Democratic Party sues over election delay
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Politicians of all
stripes expressed frustration Tuesday after Ohio’s
primary was postponed
until June by the state’s
elected ofﬁcials amid
concerns attendance at
polling places would contribute to the coronavirus
pandemic.
The Ohio Democratic
Party sued Tuesday
afternoon over Secretary
of State Frank LaRose’s
decision to set a new
date, saying that power
rests only with the Legislature.
The state’s top health
ofﬁcial, Dr. Amy Acton,
cited the need to contain
the pandemic in calling
off the election hours
before voters were supposed to cast ballots
Tuesday morning.
Republican Gov. Mike
DeWine announced the
decision late Monday
after a judge rejected an
administration-backed
request that in-person

voting be delayed to
avoid crowding at polling
places that could expose
people and deter older
voters. LaRose quickly
ordered all county election boards to comply.
DeWine and LaRose,
a Republican, defended
their action in a statement Tuesday night, saying it saved lives and will
allow both absentee ballots and in-person voting.
Allowing the election
would have “dangerously
advanced the spread of
coronavirus across Ohio,”
they said in a statement.
“It is abundantly clear
that it would have been
impossible to carry out a
fair, accessible, and safe
election today.”
Most people who contract COVID-19 have relatively mild symptoms, but
it can be deadly for some,
especially the elderly and
those with underlying
health problems. Most
people infected with the
virus recover in a matter

of weeks.
While DeWine has
received wide praise and
national attention for his
aggressive response to
the coronavirus outbreak,
he faced second-guessing.
Republican House
Speaker Larry Householder decried “unprecedented chaos and confusion” and the undermining of Ohio’s “system of
government,” saying he
was contacting legislators about their ability to
attend a session to “legally” address the primary.
Householder, of Glenford, said he has asked
Attorney General Dave
Yost about exempting
legislators from current
restrictions on gatherings
of 50 or more.
His Democratic counterpart, House Minority
Emilia Sykes, of Akron,
said the Legislature
should have been convened before the scheduled primary.
President Donald

Trump, asked during a
White House brieﬁng
about DeWine’s decision,
praised the governor for
“doing a great job” during
the crisis, although he
said he prefers to see elections go on as scheduled.
“I just think an election
is a very special thing,”
Trump said. “That would
be a decision that would
be made by him. He felt it
was necessary. … Somebody’s challenging it, so
the courts will ultimately
decide.”
The Democratic presidential candidates, former Vice President Joe
Biden and Vermont Sen.
Bernie Sanders, are competing for 136 delegates
in Ohio. Congressional,
state and local races are
also at issue.

Steps will lessen exposure, preserve staff, supplies and equipment
ATHENS — After
careful and thoughtful
consideration and substantial input from medical staff leadership and
administration, OhioHealth has made the difﬁcult decision to cancel
elective surgeries and
procedures, effective at
the close of business on
Wednesday, March 18,
2020.
“These are simply
unprecedented times
for us as a country and
especially for us as
medical providers,” said
Bruce Vanderhoff, MD,
senior vice president
and chief medical ofﬁcer at OhioHealth. “As
we brace for a possible
surge of COVID-19
patients, we must do

everything we can to
preserve our resources
and prepare our community, our facilities
and our staff.”
Taking this step is in
alignment with recommendations from the
U.S. Surgeon General,
the American College
of Surgeons and numerous other public health
experts.
Cancelling elective
surgeries will:
· help protect our
patients from possible
exposure to the COVID19
· increase inpatient
bed capacity
· preserve personal
protective equipment
(PPE)
· free up equipment

such as ventilators and
equipment for critically
ill patients
· and conserve the
critically threatened
blood supply.
What is an elective
surgery?
An elective procedure
is deﬁned as one in
which there is no immediate harm in deferring
the surgery. Examples
of this are joint replacements, bunions,
cataracts, bariatrics,
asymptomatic hernia,
benign breast, benign
endocrine, etc.
What is NOT an elective surgery?
If any of the following criteria are met, the
surgery or procedure
will NOT be postponed:

· Threat to the
patient’s life if surgery
is not performed
· Threat of permanent dysfunction of
an extremity or organ
system
· Risk of metastasis
or progression of staging
· Risk of rapidly worsening to severe symptoms (time sensitivity)
“We know this will
be hard for many of
our patients and physicians,” continued
Vanderhoff, “but we
also know it is the right
thing to do right now.
The more prepared we
are to handle any surge
that could come along,
the better chance we
will have of protecting and caring for our
entire community.”

