LIVING HISTORY SCHEDULE

lhart@aimmediamidwest.com

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — History comes alive this week in
Gallipolis during “Living History Nights.” Journey back in
time as the scholar and living
historians assume the role of
a notable historical Ohioan on
three consecutive evenings.
Previously the “Chautauqua”
style event was held in the Gallipolis City Park. This year the
event will be held indoors in
the Riverside Room of Bossard
Memorial Library, and has been
rebranded as “Living History
Nights.”
The event is sponsored by
the Gallipolis Chautauqua Committee and chaired by Bossard
Memorial Library Director Debbie Saunders.
“Our local committee decided
to do our own version of a
Chautauqua style event,” Saunders said, “We’ve re-branded
that as Living History Nights,
so it’s much like what our community members experienced in
the [past]. We felt like this better deﬁned what this local event
was going to be about.”
As previously reported in
the Gallipolis Daily Tribune,
this year visitors will get to
experience three separate
times in history from three different historical ﬁgures. Each

MIDDLEPORT — Middleport
Mayor Fred Hoffman recently
announced the Ohio Department
of Development has approved and
certiﬁed the village’s application to
become a Community Reinvestment
Area.
This process was started with the
village council passing Ord. No. 14322, after which Building Inspector
Mike Hendrickson and Hoffman put
together the information necessary
for the certiﬁcation.

“What this means is that anyone
who builds a new home within the
village can construct a new home for
their own residence and pay no property tax on the new construction for
a period of ten years,” Hoffman said
in a press release. “Also, if a person
does substantial remodeling on their
residential structure they do not have
to pay real estate tax on the improvements for a period of 10 years.”

In 1967, during the

Feds: Goodyear knew of defective RV tires as early as 2002
By Tom Krisher

mentation that there is a
distinct threat to public
safety should be against
the law,” said Brooks,
who added that several
states have such laws.
He said NHTSA should
have acted much sooner
after getting a solid case
from attorney David
Kurtz in a lawsuit against
Goodyear.
“I think that the documents that were handed
to them at the beginning
of the investigation were
enough to reach a very
quick conclusion,” said
Brooks, whose organization sued to get an Arizona judge to release lawsuit documents against
Goodyear.
Goodyear, he said, put
up a huge ﬁght. “There
was a lot of cat-andmouse going on with
Goodyear on this issue,”
Brooks said. “They’ve
effectively drawn out this
defect process so long
that they’re not going
to have to replace many
tires, and that was the
ultimate goal, to preserve
proﬁts.”
NHTSA’s statement did
not address why it took
more than ﬁve years for
the agency to seek a recall
in the case.
Goodyear’s statement
said the RV manufacturers who picked the G159
tire for their motorhomes
were responsible for communicating appropriate
load limits to their customers. The manufacturers that would have been
responsible for such communications are no longer
in business, the statement
said.

AP Auto Writer

DETROIT (AP) —
Nineteen years after the
last one was made, Goodyear has agreed to recall
more than 173,000 recreational vehicle tires that
the U.S. government says
can fail and have killed or
injured 95 people since
1998.
Goodyear’s G159 tires
have been under investigation by the National
Highway Trafﬁc Safety
Administration since
December of 2017. On
Tuesday the agency
posted documents on its
website saying that it had
pressured the company
into a recall.
Documents say the tire
tread can separate from
the body, causing drivers to lose control and
increasing the risk of a
crash.
The agency began
investigating the tires
nearly ﬁve years ago
after a judge ordered

data that had been sealed
under court orders and
settlement agreements.
Lawsuits and safety
advocates allege that the
tires were designed for
delivery trucks and not
for recreational vehicles
that travel at highway
speeds. They allege that
Goodyear kept the problems secret for years
by settling cases and
getting judges to seal
records.
The tires were made
from 1996 to 2003. The
death and injury numbers
were revealed in a 2018

Nine years after the last one was made, Goodyear has agreed to recall more than 173,000 recreational vehicle tires that the government
says can fail and have killed or injured 95 people since 1998.

