Band camp and other summer activities have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Marching bands left with uncertainty By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — While no one knows what the future holds, marching bands in Gallia and Meigs Counties are making sure the music never stops. With the Ohio Music Education Association canceling its sanctioning of events for the fall competition season, and all the uncertainty around the upcoming football season, band directors are taking different approaches to the fall. Meigs director Toney Dingess is using the return to sports guidelines passed down to football earlier this summer. “We’ve been back in session for about three weeks now with summer band,” Dingess said. “I just adapted what the football program was asked to do, so we’ve been through Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the restart of sports. We continue to take everyone’s temperature in the morning when they arrive for practice. We have socially distanced our practice area, so we have everyone sitting or standing at least six feet apart. We have a mask mandate, so everybody wears a mask when we’re not playing. “Our administration here has been very helpful. They’ve allowed me to move my bandroom into the cafeteria, which gives us more room to spread the kids out. Anything I’ve needed they’ve helped me with, my band boosters have sent in hand sanitizing lotion and they bought a couple of sanitizing stations for my bandroom, so we’re all doing our very best to keep the students healthy and still let them have a little bit of fun.” A week before it was scheduled to take place, the MHS band camp was canceled for the summer. Instead, the Maroon and Gold are practicing from 9 a.m. to noon, ﬁve days a week, with no outside volunteers. For Gallia Academy and director Allyson Johnston band camp has also been canceled for the year, but adapting to the sports and health department guidelines have worked to this point. “There’s not a whole lot of guidance to be found in the marching band world,” Johnston said. “I’ve started small sectional rehearsals, so groups of 10-or-less, and we’ve just taught them to be clean. Just like the sports teams, we’re taking their temperatures when they walk in the door. I make them wash their hands because they’re about to touch the instrument, and I make them clean their whole station when they’re done. “My room is pretty big at the high school, so the health department allowed me to have 10 kids in there playing instruments socially distanced. We would be allowed to have them all outside, so I am going to do some groups next week outside. A lot of our things can be done that way.” At River Valley, director John Reed is taking a different approach, following studies funded by the Nation Association of Music Manufacturers, and backed by the National See BANDS | 5 OHIO VALLEY — Five new COVID-19 cases were reported in Meigs County on Friday — three conﬁrmed cases and two probable cases — including two active cases involving Overbrook Rehabilitation Center. “Overbrook is reporting 1 active employee COVID infection and 1 active resident COVID infection. The employee is not working during the quarantine period and the resident is hospitalized. We are conducting resident and staff testing today of those potentially exposed. We have implemented full PPE and a See CASES | 5 DeWine tests negative after positive test before Trump visit By Farnoush Amiri and Dan Sewell Report for America/Associated Press ‘Drug take back event’ planned, with updates By Sharla Moody Special to OVP OHIO VALLEY — Local community coalitions have come together to provide a drug take back event to happen at home. “In the US alone, 15 million people have abused prescription drugs,” Shannon Dalton, who works for the Gallia-Jackson-Meigs Board of Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health (ADAMH) and helped organize the event, said. “So, by removing prescriptions from your medicine cabinets you can reduce the chance of drug abuse or accidental misuse.” Individuals who have expired or unneeded medications, can go to one of the supported locations to pick up a free Deterra at-home drug-deactivation bag. To use the bag, one pours the medication in, adds water, and then seals and shakes the bag. The medicine is then deactivated and can be disposed of in a trash can. “The reason why the coalitions are doing this is because prescription drug abuse causes the largest percentages of overdosing in America,” Dalton said. “You have children and young adults, you can reduce their opportunity to access prescription medications.” AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Mike DeWine tested negative for COVID-19 on Thursday after testing positive earlier in the day before he was to meet with President Donald Trump, according to a statement from his ofﬁce. His wife, Fran DeWine, also tested negative, as did staff members. They underwent a different type of test in Columbus; one considered to be more accurate than the rapid-result test which showed DeWine to be positive for COVID-19 just ahead of a planned meeting with Trump in Cleveland. The conﬂicting results underscore the problems with both kinds of tests and are bound to spur more questions about them. Many people in the U.S. can’t get lab results on the more accurate version for weeks, rather than the few hours it took the governor to ﬁnd out. The governor and ﬁrst lady plan to undergo another test Saturday, according to the statement.

Ohio governor’s COVID-19 results show tests imperfections THE CLINIC AT WASHINGTON (AP) — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s positive-then-negative test results for the coronavirus are a reminder that no test is deﬁnitive. The governor tested positive using a rapid test Thursday, before testing negative later in the day using a more sensitive laboratory-developed test. He was tested because he was going to meet with President Donald Trump during his visit to the state. No test for coronavirus infection is perfect, and test results can be affected by a variety of factors, including the type of test used, the quality of the sample and when it was taken during the course of any infection. Antigen test DeWine initially received an antigen test, a type of rapid test that uses similar technology for screening for ﬂu, strep throat and other infections on small machines at doctor’s ofﬁces.

