This is the most up-to-date information available as of press time on Monday evening. By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com COLUMBUS — Hours after a Franklin County Judge rejected a petition to delay Ohio’s Primary Election, the state’s Health Director declared a health emergency to close the polls on Tuesday. In a statement just after 10 p.m. on Monday evening, Governor Mike DeWine stated, “During this time when we face an unprecedented public health crisis, to conduct an election tomorrow would would force poll workers and voters to place themselves at a unacceptable health risk of contracting coronavirus. As such, Health Director Dr. Amy Acton will order the polls closed as a health emergency. While the polls will be closed tomorrow, Secretary of State Frank LaRose will seek a remedy through the courts to extend voting options so that every voter who wants to vote will be granted that opportunity.” DeWine and LaRose had indicated their recommendation to delay the election until June 2 due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. In a joint statement earlier on Monday evening, DeWine and LaRose stated, “The only thing more important than a free and fair election is the health and safety of Ohioans. The Ohio Department of Health and the CDC have advised against anyone gathering in groups larger than 50 people, which will occur if the election goes forward. Additionally, Ohioans over 65 and those with certain health conditions have been advised to limit their nonessential contact with others, affecting their ability to vote or serve as poll workers. Logistically, under these extraordinary circumstances, it simply isn’t possible to hold an election tomorrow that will be considered legitimate by Ohioans. They mustn’t be forced to choose between their health and exercising their constitutional rights.” Earlier on Monday evening, an Ohio judge rejected a request to postpone the state’s primary amid concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, but it was not clear if that would be the final word hours before polls were scheduled to open. Judge Richard Frye ruled against a motion backed by Gov. Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who earlier had backed an effort to push in-person voting back to June 2 to avoid crowds at polling places. The 11th hour maneuvering was causing confusion: Some candidates had already brought suits aimed at keeping the election on track, but boards of elections had begun alerting poll workers they could stay home before Frye ruled. “I’m very reluctant to undermine (state election law) and say, well, we’ll have a judge in Columbus rewrite the election code, reset the election for some arbitrary date in the future and upset the apple cart in a terrible precedent,” Frye said during a hearing on the request. Frye suggested DeWine should have used his power to reconvene the Legislature to change the law instead. Should the polls be open on Tuesday, voting would take place from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Gyms, bowling alleys among closures Helping the most vulnerable Council on Aging meeting needs of elderly By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com POMEROY — The Meigs County Council Governor closes dine-in restaurants, bars; carry out remains an option on Aging is taking steps to help the county’s most vulnerable population during the COVID19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Johnson AP Medical Writers SEATTLE — U.S. researchers gave the first shots in a first test of an experimental coronavirus vaccine Monday, leading off a worldwide hunt for protection even as the pandemic surges. With careful jabs in the arms of four healthy volunteers, scientists at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute in Seattle began an anxiously awaited first-stage study of a potential COVID-19 vaccine developed in record time after the new virus exploded out of China and fanned out across the globe. “We’re team coronavirus now,” Kaiser Permanente study leader Dr. Lisa Jackson said on the eve of the experiment. “Everyone wants to do what they can in this emergency.” The Associated Press observed as the study’s first participant, an operations manager at a small tech company, received the injection in an exam room. “We all feel so helpless. This is an amazing opportunity for me to do something,” Jennifer Haller, 43, of Seattle said before getting vaccinated. Her two teenagers “think it’s cool” that she’s taking part in the study. After the injection, she left the exam room with a big smile: “I’m feeling great.” Three others were next in line for a test that will ultimately give 45 volunteers two doses, a month apart. Neal Browning, 46, of Bothell, Washington, is a Microsoft network engineer who says his young daughters are proud he volunteered. “Every parent wants their children to look up to them,” he said. But he’s told them not Ted S. Warren | AP A pharmacist gives Jennifer Haller, left, the first shot in the first-stage safety study clinical trial of a potential vaccine for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, Monday at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. to brag to their friends. “It’s other people, too. It’s not just Dad out there.” Monday’s milestone marked just the beginning of a series of studies in people needed to prove whether the shots are safe and could work. Even if the research goes well, a vaccine would not be available for widespread use for 12 to 18 months, said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Still, finding