OHIO VALLEY —
Gallia and Mason counties each reported a
new case of COVID-19
on Monday.
On Monday, the West
Virginia Department
of Health and Human
Resources reported a
new COVID-19 case
for Mason County. The
Mason County Health
Department conﬁrmed
the additional case
with Jennifer Thomas,
nursing director/administrator of the MCHD,
stating the case was
considered travel related. This means, since
March, Mason County
has had a total of 17
conﬁrmed COVID-19
cases, with 16 of those
now considered recovered, according to the
health department.
The Gallia County
Health Department
announced its 11th

“At this time, we are

associated with travel
and is not connected
to our most recent
case. The case will be
listed as 1 additional
conﬁrmed case for a
total of 11 cases (8
conﬁrmed, 3 probable).
We urge individuals
to practice all necessary safety guidelines,
including social distancing and the wearing of facial coverings
when not able to social
distance,” read a statement from the Gallia
County Health Department on its Facebook
page Monday morning.
This brings case
numbers in both Gallia
and Meigs Counties
to 11 each. Only Morgan (seven cases) and
Noble (nine cases) have
fewer than Meigs and
Gallia.
Gallia County has
had eight conﬁrmed
and three probable
cases, while Meigs
County has had nine
conﬁrmed and two
probable cases. Meigs

At a county fair, keep ‘one cow apart’
By Tyler Buchanan
Ohio Capital Journal

PICKAWAY COUNTY
— A statue of a large
steer greets visitors to
the Pickaway County
Fairgrounds, and this
year, signs with cows on
them could be seen at the
entrance of each animal
barn.
The signs read: “Maintain social distancing.
Keep one cow apart. Protect against infection.”
Reminders of the coronavirus pandemic were
everywhere at the ﬁrst
county fair held in Ohio
this year, which wrapped
up this past weekend.
When I bought my ticket
Friday afternoon, the
man inside the entrance
booth started to hand
me my change, then

This was among the many signs at the 2020 Pickaway County Fair
encouraging fairgoers to socially distance.

stopped, remembering
the safety protocol.
“Oh, do you answer
yes to any of the questions on that sign?” he
asked, pulling the money
back.
The sign asked if I
had been experiencing
any common symptoms
or had been recently
exposed to someone with

the virus. I told the man
I was good to go, and he
cheerfully reached back
out with the money.
The fairgrounds were
renovated just last year.
As someone who’s
covered my fair share
of fairs, I was suitably
impressed. But Friday
was a scorcher, so I relied
on an old reporting trick

from my days in Vinton
County. When the heat
gets unbearable or the
rains fall, I head to the
Fair Board ofﬁce to soak
in some air conditioning
and make small talk with
local organizers.
Vinton County was
among the ﬁrst counties
to cancel its 2020 fair,
typically held in July.
Many other counties followed suit throughout
the unsteady spring
months, back when the
virus impact was still in
doubt and there was no
assurance from the state
that fairs would even be
allowed to be held.
Some counties chose
to plan a scaled-down
fair, cutting back on
items like entertainment

Governor provides COVID-19 update
Outdoor nursing home visitations can begin soon
Staff Report

AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC

Tuesday, June 30, 2020 s 50¢

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio
Governor Mike DeWine provided
several COVID-19 related updates
on Monday afternoon during
a news conference, including
updates on increases in hospitalizations and positivity pate,
counties of concern, nursing home
visitation, and more.
Nursing home visitation
Governor DeWine announced
that beginning July 20, nursing
homes are permitted to begin outdoor visitation as long as all safety
standards are met.
When assessing their readiness

to permit outdoor visitation, nursing homes should consider: Case
status in the surrounding community; Case status in the nursing
home; Stafﬁng levels; Access to
adequate testing for residents and
staff; Personal protective equipment supplies; and Local hospital
capacity.
The decision to move forward
with outdoor visitation considered requests from families and
residents and the impact on the
quality of life that a prolonged
loss of connection can have on an
individual. The plan was made in
consultation with advocates and
providers in the aging and development disabilities communities.

