Republican Gov. Mike DeWine on Tuesday signed “Collin’s Law,” named for Collin Wiant, an 18-year-old Ohio University freshman who died in 2018 after ingesting nitrous oxide at a fraternity house. “Collin was a protector by nature,” Kathleen Wiant, who championed the legislation since her son’s death, said Tuesday at the signing ceremony. “I can think of no greater way to honor him than a law in his name designed for the sole purpose of protecting others.” When it takes effect in October, hazing violations will be elevated to seconddegree misdemeanors, and hazing involving forced consumption of drugs or alcohol that seriously harms someone would be a thirddegree felony punishable with possible prison time. The measure, which cleared the Legislature with bipartisan support, also requires that college campuses provide anti-hazing training and online information about reported hazing violations. DeWine signed the bill flanked by Wiant’s family and the family of Bowling Green State University student Stone Foltz, whose death in March in another alleged fraternity hazing contributed to momentum for passing the new law. “This is really a question of culture, and for decades, the culture of hazing has been accepted as something that is tolerated,” DeWine said. “This bill says that, going forward, hazing in the state of Ohio is simply not tolerated.” Foltz’s mother called it a step in the right direction but not the end of her family’s fight to prevent hazing altogether. “Our fight is zero tolerance,” Shari Foltz said.

Independence Day parade, activities held By Kayla (Hawthorne) Dunham khawthorne@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — Racine’s annual 4th of July celebration took place on Sunday in the village. The events began at the volunteer fire department at 11 a.m. for chicken barbeque dinners and homemade ice cream. The events resumed at 6:30 p.m. with a parade which looped through the village and included several participants. Businesses, churches, first responders, sports teams, politicians, fair royalty, the education association, tractor drivers, ATV riders, horses and many more were part of the parade line-up on Sunday. After the parade, many went to Star Mill Park to wait on the firework display. At the park, Kona Ice was set up, as was a bounce house to entertain children. The annual frog jumping competition was also at the park. Participants of all ages could bring their own frogs or rent on at the event to see which one jumps the furthest. Each frog got three jumps and then the length of the consecutive jumps is measured to determine the winner. To conclude the evening, fireworks were set off at 10 p.m. Additional photos from the activities in Star Mill Park will appear in an upcoming edition of The Daily Sentinel. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

(AP) — Growth in the services sector, where most Americans work, slowed in June following record expansion in May. The Institute for Supply Management said Tuesday that its monthly survey of service industries retreated to a reading of 60.1, following a all-time high reading of 64 in May. Any reading above 50 indicates the sector is expanding. It’s the 13th straight month of expansion in the services sector following a two-month contraction in April and May of last year as businesses were forced to shut down during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. After five consecutive months of expansion, the employment index fell into contraction territory in June with a reading of 49.3, down from May’s 55.3, suggesting many companies are still struggling to hire enough workers. The Labor Department reported an encouraging burst of hiring in its jobs report last week, 850,000 jobs added in June, well above the average of the previous three months. Hiring in June was particularly strong in restaurants, bars and hotels.

(AP) — The Biden administration plans to issue a new rule to protect the rights of farmers who raise cows, chickens and hogs against the country’s largest meat processors as part of a plan to encourage more competition in the agriculture sector. The new rule that will make it easier for farmers to sue companies they contract with over unfair, discriminatory or deceptive practices is one of several steps that the White House plans to announce in the next few days. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is also expected to tighten the definition of what it means for meat to be labeled a “Product of USA” to exclude when animals are raised in other countries and simply processed in the United States. Some farmer advocacy groups have pressed for these changes for several years but Congress and the meat processing industry have resisted change. A USDA official familiar with the White House’s plan said an executive order is expected to be announced this week that will clear the way for the new rules. The regulation will make it easier for farmers to bring complaints under the Packers and Stockyards Act and is similar to one the Trump administration killed four years ago. That rule was first proposed in 2010. Several court rulings have interpreted federal law as saying a farmer must prove a company’s actions harm competition in the entire industry before a lawsuit can move forward. The new rule would ease that high burden of proof. Chicken and pork producers, for example, often must enter long-term contracts with companies such as Tyson Foods and Pilgrim’s Pride that farmers say lock them into deals that fix their compensation at unprofitably low levels and force them deep into debt. Previously, major meat companies have defended the system as fair; it calls for farmers to provide barns and labor to raise chickens while the companies provide chicks, feed and expertise. The North American Meat Institute, which represents meat processors, said the proposed rule would likely encourage “costly, specious lawsuits.” But Bill Bullard, who leads a trade group representing farmers and ranchers, said the change should better protect individuals in their dealings with the four major meat companies, which together control roughly 70% of U.S. beef production. “It will help to reform the marketplace and balance the tremendous disparity in power between multinational meatpackers and independent family-owned cattle farms and ranches,” said Bullard, who is CEO of the R-CALF USA trade group. The USDA also plans to review the definition of what it means for meat to be labeled a “Product of USA.” Currently, companies can use that label whenever meat is processed in the United States.