Ex-leader begins defense
LONDON (AP) — Former Scottish First Minister
Alex Salmond denounced some of the sex-crimes
charges against him as “deliberate fabrications for a
political purpose” as he began giving evidence at his
trial on Tuesday.
Salmond told the High Court in Edinburgh on Tuesday that he had a “consensual sexual liaison” with a
woman who alleges he tried to rape her.
Salmond, 65, denies 13 sex-crime allegations
against nine women. One charge by another woman
was dropped Monday.
A former Scottish government ofﬁcial, who is being
referred to as Woman H, previously told the court
she felt “hunted” by Salmond moments before an
alleged attempted rape in the ﬁrst minister’s ofﬁcial
residence, Bute House in Edinburgh, in June 2014.
She also said she had been sexually assaulted by him
the previous month when he allegedly kissed her face,
neck and touched her legs.

Brother convicted
LONDON (AP) — The younger brother of the
suicide bomber who killed 22 people at an Ariana
Grande concert in Manchester, England, was convicted Tuesday of murder for helping to plan the
attack.
A jury at London’s Central Criminal Court found
Hashem Abedi, 22, guilty of 22 counts of murder,
one count of attempted murder for those injured and
one count of conspiring to cause explosions. Relatives of some victims sobbed as the jury foreman
announced the unanimous guilty verdicts.

THEIR VIEW

World turns

I am always amazed at how suspicious we
humans become in the face of, well, everything
that comes along. Let’s examine.
Communist inﬁltration into
churches, civic organizations and
all sectors of our communities
back in the ’50s and ’60s. The alien
remained secretly housed at area 51
back in the 1950s. The late 1960s

lunar surface was staged in a Hollywood studio. And those examples
don’t even scratch the surface of the skepticism we
humans have displayed through the years.
It was largely publicized that Mama Cass Elliot
choked on a ham sandwich leading to her untimely death in 1974. The autopsy blamed the singer’s
death on heart failure and showed no food in her
windpipe.
Conspiracy theories are why “so-called” reality
programs and programs like Geraldo Rivera back
in the 1980s proved to be so successful.
We couldn’t let Elvis rest in peace as many of us
were convinced that he faked his own death. That
theory lives on today in the hearts of many.
I recall old National Enquirer tabloid stories
showing an incapacitated JFK being cared for at
an undisclosed, secluded nursing home back in the
1970s.
Completely baseless, inaccurate and distorted
images of reality is what feeds so many people,
and often, many of us buy into it.
The most recent event to spawn conspiracy
theories is the present-day Coronavirus pandemic.
Current popular beliefs range from its threat to
our national health and welfare being “blown out
of proportion” to it being the second coming of
the bubonic plague. A local county health commissioner assures me that the truth lies somewhere
closer to the middle of the two scenarios. The
important thing to remember is that we currently
do not have a vaccine to combat this virus, and
that is what makes it such a threat. Further, it may
take up to a year for that to happen. Regardless, it
is best to err on the side of caution.
I had to laugh (and believe me, I needed to
laugh about something) this weekend when I
heard that the coronavirus was planted by President Trump in an effort for him to control us.
Within the same hour, I heard that the virus was
unleashed upon the elderly and immunologically
weakened of the world by obstructionists in the
Democratic party in an effort to make Republicans
look bad, therefore resulting in the unseating of
the Trump administration in the upcoming presidential election.
What do I believe? Glad you asked. Lean in
and listen closely. I believe beyond a shadow of a
doubt that God is in control. I believe that while
mankind should be good to one another and to the
planet that we inhabit, we don’t own it, we’re only
using it, not leasing it, because we were placed
here by God, and we will be here at God’s pleasure
until He sees ﬁt for us to not be here. And, yes, it
will be on His terms, not ours.
I believe the coronavirus and the threat it poses
are real. Further, I believe that the precautionary
measures outlined by the medical community and
placed forth by authorities are necessary. Let’s
face it, they know more about it than we do. You
think not? Then why do we scramble for a medical professional when you become ill? Good logic
needs to rule here.
If an individual or group desired to unleash such
a killer bug, safeguards have been put in place to
prevent it. Proof of that logic is the fact that some
crazed terrorist, the likes of which we have dealt
with in years gone by, have not been able to carry
out such an act. You and I both know that if it
were possible, they would have.
Conspiracy theories are fun. They make great
gossip, stellar novels and exercise our brains perhaps. However, most have little bearing on reality.
Just sayin’.