Guidelines for visitation were
jointly developed by the Academy
for Senior Health Sciences, Leading Age Ohio, the Ohio Assisted
Living Association, the Ohio
Health Care Association, and the
Ohio Medical Directors Association.
“We are conﬁdent that our
approach provides each facility
the ﬂexibility needed to assess
their readiness to safely facilitate
outdoor visitation and to do so in
a transparent way that keeps residents and families informed,” said
Governor DeWine.

Golden State Killer admits to dozens of rapes, murders

By Don Thompson
and Brian Melley
Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif.
— A former police ofﬁcer
who terrorized California
as a serial burglar and
rapist and went on to kill
more than a dozen people
while evading capture for
decades pleaded guilty
Monday to murders
attributed to a criminal
dubbed the Golden State
Killer.
Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. had remained
almost silent in court
since his 2018 arrest until
he repeatedly uttered
the words “guilty” and
“I admit” in a hushed
and raspy voice as part
of a plea agreement that
will spare him the death
penalty for a life sentence
with no chance of parole.
DeAngelo, 74, had
never publicly acknowledged the killings, but
offered up a confession of
sorts after his arrest that
cryptically referred to an
inner personality named
“Jerry” that he said forced
him to commit the wave
of crimes that ended
abruptly in 1986.
“I did all that,” DeAngelo said to himself while
alone in a police interrogation room after his
arrest in April 2018, Sacramento County prosecutor Thien Ho said.
“I didn’t have the
strength to push him
out,” DeAngelo said. “He

made me. He went with
me. It was like in my
head, I mean, he’s a part
of me. I didn’t want to
do those things. I pushed
Jerry out and had a happy
life. I did all those things.
I destroyed all their lives.
So now I’ve got to pay the
price.”
The day of reckoning
had come for DeAngelo,
Ho said.
“The scope of Joseph
DeAngelo’s crimes is simply staggering,” Ho said.
”Each time he escaped,
slipping away silently into

Joseph James DeAngelo, center, charged with being the Golden State Killer, is helped up by his
attorney, Diane Howard, as Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Bowman enters the courtroom
Monday in Sacramento, Calif. DeAngelo pleaded guilty to multiple counts of murder and other charges
40 years after a sadistic series of assaults and slayings in California. Due to the large numbers of
people attending, the hearing was held at a ballroom at California State University, Sacramento, to
allow for social distancing.

The retired truck
mechanic was arrested
at his home in the Sacramento suburbs — the
same area he terrorized
in the mid-1970s, earning the title East Area
Rapist.
Prosecutors detailed
sadistic acts he committed after slipping into
homes undetected and
surprising couples in bed
by shining a ﬂashlight in
their faces and threatening to kill everyone in
the house — including
young children — if they
didn’t follow his orders.
The masked prowler
initially said he only
wanted their money
to earn their cooperation. He would have the
women bind their husbands or boyfriends face
down in bed with shoelaces, and then he would
bind the women. Victims
described being prodded
by the barrel of a gun or
the tip of a knife.
He piled dishes on the
backs of men and said
they would both be killed
if he heard the plates
crash while he raped the
woman.
At a home in Contra
Costa County in the fall
of 1978, he told a woman
he would cut her baby
boy’s ear off if she didn’t
perform oral sex after he
had raped her.
“I admit,” DeAngelo
said after the prosecutor
read the description of
that crime.

