DEATH NOTICE/NEWS Daily Sentinel Buttigieg, Sanders lead Iowa releases partial results By Steve Peoples, Thomas Beaumont and Alexandra Jaffe Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa — T he Iowa Democratic Party released partial results of its kickoff presidential caucus after a daylong delay on Tuesday showing former Midwestern Mayor Pete Buttigieg and fiery progressive Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders leading the opening contest in the party’s 2020 primary season. The results followed 24 hours of chaos as technical issues marred the contest, forcing state officials to apologize and raising questions about Iowa’s traditional place atop the presidential primary calendar. It was too early to call a winner based on the initial results, but Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former Vice President Joe Biden and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar were trailing in the tally of State Delegate Equivalents, according to data released for the first time by the state Democratic Party nearly 24 hours after voting concluded. The results reflected 62% of precincts in the state. Buttigieg, the 38-yearold former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, becomes the first openly gay candidate to earn presidential primary delegates. His early strength reflects his aggressive political pursuit of rural and smalltown voters, including some Republicans, who prefer a more moderate approach to address the nation’s political problems. “We don’t know all of the numbers, but Tim Hynds | Sioux City Journal via AP Jeff Lopez holds his son, Tristan, 4, as they and Jeff’s wife, Jessika, sit in an area for Bernie Sanders supporters during the Woodbury County Third Precinct Democratic caucus Monday at West High School in Sioux City, Iowa. Iowans across the state attended Democratic and Republican caucuses Monday. we know this much: A campaign that started a year ago with four staff members, no name recognition, no money, just a big idea — a campaign that some said should have no business even making this attempt, has taken its place at the front of this race,” Buttigieg declared, his voice filled with emotion, while campaigning in next-up New Hampshire. While campaigns were eager to spin the results to their advantage, there was little immediate indication that the incomplete results erased the confusion and concern that loomed over the Iowa contest. It was unclear when the full results would be released. During a private conference call with campaigns earlier in the day, state party chairman Troy Price declined to answer pointed questions about the specific timeline -- even whether it would be a matter of days or weeks. “We have been working day and night to make sure these results are accurate,” Price said at a subsequent press conference. The leading candidates pressed on in New Hampshire, which votes in just seven days, as billionaire Democrat Michael Bloomberg sensed opportunity, vowing to double his already massive advertising campaign and expand his sprawling staff focused on a series of delegate-rich states voting next month. The party’s caucus crisis was an embarrassing twist after months of promoting the contest as a chance for Democrats to find some clarity in a jumbled field with no clear front-runner. Instead, after a buildup that featured seven rounds of debates, nearly $1 billion spent nationwide and a year of political jockeying, caucus day ended with no winner, no official results and many fresh questions about whether Iowa can retain its coveted “first” status. Iowa marked the first contest in a primary season that will span all 50 states and several U.S. territories, ending at the party’s national convention in mid-July. The other early leader, Sanders, a selfdescribed democratic socialist, has spent decades fighting to fundamentally change the nation’s politics and economy. He has attracted significant support from young voters in particular. Before he left Iowa late Monday, the Sanders’ campaign told supporters that its internal monitoring showed him in the lead with nearly half the vote in. Sanders himself said late Monday, “Today marks the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.” Campaigning in New Hampshire on Tuesday, Warren also said she was “feeling good” about her performance in Iowa but questioned the state party’s plans to release partial results. “I just don’t understand what that means, at least half of the data. I think they ought to get it together and release all the data,” she said. Biden also said he was “feeling good” and predicted the results would be close. The party told campaigns Tuesday that the problem was a result of a “coding issue in the reporting system” that it said had since been fixed. It said it had verified the accuracy of the collected data and said the problem was not a result of “a hack or an intrusion.” A Biden campaign representative objected to the party’s plan to release partial results before checking them against paper records, saying in the conference call that the plan didn’t address “growing reports” about problems on caucus night, such as precinct captains unable to get through on the phone to report results. Governor has plan for relatives caring for kids COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday he’s close to releasing a proposal for dealing with an issue related to approved relatives caring for children taken from their parents even when the relatives aren’t licensed caregivers. Ohio has been under pressure from child advocates to follow a 2017 federal court ruling ordering equality in payments to nonlicensed relatives and to relatives who become licensed. The issue has taken on new significance because the opioid crisis has seen a huge increase in the number of children taken from homes because of parents’ or guardians’ addictions. About 16,000 children are in custody in Ohio today, a more than 20% increase from five years ago. Currently, relatives who have custody of their children but aren’t licensed foster care providers — known as kinship providers — receive around $290 per month for one child, according to advocates for the change, though that can vary by county. By contrast, licensed foster care providers could receive hundreds more dollars per month for one child depending on circumstances. That doesn’t include extra payments for a child with special needs. “This is something that we’ve been not only looking at, but working on a proposal, and that will come out shortly,” DeWine said at legislative forum sponsored by The Associated Press.

