Present during the meeting were Mayor Fred Hoffman, councilmembers Shawn Arnott, Brian Conde, Larry Byer, Matt Lyons, and Ben Reed. Also present were Fiscal Officer Susan Baker, Assistant Fiscal Officer Margie Baker-Keilitz, Building Inspector Mike Hendrickson, Supervisor Joe Powell, Chief Water Operator Andy Blank, Police Chief Mony Wood and Village Attorney Richard Hedges. Hoffman read Susan Page’s resignation from council in which she stated that various circumstances and family issues made it too difficult for her to put the time and effort in it that she felt she should. Both Hoffman and council felt she had done a good job and appreciated her service. Council voted to accept her resignation. Minutes of the May 23 meeting and minutes of the utility committee meeting on June 1 were approved, along with approval on the payment of current bills. Jim Hudson appeared before council to ask if council had made any decision on his water bill. Hoffman said the utility committee had discussed his bill and asked Larry Byer, Chairman, to respond to Hudson. Byer said due to the time period that far back and various circumstances that were in the village rules on water service, that the committee felt that no payment would be made to Hudson as he had requested since this was not in line with village policy on water bills. Hudson thanked council for their investigation and said this would open up other resources or actions, which he may take. Mary Wise said the fireworks donations had been very good and that the goal would be achieved. She said the fireworks committee would present a final report to council at the next meeting. Hoffman distributed to council a fact sheet regarding the new Middleport Community Reinvestment Area, outlining procedures to apply and said applicants may apply beginning June 15 in Mike Hendrickson’s office. Hoffman said June 20 is a new federal holiday called Juneteenth and is not listed on the village list of holidays. He recommended that it be included in our holiday list and council approved this. Hoffman passed along a note from Tim Smith stating Chris Smith had donated the work in doing all the new sidewalk in the uptown park and requested that he be sent a ‘thank you’ note. Hoffman said he did this. Hoffman said in early May, EPA had rejected a change order to pave Fairlane Drive, two alleys, and Diamond street. Hoffman said these areas had been totally demolished by the water project. He said the construction company sent before and after pictures to EPA and that Hoffman personally contacted Sarah Wallace of EPA and asked for them to reconsider this decision. Hoffman said it was reconsidered and on June 6 approval was given to use project contingency funds for this paving. Hoffman said he had submitted a request to Rep. Jay Edwards asking that $40,000 be put in the State Capital Budget for Middleport parks. He said Edwards had done this and the mayor and council expressed their appreciation to Edwards for this. Hoffman said this is usually done through a contract with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and should be coming to us in the near future. Hoffman said the Meigs County Commissioners had offered the village $40,000 for the old village hall property on Race St. and North Third Avenue and recommended accepting the offer because the See COUNCIL | 10 Wednesday, June 22, 2022 s 50¢ Library kicks off summer Courtesy photos Meigs OSU Extension program assistant Jilli Davis brought the SNAP-ED program’s focus on eating a variety of healthy foods and colors to the Meigs County Library’s Summer Kickoff in Racine. Reading program offers fun in Meigs County By Lorna Hart ldhart@aimmediamidwest.com MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County District Public Library kicked off its Summer Reading Program “Oceans of Possibilities” earlier this month at the Library’s Racine branch. Some activities have already taken place, but there are plenty of additional opportunities to participate, including Barker Farms Petting Zoo, Discovery Lab Jr., Columbus Zoo, Summer Reading Pool Party, and ongoing weekly programs Wiggle Giggle Read and Story Time. Bagged lunches will be served at each children’s program throughout the summer. Adults are also invited to explore programs that encourage current interests, and offer opportunities to learn new ones. Monthly book clubs and acoustic jam sessions See SUMMER | 10 Ohio church hosts grief support group By Luke Blain lblain@aimmediamidwest.com MIDDLEPORT, Ohio — Middleport Church of Christ has been hosting support groups to help people learn to process grief. The group is led by Teri Hockman, Middleport Baptist Church’s office administrator. “It’s just a place where you could find other people that are dealing with the same thing and people that care and can listen to your story,” Hockman said in an interview. “So it’s a good thing. The people that have gone through it have enjoyed it.” The support group operates through a curriculum offered by GriefShare, a national organization that offers many resources to help people through the grieving process. Middleport Church of Christ started the group in January and their first 13-week cycle of classes ended in April. They are currently in the middle of the second cycle of classes. A big aspect of the class is the opportunity to share and listen with other people going through similar experiences. “They can express their grief and not be told, ‘OK, you’ve been upset for long enough, you should be moving on,’” Hockman said. “Hearing other people’s stories that have gone farther in their grief journey (also helps).” Hockman said she was inspired to start the group after the loss of her brother in December of 2019. Her sister-in-law went through a GriefShare course. “So that just made me think, OK, you know, there’s nothing like that here,” Hockman said. “And I felt like there was a need [for that].” Hockman tried to start the group in early 2020, but was unable to do so because of the pandemic. She said that COVID-19 emphasized the need for a program like GriefShare. “With people passing from COVID, there just seemed like there was a big need,” Hockman said. The Church has been spreading the word of the course by word of mouth, advertisements and brochures in local funeral homes.

The panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol resumed with a focus on Trump’s efforts to undo Joe Biden’s victory in the most local way — by leaning on officials in key battleground states to reject ballots outright or to submit alternative electors for the final tally in Congress. The pressure was fueled by the defeated president’s false claims of voter fraud which, the panel says, led directly to the riot at the Capitol. Chairman Bennie Thompson declared, “A handful of election officials in several key states stood between Donald Trump and the upending of American democracy.” The hearing opened with chilling accounts of the barrage of verbal attacks facing state and local elected officials, including Arizona’s Republican House speaker Rusty Bowers who said he was subject to a “disturbing” smear campaign online, bull-horn protests at his home and a pistolwielding man taunting his family and neighbors. Bowers walked through an account of being called by Trump on a Sunday after returning from church when the defeated president laid out his proposal to have the state replace its electors for Joe Biden with those favoring Jacquelyn Martin | AP Rusty Bowers, Arizona state House Speaker, from left, Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State, and Gabe Sterling, Georgia Deputy Secretary of State, are sworn in to testify Tuesday as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol continues to reveal its findings of a year-long investigation, at the Capitol in Washington. Trump. “I said, Look, you’re asking me to do something that is counter to my oath,” Bowers testified before the committee. Bowers insisted on seeing Trump’s evidence of voter fraud, which he said Trump’s team never produced beyond vague allegations. He recalled Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani at one point told him, “’We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence.’” Trump wanted Bowers to hold a hearing at the state Capitol, but the Republican leader said there was already a “circus” atmosphere over the election. The panel showed video footage of protesters at the Arizona state house including a key figure, the horned-hat wearing Jacob Chansley, who was later arrested at the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Trump nevertheless pressed the Arizona official, including in a follow-up call, suggesting he expected a better response from a fellow Republican. But Bowers testified under oath that because of his faith, including a belief the U.S. Constitution is divinely inspired, what the president was asking him to do was “foreign to my very being.” Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, the panel’s vice chair, embraced Bowers during a break in the hearing. She implored Americans to pay attention to the evidence being presented, declaring, “Donald Trump didn’t care about the threats of violence. He did not condemn them, he made no effort to stop them.” “We cannot let America become a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence.” The public hearing, the fourth by the panel this month, stemmed from its yearlong investigation into Trump’s unprecedented attempt to remain in power, a sprawling scheme that the chairman of the Jan. 6 committee has likened to an “attempted coup.” Thompson, D-Miss., pointed to recent election disputes in New Mexico and said, “The danger hasn’t gone away. It’s corrupting our democratic institutions.” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger testified about Trump’s phone call asking him to “find 11,780” votes that could flip his state to prevent Biden’s election victory. Raffensperger and his deputy Gabe Sterling were key witnesses, along with Wandrea “Shay” Moss, a former Georgia election worker who, with her mother, has said they faced such severe public harassment from Trump allies they felt unable to live normal lives. While the committee cannot charge Trump with any crimes, the Justice Department is watching the panel’s work closely. Trump’s actions in Georgia are also the subject of a grand jury investigation, with the district attorney expected to announce findings this year. Trump defended himself on social media, describing his phone call to Raffensperger as “perfect,” similar to the way falsely spread allegations that she and her mother engaged in ballot fraud during the election. The case against OAN has since been dismissed with a settlement. The select committee also worked to untangle the elaborate “fake electors” scheme that sought to have representatives in as many as seven battlegrounds — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico — sign certificates falsely stating that Trump, not Biden, had won their states. Conservative law professor John Eastman, a lawyer for Trump, pushed the fake electors in the weeks after the election. Trump and Eastman convened hundreds of electors on a call on Jan. 2, 2021, encouraging them to send