He was fighting with the famed 5307thComposite Unit Provisional — The Merrill’s Marauders. His Army Infantry Unit was conferred the Congressional Gold Medal by both Houses of Congress this past fall. He was temporarily buried in U.S. Military Cemeteries in Burma and India.

White was accounted for by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (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. White was remembered with funeral services in early June 2021, bringing his remains home to Meigs County for burial in the White Family Cemetery. Now, his military memorabilia will be permanently displayed at the Chester Courthouse Museum.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio doesn’t plan to mandate masks in schools this fall, but health officials strongly recommend students and staff wear face coverings if they aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19, the state Department of Health’s chief medical officer said Monday. That and other recommended steps are essential to protecting children and ensuring a successful school year as students return to classrooms, Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said. Some of Ohio’s largest districts, including Columbus and Cleveland, already decided to require masks for everyone when the school year begins. Others are still navigating the complicated decision-making and polarization around mask rules as the delta variant spreads and cases rise. The health department is strongly urging school employees and eligible students age 12 and older to get vaccinated. That is the best protection, Vanderhoff said. Health officials also are recommending schools continue additional measures that have proven helpful, such as keeping extra distance between people indoors, improving ventilation, sanitizing and encouraging good hand-washing.

Bates, 23, had 109 tackles, 15 passes defended and three interceptions in 2021. Streak ends: Titmus terminates Ledecky’s golden run in Tokyo By Paul Newberry AP Sports Writer TOKYO — Katie Ledecky strolled onto the deck first, which meant she was headed to the second spot on the medal podium. What a strange place for her to be. For the first time in a brilliant career, Ledecky wasn’t the first swimmer to touch the wall in an individual event at the Olympics. She had nothing to be ashamed of. She swam one of the best races of her career on the biggest stage. She was simply beaten in the 400-meter freestyle by someone who was a bit better on this day. Still, it was a bit jarring. “Of course, you always want to hear your national anthem,” Ledecky said Monday. “But I’m just really proud of the time I swam.” It wasn’t quite good enough to beat Australia’s Ariarne Titmus, who chased down Ledecky over the final two laps to win in 3 minutes, 56.69 seconds. It was the second-fastest time ever recorded, surpassed only by Ledecky’s world record of 3:56.46 at the 2016 Rio Games. Ledecky touched in 3:57.36, her fastest time in three years and fourth-fastest in the history of the eight-lap event. “I felt so good coming into this meet,” the 24-year-old said. “I felt like I really believed in myself going into that. It is very satisfying to swim a time like that and start my meet off like that.” Of course, most people will focus on where she finished. Ledecky has been second before — in relays and at big-time meets such as the world championships. But this was a first at the Olympics. Ledecky won her only individual event at the 2012 London Games, stunningly taking gold in the 800 free as a relatively unknown 15-year-old. She was a big star by Rio, where she backed up the hype by sweeping the 200, 400 and 800 free. That streak ended at the Tokyo Aquatics Centre, but Ledecky was more focused on the time beside her name, not the number in front of it. She said her performance was actually “confidence boosting.” “It may seem silly to some people,” Ledecky said, “but our sport is so time-based.” While Titmus held back a bit, Ledecky built up a lead of nearly a body length over the first half of the race. Then the Aussie known as the “Terminator” kicked her stroke into another gear. Furiously slicing through the water, she pulled ahead for the first time as they made the final flip for home. From there, it was a sprint to the wall, the world’s greatest female freestylers racing side-byside, summoning everything they had inside of them, their arms and legs burning but their competitive fires roaring. Ledecky posted her quickest lap of the race (29.12 seconds). Titmus went even faster, closing with a 28.67.

