Children 16 years old and under will be able to bring their Power Wheels and Bicycles to be judged by members of C and J Auto Body. “We want to get people out of their homes this summer and give them something to do free of charge — get them active and socializing with other members of the community,” Babb said. “I’m working to make sure the event offers something to each generation.” Babb said he is also working to have a tent for community members to met local ﬁrst responders. “We also want to interact with the public and let them know that we have a new administration and new ofﬁcers here at Pomeroy PD who care about the community and are here to help them,” Babb said. For the event, Babb said they are still in need of food vendors or other vendors. There is no charge to be a vendor at this year’s event and electric and water will be provided.

The meeting came about after Jill Biden expressed interest in visiting the region, including the school where she and Zelenska met, and settled on the idea of spending Mother’s Day with Ukrainian moms, said Michael LaRosa, the ﬁrst lady’s spokesperson. He said the Ukrainian government informed the United States that Zelenska would like to meet, if possible, and that a meeting was ﬁnalized in recent days. The ﬁrst ladies also had recently exchanged correspondence, according to U.S. ofﬁcials who declined to provide further details because they were not authorized to discuss those private communications. After meeting privately for about a half hour, the ﬁrst ladies joined a group of children who live at the school in making tissue-paper bears to give as Mother’s Day gifts. LaRosa described their conversation as “more of a personal mother-to-mother exchange” and said Biden was interested in how Zelenska was coping “through that lens.” He said Zelenska told Biden that she was able to hold her children’s hands every night even though she could not be with her husband. The Bidens spoke by tele- phone afterward, he said. Biden’s visit followed recent stops in the war-torn country by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress, and a joint trip by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv. Her visit was to western Ukraine; Russia is concentrating its military power in eastern Ukraine, and she was not in harm’s way. On the same day as Biden’s visit, a Russian bomb ﬂattened a school in eastern Ukraine that had been sheltering about 90 people in its basement, with dozens feared dead. Also Sunday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Ukraine to meet with the president and “reafﬁrm Canada’s unwavering support for the Ukrainian people,” according to his ofﬁce. Earlier, in the Slovakian border village of Vysne Nemecke, Biden toured its border processing facility, surveying operations set up by the United Nations and relief organizations to assist Ukrainians seeking refuge. Biden attended a religious service in a tent set up as a chapel, where a priest intoned, “We pray for the people of Ukraine.” Call Trump or Pence?

Trump’s late-stage endorsement of JD Vance in Ohio’s GOP Senate primary catapulted the “Hillbilly Elegy” author to victory in last week’s election, reinforcing the deep ties the former president holds among the most loyal Republican voters. “Every single candidate that I endorsed won their primaries on Tuesday,” Trump crowed at a Friday night rally in Pennsylvania, where he held up Vance as a trophy of his achievement. “Tuesday’s primary results are just the latest proof that we have transformed the face of the Republican Party. Thank goodness.” With Trump trying to assert his dominance over the party ahead of another potential presidential run, some allies say the Ohio victory could encourage him to step up his involvement in other bitter primary ﬁghts from Arizona to Missouri, where a former governor and current U.S. Senate candidate, Eric Greitens, is facing allegations of abuse. But there’s also caution that the coming phase of the campaign, which continues on Tuesday with a tight GOP race for governor in Nebraska, could be more complicated for Trump. “Round one to Trump, but I think it gets an Joe Maiorana | AP file Republican Senate candidate JD Vance speaks at a rally April 23 at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Delaware, Ohio. Former President Donald Trump’s late-stage endorsement of JD Vance in Ohio’s GOP Senate primary catapulted the “Hillbilly Elegy” author to victory in last week’s election, reinforcing the deep loyalty the former president holds among the most loyal Republican voters. awful lot harder from here,” said Dan Eberhart, a GOP donor who spent time last week at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. “I think it’s going to encourage him to get even more involved and it’s also got to worry him,” Eberhart said, pointing to questions about what it will be like “the day after Pennsylvania or the day after Georgia?” In some respects, Trump’s allies acknowledge, Ohio was a uniquely favorable state for him. Trump carried Ohio by more than 8 percentage points in the 2016 and 2020 elections. The candidates running to ﬁll the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Rob Portman desperately courted his endorsement while trying to paint themselves to voters as the Trumpiest of the bunch. The ﬁeld was crowded, meaning that even a small bump would have been enough to make a difference. And Trump’s endorsement addressed what had been Vance’s biggest vulnerability in the race: his past criticism of Trump. “It clariﬁed things, consolidated the vote and helped JD overcome a trust deﬁcit with primary voters,” said Luke Thompson, who ran Vance’s super PAC. “That happens because Trump’s endorsement told conservative voters: You can trust this guy because I do.” Yet even in that environment, there were warning signs for Trump. More than two-thirds of Republican voters who cast ballots in the race voted for Vance’s rivals. And nearly a quarter chose Matt Dolan, the only candidate who did not seek Trump’s nod. For now, however, Trump is riding high. And allies say the former president may be willing to take even greater risks now that he has notched a major victory. That could mean an endorsement soon in Arizona’s competitive Senate primary, where Republicans will choose a candidate in August to take on Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a top target for Republicans. Trump was already seen as favoring Blake Masters, a young conservative, who, like Vance, has the backing of billionaire and PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel, but lacks Vance’s celebrity appeal. Masters is running against Attorney General Mark Brnovich and businessman Jim Lamon. Trump has repeatedly railed against Brnovich, accusing him of not ﬁghting hard enough to overturn the will of voters in the 2020 election. Matt Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union, said he thinks Trump took a risk in endorsing Vance. “He SATURDAY, MAY 14, 2022 @ 10:00 A.M. with a series of airstrikes.

