Eastern successful at Science Olympiad
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

REEDSVILLE — 2020
marked the third consecutive year the Eastern
Middle School Science
Olympiad team has
qualiﬁed for the state
competition.
The team placed third
at the Science Olympiad
Regional Tournament
held in Marietta, qualifying them for the state
tournament.
The state competition was scheduled for
later this month, but has
since been canceled due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are disappointed
that the team will not
be able to go to the
state tournament,” said
Middle School Principal
Bill Francis.
Middle School Science
teacher Todd Bean, who
is new to the Science
Olympiad program,
explained that he “inherited a successful Science
Olympiad program.”

Krista Johnson had previously led the Science
Olympiad program at
the school.
Bean said he had been
part of science fair competitions, include the
state science fair, but
had not worked with Science Olympiad prior to
this year.
This year’s team of 20
students included four
returning freshmen and
four returning eighth
graders.
“They were a big
help,” said Bean of the
returning students.
“This is a fantastic program.”
Francis said of the
work of Bean and the
students, “To take over
the program and place in
his ﬁrst year is an excellent job.”
According to the Ohio
Science Olympiad website, Science Olympiad
competitions are like
academic track meets,
consisting of a series of
23 events.

According to the state

Bean said that Science

the ability to demonstrate their “knowledge,

“There is a whole different realm of abilities

MEIGS HEALTH MATTERS

Rabies: A public health success story
Only a few generations
ago, a bite from a “mad”
animal meant certain
death. Today, thanks to
the application of public
health interventions,
cases of rabies in domestic animals is sparse and
human cases are even
fewer.
Rabies is a virus that
affects the nervous
system of mammals.
Early symptoms include
strange behavior. A
normally docile animal
may appear aggressive,
or a normally aggressive
animal may be docile. As
the virus spreads inside
the affected animal, the
symptoms progress into
difﬁculty in coordination
of movements such as
staggering and seizures,
then to difﬁculty swallowing, and excessive
drooling. Transmission
is usually through the
saliva of the infected
animal.
Even today, there is
no cure for rabies. Once
symptoms appear, the
disease is nearly always
fatal. This is why public
health interventions are
so important.

THEIR VIEW

What do we
do in hard
times?
What do we do when things are going very
well? There is an old adage (of Roman times I
believe) that claims “Hard times make tough
men, tough men make good times, good times
make weak men, and weak men make hard
times.”
While we have had our issues over the past
twenty years, I am convinced that we have
experienced relatively good times. Even our
poorest in this country have
much, our wealthiest are living in
such comfort and ease it reads like
a fantasy.
The average family has enough
to eat and money left over for
extraneous things. Generosity
from the American people has
been incredible. Times have been
Morgan
McKinniss predominantly good.
However, these last three
Contributing
months
have rapidly accelerated
columnist
into hard times, and it looks like it
will only get worse before it gets
better.
I do not want to make little of those suffering
worse, their pain is greater than ours who are
simply stuck at home and learning to adjust.
People are dying, and their families are wading
through a mire of sadness and loss while I sit
in my recliner and write on a full belly and a
content disposition.
But, as a society we are being forced to
adjust and live differently, and I am of the opinion that it is a good thing.
We have begun to examine our priorities, to
consider what really matters, and to cherish
those most important to us. These are good
things. We are arguing less over the silly and
pointless and are reaching out to our neighbors
and children and ensuring their care. We are
not debating as much as we are spending time
investing in those we love, this is a good thing.
I am no prophet and, as my wife likes to
remind me, know very little in the grand
scheme of things.
I would argue here that this hardship and
trial we are facing is for our beneﬁt. It is certainly not the greatest trial man has ever faced,
but these somewhat hard times will help make
us tougher people.
We are seeing what matters more clearly. To
reference another article in this paper, I believe
our local stores will be sold out of canning jars
this summer. People will learn to prepare for
tough times that will inevitably come again.
We will become less dependent on organizations that have failed us in this hard time.
What do we do in hard times? We get tougher, we grow closer, and endure. This ultimately
is the American way, it is a good way. It is not
the ﬁrst time we have faced tough times, and it
will not be the last.
We will get tougher and better times will
come; life will go on. If you read this and think
it does not really apply to you, I ask you to
examine what is really important. Hold close to
your family and friends, and learn to be ready
for other hard times.
These are good things.

