WASHINGTON (AP)
— President Joe Biden
declared that “America is
rising anew” as he called
for an expansion of federal programs to drive the
economy past the coronavirus pandemic and
broadly extend the social
safety net on a scale not
seen in decades.
Biden’s nationally
televised address to Congress, his ﬁrst, raised the
stakes for his ability to
sell his plans to voters
of both parties, even if
Republican lawmakers
prove resistant. The
Democratic president
is following Wednesday
night’s speech by pushing his plans in person,
beginning in Georgia on
Thursday and then on to
Pennsylvania and Virginia
in the days ahead.
In the address, Biden
pointed optimistically to
the nation’s emergence
from the coronavirus
scourge as a moment for
America to prove that its
democracy can still work
and maintain primacy in
the world.
Speaking in highly
personal terms while
demanding massive
structural changes, the
president marked his

DEMMIE L. HANNA

CORENA L. BARNITZ
MASON,
W.Va. — Corena
L. Barnitz, 79,
Mason, W.Va.,
went home to be
with the Lord on
Wednesday, April
28, 2021 from her
home surrounded by her
loving family. Corena was
born February 5, 1942 in
Boomer, W.Va., daughter
of the late Marmie and
Treasie McMillion.
She was a graduate of
Wahama High School,
Mason, Class of 1959.
While at Wahama,
Corena was a varsity
cheerleader and involved
in home economics.
After graduating high
school, she married the
love of her life, Robert
W. Barnitz, on December
12, 1959 and together
they enjoyed 61 years
of marriage. They were
blessed with ﬁve sons.
Despite already having 4 sons, she, along
with her husband, Bob,
co-founded Bob’s Market
and Greenhouses on
July 1, 1970. In the early
years, Corena was a vital
part in the success of the
business. She perfected
the recipe for the Apple
butter still being sold at
Bob’s Market today.
When not helping with
the business, Corena was
very involved with her
sons’ school activities
and community events.
Corena was a devoted
wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother,
and homemaker. She
enjoyed cooking, sewing,
and spending time with
her family immensely.
She was a most excellent cook, and her large
platters of cookies were
a Christmas favorite. In
her later years, she spent
many hours sharing her
homemade baby blankets
with her grandchildren,
great-grandchildren,
friends and loved ones.
She also enjoyed annual
vacations with her family.
In addition to her parents, Corena was preceded in death by a brother,
James Hughes, an infant
sister, Linda Lou McMillion, sister-in-law Edie
McMillion and several
special aunts.
She is survived by
her husband Bob, sons:

Scott (Anna) Barnitz,
Jeff (Corinna) Barnitz,
and John (Leah) Barnitz
all of Letart, W.Va., and

Hartford, W.Va., Tony
(Jodi) Barnitz of Reading, Mass., Alan (Beth)

Ohio, Teran (Elizabeth) Barnitz of Tupelo,
Miss., Madison (Isaac)
Lee of Mason, A’leisia
Barnitz of Letart, Reece
and Kamryn Barnitz
of Proctorville, Ohio,
Mason and Blake Barnitz of Letart, and 19
great-grandchildren:
Ethyn Barnitz, Ashton
Barnitz, Eli Rickard,
Jayla Simpkins, Payton
Barnitz, Allena Barnitz,

Simpkins, Aly Barnitz,
Eliza Simpkins, Judah
Rickard, Ryan Barnitz,
River Simpkins, Amos
Rickard, Jordan Barnitz,
Elias Lee, Myles Lee,
Amelia Barnitz, Aaron
Barnitz and two more on
the way. Corena is also
survived by brothers:
Marshall (Vera) McMillion of Middleport, Ohio,
and Howard McMillion
of Mt. Nebo, W.Va., a sister-in-law Opal Hughes of
Mason, and many special
nieces, nephews, and
cousins.
During her later years,
Corena had the privilege
of being cared for by
her special friend, Carrie Kennedy. Carrie was
dedicated and sacriﬁced
much of her time to
ensure Corena’s wellbeing. Corena loved Carrie like a daughter.
The family would also
like to thank her other
caregivers of the past
year including Barbara
Zuspan, JoAnn Taylor,
Brooke Adkins, Brittany Gilmore, Sherry
Newman, Resa Hooks,
Lori Neutzling, Betty Jo
Wamsley, Ricky and Hannah Kearns, and many
others.
In lieu of ﬂowers, donations can be made to St.
Jude Children’s Research
Hospital, 501 St. Jude
Place, Memphis, TN

Corena was very proud
of her large family. She
was loved and will be
greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Blue Angels rally
past Rock Hill,
19-11 in OVC
From Staff Reports

The Blue Angels deﬁnitely saved their best
for last. Down 11-8 headed into the top of the
seventh, Gallia Academy rallied for 11 consecutive runs and eventually rolled to 19-11 victory
over host Rock Hill on Wednesday in an Ohio
Valley Conference contest. The Blue Angels (1011, 6-4 OVC) held leads of 2-1 after inning and
6-3 midway through the ﬁfth, but the Redwomen
countered with ﬁve runs in the ﬁfth for an 8-6
edge. GAHS rallied to knot things up at eight in
the sixth, but the hosts answered with three more
scores and secured an 11-8 edge headed into the
ﬁnale. The Blue Angels sent 15 batters to the plate
in their ﬁnal plate appearance, which resulted in
11 runs on nine hits, two walks and a hit batter.
Rock Hill went down in order in their half of the
seventh to complete the 8-run outcome. GAHS
outhit the Redwomen by a sizable 24-10 overall
margin, but also committed ﬁve of the six errors
in the game. Taylor Mathie picked up the win after
allowing four runs, four hits and a walk while fanning two over three innings of relief work. Preslee
Reed led GAHS with ﬁve hits, while Mathie added
four hits, four RBIs and scored three times. Addy
Burke and Bailie Young added three hits apiece as
well for the Blue Angels. Aleigha Matney paced
RHHS with three hits.
Eastern 16, Southern 0
The Eastern softball team — which won 19-3
at Southern on April 12 — defeated the Lady
Tornadoes by 16 again in Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division action on Wednesday in Tuppers
Plains. Eastern (10-5, 8-2 TVC Hocking) tallied
six runs in the opening inning, capped off with
a three-run home run from Kelsey Roberts. EHS
added three runs on four hits in the second inning,
and then scored seven runs on six hits in the third.
Southern (6-12, 2-6) made it as far as third base in
the ﬁrst and fourth innings. Tessa Rockhold was
the winning pitcher of record in a complete game,

