Activities planned for this weekend

After record losses,
Ohio job claims high
but still dropping
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — More than 34,000
Ohioans ﬁled unemployment claims during the
last week of May, the state reported Thursday.
That’s the lowest ﬁgure since Ohio’s stay-at-home
orders depressed the economy and led to widespread layoffs.
The claims are still among the highest on record
in the state over the past few decades, according
to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
The 34,575 claims ﬁled for the week ending
May 30 are down from about 46,000 claims ﬁled
the previous week. Weekly claims haven’t been
that high since late 2008 during the Great Recession.
The numbers announced Thursday pushed total
unemployment claims during the coronavirus
pandemic to 1.29 million, above the total number
of claims over the past three years. The state says
it has now distributed more than $3.5 billion to
more than 6,000 unemployment claimants, close
to what was paid out in both 2009 and 2010 during the recession.
Nationally, nearly 1.9 million Americans applied
for unemployment beneﬁts last week, bringing
the running total since the shutdowns took hold
in mid-March to more than 42 million, the government said Thursday.
Testing
Increased testing in Ohio isn’t turning up more
positive coronavirus cases, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The paper says more than nine of every 10 people have tested negative in the past 40 days. State
ofﬁcials and medical experts say they are encouraged by Ohio’s efforts to reduce the spread of the
virus but caution it’s too soon to celebrate.
“We can’t let our guard down,” Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, chief medical ofﬁcer for OhioHealth, told
the paper.
As of Memorial day, 340,000 tests had been
administered since record-keeping began by
the state on March 4, according to information
obtained by the Dispatch from the Department of
Health through a records request.

MINNEAPOLIS
— A judge set bail at
$750,000 apiece Thursday for three ﬁred Minneapolis police ofﬁcers
charged with aiding and
abetting in the killing
of George Floyd, as a
memorial service took
place just blocks away.
Tou Thao, Thomas
Lane and J. Alexander Kueng made their
ﬁrst appearances in
Hennepin County District Court as friends,
relatives and celebrities
gathered to memorialize
Floyd at a nearby Bible
college.
The Minneapolis
Police Department ﬁred
them last week, along
with Derek Chauvin,
who is charged with
second-degree murder
and second-degree manslaughter in Floyd’s May
25 death. Widely seen
bystander video shows
the white police ofﬁcer
pressing his knee into
Floyd’s neck, ignoring
the African American
man’s pleas that he can’t
breathe, until he stops
moving.
Defense attorneys
argued for lower bail.
Attorney Earl Gray,
representing Lane, told
the court that Chauvin
was the senior ofﬁcer on
the scene and that when
Floyd died it was only
Lane’s fourth day on the
job. It was also Kueng’s
fourth day as an ofﬁcer.
Gray said all Lane did

This combination of photos shows J. Alexander Kueng, from left, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao. They
have been charged with aiding and abetting Derek Chauvin, who is charged with second-degree
murder of George Floyd, a black man who died after being restrained by the Minneapolis police
officers on May 25.

was to hold Floyd’s feet
so he couldn’t kick. He
also pointed out that
the complaint says Lane
asked Chauvin twice if
they should roll Floyd
over and expressed concern that Gray might be
in delirium. The attorney
said Lane performed
CPR in the ambulance.
“What was my client
supposed to do but follow what his training
ofﬁcer said? Is that
aiding and abetting a
crime?” Gray asked.
Attorneys for Kueng
and Thao did not
address the merits of the
charges in court and told
reporters afterward that
they declined to comment on the case for now
out of respect for Floyd’s
family on the day of his
ﬁrst memorial service.
Defendants don’t nor-

