Meigs reports
probable
COVID-19 case
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

OHIO VALLEY —
The Meigs County
Health Department
is reporting one additional probable case
of COVID-19 in the
county.
There are now six
active cases in the
county, with 18 total
cases (15 conﬁrmed, 3
probable) having been
reported since April.
This probable case
is a male in the 30 to
39-year-old age range,
who is a direct contact
of the case reported on
July 11, and is not hospitalized, according to
Meigs County Health
Department Public

Information Ofﬁcer
Brody Davis.
“At this time, we
please ask residents to
refrain from calling the
Health Department for
questions regarding
these cases while we
complete our disease
investigations and
notify relevant individuals. The cases and
individuals identiﬁed
as contacts of the cases
will be advised to selfquarantine for 14 days,”
stated the news release
from Davis. “We urge
residents to continue
to follow federal, state,
and local guidance to
prevent the spread of
COVID-19.”

DeWine vetoes limit
on penalties for health
order breaches
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. Mike
DeWine vetoed a bill Friday, as promised, that
would have prohibited criminal penalties for violations of state or local health orders related to
the coronavirus pandemic as the number of daily
cases hit a new record of 1,679 cases.
The legislation, which was sponsored by state
Sen. Theresa Gavarone, a Bowling Green Republican, would instead have allowed ﬁnes of not more
than $100 for violating a local order and not more
than $150 for violating a state order.
DeWine, a fellow Republican, spoke out against
the legislation, labeling it “a tragic mistake” that
would keep governments from taking bold action
against the COVID-19 crisis.
Legislative Republicans argued that they didn’t
want to see Ohioans criminally penalized for innocent mistakes, such as failing to space restaurant
tables far enough apart. Democrats said unintentional errors would not elicit ﬁnes.
Senate President Larry Obhof predicted DeWine would veto the bill, saying that his decision
would lead to more discussion about what the
appropriate penalty would be for a violation of
health orders.
“I have some pretty serious doubts about whether a government actually has the authority to
tell you that you have to stay inside your house,”
Obhof said last week. “And I am even more skeptical of the idea that we would tell you that if you
decide to leave your house, it’s a crime.”

Southern discusses ‘back to school’ plans
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

RACINE — The
Southern Local Board
of Education heard from
administrators, staff and
Meigs County Health
Commissioner Marc Barr
on Thursday evening as
it works to ﬁnalize a plan
for the 2020-21 school
year, which will begin on
Sept. 8.
Supt. Tony Deem
stated that, at this time,
the recommendation
he plans to make to the
board at the July 27
meeting is for students
to “return to the class-

room ﬁve days a week
with a lot of caveats.”
Deem added that the
district would offer full
online instruction to
meet the needs of the
kids whose parents do
not want to send them
back into the school
full-time or who could
not, for medical or
other reasons, send the
student back to school.
The online instruction
would mirror that of the
classroom as much as
possible, stated Deem.
He added that he would
want the same lessons
taught to both groups
of students so that if

they were to return to
the classroom at a later
date they would not be
behind.
Deem explained that
parents have been completing a survey asking
if they would want their
child to take part in traditional instruction or
remote learning. Southern Elementary Principal
Tricia McNickle stated
that of the district’s 501
students a survey has
been completed for, 364
indicated they would
want to do in person
instruction, with 137
indicating they prefer
online learning.

The commitment to
do virtual learning would
need to be a semesterlong commitment stated
Deem, noting that it
would not be feasible for
students to go back and
forth between in person
and online classes.
With the reduced numbers provided by some
students going to online
learning, it would be
possible for the remaining students to be in the
classroom with the necessary six feet of separation. Deem said that

Rockets Over Rio to be held with precautions
By Sharla Moody
Special to OVP

RIO GRANDE, Ohio
— Rockets Over Rio is
set to happen this October but with some adjustments due to the COVID19 pandemic.
“People need something like this. This
has been a bad year on
everyone,” Matt Easter,
the mayor of Rio Grande,
said. “We’re just trying
to put on an event that
can still bring people
together while still keeping them apart.”
The event is known for
its spectacular ﬁreworks
display. This will be the

fourteenth year that it
has taken place, but until
very recently, organizers
were afraid the event
would be canceled due

to the public health crisis. As of July 15, Gallia
County has had a total of
25 cases (22 conﬁrmed,
three probable), accord-

ing to the Gallia County
Health Department.
According to Easter,
Rockets Over Rio will
be structured around
public health measures to
ensure that the event still
safely takes place.
“It’s going to be a lot
different than the past,”
Easter said.
Organizers are “working hand in hand with
the state of Ohio, the
university, the Health
Department,” he added.

