In the U.S., nearly 3.2 million laid-off workers applied for unemployment benefits last week, the government announced, bringing the running total over the past seven weeks to 33.5 million. When the nation’s April unemployment rate comes out on Friday, it is expected to be as high as 16%, a level not seen since the Depression. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio bars and restaurants can fully reopen in two weeks, on May 21, with outside dining allowed a few days earlier, on May 15, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Thursday. Barbershops, hair salons, nail salons and day spas will also reopen May 15, the Republican governor said. Barbers and stylists will wear masks, and customers will be asked to wear masks, said Debbie Penzone, president and CEO of Charles Penzone Salons and the chair of the salon and barbershop working group commissioned by the governor. The reopening of eating establishments comes with limits, including parties of 10 or fewer and spacing between tables either by a barrier or 6 feet of distance. Gatherings such as dances won’t be allowed in bars and restaurants’ open areas, with that space to be used for now to put extra distance between tables and customers, said Treva Weaver, a restaurant owner who worked on the reopening plan. Working groups study- ing the next stage of reopening that were announced Thursday looked both at what is known about preventing the spread of the coronavirus and the needs of business owners, DeWine said. “What we’re trying to marry is the science and the practicality of that profession and business,” DeWine said. DeWine also warned that restarting Ohio’s economy also means coronavirus cases will rise. The process ahead is a marathon, not a sprint, he said. “The more contacts that we have, the more that we do, the more risk there is,” the governor said. In other coronavirusrelated news Thursday: Unemployment More than 1.1 million people filed unemployment claims in the past seven weeks as Ohio’s stay-at-home order depressed the economy and led to widespread layoffs, the state reported Thursday.

Traditionally held on the Gallia Courthouse steps, River City Fellowship Pastor John O’Brien and Gallia Commissioners Harold Montgomery and Brent Saunders welcomed viewers to the digital event where area pastors prayed and musical ministry was performed. After pastors prayed, a video was released on River City Fellowship’s Facebook page of the event for others to view. “I want to welcome everyone to Gallia County National Day of Prayer first ever Zoom (meeting),” said O’Brien. “It may be the last. I’m not sure. I want to welcome everyone watching that’s enjoying this. Because of the crazy time we’re in, we’ve just kind of had to improvise here. This is going to be simple and we’re going to pray. There’s going to be a little bit of singing.” O’Brien thanked the commissioners for joining. “We welcome everyone to this National Day of Prayer,” said Montgomery. “It’s a trying time but we feel it’s very important for us to have this prayer…” Montgomery read a proclamation the commissioners adopted recognizing National Day of Prayer. O’Brien said the point of the event was to “love people.” “I want to share out of Matthew six, verse six, and it’s talking about how to pray,” said O’Brien. “Part of me is like how are we going to do this on Zoom? Matthew 6:6 says this,’ But when you pray, go into your room and when you’ve shut your door pray to your father who is in the secret place.’ I thought, well that’s a Zoom call. That’s a Zoom prayer. Go to your room and pray to your father who is in the secret place. Jesus is teaching us when we pray to get alone, isolate, quarantine. And it says and your father who sees in secret (the See PRAYER | 3 AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Sunday and Tuesday through Friday.

You may have made some sort of gift or card for your mom or even bought one. It’s always a good thing to remember our mothers and grandmothers for all they do for us. It’s not easy being a kid these days, but it’s also not easy being a mother or grandmother, especially these last few weeks when there has been no school. There are always things that need to be done around the house, at work, and don’t forget homeschooling nowadays. Moms and grandmas usually try their very hardest to do what is best for their children and grandchildren because they love them very much. Now, that has included school work, cooking, playing games, reading, and all the other things you have done since being at home and not able to go out.

