Anderson explained the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has finished putting up the construction work limits for the work they will be doing for the parking lot / riverbank project. He said the village can begin real estate work such as easements and acquisitions once the Corps gives them a letter giving them the go ahead. Anderson explained the Corps must state their approval for reimbursement purposes. Attorney Adam Salisbury will then work on a contract for the project which is due by the end of September. Anderson said he and Salisbury will be meeting with the landowners as well. Mitch Altier updated the council members on the storm water project. Altier said almost all of the storm sewer work is complete, but a gas line runs in the middle of one section of the storm sewer and needs taken care of by Columbia Gas, once that is complete, then final surface work can be done. In other business, Anderson reported renovations are going to be made to the warehouse on Mechanic Street, so one side of the building can be rented out for certain occasions and various purposes. The block side of the building will be used for village storage explained Anderson. The renovations will be approximately $10,000 and the amount is being referred to Village Administrator John Witherell. Baker informed council members it would be in village’s best interest to codify the remainder of village ordinances. She added as of Monday, May 21 the village had zero deficient in their funds. Mowing around the village was discussed and Baker reported summer workers from Meigs County Jobs and Family Services will be available once school lets out for summer vacation.

By Matthew Lee and Matthew Pennington Associated Press Evan Vucci | AP President Donald Trump yells to reporters as he boards Air Force One for a trip to New York to discuss immigration policy Wednesday at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. Seething over Russia probe, Trump tears into ‘spygate’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has branded his latest attempt to discredit the special counsel’s Russia investigation as “spygate,” part of a newly invigorated strategy embraced by his Republican colleagues to raise suspicions about the probe that has dogged his presidency almost since the start. Trump now is zeroing in on — and at times embellishing — reports that a longtime U.S. government informant approached members of his 2016 campaign during the presidential election in a possible bid to glean intelligence on Russian efforts to sway the election. Trump’s latest broadsides set the stage for an unusual decision by the White House to arrange access to classified documents for just two Republican House members, both Trump allies, in a briefing expected Thursday, as Trump and his supporters in Congress press for information on the outside informant. It remains unclear what, if any, spying was done. The White House has given no evidence to support Trump’s claim that that the Obama administration was trying to spy on his 2016 campaign for political reasons. It’s long been known that the FBI was looking into Russian meddling during the campaign and that part of that inquiry touched on the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian figures. Trump has told confidants in recent days that the revelation of an informant was potential evidence that the upper echelon of federal law enforcement has conspired against him, according to three people familiar with his recent conversations but not authorized to discuss them publicly. Trump told one ally this week that he wanted “to brand” the informant a “spy,” believing the more nefarious term would resonate more in the media and with the public. He went on to debut the term “Spygate” on Wednesday, despite its previous associations with a 2007 NFL scandal over videotaping coaches. Democrats say the briefing — held as special counsel Robert Mueller investigates Trump’s campaign and whether it was involved in Russian meddling in the U.S. election — is highly inappropriate and should be given to a bipartisan group of congressional leaders, as is customary. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi wrote to the Justice Department on Wednesday and said the GOP-only meeting is “completely improper in its proposed form and would set a damaging precedent for your institutions and the rule of law.” should be announced by June 29.

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday he’s “very hopeful” that a planned U.S.-North Korean summit will proceed but laid the fate of the historic meeting squarely with Kim Jong Un, who won’t be reassured by U.S. demands for “rapid denuclearization.” The decision about whether the June 12 meeting in Singapore between Kim and President Donald Trump happens is “ultimately up to Chairman Kim,” Pompeo told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Lawmakers’ questioning of Pompeo followed Trump’s comment Tuesday that “there’s a very substantial chance” the meeting would not proceed as scheduled. Trump told reporters Wednesday, “whatever it is, we will know next week about Singapore and if we go I think it will be a great thing for North Korea.” Amid the uncertainty, a White House team is headed to Singapore this weekend to work on logistics for the trip. White House spokesman Raj Shah said the effort would be led by Joe Hagin, deputy chief of staff for operations. Shah noted that an advance team goes out ahead of all scheduled presidential teams.

