Mike DeWine ordered nearly 60% of Ohioans to wear a mask in public Thursday. The Republican governor has been facing a bumpy road out of the state’s shutdown, opting to issue countywide mask mandates rather than covering the whole state, but he continues to make the point that Ohioans, more than him, have the power to defeat COVID-19. On Thursday, the state reported 1,290 daily cases, with 28 deaths and 115 virus-related hospitalizations. The numbers of daily cases are more than double what they were last month as the state was beginning to ease into reopening businesses. DeWine said the state is now “sliding down a very dangerous path” as the majority of the infections in each of the counties listed as red on the state’s color-coded alert system happened outside of congregate settings and some of it from travel to states like Florida and Arizona. In Ohio, 19 counties, more than half of the state’s population, are now listed as red on the alert system. Residents of each of those counties are required to wear a mask when in public.

Intelligence agencies in the three nations alleged that the hacking group APT29, also known as Cozy Bear and said to be part of the Russian intelligence services, is attacking academic and pharmaceutical research institutions involved in COVID-19 vaccine development. “It is completely unacceptable that the Russian Intelligence Services are targeting those working to combat the coronavirus pandemic,’’ British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement, accusing Moscow of pursuing “selfish interests with reckless behavior.” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, rejected the British accusations, saying: “We don’t have information about who may have hacked pharmaceutical companies and research centers in Britain.” “We may say one thing: Russia has nothing to do with those attempts,” Peskov said, according to the state news agency Tass. The persistent and ongoing attacks are seen by intelligence officials as an effort to steal intellectual property, rather than to disrupt research. The campaign of “malicious activity’’ is ongoing and includes attacks “predominantly against government, diplomatic, Alexei Druzhinin | Sputnik, Kremlin Pool Photo via AP Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, rejected allegations that a Russian hacker group, APT29, also known as Cozy Bear and said to be part of the Russian intelligence services, is attacking academic and pharmaceutical research institutions involved in COVID-19 vaccine development. think tank, health care and energy targets,’’ Britain’s National Cyber Security Centre said in a statement. Britain’s NCSC said its assessment was shared by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Security Agency, and by the Canadian Communication Security Establishment. The move at a coordinated position seemed designed to add heft and gravity to the announcement — hopefully prompting the targets of the hackers to take protective action. It was unclear whether any information actually was stolen, but the U.K. says individuals’ confidential information is not believed to have been compromised. The U.K. statement did not say whether Putin knew about the vaccine research hacking, but British officials believe such intelligence would be highly prized. Relations been Russia and the U.K. have plummeted since former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with a Soviet-made nerve agent in the English city of Salisbury in 2018 and later recovered. Britain blamed Moscow for the attack, which triggered a round of retaliatory diplomatic expulsions between Russia and Western countries. In a separate report Thursday, Britain accused “Russian actors” of trying to interfere in December’s U.K. national election by circulating leaked or stolen documents online. Unlike in the vaccine report, the U.K. did not allege that the Russian state was involved in the political meddling. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is being accused by opponents of suppressing a report into Russian interference in British politics that was completed last year by the committee that oversees the U.K. intelligence services. The document was not cleared for publication before the general election in December, and the six -month delay since then in appointing new members to the Intelligence and Security Committee led to allegations that Johnson’s government was deliberately stalling. The opposition Labour Party has accused the government of failing to publish the report because it would lead to other questions about links between Russia and the Brexit campaign in Britain’s 2016 European Union membership referendum, which Johnson helped to lead. The intelligence committee met for the first time this week and said it would publish the Russia report before Parliament begins its summer break on July 22. Some critics accused the government of releasing its dossiers of allegations about Russia as a diversionary tactic. Johnson’s spokesman, James Slack, said that was “nonsense.” by New York City police officers; a video of the takedown showed Garner repeatedly saying, “I can’t breathe.” (Garner’s family received $5.9 million from the city in 2015 to settle a wrongful death claim.)