“We hold these truths

Fabric of the community
Masks for
health care
workers
By Kayla Hawthorne
khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.com

OHIO VALLEY — Crafty members
of the community are working to
make homemade masks out of fabric
for healthcare workers in need.
Many worry that the COVID-19 outbreak will cause shortages of personal
protective equipment (PPE) throughout the country. Some local hospitals
and nursing homes are requesting
donations of the homemade fabric
masks that local sewers and quilters
have been making.
Debbie Duvall is a member of
Soothing Stitches, a group of ﬁve
ladies in Meigs County, Ohio,
who make quilts for sick children.
Duval and her fellow members have
switched from making quilts to making masks.
“We started the whole project
because we know that a lot of our
Soothing Stitches kids still have to go
out for appointments, treatments, etc.
and we wanted them to be protected,”
Duvall said. “It then grew from there.”
Duvall said the group began making masks a few weeks ago for the
Soothing Stitches children and their
immediate families. They sent approximately 100 masks to them.
The sewers have sent 170 to two
local nursing homes. In total, Soothing Stitches have made close to 400
masks in about 10 days.
Amber Ridenour, owner of Bed
Head Cardinal Fabric and Quilting in
Chester, Ohio, is also making masks
for individuals and now healthcare
workers.
“Most of the masks I have made
have gone to individuals needing
them, but now that many local hospitals are asking for help, I will be
focusing on that,” Ridenour said.
Many people making masks have
had difﬁcultly ﬁnding elastic to use
as the earpieces. Duvall said one of
their daughters bought several packs
of elastic when they got started. She
said they have enough to make about

200 more masks and then will switch
to making earpieces that tie.
The masks that Duvall is making
are made from 100 percent cotton.
Some homemade masks have a pocket
to insert ﬁlters for extra ﬁltration.
Duvall said their masks do not have
the insert pocket, but they still offer
another layer of protection.
Ridenour said most patterns call for
at least two layers of tightly woven
cotton, but some healthcare facilities are requesting speciﬁc patters or
materials.
“As the need for homemade masks
is increasing, many different health
facilities are asking for a certain pattern,” Ridenour said. “So it is deﬁnitely recommended to check their
website and Facebook page to make
sure their standards are being met.”
Ridenour said Holzer Health System requested their homemade masks
be made out of canvas, denim or duck
cloth as the outer layer.
“I started making the masks
because I have the ability and want
to do my part to help those that have
such a need for them,” Ridenour said.
Duvall and the other ladies with
Soothing Stitches are currently making masks for Marietta Memorial
Hospital, who recently asked the public for donations after originally not
accepting the fabric masks.
Duvall said they are donating the
masks to sick children and families,
nursing homes and hospitals, but
are asking for a small donation from
the general public if they would like
masks. Duvall said all the money from
those donations will go toward quilts
when they resume making those.
Duvall also said that followers of the
Soothing Stitches Facebook page sent
donations when they heard about the
project.
Tracy Call, executive director of
marketing and business development
with Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH),
said that the hospital is asking for
volunteers to make masks if they have
the ability. PVH is asking that the
masks be made of 100 percent cotton
and a pattern from www.craftpassion.
com.
Call said PVH could also use other
supplies — including cleaning supplies, rubbing alcohol, bleach, and
other PPE, such as gloves, head cover,
shoe cover and disposable coveralls.
Donations can be dropped off at the
main entrance to the hospital.

Heritage College students help in fighting pandemic Hocking Hills State
Staff Report

ATHENS — The Ohio
University Heritage
College of Osteopathic
Medicine is sending in
reinforcements in Ohio’s
battle with COVID19. Starting April 13,
approximately 250 medical students will deploy
to local health agencies
to assist in containing
the outbreak and support Ohio’s public health
professionals.
All third-year Heritage
College students will
participate in the new
COVID-19 public health
rotation, a four-week
course designed by the
medical school in partnership with the Ohio
Department of Health,
and implemented with
help from other state
agencies. Through the
rotation, students will
contribute signiﬁcantly
to the state’s response
to the pandemic —
especially in small,
understaffed local health
agencies.
“Our students have
been asking, ‘How can
we help?’” said William
Burke, D.O. (’88), dean
of the college’s Dublin,
Ohio, campus, who led
the effort to put together
the contents of the new
rotation. “Our students
are willing to go above
and beyond to provide
service to help their
communities. And we
think this meets not only
their desire, but also
the needs of the state of
Ohio.”

