Story Walk opens in Racine Rotary, Library sponsor project By Sarah Hawley shawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE — A story and a walk. A new Story Walk opened on Monday at the Racine Library, a project of the Meigs County Library and the Middleport Pomeroy Rotary Club. The walk is around the Racine Library in the lawn. The idea of a story walk is to have a book displayed on stands along the walk, with each display board holding a page of the book. As the person reads the book, they walk from one board to the next, completing the story along the way. Currently, the book on the walk is “Nothing Can Frighten a Bear” by Elizabeth Dale, illustrated by Paula Metcalf. Kristi Eblin, Director of the Meigs County Library, said that the story walk is something that the library has wanted to do for some time and that the partnership with the Rotary Club allowed that to happen. Eblin added that the story on display will change with the seasons allowing readers to have a different story throughout the year. Nothing Can Frighten a Bear is the story currently on the walk. Rotary members are joined by Jeremy Rose and John Holman at the opening of the Story Walk. Rose and Holman assisted with installation of the walk. Emily”, took the children Children run to the next board on the story walk. Rotary representative Tina Rees thanked all those who helped on the project, including John Holman and Jeremy Rose. Rees explained that the story walk, and others like it in the county, is something that the AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

MARY SUE (DURST) BRAUER RACINE — We regretfully announce the passing of Mary Sue (Durst) Brauer, 62, of Racine on July 8, 2021. After a brief battle with cancer, she succumbed to a complication from treatment. Our mother, Mary Sue, was one of the strongest, kindest women to ever walk this earth and our family was blessed to have her as the head of the family. Mary Sue graduated from Meigs High School in 1977, she obtained her bachelor’s degree from Rio Grande in 1981. During college, she was a member of the Alpha Mu Beta sorority. After graduating, she went on to pursue a career in teaching with Meigs Local School District. Mary Sue later went back to compete her master’s degree at the University of Rio Grande. Mary Sue loved her students and especially enjoyed her years at Middleport Elementary. Mary Sue taught with Meigs Local for 30 years. After retirement, she focused on her love of gardening, canning, and her greatest treasure, being a grandma. Mary Sue was a wonderful and loving mother to her three children and gave her all to her family. We will never be able to ﬁll the space left behind by her. Mary Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Willard Sr. and Mary Lou Durst; a brother, Willard “Bub” Durst Jr.; brother-in-law, David Brickles; and son-in-law, Derek Warden. She is survived by her children Sarah Warden, Susan (Sean) Oney, and John Brauer; siblings, Willis (Sharon) Durst, Edith Brickles, “Jan” Durst; several nieces and nephews; and her very special grandchildren, Sydney and Marley Warden.

Staff at nursing homes will be suspended starting Aug. 16 if they fail to book a vaccination appointment, with a similar policy to follow in September for workers at state-run and private hospitals. Starting Friday, and until the end of August, all indoor commercial areas, including bars, cinemas, and theaters, will only be available for the vaccinated. “After a year and a half, no one can claim ignorance about the coronavirus anymore,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a televised address. “The country will shut down again due to attitude adopted by certain people … It’s not Greece that’s a danger, but unvaccinated Greeks.” The new restrictions will apply nationwide, including the Greek islands and other key tourism destinations. COVID-19 infections in Greece have surged since late June, with authorities blaming carelessness at bars and restaurants as well as the spread of the highly infectious delta variant. The number of daily infections per 100,000 residents over seven days rose from 3.5 on June 24 to above 17 now. AUCTION SATURDAY, JULY 17, 2021 @ 10:00 A.M.

Rodney Davis, an Illinois Republican who sits on a committee that conducted the ﬁeld hearings. Pressure has built for months on congressional Democrats to counteract a concerted state-level Republican push to enact new voting restrictions, inspired by President Donald Trump’s false claims of a stolen 2020 election. But there is a new sense of urgency among many in the party’s activist base following the Supreme Court ruling in the case of Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, which upheld two restrictive Arizona laws and will limit the ability to challenge voting restrictions in court. “We cannot wait until October or November,” said Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who chairs the Congressional Black Caucus. While the speciﬁcs of the legislation have not yet been released, it would develop a new formula for determining which states and local governments would be subject to a review process known as “preclearance.” The court blocked the practice in 2013, reasoning that the formula used to determine which places are subjected to it was outdated and unfairly punitive. But the court also ruled that Congress could develop a new formula. Though laws and rules already in place wouldn’t be subject to a retooled Voting Rights Act, future ones would. “We want to get our work done, but it has to be data-focused and defensible within the courts,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar, a California Democrat who serves on a committee that has held many of the hearings. Yet serious questions remain about whether the Supreme Court, which has a new and expanded conservative majority, would still be receptive to a new preclearance formula. There’s also been a major shift in the Republican Party. The Voting Rights Act enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress for decades. It was reauthorized ﬁve times with commanding majorities, the most recent in 2006. But the bipartisan support eroded dramatically after the court’s ﬁrst ruling, in 2013, in the case of Shelby County, Alabama, v. Holder. “If you look at the sea change in the politics, it all stems from Shelby and the political opportunity that it offers,” Hewitt said.

