Local Emergency Planning meeting BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — One Ohio Senator believes drug testing for welfare recipients is part of a solution to the state’s growing budget problems. Sen. Tim Schaeffer, RLancaster, has introducted Senate Bill 69, which would require drug testing for adults who apply for need-based assistance, such as cash assistance, Medicaid, housing assistance, food assis- tance and energy assistance. The urine tests, as proposed by Schaffer, would detect marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, heroin, amphetamines and other drugs. Anyone who tested for the drugs at levels prohibited for operating a motor vehicle, or refusing the test, would not be eligible for any public assistance for 30 days. Chris Shank, Director of the local Department of Job and Family Services told county commissioners in a recent update the legislation has not been scheduled for hearings, but said Schaffer is anxious to move forward on the bill. Shank did note, in material provided to county commissioners, that the requirement, if passed by the legislature, will involve increased expenses for the local agency and could affect other systems, as well. The bill is just one of several matters of pend- M AT H C O U N T S ! POMEROY — Local Emergency Planning Commission will meet at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the senior center. Lunch is available.

The National Weather Service out of Charleston W.Va. said data collected at the Racine Locks and Dam show 8.98 inches of rain has fallen since April 1. To put this number into perspective, only 1.6 inches of rain fell for the entire month of April last year. Data collected at Racine this year also shows 1.91 inches of rain fell in January, 4.21 inches fell in February and 6.71 inches fell in March. The NWS reported this is the wettest April in the history of the Huntington, W.Va., area and the second wettest April on record for Clarksburg and Parkersburg, W.Va. So far this month, Parkersburg has seen 7.29 inches of rain, more than an inch less than Racine. The NWS didn’t have a record in terms of the wettest month on record for Racine but reported this month could be the wettest April in the history of record keeping in Columbus which has had 6.27 inches of rain this month — another inch of rain will break the record of 7.08 inches. In addition to flooding along the Ohio River and other tributaries, heavy rains have saturated hillsides and caused or exacerbated land slips. Last week, a slip along Ohio 124 near Bear Wallow Road closed both lanes of traffic for a few hours before one lane was reopened. An official with the Ohio Department of Transportation said the agency is considering fixing the problem by placing caissons at the site. This could happen possibly around the second or third week of May. Until then, drivers can navigate the road with a traffic light. When it comes to county roads, Peach Fork Road is closed between Bunker Hill and Long Hollow Road while the county determines how to fix the slip. A spokesperson with the Meigs County Highway Department said the agency had also been dealing with slips on County Road 26 near Chester, Burlingham Road, Elk Run Road and Eden Ridge.

John Carey listened to concerns and complaints from a group of nursing home advocates that gathered last Saturday for a town hall meeting at Holzer Senior Care Center (HSCC) in Bidwell. The group was largely composed of Holzer employees and HSCC residents and their family members. The chief concern among those who attended the town hall meeting is the proposed cut in funding for skilled nursing facilities (SNF) found in Gov. John Kasich’s 2year budget plan that is currently under consideration in the state legislature. According to statistics provided by the Ohio Health Care Association, Kasich’s proposal would cut more than $400 million in Medicaid payments to Ohio’s SNFs. Kasich has proposed cuts in the budgets of every state agency in an effort to close the $8 billion hole in the state budget. HSCC officials said their facility alone would lose $154,194 worth of funding in fiscal year 2012 and $156,409 in fiscal year 2013 under Kasich’s proposed budget. Holzer officials estimate the total loss of funding for all of Gallia County’s SNFs would be approximately $816,557. They also estimate that about 27 SNF jobs would be lost. Gallia County’s four SNFs employ about 279 people. Carey told the crowd that the Ohio House finished processing 1,000 amendments to the budget bill on April 21 and has sent it to the Senate for its consideration. He said he does not believe that the proposed cuts will make the final version of the budget, due to better than expected tax revenues that have been reported in the early months of 2011.

