Governor addresses local Republicans arraigned on multiple charges By Sarah Hawley shawley@civitasmedia.com POMEROY — A Pomeroy man was arraigned last week in Meigs County Common Pleas Court in connection with two separate alleged offenses in the Darwin area in recent weeks. Todd A. Dill, 42, pleaded innocent to charges of trespass in a habitation and resisting arrest in connection with a Feb. 19 incident and charges of obstructing official business and aggravated menacing in connection with a Feb. 28 incident. According to previous Sentinel reports, on Feb. 19 a call was received from a resident of State Route 681 in Darwin that his neighbor, Dill, was allegedly in his basement and was not supposed to be there. The first deputy, Sgt. Don Mohler, arrived on scene and entered the home through the busted hole in the basement door. One of the home owners was at the top of the stairs reportedly trying to keep the suspect from getting further into the home. Mohler engaged the suspect to get his attention away from the home owner and placed him against the wall and attempted to handcuff him. The suspect reportedly resisted being handcuffed. Once the second deputy arrived, the suspect reportedly increased his resistance and was tased. The taser reportedly had no effect on the suspect. The deputies then wrestled him to the floor and handcuffed him. The suspect was alleged to have been on meth at the time of the incident. On Feb. 28, Sgt. Curtis Jones and Deputy Jim Stacy, with the assistance of Pomeroy and Middleport Police Departments were called to the area of Route 33 and Route 681 for a male allegedly running in an out of traffic wearing nothing but blue jeans and one sock. On arrival, officers located the suspect, later identified as Dill, allegedly running in the roadway. Sgt. Jones had to swerve his vehicle to avoid hitting Dill and then attempted to get Dill in his cruiser to avoid any further incident. Dill appeared to be on under the influence of an illegal substance and incoherent to Sgt. Jones’ commands. Dill then ran up the west bound lane of U.S. 33 to Rocksprings Road to avoid arrest. In attempt to stop Dill for his safety, Sgt. Jones deployed his taser but only struck Dill with one barb as Dill jumped the guardrail disappeared into the night. Dill was arrested the next morning at a residence on Flatwoods Road. Attorney Tommy Saunders was appointed to represent Dill in the cases. Dill remains held on a $30,000 bond with 10 percent permitted. An initial pretrial in the case is scheduled for April 3, final pretrial on May 1 and trial on May 9.

Many White House staffers can sign off on someone coming to the grounds. The disclosure about the intelligence reports brought criticism from Democrats, especially those who sit on Nunes’ committee and are working with him on an investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. That investigation is also looking into possible ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin. Nunes said the intelligence reports were not related to Russia. The Senate intelligence committee, too, is conducting an investigation into Russia’s interference in the election and any possible ties with the Trump campaign. On Monday, the White House confirmed that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has volunteered to be interviewed by the Senate committee about arranging meetings with the Russian ambassador and other officials. Kushner is the fourth Trump associate to offer to be interviewed by the congressional committees looking into the murky Russia ties. Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, Trump adviser Carter Page and Trump associate Roger Stone last week volunteered to speak as well. Manafort, Page and Stone’s announcements last week that they would be interviewed came amid Nunes’ disclosures about the new intelligence he had seen. The White House was asked repeatedly last week about whether it was the source of Nunes’ information. On Thursday, spokesman Spicer mocked the idea. “I don’t know why he was coming up to brief the president on something that we gave him,” Spicer told reporters, Governor choose. In order to do that, officials need to make sure kids have the education and training to live the life they want, said Taylor. “Ohio is a place where the only limit you have is what you place on yourself,” said Taylor. “We all have a limited time on this earth, make it count,” concluded Taylor. Meigs High School student Cole Durst was recognized during the event for the highest score on the American Government test given by the Ohio American Legion each year. Durst was presented with proclamations and commendations from Meigs County officials, State Rep. Jay Edwards, Taylor, and U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson (presented by Julie Stephens).