Take, for instance, the call to salvation. You can give the most robust explanation of the gospel, but you can’t make someone receive it. But let me rearrange Isaiah some words in that old proverb until it reads, “You Pauley Contributing can lead a horse to water, columnist but you can’t leave him once he starts drinking.” In other words, you can lead someone to Christ, but you can’t just walk away after he or she accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior. And while you might agree with that statement, do you really believe it? Have we become content with leading people to Christ only to walk away? Do we lead people in the “salvation prayer” without the commitment to care for their young faith? Has the Church become satisfied with winning souls without properly discipling them? There’s a lot of talk about church growth. And it’s not that there’s anything wrong with that. As God’s people, we should celebrate the salvation of lost souls. But we can’t forget the importance of discipleship in the process. God doesn’t just call us to lead people to Himself. He calls us to come alongside them, encourage them, and mentor them as they grow. This is clearly understood in the Great Commission. Jesus says, “‘Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age’” (Matt. 28:19-20 ESV). God’s call on our lives is more than leading people to salvation. That’s important. More important than we could ever explain. But it’s only the beginning. God calls us to stick around. He calls us to teach. To encourage. To disciple. And a great example of what it means to live this way can be seen in the life of the apostle Paul. And while a number of his letters portray his heart, I want to look at 1 Thessalonians, in particular. It’s the first of two letters written by Paul to the church of Thessalonica. And we learn about this church in Acts 17. Paul ministers to the Thessalonians for three weeks before a Jewish mob is formed, and he is forced to leave behind these new converts. While on his missionary journey, Paul is concerned about the church of Thessalonica. He is desperate to know how these young believers are doing. But he is unable to visit them. So, he sends Timothy to Thessalonica to learn about their faith. Eventually, Timothy returns. And upon convening with Paul and Silas in Corinth, Paul writes to the Thessalonians this letter. “But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you—for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith” (1 Thess. 3:6-7 ESV). In verse 6, we see the good news brought. The word Paul uses here for “good news” comes from the root word “evangelion” which is translated as the “gospel” everywhere else in the New Testament. It’s almost as if Paul is saying, “Learning about the well-being of the Thessalonians is like the sound of the gospel in my ears.” Timothy’s report is the good news in action. It’s the fruit of Paul’s labor. And it rings in his ears. But what exactly about the church of Thessalonica brings such joy to the apostle Paul? Paul takes joy in hearing of their faith, love, kind thoughts, and desire to see him (v. 6). And despite his persecution and hardship, Paul is encouraged to learn of their walk with Christ. But his desire to see them is unbearable. He writes, “… we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith” (v. 10 ESV). May we learn what it looks like to care for those who are young in the faith. We must learn to stick around after the “salvation prayer.” The call to follow Christ comes with a call to lead people to the “living water” (see John 4). But once they start drinking, we can’t just walk away. This is the call to discipleship. Isaiah Pauley is the Minister of Worship for Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.

Ohio Valley Publishing SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES Enduring the truth The prophet Amos was sent by God to warn the nation of Israel concerning their impending destruction. Their sins of materialism, idolatry and wantonness had led them far away from a right relationship with God, and if they did not turn to God they would perish and be lost. Amos was faithful in delivering this message, saying, “Jeroboam (the king) shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land (Amos 7:11; ESV).” This was not a message well received. The nation, as a whole, preferred to believe that they were not in danger, and that God was still happy with their choices. They could not endure the truth. Amaziah, the priest of the temple in Bethel told Amos in no uncertain terms, “O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there, but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom. (Amos 7:12; ESV)” Rather than listen to the truth, they preferred to get rid of the messenger and listen to prophets more pleasing to the ears. Less than thirty years later, their nation would be in ruins, and their populace dead and scattered. Jeremiah, the prophet, observed a similar phenomena in his day. “An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the we don’t like the prophets prophesy message, we attack falsely, and the priests the messenger. rule at their direction; Reality, however my people love to has a way of not have it so, but what caring whether you will you do when the like the messenger, end comes? (Jeremiah 5:30-31; ESV)” Jonathan the message, or combination Isaiah was told by McAnulty any of the two. If a God as he began his Contributing weatherman tells ministry, “Go, and say Columnist you accurately there to this people: ‘Keep is a storm coming on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, your way, disparaging his character, and changing the but do not perceive.’ Make the heart of this people dull, channel will not prevent the rain. Likewise, the Israelites and their ears heavy, and not liking the preaching of blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear Amos and telling him to go home, did not change the with their ears, and undertruth of God’s message to stand with their hearts, them. Closing their ears to and turn and be healed. the warnings only meant (Isaiah 6:9-10; ESV)” This they would never take the was a fancy way of saying steps necessary to prevent that the people would not listen to the truth, choosing the catastrophe from coming. instead to not be saved.

