BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER Vol. 129 Friday, July 3, 2020 No. 168 AVAILABLE DAILY ONLINE @ examiner.org BY MANDY LOEHR EXAMINER STAFF WRITER [email protected] M ore than 9,000 pairs of donated eyeglasses, sorted and labeled inside 50 boxes, were loaded Thursday morning from a Bellefontaine residence, bound for a mission to help individuals in developing nations to receive the gift of sight and in turn a major improvement in their life circumstances. The eyeglasses were collected through efforts by a number of Lions Clubs, both locally in Logan County and throughout the region, for donation to the Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity organization, which travels overseas and in the U.S. to provide quality free vision care services to those in need through short-term clin- ics. Representatives from the Bluffton Lions Club, Barbara Plaugher and Ed Yeager, traveled to city resident Darlene Roll’s home to pick up the boxes of eyeglasses that were neatly stacked and pre- pared in her garage through the help of volun- teers, including by Bellefontaine Lions Club member Marilyn Molton, who was on site as well. The donations that had been collected since November from generous area residents were en route to the VOSH recy- cling site at the Pandora First United Methodist Church. There, the eye- glasses will be processed, cleaned, inspected by a lensometer to determine their prescription, and will be further sorted and boxed according to pre- scription for future VOSH trips, some of which have included to the nations of Romania, Mexico, Honduras and Haiti. Roll, a Waynesfield Lions Club member and Bellefontaine Lions Club associate member, said the mission and volunteer effort is a labor of love for her family, along with fel- low Lions Club members. Years ago, her late hus- band, Barney, created approximately 300 wood- en Lions Club eyeglasses donation boxes that can still be found at donation sites around the commu- nity, including at area businesses, churches, libraries, schools, banks, restaurants and etc. Individuals are encour- aged to donate their used regular eyeglasses, bi- focals and tri-focals, with cases if they are available, or without cases. “My husband was a big proponent of the local eyeglasses drive, and we want to see it continue,” Roll said before heading to Pandora herself, after the multitude of boxes could- n’t all fit in the Bluffton representative’s extended cab pickup. “It can be such a life-changing gift to people in other countries, and it’s a simple gesture that we can do to help out. “Helen Keller in 1925 urged the Lions Clubs to be the ‘knights of the blind in the crusade,’ so we take that mission very seriously, now almost a 100 years later.” VOSH International reports that more than 2.5 billion people in the world need glasses due to a refractive error. Of those with clinical need, 1.1 bil- lion, or one in seven peo- ple, lack access to glasses. “The lack of vision translates to failing at school, jobs, health and personal lives. Those who cannot see are too often mired in poverty,” accord- ing to www.vosh.org. “Our goal is to eradi- cate untreated refractive error, that is, to help peo- ple see again by correcting their vision with glasses. And once they can see, they can improve the quality of their lives and their own vision for a future for generations to come.” Of the 9,010 eyeglasses in this local shipment, the donations came from Logan, Auglaize, Mercer, Union, Champaign and Clark counties, including from the following Lions Clubs: Waynesfield, Bellefontaine, Huntsville- Indian Lake, West Liberty, Cridersville, St. Marys, Celina, Coldwater, Mendon, Rockford, Marysville, Urbana, Springfield National Trail and North Hampton, along with the Maria Stein American Legion Auxiliary, and Roll’s friends in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

More than 9,000 pairs of

donated eyeglasses, sorted and labeled inside 50 boxes, were loaded Thursday morning from a Bellefontaine residence, bound for a mission to help individuals in developing nations to receive the gift of sight and in turn a major improvement in their life circumstances.

The eyeglasses were collected through efforts by a number of Lions Clubs, both locally in Logan County and throughout the region, for donation to the Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity organization, which travels overseas and in the U.S. to provide quality free vision care services to those in need through short-term clin-ics.

Mary Rutan Hospital this week released details regarding the Mary Rutan Foundation’s 2019 Community Report, relating an investment and com-mitment to the com-munity that totaled more than $15 million last year.

Representatives said in the ever-changing world of health care, the orga-nization’s purpose remains the same — to provide quality health care services to improve the health and well-being of the

community, for indi-viduals as well as larg-er groups.