Member SIPC. �E ditorial 4 Tuesday, March 28, 2017 Daily Sentinel THEIR VIEW Remember when presidents lived at the White House? By Dan K. Thomasson Contributing columnist WASHINGTON — Way back when the United States was just a baby nation, its citizens built a house for their president. Not a palace for a king like the one they had shed, but a democratically suitable residence on a regular street. It was a little larger than many but with a common address — 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — and was something they could be proud of. It took very little time for this classic mansion to take on its own identity, separate of its occupant’s, as a place the world knew was the seat of government and a symbol of liberty. “The White House said today … “ For more than 200 years, with a brief exception or two — when the British burned it, and when Harry and Mrs. Truman moved out for repairs — this stately residency was occupied by a family excited to be there no matter the opulence of their prior living arrangement. That is, until the voters elected a real estate mogul who is also a casino and golf course operator who decided to spend only part of his time there. In fact, his model wife and his youngest son, ostensibly to finish school, would be residing officially in a far glitzier setting with a gold motif in New York City. She would be at 1600 Pennsylvania on special occasions, of course. And Mr. Trump, meanwhile, would almost immediately begin weekending at another one of the family’s luxury sites in Florida, doing what he accused his predecessor of doing too much of, golfing. Meanwhile, most of the rest of the large, government-protected, peripatetic Trump family would also be living elsewhere. But this is old news. What isn’t is the mounting cost of security necessary for the protection of the chief executive in so many venues in an age of terrorism. It’s an amount that’s making it difficult for the Secret Service to provide and carry out other missions without a substantial increase in its budget of some $60 million, nearly $30 million of which would go to protection. While there have been reports the Office of Management and Budget has rejected the boost, the White House (or Mara-Largo, or Trump Tower, or wherever) denies that. The total cost of the presidential security is usually classified, so one can “The figures are illusive in all cases but reach into state and local pocket books heavily.” only guess the full figure given the family’s size, movement and so forth. To paraphrase the Donald, who is fond of saying, “Most people don’t know,” most Americans, and that includes me, couldn’t come close to an accurate prediction of the total amount. The extra money may have to come from other sources in the Service’s budget, which would normally go toward other missions like counterfeiting, cybercrimes and exploited minors, according to The Washington Post. Most federal departments and agencies are facing dramatic reductions if Trump has his way. But that might not happen given growing congressional alarm. The figures are illusive in all cases but reach into state and local pocket books heavily. The estimated costs to the New York Police Department when the president is at Trump Tower is $300,000. That declines to between $127,000 and $145,000 a day when only Mrs. Trump and the son are in residence, according to the Post. At Mar -a-Largo, Palm Beach County authorities say they already have spent $1.5 million for overtime for their force because of Trump visits. This is beyond federal outlays, of course. All this becomes surreal when one considers that Trump during his campaign never forgot to criticize Barak Obama for alleged excessive travel and failure to hold down expenses. He even disavowed vacations. One with a sense of humor most ask, “Do you serve baloney sandwiches on those flights to Florida?” But our experience of Trump’s three months in office tells us the answer to that. That kind of inconsistency can only be part of the DNA. The Trump lifestyle does not bode well for an agency that has struggled over the years against budget cuts and increased demands and still has no recourse but to carry out its mission. Besides, Americans expect their president to occupy the home it early citizens so lovingly built.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, March 28, the 87th day of 2017. There are 278 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 28, 1942, during World War II, British naval forces staged a successful raid on the Nazi-occupied French port of St. Nazaire in Operation Chariot, destroying the only dry dock on the Atlantic coast capable of repairing the German battleship Tirpitz. On this date: In 1834, the U.S. Senate voted to censure President Andrew Jackson for the removal of federal deposits from the Bank of the United States. In 1896, the opera “Andrea Chenier,” by Umberto Giordano, premiered in Milan, Italy. In 1898, the Supreme Court, in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, ruled that a child born in the United States to Chinese immigrants was a U.S. citizen. In 1930, the names of the Turkish cities of Constantinople and Angora were changed to Istanbul and Ankara. In 1935, the notorious Nazi propaganda film “Triumph des Willens” (Triumph of the Will), directed by Leni Riefenstahl, premiered in Berlin with Adolf Hitler present. In 1941, novelist and critic Virginia Woolf, 59, drowned herself near her home in Lewes, East Sussex, England. In 1955, John Marshall Harlan II was sworn in as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1969, the 34th president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, died in Washington, D.C. at age 78. In 1977, “Rocky” won best picture at the 49th Academy Awards; Peter Finch was honored posthumously as best actor for “Network” while his THOUGHT FOR TODAY “A man can do his best only by confidently seeking (and perpetually missing) an unattainable perfection.” — Ralph Barton Perry, American author and educator (1876-1957) co-star, Faye Dunaway, was recognized as best actress. In 1979, America’s worst commercial nuclear accident occurred with a partial meltdown inside the Unit 2 reactor at the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania. In 1987, Maria von Trapp, whose life story inspired the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The Sound of Music,” died in Morrisville, Vermont, at age 82. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal to the widow of U.S. Olympic legend Jesse Owens. Ten years ago: Iran aired a video of 15 British sailors and marines who were captured five days earlier; the lone female captive, Faye Furney, wearing a white tunic and a black head scarf, said the British boats had “trespassed” in Iranian waters while patrolling for smugglers near the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab, a disputed waterway. (The crew members were released a week later.) In the Philippines, dozens of children were taken hostage on a bus by a daycare center owner armed with grenades and guns; the crisis ended peacefully 10 hours later with the hostage-taker’s surrender. �NEWS/WEATHER Daily Sentinel Tuesday, March 28, 2017 5 The last day for the ‘Big K’ Red Cross calls for type O negative and AB blood donors Staff Report OHIO VALLEY — The American Red Cross is issuing a call for type O negative and AB blood donors to make an appointment to give after severe winter weather in some parts of the country caused about 250 Red Cross blood drives to cancel in March, resulting in more than 8,500 uncollected blood donations. Type O negative blood and type AB plasma are two of the most in-demand blood products by hospitals. Those who give can help patients locally or across the country as the Red Cross has the ability to move blood products where and when they are needed most. “All blood types are needed to meet the constant need of patients, and there is a significant need now for type O negative and AB donations to help some of the most vulnerable patients,” said Nick Gehrig, Director of Communications, “We ask that you schedule an appointment to roll up a sleeve to help save a life in the coming days.” Donations help patients like Brady Prosser. He was severely burned in October while mowing near burning leaves. He received regular — sometimes daily — blood and plasma transfusions during his hospitalization. Type O negative blood can be transfused to patients with any blood type and is often needed in emergency situations when there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type. While less than 7 percent of the U.S. population has type O negative blood, hospitals depend on frequent O negative donations to ensure it’s always available for patients in need. Type O negative blood donors are an important part of the Red Cross trauma team. Type AB is the universal plasma type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type in an emergency. Plasma helps maintain blood pressure and supplies critical proteins for clotting and immunity. Plasma can be donated through a blood donation. Morgan McKinniss/ OVP On Monday, any exterior sign of “Kmart” was wiped away as the “Big K” on the front of the store’s former home was removed. The doors officially closed on the Gallipolis location on Sunday, after months of liquidation sales. Back in December, Sears Holdings announced 78 additional Kmart stores and 26 Sears stores would be closing this spring nationally, among them, the Kmart store in Gallipolis. It’s estimated around 50 employees were to be displaced due to closure of the location on Upper River Road.

