Edwin Lyman, a nuclear expert with the U.S.-based Union of Concerned Scientists, said it “seems unlikely” a large number of troops would devel- op severe radiation illness, but it was impossible to know for sure without more details. He said contaminated material was probably buried or covered with new topsoil during the cleanup of Chernobyl, and some soldiers may have been exposed to a “hot spot” of radiation while digging. Others may have assumed they were at risk too, he said.

The Ohio House of Representatives recently approved House Bill 482, sponsored by State Representatives Al Cutrona and Jay Edwards, which would create the Tax Fraud Study Commission. The commission could study all types of income tax fraud, but the bill specifically directs it to focus on fraud by taxpayers operating a trade or business, and on fraud related to the misclassification of workers as employees or independent contractors. “Worker misclassification and tax fraud negatively impact everyone from legitimate contractors to the loss of tax revenue that negatively impacts local communities,” said Cutrona (R-Canfield). “It’s important that Ohio workers and taxpayers are treated fairly, and that we bring tax fraud to an end. That’s our goal with this legislation.” This nine-member commission will be bipartisan, with three members each from the House and Senate. It will also have a representative of labor as well as the contractors’ association, along with the state tax commissioner. Within 13 months after the bill’s 90-day effective date, the commission must submit a report discussing its findings and recommendations on the prevention of income tax fraud to the governor and general assembly. After issuing this report, the commission will dissolve. Edwards (R-Nelsonville) said a 2009 report from the attorney general’s office estimated 459,000 workers were misclassified. This meant unemployment insurance losses to Ohio workers of nearly $35 million, forgone state income tax revenue of between $112 million and $223 million annually, and a loss of more than $510 million in Bureau of Workers’ Compensation premiums annually. “This has been an ongoing and growing problem in Ohio,” Edwards said. “But I’m optimistic this commission will be able to take a comprehensive look at the problem and provide thoughtful recommendations to address it.” The bill now goes to the Ohio Senate for consideration.

The officer, Dominic Francis of the Bluffton police department, was struck around 2:30 a.m. while he was setting up stop sticks, which flatten tires, said Sgt. Brice Nihiser of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The chase had reached speeds up to 120 mph (193 kph). Three suspects inside the car drove away for a short distance before they jumped out and ran. One was found nearby while a second one was arrested in a stolen car in Elyria, about 100 miles (161 kilometers) northeast of Bluffton, Nihiser said. A third suspect had been on the run for hours but was taken into custody Thursday afternoon, the patrol said. The search caused schools in the nearby village of Bluffton to cancel classes, and Bluffton University told students to stay in their rooms and advised employees to stay home. I-75 also was shut down while authorities looked through barns, farm fields and around houses. The chase first began near Marion when authorities saw the car going more than 100 mph, Nihiser said. Troopers were unable to make contact with the car, but another trooper spotted it 20 minutes later in Hancock County, he said. Francis, 42, had been an officer in Bluffton the past nine years, said Police Chief Ryan Burkholder. He also worked as a school teacher, bus driver and as a football and softball coach with Cory-Rawson schools. “He had a heart of gold,” Burkholder said.

For instance, “the taught that, though world is passing away heaven and earth would along with its desires (1 pass away, “my words John 2:17; ESV),” And, will not pass away (Mark “the day of the Lord 13:31b).” Similarly, the will come like a thief, in full quote from John, which the heavens will cited above, is, “And the pass away with a roar world is passing away and the elements will be along with its desires, destroyed with intense but whoever does the will heat, and the earth and of God abides forever (1 its works will be burned up (2 Peter 3:10; NAS).” John 2:17; ESV).” “This too shall pass,” On a more individual, is a philosophy true of so personal note, we have several reminders, should much of life, a reminder of the ever-changing we need such, that our nature of the world, but mortal lives are ethereal in nature, being here fore it is not true of all things, a moment and then soon and we should be ever mindful of those things gone. of which it is not true. “What is your life?” Material things will pass, asks James, “For you but man is more than a are a mist that appears material creature.