DeWine said that each book costs around $2.10 and is mailed directly to the child, addressed to them, each month. The Ohio Legislature has provided a dollar-for-dollar match for the program, with community sponsors and others helping with the local funding. The Meigs County Commissioners presented DeWine with a check for $10,000 to help fund the launch of the program in Meigs County. As approved in last week’s regular meeting, the commissioners stated the money is coming from a fund in which the money is from ODNR timber sales, building leases and other nontax dollar moneys. DeWine stated that the donation from the Commissioners, along with the state match, should be able to purchase around 10,000 books for children in Meigs County. As of Monday morning, there were 315 of the 1,380 eligible Meigs County children enrolled. DeWine and Pandora Shaw-Dupras from Easterseals encouraged those in attendance to find the children in the county who are eligible to enroll. “We want every child to enter school on the starting line, and through our partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library we can do just that.” Research has shown that book ownership can be a predictor of future academic success. In fact, studies have found that children with just 25 books in their home were more likely to complete an additional two years of education. Inspired by Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine’s passion for early childhood literacy, the Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library is a partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to ensure children enter the classroom ready to succeed. “Easterseals Central and Southeast Ohio is very pleased to be a community sponsor of First Lady DeWine’s Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library, said Pandora Shaw-Dupras, Easterseals of Central and Southeast Ohio CEO. “Easterseals recognizes the importance early literacy plays in a child’s successful future.” Following the announcement, DeWine spent time reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” to a group of young children at the library. The Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library is working to ensure children in all 88 of Ohio’s counties can enroll in Ohio Governor’s Imagination Library in 2020 by providing a dollar-for-dollar funding match with each county that opens OGIL to its residents. The Ohio General Assembly committed $5 million to OGIL in the state fiscal year 2020-2021 budget. To sign up or learn more, visit OhioImaginationLibrary.org.

Farm boys learned animal husbandry, how to raise crops, and the many trades required to maintain farm buildings and equipment. Our Adams County neighbors have a long tradition of stubborn independence and self-sufficiency. When this country was founded, the majority of Americans lived on small farms, growing most of what we needed ourselves and selling the surplus for cash to buy hardware and dry goods. The boom-bust cycles in big-city financial markets didn’t have much impact on family farms. Times could get hard, but there was always enough to eat. My own grandparents came to this country during the Great Depression, an experience that fundamentally shaped their own lifestyles and those of their children (my parents). Thrift, frugality, and “waste not want not” were unshakable principles in their lives and their households. My Oma had a big vegetable garden, an apple tree in the front yard, pigs and chickens, and a stock of homecanned vegetables and fruit. Most people today were born during more prosperous times. Have we lost something really important? 2020 is a good year to dedicate ourselves to teaching traditional life skills to our children and grandchildren. What better gift can we offer to future generations than the gift of life, the confidence and capability to “shift for ourselves”? Plants and nature offer us a timeless solution to the challenge of survival. Modern technology can help us understand and harness natural forces, but it can never replace them. We are truly fortunate and blessed to live in such prosperous times. Technology and modern transportation allow us to live better than did the richest kings, only a few generations ago. It’s easy to become complacent about basic survival, when you’re living in comparative luxury, but there’s a danger in becoming too comfortable. Nature and plants have a message for us: survival of the fittest remains the guiding principle for all life on earth This year, commit yourself to pass on your love of plants and gardening to a new generation. Understanding, learning and then teaching the basics of survival to our children and grandchildren is a sacred duty, a tradition dating back to the beginning of man’s existence.