mally enter pleas during
their ﬁrst appearances in
Minnesota courts, which
tend to be brief proceedings. Judge Paul Scoggin set their next court
dates for June 29. Gray
said he plans to renew
his arguments for lower
bail then, saying it could
take more than a year for
Lane’s case to go to trial.
If convicted, Chauvin
faces a maximum of 40
years in prison on the
murder count and 10
years for manslaughter.
Under Minnesota law,
aiding and abetting
second-degree murder
is tantamount a seconddegree murder charge,
so Thao, Lane and
Kueng face the same
potential penalties as
Chauvin if convicted.
A date for Chauvin’s
ﬁrst court appearance

has not been set. He
was arrested May 29.
The latest criminal
complaint against him
says his actions were a
“substantial causal factor
in Mr. Floyd losing consciousness, constituting
substantial bodily harm,
and Mr. Floyd’s death as
well.”
The narratives in the
other three complaints
are almost identical to
the one against Chauvin.
The complaint against
Lane, 37, notes that he
asked twice about rolling Floyd on his side
and wondered about
delirium, but went on
to say that Lane “took
no actions to assist Mr.
Floyd, to change his
position, or to reduce
the force the ofﬁcers
were using against Mr.
Floyd.”

Winning Powerball
ticket worth $136M
sold in West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A Powerball
ticket worth more than $136 million has been sold
in West Virginia, lottery ofﬁcials said Thursday.
It was the only winning ticket in the country to
match all six numbers drawn Wednesday night:
1-3-26-41-64 and a Powerball of 17, West Virginia
Lottery ofﬁcials said in a statement. The ticket
was sold at Go Mart #93 in Hinton, which will
receive a $100,000 sales bonus.
“Congratulations to the winner or winners of
this incredible jackpot,” West Virginia Lottery
Director John Myers said.
The winner can either take the annuitized grand
prize of $136.4 million paid out over 29 years or
the cash option of $108 million, ofﬁcials said.
The Powerball jackpot for Saturday’s drawing
resets to $20 million.
It is the ninth grand-prize Powerball ticket sold
in West Virginia and the ﬁrst in a decade.
W. Randy Smith, a former Berkeley County
sheriff and magistrate, won a $79 million Powerball jackpot in 2010. He chose the $44 million cash
option and pocketed $30 million after taxes.
Among the other jackpot winners was Jack
Whittaker, a West Virginia contractor who won a
nearly $315 million Powerball jackpot in 2002. At
the time it was the largest U.S. lottery jackpot won
by a single ticket. Whittaker quickly fell victim to
scandals, lawsuits and personal setbacks.

Durst said the campaign will run through the

One states “This money will be used to help in
preparing our facility to be opened.”
“We’re working as hard as we can to get the
shelter side open as quickly as possible,” Durst
said. “We know that the need is great. Especially
with the pandemic.”
Durst said the shelter is not open yet, but said
the hope is to have it ready by October.
“Our shelter is not open, but we are still helping
victims through Square One,” Durst said. “There
are different services we can offer.”
The center provides services to help stop the
spread of substance use, homelessness and domestic violence.
The press release said that donations can be
made by individuals or by groups to select an
envelope and ﬁll it with the given amount.
Durst said that Square One was in line to get
state funding, but due to the pandemic, the shelter
is not expecting to receive that funding now.
To select an envelope, contact Square One at
(740) 441-5809, reach out to the Square One Facebook page or email squareonegjm@gmail.com.

Esper angered Trump when
he said he opposed using military troops for law enforcement,

Washington, D.C., region, a public
sign of the growing tensions with
the White House. That reversal
was reversed on Thursday.

NBA presents
players with plan
for season restart
By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

The NBA has told the National Basketball Players Association that it will present a 22-team
plan for restarting the season to the league’s
board of governors on Thursday, a person with
knowledge of the situation told The Associated
Press.
The teams that will be going to the ESPN
Wide World Of Sports complex on the Disney
campus near Orlando, Florida, would play eight
games to determine playoff seeding starting
around July 31 before the postseason begins,
according to the person who spoke to the AP on
condition of anonymity Wednesday because the
league has not released its proposal publicly.
The plan, once approved, would have 13 Western Conference teams and nine Eastern Conference teams going to Disney, and the cutoff
being that teams must be within six games of a
playoff spot at this point. Playoffs would start in

Major League Baseball has rejected the players’ offer for a 114-game regular season in the pandemic-delayed season with no additional
salary cuts. Management has said it will discuss a schedule of about 50 games, which would result in players receiving about 30% of
their full salaries under the deal for prorated pay the union agreed to in March.