Quoting former First
Lady Eleanor Roosevelt,
DeWine stated, “This is
no ordinary time. This is
no ordinary time in Ohio.
This is no ordinary time in
the U.S.”
Other developments
regarding the COVID19 outbreak on Tuesday
include:

by other state medical
ofﬁcials in making the
announcement.
Dr. Andy Thomas, chief
medical ofﬁcer for The
Ohio State University
Wexner Medical Center,
stated that they have been
working to determine what
surgeries and procedures
would be safe to delay.
“We now have guidance for
healthcare providers … we
created criteria to make
something not elective.”
Non-elective procedures
would include a “surgery
that is life-saving, a procedure that saves an organ,
or a procedure that prevents the progression of
disease.”
Mike Abrams, CEO of
the Ohio Hospital Association joined DeWine and
Acton for the press conference, speaking to the status of Ohio’s hospitals as
they prepare for the virus.
“The healthcare infrastructure in Ohio is
strong,” said Abrams. He
added that hospitals across
the state are currently at
around 75 percent capacity
with typical hospitalizations this time of year.
“Ohio’s hospitals have
plans in place for addressing a bigger surge. We are
prepared,” said Abrams.
Acton stated that there
is “no scenario” in which
a surge of cases does not

happen, but it is controlling the surge that makes a
difference in the outcome.
“Timing is everything,
but know we will get
through this together.
What we are doing is really
making a difference,” said
Acton.
Referencing a study done
in the United Kingdom,
Acton stated, “If we did
nothing, the estimates
were that 2.2 million Americans would die. But if we
do these interventions, we
can cut the hospital surge
by two-thirds and decrease
deaths by half. This is why
what we are doing makes
all the difference.”
“The better job we all do
at controlling the spread,
the better off we’re all
going to be. We can’t write
a rule that will solve everything, but collectively,
when we all act smart, it
will beneﬁt us all in the
end,” said Lt. Gov. Jon
Husted.
DeWine did not order
any additional closures or
restrictions on Tuesday,
outside of the order on
medical procedures coming
from Acton.
When asked about how
the public should proceed
with matters such as
weddings and funerals,
DeWine stated, “The sun
is going to come out again.
We’ll get back to normal.
Regarding weddings, funerals — we ask you to ﬁgure

