Today, she is indeed, “hanging out with Jesus.” She loved her family and friends, and never knew a stranger.

They moved from Meigs County, where Maxine was a professional photographer with her own shop in the city of Pomeroy, to West Jefferson, and eventually into the city of Columbus. She is preceded in death by brothers Bob and Paul Hawk as well as sisters Dorothy Hawk and Norma Hawthorne. She is survived by her sister Betty (“Bub”) Stivers.

The system was developed to provide local health departments, community leaders, and the public with data and information on the severity of the COVID-19 spread in the counties in which they live. The system consists of four levels with speciﬁc risk-level guidelines. Each level is calculated with data gathered on seven public health indicators. Improving minority health Governor DeWine released the ﬁnal Minority Health Strike Force report and the state’s executive response. The Minority Health Strike Force was formed in April to examine the disproportionate impact of the coronavirus on minority communities, as well as broader health disparities and racial injustices. Currently, African Americans represent 14 percent of Ohio’s population but are 24 percent of positive COVID-19 cases, 32 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations, and 19 percent of COVID-19 deaths in Ohio. Similarly, at least 6 percent of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 in Ohio are Latino, despite only representing 3.9 percent of Ohio’s population. The COVID-19 Minority Health Strike Force Blueprint lists 34 recommendations on dismantling racism, removing public health obstacles, improving the social/economic and physical environments, and strengthening data collection to better track disparities. In response to the Strike Force’s report, Governor DeWine issued Ohio’s Executive Response: A Plan of Action to Advance Equity. The action plan outlines efforts to reinforce the DeWine Administration’s commitment to advancing health equity and establishing Ohio as a model for justice, equity, opportunity, and resilience.

Even though you know you shouldn’t do it, I bet some of your dogs get “people” food sometimes. They may eat “dogfood” mostly, but sometimes may have chicken, beef, or vegetables from your supper. Your dogs may even sit by your chair and beg which isn’t a good thing to let them do, we know. The dogs hope you will give them some scraps from your supper or will drop something on the ﬂoor they can get. Our Bible story today is about a non-Jewish woman who came to Jesus to ask Him for help for her child. The conversation ends up talking about scraps of food for a dog from the dinner table. (That was weird wasn’t it?) The lesson is from Matthew of Israel – the Jew15, Verses 21-28. ish people.

This was to fulﬁll feed it to dogs.” (I found the prophesy from the Old Testament. He loved this sort a strange thing for Jesus to say, don’t all people, but His ﬁrst priority was to His own you?

Even though that his ﬁrst mission was Jesus came ﬁrst to the Jewish people, He loved to preach to the people us all so much that He shared His love with those of us who are not Jewish too. Our faith makes us believe in Jesus just like this woman did. Jesus sees our faith and grants us salvation no matter who we are or where we come from. We are sort of like the dog who begs and then thankfully takes the scraps that you give them or might fall from the table. We will also gladly and thankfully receive God’s “scraps” in our lives too. We know in our hearts that even Jesus’ scraps are more than this world could ever offer us. Let’s say a prayer together. Father God, thank You for sharing Your Son with the whole world, so that through Him we might all be saved. We know now that You love everyone and want us all to be Your children. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

The 2020 show has expanded to include three trophy divisions: Newer, 1990 and up; Vintage, 1989-1975; and Antique, up to 1974. Awards will also be given to mayor’s, ﬁreman’s, and volunteer’s choice, best motorcycle and runner-up, best interior, best original, best Ford, best GM, best Mopar, and best truck. Other attractions include, dash plaques will be given to the ﬁrst 50 entries; a motorcycle coarse will also be available; 50/50 drawing; door prizes; and music by K&D DJ service from Rutland. There were a few hurdles to this year’s show moving forward, namely COVID-19. Adjustments needed to be made to comply with COVID-19 safety requirements, and Melody Bailey of Hill’s Automotive said they worked with the Meigs County Health Department to accomplish the necessary changes. Some of the requirements are masks and social distancing for both entrants and the public. The area of the show has been expanded to allow distancing and will include the baseball ﬁeld. Cars will come into the area from 3rd Street and register on entry rather than coming into a sign in area. “We had to submit a plan to the Health Department for the Car Show,” Bailey said. “They were great to work with, and in the end we were granted permission to hold the event.” The Cruisin’ Saturday Night Car Show Planning Committee is asking for everyone’s cooperation saying, “Please bare with us, things are different for everyone, we will try to make things run as soothingly as possible and are hoping for a good show.” Cruisin’ Saturday Night Car Show is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12, with registration is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., judging from 1-4 p.m. with awards to follow. Home National Bank, Martin Senour Paints, NAPA Washington, and Hill’s Automotive Classic Car Restoration and Parts sponsor the event. Funds raised from the show will beneﬁt scholarships for next spring’s graduates. All seniors in the area school districts can apply for a scholarship by ﬁlling out an application including a letter of recommendation from an adult who has supervised them in an activity, and writing essays on two questions. The applications are reviewed and candidates selected by a committee connected to the Car Show. Weight is given to students planning to go into a mechanical science ﬁeld, but the scholarship is open to all students regardless of their future academic plans. Monies are deposited directly into the student’s college of choice account to be used for whatever the student requires in regard to their education.

