Administered through Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development District in its eight-county southeast Ohio region, the $250,000 housing grant was recently awarded by the Development Services Agency. “Grants are available to fund repairs for income eligible individuals of any age with a disability or seniors 60-plus who own their home or have a life estate in the property,” said Joe Gage, Area Agency on Aging (AAA8) housing coordinator. “For residents who qualify, monies may be used to assist with the costs associated with accessibility modifications such as widening doorways, wheelchair ramps, handicap modifications of a bathroom or kitchen and other home repairs.” According to American Association of Retired Persons, the majority of older adults want to age in place and continue to live in their own homes or communities. The number of older adults will continue to increase as the “Baby Boomer” population ages, and the degree to which they can participate in community life will be determined, in part, by how homes and communities are designed. Gage is also an Aging-In-Place specialist through the National Association of Home Builders. Aging-In-Place is a program developed to AGING IN PLACE The Center for Disease Control and Prevention defines aging in place as “the ability to live in one’s own home and community safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age, income or ability level.” address the growing number of consumers that will soon require housing modifications to allow them to stay in their homes as they age.

He is responsible for grant administration across the eightcounty region and can assist eligible residents answer questions such as “How can I make my kitchen more functional?”; “How do I modify my bathroom or home entrance?” and “What type of contractor should I use?” The program will assess an individuals home for eligible repairs, develop specifications and bid the project to qualified providers to complete the modifications. Grants are available to fund accessibility modifications for income eligible individuals of any age with a disability or for minor home repairs for income eligible persons over 60 years of age who own their home or have a life estate in the property. In 2016, households served under this program must be at or below the following income level: for Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Noble and Perry Counties, $19,500; Washington County, $18,750; and For more information, call 1-800-3312644 or visit www. areaagency8.org.

See MUSICIAN | 3 Wayne Forest requires harvest permits Contributed Article COLUMBUS — Officials trying to ward off ginseng poachers in southern Ohio’s Wayne National Forest will now require a permit to harvest the root plant that’s thought to have medicinal properties and can sell for hundreds of dollars a pound. The new $20 permit to harvest ginseng in the forest should help officials track the amount of ginseng taken from the forest in Athens County, forest spokesman Gary Chancey said. Until now, ginseng has been included for harvesting under a general permit that includes six other root plant species, according to The Columbus Dispatch. The slow-growing plant has fleshy roots that are said to have medicinal purposes. Dried ginseng is used to help combat stress, cancer-related fatigue, diabetes and several other ailments. The wild ginseng permits will go on sale Aug. 1, a month before the harvest season gets underway and runs through Dec. 1 at the forest. The park joins Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky in instituting a ginseng-specific permit. The number of ginseng plants available is on the decline and Boone National Forest has shortened the harvest season to two weeks in September as a result. Increased harvesting has hurt the ginseng population, said Tom Redfern, director of sustainable agriculture and forestry for the Ohio-based group Rural Action. Statistics from the state Division of Wild- life showed that there has also been a spike in poaching of the root. Ginseng harvesting has been incorrectly portrayed through reality television as a “quick way to make a buck,” when it’s really a form of “wild-crafting,” which is an important cultural tradition in the Appalachian region, Redfern said. Violators who are caught digging ginseng without permission or digging out of season will be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail. ‘Growl Gallery’ fundraiser benefits center By Lorna Hart lhart@civitasmedia.com — NEWS Obituaries: 2 Opinion: 4 Weather: 5 — Randy Smith Meigs County commissioner POMEROY — Organizers of “The Growl Gallery,”’ fundraiser for the Meigs County Canine Rescue and Adoption Center, will be May 22.