inch rims to make sure
that G159 tires are not
on the vehicles. “If their
vehicle has these tires,
they should have this
recall completed as soon
as possible,” the statement said. The agency
said it found that the tires
experienced a high failure
rate when compared to
similar tires.
Michael Brooks, acting
executive director of the
nonproﬁt Center for Auto
Safety, said the Goodyear
case is one that exposes
every ﬂaw in the system
designed to keep unsafe
tires and vehicles off the
roads.
“Sealing off the docu-

public hearing and then
go to court to force a
company to do a recall.
Goodyear will replace
the tires with a newer
model at no cost to RV
owners. Owners of tires
used on other vehicles
can exchange them for
$500.
Goodyear said in government documents that
the RV makers who used
the tires are no longer in
business, so it does not
have access to registration data for the RVs with
the faulty tires.
NHTSA issued a statement urging anyone who
owns, rents or uses and
RV or truck with 22.5-

dards, and we have not
received an injury claim
related to the tire’s use
on a Class A motorhome
in more than 14 years,”
Goodyear said in a prepared statement.
Documents show that
the government safety
agency sent Goodyear a
letter requesting a recall
of the 22.5-inch diameter
tires on Feb. 22 of this
year, and the company
declined the request on
March 8. But Goodyear
later agreed to the recall
“to address concerns that
some of these tires may
still be in the marketplace
or in use.”
NHTSA must hold a

information request letter
to the Akron, Ohio, company. The agency did not
specify how many people
were killed in crashes
involving the tires.
Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Co., based in Akron,
Ohio, denied that the
tires have a safety defect
and said Tuesday that
few, if any, are still on the
road. The company said
it’s doing the recall to
address risks that happen
when the tires are underinﬂated or overloaded on
motorhomes.
“This tire hasn’t been
made since 2003, it consistently met Goodyear’s
demanding safety stan-

US Open to accept
Mickelson, all
eligible players
By Doug Ferguson
AP Golf Writer

Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson are welcome
to play the U.S. Open next week under a USGA
decision announced Tuesday that puts the open
nature of the championship over a player’s decision to play in a Saudi-funded rival league.
Mickelson and Johnson are among a dozen players in the LIV Golf Invitational this week who are
exempt for the U.S. Open on June 16-19 at The
Country Club outside Boston. Both have said they
plan to play the third major of the year.
Among other U.S. Open players who signed up
for the new league are Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen and Kevin Na.
“Regarding players who may choose to play in
London this week, we simply asked ourselves this
question — should a player who had earned his
way into the 2022 U.S. Open, via our published
ﬁeld criteria, be pulled out of the ﬁeld as a result
of his decision to play in another event? And
we ultimately decided that they should not,” the
USGA said.
That the U.S. Open chose not to deny entry was
not surprising. The second-oldest championship in
golf takes pride in the open nature of its 156-man
ﬁeld. None of the other four majors has criteria
in place that forces roughly 50% of the ﬁeld to go
through 36-hole qualifying.
“It’s one of the things that separates our Open
from everybody else. And if you don’t believe that,
watch what happened yesterday,” Mike Whan, the
CEO of the USGA, said in a telephone interview.
He was referring to 36-hole qualiﬁers for 49
spots that were held in eight American cities and
one in Canada. Three others were held previously
in Texas, Japan and England.
Criticism of the new league headed by Greg
Norman starts with the primary source of funding,
the sovereign wealth fund in Saudi Arabia, a country with an abysmal record on human rights, most
notably the killing of Washington Post columnist
Jamal Khashoggi.
“I realize people have strong points of view
and think perhaps there should be some morality
clause,” Whan said. “As I said to our team last
night, with more than 9,300 entrants for the U.S.
Open, if we decide what’s on their sleeve or their
bag or what tour they’re playing, what we think
is OK and not OK, I’m not sure that circle ever
stops.
“We don’t track personal beliefs and who funds
them,” he said. “It doesn’t mean we don’t care.”
The USGA said in its statement that who plays
next week at Brookline should not suggest the
organization supports an alternative tour or the
actions and comments of a player.
“Rather, it is simply a response to whether or
not the USGA views playing in an alternative
event, without the consent of their home tour,
an offense that should disqualify them for the US
Open.”
Johnson earned a 10-year exemption from his
2016 U.S. Open victory. Mickelson has a ﬁve-year
exemption from winning the PGA Championship
last year. Others, such as Na and Talor Gooch,
were among the top 60 in the world.
Johnson and Oosthuizen are among those who
have resigned their PGA Tour memberships. Mickelson could face discipline from the tour because
it did not authorize releases to play the LIV Golf
Invitational. Releases are required under PGA
Tour regulations.
If players are suspended by the PGA Tour, it
does not affect their standing in the U.S. Open,

