Big win for $1 trillion US infrastructure bill By Lisa Mascaro AP Congressional Correspondent WASHINGTON — With a robust vote after weeks of fits and starts, the Senate approved a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan on Tuesday, a rare coalition of Democrats and Republicans joining to overcome skeptics and deliver a cornerstone of President Joe Biden’s agenda. The 69-30 tally provides momentum for this first phase of Biden’s “Build Back Better” priorities, now headed to the House. A sizable number of lawmakers showed they were willing to set aside partisan pressures, eager to send billions to their states for rebuilding roads, broadband internet, water pipes and the public works systems that underpin much of American life. Infrastructure was once a mainstay of lawmaking, but the weeks-long slog to strike a compromise showed how hard it has become for Congress to tackle routine legislating, even on shared priorities. Some Republicans were celebrating along with the Democrats. “What we are doing here today also demonstrates to the American people that we can get our act together on a bipartisan basis to get something done,” said Sen.

It calls for a $15 minimum wage and, like Cranley’s, investments in renewable energy. She also proposes directing state money and assistance to those businesses that pay a fair wage and kickstarting a ReInvent Ohio initiative for entrepreneurs. Asked whether the party should be trying for a diverse field next year, Cranley, who is white, replied: “I trust the Democratic primary voters to pick the best candidate to win the general election.” He said he has been committed to diversity across city departments and within his own staff as mayor and would continue that trend as governor.

John McCain and said she was trying to follow his example to “reach bipartisan agreements that try to bring the country together.” COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Before last year, a one-credit technology course for students pursuing master’s degrees in education at the University of Washington wasn’t seen as the program’s most relevant. Then COVID-19 hit, schools plunged into remote learning, and suddenly material from that course was being infused into others. “It’s become so relevant, and it’s staying that way,” said Anne Beitlers, who directs Washington’s master’s program for secondary education. “And nobody’s going to question that now.” Changes to standards and curricula happen slowly, but the pandemic is already leaving its fingerprints on the education of future teachers. Many U.S. educator preparation programs are incorporating more about digital tools, online instruction and mental and emotional wellness in their courses to reflect takeaways from the pandemic. While school system leaders are hoping to offer in-person instruction as widely as possible this year, experts say the emphasis on technology will have benefits regardless of the pandemic’s course. Across the country, teaching programs are giving more emphasis on how to plan and implement quality virtual learning. “I think it’s our responsibility to train our teachers to be able to do that, and if they find themselves teaching face-toface, nobody’s hurt by additional information about teaching online,” said Jennifer Krawec, the University of Miami’s director of teacher preparation programs. The education school at Drafted during the COVID-19 crisis, the bill would provide $65 billion for broadband, a provision Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, negotiated because she said the coronavirus pandemic showed that such service “is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity.” States will receive money to expand broadband and make it more affordable. Despite the momentum, action slowed last weekend when Sen. Bill Hagerty, a Tennessee Republican allied with Trump, refused to speed up the process. Trump had called his one-time Japan ambassador and cheered him on, but it’s unclear if the former president’s views still carry as much sway with most senators. Trump issued fresh complaints hours before Tuesday’s vote. He had tried and failed to pass Iowa’s Drake University has introduced a course about best practices in online instruction. Others say they’ve accelerated or amplified how they integrate digital tools, videoconferencing and educational technology into their classes and how they prepare future educators to do the same. Officials at Columbia University’s Teachers College say its students will continue to get practice in skills that became increasingly important during the pandemic, such as designing digital curricula or engaging kids in virtual or hybrid learning. Southern Methodist University plans to ensure graduates from its education school now get training about using Google Classroom and evaluating educational technology. Instructors at New York University have become more intentional about explaining how and why they choose to use certain digital tools. Changes are happening not only in what aspiring educators learn, but how. Consider how colleges adapted when school closures blocked observation and teaching opportunities in K-12 classrooms. Some programs instead had their students analyze videos of top teachers in action, and say they plan to keep using those videos in addition to future classroom visits. Some colleges placed their students in virtual classrooms or had them do online tutoring, and say they may continue to explore those options. Some prep programs also adopted or expanded use of his own infrastructure bill during his time in the White House. Other Republican senators objected to the size, scope and financing of the package, particularly concerned after the Congressional Budget Office said it would add $256 billion to deficits over the decade. Rather than pressure his colleagues, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky stayed behind the scenes for much of the bipartisan work. He allowed the voting to proceed, and may benefit from enabling this package in a stroke of bipartisanship while trying to stop Biden’s next big effort. He voted for passage on Tuesday. Unlike the $3.5 trillion second package, which would be paid for by higher tax rates for corporations and the wealthy, the bipartisan package is to be funded See PANDEMIC | 8 by repurposing other money, including some COVID-19 aid. The bill’s backers argue that the budget office’s analysis was unable to take into account certain revenue streams that will help offset its costs — including from future economic growth. Senators have spent the past week processing nearly two dozen amendments, but none substantially changed its framework. The House is expected to consider both Biden infrastructure packages together, but centrist lawmakers urged Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring the bipartisan plan forward quickly, and they raised concerns about the bigger bill in a sign of the complicated politics still ahead. After the Senate vote, she declared, “Today is a day of progress … a once in a century opportunity.” Join the Pomeroy Merchants Association Teacher Appreciation Day THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 2021 REPORTER It’s our way of saying, “Thank you for all you do!” ✔ Are you passionate about high school sports s merchant g in t a ip ic Part oviding will be pr hments, refres specials, prizes and door ! until 8pm in Meigs, Mason and Gallia counties? ✔ Do you have a love of writing and/or background in Journalism, English, Communications or Public Relations?

