The parents captured their son’s big moment here

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. —
Baylor freshman Zach Loveday — a 2020 graduate of

2021 NCAA Division I national championship game held in

WEST COLUMBIA,
W.Va. — After proposed legislation threatened to shut
its doors, it was announced
this week that Lakin Hospital would remain open.
A brief video appeared

alongside Delegates Jonathan Pinson (R-13th) and
Johnnie Wamsley (R-14th).
Grady said she was speaking on behalf of herself and

ODH reported a total of 2,313 cases of COVID19 (since March 2020) in Gallia County as part of
Tuesday’s update, one new case since Monday.
ODH has reported a total of 44 deaths, 141
hospitalizations (one new), and 2,204 presumed
recovered individuals (two new) as of Tuesday.
Age ranges for the 2,313 total cases reported by
ODH on Tuesday are as follows:
0-19 — 299 cases (1 hospitalization)
20-29 — 379 cases (6 hospitalizations)
30-39 — 308 cases (1 new case, 3 hospitalizations)

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio’s newly
simpliﬁed pandemic
restrictions will continue requirements for
wearing masks and
social distancing in public but will ease rules
for large outdoor gatherings such as graduations and festivals, state
ofﬁcials said Monday.
Though the state will
no longer limit the size
of such events, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine
said participants would
be asked to stay separated in groups of 10
or fewer — rather than
merging into one huge
crowd — to help reduce
possible spread of the
coronavirus.
Asked how that would
be enforced at a typically crowded festival,
DeWine said: “People
just need to use com-

his only minute of action near
the end of regulation.
Loveday — who averaged
2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds
in 13 games this year — is
believed to be the ﬁrst Gallia
County native to be part of a
Division I national championship winning team in men’s
basketball.
Baylor ﬁnished the 2021
campaign with an impressive
28-2 overall mark while claiming the program’s ﬁrst championship in men’s hoops. Zach is
the son of Billy and Sam Loveday of Bidwell, Ohio.

GALLIPOLIS — A local family
is working through their non-proﬁt
foundation to raise awareness for
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
(CDH).
The Eddy family had a child in
2017 who had the condition of CDH,
meaning he had a hole in his diaphragm, which allowed his abdominal organs to move into his chest.
Samual was born in February 2017
to Jennifer and Robert Eddy.
Samual’s CDH was discovered
before birth, Jennifer said, and he
underwent tests before being born.
After birth, he stayed in the hospital
for over two months, going through
a few surgical procedures and treat-

ments, before being able to go home
in April 2017.
Jennifer said Samual did well
through his surgeries and treatment.
However, Jennifer said she noticed
one day Samual had a different cry
and they called an emergency squad
to take him to the hospital. Due
to complications of CDH, Samual
passed away in May 2017 when he
got sick with a rhinovirus, which is
recognized as a common cold.
“To us, he was just a normal sleeping baby,” Jennifer said of when
Samual had the rhinovirus. “We
didn’t have any indication there was
anything wrong.”
Now, the family has created the

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Dr.

state health director whose
entry into the U.S. Senate
race in Ohio had been highly anticipated, said Tuesday
she will not run, after all.

Judge delays law mandating burial of fetal tissue
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — A judge on Monday temporarily blocked
enforcement of an Ohio
law that would require
fetal remains from surgical abortions to be cremated or buried, agreeing
that a lack of rules makes
complying unworkable
for clinics.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Alison
Hatheway’s decision
came a day before the law
was set to take effect in a
case brought by a group
of clinics that argued a
lack of rules, including
whether a death certiﬁcate would be required,
made complying with the
law “impossible.”
In a ruling from the
bench, Hatheway also
went further — barring
the state from enforcing
the law’s new penalties
against abortion providers until 30 days after
rules are set.
“Without the required
rules and forms in place,
the plaintiffs will be
forced to stop providing
procedural abortions
because of a real threat
of sanctions and penalties independent from

criminal prosecution,” the
judge said. “This substantially interferes with, if
not denies, the plaintiffs’
patients’ rights to access
abortion under the Ohio
Constitution.”
The law would
replace an earlier Ohio
law requiring aborted
fetuses to be disposed of
“in a humane manner,”
but without deﬁning
“humane.” Abortion
opponents had argued
that the new language
assures human dignity,
while abortion rights
groups called it another
effort by the state’s
Republican-led Legislature to obstruct a legally
available procedure.
The state argued during Monday’s hearing
that the new law is not a
ban on abortion.
“The only way that it
has the effect of a ban
on April 6 is under the
plaintiffs’ erroneous factual and legal assumption
that they will have to preemptively stop all abortions because of a lack
of afﬁrmative assurances
(against prosecution),”
said attorney Andrew
McCartney, representing