The World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA) is a global network committed to the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding worldwide. This organization was formed on Feb. 14, 1991. This year’s slogan for WABA was “Support Breastfeeding for a Healthier Planet.” The objective was to inform people about the connection between breastfeeding and the environment/ Amber climate change, anchor Evans breastfeeding as a climateContributing smart decision, engage with columnist individuals and organizations for greater impact, and galvanize action on improving the health of the planet and people through breastfeeding. Climate change and environmental deterioration are some of the challenges faced due to food production systems and consumption patterns. The Women, Infant, and Children Program (WIC) is a nutrition education program for pregnant women, infants, and children up to the age of ﬁve. Although WIC offers formula to participants, it is in fact a breastfeeding organization. The Ohio WIC Program is devoted to helping make breastfeeding the cultural standard for infants. WIC offers education and support to help women to make educated feeding decisions while supporting the mother in her choice. Breastfeeding is the most natural and ecological way to feed your baby. There are no risks of preservatives or contamination in breastmilk. Feeding straight from the breast reduces waste and saves energy. Using breast pumps requires extra accessories and storage products, but still is more earth-friendly than formula. Most of these products are reusable and, when you consider the waste created by formula manufacturing and packaging, feeding breastmilk generates less waste and uses fewer natural resources. To see if you qualify for WIC, call (740) 992-0392. For any woman interested in breastfeeding, but who are not WIC eligible, call or text me at (740) 444-3449. I can help answer breastfeeding questions or concerns you may have.

It’s also in conference with the NAfME as well as with other organizations. We have been looking for that study to tell us how much we can expect with wind instruments. They have said that you should take all the precautions necessary, because it can cause spread. “They gave us guidelines and with all of those guidelines, and all the uncertainty and the fear from parents who I have heard back from, we have actually decided to go completely percussion. We’re taking out wind instruments completely for the time being.” South Gallia is currently without a band director, but Principal Bray Shamblin noted that SGHS is keeping an eye on what’s going on in the music world. “We have looked at what OMEA has said, and obviously they’re not having any competitions,” Shamblin said. “To my knowledge Marshall University has cancelled their band camps, band day and honors band. We’re going to try to do everything we can, but at the same time, being aware that there are health concerns when it comes to playing an instrument. “I don’t know what the Ohio Department of Health is going to mandate for events. When we get to football games, I don’t know what the OHSAA is going to require. We’re starting meetings to discuss what we’re going to do with athletic events in our own district. Once we ﬁnalize all of those things I’ll have a clearer picture of what we’re going to do with non-essential personnel at games. When I say non-essential, I mean everybody except coaches and players.” The Ohio Valley Conference has said that bands won’t be playing at away games this fall, and with competitions cancelled, Gallia Academy is working on some new music and hoping for a place to perform this winter. “Since we’re not doing the competition thing, I’ve pulled out some more standard tunes and pop tunes that will kind of keep the kids interested,” Johnston said. “Obviously playing music right now is important for them. The kids are just thrilled to be playing music together. Looking forward, I’m kind of hoping things will be better by the time basketball rolls around, and maybe there could be places there where we could preform. We’re just going to have to be ﬂexible and take any opportunity that comes our way.” RVHS continues music education without knowing its next chance to play for fans, but Reed noted another DeWine From page 1 arranged by the White House in Cleveland as part of standard protocol before he was to meet Trump at an airport. He had planned to join the president on a visit to the Whirlpool Corp. plant in northwest Ohio. Instead, he received the news he tested positive, called his wife, and returned to central Ohio where he took the other test that showed him to be negative. The positive result from the ﬁrst test was “a big surprise to our family,” DeWine said at a late afternoon news conference broadcast from his porch on his farm in Cedarville in southwestern Ohio, where he planned to quarantine for 14 days. Dewine, 73, said he didn’t know how he would have contracted the coronavirus and that he’s already been spending much of his time at his farm, keeping his distance from family members and staff. DeWine said he feels ﬁne with no symptoms. stress on his program at this time. “My focus isn’t on when we’re going to perform next,” Reed said. “My thing is just on getting kids in here to play, to continue their music education, and to continue on with the making of music, even if its just for ourselves at this point. “Not only are schools in need of things, but inside those schools are music programs that were hurting for funding and resources before all of this happened. There are still programs, including mine, that are still looking for donations of instruments or ﬁnancial assistance.” Meigs will be prepared if they are asked to play when the Marauders take the gridiron for ﬁrst time this fall. “We are planing on doing a football band, we’re just kind of waiting to see what the