MLB rejects 114-game schedule
NEW YORK (AP) — If
Major League Baseball
and its players take the
ﬁeld for a coronanvirusdelayed 2020 season, it
will be after acrimonious
negotiations that resemble their labor war of a
generation ago.
MLB rejected the players’ proposal for a 114game regular season with
no additional salary cuts,
and will turn its attention to a shortened slate
of perhaps 50 games or
fewer. Owners last week
proposed an 82-game
schedule starting in early
July.
“We do not have any
reason to believe that a
negotiated solution for
an 82-game season is possible,” Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem wrote
in a letter Wednesday to
chief union negotiator
Bruce Meyer that was
obtained by The Associated Press.
MLB’s plan included
a sliding scale of pay
decreases that would
leave players at the
$563,500 minimum with
47% of their original salaries and top stars Mike
Trout and Gerrit Cole at
less than 22% of the $36
million they had been set
to earn.
Players insisted they
receive the prorated salaries agreed to in a March
26 deal, which would
give them 70% pay at
114 games. That agreement called for the sides
to “discuss in good faith
the economic feasibility
of playing games in the
absence of spectators.”
The union has said
no additional cuts are

acceptable.
There has not been a
schedule averaging fewer
than 82 games per team
since 1879.
“Despite what it sounds
like with some of the
Twitter bickering back
and forth and some of the
posturing back and forth,
I am optimistic that we
are going to play baseball
this year,” Milwaukee
president of baseball
operations David Stearns
said. “I’m optimistic that
both sides genuinely
want to play baseball this
year, that there’s a path
to doing so, even if it’s a
shorter season, even if it’s
50 games.”
Ballparks without fans
appear certain due to the
pandemic. MLB claims
large losses due to the
virus, which the union
disputes, and teams want
additional salary reductions. Halem said 27 of
the 30 teams would lose
money with each additional game.
A 50-game schedule
would result in players
receiving about 30% of
their full salaries under
the March 26 deal.
“You conﬁrmed for us
on Sunday that players
are uniﬁed in their view
that they will not accept
less than 100% of their
prorated salaries, and
we have no choice but to
accept that representation,” Halem wrote.
“Nonetheless, the commissioner is committed to
playing baseball in 2020,”
Halem added. “He has
started discussions with
ownership about staging
a shorter season without
fans.”

Halem ended his letter by telling Meyer “we
stand ready to discuss
any ideas you may have
that might lead to an
agreement on resuming
play without regular fan
access in our stadiums.”
MLB wants to start the
season in early July, and
Halem wrote an agreement would have had to
be reached by June 1 in
order to reopen training
camps by June 10. That
would leave three to four
weeks of preparation,
which Halem said is the
“wide consensus.”
“We are opposed to
rushing to begin the
season and then subjecting players to a grueling
schedule,” he said.
Players made their proposal Sunday, ﬁve days
after management’s initial
economic plan. 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.
MLB does not want
to play past October
because it fears a second
wave of the coronavirus
could disrupt the postseason and jeopardize $787
million in broadcast revenue. Halem cited MLB’s
infectious disease consultant, Dr. Ali Khan, Dean
of the College of Public
Health at the University
of Nebraska.
“It is not in the collective interest of clubs or
players to begin a 2020
season and subsequently
be forced to suspend
or cancel it before the

