Temporary trafﬁc signals and an 11 foot width restriction will be in place. Estimated completion: November 20, 2020 States rush to line up hospital beds By Tamara Lush and John Seewer Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Florida and other states across the Sunbelt are thinning out the deck chairs, turning over the barstools and rushing to line up more hospital beds as they head into the height of the summer season amid a startling surge in conﬁrmed cases of the coronavirus. With newly reported infections running at around 40,000 a day in the U.S., Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, warned on Tuesday that the number could rocket to 100,000 if Americans don’t start following public health recommendations. Over the past few days, states such as Florida, Arizona, Texas and California have reversed course, closing or otherwise clamping down on bars, shutting beaches, rolling back restaurant capacity, putting limits on crowds at pools, or taking other steps to curb a scourge that may be thriving because of such factors as air conditioning and resistance to wearing masks. “Any time you have these reopenings, you’re depending on people to do the right things, to follow the rules. I think that’s where the weak spots come in,” said Dr. Cindy Prins, a University of Florida epidemiologist. She warned that things are likely to get worse before they get better. New conﬁrmed cases in Florida have spiked over the past week, especially in younger people, who may be more likely to survive COVID-19 but can spread it to the Sunshine State’s many vulnerable older residents. The state on Tuesday reported more than 6,000 new cases. More than 8,000 were recorded on each of three days late last week. Deaths have climbed past 3,500. Floridians ages 15 to 34 now make up 31% of all cases, up from 25% in early June. Last week, more than 8,000 new cases were reported in that age group, compared with about 2,000 among people 55 to 64 years old. Hospital intensive care units are starting to ﬁll up in South Florida, with a steadily increasing number of patients requiring ventilators. Miami’s Bap- Marcio Jose Sanchez | AP Motorists line up at a coronavirus testing site at Dodger Stadium on Monday in Los Angeles. California is among several Sunbelt states that are experiencing a surge of coronavirus infections that have forced renewed closures. tist Hospital had only six of its 82 ICU beds available, ofﬁcials said. Hard-hit Arizona called on hospitals to increase their number of beds for a surge of patients and to fully staff their facilities. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey shut down bars, movie theaters and gyms and banned groups larger than 10 at swimming pools. Air conditioning could be a factor in hot-weather states where new cases have been spiking, because it recirculates air instead of bringing it in fresh from outside, said Dr. Kristin Englund, an infectious-disease physician at Cleveland Clinic. “I deﬁnitely think the air conditioning and the oppressive heat in the South is going to play a role in this,” she said. The coronavirus has been blamed for over a half-million deaths worldwide, including about 130,000 in the U.S., where the number of new cases per day has soared over the past month, primarily in the South and West. “I would not be surprised if we go up to to 100,000 a day if this does not turn around, and so I am very concerned,” Fauci said on Capitol Hill. Van Johnson, mayor of the tourism-dependent city of Savannah, Georgia, population 145,000, announced he is requiring the wearing of masks, with violators subject to $500 ﬁnes. Savannah becomes one of the ﬁrst cities in Georgia to take such a step. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has largely prohibited local governments from imposing rules stricter than the state’s. The new round of shutdowns around the country is likely to cause another spike in layoffs. Nikki Forsberg said she is relying on government loans to keep aﬂoat the Old Ironhorse Saloon, the only bar in the Texas Hill Country town of Blanco, after it was closed for two months beginning in mid-March and then shut down again on Friday by the governor’s order. She said money got so tight for some of her eight employees during the ﬁrst shutdown that she told them to go the bar and take whatever they needed — petty cash, toilet paper, even one of the refrigerators. “That’s how desperate it got,” she said. “By the time we had opened back up, we had stripped the bar of all the non-liquor inventory.” Health ofﬁcials say the next several weeks will be critical in Florida. The Fourth of July, the reopening of Walt Disney World on July 11, and the Republican National Convention in Jacksonville at the end of August promise to draw crowds and create the potential for person-to-person spread. While cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg and Sarasota have mandated masks, some people in Florida have been resistant. Zoe Mitchell wasn’t wearing a mask as she tucked into a salad in St. Petersburg. The 26-yearold bartender said that if people are worried, “they should stay home.” In The Villages retirement community near Orlando, tension has developed among residents who wear masks and those who don’t. And the split has been along political lines. Ira Friedman, who along with wife, Ellen, is active in the local Democratic Party, said that at ﬁrst, he would just make an exaggerated cough to get his point across if he saw someone without a mask. But he said he has become more vocal about it as the number of cases has grown. “Unfortunately, we don’t ﬁnd that the Republicans are following the same protocols as we are,” his wife said. Elsewhere around the world, the European Continent will reopen on Wednesday to visitors from 14 countries — but not the U.S. The European Union also kept its ban in place for visitors from China and from countries such as Russia, Brazil and India where infections are running high. “We have to remain vigilant and keep our most vulnerable safe,” tweeted European Council President Charles Michel. President Donald Trump suspended the entry of most Europeans in March. Americans make up a big share of Europe’s tourism industry, and summer is a key period. More than 15 million Americans travel to Europe each year, while some 10 million Europeans head across the Atlantic. The news was a blow to struggling shopkeepers hoping for a summertime boom. “Americans were 50% of my clientele,” lamented Paola Pellizzari, who owns a mask and jewelry shop on the Saint-Louis island in the heart of Paris and heads its business association. “We can’t substitute that clientele with another.” �NEWS/WEATHER Ohio Valley Publishing Wednesday, July 1, 2020 3 As virus roars back, so do signs of a new round of layoffs By Paul Wiseman, Travis Loller and Kelli Kennedy pension or reversal of re-openings of bars, hotels, restaurants and Associated Press other businesses — is endangering hopes for WASHINGTON — The an economic rebound in the region and perhaps reopening of Tucson’s nationally.

