Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and David Perdue in Dalton, Ga. Dems prep ‘incitement of insurrection’ charge WASHINGTON (AP) — Impeachment pressure mounting, the House worked swiftly Monday to try to oust President Donald Trump from office, pushing the vice president and Cabinet to act first in an extraordinary effort to remove Trump in the final days of his presidency. Trump faces a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” - in an impeachment resolution that the House will begin debating on Wednesday. First, Democrats called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke constitutional authority under the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office before Jan. 20, when Democrat Joe Biden is to be inaugurated. It all adds up to stunning final moments for Trump’s presidency as Democrats and a growing number of Republicans declare that he is unfit for office and could do more damage after inciting a mob that ransacked the U.S. Capitol in a deadly siege last Wednesday. “President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” reads the four-page impeachment bill. “He will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office,” it reads. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is recalling lawmakers to Washington for votes as more Republicans say it’s time for Trump to resign. Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, joined GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over the weekend in calling for Trump to “go away as soon as possible.” As security tightened, Biden said Monday he was “not afraid” of taking the oath of office outside — as is traditionally done at the Capitol’s west steps, one of the areas where rioters stormed the building. Biden said, “It is critically important that there’ll be a real serious focus on holding those folks who engaged in sedition and threatening the lives, defacing public property, caused great damage — that they be held accountable.” Biden also said he’s had conversations with senators ahead of a possible impeachment trial. He suggested splitting lawmakers’ time, perhaps “go a half day on dealing with impeachment, a half day on getting my people nominated and confirmed in the Senate, as well as moving on the package” for more COVID relief. As Congress briefly resumed, an uneasiness swept government. The National Park Service announced it was shutting down public access to the Washington Monument amid threats to disrupt Biden’s inauguration. More lawmakers tested positive for COVID-19 after See CHARGE | 4 Draft requested to expel member By Tyler Buchanan Ohio Capital Journal COLUMBUS — The office of Ohio House Speaker Bob Cupp has sought a resolution be drafted to expel a member of the state legislature. Though the request does not identify the member in question, this may mark the first step taken to remove from office Rep. Larry Householder, R-Glenford, the former House speaker who was arrested last year on corruption charges for his alleged involvement in the nuclear bailout bill scandal. Sheila Willamowski Boehner, the deputy chief of staff and executive counsel for Speaker Cupp, sent an internal request to the Legislative Service Commission asking for two resolutions to be drafted. The request, made Thursday and obtained by the OCJ, asks for a floor resolution to expel a member and a separate floor resolution to “create a committee to investigate.” Both are asked to be drafted within the next week. Taylor Jach, a spokesperson for the speaker, did not immediately respond Friday to a request for clarification of whether these resolutions AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

OCJ also asked for information on what committee work would be necessary to carry out an expulsion and if a timetable is in place for this effort. Amber Epling, the communications director for the Minority Caucus, said House Democrats are not aware of this resolution effort and have not been contacted by Cupp’s office about expelling a member. Householder, along with four political operatives, were arrested last July on racketeering charges in what was described by U.S. Attorney David DeVillers as being “likely the largest bribery and moneylaundering scheme ever in the state of Ohio.” They were alleged to have been involved in a scheme to funnel millions of dollars in “dark money” to help get a $1.3 billion nuclear bailout passed and signed into law. Two of the operatives have since pleaded guilty. Householder and two other lobbyists arrested have pleaded not guilty. OCJ has left messages requesting comment with two attorneys representing Householder regarding Thursday’s See DRAFT | 4 Drugs reportedly found in vehicle Staff Report POMEROY — Drugs were reportedly found in a vehicle after a call of two men passed out on Saturday. Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood reported, in a news release, that his office received a call of two men passed out in a white van at the ReUp and Stuff Store located on State Route 681 in Pomeroy. Meigs County EMS also responded to the scene. “Upon deputy’s arrival both men were awake and still sitting in the van. Deputies reported that both men appeared disoriented and declined medical treatment. Both men were found to have active warrants for their arrest. After a probable cause search of the vehicle by deputies they located a tan powder substance that was identified as six grams of heroin along with an unknown white powdery substance. Several paraphernalia items, including uncapped syringes were also located in the vehicle,” stated the news release. The males were identified as Darren Howard, 27, of Albany and William Morgan, 58, of Pomeroy. Charges are pending lab results from the BCI&I crime lab and positive identification of the unknown white substance.