the Ohio Department of
Health.
Hatheway’s temporary block will stand as
arguments proceed in
the the lawsuit, which
names the state Health
Department and others,
over the permanent fate
of the law. Clinics and
lawyers at the ACLU of
Ohio argue the law is an
unconstitutional hurdle
to women’s legal right to
an abortion, as well as
“frivolous and medically
unnecessary.”
Mai Ratakonda, a
lawyer for Planned Parenthood who spoke for
that organization and the
other clinics — PretermCleveland, Women’s Med
Group and Northeast
Ohio Women’s Center —
told the judge Monday
that a public records
request revealed rules
have been in development
for months and the state
appeared ready to release
them on an emergency
basis Tuesday — without
input from clinics and
funeral directors through
a public rule-making process.
The suit noted that it’s
unclear whether elements

of existing regulations
on the disposal of human
bodies might apply under
the new law, for example,
such as whether burial of
fetal remains will require
a death certiﬁcate and
burial permit. A form
required under the new
law has not yet been
released to record that
each woman has been
notiﬁed and whether
she’s chosen burial or cremation.
With the new law
paused, remains from
what are known as surgical, or procedural, abortions fell under existing
rules for handling infectious waste, meaning they
could be disposed of with
material from other medical procedures.
Were it to go into
effect, the suit said the
new law would be “a seachange in how (clinics)
manage tissue.”
Republican Gov. Ohio
Mike DeWine signed the
fetal tissue measure into
law in December with
abortion foes calling it
a “vital piece of pro-life
legislation” that assured
human life was treated
with dignity.

In 1954, President
Dwight D. Eisenhower
held a news conference
in which he spoke of the
importance of containing
the spread of communism
in Indochina, saying, “You
have a row of dominoes
set up, you knock over
the ﬁrst one, and what
will happen to the last
one is the certainty that it
will go over very quickly.”
(This became known
as the “domino theory,”
although Eisenhower did

not use that term.)

In 1994, civil war erupted in Rwanda, a day after
a mysterious plane crash

that followed, hundreds

were slaughtered by Hutu
extremists.
In 2010, North Korea

Ten years ago: A man
shot and killed 12 children at the Tasso da Silveira public school in Rio

himself after being cornered by police. A powerful aftershock struck
Japan near the same area
that had been devastated
by a mighty earthquake
and tsunami nearly a
month earlier; no giant

reported.
Five years ago: Russian President Vladimir
Putin denied any links
to offshore accounts and
described the Panama

the state Supreme Court
blocked the governor’s

in line in Milwaukee
amid fears that the voting would bring a spike
in the state’s coronavirus

way for veteran U.S. Rep.
Tim Ryan in next year’s
Democratic primary. Ryan
has not yet announced,
but has key backing for
his campaign from some
inﬂuential Democrats,
including former Gov.
Ted Strickland and Hillary Clinton, the party’s
2016 presidential nominee.
No Democrat has yet
entered the race, however, even as the Republican
ﬁeld continues to grow.
Bernie Moreno, a
Cleveland businessman
whose family immigrated
to the U.S. from Colombia when he was a child,
entered the race as a
Republican on Tuesday.
His announcement
said he is joining the race
because he wants “to
stop the socialist agenda,
protect the gains made
by President Donald J.
Trump, and protect the
American Dream.”
The political newcomer
made a name for himself
in the Cleveland area as a
luxury car dealer before
turning his focus two
years ago to his interest
in blockchain — a ledger
for recording cybercurrency transactions — and

company.
Moreno, 54, ﬂew to the
U.S. from Bogota with
his mother and siblings
at age 5 when the region
was dominated by the
radical socialist ideals of
Che Guevara and Fidel
Castro, he said in his
announcement, adding
that progressives like Sen.
Bernie Sanders and Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
have assumed those roles
in the U.S.
“If we’re going to protect this country from
the socialist left, and
keep this precious idea
building on the concept
of freedom, then we need
outsiders who back up
their words with action,”
Moreno said.
He is the third Republican to enter the race,
after former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel and
former Ohio Republican
Party Chair Jane Timken.
Cleveland businessman
Mike Gibbons is also
exploring a bid.
Mandel, in particular,
has used divisive language
on his Twitter account as
he attacks Timken, DeWine and Democratic President Joe Biden.

