The planes flew over ACMC, UH Geneva Medical Center and UH Conneaut Medical Center to honor Ashtabula County first responders. TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The number of people dying from the coronavirus in Ohio’s nursing homes has continued to increase at an alarming pace. Close to 500 residents of long-term care centers have died in the past three weeks, according to data released by the state this week. That’s nearly double the total reported for the previous two weeks. The increase in deaths could be attributed to a significant jump or a backlog of cases being added over the past week, said Melanie Amato, a spokeswoman for the state health department. Since mid-April, more than 4,300 nursing home residents and staff members have tested positive for the virus. The numbers, though, don’t tell the entire story of how the virus has devastated nursing homes during the pandemic because the Ohio Department of Health has only released the totals for just the past three weeks. Before that, the state didn’t require local health departments to report nursing home deaths linked to the virus so any numbers collected before mid-April may not be accurate, Amato said Friday. Overall, the nursing home deaths reported since April 15 account for 40% of all the virusrelated deaths in Ohio since the first one was reported in mid-March. Seven counties across the state have seen more than 30 deaths at longterm care centers in the past three weeks. Toledo and Lucas County reported the most, 65, which doubled the number from last week. Franklin and Mahoning counties both had 46 nursing home deaths during that time.

Local traffic will need to use other county roads. From page 1 a final decision on the fate of the 2020 festival, worry over the financial impact on the Chamber has been at the forefront of the committee member’s minds. “While the River Recreation Festival is a fundraiser for the Chamber, whether or not it’s profitable at all is dependent on a lot of outside factors, like the weather, sponsorship levels and costs,” said Gallia County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Elisha Orsbon. “We rely heavily on sponsorships, as well as fundraisers, in the hopes we at least break even each year, which is not always the case. We were already forced to cancel two fundraisers this year and we do not want to be a burden to our businesses for sponsorships or donations, when we know they are struggling, as well.” The biggest expense for the festival is the fireworks show, which is often contracted multiple years at a time. This year was no different and, regardless of whether the festival moved forward, the Chamber would be responsible for the cost of the fireworks. They could delay it, but not cancel it. According to the press release, “That’s when Thomas Do It Center stepped in to help, agreeing to fully sponsor the 2020 fireworks display.” “As a long-time Chamber member and supporter, we wanted to help lift that burden and also ensure there would be a 2020 fireworks show and River Recreation Festival in Gallipolis,” said General Manager Autumn Thomas. The press release continued, “Their sponsorship, the first full sponsorship received in many years for the fireworks display, will ensure the Chamber doesn’t lose money, regardless of what ultimately happens with the festival, just because of the cost of the fireworks display.” “I don’t know that we will make any money if we are able to hold some version of the festival, whether it’s in July or later in the year, but we won’t be struggling thanks to Thomas Do It Center’s sponsorship and for that, we are extremely grateful,” Orsbon said. On their reasons for deciding to sponsor the fireworks, Thomas said, “As a locally owned business, Thomas Do It Center has always been deep-rooted in community events, especially those revolving around youth. We believe in investing in the community that also supports us by choosing to shop local for new home builds and remodeling supply. We have a huge appreciation for the Gallia residents who choose to patronize family owned business, as opposed to traveling out of town to make their purchases.” Due to its essential status, Thomas Do It Center was able to remain open during the Ohio Stay-At-Home Order that shut down many businesses, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t felt the impact, according to the press release. “COVID-19 has put a difficult spin on business this year. Business from day-to-day can be very unpredictable. Staffing has been a huge challenge, as we accommodated several employees who chose to home quarantine. Hiring during the pandemic has been nearly impossible, yet we still need to meet public demand for customer service,” said Thomas. “Staying open during the pandemic has come with a huge amount of responsibility. Responsibility to our employees and community to keep our store at low risk, disinfected and comply with frequently changing government regulations.