as selected by the West
Virginia Sports Writers
Association.
“Mikie has had another
incredible season, both
pitching and offensively,”
admitted Noble, who
watched his ace go 21-2
with a 1.63 ERA and
269 strikeouts in 154 2-3
innings to go along with a
.644 average, 15 doubles,
10 triples, a dozen roundtrippers, 42 runs-batted-in
and 12 stolen bases. “She
has natural talent, plus
she puts in the work.”
For the second straight
spring, the White Falcons
had three players earn
a nod on the top unit
— battery mate Amber
Wolfe, a junior, and
senior shortstop Lauren
Noble.
Wolfe threw out 13 runners (38.1% caught stealing) and ﬁnished with a
.538 average, 17 doubles,
one triple, 12 home runs
and 56 RBIs. Noble, who
had just two errors and
ﬁelded .968, led WHS
with 57 runs-batted-in.

She had a .636 average,
15 doubles, one triple and
10 bombs.
“They have had an
incredible year,” said
the coach, whose team
ﬁnished 29-2. “Amber
behind the plate, she
really helps Mikie back
there.
“In my opinion, Amber
is the best catcher in the
state. Those three, I don’t
think they know how big
they are with the other
ones. They brought that
team together.”
Five other players
repeated on the ﬁrst team
and that included Buffalo
senior Abby Darnley, who
also made the ﬁrst team
as a freshman. Selected at
utility, the Bison batted
.534 with 12 doubles, a
trio of triples, six homers
and 25 RBIs. She also
swiped two dozen bases.
Man junior Morgan
Cooper, whose team lost
by scores of 2-0 and 3-1 in
the regional to Wahama,
was back on the top unit.
She went 13-6 with 0.66
ERA and amassed 253
strikeouts in 117 innings.
She had a .415 average,
knocked in 11 runs to go
along with a quartet of
doubles, two triples and
three home runs.
Ravenswood catcher
Hattie Kennedy, who was
a ﬁrst team outﬁelder as
a junior, threw out nine
runners and ﬁnished with
a .551 average. The Red
Devil also drew 12 walks
against just three strikeouts and had 10 doubles,
10 steals, three triples,
two homers and 23 RBIs.

The other repeat honorees were inﬁeld selections
with St. Marys sophomore Zoey Winland (.429
AVG, 7-6-3, 25 RBIs, 13
SBs) and Sherman senior
Hailea Skeens (.536 AVG,
10 HR, 28 RBIs).
Tug Valley’s Autumn
Hall and Gilmer County’s
Taylor McHenry, both
seniors, are on the ﬁrst
team for a second time
after making it in 2019 as
freshmen. Hall compiled
11 wins, a 1.97 ERA and
182 strikeouts. The Panthers also hit .474 with
nine doubles, one tater
and a baker’s dozen runsbatted-in. The Titan not
only averaged .544 and
drove in 52, but she had
10 doubles, seven triples
and 14 home runs.
Doddridge County
junior Josalyn Lipscomb
(.500 AVG, 15-5-8, 44
RBIs, 22 SBs) was the
other ﬁrst team inﬁeld
selection.
Wheeling Central freshman Josie Frizzell, who
led the Maroon Knights
to the regional before falling to St. Marys, joined
Petersburg sophomore
Sam Colaw (12-1, 1.80
ERA, 107 Ks) as the
other pitchers on the ﬁrst
team.
Petersburg, which
ﬁnished state runnerup, also landed Braylee
Corbin (.553 AVG, 6 HRs,
25 RBIs) on ﬁrst team at
utility.
Freshman Cali Masters
helped St. Marys reach
the second day of the
state tournament and
also earned a nod on the

