It might be Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on the other end. The Ohio Lottery planned to announce the next winners of the state’s Vax-a-Million vaccination incentive prizes at 7:29 p.m. Wednesday at the end of the lottery’s Cash Explosion TV show. Wednesday is also the day that the last statewide orders meant to slow the spread of the coroanvirus expire, including—for unvaccinated individuals—the statewide mask order and social distancing requirements—and limits on restaurant table seating. DeWine continues to urge people to get the COVID-19 vaccine and to wear masks if not vaccinated. The only virus-related restrictions that will remain in place after Wednesday are those involving nursing homes and assisted living facilities. But businesses and schools will still be able to require masks and social distancing, if they choose to do so. Abbigail Bugenske, last week’s winner of $1 million learned of her good fortune just minutes before her name was drawn when DeWine called as she was driving to her parents’ home in suburban Cleveland. The mom of Joseph Costello, the college scholarship winner, was leaving work when the governor called and had to sit down, she was so shocked. More than 3.2 million Ohioans entered their names for a shot at the $1 million, up from the 2.8 million who had registered for last week’s drawing. More than 133,000 children entered their names for ABOUT THOSE MASKS Wednesday is also the day that the last statewide orders meant to slow the spread of the coroanvirus expire, including— for unvaccinated individuals—the statewide mask order and social distancing requirements—and limits on restaurant table seating. DeWine continues to urge people to get the COVID-19 vaccine and to wear masks if not vaccinated. the scholarship, up from just over 104,000 last week. The names were actually drawn Monday using a random number generator, to leave time to confirm recipients’ eligibility. Vax-a-Million is open to permanent Ohio residents who have received either the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine or their first part of the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccination. After Wednesday night, three more $1 million and college scholarship winners will be announced each Wednesday for the next three weeks. DeWine, a Republican, announced the program May 12 to boost lagging vaccination rates. Participants must register to enter by phone or via the Vax-a-Million website. Teens can register themselves, but parents or legal guardians must verify their eligibility. The names of entrants who don’t win will be carried over week to week. The deadline for new registrations is just before midnight on Sunday. More than 5.3 million people in Ohio had at least started the vaccination process as of this week, or about 45% of the state. About 4.7 million people are done See WINNERS | 3 Lorna Hart | Courtesy photo Captain Chip Bennett was joined by his wife Gabby, daughters Evelyn and Karyn, and son Ira for Monday’s Memorial Day ceremony.

Ohio’s spring wild turkey hunting season ends County harvest numbers posted COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio’s 2021 spring wild turkey hunting season ended Sunday, May 30 with 14,541 birds taken, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Ohio’s spring wild turkey hunt- ing season concluded on Sunday, May 30 in the northeast zone, and Sunday, May 23 in the south zone. In 2020, hunters harvested 17,894 wild turkeys during the spring hunting season.

Gallia’s harvest number was 359. “Wild turkey populations appear to have declined in much of the eastern U.S., including Ohio,” said Division of Wildlife Chief Kendra Wecker. “The Division of Wildlife, in consultation with the Ohio Wildlife Council, other state wildlife agencies, and our non-government wildlife partners will be examining if further conservation measures are needed to stabilize and improve Ohio’s wild turkey population.” Youth hunters harvested 1,473 wild turkeys during Ohio’s youth season on April 17-18.