About 25,000 members of the Culinary Union who work at 34 different casino-resorts across the tourist destination cast ballots in two sessions Tuesday, showing the collective power of the largest labor organization in Nevada. The move hands union negotiators a huge bargaining chip as they work to solidify new fiveyear contracts. The union last voted for a strike in 2002 but reached a deal before employees walked out. The last strike, in 1984, spanned 67 days and cost the city and workers tens of millions of dollars.

THEIR VIEW When aging and gravity fight What do aging and gravity have in common? Together, they produce sagging skin (along with the sun, lifestyle, genetics, weight loss). Getting older means more exposure to the dreaded dermis droop. Saggy and baggy. Wrinkly and crinkly. “Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun… Why do you land on the ground when you jump up instead of floating off into space? Why do things fall down when you throw them or drop them? The answer is gravity: an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth’s gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall,” according to NASA Space Place. www.spaceplace.nasa.gov/. There you have it— gravity makes things fall. And aging does the rest. Let’s review basic skin anatomy and physiology. The skin is the largest organ of the human body; around 20 square feet with 300 million skin cells.

Let’s ponder these two questions. “As much as I loathe this aging thing, I’m beginning to recognize that I am now a healthier person in terms of selfworth and knowing who I am and where I fit in the world.

THEIR VIEW A Supreme Court ruling for Janus would be judicial activism at its worst Should courts have the power to impose wage cuts, shrink the economy and require private organizations to deliver costly services for free? Most people would probably say no. Yet this is what could happen when the U.S. Supreme Court issues its ruling in Janus v. AFSCME Council 31, expected sometime in June. At issue in Janus — a case that originated in Illinois — are state laws that require public sector workers represented by unions to share in the cost of collective bargaining over their wages, benefits and working conditions through the payment of what are called “fair share” fees. “Fair share” fees are not union dues and cannot be used for politics or lobbying. They are limited to the direct cost of negotiating and enforcing employment contracts. The legality of “fair share” cial lawmaking irreconlaws — which currently Robert cilable with conservative affect 5 million teachBruno principles that publicly ers, firefighters, nurses Contributing shame “judicial activand other public sector columnist ism.” workers in 23 states and But what could this the District of Columbia — was established by the court decision mean for 5 million affected workers, the economy more than four decades ago.

The change would be an extraordinary act of judi- related to public sector jobs disproportionately impact African-Americans, who are more likely to work in state and local government and more likely to be union members. The study concludes that if the court strikes down fee payer laws, the loss of bargaining power for 5 million affected public sector workers will translate to an average wage cut of about $1,800 per year. The corresponding loss of consumer spending could shrink the national economy by as much as $33 billion — and by more than $2 billion in Illinois alone. And union membership in affected states would drop by more than 725,000. But there are likely to be other effects. Labor unrest is chief among them. The school walkouts that have recently come to West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona and North Carolina — and the poor pay and working conditions that precipitated them — each occurred in states without collective bargaining laws for public sector employees permitting fee payer provisions. Ultimately, we don’t require lawyers, doctors, accountants or large corporations to provide services for free. We don’t forbid them from using the fees they do collect for political purposes. Yet when it comes to unions, the courts apply a very different standard. Janus could take this double standard to an entirely new level by effectively forcing wage cuts on 5 million workers and shrinking our nation’s economy.

