No Crosby, no Malkin gives Penguins camp an unusual vibe
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have opened training camp without stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Crosby is recovering from wrist surgery that will force him to miss the first few weeks of the season. Malkin likely won’t be back until late November at the earliest after having knee surgery in June. Coach Mike Sullivan says the injuries will provide leadership opportunities for younger players on the team who have spent their careers in Malkin and Crosby’s considerable shadows.
(Harrisburg, Pa.) Pennsylvania’s attorney general is suing to block a Republican-approved subpoena to state election officials in what Republicans call a “forensic investigation” of last year’s presidential election. The lawsuit from state Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, is the second thus far targeting a subpoena approved last week by the Republican-controlled Senate committee. Shapiro’s office broadly asked the court to block the subpoena because, it said, it serves no legitimate legislative purpose. The suit also says granting the subpoena’s request for voter information would violate a person’s constitutional right to privacy.

Steelers OC Matt Canada: ‘I need to do better’
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada says he needs to do a better job. The Steelers have scored just three offensive touchdowns through two games while getting off to a 1-1 start. Canada says he needs to find a way to make things easier for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Getting the running game going would help. Pittsburgh is last in the NFL in rushing. Pittsburgh hosts Cincinnati in Week 3.
Inflation forces homebuilders to take it slow, raise prices
By ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rising costs and shortages of building materials and labor are rippling across the homebuilding industry, delaying construction and prompting many builders to pump the brakes on how many homes they put up for sale. Lumber futures hit their lowest level in more than a year last week after vaulting nearly fivefold to an all-time high in May. The roughly 64% drop since then reflects an uptick in production and a pullback in demand from builders as prices skyrocketed. Still, the decline has yet to translate into lower costs for many builders. Meanwhile, the industry is contending with a bevy of other elevated costs for windows, doors, flooring, roofing and other types of construction products.

The early years are a critical time in a child’s development. As such, Lifesteps urges families to proactively have children assessed for developmental delays. Notable milestones in a child’s development include certain aspects of hearing, talking, seeing, playing and basic social skills. By ensuring milestones are met at age appropriate benchmarks, children are far more likely to reach their potential.
Through Lifesteps Child Check program, parents are provided with knowledge on their child’s current state of development and guided to resources when delays are detected. The screening is a brief assessment using games and activities to determine a child’s current level of development.
A Child Check screening takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and the results are discussed immediately with parents/guardians. Appointments for in-person or online screenings are required and can be scheduled by calling Lifesteps at 724-283-1010 or 1-800-225-2010.