Waiting any longer to lift restrictions will risk having the virus spread peak in the autumn and winter, when children return to school and hospitals are most likely to be overwhelmed by seasonal infections, Javid and Johnson said. “There will never be a perfect time to take this step, because we simply cannot eradicate this virus — whether we like it or not, coronavirus is not going away,” Javid said. Many of the infections have occurred among younger people who have yet to receive a ﬁrst dose of vaccine. The government has no plans yet to offer vaccines to children under 18. The British government believes that the vaccine rollout has mostly severed the link between infections and those needing hospitalization. The numbers of people requiring hospitalization or dying from COVID19 have stayed low and broadly stable, though they have been edging up in recent days. Still, concerns over the rapid increase in cases has piled pressure on the government to take a more cautious approach over lifting restrictions. Jonathan Ashworth, the health spokesperson for the opposition Labour Party, said Javid’s plan was akin to “pushing his foot down on the accelerator while throwing the seat belts off.” And Stephen Grifﬁn, associate professor at Leeds University’s school of medicine, called the move an irresponsible gamble. “I am dumbfounded by the notion that public health can be left to individual choice when, in the case of infectious disease it is, in fact, the epitome of collective responsibility,” Grifﬁn said. “Government messaging on restrictions currently amounts to an outright oxymoron by urging caution whilst simultaneously allowing all guidance to be lifted.” The British government, which enforced one of the longest lockdowns in the world, has lifted restrictions for England in a series of steps that began with reopening schools in March. �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, July 13, 2021 5 Having A Yard Sale?

The ﬁrst Italy team to win the European Championship in 53 years knew it was in for an exhilarating day when it arrived at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport at dawn from London to be welcomed by a banner on the tarmac reading, “Grazie Azzurri.” To rousing cheers from airport workers, captain Giorgio Chiellini pumped his ﬁst in the air, and coach Roberto Mancini hoisted the trophy high over their heads. There was even a cheer for defender Leonardo Spinazzola, as he hopped down the steps on one foot, his other in a cast from an Achilles tendon injury. Italian President Sergio Mattarella was at Wembley Stadium on Sunday night cheering with Azzurri fans as Italy won the Euro 2020 ﬁnal following a 3-2 penalty shootout win over England. Then Mattarella raced back to Rome to be at the Quirinal presidential palace to greet the team. “I’m not a (soccer) commentator,” the president said, “but I thought you deserved the victory well beyond whatever happened during the penalty shootout.” Coach Mancini replied, “Let me thank you for being our No. 1 fan. We saw you exult, that gave us much pleasure.” In another compliment, Mattarella said, “You displayed a harmony of team among yourselves and in play, and now this is an extraordinary value, the sense of sport.” “This,” captain Chiellini said, “is the success of a group, who even in difﬁcult moments never lost heart.” Mattarella also generously praised another of his palace guests, tennis player Matteo Berrettini, who reached the Wimbledon ﬁnal before succumbing on Sunday to Novak Djokovic. The tennis star, in thanks, gave Mattarella a racket, and later squeezed aboard the open-topped bus among the soccer players, who whooped and cheered themselves in response to the public’s adulation. As the bus inched its way toward central Piazza Venezia, and eventually to the team’s hotel, the players, each wearing the victory medal they received less than 24 hours before at Wembley, snapped photos of the celebrating fans and encouraged them with cheers through a bullhorn. There was enough joy to go around to even reach the 10th-ﬂoor hospital suite of Pope Francis, who, even before the Italian victory, could savor the triumph of the team from his native Argentina, which won the Copa America on Saturday. “In sharing the joy for the victory of the Argentine national and of the Italian national squads See ITALY | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Tuesday, July 13 Baseball Jackson Post 81 at Meigs Post 39, 6 p.m. Thursday, July 15 Baseball Meigs Post 39 at Glouster Post 414, 6 p.m. Aaron Gash | AP Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) dunks during the first half of Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in Milwaukee.

