Disenfranchised:
Ohio says 318 ballots
delivered too late
CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio elections ofﬁcials
say 318 voters in Butler County won’t have their
ballots counted for the April 28 primary because
of a U.S. Postal Service delivery delay.
Although the ballots were postmarked by the
April 27 deadline, they didn’t get to the Butler
County elections board until this week, days after
the May 8 deadline to be counted.
Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose has
written to Postal Service headquarters calling for
an investigation and steps to make sure the issue
doesn’t happen this fall.
“These voters have effectively been disenfranchised in the Ohio primary election,” LaRose
wrote.
A U.S. Postal Service spokesperson said management is looking into the situation and will not
be commenting until the investigation is complete.
“The U.S. Mail serves as a secure, efﬁcient and
effective means for citizens and campaigns to
participate in the electoral process, and the Postal
Service is committed to delivering Election Mail
in a timely manner,” the spokesperson said.
The secretary’s spokeswoman, Maggie Sheehan,
said Butler, in southwest Ohio, was the only county that has reported late deliveries so far.
An email message was also sent Tuesday to Butler County’s elections director, seeking comment
and asking whether voters will be informed their
ballots arrived too late.
LaRose is asking the Ohio legislature to expand

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Selfemployed and part-time workers in
Ohio can now apply for unemployment through the federal stimulus package, state ofﬁcials said
Wednesday.
The Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services began accepting
applications on Tuesday and some
payments will begin going out by
the end of the week, said Kimberly
Hall, the department’s director.
Many who were denied regular
unemployment beneﬁts may be eligible for Pandemic Unemployment
Assistance, which allows for up to
39 weeks of beneﬁts to those who

are self-employed, part-time workers or 1099 tax ﬁlers.
“We encourage anyone who
believes they may be eligible to
apply. Even after you return to
work, you still may be eligible to
receive retroactive beneﬁts, dating
from as early as Feb. 2,” Hall said.

In so doing, they hoped
to persuade enough

The federal appeals
court in Denver ruled
that electors can vote
as they please, rejecting arguments that
they must choose the

Washington, the state
Supreme Court upheld
a $1,000 ﬁne against
the three electors and
rejected their claims.
In all, there were
10 faithless electors
in 2016, including a
fourth in Washington,
a Democratic elector in
Hawaii and two Republican electors in Texas.
In addition, Democratic
electors who said they
would not vote for Clinton were replaced in
Maine and Minnesota.
Harvard Law School
professor Lawrence
Lessig, who favors
broad reforms to voting, redistricting and
the way campaigns are
funded, represented the
Washington electors
at the Supreme Court.
Lessig brieﬂy sought
the 2016 Democratic
nomination and called
for presidential electors to support Clinton
because she won the
national popular vote
four years ago.
Lessig warned that

binding electors could
open the door to other
restrictions, including
denying electoral votes
to candidates who don’t
visit their states or
fail to release their tax
returns.
The Campaign Legal
Center, which also
supports campaign
ﬁnance and redistricting reforms, warned in
a legal ﬁling that a high
court ruling that electors are free agents creates the “possibility that
presidential campaigns
and outside groups
could direct large sums
of money to crucial or
wavering electors.”
The closest Electoral College margin
in recent years was in
2000, when Republican George W. Bush
received 271 votes to
266 for Democrat Al
Gore. One elector from
Washington, D.C., left
her ballot blank.
The Supreme Court
played a decisive role
in that election, ending
a recount in Florida,
where Bush held a 537vote margin out of 6
million ballots cast.

Ohio Dept. of Aging
launches free check-in
service for older citizens
‘Staying Connected’ service open
to Ohio residents age 60 and older
COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Aging
(ODA) has announced a free, daily check-in by phone
service for Ohio’s older residents to ensure their wellbeing amid the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency and beyond. The program was
announced during Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s daily
news conference.
The “Staying Connected” service is open to Ohio
residents age 60 or older who have a valid phone
number. Those living alone in the community are
encouraged to consider enrolling.
“During a time when physical distancing has
become necessary, we must create ways to maintain
social connectedness,” said ODA Director Ursel McElroy. “The impact of isolation has been linked to higher
risks for serious physical and mental conditions, so I
am pleased we can provide these check-ins at a critical
time.”
“Especially during this very challenging time, we
encourage older Ohioans to sign up for the Ohio
Department of Aging’s Staying Connected phone
program. This program will help reduce isolation and
support the health and wellbeing of older adults in
our state,” said Robert Cornwell, Executive Director,
Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association.
The automated service, which is available 7 a.m. to
6 p.m. seven days a week, contacts participants each
day within a one-hour window selected by them during sign-up. After conﬁrming the caller is OK, it offers
to connect the caller with the local Area Agency on
Aging for information about services or assistance.
If a participant does not answer after three
attempts, a call is placed to an alternate contact, if
one is on ﬁle. After multiple failed attempts to reach
the participant and the alternate contact, a call is
placed to the non-emergency services line of the local
sheriff’s ofﬁce.
Eligible Ohio residents can learn more, or sign up,
by visiting www.aging.ohio.gov/stayingconnected or
calling 1-833-ODA-CHAT (1-833-632-2428).
For more information on Ohio’s response to
COVID-19, visit coronavirus.ohio.gov or call

