Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood confirmed to Ohio Valley Publishing on Tuesday evening that Jaquan Hall, 21, of Charleston, West Virginia, had been taken into custody in Charleston, by the U.S. Marshals. A news release from the Charleston Police Department on Wednesday stated that at approximately 10:20 p.m. on Tuesday, the Charleston Police Department and the United States Marshal Fugitive Task Force arrested Hall in the 800block of Kanawha Boulevard East on a fugitive from justice warrant. “It’s good to have this a step closer in a tragic situation,” said Sheriff Wood following the arrest. “I want to thank the US Marshal’s Office for their dedication and capture of Hall.” According to West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Hall Facility Authority records, Hall was booked into South Central Regional Jail at 12:17 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Hall is being held on no bond on the warrant. He will now have to go through the extradition process before appearing in Meigs County Common Pleas Court. As previously reported, Hall was indicted on June 17 by a Meigs County Grand Jury on charges in connection to the shooting death of Roush on Easter Sunday on Legion Terrace in Pomeroy. Hall was indicted for Aggravated Murder, an unclassified felony, Murder, an unclassified felony, Complicity, an unclassified felony, 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 stated in a news release at the time of the indictment. “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,” Meigs Prosecu- tor James Stanley stated in the same release. “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.” It is unknown when Hall will appear in Meigs County on the charges. © 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing, all rights reserved.

Labra Brothers to perform in Pomeroy Staff Report POMEROY — The 2021 Rhythm on the River Music series continues on Friday evening at the Riverside Amphitheater in downtown Pomeroy. The event will feature The Labra Brothers and is set to begin at 8 p.m. Admission is free. According to information provided by event organizers, The Labra Brothers have formally been a Latin funk band for just a few years. But they’ve been playing together their whole lives. Adrian, 28, is the oldest. He started learning guitar when he was six. He then started teaching his brothers how to play. Christian, 23, said music is in their blood. “Our grandpa grew up playing in a folk band in Mexico and he taught our dad how to play guitar. Our dad taught Adrian how to play, and it was just passed down.” Adrian said aside from their dad, their biggest influence growing up was California-based Mexican-American band, Los Lobos. “We were all kind of entranced by their versatility and the fact that they were able to excel in so many different genres while still staying true to their Mexican-American heritage,” he said. “Growing up, we kind of identified very much with that band and we aspired to be like them. “I think we’re providing something fresh and we hope that it’s interesting to listeners.” See PERFORM | 8 Photos by Sarah Hawley | Sentinel American Legion Feeney Bennett Post 128 conducted the flag raising following the parade in Middleport on Sunday evening.

Members of the Wahama Lady Falcons Softball Team, who won the Class A State Championship, spent most of their time at a recent reception signing autographs on softballs and photos for their fans. The reception was held Tuesday evening and was hosted by the New Haven Public Library. A large crowd was in attendance to once again celebrate the young women and their coaches.

Littlepage told the teammates that members of the Claflin Foundation followed them on their journey to the state title. He said following the foundation’s assistance in revamping the Wahama baseball field, the boys won the state championship twice. Now, after the foundation’s help with the softball field, the girls won the state title. Littlepage challenged the team and said he was confident they, too, could win a second state championship. Fields congratulated the team and noted their accomplishments along the way, from winning the Little Kanawha Conference title to having a perfect season, and finally to being state champs. He noted individual awards some of the girls won, and pointed out that the Sportsmanship Award also went to the Falcons. “You’ve done it and no one can take it away from you,” Fields said. A large cake, decorated with each girl’s name and their coaches’ names, was served along with other refreshments by women of the St. Paul Lutheran Church. The celebration will continue Thursday, when the Town of Mason will host another reception for the girls at the StewartJohnson V.F.W./Lottie Jenks Memorial Park.

See ROLLS | 6 Olympics likely to open during COVID ‘state of emergency’ TOKYO (AP) — Surging COVID-19 cases in Tokyo have hit a two-month high that almost guarantees the Japanese government will declare a new state of emergency to start next week and continue for the duration of the Tokyo Olympics. The pandemic-delayed Olympics open in just over two weeks on July 23. IOC President Thomas Bach is scheduled to arrive in Tokyo on Thursday, when he will be greeted by the rising cases as he self-isolates for three days in the International Olympic Committee’s five-star hotel in the capital. A new state of emergency could lead to a ban even on local fans. That decision on fans is expected Friday when local organizers meet with the IOC and others. The present quasi-state of emergency ends Sunday. Tokyo reported 920 new cases on Wednesday, up from 714 last Wednesday. It is the highest total since 1,010 were reported on May 13. Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga met with key ministers to discuss virus measures and reportedly is considering reinstating a state of emergency in the capital until Aug. 22. The Olympics end on Aug. 8. Suga did not confirm the report but noted Tokyo’s upsurge and vowed “to do everything we can to prevent the further spread of the infections.” Suga said he would make a final decision Thursday after consulting with a panel of experts. Fans from abroad were banned from attending the Olympics months ago. But just two weeks ago, organizers and the IOC decided to allow venues to be filed to 50% of capacity but not to exceed 10,000. The soaring cases are likely to mean that venues will be without any fans, although sponsors and others may have access. The no-fan atmosphere could include the opening ceremony at the $1.4 billion National Stadium. “The infections are in their expansion phase and everyone in this country must firmly understand the seriousness of it,” Dr. Shigeru Omi, a top government medical adviser, told reporters. He urged authorities to quickly take tough measures ahead of the Olympics with summer vacations approaching. “The period from July to September is the most critical time for Japan’s COVID-19 measures,” Omi said. Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike told reporters that she expects the government to declare a state of emergency in Tokyo, a fourth for the capital since the pandemic began early last year. Separately, a government COVID-19 advisory panel met Wednesday and expressed concerns about the ongoing resurgence of the infections. “Two-thirds of the infections in the capital region are from Tokyo, and our concern is the spread of the infections to neighboring areas,” said Ryuji Wakita, director-general of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases.

