Blues Bash, Rhythm on the River postponed By Erin (Perkins) Johnson Special to OVP POMEROY — Though the county is slowly starting to return to as normal as possible during the COVID-19 pandemic, some favorite summer events are still being postponed in the interest of keeping individuals safe. According to Jackie Welker and Phil Ohlinger, two of the organizers of the Big Bend Blues and Brews Bash and the Rhythm on the River series, both of these events have been moved off the regularly scheduled June and July dates. The Rhythm on the River series typically kicks off towards the end of June and runs until the end of July when the Blues Bash is held during that last weekend. As of right now, no new dates for these events have been scheduled yet, though the organizers are still hoping to host musical events as soon as it is safe for individuals to attend. “We’ve alwayed want to be a part of the solution of small town living, not part of the problem,” shared Welker. “There are multiple reasons for the postponement, but safety of our community was first and foremost. Large gatherings are still prohibited to our knowledge, so it was simply a proactive approach.” This year would have been the 20th annual Big Bend Blues and Brews Bash. Though the organizers have a feeling of sadness towards the postponement of this year’s event, shared MIDDLEPORT — Charges are not expected to be filed after an incident on Tuesday evening in Middleport in which a child was struck by a vehicle. In a news release on Thursday from the Middleport Police Department, Chief Bruce Swift stated that on Tuesday evening the department received a report of a child being struck by an automobile at the intersection of Page and Park Streets in the village. On scene, officers found a nine year old boy from Middleport had been riding his bicycle when he was struck by a van. The Middleport Fire Department and Meigs County EMS also responded to the scene. “Due to the mechanism of injury the child was flown to Children’s Hospital in Columbus for treatment of a possible See CHILD | 3 Free fishing June 20-21 for Ohio residents Blitzkrieg band members perform during the 2019 Blues Bash. Welker and Ohlinger, the 20th annual event will still happen just at a later date and during better days. “We did have a few things special planned for the 20th anniversary of the Blues Bash,” said Welker. “20 years is a good run in this area.” Welker and Ohlinger shared once these events can safely be held, the festival goers need to be ready for lots and lots of fun and dancing. As for additional specialties at the rescheduled event, the organizers are still discussing their ideas. Some of the special plans for this year, may be pushed to 2021, it all just depends. Regardless, festival goers will want to show their support for the Big Bend Blues and Brews Bash and the Rhythm on the River series once they make their return to the area again. Welker and Ohlinger shared that those in the community should keep in touch as some musical events will be taking place as soon as possible in either the O’Brien Garden off Main Street and Court Street and/or on Court Street itself. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Ohio Valley Publishing Ohio voting ballot campaign suspended COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Backers of a ballot proposal aimed at changing Ohio’s election laws to make it easier to vote suspended their campaign Thursday, citing their inability to collect signatures during the coronavirus pandemic. The decision by Ohioans for Secure and Fair Elections came a day after a protracted legal fight to make November’s ballot made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The state has until Monday to respond to the group’s appeal, which was joined by other ballot campaigns to raise the minimum wage and decriminalize marijuana. Toni Webb, campaign manager for the voting issue, said there isn’t enough time left now to make the state’s signature deadline. “While we litigated and won in federal court and were still willing to obtain the full number of signatures electronically — a method much safer during a pandemic — the state appealed that decision,” Webb said in a statement. “Because of the timing of the appeal, we will not be able to get on the ballot in 2020, but it will not prevent our work to ensure voting is secure and fair for all Ohioans.” The group’s reform package would have automatically registered interested Ohioans to vote when they conduct business at state Bureau of Motor