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio
— Robin Fowler State
Farm has opened in
downtown Gallipolis.
Located at 342 2nd
Avenue, the agency
provides customers protection for their families
and ﬁnancial futures
through insurance and
ﬁnancial services.
The agency has three
fulltime team members,
including Fowler’s
daughter Danielle who,
along with Amanda Halley, are licensed agents
in Ohio and West Virginia, and Bre-Elle Cremeens is taking classes
for her license.
“With diverse backgrounds, they are prepared and committed to
helping our customers
manage the risks of
everyday life, prepare for
the unexpected and realize their dreams,” Robin
said.
As for Robin, she has
family roots in Gallia
County and she and husband Todd moved back
in 1990 with their then

young children Danielle
and Anthony. Her ﬁrst
business in Gallipolis
was the City Perk Coffee
Shop &amp; Deli on Court
Street.
“I ﬁnished my Bachelor of Science Degree
through the University
of Rio Grande and after
working internally
for State Farm starting in 2001, I took the
opportunity to become
a State Farm Agent in
Chillicothe in 2006.
After earning accolades
such as a Top 100 New
Agent in the country,
I was asked to go into
leadership and became
the Sales Leader of 34
State Farm Agents in the
Youngstown, Ohio area
in 2010. When opportunity presented itself
for Todd in 2014 to be
part of Holzer Health
System’s leadership, we
were excited to come
back home.
“I realized then that
my passion was working
directly with customers
and I took an agency

opportunity in South
Point, Ohio earning top
agent awards such as
Chairman’s Circle and
President’s Club. Most
recently, State Farm
decided to offer two
agency opportunities in
Gallia County. Thrilled
be able to help the people of this community,
I opened a brand new
agency, with no customer base, in Rio Grande.
With the downtown
agent John Schmitt’s
retirement, he was ready
to sell his downtown
location and we jumped
on the chance to have a
location across from our
beautiful city park.”

Whistleblower: US could face virus rebound
By Ricardo AlonsoZaldivar
Associated Press

WASHINGTON
— America faces the
“darkest winter in
modern history” unless
leaders act decisively
to prevent a rebound of
the coronavirus, says
a government whistleblower who alleges he
was ousted from his job
for warning the Trump
administration to prepare for the pandemic.
Immunologist Dr.
Rick Bright makes his
sobering prediction in
testimony prepared for
his appearance Thursday before the House
Energy and Commerce
Committee. Aspects
of his complaint about
early administration
handling of the crisis
are expected to be
backed up by testimony
from an executive of a
company that manufactures, respirator masks.
A federal watchdog
agency has found “reasonable grounds” that
Bright was removed
from his post as head
of the Biomedical
Advanced Research and
Development Authority
for sounding the alarm
at the Department of
Health and Human Services.
“Our window of
opportunity is closing,”
Bright says in his prepared testimony posted
on the House committee website. “If we fail
to develop a national
coordinated response,
based in science, I fear

the pandemic will get
far worse and be prolonged, causing unprecedented illness and
fatalities.”
Bright’s testimony
follows this week’s
warning by Dr. Anthony
Fauci, the government’s
top infectious disease
expert, that a rushed
lifting of store-closing
and stay-at-home
restrictions could “turn
back the clock,” seeding more suffering and
death and complicating
efforts to get the economy rolling again.
President Donald
Trump has dismissed
Bright as “a disgruntled
guy,” and some of the
president’s political
allies have urged that
Fauci be ﬁred, although
that seems unlikely.
More than 83,000
people have died in
the U.S., representing
more than one-fourth
of global deaths and
the world’s highest toll.
On the planet more
than 4.3 million have
been infected and about
295,000 have died.
Eager to restart the
economy, Trump has
been urging states to lift
restrictions, and many
governors are doing
so gradually, though
consumers remain leery
of going back to restaurants, social events and
sporting competitions.
In his prepared testimony, Bright said, “The
undeniable fact is there
will be a resurgence of
(COVID-19) this fall,
greatly compounding
the challenges of sea-