completion of the postseason,” Halem wrote.
“Dr. Khan and his team
have advised us that to
minimize the risk of a
subsequent delay or cancellation of the 2020 season we should endeavor
to complete the season
and postseason as early
in the fall as possible,”
he wrote. “In addition,
your proposal ignores the
realities of the weather in
many parts of the country
during the second half of
October. If we schedule
a full slate of games in
late October, we will be
plagued by cancellations.”
As part of the March
26 deal, players got $170
million in salary advances
— ranging from $16,500
to $286,500 — and a
guarantee that if the season is scrapped each player would get 2020 service
time matching what the
player accrued in 2019.
MLB’s proposal on May
26 would lower 2020 salaries from about $4 billion
to approximately $1.2 billion, not including signing bonuses, termination
pay or option buyouts.
There would be a $200
million bonus if the postseason is completed.
The union’s offer would
have salaries total about
$2.8 billion, leaving each
player with about 70% of
his original salary.
Halem said coronavirus testing would cost
the teams $40 million to
$50 million. He claimed
“clubs would fare even
worse economically if we
were to play a signiﬁcant
number of doubleheaders,

And Major League Soccer
announced Wednesday a
plan to restart its season
in Orlando.
“Orlando really could
be the epicenter of the
comeback of professional
sports,” DeSantis said.
For an NBA play-in
series to happen to determine the No. 8 seed on
either playoff bracket, the
ninth-place team would
have to be within four
games of eighth place
once the eight-game
schedule of lead-in games
is completed. If a play-in
series occurs, it would
basically be a best-of-two
— where the No. 9 seed
would have to win two
head-to-head matchups to
take over the No. 8 spot.
There also would be
some jostling for playoff
positioning happening in
the eight-game restart.

In the East, Toronto and
Boston are separated by
three games for the No. 2
spot, and Miami, Indiana
and Philadelphia are separated by two games for
the No. 4 spot. Out West,
the Clippers, Denver,
Utah, Oklahoma City and
Houston are all within
four games of one another
in the race for the No. 2
seed on that bracket.
There are still some elements of the restart plan
that could be changed,
and other matters are still
being negotiated — such
as how much of a percentage of their salaries players will lose because some
regular-season games
will be canceled. If 15%
of the regular season is
not played, which would
be the current estimate
based on the proposal,
players would have to give
up roughly $610 million
in salary for this season.

NASCAR

“We were successful,”
Tatoian said, “we just
weren’t successful enough
to sustain ourselves.
There’s a big difference
between Cup and those
other two races.”
There was a cry for
NASCAR to return to the
old Fairgrounds, where
the Cup Series ran 42
times from 1958 through
1984, and the lower-level
Xﬁnity and Truck Series
last raced there in 2000.
The Speedway Motorsports Inc.-owned Fairgrounds weren’t much
of an option, said Ben
Kennedy, NASCAR vice
president of racing development.
“While they continue to
work on the Fairgrounds
and are optimistic about
what the future might
look like there, this has
been kind of a separate
conversation,” Kennedy
said.
Kennedy added: “We’ll
certainly stay in touch
with them as things move
along and continue to
support them there.”
Dover expected the
Superspeedway to
become a NASCAR
ﬁxture and not just a
placeholder until the Fairgrounds becomes a viable
option. NASCAR eyed
a race date of June 20,
2021, and — as the tentative ﬁrst race in NBC’s
portion of TV schedule

— it would be a blast to
debut under the lights.
The track sits about 35
miles southeast of Nashville, closer to Gladeville,
Tennessee.
“I think the uniqueness
of it tied to the market
is kind of a win-win scenario,” Kennedy said.
“I think it will certainly
add a little bit of variety
to the schedule, kind of
another turning point as
we think about the next
iterations of the 2021
schedule.”
Dover has been a
NASCAR home sine
1969 and the site of two
race weekends each year
since 1971. The concrete
mile track, where seventime champion Jimmie
Johnson has 11 career
victories, was scheduled
to hold a race in May this
season until the coronavirus pandemic forced
a postponement. Dover
is expected to run Cup
races on Aug. 22 and 23.
“Our company will get
stronger, which means
our situation in Dover
will get even better,”
Tatoian said. “Unfortunately, there are going
to be some disappointed
fans and we understand
that. But if you’re a true
NASCAR fan, you really
will embrace this, even
though it may mean
going to Dover one less
time.”

