POMEROY — Sheriff Robert Beegle said evidence should be presented to the grand jury in two cases of copper theft at the Rocksprings Fairgrounds. Two have been charged in a separate copper theft investigation, Beegle said, and charges were pending Tuesday. No charges have been filed in the fairgrounds cases, according to Praise band, drama team performing POMEROY — The Soul Explosion Prayer Task Force will welcome the Sanctify Drama Team and the Soul Harvest Praise Band for an event from 7-8 p.m., Friday, June 10 on the Pomeroy parking lot. Cops for Christ will be providing food, drinks and free Bibles. BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM Beegle, but suspects have been identified and an investigation continues. Deputy Scott Trussell leads it. Beegle said the first investigation into theft at the county-owned fairgrounds stemmed from reports of copper wiring stolen from the electric connections at the campground area across from the county highway garage. Later in the spring, Beegle said, his depart- ment received a report of theft of copper plumbing and refrigeration equipment from a concessions building occupied at fair time by the Meigs County Council on Aging. A compressor and other plumbing fixtures made of copper were stolen from that building, and while Beegle said he had not determined an estimate of loss, he noted the equipment must be replaced completely. The fairgrounds is sur- rounded by a security fence, but Beegle said he believes the thief or thieves crawled under it. Beegle said no arrests have been made in relation to the fairgrounds incidents, but said he expects the county grand jury to return charges against the suspects. Copper is lucrative for thieves, bringing around $3 per pound, depending on its quality. Beegle said stolen copper mining cable was discovered near Gone fishing Smorgasbord dinner BY BETH SERGENT Lodge project HARRISONVILLE — Members of the Harrisonville Masonic Lodge will pick up litter along its Adopt-AHighway sections at 6 p.m. on Thursday.

POMEROY – A farmers’ market will again this year be held on the Pomeroy parking lot in conjunction with the Rhythm on the River summer series of the Big Bend Blues & Jazz Society. Dale Brickles who operates Bungtown Foods and was a participating vendor last year is soliciting participants. He now has about 15 who have expressed interest in bringing home-grown and homemade foods and creative crafts to the every Friday night markets which begin on June 24 and conclude on Aug. 12. The plan, according to Brickles, is to hold the market from 6 to 10 p.m. That will give those coming to town time to shop before the music in the amphitheater starts at 8 p.m., or after it’s over around 9 p.m., combining some shopping with the evening’s entertainment. While Brickles says he has made some contacts to solicit vendors to participate, he is interested in securing others. He can be contacted at 740-590-4891 or applications are available at bungtownsalsa@ yahoo.com. For the past couple of years, a farmers’ market has been held during the summer music series but participation has been limited. The plan this year is to expand, get more vendors in, and offer a wider variety of products. He encourages anyone interested in selling their products at the farmers’ market, to contact him. The free Rhythm on the River music series presented in the riverfront amphitheater will feature different artists over a seven-week period. The line-up is Geoff Achison & the Souldiggers on June 24; Albert, “The Kid” Castiglia on July 1; Randy McAllister on July 8; The Gas house Gorillas, on July 15; The Scott Holt Band on July 24; Eden Brent on Aug. 5 and Biscuit & The Mix on Aug. 12. The Big Bend Blues Bash has been scheduled for July 28, 29, and 30. The Thursday event, a “Roots Fest” has no admission charge. However, there is a $10 charge for Friday when the Blues competition will be held, and for Saturday when the Bash with an outstanding lineup of entertainers, is featured. COLUMBUS — The Ohio Department of Natural Resources will not be conducting an extensive investigation into a mining accident in Racine where a miner lost portions of three fingers. According to Heidi Hetzel-Evans, spokesperson with ODNR’s Division of Mineral Resources Management, the agency regarded the incident as “unfortunate but not related to any reportable violation” at the Yellowbush Mine owned by Gatling, Ohio LLC. Hetzel-Evans also said the miner, identified as James Hart, 33, did not lose his little finger as reported during the preliminary investigation. However, Hetzel-Evans said Hart did lose portions of his three fingers. The accident happened on Memorial Day and according to a preliminary reported filed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration: “He (Hart) was operating a scoop tractor, and attempting to re-rail a rail car in the work area. He had the bucket/blade of the scoop down-pressured into the mine floor, which lifts the bucket-end wheels off of the ground. This lets the steering jacks slew the center frame and wheels of the machine sideways, one way or the other to reposition the wheels. The main frame of the car also moves, including the operator's cab and canopy. With the wheels in the air, the operator activated the steering to slew the car sideways, and had allegedly positioned his left hand on the outside edge of the operator's canopy. When the car frame went toward the rib as the steering was activated, the miner's hand was caught between the canopy and the rib.” Hart’s injuries were not described as life threatening. A message left with MSHA regarding the status of its investigation into the incident was not returned by press time.

