PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
A post on the Mason County Fair Facebook page on
Saturday night stated, “It has been brought to our
attention by the Mason County Health Department,
that someone who attended the Mason County
Livestock Show on August 13th and 14th has tested
positive for COVID-19. We wanted to make the public
aware that if you were at the event either of these
days and feel you are symptomatic, please contact
your local health department.”

GOP lawmaker says
DeWine should
be impeached
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican Ohio
Gov. Mike DeWine should be impeached over his
handling of the state’s response to the coronavirus
pandemic, a conservative GOP House lawmaker
said Monday.
Cincinnati Rep. John Becker said he has drafted
10 articles of impeachment against the ﬁrst-term
governor in an effort currently backed by two
other conservative House lawmakers.
Becker accused DeWine of improperly shutting
down the March presidential primary, arbitrarily
ordering some businesses closed while allowing
others to remain open, and instituting an unpopular statewide mask mandate.
It was unclear, however, what law that Becker
believes DeWine broke that calls for impeachment.
A message was left with his ofﬁce.
“With deaths and hospitalizations from COVID19 ﬂattened, the Governor continues to press his
boot on the throat of Ohio’s economy,” Becker
said.
Daily new cases of the coronavirus have fallen
below a seven-day average of 1,000, down from
much higher tallies earlier in the summer.
An impeachment website lists Rep. Nino Vitale,
a Republican from Urbana and a frequent critic
of DeWine and the mask mandate, and Rep. Paul
Zeltwanger, a Republican from Mason in southwestern Ohio, as the only other backers of the
movement.
While DeWine’s approach has plenty of critics,
he also has broad support from major business
groups and the Ohio medical establishment, and

June 6, 1933Aug. 18, 2020
Giovanni (John)
Armando Brunicardi, 87, of Loveland,
Ohio, passed away
Aug. 18, 2020.
He was born
June 6, 1933 in Lucca,
Italy. He was the son
of the late Antonio and
Laura Brunicardi. He
spent his ﬁrst 13 years of
life in Italy, and after suffering through the devastation of World War II, his
family immigrated to the
United States and settled
in Gallipolis, Ohio.
He graduated from Gallia Academy High School
in 1954 and chose to
serve his country, which
he loved so dearly, in the
United States Air Force.
He showed his immense
musical talent early in life
and was a member of the
Air Force band. After an
honorable discharge from
the military, he had his
own dance band in New
York City. He completed
his degree in music at
Ohio University and
began decades of giving
back to his community
with his ﬁrst position as
a band director in Gallia
County.
He found the love of
his life in the former
Katie McDaniel, his “Blue
Eyes,” and they were married in December of 1964.
With his devoted wife
by his side, they opened
Brunicardi Music in
1967, and it remained in
operation until 1999. Brunicardi Music became a
beacon in the community
for music, education, and
support of the arts. The
store was a labor of love
for John, and through
it he shared his passion
for music and educating
children.
John was a musical
master who never met a
child he could not teach
to play an instrument. He
showed ardent support
for the band and choir
programs of the area and
spent many late nights
repairing instruments to
keep area band programs

going. He touched
so many lives,
instilling a love
for music in those
who knew him,
and that love continues to this day.
Above all else,
the family he built with
his Blue Eyes was the
most important aspect
of his life. He adored his
three daughters and was
the most loving and supportive Papa. He became
a surrogate father to so
many of their friends.
Theirs was a house full of
music, food, and love.
He and his Blue Eyes
retired to Loveland when
he became a Nonno, and
these were some of the
best years of his life. His
grandchildren were a
complete joy to him, and
he would rock and sing
and play with them for
hours. Their eyes never
failed to light up at the
sound of his voice. He
was a gift — a beautiful,
loving gift from God to
his wife, his daughters,
his grandchildren, and
all who were blessed to
know him.
He is survived by his
wife, Katie Brunicardi of
Loveland, Ohio; daughters Laura ( Jeff) Northup of Loveland, Ohio,
Armanda ( Brad) Hively
of Higginsport, Ohio,
and Anita ( Jim) Dove of
Canal Winchester, Ohio.
He was a proud Nonno to
Madeline Kaye and Evan
William Northup, James
Jonathon Dove, and
Sophia Catherine Hively.
Due to the pandemic,
a private family service
will be held. To honor
this remarkable man,
the family requests that
all who were touched
by him surround themselves with their loved
ones and beautiful
music. A celebration of
life will be planned at
a later date when those
who loved him can
laugh, hug, and reminisce together about
a life well lived and a
beautiful man who was
well loved.

