Funding infrastructure projects and improving water quality across the state continues to be a priority of Governor Mike DeWine’s administration. These loans (ﬁnanced though the state’s revolving fund) were approved between Jan. 1 and March 31. The lower interest rates will save these communities more than $3.6 million. “By investing in drinking water and wastewater infrastructure, we are working toward a better quality of life for all Ohioans,” said Governor DeWine. “Water issues exist everywhere, and these infrastructure projects help ensure that these community-level, basic public services are safe and reliable for generations to come.” Statewide, Ohio EPA awarded approximately $269.8 million in loans during the ﬁrst quarter of 2022, including more than $6 million in principal forgiveness. Combined, Ohio communities will save approximately $43.8 million when compared to marketrate loans. The projects are improving Ohio’s surface water quality and the reliability and quality of Ohio drinking water systems. This funding includes assistance to local health districts to help low-income property owners repair or replace failing household sewage treatment systems. Ohio EPA ﬁnanced approximately $797 million for public works projects in 2021, saving communities more than $166 million in interest when compared to market-rate loans. For the ﬁrst quarter of 2022, the following Southeast Ohio projects are receiving funding: Powhatan Point is receiving $2 million to replace three rotating biological contractors and convert See WATER | 10 Lorna Hart | OVP Chicken Bar-B-Q will be at the Racine Fire Station on Monday at 11 a.m. Many Independence Day events planned in Ohio Valley Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — Meigs and Gallia counties will be celebrating Independence Day this weekend with many events and ﬁreworks throughout the area.

The home countries shameful, as is political Aide: Trump dismissed Jan. 6 threats, wanted to join crowd By Mary Clare Jalonick, Farnoush Amiri, Eric Tucker and Michael Balsamo Associated Press WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump dismissed the presence of armed protesters headed to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and even endorsed their calls to “hang Mike Pence,” a key former White House aide told House investigators Tuesday, describing chaotic scenes inside and outside the executive mansion as Trump argued to accompany his supporters. Trump was informed that some of the protesters in the crowd outside the White House had weapons, but he told ofﬁcials to “let my people in” and march to the Capitol, testiﬁed Cassidy Hutchinson, who was a special assistant to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Hutchinson depicted a president ﬂailing in anger and prone to violent outbursts as the window to overturn his election loss closed and as aides sought to rein in his impulses. Told by security ofﬁcials that it wasn’t safe to go to the Capitol after he addressed his supporters, he lunged toward the steering wheel of the presidential SUV. Hutchinson said she was told of the altercation in the armored vehicle — dubbed “The Beast” — by Meadows’ deputy shortly after it happened. It wasn’t clear what Trump would have done at the Capitol as a violent mob of his supporters was breaking in. But there were conversations about him “going into the House chamber at one point,” Hutchinson said. As his supporters laid siege to Congress, both Trump and Meadows appeared unconcerned about cries in the crowd to “hang Mike Pence!” The president tweeted during the attack that Pence didn’t have the “courage” to object to President Joe Biden’s victory as he presided over the joint session of Congress that day. Hutchinson quoted Meadows as saying that Trump “thinks Mike deserves it.” And as for the rioters, Meadows said, “He doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong.” Hutchinson’s explosive testimony – featured in a surprise hearing announced just 24 hours earlier -- came as the House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection holds a series of hearings to inform the public about what happened as Trump’s supporters beat police, broke in through