According to the Ohio Department of Health, six residents and one staff member at Abbyshire Place Nursing and Rehabilitation Center have tested positive for the virus, as of Wednesday. As of press time on Thursday evening, attempts by Ohio Valley Publishing to obtain comments regarding the cases at the Abbyshire facility were unsuccessful. The Meigs County Health Department released a statement on Thursday morning regarding four positive cases among asymptomatic workers at two local long-term care facilities which were identified during testing on July 22 as ordered at all long-term care facilities in the state. A news release from Meigs County Health Department Public Information Officer Brody Davis reads as follows: Overbrook Rehabilitation Center is reporting, as a result of the testing, three employees testing positive for COVID-19. All three employees have been asymptomatic, and there are no other employees or residents reporting COVID-19 symptoms at this time.

Mike DeWine, an early advocate among Republicans of wearing masks and other pandemic precautions, tested positive Thursday for the coronavirus just ahead of a planned meeting with President Donald Trump. The Republican governor’s office said he took the test as part of standard protocol before he was to meet Trump at an airport in Cleveland. He had planned to join the president on a visit to the Whirlpool Corp. plant in northwest Ohio. His office said the 73-year-old DeWine had no symptoms, but was returning to Columbus before Trump landed. His office said he and his wife, Fran DeWine, will both be tested there. DeWine then plans to quarantine at his home in Cedarville for 14 days. Lt. Gov. Jon Husted tested negative. DeWine, in his first term as governor, is one of Ohio’s most familiar politicians, previously serving as a U.S. congressman, two-term U.S. senator, Ohio attorney general and lieutenant governor. Deputy White House Press Secretary Judd Deere tweeted that the president wishes DeWine “a speedy and full recovery and commends the job he’s doing for the great state of Ohio.” DeWine becomes the second U.S. governor to test positive for coronavirus after Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt announced he contracted the virus last See DEWINE | 3 Mindy Kearns | Courtesy The Wahama White Falcon Marching Band reached its fundraising goal to purchase new uniforms, following the receipt of an $1,800 donation in memory of a former band member.

Understandably so since we have moved from one figurative fire alarm to another at break-neck speed. The thing about a crisis, whether real or imagined, is that it has a way of seizing the heart and mind of a person… even to the point of robbing them the ability to perceive other things in life. A crisis, no matter how legitimate or merely fancied it may be, can rob a person of the ability to address other matters, issues, and concerns in life and often paralyzes that person when things ignored for the sake of a crisis become themselves crises. “I’ll get to it later,” we say to ourselves as we continue to focus all our attention and energy on that one thing we can’t stop thinking about while, in the background of our lives, problems begin to smolder until they themselves burst into flames. Of course, a true crisis must be addressed. If your head is on fire, you definitely have a crisis and need to put the fire out. Social evils must similarly be addressed and answered with prayerful discernment. Things that are breaking our society, communities, homes, families, and hearts should and must be engaged and dealt with. COVID-19 From page 1 positive for COVID19. The employee has been asymptomatic, and there are no other employees or residents who are reporting symptoms of COVID-19 currently. Overbrook Rehabilitation Center and Arbors at Pomeroy have worked closely with the Meigs County Health Department throughout the COVID-19 response to comply with federal, state and local guidelines. These guidelines include the use of mask to protect residents and staff from the spread of COVID-19. Both facilities will continue to comply with guidelines, utilize proper personal protective equipment, assess employees as they arrive to work, and continue to monitor residents for any changes in condition. Per an updated order from the State of Ohio, Overbrook and Arbors will be testing all employees every other week throughout the pandemic to help manage the spread of the virus. One of these cases was reflected in the Aug. 5 Meigs County COVID-19 numbers, with the other three reflected in the Aug. 6 Meigs County case numbers.

