On Friday morning, Overbrook Rehabilitation Center issued the following statement on its Facebook page: ”We have 12 active cases of COVID among employees (11 conﬁrmed and 1 probable). Among residents, we have 10 active cases (8 conﬁrmed and 2 probable). We have had 2 residents pass away with COVID. The employees who have tested positive were exposed prior to the implementation of isolation precautions, indicating containment of the virus at this time. It is believed that this outbreak is due to an employee who was not exhibiting symptoms at the time of the spread. Contrary to FB opinion, the outbreak is in no way related to a new admission. All newly admitted residents are placed in isolation precautions for 14 days, even after receiving a negative test result prior to admission. Overbrook will continue to actively screen all employees and to monitor all residents for changes in condition. All Overbrook employees were tested for COVID on 8/13 and will be retested every two weeks or with the onset of symptoms. Again, thank you to all who have prayed and have shown such sincere support to our staff.” Also, on Friday evening, Overbrook issued an additional state- ment, also on its Facebook page, which read: “This week, due to the outbreak of COVID19 in the facility, Ohio Department of Health completed a survey at Overbrook focused on observation and review of the facility’s strategies and practices aimed to prevent/ manage the spread of COVID-19. Overbrook is proud to announce a deﬁciency-free survey. The staff has done an excellent job dealing with this situation and will continue to do everything possible to protect our residents.” The Meigs County Health Department reported four additional cases on Friday, with none of the new cases linked to Overbrook, said Meigs County Health Department Public Information Ofﬁcer Brody Davis. Meigs County has reported a total of 68 cases, with 37 considered to be active. The Mason County Health Department reported two additional COVID-19 cases on Friday morning, bringing the county total to 68, with 21 considered to be active. The Gallia County Health Department reported ﬁve additional conﬁrmed cases late Thursday.

On Friday evening, the health department indicated to the Gallipolis Daily Tribune an update was forthcoming but was not available by press time for Saturday’s edition. Any new cases and information from Friday’s report will be included in Tuesday’s edition and online at www.mydailytribune.com, when available.

This was a very hard decision for the committee to make but because of the COVID19 unknowns and for the safety and health concerns for everyone, we believe this was the right decision.

Postmaster Louis DeJoy, a former supplychain CEO and a major political donor to Trump and other Republicans, has implemented costcutting measures to eliminate overtime pay and hold mail until the next day if distribution centers are running late.

Ohio Valley Publishing �NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS 8 Saturday, August 15, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Hocking College provides update on return to class NELSONVILLE — While classes at Hocking College will be offered a little different from usual this autumn due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ofﬁcials are adamant that the content of those classes will remain the same. “The academic rigor and content of our courses will not change,” Dr. Myriah Davis, Hocking College’s vice president for academic affairs and workforce development, said. When the semester ofﬁcially begins on Aug. 17, not all students will be moved into their dorm rooms. With staggered move-in dates to decrease the number of people moving into the dormitories at one time beginning Aug. 10, not all students will be on campus until Aug. 22. However, just because a student isn’t on campus doesn’t mean they’re excused from class. The ﬁrst week of classes will be delivered remotely for all students, and they’ll be responsible for logging in during the regular class time. Students who’ve already moved into dorm rooms on campus will attend class virtually as well. The ﬁrst in-person classes meet on Aug. 24. Even then, not all students will be in the classroom. Some classes will be entirely in-person, some entirely virtually, and some will be a hybridized version of the two, with some students physically in the classroom and others participating simultaneously online. All students and employees will be required to wear face masks and stay six feet away from others, but that won’t be possible in every class. “We have more than 50 different programs and more than 50 different ways of doing things,” Davis said, pointing out that the guidelines in ﬁeld biology — a class mainly held outdoors — will be different than for massage therapy or physical therapy labs — classes where students have to touch other people to learn the skills the program aims to teach. Speciﬁc safety guidelines will be outlined in each course’s syllabus. Students enrolled in classes where social distancing isn’t possible have been notiﬁed by email and mail.

To meet the new safety standards, dining services will be take away only, and areas around campus where groups of students can congregate are closed or have limited access. For students living in residence halls, dorm rooms have been reconﬁgured to allow a greater distance between roommates. The college will provide residents with cleaning and disinfecting supplies, and rooms will be regularly inspected to make sure safety protocols are being followed. No visitors will be allowed in residence halls and students are only allowed to be in their assigned dorm room. Regardless of whether students live on campus or off, they’ll go through a COVID-19 screening process every day before going to class. The screening includes a to Dec. 4. The Thanksgiving Break, Nov. 26 and 27, remains in place, and students won’t return to campus after that break.

Revised TVC football schedules By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com The Tri-Valley Conference ofﬁcially released the new football schedules for all members of the Ohio and Hocking Divisions on Tuesday following the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s decision to reduce the regular season from a normal 10-game slate down to six contests. All TVC Ohio schedules consist of ﬁve league games and one open date, with the exception of Vinton County — which will actually play a full league tilt in the 7-team division. River Valley has not been able to ﬁnd a Week 6 non-conference opponent as of Friday, but the Raiders play ﬁve straight TVC Ohio games to start the season — including three of those at home. RVHS will not face Athens in TVC Ohio play, but that game could possibly be made up after the playoff rounds. River Valley also plans to try and get the game with South Gallia in at some point after the playoff rounds. Meigs will play two of its ﬁve league contests at home and has also picked up a home game with Warren in Week 4, ﬁlling the non-conference slot. The Marauders do not face Wellston in TVC Ohio play before the playoff week. On the TVC Hocking Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Meigs sophomore Coulter Cleland fires a pass during the Marauders’ season-opening game against Gallia Academy on Aug. 29, 2019, in Rocksprings, Ohio. Division side, Eastern, Southern and South Gallia all managed to ﬁnd Week 1 games against non-conference opponents before completing their respective league campaigns. The Eagles open their season at Caldwell, then come home to face Trimble in the league opener. Eastern will also play three of its ﬁve TVC Hocking games at East Shade River Stadium. The Rebels also play three of their ﬁve league matchups at home, including the home opener against Waterford in Week 2. South Gallia opens the year at Symmes Valley. The Tornadoes will play only two games at Roger Lee Adams Memorial Field this fall, with both coming in back-to-back Week 4 and 5 games with Trimble and South Gallia. Southern opens the season at Frontier. Below is a list of all 13 teams within the TVC and their revised football schedules.

