Please listen to the entire prompt menu and write down your conﬁrmation number. Without the conﬁrmation number you will not have an appointment. Eligible applicants can be assisted in two ways which are listed below: (1) An income eligible household, under 60, where the individual has a current qualifying (chronic) medical condition/breathing disorder, (ex: lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or asthma). It must be veriﬁed within the last three months, (you will be required to have a physician documentation statement on your appointment day, which can be picked up at our Cheshire and Middleport ofﬁces and taken to your medical doctor before your appointment) (2) An income eligible household where an household member is 60 or older. No medical statement will be required over the age of 60. The income eligible household may receive one payment for electric bill up to the current bill or be a ﬁrst PIPP Plus customer, but not to exceed $300 (AEP) or $500 (BREC) or may repair your central air up to $300 (homeowner only) or a new window unit if there is no central air. If you are in disconnect status, you will be required to pay the difference before we can assist with our maximum payments. However, a PIPP Plus customer with AEP is not eligible for assistance with the electric bill, but may be eligible for a window unit or central air repair.

That’s more expensive than the $9.95 monthly fee for MoviePass, but AMC’s plan gives access to premium format screenings like IMAX and 3-D. The new subscription model is the latest salvo — and ﬁrst major one from a top theater chain — in a heated battle for what the movie business most craves: frequent moviegoers. AMC Theatres chief executive Adam Aron pointedly said in a statement that AMC’s program is at a “sustainable price.” Since MoviePass slashed its monthly fee, Summer drinks may lack fizz amid carbon dioxide shortage LONDON (AP) — A British trade group says there’s a shortage of carbon dioxide in Northern Europe, sparking fears that drinks may lack ﬁzz just as thirsty soccer fans ﬁll pubs for the World Cup. Gavin Partington, director-general of the British Soft Drinks Association, says the shortage is due to the closure of several production sites for various reasons, including seasonal maintenance. But industry publication Gasworld says the situation is worse this year because normal maintenance has coincided with technical issues at chemical plants that also produce carbon dioxide. That shortage comes just as the World Cup is getting underway in Russia, driving up demand for beer and soft drinks.

The 28-nation EU was ﬁrst expected to do so only next month but EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said they would introduce “rebalancing” tariffs on about 2.8 billion euros’ ($3.4 billion) worth of U.S. products this week.

There are 193 days left in the year. Summer begins at 6:07 a.m. Eastern time. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 21, 1788, the United States Constitution went into effect as New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify it. On this date: In 1377, King Edward III died after ruling England for 50 years; he was succeeded by his grandson, Richard II. In 1834, Cyrus Hall THOUGHT McCormick received a patent for his reaping machine. FOR TODAY In 1932, heavyweight “It is only on paper Max Schmeling lost a title that one moralizes — just where one ﬁght rematch in New York shouldn’t.” by decision to Jack Sharkey, — Richard Le prompting Schmeling’s Gallienne, English manager, Joe Jacobs, to poet and essayist exclaim: “We was robbed!” (1866-1947). In 1942, German forces led by Generaloberst (Colonel General) Erwin Rommel captured the Libyan city of Tobruk during World War II. (Rommel was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal; Tobruk was retaken by the Allies in November 1942.) An Imperial Japanese submarine ﬁred shells at Fort Stevens on the Oregon coast, causing little damage. In 1943, Army nurse Lt. Edith Greenwood became the ﬁrst woman to receive the Soldier’s Medal for showing heroism during a ﬁre at a military hospital in Yuma, Arizona. In 1948, the Republican national convention opened in Philadelphia. (The delegates ended up choosing Thomas E. Dewey to be their presidential nominee.) In 1963, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini was chosen during a conclave of his fellow cardinals to succeed the late Pope John XXIII; the new pope took the name Paul VI. In 1964, civil rights workers Michael H. Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James E. Chaney were slain in Philadelphia, Mississippi; their bodies were found buried in an earthen dam six weeks later. (Forty-one years later on this date in 2005, Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old former Ku Klux Klansman, was found guilty of manslaughter; he was sentenced to 60 years in prison, where he died in January 2018.) In 1977, Menachem Begin (men-AH’-kem BAY’gihn) of the Likud bloc became Israel’s sixth prime minister. In 1982, a jury in Washington, D.C. found John Hinckley Jr. not guilty by reason of insanity in the shootings of President Ronald Reagan and three other men. In 1988, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” a comedy fantasy starring Bob Hoskins that combined live action and legendary animated cartoon characters, premiered in New York. In 1989, a sharply divided Supreme Court ruled that burning the American ﬂag as a form of political protest was protected by the First Amendment. Ten years ago: The ferry Princess of the Stars, carrying more than 800 people, capsized as Typhoon Fengshen battered the Philippines; only some four dozen people survived. Scott Kalitta died when his Funny Car burst into ﬂames and crashed at the end of the track during the ﬁnal round of qualifying for the Lucas Oil NHRA SuperNationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in New Jersey. Five years ago: A one-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court accused former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden of espionage and theft of government property in the NSA surveillance case. President Barack Obama nominated James Comey, a top Bush-era Justice ofﬁcial, to head the FBI, succeeding Robert Mueller. The Food Network said it was dropping Paula Deen, barely an hour after the celebrity cook posted the ﬁrst of two videotaped apologies online begging forgiveness from fans and critics troubled by her admission to having used racial slurs in the past. One year ago: A man armed with a knife wounded a police ofﬁcer at Flint International Airport in Michigan; a Tunisian-born Canadian resident has been charged in the attack. Edmonton’s Connor McDavid won the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player at the league’s postseason awards show in Las Vegas. Today’s Birthdays: Composer Lalo Schifrin is 86.

