It helped heal some broken hearts for all of us but we’ll always remember the one we lost… The kids said this was one of their best Easters.” According to Gallia Sheriff’s Office reports, deputies responded to a call of an animal being shot the early morning OHIO VALLEY — The Gallia Health Department confirmed a fifth case of COVID-19 with a suspected sixth being probed on Sunday.

A statement on the Gallia Health Department’s Facebook page reads,” The Ohio Department of Health’s Coronavirus website is reporting Gallia County at 8 cases. Gallia County has 5 lab confirmed and 1 probable case.

Vote by mail deadline less than two weeks away 1st inmate dies as prisoner, staff infections top 260 By Sarah Hawley COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The coronavirus has killed its first Ohio prison inmate, Gov. Mike DeWine said as the number of infections in state prisons topped 260 according to data issued Monday afternoon. Twelve of 28 institutions are now under full quarantines, according to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The inmate at Pickaway Correctional Institution had a long-term chronic illness before dying, DeWine said. Among staff members, 119 have tested positive, the majority at Marion Correctional Institution, the prisons agency said. One Marion prison guard died of COVID-19. Inmate infections hit 146, with most of those at the Pickaway prison. DeWine ordered up to 30 members of the Ohio National Guard to assist at the Pickaway health center, with a dozen prison medical employees currently out sick with COVID-19. A quarantine “separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed, or potentially exposed, to a contagious disease to see if they become sick,” the prisons agency said. During the epidemic, the state is also limiting inmates to two meals a day, a hot brunch and an evening meal, to reduce movement in facilities and contact between individuals, The Lima News reported. The prison system also lowered commissary prices so inmates could afford more food.

DeWine has announced just over 200 inmates are being considered for early release, including pregnant prisoners and women with children with them behind bars. The American Civil Liberties Union on Monday called on DeWine to release thousands of inmates to minimize the spread of the virus. On Friday, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf authorized the early release of as many as 1,800 inmates. Kwanza Maxwell, of Columbus, said her father, David Watkins, is living in an open dorm situation at Noble Correctional Institution in southeastern Ohio, and eating side by side with other inmates. Watkins, 57, is a diabetic dependent on insulin, she said. Records show he’s due for release in 2027 on a drug trafficking charge. “He is not sentenced to death, therefore he does not deserve to die while serving his sentence,” Maxwell said during a news conference. The state continues to review the cases of inmates who could be released, DeWine said. In other developments: Cases To date, Ohio has confirmed nearly 6,900 cases and 274 deaths, according to the Department of Health.

WORKMAN Chris Rizer | Courtesy The Hartford Methodist Church, pictured, was built in 1856, not even two years after Hartford was founded by George Moredock. Church is ‘not just a building’ A story of history, faith By Chris Rizer Special to OVP As you all have probably noticed, I try to write an article on a historic building every so often. After all, their preservation is our Society’s primary mission. With this past Sunday being Easter, I thought I’d write on a church near to my heart. Five generations of my family have worshipped here, though our congregation numbers only seven at Sunday service. It’s just Pastor Rex and Janet, John and Bonnie, Tim and Susie, and me. A small congregation, to be sure, but our doors are always open! (At least, they will be once this current pandemic is over!) The Hartford (West Virginia) Methodist Church was built in 1856, not even two years after Hartford was founded by George Moredock. This was the second church in town, after the Welsh Baptists, which had built a church on Hartford Hill the year before. The United Brethren organized in 1857 and met in the schoolhouse until 1874, when they built the church today known as Father’s House. Finally, the American Baptists organized in 1861 and met with the Welsh Bap- SHINN LEON — Mrs. Helen Mae “Dolly” Shinn, 95, of Leon, W.Va., died Saturday, April 11, 2020.

Services certainly weren’t held that Sunday! That same flood destroyed the church’s organ, said to be the first on our side of the Bend, and prompted the congregation to see about raising the building out of reach of the floodwaters. The congregation spent the next ten years gathering the funds, and in 1895, the whole building was raised about 10 feet off the ground, placed on a new cast-stone foundation, and rededicated. Unfortunately, this was not enough to escape the even higher 1913 and 1937 floods, but fortunately the church survived those without much damage. The church also closed, as it has today, during the 1892 smallpox outbreak and 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic to protect the congregation. Like those, this pandemic will pass. And like our ancestors over a century ago, I look forward to once again worshipping with our small church family. In the meantime, though, the Church is not just a building.

