MIDDLEPORT — Middleport Mayor Fred Hoffman recently said there are still problems within the village of downspouts and gutter drains being connected into village sanitary swer lines, which causes an overflow in sanitary lines into basements and other low-lying areas. As stated in Ord. 925.07, these connections are illegal and violators can be cited to court and fined for these illegal connections, according to Hoffman. Section 925.07 of Middleport village ordinances states the following: “The connection of roof downspouts and gutter drains, either directly or indirectly into the sanitary sewerage system shall not be permitted under any circumstances. All such connections found shall be immediately disconnected and their use dicontinued.” Penalties for violation of this section could be fines of $100 per day until corrected, according to Hoffman. Violation of this ordinance must be corrected immediately to prevent excess water from entering the sanitary sewer system and overflowing into residents’ basements. All property owners are advised to inspect their property for these violations, according to Hoffman.

Sisak Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — The white gunman who killed 10 Black people in a racist attack at a Buffalo supermarket was charged Wednesday with federal hate crimes that could potentially carry a death penalty. The criminal complaint filed Wednesday against Payton Gendron coincided with a visit to Buffalo by Attorney General Merrick Garland. He met with the families of the people who were killed and placed a bouquet of white flowers at a memorial outside the Tops Friendly Market, which has been closed since the May 14 attack. “No one in this country should have to live in fear that they will go to work or shop at a grocery store and will be attacked by someone who hates them because of the color of their skin,” Garland said at a news conference. Garland, who halted federal executions last year, did not rule out seeking the death penalty M. MAXINE DYER LANGSVILLE — M.

It’s how do we prevent these horrific crimes from happening, from breaking the hearts of other families,” said another son, Raymond Whitfield. Gendron’s attorney, Brian Parker, declined to comment. a search warrant at Gendron’s home found a note in which he apologized to his family and wrote he “had to commit this attack” because he cares “for the future of the White race,” according to an affidavit filed with the criminal complaint. Three children of 86-year-old victim Ruth Whitfield said they told Garland at their private meeting that they wanted to make sure he didn’t view the Buffalo shooting “as a singular case.” Carleton College Scholarships SYRACUSE — Applications for the 2022-2023 Carleton College Scholarships for higher education are available for legal residents of the Village of Syracuse.

