Commissioners Jimmy Will, Shannon Miller and Tim Ihle opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the Chester Courthouse.

Local and traveling anglers will be vying for cash, prizes, and an opportunity to compete in the regional championships and the 2021 King Kat Classic. According to a news release from event organizers, anglers ﬁshing the May 8 event will be testing their catﬁshing skills against other anglers and whatever Mother Nature has in store. This event is a Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — The legal authority of a shouted tip to a state trooper about an impaired driver — “That lady is drunk!” — is before the Ohio Supreme Court in a question over constitutional protections from illegal search and seizure. At issue is the 2017 arrest of a woman in Hamilton County whose blood-alcohol levels tested at more than twice the legal limit. Lower courts sided with the woman’s arguments that the tip, from an unidentiﬁed man, was anonymous and didn’t give the trooper cause to investigate. Prosecutors say the trooper was justiﬁed in stopping the woman, arguing that the Department of Homeland Security’s directive, “If you see something, say something,” applies to stopping drunken drivers as it does to terrorist attacks.

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 3 Biden wants infrastructure package OK’d over summer WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is aiming for summer passage of an infrastructure plan that is expected to cost more than $3 trillion, and the White House hopes to take a more deliberate and collaborative approach with the contentious Congress than it did on the COVID-19 rescue package, ofﬁcials said. The president will announce parts of his “Build Back Better” package Wednesday in Pittsburgh. Sweeping in scope, the ambitious plan aims to make generational investments in infrastructure, revive domestic manufacturing, combat climate change and keep the United States competitive with China, according to the ofﬁcials. It could include $3 trillion in tax increases. The ﬁnal price tag is in ﬂux but was expected to be between $3 trillion and $4 trillion. One White House ofﬁcial said Monday night that it may end up being closer to $3 trillion. Though the White House is emphasizing the urgency, it also insists this will not be considered an emergency response like the $1.9 trillion virus relief bill that Biden signed into law over Republican objections earlier this month. The administration wants to see progress on the new legislation by Memorial Day and have it passed over the summer, White House ofﬁcials said. “The president has a plan to ﬁx our infrastructure and a plan to pay for it,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday. “But we certainly expect to have the discussion with members of Congress, as we move forward, about areas where they agree, where they disagree, where they would like to see greater emphasis or not.” The administration is setting the political pace and tone for this next big priority in Biden’s agenda. The COVID-19 bill, though broadly popular with voters of both parties, exposed the president to criticism for going it alone with only Democratic votes. White House ofﬁcials believe this time there will be far more of an opportu- nity to win some GOP support. As the committees in Congress begin to tackle individual provisions — including those on transportation, China and others — the White House will encourage those efforts. Then it will work through the tax increases separately, according to ofﬁcials. Administration ofﬁcials are sending signals that the White House will listen to suggestions and criticism alike from both parties and that signiﬁcant changes could occur during the legislative process. At the same time, congressional leaders are preparing a go-it-alone strategy, much as was done in the virus aid package, in case Congress hits a wall of GOP opposition. “If they share a goal of building our infrastructure for the future, but don’t like the way he’s going to propose to pay for it, we’re happy to look at their proposals,” Psaki said. “If they don’t want to pay for it, I guess they can propose that, too. Maybe they don’t support infrastructure spending.” Tip because it was based on “an anonymous, unreliable tip.” Even when the trooper did stop the woman as she backed out of her parking space, his contention that her “blank stare” justiﬁed stopping her was misplaced, said defense attorney Tad Brittingham in a September court ﬁling. “If a blank stare is indicative of intoxication, then attorneys are often presumptively intoxicated while attending continuing legal education events statewide,” Brittingham said in the ﬁling. “Students are presumptively intoxicated during algebra class.” He also argued that the “That lady is drunk!” tip amounts to hearsay, since the man was relying on information told to him by the store clerk, Brittingham said. Hamilton County appealed lower court rulings siding with Tidwell to the state Supreme Court, which held oral arguments Tuesday. A decision isn’t expected for weeks. Justices appeared skeptical of Brittingham’s arguments that the shouted tip wasn’t enough for the trooper to act on. “Do you think it would have been reasonable to allow this person to pull out into trafﬁc after the ofﬁcer had been told that that person was driving drunk?” Justice Patrick DeWine asked Brittingham. Brittingham responded that it would have been reasonable for the witness not to leave the scene. “Don’t we want to discourage people standing idly by and not reporting something suspicious?” Justice Melody Stewart asked a few minutes later. Brittingham replied that there was no evidence the tipster “actually saw or observed or witnessed anything,” and instead relied on info relayed from the store clerk. Prosecutors argue that simple face-to-face contact between an unidentiﬁed citizen and an ofﬁcer is enough to elevate the tipster from an anonymous source to “a citizen informant” with a high degree of credibility. The state Public Defender’s Ofﬁce ﬁled a motion siding with the driver, while the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce is asking the high court to allow the tip to be used. From page 1 action may have saved lives.” Court records show that Illanz was ﬁnishing up a trafﬁc crash report at a gas station in southwestern Ohio on Nov. 11, 2017, when a man walked out of the station and shouted at the trooper: “Hey, you need to stop that vehicle. That lady is drunk!” The trooper stopped the driver, Sherry Tidwell, as she backed out of her parking space. He said he smelled alcohol in the woman’s car, noted that her eyes were bloodshot and glassy and her speech was slurred, according to court records. The woman denied drinking. Tidwell had a blood-alcohol level of 0.213% following a test by a Hamilton County sheriff’s deputy who arrived at the scene, according to Supreme Court ﬁlings. The legal limit in Ohio is 0.08%. The tipster left the scene and was never identiﬁed. Tidwell was charged with driving under the inﬂuence but successfully argued to lower courts that the stop was unconstitutional TODAY IN HISTORY Franklin D.

