Wednesday, March 16, 2022 s 50¢ ‘Gold Rush’ returns Staff Report Biden to sign budget bill with Ukraine aid but no virus cash By Zeke Miller and Josh Boak Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday is set to sign a bill providing $13.6 billion in additional military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine as part of a $1.5 trillion government spending measure that omits COVID-19 aid the White House says is urgently needed. The COVID spending was a casualty of negotiations over the larger government bill. The White House had asked for $22.5 billion for vaccines and treatment, but that was trimmed during talks to $15.6 billion and ultimately dropped altogether as rank-andﬁle Democrats rebelled against proposed cuts in state aid to pay for the new spending. “We have made tremendous progress in our ﬁght against COVID-19 but our work isn’t done,” Biden tweeted Tuesday. “We need Congress to immediately provide $22.5 billion in emergency funding to sustain our nation’s COVID-19 response.” In a Tuesday call with governors, White House COVID-19 coordinator Jeff Zients highlighted “severe consequences” that the lack of additional funding would have on the nation’s response, including federal support for states, according to an See BUDGET | 10 AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Beth Sergent | OVP The West Virginia Gold Rush will return for its fifth year on March 29 and provide anglers and their families 12 days to catch golden rainbow trout and win prizes.

Mike DeWine signed into law Monday a measure that will make a concealed weapons permit optional for anyone legally allowed to carry a gun and eliminate the requirement that individuals “promptly” notify police ofﬁcers that they are carrying a concealed weapon. Ohio’s GOP-controlled Legislature passed the bill earlier this month and a DeWine spokesperson had signaled the governor would likely sign it. The measure, dubbed “Constitutional Carry” by its backers, is one of several GOP-backed proposals in recent years seeking to expand gun rights in Ohio. It was introduced by GOP state Sen. Terry Johnson of southern Ohio’s Scioto County, who said it eliminates a discrepancy in Ohio law that currently allows people to openly carry a gun. Gun owners can still apply for a concealed weapons permit under the legislation, allowing those who obtain it to carry a concealed weapon in states with reciprocity agreements recognizing such permits. In encounters with police, the bill requires only that individuals conﬁrm they are carrying a weapon if asked by an ofﬁcer. The Buckeye Firearms Association said 21 other states allow people to carry a concealed weapon without a license. Gun control groups such as Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America opposed it, as did law enforcement groups concerned about the legislation’s lack of required training.

The Warriors ran their record to 21-1 with the win. Rio Grande dropped to 1-21 with the loss. Indiana Tech led 14-5 to begin set one and 9-1 to start set two, but it was a 10-0 spurt midway through a tightly-contested third set that helped ﬁnish off the match victory. Mario Capo had a match-best 11 kills to pace the Warriors in the win, while Chandler Davis had 22 assists and Dante Siracusa tallied 10 digs. Tech also got four service aces from Ryan Griffel and a block and two block assists from Raekwon Rogers. The Warriors ﬁnished with a .258 attack percentage, recording 28 kills and 11 errors in 66 swings. Rio Grande had a .013 swing percentage with 21 kills and 20 errors in 77 attacks. Freshman Tyler Miller-Bross (Loveland, OH) led the RedStorm with nine kills, while freshman Seth Mohr (Canton, OH) was credited with 18 assists and freshman Sam Kaylor (Lewis Center, OH) had seven digs and two block assists. Freshman Sam Winhoven (Pickerington, OH) also had two block assists for Rio. The RedStorm returns to action on Friday in a Mid-South Conference pod hosted by Campbellsville University.

Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director for the University of Rio Grande. Big Ten lands 3 players on AP All-America first team By Dave Skretta AP Basketball Writer Keegan Murray has given Iowa a ﬁrst-team Associated Press AllAmerican for the third straight year, and Koﬁ Cockburn has made it two in a row for Illinois — not bad for a couple programs that haven’t had a whole lot of them. The Fighting Illini never had a ﬁrst-team pick until Ayo Dosunmu made it last season when Cockburn was voted to the second team. And the Hawkeyes had not had a ﬁrstteam selection since the 1952 season until Luka Garza, last year’s AP player of the year, made his second consecutive appearance in the ﬁveman team. Throw in Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis and the Big Ten was well represented Tuesda on the AP’s ﬁrst team, which also included Kentucky big man Oscar Tshiebwe — this year’s player of the year favorite — and Kansas guard Ochai Agbaji. “I’ve had to learn from a lot of guys last year just what it takes to be great at this level,” said Murray, a sophomore guard from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who is fourth nationally in scoring at 23.6 points per game heading into the NCAA Tournament. “I mean, it’s kind of like everything just got put together for me,” Murray added, “just all the hard work that we put in.” See BIG TEN | 7 Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports State qualifying members of the River Valley wrestling team pose for a picture atop the upper bowl of seats at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. Pictured, from left, are RVHS assistant coach Mark Allen II, Justin Stump, Will Hash, Michael Conkle, Aiden Greene and RVHS head coach Matthew Huck. Hash finishes career 6th in state in 190-pound class By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com COLUMBUS, Ohio — Historic … on a lot of different levels. The River Valley wrestling team added yet another chapter to its current 4-year run at states this past weekend during the 2022 OHSAA Division III Championships held at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University. The Raiders — who matched a program record with four individual qualiﬁers for a second straight postseason — again came away with a single podium placer, as well as at least one victory by all but one of the competitors en route to a second consecutive year with a ﬁnal placement in the team standings. The Silver and Black recorded a 5-9 overall mark in head-to-head matches and ultimately placed tied for 47th place with both Adena and Reading with 11 points apiece. Legacy Christian repeated as D-3 champs with 136 points, while Milan Edison was, again, the overall runner-up out of 83 scoring teams with 78 points. Last year’s Raider squad eventually placed in a 4-way tie for 45th overall with 12 points, all while recording a 5-8 mark … the ﬁrst ﬁve wins at the state level for RVHS. This year’s group added another ﬁve wins and one fewer point, as well as one more loss. That extra loss, however, ultimately happened as RVHS was setting a new mark for highest ﬁnish in program history. Senior Will Hash — who owns the program’s ﬁrst-ever state victory — dropped a 3-1 sudden victory decision to Mechanicsburg junior Zane Hitchcock in the 5th place match. Hash — who placed seventh with a 3-2 mark at 182 pounds last winter — completed his ﬁnal weekend in the Silver and Black with a 3-3 record at 190 pounds … good enough for sixth place overall. Hash — who ends his career with 176 victories — is the program’s only district champion, a feat accomplished twice in his junior and senior campaigns. River Valley senior Will Hash has his arm raised in victory following a 190pound match on Friday at the 2022 OHSAA Division III Championships held in Columbus, Ohio. Hash was also a 3-time TriValley Conference champion and didn’t have a chance at a fourth as the 2021 tournament was postponed. Hash is only one of two 3-time state qualiﬁers in school history, joining classmate Nathan Cadle (2019-21) in that feat. Hash completes his RVHS career with a 6-7 alltime record at the state tournament. With the 2021 Division III tournament being held at Marion Harding High School due to coronavirus protocols, Hash also became the ﬁrst grappler at River Valley to win a state match at the Schottenstein Center. Hash — who ends his senior campaign with a 48-7 mark — leaves as the winningest grappler in school history, and easily the most accomplished in a lot of historical categories. Yet, despite all of his personal accomplishments … which he does enjoy, Hash is more thankful for being part of the last four years of wrestling at River Valley High School. “It’s a lot like winning that ﬁrst match last year, but it’s really a lot more than last year. This is what I’ve been looking forward to my whole life, coming up here to the Schott and having success,” Hash said. “It’s still nervewracking competing here, and I’ve wrestled here before, but there is nothing that matches competing here at this place with the best of the best in the state. It’s a great way to ﬁnish my career as a Raider. “It’s been a really awesome run for us, these last four years. We’ve had some great teams and some great individual wrestlers, and we’ve made a lot of good memories and set the bar really high for those future programs. I know I’m leaving as the standard-bearer for the program, but I owe a lot of that to my coaches and my teammates. I’m also hoping that someone will come along and break my records