“That is what he is

Jach, spokeswoman for
House Speaker Bob

Democrats slammed
the proposal, as did Jane
Timken, the head of the
Ohio Republican Party.
Timken praised DeWine’s efforts during the
pandemic and said in an
election year that Republicans should be united
in re-electing President
Donald Trump.
She called it “despicable” for anyone considering themselves to
be conservative to try to
impeach DeWine.

Today is Tuesday, Aug. 25, the 238th day of
2020. There are 128 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History
On August 25, 1944, during World War II, Paris
was liberated by Allied forces after four years of
Nazi occupation.
On this date
In 1718, hundreds of French colonists arrived in
Louisiana, with some settling in present-day New
Orleans.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed an
act establishing the National Park Service within
the Department of the Interior.
In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower
signed a measure providing pensions for former
U.S. presidents and their widows.
In 1967, George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of
the American Nazi Party, was shot to death in the
parking lot of a shopping center in Arlington, Virginia; former party member John Patler was later
convicted of the killing.
In 1980, the Broadway musical “42nd Street”
opened. (Producer David Merrick stunned the
cast and audience during the curtain call by
announcing that the show’s director, Gower Champion, had died earlier that day.)
In 1981, the U.S. spacecraft Voyager 2 came
within 63,000 miles of Saturn’s cloud cover, sending back pictures of and data about the ringed
planet.
In 2001, rhythm-and-blues singer Aaliyah (ahLEE’-yah) was killed with eight others in a plane
crash in the Bahamas; she was 22.
In 2012, Neil Armstrong, 82, who commanded
the historic Apollo 11 lunar landing and was the
ﬁrst man to set foot on the moon in July 1969,
died in Cincinnati, Ohio.
In 2009, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the liberal
lion of the U.S. Senate, died at age 77 in Hyannis
Port, Massachusetts, after a battle with a brain
tumor.
In 2014, a funeral was held in St. Louis for
Michael Brown, the Black 18-year-old who was
shot to death by a police ofﬁcer in suburban Ferguson.
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey, the ﬁercest hurricane to hit the U.S. in more than a decade, made
landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas, with 130 mph
sustained winds; the storm would deliver ﬁve days
of rain totaling close to 52 inches, the heaviest
tropical downpour ever recorded in the continental U.S. The hurricane left at least 68 people dead
and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage in
Texas.
In 2018, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, who
had spent years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam
before a 35-year political career that took him to
the Republican presidential nomination, died at
the age of 81 after battling brain cancer for more
than a year.
Ten years ago: North Korea welcomed Jimmy
Carter back to Pyongyang as the former U.S. president arrived to bring home Aijalon Mahli Gomes
(EYE’-jah-lahn MAH’-lee gohms), an American
jailed in the communist country since January
2010 for entering the country illegally from China.
Five years ago: French authorities formally
opened a terrorism investigation into a foiled
attack four days earlier; a prosecutor said minutes
before he slung an assault riﬂe across his chest
and walked through a high-speed train, suspect
Ayoub El-Khazzani of Morocco had watched a
jihadi video on his cellphone.

Reﬁnery giant Marathon Petroleum, already
struggling ﬁnancially
before the pandemic, was
one of the most aggressive in seeking to dial
back its environmental
monitoring. On the same
day EPA announced its
new policy, the Ohiobased company asked
Indiana ofﬁcials for relief
from its leak detection,
groundwater sampling,
spill prevention, emissions testing and hazardous waste responsibilities
at its facilities statewide.
“We believe that by
taking these measures,
we can do our part to
slow the spread of the
COVID-19 virus,” Tim
Peterkoski, environmental auditing and
processes manager for
Marathon Petroleum,
told the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management.

Sato content after winning 2nd Indy 500 under caution
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —
Takuma Sato won’t waste any
time wondering what might
have happened if his teammate
had not crashed in the closing
laps of the Indianapolis 500.
Scott Dixon might have run
him down.
Sato could have run out of
gas.
IndyCar maybe would have
have thrown the red ﬂag, setting up a ﬁnal shootout to the
ﬁnish.
It’s just a silly game of hypotheticals after Sunday’s race
ended under caution with Sato
coasting to his second Indy
500 win in four years. Spencer
Pigot crashed with ﬁve laps
remaining to bring out the
yellow ﬂag, pausing Dixon’s
charge on Sato for an anticlimactic ending to “The Greatest
Spectacle in Racing.”

“The Indy 500, you never
really know until the last
corner,” said Sato, the only
Japanese driver to win the Indy
500 and now the 20th two-time
winner.
Dixon seemed in total control of the race as he chased his
own second Indy 500 win. The
ﬁve-time series champion easily slid past pole-sitter Marco
Andretti in the ﬁrst turn of
the ﬁrst lap and led 111 of 200
laps.
Dixon was so smooth he, at
times, voluntarily relinquished
the lead just to save fuel. So
when Sato moved to the front
late in the race, it appeared
Dixon was just biding his time.
Only he didn’t get close enough
as the laps ticked off — 20 to
go, 15 to go, 10 to go — and
then Pigot’s crash ended the
pursuit.

