At Eastern High School, the stadium lights at East Shade River Stadium were turned on as fire trucks led the way through the parking lot followed by many vehicles, some of which were decorated to honor the seniors who rode in them. Several vehicles honking their horns also took part in the parade to show support for the students.

Older people are also the most likely to need hip and knee replacements and other procedures now paused, and that would tend to lower projected Medicare spending. The dates are the years that both programs will exhaust their trust funds. When that happens, Social Security will have to cut benefits which many recipients depend on, or lawmakers will have to raise the payroll tax. Medicare would have to cut its payments to hospitals, nursing homes and other medical providers unless taxes are increased. The annual trustees reports contain the same general warnings they’ve carried for years. Both benefit programs need to make adjustments to become financially sound. But the choices of cutting benefits or raising taxes to bring that about remain politically unpalatable to most lawmakers. Instead, Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has called for expanding both programs. On Social Security Biden would increase benefits, especially for people of modest incomes, while raising more revenue from upper-income earners. President Donald Trump pledged during the 2016 campaign not to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits. Before the pandemic, he said in an interview that his administration would be taking a look at benefit programs, but the White House press office pushed back on suggestions he was opening the door to cuts. Various proposals have been put forward. They include reducing the annual cost of living benefit increases for Social Security, raising payroll taxes or raising the retirement age for Medicare. Yet there is little political appetite for such changes.

Dakota auto races Thursday, April 23, 2020 3 �Opinion 4 Thursday, April 23, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing THEIR VIEW Surviving the haircare crisis in America Raise your hand if you’re thinking a lot lately about your hairdresser. My hairdresser, Janet Cole, has seen me through my mid-40s transition from bottled ash blonde to natural white, and the Mary follicle wallop of six rounds of cheThomas motherapy 11 years ago. Watts She’s given me every haircut I’ve Contributing had for almost three decades, except columnist the time I was away from home for several weeks and learned the hard way never to patronize a cheap, walk-in place again. Janet withheld judgement, as far as I could tell, and worked her magic on the mess someone else’s scissors had made. I expect that level of compassion and skill is commonplace among beauty professionals, but I’m seeing some things online that cause me to shudder at what the pros are going to be up against once social distancing restrictions are lifted and salons are open again. Take the viral Facebook and YouTube video of one Corkey Miller, whose running commentary, as she hacked away at her hair with a pair of newwith-dangling-tag craft scissors, in front of her bathroom mirror, was mighty funny. Watching her was so equally hilarious and cathartic, in fact, that you know darn well it’s given other cooped up souls license to go at their own raggedy hair with whatever instruments can get the job done. It’s all fun and games until your hairdresser sees what you’ve done. I don’t care how prepared stylists think they are, if clients present themselves at their post-distancing appointments looking like Corkey Miller, with a bald spot over one ear and no two sections of hair anywhere near the same length, they’re gonna have a fit. Same for coloring your own hair at home, if you don’t know what you’re doing. Like years ago, when a friend’s Tennessee stylist asked him what he’d done to his hair. He said he’d used some of his wife’s Miss Clairol. “Well, honey,” the stylist said, lifting and examining one lock, then another, “that stuff’s done gone green on you.” I feel your pain. I’ve already missed one appointment and I’m coming up on the time for another. I stick with a pretty utilitarian style, short and layered, wash and go, minimal product required, and radically reliant on regular haircuts to stay presentable. If you wear your hair long, really, what’s a few weeks without a trim? You have options: ponytails and braids, barrettes and clips. You’ve probably got drawers full of accessories. I’m saving my sympathy for other women with short to medium length hair who can’t do a thing with it and are this close to covering all the mirrors in the house and taping construction paper over the microwave door. Like all bad times (and the good ones, as well, I’m afraid), this, too, shall pass. In the meantime, instead of seeking backchannel self-help haircare advice, see if your hairdresser has posted survival tips on social media, like Janet and her colleagues at The Cutting Room have in videos on their Facebook page. It helped to see Janet’s own hair in an improv updo and hear her say, “When we do go back to work, I will be working seven days a week, probably twelve- to thirteen-, fourteen-hour days. That’s so I can get you all in as quickly as I possibly can. Please don’t stress out. We’re all probably going to look like, I don’t even want to say. (laughs) But it’ll be OK.” Until you’re sitting in the salon chair again, hide the scissors, and send your stylist a check for the appointments you’ve missed. It’s the least we can do for them, now that we can see exactly where we’d be without them. Mary Thomas Watts lives and writes in Wilmington, Ohio.

The governments, local, state and federal, have probably later than they should have, instituted stay-inplace orders and closed many businesses in order to stem the infection. We now have people protesting that they cannot get haircuts or go to the mall, calling such deprivation assaults on their freedom.The majority of protestors I have seen are waving guns, carrying Confederate flags or flags supporting the president. If their true motivation is protecting their freedom or getting back to work what do guns, Confederate flags and political signs have to do with it? There is no doubt these are hard times for many people. Our country was not ready for this. The unemployment system in Ohio has basically crashed and burned, no doubt due to OK!