Due to the date of testing and the individuals being asymptomatic they are not considered to be active cases. Both facilities will continue to monitor staff and residence as they have been throughout the pandemic for signs and symptoms of COVID-19,” stated Davis in a news release Thursday afternoon. The first confirmed case is a male in the 20 to 29-year-old age range, who is not hospitalized. The second confirmed case is a female in the 30 to 39-year-old age range, who is not hospitalized. The third confirmed case is a female in the 60 to 69-year-old age range, who is not hospitalized. The probable case is a female in the 50 to 59-year-old age range, who is not hospitalized. This individual is a direct contact of a case reported on Aug. 5. Age ranges for the 33 Meigs County cases are as follows: 0-19 — 5 cases 20-29 — 6 cases (1 new) 30-39 — 5 cases (1 new) 40-49 — 4 cases 50-59 — 5 cases (1 new, 1 hospitalization) 60-69 — 4 cases (1 new, 1 hospitalization) 70-79 — 2 cases 80-89 — 2 cases Twenty-nine individuals in Meigs County have recovered from COVID-19, with four cases considered to be active as of Thursday. Mason County The Mason County Health Department reported on Thursday afternoon that there are a total of 52 cases of COVID-19 in the county. The department said that 21 of those are active, 30 are recovered, there has been on death and 5 patients are currently in the hospital. The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) reported 53 cases in Mason County in the 10 a.m. update on Thursday. According to the DHHR, the age ranges for the 53 COVID-19 cases DHHR is reporting in Mason County are as follows: 0-9 — 2 cases 10-19 — 3 cases 20-29 — 9 cases 30-39 — 3 cases 40-49 — 6 cases 50-59 — 8 cases (1 death) 60-69 — 11 cases (1 new) 70+ — 11 cases (1 new) There is hope in spite of all the despair that people are feeling today. But that hope is not for this life only. And it is not found in any person, movement, or cause on this earth. It is found only in Jesus Christ. Let us pause in the irksome and worrisome pace we’ve been caught up in and consider whether or not we are taking care of the most important thing. “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God” (1 John 5:1-5 ESV).

In a way, Jesus did agree with it when He taught His disciples the Parable of the Tares. Jonathan Jesus said that the KingMcAnulty dom, His church, would be Contributing like a sower going out to sow Columnist seeds in his field. After the sower sowed good wheat seeds, an enemy came by and sowed tare seeds. The weeds were of a sort which looked like wheat initially, so that it was hard to tell the weeds from the grain. Therefore the owner of the field forbade his workers from tearing up any plants, lest they harm the wheat. But at the harvest, telling the two apart would easy and the tares could then be tossed in the fire. (cf. Matthew 13:24-30) In explaining the Parable, Jesus identified Himself as the sower, and the good seed, the wheat, as the sons of the Kingdom, also known as Christians. (cf. Matthew 13:37-38) These good seeds would be gathered up at the harvest and would thereafter shine as the sun in the Kingdom of their father. (Matthew 13:43) That is to say, the righteous in God’s Kingdom on earth will be blessed and will enter into a heavenly reward. The tares were not so blessed. These were sons of the wicked one (cf. Matthew 13:38) and would be gathered out of the kingdom and thrown in a furnace of fire were there would be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (cf. Matthew 13:42) Jesus further identifies these lost souls as those that offend and practice lawlessness. (cf. Matthew 13:41) The point of the parable of the tares is that not everyone who claims to be a faithful follower of Christ is. Some are mere pretenders. They may claim Christ with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. They have no part in His ministry. Or, in other words, sitting in a church pew does not make you a good Christian. Of course, skipping the activities of the church does not make one a good Christian either. God very much wants you to be an active part of the Body of Christ. The Bible speaks about how the church is to function, effectively working, with every part doing its share, thereby causing growth in the church for the edifying of itself in love. (cf. Ephesians 4:16) God commands us, not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as is the habit of some. (cf. Hebrews 10:25) As the apostles preached Christ, the early church was marked by their adherence to the doctrine of the apostles, but also by the regular way in which they interacted with one another in love, prayer and fellowship. (cf. Acts 2:42) We miss the point of the parable of the tares if we think Jesus was trying to say that you don’t need the church. In fact, Jesus was making just the opposite point. The tares were gathered out of the Kingdom to be