Since training camps began three weeks ago, 108 players have been placed on COVID-19 reserve lists by their respective teams — according to an Associated Press review of the league’s daily transaction logs — and 81 of those players were subsequently returned to active status on the roster. There are more than 2,600 players currently employed across the 32 clubs. Landing on the COVID19 reserve list does not mean a player has the virus. The category was created for a player who either tests positive for COVID-19 or who has been quarantined after having been in close contact with an infected person or persons. By agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association, clubs are not permitted to disclose whether a player is positive for COVID-19 or simply in preventative quarantine. Wearing masks, of course, is a vital part of the equation. After leaving the testing trailer and entering the building, players and staffers must pass the temperature check. The tablet-like device won’t even perform the thermal scan if the person is not wearing a face covering. “It’s an adjustment. You used to check phone, key, wallet. Now it’s phone, key, wallet, mask, proximity locator,” Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks said. “But they explained to us the reason behind it. If someone is to get infected, heaven forbid, if we’re close to those people for a certain amount of time, those devices will allow us to quarantine effectively if that’s the case. So there’s a reason behind the madness.” Passing the symptom questionnaire and the temperature check, with the nasal swab performed in between, then takes the employee to another level of high-tech: the proximity tracker. The device, which resembles a smart watch, produces audible and visual warnings to help maximize social distancing and keep employees not required to interact with players apart from those who must. The tracker can also provide instant reports for contact tracing in case of a positive test. The devices are worn during practice See NFL | 7 Athens wins TVC Ohio golf opener By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com GLOUSTER, Ohio — The Bulldogs took a pretty big bite out of the opening competition. The Athens golf team posted a double-digit victory over the ﬁeld during the ﬁrst of seven league matches on Wednesday during the Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division opener hosted by Nelsonville-York High School at Forest Hill Golf Course in Athens County. The Bulldogs carded four of the top six individual efforts while cruising to a winning tally of 156. Alexander was the overall runner-up with a 167, while Meigs was third with a 182. Wellston claimed the four spot with a 187 and Vinton County was ﬁfth with a 193. River Valley placed sixth with a 212, while the host Buckeyes had only two competitors and did not record a team score. Ben Pratt of Athens claimed medalist honors with a 1-under par round of 35. Teammate Nathan Cradick and T.J. Vogt of Alexander shared runnerup honors with identical efforts of 38. Payton Brown paced Meigs with a 43, followed by Bailey Jones with a 44 and Landon McGee with a 47. Coen Hall and Gunnar Peavley also ﬁred matching rounds of 48. Dalton Mershon paced the Raiders with a 49, followed by Jordan Lambert with a 51 and Connor Clay with a 55. Ethan Roberts wrapped up the team tally with a 57, while Thomas Stout also posted a 64. Will Briggs led Wellston with a 43 and Isaiah Allen paced Vinton County with a 44. Jack McDonald led NYHS with a 59. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Senators lay out plan for college athletes bill of rights The Associated Press A group of senators led by Cory Booker of New Jersey and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut on Thursday released a plan for reforming college sports with an athletes bill or rights. The legislative plan calls for college athletes to have the ability to earn money for their names, images and likenesses with “minimal restrictions,” and much more. The senators also want to ensure for the athletes long-term medical coverage and treatment, enforceable medical standards, academic freedom and revenue sharing agreements. Last month, NCAA President Mark Emmert appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a hearing about name, image and likeness. Booker and Blumenthal questioned Emmert about athlete welfare and said then their plan for a bill of rights was in the works. Booker and Blumenthal were joined in a statement by seven other senators, including Democrats Chris Murphy of Connecticut, a frequent NCAA critic, and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris of California. AJ Mast, File Ohio State players celebrate the team’s 34-21 win over Wisconsin in the 2019 Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis. The Big Ten won’t play football this fall because of concerns about COVID-19, becoming the first of college sports’ power conferences to yield to the pandemic. The move announced Tuesday comes six days after the conference that includes historic programs such as Ohio State, Michigan, Nebraska and Penn State had released a revised conference-only schedule that it hoped would help it navigate a fall season with potential COVID-19 disruptions.