“If we fail to develop a
national coordinated
response, based in science,
I fear the pandemic will get
far worse and be prolonged,
causing unprecedented illness
and fatalities.”
— Dr. Rick Bright,
Immunologist, ousted whistleblower

sonal inﬂuenza and putting an unprecedented
strain on our health care
system.”
“Without clear planning and implementation of the steps that I
and other experts have
outlined, 2020 will be
darkest winter in modern history,” Bright
wrote.
Bright, who has a
doctoral degree in
immunology, outlined a
path forward that would
be based on science,
even as researchers
work to develop better
treatments and an effective vaccine. The steps
include:
— Establishing a
national testing strategy. The White House
has urged states to take
the lead on testing, even
as the federal government pushes to make
more tests and better
ones widely available.
Trump says the U.S. has
“prevailed” on testing
through this strategy,
but in Congress Democrats are demanding a
federal framework to
encompass the whole
nation.
— Doubling down
on educating the public
about basic safety mea-

sures such as frequent
hand-washing and wearing masks in public
places as guidelines
indicate. “Frankly, our
leaders must lead by
modeling the behavior,”
said Bright, in a nottoo-subtle reference to a
president who conspicuously goes maskless.
— Ramping up production of essential
equipment and supplies,
from cotton swabs for
testing to protective
gear for health care
workers and essential
workers.
— Setting up a system to fairly distribute
equipment and supplies
that are scarce and
highly sought. Eliminating state vs. state competition would increase
efﬁciency and reduce
costs, he wrote.
As part of his whistleblower complaint,
Bright is seeking to be
reinstated in his old job.
HHS, his employer, says
it strongly disagrees
with his allegations and
that it reassigned him
to a high-proﬁle position helping to lead the
development of new
coronavirus tests at the
National Institutes of
Health.

Kobe Bryant’s academy retires ‘Mamba’ nickname

Richard Vogel | AP file

Los Angeles Lakers fans and a memorial are reflected in the window of the
Mamba Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, Calif., following reports in January
of NBA star Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash in southern California.
The academy previously co-owned by Bryant announced Tuesday that it has
retired his “Mamba” nickname and rebranded itself nearly four months after the
basketball icon’s death. The academy will return to its original name of Sports
Academy.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The
Southern California sports
academy previously co-owned
by Kobe Bryant has retired
his “Mamba” nickname and
rebranded itself nearly four
months after the basketball
icon’s death in a helicopter
crash.
Bryant, his 13-year-old
daughter Gianna and seven
other people were killed Jan.
26 as they ﬂew to a basketball
tournament at the Mamba
Sports Academy.
The Thousand Oaks-based
facility said it would return to
its original name of Sports
Academy. It was founded in
2016. Bryant, who spent 20
seasons with the Los Angeles
Lakers and helped the franchise win ﬁve NBA championships, joined in 2018.
Games were being played at

the academy when the news
broke of Bryant’s death. Players immediately stopped and
many people in the gym burst
into tears when told that Bryant was aboard the helicopter
that crashed.
The academy is under consideration as a home base for
an NBA minor league program
that will provide one year of
preparation, on and off the
court, for some elite players
who chose to bypass college
but are not yet eligible for the
NBA draft.
Bryant is the only NBA player to have his team retire two
numbers in his honor. He was
selected last month for the
Naismith Memorial Basketball
Hall of Fame. A ceremony
is scheduled for late August
though it may be delayed until
at least October because of

the coronavirus pandemic.
Bryant’s production company, Granity Studios, has
remained active since his
death. The latest children’s
book released by Bryant’s
company last month — “The
Wizenard Series: Season One”
— became his ﬁfth book to
reach No. 1 on The New York
Times’ best-seller lists.
The helicopter crash
remains under investigation
by the National Transportation Safety Board.
In February, Bryant’s
widow, Vanessa Bryant, sued
the estate of pilot Ara Zobayan and the charter company
that owned the helicopter,
Island Express. She claimed
Zobayan failed “to use ordinary care in piloting the
subject aircraft” and alleged
negligence.

