Warren | AP Gas prices are shown Monday in Tumwater, Wash. Governors and state lawmakers across the U.S. are scrambling to provide relief from soaring prices at the gas pump. They are discussing ways to lower or suspended gas taxes, but taking that step has not proved easy, since much of that money goes toward repair of roads and bridges. Calls to suspend gas taxes across U.S. grow By David A. Lieb to AAA.

Critics of the proposals say there is no guarantee the savings would get passed on to consumers and worry that suspending gas taxes could hurt funding for road projects. Even so, the eye-popping prices at the pump are prompting lawmakers to act. “In the past several days, we have seen gas prices skyrocket to historic levels,” Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Jake Corman, a Republican running for governor, said in a memo seeking co-sponsors for the legislation. “We must do all that we can to address this now at the state government level and offer our support to hard-working families.” Pennsylvania’s 57.6-cent-a-gallon gas tax is the highest in the nation, just ahead of California’s. Corman said he is introducing legislation for a roughly one-third reduction through the rest of the year. The lost gas tax revenue would be offset by directing $500 million of federal COVID19 relief aid to state police and issuing $650 million in bonds to ensure infrastructure projects remain funded. Legislation pending in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate also would offset lost revenue from a gas tax suspension by transferring an equal See GAS | 10 Court weighs penalties for multiple open meeting violations Ohio House considers, reconsiders military absentee ballot measure By Andrew Welsh-Huggins By Susan Tebben Ames has the backing of Attorney General Associated Press Dave Yost, who argues that someone successfully proving that an illeCOLUMBUS, Ohio gal meeting happened, (AP) — The Ohio “is entitled to one $500 Supreme Court is weighing whether viola- award for every Open tions of the state’s open Meetings Act violation meetings law should be proved.” A lawyer for the punished by single or township says state law multiple $500 fines. requires only one $500 At issue before the fine per injunction, an court is a complaint by argument supported northeastern Ohio resident Brian Ames against by local government groups.

REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT/ GROUP PUBLISHER Lane Moon lmoon@aimmediamidwest.com EDITOR Beth Sergent, Ext. 2102 bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com SPORTS EDITOR Bryan Walters, Ext. 2101 bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com Ohio Valley Publishing ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Matt Rodgers, Ext. 2095 mrodgers@aimmediamidwest.com CIRCULATION MANAGER Derrick Morrison, Ext. 2097 dmorrison@aimmediamidwest.com SYRACUSE — James “Jimmy” Hyson Crow, 71, of Syracuse, passed away unexpectedly on March 8, 2022 in his home from natural causes. He was a caring friend, father, grandfather, brother and son and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Jimmy was born on February 16, 1951 to Robert Horton Crow and Kathryn Holmes Crow in Gallipolis. After graduating from Meigs High School in 1969, he attended and graduated from Ohio University in Athens, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in education. After college, he tried on many hats… from working in the coal mines at Meigs Mine #3 to being weeks away from becoming an Ohio State Highway Patrolman. He was always so proud that he would have graduated at the top of his patrolman class, but when they told him he’d be assigned to a northern part of the state, he knew it wasn’t meant to be because leaving home just wasn’t an option. He then landed his first teaching job as an elementary PE teacher for Meigs Local Schools and also became a football coach for Meigs Junior High School. He was loved by many, both students and teachers alike, and retired a little early after almost 30 years of service. Jimmy met Pam Neutzling when they were both still in junior high. They ended up marrying in 1972 where they went on to have three children, Meredith Lynn Crow, James Wesley Crow and Carrie Renee Crow. They have since divorced, but their children still relish the memory of their many happy Sunday afternoons at Grandma Katie’s house, eating dinner, napping on the couch and simply sharing their lives with those they loved. Jimmy was preceded in death by his father and mother, Bob and Katie