Junior Fair activities to proceed, including livestock sale By Kayla (Hawthorne) Dunham khawthorne@aimmediamidwest. com ROCK SPRINGS — The Meigs County Fair Board had to change its plans from having a “full fair” to only junior fair events after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine made the announcement last week. The changes caused the fair board to cancel all track events, grandstand events, and carnival events. Fair goers must also wear a facial covering while in attendance. Gov. DeWine announced that all fairs in the state can only be junior fairs after July 31. “Please understand this was a state level decision, not local,” the Meigs County Fair Board posted on its social media page. The fair board met on Monday evening to discuss the rule and schedule changes. Tuesday morning, the board released the new junior fair schedule for Aug. 17 - Aug. 22. A few of the “highlights” of the changes include livestock animals arriving the evening before their respective shows from 7-9 p.m. Breeding projects will come in with the market animals, but are allowed to leave after the show. The market livestock must stay on the grounds until after the sale on Saturday, because the fair is a “terminal fair,” according to board president Wes Karr. Individuals and families with camping and parking spots reserved for this year will have their payment and reservations transfer to 2021. For those who would like to camp at the fair this year, the fee will be $175 for the week. Admission to the fair will be $5. The only gate available for entrance will be the cattle barn gate from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. each day. There will not be 4-H, FFA, Boy Scout or Girl Scout booths in the junior fair building as usual. The still projects will be displayed in the Thompson Roush Building, Karr conﬁrmed. Clubs will not be required to display their exhibits this year. “Your board has put a lot of effort into making the best of the situation we were given,” the board posted on social media. “We look forward to a successful Jr. Fair!” The schedule for the 2020 Meigs County Jr. See BOARD | 8 DeWine orders kids to wear masks as schools grind to reopen COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio children in kindergarten through high school will be required to wear masks if they return to in-person classes this fall, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Tuesday as he pleaded with parents and educators to abide by the state’s health orders. The order came as districts with in-person plans are already scrambling with weeks and sometimes just days left to adjust to an unprecedented learning environment. The mask order for students “gives us the best shot to keep Ohio’s kids and educators safe and physically in school,” DeWine said during his brieﬁng Tuesday. New cases in Ohio remain high, with 1,143 reported Tuesday, up from over 900 on Monday, marking a 21-day daily case average of 1,291.

There are 148 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 5, 1974, the White House released transcripts of subpoenaed tape recordings showing that President Richard Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, had discussed a plan in June 1972 to use the CIA to thwart the FBI’s Watergate investigation; revelation of the tape sparked Nixon’s resignation. On this date: In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Adm. David G. Farragut led his ﬂeet to victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama. In 1914, what’s believed to be the ﬁrst electric trafﬁc light system was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, at the intersection of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue. In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the 200-meter dash at the Berlin Olympics, collecting the third of his four gold medals. In 1953, Operation Big Switch began as remaining prisoners taken during the Korean War were exchanged at Panmunjom. In 1961, the amuse- ment park Six Flags Over Texas had its ofﬁcial grand opening day in Arlington. In 1962, movie star Marilyn Monroe, 36, was found dead in her Los Angeles home; her death was ruled a probable suicide from “acute barbiturate poisoning.” South African antiapartheid activist Nelson Mandela was arrested on charges of leaving the country without a passport and inciting workers to strike; it was the beginning of 27 years of imprisonment. In 1964, U.S. Navy pilot Everett Alvarez Jr. became the ﬁrst American ﬂier to be shot down and captured by North Vietnam; he was held prisoner until February 1973. In 1966, the Beatles’ “Revolver” album was released in the United Kingdom on the Parlophone label; it was released in the United States three days later by Capitol Records. (Songs included “Eleanor Rigby” and “Yellow Submarine,” which were also issued as a double A-side single on Aug. 5 and 8.) In 1981, the federal government began ﬁring air trafﬁc controllers who had gone out on strike. In 1984, actor Richard Burton died in Geneva, Switzerland, at age 58. In 1991, Democratic congressional leaders formally launched an investigation into whether the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign had secretly conspired with Iran to delay release of American hostages until after the presidential election, thereby preventing an “October surprise” that supposedly would have beneﬁted President Jimmy Carter. (A task force later concluded there was “no credible evidence” of such a deal.) In 2002, the coralencrusted gun turret of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor was raised from the ﬂoor of the Atlantic, nearly 140 years after the historic warship sank during a storm. American University in Washington, President Barack Obama assailed critics of his Iran nuclear deal as “selling a fantasy” to the American people, warning Congress that blocking the accord would damage the nation’s credibility and increase the likelihood of more war in the Middle East. Actor Jennifer Aniston secretly married actor-director Justin Theroux at their home in Bel Air, California.