THEIR VIEW Coffee isn’t going to kill anyone California needs a smarter system to let us know what’s dangerous any of the approximately 850 chemicals that are conﬁrmed or suspected carcinogens. This seems perfectly Editorial by The Times Editorial Agency for Research on reasonable. Who wants Board, Los Angeles Times: Cancer, which reviewed to be exposed unknow1,000 studies, reported ingly to something that Los Angeles Superior last week that there is just might cause cancer? But Court Judge Elihu M. Berle ruled in March that no proof that coffee causes warnings are required cancer. Furthermore, for chemicals listed in coffee should carry the Proposition 65 unless it is warning labels mandated there’s a wealth of scientiﬁc data indicating that shown that exposure isn’t by California’s Proposidangerous.

But smallest businesses to unprecedented — and warn people when know- most welcome — step Frithe World Health Orgaingly exposing them to nization’s International day of announcing plans to exempt coffee from the warnings in light of the new WHO report. We lift a ﬁgurative cold brew to California’s Ofﬁce of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment for taking this extra step to clear up the confusion. We also appreciate the new warning signs designed by the agency that identify at least one of the chemicals present by name and include an online link to more information about the exposure. The public badly needs more information about what it is being warned about and why. But the fact that the agency had to make a rule just for coffee exposes a fundamental ﬂaw in Proposition 65. The measure is so broad, its warnings may actually make it harder for Californians to assess the real dangers they encounter. THEIR VIEW Supremely unhelpful on gerrymandering Editorial by The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, Chicago Tribune: If you were counting on the U.S. Supreme Court to put an end to Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan’s self-dealing manipulation of the Illinois legislative maps, guess again. Monday’s long-awaited rulings on two gerrymandering cases resolved exactly nothing. The justices said the Democratic voters who sued over Wisconsin’s 2011 maps hadn’t shown they were harmed individually by Republicans’ statewide power grab, so it’s back to the lower courts to make that case. Having punted on the chance to set a legal standard to identify unconstitutional partisan gerrymanders, the justices saw no reason to force Maryland to redraw its maps before the 2018 election. In cases dating back to 1986, the Supreme Court has acknowledged that partisan mapmaking could theoretically cross a line, but justices have refused to draw that line themselves. Maps that deliberately dilute one party’s strength could violate the 14th Amend- ment’s equal protection clause. Maps that sort residents into districts based on how they’re expected to vote could run afoul of the First Amendment right to free expression. Your vote is your voice. But since drawing legislative boundaries is inherently political, the still unanswered question is, how far is too far? That question has paralyzed the justices for decades. Politicians, meanwhile, have harnessed evermore-sophisticated software to rig the maps with abandon: The Wisconsin Assembly map, drawn by Republicans, resulted in the GOP claiming 60 of 99 seats in 2012, despite winning only 49 percent of the statewide vote. Maryland’s