mandate is on football, if there’s spectators allowed, or if bands can play,” Dingess said. “That’s up in the air, but we’re preparing as if we’re going to play. We have a ‘plan c’ if that doesn’t work out, and if that doesn’t work out we’ll drop back to ‘plan d’. Everybody is in the same boat, sort of playing things by ear and making things happen for the students moving forward as best as we can.” When you do see the Marauder Band march again, don’t be surprised if it’s slightly smaller than you remember. “Our numbers are down by about 20,” Dingess said. “We should have had about 95 this summer and we’ve had 75. I understand that, of course there’s a lot of concern with parents and kids. The new students coming in, we didn’t really get a chance to recruit them as we usually do and remind them to sign up for band. We lost some numbers there’s no doubt about that, but it was expected.” Johnston believes Gallia Academy’s numbers have also taken a hit from school letting out early last spring. “I think some people are truly nervous about the virus and don’t want to put their kid at risk, and I think the other half is just lack of consistency,” Johnston said. “We haven’t seen these kids on a regular basis since March, so maybe they’ve fallen out with their friend group that may have been there.” The Raider band will also be a bit smaller, and Reed explained why there’s more to it than just fear of the virus. “Our numbers are down because of this whole situation,” Reed said. “Not only are parents leery of sending their child into this kind of situation inside the school building, but they also have different situations. Parents may have preexisting conditions, so their kids are going virtually, and we have people in economic distress that have children taking summer jobs to help out with the family expenses.” Regardless of location, number of members or when they’ll get to perform again, the work continues for marching bands. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Mask-wearing also has been a point of contention at the Statehouse, where many Democratic lawmakers have donned masks while many Republican lawmakers have not. DeWine has often found himself at odds with members of his own party on the policy. DeWine’s key health adviser during the pandemic, Dr. Amy Acton, left government this week. In the early months, she joined DeWine at daily briefings and was a popular ﬁgure. However, backlash against state restrictions helped lead to a protest at her home and her decision to step away from the spotlight. Since early in the pandemic, DeWine has hosted his daily brieﬁngs from a room separate from where the press corps gathers at the Ohio Statehouse. He would appear on a television in front of the reporters, who could step up to a microphone and ask questions. DeWine held one of those brieﬁngs Tuesday but no other public events Health Department is reporting a total of 62 COVID-19 cases, with that number remaining unchanged since Wednesday.

In at least two briefings, DeWine has shared how several friends had died from the virus, urging the public to think about their loved ones, especially grandparents. The governor has 23 grandchildren. Notably, DeWine and his wife had avoided political rallies or meeting with members of the White House since the pandemic began. In June, the governor was scheduled to appear at a former General Motors plant in Lordstown but decided against it when Vice President Mike Pence announced he was going.

Ohio Supreme Court to hear armed school staff training case HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court will hear a school district’s appeal of a ruling that they must provide police-level training to employees carrying concealed weapons. Madison Local Schools voted to allow armed school employees after a 2016 shooting in which two students were shot and wounded by a 14-yearold boy. A group of parents sued the district in September 2018 to prevent teachers from being armed without extensive training. A Butler County judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying that school staff did not need extensive training because they are not law enforcement ofﬁcers. The district’s policy requires 24 hours of training for staff carrying concealed weapons. The parents appealed to the 12th District Court of Appeals, which ruled in March that Ohio law requires anyone who carries ﬁrearms in schools to have undergone a minimum of 728 hours of law enforcement training. The district asked the state Supreme Court in May to hear its appeal, and a court spokesperson said Friday that all seven justices had voted in favor of taking the case up for review. Several other school districts and the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce have ﬁled briefs in support of Madison’s appeal. The parents maintain the state appeals court made the correct decision. Ohio may purge 120K inactive voters from rolls post-election COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — About 120,000 inactive Ohio voter registrations will be purged from state voter rolls after the November election, the state elections chief announced Friday, while saying that number could go down if people on the list simply vote in the election. The removal, required under state and federal law, will take effect Dec. 7 and affects Ohioans who haven’t voted in six years. That could also include voters who died, moved out of state or are in the system twice, the Secretary of State’s Ofﬁce said. By providing four months’ notice, the hope is to increase voter turnout by encouraging people to check their voter registration and update it if needed, or just cast a ballot, Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said. “Go vote this November so you can stay a registered voter,” LaRose said in an interview. “If it’s one more motivation to be active in the civic life of our state, that’s