Ohio Valley Publishing Multiple incentives for ‘vaccine sprint’ By Zeke Miller Associated Press WASHINGTON — Dangling everything from sports tickets to a free beer, President Joe Biden is looking for that extra something — anything — that will get people to roll up their sleeves for COVID-19 shots when the promise of a life-saving vaccine by itself hasn’t been enough. Biden on Wednesday announced a “month of action” to urge more Americans to get vaccinated before the July 4 holiday, including an early summer sprint of incentives and a slew of new steps to ease barriers and make getting shots more appealing to those who haven’t received them. He is closing in on his goal of getting 70% of adults at least partially vaccinated by Independence Day — essential to his aim of returning the nation to something approaching a pre-pandemic sense of normalcy this summer. “The more people we get vaccinated, the more success we’re going to have in the fight against this virus,” Biden said from the White House. He predicted that with more vaccinations, America will soon experience “a summer of freedom, a summer of joy, a summer of get togethers and celebrations. An All-American summer.” Biden’s plan will continue to use public and private-sector partnerships, mirroring the “whole of government” effort he deployed to make vaccines more widely available after he took office. The president said he was “pulling out all the stops” to drive up the vaccination rate. Among those efforts is a promotional giveaway Jacquelyn Martin | AP George Ripley, 72, of Washington, holds up his free beer after receiving the J&J COVID-19 vaccine shot May 6 at The REACH at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Free beer is the latest White House-backed incentive for Americans to get vaccinated for COVID-19. President Joe Biden announced a “month of action” on Wednesday to get more shots into arms before the July 4 holiday. announced Wednesday by Anheuser-Busch, saying it will “buy Americans 21+ a round of beer” once Biden’s 70% goal is met. “Get a shot and have a beer,” Biden said, advertising the promotion even though he himself refrains from drinking alcohol. Additionally, the White House is partnering with early childhood centers such as KinderCare, Learning Care Group, Bright Horizons and more than 500 YMCAs to provide free childcare coverage for Americans looking for shots or needing assistance while recovering from side effects. The administration is also launching a new partnership to bring vaccine education and even doses to more than a thousand Black-owned barbershops and beauty salons, building on a successful pilot program in Maryland. They’re the latest vaccine sweeteners, building on other incentives like cash giveaways, sports tickets and paid leave, to keep up the pace of vaccinations. “The fact remains that despite all the progress, those who are unvaccinated still remain at risk of getting seriously ill or dying or spreading the disease to others,” said Rowe. Aiming to make injections even more convenient, Biden is announcing that many pharmacies are extending their hours this month — and thousands will remain open overnight on Fridays. The White House is also stepping up its efforts to help employers run on-site vaccination clinics. Biden will also announce that he is assigning Vice President Kamala Harris to lead a “We Can Do This” vaccination tour to encourage shots. It will include first lady Jill Biden, second gentleman Doug Emhoff and Cabinet officials. Harris’ travel will be focused on the South, where vaccination rates are among the lowest in the country, while other officials will travel to areas of the Midwest with below average rates. To date 62.9% of the adult U.S. population have received at least one dose of a COVID19 vaccine and 133.9 million are fully vaccinated. The rate of new vaccinations has slowed to an average below 555,000 per day, down from more than 800,000 when incentives like lot- teries were announced, and down from a peak of nearly 2 million per day in early April when demand for shots was much higher. The lengths to which the U.S. is resorting to convince Americans to take a shot stands in contrast to much of the world, where vaccines are far less plentiful. Facing a mounting U.S. surplus, the Biden administration is planning to begin sharing 80 million doses with the world this month. “All over the world people are desperate to get a shot that every American can get at their neighborhood drugstore,” Biden said. Thanks to the vaccinations, the rate of cases and deaths in the U.S. are at their lowest since the beginning of the pandemic last March, averaging under 16,000 new cases and under 400 deaths per day. Other new incentives include a $2 million commitment from DoorDash to provide gift cards to community health centers to be used to drive people to get vaccinated. CVS launched a sweepstakes with prizes including free cruises and Super Bowl tickets. Major League Baseball will host on-site vaccine clinics and ticket giveaways at games. And Kroger will give $1 million to a vaccinated person each week this month and dozens of people free groceries for the year. The fine print on the Anheuser-Busch promotion reveals the benefits to the sponsoring company, which will collect consumer data and photos through its website to register for the $5 giveaway. The company says it will hand out credits to however many people qualify. OHIO BRIEFS 1st Black woman set to serve as Columbus police chief W. Va coal miner dies in underground accident By Andrew WelshHuggins and Farnoush Amiri CHARLESTON, W.Va.

Netanyahu opponents reach coalition deal to oust Israeli PM By Josef Federman Associated Press JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s opponents announced they have reached a deal to form a new governing coalition, paving the way for the ouster of the longtime Israeli leader. The dramatic announcement by oppo- sition leader Yair Lapid and his main coalition partner, Naftali Bennett, came moments before a midnight deadline and prevented the country from plunging into what would have been its fifth consecutive election in just over two years. In a statement on Twitter, Lapid said he had informed the country’s president of the deal. “This government will work for all the citizens of Israel, those that voted for it and those that didn’t. It will do everything to unite Israeli society,” he said. Under the agreement, Lapid and Bennett will split the job of prime minister in a rotation. Bennett will serve the first two years, while Lapid is to serve the final two years. The historic deal also includes a small Islamist party, the United Arab List, which would make it the first Arab party ever to be part of a governing coalition. The agreement still needs to be approved by the Knesset, or parliament, in a vote that is expected to take place early next week. �NEWS Ohio Valley Publishing GALLIA MEIGS BRIEFS Editor’s Note: Gallia Meigs Briefs will only list event information that is open to the public and will be printed on a space-available basis.