In her statement, Acton
said, “I know many of us
are tired of the vitriol and
hate. We are weary from
the battle.”
Acton’s leadership
working with DeWine in
the state’s virus response
had made her something
of a folk hero and role
model for Ohio girls. She
inspired a fan club, yard
signs and a bobblehead
and, just this month,
topped a Columbus
Dispatch reader poll of
people and things that
got residents through the
pandemic.
But her role in issuing
restrictive health orders
also prompted intense
backlash, including being

called misogynistic and
anti-Semitic names and
facing protesters, some
of them armed, outside
her suburban home, and
resigned in June.
DeWine had declined
to comment on her potential candidacy.
Moreno was not always
an ardent Trump supporter. In separate posts
on Twitter from Dec.
8, 2015, Moreno called
Trump Hillary Clinton’s
“best fundraiser and ally.”
He also wrote: “Listening to realDonaldTrump
is like watching a car accident that makes you sick,
but you can stop looking.”
Campaign manager
Parker Briden said More-

no, like other Republican
candidates in the race,
initially supported other
2016 presidential candidates and gave to Trump’s
campaign.
“He’s been vocal in
defending the president
from his ridiculous attackers and celebrating his
tremendous accomplishments,” Briden said. “Just
like President Donald J.
Trump, Bernie’s a businessman and political
outsider who wants to
stop socialism, pass term
limits and end the cancel
culture.”

Supporting new aviation maintenance program
Delta joins
with Marshall,
Mountwest, RCBI
Staff Report

Delta Air Lines Technical Operations has
announced that it will
designate the new Marshall University/Mountwest Community &amp;
Technical College Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) program
as a partner educational
institution.
The collaboration –
the ﬁrst of its kind in
the region and ﬁrst in
West Virginia – will help
ensure students receive a
quality technical education as they prepare for
the growing number of
aviation industry jobs.
The program will join
a select group of approximately 45 other AMT
schools across the country that have received
the endorsement of Delta

RCBI | Courtesy

William Smith, Delta Air Line’s director of learning and development for Technical Operations,
announces that the air carrier will provide educational support for the Aviation Maintenance
Technology (AMT) program being launched by Marshall University and Mountwest Community &amp;
Technical College with support from the Robert C. Byrd Institute. Smith spoke March 26 during
groundbreaking for the AMT program at Huntington Tri-State Airport.

the nation’s second largest air carrier.
William Smith, Delta’s
director of learning
and development for
Technical Operations,

announced the partnership during the March
26 groundbreaking ceremony at Huntington
Tri-State Airport for the
AMT program, which
will launch in spring
2022 pending FAA

approval.
“On behalf of Delta Air
Lines, I’d like to tell you
how excited and honored
we are to be part of this
partnership,” said Smith,
a native of Rowlesburg
in Preston County. “The

timing for this institution could not be better.
The industry demand is
somewhere between half
a million and a million
people over the next 10
to 20 years.”
Existing AMT schools
only have the capacity to
produce about 65 percent
of the aviation mechanics
and technicians the industry needs, Smith said.
The Marshall/Mountwest program, with support from the Robert C.
Byrd Institute (RCBI),
will offer a dual associate
of applied science degree
from both institutions
and provide students the
opportunity to earn FAA
certiﬁcations as well as
specialized credentials.
“We couldn’t be happier to be partnering
with this school and
I congratulate you on
your current milestone,”
Smith said. “(Delta) will
be here to support you.
We will support you with
parts, we will support
you with industry best
practices, we’ll support

you with tooling, we’ll
support you with expertise, we will grow your
curriculum, we will grow
your students, we will
grow your staff.”
Marshall President
Jerome Gilbert praised
the Delta partnership,
saying the relationship
will help ensure the program meets the dynamic
needs of industry.
“The support from
Delta for our new
program is very much
appreciated,” Gilbert
said. “Industry expertise is essential to the
success of any higher
education endeavor and
we are grateful for their
generous backing. It is
an honor to be partnered
with Delta.”