a great thing.” The inactive registrations will be uploaded to the Secretary of State’s website for review by next month. The League of Women Voters will check the list for inaccuracies and work to reach eligible voters at risk of being removed, said Jen Miller, director of the league’s Ohio chapter. The group prefers other methods for keeping rolls up to date, such as automatic voter registration, which can electronically update registrations any time eligible voters interact with a government agency. But Miller commended LaRose for making the list public, “which allows us to better serve Ohio voters.” The number of inactive voters has shrunk from about 650,000 four years ago as people either voted or otherwise updated their registration information. The voters identiﬁed in 2016 were deemed inactive for the two previous years, and were notiﬁed they had until 2020 to update their voter registration information. Voters on the current list can do a number of things to make their registration active, including voting in November, requesting an absentee ballot application, or updating or conﬁrming their address. Ohio has about 7.8 million voter registrations. Ohio Valley Publishing World’s Longest Yard Sale still lines roads GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — For decades, thousands of vendors have fanned out along roadsides from Alabama to Michigan each summer to haggle over the prices of old Coca-Cola bottles, clothes, toys, knives and more at The World’s Longest Yard Sale. And though the coronavirus pandemic has canceled events around the globe, the six-state yard sale is happening this weekend for the 34th straight year. Beginning Thursday and ending Sunday, thousands of people will mingle, chat and bargain across a 690-mile-long (1,110 kilometer) stretch of Middle America. Organizers say they might not get the usual crowd, estimated at 200,000 people, but they could. “We feel like there’s a lot of pentup demand,” said Hugh Stump III, executive director of tourism in Gadsden, at the southernmost end of the sale. The crowd was predominantly older on the ﬁrst day in Gadsden, and many people wore face masks and visibly tried to keep away from others. COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, can be particularly dangerous for the elderly and people with other health problems. But many others didn’t wear facial coverings, and it wasn’t uncommon to see people standing shoulder-to-shoulder as they looked through racks of clothes or tables full of shoes set up outside. Promoters considered canceling the event because of the pandemic, which has killed more than 160,000 Americans and infected nearly 5 million more, but they decided to go ahead with precautions including reminders about masks, social distancing and handwashing. “The fact that it’s a mostly outdoor event was a large determining factor in going forward. There’s plenty of space for social distancing and the other guidelines can be followed as well. In addition, because this event is critical to many people’s livelihood it’s very important,” sale spokesman Josh Randall said in an email. Vendors set up days early at Cumberland Mountain General Store in Clarkrange, Tennessee, where as many as 100 booths will be open though the weekend. “It’s usually packed here,” store clerk June Walker said. Other places opted out this year because of the virus. The Darke County Steam Threshers Association in Ansonia, Ohio, decided against allowing vendors on its 30 acres (12 hectares) of land, President Jo Stuck said. “To keep up with all the health mandates … we just do not have the volunteers to do it this year,” she said. “The two of us who can be there all the time have compromised immune systems, and that puts our health at risk plus the health of our visitors and our vendors.” The loss of rental income will hurt the group, which stages events featuring old farm machines, but members didn’t want to be put in the position of dealing with people who willfully defy Ohio’s mandatory mask rule, Stuck said. “There are a lot of people around here that have an issue with it and don’t want to follow it,” she said. “It’s a big problem.” The yard sale began in 1987 as a way to lure visitors off interstate highways to a small town in Tennessee. No one owns the event, Randall said, but it’s promoted on a website that includes tips for vendors, maps and, for 2020, pandemic health guidelines. Also known as the 127 Yard Sale, the event follows U.S. 127 from near Addison, Michigan, to Chattanooga, Tennessee, through Ohio and Kentucky. From there, it meanders through northwest Georgia to Noccalula Falls, a 250acre (100-hectare) public park in Gadsden. Patricia Gurley piled into a car with two friends and drove about 170 miles (275 kilometers) miles to the Gadsden end of the sale from her home in Corinth, Mississippi. With a yellow mask pulled down under her chin, she was excited about visiting the sale for the ﬁrst time and wasn’t concerned about the pandemic. “I don’t worry about that. If you’re gonna get it, you’re gonna get it,” she said. Nicole Gerle came even further: She drove 2,075 miles (3,340 kilometers) from her home in San Diego and planned to travel the route at least to Ohio, maybe even all the way to Michigan. Wearing a mask, Gerle said she wasn’t fretting over the coronavirus: “If other people aren’t going to be smart, I’m going to be smart on my side.” But Gerle was worried about getting good deals on items including a metal basket she planned to take home, repurpose into other goods and sell. “The purchasing is livelihood for me and the selling is livelihood for them,” she said, pointing toward sales tables. “People make their income; they count on this.” Vendor Ann Sullins has set up shop at the past ﬁve sales and was thankful this year’s wasn’t called off. But realistically, she said, the yard sale is just too big to