Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James K. Stanley stated, in a news release, that on Jan. 27, Jacob White, 34, of Shade, Ohio, was sentenced to 7 to 10.5 years in prison for a burglary conviction. The July 2019 grand jury indicted White for one count of burglary, a felony of the second degree, for entering a home in the Burlingham area and stealing electronics, firearms, jewelry, tools, and various other items. At sentencing, White, through counsel, argued for a sentence in the range of two to four years in prison. Due to a number of factors, Stanley argued for the maximum sentence, which was a definite sentence of eight years in prison and an indefinite sentence of twelve years in prison. Judge Linda Warner sentenced White to the term of 7 to 10.5 years in prison. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office investigated this matter. Information provided by the Meigs County Prosecutor’s Office. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Just days before the next application window opens for Ohio’s biggest school voucher program, state lawmakers are considering changing the eligibility guidelines to avoid a sharp increase in qualifying locations. The program, known as EdChoice, is supposed to help fund private school tuition for students from poor-performing districts and schools. That list of places was slated to more than double to over 1,200 schools for the next academic year, which raised concerns about funding and fairness, and prompted proposals to avoid such a spike. Public school officials complained that expanded eligibility would funnel more state money away from their facilities and to private, often religious, schools. Some of those officials pointed to problems with the state report card system, which is used to grade schools and helps determine EdChoice eligibility. They noted there were instances where a low grade in a single category got public schools added to the list even though they or their districts were rated as high-performing overall. The Republican-led Senate on Tuesday approved a proposal to instead exclude such schools from the program and shrink the list of eligible locations by several dozen schools. It also expanded eligibility for a related incomebased scholarship program and provided $30 million for public See VOUCHERS | 2 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, January 30, 2020 DEATH NOTICES MEIGS BRIEFS JEFFERS POMEROY — Terressa Jeffers, 57, of Pomeroy, died Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020, at Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis.

(AP) — West Virginia officials are trying to find someone interested in preserving a historic bridge connecting West Virginia and Ohio. The Aetnaville Bridge, also known as the Georgia Street Bridge, was built in 1891. It lies over the back channel of the Ohio River from Wheeling Island, West Virginia, to Martins Ferry, Ohio. The bridge was originally part of the streetcar system in Wheeling and later converted to a toll road for automobile traffic. It became toll-free in 1953 and was part of U.S. 252 until it was closed in 1988 due to deterioration.

West Virginia AG warns of text message scam Staff Report CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey alerted consumers to a text messaging scam circulating throughout the state. Consumers report having received unsolicited text alerts for packages they were not expecting to have delivered. The text messages will often claim to represent a familiar shipping company, such as FedEx, and may include a fraudulent tracking number, along with a link to a website where the consumer can record his or her delivery preference. “Scammers will use every form of technology and pose as anyone to steal your personal, identifiable information,” Morrisey said. “This is why consumers must always remain on guard. That means never click on an unfamiliar link and never share information without verifying the legitimacy of the person or entity on the other end.” The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division has heard reports of consumers receiving the text message in the Kanawha Valley as well as in Randolph and Mineral counties. FedEx states it will not send unso- licited text messages or emails requesting money, personal information or package details. The Attorney General joined FedEx in urging any recipient to delete the suspicious message without opening it. The shipping company also encouraged recipients to report such messages to abuse@fedex.com. In all instances, the Attorney General urges consumers to never click on an unsolicited or suspicious link and never share personally identifiable, financial or otherwise sensitive information without verifying the legitimacy of the recipient. The same goes for never agreeing to send cash, wire money or provide numbers associated with a credit/debit card, gift card or bank account. Anyone with questions regarding a potential text messaging scam should contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-368-8808, the Eastern Panhandle Consumer Protection Office in Martinsburg at 304-267-0239 or visit the office online at www.wvago.gov.

