Mike DeWine said Thursday. Social distancing, the cleaning of surfaces, frequent hand-washing and mask wearing must continue, he said. DeWine said he understands the importance of getting the economy moving again, but Ohio must be careful to avoid problems such as future COVID19 spikes after society has reopened. The state will keep a close eye on supplies of personal protective equipment like gowns, masks and face shields, and also on testing, the governor said. “If we don’t do it right, the consequences are horrendous,” DeWine said. A look at other coronavirus-related developments Thursday in Ohio: Economy The state reported 158,678 unemployment compensation claims for the week ending April 11 for a total of 855,197 over the past four weeks. That is significantly above the combined 715,512 claims filed in the previous two years, according to the human services agency. The state has paid a record $227 million to more than 271,000 individuals who filed for unemployment in the past four weeks. Nationally, a record 22 million people have sought jobless benefits, including 5.2 million new claims reported Thursday. Hospitals The percentage of beds available in Ohio hospitals is unchanged since before the coronavirus pandemic began, and so far facilities set aside to take extra patients are going unused, hospital officials said. The cancellation of elective surgeries, Ohio’s stay-at-home order and adherence to social distancing practices have allowed hospital systems in the state to avoid the surges in coronavirus patients that have overwhelmed hospitals in other states, officials said. Ohio hospital bed use in the last four weeks has remained steady at between 50% and 60%, which is the average in normal times, said John Palmer, a spokesman for the Ohio Hospital Association. In Cleveland, just over half of University Hospitals’ 1,800 beds were occupied earlier this week, with 58% of intensive care beds in use, said Dr. William Brien, the system’s chief medical officer and chief quality officer. Officials planned for a surge in coronavirus cases of as much as 300% of the system’s bed capacity, he said. Brien said he is cautiously optimistic as COVID-19 infections in the state appear to have plateaued. Hospital systems throughout Ohio made plans together to create hospital capacity in facilities such as convention centers and university field houses that have not been needed thus far. In Cleveland, University Hospitals, the Cleveland Clinic and MetroHealth Medical Center worked closely together in anticipation of a surge in coronavirus cases, Brien said. “We were prepared, and maybe had a little luck going for us, too,” Brien said. The COVID-19 threat will not completely dissipate until the vast majority of the population becomes immune, which is known as herd protection, or an effective vaccine becomes available, Brien said. DeWine made the same point earlier this week. Cases To date, Ohio has confirmed more than 8,400 cases and 389 deaths, according to new federal guidelines that allow cases and deaths considered “probable” COVID-19 infections without a positive test.

Dean Wright | OVP Gallia Commissioners voiced approval that Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin should continue efforts to move the Gallia Vehicle Impound Lot from Cheshire to Shawnee Lane near Gallipolis. County considers moving impound lot By Dean Wright deanwright@aimmediamidwest. com GALLIPOLIS — Gallia Commissioners and Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin discussed liquidating the value of vehicles at the county’s impound lot in Cheshire and moving the lot to county property on Shawnee Lane near the Gallia Canine Shelter Thursday during the commissioners’ regular weekly meeting in the Gallia Courthouse. “Our impound lot is currently housed up at the former work release center up in Cheshire,” said Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin. “We’ve inven- toried and catalogued every car up there. We’ve got about 70 cars. Of those 70 cars, there are about 60 of those I would consider viable for sale. A lot of those are deteriorated and have sit there for numerous years and are not in good condition. Some we have tried to sell on (govdeals.com) in the past and they’ve not sold.

Our stay-at-home situation has disrupted many people’s daily routines, causing their over encumbered schedules to seemingly bottom out. This has left people stranded on the desert islands of their homes as they toss out their social media bottles with messages in ongoing attempts to stay connected with the outside world. Vacuums will be filled… with something. As we may not know how to spend all the time we suddenly find at our disposal, boredom sets in and fear seeps in… like a slow poison to the soul. I personally think that these two facts have much to do with how we have lost our way with those things that matter most to us and the work it takes to nurture those things. For example, we speak more often than we think. I probably don’t need to try to prove that to anyone since our social media accounts are saturated with explosive demonstrations of ignorance. Time suddenly at our disposal can be used to allow us to begin the process of thinking once again. That is to say, that we learn to our world’s churnlisten carefully and ing circumstances. consider what we Are you finding a hear (or read) with lot of down time an analytic mind, right now?