Vehicle offices, allowed same-day voter registration and voting, and guaranteed ballot access to military service members, overseas citizens and voters with disabilities. It also would have required a postelection audit. J. Bennett Guess, executive director for the ACLU of Ohio, said campaign partners remain committed to advancing the effort later. “The people of this state deserve and demand a participa- tory democracy that is open and accessible to every eligible Ohioan,” he said in a statement. “The COVID-19 pandemic and the messy, chaotic, and confusing primary underscores exactly why Ohio’s outdated election laws, which prevent voters from accessing their ballot and having it counted, must be updated and reformed.” U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus Jr. granted the groups more flexible rules for collecting signatures in a May 19 decision, including an extended deadline and the ability to collect names electronically. The state appealed, and the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals effectively blocked Sargus’ order. The parties appealed to the nation’s high court Wednesday. The state argues among other things that “wet ink” signature requirements laid out in Ohio’s Constitution cannot be changed without a vote of the people. Bolton: Trump guided by reelection concerns By Zeke Miller, Deb Riechmann and Jill Colvin IN BRIEF Associated Press Jean Kennedy Smith dies; last surviving sibling of JFK Jean Kennedy Smith, who was the last surviving sibling of President John F. Kennedy and who as a U.S. ambassador played a key role in the peace process in Northern Ireland, has died, relatives said Thursday. She was 92. Former U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy, Smith’s nephew, confirmed her death. She died Wednesday at her home in Manhattan, her daughter Kym told The New York Times. Smith was the eighth of nine children born to Joseph and Rose Kennedy, and tragically several of them preceded her in death by decades. Her siblings included older brother Joseph Kennedy Jr., killed in action during World War II; Kathleen “Kick’ Kennedy, who died in a 1948 plane crash; the president, assassinated in 1963 and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, slain in 1968. Among Smith’s other siblings, Rosemary died in 2005, Patricia in 2006 and Sen. Edward Kennedy, the youngest of the Kennedy siblings, died of brain cancer in August 2009, the same month their sister Eunice Kennedy Shriver died. Billie Eilish gets restraining order for trespasser LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge has extended to three years a restraining order taken out by Billie Eilish against a man who repeatedly appeared at her Los Angeles home. In a hearing, Superior Court Judge Dianna GouldSaltman agreed to the extension of the May 11 order preventing 24-year-old Prenell Rousseau from attempting to contact or coming within 100 yards (91 meters) of the 18-year-old pop star or her parents. Eilish, her attorney and her parents phoned in to the hearing, held in a courtroom that was empty except for a reporter from The Associated Press reporter and court staff because of tight coronavirus restrictions. All including the judge wore face masks. California order to require people to wear masks SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California will require people to wear masks in most indoor settings and outdoors when distancing isn’t possible under a statewide order issued Thursday. The order comes as California broadly reopens the economy; in most counties, people can now shop, dine in at restaurants, get their hair done and go to church, among other things. Meanwhile, coronavirus cases are increasing, something the state says is expected as more people get tested. More than 3,400 people were in the hospital as of Wednesday, the most patients hospitalized since April. The order will require people to wear masks when inside or in line for any indoor public spaces, in healthcare settings like hospitals and pharmacies, while waiting for or riding public transportation and in outdoor spaces where its not possible to stay 6 feet (1.8 meters) apart from other people. Until now, the Democratic governor had let local governments decide whether to mandate masks, an issue that’s become politically fraught as some Americans resist orders to wear them. He said he’s issuing the order now because too many people are going out in public without face coverings as businesses, restaurants and other sectors of the economy reopen.

