On Monday, a press release from the Ohio Attorney General’s office, read, “On Jan. 17, 2020, the attorney general’s office received a written petition to amend the Ohio Constitution, entitled “Raise the Wage Ohio Amendment” from legal counsel for the petitioning committee. The petition was certified today as containing both the necessary 1,000 valid signatures from registered Ohio voters and a ‘fair and truthful’ summary of the proposed amendment.” The Associated Press reported the amendment calls for annual boosts in the minimum wage until it hits $13 an hour in 2025. The current Ohio minimum wage is $8.55 an hour. The AP added, the proposed amendment goes next to the Ohio Ballot Board to determine whether the petition contains a single or multiple issues. Backers hope to put the amendment on the November ballot. “Without passing on the advisability of the approval or rejection of the measure … I hereby certify that the summary is a fair and truthful statement of the proposed amendment,” Attorney General Dave Yost said in the letter certifying the petition. The press release from Yost’s office continued, “Once the summary language is certified by the attorney general’s office and the initial signatures are verified by the county boards of elections, the Ohio Ballot Board must determine if the amendment contains a single issue or multiple issues. The petitioners must then collect signatures for each issue from registered voters in each of 44 of Ohio’s 88 counties, equal to 5% of the total vote cast in the county for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election. Total signatures collected statewide must also equal 10% of the total vote cast for the office of governor at the last gubernatorial election.” The full text of the letter to petitioners and the amendment petition can be found at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/Petitions.

Meigs Local recognizes board members Staff Report ROCKSPRINGS — Members of the Meigs Local Board of Education were recognized during the recent board meeting as part of School Board Recognition Month. The Ohio School Boards Association celebrates School Board Recognition Month each January to build awareness and understanding of the vital function an elected board of education plays in our society. According to a news release from Meigs Local, boards of education are a mature and tested institution in Ohio. Their job is to Facebook “f ” Logo CMYK / .eps establish a vision for the education program, design a structure to achieve that vision, assure schools are accountable to the community and strongly advocate continuous improvement in student learning. Board members contribute hundreds and hundreds of hours each year leading their districts. Whether crafting policies, hiring top-notch administrators, listening to staff and student concerns or recognizing outstanding programs, board members always keep their eyes on the prize of student achievement. “Meigs Local is fortunate to have board members who unselfishly contribute their time and talents toward the continuing success of our schools and students,” stated Supt. Scot Gheen. “Even though we make a special effort one month out of the year to show appreciation to our school board members, we recognize their contributions reflect a year-round commitment on their part.” Being an effective school board member is no easy task, particularly in today’s climate of change and challenge. School board members need to be knowledgeable about many complex education and social issues, and carry out initiatives and directives from both federal and state governments. Through dedicated, responsible endeavors, school board members serve the public interest in public education — and serve the needs of our kids. Their public service is an excellent example for young and old alike of the tradition of volunteerism that is a hallmark of American society. Meigs Local Board members are Ryan Mahr, President; Roger Abbott, Vice-President; Heather Hawley; Barbara Musser; and Tony Hawk. Information provided by Meigs Local School District.

AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 436-840) Telephone: 740-992-2155 DEATH NOTICES/NEWS Daily Sentinel Trump team concludes defense Argues against calling Bolton By Eric Tucker, Zeke Miller and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s legal team argued forcefully against the relevance of testimony from John Bolton Tuesday as they concluded their impeachment trial defense and the Senate braced for debate on whether to summon Trump’s former national security adviser and other witnesses into the trial. “This should end now, as quickly as possible,” White House counsel Pat Cipollone declared, capping a defense presentation that painted Trump as a victim and took dismissive swipes at Bolton, the potential witness who has scrambled Republican hopes for a swift end to the trial. A day after the defense team largely brushed past Bolton, attorney Jay Sekulow addressed the controversy headon by dismissing his manuscript — said to contradict a key defense argument about Trump’s dealings with Ukraine — as “inadmissible.” The argument was meant to dissuade Republicans from pursuing witnesses including Bolton, who writes in a forthcoming book that Trump told him he wanted to withhold military aid from Ukraine until it helped with investigations into Democratic rival Joe Biden. “It is not a game of leaks and unsourced manuscripts,” Sekulow said. The argument built on a separate one Monday night from Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz, who said that nothing in the manuscript — even if true — rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Sekulow also sought to undermine the credibility of Bolton’s book by noting that Attorney General William Barr has disputed comments attributed to him by Bolton. The legal team, in hours of arguments, delved into areas that Democrats see as outside the scope of impeachment, alleging law enforcement bias and seizing on surveillance errors the FBI has acknowledged making in its Russian election interference probe. Trump’s attorneys also argued that the Founding Fathers took care to make sure that impeachment was narrowly defined, with offenses clearly enumerated. “The bar for impeachment cannot be set this low,” Sekulow said. “Danger. Danger. Luis M. Alvarez | AP Former National security adviser John Bolton leaves his home in Bethesda, Md., ob Tuesday. President Donald Trump’s legal team is raising a broad-based attack on the impeachment case against him even as it mostly brushes past allegations in Bolton’s new book that Trump wanted to withhold military aid from Ukraine until it committed to helping with investigations into Democratic rival Joe Biden. Danger. These articles must be rejected. The Constitution requires it. Justice demands it.” The case now moves toward written questions, with senators on both sides getting 16 hours to pose queries. By late in the week, they are expected to hold a vote on whether or not to hear from any witnesses. While scoffing at the manuscript, Trump and the Republicans have strongly resisted summoning Bolton to testify in person about what he saw and heard as Trump’s top national security adviser. Senate Republicans spent two days behind closed doors discussing ideas to satisfy those who want to hear more testimony without prolonging the proceedings -or jeopardizing the president’s expected acquittal. The ideas appear to be losing steam as quickly as they emerge. One Republican, Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, was floating an idea backed by Sen. Lindsey Graham to subpoena Bolton’s book manuscript so senators can see the evidence themselves — in private. However, Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat, called the proposal, which would keep Bolton out of public testimony, “absurd.” “We’re not bargaining with them. We want four witnesses, and four sets of documents, then the truth will come out,” Schumer said. Added Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House intelligence committee and the lead Democratic prosecutor in the trial: “I don’t see how the oath of impartiality can be interpreted in any other way than demanding a fair trial that includes witnesses and documents.” Other Republicans including Sen. Pat Toomey want reciprocity -- bring in Bolton or another Democratic witness in exchange for one from the GOP side. Some Republicans want to hear from the Bidens. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell gathered GOP senators again late Tuesday to consider next steps. The Republican leader is encouraging senators not to become tangled in such questions that could delay things. He wants a quick finish without new witnesses or testimony. “One thing about Mitch McConnell -- he does not panic,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota. Republicans are being warned that even if they agree to call Bolton to testify or try to access his manuscript, the White House will block him, beginning a weekslong court battle over executive privilege and national security. That leaves the few senators, including Romney and Collins, who have expressed a desire to hear new testimony without strong backing. Some Republicans say they are happy to read his manuscript on their own time. “I don’t know that the manuscript would make any difference in the outcome of the trial,” said Roy Blunt of Missouri, a member of GOP leadership. And some said they simply don’t trust Bolton’s word. Rand Paul of Kentucky called Bolton “disgruntled”’ and seeking to make money off his time at the White house. Retiring Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, whose perspective has been closely watched, appeared noncommittal Tuesday, saying he would make a decision after the upcoming question-and-answer part of the trial. John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, told an audience in Sarasota, Florida, that he believes Bolton. It’s a view shared by the GOP chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin said he called Bolton on Jan. 7 and asked him to voluntarily appear. “Well, I think the path forward is that we’ve got two days of questions and answers that will take Wednesday and Thursday and and far as I’m concerned, after I finish, hearing the answers to the questions and consider the record. I’ve now heard the arguments of both sides. Then I’ll make a decision.” White House officials privately acknowledge that they are essentially powerless to block the book’s publication, but could sue after the fact if they believe it violated the confidentiality agreement Bolton signed against disclosing classified information. Trump is charged with abusing his presidential power by asking Ukraine’s leader to help investigate Biden at the same time his administration was withholding hundreds of millions of dollars in security aid. A second charge accuses Trump of obstructing Congress in its probe. Trump and his lawyers have argued repeatedly that Democrats are using impeachment to try to undo the results of the last presidential election and drive Trump from office. On Tuesday, as he was resting his case, Cipollone played video clips from House Democrats during the presidential impeachment of Bill Clinton — including several who are now managers of the Trump impeachment trial — in an attempt to depict them as hypocritical for sounding the alarm then about the partisan dangers of impeachment. “What they are asking you do is to throw out a successful president on the eve of an election, with no basis, and in violation of the Constitution,” Cipollone said. “Why not trust the American people with this decision?

