Post-exposure
quarantine dropped
for vaccinated adults
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Fully vaccinated
Ohioans are no longer required to quarantine
if they’re exposed to someone with COVID-19,
Gov. Mike DeWine announced Tuesday, citing
increased vaccination ﬁgures.
The policy change also means that teens who
are vaccinated will be able to participate in sports
and other activities even after exposure, the governor said. The change applies to all adults except
those in nursing homes, assisted living facilities,
or other group care settings.
“The power of the vaccine allows us to do this,”
DeWine said.
The Health Department says 4.6 million people,
or four of every 10 people in the state, have
received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose.
More than 3.5 million people, or almost one in
three people in Ohio, have ﬁnished the vaccination
process.
The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases
in Ohio did not increase over the past two weeks,
going from 2,065.71 new cases per day on April
11 to 1,556.43 new cases per day on April 25,
according to data collected by the Johns Hopkins
University Center for Systems Science and Engineering.

POMEROY — Honoring remembering the victims of crime, as well as
providing resources for
the community were the
focus of Friday’s resource
fair held as part of

National Crime Victim’s

The resource fair
brought together several agencies in the area
which can assist victims
of crime, as well as other
members of the community.
The event was orga-

nized by the Meigs
County Victim Assistance Program, with

and advocates Katie
Gilkey and Ashley Greenlee. The program is part
of Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley’s
ofﬁce.

Included in the
resource fair was a
moment of silence to
honor homicide victims
in Meigs County, who’s
names and photos were
displayed on a banner

CDC: many can now go outside without mask
NEW YORK (AP) — The
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention eased its guidelines
Tuesday on the wearing of masks
outdoors, saying fully vaccinated
Americans don’t need to cover
their faces anymore unless they
are in a big crowd of strangers.
And those who are unvaccinated can go outside without masks
in some situations, too.
The new guidance represents
another carefully calibrated step
on the road back to normal from
the coronavirus outbreak that has
killed over 570,000 people in U.S.
For most of the past year, the
CDC had been advising Americans to wear masks outdoors
if they are within 6 feet of one
another.
“Today, I hope, is a day when
we can take another step back
to the normalcy of before,” CDC
Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky
said. “Over the past year, we have
spent a lot of time telling Americans what you can’t do. Today, I

am going to tell you some of the
things you can do, if you are fully
vaccinated.”
The change comes as more than
half of U.S. adults have gotten
at least one dose of vaccine, and

more than a third have been fully

Walensky said the decision
was driven by rising vaccination

of more than two
dozen protesters seeks
monetary damages for
injuries sustained in
clashes with police.
The lawsuit describes
peaceful demonstrators
and bystanders being
beaten, ﬁred on with
wooden and rubber
bullets, and unlawfully
arrested during protests in late May and
June.
Yet at times the city’s
response worked, Monday’s report concluded,
with protesters feeling
they could express
their First Amendment rights. Police
also showed “great
restraint” over long
days and as they were
targeted with projectiles like bricks and
bottles and were subject to “vicious insults,”
particularly aimed at
Black ofﬁcers, according to the report.
But “frustration
and pain on all sides”
overshadowed such
moments, the report
concluded.
“Protestors interviewed for this study
felt that police overreacted, used unnecessary force on peaceful
demonstrations, and
treated Black protestors and protests about
racism differently than
other protests,” the
report said. “Many
police interviewed for
this study felt abandoned by the City’s
leaders and let down by
their own leadership.”
Mayor Andrew Ginther said the city was
aware of “clear mistakes and the mishandling of protests early
last summer” and has
since made changes,
including a ban on
chemical agents on nonviolent protestors.
He called the report
another tool to help
the city “make the
change the community
demands.”

relatively little use of
force, few arrests and
where the voice of demonstrators was not in
any way stiﬂed. Still,
we have a long way to
go to restore trust and
conﬁdence in police,”
he said.
The report recommended:
— Healing the rift
between Columbus
police and communities of color in the city,
especially Black people:
“This could include
community conversations about what public
safety should look
like, what police training should entail, and
acceptable practices for
managing mass demonstrations.”
— Addressing rifts
between city leadership
and Columbus police,
and inside the police
department, between
top-ranking ofﬁcers and
rank-and-ﬁle personnel:
“Without a well-functioning team approach
to public safety, the
entire City loses.”
— Studying best
practices for handling
First Amendment protests, creating special
units to make contact
with demonstrators
before, during and after
protests, and clearly
deﬁning when chemical sprays can be used
when responding to
mass demonstrations.
Recent protests over
fatal Columbus police
shootings, including
the deaths of Andre
Hill, Miles Jackson and
Ma’Khia Bryant, have
been largely peaceful.
But some protesters and police clashed
outside the division’s
headquarters April 13
after a few protesters
tried to force their way
inside. One man was
arrested for striking an
ofﬁcer with a wooden
club.
This spring, Republican state lawmakers
are backing four bills
aimed at criminalizing
or increasing penalties
associated with behavior at protests.