burned. They were pretending to be part of the church, not disdaining the church altogether. The wheat, which represents the saved, was likewise, already in the Kingdom before the judgment, and continued in the Kingdom after the judgment. Just as Noah was saved in the ark, so too, men are saved in the Kingdom of God. Thus, when you are saved, you are added to the Kingdom (cf. Acts 2:47; Colossians 1:13) At the last day, it is the Kingdom which Jesus will hand over to God. (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:24) There’s no safety outside the Kingdom. (cf. Revelation 22:15; 21:8) What we want to be is wheat in the Kingdom. We don’t want to be tares. The tares, as Jesus said, were those who gave lip-service to Him, but didn’t actually do anything He taught them to do. Instead they practiced sin and immorality, hoping that their words claiming to believe in Jesus would be enough. But it was Jesus who warned that not everyone who claimed Him as Lord would be saved. We need to also do the things he teaches. (cf. Matthew 7:21, Luke 6:46) Lip service and self-identification as a Christian is not enough. It has never been enough. What is needed is that we bear the fruits of obedience. (cf. Matthew 13:23; John 15:8).

When the storms of life come against us like now, help us to remember to keep our eyes on You and keep our faith and trust in You. Then we can be assured that we will be able to survive the waves in our lives too. In Your name we pray. Amen.

CROSS WORDS Walking in light of Christ’s return Every child knows what it’s like to be home alone. Every student knows what it’s like for a teacher to leave the classroom. And every employee knows what it’s like when the boss isn’t around. In those moments, our first instinct is to do whatever we want. Destroy the house. Be the class clown. Send a text message. And all of that sounds fun—unless, of course, the one we fear suddenly returns. And we get caught. So, with that in mind, most of us choose not to take the risk and act as if said person could return at any moment. It’s interesting what expectancy can do. When the imminence of someone returning makes us act differently. And how the return of someone we fear keeps us from doing things we know we would regret later. The same should be true in our walk with Christ. After all, we know He is coming again. Even though we don’t know the day or the hour. We know He is returning as a thief in the night. And how horrible it’d be if we were unprepared for His return. Much worse than if we got caught fooling around in the classroom or scrolling through Facebook at work. But it’s possible to be unprepared for with him [God] while the sudden return of we walk in darkness, our King (see Matt. we lie and do not 25:1-13; 1 Thess. practice the truth” (1 5:3-11), and that Jn. 1:6 ESV).

We will continue to monitor the situation and take the necessary steps to adhere to all safety measures required by the NAIA, state and local governments within our five-state region comprising the conference.” Member schools are working toward bringing students back to campus at this time. Team practices may begin starting August 15. No athletic contests, including scrimmages and exhibitions, will be conducted prior to September 5. Prior to all practices, all coaches and student-athletes will be screened by the university using NAIA guidelines. Prior to all competition, all support staff, officials, coaches and student-athletes will be screened by a health profes- sional per NAIA guidelines. In addition, for the RSC, this screening will also occur prior to any team traveling. As a result of the recent decision by the full NAIA Council of Presidents to allow conferences to determine their own testing protocols, the RSC will not require pre-participation COVID-19 PCR testing for all student-athletes. Each member institution may establish its own testing requirements consistent with local and state guidelines and policies. However, should a studentathlete present with symptoms outlined by the NAIA, Conference and institution policies will be followed. This requires that a health professional clears those athletes to return to play. By starting competition in the fall season, we can still opt to move some or all of the regular season competitions or postseason championships to winter/spring if necessary. We intend to provide flexibility to our members in postponing and rescheduling contests such that no one is placed in a “play at all cost” situation. With the NAIA’s recent announcement to move national championships for all fall sports to the spring, our members will utilize non-conference competition during the spring semester, including with conference opponents, if needed, to prepare for these championships. The allowance or restrictions for fans will be left to the member schools using their state and local guidelines. Social distancing as well as mask requirements are expected. As we move closer to competition, the RSC website will post each school’s decision and any requirements related to spectator participation. The RSC Administrative Council continues to work toward the necessary policies and procedures for moving forward in what has become an ever-changing situation. We continue to monitor federal, state and local guidelines and policies and remain flexible to make changes as the situation develops. Our goal is to continue to provide a great studentathlete experience while maintaining safety standards. