Ohio governor remains confident health director can be hired By Andrew Welsh-Huggins Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio will be able to hire a health director despite concerns about criticism a candidate might face, Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday, addressing last week’s turn of events during which his new director withdrew her name just ﬁve hours after it was announced. DeWine said he respected the decision by former South Carolina Health Director Dr. Joan Duwve to reject the job on Sept. 10. She cited unspeciﬁed personal reasons, then issued a statement the next day saying she learned the previous health director’s family had been harassed by the public. “Sometimes you don’t fully grasp things — this happens to me — until you kind of get into something and you see it more,” DeWine said. Dr. Amy Acton abruptly resigned as health director in June following a torrent of conservative criticism over her public health orders to slow the spread of the pandemic. That included armed protesters outside her suburban Columbus house and protests outside the Ohio Statehouse with signs bearing anti-Semitic messages. Acton is Jewish. “While I have dedicated my life to improving public health, AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC my ﬁrst commitment is to my family. I am a public ﬁgure. My family is off limits,” Duwve said in her statement last week. “I withdrew my name from consideration to protect my family from similar treatment.” DeWine said Tuesday that Duwve had been told of the protests Acton faced during the interview process. The Republican governor said he doesn’t believe criticism about his administration’s handling of the coronavirus, which has also included multiple efforts by fellow House and Senate Republicans to curtail his public health order powers, will dissuade someone from taking the job. “We’re Midwesterners, we’re Ohioans, we’re tough, we’re strong, we’re resilient,” DeWine said. “And with that go people who have strong opinions.” The Republican governor said that in the meantime, he receives daily help from top medical ofﬁcials around the state. He said Tuesday that the state’s approach to the pandemic, which includes mandatory social distancing and mask orders, will continue until a vaccine is found and it’s widely adhered to. Nationally, dozens of state and local public health leaders have resigned or have been See DIRECTOR | 4 Virtual Komen Walk set for Saturday (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Ohio reported 1,001 new cases Tuesday, below the 21-day average of about 1,100. The state has reported almost 140,000 conﬁrmed and probable cases of COVID-19, along with 4,506 deaths. Also this week, a private Ohio high school warned students who recently attended a large house party that they have two choices: acknowledge they were there and quarantine for two weeks, or risk expulsion. The president of Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls said the party involving at least 100 students jeopardized the whole school community’s health and safety because of the risks of spreading the coronavirus. Photos and videos showed students not wearing masks and not social distancing, President Karl Ertle said. Adults were there, and the parents had contacted the school in advance to understand existing restrictions for student gatherings, but the event apparently got out of hand, Ertle said. The start of a new school year has heightened concerns about risks of the virus spreading among students of all ages. College campuses around Ohio have reported more than 5,000 positive cases over the past several weeks. The vast majority of those involve students. Ohio State University has had more than 2,200 cases. Miami University and the University of Dayton reported more than 1,200 cases each. Another 600-plus cases have been reported by other campuses around the state, spread across more than a dozen public and private schools. Congestion or runny nose; Nausea or vomiting; Diarrhea. This list does not include all possible symptoms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID19. Preventing the flu and COVID-19 The biggest difference between allergies, asthma, ﬂu and COVID-19 is that the ﬂu and COVID19 can be avoided if you practice proper protection methods. Avoid close contact with sick people. Whenever possible maintain 6 feet of separation and sanitize your hand regularly and use a cloth facial covering to contain any droplets and prevent infecting others. Good handwashing methods include washing regularly for 20 seconds with soap and water and using hand sanitizer that is at least 60 percent alcohol. To avoid getting others sick, stay home and self-isolate if you feel unwell or have a fever. Don’t touch your face if your hands are not clean and remember to wash your washable face masks. For more information about asthma and allergies or to schedule an appointment with Dr. John Wade, please call 304-675-1244. Dr. Wade’s ofﬁce is located at 2414 Jefferson Avenue in Point Pleasant.

Less than ﬁve weeks after pushing fall sports to spring in the name of player safety during the pandemic, the conference changed course Wednesday and said it plans to open its football season the weekend of Oct. 23-24. All 14 teams will play eight regular-season games in eight weeks, plus have an opportunity to play a ninth game on Dec. 19 when the conference championship game is in Indianapolis — if all goes well. That should give the Big Ten an opportunity to compete for the national championship. The Big Ten said its Council of Presidents and Chancellors voted unanimously Tuesday to restart sports. The vote last month was 11-3 to postpone, with Ohio State, Iowa and Nebraska voting against. “We’re in a better place, regardless of how we got here or how painful it was during the time we waited to get this moment,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said. “That’s all behind us. What’s beautiful is that we have a process and protocols in place that’s based on science and based on lessons learned since Aug. 11.” The decision to play came after sharp pressure from coaches, players, parents and even President Donald Trump, all of them pushing for a Big Ten football season. The conference is home to a number of battleground states in the November election, and Trump swiﬂy applauded the move in a tweet. The emergence of daily, rapid-response COVID-19 testing, not available when university leaders decided to pull the plug on the fall season, helped trigger a re-vote. The Big Ten said it will begin daily antigen testing of all its fall sport athletes, coaches and staff Sept. 30. Northwestern President Morton Schapiro, chairman of the presidents’ council, said the turning point for him on giving the green light to football — even though many students have not been allowed back on the Evanston, Illinois, campus — didn’t come until this past weekend. “Medical opinions changed,” Schapiro said. “Paul Samuelson, the great economist was once asked why he changed his mind. And he said, ‘When the facts change, the mind changes.’” Team positivity rates and population positivity rate thresholds will be used to determine whether teams must halt practice or play.