ODH projects doubling current testing capacity
By Jake Zuckerman
Ohio Capital Journal

After chronic testing shortages
marred the ﬁrst few months of
its COVID-19 response, the Ohio
Department of Health projects
it will double its current testing
capacity by November.
ODH plans to complete diagnostic testing of more than 1 million
Ohioans per month for the new
coronavirus by November and con-

duct serologic (antibody) testing
on another 450,000 per month as
well, according to strategy documents submitted to the federal
government.
“Serology will serve an important role in reopening the economy and identifying communities
that are vulnerable to COVID-19
outbreaks,” the documents state.
“In addition, the state continues to
closely monitor advances in saliva
testing, rapid point-of-care test-

ing, antigen tests and home-based
tests.”
The “Overarching Jurisdictional
SARS-COV-2 Testing Strategy”
documents, provided on request
by Gov. Mike DeWine’s ofﬁce,
were submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a requirement attached to
a congressional COVID-19 relief
package.

as well this month, inching past 6%.
To scale up testing as
planned, ODH will hire
new staff, purchase lab
equipment, and procure
millions of swabs, media,
and reagents. The document does not spell out
how ODH plans to go
about the procurement
or how much it will cost.
The infrastructure
expansions will be
necessary to meet an
increased demand, fragile supply chain and “the
expected resurgence of
COVID-19 corresponding to the traditional ﬂu
season.”
Melanie Amato, an
ODH spokeswoman,
said in an emailed statement that Ohio has
“signiﬁcantly” expanded
testing, raising its sevenday average from about
9,000 in May to more
than 20,000 today.
She said there’s much
to be learned about what
serology test results
mean but there’s consensus it will become
more and more prevalent, especially as more
research is available. The
CDC says it’s not yet
known whether people
with antibodies can
become reinfected.

In terms of research,
ODH is working with
the Ohio State University to test about 1,200
randomly sampled Ohio
adults for current (via
diagnostic testing) and
past (antibody) infection
with the coronavirus.
“The results will be
representative of the
state and will help Ohio’s
leaders make informed
decisions about the physical health and economic
well-being of Ohioans,”
Amato said.
“Governor DeWine
has and will continue to
advocate for expanded
testing, and we believe
the state’s plan positions
us to help implement
the measures necessary
to control community
spread and protect Ohioans from the pandemic.”

Military medics deploy in California, Texas as virus surges
By Freida Frisaro
and David Crary
Associated Press

FORT LAUDERDALE,
Fla. — Teams of military
medics were deployed in
Texas and California to
help hospitals deluged
by coronavirus patients,
as Miami area authorities began stepping up
enforcement Friday of
a mask requirement —
echoing efforts in many
parts of the world to contain surging infections.
In Houston, an 86-person Army medical team
worked to take over a
wing of United Memorial
Medical Center. In California, military doctors,
nurses and other health
care specialists were
being deployed to eight
hospitals facing stafﬁng
shortages amid a recordbreaking case numbers.
For millions of parents in the U.S., Friday
brought new information
about how schools would
cope with the pandemic
after summer vacation
ends.
California Gov. Gavin
Newsom laid out strict
criteria for school reopenings that make it unlikely
that most districts will
have classroom instruction in the fall. The guidance mandates that public
schools in counties that
are on a monitoring list
for rising coronavirus
infections cannot hold
in-person classes and will
have to meet rigid criteria
for reopening.
They also include a
mandate that students
above 2nd grade and
all staff wear masks in
school.
Texas gave public
schools permission to
keep campuses closed
for more than 5 million
students well into the
fall. Under the new guidelines, schools can hold
online-only instruction
for up to the ﬁrst eight
weeks of the school year,
potentially pushing a
return to campus in some
cities until November.
Most Chicago children
would return to the classroom two days a week

