Gridlock
could delay
COVID funds
By Alan Fram
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP)
— The U.S. is headed
for “a lot of unnecessary loss of life,” the
Biden administration
says, if Congress fails
to provide billions more
dollars to brace for the
pandemic’s next wave.
Yet the quest for that
money is in limbo, the
latest victim of electionyear gridlock that’s
stalled or killed a host
of Democratic priorities.
President Joe Biden’s
appeal for funds for
vaccines, testing and
treatments has hit opposition from Republicans,
who’ve fused the ﬁght
with the precarious
politics of immigration.
Congress is in recess,
and the next steps
are uncertain, despite
admonitions from
White House COVID-19
coordinator Dr. Ashish
Jha of damaging consequences from “every
day we wait.”
Administration ofﬁcials say they’re running
low on money to stock
up on, or even begin
to order, the latest vaccines, tests and treatments. Also lacking are
funds to reimburse doctors treating uninsured
patients and to help
poor countries control
the pandemic.
House and Senate
Democrats have been
wrangling over how to
resolve the stalemate
and even over which
chamber should vote
ﬁrst. It’s an open question whether they’ll
ever get the GOP votes
they’ll need to pull the
legislation through the
50-50 Senate, and prospects in the narrowly
divided House are
unclear as well.
“There is still an
urgency to pass a
COVID relief package,” Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer,
D-N.Y., said last week.
“It’s very, very much
needed.”
Optimists hope the
measure could start
rolling once Congress
returns next week.
Pessimists say without
quick resolution, Democrats may not have

enough leverage to push
the money to passage
until early fall. That’s
when they could stuff it
into legislation that will
probably be needed to
ﬁnance government —
a bill that would avert
a federal shutdown, a
pre-election distraction
Republicans will be desperate to avoid.
The heap of sidelined
Democratic initiatives
has grown this year, a
victim of GOP opposition and rebellions
by centrists like Sen.
Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
Casualties include bills
on voting rights, health
care, environment,
taxes, gun curbs, abortion rights, policing
tactics and an investigation of the 2021 Capitol
storming by then-President Donald Trump’s
supporters.
While lawmakers
have approved massive
packages ﬁnancing federal agencies through
September and helping
Ukraine counter Russia’s invasion, other priorities are dead or drifting, even as Democrats’
days running Congress
are likely dwindling.
Republicans are favored
to win House control
in November’s elections and could grab
the Senate as well, and
Democrats’ frustration
is clear.
“So far it hasn’t
moved,” Sen. Mazie
Hirono, D-Hawaii,
said of Biden’s latest
$22.5 billion request
for COVID-19, which
he initially sent Congress three months ago.
“But then neither has
sensible gun legislation, neither has voting
rights.”
“The 50-50 Senate
sucks,” she said.
The COVID money is
needed quickly, ofﬁcials
say. Their warnings
have come with over 1
million U.S. deaths from
the disease and a fresh
variant that daily is hospitalizing over 100,000
Americans and killing
more than 300. Both
numbers are rising.
Ofﬁcials say that lacking fresh funds, the U.S.
is falling behind other
countries that are

Pilkington gets first major league win
By Steve Herrick
Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Rookie Konnor
Pilkington struck out eight in ﬁve
innings for his ﬁrst major league
win and the Cleveland Guardians
beat the Kansas City Royals 4-0
Wednesday to complete a threegame sweep.
Pilkington, making his third
career start and sixth appearance,
worked out of a bases-loaded,
one-out jam in the fourth. The lefthander is taking the rotation spot
of injured Aaron Civale.
José Ramírez had a run-scoring

for Cleveland.

Browns star Garrett

about QB Watson

Kansas City has dropped 11 of
13 and has the worst record in the
majors at 16-33.
Brad Keller (1-6) allowed four
runs and six hits in six innings.
Pilkington (1-0) struck out his
ﬁrst four hitters. He stranded two
in the second and one in the third
before dodging major trouble in
the fourth.
The inning began when Salvador
Perez walked and MJ Melendez
singled. Pilkington struck out
Hunter Dozier, but Carlos Santana’s sharply hit single to right
loaded the bases.
Pitching coach Carl Willis visited Pilkington on the mound
to help him regroup. Emmanuel
Rivera struck out and Nicky Lopez
grounded out to end the inning.
Pilkington began the season in

Cleveland’s bullpen amid expanded
rosters. He started in a doubleheader and was sent to Triple-A
Columbus and was recalled when
Civale was injured on May 20.
The Royals, who have a day off
Thursday, completed a stretch of
26 games in 25 days.
UP NEXT
Royals: RHP Brady Singer (2-0,
2.49 ERA), coming off a win over
Minnesota in his last start, will
open a three-game home series
against Houston on Friday night.
Guardians: RHP Shane Bieber
(12-3, 3.19 ERA) will pitch the
opener of a three-game series in
Baltimore on Friday night. The
2020 AL Cy Young winner allowed
one run in eight innings Detroit in
his last start.