Next week, Trump’s pick for an open Senate seat in North Carolina, Rep. Ted Budd, is well positioned against former Gov. Pat McCrory and former Rep. Mark Walker after a rocky start. But in Pennsylvania, celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz is locked in a tight race with ex-hedge fund CEO David McCormick and conservative activist Kathy Barnette, according to the most recent Franklin and Marshall College poll, despite Trump’s late-stage endorsement. Trump’s decision to back Oz earned the doctor a wave of media attention and a rally Friday night, where Trump trumpeted the impact of his Vance endorsement (“He was like a rocket ship,” Trump said, with sound effects), praised Oz (“I’ve known him a long time. His show is great. He’s on that screen. He’s in the bedrooms of all those women”) and eviscerated McCormick as a “liberal Wall Street Republican” who is “absolutely the candidate of special interests and globalists and the Washington establishment.” But Oz has not seen the same kind of poll bounce that Vance enjoyed in the days after Trump waded in. And that resistance was on display in the rain and mud on Friday, with some in the crowd booing at the mention of Oz’s name before Trump’s arrival and others standing and turning their backs to him when he walked on stage, according to video of the event.

If you endorse someone and they don’t win, it can be perceived that your endorsement doesn’t matter as much.” Schlapp is supporting Lamon. The rest of the month’s calendar will be more challenging for Trump, especially in races with incumbents. On Tuesday, Republicans will vote in Nebraska, where Trump had endorsed Charles Herbster, who was seen as a strong front-runner through much of the race but is now ﬁghting accusations that he groped at least eight young women at public events. Nearly all of Nebraska’s GOP establishment leaders have lined up behind businessman Jim Pillen. Meanwhile, in West Virginia, a race in the 2nd Congressional District between Republican Reps. Alex Mooney and David McKinley will serve as another barometer of Trump’s clout in a state he won twice by large margins. Trump endorsed Mooney the day President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan infrastructure bill into law last year.

AP source: Jokic captures 2nd straight NBA MVP award The high school postseason is just around the corner, but the roads to the district tournament were paved last weekend as the 2022 OHSAA Southeast District baseball tournaments were ofﬁcially released for all four divisions throughout the state. A half-dozen Ohio Valley Publishing schools — Gallia Academy, Meigs, River Valley, Southern, South Gallia and Eastern — now know where their opening games will be and who they will be facing in their respective sectional matchups. Only one of the six area programs needs a single win to get out of sectional play, while the other ﬁve squads need at least two victories to advance to their respective district tournaments. Starting in Division IV, Southern is the lone area program facing a 1-anddone in getting to the district tournament as the Tornadoes earned the nine seed and travels to eighth seeded Manchester for a sectional ﬁnal matchup at5 p.m. Thursday, May 17. Also in the Chillicothe 2 bracket of Division IV is South Gallia, which earned a 20 seed and travels to 13th seeded Portsmouth Clay for a sectional semiﬁnal at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 14. Eastern — the 11th seed in the D-4 Chillicothe 1 bracket — welcomes 22 seed Sciotoville East for a sectional semiﬁnal contest at 5 p.m. Saturday, May 14.