some day at River Valley. It would be nice to see what we’ve started continue on at River Valley.” Fellow senior Aiden Greene — who made his state debut while going 1-2 overall at 215 pounds — agreed that ﬁnishing up his River Valley career at state was something worth cherishing. Greene ﬁnished his year with a 42-10 overall mark and scored a 5-3 decision over Middletown Madison senior Preston Brown in the consolation opener, allowing him to become one of only ﬁve RVHS grapplers to win a match at the state level. “It’s a great day, knowing that I’m going to ﬁnish my wrestling career here at the state tournament. I’ve worked really for four years for this moment, and it was worth every bit of everything that I’ve put in,” Greene said. “The thing that keeps circling through my mind is that I started this sport my eighth grade year. I knew nothing about this sports six years ago, but Coach Huck told my dad back then I could get to state in wrestling. To be here now, with Coach Huck ﬁve years later, it’s pretty gratifying. It’s also been an awesome journey with these guys over the last four years. It’s the perfect ending, if you ask me.” Greene is the only wrestler in River Valley history to win a tournament match in his ﬁrst year of qualifying for states. Greene also won a TVC title individually this winter. Justin Stump was more successful in his second consecutive appearance at state as the junior notched his ﬁrst career win at the state tournament in the 157-pound division. Stump recorded a 4-3 decision over Tinora junior Dalton Wolfrum in the consolation opener and ultimately ended the weekend with a 1-2 mark. Stump not only joined Zach Davis (2003-04) and current classmate Andrew Huck (2020-21) as 2-time state qualiﬁers in program history, but he also joined Hash, Cadle, Huck and Greene as the only RVHS grapplers to record a victory at the state tournament. And with a year to work on improving, Stump — who went 42-10 this season — is leaving the Schottenstein Center with even more motivation than what he perhaps came in with. “There was a much different atmosphere here than there was last year at Marion Harding, and it was noticeable.

But, as the venerable 23-year frontman noted, sometimes things have a way of working themselves out in the long run. After all, it might not technically be the best weekend in program history — but nobody has ever done it better at the Schott than this quartet. And that’s something to build on moving forward. “It’s a weekend that brings a lot of pride to our community here at River Valley. When we were heading out, the local ﬁre department and the sheriff’s department gave us a nice little escort out of the school for about ten miles. It’s pretty cool stuff for our kids to take in before we even get started on what we are going to do,” Huck said. “This weekend just allows us to keep elevating the bar for what we are doing as a program at River Valley. Two new qualiﬁers and two new winners at the state tournament, a new highest ﬁnish on the podium and our ﬁrst ﬁve wins at the Schott. Big Ten much every goal he set out to accomplish,” Jayhawks teammate Christian Braun said, “and it’s awesome to watch him every day, you know, work hard and practice hard and do all these things, and then accomplish everything he set out to accomplish.” Raiders Rick Scuteri | AP Arizona guard Dalen Terry (4) celebrates while cutting the net after a win against California on March 5 in Tucson, Ariz. Arizona won the Pac-12 Conference Championship. March Madness brackets get America talking By Eddie Pells AP National Writer Wagering on all those parlays and long shots on the betting app — fun. Filling out a bracket and waiting for the upsets to begin — that’s why they call this March Madness. Legal sports gambling across wide swaths of the United States might have made the next three weeks’ worth of NCAA Tournament games easier to bet on individually, but it didn’t change one simple truth: There’s nothing quite like the magic of picking winners of all 60-something games, ﬁguring out the Final Four and national champions, then pacing nervously through every buzzer beater, every agonizing upset, every bad call and every shot that should’ve gone in but didn’t. All have the potential to make a casual fan feel like an armchair genius. Any misstep can wreck the whole thing for even the most seasoned of hoops junkies. “It holds a special place because you never really have someone come up to you at the end of the NFL season and say ‘Who’s in your bracket for the wild-card game?’” said Dennis Deninger, the Syracuse professor whose latest version of the book “Live Sports Media” dropped this month. “But the NCAA Tournament, it’s just a totally different thing.” The American Gaming Association, the gambling industry’s national trade group, estimates 45 million Americans will wager some $3.1 billion on the tournament (a very conservative estimate), and around 36.5 million will bet something on a bracket or ofﬁce pool. The average bet per bracket will be somewhere around $30. And while, sure, those entry fees can net hundreds or sometimes thousands, they can also parlay themselves into something priceless — namely, the chance to show everyone in your ofﬁce, your poker group or your golf game that you, in fact, know college basketball better than anyone. Or cheer for better mascots. Or always knew that your love of a certain team’s color would pay off big one day. TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM the top-seeded Jayhawks open against one of the play-in teams.

