This is a state mandated proecess. A news release from Auditor Mary ByerHill’s office stated, “With over 30,000 parcels of property in the county, the reappraisal process takes us a couple of years to complete.” Beginning Monday, June 6, and running through the spring of 2021, there will be teams of photographers that will be obtaining photos for use in the reappraisal process. These locally hired individuals will be working on behalf of the Meigs County Auditor’s Office but are employed by Appraisal Research Corporation. They will be identified with badges, safety vests, and car signs. The photographers will be following recommendations from the CDC and Ohio Health Department, wearing masks and following social distancing protocols. Prior to beginning photography in an area, a letter from the Auditor’s office will be sent to each homeowner. This letter will serve as a notice that photography teams will soon be in your area and will request verification regarding property information. Returning the request for information will assist the Auditor in ensuring the accuracy of your property characteristics. Questions should be directed to the Meigs County Auditor’s Office at 740-992-2698 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Representatives from the Mulberry Community Center and Middleport-Pomeroy Rotary Club are pictured in the gymnasium where the lighting upgrade was completed.

Flags placed to honor veterans Staff Report Marge Fetty | Courtesy photo Volunteers recently placed flags on graves of veterans in the Chester Cemetery. CHESTER — A group of volunteers recently placed flags on the graves of veterans in the Chester Cemetery. Recently JoAnne Newsome, with the Drew Webster American Legion Post 39 Ladies Auxiliary, noticed that there were no flags on the veterans graves at the Chester Cemetery and she decided to place the flags. Newsome acquired the flags and volunteers to help place them so the veterans there would not be forgotten. Those helping her to place the flags included Harley Johnson, his great grandson Bryer Holley, Betty VanMatre, Jerry Frederick, Marge Fetty, Carol Erwin, Kay Bailey, Peyton and Ella Bailey. Flags are traditionally placed on the graves for veterans in advance of Memorial Day. Information submitted by Kathryn Johnson, Historian of the Auxiliary Unit Post 39 of the American Legion. Ohio Dems push to declare racism a health crisis COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Democratic lawmakers in Ohio have proposed legislation to declare racism a public health issue amid nationwide protest over the death of George Floyd. The Ohio Legislative Black Caucus introduced the resolution Tuesday as the state grappled with demonstrations and a coronavirus pandemic that has disproportionately affected the black community. If passed, the resolution would be the first of its kind at the state level, according to the lawmakers. But in the wake of the protests, counties in Ohio and elsewhere have made or are considering similar declarations. One has also been proposed in at least one other state. “What we are witnessing around the country is a community simply begging to be seen and heard,” said Democratic Rep. Stephanie Howse, of Cleveland, and the caucus president. “Racism is real and it is the biggest public health threat citizens of color face.” The death of Floyd, a black man who died in Minnesota after a white police officer pressed a knee into his neck for several minutes, has galvanized protesters across the country and called attention to issues of systemic racism. House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, who had singled out Republicans in the state for standing in the way of similar bills in the past, called for her colleagues in the House and Senate to “be on the right side of history” on Tuesday. Republicans took issue with the criticism. Sykes’ complaints “conveniently overlooks” all of the bipartisan work that has been accomplished over the last year, Republican Rep. Bill Seitz, of Cincinnati, said in a statement to The Associated Press. In Massachusetts, Democratic U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley and other elected officials of color outlined a series of steps Tuesday they say are needed to confront systemic racism in the state, including a public health declaration. The city of Boston proposed a public health resolution in early March. Hamilton County Commissioner Victoria Parks announced this week that there will be a vote within the month on whether to officially declare racism a public health crisis in the third-most populous county in Ohio. Hamilton is following the Franklin County Commissioners, who decided last month to join their health department in passing a similar resolution, in which they noted that black Ohioans have lower life expediencies than their white counterparts. That’s a point that Gov. Mike DeWine and Dr. Amy Acton, director of the state health department, reiterated during a coronavirus briefing Tuesday. Recent data shows that for virus-related deaths in which race was reported, 17% of victims were black, even though the group makes up only 13% of the state’s population. Senate GOP President Larry Obhof plans to meet with members of the black caucus next week to discuss the resolution, said spokesman John Fortney. �DEATH NOTICES/NEWS 2 Thursday, June 4, 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing DEATH NOTICES GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS SMITH detour.