Rockets

and spend the other three
days learning remotely
once the school year
begins under a tentative
plan outlined by ofﬁcials
from the nation’s thirdlargest school district.
A ﬁnal decision about
in-person instruction for
fall classes for the district’s more than 300,000
students won’t come until
late August.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds announced she
would override local
school districts and
require students to spend
at least half of their
schooling in classrooms.
Her proclamation drew
immediate criticism from
the state teachers union.
Several states have
been reporting record
numbers this week, contributing to a surge in the
national death rate. The
seven-day rolling average for daily new deaths
has risen 34% from two
weeks ago, while the case
count in that period shot
up 43%.
Florida reported 128
new deaths Friday and
11,345 new cases.
Texas reported 10,000
new cases for the third
straight day Thursday
and 129 additional
deaths. California reported its largest two-day
total of conﬁrmed cases,
nearly 20,000, along with
258 deaths over 48 hours.
There were signs across
the Sunbelt that the virus
was stretching authorities’ capacity to respond.
The medical examiner’s
ofﬁce in metro Phoenix
has gotten portable storage coolers and ordered
more to handle an inﬂux
of bodies — reminiscent
of New York City at the
height of the pandemic
there.
In South Carolina,
some hospitals are being
squeezed: The number of
patients hospitalized with
COVID-19 is increasing
rapidly, while nurses and
other workers are also
getting infected when
they are off work, said Dr.
Wendell James, a senior
vice president with Prisma Health who is based

United Memorial Medical Center’s Dr. Joseph Varon, right, talks with military members of the Urban Augmentation Medical Task Force on
Thursday in Houston. Soldiers will treat COVID-19 patients inside a wing at the hospital as Texas receives help from across the country
to deal with its coronavirus surge.

“The majority of the
illness we see in our nursing staffs and our support staff is community
spread,” he said. “Almost
all of it I can’t control.”
In Florida, Miami-Dade
County’s commission
gave code and ﬁre inspectors authority to issue
tickets of up to $100 for
individuals and $500 for
businesses not complying
with guidelines to wear
masks and practice social
distancing. Police ofﬁcers
already had this enforcement power.
“We’re going to put a
heck of a lot of people out
there,” said Mayor Carlos
Gimenez. “Our people are
going to go everywhere.”
Gimenez said that too
few people, especially
younger people, have
been following the “new
normal” guidelines, so the
county needed another
enforcement tool.
At least half of the
50 states have adopted
requirements for wearing
face coverings.
But in Georgia, Gov.
Brian Kemp has banned
cities and counties from
requiring face coverings.
He sued Atlanta late
Thursday to prevent it

from defying his order,
but Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said
she was prepared to go
to court to maintain the
local mask requirement.
Worldwide, governments are frantically trying to prevent and control
fresh outbreaks and keep
their economies running
as the pandemic accelerates in some regions
and threatens to come
roaring back in others.
Globally, conﬁrmed cases
numbered more than
13.8 million Friday and
COVID-19 deaths totaled
more than 590,000.
To cope with the
pandemic’s fallout, the
United Nations said it is
increasing to $10.3 billion
its appeal for humanitarian aid.
Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the U.N. Ofﬁce
for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs,
said in Geneva that the

number of people who
need assistance has more
than doubled during the
pandemic to about 250
million.
India’s total conﬁrmed
cases surpassed 1 million,
the third-highest number
behind the United States
and Brazil, and its death
toll reached more than
25,000. That followed
Brazil’s announcement
Thursday evening that its
conﬁrmed cases exceeded
2 million, including
76,000 deaths.
The continuing surge
in India — where experts
believe the vast majority
of cases are still being
missed — drove home
concerns over the readiness of some countries to
cope with outbreaks that
could test feeble health
care systems.
In sub-Saharan Africa,
which already had the
world’s greatest shortage
of medical personnel,

nearly 10,000 health
workers in 40 countries
have been infected with
the coronavirus, the
World Health Organization said.
In Spain, which earlier
in the pandemic was one
of the world’s hardest hit
countries, health authorities asked the 5.5 million
residents of Barcelona
to stay at home as much
as possible to stem the
virus’ spread.
British Prime Minister
Boris Johnson charted a
different course, announcing that as of Aug. 1
the government was no
longer asking people to
avoid public transit and
would stop advising workers in England to work
from home.
The U.K.’s ofﬁcial
death toll, which stood
at more than 45,000 as
of Friday, has for several
weeks been the highest in
Europe.

