Ohio announces 3 positive tests as state’s 1st virus cases
Staff Report

COLUMBUS, Ohio
— Ohio on Monday
announced the state’s
ﬁrst conﬁrmed cases
of the new coronavirus
that has sickened people
around the globe.
Three people have
tested positive for the
virus. The locations of
those people is not yet
known.
The State Health
Department said the
case was conﬁrmed as
part of testing done
last week. Eight people
had previously tested
negative after exhibiting

symptoms of pulmonary
virus either after travel
to China or coming into
contact with someone
with the disease known
as COVID-19, according
to Health Department
records.
The state held a coronavirus summit Friday
for local public health
ofﬁcials, and Gov. Mike
DeWine said it was only
a matter of time before
the illness came to the
state.
Also Friday, Health
Department Director
Dr. Amy Acton ordered
a sharp reduction in
spectators at the annual

Arnold Sports Festival in
Columbus over coronavirus fears.
On Saturday, Governor Mike DeWine and
Dr. Acton announced
the state’s protocol for

testing resources now
that in-state testing is
available.
“As the COVID-19 situation evolves, the Ohio
Department of Health,
working in conjunction
with hospitals, primary
care providers, and other
health care experts, has
a plan to maximize our
testing resources. We are
prioritizing the patients

who are the most vulnerable to be tested in the
Department of Health’s
State Laboratory, while
ensuring those that need
COVID-19 testing will be
able to be tested,” said
Governor DeWine.
“We want to reassure
Ohioans so there is no
confusion. Information
is critical to managing
an outbreak of any infectious disease, and testing
at our state lab offers the
greatest ability for all
of us to make the best
decisions to protect the
health of the greatest
number of people. We
will now be able to turn

around results in an estimated 24-48 hours,” said
Dr. Acton.
For those who are
hospitalized and meet
the following criteria,
samples will be sent to
the ODH state lab:Have
a fever or signs/symptoms of lower respiratory
illness, (e.g., cough or
shortness of breath) and

Ohio man arrested
in Mason for intent
to commit a felony
Mason Wal-Mart closed for two
hours following reported incident
Staff Report

MASON, W.Va. — An Ohio man was arrested
Saturday morning by the Mason Police Department following an incident at Walmart in Mason,
W.Va. which led to the store being
closed for approximately two hours.
Zachary J. Warnecke, 23, address
unknown, was arrested and charged
with intent to commit a felony,
according to Police Chief Colton
McKinney. As of Monday, Warnecke
remained in the Western Regional
Warnecke
Jail with a bond of $75,000.
McKinney said around 6 a.m.
Saturday, Patrolman Austen Toler responded to
an active destruction of property and potential
threat complaint at Walmart. After arriving at
the scene, Toler apprehended Warnecke, a former
employee at the store who had quit, according to
the chief.
McKinney said according to Walmart employees, Warnecke walked into the store, allegedly
broke the glass to the gun cabinet, and got some
weapons from the cabinet. The chief said Warnecke did not threaten anyone with the weapons,
and was taken into custody within ﬁve minutes
of police arriving. The reason for Warnecke’s
action remains unknown at this time, McKinney
added.
Walmart was evacuated during the incident
and remained closed for around two hours while
police secured the scene and made certain all
weapons were accounted for, the chief said.
Also responding were McKinney, and representatives of the New Haven Police Department,
Mason County Sheriff’s Department, and Point
Pleasant Police Department.
“Walmart employees reacted exactly as they
had been taught, and the response time was fantastic,” the chief said. “No one was injured, and
Warnecke was apprehended swiftly.”

Florida theme parks keep eye on virus Trump wants payroll
tax relief to calm
financial markets

Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — As
Florida’s busy spring
break season kicked off
this month, coronavirus
czar Vice President
Mike Pence addressed
something that’s been on
the mind of tens of thousands of families preparing to travel to theme
parks: Is it safe?
Over the weekend,
Pence stressed it is safe
for healthy Americans
to travel, noting “one of
our favorite places to go
when my children were
young and even before
my children came was in
Orlando.”
“Whether it be Disney
World, whether it be
other destination, whether it be cruise ships …
those most at risk are
seniors with serious
or chronic underlying
health conditions.”
“Otherwise Americans
can conﬁdently travel in
this country,” Pence said
at a meeting with cruise
industry ofﬁcials in Fort
Lauderdale on Saturday.
Still, as COVID-19
concerns multiply, the
issue weighs heavily in
the tourism industry.
“There is deﬁnitely
concern. Particularly
how and when it could
manifest itself in the
U.S.,” said Dennis
Speigel, president of
International Theme
Park Services Inc., an
independent industry
consultant.
He’s been watching
the spread of the coronavirus for weeks, as
theme parks in Asia have
closed. He estimated
the temporary closure of
Disney parks in Shanghai and Hong Kong will
cost the company anywhere from $175 million
to $300 million dollars.
Coronavirus concerns
have impacted the state’s
cruise industry and convention business, but the
theme parks have been
spared so far, although
that could change at any
moment.

officials say cases of the new coronavirus are having little visible impact on the state’s biggest
industry so far. Disney officials said in a statement that extra hand sanitizers were being placed
throughout its four parks and more than two dozen hotels.

vast numbers of people
from around the globe to
its major theme parks,
which also include
Universal Orlando and
SeaWorld Orlando. The
city attracted 75 million
visitors in 2018.
As of Sunday, the city
was at least 65 miles
(105 kilometers) from
the nearest person testing positive for coronavirus.
Though several conventions in Orlando have
been canceled because
of concerns, individual
leisure travel hasn’t been
affected, local ofﬁcials
said.
Jennifer Morales, a
47-year-old mother from
San Antonio, said the
outbreak hasn’t changed
her plans for an eightday Walt Disney World
vacation with her
daughter. She’s been to
Disney World 20-plus
times, and her daughter
is in a marching band
scheduled to be in a
park parade. They leave
Sunday.
“I don’t think it warrants canceling a vacation right now,” she
said, adding that she’s
more worried about
sitting on a plane with
people with colds and
the ﬂu. “I’m kind of a
germaphobe. We all
have our own personal
hand sanitizers, We’re
diligent about hand-

washing at the parks,
especially after rides.
Now we’ll spending a
little extra time washing hands. I already
travel with a small can
of Lysol and hose everything down in our hotel
rooms.”
The state draws
hordes of college-age
students and families
with grade-school children during the spring
break season, which
begins in earnest in
mid-March and runs
into April. Cancellations
could be devastating
during one of the busiest times of the year in
the Sunshine State.
Last week, ﬁve big
conventions said they
were cancelling their
conferences in Orlando
because of coronavirus
concerns. President
Donald Trump had been
scheduled to speak
at one of the conventions, and Democratic
presidential candidates
Joe Biden and Bernie
Sanders had been set
to headline a forum at
another convention.
Over the weekend,
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommended that
travelers defer all cruise
travel, especially if they
have underlying health
issues.
The U.S. Travel
Association on Tuesday

predicted a 6% decline
in international visitors
to the U.S. over the
next three months as a
result of coronavirus.
If the prediction holds,
it would be the largest
decline in international
inbound travel since the
recession a dozen years
ago, the association
said.
Coronavirus fears hit
Florida last week as
Disney World opened
a new ride based on
Mickey Mouse, a park
ﬁrst. The resort’s most
anticipated new land
in years, Star Wars:
Galaxy’s Edge, debuted
only last August.
If a Disney visitor
shows coronavirus
symptoms or ﬁrst
responders think they
have the ﬂu, both
patient and paramedic
will get a face mask,
said Tim Stromsnes,
president of the union
local for ﬁreﬁghters at
Disney World.
Speigel said parks
and attractions likely
will undergo “a lot of
fumigation, disinfection,
right now, not only in
the front of the house,
but the back of the
house.”
Ofﬁcials with Busch
Gardens and SeaWorld
didn’t respond to email
inquiries about how the
coronavirus had affected them.

