Local residents took part in a Free Ohio Now rally in Pomeroy on Saturday. Similar events were held in at least 34 counties across Ohio.

Free Ohio Now rally held in Pomeroy

POMEROY — A group
representing the Meigs
County Tea Party and
other local residents took
part in a rally on Saturday
in conjunction with Free
Ohio Now.
The rally, held in front
of the Meigs County
Courthouse, was similar
to those held in at least
34 Ohio counties on Saturday.
Organizer Terri Blackwood explained that there
are three fundamental
reasons for the rallies.
Blackwood explained
that the focus is to “free
rights from government
encroachment”, “free our
economy” and “free the
data”.
While Ohio is beginning to open up some
businesses, Blackwood
said that they want to be
sure the government will

DeWine delays
announcing reopening
of child care centers
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Ohio Gov. Mike
DeWine held off on
announcing when the
rest of the state’s child
care centers can reopen,
saying Monday that
it’s essential to get the
details right.
The plan is still being
constructed, and the
Republican governor
said he did not want to
rush the decision.
“Reopening child
care centers is simply
too important to do
so without all the best
information and protocols in place,” said DeWine, who indicated last
week that he planned to
release a plan on Monday.
With Ohio’s retail
stores opening on Tuesday and many ofﬁces
and factories already
operating, many workers are being called back

to work but don’t have
anyone to look after
their children. Only a
limited number of child
care centers that are
caring for the families
of essential workers are
currently allowed to be
open.
DeWine said he
understands that child
care is an important
part of people going
back to work, but added
he wasn’t comfortable
announcing how that
will happen until he’s
sure it’s safe for families
and child care workers.
“It really is a moral
imperative that we do
this right,” he said.

IN BRIEF

Guaidó advisers quit following
bungled Venezuela raid
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó said Monday that two U.S.based political advisers have resigned in the fallout
from a failed incursion into the Caribbean nation led
by a former-Green Beret aimed at capturing President Nicolás Maduro.
Guaido said he accepted the resignations of Juan

José Rendon and Sergio Vergara, who had signed
an agreement for a mission to arrest Maduro with
U.S. military veteran Jordan Goudreau. While that
deal fell apart, Goudreau has taken responsibility for
going ahead with a failed attack launched May 3 on a
beach outside the capital, Caracas.
Rendon said he gave Goudreau $50,000 to cover
some initial expenses, but both say the contract was
never fulﬁlled and he received no more funds.
The would-be invasion quickly became a publicity
coup for Maduro, whose security forces intercepted
most of the attackers.

WHO warns about lack of virus tracing
By Jim Mustian,
Christina A. Cassidy
and Lori Hinnant
Associated Press

NEW YORK — A
top world health ofﬁcial
Monday warned that
countries are essentially
driving blind in reopening their economies
without setting up
strong contact tracing to
beat back ﬂare-ups of the
coronavirus.
The warning came
as France and Belgium
emerged from lockdowns, the Netherlands
sent children back to
school, and many U.S.
states pressed ahead
with the lifting of business restrictions.
Authorities have cautioned that the scourge
could come back with a
vengeance without widespread testing and tracing of infected people’s
contacts with others.
In fact, fears of infection spikes in countries
that have loosened up
were borne out in recent
days in Germany, where
new clusters were linked
to three slaughterhouses;
Wuhan, the Chinese city
where the crisis started;
and South Korea, where
a single nightclub customer was linked to 85

A waiter carries beers for customers sitting on a terrace bar
Monday in Tarragona, Spain. Roughly half of 47 million Spaniards
are stepping into a softer version of the country’s coronavirus
strict confinement and are beginning to socialize, shop in small
establishments and enjoy a meal or a coffee in restaurants and
bars with outdoor seating.