Spend a day on the water
A look at kayaking
in the area

OHIO VALLEY — Kayaking is an outdoor activity that has taken off in
popularity in recent years,
and this year, kayaks are
ﬂying off retailers’ shelves
as the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed many
into the great outdoors to
social distance.
In Ohio Valley Publishing’s readership area (and
nearby counties), there
are ample locations for
kayakers to “paddle out”
no matter the skill level.
Mason County
In Mason County, Krodel Park in Point Pleasant
offers easy access to its
lake and offers kayak and
pedal boat rentals at its
Yak Shak. The Yak Shak
is open Wednesdays-Sundays from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
Pedal boat rentals costs
$20 per hour, a single
kayak costs $10 per hour
and the tandem kayak
costs $15 per hour.
Though there is a cost
for rentals, there is no
charge for those who wish
to bring their own kayaks
to the lake to explore the
shoreline.
Almost directly across
from the entrance to
Krodel Park, is the Point
Pleasant Boat Launch,
allowing kayakers easy
access to the Ohio River.
This public launch is used
primarily for pleasure
boats and can be busy at
times.
Kayaking is also permitted at the McClintic Wildlife Management Area
and is popular with those
also looking to catch a
few ﬁsh while paddling
out. The McClintic ponds
are located on McClintic
Wildlife Management
Area in Mason County,
six miles north of Point
Pleasant and eight miles
south of Mason. It is
accessible from Point
Pleasant and Mason by
State Route 62.

wanting to get out and
paddle a kayak, with various locations to drop in
throughout Gallia County.
Raccoon Creek Paddles
and Oars, located at the
former canoe livery on
Bob Evans Farm in Rio
Grande, offers access to
Racoon Creek via private
bookings for groups and
can be reached at 740645-9762.
Tycoon Lake east of
Rio Grande provides a
large area for paddlers
not wanting to go downstream and provides easy
access in and out of the
water. However, at this
time, the water level has
been lowered for dam
construction and work on
one of the boat launches.
This week, the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources stated though
the work is ongoing, boating and kayaking is still
permitted, and a possibility, at the lake. The project
at Tycoon Lake should be
completed by this fall.
Symmes Creek also provides excellent views and
paddling while the water
is high, as do other small
creeks in Gallia. Symmes
Creek is about 75 miles
long and runs through the
western portion of Gallia, giving prime views
of countryside farms and
some of Wayne National
Forest.
Swan Creek, which
runs near Swan Creek
Road in the southern
portion of Gallia also provides kayak enthusiasts a
chance to get their oars in
the water.

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

Understanding E. Coli
E. Coli (Escherichia
Coli), are a large group of
bacteria that naturally live
in the intestines of people
and animals, especially
cattle. Most types of E.
Coli are harmless and
some are actually beneﬁcial to our guts. However,
there are a few that cause
illness when encountered.
According to the CDC,
some kinds of E. Coli
can cause diarrhea, while
others cause urinary tract
infections (UTI), respiratory illness and pneumonia, and other illnesses.
The most common E.
Coli, the one that causes
foodborne illness, is
typically spread via the
fecal-oral-route. This is
when infected feces end
up in the mouth. This can
happen when a person
doesn’t wash their hands

restroom then deposits

GASSAWAY, W.Va. — In an effort to remain
fully committed to the safety and wellness of customers and employees, GoMart, Inc. is requiring
that all customers wear a mask or face covering
when visiting any of the company’s stores effective immediately. The only exemptions are those
outlined by West Virginia Governor Jim Justice,
which includes children under the age of 9, individuals with certain breathing conditions and
those who cannot otherwise remove a mask on
their own.
“With the number of conﬁrmed cases of COVID19 spiking across the country, we want to do our
part to help slow the spread and protect those
around us,” said General Manager Phil Shuman.
“In addition to the enhanced cleaning, disinfection, social distancing and other precautionary
measures we are already taking, we are now asking our customers to join our family of employees
in wearing a mask or face covering inside all of
our stores.”
GoMart, Inc. has 123 stores across West Virginia, Virginia and Ohio. Currently, West Virginia and
Virginia have a state-wide mask mandate in place.
“We are abiding by the mandate that has already
been put in place in these states and going a step
further by putting out a company-wide mask
mandate, which allows us to maintain consistency
across all stores,” Shuman said. “We believe this is
in everyone’s best interest, and we appreciate the
understanding and cooperation.”

Ohio University football opener canceled
Opponent’s conference suspends fall competitions
By Sarah Hawley

Alex Hawley | OVP Sports

Ohio’s De’Montre Tuggle (24) breaks a 55-yard touchdown run, during the
Bobcats’ 41-20 victory over Rhode Island in the 2019 season opener at Peden
Stadium in Athens, Ohio.

