Bullshit! �BUSINESS Daily Sentinel Thursday, May 4, 2017 3A PVH employee of the month honored POINT PLEASANT — Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) announces the Customer Service Employee of the Month for April is Aaron Scott. Scott has been employed since June 2016, as a registered respiratory therapist. According to PVH, the Employee of the Month at Pleasant Valley Hospital is nominated for taking extra steps to provide excellent customer service to patients and family members at the hospital. Scott was nominated, according to PVH, “because he is very metic- ulous with his charting and care for PVH’s vent patients. He helps with turning the patients, making them comfortable, and always asking if there is anything else he can do for them. He goes out of his way to make sure the patients are calm and comfortable.” PVH went on to say: “Aaron is an excellent example of the PVH Employee of the Month, and we are very grateful to have him on our team.” In this recognition, Scott received a $50 check and a VIP parking space. He will also be eligible for the Customer Service Employee of the Year award with a chance for $250. Scott and his family live in Letart, West Virginia. His wife, Kylie, works as a registered nurse in the OB/Maternity department at Holzer. Aaron and Kylie have three boys, Hudson (5 months), Carter (3), and Teagan (9).

Local employers honored Ohio Valley Banc Corp. reports 1st quarter earnings for workplace safety records The allowance for loan losses was .99 percent of total loans at March 31, 2017, compared to 1.05 percent at December 31, 2016 and 1.19 percent at March 31, 2016. For the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, noninterest income totaled $3,113,000, a decrease of $122,000, or 3.8 percent, from the ﬁrst quarter of 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, tax refund processing fees totaled $1,376,000, a decrease of $378,000 from the same period the prior year. The decrease was related to the lower per item fee received by the Company under the contract with the thirdparty tax refund product provider. Partially offsetting the decrease in tax refund processing fees was the increase in fee income related to the higher deposit base associated with the Milton acquisition. For the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, interchange income earned from debit and credit transactions increased $194,000 and service charges on deposit accounts increased $99,000, respectively, from the same period last year. Noninterest expense totaled $9,375,000 for the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, an increase of $1,406,000, or 17.6 percent, from the same period last year. Generally, the acquisition of Milton contributed to an increase in most noninterest expense categories, related to having a larger organization after the merger. The Company’s largest noninterest expense, salaries and employee beneﬁts, increased $794,000 from the ﬁrst quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily related to adding Milton employees, annual merit increases, and higher health insurance expense. The remaining noninterest expenses increased $612,000, led by an increase in data processing, foreclosure costs and professional fees. The Company’s total assets at March 31, 2017 were $1.037 billion, an increase of $82 million from December 31, 2016 and an increase of $153 million from March 31, 2016. The increase from December 31, 2016 was primarily related to the inﬂux of deposits from seasonal tax refund processing. The increase from March 31, 2016 was primarily related to the acquisition of Milton, which provided $132 million in assets.

RIO GRANDE – Southeastern Ohio employers have been recognized by the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) for going at least six months and 500,000 man-hours without a workplace safety incident that caused a worker to miss a day or more of work.

We want all workers in Ohio to return home safely each day after their shift.” Local employers recognized with the Special Award for Safety include: Ohio Valley Bank 1,514,267 hours worked Bellisio Foods Inc.2,102,753 hours worked Thomas Do-It Center 977,818 hours worked GKN Sinter Metals LLC - 763,150 hours worked Buckeye Rural Electric - 856,227 hours worked University of Rio Grande - 812,651 hours worked Ohio Valley Electric Corporation - 905,003 hours worked Area Agency on Aging District 7, Inc. 2,087,543 hours worked Jackson-Vinton Community Action, Inc. 624,137 hours worked Dr. Samuel L. Bossard Memorial Library 504,327 hours worked In addition to the Special Award for Safety, the council also honored local businesses in three other award categories, including: The Group Award for Safety — Recognizes businesses with the lowest incident rate within its business/industry type; The 100% Award — Recognizes businesses with zero injuries or illnesses resulting in a day or more away from work in the previous calendar year; The Achievement Award — Recognizes businesses with a 25-percent or more reduction in incident rates from the previous year. The Southeastern Ohio Safety Council is one of more than 80 across the state that partner with BWC to educate employers and workers about the importance of workplace safety. Organized by local business groups, the councils educate members on new safety standards and regulations, products and services and the latest on a variety of related topics, including occupational safety and health, workers’ compensation and risk management.

Losses for tech and materials companies send US stocks lower NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are down Wednesday morning as losses for Apple and other technology companies pull major indexes lower. Materials and health care companies are also slumping. The Federal Reserve is having a policy meeting, although investors don’t expect it to raise interest rates. KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slipped 7 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,383 as of 10:12 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 42 points, or 0.2 percent, to 20,907. The Nasdaq composite sank 35 points, or 0.6 percent, to 6,060. The Russell 2000 index, which tracks smaller companies, declined 9 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,390. APPLE ON HOLD: Apple dipped after its ﬁrst-quarter iPhone sales and projections for the current quarter weren’t quite as good as analysts hoped. Apple stagnated in late 2015 and for much of 2016 as iPhone sales slowed down and then fell for the ﬁrst time. Apple’s stock and it sales have rallied in recent months. Apple is up 25 percent this year and recently set all-time highs. The rally was interrupted Wednesday as the stock slipped $2.17, or 1.5 percent, to $145.34. Other technology companies that traded lower after releasing earnings included cloud services provider Akamai Technologies and Automatic Data Processing. Akamai gave up $9.24, or 14.8 percent, to $53.26 and payroll and human resources company ADP lost $5.80, or 5.6 percent, to $98.21 after it said it didn’t book as much new business. CRAFTING NEW LEADERSHIP: Online crafts marketplace Etsy replaced its CEO and said it will cut jobs as it faces pressure from shareholders upset with its lackluster proﬁts and anemic stock performance. Chad Dickerson stepped down as CEO and chairman as the company named board member Josh Silverman as its new CEO. Etsy will also cut around 80 jobs, or 8 percent of its staff, to reduce costs. The stock gave up $1.34, or 11.7 percent, to $10.06. Christopher E.

