“If there is any breech

Walgreens said the

“Walgreens is investigating and has taken

Biden meets GOP on virus aid, but no quick deal
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden told Republican
senators during a two-hour meeting he’s unwilling to settle on
an insufﬁcient coronavirus aid
package after they pitched their
slimmed down $618 billion proposal that’s a fraction of the $1.9
trillion he is seeking.
No compromise was reached
in the lengthy session Monday
night, Biden’s ﬁrst with lawmakers
at the White House, and Democrats in Congress pushed ahead
with groundwork for approving
his COVID-19 relief plan with or
without Republican votes. Despite
the Republican group’s appeal for
bipartisanship, as part of Biden’s
efforts to unify the country, the
president made it clear he won’t
delay aid in hopes of winning GOP
support.
White House Press Secretary
Jen Psaki said that while there
were areas of agreement, “the
president also reiterated his view

COLUMBUS — State Representative Jay Edwards has been
tapped to lead the Ohio House’s
key economic development committee as state leaders work to
rebuild Ohio’s economy in the
wake of COVID-19.
“I’m honored to be asked to
chair the House Economic and
Workforce Development Committee,” said Edwards (R-Nelsonville). “The work we do in the
weeks and months ahead will be
critical in our efforts to get Ohioans back to work, bring new jobs
to Ohio and revitalize struggling

neighborhoods and communities.”
Edwards said economic challenges have been especially acute
in Southeast Ohio, which historically has been among the ﬁrst
into a recession and the last to
emerge.
In addition to chairing the
Economic and Workforce Development Committee, Edwards will
play an important role in helping
shape the upcoming state budget,
having been named to the House
Finance Committee.
Edwards will serve on the
House Finance Committee’s
Human Services Subcommittee
as well as the Families, Aging and

Human Services Committee.
“Human services has always
been a passion of mine,” Edwards
said. “We have a number of vital
state programs that seniors and
vulnerable Ohioans of all ages
count on every day. It’s important
that we get the funding and policy
right so we can serve those in
need.”
Edwards will also serve on the
newly-created House Technology
and Innovation Committee.
State Representative Jay Edwards is serving
his second term in the Ohio House of
Representatives. He represents the 94th
District, which includes Athens, Meigs,
Washington, and Vinton Counties.

Biden
From page 1

response, and will not settle for a package that fails
to meet the moment.”
The two sides are far
apart, with the Republican group of 10 senators
focused primarily on the
health care crisis and
smaller $1,000 direct
aid to Americans, and
Biden leading Democrats
toward a more sweeping
rescue package, three
times the size, to shore
up households, local
governments and a partly
shuttered economy.
On a fast track, the
goal is to have COVID-19
relief approved by March,
when extra unemployment assistance and other
pandemic aid expires,
testing the ability of the
new administration and
Congress to deliver, with
political risks for all sides
from failure.
Republican Sen. Susan
Collins of Maine called
the meeting a “frank and
very useful” conversation,
noting that the president
also ﬁlled in some details
on his proposal.
“All of us are concerned
about struggling families,
teetering small businesses and an overwhelmed
health care system,” said
Collins, ﬂanked by other
senators outside the
White House.
Republicans are tapping into bipartisan
urgency to improve the
nation’s vaccine distribution and vastly expand
virus testing with $160
billion in aid. That is
similar to what Biden has
proposed. But from there,
the two plans drastically
diverge.
The GOP’s $1,000
direct payments would
go to fewer households
than the $1,400 Biden
has proposed, and the
Republicans offer only a
fraction of what he wants
to reopen schools.
They also would give
nothing to states, money
that Democrats argue is
just as important, with
$350 billion in Biden’s
plan to keep police, ﬁre
and other workers on the
job.
Gone are Democratic
priorities such as a gradual lifting of the federal
minimum wage to $15 an
hour.
Wary Democrats
pushed ahead at the
Capitol, unwilling to take
too much time in courting GOP support that
may not materialize or in
delivering too meager a
package that they believe
doesn’t address the scope
of the nation’s health
crisis and economic problems.
Senate Majority Leader
Chuck Schumer warned
that history is ﬁlled with
“the costs of small thinking.”
House and Senate Democrats released a separate
budget resolution Monday a step toward approving Biden’s package with
a reconciliation process
that wouldn’t depend on
Republican support for
passage.
“The cost of inaction
is high and growing,
and the time for decisive
action is now,” Schumer
and Speaker Nancy Pelosi
said in a statement.
The accelerating talks
came as the Congressional Budget Ofﬁce
delivered mixed economic
forecasts Monday with
robust growth expected
at a 4.5% annual rate but
employment rates not to
return to pre-pandemic
levels for several years.
The overture from the
coalition of 10 GOP senators, mostly centrists,
was an attempt to show
that at least some in the
Republican ranks want
to work with Biden’s new
administration, rather
than simply operating