A public health and
economic maelstrom
brought on by the coronavirus swirled around
President Donald Trump
and drew closer to him
personally Monday as
several of his congressional conﬁdants placed
themselves in quarantine,
including one who traveled with him on Air
Force One.
While intent on projecting calm, Trump lashed
out about the plunging
stock market and convened a meeting of his
top economic advisers to
address what to do about
it. Meanwhile the number
of Republican lawmakers who announced they
were isolating themselves
because of possible exposure to the virus grew to
ﬁve.
As Trump grappled
with an epidemic whose
consequences he has
repeatedly played down,
the White House asserted
it was conducting “business as usual.” But
the day’s business was
anything but normal.
Lawmakers pressed for
details on how the Capitol could be made secure,
a Pentagon meeting was
broken into sub-groups
to minimize the number
of people in the same
room and the Army commander in Europe placed
himself in a precaution-

ary quarantine.
Trump was set to hold
a press brieﬁng Monday
at 6:30 p.m. after meeting economic advisers
on potential plans for an
economic stimulus.
The president dove
into handshakes with
supporters Monday morning when arriving to
headline a fundraiser in
Longwood, Florida, that
raised approximately $4
million for his reelection
campaign and the Republican Party. He ignored
shouted questions about
the sinking stock market
as he boarded Air Force
One for the ﬂight back to
Washington.
On that ﬂight: Florida
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who
later went into a voluntary quarantine. He was
one of several GOP lawmakers who were exposed
to a person at last month’s
Conservative Political
Action Conference who
tested positive for the
virus.
In Monday morning
tweets, Trump vented
about the market drop
and news that large public
gatherings were being
called off because of the
virus.
“At this moment there
are 546 conﬁrmed cases
of CoronaVirus, with 22
deaths,” Trump tweeted,
comparing it to seasonal inﬂuenza and the
thousands of deaths that
causes. “Think about
that!”

THEIR VIEW

St. Patrick’s
Day is also
Onion Day
It seems too early to be vegetable gardening,
but experienced gardeners have their onions
in the ground by St. Patrick’s Day. Onions and
shamrocks are perfect together!
In order to get fat onion bulbs,
you need to grow big healthy tops
before the days get long. That’s
when the plants switch from growing foliage to storing food in the
bulbs, so planting too late means
puny bulbs at harvest time.
Steve
The easiest way to grow onions
Boehme
in the home garden is by planting
Contributing
onion “sets”, tiny onions that grow
columnist
into big onions. These are widely
available, usually in bulk by the
pound. All you need to do is loosen up a patch
or row with a cultivator, mixing in some 10-1010 fertilizer, and then press the little onions into
the loose soil two inches deep and two inches
apart. We recommend “wide row” planting;
instead of a single line plant six or eight rows
a few inches apart. Onions don’t mind being
crowded, and later you can thin the weaker
plants and have plenty of fresh scallions. Make
sure to tamp the soil over your onion sets.
Onion transplants grow the biggest sweet
onions. You might be able to ﬁnd these locally;
if not you can get them online from Brown’s
Omaha Plant Farm (https://www.bopf.com).
Onion plants come in bunches of about 60-70
plants, each the size of a pencil. They’re already
growing, so they take off like crazy as soon as
you plant them. Starting with onion transplants
gives you a “head start”, insuring you’ll get the
biggest, fattest sweet slicing onions within the
growing season. Two tips for the biggest onions:
always trim off the tips when planting, and plant
them as shallow as possible (one inch deep).
Onions need fertilizer three or four times
before harvest. Use 10-10-10, sprinkling the fertilizer around the base of the plants (fertilizer
dust can scorch the foliage). Super-phosphate
and bone meal are good for onions too. Fertilize
when plants reach 6 inches, and again every two
or three weeks. The best way to fertilize onions
is by “side dressing.” This means sprinkling fertilizer at the base of the plants, taking care not
to get fertilizer dust on the stalks, where it can
burn.
Thin every other plant, harvesting the weaker
ones. Big, healthy tops mean big fat onions.
Pinch off any seedpods, because if the plants
set seed they won’t grow big bulbs. Once the
days are long enough, healthy vigorous onion
plants “shift gears” and energy from the big
tops is transported down to make a bulb. Bulbs
continue to grow until the tops wither and turn
brown. That’s the best time to harvest.
If your garden is too gooey to plant, try making some ﬂuffy dirt just in the onion rows:
Sprinkle 10-10-10 fertilizer and a little superphosphate on the row and then spread three
inches of peat moss. Till the row six inches
deep, trying not to step on the freshly tilled
dirt. Rake it smooth. Magic. Now you can tuck
in your onion sets easily. Next tamp the soil
gently. You’re done, and right on St. Patrick’s
Day schedule!