About half of its more than 200 long-term care centers have had residents with the virus—with some of the larger facilities recording as many as 100 cases, he said earlier this week. The biggest frustration has been with the lack of personal protection equipment, especially gowns, and testing kits, Gloth said. “Long-term care is an after thought,” he said. The worry now is that the shortages will increase as states are lifting orders that had stopped non-essential medical procedures, he said. Cases The number of confirmed and probable deaths associated with the coronavirus in Ohio has reached 1,306, state health officials said Friday. The department noted more than 23,000 presumptive and confirmed cases of the virus, including just over 4,200 hospitalizations. For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple of weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems Jenco From page 1 Services, Father Jenco was an inspiration to many, including fellow captive Anderson, because of his compassion and service to others. The Jenco Foundation joined the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) in 2011 as an endowment to ensure that it can forever honor Father Jenco’s legacy by recognizing unsung heroes throughout Appalachian Ohio. “The Jenco Awards are designed to recognize people in our community who devote themselves to improving the lives of those around them through service and active leadership in their local communities,” said Jack Wright, a Jenco Foundation Fund committee member. “With these awards, we are able to shine a light on those individuals and the remarkable work they are doing throughout our region that may otherwise go unnoticed.” The Jenco Awards recognize individuals of all ages for their service contributions. Their service demonstrates direct, caring action that contributes to the quality of life of individuals living in Appalachian Ohio. Their commitment to others is not simply a part of their daily jobs or for a school project; it is a passion. Last year’s recipients provide an example of the wide-ranging visionary leadership in the service of others that the Jenco Awards recognize: Cathy Barney of Clermont County started “Artsy Fartsy Saturdays” to provide a free, weekly opportunity to access the arts for 4th to 6th grade kids in her community’s subsidized housing development. Dottie Fromal of Athens County started Nelsonville’s Thursday Night Community Dinner to provide home-cooked meals around the table for the children served by the after-school center where she works.

Bexley City Council cited constitutional concerns and the risk of further inciting protesters in its decision not to move forward on Wednesday, according to The Columbus Dispatch. Protesters upset with Acton’s stay-at-home orders rallied outside her house over the weekend and again Monday.

Sunday Times-Sentinel MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS The importance of adequate nutrition Adequate nutrition is incredibly important during uncertain times like this to ensure our immune systems are in tip top shape to help fight off infection. When the immune system fights off unknown pathogens, the human body actually requires more calories and nutrients to replace what is lost. Foods that help boost the immune system have vital macro and micronutrients that assist in ensuring an active immune system. The information in this article is being presented in hopes of helping Meigs County residents make healthy choices from home. To begin, adequate nutrition is defined as “able to fulfill a need or requirement without being abundant”. This means that a diet focused on variety, eating fruits and vegetables, and choosing lean protein contributes to an active immune system during times of infection. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends the following daily servings: cell growth and Fruits: 2 cups wound healing. per day This important Vegetables: mineral can be 2.5-3 cups per found in foods day like oysters, red Grains: 3-4 meat, poultry, ounces of whole beans, nuts, whole grains per day Erin grains, fortified Protein: 5.5Swatzel 6.5 ounces per Contributing cereals, and dairy products. day columnist Aside from the Dairy: 3 cups micronutrients per day Oils: allowance of 6-7 listed above, simply consuming adequate teaspoons per day protein also plays a Some vitamins and huge role in the body’s minerals that are benimmune system.

Meigs County title office reopens POMEROY — The Meigs County Clerk of Courts Title Office will now accept public inperson access Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., effective immediately, stated Clerk of Courts Sammi Mugrage in an update on Friday. “As before, there is no higher priority than the safety and wellbeing of the people we serve and our staff. However, we find it necessary to begin offering title services within the Courthouse again. Of course, it will look a bit different. Our office will take the following proactive steps to ensure your safety, as well as ours, and yet provide you with the service you need. It is important that we take these actions to continue to limit gathering and physical contact while continuing to work for you. Remember, the best thing you can do is to take precautions to protect yourself, your family and your community,” said Mugrage. Mugrage stated, customers will be assisted on a first come, first served basis and will need to enter through the front door just outside of the title office. An intercom will be available for you to page a staff member to allow you in. You will be required to wear a face mask, or other face covering, prior to entering the building. You will also be asked a series of questions before entrance will be granted. Please maintain at least 6 feet between each individual, including employees. Once you have been waited on, please exit through the side door of the Courthouse leading to the Sheriff’s Office. All surfaces and high-touch areas will be cleaned after each customer.

