Multiple departments respond to a fire at 33 Auto on Sunday.
POMEROY —A three-alarm
fire late Sunday afternoon
heavily damaged an automotive repair business on State
Route 833 outside Pomeroy.
The Pomeroy Volunteer Fire
Department, along with the
Rutland and Middleport fire
departments, were alerted
around 5:07 p.m. to a working
structure fire at 33 Auto, located near the Enterprise area at
the intersection of Enterprise
Road and State Route 833. The
fire spewed thick black smoke
that could be seen for miles.
According to the Pomeroy
Fire Department’s Facebook
page, “Pomeroy Pumpers 1
and 3, Ladder 2 and Rescue
4 responded with Middleport
Fire Department Engine 13
and Rescue 17, and Rutland
Engine 42. On scene, firefighters found a one story metal car
repair building fully involved.
Pumpers 1 and 3 both
deployed deck guns to knock
down the heavy fire down
before going to hand lines to
extinguish the fire. Engine 13
provided an immediate second
load of water to P1 as P3 and
Rutland E42 shuttled water to
E13 during the fire.”
After the fire was contained,
Pomeroy advised Meigs 911
to contact the Ohio Department of Transportation and
the Meigs County Emergency
Management Agency due to
an oil leak as a result of the
fire. Both agencies responded
to contain the leak before it
reached nearby tributaries.
The business appeared to
sustain significant damage
and it was not known how
many vehicles were inside the
building when the fire started.
It is not known what caused
the fire or if there were any
injuries.
Also on the scene were
personnel from Meigs County

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Tuesday, April
4, the 94th day of 2017.
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 on a balcony of the Lorraine Motel
in Memphis, Tennessee.
On this date:
In 1818, Congress
decided the flag of the
United States would consist of 13 red and white
stripes and 20 stars, with
a new star to be added
for every new state of the
Union.
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 1859, “Dixie” was
performed publicly for
the first time by Bryant’s
Minstrels at Mechanics’
Hall in New York.
In 1864, President
Abraham Lincoln, in a
letter to Kentucky newspaper editor Albert G.
Hodges, wrote: “I claim
not to have controlled
events, but confess
plainly that events have
controlled me.”
In 1887, Susanna
Madora Salter became
the first woman elected
mayor of an American
community: Argonia,
Kansas.
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 1949, 12 nations,
including the United
States, signed the North
Atlantic Treaty in Washington, D.C.
In 1958, Johnny Stompanato, an enforcer for
crime boss Mickey Cohen
and the boyfriend of
actress Lana Turner, was
stabbed to death by Turner’s teenage daughter,
Cheryl Crane, who said
Stompanato had attacked
her mother.
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. Microsoft was

“Take the attitude of a student, never be too
big to ask questions, never know too much
to learn something new.”

founded by Bill Gates and
Paul Allen in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
In 1983, the space
shuttle Challenger roared
into orbit on its maiden
voyage. (It was destroyed
in the disaster of Jan.
1986.)
In 1991, Sen. John
Heinz, R-Pa., and six
other people, including
two children, were killed
when a helicopter collided with Heinz’s plane
over a schoolyard in Merion, Pennsylvania.
Ten years ago: Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad (ahmuh-DEE’-neh-zhahd)
announced the surprise
release of 15 captive British sailors and marines.
House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi held talks with
Syrian President Bashar
Assad over White House
objections. Radio shock
jock Don Imus outraged
some of his listeners by
disparaging the Rutgers
University women’s basketball team as “nappy
headed hos.” (Despite an
apology, Imus was fired
by CBS Radio and cable
network MSNBC; he was
hired elsewhere by year’s
end.)
Five years ago: Republican presidential candidate
Mitt Romney unleashed
a strong attack on President Barack Obama’s
truthfulness, accusing
him of running a “hideand-seek” re-election
campaign in an address
to newspaper editors
and publishers. A federal
judge sentenced five former New Orleans police
officers to prison for the
deadly Danziger Bridge
shootings in the chaotic
days following Hurricane
Katrina. (The verdicts
in the case were later
set aside by the judge,
who cited prosecutorial
misconduct; the officers
pleaded guilty in 2016 to
reduced charges.)

