The delivery included a variety of pantry staples such as soup, pasta and peanut butter, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. Loaves & Fishes, which serves about 300 households per month, is “still open as always.” Warner explained they have developed a system to maintain the recommended six feet of “social distancing” between clients.

Area students will be “home schooled” a while longer. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday, March 30, the state has extended the school closings through May. “There is the real possibility that our schools could stay closed longer than this, but we want to give parents and teachers as much notice and flexibility as we can,” said DeWine. “Schools should continue to do what they’re doing now -- providing the best remote learning that they can, serving meals to students in new ways, and planning for what the rest of the year may look like.” As a result of the state ordere, The Free Press Standard contacted school superintendent’s within The FPS circulation area and asked them the following questions: Do you have any new plans and/or information for students and/or parents? What about the availability of school work assignments? If you have a current meals program, will it continue? Following are the responses by the respective school superintendents. Carrollton Exempted Village School District Carrollton Schools Supt. Dr. David Quattrochi said, “it is our intent to ensure all students are getting breakfast and lunch seven days a week.”
“I am proud of our teachers who are doing a great job of reaching out to students and making sure their work is being completed.” “I want to especially thank Barb Burns and the cafeteria staff for all of their hard work. They are amazing. We will continue to work through challenges this unfortunate virus is causing our country,” Quattrochi added. Brown Local School District Brown Local Schools new Superintendent Mark Scott said Brown Local Schools students started remote learning Monday, March 30. Students had at least two weeks of educational resources sent home from their teachers on the last days of school and will continue to be supported through those resources and various online platforms, including Google Classroom through May 1.

Commissioners are livestreaming meetings By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
At the March 26 Carroll County Commissioners meeting, Commissioner Bob Wirkner brought up responses from the public regarding the livestreaming of commissioners online and the change in courthouse hours. Wirkner said that many people are appreciative of having the commissioners’ board meetings available online but several had said they cannot always hear clearly what is being said. A new microphone was installed and in use at the March 30 meeting. Residents have also said that viewing the meeting while commissioner’s sign contracts and documents is “rather tedious”. Wirkner said those items on the agenda could be moved to the end of the meeting if it would help the meeting move along. Wirkner reported that there has been some confusion regarding the new

courthouse hours. The courthouse is open to the public on Monday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Although employees will still be working, the courthouse is closed to the public on Tuesday. The hours of 8-9 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday have been set aside for those people who are in the high risk category for the coronavirus. These individuals may come to the courthouse during other hours as well and are not restricted only to 8-9 a.m., according to Wirkner. On Thursday, commissioners considered the option of increasing the county’s current liability insurance limit of $6 million. After further discussion, Commissioner Jeff Ohler explained that he felt they were fine with the coverage at $6 million. He also felt that due to the public restrictions because of COVID-19, the sales tax income will be down. The board agreed to keep coverage at $6 million.

Regarding the coronavirus outbreak, Wirkner said that there is constant cleaning and disinfecting of the courthouse and all offices are being very careful with space limitations. As a way to protect the public and the county employees, residents are advised that they may call or email any government office for information or answers to questions. A public hearing for the purpose of opening bids for the county resurfacing project was postponed until Monday, April 6. Carroll County Engineer Brian Wise reported that there was an error on the spec form providing the feet and yards of materials that would be needed. Wise said he will check with the prosecutor’s office and if approved, he will send the changes to those who submitted bids and the company may or may not choose to change their bid before next Monday.