ﬁrst team at utility. Along
with a 9-2 record that
featured a 1.71 ERA with
79 punchouts in 65 2-3
innings, the Blue Devil
hit .398 with 10 doubles,
a triple, four home runs
and 21 RBIs.
Midland Trail reached
the state tournament and
was represented on the
ﬁrst team at utility by
senior Meghan Gill (.426
AVG, 2 HRs, 2.40 ERA,
111 Ks).
Joining Skeens and
Winland in the outﬁeld
were two seniors — Buffalo’s Katie Darnley (.430
AVG, eight doubles, 28
steals, 20 RBIs) and
James Monroe’s Shannon
Phipps (.460 AVG, 3 HRs,

Figure skating
minimum age rises
to 17 for ’26 Olympics
PHUKET, Thailand (AP) — No 15-year-old ﬁgure skaters will be allowed to compete at the 2026
Olympics following the controversy surrounding
Russian national champion Kamila Valieva at this
year’s Beijing Games.
A new age limit for ﬁgure skaters at senior international events was passed Tuesday by the International Skating Union in a 110-16 vote that will
raise the minimum age to 17 before the next Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.
“This is a very important decision,” ISU president Jan Dijkema said. “I would say a very historic
decision.”
The limit will be phased in with 15-year-olds
continuing to be allowed to compete next season,
a minimum age of 16 in the 2023-24 season, rising
to 17 the season after, which is the last before the
Olympics.
The ISU said the new rule was “for the sake of
protecting the physical and mental health, and
emotional well-being of the skaters.”
It should disrupt the career of top Russian junior
Soﬁa Akateva, who is 14. Her birthday in July falls
days after the July 1 deadline to classify skaters’
ages for the upcoming season, though for the 2026
Olympics she will be 18 and able to compete.
The change was coming even before ﬁgure skating at the Beijing Olympics was dominated by the
emotional stress put on the 15-year-old Valieva.
She was the favorite to take individual gold, after
helping the Russians win the team title, before her
positive doping test from December was belatedly
revealed during the Olympics.

Rich Strike (21), with Sonny Leon aboard, wins the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby horse race on May 7 at Churchill Downs in
Louisville, Ky. Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike is the third betting choice on the morning line for the Belmont Stakes, with Triple
Crown newcomer We the People installed as the favorite.

Rich Strike 3rd choice in Belmont

NEW YORK (AP) —
Kentucky Derby winner
Rich Strike is the third
betting choice on the
morning line for the Belmont Stakes, with Triple
Crown newcomer We the
People installed as the
favorite.
Rich Strike opened at
7-2 odds and drew the
fourth post position in a
ﬁeld of eight horses for
the 1 1/2-mile third leg of
the Triple Crown. We the
People drew the rail and
opens at 2-1, with Todd
Pletcher-trained No. 6
Mo Donegal set at 5-2.
A month after Rich
Strike pulled off an 80-1
upset to win the Derby
and bypassed the Preakness for extra rest, trainer
Eric Reed thinks the colt
is training just as well at
Belmont Park as he was
at Churchill Downs.
“He’s done real good
since he’s been here,”

Reed said Tuesday at
the post position draw.
“I see the energy level a
little higher now, and he
seems a little more conﬁdent.”
We the People is coming off winning the Grade
3 Peter Pan Stakes at
Belmont Park on May 15.
With another wet track
possible Saturday, Franceborn trainer Rodolphe
Brisset said he “wouldn’t
be upset” if rain is in the
forecast.
As for We the People
opening as the favorite,
Brisset said: “Everybody
knows we like the horse
since this winter. I don’t
look at the odds, but it
makes sense.
Pletcher has two horses
in the ﬁeld: Mo Donegal,
who ﬁnished ﬁfth in the
Derby, and ﬁlly Nest,
who ran second in the
Kentucky Oaks the day
before. He already has

won the Belmont once
before with a ﬁlly — Rags
to Riches in 2004 — and
is willing to take this
chance with Nest, who
drew the third post and
opens at 8-1.
“Everything’s gone
perfectly since the Oaks,”
Pletcher said. “She’s a
ﬁlly that’s really well-bred
for this race. I think she’s
got the right kind of disposition for it, and she’s
given us every indication
that she’s doing really
well.”
Along with Rich Strike
and Mo Donegal, Barber
Road is the only other
Derby horse set to race
in the Belmont. Barber
Road, who was sixth in
the Derby, drew the outside eighth post at odds
of 10-1.
There are no horses
this year that are set to
take part in all three legs
of the Triple Crown, after

