen.” The president spoke in the Rose Garden after the Labor Department said that U.S. employers added 2.5 million workers to their payrolls last month. Economists had been expecting them instead to slash 8 million jobs in continuing fallout from the pandemic. The jobless rate, at 13.3%, is still on par with what the nation witnessed during the Great Depression.

Still, after weeks of dire predictions by economists that unemployment in May could hit 20% or more, the news was seen as evidence that the collapse may have bottomed out in April. Friday’s report made for some tricky reaction gymnastics for Trump’s Democratic election opponent, Biden, who sought to contrast the improving figures with the fact that millions of Americans are still out of work. The high jobless rate, he said, is due to the Trump administration mishandling the response to the pandemic. “Let’s be clear about something: The depth of this jobs crisis is not attributable to an act of God but to a failure of a president,” Biden declared in a Delaware speech shortly after Trump spoke. The presumptive Democratic nominee said Trump was patting himself on the back as America faces some of its sternest challenges ever. “It’s time for him to step out of his own bunker, take a look around at the consequences,” Biden said. �Sports 8 Saturday, June 6, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Harrison signs with Marshall track Riverside Seniors begin 2020 season Staff Report Courtesy photo South Gallia senior Olivia Harrison, seated center, will be continuing her track and field career after signing an Institutional Letter of Agreement with Marshall University on May 20.

MASON, W.Va. — The 2020 Riverside Senior men’s golf league officially started the summer chase on Tuesday following the opening round of play at Riverside Golf Club in Mason County. The foursome of Bill Yoho, Mike Fetty, Kenny Pridemore and Bob Humphreys came away with the opening day victory after collectively posting a 15-under par round of 55, which yielded each player 14 points apiece in the seasonal standings. The quartet of Carl Stone, Jim Collins, Jeff Circle and Bill Greenleaf ended up second overall for 13 seasonal points each, while eight players ended up with 10.5 points each after a tie for third place in the daily round. The closest to the pin winners were Bill Yoho on the ninth hole, as well as Bob Humphreys on No. 14. The top-10 standings from the first half of the 2019 Riverside Senior men’s golf league are as follows: Bill Yoho, Mike Fetty, Kenny Pridemore and Bob Humphreys (14.0), Carl Stone, Jim Collins, Jeff Circle and Bill Greenleaf (13.0), and Dewey Smith, Buford Brown, John Bumgarner, Chuck Stanley Sr., Bobby Walker, Dan Tillis, Bill Carney and John Williams (10.5).

Associated Press Bryan Walters | OVP Sports for a 114-game regular season with no pay cuts beyond the prorated salaries they agreed to on March 26. That would leave each player with about 70% of his original pay. MLB rejected that Wednesday, when Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem wrote in a letter to union chief negotiator Bruce Meyer informing him “we do not have any reason to believe that a negotiated solution for an 82-game season is possible.” “Nonetheless, the commissioner is committed to playing baseball in 2020,” Halem said in the letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press. “He has started discussions with ownership about staging a shorter season without fans.” Management officials have said they are considering a slate of perhaps 50 games or fewer. There has not been a schedule The NBA took a major step toward getting back on the court Thursday, with the league’s Board of Governors approving a 22-team format for restarting the league season next month at the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida. The vote was 29-1, with Portland casting the dissenting vote, said a person with knowledge of the situation. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the league did not publicly release voting details. The National Basketball Players Association has scheduled a meeting for Friday to vote on the plan. Teams would arrive at Disney around July 7 and play an eight-game slate of games starting July 31 at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex. All teams will stay, practice and play at Disney and the NBA Finals — which would have started Thursday if not for the coronavirus pandemic that caused the NBA to suspend its season on March 11 — will likely stretch into October. “The Board’s approval of the restart format is a necessary step toward See MLB | 9 See NBA | 9 Gallia Academy’s Andrew Toler slides safely into second base during the fifth inning of an April 30, 2019, OVC baseball contest against Coal Grove in Centenary, Ohio.

MLB players reaffirm pay stance, no deal with teams in sight NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball players reaffirmed their stance for full prorated pay, leaving a huge gap with teams that could scuttle plans to start the coronavirus-delayed season around the Fourth of July and may leave owners focusing on a schedule as short as 50 games. More than 100 players, including the union’s executive board, held a two-hour digital meeting with officials of the Major League Baseball Players Association on Thursday, a day after the union’s offer was rejected by Major League Baseball. “Earlier this week, Major League Baseball communicated its intention to schedule a dramatically shortened 2020 season unless players negotiate salary concessions,” union head Tony Clark said in a statement. “The concessions being sought are in addition to billions in player salary reductions that have already been agreed upon. This threat came in response to an association proposal aimed at charting a path forward.” “Rather than engage, the league replied it will shorten the season unless players agree to further salary reductions,” Clark added. Players originally were set to earn about $4 billion in 2020 salaries, exclusive of guaranteed money such as signing bonuses, termination pay and option buyouts. The union’s plan would cut that to around $2.8 billion and management to approximately $1.2 billion plus a $200 million bonus pool if the postseason is completed. MLB last week proposed an 82-game season with an additional sliding scale of pay cuts that would leave a player at the $563,500 minimum with 47% of his original salary and top stars Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole at less than 22% of the $36 million they had been set to earn. Players countered Sunday with a plan �SPORTS/WEATHER Ohio Valley Publishing NBA ramifications of playing fewer games. Another person, also speaking to AP on condition of anonymity because the details of the ongoing talks have not been publicly released, said the NBPA and the NBA are working on “lengthy” medical protocols. The details will be shared with teams once those discussions are completed, which will be long before they arrive at Disney, the person said. “The NBA is taking all the appropriate measures, and working tirelessly to provide a safe environment for our team and staff,” the Dallas Mavericks said in statement. While working to finish this season, the league also has made decisions Conference and Western Conference postseason fields. “While there is still From page 8 work to be done, we applaud all the effort and resuming the NBA season,” NBA Commissioner collaboration that has Adam Silver said. “While gone into finding a safe, the COVID-19 pandemic competitive format,” presents formidable chal- Orlando Magic CEO Alex Martins said. “It lenges, we are hopeful has always been our feelof finishing the season ing that sports have the in a safe and responsible ability to bring people manner based on strict protocols now being final- together and we look forward to restarting the ized with public health NBA season while using officials and medical that platform to drive experts.” meaningful social impact The eight-game slate — it’s unclear if they will at this period of time.” There are numerous be classified as regular other details to continue season games — will working through, includhelp determine playoff ing finalizing specifics seeding.

