The advisory comes approximately three weeks after the “Stay Safe Ohio” order and nearly two months after the original “Stay at Home” order. “We are now moving from orders to strong recommendations. This is a new phase in our battle against COVID19, and it is incumbent upon each of us to protect each other,” said Governor Mike DeWine in Tuesday’s news conference. “Ohioans take care of Ohioans because that is at the core of who we are, and that is how we are going to save our economy,” said DeWine. “What this comes down to now is that each of us has a responsibility to each other to slow the spread. No other time in our lives will our individual actions play a greater role in saving lives.” The health order replaces language requiring Ohioans to stay at home with limited exceptions with language that strongly recommends that citizens, especially those who are high-risk, stay at home as much as possible. The “urgent health advisory,” explained the Governor incorporates parts of the previous orders, while lifting some of the previous restrictions. The advisory includes the requirements for six feet of social distancing, a limit of 10 people on gatherings, frequent hand-washing and sanitizing efforts. Also included are all the previous requirements and orders related to the operation of businesses, including employees wearing masks and sanitizing procedure. The advisory focuses on the most vulnerable population, who could be impacted more by the virus. The order strongly recommends that high-risk Ohioans stay at home as much as possible and avoid places where they are likely to encounter a lot of people. All other Ohioans, under the advisory, are recommended to stay in their place of residence, but it is not required. The new health advisory also lifts overall travel restrictions and the requirement to quarantine if someone travels to or returns to Ohio. Unnecessary travel within or outside of Ohio is not encouraged. “The coronavirus is not gone. It is real. And it is deadly. This new phase that we are now in is about learning to live with this virus. It is with us — it will remain with us — and we must do all we can to contain it and keep it from killing our fellow citizens,” said DeWine. As of the 2 p.m. update on Tuesday, Ohio had a total of 27,106 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with 1,846 probable cases for a total of 28,952 cases. To date, there have been 1,556 confirmed COVID-19 deaths, plus 164 probable deaths, for a total of 1,720 deaths. To date, Gallia County has had seven reported cases (five confirmed, two probable) and Meigs County has had three reported cases (two confirmed, one probable).

Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Gage Barrett walks across the stage to receive his diploma from Southern Local Board of Education President Brenda Johnson. Tornadoes receive diplomas By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — “The end of this school year was unplanned. But life is, and always will be, like a roller coaster. In life we experience incredible highs and extreme lows. I encourage you to stay humble during the highs and hopeful during the lows,” said Southern High School Valedictorian Baylee Wolfe as she addressed her classmates during Southern’s graduation. “This last challenge life has thrown at us is just another look at the rest of our lives. Life does not go as planned; it is unpredictable. But it is great too,” added Wolfe. During her address, Wolfe looked that The Proportional Theory of time as studied by Janet Paul in 1897. “Although we are far from understanding the fundamental concepts of time, there is one thing we all know and recognize; the more time you have lived, the shorter time feels.” Wolfe continued, “The theory is based on the idea that each unit of time which passes now must be a smaller fraction of a person’s life that Courtesy of Bartee Photography Graduates placed their caps around the memorial display for classmate Chase Roush. that same unit of time in the past. … According to the Proportional Theory, while our age still seems young, our relative amount of time is actually halfway over. This may seem scary, but it is important nevertheless. Time like money, loses value as we age.” “Neither $100 nor 100 seconds will be work as much when we are 60 as it does now. The moral of this story is that time is subject to inflation. You need to invest your time now. So, don’t push away your dreams and desires no matter how wild or difficult they may seem,” said Wolfe. “Step outside of your comfort zone, educate yourself, and seek new and exciting experiences. Do what you want now, because life is too short, and time is running out.” Wolfe concluded, “I cannot wait to see what the class of 2020 does with the second half of their time. So, remember, invest your time, because it has already started flying and will not stop anytime soon.” In her Salutatorian Address, Reedy reflected on her time since coming to Southern Local in the sixth grade. “I have only been at Southern since sixth grade, but it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the community here at the school. Each level of school brought on new challenges, however each challenge was an opportunity to grow, and I have watched my peers take advantage of this,” said Reedy. Reedy recalled finding out where she fit in during her junior high years, and then the start of her high school days. “I remember that while I was scheduling See DIPLOMAS | 8 PVH nationally recognized with ‘A’ rating Staff Report POINT PLEASANT — According to a recent press release from Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH), the facility was “honored with an ‘A’ Hospital Patient Safety Grade by The Leapfrog Group, the nation’s leading nonprofit watchdog on hospital quality and safety, in its Spring 2020 report card.” This achievement marks the fourth time within a four-year period that PVH has earned the top “A” rating. The press release further stated: “Pleasant Valley Hospital is the only hospital in the state of West Virginia and the only hospital in the Ohio Valley Region to receive an ‘A’ rating. The Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections, and other harms among patients in their care.” “It is truly an honor to be the only hospital in the Ohio Valley Region to have earned an ‘A’ rating for patient safety. This represents awesome recognition of all of the hard work our caregivers have put into creating a place where patients receive topquality care in a clean and safe environment.

