We long for all the things we naïvely took for granted only a short time ago. The gift of visiting family, of human interaction, of a secure job, and of countless luxuries like attending a concert, enjoying a good meal in a restaurant, or greeting a friend at a Sunday church service, which have all been temporarily suspended. Christina Similarly, my grandmother expeClaypool rienced living through the Great Contributing Depression of the 1930s. She lived columnist through it, but truthfully, she carried the message of threatening scarcity with her forever. Until now, I never fully understood Gram’s emotional scars that manifested in odd behaviors. For instance, if green beans or corn were on sale, even though Grandma lived alone, she would buy at least a dozen cans. Besides stockpiling canned goods, she’d stack toilet paper almost to the ceiling in her bathroom. After COVID-19 runs its course, I will probably never look at toilet paper the same way either. Gram also taught anyone who would listen, the importance of saving for a rainy day. She believed in avoiding debt and using wisdom when purchasing anything, because she never forgot a rainy day was an imminent possibility. Yet most Americans weren’t prepared or financially able to save for this Covid-19 rainy day, so it’s economically frightening. Although if we are candid, it’s frightening for everyone. After all, news commentators, politicians, and healthcare experts, use the rather unsettling word, “unprecedented” when referring to this pandemic. “Unprecedented” is defined as something that has “never happened or existed in the past” according to the Cambridge Dictionary. This means there is no established data, no known outcomes, or available roadmap for experts to use when navigating this crisis. We have rapidly embraced the lifestyle of a new vocabulary with terms like: social distancing, sheltering-in-place, personal protective equipment (PPE) and Coronavirus Update. And silently we can’t help but wonder, how will we ever return to a more normal existence? Despite this, historically Americans have been a strong people when faced with daunting challenges. As a nation, we have navigated other terrifying tragedies with uncertain outcomes and remained resilient. Specifically, remember 9/11/2001 when the USA withstood a horrific attack? But unfortunately, 9/11 didn’t leave us unscathed. After that, we seemed to become more mistrustful of each other. Now, with the advent of COVID-19, many folks are fearful of anyone not living in their own home. Still, there are hurting people among us who desperately need assistance, and it’s our civic duty to keep searching for solutions. Those hit hardest by the effects of this current healthcare crises are individuals marginalized in some way already. The elderly, those with a fragile health conditions, the mentally ill, adults living in a domestic violence situation, abused children in an unsafe environment, and the countless poor among us. There are also the grieving, those brokenhearted by the loss of a loved one to this heinous illness. At first, there was shock, as Americans faced this unknown enemy. Grocery shelves emptied, selfish individuals hoarded basic necessities and greedy people stockpiled life-saving PPE that should have been distributed to our heroic medical community and first responders. But these callous citizens are not the majority of who we are as a nation. Those living in the USA have often been defined by their generosity and resourcefulness. “Resourceful” is an American attribute being displayed everywhere from home-bound mask makers, parents turned teachers, overnight Internet churches, to frontline physicians inventing ventilators out of ordinary items, among many other examples of ingenuity. As for “generosity,” there are constant acts of kindness that can go unnoticed, if we focus only on the negative. We can’t allow the fear surrounding Covid-19 to cause us to become selfish, greedy, or afraid to be kind or compassionate to other human beings, even if that kindness is from a distance. We have to fight fear with faith. Faith that this temporary trial will be coming to an end someday soon. My late mother used to encourage me with a well-known expression, which I would like to leave with you, “This too shall pass.” It truly will, because God is still in control, so we can take courage and have hope that better days are just around the corner. But for now, we have to take it “one day at a time.” Christina Ryan Claypool is a freelance journalist and an inspirational speaker. Contact her through her website at www. christinaryanclaypool.com.

THEIR VIEW Science, patience and luck From the beginning of time, if someone suffered an injury (almost any injury that broke the skin), there was a possibility that they might die. There was a real possibility that, if they didn’t die from the actual injury, they might die from an infection. At that time, scientists and physicians had no idea what caused infections or how they were spread. They only knew the results of an infectious process could be redness, swelling, puss, drainage, gangrene, the loss of the limb and the possible loss of life. In 1847, a Hungarian doctor, an obstetrician named Dr. Ignaz Semmelweiss, made a presentation at a medical meeting in Europe and told the attending physicians that many lives could be saved if they committed to both memory, and to practice, three simple words … “Wash your hands.” Twenty years later, a Scottish surgeon named Dr. Joseph Lister started to practice rigorous handwashing before every surgical procedure. He noticed that, with handwashing, the infection rates amongst his patients dropped dramatically. He tied these results to the work of Louis Pasteur, who is credited with discovering “germ theory.” Pasteur theorized, and later proved, that organisms, too small to be seen, could enter the body and cause an infection that could result in death. If the names Lister and Pasteur sound familiar, you may be thinking about Listerine and Pasteurization. Both are named in honor of the scientists who pioneered the elimination of germs. The most common tagline for the mouthwash Listerine is, “Kills germs world’s first antithat cause bad biotic, or bacteria breath.” The word killer.