For the three months ended March, 31, 2017, speciﬁc allocations on impaired loans decreased $2,390,000 from December 31, 2016. The decrease in speciﬁc allocations was related to a loan relationship no longer being deemed collateral dependent as the borrower’s ﬁnancial performance improved, which resulted in the removal of a $1,681,000 speciﬁc allocation. In addition, management charged off $557,000 of the identiﬁed impairment on a separate collateral dependent loan during the quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net charge-offs totaled $530,000, an increase of $349,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net charge-offs during the ﬁrst quarter of 2017 were primarily related to the charge-off of the speciﬁc allocation previously mentioned, which had already been provided for in the allowance for loan losses. Partially offsetting the decrease in speciﬁc reserves was the increase in the general reserve for loan losses, which encompasses historical loss trends and certain economic risks related to the loan portfolio. At March 31, 2017, general reserves totaled $6,503,000, an increase of $2,006,000 from December 31, 2016. During the ﬁrst quarter, we continued to experience lower historical loan loss factors, which prompted management to evaluate our exposure to losses incurred during an economic downturn. Based on historical losses incurred outside our lookback period, management included an economic risk factor to add general reserves for losses based upon the difference in our current historical loss factors and risks in the loan portfolio. Additionally, management evaluated recent changes in loan underwriting standards, which may expose the loan portfolio to additional credit risk. Therefore, an economic risk factor was added, which contributed additional general reserves. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans at March 31, 2017 was 1.19 percent compared to 1.26 percent at December 31, 2016 and 1.24 percent at March 31, 2016. Based on the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017 was adequate and reﬂects probable incurred losses in the portfolio. 60716309 GALLIPOLIS, Ohio— Ohio Valley Banc Corp. [Nasdaq: OVBC] (the “Company”) reported consolidated net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, of $3,217,000, an increase of $385,000, or 13.6 percent, from the same period the prior year. Earnings per share for the ﬁrst quarter of 2017 were $.69, matching the ﬁrst quarter of 2016. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.23 percent and 12.41 percent, respectively, for the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, versus 1.29 percent and 12.50 percent, respectively, for the same period the prior year. “Our communities have been very welcoming in new areas served by our Milton Banking Company Division. Their contributions enabled a successful ﬁrst quarter,” stated Tom Wiseman, President and CEO. “As we put our ‘Community First’, creating an unmatched customer experience, nurturing quality loan growth, and building a uniﬁed team will continue to be key strategies in the months to come.” For the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, net interest income increased $1,765,000, or 19.4 percent, from the same period last year. Contributing to the growth in net interest income was the growth in earning assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, average earning assets increased $164 million from the same period the prior year. The growth in average earning assets was primarily attributable to the loan portfolio, which contributed $153 million of the growth in earning assets. In addition to positive loan growth from existing markets, the growth in loans was supplemented from recent expansion initiatives. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company acquired Milton Bancorp, Inc. (“Milton”), which contributed $106 million to the growth in loans. Furthermore, the Company opened a loan production ofﬁce in Athens, Ohio in late 2015. Average loans for the Athens location increased $16 million for the ﬁrst quarter of 2017, as compared to same period last year. Adding to the contribution from the growth in earning assets was the increase in the strong net interest margin, or proﬁt margin on earning assets. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the net interest margin was 4.52 percent, compared to 4.50 percent for the same period the prior year. The improvement in net interest margin was related to higher loan balances relative to total assets.