chief medical affairs ofﬁcer, who ﬁrst approached
ODH about having medical students bolster the
health care workforce,
especially with the anticipated rise in coronavirus cases this spring.
“Our medical students
are excited to be able
to apply their talents
toward supporting
patients and health care
systems in this way,”
said Johnson. “They are
well-equipped to provide
this relief, and we’re
thankful to the Ohio
Department of Health
and others for making
possible meaningful curricular experiences that
both preserve personal
protective equipment
and keep our future physicians safe and on track
to graduate.”
Mark Hurst, M.D.,
medical director for
ODH, said that having
medical students in critical public health roles
will free up physicians,
nurses and other frontline providers to devote
more time to the direct

care of patients.
“We’re immensely
grateful for the willingness of our higher education institutions to lend
their assistance at this
time, especially with
the anticipated surge in
April and May,” he said.
“As our state’s future
medical workforce,
they’ll be better prepared
to deal with future disease outbreaks.”
Ohio University President M. Duane Nellis,
Ph.D., said the pandemic
has created an “all hands
on deck” situation in
which the medical college and other units
have talents that can
help the state minimize
COVID-19’s impact.
“Ohio University has a
long history of service to
our state and its people,”
Nellis said. “We are discussing ways our partnership can be expanded
quickly to include
students in a variety of
health-related and communications ﬁelds.”

the Ohio Association of

Working either remotely
or on site, students will
help with patient navigation, patient monitoring
and contact tracing.
Other jobs might include
acting as public information ofﬁcers through
social media, communicating with local health
care providers and
answering COVID-19
phone hotlines.
Simultaneously, students will learn about
the prevention, control and treatment of
COVID-19 and pandemic infections in general.
Learning modules will
include handwashing/
disinfection, personal
protective equipment,
quarantine, social distancing, clinical aspects

and the Ohio Department of Health’s (ODH)
guidance, the Ohio
Department of Natural

Park and all of its trails
at sunset on Friday, April
3.
“In order to protect
the health and safety of
our visitors, we are temporarily closing Hocking
Hills State Park,” said
ODNR Director Mary
Mertz. “This was a difﬁcult decision, however,
this unique trail system
is not designed to allow
for adequate social distancing without potential risks.”
The challenging terrain of a narrow trail system, where stepping off
the trail is strictly prohibited, makes keeping 6
feet of distance between
visitors nearly impossible. In some areas,
stepping off the trail may
result in injury. Limited park stafﬁng could
impact response time as
well as place undue pressure on local emergency
personnel should falls or
accidents occur.
At this time, Hocking
Hills State Park is the
only full park closure in
Ohio’s state park system
and will include the closure of several features
and sites including: Ash

PVH prepares dedicated triage site for Covid-19
Staff Report

POINT PLEASANT
— The Pleasant Valley
Hospital Emergency
Department (ER) is prepared to treat patients
potentially infected with
Coronavirus COVID-19,
stated a press release
from PVH on Friday.
The press release continued:
“Based on current
protocols from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC),
Pleasant Valley Hospital
has prepared a dedicated
triage building located
outside the ER to help
contain and treat potential COVID-19 patients.
The site will open on
Saturday, April 4.”
“Our hospital continually works to be
prepared for all types of
infectious diseases such
as measles, ﬂu or viruses
like coronavirus COVID19. We are taking proactive steps to prepare

for the protection of
patients, our caregivers and the community,
and monitoring ongoing
COVID-19 updates from
the CDC. We are using
the screening guidelines for symptoms and
risk factors and have a
response plan to protect
patients and our staff
should it be needed. If
a physician determines
a patient meets the risk
criteria, they will coordinate testing and the
patient’s ultimate disposition, coordinating
with the department of
health, as necessary. We
understand the sensitivity currently and want to
reassure the community
that we remain alert and
ready to provide such
care if necessary,” said
Jeff Noblin, FACHE,

