Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James Hall K. Stanley and Meigs County Sheriff Keith O. Wood announced, in a news release, that on June 17, 2021, the grand jury indicted Jaquan Hall, 21, of Charleston, West Virginia, on four counts related to the homicide of Kane Roush on April 4, 2021. Hall was indicted for Aggravated Murder, an unclassified felony, Murder, an unclassified felony, Complicity, an unclassified murder, and Conspiracy, a felony of the first degree. “Officers from multiple agencies put in hundreds of hours investigating this matter to get us to this point,” Wood said. “It took time to process all the digital and forensic evidence in this case, but I am glad law enforcement efforts have led to this indictment.” “This indictment is the first step in obtaining justice for Kane and his family,” Stanley said. “My office and law enforcement will continue to work hard on this matter so that we can obtain a conviction which will hopefully finally begin to provide a sense of closure for Kane’s family.” As previously reported, Roush was shot at his residence on Legion Terrace in Pomeroy on Easter morning. Prosecutor Stanley told the Sentinel that he is in contact with Hall’s attorney regarding Hall turning himself in to law enforcement. The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office, Ohio BCI, Middleport Police Department, Pomeroy Police Department, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, West Virginia State Police, Charleston Police Department, Maryland Transit Authority, Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission investigated this matter.

Larry Householder, the federally indicted Republican ex-speaker, Wednesday in a bipartisan vote that invoked their powers to remove a member for the first time in 150 years. The GOP-controlled House voted 75-21 to remove Householder, of Perry County, approving a resolution that stated he was not suited for office because of the indictment. The state Constitution allows expulsion for “disorderly conduct” without defining it. Defiant to the end, Householder reiterated his innocence in a House floor speech before the vote and predicted again he would be acquit- File photo Now former State Rep. Larry Householder speaks at a previous event in Meigs County. ted of accusations that he orchestrated a $60 million bribery scheme meant to approve legislation to prop up two nuclear power plants and then kill a ballot issue trying to overturn the law. “I have not nor have I ever taken a bribe or solicited or been solicited for taking a bribe,” Householder said. After the vote, Speaker Bob Cupp paused the House session briefly while Householder left without incident, trailed by reporters. Householder said he was returning to his southern Ohio farm Wednesday to help his wife plant tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce and sweet corn. Over the longer term, he intends to speak out against elected officials he believes — unlike himself — have in fact acted unconstitutionally. “I can tell you this much,” Householder told reporters. “Fellow elected officials who didn’t like public citizen Householder are really not going to like private citizen Householder.” The full House took to a vote after Republican lawmakers forced the measure to the floor instead of waiting for the expulsion See EXPELS | 3 �NEWS 2 Friday, June 18, 2021 Mason Police Dept. investigating alleged intentional hit and run GALLIA, MEIGS BRIEFS By Mindy Kearns Removal of flowers from cemeteries Special to OVP MASON, W.Va. — The Mason Police Department is on the hunt for a person who allegedly struck a man on purpose with his vehicle early Thursday morning. Police Chief Colton McKinney said the call came in around 4 a.m. that a man had reportedly been intentionally hit with a truck in the stage area of the Stewart-Johnson V.F.W./Lottie Jenks Memorial Park on Front Street. The vehicle is believed to be either a dark colored, older model Dodge Dakota or Nissan Frontier with a male driver, McKinney said. He added the department has a suspect in mind, and is reviewing local video surveillance footage. The victim had not been interviewed as of 10 a.m. Thursday. The chief said the victim is stable and expected to recover. His name is not being released at this time. Anyone having information regarding the incident can contact the police department at 304-773-5201 or through private message on the department’s Facebook page. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

