Early voting to begin Oct. 6 By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — It is just two months until Election Day and the Meigs County Board of Elections is preparing for not only election day voting, but early voting and absentee voting for the Presidential Election. Meigs County voters will be able to cast their ballots through any of the three types of traditional voting for the Nov. 3 Presidential General Election — early in-person voting, absentee voting or in-person voting at polling places on Election Day. Ohio’s early voting period begins on Oct. 6 and runs through Nov. 2. The Meigs County Board of Elections has set up the lobby as an early voting area with three voting machines separated to allow for privacy to vote and social distancing to meet COVID-19 guidelines. “This is where things will look different. Normally, we have 4-6 voting machines set up in our office and 10-20 people in our office at a time. This will not be possible to safely do with social distancing.

According to a press release from Gov.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio’s elections chief said Tuesday that he continues to take steps to head off a potentially chaotic November election, including adding clarity to absentee ballot request forms, tracking poll worker recruitment and upgrading his website so the potentially large number of outstanding absentee ballots will be clearly visible on Election Night. Secretary of State Frank LaRose said it would be a “nightmare scenario” if a candidate inaccurately declared victory based on incomplete, unofficial results. “The old election official’s prayer is, ‘Lord, whoever wins, let them win big,’ right?” he said during a Statehouse briefing. “So we know that’s not always the case here in Ohio. We’ve had some tight margins in the past. Ohioans make you earn your victory. Nobody gets an easy ride here.” He said reporting the number of outstanding absentee ballots is designed to make it “abundantly clear” if one candidate has defeated another or if more counting is needed to determine the victor. LaRose emphasized that results reported Nov. 3 — or into the morning of Nov. 4 — will still be unofficial, as always, with official results reported weeks later. Also to avoid disenfranchise- ment, LaRose urged voters to be wary of the words and deeds of some fellow Republicans, reiterating an “effective deadline” of Oct. 27 for requesting mail-in ballots that precedes the actual GOPpenned cutoff by four days and labeling President Donald Trump’s advice that people vote twice as “misinformation.” “Certainly, that doesn’t fall in the disinformation protocol that our office has set up, but it does fall into the category of I guess what you would call misinformation,” he said during a Statehouse briefing. “Where something incorrect was said and it’s my responsibility See ELECTION | 2 �2 Wednesday, September 9, 2020 OBITUARIES OBITUARIES/NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS CLIFFORD LAWRENCE ADAMS REEDSVILLE — Clifford Lawrence Adams, 86, of Reedsville, Ohio, passed away Monday, Sept. 7, 2020, at his daughter’s residence.

He said Ohioans may receive similar applications in the coming weeks from other sources, including political parties, candidates and ideological groups — and that’s perfectly legal. But he said there’s no need to send in duplicate requests, which add work for local boards. He noted the ballots themselves will not be mailed out until Oct. 6, when early in-person and absentee voting begins. Voter registration ends Oct. 5. “The message loud and clear should be: Submit your absentee ballot requests, but you only need to submit one of those,” he said. The voteohio.gov website allows voters to track the balloting process. LaRose said application forms have been redesigned this year to try to prevent two of the most common mistakes: Writing in the current date where one’s date of birth should be, and forgetting to sign where requested. He said he’s allowed county election boards to address such issues by phone or email this year, rather than by mail, in hopes of speeding warnings on chain-restaurant menus.

That’s why forms ask for a phone number and email address, he said. LaRose continues to lobby for the necessary clearance to pay postage on all ballots. His request is set for a vote by the powerful state Controlling Board on Monday. He said it’s too late to preprint the postage on envelopes, so if the request is approved, his office will purchase stamps in bulk that local boards will adhere to envelopes themselves. He said all the policy arguments he’s heard against prepaid postage have been based on inaccurate information and he is hopeful for a positive vote. Prepaid ballot postage doesn’t advantage one party over another, LaRose said, and is likely to prompt voters to turn around their completed ballots sooner. Poll workers are still needed in counties across the state, LaRose said, and he’s begun tracking recruitment by county to show who’s ready and who’s not. He said five separate recruitment programs are in place, encouraging participation by younger citizens, working Ohioans, charities, military veterans and licensed professionals. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing COVID-19 pitalizations) 90-99 — 8 cases (5 hospitalizations) 80+ — 1 deaths (ODH From page 1 does not breakdown age Antibody tests check your over age 80) Of the 152 total cases, blood by looking for anti119 of the individuals are bodies, which may tell you listed as recovered/not if you had a past infection active, an increase of 29 with the virus that causes recovered cases on ThursCOVID-19.

