Olympics | IOC stops short of Russian ban
Facing pressure to ban the entire Russian contingent from the upcoming Summer Games, Olympic leaders announced Sunday they will instead leave the decision to the international federations that govern each sport.

THORNVILLE — For recent high-school graduate Olivia Newbold, public service is a calling, not a career move. As the youngest member of the Thornville Village Council, the 19-year-old has made it her mission to make a difference in her Perry County community by aiming to create environmentally friendly ordinances, increase funding for parks and recreation and foster communication between the community and council.

PHILADELPHIA — Ohio’s 160 delegates to the Democratic National Convention will gather for breakfast this morning and one, more than any other, will be easy to spot. “I will be the only Ohio delegate for either candidate wearing a hijab,” said Cynthia Cox deBoutinkhar. That’s because the 52-year-old Columbus physical therapist is a Muslim. She also is a Mexican-American.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio — Before she can get the words out, he knows what she’s going to say. It works the other way, too. She always seems to understand what he thinks or needs, or even what joke he’s about to crack. Sherri Daniel had believed it was possible for two people to be that close, to love each other that much. She just didn’t figure she’d get the chance.
