The new guidance still calls for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters but will help clear the way for reopening workplaces, schools, and other venues — even removing the need for masks or social distancing for those who are fully vaccinated. “We have all longed for this moment — when we can get back to some sense of normalcy,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the CDC. The CDC will also no longer recommend that fully vaccinated people wear masks outdoors in crowds. The announcement comes as the CDC and the Biden administration have faced pressure to ease Friday, May 14, 2021 s 50¢ Flowers in Middleport Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Flowers were planted on Wednesday morning in the new planters installed in the village of Middleport.

Masks their lowest rate since September, deaths are at their lowest point since last April and the test positivity rate is at the lowest point since the pandemic began. To date about 154 million Americans, more than 46% of the population, have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccines and more than 117 million are fully vaccinated. The rate of new vaccinations has slowed in recent weeks, but with the authorization Wednesday of the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 12 to 15, a new burst of doses is expected in the coming days. Just two weeks ago, the CDC recommended that fully vaccinated people continue to wear masks indoors in all settings and outdoors in large crowds. During a virtual meeting Tuesday on vaccinations with a bipartisan group of governors, Biden appeared to acknowledge that his administration had to do more to model the benefits of vaccination. “I would like to say that we have fully vaccinated people; we should start acting like it,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, a Republican, told Biden. “And that’s a big motivation get the unvaccinated to want to to get vaccinated.” “Good point,” Biden responded. He added, “We’re going to be moving on that in the next little bit.” Walensky said the evidence from the U.S. and Israel shows the vaccines are as strongly protective in real-world use as they were in earlier studies, and that so far they continue to work even though some worrying mutated versions of the virus are spreading. The more people continue to get vaccinated, the faster infections will drop — and the harder it will be for the virus to mutate enough to escape vaccines, she stressed, urging everyone 12 and older who’s not yet vaccinated to sign up. And while some people still get COVID19 despite vaccination, Walensky said that’s rare and cited evidence that those infections tend to be milder, shorter and harder to spread to oth- ers. If someone who’s vaccinated does develop COVID-19 symptoms, they should immediately put their mask back on and get tested, she said. There are some caveats. Walensky encouraged people who have weak immune systems, such as from organ transplants or cancer treatment, to talk with their doctors before shedding their masks. That’s because of continued uncertainty about whether the vaccines can rev up a weakened immune system as well as they do normal, healthy ones. ___ AP Medical Writer Lauran Neergaard contributed to this report.

BASEBALL ROUNDUP The high school postseason is just around the corner, but the roads to the district tournament were paved Sunday afternoon as the 2021 OHSAA Southeast District baseball tournaments were officially released for all four divisions throughout the state. A half-dozen Ohio Valley Publishing schools — Gallia Academy, Meigs, River Valley, Southern, South Gallia and Eastern — now know where their opening games will be and who they will be facing in their respective sectional matchups. Only one of the six area pro- grams need a single win to get out of sectional play, while the other handful need two victories to advance to their respective district rounds. Half of the local programs will compete in the Division IV tournament, where Eastern sits as the lone team facing a win-and-in scenario for the district level. The Eagles earned a seven seed and will host 10th seeded Waterford in a sectional final at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 18. Southern came away with the 12 seed and will host 21st seeded Pike Western in a sectional semifinal at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 15. The winner advances to the sectional final on Tuesday, May 18, and will travel to fifth seeded Huntington Ross for a 5 p.m. start. South Gallia earned the 19 seed and will travel to 14th seeded Peebles for a sectional semifinal at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 15. The winner advances to the sectional final on Tuesday, May 18, and will travel to third seeded Portsmouth Clay for a 5 p.m. start. Division IV district tournament play will start Saturday, May 22. A pair of Division III programs — Meigs and River Valley — will need to win twice to reach the district semifinal See DRAW | 8 SOFTBALL ROUNDUP White Falcons outlast Charleston Catholic, 10-8 From staff reports Finally, some good fortunes … and against the Irish no less. Wahama snapped a 3-game losing skid on Wednesday night with a wire-to-wire 10-8 victory over host Charleston Catholic in a nonconference matchup. The White Falcons (5-7) led 2-0 after an inning of play as an Ethan Gray sacrifice fly and a Trey Ohlinger single resulted in RBIs, then the guests extended their lead out to 4-1 midway through the fifth. The Irish, however, countered with two scores to close the gap back down to a run, but WHS answered by sending 11 hitters to the plate in the top of the sixth — which resulted in six runs on seven hits and a pair of CCHS errors for a 10-3 cushion. The Irish scored a run in the sixth and tacked on four more scores in the home half of the seventh, but ultimately left the bases loaded with nobody out in the frame. Wahama outhit the hosts by a 14-8 overall margin and both teams committed three errors apiece. Bryce Zuspan picked up the win after allowing one run, three hits and a walk over four innings of work. Ethyn Barnitz paced WHS with three hits and three runs scored, while Gray, Ohlinger, Logan Roach, Aaron Henry and Zachary Fields each chipped in two safeties. Gray also led the guests with four RBIs. Armstrong led Charleston Catholic with two hits and Hufford knocked in a team-best two RBIs.