This purposeful work can be traced over the 100 year his-tory of the hospital’s existence and com-mitment to Logan County, said President and CEO Mandy Goble.

“As a not-for-profit organization, it is our responsibility to pro-vide programs and services that increase access to needed care for those who live here,” she said. “We define these as com-munity benefits. We take this responsibili-ty very seriously and

consider the needs of the community in the strategic planning and allocation of funds for Mary Rutan Hospital and Mary Rutan Foundation.”

The numbers below provide a glimpse of how Mary Rutan Hospital and Mary Rutan Foundation touched and improved the health and lives of people throughout the community in 2019:

• Community Health Improvement Services — $ 567,439.

• Health Professional Education — $ 99,473.

• Community Building Activities and Support — $ 121,187.

• Subsidized Health Services and

Research — $ 76,627. • Financial and In-

Kind Support — $ 174,970.

• Medicaid Shortfall — $7,836,372.

• Medicare Shortfall — $6,221,875.

“When planning hospital and founda-tion programming, including community benefit activities, the Community Health Needs Assessment is a guide used for improving communi-ty health,” said Tammy Allison, vice president of commu-nity health. “With community partners, we consider approaches to com-munity health needs collectively and col-laboratively, taking into account available

resources and expert-ise within our com-munity.

“Community pro-gramming, developed to address identified health issues and challenges, is a demonstration of our deep-rooted respon-siveness to the needs of the community we serve.”

A detailed copy of the 2019 Mary Rutan Foundation Community Report and a copy of the most recent Health Improvement Plan can be viewed at www.maryrutan.org/foundation.

Representatives said the hospital’s employees are the organization’s most important resource. Without their com-mitment to volun-

teerism, to providing exceptional care for everyone regardless of their ability to pay, and to educating the next generation of health professionals, the community bene-fit would not exist.

“Year after year, Mary Rutan Hospital and Mary Rutan Foundation are proud to give millions of dol-lars in community benefit back to our community,” Goble said. “It is a testimony to the commitment and leadership of our medical staff, board of directors, employees, volunteers, and com-munity partners, whose dedication to service, touches many lives and makes our community a better place.”.

Representatives from the Logan County Sewer District reported this week it has fielded questions from area residents regarding activity in the area of the U.S. Route 33 corridor in Eastern Logan County, which they stated relates to a Sanitary Sewer System Study to evaluate and construct a new wastewater treatment plant.

The Logan County Sewer District currently owns and oper-ates a small wastewater facility that serves a small portion of the U.S. 33 Corridor, and this facility is at the end of its operational life.

The Sewer District has secured the services of Jones & Henry

Engineers to evaluate the design and construction of a new waste-water treatment plant, along with the services of Choice One Engineering to evaluate expanding the sanitary sewer service to include the areas of Middleburg and East Liberty.

The objectives of expanding the sanitary sewer service into previ-ously unsewered areas is to address surface and ground water quality that is impacted by failing onsite sewer systems and to pro-mote economic development in these areas, representatives said.

As part of this study, residents may observe activity in these areas related to the extensive survey work needed. The activi-

ties may include the marking of utilities using marking paint or flags.

At the completion of the

study, the Sewer District will conduct meetings with township officials and residents in these areas to present its findings.

Assaults result in charges

Four men were charged with assault Tuesday after they admit-ted beating a man around 10:45 p.m. outside 812 Heritage Court.

Elonta D. Mundy, 18, of Oak Park, Mich.; Dakota A. Lewis, 19, at large; Desmond Mundy, 18, of 117 S. Park St.; and Laythyn Zachrich, 18, of Urbana, each was issued summons for allegedly attacking a 19-year-old male who found face down in a parking lot by officers of the Bellefontaine Police Department.

The victim was sitting in his girlfriend Kierston

Cierico’s car when quar-tet rushed the vehicle and began striking the victim. He sustained multiple visible injuries and was evaluated by Bellefontaine squad per-sonnel.

He refused transport to Mary Rutan Hospital for further treatment.

All four men admitted their parts in the beating, claiming it was in retalia-tion as two girls, ages 14 and 16, alleged the victim had sexually assaulted them Monday night.