A plethora of local athletes came away with positive results in their first track and field meet of the 2017 campaign Friday night during the Paul Wood Invitational held at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field on the campus of Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School in Mason County. Over 20 teams competed on both sides of the annual event, which included both programs from Point Pleasant, Wahama, Hannan and Ohio Valley Christian locally. The remainder of the teams participating also consisted of West Virginia schools from around the region. On the girls side of the 18-event meet, Winfield came away with top honors with 177 points. Cabell Midland was the runner-up out of 15 scoring teams with 65 points, while Hurricane (48) and OVCS (36) rounded out the top four spots. The host Lady Knights placed sixth overall with 32 points, while Wahama and Wayne tied for 14th place with six points apiece. Ohio Valley Christian senior Rachel Sargent led all the locals with three individual titles in the 100-meter (13.17 seconds), 200m (27.03) and 400m (1:00.13) dashes.

The Lady Knights (4-1) surrendered only four games total to Sherman in the opening 7-0 win of the day, which included four 8-0 victories in the seven matches held — including sweeps in all three doubles matches.

In combining for only four runs, five hits and 13 errors in Saturday’s season-opening baseball doubleheader, the Rebels lost the twinbill at Symmes Valley — by scores of 10-2 and 17-2. The second contest was called in the fifth inning with the 10-run mercy rule. South Gallia, in fact, was no-hit in the second affair by the combination of Symmes Valley’s Laykin Gothard and Payton Hayes. Gothard, who pitched an inning in the opener, struck out a dozen Rebels in the nightcap — in working the first four innings for the win. Chayden Renfroe struck out 13 in his five frames in the first game, allowing only three hits with four walks. Gothard and Hayes also pitched an inning in the lidlifter.

