Mike DeWine. Now there are widening cracks in his foundation of support and signs that his greatest challenges will comes this month as the state slowly reopens. The sense of solidarity across the state as Ohio endured the initial stages of DeWine’s stay-at-home order appears to be fraying as residents take a scattershot approach to mask-wearing in public, some restaurant owners threaten open revolt, and anger builds over what businesses are allowed to open their doors. The governor said Monday that as more people go back to work and into stores over the next few weeks, it’s expected there will be a spike in cases, and it will be up to each individual to maintain safe social distancing to protect others. “We’re going to do everything we can to get that message across,” DeWine said. “A lot of this is falling on our shoulders as citizens.” Weekend rallies embodied the divide, as The Gallipolis Junior Women’s Club was recently recognized with a set of awards. to help achieve their goals.

National Correctional Officers Week POMEROY — The first full week of each May is celebrated to honor correctional officers across the United States. “The Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and Victims Assistance Program extends their gratitude to the many men and women who work in jails, prisons, and community corrections. These individuals play a substantial role in our judicial system and uphold the mission of correctional ideologies such as retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation across the United States,” stated Meigs County Prosecutor James K. Stanley in a news release. On May 5, 1984, President Ronald Regan signed Proclamation 5187 creating National Correctional Officers Week stating: “Historically, correctional officers have been viewed as ‘guards,’ occupying isolated and misunderstood positions in prisons and jails. In recent years, the duties of these officers have become increasingly complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill, simultaneously, custodial, supervisory and counseling roles. The professionalism, dedication and courage exhibited by these officers throughout the performance of these demanding and often conflicting roles deserve our utmost respect. The important work of correctional officers often does not receive the recognition from the public it deserves. It is appropriate that we honor the many contributions and accomplishments of these men and women who are a vital component of the field of corrections.” Information provided by the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office.

The Ohio Department of Health lists the person as having a symptom onset date of April 29. This is the date symptoms first appeared, not necessarily the date the person was tested. According to information provided by the health department, a confirmed case is defined as an individual with a positive laboratory result for COVID-19. A probable case is defined as an individual who has not been tested for COVID-19, but is likely to have the illness based on close contact with a confirmed or probable case, symptoms, and/or exposure to an area with ongoing community spread. A probable case must also have no alternative diagnosis, such as influenza or strep throat. The first two individuals have recovered from COVID-19, according to the health department. The definition of recovered being used by the Meigs County Health Department is “showing no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 and completing the entire quarantine period.” None of the three have been hospitalized. Both Meigs County lab confirmed cases have been what is labeled as “community spread”, meaning the person had no history of travel to areas where the virus is prevalent or known contact with an infected person. “At this time, we please ask residents to refrain from calling the Health Department for questions regarding this case while we complete our disease investigation and notify relevant individuals. Individuals identified as contacts of the case will be advised to self-quarantine for 14 days. We urge residents to continue to practice good social distancing and follow the state issued Stay Safe Ohio Order. The changes we make can continue to save lives, thank you for your continued cooperation,” state Meigs County Health Department Public Information Officer Brody Davis. Gallia County continues to have six cases of COVID-19, five confirmed and one probable.One case resulted in the death of a Gallia resident. One Gallia resident has also recovered from the virus. Two are currently hospitalized due to issues with the virus and two are isolated at home. Those statistics have remained unchanged since the April 12 report of the fifth confirmed case and one probable case. In neighboring Mason County, West Virginia, there have been 12 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Last week, the Mason County Health Department reported 10 of those 12 cases were considered recovered. As of the 2 p.m. update on Monday, Ohio is reporting a total of 20,474 cases, including 19,609 cases are confirmed cases. There have been a total of 1,056 deaths related to COVID-19, with 975 of those as confirmed COVID-19 deaths.