When I was a kid, rainy Saturday mornings meant that Dad would work in his garage repairing whatever needed repairing since we couldn’t get into the fields to work. One memory was watching him sharpening his knives on a grinding stone or a grinding wheel. I would marvel at the sparks that would fly from the tools as he would grind away the unnecessary particles of metal to leave a shining, now usable knife or axe blade that was sharp enough to slice or chop anything it was called upon to slice or chop. Well, today, I have an axe to grind. (Notice how I tied these two topics together! Ok, it is a little cheesy.) I consider myself a capitalist. That is, I believe that products or services should be manufactured or provided, and a reasonable price should be asked for and received for said products or services. And when I say reasonable, I believe that within the amount asked should be money enough to pay for the cost of the manufacturing the product or providing the service plus a reasonable margin above break-even to provide for the essentials in life like food, shelter, clothing and a measure of life-style. Further, I believe success comes from providing for or serving many rather than built into the price of one product or service.

(AP) — The city of Tulsa will conduct a test excavation at an area cemetery as part of an ongoing effort to find remains of victims of a 1921 race massacre, officials said. The test excavation at Oaklawn Cemetery, planned for April, was announced during the city’s Mass Graves Investigation Public Oversight Committee meeting on Monday, the Tulsa World reported. The meeting came a little more than a month after investigators announced that geophysical surveys conducted in October had found anomalies consistent with possible graves. Tulsa’s mayor announced in 2018 that the city would re-examine sites in search of victims of the 1921 massacre. The sites were last inspected by the Tulsa Race Riot Commission in the late 1990s and early 2000s. MILAN (AP) — Italian fashion officials on Tuesday forecast a nearly 2% drop in first-half revenues due to the virus emerging from China, which also is preventing three Chinese fashion houses from traveling to Milan Fashion Week later this month. Chinese consumers are the biggest luxury spenders in the world, including in Italy, where they represent 35% of big-ticket spenders, more than Russians, Arabs and Americans combined, according to a 2019 study by Global Blue, a tourism shopping tax refund company. Their absence during the Chinese New Year travel period is being sorely felt in Milan’s MonteNapoleone District of luxury boutiques, where 48 brands have created capsule collections dedicated to the Year of the Rat in anticipation of the usual influx of Chinese tourists.

