See ROAST | 8 FOR THE RECORD Cities extend curfews; Cleveland commuters blocked TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s largest cities cleaned up Monday from a weekend of violent protests, with some extending emergency curfews over the next few days. Cleveland’s decision to continue its curfew two more days created confusion Monday morning, with downtown freeway exit ramps and streets blocked to traffic. Commuters weren’t allowed past roadblocks, backing up traffic on freeways. Mayor Frank Jackson’s order, issued Sunday, had said the downtown area was off limits to everyone except those who live or work there and people going to medical appointments. RUTLAND — For the first time in its 70 year history, the Rutland 4th of July Ox Roast has been canceled. Bruce Davis with the Rutland Volunteer Fire Department explained that the decision is not due to concerns over COVID-19, but due to the shortage and rising cost of the beef needed for Rutland’s famous roast beef, and the unavailability of fireworks. “It was not an easy choice,” said Davis, adding that there was a lot of discussion which went into the final decision. Davis explained that the fire department has, for many years, purchased fireworks from a company in Hudson, Ohio, but that the company is not currently in the office to sell the fireworks. A statement on Sunday from the Rutland Volunteer Fire Department Gov. Mike DeWine had called out the National Guard and highway patrol Saturday to help enforce laws in Cleveland and Columbus, where the mayors said more than 100 properties were damaged. Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said Monday the city’s curfew during evening hours will continue indefinitely. In Cincinnati, a nighttime curfew was extended through Monday. More than 100 people were arrested Sunday during protests sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minnesota. Floyd, a black man in handcuffs, died after a white officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for several AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

Protests also erupted over the weekend in Toledo, Akron, Dayton and smaller cities. The damage across the state was still being tallied. By Monday, most of the debris and broken glass in downtown Cleveland had been cleaned up. Among the few people on the streets were workers boarding up windows that had not been damaged. A crew used a power washer to clean graffiti from the county courthouse, which was closed to the public. Several departments in the building had been scheduled to reopen Monday for the first time since they were closed in March because of the coronavirus crisis. It was eerily quiet even during the lunch hour as most businesses were closed. Cleveland fire officials said four police cruisers were torched and a fire truck and an ambulance were damaged. First responders were injured, none seriously, officials said. While the weekend demonstrations were centered in Ohio’s larger downtowns, some spilled into the suburbs and small cities. In Toledo, protesters marched from a shopping mall to a wealthy suburb on Sunday, spreading out face down on the street and chanting “I can’t breathe.” Lieving retires from Farmers Bank company as a valued member of their Board of Directors and as a member of the Board of POMEROY — President of Directors of their holding comFarmers Bank’s West Virginia pany, Farmers Bancshares, Inc.

All three are asymptomatic, and the cases are not believed to be related. University and public health officials do not believe any of the three contracted the virus on campus. According to Tracy Smith, director of the university’s Office of Environmental Health and Safety, his office is working with Marshall Health physicians Dr. Larry Dial and Dr. John Jasko, and Athletics Department staff to make sure all protocols are being followed. These measures include: · All student-athletes arriving on campus are in mandatory selfisolation for one week; · Following the completion of the self-isolation period, all student-athletes are tested for COVID-19 and must return a confirmed negative result before being allowed out of self-isolation; · All Athletics Department employees who come in close contact with student-athletes are being tested; and · Any student-athlete returning a positive test is required to quarantine and follow positive test guidelines. A student-athlete who tests positive will be required to secure a negative test before completing the quarantine period. The two student-athletes and the employee who tested positive are all in quarantine. Their close contacts are being identified and instructed to follow appropriate protocols, including quarantine or self-isolation, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Cabell Huntington Health Department. If you are not contacted, your risk of exposure from the student-athletes or the employee is low. “It really isn’t surprising that we’ve had these positive test results, given the prevalence of the virus across the country,” said Smith. “The processes we put in place ahead of time are working well and we will keep working our plan, with the safety of our campus community as our top priority.” Due to privacy regulations, the affected student-athletes’ and employee’s names and other identifying information will not be released. Other than these three cases and the two employees reported in April, the university has had no other confirmed cases of COVID19 among employees, students in the residence halls or studentathletes. It is essential members of the university community continue to follow Centers for Disease Control guidelines for safety and health and the instructions in the university’s Return-to-Workplace Guide. The health and safety of employees and students continues to be Marshall University’s top priority. For university updates regarding COVID-19, please visit www.marshall.edu/coronavirus.