Yeefoon reopened his Dallas restaurant June 10 to “a pretty good reception” after having been shuttered for three months. The comeback was fleeting. After four days, Yeefoon had to shut down again in the face of a COVID-19 resurgence in Texas and lay off two of the four workers he’d brought back. on Monday. The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest that people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick. The governors began to backtrack. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last week ordered all bars closed. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey told residents to stay home and declared that the state was “on before their states had met reopening guidelines that were set — yet largely shrugged off — by the White House. Reported infections quickly spiked. From April 9 to June 8, the ﬁve-day daily average of conﬁrmed new cases had dropped from 32,150 to below 19,400. Then it began rising again, surging past the April level to nearly 42,100 on Sunday before dipping to 41,000 the economy before the pandemic had been contained. “We’re still in a very deep hole,’’ said Diane Swonk, chief economist at the ﬁrm Grant Thornton. “This makes the June employment report backward-looking instead of forward-looking.’’ Eager to jump-start their economies, governors in several states across the Sun Belt had lifted their lockdowns pause’’ as the COVID cases stacked up. Florida also banned alcohol consumption at its bars. Kylie Davis, a 23-yearold bartender in Tampa, Florida, had returned to work May 23 after two months without a job, struggling to collect unemployment beneﬁts from Florida’s backlogged system. The tips, she said, were good. “People were so understanding,” she said, “that we had been out of work for a while and were extremely generous.” Yet after a few weeks, Davis was coughing and exhausted and had lost her sense of taste and smell. On June 12, she tested positive for the virus and couldn’t return to work when Florida bars reopened. Neither, it turns out, could many others. As Florida’s reported cases spiked to record highs the past two weeks, with 9,000 cases recorded in one day last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered bars to shut down again. And just like that, Davis and others found themselves unemployed for the second time this year. Biden: Trump has failed at home on virus, abroad with Putin By Bill Barrow and Alexandra Jaffe Associated Press WILMINGTON, Del. — Joe Biden took aggressive aim Tuesday at President Donald Trump’s ﬁtness for the Oval Ofﬁce, suggesting he has abdicated his duty to protect U.S. troops facing Russian enemies abroad and American citizens facing a pandemic and economic calamity at home. Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, told reporters Trump has “a lot to answer for” concerning news reports that he was advised as early as March 2019 of intelligence that suggested Russia was offering bounties to the Taliban for the deaths of Americans.