We have never had to ask for help before,” says Janeth, with tears winding their way down her cheeks. full names because they are in the country illegally and could face deportation. Their immigration status, their problems with English and scanty access to the Internet all combine to block them from accessing the U.S. government benefit programs that millions more newly jobless citizens are able to turn to during the outbreak. Before the pandemic, food policy experts say, roughly one out of every eight or nine Americans struggled to stay fed. Now as many as one out of every four are projected to join the ranks of the hungry, said Giridhar Mallya, senior policy officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for public health. Immigrants, African Americans, Native Americans, households with young children and newly jobless gig workers are among those most at risk, said Joelle Johnson, senior policy associate at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. before we would have a problem providing those services you just discussed from your perspective,” said Smith. “Again, I’ve always said as a commissioner my job is to represent every person and to try and fund every department best we can.” “This is the third week you’ve been in here,” continued Smith while addressing Boothe. “Again, it is my position, you say you have the money that’s why I bring these other things up. You’ve had the money to pay this insurance but you’ve chosen not to. As we’ve pointed out to you when you’ve been in here before, if you would choose not to pay this, it would fall back to the general fund’s responsibilities. As I’ve said the last several weeks, I am anticipating a major financial crunch (due to COVID-19 economic concerns). I’m trying to look out and provide the best services for everyone we can. With that said, I cannot support allowing you to finance this. We’ve checked it, there’s no way we can force you to pay it, so I would have to be against this.” Boothe rebutted Smith’s statements by saying that there had been engineers before him who had not paid CORSA liability insurance and that there were state legal opinions saying that engineer offices were not required to do so but may. He indicated it was the county’s legal responsibility to pay liability insurance. Smith said that were the engineer’s office to fail to pay for the trucks, that it would fall back onto the county general fund to pay. “My only comment here, I do see where you have the ability I think to pay (for the trucks), if it’s your top priority,” said Montgomery. “It all comes down to priorities.” The vote was taken after discussion. the state Department of Public Safety in Columbus, about 50 protesters gathered outside, said Lt. Craig Cvetan of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. In Columbus, a restaurant owner backed off a threat to reopen, but said he’s talking with other restaurant operators about a plan to reopen regardless of whether the governor lifts the ban, The Columbus Dispatch reported. New details about when and how restaurants can open fully will be announced within the next several days, DeWine said. DeWine already was coming off a rough week. His normally disciplined COVID-19 messaging took a beating on Tuesday when he walked back a directive that customers must wear masks in stores, and then dropped a surprise gift to retailers on Friday, allowing them latitude for reopening under limited measures more than a week earlier than originally promised. “The message is very confusing for people,” said Gabriel Barrow, whose family owns a jewelry store in Toledo that has stayed open with limited hours because it sells batteries for digital thermometers and watches. The store was busier on Friday than it had been in the past three weeks combined, with some customers wearing masks and other choosing not to, he said. DeWine said reopening Ohio is a “balancing” act between bringing the economy back while protecting people, and added that he will be prepared to take action should the situation worsen again. The goal now is to prevent further spread of the virus and manage the peaks, Acton said. “Coming down the mountain is a lot harder than going up it,” she said. More coronavirus developments in Ohio: Cases The number of confirmed and probable deaths associated with the coronavirus has reached 1,056, state health officials said. The Ohio health department posted figures Monday indicating 975 confirmed deaths and another 81 probable deaths associated with the virus. The department noted more than 19,000 confirmed cases of the virus and a probable total of more than 20,000. For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple of weeks.

Judge to resign A county judge plans to step down before his term ends this year because he doesn’t want to risk bringing home the coronavirus to his wife, who he said has medical issues. Sandusky County Common Pleas Court Judge John Dewey, who did not seek re-election after 44 years on the bench, told The (Fremont) NewsMessenger he has only been going to his office after-hours to avoid contact with people and he will submit his resignation once his replacement can be considered.