The White House worked furiously to block the book, asking a federal court for an emergency temporary restraining order Wednesday against its release. Bolton’s allegations that Trump solicited Chinese help for his reelection effort carried echoes of Trump’s attempt to get political help from Ukraine, which led to his impeachment. “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by re-election calculations,” Bolton wrote. The 577-page book paints an unvarnished portrait of Trump and his administration, amounting to the most vivid, first-person account yet of how Trump conducts himself in office. Several other former officials have written books, but most have been flattering about the president. Other former officials have indicated they were saving their accounts of their time working for Trump until after he left office to speak more candidly. The Associated Press obtained a copy of Bolton’s book in advance of its release next week. Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser for a 17-month period, called Trump’s attempt to shift the June 2019 conversation with Xi to the U.S. election a stunning move and wrote that it was among innumerable conversa- Pablo Martinez Monsivais | AP, File An attorney for former national security adviser John Bolton Bolton said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is trying to put on ice publication of the former top administration official’s forthcoming memoir after White House lawyers again this week raised concerns that the book contains classified material that presents a national security threat. tions that he found concerning. He added that Congress should have expanded the scope of its impeachment inquiry to these other incidents. Deeply critical of the president and much of his senior team, Bolton wrote that because staff had served him so poorly, Trump “saw conspiracies behind rocks, and remained stunningly uninformed on how to run the White House, let alone the huge federal government.” He added that while he was at the White House, Trump typically had only two intelligence briefings a week “and in most of those, he spoke at greater length than the briefers, often on matters completely unrelated to the subjects at hand.” On Thursday Trump denounced the book as “a compilation of lies and made up stories, all intended to make me look bad.” “Many of the ridiculous statements he attributes to me were never made, pure fiction,” he tweeted. Trump accused Bolton of violating the law by releasing the book, telling Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” on Wednesday: “It’s highly classified information, and he did not have approval.” The book includes embarrassing claims that Trump thought Finland was part of Russia, didn’t know that the United Kingdom was a nuclear power and called reporters “scumbags” who should be “executed.” As for the meeting with the Chinese president in Osaka, Japan, Bolton wrote that Trump told Xi that Democrats were hostile to China. “He then, stunningly, turned the conversation to the coming U.S. presidential election, alluding to China’s economic capability to affect the ongoing campaigns, pleading with Xi to ensure he’d win,” Bolton said. “He stressed the importance of farmers, and increased Chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome.” Lottery called on to supplement school funding COLUMBUS (AP) — An Ohio state lawmaker is calling on the state lottery to get creative to help schools after Gov. Mike DeWine cut $355 million from the state education budget to balance the books. Gov. DeWine cut $775 million in total on Tuesday, including $110 million for higher education and $210 million from the state Medicaid program. Sen. Bill Coley, R-Liberty Township, wrote a letter to Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald requesting that the lottery offer recommendations to maximize profits, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Coley has expressed interest in the lottery running the state’s sports betting operation and has called on them to be more vocal about the available options. “We’ve heard very little from the lottery during this important debate on sports betting. It’s time they speak up and tell us what’s possible,” Coley said. The two chambers are debating whether the Ohio Casino Control Commission or the Ohio Lottery will run the new industry. Ohio Lottery spokesperson Danielle Frizzi-Babb said the department is open to continuing conversations with the Legislature and the administration on innovation solutions to increase profits. Court strikes down order restricting commentary COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A judge’s order forbidding a man from making Internet postings in the future about two family members is unconstitutional, the Ohio Supreme Court said in a unanimous ruling. At issue before the court were social media and other comments by a western Ohio man accusing his sister of contributing to her husband’s death in 2015 and accusing his mother of contributing to his father’s separate death in 2008. The postings also accused local officials in Mercer County from failing to properly investigate the deaths. In 2018, a judge granted the women a stalking protection order that prohibited the man from having any contact with them. The judge’s order also forbade the man from posting “in any manner that expresses, implies, or suggests” that the women were culpable in their husbands’ deaths. That order is an unconstitutional restraint on free speech, the state Supreme Court ruled in a unanimous decision Tuesday. The civil protection orders were meant to relieve the mental dis- tress the women experienced from the postings, Justice Michael Donnelly wrote. “But the means chosen to provide that relief— with its virtually unlimited restraint on the content of future postings about appellees—went far beyond anything that the factual record before us can sustain and the First Amendment can tolerate,” the justice said. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS Myrtle From page 1 would probably be a good decision,” he said. In Kanawha County, officials are urging people to get tested for the virus if they have recently gone to Myrtle Beach. A news release from the Cabell-Huntington Health Department said travelers should follow safety guidelines to curtail the spread of the virus. Separately this week, West Virginia has seen virus outbreaks at churches in the state, including the Graystone Baptist Church in Lewisburg, which has had at least 33 cases. Republican Gov. Jim Justice has eased virus lockdowns on businesses while telling the public to wear face masks and observe social distancing guidelines as the economy reopens. His health officials have acknowledged that removing restrictions will lead to more cases. The virus continues to drive astronomically high unemployment filings despite reopenings. Federal records released Thursday show 4,151 West Virginians filed for jobless aid last week. More than 250,000 unemployment claims have been processed in West Virginia since the pandemic forced widespread shutdowns in March. The state health department said at least 88 people have died from the virus and 2,400 have tested positive. For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up within weeks. But for others, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, the virus can cause severe symptoms and be fatal. The vast majority of people recover.