(AP) — Somewhere under the thick red haze ﬂoating over Bristol Motor Speedway, Joey Logano took the checkered ﬂag for NASCAR’s ﬁrst Cup Series race at a dirt track in 50 years. He couldn’t see much — visibility was next to nothing during this Monday dust storm — but Logano clung to the familiar bottom lane around the bullring to collect the checkered ﬂag on this NASCAR experiment. Logano got a jump on Denny Hamlin on the overtime restart to earn his third career victory at Bristol. But this was not the Bristol of old, the track had been covered with 2,300 truckloads of red Tennessee clay so that NASCAR could add a dirt track to the Cup schedule for the ﬁrst time since 1970. “How about Bristol on dirt, guys! This is incredible,” Logano said to the crowd, a reduced capacity sellout of about 30,000 fans. “There’s nothing like winning at Bristol, but putting it on dirt and being the ﬁrst to do it is very special.” Logano became the seventh race winner through seven races this season and gave Team Penske back-to-back victories. Ryan Blaney won in a Penske Ford last week. The Logano victory closed a weekend of uncertainty and even some hysteria as NASCAR launched this drive through the dirt. It was broadcast partner Fox who wanted a dirt race on the Cup schedule and Speedway Motorsports, seeking some new energy at its beloved Bristol bullring, said it would take the race. So NASCAR awarded the experiment to Bristol, bypassing dozens of quality established dirt tracks across the country. The snub extended to Tony Stewart, who had successfully hosted seven Truck Series races at his Eldora Speedway dirt track in Ohio but said was never considered for a Cup race. Marcus Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports, insisted concrete Bristol was up to the challenge and he told The Associated Press he’d spent nearly $2 million to make the dirt dream a reality. Smith was pleased with the buzz generated by the event, even as NASCAR huddled for solutions to extreme dust, poor tire durability and shifting weather conditions that made the buildup a muddy mess. When race day ﬁnally arrived, torrential overnight rains had ﬂooded the Bristol grounds and NASCAR had to postpone Sunday’s show by a day. Through all the consternation, Smith remained optimistic and headed to the track Monday morning convinced this dirt project was a success. The ﬁnal product was a doubleheader — Martin Truex Jr. won his ﬁrst Truck Series race in 15 years to open the day — and then Logano closed the Cup race with the overtime victory. Everyone seemed happy, and before the race was even over, the track announced over the public address system that Bristol would run on dirt again next season. “It’s only my fourth dirt race ever, so I had a lot of fun trying to ﬁgure it out,” Logano said. “I was having a blast racing, trying to ﬁnd the right lanes, moving around.” Ricky Stenhouse Jr., a veteran dirt racer, was second for his highest ﬁnish of the season. Hamlin, who had last raced on dirt in go-karts when he was 8, ﬁnished third. Daniel Suarez was a season-best fourth for new team Trackhouse Racing, which is part-owned by Pitbull.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association has released the 2020-21 All-Ohio girls basketball teams, featuring three players from the Ohio Valley Publishing area.