AG cuts red tape to put cadets and retirees on the road
COLUMBUS — Ohio
Attorney General Dave
Yost has directed the
Ohio Peace Ofﬁcer
Training Academy
(OPOTA) to expedite
the ﬁnal examinations
of about 300 police
cadets and allow them to
quickly bolster the ranks
of law enforcement in
Ohio.
“We have to do everything legally, and safely,
within our power to get
ofﬁcers and deputies on
the streets of our state,”
General Yost said. “Our
brave men and women in
uniform will be exposed
to the coronavirus, and

we need to make sure
there are reinforcements
should a worst-case scenario materialize.”
Also, General Yost
is working with local
agencies to create a
pathway for recently
retired law enforcement
ofﬁcers in good standing
to return to the streets
of Ohio. This pathway
includes allowing returning ofﬁcers one year to
complete their required
training from the date
they are rehired. More
than 1,000 peace ofﬁcers
retire each year in Ohio.
OPOTA staff is also
working with local

agencies to determine
which required trainings
retired ofﬁcers will need
to complete to be compliant with the OPTOA
certiﬁcation. Those
trainings will be moved
to eOPOTA and will be
available through the
online training portal.
Any rehired law enforcement ofﬁcers will be
able to utilize eOPOTA’s
online training portal
to access the required
trainings.
With the growing
number of infected
Ohioans, and knowing
the risk of communal
spread, communities

must do everything
they can to protect their
residents. Given that
uncertainty, the need for
ample law enforcement
ofﬁcers to protect Ohioans is critical. Unfortunately, ofﬁcers are at
high risk of becoming
ill from the coronavirus
due to their frequent
interactions with the
public.
Yost’s team will devise
a plan that will safely
test those ofﬁcers who
have completed their
required training but
have not taken the ﬁnal
exam. Preliminary plans
have the test being

offered on different
days, allowing fewer
people to be in the
same room during the
examination and will put
approximately 300 law
enforcement ofﬁcers in
action to serve and protect the public.
OPOTA will review
on a case-by-case basis a
provisional certiﬁcation
for a cadet depending
on the completion of
certain critical training.
This approval will be in
consultation with the
cadet’s basic training
academy.

Charleston Catholic junior Aiden Satterfield was named captain of the
Class A boys all-state team after averaging 19.1 points and 4.9 rebounds
this season for the Irish.

CHARLESTON, W.Va.
— There wasn’t much
doubt that the No. 1
University High boys’
basketball team (22-3)
was favored to return to
the Class AAA ﬁnals this
year.
Now, with their season
in limbo, it’s expected
seniors K.J. McClurg and
Kaden Metheny won’t
suit up in their high
school uniforms again,
their senior season effectively over due to the
coronavirus pandemic.
Regardless of the
what-ifs, McClurg and
Metheny aren’t leaving
UHS empty-handed. Both
were named ﬁrst team allstate Friday by the West
Virginia Sports Writers
Association, solidifying
their careers at University
on a high note.
Four years ago,
Metheny and McClurg
stepped onto the court
at UHS for the ﬁrst time.
Since then, they’ve led
University to one title
and potentially another.
Greatness hasn’t
escaped the pair who
have been intertwined
with each other since
they were in 5th-grade.
In 2019 the duo helped
University win its ﬁrst
Class AAA state title with
a victory over then-No. 1
Martinsburg. This year,
the Hawks battled some
of the best teams in the
country, nearly beating
the highly-touted Arizona
5A state champion Millennium High in Myrtle
Beach, S.C., losing 65-63.
It was the Hawks’ ﬁrst
loss of the year and was
immediately followed
by their second, a 79-73
defeat at the hands of
Beach Ball Classic host
Myrtle Beach who is a
powerhouse in the Palmetto State. But when
things looked bleak,
Metheny and McClurg
rallied the troops and
UHS took off once more,
going on a four-game win
streak which saw tight
wins over Morgan Park
(Ill.), rival Morgantown
and Kennedy Catholic
(Pa.).
The streak was eventually snapped by Morgantown Jan. 15, another
two-point loss reminiscent of the loss to Millennium, in which Metheny
and McClurg combined
for 42 points, with 32 and
10 points, respectively.
That loss was a brutal
reality check for the
Hawks, knocking them
out of the No. 1 spot in
the West Virginia Associated Press Poll. It was a
check coach Joe Schmidle
remembers it well.
“The Morgantown
game was a wakeup call,”
he said. “As much as any
coach or any kid hates to
say it, I think there was
some complacency, and
they needed it. I don’t
think they were working
hard enough in practice,
they weren’t taking things
seriously enough and,
you know, when that happened it got us focused.
Not just the kids, but for
me, too, and we needed
to do some things to get
better.”
Schmidle noted that
even Metheny and
McClurg weren’t immune
to the reality check, as
each player had to win