new cases.
The World Health
Organization’s emergencies chief, Dr. Michael
Ryan, said that robust
contact tracing measures
adopted by Germany
and South Korea provide
hope that those countries can detect and stop
virus clusters before they
get out of control. But he
said the same is not true
of other nations exiting
their lockdowns, declining to name speciﬁc
countries.
“Shutting your eyes
and trying to drive
through this blind is
about as silly an equation as I’ve seen,” Ryan
said. “And I’m really

concerned that certain
countries are setting
themselves up for some
seriously blind driving over the next few
months.”
Worldwide, the virus
has infected a conﬁrmed
4.1 million people
and killed more than
280,000, including over
150,000 in Europe and
about 80,000 in the U.S.,
according to a tally by
Johns Hopkins University. Experts believe those
numbers understate the
true toll of the outbreak.
More than 10,000 people are involved in contact tracing in Germany,
a country of 83 million,
or about one-quarter

the size of the United
States. Other nations are
behind.
Britain, for example,
abandoned an initial
contact-tracing effort in
March when the virus’s
rapid spread made it
impossible. Now it is
recruiting 18,000 people
to do the legwork.
France’s health minister has for weeks
promised robust contact
tracing and pledged
the country would test
700,000 people per
week. On Monday, with
progress on those efforts
unclear, the nation’s
highest court ordered
the government to take
extreme care in protecting the right to privacy,
casting doubt on how to
proceed.
In the U.S., where
health ofﬁcials will be
watching closely in the
coming days for any
resurgence of the virus
two weeks after states
began gradually reopening, contact tracing is a
patchwork of approaches and readiness levels.
States are scrambling to
hire and train contact
tracers, with experts
saying the U.S. will
need to bring on hundreds of thousands of
them.

OHIO BRIEF

Authorities: Police officer
shoots, wounds man at park
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A man who authorities
said was acting strangely and speaking incoherently
in an Ohio park was shot and wounded by a police
ofﬁcer.
The shooting at Possum Creek Metropark in
Dayton occurred shortly before 8:30 p.m. Sunday,
according to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s
Ofﬁce.
Park rangers were dispatched there after a 911
caller reported the man had been speaking incoherently for more than an hour and was acting strangely
before he suddenly ran off without shoes.
A county sheriff’s deputy who happened to be
in the area on an unrelated call also responded to
the park and arrived there before the rangers. The
deputy soon found the man and sought medical help
for him because he was drinking gasoline, authorities said.
A short time later, the deputy reported the shooting had occurred, authorities said, but further
details on what led up to the incident were not disclosed. The man was shot once and was being treated at a hospital, but his name and further details on
his condition were not disclose.
The deputy was treated at the hospital for an
undisclosed medical condition and was later
released. He has been placed on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, which
is standard procedure when an ofﬁcer ﬁres their
weapon.

Pence on Monday led
the White House’s weekly call with governors
from an isolated room,
after his press secretary
tested positive Friday.
Dr. Deborah Birx and
other staffers participated as usual from a conference room in the Situation Room, Pence said,
explaining the “slightly

“We are taking the
appropriate countermeasures to protect

Pence added, according

The three experts
are scheduled to testify
before a Senate panel
Tuesday on “Safely Getting Back to Work and

Alexander, R-Tenn., will
all participate remotely.
Alexander is quarantining after a staff member
of his own tested positive for COVID-19.
The images of top
administration ofﬁcials
taking such precautions
come as states seek to
loosen economic restrictions put in place to mitigate the virus’ spread.

Trump on Monday
was complaining that
Democratic governors
were too slow in lifting restrictions in their
states.
“The great people of
Pennsylvania want their
freedom now, and they
are fully aware of what
that entails,” he tweeted.
“The Democrats are moving slowly, all over the
USA, for political purposes. They would wait until
November 3rd if it were
up to them. Don’t play
politics. Be safe, move
quickly!”
Trump was scheduled
to travel to the state on
Thursday, according to
advisories from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Alongside Trump’s
encouragement to
reopen, the administration moved Monday to
address signiﬁcant death
rates in nursing homes
and other senior care

facilities. On the call
with governors, Pence
and Birx recommended
that every occupant
and staffer be tested for
COVID-19 in the next
two weeks, with vigilant
monitoring going forward, especially of staff.

election less than six
months away, and Trump
and other incumbents
facing it in the midst of
a public health and economic crisis.
“If we do this carefully, working with the
governors, I don’t think
there’s a considerable
risk,” Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin said
on “Fox News Sunday.”
“Matter of fact, I think
there’s a considerable
risk of not reopening.
You’re talking about
what would be permanent economic damage
to the American public.”