And good numbers. But the 6-foot-11, 250- he created open shooting space for Jrue Holiday pound Antetokounmpo AP Basketball Writer and Khris Middleton to get some clean looks after both struggled in Game 2. Antetokounmpo largely kept that game from turning into a blowout by himself. With his teammates supporting him better in Milwaukee, it was the Bucks who won big. “When guys make shots, it just makes it tough on the opposing team because now he’s really just playing 1-on-1, and good luck with that,” teammate Bobby Portis said. The Suns don’t have a lot of size outside of Ayton, but sometimes Antetokounmpo helps his opponents by settling for jumpers that remain a weaker part of his portfolio. From his very ﬁrst basket of Game 3, when he jumped over a defender to grab a rebound that he put back while being fouled, he made it clear he was going to keep going to the rim. When the Suns stopped him by fouling, he made them pay by making 13 of 17. “He’s physical. When he gets downhill, gets to the basket, gets to the free throw line, it encourages him to keep going. And he was hitting his free throws ... and that just kind of opens up his whole game,” Suns reserve Cam Johnson said. “So it’s on us to stop him, give him more resistance.” Nobody knew what Antetokounmpo could still do when he went down in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference ﬁnals against Atlanta with a hyperextended left knee. Even if he could come back — and it wasn’t clear he would until shortly before tipoff of the ﬁnals opener — it was hard to imagine he could deliver the type of historic performances he has. “I don’t even now how he’s even doing it, man,” Portis said. “Most of the time when guys do that, they come back and ease into it, or they come back and they’re kind of timid and whatnot. He’s still just going out there and playing the same way like he never did that.” Antetokounmpo wasn’t sure he could when his knee swelled to double its size just two weeks ago. But he was able to make it back for the Bucks’ ﬁrst NBA Finals since 1974 and he’s determined to enjoy it. “I want my teammates to enjoy the game and I know that by enjoying the game, I’m going to compete as hard as possible,” Antetokounmpo said. “And I’m going to do the right thing to help my team be in the right position and have the opportunity to win any game we play,” �SPORTS/WEATHER Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, July 13, 2021 7 Pirates draft Louisville C Davis at No. 1, Leiter to Texas By Jake Seiner and “kind of weepy” hearing his son’s name called. “It’s really hard to put into words,” Jack Leiter said. “I’m just so happy I was able to have my family and friends and people that care about me all here to celebrate with.” This was Texas’ ﬁrst pick under ﬁrst-year general manager Chris Young, a longtime big league pitcher who came to the organization determined to help the farm system better develop pitching. Leiter was at the top of the Rangers’ board. “Jack is someone we’ve zeroed in for a while,” Young said. “He ﬁts everything we’re trying to accomplish as an organization.” Leiter’s Vanderbilt teammate, right-hander Kumar Rocker, was taken 10th overall by the New York Mets. Rocker was once considered a candidate to go ﬁrst overall but slid down draft boards following an inconsistent spring. After MLB slimmed the draft from 40 rounds to ﬁve last year in response to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s event will go 20 rounds spread over three days. The draft opened Sunday night with the ﬁrst 36 selections. Fans were allowed to watch the event in person for the ﬁrst time, and a smattering of onlookers booed loudly each time Manfred took the stage. Previous drafts were held at MLB Network’s studio in Secaucus, New Jersey, which only had room for media and small groups of friends and family. Fans stood and cheered when Davis’ name was announced. He hugged friends and family before making his way to the stage, where he was handed a Pirates hat and jersey and shook hands with Manfred. The Pirates picked ﬁrst overall for the ﬁrst time since taking Gerrit Cole in 2011, by far the most successful of their four previous No. 1 selections. Their other top picks were inﬁelder Jeff King (1986) and right-handers Kris Benson (1996) and Bryan Bullington (2002). Toronto second baseman Marcus Semien, Kansas City catcher Salvador Pérez, Blue Jays left ﬁelder Teoscar Hernández and Baltimore center ﬁelder Cedric Mullins. NL manager Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers has San Diego shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. leading off, followed by the Dodgers’ Max Muncy at designated hitter, St. Louis third baseman Nolan Arenado, Atlanta ﬁrst baseman Freddie Freeman, Cincinnati right ﬁelder Nick Castellanos, Reds left ﬁelder Jesse Winker, Philadelphia catcher J.T. Realmuto and Pittsburgh second baseman Adam Frazier. Traded by Colorado during the offseason, Arenado is likely to remain a fan favorite at Coors Field. Scherzer will make his fourth All-Star start, matching Jim Palmer and Randy Johnson for second-most behind ﬁve each by Robin Roberts, Lefty Gomez and Don Drysdale. Scherzer started the 2013 All-Star Game for the AL while with Detroit, and the 2017 and 2018 All-Star Games while with Washington. An eight-time All-Star and three-time Cy Young Award winner, he is 7-4 with a 2.66 ERA this season with 134 strikeouts and 22 walks in 98 innings. The All-Star Game returns this year after the cancellation of the 2020 event at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles due to the coronavirus pandemic, which delayed opening day until July 23. This year’s game was scheduled for Atlanta’s Truist Park, but baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred Manfred announced April 2 that the event would be moved because of Georgia’s new election law, which critics say will negatively affect communities of color. Four days later, Manfred said this year’s game would be played at Coors Field, which held its only previous All-Star Game in 1998. Because of last year’s cancellation, Dodger Stadium will host the AllStars in 2022. difﬁcult moments.” In between the formal celebrations, some Italy players made a quick stop at a military hospital to receive a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, state TV said. For Italians, the championship was a new beginning for their youthful national team and a country that’s been yearning to return to normality after being the ﬁrst nation outside of Asia to be slammed by the COVID-19 pandemic. A cacophony of honking cars, ﬁreworks, and singing fans ﬁlled Rome on Sunday night as thousands of people took to the streets following the ﬁnal. As the sun rose on Monday, the noise had died down but not the sentiment. “It seems to me that this victory is so good for the national spirit after all that suffering for COVID,” said Daniela Righino, an Italian living in Uruguay who was back in Rome for the ﬁnal. “Yesterday was an explosion of joy. I’m happy.” Many Italians saw Euro 2020 uniting the country to relaunch after spending most of the past 16 months in pandemic lockdown. Italy has recorded more than 127,000 known COVID19 deaths, the highest in the 27-nation European Union. “It’s been a complicated year for everyone but especially for us who were one of the ﬁrst countries hit. This is a signal of a new beginning,” said Michela Solfanelli, a 30-year-old event producer based in Milan. Most virus restrictions have been lifted since the spring and those that remain were largely ignored by the mass of fans who danced overnight in the streets of the capital chanting, “We are champions of Europe.” Major League Baseball moved the draft from its longstanding June slot The Pittsburgh Pirates to July’s All-Star festiviopened the amateur draft ties in an effort to better with a Louisville slugger. showcase its future stars.