There are 196 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On June 18, 1812, the War of 1812 began as the United States Congress approved, and President James Madison signed, a declaration of war against Britain. On this date: In 1778, American forces entered Philadelphia as the British withdrew during the Revolutionary War. In 1815, Napoleon Bonaparte met defeat at Waterloo as British and Prussian troops defeated the French in Belgium. In 1873, suffragist Susan B. Anthony was found guilty by a judge in Canandaigua, New York, of breaking the law by casting a vote in the 1872 presidential election. (The judge fined Anthony $100, but she never paid the penalty.) In 1940, during World War II, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill urged his countrymen to conduct themselves in a manner that would prompt future generations to say, “This was their finest hour.” Charles de Gaulle delivered a speech on the BBC in which he rallied his countrymen after the fall of France to Nazi Germany. In 1953, a U.S. Air Force Douglas C-124 Globemaster II crashed near Tokyo, killing all 129 people on board. Egypt’s 148-year-old Muhammad Ali Dynasty came to an end with the overthrow of the monarchy and the proclamation of a republic. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson and Japanese Prime Minister Hayato Ikeda spoke to each other by telephone as they inaugurated the first trans-Pacific cable completed by AT&T between Japan and Hawaii. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter and Soviet President Leonid I. Brezhnev signed the SALT II strategic arms limitation treaty in Vienna. In 1983, astronaut Sally K. Ride became America’s first woman in space as she and four colleagues blasted off aboard the space shuttle Challenger on a six-day mission. In 2010, death row inmate Ronnie Lee Gardner died in a barrage of bullets as Utah carried out its first firing squad execution in 14 years. (Gardner had been sentenced to death for fatally shooting attorney Michael Burdell during a failed escape attempt from a Salt Lake City courthouse.) In 2018, President Donald Trump announced that he was directing the Pentagon to create the “Space Force” as an independent service branch. Troubled rapper-singer XXXTentacion was shot and killed in Florida in what police called an apparent robbery attempt. Ten years ago: President Hamid Karzai acknowledged that the U.S. and Afghan governments had held talks with Taliban emissaries in a bid to end the nation’s nearly 10-year war. Yelena Bonner, 88, a Russian rights activist and widow of Nobel Peace Prize winner Andrei Sakharov, died in Boston. Clarence Clemons, the saxophone player for the E Street Band who was one of the key influences in Bruce Springsteen’s life and music, died in Florida at age 69.

Initial votes could start in July. “There was universal agreement we have a lot of things we have to do to help the American people and we have to have unity to do it,” Schumer told reporters afterward. “Good first meeting.” Biden has proposed a historic investment in U.S. infrastructure, spending that goes beyond roads and bridges to include efforts to fight climate change and to shore up what the White House calls the human infrastructure of everyday life — child care centers, bipartisan bill while preparing to go it alone if Republicans try to block the investments with a filibuster in the Senate.

They also proposed going after tax dodgers by bolstering the Internal Revenue Service. One source of contention in the bipartisan group is over a proposal to hike gas taxes by linking future increases to inflation — an idea many other Democrats oppose and that goes against Biden’s vow not to tax Americans earning less than $400,000. The bipartisan group was also eyeing a fee on electric vehicle users. The bipartisan group includes some of the most watched members of the Senate, some known for reaching across the aisle or bucking their party to strike deals. The Republicans are Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Todd Young of Indiana. FirstEnergy, the energy company at the heart of the latest scandal, has acknowledged in court filings making the bulk of the payments in the alleged bribery scheme. The last time the Ohio House expelled a sitting lawmaker was in 1857 when John P. Slough was removed for punching a fellow legislator. On Tuesday, Householder went on to compare the bipartisan efforts to remove him to the attempts by Congressman Adam Schiff and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to impeach former President Donald Trump earlier this year. “This is clearly politically motivated and I think everyone in this room knows that,” he said.