NFL owners adopt new policy to address anthem protests ATLANTA (AP) — NFL owners approved a new policy Thursday aimed at addressing the firestorm over national anthem protests sparked by Colin Kaepernick and polarized by President Trump, permitting players to stay in the locker room during the “The Star-Spangled Banner” but requiring them to stand if they come to the field. Commissioner Roger Goodell said the change was approved unanimously by the owners at their spring meeting in Atlanta, but it was met with immediate skepticism by the players’ union. “We want people to be respectful of the national anthem. We want people to stand,” Goodell said. “That’s all personnel, and to make sure they treat this moment in a respectful fashion. That’s something that we think we owe. We’ve been very sensitive on making sure that we give players choices, but we do believe that moment is an important moment and one that we are going to focus on.” In a sign that players were not part of the discussions, any violations of the policy would result in fines against the team — not the players. The NFL Players Association said it will challenge any part of the new policy that violates the collective bargaining agreement. The owners spent several hours addressing the contentious issue — which has reached all the way to the White House. Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016, a quiet but powerful protest against police brutality and racial inequities in the justice system. Other players took up the cause, and the gesture carried on during the 2017 season even after Kaepernick left the 49ers and failed to land a job with another team. President Trump turned the anthem protests into a campaign issue , saying the NFL should fire any player who takes a knee during “The StarSpangled Banner.” The NFL hasn’t gone that far, but Kaepernick has yet to land another job and one of his former teammates and fellow protesters, safety Eric Reid, is also out of work. Both have filed collusion grievances against the NFL. While the owners touted the change as a compromise and noted it was approved unanimously, the players’ union made it clear it was not part of the discussions. “The NFL chose to not consult the union in the development of this new ‘policy,’” the NFLPA said in a statement. “NFL players have shown their patriotism through their social activism, their See ANTHEM | 8 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, May 24 Baseball Eastern vs Centerburg at Lancaster Beavers Field, 2 p.m. Track and Field D2 Regionals at Muskingum College, 5 p.m. Friday, May 25 Baseball EHS-CHS winner vs Toronto-Whiteoak winner at Lancaster Beavers Field, 5 p.m. Track and Field D3 Regionals at Fairfield Union HS, 5 p.m. Saturday, May 26 Track and Field D2 Regionals at Muskingum College, 11:30 CENTENARY, Ohio — A change in sports provide a transition to college. On May 16, 2018, in Gallia Academy High School, senior Cassidy Starnes signed her letter of intent to join the Shawnee State University cross country and track and field teams. “Luckily, I have a chance to run at the next level,” said Starnes. “I hadn’t ran track in over four years. I’ve been playing softball since I was three years old. Last year I had to have elbow surgery, so I lost my possible softball scholar- ships. I decided to go back to track to have something to do and fell in love with it.” Starnes, who has ran cross country since seventh grade, has been a member of the Gallia Academy softball program since her freshman year prior to injury, while also playing basketball her freshman year. “When I returned to track, my main event became the 1600-meter run,” said Starnes. “I set personal records my past three meets. I’ve been dropping my time all season. I feel like that’s showing Coach Eric Putnam at Shawnee State that I’m going to be on pace for my mile times in cross country this season.” When asked about what ultimately guided her to choose Shawnee State, Starnes recalled her visit to the campus and the welcoming atmosphere. “I loved the campus,” Starnes said. “I also really liked the dorms. What really made me like it the most was Coach Putnam and how he made me really feel welcome. While I was visiting, some of the other runners came in and were really nice and that was important to me. “I feel there will be a lot of chemistry on the team.