Derby and Preakness
runner-up Epicenter was
given time off to prepare
for races this summer.
Creative Minister, who
ﬁnished third behind
Early Voting and Epicenter three weeks ago in
the Preakness, is the only
horse to run on all three
Triple Crown days after
winning against lesser
competition on May 7 at
Churchill.
“This horse, he’s got
a real chance,” trainer
Kenny McPeek said of
No. 5 Creative Minister,
who opened at 6-1. “He
handled (the Preakness)
really well, and he’s got
to move a step forward
again.”
Skippylongstocking,
who ﬁnished ﬁfth in
the Preakness, drew the
second post. He and No.
7 Golden Glider are the
co-longest shots on the
board at 20-1.

Angels fire Maddon amid 12-game skid
ANAHEIM, Calif.
(AP) — The Los Angeles
Angels ﬁred manager
Joe Maddon on Tuesday
with the team mired in a
12-game losing streak.
Third base coach Phil
Nevin will be the interim
manager when the Angels
(27-29) host Boston on
Tuesday night.
The 68-year-old

Maddon went 130-148
with the Angels, who
hired him before the
coronavirus-shortened
2020 season for his selfdescribed dream job.
Maddon spent three
decades of his career as a
player and coach for the
Angels before going on to
an impressive managerial
career that has included

three Manager of the Year
awards.
After ﬁnishing with
losing records in Maddon’s ﬁrst two seasons,
the Angels were off to a
strong 27-17 start to this
season before their current losing streak began.
They are one loss shy of
tying the longest skid
in franchise history, and

the skid has dropped
them 8 1/2 games
behind Houston for the
AL West lead.
The Angels were shut
out 1-0 in Maddon’s ﬁnal
game by the Boston Red
Sox and journeyman
starter Michael Wacha,
who threw a three-hitter
against the Halos’ starstudded lineup.