OHIO BRIEFS Bail set at $1M for man charged in teen’s murder CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio (AP) — Bail has been set at $1 million for a man charged in the murder of a teenager whose body was found near an outdoor music venue in Ohio more than three decades ago. James E. Zastawnik, 67, of Cleveland, was arraigned Thursday in Stow municipal court and did not enter a plea to his felony murder charge. It’s not known if he’s retained an attorney. The hearing came a day after he was charged in the December 1987 death of 17-year-old Barbara Blatnik. Police were called to an area near Blossom Music Center five days before Christmas after Blatnik’s nude body was found. She had last been seen when a friend dropped her off at about midnight in Garfield Heights the night before. Authorities said the teenager had been raped and strangled. Police said the charges were “based on new evidence that was provided through advancements in DNA technology.” Search firm to find interim leader for Toledo TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The University of Toledo has selected a search firm to find a temporary replacement for its outgoing president. The school’s board of trustees announced Wednesday that AGB Search will be paid $30,000 to do the work. School officials hope the interim leader can shadow Sharon Gaber before she leaves in July to become chancellor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The firm specializes in finding outside candidates, often a retired person with experience in a university president role with demonstrated financial and leadership skills. Board Chairman Mary Ellen Pisanelli said school officials thought an interim president from outside the area would be beneficial for the university, adding that internal candidates would also be considered and vetted by the firm. Gaber announced her plans to resign late last month. She became president at the University of Toledo in July 2015 and received a three-year contract extension in 2018. University officials praised her accomplishments, crediting her for increasing student retention and graduation rates, strengthening research efforts, and adding training programs aimed at diversity, inclusion and sexual assault awareness.

She also said she makes them to be affordable; something that kids could use their own money to purchase. “I could remember how special it was for me to see something I wanted for my doll and pay for it myself, and I wanted to enable other children to do the same thing, so I keep my prices low in the items I make for them.” During her time in lockdown she has been adding to her collection and coming up with new ideas such as a princess dress and action figure cape afghans for her youthful clientele. “Crocheting is something I love to do, and �����9DOOH\�'ULYH�‡�3RLQW�3OHDVDQW��:9�������‡��������������‡�SYDOOH\�RUJ �CLASSIFIEDS 4 Friday, May 8, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing REAL ESTATE FOR RENT Apartments/Townhouses Ellm View Apts.

God taught the birds to fly In all the whirlwind of change taking place today, and the “out-of-control” feelings that it is creating for us collectively, it is very important that we remember who is at the helm of the ship. There is a lot of talk about our crisis being artificially orchestrated and certain persons being intentional about having created the crisis with which we are Thom now faced. Whether or not Mollohan this is true is beyond me and Contributing beyond most of us – especially columnist given the huge torrents of divisive accusations, reports and opinions unleashed upon us. Do I believe that there is a conspiracy afoot? Of course, I do. Even if there are world leaders who plan to exploit us (or not), I know that Satan has conspired against us from humanity’s first days in the garden. He conspires even now to distract, disorient, delude, and divide the people of God. Mostly, he conspires to destroy our knowledge of God: a knowledge that is an intimate and personal experience of God’s glory, grace, love and power. That knowledge is so precious to God that He fine tunes the details of events, activities, trends, governments to accomplish His perfect plan of grace of which you and I are the recipients. So as I see all the events happening in the world today and hear (or read) the various things being said, I recall what God told an arrogant world leader named Sennacherib in Isaiah 37:26, “Have you not heard that I determined it long ago? I planned from days of old what now I bring to pass.” As I read this (especially in its context), I realize that no event taking place today has caught God off guard. He is in charge and, because He is a God of great power and love, is working all things still today in accordance with His plan of redemption and restoration with people like you and me – sinners forgiven because of the blood of Jesus Christ. That means that world events over which I have no power as well as personal situations that have unexpectedly come into my life were “planned from days of old and are now being brought to pass.” That helps me because I know that the God of love has method to the madness I think I’m facing. It helps me because I know that there is a destination – a good place – to which God is bringing me