cancel. “People are going to do just like they do,” said Sullins, who wasn’t wearing a mask but tried to keep her distance from others and had hand sanitizer. “When something like this comes up, they’re going to go out and do it just because it gives them a break from home.” Hard-hit businesses hope for 2nd chance at loan NEW YORK (AP) — Small businesses are in limbo again as the coronavirus outbreak rages and the government’s $659 billion relief program draws to a close. Companies still struggling with sharply reduced revenue are wondering if Congress will give them a second chance at the Paycheck Protection Program, which ends Saturday after giving out 5.1 million loans worth $523 billion. While the program that began April 3 has gotten mixed reviews, business owners still need help as the virus continues to spread and hamstring the economy. “They’ve exhausted their funds and are looking for a Round Two,” says Molly Day, a spokeswoman for the National Small Business Association, an advocacy group. Congress is debating further help for small business as part of a broader coronavirus relief package. One proposal would allow the hardesthit businesses, those whose revenue is down over 50%, to return for a second PPP loan; there’s still over $100 billion in unclaimed money in the program. Some businesses are already expressing concerns. For example, the 50% requirement will leave out many small businesses, says Sean Kennedy, an executive vice president at the industry group National Restaurant Association. Many hard-hit groups such as restaurants have managed to keep some revenue ﬂowing in, but still need a ﬁnancial lifeline, “At that level only about 45% of restaurants would qualify. A second round of PPP will make or break these restaurants,” he says. At the moment, negotiations on the relief package have bogged down over unrelated issues including unemployment beneﬁts for laid-off workers. When the PPP was created, the widespread expectation was the pandemic would subside by the summer, businesses would reopen and life would return to some semblance of normality. That’s why Congress mandated that businesses use the money within eight weeks or forfeit the chance for loan forgiveness. Instead, late spring and summer brought a resurgence of the virus in many parts of the country as companies reopened. Many restaurants are either closed again or operating with severe restrictions on the number of diners they can serve. Sales are down at many retailers as customers would rather shop online than take a chance on an in-person visit. And companies that cater weddings or produce corporate events have little or no revenue as gatherings have been canceled, some of them for the rest of this year. Many businesses spent the PPP money to meet the terms for loan forgive- Calendar From page 3 Wednesday, Aug. 19 ness, although they would have been better served saving it. (Congress later gave businesses 24 weeks to spend the money, but it was too late for many.) Five months after the pandemic hit the U.S., they need another loan. Business is only 25% of normal at Coach’s Corner, a restaurant in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, that used to be crowded after Little League and high school football games. A PPP loan helped co-owner Sue Remien hire back her 18 full- and part-time staffers, but when the money ran out, she had to lay six off again. Business is limited by social distancing and unpredictable because many customers are still uneasy about dining out. “One day is gangbusters — everyone wants to come on a Friday night, then Saturday is nothing. I wonder if I can keep the doors open,” she says. Remien is interested in a second PPP loan, but wants to be able to use the money for expenses besides payroll, rent and insurance — the only costs allowed to be paid for under the original program. She has bills to pay while revenue is down. While restaurants are among the hardest hit because of their extended shutdowns, other companies were able to get more beneﬁts from the loans. “There were challenges at the outset but once it go up and running, it really did what it needed to do,” says Chris Netram, a vice president at the National Association of Manufacturers, an industry group whose members include thousands of small businesses. But, he noted, many manufacturers need more help. The loan Jim Kolea got for his truck repair business helped keep 30 staffers working although the trucking industry was hard hit by the pandemic; as manufacturers and retailers shut down, there was less need for trucks and in turn, less need for maintenance. “Freight deﬁnitely declined for some of our customers and therefore we lost about 50% of our business,” says Kolea, owner of PennFleet, based in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania. With the economy struggling, Kolea’s business is still down, and having spent all his loan money, he’s hoping for a second loan. Yael Krigman didn’t have to close her Washington, D.C., bakery but sales to hotels, corporate events and parties vanished and the four-month shutdown of the nearby National Zoo cut into revenue from walk-in customers. Krigman laid off staffers and rehired them when she got a PPP loan, but that money has been spent. She’s staying in business because she’s changed her product mix, focusing more on comfort foods like bagels, and selling more online. Still, Baked by Yael’s revenue is still sharply lower, and Krigman says, “it’s not good, and it’s deﬁnitely not sustainable.” 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org.

After the Treaty of Camp Charlotte ended Lord Dunmore’s War between settlers and Native Americans, it was border between cultures. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established it as the border between slavery and freedom, and when those tensions came to a head in 1861, it was the border between two nations at war.

