Hours after FBI agents raided Speaker Larry Householder’s farm, U.S. Attorney David DeVillers described the ploy as “likely the largest bribery scheme ever perpetrated against the state of Ohio.” Gov. Mike DeWine, also a Republican, called on Householder to resign immediately, saying it would be impossible for him to be an effective legislative leader given the charges against him. Householder was one of the driving forces behind the nuclear plants’ financial rescue, which added a new fee to every electricity bill in the state and directed over $150 million a year through 2026 to the plants near Cleveland and Toledo. Also arrested were Householder adviser Jeffrey Longstreth, longtime Statehouse lobbyist Neil Clark, former Ohio Republican See HOUSEHOLDER | 3 Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Ohio Speaker of the House Larry Householder speaks during the 2019 Meigs County Republican Party Bean Dinner at Meigs High School.

Ohio Valley Publishing Walmart to close its stores on Thanksgiving Day NEW YORK (AP) — Walmart Inc. said that it will be closing its namesake stores and Sam’s Clubs on Thanksgiving Day this year, saying that it wants to have its employees spend time with their families during the coronavirus. The move, announced Tuesday, marks the first major indication of how COVID will affect Black Friday store shopping, which for almost a decade kicked off with big crowds on the turkey feast and expanded into Friday. However, given safety concerns, stores are rethinking their plans for the kickoff. Given Walmart’s clout as the nation’s largest retailer, other major retailers could follow its lead. Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette said earlier this month that the department store will be pivoting its Black Friday business more toward online and will likely be going “full force” with holiday marketing right after Halloween. It also will be staggering events to reduce customer traffic in the stores. Walmart also said Tuesday that it will be giving out another round of bonuses for workers on the front lines of the coronavirus. The company said that it will be doling out $300 for full-time hourly workers and $150 for part-time hourly and temporary workers. Drivers, managers and assistant managers in stores, clubs, distribution centers and fulfillment centers and health and wellness will also receive a bonus. It will add up to approximately $428 million, Walmart said. The bonuses will be included in Aug. 20 paychecks for eligible workers employed as of July 31. “Our associates have been working at an incredible pace, they’ve solved problems, and they’ve set an amazing example for others,” said John Furner, president and CEO of Walmart U.S., in a corporate blog post. “To further appreciate their incredible work, we are pleased to share another special cash bonus this summer.” GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS Editor’s Note: The Daily Sentinel and Gallipolis Daily Tribune appreciate your input to the community calendar.

Previous attempts to bail out the nuclear plants had stalled in the Legislature before Householder became speaker. Months after taking over, he rolled out a new plan to subsidize the plants and eliminate renewable energy incentives. The proposal was approved a year ago despite opposition from many business leaders and the manufacturing industry. Generation Now, a group that investigators said was controlled by Householder and successfully fought an effort to put a repeal of the bailout law on Ohio’s ballot, was charged as a corporation in the case. A criminal complaint filed by the FBI says Generation Now received $60 million from an unidentified company over the past three years. In exchange, Householder and the other defendants worked to pass the nuclear plant bailout and block attempts to overturn it. Householder and the others used the money to preserve and expand his political power in Ohio, the complaint said. FirstEnergy Corp., whose former subsidiaries owned the plants, donated heavily to Householder’s campaigns and his backers in the Ohio House. The utility’s political action committee contributed $25,000 to Householder’s campaign in 2018, according to an analysis by Common Cause Ohio, a government watchdog. Householder flew to President Donald Trump’s inauguration on the company’s plane in 2016. Just months later, Householder began receiving quarterly payments of $250,000 from the unidentified company sent through Generation Now, the complaint said. The group then spent millions backing Ohio House candidates who would back Householder’s bid for speaker and support the bailout legislation. FirstEnergy Solutions, the subsidiary which has since changed its name to Energy Harbor and now operates the nuclear plants as an independent company, spent millions on lobbying and campaign contributions while trying to persuade federal and state officials to give the nuclear plants a lifeline. FBI agents were at Householder’s farm in Glenford on Tuesday morning in rural Perry County. FBI spokesman Todd Lindgren said only that they were carrying out “law enforcement activity.” The Perry County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that it was assisting. Attempts to reach Householder, Borges and Clark were unsuccessful. A message seeking comment was also left with the House communications office. The defendants appeared in court and were not required to enter a plea. The judge ordered Householder released on his own recognizance and directed him not to obtain a passport, Wednesday, July 22, 2020 3 to restrict his travel to the southern half of Ohio and not to contact any other defendants. The judge also ordered him to remove any guns from his home. Similar restrictions were imposed on Longstreth. The next hearing was tentatively set for Aug. 6.