and this is the path by which I will arrive – by which all His people will arrive as they trust Him as Savior and Lord. God is working! And God is loving! He is working in your life! He is loving you even now and invites you to trust Him! “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV). One enjoyable aspect to the unfolding of spring each year, at least for some of us, is the multitude of birds which return to the landscape, flying their way back north from their southern winter retreats. Birds are fascinating creatures, delighting with their many colors, but most especially with their aerial abilities. For as long as anyone can remember, mankind has delighted in watching birds fly, and there is a lot of delight to be had in such an endeavor. Birds are marvelous pilots, though we may not always appreciate just how much skill they are exhibiting as they fly here and there, swooping and tumbling about. Yet consider the skill it takes for a song-bird to swoop into a tree, avoiding the many branches, before coming to alight upon the single one branch it had chosen, going from a breakneck speed to a dead stop in just a matter of seconds. Or consider the split second timing required by a bird of prey to swoop down upon a small victim, without crashing and breaking its neck. And such abilities are not just to be found only in the most elite of bird-flyers… every single bird has similar abilities, able to control its flight with near-perfect mastery. How do birds do it? Birds, we observe, are perfectly built for flight, from their feathers to their light bone-structure to their aerodynamic wings, ated the great sea bodies and tails. Yet creatures and every physical properties living creature that alone cannot explain moves, with which the remarkable aerial the waters swarm, stunts engaged in by according to their birds. Birds also have kinds, and every an innate instinct for flight. This instinct, Jonathan winged bird accordexhibited by birds as McAnulty ing to its kind. And soon as they begin Contributing God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:21; trying to flap their Columnist ESV).” wings, is what allows When we consider the myriad species of feathered flyers to perform the creation of God, and its many marvels, we can their many astounding agree with God that it was aerial feats. Even birds indeed good. without parents to teach Now consider that the them, are soon able to massame God who taught the ter their abilities, most of them flying within the first birds to fly, is willing to month of life. And, as soon teach us. God, the scripas they are airborne for any tures say, “teaches us more than the beasts of the length of time, they begin earth and makes us wiser to naturally perform the than the birds of the heavsame amazing feats as all ens (Job 35:11; ESV).” the rest of their species. God wants to teach us. Instincts, such as those He wants to care for us, possessed by birds, are and He wants to raise us one of the many glaring up. One of the beautiful holes in the theory of promises made by God to evolution. There is no His people is found in the known mechanism by which a creature can pass prophet Isaiah: “they who wait for the Lord shall on learned knowledge to renew their strength; they its offspring, and, in fact, it is generally understood shall mount up with wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:31a; that learnt behavior is ESV).” never passed on. So, the Unlike the birds, we are question remains, how did not born knowing all we birds learn how to fly so need to know to soar spiriwell? tually. God has designed The biblical answer us so as to require actual is, of course, that God designed and created birds instruction. We must learn to trust. We must learn to fly from the beginning how to obey. We must and that every flying bird that has ever been hatched learn to love one another as God has commanded. came into the world Yet, if we will receive with instincts already instruction, the results are programmed into its biological makeup. “God cre- no less remarkable than the flight of any eagle or songbird. Spiritually, God has created us to have the capability to rise to heights greater than any bird has ever flown. He has given us the ability, if we will unlock it through training, to discern good from evil, to practice loving-kindness, and to make the world around us a better place. He has given us the capacity for a joy greater than any expressed by a bird in song, and He has promised us that if we will but follow Him, He will guide us to a heavenly and eternal home. Sometimes men, in their folly, distrust the ability or wisdom of God to actually lead them aright. When we are tempted to such doubts, we might do well to consider how well God has taught the birds to fly. God does all things well and wisely, and as Jesus reminded us, humanity is worth more to God than any bird (cf. Matthew 10:29-31).

Today’s Highlight in History On May 8, 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced on radio that Nazi Germany’s forces had surrendered, and that “the flags of freedom fly all over Europe.” (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 24 ½ years, is the author of Led by Grace, The Fairy Tale Parables, Crimson Harvest, and A Heart at Home with God.