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:1718; ESV).” God is unchanging and eternal. The word of God is unchanging and eternal. The soul of man will likewise outlast this physical world, and the salvation that Jesus provides to those who trust in Him and obey Him is everlasting. Hence why the Bible describes this salvation as, “eternal life (Matthew 25:46).” Also why judgment is described as, “eternal punishment.” Considering all this, it seems true that, as a whole, men spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on that which is transient, and almost no time preparing for that which is eternal. Which is logically and rationally backwards from what it should be. Jesus didn’t die so that men would have more years on a world destined for judgment and destruction. He died so that their sins could be forgiven, and they could focus on those things which were eternal in nature, preparing themselves for the resurrection and a body which would not pass away (cf. 1 Corinthians 15:50-53). He died and rose from the dead as a reminder that while this life must come to an end, there is that which will not pass away, and through His salvation we too can have eternal life. It is this life, the one which will not pass, for which we should labor (cf. John 6:27). Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ.

Did you know that the old Harris Colored Church was burned down by brigadier general John Hunt Morgan during the Civil War and this took place across the old 554 bridge which runs right across through our family home place at the intersection of State route 554 and tycoon lake road did you know that there was so much confusion about the addresses of that area and it still is, the area around State route 554 and tycoon lake is called Harrisburg to this day and during the Civil War both sides of the raccoon Creek on the old bridge was called Harrisburg but the address was Bidwell post office and our children went to Rio Grande School that is one of the complication that we dealt with and getting the real history of the Civil War in Ohio. You may learn more about the Civil War in Ohio in this area from my book all over this land. You can find that book in the Shaker heights library in Shaker heights Ohio. It is important to notice that we have confusion on the addresses of these areas because that area is still referred to as Harrisburg and the addresses are Bidwell and the children go to Rio Grande School. I’m just saying the reason it was very difficult to get the real information about the Civil War in Ohio was because of the addresses of the post office were so difficult to find. But we were able to get the information from the governor office in Columbus from the office of the governor of the sitting Governor during the Civil War and from the paperwork of a brigadier general John Hunt Morgan and from the records of the New Hope Baptist Church and from the people themselves who gave and have historic documents of that time period. You probably didn’t think about it but during the Civil War we had the telegraph and that was a plus in military strategies for the Union army. My book all over this land focuses on the Civil War in Gallipolis and Gallia county but emraces The History of the United States from the landing of Ponce de Leon in Florida to the end of the Barack Obama administration. I encourage you to read as much as you can about the Civil War and how your ancestors play the part in establishing the one nation under God which came out of this war, I lost relatives on both sides of the war my family consisted of Union soldiers as well as Confederate soldiers so sad family was fighting family and belonging to the same Nation. This is not history today this is history of yesterday but we are The descendants of those who died and we give praise to God himself and in the words of President Lincoln he said God would cause this war to turn out right his thoughts action and Hope was freedom would be forever upon this Land. Let us today make that come true. Nellie Ruby Taylor. Author of All over this land with contributing authors Paul LaRue, Nathan Kirk, and Penny Pletikapich. A very good resource to find this information to be true with the President Abraham Lincoln library. The historic marker at New Hope Baptist Church at the intersection of State route 554 and tycoon lake road was placed there by you and American people to remind us of the price we paid to be free and that our God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was with us so let us give thanks.

But in the Kyiv suburbs, regional governor Oleksandr Palviuk said on social media Thursday that Russian forces shelled Irpin and Makariv and that there were battles around Hostomel. Pavliuk said there were Ukrainian counterattacks and some Russian withdrawals around the suburb of Brovary to the east. Chernihiv came under attack as well. At least one person was killed and four were wounded in the Russian shelling of a humanitarian convoy of buses sent to Chernihiv to evacuate residents cut off from food, water and other supplies, said Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Lyudmyla Denisova Ukraine also reported Russian artillery barrages in and around the northeastern city of Kharkiv. NATO SecretaryGeneral Jens Stoltenberg said intelligence indicates Russia is not scaling back its military operations in Ukraine but is instead trying to regroup, resupply its forces and reinforce its offensive in the Donbas. “Russia has repeatedly lied about its intentions,” Stoltenberg said. At the same time, he said, pressure is being kept up on Kyiv and other cities, and “we can expect additional offensive actions bringing even more suffering.” The Donbas is the predominantly Russianspeaking industrial region where Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian forces since 2014. In the past few days, the Kremlin, in a seeming shift in its war aims, said that its “main goal” now is gaining control of the Donbas, which consists of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, including Mariupol. The top rebel leader in Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, issued an order to set up (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN a rival city government for Mariupol, according to Russian state news agencies, in a sign of Russian intent to hold and administer the city. The Red Cross, meanwhile, said its teams were headed for Mariupol with medical supplies and other relief and hoped to take civilians out of the beleaguered city, the site of some of the worst suffering of the war. Tens of thousands have managed to get out of Mariupol in the past few weeks by way of humanitarian corridors, reducing its population from a prewar 430,000 to an estimated 100,000 as of last week, but other efforts to relieve the city have been thwarted by continued Russian attacks. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said 45 buses would be sent to collect civilians from the encircled and bombarded city, where food, water, medicine and fuel were running low. “It’s desperately important that this operation takes place,” the Red Cross said in a statement. “The Ohio Valley Publishing lives of tens of thousands of people in Mariupol depend on it.” With talks set to resume between Ukraine and Russia via video, there seemed little faith that the two sides would resolve the conflict any time soon. Russian President Vladimir Putin said that conditions weren’t yet “ripe” for a cease-fire and that he wasn’t ready for a meeting with Zelenskyy until negotiators do more work, Italian Premier Mario Draghi said after a telephone conversation with the Russian leader. In other developments, Ukraine’s emergency services said the death toll had risen to 20 in a Russian missile strike Tuesday on a government administration building in the southern city of Mykolaiv. As Western officials search for clues about what Russia’s next move might be, a top British intelligence official said demoralized Russian soldiers in Ukraine are refusing to carry out orders and sabotaging their equipment and had accidentally shot down their own aircraft.