Not from Wilt. Not from Kareem. Not from “Air Jordan.” Not from LeBron. With a historic season, the Denver Nuggets big man earned his second straight Most Valuable Player award, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday. The NBA was preparing to make the announcement in the coming days, likely this week, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the voting results have not been announced. ESPN, citing sources, ﬁrst reported that Jokic would be named MVP again. The 7-foot center became the ﬁrst player in league history to eclipse 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists in a season. And that sort of dominance by the player nicknamed “Joker” helped convince voters that he should be the 13th player of the NBA’s exclusive MVP backto-back club. The other ﬁnalists — who will ﬁnish second and third in some order — were Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid, who led the league in scoring average, and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of the reigning champion Milwaukee Bucks. The 27-year-old Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists on a team that was missing two max players in Jamal Murray (ACL) and Michael Porter Jr. (back). Required to carry the load night in and out, the big man from Sombor, Serbia, answered the call and guided the Nuggets to a 48-win season. They earned the No. 6 seed in the West before losing in ﬁve games to the Golden State Warriors in the opening round of the playoffs. “It’s just remarkable what he’s done,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone recently said of Jokic. “I know that I’m very biased, I admit it wholeheartedly — the MVP isn’t even a competition. There’s other great players, I’m not saying they’re not great players, but what Nikola Jokic has done this year, with this team, with everything that we’ve had to go through, is incredible.” The award is likely the start of a huge offseason for Jokic, who is eligible for a supermax extension that could guarantee him nearly $254 million over ﬁve seasons starting with 2023-24. He’ll make $32.4 million next season. “There’s nothing more important” than keeping Jokic, Nuggets president of basketball operations Tim Connelly recently said.

The Hawks drafted him No. 15 overall in 2014, traded him to the Timberwolves, and he averaged 6.7 points and 5.1 rebounds as a potentially promising rookie. The Magic waived the 6-foot-10 forward in January, 2018, after he was part of an ESPN report that detailed sexual assault allegations against former basketball and football players at the school. Payne played professionally earlier this year for Juventus in Lithuania. He also played in Turkey, France, Greece and China. Payne, who is from Dayton, Ohio, started in 94 of 138 games over four seasons for Hall of Fame coach Tom Izzo at Michigan State. He averaged 16.4 points and 7.3 rebounds as a senior during the 2013-14 season. Former college teammate Brandon Wood said he had kept in touch with Payne, speaking with him as recently as last month about his plans to start a non-fungible token. “He was looking to start an NFT tied to the Spartans,” Wood said in a telephone interview. “I’ll never forget the good times I had with him and Draymond (Green) when we were roommates. If you ever spent time around AP, you understood that he had a really big heart and he cared about people.” Michigan State great Magic Johnson remembered Payne with a post on social media. “Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and Spartan Nation! Adreian will be sorely missed,” Johnson wrote on Twitter.

Larson won 10 races difﬁculty matching the in 2021 for Hendrick on the way to the championship. Kevin Harvick had eight wins for StewartHaas in 2020 in making the ﬁnal eight. This season, only Ross Chastain and Byron have multiple wins. Chastain took the checkered ﬂag at the Circuit of the Americas and Talladega. Byron won at Atlanta and Martinsville. “I expect (winning) to get tougher as we go and everyone ﬁgures the car out,” Wolfe said. Typical playoff participants and past Cup Series champions like Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski and Harvick remain outside looking in with the regular season’s halfway point ahead next week in Kansas. That likely means harder racing and aggressive moves at the end like Logano’s ram-and-run at Darlington. Logano said Byron got the lead on a ﬁnal restart by knocking him into the wall. So when Logano closed in at the end, there was no doubt what the 2018 NASCAR champion would do. Byron left and angry and bewildered. He dismissed Logano’s contention of retribution, calling him a “moron” and an “idiot.” “I’ve been called a lot worse,” Logano said, grinning from ear to ear after locking up a playoff spot for the 10th time in 11 seasons.