In 2001, Gallia Academy High School started up a boys soccer program at the varsity level — giving its student-athletes a chance to participate in the world’s most popular sport. The proverbial catch, however, was that the program served in a co-ed capacity, allowing both boys and girls to compete on the same team — against other schools that primarily used an all-boys roster. The Blue Devils have had their fair share of accomplishments during that 17-year span, with some significant contributions coming from the female members of those squads. Now, the ladies have a chance to make their own mark, their own history, and their own memories, as Gallia Academy will be ushering in a varsity girls soccer program at the start of the 2018-19 school year. The Blue Angels already have an official head coach in Leah Polcyn, who has served as the ninth-grade English teacher in the Gallipolis City Schools district over the last eight years. She has also served in a volunteer role with the current GAHS soccer program over the past few seasons. Polcyn — who competed as part of the Olympic development program during her playing career — is excited to be part of this historic endeavour at GAHS, mainly because of the potential that comes with promoting a sport dear to her heart while also providing an opportunity for these girls to shine. There’s a big first step coming, as Polcyn acknowledges, but she is humble to be in this position … and plans on making the most of this chance. “I definitely feel honored to be the first person to get to carry the proverbial torch and I’m hoping that we can help build a sustainable girls soccer program at Gallia Academy,” Polcyn said. “It seems that the interest has been there for some time, but we are thankful for the opportunity to have a varsity soccer pro- Courtesy photo Gallia Academy High School athletic director Adam Clark, left, joins GAHS girls varsity soccer coach Leah Polcyn for a photo as the Blue Angels open varsity soccer for the first time in school history during the 2018-19 school year. gram. There will be a lot of unknowns in the first year, but at least we’ll have the chance to learn as we go. That’s the part we are excited about.” Soccer has grown in interest over the last two decades, both nationally and locally. Gallia Academy has gradually grown from a varsity-only boys squad into a program that now has enough interest for both junior varsity and junior high teams. Those numbers, however, have also occurred in a boys’ division, which meant that the handful of girls competing were good enough to keep up with bigger, stronger, faster players of the opposite gender. Having some of those girls to work with in the first season will really be a big plus, but Polcyn is more focused in getting as many soccer-minded players out for the 2018 campaign … mainly because she believes that the best programs are the ones that come with depth. In the early stages of gauging interest, Polcyn believes that some of the girls that haven’t played in a few years might be skeptical of coming out for soccer again. But, as she notes, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve gone without playing the game. If you miss the game and like playing it, here is your chance to play on an even keel. “The biggest thing I’ve ran into so far is that we have girls that have been playing on the varsity, junior varsity and junior high teams, but there are also girls that played all the way through grade school and then couldn’t compete at the boys’ level well enough to stay involved in the game,” Polcyn said. “It will help that we have some experience coming into our first varsity season, but it also provides another chance for those girls coming out of sixth-grade to have somewhere to go in this game. “The positive is that any girl that enjoys playing the game of soccer will have the opportunity to compete at the varsity level, against other girls of equal strengths and abilities. We’ll get to compete in postseason tournaments against other girls. It’s a chance to do something special in soccer, and it all starts with building a foundation in the first year.” Athletic director Adam Clark is also pleased with the addition of girls soccer to the Gallia Academy varsity athletics family. As he says, it’s just another chance for the studentathletes to succeed under a very qualified teacher of the game. “We are very excited to add female soccer to Gallia Academy athletics. I feel this is something that has been needed for some time because of the schools we have been playing, only Rock Hill competed as a co-ed program. They have now added girls soccer as well,” Clark said. “I feel adding girls soccer will only have more students participating in athletics, which is our goal as a district. We are also very excited to have Coach See VARSITY | 7 �SPORTS/TV Daily Sentinel Roethlisberger will ‘try to help’ Rudolph adjust Harden scores 30, Rockets even series at 2 games apiece OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Chris Paul pounded the ball down demonstratively on Stephen Curry’s home court in sheer delight. And maybe he sent a little message: These Rockets are for real and very much remain in the championship chase. Houston handled the defending champions in their hostile, imposing home arena and sustained the latest second-half flurry by Curry, getting 30 points from James Harden and another 27 from Paul to even the Western Conference finals at two games apiece with a 95-92 victory Tuesday night. Curry scored 28 points and Kevin Durant added 27 points and 12 rebounds but the Warriors missed their final five shots from the floor and their NBA-record postseason winning streak at home ended at 16 games. The Rockets shook off a 41-point embarrassment in Game 3, a 12-0 deficit to start Tuesday and another big run by the Warriors in the third, then won it with defense down the stretch. “We’re a team. We’re really good as a team,” Harden said. Paul rebounded Klay Thompson’s miss just before the final buzzer sounded for the first time and celebrated in front of a stunned, yellow-clad home crowd. A replay review ensued and it was determined Shaun Livingston fouled Paul before the game ended, so Paul PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger insists he has no problem with the Pittsburgh Steelers drafting Mason Rudolph. That his comments during a radio appearance shortly after the Steelers took the former Oklahoma State star in the third round of the draft — when Roethlisberger openly wondered why the team drafted a quarterback when he plans to be around a good while longer — were made in jest. “I think people took some things into a context that I was going to be mean or rude,” Roethlisberger said on Tuesday as the AFC North champions began organized team activities. “That was not it at all.” As if to prove a point, Roethlisberger went out of his way to praise Rudolph when the two shared a field together. They didn’t exactly made a free throw with 0.5 seconds left. And he did it all playing on a tender foot. “A whole lot of treatment,” Paul said. “It’s as good as it’s going to be right now.” Curry couldn’t get off a final attempt before the buzzer. Game 5 is Thursday night at Houston. Golden State, which went a record 16-1 on the way to last year’s title, will play its longest playoff round after closing out its first two series in five games. “Now we’ve got to fight and really understand that this is a true playoff-type experience,” Curry said. Golden State got the ball with 1:27 to play down 94-91 and Thompson and Curry each missed contested 3-pointers. The Warriors got another chance with 42.5 seconds left following Houston’s shot-clock violation. Curry missed a driving layup and Draymond Green pulled down the offensive rebound and was fouled by Paul, but Green converted only one free throw. “I thought this is the highest level we’ve ever played defensively, without a doubt,” Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said, “because we’re talking about the best offensive team ever.” The Rockets went ahead 85-84 with 6:03 remaining on Trevor Ariza’s 3-pointer from the baseline after a beautiful bounce pass from the opposite corner by Paul.