If them what they already want to believe, rather than those who will tell them the truth. God’s people can’t allow the issue of itching ears to prevent them from speaking the truth concerning the weighty matters of the gospel. Regardless of whether men want to hear it, the love of Christ should compel us to give every opportunity to those who might listen to hear the message. Just as importantly, we each need to guard ourselves against the temptation of only listening to those with whom we already agree. The Bible tells us, “buy the truth and sell it not, (Proverbs 23:23)” but this is not the same as assuming you already know all the truth. If we refuse to listen to anyone who does not say the things pleasing to us, there will come a day when we close our ears to a message of importance, and miss an opportunity to learn, grow and otherwise improve our condition. In matters earthly, this will keep us stagnate. In matters eternal we will be lost.

Trump is shaking up his campaign amid sinking poll numbers, replacing Parscale with veteran GOP operative Bill Stepien. Trump and Parscale’s relationship had been strained since a Tulsa, Okla., rally that drew a dismal crowd, infuriating the president. polls that show Trump in a significant deficit, according to two campaign officials not authorized to publicly discuss private conversations. The staff change was not expected to alter the day-to-day running of the campaign. News of the shuffle was delivered to Parscale on Wednesday afternoon by White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. Parscale, a political novice, ran Trump’s digital advertising in 2016 and was credited with helping bring about his surprise victory that year. Stepien has been in politics for years, working for former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and serving as Trump’s national field director in 2016. Parscale had been Shane McCoy, 20, of Peebles, Ohio, Richard N. Hanson, 20, West Union, Ohio. A fourth student From page 1 was injured but survived the crash, Todd A.

Bitonte, 22, of jurisdiction over Tycoon Lake. Rucker said he, North Columbus, Ohio, along with Officer Richard Harrison with the Rio Campus Police Department, pulled the monument out of the lake bed and it had been taken to the department’s office on campus. On Thursday, Renee DeLawder, director of marketing and communications at Rio, said the monument was originally placed by McCoy’s parents on State Route 325 where the accident occurred. Though the exact date concerning when the monument was placed and when it went missing is unknown at this time, it’s believed to have been stolen at some point in 1997, according to unconfirmed information DeLawder could gather. Ed Miller, owner of Giovanni’s of Rio Grande, was a student at Rio at the time of the accident and later joined Alpha Sigma Phi, the fraternity of the three men on the monument. Miller said the monument could’ve been missing as far back as 1995, though again, the exact date is unknown. Miller said he pledged the fraternity after the fatal crash but knew the three men who perished, saying, “all three were great guys.” In addition to the story on the crash, the Tribune printed the obituaries of the fraternity brothers. McCoy’s obituary said he was a member of Peebles Church of Christ, survived by his parents, brothers, sister, grandparents. A scholarship was established in his name. Hanson’s obituary said he was the co-founder of the Young Republican Club at Rio, survived by his parents, sisters, nieces and nephews. Bitonte’s obituary stated he’d just completed his internship at the French Art Colony and was the treasurer of Alpha Sigma Phi. An Eagle Scout, he was survived by his parents, brother, grandmothers and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Looking back on the somber events of 31 years ago, Miller said of the shared loss, “It created unity on campus, because it is a small campus, everybody knows everybody.” Miller said McCoy’s parents, as owners of the monument, have been contacted and informed it has been found. It’s unknown how the monument ended up in Tycoon Lake, or really how long it had been there. The pieces were covered in mud and found near the boat launch where, in addition to the water level being lowered, excavating had been ongoing. Did the excavating uncover it after years of being dumped there or was it recently dumped? Someone out there possibly still has the answers to these questions, including the “why?” Miller said, though he’s often wondered what happened to that monument along State Route 325, what matters more is that it was found.

