Governor Jon Husted in a news release. “The Governor and I are grateful to Facebook and T-Mobile for helping to make these efforts possible and for being a part of the solution we all continue to work toward of ensuring every Ohioan can access the modern education system, modern economy, and modern healthcare system through broadband internet.” FAO, Facebook, and T-Mobile will each contribute to libraries and schools in the region to help support their work to address gaps in connectivity throughout Appalachian Ohio’s communities. “The children and families of Appalachian Ohio face a true barrier to education, accessing telehealth options, and connecting digitally to the opportunities that will help them thrive,” said the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio’s President & CEO, Cara Dingus Brook. “We are grateful to work with Facebook and T-Mobile to help Appalachian Ohio bridge this digital divide as internet access continues to be especially critical.” FAO’s I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund will provide libraries with hotspots, which library patrons may check out just like books through hotspot lending programs.

Surveillance video shows a man wearing a black “I (heart) NY” sweatshirt and a backpack hitting the 67-year-old “Ghostbusters” star and knocking him to the ground around 7:24 a.m. Thursday. The attack happened just a few blocks from the Central Park West apartment building where Moranis’ character lived in the movie. Moranis took himself to the hospital and later went to a police station to report the incident, according to the ofﬁcial, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the incident and did so on condition of anonymity. Moranis’ representative Troy Bailey said in a written statement Friday: “Rick Moranis was assaulted on the Upper West Side yesterday. He is ﬁne but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes.” Police released surveillance video of the assault in seeking the public’s help to ﬁnd the attacker, but did not say Moranis was the victim because of privacy concerns.

Trump “remains fatigued,” his doctor said. Trump was to depart the White House by helicopter late Friday for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The White House said the visit was precautionary and that he would work from the hospital’s presidential suite, which is equipped to allow him to continue his ofﬁcial duties. “President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” said press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. “Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential ofﬁces at Walter Reed for the next few days.” Earlier Friday the White House said Trump had been injected with an experimental antibody cocktail by the White House physician. Just a month before the presidential election, Trump’s revelation that he was positive for the virus came by tweet about 1 a.m. after he had returned from an afternoon political fundraiser. He had gone ahead, saying nothing to the crowd though knowing he had been exposed to an aide with the disease that has infected millions in America and killed more than a million people worldwide. First lady Melania Trump also tested positive, the president said, and several others in the White House have, too, prompting concern that the White House or even Trump himself might have spread the virus further. Trump has spent much of the year downplaying the threat of the virus, rarely wearing a protective mask and urging states and cities to “reopen” and reduce or eliminate shutdown rules. The president’s physician said in a memo late Friday that Trump received a dose of an experimental antibody cocktail by Regeneron that is in clinical trials. Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley said Trump Carolyn Kaster | AP President Donald Trump was to depart the White House by helicopter late Friday for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as a precaution because of his infection with COVID-19. The White House said he would work from the hospital’s presidential suite, which is equipped to allow him to continue his official duties. “remains fatigued but in good spirits” and that a team of experts was evaluating both the president and ﬁrst lady in regard to next steps. The ﬁrst lady, who is 50, has a “mild cough and headache,” Conley reported, and the remainder of the ﬁrst family, including the Trumps’ son Barron, who lives at the White House, tested negative. Both Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris have tested negative, their campaign said. Vice President Mike Pence tested negative for the virus Friday morning and “remains in good health,” his spokesman said. Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who was with him and many others on Saturday and has been on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers, also tested negative, the White House said. Trump’s diagnosis was sure to have a destabilizing effect in Washington and around the world, raising questions about how far the virus has spread through the highest levels of the U.S. government. Hours before Trump announced he had contracted the virus, the White House said a top aide who had traveled with him during the week had tested positive. “Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately,” Trump tweeted just before 1 a.m. “We will get through this TOGETHER!” While House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Friday tried to assure the public that Trump was conducting business as usual, even as he conﬁrmed that the White House knew Hope Hicks, the aide, had tested positive before Trump attended a Thursday fundraiser in New Jersey. “I can tell you in terms of Hope Hicks, we discovered that right as Marine One was taking off yesterday,” said Meadows. Several staffers were pulled from the trip, but Trump did not cancel and there was no direct evidence that her illness was connected to his. Many White House and senior administration ofﬁcials were undergoing tests Friday, but the full scale of the outbreak around the president may not be known for some time as it can take days for an infection to be detectable by a test. Ofﬁcials with the White House Medical Unit were tracing the president’s contacts. Trump’s reelection campaign said it was putting on hold all events featuring Trump and members of his family but that Pence would resume campaigning since he tested negative. Trump was last seen by reporters returning to the White House on Thursday evening and did not appear ill. He is 74 years old and clinically obese, putting him at higher risk of serious complications from a virus that has infected more than 7 million people nationwide. Trump has been trying all year to convince the American public that the worst of the pandemic is behind them. In the best of cases, if he develops few symptoms, which can include fever, cough and breathing trouble, it will likely force him off the campaign trail and puts his participation in the second presidential debate, scheduled for Oct. 15 in Miami, into doubt. Trump’s handling of the pandemic has already been a major ﬂashpoint in his race against Biden, who spent much of the summer off the campaign trail and at his home in Delaware citing concern about the virus. Biden has since resumed a more active campaign schedule, but with small, socially distanced crowds. He also regularly wears a mask in public, something Trump mocked him for at Tuesday night’s debate.