a vaccine “is an urgent public health priority,” Fauci said in a statement Monday. The new study “is an important first step toward achieving that goal.” This vaccine candidate, code-named mRNA-1273, was developed by the NIH and Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna Inc. There’s no chance participants could get infected because the shots do not contain the coronavirus itself. It’s not the only potential vaccine in the pipeline. Dozens of research groups around the world are racing to create a vaccine against COVID-19. Another candidate, made by Inovio Pharmaceuticals, is expected to begin its own safety study next month in the U.S., China and South Korea. The Seattle experiment got underway days after the World Health Organization declared the new virus outbreak a pandemic because of its rapid global spread, which has infected more than 169,000 people and killed more than 6,500. COVID-19 has upended the world’s social and economic fabric since China first identified the virus in January, with broad regions shuttering schools and businesses, restricting travel, canceling entertainment and sporting events, and encouraging people to stay away from each other. Starting what scientists call a first-inhumans study is a momentous occasion for scientists, but Jackson described her team’s mood as “subdued.” They’ve been working aroundthe-clock readying the research in a part of the U.S. struck early and hard by the virus. Still, “going from not even knowing that this virus was out there ... to have any vaccine” in testing in about two months is unprecedented, Jackson told the AP. Some of the study’s carefully chosen healthy volunteers, ages 18 to 55, will get higher dosages than others to test how strong the inoculations should be. Scientists will check for any side effects and draw blood samples to test if the vaccine is revving up the immune system, looking for encouraging clues like the NIH earlier found in vaccinated mice. “We don’t know whether this vaccine will induce an immune response or whether it will be safe. That’s why we’re doing a trial,” Jackson stressed. “It’s not at the stage where it would be possible or prudent to give it to the general population.” Most of the vaccine research under way globally targets a protein aptly named “spike” that studs the surface of the new coronavirus and lets it invade human cells. Block that protein and people cannot get infected. Researchers at the NIH copied the section of the virus’ genetic code that contains the instructions for cells to create the spike protein. Moderna encased that “messenger RNA” into a vaccine.

Based on the most recent executive order from Governor DeWine, there will be no green beer for breakfast on college campuses. There will be no pub crawls on St. Patrick’s Day. Bars will not be decked out with shamrocks and impish leprechauns. New York and Chicago have already cancelled their huge St. Patrick’s Day parades. Even Dublin, Ireland will yield to the microscopic virus and stay off the streets. Instead of folks dancing, drinking and joking, instead of big celebratory hugs and back-slaps at St. Patrick’s Day parties, if people should happen to step out of their self-imposed isolation and, if they happen to see a friend on St. Patrick’s Day, they will most likely keep their distance and wave. Some brave folks may exchange a fist-bump or elbow-bump. Shoulder-taps and back-slaps will be our new normal this year. Several people I’ve spoken with think that all these precautions may be an overreaction. I don’t think so. I spent several decades as a respiratory therapist; we were on the frontlines of dealing with contagious diseases. I remember the fears that spread nationwide as we confronted swine flu, bird flu and even AIDS. Sixty years ago, there was quite a bit of discussion about the “Domino Effect.” That was part of the rationale for our involvement in Vietnam: the fear was that if one country fell to communism, others would topple. That phenomenon was compared to a line of dominoes falling over one at a time. We have all played with little domino tiles. We sit them on a flat surface. They need to be set up close enough to barely touch each other. When one falls over, we get to see the true “domino effect.” We used to make elaborate paths for the dominoes to follow as they fell. The first domino to be pushed over would barely touch the next one, which would continue, one after another, until they had all fallen. My brother used to bug me because my dominoes would be flopping over perfectly, and he would pick one domino out the line and the entire chain reaction would suddenly stop. I would try it again and he would pluck out a domino again. Little brothers can be so annoying. Think of the spread of a virus like the toppling of a line of dominoes. The domino-effect will not stop until the chain is broken. We need to break the chain of infection. Since the spread of this virus is from human-to-human, this can only be done by eliminating humanto-human contact. That’s the reason for all the restrictions imposed by our federal and state governments. They want to break the chain. Hang in there. We will get through it. This will be the first time that I have recycled something I found on the internet. I would love to be able to give the right person credit, but I have no idea who wrote it. It wasn’t me. Prayer for a Pandemic May we who are merely inconvenienced, remember those whose lives are at stake. May we who have no risk factors, remember those most vulnerable. May we who have the