The wall is a threequarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and travels the country with a mobile Education Center, according to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund website. Athens County Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Boone Troyer said the travelling wall gives those who cannot go to D.C. an opportunity to see a lifesized replica of the real memorial. Lt. Col. (Ret.) Terry St. Peter, director of the Ohio University Veterans and Military Student Services Center, said he is excited to see the Wall That Heals coming back to Athens. “I was simply in awe with the emotional response from many of the veterans that visited the wall during the last visit to Athens. It provided a chance to pay respect to family and friends lost during the war,” St. Peter said. “The See WALL | 8 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, July 1, 2021 OBITUARIES GALLIA, MEIGS COMMUNITY BRIEFS Editor’s Note: Gallia Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

Rodriguez SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California added five more states, including Florida and West Virginia, to the list of places where state-funded travel is banned because of laws that discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community, the state attorney general announced Monday. Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta added Florida, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia to the list that now has 17 states where state employee travel is forbidden except under limited circumstances. “Make no mistake: We’re in the midst of an unprecedented wave of bigotry and discrimination in this country — and the State of California is not going to support it,” Bonta said. Lawmakers in 2016 banned non-essential travel to states with laws that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The 12 other states on the list are: Texas, Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee. The five states newly added to the list have introduced bills in their legislatures this year that prevent transgender women and girls from partici- pating in school sports consistent with their gender identity. North Dakota signed into law a bill allowing certain publiclyfunded student organizations to restrict LGBTQ students from joining without losing funding. Arkansas passed the first law in the nation to prohibit physicians from providing gender-affirming healthcare to transgender minors — regardless of the wishes of parents or whether a physician deems such care to be medically necessary. These lawmakers “would rather demonize trans youth than focus on solving real issues like tackling gun ON THE LIST Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta added Florida, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia to the list that now has 17 states where state employee travel is forbidden except under limited circumstances. pating in school sports consistent with their gender identity, block access to health care and allow the discrimination of the LGBTQ community, Bonta said.

The state law has exemptions for some trips, such as travel needed to enforce California law and to honor contracts signed before the states were added to the list. Travel to conferences or out-of-state training are examples of trips that can be blocked. It’s unclear what effect California’s travel ban will have. Bonta did not have information about how many state agencies have stopped sending state employees to the states on the list or the financial impact of California’s travel ban on those states. Sen. Portman still champions bipartisanship, against tide By Dan Sewell Associated Press CINCINNATI — For a moment this past week, it was like the old days in Washington. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, smiled as he announced a bipartisan deal. He turned to and put his hand on Republican Sen. Rob Portman’s shoulder, a gesture meant to signal a closeness. But Portman, a three-decade Washington veteran who plans to retire next year, stayed tightlipped. “I wasn’t smiling because look, I’m all for bipartisanship, but I’m also not naive,” Portman told The Associated Press Friday, during a break in a daylong series of calls about the infrastructure deal announced Thursday. “I also knew that the package … had a long way to go.” The Ohio senator said he wasn’t surprised when the hardwon breakthrough started to sink. Republicans complained Biden had blindsided them by tying passage of the agreement to a larger companion package being negotiated by Democrats. Portman has reason for the pessimism. He has watched in his low-key manner as his party took a hard right turn under President Donald Trump and Washington drifted away from bipartisan governing. He announced in January he would not seek a third term, saying it had become too hard to get things done. But Portman has been trying. He worked through the night repeatedly as the lead Republican negotiator in a bipartisan group on the effort to fix the nation’s bridges, roads, and ports, sometimes hosting sessions in a hideaway in the Senate basement. For him and a handful of other lawmakers, the talks have become something of a test of whether Washington can still work. “If we can’t find it on infrastructure, I don’t know where else we can find it,” Portman said. “I hate to say that and I don’t mean to be negative, but this should be relatively easy.” In the wide-ranging interview, Portman insisted he’s not giving up on passing infrastructure legislation and he reflected on why he voted for Trump. —on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection: “It was a bad night for not just the Capitol and for the people trying to count the votes properly, but for democracy. The rest of the world looked at that and said ‘Wow! Is America as strong as it used to be that they would allow this sort of thing?’ We’ve got to get our act together and make sure that it never happens again.” Portman supported the creation of an independent commission to investigate the riot, but other Republican senators blocked the move. —on Trump: “I voted for Donald Trump because I thought he had the right policies. … I still believe that the policies, the overwhelming majority of them, were good for the country.” He said Trump restored military strength and led “an unbelievable” economic success. “So there was a lot of good stuff going on.” As he has for years, Portman repeatedly steered clear of any direct criticism of Trump, who on Saturday night in Ohio was holding his first campaign-style event since leaving the White House in January. Trump continues to obsess over his ongoing efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, which he insists he won, even though top election officials, his own attorney general and numerous judges have said there is no evidence of the mass voter fraud he alleges. Portman made clear that he said “that once the election is over, you know, we’ve got to move on. And I gave the president all the room necessary to do the recounts, to bring the court cases, to see what the resolution was, but once the states certified, once that whole process was done, then it’s time for us to acknowledge that you know, we were not successful as Republicans. We came close, but we weren’t successful, not at the presidential level. —on Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez from the Cleveland area, under attack from Trump and other Republicans for voting to impeach Trump for his role in the Capitol riot. Portman voted to acquit Trump in the Senate trial. Portman said the congressman is “a Republican who’s been effective in getting things passed. I disagree with him on his impeachment vote, but that’s not a reason for me to to want him to be out of the Republican Party.” —on Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, facing primary opposition in 2022: “That’s the way it is these days. I think Mike DeWine has done a good job in dealing with a really difficult situation. I don’t agree with every decision he made in regard to COVID; this COVID issue is really hard to deal with.” Portman said he is watching closely the primary race to succeed him, but doesn’t know whether he will make an endorsement from “a crowded field” that includes former state Treasurer Josh Mandel and former state GOP chair Jane Timken, among others, and is expected to soon be joined by “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance. Portman, who served under Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, said he looks forward to returning to Ohio full time to be with his wife, Jane, and his family and to work in the private sector.