In 1846, the first major battle of the Mexican-American War was fought at Palo Alto, Texas; U.S. forces led by Gen. Zachary Taylor were able to beat back Mexican forces. In 1958, Vice President Richard Nixon was shoved, stoned, booed and spat upon by anti-American protesters in Lima, Peru. In 1970, anti-war protests took place across the United States and around the world; in New York, construction workers broke up a demonstration on Wall Street. In 1973, militant American Indians who had held the South Dakota hamlet of Wounded Knee for 10 weeks surrendered. In 1978, David R. Berkowitz pleaded guilty in a Brooklyn courtroom to murder, attempted murder and assault in connection with the “Son of Sam” shootings that claimed six lives and terrified New Yorkers. (Berkowitz was sentenced to six consecutive life prison terms.) In 1984, the Soviet Union announced it would boycott the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1987, Gary Hart, dogged by questions about his personal life, including his relationship with Miami model Donna Rice, withdrew from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Cavs step cautiously into hopeful return to NBA season CLEVELAND (AP) — Even if the NBA doesn’t resume this season, and at this point no one knows for sure, the Cleveland Cavaliers believe it’s time to start getting ready for the next one. “Any minute that we can get working with each other is beneficial to us,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wednesday. Cleveland is one of a handful of teams planning to reopen practice facilities on Friday so players can work out as states across the country ease the socialdistancing restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought sports to an abrupt halt in March. Bickerstaff, who took over one of the league’s youngest teams in February after John Beilein stepped down midway through his first season, said the Cavs have been in contact with local and Ohio officials to ensure they’re following the proper protocol to protect personnel. Only four players will be permitted at a time inside the team’s facility in Independence, Ohio, which has been closed for nearly two months. The Cavs intend to hold twohour sessions during which only one player and one developmental coach — wearing gloves and a mask — will be permitted at the same basket. Bickerstaff said safety is paramount. The Cavs’ medical staff will take the temperature of every person before entering the building, and there will be areas off limits. Also, the team intends to designate and mark basketballs for each player so there is no cross-over and everything will be meticulously cleaned. “The league is recommending that they keep 12 feet between one another, so you’re there basically rebounding for a guy and passing to a guy,” Bickerstaff said during a Zoom conference call. “No one is being pressured to do anything. If people feel uncomfortable doing this, it’s not mandatory for them to show up. We’ve got some guys on staff that are willing to do it.” The league is trying to ensure that no team has a competitive advantage by opening their facility. Many teams cannot, some of them possibly for several more weeks, because of local governmental regulations. The situation remains fluid. Bickerstaff spoke to reporters shortly after he and other coaches were on a call with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who has been invited by the National Basketball Players Association to speak to players in a call on Friday. Bickerstaff remains hopeful the league will be able to enact a plan so the Cavs can get back on the floor. After months of tumult, they were beginning to click and had gone 5-6 under Bickerstaff, who feels his team was meshing and headed in the right direction. “I’m excited about it,” he said. “Obviously the further things go, the longer people are separated, you have to do more creative things. With the way we were moving, I think this separation will make people more excited to get back together and I think we can springboard off that excitement whenever it is that we’re able to get back together.” In the meantime, he’s going to stay focused on coaching. His tenure as a stay-athome teacher during the quarantine was short. “It lasted about two days and the kids revolted,” he said with a laugh. “So I made the decision that was best for everybody was for me to leave them alone and let my wife handle that. I teach P.E. class now, I figure that’s in my wheelhouse.” Damian Dovargane | AP file Video screens show images of Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis in a plaza across from Staples Center, home of two NBA teams, an NHL team and a WNBA team, in Los Angeles. There’s a clear desire for basketball to resume but, perhaps mindful of how rushing back too quickly hurt other leagues around the world, the NBA seems to be taking very cautious baby steps back to the court. NBA is proceeding with extreme caution By Tim Reynolds Associated Press The NBA says some players can voluntarily return to their team practice facilities starting Friday, with some very specific conditions and only in places where local and state governments have signed off on such openings. It’s unclear how many players will be back on the floor Friday when the league ban gets lifted. Miami is allowed to open its doors for the first time in six weeks but won’t until at least Monday while it works out certain logistical details. Orlando isn’t going to welcome players back immediately either. Same goes for Utah, the first NBA team to deal with the coronavirus after Rudy Gobert tested positive March 11 and the league shut down almost immediately. And most teams aren’t allowed to open yet to because of local rules. Basketball hasn’t been played in two months and the league, the teams and the players still seem to have a universal desire to get back to work, finish this season and crown a champion. But, perhaps mindful of challenges other leagues have faced in their efforts to resume play amid a coronavirus pandemic that has shut down the sports world, the NBA seems to be moving with extreme caution. “The biggest goal is to have the confidence of the