ATHENS — Ohio University’s 2020 football season (and
home) opener has been canceled as it’s planned opponent
will not play fall sports this
year.
“Earlier today (Thursday),
I spoke with North Carolina
Central University Director
of Athletics Dr. Ingrid Wicker
McCree, who notiﬁed us that
the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference would be suspending
sports competition for the
fall 2020 season. As a result
of the MEAC’s decision, our
2020 football season opener

against North Carolina Central
on September 5 will not be
played as previously scheduled.
I appreciate the outreach from
Dr. Wicker McCree, and we
agreed to continue discussions
regarding future scheduling,”
stated Ohio University Director
of Atheletics Julie Cromer.
The current football schedule
has the team opening on Sept.
12 at Boston College before
hosting Marshall on Sept. 19.
The announcement came
on the same day that the MidAmerican Conference, of which
Ohio University is a member,
announced it is delaying the
start of the fall sports season
for “Olympic sports”.

A statement from the
Mid-American Conference
explained that “with all due
caution for the health and wellbeing of the student-athletes,
coaches and others involved, it
will postpone the start of ﬁeld
hockey, men’s soccer, women’s
soccer, women’s volleyball and
men’s and women’s cross country competition until September 3. The decision will provide
additional time to prepare for
the safe return to competition
on an adjusted timeline.”
The statement from the MAC
further explained that the decision aligns with other sports

NCAA lays out plan
for playing but warns
of surging pandemic
By Ralph D. Russo
AP College Football Writer

The NCAA handed down its latest guidelines for
playing through a pandemic while also sounding
an alarm: The prospect of having a fall semester
with football and other sports is looking grim.
If the games can go on, the NCAA says college
athletes should be tested for COVID-19 no more
than 72 hours before they play, players with highrisk exposures to the coronavirus should be quarantined for 14 days and everybody on the sideline
should wear a mask.
The nation’s largest governing body for college
sports released an updated guidance Thursday to
help member schools navigate competition, but
it comes as the pandemic rages on. Around the
country, the number of COVID-19 cases are on the
rise and many states have slowed reopenings or
reinstated social-distancing restrictions on some
businesses.
“This document lays out the advice of health
care professionals as to how to resume college
sports if we can achieve an environment where
COVID-19 rates are manageable,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement. “Today,
sadly, the data point in the wrong direction. If
there is to be college sports in the fall, we need to
get a much better handle on the pandemic.”
The recommendations were developed by the
NCAA COVID-19 Advisory Panel, Autonomy-5
Medical Advisory Group, representing the ACC,
Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC, and other medical groups.
The Autonomy-5 or Power Five conferences also
intend to provide their own similar guidance to
schools. A copy of that document, which has not
been ﬁnalized, was obtained by The Associated

Reds know all about interrupted seasons
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Through player strikes
and a lockout, the Cincinnati Reds have experienced notable moments
with interrupted seasons.
They think they’re in
good shape heading into
the latest.
The Reds were one
of the biggest offseason
spenders, committing
$165 million to ﬁve players in a roster overhaul.
By signing the biggest
free agent contracts in
franchise history, they
rekindled interest in a
fan base turned off by six
straight losing seasons.
Cincinnati gets to see
how its investment plays
out in a unique, condensed form coming out
of Major League Baseball’s four-month freeze
due to the pandemic. The
Reds are optimistic it will
come together during the
60-game season.
“We’re all reacting to
this on the ﬂy,” said Dick
Williams, president of
baseball operations. “It’s
going to be fascinating to
see which organization
gets it right.”
Cincinnati knows
ﬁrsthand how it could go
either way.
The 1981 Reds had the
best record in the majors
but failed to make the
playoffs. A midseason

player strike resulted in a
divided season, and Cincinnati ﬁnished second in
both halves.
A lockout pushed back
the 1990 season, but this
time the Reds used it to
their advantage, getting
off to a 33-12 start on
their way to their last
World Series title.
In 1994, they were in
ﬁrst place when a strike
ended the season. They
excelled when baseball
resumed in late April
1995, reaching the NL
Championship Series
before losing to Atlanta.
A strong showing in
the 60-game season this
year would help considerably in getting the
franchise turned around
again.
“A lot of people on
this team are very aware
of the opportunity that
we have and the amount
of talent we have in the
clubhouse,” said newcomer Nick Castellanos.

together amid the interrupted circumstances.
“For whatever reason,
this team has really come
together,” manager David
Bell said. “There’s a real
combined, team focus
right now. There’s a goal
this team has. I think we
just have the right mix of
guys.”