Now it hurts a lot. I blame President Donald Trump and I plan to sue him for Trump Whiplash. That type of whiplash is ofﬁcially a thing because I’m writing about it right here in a reputable newspaper, creating more evidence for this new ailment than the president has Rex given for most of his claims since takHuppke ing ofﬁce. Contributing I don’t actually know how to sue somecolumnist one, but I ﬁgure if Trump can become president by putting on a silly hat and yelling at people, I can certainly ﬁgure out how to ﬁle a lawsuit for pain and suffering caused by Trump Whiplash. And I’ll almost certainly win because Trump always settles lawsuits, despite always saying he never settles lawsuits. (Ow! My neck!) Trust me, he’ll want the whole thing to go away fast before it becomes a class-action lawsuit — there are millions of people out there suffering similar pain — so I’ll likely walk off with a pile of cash and then I’ll quit and move somewhere near a big mountain and you won’t have me around to call a “liberal puke” or a “loser” or a “marketer of evil.” (I actually like that last one. Had it made into a T-shirt.) So that’s my plan — but I suppose you’re wondering what Trump Whiplash is and how the neck injury happens. The kind of whiplash you get from a car crash is caused by your neck quickly jerking forward and back from a sudden impact. Trump Whiplash happens when the president or a member of his administration says something at odds with previous comments or reality, causing you to briskly shake your head left and right in an effort to make sure the impact of the hypocrisy or deception hasn’t knocked you unconscious. Take, for example, the president on Tuesday describing the recent budget deal approved by Congress: “This is what winning looks like.” That deal was, by any practical measure, a staggering defeat for much of what Trump wants and promised to do in his ﬁrst 100 days in ofﬁce. There was no funding for his border wall, Planned Parenthood was not defunded, there were no big cuts to the EPA, no steps to defund sanctuary cities, Obamacare subsidies for low-income people were continued, and the National Institutes of Health funding he wanted cut was boosted by $2 billion. This is what winning looks like? That’s a head shaker, made worse by the fact that earlier Tuesday, the president seemed to acknowledge that the spending deal was a loss, threatening, via Twitter, a government shutdown: “Our country needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September to ﬁx mess!” I THOUGHT THIS WAS WHAT WINNING LOOKED LIKE! AUGHHHHH, MY NECK!! Exacerbating my Trump Whiplash was this tweet from Thursday in which the president noted the terribleness of government shutdowns: “As families prepare for summer vacations in our National Parks — Democrats threaten to close them and shut down the government. Terrible!” So the terrible budget deal was what winning looks like, only not, and the only way to ﬁx it is with a “good” shutdown, even though shutdowns are terrible. Ouchy. That same day, Trump tweeted this: “I want to help our miners while the Democrats are blocking their healthcare.” Then on Tuesday, with the bipartisan spending deal set to fund health care for more than 20,000 miners, Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney acknowledged it was actually the administration that had been holding back on that health care funding for miners to extract more from Democrats: “We were simply waiting for the opportunity to give it as a part of a bipartisan discussion so that we could get something in return.” The Democrats were blocking it! The Trump administration was “waiting to give it!” Trump Whiplash! It was terrible when the black president golfed. It’s ﬁne when Trump golfs because he’s “making deals.” Yet he hasn’t made a signiﬁcant deal as president and has zero major legislative accomplishments. So. Much. Neck pain. Trump told Bloomberg the other day that he would consider a gas tax. Press secretary and closet Trump Whiplash sufferer Sean Spicer later shot that comment down, saying the president “did not express support.” Trump said China is a currency manipulator. Now he says China is not a currency manipulator. Citizen Trump said President Barack Obama — the black president who golfed back when presidential golﬁng was a sin — shouldn’t bomb Syria without congressional approval and called it a “big mistake if he does.” Then President Trump bombed Syria without congressional approval. And he didn’t think it was a mistake at all. Left is right. Right is left. Lies are the truth. Losing is winning. I’ve got Trump Whiplash and my neck is killing me. But my lawsuit will take care of everything. I’ll take my millions and move out by that mountain and stare straight at it and everything will feel ﬁne. Because I won’t have to worry about sudden neck jerks. Or any hat-wearing hypocrites who cause them. THEIR VIEW Budget deal still gives us a shutdown any attempt at sensible Democrats defeated President Donald Trump rectiﬁcation quickly encounters politically and Republicans in Congress with a spending-bill advantageous, utterly deal suiting their political deceptive outrage about cheating beneﬁciaries. druthers, or so it is said.

Or perhaps there is ideological gratiﬁcation in providing grants to the arts that once ﬂourished magniﬁcently without them. It’s true that politics can then inﬂuence artistic directions, that money will not be as available for vital projects that are in fact the government’s business and that private donations may then be depressed. Still, isn’t a federal role always needed? No. The genius of America, at least once upon a time, was people boosting their communities on their own, through churches, civic associations, businesses, charitable groups and more. This is a statist era, however, and so it is beyond the imagining of some that the federal government would not intervene everywhere and that state and local governments are too often left out of the picture. What we have in this trillion dollar deal is an underlying sense that central planning can easily outsmart the free choices of millions of citizens. One disproof of that thesis is what happened with Obamacare that upended the business model of health insur- ance companies, saying they should charge the most where there is the least risk and the least where there is the most risk. It is no wonder they could not then make ends meet in their Obamacare transactions and therefore depend on government subsidies that were renewed and enhanced in the budget deal. What we have ended up with in this conglomeration is 1,600 pages of too many ill-considered, unjustiﬁed, even dangerous decisions documenting the self-serving ineptness of those governing us. The Democrats were in the driver’s seat because their power of ﬁlibuster could then lead to a government shutdown with the Republicans likely being blamed. The Republicans too readily went along with too much, may even have liked where they were going in some instances, and Trump was scarcely without fault, least of all when it came to doing something about entitlements. We had compromises enough to avoid that government shutdown, which really should be avoided, but they simultaneously illustrated a shutdown of fundamental duties.

Special to the Sentinel HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Eight students have been selected for the 31st class of the Yeager Scholars at Marshall University, including six students from local high schools. Named for ardent Marshall supporters John and Betty Sue Kinzer, the Kinzer Class of 2021 represents the newest members of the Society of Yeager Scholars. The Yeager program is a competitive, full-ride scholarship for students who seek demanding classes while receiving leadership enrichment and support outside of the classroom. Marshall University President Dr. Jerome Gilbert met the students during the interview process and said he has high expectations for each student during their time at the university. “I’m extraordinarily pleased to welcome the newest class of Yeager Scholars to the Marshall family,” Gilbert said. “They represent the best of the best. These students are gifted intellectually and have been selected for their leadership both in and outside of the classroom. I look forward to enjoying what they bring to our campus community.” Yeager Scholars are members of the Honors College, where they take a rigorous, interdisciplinary curriculum that prepares them for a summer study program in Oxford, England. “As before, the incoming class of Yeagers represents diverse talents and personalities,” said Honors College Dean Dr. Nicki LoCascio. “I’m excited to see them on campus this fall and watch them develop into leaders in this community.” In addition to full tuition and a Ohio; Alexis Smith, Londonderry, Ohio.

