Updates provided on Extension programs By Lorna Hart Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — While the physical ofﬁces of The Ohio State Extension program are closed around the state, Extension members are still on the job, developing new ways to connect with their communities. Meigs County Extension Ofﬁce Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator and Area Leader Michelle Stumbo said she and her colleges have been busy since the March 18 shutdown, and that resources are still avail- able to the community. Stumbo said she is working on ways to offer classes and programs that were scheduled before the COVID-19 restrictions began. A very important class for area farmers is the Pesticide Applicator Training for those with certiﬁcations from the Ohio Department of Agriculture. With the March session canceled, the program is now being offered on a one-on-one basis, or in a small class session this fall for those who need class hours. COVID-19 Update: Increase in cases in younger populations Governor provides update on virus in Ohio COLUMBUS — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted, Tuesday afternoon, provided the following updates on the status of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ohio. Return to school Governor DeWine continued to stress the importance of masks, social distancing, and proper hygiene as Ohio’s school students approach the start of the upcoming school year. “I have every conﬁdence that Ohio’s schools will do everything they can to keep children safe, but any spread happening in the broader community will, without a doubt, be reﬂected in Ohio’s classrooms,” said Governor DeWine. “If we want our kids to go to school in person, to play sports, to be in extracurricular activities - it’s up to all of us to cut down the spread in our communities.” Currently, Ohio has left the decision to individual school districts on how to approach the new school year. According to information gathered by the Ohio Department of Education, 325 public school districts in Ohio are planning to return to school full-time which equates to approximately 590,000 students. A total of 55 districts representing approximately 398,000 public school students will begin the school year remotely. Approximately 380,000 students in 154 public school districts will start the school year with a hybrid AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Increase in cases in younger populations Governor DeWine shared updated data on the percentage of cases in Ohio by age group. The data shows a signiﬁcant increase in positive cases among younger adults over the summer, particularly in the age range of 20-29.

Kamala Harris as running mate By Kathleen Ronayne and Will Weissert Associated Press WILMINGTON, Del. — Joe Biden named California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate on Tuesday, making history by selecting the ﬁrst Black woman to compete on a major party’s presidential ticket and acknowledging the vital role Black voters will play in his bid to defeat President Donald Trump. “I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @ KamalaHarris — a fearless ﬁghter for the little guy, and one of the country’s ﬁnest public servants — as my running mate,” Biden tweeted. In a text message to supporters, Biden said, “Together, with you, we’re going to beat Trump” Harris and Biden plan to deliver remarks Wednesday in Wilmington. In choosing Harris, Biden is embracing a former rival from the Democratic primary who is familiar with the unique rigor of a national campaign. Harris, a 55-year-old ﬁrst-term senator, is also one of the party’s most prominent ﬁgures and quickly became a top contender for the No. 2 spot after her own White House campaign ended. Harris joins Biden in the 2020 race at a moment of unprecedented national crisis. The coronavirus pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 150,000 people in the U.S., far more than the toll experienced in other countries. Business closures and disruptions resulting from the pandemic have caused an economic collapse. Unrest, meanwhile, has emerged across the country as Americans protest racism and police brutality. Trump’s uneven handling of the crises has given Biden an opening, and he enters the fall campaign in strong position against the president. In adding Harris to the ticket, he can point to her relatively centrist record on issues such as health care and her background in law enforcement in the nation’s largest state. COVID-19 Health officials quitting, getting fired By Michelle R. Smith and Lauren Weber Associated Press and KHN PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Viliﬁed, threatened with violence and in some cases suffering from burnout, dozens of state and local public health leaders around the U.S. have resigned or have been ﬁred amid the coronavirus outbreak, a testament to how politically combustible masks, lockdowns and infection data have become. One of the latest departures came Sunday, when California’s public health director, Dr. Sonia Angell, was ousted following a technical glitch that caused a delay in reporting hundreds of thousands of virus test results — information used to make decisions about reopening businesses and schools. Last week, New York City’s health commissioner was replaced after months of friction with the Police Department and City Hall. A review by the Kaiser Health News service and The Associated Press ﬁnds at least 49 state and local public health leaders have resigned, retired or been ﬁred since April across 23 states. The list has grown by more than 20 people since the AP and KHN started keeping track in June. Dr. Tom Frieden, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called the numbers stunning. He said they reﬂect burnout, as well as attacks on public health experts and institutions from the highest levels of government, including from President Donald Trump, who has sidelined the CDC during the pandemic. “The overall tone toward public health in the U.S. is so hostile that it has kind of emboldened people to make these attacks,” Frieden said. The last few months have been “frustrating and tiring and disheartening” for public health ofﬁcials, said former West Virginia Public Health Commissioner Dr. Cathy Slemp, who was forced to resign by Republican Gov. Jim Justice in June. “You care about community, and you’re committed to reported one additional conﬁrmed case of COVID-19 on Tuesday, a female in the 40-49 age From page 1 range.