Box 325 Gallipolis, OH 45631 Telephone: 740-446-1652 FAX: 740-446-6382 CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Demoralized Russian soldiers in Ukraine were refusing to carry out orders and sabotaging their own equipment and had accidentally shot down their own aircraft, a U.K. intelligence chief said on Thursday. Jeremy Fleming, who heads the GCHQ electronic spy agency, made the remarks at a speech in the Australian capital Canberra. Russian President Vladimir Putin had apparently “massively misjudged” the invasion, he said. “It’s clear he misjudged the resistance of the Ukrainian people. He underestimated the strength of the coalition his actions would galvanize. He underplayed the economic consequences of the sanctions regime, and he overestimated the abilities of his military to secure a rapid victory,” Fleming said. “We’ve seen Russian soldiers, short of weapons and morale, refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft,” Fleming added. Although Putin’s advisers were believed to be too afraid to tell the truth, the “extent of these misjudgments must be crystal clear to the regime,” he said. Fleming warned that the Kremlin was hunting for cyber targets and bringing in mercenaries to shore up its stalled military campaign in Ukraine. He praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s “information operation” for being highly effective at countering Russia’s massive disinformation drive spreading propaganda about the war. While there were expectations that Russia would launch a major cyberattack as part of its military campaign, Fleming said such a move was never a central part of Moscow’s standard playbook for war.

UK SPY CHIEF SAYS RUSSIAN SOLDIERS DISOBEY ORDERS No phone calls please �SPORTS/WEATHER Ohio Valley Publishing Cupps legendary Dave Zeller – and Gabe would eat it up. “I had a giant sticker board in my room and I put all the stickers I got on it so I could keep track,” Gabe Cupps said. “It was setting mini-goals for me and I think that helped develop my passion.” It is a passion that has carried over to the Breakfast Club. Every morning, Cupps - and a lot of his teammates - are in the gym by themselves getting up shots. He has not missed one since before he was in junior high even though it starts at 5:30 a.m. “I am not thinking about the hours of sleep I am missing,” Cupps said. “I am thinking about of it as an opportunity to work and get better.” Gratefulness to grittiness. That is why the Indiana commit often leaves the court with new bruises from diving out of bounds to save balls, hits the floor to get loose balls and takes pride in drawing a charge on the defensive end of the floor. “What he struggles with is people who don’t do that,” Brook Cupps said. “When he was being recruited, a lot of the coaches talked to him about that and how much they loved that passion to play the game.” The award caps off a year that saw Cupps become the fourth player in Elks history to go over 1,000 points. He also set the school career assist record, helped lead the team to 45 straight wins and made the rounds of college visits before picking Indiana over a final three that included Stanford and the Ohio From page 7 Cupps moved to Centerville in the third grade when his father – Brook – became the head coach of the Elks, but kept the same hard-nosed work ethic. Not to mention that gratefulness that lead to grittiness. “The reason I play so hard is because of how grateful I am for the game,” Cupps said. “What if I was never able to play the game the way I can? How lucky am I to be able to play the game and to play something I love so much? “I know it is cliché, but that’s why I play every game like it is my last game, my last practice, my last shot, my last pass, my last dribble. I am just grateful to be able to do something I love so much.” Cupps jokes his family says he is a competition addict. He loves the game within the game. And, if he’s playing, he’s playing to win. “It doesn’t matter if it is checkers or horse in the backyard, or a basketball game” Brook Cupps said. “He’s not joking and I think that translates to how he plays.” As a child, Cupps would go to the basement and work on dribbling with his left hand, then his right hand. He would pick a spot on the wall and challenge himself to have 50 straight good passes to that spot with his left hand and his right hand. Brook would reward him with a sticker – something he picked up from when he played at Graham for the Vinton County, 5-9, Sr., 13.0; Reico Colter, Wash.