Wahama rolls past Lady Panthers By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com MASON, W.Va. — The Lady Falcons just keep rolling along. The Wahama volleyball team picked up a seasonbest third consecutive victory on Tuesday night following a 25-10, 25-8, 25-8 decision over visiting Lincoln County in a non-conference matchup at Gary Clark Court in Mason County. The Lady Falcons (5-1) never trailed in the ﬁrst two games and were down 4-0 to the Lady Panthers early in Game 3, but the hosts broke away from a 6-all tie with 19 of the ﬁnal 21 points to wrap up the straightgame triumph. The Red and White — following a thrilling 3-2 win at Calhoun County just 24 hours earlier — wasted no time establishing control against LCHS after jumping out to a quick 7-0 edge. The Lady Panthers rallied back to within a point at 7-6, but Wahama answered with a 15 of the next 18 points for a commanding 22-9. Lincoln County broke serve and closed to within a dozen points, but the hosts countered by winning the ﬁnal three points for a 15-point win and a 1-0 match advantage. The Lady Falcons jumped out to leads of 5-0 and 10-1 before taking a permanent doubledigit lead at 14-4. The guests twice closed to within 11 points, but WHS broke away from a 17-6 lead with an 8-2 run that wrapped up the 17-point win for a 2-0 match cushion.

The South Gallia volleyball team — which dropped a 3-1 decision to South Point on Aug. 25 in Mercerville — took its revenge on Monday in Lawrence County, defeating the Lady Pointers 3-1 in non-conference play. The Lady Pointers led for the ﬁrst time at 11-10 in the opening set, but South Gallia (2-5) was back in front at 13-12. South Point regained the edge by scoring ﬁve of the next six points, but SGHS battled back to tie it at 18. South Gallia also tied it up at 19, but gave up the next ﬁve points and eventually fell 25-22 in the opener. The Lady Rebels fell behind 6-2 early in the second game, but took the lead at 8-7. After three more lead changes the teams were tied at 16. South Gallia scored the next eight points and held on for a 25-21 win, tying the match at a game apiece. The teams exchanged the lead six times in Game 3, with the Lady Rebels establishing the advantage for good at 16-15. SGHS won the third game by a 25-20 count, leading by as many as seven points in the set. The fourth game also featured six lead changes, the ﬁnal of which saw South Gallia take a 24-23 edge. The Lady Rebels followed it up by scoring the next point to seal the 25-23 victory and the 3-1 win, snapping a ﬁve-match skid.

(AP) — Just about everyone had L.A. vs. L.A. written in for the Western Conference ﬁnals. Then along came the resilient Denver Nuggets, who crashed the party. Behind Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets advanced to the conference ﬁnals for the ﬁrst time since 2009. They will face LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers starting Friday in Game 1. But this was no ordinary road. The Nuggets fell behind 3-1 in their ﬁrst-round series against Utah before bouncing back with three straight victories. Then they went down 3-1 to the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round before win- ning in Game 7 again. They made history, too, becoming the ﬁrst NBA team to rally from a 3-1 series deﬁcit twice in the same postseason. As expected, Denver is an underdog against the Lakers. Murray & Co. are used to it. “Everybody counts us out. It’s fun to silence everybody,” Murray said. “We love it.” The last time the Nuggets were in the conference ﬁnals they faced the Lakers as well, losing in six games. That squad was coached by George Karl and boasted Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony. The Lakers were led by the late Kobe Bryant and would go on to win the NBA title over Orlando. This time, Denver features a play-making point guard in Murray and a center who thinks of himself as a point guard in Jokic. Combined, they’ve helped the Nuggets go 6-0 in elimination games this postseason. Pressure doesn’t bother them. “It’s just fun, the journey,” Jokic said. “This is an interesting team. We don’t have many superstars.” Actually, they have two burgeoning stars in Murray and Jokic. In the Game 7 win over the Clippers, Murray scored 40 points while Jokic ﬁnished with 16 points, 13 assists and 22 rebounds. The Nuggets are playing with an abundance of conﬁdence, no matter the deﬁcit. They were down by double digits in Games 5, 6 and 7 but came back to win each time. “We are not accepting that someone is better than us,” said Jokic, whose squad beat San Antonio last season in Game 7 before losing to Portland in seven games. “They really need to beat us and need to play much better than us. … When we start playing for each other and you see the ball is ﬂowing and the defense and everybody has everyone’s back, it’s really fun.” Denver certainly quieted the noise around the Clippers, who hoped the additions of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George would lead them to their ﬁrst-ever conference ﬁnals — and beyond. But LA’s stars fell ﬂat. “It hurts. It hurts. But we move on,” George said. “Year 1 together, ﬁrst run together, of course we wanted to win this. But we’ve been very optimistic about us being together and building something going down the road.” After a quick celebration Tuesday — of the win and coach Michael Malone’s 49th birthday — the Nuggets will be ready to get back to business. “We know what we got,” Murray said. “We’re a top-four team in the league and we’re trying to push to be No. 1. … We’ve got a squad that we believe in each other and know we can go out there and win it.” Peyton Manning, Charles Woodson 2021 HOF candidates By Barry Wilner D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Logan Mankins; defensive linemen Jared Allen, Justin Tuck Peyton Manning and Charles and Kevin Williams; linebacker Jerod Mayo; and defensive Woodson are among 14 ﬁrstyear eligible candidates for the back Charles Tillman.