luxury of working from home, remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent. May we who have the flexibility to care for our children, remember those who have no options. May we who have to cancel our trips, remember those who have no safe place to go. May we who settled in for a quarantine at home, remember those who have no home. As fear grips our country, let us choose love. During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around each other, let us find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors. Amen. If you start suffering serious withdrawal from St. Patrick’s Day celebration, squirt a little green food coloring into your favorite lager. Let’s all be careful out there. Randy Riley is former Mayor of Wilmington and former Clinton County Commissioner. THEIR VIEW Virus shows we’re not as smart as we think It took a microscopic organism, a bat and a weird scaly anteater to remind humans that we aren’t as smart as we think. I don’t have to tell you about the coronavirus that is bringing the entire globe to a screeching halt. Stock markets are crashing, millions of people are being confined to their homes, schools are closed and even March Madness has fallen prey to the virus. There isn’t any agreement on how it all got started, let alone how to stop it. A number of conspiracy theorists believe a mistake in a Chinese lab set the virus free. This conjures up images of Fu Manchu in a room full of smoking test tubes when — oopsie daisy! — one crashes to the floor and noxious liquid leaks out a drain onto the unsuspecting streets of Wuhan. All the experts say this didn’t happen. The other prevalent theory is that bats tend to be loaded with coronavirus and one bat or a bunch of bats pooped as they flew over the forest (and without washing their little bat feet), leaving the ground contaminated. Along came a pangolin, an animal most of us here in North Everyone in the America know U.S. snickered nothing about, and for a little while he sucked up some until — wait a of the virus while minute! — the eating ants and tervirus showed up mites. here.

But this little microscopic coronavirus has brought civilization to its knees. Maybe we’re not so awesome after all. As it turns out, we’re all just little specks of sand on a giant cosmic beach, part of a vast interdependent system and not nearly as important as we think we are. All the little bits of sand feel secure until a wave shows up and then panic sets in. We think we know so much that we don’t know what to do when something shows up that we don’t understand. It seems to me a little more respect for microscopic things, strange scaly anteaters and all parts of God’s creation would be a good idea. I imagine mankind will weather this particular storm, but there are no guarantees. And what if someday something shows up we can’t figure out? I’ll tell you one thing, the pangolins won’t miss us.

TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Tuesday, March 17, the 77th day of 2020. There are 289 days left in the year. This is St. Patrick’s Day. Today’s Highlight in History On March 17, 1988, Avianca Flight 410, a Boeing 727, crashed after takeoff into a mountain in Colombia, killing all 143 people on board. On this date In 1762, New York held its first St. Patrick’s Day parade. In 1776, the Revolutionary War Siege of Boston ended as British forces evacuated the city. In 1912, the Camp Fire Girls organization was incorporated in Washington, D.C., two years to the day after it was founded in Thetford, Vermont. (The group is now known as Camp Fire.) In 1936, Pittsburgh’s Great St. Patrick’s Day Flood began as the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers and their tributaries, swollen by rain and melted snow, started exceeding flood stage; the high water was blamed for more than 60 deaths. In 1958, the U.S. Navy launched the Vanguard 1 satellite. In 1959, the Dalai Lama fled Tibet for India in the wake of a failed uprising by Tibetans against Chinese rule. In 1969, Golda Meir became prime minister of Israel. In 1970, the United States cast its first veto in the U.N. Security Council, killing a resolution that would have condemned Britain for failing to use force to overthrow the white-ruled government of Rhodesia. In 1973, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Robert L. Stirm, a freed prisoner of the Vietnam War, was joyously greeted by his family at Travis Air Force Base in California in a scene captured in a Pulitzer Prizewinning AP photograph. In 1992, 29 people were killed in the truck bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Illinois, Sen. Alan Dixon was defeated in his primary reelection bid by Carol Moseley-Braun, who went on to become the first black woman in the U.S. Senate. In 2005, baseball players told Congress that steroids were a problem in the sport; stars Rafael Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa testified they hadn’t used them while Mark McGwire refused to say whether he had. (McGwire owned up to steroid use in January 2010.) In 2009, U.S. journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee were detained by North Korea while reporting on North Korean refugees living across the border in China. (Both were convicted of entering North Korea illegally and were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor; both were freed in August 2009 after former President Bill Clinton met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.) The Seattle Post-Intelligencer published its final print edition. Ten years ago: Idaho Gov.