Holiday hours GALLIPOLIS — Bossard Memorial Library will be closed on Monday, Oct. 12, in observance of Columbus Day. Normal hours will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 9 a.m. Noah Berger | AP A firefighter battles the Glass Fire burning in a Calistoga, Calif., vineyard on Thursday. Numerous wildfires have scorched an area of California larger than Connecticut. California milestone: 4 million acres burned in wildfires By Olga R. Rodriguez Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — California is poised to hit a fearsome milestone: 4 million acres burned this year by wildﬁres that have killed 31 people and incinerated hundreds of homes in what is already the worst ﬁre season on record. Flames have scorched an area larger than Connecticut and ﬁre crews at a blaze in the wine country north of San Francisco were on high alert Friday as forecasters warned of rextreme ﬁre danger into Saturday. However, powerful winds didn’t materialize early Friday, allowing ﬁre crews a chance to make some gains, but winds up to 30 mph (48 kph) were forecast to push through the hills of Napa and Sonoma counties as the Glass Fire, which exploded in size earlier in the week, threatens more than 28,000 homes and other buildings. “So far we have not seen the velocity of the winds that we were expecting,” said Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mark Brunton. “But there will be gusts and ... we do have hot embers and it won’t take much to take that and blow it into a very dry receptive fuel bed. That gives us cause for concern.” Winds were blowing at higher elevations on the western side of the ﬁre and crews expected a long battle to keep ﬂames from jumping containment lines and to prevent spot ﬁres from leaping ahead to spark new blazes. “It’s going to be a big ﬁreﬁght for us over the next 36 hours,” said Billy See, an assistant chief with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire. More crews and equipment were deployed in and around Calistoga, a town of 5,000 people known for hot springs, mud baths and wineries in the hills of Napa County about 70 miles (110 kilometers) north of San Francisco. The area was also experiencing high temperatures and thick smoke that fouled the air throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Numerous studies have linked bigger wildﬁres in America to climate change from the burning of coal, oil and gas. Scientists say climate change has made California much drier, meaning trees and other plants are more ﬂammable. Gov. Gavin Newsom toured ﬁre-ravaged Road construction, closures LEBANON TWP. — Lebanon Township Road 29, Stiversville Road, will be closed beginning Wednesday, Oct. 7, and will remain closed for approximately one month.