COLUMBUS — Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers filed felony drug charges against two Michigan women after a stop in Pickaway County reportedly uncovered various drugs, including “a dangerous mixture of heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanil often referred to as ‘grey death,’” according to a news release from OSHP.

Turkey Ohio Valley Publishing Charges roil far-right groups By Michael Kunzelman and Alanna Durkin Richer Associated Press Former President Donald Trump’s lies about a stolen 2020 election united rightwing supporters, conspiracy theorists and militants on Jan. 6, but the aftermath of the insurrection is roiling two of the most prominent far-right extremist groups at the U.S. Capitol that day. More than three dozen members and associates across both the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers have been charged with crimes. Some local chapters cut ties with national leadership in the weeks after the deadly siege. The Proud Boys’ chairman called for a pause in the rallies that often have led to clashes with anti-fascist activists. And one Oath Keeper has agreed to cooperate against others charged in the riot. Some extremism experts see parallels between the fallout from the Capitol riot and the schisms that divided far-right figures and groups after their violent clashes with counterprotesters at the “Unite the Right” white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. The white supremacist “alt-right” movement fractured and ultimately faded from public view after the violence erupted that weekend. “I think something kind of like that is happening right now in the broader farright movement, where the cohesive tissue that brought them all together — being the 2020 election — it’s kind of dissolved,” said Jared Holt, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. But others believe President Joe Biden’s victory and the Jan. 6 investigation, the largest federal prosecution in history, might animate the militia movement — fueled by an anti-government anger. “We’re already seeing a lot of this rhetoric being Noah Berger | AP file Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio attends a rally Aug. 17, 2019, in Portland, Ore. Outside pressures and internal strife are roiling two far-right extremist groups after members were charged in the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Former President Donald Trump’s lies about a stolen 2020 election united an array of right-wing supporters, conspiracy theorists and militants on Jan. 6. spewed in an effort to pull in people,” said Freddy Cruz, a Southern Poverty Law Center research analyst who studies anti-government groups. “It’s very possible that people will become energized and try to coordinate more activity given that we have a Democratic president in office.” The mob marched to the Capitol and broke through police barricades and overwhelmed officers, violently shoving its way into the building to chants of “Hang Mike Pence” and “Stop the Steal.” Some rioters came prepared with pepper spray, baseball bats and other weapons. Members of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers make up just a fraction of the more than 400 people charged so far. Prosecutors have narrowed in on the two extremist groups as they try to determine how much planning went into the attack, but authorities have said they’re intent on arresting anyone involved. The Proud Boys, a selfdescribed “Western chauvinist” group, emerged from far-right fringes during the Trump administration to mainstream GOP circles, with allies like longtime Trump backer Roger Stone. The group claims it has more than 30,000 members nationwide. Chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio hasn’t been charged in the riot. He wasn’t there on Jan. 6. He’d been arrested in an unrelated vandalism case as he arrived in Washington two days before the insurrection and was ordered out of the area by a judge. Law enforcement later said Tarrio was picked up in part to help quell potential violence. Tarrio insists the criminal charges haven’t weakened or divided the group. He says he has met with leaders of chapters that declared their independence and patched up their differences. “We’ve been through the wringer,” Tarrio said in an interview. “Any other group after January 6th would fall apart.” But leaders of several local Proud Boys chapters, including in Seattle, Las Vegas, Indiana and Alabama, said after Jan. 6 that their members were cutting ties with the organization’s national leadership. Four group leaders, including national Elders Council member Ethan Nordean, have been charged by federal officials with planning and leading an attack on the Capitol building. One of Nordean’s attorneys said he wasn’t responsible for any crimes committed by other people. The Las Vegas chapter’s statement on the Telegram instant messaging platform in February didn’t mention Jan. 6 directly, but it claimed the “overall direction of the organization” was endangering its members. Meanwhile, 16 members and associates of the Oath Keepers — a militia group founded in 2009 that recruits current and former military, police and