OHIO BRIEF Agreement reached for Ohio vote on legal weed in 2023 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A group backing the legalization of marijuana for adult use in Ohio and Republican legislative leaders have reached a settlement calling for a possible statewide legalization vote next year. The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol sued the Republicans in Columbus earlier this month anticipating the GOP would argue that petitions gathered by the pro-marijuana group weren’t submitted in time to allow for a vote this November. The group initially submitted petition signatures Jan. 28 giving the Republican-led Legislature four months to decide whether or not to pursue a bill legalization. The group had hoped to gather another 133,000 signatures to put the issue on this November’s ballot if legislators failed to act. While Republican leadership made it clear they would not consider a legalization bill, they also indicated the coalition submitted its petitions to the Legislature too late to put legalization on this November’s ballot. The settlement calls for the group to resubmit its petitions on Jan. 3, providing enough time for the coalition to gather more signatures to put the issue before voters in November 2023.

BOSTON (AP) — A group of Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish leaders is asking Starbucks to stop charging extra for vegan milk alternatives, saying the practice amounts to a tax on people who have embraced plant-based lifestyles. In a statement issued Friday, an interfaith coalition led by Nevadabased Hindu activist Rajan Zed pressed the coffee chain to end the surcharges it called “unethical and unfair.” “A coffee company should not be in the business of taxing individuals who had chosen the plant-based lifestyle,” said Zed’s statement, which was also signed by Thomas W. Blake, an Episcopal priest; Greek Orthodox clergyman Stephen R. Karcher; Buddhist priest Matthew Fisher; and Jewish rabbi ElizaBeth Webb Beyer. The religious leaders cited numerous reasons why some Starbucks customers prefer alternatives to dairy, including dietary restrictions, ethical issues, environmental concerns, lactose intolerance, milk allergies and animal welfare. Those who want plant-based milk should not have to pay more, they said, calling on the Seattlebased company’s CEO, Howard Schultz, and board chair Mellody Hobson to immediately drop the surcharge.

Since the Market’s inception, both adult and youth entrepreneurs have been encouraged to turn their craft into a business. Veterans of farmers market selling have been enthusiastic mentors of new vendors, especially encouraging to interested youth. To become a successful vendor and business owner takes more than a good idea, and many, lacking experience, are unsuccessful in marketing their product and become discouraged. Having experienced the struggle themselves, Halo Rife and Cooper Schagel began a conversation on how to help other youth. What they thought was needed was a structured way to teach younger sellers best practices in business and marketing. Rife has been operating a successful art business since she was 13, and Schagel is known throughout the area for his photography. That’s when they came up with the idea of youth helping youth. “All of the adults had been so supportive,” Rife said. “but we thought it would be helpful for us to have a program run by youth for youth.” She said they knew they would need funding, so they turned to Meigs County Market’s Dixie Hawthorne. “When I heard about MCIYS and what they wanted to do, I asked the market board if they would be okay with me writing for a grant to ‘pay forward’ what had been done for us ﬁnancially when our market was started in 2019,” Hawthorne said. Hawthorne wrote a proposal for a $7,500 grant that was approved by the market board: “The Creating Healthy Communities Lorna Hart | OVP Meigs County Innovative Youth Society board members Halo Rife, Cooper Schagel, and Storm Spears at the Meigs County Farmers’ Market on Saturday. make up the board of MCIYS, and were excited to announce on Saturday that they had received non proﬁt status. A private donor had come forward with a $5,000 grant once the group achieved this status. “It is cool to be starting something to help incubate youth businesses,” Schagel said. “We wanted to create something for youth run by youth. We wanted to be able to share our experiences and struggles, and be an example to others.” Spears said, “We are excited about the opportunity that we are creating in our community.” Rife said their ﬁrst day at the market went smoothly, and added that Lorna Hart | OVP their work is only beginOpal Huggins and Ruby Lechler named their business “Meigs County Rose”.