Blue Angels thump Belpre, 17-3 From Staff Reports Softball board with one run on three hits in the top of the third, and then the defense did its job, holding NYHS scoreless for the next four frames. A no-out single by Kayla Evans brought Michelle Camp around to score, but the next two Lady Tornadoes were retired. A two-out single by Kassidy Chaney brought Evans home, and then Ally Shuler doubled home Chaney to give the guests the lead at 4-3. Kylee Rife then drove in Shuler for what turned out to be a very important insurance run, as Nelsonville-York scored once in the bottom of the seventh, but left the potential game-tying run stranded on second base. Chaney — who earned the win in a complete game, striking out six batters — led the SHS offense, going 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI. Shuler and Evans both had two hits for Southern, with Shuler driving in two runs and scoring once, and Evans crossing home plate twice.

Matthew Blanchard was the winning pitcher of record with a ﬁve-inning effort for the Eagles, striking out 10 batters. Brayden Smith and Preston Thorla both went 3-for-4 and scored a run in the win, with Smith doubling twice.

Logano From page 5 practice and he caught on so quickly that he led his ﬁrst laps of the season — 58 of them in all — and even bumped Logano out of his way to take over the point. But Logano took over with 61 laps remaining and wasn’t challenged until the ﬁnal restart when the race went to a two-lap overtime. It was impossible to handicap this ﬁrst dirt race because the teams had no idea how to prepare and the drivers had wildly varying experience. Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell, two of the top dirt racers in the country, were the favorites and the race might have gone differently had the two not crashed with each other 54 laps into the race. Seven of the Cup regulars entered the Truck Series race just to get some track time on an unknown surface, a decision that bought them two additional practice sessions as well as Monday’s earlier race. Truex, a dirt novice, dominated the ﬁeld to win the trucks and led a race-high 126 of the 253 laps. �COMICS 8 Wednesday, March 31, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Having A Yard Sale?

The New York City Police Department says the woman was attacked Monday afternoon by a man who repeatedly kicked her in front of witnesses who seemingly stood by. (KKA).

There were 11 such attacks by the same time last year. On Friday, in the same neighborhood as Monday’s attack, a 65-year-old Asian American woman was accosted by a man waving an unknown object and shouting anti-Asian insults. A 48-yearold man was arrested the next day and charged with menacing. He is not suspected in Monday’s attack. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called Monday’s attack “horrifying and repugnant” and he ordered a state police hate crimes task force to offer its assistance to the NYPD. No arrests have been made. The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force released surveillance video of the attack and photographs of the suspect Monday evening and asked anyone with information to contact the department’s conﬁdential hot line or submit tips online.

Call out aid. Their union said they called for help immediately. The attacker was able to casually walk away while onlookers watched, the video showed. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called the video of the attack “absolutely disgusting and outrageous” and said it was “absolutely unacceptable” what’s happening. Go and try and help. Immediately call for help. Call 911. This is something where we all have to be part of the solution. We can’t just stand back and watch a heinous act happening.” Mayoral candidate Andrew Yang, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, said the victim “could easily have been my mother.” He too criticized the bystanders, saying their inaction was “exactly the opposite of what we need here in New York City.” The attack comes amid a national spike in anti-Asian hate crimes, and happened just weeks after a mass shooting in Atlanta that left eight people dead, six of them women of Asian descent. The surge in violence has been linked in part to misplaced blame for the coronavirus and former President Donald Trump’s use of racially charged terms like “Chinese virus.” This year in New York City there have been 33 hate crimes Elizabeth 62/32 Spencer 61/29 Buffalo 62/30 Ironton 60/30 Milton 62/30 St. Albans 62/30 Huntington 59/30 NATIONAL FORECAST 110s 100s Seattle 60/42 90s 80s Billings 70s 55/36 60s 50s 40s 30s San Francisco 20s 78/54 10s Denver 0s 51/29 -0s -10s Los Angeles 87/61 T-storms Rain El Paso Showers 68/46 Snow Flurries Ice Chihuahua Cold Front 77/44 Warm Front Stationary Front Clendenin 63/30 Charleston 61/30 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