map includes a misshapen district — drawn by Democrats to elect a Democrat — that one federal judge described as a brokenwinged pterodactyl, lying prostrate across the center of the state. In North Carolina, roughly 30 percent of voters are registered Republicans, but the party holds 10 of the state’s 13 seats in Congress. In 2010, Illinois vot- ers sent 11 Republicans and eight Democrats to Congress. Two years later, under a new map crafted by Madigan’s Democrats, the delegation ﬂipped to six Republicans and 12 Democrats. (The state lost one seat because its population dropped.) Patently corrupt, or just politics? It’s the wrong question. A better question is, why do we allow politicians to draw their own districts in the ﬁrst place? Fair representation is supposed to be the goal of legislative mapmaking. But politicians can’t resist the chance to rearrange the maps to suit themselves. Some neighborhoods are parceled into several districts, to reduce their voting power. Some voters are drawn into pterodactyl-shaped districts, to protect incumbents. Voters come last. Let’s pretend the Supreme Court had gone the distance on the Wisconsin case, smiling on the plaintiffs’ proffered metric to measure partisan cheating. That wouldn’t stop the Madigans of the world from gaming the legislative maps. It would simply create a new set of obstacles. Politicians would test them, citizens would sue. Keep in mind that we’re two years away from the 2020 census and still tied up in court over maps that are based on the 2010 census. Stop waiting for the supremely unhelpful courts. A handful of states already have taken redistricting out of the hands of politicians and assigned the job to independent commissions. Last month, Ohio voters approved a referendum to do so. Colorado, Utah, Missouri and Michigan are within striking distance. And Illinois? Citizens have collected hundreds of thousands of signatures, and raised and spent millions of dollars trying to get a measure on the ballot, only to lose to Madigan-sponsored court challenges — three times. This year, they lobbied lawmakers to put an amendment on the ballot instead, but Illinois lawmakers don’t get their marching orders from voters. Yes, it’s discouraging. Double down. The Supreme Court isn’t going to ﬁx this racket. Voters are going to have to do it themselves. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Thursday, June 21, 2018 5A Vets TOPS hold meeting at St. Paul’s UMC From page 1A Regatta From page 1A family roots in Mason County.

Maze said, “With homeless or at-risk veterans, we want to identify previous issues, needs, and what services we can provide within the community to increase the chances of longterm stability. And most often, the veteran’s needs and barriers intertwine. If the veteran has no source of income, it will be difﬁcult for them to afford housing on his or her own. If the veteran has no transportation, employment opportunities may be limited, and again housing becomes an issue. By taking these barriers into consideration, WashingtonMorgan County Community Action hopes to not only assist veteran families temporarily with ﬁnancial assistance and/ or case management but we hope to help the Veteran reach the long-term goal of housing stability by working with community resources.” Currently, Maze states most of the veterans are working hard toward their housing stability plan by securing housing and establishing or seeking employment.