Associated Press publicly. Joining another conference with the grant of rights still in effect is a nonstarter. Texas and Oklahoma would bring no value to their new conference and it would cost the schools tens of millions of dollars per year. The Big 12 announced Sunday that its executive committee, including Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, held a video conference with the presidents of Texas and Oklahoma. The remaining eight Big 12 schools — Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech and West Virginia —- are still hoping to persuade the conference’s flagships schools to stay put. “The meeting was cor- dial, and the executive committee expressed a willingness to discuss proposals that would strengthen the conference and be mutually beneficial to OU and UT, as well as the other member institutions of the conference,” Bowlsby said in a statement. “I expect that we will continue our conversations in the days ahead and we look forward to discussing thoughts, ideas and concepts that may be of shared interest and impact.” Without Texas and Oklahoma, the Big 12 is in danger of falling apart. Even if it were to stay together by adding other schools, the value of the league would likely be severely diminished when it goes looking for its next television contract. Tokyo Olympics: Success? Failure? And how to judge? By Stephen Wade AP Sports Writer TOKYO — Will it be a success? A failure? Or none of the above? It will take something much more nuanced than those basic notions to assess the pandemicdelayed Tokyo Olympics when they wrap up in two weeks. The response will be twisted by dozens of parties with their own interests. There’s the International Olympic Committee. The 11,000 athletes. The Japanese organizing committee. The Japanese public. The absent fans. And how about the sponsors? Or the Japanese government and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. There is the Tokyo Frank Gunn | The Canadian Press via AP file Spectators line the course of the men’s cycling road race July 24, at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. How are we to judge the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Olympics when they wrap up in two weeks? It’s a straightforward question but it’s difficult to answer. That’s because there are many interests involved. Metropolitan Government and Governor Yuriko Koike, who has higher political aspirations. The Tokyo medical community. And television rights holders like American television network NBC. Just getting through it will be cast as a success by many. This may be the spin no matter what happens, particularly for the IOC, its broadcast partners and Japanese media. A half dozen newspapers in Japan are domestic sponsors and have a vested interest in portraying the Games positively. The more the focus is on the sports — and off politics, costs, corruption and COVID-19 — the better it is for the Switzerland-based IOC. Pushing on with the Olympics after the postponement — and during the pandemic — has hurt the IOC’s reputation in Japan. Kaori Yamaguchi, a former bronze medalist and a member of the Japanese Olympic Committee, said a few months ago that she was shocked to find the IOC operated See OLYMPICS | 6 �COMICS Ohio Valley Publishing Tuesday, July 27, 2021 5 Having A Yard Sale?

Suga’s approval ratings keep dropping, tied to Japan’s slow rollout of vaccines and to his unpopular decision to barrel ahead with the Olympics despite opinion polls showing many Japanese opposed. Suga’s advantage is the ruling party’s weak opposition. The LDP has ruled Japan almost continuously since the end of World War II. “This is a very politically sensitive time, and Suga wants to use the Olympics as a stepping stone for his success in the election,” Suzuki said. “Japan’s success in the Olympics and winning gold medals, and the Japanese people cheering and rooting for the Japanese athletes. Those kind of things are working positively for Suga.” Suzuki said Suga also has an eye on not wanting to fail with these Olympics given that Japan’s rival and neighbor, China, puts on its own show starting Feb. 4 with the Beijing Winter Games. “They are afraid that China will be celebrated as the champion and global leader in this pandemic,” Suzuki said.

Adding to the mix, Donald Trump issued a statement Monday disparaging Senate Republicans for even dealing with the Democrats on infrastructure, though it’s unclear what influence he has. The former president had failed at an infrastructure deal when he was in office. “It’s time for everyone to get to ‘yes,’” Schumer said as he opened the Senate. Schumer said Trump is “rooting for our entire political system to fail” while Democrats are “rooting for a deal.” The bipartisan package includes about $600 billion in new spending on public works projects, the first phase of Biden’s big infrastructure proposals.

After reportedly leading law enforcement in multiple counties on a pursuit on July 21, Davis was taken into custody in Gallia County in the early morning hours of July 24, according to a joint news release from the Meigs and Gallia County Sheriff’s Offices. In court on Monday, Stanley explained that in accordance with the plea agreement, had Davis appeared back to court as scheduled and followed the restrictions of his release, eight counts in case 20CR014 would have been dismissed, and the sentence in case 20CR151 held in abeyance. As Davis reportedly failed to follow the orders of the court, Judge Warner sentenced him to serve the maximum sentences on case 20CR076, 12 months for receiving stolen property; on case 20CR151, 36 months for failure to comply with the signal of a police officer; and on case 20CR152, 36 months for failure to comply with the signal of a police officer. Warner ordered the three prison sentences to run consecutive for a total of seven years in prison. On case 20CR014, the guilty plea on count eight of the indictment to a charge of theft remains, according to Prosecutor Stanley, with Davis to stand trial at a later date on counts 1-7 and 9.