In earning his second career MVP honor Tuesday, the Edmonton Oilers captain wished his team was still playing. “We had a special group this year, and obviously we didn’t do what we wanted to do,” McDavid said, referring to the Oilers being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Winnipeg Jets. “But it was still so fun to be a part of, and get the fans of Edmonton excited again for what’s to come,” he added. “We had so many guys take the next step, and I’m just part of that. If we’re all continuing to do that, we’re going to go and do some special things in this league.” McDavid became just the second unanimous Hart Trophy selection — joining Wayne Gretzky in 1982 — in receiving all 100 first-place votes from members of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association. The 24-year-old doubled up on honors by also winning his third Ted Lindsay Award as the league’s most outstanding player, which is voted on by NHL players. The NHL presented its awards remotely for a second consecutive season because of the coronavirus pandemic, and a day after Tampa Bay opened the Stanley Cup Final series with a 5-1 win over Montreal. In previous years, the awards ceremony was held in Las Vegas after the playoffs, and with an audience and players present. McDavid, who also won MVP honors in 2017, led the way, much like he did during a regular season in which he had already won his third Art Ross Trophy in six years for leading the NHL with 105 points (33 goals, 72 assists) in 56 games. The next closest player in the points standings was teammate Leon Draisaitl with 84, with Boston’s Brad Marchand a distant third with 69. Toronto’s Auston Matthews finished second in the MVP voting, followed by Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon. Vegas’ Marc-Andre Fleury beat out Tampa Bay’s Andrei Vasilevskiy and Colorado’s Philipp Grubauer to win his first Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s goalie of the year. The Golden Knights tandem of Fleury and Robin Lehner already won the William M. Jennings Trophy, for combining to allow an NHL-low 124 goals this season. The 36-year-old Fleury finished third in the NHL with 26 wins, a 1.98 goals-against, .928 save percentage and six shutouts in 36 games. He also closed the season with a nine-game winning streak, while moving into third place on the NHL career list with 492 wins. New York Rangers’ Adam Fox won the Jack Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman, beating out Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman and Colorado’s Cale Makar. The 23-year-old Fox led NHL defensemen with 42 assists and second with 47 points. He also ranked seventh among skaters in ice-time. Fox became the second player to win the Norris in his second season, joining Bobby Orr winning in 1968.

The NCAA is quarterbacks and point on board with the idea of guards at high-profile schools. reforming its NIL rules, Associated Press Athletic accomplishment is only a small piece of the puzzle. In a world where anybody with a smart phone can be a content creator, the Cavinders’ TikTok videos that often combine dancing and basketball have really caught on. As the views and followers started piling up into the millions, Haley and Hanna found out their videos could have value way beyond family bonding during quarantine. Icon Source, a company that connects brands and athletes through an app, said wireless communications brand Boost Mobile plans to offer a deal to the Cavinders on Thursday. “We have discovered you can, like, monetize all your accounts and you can create a profit off them, and then partnering with brands is really a cool, eye-opening thing,” Hanna said over a Zoom call from their home in Gilbert, Arizona. “We never knew that could be a thing,” Haley added. Blake Lawrence is the CEO of Opendorse, one of a handful of companies working with dozens of schools on NIL programming and education. He said the estimated value of a social media account can be determined by followers. A tweet, for example, can garner $10 per 1,000 followers for the account that posts it. Instagram is closer to $20 per follower, accord- ing to Lawrence. TikTok followers are worth $3-$4 and YouTube followers range from $4-$7. Actual value is ultimately determined by engagement with the post, which companies can measure by likes, comments, retweets and shares. The Cavinders said companies have been in touch but they are cautious. “A lot of brands have reached out, but we obviously cannot work with them because of the rules and eligibility,” Hanna said. The NCAA is close to a stopgap plan that will allow all athletes to be compensated for NIL usage. It is considering waiving its rules against such payments, schools would follow state NIL laws where applicable, and schools would set their own policies in states with no NIL law. All the uncertainty has been a source of worry for the Cavinders’ parents, who fear an eager move by the twins could cost them eligibility. “I know the girls keep saying, ‘Oh, July 1’ and they’re excited, but we still are just like, ‘OK, put on the brakes for a little bit until we make sure that it does get passed,’” Katie Cavinder said.

(AP) — West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice said Tuesday that he hadn’t made up his mind on whether college athletes in the state should be able to earn money off their name, image and likeness. Ohio became the 18th state on Monday to prevent universities or college athletic conferences from punishing athletes if they are compensated based on their sports performance. Republican Gov.

The latest strategy to provide clarity to a dramatic change in NCAA policy came after the Supreme Court on June 21 handed down a ruling that left the association exposed to future legal attacks. In Ohio, DeWine signed his order after schools lobbied for the change in order to remain competitive for recruiting student athletes.