Steelers WR
Johnson tuning
out contract debate
By Will Graves
AP Sports Writer

PITTSBURGH — Diontae Johnson hears the
noise.
It’s becoming deafening at the moment to the
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver. He remains
intent on attempting to block it out, which isn’t
exactly easy when strangers keep offering opinions on your worth.
The 25-year-old has evolved in his brief career
from a somewhat risky third-round pick in 2019 to
Pittsburgh’s most established pass catcher as he
enters 2022. His productivity spiked last fall when
he hauled in 107 receptions, tied for ﬁfth best in
the league and sixth most in a single season in
franchise history and made the Pro Bowl for the
ﬁrst time.
The spike coincided with Johnson entering the
ﬁnal year of his rookie contract. He’s scheduled
to make a little more than $3 million this season,
a modest sum considering the market for proliﬁc
receivers exploded in recent months, with Tyreek
Hill, Davante Adams and A.J. Brown all signing
monster deals.
Johnson is not in their category at the moment,
which is where things get a little thorny. He’s not
a consistent gamebreaker such as Hill. He’s not
as dynamic as Adams and Brown. Still, Johnson
has established himself in the upper echelon at his
position. Barring injury or a mystifying drop in
production, he’s due a hefty raise at some point in
the next year.
The question is how much, and whether it will
come from the Steelers. In that sense, Johnson
offers a Rorschach test of sorts. He is putting up
No. 1 receiver numbers, even if he doesn’t necessarily cut what has become the typical proﬁle of a
No. 1. It’s a debate that Johnson has been unable
to avoid.
“There’s a lot of stuff going on out there saying
certain stuff about me,” Johnson said Tuesday as
the Steelers began mandatory minicamp. “But at
the end of the day, I can just only move forward
and just control what I can control.”
Such as showing up for work. Johnson skipped
the majority of Pittsburgh’s two weeks of voluntarily organized team activities, though teammates such as fellow wide receiver Chase Claypool
stressed they weren’t worried about Johnson getting his necessary work in.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin praised Johnson’s
ability to lead by example for an extremely young
group, one in which Johnson is now the elder
statesman after JuJu Smith-Schuster left in free
agency.
Pittsburgh addressed the departure of SmithSchuster and Ray-Ray McCloud by drafting
George Pickens in the second round, Calvin Austin III in the fourth and picking up Miles Boykin
off waivers from Baltimore. Their arrivals give
the wide receivers depth and — depending on
how you look at it — the Steelers with potential
replacements for Johnson should they choose not
to offer him an extension.
Johnson is making it a point to try and take
another step in his development, which in theory
would include becoming more of a downﬁeld
threat. He averaged just 10.8 yards per reception,
and the advanced metrics were so-so at best. He
averaged a middling 5.1 yards after a catch, well
behind the likes of Cooper Kupp and Ja’Marr
Chase.
Kupp and Chase, however, played in offenses
that had no issues trying to stretch the ﬁeld vertically. The Steelers, by contrast, were somewhat
limited in that area last season thanks to the combination of an erratic offensive line and former
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s diminished ability to truly let loose with a surgically rebuilt right
elbow.
Which makes Johnson’s situation all the more
mysterious. Do the Steelers bet on him by locking him down to a long-term deal? Or do they see
how things play out next spring? They opted not
to extend Smith-Schuster entering 2020. SmithSchuster became a free agent and then came back
on a one-year deal for 2021 before ultimately leaving for Kansas City in March.
Smith-Schuster said during the 2020 training
camp “contract-wise, that is between my agent and
the Steelers.” Fast forward two years, and it’s now
much the same for Johnson.

Son of Buffalo victim to Congress: ‘What are you doing?’
By Farnoush Amiri
and Lisa Mascaro
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The
son of Ruth Whitﬁeld, an
86-year-old woman killed
when a gunman opened
ﬁre in a racist attack on
Black shoppers in Buffalo,
New York, challenged
Congress Tuesday to act
against the “cancer of
white supremacy” and the
nation’s epidemic of gun
violence.
Garnell Whitﬁeld Jr’s
emotional testimony
comes as lawmakers
are working furiously
to strike a bipartisan
agreement on gun safety
measures in the aftermath
of back-to-back mass
shootings. Ten days after
the shooting death of his
mother and nine others
in New York, another
18-year-old gunman with
a semi-automatic riﬂe
opened ﬁre in Uvalde,
Texas, killing 19 school
children and two teachers.
“What are you doing?
You were elected to protect us,” Whitﬁeld Jr. told

Jacquelyn Martin | AP

Garnell Whitfield, Jr. of Buffalo, N.Y., whose mother, Ruth Whitfield,
was killed in the Buffalo Tops supermarket mass shooting, testifies
at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on domestic terrorism,
Tuesday in front of other family members of victims on Capitol Hill
in Washington.

members of the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
“Is there nothing that
you personally are willing
to do to stop the cancer
of white supremacy and
the domestic terrorism
it inspires?” he asked.
“If there is nothing then,
respectfully, senators …
you should yield your
positions of authority and
inﬂuence to others that
are willing to lead on this
issue.”
The hearing is the

ﬁrst of two this week as
families of the victims
and survivors of the mass
shootings in Buffalo and
Uvalde appear at public
hearings and events on
Capitol Hill to show the
human toll of America’s
gun violence and urge
Congress to act.
Pressing for a deal,
President Joe Biden met
Tuesday with Sen. Chris
Murphy, a key Democratic negotiator, who has
worked most of his career