Aaron Doster | AP Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Mixon, a second-round draft pick in 2017, piled up more than 1,100 yards rushing in both 2018 and 2019 even as the Bengals and their offensive line flailed. He has high hopes for the upcoming season. Mixon wants lead role again with Bengals Browns star Garrett out with hamstring injury, Walker back BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett is dealing with a hamstring injury and could miss some time. Coach Kevin Stefanski didn’t provide any specifics on Garrett’s injury, but said he’ll be held out of Tuesday’s practice and is day-today going forward. The Browns play their exhibition opener on Saturday in Jacksonville. Stefanski would not say if Garrett will be able to go, adding “we’ll talk about who’s playing, that plan, later in the week.” The 25-year-old Garrett missed two games last season after contracting the COVID-19 virus. He struggled with his breathing after returning, and finished with 12 sacks in 14 games. However, Garrett only had three sacks in his last seven games. To this point, Garrett had been having a strong training camp, and the Browns are excited about pairing him up front with Jadeveon Clowney, who signed a one-year, freeagent contract with Cleveland.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ the five get to be, is still a work in progress. top running back has But there is the potenrebounded from a foot tial for explosiveness, and injury that sidelined him Mixon sees himself being for the final 10 games of the 2020 season.

And Mixon is so enthu- home-run guys,” he said. “Everybody got to siastic about the team’s potential that he’s floating touch the ball but at the same time, I know I’m a nickname for himself going to put the load on and the other featured offensive players, includ- my back and take the initiative of carrying the ing quarterback Joe Burteam.

Burrow is still struggling over Jacksonville on Oct. 4 — before going down to get his bearings after with the right foot injury major knee surgery last AP Sports Writer two weeks later in Indianapolis. He tried to make it back, but with the Bengals securely stowed in the AFC North basement, coaches told him to shut it down and focus on getting ready for 2021. “Last year was definitely tough,” Mixon said. “It sucked because I couldn’t be there for my team. They needed me, I needed them. I was definitely in a bad state.” Mixon, a two-down back through his fouryear career with the Bengals, is also about to get more responsibility. Cincinnati released reliable third-down back Giovani Bernard, so coaches will expect Mixon to be in the game on third down to catch passes or provide protection for Burrow, who was beaten up and finally injured seriously by pass rushers the Bengals couldn’t seem to stop last season. “Joe (Mixon) has a really unique ability because he’s so big and fast and strong,” offensive coordinator Brian Callahan said. “He also catches the ball well, so there’s a place for him in the pass game,” Callahan said. “The third part of playing running back besides running and catching is protection. They’re a huge part of protection on third down. Joe has grown and improved in that area, really through his career. It’ll be asked of him a bunch this year to be able to do that.” Mixon couldn’t be happier with the return of Frank Pollack as the offensive line coach/rungame coordinator. Pollack was the O-line coach in 2018 when Mixon led the AFC in rushing with 1,168 yards. He likes the greater variety of run plays that Pollack has brought to camp. Mixon said he wants to be a leader and is ready to do what the Bengals ask of him. He also wants to do his part to make sure the Fabulous Five tag catches on. “I feel great, man, and I’m just ready to roll,” he said. Mixon is expected to see limited playing time in Cincinnati’s exhibition opener Saturday at Tampa Bay. Burrow is expected to be held out. �6 Wednesday, August 11, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Better Health Starts With Us.