Edelmann, Kenedie Roush and Ryleigh Caldwell collected RBIsingles, while Carly Shriver secured a single as well. Caldwell, Barnes and Jenna Meadows managed three runs scored, while Copley crossed twice. In the loss to the Highlanders, the Blue Angels answered Huntington’s initial run in the opening inning, but the Highlanders —on the strength of two runs in the third and four more in the sixth — opened up a 7-1 advantage. None of Huntington’s runs were earned, as the Blue Angels helped the Highlanders by committing six errors. Camryn Michallas, who allowed only two earned runs on five hits and two walks, pitched for the complete-game win. She struck out 10 batters, and helped herself at the plate by going 2-for-3 with a double in the first inning and a three-run home run in the sixth. Copley tossed the complete game for Gallia Academy, and walked three with one strikeout. Jenna Meadows tied the tilt at 1-1 with a two-out solo home run in the bottom of the first, but the only baserunners Michallas allowed until the sixth were a Bailey Meadows single in the third and a Roberts single in the fifth. In the sixth, Copley led off with a single and Barnes reached on an error, as Copley crossed on Roberts’ RBI-single. Barnes then scored on a passed ball to make it 7-3. In the seventh, Bailey Meadows and Caldwell reached on one-out walks, but were stranded at third and second to end the game.

(AP) — A blistering first in qualifying. A surprising first in the Xfinity Series race. And a steady, tenacious first when it really mattered on Sunday. Kyle Larson was second to nobody in his home state. Larson persevered through four late restarts to win at Fontana, adding his second career victory to his overall Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series points lead. “Lots of fun to be Kyle Larson right now,” Larson said with a grin. “Our race cars are really fast in Xfinity and Cup, so it’s a blast to show up to the race track every week.” Larson finished second in each of the last three races, but the Sacramento-area native’s Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet was the class of the field at Auto Club Speedway all weekend long. He claimed the second pole of his career Friday, and he also won the Xfinity race Saturday in a result that surprised him much more than his Cup triumph. The 24-year-old prodigy became just the fourth driver to sweep a race weekend at Fontana. “Our cars are really good at every race track right now,” Help Wanted General Larson said. “I feel like I have a shot to win every time I go to the race track. That’s always a lot of fun. That’s something I’ve always hoped for, to get to a point like that in my NASCAR career. In the past, I had race tracks where I knew I would be good, but right now, we’re going to some tracks that aren’t good for me and running up front. It’s a lot of fun to have that confidence.” Fontana’s bumpy 2-mile track particularly suits Larson’s skills, and he was unshakable during the late drama and jockeying typical to the five-wide asphalt one hour east of Los Angeles. After surging up from fourth to first with four new tires before the final caution, he made one last outstanding restart and cruised through two overtime laps to win. “This is just amazing,” Larson said. “We have been so good all year long, three seconds in a row. I’ve been watching all the TV, like, ‘He doesn’t know how to win.’ But we knew how to win today, so that was good.” Brad Keselowski was second, and Clint Bowyer came in third for his best finish since June 2015 and his first top-five finish in 52 races. Martin Truex Jr. was fourth after challenging Larson aggres- SERVICE / BUSINESS DIRECTORY Help Wanted General HOME FOR SALE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY MOTOR ROUTE Would you like to deliver newspapers as an independent contractor under an agreement with Pomeroy Daily Sentinel?? s Be your own boss s 5 day delivery s Delivery times is approx. 3 hours daily s Must be 18 years of age s Must have a valid driver’s license, dependable vehicle & provide proof of insurance s Must provide your own substitute OPERATE YOUR OWN BUSINESS WITH POTENTIAL REVENUE OVER $1,000 PER MONTH For more information please email Tyler Wolfe at twolfe@civitasmedia.com or apply in person at 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH Mon-Fri 8:30 am - 4:30 pm $$$$$$$$$ ������43�����t�1PNFSPZ �0IJP $39,900.00 2 bedroom-1bath Newer metal roofsubflooring-floorcovering New bath fixtures & plumbing updates -out of flood plain-gas furnace-electric central air no land contracts 740-416-0914 60706546 $$$$$$$$$ Lost & Found Lost Cat female siamese near Deal Funeral home please call 304-675-3711 Notices NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

After an early NASCAR season full of dominant cars getting stung at the finish, Larson wasted none of his advantage. “He’s on a really nice roll, and it takes everything,” said Keselowski, who surged into second after two outstanding late restarts. “This is a sport of speed, execution and luck, and when you’re on a roll like that, you’ve got all three on your side.” Ganassi credited the win to his young driver’s increasing maturity, along with his fast car, of course. Larson is a former Earnhardt Ganassi Racing development driver who landed with Chip Ganassi Racing in 2014, showing steady promise that built to this spectacular season to date. “I think he’s got a lot of runway, and we don’t even have the engines pulled up yet,” Ganassi said of Larson’s potential. “I think he’s got a long way to go. I have no idea what he’s capable of. Your guess is as good as mine.” Larson is only the second driver in Fontana history to win from the pole, joining six-time NOTICE Borrow Smart.