A series of seventy reservoirs along its tributaries has lessened the damage since then, but every so often, we still need to close the ﬂoodwalls and clean out the stores in Pomeroy.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State opened preseason training camp Thursday with strict coronavirus protocols in place and under a cloud of uncertainty about whether the revised 10-game season will even be played at all. Rules requiring testing, masks, frequent disinfecting of equipment and social distancing — at least as much as is possible with around 120 players on the ﬁeld — were observed at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center as the Buckeyes gathered for the ﬁrst of 24 practices leading up to their Sept. 3 opener at Illinois. With schools already having abandoned their nonconference schedules because of the pandemic, the Big Ten released a schedule — along with a long list of required medical protocols — that includes 10 games per school, evenly split between home and away. Whether there will be any fans in 105,000-seat Ohio Stadium is still an open question. And there’s still a chance the season will be scrapped, depending upon virus trends and consultations with government ofﬁcials. That will be determined in the coming weeks. Some smaller conferences have already done away with fall sports. Coach Ryan Day said he talked to his team about all those issues. “We don’t know what’s coming tomorrow,” Day said after practice. “Certainly anything’s possible. We all know that, but we’re really not focused on that.” The Buckeyes began working toward whatever comes next after being conﬁned to their homes for a quarantine and then having summer workouts in Columbus disrupted by some positive coronavirus tests, although the school won’t say how many there were or provide names. Players will be tested twice a week during preseason camp. “It’s great to see the guys, just be around the team and feel the energy and be able to work out and practice together,” senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper said. “I think that’s doing a huge thing for everybody’s mental health.” Quarterback Justin Fields See CAMP | 10 66 players opt out of NFL season due to coronavirus pandemic By Barry Wilner Associated Press A total of 66 players have opted out of the 2020 NFL season due to the coronavirus pandemic, nearly half of them linemen. Twenty offensive linemen and 11 on defense opted out before Thursday’s deadline. Players with a medical opt out will receive a $350,000 stipend, while those voluntarily opting out receive $150,000 as an advance against future salaries. No team has come close to New England in losing players for the upcoming season, which begins Sept. 10 with Houston at Super Bowl champion Kansas City. The Patriots, already minus several stars who left in free agency — including, of course, Tom Brady to Tampa Bay — saw eight opt outs: running back Brandon Bolden, offensive tackle Marcus Cannon, safety Patrick Chung, linebacker Dont’a Hightower, tight end Matt LaCosse, wide receiver Marqise Lee, offensive lineman Najee Toran and fullback Dan Vitale. Hightower, Cannon and Chung were key contributors in recent seasons. Cleveland was next with ﬁve players skipping the season: defensive tackle Andrew Billings, tackle Drake Dorbeck and guards Drew Forbes, Colby Gossett and Malcolm Pridgeon. Only three teams had no one opting out: the Steelers, Falcons and Chargers. “Those are not easy decisions to make as a player, especially when you love the game,” said Broncos safety Justin Simmons, who will play this season. “But family will always come ﬁrst. And I’ve had a lot of difﬁcult conversations with my wife and, yeah, it’s not ever going to be easy.

The Blue Devils ﬁnished 19 shots back of the eventual winning tally after recording a team score of 353. Laith Hamid paced GAHS with an 81, with Cooper Davis and Hunter Cook respectively following with an 86 and a 90. William Hendrickson completed the team tally with a 96, while Cody Bowman also shot a round of 110 for the Blue and White. Wheelersburg won the team title with a 334, ﬁnishing 10 shots ahead of the entire ﬁeld. Chesapeake edged out Manchester for second place with a tiebreaker as both squads ﬁred identical scores of 344. Teays Valley (347), Fairland (349) and West Union (351) claimed the four through six spots ahead of Gallia Academy. North Adams (359), Belpre (376) and Peebles (377) rounded out the top 10 positions. Trevin Mault of Wheelersburg won medalist honors with a 1-under par round of 71. Daulton McDonald of Manchester was the overall runnerup with a 74. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

A centennial plaza is due to be completed in September, including an area dedicated to everyone who has played pro football. With COVID-19 forcing cancellation of so many events around the Hall of Fame — not just the usual August inductions but a special centennial class enshrinement next month, plus the Black College Hall of Fame Football Classic and the Division III national title game, all at the recently upgraded Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium — the prospect for getting the village going could have been bleak. An estimated 200,000 young athletes travel to Canton for youth sports activities, bringing along family and friends, too. All of that is lost in 2020. Yet, the optimism about the village remains. Ed Roth, president/ CEO of Aultman Health Foundation, and a Pro Football Hall of Fame board member, points to the uplifting atmosphere at the core of the project. “It is that opportunity to take what is really the crown jewel of our community, and the importance of it to the NFL, and really the importance of football to our country — it is a big deal,” Roth says. “A lot of people enjoy the game and we want to take the opportunity to share the things around the game, whether it is the game itself, or the Hall of Fame. We get a new class every year. We want people who were here 10 years ago to have every reason to come back now. With their kids and grandkids, and see a lot of new things around the Hall of Fame, then go home and tell family and friends about it. “Think of the energy you can create when you have a lot of different outlets: Hall of Fame game, museum, concerts, a water park, and national youth sports complex.” NFL team owners have approved a $10 million investment into the village. “At the point when we begin construction,” Crawford notes, “we expect their investment will come in.