Alpaca From page 1A of April 7. Reportedly, a pickup had stopped along Gauge Road near Patriot where an individual next shot one of two alpacas belonging to the Blazer family, specifically the Blazers’ daughter, Josie, 5. The animal was reportedly found by the property owners right outside its stall. Deputies followed the case to three juvenile males who allegedly shot the Blazer alpaca with a .223 rifle round. The case has been sent to the Gallia Prosecutor’s Office for review. The Blazer alpacas had been given as a gift to Josie in June 2019 after she had finished a round of chemo treatments. The new alpaca, named Chewpacca before being gifted to Josie and her mother Becky, her father James and brother Cooper, 7, was given to the family compliments of efforts by Angie Dahse and the team of Four Seasons Veterinary Clinic, Grundy Hills Farm and delivered with the help of the Gallia Sheriff’s Office. Deputies and Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin picked up the animal from the clinic before riding towards the Blazer residence, lights flashing, as the family waited outside to the surprise of the children after they had finished their earlier Easter celebrations. Vote The Blazers gather around the new alpaca. From left to right in the back row are Deputy Jordan Shaffer, Deputy Justin Sizemore, Deputy Seth Argabright and Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin. Josie Blazer stands in front with her new alpaca, originally named Chewpacca. The alpaca was introduced to Josie’s hugs, straight out of the back of the cab of a sheriff’s office pickup truck. The animal had traveled quietly, nestled along the truck’s floorboards with a bow looped through its bridle. “It’s very unfortunate that a senseless act of violence such as this occurred and it hurt the heart of our deputies who worked on and investigated this case,” said Champlin. “However, we’re very thankful for the community support that we received that made it possible to find another animal for this little girl and provide it on Easter Sunday and brighten her day in light of the tragedy that occurred.” Becky also thanked Patriotic Builders for their assistance in burying the deceased alpaca.

DeWine said nursing homes, which currently account for about 5% of all cases, will now be required to notify all residents and family members of a positive test within 24 hours.

Larson used a racial slur on a live stream Sunday during a virtual race — the second driver in a week to draw scrutiny while using the online racing platform to fill time during the coronavirus pandemic. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR star Kyle Larson was suspended without pay by Chip Ganassi Racing on Monday for using a racial slur on a live stream during a virtual race. Larson was competing in an iRacing event Sunday night when he appeared to lose communication on his headset with his spotter. During a check of his microphone, he said, “You can’t hear me?” That was followed by the N-word. “We are extremely disappointed by what Kyle said last night during an iRacing Event. The words that he chose to use are offensive and unacceptable,” Chip Ganassi Racing said. “As of this moment we are suspending Kyle without pay while we work through this situation with all appropriate parties.” Larson is half Japanese — his grandparents spent time in an interment camp in California during World War II — and he climbed from shorttrack racing into NASCAR through its “Drive for Diversity” program. He is the only driver of Japanese descent to win a major NASCAR race. “NASCAR is aware of insensitive language used by a driver during an iRacing event on Sunday, and is currently gathering more information,” NASCAR said. Larson had no immediate comment Monday. NASCAR in 2013 suspended Xfinity Series driver Jeremy Clements for using the same word Larson used while Clements was speaking to a reporter. Clements was re-instated after completing a sensitivity training course and still competes. Larson is the second driver in a week to draw scrutiny while using the online racing platform to fill time during the coronavirus pandemic. Bubba Wallace one week earlier “rage quit” an official NASCAR iRacing event televised live nationally and his sponsor fired him immediately. Wallace had been wrecked, and, fed up, quit the game and admitted it was out of anger on Twitter.

