Wednesday, April 29, 2020 s 50¢ Ohio’s mail-in primary Governor now says masks recommended but not required COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Gov. Mike DeWine on Tuesday relaxed his order on mandatory face coverings in businesses for employees and customers, saying that after receiving input on his decision, mask-wearing will be recommended but not required. “Within the last 24 hours, it has become clear to me that a mandatory mask requirement for retail customers is offensive to some of our fellow Ohioans,” DeWine said. The first protocol on DeWine’s online list for businesses starting to reopen now says: “Recommend face coverings for employees and clients/customers.” On Monday, the governor said: “No masks, no work, no service, no exception.” DeWine also said he’s seeking input from groups on how to reopen restaurants as well as barber shops and salons. His announcement on receiving input from restaurants comes as the House Speaker said DeWine’s plan for when to reopen Ohio’s economy “disrespected” the wishes of fellow GOP lawmakers. Lawmakers are frustrated that small businesses can’t reopen until May 12 even though national chain competitors haven’t had to shut their doors, Rep. Larry Householder said in a Monday night announcement. “As long as small retailers continue to be shut down while national chains are allowed to remain open, government is assisting in the demise of many great small businesses,” Householder said. “The big get bigger and the small go away.” Householder said DeWine’s administra- tion hasn’t been willing to work with lawmakers on the issue. “Our members feel disrespected that their opinions have been largely disregarded by the Administration,” Householder said. But six major business groups, including the Ohio Council of Retail Merchants and the Ohio chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses, are backing DeWine’s plan. An exception: the Ohio Restaurant Association, which wants the option of dine-in service to begin on May 15. DeWine hasn’t set a timeline for bars, restaurants, movie theaters and other businesses that attract crowds to reopen. DeWine’s plan, announced Monday, allows many health care offices to reopen Friday, followed by construction companies, manufacturers and distributors and offices on Monday. Masks will become standard for the foreseeable future, whether at the office, grocery or on the assembly line, DeWine said. In other coronavirusrelated developments: Cases The state has 799 positive or confirmed deaths, and more than 16,700 cases, including more than 3,300 hospitalizations, the Ohio Health Department reported Tuesday. For most people, the virus causes mild or moderate symptoms that clear up in a couple of weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are at higher risk of more severe illness, including pneumonia, or death.

(AP) — A teen charged in the 2018 Kentucky school shooting that killed two students has pleaded guilty to murder. Gabriel Ross Parker was 15 when he fired a handgun into a crowd of students before classes started at Marshall County High School on Jan. 23, 2018. Parker was arrested at the school and charged with murder. He later was charged as an adult. Marshall County Commonwealth’s Attorney Dennis Foust said the plea deal gives Parker a life sentence. Along with the murder convictions, he also pleaded guilty to 14 counts of assault. Parker, now 18, appeared by teleconference on Tuesday before Marshall Circuit Judge James Jameson. Foust said the coronavirus pandemic played a role in moving toward a plea agreement for Parker. The trial was scheduled to open June 1. Reality TV star Ashley ‘Minnie’ Ross dies in wreck ATLANTA (AP) — Ashley Ross of the reality TV show “Little Women: Atlanta” has died in a head-on crash on a Georgia road, police and her representative confirmed Tuesday. Ross, 34, who was known as “Ms. Minnie,” died of her injuries Monday at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, her publicist Liz Dixson said in an email to The Association Press. “The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time,” Dixon said. The wreck happened late Sunday night on a road south of Atlanta, Dixson said. It was a head-on crash involving a Nissan Sentra and a Ford Focus, City of South Fulton Lt. Derrick Rogers said. The driver of the Nissan struck a curb, lost control of the vehicle and crossed into the opposed lanes, striking the Ford, he said. Police did not say which vehicle Ross was in or provide other details, but they said the other driver suffered minor injuries.