He’ll start this season as one of the Heisman favorites. Fields said he hasn’t considered opting out of what likely will be his ﬁnal season before entering the NFL draft in the spring, even with the risk associated with playing this fall. “I don’t have any concerns about what’s going on here at Ohio State necessarily,” he said. “My only concerns that pop up in my head are what are they doing at other schools? I think one of the biggest concerns going around with the team is, what happens when all of the students come back to campus and students aren’t really worried about it, they’re doing what they usually do if the pandemic wasn’t going on? I think there are a lot of things in this situation that we can’t control.” Along with Fields and Cooper, the team this week elected as captains linebackers Justin Hilliard and Tuf Borland, cornerback Shaun Wade and offensive linemen Wyatt Davis and Josh Myers. Hilliard said it must be impressed upon all players that the way they behave and follow protocols could mean the difference between whether the season is played or not. “That’s a new addition, you know responsibility that we as leaders have to keep track of,” he said. “I think it’s important, especially now, as students will start coming back to let people know that we can’t have that normal lifestyle. “Especially some of the younger guys, it’s not fair to them because they just got to college,” he said. “It’s going to be tough for them to be locked away but they have to understand — we have to help them understand and hold them accountable — that we can’t live that same lifestyle we usually do in order to have a safe season.

There were no quarterbacks, kickers or punters opting out. Should a player decide to walk away after Thursday’s deadline because of a changed medical circumstance, he would get a stipend — unless he already exceeded the value of the stipend in the time he was active. Otherwise, there will be no ﬁnancial compensation for voluntary future opt outs. There also are salary cap relief machinations attached to opt outs. Contract bonus payments due to be applied to the cap in 2020 will be delayed a year even though the bonus has been paid. Denver’s Simmons saw two teammates, Von Miller and Kareem Jackson, contract COVID-19. Both are back and planning to play, which aided Simmons in deciding not to opt out. “Speaking just in my family, my wife is the one that’s the most nervous,” he said, “and we understand everything going on with numbers and statistics. But just having conversations with guys like Kareem and Von, people that have had it and had to endure that and work through it. It’s a scary time. And the reality is this is affecting a lot of families. “And so, my wife and I have had really difﬁcult conversations about opting out and what the season’s going to look like. And do you really think measures are being taken that you guys are being cared for in the best way possible? And obviously I haven’t seen a lot of the places around the NFL, but just being here you can really see the effort in the Denver facilities to make sure that we’re doing everything we can to make sure we can play football in a safe manner.” ers in every level he’s been at, and he’s quickly emerging as one of the best players in this league.” He’s not alone in making that kind of impression. Hughes leads the Canucks in scoring after three games and might have taken his play up another notch after being a ﬁnalist for rookie of year honors in the regular season. “I don’t think you can put a price on experience, and I think this is really big for all the young guys here,” Hughes said. “I’m trying to stay pretty level headed no matter what happens, and I think I’ve done a good job of that so far.” Born almost eight months after Dach, Toronto’s Nick Robertson is the youngest player in the playoffs and scored a goal in his third opportunity. Coach Sheldon Keefe ﬁgured playing in empty arenas with no fans would beneﬁt Robertson, but the 18-year-old from Pasadena, California, looks comfortable in any situation. “My conﬁdence level’s obviously getting higher and higher each day,” Robertson said. Conﬁdence is the common denominator between point-producers like Dach and Svechnikov and players like Philadelphia’s Joel Farabee and Arizona’s Barrett Hayton who are looking to make a difference. Getting ice time gives them that chance. “As a player it’s a welcoming challenge,” Dach said. “You want to be put in those situations and succeed in them.” Judge: U-Mich. must tell alumni about abuse lawsuits ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A judge has ordered the University of Michigan to inform alumni about a class-action lawsuit against the school over sexual abuse by a longtime campus doctor. U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts intervened after lawyers argued that the university shouldn’t be communicating with people who could become plaintiffs in the case. The school had sent letters to more than 300,000 former students seeking information that could help an investigation being conducted by the WilmerHale law ﬁrm. Dr. Robert Anderson, who died in 2008, worked at Michigan from the mid-1960s through 2003. The university believes he assaulted athletes, especially males, during routine physicals and injury exams. The university must follow up and tell people that participation with WilmerHale is voluntary and that lawsuits are pending in federal court in Detroit. Roberts said WilmerHale can’t share any work with a separate team of lawyers that is defending the university. “If you are not already represented by counsel in connection with one of those cases, you may wish to consult your own legal counsel regarding your rights, or you may wish to contact any of the lawyers who are representing the existing claimants,” the new letter to alumni states. Roberts also lifted a suspension of the WilmerHale investigation. The university has expressed a willingness to compensate victims outside court with the help of a mediator. But at the same time the school is seeking to have lawsuits dismissed because too many years have passed. While Steelers remain united, Tomlin warily eyes 2020 PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are united heading into the 2020 season. Yet even with every member of his team opting to play this fall, that doesn’t mean Mike Tomlin is certain his club — or the NFL at large — will be able to navigate without any complications the next ﬁve months in the middle of a pandemic. Asked on Thursday about his conﬁdence level in the league avoiding what’s happened to Major League Baseball — which now has enacted stricter measures designed to stem the spread of COVID-19 — the NFL’s third-longest tenured head coach offered a blunt assessment. “I don’t know that I’m extremely conﬁdent,” Tomlin said. “I respect the challenges that these circumstances have presented to other leagues, some of which we’re witnessing. I think we’re all proceeding with caution and working extremely hard not to become part of that. … We’re working our tails off to adhere to it and hoping that is enough, coupled with, obviously, personal decision making that needs to be exhibited continually by our guys throughout the course of this.” Tomlin is hoping to lead by example. The coach who has regularly espoused the sanctity of training camp at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania is getting creative in dealing with the safety guidelines set out by the NFL. On Thursday, that included holding a team meeting where he addressed the veterans in person as rookies and assistant coaches watched remotely while scattered about Heinz Field. Yeah, it’s weird. But as Tomlin is quick to point out, it’s weird for everyone, not just the Steelers. His message to his team during the Rick McDaniel shutdown that forced the NFL to turn all of its normal offseason activities virtual has been “control what you can control.” That included making sure they took care of their bodies in the interim. The early returns have been promising. “We acknowledged that (arriving out of shape) was the JELL-O that we couldn’t get back in the box, if you will … because it takes 12 weeks to have any real metabolic changes,” Tomlin said. “We’re all aware of that. That created the anxiety of working remotely in the offseason. So far, so good.” P.O.