The 77-year-old Biden also used Trump’s explanations – that he didn’t know about any such intelligence reports – to turn the tables on the president’s frequent mockery of Biden’s mental acuity. Biden said Trump, 74, “doesn’t seem to be cognitively aware,” and he embraced the possibility of general election debates. “I can hardly wait to compare my cognitive capability to the cognitive capability of the man I’m running against,” Biden said.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Tuesday that President Donald Trump had been briefed on the intelligence, a day after saying he hadn’t because it had not been verified. Trump faces pressure over Russia bounties to kill troops WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday came under growing pressure to respond to allegations that Russia offered bounties for killing American troops in Afghanistan, with Democrats demanding answers and accusing Trump of bowing to Russian President Vladimir Putin at the risk of U.S. soldiers’ lives. Frustrated House Democrats returning from a brieﬁng at the White House said they learned nothing new about American intelligence assessments that suggested Russia was making overtures to militants as the U.S. and the Taliban held talks to end the conﬂict in Afghanistan. Senate Republicans who attended a separate brieﬁng largely defended the president, arguing along with the White House that the intelligence was unveriﬁed. The intelligence assessments were ﬁrst reported by The New York Times, then conﬁrmed to The Associated Press by American intelligence ofﬁcials and others with knowledge of the matter. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Tuesday that Trump had been briefed on the intelligence, a day after saying he hadn’t because it had not been veriﬁed. McEnany added that there were still reservations within the intelligence community on the veracity of the allegations, and insisted that Trump would act to safeguard American forces. “Make no mistake. This president will always protect American troops,” she said. Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and a small group of other House Democrats met with White House ofﬁcials as Trump downplayed the allegations and aides said he had not been briefed on them. The Democrats questioned why Trump wouldn’t have been briefed sooner and pushed White House ofﬁcials to have the president make a strong statement about the matter. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, one of the Demo- crats who attended the brieﬁng, said it was “inexplicable” why Trump won’t say publicly that he is working to get to the bottom of the issue and why he won’t call out Putin. He said Trump’s defense that he hasn’t been briefed is inexcusable. “Many of us do not understand his afﬁnity for that autocratic ruler who means our nation ill,” Schiff said. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., a freshman and former Navy helicopter pilot and Russia policy ofﬁcer, said White House chief of staff Mark Meadows briefed the group. She said the Democrats told the White House briefers that the president should make a statement. “These are very concerning allegations and if they’re true, Russia is going to face repercussions,” Sherrill said. “We really pushed that strongly in the meeting.” She wouldn’t say how the White House ofﬁcials reacted or say if the briefers told the Democrats that in fact Trump had been briefed.

Zimmerman and pitcher Joe Ross are opting out of playing the 2020 season as Major League Baseball tries to get back amid the COVID-19 pandemic. General manager Mike Rizzo says the team is 100% supportive of Zimmerman and Ross deciding not to play. PHOENIX (AP) — A small group of players, including Nationals slugger Ryan Zimmerman and Rockies outﬁelder Ian Desmond, have announced they plan to sit out this season. The Minnesota Twins have shufﬂed their on-ﬁeld staff to protect the health of some of their older coaches. As the sport lurches toward a late July start during the coronavirus crisis, roster ﬂexibility and organizational depth will be key. Zimmerman, who told The Associated Press last week he still was deciding whether to play this year, ultimately said having three young children, including a newborn, and a mother at higher risk because of multiple sclerosis factored into his decision. “Given the unusual nature of the season, this is the best decision for me and my family,” Zimmerman said. The 35-year-old Zimmerman, who has been with the Nationals since 2005, said he still is deciding on his future beyond this season. The two-time AllStar and 2009 Gold Glove winner has 270 career homers. Desmond cited his family as one reason why he decided to stay home for the upcoming 60-game season. But the biracial slugger also mentioned a myriad of issues within baseball, including racism, sexism, homophobia and socioeconomic concerns. “With a pregnant wife and four young children who have lots of questions about what’s going on in the world, home is where I need to be right now,” the 34-year-old Desmond wrote in an Instagram post. “Home for my wife, Chelsey. Home to help. Home to guide. Home to answer my older three boys’ questions about Coronavirus and Civil Rights and life. Home to be their Dad.” Desmond, who hit .255 with 20 homers in 140 games last season, had been due $5,555,556 for the prorated share of his $15 million salary, part of a $70 million, ﬁve-year contract. He is owed $8 million next year, and his deal includes a $15 million team option for 2022 with a $2 million buyout. See MLB | 7 NASCAR rolls on, through crisis and controversy CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The one thing NASCAR has always gotten right is its ability to keep the wheels turning. In crisis or coronavirus, the show ﬁnds its way to a race track and keeps plugging along. That has never been in doubt, at least not since 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died in a crash on the last lap of the Daytona 500. The next seven days were a blur of grief and outrage. Yet Earnhardt’s funeral was Thursday and everybody made it to Rockingham in time for Friday practice. The determination to race has been NASCAR’s greatest strength in the most tumultuous of times and that certainly includes the past several weeks. A garage door pulldown rope fashioned as a noose was found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. The FBI determined it had been there since last October and Wallace — who two weeks earlier helped prod NASCAR to ban the Confederate ﬂag at its races — was not the target of a hate crime. Still, the attention was unusually glaring — for Wallace, for NASCAR and for fans who feel they are defending Southern heritage, ﬂag and all. So NASCAR raced. By Monday, a full seven days after NASCAR stood in support behind Wallace during the national anthem at Talladega, three more Cup Series races had been completed. The conversation moved away from the noose, the ban and racial equality — for better and for worse. There was chatter about NASCAR’s unprecedented tripleheader at Pocono over the weekend, which also saw the Cup Series run consecutive points-paying races. