While many outside activities are prohibited under the stay-at-home order, local residents are still able to get out an enjoy nature through hiking, going for a walk, fishing or even going on a “bear hunt”, as long as they maintain social distancing guidelines. Stay-at-home order extended until May 1 Staff Report COLUMBUS — Ohio residents will remain under a “Stay-at-home” order until May 1 under the new order signed by Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton on Thursday afternoon. The order also provides additional guidelines. The new order, which takes effect on Monday, addresses overcrowding in stores by requiring businesses to establish a maximum capacity for the number of people allowed in at a time. This number is to be set by each store, posted and enforced. The order also establishes that people traveling back to Ohio must self-quarantine for 14 days upon their return. Governor Mike DeWine clariﬁed that this is not for people who may live in Ohio and work across state lines, but those who have been traveling. The order establishes a “dispute resolution panel” to address conﬂicts regarding a type business that may be allowed to operate in one health district, but not permitted to do so in another. This panel will allow for uniform application of the order across health districts. Other points of the order highlighted by DeWine included: no regulation over weddings and funerals, but receptions and related events must follow the no more than 10 people rule; campgrounds are closed, as are public pools, but state parks remain open under the discretion of the Director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources; organized sports are prohibited; garden centers may remain open; ﬁshing is permitted as long as social distancing is observed. DeWine also announced the creation of economic advisory board. The launch of a website dedicated to those hiring during the pandemic went live on Thursday at coronavirus.ohio. gov/jobsearch. As of Thursday afternoon’s reporting, there were 2,902 conﬁrmed cases of COVID-19 in 75 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Of those, 802 have been hospitalized, 260 in the intensive care unit. Dr. Acton stated that they will be working on getting data on the number of people who have been released from the hospital, although a true number of those who have A NEWS Obituary: 2A Church Directory: 3A News: 4A B SPORTS Classifieds: 2B Comics: 3B Weather: 4B Our online edition is open to the public at mydailysentinel.com By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com notiﬁed of every test completed.

POMEROY — Following a more than hourlong executive session regarding employee discipline, the Meigs County Commissioners, in a split decision, terminated the employment of their clerk. Commissioners Tim Ihle and Jimmy Will voted in favor of the action to terminate the employment of Betsy Entsminger. Commissioner Randy Smith voted against the action. Prosecutor James K. Stanley was included in the closed door session. None of the commissioners would comment further regarding the action.

Under Ohio Sunshine Laws, public bodies, such as the commissioners, may enter into executive session for speciﬁc reasons as speciﬁed in the Ohio Revised Code, including select personnel matters such as discipline.

It was a loose outer garment similar to what we call a cape. It provided them protection against the harsh winds and blowing sand in the desert. It also provided protection from the hot desert sun. There were also lots of palm trees growing in the area because of the dessert. In our Bible lesson today from Matthew 21: 1-11, we will see a very unusual way the people used their cloaks and the branches from the palm trees to honor Jesus. Jesus and His Disciples were walking toward Jerusalem and had stopped near a small village called Bethphage. Jesus sent two of His Disciples to go on ahead into the village. He told them that when they got there, they would ﬁnd a donkey and her colt which they were to bring back to Him. Of course, the Disciples were a bit concerned because they imagined branches from the that these animals palm trees and might belong to spread them on someone who the road or waved might not apprethem for Jesus. ciate having their Why would they animals taken. do that?

They grabbed them, and in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest as they were leaving, someone asked why they heaven!” The people greeted were taking the animals. They answered, “It is for Jesus as a King that day. Today, Jesus wants to the Lord.” The people be your King — and He let them take them will be if you will allow just as Jesus had said Him to come into your they would.