They mortally wounded another officer with a blunt weapon and body-slammed a third over a railing into the crowd. “Hang Mike Pence!” the insurrectionists chanted as they pressed inside, beating police with pipes. They demanded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s whereabouts, too. They hunted any and all lawmakers: “Where are they?” Outside, makeshift gallows stood, complete with sturdy wooden steps and the noose. Guns and pipe bombs had been stashed in the vicinity. Only days later is the extent of the danger from one of the darkest episodes in American democracy coming into focus. The sinister nature of the assault has become evident, betraying the crowd as a force determined to occupy the inner sanctums of Congress and run down leaders — Trump’s vice president and the Democratic House speaker among them. This was not just a collection of Trump supporters with MAGA bling caught up in a wave. That revelation came in real time to Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., who briefly took over proceedings in the House chamber as the mob closed in Wednesday and Pelosi was spirited to safer quarters moments before everything went haywire. “I saw this crowd of people banging on that glass screaming,” McGovern told The Associated Press on Sunday. “Looking at their faces, it occurred to me, these aren’t protesters. These are people who want to do harm.” “What I saw in front of me,” he said, “was basically home-grown fascism, out of control.” Pelosi said Sunday “the evidence is that it was a well-planned, organized group with leadership and guidance and direction. And the direction was to go get people.” She did not elaborate on that point in a ”60 Minutes” interview on CBS. The scenes of rage, violence and agony are so vast that the whole of it may still be beyond comprehension. But with countless smartphone videos emerging from the scene, much of it from gloating insurrectionists themselves, and more lawmakers recounting the chaos that was around them, the contours of the uprising are increasingly coming into relief. can Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri gave a clenchedfist salute to the hordes outside the Capitol as he pulled up to press his challenge of the election results. The crowd was pumped. Until a little after 2 p.m., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was at the helm for the final minutes of decorum in partnership with Pence, who was serving his ceremonial role presiding over the process. Both men had backed Trump’s agenda and excused or ignored his provocations for four years, but now had no mechanism or will to subvert the election won by Biden. That placed them high among the insurrectionists’ targets, no different in the minds of the mob from the “socialists.” “If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral,” McConnell told his chamber, not long before things spiraled out of control in what lawmakers call the “People’s House.” Far-right social media users had openly hinted for weeks that chaos would erupt at the Capitol when Congress convened to certify the election results. As the attack unfolded, they urged followers to “trust the plan” and “hold the line.” Just what the plan might have been is central to the investigation. The FBI is investigating whether some of the attackers intended to kidnap members of Congress and hold them hostage. Authorities are particularly focused on why some in the mob were seen carrying plastic zip-tie handcuffs and had apparently accessed areas of the Capitol generally difficult for the public to locate. The assault Thousands had swarmed the Capitol. They charged into police and metal barricades outside the building, shoving and hitting officers in their way. The assault quickly pushed through the vastly outnumbered police line; officers ran down one man and pummeled him. In the melee outside, near the structure built for Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, a man threw a fire extinguisher at the helmeted head of a police officer. Then he picked up a bullhorn and threw it at officers, too. The identity of the officer could not immediately be confirmed. But Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who was wounded in the chaos, died the next night; officials say he had been hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. The staging Shortly after 2 p.m., The mob got stirring Capitol Police sent an encouragement from Trump and more explicit alert telling workers in marching orders from the a House office building to head to underground president’s men. “Fight like hell,” Trump transportation tunnels exhorted his partisans at that criss-cross the complex.