Wednesday, February 5, 2020 5 Senate split along party lines on impeachment By Andrew Taylor Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Senate is so far cleaving neatly along party lines in advance of Wednesday’s virtually certain votes to acquit President Donald Trump on two impeachment charges, with just two or three undecided members even considering breaking with their party. The chamber’s top Republican, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, again slammed the impeachment drive of House Democrats as “the most rushed, least fair and least thorough” in history and confirmed that he will vote to acquit Trump. The trial is cruising to impeachment tallies that will fall short of even a majority of the GOPheld Senate, much less the two-thirds required to remove Trump from office and install Vice President Mike Pence. McConnell said the two charges against Trump — that he abused his power and obstructed Congress’ ensuing investigation — are “constitutionally incoherent” and don’t “even approach a case for the first presidential removal in American history.” The Kentucky Republican opened the Senate with a scathing assessment of the case presented by House Democrats, but he did not address whether Trump’s actions were inappropriate or wrong, as some Senate Republicans have conceded. McConnell has dodged question about whether Trump’s actions — pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to announce an investigation into Trump’s political rival Joe Biden — were inappropriate. He led an effort last week to deny Democrats any opportunity to call witnesses Alex Brandon | AP Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday in Washington. The impeachment trial of President Donald Trump is cruising to tallies that will fall short of even a majority of the GOP-held Senate, much less the two-thirds required to remove Trump from office and install Vice President Mike Pence. before the Senate, and he has worked closely with the Trump White House in shepherding the case through the Senate. The final days of the trial have focused attention on a handful of senators in both parties who were viewed as potential votes to break with their party. GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska called the president’s actions “shameful and wrong” in a powerful speech late Monday, but she also derided the highly partisan process. “I cannot vote to convict,” she said, though she also sees blame within the Senate. “We are part of the problem, as an institution that cannot see beyond the blind political polarization,’’ Murkowski told reporters after her speech. Other Republicans, such as Sens. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rob Portman of Ohio, also say Trump’s actions to withhold military aid from Ukraine while pressing Zelenskiy to announce an investigation into Biden and his son Hunter were inappropriate, but fell short of warranting his removal from office, especially in an election year. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, one of the very few remaining moderates in a chamber where partisanship has ground much routine business to a halt, is expected to announce her position later Tuesday. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, perhaps the only Democrat seen as a likely vote to acquit Trump, has floated the idea of censuring Trump instead, though the idea doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction. Sen. Doug Jones, a former federal prosecutor and Democrat seeking reelection in strongly pro-Trump Alabama, told reporters he’s likely to announce his vote Wednesday morning. No member of either party has indicated yet that they will break with their party colleagues. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate. Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York weighed in immediately after McConnell’s remarks, accusing the Republican leader and his GOP colleagues of sweeping Trump’s misconduct under the rug. “The administration, its top people and Senate Republicans are all hiding the truth,” Schumer said. The charges are extremely serious. To interfere in an election, to blackmail a foreign country, to interfere in our elections gets at the very core of what our democracy is about.” The Senate is scheduled to vote on the two impeachment articles Wednesday afternoon. Trump is delivering his State of the Union address Tuesday night, a platform in which he appears before Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the powerful House speaker who orchestrated last year’s House impeachment drive. Also Tuesday on the Senate floor, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., repeated a question that Chief Justice John Roberts, who is presiding over the trial, refused to read last week. Roberts’ staff communicated to McConnell’s staff that he did not want to read the whistleblower’s name, according to a Republican familiar with the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak on the record. Paul denies trying to out the whistleblower and notes his question didn’t use the word. He questions whether the whistleblower may have conspired with House staff aides in writing the August complaint that triggered impeachment.

Heymann said as the new virus starts to spread beyond China, scientists will gain a better understanding of it. “What we will see is the clearer natural history of the disease,” he said, as those exposed to the virus “are being traced and watched very closely,” he said. Nevertheless, WHO directorgeneral Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged countries to share more data on infections outside China, adding that detailed information has been provided in only 38% of cases. In particular, he said, “some high-income countries are well behind in sharing this vital data with WHO. ... Without better data, it’s very hard for us to assess how the outbreak is evolving or what impact it could have and to ensure we’re providing the most appropriate recommendations.” In Wuhan, patients were being transferred to a new 1,000-bed hospital that was built in just 10 days, its prefabricated wards equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment and ventilation systems.

Lady Eagles storm past Southern, 51-39 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — Rallying back and running through the finish line. The Eastern girls basketball team trailed host Southern by six points with 7:30 left in Monday’s Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division contest in Meigs County, but the guests finished the game on a 21-to-3 run for a 51-39 victory. Eastern (9-11, 6-8 TVC Hocking) didn’t trail in the opening quarter, jumping out to a 16-8 lead 7:30 into play. Southern (4-17, 1-14) hit a pair of free throws to end the first period, and then scored the first six points of the second, tying the game at 16. The Lady Tornadoes led for the first time at 19-17 on a Kelly Shaver three-pointer with 5:06 remaining in the half, but Eastern was back in front at 25-23 on a two-pointer by Juli Durst with 55 seconds to go. After a 25-all tie — the fifth tie of the quarter — SHS regained the edge one second before the half, with Kayla Evans making a free throw for the 26-25 lead. The guests were held off the board for over 3:30 to start the second half, with Southern extending its lead to 31-25.

The Lady Tornadoes — who had a trio of starters foul out in the fourth quarter — got back to within two points twice, at 39-37 and 41-39. Eastern — which lost one starter to fouls in the finale — sealed the 51-39 victory with a 10-0 run, featuring an 8-for-10 performance at the free throw line. For the game, the Green and White were 16-of-42 (38.1 percent) from the field, includ- ing 2-of-10 (20 percent) from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Southern sank 13-of-50 (26 percent) field goal attempts, including 2-of-14 (14.3 percent) three-point tries.
