OH-70183586 students, especially our seniors, in a manner that doesn’t pose health risks to anyone. Schools should continue to recognize the importance of restrictions on mass gatherings, and events should be aligned with the Ohio Department of Health’s Order. With current orders, a virtual ceremony will be created and released on the original date. An additional date of June 26 has been set as a possible recognition/appreciation day for the class pending Governor and ODH social distancing orders, various limitations, restrictions, and overall safety of a probable event. A virtual ceremony will hopefully assist students required to have diplomas in hand early to join the military, various workforce occupations, or leaving for college. We can make sure these requirements are met for each student and still comply with all current state orders and safety procedures. The virtual option would be as follows. Each Meigs High School graduating senior will walk across the stage and receive a diploma. During the week of May 11-15, each senior and up to four family members will have a scheduled time to report to the High School Gym. Each senior will have a cap and gown picture taken, as well as a short video receiving the diploma. The school district will ensure each student receives a picture and DVD/Flash drive of the full edited production once complete.

(AP) — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice unveiled an aggressive plan Monday to reopen the state’s economy while loosening coronavirus testing benchmarks without explanation. The Republican is moving to lift restrictions if the state’s positive test rate stays below 3% for three days, a reversal of a previous goal to have cases decline over two weeks. “We’ve come up with a methodology that we think will move us forward with science and math behind it and experts behind it and leadership behind it,” Justice said without elaborating. A spokesman for the governor said more details would be released later Monday. Coronavirus czar Clay Marsh, echoing guidelines from the White House, previously said he wanted cases to decline for 14 consecutive days before virus rules are eased. On Monday, he endorsed the governor’s plan, saying it meets the goals set by the president. There have been no signiﬁcant declines in positive cases and 20 people have died in the last 10 days, according to state health data. The ﬁrst week of the governor’s phased plan is already in motion. Hospitals will resume performing elective procedures as soon as this week and widespread testing of daycare workers is underway to allow the childcare facilities to open as soon as possible. The second week would involve the reopening of small businesses, outdoor seating at restaurants as well as barber shops, nail salons and church and funeral services. Then in weeks three to six, ofﬁces, hotels, casinos, restaurants and other remaining businesses could open. Further instructions on social distancing and rules for the businesses will be set in the coming weeks. The strategy could slow or stop if there is an “unexpected increase” in hospitalizations, community outbreaks or if the positive rate rises over 3%, according to the plan. Justice has not set a timeline on allowing nursing home visitations or movie theaters, sporting events or concerts. The Justice administration did not set clear benchmarks on testing capacity, contact tracing and safety equipment availability it wants to meet as part of the reopening strategy. The state health department reports at least roughly 1,000 people have tested positive for the virus after about 43,000 tests. Thirty-six people have died in the state. Justice has ordered that staffers and residents of all nursing homes in the state be tested, which has dramatically boosted the number of people who have been screened for the virus. For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up within weeks. For some, especially older adults and those with existing health problems, it can bring about more severe illness, including pneumonia, and even death. Primary From page 1 past month or so. “I think these numbers are understandable,” Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said of turnout under unusual circumstances and without presidential competition in the primaries. However, the state has some contested congressional primaries as well as races for legislative seats, judges and a range of local candidates and issues, so elections and party ofﬁcials are urging people to not pass up voting. Voters have the option to drop off their ballots at their county board of elections by Tuesday evening or to get them postmarked April 27 for it to be counted. LaRose said he expects to have decisive results to report Tuesday night, although votes will continue to be counted as ballots mailed in the last days continue to arrive. Early voting started Feb. 19, so Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders could possibly pick up delegates despite suspending his campaign in March. Biden, if nominated, will try to win back Ohio from Trump, who carried the state in 2016 by a surprisingly high 8% margin over Hillary Clinton. Biden was on the ticket headed by Barack Obama that twice carried Ohio. Without traditional rallies and door-todoor campaigning because of protective rules during the pandemic, candidates have largely focused on phones and social media to court voters. Kate Schroder, who is seeking the nomination to challenge 12-term Republican Rep. Steve Chabot in Ohio’s 1st Congressional District, in the Cincinnati area, called it an “unexpected challenge” but nothing compared to the need for community safety. Nikki Foster is also vying for that nomination. In another closely watched congressional primary, Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty of Columbus is getting a challenge from the left by Morgan Harper. Ohio Valley Publishing What to watch in primary and special elections COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Democratic presidential contest appears settled now, with former rivals and party luminaries lining up behind former Vice President Joe Biden. Republican President Donald Trump undoubtedly will be Republicans’ nominee. So what’s left to watch as Ohio ﬁnally wraps up its longdelayed primary election and voters in Maryland determine who will ﬁll a U.S. House seat left vacant by a longtime congressman’s death? A look at what’s coming Tuesday: Will delays foil mail-in balloting? The cancellation of Ohio’s in-person March 17 primary due to the coronavirus placed immense pressure on a mail-in absentee voting system already criticized as cumbersome by voting rights groups. The state’s typical protocol includes running at least three pieces of mail — an application, the blank ballot and then the completed version — through the U.S. Postal Service. Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose sounded an alarm last week that mail was moving slower than promised. He predicted that could mean some Ohioans don’t get their ballots on time. In Maryland, voters in the 7th Congressional District are deciding who will serve the rest of the term of the late U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, who died in October. They were mailed ballots weeks ago and ofﬁcials are strongly urging people to vote by mail. Any glitches involving mailed ballots will be closely scrutinized, as governments decide how November’s presidential election will be handled. ry was called off because of the dangers crowds present for spreading the coronavirus, but mail problems could drive Ohioans to polls after all. Ohio law guarantees that any voter who doesn’t receive a ballot they requested by the legal deadline has the right to vote in person, LaRose said last week. That’s not something ofﬁcials had highlighted before. Only voters with disabilities or without permanent mailing addresses were originally expected to vote in perHow many will vote in person? son in Ohio’s extended Ohio’s in-person prima- primary.