Turkish runner Gamze Bulut, for example, will now have plenty of time to qualify for a games she likely would have missed had they gone ahead as scheduled. “It doesn’t seem like a fair punishment,” Irish race walker Brendan Boyce told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “They haven’t really missed the events they were supposed to miss.” The 2020 Olympics were officially postponed last month for one year, with the opening ceremony now set for July 23, 2021. Bulut originally won silver in the 1,500 meters at the 2012 London Olympics but was stripped of her medal because of irregularities in her biological passport, which monitors an athlete’s blood profile. She was given a four-year ban that began in 2016 and expires on May 29 — giving her an unexpected full year to qualify for Tokyo. “I’m trying my best to (attend) the Olympics,” the 27-year-old runner said. “I hope I can join.” The Athletics Integrity Unit estimates that about 40 of the 200 or so banned track and field athletes who stand to gain from the Olympic postponement are international-level competitors. The AIU maintains a global list of track athletes banned for doping violations. More than 11,000 athletes are expected to compete in 33 sports in Tokyo, with about 2,000 of them in track and field. Boyce, a two-time Olympian who has qualified for Tokyo, said restrictions on the number of competitors could make it harder for clean athletes to earn places. “I wouldn’t be too happy now if I lost an Olympic spot because of an anomaly like what’s going on at the minute,” Boyce said. The Irishman protested on social media but stopped short of filing any formal complaints. British long-distance runner and Tokyo hopeful Lily Partridge agreed. “I don’t believe in second chances with regards to serious doping offenses unless you provide serious assistance to anti-doping authorities and even then I don’t believe you should have the privilege of being able to compete and earn money from the sport,” Partridge told the AP. However, World Anti-Doping Agency President Witold Banka said the unforeseen health crisis doesn’t mean authorities can “cherry-pick” when athletes have completed their bans. “While an athlete cannot choose when he or she would like to be ineligible, an (anti-doping organization) cannot either,” Banka said. “This is entirely consistent with principles of natural justice and other areas of the law as it relates to sports or even criminal activity. When an offender has done the time, the sentence is considered to be served.” Sebastian Coe, the Olympic great who is now president of World Athletics, was less definitive in comments shortly after the games were postponed. “This is something we will need to look at,” Coe said. “I know it’s something the Athletics Integrity Unit, and I’m sure all the other agencies out there in concert with our sports, will need to think about, and that will just be another issue in an overflowing inbox at the moment.” Athletes who have already qualified for Tokyo have been assured that they’ll keep their spots as future qualification decisions unfold.

