Several booths offer an array of homemade pastries and breads. Talented artists have their work on display, with everything from sketches and paintings to jewelry and pottery. Some vendors are at the market each week, and bring with them staples that shoppers have come to rely on. Others are on a rotating basis, so there is always something different. According to Market Director Stephanie COLUMBUS, Ohio — School districts that allow employees to be armed must also require policelevel training for those workers, a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in a victory for a group of parents who challenged a local district’s armed employee policy. At issue before the court was a directive adopted by Madison Local Schools in southwestern Ohio after a 2016 shooting in which two students were shot and wounded by a 14-year-old boy. A group of parents sued the district in September 2018 to prevent teachers from being armed without extensive training. A Butler County judge dismissed the lawsuit, saying that school staffers did not need such training because they are not law enforcement officers. The district’s policy requires 24 hours of training for staff carrying concealed weapons. The parents appealed to the 12th District Court of Appeals, which ruled last March that Ohio law requires anyone who carries firearms in schools to have undergone a minimum of 728 hours of law enforcement training. Nothing in Ohio law allows districts to circumvent the law’s training requirement, Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor wrote for the four-justice majority. The statute prohibits schools from employing someone who is armed while on duty “unless the employee has satisfactorily completed an approved basic peace-officer-training program or has 20 years of experience as a peace officer,” O’Connor wrote. Three justices dissented, saying they believed Ohio law does allow the arming of teachers without the extra training. “If the General Assembly had wished to prohibit nonsecurity personnel, like teachers, from carrying weapons while on school See MARKET | 10 See SCHOOL | 10 The French Art Colony’s Hot Summer Nights concert series returns today featuring Laurie Mae Hoover, pictured at right, alongside collaborator Chris Grogan.

There are 190 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On June 24, 1948, Communist forces cut off all land and water routes between West Germany and West Berlin, prompting the western allies to organize the Berlin Airlift. On this date: In 1497, the first recorded sighting of North America by a European took place as explorer John Cabot spotted land, probably in present-day Canada. In 1807, a grand jury in Richmond, Virginia, indicted former Vice President Aaron Burr on charges of treason and high misdemeanor (he was later acquitted). In 1880, “O Canada,” the future Canadian national anthem, was first performed in Quebec City. In 1940, France signed an armistice with Italy during World War II. In 1947, what’s regarded as the first modern UFO sighting took place as private pilot Kenneth Arnold, an Idaho businessman, reported seeing nine silvery objects flying in a “weaving formation” near Mount Rainier in Washington. In 1957, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Roth v. United States, ruled 6-3 that obscene materials were not protected by the First Amendment. In 1964, AT&T inaugurated commercial “Picturephone” service between New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. (the service, however, never caught on). In 1973, President Richard Nixon concluded his summit with the visiting leader of the Soviet Union, Leonid Brezhnev, who hailed the talks in an address on American television. In 1983, the space shuttle Challenger — carrying America’s first woman in space, Sally K. Ride — coasted to a safe landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1992, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, strengthened its 30-year ban on officially sponsored worship in public schools, prohibiting prayer as a part of graduation ceremonies. In 2015, a federal judge in Boston formally sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-HAHR’ tsahr-NEYE’-ehv) to death for the 2013 terror attacks. (A federal appeals court later threw out the sentence; the Supreme Court this fall will consider reinstating it.) Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley became the first southern governor to use his executive power to remove Confederate banners, as four flags with secessionist symbols were taken down from a large monument to rebel soldiers outside the state capitol in Montgomery. In 2018, women in Saudi Arabia were able to drive for the first time, as the world’s last remaining ban on female drivers was lifted.

The Wahama softball team completed a divine season in unbeaten fashion Wednesday by clinching the 2021 WVSSAC Class A championship with a 5-3 victory over Ritchie County at Craft Field in South Charleston. The Lady Falcons (27-0) secured the program’s first-ever state championship in any female team sport, and did so against a Ritchie County (23-7) squad that WHS had previously beaten four times by a combined 22-3 margin this year. After a 2-all tie through an inning of play, Wahama took a permanent lead with three runs in the bottom of the third for a 5-2 advantage. RCHS rallied back to within 5-3 with a score in the fifth, which ultimately provided the final 2-run outcome. A more in-depth look at Wahama’s first Class A softball championship will be made available online later and will also appear in the Friday sports edition of the Point Pleasant Register.