Networks realize draft drama
without frills sometimes best
By Joe Reedy
Associated Press

Producer Charlie Yook and NFL
Network didn’t have their own draft
broadcast last year, but he was able
to glean a couple of things from last
year’s joint effort with ESPN.
The biggest is when it comes to
the draft, sometimes simple works
best and that it is OK to combine
resources.
“I think we learned that there’s no
point in having three cameras in one
kid’s house. It’s also OK to be a little
more casual for lack of a better word,”
he said. “Shots don’t have to be with
all these jillion dollar cameras. It can
be done with iPhones. And I think it’s
the last year taught if anything, it’s
more important to be seen and heard
with family than anything else.”
While 12 prospects will be in Cleveland waiting to be selected and pose
with commissioner Roger Goodell,
the NFL has sent 45 camera kits to
prospects homes with iPhones, lighting, a backdrop and the hats of each
team.
NFL Network and ESPN will also
have access to all 32 team war room
cams after years of competing to see
which teams they could get exclusive
access.
Not having prospects on site will
present their own challenges, especially if the ﬁrst round goes as quick
as last year. There were a couple of
points last year where three selections
had already been made before they
were announced because players were
still being interviewed.
Trevor Lawrence will not be in
Cleveland, and may not be interviewed immediately after the Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to make
him the top pick because the New
York Jets are up next.
“It is hard to interview someone
who just got selected if they’re not
there because this thing continues
to move and the narrative shifts. If
they’re not readily available to go, you
probably won’t see a lot of those interviews,” Yook said.
“But that’s the body of this event. It
just keeps going forward.”

NFL Network, ESPN and ABC will
air coverage all three days. ABC will
have its own unique broadcast the
ﬁrst two days before having the ESPN
simulcast on Saturday.
Different, yet the same
NFL Network will have reporters
at 11 team complexes, but ESPN will
continue to have its reporters operate
remotely.
Seth Markman, ESPN’s VP of Production, said the decision was mainly
for health and safety concerns.
“I think we could have done that,
but it’s something that we just looked
at that wasn’t a must do for this year,”
he said.
“We feel like our reporters are good
enough at this point to be able to
report on multiple teams from home.
I know people like to be face to face,
but that’s not really going to happen these days. So I think sending a
reporter to a team facility would be
more about style over substance anyway.”
Yook said it was important for NFL
Network to have reporters there while
observing all health and safety protocols.
NFL Network will debut new graphics along with having a higher level of
highlighting players along with oneon-one matchups.
Spotlight on Cleveland
The night of the ﬁrst round for
many years was a rare chance Browns
fans got to be in the spotlight, but
after an 11-5 season and a playoff win
for the ﬁrst time since 1994, NFL
Network host Rich Eisen is eager to
see how Cleveland will respond to this
year’s festivities.
“I don’t recall ever being to an NFL
draft where the Browns being put on
the clock was met with anything but
sarcastic derision by anyone in the
stands,” he said. “I expect there to be
a huge moment when they’re on the
clock and when the Steelers, Ravens
and Bengals are on the clock.
“When we go to cities for the draft,
it is different vibes because they have
different regional interests. I love it. I
absolutely love it.”

It is not my imagination you are if you have
received his salvation and are doing his will ,you
are his mother his sister and his brother and all of
us that do his will are the children of God.
Jesus said himself when he was on the Earth and
they came and told him his mother was at the door and
wanted to see him and it seemed they were mimicking him a
little obedient child just running to do what his mother said
and he turned around and said who is my mother my sister
and my brother, he that doeth the will of God is my father
is the same as my mother my sister and my brother. If we're
doing the will of God we should pray one for the other because
we are the children of God and we represent his mother his
sister and his brother because Joseph 'sperm and Mary's egg
did not create Jesus they were chosen to be his earthly parents
the world has the DNA of Jesus. He placed himself in the
mother Mary because that was part of his plan to put on the
flesh and give us a second chance to eternal life, that is why
we have to do good to all men that is (hey Google what's the

RACINE — With the
awarding of the 2021
Cruisin’ Saturday Night
Car Show Scholarships,
the annual event will
have awarded more than
$65,000 in scholarships
since it began 17 years
ago.
Seventeen years ago
Hill’s Classic Cars was
approached by the local
post master about having a car show to help
unveil a new stamp
featuring the ‘55 tbird.
While the car show it
self sounded like a fun
idea to organizers, they
wanted it to be for a

scholarship committee

of their decision on the
essay portion of the
application.
The Class of 2021
scholarship recipients
are Ryan Laudermilt,
Ethan Mullen, Natalie Harrison, Kristin

and Nathan Pooler. Each
will receive $1,000.
Laudermilt, from
Southern, plans to

way to give back to the
community.
From the ﬁrst show,
$400 in scholarships
were awarded.
As of June 2021,
the car show will have
raised and awarded over
$65,000 in scholarships
to Meigs County students.
The recipient for this
scholarship must be
a Meigs County student graduating from
Eastern, Southern, or
Meigs with a minimum
