AP-NORC POLL

Border woes dent Biden approval on immigration

increasing number of

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo testifies as Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill presides
Monday in the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin at the Hennepin County
Courthouse in Minneapolis. Chauvin is charged in the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd.

Police chief: Kneeling on
Floyd’s neck violated policy
By Amy Forliti
and Tammy Webber
Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS —
The Minneapolis police
chief testiﬁed Monday
that now-ﬁred Ofﬁcer
Derek Chauvin violated
departmental policy in
pinning his knee on
George Floyd’s neck and
keeping him down after
Floyd had stopped resisting and was in distress.
Continuing to kneel
on Floyd’s neck once he
was handcuffed behind
his back and lying on
his stomach was “in no
way, shape or form” part
of department policy or
training, “and it is certainly not part of our ethics or our values,” Police
Chief Medaria Arradondo said on Day Six of
Chauvin’s murder trial.
Arradondo, the city’s
ﬁrst Black chief, ﬁred
Chauvin and three other
ofﬁcers the day after
Floyd’s death last May,
and in June called it
“murder.”
While police have long

been accused of closing
ranks to protect fellow
members of the force
who have been accused
of wrongdoing — the
“blue wall of silence,”
as it’s known — some
of the most experienced
members of the Minneapolis department have
taken the stand to openly
condemn Chauvin’s treatment of Floyd.
As jurors watched
in rapt attention and
scribbled notes, Arradondo testiﬁed not only
that Chauvin, a 19-year
veteran of the force,
should have let Floyd up
sooner, but that the pressure on Floyd’s neck did
not appear to be light to
moderate, as called for
under the department’s
neck-restraint policy; that
Chauvin failed in his duty
to render ﬁrst aid before
the ambulance arrived;
and that he violated
policy requiring ofﬁcers
to de-escalate tense situations if they can to avoid
or minimize the use of
force.
“That action is not

de-escalation,” the police
chief said. “And when we
talk about the framework
of our sanctity of life and
when we talk about our
principles and the values
that we have, that action
goes contrary to what we
are talking about.”
On cross-examination,
Chauvin attorney Eric
Nelson asked Arradondo
the last time he actually
arrested a suspect.
“It’s been many years,”
the chief acknowledged.
Arradondo’s testimony
came after the emergency room doctor who
pronounced Floyd dead
testiﬁed that he theorized
at the time that Floyd’s
heart most likely stopped
because of a lack of oxygen.
Dr. Bradford Langenfeld, who was a senior
resident on duty that
night at Hennepin County
Medical Center and tried
to resuscitate Floyd, took
the stand as prosecutors
sought to establish that
it was Chauvin’s knee on
the Black man’s neck that
killed him.

HRs, Kendall
lead Rio Grande
past Eagles
By Randy Payton
For Ohio Valley Publishing

WILMORE, Ky. — Jesse Watson and Eli Daniels
both hit home runs to back another strong pitching performance from Zach Kendall as the University of Rio Grande upended Asbury University,
6-2, Friday afternoon, in River States Conference
baseball action at Cecil C. Zweifel Field.
The RedStorm won for a fourth straight time,
improving to 12-21 overall and 5-8 in conference
play.
Asbury dropped to 21-8 overall and 8-5 inside
the RSC.
Watson, a senior from Las Cruces, N.M., gave
Rio a lead it would never relinquish with a twoout, two-run home run in the ﬁrst inning against
Asbury starter Will McDonald and, after the
Eagles got one of the runs back in the bottom of
the frame on a home run by Trevor Campbell,
Daniels — a senior from Minford, Ohio — led off
the second with his ﬁrst homer of the season to
make it 3-1.
That was all the help that Kendall would need.
The graduate senior right-hander from Troy,
Ohio authored his second straight complete game
effort for his ﬁfth victory in eight decisions. He
allowed ﬁve hits and a walk, while striking out
eight.
Over the course of his last three outings, Kendall is 2-1 with a 2.52 earned run average with 18
hits, three walks and 30 strikeouts over 25 innings
pitched.
Asbury closed the gap to 3-2 in the fourth inning
when C.J. Compton singled, Matthew Baker
doubled and a passed ball allowed Compton to
score, but the RedStorm pulled away with two
runs in the seventh inning and another marker in
the ninth.

Wahama tames Lady Wildcats, 60-14
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com

MASON, W.Va. — All Lady Falcons, from start to ﬁnish.
The Wahama girls basketball
team built leads of 4-0, 14-1 and
25-3 in the opening eight minutes
of play and never looked back Friday night during a 60-14 victory
over visiting Hannan in a non-conference matchup of Mason County
programs at Gary Clark Court.
The host Lady Falcons (7-7)
needed exactly four minutes to
produce the same amount of offensive output that the Lady Wildcats
(1-8) mustered over the course of
regulation.
A pair of Torre VanMatre free
throws at the 3:21 mark of the
opener gave the Red and White an

eventual uncatchable lead of 16-3.
WHS also had ﬁve of its six players score in the ﬁrst stanza while
building a 25-6 advantage.
Wahama opened the second
frame with ﬁve straight points,
but a Halie Johnson trifecta with
3:27 left in the half allowed HHS
to close to within 30-9. The hosts
added the ﬁnal three points of the
ﬁrst half and entered the break
with a comfortable 33-9 cushion.
The Blue and White were never
closer as the Lady Falcons received
six points from Emma Gibbs during a 14-2 third quarter surge that
pushed the lead out to 47-11. Wahama closed regulation with a 13-3
run to complete the 46-point outcome, its largest lead of the night.