Banking industry groups said Tuesday that the SBA’s loan processing system is still unable to handle the heavy volume of loan applications from business owners trying to get aid under the Paychceck Protection Program, part of the government’s $2 trillion coronavirus rescue package. “Today is just another slow, frustrating slog for getting PPP loans through,” said Paul Merski, a vice president at the Independent Community Bankers of America. The government’s small business loan program was replenished with $310 billion and started taking applications again Monday. Without addressing any glitches, President Donald Trump said at a press conference with small business owners Tuesday that twice as many users had accessed the SBA’s processing system as on any day during the first round of funding, during which about 1.7 million loans totaling $349 billion were approved. At Bank of America, which submitted 184,000 applications by Monday morning and has tried sending in another 48,000 since then, only 1,000 have beeen approved, according to a source familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because they Wilfredo Lee | AP file A sign is posted on a closed store in North Miami, Fla. Banks trying to submit applications for thousands of small businesses seeking coronavirus relief loans have hit a bottleneck for a second day at the Small Business Administration. Banking industry groups say the SBA’s loan processing system is still unable to handle the volume of loan applications from business owners trying to get aid under the Paychceck Protection Program, part of the government’s $2 trillion coronavirus aid program. were not authorized to speak publicly about the process. Tuesday afternoon the SBA said about 476,000 loans had been approved totaling more than $52 billion. Trump said most of the loans approved were for smaller amounts, an indication that loans were going to smaller companies. The average loan during the first round of funding was $206,000. The loans are aimed at helping small businesses retain workers or rehire those who they laid off in response to the virus outbreak. Any money from the loan used toward payroll will be forgiven. Restaurants, retailers, gyms and other businesses were forced to shut down to try to contain the virus’s spread, and other companies have seen a steep drop in revenue as customers stayed home or cut back their spending. The SBA did not immediately respond for a request for comment Tuesday on the delays. But in a memo the agency sent to banks at midday Tuesday and obtained by The Associated Press, the SBA said it would stop banks from using a system that automatically submits applications into the agency’s ETran system. Without that system, “the loan processing system will be more reliable, accessible and equitable for all businesses,” the memo said. At some banks, the change means having to manually submit the applications, a much slower process, said Nick Simpson, a spokesman for the Consumer Bankers Association. Others are able to submit applications in batches of more than 5,000, but it wasn’t known how or when the SBA would process them, he said. The $349 billion first round of funding was exhausted in less than two weeks. In this round, banks have reported that they were being allowed to submit only 350 applications an hour, if that many. Meanwhile, they have thousands on hand. “I don’t know of any bank who’s reaching 350 per hour,” said Richard Hunt, president of the Consumer Bankers Association. He said there appeared to be technical issues at the SBA similar to ones that held up processing early in the first round of funding. The Treasury, which oversees the loan program, has come under criticism for allowing large public companies to obtain loans, some of which have been returned. Speaking at the Tuesday press conference, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said any loans approved for more than $2 billion would be subject to SBA review before they’re paid.

The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, which represents 1.3 million food and retail workers, said last week that 13 U.S. food-processing and meatpacking union workers in the U.S. have died and that an estimated 5,000 are sick or have been exposed to the virus while working near someone who tested positive. COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, has infected hundreds of workers at meat-processing plants and forced some of the largest to close and others to slow production. While the output at beef and poultry plants has diminished, pork plants in the Midwest have been hit especially hard. The viral outbreaks have persisted despite efforts by the meat companies to keep workers at home with pay if they become sick.