Cellular phone videos of Tuesday’s attack were provided by witnesses to officers. Elonta Mundy and Zachrich provided text messages regarding

the alleged sexual assaults.

That case was assigned for further investigation.

• Samuel A.W. Varian, 40, of 300 Clagg St., was charged Tuesday with assault after he allegedly pummeled Chris Helton at 328 Lawrence St.

Helton had visible facial injuries. He said he nearly passed out when Varian took him to the ground in a headlock.

Motorist charged with OVI

Lee Yelton, 33, of 429 W. Brown Ave., was charged Tuesday with operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and

issued a citation for a marked lanes violation.

At 7:50 p.m., an officer on patrol observed a northbound pickup truck cross the center line of Troy Road as it passed under the railroad viaduct and then off the side of the road.

The officer made a U-turn and followed Yelton’s pickup observing several more marked lanes viola-tions before initiating a stop at Sandusky Avenue.

While talking with Yelton, the officer noted an odor of alcohol and asked for another officer to help determine if the motorist had been drink-ing alcohol.

Yelton told them he

had not drank any alcohol that day but had con-sumed heavily the night before.

A simple test indicated he had recently con-sumed alcohol and he was arrested for transport to the police department for a breathalyzer test.

Yelton twice faked breathing into the appara-tus and was informed that because he has two prior OVI convictions, officers could take him to Mary Rutan Hospital for a blood draw for testing.

He again did not pro-vide enough air for a com-plete test. An the fourth test was administered again with Yelton provid-ing inconsistent samples.

Still, the machine record blood alcohol levels of 0.254 and 0.285.

Officers needed a legally admissible results so Yelton was transport-ed to the hospital and a lab technician per-formed a blood draw. The samples were sub-mitted for testing.

Warrants served Christian M.A. Irving,

33, of 316 West St., was served warrants for theft and failure to appear Wednesday and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia after offi-cers found a scale and a straw that appeared to be used for snorting drugs in his book bag.

SportsBY JOHN KEKIS AP SPORTS WRITER

The roar is back at New York's Thunder Road.

Three months after its opening day was canceled by the coronavirus pan-demic, Watkins Glen International is hosting car clubs again as NASCAR weekend looms in mid-August.

“Everybody is excited about getting back in the saddle. I know we are," track president Michael Printup said. "We had some people on furlough and we were able to bring back almost every single person, so that’s good. It’s good to get the activity going, get the track hot.”

Car clubs returned to The Glen two weeks ago and Printup expects the car club schedule will quickly be booked through Nov. 1.

And that would be a very good thing.

“It’s been pretty quiet," Printup said. “When you think about car clubs, we turn those track rentals three times a week. You’re changing 150 to 400 drivers a week that are driving the economy and this commu-nity. It’s sorely missed.”

WGI is a major econom-ic driver in the Finger

Lakes region of upstate New York. NASCAR week-end has sold out five straight times. Attendance figures are not released by the stock car organization, but local officials peg it at over 90,000 annually since 2015. Judy McKinney Cherry, executive director

of the local Partnership for Economic Development, figures the track’s econom-ic impact is at least $275 million annually, based on the most recent study.

Printup figures that num-ber might be down as much as 75% this year. “It’s a pret-ty big number,” he said.

Downtown Watkins Glen businesses have been hit hard.

“It’s been a challenge, there’s no question about it,” said Scott Bell, general manager of the Harbor Hotel, which has remained open during the pandemic. “We’re seeing occupancy levels that can’t even be explained. We don't create the demand, we support the demand, so to have the track open and car clubs coming in, there’s a pulse back in the region, which is wonderful to see.

“It drives the economy, no question about it. We need all cylinders churning in order to capture whatev-

er we can the rest of the summer.”

Most of the schedule at Watkins Glen has been shuffled. IMSA's annual sports car endurance race, the Sahlen’s Six Hours of The Glen, was moved from late June to the first week-end in October and now has been switched to Labor Day weekend. The Sports Car Club of America's Majors Super Tour, origi-nally slated for June, and the Finger Lakes Wine Festival in July have been postponed until 2021.