(AP) — Hurricane Isaias has made landfall near Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, according to the National Hurricane Center. The hurricane touched down just after 11 p.m. on Monday with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (136 km/h). Coastal shops and restaurants closed early, power began to flicker at oceanfront hotels and even the most adventurous of beachgoers abandoned the sand Monday night as newly restrengthened Hurricane Isaias sped toward the Carolinas. The U.S. National Hurricane Center warned oceanside home dwellers to brace for storm surge up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) and up to 8 inches (20 centimeters) of rain in spots, as Isaias moved up the coast. The Carolinas weren’t the only states at risk. “All those rains could produce flash flooding across portions of the eastern Carolinas and mid-Atlantic, and even in the northeast U.S.,” said Daniel Brown, senior hurricane specialist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center. A tropical storm warning extended all the way up to Maine, where flash Hoop From page 1 this year was ultimately the best decision for all involved, and he hopes the event is even bigger flooding was possible in some areas on Wednesday. The center also warned of possible tornadoes in North Carolina on Monday night and early Tuesday, and from eastern Virginia to southern New England later Tuesday. Isaias (pronounced ees-ah-EE-ahs) was upgraded again from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane at 11 p.m. EDT. The storm was centered about 40 miles (64 kilometers) east northeast of Myrtle Beach. It was moving north northeast at 22 mph (35 kph). Isaias killed two people in the Caribbean and roughed up the Bahamas but remained at sea as it brushed past Florida over the weekend, providing some welcome relief to emergency managers who had to accommodate mask-wearing evacuees in storm shelters. President Donald Trump on Monday described Isaias as “very serious.” “Storm surge and inland flooding are possible and everyone needs to remain vigilant until it passes,” Trump said. Authorities in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, ordered swimmers out of the water to avoid rough surf and strong rip currents. By nightfall, power began to flicker at beachfront hotels as Isaias crossed the last bit of warm water on its path toward the U.S. mainland. Still, on this part of the South Carolina and North Carolina coasts that has been affected to varying degrees by seven tropical storms or hurricanes since 2014, residents weren’t panicking. “It’s just going to be a lot of wind and high tide,” said Mike Fuller, who has lived along the coast for more than a decade. As the storm neared the shore, a gauge on a pier in Myrtle Beach recorded its third highest water level since it was set up in 1976. Only Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and Hurricane Matthew in 2016 pushed more salt water inland. Oceanfront streets throughout the area flooded as the sea ended up nearly 10 feet (3 meters) above low tide. Up the coast in southern North Carolina, high winds from Isaias’ inner core knocked down trees and power lines, blocking roads. No major damage was initially reported. Shops and restaurants appeared quieter than usual for a summertime Monday in North Myrtle Beach, but locals blamed COVID-19 more than Isaias. No businesses were boarding up their windows, although some moved outside furniture inside. Wayne Stanley and his family came to the city over the weekend from Julian, North Carolina. He’s never experienced a hurricane, but said he never considered canceling his family’s weeklong vacation either. “I was pretty scared to start off with,” Stanley said Monday. “Then we thought maybe it’s not going to be that bad.” Officials in frequently flooded Charleston, South Carolina, handed out sandbags and opened parking garages so residents on the lowlying peninsula could stow their cars above ground. Forecasters had warned earlier of possible major flooding, but the storm passed faster than expected and only about a dozen streets were flooded. Farther up the coast into North Carolina, the hurricane center predicted storm surges of 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) when Isaias moves onshore. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper warned residents on Monday that the storm could be dangerous regardless of its strength. He urged those evacuating to turn to shelters as a last resort, citing coronavirus risks and the need to operate shelters at reduced capacity to allow for social distancing. “Whether it’s labeled a tropical storm or a hurricane, you should take this storm seriously, and make sure your family is ready,” Cooper said. Ferry operators wrapped up evacuations from Ocracoke Island in North Carolina’s Outer Banks on Monday, moving more than 3,500 people and 1,700 vehicles off the island over four days. Island officials were taking no chances after taking a beating less than a year ago from Hurricane Dorian. Evacuation orders also have been issued for Hatteras Island north of Ocracoke. Morgan Stewart said many evacuating residents had come into the store where she works in the inland community of Kinston to buy tarps, batteries, flashlights and other supplies. “You can tell they’re worried,” said Stewart, who saw cars parked on higher ground over the weekend as she secured her boat at a marina. Since forming last week, Isaias has been buffeted by competing forces both trying to kill and strengthen it, said University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy. “Of all the places it could be, it found the warmest water it could,” which fuels storm development, McNoldy said. “And yet it is struggling.” That’s because dry air kept working its way into the storm at low and mid-levels, which chokes storms. Isaias’ passage near Florida over the weekend was particularly unwelcome to authorities already dealing with surging coronavirus caseloads. The storm brought heavy rain and flooding to the state, forcing authorities to close outdoor virus testing sights, as well as beaches and