As a family medicine provider, patients can now establish medical care with me. I’m truly looking forward to working alongside the excellent physicians in our practice and assisting our patients in their healthcare journey,” Potter said. “We are delighted to have Lou join our team of physicians at Pleasant Valley Hospital’s Regional Health Center,” Jeff Noblin, CEO of PVH, said. “Lou brings 17 years Wednesday, August 12, 2020 3 the work you do and societal role that you’re given. You feel a duty to serve, and yet it’s really hard in the current environment,” Slemp said in an interview Monday. The departures come at a time when public health expertise is needed more than ever, said Lori Tremmel Freeman, CEO of the National Association of County and City Health Ofﬁcials. “We’re moving at breakneck speed here to stop a pandemic, and you can’t afford to hit the pause button and say, ‘We’re going to change the leadership around here and we’ll get back to you after we hire somebody,’” Freeman said. As of late Monday, conﬁrmed infections in the United States stood at over 5 million, with deaths topping 163,000, the highest in the world, according to the count kept by Johns Hopkins University. The conﬁrmed number of coronavirus cases in the world topped 20 million with about 734,000 deaths. Many of the ﬁrings and resignations have to do with conﬂicts over mask orders or social distancing shutdowns, Freeman said. Despite the scientiﬁc evidence, many politicians and others have argued that such measures are not needed, no matter what health experts tell them. “It’s not a health divide; it’s a political divide,” Freeman said. Some health ofﬁcials said they were stepping down for family reasons, and some left for jobs at other agencies, such as the CDC. Some, like Angell, were ousted because of what higher-ups said was poor leadership or a failure to do their job. Others have complained that they were overworked, underpaid, unappreciated or thrust into a pressure-cooker environment. “To me, a lot of the divisiveness and the stress and the resignations that are happening right and left are the consequence of the lack of a real national response plan,” said Dr. Matt Willis, health ofﬁcer for Marin County in Northern California. “And we’re all left scrambling at the local and state level to extract 60-69 — 7 cases (1 hospitalization) 70-79 — 5 cases 80-89 — 7 cases (1 new hospitalization, 2 total hospitalizations) 90-99 — 1 case Twenty-nine individuals in Meigs County have recovered from COVID-19, with 28 cases considered to be active as of Tuesday. There have been three positive antibody tests. Antibody tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which may tell you if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Gallia County As of Tuesday afternoon, the Gallia County Health Department has reported a total of 70 cases.

She upholds the highest standards of patient care and professionalism and is a huge proponent of providing convenient, same-day access for ofﬁce visits.