After all, keeping the ailing mortgage giants afloat has cost taxpayers $150 billion and many in both parties want private lenders to finance a bigger share of the nation’s $11.3 trillion residential mortgage market. But House and Senate Republicans pushing bills to phase out both federally run companies are learning how fear, politics and old-fashioned lobbying can trump ideology. Even in the GOP-run House, leading proponents of doing away with Fannie and Freddie aren’t predicting victory. As a precaution, they’re advancing eight bills taking bite-sized swipes at the issue. In the Democratic-led Senate, a sister measure by 2008 presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., faces long odds, and the Banking Committee’s top Democrat and Republican are wary of quickly reshaping the market for financing home purchases. “There’s no consensus on it,” House Financial Services Committee Chairman Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., conceded in an interview this month about a sweeping overhaul bill by Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. “I can’t promise we will build consensus.” Fannie and Freddie don’t issue mortgages but buy them from the original lenders, thus providing cash for more loans. They then package many mortgages into securities that they resell to investors, using a government guarantee that lets them pay a lower yield than their few competitors. Bachus calls Hensarling’s bill “the gold standard” for Republicans. It would halt government backing of Fannie and Freddie and end or dramatically reduce their role in mortgage financing within five years. The goal is to turn the mortgage market over to banks and other private lenders, who have shied away during the relentless real estate bust of the past few years. With housing still staggering from foreclosures and low prices, some Republicans worry that erasing the federal role in the mortgage market could rattle the housing industry and perhaps the entire economy. Without the government guarantee of mortgage products that Fannie and Freddie enjoy, the cost of mortgages would likely rise, making homes less affordable. “You can’t do that,” Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif., a solid conservative and real estate developer from just east of Los Angeles, says of proposals to end the federal role in financing mortgages. “It would devastate the housing market.” Average home prices in the Los Angeles area have dropped 33 percent in five years, three times the national average, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Feeding lawmakers’ concerns are realtors, mortgage bankers and home builders, powerful constituencies and campaign contributors. The bankers and builders brought throngs of members to the Capitol last month to visit legislators, and the realtors are coming in May. “Every member of Congress has hundreds of them in their district, and they are very active,” Rep. John Campbell, R-Calif., another conservative who wants to maintain a federal role in financing homes, said of realtors. “I would not discount their impact.” Though Democrats, including President Barack Obama, agree that Fannie and Freddie should be eased aside to get private lenders back in the The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

For many in the GOP, Fannie and Freddie epitomize government waste run amok. Under President George W. Bush, the government took them over in September 2008 as they teetered near collapse as the housing market crumbled. Taxpayers have since shoveled $154 billion at the two companies to keep them alive — which resonates at a time when efforts to trim record budget deficits are a premier national issue. “The two largest, most influenceexerting, regulation-avoiding, bailed out institutions,” Hensarling, a member of the GOP leadership, called them when he introduced his legislation last month. In a brief interview, he said that once Fannie and Freddie are gone, he “absolutely, positively, unequivocally” wants to end the government’s role in the mortgage market. Many Republicans endorse that view, and many lobbyists and congressional aides expect Hensarling’s bill to ultimately move through Bachus’ Financial Services Committee and the full House. But there are GOP pockets of resistance, chiefly from lawmakers worried about the practical impact of such a move, particularly in districts with high home prices and where the housing market remains especially weak. Campbell, whose district abuts Miller’s and like him is on the Financial Services panel, says the housing market is too crucial to risk destabilizing it. Asked whether his stance was consistent with his party’s philosophy of smaller government, Campbell said, “We’re for smaller government and smarter government. We’re not for no government and we’re not for dumb government.” Working hard against sweeping changes are the National Association Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution of Realtors, the National Association of Home Builders and the Mortgage Bankers Association. While all are major Washington players, the realtors are especially potent: The $3.8 million they donated to more than 500 congressional candidates in the 2010 election was tops among all political action committees, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. So far this year, they’ve spent another $18 million lobbying. Vince Malta, a vice president of the realtors, said Republicans trying to end the federal role in mortgages are listening too much to their conservative tea party supporters. “The move here is political and not based on the reality of what is best for the housing finance system,” Malta said. The Obama administration has offered three options for phasing out Frannie and Freddie, with varying degrees of continued federal involvement, but left subsequent decisions to Congress. The administration has said it is unilaterally taking steps aimed at reducing the two companies’ housing roles and creating room for private lenders to move into the market. They include gradually increasing the fees Fannie and Freddie charge and reducing the size of their loan portfolios. House Republicans would take similar steps in eight small bills they pushed through a subcommittee this month. They would also go further, cutting the pay of Fannie and Freddie executives to government-level salaries and ending the companies’ mandates to back mortgages for lowerincome people.

