The mask mandate in Ohio remains in effect for all 88 counties. In the weeks following the Fourth of July, Ohio began to see a significant increase in cases caused, in part, by holiday gatherings.

Governor Husted also unveiled a new public service announcement to encourage Ohioans to wear masks. The PSA features 99-year-old Jim “Pee Wee” Martin who lives in Sugarcreek Township in Greene County. Jim volunteered to be a WWII Paratrooper, an original member of Company “G”, 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. His nickname “Pee Wee” was earned because he was 106 pounds, the smallest and lightest guy in the company. In 1944, Jim jumped into France over Utah Beach the night prior to D-Day and fought for 33 days in the Normandy campaign. He also fought in Holland, Belgium, and Germany. Among his many awards, Jim earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his great work. “Wearing a mask to protect Jim “Pee Wee” Martin seems like a small sacrifice for us to protect people like him, considering all he did to protect us,” said Lt. Governor Husted. Current COVID-19 data There are 124,610 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 in Ohio and 4,165 confirmed and probable COVID-19 deaths.

CHICAGO (AP) — San Diego acted boldly once again. Miami actually strengthened its roster. Mike Clevinger, Starling Marte, Archie Bradley and Todd Frazier were on the move. Lance Lynn and Dylan Bundy stayed put. Baseball’s pandemic-delayed trade deadline was quite a day. The contending Padres got Clevinger in a multiplayer trade with Cleveland, bolstering their rotation Monday in a rare deadline deal between contenders. The surprising Marlins reeled in the dynamic Marte for their outfield. There was a lot of talk about pitchers Lynn and Bundy, but Lynn stayed in Texas and the Angels held onto Bundy. The trade deadline is normally July 31, but it was pushed back when the start of the season was delayed because of the coronavirus. With the shortened season and financial uncertainty brought on by the pandemic, there was talk that it might be an unusually quiet day. But there was plenty of activity instead, spurred in part by the expanded playoff format for this year. “It felt like a normal deadline in a lot of ways,” Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. “Tons of activity and phone calls and things like that. I think that in the end, you know, with the Padres notwithstanding, I think that there probably wasn’t quite as much aggressiveness.” The lack of a minor league season also hurt the market, forcing teams to work off older information on prospects. There was very little to go on when it came to the players working out at alternate training sites. “I’d say the volume of consummated transactions probably surprised me a little bit,” Brewers general manager David Stearns said. Shooting for its first playoff appearance since 2006, San Diego acquired Clevinger in its fifth big trade since Saturday.

River Valley junior Lauren Twyman came away with top honors in the girls race, while South Gallia senior Garrett Frazee was the overall runner-up in the boys race Saturday during the 2020 Huntington High School Cross Country Invitational held in Ross County. Twyman — a state qualifier a year ago — defeated a 64-competitor field by more than 14 seconds to come away with individual girls title, while Frazee was more than a minute behind eventual boys champion Mitch Green (17:25.56) of Waverly. The Lady Raiders didn’t have enough participants to qualify for a team score, leaving only seven teams in the girls event. Vinton County won the girls team title with 30 points, with Huntington Ross (41) and East Clinton (88) rounding out the top three positions. Twyman posted a winning mark of 21:14.88, finishing well ahead of overall runner-up Olivia Mayers (22:29.37) of Vinton County. Ruth Rickett was next for RVHS with a 22nd place time of 27:40.63, followed by Kate Nutter (29:22.95) and Nakeisha Shriver (31:19.39) with respective finishes of 32nd and 47th. Dafney Clary of South Gallia placed 33rd overall with a time of 29:29.19. There were nine teams and 75 individual competitors in the boys event, with Waverly coming away with top honors following a winning tally of 40 points. Unioto was second with 50 points, while South Gallia (146) and River Valley (157) respectively placed fifth and seventh.

