One arrested
following pursuit
in Pomeroy
Staff Report

POMEROY — A
Cheshire man is facing
charges after leading
law enforcement on
a pursuit on Sunday
evening.
Meigs County Sheriff
Keith Wood reports
that on Sunday, June
7, his ofﬁce received a
call regarding a private
property crash at Taco
Bell. The caller stated
that a red GMC truck
in the drive-thru had
struck the vehicle in
front of it approximately three times. Deputies
from the Sheriff’s Ofﬁce
responded to the scene.
While a deputy was on
the way to Taco Bell
he passed a red GMC
truck which reportedly
struck a utility pole
near the Exxon Gas
Station along Main
Street in Pomeroy. The
responding deputy

witnessed the incident
take place and turned
around to check on the
driver.
According to the
news release, when
the deputy had turned
around on Main Street,
he observed the truck
return to the roadway
and activated lights
and siren to have the
vehicle stop. The truck
continued through
Pomeroy on three tires
after breaking the axle
to the vehicle on the
front driver’s side from
striking the utility pole.
The front left tire drug
along the pavement
as the driver allegedly refused to stop
the vehicle. The deputy
pursued the vehicle
down Main Street in
Pomeroy where the
vehicle struck a stop
sign and a speed limit

Island theme parks
opening in early July
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s two big amusement parks will open in early July, but initially to
season pass holders only.
Kings Island near Cincinnati will open on July 2
while Cedar Point in Sandusky will start its season
on July 9, the parks announced on Tuesday.
Both will only be open to season pass holders to
start with other guests welcomed at a later date.
The parks, which had delayed their openings
because of the coronavirus, said they will require
all visitors to wear masks and complete health
screenings and temperature checks.
Cedar Point and Kings Island along with an
indoor water park operator sued the state last
week, saying Ohio ofﬁcials did not have the
authority to shut them down. The lawsuit came
after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine had allowed other
tourism businesses to open, including zoos, museums and aquariums.
A day later, DeWine announced that amusement
parks could reopen.
Online reservations also will be required for visitors and social distancing will be in place throughout the parks, including in the lines for rides.
Both parks, which are owned by Ohio-based

‘He is going to change the world’: Funeral held for Floyd
By Juan A. Lozano,
Nomaan Merchant and
Adam Geller
Associated Press

HOUSTON — George
Floyd was lovingly
remembered Tuesday as
“Big Floyd” — a father
and brother, athlete
and mentor, and now a
force for change — at a
funeral for the black man
whose death has sparked
a global reckoning over
police brutality and racial
prejudice.
Hundreds of mourners
wearing masks against
the coronavirus packed
a Houston church a little
more than two weeks
after Floyd was pinned to
the pavement by a white
Minneapolis police ofﬁcer
who put a knee on his
neck for what prosecutors
said was 8 minutes and
46 seconds.
Cellphone video of
the encounter, including
Floyd’s pleas of “I can’t
breathe,” ignited protests
and scattered violence
across the U.S. and
around the world, turning
the 46-year-old Floyd — a
man who in life was little
known beyond the public
housing project where
he was raised in Houston’s Third Ward — into
a worldwide symbol of
injustice.
“Third Ward, Cuney
Homes, that’s where he
was born at,” Floyd’s
brother, Rodney, told
mourners at the Fountain
of Praise church. “But
everybody is going to
remember him around
the world. He is going to
change the world.”
The funeral capped
six days of mourning for
Floyd in three cities.

Following the service,
Floyd’s body was to be
taken by horse-drawn
carriage to a cemetery in
suburban Pearland, where
he was to be laid to rest
next to his mother.
“George Floyd was not
expendable. This is why
we’re here,” Democratic
Rep. Al Green of Houston told the crowd. “His
crime was that he was
born black. That was his
only crime. George Floyd
deserved the dignity and
respect that we accord all
people just because they
are children of a common
God.”
While the service was
private, at least 50 people
gathered outside to pay
their respects. Some
held signs with messages
including “Black Lives
Matter” and “Together
because of George Floyd.”
“There’s a real big
change going on, and
everybody, especially
black, right now should
be a part of that,” said
Kersey Biagase, who
traveled more than three
hours from Port Barre,
Louisiana, with his girlfriend, Brandi Pickney.
They wore T-shirts printed with Floyd’s name and
“I Can’t Breathe.”
Dozens of Floyd’s
family members, most
dressed in white, were led
into the sanctuary by the
Rev. Al Sharpton, the civil
rights activist.
The mourners also
included rapper Trae tha
Truth, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Houston Police
Chief Art Acevedo and
Houston Mayor Sylvester
Turner, who brought the