alternative slates from their states where Trump’s team was claiming fraud. The fake electors idea was designed to set up a challenge on Jan. 6, 2021, when Congress met in joint session, with Vice President Mike Pence presiding over what is typically a ceremonial role to accept the states’ vote tallies. But the effort collapsed, as Pence refused Trump’s repeated demands that he simply halt the certification of Biden’s win — a power he believed he did not possess in his purely ceremonial role. At least 20 people in connection with the fake electors scheme were subpoenaed by the House panel. The committee says it will also show that it has gathered enough evidence through its more than 1,000 interviews and tens of thousands of documents to connect the varying efforts to overturn the election directly to Trump. he described his 2020 call with Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskyy that resulted in his first impeachment. During the call, days before the Jan. 6 attack, Trump repeatedly cited disproven claims of fraud and raised the prospect of a “criminal offense” if Georgia officials did not change the state’s count. The state had counted its votes three times before certifying Biden’s win by a margin of 11,779. The public testimony from Raffensperger came weeks after he appeared before a special grand jury in Georgia investigating whether Trump and others illegally tried to intervene in the state’s 2020 election, and after Raffensperger beat a Trump-backed challenger in last month’s primary election. Sterling, Raffensperger’s chief operating officer, became a notable figure in Georgia’s long post-election counting, and recounting, of the presidential ballots, with his regular updates often broadcast live to a divided nation. At one point, the soft-spoken Republican implored Americans to tone down the heated rhetoric. “Death threats, physical threats, intimidation — it’s too much, it’s not right,” he said. Bowers also revealed a second phone call with Trump in December 2020 that he said was mainly small talk, although Trump also referenced their first conversation. Moss, who had worked for the Fulton County elections department since 2012, and her mother, Ruby Freeman, a temporary election worker, filed a defamation lawsuit in December 2021.

But from exclusive interviews with two wounded survivors; a military intelligence officer who flew on the first mission; and pilot interviews provided by the Ukrainian army, The Associated Press has pieced together the account of one of the last flights, from the perspective of both the rescuers and the rescued. Only after more than 2,500 defenders who remained in the Azovstal ruins had started surrendering did Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy first give wind of the missions and their deadly cost. The Azovstal fighters’ tenacity had frustrated Moscow’s objective of quickly capturing Mariupol and prevented Russian troops there from being redeployed elsewhere. The military ’S list for evacuation was a junior sergeant who’d been shredded by mortar rounds, butchering his left leg and forcing its amputation above the knee. “Buffalo” was his nom de guerre. He had been through so much, but one more deadly challenge loomed: escape from Azovstal. ___ A series of clandestine, against-the-odds, terrainhugging, high-speed helicopter missions to reach the Azovstal defenders in March, April and May are being celebrated in Ukraine as among the most heroic feats of military derring-do of the four-month war. Some ended in catastrophe; each grew progressively riskier as Russian air defense batteries caught on. The full story of the seven resupply and rescue R Natacha Pisarenko | AP “Buffalo” listens to a doctor at a clinic in Kyiv, Ukraine. Tossed next to the wreckage of a burning car, he dragged himself into the cover of a nearby building and “decided it would be better to crawl into the basement and quietly die there,” he said. But his friends wanted him to live. They evacuated him to the Ilyich steel mill, which subsequently fell in mid-April as Russian forces were tightening their grip on Mariupol and its strategic port on the Sea of Azov. Three days passed before medics were able to amputate his leg, in a basement bomb shelter. He considers himself lucky: Doctors still had anesthetic when his turn came to go under their knife. N KYIV, Ukraine — As was his habit before each flight, the veteran Ukrainian army pilot ran a hand along the fuselage of his Mi-8 helicopter, caressing the heavy transporter’s metal skin to bring luck to him and his crew. They would need it. Their destination — a besieged steel mill in the brutalized city of Mariupol — was a death trap. Some other crews didn’t make it back alive. Still, the mission was vital, even desperate. Ukrainian troops were pinned down, their supplies running low, their dead and injured stacking up. Their last-ditch stand at the Azovstal mill was a growing symbol