COVID-19
From page 1

of increasing COVID-19
hospital utilization in Ohio
after over two months of
decreasing utilization since
late April. From June 21-27,
Ohio had approximately
500 to 550 total COVID-19
patients in hospitals statewide. This week, there are
approximately 650 COVID19 patients in hospitals
statewide.
In comparison, the number of standard hospital
beds occupied by COVID-19
positive patients had peaked
in late April and early May
at about 1,000 and reached
a low of 513 on June 20.
“Thankfully, ICU and ventilator utilization at the state
level is still holding steady,
but we are seeing increases
in some areas of the state,
such as in the Cleveland,
Dayton, and Cincinnati
areas,” said Governor DeWine. “In other regions of the
state, COVID-19 hospital
occupancy had been declining but now appears to have
leveled off.”
Although COVID-19
utilization in hospitals is
increasing, there is still
adequate overall capacity
available across the state
as of today. No region has
reached the concern threshold of 80 percent overall
utilization for ICU beds,
however lessons of recent

Fair

history in NYC, Houston,
and Arizona indicate that
this can quickly change.
Positivity rate
Governor DeWine
explained that the increase
in positive COVID-19 cases
is not fully due to Ohio’s
increase in testing.
“Ohio’s positivity rate
has increased slightly as
our testing totals have
increased,” said Governor
DeWine. “If the spread of
this virus remained at a low
level, more testing should
show a lower positivity. The
increase of our positivity
rate, even as we are doing
more testing, means that we
are likely picking up signs of
broader community spread.”

In Hamilton County and
the surrounding Southwestern Ohio region, hospital
utilization by COVID-19
positive patients reached
their lowest levels of this
epidemic during the ﬁrst
and second weeks of June.
Since then the number of
COVID-positive patients
being treated in standard
hospital beds, ICU beds,
and on ventilators has started to increase.

Montgomery County
In Montgomery County,
there is a noticeable
increase in cases over the
last month from an average
of about 10 cases a day at
the end of May to about
40 cases a day in the most
recent week. The community is also experiencing

Just as the state hoped,
there were mitigation
steps taken all over the
fairgrounds. Hand sanitizer and handwashing
stations were plenty. A
regular public service
announcement urged fairgoers to wash their hands
and stay socially distant.
Inside the animal barns,
each row of cages had an
arrow telling you which
way to walk, just like a
grocery store.
While other fairs are
not planning to have
games and rides this year,
Pickaway County had
both. One such attraction
featured a carnival-esque
walk-through, with fun
mirrors and spinning
ﬂoors and the like. This
meant lots of touching
around for kids inside. At
the entrance was a bottle
of hand sanitizer, with a
sign reading, “thank you
for helping prevent the
spread of germs.”
Following state restrictions, the fair allowed
only a 50% occupancy to
the grandstand for events
like the tractor pull and
rodeo.
The fair encouraged
masks, but I saw very
few people wearing them
besides those working at
food stands and rides.
This didn’t seem so
troubling outside, where
the state-of-the-art fairgrounds kept everyone
mostly spread apart. The
animal shows held inside
Heritage Hall were a
different story. Dozens
of spectators watched
shoulder-to-shoulder in
the stands.
The fair did offer a
safe option for those not
wanting to attend those
shows: All events were
livestreamed on Facebook.
This year marked the
75th anniversary of the
Pickaway County Fair.
Several 4-H groups,
already prone to lavish
displays of creativity and
ﬂourish, celebrated the
occasion with elaborate
club booths. The Darby
Fine and Dandy Club,
named for the small village of Darbyville, also
celebrated its 75th year
in 2020. The booth showcased stuffed animals
adorned with birthday
hats and club enrollment
forms dating back to the
late 1940s.
There were also photos
taken in the past year of
4-H’ers volunteering at

