COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Nearly 2.8 million residents have registered for Ohio’s Vax-a-Million vaccination incentive program, with participants hoping to win either the $1 million prize for adults or a fullride college scholarship for children, Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday. He said vaccinations have surged across the state since the lottery program was launched. Vaccinations among 16- and 17-year-olds jumped 94%; the 20-49 age group was up 55% and 18-19-yearolds were up 46%, the Republican governor said. “We’ve seen increases really across all demographic groups,” DeWine said. “That’s a very, very good thing.” Topping county growth was Athens County, home of Ohio University, with a 144% jump in vaccinations, followed closely by Harrison, Morgan and Seneca counties. DeWine said 2,758,470 Ohioans had registered by phone or a website for the drawing by midnight Sunday. Participants’ registrations make them eligible for the next four drawings. The winners will be announced Wednesday night at the end of the Ohio Lottery’s Cash Explosion TV show, and then each Wednesday for the next four weeks. The agency planned to use a random number generator to pick the winners ahead of time. The state must verify eligibility before confirming winners. 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. Both adults hoping for the $1 million prize and teenagers looking for the college scholarships can register themselves, but parents or legal guardians must verify their eligibility. Participants must register to enter by phone or via the Vax-a-Million website, with names carried over week to week. DeWine announced the lottery May 12 as means of drumming up enthusiasm for COVID-19 vaccinations as the number of people receiving doses plummeted. “I know that some may say, ‘DeWine, you’re crazy!

Watershed Camp RUTLAND — The Meigs SWCD and Leading Creek Watershed Group will hold the Leading Creek Watershed Day Camp on June 9th at the Meigs Road closures, construction Southwestern alumni banquet TODAY IN HISTORY Associated Press IN BRIEF Biden doubling spending to prepare for hurricanes, storms WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden announced Monday that he’s doubling U.S. emergency spending to help communities prepare for hurricanes and other extreme weather events, while launching a new effort at NASA to better understand and track the impact of climate change. The $1 billion in spending is a small fraction of what the U.S. spends on weather-related disasters. Last year alone, the nation endured 22 weather and climate-related disasters with losses greater than $1 billion each. The disasters, including wildfires, hurricanes and snowstorms, had a cumulative price tag of nearly $100 billion. 2021 has already had significant winter storms that caused a deadly blackout in Texas and other states and underscore the damage caused by climate change. “We all know that the storms are coming, and we’re going to be prepared,” Biden said during a visit to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Washington headquarters. “We have to be ready.” Key impeachment witness sues Pompeo over legal fees WASHINGTON (AP) — Gordon Sondland, the Trump administration’s ambassador to the European Union and a pivotal witness in 2019 impeachment proceedings, sued former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday in an effort to recoup $1.8 million he racked up in legal expenses. Sondland alleges in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, that Pompeo had committed to reimburse his legal expenses after he was subpoenaed by House Democrats to testify in an impeachment case that accused then-President Donald Trump of withholding military aid from Ukraine while demanding an investigation into political rival Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Instead, Sondland says, Pompeo “reneged on his promise” after learning the details of Sondland’s testimony. In 1959, the U.S. Supreme Court, in State Athletic Commission v.

White House ‘eager’ for GOP counteroffer By Lisa Mascaro and Darlene Superville Associated Press WASHINGTON — The White House said Monday that President Joe Biden is awaiting an infrastructure counteroffer from Senate Republicans after a core group of GOP negotiators rejected his latest $1.7 trillion proposal, leaving the fragile talks on a compromise at a standstill before a Memorial Day deadline. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the president is “eager to engage” and would welcome more talks with the senators. But she said the Republicans have “a ways more to go” to find common ground. Biden dropped $500 billion from his initial $2.3 trillion offer, and Psaki said the Republicans raised their $568 billion offer by about $50 billion. Republicans have rejected Biden’s plan to pay for the road and broadband spending with a corporate tax increase. “The ball is in the Republicans’ court,” Psaki said at the White House briefing. On Monday, the president will be hosting Alaska’s Republican congressional delegation to the White House for a bill signing ceremony on an unrelated cruise ship tourism measure. That’s meant as a signal of potential areas of bipartisan- ship. The invited lawmakers could be key players in any infrastructure deal. With a deadline a week away, the White House and Senate Republicans remain far apart after nearly two weeks of closed-door talks between Biden’s team and senators. The lack of progress on Biden’s effort to strike a bipartisan agreement has Democrats considering whether they should leave Republicans behind and try to pass his top priority on their own. Psaki insisted no decisions had been made and expected more talks this week. Asked if Biden might move ahead with his infrastructure plans without Republican support, she said, “We’re not quite there yet.” Democrats hold only slim majorities in the House and Senate, and the administration will face other problems trying to find an agreement with sufficient support from within the president’s own party for the big spending. Republicans, who risk political fallout from doing nothing on potentially popular proposals, have resisted Biden’s approach as excessive. Late Friday, the group led by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.

