For nearly 10 months, investigators from the Division of State Fire Marshal have continued their probe of the tragic fire of Barn 16 at the Warren County Fairgrounds/Lebanon Raceway facility where more than 40 horses and two men died on Dec. 5.
Shane Cartmill, spokesman for the State Fire Marshal, said it is still an active investigation and that investigators are looking into additional records and information.
In an e-mail response, Cartmill said, “it is difficult to assign a timeframe to an investigation because each one is unique and, in cases such as this, can be very complex. This is still very much an active investigation.”
“As for a cause, I will not speculate because the investigation is still open and ongoing,” Cartmill said.
The first started in the early morning hours on Dec. 5 and quickly spread throughout the barn, destroying the structure and killing the two men and horses. The bodies of Ronnie Williams and James “Turtle” Edwards were later identified through DNA tests in April.
The Warren County Commission and the county Fair Board used portions of the insurance settlement to build a smaller barn where Barn 16 had stood. The new barn, which is for 4-H exhibitions opened just in time for the Warren County Fair in July.6.

In the Monday, Aug. 16 edition of the Dayton Daily News, there was an article about “trackers” sent by political parties to capture the comments of Ohio’s gubernatorial candidates and publish them electronically via Twitter, You-Tube, text messaging, etc.
Apparently other candidates are doing similar things.
At the recent campaign stop by GOP U.S. Senate candidate Rob Portman at the Lebanon Raceway, a campaign aide was also audio recording Portman’s comments to a very supportive crowd in Warren County.
After his public comments, when a reporter was talking to Portman, an aide was also recording that conversation and comments.
Jessica Towhey, Portman’s campaign press secretary and the former spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. John Boehner, said that’s standard operating procedure for the campaign. She said all Portman events and interviews are recorded and are used for internal purposes.
It also gives a whole new meaning of having the ear of a politician.