In the past two weeks,
amid the furor over
Floyd’s death, sweeping and previously
unthinkable things have
taken place: Confederate statues have been

are debating overhauling, dismantling or cutting funding for police
departments. Authorities in some places have

others get victory over alcohol or drug addiction,”
according to its website. The organization became an
“incorporated business with the state and the federal
government” in 2012.
The celebration will feature a panel of eight speakers, including Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted, Gallia County Sheriff Matt Champlin, Judge Margaret
Evans, local law enforcement, women who have
gained victory over recovery, and others, including
Dennis. Congressman Bill Johnson will also have a
video presentation. Johnson previously spoke at Field
of Hope in 2017.
“We’re going to have the grand opening of our new
gymnasium,” Dennis said. “And we’re going to unveil
a brand new nationwide project. It will be revealed for
the ﬁrst time at our celebration.”
Dennis is excited for the event and for the unveiling
of the project and the dedication of the gymnasium,
he said.
According to the Facebook page for the event, the
celebration will also feature free breakfast, including
pancakes from Chris Cakes, Steve Evans sausage, and
beverages.
The page also says that social distancing will be
observed, and that “appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) will be worn by servers.”
The celebration is taking place as businesses and
organizations tentatively reopen in Ohio due to the
coronavirus pandemic. As reported this week in the
Tribune, an additional probable case of COVID-19,
brought the county’s case total to nine, according to
the Gallia Health Department. Six of those cases are
considered recovered, the health department stated
via its Facebook page.
The event will also feature door prizes, giveaways,
and books for sale. Donations are appreciated and will
go towards the organization’s cause.
The event is free and open to the public.
(Editor’s Note: As previously reported by the Tribune, the Field of Hope is an ongoing community
project with roots in the Vinton Baptist Church which
eventually grew into its own as a faith-based, nonproﬁt organization that aims to combat addiction and
serve as a community outreach program. The Field
of Hope campus is centered at the old North Gallia
High School where ongoing efforts to rehabilitate the
old school building have also been complemented by
the creation of a women’s recovery facility, the Hope
House, and its sister building, a less intensive recovery facility, the Faith House. The campus seeks to
expand and currently has an operating counseling
program.)

2 men say hospital switched them at birth
BUCKHANNON,
W.Va. (AP) — Two
men who believe they
were switched at birth
nearly 80 years ago
are suing a Roman
Catholic diocese in
West Virginia, alleging
negligence and breach
of duty by the hospital
where they were born.
John William Carr III
and Jackie Lee Spencer
were born on Aug. 29,
1942, at St. Joseph
Hospital in Buckhannon. The lawsuit
against the Diocese of
Wheeling-Charleston
says hospital staffers
sent them home with
the wrong families,
The Dominion Post
reported Monday.
The switch was discovered last year when
DNA tests showed
Carr and Spencer had

no genetic matches
with the families that
raised them but did
match the other’s family, the men say in their
lawsuit.
Carr, Spencer and
their families have suffered a “lifetime of consequences” from the
switch and are seeking
unspecified damages,
they say in the lawsuit.
The diocese does not
comment on pending
litigation, spokesperson Tim Bishop said.
Spencer spent more
than 50 years searching for the man listed
on his birth certificate
as his father, he says
in the lawsuit. He had
been told the man
abandoned his mother
prior to his birth.
After finding relatives of the man, Spen-

cer took a DNA test to
see if he was related
and discovered he was
not. An additional
DNA test also showed
he wasn’t related to
people he had grown
up thinking of as blood
family.
It turned out, tests
showed, he was really
related to Carr’s family
— and further digging
found that Carr had
been born the same
day at St. Joseph.
Spencer and his wife
contacted Carr, who
took a DNA test that
showed he was related
to the people Spencer
had believed were relatives.
Spencer, now in his
twilight years, never
got to know many of
his family members, he
says in the lawsuit.

“Many of the people
Jack should have
known his entire life
are gone,” according
to the suit. “He feels
as though most of
his family died all at
once. He grieves for
the loss of the life he
was supposed to have,
while reconciling those
feeling with the love
and gratitude he feels
for the family he has
known his whole life.”
Carr, who has blue
eyes, said he looks different from the family
that raised him and
always felt out of place.
“Well, I never felt like
I fit in here because
my mother and dad
had brown hair and
brown eyes, and so do
my brother and sister,”
Carr said in the lawsuit.