Pitsenbarger. As I sat waiting to go into the theater this past Sunday, I didn’t expect much, maybe a documentary of the type we see at times on PBS. As I looked around, I noted this was an Vivian older crowd, older like my Vietnam Blevins Era Air Force Veteran husband and Contributing me. columnist When the movie began and President Lincoln’s words from the Gettysburg Address delivered on Nov. 19, 1863, came across the screen, “The Last Full Measure,” I was enthralled and within a minute of the grisly depiction of American soldiers fighting in the jungles of Vietnam, tears began to slide down my cheeks. And until the film ended, I sobbed at intervals . My students at Edison State and I have interviewed Vietnam Veterans. The veterans’ stories have moved me deeply. An example among the many is Johnny Looker, winner of two Purple Hearts, who speaks forcefully of almost being destroyed physically and psychologically at the Battle of Angel’s Wing on March 8 and 9, 1969, as he watched his comrades-in-arms die. The widow and son of combat medic Joseph Guy LaPointe Jr, one of only three Conscientious Objectors in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor, have spoken to my classes at Edison about Guy’s life before the military, during the military, and their lives following his death at age 20 on June 2, 1969, on a hill in the Quang Tin Province in Vietnam. I have stood at The Wall in Washington, D.C. and have read the panels with the 58,000 plus names of those who gave the last full measure and have read the notes to the dead left there by their children and grandchildren. I have studied the war, read books and poetry that came out of it and helped my son Quentin, who wrote his research paper his senior year in high school on the Vietnam War, locate resources. And I sat at the park in Piqua when sculptor Mike Major’s depiction of Pitsenbarger was unveiled. “The Last Full Measure” traces the trajectory of Scott Huffman, played by Sebastian Stan, to get medic Pitsenbarger’s Air Force Cross upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Huffman moves from a selfcentered civilian interested only in self- promotion to a man who understands war and the sacrifices those who serve make. He is able to persevere, cut through the red tape, and secure the medal for Pitsenbarger who saved over 60 lives before his own was cut short on April 1, 1966, by enemy fire at one of the bloodiest battles in the Vietnam War. The film also tells the stories of several soldiers at that bloody battle played by Ed Harris, William Hurt, Samuel Jackson, and Peter Fonda. The screen writer and director are able to plumb the souls of these men to reveal the complexities of their lives in battle and after battle, the guilt, the pain, the disorientation. The director moves audiences from graphic scenes in the jungle where lives of these young men are mutilated, destroyed to the nation’s capitol and the places to which Huffman must travel to document the stories of the principals and realize his personal conversion. Every man triumphs, however, as the scenes come to a close and Pitsenbarger’s parents live to attend the ceremony on Dec. 8, 2000, where the Medal of Honor, signed by President Clinton, is given at Wright-Paterson Air Force Base at the Museum of the United States Air Force. In the movie we learn that in the scheme of things in American politics enlisted soldiers and members of the U.S. Air Force are not high on the lists of most in positions of power. Right does triumph, however, from time to time, because we care and are willing to translate our beliefs into positive action. As I sat at my computer to finish this column, I realized that as a student at Miami University, I walked the halls of the old high school — which is now senior citizen housing — where Medal of Honor winner Staff Sergeant William H. Pitsenbarger once walked. I was there to take college courses in social and intellectual American history under an astonishing professor. I close my column by suggesting that perhaps those we’ve sent to D.C. should do a little homework: read President Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and do a review of American history, at least the most honorable parts of our history. Maybe then, they’ll be more likely to do their jobs with honor and integrity. After all, that’s what Pitsenbarger and the millions who have served this great country since the War of Independence fought and died for: a country where the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution are honored. Finally, may those who have given “the last full measure” — and I especially today think of Pits and Guy, rest in peace.