Floyd’s brother pleads for peace Trump takes combative tone By Aaron Morrison and Matt Sedensky Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — George Floyd’s brother pleaded for peace in the streets Monday, saying destruction is “not going to bring my brother back at all,” while President Donald Trump berated most of the nation’s governors as “weak” for not cracking down harder on the lawlessness that has convulsed cities from coast to coast. The competing messages — one conciliatory, one bellicose — came as the U.S. braced for another round of violence at a time when the country is already buckling because of the coronavirus outbreak and the Depressionlevel unemployment it has caused. “We are a country that is scared. We are a country that is angry,” said Sam Page, county executive in St. Louis County, Missouri, where the city of Ferguson has been synonymous with the Black Lives Matter movement since the 2014 death of Michael Brown, a black 18-year-old, in a clash with a white officer. “And we are a country that is holding out for the promise of justice for all.” In Minneapolis, Floyd’s brother, Terrence, made an emotional plea at the site where Floyd was pinned to the pavement by an officer who put his knee on the handcuffed black man’s neck until he stopped breathing. “Let’s switch it up, y’all. Let’s switch it up. Do this peacefully, please,” Terrence Floyd said. The crowd chanted, “What’s his name? George Floyd!” and “One down, three to go!” in reference to the four officers involved in Floyd’s arrest. Officer Derek Chauvin has been charged with murder, but protesters are demanding that his colleagues be prosecuted, too. All four were fired. The gathering was part rally and part impromptu eulogy as Floyd urged people to stop the violence and use their power at the ballot box. “If I’m not over here messing up my community, then what are you all doing?” he said. “You all are doing nothing. Because that’s not going to bring my brother back GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS RACO yard sale RACINE — RACO Yard Sale at Star Mill Park in Racine, June 4-6.

Estimated completion: November 20, 2020 Lieving at all.” The country has been beset by angry demonstrations for the past week in some of the most widespread racial unrest in the U.S. since the 1960s. Spurred in part by Floyd’s death, protesters have taken to the streets to decry the killings of black people by police. While most of the demonstrations have been peaceful, others have descended into violence, leaving neighborhoods in shambles, stores ransacked, windows broken and cars burned, despite curfews around the country and the deployment of thousands of National Guard members in at least 15 states. Trump told the nation’s governors in a video conference that they they “look like fools” for not deploying even more National Guard troops. “Most of you are weak,” he said. He added: “You’ve got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you’ll never see this stuff again.”a Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, dismissed Trump’s comments as the “rantings of an insecure man trying to look strong after building his entire political career on racism.” Former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, vowed to address institutional racism in his first 100 days in office. He met in person with black leaders in Delaware and also held a virtual meeting with big-city mayors. Biden said hate emerges “when you have somebody in power who breathes oxygen into the hate.” Meanwhile, an autopsy commissioned for Floyd’s family found that he died of asphyxiation from neck and back compression, the family’s attorneys said. That distinguishes it from the official autopsy, which said he died from the effects of being restrained along with underlying health problems and potential intoxicants in his system. The official autopsy found nothing “to support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” The second autopsy was done by a doctor who also examined the body of Eric Garner, a New York man who died in an officer’s chokehold six years ago. As it girded for more violence, New York joined other cities in announcing a curfew, set to begin at 11 p.m. The move followed a chaotic Sunday night in which groups of people broke into Chanel, Prada and Rolex boutiques and electronics stores. At the same time, Mayor Bill de Blasio said the law-breaking in the city of 8.3 million people was “fomented by a very small number of violent protesters.” At least 4,400 people nationwide have been arrested over the past week for such offenses as stealing, blocking highways and breaking curfew, according to a count by The Associated Press. Police officers and National Guard soldiers enforcing a curfew in Louisville, Kentucky, killed a man early Monday when they returned fire after someone in a large group shot at them, police said. In Indianapolis, two people were reported dead in bursts of downtown violence over the weekend, adding to deaths recorded in Detroit and Minneapolis. While police in places tried to ease tensions by kneeling or marching in solidarity with the demonstrators, officers around the country were accused of treating protesters with the same kind of heavy-handed tactics that contributed to the unrest in the first place. Cities struggled to keep police in line. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, an officer was suspended for pushing a kneeling woman to the ground during a protest. In Atlanta, two officers were fired after bashing in the window of a car and using a stun gun on the occupants. In Los Angeles, a police SUV accelerated into several protesters, knocking two people to the ground. From page 1 southeast Ohio, and later joined the Peoples Bank of West Virginia (now City National Bank) as a consumer loan officer where he was promoted through the ranks to the position of President of the Ohio Valley Region. Known for his reputation as a Banker, he was recruited in 2002 by the Farmers Bank & Savings Co. to lead their expansion into West Virginia. Under Lieving’s leadership, Farmers Bank built and grew successful offices in Mason, Point Pleasant and Hurricane, West Virginia. In addition to serving as the President of the West Virginia Division for the Bank, Mike expanded his scope in 2012 to include responsibility as the Bank’s Chief Lending Officer and Retail Administrative Officer for all of the Bank’s locations.