The National Weather Service maintained an excessive heat warning through Wednesday evening for most of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, which have been dealing with the sticky humidity and soaring temperatures since Tuesday. The heat advisory in place for the Midwest and South stretched all the way eastward to the South Carolina shoreline. Meteorologists warned that the high temperatures could be dangerous or deadly for some people and advised residents to stay hydrated, remain indoors if possible and take precautions if they must be outside. Some of the affected areas were expected to get relief by Thursday. But the hot weather moving out could bring severe thunderstorms Wednesday to Iowa, Wisconsin and points eastward, including Michigan, according to the weather service’s Storm Prediction Center. Those storms could dump large hail or spawn tornadoes or damaging straight-line winds. Utilities sorted out many of the power outages caused by storms that swept through the Midwest early in the week, but more than 200,000 customers remained without power still as of Wednesday morning, according to Ashlee Rezin | Chicago Sun-Times via AP poweroutage.us. Children play in the Crown Fountain on Michigan Avenue Tuesday afternoon in Chicago. Much of the Midwest and a swath of the South braced for a potentially dangerous and deadly heat wave on Tuesday, with temperatures that could reach record highs in some places and combine with humidity to make it feel like it’s 100 degrees or hotter in spots. Takeaways: Big Trump win, election deniers advance in Nevada By Brian Slodysko Associated Press Susan Walsh | AP President Joe Biden addresses the AFL-CIO convention Tuesday, in Philadelphia. Biden tells oil refiners: Produce more gas, fewer profits By Josh Boak and Cathy Bussewitz Associated Press President Joe Biden on Wednesday called on U.S. oil refiners to produce more gasoline and diesel, saying their profits have tripled during a time of war between Russia and Ukraine as Americans struggle with record high prices at the pump. “The crunch that families are facing deserves immediate action,” Biden wrote in a letter to seven oil refiners. “Your companies need to work with my Administration to bring forward concrete, near-term solutions that address the crisis.” Gas prices nationwide are averaging roughly $5 a gallon, an economic burden for many Americans and a political threat for the president’s fellow Democrats going into the midterm elections. Broader inflation began to rise last year as the U.S. economy recovered from the coronavirus pandemic, but it accelerated in recent months as energy and food prices climbed after Russia invaded Ukraine in February and disrupted global commodity markets. The government reported on Friday that consumer prices had jumped 8.6% from a year ago, the worst increase in more than 40 years. The letter notes that gas prices were averaging $4.25 a gallon when oil was last near the current price of $120 a barrel in March. That 75-cent difference in average gas prices in a matter of just a few months reflects both a shortage of refinery capacity and profits that “are currently at their highest levels ever recorded,” the letter states. The American Petroleum Institute, which represents the industry, said in a statement that capacity has been diminished as the Biden administration has sought to move away from fossil fuels as part of its climate change agenda. “While we appreciate the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the White House, the administration’s misguided policy agenda shifting away from domestic oil and natural gas has compounded inflationary pressures and added headwinds to companies’ daily efforts to meet growing energy needs while reducing emissions,” API CEO Mike Sommers said in a statement. Sommers added, “I reinforced in a letter to President Biden and his Cabinet yesterday ten meaningful policy actions to ultimately alleviate pain at the pump and strengthen national security, including approving critical energy infrastructure, increasing access to capital, holding energy lease sales, among other urgent priorities.” The letter is unlikely to start a chain of events that would boost supplies. Refineries have gone through unprecedented, unplanned maintenance globally in the last three months and there is an extreme shortage being felt across the globe, said Claudio Galimberti, senior vice president at Rystad Energy. China’s decision to limit its exports of oil products also contributed to the problem, he said. “U.S. refiners cannot increase capacity beyond current levels,” Galimberti said. “If they could, they would have done it already.” As Biden sees it, refineries are capitalizing on the uncertainties caused by “a time of war.” His message that corporate greed is contributing to higher prices has been controversial among many economists, yet the claim may have some resonance with voters. Some liberal lawmakers have proposed cracking down on corporate profits amid the higher inflation. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, in March proposed a 95% tax on profits in excess of companies’ pre-pandemic averages. US sending $1 billion more military aid By Lolita C.

Russian invaders. All are key weapons sysPresident Joe Biden and his top national secu- tems that Ukrainian leadrity leaders said Wednes- ers have urgently request- ed as they battle to stall Russia’s slow but steady march to conquer the eastern Donbas region. “Gen. Milley and I have been in a number of fights. And when you’re in a fight, you can never get enough,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said at a press conference in Brussels, referring to Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “I certainly understand where the Ukrainians are coming from, and we’re gonna fight hard to give them everything they need.” The HIMARS and anti-ship systems are the kinds of longer range capabilities that over time can make a difference in the fight, Milley said. He said Ukraine will have trained HIMARS crews in the fight in a few weeks. “If they use the weapon properly and it’s employed properly, they ought to be able to take out a significant amount of targets and that will make a difference,” he said. WASHINGTON — Donald Trump notched a significant victory in South Carolina, where his preferred candidate easily ousted five-term Rep. Tom Rice, the first Republican to be booted from office after voting to impeach the former president last year. But another highprofile GOP target of Trump in the state, Rep. Nancy Mace, held back a challenger. Meanwhile, in Nevada on Tuesday, two election deniers who have tirelessly promoted the former president’s lies about voter fraud won their primaries for key positions of power in the state. Takeaways from the latest round of primary elections: SPLIT DECISION IN SOUTH CAROLINA Rice and Mace have been objects of Trump’s anger ever since a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election win. Their transgressions? Mace stated on national TV that Trump’s “entire legacy was wiped out” by the attack, while Rice became an apostate for joining a small group of Republicans who voted with Democrats in favor of Trump’s second impeachment. “He threw a temper tantrum that culminated with the sacking of the United States Capitol,” Rice told NBC News on Monday. “It’s a direct attack on the Constitution, and he should be held accountable.” Voters ultimately rendered different judgments on the duo, reflecting a split within the GOP about how to move forward from the Trump era. Rice’s largely rural district is representative of Trump’s America, where crossing the former president carries a steep cost. Even as Trump railed against both lawmakers, he chose to hold a rally in Rice’s district earlier this year. That’s because Mace’s district, which centers on Charleston, is full of the type of moderate suburban voters who fled the GOP under Trump. It is one of the few districts in an overall red state where Democrats have been even moderately competitive in congressional races. The results demonstrate that the Trump factor can’t be underestimated in solidly Republican territory, a potential warning sign for other Republicans, including Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who also voted to impeach Trump and has helped lead the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack. She’s facing a competitive primary in August from a Trump-backed challenger. ELECTION DENIERS ADVANCE IN NEVADA Two Republican candidates who ardently pushed Trump’s lies about voter fraud costing him the 2020 presidential election won nominations to top offices in Nevada on Tuesday. Jim Marchant, a former state lawmaker, won the GOP nomination for secretary of state, the office that oversees elections in the perennial presidential battleground that Trump narrowly lost in both 2016 and 2020. Marchant has made appearances around the country with other Trump allies, including MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, to cast doubt on the election results, despite the fact that courts, election officials from both parties and his own attorney general have said the vote was legitimate.