From page 1

really focused on getting the facts. This is
not any area of my expertise at all.”
He then mentioned his wife, Fran, who
he has known since the ﬁrst grade and who
knows DeWine’s academic history quite
well.
“She got A’s in science and biology,”
DeWine said. “Let’s just say I didn’t get
A’s. It wasn’t even close to A’s. We’ve surrounded ourselves with people and utilized
them to keep asking questions … and try to
dig down and get the facts.”
DeWine said he also learned to trust his
gut feeling. When he didn’t trust his intuition and allowed himself to be talked out
of a decision, he “usually made a mistake.”
Tapping into history
DeWine said that he has been reading
“The Great Inﬂuenza: The Epic Story of
the Deadliest Plague in History” by John
M. Barry and used it as an outline for how
to approach the COVID-19 problem.
St. Louis jumped out ahead of the
pandemic and cancelled its Liberty Loan
parade while Philadelphia held the parade,
reacted two weeks later and had more than
12,000 deaths while St. Louis had no more
than 700.
“We had no idea this was coming,”
DeWine said. “All the evidence is and all
the people who model pandemics say that
you have a small window, and to take these
drastic actions, and if you don’t take them
in that window of opportunity, it’s too late.”
DeWine said one wouldn’t think two
weeks would make a difference but it did.
“We took these actions to save lives,”
he said. “We know they are inconveniencing and they cause hardship to people.
Discomfort. I took these actions because I
knew from all the data they will in fact save
lives.”
Data shows, DeWine said, that if no
action had been taken, between 40 and 70
percent of all Ohioans would contract the
virus.
“We think the action we’ve taken will
knock that down some,” he said. “If it
spikes up like it did in Italy … we don’t
want to be in a situation like Italy is, where
we have to decide who lives and who dies.
That’s why we took the action.”
DeWine has been criticized by some on
social media for doing too much too soon.
But he would rather be overcautious than
not cautious enough.
“If you’re going to make a mistake, it better be on the side of being too aggressive
than not aggressive enough,” he said. “I’m
the one that’s got to sleep with myself and
live with myself.”
There’s always something
When he was elected, DeWine was forewarned by others who served to expect the
unexpected.
“I had several former governors tell me
there will be something that comes up that
you had no idea was coming,” DeWine said.
George Voinovich, under whom DeWine
served as lieutenant governor, had to deal
with prison riots in Lucasville in 1993.
In his ﬁrst year as governor, DeWine had
to deal with the Memorial Day tornadoes in
the Miami Valley and the Oregon District
shooting. A water shortage and a KKK rally
in Dayton also drew state-wide attention.
“You sort of expect a ﬂood, you sort of
expect tornadoes, this is Ohio,” DeWine
said. “Coronavirus is, except for people
who study these … it’s not something you
think about. (But) everything I’ve done has
prepared me for making these decisions.
That doesn’t mean I’m making the right
decision. If you get the facts, your odds go
up pretty good.”
Leading by example
When the coronavirus ﬁrst reared its
ugly head, DeWine moved quickly to clear
his schedule so he could focus on the battle
about to ensue. He and Fran also cut back
on their public schedule.
The First Lady was busy traveling around
the state promoting the Imagination
Library, which is up and running in just
about every Ohio county. The governor
also put off various appearances.
“You can’t be out there shaking hands
with people,” DeWine said. “We’ve got to
set the right example. They have to understand the importance of keeping separation
from other people. We can impose so many
rules but people have to use their own common sense. People by the day are getting
more, there’s more understanding of the
nature of this.”
DeWine said it’s what is expected of a
state leader.
“Ultimately this is the type of crisis
where a governor is supposed to step up,”
he said. “You want the governor to take
care of the most serious problems. This is
what we do. What we’re supposed to do.”
And he has no doubt Ohio will survive.
“The sun is going to come up,” he said.
“But it’s going to get darker before it gets
lighter. Ohioans are resilient. I’ve seen
them through tornadoes, I’ve seen them
through the Oregon District shooting. Our
goal is to get everybody through that twomonth period or whatever it is. Ohioans
will rally. We’ll make it.”