“I probably should have been
more aggressive there. Should
have maybe gone harder and
maybe he would have run out
of fuel,” Dixon said. “This is
deﬁnitely hard to swallow for
the team. But it was a hell of
a race, and he’s victorious.
He’s drinking the milk, and
that’s all that counts.”
Sato indeed chugged from
a bottle of two-percent milk,
kissed the bricks, and rode
the new lift at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway to the winner’s circle. It was there that
he celebrated with two of his
team owners — 1986 Indy
500 champion Bobby Rahal,
who was walking with a cane
because of an aching back,
and comedian David Letterman, who loomed large over
Sato with an unruly gray
beard and mask covering half

his face.
Rahal had no interest in
debating IndyCar’s decision
to ﬁnish the race under yellow
and defended Sato’s earned
spot in Indy 500 history.
“Hey, two-time winner
at the Indy 500, there’s not
many of those guys out
there,” Rahal said. “I think
the guy deserves to be highly
respected for his abilities,
particularly on the ovals. I
think a place like Indianapolis
kind of suits his skills because
he’s very smooth, obviously
he’s quite brave. He really has
a good feel. I think that really
works well at a place like Indy.
“He’s all ﬁght. He’s not a
guy that’s going to give up. I
think we saw that today.”
Sato’s second victory came
in front of empty grandstands
at the largest venue in the

world. New track owner
Roger Penske could not allow
spectators during a pandemic
at an event that typically
draws more than 300,000. On
Sunday, Penske said a mere
2,500 people would be on
property.
The eerily empty venue
made for a watered-down
celebration absent of many of
the Indy traditions.
He didn’t complain, but
noted the energy was off the
entire two weeks at Indy and
the empty gray grandstands
were a sad sight every lap.
“If you go through Gasoline
Alley each morning, there’s
no energy. It was a little sad,”
Sato said. “When you’re driving, obviously we’re concentrating on what’s happening
on the track. But we see the
grandstands all the time.

Lab blames 77
false NFL positives
on contamination
By Barry Wilner
Associated Press

The lab used by the NFL for COVID-19 tests
said Monday that an isolated contamination
caused 77 “most likely false positive results.”
In a statement, BioReference Laboratories said
the test results on Saturday were contaminated
during preparation at its lab in New Jersey. Eleven
clubs were affected, and the tests were reexamined
and found to be false positives.
“The NFL immediately took necessary actions
to ensure the safety of the players and personnel,”
said Dr. Jon R. Cohen, executive chairman of BioReference, which does all COVID-19 testing for
the 32 NFL teams in ﬁve labs across the country.
“Re-agents, analyzers and staff were all ruled out
as possible causes and subsequent testing has
indicated that the issue has been resolved. All individuals impacted have been conﬁrmed negative
and informed.”
Among teams reporting false positives, the Minnesota Vikings said they had 12, the New York Jets
10 and the Chicago Bears nine. The entire episode
puts the NFL and its testing procedures through
BioReference in a precarious position with the
opening game kicking off on Sept. 10.
There are ﬁve labs nationwide that service the
32 teams, with only the New Jersey facility having
the false positives this weekend. Anyone testing
positive for COVID-19 — even a false positive
upon a retest — is required to have two more
negative tests before being cleared to return.

Blue Devils finish
13th at Warrior
Invitational
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

PATASKALA, Ohio — Some stiff competition.
The Gallia Academy boys golf team placed 13th
out of 18 programs on Saturday at the 2020 Warrior Invitational hosted by Watkins Memorial High
School at Cumberland Trail Golf Club in Licking
County.
The Blue Devils had all ﬁve golfers post sub-90
efforts over the course of 18 holes, with only nine
shots separating the ﬁrst and ﬁfth scorers.
GAHS, however, was left facing some tough
squads, including a trio of a state qualiﬁers from a
year ago.
One of those teams, Dublin Jerome, currently
serves as the defending Division I state champion
and ultimately ended up taking top honors on Saturday by a single stroke.
Dublin Jerome posted a winning tally of 302,
with Pickerington Central coming in right behind
with a 303. Grove City (307), Newark Catholic
(314) and Pickerington North (317) rounded out
the top ﬁve positions.
Carson Bellish of Pickerington North shot a
1-under par round of 71 to earn medalist honors.
Laith Hamid paced the Blue Devils with an even
80, followed by Cooper Davis with an 83 and Will
Hendrickson with an 85.
Hunter Cook completed the team tally with an
83, while Beau Johnson also ﬁred an 89 for Gallia
Academy.