Auto executives and analysts, who have been anticipating a slowdown, saw no cause for panic. Many expect sales in the important economic sector to top 17 million for the third straight year, an industry ﬁrst. “The demand for the light vehicles is still holding up quite well,” said George Mokrzan, director of economics for Huntington Bank in Columbus, Ohio. “It’s been coming down from a very high level.” Still, sales have dropped for four straight months, the ﬁrst time that’s happened since the economy ground to a halt in 2009. April sales totaled just over 1.4 million, a ﬁgure that translates to an annual sales rate of 16.9 million, far below last year’s record of 17.5 million. The April decline brought year-to-date sales down by 2.4 percent from a year ago. General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler, Nissan and Honda on Tuesday all reported weaker U.S. sales than a year ago. Of top-selling automakers, only Hyundai and Volkswagen reported small increases. Kelley Blue Book says it looks like 2017 U.S. sales will experience their ﬁrst annual drop since 2009. It expects full-year sales of 16.8 million to 17.3 million. Jessica Caldwell, an analyst with the Edmunds. com auto buying site, said all growth cycles eventually come to an end. “It’s an economic cycle in buying that has to occur. I think that’s why we’re starting to see sales back off a little bit,” she said. Sales are slowing despite strong economic fundamentals. Wages and consumer conﬁdence are up, unemployment is down and gas prices and interest rates remain at historically low levels. Mokrzan said because cars and trucks last longer these days, people may be choosing to spend money elsewhere. Home remodeling and new home construction are up, he said. Full-size pickup truck sales, a big factor in the industry’s comeback from the recession, fell 3.8 percent in April, while car sales dropped 11 percent according to Autodata Corp. Small crossover SUVs like the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue continued to drive sales. Rogue sales rose 18 percent, pushing the segment up 6.7 percent. Automakers took the declines in stride. Ford reported a 7.2 percent drop due largely to car demand that tumbled 21 percent. Vice President of Sales and Marketing Mark LaNeve said Ford is still getting healthy prices for its vehicles as people load on options. “We have to let the year play out,” he said. At Nissan, overall sales fell 1.5 percent as SUV demand couldn’t overcome slowing car sales. General Motors sales dropped 5.8 percent as strong performances from some SUVs and the Cruze compact car couldn’t offset falling pickup truck demand. Toyota reported a 2 percent sales decline for the month while Fiat Chrysler sales fell 7 percent. Sales of the usually strong Jeep brand fell by 17 percent. Honda sales were down 7 percent. Of major automakers, only Hyundai and Volkswagen reported increases, just over 1 percent for Hyundai and a 1.6 percent gain for VW. The results caused investors to punish stocks of Detroit automakers. Ford and Fiat Chrysler shares fell more than 4 percent, with Ford hitting a new 52-week low during the day. GM shares fell almost 3 percent. While sales still are healthy, automakers ﬁnd they have to offer deals to compete for a piece of the shrinking pie. But there are signs that the industry is relying too heavily on incentives. The average price consumers are paying per vehicle is starting to wane after years of steady increases, even for popular SUVs. Previously SUV prices kept growing while car prices fell due to sagging demand. The average price paid for an SUV in April was $33,165, according to the consulting ﬁrm J.D. Power and Associates. That was down 2 percent from last April. Last month, incentive spending increased 11 percent on cars, to $3,903 per vehicle. The average price paid for a car was $25,516, about the same as last year. Pickup trucks were the only segment in which automakers offered fewer deals. Incentive spending was down 6 percent to $3,276 per vehicle. Customers were willing to pay $31,438 for a pickup in April.