You could even make a crown to remind You that Jesus was and will always be our King. Let’s welcome Him into our hearts with praise and honor just like so many years ago. Let’s pray together. Dear Jesus, on this Palm Sunday, we honor You just as they did on that day so many years ago. You are the King of our hearts and lives. Thank you for being here with us. We would ask that You protect us from getting sick and help those who are already sick. Be with all the helpers no matter where they are or what they do at this time. We praise You Lord! Amen. Ann Moody is pastor of Wilkesville First Presbyterian Church and the Middleport First Presbyterian Church. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. Do it all in Jesus’ name There are reports of many kind and thoughtful services being offered from many sources to people during these days of disease, suffering, and shut down. Years ago when I ministered at the Willow Island Baptist Church in Pleasants County near the town of St. Marys, WV, I once was out visiting door-to-door in the local community of Belmont. At each house, I stayed long enough to extend an urgent invitation to come to church, and to be ready to share the Gospel message when there was opportunity. It was tremendously hot and humid that day, and I actually dropped sweat on the streets as I walked to the houses. In Belmont, there was a man named Gary Clark (if you remember, we had a great Gary Clark here in Mason County My heart lit up before he went with Scripture, for home to be with Jesus once talked the Lord a few about rewarding short years ago). those who give The Belmont so much as a cup Gary Clark was of water in His a good man, name to those who too.

When we minister in the name of Jesus, it takes those sacriﬁces and speciﬁcally points to the loving sacriﬁce of Jesus Christ on the Cross that we might receive forgiveness of sin. What we do should be clearly associated with that. Identiﬁcation with Christ is important. Furthermore, doing things in the name of Jesus qualiﬁes the reason Jesus gave Himself for death on the Cross. He did it for others. He did it for us. Jesus said, “I have not come to be ministered to, but to minister, and to be a ransom for many.” People need to be aware of the Lord’s true intent for coming to this world and for giving Himself the way He did.

Things are changing day-by-day and the human inclination is to respond with worry and anxiety. For some, when they feel thus, they respond with denial. Others respond with panic. Maybe you have experienced one or the other or a strange amalgamation of the two, ﬂipping back and forth as new bits of information (and sometimes misinformation) make their way to you.

Essential activities include travel for health and safety, travel for necessary supplies ever, believe it is in the county, but individuals are not seeking testing, but are rather staying home and waiting it out, just as they would for a cold or the ﬂu. This false sense could cause individuals to begin to not adhere to social distancing, and then the virus will spread more quickly in our area “raising the curve” and causing major issues for local hospitals, who could see a large surge in patients. So, in the grand scheme of things, if we could get this data, would it really help anything, or would it cause the number of cases to sky rocket? The ﬁnal issue we would like to address is travelers from other countries. We have heard of individuals returning from other countries that have not been contacted by the health department. When ing, in late 2017, Buckeye Hills, along with other regional councils in Ohio and West Virginia, began coordinating with the Ohio Department of Transportation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create a statistical port district for areas not currently represented by the Pittsburgh or Huntington districts. Counties included in the proposed Port District include Meigs, Athens, Washington, Monroe, Belmont, Jefferson and Columbiana in Ohio and Jackson, Wood, Pleasants, Tyler, Wetzel, Marshall, Ohio, Brooke and Hancock in West Virginia. This covers from mile 40 of the Ohio River in Columbiana County to mile 256.8 of the Ohio River in Meigs County. “The proposed creation of the Mid-Ohio Valley Port District from Ohio River mile 40.0 to river mile 256.8 will provide significant marketing awareness and may result in investment opportunities leading to job creation and economic growth for our area,” stated a portion of the approved resolution.

Franklin Graham and his son of Samaritan’s Purse were on the news this week talking about the hospital they built in New York to supplement the effort to administer heal- ing to the sick there with the virus. Both of them emphasized that the ministry was done in Jesus’ name. I was blessed to hear them say that. As your church kindly and thoughtfully ministers to the needs of people, and as you individually minister and services, travel for recreational activity, travel for certain types of work, and travel for the care of others. Outdoor activity includes such physical activity as walking, hiking, and biking, among other activities. Outdoor activity does not include discretionary socializing in public or at another’s residence. Additionally, leaving one’s home to commit a crime is obviously a violation of the Stay at Home Order. “So far, we have at least three people arrested who are subject to prosecution for violating the Stay at Home Order,” Stanley said. “This is very serious. Lives are at stake. Folks must stay home unless they absolutely must engage in essential travel for a permitted reason. Discretionary socializing, even when maintaining a distance of six feet and groups of fewer than ten individuals, is strictly forbidden.” an individual returns from abroad, the information is given to the Ohio Department of Health by the federal government. Next, the information about the traveler is distributed to the local health department. If this information does not make it to the ODH, we do not receive it. The Meigs County Health Department has been notiﬁed of some travelers who have returned to the county by ODH, and we have also contacted by individuals who want to do what is best when they return. These travelers are then placed in self-quarantine for 14 days so they can monitor for symptoms. If symptoms occur, the health department and the individual’s primary care provider are contacted for further guidance. The Meigs County is working on your behalf, as His child, right now. Think of the comfort of that. Think how precious it is. Pray to the One Who offers it to you freely right now in Jesus Christ. Allow Him to forgive your sin, make you new, and set you free from fear and powerlessness. Let yourself be caught up in a “new normal” of trusting Him each day to love and guide you in all things. “In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:37-39 ESV). Health Department has been as transparent as possible with the residents of Meigs County on the testing process on multiple occasions, including social media posts, updating our COVID-19 website page (www.meigs-health. com), and articles, which have been published by our media partners. We, also, have conducted multiple calls with county government ofﬁcials, local government ofﬁcials, ﬁrst responders, healthcare facilities and partner organizations so that all can be as prepared as possible for cases of COVID-19.