of Ukraine’s defiance in the war against Russia. They could not be allowed to perish. The 51-year-old pilot — identified only by his first name, Oleksandr — flew just the one mission to Mariupol, and he considered it the most difficult flight of his 30-yearcareer. He took the risk, he said, because he didn’t want the Azovstal fighters to feel forgotten. In the charred hellscape of that plant, in an underground bunkerturned-medical station that provided shelter from death and destruction above, word started reaching the wounded that a miracle might be coming. Among those told that he was on the square kilometers (more than 4 miles), with a 24-kilometer (15-mile) labyrinth of underground tunnels and bunkers, the plant was practically impregnable. But conditions were grim. “There was constant shelling,” said Vladislav Zahorodnii, a 22-year-old corporal who had been shot through the pelvis, shredding a nerve, during street fighting in Mariupol. Evacuated to Azovstal, he met Buffalo there. They already knew each other: Both were from Chernihiv, a city in the north surrounded and pounded by Russian forces. Zahorodnii saw the missing leg. He asked Buffalo how he was doing. “Everything is fine, we will go clubbing soon,” Buffalo replied. ___ Zahorodnii was evacuated from Azovstal by helicopter on March 31, after three failed attempts. better to crawl into the basement and quietly die there,” he said. But his friends evacuated him to the Ilyich steel mill, which subsequently fell in mid-April as Russian forces were tightening their grip on Mariupol and its strategic port on the Sea of Azov. Three days passed before medics were able to amputate, in a basement bomb shelter. He considers himself lucky: Doctors still had anesthetic when his turn came to go under the knife. When he came around, a nurse told him how sorry she was that he’d lost the limb. He cut through the awkwardness with a joke: “Will they return the money for 10 tattoo sessions? I had a lot of tattoos on my leg,” he said. One remains, a human figure, but its legs are gone now, too. After the surgery, he was transferred to the Azovstal plant. A stronghold covering nearly 11 TH Associated Press intelligence officer said one helicopter was shot down and two others never came back, and are considered missing. He said he dressed in civilian clothes for his flight, thinking that he could melt into the population if he survived a crash: “We were aware it could be a one-way ticket.” Said Zelenskyy: “These are absolutely heroic people who knew what was difficult, who knew that it was almost impossible. ... We lost a lot of pilots.” ___ If Buffalo had had his way, he would not have lived to be evacuated. His life would have ended quickly, to spare him the agony he suffered after 120mm mortar rounds tore apart his left leg, bloodied his right foot, and peppered his back with shrapnel during street fighting in Mariupol on March 23. The 20-year-old spoke to The Associated Press on condition that he not be identified by name, saying he didn’t want it to seem that he is seeking publicity when thousands of Azovstal defenders are in captivity or dead.

Five years ago, the U.S. Department of Justice issued a scathing report saying that too many police chases in the city were unnecessary or ended with officers shooting people they did not have to shoot. And three years ago, a judge signed off on a consent decree that included a requirement to adopt a foot pursuit policy. The city also had plenty of evidence about the dangers of foot pursuits, including a Chicago Tribune investigation that found that a third of the city’s police shootings from 2010 through 2015 involved someone being wounded or killed during a foot pursuit. Police officials have denied any suggestion they have been dragging their feet, pointing out that the department has met the established deadlines. But Chicago has not taken the lead on the issue, with other major cities such as Baltimore, Philadelphia and Portland, Oregon, already having implemented foot pursuit policies and Futterman said the department has resisted following suit for years despite knowing how dangerous foot pursuits can be. Still, he praised the department. “Lives have been lost and having one (foot pursuit policy) and having one that has some teeth ... will save lives,” he said.

The Browns, who signed the three-time Pro Bowler to a fully guaranteed, five-year, $230 million contract in March, had no immediate comment on the settlements. Watson has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to clear his name. Rusty Hardin, Watson’s lead attorney, did not immediately return an email or a text seeking comment. In March, two separate Texas grand juries declined to indict him on criminal complaints stem- ming from the allegations. After that, the Browns and several other teams pursued Watson, with Cleveland convincing him to waive his no-trade clause and join a team with a solid roster.