One result, however, is when a shortage in one area brings about a shortage in another — kinda like the proverbial domino effect. Well, that’s what’s happening with some items whose scarcity has resulted in shortfalls in other areas. One example has Bill been the demand for face masks with Taylor some locations requiring individuals Contributing wear these protective devices. columnist Commercially produced masks have been allocated to medical and other first-line responders, leaving folks in the general public to fend for themselves. The response to this shortage has been for homemade masks by the hundreds of thousands if not millions being produced across the country — and that effort has brought on a second shortage. You see, these masks require a way of keeping them in place with the usual method being strips of elastic fastened to the sides of the mask and looped around the ears. The problem that has surfaced is a serious shortage of the elastic used for these loops. Several ladies who have made a number of masks have told me not only have they run out of elastic in their own caches of sewing materials, but their usual suppliers have run dry as well. Instead, they are resorting to making “ties” from material to provide a means for keeping the masks in place, but this is a less than desirable alternative. Oh, by the way, I understand most of that elastic material comes from — care to guess where? You got it — China. OK moving on. Probably the most highly publicized shortage — and the one which hit more millions of folks in this country than any other — has been that of toilet paper. Several stores I have visited recently still either have no stocks on their shelves or limit the number of rolls per customer. This phenomenon has impacted our society in a totally unanticipated way — that of generating a dramatic increase in the sales of bidets. Yep, that’s right, bidets are reportedly in short supply in response to the toilet paper shortage. Wonder what a “bidet” is? Time for some education. In general terms, a bidet is a plumbing fixture located near the toilet bowl and is designed to be sat on for the purpose of washing the human genital area, inner buttocks, and anus. It is intended to promote personal hygiene, and is employed after using the toilet, and before and after sexual intercourse and its use greatly reduces and may eliminate the need for toilet paper. By the way, “bidet” comes from a French word meaning “little horse” reportedly referring to the straddling position users must assume to use it. “Bidet” may be pronounced “bee day” or “bye day” or some version thereof. It’s French so who knows for sure. Anyway, bidets usually have had their own water supply and a drainage opening but more modern versions may combine a toilet seat with a washing capability consisting of several warm water jets and warm air drying. There are even bidets that may be attached to toilet bowls thus not requiring additional plumbing. One version that reportedly can be installed under an existing toilet seat in about 10 minutes consists of a hose connecting to the toilet’s water supply; a valve controlling the water pressure; and a nozzle directing the water stream. So why use a bidet? Well, proponents claim personal hygiene is improved by using bidets when compared with toilet paper — and some environmentalists claim millions of trees could be saved if this country used bidets instead of toilet paper. OK, back to the subject at hand. News stories indicate a dramatic increase in the sales of bidets. One bidet company reportedly got orders for 4,000 units in a single day and ordered another 50,000 units from its supplier. Another bidet company has described an eight-fold increase over last year’s sales and yet another that its online sales have nearly depleted its stocks. Yep, folks who follow such things figure the toilet paper shortage may well have been a “tipping point” for bidets in this country as evidenced by the near-shortage of these units — but bidets are commonly used in other parts of the world. We encountered bidets during the years we spent in Europe but never used them. For one thing we couldn’t figure out which way to sit on those contraptions. As for today’s versions, we would have to redo our bathrooms to accommodate one of those multi-jet warm water devices. Yep, one of those inexpensive toilet seat add-ons using a stream of cold water to wash my backside just wouldn’t measure up. At least that’s how it seems to me.

THEIR VIEW Joy of re-discovering re-reading If there is a silver lining to our current situation, it might be that our lives have slowed down. With the absence of our “daily grind” (whatever that consisted of) we can now take time to try new things and to relish those things that were crowded out by our busy daily routine.

The schedule is as Ohio Valley Publishing Hillary Clinton endorses Biden By Bill Barrow Associated Press Hillary Clinton, the first woman to become a major party’s presidential nominee, endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid on Tuesday, continuing Democrats’ efforts to coalesce around the former vice president as he takes on President Donald Trump. Clinton made her announcement during a Biden campaign town hall to discuss the coronavirus and its effect on women. Without mentioning Trump by name, Clinton assailed the Republican president and hailed Biden’s experience and temperament in com- parison. “Just think of what a difference it would make right now if we had a president who not only listened to Clinton the science ... but brought us together,” said Clinton, who lost the 2016 election despite leading Trump in the national popular vote. “Think of what it would mean if we had a real president,” Clinton continued, rather than a man who “plays one on TV.” Biden, as a former vice president and six-term senator, “has been preparing for this moment his entire life,” said Clin- ton, a former secretary of state. “This is a moment when we need a leader, a president like Joe Biden.” With her historic candidacy, Clinton remains a powerful — and complex — figure in American life. Her 2016 campaign inspired many women, and her loss to Trump resonates to this day. The female candidates in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary often faced skepticism that a woman could win the White House. Biden has pledged to select a woman as his vice president. Given her 2016 experi- ence, Clinton could offer Biden unique insight as he prepares for the November general election. Her endorsement is the latest example of leaders from across the Democratic spectrum rallying behind Biden. In recent weeks, Biden has picked up support from former President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leading progressives such as Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Hillary Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, has not yet publicly endorsed Biden and has kept a lower profile during the Trump era.