A day before his colleagues voted him out, Householder appeared in front of a committee where he delivered hourslong testimony on why removing him from office would be the wrong thing to do. “Just think of the precedent this will set: Allegations are enough to remove anyone from office,” Householder testified Tuesday. “That’s absurd.” Two of Householder’s co-defendants and an involved nonprofit have pleaded guilty in the case. unproven criminal indictment is not the action implied by disorderly conduct. The proper approach would be an impeachment trial or to wait for the criminal case’s outcome, he said. “What else are they going to bring in and say is disorderly conduct?” Seitz said. State Rep. Emilia Sykes, the top House Democrat, who has been urging lawmakers to expel Householder for several months, said the disgraced lawmaker gave the chamber “no choice but to act.” “Make no mistake, there is no joy in seeing a former Ohio speaker removed from office in disgrace, but this is our opportunity to stand against corruption and to turn a page on this dark chapter in Ohio history and begin to rebuild the People’s trust in a govern- recruited to help him win the speakership and Cupp. Cupp said the federal grand jury indictment was the deciding factor for him. “It seems to me that clearly meets the definition in the Ohio Constitution of disorderly conduct,” he said. Householder and four associates were arrested in July in an investigation connected to the nuclear bailout legislation, House Bill 6, which contained a $1 billion ratepayer-funded rescue that would have added a new fee to every electricity bill in the state and directed over $150 million a year through 2026 to the plants near Cleveland and Toledo.

Bill Seitz of Cincinnati argued unsuccessfully that an veterans hospitals, community colleges and elder care. Together, the American Jobs Plan and the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan make up a wish-list of Democratic priorities that most Republicans say are investments that go far beyond what they are comfortable spending. As an alternative, the bipartisan group is eyeing a scaled-back nearly $1 trillion proposal that includes about $579 billion in new spending, including $110 billion on roads and highways, $66 billion on passenger and freight rail and $48 billion on public transit, according a Republican who requested anonymity to discuss the package. There’s another $47 billion on resiliency efforts to fight climate change and money for electric vehicle charging stations. Biden has proposed raising taxes on corporations, from 21% to 28%, to fund the jobs plan, and increasing taxes on wealthy Americans earning more than $400,000 for the other investments — tax hikes Republicans flatly oppose. Instead, the bipartisan group suggests tapping $120 billion in unspent COVID-19 relief St. Albans 91/70 Clendenin 90/70 Charleston 89/69 Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.

Instead, we should take to heart the counsel of the Scriptures, “Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him” (Psalm 2:10-12 ESV). It turns out that the world is not out of control after all. God is on His throne. He is watching. He is moving. And He is drawing things to their appointed end. Trust in that. Trust in Him.