Gronkowski retires, won’t join Brady for 3rd season By Rob Maaddi AP Pro Football Writer TAMPA, Fla. — Rob Gronkowski won’t be joining Tom Brady for a third season with the Buccaneers. The four-time All-Pro tight end announced his retirement for the second time in three years on Tuesday. In an Instagram post, Gronkowski thanked his teammates and coaches over the years and said he’s going back to “chilling out.” Gronkowski won four Super Bowls with Brady, including three in New England. “I want to thank the whole entire first class Buccaneers organization for an amazing ride, trusting me to come back to play and help build a championship team,” Gronkowski wrote on Instagram. “I will now be going back into my retirement home, walking away from football again with my head held high knowing I gave it everything I had, good or bad, every time I stepped out on the field. The friendships and relationships I have made will last forever, and I appreciate every single one of my teammates and coaches for giving everything they had as well.” The 33-year-old retired in 2019 after nine seasons with the Patriots, but returned in 2020 when Brady went to the Buccaneers. The close friends teamed up to help Tampa beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl in February 2021. Gronkowski caught two touchdown passes in that game. “Love you as a man, teammate and friend,” Brady wrote on Gronkowski’s post. “One of a kind in every way.” The Buccaneers and Brady were hoping Gronkowski would play another season. But Tampa prepared for his departure in the draft by selecting tight ends Cade Otton in the fourth round and Ko Kieft in the sixth round. Veteran tight end Cameron Brate also remains with the Buccaneers. “Rob is a true professional who left it all on the field for us the past two seasons and helped establish a championship culture in our building,” Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said in a statement. “It is always difficult to see a great player walk away from the game when he is still enjoying that kind of success, but the overwhelming emotions I feel today are gratitude and respect for one of the greatest tight ends who ever played the game.” The fun-loving Gronkowski will be tough to replace. He was not only one of the league’s best pass-catching tight ends but also among the best blockers at his position. Gronk was known for his toughness, playing physical and through injuries. His jovial personality made him one of the league’s most popular players and a natural for a broadcasting job.

By the time they arrive, the franchise may no longer have to rely on nostalgia and the beauty of its ballpark to get people inside. The days when the most popular jerseys in the stands on a given night are past Hall of Famers (Clemente, Willie Stargell) could be numbered. Cherington is optimistic but cautious. The farm system is loaded and some of the players he’s brought in — Suwinski and his MLB-rookie leading 11 home runs — are starting to make an impact. Yet Cherington has been around the game long enough to know there is no such thing as a straight line to success. “There’s going to be twists and turns, left turns and right turns,” Cherington said. “Over time, we need to see that arc in a positive direction towards more winning. (We are) confident it will.” If anything, Cherington is edging closer to phasing out the “placeholder” approach he’s taken at the major-league level over his first three seasons. Veterans like first baseman Yoshi Tsutsugo, outfielder Jake Marisnick and Josh VanMeter — all of them on one-year deals — are on their way back from injuries. There is no definitive plan on how the Pirates plan to handle their possible return. There’s a chance outfielder Bligh Madris, who had three hits in his major-league debut Monday,, could head back to the minors for more seasoning. It seems equally likely the Pirates let the kids play rather than go with more established players who won’t be around when the club’s window to become a contender in the NL Central opens. That window is still shut, for now, anyway, with a sixth losing season in seven years likely in the offing. But the youth movement brings hope. During one game last week, the 25-year-old Hayes, who is signed through the rest of the decade, realized he was the second-longest tenured Pirate in the lineup. “We have a lot of young guys, a lot of guys learning,” Hayes said. “We have great things brewing here.” Minutes later, with the chorus of the club song “We Can Fly So High” echoing across a nearly empty clubhouse, Hayes grabbed his glove and disappeared into a longpromised future. �NEWS/WEATHER Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, June 22, 2022 7 Temperature rising for ‘Elvis,’ Austin Butler By Jake Coyle mother died when he was 23, the same age Butler was when he lost his mom. And like Presley, an initially timid performer, Butler grew up shy. “I could then go: ‘When I feel afraid and I feel like all the pressure’s on me and I’m terrified of falling on my face, he felt those things,’” says Butler. “So then I could go: ‘It’s OK to feel the fear. It’s how you channel it.’” “Elvis” is most moving in its second half, in the Vegas section of the film, when Presley was often reaching artistic highs on stage during his 1969-1976 run at the International Hotel but was increasingly trapped by Parker (who refused to tour Presley internationally) and drug use. Priscilla Presley, who has enthusiastically supported the film, is played by Olivia