Pomeroy Fire Dept. promotes Fire Safety Week By Derek Miller Special to OVP During the week of Oct. 4-10, the Pomeroy Fire Department will be observing National Fire Prevention Week. Although many hands-on activities are not possible in the local schools this year, we will still be conducting ﬁre prevention awareness through various methods this year, including radio, billboards, posters, and social media platforms. This year’s ﬁre prevention week theme is, “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” This theme works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking is the leading cause of home ﬁres and home ﬁre injuries in the United States. A few cooking tips to remember that will keep you from having a cooking ﬁre are: never leave cooking food unattended and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking, be alert while cooking: don’t cook if you are sleepy-have taken drugs or consumed alcohol, keep an oven mitt and pan lid nearby to smother ﬂames in the event of a grease ﬁre, and have a kid free zone of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot food and drink is prepared or car- OH-KAN COIN CLUB COIN SHOW FREE ADMISSION RAFFLE PRIZES FREE PARKING SUNDAY OCTOBER 4, 2020 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM FACE MASK REQUIRED 15 DEALERS FEATURING MTS COINS FROM GALLIPOLIS GOLD COIN RAFFLE PRIZES OH-70204520 QUALITY INN STATE ROUTE 7, NORTH GALLIPOLIS, OH ried. As a reminder, we encourage all citizens to check their smoke alarms, as they alert people to a ﬁre in its earliest stage and can mean the difference between life and death. The Pomeroy Fire Department, in conjunction with the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s ofﬁce, is in a drive to save lives and remind all citizens to install smoke detectors in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. Test smoke alarms monthly by pushing the test button, replacing smoke alarm batteries twice a year if needed, closing your bedroom door before bed every night to limit ﬁre growth in the event of a ﬁre, and to practice your home ﬁre escape plan regularly. Finally, I encourage all citizens to support their local ﬁre departments. Although this year’s ﬁre prevention week activities are different than past years, ﬁre prevention education is one of the main ways that we can successfully prevent ﬁres and teach youth about ﬁre safety. Remember that the life that you save might be your own. Derek Miller is the Chief of the Pomeroy Fire Department and President of the Meigs County Firefighter’s Association. (FPL); Uninsured or underinsured (effective Nov. 2019); Ohio Resident. If ladies receive a breast or cervical cancer diagnosis through Ohio’s BCCP, help likely is available.

TOPS works toward weight loss goals The TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) group met recently for their weekly meeting. The TOPS and KOPS pledges were repeated by all members. Applause was given for the KOPS (those who have met their weight goal and are maintaining within a 10 pound range allocated via TOPS Inc.) Respectfully the Pledge to the Flag was recited. Leader Judy Morgan called the meeting to order and led the group in two TOPS songs: “No More Eatsa Little Pizza” and “Zipping Those Pounds Off”. There were eight members weighing in with Roberta Henderson named as best loser. There was no runner up. Due to the coronavirus regulation we would like to remind everyone that our meetings are held with social distancing observed. This is to ensure that all of our meetings are safe for everyone who attends. Masks are also encouraged. Connie Rankin gave the Treasurer’s report and Kathy McDaniel (substituting for Cindy Hyde) read the Secretary’s report. Kathy McDaniel and Anna Nelson were both welcomed back. The Marble Game continues with no winner this week but the Unwrapping Game was played by Roberta Henderson, Nola Easterling, Pat Snedden, Connie Rankin, Judy Morgan, May Frost, Anna Nelson and Kathy McDaniel. Anna Nelson was the winner. The group’s t-shirt colors were displayed and each member ordered their color of choice. The shirts will contain the Chapter’s name and number as well as a hummingbird design. A hummingbird had been selected as the group’s mascot logo. The shirts cost $15, were ordered and will arrive next week. It was decided that each member would absorb the cost for their individual t-shirts. They were reminded to bring the money to the meeting next week. After discussion it was decided to forgo the Open House until Jan. 18, 2021 in hopes that after the ﬁrst of the year people will have a renewed interest in TOPS as their weight loss vehicle to success. Healthy snacks will be served. A TOPS open house is where the public is invited to visit the meeting and learn about TOPS. Leader, Judy Morgan announced that Diane Herbert, Area Coordinator will be attending the meeting the Monday after Thanksgiving (11-30-20). Pat Snedden, assistant weight recorder hosted the program for the evening. It was about how emotions affect our eating habits. She encouraged everyone to make today a fresh start, evaluate your personal weight goal, exercise and various methods to deal with stress. Stress eating is common among those struggling with weight gain. She led the group in open discussion. Open discussion is especially important as members share ideas, recipes and motivational concepts. Conﬁdentiality amongst members is maintained with the group as personal struggles and successes are shared. All agree that if unhealthy foods are brought into the house it is harder to resist eating them. Another tip was to send leftovers home with your guests. Ideas were shared about how to inspire others. A “card basket” was mentioned or to give a member a call, text or use messenger. The group has a TOPS member messenger thread via facebook. This is for members only and is used to share announcements, stories of success and to give encouragement. Pat Snedden also encouraged exercise. She said that “exercise is more than just walking to the refrigerator”. She said that time management is important and that one should schedule regular times for exercise every day.