LEBANON, Ohio (AP) — An explosion in an Ohio home during installation of a geothermal heating system injured three workers, one seriously, authorities said. Fire officials in the Clinton-Warren Joint Fire District said the blast occurred in the basement of the Washington Township home just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. Officials called it a “flash explosion” that caused a fire that spread to the main level of the residence. Fire officials said three Jackson Geothermal employees were injured. One was flown to Miami Valley Hospital with severe burns. Another was taken to Clinton Memorial Hospital for treatment of burns that were said to be “not severe,” officials said. The third person refused treatment at the scene. Officials said family members were home at the time of the explosion but were uninjured. A state fire marshal will investigate. Death of woman whose remains were burned is ruled a homicide COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The death of a woman whose burning body was found last week in a wooded area of a small central Ohio community has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Tuesday. Firefighters responding to reports of a possible brush fire in Urbancrest found the remains of Jenay Crawley, 23, on June 14, according to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. The Columbus resident died of strangulation and also suffered other injuries before she died, officials said. Authorities believe Crawley died in a different area than where she was found, but they have not disclosed further details, citing the ongoing investigation. A motive for the slaying remains under investigation. No arrests have been made so far. MOVING AUCTION Saturday June 26th at 10am, Doors open at 8am!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two Republican lawmakers got into a tense confrontation at an upscale Columbus restaurant two weeks ago over the now-historic vote to expel Larry Householder from the Ohio House. Rep. Bill Seitz, of Cincinnati, confronted Rep. Jon Cross, of Kenton, at Lindey’s — a restaurant often frequented by lawmakers and lobbyists — a week before the June 16 vote to oust Householder, The Toledo Blade reported Tuesday. The two lawmakers were dining separately June 9. The Blade reported Seitz, who holds a leadership position in the House, approached Cross as they were both leaving and began to argue about Cross’ plan to vote yes on the expulsion resolution. Cross confirmed the altercation happened when The Blade contacted him Tuesday. It remains unclear if the encounter between the two men was physical or strictly verbal. A formal complaint was made to Speaker Bob Cupp’s office regarding the incident. Seitz told the paper he did not act in a threatening manner toward his fellow lawmaker. “We had a sharp exchange of words, and that’s all I’m going to say about it,” he said. “In a family, you sometimes have disagreements, and we had a disagreement. Mr. Cross and I ended the conversation in about one minute.” Seitz has been among the few GOP members to continue publicly supporting now-former Rep. Larry Householder since a federal affidavit released in July 2020 charged the then-Speaker of the House with federal racketeering. The U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio at the time called it the largest bribery scandal in state history. Householder has pleaded not guilty and maintained his innocence — even defending himself in front of his colleagues on the House floor last Wednesday — moments before lawmakers cast a 75-21 vote to remove a sitting member from the chamber for the first time in nearly 150 years. The June 9 altercation is the second time in weeks that Rep. Seitz has been accused of being combative with his colleagues. Rep. Emilia Sykes, the chamber’s highest-ranking Democrat, said the veteran lawmaker “verbally attacked” her during a recent hearing on a controversial voting reform bill he is sponsoring.