LOUIS — Authorities urged residents to evacuate a small Missouri River town and halted trafﬁc along a busy section of the Mississippi River near St. Louis on Wednesday, as relentless rain and an ominous forecast hovered over parts of the ﬂood-soaked Midwest. Heavy rains have swollen many rivers to record levels in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Five deaths have been blamed on ﬂooding in Missouri, while hundreds of people have been displaced and thousands more are potentially in harm’s way. Two levees burst in rural parts of eastern Missouri and northeast Arkansas early Wednesday, though no injuries or major property damage were immediately reported. Another levee was soaked but holding up, as were tens of thousands of sandbags, in other areas near suburban St. Louis. It’s unclear when river trafﬁc would reopen along the closed 14.5-mile stretch of the Mississippi, a vital passageway for transporting agricultural products and other goods. The U.S. Coast Guard said it was necessary due to high water and a swift current. “Our collective priority is public safety,” said Capt. Martin Malloy, commander of the Coast Guard’s Upper Mississippi River sector. The region was hit hard by rain over the weekend. A couple of days of calm weather followed, but forecasters expect another 2 to 4 inches of rain through Thursday in David Carson | St. Louis Post-Dispatch via AP Flood water from the Meramec River streams over a railroad bridge Tuesday in Valley Park, Mo. River levels are cresting in several Missouri communities as floodwaters slowly drain from the state, although forecasts for more rain could cause another round of damaging high water. parts of the same hard-hit areas. The new rain won’t cause most rivers to rise higher, but it will keep water levels dangerously elevated, said National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Fuchs. That’s concerning in levee-protected towns. The longer water pushes against a levee, the more likely it is to succumb. In Arkansas, a Black River levee was breached Wednesday morning near Pocahontas, a town of 6,400 residents about 125 miles (200 kilometers) northeast of Little Rock. Parts of the town were evacuated earlier this week as the river reached record levels, and residents in nearby areas were told to seek higher ground. “This is a historical crest. The levees weren’t designed for overtopping,” Randolph County Judge David Jansen told the Arkansas DemocratGazette. “When they go, we’re going to have a wall of water pouring out.” In Missouri, a small levee breach along the Missouri River ﬂooded farmland southwest of St. Louis. The breach could prove beneﬁcial for downriver towns because enough water will ﬂow out of the river system to lower crest predictions on the other side of the breach, Fuchs said. Still, residents of one of those downriver towns — West Alton, where about 500 people live — were urged to evacuate on Wednesday because the levee there was threatened by the swollen river. The town is about 20 miles north of St. Louis. The levee at Valley Park, a St. Louis suburb on the Meramec River, was saturated but holding on Wednesday. In nearby Eureka, 250,000 sandbags ﬁlled by 2,000 volunteers over a three-day period also held up against the raging water, making the ﬂood far less damaging than a similar ﬂood in December 2015. “We were able to save a lot a lot of homes and businesses that before we lost,” Eureka Mayor Kevin Coffey said. About 200 homes have been damaged in the area along the Meramec, but another 1,500 have remained dry thanks to levees and sandbags. In Illinois, much of the central and southern parts of the state remained under ﬂood warnings. Two southern counties, Jackson and Franklin, declared disasters due to ﬂood damage. In Oklahoma, the National Weather Service issued ﬂood warnings for several rivers in the northeast part of the state after up to 3 inches of rain fell Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Several streets were ﬂooded in Miami, Oklahoma. Hundreds of roads have been closed across the region. In the St. Louis area, Interstate 44 and southbound Interstate 55 were closed, along with several other roads near the Meramec River, which turned normally minutes-long commutes into hours-long excursions. House passes $1.1T government spending bill By Andrew Taylor Associated Press WASHINGTON — The House easily passed a $1.1 trillion governmentwide spending bill on Wednesday, awarding wins to both Democrats and Republicans while putting off until later this year ﬁghts over President Donald Trump’s promised border wall with Mexico and massive military buildup. The 309-118 vote sends the bill to the Senate in time for them to act to avert a government shutdown at midnight Friday. The White House has said Trump would sign the measure, which is the ﬁrst major legislation to pass in Trump’s short, turbulent presidency. House Speaker Paul Ryan praised the measure as bipartisan, and said the biggest gain for conservatives came as Democrats dropped longstanding demands to match Pentagon increases with equal hikes for nondefense programs. “No longer will the needs of our military be held hostage by the demands for more domestic spending,” Ryan said. “In my mind, that is what’s most important here.” Democrats also backed the measure, which protects popular domestic programs such as education, medical research and grants to state and local governments from cuts sought by Trump — while dropping from earlier version a host of GOP agenda items. “It’s imperative to note what this bill does not contain,” said Rep. Nita Lowey of New York, lead negotiator for Democrats. “Not one cent for President Trump’s border wall and no poison pill riders that would have prevented so-called sanctuary cities from receiving federal grants, defunded Planned Parenthood, undermined the Affordable Care Act.” The bill is the product of weeks of Capitol Hill negotiations in which top Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi successfully blocked Trump’s most provocative proposals — especially the Mexico wall and cuts to popular domestic programs like community development grants. The White House won $15 billion in emergency funding to jumpstart Trump’s promise to rebuild the military and an extra $1.5 billion for border security — each short of Trump demands — leading the president on Tuesday to boast, “this is what winning looks like.” The opinions of top party leaders were not shared by everyone in the rank and ﬁle, some of whom feel that GOP negotiators too easily gave up on conservative priorities, such as cutting funds for Planned Parenthood and punishing “sanctuary” cities that fail to cooperate with immigration authorities. “I don’t think it was negotiated very well, and I’ll just leave it at that,” said Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C. The long-overdue bill buys just ﬁve months of funding while Trump and his allies battle with congressional Democrats over spending cuts and funding for the wall, which Trump repeatedly promised during the campaign would be ﬁnanced by Mexico. Mexican ofﬁcials have rejected that notion. Republicans were surprised by tweets from Trump on Tuesday that suggested he was initially unhappy with the measure and might provoke a government shutdown this fall in hopes of getting his way on the wall and other demands. The measure is the product of a bipartisan culture among Congress’ appropriators, with money for foreign aid, grants to state and local governments and protection for the Environmental Protection Agency from cuts sought by tea party Republicans. The measure provides $2 billion in disaster aid money, $407 million to combat Western wildﬁres, additional grants for transit projects and a $2 billion increase for medical research at the National Institutes of Health. The White House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., won a $1.3 billion provision to preserve health beneﬁts for more than 22,000 retired coal miners. Pelosi was the driving force behind an effort to give the cashstrapped government of Puerto Rico $295 million to ease its Medicaid burden. Police say 2 Chicago officers shot in targeted attack CHICAGO (AP) — A manhunt was underway Wednesday after two plain-clothes Chicago police ofﬁcers were shot and wounded as they sat in an unmarked vehicle in what authorities are describing as a targeted attack. Two vehicles pulled up alongside the ofﬁcers and opened ﬁre Tuesday evening in the high-crime Back of the Yards neighborhood on the city’s South Side. One ofﬁcer was shot in the arm and hip and the other in the back, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The ofﬁcers were conducting a follow-up investigation to a previous incident, but Guglielmi said they were wearing civilian clothes with vests bearing police badges. Johnson said their vehicle was unmarked. “We believe that the ofﬁcers were deﬁnitely targeted,” Guglielmi told The Associated Press. Both were released from the hospital Wednesday, Guglielmi said. Authorities are searching for suspects and questioning three people of interest, he said. Police believe the ofﬁcers were shot with a highpowered weapon and have recovered two guns and a vehicle that could be linked to the shooting. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Thursday, May 4, 2017 7A FBI chief says he had to tell Congress of Clinton email news By Eric Tucker summer and fall involving both the Trump and Clinton campaigns WASHINGTON continue to roil national — Under ﬁre from politics and produce linDemocrats, FBI Director gering second-guessing James Comey insisted about whether the invesduring repeated questigations were handled tions Wednesday he was evenly. consistent in disclosing On Tuesday, Clinton information about an partly attributed her loss investigation into Hillary to Comey’s disclosure to Clinton’s emails before Congress less than two Election Day while keep- weeks before Election ing quiet about a probe Day that the email invesinto possible contacts tigation would be revisbetween Russia and the ited.