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin went 1-2 in the ﬁrst race, then ﬂipped the order Sunday in what could be a preview of a stirring championship battle. Harvick, the points leader, and Hamlin, the Daytona 500 winner, have seven combined victories through 15 races and both have played a signiﬁcant role in NASCAR’s survival during the pandemic. Hamlin was a key player in the iRacing craze during NASCAR’s 10-week shutdown and has tirelessly remained front and center for the sport. Harvick resumed a national radio show while representing himself as a series champion. Both can feel the toll of this topsy-turvy season, in which NASCAR was one of the ﬁrst major sporting leagues to return to competition. Routines have been upended and replaced by a frenzied season of one-day shows, largely without fans — no practices, no qualifying and nine raininterrupted races, all in the shadow of the noose incident at Talladega. “It’s been a unique time,” Hamlin said. “Everything is just different. The way that we work our weeks, weekends, everything is different now. You’re trying to adapt to that. Then we have the whole thing going on with George Floyd. That sparked conversations and protests. We had the incident, we thought the incident, with Bubba. “I just want to get to racing and talking about racing,” he said. “It’s difﬁcult to ask us to be able to compartmentalize all this stuff. We’re race car drivers. To ask us our stance on public issues and things like that, we’re not always that good at it. We don’t always say the right thing.” Less than three months ago, star driver Kyle Larson used the N-word during an iRacing event. He was suspended by NASCAR, lost his job with his team and is currently racking up wins on sprint car tracks. That seems long ago now, but it was another controversy in a string of them. Will the conversation about race fade? No one is sure, just like no one is sure whether a sponsor will step up for Wallace’s underfunded Richard Petty Motorsports team. Either way, NASCAR will just keep moving, on to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this weekend See NASCAR | 7 Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Wahama senior Hannah Rose hammers out a home run during an April 2, 2019, softball contest against Eastern at Don Jackson Field in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.

This will help too.” WHS softball coach Chris Noble admits that it was difﬁcult to not have that ﬁnal season with Hannah on the squad, particularly since Wahama had high hopes of making a run at the state tournament. Noble would have preferred a different kind of send-off, but the secondyear mentor believes that Rose still has plenty of high-level softball accomplishments ahead of her. “I’m glad Hannah has the opportunity to play one last high school game and represent the Wahama Lady Falcons,” Noble said. “It was disheartening that she didn’t get to play her senior year. Hannah’s had a remarkable high school career and will be truly missed. I wish her well as she continues her softball journey at the University of Charleston.” This one game won’t make up for the lost memories created by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Rose believes that an event like this will help bring some closure for the players involved … including herself. “Softball has always been a part of my life since I was little and knowing I didn’t get to play my last season hurts. Just knowing that it was our last season, it was hard to just watch it slip away so easily,” Rose said. “Everyone was hoping that maybe after some time everything would go back to normal, but that never happened. I’m just glad I get to keep on playing for the next four years in college. “I’ve learned not to take things for granted because you never know when it could just be gone. Enjoy every minute of every day. I’m just thankful I get to wear my Wahama jersey one last ﬁnal time.” Point Pleasant’s Peyton Jordan was also selected to play in the Region IV North-South Classic at Buffalo High School. © 2020 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

He added that both coaches were disappointed. “I think we all know that we’re making the right decision, but that doesn’t mean it feels good,” Baldelli said. “It’s very, very challenging to even think about these sorts of things and have these conversations.” But they’re exactly the conversations that are being had at both the organizational and personal level across the MLB landscape. The defending World Series champion Nationals will begin their title defense without Zimmerman and pitcher Joe Ross, who also declined to play because of health concerns. “We are 100% supportive of their decision to not play this year,” Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said in a statement. “We will miss their presence in the clubhouse and their contributions on the ﬁeld.” Ross, 27, has ﬁve seasons of MLB experience. He appeared in 27 games last season. Zimmerman was due $740,741 and Ross $555,556 as prorated portions of their salaries, originally $2 million for the ﬁrst baseman and $1.5 million for the pitcher. If they are deemed high risk by team physicians, they would still get paid and receive service time. OVP SPORTS BRIEFS doubleheader featuring the nation’s two biggest auto racing series. Harvick, who in 2001 went from a Busch Series driver to Earnhardt’s replacement overnight, has never not been part of NASCAR’s nonstop grind. Perhaps at times its annoyed him, worn him down, even made him angry. Right now, being able to race is a gift not to be underappreciated. “I think our races have had a positive impact on the motorsports community every week. This was our 11th race since we’ve come back,” Harvick said. “Our industry has just done a great job, really been the leader in trying to help other sports ﬁgure out how they’re going to get back on track.” Going racing is what NASCAR does best. award-winning “When They See Us,” which dramatized the Central Park Five case, and the From page 5 Oscar-nominated documentary “13th.” adopted Black man in a “With his act of prowhite community, during DuVernay Kaepernick test, Colin Kaepernick my high school years.” ignited a national conKaepernick, born to a Writing on the six-epi- versation about race and white mother and Black sode series was complet- justice with far-reaching father, was adopted in ed in May, the streaming consequences for footWisconsin by a white ball, culture and for him, service said.

