  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate a treasured institution 
in my hometown of Bowling Green, Ohio, the Sentinel-Tribune Newspaper. 
The Sentinel-Tribune, a staple of Wood County has provided news 
coverage for the local community for 150 years and continues to be a 
must-read six days a week.
  The Sentinel-Tribune began as just the Sentinel when it was 
originally established in 1867. The Sentinel served the people of 
Bowling Green and southern Wood County who sought to change the county 
seat from Perrysburg to Bowling Green. In 1906, a merger with the 
Tribune was initiated, becoming the publication we recognize today.
  While the newspaper business has changed drastically since the 
1800's, the Sentinel-Tribune has kept pace. Advances in technology

have allowed anyone to share information at the push of a button and 
news travels quicker than ever. The Sentinel-Tribune continues to adapt 
to serve its readership through daily circulations and a growing 
digital presence.
  The Sentinel-Tribune has proven that it is an indispensible source 
for its readers that want to know what is happening in their community, 
their state, and their country. It's a testament to the leadership, the 
reporters, and the staff at the newspaper that they have been so 
successful for a century and a half.
  Mr. Speaker, a news publication that continues to serve the public 
interest as well as the Sentinel-Tribune deserves to be celebrated and 
honored. The paper remains a trusted and valued news publication that 
has served the people of Ohio for 150 years. I want to recognize the 
Sentinel-Tribune for its years of service to the people of Ohio and the 
local community.
