Bailout tied to bribery scandal was years in making
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A
$1 billion bailout for Ohio’s two
nuclear plants that’s now entangled in a state bribery scandal had
little support when the idea came
up three years ago. It was all but
dead until the spring of last year,
when the new leader of the Ohio
House stepped up with a last-ditch
attempt to give the plants a ﬁnancial lifeline.
But that’s all on shaky ground
again after federal authorities
accused the powerful Republican
Ohio House speaker and four
associates of orchestrating a $60
million bribery scheme involving
corporate money secretly funneled
to them in exchange for passing
the bailout.
The question for state lawmak-

ers who are under pressure to
repeal the bailout is whether
they’re willing to face another
divisive debate — this time under
the shadow of scandal — in order
to ﬁnd a new way to prop up the
ﬁnancially strapped nuclear plants.
Here is a look at how the bailout came about and its prospects
going forward.
Dim outlook
Nuclear plants nationwide
were warning four years ago that
their aging reactors were in need
of ﬁnancial help, because they
couldn’t compete with cheaper
natural gas-ﬁred plants and subsidized renewable energy. It was no
different in Ohio.
FirstEnergy Corp., whose sub-

sidiary operated the Ohio plants
at the time, pressed state lawmakers in 2017 to approve surcharges
on electricity bills to generate
about $300 million annually for
its reactors. The utility’s CEO,
Chuck Jones, said it was needed to
protect jobs and the state’s largest
clean energy source, saying “this is
not a bailout for FirstEnergy.”
Republicans in the Legislature
blocked the proposal from moving
forward. Then-Gov. John Kasich
had no interest either, saying the
utility needed to ﬁgure out how to
keep its nuclear plants operating
without the state’s aid.
With little hope in sight, FirstEnergy Solutions, the nuclear

able to ﬁnd a local organization

and maintain the cemetery after

“I tried the best I could to ﬁnd

Johnson said he does not
recall seeing a headstone or
marker for Reese, though.
A record of the graves in the
cemetery was found at that
time, he said, and was eventually given to the Mercer County
Commission.
But Commissioner Bill Archer
said the records do not give
enough details to locate many
markers.
Beverly Walls of Logan, who
became acquainted with Johnson and had an interest in documenting cemeteries, also helped
with the cemetery clean-up and
took photos and recorded the

“I don’t recall the name,” she

But on ﬁndagrave.com there
is a photo of Reese with information about him that says he is
buried in Oak Grove.
Walls said the initials of the
person who submitted the information are RW, but she does
not know who that is. Also, the
photo was submitted by Jim
Reece (different spelling of last
name.).
Hoehn, who has over the
years collected more than 7,000
photos for the project, said she
would appreciate any help in
learning the location of a headstone or marker.
“I am hoping an organization
or community members could

said. “I would be so grateful.”

CHARLESTON,
W.Va. (AP) — West
Virginia officials have
rejected a proposal to
reduce the bag limit
for bucks, so it will
remain at three.
The decision by the
state Natural Resources Commission on Sunday came after more
than two years’ worth
of discussion, surveys
and delays on taking
action, the Charleston
Gazette-Mail reported.
The state’s buck
limit had stood at three
since 1995, but pressure from members
of two hunter groups
persuaded some commission members to
consider a reduction.
Natural Resources
Director Steve McDaniel said that out of
more than 1,100 public
comments, all but 72
favored the lower limit.
He said biologists
told him a lower limit
wouldn’t harm the
state’s whitetail population.
Commissioner Jeff
Bowers asked how
a lower limit would
affect the agency’s
revenue stream since it
relies largely on money
from hunting license
sales to pay for its
annual budget. McDaniel estimated revenue
loss at $800,000 over a
three-year span.
The motion to
reduce the buck limit

said Friday he can’t get
past that “the process

it.”