Ohioans who previously weren’t affiliated with a party prior to the primary also voted Republican at a higher rate, the data showed. Voters do not register with a political party when they sign up to vote in Ohio but are considered affiliated with the party whose ballot they cast in a primary. Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted’s office said it compiled the party-switching information from the statewide voter database in response to requests following this year’s primary. 8:30 9 PM 9:30 Strong "Four the Win" (N) The Blacklist "Alexander Kirk: Conclusion" (SF) (N) Strong "Four the Win" (N) The Blacklist "Alexander Kirk: Conclusion" (SF) (N) Grey's Anatomy "Family The Catch "The Happy Affair" (SF) (N) Couple" (N) The Ghost Army American Song of the Mountains "Annabel's Curse/ Mipso" G.I.s tricked the enemy with special effects.

COLUMBUS — More than 4 million U.S. workers will become newly eligible for overtime pay under rules issued Wednesday by the Obama administration. The rule seeks to bolster overtime protections that have been eroded in recent decades by inflation. A diminishing proportion of workers have benefited from overtime regulations, which date to the 1930s and require employers to pay 1½ times a worker’s wage for work that exceeds 40 hours a week. Vice President Joe Biden announced the changes at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in Columbus, Ohio. In the fast food and retail industries in particular, many employees are deemed managers, work long hours but are paid a flat salary that barely exceeds the income of the hourly workers they supervise who receive overtime pay. Under the new rules, released in draft form last summer, the annual salary threshold at which companies can deny overtime pay will be doubled from $23,660 to nearly $47,500. That would make 4.2 million more salaried workers eligible for overtime pay. Hourly workers would continue to be mostly guaranteed overtime. The White House estimates that the rule change will raise pay by $1.2 billion a year over the next decade. Some employers, though, might choose to reduce their employees’ additional hours to avoid paying overtime, thereby making the workers’ schedules more consistent. “Either way, the worker wins,” said Vice President Joe Biden on a conference call with reporters Tuesday. Business groups, however, argued that the changes will increase paperwork and scheduling burdens for small companies and force many businesses to convert salaried workers to hourly ones to more closely track working time. Many employees will see that as a step down, they said. “With the stroke of a pen, the Labor Department is demoting millions of workers,” David French, a senior vice president for the National Retail Federation, said. “Most of the people impacted by this change will not see any additional pay.” The overtime threshold was last updated in 2004 and now covers just 7 percent of full-time salaried workers, administration officials said — down from 62 percent in 1975. The higher threshold, to take effect Dec. 1, will lift that ratio back to 35 percent, Labor Secretary Tom Perez said. Perez has spearheaded the administration’s effort and has worked on formulating the rule for the past two years. The new rule is intended to boost earnings for middle- and lower-income workers, Perez said, which have been stagnant since the late 1990s. Overtime pay hasn’t received as much attention as nationwide efforts to increase the minimum wage, but it could have a broad impact. “This, in essence, is a minimum wage increase for the middle class,” Judy Conti, federal advocacy coordinator for the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group, said. Workers making more than $47,500 may still be eligible for overtime pay, unless they perform management, supervisory or professional functions — the so-called “white collar” duties test. The liberal Economic Policy Institute estimates that 4.9 million people will become newly eligible for overtime, slightly more than the government’s figure, and that an additional 7.6 million will benefit because they have previously been denied overtime pay as white collar workers. Yet with salaries below the new threshold, they will now have a stronger claim to overtime pay. Overtime has become a sore point for many managers, assistant managers, and management trainees in the fast food and retail industries. Despite their titles, they have complained in lawsuits against such chains as Chipotle and Dollar General that they spend most of 50- or 60-hour workweeks staffing cash registers, mopping floors, or performing other tasks typical of regular employees. Yet they don’t get paid time and a half when they clock more than 40 hours in a week.

The commissioners confirmed some logistical assistance, and the parties affirmed the plan to be operational in the new building in early June. BOE members Megan Lee and Angie Robson expressed interest in painting the interior of their new building themselves. This was encouraged by the commissioners, and commissioner Tim Ihle joked, “Are you certified painters to paint in Meigs?” The BOE also extended an invitation to the commissioners to Gary Walker’s retirement party. Commissioner Mike Bartrum took the moment to praise Walker’s long service to the area.