(AP) — A train excursion that takes visitors to see fall foliage in southern West Virginia has been canceled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Autumn Colors Express takes passengers round trip from Charleston and Huntington to Hinton. Railexco is the charter company that operates the train. Company spokesman Lou Capwell told The Charleston Gazette-Mail that tickets for trips originally scheduled for Oct. 22 through 25 will carry over to trips in October 2021. “With state mandates being what they are, right now is not the greatest situation for anybody,” Capwell said Monday. “We’re saddened by the postponement of this great event, and can’t wait to get back on the rails as soon as possible.” A festival in Hinton that coincided with the train trips also has been canceled. Noah Berger | AP Hundreds of Black Lives Matter protesters hold their phones aloft on Monday in Portland, Ore. Federal officers’ actions at protests in Oregon’s largest city, hailed by President Donald Trump but done without local consent, are raising the prospect of a constitutional crisis — one that could escalate as weeks of demonstrations find renewed focus in clashes with camouflaged, unidentified agents outside Portland’s U.S. courthouse. Federal presence in Portland gives protests new momentum By Gillian Flaccus Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Mardy Widman has watched protests against racial injustice unfold in her hometown of Portland, Oregon, for more than seven weeks but stayed away because, at age 79, she feared contracting the coronavirus. But that calculus changed for Widman when President Donald Trump sent federal law enforcement agents to the liberal city to quell violent demonstrations — a tactic he’s said he’ll use for other cities as well. On Monday, a masked Widman was in the street with more than 1,000 other Portlanders — a far larger crowd than the city had seen in recent days, as it entered its eighth week of nightly protests. “It’s like a dictatorship,” Widman, a grandmother of five, said, holding up a sign that read: “Grammy says: Please feds, leave Portland.” “I mean, that he can pick on our city mostly because of the way we vote and make an example of it for his base is very frightening,” she said. Far from tamping down the unrest, the presence of federal agents on the streets of Portland — and particularly allegations they have whisked people away in unmarked cars without probable cause — has given new momentum and a renewed, laser-sharp focus to protests that had begun to devolve into smaller, chaotic crowds. The use of federal agents against the will of local officials has also set up the potential for a constitutional crisis — and one that could escalate if Trump sends federal agents elsewhere, as he says he plans to do. Federal forces were deployed to Portland in early July, and tensions have grown since then: first, on July 11, when a protester was hospitalized with critical injuries after a U.S. Marshals Service officer struck him in the head with a round of what’s known as less-lethal ammunition. Then, anger flared again over the weekend after video surfaced of a federal agent hitting a U.S. Navy veteran repeatedly with a baton while another agent sprays him in the face with pepper spray. Crowds had recently numbered fewer than 100 people but swelled to more than 1,000 over the weekend — and they are once again attracting a broader base in a city that’s increasingly unified and outraged. Federal agents again used force to scatter protesters early Tuesday and deployed tear gas and rubber bullets as some in the crowd banged on the doors of the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse and attempted to pull plywood off the shuttered entryway. The Portland Police Bureau said in a statement that some protesters lit fires in the street and tried several times to light fires at the courthouse doors. “It is time for the Trump troops to go home and focus their attention on other activities,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, a Democrat, said on MSNBC. Larry Cosme, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, said the federal agents were necessary because local forces have “refused to restore order to the city or cooperate with federal law enforcement attempting to protect federal property, personnel, and regain control.” Ohio Valley Publishing Rich Americans spew more carbon pollution BY Seth Borenstein policy professor David Victor, who wasn’t part of the study. “I think it raises fundamental justice questions in a society that has huge Rich Americans produce nearly 25% more heat-trapping gases than income inequality.” Even though richer Americans poorer people at home, according produce more heat-trapping gases, to a comprehensive study of U.S. “the poor are more exposed to the residential carbon footprints. dangers of the climate crisis, like Scientists studied 93 million heat waves, more likely to have housing units in the nation to chronic medical problems that analyze how much greenhouse gases are being spewed in different make them more at risk to be hospitalized or die once exposed to locations and by income, accordheat, and often lack the resources ing to a study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National to protect themselves or access health care,” said Dr. Renee Salas, Academy of Sciences.