as the opposition in the
minority in Congress.
Asked if Biden had
shown a willingness to
reduce his $1.9 trillion
top line, Republican Sen.
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana,
said, “He didn’t say that,
nor did we say we’re willing to come up” from the
GOP plan. He said it’s
“too early” to say if a deal
can be reached.
But in echoes of the
2009 ﬁnancial crisis,
Democrats warn against
too small a package as
they believe happened
during the Obama administration’s attempt to pull
the nation toward recovery.
Psaki said earlier Monday there is “obviously a
big gap” between the $1.9
trillion package Biden has
proposed and the $618
billion counteroffer.
An invitation to the
GOP senators to meet
with Biden and Vice
President Kamala Harris
at the White House came
hours after the lawmakers sent Biden a letter
on Sunday urging him to
negotiate rather than try
to ram through his relief
package solely on Democratic votes.
The cornerstone of
the GOP plan is $160
billion for the health
care response — vaccine
distribution, a “massive
expansion” of testing,
protective gear and
funds for rural hospitals,
according to a draft.
It also includes $20
billion to reopen schools
compared to $170 billion in Biden’s plan. The
Republicans offer $40
billion for Paycheck Protection Program business
aid.
Under the GOP proposal, $1,000 direct
payments would go to
individuals earning up
to $40,000 a year, or
$80,000 for couples.
The proposal would
begin to phase out the
beneﬁt after that, with
no payments for individuals earning more than
$50,000, or $100,000
for couples. That’s less
than Biden’s proposal of
$1,400 direct payments
at higher incomes levels,
up to $300,000 for some
households.
The meeting, though
private, was Biden’s most
public involvement in the
negotiations.
Winning the support
of 10 Republicans would
be signiﬁcant for Biden,
potentially giving him
the votes needed in the
50-50 Senate where Harris is the tie-breaker. Or
he can push it through
the budget reconciliation
process, which would
allow the bill to pass with
a 51-vote majority in the
Senate, rather than the 60
votes typically needed to
advance legislation.
The White House
remains committed to
exploring avenues for
bipartisanship even as it
prepares for Democrats to
move alone on a COVID19 relief bill, according to
a senior administration
ofﬁcial granted anonymity to discuss the private
thinking.
At the same time, the
White House may be willing to adjust its ask, perhaps shifting some less
virus-oriented aspects
into a package that is set
to go next before Congress, the ofﬁcial said.
Biden himself has been
on the phone to some of
the Republicans, the ofﬁcial said.
Besides Collins and
Cassidy, the GOP senators meeting with Biden
were Lisa Murkowski
of Alaska, Mitt Romney
of Utah, Shelley Moore
Capito of West Virginia,
Todd Young of Indiana,
Jerry Moran of Kansas,
Rob Portman of Ohio,
Thom Tillis of North Carolina. Sen. Mike Rounds
of South Dakota joined by
phone.