Troise sank as the report suggested this year’s surge in inflation may have already peaked and as nervousness rose in the market. The 10-year Treasury yield dropped to 1.37% from 1.44% on Friday and is back to where it was in February. It had rallied powerfully earlier this year on worries that inflation was set to burst to dangerous levels as the economy roared back to life. The report indicated prices that U.S. services businesses are paying rose at a slower rate last month. Exam gloves and masks got cheaper, for example, and the price index for the U.S. services industry decelerated to 79.5 in June after hitting a peak of 80.6 in May, according to the Institute Oil prices pulled back after jumping overnight when talks among members of the OPEC cartel and allied oil producing countries broke off in the midst of a standoff with the United Arab Emirates over production levels. The U.S. benchmark crude oil price fell 2.5% to $73.32; it earlier rose to $76.98, the highest level since November 2014. Falling oil prices dragged down energy companies. Exxon Mobil fell 2.8% and Chevron fell 2.1%. Investors got another small snapshot of the economy, with a report showing growth in the services sector, where most Americans work, slowed in June following record expansion in May. Longer-term Treasury yields AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell in midday trading Tuesday, with the S&P 500 down 0.8% after notching a string of record high closes. Oil prices retreated after jumping overnight and bond prices rose, sending the yield on the 10-year Treasury to its lowest level since February. The S&P 500 index was down 35 points as of 12:10 a.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 370 points, or 1.1%, to 34,415 and the Nasdaq Composite was down 0.5%. The broad slide was led by banks and industrial companies. Technology stocks were among the few gainers.

It goes well beyond Biden’s vision of spending roughly $4 trillion on similar projects. Manchin has said he wants to pare it back further, a view many moderate Democrats endorse but that progressives say would eviscerate the president’s agenda. Sanders is now immersed in talks with his panel’s Democrats on finding a compromise on spending and offsetting revenues. The party is hoping he can craft a budget resolution — the first step in Congress’ creaky process for churning out spending and tax bills — that Democrats can push through the Senate and House this month. Lawmakers would likely work on detailed bills actually providing the funds and revenue this fall.

With trillions in spending at their disposal, Democratic leaders have plenty of options for designing programs that appeal to lawmakers’ hometown interests to win votes. More broadly, however, the intraparty fight pits two ideologies against each other — progressives’ eagerness to help needy families, moderates seeking to do so but with fiscal constraints — and their differences are real.

With virtually no votes to spare and saber rattling by both Democratic factions, leaders are finding their search for middle ground arduous — even though the president’s push for infrastructure projects and family-centered initiatives is his top domestic priority. With Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., winning the spotlight this year for pulling his party rightward by issuing demands on crucial issues, plenty of centrists and liberals are now using that same playbook.