The Meigs baseball team earned at least a share of its 10th Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division championship on Wednesday in Rocksprings, defeating guest Wellston 6-0. Meigs (11-8, 9-1 TVC Ohio) — which claimed a 1-0 victory in its first meeting with WHS on April 19 — went up 4-0 in the second inning on Wednesday, with five hits and a walk in the inning. Ethan Stewart led the next inning off with a home run, and Meigs added another run after a walk and two hits. Wellston (11-13, 4-7) stranded three runners on base in the first six frames, but didn’t reach third until the finale, when WHS stranded See BASEBALL | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, May 14 Baseball River Valley at Meigs, 5 p.m. Athens at Southern, 5 p.m. Teays Valley Christian at Hannan, 5:30 Point Pleasant at Scott, 5 p.m. Wahama at Ravenswood, 6 p.m. Softball (15) Eastern at (10) Zane Trace, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at John Marshall, 5:30 Hannan at Charleston Catholic, 5:30 Track and Field Wahama at Laidley Field, 4 p.m. Saturday, May 15 Baseball (21) Western at (12) Southern, 11 a.m. (19) South Gallia at (14) Peebles, 5 p.m. Meigs at Nelsonville-York, noon Buffalo at Hannan, 1 p.m. Southern at Fisher Catholic (DH), noon Point Pleasant at Chapmanville, 2 p.m. Softball Meigs at Nelsonville-York, noon Hannan at Fair View, noon Track and Field Wahama at Roane County, 10 a.m. Perfect through 10. The Wahama softball team improved to 10-0 with a 7-1 victory over non-conference guest Point Pleasant on Wednesday in Hartford. The Lady Falcons led 1-0 after a Lauren Noble RBI double with two outs in the opening inning. WHS was ahead 7-0 after scoring twice in each of the next three innings, with just three hits in that span. The Lady Knights (8-6) — who left runners two runners in scoring position in the third inning — ended the shut out bid in the top of the seventh, as Kylie Price led off with a solo home run. Price’s home run ended the Lady Falcons string of 28 straight innings without allowing a run. PPHS put another runner in scoring position in the inning, but ultimately left the runner at second and fell 7-1. Mikie Lieving was the winning pitcher in a complete game, striking out eight for WHS. Rylee Cochran took the loss in 3.1 frames for Point Pleasant, striking out one. Madilyn Keefer finished the game for the guests and struck out three. Leading the Lady Falcon offense, Noble was 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and three runs batted in, Lieving went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, while Emma Gibbs singled once, scored once and drove in a run. Cochran, Price, Tayah Fetty, Havin Roush and Kaylee Byus had a hit each for PPHS, with Fetty and Roush both making it an extra base. Athens 11, River Valley 1 The seventh-seeded River Valley softball team — which fell to Athens 5-1 and 8-4 in the regular season — couldn’t make the third time the charm, as the second-seeded Lady Bulldogs won their first sectional title since 2009 with a 11-1 victory on Wednesday in The Plains. AHS (23-5) took a 4-0 lead with back-toback extra base hits with two outs in the opening inning. The Lady Bulldogs added another run on a Kendra Hammonds RBI in the second, but the Lady Raiders (158) got on the board in the top of the third, as Grace Hash singled and later scored on an error. Athens scored three times in the home third, however, and then capped off the 11-1 win with a three-run home run from Hammonds in the sixth. Ashleigh James was the winning pitcher in a complete game, striking out four for Athens. Abbi Hollanbaugh took the pitching loss in three innings for RVHS, striking out two. Hash, Brooklyn Sizemore, Riley Bradley, Sier- ra Somerville and Sophia Gee recorded a hit apiece for the Silver and Black, with Sizemore doubling for the team’s only extrabase hit. Hammonds led the victors, going 3-for-4 with four runs batted in. RBI. Leading Wellston, Sadie Henry was 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two runs batted in, while Alyssa Petersen went 3-for-3 with a double, a run scored and two RBIs. Wellston 13, Meigs 1 The Meigs softball team had a chance to play spoiler on Wednesday on its home field, but couldn’t prevent Wellston from claiming its share of the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division title, falling to the Lady Rockets 13-1. WHS (16-6, 11-1 TVC Ohio) — which shares the league crown with Athens — took a 5-0 lead after six hits in the opening frame. Meigs (9-10, 3-6) got a run back on a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the inning, but didn’t score again. Wellston’s lead was 6-1 after a Maddie Potts RBI single in the third inning, and then plated three runs on three hits and an error in the fourth.