Tony Dejak | AP file The Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James has until June 29 to exercise his $35.6 million contract option for next season or decline it and become an unrestricted free agent, officially making him the planet’s best and most coveted player. The 33-year-old is not expected to reveal his intentions until after the draft. Cavs unsure of LeBron’s plans CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James won’t be picking any players during Thursday’s NBA draft. At least not directly. With the trajectory of their franchise riding on where he decides to play next season and beyond, the Cleveland Cavaliers will enter this year’s draft not knowing if they’re choosing a player to help them — and James — contend for another championship, develop a prospect for the future or potentially take a player to trade. It’s a guessing game. James has until June 29 to exercise his $35.6 million contract option for next season or decline it and become an unrestricted free agent, ofﬁcially making him the planet’s best and most coveted player. The 33-year-old is not expected to reveal his intentions until after the draft. By that time, the Cavs, still stinging from a Finals sweep at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, hope to have chosen a player that makes them more appealing to the threetime champion, who is mulling whether to leave them — and his Northeast Ohio home — for the second time in his career. Anything seems possi- ble at this point. James and his representatives have kept an air-tight lid on their plans. The Cavs, too, have been secretive while general manager Koby Altman prepares for his ﬁrst draft by consulting with his staff on what to do with the No. 8 overall pick, the one they received last summer in the seismic trade that sent All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics. It’s quite a quandary for Cleveland, and James isn’t helping the Cavs by keeping them in suspense. It’s also possible that James hasn’t made up his mind. Following Game 4 in the Finals, James said he’ll factor in his family’s well-being along with his thirst to win more titles into a decision that once again has Cleveland edgy. “I still want to be in championship mode,” he said. “I think I’ve shown this year why I will still continue to be in championship mode.” And while there are numerous unknowns, there is one indisputable fact: the Cavs must upgrade their roster to have any chance of keeping James and continuing a relationship that was resurrected in 2014. After yielding to Irving’s request and trading him, the Cavs spent all last season trying to replace him. They never came close, and without a dependable second scoring option or a guard, James was forced to shoulder a heavier load than ever. He succeeded in getting to his eighth straight Finals, but was then overmatched by the deeper Warriors. To remain viable contenders and keep James happy and healthy, the Cavs must address their backcourt issue this summer, either in the draft, through free agency or a trade. With this year’s draft top loaded with quality big men, there’s a strong possibility the Cavs will have their pick of one of the elite guards, perhaps Oklahoma’s Trae Young or Alabama’s Collin Sexton — two players James has praised in the past. Young was college basketball’s most electrifying player last season, averaging 27.4 points and 8.7 assists even while teams designed defenses speciﬁcally to stop him. James kept an eye on the 6-foot-2 scoring phenom from afar and is intrigued by not only his ability to break down teams but his unselﬁshness. Young could be gone by the time the Cavs are on the clock, but Sexton would be a nice backup plan. The 6-foot3 guard averaged 19.2 points and 3.6 assists as a freshman and showed he’s got a big-game gene, carrying the Crimson Tide on a run in the SEC tournament that secured the school’s ﬁrst NCAA berth since 2012. Sexton worked out for the Cavs at their training facility and owner Dan Gilbert referred to the 19-year-old as “a very interesting draft prospect” on Twitter. There’s also a chance that Cleveland could select a guard to use to entice a major trade. The Cavs have long been interested in Charlotte’s Kemba Walker, who will be a free agent after next season, and landing a player of that caliber would send a resounding message to James that they intend to keep chasing championships. Walker might not be enough to keep James here, but he would give the Cavs a new star to build around. James has remained off social media since the playoffs began in April, and his selfimposed blackout has continued since the Finals ended. He’s been quiet, but there’s no doubt he’s watching. Every move. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Thursday, June 21, 2018 7A OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Tri-County Junior Golf Schedule GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — The schedule for the 2018 Frank Capehart Tri-County Junior Golf League has been released.

According to their website, Hailing from rural Southeast Ohio, The Wayfarers emerged onto the scene in early 2010 playing their own form of American Roots music. While much of their repertoire is drawn from the Appalachian tradition they revere, The Wayfarers fuse tight musicianship — centered largely by the ﬁddle — with the high energy that charac- terized early mountain music. The Wayfarers have been featured on the national PBS television series “Song of the Mountains”, toured much of the Midwest and Southern Appalachians, released four studio albums, and have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in bluegrass and country music; including Ralph Stanley, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart, Connie Smith, Dailey & Vincent, Lonesome River Band, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Rhonda Vincent, Marty Raybon, Jerry Douglas, and many more. The Classic Rock Experience is described as a 70s arena rock show, featuring the music of Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Journey and many others. “The Classic Rock Experience combines all of those Live Theatrical aspects into an audio and visual production to present an Authentic Epic 70’s Rock Concert Recreation performing only the Greatest classic rock musical anthems of the 70s,” according to their website. Wallen will take to the Party in the Park stage at 9:30 p.m. on Sept. 8 to wrap-up the three days of live music. According to his website, File photo Crowds will once again pack Star Mill Park for the the annual Party in the Park. Wallen was a contestant on The Voice and has a hit song “Up Down” with Florida Georgia Line. With his debut album, IF I KNOW ME, the hit maker behind “Up Down” (ft. Florida Georgia Line) and “The Way I Talk” lays his cards out on the table: Work hard. Love hard. Party down. Respect the past and make your own future. … Know yourself. Wallen is a chart-topping songwriter with his name on tracks like Jason Aldean’s “You Make It Easy,” a Grand Ole Opry performer and an artist on the fast track with over 100 million Spotify streams, earning the respect of legends like Bill Anderson and country’s new generation at the same time.