Marauders slip
past Philo, 3-2
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@civitasmedia.com
ROCKSPRINGS, Ohio — A great way to cap off
the opening week of the season.
The Meigs baseball team grabbed its fourth win
of 2017, on Saturday afternoon at on the campus
of MHS, as the Maroon and Gold claimed 3-2
walk-off victory over non-conference guest Philo.
The Marauders (4-1) took a 1-0 lead in the
home half of the opening inning as Christian Mattox singled home Tyler Williams. MHS extended
its lead to 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth when Mattox drove in Zach Helton.
The Electrics (1-3) — who were held to just
two hits over the first five innings — tallied four
hits in the sixth inning alone, leading to two runs,
which tied the game.
Meigs put two runners in scoring position in
the bottom of the sixth, but couldn’t push the goahead run across.
The Marauders came through in the bottom of
the seventh, as freshman Briar Wolfe singled home
Luke Musser to give MHS the 3-2 walk-off win.
Williams was the winning pitcher of record for
the Marauders, walking two and striking out one
in one scoreless inning of relief. Wolfe was the
MHS starter and he allowed two earned runs on
six hits and three walks, while striking out three
batters in six inning of work.
Berlin Danner suffered the loss for PHS, allowing one earned run on four hits and a walk, in
1.1 innings of relief. Philo starter Jacob Mohler
pitched five innings and allowed two earned runs
on six hits and four walks. Mohler struck out two
batters, while Danner struck out one.
Musser led the Maroon and Gold at the plate

LeBron’s 41 helps
quarreling Cavs hold
off Pacers in 2 OTs
CLEVELAND (AP) — The playoffs are nearing.
The Cavaliers are already feeling the pressure.
LeBron James made a big 3-pointer in the final
minute of the second overtime and scored 41 points
to offset 43 by Indiana’s Paul George, and Cleveland
opened its April schedule with an emotional 135-130
win Sunday over the Pacers, who remain on the outside of the postseason in the Eastern Conference.
James added 15 rebounds and 11 assists in 52
exhausting minutes — his most in more than four
years — for the defending NBA champions, whose
win was overshadowed by an angry exchange
between James and teammate Tristan Thompson
during a timeout late in the second OT.

Point softball takes 2 in Chapmanville
By Bryan Walters
bwalters@civitasmedia.com
CHAPMANVILLE,
W.Va. — A little revenge
while continuing to win.
The Point Pleasant
softball team picked up
its third straight victory
on Friday after picking
up an 8-0 win over Wyoming East and a 9-5 decision over Lincoln County
at the opening day of the
2017 Chapmanville softball tournament in Logan
County.
The Lady Knights (8-1)
allowed only two hits in
a six-inning decision over
WEHS in the opener,
then overcame an early
2-0 deficit against the
Lady Panthers by scoring
eight consecutive runs
en route to a four-run victory. The 9-5 over LCHS
also avenged Point’s lone
setback of the year, a 5-4
decision on March 25 in
Point Pleasant.
The Red and Black had
little trouble in the opener as they scored two
runs apiece in the first
two innings, then tacked
on another run in the
fourth for a commanding
5-0 cushion. PPHS added
two more in the fifth and
another in the sixth to
wrap up the walk-off decision.
Point Pleasant outhit
Wyoming East by a 6-2
overall margin and also
benefited from four
errors and 10 walks
in the shutout. PPHS
stranded 10 runners on
base, while the guests left
only two on the bags.
Leah Cochran was
the winning pitcher of
record after allowing two
hits and a walk over six
innings while striking out
six. Brehm suffered the