What might
season look
like for OSU?
By Jim Naveau
jnaveau@limanews.com

Remember the good old days all the
way back in January and February when
the biggest questions about Ohio State
football were who was going to be the
back-up quarterback behind Justin Fields
and if there were enough healthy running
backs?
Now the big questions are more like will
there be a football season and what will it
look like if there is a season?
Ohio State is scheduled to open its
season against Bowling Green on Sept.
5. Michigan would open that day with a
game at Washington and Alabama would
play at USC. Notre Dame and Clemson
are scheduled to begin even earlier, with
the Fighting Irish playing Navy on Aug.
29 in Dublin and Clemson is scheduled to
go to Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
Whether those games, some games or
no games at all are played this college
football season is still an unknown which
depends on the course of the coronavirus
over the next few weeks and months.
No safety, no season. At least you
would hope that would be the most
important factor when governors, doctors, health ofﬁcials, university presidents and athletic directors around the
country make their recommendations
and decisions.
No one knows exactly what the decision
will be. But here are some possibilities:
— Somehow the coronavirus recedes
enough that teams can play all 12 of their
regular-season games, league championship games, College Football Playoff
games and bowl games.
This might be full-scale magical thinking. Or maybe it’s more like the mindset
of lottery ticket buyers who believe with
a little luck there is early retirement or a
mansion in Scottsdale in their future.
— The season starts in late September
and teams play 10 regular-season games
or maybe fewer than 10. Or maybe they
play only the conference games on their
schedule.
Attendance at games might be limited
or there might be no fans at all in the stadiums.
Some fans might be hesitant to go to
games. In a poll I did on Twitter, 58 percent of the 122 people who voted said
they wouldn’t be uncomfortable going to
games. But 28 percent said they would be
uncomfortable and 14 percent said they
weren’t sure.
Some people think if football games
are going to be played students will have
to be back on campus. But other people
disagree.
Money, of course, is a major factor in
the hope of having some sort of season
or a full season.
Ohio State, for example, makes $5
million to $7 million dollars from every
home football game. It also gets around
$30 million a year from the Big Ten’s
football television contract with ABC,
ESPN and Fox and more than $50 million a year overall from the Big Ten Network.
— The season doesn’t start until after
the Super Bowl in February. This is kind
of an idea of last resort for reasons that
go beyond playing in outdoor stadiums
in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa, Nebraska and other chilly places in
February.
If the season started in February, college football would be going on at the
same time as the NCAA basketball tournament. Also, playing the entire 2020
season and the 2021 season in the same
calendar year would raise wear and tear
issues for the players.
And many scientists and epidemiologists predict a second surge by the virus
anywhere from December to February,
especially if restrictions on social and
business interactions are abandoned too
soon.
— Some teams start on time, others
don’t. Penn State coach James Franklin
stirred things up when he said if some
teams in a league are ready to play and
others aren’t then those who are ready
should play on without the ones who
aren’t ready.
— There is no college football season. Those are words no one wants to
hear. But two or three months ago who
thought there would be no March Madness, no Wimbledon, no British Open
and so many other iconic events would
be canceled or delayed?

Miller wins WVSWA Huff Award
By Doug Huff

For Ohio Valley Publishing

SPENCER, W.Va. —
Alex Miller has been
selected winner of the
2020 Doug Huff Award
from the West Virginia
Sports Writers Association.
Miller, a Roane County
High School senior, died
suddenly and unexpectedly Sept. 13, 2019, on
the football ﬁeld in Clay
County.
“The award is given
to a high school senior
athlete who exhibits leadership, hustle and determination plus the intangibles beyond the blackand-white statistics,” the
Association announced.
“Alex exhibited all of

those positive qualities, and more, and
is posthumously
recognized.”
His parents,
Sean and April
Miller, accepted
Miller
the plaque. “This
award means a
lot to our family to keep
Alex’ memory alive. We
love how our community
and state pulled together
and honored our son,” his
father said.
The Doug Huff Award
is named for the fourdecade secretary-treasurer of the WVSWA, who
is one of only ﬁve U.S.
media members inducted
into the National High
School Sports Hall of
Fame. Awarded since
2015, the recipients are

listed on the wvswa.
org website.
Besides the
award, the 5-foot8, 140-pound wide
receiver was selected to an “honorary”
position on the
Class AA all-state
team by the WVSWA. It’s
the ﬁrst such designation
since 1943.
Roane County football
coach Paul Burdette said
“Alex was a team-ﬁrst
player and great leader
who led by example. He
was very dedicated and
a hard worker who put
in the extra time in the
weight room and off-season. An unselﬁsh player,
he was liked by everyone
who knew him, especially
our close-knit team. He

will be missed but never
forgotten.”
Russell Stump, a team
assistant coach, teacher,
and pastor at Boggs Fork
Community Church, says
“Alex was an All-American
young man. Everyone on
the team had the highest
respect for him. He set an
example for others who
looked to him for leadership. He was a top-calibre
person with the highest
values and morals. His
legacy will live on in the
memories of those who
knew him.”
Doug Huff is the Executive SecretaryTreasurer of the WVSWA and was
inducted into the National High
School Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.
Huff, who the award is named after,
was state sports writer of the year
nine times in West Virginia.