DeJonge. “A lot of the characters in this film are largerthan-life, and authentically larger than life,” says DeJonge. “With Priscilla, I wanted to make sure she felt grounded and more like Elvis’ breath so that whenever he’s with her, he’s relaxed.” Before “Elvis” began shooting in Memphis, Hanks had dinner with Priscilla Presley, who then described her exhusband as “an artist as unique as Picasso and as popular as Charlie Chaplin that really only felt truly himself and at home when he was singing.” While a more villainous role represents a rare departure for Hanks — who tested positive for coronavirus during the film’s Australia shoot, an indelible early pandemic moment — “Elvis” is also typical for the actor in that it grapples with American history and exists as a standalone drama. “Elvis” will be competing primarily with franchise installments in theaters this summer. “The concept of franchise now is so much a AP Film Writer On the day of Austin Butler’s final screen test for “Elvis,” director Baz Luhrmann threw everything at him. Butler had spent five months building up to that moment, workshopping the role with Luhrmann, doing hair and make-up tests, rehearsing the songs. Against the odds, Butler had emerged as the unlikely favorite to land the role over more established names like Harry Styles, Miles Teller and Ansel Elgort. But it wasn’t official yet. And during the screen test, Luhrmann flipped the script. Some of the scenes Butler had prepped went out the window. In others, Luhrmann fed him lines from behind the camera. The one minute of “Suspicious Minds” that Butler was to perform in a Presley jumpsuit stretched to six. “I got home and I really thought: ‘I don’t think I got that. I felt like my hands were tied behind my back,’” Butler said in a recent interview. A week later in Los Angeles, the 30-yearold actor’s phone rang. Luhrmann was calling from Australia. “I look at the phone and go, ‘OK, this is the moment,’” says Butler. “I pick up the phone and he was very dramatic and downcast. He goes, ‘Austin, I just wanted to be the first one to call you and say ... Are you ready to fly, Mr. Presley?’” When “Elvis” opens in theaters Friday, it will resurrect one of the most iconic figures in American music in the biggest, most bedazzled film to ever try to capture the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. And it will propel Butler, an Orange County, Calif., native best known to this point for playing Tex Watson in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood,” Warner Bros. Pictures via AP Austin Butler appears as Elvis Presley in a scene from “Elvis,” which tells the star’s story through his infamous manager, Col. Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), who guided Presley to stardom but exploited and manipulated him. “Elvis” opens in theaters Friday. onto a far bigger stage. “It all feels sort of like this wonderful dream,” Butler said the morning after the film’s Cannes Film Festival premiere. “I have to take moments to take a deep breath and say, ‘This is real life.’” What’s real and what’s fake in the exaggerated land of the much-imitated Elvis hasn’t always been easy to discern. “Elvis,” which Luhrmann co-scripted, doesn’t take a standard biopic view of Presley but tells his story through Presley’s infamous manager, Col. Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), a former carnival barker who guided Presley to stardom but exploited and manipulated him until Presley’s death in 1977. Parker narrates the tale, adding a dimension about the nature of show business and performance. “Baz in the very first meeting said, ‘Look, this is a story about two people.

To many, he represents the appropriation of Black music. Some relatively recent productions — the 2005 Broadway musical “All Shook Up,” Cirque du Soleil’s Viva Elvis show in Las Vegas — failed to catch on substantially. All of which meant that Butler had a lot riding on his shoulders. For him, it was essential to find ways to make Presley more human than superhuman. One resonant connection for the actor was learning that Presley’s EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High Low Normal high Normal low Record high Record low been a Col. Tom Parker without Elvis,” says Hanks. “As soon as he said that, I thought, ‘Well, this is going to be new turf, and worthy of the Baz-maximalist-confettistrewn style of moviemaking.’” And, like “The Great Gatsby” and “Moulin Rouge,” “Elvis” is indeed an extravagant, maximalist Baz-styled blow-out. As you’d expect, it breezes through pivotal moments in the Mississippi-born Memphis singer’s life and a jukebox of songs. But “Elvis” also offers a more youthful, rebellious portrait of Presley as a product of Black gospel music, a hip-shaking sex symbol in eyeliner and a progressive-minded nonconformist whose closely controlled career reflected cultural battles of then and now. Butler’s is an electric Elvis, not campy nostalgia act, with more Bowie in him than you might expect. “I’m not here to tell the world that Elvis is a great person. I’ll tell you part of the entertainment industrial complex that for me, I just don’t think it’s very fun,” says Hanks. “Everybody knows that I’ve been doing this for an awfully long time so I think they’re going to have just as much faith that they’ll get all three acts out of me, and then they’ll decide if it was worth seeing or not.” Reviews have been largely positive for “Elvis,” but they’ve been glowing for Butler. (In the film, he sings some