windows and doors and interrupted the certiﬁcation of Biden’s victory. “As an American I was disgusted,” Hutchinson told the committee, reacting to Trump’s tweet about Pence. “It was unpatriotic, it was un-American, and you were watching the Capitol building get defaced over a lie.” “I still struggle to work through the emotions of that,” she added. Hutchinson quoted Trump as directing his staff, in profane terms, to take away the metaldetecting magnetometers that he thought would slow down supporters who’d gathered in Washington. In videotaped testimony played before the committee, she recalled the former president saying words to the effect of: “”I don’t f-in’ care that they have weapons.” “They’re not here to hurt me. Take the f-in’ mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here,” Hutchinson testiﬁed. Before they left the Ellipse, where Trump had addressed them between the White House and the Washington Monument, she said, she received an angry call from House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, who had just heard the president say he was coming to the Capitol. “Don’t come up here,” McCarthy told her, before hanging up. In the days before the attack, Hutchinson said that she was “scared, and nervous for what could happen” after conversations with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Meadows and others. Meadows told Hutchinson that “things might get real, real bad,” she said. But she described him as unconcerned as security ofﬁcials told him about the people at Trump’s rally who had been caught with weapons - including people wearing armor and carrying automatic ﬁrearms. Giuliani told her it was going to be “a great day” and “we’re going to the Capitol.” As a White House insider, she told stories of a raging president who was unable to acknowledge his defeat. At the beginning of December, Hutchinson said, she heard noise inside the White House around the time an Associated Press article was published in which then-Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department had not found evidence of voter fraud that could have affected the election outcome. She said she entered a room and noticed ketchup dripping down a wall and broken porcelain. The president, it turned out, had thrown his lunch at the wall in disgust over the article and she was urged to steer clear of him. The 25-year-old, who was a special assistant and aide to former Trump chief of staff Meadows, had earlier provided a trove of information to congressional investigators and had sat for interviews behind closed doors. The committee called the surprise hearing this week after she agreed to give public testimony.

They raised four children there and welcomed multiple generations of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including some who lived right next door. “You can see it’s not vacant land,” Corsi said on a recent warm summer day as she sat on her porch. Corsi and more than 50 other homeowners on the Intel site aren’t being forcibly removed. Two holding companies working on behalf of Intel have spent millions on offers to homeowners, often wellabove market rates. The companies paid Corsi just over $1 million, and Intel is putting her up in a house rent-free before she moves to her new home. But money was never the issue, Corsi said. “It was the happiness that we had,” she said. “That’s what really hurts.” Intel announced the Ohio development in January as part of the company’s efforts to alleviate a global shortage of chips powering everything from phones to cars to home appliances. It’s the largest economic development investment in Ohio history. “Silicon Heartland — a new epicenter of leadingedge tech!” Intel CEO Patrick Gelsinger tweeted about the announcement. An Ohio clothing company quickly followed suit with T-shirts declaring Ohio “The Silicon Heartland” with computers superimposed onto the state seal. Construction of two factories, or fabs, is expected to begin this Paul Vernon | AP Tressie Corsi sits with her great-great-granddaughter Amelia Hollis on the porch of the house she has owned in Johnstown, Ohio, since 1972. She will have to give the house to make way for an Intel manufacturing plant.