House Dems make case for conviction
By Eric Tucker
and Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Donald Trump endangered the lives of all
members of Congress
when he aimed a mob
of supporters “like a
loaded cannon” at the
U.S. Capitol, House
Democrats said Tuesday
in making their most
detailed case yet for why
the former president
should be convicted and
permanently barred from
ofﬁce. Trump denied the
allegations through his
lawyers and called the
trial unconstitutional.
The dueling ﬁlings
offer the ﬁrst public
glimpse of the arguments that will be
presented to the Senate
beginning next week.
The impeachment trial
represents a remarkable
reckoning with the violence in the Capitol last
month, which the senators witnessed ﬁrsthand,
and with Trump’s presidency overall.
Held in the very chamber where the insurrectionists stood on Jan.
6, it will pit Democratic
demands for a ﬁnal measure of accountability
against the desire of
many Republicans to
turn the page and move
on.
The impeachment
trial, Trump’s second,
begins in earnest on
Feb. 9.
The Democratic legal
brief forcefully linked
Trump’s baseless efforts
to overturn the results of
the presidential election
to the deadly riot at the
Capitol, saying he bears
“unmistakable” blame
for actions that threatened the underpinnings
of American democracy.
It argued that he must
be found guilty on a
charge of inciting the
siege. And it used evocative language to conjure
the day’s chaos, when
“terriﬁed members were
trapped in the chamber”
and called loved ones
“for fear they would not
survive.”
“His conduct endangered the life of every
single member of Con-

Donald Trump endangered the lives of all members of Congress when he aimed a mob of
supporters “like a loaded cannon” at the U.S. Capitol, House Democrats said Tuesday in making
their most detailed case yet for why the former president should be convicted and permanently
barred from office.

gress, jeopardized the
peaceful transition of
power and line of succession, and compromised
our national security,”
the Democratic managers of the impeachment
case wrote. “This is
precisely the sort of constitutional offense that
warrants disqualiﬁcation
from federal ofﬁce.”
The Democrats’ ﬁling
made clear their plan to
associate Trump’s words
with the resulting violence, tracing his efforts
to subvert democracy to
when he ﬁrst said last
summer that he would
not accept the election
results and then through
the November contest
and his many failed
attempts to challenge the
results in court. When
those efforts failed, the
Democrats wrote, “he
turned to improper and
abusive means of staying
in power,” speciﬁcally
by launching a pressure
campaign aimed at state
election ofﬁcials, the
Justice Department and
Congress.
“The only honorable
path at that point was
for President Trump to
accept the results and
concede his electoral
defeat. Instead, he summoned a mob to Washington, exhorted them
into a frenzy, and aimed
them like a loaded cannon down Pennsylvania
Avenue,” the Democrats
wrote in their 77-page
brief.

The Democrats cited
his unsuccessful efforts
to sway Georgia Secretary of State Brad
Raffensperger and former Attorney General
William Barr. Trump
then became “ﬁxated”
on Jan. 6, the managers
wrote. They note that
many of his supporters,
including the Proud
Boys — who Trump
told to “stand back and
stand by” at a September
debate — were already
primed for violence.
“Given all that, the
crowd which assembled
on January 6 unsurprisingly included many
who were armed, angry,
and dangerous—and
poised on a hair trigger
for President Trump to
conﬁrm that they indeed
had to “ﬁght” to save
America from an imagined conspiracy,” the
Democrats wrote.
The House brief is
more than 5 times as
long as the Trump ﬁling
and heavy on footnotes
and citations, aiming to construct what
Democrats hope will be
a detailed roadmap for
conviction. Trump’s legal
team, by contrast, was
more sparing in a ﬁling
that avoided dwelling on
the drama and violence
of the day.
Trump’s lawyers,
David Schoen and Bruce
Castor, denied that he
had incited the riot by
disputing the election
results or by exhorting