TODAY IN HISTORY
Associated Press

Today is Tuesday, June 30, the 182nd
day of 2020. There are 184 days left in
the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On June 30, 1971, the Supreme Court
ruled, 6-3, that the government could
not prevent The New York Times or The
Washington Post from publishing the
Pentagon Papers.
On this date:
In 1865, eight people, including Mary
Surratt and Dr. Samuel Mudd, were
convicted by a military commission of
conspiring with John Wilkes Booth, the
assassin of President Abraham Lincoln.
(Four defendants, including Surratt,
were executed; Mudd was sentenced to
life in prison, but was pardoned by President Andrew Johnson in 1869.)
In 1918, labor activist and socialist
Eugene V. Debs was arrested in Cleveland, charged under the Espionage Act of
1917 for a speech he’d made two weeks
earlier denouncing U.S. involvement in
World War I. (Debs was sentenced to
prison and disenfranchised for life.)
In 1934, Adolf Hitler launched his
“blood purge” of political and military
rivals in Germany in what came to
be known as “The Night of the Long
Knives.”
In 1958, the U.S. Senate passed the
Alaska statehood bill by a vote of 64-20.
In 1963, Pope Paul VI was crowned
the 262nd head of the Roman Catholic
Church.
In 1971, a Soviet space mission ended
in tragedy when three cosmonauts
aboard Soyuz 11 were found dead of
asphyxiation inside their capsule after it
had returned to Earth.

blood drives and community food giveaways.
Taped to the poster board
were thank you notes
written to businesses
which had purchased
animals at last year’s livestock sale.
Above a collage of
members’ smiling faces
was the caption, “This is
what 4-H looks like.”
Hanging around the
fair on Friday afternoon,
I heard little discussion of the pandemic
still gripping a nation
that has lost more than
125,000 Americans to
the virus. It’s been a long
few months, and this fair
offered residents a chance
to get away from the
debates about masks and
the never-ending politicization of the contagious
disease.
Well, I did see one politician who strode around
the pavilion. He’d “traveled” to Circleville all the
way from Illinois, speaking about the election …
of 1864, not 2020. An
Abraham Lincoln impersonator tipped his top hat
to those he passed, taking
photographs with curious, but amused children.
Two other gentlemen
entertained those on the
pavilion. A father and son
magician duo who perform by the name of “The
Almost Amazing Rex and
Dana” had just ﬁnished
up a set at the amphitheater. As they walked by, a
family that had seen the
show asked about one of
their tricks.
“Hey,” a man called out
to Rex and Dana, “you
turned $1s into $100s.
Can you turn $5s into
$500s?”
“Well,” Dana answered,
“the $1s are just a warmup.”
The magicians delivered an impromptu show
at the family’s table. They
replicated the trick, with
Dana turning Washingtons into Benjamins.
He handed a woman
one of the $100 bills.
“Usually at the shows,
we give a $100 (bill)
away,” he said, then
snatching the money
back. “Unfortunately,
only at our shows.”
Then they rattled off a
few quick-hit card tricks.
The family was thoroughly entertained, laughing
along with each illusion.
It’s a testament to
the weirdness of 2020
that a close-up magic

show, with dollar bills
transforming and cards
disappearing, felt almost
normal. Even just for a
few minutes.
Then the magicians
packed up and left. Over
the public address system came a warning to
keep our hands clean.
During a pandemic,
you can only escape reality for so long.
Shortly after I left the
fairgrounds, Friday’s
virus statistics were
publicized. These were
even worse than the
day before. The state
reported 987 new cases,
the largest one-day total
Ohio had seen besides
when mass testing was
conducted at prisons like
Pickaway Correctional.
We’re now living in a
paradox. Cases, hospitalizations and deaths are
still rising precipitously,
all while society attempts
to carry on with public
events — with warning
signs and hand sanitizers
and all.
“It’s not normal.
Nothing is normal,” an
organizer inside the Fair
Board ofﬁce told me,
describing a week-long
fair held during a pandemic.
Yet, just a few hundred
feet away from the ofﬁce
were games, rides, families, laughter.
DeWine and other
public ofﬁcials continue
to implore Ohioans to
take the virus seriously. Meanwhile, with
the weather warm and
patience growing thin,
many are returning to a
more comfortable sense
of normalcy. Of cotton
candy, of traditions, of
community.
As I headed back up
Route 23, I kept thinking back to the poster of
magicians Rex and Dana
resting on the pavilion.
It included a motto of
Rex’s, the father of the
duo.
“If you can’t have fun,
you might as well stay
home.”