Schmidt recalls 1971 draft, taken 1 spot behind Brett

By Mike Schmidt

For the Associated Press

1970 was my junior
year at Ohio University.
We won the MAC championship, the regionals
and earned a trip to the
College World Series.
Personally, I had a great
year in all stat categories,
became a ﬁrst team AllAmerican and a professional prospect.
There was one problem — I didn’t qualify for
that year’s draft because I
wasn’t 21 years old. Having a September birthday
the next fall disqualiﬁed
me. This cost me a great
deal, most likely a high
ﬁrst-round pick. I became
the 30th overall pick (in
1971) and had no bar-

gaining power with no
college eligibility left.
It worked out. This
wasn’t a time when millions were being given to
high draft picks.
Throughout my senior
season, I had noticed several scouts at games, one
in particular, Tony Lucadello from the Phillies.
I learned later Tony had
followed me since Little
League. He watched
me at tryouts put on by
professional teams in
our area as a raw college
freshman.
Tony brought thengeneral manager Paul
Owens to a weekend
series in Athens where
I did one of everything
with him watching. Hit
a home run, made a play

in the hole, stole a base
and generally cemented
myself in his mind.
However, the Phillies
had bigger sights on a
high school pitcher, Roy
Thomas, who started a
couple games in the big
leagues, but didn’t pan
out.
My family and I waited
in our living room for
a call from the Phillies
once the results were
ofﬁcial. We got it from
Tony, who visited us
with an offer and the
Phillies’ philosophy on
signing draft picks. To
them, it was best to sign
and get to your team and
start playing, then you
will make money.
Their offer for a signing bonus was $25,000.

My father/agent pointed
to the door and told him
not to come back unless
the offer was fair. The
next day he returned and
things got sweeter, but
nowhere near what we
expected. Tony offered
$35,000 and get this,
a trip to Philly to take
batting practice with the
Phillies and sign.
We told him $37,500
and he had a deal. Here’s
the kicker: While in
Philly for the weekend,
it just happened the club
had an exhibition game
on Monday in Reading
against its Double-A
afﬁliate.
I got to play shortstop
in that game for the Phillies, yes, the big Phillies
with Deron Johnson and

Don Money and Oscar
Gamble, and I hit a home
run to win the game.
That game and hit possibly saved me two years
in the minors. I started
my career in Reading as
a result.
There is a unique story
about that draft involving
my good friend, George
Brett. George was
drafted one player ahead
of me in 1971, at 29th by
the Royals.
George and I ﬁnished
with the same number of
career RBIs at 1,595. But
when he realized that,
he hired someone to go
back through his career
and ﬁnd an RBI.
He succeeded and now
has 1,596 — anything to
top me. My comeback is

that I once hit the roof of
the Astrodome with two
on base and settled for a
single. That’s three RBIs
… I should have 1,598.
The June draft of 1971
was one of the most
exciting times in my
life as it will be, and has
always been, for so many
eligible young players.
For me it worked out
perfectly. Timing is
everything, as evident
of my draft story. Right
place at the right time
showing your best skills.
The other team, I
found out, that was going
to pick me in the second
round was Baltimore.
Guess who was playing
third base for them?

NFL gives teams
planner for total
reopening of facilities
By Barry Wilner
Associated Press