Crow, and his brother, Robert William Crow. He is survived by his children, Meredith Crow (Glen MacLachlan), Wes Crow (Tia Marcel Moretti) and Carrie Crow as well as all his grandchildren, Audrey and Garrett MacLachlan, Vivianne and Cohen Doegen, Tatum and Jan Crow, and Hannah Spurlock. He will also leave behind his beloved niece and nephew, Lori Roush and Rob Crow, and their families, along with his sister-in-law, Ruetta Crow, nieces Kellie Triplett and Christi Lisle, and cousins Danny Crow, Donna Morris, and Debbie Gilkey and their families, as well as many other cousins near and far. Last, but certainly not least, he leaves behind his life-long friend and brother from another mother, Kenny (Angie) English. Jimmy was an avid hunter and fisherman his whole life and loved the adventures he and his friends would take together — no matter if it was somewhere out on a lake or deep in a forest. He loved those trips more than anything and would speak of them often to his children as he grew older. He was an incredible athlete in his youth, being so talented at baseball that he was asked to try out for the Cincinnati Red’s farm team. His other love, though, was most definitely his grandchildren. Stories and pictures of them brought such joy to his heart — they were the apple of his eye. The family requests that all flowers and notes are sent to Anderson McDaniel’s funeral home. If donations are preferred, please bequeath those to the Meigs Athletic Association in his name. There will be a viewing at Anderson McDaniel’s funeral home in Pomeroy, Monday, March 14 from 1-3 p.m. followed by a reception at the Syracuse Community Center from 4-6 p.m. GARY LEE MICHAEL Gary Lee Michael died Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at home doing what he loved … farming.

He graduated from Eastern Local School in 1965 and The Ohio State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture. Gary devoted his life to managing what God had blessed him and his family with, which was farming. The Michael Farm has been in the Michael family since 1920 and Gary truly enjoyed caring for God’s creation. Gary was a member of Mt. Hermon Church where he was a board member, sang in the choir and taught Sunday School. He was also a long time member of the Meigs County Farm Bureau, and was a Gideon. He was a devoted husband, great father/grand-father/ friend and wonderful Christian man. In 1970, Gary married Sharon Frecker and this union was blessed with three children, Matt, Kim, and Todd. Gary was preceded in death by his son, Todd Michael, his parents, Sam and Dorothy Michael, and brothersin-law Charles Ihle and Roger Leifheit. He is survived by his wife, Sharon Michael, children, Matthew (Patty) Michael, Kimberly (Jared) Spencer, grandchildren, Sarah and Katie Michael, Jacob, Leah, and Jenna Spencer, step grandchild, Chrissy, four step great-grandchildren, sisters Louise Michael and Lenora Leifheit, several nieces and nephews, and special friends Tom and Shirley Kurz. Visitation will be Sunday, March 13, 1-3 p.m. at Mt. Hermon Church, 36411 Wickham Road, Pomeroy, Ohio. Funeral services will follow at 3 p.m. at the church and will be conducted by Pastor Adam Will and Pastor Craig Holler. Burial will follow with a graveside service at Mt. Hermon Cemetery.

Jesus, who would have thought that You would compare Your love for us to that of a mother chicken, but it explains it so well. You love and protect us just like many mother animals protect their babies because we are all Your babies – Your children that You sacrificed Your very life to save. Thank You for loving us that much and being with us always. In Your name we pray, Amen. GALLIA, MEIGS CALENDAR OF EVENTS GU OHIO BRIEF You probably never thought of Jesus talking about chickens in the Bible, but in this week’s Scripture, He does just that. Some people came to Jesus and warned him that King Herod planned to kill Him and that He should leave and go somewhere else to be safe. Jesus was healing people and wanted to continue His work, so He stayed right there. Then Jesus said this in Luke 13:34, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets. You stone to death the people God has sent to you. How many times I wanted to help your people. I wanted to gather them together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you own. The mother did not let me.” hen also keeps I’m not sure how her chicks close much you know to her to protect about chickens – them from animals mother hens and that might want chicks especially.