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio’s capital
was unprepared for
the size and energy of
protests last year over
racial injustice and
police brutality, according to a report released
Monday that also found
most police ofﬁcers felt
abandoned by city leadership during that time.
Columbus — Ohio’s
largest city — had no
advance plan for handling such protests, and
suffered from a lack of
coordination and even
regular communication among city leaders once the protests
began, the report said.
“In fact, some community members who
participated in this
study reported thinking
that city leaders were
actively at odds over
how to respond to the
protests,” according to
the report.
The $250,000 review
was commissioned by
the Columbus City
Council and conducted
by former U.S. Attorney Carter Stewart and
Ohio State University’s
John Glenn College of
Public Affairs.
At issue was the
city’s response to
protests that began
in late May after the
death of George Floyd
at the hands of Minneapolis police ofﬁcer
Derek Chauvin, who
last week was convicted of second-degree
unintentional murder,
third-degree murder
and second-degree
manslaughter.
Columbus protests
lasted multiple days
downtown, near Ohio
State, and across other
parts of the city. The
ﬁrst night, protesters
smashed windows at
the Ohio Statehouse
and at businesses
throughout downtown.

CDC

US marks slowest population growth since the Depression

From page 1

WASHINGTON (AP) —
U.S. population growth has
slowed to the lowest rate since
the Great Depression, the Census Bureau said, as Americans
continued their march to the
South and West and one-time
engines of growth, New York
and California, lost political
inﬂuence.
Altogether, the U.S. population rose to 331,449,281
last year, the Census Bureau
said Monday, a 7.4% increase
over the previous decade that
was the second slowest ever.
Experts say that paltry pace
reﬂects the combination of
an aging population, slowing
immigration and the scars of
the Great Recession more than
a decade ago, which led many
young adults to delay marriage
and families.
The new allocation of congressional seats comes in the
ﬁrst release of data from last
year’s headcount. The numbers
generally chart familiar American migration patterns: Texas
and Florida, two Republican
Sunbelt giants, added enough
population to gain congressional seats as chillier climes
like New York and Ohio saw
slow growth and lost political
muscle.

numbers; declines in COVID19 cases, hospitalizations
and deaths; and research
showing that less than 10%
of documented instances
of transmission of the virus
happened outdoors.
Dr. Mike Saag, an infectious disease expert at the
University of Alabama at
Birmingham, welcomed the
change in guidance.
“It’s the return of freedom,” Saag said. “It’s the
return of us being able to
do normal activities again.
We’re not there yet, but we’re
on the exit ramp. And that’s
a beautiful thing.”
More people need to be
vaccinated, and concerns
persist about variants and
other possible shifts in the
epidemic. But Saag said the
new guidance is a sensible
reward following the development and distribution of
effective vaccines and about
140 million Americans stepping forward to get their
shots.
The CDC, which has been
cautious in its guidance during the crisis, essentially
endorsed what many Americans have already been doing
over the past several weeks.
The CDC says that fully
vaccinated or not, people do
not have to wear masks outdoors when they walk, bike
or run alone or with members of their household. They
can also go maskless in small
outdoor gatherings with fully
vaccinated people.
But from there, the CDC
has differing guidance for
people who are fully vaccinated and those who are not.
Unvaccinated people —
deﬁned by the CDC as those
who have yet to receive both
doses of the Pﬁzer or Moderna vaccine or the one-shot
Johnson &amp; Johnson formula
— should wear masks at outdoor gatherings that include
other unvaccinated people.
They also should keep using
masks at outdoor restaurants.
Fully vaccinated people do
not need to cover up in those
situations, the CDC says.
However, everyone should
keep wearing masks at
crowded outdoor events
such as concerts or sporting
events, the CDC says.
And the agency continues
to recommend masks at
indoor public places, such
as hair salons, restaurants,
shopping centers, gyms,
museums and movie theaters, saying that is still the
safer course even for vaccinated people.
“Right now it’s very hard
to tease apart who is vaccinated,” Walensky explained.
She said the CDC guidance should be a model for
states in setting their maskwearing requirements.
The advice to the unvaccinated applies to adults and
children alike, according
to the CDC. None of the
COVID-19 vaccines in use
in the U.S. is authorized for
children under 16.
Dr. Babak Javid, a
physician-scientist at the
University of California, San
Francisco, said the new CDC
guidance is sensible.
“In the vast majority of
outdoor scenarios, transmission risk is low,” Javid said.
Javid has favored outdoor
mask-wearing requirements
because he believes they
increase indoor mask-wearing, but he said Americans
can understand the relative
risks and make good decisions.
He added: “I’m looking forward to mask-free existence.”
“The timing is right
because we now have a fair
amount of data about the
scenarios where transmission occurs,” said Mercedes
Carnethon, a professor and
vice chair of preventive
medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg
School of Medicine in Chicago.
What’s more, she said,
“the additional freedoms
may serve as a motivator”
for people to get vaccinated.