With noise from power saws and backhoes in the background, crews in yellow helmets and blue jumpsuits searched the debris for a 13th day while the weather complicated their efforts. Wind and rain from outer bands of Tropical Storm Elsa lashed the Miami area. Search-and-rescue workers continued to look for open spaces where people might be found alive nearly two weeks after the disaster struck at the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside. “We’re actively searching as aggressively as we can,” Miami-Dade County Fire Chief Alan Cominsky Lynne Sladky | AP Rescue crews work in the rubble of the collapsed Champlain Towers South condominium building Tuesday in Surfside, Fla. said at a news conference. But he added: “Unfortunately, we are not seeing anything positive. The key things — void spaces, living spaces — we’re not seeing anything like that.” While officials still call the efforts a search-and- rescue operation, MiamiDade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said families of those still missing are preparing for news of “tragic loss.” “I think everybody will be ready when it’s time to move to the next phase,” said Levine Cava, who stressed that crews would use the same care as they go through the rubble even after their focus shifts from searching for survivors to recovering the dead. “Really, you will not see Hunt for Capitol attackers still on By Alanna Durkin Richer and Michael Kunzelman a difference,” she said. “We will carefully search for bodies and belongings, and to catalog and respectfully deal with any remains that we find.” No one has been rescued alive since the first hours after the collapse, which struck early on June 24, when many of the building’s residents were asleep. Officials announced Tuesday that four additional bodies had been found in the debris, raising the death toll to 32. Up to 113 people remain unaccounted for, though only 70 of those are confirmed to have been inside the building when it collapsed, Levine Cava said. Severe weather from Elsa threatened to hinder search efforts. Lightning forced rescuers to pause their work for two hours early Tuesday, MiamiDade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah said. And stiff winds of 20 mph (32 kph), with stronger gusts, hampered efforts to move heavy debris with cranes, officials said. However, the storm’s heaviest winds and rain were expected to bypass Surfside and neighboring Miami as Elsa strengthened before making landfall somewhere between Tampa Bay and Florida’s Big Bend on a path across northern Florida. Pentagon cancels disputed JEDI cloud contract with Microsoft Associated Press By Robert Burns The first waves of arrests in the deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol focused on the easy targets. Dozens in the pro-Trump mob openly bragged about their actions on Jan. 6 on social media and were captured in shocking footage broadcast live by national news outlets. But six months after the insurrection, the Justice Department is still hunting for scores of rioters, even as the first of more than 500 people already arrested have pleaded guilty. The struggle reflects the massive scale of the investigation and the grueling work still ahead for authorities in the face of an increasing effort by some Republican lawmakers to rewrite what happened that day. Among those who still haven’t been caught: the person who planted two pipe bombs outside the offices of the Republican and Democratic national committees the night before the melee, as well as many people accused of attacks on law enforcement officers or violence and threats against journalists. The FBI website AP National Security Writer Jose Luis Magana | AP Rioters loyal to then-President Donald Trump climb the West Wall of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Even as the first of the more than 500 federal Capitol riot defendants have begun to plead guilty, scores of suspects remain unidentified, reflecting the massive scale of the Justice Department’s investigation and the grueling work authorities still face to track everyone down. seeking information about those involved in the Capitol violence includes more than 900 pictures of roughly 300 people labeled “unidentified.” Part of the problem is that authorities made very few arrests on Jan. 6. They were focused instead on clearing the building of members of the massive mob that attacked police, damaged historic property and combed the halls for lawmakers they threatened to kill. Federal investigators are forced to go back and hunt down participants. The FBI has since received countless tips and pieces of digital media from the public. But a tip is only the first step of a painstaking process — involving things like search warrants and interviews — to confirm people’s identities and their presence at the insurrection in order to bring a case in court. And authorities have no record of many of the attackers because this was their first run-in with the law. The FBI has been helped by “sedition hunters,” or armchair detectives who have teamed up to identify some of the most elusive suspects, using crowdsourcing to pore over the vast trove of videos and photos from the assault. Forrest Rogers, a business consultant who helped form a group of sedition hunters called “Deep State Dogs,” said the group has reported the possible identities of about 100 suspects to the FBI based on evidence it collected. WASHINGTON — The Pentagon said Tuesday it canceled a disputed cloud-computing contract with Microsoft that could eventually have been worth $10 billion. It will instead pursue a deal with both Microsoft and Amazon and possibly other cloud service providers. “With the shifting technology environment, it has become clear that the JEDI Cloud contract, which has long been delayed, no longer meets the requirements to fill the DoD’s capability gaps,” the Pentagon said in a statement. The statement did not directly mention that the Pentagon faced extended legal challenges by Amazon to the original $1 million contract awarded to Microsoft. Amazon argued that the Microsoft award was tainted by politics, particularly then-President Donald Trump’s antagonism toward Amazon’s chief executive officer, Jeff Bezos. Bezos owns The Washington Post, a newspaper often criticized by Trump. The Pentagon’s chief information officer, John Sherman, told reporters Tuesday that during the lengthy legal fight with Amazon, “the landscape has evolved” with new possibilities for large-scale cloud computing services. Thus it was decided, he said, to start over and seek multiple vendors. Sherman said JEDI will be replaced by a new program called Joint Warfighter Cloud Capability, and that both Amazon and Microsoft “likely” will be awarded parts of the business, although neither is guaranteed. Sherman said the three other large cloud service providers — Google, IBM and Oracle — might qualify, too. Microsoft said in response to the Pentagon announcement, “We understand the DoD s rationale, and we support them and every military member who needs the missioncritical 21st century technology JEDI would have provided.