Ohio’s wild turkey hunting season concludes in south zone OHIO — Hunters have harvested 15,718 wild turkeys after four weeks of Ohio’s 2020 spring hunting season. Wild turkey hunting ended Sunday, May 17 in Ohio’s south zone. The season continues until Sunday, May 31 in the northeast zone (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake and Trumbull counties). Hunters harvested 17,619 wild turkeys during the first four weeks of the 2019 season. The top 10 counties for wild turkey harvest following the completion of the 2020 south zone hunting season include: Belmont (486), Monroe (460), Guernsey (459), Tuscarawas (458), Meigs (446), Muskingum (434), Washington (429), Harrison (411), Coshocton (404) and Brown (393). In Gallia County, 362 turkeys were harvested. Youth hunters harvested 1,843 wild turkeys during Ohio’s youth season on April 18-19. The Ohio Division of Wildlife began an extensive program in the 1950s to reintroduce wild turkeys to the Buckeye State. Ohio’s first modern day wild turkey season opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked 12 birds. The total number of harvested turkeys topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984. Turkey hunting was opened statewide in 2000. Information from the Ohio Division of Wildlife.

Trump’s revelation a day earlier that he was taking hydroxychloroquine caught many in his administration by surprise and set off an urgent effort by officials to justify his action. But their attempt to address the concerns of health professionals was undercut by the president himself. He asserted without evidence that a study of veterans raising alarm about the drug was “false” and an “enemy statement,” even as his own government warned that the drug should be administered for COVID19 only in a hospital or research setting. “If you look at the one survey, the only bad survey, they were giving it to people that were in very bad shape,” Trump said. That was an apparent reference to a study of hundreds of patients treated by the Department of Veterans Affairs in which more of those in a group who were administered hydroxychloroquine died than among those who weren’t. “They were very old. Almost dead,” Trump said. “It was a Trump enemy statement.” During a Cabinet meeting, he elicited a defense of his practice from other officials, including VA Secretary David Wilkie who noted that the study in question was not conducted by his agency. But the drug has not been shown to combat the virus in a multitude of other studies as well. Two large observational studies, each involving Evan Vucci | AP President Donald Trump speaks during a Cabinet meeting Tuesday in the East Room of the White House in Washington. around 1,400 patients in New York, recently found no COVID benefit from hydroxychloroquine. Two new ones published last week in the medical journal BMJ reached the same conclusion. Trump said he decided to take hydroxychloroquine after two White House staffers tested positive for the disease, but he already had spent months promoting the drug as a potential cure or preventive despite the cautionary advice of many of his administration’s top medical professionals. “This is an individual decision to make,” Trump told reporters during a visit to Capitol Hill to meet with Senate Republicans. He later claimed, “It’s gotten a bad reputation only because I’m promoting it.” Many studies are testing hydroxychloroquine for preventing or limiting coronavirus illness but “at this point in time there’s absolutely no evidence that this strategy works,” said Dr. Carlos del Rio, an infectious disease specialist at Emory University in Atlanta. “My concern is, the president has a big bully pulpit ... maybe people will think there’s some non-public evidence” that the drug works because Trump has chosen to use it, del Rio said. “It creates this conspiracy theory that something works and they’re not telling me about it yet.” Addressing concerns that Trump’s example could lead people to misuse the drug, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that “tens of millions of people around the world have used this drug for other purposes,” including malaria prophylaxis. She emphasized, “You have to have a prescription. That’s the way it must be done.” The drug is also prescribed for some lupus and arthritis patients. Trump said his doctor did not recommend hydroxychloroquine to him, but that he requested it from the White House physician. That physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said in a statement that, after “numerous discussions” with Trump, “we concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweighed the relative risks.” The Food and Drug Administration warned health professionals last month that the drug should not be used to treat COVID-19 outside of hospital or research settings due to sometimes fatal side effects. Regulators issued the alert, in part, based on increased reports of dangerous side effects called in to U.S. poison control centers. Calls to centers involving hydroxychloroquine increased last month to 96, compared with 49 in April 2019, according to data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers provided to the AP. It was the second month of elevated reports involving the drug, following 79 calls in March. The problems reported included abnormal heart rhythms, seizures, nausea and vomiting. Trump dismissed reports of side effects, claiming, “What has been determined is it doesn’t harm you. Very powerful drug, I guess, but it doesn’t harm you.” He added, “I’ve had no impact from it.” FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn said in an emailed statement Tuesday: “The decision to take any drug is ultimately a decision between a patient and their doctor.” As research started to emerge that hydroxychloroquine was not helpful, and even potentially harmful, in battling COVID-19, the president’s public rhetoric in support of the drug had faded. But his private hopes had not, according to three White House officials and Republicans close to the White House not authorized to speak publicly about private discussions. Trump also lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling her a “sick woman” who has “a lot of mental problems” after she questioned Trump’s use of the drug because he is 73 and “morbidly obese.” Her comments were followed by Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who told MSNBC that Trump’s move was “reckless, reckless, reckless.“ At least two White House staffers tested positive for COVID19 earlier this month, sparking concerns about the steps taken by the administration to protect the president and sending Vice President Mike Pence and other officials into varying forms of self-isolation.

Public health For example, the experts say that can May 7 totals came right before April 26, which was followed by May 3. A quick look at the graph made it appear as if the decline was smoother than it really was. The graph was taken down within about a day. Georgia state Rep. Jasmine Clark, a Democrat with a doctorate in microbiology, said the graph was a “prime example of malfeasance.” “Sadly it feels like there’s been an attempt to make the data fit the narrative, and that’s not how data works,” she said. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s office denied there was any attempt to deceive the public. Guidelines from the Trump administration say that before states begin reopening, they should see a 14-day downward trend in infections. However, some states have reopened when infections were still climbing or had plateaued. States have also been instructed to expand testing and contact tracing. The U.S. has recorded 1.5 million confirmed infections and over 90,000 deaths. Vermont and Virginia said they stopped combining the two types of tests in the past few days. Still, health officials in Virginia, where Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam has eased up on restrictions, said that combining the numbers caused “no difference in overall trends.” In Texas, where health officials said last week that they were including some antibody results in their testing totals and case counts, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday that the numbers were not being commingled. Health officials did not respond to requests for clarification. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing Free vein screening at Holzer GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The next Holzer Vein Screening will be held at Gallipolis, Ohio, on Tuesday, June 9 from 4-6 p.m. Appointments are required for the service. The screening is free for all individuals. The screening includes a brief questionnaire about medications and medical conditions that could increase the risk of venous disease, simple ultrasound scan to measure critical vein function and identify vein blockages that contribute to venous congestion, and an examination for signs of chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins and other conditions that could contribute to venous problems. The screening process takes about 15-20 minutes. Those with abnormal findings are encouraged to contact their physicians directly and will receive disease-appropriate educational materials.