Jesus sacri- ’S Jonathan McAnulty is minister of Chapel Hill Church of Christ. Viewpoints expressed in the article are the work of the author. Luke 13: 31-34 N Some five to ten years after the church was first established, God sent Peter to preach to the household of Cornelius. Cornelius was a Roman centurion, stationed in Caesarea, about 55 miles from Jerusalem. The conversion of his family to Christianity was the beginning of the Gospel being taken to the nations, for previously it had solely been preached to the descendants of Abraham: the Jews and the Samaritans. Search the As was his habit, Peter began his lesson by talking about Jesus, sayScriptures ing, “As for the word that he sent to Jonathan Israel, preaching good news of peace McAnulty through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. (Acts 10:36-38; ESV)” Though some years had passed, the reputation of Jesus was such that in discussing His person, very little introduction was needed. Peter could confidently assert, of individuals he had just met, that the events surrounding the ministry of Jesus were well known to all. Simply put, Jesus did so much good, that He established a firm reputation for well-doing, a reputation which spread throughout all of Judea (of which Caesarea was a city) and Galilee and even further abroad. Even while yet alive, the reputation of Jesus became such that He could not escape notice, even when He tried. There was, for instance, that occasion when desiring some solitude with His disciples, He journeyed north, out of Galilee, to the city of Tyre in Phoenicia. But He was still recognized and approached for help by the mother of an afflicted daughter (cf. Mark 7:24-25). In this, Jesus fulfilled His own command: “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16; ESV)” Followers of Jesus today do well to ask ourselves, how well are we letting our light shine? Are we following in the path of our Lord and Savior, establishing such a reputation for doing good that our name is synonymous with the same? Is the Lord’s church known for its love and compassion in the community? Are individual Christians known as exemplars of kindness, generosity, and a willingness to do whatever is possible to make the lives of others better? Jesus expected that His followers would be so focused, giving us a “new commandment,” that we love one another in the same way He had loved us, thus truly showing all the world that we are indeed His faithful disciples (cf. John 13:34-35). The love of Jesus was a love that was focused on the spiritual welfare of the recipient, but it was also a love which did not neglect doing good at any and every possibility. “By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. (John 3:16-18; ESV)” This is not to say that we should be doing good simply so others will notice (cf. Matthew 6:1). We should not be motivated by a desire for compliments, recognition, or awards. We are not to serve others as people-pleasers, but are instead to labor as if we were working for the Lord, desiring that reward which comes from the Lord (cf. Ephesians 6:6-8). Nonetheless, a love practiced in imitation of Christ is a love which will be noticed. It will be noticed by those in the home. It will be noticed by those neighbors whom you are helping. It will be noticed by the community. And, most importantly, it will be noticed by Christ, who is watching His servants to see how well they are following in His footsteps. So then, “let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith (Galatians 6:9-10; ESV).” Jesus and some chickens?

The RedStorm scored on a two-out, basesloaded error in the bottom of the seventh inning to post a 3-2 game one win over Cleary (Mich.) University, Tuesday afternoon, at VA Memorial Stadium. Rio Grande snapped a five-game losing streak with the win. Cleary bounced back to win the nightcap, 2-0, and earn a split. Rio Grande finished the day at 9-15 with the split, while the Cougars moved to 9-8 for the season. In game one, Rio Grande surrendered leads of 1-0 and 2-1 before posting its game-winning rally in the home half of the seventh. Junior AJ Thomas (Pickerington, OH) reached on a one-out single and was replaced by pinchrunner freshman Mattox Mead (New Albany, OH). Sophomore Jakob Johnson (Pickerington, OH) then walked and was replaced by sophomore pinch-runner John Arcaro (Trinity, FL) before junior Clayton Surrell (Carroll, OH) was intentionally walked to load the bases. Cleary reliever Colin Brazil, who came on for starter Garrett Larner at the start of the inning, then rebounded to strikeout sophomore pinchhitter Zach Price (Delaware, OH), but the game ended moments later when sophomore Darius Jordan’s (Minford, OH) routine grounder to second was booted for an error and Mead raced home with the game-winner. Thomas accounted for half of Rio’s six hits, going 3-for-4 with a double. Jordan and junior Gavin Lovesky (Willowbrook, IL) drove in one run each. Sophomore Lane Mettler (Bainbridge, OH), the last of three pitchers for the RedStorm, got the win after allowing two hits and a run with a walk and four strikeouts over 1-2/3 innings. Ryan Kadoguchi and Jeremy VanOosterum had one run batted in apiece for Cleary. In game two, the Cougars pushed across a pair of runs in the fifth inning and starting pitcher Travis Klocek did the rest.