Daily Sentinel Last-ditch virus aid talks collapse By Andrew Taylor Associated Press WASHINGTON — A last-ditch effort by Democrats to revive collapsing Capitol Hill talks on vital COVID-19 rescue money ended in disappointment on Friday, making it increasingly likely that Washington gridlock will mean more hardship for millions of people who are losing enhanced jobless beneﬁts and further damage for an economy pummeled by the still-raging coronavirus. “It was a disappointing meeting,” declared top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, saying the White House had rejected an offer by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to curb Democratic demands by about $1 trillion. He urged the White House to “negotiate with Democrats and meet us in the middle. Don’t say it’s your way or no way.” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said, “Unfortunately we did not make any progress today.” With the collapse of the talks, he said President Donald Trump was now likely to issue executive orders on home evictions and on student loan debt. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said, “This is not a perfect answer -- we’ll be the ﬁrst ones to say that -- but it is all that we can do, and all the president can do within the conﬁnes of his executive power.” Friday’s session followed a combative meeting on Thursday Andrew Harnik | AP A statue of President George Washington is visible as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of California, center right, and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, of New York, center left, step away from reporters after meeting with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadow on a coronavirus relief package on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday. Later the talks ended with no agreement. that, for the ﬁrst time cast real doubt on the ability of the Trump administration and Democrats on Capitol Hill to come together on a ﬁfth COVID-19 response bill. Pelosi summoned Mnuchin and Meadows in hopes of breathing life into the negotiations, which have been characterized by frustration and intransigence on both sides. A breakdown in the talks would put 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. In a news conference on Friday Pelosi said she offered a major concession to Republicans. “We’ll go down $1 trillion, you go up $1 trillion,” Pelosi said. The ﬁgures are approximate, but a Pelosi spokesman said the speaker is in general terms seeking a “top line” of perhaps $2.4 trillion since the House-passed HEROES Act is scored at $3.45 trillion. Republicans say their starting offer was about $1 trillion but have offered some concessions on jobless beneﬁts and aid to states, among others, that have brought the White House offer higher. Mnuchin said that renewal of a $600 perweek pandemic jobless boost and huge demands by Democrats for aid to state and local governments are the key areas where they are stuck. “There’s a lot of areas of compromise,” he said after Friday’s meeting. “I think if we can reach an agreement on state and local and unemployment, we will reach an overall deal. And if we can’t we can’t.” Pelosi declared the talks all but dead until Meadows and Mnuchin give ground. “I’ve told them ‘come back when you are ready to give us a higher number,’” she said. Democrats have offered to reduce her almost $1 trillion demand for state and local governments considerably, but some of Pelosi’s proposed cost savings would accrue chieﬂy because she would shorten the timeframe for beneﬁts like food stamps. Pelosi and Schumer continue to insist on a huge aid package to address a surge in cases and deaths, double-digit joblessness and the threat of poverty for millions of the newly unemployed. On Friday, they pointed to the new July jobs report to try to bolster their proposals. The report showed that the U.S. added 1.8 million jobs last month, a much lower increase than in May and June. “It’s clear the economy is losing steam,” Schumer said. “That means we need big, bold investments in America to help average folks.” Senate Republicans have been split, with roughly half of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s rank and ﬁle opposed to another rescue bill at all. Four prior coronavirus response bills totaling almost $3 trillion have won approval on bipartisan votes despite intense wrangling, but conservatives have recoiled at the prospect of another Pelosi-brokered agreement with a whopping deﬁcit-ﬁnanced cost. McConnell has sent the Senate home rather than forcing impatient senators to bide their time while Democrats play hardball. That suggests a vote won’t come until late next week, if then.