A statue of former pitcher Juan Marichal stands outside of Oracle Park, the San Francisco Giants’ baseball ballpark, in San Francisco, on March
26. Major League Baseball’s opening day remains indefinitely on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Under 1% of MLB employees positive for antibodies
NEW YORK (AP)
— Just 0.7% of Major
League Baseball employees tested positive for
antibodies to COVID-19,
the illness caused by the
new coronavirus.
The small number of
positive tests, announced
Sunday, was positive
news for a sport pushing
ahead with plans to start
its delayed season.
Researchers received
6,237 completed surveys
from employees of 26
clubs. That led to 5,754
samples obtained in the
U.S. on April 14 and 15
and 5,603 records that
were used. The survey kit
had a 0.5% false positive
rate.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya
of Stanford, one of the
study’s leaders, said the
prevalence of the antibodies among MLB employees was lower than for
the general population
during testing in New
York, Los Angeles, the
San Francisco area and
Miami.
“I was expecting a little
bit of a higher number,”
Bhattacharya said during
a telephone news conference. “The set of people
in the MLB employee
population that we tested
in some sense have been
less affected by the
COVID epidemic than
their surrounding communities.”

Data for players was
not separated in the
study, and some MLB
family members were
included.
Spring training was
stopped March 12 and
opening day was pushed
back from March 26
because of the pandemic.
MLB intends to give the
players’ association a
presentation this week
for a possible start to
the season, and has said
frequent testing would be
necessary.
Antibodies are produced by a person’s
immune system if they
have been infected by a
virus. These tests are different than the polymerise chain reaction (PCR)
tests used to detect active
infection.
“By using two different
technologies, both PCR
to diminish the active
virus, as well as the antibody, the serology tests,
that will give you better
information and may even
be able to alleviate some
of the concerns with false
positives,” said Daniel
Eichner of the Sports
Medicine Research and
Testing Laboratory in
Salt Lake City. another of
the study leaders.
“So I would deﬁnitely
advocate if anyone was
going to put a program
together to get their
sport of their work back,

is to utilize both different
technologies,” he said.
The University of
Southern California also
participated in the study.
Bhattacharya said MLB
employees are younger
than the overall population and took protective
measures such as frequent hand washing when
they reported to spring
training in February, earlier than most people.
No MLB employees
have been known to have
died from COVID-19.
While the percentage
of Los Angeles Angels
employees with positive
tests was the highest
among teams, the error
margin is too high to
draw results because just
123 tests were included
from the team.
Bhattacharya called the
results “both good and
bad news” because they
showed the virus has not
spread widely in MLB but
still has many baseballers
left to target. Eichner
said results could mean
MLB employees had been
diligent in use of personal
protective equipment,
such as masks.
“If this population was
social isolating and practicing good PPE, then it
shows that that worked
and it didn’t get the
spread in there,” Eichner
said. “And then the ﬂip
side of that is that means

it’s worked well, then
they keep doing it.”
Sixty people tested positive in the raw data, and
the ﬁgured was adjusted
to about 42 to account for
false positives and false
negatives.
Over 95% of the participants were under 65 and
few reported comorbidities, according to Stanford
medical student Bianca
Mulaney, who authored
the study.
The Chicago Cubs,
Cincinnati, Colorado and
Miami did not participate,
Bhattacharya said. A preprint server will publish
the study this week, and
it will be sent to a journal
for peer review.
Test kits were provided
by the Partnership for
Clean Competition, which
funds anti-doping research,
and researchers worked for
free.
Mulaney said the prevalence of positive tests for
antibodies was higher in
areas that have been harder hit by the virus, such
as New York, and lower in
less-impacted areas, such
as Ohio.
“This is a special population. It’s not it’s not representative of the American population at large,”
Bhattacharya said. “But
it’s an important population because it allows
us to get a peek at the
nationwide prevalence.”