The big Wall Street banks report their results starting Tuesday starting with JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. Also reporting this week will be Bank of America, Citigroup and Wells Fargo.

Ultimately investors are going to need these companies to deliver this season. Stocks have risen sharply in the past year on the backs of expectations that corporate proﬁts would rebound once the pandemic ends. Without strong proﬁts, it will be increasingly difﬁcult for investors to justify these high stock prices and record market valuations. “This needs to be more of a conﬁrmation process this earnings season,” said Scott Wren. Investors are closely watching what companies say about the future in the latest round of earnings, now that the economy is shaking off the worst impact from the pandemic and companies have a clearer view ahead. “The market has an expectation for the economy and interest rates and it’s a matter of whether company’s are going to acknowledge this or are they going to be cautious,” Wren said.

COVID outbreak reported after church retreat MIAMISBURG, Ohio (AP) — Local health ofﬁcials are reporting a COVID-19 outbreak among people who attended a church retreat in Ohio several weeks ago. Dayton and Montgomery County public health ofﬁcials said more than 800 people attended the Baptist Church retreat at Camp Chautauqua in Miamisburg from June 27 to July 3. The retreat included attendees and churches from Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. Ofﬁcials said at least 30 cases among attendees living in Ohio and Kentucky have been identiﬁed so far. Health ofﬁcials said camp and event organizers haven’t provided contact information for attendees, so authorities are asking anyone who may have attended to contact them or their local health department. The outbreak demonstrates that the COVID-19 virus is still circulating and continues to make people sick, said Dr. Michael Dohn, medical director for Dayton & Montgomery County Public Health.