Untouched so far is NASCAR. Its Cup and Xfinity series are slated to race Aug. 15-16, perhaps

before thousands of fans. Printup said WGI’s pro-

posal to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will be to allow only people from the state and within 150 miles of the track to attend.

“We think we have a pretty good plan on being able to allow a limited number of fans,” Printup said. “We know that to ask him to bring fans from out-side the state was probably going to be a big stretch.

“It’s all about social dis-tancing, temperature takes of every fan," Printup added. "We can social dis-tance them in the grand-stands. We have plenty of those.”

And surely plenty of space to spread out. WGI covers more than 1,800 acres, one of the largest of the 12 tracks NASCAR owns.

“We could probably get 30% to 50% (capacity), but I think to be reasonable we’re going to have to probably bring that num-ber down just to make the governor and his team comfortable,” Printup said. "If they get 30,000 at Bristol (in mid-July), that's proba-bly the outside of what we could do.”

So far, the coronavirus has barely touched Schuyler County, sur-rounding the track. Only 14 cases among its 17,800 res-idents had been docu-mented by late June, with no hospitalizations and no deaths.

The county is one of the most vulnerable economi-cally in the region because it relies heavily on tourism, McKinney Cherry said.

FRIDAY BELLEFONTAINE DIGITAL EDITION EXAMINER 7.3.20

SportsBY DOUG FERGUSON AP GOLF WRITER

Cameron Champ was added to the field in the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit under a modified PGA Tour policy that allows players who test positive for the coronavirus to be eligible if they had no symptoms and get two negative test results at least 24 hours apart.

The decision Wednesday was the latest change to an evolving “Health and Safety Plan” as the tour enters its fourth week back from the COVID-19 shutdown. Champ is among six players and two caddies on the PGA Tour who have tested posi-tive.

Ricky Elliott, the caddie for Brooks Koepka, tested positive before the Travelers Championship last week in Connecticut, and then had a negative test.

The tour said after sev-eral asymptomatic positive tests that were followed by a negative test, it consulted with the CDC and is mov-ing to a test-based model,

which allows players or caddies to return if they have two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. Previously, the tour relied on time-based protocols that required those who test positive to self-isolate for at least 10 days.

Champ tested positive on June 23 and withdrew from the Travelers Championship. The tour said he had three negative tests over the 72 hours. He still had to be tested at Detroit Golf Club upon arrival. Champ was set to tee off as a single at 2:10 p.m. Thursday on the 10th tee.

“Today’s changes -- and those announced over the past week -- illustrate our commitment to preserving the health and well-being of our athletes, constituents and our impact on the com-munities in which we play, as well as a willingness to make medically sound adjustments that allow our players to compete, safely,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “The continued

success of our return to golf depends on that approach.”

Harris English and Chad Campbell tested positive

when they arrived in Detroit for the Rocket Mortgage Classic, while Brandon Wu and Jonathan Hodge had

positive tests in Colorado on the Korn Ferry Tour. The tour said all were asympto-matic. They would be eligi-

ble to play next week if they have two negative tests at least 24 hours apart.

The tour made two other adjustments to its policy.

Players who are coming off a break must take a home test for the coron-avirus if they want to be eligible for a stipend to cover their costs if they test positive. The stipend -- reported to be worth up to $100,000 for PGA Tour players -- will be the same amount for a positive test returned at home or a tour-nament site.

That makes eight changes to the evolving policy since the tour resumed its schedule June 8 at Colonial in Fort Worth, Texas. Other changes include players being test-ed before taking a charter to the next flight and when they arrive at the next event; players not receiving a stipend for a positive test if they don’t follow safety protocols; and players or caddies being banned from the golf course until their tests results are back.

Boise State cutting baseball, women’s swimming and divingBOISE, Idaho (AP) —

Boise State is discontinuing its baseball program just months after the school was forced to cut short its first season in 40 years with only a handful of games played.

The school has also cut women's swimming and diving because of budget issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Boise State said cutting the two programs along with additional depart-ment and program oper-ating reductions will

reduce the overall athletic budget by nearly $3 mil-lion.