Anthony Weiner resign after admitting he sent suggestive photos of himself in his underwear via Twitter and then lied about it to everyone within earshot. But they've made it clear they'd appreciate it if he'd go away. And soon. In statements within an hour of Weiner's stunning admission on Monday, not a single Democrat volunteered support for the man long mentioned as a possible future mayor of New York. And notably, none chose to comment on his defiant vow: "I am not resigning." Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the party leader, said she was "disappointed and saddened." She and other Democrats called for an ethics committee investigation to determine whether Weiner had broken any House rules. Other Democrats said they agreed. Purely in political terms, violating House rules would be the least of the woes Weiner has inflicted on his party, currently trying to make the case that Republican policies fall harshly on female voters. By his own admission, he behaved badly toward women, describing a series of sexually-infused exchanges via Twitter over the past three years. "I have engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over Twitter, Facebook, email and occasionally on the phone with women I had met online," he said at his news conference in New York. "I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years," he added, although he quickly added he had not met any of the women or "had physical relationships at any time." He apologized repeatedly and profusely to his wife, who was not in attendance. Men behaving badly toward women hardly counts as news in the Capitol. Sen. John Ensign, RNev., resigned a few weeks ago to avoid having to testify under oath before the Senate ethics committee about a tangled affair. Among other findings, the panel reported he had once asked his mistress to marry him in a proposal made while the two were attending a National Prayer Breakfast. But on health care and many other issues, Democrats are busy trying to build a case that women should turn Republicans out of office at the next election. Fitting Weiner's suggestive photos of himself, and his sexuallycharged banter, into that theme is something they presumably would like to avoid. The immediate precedent for Weiner's behavior in the House concerns former Rep. Chris Lee, a Republican who resigned in February after shirtless photos he sent to a woman he had met on Craigslist were published online. Lee was gone virtually before his transgression became known publicly, shown the door by the Republican leadership. Republicans have been careful to avoid injecting themselves into Weiner's predicament, preferring to let Democrats stew in it themselves. Eventually, the question of a double standard is all but certain to be suggested by GOP officials, if not by others. Weiner's response to a question along those lines showed how difficult an answer might be. "Well, I don't want to get into anyone else's situation, but I can tell you about mine. And it's one that I — that I regret, that didn't have to do with my government service per se, and had to do with a personal weakness."

Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., addresses a news conference in New York, Monday, June 6, 2011. After days of denials, a choked-up New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner confessed Monday that he tweeted a bulging-underpants photo of himself to a young woman and admitted to "inappropriate" exchanges with six women before and after getting married. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) Nor are fellow Democrats in Congress likely to take it well that Weiner lied to them, as well as to his wife and the public. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., defended Weiner a week ago, based on the congressman's assurances that he had not been involved in the photo sent via Twitter. A few hours after Weiner's news conference, Schumer said in a statement that Weiner "remains a talented and committed public servant, and I pray he and his family can get through these difficult times." Schumer did not say whether Weiner should remain in Congress. But his spokesman, Brian Fallon, said the senator thinks "that should be up to his constituents to decide." However much lying may be invoked as a betrayal of trust, it also raises questions about what other damaging information may not yet be known. Weiner was asked about Andrew Breitbart, a conservative who had materialized before the news conference and implied he had an X-rated photo of the congressman. "Can you say that is not true?" Weiner was asked. "No, I cannot," he said. Somewhere, Richard Nixon is smiling. In 1973, he vetoed the War Powers Act, insisting that it was unconstitutional. Congress overrode him, but almost every one of Nixon's successors has agreed with his assessment of the resolution. It took President Barack Obama, though, to rip the War Powers Act into little pieces and sprinkle it over his Libyan intervention like a premature victory parade. The thrust of the War Powers Act is clear enough: 60 days after reporting the start of a military intervention, the president must secure congressional authorization or a declaration of war, or remove our forces. Presidents have typically acted "consistent with," but not "pursuant to," the law's provisions -- basically, humoring Congress while never conceding the law's constitutional legitimacy. President Obama is dispensing with all pretense. He's simply ignoring the law. This is the kind of highhandedness that Dick Cheney was always accused of, although the Bush administration was oldfashioned enough to get prior congressional approval of its wars. Obama launched the Libya War on his sayso, and doesn't even want to bother to explain to Congress why the War Powers Act doesn't apply to a conflict begun some 80 days ago. On Libya, the Obama administration is making a gigantic rude gesture to Congress and all the liberal professors and national-security experts who have made such a fetish of the War Powers Act through the years. Before tangling with Moammar Gadhafi, Rich