By Jordan Pickens Special to OVP “Railroad train, railroad train, hurry some more; put a little steam on just like never before. Hustle on, bustle on, I’ve got the blues, Yearning for my Swanee shore. Brother if you only knew, you’d want to hurry up, too.” These words are part of the lyrics of L. Wolfe Gilbert’s 1921 folk song Down Yonder, which was popularized by artists such as Red Foley, Bill Monroe, Willie Nelson, and Johnny & The Hurricanes over various years. Of course the song is talking about trains speeding along the tracks to get to their next destination, but there was a time in Meigs County when railroads not only provided means of transporting passengers and freight in and out of Meigs County, but they also provided local jobs for thousands over the decades. The first railway in the United States, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad chartered on Feb. 28, 1827, began hauling freight and passengers in 1830. While the first track of the B&O was only 13 miles long, it caused a lot of excitement. According to Ervin’s Pioneer History of Meigs County, On March 3, 1870, Gallipolis, McArthur, and Columbus Railroad Company incorporated to build a railroad from Gallipolis via McArthur to Logan – about 62 miles. On June 27, 1876, the Columbus and Gallipolis Railway was incorporated to purchase the above line, about 45 miles which had been partially graded. On May 21, 1878, Ohio and West Virginia Railway Co. was incorporated to purchase the above line. At this time 51 miles had been partially graded. On May 21, 1879, the line was changed to run from Logan via Gallipolis to Pomeroy – about 84 miles. On October 15, 1880, the line was opened from Logan to Gallipolis and on January 1, 1881, the line was completed and opened to Pomeroy. In 1881, the railroad was consolidated with the Columbus and Hocking Valley Railroad Company and the Columbus and Toledo Railroad Company to form the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo Railway Co. This not only opened Meigs County coal markets northward, but extended both freight and passenger services to Columbus and the Great Lakes region. The rail line going north passed through four tunnels between Langsville and Carpenter while climbing out of the Ohio River Valley along Leading Creek. In the 1900s, the railroads operated passenger and freight trains with eight passenger trains making the trip daily from Columbus to Charleston, four each way. Passenger trains traveled on separate tracks out of Hobson but merged at Rutland, with more than 25 stops made before reaching Columbus. Section hands kept tracks in order, and crews of five men kept these “iron horses” running. The crew consisted of an engineer; a fireman; the conductor, who took care of the passengers and tickets; the flagman; and the head brakeman.