Herman Carson, of the Ohio Public Defender’s Office, presented budget changes to the commissioners. Most of the changes were as a result of a state accounting error. “I’ve made efforts to track actual costs since I became the director two years ago,” Carson said as he presented mostly positive trending budgetary numbers. After discussion involving Prosecutor Colleen Williams, the commissioners approved the new contract. Carrie Gloekner represented the Meigs County Museum to seek location suggestions for a possible move. The society expressed their interest in acquiring the courthouse when the local government relocates to a newer building, though the timeline is uncertain. The courthouse fulfills a centrally located, historic and accessible location, without which the museum suffers in attendance and preservation capability. Though likely in need of tremendous repair, the commissioners invited the museum to scout the former Meigs County Infirmary as potential site. Two appropriations, $8,000 into A022A01 and $23,000 into A004B13, were approved. Bills were paid in the amount of $27, 859.28 from a total of $201, 358.06.

We don’t have any keys to the city, but we do have this commendation to let everyone know the county is proud.” Ihle read a proclamation, which said in part, “We are impressed with your vision to be part of the country music industry and excited that your dream is about to be realized.” Your news ...

According to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists, Egypt is the second worst jailer of journalists, worldwide. In Turkey this week two newspaper columnists were each sentenced to two years in prison for “insulting people’s religious values,” after they republished the Charlie Hebdo cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed. The sentences are in keeping with an aggressive crackdown on media by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Last week a car full of Somali broadcast journalists, who receive daily death threats, came under machine fire on their way to an assignment. Since Civil War broke out in 1992, 59 journalists have been killed for doing their job in the African nation. Two weeks ago 64-year-old Chinese journalist Wang Jing was sentenced to four years in prison for “provoking trouble.” Her “crime” was photographing Chinese police beating protesters. Wang is in poor health, suffers from a brain tumor, and has been beaten repeatedly by police while in captivity, her editor says. China is the world’s leading jailer of journalists, the CPJ reports. Last year, 14 journalists lost their lives in Syria and nine were killed in France. Overall, 72 journalists were killed in the line of duty in 2015 and 10 have been killed so far this year. May 3 was World Press Freedom Day, an occasion to celebrate the fundamental principles of press freedom; assess the state of press freedom throughout the world; defend the media from attacks on their independence; and pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the line of duty. President Obama’s administration has been chilling on American press freedoms and media organizations are under tremendous financial strain. But things are much worse elsewhere. In 2015 hundreds of journalists were beaten, harassed, intimidated, killed, arrested, exiled or simply made to disappear for doing their jobs. Without a free press, there isn’t freedom.

You can choose what information to which you are exposed and how it affects you. If you just let them get to you, that’s your own fault. Probably the best way to keep from being overwhelmed by the election hype is to be informed. Do your own research on the candidates and issues and get the information as first-hand as possible. The more facts you know, the less likely you are to get sucked into the garbage. Politics can sometimes be a fun diversion, though for whom I haven’t a clue. But when things are as charged up as they are this time around, most of what results is stress, angry feelings and regretful behavior. Remember that politicians at that level – including Hillary, Bernie, and Donald – have no stake in your life. They could care less about anything save their own quest for power, ego and personal benefit. And they’ll say anything to get the votes they want. Anyone who sincerely believes otherwise is a bit naive. So as the election creeps up on us, be prepared to go vote your conscience when the time comes. Until then, shut it all down, tune it all out, and relax! Gery L. Deer is an independent columnist and business writer. Deer In Headlines is distributed by GLD Enterprises Communications, Ltd.

COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court says a county judge doesn’t have jurisdiction to order the state to return five tigers and other exotic animals to a farm where they were seized two weeks ago. A Stark County judge ordered the animals returned to Stump Hill Farm in Massillon by Thursday. But the high court’s decision Wednesday says the judge doesn’t have jurisdiction to do that and the Department of Agriculture has authority in such matters. The department says the animals’ owner didn’t meet tightened restrictions and returning the animals would pose a safety risk. The judge’s attorney had argued he acted within his authority. The owner says the animals are no threat and should be returned. The animals include a tiger that gave birth to four cubs after being seized.