Somalis are just the latest example of a tight-knit community in which the highly contagious disease has gained a foothold in the U.S. in recent years. Medical professionals and state health ofﬁcials are working to contain the virus, but they expect more measles cases in coming weeks. A look at the situation: ___ MEASLES OUTBREAK As of Wednesday, 34 measles cases were conﬁrmed in Minnesota. It’s the largest outbreak in the state since 1990, when 460 people contracted measles and three died. Nearly everyone infected is unvaccinated, and all but a few are of Somali descent. So far, 11 children have been hospitalized. The source of the outbreak is unknown, said Kris Ehresmann, infectious disease director with the state Department of Health. But since measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, outbreaks in the U.S. are typically caused when international travelers are infected overseas and bring the virus home. Nine other states have seen measles cases so far this year, but none has reported an outbreak of Minnesota’s magnitude, according to the Centers for Disease Control. ___ WHY SOMALIS? Somali children are getting sick because the community has a low rate of immunization for measles, mumps and rubella, Ehresmann said. Unvaccinated children from other communities are also at risk. According to the Health Department, 42 percent of Minnesota-born Somali toddlers had received the MMR vaccine as of 2017 — but the community’s immunization rate hasn’t always been that low. In 2004, 92 percent of Somali toddlers had the MMR vaccine. The community’s immunization rate fell sharply to 70 percent in 2008 amid a perception that autism was becoming more common among Somali children. A University of Minnesota study that examined 7- to 9-year-olds in Minneapolis in 2010 found no statistical difference between the rate of autism among Somali children and white children, Ehresmann said. ___ OPTING OUT Minnesota law requires that a child be vaccinated before enrolling in child care, early education or school. But it also allows exemptions for medical reasons or “conscientiously held beliefs.” A 2014 study by the American Board of Family Medicine found 35 percent of Somali parents surveyed believed the measles vaccine causes autism, compared with 8 percent of non-Somalis. Research that links the vaccine to autism has been widely discredited. But Anab Gulaid, a University of Minnesota researcher who worked on the autism study, said autism is often diagnosed in children around the same age as they receive their measles vaccine, so some fears persist. “It’s an emotional issue for people,” she said. Other communities with low vaccination rates have also been affected by measles in recent years. Nearly 20 people in the Orthodox Jewish community in Los Angeles were sickened by measles in December. Fifty-eight were sickened in 2013 airplane meeting between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch he had concluded he needed to make the announcement himself. “My goal was to say what is true. What did we do, what did we ﬁnd, what do we think? And I tried to be as complete and fair” as possible, Comey said. He said he himself had been interviewed by the Justice Department’s inspector general’s ofﬁce as part of the watchdog’s investigation into the Clinton email case. He said he welcomed that review and continues to believe he did things the right way.

Hassan went to the hospital’s clinic for a routine wellness check, but had to wear a mask to protect her from measles after an outbreak has sickened more than 30 children in Minnesota. The masks are just one precaution that hospitals are taking to try to control the spread of the disease, which is predominantly affecting Minnesota’s Somali community. when the measles swept through Orthodox Jewish communities in New York. In Ohio, 360 people got the measles in 2014 after unvaccinated Amish travelers visited the Philippines and brought the disease home. Minnesota health ofﬁcials say they’d like to see at least 95 percent of the population immunized to protect everyone from measles, a highly contagious disease that can cause respiratory problems, brain swelling, or death. ___ COMMUNITY FEARS Dozens of Somali parents attended a recent meeting organized by groups that believe there’s a link between vaccines and autism. Some in attendance said they would rather face measles, or a child’s death, than a lifetime of autism. Patti Carroll, with the Vaccine Safety Council of Minnesota, said the goal was to empower parents. “We did a presentation that helped the Somalis put the measles and the MMR vaccine into perspective,” Carroll said. “It’s their right to say no.” Sophia Mohamed, a New Brighton mother of two who believes her 16-year-old son got autism after receiving the MMR vaccine as a toddler, said ofﬁcials need to listen to parents like her. “We are not against the vaccine, but we want a safe vaccine,” Mohamed said. “We have a choice ... I don’t need any researcher to tell me. I know. I saw the results.” ___ MEDICAL COMMUNITY ON ALERT Evidence-based research has repeatedly shown no relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism, and there should be no hesitations about vaccines, said Patsy Stinchﬁeld, senior director of infection control at Children’s Minnesota hospital. “In medical science, there is no debate about the safety of vaccines,” she said. Stinchﬁeld worked at the hospital during the 1990 outbreak and recalls when an entire ﬂoor was turned into a measles ward. Two of the three deaths that year were children at the hospital. The hospital has taken extra precautions. On Tuesday, two workers sat at a desk outside the clinic’s main lobby, assessing all patients who entered for risk of measles. A negative air ﬁlter hummed in the background, sucking away contaminated air, while all the clinic’s tiniest patients and parents were told to wear masks. Under questioning from Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, Comey said he did not treat disclosures about investigations into Clinton’s emails differently than potential connections between the Trump campaign and Russia. The FBI began a counterintelligence investigation last July into whether Russia had coordinated with Trump campaign associates to inﬂuence the American election, but he did not disclose that until a hearing in March, after Trump had been elected and taken ofﬁce. That prompted Democrats to complain of a double-standard in the way the investigations were treated. But Comey said that other than conﬁrming the Clinton investigation existed, he did not discuss it until after it concluded last year. And he said the FBI does not expect to have anything to say about the Russia investigation until that one was over. He declined on Wednesday to discuss that investigation or to say which Americans the FBI was looking at. ___ Follow Eric Tucker on Twitter at http://www. twitter.com/etuckerAP �NEWS 8A Thursday, May 4, 2017 Daily Sentinel Obama unveils vision for presidential library in Chicago By Sophia Tareen world,” he told the friendly crowd that included Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his one-time CHICAGO — Former Presi- chief of staff. dent Barack Obama unveiled It was Obama’s second plans for his future presidenpublic appearance since he tial center Wednesday, paintleft ofﬁce, providing another ing a picture of a buzzing hub glimpse of post-presidential for youth and community life.