She has experience in pediatrics, family medicine, and urgent care. Potter provides walk-in visits, as resources and improvise solutions … in a fractured health care system, in an under-resourced public health system.” Public health leaders from Dr. Anthony Fauci down to ofﬁcials in small communities have reported death threats and intimidation. Some have seen their home addresses published or been the subject of sexist attacks on social media. Fauci has said his wife and daughters have received threats. In Ohio, the state’s health director, Dr. Amy Acton, resigned in June after months of pressure during which Republican lawmakers tried to strip her of her authority and armed protesters showed up at her house. It was on Acton’s advice that GOP Gov. Mike DeWine became the ﬁrst governor to shut down schools statewide. Acton also called off the state’s presidential primary in March just hours before polls were to open, angering those who saw it as an overreaction. The executive director of Las Animas-Huerfano Counties District Health Department in Colorado found her car vandalized twice, and a group called Colorado Counties for Freedom ran a radio ad demanding that her authority be reduced. Kim Gonzales has remained on the job. In West Virginia, the governor forced Slemp’s resignation over what he said were discrepancies in the data. Slemp said the department’s work had been hurt by outdated technology like fax machines and slow computer networks. Tom Inglesby, director of the Center for Health Security at Johns Hopkins, said the issue amounted to a clerical error easily ﬁxed. Inglesby said it was deeply concerning that public health ofﬁcials who told “uncomfortable truths” to political leaders had been removed. “That’s terrible for the national response because what we need for getting through this, ﬁrst of all, is the truth. We need data, and we need people to interpret health department, are as follows: 0-19 — 9 cases 20-29 — 6 cases (1 new, 1 hospitalization) 30-39 — 9 cases 40-49 — 13 cases (4 new) 50-59 — 13 cases (1 new, 3 hospitalizations) 60-69 — 5 cases (1 new, 1 new hospitalizations, 3 total hospitalizations, 1 death) 70-79 — 10 cases (1 new hospitalization, 3 total hospitalizations) 80-89 — 2 cases (1 hospitalization) 90-99 — 3 cases (2 hospitalizations) Of the 70 cases, 45 of the individuals are listed as recovered with 24 of the cases active.

At least 38,000 state and local public health jobs have disappeared since the 2008 recession, leaving a skeletal workforce for what was once viewed as one of the world’s top public health systems. Another sudden departure came Monday along the Texas border. Dr. Jose Vazquez, the Starr County health authority, resigned after a proposal to increase his pay from $500 to $10,000 a month was rejected by county commissioners. Starr County Judge Eloy Vera said Vazquez had been working 60 hours per week in the county, one of the poorest in the U.S. and recently one of those hit hardest by the virus. “He felt it was an insult,” Vera said. In Oklahoma, both the state health commissioner and state epidemiologist have been replaced since the outbreak began in March. In rural Colorado, Emily Brown was ﬁred in late May as director of the Rio Grande County Public Health Department after clashing with county commissioners over reopening recommendations. The person who replaced her resigned July 9. Brown said she knows many public health department leaders who are considering resigning or retiring because of the strain. The months of nonstop and often unappreciated work are prompting many public health workers to leave, said Theresa Anselmo of the Colorado Association of Local Public Health Ofﬁcials. “It will certainly slow down the pandemic response and become less coordinated,” she said. “Who’s going to want to take on this career if you’re confronted with the kinds of political issues that are coming up?” update on Tuesday, the Ohio Department of Health reported a total of 1,095 new cases, below the 21-day average of 1,220.