Rookies to watch
The Reds ﬁlled their
longstanding need for
a leadoff hitter by signing Akiyama, the ﬁrst
player born in Japan to
play for Cincinnati. He’ll
get much of the early
attention as he tries to
transfer his success with
the Seibu Lions to a new
league. Bell had him in
the lineup regularly as
the Reds ramped up with
intrasquad games.
“He came in so ready,”
Bell said. “He didn’t
appear to take maybe
even a day off, from what
I could tell. I also think
being in another new
environment, here in

round it out.
Dh? No dilemma
Adding the DH for the
condensed season plays
into the Reds’ hands.
The free agent acquisitions left them with an
overloaded outﬁeld,
which can now be used to
supplement the everyday
batting order.
“We built this team to
have a DH,” Williams
said. “We’ve got hitters, and the ability to
get more bats into the
lineup is a great thing for
us. From a competitive
standpoint: advantage
Reds.”
Healthy this time
Had the season started
as originally planned,
two starters wouldn’t
have been ready. Center
ﬁelder Nick Senzel and
third baseman Eugenio
Suarez were still recovering from shoulder
surgery, although Suarez
was close to being ready.
Both are fully healthy
after the extra months to
heal.
“Let’s go,” Suarez said.

of the virus have caused
The Big Ten and Pacactivities to be shut

that they would play only down at schools such as

Ohio State, Kansas State,
Houston and North Carolina.
At many school, positive tests among athletes
have been minimal. On
Thursday, Oklahoma
reported it had zero
positive tests among 98
football players tested
the day before.
The problem is colleges and their athletic departments are
not operating in a true
bubble the way the NBA
is doing with its teams
in Florida. If states and
communities are struggling to contain the
virus, it makes it more
difﬁcult to keep athletes
safe — especially when
the full student body
arrives on campus.
It also becomes more
problematic for athletic
departments to potentially contribute to the
spread of infection by
gathering large groups
of people to engage in
contact sports, and then
sending them back out
on campus and into the
surrounding communities.
“So nothing that
occurs to the student
athlete is in a silo,” said
Dr. Chris Kratochvil,
executive director of the
Global Center for Health
Security at University
of Nebraska Medical
Center. “And certainly
we want to protect them,
but we want to protect
the broader community
as well.”
Kratochvil, who heads
the Big Ten’s Task Force
for Emerging Infectious
Diseases, said the availability of tests and how
quickly results can be
delivered, the availability
of personal protective
equipment used by
healthcare workers and
the stress on hospitals
will all be considered
when determining
whether college sports
can be played.
“Everything is connected,” he said.

He stated that he
would not be comfortable with 100 percent
of the students being in
the building and being
able to provide the necessary social distancing

When switching does
take place, the desks
would be disinfected
before the next class

partners, the widely

and ofﬁcial military unit
ﬂags.
Confederate
ﬂags, monuments
and military
base names have
become a national
ﬂashpoint in the
weeks since the
death of George
Floyd. Protesters
decrying racism
have targeted Confederate monuments in multiple cities. Some state
ofﬁcials are considering
taking them down, but
they face vehement opposition in some areas.
Army Gen. Mark Milley, chair of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said in
a statement that the
American ﬂag is the symbol of the Constitution
that service members
swore to protect. He
added, “Each of us must
create (and) maintain an
environment of cohesion
across the Joint Force.
One way to do that is to
always honor our American Flag.”
According to a Defense
Department ofﬁcial
familiar with the matter,
the decision not to name
a speciﬁc prohibited ﬂag
was to ensure the policy
would be apolitical and
could withstand potential
legal challenges based
on free speech. The ofﬁcial said that the White
House is aware of the
new policy and that it
takes effect immediately.
Trump has ﬂatly
rejected any notion of
changing base names and
has defended the ﬂying
of the Confederate ﬂag,
saying it’s a freedom of
speech issue.