The Meigs baseball team built a 6-0 lead through three innings and ultimately cruised to a season opening 11-2 victory over visiting Eastern in a non-conference matchup of Meigs County programs. The host Marauders (1-0) established a 3-0 edge after one inning of play and tacked on another 3-run outburst in the third, but the Eagles (2-1) countered with a run in both the fourth and sixth frames to close back to within 6-2. MHS, however, answered with five scores in the home half of the sixth for a 9-run advantage, then the guests went down in order in the seventh to complete Martin’s first varsity victory as Meigs head coach. The Maroon and Gold outhit EHS by a 10-7 overall margin, with the guests also committing the only error of the contest.

The Super Bowl champions announced the deal Thursday for Wagner, who became one of the NFL’s top linebackers during a decade with the Seattle Seahawks. ESPN reported Wagner’s deal is worth $50 million. The Seahawks released the six-time All-Pro anchor of their defense on March 9. Just over three weeks later, Wagner agreed to join their NFC West rivals, providing the force at inside linebacker that the Rams have lacked for several seasons. Wagner was born in Los Angeles, and he graduated from high school in suburban Ontario, California. Wagner joins receiver Allen Robinson as the most prominent offseason additions to the Rams, who have once again proven their adeptness at fitting stars within the salary cap. 6-4, so., 24.0; Justin Ackerman, New Richmond, 6-4, sr., 18.0; JaeSean Martin, Cincinnati Hughes, 5-9, sr., 19.5; Kelsie Frye, Cincinnati Woodward, 6-6, sr., 7.2; Darian Leslie, Dayton Dunbar, 6-0, sr., 12.2; Chris Mitchell, Bexley, 6-5, sr., 14.3; Cole Rhett, Watterson, 6-6, sr., 12.0; Jared Rose, Bloom-Carroll, 6-3, sr., 14.8; Troy Scowden, Buckeye Valley, 6-7, sr., 14.0; Carson Smith, River Valley, 6-4, so., 19.2; James Kosmides, Chagrin Falls, 6-5, jr., 11.4; Aidan Fitzgerald, Mentor Lake Catholic, 6-3, jr., 16.5; Sam Houk, Bay Village Bay, 6-3, sr., 19.0; Christian Pataky, LaGrange Keystone, 6-3, sr., 13.9; Brandon Rose, Gates Mills Gilmour Academy, 6-3, jr., 14.4; Noah Clarke, Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph, 6-2, sr., 16.5; Avery Young, Sheffield Brookside, 5-10, jr., 16.5; Nathan Walker, New Concord John Glenn, 6-3, jr., 16.5; Avery Henry, St. Clairsville, 6-7, sr., 16.3; Skylar Pappas, Lisbon Beaver, 5-10, sr., 15.8; Darick Miller, Carrollton, 6-4, sr., 15.2; Brenten Jones, Steubenville, 6-3 sr., 14.1; Lucas Hagan, Gnadenhutten Indian Valley, 6-0, sr., 14.0; Zavea Green, East Liverpool, 6-6, sr., 13.5; Ty Smith, Dresden Tri-Valley, 6-0 sr., 11.0. 1 0-2 Low; 3-4 Moderate; 5-6 High; 7-8 Very High; 9-10 Extreme LB Bobby Wagner agrees to 5-year deal with Rams John Cummings is a sports writer for the Centerville Dispatch and Miami Valley Newspapers, and also provided this story on behalf of the OPSWA.

In all, it has been a surreal year. “I never really thought it would happen,” Cupps said. “I wanted to go Division I and I was going to work as hard as I could to make that happen. “It shows that you can still get what your goal is and that for all that hard work, you get something for it.” The work is his home.