Large billows would pump air are in and out of the chamber causing air to move in and out of the patient’s lungs. Many professionals consider this to be the birth of Respiratory Therapy. Dr. Jonas Salk, a physician specializing in research, worked to develop a cure for polio. In 1955, he announced to the world that a vaccine had been perfected. At the time it was considered a medical miracle. It still is. Due to Salk’s work millions of lives were saved from death and the crippling effects of the disease. Again, we are struggling with a worldwide epidemic – COVID-19. Thousands of physicians and scientists are working to find a cure. We can quarantine. We can socially isolate. Nothing is going to stop this disease until science discovers a cure – a vaccine that will protect us from the virus. Until a cure is discovered, we will revert to isolation and social distancing. We will wear masks and scrub our hands to protect ourselves and others. In the long run, we will defeat COVID-19, but until then, we need to prevent the spread of this horrible virus. Stay strong. Stay safe. Try to be patient. Science will find a cure. Also… pray for some luck. Randy Riley is former Mayor of Wilmington, Ohio and former Clinton County Commissioner.

Other developments Monday related to the virus in Ohio: Prisons Ohio inmates make up nearly one in four of the state’s coronavirus cases following a spike in identified infections as universal testing takes place inside three state prisons. Figures released Sunday show 1,828 positive tests at Marion Correctional Facility in north-central Ohio, out of about 2,500 total inmates, according to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. In addition, 109 employees at Marion have tested positive, out of a total of about 350 workers, which includes about 295 guards. One Marion prison guard died earlier this month. Systemwide, 2,400 inmates have tested positive and six have died, including five at Pickaway Correctional Facility in central Ohio, where 384 inmates have tested positive out of a population of about 2,000. Even the head of the prison guards’ union, Christopher Mabe, is in self-quarantine after his wife, a guard at Lorain Correctional Institution, tested positive.

Inmate rights groups have called on the Republican governor to release thousands of the state’s 49,000 inmates to prevent the spread of the virus — among them Policy Matters Ohio, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Ohio Organizing Collaborative and the Juvenile Justice Coalition. To date, DeWine has released just seven inmates, and requested a review of 198 others, most of them elderly, with sentences running out soon; pregnant inmates; and women with children living with them behind bars. Members of the Ohio National Guard are helping staff the Pickaway and Marion facilities, and are also assisting at the federal prison in Elkton in eastern Ohio, where six inmates have died. On April 10, DeWine announced that facility-wide testing would be done at Marion, Pickaway and the Franklin Medical Center in Columbus. At that time, 36 inmates and 58 employees had tested positive, most at Marion and Pickaway. That decision came two weeks after a Marion employee first tested positive on March 29. Although the prison system assessed every Marion staff member afterward, it was up to inmates to tell medical staff if they were ill, according to an email the prisons director sent to DeWine’s office on March 30. “Nothing of concern has surfaced,” prisons director Annette Chambers-Smith said of the inmate situation in the March 30 email, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press through a records’ request.

Barnes | AP Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin (8) skates during the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Buffalo Sabres on March 9, in Buffalo, N.Y. Wayne Gretzky sees a lot of himself in Alex Ovechkin, from the smile on his face each time he steps on the ice to his passion for scoring goals. There are also differences, like Gretzky’s sole focus on the NHL growing up in Brantford, Ontario, versus Ovechkin’s upbringing in Moscow. “The Great One” believes the Washington Capitals captain has a good chance of breaking his all-time record of 894 goals that once seemed untouchable, depending on how long Ovechkin plays in the NHL. Gretzky speculated that Ovechkin could go home to Russia and finish his career in the Kontinental Hockey League. “Maybe one day in his mind he’ll say, ‘Look, I want to go home and play in the KHL when I can still compete at a high level,’” Gretzky told The Associated Press in a phone interview Sunday. “We don’t know that. That’s his decision. But I think he loves being in Washington, I think he loves the NHL and I think he’ll do everything he can at any point to chase down the record.” Ovechkin’s longevity and his pursuit of Gretzky’s record are among the topics they discussed in their first joint interview, which airs Monday on NBC Sports Network. It comes with them 3,000 miles away and hockey on hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic but shines a spotlight on the potential of Ovechkin, who has 706 goals, spending the next few years chasing Gretzky. Ovechkin has 48 goals this season, tied for the league lead with Boston’s David Pastrnak, and if the regular season were to resume, he could match Gretzky and Mike Bossy with nine 50-goal seasons. If not, the time away and focus on the chase could drive Ovechkin to play long enough to break the record. “You really feel like this record is meaningful,” NHL chief content officer Steve Mayer said in a video interview with The AP. “I’ve got the feeling that if he’s close, he’s not going to go away so fast.” When