Big 12 feeling blue after 0-3 weekend against Sun Belt LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Maybe the Big 12 Conference should have followed the lead of the Big Ten and Pac-12 and opted out of playing college football this fall. Or at least opted out of scheduling the Sun Belt. The lower-tier conference went 3-0 against the Power Five league over the weekend, a stunning performance highlighted by LouisianaLafayette’s romp over then- athletes and surrounding communities,” said Dr. Jim Borchers, team physician for Ohio State.

Arkansas State also won at Kansas State and Coastal Carolina went to Kansas and outclassed the Jayhawks in what may have been the best day in the history of the league. “You saw today what the Sun Belt is. We didn’t want to let the Sun Belt down,” Chanticleers coach Jamey Caldwell said after their 38-23 win over the Jayhawks, a game that ended said of the blowback. “And so I take that from a positive standpoint.” The Big Ten postponed fall sports just six days after unveiling a modiﬁed conference-only schedule that was set to begin Labor Day weekend, and indicated it would try to make up the season in the spring. But there was no plan in place and the reaction was sharp. Trump at one point called Warren, who described their conversation as “productive” and “respectful.” The Pac-12 followed the Big Ten in postponing, but was far more detailed in its explana- just after midnight and capped the upset-ﬁlled Saturday. “Just proud of the effort,” Caldwell said, “and hopefully the people back on the East Coast and in Conway were up to see it.” If not, they certainly took note of it Sunday. That’s when the latest AP Top 25 was released with schools from the Big Ten and Pac-12 and elsewhere tion and also had more obvious hurdles to clear. Half the Pac-12 schools are still operating under statewide restrictions that make it impossible for teams to practice. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott released a statement Tuesday saying the conference has not been given the goahead by state ofﬁcials in California and Oregon to begin preparing for a football season. “We are hopeful that our new daily testing capability can help satisfy public health ofﬁcial approvals in California and Oregon to begin that are not playing this fall ineligible for the ranking. That opened the door for voters to select 10 newcomers for the poll.

Arkansas State received the sixth-most votes of schools that are just outside the Top 25. contact practice and competition,” he said. The conference is also dealing with wildﬁres across the West. As the Big Ten and Pac-12 bailed in August, the other three Power Five conferences forged ahead, along with three other major college football leagues. Games have started, with the Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference kicking off last week. The Southeastern Conference is scheduled to start playing games Sept. 26. Meanwhile, the Big Ten was on the sideline, with coaches struggling to explain to players why other teams could play but they could not. In Nebraska, the school president, athletic director and coach Scott Frost all expressed disappointment. Frost even suggested Nebraska might look outside the Big Ten to play games while eight of his players ﬁled a lawsuit against the Big Ten over its decision to postpone. Glen Snodgrass, father of one of the players, Garrett Snodgrass, was teaching a class at York (Nebraska) High School when he received word of the reversal. “This is what a lot of people have been ﬁghting pretty hard for,” he said. “I can’t say enough about those eight boys and what they had the courage to do. They worked their entire lives to get where they are, and they just wanted to play.” Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez said Big Ten teams can begin practicing immediately. The schedule comes with a twist. On championship Saturday, the plan is to provide each team an additional game, matching the teams by their places in the division standings: No. 2 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 3 and so on. Alvarez said those matchups could be tweaked to avoid rematches of regular-season games. The third Big Ten schedule of the year, Alvarez said, should be ready in about a week. “We’re excited and we can’t wait to get started,” Michigan State linebacker Antjuan Simmons said.