Phillip | AP Tiger Woods reacts as he wins the Masters golf tournament on April 14, 2019, in Augusta, Ga. Tiger’s last Masters about family as much as jacket By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Tiger Woods walked off the 18th green as a Masters champion for the fifth time, a major champion for the 15th time, and the sensation was unlike anything he had ever felt. More memorable than any shot — the 8-iron that trickled by the hole at the 16th was the decisive blow — was the purposeful stride toward his son, grabbing Charlie with both arms, lifting the boy and turning from side to side. His mother was next. His daughter. His loyal support staff. And then a lineup of players outside the clubhouse, some of them in green jackets. They had been upstairs in the locker room reserved for champions, yet they shared a feeling with the entire golf world. Memories gave way to reality. “That’s going to be in people’s minds forever,” Rickie Fowler said last month, just two days before the Masters was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Was it his biggest win? It would be hard to rate that over his first Masters title in 1997, a “hello, world” moment not tied to advertising. Woods set 20 records that signaled the arrival of a brand of dominance never seen in golf. The most historical? His 2001 victory at Augusta gave him a sweep of the four majors in a span of 294 days. He stands alone there. This was no less significant because of what it meant — to Woods, to his sport, to peers who grew up idolizing him and to a worldwide audience that had reason to believe it might never happen again. “I had just an amazing amount of emails and texts that were flowing in,” Woods said in a conference call leading up to the Masters. “But I was more surprised by the amount of videos of people watching the Masters and seeing their reaction when I hit the shot on 16 or when I made the putt, whether it was on airplanes or in airports or restaurants. “The amount of emotion that people were showing, that’s what blew my mind.” That’s what made this Masters different from his other four, this major different from the other 14. Adam Scott doesn’t usually stick around when he’s finished with a major. One exception was in 2006 after the U.S. Open at Winged Foot when he was headed for the airport and turned around when close friend Geoff Ogilvy emerged the winner. He finished Sunday at Augusta National about the time all hell broke loose at Amen Corner. “You got a sense, as he was kind of taking the lead on the back nine, that something special could be happening,” Scott said. “There was a lot of guys watching in the champion’s locker room and I stayed and watched. You don’t often get that group of people together very often. You just had that sense it’s a significant moment in the sport again.” Gary Woodland wasn’t about to miss it. “I don’t usually watch much golf,” he said. “I had my family there. I was flying out Sunday afternoon. I played early that day, and we pushed the flight back. I wanted to watch that.” The only mystery is where it leads. Woods was never the same the rest of the major season. He played nine holes of practice at Bethpage Black and missed the cut in the PGA Championship. He was never a factor at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, site of his 15-shot victory, as untouchable as any of his records. He missed the cut at the British Open. Woods had another knee surgery to repair minor cartilage damage. And then he won again, this time in Japan, to tie the PGA Tour’s victory record with No. 82. In only two starts this year, in chilly California weather, he didn’t look like the Masters champion. His back felt stiff and he skipped three tournaments he ordinarily plays. And now golf is shut down, which Woods said has given him time for his 44-year-old body to feel stronger. He had caddie Joe LaCava come down a month after the Masters to watch the final round together. Woods has watched that Masters plenty of times, and he taped a segment with Jim Nantz for perspective unlike any other for CBS to show it again Sunday to fill the void of not having the Masters this April. Each time Woods won a major — even the first of his 15 — it was one major closer to the 18 won by Jack Nicklaus. This one was different. This was more about satisfaction and redemption than a thirst for more. Woods said his kids once looked at him as the “YouTube” golfer because they never saw him at his best. They were at Carnoustie in the summer of 2018 when he had the lead briefly in the final round of the British Open. They were with him at Augusta National, and that meant as much as the green jacket he wore — the jacket, he said, they fought over who could wear it on the See TIGER | 2B �SPORTS 2B Tuesday, April 14, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Oklahoma City loses NCAA softball WCWS OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Last spring, Brandon Baker seized a rare chance to break out his rain playlist in front of nearly 10,000 people. Storms near USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium had knocked out the right field lights during the May 31 evening session of the Women’s College World Series that set an alltime attendance record for the annual event. Baker, who was running the audio board that night, plugged the system into a battery backup. As fans turned on their cell phone flashlights during the delay, Baker played “Lights Shine Bright” by TobyMac featuring Hollyn. And when the lights came back on, Baker’s fitting song choice was “The Power,” a 1990 hit by Snap! Baker won’t get to energize the crowd this year. The pandemic has virtually shut down sports, including NCAA championships like the WCWS and the College World Series. Economies have been hard hit and The Associated Press is examining the ripple effects of losing a showcase event in smaller cities and communities like Oklahoma City, which boasts a pro team in the NBA’s Thunder. Volunteers and vendors aren’t needed. Family traditions will be paused. The annual boost the economy receives in late May and early June won’t come. The timing was especially unfortunate. Everything was in place for a grand softball celebration. Oklahoma City was set to host for the 30th time. A stadium expansion added 4,000 permanent seats to bring capacity at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium to about 13,000, and city officials said all the new seats were sold out. JJ Kuhn, operating partner of Yucatan Taco Stand in the Bricktown section of downtown Oklahoma City, said sporting events such as the WCWS and the NBA playoffs have been a way the city shows itself to the world. “Sports is one of those ways that we have been able to progress,” Kuhn said. “We like to think of ourselves as a big-league city now, and that’s the mechanism that we’ve used to do that. Obviously, college sports in Oklahoma — we love that. It’s our bread and butter. Having those national events where we can present ourselves — to have those missing, it’s going to hurt.” With softball set to return to the Olympics for the first time since 2008, Oklahoma City was primed to take advantage of the extra attention on the sport. Now the Tokyo Olympics are pushed back a year, to 2021, and Cress is dealing with “a moving target.” “We were ready to open with all the bells and whistles,” said Craig Cress, executive director of USA Softball. “The large things are definitely there. The seats are there. We were on schedule to be full blown and have a great series.” Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt said in the end, it’s about public safety. “We greatly prize this event for its economic impact and we love the brand, and we’re very proud to be the home of the women’s softball College World Series,” Holt said. “But there’s no question this was ultimately the right thing to do.” The Women’s College World Series has been hosted in Oklahoma City every year except one since 1990. Gina Janzen, who has attended over the years with her daughter, Kylie, won’t get that chance this year. Kylie signed to play Division II softball for Oklahoma Christian in February, in part because the players she watched while growing up motivated her. “It’s such a huge loss,” Gina Janzen said. “You mourn it a little, but you also understand the gravity of what’s going on in the world and why you can’t have these things.” The Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau estimated the city pulled in $14.4 million from the WCWS last year. This year’s projection ranged between $23.6 million and $27 million. Sue Hollenbeck, director of sports busi- ness for the bureau, said the Bricktown neightborhood will take the biggest hit without fans coming for the championship over the better part of a week. “They’d eat at all the restaurants, go to the bars, get on the water taxi, do the shopping” she said. “Anything and everything they could do, they would do when they weren’t at the stadium.” David Southard, owner of Jazmo’z Bourbon Street Cafe, said his Bricktown restaurant with 70 employees is closed. He said the WCWS has been good for business for the past 20 years but it won’t be part of his plans to reopen this spring. “It brings a lot of people in from all over the country,” said. “The hotels are full. Often, we get reservations for large groups, two hours before they come, and it’s 20 people.” Oklahoma City has come through challenges before, including the deadly bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995. Holt said the city went all out in 1996 to make sure events were special. “People who were around back then will tell you that the return events were some of the favorites of the whole history,” Holt said. “There’s just a higher level of joy than ever when they come back. So we have that to look forward to next year.” AP SPORTS BRIEFS ESPN, NFL Network will combine for draft telecast NEW YORK — ESPN and NFL Network will join forces for this year’s NFL draft.