(AP) — The race in the Western Conference for two play-in game spots will go down to the wire. And the difference could be razor close — just about the slimmest possible. A season like none other in NBA history may get a ﬁnish like none other, at least in the West. An analysis by The Associated Press shows there is a scenario where the ﬁnal difference between teams in the play-in race could be less than 0.001% — yes, less than one thousandth of a percent. Memphis, Portland, San Antonio and Phoenix — the still-unbeatenin-the-bubble, 6-0 at Disney Suns — are the last four teams standing in the race for the last West spot. The margin between the eighth-place Grizzlies and 11th-place Spurs, entering Tuesday, is just one game, and all four clubs have two games remaining. All four teams play Tuesday. If Memphis and Portland both win, and Phoenix and San Antonio both lose, the race is over and the Grizzlies and Blazers clinch spots. Otherwise, the race goes to Thursday, when it’ll have to be known who the two clubs are that will be headed to the best-of-two play-in series. The ninth-place ﬁnisher will have to beat the eighth-place ﬁnisher twice to advance. That series starts Saturday on ABC. Game 2, if necessary, is Sunday on ESPN. And by then, ﬁnally, someone will be able to start preparing for a West ﬁrst-round series against the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. The super-close scenarios are mind-blowing. Try this: Should Phoenix and San Antonio both win their ﬁnal two games, it would see the Suns ﬁnish ahead of the Spurs by 0.00096 percentage points. Memphis and Phoenix also could ﬁnish with identical records, though then it gets easy — the Grizzlies won the season series and hold the tiebreaker. A look at the ﬁeld: Memphis Record entering Tuesday: 33-38, 8th in the West Remaining games: Boston on Tuesday, Milwaukee on Thursday Outlook: Not only do the Grizzlies control their own destiny, but they catch the bonus of their last two opponents having absolutely nothing at stake. Boston is locked into the No. 3 seed in the East, Milwaukee the No. 1 seed. For Memphis, the math is very simple. If the Grizzlies win one game, they clinch no worse than a play-in spot. Win two, they’ll ﬁnish eighth and hold the upper hand in the play-in series. But if they go 0-2, the door opens for others. Portland Record entering Tuesday: 33-39, 9th in the West Remaining games: Dallas on Tuesday, Brooklyn on Thursday Outlook: Getting Dallas on the second half of the Mavericks’ back-toback Tuesday isn’t the greatest news, especially since the Mavs can still get to the No. 6 seed and Luka Doncic — who didn’t play Monday — sounds as if he could play Tuesday. The Nets are locked into the No. 7 spot in the East, meaning they’ll face defending champion Toronto in the ﬁrst round. A 2-0 ﬁnish would assure Portland a spot; a 1-1 ﬁnish means the Blazers would need some help. And Portland could go 0-2 in its ﬁnal games and still get in, but San Antonio and Phoenix would have to both go 0-2 as well for that to happen. Phoenix Record entering Tuesday: 32-39, 10th in the West See WEST | 9 Blue Angels come in 5th at Crown Hill By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest. com WILLIAMSPORT, Ohio — At least they were consistent. Seven strokes separated all six Gallia Academy girls golfers on Monday at the 2020 Westfall Invitational held at Crown Hill Golf Course in Pickaway County. The Blue Angels ﬁnished ﬁfth out of eight teams with a ﬁnal tally of 195, which was 15 shots off the pace set by Teays Valley (180). Westfall was the overall runner-up with a 183, while Warren and Logan rounded out the top four spots with respective efforts of 191 and 194. Miami Trace (195), Madison Plains (234) and Logan Elm (243) completed the ﬁeld. Abby Hammons paced GAHS with a 9-hole round of 48, fol- lowed by Maddi Meadows, Avery Minton and Kylee Cook with identical rounds of 49 to complete the team scoring. Emma Hammons and Addy Burke also posted scores of 50 and 55, respectively, for the Blue Angels. Maddi Shoults of Westfall claimed medalist honors with a 3-under par round of 33.

Visiting Federal Hocking recorded three of the top four individual scores and rolled to a 15 stroke victory over Meigs on Monday during a non-conference dual at Meigs Golf Course. The host Marauders posted a ﬁnal team score of 194, while the Lancers had the top two individual rounds en route to a winning tally of 179.