This is above the 21-day average of 16 lows: targeted online advertising that Trump aides believed were key in 2016. Parscale’s digital advertising firm was among the campaign’s most significant vendors, and some in Trump’s orbit have alleged that the former campaign manager was profiting off the president’s reelection. Parscale has repeatedly denied the claims. Trump has been pressed by allies in recent months to expand his political circle and more forcefully define his run against Biden. Last month, Trump announced a promotion for Stepien and returned former communications chief Jason Miller to his campaign, taking away some of Parscale’s clout and influence. Biden also shuffled his campaign team, albeit much earlier in the cycle, amid a disastrous stretch in his primary run. For Biden, the moves marked genuine shakeups that expanded and changed how his campaign operated. Bill Lambert | Courtesy The marble base of the monument covered in mud, revealed clues as to its history and owners. “To me, that’s the amazing part, that after all these years, it’s back,” he said. Both Lambert and Royer on Thursday, said they were glad to know the monument’s owners were found and maybe, a little closure with it. “They (Lambert and Royer) did find something…something of great importance,” Miller said. The discovery proves, just because something has been unseen for years, doesn’t mean it’s forgotten. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Speculation had been rampant about who might be promoted to lead the operation, with names like former Trump strategist Steve Bannon floated. Parscale is a close ally of Kushner, who wields ultimate control over the campaign. A Florida resident, he had not been a regular presence of late in the campaign’s Arlington, Virginia, headquarters, sparking some resentments among staffers. Rather than parting ways completely, Parscale was retained in part because of the difficulty the campaign would have faced in rebuilding its digital advertising operation so close to the Nov. 3 general election. While the Republican National Committee owned most of the campaign’s data, voter modeling and outreach tools, Parscale ran most of the micro- and be postmarked by or before Aug. 10, 2020.