The study’s 25 cleanest zip codes for residential greenhouse gas emissions are all in California and New York. The cleanest was Mission Bay in San Francisco, a white collar area with relatively new housing stock, where the average person produces only 1,320 pounds a year. The zip codes that produced the most gas are scattered across Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Louisiana, Wyoming, Maryland, West Virginia, Minnesota, Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas, Indiana and Utah. The zip code that produced the most greenhouse gas per person was in the mountains of western Boulder County, Colorado, where the 23,811 pounds per person is 18 times higher than in the San Francisco zip code. Because some zip codes didn’t have adequate data, Goldstein said there may be additional zip codes at the extremes of the emissions spectrum. Also, he said some zip codes with smaller, expensive, energy-efficient apartments buck the national trend of greater emissions in wealthy areas. Wesleyan University climate economist Gary Yohe, who wasn’t part of the study, said Goldstein’s analysis helps the search for solutions to global warming by offering “two new targets for policy action or behavioral modification beyond the usual list: floor space and density.” But residential carbon emissions are harder to change than those from transportation, where you can trade a gas-guzzler for a cleaner electric vehicle, Goldstein said. Noting that many residents are stuck with the fossil fuel-based energy delivered by their local utility, he said, “I don’t think we can solve this based on personal choices. We need large scale structural transitions of our energy infrastructure.” Virus concerns nudge some teachers toward exits COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — As pressure mounts for teachers to return to their classrooms this fall, concerns about health risks from the coronavirus are pushing many toward alternatives, including career changes, as others mobilize to delay school reopenings in hardhit areas. Among those opting for early retirement is Liza McArdle, a 50-year-old high school language instructor in New Boston, Michigan. She considered the health risks and the looming instructional challenges — trying to teach French and Spanish with a mask obstructing her enunciation, or perhaps a return to virtual learning — and decided it was time to go. “We’re always expected to give, give, give. You’re a teacher. You have to be there for the kids,” McArdle said. “And now it’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, now you have to put your life on the line for the kids because they need to be in school.’” Teachers unions have begun pushing back on what they see as unnecessarily aggressive timetables for reopening. The largest unions say the timing should be guided by whether districts have the ability — and funding — to implement protocols and precautions to protect students and teachers, even if that means balking at calls from President Donald Trump to resume in-person instruction. On Monday, a teachers union filed a lawsuit to block the reopening of schools in Florida, where state officials have ordered school districts to reopen campuses as an option unless local health officials deem that to be unsafe. Educators in several cities have called for the school year to start with remote instruction. Some have joined demonstrations in Arizona, where three teachers sharing a classroom during summer school tested positive for the virus and one died. “The conversation is being driven by what they want to do for the economy,” said Regina Fuentes, a high school English instructor in Columbus, Ohio, who is entering her 22nd year of teaching. “Teachers and students shouldn’t have to go back to school just to save the economy.” American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said her union is focused on advocating for safety in reopening schools, though she isn’t ruling out the possibility of strikes. “When I say that nothing’s off the table, it means that nothing is off the table in our focus and our push to make this safe,” she said. A recent analysis from the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation estimated nearly one-quarter of the nation’s teachers — nearly 1.5 million — are considered higherrisk for serious illness from the coronavirus because of other health conditions or age. In a Michigan Education Association survey last month of 15,000plus educators, 23% indicated they were considering retiring