Lowry Obama counted himself among their number. As a senator, he maintained, "The president does not have the power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." President Obama joins a long list of presidents going back to Thomas Jefferson whose views of the limits of executive power didn't survive their first contact with the presidency. President Obama isn't doing his reputation for consistency or the legal theories of his supporters any favors, but he is paying a backhanded compliment to the Constitution. The War Powers Act is an excrescence on the American constitutional order that deserves to be the dead letter that President Obama is making it. The president's inherent powers as commander in chief do not depend on affirmative acts of Congress. What Congress can do is wield its own powers -- most decisively, the appropriation of funds - to limit or end a military action. Of course, Congress usually refuses to do that, since it involves an action for which it could be held politically accountable. Predictably, the grand confrontation between the legislative and executive branches over Libya has been an instance of the cowardly fighting the disingenuous. The Obama administration implausibly pretends that the president's posture hasn't changed on the War Powers Act. A spokesman argues that its briefings of members of Congress constitute compliance. But the resolution doesn't call for collegial chats after 60 days. The administration's other possible defenses -- that Libya isn't really a war, that it's a piddling war, that we are "leading from behind" -- don't help, either. The act doesn't make exceptions for small, euphemistic wars waged under NATO auspices by reluctant presidents. If this were the Bush administration, Nancy Pelosi would be agitating for impeachment. Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman has written in despair that "Obama is breaking new ground, moving decisively beyond his predecessors." At this rate, he notes, "history will say that the War Powers Act was condemned to a quiet death by a president who had solemnly pledged, on the campaign trail, to put an end to indiscriminate warmaking." History comes full circle. In the aftermath of Vietnam and the midst of Watergate, liberal Democrats passed the War Powers Act as part of a broad assault on presidential powers. The act reached the end of the line with a liberal Democrat in the White House, who wanted to avail himself of the full sweep of his powers. No doubt, Nixon wouldn't just relish the result, but appreciate the irony.

Matthew Whitlock Forest Service appoints Interim forest supervisor NELSONVILLE – The USDA Forest Service’s Eastern Region announces the appointment of Peter Williams as the interim Forest Supervisor for the Wayne National Forest located in southeastern Ohio. Williams, who lives in Fort Collins, Colo., started his new assignment on Monday, June 6, 2011. He comes to the Wayne National Forest as a Collaborative Planning and Multiparty Monitoring Specialist assigned to the Forest Service headquarters in Washington, DC. Williams works with many inside and outside the Forest Service to take collaborative approaches to public land management, planning, monitoring, and social learning, all with the aim of making differences on the ground by doing more together than any of us can do alone. While in the Forest Service, Williams has also worked as a Research Social Scientist, Program Manager and as an acting Natural Resource Staff Officer. He received his PhD in Public Land Policy and Planning from Utah State University. While attend- ing Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University he obtained his Master’s degree in Wildland Recreation and Park Planning. He attended Kenyon College in Knox County where he received a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and Comparative Religion. Williams will hold the Forest Service leadership position until a national search has been completed and a full-time employee has been hired by the regional office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jo Reyer, who held the position as Forest Peter Williams Supervisor for three years, relocated to the Hiawatha National Forest in Michigan, where she is the new Forest Supervisor. GOP chairman demands that Weiner resign BY ANDREW MIGA ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican Party chairman said Tuesday that Rep. Anthony Weiner should resign after admitting to sexually charged online relationships with several women and lying about his misdeeds. The New York congressman seemed increasingly isolated from even his fellow Democrats Tuesday, as House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi formally requested a House ethics probe and the Senate's top Democrat declined to publicly defend him. Reince Priebus said in a statement that either Pelosi and Democratic chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz believe that members of Congress are held to a different standard, or they believe the congressman's actions demand his departure from the House. The Democratic National Committee did not have an immediate comment. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid delivered a rebuff to Weiner, a clear sign of the frustrations fellow Democrats have with a scandal they want to see over as soon as possible. "I know Congressman Weiner," Reid told reporters. "I wish there was some way I could defend him, but I can't." Asked what he would say if Weiner called him for advice, Reid said "call somebody else." The National Republican Congressional Committee also seized on the Weiner scandal as a 2012 campaign issue, issuing press releases calling on more than a dozen House Democrats to return campaign contributions from Weiner. One of them, Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Ohio, said she was donating a $1,000 campaign contribution last year from Weiner to a local charity. Republicans sought to turn Pelosi's celebrated campaign pledge in 2006 to "drain the swamp" of corruption and ethical abuses in Washington against the Democrats. "After