The NFL and the players’ union sent a planner
to the 32 teams Monday outlining procedures for
the full reopening of their practice facilities, which
were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
In a lengthy four-part memo to the clubs written
by Commissioner Roger Goodell and approved by
the NFL Players Association, the league described
protocols focusing on screening, testing, and
infection prevention and treatment for COVID-19,
including response for new infections. Also included were instructions on proper facility access,
cleaning and disinfecting; physical distancing;
hygiene, health education and medical services;
food preparation; supplies; and team travel.
No timetable has been set for the return of most
players to team complexes — only players rehabilitating injuries have been allowed to enter the
buildings. But this is the next major step toward
allowing all players back in club facilities.
Goodell ordered all facilities closed in late
March, and the league has taken small steps
toward reopening them. Last week, coaching staffs
were approved to return, but only if local governmental rules allowed it.
Goodell noted that the protocols for a full return
were developed in consultation with the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, Duke’s Infection Control Network and other universities.
“No set of protocols can eliminate the risk of
contracting COVID-19, nor ensure that the disease
itself will be mild,” Goodell wrote in the memo,
which was obtained by The Associated Press.
“And we should expect that these protocols will
change as medical and scientiﬁc knowledge of
the disease continues to grow. But we believe,
along with the NFLPA, that these protocols offer
a sound basis for bringing players back into the
facilities and moving forward with our planning
for the 2020 season.”
Training camps are scheduled to begin in late
July, with the ﬁrst preseason game, Dallas vs.
Pittsburgh in the Hall of Fame game, on Aug. 6.
The NFL still plans to kick off the regular season
in Kansas City on Sept. 10.
A tiered approached will be used within team
facilities and must be presented to the league for
approval at least seven days before the reporting
date for training camp. Players, most coaches,
trainers, physicians and the head equipment manager — anyone who must have direct access to
players — will be in Tier 1, with a maximum of 60
in addition to the players. They will have access to
such restricted areas as ﬁelds and sidelines, locker
rooms, training rooms, medical exam areas, meeting rooms and weight rooms.
The second tier will consist of ownership representatives; facility staff; additional coaches and
equipment personnel; the general manager and
football operations employees; club communications staff; security personnel; and “certain NFL
and NFLPA staff as needed.” They will have limited access to restricted areas.
All of those people must undergo daily screening and testing before entering the complex.
In the third tier will be personnel who perform
essential facility, stadium or event services but do
not require close contact with Tier 1 individuals.
Everyone inside the facility must wear surgical masks that have to be replaced daily, or cloth
masks that must be washed daily. Players are
exempted only when such masks would interfere
with performance.
A separate entrance to the facility for Tier 1
and Tier 2 members is required. If not available,
a designated time for use of a single entrance is

Cautious 1st steps toward football season
By Ralph D. Russo
Associated Press

College football is
scheduled to kick off in
less than three months
and there are plenty of
reasons to be hopeful
that games will be played
Labor Day weekend.
Universities across the
country are taking the
ﬁrst cautious, detailed
steps toward playing
football in a pandemic,
attempting to build
COVID-19-free bubbles
around their teams as
players begin voluntary
workouts.
“I think the start of the
race has a lot to do with
how you ﬁnish it,” Baylor
athletic director Mack
Rhoades said.
Thousands of athletes
will be tested for COVID19, though not all. Masks
will need to be worn —
most of the time. Some
schools will have players
pumping iron this week.
Others are waiting a few
more weeks.
“There’s an element
of this that’s kind of like
building an airplane as
you ﬂy it in that we’re
learning so much more
really every week,” Notre
Dame football team Dr.
Matt Leiszler said. “But
it’s a moving target at
times.”
For months, health
ofﬁcials including the
NCAA’s chief medical
ofﬁcer have said widespread and efﬁcient
COVID-19 testing is
pivotal to bringing back
sports. Now that exists,

and at many schools
every player will be
tested before they are
permitted to enter a
team facility.
Texas A&amp;M athletic
director Ross Bjork said
the school has conducted
just under 500 tests on
coaches, staff and athletes since May 18. The
Pac-12 is the only major
college football conference in which all the
members have agreed to
test all returning athletes
for COVID-19.
Athletes testing positive for the disease have
already been reported at
Arkansas State, Marshall
and Oklahoma State and
elsewhere.
Expect that list to
grow, and there is no
standardized protocol for
testing under the most
recent NCAA guidelines,
which is why plans are
different from school
to school. Missouri initially announced it would
not test all athletes for
COVID-19, then said it
would. Michigan State
will give its athletes two
PRC tests (often done
with a nasal swab), with
a seven-day quarantine
in between, before they
cause use team facilities.
Tulane will be giving
every football player PRC
and antibody tests.
“You know, there’s
nothing that says my
testing is going to protect my guys any better
than their screening
is going to. We don’t
know,” said Dr. Greg
Stewart, team physi-

