Farmers Bank President Paul Reed and Chief Financial Ofﬁcer Shawn Arnott explained that the bank is offering payment deferment on loans for up to three months for those who are impacted by the coronavirus. During that time there will be no late fees or penalties. Mortgage customers should still make their escrow payment which covers their insurance and property taxes. The deferment is not automatic, and those who need to use the deferment should contact their loan ofﬁcer by phone. Farmers Bank continues to operate at the drive through only at this time with the lobby closed. Banking online, mobile app or by phone is also available. Farmers Bank’s Pomeroy location can be reached at 740-992-2136. Home National Bank President John Hoback stated that the bank will be deferring payments on a month-by-month basis for customers who are impacted by COVID-19. Customers who need to utilize the deferment program should contact their loan ofﬁcer by phone. Hoback said that the bank will “work with their customers and local businesses to get them through this time.” Hoback said the bank locations have been operating by drive through only, which has been going well. Home National Bank’s Racine location can be reached at 740-949-2210. Ohio Valley Bank previously announced similar actions. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

The hospital staff will then contact the patient to set up an appointment for the test sample to be collected. When test results return, they are sent to the primary care provider and/or the hospital, who will relay the results to the patient. If the test results come back positive, it is also sent to the local health department, who then considers the individual to be a Person Under Investigation (PUI). At that point, the health department would begin an investigation, which would identify individuals with whom the patient had had contact and places the individual has visited. The health department will also take the appropriate steps to quarantine the individual(s) for the appropriate amount of time. This makes it very difﬁcult for the local health department to track the number of individuals being tested, as there are multiple hospitals with collection sites, which county residents utilize. We would like to reiterate Meigs County still has no conﬁrmed cases of COVID-19 as of 4 p.m. on March 27, 2020.

The department also makes certain to speak with the positively-tested individual’s family members or anyone who may have come in contact with them. If the department ﬁnds symptomatic individuals, they are placed under isolation protocols and those who are showing no symptoms are placed in quarantine for two weeks. The health department continues to seek those who came into contact with symptomatic individuals, starting with the original positive case patient until they ﬁnd contacts without symptoms. Those individuals are then asked to monitor themselves for any developing symptoms. Organizations and businesses a positivelytested patient may have visited are alerted to the possibility of contact. The health department then follows the line of any individuals displaying symptoms. Should the health department believe that an individual who was infected attended a larger, public location, the department would contact the location and make a public announcement asking for individuals who had traveled to the location at a speciﬁc time in question to contact the department. The Meigs County Health Department reported there are no conﬁrmed cases in Meigs County as of press time. Beth Sergent contributed to this article. Funeral services held for former Cincinnati archbishop CINCINNATI (AP) — Funeral services were held Friday for a former Cincinnati archbishop who led Catholics there for more than a quarter century. Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk had been in declining health for years before he died Sunday at the age of 85. His funeral Mass was held at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in Cincinnati, which was nearly empty due to restrictions on public gatherings that remain in place due to the coronavirus. The service was livestreamed on the archdiocese’s website and its Facebook page. Just 10 people were permitted in the church including current Archbishop Dennis Schnurr, who ofﬁciated at the event. Church ofﬁcials have said a memorial Mass open to the public will be held at a later date. Pilarczyk led the archdiocese for 27 years and was the nation’s longest-serving bishop when he retired in 2009. His ﬁnal years leading the region’s Catholic congregation included a public struggle with widespread allegations of clergy abuse. before the tournament begins.

Before the outbreak, lawmakers had been considering changing the number of qualifying districts. ﬁrmed, about 280 people have been hospitalized, according to the state. But the overall number falls well short of all of the cases in Ohio because the state is limiting testing to those who are hospitalized and to health care workers. The ages of those who have died range from age 58 to 93, said Amy Acton, the state’s health director. Four of those who have died were residents of two nursing homes where there was an outbreak in Miami County, the local health department said Friday.