Some people cannot live if the country is re-opened because the virus will kill them and it can and does kill all kinds of people. In addition, if the country is opened and the cases resurge or spike we will be back in the same place, businesses will close, people will be ordered to stay home, wear, masks, etc. perhaps for an even longer time. Dead people are not good workers or customers. Is money more important or are people’s lives more important? As is always the case, what you see depends on where you are standing. I have no doubt we will get through this, I only hope we will not have suffered in vain and will learn some important lessons about health care, economics, compassion and the role of governments.

As some governors in the U.S. — largely Republican ones — moved to reopen an everwider variety of businesses, others took a more cautious approach and came under mounting pressure from protesters complaining that their livelihoods are being destroyed and their freedom of movement is being infringed on. With the crisis easing but far from over in Europe, small shops in Berlin reopened, and restrictions were also relaxed in Denmark and Austria. In France, long lines formed outside the few McDonald’s drive-thrus that started serving customers again. Still, many employees and customers were uneasy, suggesting that a return to normal is a long way off. “Of course I’m happy that I can open again and we can keep our heads above water,” said Galina Hooge, who opened her small Berlin toy store for the first time in over a month. But she worried that some Germans aren’t taking the outbreak seriously. “Relaxing the rules doesn’t mean that everything is over. It’s not over by a long stretch,” she said. German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said “very (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN EMPLOYMENT Help Wanted General Seeking candidates IRU *HQHUDO )DEULFDWLRQ� &1& 0DFKLQLVW� ,QGXVWULDO 0DLQWHQDQFH� (QJLQHHU Apply on line @ NLPHVVWHHO�FRP�HPSOR\PHQW Best Deal New & Used OH-70181827 MARK PORTER FORD Home of the Car Fairy OH-70004516 www.markporterauto.com careful steps” must be taken to keep the virus from making a resurgence. “What we want to avoid is falling back into the exponential spread of the virus that we had in the first phase of the pandemic,” he said. Across the Atlantic in Savannah, Georgia, where Republican Gov. Brian Kemp announced that gyms and salons can reopen this week, gym owner Mark Lebos said it would be professional negligence to do so right now. “We are not going to be a vector of death and suffering,” he said. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, said that Kemp’s decision “really defies logic.” With manicures, haircuts and massages, “the nature of the business is that you are in close contact with someone,” she said on NBC’s “Today” show.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he is enlisting former Mayor Mike Bloomberg to help create a massive “tracing army” that will find infected people and get them into isolation. The death toll in the state climbed past 15,000, not counting nearly 4,900 deaths in New York City that are believed to have been caused by the virus but haven’t been confirmed by a lab test. While some hot spots like Italy, Spain and New York have seen a drop in daily death tolls and new hospitalizations, other areas are facing a resurgence of the coronavirus. Singapore, once a model of virus tracking and prevention, saw an explosion of new cases and announced it would extend its lockdown into June. In California, health officials said two people with coronavirus died in the state weeks before the first reported U.S. death from the disease on Feb. 29 in Washington state. The finding adds to the evidence that the virus was circulating in the U.S. earlier than previously thought. In North Carolina, where Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is keeping in place his stay-home order for at least another week, hundreds marched around the executive mansion on Tuesday. At the Missouri Capitol, several hundred with the same demands waved the American flag and chanted “USA!