Brenda Kocak, who owns a men’s hair salon in suburban Columbus, was hoping to hear that she could reopen soon after spending weeks watching safety seminars and buying face masks, capes and surface cleaners. “It just makes no sense,” she said. “How can it be more safe to go into a dentist’s ofﬁce and get your mouth cleaned than it is to go to a salon and get a haircut?” Kocak, who has owned Modern Male Spas in Dublin, said she can’t afford to stay closed much longer. The Ohio Restaurant Association also pushed back, urging the governor to allow restau- rants to begin offering socially distanced dine-in service by May 15. Half of the state’s residents want to see Ohio’s economy get a jump-start this week, but their support waned when asked about opening speciﬁc businesses and churches, a new poll found. Only about one-third of the Ohioans surveyed were ready for salons, churches and restaurants to open. And even less thought playgrounds and day cares should open this week, according to the poll conducted last week by Baldwin Wallace University.

It’s way too early to know if it was successful. It already seems smart. The NFL’s youngest GM stuck to his plan and addressed Cleveland’s most pressing needs in this stay-athome draft, which gave everyone a peek at Commissioner Roger Goodell’s basement and provided sports fans a much-needed respite from weeks of being quarantined because of the COVID-19 outbreak. This was Berry’s ﬁrst draft with ﬁnal authority over which players would be picked. He had previously been a part of draft rooms in Cleveland and Philadelphia, but this time it was all in Berry’s hands and Browns rookie coach Kevin Stefanski was impressed with how his boss handled things. “I was very impressed with how he operated,” Stefanski said. “He knew when to have everybody be very quiet and he knew when to take input. He looked like a seasoned vet to me.” Berry suppressed the urge to make a major move in the ﬁrst round and landed Alabama tackle Jedrick Wills with the No. 10 overall pick. There were other options, but Berry stayed true to his board — he claimed the Browns had Williams ranked atop a talented class of tackles — and now has a protector for quarterback Baker Mayﬁeld’s blind side. Wills’ selection underscores a strong connection between Berry and Stefanski, who share Ivy League backgrounds and vision for how the Browns should be built. It hasn’t always been that way in Cleveland, where power struggles have been the norm. Maybe those days are ﬁnally over. “We have a ways to go,” Stefanski said. “We are deﬁnitely not where we want to be, but I am appreciative of the group we have been able to put together to this point.” Berry said his working relationship with Stefanski bodes well for the Browns. “I love working with Kevin,” he said. ”His insight, his calmness, his intelligence, it really does not matter the situation that we are dealing with, and certainly his presence is more than appreciated over the course of the last few days, going through the draft. I really could not ask for a better partner, really in any situation and I am really pleased with how our ﬁrst drafts has gone as a group.” Quality control If there was a thread connecting Berry’s picks it was pedigree. He added Wills, from one of the best programs in the country, along with a pair of LSU standouts — safety Grant Delpit and linebacker Jacob Phillips, who helped the Tigers win a national championship last season. Florida Atlantic tight end Harrison Bryant was voted the nation’s best at that position, Washington center Nick Harris was voted his team’s most inspirational player and Michigan wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones has been on the radar of NFL scouts since high school. Conference call The Browns showed some southern bias. Cleveland’s ﬁrst four selections all came from the SEC, college football’s best conference. After Wills, the Browns selected LSU safety Grant Delpit, Missouri defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips. And while Berry and Stefanski insisted the run of SEC players was more coincidence than planned, the coach acknowledged it’s a bonus to get players accustomed to the big stage.

