State budget to include Ohio K-12 school funding overhaul COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A bipartisan school-funding plan in the works for years is back in Ohio’s upcoming state budget, under a compromise approved Monday by a joint legislative committee working out final details of the $75 billion spending plan. The Republican-controlled House had included the education proposal known as the Fair School Funding Plan in its version of the budget passed in April. The plan, supported by multiple education advocacy groups, is meant to bring more reliability to annual school funding payments to districts. The GOP-controlled Senate stripped the plan from its COLUMBUS — Ohio’s new state budget is making major investments in Southeast Ohio priorities, State Representative Jay Edwards announced Monday evening. According to a news release sent on behalf of Edwards (R-Nelsonville), he “helped advance several initiatives included in the final version of the new two-year state budget,” which was approved by lawmakers in the Ohio House and Ohio Senate. “We’re investing in our part of Ohio, we’re investing in education and workforce development,” Edwards said. “The budget supports law enforcement, first responders and veterans. We’re making a major investment in broadband and we’re helping Ohioans keep more of budget version approved earlier this month, saying its own proposal provided more money than the House plan over the next two years. The budget approved by the House and Senate Monday night and sent to GOP Gov. Mike DeWine would provide about $10.9 billion for districts for the next two years, with an estimated per pupil cost of $7,202, according to an analysis by the Legislative Service Commission. Under the deal reached with the Senate, new per student calculations will be made in future budgets, and won’t be arrived at through an automatic funding formula. DeWine must sign the bud- AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) get by July 1 and could veto some items, though he hasn’t indicated if anything is on the chopping block. Restoration of the Fair School Funding Plan brought praise from school organizations. “Enacting this funding model represents a generational investment that will thrust Ohio forward into an era of stable and predictable education budgets to help schools meet the needs of all students,” said Rick Lewis, CEO of the Ohio School Boards Association. The Senate also included a plan that for the first time would require the state, not individual districts, to pay charter schools directly. The budget compromise announced Monday keeps the direct payment to charter schools. Senate President Matt Huffman, a Lima Republican, suggested that keeping such direct payments in the budget helped the two sides come together on the school funding plan. “Those things really cleared the picture,” he said. The budget also increases the maximum amount for vouchers to attend private schools from $4,650 to $5,500 for children in grades K-8 and from $6,000 to $7,500 for high school students.

On this date In 1865, eight people, including Mary Surratt and Dr. Samuel Mudd, were convicted by a military commission of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. (Four defendants, including Surratt, were executed; Mudd was sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.) In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees. In 1917, singer, actor and activist Lena Horne was born in Brooklyn, New York. In 1918, labor activist and socialist Eugene V. Debs was arrested in Cleveland, charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for a speech he’d made two weeks earlier denouncing U.S. involvement in World War I. (Debs was sentenced to prison and disenfranchised for life.) In 1934, Adolf Hitler launched his “blood purge” of political and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as “The Night of the Long Knives.” In 1958, the U.S. Senate passed the Alaska statehood bill by a vote of 64-20.

The state estimates 300,000 households and at least 1 million residents across Ohio lack broadband. The Senate had removed the broadband funding after Huffman said there weren’t enough details on how the money would be spent for the Senate to support it. Among other details in the final version of the budget, the plan: — Provides a 3% personal income tax cut for Ohioans, a compromise between the House plan, which proposed a 2% cut, and the Senate, which wanted a 5% personal income tax cut. Democrats oppose the cut, saying it will benefit the wealthiest Ohioans. The budget also eliminates income tax payments for anyone earning $25,000 or less, up from a previous maximum of $22,150. — Restores a requirement that publicly funded day cares must achieve a quality of care rating to be listed in the state system. The Senate removed the mandate, leading to an outcry of advocates for lowincome families. — Removes a Senateadded requirement that food stamp recipients must undergo an asset test that would have measured recipients’ total worth, including the value of cars owned by anyone in a household. — Allots $170 million over two years for the state’s H2Ohio clean water initiative. — Declares Juneteenth a state holiday in Ohio. The day commemorating June 19, 1865, when slaves in Galveston, Texas, were told they were free, was declared a national holiday earlier this month. but it doesn’t feel like it’s a bad idea based on the situation,” said Mike DuHaime, a longtime Republican strategist. “The party has