All six later tested negative, the White House said. The official said staff in the West Wing are tested regularly but much of Pence’s staff — which works next door in the Executive Office Building — are tested less frequently. Katie Miller was not on the plane and had not been scheduled to be on the trip. Pence, who is tested on a regular basis, was tested Friday. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said the administration was stepping up mitigation efforts already recommended by public health experts and taking other unspecified precautions to ensure the safety of the president. Meadows said the White House was “probably the safest place that you can come,” but he was reviewing further steps to keep Trump and Pence safe. The White House requires daily temperature checks of anyone who enters the White House complex and has encouraged social distancing among those working in the building. The administration has also directed regular deep cleaning of all work spaces. Anyone who comes in close proximity to the president and vice president is tested daily for COVID-19. “We’ve already put in a few protocols that we’re looking at, obviously, to make sure that the president and his immediate staff stay safe. But it’s not just the president, it’s all the workers that are here ... on a daily basis,” Meadows said.

President Donald Trump, who publicly identified the affected Pence aide, said he was “not worried” about the virus spreading in the White House. Nonetheless, officials said they were stepping up safety protocols for the complex. Pence spokeswoman Katie Miller, who tested positive Friday, had been in recent contact with Pence but not with the president. She is married to Stephen Miller, a top Trump adviser. The White House had no immediate comment on whether Stephen Miller had been tested or if he was still working out of the White House. Katie Miller had tested negative Thursday, a day before her positive result. “This is why the whole concept of tests aren’t necessarily great,” Trump said. “The tests are perfect but something can happen between a test where it’s good and then something happens.” The positive test for the senior Pence aide came one day after White House officials confirmed that a member of the military serving as one of Trump’s valets had tested positive for COVID-19.

The day is an event to honor the contribution of mothers, acknowledge the efforts of maternal bonds and the role of mothers in our society. Mother’s Day 2020 occurs on Sunday, May 10. The official Mother’s Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis of West Virginia. Following her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children. In the years before the Civil War, Ann Reeves Jarvis (Anna’s mother) helped start “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” to teach local women how to properly care for their children. These clubs later became a unifying force in a region of the country still divided over the Civil War. In 1868 Jarvis organized “Mother’s Friendship Day,” at which mothers gathered with former Union and Confederate soldiers to promote reconciliation. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made it a national holiday. Although Jarvis had promoted the wearing of a white carnation as a tribute to one’s mother, the custom developed of wearing a red or pink carnation to represent a living mother or a white carnation for a mother who was deceased. Over time the day was expanded to include others, such as grandmothers and aunts, who played mothering roles. , s D ay r the10, 2020 o Happy M ay M From: OH-70185884 To: Mom Rick McDaniel Income Tax Services MASS SCHEDULE HOLY DAYS Sat.