The report also conﬁrms one
historic marker: For the ﬁrst
time in 170 years of statehood,
California is losing a congressional seat, a result of slowed
migration to the nation’s most
populous state, which was
once a symbol of the country’s
expansive frontier.
The state population ﬁgures,
known as the apportionment
count, determine distribution
of $1.5 trillion in federal spending each year. They also mark
the ofﬁcial beginning of oncea-decade redistricting battles.
The numbers released Monday,
along with more detailed data
expected later this year, will
be used by state legislatures
or independent commissions
to redraw political maps to
account for shifts in population.
It’s been a bumpy road getting this far. The 2020 census
faced a once-in-a-century
coronavirus pandemic, wildﬁres, hurricanes, allegations of
political interference with the
Trump administration’s failed
effort to add a citizenship question, ﬂuctuating deadlines and
lawsuits.
Texas was the biggest winner — the second-most populous state added two congres-

sional seats, while Florida and
North Carolina each gained
one. Colorado, Montana and
Oregon all added residents
and gained a seat each. States
losing seats included Illinois,
Michigan, Pennsylvania and
West Virginia.
The new numbers contain
some surprises. Though Texas
and Florida grew, the ﬁnal
census count had them each
gaining one fewer seat than
expected. Arizona, another
fast-growing state that demographers considered a sure bet
to pick up a new seat, failed
to get one. All three states
have large Latino populations
that represent about half their
growth, and this could be an
early sign that Hispanics shied
away from the Trump administration’s count.
Still, Thomas Saenz, president of the Mexican American
Legal Defense and Educational
Fund, said he wasn’t ready to
“sound the alarm” over the
underperformance of states
with large Hispanic populations. He noted that he believes
Hispanic growth helped states
like Colorado and Oregon each
gain seats and prevented states
like New York and Illinois from
losing more.

Congressional reapportionment is a zero sum game, with
states divvying up the 435
House seats based on population advantages that can be
strikingly small. If New York
had counted 89 more residents,
the state would have kept its
seat and Minnesota would have
lost one, ofﬁcials said. Minnesota, which had the nation’s
highest self-response rate, also
secured the last House seat in
2010.
The reshufﬂing of the congressional map moved seats
from blue states to red ones,
giving Republicans a clear,
immediate advantage. The
party will have complete control of drawing the congressional maps in Texas, Florida and
North Carolina — states that
are adding four seats.
In contrast, though Democrats control the process in
Oregon, Democratic lawmakers there have agreed to give
Republicans an equal say in
redistricting in exchange for a
commitment to stop blocking
bills. In Democratic Colorado,
a nonpartisan commission will
draw the lines, meaning the
party won’t have total control
in a single expanding state’s
redistricting.

TODAY IN HISTORY
The Associated Press

Today is Wednesday, April
28, the 118th day of 2021.
There are 247 days left in the
year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On April 28, 1967, heavyweight boxing champion
Muhammad Ali was stripped
of his title after he refused to
be inducted into the armed
forces.
On this date
In 1788, Maryland became
the seventh state to ratify the
Constitution of the United
States.
In 1945, Italian dictator
Benito Mussolini and his
mistress, Clara Petacci, were
executed by Italian partisans
as they attempted to ﬂee the
country.
In 1952, war with Japan
ofﬁcially ended as a treaty
signed in San Francisco
the year before took effect.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
resigned as Supreme Allied
commander in Europe; he was
succeeded by Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway.
In 1958, the United States
conducted the ﬁrst of 35
nuclear test explosions in the
Paciﬁc Proving Ground as part
of Operation Hardtack I. Vice
President Richard Nixon and
his wife, Pat, began a goodwill
tour of Latin America that
was marred by hostile mobs
in Lima, Peru, and Caracas,
Venezuela.
In 1980, President Jimmy