players and the staff that they can enter the facility safely,” Utah general manager Dennis Lindsey said. Simultaneously, everybody wants to play, and everybody wonders if it’s safe to play. It’s like all parties involved know that a major misstep now could doom any realistic chance of playing anytime in the next few months. “Our task force at the league is studying how do we get back to playing basketball again, following the data, looking at every possible model,” Magic CEO Alex Martins said this week while addressing an Orlandoarea economic forum. And opening the practice courts is only Phase One. Phase Two, who knows when that will come. It’s not imminent. Games are not close. Getting players back into facilities is not a precursor to games being played, it’s more about keeping them out of public gyms and playgrounds that are starting to reopen. Positive tests during individual training or practices could delay or destroy plans for games. There are some reasons for hope. The NBA is still working toward a plan to test players if the season resumes. It has exchanged data with leagues across the world, and there have been some success stories. Baseball is being played again in South Korea. MLS teams returned to fields Wednesday for workouts with restrictions. Germany’s top soccer league has allowed players to return to training facilities, even though some staff and players have tested positive. It’s the NBA’s turn to start seeing where it stands. “There’s been this unprecedented collaboration and communication among scientists across the world right now,” said Dr. John DiFiori, the NBA’s Director of Sports Medicine. “What’s going on sports medicine sort of parallels that at a much different level of course. But there is an awful lot of that going on across the world right now. It’s at least daily communication in one way, shape or another with colleagues across the world in all these different leagues, because we’re all learning from each other.” The rules that NBA teams will have to adhere to when they resume even the voluntary workouts are like none previously put in place. A 12-feet buffer between everyone, one player per basket, one ball per basket, no more than four players in the facility at once. Everyone must wear masks and gloves, the lone exception being players while they work out. Every player must undergo cardiac screening before resuming voluntary workouts. Spalding, which makes NBA basketballs, has even developed a plan that has been sent to teams for how to clean the balls after workouts: wipe them down with a solution made from a quarter-teaspoon of dish soap like Dawn mixed with a gallon of water, then further wipe them down with just water, allow them to air dry, then spray the balls with a disinfectant. “We’re all analyzing information and talking through what-ifs and trying to learn little details that could make a difference,” DiFiori said. “It’s literally a constant, daily process.” Cleveland is among the teams planning to open its doors to players Friday, along with Portland and Denver. By next week, a few teams will have players back at work and getting shots up again. “We will be opening up in a soft opening … at some point, soon,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said in a chat on the NBA’s Twitter channel Wednesday night. “There’s a flickering of a light that we’re all feeling right now, but I think it’s also important that we all stay extremely aware and vigilant as we take See NBA | 10 �SPORTS 10 Friday, May 8, 2020 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Rio hosting Jim Marshall Memorial golf outing JACKSON, Ohio — The Veterans Association at the University of Rio Grande will host their 3rd annual Jim Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 13, at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County.

NCAA waives minimum on scholarship spending The NCAA approved a waiver that will allow schools to spend below the minimum level on athletic scholarships required to compete in Division I. The Division I Council Coordination Committee approved two other blanket waivers Wednesday that had been requested by several conferences in recent weeks in response to coronavirus pandemic. Basketball and football players will be allowed to participate in summer athletic activities without being enrolled in school. Also, schools that are in the process of moving to D-I can be counted toward the minimum required Division I opponents. The coordinator committee also signed off on waiving some recruiting rules to provide more flexibility for coaches and athletes through the extended dead period. The dead period for all sports currently runs through May 31. The committee will decided at its May 13 meeting to extend the dead period through June 30. The scheduling and scholarship waivers were part of a broad request made by the commissioners of the five non-Power Five FBS conferences two weeks ago on behalf of all Division I. The conferences had also requested a blanket waiver on the minimum number of sports required (16) to compete in Division I, but that was denied. Schools will still be able apply for a waiver to the sport minimum on a case-by-case basis. Division I schools are required to offer a minimum of 200 athletic grants-in-aid per year or spend at least $4 million in grants-in-aid on athletes, and provide 90% of the permissible maximum grants-in-aid in football over a rolling two-year period. Those minimums will be waived for one year. “This waiver does not provide relief from other financial aid rules, including financial aid commitments to prospective and current studentathletes or regulations related to the cancellation or reduction of financial aid,” the NCAA release said. NBA From page 9 these incremental steps forward.” If all goes right, most teams may be back within two or three weeks. Maybe in June, they can practice. Maybe in July, the season can resume. There are countless hurdles to clear by then, the testing issue foremost among them. It is far from certain that the season gets saved. But getting back onto the court is a good first step, even if the NBA is taking baby steps on the way there.