IN BRIEF Black Liberty U. alums rebuke Falwell after blackface tweet NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly three dozen black alumni of Liberty University denounced school President Jerry Falwell Jr. on Monday, suggesting he step down after he mocked Virginia’s mask-wearing requirement by invoking the blackface scandal that engulfed the state’s governor last year. In a letter to Falwell, shared with The Associated Press, 35 faith leaders and former student-athletes told Falwell that his past comments “have repeatedly violated and misrepresented” Christian principles. They said they would stop urging students to attend Liberty, would no longer donate to the university, and would urge fellow people of faith to avoid speaking at the school unless Falwell changes his behavior or steps aside. “You have belittled staff, students and parents, you have defended inappropriate behaviors of politicians, encouraged violence, and disrespected people of other faiths,” they wrote, advising Falwell that “your heart is in politics more than Christian academia or ministry.” Falwell, a stalwart backer of President Donald Trump, is the son of the late evangelist the Rev. Jerry Falwell, whose legacy the alumni invoked in imploring the younger Falwell to “stop this infantile behavior.” In response, Falwell said his comment about the blackface scandal was made in defense of Liberty students, including minorities, who would be affected by tuition assistance cuts proposed by Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat. Falwell said his involvement in politics was in the spirit of Jesus Christ, “who was not silent about the establishment political folks of his era.” Military: 2 dead after shooting at North Dakota air base GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A shooting early Monday has left two airmen dead at the Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota, the military said. The base’s emergency services members responded to the shooting, which occurred at 4:30 a.m., a statement from the military said. Officials said there is no risk to other personnel, and the shooting remains under investigation. The airmen are members of the 319th Reconnaissance Wing. Officials plan to withhold their names and units until 24 hours after family members are notified. Medical teams are providing disaster mental health services to help people who are affected, the base said. Staff Sgt. Elijaih Tiggs said the military alone is investigating. He would not say if anyone was in custody or was being sought in connection with the shooting. The base specializes in unmanned aircraft operations and is located about 15 miles west of Grand Forks. The base is home to about 1,600 military members and 900 civilian employees, Tiggs said.