(AP) — Investigators believe a golf pro was shot to death on the course at his country club in the Atlanta suburbs because he witnessed a “crime in progress,” police said Tuesday. It does not appear that golf pro Eugene Siller was targeted, but rather was gunned down because of the crime he came upon Saturday afternoon, Cobb County police said in an update on the triple slaying. When police arrived at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, they found a white pickup truck the suspect had been driving stuck above a sand trap near the 10th hole, with the bodies of two other dead men in the bed. Police said the suspect is still at large. He’s believed to have fled on foot after his truck got stuck. Local news photos of the crime scene showed the truck teetering above a sand trap. Police described him as about 6-foot-1 with long hair, last seen wearing a white or tan shirt and dark-colored work pants. The two men whose bodies were found in the truck — Paul Pierson and a man who has yet to be identified by police — appear to have “no relation to the location at all,” police said in a statement. Pierson was the truck’s registered owner. The country club is near the campus of Kennesaw State Univer- sity. The school tweeted after the shooting that there were no credible threats to the campus, which is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of downtown Atlanta. Siller was a 1992 graduate of Colerain High School near Cincinnati, Ohio, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. He graduated from Purdue University in Indiana in 1996, school officials told reporters. Siller joined Pinetree as director of golf in September 2019, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Earlier, he had worked at country clubs in the Atlanta suburbs of Johns Creek and Snellville. �CLASSIFIEDS (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN Wednesday, July 7, 2021 5 (740) 992-2155 or fax to (740) 992-2157 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN EMPLOYMENT IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, GALLIA COUNTY, OHIO Help Wanted General -2% 3267,1* The Gallia County Engineer, Brett A.