It’s not yet clear, however, if the draft itself will be held in the city. Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday the draft will take place April 23-25 as scheduled, but under a modified format still being developed. The draft will be televised regardless of its venue or format. “In consideration of current information related to COVID-19 and guidance from medical experts such as the CDC, and in coordination with public authorities in Nevada and the city of Las Vegas, the NFL will modify its plans” the league said in a statement. The NFL says it is exploring “innovative options” for how the process will be handled and will provide that information as it becomes available. “This decision reflects our foremost priority: the health and safety of all fans and citizens,” Goodell said. “While this outcome is disappointing both to the NFL and to the Las Vegas community, we look forward to partnering with the Raiders, the city of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for a future NFL draft as well as evaluating opportunities for other major NFL events in Las Vegas in the future, including the Super Bowl.” Next year’s draft is scheduled for Cleveland, and the 2022 draft has not been awarded, though Los Angeles has been considered the favorite. Kansas City has the 2023 draft. For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. The extravaganza the NFL planned for Las Vegas included closing down a portion of the Strip and using Caesars Palace and the lake in front of the Bellagio hotel. It would have had a large fan viewing zone for the proceedings and for concerts. There also would have been the NFL Draft Experience where fans would participate in interactive games, view the Vince Lombardi Trophy, attend autograph sessions with NFL play- ers and former players. The NFL began moving the draft around in 2015, going to Chicago for two years, then Philadelphia, then Dallas and Nashville. Most of the league’s cities, particularly those that won’t likely host a Super Bowl, have shown interest in having it. As for next month, nothing is certain. A good guess would be that teams will make their selections remotely from their cities, and a central studio might be used for the television presentations. NFL players approve labor deal, including 17-game season By Barry Wilner Associated Press By a close vote, with some 500 union members not participating, NFL players approved a new labor agreement with the league. It features a 17-game regular season, higher salaries, increased roster sizes and larger pensions for current and former players. The deal, which runs through the 2030 season, was accepted by the 32 team owners last month. The NFL Players Association’s membership spent the last week voting on the 439-page document after its executive board narrowly rejected it by a 6-5 vote, and the player representatives voted 17-14 in favor, with one abstention. Clearly, there was some strong player opposition to this collective bargaining agreement, though. Many stars, including Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, J.J. Watt and Todd Gurley, spoke out against it. The total vote, among the nearly 2,500 union members who participated, was 1,019-959. Ratification required a simple majority — results were announced Sunday — and there could be lasting resentment among union members, given how close the vote was. “Can’t believe we agreed to that lol,” Colts tight end Eric Ebron tweeted. “We can only play this game for so long and y’all didn’t want everything we could get out of it? … 2030 y’all do better.” Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey expressed displeasure about the turnout for voting. See NFL | 7 Networks get through first weekend with taped programming By Joe Reedy Julio Cortez | AP An empty practice field is seen at the Miami Marlins spring training baseball facility Monday in Jupiter, Fla. On Sunday night, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended gatherings of 50 people or more be canceled or postponed across the country for the next eight weeks. Major League Baseball planned to update teams Monday on its health policy. MLB delays opening day to mid-May at earliest Associated Press Scott Van Pelt was supposed to be breaking down the NCAA Tournament bracket on a busy Sunday night on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.” Instead, Van Pelt was figuring out how to fill most of the hour with the sports world on hold because of the spread of the coronavirus. “I have no idea. Right now having a rundown is a bit pointless,” Van Pelt said. “It’s like changing recipes on the fly. Are we making cookies? No, making something entirely different. I don’t know what else can be cancelled on our watch. It’s been quite a week.” Van Pelt was supposed to be doing halftime segments during last Wednesday’s NBA games. What ended up happening was Van Pelt updating viewers about the NBA season as well as providing interviews and analysis once the New Orleans Pelicans’ game at the Sacramento Kings was postponed. Van Pelt and ESPN weren’t the only ones having to