But after another night of violent protests, he ventured out into public for the second time in two days and just the third time since the pandemic arrived in mid March. His hopeful and collaborative approach marked a sharp contrast to that of President Donald Trump, who has made little effort to unify the country. The Republican president slammed governors as “weak” during a video teleconference on Monday and demanded tougher crackdowns on protesters. Trump also lashed out at Biden on Twitter, writing that “Sleepy Joe Biden’s people are so Radical Left that they are working to get the Anarchists out of jail, and probably more.” Biden’s softer style may foreshadow how he presents himself in the five months before the presidential election, emphasizing calm and competence as a contrast to a mercurial president. It is an approach that carries the risk of being drowned out by Trump’s much louder voice. “He’s not in office, and he certainly does not have the megaphone like the person currently occupying the White House does, but I do think our people are looking for someone who can make them feel better during these extremely tough times,” said Rep. Val Demings of Florida, whom Biden is considering as a running mate. “America just needs to be reassured that there’s someone who’s understanding, someone who’s willing to say, ‘Yes, we do have some issues,’ and someone who’s willing to address it.” �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Tuesday, June 2, 2020 5 By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� OH-70187338 Special Financing Available Subject to Credit Approval *Terms & Conditions Apply � � � � � � � � � Offer valid March 16, 2020 - June 30, 2020 � � � � � � � � � FREE 7-Year Extended Warranty* A $695 Value! � � � � � � � � � 866-582-4791 � � � � � � � � � SCHEDULE YOUR FREE IN-HOME ASSESSMENT TODAY! � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� Prepare for unexpected power outages with a Generac home standby generator � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner DENNIS THE MENACE Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO THE LOCKHORNS Hank Ketcham’s � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � �Sports 6 Tuesday, June 2, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing Another win falls into Keselowski’s lap in final moments Mark Humphrey | AP Brad Keselowski (2) celebrates after winning a NASCAR Cup Series auto race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn., on Saturday. BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Brad Keselowski has a new crew and is fighting for a new contract at Team Penske. His confidence is still intact and he’s convinced he can compete for a championship this year. Being in the right place at the right time is helping. Keselowski inherited his second win in a week when the leaders crashed in front of him with a lap remaining Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway. He won the Coca-Cola 600 seven nights ago at Charlotte Motor Speedway when a caution with two laps remaining helped him get to victory lane. “I felt like I was in Las Vegas,” Keselowski said about the Bristol win. “I went from having a bad hand to a full house real quick.” The victory dropped into Keselowski’s lap when Chase Elliott and Joey Logano collided as they raced for the win. Keselowski was third with a lap and a turn remaining when opportunity opened. Logano cleared Elliott for the lead with three to go, but Elliott stalked him while seeking his second win in three days. They made contact in the fourth turn and drifted into the wall as Keselowski slid past. He had just one trip around the 0.533-mile concrete bullring to close the victory. “We were in position and able to strike when it counted,” Keselowski said. “Joey and Chase got together there. I don’t know what all caused it, but we were just in position to strike and here we are in victory lane.” Keselowski, hoping to get an extension with Team Penske, won the 600 when a caution with two to go snatched the win from Elliott. Keselowski inherited the lead when Elliott pitted. Keselowski held on for that victory at Elliott’s expense and now is the first driver to win multiple races in the five Cup events since NASCAR resumed May 17. “There’s so much going on in the world, I am just thankful I get to be a race car driver and do this,” Keselowski said after giving Ford its third win in five races. Logano finished 21st and Elliott was 22nd. Logano stared Elliott down as the two climbed from their cars but Elliott never looked in See WIN | 7 MLB players offer 114-game season, no more $ cuts NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball players ignored claims by clubs that they need to take additional pay cuts, instead proposing they receive a far higher percentage of salaries and commit to a longer schedule as part of a counteroffer to start the coronavirus-delayed season. Players proposed a 114-game regular season Sunday, up from 82 in management’s offer, a person familiar with the plan told The Associated Press. Done that way, the World Series could extend past Thanksgiving. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because no details were announced. Opening day would be June 30 and the regular season would end Oct. 31, nearly five weeks after the Sept. 27 conclusion that MLB’s proposal stuck to from the season’s original schedule. The union offered scheduling flexibility to include more doubleheaders as baseball crams the games into 123 days, leaving little room for days off. MLB’s proposal Tuesday would lower 2020 salaries from about $4 billion to approximately $1.2 billion. The union’s offer would have salaries total about $2.8 billion. The plan was given to MLB during an 80-minute digital meeting among Commissioner Rob Manfred, deputy commissioner Dan Halem, union head Tony Clark and union chief negotiator Bruce Meyer. The meeting was contentious, a person familiar with it said. Like MLB, the union would increase postseason teams from 10 to 14. But unlike MLB, the players’ proposal would extend the postseason about a month past its usual end. MLB has said it is worried about a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks in the autumn. While management proposed an expanded postseason for 2020 only, the union offered it for this year and next. Players proposed new events that could increase revenue, such as a postseason or offseason All-Star Game and/or Home Run Derby, to wear broadcast microphones on the field and to participate in television programming away from ballparks. They also asked for $100 million more in salary to be advanced during the resumption of spring training. A player would receive about 70% of his salary, or 114/162nds, under the union plan. The union and MLB agreed March 26 that players would receive prorated shares of salaries, part of the deal in which if the season is scrapped each player was guaranteed service time for 2020 matching what he earned in 2019. The union also was guaranteed $170 million in salary advances. While the union says salaries were dealt with then, that agreement covered only games in regular-season ballparks and with fans. The deal called for “good faith” negotiations for games without fans or at neutral sites. MLB told the union that players would get 89% of revenue in an 82-game schedule with prorated salaries and clubs would combine to lose $640,000 for each additional game. The union has questioned the accounting. MLB’s offer called for spring training to resume in mid-June and for the season to start around the Fourth of July. The club proposal would take the prorated salaries and reduce them again in a sliding scale. Those at the $563,500 minimum would get about 47% and those at the top — led by Mike Trout and Gerrit Cole at $36 million — would receive less than 23%. Management proposed $200 million of salaries would be contingent on the postseason’s completion. All players would have the right to opt out of the season under the union plan.

The 2020 gridiron campaign received a bit of a lifeline on Friday with the three-phase restart program announced by the WVSSAC. WVSSAC announces summer restart plan By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com CHARLESTON, W.Va. — It’s a big step in the right direction. The West Virginia high school sports world took a promising leap forward on Friday afternoon as Governor Jim Justice announced that summer youth events, including high school athletics, could resume starting Monday, June 8. Shortly after Governor Justice’s announcement, the West Virginia Secondary Schools Athletic Commission issued a statement on the guidelines for school-based summer athletics — built for both a non-sport specific period that will focus on strength and conditioning as well as the three week period in which sport specific activities may take place. Besides the Governor’s office, the WVSSAC also worked with the West Virginia Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Resources, and the National Federation of High School Schools in establishing the summer guidelines. The guidelines call for a three phase strength and conditioning period that can start beginning June 8. Additional guidelines are included for the three week period which starts for many counties on July 6. A look at the guide- lines through each of the three phases of the WVSSAC plan.