his followers to “ﬁght
like hell.” They said he
was permitted by the
First Amendment to
challenge his loss to
Democrat Joe Biden as
“suspect” and that, in
any event, the trial was
unconstitutional now
that Trump has left the
White House.
Lawyers for Trump
contested the Democratic characterization
of Trump’s remarks and
his role in the riot, denying that he incited it or
that he ever endangered
national security. When
he told his followers to
ﬁght like hell, they said,
he was talking about
“election security in general.”
Trump, they said, was
not attempting to interfere with the counting
of electoral votes, only
encouraging members of
Congress to engage in
the customary process of
challenging vote submissions “under a process
written into Congressional rules,” as had been
done in years past.
“The actions by the
House make clear that
in their opinion the 45th
President does not enjoy
the protections of liberty
upon which this great
Nation was founded,
where free speech, and
indeed, free political
speech form the backbone of all American liberties,” the defense lawyers wrote in a 14-page
brief.

Moscow court orders Kremlin foe to prison
By Daria Litvinova
and Vladimir Isachenkov
Associated Press

MOSCOW — A Moscow court
on Tuesday ordered Russian
opposition leader Alexei Navalny
to prison for more than 2 1/2
years, ﬁnding that he violated the
terms of his probation while recuperating in Germany from nerveagent poisoning, a ruling almost
certain to ignite more protests
across the country.
Just before the ruling, Navalny,
who is the most prominent critic
of President Vladimir Putin, had
denounced the proceedings as a
vain attempt by the Kremlin to
scare millions of Russians into
submission. His team called on
Russians to rally immediately in
central Moscow’s Manezh Square
in protest; authorities closed four
subway stations nearest to the
square.
The ruling came despite massive protests across Russia over
the past two weekends and Western calls to free the 44-year-old
anti-corruption campaigner.
“We reiterate our call for the
Russian government to immediately and unconditionally release
Mr. Navalny, as well as the hundreds of other Russian citizens
wrongfully detained in recent
weeks for exercising their rights,
including the rights to freedom
of expression and of peaceful
assembly,” U.S. Secretary of State
Antony Blinken said after the ruling.
The prison sentence stems from
a 2014 embezzlement conviction
that Navalny has rejected as fabri-

Moscow City Court via AP

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny talks to one of his lawyers, left, while
standing in the cage during a hearing to a motion from the Russian prison service to
convert the suspended sentence of Navalny from the 2014 criminal conviction into a
real prison term in the Moscow City Court in Moscow, Russia, on Tuesday.

cated and politically motivated.
Navalny was arrested Jan. 17
upon returning from his ﬁvemonth convalescence in Germany
from the attack, which he has
blamed on the Kremlin. Russian
authorities deny any involvement.
Despite tests by several European
labs, Russian authorities said they
have no proof he was poisoned.
As the order was read, Navalny
smiled and pointed to his wife
Yulia in the courtroom and traced
the outline of a heart on the
glass cage where he was being
held. “Everything will be ﬁne,”
he told her as guards led him
away.
Earlier in the proceedings,
Navalny attributed his arrest to
Putin’s “fear and hatred,” saying

the Russian leader will go down
in history as a “poisoner.”
“I have deeply offended him
simply by surviving the assassination attempt that he ordered,”
he said.
“The aim of that hearing is to
scare a great number of people,”
Navalny added. “You can’t jail
the entire country.”
Russia’s penitentiary service
said Navalny violated the probation conditions of his suspended
sentence from the 2014 conviction. It asked the court to
turn his 3 1/2-year suspended
sentence into one that he must
serve in prison, although he has
spent about a year of it under
house arrest that will now be
counted as time served.