John and Judy Trzebiatowski died of the illness just a week apart last August, sending Brown into a black tunnel of grief that doesn’t seem to have an end. Health restrictions stripped away the things that normally help people deal with death, such as bedside visits at the Wisconsin hospital where they were treated and a big funeral with hugs and tears, she said. That left Brown to deal with her sorrow on her own, and now she’s having a hard time seeing a way forward. With more than 605,000 dead of COVID19 in the United States and nearly 4 million worldwide, Brown is among the thousands or more who could be experiencing prolonged grief, the kind of mourning that experts say can prevent people from moving beyond a death and functioning normally again. “It’s the most horrible thing to have to go through,” said Brown. “I would not wish this upon anyone.” Natalia Skritskaya, an expert on grieving, said it’s too early to say whether prolonged grieving, also known as complicated grief, will be a major complication from the pandemic — it isn’t yet over, with thousands still dying daily worldwide, including hundreds in the United States. Many mourners have yet to pass the one-year anniversary of a loss, and few studies have been published so far on the psychiatric fallout, she said. But prolonged grief is Bebeto Matthews | AP Noreen Wasti shows a framed family photo of herself as a child with her father, Salman Wasti, a retired biology professor whom she lost the day after Christmas last year to COVID-19 and is having a hard time coping with his death. “This has been the first time I’ve lost someone so dear to me, so I never had a map for grief nor really understood the magnitude.” both real and potentially debilitating, said Skritskaya, a research scientist and clinical psychologist with the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University in New York. She noted that it can be treated with therapy in which participants talk through their experience and feelings. “The core of it is kind of helping people face the reality of what happened,” she said. “It’s not an easy treatment. It’s intense.” Jerri Vance said therapy has helped her deal with grief since her husband, James Vance, a retired police officer in Bluefield, West Virginia, died of COVID-19 on New Year’s Day, but she worries about their two young daughters. “Seeing my kids’ grief adds to my pain,” she said. “One of my kids isn’t making much progress in therapy because her daddy was her person. She is still mad at the world.” A study published in the fall predicted a likely increase in cases of prolonged grief linked to the pandemic. Already, people who lost loved ones to COVID-19 are filling social media pages with stories of tears and sadness that just won’t go away. Many cite the loss of typical end-of-life rituals for their continual grieving; some struggle because of the unexpectedness and seeming unfairness of the coronavirus. The politicization of the pandemic is a thorn for many who constantly see and hear some argue against what health experts say are life-saving practices including vaccinations, mask wearing and social distancing. “In my office I listen all day to unsolicited opinions and try not to engage, as it is unprofessional,” said Betsy Utnick, whose father, Sheldon Polan of Selden, New York, died in April 2020. She said she still cries every day because the grief has yet to subside. Noreen Wasti knows the feeling. She lost her father to the illness caused by the coronavirus on Dec. 27 and is having a hard time going on. Wasti, who writes and creates online content in New York, said she’s unsure what it will take to get over the loss of Salman Wasti, 76, a retired biology professor from Glocester, Rhode Island. “This has been the first time I’ve lost someone so dear to me, so I never had a map for grief nor really understood the magnitude. I always thought you’re sad for a few months and then you’re OK. I was so wrong,” she said. “It hits in waves and those waves feel as severe as the day we lost him.” With so many people hurting and little personal interaction for months because of pandemic health restrictions, social media has become the place where many connect to share stories of loved ones and loss. One private Facebook page dealing with COVID-19 losses has more than 10,000 members, and continuing grief is a constant thread of discussion. Rabia Khan has found solace online since the death on Thanksgiving Day of her father, Paki- stani activist Muhammad Hameedullah Khan of Chicago. In survivor and family groups, she said, the grieving don’t face insensitive questions about how a loved one contracted the virus or why someone wasn’t careful enough to avoid it. Aside from sharing stories online of her late boyfriend Ben Schaeffer, a New York subway conductor and historian, Lisa Smid has tried to redirect her anguish into something positive. She sponsored an online lecture at the New York Transit Museum and plans to honor his legacy by endowing more memorial lectures. “I like being able to have an event to look forward to at which I’ll have an acceptable outlet for my grief as I move forward with my own life,” she said. Ann Haas of St. Paul, Minnesota, is still trying to find some sort of outlet as she mourns, but work keeps bringing her back to the worst day of her life. Haas lost her father, Raymond Haas, to COVID-19 on Nov. 11 and works in the laundry at the same Veterans Affairs hospital where he spent his final days. Haas said memories keep flooding back each time she folds a tan blanket like the one that covered him while he was fighting to live. “’I wish other people could see what this does to people. I hear people saying, ‘This isn’t real, it’s nothing,’” Haas said between sobs. “I’ve got nothing left. I don’t know if it’s going to take them losing someone to understand.” US left Afghan airfield at night, didn’t tell new commander By Kathy Gannon Associated Press Rahmat Gul | AP Gen. Mir Asadullah Kohistani, the new commander of Bagram Airfield speaks Monday during an interview with the Associated Press, after the American military departed, in Parwan province north of Kabul, Afghanistan. The U.S. left Bagram Airfield after nearly 20 years, winding up its “forever war,” in the night, without notifying the new commander until more than two hours after they slipped away. Afghan soldiers who inherited the abandoned airfield, instead referring to a statement last week. The statement said the handover of the many bases had been in the process soon after President Joe Biden’s mid-April announcement that America was withdrawing the last of its forces. Leggett said in the statement that they had coordinated their departures with Afghanistan’s leaders. Before the Afghan army could take control of the airfield about an hour’s drive from the Afghan capital Kabul, it was invaded by a small army of looters, who ransacked barrack after barrack and rummaged through giant storage tents before being evict- ed, according to Afghan military officials. “At first we thought maybe they were Taliban,” said Abdul Raouf, a soldier of 10 years. He said the the U.S. called from the Kabul airport and said “we are here at the airport in Kabul.” Kohistani insisted the Afghan National Security and Defense Force could hold on to the heavily fortified base despite a string of Taliban wins on the battlefield. The airfield also includes a prison with about 5,000 prisoners, many of them allegedly Taliban. The Taliban’s latest surge comes as the last U.S. and NATO forces pull out of the country. As of last week, most NATO soldiers had already quietly left.