Athens Co. man sentenced to 4 years for burglary BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS — An Athens County man was recently sentenced to four years of imprisonment in the Gallia County Court of Common Pleas after his community control was revoked. Joshua L. Wingo, 28, Nelsonville, was sentenced on April 19 to four years of imprisonment in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction for one count of burglary. Wingo was originally indicted on one count of burglary and one count of theft after he burglarized a residence located on Turkey Run Road in Cheshire Township on Aug. 19, 2009, and allegedly stole a total of 16 firearms. Wingo later pleaded guilty to count one of the indictment on April 7, 2010, and was sentenced to three years of community control on April 15, 2010, as per a plea agreem e n t . Moreover, on March 7, 2011, probation violations were filed with the court and allege that Wingo failed Wingo to bring documentation to his probation officer of registering with the unemployment office; failed to ask permission to leave Athens County to move to Gallia County; failed to make all of his office visits; failed to notify his probation officer of his move back to Gallia County from Athens County; failed to pay his supervision fee; failed to make payments toward the restitution in this case, leaving a balance of $3,926.30; and tested positive for Oxycontin. On April 19, 2011, Wingo’s community control was revoked and he was sentenced to four years of imprisonment. The defendant was given credit for 160 days served, ordered to pay court costs and was informed that he may be subject to a period of up to three years of postrelease control. Wingo previously pleaded guilty to one count of attempted breaking and entering in April 2008 in the common pleas court. He was fined $1,000, ordered to pay court costs and agreed to testify against his codefendant in this case.

TUESDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 8 Tuesday, April 26, 2011 Ex-Texas Rangers pres hired Reds stifled by Cardinals in 3-0 loss by MLB to run Dodgers NEW YORK (AP) — Former Texas Rangers president J. Thomas Schieffer was hired by Commissioner Bud Selig on Monday to run the Los Angeles Dodgers, less than a week after Major League Baseball took over operation of the franchise from owner Frank McCourt. Schieffer, younger brother of “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer, took over immediately. In seizing control of the franchise, MLB told the Dodgers that any expenditure of $5,000 or more would have to be approved. The 63-year-old Schieffer served three terms in the Texas House of Representatives in the 1970s after being elected at the age of 25. President George W. Bush appointed him ambassador to Australia in 2001, a job held until he became ambassador to Japan from 2005-09. In business, Schieffer managed investments in oil and gas. “Tom is a distinguished public servant who has represented the nation with excellence and has demonstrated extraordinary leadership throughout his career,” Selig said in a statement. “The many years that he spent managing the operations of a successful franchise will benefit the Dodgers and Major League Baseball as a whole.” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said the appointment wouldn’t affect his team’s approach. “It has nothing to do with us. It doesn’t change anything about what we do or how we get ready, making pitches, making plays, being in the right spot, playing baseball,” Mattingly said before Los Angeles played at Florida on Monday night. “This is kind of year two of it. The fact MLB came in doesn’t really change anything for us.” “I don’t know if it’s going to have any effect on moves we’re able to make or not able to make. I don’t know that. But the one thing we know is we’ve got control down here,” he said. The Dodgers took a 12-11 record into their game against the Marlins. “We talked all spring about being a club that’s ready to play and our responsibility to the fans and the game of baseball, playing hard every day, being ready to play and giving it everything you’ve got without making any excuses about any situation, whether it’s travel or weather or umpires, whatever it is,” Mattingly said. “And this is another one of those areas — it’s an area we can’t use as any kind of excuse.” Schieffer currently is senior counsel at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, the same position held at the firm by New York Yankees president Randy Levine. Schieffer invested in the group headed by Bush that bought the Rangers in 1989 and was ST. LOUIS (AP) — Edinson Volquez took the blame for the pitch that ruined his start. The Cincinnati Reds right-hander said he shook off catcher Ryan Hanigan on the firstpitch fastball that Yadier Molina hit for a threerun homer in the sixth inning of a 3-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night. Though it was his 100th pitch, Volquez said fatigue was not a factor. “No, no, I was good,” Volquez said. “I just made a