Baylor multitasker Ebner a concern for West Virginia By John Raby Associated Press Neal Brown watched Trestan Ebner zig, zag and bull his way to four touchdowns in Baylor’s opener, leaving West Virginia’s coach with the task of devising a plan to slow him down. Ebner became the ﬁrst player in the Big 12’s 25-year history to score three different types of touchdowns in a 47-14 win over Kansas last week. The senior returned a kickoff and a free kick after a safety for touchdowns, rushed for a 1-yard score and caught a pass for an 18-yard TD. “That’s impressive,” Brown said as the Mountaineers prepare to host the Bears on Saturday. “He’s fast. Fast and elusive.” Ebner has almost as many touchdowns as he did all of last year (ﬁve), when he attempted just one kickoff return and none on punts. “I’m just thankful that I was able to put my name in the Baylor record books, and I’m thankful for the chance to play with these great guys,” Ebner said. Ebner has given the Mountaineers problems before. As a freshman in 2017, he scored on a 40-yard run and had TD catches of 52 and 9 yards, all in the fourth quarter. Against Kansas, Ebner and two other running backs helped Baylor (1-0, 1-0 Big 12) amass 203 yards on the ground, the same number that West Virginia allowed last week at No. 17 Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers (1-1, 0-1) are coming off a 27-13 loss that was rife with penalties and missed assignments and opportunities, including failing to recover any of the Cowboys’ four fumbles. “We hurt ourselves a bunch,” Brown said. Some other things to know about Baylor and West Virginia: Don’t overlook defense West Virginia’s defense has been spotty but has seen success against Baylor with a combined 13 sacks the past two seasons. This year’s unit has been helped signiﬁcantly with a pair of transfers. Cornerback Alonzo Addae from New Hampshire and Arizona graduate transfer Tony Fields at linebacker lead the Mountaineers in tackles and each has an interception. Linebacker Terrel Bernard led Baylor by far in tackles a year ago and is off to another solid start.

As far as their teams are concerned, giving the dynamic, creative quarterbacks better protection has become a pressing issue. Burrow, the Bengals’ rookie, has been sacked a league-high 14 times in the ﬁrst three games, including eight in last week’s 23-23 tie with the Philadelphia Eagles. Minshew, the Jaguars’ secondyear quarterback, has taken 10 sacks, tied for fourth in the NFL. The Bengals (0-2-1) are still seeking their ﬁrst win — and Bur- row his ﬁrst NFL victory — as the Jaguars (1-2) come to town Sunday as the losers of two straight. In Cincinnati, there has been much handwringing about the dismal performance of the offensive line. Burrow was throttled last week Sunday against the Eagles, getting hit 18 times. Still, he has emerged as one of the few bright spots for the struggling Bengals. Cincinnati auditioned some potential offensive line replacements this week and signed a guard off the practice squad for help. “Still working through it,” Cincinnati coach Zac Taylor said. Burrow says the numbers might be a little misleading. “My style of play, I’m going to get hit,” said the 2019 Heisman Trophy winner who piloted LSU to a national championship. “You know I’m going to try to extend the play as much as I can, and that’s something that I’m going to have to live with and I’ve lived with it. I understand that’s going to happen.” Minshew plays behind a veteran line in Jacksonville, but was sacked four times in last week’s 31-13 loss to Miami and four times in the See BENGALS | 9 �SPORTS Ohio Valley Publishing Saturday, October 3, 2020 9 Baylor 2018.

Rio Grande scored twice more in the ﬁrst four minutes of the second stanza - Borquez from Chechlacz and Pedersen from Borquez - to push the lead to 6-1, while Chechlacz, freshman Timothy Strickland (Woolwich, England) and senior Quinnton Haislop (Jackson, OH) all added unassisted goals to close out the scoring for the RedStorm. The Trailblazers’ ﬁnal marker came from Andrew Smith - off another assist by Hull - with 12:40 left in the contest. Junior Josh Wilson (Cairns, Australia) started in net for Rio and recorded one save in the winning effort. Trey Current went the distance in goal for OCU and recorded 10 saves.

