West Virginia’s drawings were inspired by similar ones hatched by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. Justice, a Republican, initially announced last month that the state was giving away $100 gift cards or savings bonds for vaccinated residents ages 16 to 35.

MEIGS COUNTY — A bridge replacement project began on April 12 on State Route 143, between Lee Road (Township Road 168) and Ball Run Road (Township Road 20A). One lane will be closed.

Justice had projected that more than twothirds of eligible residents ages 12 and over would be vaccinated by the time the mask mandate was removed. But the state fell short of that goal — 61.5% had received at least one dose by Sunday. The lifting of the indoor mask mandate comes 11 months after Justice issued the order after months of simply urging residents to wear them. The state has not seen daily confirmed cases surpass 200 this month after peaking at more than 1,900 in early January. The number of residents hospitalized from the virus Sunday was at its lowest point since last August and the number of statewide active cases, 2,521, hasn’t been this low since early September. Justice said only people who get vaccinated have the chance to have their names read as prize winners. Those who don’t get vaccinated take the risk of being hospitalized or worse — become one of the deceased that the governor mentions at his weekly news conferences. “You’re in a drawing to see if your number’s going to be drawn and you’re going to be one of those that I read that have passed on,” Justice said. “It’s a heck of a choice in my book.” Monday, June 28 is located at 113 E.

The case doesn’t decide whether students can be paid salaries. Instead, the ruling will help determine whether schools decide to offer athletes tens of thousands of dollars in those benefits for things including tutoring, study abroad programs and graduate scholarships. The high court agreed with a group of former college athletes that NCAA limits on the education-related benefits that colleges can offer athletes who play Division I basketball and football are unenforceable. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the court that the NCAA sought “immunity from the normal operation of the antitrust laws,” which the court declined to grant. Under current NCAA rules, students cannot be paid, and the scholarship money colleges can offer is capped at the cost of attending the school. The NCAA had defended its rules as necessary to preserve the amateur nature of college sports. But the former athletes who brought the case, including former West Virginia football player Shawne Alston, argued that the NCAA’s rules on education-related compensation were unfair and violate federal antitrust law designed to promote competition. The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling barring the NCAA from enforcing those rules. As a result of the ruling, the NCAA itself can’t bar schools from sweetening their offers to Division I basketball and football players with additional education-related benefits. But individual athletic conferences can still set limits if they choose. A lawyer for the former athletes had said before the ruling that he believed that if his clients won, “very many schools” would ultimately offer additional benefits. The NCAA had argued that a ruling for the athletes could lead to a blurring of the line between college and professional sports, with colleges trying to lure talented athletes by offering over-thetop education benefits worth thousands of dollars. Even without the court’s ruling, however, changes seem on the way for how college athletes are compensated. The NCAA is trying to amend its rules to allow athletes to profit from their names, images and likenesses. That would allow athletes to earn money for things like sponsorship deals, online endorsement and personal appearances.

Jon Rahm’s back nine paves way to US Open title By Jim Litke Associated Press Everyone who’s played it, from the late, great Ben Hogan to the guys you get paired with down at the local muni, has probably said it at one time or another: Golf is a game of misses. It also happens to be the shortest way to explain how Jon Rahm won the U.S. Open. Take nothing away from the 26-year-old Spaniard. Whatever shots Rahm missed didn’t miss by much. His final-round 67 included only one bogey and tied the low score on the day. Guys who’ve played the PGA Tour for longer than he’s been alive have never made two putts in a row as delicate as the almostidentical sidewinders he cashed in for birdies on the last two holes of a major. “I mean, I might have looked calm,” Rahm said afterward. “I was not calm. I wish people could see our heart rate when we’re playing in those moments because that was tense. “But you practice to let your body basically take over, right?” he added. “That’s what I did.” It’s more difficult than Rahm made it sound, to be sure. Yet he generates fearsome power from one of the shortest backswings on the PGA Tour, which also makes it a lot simpler to repeat. That’s why so many fellow pros tabbed Rahm as the game’s next superstar not long after he joined their ranks — fewer moving parts means less to screw up coming down the pressure-packed stretch of a tough tournament like the U.S. Open. “I don’t think there’s a golf course where he can’t have success on,” said Rory McIlory, who shot 72 and finished in a tie for seventh. “He’s that good of a player. He was a major champion in waiting. It was just a matter of time.” Like a nearly a dozen other golfers, McIlroy was in the mix in the final few hours at Torrey Pines. So were Louis Oosthuizen, who shot an even-par 71 and finished second, Brooks Koepka (69, T4), Colin Morikawa (70, T4) Xander Schauffle (71, T7), Russell Henley (76, T13) Dustin Johnson (74, T19) and defending champion Bryson DeChambeau (77, T26). By mid-afternoon, there were 10 players within two shots of the lead – hard-boiled major champions and can’t-miss prospects – and then a game of musical chairs broke out. Suddenly, everybody started missing. McIlroy three-putted the 11th, then made double bogey from a bunker at No. 12. Morikawa made double at No. 13. Koepka, who shot 32 on the front nine, came home in 37. Oosthuizen was the last player to lose his seat, hooking his tee shot on 17 into a canyon. Yet none of them flamed out like DeChambeau. He led briefly after a tap-in birdie at the par-3 8th, then played the back nine in 44. He went bogey-bogey-double bogey at Nos. 11, 12 and 13, and just for good measure, sent a drive into the same canyon as Oosthuizen at No. 17 and shanked a chip shot farther up the fairway for quadruple-bogey there. “I didn’t get off the rails at all,” said DeChambeau, who probably should avoid any replays. “It’s golf. I’ve had plenty of times where I hit it way worse than today and I won. “It’s just one of those things,” he said finally, “where I didn’t have the right breaks happen at the right time.” OK. And it’s probably just coincidence, too, that Rahm was the only player who didn’t drop a shot on the back nine. “I’m not going to lie,” Rahm said. “I was trying not to look at the leaderboards, but the crowd was not cooperating. They were telling me exactly what was going on. So I decided to embrace it. “You see all those great names, and to myself I thought whoever wins this one is going to be the one who won a U.S. Open with a star-packed leaderboard. I just — after I thought that, I went about my business. That was about the 10th hole,” he recalled. “I knew I had to survive the next two holes and hopefully give myself a chance on the next five. I did.” That he did it as a brand-new father on Father’s Day, as the first Spaniard ever to win the U.S. Open, and less than two weeks after he had to withdraw from the Memorial with a 6-shot lead after three rounds because of a positive COVID test, made his win seem almost preordained. “Just because it felt like such a fairy tale story that I knew it was going to have a happy ending.” Rahm said. “I could just tell, just going down the fairway after that first tee shot, that second shot, and that birdie, I knew there was something special in the air. I could just feel it.” And there was no way he was going to miss that. �6 Tuesday, June 22, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing CALL OH-70241795 1-800-331-2644 TO FIND A COVID-19 VACCINE PROVIDER NEAR YOU �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Post 39 From page 5 added a hit.