NFL to hold 2021 draft in Cleveland from April 29-May 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — After a successful virtual, stay-at-home experience this year, the NFL plans to hold its draft outdoors in downtown Cleveland next year from April 29 to May 1. The dates were announced Tuesday, three days after the completion of a unique draft that went smoothly despite logistical obstacles due to the COVID-19 pandemic. TV ratings soared over the weekend as fans soaked in every moment of a rare live sporting event held in recent months. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced this year’s selections for the first three rounds from his basement in suburban New York, and viewers got to see players react and celebrate at home with loved ones. “We successfully brought to life the first virtual NFL draft last week, and we are now very excited to work with Cleveland to incorporate some of the innovations and special access from 2020 into our planning for 2021,” said Peter O’Reilly, the league’s vice president of club business and league events. “We look forward to partnering with the Browns, the city of Cleveland, Greater Cleveland Sports Commission and Destination Cleveland to create a memorable celebration of football for such a passionate fan base and community.” The NFL officially awarded Cleveland the 2021 NFL draft last year. The Browns will be celebrating their 75th anniversary next year. Details are still being finalized, but the Cleveland draft will be held at locations around FirstEnergy Stadium and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “It’s such a great football town, with a huge number of draft fans,” O’Reilly said. “It was right there in the top three in market ratings this year, and they are very passionate about football. There are some unique things we can do with the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame and with the stadium. There’s an opportunity to bring in music and great artists into that environment and kind of `rock the clock.’” Browns exercise contract option on star Garrett, Njoku CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns didn’t have a major decision to make on Myles Garrett’s near future. Now they can begin working on keeping the star defensive end much longer. Cleveland exercised the fifth-year contract options Monday on Garrett and tight end David Njoku, whose time with the Browns appeared uncertain after some offseason business by the team. The decision on Garrett was not a surprise as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft has developed into the one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers. The former Texas A&M standout had seven sacks as a rookie, 13 1/2 in 2018 and was on his way to another big season in 2019 before he was indefinitely suspended for striking Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the head with a swung helmet in a Nov. 14 game. Garrett claimed Rudolph used a racial slur, which prompted his uncharacteristic outburst. Rudolph denied that accusation. Garrett missed Cleveland’s final six games, and was reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in February. Now that the Browns have him locked up through 2021 — Garrett will make a base salary of $4.6 million in 2020 and $15.1 million in the fifth year of his deal in 2021 — the team will likely try See BROWNS | 8 D-2 to Division I.