Fans sue MLB over ticket money, ask for class action LOS ANGELES (AP) — A pair of fans in New York sued Major League Baseball, Commissioner Rob Manfred and the 30 teams, asking for their money back for tickets and for certification of class-action status. The lawsuit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles by Matthew Ajzenman, who said he bought a partial season plan for more than 20 Mets games; and Susan Terry-Bazer, who said she purchased six tickets for a May 9 game at Yankee Stadium against Boston. “Baseball fans are stuck with expensive and unusable tickets for unplayable games in the midst of this economic crisis,” the lawsuit said. “Under the pretext of `postponing’ games, at the directive of MLB, teams and ticket merchants are refusing to issue refunds for games which are not going to be played as scheduled — if ever.” Ajzenman said his Mets plan cost $1,730 and he made a first payment to the team of about $317 last year. Terry-Bazer said she paid $926 to Ticketmaster and planned to take her grandson to the Red Sox-Yankees game. Ticketmaster, Stubhub, Live Nation and Last Minute Transactions are among the defendants. The caption on the first page included Tampa Bay Devil Rays Ltd. — “Devil” was dropped from the team’s nickname after the 2007 season. “The defendants continue to retain enormous profits from tickets sold for the 2020 MLB season at the expense of fans’ financial hardship,” the suit said. Fans asked for “full restitution, an accounting of all MLB tickets sold for the 2020 season (including season tickets, single game purchases, and public seat licenses), a declaratory judgment that defendants’ conduct of continuing to sell tickets for the 2020 MLB regular season violates California law, as well as a disgorgement of profits from tickets sold during the 2020 MLB season.” They allege violations of California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law and of civil conspiracy. Opening day on March 26 was pushed back until mid-May at the earliest after a national emergency was declared due to the new coronavirus pandemic. MLB said it is awaiting government and medical direction, and it does not know when the season can begin. The league and the players’ union have discussed the possibility of playing at neutral sites or in empty ballparks, but no decisions have been made. MLB, the Mets and Yankees did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Mark Humphrey | AP file Fans attend the final day of the 2019 NFL draft in Nashville, Tenn. This year’s draft will have no such remote locations and no group gatherings. ESPN and NFL Network will air a combined broadcast Thursday through Saturday. It will originate from ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, but most of the reporters and analysts will be at their homes. Direct from Roger Goodell’s basement, the NFL draft! By Tim Dahlberg Associated Press It was supposed to be an extravaganza only Las Vegas can bring, complete with showgirls, A-list celebs, and a stage in the middle of the Bellagio fountains. Instead, the NFL draft will come to you Thursday night from the friendly confines of Roger Goodell’s basement. No one, of course, expected anything like this to happen. But here’s a timeline of what might take place as America tunes in for a draft like no other (all times EDT): 7:45 p.m. — Goodell leans his iPhone against a souvenir football on the folding table he found in his basement closet. Nervously, he checks the WiFi connection and tries to remember if his right side is his best side. 8 p.m. — The broadcast opens with Goodell sitting alone in his basement, welcoming fans to the draft. He pulls an old stopwatch from his coat pocket and declares the draft open before answering the one question viewers really want to know. “Yes, I am wearing pants,’’ he tells the country. 8:10 p.m. — The Bengals, after a brief interruption when Goodell’s dog walks into the picture, announce they will take LSU’s Joe Burrow with the first pick. Goodell marks Burrow off his yellow legal pad, then scratches his dog’s belly and tells him he’s a good boy. 8:15 p.m. — ESPN throws it to Burrow’s parents’ house, where he’s sitting in his old room, a poster of his childhood idol Tom Brady on the wall behind him. Burrow is so excited he runs into the living room to highfive his mother. “Back off 6 feet, draft boy,’’ she warns him. 8:18 p.m. — President Donald Trump sends a tweet congratulating Burrow, Baton Rouge and the great state of Mississippi. 8:25 p.m. — A roar is heard, startling Goodell. Realizing what it is, he quickly jumps up to turn off “Tiger King” on his basement TV. 8:26 p.m. — The country discovers Goodell wasn’t telling the truth about his pants. 8:35 p.m. — The Bucs are letting Tom Brady run their draft as well as their team, and he picks the first of what will be five offensive linemen. After an awkward pause, Brady invites Buc fans to join him in chanting “Tompa Bay, Tompa Bay’’ and reminds them they can buy the T-shirts online. 8:48 p.m. — There’s a break for commercials and then a PSA from Dr. Anthony Fauci, who demonstrates the proper way for draft picks to wash their hands. He does it while singing “Wash hands, wash hands, till Brady comes home.’” 8:49 p.m. — Goodell uses the break to answer front door, where there’s a delivery from Pizza Hut, the NFL’s official pizza supplier. Goodell wipes down the pizza box with disinfectant, then apologizes to the delivery person for not having any cash for a tip. 9 p.m. — With just 10 minutes a pick, things are moving so fast that Goodell barely has time to wolf down a slice of pepperoni. He calls for the Bengals’ pick, only to find out the team’s GM can’t get online because his daughter is using up all the bandwidth streaming “Tiger King” on her iPad. 9:10 p.m. — As feared, the NFL feed is attacked by hackers, who send a chilling message. Instead of porn, they tease viewers with tantalizing images of grocery stores stocked full of toilet paper and cleansing wipes. 9:15 p.m.—— Goodell invites fans to send messages he can read on air. The first one comes from an M. Jordan, who wonders why ESPN is not airing part 8 of “The Last Dance.’” 9:20 p.m. — The Chargers select Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, the second quarterback picked. Goodell mutters “Yes!’’ under his breath, then checks his pocket to make sure he still has the Vegas betting slip that pays him if Tagovailoa is picked before Oregon’s Justin Herbert. 9:25 p.m. — The Raiders are up and all eyes turn to the new team from Las Vegas. Mark Davis excuses his appearance, saying he hasn’t been able to get to his barber lately, then selects a wide receiver from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute who isn’t on anyone’s draft chart. After promising fans that he’s the new Fred Biletnikoff, Davis then picks up his kazoo and starts playing “Viva Las Vegas.” 9:28 p.m. — Goodell rips up his betting ticket on the Raiders winning more than 6 games next season. 9:40 p.m. — The first dispute of the draft come as the Vikings try to make a sleeper pick at quarterback, only to find out all their information has mysteriously been wiped off their laptop screens. After pleading unsuccessfully with Goodell for more time, they switch to an alternate pick. 9:50 p.m. — Picking next, the Patriots take the quarterback the Vikings wanted. Bill Belichick is seen laughing loudly from his basement while fiddling with some computer equipment. Saturday, 4:15 p.m. — It’s been a draft like no other, and the NFL thought of everything, including the canned boos piped in every time Goodell sat before his mic. Finally, after long hours in basements and kitchen tables across the country, the last pick is made. Somehow Mr. Irrelevant seems even more irrelevant than ever. �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Thursday, April 23, 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 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� %\�'DYH�*UHHQ see what’s brewing on the job market.