Even before the mob reached sealed doors of the House chamber, Capitol Police pulled Pelosi away from the podium, she told “60 Minutes.” “I said, ‘No, I want to be here,’”she said. “And they said, ‘Well, no, you have to leave.’ I said, ‘No, I’m not leaving.’ They said, ‘No, you must leave.’” So she did. At 2:44 p.m., as lawmakers inside the House chamber prepared to be evacuated, a gunshot was heard from right outside, in the Speaker’s Lobby on the other side of the barricaded doors. That’s when Ashli Babbit, wearing a Trump flag like a cape, was shot to death on camera as insurrectionists railed, her blood pooling on the white marble floor. The Air Force veteran from California had climbed through a broken window into the Speaker’s Lobby before a police officer’s gunshot felled her. Back in the House chamber, a woman in the balcony was seen and heard screaming. Why she was doing that only became clear later when video circulated. She was screaming a prayer. Within about 10 minutes of the shooting, House lawmakers and staff members who had been cowering during the onslaught, terror etched into their faces, had been taken from the chamber and gallery to a secure room. The mob broke into Pelosi’s offices while members of her staff hid in one of the rooms of her suite. “The staff went under the table, barricaded the door, turned out the lights and were silent in the dark,” she said. “Under the table for two and a half hours.” On the Senate side, Capitol Police had circled the chamber and ordered all staff and reporters and any nearby senators into the chamber and locked it down. At one point about 200 people were inside; an officer armed with what appeared to be a semiautomatic weapon stood between McConnell and the Democratic leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer. Authorities then ordered an evacuation and rushed everyone inside to a secure loca- tion, the Senate parliamentary staff scooping up the boxes holding the Electoral Collage certificates. Although the Capitol’s attackers had been sent with Trump’s exhortation to fight, they appeared in some cases to be surprised that they had actually made it in. When they breached the abandoned Senate chamber, they milled around, rummaged through papers, sat at desks and took videos and pictures. One of them climbed to the dais and yelled, “Trump won that election!” Two others were photographed carrying flex cuffs typically used for mass arrests. But outside the chamber, the mob’s hunt was still on for lawmakers. “Where are they?” people could be heard yelling. That question could have also applied to reinforcements — where were they? At about 5:30 p.m., once the National Guard had arrived to supplement the overwhelmed Capitol Police force, a full-on effort began to get the attackers out. Heavily armed officers brought in as reinforcements started using tear gas in a coordinated fashion to get people moving toward the door, then combed the halls for stragglers. As darkness fell, they pushed the mob farther out onto the plaza and lawn, using officers in riot gear in full shields and clouds of tear gas, flashbangs and percussion grenades. At 7:23 p.m., officials announced that people hunkered down in two nearby congressional office buildings could leave “if anyone must.” Within the hour, the Senate had resumed its work and the House followed, returning the People’s House to the control of the people’s representatives. Lawmakers affirmed Biden’s election victory early the next morning, shell-shocked by the catastrophic failure of security. AUCTION SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 2021 AT 10:00 A.M.