McDonald’s wraps up tumultuous year on a strong note By Dee-Ann Durbin AP Business Writer McDonald’s wrapped up a tumultuous year on a high note after the company’s CEO was ousted in November. The burger giant said Wednesday it surpassed $100 billion in annual sales for the first time, and notched its highest same-store sales in more than a decade, with growth in all of its global regions. Even as the Chicago company puts a rocky year behind it, potential hurdles have already emerged in 2020. McDonald’s new President and CEO Chris Kempczinski said McDonald’s has closed several hundred restaurants in China because of the new coronavirus. The number of confirmed cases jumped to 5,974 Wednesday, surpassing the 5,327 in mainland China during the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003. Kempczinski said 3,000 restaurants remain open in China, including some that are feeding health care workers. He said the outbreak is worrisome, but China only accounts for 4-5% of the company’s systemwide revenue. That’s less exposure than Starbucks, which said Tuesday that 10% of its revenue comes from China. “Its actual impact on our business is going to be fairly small assuming it stays contained to China,” Kempczinski said during a conference call with analysts. That was a relief to investors, who pushed McDonald’s stock up more than 2% to $216.25 in morning trading. Kempczinski said his top priority is improving U.S. customer traffic, which has been falling for more than a year. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Thursday, January 30, 2020 5 TOPS holds weekly meeting TUPPERS PLAINS — TOPS (Take off Pounds Sensibly) OH#2013 Tuppers Plains met for their weekly meeting at the St Paul’s United Methodist Church.

Jeremy Wadsworth | The Blade via AP, file An algae bloom from Lake Erie appears in 2017 in the boat basin at International Park in Toledo, Ohio. Ohio is rolling out a new strategy to save Lake Erie from the toxic algae that overwhelms it in the summer. Beginning in February, the state will start offering financial incentives to farmers who adopt new agriculture practices designed to reduce farm runoff that feeds the algae in the lake.

Trump made a point of praising Republican legislators for their work in passing the deal but did not mention the role of Democrats, who said that even if they weren’t invited to the signing ceremony, their influence was being felt. “What the president will be signing is quite different from what the president sent us,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. “We were able to make vast improvements. If we weren’t, we would not have been able to pass the bill.” Rep. Richard Neal, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said it only passed Congress because of how the Democrats forced changes in Trump’s original proposal. “They voted for it for one reason, is because of how we shaped and altered the president’s proposal,” said Neal, D-Mass. NAFTA, which took effect in 1994 under President Bill Clinton, tore down trade barriers between the three North American countries and commerce between them surged. But Trump and other critics said NAFTA encouraged factories to leave the United States and relocate south of the border to take advantage of lowwage Mexican labor.

QBs have ties to 49ers, Chiefs MIAMI (AP)— Soon after the Super Bowl matchup was set, Hall of Famer Joe Montana went to Twitter to send out a picture of his framed jer­ seys for the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Fran­ cisco 49ers. Joe Cool will be a champion once again. “You heard from me first. I GUARANTEE my team will win the SUPER BOWL!!” Montana tweeted. Montana won four Super Bowl titles in 14 years with the 49ers before finishing his career with two seasons on the Chiefs when he made one trip to the AFC champi­ onship game. The path from San Francisco to Kansas City is a well-traveled one for quarterbacks with four other passers besides Montana taking that route as starters. In fact, for 11 of 13 years start­ ing in 1988, a former 49ers quarterback led the Chiefs in passing. Here’s a look at the QBs who have started for both San Francisco and Kansas City: Steve Deberg DeBerg began his NFL career with the 49ers in 1978 and was Bill Walsh’s first starting quarterback in San Francisco the fol­ lowing year. DeBerg led the NFL in attempts and completions running Walsh’s West Coast offense in 1979 but the Niners still went 2-14. DeBerg was replaced the following year as starter by Montana and Walsh famously described his tenure like this: “He plays just well enough to get you beat.” DeBerg went on to spend time in Denver and Tampa Bay before joining the Chiefs in 1988. He started 52 games over four seasons and led Kan­ sas City to two playoff berths, beating the Raid­ ers in the wild-card round in 1991. Joe Montana Montana had his great­ est success in San Fran­ cisco, helping establish a dynasty that won four Super Bowl titles in the 1980s. But with Steve Young waiting in the wings and an elbow inju­ ry that sidelined him for almost the entire 1991-92 seasons, Montana was dealt to Kansas City in 1993. Montana showed he still had plenty left with the Chiefs, making the Pro Bowl his first year when Kansas City made it all the way to the AFC title game in 1993 for the Tributes build outside House that Kobe Built Bono spent five years as the backup in San Francisco, serving as the third-stringer behind Montana and Young in 1989-90 and then win­ ning five out of six starts in 1991 when both stars were injured. The Niners traded Bono to Kansas City in 1994 and he backed up Montana once again his first year before leading the team to 13 wins in his first season as starter the following year. He started Thursday Evening 6 PM 3 iM 4 «roa 6 trcna one more year before get­ ting cut when the Chiefs turned to another former Niners quarterback. Elvis Grbac After three years as Young’s backup in San Francisco, Grbac signed with the Chiefs in 1997 for the chance to be the starter. He started the first nine games that sea­ son before getting hurt, but helped Kansas City win the AFC West. Grbac returned for the season finale and then lost the playoff opener at home to Denver. Grbac split time with Rich Gannon in 1998 before starting his final two seasons with the Chiefs.