Hamlin caps day of racing at Pocono with 4th win
LONG POND, Pa. (AP)
— Round 2 at Pocono
went to Denny Hamlin.
Hamlin seized the spotlight, speciﬁcally in victory lane when Pocono had
to set up lights after the
race ended in the dark.
Hamlin topped Kevin
Harvick on Sunday night
to win the second Cup
race of the weekend at
Pocono Raceway and ﬂip
the result of the opener.
The 1-2 ﬁnish out of each
driver is a clear sign two
of the best drivers in the
game are poised again
to make a championship
push.
Hamlin says, bring it
on.
“We just want to get
to the ﬁnal four with a
chance,” Hamlin said.

Hamlin has four wins
this season for Joe Gibbs
Racing and Harvick has
three for Stewart-Haas
Racing as they start to
separate themselves from
the rest of the ﬁeld.
Hamlin is racking up
milestones as he chases
his ﬁrst NASCAR Cup
championship. Hamlin
has 41 victories to move
to 19th on NASCAR’s
career list and his sixth
win at Pocono matched
Jeff Gordon for most at
the 2½ mile tri-oval track.
“It’s hard to believe
because we went through
such a dry spell there in
the middle of my career,”
Hamlin said about his
Pocono results.
Hamlin raced to his
fourth victory of the

season to cap a wild,
marathon day of racing
at the track, with three
NASCAR races and nightfall in the ﬁnale. Pocono
doesn’t have lights — but
the pit road numbers
were lit up and glowed
as Hamlin won for the
second straight year at
Pocono.
Hamlin had a late
vibration in his No. 11
Toyota on Saturday that
hindered his attempt to
catch Harvick down the
stretch. About 25 hours
later, Hamlin surged past
Harvick and built a nearly
3-second lead once the
SHR driver got caught up
in lapped trafﬁc.
“Our car was actually
better today than it was
yesterday,” Harvick said.

“We had to run in a lot of
trafﬁc there and Denny
kept ticking off laps.”
The Daytona 500 champion’s victory capped the
ﬁrst NASCAR tripleheader at one track. The race
was delayed by lightning
and rain, as much a part
of Pocono as a JGR driver
taking the checkered ﬂag.
Gibbs’ roster has six of
the last seven winners at
Pocono.
“I hate to feel disappointed in a second and
a ﬁrst, but man, I felt like
I should have won both
races,” Hamlin said.
They ran six laps
before the race was redﬂagged nearly 51 minutes
because or rain. NASCAR
ran several pace laps
before the race ﬁnally

went green around 6:15
p.m. It was a race against
darkness to complete the
full 350 miles.
Harvick won Saturday’s
race and put the brakes
on a burnout — he had
to save that engine for
another run in the same
No. 4 Ford. The starting
lineup was inverted for
Sunday’s race so Harvick
started 20th.
Erik Jones was third,
Chase Elliott fourth and
Aric Almirola was ﬁfth.
The rain wreaked havoc
with the third NASCAR
race of the day at Pocono.
Brandon Jones opened
the day with a win in
the Truck Series race
and Chase Briscoe won
the Xﬁnity race. Pocono
became the ﬁrst track in

NASCAR history to hold
three national series races
on the same day.
Harvick was a fan of
the Cup doubleheader
format.
“I think everybody
would be super happy
with a much shorter season and multiple doubleheaders,” Harvick said.
NASCAR’s hope to
capitalize on being about
the only major sport to
run live every week with
sports on pause in the
wake of the coronavirus pandemic has been
besieged by weather
issues. Sunday marked
the ninth race out of
15 this season with a
weather delay and three