Residents warned scammers are using COVID-19 fear for profit The Ohio Emergency Management Agency is receiving reports of spam calls to Ohioans from individuals claiming to be from the Ohio EMA and requesting personal protected information, such as a Social Security number. “The Ohio Emergency Management Agency is not calling Ohioans and asking for their protected personal information,” said Executive Director Sima Merick. “If you receive such a call, it is a scam. Please hang up the phone.” Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Ohio Department of Commerce Director Sherry Maxfield offer these tips to protect yourself from other scams: · Watch out for emails claiming to be from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or other expert sources offering special advice or information about coronavirus disease 2019. Legitimate information is available for free from the CDC coronavirus.gov or from the Ohio Department of Health at coronavirus.ohio.gov. · Ignore advertisements promoting cures for COVID-19. There currently are no vaccines, prescription medications, or over-thecounter products available to prevent, treat, or cure COVID-19. · Refrain from investing in businesses touting products, services or cures for COVID-19. Scam artists try to use the market downturn and the pandemic to scare investors into so-called “safer, guaranteed investments.” · Research nonprofit organizations and crowdfunding campaigns before donating. A database of registered charities is available on the Ohio Attorney General’s website. Avoid groups that pressure you into donating and never donate via cash, gift cards, wire transfer, or prepaid money card. These are the preferred payment methods of scammers. · Be watchful of anyone going door to door offering coronavirus testing or temperature readings and/or requesting personal information. Call law enforcement immediately if you see a suspicious person. Never let strangers into your home. · Beware of emails and other attempts to “phish” for your personal, financial, and/or medical information. When in doubt, do not share. If the source claims to be your bank or a government agency, confirm they are legitimate by calling the organization at a phone number you have verified. For information on government stimulus checks, visit the Federal Trade Commission website
and stay tuned for updates from reliable news sources. The government will not ask you to pay anything to receive this money and will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account number, or credit card number. Never give this information out. · When online, avoid clicking on unknown links or pop-ups and never download any suspicious email attachment. Doing so could infect your devices with malicious software designed to steal your personal information or lock your computer until you pay a ransom. The Department of Commerce asks consumers to ask yourself these questions to help spot red flags: · Has someone contacted you unexpectedly about an investment opportunity or asked for payment on an unfamiliar account? If you weren’t expecting a phone call or didn’t initiate the contact, hang up. If you can put a block on the incoming phone number, do so to avoid additional calls. · Has someone promised you something? If you are offered something that seems too good to be true, it probably is. · Has someone asked you to do something? Were you asked for banking, credit card, or other financial account information? If you didn’t initiate the conversation, don’t provide it.
· Is an investment being offered with a guaranteed high return with little or no risk? All investments carry risk. No one can guarantee an investment return. · Is there a sense of urgency or limited availability surrounding an investment? If the offer is legitimate, it will be there later. If someone offers you a “can’t miss” investment opportunity and puts you on the spot, don’t be afraid to walk away. · Is the person offering the investment, and the investment itself, properly licensed or registered? For the same reasons you wouldn’t go to an unlicensed doctor or dentist, you should avoid unregistered investment salespeople and their products. · Consumers who suspect an unfair or deceptive sales practice should contact the office of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost at www.OhioProtects.org or 1-800282-0515. Attorney General Yost’s Consumer Protection Section is receiving complaints of price gouging for items such as surgical masks and toilet paper. State law bans unconscionable sales practices, which could include dramatically increasing the price products solely in response to current events.

Thomas was born May 3, 1943 to Thomas G. and Clara Day Scott in Leesville, Ohio. Growing up in a family with six siblings working on a farm, Thomas was drawn to running farm equipment and a love of cars, particularly an interest in mechanics.

He also, at 45 years old, would complete his GED for his high school diploma. Thomas was married for 52 years to Laura May (Titley) Scott.

Family meant so much to Thomas and shaped his everyday life.

He was also involved in Midvale Karting Series, helping his son, Jim, and grandson, Braedon, on their go-kart and helping the club any way possible. He attended so many events for all his children and grandchildren, always eager to see them grow and excel. He is also survived by his loving siblings, Ruth (Gene) Moyer, Richard “Butch” (Betty) Scott and Lona (Bob) Keith and by many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews. Thomas is preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Luther “Bud” Scott; sisters, Elaine Gintz, Doris “Babe” Harkless; and his beloved dog, Skippy.

Sherry’s Book Corner
Hello everyone! We sure have another busy month ahead of us! We have Palm Sunday, Passover, Good Friday, Easter and Earth Day! But, with the Coronavirus looming over us, we will be celebrating these events at home. I just received a postcard in the mail from President Trump. One of the statements on the front said, “Slow The Spread.” As I see it, to make that happen we all need to do our part and just stay home! Our country has never been affected by something such as this, but I feel we will prevail. We need to hold each other close in prayer and do what we can to keep each other safe. If you received one of these postcards at your home, please read it carefully like I did. I think with these guidelines it may keep us a little safer. When we experienced Sept. 11, I reviewed the Holy Bible for one of my adult columns. I am going to share it with you again today. This book

is my resource for my every day living. Without it, I would be lost. As we draw closer to Easter, may we be reminded of His love for each one of us. He died on a cross to pay for our sins, and shed His blood with ever so much love. He is alive today and He sees all things. He is here in the midst of all this, and we just need to learn to trust Him. I would like to close with one of my favorite scriptures, “Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.” Psalms 73:25 Until next time, be safe and clean!