changed, the voters are changing and I think the process has changed. And I think many of the candidates have realized that.” For now, a central question in Republican politics is whether Trump, who continues to advance lies about his loss last year to Joe Biden, will run again. The former president has said he will make a decision after next year’s midterms. In the meantime, he faces mounting legal vulnerabilities, including the potential that prosecutors in Manhattan may file criminal charges against his company as soon as this week. Trump is also under investigation by a district attorney in Georgia for attempting to pressure elections officials to change results in his favor. Still, Trump, who left office in January under the cloud of impeachment for inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol, is flirting with a political future. Returning to the rally stage last weekend for the first time as a private citizen, Trump looked every bit the candidate as an enthusiastic crowd of thousands in Ohio chanted, “Four more years!” “We won the election twice,” he said. “And it’s possible we’ll have to win it a third time.” The specter of Trump has been especially challenging for Republicans like Pence. As a conservative evangelical Christian who was Trump’s unflinchingly loyal vice president, Pence would seem appealing to many of the party’s activists. But his decision to follow the constitutional process and certify Biden’s win angered many in the GOP. Though he still heaps praise on Trump’s accomplishments, Pence has worked more recently to forge his own identity, splitting with his former boss in particular over the severity of the deadly Jan. 6 riot, which forced him into hiding but which many Republicans have sought to minimize. That balancing act came into sharp relief Thursday as Pence delivered a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in front of a soldout crowd of more than 800 people during a swing through California that included meetings with donors and a headline speech at a Republican National Committee dinner. After being booed and jeered the week before at a conservative conference in Florida, Pence appeared to have a newfound sense of swagger as he delivered his strongest rebuttal to date of Trump’s continued insistence that he could have unilaterally overturned the results of the last election. Many of Trump’s supporters continue to blame Pence for Trump’s loss, even though he had no power to overturn the results. “The truth is, there’s almost no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president,” Pence said, adding that he would “always be proud that we did our part, on that tragic day, to reconvene the Congress and fulfill our duty under the Constitution and the laws of the United States.” It’s been a similar tightrope act for Haley, Trump’s former ambassador to the United Nations and a former governor of South Carolina, who sharply criticized Trump after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot but has since largely avoided the subject. At a Thursday dinner during a three-day swing across Iowa, Haley presented herself to about 500 Republican activists as a next-generation conservative figure. hold; Proof of disability (if applicable); Physician documentation that From page 1 cooling assistance and/or air conditioner/fans are needed for following documents to their a household member’s health. appointment: Air Conditioners and fans are Copies of their most recent by appointments only; energy bills, both gas/bulk (if Physician’s forms can be used as main heating source) picked up at our Gallia office, and electric; 1176 Jackson Pike, Gallipolis or A list of all household memthe Meigs office, 1369 Powell bers, dates of birth and proof St. Middleport, once all docuof income for the last 30 days or 12 months for each member, ments are gathered, they can be dropped off at either location (Pay stubs must include name in our drop box at the same and address of employer); Copies of Social Security card address; All documentations must for all members of the house- be dropped off before your appointed time with a working phone number that client can be reached at.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — In the past week alone, Nikki Haley regaled activists in Iowa, Mike Pence courted donors in California and Donald Trump returned to the rally stage, teasing a third campaign for the White House. The midterms are more than a year away, and there are 1,225 days until the next presidential election. But Republicans eyeing a White House run are wasting no time in jockeying for a strong position in what could emerge as an extremely crowded field of contenders. The politicking will only intensify in the coming weeks, particularly in Iowa, home to the nation’s leadoff presidential caucuses and a state where conservative evangelicals play a significant role in steering the direction of the GOP. Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas is slated to visit on Tuesday, and others, including Pence, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are expected to appear in July. The flurry of activity is a sign that there is no clear frontrunner to lead the GOP if Trump opts against a 2024 campaign. “It definitely feels early, Program Liberty opportunity to develop their own “spy skills” by learning about and practicing several methods used to send secret and encoded messages during the war,” Cas- TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 76° 85° 81° Rain today.