I know some of you may not have a dad around; I hope though that you have someone you can look up to and interact with that is a good “father” role model. And, I know, that not everyone has a great relationship with the dad either. If you Ann don’t, I’m so sorry, but again, Moody Contributing I pray you have a male in your life to fill that void. columnist Did you know that God commanded us to honor our mothers and fathers in the Ten Commandments given back in the Old Testament of the Bible? Then it is repeated by Paul in his letter to the Ephesian people in Ephesians 6: 1-3, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (this is the first commandment with a promise), that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Yes, God tells us to honor our fathers and mothers, but what does it really mean to say “honor” your parents? The Bible teaches us that the way to honor your parents it to: obey them, respect them, and never cause them pain, I believe. The Apostle Paul further wrote in Colossians 3: 20, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” When your mom or dad tells you to do something or not do something, it is for your own good, and you should pay attention to what they say – even if it seems dumb, unfair, or unpleasant to you. They would not tell you to do something that would hurt you or be against God’s will because they love you. God wants you to respect your parents actually all adults. Adults’ ways may seem strange to you as children often times, but you should always respect them, their ideas, their ways of doing things, their likes and dislikes, and their authority. Believe it or not, as you get older, you will gain more knowledge and wisdom, and they probably won’t seem so odd then! Finally, I know you would never do anything to actually cause real pain to your mom or dad, but when you disobey them or sass them or don’t pay attention to what they say, it hurts them inside in their hearst. It causes them worry and sorrow, and you don’t ever want to do that to them that love you. Please remember this about your father’s or mother’s love: nothing you do will ever make them stop loving you. A parent’s love is the strongest and most enduring love that exists with the exception of God’s love for us. But not obeying them, not respecting them, and causing them pain does hurt them more than you realize, so honor your moms and dads this day and always. If you read the rest of the commandment above, you will read that if you do these things, God promises that your life will be so much more joyful and successful. Make your parents proud and glad. You will never regret it. Give your father or father figure a great big hug this Sunday and a huge thank you for all he does and remember God’s promise! Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Father God, we know You were our first Father. Then You gave us earthly Fathers to help take care of us as we grow. Thank you for these men who love us and show us a glimpse of what Your love is like. Please help us to always remember to honor them in the ways we should and also remember Your promise if we do. Happy Father’s Day, God! In Jesus’ name, Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church.

Ohio Valley Publishing A HUNGER FOR MORE Showing real grace, real love In a world full of people who have not cultivated the discipline of listening to others before judging them, Christians have the unique opportunity to model the guiding principles within Christian faith that we call grace and compassion. In a time when it seems that we are increasingly likely to hear of violent reactions of a person or group of people toward another because of the perception that the other is evil or inferior in some way, God’s children have a special calling to do more than just react. Human wisdom and conventional, worldly logic tell us that it is time to fight, to take, to oppose and to exact revenge. Fear, hate, and violence are heaped upon fear, hate, and violence. Yet God interrupts us today with a different outlook and a different path. Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to have in our minds you, Do not resist the offended us. And one who is evil. But He reminds us that if anyone slaps you He does not treat us on the right cheek, that way. Instead, turn to him the other He patiently works also. And if anyone to bridge the divide would sue you and that exists between take your tunic, let Thom him have your cloak Mollohan us and Him because as well. And if anyContributing of our sin and graciously bring us out one forces you to go columnist of sin’s bondage one mile, go with into a genuine relahim two miles” (Mattionship with Himself even thew 5:38-41 ESV). though we do not deserve This is addressing our it. tendency to react.

