Iraq Arts Fest: More Words, Less Song And Dance

Guardians star Jose Ramirez did heavy lifting at the plate on Tuesday. So when he got the chance to be a passenger on the game-changing homer, he stopped short of rounding third, turned to watch the ball fly over the wall, and held up his hands in joy. Ramirez finished with a homer, a double, two walks, two RBIs and four runs scored in Cleveland’s 13-7 triumph that took the shine off Colorado’s recent momentum over the past three weeks. The Rockies’ loss, started by an opening homer from Ramirez and underscored by a two-homer performance from Josh Naylor, was punctuated by rough performances from both starter Ryan Feltner and the bullpen on a beautiful night at Coors Field. “With Ryan, we’ve got to get him to consistently get the ball down,” manager Bud Black said.

BOULDER — The irony’s as cruel as an own goal, as cutting as a Lindsay Horan header. Only a handful of tickets were left after Memorial Day for the USA-South Korea friendly at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Saturday. Any other summer, Miranda Spencer and Annie Weaver would’ve snapped those puppies up. “We’re pretty sad we’re not going,” Weaver told me Tuesday with a rueful chuckle. “We would definitely be there,” Spencer added. They’ve got a good reason, though.

Introducing peanut butters, soups and other products made from peanuts into your child’s diet early on may help prevent them from developing an allergy later in adolescence, a new study found.

Newark, Ohio—Ohio’s historical society is one step away from gaining control of ancient ceremonial and burial earthworks maintained by a country club where members golf alongside the mounds. A trial was slated to begin Tuesday to determine how much the historical society must pay for the site, which is among eight ancient areas in the Hopewell Earthworks system named a World Heritage Site last year. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Built between 2,000 and 1,600 years ago by people from the Hopewell Culture, the earthworks were host to ceremonies that drew people from across the continent, based on archeological discoveries of raw materials from as far west as the Rocky Mountains. The Ohio History Connection, which owns the 2,000-year-old Octagon Earthworks in Newark in central Ohio, won a state Supreme Court decision a year and a half ago allowing it to reclaim a lease held by the Moundbuilders Country Club so that it can turn the site into a public park. The historical society has put the value of the site at about $2 million while the country club is seeking a much higher return. Native Americans constructed the earthworks, including eight long earthen walls, that correspond to lunar movements and align with points where the moon rises and sets over the 18.6-year lunar cycle. The Ohio History Connection calls them “part cathedral, part cemetery and part astronomical observatory.” Numerous tribes, some with historical ties to Ohio, want the earthworks preserved as examples of Indigenous peoples’ accomplishments. In 1892, voters in surrounding Licking County enacted a tax increase to preserve what was left of the earthworks.