Eastern senior Whitney Durst (40) tries a pass around Southern junior
Kayla Evans (right), during a Dec. 21 match up in Racine, Ohio.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio —
Same result, just a little closer
than the ﬁrst time.
The Eastern girls basketball
team — which topped Southern
61-12 on Dec. 21 in Racine —
defeated the Lady Tornadoes
again in Tri-Valley Conference
Hocking Division action on Monday at ‘the Nest’, this time by a
52-26 count.
Eastern (4-14, 3-7 TVC Hocking) jumped out to a 15-4 lead a
quarter into play, hitting 7-of-13
ﬁeld goal attempts in the ﬁrst
eight minutes. EHS outscored
Southern (0-16, 0-11) 13-to-9 in
the second period and headed
into halftime on top 28-13.
Each team scored eight points

in the third quarter, making the
hosts’ lead 36-21 with eight minutes to play. Eastern capped off
the 52-26 victory with a 16-to-5
ﬁnale.
For the game, the Lady Eagles
shot 23-of-59 (39.0 percent)
from the ﬁeld, including 1-of-11
(9.1 percent) from beyond the
arc, while SHS made 9-of-30
(30 percent) ﬁeld goal attempts,
including 1-of-5 (20 percent)
three-point tries. At the foul line,
Eastern hit 5-of-10 (50 percent)
and Southern made 7-of-12 (58.3
percent). The hosts committed
14 turnovers, 11 fewer than the
Lady Tornadoes.
All-9 Lady Eagles scored in the
win, led by Sydney Reynolds with
15 points. Kennadi Rockhold hit
the team’s lone three-pointer and
ﬁnished with 11 points. Hope

Reed and Erica Durst both scored
six for EHS, Jennifer Parker and
Whitney Durst added four points
each, while Juli Durst, Brielle
Newland and Ella Carleton came
up with two apiece.
Kass Chaney hit the guests’
only triple on her way to a teambest 11 points. Kayla Evans was
next with eight points, followed
by Lauren Smith with three.
Emilee Barber and Lila Cooper
rounded out the guests’ total with
two points each.
Next, Eastern welcomes Meigs
on Wednesday, and Southern
hosts Federal Hocking on Thursday.

MLB to start on
time after players
reject delay
NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball
will proceed with an on-time start to spring training and the season after players rejected a plan
Monday night to delay reporting by a more than a
month.
“In light of the MLBPA’s rejection of our proposal, and their refusal to counter our revised
offer this afternoon, we are moving forward and
instructing our clubs to report for an on-time start
to spring training and the championship season,
subject to reaching an agreement on health and
safety protocols,” MLB said in a statement.
“We were able to complete a 2020 season
through Herculean efforts and sacriﬁces made by
our players, club staff and MLB staff to protect
one another,” MLB said. “We will do so again,
together, as we work towards playing another safe
and entertaining season in 2021.”
MLB proposed to the players’ association on
Friday that the start of spring training be pushed
back from Feb. 17 to March 22, that opening day
be delayed from April 1 to April 28 and that each
team’s schedule be cut from 162 games to 154.
MLB believed the virus situation would improve
during the month delay.
Under the proposal, each team would have been
allowed to be scheduled up to 12 split doubleheaders. Experimental rules for seven-inning doubleheaders and beginning extra innings with a runner
on second base would have continued for a second
season.
As part of the offer, MLB included the expansion of the playoffs from 10 teams to 14 and
extending the designated hitter to the National
League for the second straight season, a plan the
union rejected Jan. 6.
Bruce Meyer, the union’s director of collective
bargaining, called deputy commissioner Dan
Halem on Monday to inform him the proposal had
been rejected, two people familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The people
spoke on condition of anonymity because that
detail was not announced.
Halem then asked Meyer to make a counteroffer,
and Meyer sent an email asking MLB to guarantee
salary and service time in the event of an interruption, one of the people said.
MLB’s proposal Friday included expanded rights
for Commissioner Rob Manfred to interrupt the
season. Halem responded to Meyer on Monday
and said MLB would agree to withdraw that part
of the proposal but that each side would retain
whatever rights it has under the labor and player
contracts, the person said.
Meyer responded Monday night that the union