Preference is given to rising high school juniors and seniors from Southeastern Ohio, though students from outside the region also can apply. Students are invited to apply online by June 17. “I know some people say something changed their life,” said Lori Turner, who participated in the 2016 institute. “I really wouldn’t be here, because I had nothing. Nothing got me out of bed. And being able to come here and find that there’s something out there that’s for me, I have a purpose now. And I can get out of bed and I can go do these things, and I can even end up here,” said Turner, now a Political Science major at Ohio University. Click here to watch Turner talk about her experience with the program on YouTube. Students accepted into the program will explore law and the American legal system. They will learn about a variety of legal careers, as well as meet dozens of Ohio University alumni who will discuss their roles as attorneys, judges and advocates. Virtual experiences will include: Watch a Supreme Court of Ohio oral argument; Virtually visit the Athens County Court of Common Pleas; Virtually visit with non-governmental organizations, such as Southeastern Ohio Legal Services and American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio; Meet and interact with Ohio attorneys and judges; Litigate a mock trial in a virtual courtroom. The program, which is free of charge, is made possible by a donation from the Athens County Bar Association and generous alumni support. The Summer Law & Trial Institute is developed, coordinated and implemented by the Center for Law, Justice & Culture in collaboration with the Ohio University College of Arts & Sciences, Athens County Court of Common Pleas, American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, and Southeastern Ohio Legal Services. The institute was founded in 2016 by Larry Hayman, Pre-Law Advisor at the Center for Law, Justice & Culture. Hayman joined the law center in 2014 after eight years of practicing law. Hayman earned a B.A. in Political Science and graduated magna cum laude from the College of Arts & Sciences at Ohio University in 2003. He received his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and is licensed to practice law in Ohio and in U.S. District Court. Ohio Valley Publishing US slow to pass laws limiting use of force COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A wave of police killings of young black men in 2014 prompted 24 states to quickly pass some type of law enforcement reform, but many declined to address the most glaring issue: police use of force. Six years later, only about a third of states have passed laws on the question. The issue is at the heart of nationwide protests set off by the May 25 death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis pressed a knee into Floyd’s neck for several minutes while he pleaded for air. Now, some lawmakers and governors are hoping to harness the renewed wave of anger to push through changes on the use of force they couldn’t manage after 2014, a year that included the deaths at the hands of police of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Eric Garner in New York and 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland. “We’re absolutely at a point in time where we have to do more,” said Maryland state Del. Vanessa Atterbeary, a Democrat who will chair a working group announced this week that will take up use-of-force standards for that state. Pushback from politically influential law enforcement unions prompted some states’ use-of-force proposals to stall, while others have opted for voluntary programs to change policing practices. In some states, lawmakers have even broadened the powers of police, such as increasing penalties for those who ABSOLUTE AUCTION Saturday June 6th @ 10:00 AM at Gallipolis AMVETS, Doors Open at 8:00 AM Auction starts at 10 am Location: Gallipolis AMVETS 108 Liberty Ave. Gallipolis Ohio 45631 attack officers or, as in Tennessee and Utah, limiting the power of independent review boards that investigate police conduct. As of August 2018, at least 16 states had passed use-of-force laws, according to the nonpartisan National Conference of State Legislatures. A handful of those directly restricted what police could do. In Utah and Missouri, for example, force used by officers must be “reasonable and necessary.” Colorado has banned chokeholds, the maneuver used on Garner. Other laws created task forces to set new standards, boosted training or improved tracking of officers’ use of guns and deadly force. In 2014, Republican-led Wisconsin became the first state in the country to enact a law requiring outside investigations when people die in police custody — a law supported by the state’s largest police union. This week, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers asked the Legislature to go further and pass a bill that would require law enforcement agencies to minimize the use of force and prioritize preserving life. In New Jersey, Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy and the attorney general said Tuesday they will update state guidelines governing police use of force for the first time in two decades. Despite the sense in many places that this moment could produce real change, challenges remain. Police unions have often resisted attempts to restrict officers’ use of deadly force and are politically potent in most states. Paige Fernandez, a policing policy adviser at the ACLU, said many unions “have convinced themselves that police are unable to protect themselves if they value the bodily integrity and personal lives of the the people they are supposed to be serving.” The National Fraternal Order of Police issued a statement acknowledging there is “no doubt” Floyd’s death has diminished public trust in police. “Police officers need to treat all of our citizens with respect and understanding and should be held to the very highest standards for their conduct,” the organization said. Since 2016, groups representing police nationwide have contributed $1.3 million directly to candidates for governor and attorney general and given at least another $1 million for independent expenditures that advocate for or against candidates for all statelevel offices, according to an Associated Press analysis of data collected by the National Institute on Money in Politics. Much of that money has been spent in California, where unions initially defeated reforms before the state enacted a pair of laws last year. One allows police to use lethal force only when necessary to defend against an imminent threat of death or serious injury to officers or bystanders. The second requires additional officer training. The California debate was driven in part by the fatal 2018 shooting by Sacramento police of 22-year-old Stephon Clark, who was clutching a cellphone that officers said they mistook for a weapon. The shooting in Ohio of Rice, whose toy Airsoft gun officers said they mistook for a real one, contributed to then-Gov. John Kasich creating the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board. In 2015, the board adopted statewide standards limiting use of deadly force by police officers to defending themselves or others from serious injury or death. The state’s Republican-led Legislature opted against turning those recommendations into law, leaving police agencies to comply vol- untarily. Karhlton Moore, who leads the Ohio Department of Public Safety division that oversees the standards, said roughly three-quarters of Ohio residents now live in areas covered by police agencies that are either certified or in the process of being certified as upholding the standards. But Ohio House Minority Leader Emilia Sykes, a Democrat who is black, criticized Republican lawmakers this week for failing to enact laws recommended by Kasich’s task force, saying their actions “show us time and time again that black lives do not matter.” Ohio Democrats want immediate reforms addressing racism and inequality. In Pennsylvania, a package of bills seeking to limit the justifications for the use of deadly force by police has stalled in the state’s Republicancontrolled Legislature. But changing the law isn’t enough, said Democratic Rep. Summer Lee, a chief sponsor of the bills who represents East Pittsburgh. Police around the nation have condemned the way Floyd was restrained. Inherent racism must be dealt with as well, said Lee, who is black. She said some lawmakers were paying lip service to the necessity of fighting racism — but weren’t taking action. “We have bills — we have tangible things the Legislature can do today,” Lee said. ___ Associated Press writers Scott Bauer in Madison, Wisconsin; Mike Catalini in Trenton, New Jersey; Kimberlee Kruesi in Nashville, Tennessee; Marc Levy in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; David Lieb in Jefferson City, Missouri; Geoff Mulvihill in Cherry Hill, New Jersey; Don Thompson in Sacramento, Calif.; Andrew Welsh-Huggins in Columbus; Lindsay Whitehurst in Salt Lake City; and Brian Witte in Annapolis, Maryland, contributed to this report.