WASHINGTON
— After weeks
of wrangling, the
Pentagon is banning displays of
the Confederate
ﬂag on military
installations, in a
carefully worded
Esper
policy that doesn’t
mention the word
ban or that speciﬁc ﬂag.
The policy, laid out in a
memo released Friday,
was described by ofﬁcials
as a creative way to bar
the ﬂag’s display without
openly contradicting
or angering President
Donald Trump, who has
defended people’s rights
to display it.
Signed by Defense
Secretary Mark Esper
on Thursday night, the
memo lists the types of
ﬂags that may be displayed at military installations. The Confederate
ﬂag is not among them
— thus barring its display without singling it
out in a “ban.” Details
of the policy were ﬁrst
reported by the AP.
“We must always
remain focused on what
uniﬁes us, our sworn
oath to the Constitution
and our shared duty
to defend the nation,”
Esper’s memo states.
“The ﬂags we ﬂy must
accord with the military
imperatives of good
order and discipline,
treating all our people
with dignity and respect,
and rejecting divisive
symbols.”
Acceptable ﬂags listed
in the memo include the
U.S. and state banners,
ﬂags of other allies and

depend how many people the student had come
in contact with, with the
possible need to quarantine a bus driver, one or
more teachers, or other
students.
As for if one positive
case would shut down
the school, Barr stated
that the health department does not have that
decision or authority, but
as with the ﬂu in early
2020 can help to advise
on the speciﬁc situation
should it arise.
Deem stated that
should there be a positive case, they would
look at the speciﬁc situation to see if it should be
a classroom shut down,
a larger group or the
district. If that were the
case then plans would
already be in place to
move to remote learning for those students
during the 14 days span
required before school
could resume.
The district will be
looking at utilizing Schoology for online work,
which would also for
work to be downloaded
onto devices for students
to work ofﬂine if needed.
Deem said the district is
able to provide Chromebooks for students third
grade and up, and will
be looking at options for
the younger students.
Deem stated he hoped
to have a template in
place by the July 27
meeting in order to
make a decision and
communicate that with
parents.
Deem stated that the
district will take all precautions at the school
to provide a good, safe
face-to-face education,
while doing the same for
those online.

teachers could wear
face shields rather than
masks, with Barr stating
that the requirements
of the state have been
interpreted to mean
that either would work
for teachers. Speciﬁc
concerns were noted for
teachers or staff who
may have asthma or
other medical condition
which make wearing a
mask difﬁcult, with the
face shield noted as a
possible alternative for
them, and others where
appropriate.
Deem noted that they
have also been discussing ways to focus on
the mental health of the
students and teachers
during what will be a
very different school
year. They are looking at
various options, including looking into services
with Hopewell Health
Centers.
McNickle stated that
in the parent meetings
and surveys some of the
concerns have been over
transportation, recess,
school meals, limited
internet access, the need
to work limiting ability
to do online education
and other items.
Likewise, the teachers
and staff questions and
concerns expressed have
included availability of
masks, what recess will
look like, how notiﬁcations will take place
should there be a case,
and training on the
platforms to be used for
online instruction.
Teacher Missy Hoback
asked Barr what could
happen if there were to
be a positive test in the
school. Barr stated that
it could “get real bad real
quick” when you consider what a day could look
like for a student from
the time they get on the
bus in the morning until
they are picked up after
an after-school practice.
He added that it would

would also look different,
possibly utilizing more
building exits in order
for more space between
students.
Deem asked Barr to
explain how “contact
tracing” works with
regard to exposure to
COVID-19. Barr stated
that when a person’s test
result comes back positive the health department receives the alert
and will then make contact with the person. An
interview is conducted
with the individual to
determine who they have
been in contact with. A
contact is deﬁned in this
case as any one who the
person has been within
six feet of for 15 minutes
or more or who they
have had direct contact
with. This relies on the
individual to recall who
they have spent time
with and for how long.
The health department
must then reach out to
the contacts, but can
only tell them that they
have been in contact
with a conﬁrmed case.
They are not permitted
to give the name of the
infected person. Barr
added that this could be
difﬁcult when it comes to
schools as HIPAA does
not allow for names to be
provided.
Barr told the board
much of the same information he had provided
to the Meigs Local Board
of Education, including
his concerns over no hospital being in the county
should there be severe
cases, as well as limited
testing in the county,
noting that Meigs County must rely on other
counties in the area for
those things.
He added that hospitalization and ICU admission numbers are important to monitor as they
demonstrate the severity
of the cases.
Barr was asked if