It didn’t change how the Cleveland Browns feel about him. The team signed Garrett to a five-year, $125 million contract extension on Wednesday, making the talented edge rusher the NFL’s highest-paid defensive player. The deal includes $100 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network. The timing of Garrett’s extension is surprising since the last time he played in a game it ended with him ripping off Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph’s helmet and striking him in the head with it. The shocking attack led to a six-game suspension for Garrett and questions about his character. anchor their defense through the 2026 season. “It would be remiss of me not to address the fact that we are choosing to do this after a season during which Myles was suspended,” said Browns firstyear general manager Andrew Berry. “Myles has been accountable for his mistake and we view the incident as well out of character. We don’t believe one moment should define him based on how he has handled himself prior to and in the months after last year’s inciTony Avelar | AP file dent. The Cleveland Browns signed defensive end Myles Garrett to a five-year, $125 “We are excited to ensure million contract extension on Wednesday, making the talented edge rusher the that Myles will stay in CleveNFL’s highest-paid defensive player. land for the foreseeable future.” But despite a league ban that Garrett as a person or player. Garrett posted a video on They wanted to make certain effectively ended Cleveland’s playoff hopes, the Browns have they’ll have the 24-year-old for Instagram of him signing the never wavered in their belief in multiple years, and he will now deal and then writing a note he pushed in front of the camera that said: “Cleveland keep betting on me. World keep betting against us.” Garrett’s agent, Bus Cook, and the Browns had been working on the record-setting package for months, and they finalized it amid uncertainty about the opening of training camp later this month and whether there will be a 2020 season because of the COVID19 pandemic. Garrett was under contract through 2021 after the Browns exercised the fifth-year option on his rookie deal in April. He’ll make $4.6 million in 2020 and $15.18 million next season before the extension kicks in. The No. 1 overall draft pick See BROWNS | 9 NASCAR hosts largest sporting event crowd since pandemic BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Clint Bowyer hopped off his pit stand at Bristol Motor Speedway to learn he’d won the fan vote to advance into NASCAR’s All-Star race — an announcement met by a roar from the grandstands. It wasn’t the raucous ovation typically heard in Thunder Valley, but after four months of near silence, it was better than nothing. Up to 30,000 fans were allowed to attend Wednesday night’s race, NASCAR’s largest with spectators since the coronavirus pandemic shut down sports in March. Attendance figures were not released, but it appeared at least 20,000 spectators were socially distanced throughout the grandstands — making it the largest sporting event in the United States since winter. “It damn sure feels good to have the fans back at the track,” Bowyer said. Chase Elliott, NASCAR’s most popular driver, won the race and celebrated to chants of “USA! USA!” from the crowd. IndyCar raced last weekend at Road America in Wisconsin and there was no limit on tickets sold to the event held on a 4-mile road course. Crowd estimates for that event have been around 10,000 spectators. Driver introductions were held for the first time since racing resumed May 17, although the usual over-the-top festivities were toned down. Drivers for the AllStar event typically walked out on a stage with their team but on Wednesday night they stood next to their cars and waved to the crowd as they were introduced. The All-Star Race was moved from Charlotte Motor Speedway for just the second time since its 1985 inception because Tennessee officials allowed Speedway Motorsports to sell a percentage of its seats. North Caro- lina, where the race was held at Charlotte Motor Speedway its first year and every year since 1987, would not authorize spectators. Bristol, dubbed “The Last Great Colosseum,” can hold about 140,000 people, meaning it would be 79% empty even with a sellout crowd of 30,000. Masks were only required upon entrance. Fans were told they could remove them once in their seats. Tickets were on sale through Tuesday evening and still available on Bristol’s website until the deadline. The speedway is privately owned and attendance figures are not required to be released. Concession stands were open, but typical shopping opportunities were limited and independent street-side souvenir stands along Speedway Boulevard hawked driver items and even a few Confederate flags. As fans arrived, they were greeted by a plane flying over the Tennessee track that was pulling a banner of the Confederate flag. NASCAR in June banned the flag at its events, but protesters at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama paraded past the main entrance waving them from their vehicles. A plane also flew over the speedway that day with a flag that read “Defund NASCAR,” a play on the “defund the police” slogan of some protesting racial injustice. President Donald Trump has criticized NASCAR for banning the Confederate flag, blaming the decision for the sport’s “low ratings,” although TV ratings for NASCAR have been up since racing resumed. The Sons of Confederate Veterans of Columbia, Tennessee, claimed it had paid for the banner over Talladega. The one flying over Bristol Motor Speedway listed only the group’s website. Ron Schwane | AP Cleveland Indians’ Francisco Lindor walks off the field during baseball practice Monday in Cleveland. Indians lean on strong starters, Lindor CLEVELAND (AP) — This could have been Cleveland’s year. Maybe it can be anyway. Under normal circumstances, with their strong starting rotation, starfilled infield, postseason experience and one of baseball’s best managers, the Indians figured to have a solid chance at ending their 71-yearold World Series title drought — baseball’s longest — in 2020. In this new, changingby-the-moment world, it may be their last, best chance for a while. With the schedule slashed 102 games because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indians will take off on a 60-game summer sprint they could win as easily as anyone. Cleveland’s got the arms, enough bats, and in Terry Francona, perhaps the perfect manager to motivate and navigate his players through this oddball season. For Francona, nothing has changed. Sure, he’ll have to manage behind a mask, and that will be less problematic since he’s kicked his voracious bubble-gum chewing habit. When the season finally opens July 24 after a three-month delay, there will be a sense of urgency like never before. “We start, and everything you do counts,” he said following a toasty, July morning workout at Progressive Field. “I mean, 50 years from now when somebody looks on the back of somebody’s baseball card, they’re not gonna care that we had some damn virus that they probably never even heard of. This is baseball.” The Indians missed the playoffs for the first time since 2015 last season, finishing eight games behind the Minnesota Twins, who unseated Cleveland as AL Central champion. Injuries and inconsistency plagued the Indians in 2019, and a late push for the postseason stalled when third baseman Jose Ramirez broke his hand in late August and needed surgery. Whether this season started in March or July, All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s future was going to hang over the club. The 26-yearold has grown into one of the game’s best allaround players, a oncein-a-decade talent who can affect the game in numerous ways. Lindor is only signed through 2021 and he’s rejected several longterm contract offers from the cash-conscious Indians, who can’t break their bank and overpay him. The dilemma for Cleveland’s front office is whether to hang on to Lindor until he becomes a free agent and try to win a Series title or trade him for top prospects. The pandemic has added a layer of intrigue to Lindor’s complicated situation, and it has heightened the sense of urgency to win. If the season does happen, one team will be crowned a champion. And while an asterisk might be added, the Indians would gladly have their name next to it. “If you do it the right way, 60 games is going to mean more than another World Series I know about,” said righthander Mike Clevinger, who has been outspoken about Houston’s 2017 title, somewhat tainted by the Astros’ cheating. “This is my opinion, it’s going to be some of the most exciting baseball you’ve seen. You’ve got a 60-game race to the end. Everybody’s in it. “This is going to be the time to watch baseball. It’s going to get people back into it.” Not Justin Cleveland’s trade of two-time Cy Young winner Corey Kluber to Texas last winter momentarily left the team without an ace. Shane Bieber has moved into that spot. Last year’s All-Star Game MVP, the 25-yearold Bieber is already drawing comparisons to Kluber because of his consistency, work ethic and unflappable demeanor. “I catch myself saying a lot of the things I said about Kluber seven years ago,” Francona said in praising Bieber, who went 15-8 with a 3.28 ERA in 2019. “And that’s a very big compliment to anybody.” Soft schedule Perhaps one of the benefits of the condensed scheduled is that the Indians will play the majority of it against AL Central opponents. The Indians will face the Twins, White Sox, Tigers and Royals 10 times each and their furthest trip will be to Minneapolis. Cleveland went 48-28 inside the Central a year ago — 18-1 against Detroit — and is 145-83 over the past three seasons. Switch on Francona’s lineup will be one of baseball’s most flexible. His entire starting infield — Lindor, Ramirez, second baseman Cesar Hernandez and first baseman Carlos Santana -— are all switch-hitters, giving Francona the luxury to get favorable matchups against right- or lefthanders. Lindor, who has been so productive from the leadoff spot, might hit third this season. “Shoot,” Francona said. “We may end up lining up those switchhitters 1-2-3-4.” Name game The Indians are considering a new identity following the move by the NFL’s Washington Redskins to drop their offensive name. Cleveland’s team has been the Indians since 1915. They removed the contentious Chief Wahoo logo from their game caps and jerseys two years ago, and it might be time for a complete re-branding by the franchise. �SPORTS/CLASSIFIEDS Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, July 17, 2020 9 OVP SPORTS BRIEFS PVH Children & Family Golf Classic Course in Mason County.