Publisher: Oxford University Press/New York Price: Ranges Available at the Carroll County District Library A book to turn to for all things. The teachings we read have stood the test of time. When we need hope, it is in there. When we need peace, it is in there. When we need direction for life, it is in there. And when we need to feel loved, it too, is in there. The gospel is good news and we are asked to spread it.

Southern students asked to make cards for nursing home residents Students at Southern Local elementary school are bringing smiles to others in the midst of the current quarantine from the COVID-19 virus. Kids are being asked to create homemade greeting cards to brighten the spirits of patients residing in nursing homes who have limited contact with the outside world during this chaotic time. SLES Assistant Principal Emily Brinker suggested

Both libraries closed to public around March 16 in response to the COVID-19 pademic. Minerva Executive Director Tom Dillie said, “Minerva will not re-open to the public on April 6. I’m waiting to update the website to see if the stayat-home order is extended past April 6.” “Once that order is lifted, Minerva will open for drive-up window services only. I don’t
know when I’ll open the building back up to the public,” he acknowledged. Finnicum noted President Donald Trump has extended an order for social distancing and limiting of gatherings until April 30.

nursing homes cannot have visitors, so what better way than to brighten up their day with a letter or card from our elementary students?” Brinker said. Supt. Tom Cunningham added that children may draw pictures and share messages to bring a little joy to the patients’ lives. “We want to give some cheer to people who can’t get visitors,” Cunningham said. “We hope to start getting [cards] in.