By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The name “Donaldson” is synonymous with the sport of volleyball at the University of Rio Grande. But against Mount Vernon Nazarene on Tuesday night at the Newt Oliver Arena, it was a Donaldson who made life rough on the RedStorm. Caden Donaldson had a match-high 13 kills to go along with seven digs and a block assist to lead the visiting Cougars in a 3-1 (25-13, 23-25, 25-9, 25-23) victory over Rio Grande in non-conference men’s action. Mount Vernon Nazarene improved to 8-11 with the win and completed a season sweep of the RedStorm in the process. Rio Grande dropped to 1-18 with the loss. Donaldson, the son of Rio Athletic Hall of Famers Billina and Troy Donaldson, had a large contingent of community members from his Jackson County home in attendance to watch what proved to be a roller-coaster type of match.

The other is hoping to have the same kind of problem by week’s end. A total of five grapplers from the Ohio Valley Publishing area will be competing this weekend at the 2022 OHSAA Division III Wrestling Championships being held at the Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University. For a fourth consecutive postseason, River Valley will be sending multiple entrants to the state meet — as well as a program-best four qualifiers for a second straight year. South Gallia is also making its official debut at the state level as the program will be sending its first-ever competitor to the final week of the season. Between the quintet of qualifiers, only a pair are returning to the state tournament from a year ago — both Raiders. Senior Will Hash — a 2-time reigning district champion, the only two in RVHS history — will be making his third consecutive state appearance in the 190-pound weight class, while junior Justin Stump is making a second appearance at the highest level in the 157-pound category. The Silver and Black increase their total of state qualifiers from six to eight this weekend when senior Aiden Greene and junior Michael Conkle participate at the Schott. Conkle will compete at 165 pounds and Greene is entered in the 215pound division. Both Conkle and Greene join Hash, Stump, 3-time qualifier Nathan Cadle (201921), 2-time qualifiers Zach Davis (2003-04) and Andrew Huck (2020-21), and Eric Weber (2019) as the only River Valley grapplers to advance to the state tournament. Hash ultimately became the first Raider to win a match at the state level last year while eventually placing seventh at 182 pounds. Huck and Cadle each won a match as well during last year’s tournament at Marion Harding High School, while Stump dropped both of his state bouts at 138 pounds last winter. The Raiders ended up joining Benjamin Logan, Chalker and Elmwood in a 4-way tie for 45th place as each program produced 12 points at the 2021 tournament. Those dozen points are the only points ever scored by RVHS at the state meet, and therefore serve as the current school record. Hash enters the weekend with a 45-4 overall mark and Stump takes a 41-8 record into the 3-day event. Conkle is 39-7 this season and Greene owns a 41-8 mark headed into state competition as well. The Rebels — who are in their sixth year as a varsity program — will be represented at the state meet by junior Reece Butler. Butler — the program’s first-ever sectional champion (2021) — enters the tournament with a 39-11 mark at 126 pounds. None of the five local grapplers competing this weekend have ever won a match at the Schottenstein Center, an accomplishment last achieved within the area back in 2017 when Gallia Academy senior Kaleb Crisenbery placed eighth in Division II at 145 pounds. The Division III Championships will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with things scheduled to officially begin at 3 p.m. Friday. © 2022 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