Watching him from the time he was working on dribbling with his left hand in the basement as a child to being in the gym at 5:30 a.m. the day after dropping the state title game this year, he has no doubt it will never leave. “Work is home base for him,” Brook Cupps said. “If something is going good for him, it is because of the work he put in. If things are going bad, he will be in there because he wants to get better. “It’s his mindset. It’s what he does.” And, it is a mindset he will take into next season when he has new wingmen after fellow first teamers Tom House and Rich Rolf head off to college. “I am just going to work as hard as I can,” Cupps said. “I am going to let the game play out the way it can, but it is another opportunity for me to play the game I love. “I don’t have to prove anything to anybody, I am just going to play as hard as I can.” EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM 45° Friday, April 1, 2022 9 Elizabeth 47/26 Spencer 46/27 Buffalo 47/28 Ironton 49/31 Milton 48/28 St. Albans 48/28 Huntington 49/31 NATIONAL FORECAST 110s Seattle 100s 54/42 90s 80s 70s Billings 60s 54/32 50s 40s 30s 20s San Francisco 10s 64/49 Denver 0s 57/31 -0s -10s Los Angeles 70/54 T-storms Rain El Paso Showers 80/50 Snow Flurries Chihuahua Ice 84/49 Cold Front Warm Front Monterrey 84/69 Stationary Front Clendenin 47/27 Charleston 49/28 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

LaRose has two primary challengers who believe the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. LaRose has made conflicting statements about the presence of fraud in U.S. elections. Republican secretary of state from Kentucky who has been outspoken against the efforts to delegitimize the 2020 presidential results, said some of the incumbent GOP secretaries need room to maneuver politically so they can defeat opponents within their own party who might seek to undermine fair elections if they win. “These are guardians of democracy,” he said. “Their opponents are people who don’t show respect for the law or evidence or the vote- EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL HONOR ROLL REEDSVILLE — Eastern High School recently announced the thrid quarter honor roll, including the following students: All “A” Honor Roll — 12th grade: Austin Bable, Dustin Davis, Jayden Evans, Cydnie Gillilan, Cami Jones, Lecia Leasure, Megan Maxon, Brielle Newland, Colin Parsons, Isaiah Reed, Ryan Ross; 11th grade: Jace Bullington, Juli Durst, Sierra Smith, Brady Yonker; 10th grade: Haylie Brewer, Emma Edwards, Kasey Rankin, Olivia Wood; 9th grade: Cooper Barnett, Delanie Brooks, Owen Davis, Danielle Epple, William Gaddis, Haylen Knapp, Anita Moore, Cassium Powell, Joseph Putman, Kayla Sellers, Gavin Smith, Rylan Weeks, Addison Well.

They are willing to ignore counts, willing to ignore safeguards we have in the system. In some cases, they are just making stuff up.” Trump’s false claims have led to restrictive voting laws in Republican-controlled states, partisan election reviews, voting system security breaches and now a wave of candidates seeking to take over election administration at the state and local levels. In addition to Ohio, Republican secretaries of state in Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota are seeking to remain in office. Only Iowa’s Paul Pate is running unopposed. In Alabama, Idaho, Nevada and North Dakota, the GOP incumbents have opted against seeking reelection or are term-limited, leaving open contests. Wyoming Secretary of State Edward Buchanan has yet to announce his plans. Democratic secretaries are running to keep their seats in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico and Washington. So far, only one has drawn a Democratic challenger. The job of secretary of state has tended to attract candidates focused more on process than politics. The races are typically low-key contests overshadowed by campaigns for governor and state attorney general. That changed after Trump disputed his loss and decided to target election officials in political battleground states, sometimes pressuring them to reverse his loss. In one instance, Trump made a phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he asked Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to overturn Biden’s win. Raffensperger didn’t cede to Trump’s demands and has defended Georgia’s election in a re-election bid this year where he faces three primary challengers. He has sought to counter them by touting his conservative credentials, downplaying differences with Trump and wooing primary voters with a call to ban non-citizen voting. He also has pointed to his efforts to include a photo ID requirement for mail ballots as part of a sweeping election bill passed by lawmakers last year. At a recent rally in Georgia, Trump blasted Raffensperger as a “lousy secretary of state.” In an interview, Raffensperger said he has been working to counter the continuing misinformation and disinformation campaigns.