First and foremost, it marked Gallia Academy’s final SEOAL appearance. A charter member of the SEOAL in 1925, Gallipolis now leaves the league for full-time membership in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Blue Devils and Blue Angels played in both the SEOAL and OVC during the 201516 school year. Also on Saturday, Logan High School clinched its third consecutive SEOAL allsports championship and will now permanently keep the William E. (Bill) Thomas AllSports Trophy. SEOAL administrators voted last summer to discontinue awarding the All-Sports Trophy unless there are at least four full-time members. With only Jackson, Logan and Warren remaining in the league for the 2016-17 school year, league officials decided to retire the award unless/until league membership again reached at least four full-time schools. However, with charter member Jackson High School having given notice last week that it will leave the SEOAL at the end of the 2016-17 school year, that isn’t likely to happen. Jackson is poised to join McClain, Hillsboro, Miami Trace, Washington Court House and former SEOAL member Chillicothe in forming a new conference beginning in the fall of 2017. That will leave just Warren and charter member Logan as the SEOAL’s only members, and it would take the addition of at least two more full-time members to save the league. The SEOAL will likely fold at the end of the 2016-17 school year, its 92nd consecutive season of operation. Ironically, the SEOAL began with a track and field meet in 1925 — and will more than likely end with a track and field meet Saturday, May 13, at Warren High School. By winning the boys and girls track and field championships, Logan finished with 45.5 points, placing eight points in front of runner-up Warren (37.5), which was second in both meets. Jackson (28.5) climbed past Gallipolis (26.5) to finish third. The track titles were the only championships Logan won during the spring, but the Chiefs and Lady Chiefs either won outright or shared half of the league’s 16 titles in 2015-16. Logan also won golf, boys and girls cross country, wrestling and girls basketball and shared the boys basketball crown with Warren. Warren actually had more points (13.5) than Logan (13), Jackson (12.5) and Gallipolis (7) during the spring season after claiming the softball title and sharing the baseball crown with Jackson. The Ironmen, meanwhile, won the school’s first boys tennis championship in 40 years. Jackson claimed back-to-back titles in 1975 and 1976 when the winner was decided via a one-day tournament. Jackson also won football and girls soccer titles during the 2015-16 school year, while Gallia Academy earned the volleyball crown. Associate member Athens took the boys soccer and girls tennis championships. According to SEOAL rules, three-fourths of full-time member schools must field a team (or in the case of cross country, register a team score) for that sport to count in the AST standings. This season, 15 of the 16 sports counted with the exception of girls tennis because neither Warren nor Gallia Academy had girls tennis teams. Placement by associate members Athens (tennis and soccer) and Alexander (soccer) do not count in the AllSports Trophy standings. Points are figured either on a 4-3-2-1 (first through fourth places) or 3-2-1 (first through third) basis among fulltime SEOAL schools only. One of the longestrunning prep conferences in the state, the SEOAL was formed by William E. (Bill) Thomas of Wellston in 1925 and began competition with a boys track meet that spring, with 192526 being the first full season of conference competition. Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP Cleveland Cavaliers’ LeBron James (23) celebrates after dunking against the Toronto Raptors during the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals Tuesday in Cleveland. The Cavaliers won 115-84. Cleveland is the first team to start the playoffs with nine straight wins since San Antonio reeled off 10 in a row in 2012. Cavs beat Raptors 115-84 in Game 1 CLEVELAND (AP) — Still unbeaten, still undeniable. The Cavaliers are rolling through the East with ease. LeBron James hardly missed and scored 24 points in three quarters, Kyrie Irving scored 27 and Cleveland picked up where it left off before a long layoff by thumping the Toronto Raptors 115-84 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday night. James made his first nine shots — one an arena-rattling powerhouse dunk — and the Cavs, healthy and hungry after losing in the Finals a year ago, shot 67 percent from the field in the first half while improving to 9-0 this postseason. Cleveland is the first team to start the playoffs with nine straight wins since San Antonio reeled off 10 in a row in 2012. “It’s our preparation,” James said in explaining the Cavs’ so-far-pristine postseason. “We understand the moment and guys are rising to that.” The 31-point win is the most lopsided in Cleveland’s postseason history. But unlike their second-round series when they made 77 3-pointers and swept Atlanta, the Cavs did most of their damage from close range. Cleveland made just 7 of 20 3-point attempts. DeMar DeRozan scored 18 points and Bismack Biyombo added 12 for Toronto, which had just one day to prepare for the Cavs after going to seven games with Miami. “I thought they were the fresher team, the quicker team,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. Kyle Lowry, who scored 35 points in the Raptors’ seriesclinching win over Miami, was held to just eight as he and the Raptors were roughed up in their first appearance in the conference finals. Unless Toronto figures some things out quickly, these Raptors will be extinct, too. Game 2 is Thursday night. Cleveland figured to have some rust following a nine-day break since ousting the Hawks. But not only did the Cavs look refreshed, they looked better than before, taking their game to another level. And James, as is almost always the case, led the charge. He finished 11 of 13 from the field and added six rebounds and four assists in just 28 minutes. James spent the final quarter on the bench cheering on Cleveland’s reserves. These are the Cavs at full force, not the version missing Love and Irving in last year’s Finals. “They waited a full regular season to get back to this moment,” James said of his teammates. “They trained their bodies all season long to get back to this point and those guys have been spectacular.” The Cavs outscored the Raptors 33-16 in the second quarter when James personally welcomed Canada’s NBA franchise to the East’s final round with a devastating dunk. Driving baseline past DeMarre Carroll, James cut across the lane and hammered home a righthanded windmill. He celebrated the slam by tilting his head, backpedaling and letting out a primal scream along with 20,000 fans. The impressive bucket capped a 20-2 spurt for the Cavs, whose swarming defense was making life miserable for Lowry and his teammates. Toronto didn’t get its first field goal until 6:28 remained in the quarter. The Raptors regrouped for a moment and closed within 12 before the Cavs decided enough was enough and closed the half with a 12-4 flurry to go up 66-44. The Raptors came in as overwhelming underdogs, but Casey wasn’t worried about the stage being too big or his team fearing the Cavs. He’s still confident his group will bounce back. “This score is embarrassing,” he said. “But it’s just one game.” And that might be the scariest thing of all. NOTES: The Cavs dominated the Raptors inside, outrebounding them 45-23. … Cleveland’s nine-game winning streak is the longest for any Cleveland team in postseason history. The Cavs also won nine straight in 2009. … Game 2 is Thursday night in Cleveland at 8:30 p.m. Cavaliers 9-0 in these NBA playoffs By Tim Reynolds to start a postseason with that many consecutive wins.

