A customer at the electric car charging station in front of the Gallipolis Municipal Building on Third Avenue. Electric car charging stations in Gallipolis Mason Co. reports first COVID-19 death By Sharla Moody Special to OVP GALLIPOLIS — The City of Gallipolis has installed two new electric car charging stations, with the hopes that they bring new business to the neighborhood. “We’re pretty excited about it,” City Manager Ted Lozier said. “We realize right now there’s probably not a lot of demand, but we also realize that electric vehicles are becoming more and more common.” According to Lozier, the stations were made possible through American Electric Power (AEP), which has been expanding electric charging stations. The City of Gallipolis applied to and received an award to install the stations. Because of this award and AEP’s support, the stations present only minimal costs to the city. Lozier hopes that the stations allow more people to pass through Gallipolis. “Hopefully it’ll provide yet another service to people coming to Gallipolis, whether just driving through seeing a place they can charge, or in the Gallia, Meigs alert levels increased By Beth Sergent and Kayla Hawthorne bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com khawthorne@aimmediamidwest. com Athens County, originally on the state’s watchlist, was moved down and Allen County took its place. DeWine says the latter has seen 23% of the county’s total number of cases just in the past two weeks. The governor continued to reiterate that new cases are being traced back to community spreading and not congregate settings like churches. Even with that, DeWine said ofﬁcials have reported outbreaks in bars across the OHIO VALLEY — A grim milestone was reached on Thursday when Mason County suffered its ﬁrst COVID-19 related death. According to the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), the woman was 55 years old. “Deepest sympathies are extended to the family for their loss,” said Bill J. Crouch, cabinet secretary of DHHR, in a statement. Gallia County reported one COVID-19 related death in March. Meigs has had no reported deaths from the virus, to date. Also on Thursday, the state of Ohio’s Public Health Advisory System, moved both Meigs and Gallia counties from a Level 1/Yellow classiﬁcation (which is deﬁned as active exposure and spread of COVID-19), to Level 2/Orange (which is deﬁned as increased exposure and spread, exercise high degree of caution).

A car can be fully charged at a station in an hour, but Lozier expects that most people will use the station for 20 minutes to an hour at a time. Drivers can use an app through ChargePoint, a company that owns electric charging stations, to see where a station might be and what attractions might be around it. The charging stations in Gallipolis are located downtown in front of the Gallipolis Municipal Building, which is near the Gallipolis City Park, AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Drivers can also use the app to pay for gas and check on the status of their vehicle’s charge. “Currently we have the price set similarly to what you would see in this region,” Lozier said. “I know that the closest charges right now to the ones here in Gallipolis are Athens, Huntington, I believe Chillicothe, and then Charleston. But we are charging…15 cents per minute or $2.25 per ﬁfteen minutes charge…So essentially it’s $9 an hour to get a full charge.” The charging stations were installed by local contractors and AEP. “We knew that initially it would be a slow start, but that’s okay because we got the incentive from AEP,” Lozier added. The stations are speciﬁcally located on 333 Third Avenue. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Sharla Moody is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing from Gallipolis, Ohio.

Statewide mask mandate to take effect as virus cases hit 80K COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Hours before a statewide mask mandate was to go into effect Thursday, the Ohio Department of Health reported 1,444 reported daily cases — a number higher than the state’s 21-day average. Gov. Mike DeWine designated 23 counties in Ohio as red on the state’s color-coded alert system Thursday. Those counties continue to show high positivity rates and had an increase in the number of residents seeking treatment for virus-related symptoms, DeWine said. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Friday, July 24, 2020 OBITUARIES TODAY IN HISTORY DOROTHY MAE NICHOLSON MIDDLEPORT — Dorothy Mae Nicholson, 96, of Middleport, passed away peacefully at home on July 22, 2020.

Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast. By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants. (Psalm 119:89-91; ESV)” One of the wonderful things about the Word of God is its unchanging nature. Even as God Jonathan Himself is unchanging (cf. Psalm McAnulty 102:27), so the word of God is Contributing eternal. We read elsewhere, “All Columnist ﬂesh is like grass and all its glory like the ﬂower of grass. The grass withers, and the ﬂower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever. (1 Peter 1:24-25; ESV)” The laws of men, when based on the wisdom of men, and the changing whims of the times, are rather subject to alteration, mistakes and missteps. Take for instance the current situation with masks. There is a great deal of confusion on the part of many concerning whether they should wear a mask or not and a great deal of the confusion stems from the fact that messaging and rules concerning the utility and necessity of mask wearing has been somewhat all over the board. Entities which now tell us they are good things once said they were not necessary. Ofﬁcials who mocked others for wearing masks now claim that their own wearing of a mask is an act of patriotism. At one point wearing a mask was a voluntary sort of decision, now it is being mandated in multiple locales. This is not to in any way disparage those who might have been mistaken or changed their minds on the subject, rather it is merely to point out that human rules can change and what might have been compliance at one point becomes noncompliance else when. Multiple examples could be gathered to prove this point. Experts struggle mightily to keep up with current tax law. Speed limits periodically change according to the whims of those in charge. Various things that might once have been criminal become legal and those things that once were legal become illegal. Thankfully, God’s Word is never like that. God knew His own will from before the foundation of the world and, as the Psalmist declares, God’s word is ﬁrmly ﬁxed in the heavens. This truth is of great encouragement to God’s people, who can trust that if they obey God’s word, God is not going to capriciously change the rules further down the road. If we do what God says today, God’s expectations tomorrow will remain the same. It is this conﬁdence which allows the Psalmist to declare, “If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my afﬂiction. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life. (Psalm 119:92-93; ESV).” When we trust God’s Word, we will be well rewarded, gaining life and salvation. The truth of God’s unchanging Word is likewise something of a warning to those who might seek to change it. Even as the laws of men are malleable and subject to change, so too the religions of men. We can have some certainty that if a religion’s doctrines change from year to year, or are subject to a popular vote so as to better reﬂect the mood of the times, such a religion is not truly from God, for God’s Word does not change. Such a religion is the creation of men, no matter how much lip service those within that religion give to God’s authority. Jesus condemned the religious leaders of His day for their failure to be pleasing to God because they were doing this very thing: making up their own rules for religious conduct. He said, quoting Isaiah, “This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men (Matthew 15:8-9; ESV).” Returning to the Psalms, we read, “I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. (Psalm 119:102-104; ESV)” If we truly believe that God’s Word is unchanging, even as God is unchanging, we will never be satisﬁed with anything but what God Himself has actually said. We will understand that only in God’s Word will we be able to have conﬁdence eternal, and we will likewise know, that to change God’s Word, to make alterations to His precepts according to our own desires, is to make our religion hollow and vain. We will also know, that when we ﬁnd a difference between what any given man is teaching, and what God has taught, we always go with what God says.

Ohio Valley Publishing CROSS WORDS Knowing God as Father I’m getting married in less than ﬁve months, and as a young man, I’ve felt the pressure to become independent faster than I had originally planned. Each day reminds me of how dependent I have always been on my dad. As a child, I never worried about going hungry. I never worried about losing my home. I never experienced the electricity or water being shut off. But now that I’m paying most of my own bills and looking for a home of my own, the idea of dependency comes to mind. This season is teaching me to appreciate my earthly father’s provision. But it’s also teaching me to trust my heavenly Father’s provision. It has proved to be a difﬁcult journey, but as I was studying this past week, I was struck by the reality of God being my Father. Jesus says, “‘If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to as His son. And it your children, how amazes me to conmuch more will sider the beauty of your Father who is this truth. There in heaven give good is nothing about things to those who me that should ask him!’” (Matt. attract Him.

He will columnist can know Him as provide all I need to Father. And if He is live the life He has my Father, I can trust Him called me to live. And it gives me peace. After all, to provide. I can trust Him to love me, care for He has adopted me into me, and never leave my His family. side. “Blessed be the God I love what Jesus says, and Father of our Lord “‘But if God so clothes the Jesus Christ, who has grass of the ﬁeld, which blessed us in Christ with today is alive and tomorevery spiritual blessing row is thrown into the in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of before the foundation of the world, that we should little faith?