Lee, a native of Musselburgh, Scotland and a Spring 2021 graduate of the University of Northwestern Ohio, takes over for Keith Wilson, who retired from coaching shortly after the conclusion of the 2021 season. “We’re very excited to have Lauren join our team at Rio as the new head coach of both the men’s and women’s golf programs,” Lanham said. “We would also like to thank coach Wilson for guiding Rio golf for the past five years. We feel that coach Lee will be able to build on this foundation and continue to grow both programs.” Lee was an all-Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference honoree this Spring after helping UNOH to a league title and its fourth straight appearance in the NAIA National Championship. “It’s a new adventure for me and I’m excited to get the ball rolling,” said Lee. “I’ve been in the state of Ohio for the past four years and wanted to get into the golf coaching side of things. The opportunity to do that came up and I’m honored to be given the chance Lee to go for it.” Lee’s performance with the Racers steadily progressed throughout her career, including a WHAC Women’s Golfer of the Week honor for the week ending March 28 after she posted a second-place finish in the Oliver Nazarene University Spring Intercollegiate. “Coach Lee has the unique combination of a heart for student-athletes, the ability to teach the game of golf, to communicate clearly and the expression of a tremendous passion for the game of golf,” said Lanham. “This blend will quickly move our golf student-athletes to amazing heights on the course, in the classroom and in the community.” Lee, who’ll be coaching players who are, essentially, her same age, said the lack of an age gap is something she can use to her advantage. “Actually, I see it as a benefit,” she said. “Through the coaches I’ve had in my own career, I know what is to be expected and I know what I’d like to do with the players we have now and the ones we’ll have in the future. The goal is to do what we did in the program I’m coming from and that is to get to the nationals.” And what about the opportunity to coach players of the opposite sex? While those situations are commonplace in high school and collegiate athletics with men coaching both genders, having a woman coach male athletes is, in many circles, still considered trend-setting. “I don’t believe it’s a gender issue as much as it is a coaching issue in general,” Lee said. “It’s all about making players better and seeing that they enjoy the college experience.” Lee added that she plans to recruit throughout the state of Ohio and the region, but added that she hopes to bring the RedStorm rosters something they’ve lacked since the revival of the programs - an international flair. “At the end of the day, it’s about having your best five players out there. But at the same time, it would be nice to have some variety,” said Lee, who saw the See LEE | 9 Lawmakers vow bill for college athletes to earn off likeness FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Two lawmakers pledged Monday to push for legislation guaranteeing Kentucky college athletes can be compensated for their name, image and likeness in a follow up to the governor’s executive action. State Sens. Max Wise and Morgan McGarvey offered the bipartisan commitment just days after Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order enabling the state’s college athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness. The lawmakers praised the Democratic governor’s executive action and vowed to help lead the push to put those compensation protections into Kentucky law. “Next session, we will have a bill that protects Kentucky student-athletes and … lets the athletes of Kentucky know that they will have an advantage that benefits them when they attend a university in Kentucky,” McGarvey said at a statehouse news conference. Kentucky lawmakers will reconvene in early January for their next regular session. Wise, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, predicted the eventual legislation will win strong support from his fellow Senate Republicans. McGarvey is the top-ranking Democrat in the GOP-led Kentucky Senate. Beshear’s executive order takes effect July 1, when similar measures passed in several other states will become law. Those laws make it impermissible for the NCAA and members schools to prevent athletes from being paid by third parties for things like sponsorship deals, online endorsements and personal appearances. Beshear’s office said he was the first governor to make the change by executive order. Existing state law gave him the authority to take the action, the governor said. “This is going to last until either the NCAA fully and finally acts, or the legislature is back in session, at which time we all agree we would need legislation,” Beshear said after signing the order. Beshear won widespread praise from college coaches and administrators in Kentucky for his action. Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers, a Republican, said last week he supported the governor’s “narrow and temporary action,” which he said provided “the tools needed to ensure that Kentucky’s student-athletes are given ample opportunity.” Stivers said the commitment to “permanent protections” for the students will be addressed early in the next legislative session. In the meantime, Kentucky lawmakers can monitor actions by the NCAA and other states before offering the legislation, McGarvey and Wise said. “That gives us some time to have some really good communication with a lot of the different shareholders that are out there,” Wise said at the news conference. The NCAA had hoped for a national law from Congress that has not come, and its own rulemaking has been bogged down for months. Meanwhile, ripple effects from allowing college athletes to monetize their name, image and likeness will reach far beyond football and men’s basketball, McGarvey and Wise said. It could have a big effect in women’s college See BILL | 9 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, July 1 Baseball* Meigs Post 39 vs. Greenville, 2:30 Meigs Post 39 vs. Lancaster Post 11, 5 p.m. Friday, July 2 Baseball* Meigs Post 39 vs. Utica, noon * — Games played at Lancaster Beavers Field Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Wahama sophomore Mikie Lieving (2) delivers a pitch during the Class A state championship softball game against Ritchie County on Wednesday, June 23, at Craft Field in South Charleston, W.Va.