NEW YORK — A
New York City prosecutor ﬁghting to get President Donald Trump’s
tax returns told a judge
Monday he was justiﬁed in demanding them
because of public reports
of “extensive and protracted criminal conduct
at the Trump Organization.”

of the Republican president’s personal and corporate tax records, but
has disclosed little about
what prompted him to
request the records,
other than part of the
investigation related to
payoffs to two women to
keep them quiet about
alleged affairs with
Trump.
In a court ﬁling Monday, attorneys for Vance
said the president wasn’t
entitled to know the
exact nature of the grand

They noted, though,
that at the time the subpoena for the tax ﬁlings

has apologized for not listening earlier to players’ concerns about
social injustice.
The videos show four dogs attacking a man, who is wearing a
red Kaepernick football jersey over heavily padded gear as people
stand nearby watching. In a second video, the man is laying on
the ground when he’s approached by men wearing fatigues and

The videos were apparently posted on Instagram last year and

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The U.S. Navy is investigating an incident in which dogs attacked a “Colin Kaepernick
stand-in” during a K-9 demonstration during a 2019 fundraiser at
the Navy SEAL Museum in Florida.
The Navy said in a statement posted on Twitter that ofﬁcials
became aware of the video on Sunday.
Kaepernick is a former San Francisco 49ers quarterback who
began kneeling during the playing of “The Star Spangled Banner”
before games to protest social injustice and police brutality. He

President Donald Trump listens during a meeting Monday with U.S. tech workers before signing
an Executive Order on hiring American workers in the Cabinet Room of the White House in
Washington. A Manhattan prosecutor trying to get President Trump’s tax returns told a judge
Monday that he was justified in demanding them, citing public reports of “extensive and
protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization.” Trump’s lawyers last month said the
grand jury subpoena for the tax returns was issued in bad faith and amounted to harassment of
the president.

This possible criminal
activity occurred within
the applicable statutes
of limitations, particularly if the transactions
involved a continuing
pattern of conduct,” the
lawyers said.
Trump’s legal team has
argued that the subpoena
for his tax ﬁlings was
issued in bad faith and
amounted to harassment
of the president.
The Supreme Court
last month rejected
claims by Trump’s lawyers that the president
could not be criminally
investigated while he
was in ofﬁce.
Vance’s lawyers urged
U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero to swiftly
reject Trump’s further
arguments that the subpoenas were improper,
saying the baseless
claims were threatening
the investigation.
“Every day that goes
by is another day Plaintiff effectively achieves
the ‘temporary absolute
immunity’ that was
rejected by this Court,
the Court of Appeals,
and the Supreme Court,”
Vance’s lawyers said.
Marrero has scheduled arguments to be
fully submitted by midAugust.

Columbus shuts out Maple Leafs, 2-0
JEHEDJE��7F��Å�
Joonas Korpisalo stopped
28 shots in his ﬁrst playoff start, Cam Atkinson
scored early in the third
period and the Columbus
Blue Jackets beat the
Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0
on Sunday night in Game
1 of their best-of-ﬁve
qualifying round series.
Korpisalo, who got the
nod over rookie Elvis
Merzlikins, whom he battled during the short summer training camp, neutralized one of the NHL’s
highest scoring teams. He
got a lot of help from a
smothering Blue Jackets
defense, which blocked
18 shots and did not
allow a Toronto shot in
the last seven minutes of

the game.
“I’m pretty conﬁdent
from the get-go today, and
I think the boys played
really good in front of me,
battling for me to see the
puck,” said Korpisalo,
who learned on Saturday
that was getting start.
His biggest stop may
have been a spectacular
glove save of a wide-open
Auston Matthews shot
at the end of the second
period.
“Nothing we didn’t
expect,” defenseman
Seth Jones said. “Korpi
is a competitor, he’s a
hell of a goalie and he
made massive saves when
we needed them. Most
tonight kept us in it.
They had some chances

when it was 0-0, three or
four of them right from
the slot.”
After Korpisalo
matched Toronto veteran
goalie Frederik Andersen
through the ﬁrst two periods, Atkinson’s snap shot
from the top of the right
circle went under Andersen’s right arm 1:05 into
the third.
“The initial release
looked to be a little bit
higher, and I reacted up
and obviously I made a
mistake and it cost us a
goal and eventually the
game,” Andersen said.
Columbus coach John
Tortorella said it was a
timely one for Atkinson,
who missed time in February and March with an

ankle injury.
“For a goal-scorer that
has struggled a little bit
as we’ve gone through,
hopefully it will loosen
him up a little bit,” Tortorella said.
Alexander Wennberg
sealed the win with an
empty-netter with 19 seconds remaining.
Andersen had 34 saves
for the Maple Leafs.
“As far as I’m concerned, he did his job,”
Toronto coach Sheldon
Keefe said. “We have to
ﬁnd a way to help him.”
The teams opened
their series as part of
the league’s 24-team
relaunch to its pandemichalted 2019-20 season.
The game was played at