The move by the CFP board of managers was a necessary step to determine the feasibility of tripling the size of the playoff field. “The four-team playoff has been a great success and I’m confident it will remain a success,” said Mark Keenum, the Mississippi State president and CFP board chairman. “Nevertheless, it is our responsibility to explore options to make it even better by increasing the number of schools that participate in it.” The 12-team proposal was presented to the presidents and chancellors after the 11-person panel that manages the postseason system — 10 conference commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick — last week had its first meeting with everyone together in person. Keenum said the next step is a summer review phase that will “engage other important voices,” including athletes, campus leaders and coaches. “We’re going to be just very deliberate and we’re not going to talk timing until we get the answers to all the feasibility issues and until we have a chance to to listen and talk to athletes, presidents, coaches, partners,” Penn State President Eric Barron said. “So it’ll take time.” The proposal doesn’t address when a new format or any expansion could be implemented. The earliest possibility is 2023 if everything falls into place. It could as be as late as the 2026 season after the current media rights contract with ESPN expires, along with some contractual considerations with bowl games, including those that are part of the New Year’s Six. Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey issued a bit of a caution when asked about how soon a new playoff could be up and running. “I would temper my expectations, and never say never, but we’ve got an opportunity to dig deeper as a group,” Sankey said. “Those answers are going to come. There were decisions made back in 2012, 2013, 2014 that guide us for 12 years. That’s reality. Can that change? I don’t know.” Indianapolis will host the CFP national championship game for the upcoming season, followed by Los Angeles the next year. There is also a date set for the title game in Houston at the end of the 2023 season. The recommended proposal for a 12-team playoff was developed over two years by four members of the CFP management committee: Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson, Sankey and Swarbrick. That subcommittee also shared with the presidents various other options that had been considered, including plans staying at four teams and having as many as 16 teams. The Championship Subdivision playoff field began with four teams in 1978; it has expanded five times and now includes 24 teams. “This has been vetted pretty carefully,” West Virginia President Gordon Gee said of the CFP proposal. “So almost every question you could possibly anticipate they had an answer for.” Gee said the 12-team proposal “makes absolute sense” if all the pieces come together, and described there being unanimity among the presidents in the See FOOTBALL | 6 Meigs Post 39 falls 5-4 to Beverly-Lowell By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com BEVERLY, Ohio — A bit of an anomaly. Meigs Post 39 held host Beverly-Lowell to a single hit over the course of seven innings, but five errors ultimately came back to haunt the guests Tuesday night during a 5-4 setback in an American Legion baseball contest in Washington County. Post 39 — which dropped its fourth straight decision after a 4-0 start to the season — established leads of 2-0 and 3-0 after each of the first two frames, but a leadoff single by Dennis allowed Beverly-Lowell to start a 2-run rally in the bottom of the third for a 3-2 deficit. Meigs countered with a run in its half of the fourth for a 4-2 advantage, but the hosts responded with a pair of scores for a 4-all contest after four complete. Greuey reached on a 1-out error and advanced to second on a passed ball in the bottom of the seventh, then moved over to third on a ground out by Pauley. Another passed ball allowed Greuey to come plateward with the game-clinching run. Post 39 produced four hits in the setback, with Matthew Blanchard producing all four of those safeties in as many at-bats. Blanchard also knocked in a pair of runs and scored once. Blanchard started the game with a single and later scored on a bases-loaded walk to Coltin Parker, then Alex Pierce scored on a double play as Post 39 established a 2-run edge after one inning. Blanchard doubled home Zach Searles in the second for a 3-0 lead, but the hosts combined the Dennis single with an error, a passed ball and a groundout to whittle the deficit down to 3-2 through three full frames. Blanchard singled home Reynolds in the fourth to double the lead back out to 4-2, but a dropped third strike and an error allowed Huffman and Ellis to both reach safely in the bottom of the fourth. Consecutive wild pitches allowed Huffman and Ellis to both come around and score for a 4-all contest through four complete. Meigs committed five of the six errors in the contest and also stranded six of the 13 total runners left on base. Reynolds took the loss for Post 39 after allowing one run, no hits and no walks over 1.2 innings of relief while striking out one. Meigs Post 39 returns to action this weekend as it participates in the Jim Jadwin Memorial at Chillicothe VA Memorial Stadium. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Lady Falcons advance to Class A final By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A great start to their state debut. The Wahama softball team — playing in the state tournament for the first time in program history — is now just one win away from the Class A championship, as the Lady Falcons defeated Petersburg 6-5, and Ritchie County 6-3 Tuesday on Craft Field at Little Creek Park in Kanawha County. In their opening game, the Lady Falcons (26-0) trailed Petersburg (21-6) 1-0 after a second inning error.