How much of what we had planned before the COVID-19 shutdown was doing what we wanted to do for ourselves? Our vacations? Our shopping trips? Our daily indulgences in whatever pleases us most? Happily, I know that not everything falls into that category, but much of what we lost probably had to do with what we wanted for ourselves. Well, here we have time now to make a difference in other people’s lives. Stripped away are the excuses of how we are too busy to do those things. Why not call someone who is lonely? Why not drop a card in the mail? With sterilized hands, of course. Why not Facetime someone who is feeling lost, alone, or forgotten? You’ve got the time. Now take the time to use it well.

Ohio Valley Publishing OBITUARIES JOHN WILLIAM GALLOWAY John William Galloway was born in Bellaire, August 28, 1940 and was the only child of William Donald and Helen Margaret McGraw Galloway. From that day forward, he was the pride and joy of their lives. They lived in Bellaire until John was 14, then moved to Gallipolis where in 1958, he graduated from Gallia Academy High School. Through these years, he nurtured his love for Corvettes, speed and street racing. He then enrolled at Ohio University Athens and, in 1962, he graduated. Shortly thereafter he married Mary Ann Prindle. He initially worked for Marietta Manufacturing Co. in Point Pleasant. While there, he was a part of manufacturing two Oceanographic ships, which he accompanied to Mobile, Ala. for their sea trials. In 1964, he found employment at the Ashland Works of Armco Steel Corp. There, he worked on many projects, including the building of the B0 Shop and the #3 coating line. In 1977 he developed and patented, under Armco’s name, Patent #4007750, the Continuous Sheet Pickling Apparatus. He retired from AK Steel in 1990. He was an Eagle Scout, Order of the Arrow (Ordeal) and continued his interest in Scouting in his adult life as a merit badge counselor, Assistant Scout Master for South Point Troop 115 and was Committee Chairperson for the troop. He also served on district committees. Whenever the opportunity presented itself to support Scouting, he was ready to help in any way he could. He was a community supporter being involved in The TriState Fair and Regatta boat races and festivals. He supported local youth athletic programs, academic scholarships and Soap Box Derby races. He especially enjoyed and supported the Lawrence County 4-H program. He was a member of the United Methodist Church, serving in leadership in several local Ohio UM congregations. These leadership roles included Ad Council Board member and Chair, Scout Representative, usher, and Building Chair for the South Point UMC. He was a Christian. In 1990, John and his two sons organized Big G, Inc., beginning busi- ness as Pickett Concrete. Along the way, the three of them grew the concrete business from one plant to three, multiple concrete trucks and over the road material haulers. They also began doing business as Concrete Poured Walls and Premier Precast Products, with 45 employees. John was a Past Chairman and Trustee for the Ohio Concrete Association, a member of the Greater Lawrence Area County Chamber of Commerce, and was a member and Trustee for the Lawrence Economic Development Corp. He also served on the Ohio University Southern Board of Directors. John went home to His Lord April 9, 2020 at St. Mary’s Medical Center. He was preceded in death by his parents, youngest son Todd, his in-laws, Martha and Bill Prindle, and brother-in-law Jerry Kirk. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, MaryAnn Prindle Galloway, one son, James W. Galloway and wife, Beth, and his daughterin-law, Jennifer Reed Galloway.

Mercy is not receiving what we deserve. The atrocious sins committed by mankind on mankind deserve stern Heavenly retribution. But, God is extending mercy. He is having mercy on us. Otherwise, there would be no hope. I see from and about God assurance— -assurance that He is in control. Assurance that dispels fear. Assurance that quiets panic. Assurance that He is going to administer a peaceful resolution. Assurance from Him looks good. I am one among many that advocates confession and repentance during these dangerous days. The people of the church must envision God at work. The people of the church must be compelled to give this interpretation. The people of the church must lead the way in praying to God for deliverance, because most people will merely pooh-pooh the consideration of it. It is not to be defeatist or negative, but it is a matter of being alert to recognize God when He wants to get our spiritual attention.