The Lord Jesus was that God is on His throne and will ultimately call addressing the evil in us every single deed, every as we take into our own hands the parceling out of thought and every word, into account. How very judgment on others who sobering because every one of us ultimately must stand before Him (see 1 Peter 4:5). But what grace and mercy He has shown us in that while we all fall short, we may experience His forgiveness and, as we do so, we may extend that same mercy and forgiveness to others. This is what God’s grace does as it grabs hold of us and sets us free. As Christians today, the platform has been given to us to now show what real grace and real love look like. After all, we have the best picture of all in the sacrifice that Jesus did on the cross when He gave His life for sinners like you and me.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Do not fear with Jesus on your side The Bible has a few things to say relative to fear and its place in the lives of God’s people. There is of course, the doctrine teaching us to “fear God and keep His commandments (cf. Ecclesiastes 12:13). Fear of the Lord is a foundational precept which should color all of our interaction with God, filling us with humility, awe and a zeal for obedience to His commands. But though we are to fear God, is there anything else we are to be afraid of? The Bible, to sum up 66 books worth of teaching on the matter, says there is not. Jesus contrasted the fear of God with the fear that we are not to possess, saying, “do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Matthew 10:28; ESV).” Jesus, in telling His disciples not to fear the ones who could kill the body was speaking in the context of preaching the Gospel – don’t let fear stop you from preaching the gospel, even to men who might potentially kill you; but the principle has application in every walk of Christian life. Do not allow our fear of the temporal to affect our reception of that which is eternal. Do not let fear dictate your behavior and obedience to God. Do not let fear change the way in which you treat others. The admonition, “do not another. And perfear,” is one which haps as you listen is repeated multiple to the stories, ask times in God’s word, yourself whether or in a variety of circumnot there is a tempstances.

Contributing to those fears, giving creedence to The Bible is replete Columnist those who would with examples of men counsel you to live who did take counsel and respond from a place of their fears, rather than of fear. trusting in God, each Jesus, in His gospel, is account a reminder of how we can go wrong when we calling us, in the fear of the Lord, to put away our are fearful. The Bible also contains multiple examples fear of everything else. The scriptures remind Chrisof men who behaved fearlessly, gaining success and tians: “God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power commendation from God for their faith. The message and love and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7; ESV).” from God is clear: fear of It is hard to work in the men and worldly forces is contrary to faith but trust- fullness of the power of the ing in God allows us to face Lord, when we let fear control our speech and actions. any circumstance without Fear will hinder us and fear. give us reasons not to do We live in a world that the work God has created is often controlled by fear. for us to do.

Jesus said, yourself as you listen: how “love one another as I have loved you (John 13:34),” many of the stories being and the love of Christ was reported are about people being fearful, in one way or in no way shaped by fear. Even as He was being crucified, Jesus exhibited no fear towards His persecutors, but instead prayed, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34).” Elsewhere God teaches us, “there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (1 John 4:18; ESV)” We are never going to fully claim the victory Christ is offering if we are too busy being afraid of the world around us. Again, Jesus says, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” The world is always going to offer you something it thinks should discourage you or make you afraid. Jesus offers a different path: the path of faith and hope and love. Let’s choose to take the better path. The church of Christ invites you to join us on the path Christ teaches, and would love to have you worship and study with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio. Likewise, if you have any questions or comments, please share them with us. Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

There’s nothing like watching your favorite team win the game after being down the entire time. Those moments when the tables are turned. The tide shifts. And the underdog comes out on top. Well, that’s exactly what happens in Esther 9. “Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s command and edict were about to be carried out, on the very day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, the reverse occurred: the Jews gained mastery over those who hated them” (Esth. 9:1 cities throughout ESV). all the provinces of If you’ve been readKing Ahasuerus to ing these articles on lay hands on those Esther, you know this who sought their is a huge deal.

The Bible continues, “The Jews gathered in their And we continue to see His sovereignty at work in the silence. Verses 5 through 11 explain the destruction of those against the Jews. In fact, in verses 7 through 9, the Bible informs us of the ten sons of Haman being killed. Justice is being served. The Jews are making a comeback. And the king hears about it. “And the king said to Queen Esther, ‘In Susa the citadel the Jews have killed and destroyed 500 men and also the ten sons to Haman.