From page 7

will not make any more proposals, that
the union did not believe MLB’s plan
was designed to protect health and
safety, and that players expect MLB to
tell teams that it intends to start spring
training and the season on time, the person said.
“The MLBPA executive board and
player leadership reviewed and discussed the owners’ proposal throughout
the weekend and today,” the union said
then in its public statement. “The clearcut result of these deliberations is that
players will not accept MLB’s proposal,
will instead continue preparations for
an on-time start to the 2021 season, and
will accept MLB’s commitment to again
direct its clubs to prepare for an on-time
start.
“We do not make this decision lightly.
Players know ﬁrst-hand the efforts that
were required to complete the abbreviated 2020 season, and we appreciate that
signiﬁcant challenges lie ahead. We look
forward to promptly ﬁnalizing enhanced
health and safety protocols that will
help players and clubs meet these challenges.”
Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement, which expires next Dec. 1, calls
for voluntary reporting dates of Feb. 17
for pitchers, catchers and injured players, and Feb. 22 for others. The mandatory reporting date, which few players
stick to, is Feb. 27.
While MLB’s proposal said players
would have received 100% of pay if
all 154 scheduled games were played,
the plan would have given Manfred
the right to stop spring training, the
regular season or the postseason if government restrictions prevented ﬁve or
more teams from playing home games
even without fans, if government rules
restricted travel in the United States,
if Manfred determined after consultation with medical experts and the union
there is an unreasonable safety risk to
players or staff, or if the number of regular major leaguers unavailable because
of COVID-19 undermined competitive
integrity.
“MLB’s proposal offers no salary or
service time protections in the event of
further delays, interruptions, or cancellation of the season,” the union said.
Seven teams in each league would
have made the playoffs, and only the
division winner with the best record
would have received a bye in the best-ofthree ﬁrst round. There would have been
a selection show in which the seeded
teams would have been able to, in order
of percentage, select their ﬁrst-round
opponent. The three advancing teams
in each league and the one with a bye
would have advanced to the best-of-ﬁve
Division Series, starting the traditional
rounds of the postseason.
While the sides spent weeks disagreeing on starting the season last year,
MLB went ahead with a 60-game schedule and the sides reached a separate
agreement to expand last year’s playoffs
to 16 teams in a deal reached just before
the season opener.

iar with the matter. The
person cautioned that an
ofﬁcial cause of death has
not yet been determined
and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity because they
were not authorized to
discuss the investigation
publicly.
The shooting happened
around 6 a.m. in a middle-class neighborhood
of single family homes,
duplexes and apartment
buildings located west of
Fort Lauderdale, near the
Everglades.
The gunﬁre erupted
with about four shots
— “Boom, boom, boom,
boom!” said Julius
McLymont, whose house
borders the Water Terrace apartment complex
where the suspect was
barricaded.
At ﬁrst McLymont
thought the gunﬁre was a
car backﬁring, then two
minutes later he heard
about ﬁve more shots. He
went outside and looked
over his fence as police
cars and ambulances
rushed in. Then he saw
ofﬁcers working on someone lying on the ground
before they loaded the
person into an ambulance.
A SWAT team appeared
next, with ofﬁcers donning riot gear. Then they
went around the building, yelling, “Go, go, go!”
McLymont said. He said

SUNRISE, Fla. — Two
FBI agents were killed
and three wounded in
a shooting that erupted
on Tuesday when they
arrived to search an
apartment in a child pornography case, a confrontation that marked one
of the bloodiest days in
FBI history. The suspect
is believed to have killed
himself.
The violence forced residents in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Sunrise to
huddle inside their homes
as a SWAT team stormed
the apartment building
and police helicopters
circled overhead.
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray identiﬁed
the two slain agents as
Daniel Alﬁn and Laura
Schwartzenberger, both
of whom specialized
in investigating crimes
against children.
Two of the wounded
agents were taken to hospitals to be treated and
were in stable condition,
said Miami FBI Agent
Michael D. Leverock. The
third did not require hospitalization, Wray said.
Based on a preliminary
investigation, federal
ofﬁcials believe the suspect fatally shot himself, according to a law
