The trains stopped traveling along Main Street in Pomeroy in the mid-20th Century. According to local historian Jordan Pickens, the last scheduled Chesapeake & Ohio passenger train made the run from Columbus to Pomeroy on Dec. 31, 1949, and the final passenger boarded the train at the Rutland depot on June 2, 1951, bringing an end to passenger train service in Meigs County. During the same time, diesel locomotives began to replace steam locomotives at Hobson Yards on the New York Central Railroad (formerly Kanawha & Michigan,) and employee layoffs soon began.

Go to mydailysentinel. com and visit us on facebook to share your thoughts. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Drivers would pay 10.5 cents a gallon more for gas and 19 cents a gallon more for diesel fuel under a long-awaited compromise struck by state lawmakers Tuesday. The compromise ended days of negotiations among legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who had wanted the rate to be much higher. After approval by a bipartisan conference committee, it moved quickly through the full House and Senate. The increases, contained in the state transportation budget, would mean more than $850 million more per year for road and bridge projects. The ﬁnal deal also sends 45% of the revenue from the tax increase to local governments, up from the 40% they get on the current gas tax. Ohioans will pay a state tax rate of 38.5 cents per gallon on gas and 47 cents a gallon on diesel fuel after the increases are applied. Both new tax rates would start July 1 under the plan, which still requires DeWine’s signature. DeWine initially sought an increase of 18 cents a gallon for gas and diesel fuel and urged lawmakers not to reduce it. He called his proposal a “minimalist approach” that was necessary to ﬁx the most serious problems as soon as possible. “This was a job that no one relished,” DeWine said Tuesday at a press conference with legislative leaders. “This was something that, frankly, had to be done if this state is going to move forward.” The House then passed an increase of 10.7 cents for gas and See TAXES | 5 �OBITUARIES/NEWS 2 Thursday, April 4, 2019 OBITUARIES TOMMY DOUGLAS BOSO BILL AND CATHY CARLETON RACINE — Cathy Lynn Carleton, 66, of Racine, passed away peacefully at 5:15 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019, in the Holzer Medical Center Gallipolis and her husband William “Bill” Carleton, 76, of Racine, passed away peacefully, on Wednesday, March 20, 2019, in the Holzer Medical Center Gallipolis.

Rather than write about all the work George did for her, as he always does while we are there, I would like to write about our trip coming back home. We had to get up by 5 a.m. to leave for the Orlando airport to catch our plane home to Ohio. We were already packed and had a quick Kay breakfast and left to catch our plane. Conklin Cathy drove us to the airport before Contributing it had began to get light outside. columnist Anyone who has traveled anywhere near the airport, or Disney World, knows how bad the trafﬁc is. With the growth of population being nonstop, it’s never an easy place to drive. Our ﬁrst experience while driving at the speed limit on that busy highway was to have the car in front of us come to a dead stop! No slowing down, no warning, it just came to a dead stop. And, thank goodness, Cathy was able to come to a dead stop as well, and the car behind us was able to do it also. With her headlights shining on the black car ahead of us, we watched as a man opened the driver’s side door and got inside the car and took off. Since there were two cars ahead of us, involved in the stopping, we assume that he had gotten out of the car ahead and traded drivers. How they ever had the nerve to stop on that spot and risk a huge pileup, I’ll never know! But with that over, we proceeded on to, hopefully, a noneventful plane ride home. However, when we got inside the airport and found the right line to get through security, we had to show them our driver’s licenses and boarding passes. We each had both in hand. However, George & I were reminded of a previous time, three years ago, when he lost his driver’s license at that same Orlando International Airport, and we had a big problem getting on the plane with no identiﬁcation. (If you remember, the TSA agent called Washington and George had to answer a lot of questions that only he would know, to prove who he was, and we were allowed to board.) So, with that memory in mind, we stepped up to the inspector and George handed him his piece of paper that was his temporary license until his regular one would be mailed to him. And the inspector said, “We don’t accept paper!” When we tried to explain that in Ohio, you only get a paper one until the real one comes in the mail, and it didn’t come until after we had left Ohio. He sent us to another line, same thing happened there, too. In fact the very same words, “We don’t accept paper!” And then were told to go over and see another person who was not behind a desk and had no uniform on. He looked at the paper and asked to see George’s old driver’s license, and then said, “Oh, yes, we deal with this all the time. You are ﬁne. Follow me.” He took us to the handicapped line that had many people in wheelchairs, and we went right through just ﬁne. In fact, faster than the regular line. You would think that my story about boarding would end there. But, not quite. As we