Austin is the best city in the Lone Star State, he declared to laughter after the ﬁrst question. The $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys is a cool stadium, particularly since Mayﬁeld won a Big 12 championship the last time he played there with Oklahoma three years ago. It didn’t take Mayﬁeld long to get to the more important stuff, such as the Browns (2-1) taking a winning record into Sunday’s game for the ﬁrst time since late in the 2014 season. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys (1-2) are trying to get back to .500. “I will have plenty of people there — friends and family, loved ones and all those good people there,” said Mayﬁeld, whose ﬁrst NFL game in Texas was a 29-13 loss at Houston as a rookie. “But I have to treat it like any other game and have to go do our job.” Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett is coming home, too — much closer to home since he grew up a few miles from AT&T Stadium. Garrett was the NFL’s top draft pick out of Texas A&M in 2017, a year before Mayﬁeld. Four-time All-Pro right guard Zack Martin of Dallas didn’t get to play his homecoming game at Indianapolis two years ago, missing a game for the ﬁrst time in his career with a knee injury. But he sees where a player might be a little more hyped. “I’m sure some guys deﬁnitely have that when they go to their hometown,” Martin said. “I think the message here, what we try, especially on the offensive line, you’ve got to prepare the same way for every game. You’ve got to be ready for whatever they throw at you.” A couple bad days end MLB seasons By David Brandt It’s not just the Reds who are done.

Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — After two decades of the same left turns at the same tracks over and over again, NASCAR ﬁnally upended its stagnant calendar with a 2021 schedule that is as radical as the sport has ever seen. Three new venues. A dirt race for the ﬁrst time in more than 50 years. And a whopping six road courses for the elite Cup Series in an overhaul unveiled Wednesday that dumped some of the cookie-cutter oval tracks right off the list. It is a true shakeup after a lack of imagination created the most predictable schedule in sports, one that favored new speedways — 1.5mile ovals that not only all looked the same, but raced the same, too. Not since Indianapolis Motor Speedway was added in 1994 had a Cup race been Scott Stalnaker, Lubeck, WV See Scott’s story by visiting: yourheartatcamdenclark.org MORE HEARTS COUNT ON US. When Scott was having a heart attack and arrived at WVU Medicine Camden Clark by ambulance, the Emergency Room and Cardiac Care teams sprang into action. He needed open-heart surgery and later learned that family history had played a major role. The immediate integrated care he received – from the ER to the OR all under one roof – is what saved Scott’s life that day. He put his heart and trust in the hands of our award winning cardiovascular surgery team. awarded to a track that was not part of an ownership group for an active speedway. NASCAR set aside all the old ways of doing business. “We said back in 2019 … 2021, you were going to see some really bold changes from NASCAR,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s executive vice president. “We believe we’ve delivered on that. We are excited for our fans, it’s an historic schedule, the most changes since 1969.” NASCAR will visit three new venues: Road America in rural Wisconsin, which will host the Cup Series for the ﬁrst time since 1956; the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas; and Nashville Superspeedway, a visit that was previously announced. Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee will ﬁll its 0.533-mile bullring with soil for the ﬁrst Cup race on a dirt track since Richard Petty won at State Fairgrounds Speedway in Raleigh in 1970. Next year’s schedule was the ﬁrst time NASCAR could make big changes since 2016, when it entered into unprecedented, ﬁve-year sanctioning agreements with race promoters. That meant no changes, even as fans begged for something new as the racing often settled into the monotonous. The best NASCAR could do was wait for the contracts to expire.

Now with the switch to the 16-team playoffs as part of the COVID-19 altered schedule, the opening-round, best-of-three series became another shock to the system. The short playoff rounds aren’t totally unprecedented. Baseball has moved to a more sudden-death approach over the past few years, incorporating a winner-take-all, wild-card game in the AL and NL that essentially functioned as a play-in game.