(AP) — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman cast doubt Monday on whether the league will send its players to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing safety and logistical concerns as well as a tightening time frame. “We have real concerns about whether or not it’s sensible to be participating,” Bettman said during his annual pre-Stanley Cup Final session with the media. “We’re already past the time that we hoped this would be resolved,” he added, in noting the league still intends to release its schedule for next season — with or without an Olympic break — before holding the draft on July 23. “We’ll deal with it, just as we’ve managed to be agile and flexible over the last 15 months. But we’re getting to be on a rather short time frame now because this can’t go on indefinitely.” Bettman said one of the only reasons the NHL is still in discussions with Olympic officials is because the league made a commitment to make every effort to participate in the 2022 Games as part of extending its collective bargaining agreement with the NHL Players’ Association last summer.

The University of Kentucky won a national championship in women’s volleyball NEW YORK (AP) — Maya Moore will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at The ESPYS for her work on criminal justice reform. The four-time WNBA champion will receive the honor from “Good Morning America’s” Robin Roberts on July 10 in New York. It’s the same day that the late tennis champion would have turned 78. Moore stepped away from her basketball career in 2019 to seek justice for Jonathan Irons, who was serving a 50-year prison sentence after being wrongly convicted of burglary and assault. Irons’ conviction was overturned last year and he was freed. The couple later married. Moore formed a “Win With Justice” campaign to educate the public on the power of prosecutors and organize for Irons’ freedom. Moore has won two Olympic gold medals and been the WNBA’s MVP and a three-time MVP at the league’s All-Star Game. She is the subject of the film “Breakaway,” which will debut July 13 on ESPN and re-air Aug. 8 on ABC. The Ashe Award is given to individuals whose contributions transcend sports. Among the previous honorees are Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King and Pat Summitt. this past spring, and the University of Louisville women’s basketball team has become a perennial powerhouse. But compensation opportunities also could reach women competing in such sports as swimming and gymnastics. ȏ�$SSHQGHFWRP\ ȏ�%UHDVW�6XUJHU\�� ��� VWHUHRWDFWLF�ELRSV\��EUHDVW�� ���FRQVHUYLQJ�VXUJHU\��VHQWLQHO�� ���O\PSK�QRGH�ELRSV\ ȏ�*DOOEODGGHU�6XUJHU\ ȏ�&KURQLF�:RXQG�&DUH ȏ�&RORQ�6XUJHU\ ȏ�&RORQRVFRS\�DQG�(*' ȏ�3RUW�3ODFHPHQW ȏ�6NLQ�/HVLRQV��$EVFHVVHV�DQG�� ���&\VW�5HPRYDOV ȏ�6RIW�7LVVXH�0DVVHV Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

Previous issues that led to the NHL balking at competing were health insurance and travel costs, as well as access to marketing rights. The NHL also expressed concern over the benefit of shutting down its regular season for two weeks when the Olympics are held in Asia. Games are played in the early morning hours in North America because of the time difference. International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel told The Associated Press he hoped a resolution can be reached with the NHL and its players to compete in Beijing. He said the NHL currently has two schedules in place for next season, one featuring an Olympic break and another one not. “Things are going back and forth, but no stress. We’ll see,” Fasel said by phone. “I cannot speak for the NHL and I just hope they will say they will come. That’s it.” then putting the best five we’ve got out there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! OH-70241868 nine more men are suing Ohio State University over its failure to stop sexual abuse decades ago by team doctor Richard Strauss, who died in 2005. One plaintiff in the federal lawsuit filed Monday alleges Strauss abused him during more than 10 medical exams in the 1980s, starting when he was a 16-year-old high school wrestler whose team competed on the Ohio State campus. He said he was also later abused by Strauss during required medical exams while playing football and wrestling for OSU. A different wrestler in the lawsuit alleges Strauss fondled him during more than 50 medical visits. More than 400 alumni have raised similar allegations in lawsuits against the university, alleging abuse throughout the doctor’s two decades at OSU. A law firm investigation conducted for Ohio State concluded employees were aware of concerns about Strauss as early as 1979 but didn’t stop him. OSU has apologized publicly to anyone Strauss harmed. It has reached nearly $47 million in settlements for 185 plaintiffs, and announced an individual settlement program that could help resolve more claims from five of the remaining lawsuits. That program isn’t open to plaintiffs in the lawsuits Wednesday, June 30, 2021 9 Nellie Ruby Taylor contributing columnist �NEWS 10 Wednesday, June 30, 2021 Daily Sentinel Suicidal crises, mental fatigue: Kids grapple with reentry By Lindsey Tanner shift again.’’ AP Medical Writer At some children’s hospitals, psychiatric cases have remained high throughout the pandemic; After two suicidal crises during pandemic isolation, 16-year- others have seen a more recent old Zach Sampson feels stronger surge.