THEIR VIEW

Are you better off?

It seems to me that
one of the questions that
will be raised during this
election year will be that
old standby, “Are you
better off now than you
were four years ago?”
The answer(s) to that
question may touch on
a variety of areas such
as: How comfortable are
you with your life? Are
you satisﬁed with the
direction(s) the country
is going? and Do you consider changes in the past
four years to have had a
positive or negative effect
on your personal lifestyle,
or belief system?
Questions like these are
difﬁcult to quantify, that
is, to measure, but there
is one venue where we
may analyze and evaluate the “then” of four
years ago and the “now”
of today. It’s our federal
income taxes - a tangible
and measurable indicator.
Before diving into my
analysis, I ﬁgure some
background is appropriate.
Back when both my
Sweetheart-for-Life and I

we, with the advice and

Governor announces changes
COLUMBUS — Ohio
Governor Mike DeWine
announced Monday that
he has directed the Ohio
Department of Rehabilitation and Correction
(ODRC) to implement
a series of changes
related to its post-release
control supervision of
former prison inmates.
This work will include
the development of new
crime-scene correlation
technology linked to a
centralized database of
offenders on electronic
GPS monitoring.
“When offenders are
released from prison
under the supervision
of the state, our number
one obligation must be
to ensure that this supervision is performed with
a focus on keeping the
public safe,” said Governor DeWine. “Ohio’s
post-release control population is growing, and
many former inmates
are high-risk to reoffend.
The safety and security
of the public demands
that Ohio invest in the
adequate supervision of
dangerous offenders.”
ODRC will work
toward developing the
crime-scene correlation
system in consultation with InnovateOhio, which focuses on
improving government
services through technology. The system, as

planned, would allow law
enforcement to compare
crime scene addresses to
the GPS data of offenders on post-release control. The tool would help
investigators quickly
determine if an individual on electronic monitoring was at the scene
when the crime occurred
and if so, potentially
make an arrest before
another crime happens.
The development of
the crime-scene correlation system is one
of 11 recommendations
made by the Governor’s
Working Group on
Post-Release Control.
Governor DeWine called
on the working group
to conduct a sweeping
review of the policies
and practices of ODRC’s
Adult Parole Authority
(APA) last year after
a man on post-release
control supervision was
arrested for killing two
children in Dayton.
Post-release control
is a period of monitoring required for certain
former inmates released
from prison after serving the entirety of their
sentences.
Other changes to
Ohio’s post-release control supervision system
include, but are not
limited to:The APA will
begin working to reduce
parole ofﬁcers’ casel-

oads to 50:1 for general
caseloads and 40:1 for
specialized caseloads to
allow parole ofﬁcers to
provide more thorough
supervision. The current
average caseload size is
76:1.
The use of specialized caseloads will be
expanded to place speciﬁc offenders, such as
sex offenders and those
suffering from mental
illness, with parole
ofﬁcers who are experienced in supervising
these populations.
The APA will develop
a case-assignment
process that balances
the number of offenders supervised by each
parole ofﬁcer with each
offender’s risk level and
the duties associated
with each level.
The Ohio Department of Public Safety
will partner with the
APA to more effectively respond to GPSmonitoring violations
at night and on the
weekends.
The APA will require
inclusion and exclusion
zones for all offenders
on GPS monitoring
to clearly deﬁne speciﬁc areas where these
offenders, including
those who are homeless,
are permitted or prohibited from being located.
Ohio’s highest-risk

offenders will be subject
to longer periods of
monitoring, and these
offenders will be supervised by the most experienced parole ofﬁcers.
A sentinel events
review process will be
developed to regularly
and thoroughly examine
incidents of recidivism
among offenders on
post-release control.
The APA will revise
its policies to put more
focus on behavioralchange strategies that
help offenders make
positive choices.
Governor DeWine
also announced that he
will work with members
of the general assembly
to amend a statutory
requirement that mandates GPS monitoring
for certain low-risk
offenders and redirect
those resources to highrisk offenders on postrelease control.
The working group
will continue to collaborate to develop recommendations on other
areas of concern such
as “truth in sentencing,” the effectiveness
of halfway houses in
supporting reentry and
reducing recidivism,
and the use of phonereporting.