The Red and White then took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first, with Lauren Noble doubling home Gibbs and Wolfe.

She’s now known as Lauren Holiday, after marrying Jrue in 2013. And now, it’s her husband who is pursuing the gold medal. Jrue Holiday was part of the select team that helped the 2012 team prepare for the Olympics, and has been part of other USA Basketball experiences along the way — but never anything as significant as the chance to play in Tokyo. Middleton was part of the most recent U.S. men’s senior national team, playing for coach Gregg Popovich — who’ll also lead the Olympic team — at the 2019 Basketball World Cup in China, where the Americans were a disappointing seventh. The additions of Middleton, Holiday and Love put the Americans relatively close to having a full roster for the Tokyo Games. Others who have committed so far: Miami’s Bam Adebayo, Brooklyn’s Kevin Durant, Golden State’s Draymond Pistons win lottery, receive No. 1 pick in NBA draft By Tim Reynolds Associated Press Newly selected Basketball Hall of Famer Ben Wallace tapped his fist on the table a few times, then clapped his hands and pointed one finger skyward. After one of the worst seasons in franchise history, Detroit has something to celebrate. The Pistons won the NBA draft lottery on Tuesday night, meaning they’ll have the No. 1 pick on July 29 — and, presumably, the chance to take Oklahoma State guard Cade Cunningham. “We get to add another young player to the restoration process,” Pistons general manager Troy Weaver said. “We’re excited to be in this position. But it means that we’ve got a lot of work to do. We’re going to be diligent about it, but it always helps to be able to add a No. 1 pick from a talented group of players to choose from.” Houston — which basically had 50-50 odds of picking in the top four — got the No. 2 pick. Cleveland will pick No. 3 and Toronto will pick No. 4, after both of those franchises got some lottery luck to move up in the order. But the big winners were the Pistons, with Weaver saying the team will take a look at five players before deciding on the No. 1 selection. Unless Detroit moves the pick, it will be picking No. 1 overall for the first time since taking Bob Lanier in 1970. And, as if there was any doubt, Weaver said Cunningham — just the fourth player to win Big 12 Player and Freshman of the Year honors in the same season, after averaging 20.2 points per game in his lone collegiate season — is at the “top of the list.” “It’s going to mean a lot. It’s going to mean a lot for this team,” Wallace said on the ESPN telecast of the lottery, after he served as the team’s virtual representative for the event that took place in Secaucus, New Jersey. “I think the team is headed in the right direction.” Orlando will get the No. 5 and No. 8 selections, with Oklahoma City picking No. 6 and Golden State also with two lottery slots — No. 7, as part of a trade with Minnesota, and the Warriors’ own pick at No. 14. The rest of the lottery results: Sacramento picks No. 9, New Orleans No. 10, Charlotte No. 11, San Antonio at No. 12, and Indiana at No. 13. The lottery — 14 ping-pong balls, all numbered 1 through 14, placed into a hopper — technically only determines the first four picks. The rest then default to a pre-established order of finish; Golden State, for example, had only a 2.4% chance of its own pick being anything other than the No. 14 selection. And form held through the first six picks that were unveiled. The No. 8 pick, which was slotted to Chicago, winds up with the Magic as part of the Nikola Vucevic trade from this season. That’s when the first significant buck-the-odds move happened, when Toronto’s 31.9% chance of cashing into a topfour slot delivered. The Thunder will have three first-round picks, but none higher than No. 6. That’s good news for them, and really good news for Houston. The Rockets had a 52% chance of winning a top-four pick. The worst Houston could do was the No. 5 selection, and that truly was a worst-case scenario because if the Rockets were outside of the top four the pick would convey to Oklahoma City as part of the compensation for the Russell WestbrookChris Paul trade between those teams in 2019. In that scenario, if Houston had gotten the No. 5 pick, it would have gone to the Thunder in exchange for the No. 18 pick. But the Rockets held on, getting the No. 2 pick as one of the building blocks they can use to reload after finishing with the NBA’s worst record this season. Viewers might have found out the order before Rockets general manager Rafael Stone, who decided not to watch the stressful countdown. “I decided that probably would be unpleasant,” Stone said. The consensus opinion has been that the No. 1 pick will be either a one-and-done college player — Cunningham, Southern California center Evan Mosley or Gonzaga guard Jalen Suggs — or someone from the G-League development program like guard Jalen Green or forward Jonathan Kuminga. And, as always, it’ll be a guessing game: Most of the players expected to be lottery picks are teenagers, mostly 19, some 18. Sitting at No. 3 gives the Cavs a chance to add another young player to their “core four” — Darius Garland, Collin Sexton, Isaac Okoro and Jared Allen — and maybe find a player capable of pushing Cleveland back to relevance. Cavs general manager Koby Altman feels this draft has more quality at the top than previous years. NCAA could seek once-radical solutions after court loss By Ralph D.