Poll of NBA
players shows
desire to play
MIAMI (AP) — A person familiar with the
results of poll of NBA players taken by their
union says there would be “overwhelming” support for any plan that has this season resuming in
a safe way amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The poll conducted by the National Basketball Players Association was informal but gave
a clear sense that players would like to not only
get to the playoffs but also resume at least some
of the regular season, according to the person
who shared details with The Associated Press on
Tuesday on condition of anonymity because it
was not to be detailed publicly.
The exact results of the poll were unknown,
and the methodology behind the poll — including how many players participated — was
unclear.
The NBPA sent a letter to agents Tuesday discussing, among other things, the results of the
player polling and some details of the call the
union and its membership had late last week with
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. In that call,
Silver talked about the possibility of resuming
a season without fans and potentially playing at
a centralized site — notions that have been discussed for some time.
There are numerous hurdles to clear to get
games back, the need for testing of players and
staff when play resumes among them, and what
could be viewed as positive signs Tuesday were
just that — signs, not absolute indicators that
there is a path for a return to play this season.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr, whose team
wouldn’t be headed to the playoffs and was preparing to play home games in an empty arena
because of the virus threat before the league
suspended the season, told radio station 95.7
The Game in the Bay Area on Tuesday that he
believes the Warriors’ season is over.
“We’ll be good soldiers. If the league asks us to
play more games, we’ll play,” Kerr said. “I don’t
anticipate that happening, but we’ll be ready if it
does. And in the meantime, you know, it’s not my
decision, it’s not our decision — it’s the NBA’s
decision, what to do, when to do it.”
NBA players had somewhat different reactions.
Memphis’ Ja Morant, the likely frontrunner for
rookie of the year, tweeted that he wants to play.
And Orlando guard Evan Fournier said international soccer inching toward a return “gives me
hope” that the NBA can do the same.
“Everybody in the league, we want to ﬁnish
this year,” Cleveland’s Larry Nance Jr. said earlier Tuesday. “One, obviously because we love
the game, but at the same time there’s a serious
chance of us missing out on, what, 20-plus percent of our contracts, which is for a lot of guys
pretty signiﬁcant.”
The NBA suspended its season on March 11
with 259 regular season games remaining, or
roughly one-ﬁfth of the season.
Players have been paid in full on each of the
four paydays that have followed, though that will
change Friday when most of the league sees a
25% reduction in their paycheck.
Players stand to lose roughly $850 million in
gross salary if the regular season is not resumed
and the NBA exercises its right to withhold
roughly 1.08% of each player’s salary for any
game that is ultimately canceled. On average,
that would mean each NBA player stands to lose
about 21% of his total salary. No games have
been ofﬁcially canceled yet; the 25% reduction
starting with Friday’s check was negotiated
between the league and the union with the expectation that the season will eventually be shortened.

Washington Nationals’ Howie Kendrick hits a two-run home run against the Houston Astros during Game 7 of the 2019 World Series in
Houston. To many National League fans, the scribble of “DH” on the lineup card sullies the whole stadium. To lots of American League
fans, the sight of a pitcher touching a Louisville Slugger an affront to the diamond. No matter, that’s part of the proposal MLB owners
are making to the players — a full-time DH in the National League. This year only.

National League designated hitters limber up
By Ben Walker
Associated Press

Before all the selfproclaimed purists forecasting the destruction of
baseball strategy and the
very sanctity of the sport
as we know it go berserk
bemoaning the inclusion
of a designated hitter in
the National League this
season, remember this:
In a most remarkable
October full of huge
momentum swings, the
pivotal blow that decided
last year’s World Series
was delivered by, yep, the
NL DH.
OK, that clang resonating off the right ﬁeld
foul screen at Minute
Maid Park — courtesy of
Howie Kendrick’s home
run in Game 7 for the
visiting Washington
Nationals — probably
won’t drown out the wailing of longtime National
League fans over the plan
to play this virus-delayed
season with a (gasp!) DH
in both circuits.
And it certainly won’t
quell the debate that’s
raged since April 6,
1973, when Ron Blomberg of the New York
Yankees stepped to the
plate at Fenway Park as
Major League Baseball’s
ﬁrst DH (and drew a
bases-loaded walk from
Luis Tiant).
To many NL fans, the
simple scribble of “DH”
on the lineup card sullies
the whole stadium. To
lots of AL fans, the mere
sight of a pitcher touch-

