As of May this year, a new local group has formed called the Big Bend Beardsmen. Member Travis Drenner shared they are a group of facial hair enthusiasts who do volunteer work in the Bend Area and raise money for local charities. The group is comprised of bearded gentlemen as well as ladies who are big fans of beards, all interested in socializing with one another, having discussions on beard maintenance and planning ways to help out their community. The group holds monthly meetings at different venues throughout the Bend See BEARDSMEN | 4 Photo courtesy Big Bend Beardsmen The volunteer crew from the Big Bend Beardsmen’s recent community service day, pictured left to right, David Barnes, Jason Underhill, Travis Drenner, Jill Cochran, Ricky Hysell, Tyler Brewer and Trenton Brewer. �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, August 27, 2020 Ohio Democrats sue election chief By Farnoush Amiri virus pandemic. “The complaint we ﬁled today makes clear that nothing in Ohio law prevents counties and the COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio Secretary of State from expanding Democrats sued the state’s elecdrop boxes within their respective tion chief Tuesday seeking to counties,” Ohio Democratic Party force an expansion of ballot drop Chairman David Pepper said in a boxes ahead of the November statement Tuesday. election.

He had a beautiful, booming voice and would sing hymns for area churches, and at his parents’ house on Sundays when the family would gather around the piano and sing. He also wrote hymns that showed his strong connection with God and his Christian faith. Ray was the “Garden Man.” For many years after he retired, he would tow his John Deere garden tractor out to till gardens and do other jobs for people. During those years, if you called his house, you’d hear the joyful phone greeting: “Yep, you’ve got the Garden Man!” He loved helping others. Ray was Santa Claus. He was a big man in many ways, and for years he would dress up in a Santa suit and visit family, friends, neighbors and mostly anyone who would ask for a visit from Santa. He was a jolly and generous man, and made a perfect Santa Claus. Ray was a tinkerer and a ﬁxer. He could ﬁx anything and loved the challenge of a project. Finally, he was a good, kind and gentle man and his presence here will be greatly missed. His great-grand daughter Mariah Garrett and son-in-law Jimmy Gray, along with other loving family members, provided comfort and support to him in his ﬁnal days on earth.

And the coronavirus pandemic — the worst public health crisis in a century — is raging. The approaches to the turmoil taken by President Donald Trump and his allies have been striking. The ﬁrst two nights of the Republican National Convention included virtually no reference to the hurricane gaining strength in the Gulf of Mexico of the California ﬁres. A Las Vegas pastor did open the second night of the convention with a prayer for Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, prompting three nights of protests. But most speakers have stuck to Trump’s lawand-order message, warning that electing Democrat Joe Biden would lead to violence in American cities spilling into the suburbs, a message with racist undertones Health issues weren’t totally ignored. But Larry Kudlow, the president’s top economic adviser, referred to the virus in the past tense even as the death toll in the United States surpassed 178,000. And Natalie Harp, a California woman who has battled bone cancer, credited a Trump-backed law with saving her life and argued the nation would be in a far worse place without his leadership. First Lady Melania Trump was the most direct of any of the convention speakers in addressing the suffering wrought by the pandemic. new, 2 hospitalization, 1 death) 80-89 — 13 cases (4 new, 1 death, 3 hospitalFrom page 1 izations) 90-99 — 9 cases (4 female in the 70 to new) 79-year-old age range, One additional recovwho is not hospitalized. ered case was reported, 8.