early or leaving the profession because of COVID-19, and 7% said they were actually doing so, according to the union. Not all educators are concerned. Karen Toenges said she is eager to resume face-to-face lessons with her elementary students in Orlando, Florida, and she disagrees with those contending it isn’t safe. Even as cases spiked in the state, Toenges, 60, she said she hasn’t been wearing a mask and isn’t worried about getting COVID-19. “It really has become a political issue, which really bothers me,” Toenges said. “But, you know, I’m a very small voice in a very large COVID From page 1 new cases were down, deaths, hospitalizations and ICU admissions were above the 21-day average. A total of 30 new deaths (21-day average of 17) were reported, bringing the total to 3,219. There were 126 sea. And so I just go about doing my stuff, getting myself ready, preparing curriculum.” But school reopening plans could be complicated by any widespread departures of those who are worried about the virus, or who are not eager to return for more distance learning. Mary Morris, for one, will not be back this fall at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, a Catholic school in Toledo, Ohio, for her 30th year of teaching. Even after a temporary switch to remote learning left her in tears this spring, she had initially signed on for another year. Then she tried to start planning for kindergarten lessons under virus precautions. Keep kids separated. Don’t share toys. Constantly sanitize all the magnetic letters and the little cubes for counting. It didn’t add up for her. “Everything that I believe in, I can’t do,” Morris said. “It’s all going to be paper and pencil. And that’s when I sat down and I thought, ‘What am I doing?’” Other teachers feel they have little choice but to return. Retiring now isn’t financially feasible for science teacher Deb Waddell, 61, who misses her students but worries because she and her immediate family have health conditions that make them higher risk. She’s hoping to get a virtual teaching role for her rural district in Columbia, Kentucky. In case not, Waddell said she has spent part of her summer working out adjustments to her classroom routines. She got masks and backup masks, but isn’t thrilled to imagine wearing one all day in a room where the ventilation system is, she figures, older than her. She also ordered goggles to help her avoid touching her eyes, which dry out because of an autoimmune disease. new hospital admissions (21-day average of 90) and 23 new ICU admissions (21-day average of 18). In West Virginia, as of the 5 p.m. update on Monday, DHHR reported a total of 5,199 cases and 101 deaths. These numbers show 57 new cases and one new death since Monday at 5 p.m. (Editor’s Note: Statistics reported in this article are tentative and subject to change.) © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved. �Sports Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, July 22, 2020 5 When is a slump worse than a slump? By Howard Fendrich Associated Press Just as sure as someone could take advantage of this year’s pandemic-truncated, 60-game Major League Baseball schedule to hit .400, there are bound to be players who end up with much worse stats than they’d like. After all, it’s harder for a batter to make up for a bad week or a pitcher to mask a rough inning when there are only about two months to play instead of six. And that could be troublesome in 2020, particularly for those who can become free agents next offseason. “It definitely is going to go through people’s heads. It’s going to affect some guys. In a regular season, 162 games, you’re going to have hot streaks, you’re going to have extra-cold streaks, and in the end, it’s all going to balance out,” said catcher Kurt Suzuki, whose World Series champion Washington Nationals host the New York Yankees in an opener Thursday. “Now? … You could go for a slump for, what, 20 games, and then you only have 40 to pull yourself together.” Think of it this way: In a typical season, a full-time position player might get about 500 at-bats, so he would need 150 hits for a .300 average. Add a 0-for-15 stretch — that batter is now 150 for 515 — and the average drops to .291. A loose comparison: Someone with 180 at-bats in 2020 would need 54 hits for a .300 average. Tack on a 0-for-15 patch — that batter becomes 54 for 195 — and a .300 hitter transforms into a .277 hitter. “You’re going to see really good players that have really bad years. It’s going to happen, not only position