New Albany Mayor Sloan Spalding understands the loss that people are experiencing, especially those leaving their rural “forever homes” of decades or more. But Ohio, which just lost another congressional seat and has static population, could be transformed by Intel, he said. Even if the project draws out-of-staters, GOP Lt. Gov. Jon Husted said, “Everybody who works at the plant will be an Ohioan.” Watching the development unfold with mixed feelings is Tressie’s granddaughter, Tiffany Hollis, who lives in Johnstown where she runs Dashing Diner Uptown. Most days ﬁnd her working alongside her mother and daughter, serving up homestyle meals including Tressie’s recipes for gravy and fried potatoes. Tiffany, 45, spent many days on her grandmother’s property and proudly lived next door on 3 acres where he was raising two grandchildren. He’s relocating to 14 acres where he and his mother will live. One of Tressie’s grandsons, Tony Kelly, lives one door down on 14 wooded acres with a pond with his wife and daughters ages 5 and 7. He took the approximately $1.7 million he was offered and bought 43 acres a few miles away. Tony, 48, acknowledges he was paid well more than what his property was worth. But he also recounts the heart attack he suffered and his wife’s ulcer as they dealt with the stress. And negotiations with the holding companies weren’t exactly a soft sell, with warnings of living in “a war zone” of trucks and construction if they didn’t cooperate. “There’s not even a gauge that will read out how bad this has been on us,” he said. “It’s been horrible.” The New Albany Company, a private real estate development ﬁrm that oversaw offers to homeowners, recognizes that change is difﬁcult, director of development Tom Rubey said. “Our goal while we including a 30-year tax break. Intel has outlined $150 million in educational funding aimed at growing the semiconductor industry regionally and nationally. “If you travel 20 miles east of Columbus, Ohio, you’ll ﬁnd 1,000 empty acres of land,” Biden said during March’s State of the Union speech. “It won’t look like much. But if you stop and look closely, you’ll see a ﬁeld of dreams.” At ﬁrst blush, the plant’s future location does feel far from anything, surrounded by farms, ﬁelds and houses set on multi-acre plots. In fact, it’s now part of the booming city of New Albany — a tony land of good schools and big houses where white fences line streets for miles. The city already boasts a large business park where 19,000 people work, as well as Amazon, Facebook and Google data centers. New Albany annexed the Intel property, but the bigger impact has been on people in nearby Johnstown, current population 5,200. And few families have been as deeply affected as Corsi and her relatives. Her son, Paul Corsi Jr., year, with production coming online at the end of 2025. Total investment could top $100 billion over the decade, with six additional factories down the road. The project is expected to create 3,000 company jobs with an average salary of $135,000 and 7,000 construction jobs. Dozens of Intel suppliers will provide more jobs. Backers promote both the project’s economic development potential and its national security beneﬁts. The U.S. share of the worldwide chip manufacturing market has declined from 37% in 1990 to 12% today, according to the Semiconductor Industry Association, and shortages have become a potential risk. Biden has pushed for the passage of the federal CHIPS for America Act, currently stalled in Congress, that would provide billions for semiconductor research and production. The “scope and pace of our expansion in Ohio will depend heavily on funding from the CHIPS Act,” Intel spokesperson Linda Qian said, though there’s no indication the project won’t go forward. To win the project, Ohio offered Intel roughly $2 billion in incentives, displays photos of herself, her daughter Allie and her daughter Amelia, all being bathed in the same kitchen sink over the years. Tiffany is torn by the project and its impact on her extended family, and she fears that her business will be overrun by chain restaurants. The family is not anti-Intel, she’s quick to point out, saying they use Intel products and believe semiconductors should be made on U.S. soil. From a business perspective, Intel is a great opportunity. “But when your heart is with a place — we don’t want it to happen,” she said. “Like you want it to happen, but just not in your backyard.” At ground zero of the “Silicon Heartland,” the Corsi family spent the last few weeks saying goodbye before Tressie’s departure for good last week. “That tree has been my neighbor for 50 years. So sad to see it is no longer. Terrible,” she posted on Facebook when a farm’s centuries-old oak tree was cut down. Tressie’s family removed a section of wall from her house recording her great-grandson Luke’s height measurements. Tony used a forklift to remove a boulder at the end of the driveway that grandchildren once raced to and from. Paul Jr. wrapped crime scene tape around an ornamental cherry tree that Paul Sr. gifted Tressie to protect it from construction. The wall section, stone and tree are all destined