His average salary eclipses the $23.5 million per season the Chicago Bears are giving star edge rusher Khalil Mack, who signed in 2018. Garrett has freakish physical skills. At 6-foot-4, 280 pounds, he’s a devastating mix of power and speed, and his ability to turn the corner and get to the quarterback or harass him has forced teams to sometimes devote two and three blockers to try and slow Garrett down. “It’s really important for us as an organization to cement (740) 446-2342 or fax to (740) 446-3008 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with the Point Pleasant Register?

He’s young, and I can’t wait to get our hands on him and put him in this scheme and let him loose. He’s as disruptive as they come. He’s big, long, fast, quick and has a motor. He checks all the boxes.” Garrett has 30 1/2 sacks in 37 games since the Browns selected Garrett from Texas A&M three years ago. Garrett had 10 sacks in 10 games last season before the infamous incident with Rudolph, who tangled with the defensive end in the closing seconds of Cleveland’s 21-7 win over the rival Steelers on Nov. 14. Garrett claimed he attacked OH-70195130 Rudolph because the QB uttered a racial slur toward him. Rudolph has denied saying anything derogatory to antagonize Garrett. He was reinstated in February after a hearing with arbitrators and meeting in New York with Commissioner Roger Goodell. His suspension behind him, Garrett wants to reward the Browns for their loyalty.

Layoffs in Florida, Georgia and California rose by tens of thousands, the Labor Department said Thursday in its weekly report. The number of laid-off workers seeking assistance remained stuck at 1.3 million — a stunning number that, while lower than the previous week, illustrated the devastation wrought by widespread shutdowns.

Those funds, along with the $1,200 relief checks sent Nati Harnik | AP out in April, enabled Job seekers exercise social distancing as they wait to be called into the Heartland Workforce Solutions office in Omaha, Neb.