“This is one of the hard-est decisions athletic departments have to make, but it comes at a time when we are facing the most serious financial chal-lenge we have ever seen,” Boise State athletic director Curt Apsey said in a state-ment Thursday.

The baseball program had recently been reinstat-ed. The school announced in 2017 that it was adding baseball after it had been

discontinued following the 1980 season. The team was playing for the first time this year but the Broncos managed only 14 games before the season was can-celed.

Women's swimming and diving had been offered at Boise State since the 2006-07 school year.

“The university had already been working closely with athletics to create a sustainable budg-et. The pandemic has made a challenging finan-cial situation unsustain-

able," university President Marlene Tromp said. "Ultimately, the reduction of the number of sports in which we compete allows Boise State a better chance of remaining com-petitive at the highest level and provides a more realistic roadmap to a sus-tainable future for the university and athletic department.”

The school said it will honor all scholarships for athletes in the affected pro-grams, including incoming 2020 signings.

TOLEDO — Major League Baseball has announced the 2020 Minor League Baseball season will not be played due to the COVID-19 pandemic, canceling any chance the Mud Hens had at a campaign.

“We couldn’t wait for the 2020 season, the schedule was great, we were projected to have some of the top prospects in baseball and Fifth Third Field was to wel-come its 10 millionth guest,” Erik Ibsen, Toledo Mud Hens Executive Vice President and General Manager, said.

“Until today we were prepping for a shortened season. This is a difficult time for our organization and your support is needed now more than ever. We look forward to welcoming you back to Fifth Third Field this summer, even without a Mud Hens sea-son.”

SportsBY ROB MAADDI AP PRO FOOTBALL WRITER

Some NFL players are raising concerns about playing football amid the coronavirus pandemic while others are ignoring advice of medical experts by working out with team-mates.

JC Tretter, a center on the Cleveland Browns and president of the NFL Players Association, wrote an open letter to players on Tuesday, saying they have to fight for “necessary COVID-19 protections.”

New Orleans Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said last week that “football is a nonessential business and so we don’t need to do it.”

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward has asthma so he wants to “take every precau-tion” if he plays.

“We are not invincible, and as recent reports have shown, we certainly aren’t immune to this virus,” Tretter wrote in his letter. “Underlying conditions like high BMI, asthma and sleep apnea are all associ-ated with a higher risk of developing severe symp-toms and complications when infected with COVID-19. Those condi-tions are widespread across the league. NFL players are humans — some with immuno-compromised family members or live-in elderly parents. Trust me: we want to play football. But as a union, our most important job is keep our players safe and alive. The NFLPA will fight for our most at-risk players and their families.”

The league informed

owners last week that training camp is expected to open as scheduled later this month. Discussions regarding shortening the preseason schedule are ongoing and an announce-ment is expected soon.

Dr. Allen Sills, the league's chief medical offi-cer, said he has regular communication with med-ical officers of other profes-sional sports leagues and they are learning from one another.

“We’re approaching this as a medical and public health problem,” Sills said Wednesday. “This isn’t about one league having an advantage over another. We’re working together as a group of medical profes-

sionals saying how can we do the best job in taking care of our patients in cre-ating the safest possible environments.”

The NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame already canceled the open-ing preseason game between Dallas and Pittsburgh set for Aug. 6. The hall’s induction ceremonies set for Aug. 8, and for mid-September for a special cen-tennial class, were moved to August 2021, when the Cowboys and Steelers will play in the game.

“I want to play football. I think all my peers want to play football. It’s how we make a living,” Jenkins said in a video posted on Twitter. “But there’s so

much that we don’t know right now. When we look at what’s happening in the country, cases are going up, projected deaths are going up. ... I know that the bar for the NFL is going to be high when it comes to creating a safe working environment and making it as safe as possible for guys to come back as we keep in mind it’s not just about the athletes and their health and the coaches and staff, but our families, too.”

Sills said information gathered from other sports leagues domestically and internationally will help shape the way the NFL approaches its season.