In 1901, the Kanawha and Michigan Railroad established Hobson Yards as a place for its roundhouse and car-repair shops. Over the next 50 years, as many as 800 men worked in these shops and stimulated the economy of Middleport. Although the number of workers fluctuated, they were slowly phased out when diesel power and passenger service ended in the early 50’s. Just up from Hobson, the Middleport train station served both the Kanawha and Michigan as well as the Hocking Valley lines. Pomeroy also received a half roundhouse which sat just north of the Pomeroy Bend Bridge. Pomeroy’s passenger depot was on the south side of East Main Street between Sycamore and Lynn Streets. It was on the bank of the river and was destroyed in the flood of 1913 when floodwaters uprooted the building and caused it to crash into the Remington Hotel. After that, the Hocking Valley and Kanawha and Michigan shared a platform and small baggage shed on the river side of Main Street near Sycamore Street. Ticket offices for the railroads were located in pre-existing buildings on the other side of Main Street. The Kanawha and Michigan ticket office was housed in Kasper’s Electric Theatre. The Hocking Valley ticket office was in a building on the opposite corner across Sycamore and was probably there until the end of passenger service in the early 1950’s. The Hocking Valley freight station was on West Main Street, just north of Ebenezer Street near where McDonald’s sits today. In 1886, Rutland received its first railroad depot. The three-room Rutland depot building was approximately 23 feet wide, 40 feet long, and olive green in color. According to Meigs County, Ohio History: Volume II, The most common room to the passengers was the waiting room with its wooden benches, ticket office, and large blackboard on the wall where the train schedules were posted. The onecent gum machine was a favorite with the children. The freight room was interesting with a variety of articles: baby chickens, furniture, produce, and an occasional “occupied” coffin. The village was dependent upon this room for all goods were shipped by rail. From the train the freight was transferred to a wooden, flat wagon and taken to the freight room. From there it was carried by wagon to the stores. Rathburn’s Department Store, the largest in Rutland, owned four horses and a wagon used to deliver goods. The last railroad passenger train went through Rutland on June 2, 1951, and thereafter the depot was purchased by the Utsinger family for the amount of $700. The tracks were taken up and the trestles removed. The depot was later moved across the street and converted into a grocery store. Its final use was as a home until it was torn down in 2001. After northbound trains left Rutland, they passed through the communities of Langsville, Dexter, Dyesville, and Carpenter. The first tunnel, best known as the Langsville Tunnel, was constructed in 1908 and is over 714 feet long. Four miles past that is the Dunbar Tunnel, just south of Dyesville and north of Dexter, which is about 106 feet long; two miles farther just south of Dyesville, you will find the 300 feet long Wilson Tunnel. The final tunnel heading out of Meigs County is another 300 feet long tunnel north of Dyesville: Nicholas Tunnel. These railroads were the subjects of several accidents. One took place on June 23, 1911, when a passenger locomotive and a light engine crashed just outside of Dyesville, resulting in the death of two and left four injured. Another accident of note was when a freight train carrying coal somehow jumped the tracks along the depot at Dexter and crashed into the station. As a result, another station at Moxahala, in Perry County, was dismantled and rebuilt to replace the one at Dexter. 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. By 1969, only five employees remained at Hobson Yards. As the old Ohio flows….

We made prank calls, “Is your refrigerator running?” We ran through the sprinkler and flirted with boys. Yep, we all have a friend who shares those memories with us. Mine was Vivian. The Force family lived on Pitsburg Gettysburg Road. We passed their house on the way to church and most times we picked up Viv on the way. After church she either came home with me or I went to her house. The Force family was always part of our lives. My sister Peggy was friends and classmate to Sammy Force. Viv and I babysat for Janice’s kids in Greenville. Every Saturday night Raymond would drive back the lane to pick me up. It was rollerskating night! Yes, we had great times together.

The Meigs boys basketball team poured in 30 points over the first eight minutes of Tuesday’s Tri-Valley Conference Ohio Division bout in Larry R. Morrison Gymnasium, and the Marauders never looked back en route to an 83-61 triumph over Nelsonville-York. Meigs (5-7, 2-3 TVC Ohio) — which had dropped five of its last six decisions headed into play — led by a 30-15 margin after one quarter, thanks in part to a quartet of Weston Baer threepointers. Two more Marauders three-point tries found their mark in the second quarter, and MHS extended its advantage to 47-26 by halftime. Nelsonville-York (5-7, 2-3) — which has now suffered six losses in its last seven games — had its best offensive quarter of the game in the third, tallying 19 points, including a dozen from beyond the arc. However, Meigs scored 22 in the stanza and stretched the margin to 69-45 with eight minutes to play. Meigs was outscored by a narrow 16-to-14 clip in the finale, sealing the 83-61 triumph. The Marauders made 32-of-70 (45.7 percent) field goal attempts, including 7-of-15 (46.7 percent) three-point tries. MHS was 12-of-17 (70.6 percent) from the free throw line, where the Buckeyes shot 8-of-12 (75 percent). Collectively, the Maroon and Gold recorded 17 offensive rebounds and 15 defensive boards, along with 17 steals, eight assists and two rejections. MHS committed 15 turnovers in the win. Baer led the Marauder offense with 30 points and three assists. Coulter Cleland posted a doubledouble of 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Maroon and Gold, while Zach Bartrum came up with 11 points.