It’s a necessity,” Biden said at a sun-drenched rose garden event with representatives from participating companies, as well as members of Congress. The $1 trillion infrastructure package passed by Congress last year included $14.2 billion Panel From page 1 building that day called for his hanging. There are reasons to funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on internet service for millions of lower-income households. With the new commitment from the internet providers, some 48 million households will be eligible for $30 monthly plans for 100 megabits per second, or higher speed, service — making internet service fully paid for with government assistance if they sign up with one of the providers participating in the program. Biden noted that families of four earning about $55,000 annually — or those including someone eligible for Medicaid — will get a $30 monthly credit, meaning about 40 percent of Americans will qualify. “This is a case where big business stepped up. We’re trying to get others to do the same thing,” Biden told the crowd to sustained applause. “It’s going to change peoples’ lives.” Advocates were cautiously optimistic. “It might be a gamechanger,” said Marty Newell, coordinator for Rural Broadband Policy at the Center for Rural Strategies in Whitesburg, Kentucky, where he said slow internet has plagued residents and businesses alike. Newell said he wanted to see more about what the program will mean going forward, but that his main question is — given that increased broadband access has generally been a bipartisan issue in Congress -- “What took them so long” Biden, during his White House run and the push for the infrastructure bill, made expanding high-speed internet access in rural and lowincome areas a priority. He has repeatedly spoken out about low-income families that struggled ﬁnding reliable Wi-Fi, so their children could take part in remote schooling and complete homework assignments early in the coronavirus pandemic, including, he said Monday, families driving to McDonald’s parking lots to access wireless internet inside the restaurant. The 20 internet companies that have agreed to lower their rates for eligible consumers provide service in areas where 80% of the U.S. population, including 50% of the rural population, live, the president said. Participating companies that offer service on tribal lands are providing $75 rates in those areas, the equivalent of the federal government subsidy in those areas. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also met Monday with telecom executives, members of Congress and others to spotlight the effort to improve access to highspeed internet for lowincome households. The president said a top priority going forward will be increasing competition among internet providers in many parts of the country, noting that millions of Americans live in areas with just one provider and currently pay higher prices because of it. The participating providers are Allo Communications, AltaFiber (and Hawaiian Telecom), Altice USA (Optimum and Suddenlink), Astound, AT&T, Breezeline, Comcast, Comporium, Frontier, IdeaTek, Cox Communications, Jackson Energy Authority, MediaCom, MLGC, Spectrum (Charter Communications), Starry, Verizon (Fios only), Vermont Telephone Co., Vexus Fiber and Wow! Internet, Cable, and TV. American households are eligible for subsidies through the Affordable Connectivity Program if their income is at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, or if a member of their family participates in one of several programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA) and Veterans Pension and Survivors Beneﬁt. call either or both of them.

But some lawmakers on the panel have argued that they’ve obtained all the information they need without Trump and Pence. Nearly a year into their wide-ranging investigation into the worst attack on the Capitol in more than two centuries, the House committee has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and received more than 100,000 pages of documents. Interviews have been conducted out of the public eye in obscure federal ofﬁce buildings and private Zoom sessions. The Democratic chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, said in early April that the committee has been able to validate a lot of the statements attributed to Trump and Pence without their testimony. He said at that time there was “no effort on the part of the committee” to call Pence, though there have been discussions since then about potentially doing so. Speaking about Pence, Thompson said the panel had “initially thought it would be important” to call him, but “there are a lot of things on that day we know — we know the people who tried to get him to change his mind about the count and all of that, so what is it we need?” A lot of the people they are interviewing, Thompson added, “are people we didn’t have on the original list.” The panel, comprised of seven Democrats and two Republicans, has said that the evidence it has compiled is enough to link Trump to a federal crime. Much of the evidence the committee has released so far has come from White House aides and staff — including little-known witnesses like Cassidy Hutchinson, a former special assistant in the Trump White House, and Greg Jacob, who served as Pence’s chief counsel in the vice president’s ofﬁce.