To try to achieve a greater understanding and remedies for the issues of mental health that student-athletes suffer. There’s plenty to go around. But we’re not thinking in those terms,” he said. Murphy is among several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who have expressed a distrust of NCAA leadership and have made clear they are in no rush to bail out the association with antitrust protection. “The NCAA collusion machine, designed to keep college athletes impoverished so the billions in profits can be kept for a small cabal of insiders, is finally starting to crumble to pieces,” Murphy tweeted after the Supreme Court decision was announced. Jay Bilas, the former Duke basketball player, ESPN analyst and vocal NCAA critic, said it is inevitable that players will eventually be paid now that the Supreme Court has called it “a serial antitrust violator.” Bilas, who also has a law degree, said collective bargaining with the players provides the best path forward for college sports. Green, Washington’s Bradley Beal, Boston’s Jayson Tatum, Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Portland’s Damian Lillard.

He vowed that the vote was the “starting gun” and not the last time voting rights would be up for debate. Whatever Democrats decide, they will likely be confronted with the same challenge they faced Tuesday when minority Republicans used the filibuster — the same tool that Democrats employed during Donald Trump’s presidency — to block consideration of the bill. Republicans showed no sign of yielding. Republican leader Mitch McConnell called the bill a “a solution looking for a problem” and vowed to “put an end to it.” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz dismissed it as “partisan legislation, written by elected Democrats, designed to keep elected Democrats in office.” And, more graphically, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito called the bill “a despicable, disingenuous attempt to strip states of their constitutional right to administer elections” that “should never come close to reaching the president’s desk.” (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN 127,&( 72 %,''(56 Sealed bids will be received by the Gallipolis Township Trustees of Gallia County, Ohio, at their office 1120 State Route, Gallipolis, Ohio until 4:00pm., Eastern Standard Time on the 12th day of July, 2021, for the furnishing of all services, labor, equipment, and materials required for the slip repair on Brentwood Drive, just off of State Route 160, Gallipolis Township, approximately 2 miles west of the City of Gallipolis, Gallia County.

But he’s also is trying to boost progressives’ efforts to reform policing, following a year of mass demonstrations and public anguish sparked by the killing by police of George Floyd and other Black people across the country. While combating crime and overhauling the police don’t have to be at odds with each other, the two efforts are increasingly billed that way. Biden will try to do both at once, according to senior administration officials who detailed his upcoming address on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it. Republicans quickly tried to portray the measures as government overreach and linked it to efforts to rein in policing. at play, and Biden’s plan shows how few options the Democratic Associated Press president has on the issue.

A bill pending in the Ohio House would exempt school employees from the training requirement. Parents maintain the state appeals court made the correct decision, saying state law is clear that schools can’t permit the arming of employees who don’t go through police officer training. The parents “are concerned about the tragic ers into police officers, or police officers into teachers,” lawyers for the district argued in a September filing. “This is both entirely impractical and demonstrably wrong as a matter of statutory construction.” A message was left with the district’s attorney office Wednesday.