Afghanistan’s army showed off the sprawling air base Monday, providing a rare first glimpse of what had been the epicenter of America’s war to unseat the Taliban and hunt down the al-Qaida perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks on America. The U.S. announced Friday it had completely vacated its biggest airfield in the country in advance of a final withdrawal the Pentagon says will be completed by the end of August. “We (heard) some rumor that the Americans had left Bagram ... and finally by seven o’clock in the morning, we understood that it was confirmed that they had already left Bagram,” Gen.

The call was one of three released Tuesday in connection with Kivlenieks’ death, which police are investigating as an accident. Another female caller said: “Hey, we have someone who was hit by a fireworks. Can you come here immediately? He’s breathing. We have a nurse here. He’s breathing, but he’s not doing very good.” Kivlenieks, 24 of Latvia, was struck about 10 p.m. Sunday at a home in Novi, about 28 miles northwest of Detroit. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. A large group of people was gathered at the home, about 28 miles northwest of Detroit, and “the fireworks had not been going on for very long” when Kivlenieks was struck, Lt.

Kivlenieks was in a hot tub and tried to get clear with several other people when he was struck. The nine-shot firework being used was legal in Michigan and the person operating it at the time Kivlenieks was struck was in compliance with state laws, Meier said. “We understand he was training with the homeowner for the summer and was staying there,” said Meier, who declined to release the name of the homeowner or identify the person operating the fireworks. “When we’re done, we’ll review with the prosecutor’s office to cover all the bases,” he added. Fireworks-related death and injuries are on a rise, according to a report released in June by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. It found 15,600 people were treated in hospital emergency departments for fireworks-related injuries in 2020 compared to about 10,000 in 2019. In it’s 2020 Fireworks Annual Report, the agency said its staff received reports of 18 nonoccupational deaths last year in the United States. Of that number, 12 involved the misuse of fireworks. Consumer Product Safety Commission staff also has reports of 136 fireworks-related deaths between 2005-2020. In Michigan, consumer fireworks must meet CPSC standards. Licensed facilities only can sell fireworks to people 18 and older. Low impact fireworks like sparklers, toy snakes, snaps, and poppers are also legal for sale and use. State law stipulates that consumer-grade fireworks only can be ignited from personal property. It’s also illegal to discharge fireworks when intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.