(AP) — A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that a salvage firm can retrieve the Marconi wireless telegraph machine that broadcast distress calls from the sinking Titanic ocean liner. In an order released Monday, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith agreed that the telegraph is historically and culturally important and could soon be lost within the rapidly decaying wreck site. Smith wrote that recovering the telegraph “will contribute to the legacy left by the indelible loss of the Titanic, those who survived, and those who gave their lives in the sinking.” Smith is the maritime jurist who presides over Titanic salvage matters from a federal court in Norfolk. Her ruling modifies a previous judge’s order from the year 2000 that forbids cutting into the shipwreck or detaching any part of it. The Titanic had been traveling from England to New York when it struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the 2,208 passengers and crew. �CLASSIFIEDS 4 Wednesday, May 20, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing EMPLOYMENT MERCHANDISE Help Wanted General (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Appliances VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT Rutland Township is accepting applications for a parttime equipment operator/general maintenance person.

That’s still Corinne LeQuere, a climate the biggest annual drop in carbon emissions since World scientist at the University of East Anglia.

Outside experts praised the study as the most comprehensive yet, saying it shows how much effort is needed to prevent dangerous levels of further global warming. “That underscores a simple truth: Individual behavior alone ... won’t get us there,” Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann, who wasn’t part of the study, said in an email. “We need fundamental structural change.” If the world could keep up annual emission cuts like this without a pandemic for a couple decades, there’s a decent chance Earth can avoid warming another 1.8 degrees (1 degree Celsius) of warming from now, study authors said. But getting the type of yearly cuts to reach that international goal is unlikely, they said. If next year returns to 2019 pollution levels, it means the world has only bought about a year’s delay in hitting the extra 1.8 degrees (1 degree Celsius) of warming that leaders are trying to avoid, LeQuere said. That level could still occur anywhere from 2050 to 2070, the authors said. The study was carried out by Global Carbon Project, a consortium of international scientists that produces the authoritative annual estimate of carbon dioxide emissions. They looked at 450 databases showing daily energy use and introduced a measurement scale for pandemic-related societal “confinement” in its estimates. Nearly half the emission reductions came from less transportation pollution, mostly involving cars and trucks, the authors said. By contrast, the study found that drastic reductions in air travel only accounted for 10% of the overall pollution drop. In the U.S., the biggest pollution declines were seen in California and Washington with plunges of more than 40%.

Reacting to a lack of diversity progress in hirings for those jobs, the league will require teams to interview at least two minority candidates from outside the organization for head coach openings. At least one minority candidate must be interviewed for a coordinator’s spot, the people told the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the NFL has not announced the rule additions. The rule, named after the late Dan Rooney, who owned the Pittsburgh Steelers, was adopted in 2003. It has had some impact, but in the recent spate of coach hirings, few have gone to minority candidates. During a Super Bowl week news conference, Commissioner Roger Goodell admitted that changes were needed to the rule. Those changes are coming now. Team owners will hold a conference call Tuesday that replaces the scheduled spring meeting in California. They will vote on two proposed resolutions that would allow assistant coaches to be interviewed at any time for coordinators’ jobs elsewhere. The other proposal would use draft pick positioning as an incentive to hire more diverse candidates in the coach and general manager position. The changes and proposals were first reported by NFL Network. “The Rooney Rule does not force someone or cannot mandate that someone gets hired,” NFL Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent told the AP last season. “What it does is mandates that there is a diverse slate of prospects. “Many will say it’s not about a number just because of the number of men of color that play, there should be a certain number of head coaches or general managers or (team) presidents,” added Vincent, who is black. Team presidents and other top-level executives posts are being addressed with these changes. “We’ve got to look at the entire landscape,” Vincent said. “We should be looking at diversity among all disciplines in our sport.” After the 2018 season, eight head coaches lost their jobs. Only one opening was filled by a minority candidate, Brian Flores in Miami. Following last season, five jobs came open and one minority, Ron Rivera, was hired, by Washington. That makes four minority head coaches out of a possible 32 in the league: Flores, Rivera, Mike Tomlin of Pittsburgh and Anthony Lynn of the Los Angeles Chargers. The NFL has only two general managers of color, Andrew Berry in Cleveland and Chris Grier in Miami. Tony Dungy, the first African-American head coach to win a Super Bowl and a strong advocate for diversity in the NFL, believes the spirit of the Rooney Rule has not been adhered to in recent years. “What I think has happened is people have said, `Let me interview a minority candidate to satisfy the rule, and then I can get on with this hiring process or hire who I want to,” the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach said. “The whole point of it was to slow down the process, take your time, get the best candidate and make a decision. OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Rio hosting Jim Marshall Memorial golf outing JACKSON, Ohio — The Veterans Association at the University of Rio Grande will host their 3rd annual Jim Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, June 13, at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County.