The Padres also made a smaller deal right at the deadline, picking up reliever Taylor Williams from Seattle for a player to be named. Clevinger hopes to join his new team in time for its series opener at Anaheim on Wednesday. “Definitely something special brewing here and I think it’s going to be something special for coming years, not just this year,” Clevinger said. Miami is normally a seller at the deadline. But the Marlins are in the postseason mix with a .500 record after dealing with a coronavirus outbreak, and help is on the way. The Fish sent pitchers Caleb Smith and Humberto Mejia and a player to be named to the Diamondbacks for Marte, who is batting .311 in 33 games this year. Miami also traded Jonathan Villar to Toronto for a player to be named, but Isan Díaz is working out again and could return to the Marlins soon. “Our club has fought so hard for the first 30 games for what they endured,” president of baseball operations Michael Hill said. “We want to do everything on our part to put us in a position to make it to the playoffs.” There were very few sellers with 16 teams heading to the playoffs, but the last-place Diamondbacks also traded left-handed starter Robbie Ray to the Blue Jays, Bradley to Cincinnati and fellow reliever Andrew Chafin to the Cubs. The struggling Rangers dealt Frazier and catcher Robinson Chirinos to the Mets, and sent lefty Mike Minor to AL Westleading Oakland. “There are moments in time you can’t go chasing something that isn’t there,” Arizona GM Mike Hazen said. “For this season, it hasn’t been there. I feel like pivoting at this moment in time is what’s most appropriate.” While some contenders moved forward with their current roster, the Blue Jays made over their rotation with the additions of Ross Stripling, Ray and Taijuan Walker, who was acquired in a deal with Seattle on Thursday. The Cubs also got veteran outfielder Cameron Maybin from Detroit and lefty reliever Josh Osich in a trade with Boston. The Dodgers, Yankees, Braves and White Sox were noticeably quiet. Of course, the loaded Dodgers, who traded Stripling to Toronto for two players to be named, don’t have much to worry about, sitting atop the NL West with the best record in baseball. “We feel really good about the team that we have, and also the depth that we have behind it,” said Andrew Friedman, the president of baseball operations for the Dodgers. “So our mindset was not to do something just to do something. We have guys on our 28-man roster who are deserving of playing time, and (we) didn’t want to block that unless it was someone really impactful.” American’s 2020 approach The American will start conference play Sept. 19 with each team From page 5 playing eight games on the dates originally “We’re fortunate because I am a new head scheduled.

(AP) — NASCAR’s pandemic-plagued season has finally reached the playoffs, with 16 drivers chasing the Cup championship starting Sunday in South Carolina. It brings the series full circle back to Darlington Raceway, where NASCAR resumed its season in May after a 10-week pause for the pandemic. The stock car series was one of the first major sports to return, with COVID-19 protocols and a relentless pace that got NASCAR back on schedule. Kevin Harvick won that first race back at Darlington and three nights later it was Denny Hamlin in victory lane. The duo has not let off the gas since and returns to Darlington prepping for a head-to-head challenge for the championship. Harvick won the regular-season title with seven victories, all after NASCAR resumed racing. Hamlin opened the year with his third Daytona 500 victory then won five more times. The rivals have combined for 13 wins in 26 races and should easily slide into the Nov. 8 winner-take-all finale. “Everybody else is racing for two spots and not four,” said Greg Zipadelli, the competition director at Stewart-Haas Racing, Harvick’s team. “I think those two guys are going to go and run head-to-head and win races and move on. The curious thing is which team driver will step up in the team receiving votes. next 10 weeks and match what they’ve done?” There are 14 other drivers in the playoff field and not one has come close to the consistency shown by Harvick and Hamlin. Brad Keselowski won three times for Team Penske after racing resumed, and the organization has two wins from Joey Logano and one from Ryan Blaney. Hendrick Motorsports has four wins: Two from Chase Elliott and one each from Alex Bowman and William Byron, who raced his way into the playoffs with his first career victory last Saturday at Daytona. The rest of the field is all over the map. Cole Custer is the only rookie in the playoffs and earned his first career berth with a surprise win at Kentucky. Matt DiBenedetto is also making his first career playoff appearance by pointing his way in at Daytona. DiBenedetto gave Ford eight cars in the playoff field, well ahead of Chevrolet (five) and Toyota (three). The full four-car slates from SHR and Penske — DiBenedetto drives for Wood Brothers Racing, a Penske affiliate — all advanced as the Blue Oval brand took half the 16 slots. “This is a big one making the playoffs for the Wood Brothers,” DiBenedetto said. “This is very big, really special and I’m glad we’ll be able to get to work and do the best Big legs Cincinnati has quarterback Desmond Ridder to help offset the loss of top rusher Michael Warren II who left early for the NFL. Ridder ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns leading Cincinnati to a rout of Boston College in the Birmingham Bowl. we can the rest of the season.” Does he have a shot? Probably not. But DiBenedetto is one of four drivers in the playoffs without a firm contract for 2021 and a strong performance could earn him an extension. Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola and Byron are the only three free agents in the field, but Zipadelli said Monday the team is working on retaining the same four-car lineup next year (Harvick, Custer, Almirola and Bowyer). Byron’s win at Daytona likely earned him a Hendrick extension, which could be announced as early as this week. None are considered true threats to advance through the championship round. So who could challenge Harvick and Hamlin? Well, reigning series champion Kyle Busch has made it to the final four the last five consecutive years. But he’s shockingly winless through 26 races and hasn’t caught much of a break. He was wrecked while racing for the win at Daytona last week. “Thought we had a shot to do that,” he shrugged. “Still 2020.” The dark horse could be 2017 champion Martin Truex Jr., who has made it to the finale three consecutive years. Truex won seven races last year, has just one victory this season and has been outrun by teammate Hamlin. to play games in the American with Memphis hosting Arkansas State and SMU going to Texas State on Saturday. Navy hosts BYU on Monday, while East Carolina hosts Marshall on Sept. 12. The extra playing time could give those teams an early boost compared to some others. Tulane, USF and Tulsa also start Sept. 12. UCF lost games to Florida International and Florida A&M and will open Sept. 19 against Georgia Tech. Cincinnati lost three of its first four games and pushed back its opener against Austin Peay to Sept. 19 instead of Sept. 3 to avoid going a month between games. Temple lost games against Idaho and UMass and will debut Sept. 26 against Navy, which will have played two games by then.