And new security officials were quickly installed after the Capitol police chief and others were ousted in fallout from the extraordinary attack on the iconic dome of democracy. A House resolution calling on Vice President Pence to invoke constitutional authority to remove Trump from office was blocked by Republicans. However, the full House is set to hold a roll call vote on that resolution on Tuesday, and it is expected to pass. After that, Pelosi said Pence will have 24 hours to respond. Next, the House would proceed to impeachment. A vote could come Wednesday. Pence has given no indication he is ready to proceed on such a course, which would involve invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution with a vote by a majority of the Cabinet to oust Trump before Jan. 20. House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., offered the resolution during the brief session, and said lawmakers must act to ensure that Trump is “removed from the ability to repeat the seditious action that he took.” It was blocked by Rep. Alex Mooney, R-W.Va., as other GOP lawmakers stood by him. Pelosi said the Republicans were enabling Trump’s “unhinged, unstable and deranged acts of sedition to continue. Their complicity endangers America, erodes our Democracy, and it must end.” The impeachment bill from Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and and Jerrold Nadler of New York draws from Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Biden. Judges across the country, including some nominated by Trump, have repeatedly dismissed cases challenging the election results, and Attorney General William Barr, a Trump ally, has said there was no sign of widespread fraud. The impeachment legislation details Trump’s pressure on state officials in Georgia to “find” him more votes and his White House rally ahead of the Capitol siege, in which he encouraged thousands of supporters last Wednesday to “fight like hell” and march to the building . The mob overpowered police, broke through security lines and windows and rampaged through the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to scatter as they were finalizing Biden’s victory over Trump in the Electoral College. While some have questioned impeaching the president so close to the end of his term, Democrats and others argue he must be held accountable for his actions and prevented from ever again seeking public office. He would be the only president twice impeached. Republican Sen. Toomey said he doubted impeachment could be done before Biden is inaugurated, even though a growing number of lawmakers say that step is necessary to ensure Trump can never hold elected office again. “I think the president has disqualified himself from ever, certainly, serving in office again,” Toomey said. “I don’t think he is electable in any way.” Murkowski, long exasperated with the president, told the Anchorage Daily News on Friday that Trump simply “needs to get out.” A third, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., did not go that far, but on Sunday he warned Trump to be “very careful” in his final days in office. On impeachment, House Democrats have been considering a strategy to delay for 100 days sending articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial, to allow Biden to focus on other priorities. There is precedent for pursuing impeachment after officials leave office. In 1876, during the Ulysses Grant administration, War Secretary William Belknap was impeached by the House the day he resigned, and the Senate convened a trial months later. He was acquitted. Some Republicans warn against impeachment. “They’re not only going to create bad feelings in Congress, they’re really going to create tremendously bad feelings in America,” said Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey. Still, other Republicans might be supportive. Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse said he would take a look at any articles that the House sent over. Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic, said he would “vote the right way” if the matter were put in front of him. Cicilline, leader of the House effort to draft impeachment articles, tweeted Monday that “we now have the votes to impeach,” including 213 cosponsors and private commitments. Ohio Valley Publishing Ohio to expedite payment to Ohioans Federal unemployment benefits are extended until March 13 COLUMBUS, OHIO — Many unemployment claimants in Ohio will soon begin receiving the $300 weekly supplement made possible by the new federal stimulus legislation, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced Monday after receiving the first portion of needed guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor. In addition, existing Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) claimants will soon be able to resume filing weekly claims for benefits. “We are committed to making the updates as quickly as we can so that we can bring much-needed relief to eligible claimants,” said ODJFS Director Kimberly Henderson. “System programming will be needed for this effort, and we appreciate everyone’s patience as that occurs. Ohio stands ready to assist those in need as soon as possible, within the bounds of the new law. Those eligible will receive all benefits to which they are entitled.” Bodimer named Board of Realtors president On Jan. 8, Athens County Board of Realtors held their swearing in ceremony via Zoom, a virtual meeting application. Dirck Everhart, District 4 Ohio Association of Realtors Vice President installed President Joshua Bodimer, Vice President Russell Chamberlain, Secretary Ally Rapp Lee, Treasurer Douglas Green, 3 year director Meranda Chesser, 2 year director Diane Spezza, 1 year directors: Brandon Bartee, David Telega, David Burnette, Shannon Freed, and Sandy Collins. Bodimer states, “Our membership has been rapidly expanding into multiple counties in the Appalachia region of Ohio. I am excited to work with the Realtors of this region and look forward to getting started”. The purpose of the Athens County Board of REALTORS (ACBOR) is to serve the needs of its members, oversee the multiple listing service (MLS), and to advocate public policies beneficial to the real estate industry. Information provided by Josh Bodimer. The federal Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, signed on Dec. 27, 2020 extends and amends pandemic unemployment programs and benefits through March 13, 2021. ODJFS will automatically recalculate PUA and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) claims and notify claimants when they are able to certify for their next benefit payment. Individuals whose CARES Act benefits expired as of December 26 (with the exception of the Federal-State Extended Benefits program) will pick up where they left off and may file benefits retroac- tive to the week beginning December 27. Notably, the legislation does not impact traditional unemployment benefits. In addition, ODJFS expects that the programs and benefits that were extended with little to no changes in the new law – such a full federal funding of SharedWork Ohio, continuation of federal funding for the first week of benefits, and continued claims in PEUC and PUA that still have weeks remaining to file – will be implemented without delay.

(AP) — A West Virginia woman has been sentenced to the maximum 30 to 60 years in prison for her role in the sexual abuse of an infant. Roseanna Elaine Thompson, 47, of Charleston, was sentenced Friday in Kanawha County Circuit Court. Thompson’s ex-fiancé, Richard Smith II, 41, was sentenced to up to 775 years in prison last March. The Charleston Gazette-Mail reported jurors at Smith’s trial were shown videos of the molestation recorded by Smith and Thompson in 2015. The videos were found by another woman, Smith’s now ex-wife, who turned them over to police. Thompson pleaded guilty last month to sexual abuse by a parent, guardian, custodian, or person in position of trust. Smith was found guilty of 20 counts, including 11 counts of first-degree sexual abuse. (Editor’s note: As previously reported by Ohio Valley Publishing, Smith was living in Mason, W.Va. at the time of his arrest in 2018 by troopers with the West Virginia State Police.)