songs while Presley’s voice is used in others.) The actor reckons he devoted two years of his life to the film, obsessively researching Presley and gradually transforming into him. Butler went through daily routines wondering how Presley did them. When the movie wrapped, Butler struggled to let go. “Suddenly it was me brushing my teeth, now it’s me doing these mundane things. It was a real existential crisis when I finished,” says Butler. “The next morning, I woke up and I couldn’t walk. I thought my appendix burst. It was the most excruciating pain in my stomach, so they took me to the emergency room. It’s wild how your body can kind of hold on for the duration of doing something.” The first big scene Butler shot, on the second day of production, was Presley taping his momentous comeback special. The scene put a leather-clad Butler isolated on stage, with little to rely on beside his own ability to thrill a crowd. His nerves nearly overwhelmed him. “But that terror of my whole career feeling like it was riding on this film, that’s exactly what Elvis was feeling,” says Butler. “His musical career was on the line. It was make or break for him. So I could rest in that. Then I went out there and it was like having an out of body experience.” Clendenin 90/65 Charleston 89/67 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Jail Administrator Dawn Irwin. After a short discussion, council unanimously agreed to Arnott’s recommendation. Baker discussed two fire levies which will be up for renewal this fall. Baker said she discussed them with Fire Chief Jeff Darst and they would like to put the three-mill fire levy on the ballot as a renewal and the one-mill on the ballot as a replacement. The replacement would generate a little more money which will be needed since a new fire truck is on order, according to Baker. Council unanimously passed both resolutions as recommended by Baker and Chief Darst. Council discussed a letter from Baker asking to retire on June 30 and then be hired back to assist Baker-Keilitz. After a lengthy discussion, it was agreed by council and Baker that she would continue to work as a full-time employee but June 24 - Inspirational Book Club, 10:30 a.m. at the Pomeroy Library.

Baker said this way she could use up some of her time and the village would not owe her as much when she does retire. Council and Baker agreed to this and that it can be discussed again at a later time. Hendrickson said Betsy Kearns had requested a variance on the property on Hartinger where she is interested in putting a dog grooming facility. He said this would have to go through the Zoning Board of Appeals and presently, there needed to be an appointment made to that group since there was a vacancy. He recommended Don Stivers be appointed to that position, which was then approved by council. Hendrickson said he would set up a meeting to consider the variance request and felt Kearns had made some good points in asking for approval of this. Wood said they were still very short of officers and requested he be permitted to hire Shannon Smith again part-time since all of the problems had been cleared up related to the Task Force. Council gave their approval. Wood also said he would be having shoulder surgery on June 15 and would probably be off for a couple weeks and then on light duty for a while but has everything covered while he is gone and will still be in daily contact. Blank said the water project was in the cleanup stages and about completed and the he and Powell were making sure everything was completed properly. Powell briefly discussed the sewer problem off Hamilton Street. Hoffman said he had given council information on this. Powell said there were six services, three active, on a 14 inch clay tile which had evidently collapsed and was 14 feet deep and the village could not handle the repair which included about 310 feet of new sewer line and about 210 feet of laterals and a manhole to replace the old tile sewer in order that the three active customers on the line could have sewer service again. Council approve the hiring of Chris Hutton Excavating to do the work. Powell then requested an executive session from council to discuss personnel. After returning into regular session, no action was taken on discussion at the executive session. Hoffman said he had several comments from individuals concerning more active use of the village’s website. Conde volunteered to be the administrator and try to make it more active. Council agreed that Conde could be the administrator. Conde said he would discuss the handicapped park project at the next meeting. He also said there were a lot of scooters being operated recklessly on streets and sidewalks and felt this should be policed and corrected. Council adjourned with the next regular meeting set for 7 p.m. on June 27. Information submitted by Mayor Fred Hoffman.

Stevens. John Hood, Post 39 Commander, is also pictured.

Members of American Legion Post #39 and their immediate families received first consideration for these scholarships, but other veterans and their families were also considered. Grief From page 1 Last year, Middleport Church of Christ also held an event called “Surviving the Holidays.” It was designed to help people deal with the first holiday season without a friend or family member. The GriefShare course is free, aside from a $20 payment to purchase the necessary materials for the course. Middleport Church of Christ does offer scholarships to help people cover the cost.