Allergists say that pollen season in the U.S. used to start around St. Patrick’s Day and now often starts around Valentine’s Day. The new study found that allergy season would stretch even longer and the total amount of pollen would skyrocket. How long and how much depends on the particular pollen, the location and how much greenhouse gas emissions are put in the air. With moderate cuts in greenhouse gas emission from coal, oil and natural gas, pollen season would start 20 days earlier by the end of the century. In the most extreme and increasingly unlikely warming scenario, pollen season in much of America will start 40 days earlier than when it has generally started in recent decades. Already about 30% of the world and 40% of American children suffer pollen allergies, which hurt the economy through lost work days and medical costs, said University of Michigan climate researcher Yingxiao Zhang, lead author of the new study. Allergies are especially difﬁcult for the 25 million Americans with asthma. This could make the problem much worse for The University of Michigan team’s projections projects would be about twice as large a jump in pollen problems as has happened since 1990, said University of Utah biologist and climate scientist Bill Anderegg. “Overall, this is an incredibly important study,” said Anderegg, who wasn’t involved in the new research. “It tells us that the historical trends of longer and more severe pollen seasons are likely to continue, driven by climate change, and this will absolutely have substantial health consequences in allergies and asthma for Americans.” them, said Amir Sapkota, a University of Maryland environmental health professor, who wasn’t part of the research. While allergy suffering will increase across the United States, the Southeast will get hit hardest, said Steiner. The start of alder tree pollen season will move most dramatically, an issue in the Paciﬁc Northwest. Cypress tree pollen — which is especially bad in Texas — will see among the biggest increases. Ragweed and grasses — common pollen allergies — will also have longer seasons and higher pollen counts in the future, Zhang said. US funeral assistance for COVID tops $2B, more eligible By Zeke Miller Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal government has provided more than $2 billion to help cover funeral costs for more than 300,000 families of people who died from COVID-19, the Federal Emergency Management Agency announced Tuesday as it launches a new campaign to raise awareness about the aid to eligible families. More than 965,000 people have died in the U.S. from the virus. The COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program provides up to $9,000 per funeral and covers COVID-19 related deaths since Jan. 20, 2020. The average amount awarded per death is $6,500, according to FEMA. “FEMA’s COVID-19 Funeral Assistance program has helped provide over 300,000 people with critical ﬁnancial relief during a time of such unexpected, unimaginable and widespread loss,” said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell in a statement. On Tuesday, the agency is launching a new paid ad campaign in California, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas targeted at areas with large rates of COVID-19 deaths but lower rates of reimbursement requests to help connect people to available assistance. The agency is also reaching out to community groups and local media outlets to help publicize the program. “Our new outreach campaign is designed to reach families, especially across underserved communities, where the cost of a funeral can be a ﬁnancial burden to a loved one,” said Criswell. “Our goal is to help families apply for assistance, as well as submit all required documents for existing applications.” To be eligible for reimbursement, death certiﬁcates for those who died after May 16, 2020, must indicate that the death was attributed to COVID19. For deaths that occurred in the early months of the pandemic — from Jan. 20 to May 16, 2020 — death certiﬁcates must be accompanied with a signed statement from a medical examiner, coroner or the certifying ofﬁcial listed on the certiﬁcate indicating that COVID-19 was the cause or a contributing cause of death. Expenses covered under the FEMA program term. The initial bill provided $2 billion for the funeral assistance, which was exhausted in recent days. Funding going forward will come from Biden’s 2021 relief bill known as the “American Rescue Plan.” FEMA is not accepting online applications for the reimbursement program. People eligible are directed to call the agency’s helpline 844-6846333 where they will be prompted to submit the required documentation. include funeral services, cremation and interment, as well as the costs for caskets or urns, burial plots or cremation niches, markers or headstones, transportation or transfer of remains, clergy or ofﬁciant services, and the use of funeral home equipment or staff.