ing a Louisville Slugger
is a total affront to the
diamond.
No matter, that’s part
of the proposal MLB
owners are making to
players — a full-time DH
in the National League,
same as the AL. This
year, only.
Jim Riggleman has
managed and coached
in each league and seen
both sides.
“During this abbreviated season I’m OK with
it,” he wrote in an email
Monday.
“In general, I think the
NL game is a much better game. The pitcher’s
AB is not the point. It’s
all the ramiﬁcations that
the pitcher hitting has
on the strategy of the
game. More interesting
game and tougher game
to manage with pitcher
hitting,” he said.
With that, let’s take a
meaty cut at what this
might mean as NL DHs
get limber with the lumber:
Who’s up?
Kyle Schwarber
(Cubs), Nick Castellanos
(Reds) and Dominic
Smith (Mets) made it
to the majors with their
bats, not gloves. They’d
be natural ﬁts.
Christian Yelich (Brewers), Yoenis Céspedes
(Mets) and Hunter
Pence (Giants) are coming off injuries. The DH
spot would give them
a break from the daily
grind.

Kevin Cron (Diamondbacks) hit 38 homers in
Triple-A and six more for
Arizona. With ﬁrst baseman Christian Walker
coming off a breakout
season, Cron could have
a new slot.
Justin Turner (Dodgers), Ryan Braun (Brewers) and Jay Bruce (Phillies) are among older
players who might see
time there. The Nationals
(Ryan Zimmerman, Starlin Castro, Eric Thames
and Kendrick) and the
Rockies (Daniel Murphy
and Ian Desmond) could
rotate. Nick Markakis
and Adam Duvall would
beneﬁt in a crowded
Braves outﬁeld.
Ouch!
Max Scherzer, Masahiro Tanaka and Adam
Wainwright are among
the aces in recent years
to be injured either
batting or running the
bases. With a stop-andgo spring training and a
desire to ramp up quickly
to regular-season speed,
no one wants to see
pitchers get sidelined
doing something besides
throwing.
Who does this rule
hurt? Start with Madison
Bumgarner, the powerhitting pitcher who
signed with Arizona.
He loves to hit and once
toyed with entering
the All-Star Home Run
Derby. The Diamondbacks would probably
rather put up someone
paid to bat.

Jacob deGrom, Clayton
Kershaw and Stephen
Strasburg likely will keep
excelling. But their ERAs
are likely to take a hit
— those NL lineups will
look a little more imposing.
Opportunity knocks
Sonny Gray (Reds),
Sandy Alcantara (Marlins) and Chris Paddack
(Padres) all start for
teams that struggle to
score runs. With the DH,
managers might let them
stay in longer, instead of
pulling them for a pinchhitter.
Yasiel Puig doesn’t
have a team. He combined for 24 homers and
84 RBIs with Cincinnati
and Cleveland last year
and remains a free agent.
Matt Adams (Mets),
Logan Morrison (Brewers) and Greg Bird
(Rangers) signed minor
league deals in the
offseason and, if they
prove they’ve still got
pop, could be low-priced
options. NL rosters were
pretty full when the shutdown came in March, but
now there ﬁgures to be
rejiggering.
Speaking of stats
For every entertaining home run trot by the
likes of a Bartolo Colon,
don’t forget: Pitchers hit
a whopping .128 overall
last year. NL twirlers
were better at the dish —
they hit .131, while their
AL counterparts ﬂailed
at .087.

are worth it.”
The speaker and the
president don’t talk
much anymore. But
Pelosi remains in contact
with Treasury Secretary
Steven Mnuchin, who
led negotiations on past
virus aid packages, and
expects to begin talks
with him on the next bill
from Congress.
With Congress still
partly shuttered, lawmakers face life-anddeath decisions ahead
— whether it is safe for
communities to reopen
during the pandemic,
perhaps with new restrictions on businesses and
gatherings, or whether
it is better to stay hunkered down until the
U.S. can ramp up testing
and prevent a second
wave of COVID-19 cases,
with deaths now beyond
83,000.
The president says the
country can’t stay closed
indeﬁnitely. But Pelosi
warned that schools,
businesses and large
gatherings, including the
Democrats’ presidential
nominating convention,
will not be business as
usual.
“You just can’t say
because people want to
go to work, we should
just take every risk,” she
said. “In order to turn
the economy around, we
have to get rid of the pandemic.”