Associated Press WASHINGTON — As Republicans make the case for a second Trump term at their convention, trouble is brewing outside. A potentially catastrophic hurricane is bearing down on Texas and Louisiana and will likely test the administration’s emergency response capabilities. California is battling some of the largest wildﬁres in its history. A city in the battleground state Gerald Herbert | AP Victoria Nelson with her children Autum Nelson, 2, Shawn Nelson, 7, and Asia Nelson, 6, line up to board a bus to evacuate Lake Charles, La., on Wednesday ahead of Hurricane Laura, which the National Hurricane Center called “extremely dangerous.” Hurricane Laura gains strength, could bring ‘unsurvivable’ surge DELCAMBRE, La. (AP) — Laura strengthened Wednesday into a menacing Category 4 hurricane, raising fears of a 20-foot storm surge that forecasters said would be “unsurvivable” and capable of sinking entire communities. Authorities implored coastal residents of Texas and Louisiana to evacuate and worried that not enough had ﬂed. The storm grew nearly 70% in power in just 24 hours to a size the National Hurricane Center called “extremely dangerous.” Drawing energy from the warm Gulf of Mexico waters, the system was on track to arrive late Wednesday or early Thursday as the most powerful hurricane to strike the U.S. so far this year. “It looks like it’s in full beast mode,” said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. “Which is not what you want to see if you’re in its way.” One major Louisiana highway already had standing water as Laura’s outer bands moved ashore with tropical storm-force winds. Thousands of sandbags lined roadways in tiny Laﬁtte, and winds picked up as shoppers rushed into a grocery store in low-lying Delcambre. Trent Savoie, 31, said he was staying put. “With four kids and 100 farm animals, it’s just hard to move out,” he said. With time running short, both Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards fretted that the dire predictions were not resonating despite authorities putting more than 500,000 coastal residents under mandatory evacuation orders. In Lake Charles, Louisiana, National Guard members drove school buses around neighborhoods, offering to pick up families. Just across the state line in Port Arthur, Texas, stragglers boarding buses were few and far between. Abbott warned that families who do not get out of harm’s way could be cut off from help long after the storm hits. The National Hurricane Center kept raising its estimate of Laura’s storm surge, from 10 feet just a couple of days ago to twice that size — a height that forecasters said would be especially deadly. A Category 4 hurricane can cause damage so catastrophic that power outages may last for months in places, and wide areas could be uninhabitable for weeks or months. The threat of such devastation posed a new disaster-relief challenge for a government already straining to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. Among the parts of Louisiana that were under evacuation orders were areas turning up high rates of positive COVID-19 tests. By Wednesday afternoon, Laura had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph) as it churned about 200 miles (320 kilometers) from Lake Charles, moving northwest at 16 mph (26 kph). Forecasters predict winds will reach at least 145 mph winds but may weaken slightly before landfall. “Heed the advice of your local authorities. If they tell you to go, go! Your life depends on it today,” said Joel Cline, tropical program coordinator at the National Weather Service. “It’s a serious day and you need to listen to them.” On Twitter, President Donald Trump also urged coastal residents to heed local ofﬁcials. Hurricane warnings were issued from San Luis Pass, Texas, to Intracoastal City, Louisiana, and reached inland for 200 miles (322 kilometers). Storm surge warnings were in effect from Freeport, Texas, to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Forecasters said storm surge topped by waves could submerge entire towns. Water was already rising in the small Louisiana community of Holly Beach in the imperiled Cameron Parish, which forecasters have warned would be part of the Gulf of Mexico after the storm came ashore. Edwards lamented that the impending storm meant suspension of community testing for COVID-19 at a crucial time — as elementary and secondary schools in Louisiana are opening and students are returning to college campuses. “We’re basically going to be blind for this week,” Edwards said, referring to the lack of testing. Laura is expected to dump massive amounts of rain as it moves inland, causing widespread ﬂash ﬂooding in states far from the coast. Flood watches were issued for much of Arkansas, and forecasters said heavy rainfall could arrive by Friday in parts of Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky. Laura is so powerful that it’s expected to become a tropical storm again once it reaches the Atlantic Ocean, potentially menacing the Northeast. Even before dawn Wednesday, ofﬁcials in Austin said the city had run out of free hotel rooms to offer evacuees and had begun directing families ﬂeeing the storm to a shelter nearly 200 miles farther north. In Texas’ Hardin County, which has more than 57,000 residents along the coast, ofﬁcials warned that anyone who tried riding out the storm faced days or weeks without electricity. COVID-19 West Virginia As of the 10 a.m. update on Wednesday, DHHR is reporting a total of 9,540 cases with 190 deaths. There was an increase of 145 cases from Monday, and three new deaths.