Kevin Harvick (4) leads during a NASCAR Cup Series auto race at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del., on Sunday.

Harvick dominates at Dover
DOVER, Del. (AP) —
Kevin Harvick views his
NASCAR championship
chase as him against
the ﬁeld. His budding
rivalry with Denny Hamlin, however, has turned
into a can-you-top-this
showdown that promises
to last until the ﬁnale.
“You don’t want to be
so narrow-minded to
think it’s going to be you
against one other team,”
Harvick said.
A day after Hamlin’s victory, Harvick
regained the Cup Series
lead with his seventh,
dominating Sunday at
Dover International
Speedway.
Harvick and Hamlin
have emerged as the clear
contenders to win it all
— and again they proved
their mettle in doubleheaders. At Pocono in
late June, Harvick won
the Saturday race and
Hamlin followed with the
checkered ﬂag 24 hours
later.
Harvick won the ﬁnale
of the ﬁnal scheduled
twinbill of the season
required by the pandemic
hiatus. Harvick and
Hamlin long ago clinched
their spots in NASCAR’s
postseason, and can rest
easy — though they
won’t — headed into the
regular-season ﬁnale Saturday night at Daytona
International Speedway.
Under the lights, the ﬁnal
three playoff spots are up
for grabs, with seven-time
champion Jimmie John-

son about needed a win
to make a run at a record
eighth title in his farewell
season.
Harvick secured his
title as best in the regular
season, and has 57 playoff
points that he can build
up all the way to the
Phoenix ﬁnale.
He plans to be racing
for the title — and Hamlin could stand in his way.
“I don’t think I want
to narrow it down to one
guy, obviously,” Harvick
said. “It really has been
fun to kind of go back and
forth with Denny and his
team.”
The 44-year-old Harvick continues to rack up
milestones at StewartHaas Racing. He has 56
career Cup victories to
tie Kyle Busch for ninth
on the career list. Harvick swept the stages
in the No. 4 Ford and
won for the third time
in seven races. He gave
Ford its 700th Cup victory.
All seven of Harvick’s
wins have come in the
14 starts since NASCAR
resumed on May 17.
“With Denny winning
yesterday we needed to
win today and we need
all the points we can
get,” Harvick said. “I
think as you look at these
playoffs, you never know
what to expect but I
know that as we go week
to week we will give it all
we have.”
With just Daytona left
next week before the

16-driver ﬁeld is set,
Aric Almirola, Busch
and brother Kurt Busch
all wrapped up spots on
points.
Martin Truex Jr. ﬁnished second in both
Dover races. He had
ﬁnished third in ﬁve
straight races headed
into the weekend.
“We can deﬁnitely
make the ﬁnal four with
the way we’ve been running,” Truex said.
Jimmie Johnson,
Dover’s career winner with 11, was third.
Johnson’s No. 48 team
gambled on a late twotire pit stop that gave the
seven-time champion a
late surge.
Johnson is on the
bubble, four points outside of the cutoff in his
ﬁnal full season. The
Hendrick Motorsports
stalwart might have had
a spot clinched had his
No. 48 not failed inspection in May at Charlotte,
negating his runner-up
ﬁnish. That cost him 45
points. He also sat out
the Brickyard 400 when
he failed a COVID-19
test.
“I’ve been doing this
too long to worry too
much,” Johnson said.
“Maybe that’s where
experience will pay,
though, this weekend.
I’ll keep my emotions
in check and be able to
race with a clear and
open mind. “
Johnson is the biggest outlier to have a

chance at crashing the
ﬁeld — unless there’s
a surprise winner. He’d
also to knock off Hendrick teammate William
Byron and former crew
chief Chad Knaus, atop
the box for all seven of
Johnson’s titles.
There are 13 drivers
with a spot in the playoffs. Clint Bowyer, Matt
DiBendetto and Byron
hold the ﬁnal three spots
on points.
DiBendetto ﬁnished
20th and 17th in the two
Dover races to derail his
playoff momenteum.
“I we miss them I
will be a pretty grumpy
individual the rest of
the year,” DiBendetto
said. “t is what it is. We
have worked hard to be
in that position. I hope
we make it. I don’t want
to be negative at all but
it is hard after coming
out of this weekend and
getting a huge deﬁcit
in points and a ton of
points chopped from us
because we ran so bad in
both races.”
The only hiccup at
Dover was a brief red
ﬂag needed when a hole
in the concrete had to be
patched. Harvick took it
from there and continued to showcase what
should be a fantastic
battle with Hamlin for
the championship.
“It’s been a lot of fun
at Stewart-Haas Racing,”
Harvick said.
He can only hope the
best is yet ahead.

Jessica explained that
Anna had bid on “Ricky”,

able to show the steer at
many shows, bringing