loss after surrendering
seven runs (six earned)
and seven walks over five
innings while striking out
nine.
Cammy Hesson led
Point with three hits,
followed by Cochran,
Michaela Cottrill and
Peyton Jordan with a
safety apiece. Cochran
and Cottrill drove in
two runs apiece, while
Hesson and Megan Hammond each knocked in a
run.
Hesson and Jordan
each scored twice in the
win, followed by Cottrill,
Kelsie Byus, Tanner King
and Izzy King with a run
apiece.
Booth and Griffith had
the lone hits for Wyoming
East.
In the rematch Friday
night, LCHS stormed out
to early 1-0 and 2-0 leads
through two innings as
Chelsie Chafin and Bailey
Pullin delivered RBI safeties.
PPHS, however, sent
10 batters to the plate
in the bottom half of the
second, which resulted in
six runs on seven hits.
Hammond started the
rally with a leadoff single
and later scored on a twoout single by Jordan, cutting the deficit in half at
2-1. Hesson followed with
a single that advanced
Jordan to second, then
Jordan scored on a Cottrill single that tied the
game at two.
Byus provided the
eventual game-winner
with a single that plated
Hesson for a 3-2 edge,
then Cottrill scored on
a Cochrarn single that
made it 4-2. Tanner King
followed with a double
that plated both Byus and
Cochran, giving the Lady
Knights a 6-2 lead.
Kelsey Price started the
bottom of the third with
a leadoff walk, then Shala
Swain entered as a pinchrunner and advanced all
the way to third on a wild
pitch. Lila Beattie followed with a walk to put
runners at the corners,
then Jordan laid down
a sacrifice that scored
Swain as Jordan was
called out at first — making it a 7-2 contest.
Beattie later scored on
a single by Hesson for an
8-2 edge — Point’s largest lead of the game.
LCHS answered with
a run in the fourth and
two in the fifth to close
to within 8-5, but PPHS
countered with an insurance run in the fifth as
Byus knocked in Hesson
with a two-out single for
a 9-5 cushion.
Both teams produced
12 hits and also committed an error in the
contest. Each squad also
stranded eight runners on
base.
Karson Bonecutter
was the winning pitching
of record after allowing
three earned runs, nine
hits and one walk over
four innings while striking out one. Jordan also
allowed two unearned
runs and three hits in
three innings of relief
work for the hosts.
Courtney Roberts
took the loss for Lincoln
County after allowing
nine earned runs, 12 hits
and three walks over six
frames while fanning two.
Hesson led PPHS with
three hits, followed by
Cottrill, Byus and Tanner
King with two safeties
apiece. Cochran, Hammond and Jordan also
had a hit each in the triumph.
Byus, King and Jordan
each drove in two runs,
while Hesson scored a
team-best two times.
Rachel Pennington led
LCHS with three hits,
followed by Chafin and
MacKenzie Cooper with
two safeties apiece. Makiya VanHorn also knocked
in two RBIs.
Point Pleasant was supposed to play in two more
games on Saturday, but
the event ended up getting rained out.

the important one.
The Point Pleasant
girls tennis team extended its winning streak to
five consecutive matches

the remaining six contests — and half of those
victories came by 8-0
counts.
Bailey Barnett posted
an 8-3 win over Candy
Kazee in second singles
and Danielle Marcum
earned an 8-1 decision
over Kenna Jeffrey in
third singles. Sarah Deem
also won her fourth singles match against Keazie
Scott by an 8-0 margin.