asked how long he’d play, Ovechkin has repeatedly referred to the one year remaining on his contract and said, “We’ll see.” He answers the See OVECHKIN | 8 Sports leagues seek return to play but with no guarantees By Eddie Pells The Associated Press With no games being played, recent sports headlines have centered around hopes and dreams — namely, the uncharted path leagues and teams must navigate to return to competition in the wake of the pandemic. Virtually all leagues talk publicly about their desire to return before summer. But behind closed doors, they are hatching different potential plans: all 30 baseball teams playing in Arizona; home run contests to decide tie games; the Stanley Cup being hoisted in an empty arena that neither team calls home; end-of-season soccer standings decided by vote; college football games in spring. Over the past week, The Associated Press spoke to more than two dozen policymakers, coaches and players across the globe to get their candid assessments of plans to return from the stoppages caused by the new coronavirus. The conclusion: While it’s critical to put optimistic restart scenarios in place, there is no certainty any of these plans will work without buy-in from politicians and an OK from players and medical experts. Underpinning it all would have to be a drastic ramp-up in testing, a vaccine or treatment breakthrough, or some other solution. In short, the return of any sports, no matter how innovative the plan, will be risky and uncertain for the rest of this year and into 2021. “It’s not about 22 players walking onto a pitch and throwing a ball out,” said FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani, whose concerns about restarting soccer mirror those of all sports worldwide. The organizers of the Olympics were among the last to postpone their event, then among the first to set a new date – exactly 52 weeks after the original July 24 cauldron lighting had been scheduled. The decision to reschedule for a date 15 months down the road came just before an unexpected spike in virus cases hit Japan. The worry that followed underscored the many open questions about the arc of the outbreak. “I think everyone’s probably working on multiple options. It’s ’If this, then what?’” said Tim Hinchey, the CEO of USA Swimming, the sport’s governing body in the United States. Virtually all the big-time team sports are coming up with scenarios to play games with no fans in the stands. The Washington Post reported that while the NFL is publicly committed to its usual kickoff date in September, it is looking into contingencies that include shortening the season or playing in front of half-full or empty stadiums. College athletic directors have come up with a half-dozen or more scenarios for football season, including, according to Oklahoma’s Joe Castiglione, a scenario in which part of the season would be played in spring. One theme gaining wide acceptance: If it’s not safe enough for students to return to school or attend games, then athletes shouldn’t be asked to return either. Without the millions of dollars from football, all college sports are in peril. NASCAR, which has been holding virtual races, has given teams a tentative schedule under which the season would resume May 24 without fans. The NHL has drawn up plans that include resuming the season this summer, going directly to the playoffs and/or playing games in empty arenas in neutral-site cities. The PGA Tour announced a mid-June restart and meshed its schedule with the already reworked majors calendar. In a nod to the precariousness of it all, Andy Pazder, the tour’s chief officer of tournaments and competition, said if events See LEAGUES | 8 Chris O’Meara | AP William Byron before the NASCAR Daytona 500 auto race on Feb. 16, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla. Byron wins 2nd NASCAR virtual race CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Nobody did anything to get fired or lose a sponsor in this week’s edition of NASCAR virtual racing. William Byron won his second consecutive NASCAR virtual race on Sunday by holding off Timmy Hill — the driver who moved him out of the way to win an earlier iRacing event — in a race low on dramatics. Matt DiBenedetto was parked after twice crashing at virtual Richmond Raceway with Ryan Preece, the second incident clearly intentional. It triggered a Twitter spat between the two, with DiBenedetto demanding Preece’s address to go to his house to fight and Preece replying he’d give it to him if DiBenedetto showed up in the giraffe costume he wore while competing Sunday. Jimmie Johnson manually disconnected his simulator rather than wait out late-race repairs, and Kevin Harvick ate his lunch from the seat of his rig as he was in a 20-minute hold for repairs. But that was about it in terms of controversy on a day NASCAR desperately needed a drama-free event. Kyle Larson was fired this week for using a racial slur during a nonNASCAR sanctioned iRacing event last Sunday night, and drivers and fans are showing signs of losing some of the excitement that initially engulfed this virtual racing league when it launched during the coronavirus pandemic. Byron, 22 and in his third Cup season driving for Hendrick Motorsports, is an avid iRacer who learned to drive a stock car through the platform. “I wasn’t in a racing family growing up and obviously this was my avenue to cut my teeth,” Byron said. “I’m very thankful for what it has done for me. Driving the 24 car in real life for Hendrick Motorsports is a dream and I was really just a kid on here that was excited, a NASCAR face in a channel when I was racing against them. Now I am racing against them in real life.” Resets were eliminated to make it a cleaner