OHSAA officially cancels wrestling, basketball, hockey tournaments COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio High School Athletic Association announced Thursday that the winter sports tournaments of wrestling, basketball and ice hockey, which were postponed indefinitely on March 12, are now cancelled due to the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. It is anticipated that schools will not be able to reopen for many weeks, which prevents interscholastic athletics from taking place. The start of the OHSAA’s spring sports of softball, lacrosse, baseball, track and field and boys tennis is still
postponed, which coincides with schools not being open. Earlier Thursday, OHSAA Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass and his staff communicated with the schools that were still competing in those winter tournaments to announce the decision. “We are just devastated that the tournaments cannot be completed,” said Snodgrass. “But our priority is the safety of our student-athletes, coaches, communities and officials. Governor Mike DeWine is asking all Ohioans to do everything they can to stop the
spread of this virus. That request, along with our schools not being able to reopen for weeks, means that school sports cannot happen at this time. Even if our schools reopen this spring, it will be difficult to find facilities willing to host the tournaments. Most campuses are shut down until mid to late summer. “We are already planning for ways that these student-athletes will be honored at next year’s state tournament,” said Snodgrass. The 16 schools that qualified for the girls basketball state tournament and
the four teams that qualified for the ice hockey state tournament will all receive state tournament programs. The 672 student-athletes who qualified for the wrestling state tournament will all receive a program, certificate and their weigh-in card. These four winter state tournaments and a few events during World War 2 (1941-45) are the only sports cancellations in the history of the OHSAA, which was founded in 1907. No state champions will be listed for these four sports in 2020. The OHSAA does not use state polls from
the media or coaches associations to determine state champions. A reminder that OHSAA coaches can communicate electronically with their student-athletes, but no practices, scrimmages or contests of any kind are permitted until further notice. On March 13, Snodgrass sent this memo to member schools: https://www.ohsaa.org/newsmedia/articles/ohsaa-winter-and-sprin g-sports-update More information regarding spring sports will be provided when available.
Doctor explains how to fish safely during COVID-19 pandemic The rapid spread of the coronavirus has forced the closure of schools, businesses, events and any other nonessential gatherings of people in our country and across the world. For many of us, being off work or out of school means an opportunity to go bass fishing. But should we? An avid bass angler, as well as a medical professional involved in the battle against coronavirus, Dr. Neil Schaffner sat down with Bassmaster.com to explain how to apply social distancing practices while fishing in those areas where being out on the local fishery is still possible. “Probably the safest place to be is on the lake right now,” said Dr. Neil Schaffner of Opelika, AL, a 40-year veteran of the medical profession with a background in critical care and currently, an endocrinologist on staff at East Alabama Medical Center.
“Everybody knows you’re supposed to practice ‘social distancing’ by staying at least six feet away from other people. You can do that when you’re out in the middle of nowhere, in open spaces and open air." That doesn’t mean anglers should be oblivious to the dangers of contracting what, for some, can be a deadly virus. “Your biggest risk is at the gas pump,” Schaffner said. “Perhaps 500 people have touched the handle before you picked it up. The second greatest risk might be pulling through a drivethrough to get a biscuit on the way to the lake.” While many boat ramp facilities remain open, this is not true across every state. Schaffner believes officials close some recreational facilities to protect personnel from exposure, while others are closed because restrooms and other facilities can be conduits to
spreading the coronavirus. Schaffner says to avoid touching any hard surface without protection. Wear gloves if you can. If you do not have surgical gloves, work gloves are better than nothing. Anything that provides a barrier between your skin and a contaminated surface can help. Using a paper towel to hold the gas pump handle might save someone from getting the disease, he suggests. Unwrap that biscuit with a napkin and avoid touching any of the packaging. If you visit a fast food restaurant, make sure employees are wearing gloves. Schaffner knows that sharing the experience with a buddy makes fishing so much more enjoyable, but in these times, two might be a crowd. If you’d rather not fish alone, he lists several ways to minimize the danger of catching coronavirus from a fishing buddy.
“The good thing is that there’s at least six feet between the front pedestal and the back pedestal in a bass boat,” he said. Still, it’s important to observe extreme caution when considering fishing with another person. “If your buddy just got off a cruise ship three days ago, I wouldn’t go fishing with him,” Schaffner said. “If your fishing partner is coughing or has any other of the symptoms — fever, aches, sore throat — or has been exposed to someone with coronavirus, don’t go.” Should you still decide to fish with someone else, do all you can to avoid touching a surface your friend has touched. Agree that the two of you will stay on opposite ends of the boat and not touch anything the other has touched. If you hook a big bass and he nets the fish for you, sanitize the net
handle. Sharing the cab of a pickup brings the two of you into closer proximity, but Schaffner believes normal, steady breathing and conversation should not be much of a risk. It would not be a bad idea for both of you to wear masks and to drive with the windows down, he adds. In these extreme times, what used to be done out of an abundance of caution has now become common sense. Schaffner, who cohosts a local television program in Montgomery, AL, The Fishin’ Mission, is preparing to go fishing this week — alone. “I would be a risk to my fishing partner because of my constant exposure (from) treating patients all day long,” he said. “Right now, I’m living alone, in my basement, apart from my wife and daughter. Their risk of getting the virus is me.”
ODNR Division of Forestry closing additional facilities across Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio – In response to the developing public health situation with COVID-19 and the Ohio Department of Health’s (ODH) Stay at Home Order, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry will be closing All Purpose Vehicle (APV) areas and all campgrounds including group camps, horse camps, and family camps. All public restrooms will also be closed. “These are difficult decisions to make, and we appreciate the patience and understanding of our outdoor enthusiasts,” said Dan Balser, chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry. “Visitors can still enjoy the state forests and for the safety of those visitors, it is our intent that these closures will prevent the gathering of large groups.” The Maumee State Forest APV Area is
now closed, and the opening of the Pike, Perry, and Richland Furnace state forest APV Areas, scheduled to open on April 1, will be delayed until the Stay at Home Order is lifted. “Opening weekend and current use at the Maumee APV Area simply create too much congestion and congregation in the APV parking areas to safely open them,” Balser said. Due to the Stay at Home Order, division staff are also not able to safely inspect the trails, remove downed trees, properly maintain facilities, and perform other work necessary to keep areas open and safe. Bridle trails and mountain bike trails remain open for their designated uses, but visitors should follow social distancing guidelines. Hiking is still permitted on all state forest trails,
including APV trails, using recommended social distancing behavior. Closure on these ODNR properties is effective March 24, 2020, to protect the health of both visitors and staff. Closures are expected to be temporary until COVID-19 guidelines change or are lifted. Public outdoor spaces and all other trail systems, including our small remote backpack camps will remain open. The Division of Forestry gun ranges will also remain open. Visitors should use common sense and follow this guidance from the National Recreation and Park Association for staying safe while they are out: Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to heading to trails —