After leading Clemson to its second national title in three years, the coach is eager to get started on the next one. Swinney will be back in the office Friday — meeting with players, going over the schedule for offseason workouts, establishing the tone for another championship run. That may sound like a perpetual grind to some folks. Swinney calls it pure joy. “I get motivated by winning,” he said, his voice rising with excitement. “I don’t have to lose to get motivated. Man, I’m as motivated as I’ve ever been to get back to work with next year’s team and kind of figure it out. It’s going to be fun because we’ve got a lot of unbelievable seniors that are moving on, but we’ve got some dynamic pieces.” The Tigers completed one of the greatest seasons in college football — the best ever, in the estimation of Swinney and his players — with a Morry Gash | AP Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney answers questions at a news conference Tuesday. Swinney’s Clemson squad completed a stunning 44-16 blowout of mighty Alabama in the national championship game Monday night. stunning 44-16 blowout of mighty Alabama in the national championship game Monday night. Clemson became the first team in majorcollege history to finish 15-0, totally dominating the reigning champion, a squad that spent all season atop The Associated Press rankings. Swinney joined some very select company, becoming only the 19th coach to win multiple titles in the AP poll era, which began in 1936. While he scoffed at the idea of using the D-word — “We’re a long way from a dynasty” — there is no denying that Clemson has gained equal billing with Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide in any discussion of college football’s most dominant programs. The Tigers are 55-4 over the last four seasons — the same record as Alabama. Those two teams have divvied up the national titles, with three of their meetings coming in the championship game. The only exception was last season, when Alabama knocked off Clemson in the Sugar Bowl semifinal before beating Georgia for the crown. “We’re a great program.

That’s what I’m more proud of than anything, just the consistency.” Clemson will almost certainly begin the 2019 season ranked No. 1 and no worse than a cofavorite with the Crimson Tide to win another national title. The offense, in particular, shouldn’t miss a beat. Lawrence will return for his first full season as the starter, having shredded Alabama through the air for 347 yards and three touchdowns. Top running back Travis Etienne, who scored two TDs in the title game, is back along with several starters from an offensive line that had its way against the Tide. And then there’s the receiving corps, which will be led by sophomore-to-be Justyn Ross (six catches, 153 yards, one TD vs. the Tide) and rising junior Tee Higgins (three catches, 81 yards, a TD).

In a suit seeking classaction status for himself and thousands of other fans, Josh Finkelman claimed the ticketing policy violated a New Jersey law — since repealed — that required 95 percent of tickets to an event be made available to the public. The law was one of the strictest in the country at the time. Attorneys for the NFL argued that the lottery didn’t constitute a public sale, and thus didn’t trigger the consumer fraud law. They said it has been known for years — including by those in New Jersey who sought to attract the game — that the league doesn’t release Super Bowl tickets to the public in the same way as music concerts or even other sporting events do. Finkelman’s suit was dismissed twice by a federal judge in New Jersey, but in 2017 a federal appeals court directed New Jersey’s Supreme Court to rule on the state law issue. Arguments were held in September. The New Jersey court agreed with Finkelman that the sale of tickets through the lottery constituted a public sale, but ruled that the 95 percent requirement only applied to those tickets. “We do not consider the NFL’s distribution of other tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl to its teams, other selected individuals, and entities to constitute the unlawful withholding of more than five percent of ‘tickets to an event prior to the tickets’ release for sale to the general public’” under the relevant state law, Justice Anne Patterson wrote. Tickets bought on the secondary market were never meant to be part of a public sale, Patterson wrote. The NFL prohibits lottery winners from reselling the tickets they purchase. Pacers send Cavs to 10th straight loss MLB payrolls CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indiana Pacers found plenty to be displeased about after a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Pacers were upset that they had to make several plays in the closing minutes to hold off Cleveland 123-115 and send the Cavaliers to their 10th straight loss. Indiana led 38-14 late in the first quarter and was ahead by 23 points in the third against the team with the worst record in the league. But the game got close down the stretch. “We’ve got to be better than that — and we know it,” Pacers coach Nate McMillan. “We got off to a really good start, then in the second half, we played the scoreboard.” Thaddeus Young scored 26 points and Bojan Bogdanovic had 23. The Pacers needed baskets by Young and Victor Ola- 3-pointer from the top of the key and Young scored on a layup. “We played a good first 24 minutes, but the second 24 minutes were horrible,” Young said.