South Carolina wins 1st national title, beats Miss St 67-55
DALLAS (AP) —
Dawn Staley is going to
savor her first NCAA
championship.
It took her a long time
to finally be able to raise
the trophy over her head.
A’ja Wilson scored
23 points to help coach
Staley and South Carolina
win their first national
championship with a
67-55 victory over Mississippi State on Sunday
night.
Staley made the Final
Four three times as a
player at Virginia but
never won.
She also led the Gamecocks to the national
semifinals two years ago
before losing to Notre
Dame.
“It means that I can
check off one of the
things that had been a
void in my career,” said
Staley wearing the championship net around her
neck in the postgame
press conference. “Something I wanted to do. It
was one of two opportunities that I saw women
play when I was younger
— national championship
games and Olympics.
Those were things that I
held dear and near to me
growing up. Those were
the things I saw and were
shooting for.”
Wilson, a native South
Carolina player who was
Staley’s biggest recruit
ever, was the key.
She was thrilled to help
Staley get her first title.
“I can’t put into words
how much it meant to
win the game for coach,”
Wilson said. “She’s put
in so much time and
sweat into this. … It really
means something special
to bring this back home
for such a great person
like coach Staley.”
Once the final buzzer
sounded, Staley had a
long group hug with her
coaching staff and then
grabbed the trophy and
paraded it around the
court high over her head.
She cut down the final
piece of the net, waving
it to the huge throng of
Gamecocks fans while
Wilson and Kaela Davis
danced with the South
Carolina band playing.
“You have to give
tribute to the former
players,” Staley said.
“Go back to my Temple
days, they believed in
our vision. We took that
vision to South Carolina
and that vision was we’ll
be national champions. If
you stick with us and if
you’re disciplined, if you
believe all these players
believed in that. Happy
our words came true to
them.”
Staley became just the
second African-American
coach to win a national
championship.
She joined Carolyn
Peck, who won a title at
Purdue.
Mississippi State had
all the momentum on its
side after a shocking win
over UConn on Friday
night that ended the
Huskies’ record 111-game
winning streak.
The Bulldogs couldn’t
muster the same effort
against the Gamecocks.
Morgan William, who
had become the face of
the tournament with the
game-winner against the
Huskies after a 41-point
performance against
Baylor, was held to just 8
points.
South Carolina (33-4)
turned a 10-point halftime
lead into a 45-31 advantage midway through the
third quarter before the
Bulldogs rallied.
Mississippi State (34-5)
slowly cut into its deficit,
getting with 54-50 on
Jazzmun Holmes’ jumper.
That brought a huge
cheer from the thousands
of Mississippi State fans
who made the 8-hour trip
from Starkville, Mississippi.
But that’s as close as
the Bulldogs could get.
The victory in front of
a sellout crowd came one
day after the Gamecocks
men’s basketball team
lost in the Final Four in
Phoenix.
Wilson, who grew up in
South Carolina, blocked
a shot on one end of the
court and then hit a short
jumper in the lane that
started a 12-2 run to put
the game away.
Staley emptied her
bench with less than a
minute left and Wilson
left with tears of joy.
The junior center sees
a repeat in the future
for the Gamecocks, who
return most of their core
players.
“Man, just be with us
next year, we’re trying to
be in this same spot next
Keselowski pulls away and wins at Martinsville
MARTINSVILLE, Va.
(AP) — Brad Keselowski
had sampled success at
Martinsville Speedway,
but had never put everything together to get to
Victory Lane.
He changed that on Sunday, passing Kyle Busch
with 43 laps to go and
pulling away to win for the
23rd time in his career.
“It felt like we were due,
and if you ever can be, this
is one of those tracks and
today was one of those
days where we persevered
in a special way,” Keselowski said.
“The battle there with
Kyle at the end was a lot
of fun to be a part of. I
hope it was a lot of fun to
watch.”
The victory came in
team owner Roger Penske’s 1,000th start in
NASCAR’s top series, and
gave Ford its first victory
on NASCAR’s oldest and
smallest track since 2002.
It also made Keselowski
the first two-time winner
this season, and was his
fifth consecutive top-five
finish.
“This is one I’m never
going to forget,” said
Keselowski, who had been
the runner-up twice in the
past four races here.
Keselowski or Busch
led the last 160 laps and
swapped the lead several
times during a green flag
run that began with 64
laps to go.
Keselowski had the
lead coming out of the
14th and final caution,
but Busch quickly slipped
underneath him to go back
in front.
Keselowski stalked him
for 14 laps, the nose of his
Ford inches from the rear
bumper of Busch’s Toyota.
When he finally got
around Busch again, he
gradually pulled away,
opening a lead of nearly
two seconds as Busch’s
car, dominant for much of
the day, faded.
The lead paid off at the
end when Keselowski had
to navigate around lapped
traffic.
He won by 1.8 seconds.
“All we did was put four
tires on, and when we did,
it went to junk,” Busch
said of his car. “I hate
it for our guys. They’ve
deserved all year better
finishes than what we’ve
been able to produce, and
here’s another one today.
Just a frustrating season
so far.”
Busch led a race-high
274 laps and finished
second, followed by Chase
Elliott, Joey Logano and
Austin Dillon.
It was the first time
NASCAR tried its new
stage racing on a short
track, and it provided
some excitement.
Martin Truex Jr. won
the first stage in a threelap sprint that featured
lots of banging as drivers
jostled to make the pointscoring top 10.
Elliott won stage two
when Ricky Stenhouse Jr.,
trying to get back on the
lead lap, nudged Busch on
the final lap of the stage,
getting Busch just loose
enough for Elliott to slide
underneath him to score
the regular season points
and coveted playoff point.
Busch said he has
no problem with being
bumped, as long as Stenhouse knows to expect the
same treatment in reverse.
“I actually was rolling
into Turn 3 and was kind
of going higher out of the
way and was going to let
(Stenhouse) back by and
give him the lap,” Busch
said.
“That was my intent,
and then he just drove
through me and cost me
my spot to (Elliott). I was
trying to be a nice guy.”
POINTS
Even as the only multiple winner this year, and
with five consecutive topfive finishes, Keselowski is
just fourth in points.
Kyle Larson, who finished 17th, leads by four
over Elliott, and Truex is
third, another 28 points
behind.
Keselowski trails Truex
by just two points.
BABY STEPS
Elliott insisted all
weekend that he struggles
mightily at Martinsville,
but his performance for
the weekend suggested
he’s figuring it out.
He won Saturday’s
truck series race and got a
playoff point in the second
stage Sunday on his way
to the third-place finish.
“I hope that it wasn’t
just a fluke deal and we
didn’t just get lucky today
and run good,” he said.
SHORT DAY
Jamie McMurray
arrived with a streak of
five straight top-10 finishes and hopes of finally
breaking through at Martinsville.
Instead, he took a
chance not fixing a tire
rub under a green flag and
crashed out after just 105
laps.
UP NEXT
The series heads to
repaved Texas, where
most drivers will get their
first look at the new surface in their first practice.