Andrew Berry was named Cleveland’s GM and executive vice president on Tuesday, returning to the team after a one-year stint in the Philadelphia Eagles’ front office. Berry was the Browns’ vice president of player personnel from 2016-18, when the team went 1-31 over two seasons and was mired in dysfunction. But owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam believe in Berry and will now align him with new coach Kevin Stefanski, the former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator hired earlier this month. Berry’s fiveyear contract was reported by The Associated Press and others on Monday. Berry will be re-introduced at a news conference on Feb. 5 at the team’s facility in Berea. The 32-year-old Berry is the NFL’s youngest GM and the second African American in that position. He joins Miami’s Chris Grier as the only minority GMs in a league that has been widely condemned for its hiring practices. He also is the fifth head of football operations hired by the Haslams, who have shown little patience with coaches or decision-makers since they bought the franchise in 2012. “We are thrilled Andrew will lead our football operations,” the Haslams said in a news release. “We have always been profoundly impressed with him as a consummate professional who has meticulously studied his craft every place he has worked and is extremely dedicated to utilizing every resource to improve an organization and to enhance his own knowledge. He will be a tremendous partner with Kevin as he embraces the critical nature of his relationship with the head coach. We know he can’t wait to get to work.” Berry isn’t wasting a minute. As the Browns announced his return, he was in his office at the team’s headquarters. Berry joined the Browns in 2016 after seven seasons with Indianapolis Colts, where he worked his way up from scout to leading the team’s department. In Cleveland, he was part of the regime under Sashi Brown that tore down the Browns’ roster by making numerous trades in order to acquire future draft picks as assets. But the organization still struggled to choose the right players. The Browns have only two players remaining from their 2016 draft class, and linebacker Joe Schobert and wide receiver Rashard Higgins are both eligible to be free agents in March. The group did make a few astute selections during that time. Schobert (2016), defensive end Myles Garrett (2017) , cornerback Denzel Ward (2018) and running back Nick Chubb (2018) have made the Pro Bowl. “I’m appreciative of the Haslam family for entrusting me to be a steward of a franchise that is so rich in tradition and history,” Berry said. “The passion for football courses through the veins of Northeast Ohio in a manner that is unique to that of any other region. Our fan base’s devotion to the Browns is the catalyst for such affection for the sport.” Berry returns to a different Browns team from when he left last year to join the Eagles. Cleveland’s roster has been stockpiled with young talent, most notably wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landy, quarterback Baker Mayfield and Garrett. But the team didn’t mesh last season and finished 6-10 after initially being labeled a playoff contender. Berry and Stefanski, who is only 37, could be the tandem the Haslam have always wanted to lead their team. “I’ve always respected him for the way he’s carried himself in this profession,” Stefanski said. “Andrew is extremely knowledgeable and is always looking to improve himself. We share a vision on the type of team we need to build to have the success our fans deserve. I’m excited and very much looking forward to getting to work with Andrew and developing the type of partnership needed for sustained success.” Berry was a four-year starter at Harvard. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s in computer science.

MVP!” They came from hundreds of fans gathered to mourn the death of Kobe Bryant. Candles burned alongside hand-lettered messages scrawled on signs and the pavement. Bunches of flowers piled up, some with purple-andgold balloons attached. Men, women and children of every ethnicity milled around, drawn to the heart of downtown Los Angeles where they had once celebrated five NBA championships won by Bryant and the Lakers. This time, they were united in shock and sadness hours after Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash northwest of the city on Sunday. Like many Angelenos, Bryant was a transplant. Born in Philadelphia, he spent some of his earliest years in Italy, where he learned the language while his father played pro basketball. He later returned to the Philadelphia area and starred at suburban Lower Merion High, becoming the top prep player in the country. But he was most closely identified with LA, where the city’s adopted son thrilled fans with his All-Star moves for the Lakers over 20 seasons. Bryant came to the NBA straight out of high school, a quiet kid of 17 whose parents had to cosign his contract until he was able to sign his own when he turned 18. He was so young the Lakers training staff needed permission from his mother to treat him with medication. At the time, few in Los Angeles thought anyone would assume Magic Johnson’s mantle, he of the “Showtime” Lakers and incandescent smile. In fact, Bryant was always more Michael Jordan than Johnson. Bryant’s killer