COLUMBUS — Following the recommendation from the CDC’s

Immunization (ACIP)
last week that the use of
Johnson &amp; Johnson vaccine resume in the U.S.,
Governor Mike DeWine

“Our country’s vaccine safety system has

comprehensive analysis
by the independent medical professionals on the

recommendation that
the beneﬁts of Johnson

Ryan to seek

COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — Democratic
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, a
10-term representative
from Ohio’s blue-collar
Mahoning Valley, officially launched his bid
Monday for a coveted
open Senate seat in
Ohio.
Ryan, 47, becomes
the Democratic frontrunner as the party
goes after Republican
Rob Portman’s seat in
what stands to be one
of 2022’s most closely
watched Senate contests.
“I am running to fight
like hell in the U.S Senate to cut workers in on
the deal,” Ryan said in
a video announcing his
candidacy. “Ohioans
are working harder
than ever, they’re doing
everything right, and
they’re still falling
behind.
Former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel,
former Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane
Timken, and Cleveland
businesspeople Bernie
Moreno and Mike Gibbons are among Republicans who have already
entered the race. “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D.
Vance and several GOP
members of Congress
are also considering
running.

in its half of the fourth to close
to within 8-3. Both teams traded
a single run the rest of the way,
allowing River Valley to complete

Biden expanding summer food program
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Biden administration is
expanding a program to feed
as many as 34 million schoolchildren during the summer
months, using funds from the
coronavirus relief package
approved in March.
The Agriculture Department
is announcing Monday that it
will continue through the summer a payments program that
replaced school meals because
the pandemic left many children with virtual classes. Families of eligible children would
receive $6.82 per child for each
weekday. That adds up to $375
per child over the summer
months.

of the most recent coronavirus
relief package.
President Joe Biden plans to
extend the monthly payments
through 2025. The extension
would be part of a multitrilliondollar plan that he intends to
announce Wednesday in a joint
address to Congress.
Democratic lawmakers have
called for making the enhanced
tax credit permanent.
When the school year ends,
children have traditionally
shifted to other forms of food
aid. Yet administration ofﬁcials
said that summer feeding programs tend to reach less than
20% of the number served during the school year.

and consumer services at
Agriculture, said that Congress
previously approved limited
funding for pilot programs to
test the effectiveness of the
payments. But the coronavirus
relief package allowed it to be
rolled out nationwide.
Besides the food aid, the
relief package allowed parents to receive roughly $250
a month starting in July
for each child between the
ages of 6 and 17. Qualifying
families with a child under 6
would receive $300 monthly.
The payments are part of an
enhanced child tax credit that
would expire at the end of this
year, according to the terms

Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack called the summer
beneﬁts a “ﬁrst-of-its-kind,
game-changing intervention
to reduce child hunger in the
United States.”
The program reﬂects the
Biden administration’s attempts
to nearly stamp out child poverty — an unprecedented push
with money for parents, child
care centers and schools that
could revamp the social safety
net. Conservative critics have
warned that the spending, if
made permanent, could undermine the willingness of poorer
Americans to work.

here to grab a coffee and stroll
the market together, families
come out to get their weekly
produce, kids look forward to
activities that are just for them.
Everyone looks forward to Saturday morning, rain or shine.”
The market will be open for
the season May 1st through
Oct. 30, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on
the Pomeroy levee. All activities

with items to be picked
up in Syracuse from Goble
between 12-4 p.m. on Friday.
“Our auctions are always
a big hit thanks to the
amazing contributions
from our Chamber members, local business owners, and other members of
our community who generously donate items every
year! We expect this year
to be no different,” said
Director Shelly Combs in
an email earlier this spring
announcing the virtual

presented to a Meigs County student this spring.
“Each year at the Chamber of Commerce Spring
Dinner &amp; Auction the last
auction item presented
is a one-year dorm room
scholarship to Rio Grande.
This year however, the
scholarship is for room and
board,” stated the scholarship announcement.
“Rather than taking
individual bids, everyone
is invited to contribute
toward the scholarship for
one Meigs County resident
to receive a one-year dorm
room &amp; board voucher valued at $10,000,” stated the
donation announcement.

of the market to the community,
but also of the community to
the market.
“We have had incredible support from everyone, vendors,
artisans, business owners, and
everyone who comes to shop,”
Rife said. “We want this to be
a family friendly place to come,
an activity to look forward to on
Saturday mornings. This venue
provides something for everyone to enjoy.”
The market recognizes food
insecurity in the area, and is
providing several programs to
address this concern. At the
Donation Station, people may
buy produce or donate money to
purchase it. Market farmers also
generously donate to the station.
The produce goes to local food
pantries who would not otherwise have fresh produce to offer.

Perks. The market also accepts
WIC, senior vouchers, and
veterans vouchers. Shoppers
are advised to go to the market
booth for details and a chart

Rife said that everyone she
has spoken with is looking forward to Saturday’s opening.