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services will issue this second round of benefits later this month to eligible children. Ohio previously issued more than $250 million in P-EBT benefits to more than 850,000 students through the program in the spring. Parents do not need to apply to receive these benefits.

MU biomechanics director earns award, professional appointment Staff Report HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Dr. Suzanne Konz, director of the Marshall University biomechanics programs, was on sabbatical last year, during which time she earned the Dr. C. Harmon Brown award from USA Track and Field and was appointed chair of the National Athletics Trainers’ Association (NATA) Committee on Professional Ethics. According to a news release, the Brown award is made annually to an individual whose work in the sports medicine and science field has benefited the athletes and coaches of USA Track and Field (USATF) on the national level. The award is named for the late Dr. C. Harmon Brown, an endocrinologist at the University of California at San Francisco, who was a pioneer in the field of sports medicine. He served as the chairman of the Sports Sciences and Medical Committee for two decades, along with chairing the USATF’s High-Performance Sports Science group. “I was privileged to know Harmon for several years before he passed in 2008,” Konz said. “Harmon’s innovation to create the USATF High-Performance group was ahead of its time. I attended my first USATF Sports Science events in the spring of 2003, covering the indoor weight at the USATF Indoor Championships in Boston, followed by the Penn Relays hammer throw a month later. I was hooked on the hammer and sports science. I have been fortunate to travel throughout the United States and the world as a result of my work with USATF and hammer throw. It is so exciting to watch the men and women hammer throwers be successful and improve. It is so inspiring to watch them achieve their dreams through the years of hard work.” Konz has worked with USATF indoor weight and hammer throwers for almost 20 years, and in our way to making Ohio that can accommodate the most innovative social distancing.

Herd hammers Eastern Kentucky By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — All was well with Wells in the end. Redshirt freshman quarterback Grant Wells made his first collegiate start look pretty easy after completing 16-of23 passes for 307 yards and four scores Saturday afternoon during a 59-0 drubbing of Eastern Kentucky in the season opener for both programs at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Wells — a product of George Washington High School in Charleston — connected on his first eight pass attempts, which resulted in 176 yards and a pair of scores while helping the Thundering Herd (1-0) build a 21-0 first quarter lead. Wells tacked on two more touchdown passes in the second canto and entered halftime with 280 passing yards, all while leading MU to a commanding 38-0 cushion at the break. The Green and White added their second and third rushing scores of the day — all by different backs — during a third quarter that saw the hosts increase the lead out to 52-0 headed into the finale. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Luke Zban replaced Wells in the fourth and went a perfect 6-for-6 passing in his collegiate debut, which included a 3-yard touchdown pass to Amir Richardson with 4:02 left in Marshall defensive lineman Jamare Edwards (99) tries to deflect a pass attempt during the first quarter of Saturday afternoon’s season-opening football game against Eastern Kentucky in Huntington, W.Va. regulation that wrapped up the 59-point outcome. It was the largest margin of victory for Marshall in a season opener since defeating Morgan State 62-0 back in 2016. The Herd has now won 10 straight season openers and improved to 12-81 overall against EKU following their fourth consecutive triumph. The 307 passing yards by Wells ended up being a new school record for any MU quarterback in his debut performance. His four touchdowns also put him in a 3-way tie atop the record books in a debut. Marshall scored touchdowns on its first four drives and ended up coming away with points on all but two of its 11 offensive possessions in the game. Those scoreless drives also ended the first half and fourth quarter. Wells found Xavier Gaines on a 22-yard pass with 12:19 showing on the first quarter clock to establish a permanent lead of 7-0, then Brenden Knox added an 8-yard scamper with 8:04 remaining for a 14-point cushion. Wells connected with Talik Keaton on a 21-yard touchdown pass with 2:01 left in the opening canto for a 21-0 edge. Grant Morrell hauled in a 2-yard scoring pass from Wells with 10:02 left in the half, then Shane Ciucci nailed a 23-yard field goal at the 6:07 mark for a 31-point advantage. Jaron Woodyard hauled in a 42-yard bomb from Wells with 3:07 remaining for a comfortable 38-0 cushion entering the break. Sheldon Evans and Lawrence Papillion added touchdown runs of six and 13 yards, respectively, during the third stanza, giving the Herd a 52-0 lead entering the finale. Marshall did not punt the ball once in the contest and finished the game with a 34-7 advantage in first downs. The Herd outgained the Colonels by a 627-166 overall margin in total yards, including a 282-86 edge on the ground. MU finished the day plus-1 in turnover differential as Nazeeh Johnson picked off a pass late in the first quarter. Knowledge McDaniel led the Marshall rushing attack with 93 yards on 14 carries, followed by Knox with 85 yards on 18 attempts. Broc Thompson led the wideouts with five catches for 67 yards. Thirteen different Herd receivers caught at least one pass. Tavante Beckett and Eli Neal led the MU defense with eight tackles apiece.