parks. Officials lashed signs to palm trees so they wouldn’t blow away. About 150 people had to keep masks on while sheltering in Palm Beach County, which had a voluntary evacuation order for people living in homes that can’t withstand dangerous winds, said emergency management spokeswoman Lisa De La Rionda. when the eighth version finally comes around in 2021. “The cancellation of this year’s tournament was not a decision that was easily made,” Pugh said. “We are devastated for the community, par- ticipants, and downtown businesses that all benefit from The Hoop Project. However, based on the current situation in regards to COVID-19 we felt as if canceling was the right decision to make to protect our participants and all of the numerous volunteers that make the tournament a huge success every year. We plan to be back and bigger than ever in 2021.” The Hoop Project first came to the Old French City in July of 2013, and has hosted over 100 teams each of the last five years, drawing competitors from as Florida. The 2020 event was originally planed for July 18-19, but was backed up to Aug. 22-23 earlier at the start of July. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

All participants must remain in isolation with teammates and team staff from the time the test is administered. Athletes and staff are required to have daily temperature checks and wear face coverings at all times while outside room and within their quarantine areas. Now, Section 10 requirements state that each team member in a contact sport must prove that he or she has passed a coronavirus test within 72 hours of that competition. For football or cross country, each athlete would need to be tested — and pass — on a weekly basis leading up to the event. Soccer, and to some degree cross country, has the potential for multiple games in the same school week — making a prior 72-hour test a little bit harder to realistic produce. It also adds another layer of expense to athletic departments that are likely looking to save money this fall. Roughly 40 schools in the state of Ohio have either cancelled or suspended fall sports already, based on the recommendation of local health ofﬁcials. The Order will stay in effect until the state of emergency declared by Governor Mike DeWine no longer exists or the state health department rescinds or modiﬁes the Order. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

St. Louis series at Detroit off after positive Cards tests MILWAUKEE (AP) — Seven St. Louis Cardinals players and six staff members have tested positive for COVID-19, causing Major League Baseball to postpone the team’s four-game series at Detroit. The series was to have been played at Comerica Park from Tuesday through Thursday. “You think about how quickly something like this can spread,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. “Until it touches you, you sometimes might not believe it, but needless to say we know this is very real and we know it moves quickly and it moves silently, but it can infect a lot of people fast.” Mozeliak said that ﬁve of those who tested positive did not show symptoms. He said the others did — headaches, cough, snifﬂes, low-grade fever. “And of those eight, it’s a variety of symptoms but nothing at this point requiring anything like hospitalization,” Mozeliak said. The Cardinals have been in quarantine since Thursday in Milwaukee, where their series with the Brewers was also postponed due to positive tests. The league has postponed 21 games because of virus concerns 12 days into the season. The Cardinals’ situation comes after the Miami Marlins had an outbreak in their traveling party that sidelined half their players, raising concerns about the viability of this pandemic-shortened season. “To this point, unfortunately, we’ve handled this the same way our country’s handled this,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “We put together guidelines that were well-intentioned and protocols, and then we handed them off to 30 individual operators, i.e. states, and asked them to do their best. Adherence to a set of protocols and suggestions and trying to get it right has just not gone well. It just hasn’t gone well. “It’s because this virus is an incredible, difﬁcult opponent. It’s put us behind the 8-ball. I desperately want to play and ﬁnish the season it’s so important for so many people and so many places. But it’s not going well right now. It’s not.” Brewers outﬁelder Lorenzo Cain announced Saturday he wouldn’t play the rest of the season and cited “all of the uncertainty and unknowns surrounding our game at this time.” Teammate Shelby Miller also opted out. Counsell said Monday that “it’s safe to say the news of the Cardinals was jarring and it may have been the ﬁnal straw” for Cain. While all the members of the Cardinals’ traveling party who tested positive have been returned home, the rest of them remain isolated in their Milwaukee hotel rooms. The team is being tested daily. “The hope would be to travel back to St. Louis Wednesday morning, work out Wednesday afternoon and allow players to get their feet moving again, their bodies moving again,” Mozeliak said. “And then on Thursday have a more robust workout and then play Friday.” St. Louis last played July 29 at Minnesota and is tentatively set to resume its schedule this Friday at home against the Chicago Cubs. Mozeliak said he wasn’t sure how the team might reschedule some of these games that have been wiped out with two series getting postponed. “I haven’t really even thought about our schedule much other than hopefully playing Friday,” Mozeliak said. “It’s hard to think about the future when you’re literally trying to just get through the day.” The Cardinals are the second team sidelined by the novel coronavirus since the season started July 23.. The Marlins are set to resume play Tuesday in Baltimore following an outbreak in their traveling party that sidelined half the players. Miami has not played since July 26. Because the outbreak occurred in the visiting clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies were sidelined for a week while they were tested daily.