first responders — have been charged with conspiring to block the certification of the vote. The group’s founder and leader, Stewart Rhodes, has said the Oath Keepers had as many as 40,000 members at its peak, but one extremism expert estimates the group’s membership stands around 3,000 nationally. Florida deputies shoot girl, 14, who opened fire DELTONA, Fla. (AP) — Deputies in central Florida shot and wounded a 14-year-old girl after they say she and a 12-year-old boy opened fire with a shotgun and AK-47 from a house they broke into after fleeing a juvenile home. The girl was in stable condition after surgery, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release early Wednesday, and charges were pending against both juveniles in the Tuesday evening violence near Deltona. The deputies were put on administrative leave pending a review, officials said. A visibly angry Sheriff Mike Chitwood said at a news conference late Tuesday that the juveniles had shot at officers from the house multiple times over about a half-hour while deputies tried to de-escalate the situation and, eventually, returned fire. He said this was “something I’ve never seen in 35 years in policing.” “This is like Bonnie and Geauga, Lake, and Trumbull counties, while the south zone covers the rest of the From page 1 state. In the south zone, 13,510 turkeys were haryouth season results are included in the final vested, with 941 turkeys checked in the northeast tally. Ohio has two zones for zone. Adult male turkeys spring wild turkey hunt(gobblers) made up 82% ing: the south zone and the northeast zone. The of the total 2021 harvest northeast zone includes with 11,976 turkeys taken. Hunters checked Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Clyde at 12 years old and 14 years of age,” Chitwood said. The juvenile home in Deltona reported the pair missing on Tuesday evening, telling authorities the boy is diabetic and needed insulin every four hours. They said the girl hit a staff member with a stick before running away, a sheriff’s news release said. As deputies were searching the area around 7:30 p.m., a passerby flagged them down and reported hearing glass breaking at a nearby house. Deputies saw the pair inside the home and contacted its owner, who said no one was supposed to be at the home, while advising authorities that there was a shotgun, an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition inside. Deputies surrounded the house and began talking to the pair. The girl threatened to kill a sheriff’s sergeant and fired at him multiple times about 8:30 p.m., the 2,397 juvenile male turkeys (jakes) represented 16% of the harvest, and 173 bearded female turkeys (hens) were checked. The Division of Wildlife sold and distributed 61,135 wild turkey permits during the spring hunting season. The 2021 spring turkey season limit was two bearded wild turkeys. Hunters could harvest sheriff said. Authorities said the children fired at the deputies four separate times over the next 35 minutes. At one point, Chitwood said, an officer went close enough to the home to toss a cellphone inside to try to talk to them. “They were traversing the length of that house and opening fire on deputies from different angles,” Chitwood said. “They were out on the pool deck, they shot from the bedroom window, they shot from the garage door.” The girl eventually came out of the garage with the shotgun and pointed it at deputies. They repeatedly asked her to drop the weapon, Chitwood said. She walked back into the garage. “She comes back a second time and that’s when deputies open fire and she takes multiple rounds,” Chitwood said. As the deputies provided medical aid to the girl, the boy, who was armed with the AK-47, surren- one bearded turkey per day using a shotgun or archery equipment. All hunters were required to check in their harvest using the game-check system. The Division of Wildlife began an extensive program in the 1950s to reintroduce wild turkeys to the Buckeye State. Ohio’s first modern day wild turkey season dered, the release said. “Deputies did everything they could tonight to deescalate, and they almost lost their lives to a 12-yearold and a 14-year-old,” the sheriff said. “If it wasn’t for their training and their supervision … somebody would have ended up dead.” Chitwood said the preliminary information shows the deputies took “multiple, multiple rounds – until they were left with no other choice but to return fire.” The sheriff’s office released the names of the juveniles, but The Associated Press is not using the names because of their age. At a news conference Wednesday morning in New Smyrna Beach, in the same county as the shooting, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he had been briefed on what happened. “I think one of the kids said, ‘Oh, I didn’t want to kill the police officer. I just wanted to shoot at him.’ That’s despicable,” DeSantis said. opened in 1966 in nine counties, and hunters checked 12 birds. The total number of harvested turkeys topped 1,000 for the first time in 1984. Turkey hunting was opened statewide in 2000. The record Ohio wild turkey harvest was in 2001, when hunters checked 26,156 birds.