Today’s Highlight in History On August 27, 2008, Barack Obama was nominated for president by the Democratic National Convention in Denver. On this date In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces who ended up being forced to retreat two days later. In 1858, the second debate between senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas took place in Freeport, Ill. In 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas. In 1949, a violent white mob prevented an outdoor concert headlined by Paul Robeson from taking place near Peekskill, New York. (The concert was held eight days later.) In 1963, author, journalist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois died in Accra, Ghana, at age 95. In 1964, President Lyndon Baines Johnson accepted his party’s nomination for a term in his own right, telling the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey, “Let us join together in giving every American the fullest life which he can hope for.” In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-year-old grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army. In 1989, the ﬁrst U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida — a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1. In 1998, two suspects in the bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kenya were brought to the United States to face charges. (Mohamed Rashed Daoud al-‘Owhali (moh-HAH’-mehd rah-SHEED’ dah-ood ahl-oh-WAHL’-ee) and Mohammed Saddiq Odeh (sah-DEEK’ oh-DAY’) were convicted in 2001 of conspiring to carry out the bombing; both were sentenced to life in prison.) In 2005, coastal residents jammed freeways and gas stations as they rushed to get out of the way of Hurricane Katrina, which was headed toward New Orleans. In 2006, a Comair CRJ-100 crashed after trying to take off from the wrong runway in Lexington, Ky., killing 49 people and leaving the co-pilot the sole survivor. In 2009, mourners ﬁled past the closed casket of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. Jaycee Lee Dugard, kidnapped when she was 11, was reunited with her mother 18 years after her abduction in South Lake Tahoe, California. Ten years ago: Aijalon Gomes (EYE’-jah-lahn gohms), an American who’d been held for seven months in North Korea for trespassing, stepped off a plane in his hometown of Boston accompanied by former President Jimmy Carter, who had ﬂown to Pyongyang to negotiate his freedom. Cuba issued a pair of surprising free market decrees, allowing foreign investors to lease government land for at least 99 years and loosening state controls on commerce to let citizens grow and sell their own fruits and vegetables. Five years ago: Visiting residents on tidy porch stoops and sampling food at a corner restaurant, President Barack Obama held out the people of New Orleans as an extraordinary example of renewal and resilience 10 years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Ex-NBA star Darryl Dawkins, 58, whose board-shattering dunks earned him the moniker “Chocolate Thunder” and helped pave the way for breakaway rims, died in Allentown, Pennsylvania. One year ago: Sixteen women who said they had been sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein poured out their anger in court, as a judge gave them a chance to testify even though Epstein had died behind bars; the hearing was held on a normally routine request to throw out the indictment because of the defendant’s death. Rapper Meek Mill pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge in a deal resolving a 2007 arrest that had kept the rapper on probation or in prison for most of his adult life. In her debut at the U.S. Open, 15-yearold Coco Gauff trailed by a set and a break before recovering to beat Anastasia Potapova of Russia. Today’s Birthdays: Author Lady Antonia Fraser is 88.