Saturday, June 6, 2020 9 on next season — with the draft lottery rescheduled for Aug. 25, the draft on Oct. 15 and opening night for the 2020-21 campaign is tentatively set for Dec. 1. The G League also announced Thursday that it canceled the remainder of this season. The 22 Disney-bound clubs would play somewhere between 71 and 75 games before the playoffs begin, down from the customary 82-game slate. The teams who didn’t qualify for the restart will see their seasons end after having played somewhere between 64 and 67 games. Roughly 15% of what would have been the full NBA regular season won’t be played, which means players stand to lose around $600 million in salary. How that process will work is among the issues that the league and union are still working to solve. But one of the biggest hurdles is now cleared, in an NBA season like none other. The league is planning for the same playoff rules as usual, that being every round utilizing a best-of-seven format. The 22-team plan includes all teams that were holding playoff spots when the season was stopped, plus all other clubs within six games of a berth. Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston and reigning NBA champion Toronto had already clinched playoff berths. Now with only eight games remaining for each team, it means that eight other clubs — Miami, Indiana, Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Clippers, Denver, Utah, Oklahoma City and Houston — have postseason spots secured, and Dallas virtually has one as well. That leaves nine teams vying for three remaining playoff berths. In the East, Brooklyn, Orlando and Washington are in the race for two spots. In the West, Memphis, Portland, New Orleans, Sacramento, San Antonio and Phoenix will jostle for one spot. If the gap between eighth place and ninth place in either conference is four games or less when the eight-game slate ends, those teams will play off for the No. 8 seed. The team in ninth place would have to go 2-0 in a two-game series to advance. “There is still much work to be done, but we are excited to be able to return to the court,” Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard said. For Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, Golden State, Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago and Charlotte, the season is over. The Knicks will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, the third-longest current drought in the league behind Sacramento and Phoenix — who still have chances of getting into the playoffs this season. MLB tions on playing in front of fans and no relevant travel limitations. The sides agreed to “discuss in good faith” the economic feasibility of playing in empty ballparks, which appears to be the likely option. MLB says that without fans it would average a loss of $640,000 for each additional game played. The union disputes the teams’ financial figures. Teams also worry about a second wave of the new coronavirus this fall and don’t want to play past October, fearing $787 million in broadcast revenue for the postseason could be lost. MLB proposed expanding the playoffs from 10 teams to 14, which would generate additional broadcast rights to sell, and players have offered to guarantee the larger playoffs for both 2020 and 2021. While baseball has reverted to the economic bickering that led to eight work stoppages from 1972-95, the NBA announced plans Thursday to resume its regular season with 22 teams on July 31, the NHL is moving ahead with plans for an expanded Stanley Cup playoffs this summer and MLS is planning to have teams return with a tournament in July. “In this time of unprecedented suffering at home and abroad, players want nothing more than to get back to work,” Clark said. “But we cannot do this alone.” Program Goals: 7��+ /"�0"�2+!"/01�+!&+$��+!��4�/"+"00�,#� ,**2+&16�1/�+0-,/1�1&,+�+""!0 7��+ /"�0"��4�/"+"00�,#� 2//"+1� ,**2+&16�1/�+0-,/1�1&,+�,-1&,+0��+!�-/,$/�*0 7��+02/"�1%�1�1/�+0-,/1�1&,+� ,+0&!"/�1&,+0��/"�&+ )2!"!�&+�), �)��+!�/"$&,+�)� planning activities 7��+ /"�0"�), �)� �-� &16�#,/�1/�+0-,/1�1&,+�0"/3& "0 7��00&01�&+!&3&!2�)0�4&1%�� "00&+$��))� ,**2+&16�1/�+0-,/1�1&,+�,-1&,+0 From page 8 averaging fewer than 82 games per team since 1879. “The overwhelming consensus of the board is that players are ready to report, ready to get back on the field, and they are willing to do so under unprecedented conditions that could affect the health and safety of not just themselves, but their families as well,” Clark said in a statement. “The league’s demand for additional concessions was resoundingly rejected.” Baseball’s March 26 deal allows games if there are no government restric- For more information, please visit: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/Divisions/Planning/Transit/Pages/Coordination.aspx QUALIFICATIONS: Bachelor’s degree in transportation, social services, business or /")�1"!�;")!��-/"#"//"!���21�+,1�/".2&/"!���� ,*�&+�1&,+�,#�"!2 �1&,+��1/�&+&+$��+!� experience that results in demonstrated competency to perform the work may be 02�01&121"!���5 "))"+1�3"/��)��+!�4/&11"+� ,**2+& �1&,+�0(&))0����&)&16�1,� ,,/!&+�1"� multiple projects simultaneously.