The bill passed Wednesday is called “Collin’s Law” after Collin Wiant, an 18-year-old Ohio University student who died after ingesting nitrous oxide in 2018. A version of the legislation stalled last year, but it gained momentum after the March death of Bowling Green State University student Stone Foltz in another alleged fraternity hazing. Seven people pleaded guilty to charges in the Wiant case. Seven current or former fraternity members have pleaded not guilty to various charges in the Foltz case. Under the legislation, hazing violations under existing prohibitions would become seconddegree misdemeanors. New prohibitions would make it a third-degree felony to recklessly permit or participate in hazing that involves forced consumption of drugs or alcohol and causes someone serious physical harm. The measure also requires that college campuses provide anti-hazing training for students and faculty, and provide information online about all reported hazing violations. Sen. Stephanie Kunze, a Republican from Hilliard who was one of the bill’s sponsors, said she hopes the combination of stiffer penalties and more education makes people think twice about any involvement in hazing. The bill now goes to the House for consideration. �S ports Ohio Valley Publishing Friday, June 18, 2021 7 Wahama headed to state Lady Falcons outlast Man in 10 innings, win Region IV championship By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com Alex Hawley | OVP Sports Members of the 2021 Wahama softball team pose with the Class A, Region IV championship MAN, W.Va. — Soaring into uncharted territory. The Wahama softball team is headed to the state tournament for the first time in program history, as the Lady Falcons defeated host Man 11-4 in 10 innings in Game 2 of the the Class A, Region IV best-of-three series. Following the regional championship victory, thirdyear WHS head coach Chris Noble discussed making the state tournament, while still being undefeated on the season. “That’s what we were working for, to make it to the state tournament,” Coach Noble said. “It’s pretty miraculous that we’re undefeated at the moment, but we’ll take it, we’re loving every minute of it. I won’t say it’s luck, you make you’re own luck is my opinion. We have pitched great, we have fielded great, and we have some really good hitters. We’re not done yet, that’s for sure.” The Lady Falcons (240) — who won the opening game of the regional tournament 2-0 on Tuesday in Hartford — trailed 2-0 after a walk and a hit batter with the bases loaded in the second inning on Wednesday. WHS only issued four free passes over the remaining eight innings. Wahama answered with two outs in the top of the next inning, as Emma Gibbs blasted a two-run home run to left field, and See WAHAMA | 9 Ohio Senate approves legalized sports betting bill COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Senate approved legislation to legalize sports betting in Ohio on Wednesday along with a bill to allow college athletes for the first time to earn money based on the use of their names, images and likenesses. Both bills now go to the House for consideration. The sports betting bill would allow 53 licenses to be issued for taking wagers on professional and college sports. That’s an increase from 40 licenses in the original version of the bill. The legislation was approved by a vote of 30-2. Twenty-five of those licenses would be available to Ohio’s casinos and horse racing tracks called racinos, which could then partner with outside companies to provide sports betting online or mobile apps. Another 33 licenses would be for brick-andmortar locations that could include casinos, racinos, sports bars or betting shops where people can watch and wager on games. “Our coalition is grateful for the care in crafting a bill providing opportunities for fair market access to Ohio’s pro sports organizations, which produces the games that make sports betting possible,” the Ohio Professional Sports Coalition said in a statement. The bill also allows betting on Ohio university football and basketball games, which the InterUniversity Council of Ohio opposes. Council CEO Bruce Johnson says legalized sports betting will require universities to monitor athletes to ensure they are not involved in point shaving and students are not dealing inside information to bettors. The bill also allows for betting kiosks in bars and nightclubs that serve hard liquor. Betting will be limited to point spreads, total points scored in a game and money lines, which is an odds-based bet on which team will win. It also imposes a $200 a day betting limit. In addition, the legislation would permit electronic bingo at veteran’s and fraternal organizations overseen by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and sports pool betting run by the Ohio Lottery Commission. The Ohio Casino Control Commission will begin accepting applications for sports betting licenses on Jan. 1 and begin awarding licenses by April 1. Ohio could earn about $17 million in tax revenue for the fiscal year beginning July 1 of 2022 and $23 million the following year, according to a legislative analysis. The bill calls for 98% of the tax to be deposited in an education fund and the remaining 2% in a fund for problem sports gambling. Under the college athlete compensation bill, universities or college athletic conferences would be prevented from punishing athletes if they are compensated based on their sports performance. The legislation was approved unanimously.