Three of them were covered before noon. “He meant a lot to the sports world and then he tied it in with being a good family man,” said 23-year-old Bob Nam who grew up in Los Angeles watching Bryant play. “I think he’s probably inspired more people than anyone can imagine and it’s just so crazy that one day he’s here and the next he’s gone.” Steve Bono o co LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fans call it The House that Kobe Built, and since Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash mourn­ ers by the thousands have gathered daily outside the arena where the Los Angeles Lakers’ legend made basketball history.

Highsmith had been rumored to be on his way out since Dec. 31, when GM John Dorsey resigned after two sea­ sons. Dorsey brought Highsmith to Cleveland after working with him in Green Bay. High­ smith, who played six seasons in the NFL, has been linked to a possi­ ble job at Miami, where he was a star running back for the Hurricanes in the 1980s. “I wanted to go in a different direction because my philosophy on football is different from theirs,” Highsmith told ESPN. “I may go to Aruba, or go to the Masters. I’m going to take some time to do some fun stuff.” The Browns were expected to contend this season but went just 6-10 amid endless drama. Coach Freddie Kitchens was fired after one season. He’s been replaced by former Vikings offensive coor­ dinator Kevin Stefanski, who is 37. CLEVELAND (AP) — Andrew Berry has quickly gotten to work on restructuring the Browns. A day after Berry was officially hired as Cleveland’s new gen­ eral manager, the team parted ways with vice president of player personnel Alonzo Highsmith, a person familiar with the Browns’ latest front-office shakeup told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Highsmith, who was with Cleveland for two years, has left along with college scouting director Steve Malin, according to the per­ son who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the moves have not been made public. Highsmith’s departure was expected for weeks and happened once Berry returned after spending one season in Philadelphia as the Eagles’ vice president of football operations.

I think that’s just kind of the way the game is now.” The game is trending that direction so much that Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour tells his team, “You score off the rush and you score on the power play.” Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin said odd-man rushes with defensemen are “the best opportunities to score” and that, combined with the talent of young defensemen like Dallas’ Miro Heiskanen, Colorado’s Cale Makar and Buffalo’s Rasmus Dahlin, has been responsible for much more offense from the back end.

I’ve never seen a guy that size to have that much ability or to carry that kind of swagger. He’s definitely a leader.” The 49ers say the same of the playmaking Kittle, who was selected a firstteam All-Pro this season. The third-year tight end has had 85 catches or more and 1,000 yards receiving in each of his past two years. Kittle is a funloving character whose approach to the game mimics that of a playful professional wrestler. After all, his nickname is “Stone Cold Kittle” — after “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. “I think we’re all a little different, but he’s unique and you see it on the field,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “He has a personality where he goes 100 mph in whatever he does.” (304) 675-1333 or fax to (304) 675-5234 XXX�NZEBJMZTFOUJOFM�DPN�t�HEUDMBTTJöFET!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN HEUMFHBMT!BJNNFEJBNJEXFTU�DPN REAL ESTATE FOR RENT Legals gest stage — and with a worldwide audience watching. “I just think any time he gets the ball in the end zone, I ask him all the time, ‘How do you come up with these dances, man? Just how do you come up with all this stuff?’” said Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Fisher, who was fined $14,037 for dumping two beers on himself while celebrating a touchdown in Kansas City’s divisional round win over Houston. “I don’t know, man,” Fisher added. “I think his touchdown celebrations are one of a kind and will go down in history.” Kelce is also doing a pretty good job of getting himself into the record books with his play. He holds the NFL record for the most seasons by a tight end with 1,000 or more yards receiving with four, and counting.