NAIA decision
ends Rio
Grande spring
sports seasons
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The 2020
season for the University of Rio
Grande’s Spring athletic teams has
come to an end.
The National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
announced Monday that, due to
growing health concerns regarding
COVID-19, it was canceling the 2020
season.
“After convening the Council of
Presidents Executive Committee
this morning, and with input from
the National Administrative Council
and National Eligibility Committee,
the decision has been made to cancel
the spring 2020 sports season, effective immediately,” NAIA President
&amp; CEO, Jim Carr, said in a release.
“We know this is extremely disappointing, especially for our studentathletes. All possible options for
maintaining the spring season were
discussed at great length by multiple
governance groups. However, the
growing state of emergency due to
COVID-19, as well as the Center
for Disease Control’s recommendation yesterday to limit gatherings
to fewer than 50 people for eight
weeks, meant we could not in good
conscience move forward, possibly
putting student-athletes, staff, and

Brady leaving
Patriots, says
‘football journey’
is elsewhere
By Kyle Hightower
Associated Press

Tom Brady, the centerpiece of the
New England Patriots’ championship
dynasty over the past two decades,
says he is leaving the only professional football home he has ever had.
The 42-year-old six-time Super
Bowl winner posted Tuesday on
social media “my football journey
will take place elsewhere.”
The comments were the ﬁrst to
indicate that the most-decorated
player in NFL history would leave
New England. Statements later by
Patriots owner Robert Kraft and
coach Bill Belichick made it clear
that Brady’s remarkable stint in New
England is over.
In a two-part message, Brady
thanked the Patriots and the fans
and said “FOREVER A PATRIOT.”
“I don’t know what my football
future holds, but it is time for me
to open a new stage for my life and
my career,” he wrote. “Although my
football journey will take place elsewhere, I appreciate everything that
we have achieved and am grateful for
our incredible TEAM experiences.”
The one-year contract Brady
signed before last season expires
Wednesday afternoon, and his agent
could negotiate a deal with another
team on Tuesday, though it can’t be
ofﬁcial yet. He will count $13.5 million toward New England’s salary
cap due to the signing bonus money
he received in 2019.
Kraft said of Brady: “I had hoped
this day would never come, but rather that Tom would end his remarkable career in a Patriots uniform
after yet another Super Bowl championship. Unfortunately, the two
sides were unable to reach an agreement to allow that dream to become
a reality. While sad today, the overwhelming feeling I have is appreciation for his countless contributions
to our team and community.”
A four-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player and three-time league
MVP, Brady has been the enduring
face of the Patriots during a run
that added another layer to Boston’s
already rich sports history. Only Bill

Air Pollution State Implementation Plan
Date of Action: 03/10/2020
Public Notice
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
Request for Designation to Attainment for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
General James M. Gavin and Kyger Creek Station Power
Plants
Notice is hereby given that the Director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, (Ohio EPA) is requesting that the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) revise the current air quality designation for the area around the
General James M. Gavin and the Kyger Creek Station Power
Plants to attainment/unclassifiable with respect to the 2010
1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS).
On July 12, 2016, U.S. EPA published (81 FR 45039) final second round designations for the one-hour SO2 standard. U.S.
EPA designated the area around Gavin and Kyger Creek
(specifically, all of Gallia County and the western half of Meigs
County, which includes Bedford, Columbia, Rutland, Salem,
Salisbury, and Scipio Townships) as unclassifiable. As described in their Final Technical Support Document, U. S. EPA
found after considering available information that a reliable basis did not exist for designating the area either as attainment or
nonattainment.
Since that time, three years of complete quality-assured ambient monitoring data is now available from four monitors located in the Gavin-Kyger monitoring network. Based on this
monitoring data, Ohio EPA is now submitting a request for the
area to be designated as attainment under Round 4 area designations that will occur by December 31, 2020.
These actions must be noticed to allow public comment and to
satisfy U.S. EPA requirements for public involvement in state
implementation plan related activities. Comments should be
submitted on or before April 13, 2020 at the following address:

Anjelica Moreno at (614) 644-1961 or
anjelica.moreno@epa.ohio.gov no later than April 13, 2020. If a
public hearing is requested, a new notification will be published
to identify the time and location of the public hearing. The public hearing will be held at least 30 days after the date of the new
notification.
All interested persons are entitled to comment on these
changes. All comments submitted to the above address by the