mistake. I just threw the wrong pitch. That was my call, too.” Jake Westbrook threw six innings of three-hit ball in his first career start on three days’ rest for the Cardinals. The outing was the longest of the season for Westbrook (2-2), who entered with a 9.82 ERA and was strafed for seven runs in three innings Wednesday against the Nationals. The early hook after 68 pitches perhaps allowed Westbrook to rebound and help the Cardinals take two of three, break a tie with Cincinnati for first place in the NL Central and go to 11-0-1 in home series against the Reds since 2006. The Cardinals had two men on with two out, both on pop-ups, before Molina’s homer. “That pitch was supposed to be inside, but it got a little too much of the plate and Molina is a smart hitter,” manager Dusty Baker said. “Most of the time, in that situation he’s going to shoot you into right field, but that time it looked like he was looking for it in there.” Baker said Volquez would have been done for the night after the sixth. “What are you going to team president from January 1991 until April 1999, 10 months after the team was sold from Bush’s group to Tom Hicks. Schieffer also served as general partner from November 1994, when Bush was elected governor of Texas, until Hicks took control of the team in June 1998. The Fort Worth native was the club’s partner in charge of ballpark development before the 1994 opening of the Rangers’ new stadium. The Rangers won their first three AL West titles in 1996 and 1998-99 during Schieffer’s tenure. As the president of the Rangers, Schieffer was a member of several significant MLB committees and boards, including Selig’s 1999 Blue Ribbon Task Force on Baseball Economics. Once one of baseball’s most powerful franchises, the Dodgers have been in near constant turmoil since October 2009, when Jamie McCourt filed for divorce a week after husband Frank fired her as the team’s chief executive. Selig told Frank McCourt last Wednesday he would appoint a MLB representative to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the club. “I think everyone is of the mind that we really aren’t going to react to it,” Dodgers third baseman Casey Blake said. “Just show up here and prepare ourselves like we do every day to do what we do, and that’s play baseball and win games, and things will take care of themselves.” do, are you going to take him out right there?” Baker said. “The way he had manipulated his way through the inning, do you give him a chance to get out of that or do you bring somebody else in to take a chance of losing this game? “That was his game and his pitch count wasn’t that high and he was throwing the ball great, he just barely missed on that location.” Albert Pujols was removed for precautionary reasons after seven innings with mild tightness in right hamstring. Brandon Phillips had a pair of doubles for the Reds, who were shut out for the first time and have lost nine of 11. Volquez (2-1), who warmed up but did not pitch in a rain-delayed game Friday, had all seven of his strikeouts in the first four innings and limited the Cardinals to four hits in the first five before fading. Matt Holliday doubled with one out, followed by an intentional walk to Lance Berkman, and Daniel Descalso fouled out before Molina jumped on a first-pitch fastball for his first homer. Volquez has allowed seven home runs, one off the league lead. Phillips doubled with one out in the fourth for the first hit off Westbrook and doubled again in the sixth, both times ignoring boos from fans who can’t forget his role in a brawl last August in Cincinnati. Umpires presumably can’t forget either, with plate umpire John Hirshbeck warning both benches after Aroldis Chapman threw well inside against Molina in the eighth inning. Volquez replaced Sam LeCure in the series finale, with LeCure the probable pitcher Monday night in Milwaukee. Westbrook struck out four and walked three while throwing 87 pitches. He’s 8-18 with a 5.00 ERA for his career in April, by far his worst month, even after mastering the Reds. His previous outing, on six days’ rest due to a rainout, was his shortest in nearly four seasons. Mitchell Boggs worked the ninth for his third save in as many chances since replacing Ryan Franklin at the beginning of a 4-2 homestand and relievers combined for six strikeouts in three innings. The Cardinals have won 10 of 14 overall. Notes: Tony La Russa is much improved from a virus leaving the right side of his face swollen and eye nearly closed earlier in the homestand. ... Molina threw out a runner attempting to steal and homered in the same game for the fifth time in his career, according to STATS LLC. ... Reds RHP Homer Bailey (shoulder) worked 5 1-3 scoreless innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis, allowing three hits with six strikeouts and a walk, and the team will decide Monday whether he will need another start. ... Joey Votto has reached base safely in all 22 games. ... Chapman has not allowed an earned run in 10 appearances covering 9 2-3 innings.