The track in suburbn Joliet was nothing special and its land became more valuable than its spot on the Cup calendar. Also closed was Kentucky Speedway, the track that began its quest for a Cup race through a federal lawsuit ﬁled against NASCAR. Michigan and Dover Raceway in Delaware will go from two Cup races a year to one. Each change required a concession from either NASCAR or Speedway Motorsports, the two largest track operators in the United States. Both companies are now privately owned and hold a monopoly on coveted race dates. But both were willing to take risks, give something to get something, and work together to create a modernized NASCAR. The pandemic this year gave NASCAR an early window to experiment with new ideas, some of which stuck. Midweek races were tried when racing resumed after a 10-week shutdown but the television numbers weren’t good enough to end up on the 2021 schedule. The cost-saving one-day shows of no practice and qualifying are slated for 28 weekends next year, O’Donnell said. It was an extraordinary effort by NASCAR, which still has six weeks remaining in a 38-race interrupted season that runs from February into November. Other highlights: — NASCAR next season will race on six road course races, up from three on the original 2020 schedule. Besides Road America and Circuit of the Americas, the Cup Series will also race for the ﬁrst time on the road course at Indianapolis. The series already competes at Sonoma Raceway in California, Watkins Glen in New York and the Charlotte Roval. — Roger Penske continued big changes in his ﬁrst year as owner of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The track in July hosted the ﬁrst shared weekend between IndyCar and NASCAR, and the Xﬁnity Series gave the road course the ﬁrst race for a stock car. Next year, NASCAR and IndyCar will again be on the same weekend in August and the Cup cars will also race the road course. NASCAR for 27 races used the big, 2.5 mile-oval at Indy, but the race was never the thriller Indy and NASCAR imagined — especially for a “crown jewel.” Moving to the road course give Indy and NASCAR something new on what could become a blockbuster, two-series weekend. �NEWS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Saturday, October 3, 2020 11 Trump’s diagnosis rocks final stage of presidential campaign By Bill Barrow and Steve Peoples er as a nation,” Biden declared at a speech in Associated Press Grand Rapids, warning that the virus “is not going away automatiAn election year cally.” already deﬁned by a While Biden vowed cascade of national crito continue his cautious ses descended further approach to campaigning into chaos Friday, with President Donald Trump during the pandemic, the president’s diagnosis heading to a military hospital with the corona- injected even greater uncertainty into an elecvirus after consistently playing down the threat. tion already plagued by With Trump in quaran- crises that have exploded tine with what the White under Trump’s watch: House described as mild the pandemic, devastating economic fallout and symptoms, Democratic sweeping civil unrest. challenger Joe Biden With millions of Ameripressed a bipartisan message in battleground cans already voting, Michigan after he and his the country on Friday entered uncharted terriwife tested negative. “This cannot be a par- tory that threatened to rattle global markets and tisan moment. It must be an American moment. political debates around We have to come togeth- the world. The development focuses the campaign right where Biden has put his emphasis for months — and where Republicans don’t want it: on Trump’s uneven response to a pandemic that has killed more than 205,000 people in the U.S. And for the short term, it’s grounded Trump under quarantine in a hospital, denying him the large public rallies that fuel his campaign just a month before the election. Biden and other Democratic ofﬁceholders wished Trump well in the wake of his diagnosis, although some could not help but admonish the Republican president, who openly ignored his own administration’s social safety recommendations for much of the year. “Going into crowds unmasked and all the rest was sort of a brazen invitation for this to happen,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on MSNBC. The White House reported Friday evening that Trump will spend “a few days” at a military hospital; the president’s doctor reported that Trump was “fatigued” and had been injected with an experimental antibody drug combination still in clinical trials. His campaign announced Friday afternoon that all of Trump’s scheduled campaign events were being moved online or temporarily postponed. Trump’s family, a steady presence on the campaign trail, was also grounded. Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel has tested positive for the virus as well. But Vice President Mike Pence, who has tested negative, will attend his campaign events as planned. Other world leaders, including Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, have contracted the virus and made full recoveries. But strategists in both parties acknowledged the timing is bad. Millions of Americans have already begun voting in several key states, and tens of millions more will receive absentee mail-in ballots or begin in-person early voting in the coming weeks. “Trump’s main advantages, including incumbency, have been removed. Rallies, his main vehicle for mobilizing his base, will no longer be possible. Fly-bys with Air Force One as a backdrop are gone,” said Republican strategist Rick Tyler, a frequent Trump critic. He said that Trump’s infection also “fundamentally undercuts his entire campaign strategy, which was to ignore the pandemic and make unsubstantiated claims that we’ve turned the corner and are making an economic comeback.” Biden, meanwhile, is not expected to alter his plans signiﬁcantly. Feud doing the actual show, Harvey is entertaining the audience. Both a comedian and inspirational speaker, Rhonda said he credits God for his success and his gift. Harvey, who was born in Welch, W.Va., made a huge impact on other family members, as well. David and Shannon said he was much more impressive in person, and are now fans. Lenny agreed, saying the whole experience was awesome, but especially Steve. A second question was one the family could not answer. The Tennants were vowed to secrecy on how they did on the show, and if they won any money, until after the episode airs. While on the set, Rhonda said the family got the “red carpet treatment.” A personal photographer accompanied them, snapping pictures behind the scenes, on the set, and during make-up touch ups. The family was sent all of the photos as a keepsake of their time. Next came “practice” auditioning, and after being told they were selected to be aired on the show, the Tennants took their places on stage. Taping was done in 10-minute intervals, and Rhonda recalled it was very hot under the lights. “Performing on stage as a contestant isn’t easy,” Rhonda said. “You’re pressed for time, you can’t always hear what other players have answered, and sometimes when the camera turns on you, your brain freezes.” Rhonda said once again, D.J. was the crowd pleaser. Loving to dance, he challenged a competing family member to a dance-off during a break. By the end of the taping, a warm-up comedian and an assistant producer had joined in to show off their skills. The family was originally set to appear on television much earlier, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its adverse effects on L.A., the date was postponed until now. “The thing that has impressed me most about this whole experience is the people here at home,” Rhonda said. “Everyone is so happy for us… genuinely happy.” © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. their hotel.