Trump declared the violence “anti-American.” He did not mention Jacob Blake, who was badly wounded last week in Kenosha. Soon after arriving in the city, a visit made over the objections of state and local leaders, Trump toured the charred remains of a block besieged by violence and fire. With the scent of smoke still in the air, he spoke to the owners of a century-old store that had been destroyed and continued to link the violence to the Democrats, blaming those in charge of Kenosha and Wisconsin while raising apocalyptic warnings if their party should capture the White House. “These are not acts of peaceful protest but, really, domestic terror,” said Trump. And he condemned Democrats for not immediately Sarah Hawley | Sentinel Chamber intern Kyan Edwards performed music during the social hour. Publishing, all rights reserved.

Painting a dark portrait of parts of the nation he leads, the president again linked the radical forces he blamed for the violence to the Democrats and their presidential nominee, Joe Biden, declaring that chaos could soon descend on other cities across America. Trump condemned unrest in Portland, Oregon, too — as well as an increase in shootings in cities including Chicago and New York — and tried to take credit for stopping the violence in Kenosha with the National Guard. But it was Wisconsin’s Democratic governor, Tony Evers, who deployed the Guard to quell demonstrations in response to the Blake shooting, and he had pleaded with Trump to stay away for fear of straining tensions further.

Offering federal resources to help rebuild the city, Trump toured a high school that had been transformed into a law enforcement command post. He said he tried to call the Blake’s mother but opted against it after the family asked that a lawyer listen in. He later added he felt “terribly” for anyone who suffered a loss, but otherwise only noted that the situation was “complicated” and “under investigation.” The only words acknowledging the suffering of African Americans came from a pastor who attended the law enforcement roundtable. Pressed by reporters, Trump repeatedly pivoted away from assessing any sort of structural racism in the nation or its police accepting his offer of federal assistance, claiming “They just don’t want us to come, These governors don’t want to call, and the mayors don’t want to call. They have to ask.” The city has the scene of protests since the Aug. 23 shooting of Blake, who was hit seven times in the back by police as he was getting into a car while they were trying to arrest him. Protests have been concentrated in a small area of Kenosha. While there were more than 30 fires set in the first three nights, the situation has calmed since then. Trump’s motorcade passed throngs of demonstrators, some holding American flags in support of the president, others jeering while carrying signs that read Black Lives Matter.