Point Pleasant jumped out to a 7-0 lead and wrapped things up in six innings on Tuesday afternoon with a 12-4 victory over fifth seeded Poca in the opening round of the Class AA Region IV, Section 1 softball tournament. The fourth seeded Lady Knights (15-10) had to adjust their first pitch schedule to 1 p.m. Tuesday to accommodate Poca’s graduation ceremony later that evening, and the hosts followed by building leads of 4-0, 6-0 and 7-0 after each of the first three frames en route to the wire-to-wire win. The Lady Dots countered with four runs in the top of the fourth to make things interesting at 7-4, but PPHS responded with five unanswered runs the rest of the way to complete the 8-run mercy rule outcome in six innings. Point Pleasant advances to face top seeded Winfield on Wednesday in the winner’s bracket semifinal. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. Four different Point Pleasant players knocked in a run in the first inning, which included a Havin Roush single that plated Hayley Keefer with what proved to be the eventual game-winner. Kylie Price added a 2-RBI double in the second for a 6-run edge, then Haley Bryant walked and later scored on an error in the third for a 7-0 advantage. A wild pitch and an RBI single by Kamryn Starcher allowed PHS to close to within 7-2, then Kami Williams added a 2-RBI single to make it a 3-run contest midway through four complete.

Russo Associated Press Former Southern California star Reggie Bush, who had his Heisman Trophy victory in 2005 vacated for committing NCAA violations, is among the players making their first appearance on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot this year. The National Football Foundation announced on Wednesday the players and coaches eligible for election into the Hall of Fame, and 26 of the 78 FBS players will be debuting on the ballot. Hall of Fame ballots go to more than 12,000 NFF members and current Hall of Famers. The votes are considered by the NFF’s Honors Courts, which then deliberates and selects a class of about a dozen players and two or three coaches. College Football Hall of Famer and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin from Ohio State is the chairman of the Honors Court, which includes athletic administrators, Hall of Famers and members of the media from all over the country. Other first-timers on the ballot included quarterbacks Andrew Luck of Stanford and Kellen Moore of Boise State, Penn State star linebackers LaVar Arrington and Paul Posluszny and former California running back Marshawn Lynch. Other first-timers on the ballot included quarterbacks Andrew Luck of Stanford and Kellen Moore of Boise State, Penn State star linebackers LaVar Arrington and Paul Posluszny and former California running back Marshawn Lynch. Bush’s Hall of Fame case is most intriguing. Based solely on his play, he would be a slam dunk. Bush helped USC win two national championships and won the Heisman Trophy as a junior in 2005. Bush averaged 7.3 yards per carry in his career at USC, including 8.7 yards during his Heisman-winning season. But his Heisman was later vacated after USC was hit with NCAA sanctions after it was found Bush and his family received money and gifts during his time with the Trojans from fledgling marketing agents who were hoping to represent the rising football star. The Heisman Trophy Trust asked Bush to return his trophy in 2010 and stripped him from its record books because he had compromised his NCAA eligibility while playing for USC. The NCAA imposed a 10-year ban on Bush associating publicly with USC. That ended last year. USC joyously welcomed Bush back into the Trojans community and started making plans to honor him. When the NCAA-imposed disassociation ended, it allowed USC to nominate Bush as a Hall of Fame candidate. “That was good enough for us,” said Steve Hatchell, president and CEO of the National Football Foundation. Bush otherwise could have been eligible for the hall and appeared on the ballot as early as 2017, a year after his 11-year NFL career ended. The College Hall of Fame has shied away — at times — from honoring players and coaches who have been attached to NCAA or other off-the-field scandals. But there are no clear-cut guidelines. Last year, Eric Dickerson, who played at SMU in the early 1980s, was finally elected to the College Football Hall of Fame. Dickerson played during the era in which cheating was rampant at SMU and the program eventually was given the so-called death penalty by the NCAA for paying players. Dickerson himself was never proved to have broken any NCAA rules. Bush might not have to wait as long as Dickerson to make the hall, but he is unlikely to make it on the first ballot. The NFF tends to steer away from having a school represented in consecutive classes, and former USC quarterback and 2002 Heisman winner Carson Palmer made it last year.