COLOR YOUR FAVORITE NEED A LIFT TRANSPORTATION is helping us Ice m a e r C Beat the Heat! To help beat the summer heat, NEED A LIFT TRANSPORTATION of Bidwell, Ohio invites you to have some fun coloring the cone and learn a little about this tasty treat while enjoying a scoop of your favorite ﬂavor! T h e H i sto r y o f I c e C re a m OH-70199675 The origin of ice cream dates back a long time ago, when Nero of Rome was said to have enjoyed harvesting ice or snow, then adding honey or other ﬂavorings. Alexander the Great supposedly enjoyed icy drinks that had ﬂavorings such as honey or nectar. The ﬁrst records of milk-based ice cream, made using heated fermented milk, ﬂour, and camphor, come from China’s Tang dynasty (618 – 907 AD). However, it is the Arabs who are credited with coming up with the modern-day recipe, which lists milk and sugar as the primary ingredients, in the 9th century. By the 10th century, the delicious treat, made using milk, cream, ﬂavored rosewater, dried fruits, and nuts, were purportedly a ﬁxture in Baghdad, Damascus, and Cairo. Ice cream has been a popular treat in Italy since the 16th century. While the Europeans discovered the creamy treat in the 16th century, the ﬁrst mention of the dessert in the US was not till 1744, when Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen served strawberry ice cream to guests. Early presidents also had a liking towards ice cream. In the summer of 1790, George Washington spent approximately $200 for ice cream (keep in mind that back then $200 was a fairly good sum of money!). Thomas Jefferson actually made his own recipe of ice cream too! Dolly Madison, the wife of President James Madison, served ice cream at the second Inaugural Ball. For a while, ice cream was only an occasional special treat, mainly for the rich. In 1843, Nancy Johnson patented the hand crank ice cream maker. About 8 years later, in 1851, Jacob Fussell built the ﬁrst ice cream factory. The invention of mechanical refrigeration helped kept large amounts of ice cream cool. Improvements and new inventions in technology helped ice cream spread towards the general public. Americans are now the world’s largest consumers of ice cream, eating an average of 48 pints per person and spending a total of $5.47 billion annually, on the dessert. The number is even higher if restaurant sales are included. Though California produces the most ice cream, the biggest fans, on a per capita basis, reside in Washington, DC, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin. Fu n Fa cts � � � Vanilla is the most popular ﬂavor of ice cream. The ice cream soda was invented in 1874. You can make homemade ice cream in a bag! All you need is your ingredients (milk, sugar, and vanilla extract or other ﬂavorings), ice, salt, � � and two plastic bags (one large to hold the ice and salt, and one smaller to put inside the large bag. The smaller bag holds your ingredients/ eventual ice cream). California produces the most ice cream in the U.S.A. It takes roughly 50 licks to ﬁnish an ice cream cone. � � You can deep fry ice cream too! Despite the emergence of numerous ﬂavors, vanilla and chocolate remain universal favorites. Though there are now over 1,000 recorded ice cream ﬂavors worldwide, vanilla, followed by chocolate, tops the chart of favorites almost universally. NON-EMERGENCY OH-70199646 MEDICAL TRANSPORT “We will not keep you waiting!” � � While adding unusual ingredients might seem to be a modern invention, the idea is not new.

Committee President Andy Gilmore noted a speciﬁc concern with attendees traveling in from outside areas. “A lot of the people who attend the Emancipation Celebration are born and raised around here, but move to other cities,” Gilmore said. “We decided it would be safer to go virtually. “We’re proud of the fact that we’ve been celebrating this emancipation continuously since 1863. That’s the reason we didn’t cancel like a lot of the other organizations around, because we want it to go on record that the 157th annual Emancipation Celebration was conducted.” The virtual live stream can be found on the Emancipation Facebook page titled “Emancipation Proclamation Celebration” beginning at 10 a.m. on Sept. 20. In the past, the event has featured historical reenactors, as well as activities set up for kids, but Gilmore noted that these things weren’t possible because of the pandemic. Over the summer, the Gallia County Emancipation Celebration gained national recognition with a piece that appeared in The Washington Post debunking a myth that Juneteenth was the oldest celebration of emancipation and the end of slavery, stating that notoriety belonged to the event held in Gallipolis. With national recognition, and a virtual platform, Gilmore hopes the celebration will draw some outside interest this year. Along with Gilmore, those scheduled to speak are Rev. Gene Armstrong, Minister Marlin Grifﬁn, and President of the University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College Ryan Smith. Giving the prerecorded keynote speech is David N. Harris, president of the Carter Woodson Foundation in Huntington. According to the Emancipation Weekend Committee’s website, the Emancipation Proclamation has been celebrated and observed in Gallia County continuously since 1863.
