Speaking with Ohio Valley Publishing on Monday, Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood said his office, along with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and law enforcement agencies in West Virginia, continue to investigate the shooting death of Kane Roush, 25, of Pomeroy. “We are continuing to investigate and follow leads,” said Wood. He added that BCI is assisting with the processing of evidence in the case, including the autopsy report and evidence gathered at the scene of the shooting. Numerous interviews have also been conducted as part of the investigation. Wood added that he “understands the concern in the community” and assured that they have an “excellent team” working to resolve the case. Wood previously stated that he does not believe there is a threat to the community in connection with the case. As previously reported by Ohio Valley Publishing, a call was received just before 5 a.m. on Easter Sunday of shots fired at a residence on Legion Terrace in Pomeroy. The victim of the shooting was able to crawl toward the residence next door for help, with the neighbor calling for law enforcement. When law enforcement arrived they found Roush on the ground with gunshot wounds. Law enforcement officials were able to communicate with Roush before he passed away. Roush died of his injuries after being transported from the scene by Meigs County EMS to the Holzer Meigs ER. Roush’s body was sent for an autopsy. Wood asked anyone with information related to the case to contact local law enforcement. Roush, a native of Mason County, was remembered on Sunday evening with a candlelight memorial at the Wahama High School football field where he was a standout athlete during his high school days. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Patrol investigates Ohio Statehouse break-in, vandalism COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man broke into the Ohio Statehouse overnight, used a fire extinguisher to spray chemicals on the historic building’s Rotunda floor, and then called 911 seeking medical help, according to the State Highway Patrol. Columbus police responding to the call Monday found the man outside on the west lawn of the downtown building near the monument to former Ohio governor and president William McKinley. The man appeared to be under the influence of drugs, said Lt. Craig Cvetan, a patrol spokesman. “During a subsequent interview, the man indicated he was attempting to get medical assistance for a reaction related to his use of illegal narcotics,” Cvetan said. The man is being treated at a downtown hospital.

Mass vaccine clinic in Racine By David Crary and Iris Samuels Associated Press About 40% of all abortions in the U.S. are now done through medication — rather than surgery — and that option has become all the more pivotal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Abortion rights advocates say the pandemic has demonstrated the value of medical care provided virtually, including the privacy and convenience of abortions taking place in a woman’s home, instead of a clinic. Abortion opponents, worried the method will become increasingly prevalent, are pushing legislation in several Republican-led states to restrict it and in some cases, ban providers from prescribing abortion medication via telemedicine. Ohio enacted a ban this year, proposing felony charges for doctors who violate it. The law was set to take effect next week, but a judge has temporarily blocked it in response to a Planned Parenthood lawsuit. In Montana, Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte is expected to sign a ban on telemedicine abortions. The measure’s sponsor, Rep. Sharon Greef, has called medication abortions “the Wild West of the abortion industry” and says the drugs should be taken under close supervision of medical professionals, “not as part of a Red Cross blood drives Special board meetings Wahama banquet canceled Pomeroy Alumni Scholarships do-it-yourself abortion far from a clinic or hospital.” Opponents of the bans say telemedicine abortions are safe, and outlawing them would have a disproportionate effect on rural residents who face long drives to the nearest abortion clinic. “When we look at what state legislatures are doing, it becomes clear there’s no medical basis for these restrictions,” said Elisabeth Smith, chief counsel for state policy and advocacy with the Center for Reproductive Rights. “They’re only meant to make it more difficult to access this incredibly safe medication and sow doubt into the relationship between patients and providers.” Other legislation has sought to outlaw delivery of abortion pills by mail, shorten the 10-week window in which the method is allowed, and require doctors to tell women undergoing druginduced abortions that the process can be reversed midway through — a claim that critics say is not backed by science. It’s part of a broader wave of anti-abortion measures numerous states are considering this year, including some that would ban nearly all abortions. The bills’ supporters hope the U.S. Supreme Court, now with a 6-3 conservative majority, might be open to overturning or weakening the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established the nationwide right to end pregnancies. Legislation targeting medication abortion was inspired in part by developments during the pandemic, when the Food and Drug Administration — under federal court order — eased restrictions on abortion pills so they could be sent by mail. A requirement for women to pick them up in person is back, but abortion opponents worry the Biden administration will end those restrictions permanently. Abortionrights groups are urging that step. With the rules lifted in December, Planned Parenthood in the St. Louis region would mail pills for telemedicine abortions overseen by its health center in Fairview Heights, Illinois. A single mother from Cairo, Illinois, more than a two-hour drive from the clinic, chose that option. She learned she was pregnant just a few months after giving birth to her second child. “It wouldn’t have been a good situation to bring another child into the world,” said the 32-year-old woman, who spoke on the condition her name not be used to protect her family’s privacy. “The fact that I could do it in the comfort of my own home was a good feeling,” she added.