Paul’s triple-double lifts Hornets past Lakers NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Where the Hornets would be without four-time All-Star Chris Paul is anyone’s guess. With him, they’ve become a major headache for the twotime defending champion Los Angeles Lakers, who won’t get out of the first round of the playoffs without playing at least six games and taking another trip back to the Big Easy. Paul had 27 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds, and New Orleans held on for a 93-88 victory Sunday night that evened their first-round playoff series against the Lakers at 2-2. “He’s maybe 6 feet and he had 13 rebounds,” said Hornets swingman Trevor Ariza, who added 19 points. “He played unbelievable. He’s made our team go all year. He’s carried us when we were down.” Paul played with his left hand wrapped in a black bandage because of a jammed thumb. Later in the game, he received a cut above his right eye. His hustling all-court game, however, was about as attractive as it gets as he recorded his first tripledouble of the season. He mixed it up with players up to a foot taller than him to rip away rebounds. He had a couple of steals. He sliced into the heart of the Los Angeles defense with fancy dribbles, sometimes pulling up to score and other times hitting open teammates for baskets. In the first half, there was a memorable bounce pass through a crowd of defenders to set up a dunk by Emeka Okafor. In the final seconds of the game, he aborted what initially looked like a driving floater and found Jarrett Jack for a short jumper to give the Hornets a 9086 lead with 9.3 seconds left. That assist capped a performance in which Paul went 7 for 14 from the field, hit all 11 of his free-throw attempts and scored 14 of the Hornets’ 24 points in the fourth quarter. “Chris Paul — that was one of the better performances I’ve seen in the playoffs,” Hornets coach Monty Williams said. “A lot of guys score. He scored. He assisted. He rebounded.” With the crowd in a frenzy late in the game, Paul cupped his hand next to his ear, soaking in the appreciation for a performance that bolstered the Hornets’ chances of a shocking first-round playoff upset. “Regardless of what happens in this series, it was good to see the city with a smile on their face,” Paul said. “It was fun, man. I’m just so thankful to get to say this is my way of life.” After going scoreless for most of the first half, Paul did it all from midway through the second quarter until the final seconds, even jawing with Lakers star Kobe Bryant a couple times and drawing a technical in one of those instances. Bryant, meanwhile, did not seem himself, even before hurting his left ankle and foot late in the fourth quarter in a collision with Willie Green. He scored 17 points, but was held scoreless in the first half and made only 5 of 18 shots. Bryant, who had his left foot and ankle submerged in ice after the game, said the injury appears worse than a sprain of the same ankle earlier this season. “It’s more on my foot,” he said, but added: “It’s going to take a lot to stop me from playing. I’ve played through so many of them that it kind of becomes old habit.” The Hornets’ victory ensured the series, which resumes with Game 5 in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, would return to New Orleans for Game 6 on Thursday. “Well, it’s a series now,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “We punked out there on the court tonight.” Jackson also credited Ariza, a former Laker, for his defense on Bryant, as well as his aggression on the offensive end. Ariza scored 16 in the first half, repeatedly slashing into the paint and once converting a soaring double-pump dunk over Andrew Bynum. His early production prevented the Lakers from pulling away by more than nine in the first half. Carl Landry finished with 16 points for the Hornets before fouling out in the final minute. Pau Gasol and Ron Artest each scored 16 for Los Angeles, with all of Artest’s points coming in the first half. Bynum added 11 points and Derek Fisher 10. While the Lakers remained confident in their ability to bounce back from their latest surprising setback against feisty New Orleans, Bryant said they would have to deal with the fact that there would be times when Paul is tough to contain. “He’s going to have games like this,” Bryant said. “The majority of the game, he’s just a phenomenal player.” NOTES: Bryant and Paul were the last starters for each of their teams to score. Paul didn’t score until he hit a driving layup with 1:03 left in the second quarter. Bryant, who was 0 for 7 in the first half and missed a technical free throw, finally scored with 9:28 left in the third quarter. ... The last time Bryant went scoreless for a half in a playoff game was May 25, 2004, against Minnesota. Bryant finished with 22 points and the Lakers won. ... Bryant hit seven free throws to become the Lakers’ leader in playoff free throws made with 1,216, passing Jerry West, who had 1,213. www.mydailysentinel.com Jim McIsaac/Newsday/MCT Bill Walker of the New York Knicks puts in a basket against Nened Krstic (4) of the Boston Celtics. The Celtics defeated the Knicks, 101-89, during Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Quarterfinals on Sunday, at Madison Square Garden in New York. Celtics hold on to complete sweep of Knicks NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Celtics never let this develop into the intriguing series that was expected. Instead, they turned it into the easiest one their current group has ever experienced. Kevin Garnett had 26 points and 10 rebounds, Rajon Rondo added 21 points and 12 assists, and the Celtics swept their way into the Eastern Conference semifinals, holding on for a 101-89 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday. Ray Allen and reserve Glen Davis each added 14 points for the Celtics, the first team into the second round after sweeping a series for the first time since a 3-0 victory over Indiana in 1992, the last series victory for their old Big Three before Larry Bird retired. “It’s what we expected coming in. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, obviously Games 1 and 2, but we found a way to put it away,” Rondo said. “We haven’t swept a team in a long time, so it’s good feeling.” And it gives their aging group plenty of rest before an expected showdown with the Miami Heat. The Celtics had a 23point lead cut to four in the fourth quarter, but pulled away again behind Garnett, who scored 20 after halftime. The current Big Three of Garnett, Allen and Paul Pierce twice was extended to seven games in the first round, but this one was far easier than expected against the injury-weakened Knicks. The Celtics could now have a week off while they wait for likely opponent Miami, which was forced to a fifth game earlier Sunday after a late rally by Philadelphia. The Celtics almost faced the same scenario, but a Knicks comeback attempt stalled in the final minutes before they were saluted by their orangeclad crowd after delivering the best season in New York in a decade. “Everybody understood what was at stake. Give a team some confidence, even in a 3-0 series to win a game, you never know what can happen,” Pierce said. “So it was just very important for us to withstand the run. They made a great run and the crowd really got behind them, but in the fourth quarter we just really settled down in the last six or seven minutes, executed the offense and were able to put the game out of reach.” Carmelo Anthony had 32 points and nine rebounds, and Amare Stoudemire, who decided to play after his back felt better, finished with 19 points and 12 boards but shot only 5 of 20 from the field. “It was all heart. He just gave it all. With him and Carmelo going forward, the Knicks are in good shape,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said. The Knicks shot 34 percent and were quickly dispatched in their first playoff appearance since 2004, when they were also swept in the first round. They haven’t won a playoff game in 10 years. “Tonight was one of those games that we have to leave it all out on the court. Wasn’t no need to take anything home with us, and we did that,” Anthony said. “So I’m pretty sure that we gained a lot of respect from a lot of people right now, but this is the first step of something great.” The Celtics were only 10-11 in their last 21 games of the regular season, struggling to adjust to a changed lineup after trading center Kendrick Perkins to Oklahoma City at the deadline and renewing questions they were too old. The Knicks believed they could challenge them, but Chauncey Billups was lost for good after straining his left knee in the final minute of Game 1 and Stoudemire was never the same after hurting his back during warmups before Game 2. Meanwhile, the Celtics