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports A sparse crowd takes in the regular season finale at Paul Brown Stadium as the Cincinnati Bengals hosted the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 29, 2019, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Teams adjusting from 80K die-hards to 80 decibels JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The jokes write themselves: The Jacksonville Jaguars are going to play home games in front of a signiﬁcantly reduced number of fans this season. “How’s that different than any other year?” Don’t laugh. The Jaguars — along with Atlanta, Cincinnati, Miami, Tampa Bay and others — might be better equipped to handle the NFL’s drastic change in hometown support. They’ve dealt with it for years. Videoboard enhancements? Player-generated content? On-ﬁeld celebrations recognizing community heroes and military veterans? Some NFL teams have been doing those and more for decades to help offset fewer butts in seats. “One of the unfortunate advantages of being in a smaller market like Jacksonville is we have to get a little more creative in terms of how we create that home-ﬁeld advantage,” Jaguars President Mark Lamping said. “We’d have to do that if it’s normal capacity or not.” Twenty-one of the NFL’s 32 teams have ruled out spectators for the start of the season, with Buffalo, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Minnesota and San Francisco the latest to announce plans Tuesday. At least eight are preparing to host a limited number of fans. The bottom line: home-ﬁeld advantages created by generations of fandom — most notably and noticeable in Green Bay, Kansas City, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle — could be momentarily wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic. Teams are adjusting. New-age videoboards and top-of-the-line sound systems are taking center stage and assuming the all-important role of helping hype players in home venues. Those extras could spill into living rooms as several teams, including Jacksonville, are launching phone apps designed to provide in-stadium experiences to those watching from couches and comfy chairs. Want to see player introductions? Want to experience a military ﬂyover just before kickoff? The Jaguars are giving fans at home a peek at both through their new app. The television product, meanwhile, might not look a whole lot different aside from empty venues or sparse crowds. The NFL’s TV partners are expected to add fan reaction to broadcasts. For players and fans on hand, the voids will be ﬁlled by simulated crowd noise. The NFL is expected to allow 80 decibels piped in, a number many teams are already using during training camp practices and scrimmages. General managers, coaches and team ofﬁcials are preparing to play with that simulated crowd noise. Normal conversation is about 60 decibels. Double that for a rock concert. Eighty decibels equate to being in heavy trafﬁc or next to a lawn mower. Anything above 85 is consider dangerous, depending on the duration of the exposure, the number of times exposed and the use of hearing protection. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium holds the record for the loudest NFL game. Chiefs fans registered 142.4 decibels on Sept. 29, 2014, while hosting the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Going from 80,000 diehards to 80 decibels will sound like relative silence for anyone accustomed to a raucous, three-hour Sunday afternoon. “I’m a defensive guy, so I need fans,” Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman said. “I love my fans. That’s a big edge. People don’t know how much it affects offense. It affects receivers, especially when the momentum is on the defensive side. It becomes a mental game, almost. Fans yelling, crowd going crazy, people are just raving. You can get caught up in that.” Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Chan Gailey questioned how the piped-in noise will be monitored. “Who controls the volume on that?” Gailey said. “If you get a homer that slips that volume a little bit louder on third down, I’m not sure I’m for that a lot.” Home-ﬁeld advantage was hardly a huge factor in 2019. Home teams posted their secondlowest winning percentage since the AFL-NFL merger, going 132-123-1. That’s just a touch over .500, and only ahead of the 1972 season, when home teams went a combined 90-87-5. Nonetheless, it’s become the hot topic across the NFL this week. Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott made headlines by saying “it’s honestly ridiculous” that some teams will allow fans and others won’t. But those decisions were dictated by state and local guidelines, not the league. “When I ﬁrst came into the NFL, they were like, ‘Well, we’re playing in these stadiums and it’s loud and it’s the NFL,” Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said. “And I’m thinking, ‘Wait a minute, I’ve been in the SEC for two years. We average more people.’ You know what I’m saying? It’s louder in the SEC than it is in the NFL.’” Rowdy crowds are hardly the only beneﬁt to playing at home. Visiting teams in Denver deal with altitude. In Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and Miami in September, it’s sweltering heat and humidity. In Buffalo, Chicago, Green Bay and New England in December, it’s freezing temperatures. “I think there’ll always be some home-ﬁeld advantage for all the teams just because (of) different surfaces, different way the ﬁeld plays, the way the wind blows in each stadium. There’ll always be a little bit of that,” Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said.