Eastern, Southern, South Gallia at Rocky Brands INV
The Federal Hocking girls and Nelsonville-York
boys claimed top honors within the small school
divisional meet on Saturday at the Rocky Brands
Invitational held at Nelsonville-York High School
in Athens County.
The Lady Lancers edged out Eastern for the
top overall spot as the Lady Eagles produced 108
points while placing second, which was only one
point back of FHHS (109). Southern (33) ended
up seventh out of 11 scoring teams, while South
Gallia placed 10th with seven points.
EHS produced a dozen top-3 efforts, which
included a quartet of individual event titles. Layna
Catlett won both the shot put (31 feet, 5 inches)
and discus (109-0) events, while Ashton Guthrie
won the 1600m run with a mark of 6:05.82.
The quartet of Sydney Sanders, Brielle Newland, Alisa Ord and Karey Schreckengost won the
4x200m relay with a time of 2:01.31. The same
foursome was also second in the 4x100m relay
with a mark of 56.93 seconds.
Emma Hayes was the runner-up in both the
shot put (31-3) and discus (82-10) events, while
Guthrie also placed second in the 3200m run with
a time of 13:48.01.
Newland was third in both the 200m dash
(29.48) and 400m dash (1:07.06), while Ord was
third in the 100m hurdles (18.40). Schreckengost
was third in the 200m dash (58.64) as well.
Kayla Evans paced the Lady Tornadoes with a
pair of individual titles and a third place effort as
well. Evans won both the high jump (4-10) and

Baylor nearly flawless in title game rout of Gonzaga
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)
— Baylor knew it would
need to play to near-perfection to end Gonzaga’s
ﬂawless season.
The Bears just about
did.
Jared Butler and their
dynamic backcourt hit
their ﬁrst ﬁve 3-pointers and never cooled
off. Undersized big man
Mark Vital delivered
as many headaches as
bruises. Their bench was
superb, their rebounding
exceptional, their game
plan impeccable and the

coaching of Scott Drew
spot-on in the crowning moment of his long
building job in Waco,
Texas.
The result was a stunning 86-70 rout of the
overall No. 1 seed for the
ﬁrst men’s basketball title
in school history.
“I can tell you that our
guys have been motivated
all year. It’s a player-led
team,” Drew said. “We’re
so blessed to have unbelievable upperclassmen
and leadership. But we
play with a culture of joy

and as you saw for yourself they came out and
they fed off of each other.
We got off to a great start
and then defensively
we’re pretty good.”
Butler, the do-everything All-American, led
the way with 22 points,
outdueling Gonzaga
freshman sensation Jalen
Suggs in a matchup of
premier point guards.
Butler hit four 3-pointers, repeatedly broke
down the Bulldogs off
the dribble and, when
they managed to stop

him, piled up seven
assists by ﬁnding someone else wide open.
Often it was his backcourt buddies MaCio
Teague (19 points) and
Davion Mitchell (15
points).
Or it was Vital, the
6-foot-5, 250-pound fullback in basketball shoes.
He had three offensive
rebounds before the
game was 3 minutes old,
ﬁnished with six points
and 11 boards and made
life miserable for Gonzaga star Drew Timme.

Nearly half of new US virus infections are in just 5 states

By Russ Bynum
and Michelle R. Smith

Biden to move vaccine
eligibility date to April 19

Associated Press

Nearly half of new
coronavirus infections
nationwide are in just ﬁve
states — a situation that
is putting pressure on the
federal government to
consider changing how
it distributes vaccines by
sending more doses to
hot spots.
New York, Michigan,
Florida, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey together
reported 44% of the
nation’s new COVID19 infections, or nearly
197,500 new cases, in
the latest available sevenday period, according
to state health agency
data compiled by Johns
Hopkins University. Total
U.S. infections during
the same week numbered
more than 452,000.
Surging vaccines to
places where the number
is going up makes sense,
said Dr. Elvin H. Geng,
a professor in infectious
diseases at Washington
University. But it’s also
complicated.
“You wouldn’t want
to make those folks wait
because they were doing
better,” Geng said. “On
the other hand, it only
makes sense to send vaccines to where the cases
are rising.”
So far, President Joe
Biden’s administration
has shown no signs of
shifting from its policy
of dividing vaccine doses

WASHINGTON
(AP) — President Joe
Biden was announcing Tuesday that he’s
bumping up his deadline for states to make
all adults in the U.S.
eligible for coronavirus
vaccines.
With states gradually
expanding eligibility

groups as older people
and essential, front-line

“This means Mason County jobs and

Biden, who was vice
president under Barack
Obama when the original deal was negotiated,
has said he wants to
bring the U.S. back into
the JCPOA but that Iran
must reverse its violations.
Iran argues that the
U.S. violated the deal
ﬁrst with its withdrawal,
so Washington has to
take the ﬁrst step by lifting sanctions.