Eagles take series from RedStorm

Rio Grande’s Carter Smith follows through on his swing after connecting for
a two-run first inning single in Sunday’s 14-5 loss to Asbury University at Bob
Evans Field.

RIO GRANDE, Ohio —
Asbury University coughed up
an early two-run lead before
scoring 12 unanswered runs
over its ﬁnal six at bats to
record a 14-5 win over the University of Rio Grande, Sunday
afternoon, in River States Conference baseball action at Bob
Evans Field.
The Eagles, who began the
day by closing out an 11-3 victory over the RedStorm in the
completion of the back end of
Saturday’s doubleheader suspended by darkness, ﬁnished
the day at 13-4 overall and 2-1
in league play.
Rio Grande ﬁnished the

weekend at 3-20 overall and 1-5
inside the RSC.
The RedStorm spotted their
guests a 2-0 ﬁrst inning lead in
Sunday’s regularly scheduled
game, but rallied for four runs
of their own in the bottom of
the frame thanks to bases-loaded walks to junior Billy Cooper
(Jackson, OH) and freshman
Austin Kendall (Troy, OH) and
a two-run single by freshman
Carter Smith (Point Pleasant,
WV).
Rio’s lead grew to 5-2 in the
third on a run-scoring hit by
senior Juan Familia (Reading,
PA), but Asbury started the
road back with single markers
in both the fourth and ﬁfth
innings to slice the deﬁcit to
one.

The RedStorm got their collective backs broken — and
the Eagles grabbed the lead for
good — in the sixth inning.
Riley Baumbick reached on a
one-out walk by senior reliever
Trey Meade (Seaman, OH) and
Garrett Mcintire followed with
an opposite ﬁeld bloop single
to left before a sacriﬁce bunt by
Austin Dick moved both runners into scoring position.
Trevor Campbell followed
with a single up the middle to
score both runners and give
Asbury a 6-5 lead. Moments
later, Paul Haupt homered to
left and the lead grew to 8-5.

softball rolls
to pair of wins
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — The University of
Rio Grande softball team got back on the winning track Saturday afternoon, cruising to a pair
of mercy rule-shortened wins in the Fastpitch
Dreams Spring Classic at the North Myrtle Beach
Sports Complex.
The RedStorm cruised to a 9-1 victory in six
innings against Ferrum (Va.) College before
posting an 11-3 triumph in ﬁve innings against
Waynesburg (Pa.) University.
Rio Grande pushed its overall record to 6-12
with the wins.
In Saturday’s opener against previously unbeaten Ferrum, the 14th-ranked team in NCAA Division III, the RedStorm scored four times in the
second inning and twice in both the fourth and
ﬁfth frames to fuel its rout.
Junior Kayla Slutz (Navarre, OH) had a two-run
single in the four-run second inning, while sophomore Taylor Webb (Willow Wood, OH) had a
two-run single of her own in the fourth inning and
the ﬁfth inning markers crossed on a groundout
by senior Brooke Hoffman (Columbus Grove, OH)
and an RBI single by Slutz.
Slutz ﬁnished 3-for-3 in the win, while junior
Morgan Santos (Dayton, OH) had two hits and
sophomore Lexi Hart (Johnstown, OH) added a
double.
Junior Raelynn Hastings (Commercial Point,
OH) earned the victory in the circle, scattering six
hits and allowing an unearned run in a complete
game effort. She walked one and struck out ﬁve.
Ashton Lambeth went the distance in the loss
for Ferrum (9-1), allowing 12 hits. Only three
of the nine runs were earned as a result of three
errors by the Panthers.
Lambeth had two of her team’s three hits, while
Bayley Cunningham drove in the team’s lone run.
In the nightcap against Waynesburg, another
NCAA Division III program, Rio Grande rallied
from a 3-1 third inning deﬁcit by scoring 10 unanswered runs.
The RedStorm parlayed a ﬁrst inning error by
the Yellow Jackets into an early lead, but a basesclearing three-run double by Kayla Alderson in the
top of third gave Waynesburg the lead.
Rio started the road back with a run-scoring
single by Santos in the bottom of the third before
taking the lead for good with four runs in the
fourth inning.
Sophomore Shelby Schmitt (Fairﬁeld, OH) and
senior Lexi Philen (Tallmadge, OH) had run-scoring doubles in the inning, while Slutz and freshman Chase Arndt (Clyde, OH) added run-scoring
singles.
The RedStorm invoked the mercy rule by adding ﬁve more runs in the bottom of the ﬁfth.
Slutz and Webb both had two-run singles in the
rally, while Philen also had an RBI single.

