The Media Honor Roll recognizes media representatives statewide for fair and balanced reporting of news about public schools. Media representatives from more than 100 Ohio newspapers and radio and television stations were honored by their local school districts. Criteria for selection by the local school districts include the media representative’s efforts to get to know the superintendent, board president, and district mission and goals; report school news in a fair, accurate and balanced manner; give a high profile to positive news about schools; visit the schools; and maintain a policy of “no surprises” by sharing information with school officials. “OSBA is pleased that so many school districts around the state participated in the 2020 Media Honor Roll program,” said OSBA Chief Executive Officer Rick Lewis. “OSBA joins those districts in congratulating the honorees and thanking them for fairly and accurately reporting on the successes of students, teachers and school boards, as well as conveying the many challenges they face.” OSBA sends personalized certificates to school boards to help them honor reporters, editors and news outlets. OSBA also recognizes the honorees in its Journal magazine and on its website. Founded in 1955, OSBA leads the way to educational excellence by serving Ohio’s public school board members and the diverse districts they represent through superior service, unwavering advocacy and creative solutions “I am humbled and honored to receive this recognition from AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

The virus was first identified in China, and then-President Donald Trump and others have used racially charged terms to describe it. The attacks began when five people were shot at Youngs Asian Massage Parlor near Woodstock, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Atlanta, authorities said. Four of them died. The manager of a boutique next door said her husband watched surveillance video after the shooting and the suspect was sitting in his car for as long as an hour before going inside. They heard screaming and women running from the business, said Rita Barron, manager of Gabby’s Boutique. The same car was then spotted about 30 miles (48 kilometers) away in Atlanta, where a call came in about a robbery at Gold Spa and three women were shot to death. Another woman was fatally shot at the Aromatherapy Spa across the street. Long was arrested hours later by Crisp County deputies and state troopers. He refused to stop on a highway and officers bumped the back of his car, causing him to crash, Sheriff Billy Hancock said. Officers found Long thanks to help from his parents, who recognized him from surveillance footage posted by authorities and gave investigators his cellphone information, which they used to track him, said Reynolds, the Cherokee County sheriff. “They’re very distraught, and they were very helpful in this apprehension,” he said. President Joe Biden said the FBI briefed him and noted that Asian Americans are concerned about a recent rise in violence. He called the attack “very, very troublesome.” “We’re not yet clear about the motive. But I do want to say to our Asian American community that we stand with you and understand how this has frightened and shocked and outraged all people,” said Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman in that position. Over the past year, thousands of incidents of abuse have been reported to an antihate group that tracks incidents against Asian Americans, and hate crimes in general are at the highest level in more than a decade. “While the details of the shootings are still emerging, the broader context cannot be ignored,” Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta said in a statement. “The shootings happened under the trauma of increasing violence against Asian Americans nationwide, fueled by white supremacy and systemic racism.” Nico Straughan met Long when he moved to the area in seventh grade, saying Long brought a Bible to school every day and was “super nice, super Christian, very quiet.” Biden backs changes to filibuster; GOP vows ‘scorched earth’ Experts: Surge in Europe a cautionary tale By Lisa Mascaro Optimism is spreading in the U.S. as COVID19 deaths plummet and states ease restrictions and open vaccinations to younger adults. But across Europe, dread is setting in with another wave of infections that is closing schools and cafes and bringing new lockdowns. The pandemic’s diverging paths on the two continents can be linked in part to the much more successful vaccine rollout in the U.S. and the spread of more contagious variants in Europe. Health experts in the U.S., though, say what’s happening in Europe should serve as a warning against ignoring social distancing or dropping other safeguards too early. “Each of these countries has had nadirs like we are having now, and each took an upward trend after they disregarded known mitigation strategies,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “They simply took their eye off the ball.” The result has been a sharp spike in new infections and hospitalizations in several European countries over the past few weeks.

Italy closed most of its classrooms at the beginning of this week and expanded areas where restaurants and cafes can do only takeout or delivery. The country’s health experts say they’re seeing an increasing number of patients who are middle-aged and younger. In France, officials imposed weekend lockdowns around the French Riviera in the south and the English Channel in the north, and are preparing new restrictions for the Paris region and perhaps beyond to be announced Thursday. COVID-19 patients occupy 100% of standard intensive care hospital beds in the area surrounding the nation’s capital. “If we don’t do anything, we’re heading toward catastrophe,” Remi Salomon, a top official in the Paris public hospital authority, told BFM television. Serbia announced a nationwide lockdown for the rest of the week, closing all nonessential shops and businesses. The country of 7 million people reported more than 5,000 new cases on Tuesday, its highest number in months. The trends are far more encouraging in the U.S., which has recorded about 537,000 deaths overall, more than any other country. Deaths per day in the U.S. have plunged to an average of just under 1,300, down from a high of about 3,400 two months ago. New cases are running at about 55,000 per day on average after peaking at more than a quartermillion per day in early January. An empty hallway and a row of unused face shields inside the closed COVID-19 ICU unit at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, California, tell the story of the improved outlook in the U.S. The wing was teeming with the patients at the beginning of the year. “It gives me goosebumps. It’s really just surreal because, you know, a month and a half ago, our unit was full of super, super sick COVID patients, many of which didn’t survive,” said ICU nurse Christina Anderson. The European Union’s overall vaccination efforts lag far behind those of Britain and the U.S because of shortages and other hurdles. Roughly 1 in every 5 people in the U.S. has received at least one dose, while in most of the European countries, it’s fewer than 1 of every 10. �Sports 4 Thursday, March 18, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Silver Knights charge past Wahama, 64-48 By Alex Hawley WHS was scoreless for the final 1:57 of the opening period, as well as the first 3:15 of the second, as the Silver MASON, W.Va. — They Knights (4-1, 3-1) built a 20-13 came up with one rally, but lead.