The NBA is coming
back, and here’s
10 things to know
By Tim Reynolds
Associated Press

The deals are done. The NBA is coming back.
The season will resume on July 30 at Disney’s
ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Florida.
Here are 10 things to know about the restarted
season:
The race for 8
There are six teams in the race for the No. 8
seed in the Western Conference — Memphis,
Portland, New Orleans, Sacramento, San Antonio
and Phoenix. (Technically, Dallas is also in that
race, though the Mavericks need only one win and
one Memphis loss to clinch no worse than the No.
7 spot.)
There are seven games where those six teams
will go head-to-head, including four featuring the
Pelicans — who play Sacramento twice, Memphis
once and San Antonio once. The other games:
Sacramento vs. San Antonio, Memphis vs. San
Antonio and Portland vs. Memphis.
Phoenix doesn’t play any of the other ﬁve teams
in the race for eighth.
The Grizzlies start with a 3 1/2-game lead over
Portland, New Orleans and Sacramento, along
with a four-game edge on San Antonio. Unless the
Grizzlies open up space on all four of those clubs,
it seems likely that there will be a best-of-two playin series for the ﬁnal spot in the West playoffs and
a probable ﬁrst-round matchup with LeBron James
and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The play-in games will take place if the ninthplace team in either conference is within four
games of eighth when the seeding round ends.
In the East, it’s a bit simpler. No. 7 Brooklyn is
six games ahead of Washington and No. 8 Orlando
is 5-1/2 games clear of the Wizards in the race to
clinch a berth and avoid a play-in series. None of
those teams can move past the No. 7 spot on the
East bracket.
Magic numbers
Milwaukee needs a combination of two wins
or Toronto losses to clinch the No. 1 seed in the
East. The Lakers need a combination of three wins
or Los Angeles Clippers losses to clinch the No. 1
spot out West.
Denver also has a mathematical chance at the
No. 1 seed out West — but would need to go 8-0
and have the Lakers go 0-8 for that to happen.
Most of the races at Disney will be for seeding. Milwaukee cannot ﬁnish lower than No. 2 in
the East and Toronto needs only one win to be
assured of a top-four seed. The West can still see
some shakeups, with four games separating second place from sixth place and only 2 1/2 games
separating fourth place from seventh.
Heat check
Miami had a league-high eight games remaining
against the eight teams that didn’t qualify for the
Disney restart.
Now the Heat will have a ﬁght on their hands
just to hang onto the No. 4 spot in the East.
Miami plays Boston, Denver, Indiana twice,
Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Toronto and Phoenix
in the seeding games. That schedule ranks harder
than Indiana’s or Philadelphia’s — the Pacers and
76ers both will head to Disney two games behind
the Heat in the East standings.
Orlando and the Lakers both saw seven games
against the eight Disney-non-qualiﬁers canceled,
tied for second-most in the league behind Miami.
Memphis had the fewest such games lost, with
just one — a matchup against New York.

Dustin Johnson poses with the trophy after winning the Travelers Championship golf tournament at TPC River Highlands, in Cromwell,
Conn., on Sunday.

Johnson wins Travelers to extend season streak
CROMWELL, Conn.
(AP) — Dustin Johnson
won the Travelers Championship on Sunday to
end a long drought and
extend his career-long
season victory streak to
13.
Johnson closed with
a 3-under 67 for a onestroke victory over Kevin
Streelman at fan-free
TPC River Highlands.
Johnson last won in Mexico City in March 2019.
“I’m deﬁnitely proud
of myself for continuing
the streak and I want to
keep it going,” Johnson
said. “It was a long time
between wins, though,
and, so, hopefully it
won’t be that long for the
next one.”
Arnold Palmer and
Jack Nicklaus each won
in 17 consecutive years.
Johnson failed to win
in 2014, but is given
credit for winning in the
2013-14 season from his
victory in the fall of 2013
in Shanghai. The tour
changed to a wraparound
season in 2013.
Johnson tapped in
for par on the par-4
18th, raised his ball to
acknowledge the smattering of applause from
course workers, ofﬁcials
and reporters, the only
in-person witnesses
allowed because of the
coronavirus pandemic.
He ﬁnished at 19-under
261 for his 21st PGA