instinct, tireless work ethic and intolerance for giving anything less than the best in practice and games most closely hewed to the attitude of his idol Jordan. Still, Bryant’s audacity appealed to laid-back Angelenos. At times, it clashed with Shaquille O’Neal, who shared an uneasy spotlight with Bryant while winning three NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. It wasn’t until O’Neal was traded away in 2004 that Bryant took over as the Lakers’ cornerstone, and Johnson endorsed him as a worthy successor. Bryant became his era’s Jordan to his fellow players, while segueing into a beloved icon, embraced across his adopted city. “He grew up there,” Golden State Warriors general manager Bob Myers said. “He grew up and matured and changed and evolved. I’m sure they felt like they grew up with him.” Away from the court, Bryant briefly fell from grace in 2003 after being accused of sexual assault at a Colorado hotel. He lost sponsors and fans and his reputation was tarnished. The case was eventually dropped, and Bryant and his accuser settled her civil suit against him. There were other personal problems. Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, filed for divorce in 2011, but they reconciled a year later. There were disagreements with his parents, too. They initially opposed his marriage and didn’t attend the wedding. Bryant’s mother tried to auction memorabilia of his in 2013, and he successfully challenged her. Those stumbles only served to humanize Bryant among his fans. If they could have relationship and family problems, so could he. Some of Bryant’s most storied moments occurred inside Staples, where he scored 81 points on Jan. 22, 2006, second-most in NBA history. He led the Lakers to two more NBA titles, parading the trophy past thousands of rapturous fans in the streets. Bryant was in the news less than 24 hours before his sudden death. Current Laker LeBron James overtook him as the NBA’s third all-time leading scorer during a road game in Philadelphia. Once famously competitive, Bryant had grown comfortable in the elder statesman’s role, and his last tweet congratulated James on the achievement. Long before he retired, Bryant and his wife started a foundation with the goal of helping families and children. Bryant said he was prompted to act after seeing homeless people in the streets outside the arena on his way home to Orange County from games. Astros, Dusty Baker working on manager deal HOUSTON (AP) — Dusty Baker is working to finalize an agreement to become manager of the Houston Astros, a person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been completed. The 70-year-old Baker becomes the oldest manager in the big leagues. He takes over from AJ Hinch, who was fired Jan. 13 just an hour after he was suspended for the season by Major League Baseball for his role in Houston’s signstealing scandal.

The investigation found that the Astros used the video feed from a center field camera to view and decode opposing catcher’s signs. Players banged on a trash can to signal to batters what was coming, believing it would improve chances of getting a hit. The penalties left Houston scrambling to find a manager with spring training less than a month away. Baker has compiled a 1,8631,636 regular season record in a career where he spent 10 years with the Giants, four years with the Chicago Cubs and six seasons with the Cincinnati Reds before his twoyear stint with the Nationals.

But will also be a challenge for a man who hasn’t managed for two seasons and will have to deal with the fallout from the sign-stealing saga that is certain to cast a pall over Houston’s quest to return to the World Series. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred disciplined the Astros after he found the team broke rules by using electronics to steal signs during its run to the 2017 World Series championship and again in the 2018 season. The Astros were fined $5 million, the maximum allowed under the Major League Constitution, and forfeited their A: Its backlash Today 7:38 a.m. 5:46 p.m. 10:23 a.m. 10:24 p.m. Sunrise Sunset Moonrise Moonset FRIDAY Cloudy most of the time 0 AccuWeather.com Cold Index™ (in inches) THURSDAY 44° 29° Statistics through 3 p.m. Tue. 36°/34° 43°/26° 71° in 2002 -13° in 1963 EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High/low Normal high/low Record high Record low before losing to the Nationals. It’s a chance he wondered if he’d ever get. He spoke to The Associated Press about it in 2018 after he left the Nationals. “Do you ever make peace with it?” he asked then. “You make peace but it makes you kind of lose some faith in mankind, between right and wrong. And you realize in the world, especially in this new world, there’s always been discrimination, race discrimination, but it seems like in this new world there’s age and salary discrimination, which go hand in hand.” His hiring is a stark departure from the youth-oriented recent history of the Astros, who hired Hinch when he was just 41. Baker takes over a reeling from the dismissal of Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow. Baker has 22 years of managerial experience, starting in 1993 with the San Francisco Giants. A three-time National League Manager of the Year, Baker last managed the Washington Nationals, who let him go after a 97-65 season in 2017.