The union’s executive board approved the agreement in a 26-12 vote Thursday, pending ratification by all players, a person familiar with the balloting said, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no announcement was authorized. MLB sent the players an offer Thursday and gave them until 3 p.m. to accept in order to play a full season. The union announced the player vote around 3:25 p.m. Owners planned to hold a ratification vote later in the day. The agreement will allow training camps to open this week in Florida and Arizona, more than three weeks after they were scheduled to on Feb. 16. Fans can start making plans to be at Fenway Gregory Bull | AP San Diego Padres left fielder Allen Cordoba jogs off the field during a 2017 game against the Colorado Rockies in San Diego. Players voted Thursday to accept MLB’s offer on new labor deal, paving way to end 99-day lockout and salvage 162-game season. Park, Dodger Stadium and Camden Yards next month. Opening day is being planned a little more than a week behind the original date on March 31. The deal will also set off a rapid-fire round of free agency. Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman and Kris Bryant are among 138 big leaguers still without a team, including some who might benefit from the adoption of a universal designated hitter. The sport’s new collective bargaining agreement will also expand the playoffs to 12 teams and introduce incentives to limit so-called “tanking.” The minimum salary will rise from $570,500 to about $700,000 and the luxury tax threshold will increase from $210 million to around $230 million this year, a slight loosening for the biggest spenders such as the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and Red Sox. A new bonus pool was established for players not yet eligible for arbitration, a way to boost salaries for young stars. Commissioner Rob Manfred had set a Tuesday deadline for a deal that would preserve a 162-game schedule along with full pay and service time required for players to reach free agency. Talks spilled past the deadline and Manfred announced more cancellations Wednesday, increasing the total to 184 of the From page 7 2,230 games. After yet another snag, this time over management’s desire for an international amateur draft, the deal came together Thursday afternoon and capped nearly a year of talks that saw pitchers Max Scherzer and Andrew Miller take prominent roles as union spokesmen. Players had fumed for years about the deal that expired Dec. 1, which saw payrolls decline for 4% in 2021 compared to the last full season, back to their 2015 level. The union had an ambitious negotiating stance in talks that began last spring, asking for freeagency rights to increase with an age-based backstop and for an expansion of salary arbitration to its level from 1974-86. In the late stages, the level and rates of the luxury tax, designed as a break on spending, became the key to a deal. Players think that too low a threshold and too high a rate acts tantamount to a salary cap, which the union fought off with a 7 1/2-month strike in 199495. minutes. “It’s been an emotional road. Did I get sleep last night? No.” Whether it was the sleeplessness, the suspension or something else, Howard wasn’t his usual fiery self on the sideline. And given the stakes — with Michigan and Indiana both trying to play their way into the 68-team NCAA Tournament field — Howard easily could have lost his cool as Indiana charged back in the second half, a highly partisan crowd providing the energy to come back. But if Howard was sweating this one, he never let it show. Instead, Howard just kept urging his team to slow down, settle down and run the offense as Phil Martelli, Howard’s temporary replacement to end the regular season, remained seated. “We came out with a lot of energy in the first half because we were AP Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS — Juwan Howard was on his best behavior in Michigan’s Big Ten Tournament opener. Sure, he worked the officials. Yes, he spent most of Thursday’s game barking out instructions to his players. He even hugged Indiana’s players and coaches in the handshake line. But after serving a five-game, league-imposed suspension for taking a swing at Wisconsin assistant coach Joe Krabbenhoft on Feb. 20, the Wolverines coach was much more muted as Michigan’s NCAA Tournament hopes may have slipped away with a 74-69 loss to the Hoosiers. “I’m human, I have feelings, I care,” Howard said after his team blew a 17-point lead in the final 13 TODAY had an RBI double and Derek Zavala added a run-scoring single in the From page 7 fifth for Cleary.