scramble to fill programming. CBS aired championship games from past Big Ten and Atlantic 10 tournaments on Saturday and Sunday. During the hour that CBS was supposed to be showing the tournament selections, viewers in New York saw the news while Los Angeles aired an infomercial. NBC and Golf Channel showed the final two rounds of last year’s Players Championship after the PGA Tour canceled the final three rounds Friday. Fox left it up to their affiliates to program the gap left by the cancellation of Sunday’s NASCAR race in Atlanta and NBCSN re-aired last year’s IndyCar season opener. ESPN at least had some live programming on Saturday with a UFC card from Brazil. Sunday See NETWORKS | 7 NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball pushed back opening day until mid-May at the earliest on Monday because of the new coronavirus after the federal government recommended restricting events of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred made the announcement following a conference call with executives of the 30 teams. “The clubs remain committed to playing as many games as possible when the season begins,” the commissioner’s office said in a statement. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended Sunday that gatherings of 50 people or more be canceled or postponed across the country for the next eight weeks. MLB called off the rest of the spring training schedule on Thursday and said opening day, which had been sched- uled for March 26, was postponed for at least two weeks. Teams and players agree that two to four weeks of additional spring training will be needed before the regular season begins. The Major League Baseball Players Association sent an email to agents on Monday saying that for players who went home or to their team’s regular-season city it would pay $1,100 allowances through April 9 to players on 40-man rosters as of March 13. That amount also would go to players with minor league contracts at big league spring training who were on 40-man rosters at the end of last season. The union also is negotiating with MLB over resetting the dates for players with opt-out clauses in their deals. The sides also are likely to agree on a roster freeze. This year marked the earliest opening day other than for interna- tional games. As it stood, Game 7 of the World Series would have been Oct. 28, and teams and players could push the postseason into November. Any change to the 162game schedule would necessitate bargaining over an array of issues, including when and how much players get paid and how much major league service they are credited for. Service time determines eligibility for free agency and salary arbitration. MLB had not had a mass postponement of openers since 1995, when the season was shortened from 162 games to 144 following a 7 1/2-month players’ strike that also wiped out the 1994 World Series. Opening day was pushed back from April 2 to April 26 and player salaries were reduced by 11.1% because the games were lost due to a strike. After a 32-day spring training lockout in 1990 caused opening day to be delayed a week until April 9, the season was extended by three days to allow each team a full 162-game schedule. Baseball’s first strike lasted from April 1-13 in 1972, and the season started April 15. Teams played 153-156 games. The 1918 season was cut short because of World War I. Provost Marshal Gen. Enoch Crowder announced a regulation on May 23 that men not involved in useful occupations appear before the draft board. The War Department initially did not rule baseball was nonessential under the “work or fight” order but Secretary of War Newton D. Baker announced on July 26 that baseball had to comply by Sept. 1. After some negotiation, the regular season ended Sept. 2 with teams playing 123-131 games, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs in a World Series played from Sept. 5-11. �SPORTS Daily Sentinel NFL Steelers place franchise tag on OLB Bud Dupree From page 6 “Around 500 players didn’t even vote on the new CBA …,” he tweeted. “It’s good and bad to this deal. I could see why anyone would vote either way. I just think it’s amazing guys don’t even care.” Almost immediately, players were urging unity, particularly in the face of the criticism from within their ranks about approving the deal. “The democratic process has played itself out,” tweeted Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, one of the most influential voices in the union. “We must be committed to unifying our current and former members. While I don’t agree with the decision because of its negative impacts on some current and former players, I do respect our process and will push forward accordingly.