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. The liberation of Italy, Greece, Crete and islands of the Aegean began Sept. 24, 1944, by Allied forces comprised of British and American troops. The Germans used Greece for a delaying action. The terrain was more difficult than that of Italy and it took the British two weeks to cover the few miles to Corinth. When they reached Corinth, they found the Germans had evacuated before their arrival. The British quickly moved on to capture Athens (the capital) on Oct. 14 after some skirmishing. In Italy, the Germans were solidly dug in behind the Gothic line and they were not going to give any ground. The Allies put all their strength into the German line and late in September the line began to crumble, all except Futa Pass. Futa Pass proved to be a grim and costly battle. During the winter months, the fighting slowed down with the line surging back and forth. The new year (1945) opened with a fresh blow by the U. S. Fifth Army on the extreme left or western front, taking port of Massa. The fighting in the central sector below Bologna continued to surge back and forth. On April 16, 1945, the Allies, on a 50-mile front, began to surge forward. Their path was prepared by two days of intense aerial bombardment, which left the Germans dazed and gasp-
ing, but sill unwilling to yield. Along every foot of the front, the enemy’s resistance was ferocious. Much of the fighting in the wooded hills was hand-tohand, rifle butt and bayonet, knife and fist, were frequently used as bullets. Yet, however, hard as the Germans fought, they could not stop the surge and the Allies closed their pincers on Bologna. The Germans, having lost Bologna, broke into a general retreat. The roads became closed with confusion. Allied planes strafed and bombed them relentlessly and without mercy. We now controlled Northern Italy. On April 27, 1945, the historic cities of Verona and Genoa were taken. On April 30, 1945, General Clark announced, “The German Army no longer exists in Italy as a military force.” This ended the 20-month battle of Italy. The Germans surrendered 1,000,000 men to the Allies. Thousands more had been killed, wounded and captured during the fighting. The Allies had paid a big price also. The Americans share of this cost was 21, 557 killed; 74,248 wounded and 10,338 missing. Thousands of American families lost loved ones in the battle for Italy. We should never forget the terrible cost of our freedom, nor should we forget those who fought for it. God bless them and their families. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

THE ALTAR Philippians 4:6 - Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. We are living in strange times. We are so accustomed to coming to church and praying together for victory. Right now, gathering together under one roof is not possible. I Corinthians 3:9 - For we are laborers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. I encourage you to keep praying, even in your homes. We are the building today. We are encouraged to pray with thanksgiving. Tell Jesus your requests! Matthew 6: 25-34 - Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast unto the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Jesus said take no thought for your life. In other words, don’t worry about how your needs will be met. The Lord takes care of the fowl of the air: you cannot add time to your life through worry. The Lord clothes the fields, feeds the fowl, will He not take greater care of his children? So stop worrying about what will happen. Seek ye first God’s Kingdom and the Lord will meet all your needs. Create an altar in your home, a place where you can be away from the television and the internet. Stop filling your life with fear. Seek Jesus! Worry will not change anything, but prayer will change everything. There’s an old song that says, “Troubles don’t come to stay, they’ll soon pass away. With the help of God, we’re on our way!” I encourage you to get in your altar, and change the world. Pastor Bill Grimes Heaven’s Edge Apostolic Church

Katie Totherow
4-7-1928 ˜ 12-19-2016 Happy Birthday Mom Kimberly �Noble� LeMay
There�s nothing like a Mother�s love, and your love was so special to each one of us. We love you and miss you so very much. All our love to you sweet, precious mother. Sadly missed by your family
Time slips by and life goes on, but from our hearts you�re never gone. We think about you always, we talk about you too. We have so many memories, but we wish we still had you. Wishing you were here today for even, just a while. So we could say happy birthday, and see your loving smile. The only gifts on your birthday will be, your sweet memories left behind. Of laughter, joy, and happiness that echo on, in our mind. We�ll gaze upon pictures, we�ll think of you with love. And hope you�re doing fine, in Heaven up above May angels hold you closely and sing you a happy song. And we�ll be sending wishes on your birthday, and all year long. Missing you so much. Happy 60th Birthday. Love, Jim, Jamie, and Jenna