I’m really excited,” said Melissa Swanson, owner of The Rail Pub in Savannah’s bustling City Market entertainment district. N SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Fountains in city parks and squares are gushing water dyed emerald green and hotel rooms are ﬁlling up as restaurants and bars make sure they stock extra beer and hire extra staff to serve it. The St. Patrick’s Day parade that’s a 198-yearold tradition in Savannah will commence Thursday for the ﬁrst time since 2019. Parade organizers and business owners expect a huge turnout after the coronavirus pandemic forced the parade to be canceled during the past two years, putting a huge damper on what’s typically the most proﬁtable holiday in Georgia’s oldest city. “Every event we go to, the excitement is there and you kind of feel that buzz,” said John P. Fogarty, chairman of the private committee that organizes the parade. “We’re going to see a lot of smiles. We’re going to see people with their arms around each other saying, `Man, I haven’t seen you in two years!’” Started in 1824 by Irish immigrants to Savannah, the St. Patrick’s Day parade has ballooned into a sprawling celebration that’s one of the South’s largest street parties after Mardi Gras. Hundreds of thousands of gaudy green revelers typically pack the sidewalks and manicured squares of Savannah’s downtown historic district for the Irish holiday every March 17. Patrons start lining up for drinks at local bars as early as 7 a.m., and the party keeps going until after midnight. City hall pulled the plug on the 2020 parade as COVID-19 infections concerts on Savannah’s riverfront. The event has drawn some of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day crowds in the past. Mayor Van Johnson said the change was made mostly to curb public drunkenness and to boost TH Associated Press were just starting to spread in Georgia, and again denied the parade a permit last year as the pandemic persisted and vaccines weren’t yet available to all age groups. This year, the celebration will for the most part return to normal. A mask mandate for public buildings, one of Savannah’s last remaining restrictions, was allowed to expire March 1. Coronavirus infections are at their lowest point since November, and about half their rate a year ago. “There’s a lot of people out on the streets already, and all signs point in a good direction,” said Joe Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah, the city’s tourism bureau. He said hotels in down Savannah are ﬁlling up, and bookings are looking strong in the rest of the city and surrounding Chatham County. Many visitors are planning a long weekend, arriving Wednesday and leaving Sunday. And high gas prices don’t appear to be discouraging visitors from hitting the road, Marinelli said. “The reality of it is, there’s a lot of money sitting out there and people have not been able to do what they typically do,” Marinelli said. “And they want to travel again.” Ofﬁcials aren’t completely ignoring the virus, which has still averaged about 500 new daily infections in Chatham County for the past week. Organizers agreed to limit the number of parade ﬂoats, marching bands and other participating groups to 270, excluding dozens more to make the procession shorter than in past years. And city ofﬁcials withheld permits for a multi-day festival with beer tents and outdoor + Subject to credit approval.