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, not surprisingly, praised the players’ acceptance of the new CBA. “We are pleased that the players have voted to ratify the proposed new CBA, which will provide substantial benefits to all current and retired players, increase jobs, ensure continued progress on player safety, and give our fans more and better football,” Goodell said in a statement. “We appreciate the tireless efforts of the members of the Management Council Executive Committee and the NFLPA leadership, both of whom PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are holding onto outside linebacker Bud Dupree. The team placed the franchise tag on Dupree on Monday, just hours before the NFL-mandated deadline for teams to use the designation. The move means Dupree, who collected a careerhigh 11 1/2 sacks in 2019, could make around $16 million in 2020 if he signs the tag, though that number would likely change if Dupree reaches an agreement with the Steelers on a long-term deal by July 15. Coach Mike Tomlin called retaining Dupree “a priority” heading into the offseason after the 2015 firstround pick flourished while playing across from AllPro T.J. Watt. Dupree recorded 16 tackles for a loss in 2019, fourth-most in the NFL last season. He also added four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Dupree played so well he forced the Steelers’ hand. The club opted not to approach him on a contract extension last summer, turning 2019 into basically a “prove it” season. Dupree said he understood the team’s decision and stressed he didn’t take it personally, adding in the end he was fine betting on himself. The bet paid off big time, though it leaves the Steelers with some work to do if they want to get under the salary cap. Pittsburgh was already over the $198.2 salary cap for 2020 before tagging Dupree. The Steelers could trim salary by cutting veterans like offensive lineman Ramon Foster and linebacker Mark Barron and restructuring some contracts of high-profile players like quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and defensive end Stephon Tuitt. General manager Kevin Colbert said he doesn’t anticipate the Steelers running into contract concerns with Dupree the way they did with the last player they used the franchise tag on, running back Le’Veon Bell. Bell played under the tag in 2017. When the Steelers used it on him again in 2018, he opted not to sign it and sat out the entire season instead. That doesn’t figure to happen with the durable and popular Dupree, who has missed just one game over the last three seasons. Browns place tender on Kareem Hunt, near deal with TE Hooper CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns gave Kareem Hunt a second chance, and now they’re willing to dangle him. Cleveland opened a unique and unprecedented free agency period Monday by placing a second-round tender on Kareem Hunt, the troubled running back who played eight games last season after returning from an NFL suspension and had a minor misstep this winter. Hunt is a restricted free agent and can negotiate with other teams about a contract. If he reaches an agreement elsewhere, the Browns can match any offer. If the team decides not to match the offer, Cleveland would receive a second-round draft pick from the team that signs him. Given his background — Hunt was banned eight games by the league for two physical altercations when he played for Kansas City — it would be risky for a team to take a chance on him. The Cleveland native is comfortable with the Browns, who have continued to support him throughout his suspension and following a disturbing incident in January, when police found marijuana in his car after a speeding stop. With the league conducting business despite nationwide shutdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Browns made another early splash in free agency by moving toward a contract with two-time Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper, a person familiar with the team’s plans told The Associated Press. Hooper was one of the main free agency targets for Cleveland, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because teams can’t officially announce deals until Wednesday. NFL Network reported the sides have agreed to terms on a package that will make Hooper the NFL’s highest-paid tight end. In adding the 25-year-old Hooper, the Browns will have another offensive playmaker for quarterback Baker Mayfield, who struggled in his second NFL season. Hooper can a dependable option to go along with star wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry and running back Nick Chubb. New Browns coach Kevin Stefanski preferred to run two-tight end formations during his one season as Minnesota’s offensive coordinator. Hooper could be paired with 2017 first-round pick David Njoku, who missed most of last season with a broken wrist suffered in Week 2. Hunt signed with Cleveland last February, two months after he was released by Kansas City. The Chiefs said the 24-year-old Hunt had lied to them about two incidents, including one in which he kicked and shoved a woman during an argument in a Cleveland hotel. He came back after missing the first eight games and was used primarily as a blocker for Chubb, who finished with 1,494 yards. Hunt rushed for 179 yards and scored two touchdowns. He also caught 37 passes for 285 yards and a TD. The Browns also released veteran safety Morgan Burnett. He suffered a torn Achilles tendon last season