Paul Adkins photo | Logan Banner Logan High School’s Aiden Slack slides under the tag of Point Pleasant shortstop Kyelar Morrow during Wednesday night’s Class AA Region IV championship baseball game in Logan, W.Va. Wildcats eliminate Point Pleasant By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com LOGAN, W.Va. — The wrong time for the offense to disappear. The Point Pleasant baseball team had its magical season come to an abrupt halt in six innings Wednesday night during a 10-0 loss to host Man in the third and deciding game of the Class AA Region IV championship held in Logan County. The visiting Big Blacks (21-10) were held to just three hits, which came singularly in the first, second and sixth frames. In fact, PPHS mustered only six baserunners total in the contest, with four of those managing to get into scoring position. The Wildcats (24-6), on the other hand, built a 2-0 lead in the third and the score remained that way through four complete, but the hosts erupted for five runs in the fifth and tacked on another three scores in the sixth to complete the walk-off mercy-rule triumph. It was only the second time this season that Point Pleasant failed to score in a game, with the other coming in a 1-0 loss to Sissonville in the Region IV, Section 1 tournament a week ago. Through their 31 total games, the Big Blacks averaged scoring 6.9 runs per outing. Point’s biggest scoring threats came in the fifth and sixth frames after leaving a runner stranded at second in the first and third innings. Riley Oliver was stranded at third with two away in the fifth, then Hunter Bush was left at third with two away in the sixth. Carson Kirk singled to start the LHS half of the third, then advanced to second on a walk to Konnor Bostic. A sacrifice bunt moved both runners up a base, then Jake Ramey singled home both Kirk and Bostic for what Point Pleasant catcher Joel Beattie releases a throw to first base during Wednesday night's Class AA Region IV championship baseball game against Logan in Logan, W.Va. proved to a permanent lead of 2-0 after three complete. Things started falling apart for Point Pleasant in the fifth as Kirk started things by reaching on an error, then moved to second base when Bostic was hit by a pitch. Dawson Maynard cleared the bases with a triple, plus scored on a throwing error on the same play — giving LHS a 5-run cushion at that time. Ramey followed with a double, then Garrett Williamson singled Ramey home for a 6-0 advantage. Tyler Fenwick doubled to put runners at second and third, then a passed ball allowed Williamson to come plateward for a 7-0 lead through five complete. Maynard provided a 1-out double to start the sixth, then scored one batter later on a single by Ramey for an 8-0 edge. Konnor Lowe singled in both Ramey and Fenwick to complete the 10-run outcome and advance Logan to the Class AA state tournament next week — a first for LHS since 2009. “It was a good season. We just played against a deeper, little more talented team than ourselves. Logan has a complete and very disciplined team, and they execute well in different situations. You have to be complete to get to state and be a state champion, and they have a complete team,” Blain said. “We had a talented group of seniors and underclassmen who played well together and dug deep all year for us to have the season we did. We just weren’t quite as good as what we went up against this week.” The Wildcats outhit PPHS by a sizable 12-3 overall margin, and Point committed the only two errors of the contest. Jarron Glick allowed three hits and a walk over six innings while striking out six for the winning decision. Bush took the loss after surrendering four runs, four hits and three walks in four-plus innings while fanning five. Bush, Kyelar Morrow and Hunter Lilly had a hit apiece in the setback. Ramey paced LHS with three hits and three RBIs, while Maynard, Fenwick and Lowe each added a pair of safeties to the winning cause. It was the final baseball game for seniors Tanner Mitchell, Kyelar Morrow, Riley Oliver, Joel Beattie, Wyatt Wilson, Hunter Bush, Isaac Craddock and Luke Pinkerton in the Red and Black. It was the second straight postseason in which Point Pleasant reached the regionals and ended up one win short of appearing at the Class AA state tournament. The Big Blacks last appeared in the double-A state tournament in 2012. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

In February, the Biden administration withdrew gov- ernment support for a federal lawsuit in Connecticut that seeks to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls high school sports. A federal judge dismissed that lawsuit in April. A 2017 study by the Williams Institute at the UCLA law school used state-level, population-based surveys to estimate that West Virginia had the highest percentage (1.04%) of residents ages 13 to 17 among all states who identified as transgender. That equated to about 1,150 teens. The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission, which oversees scholastic sports, said earlier this year that it had not received any complaints about transgender athletes on girls teams. Several Democrats said the bill was discriminatory, but supporters have argued that transgender athletes would have physical advantages in female sports. Some Republicans said the bill was about protecting athletic opportunities for athletes who are identified as girls at birth. “Neither the facts nor the law supports that assertion. To be sure, there remain significant barriers to providing full equity in athletics for female students,” the Justice Department said in its filing. But permitting participation by transgender girls, who make up less than 1% of the U.S. population, “is not one of them.” The Justice Department also said the new law could lead to misunderstandings. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