During the ceremony, Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) President Paul Reed explained that in 1995 the East Meigs Industrial Park was the ﬁrst project of the revitalized CIC. Reed explained that in 1995 the CIC was reorganized with a dream and vision, and $5,000 in savings. “It was the vision that made this happen,” said Reed, adding that there were three individuals who had a business sense, reputation in the area and the ability to cosign and back a loan to turn the dream into a reality. Those men, noted Reed, were the late Roscoe Mills and the late Horace Karr, along with Eugene Facemyer, who was in attendance on Friday.

Reed also expressed his appreciation to Meigs County Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe and assistant Brenda Roush for their work on behalf of the county and the CIC. State Representative Jay Edwards worked with local leaders in Meigs County and throughout Southeastern Ohio to reinstate funding for the Rural Industrial Park Program in the state budget. “This is a great project and a great day for Meigs County,” Edwards said in a news release. “Projects like this are an important part of keeping and creating jobs in our part of Ohio. This will contribute to our local economy for many years to come.” The building will have 25,911 square feet of production space with a 31 foot clear ceiling height at the center, with 2,455 square feet of ofﬁce/restroom space, on 4.8 acres. The structure will have 480V, 1200 AMP three phase electric service along with all other utilities. It also will be completely sprinkled, utilize LED lighting, and provide paved parking for 25.

Hotspots From page 1 for new or expanded hotspot lending programs, the initiative will support library systems in Athens, Harrison, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Meigs, Pike, Vinton, and other Appalachian Ohio counties with a total of 240 hotspots. Among these library systems is the Meigs County District Public Library, which will receive 40 hotspots through the partnership. “We know that lack of access to the internet is a barrier for so many people who call Meigs County home, and we are thrilled by the opportunity to establish a hotspot lending program,” said the Meigs County District Public Library Director, Kristi Eblin. FAO will also deploy Wi-Fi access points to school districts across the region based on the need for devices. As districts offer remote or hybrid learning, or prepare for the possibility of a return to remote learning, these access points will provide more options for students without reliable internet connections while also enhancing connectivity within school buildings. “Back-to-school looks different this year — parents, teachers, and students are facing a myriad of challenges, including many students needing access to reliable internet for distance learning,” said Dr. Adam Seldow, director, education partnerships at Facebook. “Facebook is committed to helping bridge the digital divide, and by collaborating with FAO to address some of the more immediate connectivity needs faced by the Appalachian community, we aim to create a positive impact for children and their families.” As part of this program, Facebook is donating access point technology and hotspots for schools and libraries across Appalachian Ohio and six months of unlimited data service on T-Mobile’s network for that technology. Through its EmpowerED program, T-Mobile will supply another six months of unlimited data service on their wireless network and customer support for the hotspots and access points. “Families in Appalachian Ohio face tremendous barriers due to lack of broadband access and infrastructure – preventing them from accessing equitable education and opportunities,” said Dr. Kiesha Taylor, national education administrator at T-Mobile. “T-Mobile believes in the power of connectivity and the potential it offers for ALL Americans – in communities big and small, urban and rural. We are proud to play a part in making an impact for communities throughout this region.” This I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund initiative builds upon recent I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund grants to fund community WIFI access points at schools and in communities throughout Appalachian Ohio and to develop a report to track the region’s progress in overcoming the digital divide. FAO’s emergency response to COVID-19 also included funding to increase digital connectivity. The I’m a Child of Appalachia Fund is dedicated to meeting the most pressing needs and pursuing the most promising opportunities for people and communities throughout the 32 counties of Appalachian Ohio. The Fund works across FAO’s ﬁve Pillars of Prosperity: Arts & Culture, Community & Economic Development, Education, Environmental Stewardship, and Health & Human Services.