Still, even a year with flat payrolls is unusual for MLB. The only previous drops since 2002 were by $3 million in 2010 and by $32 million in 2004. Teams combined to spend $4.23 billion on major league payroll last year, according to final figures compiled by the commissioner’s office and obtained by The Associated Press. The decrease followed an offseason with a weak free-agent class that failed to push the average higher. Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano lost about $11.7 million and Chicago White Sox catcher Welington Castillo approximately $3.5 million after positive drug tests. Closer Roberto Osuna’s domestic violence suspension cost him roughly $2.1 million from Toronto and Houston, and Baltimore outfielder Colby Rasmus walked away from about $1.5 million rather than try to come back from a hip injury. World Series champion Boston had the highest payroll for the first time since the free-agent era started in 1976 at $230 million. In a sign of increasing parity, a record 24 teams had $100 million payrolls, and the Red Sox figure was the lowest for the top big league payroll since 2012. Luxury tax surcharges that started for the 2017 season appear to have changed behavior of highrevenue teams. MLB Deputy Commissioner Dan Halem said the slice of revenue going to major and minor league players last year was 54.2 percent, the same as in 2012. He cited a $9.4 billion revenue figure for 2018, up from $9.1 billion in 2017, and luxury tax payrolls, which use average annual values of contracts and include benefits. MLB pegged the average salary increase at 29.1 percent since 2012 and the average luxury tax payroll rise since then at 28.4 percent. “So although the top payroll in 2018 was the lowest since 2012, the average payroll has increased significantly, which means MLB has had payroll compression — which is a good thing for competitive balance,” he said. Union head Tony Clark declined to comment, spokesman Chris Dahl said. Agent Scott Boras claimed the players’ portion of the money has declined. “The luxury tax, the new elements have dramatically quelled the market,” he said. “The allocation of revenues to payroll has gone down.” NFL drops appeal over dementia claims in concussion case Mohamed Alsharedi, MD Oncology & General Hematology John Thomas, MD General Surgery Jessica Wilson, DO Family Medicine Debbie Mitchell, RN Nurse Navigator Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths among men and women in the United States.

Pleasant Valley Hospital OH-70099773 304.675.1666 | pvalley.org PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The NFL abruptly dropped its plan Wednesday to challenge approved dementia diagnoses in a landmark concussion case as players’ lawyers accuse it of trying to delay payments and rewrite the $1 billion settlement. A federal court hearing set for Thursday on the NFL’s appeal was canceled Wednesday afternoon as the league dropped its appeal. Instead, U.S. District Judge Anita Brody issued an order requiring doctors to explain their findings in certain cases. The NFL had asked to challenge some diagnoses made by settlementapproved doctors and upheld by a court-appointed administrator whose decisions are supposed to be final. The league nonetheless filed an appeal on the grounds that the standards used to diagnose the ex-players with dementia were not being applied consistently. The NFL argued that it had agreed to remove a $765 million cap on payouts only in exchange for “a clear demarcation of the boundary between compensable and noncompensable levels of impairment.” Some players’ lawyers said the NFL is having buyer’s remorse as the early payouts surge past early projections in the 65-year settlement. Plan administrators have approved more than $600 million in claims, and paid out $425 million, in the first two years alone. In contrast, the NFL had thought it would take a decade to pay out the first $400 million, according to a lead players lawyer who called the league’s appeal “meritless.” “Our advocacy on behalf of former players will continue to ensure they receive every benefit under this agreement, and that the NFL pays every dollar for which they are obligated,” the lawyer, Christopher Seeger, said in a statement Wednesday. Messages seeking comment were left with an NFL spokesman. Retired players can seek awards of as much as $3 million for moderate dementia and $1.5 million for mild dementia, although most men would get far less. The settlement resolves thousands of lawsuits that alleged the NFL hid what it knew about the risk of concussions in order to return players to the field. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