how it goes,” Wilson said
after winning the most
outstanding player award
for the Final Four.
The Gamecocks won
the title without star center Alaina Coates, who
hurt her ankle in the SEC
Tournament.
She didn’t even travel
with the team to Dallas.
“Our players never
fretted, ‘La’ we got you a
ring. We got you a ring,”
Staley said of Coates.
“Allisha Gray, Kaela Davis
they all believed in it.
They spent a year getting
to know our team, getting
to know our system. Got
the opportunity to play
and we become national
champions. It’s incredible
belief and discipline and
can’t thank them enough
for choosing South Carolina.”
It was the third loss for
the Bulldogs against the
Gamecocks this season.
Mississippi State
dropped a game in South
Carolina in the regular
season as well as the SEC
Tournament title game.
“Today doesn’t define
us,” said Mississippi
State coach Vic Schaefer,
who is 0-9 in his career
against South Carolina. “It certainly doesn’t
define this team or this
season. We had a heck of
a year. Obviously we’ve
had some hard times dealing with them. Today was
no different.”
No team had a tougher
road to the championship
then the second-seeded
Bulldogs.
They were trying to
become the third team
in NCAA history to beat
three number No. 1 seeds
en route to the title. Tennessee did it in 1987 and
Louisiana Tech accomplished the same feat a
year later.
The Bulldogs had
already knocked off topseed Baylor and UConn
to get to the championship game.
This was the sixth time
in NCAA Tournament
history that teams from
the same conference
played for the national
championship, including
three by the SEC.
Tennessee won both of
those matchups, the last
coming in 1996 when the
Lady Vols beat Georgia.
Henley rallies to
win Houston Open,
earn trip to Masters
HUMBLE, Texas (AP) — Russell Henley no
longer gets to take a week off, and he couldn’t be
happier.
He’s going to the Masters.
Henley overcame a four-shot deficit Sunday in
the Houston Open by closing with a 7-under 65
for a three-shot victory, one of the most important final rounds of his career.
Only later did he realize it might have his best.
He made 10 birdies.
He never went more than two holes without a
birdie.
“I made 10 birdies today?” he asked. “Oh,
wow. Wow. Yeah, then I guess it’s definitely the
best.”
Henley ran off five of them in the opening
eight holes to briefly catch up to Sung Kang,
only to make a double bogey from the bunker on
the par-3 ninth at the Golf Club of Houston.
Only the 27-year-old from Georgia was just getting warmed up.
The decisive stretch came on the par-5 13th,
where Henley and Kang were tied for the lead.
Henley pitched to 3 feet for birdie, while Kang
missed from 15 feet.
On the par-3 14th, Henley rolled in a 35-foot
birdie putt on the fast greens, cut to try to mimic
what players will face at Augusta National.
Kang did well to save par from 6 feet.
And then Henley raced out to a three-shot
advantage with another up-and-down for birdie
on the par-5 15th.
He finished with a bogey for 20-under 268,
three shots ahead of Kang.
Rickie Fowler was never in the picture.
He made a double bogey with a wild drive on
the second hole, and then got hit driver off the
deck into the water on the par-5 fourth hole to
drop another shot.
Fowler trailed by as many as seven shots until
a flurry of birdies late in the round when it was
out of reach.
Fowler closed with a 70 and tied for third,
along with Luke List (68).
“Just an alignment problem that just caused
me to make a couple bad swings, cost me a few
shots,” Fowler said. “Nice that I got it turned
around and started to make some good swings
and made some birdies and fought back, got a
good finish out of it. Obviously, yeah, I would
have like to have gotten off to a better start.”
Jon Rahm, the 22-year-old rookie from Spain,
closed with a 67 and tied for 10th, his fourth
consecutive top 10 as he heads to Augusta
National for his Masters debut.
Henley won for the third time in his PGA Tour
career, and his first since a playoff victory over
Rory McIlroy in the 2014 Honda Classic.
He was in danger of missing the Masters for
the second straight year until winning the Houston Open, the only way into Augusta National at
this point.
“I wasn’t expecting to go back to Augusta,”
he said. “I was planning on not going, but I was
going to try my best to win. So, the fact I get to
go back is pretty cool and I’m excited. It hasn’t
really sunk in yet.”
Henley became the third player in the last four
years to win the Houston Open and earn a trip
to the Masters.
Kang, going for his first PGA Tour victory, had
a six-shot lead after 36 holes, the largest in tournament history.
He appeared to get a slight reprieve Saturday
when Fowler fell back with a four-putt double
bogey on the 18th hole of the third round.