Samantha Mugrage Clerk of the Court Meigs County, Ohio 5-5-20,5-12-20,5-19-20 �Sports 6 Tuesday, May 5, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Byron scores 3rd iRacing victory of NASCAR’s series John Raoux | AP William Byron celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the second of two NASCAR Daytona 500 qualifying auto races at Daytona International Speedway, in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Feb. 13. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — William Byron showed he’s the sharpest gamer in NASCAR’s iRacing Series with his third victory in four events. Byron passed Timmy Hill with seven laps remaining at virtual Dover International Speedway, where NASCAR was scheduled to actually race Sunday, to win yet again on the iRacing platform. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has consistently been the best of the NASCAR professionals in simulated racing. Alex Bowman won last week at virtual Talladega Superspeedway, so Hen- drick drivers have now won four consecutive iRacing events. “I’ve enjoyed this iRacing Series, but I’m definitely ready to get going in my real car,” Byron said. “Racing anything, whether it’s a box car or anything with an engine, is going to give you confidence if you are winning.” He said that in all his years using iRacing, he’s never been in such competitive events since NASCAR launched the invitational esports series after the stock car series was suspended March 13. Denny Hamlin earned the pole in qualifying, but NASCAR successfully applied an invert — a glitch last week prevented the top 10 from flipping before the race began — so Ross Chastain cycled into the top starting spot. Hamlin had his race ruined last week when his daughter accidentally turned his simulator screen off with a remote control she was holding as he was competing. He made sure to hide all remotes before Sunday’s race, but after an incident with John Hunter Nemechek, he seemed to be deliberately wrecked by Nemechek later in retaliation. It brought out a late caution and a restart with nine laps remaining and Hill leading Byron at the green flag. Byron didn’t need to use a bump-and-run — the move Hill used on Byron to win the virtual race at Texas Motor Speedway — and easily passed him on the inside with seven laps remaining. Hill finished second and was shown at times racing with his cat on his steering wheel. “William has done a great job through this iRacing invitational,” Hill said. “I just wish I could get another win. I’ve had such tremendous support from everyone in the racing community through this; this has been a blast and really brought us all together. We’ve really had a lot of fun racing all these races, but I can’t wait to get back and see everyone’s faces.” NASCAR will complete its iRacing Series next Saturday at North Carolina’s deserted North Wilkesboro Speedway, a track last raced by the national series in 1996. Overgrown with weeds and clearly neglected, Dale Earnhardt Jr. last year led a group of volunteers in cleaning the speedway so it could be mapped for use in iRacing. AP SPORTS BRIEFS NFL moving London, Mexico City games to US The NFL is moving its five games scheduled for London and Mexico City this season back to U.S. stadiums because of the coronavirus pandemic, two people with knowledge of the switch told The Associated Press. All five regular-season games will be played at the stadiums of the host teams, the people said, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the decision has not been announced publicly. Scheduled were two home games for the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London and two at Tottenham’s new facility, with the Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins as hosts. The Arizona Cardinals were set to be the home team for the game at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Opponents had not been announced. The NFL has staged regular-season matches in London every year since 2007. Since 2013, the Jaguars have hosted one game there each season. Mexico City has had a regular-season game in 2016, 2017 and 2019. Dalton comes home to Texas as Prescott’s backup Andy Dalton is coming home to Texas as Dak Prescott’s backup with the Dallas Cowboys. Dalton and the Cowboys agreed Saturday to a one-year deal that guarantees the former Cincinnati starter $3 million and could be worth up to $7 million. The agreement was first reported by ESPN. The Cowboys reached a deal with Dalton two days after he was released by the Bengals. That moved cleared the way for No. 1 overall draft pick Joe Burrow, who led LSU to the national championship. Dalton, born and raised in the Houston area, led TCU to an undefeated season that included a Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin during the 2010 season before the Bengals drafted him in the second round. Dalton started 133 games for the Bengals and led the franchise’s best stretch of playoff appearances — five straight from 2011-15 — but couldn’t get that elusive win. Dalton’s 70-61-2 record as a starter is second best by a Bengals quarterback with at least 10 starts, trailing Virgil Carter. Dalton holds the club records for touchdown passes (204) and completions (2,757). The Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on Prescott, who hasn’t signed the one-year tender worth about $31 million. The sides have until July 15 to get a long-term contract done. Prescott played out his four-year rookie contract, becoming on of the NFL’s best bargains as 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and a twotime Pro Bowler. The 26-year-old’s representatives and the Cowboys have been working on a longterm deal for about a year. New dates set for world swim championships TOKYO (AP) — The postponed-World Swimming