Ohio Farm Bureau County Presidents’ Trip
Day Three: ‘In the Blink of an Eye’ By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor 5:30 a.m. Any other day I might have given thought to hitting the snooze button. Not this morning. This is not the morning to dawdle. This morning I’m up and heading for the shower before I’m even fully awake. This is the last morning of my trip to Washington, D.C. for the Farm Bureau’s annual presidents’ trip, the morning we are to board the buses by 7 a.m. for the drive to the Capitol Hill Club for breakfast with Sen. Rob Portman. I’ve showered and dressed, and have begun packing before it occurs to me to check my phone. And there it is, the message from Ty Higgins that changes everything. Ty works in the Farm Bureau’s D.C. office. I don’t remember his official title, but as a former event planner, albeit on a much smaller scale, many years ago, at Atwood Lake Lodge, I
had immediately appreciated his skill and finesse in organizing all the moving pieces and parts that it takes to get roughly eight dozen people to where they needed to be, when they needed to be there. On the previous day, that had included a stop at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House grounds, for briefings by Trump Administration officials, then an afternoon of lightning-round briefings by members of Congress in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill, followed by a meet-and-greet reception with two other state delegations of Farm Bureau members in the visitors center in the U.S. Capitol. Afterwards, the handful of reporters in the group went to the National Press Club for a lovely, lively media-only dinner. (I know…it was tough, but somebody had to do it…) And now it was morning, and I was reading and then re-reading a text from Ty, saying that, overnight, a Senate staffer had tested positive for the coronavi-
rus and all of that morning’s activities, the breakfast with Sen. Portman and for some of our group, a tour of the Canadian Embassy, were canceled. After a brief moment of not exactly panic, I took a breath: It was likely the staffers we’d seen the previous day, in the House office building, worked for the representatives who spoke, not for a senator. The only senate staffers we’d had any contact with were the trio that had accompanied Sen. Sherrod Brown when he spoke at our hotel on Wednesday morning, and even then it was in passing, with not even the elbow bump the senator had substituted for a handshake. Then I thought back to the previous evening, when after dinner, five of us had decided to walk back to our hotel. Amid two full 12-plus-hour days, there hadn’t been time to actually observe the ebb and flow of traffic in the streets or people on the sidewalks, and how startling it was that there was so little of either. We had been in front of the Trump International Hotel
in the Old Post Office, when one of the reporters looked at her watch and realized she was 45-minutes from deadline and still had to write her story. We hailed a cab, quizzing the driver on the ride. What was going on? Nobody on the streets - we’d seen perhaps a half-dozen other pedestrians – and a large percentage of the traffic was taxis. “The virus … “ He said his
income had been cut by more than half in a matter of a few weeks. When I went down to the lobby that last morning, more than half of our group were there. Some were dazed, some were belligerent in their belief that it was “being blown out of proportion,” others had worry etched on their faces. Then Danielle Burch spoke. Danielle, who teaches govern-
ment at United Local Schools, takes 3 days of unpaid leave each year to go on the Presidents’ Trip because it’s one way she can bring “hands-on, first person information on the way government works” back to her students. Danielle listened for a bit and then said what was probably already lurking in the back of all of our minds, “In the blink of an eye, our lives have changed.”
Corps of Engineers explains steps to obtain contract work HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - In an effort to combat COVID-19, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District, wants to make sure that businesses of all sizes better understand how to gain a contract with the Corps of Engineers. The first step in doing business with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Government, is for a company to register with SAM.gov (https:// sam.gov/SAM/pages/public/index.jsf). Within SAM.gov is the Disaster Response Registry, where a
business owner can register his or her company’s unique capabilities (https://sam.gov/SAM/pages/ public/searchRecords/advancedDRSearch.jsf). If business owners are interested in doing business with USACE, go to the Corps of Engineer’s website where they can find more about contracting with USACE and the U.S. Government (https://www.usace.army.mil/ Business-With-Us/Contracting/). If a business is registered as a small business, owners are encouraged to work with the Corps’ Small Business Program profes-
sionals (https://www.usace.army. mil/Business-With-Us/Small Business/). They can also work with the Small Business Association (SBA) (https://www.sba. gov/). There are also many subcontracting opportunities for a company, working as a part of the whole to accomplish the mission. This is usually done in partnership with larger companies. The Corps of Engineers thanks companies for their willingness to help the country in its efforts to combat and recover from COVID-19.
