Judge Warner issued the following statement via the Meigs County Community Corrections Facebook page on Monday morning: Thank you for contacting the Court. The murder of Kane Roush is heartbreaking, and we would all like to have answers about this tragedy immediately. However, as the Court, the local judicial branch, I cannot be involved in the investigation of any case. There are a number of reasons why I cannot, on my own, request the Ohio Bureau of Investigation (BCI) or the Attorney General to conduct the investigation or control the prosecutor’s presentation of any case or request for prosecutorial assistance from the AG. First, and foremost is that the Court can only take an action, make a decision or orders, when a matter or request is filed in the Court by someone with standing. The Court cannot do anything based upon a phone call or an email from concerned citizens. The prosecuting attorney brings all criminal actions to the Common Pleas Court after Law Enforcement has completed an investigation. What potential charges are brought are at the discretion of the Prosecutor and eventually the Grand Jury. The Court does not appoint the Attorney General to provide assistance as a special prosecutor or as a special assistant prosecutor without a request from the prosecuting attorney. It is only AFTER that investigation and filing of charges that the Court can get involved. Members of the public are not allowed to dictate or control the manner in which the law enforcement agency or agencies conduct the investigation or how the prosecuting attorney presents the potential criminal case. Additionally, I cannot be involved in or take part in an investigation, not only because I am from the wrong branch of government to do that, but also because if I have knowledge of a situation, outside what is presented in the Court proceedings, that likely would create a conflict of interest and then I would not be able to sit as judge on the case. If that happened, the County would have the expense (and possible delays) of a visiting judge to sit by assignment. Apparently, there has been incorrect or confusing information put out on social media, emails and messages about what I can do, as Common Pleas Court Judge, on my own. My understanding with prior inquiries was that I would not be able to do so on my own. I have made extensive inquires to see whether that is still the case. I wanted to make sure there has been no change in the procedure for requests of the Attorney General and BCI assistance, since I last checked. I found that the rules have not changed. A Common Pleas Court Judge does not have the ability, absent a valid request from law enforcement or a prosecutor, to request the BCI or Attorney General to take charge of an investigation or prosecution of a potential criminal case. Only a law enforcement agency may request investigative assistance from BCI and only a prosecuting attorney can request the appointment of a special prosecuting attorney or the appointment of a special assistance prosecuting attorney. With this in mind, I have asked the Sheriff and Prosecuting Attorney if they could tell me if BCI is involved in the Kane Roush homicide investigation. I have been informed from the Prosecuting Attorney and Meigs County Sheriff that BCI has been involved in the investigation since Easter Morning and continues to be actively involved in the investigation. I certainly understand the frustration with the pace of investigations, in general. But I also understand that often law enforcement elects to have a case fully investigated and completely ready to go to trial before charges are filed. I can tell you that if and when this matter is before the Court it will be given utmost attention. Thank you for your communications and concern.

Six months into the party’s hold on Washington, with Joe Biden in the White House and Democrats controlling the House and Senate, there is a gloomy uncertainty over their ability to make gains on campaign promises. As Democrats strain to deliver on Biden’s agenda, the limits of bipartisanship in the 50-50 Senate are increasingly clear: Talks over an infrastructure package are teetering, though Biden is set to confer again Monday with the lead GOP negotiator, and an ambitious elections overhaul bill is J. Scott Applewhite | AP Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., speaks to reporters May 28 after final votes going into the Memorial Day recess at the Capitol in Washington. Senate Republicans successfully blocked the creation of a bipartisan commission to study the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol by rioters loyal to former President Donald Trump. essentially dead now that Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., announced his opposition Sunday. “We need to move the ball,” said Yvette Simpson, CEO of Democracy for America, a liberal advocacy organization. “We told everyone to come out against all odds in the pandemic and vote,” she said about the 2020 election. The promise was that with Democrats in power, ”we’re going to have all these great things happen, their lives are going to be better. And what they’re finding is that it looks like Washington as usual.” The summer work peri- od is traditionally among the busiest for Congress, but Democrats are growing wary because time is running out for Biden to negotiate a sweeping infrastructure package and other priorities are piling up undone. The days ahead are often seen as a last chance at legislating before the August recess and the start of campaigns for next year’s elections. Schumer, in setting the agenda, is challenging senators to prepare to make tough choices. But he is also facing a test of his own ability to lead the big-tent party through a volatile period of shifting priorities and tactics in the aftermath of the Trump era and the Capitol insurrection. While Democratic senators have been generating goodwill by considering bipartisan bills in the evenly split Senate, they face mounting pressure from voters who put them in office to fight harder for legislation that Republicans are determined to block with the filibuster. Democrats in the evenly split Senate hold the majority because Vice President Kamala Harris can be the tie breaker, Key among that legislation is S.1, the elections and voting overhaul bill, which now appears headed for defeat. But Schumer also said votes may be coming on gun control legislation and the Equality Act, a House-passed bill to ensure civil rights for the LGBTQ community. Fed up by the delays, some senators are ready to change the rules to eliminate the filibuster, which they blame for the inaction. The longrunning Senate filibuster rules require 60 votes to advance most legislation, meaning as many as 10 Republicans would need to cross party lines to help Democrats achieve their priorities. Some senators propose reducing the voting threshold to 51. But Manchin, in announcing his opposition to the voting rights bill Sunday as the “wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together,” also restated his refusal to end the filibuster — for now, denying his party a crucial vote needed to make the rules change that could help advance its agenda. Mini Lady Liberty statue heads to US for July 4 PARIS (AP) — A replica of the Statue of Liberty, smaller but based on the original plaster cast of its big sister on Ellis Island, a gift from France, was given a sendoff Monday ahead of a trip to the United States where it will be displayed for Independence Day. The nearly 3-meter-high (nearly 10-foot high) bronze will make a nineday trip across the Atlantic Ocean later this month, sailing out aboard a container ship from the French port of Le Havre to Baltimore. It will then be transported to Ellis Island, arriving in time for July 4 celebrations. The mini-Lady Liberty is then set to go on display in the gardens of the French Embassy in Washington D.C., arriving there in time for France’s Bastille Day celebration July 14. The statue will stay there for the next decade. The monumental Statue of Liberty in New York’s harbor, by sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, symbolizes the United States’ welcoming to its shores of immigrants seeking refuge and freedom. A gift to America in 1885, it also serves as a monument to the enduring French-American friendship.

Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Eastern sophomore Erica Durst, left, maintains a lead out of the blocks headed around the first turn in a Division III 400m dash semifinal race on Friday at Westerville North High School in Westerville, Ohio. Season ends at state meet By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com A memorable weekend, regardless of where you were. Five girls from the Ohio Valley Publishing area wrapped up the 2021 spring sports season in the Buckeye State at the OHSAA track and field championships held in three separate locations — broken up by division — this past Friday and Saturday around the greater metropolitan Columbus region. Three ladies from Gallia Academy took part in the Division II championships held at Pickerington High School North, while a pair of Lady Eagles were involved in the Division III championships going on at Westerville North High School. None of the local athletes ended up placing in the top-8, which would have resulted in a podium finish and at least one point in the final team standings. All five competitors were also making their debuts at the state meet. GAHS senior Sarah Watts completed her stellar career Saturday by finishing 10th out of 14 competitors in the 1600meter final with a time of 5:18.40. Watts was also a 2-time state qualifier in cross country and an indoor track state finalist as well. Bryan Walters|OVP Sports Gallia Academy senior Sarah Watts, right, hits full stride during the Division II 1600m final held Saturday at Pickerington High School North in Pickerington, Ohio. Sophomore Callie Wilson — who earned an at-large bid in getting to state — tied for 14th out of 16 competitors in the pole vault final Saturday with a cleared height of 10 feet even. Chanee Cremeens, another GAHS sophomore, was 14th out of 18 competitors in the discus final Friday with a final distance of 109 feet, 6 inches. The Blue Angels — who once scored a point at every state meet over a 19-year span — haven’t scored at the state meet since Madi Oiler was sixth in the 300m hurdles back in 2015. Oakwood won the D-2 girls title with 53 points, while Akron Buchtel was second out of 67 scoring teams with 39 points. Woodridge (43) edged out Glenville (42.5) by a half-point for the D-2 boys crown. A total of 78 programs scored at least one point in the D-2 meet. Senior Layna Catlett completed a stellar career at Eastern by placing 14th out of 18 competitors in the D-3 discus final Friday with a distance of 108 feet, 4 inches. Sophomore Erica Durst ended up third out of four competitors in her 400m dash semifinal on Friday with a time of 1:01.15, but Durst ended up 11th out of 16 participants at the end of the three qualifying heats. Durst did not qualify for the Saturday final. The Lady Eagles last scored points at the D-3 meet back in 2017 when Laura Pullins placed fifth in the high jump. West Liberty Salem captured the D-3 girls title with 52 points, while Mount Gilead was second out of 63 scoring teams with 42 points. Minster claimed the D-3 boys title with 41 points and McDonald was the runner-up out of 63 scoring teams with 39 points.

Upon arrival at the cemetery, veterans in attendance will form a tunnel for the casket to be carried through. At the graveside the Ohio National Guard will continue with the services. White’s remains are scheduled to arrive in Meigs County late Tuesday after being flown to Columbus. Sheriff Wood and Ewing-Schwarzel Funeral Home, with the assistance of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, Columbus Police Department, and the Freedom Riders motorcycle group will escort White back to Meigs County following a small service at the airport. The flight is scheduled to arrive around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday evening in Columbus. According to a news release from the U.S. Army, a native of Chester, Ohio, White was assigned to Company E, 2rd Battalion, 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), also known as Merrill’s Marauders. After taking the airfield in Myitkyina, Burma, from the Japanese on May 17, 1944, White’s battalion was tasked with holding the airfield. A month and a half later, he was reported killed in action on July 2. Following the battle, his body could not be recovered. The remains of servicemen killed during the battle were buried in at least eight different temporary cemeteries and numerous isolated burial locations. Eventually, all known Daily Sentinel burials were concentrated into the U.S. Military Cemetery at Myitkyina, including the remains of those who were not identified. In January and February 1946, all of the remains at the U.S. Military Cemetery were disinterred and transferred to the U.S. Military Cemetery at Kalaikunda, India. The exhumation of the U.S. Military Cemetery at Kalaikunda was conducted in September and October 1947. One set of remains, designated Unknown X-52 Kalaikunda, was unable to be identified and was subsequently buried in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu, in March 1949. In July 2018, the remains of service members from that battle were transferred to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. White was accounted for by the DPAA on Jan. 29, 2020 after his remains were identified using dental, anthropological and mitochondrial DNA analysis and circumstantial evidence. His name is recorded on the Walls of the Missing at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in Taguig City, Philippines, along with others still missing from World War II. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. A portion of the information provided by the United States Army.