Here we are a week later and if you’re like me, it’s hard to navigate all the updates and directives which have happened since we last “spoke.” As Ohioans and West Virginians were ordered to “stay home” (for the most part), I’ve noticed friends on social media becoming creative with their conﬁnement. As you might’ve read this week in our newspapers, there are several “bear hunts” going on in local neighborhoods. This involves residents hiding bears in their windows for children to spot them as an activity and a distraction from all things virus related. Truth be told, it’s a distraction for adults too. We need distractions now that coronavirus is appearing in our area, with conﬁrmed cases in Gallia and Mason counties. Am I surprised by this? Does a bear, uh, sleep, in the woods? In short, no, not surprised. Ever notice when you start looking for something, there it is? (Except car keys, these may be the exception.) When tests became available locally, it was only a matter of time. Though our area is insulated from many “bad things” in the world, it’s foolish to think we are insulated from them all. For me, that hit home familiar family friend in Henderson. The friend wanted me to know she read my column last week and like my Nannie, she too saves everything with the intention of sharing it. “My delight is when someone asks ‘have you got this or that…’” she wrote, talking about exchanging food and other items with neighbors in the past. She reminded me of a mindset ingrained in another generation that is currently reminding us all to plan for a rainy day. She closed out her letter with “We are from the hard times and old as dust!” She also reminded me people still need people even if the way we connect right now is unfamiliar to us, at least for the time being. To the friend, thanks for the note because it was the best thing I read all week. Once again, thank you all for subscribing and supporting our newspapers in whatever way you can or do.

Also earning spots on the Class AA all-state ﬁrst team were PikeView’s Laken McKinney, Lincoln’s Victoria Sturm, Wyoming East’s Skylar Davidson, and Herbert Hoover’s Allison Dunbar. McKinney averaged a double-double of 17.2 points and 11.6 rebounds a game for the Panthers, including a 25-point, 18-rebound effort in the team’s state tournament quarterﬁnal win over Fairmont Senior. Sturm (15.9 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 3.1 apg, 2.1 spg) led what was a balanced attack all season for Lincoln to get the Cougars back to Charleston as the No. 4 seed. Davidson did it all as the ﬂoor general for Wyoming East as she dished 8.5 assists per game to go with 14.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.8 steals a game. And Dunbar, who became the all-time leading scorer at Herbert Hoover, ﬁnished her career with the Huskies in ﬁne fashion as she averaged 22.5 points a game. On the all-state second team, Braxton County senior forward Jocelyn Abraham was named captain after averaging a double-double of 22.4 points and 10.0 rebounds. Joining Abraham on the second team as fellow senior leaders are Frankfort’s Makenna Douthitt, Lincoln’s Allison Rockwell, Blueﬁeld’s Jaisah Smith, Mingo Central’s Ziah Rhodes, and Winﬁeld’s Lauren Hudson.

MLB will be considered. “Is this a year where trying different things could be of beneﬁt, and that is one of the things that in a one-year trial could be a beneﬁt,” Clark said. When the season can start is beyond the control of MLB and the union. If games are missed, players will receive prorated shares of their salaries. “Each of the parties shall work in good faith to as soon as is practicable commence, play, and complete the fullest 2020 championship season and post-season that is economically feasible,” the agreement says. There must be no legal restrictions on mass gathering and travel, and a determination play “does not pose an unreasonable health and safety risk to players, staff or spectators.” MLB agreed with the union to use “best efforts to play as many games as possible, while taking into account player safety and health, rescheduling needs, competitive considerations, stadium availability, and the economic feasibility of various alternatives.” Players would consider waiving the rule against playing no more than 20 days in a row. It remains unclear what the minimum number of games needed for a season would be. “We haven’t discussed an exact number,” Clark said. Players ratiﬁed the deal Thursday night. They would keep their salary advances if no games are played in 2020 and waived their claim to additional salaries if the season is scrapped. MLB threatened to stop the amateur draft and international amateur signings, which account for about $400 million in annual bonuses. Teams gained the right to cut the draft from its usual 40 rounds to as few as ﬁve this year and as few as 20 in 2021. Signing bonuses for players in the draft and for international amateurs will be frozen at 2019 levels through 2021. “It is not ideal,” Clark said. “The players were committed to preserving entry in some form, which was quite different than what was being represented from the other side.” From page 1B $170 million in advances from salaries that total more than $4 billion and guarantees service time to players even if no games are played this year. That means Mookie Betts, George Springer, Marcus Stroman, Trevor Bauer and J.T. Realmuto remain on track for free agency next offseason. This season was to start Thursday and Game 7 of the World Series was on track to be Oct. 28. With opening day postponed until midMay at the earliest, the ﬁnal pitch could come as Frosty the Snowman starts popping up. The sides discussed a regular season extending into October and a postseason in November. “We would play as long as we possibly could. Obviously, the weather becomes a challenge the later you get in the calendar year,” Clark said. “But we would do our best to play as many games as possible regardless of when we start.” A bigger playoff ﬁeld (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN JOB APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED The City of Gallipolis is accepting applications for workers at the Gallipolis City Pool.