Tour title.
Streelman also shot 67.
Streelman, who made
seven straight birdies
to win at TPC River
Highlands in 2014, had
a 37-foot birdie try on 18
that ended up just short
and right.
He was two strokes
behind Johnson on the
17th fairway when the
weather horn blew for an
hour-long storm delay.
Johnson came out of
the delay and hit his tee
shot on 16 into a greenside bunker. His second
shot went well past the
hole and made bogey to
cut his lead to a stroke.
“I’ve had a few missed
cuts, so to come back
and ﬁnish a solo second
is nice, but to to be that
close and perform and
be right there, I’m just a
little disappointed right
now,” Streelman said.
Johnson was at 19
under when his tee shot
on the par-4 15th went
left and came inches
from going into the
signature lake that surrounds the ﬁnishing
holes. His ﬁrst pitch
didn’t make it to the
green, and he hit the second to 4 feet to save par.
“It was lucky, but a
still had to made a good
up-and-down to make
par,” he said.
Mackenzie Hughes,
who shot a ﬁrst-round
60, had a 67 to tie for

third with 23-year-old
Will Gordon at 17 under.
Hughes made 48-foot
birdie putt on 17, which
he started well left of
the hole and watched as
turned right to the ﬂag.
He ﬁnished the round
with a much straighter
43-foot birdie putt on 18.
Gordon, who had no
status on either the PGA
Tour or the Korn Ferry
Tour, had seven birdies
in a 64. The ﬁnish was
just enough to give him
a special temporary card
and unlimited exemptions for the rest of the
season.
His lone bogey came
on 17, and brieﬂy
dropped him to fourth
place.
“I knew the higher the
better, so I was watching
the leaderboard coming
in,” he said.
Johnson started the
day two strokes behind
Brendon Todd, and
took the lead after three
straight birdies put him
at 20 under after 10
holes.
Todd shot a 75 to tie
for 11th at 13 under. He
made a 7 on the par-4
12th.
Bryson DeChambeau
shot a 68 to tie for sixth
at 15 under.
Top-ranked Rory McIlroy tied for 11th at 13
under after a 67.
“There’s been some
really good stuff in

there, but then just some
really stupid mistakes,”
he said.
Phil Mickelson, playing his ﬁrst tournament
since turning 50, followed up his opening
rounds of 64 and 63 with
two 71s to ﬁnish at 11
under.
“I’m looking at this
week as progress,” he
said. “Certainly the goal
is to win golf tournaments, but keep in mind
I’ve missed a bunch of
cuts. I haven’t played to
the level I’ve wanted to,
and this week I came in
and had a lot of great
ﬁnds. I hit a lot of good
shots, hit a lot of good
tee shots. My misses
were much better.”
There were seven
COVID-19-related
withdrawals from the
Connecticut event,
with two positive tests
among players. Cameron
Champ withdrew Tuesday and Denny McCarthy had a positive test
on Friday.
The PGA Tour is
making some tweaks
to its coronavirus policies as a result of this
week’s issues. Players,
caddies and anyone else
considered “inside the
bubble” will have to test
negative before being
allowed on the grounds
of the Detroit Golf Club
for the Rocket Mortgage
Classic.