Kasich among speakers on Medicaid RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina legislators weighing whether to expand Medicaid are getting advice from people who understand how it’s been done in Republican-leaning or closely divided states. Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich heads a lineup of out-of-state speakers for a General Assembly study committee meeting on Tuesday in Raleigh. Kasich helped get Medicaid expansion started in Ohio in 2014. The Medicaid director in Montana, a former Cabinet secretary for Indiana and a health insurance lobbyist in Montana were also scheduled to address the panel. The committee is collecting information on whether expansion and other health care access changes make sense in the nation’s ninth-largest state. North Carolina is among a dozen states that haven’t expanded Medicaid under the 2010 federal health care law. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is a big expansion booster, but Republican legislators have been cool to the idea. Expansion supporters are encouraged by recent openness from the GOP, particularly Senate leader Phil Berger. return of Gold Rush, the WVDNR is also giving anglers a chance to win prizes.

But the money for Ukraine to ﬁght Russia’s invasion became a bipartisan rallying point for the measure as Congress urged Biden to take more aggressive steps against Russian President Vladimir Putin. Roughly half the $13.6 billion would arm Ukraine and cover the Pentagon’s costs for sending U.S. troops to other Eastern European nations that might see the war spill past their borders. Much of the rest is for humanitarian and economic assistance, strengthening regional allies’ defenses and protecting their ener- gy supplies and cybersecurity needs. The $1.5 trillion government spending bill includes a nearly 7% increase for domestic initiatives, with beefedup spending for schools, housing, child care, renewable energy, biomedical research, law enforcement grants to communities and feeding programs.

Now, in a trend known as “reverse migration,” some of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those original migrants have been moving back to Southern cities for years. According to the 2020 census, African Americans make up 14% of the U.S. population, 58% of whom live in the South. Those ﬁgures could vary slightly, as the Census Bureau reported last week that 3.3% of the Black population was undercounted in the 2020 census, a rate higher than in 2010. Moving back to the region was important to the Mannings, who have relatives in Jackson, Mississippi. “We needed to return to the South to be closer to family and closer to a way of life that we were more familiar with,” Brandon Manning said. Fort Worth, Columbus, Jacksonville and Charlotte all saw explosive growth — from 15% to 24% — in their overall populations over the past decade. The Black population grew at about the same rate in three of the cities and exceeded it in Fort Worth. For this report, The Associated Press focused on individual cities rather than larger metropolitan areas to get a more nuanced sense of where Black population growth took place. Columbus is the only city included in the newest areas to which Black people are moving that is not in the South. David Jones recalled that when he visited his grandparents in Columbus in the 1970s and ‘80s, the restaurant scene consisted of “Ponderosa after Ponderosa.” Now, he said, it’s a “real” city with diverse eateries and a vibrant culture. Jones discovered the change when he moved there from Washington in March 2020 to pursue a romance and be closer to family. “It has that Midwestern relaxed nature. It’s more relaxed than D.C., where everything is a little more stressful, certainly more expensive,” he said. “The people here are just more genuine. They’re not always looking to get something from someone else. I think it’s refreshing.” Ohio State University, a large number of corporate headquarters, a diverse manufacturing base, a relative low cost of living and a burgeoning arts scene make the city attractive, said Columbus Councilmember Shayla Favor. “There are a lot of opportunities for individuals to move upward,” Favor said. The city’s politics reﬂect the inﬂux: A U.S. congresswoman and the city council president, police chief and schools superintendent are all African American. Columbus also has had an inﬂux of Somali immigrants, reﬂecting the fact that roughly 10% of Black people in the U.S. were born in another country. extremists,” saying the measure “will make all Ohioans less safe.” Last year, Ohio sheriffs issued 202,920 new or renewed conceal carry licenses, a 20% increase over 2020, the Ohio Attorney General’s Ofﬁce said. Sheriffs denied licenses to 2,668 applicants who didn’t meet state-mandated requirements and revoked 420 licenses for such things as felony convictions and mental incompetence.