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande. Revised look at Ohio State schedule By Jim Naveau jnaveau@limanews.com Ohio State will open its football season on Sept. 3 at Illinois and its rivalry game against Michigan will be Oct. 24 at Ohio Stadium on a revised schedule, which was announced Wednesday morning. The game against Illinois will be on a Thursday night and will be the first game of the season in the Big Ten. The Oct. 24 game against Michigan will be the first time since 1942 that the Buckeyes and their biggest rival have not matched up against each other in the final week of the regular season. A tenth game, on Sept. 19 at Purdue, was also added to Ohio State’s schedule. OSU’s revised schedule: Sept. 3 — at Illinois; Sept. 12 — Rutgers; Sept. 19 — at Purdue; Sept. 26 — Indiana; Oct. 3 — bye; Oct. 10 — Nebraska; Oct. 17 — at Michigan State; Oct. 24 — Michigan; Oct. 31 — at Maryland; Nov. 7 — at Penn State; Nov. 14 — bye; Nov. 21 — Iowa; Dec. 5 — Big Ten Championship Game.

Associated Press OHSAA Early Season CC Invite cancelled By Tim Stried Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – With the health and safety of everyone involved as the top concern and due to the large size of the event, the Ohio High School Athletic Association Early Season Cross Country Invitational, scheduled for August 15 at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park, has been cancelled. The OHSAA’s decision was made Wednesday. “We are very disappointed that the event is cancelled and understand that there will be frustrations from our student-athletes, but we have to put safety first,” said Bob Goldring, OHSAA Interim Executive Director. “We are meticulously moving forward with reopening our seasons for competition and appreciate the guidance of the Governor’s Office and the Ohio Department of Health. We also appreciate the cooperation of Fortress Obetz and we look forward to conducting our state championships there November 7.” Sparked by additional interest from many schools since the course is the new home of the OHSAA cross country state championships, the OHSAA began putting schools on the wait list in mid-July and adjusted the schedule, race formats and the number of runners in each race in the hopes of providing the opportunity to participate to more schools. A decision had not yet been made regarding spectators. Cross country events can still proceed around the state beginning August 24, as the sport of cross country has been designated as a low-contact sport by the Governor’s Office and the Ohio Department of Health. The OHSAA currently recommends smaller cross country events be held. Tim Stried is the Director of Communications for the OHSAA. delay or cancel competition pursuant to local and state public health orders or the recommendations of our medical experts.” Big Ten competition start dates for men’s and women’s cross-country, field hockey, men’s and women’s soccer and women’s volleyball have been postponed through at least Sept. 5. Conference-only schedules for those sports will be released later. The conference also released its medical policies and protocols for all sports on testing requirements, and quarantine and isolation. Testing will be managed by a third-party laboratory to ensure consistency across the conference. Testing frequency will be based on the level of contact risk within each sport and is required for athletes, coaches and staff depending upon exposure to the athletes. Sports that have a high risk of contact will have a minimum of two tests per week during the competitive season. All other sports will have a minimum of one test per week. The Big 12 announced this week that its teams would play nine conference games beginning in mid- to late September, with one home nonconference game before that. Atlantic Coast Conference teams will play 10 conference games and one nonconference game that will be held in the state of the ACC team, with first games the week of Sept. 7. The Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 are playing 10-game conference-only schedules beginning Sept. 26. “It would be purely speculation for me to sit here today and say this is what percent I think we’ll have a season,” Warren said. “I know from my standpoint I’m taking this entire process, this entire journey, on a dayto-day basis.” How many fans will be in the stands remains a question. Rutgers already has announced that all athletic events would follow state guidelines limiting outdoor gatherings to 500 people or fewer. Maryland said Wednesday it is preparing to begin the season without fans. Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez sent a letter to season ticket holders saying the school “is preparing for the reality that it will not be appropriate for thousands of fans to gather in Camp Randall on Saturdays this fall.” Illinois noted that current state guidelines allow for attendance up to 20% of stadium capacity. Other schools indicated they’d announce ticket or attendance plans later. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, August 7, 2020 9 MLB tightening virus protocols, including masks in dugouts NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball is cracking down on coronavirus safety protocols, mandating that players and staff wear face coverings at all times, including in the dugouts and bullpens, except for players on the field of play. The league sent a memo to teams Wednesday outlining changes to its 2020 operations manual after outbreaks on the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals led to 21 postponements in the first two weeks of a shortened 60-game season. The memo, obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday night, says that repeated or flagrant violators of the protocols could be banned from participating in the 2020 season and postseason. That includes those who don’t wear face coverings while watching from the dugout. Although such measures were suggested in MLB’s operations manual before Wednesday, some players have continued to not wear face masks, offer high fives, spit and vio- late the protocols in other ways during games. Umpires are also being instructed to wear face masks at all times, except when it would make it unfeasible for them to do their jobs. Compliance officers have been appointed for each team, and they have been charged with enforcing protocols outlined in the operations manual in an effort to keep baseball’s season running. Players and staff must wear face coverings at all times at team hotels and in public places while on the road. On team buses and airplanes, personnel must wear surgical masks or N95/KN95 respirators. At hotels, teams have been instructed to provide a large private room — a ballroom, for instance — where staff and players can get food and other amenities with enough space to keep their distance. Players are discouraged from talking to each other or facing each other if their mask is pulled down while eating. Schedule Signs ominous as college sports hangs in balance From page 8 Associated Press season Sept. 5 against Bowling Green and then go to Oregon on Sept. 12. But those games and a Sept. 19 game against Buffalo were canceled when the Big Ten announced in July it would play only conference games this season. During a Tuesday teleconference with Ohio State’s 2020 captains, some of those players said changing the date of the Michigan game would not be a problem for them. “With the uncertainty of the season right now, I’m more concerned with playing them at all,” OSU center Josh Myers said. “Of course, with the tradition of The Game, I would love for it to be the last game of the season. I’d also love to have a normal college football schedule. I’d love to play Oregon. So there are a lot of things that are different about this year.” Quarterback Justin Fields said, “I don’t really care when we play the team up north. I just want to play them.” Offensive lineman Wyatt Davis said, “It really doesn’t matter to me when we play them. Obviously the tradition of The Game is very important to us, but it doesn’t matter to me.” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith cautioned that the revised schedule is not a guarantee there will be a football season. “This is not a final decision that there will be an athletics season. It is the next phase in our responsible planning process with the Big Ten Conference to be prepared if we are able to have an athletics season. The final decision will be made in the coming weeks in consultation with local, state and federal authorities,” he said in a statement. Appearing on a Big Ten Network program to announce the football schedules of all 14 conference teams, Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren said, “There’s no guarantee that we will have fall sports or football season, but we’re doing everything we possibly can that if we’re so blessed to be able to have fall sports, that things are organized and done in a very methodical and professional manner.” By Ralph D. Russo those schools are going to have to operate consistent with their local municipal policies, their state policies, federal policies, and then also The announcements came whatever they decide collectively within 40 minutes of each other in the conference.