trying to curb the nation’s
mass-shooting scourge
after the heartbreaking
slaughter of 20 children
at Sandy Hook Elementary in his home state
of Connecticut a decade
ago.
Murphy told reporters
after the meeting that he
was grateful to have an
opportunity to update the
president on the talks.
“Obviously we’ve still got
work to do in the Senate,”
he said.
Murphy said his goal is
to try to get an agreement
this week, but he added
that Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer
has been clear that “we
need some extra time to
dot the i’s and cross the
t’s that will get it.”
Also on Tuesday, actor
Matthew McConaughey,
who is from Uvalde, made
his rounds to Senate
ofﬁces on the Hill before
heading to the White
House to open the daily
brieﬁng. McConaughey,
who earlier this year
considered a run for
governor of Texas, gave
a full-throated speech on

the importance of taking legislative action “to
make the loss of these
lives matter.”
“We want secure and
safe schools and we want
gun laws that won’t make
it so easy for the bad guys
to get the damn guns,”
he said. The impassioned
speech came after the
52-year-old and his wife
drove back to Uvalde on
the day after the shooting
and spent time with some
of the victims’ families.
On Wednesday, the
House Oversight Committee is expected to
hear from more victims’
families and from fourthgrader Miah Cerrillo
who captured Americans’ attention after she
described covering herself
in her dead classmate’s
blood and playing dead to
survive the shooting rampage in Uvalde.
The Senate hearing
Tuesday focused directly
on the white supremacist
ideology that authorities say led an 18-yearold gunman dressed in
military gear to drive
hours to a predominately

Black neighborhood in
Buffalo and live stream
his violent rampage. The
shooting left 10 people
dead and several others
wounded.
“My mother’s life mattered,” Whitﬁeld said.
“Your actions here will
tell us if and how much it
mattered to you.”
Shortly after the Buffalo massacre, a bill that
would have bolstered federal resources to prevent
domestic terrorism failed
in the Senate at the hands
of Republican opposition.
Even at Tuesday’s hearing, Republican senators
took the time to focus
on the racial injustice
protests that took place
in the summer of 2020,
citing those incidents as
acts of domestic extremism.
Since the failed vote,
senators have regrouped
and began to meet privately in a small bipartisan group headed by
Murphy and Republican
Sen. John Cornyn, trying
to hash out a compromise that could actually
become law.

Columbus limits how police
use force on protesters
COLUMBUS (AP) — Police in Ohio’s capital will
be limited in how they can use force against protesters and will have to display ofﬁcers’ names on their
riot gear under changes being made to city law.
Columbus City Council approved the changes
Monday. It comes two years after police faced
criticism for responding to demonstrations against
racial injustice and police brutality by using physical violence, tear gas and pepper spray against
protestors without provocation. That led to a
$5.75 million settlement with people injured during the protests.
Those confrontations already prompted changes
in Columbus. The mayor prohibited police use of
tear gas and limited use of pepper spray to clear
streets and disperse peaceful demonstrators. A
subsequent order by a federal judge said police
can’t inﬂict pain to punish or deter nonviolent
protesters, and must ensure badge numbers are
visible even when ofﬁcers are wearing riot gear.

“Don’t let the news

in a video address. “It is
clear that tactical maneuvers are ongoing. We

something back.”
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy

Haidai conceded that
Russian forces control
the industrial outskirts of
Sievierodonetsk.
“The toughest street
battles continue, with
varying degrees of success,” Haidai said. “The
situation constantly
changes, but the Ukrainians are repelling attacks.”
Moscow’s forces also
kept up their artillery
barrage of Lysychansk.
Haidai said Russian
troops shelled a market,
a school and a college
building, destroying
the latter. At least three
people were wounded, he
said.
“A total destruction
of the city is under way.
Russian shelling has
intensiﬁed signiﬁcantly
over the past 24 hours.
Russians are using
scorched-earth tactics,”
Haidai said.
Meanwhile, the U.S.
military has begun training Ukrainian forces on
the sophisticated multiple rocket launchers
that the Biden administration agreed last week
to provide. The Pentagon said the training
is going on at a base in
Germany and elsewhere
in Europe.
The High Mobility
Artillery Rocket System,
or HIMARS, is mounted
on a truck and can carry
a container with six
rockets, which can travel
about 45 miles (70 kilometers). Ofﬁcials said it
would take about three
weeks of training before
they could go to the
battlefront.