The Lakers swept Portland (3-0), Sacramento (4-0) and San Antonio (4-0) in the Western Conference playoffs. “Custer had no idea. That’s my statement. Figure it out. The roll they’re on is ridiculous,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after the West finals ended. The Lakers lost Game 1 of the NBA Finals to Philadelphia, then took the next four to finish 15-1 and as world champions. 10-0, San Antonio Spurs, 2012 — The Spurs ended the regular season on a 10-game winning streak, then won their first 10 games in the playoffs. They swept Utah and the Los Angeles Clippers in the first two rounds, then took the first two games of the West finals against Oklahoma City. And then they promptly lost their next four games, getting ousted by the Thunder in a stunning freefall. The Thunder went to the NBA Finals, falling to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in five games.

The American, who drives for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, spun as he went through the first turn and slammed into the outside wall before the car came to a stop between the first and second turns Wednesday. But when the back of the Honda car appeared to start lifting, the car came back to the ground — unlike last year when three cars went airborne during practice on Indy’s 2.5-mile oval. Series officials have added new safety measures and they appeared to work. Pigot was helped out of the car by the track’s safety crew and was almost immediately cleared to continue driving. www.mydailysentinel.com �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Thursday, May 19, 2016 Help Wanted General Yard Sale Business & Trade School Big Garage Sale Behind Dominoes's Pizza Thursday May 19th Friday May 20th 9am-?

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Thursday, May 19, 2016 Daily Sentinel Bach: Federations could be banned if Sochi allegations true LONDON (AP) — Just as Russia’s track and field federation was suspended by the IAAF, some of the country’s winter sports bodies could be banned if allegations of state-supported doping at the 2014 Sochi Olympics are proven, IOC President Thomas Bach said Wednesday. Bach wrote in a newspaper op-ed piece that accusations that Russian officials subverted the drug-testing system at the Winter Games “represent a shocking new dimension in doping” and an “unimaginable level of criminality.” Bach said the International Olympic Committee will act with “all the appropriate measures within its powers” to deal with claims by Russia’s former anti-doping director that he ran an organized doping program for Russian athletes at the Sochi Games and helped switch tainted samples for clean ones. The IOC has asked the World Anti-Doping Agency to carry out a full-fledged investigation and plans to retest Sochi samples stored at the lab in Lausanne, Switzerland. Bach said, if the Russian doping allegations are found to be true, the IOC would punish individual athletes and “all their entourage within its reach.” “This action could range from life-long Olympic bans for any implicated person, to tough financial sanctions, to acceptance of suspension or exclusion of entire national federations like the already existing one for the Russian Athletics Federations by the IAAF,” he wrote. The IAAF suspended Russia from global competition following an investigation by an independent WADA panel that detailed state-sponsored doping, corruption and cover-ups in the country’s track and field program. The IAAF is scheduled to decide next month whether to maintain or lift the ban on the Russians for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August. Bach said the results of WADA’s Sochi investigation will “greatly influence” the participation of Russian athletes in Rio. If there is evidence of organized doping in other Russian sports, international federations and the IOC “would have to make the difficult decision between collective responsibility and individual justice,” Bach said. “It would have to consider whether in such ‘contaminated’ federations the presumption of innocence for athletes could still be applied, whether the burden of proof could be reversed,” he added. The Russian sports ministry said Wednesday it supports banning drug cheats but claimed it would be unfair to keep a blanket ban on all track athletes for the games. “We strongly believe that clean athletes, who have spent years of their lives training for the games, should not be deprived of the right to participate,” the ministry said. “Moreover, we are willing to fully cooperate with WADA in their investigation and we have officially informed WADA of this.” The statements came as U.S. federal prosecutors investigate the allegations of state-sponsored doping of Russian athletes. The probe, launched by the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York, is looking at athletes, Russian government officials, anti-doping authorities and people who may have benefited from the doping scheme, The New York Times reported. WADA President Craig Reedie told The Associated Press he had not been contacted by U.S. authorities. Paint was perfectly placed and our defense made a great effort on the play.

It gives us the injection we need.” Their win certainly won’t quiet those believers in lottery conspiracies, as former 76ers center Dikembe Mutombo — who works for the NBA as a global ambassador — accidentally tweeted congratulations on their victory about four hours earlier. He sent a subsequent tweet saying he was just excited but was keeping his fingers crossed. “I want to let people know there was no conspiracy,” Mutombo told The Associated Press in a phone interview, saying it was a mistake and that he thought “a lot of people understood the error that was made.” Lottery night was always going to be the highlight of this season for the 76ers, who started it on a freefall that never stopped. They started 0-18, finishing a 28-game skid dating to 2014-15, en route to a 10-72 record that was just a game better than the all-time worst in an 82-game season. had three errors and five runners left on base, while PVHS had two errors and six runners stranded.