Those activities include weight training, conditioning and skills instruction with coaches supervising for up to eight hours per week. Skills instruction can not exceed four hours per week and no days off are required. The original proposal from the basketball oversight committee’s asked for an 18-day period from July 1-19 when basketball players could add “enhanced in-person nonphysical activities” to the already permissible voluntary weight training and conditioning at team facilities. Those enhanced activi- ties included team and individual meetings requested by the athletes and film study. The council instead extended the current rule, allowing voluntary activities and up to eight hours per week of virtual activities through July 19. The council deferred a decision on a proposal to restart off-campus basketball recruiting and altering the calendar. “The Council worked to balance the desire to get student-athletes training again with the need to repopulate our campuses and athletics facilities gradually and safely, within all campus, local and state mandates,” said council chairwoman Grace Calhoun, who is the athletic director at Penn. The council needed more time to consider the recruiting recommendations and will vote on the recruiting calendar in a few weeks. It will also consider adding more activities for basketball players during the July 1-19 period. In men’s basketball, the recruiting proposal called for tournaments and scouting events usually held in April, June and July to be held in August, with coaches permitted to attend. Off-campus and in-person recruiting for coaches would begin in September. On the women’s side, the recruiting proposal called for an evaluation period to be created from Aug. 15-Sept. 8 and for the fall contact period from Sept. 9-29 to be converted into an evaluation period. As for the current players, on Sept. 15 or the first day of classes, whichever comes first, team can transition to out-of-season workouts, similar to summer access but two days off per week are required. Full preseason practice can start 42 days before a school’s first regularseason game.

John Raoux | AP The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association believe they have done what’s necessary for the health and safety of the 22 teams and others that will be part of the season restart at the Disney campus near Orlando next month. As Florida numbers rise, NBA prepares for Disney The Associated Press The rate of positive coronavirus tests in the Orlando, Florida, area has been soaring in recent days. The NBA hopes that doesn’t matter. After spending weeks putting together an incredibly elaborate series of health and safety protocols — the word “testing” appears 282 times in the document — the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association believe they have done what’s necessary for the health and safety of the 22 teams and others that will be part of the season restart at the Disney campus near Orlando next month. Ready or not, basketball is almost back. “No one is suggesting that this is going to be an infection-free, guaranteed environment,” NBPA executive director Michele Roberts told The Associated Press. “I guess, unless we go to … well, where would we go? What state has the lowest rate? There’s just no way of finding a sterile environment probably on this planet, but certainly, not in this country.” Among the details that were included in the protocols released to teams Tuesday night: players will be invited to wear what the league calls a “proximity alarm” that will set off an audio alert when the person is within 6 feet of another person for more than five seconds and therefore not following social distancing guidelines, plus they can choose to wear a ring that will generate “a wellness assessment derived from metrics such as body temperature and respiratory and heart rate.” Players and staff also will be given thermometers and a pulse oximeter so they can track their data and record it on the league’s daily health platform. “I am optimistic about the NBA’s return-to-play policies and procedures,” said Denver coach Michael Malone, who found out last month that he had already beaten COVID-19 after an antibody test showed he had the virus. “They are going to do whatever it takes to make this the safest environment as possible. There are no guarantees and there will be a risk, but I feel confident in the measures to be taken pre-Orlando and once in Orlando.” True, there will be a risk. And the league acknowledges that no plan can be perfect. “These Protocols are designed to promote prevention and mitigation strategies to reduce exposure to, and transmission of, the coronavirus,” the league said. “However, it is possible that staff, players, or other participants in the resumption of the 2019-20 season nonetheless may test positive or contract the coronavirus.” But by following strict rules — including regular testing, no leaving the Disney campus without returning to quarantine, no unauthorized guests, no family members being permitted to arrive until late August