Mindy Kearns | Courtesy Former Wahama Head Football Coach Ed Cromley and Coach Joe Johnson are pictured at left with their wives at the Kane Roush memorial service, held on the school football field Sunday evening. Cromley was one of the coaches speaking during the ceremony about the late Roush, who was fatally shot on Easter morning in Pomeroy. Memorial From page 1 “force of nature.” He said even when Roush was in elementary school, coaches were told they had a “special one coming.” He said as an athlete, Roush was a force of nature, and it was unbelievable what he could do. But most of all, Barr said, Roush was a force of nature as a human being. He described Roush as friendly to everyone and well-loved. He told those attending that while everyone is questioning why anyone would want to hurt Roush and is sad, someday something Roush did or said would be remembered and bring a smile. Roush’s brother, Austin Cole, spoke of Roush’s explosiveness on the football field on Friday nights that Mindy Kearns | Courtesy Lanterns were launched during a memorial service Sunday for the late Kane Roush, a former Wahama standout athlete. brought so many out to watch. He reminisced of younger days playing backyard football, where no one could keep up with Roush. And while he said many would expect a moment of silence at such an occasion, he led the crowd in raising their heads and yelling, “We love you, Kane Roush.” A song, “Number 15,” signifying Roush’s football number, was played prior to the lighting of the candles and the balloon and lantern launch. It was written and sung by Bretton Casto, local guitarist and vocalist. Roush’s service was held April 8 at Northbend Church.

On this date: In 1743, the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, was born in Shadwell in the Virginia Colony. In 1861, at the start of the Civil War, Fort Sumter in South Carolina fell to Confederate forces. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. on the 200th anniversary of the third American president’s birth. In 1964, Sidney Poitier became the first Black performer in a leading role to win an Academy Award for his performance in “Lilies of the Field.” In 1992, the Great Chicago Flood took place as the city’s century-old tunnel system and adjacent basements filled with water from the Chicago River. “The Bridges of Madison County,” a romance novel by Robert James Waller, was published by Warner Books. In 1997, Tiger Woods became the youngest person to win the Masters Tournament and the first player of partly African heritage to claim a major golf title. In 1999, right-to-die advocate Dr. Jack Kevorkian was sentenced in Pontiac, Michigan, to 10 to 25 years in prison for second-degree murder in the lethal injection of a Lou Gehrig’s disease patient. (Kevorkian ended up serving eight years.) In 2005, a defiant Eric Rudolph pleaded guilty to carrying out the deadly bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and three other attacks in back-to-back court appearances in Birmingham, Alabama, and Atlanta. Five years ago: A task force issued a report saying that Chicago police had “no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color.” One year ago: President Donald Trump claimed “total” authority to decide how and when to reopen the economy after weeks of tough social distancing guidelines; governors from both parties quickly pointed out that they had primary responsibility for public safety in their states. Education From page 1 Training Centers. The New York Times article referenced job training at no cost until the student is hired. American Diesel Training Centers partners with Social Finance, a non-profit company that helps fund the training and tuition for students. Spurlock said the “vast majority” of students at the training centers are funded through Social Finance. Spurlock said Social Finance pays American Diesel Training a portion of the students tuition when they begin the program. Depending on the students wage after completion of the program, a monthly payment will be made. Spurlock said funding through Social Finance was an answer to a problem in the program. He said the centers had the educational model, but funding for some students was an issue because federal student loans were not accepted. For Spurlock, getting people through the fiveweek program is all about helping them get meaningful jobs to have careers with economic mobility. Spurlock said the typical student at American Diesel Training Centers is a 27 year old in a relationship with children and are working low-skill, low-wage and high-effort jobs. “People leave our program making just under $14,000 more than they did when they came into the program,” Spurlock said. “Social Finance opens up an entire new world of opportunity for students who never would have seen it.” Spurlock said there was recently a fellow Gallipolis resident in the program — Dustin Bickers. “I had no idea he was from Gallipolis until just before he started in our program,” Spurlock told Ohio Valley Publishing, noting how things “come full circle.” © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Vandalism From page 1 The man broke a window to get inside, broke a second window once inside the building, and broke a third to escape, Cvetan said. Statehouse maintenance workers were cleaning up the mess Monday, The Blade reported. In June, the exterior of the Statehouse was defaced with red hand prints and the phrase “hands up, don’t shoot” in protest of police brutality. In late May, people protesting the death of George Floyd smashed 28 Statehouse windows; damaged doors, light poles and flags; and dumped several garbage cans. One person briefly entered an office through a broken window but retreated before troopers within the building could catch him. �S ports Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, April 13, 2021 5 Point wins Region 4 AA-A title By Bryan Walters although neither competed in a championship final.