Wednesday, September 9, 2020 7 OHSAA committed to tourneys despite cuts By Tim Stried For Ohio Valley Publishing COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association plans to move forward with tournaments for all 26 of its sanctioned sports this school year, but will make cuts in other areas due a significant decrease in revenue from the cancellation of tournaments earlier this year and greatly reduced attendance permitted at upcoming tournaments. Member schools were notified of the changes on Thursday. The OHSAA Board of Directors recently approved the cuts to OHSAA office and each of the six District Athletic Boards, which coordinate the sectional and district tournaments in several sports. OHSAA member schools have not paid annual membership dues since 1998, but those fees could be collected in the future. As a private non-profit association, the OHSAA does not receive any tax dollars. Eighty percent of the association’s revenue comes from ticket sales at postseason tournament contests. The other 20 percent come from corporate partners and officials dues. The OHSAA has 815 member high schools and approximately 760 member 7th and 8th grade schools. The OHSAA currently has 18 full-time staff members. Of note, the OHSAA dual team wrestling tournament has been suspended indefinitely, although the individual wrestling tournament, which will be in its 83rd year this year, will pro- ceed as planned. “Our mission remains the same – to serve our member schools and enrich interscholastic opportunities for students,” said Bob Goldring, OHSAA Interim Executive Director. “That means we have an unwavering commitment to continue administering some of the best interscholastic athletics tournaments in the nation and honor our tradition of excellence. But the prospect of conducting all of our tournaments for the 2020-21 school year with spectator capacity limits of 15 percent, with no more than 1,500 permitted for outdoor events and 300 for indoor events, has already had a significant impact on the Association from a financial standpoint. Since the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic became a reality for the OHSAA, the Association has undergone major modifications to our business practices and overall procedures. This has included cuts of not only personnel but also salaries and benefits for full-time staff. We also have explored new, untraditional revenue streams that could prove to be beneficial, but even those are not guaranteed with the status of the world’s economy and no real end in sight for the pandemic.” The cuts were based on recommendations from the OHSAA Interim Executive Director’s staff following discussions that included the OHSAA Finance Committee, OHSAA Board of Directors members, executive directors from other state high school athletic asso- ciations and extensive internal deliberations that were headed by the OHSAA’s finance office. As previously noted, these recommendations come after the Association has already undertaken numerous financial measures, including cuts and new processes and procedures. “We need to make some unprecedented changes to our tournament financial model during the 2020-21 school year in order to ensure that we can continue to provide the overall outstanding services that our membership expects and to make certain that our programs continue to complement each participant’s educational experience,” said Goldring. Cuts and Other OHSAA Financial Changes Include: · Standard Ticket Pricing: All sectional and district tournament tickets will be sold online at $8.00. · Presale Ticket Shares/ Bonuses: Football and basketball presale ticket shares/bonuses will not be paid out to member schools participating in 202021 OHSAA tournaments. · Online Tickets: Presale tournament tickets will be available for all sports and will be sold online. At this point we do not expect gate tickets will be offered. · Team Tournament Expenses: No team expenses will be paid to member schools participating in 2020-21 OHSAA tournaments. · Tournament Entry Fees: $25 tournament entry fees will be incorporated for the following sports: boys and girls bowling; boys and girls golf; gymnastics; boys and girls cross country; boys and girls tennis; boys and girls track & field, and boys and girls swimming & diving. As OHSAA “emerging” sports, boys and girls lacrosse will continue to have a $100 fee per gender. · Other Fees: Bowling tournament lane fees and golf