Obama said he envisioned recording studios where musicians could help young people work on music and space for movie directors could take on community storytelling. The center will also have exhibits with campaign memorabilia and personal artifacts. “Let’s face it, we want to see Michelle’s dresses,” he joked. The event was held at the South Shore Cultural Center, a park facility where the Obamas held their wedding reception 25 years ago. Obama also noted that he lived not far from the site and his daughters were born at a nearby hospital. He also squashed any notion that the library was ever going to be elsewhere. Multiple locations in three states — Illinois, New York and Hawaii — had initially pitched proposals. “The best things that have happened to me in my life, happened in this community,” he said. “Although we had a formal bidding process to determine where the presidential library was going to be, the fact of the matter was it had to be right here on the South Side of Chicago.” BUCKEYE STATE NEWS Court receives full autopsies of 8 slayings in 1 family Sheriff ’s deputy on unpaid leave after student’s allegation COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme GALLOWAY, Ohio (AP) — A sheriff’s deputy who Court has received the unredacted autopsy reports worked at an Ohio high school has been placed on unpaid leave and removed from from eight slayings in one family as it considers media lawsuits seeking access to those full reports from the the school after an unspeciﬁed allegation from a student. unsolved case.

Suspected Zika case puts Ohio neighborhood on mosquito alert SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — A suspected case of Zika virus has health officials urging a western Ohio neighborhood to take precautions against mosquitoes, which can spread the virus to people. The Springfield News-Sun (http://bit. ly/2oTDY7g ) reports the Clark County Combined Health District is awaiting test results for a man who had symptoms of the virus after visiting a Zika hot spot that officials aren’t naming. District Commissioner Charles Patterson says results could take weeks, so officials are urging precautions in the meantime. They asked the man to remain indoors and take steps to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes if he goes outside. Neighbors were asked to empty any outdoor containers with standing water to prevent further mosquito breeding. Patterson says it’s Ohio’s third suspected Zika case this year. Ohio had 95 last year. I-75 to reopen after fatal wrong-way fiery crash DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Ofﬁcials say part of Interstate 75 in Dayton that was closed after a fatal, wrong-way crash sparked a huge ﬁreball is expected to reopen by Thursday morning. Ohio Department of Transportation ofﬁcials say there was no structural damage to the interstate, but heat from the explosion defaced about 300 feet of the asphalt pavement. Authorities say several drivers saw a car speeding the wrong way down I-75 on Sunday evening. The car merged into the far left lane before hitting a gasoline tanker head-on. The car’s driver died in the crash. He was identiﬁed as 30-year-old Andrew Brunsman, of Beavercreek. The truck driver had minor injuries. Ofﬁcials said the smoke from the explosion didn’t pose any danger to surrounding neighborhoods. The city’s drinking water wasn’t affected. Man wrongly arrested in Ohio car theft gets $75K settlement TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Toledo ofﬁcials have approved a $75,000 settlement for a man who accused police of using unnecessary force when they wrongly arrested him in a car theft as he stopped at a McDonald’s. Duquette Matthews’ lawsuit said he was in his car picking up food in April 2014 when an ofﬁcer opened his car door and handcuffed him in a confrontation that injured Matthews’ shoulder. He says he was later lifted off the ground and freed when another ofﬁcer recognized that he wasn’t the suspect. The suit alleges police released him with no explanation or apology. Police say Matthews’ car was similar to a stolen one. A spokesman tells The Blade (http://bit. ly/2p4TY1M ) that the ofﬁcers acted reasonably and stopped once they recognized the mistake. Toledo City Council approved the settlement Tuesday. Ohio man’s mom tells police she’s sorry cop had to kill him HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Police in southwest Ohio say the mother of a man who charged at an ofﬁcer with a butcher knife and was killed said she wasn’t surprised and was sorry that the ofﬁcer had to shoot her son. A grand jury concluded no charges should be ﬁled against the ofﬁcer who killed 24-year-old Michael Wilson-Salzl. Investigators say Wilson-Salzl had a history of mental illness. Authorities say he called in a false report about gunﬁre outside his Hamilton apartment complex on April 22, then charged at a responding ofﬁcer with a knife while wearing a black mask. Police said Tuesday that Wilson-Salzl had tried something similar a year earlier, falsely reporting gunﬁre and then holding wood taped to look like a gun as police responded. In that case, ofﬁcers talked him down. Ohio city plans lawsuit to stop gas pipeline construction CLEVELAND (AP) — Ofﬁcials in a northeast Ohio city say they’re planning to ﬁle a lawsuit aimed at stopping a high-pressure natural gas pipeline from being built in their community because of the economic and environmental damage the pipeline will cause. The Green City Council in Summit County on Tuesday authorized spending $100,000 to hire a Cleveland law ﬁrm. The council previously gave $10,000 to a citizens group also planning a lawsuit to stop the NEXUS pipeline. A Green spokeswoman said Wednesday she couldn’t identify the targets of the city’s lawsuit. A partnership between a Canadian and Detroit company wants to spend $2 billion to build a 255-mile-long pipeline to transport gas from Appalachia across northern Ohio and into Michigan. The company didn’t immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment Wednesday. Family, friends of fallen Ohio soldier honoring him KETTERING, Ohio (AP) — Family and friends of an Ohio soldier killed in Afghanistan last week are gathering this week to honor him. The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/2p8z1DI) reports a candlelight Wednesday night for Sgt. Cameron Thomas and a “celebration of life” this Sunday are being held in Kettering, about 50 miles (81 kilometers) north of Cincinnati. Thomas graduated from a high school in Kettering in 2012. He was one of two Army Rangers killed in a raid on an Islamic State compound in Afghanistan. The military is investigating to see if they were accidentally killed by ground ﬁre from Afghan commandos or other American forces. Thomas’ father said his 23-year-old son was due home on leave in a few weeks and had planned to visit his family, now living in Rixeyville, Virginia. Ohio woman accused in tax scheme convicted in West Virginia CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) — An Ohio woman has been convicted in a scheme to ﬁle false tax returns in several states. U.S. Attorney Betsy Steinfeld Jividen says in a news release Wednesday that a federal jury in Clarksburg convicted 60-year-old Debra Skipper of Euclid, Ohio, of mail and wire fraud charges. According to court testimony, Skipper and her son, Tyree Skipper, conspired to ﬁle false tax returns using the names, birthdates and Social Security numbers of several people, including federal inmates. Jividen says the crimes occurred between December 2012 and May 2013 in Gilmer County, West Virginia, and elsewhere. Debra Skipper faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 ﬁne for each of three counts. Tyree Skipper pleaded guilty in February to two counts of wire fraud. Legislator pleads no contest to impaired-driving charge HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A state lawmaker accused of impaired driving pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge on Wednesday. Republican Rep. Wes Retherford, of Hamilton, was sentenced by Judge Kevin McDonough to six months in jail. All of the time was suspended except for three days of an alcohol intervention program. Retherford said during a court hearing he regretted his actions. “I realize I made a mistake,” he said. The Butler County sheriff’s ofﬁce said a 911 caller led police ofﬁcers to Retherford, who appeared to be passed out behind the wheel in a McDonald’s drivethru on March 12. A deputy performing a sobriety test stopped after Retherford nearly fell, according to the incident report. Deputies said they found a loaded handgun in the car. Retherford was arrested hours after the annual Butler County Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner. Some state and local Republicans called for him to resign after his arrest. Retherford originally was charged with operating a vehicle while impaired and improper handling of a ﬁrearm, a felony offense. A grand jury later declined to indict him for the felony charge. If convicted of the felony, his career in the Legislature would have ended. His attorney, Jeffery Bowling, said the arrest was out of character for him. “His past actions will indicate how he will act in the future,” Bowling said, while describing Retherford’s community involvement. �Sports Daily Sentinel $2?<=.+CM��+C� M� ��s�#/->398�� Marauders fall to Nelsonville-York, 10-1 By Alex Hawley Meigs (12-8, 7-3) — which was retired in order in each of the ﬁrst two innings — broke ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — through in the bottom of the There was a 1-1 tie four innings third inning, as Christian Matinto Tuesday night’s Tri-Valley tox singled home Tyler JohnConference Ohio Division son, tying the game at one. showdown in Meigs County, However, the Marauders left but then the visiting Buckeyes two runners in scoring position ﬂipped the switch. in the next inning, and failed to The Nelsonville-York baseball advance past second base for team scored nine runs over the remainder of the game. the ﬁnal three innings, as the NYHS reestablished its lead Orange and Brown claimed a in the top of the ﬁfth inning, on 10-1 victory over Meigs and a two-run home run by Reece moved into a tie for second Robson.

The Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News reports the thefts prompted Franklin city ofﬁcials to remove the remaining three signs honoring the former Franklin High School star and Duke standout. Ofﬁcials think the signs were stolen after Kennard announced he planned to enter the NBA draft and forego his ﬁnal two years at Duke. The signs posted at the city’s main entrances the past few years celebrated Kennard’s selection as Ohio’s Mr. Basketball when he played for the high school in Franklin, about 38 miles (61 kilometers) north of Cincinnati. He won the title twice. Franklin’s public works director says the signs cost $155 to make. CLEVELAND (AP) — Gareon Conley’s attorney says the NFL prospect drafted by the Raiders has given a statement and DNA sample to Cleveland police investigating an accusation that he raped a woman. Conley’s attorney, Kevin Spellacy, conﬁrmed the 21-year-old former Ohio State cornerback met with authorities on Monday and consented to a cheek swab for DNA collection. No charges have been ﬁled. Cleveland police spokeswoman Jennifer Ciaccia said the meeting took place Monday but declined to release details. A police report released last week says the 23-yearold woman told ofﬁcers that Conley raped her in a hotel bathroom on April 9. Conley denies a sexual assault took place. His attorney says there was “a consensual sexual event” that did not include intercourse. �Daily Sentinel Thursday, May 4, 2017 3B Gallipolis Daily Tribune The Daily Sentinel May senior events include celebrating Mother’s Day By Mindy Kearns Special to the Register MASON COUNTY — Mothers will be celebrated at the county’s two senior citizen centers as part of the activities in May.