and missed the final six games. Cleveland also tendered exclusive tags to free agents Pharoah Brown, Dontrell Hilliard and KhaDarel Hodge. With more than $60 million of salary-cap space, new Browns general manager Andrew Berry was expected to be active in free agency, with tight end and offensive tackle among his priorities. Tuesday, March 17, 2020 7 devoted nearly a year to detailed, good faith negotiations to reach this comprehensive, transformative agreement.” After discussions with the union during the day, the NFL sent a memo to all teams Sunday night that the league will open the 2020 NFL business season on Wednesday, as scheduled, with free agency and trades. A delay had been considered a possibility given league restrictions on travel as a safeguard against the new coronavirus. There was no immediate word on timing and potential format changes for the draft, scheduled for Las Vegas from April 23-25, something that was also expected to be discussed by the NFL and NFLPA. A 17-game schedule won’t happen before the 2021 season. The mechanics for an uneven number of games — neutral sites or which teams get nine home games — will be worked out in the interim. Extending the season was a nonissue with the players in 2011, when the current 10-year deal was finalized after a 4 1/2 month lockout. It has upset many of them as it will become a reality in another season or so. Jaguars receiver Chris Conley posted his objections to a variety of items. “Players voted for a 17-game season,” he said on Instagram. “No extra bye week. A disproportionate pay increase that will be less than promised because of the growth of the leagues Networks day they showed the entire “BasketballL A Love Story” series. ABC also showed From page 6 “30 for 30” films as was mostly films from well as a couple episodes from the “Colthe “30 for 30” series lege Football 150” while ESPN2 re-aired some of the top college series. FS1 and FS2 basketball games from had a mix of college basketball and XFL the season. On Satur- revenue. No resolved player restrictions or tags. Added mandatory fines for hold outs that take an accrued season from veteran players. On top of that this CBA cut benefits for some players in shaky medical condition. The worst part is that 500 people didn’t vote. We look like a weak union to the owners and for this reason they will continue to try to low ball and take advantage of players rights.” Earlier, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith explained the ins and outs of negotiating the new deal in a lengthy “open letter” tweet after the voting had concluded Saturday night. “The current proposal contains increases across almost every category of wages, hours, working conditions and benefits for former and current players,” he said. “Like any contested negotiation … the proposal also reflects trades with the counterparty which have to be carefully weighed and assessed across the entirety of the deal. Please be confident that I hear — loudly and clearly — those of you who have passionately expressed their perspective that these gains are not enough when weighed against, for example, adding another game. That position reflects how some members have chosen to weigh what aspect of the deal is important to them. “The fact is, however, that there are literally hundreds of issues in any collective bargaining agreement that affect thousands of circum- stances and impact thousands of current and former players which we must consider carefully.” The gains the players make in the new agreement in sharing “a bigger portion of the growing pie,” according to outgoing NFLPA President Eric Winston, swayed the vote. Among those gains: —An increase from the 47% of league revenues given to the players, with that percentage dependent on the length of the season. —A reduction of the preseason, initially from four games to three. More time off during training camps. —Upgraded pensions, with the addition of groups of previous players not included in past agreements. —Two more roster spots per team’s practice squad, with players having more freedom to move up to the regular roster and back. Two more will be added later in the agreement. —Narrowing the testing period for players for marijuana use, plus lowered discipline for using it; and a reduction in on-field fines. Adding two playoff teams was not part of the bargaining process, but the owners were able to do so without union approval. That will occur this season, with only the top team in each conference getting a wildcard bye. With labor peace for the rest of the decade, the NFL now will turn to negotiating new deals with its broadcast partners. re-airs. Whether that remains the template for future weekends remains to be seen. Van Pelt said the early plan for Sunday’s “SportsCenter” included analyzing players approving the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement as well as any signings that took place. He was also planning to interview Penn State senior forward Lamar Stevens on seeing his season end abruptly when the Nittany Lions appeared to be headed to March Madness.