Darlington Raceway.
Dover wants to act
smart in the expansion.
The company said it
would pump $8 million to $10 million into
the track for capital
improvements and does
not plan to add permanent seating beyond the
25,000 capacity currently at track.
“We only have one person out there,” Tatoian
said. “We’ve had a maintenance person just to
help. So we’ve never
been able to take advantage of the phone calls
that we still get today
from people that want to
rent the facility for various things. Now, we’re
able to do that again.”
The 1.33-mile concrete
track was built in 2001
by Dover Motorsports
and hosted NASCAR
and IndyCar events until
2011. Nashville Superspeedway held Xﬁnity
and Truck events, as
well as IndyCar races,
from 2001 until 2011.
Tatoian said he’s open to
all three series returning
to the schedule. But the
track has never held an
elite Cup Series race.

GOD’S KIDS CORNER

Christianity
is more than
mere words

Trinity Sunday… three in one

Sometimes you will hear people make a
statement to the effect that when Jesus began
teaching, He taught things that had never been
taught before. We need to realize
that this is not true. What Jesus
taught was the truth, but it was
not unrevealed truth. Most of the
teachings of Jesus have a direct
parallel somewhere in the Old
Testament: God’s word which
had been given to God’s people
Jonathan hundreds of years prior to the
McAnulty arrival of Jesus in the ﬂesh.
Take for instance Jesus’ teachContributing
Columnist
ing that the greatest commandment was to love God and that
the second commandment was to
love one’s neighbor. Jesus was, of course, right
in His declaration, but we should acknowledge that He was not alone. Others, having
studiously studied and meditated upon God’s
law had arrived at the same conclusion. If
you doubt this, read or reread the opening
scene to Jesus’ delivery of the Parable of the
Good Samaritan. A Jewish lawyer asks Jesus
what the greatest commandment was, and
Jesus in turn asked him for his opinion on the
matter ﬁrst, asking, “how do you read it.” It
was the lawyer who answered that the great
commandment was to love God. Jesus then
agreed with the lawyer, stating that the lawyer
had answered correctly (cf. Luke 10:25-28).
Likewise, at a later date, in a similar conversation, another scribe asked Jesus the very same
question, and this time Jesus supplied the
answer. But after hearing what Jesus had said,
the scribe agreed with Jesus and proceeded to
explain to all why the Lord’s answer was correct. Further, after the scribe laid out his thinking on the issue, Jesus praised him for what he
had said (cf. Mark 12:28-34).
All of which is to say that, prior to the
preaching of Jesus, there were already Scribes
and Pharisees teaching some of the same
things Jesus was to teach. Which makes some
sense, as all parties involved were teaching
from the very same book.
What made the teaching of Jesus different
then was not primarily substance. Rather there
were two other qualities possessed by Jesus
which made His doctrines notable. The ﬁrst
was the authority with which He taught (cf.
Matthew 7:28-29). Rather then appealing to
the authority of others in order to buttress His
points, Jesus merely said, “I am telling you,”
and left it at that.
The other thing that made Jesus particularly
noteworthy, and that one thin g was His willingness and ability to live according to what
He taught, and His expectations that others do
the same. The problem with the scribes and
Pharisees was not primarily one of ignorance.
It was a problem of application. This is why
Jesus condemned them as hypocrites. He told
His followers: “The scribes and the Pharisees
sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever
they tell you, but not the works they do. For
they preach, but do not practice. They tie up
heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on
people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not
willing to move them with their ﬁnger. (Matthew 23:1-4; ESV) Going back to the Parable of
the Good Samaritan, after the scribe correctly
supplied his awareness of what the great commandment was, he immediately tried to ﬁnd
justiﬁcation for why he was not doing what he
knew he ought to be doing (cf. Luke 10:29).
Knowing the truth only has value if one is
also willing to live according to the truth.
Understanding this, we can perhaps better
understand the New Commandment that Jesus
did deliver to us. Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love
one another. By this all people will know that
you are my disciples, if you have love for one
another. (John 13:34-35; ESV)”
Loving one another was not a new commandment. God had always taught His people
that they should be loving. The “new” part of
the commandment was to observe the life of
Jesus in our attempt at understanding how
to love. The love of Jesus was not a matter of
mouthing the right
platitudes, but was instead shown through
consistently and constantly living the way that
God had taught His people He wanted them to
live. . Elsewhere we read the command, “Little
children, let us not love in word or talk but in
deed and in truth (1 John 3:18; ESV).” Anybody can say the words. It is something differently entirely to live according to the words.
The example of Jesus is one of teaching the
truth while at the same time living according
to the truth.
Granted, Jesus sets a high bar, but it is one
He fully expected us to try and meet. “By this
will men know you are my disciples,” Jesus
said… not by the words we mouth, but rather
by the manner in which we strive to live
according to those words.