what do they think we need to do. It

all by comfortable margins.
While they may not get a chance at
repeating for the title, Metheny and
McClurg were recognized for their
outstanding seasons with ﬁrst team allstate honors. However, the end goal still
feels unfulﬁlled.
“It’s an amazing accomplishment and
it’s special to share that with K.J., but I
think I can speak for both of us that we
wanted to end the year as state champions, not ﬁrst team all-state,” Metheny
said. “We wanted that team accomplishment. But it’s deﬁnitely amazing to
share it with my brother and teammate.
We’ve been the one-two punch together
over the years. With the season ending
like it did, it’s hard, but we know there’s
a reason for this. God has a purpose
and He’s going to redeem it, but we
have to try and ﬁnd every positive out
of this. It’s been an amazing year. We
accomplished so many things and this is
a team I’ll remember and cherish for the
rest of my life.”
“It’s great to know that we went out
with a bang,” McClurg said. “It didn’t
go how we wanted it to, but everything

we worked for up to this point, it shows
that the work we put in paid off. We’re
blessed to be in the situation we are at
UHS. I want to thank my coaches, teammates and parents for pushing me.”
Metheny, named ﬁrst team captain,
snapped two major school records this
year. He ﬁrst overcame current-Milwaukee Brewers inﬁelder Jedd Gyorko’s alltime 3-point record during the Hawks’
routing of Wheeling Park in the OVAC
semiﬁnals, surpassing the former Hawk
with his opening trey to take the No.
1 spot. He then hit his 2,000th-career
point in the Hawks’ sectional ﬁnals
win over Morgantown, a game where
he was just shy of the school’s singlegame scoring record (Duke Pride, 53
points) with 44 points. Further, he averaged 24.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.4
assists per game.
“I’ve played basketball my entire life
and I’ve been blessed with so many
things through this entire journey,”
Metheny said. “It’s all from God, ﬁrst
and foremost. Going into UHS as a
freshman, I never would have thought
I’d accomplish this many things. It’s a
true testament to the hard work I’ve put
into the game of basketball. To see what
it’s panned out to be is truly amazing,
but I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish those things without my teammates, coaches and trainers.
“For coach Schmidle to be able to rely
on me going in as a freshman and make
me a starter as a freshman, he truly
believed in me and I’ll cherish that for
the rest of my life. He’s been the best
coach I’ve ever played under and we’ve
created a coach-player bond that is
inseparable. All these accomplishments
are humbling. For everything that I’ve
done as a kid out of Morgantown, I
hope that I can set an example for the
younger kids coming up that you can
be someone coming out of this city and
you can accomplish so many things.”
Metheny signed to continue his
career at Bowling Green.
Though one can easily be overshadowed by such a talent as Metheny,
McClurg stood out just as much among
his comrade. He was the second in line
in scoring, rebounds and assists, averaging 20.3 points, 4.8 boards and 2.8
assists per game.

McClurg credits his success to a stiﬂing defense as a bigger-bodied guard
and becoming a leader early on in his
junior year.
“We’ve always had scorers and players
that can just play, and I’m always driven
to win,” McClurg said. “I really give it
all defensively. I think I’m one of the
better defenders out there. Rebounding,
I’m a bigger guard so I do my best. And
leadership [which] nowadays is critical.
Last year we had two seniors so someone had to step up and I think Kaden
and I really stepped up as leaders on
and off the court.”
McClurg’s game improved from athlete to player over the years.
“Since 5th-grade I was always out of
control. I wasn’t really skilled around
the perimeter, I was always one of those
kids who was a football player and transitioned into driving to the hole and
using my body and strength to ﬁnish
at the hoop,” McClurg said. “As I grew
older I started working out with Kaden
and other guys who were guard- and
perimeter-oriented, so ever since high
school, I’ve been working on both parts
of the game, even midrange. It’s hard to
guard someone who has all three.”
And while Metheny has been a
long-time commit to Bowling Green,
McClurg is still weighing his options,
though he’s close to choosing a college.
After pulling out of a commitment to
Niagara following Patrick Beilein’s resignation in October, McClurg opened
his recruitment once again. He’s
currently being pursued by multiple
programs, including offers from New
Hampshire, Navy, West Liberty and
Nova Southeastern, plus interest from
Rider, UMBC and UNC-Asheville.
The duo is joined on ﬁrst team by
Teddy Marshall (Martinsburg), Mason
Pinkett (George Washington, 17.3