It would also cast serious doubt on the ability to hold other major U.S. sporting events as planned, such as the Kentucky Derby in early May. The NBA was already bracing to play games without fans in arenas, something that would have started late last week had a player — Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz — not tested positive for the virus, COVID-19. Utah teammate Donovan Mitchell and Detroit’s Christian Wood have tested positive since, but Gobert’s diagnosis was enough for the league to say that it was suspending play. “I’ve been feeling a little better every single day,” Gobert said in a video posted Sunday. He added, “I wish I would have took this thing more seriously.” The NBA has already been asking teams to share availability for their arenas through the end of July, a sign that the league is prepared to extend the season at least that long if necessary — and those moves came a couple of days before the CDC made its latest recommendation. The NBA regular season was to have ended April 15 and the NBA Finals were to have started June 4, with the season done on or before June 21. For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

EURZVH�MREV�‡�SRVW�\RXU�UHVXPH�‡�JHW�DGYLFH jobmatchohio.com �SPORTS/WEATHER NHL pushes back timeline Donovan Mitchell says he still doesn’t even feel sick Associated Press All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz says he showed no symptoms of being sick before testing positive for the coronavirus, and he continues to have no signs of illness since going into isolation. Mitchell, speaking to ABC’s “Good Morning America” in an interview broadcast Monday, also revealed that it “took awhile for me to kind of cool off” at Rudy Gobert, his All-Star teammate who was the first NBA player to have a positive test for the virus revealed. Gobert has said in recent days that he did not take the threat of the illness seriously. “I’m glad he’s doing OK. I’m glad I’m doing well,” said Mitchell, who did not say if he has spoken to Gobert in recent days. He has seen video updates Gobert has posted to social media updating fans about his own condition. Mitchell said he continues to feel fine, and that the worst physical issue he’s had during this process was going through the test for COVID-19 itself. He said getting swabbed was so uncomfortable that it left him in tears. “I’m asymptomatic,” Mitchell said. “I don’t have any symptoms. I could walk down the street (and) if it wasn’t public knowledge that I was sick, you wouldn’t know it. I think that’s the scariest part about this virus. You may seem fine, be fine. And you never know who you may be talking to, who they’re going home to.” Mitchell’s father, Donovan Mitchell Sr., works for the New York Mets and was tested last week as well. Mitchell Sr.’s test was negative. For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered.

The league said “depending on world developments,” consideration will be given to reopening practice facilities after the selfquarantine period ends in late March. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver last week said his league’s hiatus would likely last at least a month.

Gobert’s positive test was disclosed Wednesday and Mitchell’s on Thursday. Christian Wood of the Detroit Pistons learned on Saturday he has tested positive for COVID-19 as well. Wood played against the Jazz last week. Gobert — thinking at the time he was making a joke — touched a few Jazz reporters’ digital recording devices at a media availability March 9, two days before his positive test became public and forced the NBA to suspend the season. It cannot, however, be concluded he is responsible for Mitchell or Wood contracting the virus. Mitchell said he has been studying his old highlights during his time in isolation, and insisted that if the Jazz had to start a seven-game playoff series Monday he would feel able to play. “It’s kind of bringing back good memories, but you miss the game,” Mitchell said. He could miss the game for much longer. The NBA’s original plan was to shut down for 30 days, though new guidance issued Sunday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that all gatherings of 50 people or more be postponed or canceled for eight weeks — which, barring an adjustment in that plan, almost certainly means no major sports in North America will resume until mid-May at the earliest. Mitchell also said he is partnering with the Salt Lake City Granite School District to help, he said, provide meals to as many as 10,040 food-insecure children per day during the unplanned school shutdown there. The Jazz said that district has 88 schools, most of them elementary schools. Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and his wife, Ayesha Curry, have announced a similar initiative, partnering with a food bank in Oakland, California, to provide as many as 1 million meals for students affected by school shutdowns there. Many other NBA players also say they will donate cash to ease the effect the league’s shutdown will have on arena workers. 2 PM Daily Sentinel Clendenin 53/35 Charleston 55/39 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