Despite the uneven results, the Reds begin 2021 believing all the pieces are in place to contend in a long season. To do so, they’ll need a lot more offensive production from mostly the same lineup. Cincinnati finished with a major-league worst .212 team batting average last year, despite the free-agent signings of second baseman Mike Moustakas and outfielders Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama. After a slow start, Cincinnati went on a tear in September and elbowed its way into the postseason for the first time in seven years. The Reds’ hot finish — they won 11 of their last 14 to finish 31-29 in the pandemic-shortened season — has them feeling good about the future. With a full spring training and a 162-game season, they like their chances in a National League Central that lacks a juggernaut. “We have to remember those feelings that we had, how we came together as a group, how we came together there as a team towards the end,” pitcher Sonny Gray said. “We have to remember that. I do think we have the guys here to be successful, to be a winning team.” Among regulars, Jesse Winker hit a team-best .255 with 12 homers as the designated hitter. He’ll go back to an outfield that includes Castellanos, Nick Senzel and Akiyama, who tweaked a hamstring in spring training and could miss opening day. First baseman Joey Votto hopes to rebound after some down years. He finished strong in 2020 after making some adjustments at the plate but has missed time in spring training due to a positive COVID-19 test. The Reds also expect a power resurgence from third baseman Eugenio Suarez, who hit .271 with 49 homers and 103 RBIs in 2019 but couldn’t get back to that pace. “The way I see it, our team is still in place,” manager David Bell said. “For the most part, it’s the same group. And it’s the same group that through great challenges over the last couple of years, especially last year, really overcame a lot. There were several times last season when things could have gone the other way, and guys stayed with it. It was important to our players and our team to continue building a winning environment.” Life without Bauer Trevor Bauer’s 1.73 ERA last season was good enough for the National League Cy Young Award, and it earned him a huge contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

CHICAGO (AP) — The NCAA Tournament and bars were made for each other, with fans of powerhouse teams like Gonzaga and longshots like Colgate pouring in to cheer their teams. Until last year, that is, when COVID-19 blew up everybody’s brackets. This year, the tournament’s back, and bars and restaurants, some shuttered for months, are open for March Madness, though things may look a little different. Only a limited number of fans will be allowed in the stands to watch the games in Indiana as the tournament starts Thursday. As for those who choose to watch at bars or restaurants, their experiences will vary depending on their location. Some bars are under strict limits on the number of people allowed inside and will require fans to wear masks and keep their distance. Others could be packed to capacity with mask-less fans. So if somebody on the Fighting Illini hits a game winner at the buzzer, back at the Esquire Lounge in Champaign, where the University of Illinois is located, any hugging and high fiving will be limited to people sitting at the same table, which are separated by 6 feet (2 meters) and Plexiglass barriers. “You can hug the people at your table,” said co-owner Paul Higgins. “It’s not quite as fun.” But if a Baylor player hits the same shot, in Texas — where all those rules and much of the Plexiglass disappeared after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott lifted restrictions — the scene will be much different. “We’re gonna be packed,” said Clint Josey, owner of Coach’s Barbecue Smoke House in Waco, near campus. All of this easing and lifting of restrictions has public health experts worried about potential superspreader events at bars around the country. March Madness arrives as vaccinations increase in the U.S. and the death toll from COVID-19 has dropped, but health experts note that many seniors and other at-risk people still haven’t been vaccinated. “This is a major sporting event and all these fans are going to be allowed to be together indoors, (creating) a lot of transmission possibilities,” said Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist and head of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. “When bars are crowded the noise level goes up and then people talk more loudly and talking loudly projects the virus father into the air if you’re infected,” he said. Heading into Lottie’s Pub in Chicago last week, Alex Kedzie said, “People are just happy for some sort of normalcy.” Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE ROUNDUP By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing Cress leads Rio Grande women at Bowen Memorial GLENVILLE, W.Va. — Sierra Cress had a pair of top three finishes, while teammate Kaila Barr had two top five performances to lead the University of Rio Grande women’s track & field team in their outdoor season opener at Glenville (WV) State College’s Brandi Bowen Memorial Invitational.