Big 12 to allow teams to play 1 nonconference game By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Big 12 schools agreed Monday night to play one nonconference football game this year to go along with their nine league contests as plans for the pandemic-altered 2020 season continued to fall into place. The Big 12’s university presidents signed off on a 10-game schedule, adjusted to deal with potential disruptions from COVID-19 that lets schools play one nonconference opponent at home. A speciﬁc start date for conference play was not determined. The conference said in a news release it will likely begin mid-to-late September and the expectation is nonconference games will be completed before league play starts. “We believe this change provides the best opportunity going forward,” Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement. “However, we will undoubtedly need to be ﬂexible as we progress through the season in order to combat the challenges that lie ahead.” The Big 12 championship game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is scheduled for Dec. 5, but could be moved back to Dec. 12 or 19, the league announced. Dec. 19 could pose a scheduling conﬂict with high school football championships at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium and force the Big 12 to relocate. The 10-team Big 12 already plays a ninegame, round-robin conference schedule. Unlike other Power Five conference that have switched to either exclusively (Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC) or mostly (ACC) league games, the Big 12 could not add more conference games without teams playing each other more than once. Several Big 12 teams have already started preseason practice, with Kansas and Oklahoma slated to play FCS teams on Aug. 29. Whether those games remain on that date is unclear. As conferences take steps toward a football season that seems to be in precarious shape because of the pandemic, the NCAA is expected to weigh in Tuesday on fall sports other than majorcollege football. The association’s Board of Governors is scheduled to meet and whether to cancel or postpone NCAA championship events in fall sports such as soccer, volleyball and lower-level football is expected to be a topic. Less than two weeks ago, conference commissioners across Division I encouraged the the board to delay any decision on fall championships. The NCAA does not control regular season competition in any sport — and it has no say at all in major college football — but canceling or postponing fall events could send a conﬂicting message as member schools try to move forward with a fall season, despite concerns about the number of COVID-19 cases around much of the country. The Power Five conferences have billions in television revenue at stake in their ability to stage a football season, and they have decided independently the best way forward is to focus on conference play. Though there are still plenty of details to work out. Only the Pac-12 has a full football schedule with matchups and dates in place among Power Five conferences. The Pac-12 will begin Sept. 26, along with the Southeastern Conference, which is still working on its new 10-game slate. The Atlantic Coast Conference has opponents set for its 10-game conference schedule and will start the weekend of Sept. 12, but no speciﬁc game dates are set. The ACC has also said it will permit its teams to play one nonconference game in its home state. The Big Ten, ﬁrst to announce intentions to go conference-only this season, has yet to release a new schedule, but that could come later this week. Now that the Power Five has declared its intentions the Group of Five conferences can start making plans and ﬁlling holes on their schedules — maybe with Big 12 or ACC teams. American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco has said the AAC could stick with its eight-game conference schedule and let its members plays as many of their four nonconference games as they can salvage or replace. The Mountain West, Conference USA, MidAmerican and Sun Belt conferences are likely to take a similar approach. Early Monday, Texas State from the Sun Belt announced it was moving a nonconference game against SMU up from Sept. 5 to Aug. 29. �NEWS 8 Wednesday, August 5, 2020 Local From page 1 responded preferred remote learning, while 62 percent preferred at least some face-to-face instruction. “We want to honor the wishes of our students and families,” said Gheen of the district moving forward with the blended and remote learning options. Should a student opt for the remote learning, they most commit to that option for at least the ﬁrst nine week/trimester (depending on grade level). Devices would be provided to the students for remote learning. During in person learning days, students would be required to wear masks when riding