dragging her feet while her colleagues abused their office, it is past time that Leader Pelosi take a small step to start draining the swamp her party waded in while she was Speaker," said Paul Lindsay, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee in a statement. GOP ethics woes helped Democrats take control of Congress in 2006. Weiner vowed on Monday he would not resign his seat, and apologized repeatedly at a news conference for his actions. Pelosi and other members of the Democratic leadership voiced their disappointment in Weiner and pointedly urged the House ethics committee to launch an investigation to determine if the outspoken New York Democrat broke House rules. Their calls came shortly after the married Weiner's profuse public apology for "inappropriate" online exchanges with six women. The second-ranking House Democrat, Maryland's Steny Hoyer, called for Weiner to make full disclosure. The chilly reception from his House colleagues contrasted sharply with the fate that befell fellow New York Rep. Christopher Lee, who sent a shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met on Craigslist. Within a matter of hours of the photo being disclosed, the Republican met with House Speaker John Boehner and resigned. House Republicans have stated there would be zero tolerance for misbehavior by members in their ranks. And even if Weiner did nothing illegal, House ethics rules state that members must comport themselves in a manner befitting their office, enough to trigger an investigation into Weiner's online social life. New York's senior senator, Chuck Schumer, said in a statement that he was "deeply pained and saddened by today's news. By fully explaining himself, apologizing to all he hurt and taking full responsibility for his wrongful actions, Anthony did the right thing. He remains a talented and committed public servant, and I pray he and his family can get through these difficult times." Weiner on Monday admitted sending a lewd photo of his underwearclad crotch to a young woman over Twitter and then lying repeatedly to protect himself. The extraordinary confession at a packed Manhattan news conference was a remarkable turn of events for the brash Weiner, who conceded to a "hugely regrettable" lapse in judgment. Weiner insisted he had done nothing wrong and said he would fully cooper- ate with a House inquiry. Weiner said he used his home computer and personal Blackberry, not government computers, in his exchanges with the women. But that may not protect him from House rules that say a member "shall conduct himself at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House." On numerous occasions, the House ethics committee has cited that general rule in finding that a lawmaker violated standards of conduct. Weiner also acknowledged that he had engaged in inappropriate contact with six women over the course of three years through social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook and occasionally over the phone. He said he had never met or had a physical relationship with any of the women and was not even sure of their ages. He also said he had never had sex outside of his marriage. Weiner said over and over that he had made "ter- rible mistakes" and done "a very dumb thing" for which he alone bore responsibility, and he apologized repeatedly to his wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "My wife is a remarkable woman. She's not responsible for any of this," he said. "I apologize to her very deeply." Abedin did not attend his news conference, but Weiner said they would not be separating over the scandal. The scandal began more than a week ago when a conservative website reported that a photo of a man's crotch had been sent from Weiner's Twitter account to a college student in Seattle. For days, Weiner claimed that he hadn't sent the photo and that he was the victim of a hacker. But he caused guffaws when he said that he couldn't say with "certitude" that the underwear shot was not a picture of him. The scandal escalated Monday when the website, BigGovernment.com, run by conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, posted photos purportedly from a second woman who said she received shirtless shots of the congressman. The site said the pictures were in a cache of intimate online photographs, chats and email exchanges the woman claimed to have. The website did not identify the woman. Appearing on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday, Breitbart threatened to make public what he described as an X-rated picture, which he called "an insurance policy" against any attacks from Weiner. Also on Tuesday, the celebrity website RadarOnline.com said a woman claimed to have 200 sexually explicit messages from Weiner through a Facebook account that Weiner no longer uses. It was not clear whether the woman who claimed to have the new photo was the person who claimed to have received the text messages. Kaathleen Bertuna, DO O, with patients Courtneey Coollins and son Keyon o Judge ends marriage of parents of 3 missing boys ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — A judge granted a divorce Tuesday to the parents of three missing boys from southeastern Michigan's Lenawee County, a day before the father returns to court to face kidnapping charges. It was an unusual scene in court. John Skelton represented himself during the brief hearing and was allowed to pose questions to Tanya Skelton. He repeated his claim that he gave his sons to an "organization," which hasn't been identified, but police don't believe him. If Tanya Skelton receives full custody of the children, "they won't be available to either of us," John Skelton said. Circuit Judge Margaret Noe granted the divorce after a trial that lasted less than an hour. The boys — Andrew, Alexander and Tanner — haven't been seen since they were with their father on Thanksgiving at his home in Morenci, near the Ohio border. John Skelton is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment charges. Our Commit o itmentt is i to be Yo our Choice ou fo or Obstetricc Ca are.