The Wolverines played their first game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in three years, their first with Howard in charge. Two years ago, Michigan was warming up on the same court when league officials announced the tournament had been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the games were played at Lucas Oil Stadium, and Howard caused a stir there when he was ejected for a midgame sideline spat with former Maryland coach Mark Turgeon. This time was different, even if Howard and the Wolverines didn’t agree with every call. EXTENDED FORECAST Colton Jeffries can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2100.

Experts look to past epidemics for clues By Mike Stobbe AP Medical Writer NEW YORK — Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the world has seen a dramatic improvement in infections, hospitalizations and death rates in recent weeks, signaling the crisis appears to be winding down. But how will it end? Past epidemics may provide clues. The ends of epidemics are not as thoroughly researched as their beginnings. But there are recurring themes that could offer lessons for the months ahead, said Erica Charters of the University of Oxford, who studies the issue. “One thing we have learned is it’s a long, drawn-out process” that includes different types of endings that may not all occur at the same time, she said. That includes a “medical end,” when disease recedes, the “political end,” when government prevention measures cease, and the “social end,” when people Gas From page 1 amount of general fund dollars to the accounts that fund state highway and public transit programs. The legislation is opposed by groups that advocate for road and bridge funding. They fear a tax suspension would set a poor precedent and become politically difficult to restore, if politicians are cast as supporting a tax hike when it kicks back in. The potential for lost infrastructure funding has been one of the biggest obstacles to those seeking to suspend or reduce gas taxes, but some state officials say they can afford the financial hit. Many states ended their 2021 fiscal years with record cash balances due to an influx of federal pandemic aid and a resurgent economy that yielded greater income and sales tax revenue than expected. Suspending Michigan’s when there’s less cases. Something that’s going to look a lot like seasonal flu or the common cold.” FLU Before COVID-19, influenza was considered the most deadly pandemic agent. A 1918-1919 flu pandemic killed 50 million people around the world, including 675,000 in the U.S., historians estimate. Another flu pandemic in 1957-1958 killed an estimated 116,000 Americans, and another in 1968 killed 100,000 more. A new flu in 2009 caused another pandemic, but one that turned out not to be particularly dangerous to the elderly — the group that tends to die the most from flu and its complications. Ultimately, fewer than 13,000 U.S. deaths were attributed to that pandemic. The World Health Organization in August 2010 declared the flu had moved into a post-pandemic period, with cases and outbreaks moving into customary seasonal patterns. In each case, the pandemics waned as time passed and the general population built immunity. They became the seasonal flu of subsequent years. That kind of pattern is probably what will happen with the coronavirus, too, experts say. “It becomes normal,” said Matthew Ferrari, director of Penn State’s Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics. “There’s a regular, undulating pattern when there’s a time of year when there’s more cases, a time of year demand pressures. “The real problem with this approach at both the federal and the state level is that there’s no way to ensure that the people will see this savings when they go to the gas pump to fill up their cars, their SUVs and trucks,” said Jim Tymon, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Last year, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp suspended state motor fuel taxes for several days to offset increasing prices after a computer hack led to the shutdown of a key pipeline that carries fuel to much of Georgia. Kemp on Tuesday said he again wants to suspend the state’s 29.1-centa-gallon gas tax because of rising prices, though details remain to be worked out in legislation introduced in the General Assembly. California Gov. Gavin Newsom also renewed a call to provide relief from rising gas prices during his State of the State address Tuesday, after a previous proposal gained little traction in the Democratic-led legislature. The average price for a gallon of gas in California reached $5.57 on Wednesday — the highest nationally, according to AAA. After Newsom’s speech, California Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon issued a joint statement saying they plan to pursue tax relief from the general fund instead of “a small cut to the gas tax that might not get passed on to consumers.” Virginia lawmakers also were negotiating this week whether to suspend a recent gastax hike for one year. The proposal was a key campaign pledge of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican elected last November. The Republican-controlled House included the temporary 5-cent gasoline tax cut in its budget proposal, but the Democrat-controlled Senate did not. Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida had proposed a five-month pause on the state’s gas tax this summer as part of a broader package of tax relief. Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois also had proposed to halt an automatic 2.2-cent increase in the state’s motor fuel tax as part of a broader tax-cut plan. Lawmakers in other states — including Maryland, Minnesota, New York and Ohio — also have proposed to suspend or roll back gas taxes. A day after Russia invaded Ukraine, Missouri state Rep. Andrew Schwadron, a Republican, filed legislation to suspend the state’s motor fuel taxes for six months, citing an emergency to protect consumers from rising prices. “The quickest way that we could provide that relief would be by temporarily suspending that gas tax,” he said. move on. The COVID-19 global pandemic has waxed and waned differently in different parts of the world. But in the United States, at least, there is reason to believe the end is near. About 65% of Americans are fully vaccinated, and about 29% are both vaccinated and boosted. Cases have been falling for nearly two months, with the U.S. daily average dropping about 40% in the last week alone. Hospitalizations also have plummeted, down nearly 30%. Mask mandates are vanishing — even federal health officials have stopped wearing them — and President Joe Biden has said it’s time for people to return to offices and many aspects of prepandemic life. But this pandemic has been full of surprises, lasting more than two years and causing nearly 1 million deaths in the U.S. and more than 6 million around the world. Its severity has been surprising, in part because many people drew the wrong lesson from a 2009-2010 flu pandemic that turned out to be nowhere as deadly as initially feared. “We got all worried but then nothing happened (in 2009), and I think that was what the expectation was” when COVID-19 first emerged, said Kristin Heitman, a Marylandbased researcher who collaborated with Charters. That said, some experts offered takeaways from past epidemics that may inform how the end of the COVID-19 pandemic may play out. 27.2-cent-a-gallon fuel tax from April through September would cost about $725 million. The bill passed the GOP-controlled House on Wednesday and now goes to the state Senate, also controlled by Republicans. The office of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, said it could hamper road repairs. “Michigan has billions of dollars in surplus revenue available,” House Speaker Jason Wentworth said in statement Wednesday. “The solution here isn’t complicated. Republicans are going to take action today and put a real plan on the governor’s desk to actually lower the cost at the pump.” Though average gas prices are at record levels, they are not yet the highest that Americans have paid when adjusted for inflation. The previous record high of $4.10 a gallon in July 2008 would be equal to about $5.24 in today’s dollars. Proposals to suspend gas taxes are based on an assumption that the savings would be passed on to consumers. “Money saved at the pump translates into dollars back in consumers’ pockets for groceries, childcare, rent, and more,” the six Democratic governors wrote in their letter Tuesday to Democratic and Republican congressional leaders. But transportation advocates say that because of other factors affecting gas prices, the full amount of tax cuts may not be reflected at the pump. On average, only about one-third of the value of previous gas tax cuts or tax increases were passed on to consumers, according to a 2020 report from the American Road & Transportation Builders Association that analyzed 113 state gas tax changes enacted over several years. That’s because retail gas prices are influenced by complex factors, including the price of crude oil and supply-and- Military From page 1 election for things like extra staff, overtime pay and vendor funding, according to Secretary of State Frank LaRose. Democrats tried multiple strategies to attempt to hold up the passage of the emergency measure and of the appropriations bill, calling for points of order and accusing the GOP majority of procedural violations. None were accepted by Speaker Bob Cupp, who said the House had suspended typical rules to speed up the process, such as a rule that appropriations have to go through the House Finance Committee before being approved. Most of the Democratic debate centered around their belief that the solution was not an extension of absentee ballot time for military members, but an extension of time for every voter, in the form of a new primary date. Multiple members of the minority party claimed moving the absentee ballot deadline from 45 