Ridder is proving Smith doesn’t toss around to be a fast learner. He said compliments easily, especially to rookies. It was notable after Tuesday’s first minicamp when he handed Ridder praise practice he was surprised by AP Sports Writer John Bazemore | AP Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks Desmond Ridder (4) and Marcus Mariota (1) work during their minicamp practice Tuesday in Flowery Branch, Ga. his “overall knowledge of the offense.” Ridder’s confidence is good news for Smith, who said the rookie is “definitely doing a good job.” Ridder was only the second quarterback selected in the NFL draft. Pitt’s Kenny Pickett was picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round. Ridder led Cincinnati to last season’s College Football Playoff, throwing 30 touchdown passes. He set a school career record with 87 scoring passes. The Falcons plan to carry only three quarterbacks into training camp even though Feleipe Franks is spending time at tight end. The plan allows the Falcons to guarantee repetitions for Mariota and Ridder atop the depth chart. Class AA baseball team released By Dave Morrison For Ohio Valley Publishing CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Just a scant few hours after winning its second straight Class AA state baseball championship, Logan was back at its baseball field, celebrating with a picnic and the accompanying atmosphere — the team, family, friends and community. “We said we wanted to take them out, have a nice dinner to celebrate, and some of the parents suggested we have celebration at the baseball field and make it like a picnic,” Logan coach Kevin Gertz recalled. “So, we get back, there are about six cornhole boards in the outfield, everybody has a good time, and this goes on for a few hours. About 10 o’clock we are wrapping up and I see the weight room door open, and the light is on. And Korbin Bostic was in the weight room working out.” Understand, Bostic, an outfielder, is a senior, who has signed with Bluefield State. And to understand that is to understand Logan’s success on the diamond the last two seasons. “Last year we won the state championship on a Saturday, and we were back home the next day and my dad calls me up and says, ‘You aren’t going to believe what’s going on down here.’ It turns out he went by the school and all eight of our returning starters were working out,” Gertz said. “I’ve never had a team that works out like this team does, and they do it on their own.” Bostic and two junior teammates, pitcher Dawson Maynard and catcher Jake Ramey, were named to the Class AA all-state team released Wednesday by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. There were other sets of teammates on the first team, including Robert C. Byrd’s infielder Nathaniel Junkins and outfielder Nick George, Fairmont Senior’s outfielder Evan Dennison and utility Gunner Riley, Shady Spring’s pitcher Cam Manns and utility Josh Lovell and Independence’s catcher Atticus Goodson and infielder Michael McKinney. Bostic, Maynard, Goodson and McKinney, along with Sissonville’s Collin Cottrell are repeat firstteamers. Bostic enjoyed a banner year, hitting .407 with 10 doubles, four triples, four home runs and he drove in 39 runs. “And I think defensively he is the best outfielder in the state of West Virginia,” Gertz said. Maynard was a utility pick and he fit the bill but was named as a pitcher this year. He was 5-1 with a 0.91 earned run average and was the winning pitcher in the first game of the state tournament, outdueling Shady Spring’s Manns, a fellow firstteamer. He hit .495 with 11 doubles, five triples, six home runs and 45 RBI. “Dawson is a special player,” Gertz said. “If he were just a pitcher, I think he could go to a Division I school and help them. If he was just an infielder, I think he could go to a Division I school and start for four years. He had some arm problems, lost about 8-10 miles off his velocity and still put up those numbers.” Ramey caught all 36 games for Logan this year, a rarity these days. He hit .413 with eight doubles, a home run and 41 RBI. “He isn’t the biggest guy, and he took a beating back there, but he is tough, and it never bothered him,” Gertz said “He was our No. 3 hitter and did the job offensively as well.” Goodson and McKinney were also repeat firstteamers, but Goodson made a big jump from outfielder to catcher. His play never missed a beat. Goodson hit .462 as the Patriots’ leadoff hitter, had eight home runs, scored 41 runs, walked 13 times and was hit by pitches 19 times. His on-base percentage was .628. See BASEBALL | 10 AP file Ohio State’s Bill Willis, who went on to a stellar pro career with the Cleveland Browns, poses in Columbus on Sept. 11, 1944.