For all the ills of big“It’s just a way of life in time college athletics, it Associated Press Columbus, honestly. It really is. You look forward to those fall Saturdays on the banks of the Olentangy.” He talked longingly of traditions that are unique to his school, such as the band’s famed script spelling of “Ohio” during its halftime shows in the center of a nearly 103,000seat stadium known as “The Horseshoe” — capped ff by a lone member high-stepping across the ﬁeld to “Dot The I.” “It’s a part of life here, it really is,” Streeter said. Further down the college football food chain, smaller leagues have pulled the plug on their seasons as well. The sting is especially painful at historically Black colleges and universities such as North Carolina A&T, where one of the highlights of football season — really, the entire year — is a weeklong homecoming celebration that draws tens of thousands to Greensboro. “It’s been an insular community for so long, by necessity,” said Earl Hilton, the athletic director at North Carolina A&T. “These are places of retreat, places of sanctuary, places of protection. There’s a feeling that we are in a safe place where we can celebrate and enjoy and appreciate each other in ways that are genuine and authentic.” Not this year. There’s no football, no homecom- ing, no chance to watch the school’s famed band perform one of its dazzling halftime shows. “The leaves change, it gets a little cooler, and it’s just what you do on a Saturday afternoon,” mused Hilton, sadness clear in his voice. “I’m at a loss for words to describe what it’s going to be like.” For a country already in the midst of a devastating economic downturn, the loss of college football will have a crushing impact on bars, restaurants and other businesses that rely on football fans. That is especially true of college towns like Oxford, Mississippi and Clemson, South Carolina and State College, Pennsylvania. “I was talking to a restaurant owner here in Oxford who said 50 percent of his yearly proﬁt comes from college football season,” said Wilson, the Ole Miss professor. “Even if people are able to come back next year, it won’t be the same. Some of the restaurants they loved won’t be here. Some of the clothing stores, some of the bars, they won’t be here.” Oxford has a a tax base of about 25,000 residents, and the population grows closer to 60,000 when classes are in session. But on a big football weekend, the town can be swamped by nearly See FOOTBALL | 7 �SPORTS/WEATHER Ohio Valley Publishing NFL From page 6 but turned in at the end of the work day before employees depart the building. “It’s weird when someone tells you you’ve been too close for too long,” Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said, “but it’s necessary. We’re going to try to do our part for the community and make sure we can keep playing the game we love.” The bulk of the virusprooﬁng protocols are uniform across the league, with each team applying its own twists to ﬁt the facility. The Miami Dolphins installed new air puriﬁcation devices throughout their facility. The Tennessee Titans had 4-feet-long dividers placed between each player’s cubicle in the locker room, making the spaces look a little like voting booths. Vikings players can order meals via smart phone app to reduce time spent in the cafeteria. The Carolina Panthers have made clever use of Bank of America Stadium to their virus-ﬁghting advantage. All of the 80-plus players have their own temporary luxury suite at the 73,000-seat venue, expected to retreat there alone for lunch or during the down time between practices and meetings in the name of social distancing. There’s almost no end to the precautions that can be taken. Narrow hallways have become one-way paths. Couches have been removed. Even shower heads in the locker room have been taken out to increase spacing. Electric static sprayers are being used for surface disinfecting. Seating capacity in meeting rooms has been signiﬁcantly reduced. “We’re so spaced out that it can feel like you’re not all in the same room together, even more than a Zoom, even though you are sitting in the same room,” Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill said. In an intense contact Football From page 6 200,000 people. Those people spend money, lots of money. About a third of Oxford’s operating budget comes from sales taxes. “We count on those six to seven weekends a year,” Mayor Robyn Tannehill said. “There are businesses in this town that can weather a slow winter or spring because because they know football’s coming.” The SEC has already cut back on its normal 12-game schedule, hoping the league can complete that a 10-game slate of conference games. Even the games that are played will surely be in stadiums that are empty or let in only a fraction of their normal capacity.

On a football Saturday, the place is overrun with crowds that spill out the door before the game, during the game and long into the night. “Those are eight massive days a year for us,” said R.J.

What remains will be a showcase of the hard work and dedication of youth in Meigs County. Youth who participate in the Junior Fair will have the opportunity to showcase their projects in the Thompson Roush Building, although it is not required this year. Unlike past years, the opening ceremony for the fair will take place on Monday, rather than the traditional Sunday evening with the parade, opening ceremony and royalty crowning. At noon on Monday will be the Junior Fair Awards, Opening Ceremony and Royalty Crowning in the Ridenour Arena. Monday will also include the 4-H horse show at 9 a.m. at the Horse Arena.