Johnson, Keselowski and Phoenix winner Ryan Newman all sustained minor damage early on, but Larson was fast from the start. Larson won the first stage of 60 laps, earning his first stage victory of the season, but lost his lead during a slow stop after getting too close to the wall on pit road. Truex won the second stage, but Larson slipped past him to reclaim the lead on the first lap of the final stage. The leaders pitted under caution with 20 laps to go, but Truex had his first slow stop all day and slipped five spots down the field to seventh. Larson won the race off pit road and had a fine restart, but Matt Kenseth slid hard into the wall moments later after minor contact with Truex. Kenseth failed to finish for the third time in five races this season. After the restart with 12 laps to go, Larson flew past Kyle Busch and built a decent cushion — only to slow again when Cory LaJoie spun out.

That’s because the host Raiders, playing their first games on their new field at River Valley High School, handled Hannan 12-3 and 6-3 in Saturday’s season-opening baseball doubleheader. The first contest was called after four-and-a-half innings with the 10-run mercy rule, while the nightcap was also called after four-and-a-half frames. In the opener, the Raiders erupted for seven runs in the first inning — before adding a single marker in the second to make it 8-0. After the Wildcats scored three runs on four hits off River Valley’s Brycen Brumfield in the fourth, the Raiders responded with four more runs in the bottom half to make it 12-3. Austin Ragan then pitched a 1-2-3 fifth frame for River Valley — with one strikeout and two defensive assists. Devon McDonald was the starting and winning pitcher for the Raiders, as he allowed only two second-inning singles — while walking none and striking out six in three innings of work. The only hits he allowed were second-stanza singles to Corey Hudnall and James Bledsoe. Both clubs had six hits apiece, but three Hannan hurlers each allowed three walks. Ragan ripped a triple to lead off the Raiders’ initial at-bat, as Dustin Barber belted a two-run double to punctuate the seven-run inning. K.C. Collins in the first inning and Cameron Potter in the second had RBI-singles, while Andrew Mershon and Will Edgar also singled in the fourth. Brumfield scored twice for the Raiders. The Wildcats scored their three runs in the fourth by combining a Raider error, a double by Christian Holland, singles by Nick Hughes, Sawyer Casto and Austin Chaffin, and RBIs by Hudnall (sacrifice fly) and Bledsoe (groundout). Similar to the first tilt, the second bout featured five hits by both squads, but the Raiders took advantage of six walks and a pair of hit batsmen by Hannan. The Wildcats scored first in the opening inning, but the Raiders responded by scoring the next six runs to lead 6-1 following three. Hannan cut the deficit in half to 6-3 in the fourth, but left runners on the corners after a pair of walks issued by River Valley’s Bailey Rhodes. Wyatt Newman pitched a 1-2-3 fifth inning which included a strikeout. Kevin Morehart had a double and scored to make it 1-0 Hannan, but the Raiders forged the tie when Ragan walked to lead off and Brumfield plated him on a two-out single. In the second, Lannis Gilbert was hit by a pitch before Jack Farley and Tre Craycraft both walked — as Ragan cleared the bases to make it 4-1. In the third, Collins singled with one out, before Barber drove him in with two outs. Morehart and Hughes had singles in the third, but the Wildcats didn’t score again until the fourth — when Bledsoe and Qualls both singled with Qualls scoring Bledsoe. Dalton Coleman then reached on an error to cross Qualls and make it 6-3. The Raiders return home, and return to non-league action, today (Tuesday, March 28) against Oak Hill. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. The Wildcats return to the road today — when they travel to Teays Valley Christian.

The Blue Devils did not have a hit beyond the second inning, as Washington Court House made a pitching change to Barrett. The only baserunners he allowed were walks to John Stout in the third, Braden Simms in the fifth and Tanner Allen in the seventh. With the score tied 3-3, Simms scored the go-ahead — and ultimately game-winning — run, when he walked, stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on an RBIgroundout by Stout. Stout singled in Allen in the Blue Devils’ initial at-bat — as Allen was hit by a pitch, sacrificed to second by Simms, and tagged to third on a flyout by Brumfield. Another leadoff hit batsmen led to Gallia Academy’s other two runs in the second to make it 3-0. Adam Sickels was hit this time, as Cole Davis delivered the sacrifice bunt before Dylan Smith singled.