The track was scheduled to host a NASCAR auto race this weekend, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the race is being run virtually on NASCAR’s iRacing circuit. Sports will eventually start again and all signs indicate NASCAR is racing full speed ahead of the other major leagues in resuming competition. The sanctioning body is currently working on a revised schedule that could have NASCAR back on track in roughly three weeks. All eyes on NASCAR as it races toward restart CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Sports will eventually start again and all eyes are on NASCAR, which appears to be racing full speed ahead to get there. The sanctioning body is working on a revised schedule that could have NASCAR back on track in roughly three weeks. The May 9 race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia is the eighth postponement so far, but NASCAR hopes to race the following weekend. Any event would be without spectators, strict limitations on who can attend from each team and at a track within driving distance for the North Carolina-based teams. That would certainly favor Darlington Speedway in South Carolina for a one-day race either May 16 or 17. The Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway scheduled for May 24 could also be held on Memorial Day weekend for the 60th consecutive year if the North Carolina governor signs off. NASCAR has held only four of its 36 races and is desperate to get back to racing and generate revenue that has been on hold since early March. “I know we’ll be watching NASCAR. I know the IndyCar guys are in communication with NASCAR,” said Ed Carpenter, the only driver who is also a team owner in IndyCar. “A lot of the promoters are the same promoters. We’re all working together to try to understand how to do this, how to do it the right way to not only bring our racing back to the fans that want to see it, but also do it in a safe way to where we’re not going to create new issues during this pandemic.” NASCAR has been working on a protocol to protect team members and drivers, who are isolated in the cockpit of their car during competition. It has not shed any light on how it plans to maintain social distancing at the track or what sort of personal protective equipment will be required. NASCAR has also only given teams proposed new schedules and there have been many revisions because so much depends on details in each state. Just last week, Nort Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said NASCAR teams could return to their race shops as an essential business provided the work did not interfere with local stay-at-home orders and employees are able to socially distance. Previous local orders expire April 30, meaning teams could theoretically be back at work by the end of this week — if they know what to prepare for. Racing at Charlotte at the end of May is under review by Cooper and public health officials. South Carolina officials have said the state will host a “spring” race. The governors of Florida and Texas have invited NASCAR to compete there without spectators. Georgia has relaxed restrictions and Atlanta Motor Speedway is within driving distance. So is Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. Driver Alex Bowman believes the racing will be good whenever it resumes and the personalities will help carry the sport. “I would just assume less cameras and interviews and stuff like that, so some of that stuff might be cut down or have to be in a different format, but we’re all still the same people that we are,” Bowman said. “Clint Bowyer is still going to be hilarious; Kyle Busch is still going to have people mad at him.” Some racing has already started: Park Jefferson International Speedway in South Dakota raced on a dirt oval without spectators Saturday, while Tri-County Racetrack in North Carolina said it will have racing Thursday night without fans. NASCAR’s business model depends heavily on both sponsorship and television money and both have come to a stop. Championshipwinning crew chief Rodney Childers last week listed his golf cart, racing simulator, Peloton and other toys for sale after Stewart-Haas Racing became the final team in NASCAR to cut pay. Mike Tatoian, president of Dover International Speedway in Delaware, was supposed to host the first of two NASCAR Cup Series races this weekend. Instead, a virtual version of his track will be used in NASCAR’s iRacing Series as he awaits real competition. He said the track has laid off its maintenance team and furloughed a “handful of others” during the shutdown, but is still planning on hosting races this year. “Obviously all the ancillary income we get from tickets, merchandise, concessions, parking, camping, those dollars are critical to our business,” Tatoian said Monday. “But given the circumstances, like all the other businesses in the world, we are going to do the best we can. We’ve built budgets accordingly to if we have fans or we don’t have fans, but either way, we will get through this healthy and we’ll start 2021 in a good position.” Formula One now See NASCAR | 8 �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Wednesday, April 29, 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 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� RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.

Adjusting from college to the pros can be difficult during a normal offseason. And there is nothing normal about this one. Still, Colbert insisted the decision to take wide receiver Chase Claypool, linebacker Alex Highsmith, offensive lineman Kevin Dotson, safety Antoine Brooks and defensive tackle Carlos Davis — all of whom are on pace to graduate by the end of the summer — was based on their potential, not necessarily their experience. PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers love to pick younger players. A little more raw material. A little less tread on the tires. In this year’s draft, not so much. While general manager Kevin Colbert stressed it was coincidental that the Steelers used five of their six picks on seniors, if there ever was a spring to tilt toward prospects with an extra year of seasoning, this might be it. Neither Colbert nor head coach Mike Tomlin — or the rest of the NFL for that matter — knows how things will shake out over the next few months, With virtual college commencements and the uncertainty of high school graduations, HONOR YOUR SENIORS in this special way on a Yard Sign.