A former longtime executive in the NFL, Warren walked into an unprecedented problem for college sports. During an interview on the Big Ten Network, Warren was pressed on whether the decision was unanimous across the conferences and if Big Ten teams could still try to play a fall season, as some coaches suggested Monday. Warren declined to answer. “We are very disappointed in the decision by the Big Ten Conference to postpone the fall football season, as we have been and continue to be ready to play,” University of Nebraska leadership said in a statement. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said the Buckeyes would have preferred to play. “I wish we would have had a little more time to evaluate,” Smith told the Big Ten Network. Over the last month, conferences have been reworking schedules in the hopes of being able to buy some time and play a season. The Big Ten was the ﬁrst to go to conference-only play, doing it in early July. The Pac-12 followed two days later and eventually all the Power Five conferences switched to either all or mostly conference play. The ﬁrst Football Bowl Subdivision conference to pull the plug on a fall season was the MidAmerican Conference on Saturday, and then the Mountain West did the same on Monday. But those conferences don’t have the revenue, reach and history of the Big Ten, which seemed positioned to pour resources into trying to protect its athletes from getting and spreading COVID-19. The Big Ten touts itself as the oldest college athletic conference in the country, dating back to 1896 when it was called the Western Conference, and its schools have been playing football ever since. It became the Big Ten in 1918 and grew into a football powerhouse. The 14 Big Ten schools span from Maryland and Rutgers on the East Coast to Iowa and Nebraska out west. Not only has it been one of the most successful conferences on the ﬁeld, but off the ﬁeld it has become one of the wealthiest. �SPORTS Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, August 12, 2020 9 MLB average salary under $1.3M NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball’s eye-popping salaries took an astonishing dive during the coronavirus pandemic to their lowest level in nearly a quarter-century, according to a study by The Associated Press. Washington pitcher Max Scherzer topped the shortened season’s list at $17.8 million, his income partially protected by a huge signing bonus. That is the lowest amount for baseball’s highest-paid player since Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kevin Brown made $15.7 million in 2000. Players receive about 37% of their 2020 pay under the formula agreed to in March by MLB and the union, a ﬁgure the union wound up keeping during bitter negotiations that failed to produce an agreement. Commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally announced a 60-game regular-season schedule that started four months late on July 23, down from the normal 162 games for each team. Salaries averaged $1,295,942 on expanded opening-day rosters after prorated pay was factored in, according to the AP study. That must feel like a throwback paycheck, similar to a vintage jersey — it’s the lowest average in the AP’s annual opening-day study since $1,176,967 in 1996 and down from $4,375,486 at the start of the 2019 season. Unhappy with ﬂattening salaries during the ﬁrst four years of a collective bargaining agreement that runs to December 2021, players spoke even before the curtailed season of seeking large changes. Talks ﬁgure to be the most contentious since the 1994-95 strike, the last shortened seasons before this one. Even with contracts at full value and projected for 25-man active rosters, this year’s average of $4,520,010 would have represented just a 3.1% increase over 2016’s $4,381,980. Part of the drop in the average was caused by roster expansion to an active limit of 30 per team at the season’s start, adding more major leaguers making the $563,500 minimum or close to it. There were 1,007 players on opening-day rosters and injured lists, up from 878 last year. Scherzer’s $210 million, sevenyear contract includes a $50 million signing bonus — baseball signing bonuses are distinct from salaries and not subject to reduction. His $35 million salary, which is entirely deferred, was sliced to $12.96 million. MLB’s initial proposal in late May would have cut the highestpaid stars the most, and Scherzer’s 2020 salary would have been reduced to about $4.85 million. The union fought to keep the prorated pay called for in the March deal, while MLB argued it needed additional cuts to play in empty ballparks. As a result, MLB called for the shortest schedule since 1878. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw was second on the opening day list at $16.3 million, boosted by a $23 million signing bonus. Los Angeles Angels outﬁelder Mike Trout was third at $15.8 million, followed by San Diego shortstop Manny Machado ($15.1 million), Houston pitcher Zack Greinke ($14.1 million), New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole ($13.3 million), Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado ($12.96 million), Houston second baseman José Altuve ($12.63 million), Astros pitcher Justin Verlander ($12 million) and Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg ($11.7 million). Each player’s ﬁgure includes his adjusted 2020 salary plus a prorated share of his signing bonus. For players such as Scherzer, parts of salaries deferred without interest are discounted to present-day value. The player pool includes Minnesota pitcher Michael Pineda, who has a guaranteed contract and started the season on the restricted list while completing a suspension for a banned diuretic. Before the pandemic, Trout was set to top the 2020 list at $38.5 million, followed by Cole ($36 million), Scherzer ($35.9 million), Arenado ($35 million), Machado ($34 million), Verlander ($33 million), Greinke ($32.9 million), Dodgers pitcher David Price ($32 million), Strasburg ($31.6 million) and Kershaw ($31 million). This year’s average would rise to $1,610,087 if the lowest-twopaid players on each team were dropped and $1,704,810 if the lowest four were left off, which would leave team with the originally intended active limit of 26. By cutting another player and getting down to the old active limit of 25, the average would rise to $1,757,121. Indians’ Clevinger flew with team after violation CLEVELAND (AP) — Mike Clevinger’s free spirit may have put the Cleveland Indians at risk. Clevinger ﬂew home with his teammates Sunday despite knowing he had broken the club’s COVID-19 protocols by going out in Chicago with righthander Zach Plesac during Cleveland’s weekend trip, according to a person familiar with the situation. Clevinger did not admit that he had violated the rules during a team meeting Sunday to discuss Plesac being sent home by the team, said the person who spoke Monday night to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. The Indians said Clevinger, who can be outspokpen and outlandish, will be quarantined and tested and will not make his scheduled start Tuesday night at home against the Cubs. It’s not yet known if Clevinger and Pleasac have been tested since their violations were reported. They will have to twice test negative in 72 hours before they’ll be allowed to rejoin in any team activities. The Indians arranged a car service to take Plesac back to Cleveland so he wouldn’t be around his teammates in case he had contracted the coronavirus while out with friends on Saturday after he getting his ﬁrst win this season with six strong innings against the White Sox. Clevinger not only didn’t acknowledge his misstep to the club, but he then took the team ﬂight despite knowing he was putting his teammates and staff at risk. One of those teammates is fellow starter Carlos Carrasco, who could have a compromised immune system after being treated for leukemia last year. Clevinger and Plesac are being counted on as part of a strong Cleveland pitching staff that has carried the club through 17 games. Safe at home? Blue Jays end nomadic journey in Buffalo The signage is familiar. And well, really, that’s about it. But hey, it beats nothing. Or, to be more precise for the Toronto Blue Jays, it beats seeing their name on the bottom of a scoreboard in a visiting stadium for a game that is “home” in name only. Baseball’s nomads will walk onto the ﬁeld at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York, on Tuesday night as the host team for the ﬁrst time in 2020. Canada’s government wouldn’t let the Blue Jays hold games at Rogers Centre in Toronto, fearful of outside entities coming into the city amid a pandemic. Pittsburgh offered to let the Blue Jays play at PNC Park when the Pirates were on the road, but Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf wouldn’t sign off on it. That left Buffalo, which last hosted a regular-season Major League Baseball game in 1915 when the Buffalo Blues ﬁnished sixth in the eight-team Federalist League. The wait hasn’t been quite as long for the Blue Jays. Toronto spent the ﬁrst two-plus weeks bouncing from Tampa to Washington to Atlanta to Boston waiting for preparations at 16,600-seat Sahlen Field (all but a few of which will be empty) to be complete. Yes, it’s going to take some getting used to, no matter how many times the familiar Blue Jays logo is splashed on everything from bathroom sinks to elevator doors to dugouts. Instead of a Marriott situated over the right-center ﬁeld fence, Ellicott Square — which served as the backdrop for all the hotel scenes in the 1984 classic ﬁlm “The Natural” — sits across the street. “We haven’t played in Buffalo, so it’s still a road trip it feels like,” said Toronto manager Charlie Montoyo, whose team WEDNESDAY EVENING West day: 31-38, 11th in the West Remaining games: Houston on Tuesday, From page 8 Utah on Thursday Outlook: There is a Remaining games: Philadelphia on Tuesday, way for San Antonio to get to the No. 8 seed Dallas on Thursday Outlook: The Suns are with a 2-0 ﬁnish, and there’s also a way for the the story of the bubble, Spurs to miss the play-in 6-0 at Disney so far — series entirely — also but even 8-0 might not guarantee them a spot in with a 2-0 ﬁnish.