the bus, entering and exiting the building, in hallways, and any time that a physical distance of at least six feet cannot be maintained. (Editor’s note: this policy is subject to change given an order which Governor Mike DeWine noted during his Tuesday news conference which would mandate masks for K-12 students.) Gheen stated that the approved plan gives the district, its staff, students and their families a starting point for the school Record year, but noted that things could change. “We are going to closely watch those districts who are opening before us, listen to the models and have conversations about what could change as we move closer to the start of the school year,” said Gheen. “There are no models, no blue prints, no data on any of these options. We are all going down a path we have never gone before. Things could change as we move forward and see what is or is not working,” said Gheen. As previously reported, Meigs Local, along with Eastern and Southern, will begin the 2020-21 school year on Sept. 8, moving the start of school from the traditional August start. Additional information on how to select the instruction model for your student, as well as submitting transportation information, is expected to be released by the district on Wednesday. The next regular meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 12 at the district ofﬁce. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

The system followed an analysis that Yost’s ofﬁce undertook last year of a potential loophole involving the reporting of people deemed mentally incompetent to possess a ﬁrearm. Under Ohio law, judicial rulings on such individuals are collected by the Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation. But that agency didn’t have access to the list of Board ceremony and royalty crowning, Ridenour Arena From page 1 3 p.m. — Jr. Fair Dairy Show, Ridenour Arena Fair is as follows: 7-9 p.m. — Beef and Poultry arrival, RidMonday, Aug. 17 8 a.m. — Landscaping enour Arena and Trash Can contest deadline Tuesday, Aug. 18 8-9 a.m. — Dairy 9 a.m. — Poultry arrival, Ridenour Arena Show, small arena 9 a.m. — 4-H Horse 3 p.m. — Jr. Fair Beef Show, Horse Arena Show, Ridenour Arena 10 a.m.-noon — (includes beef breadMeMe’s Custom ing, dairy steer, dairy Embroidery t-shirt give- feeder, beef feeder and away steer shows) Noon — Junior Fair 7-9 p.m. — Sheep Awards ceremony, and Goat arrival, small followed by opening arena looking for the couple as they were familiar with them.

A Deputy was sent and patrolled the area; the vehicle was not found. EMS asked for a deputy to accompany their medics to a home on Bigley Ridge Road reference a call of a female possibly having seizures. A deputy arrived and secured the scene and it was determined to be a medical issue. No further action was taken on this call by the deputy. Dispatch received a call from a female on Blind Hollow Road advising her boyfriend had taken her car without her consent. Deputy Riley was sent to take a report, as he arrived at the scene the suspect returned with the car. The caller then decided she no longer wanted a report. No further action was taken on this call. July 21 Dispatch received a call from a female advising she was being chased through her home by her husband and she needed help. Deputies were immediately dispatched to the scene. Before they arrived, the female called back and said that she had made a mistake and no longer need the deputies to come to her home. She was advised that once the call had been made the deputies well not stop until they ensure her safety in person. Deputies arrived on scene and there were several subjects at the home. Contact was made with the caller and the suspect male. After speaking with witnesses and all involved it was determined that no violence had been committed and it was the female caller that was the primary cause of the incident. The female agreed to leave to home for the night and no further action was taken on this call. July 22 Dispatch received a call of an alarm drop at Twin active concealed weapons permit holders maintained by the Department of Public Safety. A new agreement allows the two departments to share information. Yost’s ofﬁce informed Ohio sheriffs in the 17 counties where the permit holders live of the discrepancy, advised them to verify the ﬁndings and to revoke the permit if the information is conﬁrmed. The list involved 41 current permit holders and one person who had since died. In 35 of the cases, the permit holders were found mentally incompetent after they had received a permit, but sheriffs in those counties weren’t notiﬁed. Under the new system, checks of the two databases will occur regularly, Yost said. Although the 42 represents a fraction of Ohio’s 700,000 concealed-carry permit holders, “even one unlawful license is too many,” Yost said.