In the aftermath of his arrest, Householder resisted widespread calls from political officials in both parties to resign. Those who called on Householder to resign included Cupp, then-Senate President Larry Obhof, Gov. Mike DeWine, Ohio Republican Party Chair Jane Timken and a vast number of other legislative and statewide officials. A week after Householder’s arrest, the Ohio House voted unanimously to remove the Perry County Republican as speaker. Cupp was voted to replace him. A subsequent motion to remove Householder from the chamber failed, mostly along party lines: All Democrats and three Republicans voted to hear the motion, and the rest of the Republi- can caucus voted against. Cupp told reporters that day the House would hold off from seeking Householder’s removal from office for the rest of the year. Cupp, a former Supreme Court justice, noted this language in the Ohio Constitution: “Each House may punish its members for disorderly conduct and, with the concurrence of two-thirds of the members elected thereto, expel a member, but not the second time for the same cause.” At the time, Householder was running unopposed for another term in office. Several write-in candidates later filed to campaign against him, but Householder was reelected handedly in the November election. The scenario outlined by Cupp involved Householder getting removed; winning reelection; then returning this month for his new term. With a member only being able to be removed once for the same cause, PVH From page 1 Mercy Hospital in Oakland, Michigan.

That is, so long as he is not convicted. Ohio law prohibits a person convicted of a felony from serving in public office, meaning Householder would be removed automatically should he be found guilty in court. In the last term, House Democrats tried another way to remove Householder from office. Reps. Jeffrey Crossman of Parma and Gil Blair of Weathersfield sponsored legislation to prohibit any politician charged with a public corruption offense from taking office. This would have prevented Householder from being sworn-in despite his case still being pending. The bill did not receive a committee hearing.

RedStorm rolls past Carlow By Randy Payton For Ohio Valley Publishing RIO GRANDE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande built a 22-point first half lead and never looked back, cruising to a 96-72 win over Carlow University, Saturday afternoon, in men’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Freshman Andrew Shull (Milton, WV) equaled a career-best with 27 points to pace the RedStorm, who snapped a two-game losing slide and improved to 6-6 with the win. Carlow dropped to 0-2 with the loss, its 58th in 59 outings dating back to the 2018-19 season. Rio Grande shot 62.5 percent in the opening half (20-for-32) en route to a 46-24 lead after an offensive rebound and stickback by sophomore Taylor Mack (Akron, OH) with 1:53 left before the intermission. The RedStorm settled for a 20-point lead at the half before extending their advantage to 26 points, 63-37, following a conventional three-point play by freshman Reedetris Richardson (Atlanta, GA) with 15:29 remaining in the contest. Carlow responded by scoring 15 of the game’s next 19 points and closing the gap to 15 points, 67-52, after a three-pointer by Tyler Roscoe with 11:03 left to play, but Rio countered with a 13-6 run of its own over the next 2:15 - capped by a three-pointer by Shull - to regain an 80-58 cushion.

Across the U.S., where the outbreak has entered its most lethal phase yet and the death toll has climbed to about 375,000, politicians and health officials have complained over the past several days that too many shots were sitting unused on the shelves because of overly rigid adherence to the federal guidelines that put an estimated 24 million health care workers and nursing home residents at the front of the line. About 9 million Americans have received their first shot, or 2.7% of the U.S. population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and applicants on the basis of race.

In 2006, Mehmet Ali Agca, the Turkish gunman who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981, was released from an Istanbul prison after serving more than 25 years in Italy and Turkey for the plot against the pontiff and the slaying of a Turkish journalist. In 2010, Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7 earthquake; the Haitian government said 316,000 people were killed, while a report prepared for the U.S. Agency for International Development suggested the death toll may have been between 46,000 and 85,000. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama visited Tucson, Arizona, the scene of a shooting rampage that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six others; he urged Americans to refrain from partisan bickering and to embrace the idealistic vision of democracy held by 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, the youngest of the victims. Five years ago: In his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama urged Americans to rekindle their belief in the promise of change that first carried him to the White House, declaring that the country must not allow election-year fear and division to put economic and security progress at risk.

Experts say as much as 85% of the population will have to be inoculated to achieve “herd immunity” and vanquish the outbreak. Many states are responding by throwing open the line to other groups and ramping up the pace of vaccinations, in some cases offering them 24-7. In California, one of the deadliest hot spots in the U.S., a drive-thru vaccination center was set up outside the San Diego Padres’ ballpark, with plans to inoculate 5,000 health care workers a day.