The scenes of violence were likely to add to the sense of grief and outrage across the Arab world that has followed the death of Abu Akleh, who witnesses say was killed by Israeli troops Wednesday during a raid in the occupied West Bank. They also illustrated the deep sensitivities over east Jerusalem -- which is claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians and has sparked repeated rounds of violence. Abu Akleh, 51, was a household name across the Arab world, synonymous with Al Jazeera’s coverage of life under Israeli rule, which is well into its sixth decade with no end in sight. A 25-year veteran of the satellite channel, she was revered by Palestinians as a local hero. Thousands of people, many waving Palestinian ﬂags and chanting “Palestine! Palestine!” attended the funeral. It was believed to be the largest Palestinian funeral in Jerusalem since Faisal Husseini, a Palestinian leader and scion of a prominent family, died in Maya Levin | AP Israeli police confront mourners carrying the casket of slain Al Jazeera veteran journalist Shireen Abu Akleh during her funeral in east Jerusalem on Friday. Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American reporter who covered the Mideast conflict for more than 25 years, was shot dead Wednesday during an Israeli military raid in the West Bank town of Jenin. 2001. Ahead of the burial, a large crowd gathered to escort her casket from an east Jerusalem hospital to a Catholic church in the nearby Old City. Many of the mourners held Palestinian ﬂags, and the crowd began shouting, “We sacriﬁce our soul and blood for you, Shireen.” Shortly after, Israel police moved in, pushing and clubbing mourners. As the helmeted riot police approached, they hit pallbearers, causing one man to lose control of the casket as it dropped toward the ground. Police ripped Palestinian ﬂags out of people’s hands and ﬁred stun grenades to disperse the crowd. Abu Akleh’s brother, Tony, said the scenes “prove that Shireen’s reports and honest words ... had a powerful impact.” Al Jazeera correspondent Givara Budeiri said the police crackdown was like killing Abu Akleh again. “It seems her voice isn’t silent,” she said during a report by the broadcaster. East Jerusalem, home to the city’s most important Jewish, Muslim and Christian holy sites, was captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. It claims all of the city as its eternal capital and has annexed the eastern sector in a move that is not internationally recognized. The Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state. Israel routinely clamps down on any displays of support for Palestinian statehood. The conﬂicting claims to east Jerusalem often spill over into violence, helping fuel an 11-day war between Israel and Gaza militants last year and more recently sparking weeks of unrest at the city’s most sensitive holy site. Outside of prayers at the Al Aqsa Mosque, Israel rarely allows large Palestinian gatherings in east Jerusalem and routinely clamps down on any displays of support for Palestinian statehood. Police said the crowd at the hospital was chanting “nationalist incitement,” ignored calls to stop and threw stones at them. “The policemen were forced to act,” police said. They issued a video in which a commander outside the hospital warns the crowd that police will come in if they don’t stop their incitement and “nationalist songs.” Musk puts Twitter buy on hold, casting doubt on $44B deal DETROIT — Tesla billionaire Elon Musk has put his plan to buy Twitter on temporary hold, raising fresh doubts about whether he’ll proceed with the $44 billion acquisition. Musk tweeted early Friday that he wanted to pinpoint the number of spam and fake accounts on the social media platform. He has been vocal about his desire to clean up Twitter’s problem with “spam bots” that mimic real people, and he appeared to question whether Twitter was underreporting them. But the company has disclosed in regulatory ﬁlings that its bot estimates might be low for at least two years, leading some analysts to believe that Musk could be raising the issue as a reason to back out of the purchase. “Twitter deal temporarily on hold pending details supporting calculation that spam/ fake accounts do indeed represent less than 5% of users,” Musk tweeted Friday morning, indicating he’s skeptical that the number of inauthentic accounts is that low. On Friday, Musk subsequently tweeted that he’s “still committed to acquisition.” Neither Twitter nor Musk responded Friday to requests for comment. Musk has conducted a long ﬂirtation with Twitter that culminated in an April deal to acquire than we have estimated,” the ﬁling says. A review of Twitter ﬁlings with the SEC shows that the company’s estimate of spam bot accounts and similar language expressing uncertainty about it have been in Twitter’s quarterly and annual reports for at least two years, well before Musk made his offer. Sara Silver, a professor of business journalism and ﬁnancial communication at Quinnipiac University, said it appears Musk is using the number of spam accounts as a pretext to pull out of the deal.