Pats fined $1.1M, lose pick for filming game last season

From page 6

NEW YORK (AP) — The
New England Patriots have
been ﬁned $1.1 million by the
NFL for inappropriately ﬁlming the Cincinnati Bengals’
sideline during a game last
season.
On Sunday, the league also
took away a third-round pick in

have been moved a full
day. It’s hard to keep TV
viewers interested when
its a parade of Air Titans
instead of a mad dash to
the checkered ﬂag.
Pocono is notorious for
rainy weekends and in
2016 had two Cup races
and an IndyCar race all
washed out and run on
Monday. The “Need Help
or Info?” signs around
the track went unneeded
as the only thing in the
grandstands was rain.
It put yet another
damper on seven-time
Jimmie Johnson’s farewell
season. Johnson, a threetime winner at Pocono,
was honored by the track
over the weekend. Pocono
painted “Jimmie” on one
side of the start/ﬁnish
line, added a painted “48
Jimmie Johnson” rock to
their inﬁeld collection of
race legends, and his two
young daughters gave the
command for the driver’s
to start their engines. He
ﬁnished 16th.
But he also gave some
inspiration to Hamlin.
“Maybe one day I’ll get
one of those black rocks
they’ve got here for all
those good guys that have
won it,” Hamlin said.
He might get the rock,
esepcially if he can pass
Hall of Famer Gordon.
The 39-year-old Hamlin
feels he has plenty of time
and talent left in the tank
to set that mark.
“I don’t think this is the
last one,” Hamlin said.

All 22 teams will be

arena is about 20 miles

The Magic simply see
it as doing their part to
make the restart happen.
“We appreciate the
leadership of NBA
Commissioner Adam
Silver, our longtime
partner, Disney, and
our local leaders in this
unprecedented time,”
Orlando Magic CEO
Alex Martins said. “We
look forward to providing assistance as needed

OHIO BRIEFS

Marker
vandalized

FRANKLIN, Ohio
(AP) — A vandal or
vandals over the weekend
spray-painted a marker

honoring Confederate
Gen. Robert E. Lee in the
southwest Ohio city of
Franklin.
WHIO-TV reports they
also wrote “no racist
monuments” on the road
in front of the marker,

which was moved from
alongside a public highway in the aftermath of
the deadly 2017 violence
over Confederate statues
in Charlottesville, Virginia. It is now on private
property at a Fraternal

Order of the Eagles chapter.
Franklin resident Brian
Morris told WHIO he
spent part of his Sunday
cleaning the monument.
He said: “I did it silently because hopefully this
person feels better and
got this out of their system and we can all move

forward while respecting each other’s views,
regardless of what they
might be.”
During debates over
the marker, defenders of
the marker said it was
part of Franklin’s history.
However, Lee’s main connection to Ohio was with
the killing of Ohioans in

Little Caesars
workers fired
BROOK PARK, Ohio
(AP) — Two employees
were ﬁred after an Ohio
couple who purchased
a pizza at Little Caesars
found pepperonis had
been placed to form a
backward swastika.
Misty and Jason Laska
made the discovery when
they opened the box that
they had purchased at the
store on Smith Road on
Saturday.
Misty Laska posted a
photo on Twitter. “I’m
truly disappointed. This
is truly saddening and
disturbing and not funny
at all!” she wrote.
The Laskas said they
tried calling the store,
but were unable to reach
anyone.
“We’re trying to solve
hate, and even if this was
just a joke internally for
the employees, just stop.
Stop with the symbolism,
and let it go away,” Jason
Laska told WOIO-TV.

KETTERING, Ohio
(AP) — A man who
refused orders to drop a
gun and ﬁred at ofﬁcers
responding to a domestic
violence call has been
shot and killed, an Ohio
police chief said Monday.
The shooting occurred
Sunday night in the Dayton suburb of Kettering.
Kettering police are conducting their own investigation into the fatal
shooting of man identiﬁed as James Tober Sr.,
Chief Christopher Protsman said.
Protsman said Monday
that, based on a preliminary investigation, the
two ofﬁcers who ﬁred
their weapons acted
properly, The Dayton
Daily News reported.
According to Protsman, gunﬁre can be
heard in the background
of a 911 call from
Tober’s wife, who said
Tober was having mental
issues.