Carter accepted the resignation
of Secretary of State Cyrus R.
Vance, who had opposed the
failed rescue mission aimed at
freeing American hostages in
Iran. (Vance was succeeded by
Edmund Muskie.)
In 1986, the Soviet Union
informed the world of the
nuclear disaster at Chernobyl.
In 1988, a ﬂight attendant
was killed and more than 60
persons injured when part of
the roof of an Aloha Airlines
Boeing 737 tore off during a
ﬂight from Hilo to Honolulu.
In 1994, former CIA ofﬁcial
Aldrich Ames, who had passed
U.S. secrets to the Soviet
Union and then Russia, pleaded guilty to espionage and tax
evasion, and was sentenced to
life in prison without parole.
In 2001, a Russian rocket
lifted off from Central Asia
bearing the ﬁrst space tourist,
California businessman Dennis Tito, and two cosmonauts
on a journey to the international space station.
In 2010, Coast Guard Rear
Adm. Mary Landry said a
massive oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico was worse than ofﬁcials had believed, and that the
federal government was offering to help industry giant BP
contain the slick threatening
the U.S. shoreline.
In 2015, urging Americans
to “do some soul-searching,”
President Barack Obama
expressed deep frustration
over recurring black deaths
at the hands of police, rioters
who responded with senseless
violence and a society that

would only “feign concern”
without addressing the root
causes.
In 2019, former Republican
Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana,
a leading voice on foreign
policy during his 36 years in
the Senate, died at a hospital
in Virginia at the age of 87.
“Avengers: Endgame” shattered the record for biggest
opening weekend with an estimated $350 million in ticket
sales domestically and $1.2
billion globally.
Ten years ago: President
Barack Obama reshufﬂed his
national security team, with
CIA Director Leon Panetta
succeeding Defense Secretary
Robert Gates and Gen. David
Petraeus replacing Panetta
at the CIA. Convicted sex
offender Phillip Garrido and
his wife, Nancy, pleaded guilty
to kidnapping and raping a
California girl, Jaycee Dugard,
who was abducted in 1991 at
the age of 11 and rescued 18
years later. (Phillip Garrido
was sentenced to 431 years to
life in prison; Nancy Garrido
was sentenced to 36 years
to life in prison.) Canada’s
Patrick Chan won the world
ﬁgure skating championships
in Moscow.
Five years ago: Vice President Joe Biden pressed Iraq
during an unannounced visit
not to let its crippling political crisis upend hard-fought
gains against the Islamic State
group.
One year ago: President
Donald Trump signed an executive order under the Defense

Production Act to keep meat
packing plants open; it classiﬁed meat processing as critical
infrastructure. The Navy said
the number of sailors aboard
the USS Kidd who had tested
positive for the coronavirus
had risen to 64, or about oneﬁfth of the destroyer’s crew.
Joe Biden won Ohio’s presidential primary, the ﬁrst major
test of statewide elections via
mail amid the virus outbreak.
Hillary Clinton became the
latest Democrat to endorse
Biden as the party continued
its uniﬁcation efforts. Democrat Kweisi Mfume easily won
a special election to complete
the term of the late Maryland
Rep. Elijah Cummings.
Today’s Birthdays: Former

Staff Report

Joel Beattie struck out
seven, allowed two hits
and issued one walk over
4.2 scoreless innings of
relief, allowing Point
Pleasant to stop the
bleeding before reeling
off six unanswered runs
on Monday night during
a 6-3 victory over visiting
Wahama in a non-conference matchup of Mason
County teams. The host
Big Blacks (5-2) trailed
3-0 midway through the
third, but managed to
knot things up at 3-all
by the end of the fourth
frame. Wyatt Wilson provided a 1-out double and
later scored the go-ahead
run on a Luke Pinkerton
single, then Beattie was
issued a 2-out walk. Tanner Mitchell doubled in
both Pinkerton and Evan
Roach — a courtesy runner for Beattie — to double the lead out to 6-3.

Tanner McCune singled
home Will Ginder. Niese
struck out seven batters

bearded wild turkeys,
but hunters may harvest
only one bearded turkey
per day. A second permit
may be purchased at
any time throughout the
spring season. A turkey is
required to be checked no
later than 11:30 p.m. the
day of harvest using the
new HuntFish OH mobile
app, the automated gamecheck system, by phone
at 877-TAG-IT-OH (877824-4864), or at a participating license agent.
The free HuntFish OH
mobile app provides convenient resources while
out in the ﬁeld. HuntFish OH is available for
Android and iOS users
through the app store.
Wild turkey hunters can
use the app to check a
harvest, even without a
connection. When a hunter checks game without a
clear signal, information
is recorded and stored
until the hunter moves
to a location with better
reception. Users can also
purchase licenses and
permits and view wildlife
area maps through the
app.
Anyone interested
in learning to hunt or
becoming a mentor to
a new hunter can visit
the Wild Ohio Harvest
Community page for
information on how to get
started, hunting-related
workshops, as well as special hunting opportunities for mentors and new
hunters.