“I absolutely expect that our protocols will change

and will evolve as we go through the regular season based upon some of this new knowledge,” Sills said. “That’s the nature of med-ical practice: that we’re always looking to improve based upon emerging knowledge and emerging data and those things will change. And so I don’t think none of us should be surprised by that and that’s part of our commitment on the health and safety side is to try to stay abreast of what’s happening in the medical fields and in the other sports leagues and continue to improve those protocols for the safety of everyone.”

Dr. Thom Mayer, the union’s medical officer,

advised players on June 20 to stop working out togeth-er. Still, Tom Brady and Russell Wilson appear to have ignored those warn-ings, based on social media posts. And a video posted Tuesday showed new Patriots quarterback Cam Newton working out with wide receiver Mohamed Sanu.

Numerous players in the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball have test-ed positive for COVID-19 as those sports have started preparations to return to play. Some players across those leagues have opted out, citing medical con-cerns.

“It is the responsibility of the employer to provide a safe work environment,” Tretter told NFL players. “I encourage all workers to hold their employers accountable to high stan-dards. More so than any other sport, the game of football is the perfect storm for virus transmission. There are protections, both short and long term, that must be agreed upon before we can safely return to work. The NFLPA will be diligent as we demand that the NFL provide us the safest workplace possible.”

The NFL and the play-ers’ union haven’t agreed yet on protocols to open training camps. Players are holding a league-wide call on Thursday to discuss the proposals.

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb wrote on Twitter: “I would advise everyone to get on this call to hear the plans so you’re informed and know what to expect going into camp.”'

SportsBY JIMMY GOLEN AP SPORTS WRITER

One is a man of a mil-lion fedoras.

The other is all about the hoodie.

But whether Cam Newton and Bill Belichick can take the New England Patriots back to the Super Bowl is going to be more about football than fashion.

The Patriots have turned to the former Panthers quarterback to replace Tom Brady, who defected to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after 19 years, six Super Bowls and three NFL MVP awards. Newton gets his fresh start in New England after nine seasons in Carolina, where his own MVP-winning career had stalled because of injuries.

“Bill always says the goal for any good team is to have as many good players as possible," Jason McCourty said on the pod-cast he hosts with his twin brother and fellow Patriots defensive back, Devin.

"Cam Newton is a for-mer MVP of this league, played in the Super Bowl — that caliber of a player — so I think the better players we have in our locker room, the better we’re going to be able to perform as a team.”

Newton, 31, agreed to

terms on Sunday on a deal that will pay him up to $7.5 million this season, a person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the deal.

The Patriots declined to comment on the reports.

But Newton wrote on Instagram Sunday night, “I’m excited as I don’t know what right now,” ending the post with “LetsGoPats.”

A Heisman Trophy win-ner who was the No. 1 over-all pick in the 2011 draft, Newton peaked in 2015,

when he was the NFL MVP after leading the Panthers to a 15-1 record and a Super Bowl appearance. If he's healthy, he gives the Patriots something even Brady didn’t: a mobile QB who challenges defenses to chase him and bring him down.

Brady has averaged 1.7

yards per carry while rush-ing for 1,037 yards in 20 seasons in New England -- about two seasons worth for Newton, who picked up an average of more than 5 yards when he ran the ball. (Of course, Newton’s 10 career playoff touchdown passes are a couple of typi-

cal postseasons for Brady.) “When you’re talking

about mobile quarterbacks, guys that are tough to han-dle, tackle, can throw, run, make good decisions — I mean, I would put Newton at the top of the list,” Belichick said when the Patriots faced Newton in 2017.

“He makes good deci-sions. He can run. He’s strong. He’s hard to tackle. He can do a lot of different things, beat you in a lot of different ways,” Belichick said. “Not saying the other guys aren’t a problem, because they are, but he’s public enemy No. 1.”

But since then Newton has had two shoulder oper-ations and one on his foot, and he missed all but two games last season. He has lost his past eight starts in all, getting more attention for his colorful postgame attire than his play.

Brady, who is married to supermodel Giselle Bundchen, did his share of preening, and in his later years his outside interests seem to intrude on what had previously been a foot-ball-first mentality.

The dour Belichick tol-erated it as long as they were winning, which they have done more than any coach and quarterback combo in NFL history.

Patriots hope winning still in fashion for new QB Newton