(4:25) Armageddon 7 PM (:35) Minnesota Duluth star Scott Perunovich wins Hobey Baker MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Duluth defenseman Scott Perunovich won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award on Saturday night as college hockey’s top player, becoming the Bulldogs’ record sixth recipient. Perunovich, a junior from Hibbing, Minnesota, who recently signed with the St. Louis Blues, edged North Dakota forward Jordan Kawaguchi and Maine goalie Jeremy Swayman for the award announced on ESPN. “I’m extremely honored and humbled,” Perunovich said. “Five other Bulldogs have won this prestigious award, so it is just a privilege to join them.” Perunovich joined Tom Kurvers (1984). Bill Watson (1985), Chris Marinucci (1994), Junior Lessard (2004) and Jack Connolly (2012) in the Bulldogs’ Hobey Baker club. Perunovich was second in the nation with 34 assists and had six goals in 34 games, becoming the first defenseman to lead the National Collegiate Hockey Association in scoring. He was drafted by the Blues in the second round in 2018. “He is a difference-maker, that’s for sure,” Bulldogs coach Scott Sandelin said. “He’s the type of impact player who can take control of a game. He’s had a tremendous season —- and a tremendous three-year career here — and is certainly deserving of this award.” The season was canceled March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The award announcement was originally set for Friday night on the eve of the NCAA championship game in Detroit, where Perunovich and the Bulldogs hoped to play for a third straight title. The undrafted Kawaguchi had 15 goals and 30 assists in 33 games. He’s returning to North Dakota for his senior season Swayman was 18-11-5 with a 2.07 goals-against average and .939 save percentage. He recently signed with the Boston Bruins. The award is named in honor of Baker, the former Princeton hockey and football star who was World War I fighter pilot. He was killed in a plane crash in France after he was scheduled to return home. Larson From page 1B with him for real, replied to the tweet firing Wallace. Larson was parked during the race Wallace quit a week earlier by iRacing officials for intentionally wrecking another driver. Larson, in his seventh full season racing at NASCAR’s top Cup level, is in the final year of his contract with Chip Ganassi Racing. He was at the top of the list of a crowded free agent field when the circuit was suspended four races into the season as sports stopped during the coronavirus crisis. NASCAR quickly pivoted to create an iRacing league of virtual racing that has engaged viewers and set records for esports television viewership. One of the draws of the platform is that drivers can link into one another on a live stream, where they banter, argue, make jokes and discuss the racing. Fans can eavesdrop through the gaming app Twitch. Larson used the slur during a Sunday night race for fun against drivers from various series. The event was not part of NASCAR’s official series. Drivers in the chat immediately reacted to Larson’s use of the slur, with one instantly alerting him, “Kyle, you’re talking to everyone, bud.” Others were in disbelief. Larson has six career Cup wins and finished a career-best sixth in the standings last season. He is 27 and the married father of two young children. Among his sponsors at Ganassi are McDonalds and Credit One Bank. He is considered one of the top sprint car racers in the country and in January finally won the prestigious Chili Bowl after 13 attempts. He was criticized by NASCAR fans after the Chili Bowl win for calling it the biggest of his career — just weeks before the seasonopening Daytona 500, where he is 0-for-7. “I’m sorry NASCAR, I’m sorry Daytona, but this is the biggest (expletive) race I’ve ever won,” Larson said after exiting his winning Chili Bowl car. “I hope to win Daytona in a few weeks but this is bad (expletive).” Larson later apologized for downplaying the significance of his NASCAR wins. His victories in Cup have come at California, Dover, Michigan (three victories), and Richmond. He won NASCAR’s nonpoints All-Star race last season.

Thomas Bach spoke in an interview with German newspaper Die Welt on Sunday. Estimates in Japan put the overall cost of the postponement at $2 billion-$6 billion. Except for the IOC portion, all added costs will be borne by the Japanese side according to an agreement signed in 2013 when Tokyo was awarded the Olympics. Bach said it was “impossible to say for now” the extent of the added costs for the IOC caused by the coronavirus pandemic. “We agreed with the prime minister that Japan will continue to cover the costs it would have done under the terms of the existing agreement for 2020, and the IOC will continue to be responsible for its share of the costs,” Bach said. “For us, the IOC, it is already clear that we shall be faced with several hundred million dollars of additional costs.” 40 years later, vote to skip Moscow Games still ‘horrible’ DENVER (AP) — By the time the news filtered to him, Edwin Moses had already left a promising engineering job to focus on a full-time career on the track.