for Tressie’s new home. Saving those artifacts provide some consolation to Tressie. But they can’t replace the experience of sitting on her porch, sipping coffee in the morning while she watched hummingbirds at the feeder. In recent days, Tressie knew she had to stop ﬁlling it. “Because they’ll depend on it,” she said. “And then when they depend on that, when I go, what are they going to do?” Clendenin 85/58 Charleston 84/57 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Mayfield said the Browns have work ahead if they want him to help them through their situation with Deshaun Watson. Mayfield, speaking at his football camp near the University of Oklahoma’s campus on Tuesday, didn’t entirely close the door on stepping in if needed. NORMAN, Okla. — Baker Mayﬁeld said the Cleveland Browns have work ahead if they want him to help them through their situation with Deshaun Watson. Mayﬁeld, speaking at his football camp near the University of Oklahoma’s campus on Tuesday, didn’t entirely close the door on stepping in if needed. “No, I think for that to happen, there would have to be some reaching out,” Mayﬁeld said. “But we’re ready to move on, I think, on both sides.” The Browns made a major trade for Watson in March and then signed him to a record-setting $230 million contract. Now, Watson faces a possible suspension from the league stemming from accusations of sexual misconduct by two dozen massage therapists in Texas. Former U.S. District Judge Sue Robinson, who was jointly appointed by the NFL and the NFL Players’ Association, will hold a hearing to determine whether Watson violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and whether to impose discipline. Mayﬁeld said he expected to be traded before the NFL draft, but he’s still on the team roughly a month before the opening of train- ing camps. “I think I got frustrated with it not happening before minicamp and all those things, but it’s just the stuff that’s out of my control,” he said. “And so, you know, let those things happen and fall in place.” Mayﬁeld said he’s been working out with veteran receivers Danny Amendola and Cole Beasley and some others from the area near Lake Travis in Texas. He said that work gets his mind off the situation. “You know, obviously if I was focused on not having a team and not being able to (prepare with a team), it’d be pretty miserable,” he See MAYFIELD | 8 Guardians end skid, rally past Twins in day-night DH opener By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND — Amed Rosario’s clutch tworun single in the eighth inning rallied Cleveland to a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins in the ﬁrst game of a day-night doubleheader Tuesday, snapping the Guardians’ ﬁve-game losing streak. Down 2-1 and in danger of dropping four games behind the Twins in the AL Central, the Guardians came back against reliever Emilio Pagán (1-3), who walked Myles Straw and rookie Steven Kwan before facing Rosario. Cleveland’s shortstop then slapped a 3-2 pitch through the middle to give the Guardians a major lift. Rosario went 3 for 4 and has ﬁve three-hit games in June. The division rivals are playing ﬁve times in four days during a stretch in which they’ll meet eight times in 10 days. Carlos Correa’s homer leading off the eighth had given the Twins a 2-1 lead. Correa connected on a 1-0 pitch from reliever Sam Hentges (2-0), driving his ninth homer — and fourth in ﬁve games against Cleveland this season — just over the railing in left ﬁeld. Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase worked the ninth for his 18th save in 20 tries. Gilberto Celestino had an RBI triple in the seventh for the Twins, blanked on three hits over the ﬁrst six innings by Guardians starter Zach Plesac. Minnesota starter Devin Smeltzer was equally effective, holding the Guardians to just one run and striking out nine in six innings. Cleveland’s run off Smeltzer was a gift. With Rosario on ﬁrst with a single, Franmil Reyes’ high pop landed inside the line in front of right ﬁelder Max Kepler, who either lost it in the sun or never saw it off the bat. New, old guy Plesac threw to catcher Sandy León, who was reacquired in a trade from Cincinnati before the game. The Guardians were in a bind with catcher Austin Hedges going on the injured list with a concussion sustained last weekend. León was with Cleveland for 25 games in 2020. On the mound Looking to save his bullpen for the doubleheader, Guardians manager Terry Francona used utilityman Ernie Clement to pitch the ninth in Monday’s 11-1 blowout loss. Clement gave up two runs but got an inning-ending double play. Francona had a similar experience, pitching as a position player for Milwaukee against Oakland in 1989. “If you look, we had one strikeout as a staff that day,” he said with a smile. “It was me. Struck out Stan Javier. Then it kind of got me going. Went up to Seattle the next day and hit a home run.” Ron Schwane | AP Cleveland Guardians’ Amed Rosario scores behind Minnesota Twins catcher Gary Sanchez on a double by designated hitter Franmil Reyes during the first inning in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday in Cleveland.