I’ll continue to do that.” The Steelers raised some eyebrows when they traded up to select Rudolph with the 76th overall pick in the draft, the highest the organization has taken a quarterback since making Roethlisberger the 11th overall selection in 2004.

Patrick made inroads not with victories but with her mere presence in elite events. When she starts seventh Sunday at Indy, she will have gone full circle, with one last chance to replicate her only win at the top level of either series, in Japan in 2008. Patrick drove in one race this year, the Daytona 500, finishing 35th after getting into a wreck. Now comes Indy. “It is a great way to kind of honor where I have been, to be able to have one last go, to be able to thank the fans, to be there,” Patrick said. “There is a famous thing in racing called ‘The Double,’ when you do the Indy 500 and Coke 600 on the same day. My double is doing Daytona and the Indy 500 because I have been able to be lucky enough to race in both series full time. To finish up where it all started 13 years ago, lucky No. 13, is really cool.” NEW YORK (AP) — When Danica Patrick drives her final race in the Indy 500 on Sunday, she’ll certainly be the only competitor with a Lego statue in her image. While that won’t help her win IndyCar’s biggest race, it does speak to Patrick’s popularity. Maybe she wasn’t a rousing success behind the wheel in open wheels or NASCAR, but she has made an impact that reaches far beyond the ovals and road courses she raced. “I think that it is a really unique and cool memory to have. Does anyone else have a Lego portrait, and full life-size?” she said Tuesday in Times Square when the statue, in full race suit, was revealed. “I feel like I have been so fortunate in my career, so many great fans, great sponsors, so many opportunities, so many great successes. When you are reminded of that in a way like when having your own Lego sculpture of yourself, it gives you a little bit of perspective.” The proper perspective in evaluating Patrick’s career isn’t about Legos or wins. It’s about a legacy built on opportunity for anyone and everyone. “I think that the better framework of that idea is that when a family is at the track or a family is at home watching the race and they see me,” she said, Regular $21.99 each NOW JUST ON SAL NO E W 19.99 each $ Don’t forget Bob’s for Delicious fresh produce for your Memorial Day Celebration!