Championships will be held in Fukuoka, Japan, on May 13-29, 2022, the governing body of world swimming said on Monday. The date was moved back a year after the Tokyo Olympics were postponed from 2020 until 2021. The swimming championships had been schedule for July 16-Aug. 1, 2021, which clashed with the new Olympics dates. “At a time of unprecedented uncertainty, FINA hopes the announcement of these dates will allow for some clarity in planning for all concerned,” FINA President Julio Maglione said in a statement. George Widman | AP file Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula is carried on his team’s shoulders after his 325th victory, against the Philadelphia Eagles, on Nov. 14, 1993, in Philadelphia. Shula, who won the most games of any NFL coach and led the Miami Dolphins to the only perfect season in league history, died Monday at his South Florida home, the team said. He was 90. Don Shula dies at 90 MIAMI (AP) — Don Shula, who won the most games of any NFL coach and led the Miami Dolphins to the only perfect season in league history, died Monday at his home, the team said. He was 90. Shula surpassed George Halas’ leaguerecord 324 victories in 1993. He retired following the 1995 season with 347 wins, 173 losses and six ties, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997. “Don Shula was the patriarch of the Miami Dolphins for 50 years,” the Dolphins said in a statement. “He brought the winning edge to our franchise and put the Dolphins and the city of Miami in the national sports scene.” Shula became the only coach to guide an NFL team through a perfect season when the 1972 Dolphins went 17-0. They won the Super Bowl again the following season, finishing 15-2. The 2007 Patriots came close to matching the achievement by the ’72 Dolphins, winning their first 18 games before losing in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. Shula appeared in six Super Bowls and reached the playoffs in four decades. He coached three Hall of Fame quarterbacks: Johnny Unitas, Bob Griese and Dan Marino. During his 26 seasons in Miami, Shula became an institution and looked the part, with a jutting jaw and glare that intimidated 150-pound sports writers and 300-pound linemen alike. His name adorns an expressway, an athletic club and a steakhouse chain. Shula’s only losing seasons came in 1976 and 1988, but he drew increasing criticism from fans and the media in his final years and retired in January 1996, with Jimmy Johnson replacing him. Shula’s active retirement included plenty of travel and social events, but in 2000 he admitted he missed coaching. “When you do something for 26 years with an organization and have all the memories — some not so great, but mostly great memories — that’s when you miss it,” he said. Before his 1970s triumphs with Miami, Shula had a reputation as a coach who thrived during the regular season but couldn’t win the big games. Shula became the youngest head coach in NFL history when the Baltimore Colts hired him in 1963 at age 33. The Colts finished 12-2 the following season and were widely seen as the league’s dominant team. But they lost 27-0 to Cleveland in the title game, and for the next few years they continued to come up short. The humiliation was greatest in the Super Bowl to end the 1968 season. The Colts steamrolled through the NFL, finishing 13-1 and outscoring opponents by a nearly 3-1 margin. After crushing the Browns 34-0 in the title game, they were overwhelming favorites to defeat the Jets of the upstart American Football League, which had lost the first two Super Bowls. But the Colts lost 16-7, blowing numerous scoring opportunities and allowing Jets quarterback Joe Namath to control the game. The result is still regarded by many as the biggest upset in pro football history, and it contributed to Shula’s departure from Baltimore after the 1969 season. In 1970, following the NFL-AFL merger, Shula joined the Dolphins, a fourth-year AFL expansion team that had gone 3-10-1 the previous year. Miami improved to 10-4 in his first season and made the playoffs for the first time, and the 1971 Dolphins reached the Super Bowl before losing to Dallas. The following season, when Miami took a 16-0 record into the Super Bowl against Washington, Shula considered his legacy on the line. “If we had won 16 games in a row and lost the Super Bowl, it would have been a disaster, especially for me,” he said in a 2007 interview. “That would have been my third Super Bowl loss. I was 0-2 in Super Bowls and people always seemed to bring that up: ‘You can’t win the big one.’” The Dolphins beat the Redskins 14-7, then repeated as champions the following year by beating Minnesota in the title game. The post-Shula era in Miami has only magnified his achievements. More than two decades after he retired, the Dolphins haven’t been back to an AFC championship game, much less a Super Bowl. Five times under Shula, the Dolphins had a winning streak of at least seven games. They haven’t had one since. Shula was about more than winning. He supported many charities, and the Don Shula Foundation, formed primarily to assist breast cancer research, was established as a tribute to his late wife, Dorothy. They were married for 32 years and raised five children before she died in 1991. Shula married Mary Anne Stephens during a bye week in 1993. His oldest son, David, coached the Cincinnati Bengals from 1992-96. When Cincinnati played Miami in 1994, it marked the first time in professional sports that a father and son faced each other as head coaches. �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Tuesday, May 5, 2020 7 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 By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO Hank Ketcham’s �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.