Russo Associated Press nence. “We haven’t really mapped it out that far yet,” Blake said during a conference call from his home in Ohio. “We obviously know that our depth will be tested, as will both teams.” MLB has delayed opening day until midMay at the earliest. Starting pitchers were two-to-three outings within being ready for the season. “We’re doing everything we can to maintain kind of where we were, getting our up-and-downs and our pitch counts and all of that,” Chicago White Sox All-Star righthander Lucas Giolito said. “Despite limited resources, we’re able to pick up a ball and throw it and change intensities and measure it out. I think when it does come time for us to play again, we’ve already been Athletic directors at the nation’s biggest sports schools are bracing for a potential ﬁnancial crisis related to the coronavirus pandemic. According to a survey released Thursday by LEAD1, an association of athletic directors from 130 major college football schools, 63% forecast a worst-case scenario in which their revenues decrease by at least 20% during the 2020-21 school year. Even an abbreviated football season could cause schools to lose that much. LEAD1 and Teamworks, a company that created an app designed to help keep teams and athletic departments connected, conducted the survey of more than 100 ADs from schools in Division I’s Football Bowl Subdivision. “The State of Athletics in the Face of the Coronavirus” provides a sobering glimpse of the top concerns for the wealthiest athletic departments in the country. The NCAA canceled winter and spring sports on March 12, separating thousands of college athletes from teammates and coaches and leaving them unable to practice and compete. Athletic directors surveyed said their greatest concerns about their athletes over the next three months were academic progress, mental health and a lack of resources for them while off campus. And then there are the ﬁnancial concerns. Canceling the men’s Division I basketball tournament cost the NCAA $375 million it was scheduled to distribute to its member schools. Asked for their worstcase scenario analysis, 65% of the athletic directors said revenue for the 2019-20 ﬁscal year would drop from 0-20%, including 35% expecting a decrease ranging from 0-10%. Some schools are already taking steps to deal with this year’s shortfalls. Trying to make up $5 million in lost revenue from basketball tournament cancellations, Iowa State has announced a one-year, temporary pay reduction for coaches and certain staff to save more than $3 million. The school will also suspend bonuses for coaches for a year to save an additional $1 million. “I’ve talked to many of my peers and they want to do what we just did,” Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard said Friday. Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman announced on Twitter he would be reducing his salary by 10% through Dec. 31. In the LEAD1 survey, 40% of the 95 ADs who responded said they approve and strongly See PITCHERS | 2B See NCAA | 2B Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Pictured are members of the 2020 Southern High School varsity baseball team.