Ohio Valley Publishing LeBron: ‘Not giving up on the season’ By Tim Reynolds Associated Press LeBron James reiterated Monday that he is hopeful the NBA season can resume, with the caveat that the health and well-being of players won’t be jeopardized by a return to play. The Los Angeles Lakers star, speaking on the Uninterrupted platform’s “WRTS: After Party” show that was released Monday, said it remains his wish that the season comes back “sooner than later.” The NBA suspended the season on March 11 because of the coronavirus pandemic, and two unidentified members of the Lakers were among the league’s players who subsequently tested positive for the virus. “Definitely not giving up on the season,” James said. “Not only myself and my teammates, the Lakers organization, we want to play. There’s a lot of players that I know personally that want to play. And obviously, we don’t ever want to jeopardize the health of any of our players or any of the players’ families and so on and so on. “This is a pandemic that we have no idea (about). We can’t control it,” James added. James was among a group of some of the league’s highest-paid players, National Basket- ball Players Association president Chris Paul of the Oklahoma City Thunder also part of the group, who met last week to talk about the season. Those players affirmed to one another on that call that they would like to see the season resume. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told players’ union members on May 8 that he was hoping to make some sort of decision about the future of the season within no more than a four-week window. By that timeframe — barring any adjustments based on what’s happening with the pandemic — Silver and the NBA would be hoping to decide upon some course of action by June 5. That said, there has been no definitive timetable from the NBA on when a decision would be made. The league is prepping for many options. As of Monday, just over half of the league’s 30 franchises had reopened their practice facilities for voluntary workouts. But other sports are showing promising signs, with NASCAR restarting its season this past weekend, baseball working through some plans that could lead to a summer opening day, and live golf returning to television Sunday with a skins game in South Florida.

It was my dream to be where I am today,” said Reedy. Looking to sophomore and junior year, Reedy said, “I met amazing student teachers, and had teachers that encouraged me through every step of the way. The years felt shorter, the classes felt longer.” “Senior year was here. … I spent more time with friends, and I stressed about school a little less. I wanted to make memories,” said Reedy. “Looking back, that’s what I should have been doing all along.” Reedy concluded, “Even now as we graduate from Southern High School, I hope you make your memories, they’ll last forever. Cherish those who are around you, and appreciate the gifts in life. It took me 18 years of life, and 12 years of school to figure things out. Don’t let it take you that long.” Due to COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions, the graduation ceremony for the Southern High School Class of 2020 was taped during a drivethrough style event on May 8 by teacher Darren Jackson who put together the video released over the weekend in conjunction with the originally scheduled May 17 graduation date. The video includes a welcome by Phoenix Cleland, President of the Class of 2020; invocation by Shelby Cleland, VP Class of 2020; Pledge of Allegiance lead by Parker Corbitt, Student Council President; the Salutatorian Address by Raeven Reedy; the Valedictorian Address by Baylee Wolfe; Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Caitlin Carr receives her diploma from Board President Brenda Johnson.