and, though this likely didn’t need to be said, no spitting on the court — the NBA and the NBPA hope the risk is minimal as teams prepare for a Disney stay that could exceed three months for the teams that make the NBA Finals. “It’ll still probably bother everybody that we’re not home,” Miami center Bam Adebayo said. “But at the end of the day, we’ll be happy to play basketball.” The NBA’s arrival at Disney is looming as the rate of positive tests around the state is rising, and officials such as Gov. Ron DeSantis are facing criticism for re-opening many parts of the state’s economy. But if NBA players aren’t venturing out among the public, the hope is that no matter what’s going on beyond Disney’s fences, the quasi-bubble for basketball won’t be affected. The rate of positive tests in Orange County, which includes Orlando, in the seven-day period ending Tuesday was 6.5%. For the seven days immediately preceding that, it was 2.5% — meaning the rate has more than doubled in a one-week span. For tests conducted Tuesday, state officials said that Orange County’s positive rate was 11.9% — almost 10 times the rate of 1.4% recorded as recently as June 3. “It’s concerning but not surprising,” Roberts said. “I’ve watched this governor behave as if the virus is an inconvenience as opposed to a virus. So I guess watching the way the state is adhering or not adhering to CDC guidelines, it’s not surprising that these numbers would go up.” DeSantis has said Florida’s rising numbers reflects more testing and other factors, though the percentage of positive tests is also significantly higher than was the case just a couple of weeks ago across the state and in the Orlando area. The state’s agriculture commissioner, Nikki Fried, tweeted Tuesday that DeSantis “has lost control” of Florida’s response to the pandemic and recklessly reopened the state “despite the data screaming for caution.” DeSantis is a Republican; Fried is the only elected Democrat to hold a statewide office. “My solace is that our guys are not going to be out and about in the city of Orlando,” Roberts said. “The players will be flown in noncommercial, and they will essentially be on campus for the entirety of their stay until such time as their season ends.” �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Friday, June 19, 2020 9 By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET CONCEPTIS SUDOKU By Vic Lee by Dave Green � RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� OH-70187341 D R TH � � � � � � � � � WARRANTY Promo Number: 285 10 � � � � � � � � � LIFETIME YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE* % OFF SENIOR & MILITARY DISCOUNTS � � � � � � � � � 1 ER GUA 15 OFF AND! + � � � � � � � � � TT NATIO ’S E N Le GUARANTEED!

It shall be fulfilled’” (v. 12 ESV). God is sovereign over the king, and Esther approaches him again with a request. “And Esther said, ‘If it please the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be allowed tomorrow also to do according to this day’s edict. And let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows’” (v. 13 ESV). By the time all is said and done, God uses the Jews to get revenge on their enemies over the course of two days. And as verses 14 through 16 testify, the outcome is grand. Thousands upon thousands of their enemies are killed. The tables have surely been turned. There are two things I want to draw from this text. First, we must recognize the God of grace. Dowden explains, “None who died in Susa or the provinces on the thirteenth or fourteenth days of the month of Adar were innocent.” But that’s not all. He continues, “Here again is a visible picture of what we all deserve: death for our sin and rebellion against God.” We all, like Haman and the evil pagans, are rebels against God. We deserve eternal death and separation from Him. “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespass, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved” (Eph. 2:4-5 ESV). Only through Christ are we freed from the wrath of God. Only in Him do we find forgiveness. We must trust the God of grace. Secondly, we must recognize the God of reversals. I don’t know about you, but there have been several times in my life where God has turned the tables on my plans. I remember graduating high school two years ago. As I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, the following words were read: “We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps” (Prov. 16:9 NLT). Looking back on that day, I can promise you that my life looks much different than I ever imagined. But that’s because my ways aren’t God’s ways, and my thoughts aren’t God’s thoughts (see Isa. 55:8-9). I’m not sure what type of reversals you’re experiencing today. Things might look a whole lot different than you intended. But you can be encouraged to know that even if your situation looks drastically different than you ever dreamed, God is still sovereign. God is still in control. And you can trust the God of reversals. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va. Find more at www.isaiahpauley.com.