And eastern Conference and Pac-12. Those leagues along with the five other FBS conferences have methodically put plans in place to play a season that will be worth billions in revenue — most of it landing in the Power Five. The commissioners of those conferences talked a lot about collaboration, but in the end each league did what was in its best interest. The NCAA’s main role has been to provide guidelines for how to attempt to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 as athletes return to campus, practice and ultimately competition. The NCAA cannot stop regularseason competition. When the board considered pulling the plug on fall championships last month, conference leaders throughout all of Division I pushed back. There was even discussion among the most powerful conferences that they could stage their own championship events without the NCAA. The pandemic has exposed college sports’ lack of clearly defined, top-down leadership, though Emmert said the current problems wouldn’t be easier to solve with a different structure. “We’re at a place where all of the answers to all of the questions are complicated because they are very complicated questions,” Emmert said. “And so I guess I understand people that say, ‘You know, somebody make a decision.’ And I would hope that those same people would recognize that I and my board are more than willing to make decisions. We did it in March (canceling the NCAA basketball tournament).

Both sides have set a goal of agreeing on a deal by week’s end — though that is appearing increasingly out of reach. The White House is also promising that Trump will attempt to use executive orders to address elements of the congressional package involving evictions and jobless benefits. But there’s no evidence that the strategy would have much impact or be anything close to what’s necessary, and Pelosi appeared unimpressed at a morning news conference. Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump huddled at the White House Thursday with the Senate’s top Republican over a vital COVID-19 rescue package, but hopes on Capitol Hill for a deal were souring and there was increasing worry that GOP negotiations with Democrats might collapse. The impasse in the negotiations is putting at risk more than $100 billion to help reopen schools, a fresh round of $1,200 direct payments to most people, and hundreds of billions of dollars for state and local governments to help them avoid furloughing workers and cutting services as tax revenues shrivel. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is a key player in the troubled talks and possesses far more experience than Trump’s administration negotiating team, which is publicly frustrated by the inflexible tactics of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. The Democratic duo has not yielded much ground Jose Luis Magana | AP House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, joined by Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday. Pelosi and Schumer are holding fast to the $3.5 trillion House-passed rescue package in negotiations with the Trump administration and Senate Republicans. provide the lion’s share of votes in the Senate. The votes, as Pelosi often says, are the currency of the realm. The Democratic duo has stayed in sync throughout the talks — which they demanded — even reminding reporters Thursday that their relationship dates to Schumer’s time as a hard-charging House member in the 1980s and early 1990s. They say the federal coronavirus aid package needs to be huge in order to meet the moment: a surge in cases and from an unprecedented $3.5 trillion House-passed rescue package. McConnell seemed to downplay the significance of the Trump meeting, telling a reporter merely that “we talked a little bit about everything.” And Pelosi and Schumer were still exuding confidence in a political and legislative landscape that’s tilted in their favor. Trump and McConnell both badly want an agreement, but Democrats control the House and may actually until next year,” he said. No field commander was chosen this year, because the band members will not be doing field maneuvers at halftime of the football games. The traditional band camp was eliminated, and instead outside music practice was held with distancing. Groups of like instruments were formed, including woodwinds, percussion, and brass, as well as flags. “We will be playing a lot from the stands,” Bradley said, “and there will be little marching because the members have to stand apart.” The director said the halftime music will be numbers everyone will recognize. “Country Roads,” “Amazing Grace,” and a John Philip Sousa marching arrangement will be among the selections. Even though the band’s new uniforms will not be able to be shown off as much as members would have liked, Bradley said they appreciate all of the support in ways of sponsorships and donations. He especially thanked Bitanga’s “Save the Music” program, which “jump started” fundraising efforts. Over $10,000 was donated to the band after the third annual Bitanga’s Breakathon. The new uniforms will feature red jackets and white pants. Instead of the present crossbelts, they will have a wide sash bearing the school’s name. The red helmet has a mirrored front that will reflect sun or field light. The final accessory will be a large white plume worn atop the hat. The uniforms were $650 each, with the total being nearly $41,000. They are replacing ones that are over 16 years old. Many fundraising events, including a benefit bingo, were halted in March due to COVID-19. That is when the boosters organization concentrated their efforts on having businesses and individuals sponsor a uniform or make a donation. Original plans were for the uniforms to be delivered around the first of July. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Cop bers, and friends took part in the event.