Hurkacz never had made it beyond the third round at any Slam. In Friday’s semifinal on the other half of the draw, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic faces No. 10 Denis Shapovalov. After racing to a 5-0 lead at the outset Wednesday, Djokovic dropped three consecutive games to 48th-ranked Marton Fucsovics. Wasted five set points in the process, too. Soon enough, Djokovic righted himself, as he usually does, and beat Fucsovics 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to reach his 10th semifinal at the All England Club and 41st at a Slam. That allowed the 34-year-old from Serbia to continue his pursuit of a sixth championship at Wimbledon — and third in a row — along with a 20th major trophy. There’s this, too: Djokovic is 19-0 at majors this season as he pursues the first calendar-year Grand Slam by a man since Rod Laver in 1969. Djokovic won the Australian Open in February and the French Open in June. “I’m not chasing anybody,” Djokovic said. “I’m making my own path and my own journey, my own history.” Shapovalov edged No. 25 Karen Khachanov of Russia 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 6-1, 6-4, then looked ahead to facing Djokovic. “I do believe that I have the game to beat him,” said Shapovalov, a 22-year-old left-hander from Canada. Hurkacz appeared quite comfortable on this unfamiliar stage. He played sublimely, with three times as many winners, 36, as unforced errors, 12. “Obviously, I was a little bit nervous. I mean, playing against Roger in a Grand Slam quarterfinal, it’s a very big thing for me,” Hurkacz said. “But I was trying to stay as calm as I could.” Federer finally seemed See FEDERER | 6 �SPORTS 6 Thursday, July 8, 2021 Ohio Valley Publishing Silver says NBA may have weathered pandemic well financially PHOENIX (AP) — The NBA may emerge from the pandemic on better financial footing than it first anticipated, though Commissioner Adam Silver warned Tuesday that it’s too early to declare things fully back to normal. Silver, at his annual pre-NBA Finals news conference, said he believes the league weathered the pandemic and all that came with it — including much less revenue from the lack of fans in arenas for much of the last 15 months — relatively well, noting that even he was surprised to see many teams were able to have full buildings during the playoffs. “Financially, for the season, without getting into it too specifically, we did somewhat better than we initially projected,” Silver said. Silver had said that the lack of in-game revenue — ticket sales, concessions, food and drink and the like — may have meant the league would see a 40% dip in that cash stream. But, in part because some arenas had fans later in the regular season and then more than 1 million tickets being sold in playoff games, that dip could be closer to 33%. “No question, the league will incur significant losses over the past two years,” Silver said. “I will say though, I’m not here to complain about that. Just speaking for our team owners, they view it as a long-term investment in the league and something very necessary to keep these organizations going. And by the way, it was shared sacrifice by our players as well.” Players took “significant reductions” in salary this season, Silver said, something that was negotiated by the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association. That hit will be spread out over several seasons. The league — which estimated its loss in revenue from last season at $1.5 billion — plans on returning to normal this fall, with the season starting in mid-October and likely being of the common 82-game duration. The number of games is still in some question because the play-in tournament isn’t officially back for next season, though it has long been expected that the league’s board of governors will keep it going forward. “If things continue on track and we can move toward a new season next year that looks a lot more like normal, we’ll have weathered it very well,” Silver said. Silver touched on many other Federer ting, the stakes, the foe or the almost-uniformlyfor-Federer fans, Hurkacz claimed four of the next From page 5 fives game to pull even at to make some headway in 4-all, breaking along the the second set, ahead 3-0. way with a stinging forehand return of a 101 mph “Got to find a way to win it, somehow,” Feder- serve that drew a netted a backhand. er mused afterward.

But we are hopeful the team will be back if things continue as we’re seeing in Canada right now.” Diversity The NBA has seen four minority coaches hired in recent days, with Jason Kidd in Dallas, Chauncey Billups in Portland, Ime Udoka in Boston and Nate McMillan having the interim title removed in Atlanta. That means the league has 10 Black coaches right now out of 27; three jobs remain unfilled. “In terms of Black coaches, obviously we have seen positive developments there in terms of the number of vacancies that are being filled,” Silver said. “I will say that not unlike a lot of organizations that are dealing with diversity issues, this is something that requires daily attention. So again, positive movement in that direction, but we’re not going to rest on our laurels there.” Cejka seeks 3rd major at US Senior Open OMAHA, Neb.

Mike DeWine said Tuesday. That brings the number of counties eligible up to 24 through the H2Ohio water quality initiative’s farmer incentive program. Nearly 2,000 farmers applied to enroll more than 1.1 million acres during the program’s first year. Those who sign up are able to receive payouts for using farming practices that limit runoff from fields that feeds harmful algae in the lake’s western end. Phosphorus found in chemical fertilizers and manure spread on farm fields is the the biggest contributor to the algae. The new eligible counties are: Seneca, Huron, Erie, Wyandot, Richland, Shelby, Sandusky, Marion, Ottawa and Crawford.