The settlement fund has so far paid about $720 million to retired players for neurocognitive problems linked to NFL concussions, including more than $300 million for dementia. The dementia claims have proven especially contentious — three-quarters of them have been denied, often after challenges from the NFL. Lawyers for ex-players Kevin Henry and Najeh Davenport said their clients were denied awards “based on a discriminatory testing regime” that weighs demographic factors including race. Both men would have qualiﬁed for awards had race not been considered, they said. “Black former players have been automatically assumed, through a statistical manipulation called ‘race-norming,’ to have started with worse cognitive functioning than White former players,” the lawyers wrote. That makes it harder to show they’ve suffered a deﬁ- In the deciding game, SVHS led 2-0, but allowed the next three points. The Lady Vikings were back up at 5-4, but gave up nine of the next 10 points and never led again. South Gallia capped off the 3-2 victory with a 15-to-8 win in the ﬁnale. Cara Frazee led the Lady Rebel service attack with 11 points, followed by Jessie Rutt with nine. Emma Shamblin and Bella Cochran had eight points apiece, while Natalie Johnson and Ryleigh Halley ﬁnished with seven each. South Gallia played at home for the ﬁrst time this fall on Tuesday against South Point, and the Lady Rebels be back on the road Monday at River Valley. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

In a statement, league spokesman Brian McCarthy called the lawsuit “entirely misguided.” “The settlement program … was the result of arm’slength, comprehensive negotiations between the NFL and Class Counsel, was approved by the federal courts after a searching review of its fairness, and always contemplated the use of recognized statistical techniques to account for demographic differences such as age, education and race,” the statement said. McCarthy added: “The NFL continues to be fully committed to paying all legitimate claims and providing the important beneﬁts that our retired players and their families deserve.” Christopher Seeger, the lead players’ lawyer in the litigation, said he “has not seen any evidence of racial bias in the settlement program,” but pledged to review the issue.

Brody of Philadelphia. And he said it’s up to the evaluating physician to decide whether to include race as a factor. Henry, 51, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1993-2000, said his claim was denied although he suffers from headaches, depression and memory loss that leave him unable to hold a job. Davenport, 41, who played for the Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts from 2002-2008, said he suffered more than 10 concussions, including one that broke his eye socket and left him unconscious. He was approved for an award until the NFL appealed, asking that his test results be recalculated using racial norms, Smith said. By that measurement, his claim would fail. The special master in the case has so far rejected the NFL’s appeal, but asked that Davenport’s doctor justify his ﬁndings. The motion, along with a second potential class-action ﬁling, asks Brody to bar race as a factor in the calculations, and let any Blacks tested in such a manner have their scores recalculated if their dementia claims were denied. The settlement pays up to $3 million for a moderate dementia ﬁnding, although the average dementia award, including both early and moderate dementia, is just under $600,000. “The NFL has a choice to make, and the choice is between treating the lives of its Black players like they matter, or continuing with the current course,” Smith told The Associated Press. The settlement, expected to cost the NFL more than $1 billion, spared the league a trial over claims that it long hid what it knew about the link between concussions and brain injuries. The settlement fund is designed to cover more than 20,000 retirees suffering from brain disorders that include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia. A website run by the claims administrator does not break down information on awards by race. Smith believes that racial disparities would be evident if it did. The ﬁling Tuesday comes as the NFL prepares for its Sept. 10 season opener. The league, which was in the middle of its offseason when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, still plans to play a full schedule, though many games will take place in empty stadiums.

Court: Private company workers can’t sue over urine tests COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Private company workers who provide drug test urine samples under direct observation can’t sue over invasion of privacy, a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. The court’s 4-3 decision overturned a lower-court decision that had sided with two former employees of a plastic Livestock housewares company in northeastern Ohio. The company said the employees lost their right to sue when they agreed to the test under the company’s substance abuse policy. The employees unsuccessfully argued that Ohio law recognizes a right to unreasonable invasion of privacy.