This Sunday, we celebrate something called
Trinity Sunday. It’s
another special day in
the life of the church that
we remember. It’s sort
of a mystery and may
be a little hard to understand, but here goes. If
you’ve talked about word
meanings in school, you
might remember that
“tri” means three. So
the Trinity represents
the “three” persons of
God: the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit. But

thought there was only
one God.” Well, there is
only one God. The Bible
tells us that. God is our

CROSS WORDS

Identity, justice, and the grace of God
I’m not one to write
about current events. I
wholeheartedly believe in
the sufﬁciency of Scripture, and my goal is always
to present it faithfully.
My object in writing this
week is nothing more or
less than that. But the connection between Esther 7
and the current upheaval
of our American society is
striking.
For the past ﬁfteen
weeks, I’ve been writing
on the Book of Esther.
And today, I’m continuing with chapter 7. If you
remember, Haman has just
been humiliated. Upon
devising a wicked plan to
kill Mordecai, he visits the
king early one morning
to discuss the matter (see
Esth. 6:4). Much to his
disappointment, however,
Haman is summoned to
lead a parade in honor of
the very man he seeks to
kill (see Esth. 6:10).
Afterward, Haman
runs to his home in tears,
seeking pity from his wife
and friends (see Esth.
6:12-13). While all of this
is happening, Esther is
preparing a banquet for
Haman and King Ahasuerus. Why? Well, because
this villain named Haman
is also plotting a genocide
against the Jewish people.
And with that in mind,
Esther wisely holds a feast
to confront Haman’s sin
and save her people from
death (see Esth. 4:16).
“So the king and Haman
went in to feast with
Queen Esther. And on
the second day, as they
were drinking wine after
the feast, the king said
to Esther, ‘What is your

the next day (see Esth.
5:8). And as we know, during this second banquet
in chapter 7, her plea for
justice is met.
With prudence and
patience, Esther crafts her
words. With God behind
her, she seeks justice in
the right place at the right
time. And this leads to the
beautiful display of justice
in the Book of Esther that
causes anyone to smile.
Because we’re made to
love justice. God calls us
to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly
with Him (see Micah 6:8).
But our idea of justice will
always be skewed until we
recognize the depravity
of our own hearts. You
and I are just as guilty
of sin as the most racist man in America. But
God, in His grace, has
given us His Son to make
us right with Him. And
just as King Ahasuerus’s
wrath abates upon the
death of Haman, so God’s
wrath against us abates
upon the death of Christ
(see Gal. 3:13).
We must identify with
the vulnerable and seek
justice where justice is
due. But make no mistake
about it, justice cannot be
understood rightly apart
from the Word of God.
And the beauty of grace is
that a sinner like me and
you can ﬁnd forgiveness
through Christ. I pray that
fuels our ﬁght for justice
in this country both now
and forever.