Logano holds off Harvick in NASCAR Cup race at Phoenix
rocking.”
Also the winner two
weeks ago in Las Vegas
for Team Penske, Logano
has 25 career Cup victories. He overcame several
tough moments, including a pit-road penalty
for an uncontrolled tire
and a broken jack during
another stop.
A late caution triggered the two-lap
overtime shootout with
Logano, Harvick and
Kyle Busch all in a decent
position to win. Logano
had a good restart at the
mile oval and was able to
hold off Harvick. Busch
was third, Kyle Larson
ﬁnished fourth and Clint
Bowyer was ﬁfth.
“Really cool to be able
to race clean and hard,
it’s a lot of fun,” Logano
said. “Kevin is one of

AVONDALE, Ariz.
(AP) — Joey Logano
raved all weekend about
the new “Awesome
Sauce” at Phoenix Raceway, which was the driver’s nickname for the substance that was put on
the mile oval to improve
grip for tires and make
for better racing.
The sauce did its job
during an entertaining
show Sunday and so did
Logano, who raced to
his second NASCAR Cup
Series win in three weeks
by holding off Kevin
Harvick during a two-lap
overtime restart.
“That was a pretty
intense last 30 minutes
or hour of the race. A lot
going on,” Logano said.
“Couldn’t be more proud
of this team. Two wins
already in the books. We
got to keep this thing

every strapped into a
race car and a stock car
in particular. He’s a Hall
of Famer, to say the least.
When you line up against
him at the end of the race
you know it’s going to be
a heck of a battle.”
Pole-sitter Chase
Elliott and Harvick dominated the ﬁrst half of the
race but Elliott had to
make a green-ﬂag stop
because of a loose front
tire and fell a lap behind
the leaders. He eventually earned a free pass to
get back on the lead lap
and ﬁnished seventh.
On top of the improved
track surface, the Phoenix race was the ﬁrst
under NASCAR’s new
rules package for short
tracks, which included a
signiﬁcantly smaller rear
spoiler. The hope was all

for more passing and
excitement during the
race.
The tweaks seemed to
have their desired effect.
There were 20 lead
changes and plenty of
passing and contact back
in the pack. Phoenix also
is the site of the Cup
Series championship in
November.
“Hats off to NASCAR
for collaborating with the
teams, the track and putting on a way better race
than what we saw here
last year,” Logano said.
Elliott started on the
pole while Harvick —
who has won nine times
in Phoenix — also was
on the front row. Elliott
led the ﬁrst 61 laps of the
race before Harvick beat
him off pit road following
the ﬁrst caution.
Harvick had his fourth
top 10 ﬁnish in four
races, but was disappointed he couldn’t get
past Logano at the end.
“Joey was just good
enough to run a couple
laps there and get where
I needed to be on track
position,” Harvick said.
Cole Custer was the
highest ﬁnishing rookie

in ninth place.

Winner announced on the 23rd of March

and mental outlook with his sister, a rising WNBA star.
“Baseball is a big part of our lives,
so it is something we both bond over,”
DeShields said of his father, a 13-year
MLB veteran who is in his second year
as the ﬁrst base coach of the Reds.
DeShields relishes discussions with
his sister as well. The former Tennessee
standout earned all-WNBA honors last
season for the Chicago Sky and was an
All-Rookie selection in 2018.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Dad, the
elder Delino DeShields, is working less
than 100 yards away, behind a fence
dividing Cleveland’s training complex
from the Cincinnati Reds facility. Sister
Diamond DeShields is just a phone call
away.
Together, they help Delino DeShields
strive to meet his latest challenge: making an impact in his ﬁrst season with
the Indians.
He talks baseball and life with Dad