The sale order, beginning at 10 a.m., will be as follows: market turkeys, dairy feeders, market goats, market lambs, market dairy steer, market hogs, market beef steer, market poultry, market rabbits, commercial feeders. Junior Fair Coordinator Amanda Windon-Faulk explained that in accordance with state orders, masks will be required. The area will be marked for seating to meet social distancing requirements, and the arena, including handrail and high touch areas, will be sanitized between the shows. The sale itself will be a little different as is being explained to buyers in the buyer letters sent out this week. Steps are being taken to limit contact between individuals, meaning that the Junior Fair Board will not be passing out buyer paperwork as in past years. As arena seating is limited, it is recommended that it be reserved for buyers during the sale. Those selling animals are asked not to bring buyer gifts to the sale in order to limit contact, but those The Daily Sentinel file photos items could be given to buyers at a different time after The Grand Champion Beef Feeder shown by MacKenzie Newell was purchased by Ohio Valley Plumbing and Reed and Baur Insurance for the fair. $4,400. The fair board has also lined up two butcher shops where animals can be sent for processing after the sale. Resale of animals, as has been done in past years, will not take place this year. In the past, the resale has beneﬁted the Junior Fair Scholarship. Windon-Faulk explained that this year, buyers can make a donation to the Junior Fair Scholarship directly. Items such as “bumps” to sale prices and donations can all be handled at the secretary’s trailer which will be located outside of the arena. “Our goal is to streamline the process,” said Windon-Faulk. She added that things are subject to change as additional guidelines could be released from the state before the fair takes place. Here is a look at the Grand and Reserve Champion animals and buyers from the 2019 Meigs County Fair: Livestock Sale The Grand and Reserve Champion buyers at the 2019 Meigs County Junior Fair Livestock Sale were as follows: Beef Feeder — MacKenzie Newell (Grand Champion), Reed and Baur Insurance and Ohio Valley Plumbing, $4,400; Becca Pullins (Reserve Champion), Ridenour Gas Service, $4,100.

Meigs County’s mid-March Kick-Off was termed a “great success” by OSU Extension 4-H educator Nancy Sydenstricker. She, along with volunteers from the Meigs Junior Fair Board and current 4-H members, organized the event highlighting 4-H projects and activities. Suddenly, plans were put on hold with the announcement by The Ohio State University of a shutdown, affecting all university employees. As the pandemic continued, the university canceled face to face meetings for all Extension programs. In June, Ohio 4-H made the decision to cancel all in person camps through the summer, citing “the health of our campers, staff, and volunteers is our highest priority.” So how to continue the program while keeping 4-Hers and staff safe and meeting COVID-19 guidelines set by the state was a top priority for the Extension ofﬁce. According to Sydenstricker, project books were ordered online. Meetings were held virtually through various platforms such as Zoom. Projects were worked on at home with the exception of some community service projects that could be done while still social distancing, such as making masks and ﬁlling community food pantry boxes. Online Quality Assurance classes were offered for participants with animal projects along with two Zoom meetings that the participants could attend. In person judging of the projects was discontinued and instead judged by club advisors. “COVID-19 had a great impact on how we have done things at Extension, but it has taught us that there are other options,” Sydenstricker said. “We have learned to use online platforms to reach out to our community and we continue to learn ways of helping others without direct contact.” She said that what had looked to be a The 4-H kick-off held in March before the COVID19 restrictions was deemed a success to begin the 2020 4-H year. good year for Meigs County 4-H did not materialize, with participation down in all areas and a project decrease of about 20 percent.

It is the time members display projects and show and sell their livestock entries. After a statewide mandate by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine last week to limit county fair’s due to a surge in COVID-19 cases, the Meigs County Fair Board scrambled to come up with a plan “to insure kids would be recognized for all their hard work and dedication this year.” The fair will be a Junior Fair only; 4-Hers will be able to display their completed miscellaneous projects and show and sell any completed livestock projects while complying with social distancing and mask requirements There will not be the usual 4-H booth at the Fair, but the Cloverbud Show and Make your morning taste a little better with Tell, followed by a Graduation ceremony will take place. Cloverbuds are 4-H members between 5 and 7. The graduation ceremony moves them from Cloverbuds to traditional 4-H members. “We had a great turn out for our 4-H Kick-Off at the beginning of March with a lot of new interest in 4-H. However, when 636 Main St. COVID-19 happened and 4-Hers were not being able to meet face to face, we lost Pomeroy, OH 45769 some interest. We are hoping for a full 740-992-2599 2021 year.” Inside Swisher and Lohse Pharmacy Lorna Hart is a freelance writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.