NFL Draft calls on Herd twice By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com One local product started the whole thing, but former Athens High School standout Joe Burrow wasn’t the only player within an hour’s radius of the Ohio Valley Publishing area enjoying the National Football League Draft process this past weekend. Marshall University ended a 5-year selection drought as the Thundering Herd had a pair of players chosen Saturday during Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft, which was held virtually instead of in Las Vegas due to the COVID-19 shutdown. The Herd hadn’t received a single selection in the NFL Draft since defensive back Darryl Roberts was chosen by the New England Patriots in the seventh round in 2015. Marshall, however, had its fortunes change in Round 5 as, once again, New England used the 14th pick (159 overall) on kicker Justin Rohrwasser. Defensive back Chris Jackson heard his name called two rounds later as the 4-year starting corner went with the 29th pick in the seventh round (243 overall) to the Tennessee Titans. Rohrwasser and Jackson, collectively, become the seventh pair of MU players chosen in the same draft in school history. The 2003 trio of Byron Leftwich, Chris Crocker and Steve Sciullo last accomplished the feat. The Green and White also had multiple draft picks in the 1939, 1958, 1989, 1998 and 2000 classes. Rohrwasser was named the 2019 Conference USA Marshall defensive back Chris Jackson (3) finishes a touchdown run on a fumble recovery during the second half of an Oct. 14, 2017, Conference USA football game against Old Dominion at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington, W.Va. Special Teams Player of the Year after connecting on 18-of-21 ﬁeld goal tries and 35-of-36 extra-point kicks. Rohrwasser also booted 33 touchbacks on 62 kickoff attempts last fall. Rohrwasser successfully booted three straight 53-yard ﬁeld goal tries in the last seconds of a 26-23 Homecoming victory over Western Kentucky on Oct. 26 after WKU used a pair of pre-snap timeouts on the ﬁrst two attempts. It was also Rohrwasser’s career long. Rohrwasser also went 15-of-21 in ﬁeld goal attempts and 44-of-46 in extra-point tries in 2018 after transferring in from Rhode Island. Thirty of Rohrwasser’s 71 kickoffs that season ended up result- ing in touchbacks. Jackson was a 4-time allleague recipient, including an All-Freshman selection in 2016. The Tallahassee (FL) native had 189 tackles and seven interceptions, including a 72-yard INT return for a score in the season opener against Miami (OH) back in 2017. New England is responsible for four of Marshall’s last six NFL Draft selections. Jackson is the ﬁrst MU player to ever be selected by the Tennessee Titans, including that franchise’s previous time as the Houston Oilers. Marshall joined Conference USA mates Charlotte, Florida International and Louisiana Tech in churning out two selections apiece. Florida Atlantic and Southern Mississippi also produced a single pick, bringing the CUSA total to 10 for the weekend. The SEC led all football conferences with 63 of the 255 total selections in the 2020 NFL Draft, including a modern draft record 14 picks from Louisiana State. Both Michigan and Ohio State followed the National Champions with 10 picks apiece. The Big Ten (48), Pac 12 (32), ACC (27) and Big 12 (21) rounded out the top ﬁve spots, with the AAC (17) also ﬁnishing ahead of Conference USA in total selections. CUSA was also joined by the Mountain West with 10 total choices. The Mid-American Conference had two total selections, one apiece from both Ball State and Miami of Ohio. Ohio University did not have a player chosen for the second consecutive year, with linebacker Quentin Poling (Round 7, 227 overall) serving as the last Bobcat chosen back in 2018. Marshall’s two selections matched the total produced by programs such as Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, N.C. State, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Southern California and even West Virginia. The Herd also doubled the number of draft picks from other programs such as Boston College, Cincinnati, Florida State, Louisville, Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Two-win Bengals break with past, seek fresh start in draft CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals promoted Zac Taylor’s hiring as a “New Dey” in franchise history, but his ﬁrst season was as bad as it’s been — a 2-14 record and team-record 11 straight losses. Year Two will bring something new. New quarterback. New receiver. New generation of Bengals getting a chance to break free of futility. During the three days of the NFL draft, Cincinnati loaded up on players who can replace aging stars in the next couple of years and take the franchise in a different direction. “I feel like we’re starting something new,” said offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji, taken in the sixth round. “I think in a few years here you’re going to see the tide’s turned. I think we’re going to be a team that shocks somebody.” For now, they’ll be a team that’s at least interesting. The previous time the Bengals had such a notable draft overhaul was 2011, when they brought in Andy Dalton to replace Carson Palmer and added receiver A.J. Green. The Andy-to-A.J. combo led Cincin- nati to ﬁve straight playoff appearances, all of them ending in ﬁrst-round losses. Picking at the start of each round this weekend, the Bengals zeroed in on players who were leaders on top college teams. “You’re not just trying to win games, you’re trying to win championships,” Taylor said. “So ultimately you’ve got to be thinking long term with the people you have to have that championship mindset and are willing to work harder than any other team in the league. We just feel we’ve added the right people.” �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing BLONDIE Tuesday, April 28, 2020 7 By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � By Bil and Jeff Keane �� &RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � DENNIS THE MENACE THE LOCKHORNS �� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO Hank Ketcham’s � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO ��&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � see what’s brewing on the job market.