playerwise, but pitcher-wise,” said Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, the 2018 NL MVP. “You don’t have that large sample size for everything to even out, so if you get off to a tough start or a bad start, you’re really behind the eight ball.” For pitchers, bounces could be more dramatic. If a pitcher with a 3.75 ERA over 60 innings were to add one five-run inning, that ERA balloons to 4.43. Texas Rangers manager Chris Woodward spoke to his relievers about just that very thing. “They have one bad outing in the beginning of the year and they feel like their year is over — and that’s in a 162game setting. … If they give up four or five — you know, it could be three jam-shot hits, a weak ground ball, and they’ve given up five runs. You know, they feel like it takes them two months to get those stats back to where they want to,” Woodward said. “So in this setting, in 60 games, they’re going to almost feel the same way but almost worse.” In all seasons, players talk about not wanting to try too hard to get out of a rut, because that makes the task harder. With poor performances carrying extra weight, the mental strain could increase. Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly hopes the shortened season has the opposite effect. His thinking: With so few games, every club can feel as if it is in contention for the postseason, and that will dominate players’ minds. “Guys that can really hit, they know it, and they don’t panic. Guys who have never really hit, they may hit early, but usually if you have a couple of bad games, they panic and start making changes and things go bad. The same with pitching. And I think the pennant race changes that,” said Mattingly, a career .307 hitter as a player for the New York Yankees. “The fact everybody is in a pennant race, your stats become less important. You have a tendency to forget yourself and be more about the team.” Lakers’ LeBron James speaks out: ‘Nothing is normal in 2020’ LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — LeBron James keeps hearing the same questions. How’s it going? How’s the bubble? He now has a one-size-fits-all answer. “I just say it’s 2020,” James said. “Nothing is normal in 2020.” That’s not entirely true. The NBA is a few weeks from playoff mode, and James — just like normal — has himself and the Los Angeles Lakers squarely in the mix to compete for championship. It is a rare bit of normalcy for a player who appeared in eight consecutive NBA Finals from 2011 through and including 2018, and for a franchise that has won 16 championships. Everything else about this year has been most abnormal. A pandemic suspended play. David Stern, the NBA’s commissioner emeritus, died. Kobe Bryant, who was the third-leading scorer in NBA history until James passed him on Jan. 25, died in a helicopter crash the following day. And now James, the Lakers and 21 other teams are at Walt Disney World, separated from the rest of the world, trying to salvage a season and decide a champion. James took Bryant’s death — the Lakers’ star died along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others on the morning of Jan. 26 — particularly hard. “A day doesn’t go by when I don’t think about him,” James said. “A day doesn’t go by where our organization does not remember him and think about not only Kob, but Gigi, (his wife) Vanessa and their girls. They are a part of this family.” Lakers coach Frank Vogel has seen playoff-season James three times before — never liking how those experiences went. Vogel was coaching Indiana and his three best seasons there saw the Pacers matched up with James and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Heat in 6 in 2012. Heat in 7 in 2013. Heat in 6 in 2014. This time, Vogel is genuinely and understandably eager to see James at playoff time. “Obviously, it’s been great having LeBron on our side after years of going against him,” Vogel said. “But in particular, when we get to the playoff environment, I’ve just seen how he is this year in some of the bigger regular season games, how he’s more mentally locked in, more vocal, more making sure everybody else is locked in. And I anticipate that come playoff time, we’ll see that all being done at an enhanced level.” James will have a big say in whether the Lakers win that title. By the time the season resumes July 30, the ballots will be cast to determine whether he or Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo — the two frontrunners — wins the NBA MVP award. James is almost mathematically