got better as the series went along, pulling out two close victories in Boston and saving their best for Madison Square Garden, surrounded in orange as it was finally open for postseason basketball again. But that couldn’t shake the Celtics, who held the Knicks to three field goals in the second quarter to seize control. Garnett made three straight field goals to make it 70-48 in the third quarter before the Celtics let the Knicks back into it. Consecutive run-out dunks by Anthony cut it to 14, and New York had it all the way down to 10 when Shawne Williams’ 3-pointer with 36 seconds remaining trimmed it to 82-72 after three. Stoudemire opened the fourth with a basket and Anthony followed, bringing it within six and forcing coach Doc Rivers to put Garnett back into the game. He made a pair of free throws, but baskets by Stoudemire and Anthony Carter made it 84-80 with 7:34 to go. “I thought we dropped the guard a little bit,” Rivers said. “Give them credit, I thought they played desperate and you could see it in their play and their defensive energy.” But Boston would never let it get closer and finally put it away when consecutive jumpers by Rondo and Garnett extended it to 95-85 with 4:22 to play. Disappointed in their effort in a blowout loss Friday, the Knicks showed plenty of fight. Anthony knocked Rondo down for a flagrant foul and Stoudemire was called for a technical after he shoved Delonte West in the back following the Boston guard’s hard foul on Knicks rookie Landry Fields. But New York, which went 42-40 to end a franchise-worst streak of nine straight losing seasons and earn its first playoff berth since 2004, simply didn’t have enough to match Boston, which got 13 points from Pierce. Stoudemire made only one field goal in the first half as Boston led 55-38. �The Daily Sentinel LOCAL SCHEDULE POMEROY — A schedule of upcoming high school varsity sporting events involving teams from Meigs, Mason and Gallia counties.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A federal judge on Monday ordered an end to the NFL lockout, giving the players an early victory in their fight with the owners over how to divide the $9 billion business. U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson said she was swayed by the players’ argument that that the lockout, now in its second month, was causing irreparable harm to their careers. The plaintiffs “have made a strong showing that allowing the League to continue their ‘lockout’ is presently inflicting, and will continue to inflict, irreparable harm upon them, particularly when weighed against the lack of any real injury that would be imposed on the NFL by issuing the preliminary injunction,” Nelson wrote. The NFL promised an immediate appeal. “We will promptly seek a stay from Judge Nelson pending an expedited appeal to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals,” the league said. “We believe that federal law bars injunctions in labor disputes. We are confident that the Eighth Circuit will agree. But we also believe that this dispute will inevitably end with a collective bargaining agreement, which would be in the best interests of players, clubs and fans. We can reach a fair agreement only if we continue negotiations toward that goal.” The owners argued it was their right to institute the lockout and suggested Nelson didn’t have jurisdiction while the National Labor Relations Board considers an unfair labor charge filed by the league that players didn’t negotiate in good faith. Nelson disagreed, and said the NLRB proceeding shouldn’t be used to affect the court case here. The owners and players are not scheduled to meet again until May 16, four days after another judge holds a hearing on whether players should get damages in their related fight with owners over some $4 billion in broadcast revenue. If her ruling stands, it is still unclear exactly what happens next. The collective bargaining agreement has expired, so how the league would handle free agency, trades and offseason workouts at team headquarters, all of which were banned under the lockout, remains to be seen. But with appeals expected, the fight seems likely to drag on through the spring and, possibly, into the summer. The closer it gets to August, when training camps and the preseason get into full swing, the more likely it becomes that regular season games will be lost. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