Lieb new variants of the coronavirus lead to another surge in cases. Governors have been acting under the authority of emergency response laws that in some states date back decades and weren’t crafted with an indefinite health crisis in mind. “A previous legislature back in the ’60s, fearing a nuclear holocaust, granted tremendous powers” to the governor, said Idaho state Rep. Jason Monks, a Republican and the chamber’s assistant majority leader. “This was the first time I think that those laws were really stress-tested,” he said. Like many governors, Idaho Gov. Brad Little has repeatedly extended his monthlong emergency order since originally issuing it last spring. A pair of bills nearing final approval would prohibit him from declaring an emergency for more than 60 days without legislative approval. The Republican governor also would be barred from suspending constitutional rights, restricting the ability of people to work, or altering state laws like he did by suspending in-person voting and holding a mail-only primary election last year. A measure that recently passed New Hampshire’s Republican-led House also would prohibit governors from indefinitely renewing emergency declarations, as GOP American Legislative Exchange Council, an association of conservative lawmakers and businesses. It wrote a model As governors loosen longlasting coronavirus restrictions, “Emergency Power Limitation Act” for lawmakers to follow. state lawmakers across the Though the pushback is comU.S. are taking actions to significantly limit the power they ing primarily from Republican could wield in future emergen- lawmakers, it is not entirely partisan. cies.

Chris Sununu has done every 21 days for the past year. It would halt emergency orders after 30 days unless renewed by lawmakers. Next month, Pennsylvania voters will decide a pair of constitutional amendments to limit disaster emergency declarations to three weeks, rather than three months, and require legislative approval to extend them. The Republican-led Legislature placed the measures on the ballot after repeatedly failing to reverse the policies Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf implemented to try to contain the pandemic. In Indiana, the Republicanled Legislature and GOP governor are embroiled in a power struggle over executive powers. The Legislature approved a bill this past week that would give lawmakers greater authority to intervene in gubernatorially declared emergencies by calling themselves into special session. The House Republican leader said the bill was not “anti-governor” but a response to a generational crisis. Gov. Eric Holcomb, who has issued more than 60 executive orders during the pandemic, vetoed the bill Friday. He contends the legislature’s attempt to expand its power could violate the state Constitution. Legislative leaders said they intend to override the veto, potentially setting up a legal clash between the legislative and executive branches. Unlike Congress and most states, Indiana lawmakers can override a veto with a simple majority of both houses. Several other governors also have vetoed bills limiting their emergency authority or increasing legislative powers. In Michigan, where new variants are fueling a rise in COVID-19 cases, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed GOP-backed legislation last month that would have ended state health department orders after 28 days unless lengthened by lawmakers. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, contended that legislation allowing lawmakers to rescind his public health orders “jeopardizes the safety of every Ohioan.” But the Republicanled Legislature overrode his veto the next day. “It’s time for us to stand up for the legislative branch,” sponsoring Sen. Rob McColley told his colleagues. Kentucky’s GOP-led Legislature overrode Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear’s vetoes of bills limiting his emergency powers, but a judge temporarily blocked the laws from taking effect. The judge said they are “likely to undermine, or even cripple, the effectiveness of public health measures.” US colleges divided over requiring student vaccinations By Collin Binkley AP Education Writer BOSTON — U.S. colleges hoping for a return to normalcy next fall are weighing how far they should go in urging students to get the COVID19 vaccine, including whether they should — or legally can — require it. Universities including Rutgers, Brown, Cornell and Northeastern recently told students they must get vaccinated before returning to campus next fall. They hope to achieve herd immunity on campus, which they say would allow them to loosen spacing restrictions in classrooms and dorms. Phil Long | AP Kent State University students get their COVID-19 vaccinations Thursday in Kent, Ohio.

It makes no difference that the shots haven’t been given full approval, he said, noting that many colleges already require students to take coronavirus tests that are approved under the same FDA emergency authorization. But there’s also no federal guidance explicitly permitting vaccination mandates. The biggest clashes could come in states taking a stance against vaccination requirements, he said. 70° 35° Wilkesville 69/44 POMEROY Jackson 71/46 69/45 Ravenswood Rio Grande 71/48 70/46 Centerville POINT PLEASANT Ripley 65/43 GALLIPOLIS 71/47 70/48 70/47 South Shore Greenup 68/50 67/48 32 Logan 67/42 McArthur 69/42 Lucasville 67/47 Source: Hamilton County Department of Environmental Services 0 50 100 150 200 Chillicothe 67/43 Very High Primary: oak, other Mold: 195 Mostly cloudy confidence for the entire community that we are taking all appropriate measures.” Northeastern and other colleges requiring shots believe they’re on solid legal ground. It’s not unusual for colleges to require students to be vaccinated for other types of diseases, and a California court last year upheld a flu shot requirement at the University of California system. But legal scholars say the COVID-19 vaccines’ emergency use status moves the issue to a legal gray area that’s likely to be challenged in court, and some colleges may take a more cautious approach to avoid litigation.

The question looms large as more colleges plan to shift back from remote to in-person instruction. Many schools have launched vaccination blitzes to get students immunized before they leave for the summer. At some schools, the added requirement is meant to encourage holdouts and to build confidence that students and faculty will be safe on campus. “It takes away any ambiguity about whether individuals should be vaccinated,” said Kenneth Henderson, the chancellor of Northeastern University in Boston. “It also provides a level of St. Albans 70/49 Clendenin 69/49 Charleston 69/48 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