sat down to wait until takeoff, we talked to another senior citizen couple across from us and compared experiences of having trouble with driver’s licenses. And, just as it was time for all four of us to board, the lady said to me, “It looks like there is a driver’s license under your chair.” So I looked, but only saw a candy wrapper under it. She said, “No it’s clear back there.” So, I got down on my hands and knees and got under the chair to pick up a white card. I was thinking that if this is a driver’s license, how happy the owner is going to be when they get it back. As I am getting out from under the chair to stand up, I looked at it, and it was mine! My driver’s license must have fallen out of my jacket pocket and fell down between the seat and the back of my chair to have ended up there. Now, that has to be all that happened. You think? I’ll just say that our two-hour, nonstop trip turned into a four-hour period of time. We were boarded and the engine was running, but we had to sit on the tarmac for an extra two hours, waiting and wondering what was going on. With all the news of airplane problems, it wasn’t a fun experience at all. After the ﬁrst hour-and-a-half had passed and we thought we would get to take off, the captain said that now we had to get more fuel to be able to make it to Columbus. We never did know exactly what the hold up was. And later, he told us that there were eight to 10 airplanes in front of us and three behind us, so we had to wait our turn to take off. It had then been nine hours since having breakfast, and you know those pretzels and that little cup of coffee they give you just aren’t enough. During all this See PLANE | 5 THEIR VIEW We remember Flight 93 “Did you save any doughnuts for me?” the large gentleman wearing a green hat emblazoned with “Army Veteran Korean War” on the front, asked with a laugh. Brenda and I were sitting in the Fishersville, Virginia Hampton Inn a couple of weeks ago when the man rolled his wheelchair-bound wife into the breakfast area of the hotel a few tables away from ours. The man had a ruddy complexion, like someone who had spent a great deal of time in the sun and wind, and had a hearty laugh, one that made people look over at him when he began to chortle in a low rumble that ended in a loud crescendo. His wife was disabled, but had a cheery, agreeable personality, and frequently exchanged loving glances with her husband who often rubbed her thin, pale hands. It was obvious the man was gregarious and outgoing. He liked people. “That snowstorm was something, wasn’t it?” he asked us. He was referring to the “freak” snowstorm that had unexpectedly descended upon the Shenandoah Valley, leaving 8.5 inches of snow on the mountainsides.

The air trafﬁc controllers in Pittsburgh said they had lost contact with the plane when it entered their airspace. The man said although he had been in the war, he had never heard anything as loud as the exploding plane when it returned to earth. “It sounded like a million tons of dynamite,” he said. “A giant wave of ﬁre shot towards the heavens, and a big cloud of smoke soon followed.” The man went on to tell us how we all learned the facts of the crash later. “We heard everything imaginable,” he said. “Someone at our local McDonald’s breakfast table even said the military had shot the plane down.” He went on to say, he has dreamed many times since he has seen the hand of God reach into that ﬁeld and gently raise the souls of the Americans to the Heavens. “That’s the way I’d like to believe it happened, anyway,” he said, as tears slowly formed in his eyes. “I may have been the last man on earth to see those 44 people on the plane alive, don’t you know,” he said, quietly. “How could a man not remember something like that?” Pat Haley is former Clinton County (Ohio) Commissioner and former Clinton County Sheriff. TODAY IN HISTORY The Associated Press Today is Thursday, April 4, the 94th day of 2019. There are 271 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History On April 4, 1968, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., 39, was shot and killed while standing on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee; his slaying was followed by a wave of rioting (Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Chicago were among cities particularly hard hit.) Suspected gunman James Earl Ray later pleaded guilty to assassinating King, then spent the rest of his life claiming he’d been the victim of a setup. On this date In 1841, President William Henry Harrison succumbed to pneumonia one month after his inaugural, becoming the ﬁrst U.S. chief executive to die in ofﬁce. In 1850, the city of Los Angeles was incorporated. In 1917, the U.S. Senate voted 82-6 in favor of declaring war against Germany (the House followed suit two days later by a vote of 373-50). In 1933, the Navy airship USS Akron crashed in severe weather off the New Jersey coast with the loss of 73 lives. In 1945, during World War II, U.S. forces liberated the Nazi concentration camp Ohrdruf in Germany. Hungary was liberated as Soviet forces cleared out remaining German troops. In 1949, 12 nations, including the United States, signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington, D.C. In 1975, more than 130 people, most of them children, were killed when a U.S. Air Force transport plane evacuating Vietnamese orphans crash-landed shortly after takeoff from Saigon.

TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — An offensive eruption. Wahama plated 19 runs over the ﬁnal four innings of play, allowing the guests to rally back from an early 3-1 deﬁcit while rolling to a 20-10 victory over the Eastern softball team in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup at Don Jackson Field in Meigs County. The Lady Falcons (11-1, 6-0 TVC Hocking) were in a 2-0 hole after an inning of play as Kelsey Roberts and Tessa Rockhold provided consecutive RBI singles for the host Lady Eagles (3-3, 3-1). Tanner King homered to lead off the second as the Red and White cut the deﬁcit in half, but EHS countered with a RBI single from Rockhold for a 3-1 advantage through three complete. WHS, however, opened the ﬂood gates in the fourth as Maddy VanMatre led things off with a solo homer, which sparked a seven-run burst that ultimately provided a permanent lead. Deborah Miller singled home Emily VanMatre with the eventual game-winner as the guests managed to build an 8-3 cushion. The Green and White answered with two runs in the home half of the fourth and also scored two in the ﬁfth, but the Lady Falcons got a threerun homer from Hannah Rose in the ﬁfth that extended the score out to 11-7 after ﬁve full frames. WHS sent 13 batters to the plate in the top of the sixth, which resulted in eight runs on six hits, ﬁve walks and a ﬁelder’s choice. When the dust cleared, the guests were left with a sizable 19-7 lead. Mollie Maxon belted a threerun homer in the home half of the sixth, allowing Eastern to close back to within 19-10. Victoria VanMatre doubled home Hannah Billups in the seventh to complete the 10-run outcome. See EAGLES | 7 Waterford stymies Lady Tornadoes, 21-1 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com RACINE, Ohio — Sometimes it’s just not your night. The Southern softball team took one on the chin at Star Mill Park on Tuesday, as Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division guest Waterford picked up a 21-1 victory over the Lady Tornadoes. The Lady Wildcats plated nine runs in the opening inning, and added eight more in the second. After a run apiece in the third and fourth innings, Waterford pushed two runs across in the top of the ﬁfth for its ﬁnal total of 21. Southern (3-4, 1-4 TVC Hocking) — which had won three straight headed into play — ended the shut out with two outs in the bottom of the ﬁfth, when Jordan Hardwick doubled home Lily Allen. Abby Cummins took the pitching loss in four innings of work, striking out one batter, while giving up 13 runs, two earned, on 17 hits and two walks. Cierra Whitesell pitched one inning for SHS, allowing eight runs, ﬁve earned, on eight hits and a walk. Baldwin was the winning pitcher of record in a complete game for the Lady Wildcats, striking out six batters, while allowing one earned run on three hits and a pair of walks. Hardwick paced the Lady Tornadoes at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double and a run batted in. Kayla Boyer singled once for the Purple and Gold, while Allen added a run. Leading the WHS offense, Taylor was 5-for-6 with three runs and ﬁve RBIs, and Offenberger See WATERFORD | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Thursday, April 4 Baseball Belpre at Wahama, 5 p.m. Trimble at South Gallia, 5 p.m. Southern at Miller, 5 p.m. Eastern at Federal Hocking, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at SC Tourney, 6:30 Hannan at Grace Christian, 5:30 Softball Belpre at Wahama, 5 p.m. Poca at Point Pleasant, 5 p.m. Trimble at South Gallia, 5 p.m. Southern at Miller, 5 p.m. Eastern at Federal Hocking, 5 p.m. Tennis Athens at Gallia Academy, 4:30 Meigs at Wellston, 5 p.m. River Valley at Athens, 5 p.m. Southern at Belpre, 5 p.m. Wahama at Trimble, 5 p.m. Hannan at Van, 5 p.m. Track and Field Meigs at Logan, 4:30 Gallia Academy at Chesapeake, 4:30 Rio Grande Athletics Track at Nikoloff INV, 10 a.m. Men’s golf at OUChillicothe, 10:30 Baseball at Asbury, 6 p.m. Saturday, April 6 Baseball South Gallia at Belpre (DH), 10 a.m. Gallia Academy at Wellston, 11 a.m. Wahama at Ravenswood, 1 p.m. Softball Friday, April 5 South Gallia at Belpre Baseball Ironton SJ at Hannan, 7:30 (DH), 10 a.m. Independence, Hurricane Eastern at Miller, 5 p.m. at PPHS, 11 a.m. Gallia Academy at Rock New Boston at River Valley Hill, 5 p.m. (DH), noon Meigs at Wellston, 5 p.m. Track and Field River Valley at Athens, 5 p.m. Meigs, Southern, Wahama Southern at Belpre, 5 p.m. at South Gallia, 11 a.m. Wahama at Trimble, 5 p.m. Eastern at Fairfield Union, Softball 10 a.m. Rio Grande Athletics Logan at Point Pleasant, Track at Nikoloff INV, 10 5 p.m. a.m. Eastern at Miller, 5 p.m. Baseball at Asbury (DH), Gallia Academy at Rock 1 p.m. Hill, 5 p.m. Photos by Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Eastern sophomore Matthew Blanchard (2) delivers a pitch during the sixth inning of Tuesday night’s TVC Hocking baseball game against Wahama in Tuppers Plains, Ohio.