Kenny Washington and AP Sports Writer “When I first learned this, I was like, ‘How could this possibly be? How could these individuals be such all-stars within our community and we know nothing about them?’ It’s almost like it was a secret.” A phone call from Glauber a few years back prompted Johnson to get behind the project “so younger players knew who laid the foundation and where it came from,” especially in a league in which 70% of the players are Black. In 1946, Browns coach Paul Brown signed Willis and Motley, who became the first Black players in the All-America Football Conference. The same year, Washington and Strode got contracts with the Los Angeles Rams, who formerly played in Cleveland and busted the NFL’s whites-only barrier. The four men were subjected to verbal attacks, vicious hits after the whistle and even death threats. But for years, they were barely football footnotes. Glauber emphasized the point by asking any of the Browns players to raise their hands if they had heard of Willis, Motley, Washington and Strode before coming to Cleve- land. Only a few went up. He didn’t know about them, either. “I was embarrassed, honestly,” said Glauber, who writes for Newsday. “Then I realized if I don’t know this, Keyshawn doesn’t know it, this story needs to be told.” Stefanski wanted his players to hear it as well. After boarding five charter buses in Berea, the team’s players, coaches and support staff made the one-hour drive, which became a journey back through the team’s glory years. On the way, players watched a documentary on legendary running back Jim Brown, one of 22 Cleveland players immortalized in the hall. All-Pro left guard Joel Bitonio admitted not knowing much about the Browns’ history before he was drafted in 2014. “You kind of look back and it was like before the Super Bowl era,” Bitonio said. “I mean 17 Hall of Famers, multiple championships, some of the best players to ever play the game, innovators, some of the best coaches to ever (coach) the game have come through here. You kind of get a respect of why the Browns fans are the way they are.” �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS 10 Thursday, June 16, 2022 Baseball From page 9 Goodson played six different positions defensively this year, was a pitcher (3-2, 1.81 earned run average, 66 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings) and was the only player to receive two or more votes at pitcher, catcher, infield, outfield and utility. “When he first came to me as a freshman, he said he was a catcher, but we had guys back there and he became one of the best outfielders in the state,” Independence coach Scott Cuthbert said. “At the end of last year, he came to me and said he wanted to catch, and we had a need at that spot. We tried him out during a bullpen session in the gym and he took right to it.” Goodson will attend Walters State to play baseball in the fall. Walters State is regarded as one of the nation’s top JUCO baseball programs. McKinney, who has signed with N.C. State, repeated as an infielder. He hit .412 with eight home runs and had 28 walks. “I don’t know about being the best player but I’m sure I’ve not had a kid as athletic as Michael,” Cuthbert said. “He can do things normal people can’t do. He makes every play. You don’t find many 6-foot-4 shortstops who can do the things he can do.” The other duos, like Logan, were from state tournament teams. Fairmont, which fell to Logan in the championship game, was represented by Dennison and Riley. Dennison hit .457 for the Polar Bears with nine doubles, five triples, seven home runs and an on-base percentage of .570, and he had a teambest 69 quality at-bats. Riley, a utility player, led the team in hitting at .475 with 13 doubles, three triples and five home runs. Robert C. Byrd, which fell to Fairmont in the semifinals, was led by Junkins and George. Junkins hit .464 with 11 doubles, two triples and six home runs. The senior infielder was named captain of the team. George hit .465 with 25 doubles, three home runs and 39 RBI. Shady Spring was represented by Manns and Lovell. Manns, who had a big win in the Class AA Region 3, Section 2 series against Independence, was 6-1 on the season with a 1.96 ERA in and he struck out 75 batters in 39 1/3 innings. “He started to get noticed on the state level when he beat Independence in the sectional tournament,” coach Jordan Meadows said. “This year he performed like we knew he would, and he is a gamer. The state tournament experience in every sport he plays (football and basketball, where he played in two state championship games, winning one) gives him the composure to compete at a high level.” Lovell, a utility player who played everywhere from catcher to outfielder to designated hitter, hit a team-best .475, had 47 hits, including five home runs and 43 RBI. “Josh was our leader this year from Game 1,” Meadows said. “He led the team all year in batting average, and we knew we could rely on him in big situations. He played many positions during his career, and he played them all well.” Cottrell is a repeat pitcher for Sissonville, and he fashioned a 9-3 record with a 1.19 earned run average. He had 118 strikeouts and just 11 walks on the season. Kerry Collins from Bluefield and Jacob Howard, both infielders, were two of the top hitters in Region 3 this season. Collins hit a schoolrecord 10 home runs, including two three-run shots in a must-win game at Shady Spring. Collins hit .515 and had 43 runs batted in. Howard led the region in hitting at .586 and he had 15 doubles, three triples, five home runs and 36 RBI. He was walked 26 times, 75 percent of those coming via intentional walks. Cole Malnick of North Marion was also a utility pick on the first team. As a pitcher, Malnick was 6-2 with 73 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings with 73 strikeouts and a 2.64 earned run average. At the plate he hit .458 with eight doubles, two triples, three home runs, 28 RBI and 30 runs scored.