Sicknick later collapsed and died. Khater, who remains behind bars, has pleaded not guilty to assault charges. Neither he nor Tanios have been charged in Sicknick’s death. A Washington medical examiner in April determined that Sicknick suffered a stroke and died from natural causes. Capitol Police accepted the medical examiner’s findings but said the ruling didn’t change the fact that Sicknick had died in the line of duty, “courageously defending Congress and the Capitol.” TODAY IN HISTORY ALMANAC High Low Normal high Normal low Record high Record low Tanios must remain behind bars while awaiting trial on numerous charges, including assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon. U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan found that Tanios was a threat to the community. The judge said the assault with chemical spray on Sicknick and two other officers contributed to the mob’s ability to breach a police line guarding the Capitol. An attorney for Tanios — who operated a greasy spoon called Sandwich U in Morgantown, home of West Virginia University — had argued that there was no advance planning and that her client had bought the chemical sprays only for self-protection in the event of violence against Trump supporters. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia man charged in the assault of Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after defending the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, can be released on bond while he awaits trial, a federal appeals court ruled. The district court erred in assessing the danger posed by George Tanios, according to the appellate ruling issued Monday. “The record reflects that Tanios has no past felony convictions, no ties to any extremist organizations, and no post-January 6 criminal behavior that would otherwise show him to pose a danger to the community within the meaning of the Bail Reform Act,” the ruling said. The district court in May ruled that computer-simulated classrooms for training prospective teachers, said Lynn Gangone, the president of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. “It allows for the mentor teacher to be there observing, and it doesn’t bring harm to any kids,” Gangone said. Students at Vanderbilt, Florida and Ball State started using software that allows them to record the lessons they were presenting to kids and review or critique that video later on their own, with classmates or with supervisors. And some field supervision of teaching candidates from the University of Cincinnati likely will continue to be done virtually because that mode has proved much more flexible, according to the director of that education school. Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College is starting to offer some of its teacher-preparation programs remotely to make them more accessible to in-state residents who aren’t near campus but could still get real-world experience in classrooms in their areas. “Our experience with the good, the bad and the ugly of remote instruction has given us the confidence, and also revealed the need, to get good at being able to do what we can in teacher prep remotely,” said Paul Gediman, the college’s executive director of marketing and advancement. At North Carolina State University’s College of Education, instructors are trying to integrate remote learning strategies and tools that can still be used in faceto-face teaching, such as the interactive whiteboard Jamboard or the student engagement platform Seesaw, said Erin Horne, an assistant dean. Horne said they’ve also been dedicating more class time to social-emotional learning and trauma-informed care. Those topics are getting heightened attention elsewhere, too. Officials at Penn State University said more discussions about mental and emotional health have been integrated into their seminars for teacher candidates as well as methods courses. Washington University in St. Louis has started asking its teacher candidates to draft specific plans for how they can practice self-care and dodge burnout while teaching, according to its director of teacher education. American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten said she thinks teacher prep programs will continue to move toward preparing educators more with digital tools, social-emotional tools and trauma-based instruction. She noted that the union started a new professional development course in trauma-informed instruction, and it’s in high demand. Phillip Rogers, who leads the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification, said he believes skills in virtual instruction will eventually become a more regular part of teacher training, but there’s not yet much movement among states to require that in teacher prep programs.

The decision came a week after New for office again. Associated Press “This resignation is simply an attempt to avoid real accountability,” state GOP chair Nick Langworthy said. Cuomo prefaced his resignation with a 45-minute defense from his lawyer and his own insistence that his behavior — while sometimes insensitive, off-putting or “too familiar” — had been used against him as a weapon in a political environment where “rashness has replaced reasonableness.” “I am a fighter, and my instinct is to fight through this controversy because I truly believe it is politically motivated. I believe it is unfair and it is untruthful,” he said, but added that he didn’t want “distractions” to consume the state government as it grapples with the pandemic and other problems. Cuomo still faces the possibility of criminal charges, with a number of prosecutors around the state continuing to investigate him. At least one of his accusers has filed a criminal complaint. At the White House, Biden said: “I respect the governor’s decision.” At the same time, he said Cuomo had “done a helluva job” on infrastructure and voting rights, and “that’s why it’s so sad.” The string of accusations began in news reports last December and went on for months. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