The former longtime coach has ties to three of the four coaches in Minneapolis this week, one by blood. Bennett’s son, Tony, coaches Virginia. Auburn coach Bruce Pearl used to coach against Bennett while at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Even bought one of Bennett’s videotapes on defense. Michigan State coach Tom Izzo used to work Bennett’s camps. In a Final Four where stingy defenses rule, it’s ﬁtting Dick Bennett has such a strong connection. “His inﬂuence on the game, maybe a lot of people don’t know about it, but in the coaching circles has been huge,” Tony Bennett said Monday. “My dad, he’s an open book, as they say. He’s so honest. He just wants to help the game because the game’s been so good to him.” Dick Bennett’s coaching career spanned ﬁve decades, from his days as a freshman coach at West Bend High School in Wisconsin to leading the Wisconsin Badgers to the 2000 Final Four. Bennett’s calling card was his “pack line” defense, which his son has utilized and enhanced to turn Virginia into one of college basketball’s stingiest teams. Relying on his dad’s defense and an improved offense, Virginia bounced back from last year’s historic loss to No. 16 seed UMBC to reach the program’s ﬁrst Final Four since 1984 this year. Now that Bennett has ﬁnally made it to the Final Four as a head coach — he was a student manager for the 2000 Wisconsin team — he will again turn to his dad For Ohio Valley Publishing TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM 64° 65° HEALTH TODAY Statistics through 3 p.m. Wed.

You just kind of grind like you do all season long.” Texas Tech’s Chris Beard plans to follow the example set by the coach he’ll face Saturday night: Izzo. Through his days as a young assistant or smallschool coach, Beard always admired the way Izzo handled himself and ran his program. Beard would go watch Izzo’s teams at their open practices whenever the Spartans were in the Final Four and patterned his program after Michigan State’s toughness under the man he calls an idol. Beard chatted with Izzo once at an AAU tournament — “I’m sure he doesn’t remember” — and was impressed by how amiable he was to a coach he had never met before. So when Beard saw he would be facing Izzo’s Spartans, he picked up the phone Monday morning. “Today talking to him on the phone was just really cool,” Beard said. “People talk about Final Four moments, and I’m sure there will be a bunch this weekend, but it’s pretty cool having a chance to talk to Coach Izzo. We have so much respect for his program.” 74° 55° Wilkesville 69/49 POMEROY Jackson 71/50 69/49 Ravenswood Rio Grande 71/50 71/50 Centerville POINT PLEASANT Ripley 63/50 GALLIPOLIS 72/51 72/51 72/50 South Shore Greenup 74/51 71/50 53 0 50 100 150 200 Portsmouth 72/51 for advice, along with former Badgers coach Bo Ryan. “I’ve listened to people and when I’ve either read some things or heard things coaches said, it seems like it’s the balance of, you do have to enjoy it, but you do have to remain focused and prepare well because you can get pulled in by so many different obligations,” Bennett said. Bennett is not alone in feeling his way through the Final Four. Outside of Izzo, who’s making his eighth appearance, none of the other coaches have led teams to this stage. The three new coaches have been to the NCAA Tournament in previous years, so they know what to expect from that standpoint. But at the Final Four, everything ratchets up: demands on time, the pressure, the stage, the attention, little things that become big like demand for tickets. Pearl has a simple plan for dealing with the whirlwind: change nothing. “My approach is going to try to be to just do what we do, keep it the same,” he said. “I just think the routine that we try to keep, the pace we try to keep from when we practice, the media, the 64° 39° A couple of showers possible NATIONAL CITIES Logan 63/48 McArthur 65/48 Very High Primary: cedar, juniper, elm Mold: 87 Moderate Chillicothe 65/48 Michael Conroy | AP Virginia head coach Tony Bennett celebrates after defeating Purdue 80-75 in overtime of the men’s NCAA Tournament’s South Regional final in Louisville, Ky. 75° 52° Adelphi 63/49 Waverly 69/49 Pollen: 14 Low MOON PHASES SATURDAY Cloudy with showers Partly sunny, pleasant and warmer 0 Primary: ascospores, unk.