The PGA Tour and The Greenbrier resort announced Thursday that A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier, scheduled for Sept. 10-13, has been canceled to make room for other tournaments called off due to the virus. Both parties also announced that the remaining years of the tournament’s contract through 2026 have been canceled. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The PGA Tour has scrapped its contract to hold annual golf tournaments at a resort owned by billionaire West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice after turnout lagged and federal prosecutors eyed the lavish retreat. The Greenbrier resort issued a statement Thursday saying it came to an agreement with the Tour to cancel this year’s tournament because of the coronavirus pandemic and to cancel future golf contests that were scheduled at the resort through 2026. The yearly tournament, A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier, has struggled to draw fanfare after moving from summer to fall. Last year, atten- dance dragged as the matches went up against college football home games, even as one of Justice’s family mining companies bought 30,000 tickets to give away to fans. “We are happy to reach a resolution with the PGA Tour that is mutually beneficial to both parties in this time of crisis,” said Jill Justice, the governor’s daughter and president of The Greenbrier. Justice, with a net worth of $1.2 billion spread through a wide portfolio of coal and agricultural businesses, brought the resort out of bankruptcy in 2009 and the golf tournament debuted a year later. He is considered to be West Virginia’s richest man. The Greenbrier came under the scrutiny of federal prosecutors in a public corruption unit who sent three subpoenas to the governor’s administration last year for documents about the resort, the tournament, the tournament’s nonprofit financial arm and Justice’s tax records. The governor’s personal lawyer, George Terwilliger, a U.S. Department of Justice veteran who previously served as acting attorney general, told reporters at a January press conference that the investigation ended with no finding of wrongdoing. West Virginia previously sponsored The Greenbrier’s See PGA | 9 Manfred ‘to turn over every stone’ for season NEW YORK (AP) — Rob Manfred wants Major League Baseball to be in position to take the field whenever government and health officials give the go-ahead. “I think it’s incumbent upon us to turn over every stone to try to play the game in 2020 if there’s any way we can in the environment,” the baseball commissioner said Wednesday during an interview with The Associated Press. Spring training was suspended March 12 because of the new coronavirus pandemic and the season’s scheduled start on March 26 delayed. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended all gatherings of 50 people or more be put off through mid-May. Among the plans baseball is investigating is basing all 30 teams in the Phoenix area and using the 10 spring training ballparks there, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Chase Field and possibly college facilities. Games would be played in empty stadiums; players, staff and broadcast crews and technicians would be kept in controlled environments, such as ballparks, hotels and MLB-arranged transport. “We have tried to be cautious about trying to go too soon, based on what the public health situation is,” Manfred said during a telephone interview from his home in Jupiter, Florida. “For people to be out there saying we’re not going to have any sports in 2020, I think that’s going the other way. I think we all need, no matter what your predilection is, to wait for the situation to unfold more, give us more information and then make realistic decisions about what’s possible.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, endorsed a plan along the lines of the Arizona option during an interview Wednesday with Snapchat. “Nobody comes to the stadium. Put them in big hotels, wherever you want to play. Keep them very well surveilled,” Fauci said. “Have them tested every single week and make sure they don’t wind up infecting each other or their family, and just let them play the season out.” Arizona’s advantages include numerous hotels, including at least eight in the Phoenix area with 425 rooms or more. About 3,000 people likely would need to be tested regularly, including players, club staff, umpires and the broadcast contingent. There is no deadline for a decision, and if the health situation dictates baseball could even start in the fall and take advantage of warm weather in the Phoenix area. “The threshold question is the health question, and that’s where we’re spending the most time,” Manfred said. In addition to the CDC guideline, many state and local governments have banned public events. MLB will wait to decide its course because the biggest issues are medical, not logistical or economic. “The ones that are the most worrisome are the ones that are beyond our control,” Manfred said. “Right now most of the places where we would play would not be allowable under the regulations that are currently in place, so obviously, those are the ones that concern me the most. How long do those go on?” MLB and the players’ association reached an agreement in which the teams are advancing $170 million of $4 billion in salaries through May 24 in exchange for players giving up claims to the remainder of their salaries and receiving full service time if the season is scrapped. Manfred said about 40% of operating revenue derives from gate and gate-related areas, such as luxury suite rentals, concessions, parking, signage, and program sales and advertising.

Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. Officials: No football before campuses open By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press The commissioners of the nation’s major college football conferences held a 30-minute conference call Wednesday with Vice President Mike Pence and stressed that college sports cannot return from the coronavirus shutdown until campuses have reopened. The 10 commissioners, along with the athletic director of Notre Dame, comprise the College Football Playoff management committee. “We were able to talk about the differences between us and professional sports,” American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco said. “We talked about how academics and college athletics were inseparable.” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Pence asked good questions and was “hopeful and optimistic” about the fight against the coronavirus. The pandemic has shut down all major sporting events since mid-March and forced colleges to close campuses and move classes online. The White House has said it is important to reopen the U.S. economy, though the details on how that will happen will be complicated and likely involve local, state and federal guidelines on safety. President Donald Trump has also been engaged with professional sports leagues with the multibillion-dollar sports industry on hold. The college football season is scheduled to begin Labor Day weekend, but many questions remain to be answered for a sport that is the lifeblood for many athletic departments. “(We) made the point we were concerned and wanted to get back to having kids attending college and opening up our colleges and universities,” Bowlsby said. “That until that happened we weren’t going to be having any sports.” The commissioners would like major college football to start at the same time all over the country, which could be difficult depending on how the pandemic fades. “We talked a little about whether there would be a national policy because, obviously, if governors have different policies you’re going to have some issues,” Aresco said. “If California isn’t allowing football and Ohio is that’s going to be issue for what is obviously a national enterprise.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the United State’s top infectious disease expert, said in a Snapchat interview it is unlikely sporting events can happen this summer with large crowds in attendance. Bowlsby said another call with the vice president was likely in about a month. College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock, who was also on the call, said the Jan. 1 semifinals in New Orleans and Pasadena, California, and the Jan. 11 championship game in Miami are still on. “I was glad to know that the vice president understands how important college football is,” Hancock said. The size of the season is daunting, with more than 1,500 regularseason games for 130 schools in the Bowl Subdivision alone, the NCAA’s highest level of football. Each team plays 12 regular-season games and each conference plays a lucrative championship game. Division I colleges, including about 120 that either play in football’s second-tier or not at all, have already taken a financial hit with the cancellation of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in March. Some $375 million will not be distributed to them this year. Not playing a football season could be even more costly. That would put television contracts that pay out hundreds of millions to the so-called Power Five conferences at risk. The other five FBS conferences make far less from TV rights, but their schools still rely heavily on football revenue. The College Football Playoff, including the major bowl games known as the New Year’s Six pay out about $674 million per season. Most of that gets paid to conferences and passed along to member schools. Browns return to past, unveil classic uniforms CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns will look better next season. There’s still no guarantees how they’ll play or when. With a salute to their storied past, the Browns unveiled new uniforms Wednesday to replace old ones that had grown stale and become symbolic with losing. The “new” jerseys and pants were inspired by Cleveland’s championship teams following the team’s birth in the All-America Football Conference in the 1940s and NFL title squads from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The updated look is also a nod to the Browns’ memorable runs in the late 1980s, when they came close to making their first Super Bowl. “We wanted to get back to the roots of who the Browns are,” executive vice president and owner JW Johnson said. “We’ve heard it from our fans See BROWNS | 9 �COMICS 8 Friday, April 17, 2020 BLONDIE Ohio Valley Publishing By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO Hank Ketcham’s �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � see what’s brewing on the job market.