Kentucky Derby now set for September due to virus
By Beth Harris

Associated Press

The Kentucky Derby
was postponed until
September on Tuesday,
the latest rite of spring in
sports to be struck by the
new coronavirus along
with the Masters, March
Madness and baseball
season.
The Derby, America’s
longest continuously held
sports event, had been
scheduled for May 2. It
will now be run Sept. 5,
kicking off Labor Day
weekend.
“We’ll roll with the
punches, and feel very,
very good that September is the right date,”
Bill Carstanjen, CEO of
Churchill Downs Inc.,
said on a conference call.
It’s the ﬁrst time the
Derby won’t be held on
its traditional ﬁrst Saturday in May since 1945,
when it was run June 9.

The federal government
suspended horse racing nationwide for most
of the ﬁrst half of the
year before World War
II ended in early May,
but not in time to hold
the ﬁrst leg of the Triple
Crown that month.
The date change still
must be approved by the
Kentucky Horse Racing
Commission at its meeting Thursday. Still to be
decided are the dates of
the next two legs of horse
racing’s showcase series
— the Preakness and
Belmont.
Carstanjen said the
September date was chosen after talks with NBC
Sports, which televises
the Triple Crown races,
based on the limited number of sports events that
weekend and hotel availability in Louisville.
Churchill Downs
clearly wasn’t interested
in running the 146th

Derby without fans in
the stands, which is what
other tracks have been
doing, including Santa
Anita in California, Oaklawn in Arkansas and the
Fair Grounds in Louisiana.
“We feel conﬁdent
we are going to run the
Kentucky Derby and run
it with a crowd,” Carstanjen said. “It’s a participatory event.”
The race itself lasts
just two minutes, but
the partying and socializing goes on throughout Derby week, with
celebrity-stuffed charity
galas and private house
parties. Last year’s race
drew 150,729 fans.
The tradition of sipping mint juleps, donning
fancy hats and dress
clothes, and the crowd
singalong to “My Old
Kentucky Home” as the
horses step onto the
track has always made

the Derby more than just
a sports event. People
who pay little attention
to horse racing the rest of
the year typically watch
the Derby and wager on
it either formally or in
pools set up at parties.
The Derby was ﬁrst
run in 1875 and has
gone uninterrupted,
even through the Great
Depression and World
Wars I and II.
In 1943, there were
travel restrictions
imposed by World War
II and no out-of-town
tickets were sold. Still,
the Derby went on, with
Count Fleet winning in
front of 65,000. The colt
won the Triple Crown
that year.
The Kentucky Oaks,
the race for ﬁlles held on
Derby eve, is also hugely
popular, especially among
Louisville locals. It ﬁrst
began in 1875. It will be
run Sept. 4.

Horses have been training and racing to earn
points that translate into
berths in the 20-horse
Derby ﬁeld even as the
rest of the sports world
has mostly shut down
because of the virus pandemic. Horses have only
one chance in their lives
to compete in the Derby,
Preakness and Belmont
stakes, which comprise
the Triple Crown for
3-year-olds.
Carstanjen said points
already earned by horses
would be maintained,
while existing races at
tracks across the country
would be added to the
Road to the Kentucky
Derby qualifying process.
“This will be fun and
give fans more time to
learn about this year’s
crop of 3-year-olds,” he
said.
The Derby, the ﬁrst
leg of the Triple Crown,
draws strong TV ratings.

By moving it to Sept. 5,
the race wouldn’t conﬂict with Notre Dame
football, satisfying NBC
Sports, which televises
both. The University of
Louisville has an away
football game that day.
The Preakness is
scheduled for May 16
at Pimlico in Baltimore,
and the Maryland Jockey
Club said no decision
has yet been made on the
second leg of the Triple
Crown.
The Belmont is set
for June 6 in New York.
The New York Racing
Association said “decisions about large-scale
public events must prioritize public health and
safety above all else.”
NYRA added that it will
update the status of the
Belmont “only when that
process has concluded to
the satisfaction of state
and local health departments.”