God has adopted me But seek ﬁrst the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you’” (Matt. 6:30-33 ESV). I just ﬁnd myself grateful for a Father who loves me enough to adopt me as His own and provide all I need to serve Him faithfully. Do you know God as your Father? Or, when you think of God, do you think of someone who is unconcerned with the daily affairs of your life? If you don’t know God as Father, there is hope. You can know Him that way. But only through Christ. “In him [Christ] we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the ﬁrst to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. See GOD | 11 A HUNGER FOR MORE The treasure of sharing In the midst of great divides, the treasure of sharing a special connection with others is increasingly precious. It cannot be overstated that much of the suffering people face today is in the feeling of being cut off from others. In many ways, we were already sliding down that slope. In pre-pandemic months and years, isolation fostered by mere illusions of connection offered us by technology were already gripping with an icy hold the hearts of people, freezing their sense of hope and true connection with others. How is this possible when the means to connect with others has only become increasingly easy? Because with that ease has come the ease of pretending to be something one is not. What we see in our shallow connections with others over social media and video technology are carefully packaged presentations of people who put on display either a semblance of perfection to show how “together” one is or the outlandish deviations people can concoct as they attempt to draw attention to themselves and feel special and unique. What we are not getting are authentic connections. experience in the We are not getting world outside of real love and accepthis special bond tance, but likes and pales in comparishares that grant us son. “There is one illusions of love and body and one Spirit uniqueness.

Will I always agree with everything another Christian says or does? No. Will other Christians always “feel” close to me and I to them? Again, no.

This truth is a special truth that Christians must especially hold dear and demonstrate for the world around us now. As people feel increasingly “cut off”, the authentic connection that only Jesus can bring to His people is a life-saving promise those around us need to see, hear, and experience. So let us cherish it, commit to experience it more and more, and let us share it. The time to do so is now.

Its next ofﬁcial meeting is scheduled for Aug. 4 and Friday’s session is ad hoc. The board has the power to call off NCAA championship events in fall sports such as soccer, women’s volleyball and lower-division football, including the second tier of Division I known as the Championship Subdivision. Five FCS conferences have already postponed their football seasons, though among them the Ivy League, Southwestern Athletic Conference and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference do not participate in the playoffs. The NCAA has no authority to postpone or cancel speciﬁc seasons, a decision that would be up to individual schools or their conferences. But canceling or postponing NCAA championships could increase pressure for conferences to call off sports — including at the top-tier of college football, where Bowl Subdivision conferences are weighing options. “While experience has shown that the impact of the virus can shift dramatically from week to week, the committee strongly believes that a patient approach to evaluating the possibility of conducting 2020 fall championships will provide the remaining conferences and schools the best opportunity to make deliberate decisions about conducting practices and competition this fall,” the oversight committee wrote. The FBS conferences control major college football’s postseason, with dozens of bowl games and the four-team College Football Playoff to determine a champion. The NCAA has no role. The FBS season is scheduled to start around the Labor Day weekend. The prospects of that seem to be dimming after COVID-19 cases surged over the last three weeks in many states. At the hearing, Emmert also said he is “categorically opposed” to liability waivers some schools have had athletes sign as the return to campus to prepare for their sports seasons. “It is an inappropriate thing for schools to be doing,” he said. Fox taking fans to the ballgame with a virtual crowd LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fox will be taking viewers out to the ballgame by adding a virtual crowd in parks during its baseball telecasts this season. The network revealed on Thursday that it will include computer-generated fans in the stands beginning with their three games on Saturday. Fox begins its coverage with Milwaukee at the Chicago Cubs, followed by San Francisco at Los Angeles Dodgers, and concluding with the New York Yankees at Washington. Judging how fan opinions about crowd noise being added to baseball games have been mixed, Fox may draw some jeers for adding fans to empty ballparks. But Fox Sports vice president Brad Zager, who oversees live event productions and operations, is hoping that people give it a chance before making a deﬁnitive opinion. “We believe that what we’re doing is creating a natural viewing experience,” Zager said. “Sports is supposed to be an escape and when people have that escape we want it to feel as normal as possible when there’s very little normalcy, like a crowd at a baseball game on a Saturday. “We’re not looking to fool everyone. We know it is a virtual crowd. But we also know how jarring watching a game in an empty stadium is on TV.” Fox has been working on a solution to no crowds since late March, when most realized crowds were not going to be allowed to return to stadiums and arenas because of the coronavirus pandemic. Fox Sports president Eric Shanks said the early versions looked rudimentary and resembled “a better version of Donkey Kong” but has improved exponentially since then. “We knew quickly that we were going to have to look at crowd and audio in a different way. The only thing we didn’t know was the date when we were going to have to be ready to go,” Zager said. It is deﬁnitely an improvement over the virtual crowds that Spain’s top soccer league used. The fans on those broadcasts appeared as if they were imposed on a blank background. The Fox version features fans who appear lifelike and three-dimensional. Fox worked on the project with Silver Spoon, a real-time animation and virtual production studio. Silver Spoon scanned in all the ballparks and fans so their motions sitting and standing could be properly rendered. The fans can do up to 500 actions, ranging from high ﬁves during a home run to doing the wave. The system is also advanced where it can control the percentage of fans in the stadium during a game as well as who they are cheering for. For example, Saturday’s Brewers-Cubs game could create a crowd that is 75% Cubs and 25% Brewers. It can also make it appear as if most of them have left if it is a 9-1 ballgame in the ninth inning. The system will also be able to adapt to the weather. When the temperature gets colder in the fall, winter jackets and hats can be added to the fans. Major League Soccer is using virtual ads and scoreboards to show fans during its MLS is Back tournament in Orlando, but only one camera is able to show that. Fox will have four of its 10 cameras that it will use for baseball games calibrated to show the virtual crowds. Zager said more may be calibrated as the season goes along. Zager added that Fox will enhance the crowd noise in addition to what MLB is supplying in the park. He also said discussions are ongoing with the National Football League about crowd noise and virtual fans since there haven’t been any ﬁnal decisions.

Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. 2020 college football schedules By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com As is the case with anything at the moment, things can change in the upcoming weeks ahead. But, as it stands now, only Marshall has gone unscathed in regards to its 2020 college football schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ohio State Buckeyes, West Virginia Mountaineers and Ohio Bobcats have lost at least one game apiece from their regular season schedules this fall, while the Thundering Herd is still slated for a full docket of a dozen games with a little over a month left before college football ofﬁcially kicks off. Ohio State suffered the biggest blow thus far, mainly due to the fact that the Big Ten Conference has decided to play a league-only slate of games for the 2020 campaign. The Buckeyes lost nonconference home matchups with Mid-American Conference programs Bowling Green (Sept. 5) and Buffalo (Sept. 19), as well as a muchanticipated road meeting in Eugene (OR) against the University of Oregon on Sept. 12. Ohio State still has nine games on its 2020 schedule, which will ofﬁcially begin on Saturday, Sept. 26, when it takes on visiting Rutgers at the Horseshoe. Ohio receiver Shane Hooks (5) hauls in a second quarter touchdown between Marshall defenders Brandon Drayton (8) and Chris Jackson, right, on Saturday, Sept. 14, 2019, at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. The Buckeyes will play ﬁve of their nine Big Ten contests at home, including the season ﬁnale against archrival Michigan on Nov. 28. Ohio University suffered only one loss on the schedule thus far as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference announced that all of its afﬁliated schools will not participate in football this fall. The Bobcats were slated to face North Carolina Central in the season opener on Sept. 5 at Peden Stadium. As it currently stands, Ohio will now open the 2020 campaign on the road during a Saturday, Sept. 12, meeting with Boston College at Alumni Stadium. The Bobcats make their home debut against Marshall on Sept. 19 and close out non-conference play on Sept. 26 when they travel to Texas State University — a member of the Sun Belt Conference. Ohio — which will play 5-of-11 games at Peden Stadium this fall — has a balanced mix of home and road contests headed into its MidAmerican Conference schedule. The Bobcats begin MAC play on Saturday, Oct. 3, when they travel to Toledo. West Virginia — from a location stand point — has the most favorable schedule of the four teams being discussed as the Mountaineers are slated to play six of their 11 games in the friendly conﬁnes of Milan Puskar Stadium. WVU, however, is slated to open the year at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta (GA) as part of the Chick-ﬁl-A Kickoff Game. The Mountaineers face Florida State in that featured event on Saturday, Sept. 5. West Virginia opens its home schedule a week later when it faces Eastern Kentucky and would have completed its non-conference schedule on Sept. 19 when it faced visiting Maryland. The Terrapins, however, are a member of the Big Ten Conference — and therefore are playing a conference-only schedule this fall. The Mountaineers open Big 12 play on Saturday, Sept. 26, when they welcome Kansas State to town.