Swiatek, again wearing a pin with the colors of Ukraine on her hat, started out like she left off in her last match at the French Open. But she went down 3-1 in the second set before recovering. “The second set, at the beginning I lost my focus a little bit and she used that pretty well,” Swiatek said. Coco Gauff, who lost to Swiatek in this year’s French Open ﬁnal, also won her opening match. The 11th-seeded American beat Elena-Gabriela Ruse of Romania 2-6, 6-3, 7-5.

The Cavs value his productivity and were thrilled with his attitude last season, when he stayed around the team while rehabbing his injury. Sexton’s enthusiasm played a role in the Cavs’ 22-win improvement. Sexton’s role isn’t as clear as it once was on a team with solid young talent in Garland, second-year forward Evan Mobley and AllStar center Jarrett Allen. However, Koby Altman, the team’s president of basketball operations, last week called Sexton “super important” and a “big part of our culture.” The Cavs also made a two-way qualifying offer to guard R.J.

Watson This will be the ﬁrst hearing for Robinson, who was the ﬁrst woman Chief Judge for the District of Delaware. Previously, Goodell had the authority to impose discipline for violations of the personal conduct policy. Still, Goodell holds considerable power. If either the union or league appeals Robinson’s decision, Goodell or his designee “will issue a written decision that will constitute full, ﬁnal and complete disposition of the dispute,” per terms of Article 46 in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. That means Goodell could ultimately overrule Robinson’s decision and give Watson one year or even an indeﬁnite suspension due to the potential for more cases. AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers made the expected move and Tuesday extended a qualifying offer to guard Collin Sexton, who missed most of last season with a knee injury. Sexton is now a restricted free agent and the high-energy scorer could draw interest from other teams. If Sexton receives an offer sheet, the Cavs can match it. Teams can begin negotiating with free agents on Thursday. A ﬁrst-round pick in 2018, Sexton played in just 11 games last season before tearing meniscus in his right knee and Tony Dejak | AP file Cleveland Cavaliers’ Collin Sexton (2) drives against Portland Trail Blazers’ Damian Lillard (0) in the first half Nov. 3 in Cleveland.

(AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference is going forward with a plan to change its football scheduling model, with the biggest change being the elimination of divisions. The new plan, adopted by the league’s athletic directors and faculty athletic representatives on Tuesday, will be what the league calls a 3-5-5 model and goes into effect with the 2023 season. All 14 of the ACC’s football members will have three permanent scheduling partners and play those schools each year. They’ll face the other 10 schools once every two years; ﬁve one year, ﬁve the next. It means that every ACC team will play all conference opponents home and away at least once every four years. “The future ACC football scheduling model provides signiﬁcant enhancements for our schools and conference, with the most important being our student-athletes having the opportunity to play every school both home and away over a four-year period,” ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said. The scheduling change ends the quirk that some ACC schools can go years without facing another school from the league. For example, Miami hasn’t played Wake Forest since 2013 even though both have been ACC members that entire time. The ACC is keeping its championship game. Instead of pitting division champions, the top two teams based on conference winning percentage will make the title game. AP source: Hardy accepts offer to become Jazz coach Boston Celtics assistant Will Hardy has accepted an offer to become the coach of the Utah Jazz, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said Tuesday. Hardy and the Jazz were in the process of ﬁnalizing contract language, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side announced the deal publicly. Hardy will become an NBA head coach for the ﬁrst time. He will replace Quin Snyder, who decided to leave the Jazz earlier this month after eight seasons. ESPN and The Athletic ﬁrst reported the agreement between Hardy and the Jazz. Hardy spent one season in Boston, helping the Celtics reach the NBA Finals. His previous 11 seasons were spent with the San Antonio Spurs, starting as a basketball operations intern, moving into the video room and eventually becoming an assistant under Gregg Popovich. Hardy also assisted Popovich during USA Basketball’s appearances at the 2019 Basketball World Cup and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. BACKED BY A YEAR-ROUND CLOG-FREE GUARANTEE EXCLUSIVE LIMITED TIME OFFER!