days to 30 days before the May 3 election was shaving more than two weeks off the time allotted for absentee voters. State Rep. Paula Hicks-Hudson, D-Toledo, made a formal motion to move the primary from May 3 to June 28, which was quickly smothered by majority vote. Hicks-Hudson said it was wrong to pass the absentee ballot measure instead of changing the primary during a time when AP file Dr. Joseph Ballinger gives Marjorie Hill, a nurse at Montefiore Hospital in New York, the first Asian flu vaccine shot to be administered in New York on Aug. 16, 1957. As the coronavirus pandemic appears to be winding down in the United States, attention is turning to the ways pandemics of the past have ended. the Ohio Supreme Court is still deciding on the fate of the congressional and legislative district maps in the state. “The possibility of (holding an election) standing here today without having fair and accurate maps … is an almost impossibility,” Hicks-Hudson said. State Rep. Bill Seitz, R-Cincinnati, took the lead on dismissing claims that the maps submitted to the state’s highest court by the Ohio Redistricting Commission were not yet approved. “All this claptrap about your invalid maps are simply untrue,” Seitz said. Cupp told reporters after the vote that he agreed with Seitz, despite the fact that the supreme court has said in previous court filings on redistricting that they maintain jurisdiction over the validity of the district maps. “It’s a standard legal maxim that once a body with authority conducts its action, the action is valid until it is invalidated,” Cupp, a former state supreme court justice, said. “The redistricting commission has approved the map and it has not been invalidated.” Senate President Matt Huffman and Speaker Cupp have both said legislative support is not where it needs to be to change the primary date, but have not said what they’ll do if congressional or legislative maps are shot down again, with many of the primary election deadlines in the rear view mirror. Throughout the hours-long recess in the middle of the day, Cupp and LaRose said they both met with Democrats to see if a compromise could be met, but the state leaders said there was no interest. “It is beyond me why the other side seems to want to play politics and try to scuttle the May 3 election and do everything they can to prevent us from getting these ballots overseas,” Cupp said. Just as he’d done the day before when the Senate passed the measure, LaRose watched the chamber debate the issue. After the measure eventually passed, he said he was surprised to see how differently the move unfolded in the House compared to the relatively smooth process of the Senate. He saw the assignment as a simple one: give the Secretary of State’s office 10 extra days to get absentee ballots back from overseas Ohioans and active military members, and authorize expedited postage. “It’s remarkable that they went through all these machinations just now on the floor to try to keep me from doing that,” LaRose said. Because the bill had already been passed, the House moved to reconsider the bill, which was possible via a House rule that says a reconsideration can occur with enough support from representatives who supported the bill originally. As the House Dems looked to be putting up a fight early in Wednesday’s session, Democratic senators who had voted for the bill the day before encouraged them to hold back the absentee ballot measure. “I hope the House Dems hold their ground,” said state Sen. Teresa Fedor, who is also running for Lt. Governor, in a tweet. Ohio Redistricting Commission co-chair and state Sen. Vernon Sykes said he also supported “voting against the emergency clause to House Bill 188 and advocating for moving the primary in support of Ohioans’ fundamental right to vote.” While Democratic senators also brought up a change to the primary date and avoidable chaos of the state’s redistricting process, they also said the absentee ballot issue was one that needed to be addressed. The Senate must now take up the new version of Senate Bill 11 and decide whether or not to concur with the changes made by the House. The senate was not set to meet until next week, but LaRose mentioned the body may meet by the end of the week to take up the issue.

HIV In 1981, U.S. health officials reported a cluster of cases of cancerous lesions and pneumonia in previously healthy gay men in California and New York. More and more cases began to appear, and by the next year officials were calling the disease AIDS, for acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Researchers later determined it was caused by HIV — human immunodeficiency virus — which weakens a person’s immune system by destroying cells that fight disease and infection. For years, AIDS was considered a terrifying death sentence, and in 1994 it became the leading cause of death for Americans ages 25 to 44. But treatments that became available in the 1990s turned it into a manageable chronic condition for most Americans.