The GOP senators have not said if they were preparing another proposal. Biden’s American Jobs Plan is a massive investment in not just roads, bridges and broadband, but also in water systems to remove lead from pipes, veterans hospitals and green energy, including electric vehicle charging stations that Republicans say go too far beyond traditional infrastructure spending. Republicans offered an initial $568 billion alternative more narrowly focused on roads, bridges, ports and broadband. Last week the GOP senators boosted that offer, but did not disclose the new total. According to a White House memo obtained by The Associated Press, the administration said the GOP offer bolstered the new spending by $50 billion — from $175 billion to $225 billion — beyond what Congress typically allocates. The two sides are also at odds over how to pay for any new spending. Biden wants to lift the corporate tax rate, from 21% to 28%. Republicans are staunchly opposed to any tax increases, having lowered the corporate rate from 35% in 2017 under their GOP tax plan. deaths) 100-109 — 2 cases (1 hospitalization) Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines are now available for free by appointment, Monday through Friday at the Meigs County Health Department.

And when NASCAR’s debut at the Circuit of the Americas ended early because of poor racing conditions in the rain, Elliott had earned not just his first victory of the season, but also historic ones for Hendrick Motorsports and Chevrolet. Elliott’s Texas Grand Prix victory after 54 of the expected 68 laps was win No. 800 for Chevrolet and No. 268 for Hendrick Motorsports, which tied Petty Enterprises for most victories. “I never thought we’d win this many races,” said team owner Rick Hendrick, whose team had also earned win Nos. 400, 500, 600 and 700 for Chevrolet. He called it “an honor” to tie Petty. “I’m so proud for Chevrolet,” Hendrick said. “I’ve never raced anything but Çhevrolet.” When pressed on what wins stand out over the years, Hendrick said, “It takes every one of those wins to get to the number we got to now. There’s just so many. All of them are special.” Sunday’s race will be notable for ending defending Cup champion Elliott’s winless drought, and for putting the drivers through a soggy and occasionally muddy mess before it was ended under the second red flag of the afternoon as the rain only got worse. Elliott’s teammate, Kyle Larson, and Team Penske’s Joey Logano rounded out the top three. “It’s not the ideal way to win, but we’ll take it,” said Elliott, who said he also had several close calls in the tricky conditions. “If they say race, we’re going to go. If they make the call to say its not doable, or not smart, that’s what we’ll do.” Elliott earned his sixth career road course victory, and has won five of the last six road races in the Cup Series. He has 12 Cup wins overall. The race call was a disappointing finish to the series’ first run at a track built for Formula One, and organizers will have to decide if they want to make the Austin track a regular stop. The rain started on the opening lap. The trickiest section to drive was the long, high-speed straight as the drivers risked hydroplaning or not being able to see through the spray kicked up by the cars around them. The worst crash came when Cole Custer, seeking a visible racing line, smashed into the back of Martin Truex Jr. — who had just hit Michael McDowell — and Custer’s front end briefly burst into a fireball on lap 25. Both drivers were checked at the medical center an released. “We don’t have any business being out in the rain, period,” said veteran driver Kevin Harvick. “All I can say is this is the worst decision that we’ve ever made in our sport that I’ve been a part of, and I’ve never felt more unsafe in my whole racing career, period.” Larson shrugged off some of the concerns. “There’s nothing safe about being a race car driver,” Larson said. “It was getting pretty crazy … That’s kind of what you have to expect from racing in the rain.” OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday, May 25 Baseball Parkersburg Catholic at Wahama, 5 p.m. Hannan at Buffalo, 6 p.m. Sissonville at Point Pleasant, 7 p.m. Softball Elk Valley at Hannan, 5:30 Wayne at Point Pleasant, 6 p.m. Wahama at Wirt County, 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 26 Baseball Wahama at Wirt County, 4:30 Softball Winfield at Point Pleasant, 5:30 Wahama at Lincoln County, 5:30 Track and Field OHSAA Region 11 at Southeastern, 4 p.m. Courtesy Kevin Wiseman | Athens Messenger Southern junior Kayla Evans, left, clears the final obstacle during the 300m hurdles final on Saturday at the D-3 District Track and Field Championships held at Nelsonville-York High School in Nelsonville, Ohio.