Patterson Jr. License #201900116 MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Cristobal made landfall in Mexico’s Gulf coast state of Campeche on Wednesday, dumping heavy rain on the already soaked region ahead of an expected eventual turn toward the United States, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The Mexican army evacuated 138 people in Campeche after floodwaters threatened homes, and police in Campeche reported water washing across highways. The storm’s sustained winds weakened to 50 mph after it moved inland, where it was expected to become a tropical depression by today before heading back into the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, where it could gather strength again. By Sunday it could move north and threaten the U.S. Gulf Coast. While Cristobal is forecast to regain tropical storm strength as it nears the U.S. coast, “the model guidance currently suggests that the atmospheric environment over the Gulf will not be very conducive for strengthening,” the hurricane center wrote. Amy Grant has open heart surgery NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A publicist for Amy Grant says the contemporary Christian singer had open heart surgery on Wednesday to fix a heart condition she has had since birth. Doctors discovered Grant had a heart condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) during a routine checkup. Velvet Kelm, her publicist, said Grant’s doctor said the surgery “couldn’t have gone better.” Grant, who has been married to country singer Vince Gill for 20 years, is sixtime Grammy winner with well known crossover pop hits like “Baby, Baby,” “Every Heartbeat” and “That’s What Love is For.” GENERAL NEWS ASSIGNMENT REPORTER WANTED for the Gallipolis Daily Tribune.

The PGA Tour has a deal that would bring a one-time event to Muirfield Village a week before the Memorial, giving it tournaments in consecutive weeks. Still to be determined is what role Nicklaus would play in the first event. He is the tournament host of the Memorial, which dates to 1976 and has become one of the premier events on the PGA Tour schedule. Tiger Woods holds the record with five victories at Muirfield Village. Patrick Cantlay is the defending champion. Muirfield Village also has hosted a Ryder Cup (1987), Solheim Cup (1998) and Presidents Cup (2013). The club is confident the course can hold up to two tournaments in two weeks.