Even where mask
mandates have
expired, businesses
taking no chances
By Joyce M. Rosenberg
AP Business Writer

NEW YORK — Several
weeks have passed since
Texas ended its COVID19 mask mandate. But
if you want to pick up
a snack at Soul Popped
Gourmet Popcorn in Austin’s Barton Creek Square
Mall, you’ll still be turned
away if you aren’t wearing
a face covering.
“We cannot afford
to take chances with
the lives of my staffers.
They’re young people
and their parents have
entrusted me with their
care,” says owner De J.
Lozada. She’s also concerned about her 85-yearold father, who will soon
return to his part-time job
in the store.
Eighteen states currently have no mask requirements, including some
that have never made face
coverings mandatory.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott
lifted his state’s mask
mandate on March 2, and
Indiana expects to end its
mandate on Tuesday.
But many business
owners like Lozada are
keeping their own rules
in place, requiring staffers
and customers alike to
wear masks for the sake
of protecting everybody,
particularly their employees.
And the law is on an
owner’s side. A company’s premises are private property, so owners
can insist that customers wear masks, just as
restaurants can require
that diners wear shoes
and shirts in order to
be served, says Michael
Jones, an attorney with
the law ﬁrm Eckert Seamans in Philadelphia.
“Storeowners, business
owners have the absolute
right to require customers, vendors, anyone who
comes onto their property
to wear a mask,” Jones
says. It’s legal as long
as owners don’t enforce
their requirements in a

departments in all three villages, as well as the
West Virginia State Police and Ohio Bureau of
Criminal Investigation are assisting with the case.
Wood said that interviews were being conducted on Sunday with possible witnesses and that
they were following leads.
Wood said he believes this was an isolated incident which may have stemmed from an argument
of some kind.
“I don’t believe there is a threat to others,” said
Wood.
Wood asked that anyone with information concerning the shooting or who may have seen something in the area to contact the sheriff’s ofﬁce at
740-992-3371, 9-1-1, or other local law enforcement agencies.

Some sun with a stray

mask, and they’d leave,”
she says. But requiring masks has brought
Briggle new customers,
including some who
canceled memberships at
spas where masks are not
required.
Even with masks, Briggle and her staff have had
three COVID-19 scares,
when clients called after
appointments to say
they’d tested positive for
the virus. The three therapists were taken off the
schedule and their clients
were notiﬁed. Neither the
therapists nor their clients tested positive.
But some owners don’t
want their customers or
clients to feel uncomfortable. When clients at
Vanessa Perry’s Houstonbased credit counseling
service ask if they can
take off their masks, she
says OK.
“We are keeping our
distance and letting our
clients do what makes
them comfortable,” says
Perry, owner of Impeccable Credit Services. Perry
and her staffers remain
masked.
But when a prospective client comes to
Justin Hill’s San Antonio,
Texas, law ofﬁce without
a mask, Hill takes them
out on the patio for their
conversation. He often
ﬁnds that when he and a
would-be client disagree
about masks, it’s a sign
that they might not work
well together on a case.

22 states. At this point,
masks to protect against
COVID-19 are as important as the eye and ear
protection that factory
workers must wear. But
she says Inteplast’s customers also need to be
protected.
“They are depending
on us to get the products
out. If we have an outbreak and that results
in losing manufacturing
capacity, then no one’s
going to win,” Wilson
says.
Many employees want
their bosses to require
masks. The 16 massage
therapists who work for
Amber Briggle cannot
maintain the recommended six-foot distance
from their clients and
still do their work. She
requires masks for everyone at her two Soma
Massage locations in
Denton, Texas. She told
her customers in a blog
post, “these same masks
have kept all of us healthy
since we reopened in
May — we haven’t had a
single COVID case transmitted here despite the
thousands of people we’ve
seen.”
When some clients
objected, saying they
wanted to be more comfortable and weren’t worried about safety, Briggle
has stood ﬁrm.
“I’ve told them, ‘you
can put your mask on or
you can leave.’ And they’d
leave. We’d offer them a

discriminatory way, he
says.
If a customer enters
a store without a mask,
is asked to leave and
doesn’t, that could be
trespassing under the law.
Lozada says she would
call 911 if faced with that
situation.
Most retail chains
require employees and
customers to wear masks.
One exception, Foot
Locker, says each store
is following the requirements of the state where
it’s located.
Employers have an
obligation under federal
law and some state laws
to provide a safe workplace for their employees, and that can include
requiring everyone on
the premises to wear
masks. In the COVID-19
section of its website,
the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration notes that employers are required to have
a workplace “free from
recognized hazards that
are causing or are likely
to cause death or serious
physical harm.”
When employees at
Inteplast Group question
why they have to wear
masks, managers at the
plastic products manufacturer can point to the
law, says Brenda Wilson,
senior director of human
resources and communications of the Livingston,

nearly a fifth of U.S. states don’t require people to wear masks to protect against COVID-19, some
businesses are requiring employees and customers to be masked on their premises.