tournament greens fees will not be paid by the OHSAA in 2020-21. · Tournament Suspension: The regional and state dual team wrestling tournaments will be suspended for the 2020-21 school year (although the 83rd season of the individual wrestling tournaments will continue). Other recent changes made by the OHSAA include: · Reduction of three full-time staff positions and 20-percent pay cut for senior staff members, along with suspension of retirement contributions for all staff members. In addition, all part-time staff and intern positions have been eliminated. · Suspension of several OHSAA publications, including OHSAA Magazine, the School Directory, Year in Review and Pocket Calendar. · Suspension of the OHSAA Radio Network. · Suspension of video production for annual public service announcements. · Printing the OHSAA Handbook in-house and continue printing many state tournament programs in-house. Tim Stried is the Director of Communications for the OHSAA. Browns starting C Tretter returns to practice CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns could have their man in the middle for Sunday’s opener. Starting center JC Tretter returned to practice Monday after being sidelined all of training camp following right knee surgery, and it’s not out of the question that the veteran could play this week against the Baltimore Ravens. Tretter, the NFLPA’s President, had surgery on Aug. 13 just before the Browns opened camp under first-year coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns have not said if Tretter injured his knee in the days leading up to camp or if surgery was required for a pre-existing condition. “It was good to have JC back out there,” Stefanski said follow- ing Monday’s workout, which was moved indoors because of thunderstorms. “Not going to get into the extent to which he was back out there, we’ll deal with that on Wednesday. But good to have him out there in his pads.” It’s too early to know if Tretter, who has not missed a game in three seasons with Cleveland and played through a severely sprained ankle and other injuries, will be allowed to play against the Ravens. Rookie Nick Harris has been working with Cleveland’s first-team offense and the fifth-round pick from Washington has been impressive. Tretter, though, has experience and has faced Baltimore’s stout defense six times. “Obviously JC’s a vet- eran, he’s seen a lot of football,” Stefanski said. “There’s value in that. He’s a leader of the football team. So really good to have him out there today.” The Browns could take a cautious approach with Tretter since they’ll play their home opener against Cincinnati on Sept. 17, just four days after visiting Baltimore. Tretter’s return could stabilize a rebuilt Cleveland offensive line with just two starters back from last year’s primary group. Free agent signing Jack Conklin has taken over at right tackle with rookie first-round pick Jedrick Wills on the left side after playing his college career at Alabama on the right side. Steady Pro Bowler Joel Bitonio is at left guard with Wyatt Teller taking over at right guard. In other Browns injury news, starting linebacker B.J. Goodson remains away from the team for personal reasons, but Stefanski expects him back soon. “B.J. has been great for us in the meeting room and on the grass,” Stefanski said. “He is just a very high-energy player. You hear him before you see him. I am really excited about what B.J. brings to our defense.” Also, starting cornerback Greedy Williams continues to be sidelined with a shoulder issue and his status for Sunday is unclear. The Browns are also missing cornerbacks Kevin Johnson (lacerated liver) and M.J. Stewart Jr. (hamstring). College basketball floats idea of bubbles for safety By John Marshall been scattershot.

Ned Lamont also said there have been preliminary talks for bubble basketball at the Mohegan Sun resort. “The idea of a bubble would be a really good idea, just to isolate all the teams who want to play against each other in that bubble and keep things safe, keep away from the public and keep us in our own area where we’re able to play the game the right way and safely,” Duke sophomore forward Wendell Moore, Jr. said.

According to a book written by Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, Trump said that Mandela, who guided South Africa in its politically fraught transition from a racist apartheid government to a democracy, was a terrible leader.