empty Scotiabank Arena
in the NHL’s return following a 142-day absence.
The Leafs are trying
to advance past the ﬁrst
round of the playoffs for
the ﬁrst time since 2004.
They are coming off
consecutive ﬁrst-round,
seven-game playoff losses
to the Boston Bruins.
“It’s what we expected,”
Toronto forward Zach
Hyman said. “I think it’s
good for us to be playing in these tight games
but we want to be on the
right side of it. We’ll learn
from this. We’re gonna
capitalize on our chances
and we’re going to come
back strong.”
The Leafs were eighth
in the Eastern Conference

at 36-25-9, while the Blue
Jackets were ninth with a
33-22-3 mark.
NOTES: Eighteen-yearold Nicholas Robertson
made his NHL debut for
Toronto. … Columbus
reached the playoffs for
a franchise-best fourth
straight season….The
Blue Jackets won their
ﬁrst playoff series ever
when they swept Tampa
Bay in the ﬁrst round
last year. … Columbus
played 11 rookies this
season, which was tied
for the second-most in
the NHL after San Jose
(12). … Toronto was
second in the NHL with
237 goals in the regular
season, but also allowed
the seventh-most at 222.

MLB looks to shorter
doubleheaders to ease
scheduling chaos
The Detroit Tigers
and Cincinnati Reds
were the ﬁrst teams to
try out baseball’s new
time-saving measure
— a doubleheader with
seven-inning games.
They ended up having a long day anyway
after the opener was
delayed over two hours
because of rain.
It’s been that kind of
season so far for Major
League Baseball. Last
month, the New York
Yankees and Washington Nationals opened
this abbreviated
schedule with a game
that was shortened
because of rain. That
set the tone for a chaotic couple of weeks in
which the coronavirus
has wreaked havoc
with the schedule —
and the weather hasn’t
always cooperated
either.
Already, there are
questions about whether teams can realistically play the 60 games
originally slated for
them — and how they
might try to come as
close as possible.
“We’re just going on
whatever they tell us
to do, and trying to
stay healthy here, and
play the games that
are put in front of us,”
Tigers manager Ron
Gardenhire said before
the ﬁrst of Sunday’s
two games.
By the end of the
night Sunday, 12 teams
had played 10 games,
but six had played
seven or fewer. The
Miami Marlins (2-1)
made it through just
three before a virus
outbreak sidelined
j^[c$�J^[�F^_bWZ[bf^_W�
F^_bb_[i��'#(��fbWo[Z�
those three games
against the Marlins
and were shut down
as well. The St. Louis
Cardinals (2-3) have
had positive tests,
and their series with
Milwaukee (3-3) was
called off.
The shortened
doubleheaders are one
way to make up games,
but Commissioner Rob
Manfred said long days
at the ballpark are a
concern because of the
virus. Making doubleheader games seven
innings long can help,
at least in theory.
But the Tigers and
Reds were supposed

to start at 12:10 p.m.
on Sunday, and that
was pushed back
because of the bad
weather. Then the ﬁrst
game nearly went into
“extra” innings. It was
tied in the top of the
seventh before Cincinnati scored and won
4-3.
The Reds won the
second game 4-0.
“It’s deﬁnitely different,” Gardenhire
said. “You can use your
bullpen a lot different,
earlier in the game
and try to get through
that part. We had, you
know, opener in both
games, so we had to
use a lot of pen guys.”
A shorter game can
take less of a toll on a
team’s bullpen, and it
also presents a chance
for a dominant starter
to shine.
“Sounds obvious, but
everything happens
faster. It’s almost like
one good way to look
at it is the ﬁrst inning
becomes the third
inning,” Reds manager
David Bell said before
Sunday’s games. “I
remember in the minor
leagues seeing a lot of
pitching gems in the
seven-inning games, so
I think it’s an opportunity for starting pitchers — to really from
pitch one, you can
see the end a little bit
quicker.”
Sure enough,
Cincinnati’s Trevor
Bauer threw a two-hit
shutout in the second
game against Detroit.
But that effort took 2
hours, 36 minutes, and
the opener was played
in 2:25. That would
feel short if it were a
nine-inning game, but
it wasn’t like the Reds
and Tigers just breezed
through the day.
The Tigers have
another doubleheader
scheduled for Wednesday against St. Louis
— if the Cardinals can
play.
There was a time
when doubleheaders
were a constant presence in the majors.
The Boston Braves
played a record 46 of
them in 1945, according to SportRadar. But
last year, there were
only 33 doubleheaders total, and the New
York Yankees led the
way with seven.