CENTENARY, Ohio — It’s not a participation medal, but rather an honor for staying committed throughout the years. The Ohio Valley Conference announced on Thursday that every senior tennis athlete at each school had been honorarily named to the 2020 All-OVC teams, which would normally be determined by the coaches at the end of the regular season. With the 2020 spring sports season being cancelled before it even began due to concerns with COVID-19, none of the eight schools within the OVC managed to get a single match in this year. Still, the OVC decided that the best way to honor all of its tennis seniors that lost their final season of prep competition was to give each of them allleague accolades. Kirsten Hesson was the lone honoree on behalf of Gallia Academy. Only three schools in the OVC had tennis seniors this year, and Ironton accounted for five of the seven all-league selections. The Fighting Tigers were represented by Ethan Bennett, Todd Davidson, Elizabeth Gillespie, Faith Hughes and Aiden White. Jairemiah Brown of Portsmouth was also an All-OVC recipient. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. Bryan Walters can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2101. Kicking off: Texans at Chiefs to open season Sept. 10 By Barry Wilner Associated Press The Kansas City Chiefs will open defense of their Super Bowl championship by hosting Houston on Sept. 10 in the NFL’s annual kickoff game — pending developments in the coronavirus pandemic, of course. The Texans won a regular-season game at Arrowhead Stadium in 2019, then blew a 24-0 lead in the divisional round of the playoffs. Another highlight of the opening weekend will have Tom Brady’s regular-season debut with Tampa Bay against Drew Brees at New Orleans on Sept. 13 — the first matchup of 40-plus quarterbacks in NFL history. The opening of SoFi Stadium in the Los Angeles area that Sunday night has the Rams hosting the Cowboys. Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will debut on the Monday night, Sept. 21, with the Raiders facing Brees and the Saints. All of the 32 teams released their schedules early Thursday evening, with the full 2020 list scheduled to be revealed by the league a bit later. The Chiefs, who won their first Super Bowl in a half-century last February, need baseball’s Royals to move their game for Sept. 10, which now is part of a doubleheader two days earlier. The teams’ stadiums share parking lots. The NFL schedule, not to mention offseason activities and the preseason, has to be considered tentative given the current prohibition on large gatherings. But Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league is planning for a normal season, albeit while making contingency plans. “The league and the clubs have been in contact with the relevant local, state and federal government authorities and will continue to do so,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said. The traditional Monday night doubleheader on opening weekend will have Pittsburgh at the New York Giants, which has a rookie head coach in Joe Judge, and Tennessee at Denver. “The number one positive is we’re getting ready to play football, so that’s the biggest thing,” Judge said. “Once you get the schedule, it starts moving a little bit faster in your mind in terms of preparing for what’s in front of you.” Top overall draft pick Joe Burrow and the Bengals start off against the sixth overall selection in April’s draft, Justin Herbert and the Chargers at Cincinnati. The Bengals also will face the other highly rated rookie quarterback Tua Tagavailoa and the Dolphins in Week 13. New England, without Brady at QB for an opener for only the second time since 2001 — he was suspended for the first four games of 2016 — hosts Miami on the opening Sunday. Thanksgiving games will have Houston at Detroit, Washington at Dallas, then one of the league’s fiercest rivalries with Baltimore at Pittsburgh in the night game. Late-season Saturday games will be scheduled but with undetermined matchups for flexibility, something the NFL has done previously. Certain to draw heavy early season interest will be the past two league MVPs, Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson, facing off in Week 3 on Monday night at Kansas City. The Chiefs and Ravens each have five prime-time games, as do New England, Dallas, Green Bay, Tampa Bay, defending NFC champ San Francisco, and the Rams. Detroit and Washington have no prime-time outings. There’s one Friday night contest, on Christmas, when Minnesota visits New Orleans. Every team has two home and two away games in the first month of the schedule.

Ohio cancels American Legion baseball season LANCASTER, Ohio – There will be no return trip to Beavers Field this summer for Meigs Post 39. The 2020 Ohio American Legion baseball season was officially canceled on Monday due to concerns with the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, American Legion canceled all its regional tournaments across the country, as well as the American Legion World Series, which is held in Shelby, N.C. in August. The Ohio High School Athletic Association had already canceled the high school season. The state American Legion tournament was scheduled to be played July 29-Aug. 1 at Beavers Field in Lancaster, which would have also been the 30th season of hosting the Ohio American Legion state baseball tournament. Meigs Post 39 won the District 8 title last summer to advance to the Ohio American Legion state tournament, the first for the area since Feeney-Bennett Post 128 accomplished the same feat in 2007.