Daily Sentinel RACO discusses upcoming events RACINE — On June 23, the Racine Area Community Organization (RACO) held its monthly meeting. Tonja Hunter had opening prayer before dinner shared among the members and guests, at the Kathryn Hart Community Center in Racine. After dinner the scholarship recipients, Phoenix Cleland, Shelby Cleland, Trey McNickle, and Coltin Parker were presented with their scholarship checks. Following the presentation, the secretary read the minutes and details from the last RACO meeting. Afterwards, the treasurer’s report was presented and approved. The president began the meeting by greeting the members, sharing thank you cards from other scholarship recipients, and expressing gratitude for the success of the most recent Spring RACO Yard Sale, including all the volunteers who helped contribute items or services. All money made at the Spring yard sale will be used for scholarships for the 2021 Southern graduates. Next on the agenda was the RACO support for the Racine Independence Day Celebration on July 4, 2020. A vote for a RACO donation for various needs was motioned and approved. RACO donated $400 to the Racine Fire Department to help with cost of ﬁreworks, $150 for frog jump prizes, and $300 for parade prizes. The Racine July 4th parade lineup will start at 9 a.m. at Southern High School. There will be ﬁrst, second, and third prizes given for the following categories: ﬂoats, bicycles, walking units, horses, tractors, antique vehicles, and golf cart/ATV. Home National Bank will be sponsoring the ﬂoat category. Anyone wanting to be judged for any parade category is asked to be at Southern High School no later than 9:30 a.m. Next on the list at the meeting was a discussion about the RACO Fall Yard Sale. The event will take place on Sept. 2 through Sept. 4. Donations are TOPS meets being accepted and can be arranged by contacting Tonja Salser-Hunter 740508-0044, Sherry Werry 740-416-1324, or Kim Romine 740-992-7079. RACO is very thankful for such wonderful support from our community for all the donations we receive. RACO will plan to have an information booth at Racine’s Party in the Park on Sept. 10 through Saturday, Sept. 12 at Star Mill Park. RACO members decided to suspend their fall RACO games until possibly Spring of 2021. Due to COVID-19 and its impact on our local businesses RACO did not want to seek donations for this event at this time. Ron Russell led members in the Pledge of Allegiance to conclude the meeting. The next RACO meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the Kathryn Hart Community Center at Southern High School. New members are always welcome. TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) OH#2013 Tuppers Plains met for their weekly meeting at the St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. Judy Morgan, leader, called the meeting to order by calling for the TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) and KOPS (Keep off Pounds Sensibly) pledges. The group recited the Pledge to the ﬂag. There were 9 members present. After the group sang two TOPS songs, the weekly best weight loss winners were named: May Frost was best loser with Judy Morgan as second place. May Frost presented an article entitled, “11 Secret Ways to Live to be 100”. Leader, Judy Morgan read an article from the TOPS magazine called “Top 10 Ways to use the TOPS Magazine.” There was group discussion about both of the articles that were presented. It was announced that Speaker Erin Schilling, a nurse, will attend the meeting on July 20 to speak about nutrition. The group dismissed by singing the TOPS Enthusiasm Song and repeating the Helping Hand Circle poem. TOPS information can be obtained from TOPS.org, by calling leader Judy Morgan at 740-667-6641 or by contacting any TOPS member.