The move the Fed announced after its latest policy meeting will raise its benchmark short-term rate, which affects many consumer and business loans, to a range of 1.5% to 1.75%. With the additional rate hikes they foresee, the policymakers expect their key rate to reach a range of 3.25% to 3.5% by year’s end — the highest level since 2008 — meaning that most forms of borrowing will become sharply more expensive. The central bank is ramping up its drive to tighten credit and slow growth with inflation having reached a four-decade high of 8.6%, spreading to more areas of the economy and showing no sign of slowing. Americans are also starting to expect high inflation to last longer than they had before. This sentiment could embed an inflationary psychology in the economy that would make it harder to bring Division of State Fire Marshal Fire Explosion and Investigation Bureau | Courtesy A road grader, owned by Ohio Department of Transportation in Gallia County, was also set on fire.

McFadden rejected the defense argument that Kevin Seefried never intended to interfere with the congressional proceedings. “I find that he knew what he was doing,” McFadden said. The judge described Kevin Seefreid as the “prime mover” in their decision to go to Washington on Jan. 6. McFadden said Hunter Seefried’s guilty on the obstruction charge was a “closer question,” but the judge ultimately concluded that the son engaged in “aggravated conduct” that supported a conviction. “Hunter Seefried showed a pattern of deception and minimization of his actions” when an FBI agent interviewed him after the riot, McFadden said.

Asked why the Fed was announcing a more aggressive rate hike than he had earlier signaled it would, Powell replied that the latest data had shown inflation to be hotter than expected and that the public’s inflation expectations have accelerated. “We thought strong action was warranted at this meeting,” he said, “and we delivered that.” Inflation has shot to the inflation back to the Fed’s 2% target. The Fed’s three-quarter-point rate increase exceeds the half-point hike that Chair Jerome Powell had previously suggested was likely to be announced this week. The Fed’s decision to impose a rate hike as large as it did Wednesday was an acknowledgment that it’s struggling to curb the pace and persistence of inflation, which has been worsened by Russia’s war against Ukraine and its effects on energy prices Speaking at a news con- Confederate flag-toting man, son convicted in Capitol riot ALMANAC High Low Normal high Normal low Record high Record low Jacquelyn Martin | AP Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks during a news conference following an Open Market Committee meeting at the Federal Reserve Board Building on Wednesday in Washington.