OHSAA practices officially started Saturday
By Tim Stried
For Ohio Valley Publishing

The Ohio High School
Athletic Association
Board of Directors reafﬁrmed their position on
Friday, July 31, that the
2020 OHSAA fall sports
seasons will go forward
as planned.
That means low/noncontact sports and contact sports were permitted to begin ofﬁcial practices on Saturday, Aug.
1, as had been previously
announced. Additional
details on the fall sports
seasons are below.
“It is important to
keep athletic activity moving forward,”
said Dan Lefﬁngwell,
president of the OHSAA
Board of Directors and
superintendent of the
Noble Local Schools in
Sarahsville. “And with
that, we believe our
member schools provide
our student-athletes
with the safest possible
environment to return to
play and that our school
programs are the best
avenue to help students
learn lifelong lessons and
provide social, emotional
and physical beneﬁts that
other programs cannot.
Moving forward allows
those students to continue to be engaged with
their school coaches and
teammates. Membership
data also supports this
decision.
“If we were to delay,
our students will ﬁnd
opportunities to com-

pete in sports through
non-school programs
that may not be focused
on safety and are not
education-based,” Lefﬁngwell said. “Should data
on COVID-19 change
and/or the Governor’s
Ofﬁce makes changes to
our plan, we have ﬂexibility that would allow
us to look at implementing other models for our
seasons.”

Black women seize political spotlight
MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) —
The little girl ran up to her,
wide-eyed and giddy.
“Are you Charisse Davis?”
the fourth grader asked.
Davis was stunned. A former
kindergarten teacher and librarian, she was more accustomed
to shuttling her two sons to
basketball practice than being
seen as a local celebrity. But
she had been elected the only
Black woman on the Cobb
County School Board, gaining
ofﬁce in a once conservative
suburban community where
people who look like her rarely
held positions of power.
Something had changed in
this place, and something had
changed in her.

“I love your hair — your hair
looks like my hair,” the girl
squealed, calling friends over.
It was a moment both innocent and revealing: Not just a
child seeing herself in an elected leader, but also a reﬂection
of the rapidly building power
of Black women. It’s a momentous change that could make
history on a national ticket and
determine the outcome of the
presidential race.
Black women have long been
the heart of the Democratic
Party — among the party’s
most reliable and loyal voters
— but for decades that allegiance didn’t translate to their
own political rise. There have
been zero Black female gover-

nors, just two senators, several
dozen congresswomen. And
the people representing them
instead have not met their
needs: Disparities, sometimes
deadly ones, persist in health
care, policing, education and
economics.
Now Black women are mobilized and demanding an overdue return on their investment.
Over the last several years and
across America, Black women
ran and won elections in historic numbers, from Congress
to county school boards.
Just two years ago, ﬁve Black
women were elected to Congress, four of them in majoritywhite districts, according to
the Higher Heights Black

Women in American Politics
2019 survey.
Now Joe Biden has pledged
to pick a woman as his running
mate, and at least six of the
contenders are Black — including California Rep. Karen Bass,
who said, “I think what we’re
looking for is representation,
acknowledgement, inclusion.”
This transformation is taking
place in once unlikely places,
suburban counties in the South.
Places like Cobb, a rambling
expanse of strip malls and subdivisions just north of Atlanta
that doubled in population midway through the last century
as white people ﬂed the city.
Then, slowly, families of color
followed, also seeking bigger

yards and better schools.
The year Charisse Davis
was born, 1980, Cobb County
was 4.5% African American.
Now it’s more than 27% Black
and 13% Hispanic. Its politics
caught up with its demographics: In 2016 Hillary Clinton was
the ﬁrst Democratic presidential candidate to eke out a win
in Cobb County since Jimmy
Carter, a Georgian, in 1976.
President Donald Trump’s
presidency, which has fueled
racial divisions and appealed
to white grievance, unleashed
for some here an overwhelming
urgency. Black women added
their names to down-ticket
ballots; they are canvassing,
knocking on doors.