Blue Angels win sectional title By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — It hasn’t been as long as you might think, but the Blue Angels girls varsity soccer program — which completed year four this past fall at the varsity level — didn’t exist the last time this happened. The Gallia Academy softball team captured the program’s ﬁrst district berth in four years Thursday night with a thrilling 8-5 victory over host Unioto in a Division II sectional ﬁnal held in Ross County. The Blue Angels (13-7) had at least one baserunner in all but one of the ﬁrst ﬁve innings of play, but the guests still found themselves staring at a 3-0 deﬁcit through ﬁve complete. GAHS, however, answered with four runs in the top of the sixth for a permanent lead of 4-3, then added another four scores in the seventh to push its 1-run edge out to 8-3. UHS (19-3) responded with two runs in the seventh and had the bases loaded with two away in the home half of the seventh, but Bella Barnette recorded a strikeout in the ﬁnal at-bat — allowing the Blue Angels to capture the program’s ﬁrst sectional championship since the 2018 campaign. Ironically, GAHS and nobody out, Grace Truance received a walk that pushed Nida plateward for a 3-1 contest. Maddi Meadows followed with 1-out, 2-RBI double to left-center that allowed Harrison and Hammons to score for a 3-all contest. Emma Hammons followed with an RBI single that plated Meadows and gave GAHS its ﬁrst lead of the contest at 4-3. The Lady Shermans went down in order in the home half of the sixth, then Gallia Academy picked right back up where it left off to start the seventh. Bree Cemini singled to start the top half of the ﬁnale and eventually scored on a Nida double for a 5-3 cushion, then Abby Hammons reached Gallia Academy sophomore Bella Barnette releases a pitch on a 1-out error.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov welcomed the heavy weapons making their way to the front lines but admitted there is no quick end to the war in sight. “We are entering a new, long-term phase of the war,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “Extremely difﬁcult weeks await us. How many there will be? No one can say for sure.” The battle for the Donbas has turned into a village-by-village, backand-forth slog with no major breakthroughs on either side and little ground gained. Fierce ﬁghting has been taking place on the Siversky Donets River near the city of Severodonetsk, said Oleh Zhdanov, an independent Ukrainian military analyst. The Ukrainian military has launched counterattacks but has failed to halt Russia’s advance, he said. “The fate of a large portion of the Ukrainian army is being decided — there are about 40,000 Ukrainian soldiers,” he said. The Ukrainian military chief for the Luhansk region of the Donbas said Friday that Russian forces opened ﬁre 31 times on residential areas the day before, destroying dozens of homes, notably in Hirske and Popasnianska villages, and a bridge in Rubizhne. In the south, Ukrainian ofﬁcials claimed another success in the Black Sea, saying their forces took out a Russian logistics ship that was trying to deliver an anti-aircraft system. Though there was no conﬁrmation from Russia, and no casualties were reported. In the ruined southern port of Mariupol, Ukrainian ﬁghters holed up in a steel plant faced continued Russian attacks on the last stronghold of resistance in the city. Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of Ukraine’s Azov Regiment, said his troops will hold out “as long as they can” despite shortages of ammunition, food, water and medicine. Justin Crump, a former British tank commander who is now a security consultant, said Moscow’s losses have forced it to downsize its objectives in Ukraine. He said the Russians have had to use hastily patched-together units that haven’t trained together. “This is not going to be quick. So we’re settled in for a summer of ﬁghting at least. I think the Russian side is very clear that this is going to take a long time,” he said. In the ﬁrst war crime case brought to trial, Russian Sgt. Vadim Shyshimarin, 21, could get life in prison if convicted of shooting a Ukrainian man in the head through an open car window in a village in the northeastern Sumy region on Feb. 28, four days into the invasion. Ukrainian Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova said she is readying war crimes cases against 41 Russian soldiers for offenses including bombing civilian infrastructure, killing civilians, rape and looting. It was not immediately clear how many of the suspects are in Ukrainian hands and how many would be tried in absentia. In a small Kyiv courtroom, scores of journalists witnessed the start of the wartime proceedings, which will be closely watched by international observers to make sure the trial is fair. The defendant, dressed in a blue and gray hoodie and gray sweatpants, sat in a small glass cage during the proceedings, which lasted about 15 minutes and will resume on Wednesday. Shyshimarin was asked a series of questions, including whether he understood his rights and whether he wanted a jury trial. He declined the latter. istrative requirements.