Compressed schedule could mean more pitchers NEW YORK (AP) — When and if opening day comes around this year, New York Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake anticipates a brimming bullpen. Major League Baseball and the players’ association have talked about a compressed schedule to get in as many games as possible. That will set off a call to arms. “I think if you have 15 guys it gives you some depth,” Blake said Wednesday. Active rosters were to expand from 25 to 26 from opening day through Aug. 31 in exchange for the limit dropping from 40 to 28 from Sept. 1 on. When a strike delayed the start of the 1995 season until April 25, teams were allowed 28 players through May 15. There is talk of 28- to 30-man rosters following the shutdown caused by the new coronavirus. Teams are preparing for a season that could extend into late November or even December, if domes and ballparks in warm-weather cities are used. “Both the PA and the MLB are very, very adamant about playing as many games as we can this year,” Seattle pitcher Marco Gonzales said. “I think it favors everyone — the fans, the ownership group, the players. I think it’s the right thing to do, and so we’re going to probably have to get creative on how to do that. There’s been talks of doubleheaders, skipping off days here and there. There’s going to be a lot of things that we have to get creative with.” Teams that carried nine or 10 pitchers in the 1960s and 1970s have had 13 in recent years and even 14 for some American League games. A new rule this season limits pitchers to 13 through August and 14 the rest of the way, but that could be tossed in a reconﬁgured season as openers and perhaps six-man rotations gain promi- �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 2B Friday, April 3, 2020 From page 1B approve when asked if they believe high earners should voluntarily offer to make a personal ﬁnancial sacriﬁce during the crisis; about 15% disapproved or strongly disapproved. Football season is six months away and for most FBS schools it is by far the biggest revenue driver. Any disruption to the football season could be devastating to college sports because that revenue funds just about every other athletic program. “We often hear from ADs and MMR (multi-media rights) sellers that around 85% of revenue comes from football,” said Matt Balvanz, senior vice president for analytics for Navigate, a sports marketing consulting ﬁrm. He said the average Power Five school makes around $120 million in revenue per year, “which means roughly $100 million per year from football.” “The thought that no football or losing an entire season is, that’s a complete game changer. There are so many layers.” Pollard said. For the average Power Five team, a home game is worth $14 million, including its value from a television rights deals, which is over 10% of average total revenue, Balvanz said. “Larger departments can likely absorb a 10% loss, but if that increases to 20% and 30% with more games lost then that could be a major issue,” he said. Playing games without fan in the stands? Balvanz said the average Power Five school gets some $30 million in ticket sales. If 85% of that is from football, that’s a loss of $25 million. Athletic directors surveyed by LEAD1 were asked what revenue streams were they most concerned about. Donations and ticket sales received the most votes. Balvanz said a typical Power Five school brings in around $20 million to $30 million per year in donations, which could also take a hit in a struggling economy. Schools in Group of Five conferences, which don’t rake in hundreds of millions yearly from their television deals, would be more vulnerable. Fifty percent of G5 athletic directors in the LEAD1 survey said lost revenue from student fees was among their biggest concerns. Student fees and campus subsidies make up on average 30% to 50% of revenue from Group of Five schools, Balvanz said. Kansas athletic director Jeff Long told reporters last month his staff was already starting to project how to operate with less. “What would a 10%, what would a 20% cut in our operations look like?” Long said. “We’ve just started those as part of strategic planning for the future, haven’t made any decisions. Most of that is determined on how far and how long this crisis lasts.” OSU’s Wesson leaving to enter NBA draft COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State star Kaleb Wesson plans to enter the NBA draft. Wesson announced in a tweet Wednesday night that he would forego his ﬁnal year of eligibility and declare for the draft. Analysts have projected him as a secondround pick. Wesson can sign with an agent for exploratory purposes and still protect his ﬁnal year of eligibility. He has until June 3 to make a decision. Wesson, a native of the Columbus suburbs play- KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid is like most people these days. The Kansas City Chiefs coach is hunkered down in his basement, trying to avoid going out in public as he works from a makeshift ofﬁce consisting of a computer, an iPad and an old side table. The difference, though: He’s trying to build a team that can defend a Super Bowl title. It’s hard enough when things are normal — only seven franchises have won back-to-back championships. But it’s even more difﬁcult when the offseason has been thrown into turmoil because of the coronavirus pandemic, affecting everything from free agency Ten Conference. The Buckeyes won nine of their last 12 to end the regular season and never got to play beyond that because of the spread of the new coronavirus. The 6-foot-9 forward transformed his body between his sophomore and junior seasons, dropping from 289 pounds to 255 and adding muscle. The change was evident in his quickness and endurance. He also developed into an effective outside shooter, averaging 42.5% from beyond the 3-point arc. Among those Wesson to the NFL draft to team workouts that should have begun this month, but will not. “Well, we stay as current as we can through information from the league,” Reid said on a conference call with local reporters Thursday. “We’re approaching it like we’re having a season, and I think it’s two-fold because it can be a real positive energy giver back to the country at a time of maybe need for that. At the same time, we’re very sensitive to what’s going on.” Reid has the same feeling about the upcoming NFL draft, which will take place without fans later this month amid the nationwide lockdown.