The most recently available tax records for the nonprofit that operates the tournament show it with a $17.5 million debt in 2018. The cancellations come as the PGA Tour reorganizes its schedule to adjust during the pandemic. The Tour on Thursday also canceled the RBC Canadian Open, scheduled for June in Toronto, after it previously canceled the British Open for the first time since 1945 and pushed back other dates. The tournament had its exciting moments. Two of the 11 sub-60 rounds in PGA Tour history were shot at The Greenbrier. Stuart Appleby shot 59 in the final round to win the inaugural tournament in 2010 by one stroke, and Kevin Chappell shot 59 in last year’s second round. Andy Pazder, the PGA Tour’s executive vice president and chief of operations who is a 1988 graduate of West Virginia University, said The Greenbrier has been “a great partner.” “We obviously needed to make some schedule adjustments late in the season or in the fall part of our new season, and in doing that it just caused us to reach an agreement with Greenbrier to remove them from the schedule,” he said. modified with the removal of stripes on the jerseys and pants. “Our uniforms have always From page 7 been iconic.

You may have seen a copy of a book called Ripley’s Believe It or Not at school or in the library. It is a book filled with examples of things that seem impossible but are really true. It was even on television as a weekly show for a while. Well, something almost impossible to believe (or so he first thought) happened to one of Jesus’ God’s disciples named Thomas. Kids It was the Sunday after Jesus was cruciKorner fied (Easter Sunday), and His disciples were Ann Moody together in a locked room in a local house. They were hiding there because they were afraid that Jesus’ enemies would hurt them too. The Bible tells us that, even though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood there with His disciples. As you can imagine, the disciples were very, very happy to see Him. After all, they thought He was dead. One of the disciples, whose name was Thomas, was not there with the others when Jesus appeared to them. We don’t know why Thomas wasn’t there, but when the other disciples saw Thomas, they told him that they had seen Jesus, and Jesus was alive. Thomas didn’t believe them. In fact, he said, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe it.” (John 20: 24-25) A week later, the disciples were in that room again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were still locked, but the very same thing happened: all of a sudden, Jesus was there standing in the room with them. Jesus turned to Thomas and said, “See My hands; put your fingers here. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.” (John 20: 27) But Thomas didn’t need to touch the wounds. He fell to his knees before Jesus and said, “My Lord and my God! Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen Me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” (John 20: 28-29) A lot of people still won’t believe that Jesus really rose from the grave and helps us even today because they haven’t seen Him with their own two eyes. Do you know what though? It is true whether they believe it or not! We have to accept Him by faith. Faith is believing in something even though you can’t see or touch it. That is sometimes hard, but if we ask Jesus to help us believe, He will. We can always count on Him to be with us and help us when we need Him, especially in days like these with scary thoughts of this virus. Let’s say a prayer thanking Jesus for that very thing. Jesus, thank You for always helping us with our doubts and fears. We know we can always count on You to be there for us and help us grow in our faith to believe that You are alive and with us every day. Don’t let us be a “Doubting Thomas.” Be with those who are scared or sick or grieving now. Help this virus to go away soon. In Your name we pray, Amen.” EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High Low Normal high Normal low Record high Record low confronting their own sins, and repenting of those sins they themselves have committed, so they would be ready to stand before God in judgment. We haven’t changed so much over the years. When we observe trials or tribulations in the world around us, how often are we moved to try and cast blame one way or another. We want to know who deserves to be punished for the misfortune. We want to feel superior to others. We want to score political points and point out how awful those who disagree with us are, and why this event or that event simply proves our side was right all along. Lost along the way are the more important issues. The followers of Christ should resist all such temptations and instead consider the lessons of Christ. When confronted by reminders of our own mortality, we should use it as an occasion for introspection, asking ourselves if we are ready to stand before God. It is always easy to see where others have gone wrong, but it is a much more useful skill to be able to identify our own faults first, and this is what Jesus teaches us to do (cf. Matthew 7:5). Likewise, when we see suffering in the world around us, rather than trying to figure out how to use such occasions to make ourselves feel better about ourselves, or using them as an opportunity to score political points, or advance our personal agenda, Jesus teaches us to use these occasions to let our light shine, doing the work of the Lord, to the glory of His name (cf. Matthew 5:16). Though we may be socialdistancing at the moment, when the moment passes, the church of Christ invites you to visit and worship with us at 234 Chapel Drive, Gallipolis, Ohio.