At Children’s Hospital Colorado, emergency department visits for behavioral health problems were up 90% in April 2021 over April 2019 and remained high in May. Though the pace slowed in June, hospital authorities are concerned about another spike when school resumes. Williams said issues the hospital is treating are “across the board,’’ from children with previous mental health issues that have worsened to those who never struggled before the pandemic. Like many states, Colorado doesn’t have enough child and teen mental health therapists to meet demand, an issue even before the pandemic, Williams said. Children who need outpatient treatment are finding it takes six to nine months for an appointment. And many therapists don’t accept health insurance, leaving struggling families with few options. Delays in treatment can lead to crises that land kids in the ER. Those who improve after inpatient psychiatric care but aren’t well enough to go home are being sent out of state because there aren’t enough facilities in Colorado, Williams said. Sampson says “just a lot of stuff’’ triggered his first crisis last August. The Jacksonville, Florida, teen struggled with online education and spent hours in his room alone playing video games and scrolling the internet, drawn to dark sites that “made my brain hurt.’’ He revealed his suicidal thoughts to a friend, who called the police. He spent a week in the hospital under psychiatric care. Both his parents have worked in mental health jobs but had no idea how he was struggling. “We had realized he had been spending more time isolating, not really tending to showering and that type of stuff, but we were in the middle of a pandemic. No one was really doing those things,’’ said his mother, Jennifer Sampson. Bill From page 1 The teen started virtual psychotherapy but in March his self-destructive thoughts resurfaced. Hospital psychiatric beds were full so he waited a week in a holding area to receive treatment, his mother recalled. Now on mood stabilizers, he’s continuing therapist visits, has finished sophomore year and is looking forward to returning to in-person school this fall. Still, he says it’s hard motivating himself to leave the house to go to the gym or hang out with friends. “I definitely find my social skills are rusty,’’ Sampson said. “I feel that this is going to be something that we’re dealing with for quite a while,’’ his mother said. That’s likely true, too, for those who haven’t reached a crisis point. Bhatia, a 17-year-old selfdescribed “stereotypical introvert’’ with clinical anxiety, also worries about returning to the classroom for senior year. The Oakland, California, teen says the pandemic began as almost a welcome change. Being social takes effort, and isolation allowed her to recharge. Still, she had bouts of depression, got frustrated with virtual school and missed her friends. She used to be a hugger but has become “a bit more of a germaphobe” and says the few times she’s been hugged since social distancing restrictions lifted, she froze. The pandemic has left her worn down, “like running a marathon, and I’m finally reaching the end and I’m just getting so tired at this point.’’ “I think I don’t have the energy for happiness,’’ she said. For 18-year-old Shipp, also of Oakland, the pandemic hit in her senior year as she was planning a trip to Europe and anticipating college in the fall. Neither happened and she described 2020 as a year of negative thinking, stuck in her room alone with her thoughts. “I felt depressed and anxious and very scared for the future,’’ she said. what they earn. This is a budget that will make a difference.” Locally, the budget bill, House Bill 110, includes $2 million for the Bailey’s Bike Trail project. It also includes $10 million for the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio and $2.5 million for the Appalachian Children’s Coalition. According to the news release, Edwards also noted additional investment in the Rural Industrial Park Program, which will receive $30 million over the next two years. Edwards helped reinstate funding for the program two years ago after it went without state support for several years. The East Meigs Industrial Park is among those who have benefited from the program. Other highlights of the budget include: Fair School Funding Plan – The new state budget includes the Fair School Funding Plan, the result of three years of work between educators and policymakers; Tax Relief – The budget includes a 3 percent across the board personal income tax cut. It reduces the number of tax brackets from five to four, and eliminates the income tax for anyone making less than $25,000 per year; Broadband – The new state budget also makes a major investment in broadband, providing $250 million to support broadband expansion; Higher Education – The budget makes major investments in higher education, including nearly $220 million for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant over the next two years. The grant is the largest need-based financial aid program for higher education. The state budget plan also supports several initiatives at Ohio University, such as the Voinovich School and the Rural University Program. The budget bill now heads to Governor Mike DeWine for his review. It must be in place by June 30.