In the meantime, Reid and Chiefs general manager Brett Veach to keep plugging away on their roster. With very little room under the salary cap, the Chiefs have been largely quiet in free agency. They signed veteran offensive lineman Mike Remmers to provide depth across the board; brought in journeyman cornerback Antonio Hamilton to compete for a starting role; and signed XFL quarterback Jordan Ta’amu to add another voice in that room. ing time will be as limited as possible. “I think if rosters are expanded in the beginning, which I know is in the works for sure, it’ll cut down that time,” Arizona Gold Glove shortstop Nick Ahmed said. “No one wants to have an extended spring training during that time. We’re going to do our best to get things moving when we get the go ahead.” Blake believes internal prep time is more meaningful than exhibitions. “I do think that there’s probably a window where we should kind of have our own team together,” he said, “to kind of build up that ﬁrst seven days or so before we throw them into competition against other teams, just given that there’s too many variables that you can’t control when you start playing games against other teams.” Because pitchers ramped up in February and March, then backed off, he thinks there could be more injuries when training resumes. “I think the scariest part is that the level of intensity that you’re asking a guy to go in facing hitters,” Blake said. “I think it’s hard to expect them to carry that intensity on their own. So I think we need to be very careful in that ﬁrst seven day-window. They may have been throwing bullpens and they may have been doing long toss, but that unknown of getting on the slope and competing against hitters is another level of intensity that is hard to replicate.” (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Amy Carter Product Specialist �� !�� !� �� amycarter@markporterauto.com REAL ESTATE FOR RENT Apartments/Townhouses Ellm View Apts. &DOO IRU DPHQLWLHV� /DQGORUG SD\V :DWHU� 7UDVK� 6HZDJH� 5HQW� �� 8S� �� Equal Housing Opportunity �COMICS Daily Sentinel BLONDIE Friday, April 3, 2020 3B By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � �� Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane �� &RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO � � � � Hank Ketcham’s � ��&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � see what’s brewing on the job market.

We’re not even sure where to start with this idea, especially since these mammoth vessels have become synonymous with spreading the virus rather than providing a safe haven. There’s also the little matter of trying to hoop it up on a ship that’s potentially swaying back and forth in stormy waters. And, oh yeah, there would likely be some lengthy injury reports listing “seasickness” as the ailment. Hey, here’s an alternative: the NBA postseason on Gilligan’s Island. from the 1980s? But the idea that athletes should potentially risk their own health to The NBA playoffs on give us more TV options cruise ships? is reckless at best and Tiger vs. Lefty, The Tiger King-level wacko Sequel? at worst.

Then came the tantalizing response from Mickelson, “Working on it.” Followed by another that said, “I don’t tease. I’m kinda a sure thing.” Before long, Vegas bookies were setting lines on a possible match-up. Golf.com reported that NFL quarterback Tom Brady and retired rival Peyton Manning might pair up with Woods and Mickelson in a team format. In a sign of how desperate everyone is for live sports, no one seemed to care that Woods-Mickelson I, which was held in Las Vegas in November 2018, was a technicallyimpaired dud. OK, we’ll grant that this proposal makes a lot more sense than playoff basketball on cruise ships. The risk of infection on a wide-open golf course with only a few people around would be minimized. Not to mention, the match could double as a fundraiser for pandemic relief. Still, it would send the wrong signal for two of the world’s most promi- nent athletes to break a quarantine that so many people are observing. And, yes, there’s a chance someone could fall ill no matter how many safeguards are taken. So, Phil, maybe get back to us when it’s safe to play a real golf tournament. — Finally, let’s consider perhaps the most ludicrous idea of all. Helmut Marko, an advisor with the Red Bull Formula One team, proposed holding a training camp that would expose drivers to the coronavirus so they could build immunity to the disease while the season is on hold. That way, he said, the team’s drivers could recover in time for races later in the year.