OHSAA TRACK AND FIELD PREVIEW

By Tom Withers
AP Sports Writer

BEREA, Ohio — Aware of the public’s perception, Myles Garrett has made up his own mind
about Deshaun Watson.
While Watson is being assailed by others for
alleged sexual misconduct, Garrett has been
impressed with how the embattled quarterback
has conducted himself since joining the Browns
despite facing serious legal consequences and possible NFL punishment.
“From what I’ve seen, he’s walked the right
way,” said Garrett, Cleveland’s All-Pro defensive
end and unquestioned team leader. “Whether he’s
had a slipup or not, I’m not the judge. I’m not the
jury or the executioner.”
Garrett’s comments came following practice
Wednesday, a day after a 23rd massage therapist
ﬁled a civil lawsuit accusing Watson of sexual
misconduct during appointments made while he
played for Houston.
The newest lawsuit is the ﬁrst ﬁled since the
Browns traded for Watson in March, when they
signed him to a record-setting $230 million fully
guaranteed contract.
The 26-year-old Watson has maintained that any
sexual activity with the women was consensual
— two separate grand juries in Texas declined to
indict him on 10 criminal complaints — and that
he intends to clear his name.
In his ﬁrst media availability since Watson
signed, Garrett said he doesn’t feel the need to pry
into the QB’s affairs just to learn more about him.
“It isn’t any of my business,” he said. “I try to
keep my nose out of it. I don’t try to put my eyes
on it. The only thing that matters to me is if he’s
playing every game and what we need to do to
step up as a defense if he isn’t.”
Garrett was pressed on whether Watson’s reputation matters, given the breadth of the allegations.
“It does,” Garrett said. “But I don’t know what
happened. You don’t know what happened. No one
in this room really knows what happened, other
than the people that were involved. I can’t move
one way or the other, based on hearsay.
“So, I just have to move with the character of
the man that I know from day to day, and it’s a
good guy from what I’ve seen, from what I’ve
played against and from what I’ve seen in the
building.”

Mourners say goodbye to Uvalde teacher and her husband
By Adriana Gomez Licon
and Jay Reeves
Associated Press

UVALDE, Texas —
Mourners gathered
Wednesday at a Catholic
church to say goodbye to
Robb Elementary School
teacher Irma Garcia —
who died in the shooting
at the Uvalde, Texas,
grade school — and her
husband, Joe — who died
two days later from a
heart attack.
Nineteen children and
two teachers — Garcia and her co-teacher,
44-year-old Eva Mireles
— were killed May 24
when an 18-year-old gunman burst into their classroom. The litany of visitations, funerals and burials
began Monday and will
continue into mid-June.
At Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Wednesday, twin black hearses
carrying the cofﬁns of
the Garcias arrived in a
procession led by police
and civilian motorcycle

San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller, right, looks on as
the caskets of Irma Garcia and husband Joe Garcia at Sacred Heart
Catholic Church for a joint funeral Wednesday in Uvalde, Texas.
Irma Garcia was killed in last week’s elementary school shooting;
Joe Garcia died two days later of a heart attack.

two closed caskets were
borne by pallbearers past
a phalanx of police in
uniforms and priests in
white robes.

Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller offered thanks
for Irma Garcia’s dedication. He listed the names

already lining up for supplies
needed for fall and winter. That’s
prompted Jha to plan for the
chance that Congress provides
no new money at all, threatening
painful choices about what to do
if there aren’t enough vaccines
or therapeutics for all who need
them.
“It would be terrible,” Jha told
reporters recently. “I think we
would see a lot of unnecessary
loss of life if that were to happen.”
Congress has provided $370
billion for purchasing supplies,
for research and other public
health initiatives to combat the
pandemic, according to administration tallies obtained by The
Associated Press. Around $14
billion of it was unspent or not
committed to contracts as of
April 5, the documents show,
serious money but an amount
the administration says falls
below the ultimate need.
Most Republicans are skeptical about added pandemic
funding. “I have a hard time
believing that there’s not enough

money and not enough ﬂexibility already” to use it, said Sen.
Kevin Cramer, R-N.D.
Counterintuitively but unsurprisingly for the always perplexing Senate, one intractable
puzzle stymying Democrats is
immigration.
Senate Republicans are
demanding a vote an amending
the pandemic legislation with
language retaining Trump-era
curbs that, citing COVID-19,
have made it easier to bar
migrants from entering the U.S.
A federal judge has blocked
Biden from ending those restrictions. Liberals want Congress
to eliminate the clampdown, but
moderate Democrats in both
chambers facing tough reelections want to vote to retain it.
The result: Testy divisions
between the Democrats’ two
ideological factions, and knotty
questions for party leaders about
how to resolve them and push a
pandemic package to passage.
Their task is compounded by
disputes between House and
Senate Democrats over why the
COVID-19 battle remains unresolved.
Senate Democrats note a
bipartisan $15.6 billion pandemic compromise was on the cusp