cian for Tulane’s athletic department. “And
probably for most of
the schools across the
country, you know athletic departments are the
canary in the coal mine.”
Defending national
champion LSU is testing
each athlete for coronavirus antibodies upon
arrival to campus; some
will also get a PCR test
to check for an active
infection. A positive
antibody test at LSU will
trigger a PCR test and a
positive PCR test means
that player will have to
isolate for a period of
time.
Shelly Mullenix, LSU
senior associate athletic
director and director of
wellness, said some players who test positive for
antibodies but negative
for active infection will
also be isolated depending on symptoms or risk
of previous exposure. All
players were prescribed
a seven-day “quasiquarantine,” Mullenix
said, after receiving their
antibody tests.
Having players return
to campus infected is
worrisome but inevitable. The protocols being
put in place are designed
to catch and address
that. The real challenge
is keeping the players
from getting infected
after they return.
At Notre Dame,
football players will be
housed in single rooms
at the on-campus Morris
Inn hotel. They will face
temperature screens and

a health questionnaire
every time they want to
enter a facility to work
out.
Notre Dame is planning to structure workout groups by academic
schedules. Other schools
are using a mix of factors
such as keeping friends,
roommates or position
groups together.
“But you also have to
think about things like,
do you want all of your
quarterbacks with the
same group?” Wake Forest athletic director John
Currie said.
As the small groups
avoid infection they can
be merged to form bigger
groups.
“We think we’re going
to create four pods,”
Stewart said of Tulane’s
plan. “We’re going to
have the offense that
is on campus as a pod.
The defense that is on
campus is a pod. Special
teams that is on campus
is a pod. And those that
live off campus are a
pod.”
While the workouts
are voluntary, athletic
staffers will be setting up
strict schedules and moving equipment to allow
for appropriate socialdistancing. Masks will be
required at times, though
not necessarily when
they work out. Bjork said
Texas A&amp;M will clean
workout rooms after use,
though the locker rooms
at many schools will
remain closed.

Epstein says Cubs planning to create diversity committee
CHICAGO (AP) — The
Chicago Cubs are creating a
diversity committee to help
improve the organization’s
standards and practices.
Owner Tom Ricketts and
President of Business Operations Crane Kenney are leading the plans, according to
President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein.
The recent deaths of George
Floyd, Breonna Taylor and
Ahmaud Arbery have sparked

protests across the country.
Floyd, a black man, died May
25 after a white Minneapolis
police ofﬁcer pressed his knee
into Floyd’s neck while Floyd
was handcuffed and saying
that he couldn’t breathe.
The protests also have led
sports organizations to take
a closer look at their history
and policies when it comes to
diversity.
“I’d like to start just by offering my condolences to the

families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery
and the countless victims who
keep losing their lives to racist
violence in this country year
after year, decade after decade,
century after century,” Epstein
said Monday on a conference
call ahead of baseball’s amateur draft.
“I join my colleagues at the
Cubs in standing up in support of the Black Lives Matter
movement and the protesters

who are doing their best to
make this a real inﬂection

moment in time, silence is
complicity, and it’s important that all of our voices are
heard,” he said.
Epstein said the committee
“can make sure we set better
standards for ourselves and
hold ourselves accountable
and be better on this issue.”
But the longtime baseball
executive isn’t waiting for

EDITOR’S NOTE: The money, the scouting, the buzz, it was all
different when Major League Baseball held its annual June draft a
half-century ago. With this year’s picking set to start Wednesday
night, Mike Schmidt remembers how it was when he was chosen in
1971. The Philadelphia Phillies took him in the second round as a
shortstop out of Ohio University. The player chosen directly ahead
of him? A high school shortstop in California named George Brett.
Schmidt and Brett both made the Hall of Fame as third basemen
— when they were drafted, the hot corner was ruled by Baltimore’s
Brooks Robinson.

mandated, and that entrance must be cleaned and disinfected before
and after use.
Physical distancing is another major challenge. To keep players at
least 6 feet (2 meters) apart requires redesigning everything from
locker, meeting and weight rooms to cafeterias. Enhanced cleaning
and disinfecting procedures will be mandatory. The NFL/NFLPA
protocols suggest continued virtual meetings whenever possible.
Among taboos in the protocols is sharing drink bottles and towels,
and buffet-style meals.

“What you worry about

The message coaches,

Protesters have seized on the
death of a recent college graduate in Ohio in their ﬁght against
excessive force by police,
though how the woman died
remains undetermined.
Sarah Grossman, 22, of Dayton, died May 30 after participating in Columbus demonstrations over the death of George

Meigs County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce and the Meigs County
Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce. The Meigs County
Department of Job &amp; Family Services and the Meigs
County Prosecuting Attorney’s Ofﬁce investigated the