Olympics Village could house virus patients
TOKYO (AP) — The
under-construction
Athletes Village for the
Tokyo Olympics could
be used as a temporary
hospital for coronavirus
patients.
Tokyo Governor
Yuriko Koike has been
talking about the possibility of occupying the
massive development
on Tokyo Bay, which is
to house up to 11,000
Olympic and 4,400
Paralympic athletes and
staff during the games.
The complex, which
will eventually include
24 buildings, is expected to remain unoccupied with the Olympics
delayed for 16 months.
Koike said the Athletes Village was “one of
the options, but the village is not ﬁnished yet.
We are talking about
places that are available
even today or tomorrow
and checking a possibility one by one.”
As another alternative, Koike said on
Friday that the Tokyo
city government would

buy a hotel to house
patients.
Through Thursday,
Japan had reported
about 3,300 cases of
coronavirus with 74
deaths, according to the
health ministry. Tokyo
reported 97 new cases
on Thursday with ofﬁcials looking for more
beds in the capital as
totals rise.
The coronavirus
causes mild or moderate symptoms for most
people and can include
a fever, coughing and
mild pneumonia. The
risk of death is greater
for older adults and
people with other
health problems.
The 5,600 units in
the Athletes Village
will be renovated after
the Olympics and sold.
Almost 1,000 are now
for sale, or have been
sold. Occupancy was
supposed to begin
in 2023, and apartment prices are listed
between $500,000 and
$2 million.

is a joint venture involving 10 major companies
and the city of Tokyo.
The complex will be
known as Harumi Flag
and the developers
include Mitsui Fudosan Residential Co.,
Nomura Real Estate
Development Co., and
Sumitomo Realty &amp;
Development Co.
The group running
Harumi Flag said the
proposal to use the
property for coronavirus beds was speculation and added the
developers had not
heard from the city. The
group also said Harumi
Flag had not decided
on its plans for the

development in light of
the 16-month Olympic
postponement.
One of the biggest
challenges for Olympics
organizers will be lining
up the Athletes Village
for next year, along
with about 40 sports
venues.
Estimates suggest the
postponement will cost
between $2 billion and
$6 billion, with most of
the bill going to Japanese taxpayers.
Tokyo organizers
ofﬁcially are spending
$12.6 billion to organize
the Olympics, although
a government audit says
the ﬁgure is twice that
much. All but $5.6 billion is public money.
Organizing committee documents show
the Switzerland-based
International Olympic
Committee is contributing $1.3 billion. The
IOC had income of $5.7
billion in the last fouryear Olympic cycle.
More than 90% is from
selling broadcast rights
and sponsorships.

make 68 treys, but he
shot 52% overall and 89%
at the free-throw line.
Also earning spots on the
ﬁrst unit were Greater
Beckley Christian senior
Elijah Edwards and Tug
Valley junior Caleb May.
Edwards had a 30-point
game against defending Class AAA state
champ University. A 76%
foul shooter, Edwards
knocked knocked down
52 trifectas and averaged
13.9 points to go along
with six assists. May was
the catalyst in helping

Tug Valley reach the big
dance as the Panthers
eliminated Parkersburg
Catholic in the regional.
May put up better than
17 points a game for a
Panther program which
went 13-12 and played
11 games against ranked
Class A or AA opponents.
Pendleton County was
the lone undefeated team
in single-A. The 23-0
Wildcats were led by
junior Bailey Thompson,
who was selected as the
second-team captain. He
averaged 16.9 points, 8.9
rebounds, 2.6 assists and
shot 59%.
Magnolia had the No. 7