Also on the response team will be the infection control officer, the team’s head athletic trainer; the team physician, if he or she is not serving as the local physician; the human resources director; the team’s chief of security; its mental health clinician or someone with equivalent clinical expertise; and a member of the club’s operations staff such as the facility manager. The league also is establishing workplace protocols that require face coverings unless a person is in a closed office. The orders also stress minimum contact, sufficient distancing, the gradual and phased return to in-person work, and continued “telework” and remote meetings to reduce the number of people at the facility. That includes adjusted hours and even shifts across all employees. Business travel is discouraged unless essential. Visitors and service providers on site will be limited and there will be no direct contact with fans — no retail activity or in- person ticket sales. Employees, including players, of course, will be encouraged to take their temperature routinely at home before heading to the team facility and to remain at home if their temperature is elevated. There will be daily screenings for all employees reporting to work, as well as visitors, contractors, and service providers who enter the club facility. “We will continue to work in a deliberate and thoughtful way to plan for the 2020 season, including with (Thursday night’s) schedule release,” Goodell said, “and we will be prepared to address any contingencies as they arise.” Pro Football HOF teams with Project Isaiah CANTON, Ohio (AP) — When David Baker heard about Project Isaiah and its goal of feeding families in need during the coronavirus pandemic, there was no question what the Pro Football Hall of Fame would do. “Once we learned the details behind Project Isaiah, it was an easy decision to say ‘yes’ enthusiastically and join as a partner,” the president and CEO of the hall said. “The mission, values and vision at the heart of Project Isaiah and at Gate Gourmet align wonderfully with those of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.” Immediately, some hall inductees got involved, led by wide receiver Cris Carter, who grew often going hungry in Dayton, Ohio, with six siblings and one parent. “I needed food when there wasn’t no pandemic,” Carter, who played 15 seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins, told the Hall of Fame. “This would have destroyed my family.” Carter recognized that having the hall’s living members — “Gold Jackets” — help the airline cater- ing company Gate Gourmet on the food relief program was a natural. “We’re going to try to raise some resources for these people and to raise some awareness,” said Carter, who asked other Gold Jackets to donate at least $100 to the cause. “Being a Hall of Famer, it’s about being a leader on and off the field,” he said. “Our commitment, our values, our integrity, the courage we had to play at the highest level — we’re just trying to show that to people right now who just need people to believe in them.

Teams understand COVID-19. were told that the study NBA teams were told Associated Press t Celebra e would also help doctors understand the prevalence of COVID-19 among infected individuals who were asymptomatic or experienced only mild symptoms. “From a team perspective, and saying this broadly across all teams, participation across the NBA allows for more robust information from the community at large in providing prevalence data,” said Dr. Jimmie Mancell, the team physician for the Memphis Grizzlies. It’s a relatively simple process: Teams will receive materials from researchers, then have phlebotomists collect specimens that will be shipped back to the Mayo Clinic. Participants will also have to fill out a survey to gauge their level of potential exposure. Within two days, test results will be known — and because this is about antibodies, it will not take resources away from those doing other testing to identify those who are sick with the virus. Additional goals of the study include being able to identify more patients who could donate plasma and improve care for patients who are dealing with the coronavirus, plus potentially move researchers closer to a vaccine.