But we weren’t set up to win the Indy 500 from a lot of different angles. “I think we were ready operationally, but then it actually happens and it’s like, ‘Oh, (shoot).’ But listen, it’s the greatest problem to have.” Meanwhile, his IMSA team is in its first season back at the top DPi class competing for overall victories and the championship. Shank is in his first year as a factorybacked Acura team and acknowledged “there’s a lot of pressure on that program.” Regulations are being changed so that IMSA teams in 2023 will be eligible to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and Shank is positioning himself to be among the first wave of invitees. “Our plan is to go to Le Mans as soon as possible,” Shank said. “It’s really expensive, it costs way more than to run Indy. Like nitrogen, we’ll spend $20,000 on nitrogen for the month. The garage, the cost to rent the walls, all the basics to support a team, it is just really expensive and that is planning we’ve got to be doing now.” He’s set a goal to have all the IndyCar pieces completed by next month when the series resumes, which gives Shank very little time to play out on Buckeye Lake. Andretti changes Michael Andretti said at the start of the year Ryan Hunter-Reay understood that performance needed to improve for the former IndyCar champion and Indianapolis 500 winner to return to the team in 2022. Now the team owner has publicly said he expects a driver lineup overhaul for next year — a statement that has kicked IndyCar’s “silly season” into high gear. Andretti already this season dropped from five full-time cars to four, and only Colton Herta and Alexander Rossi are under contract. Herta in May signed a two-year extension through 2023. Hunter-Reay is at the end of his contract and James Hinchcliffe said he’s in a one-year deal. “My contract’s up. I know Colton and Alex are not. You have to read into that what you will,” Hinchcliffe said. “But there’s been no discussion really about ‘22 onwards, yet.” Andretti has a full stable of prospects with his robust Indy Lights program, which includes Kyle Kirkwood. His sweep at Mid-Ohio was his fifth win in six races, he has a Lights-best six victories, and is the current points leader. �SPORTS Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, July 7, 2021 9 Suarez, Castellanos lift Reds over Royals 6-2 Honorees By Avery Osen From page 8 Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Eugenio Suarez clubbed a tiebreaking three-run home run shortly after Nick Castellanos hit a tying solo shot and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Kansas City Royals 6-2 on Monday night. Suarez hit a 1-1 pitch off the Royals Hall of Fame in left field to give his team a three-run lead in the seventh inning. The homer was his 17th of the season and came off Kyle Zimmer against his first batter of the game. “It’s never comfortable being down late, but there is growing confidence we can come back in games,” Reds manager David Bell said. “That was a big blow, but Castellanos’ homer was big, too.” Vladimir Gutierrez (4-3) went six innings and gave up two runs, five hits and two walks with six strikeouts. “I felt really good out there Charlie Riedel | AP Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Vladimir Gutierrez throws during the first inning against the Kansas City Royals Monday in Kansas City, Mo. and throughout the week have felt good,” Gutierrez said. “I’ve been looking at what went wrong in the last start and just focus on getting better.” Mike Minor (6-7) pitched well until the seventh inning when Castellanos turned on the first pitch he saw and drove it over the left-center field fence to tie it at two. It was also Castellanos’ 17th homer. “That’s probably the best start we’ve had all season,” Royals manager Mike Matheny said. “It was leading to be a special start, but some came out of nowhere.” Minor pitched six innings, allowing three hits, three walks and four earned runs with six strikeouts. The Reds added a run in the ninth after Aristides Aquino’s triple and an RBI single by Tyler Naquin. Kansas City’s Jorge Soler hit an RBI double to break a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning. It was his first RBI in 18 games. In the second inning, the Reds got on the board first after a double by Tyler Stephenson and a single by Joey Votto. Suarez then grounded into a double play that scored a run. Nicky Lopez doubled and scored after Carlos Santana’s RBI double in the third inning to tie it at 1.

(AP) — The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Elsa is strengthening and could became a hurricane before making landfall along Florida’s northern Gulf coast. The storm has already complicated the search for survivors in the collapse of a Miami-area condominium 12 days ago. In addition to damaging winds and heavy rains, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center warned of life-threatening storm surges, flooding and isolated tornadoes. A hurricane warning has been issued for a long stretch of coastline, from Egmont Key at the mouth of Tampa Bay to the Steinhatchee River in Florida’s Big Bend area. The Tampa area is highly vulnerable to storm surge because the offshore waters and Tampa Bay are quite shallow, experts say. But on the barrier island beach towns along the Gulf Coast, it was largely business as usual with few shutters or plywood boards going up. Free sandbags were being handed out at several locations, and a limited number of storm shelters opened Tuesday morning in at least four counties around Tampa Bay. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