assured of winning his first assist title; he cannot be caught by second-place Trae Young of Atlanta no matter what happens at Disney. And the Lakers, barring all-out collapse, will be the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. By any measure, it’s been a good year on the court for James. A weird year, but a good year. Time will tell if it’s a great year. He believes the bubble will work and sees no reason yet why this NBA experiment would fail. And while he detests being away from his family and his inner circle, he’s using this chance to be locked in to focus on the opportunity. “As far as the MVP race, I think I’ve shown what I’m capable of doing, not only individually but from a team’s perspective, us being No. 1 in the West,” James said. “There was a lot of conversation about, you know, ‘LeBron can do those things in the East but if he ever came to the West, what can he do?’ I heard all of that, and to have our team at the top of the Western Conference and playing the way that we were playing at that time and the way I was playing, you know, that’s definitely a good feeling.” Ray Carlin | AP A NASCAR official checks drivers as the race was red flagged for more than 11 minutes due to an 11-car incident during a NASCAR Cup Series auto race Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Houff crash renews debate on standards CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Busch was hit with a wave of backlash when he griped about drivers who lack the experience to race at NASCAR’s top level. This was last fall, after the opening race of the playoffs at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, when Busch ran into the back of Garrett Smithley, who was 12 laps down. “We’re at the top echelon of motorsports, and we’ve got guys who have never won Late Model races running on the race track,” Busch fumed. “It’s pathetic. They don’t know where to go.” Busch’s point was lost in his delivery and he was quickly painted as an entitled champion driving for an elite team who just wanted a backmarker to get out of his way. Smithley and other lesser-known drivers from underfunded teams quickly defended their right to race in the Cup Series. Busch’s argument — that there should be standards to be among the top 40 NASCAR racers each week — was never actually addressed. And here we are again: Quin Houff, in his 35th career Cup start, made a late mistake Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway that not only scrambled the finish but altered the playoff picture. Houff tried to dive onto pit road but hit two other cars he did not see, bringing out a caution with 29 laps remaining in the race. Several contenders had pitted and dropped a lap off the pace because of the untimely caution. That paved the way for Richard Childress Racing to grab its first 1-2 finish since 2011 when Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick held off the rest of the field. Dillon now has a coveted spot in the 16-driver playoff field. Houff posted a video on social media explaining “we were trying to get to pit road and I didn’t get called off in time and the guys that were committed underneath me were already there, and that’s my fault. I had a spotter mirror there that we use in the window on the left side of the car, and it had fallen off so I couldn’t see out of that. So, rookie mistake.” The error highlights NASCAR’s loose approval process for drivers. The series does have standards – a driver must be 18 to compete full-time in one of the three national series but 16-year-olds can compete in Truck Series races on road courses and tracks 1.25 miles or less in length – but approval beyond that comes from NASCAR officials. James Davison, who has five career starts in the Indianapolis 500, was not approved to make his Cup debut at Talladega Superspeedway in June. He had never raced a stock car on an oval track and NASCAR delayed his debut a week until the series moved to Pocono Raceway. Houff, meanwhile, has a sparse NASCAR resume. He had five starts in ARCA and 10 in the Xfinity Series before earning a part-time Cup ride last season. The 22-year-old Virginian was parked for being too slow in his fourth Cup race and didn’t finish higher than 28th in 17 starts. He is full-time this season for StarCom Racing and was a career-best 23rd at Indianapolis but has yet to finish on the lead lap this season. Brad Keselowski, a former series champion who was not affected by Houff’s crash Sunday, noted it had the unintended consequence of creating a