After a two-hour preliminary hearing, Ventura County Judge David Worley ruled that 40-year-old Jason Allen Alexander should be held to answer on the charge, along with misdemeanor counts of trespassing, vandalism and battery, court records showed. Not guilty pleas to all the charges were entered by an attorney for Alexander, who did not attend and remains jailed.

Spencer ﬁrst brought his concerns about the crossing to a Dec. 2, 2019, commission meeting. He was told to contact the Missouri Department of Transportation’s Railroad Safety division. A week later, commissioners spoke with ofﬁcials from the state agency and were told “it is on their plans to repair,” Emmerich said. After that, Emmerich cited other efforts by the commission. They included a March 2021 meeting with a state Railroad Safety division engineer at the crossing site; an email sent to the Railroad Safety division on May 23 to address concerns about visibility at the crossing; and a May 31 call to BNSF Railway, which owns the track, “to express our concerns with the visibility issue” at the crossing. In January, the Missouri Department of Transportation submitted to the Federal Railroad Administration its “State Freight & Rail Plan” plan. It included a proposal to install lights and gates, along with roadway improvements. The project was estimated at $400,000. Typically, the government would pay 80% and the county 20%. MoDOT spokeswoman Linda Horn said the crossing near Mendon “is identiﬁed for funding for improvements.” Neither Horn nor a spokeswoman for Gov. Mike Parson immediately responded to emailed questions about why the county’s request wasn’t addressed sooner. BNSF spokeswoman Lena Kent said the company had not been made aware of the state’s proposed upgrade. She said the next step would be a site review. “We would work with all of the parties involved to determine if additional warning devices are needed and then work to get those designed, built and installed,” Kent said. Spencer told The Associated Press that he is among several people who have complained that the overgrowth of brush and the steep incline from the road to the tracks makes it hard to see oncoming trains from either direction. Spencer, who grows corn and soybeans on land surrounding the intersection, said the crossing is especially dangerous for those driving heavy, slow farm equipment. Spencer is on the board of a local levy district. He said the dump truck driver was hauling rock for a levy on a local creek, a project that had been ongoing for a couple of days. Earlier this month, Spencer posted a video on Facebook of the crossing that shows the steep gravel incline leading up to it. “We have to cross this with farm equipment to get to several of our ﬁelds,” Spencer wrote with the posting. “We have been on the RR for several years about ﬁxing the approach by building the road up, putting in signals, signal lights or just cutting the brush back.” Water ing $52,500 to ﬁnance a sewer system evaluation study.

The Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA), started in 1998, provides loans for improvements to community drinking water systems and nonproﬁt, noncommunity public water systems. Both programs offer below-market interest rate loans, which can save communities a substantial amount of money compared to a market-rate loan. Ohio EPA’s state revolving fund (SRF) loans are provided to communities to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, upgrade home sewage treatment systems, better manage storm water, address combined sewer overﬂows, and implement other water qualityrelated projects. Financial assistance helps support planning, design, and construction activities and enhances the technical, managerial, and ﬁnancial capacity of these systems. WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio’s highest quality water bodies through the fund’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program. Ohio’s SRF loan programs are partially supported by annual federal capitalization grants and have grown substantially over time because of the revolving nature of the loan issuance and payments back into the fund. The SRF programs are managed by Ohio EPA’s Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance, with assistance from the Ohio Water Development Authority. Ohio EPA is responsible for program development and implementation, individual project coordination, and environmental and other technical reviews/ approvals of projects seeking funds. The Ohio Water Development Authority provides ﬁnancial management of the SRF funds.