Because of the coronavirus outbreak, the reopening has been pushed back two months to July 1 and the induction ceremony — which will posthumously honor Bryant along with longtime college coach Eddie Sutton — is being postponed, either to October or the spring. A commemorative coin that was supposed to be released at the Final Four will instead go on sale on Thursday. “All of these things are going to happen. It’s just a matter of the timing’s going to be delayed,” Hall president and CEO John Doleva said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “We will have the most remarkable class ever, when that happens. We didn’t plan it this way and it’s not the way we would have chosen to do it,” he said. “But we’re fortunate that our plans were able See HALL | 7 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS Rio hosting Jim Marshall Memorial golf outing JACKSON, Ohio — The Veterans Association at the University of Rio Grande will host their 3rd annual Jim Marshall Memorial Golf Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 5, at Franklin Valley Golf Course in Jackson County. The event — which has been pushed back from its original June 13 date — will begin at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start and the format is a 4-man scramble. The cost is $50 per player, plus mulligans are available for $10 per individual. There is also a $20 skins fee per team, with cash prizes available for skins. Prizes will be awarded, plus breakfast and lunch will be provided. Beer will be available for purchase at the event as well. Hole and tee box sponsorship is available at a cost of $100 per hole or tee box. All funds raised from the event helps Rio Grande honor veterans at the 2020 Jim Marshall Veteran of the Year Award Banquet — an annual event held every year the last Saturday of October. This year’s banquet is slated for Oct. 31. For more information, to register or to set up a sponsorship, contact Delyssa Edwards by email at dedwards@rio.edu or by phone at 740-245-4427. Rio Grande cancels all summer camps RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande has announced the cancellation of its entire 2020 summer camp schedule due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The cancellations include all athletic camps, as well as all sessions of band camps. The school has also announced its schedule for summer courses. Term No. 1, which will be online only, is set for June 1-July 3. Term No. 2, which will see the return on face-toface instruction, will take place July 6-Aug. 7. School officials have also announced that the start date of the 2020-21 Fall Term has been moved back one week to Monday, Aug. 31.

At least the NFL has had time on its side so far, but a Sept. 10 launch for the regular season isn’t that far away. The television networks couldn’t be more invested in getting pro football onto their airwaves. Live sports programming is now being looked at almost as essential rather than simply as entertainment. That’s where the NFL is king — and nothing else in sports comes close. Same thing on local levels, where team radio deals are particularly lucrative, and advertisers reach a segmented audience they covet. With much of the nation reopening businesses that benefit from the NFL playing in their communities, there will be increasing anxiety in those municipalities that those games occur. Even if fans are barred or limited in stadiums, sports bars and restaurants that cater to the fans could be open, hopefully obeying social distancing protocols. Those fans, and particularly the ones who engage in fantasy football or bet directly on games, figure to be the most supportive group of all to have the NFL stick to its plans as much as reasonably possible. While players must insist on the healthiest environment for a return to practicing and, eventually, to playing, it’s difficult to believe a vast majority of them even consider the possibility of no 2020 season. NFL careers are shorter than in any other team sport, and spending basically 20 months away from on-field action for so many could be devastating. Not to mention the quality of football we’d be watching after such a hiatus. Naturally, nobody is saying the NFL should put on blinders and proceed indiscriminately on schedule, something Vincent and his boss, Commissioner Roger Goodell, have made clear won’t happen. Again, the league has the benefit of the calendar — and the popularity of the league that would allow it to stretch games into next spring without a substantial loss of audience or attention. Make no mistake, though. Call it support or call it pressure, it’s coming for America’s No. 1 sport. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Hall ball seasons will look like then. “Finding a date in that period of time that’s From page 6 going to work in the new basketball schedule is to remain in place, even a bit of a trick,” Doleva though the timing has said. “It is correct that changed.” the August date is done.

It was one year ago Tuesday, that Warren, a former NFL executive with the Minnesota Vikings, was offered the job of Big Ten commissioner. He officially took over for former commissioner Jim Delany in January and has been dealing with crises in college sports ever since, starting with a pandemic that forced the cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournament and the rest of spring sports. Schools are beginning to bring athletes back to campus for voluntary workouts. The NCAA gave the go-ahead for schools to start that process on on June 1, providing hope that football season will go on as scheduled.