dramatic finish. “There’s the entertainment way to look at it and say that probably created a more entertaining finish,” Keselowski said. “So if you like chaos, then that was good.” The flip side, he said, was the expectation that drivers are racing against “peers of similar talent levels.” The incident, for example, came at the expense of Ryan Blaney, Keselowski’s teammate, who had led 150 laps only to find himself trapped a lap down because he’d pitted before Houff crashed. NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition Scott Miller said officials plan to speak with Houff before Thursday night’s race at Kansas Speedway. “Got to do better than that,” Miller said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. “Every decision that’s made out on the race track is an instantaneous, spur-of-the-moment decision, but I think that nobody could argue that wasn’t a poor one.” The pandemic has forced NASCAR into a frenzied return to racing in which events are held on one day without practice or qualifying. That lack of track time is hampering young drivers, perhaps Houff included. Keselowski has suggested a ladder system to develop drivers as they move up to Cup. NASCAR has no such system and, as long as a driver is approved to race by the sanctioning body, a car owner can make any sort of deal with anyone trying to compete in NASCAR. Some of the smaller teams fill their seats with drivers who bring sponsorship dollars, and not talent, to the organization, “I would like to see drivers be able to graduate into this level and equally I’d like to see them be able to be removed from this level when they have repeated issues,” Keselowski said. “I have seen in the past where drivers that have had this issue multiple times somehow are still here, where I think they should effectively be placed in a lower series or asked to go back to a more minorleague level to prove their salt.” �COMICS 6 Wednesday, July 22, 2020 BLONDIE Ohio Valley Publishing By Dean Young and John Marshall BEETLE BAILEY By Mort, Greg and Brian Walker Today’s answer CRANKSHAFT By Tom Batiuk HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI AND LOIS By Chris Browne Written By Brian & Greg Walker; Drawn By Chance Browne THE BRILLIANT MIND OF EDISON LEE By John Hambrock BABY BLUES ZITS By Jerry Scott & Rick Kirkman By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman PARDON MY PLANET By Vic Lee CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green %\�'DYH�*UHHQ � � RHYMES WITH ORANGE � � � � � � � � � � � By Hilary Price � � � � � � � � � � � � ���� 'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO By Bil and Jeff Keane ���� Offer valid March 16, 2020 - Sept 6, 2020 Special Financing Available Subject to Credit Approval *Terms & Conditions Apply � � � � � � � � � 7-Year Extended Warranty* A $695 Value! � � � � � � � � � FREE � � � � � � � � � 844-456-1461 � � � � � � � � � SCHEDULE YOUR FREE IN-HOME ASSESSMENT TODAY! � � � � � � � � � �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� Prepare for unexpected power outages with a Generac home standby generator � � � � � � � � � By Bunny Hoest & John Reiner DENNIS THE MENACE Today’s Solution THE FAMILY CIRCUS � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �'LIILFXOW\�/HYHO THE LOCKHORNS Hank Ketcham’s �����&RQFHSWLV�3X]]OHV��'LVW��E\�.LQJ�)HDWXUHV�6\QGLFDWH��,QF� � �CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN ANNOUNCEMENTS Notices (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN AUTOS RVs/Campers The following vehicle(s) will be available for public sale on Friday, July 24, 2020 at Dave's Supreme Auto Sales LLC, 1393 Jackson Pike Gallipolis, OH 45631, at 1:00 pm. 9,1� �*�=+��1��������� ���� 3RQWLDF *� &DPSHU )RU 6DOH ���� 3XPD 0RGHO 0��5/ ������ OLNH QHZ FDQ EH VHHQ E\ DSSRLQWPHQW RQO\ DW ��� /DULDW 'U *DOOLSROLV� 2K ������������ Help Wanted General (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF GALLIA COUNTY, OHIO Tammy L.

IN BRIEF Facebook’s voting labels on posts sow confusion Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, among others. The simple labels read “get official voting info” and direct people to a hub with information from authoritative election sources such as state and local officials. The intention, as Facebook laid it out in late June, was to provide links to unbiased information about when and how to vote on election-related posts. Instead, though, they’re being misinterpreted — in some cases as an endorsement of misleading or false claims. OAKLAND, Calif.