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas chapels of love that use
Elvis Presley’s likeness could ﬁnd themselves becoming
Heartbreak Hotels.
The licensing company that controls the name and
image of “The King” is ordering Sin City chapel operators
to stop using Elvis in themed ceremonies, the Las Vegas

Group sent cease-and-desist letters in early May to multiple chapels, which are expected to be compliant by now.

trict’s police chief, Pete
Arredondo. The director
of state police last week
said Arredondo made
the “wrong decision” not
to breach the classroom,
believing the gunman was
barricaded inside and
children weren’t at risk.
On Wednesday, Arredondo told CNN that
he’s talking regularly
with investigators from
the Texas Department of
Public Safety, contradicting claims from state law
enforcement that he’s
stopped cooperating.
Authorities have said
the gunman, Salvador
Ramos, legally purchased
two guns not long before
the school attack: an AR15-style riﬂe on May 17
and a second riﬂe on May
20. He had just turned 18,
permitting him to buy the
weapons under federal
law. Ramos was killed by
law enforcement.

of House passage in March until
that chamber’s progressive Democrats rebelled against spending
cuts to pay for it, derailing the
money. “We’re waiting for the
House to send us something,”
Schumer said last week.
House Democrats say even
if they do, the biggest hurdle
will still be the Senate, where
10 GOP votes will be required
to reach that chamber’s usual
60-vote threshold for passage.
They note that an April deal
between Schumer and Sen. Mitt
Romney, R-Utah, for $10 billion
in COVID-19 money collapsed
after Republicans demanded the
immigration vote.
“We want to get COVID-19
done, but the only impediment
right now is the United States
Senate,” House Majority Leader
Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters recently.
That’s left Republicans waiting
for Democrats’ next move.
“I would imagine at this point
way over half of our members
will vote against this, no matter
what. So the question is what
do you do to get it acceptable to
10 or 12” Republican senators,
said Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri,
a member of GOP leadership.
“And I don’t know.”

“Because you were
there with them,” he said.
“You did what you would
have done with your own
children. You took care
of them until your last
breath.”
Irma, 48, was ﬁnishing up her 23rd year as a
teacher at Robb Elementary. In a letter posted
on the school’s website

remember Amerie Jo
Garza, a smiling fourthgrader whose funeral
Mass was the ﬁrst since
the massacre. The funeral
for 10-year-old Maite
Rodriguez was Tuesday
night.
At Amerie’s funeral,
mourner Erika Santiago,
her husband and their
two children wore purple
shirts adorned with images of the victims. She
described Amerie as “a
nice little girl who smiled
a lot,” and who was “so
humble and charismatic
but full of life.”
Investigators continue
to seek answers about
how police responded to
the shooting, and the U.S.
Department of Justice is
reviewing law enforcement actions.
The blame for an excruciating delay in killing
the gunman — even as
parents outside begged
police to rush in and
panicked children called
911 from inside — was
placed on the school dis-

at the beginning of the
school year, Garcia told
her students that she and
Joe had four children — a
Marine, a college student,
a high school student and
a seventh grader.
Most of the readings
during Wednesday’s service and the homily were
in English, with GarcíaSiller offering some
words in Spanish.
“We are all hurting,”
he said. “In the midst of
so much, please, please
people need comfort,
people need you. … Let
us all foster a culture of
peace.”
Joe, 50, collapsed
and died after dropping
off ﬂowers at his wife’s
memorial. The couple
would have been married 25 years on June

story time, and a giveaway for kids.
According to Davis,
the event was jointly
planned by the Museum,
Bossard Library, and the
Gallipolis Chamber of
Commerce.
“It was a co-operative
effort between all three
groups,” Davis said.
“The library did a wonderful job promoting
the opening with train
related displays, story
times, and crafts before
the event. The Chamber
was extremely helpful
in the promotion, it was
so great to see everyone
joining together for this
opening.”
Davis said that while
the museum is open,
it will continue to be a
work in progress as more
trains and artifacts are
acquired and readied
for display, and as restoration on many of the
trains continues.