The statewide mask order that goes into effect 6 p.m. Thursday is necessary to slow the growth of the virus, ofﬁcials said, and follows experts’ guidance that widespread mask-wearing over a month or six weeks could put a severe crimp in the virus. Mandatory mask orders are already in place in 19 at-risk Ohio counties, and the number of counties with dangerously high case ﬁgures was expected to rise on Thursday when the state’s new color-coding system was expected to be updated. Cases have surged through July as the state reopened many businesses and in some parts of Ohio crowds ignored social distancing guidelines. Ohio has reported more than 80,000 conﬁrmed and probable cases and more than 3,200 deaths. Many of the latter are among nursing home residents. The economic impact of the pandemic continues to be felt, as the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reported Thursday that 1.5 million claims for unemployment compensation have been ﬁled in the past 18 weeks, including about 30,000 last week. The total is more than the previous three years of claims.

Mike DeWine reversed course on Thursday and called for a nuclear bailout energy law to be repealed and replaced in the wake of a $60 million state bribery scandal implicating one of Ohio’s most powerful politicians. The Republican governor said he continues to support the idea behind the law, which stands to give roughly $1 billion to the Ohio’s two nuclear power plants. He said it’s important to preserve the facilities’ 1,500 jobs and maintain a balanced approach to power generation in the state. But DeWine said the way the law came about tainted it irrevocably. While reasonable people can argue about the policy issues, “the process by which it was created stinks. It’s terrible. It’s not acceptable,” DeWine said. He called on lawmakers to repeal and revisit the legislation “through an open process that the public can have conﬁdence in.” On Wednesday, DeWine was adamant that the law shouldn’t be repealed, saying the policy was sound even if the way it was enacted wasn’t. The ﬂipﬂop was reminiscent of his initial statewide coronavirus mask order in April that he backed away from a day later in the face of widespread criticism. “As I thought about this, and just kind of let the whole story sink in,” DeWine said, “it takes awhile to really get it, I guess.” Debate over repealing the energy law began Tuesday, following the arrests of Republican House Speaker Larry Householder and four associates in the $60 million case. Federal prosecutors allege Householder and others accepted bribes to shepherd the energy bill into law. The governor on Thursday also encouraged lawmakers to move quickly to replace Householder, saying he can no longer function in his job given the charges. DeWine’s reversal came about two hours after House Republican lawmakers launched an effort to repeal a nuclear bailout law and “sanitize” legislative activity as a bribery scandal unfolds over the law’s passage. DeWine also repeatedly defended his legislative director, Dan McCarthy, following a report in The Cincinnati Enquirer that said McCarthy was once president of a dark money group accused of funneling money to Householder during the scheme. Prior to that, McCarthy was also a lobbyist for FirstEnergy Corp., whose subsidiary at the time operated the nuclear plants. No one in the governor’s ofﬁce has been contacted by the FBI or the U.S. Department of Justice, DeWine said. Referring to McCarthy, he said Thursday: “I have no indication at all that he did anything wrong.” Rep. Laura Lanese of suburban Columbus said repealing the energy law and starting over is the only way to address state energy policy issues and restore trust. The state should be encouraging renewable energy development in Ohio as part of its overall energy plan, Lanese said. The House “needs to reassure Ohioans, whether Democrat or Republican, that we are working in their honor,” she said. Lanese and Republican Rep. Rick Carfagna believe the whole bill has been “tainted” by the criminal investigation revealed Wednesday. The Republican lawmakers were joined at a Thursday press conference by Republican Sen. Stephanie Kunze, who came to show her support for the plan to repeal. “From the beginning, this bill and the intention of this bill were not for Ohio but for a select group,” Kunze said Thursday. “It was not about the jobs, it was really a scheme to rip off the taxpayers of Ohio.” Democratic Reps. Michael O’Brien and Michael Skindell also announced their plans to repeal House Bill 6 on Wednesday, while calling for Householder to resign. Skindell blamed the state’s one-party rule for allowing Republican politicians like Householder to “feel invincible” and beholden to special interest groups over their own constituents. “HB 6 was the manifestation of this alleged corruption,” he said. U.S. Attorney David DeVillers described the ploy as likely the largest bribery and moneylaundering scheme that has “ever been perpetrated against the people of the state of Ohio.” Householder was one of the driving forces behind the nuclear plants’ ﬁnancial rescue. Previous attempts to bail out the nuclear plants had stalled in the Legislature before Householder became speaker. Months after taking over, he rolled out a new plan to subsidize the plants and eliminate renewable energy incentives.