race, and NASCAR and broadcast partner Fox initially trimmed the field in an effort to avoid the wreck-fest from virtual Bristol two weeks ago. That created a wave of backlash as the drivers dropped were both full-time Cup participants or had sold sponsorship for the iRaces. As a concession, a heat race was held Sunday morning in which 11 drivers tried to finish inside the top two to advance into the main event. Bobby Labonte and Landon Cassill raced in, and because it is an invitational, Fox offered two more spots to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Daniel Suarez. Earnhardt earlier in the week pulled out of the race to give his spot to an active driver, but he joined the heat race when the rules were changed and competed in the main event. There were still crashes, including one involving Bubba Wallace and Clint Bowyer for the second consecutive iRace. Wallace had “rage quit” at virtual Bristol after wrecking with Bowyer and his sponsor for the event fired him on the spot. Right before Sunday’s race started, Wallace pleaded on his stream: “Clint, don’t wreck me! Don’t wreck me!” But he and Bowyer did have early contact, to which Bowyer noted, “two races in a row I got Bubba-ed.” Bowyer has been Fox’s in-race reporter and was invited to join Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon in the “booth” but tweeted “Beer :30 folks!” before settling in as a commentator. Wallace, for his part, was the final car on track this Sunday. Harvick made his iRacing debut, likely pushed by his sponsors and race team to get involved in the only activity drivers can do right now to promote their partners. Brad Keselowski got his directive straight from team owner Roger Penske. After using a borrowed simulator in his first event, Keselowski sprung for his own rig this week — a purchase he’s not sure he can expense back to the boss. The platform has become an important initiative for almost all of NASCAR’s stakeholders and it twice set esports viewership records for Fox. Hendrick Motorsports was the first team to have its drivers do remote meet-and-greets with sponsors, and Ford used Sunday’s race to promote “Project Apollo” — its effort to produce personal protective equipment for health care workers — on several of its drivers’ cars. But Wallace losing his sponsor was the first sign of cracks in a series rapidly put together a week after the sports shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Then Larson was fired, and with the massive hours required to practice on the simulators each week, some drivers have seemed weary of the series. There’s also a worry of over-saturation as nearly every professional racing league has some sort of iRacing events, and nonsanctioned races are being held every night of the week. �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Tuesday, April 21, 2020 7 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 By Hilary Price � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO � ���� Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Hank Ketcham’s � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

The league that got in front of the coronavirus pandemic first, calling off games on March 11, is in a holding pattern. Most of the league’s conversations center on how to resume the season, not whether to cancel it. In Australia, ambitious plans to resume play in the National Rugby League by the end of May got shot down by Prime Minister Scott Morrison. England’s Premier League also says it wants to finish its season but would do so only “with the full support of the government” and when “medical guidance allows.” Meanwhile, in Scotland, a wild round of voting has already taken place to decide whether to lock in standings for leagues there and get ready for next season. Major League Baseball in the U.S. is talking about bringing all 30 teams to Maricopa County, Arizona, for a regular season at spring training sites. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the infectious disease expert who has been calling for restraint in resuming any normal activities, offered a glimmer of hope when he suggested sports could conceivably return. He suggested no fans in arenas and constant testing for the players, who would likely need to be quarantined in hotels for weeks or months. Not all the players are on board. “I’m going to go four or five months without seeing my kid when it’s born? I can tell you right now that’s not going to happen,” Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals wrote in a diary for AP. Zimmerman’s third child is due in June. Whether Zimmerman shows or not, baseball could be a vastly different game if it returns in 2020. Some other ideas floated include wrapping up the season in December, scheduling a multitude of doubleheaders with seven-inning games and quickly deciding ties with home run derbies. Yet for all those scenarios, nobody’s quite sure what will happen if, despite all the precautions, an outbreak hits a team. Could one positive test eviscerate an entire season? Before setting anything in motion, all the leagues are waiting for a consensus to emerge from government and health experts, to say nothing of players and owners. Right now, Montagliani said, “the paramount skill set required from us is risk management and nothing else.” (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Amy Carter EMPLOYMENT REAL ESTATE FOR RENT Product Specialist �� ���� �������!�������������� �� ���� ��� ��!� ��� � � �� ����� ���� � � amycarter@markporterauto.com LEGAL NOTICE Notice is hereby given that sealed bids will be received in the Office of the City Manager, 333 Third Avenue, Gallipolis, Ohio for water and sewer maintenance supplies, hydrants and meters.
