The event, titled, “Jesus Take the Wheel...And Save Our Community” takes place from 7-8:30 p.m., Friday, May 6 on the Pomeroy parking lot.

Collecting food donations is an annual project of the National Association of Letter Carriers. Last year Pomeroy carriers collected 1,900 pounds of food to go into the “Stamp Out Hunger” program. Nationally in 2010 mail carriers collected 77.1 million pounds which brought the 19th annual event to a high of over $1 billion pounds of food donated to help families without adequate funds to purchase their own. Residents are asked to contribute non-perishable food items like canned meats and fish, canned soup, juice, pasta, vegetables, cereal and rice to the food drive.

Appeals court to convene in Pomeroy May 19 BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Three judges from the Fourth District Court of Appeals will convene in Pomeroy on May 19 to consider cases from Gallia and Meigs Counties, including oral arguments in Paula Rizer’s appeal of her murder conviction. Presiding Judge William Harsha of Chillicothe, and Judges Roger Kline, Circleville, and Peter Abele, Athens, will convene the court at the Common Pleas Court. The Fourth Appellate District is comprised See Rallying, A5 of four judges. Administrative Judge Matthew W. McFarland also serves on the court. It directly reviews all cases heard or tried in lower courts in which a decision is being appealed. The cases have already been tried in Common Pleas, Probate, Juvenile, Municipal and County Courts and may be either civil or criminal in nature. The district court serves 14 counties. In addition to Meigs and Gallia, those counties include Athens, Adams, Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Pickaway, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington. Paula Rizer, convicted last year of murdering her husband, has filed an appeal of the decision in her case, and her attorney, Melissa Prenderast of the Ohio Public Defender’s office and Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams will present oral arguments in the case. Rizer is imprisoned at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, Marysville, serving a sentence of 18 years to life as imposed by Judge Fred W. Crow III after her conviction. After several extensions granted by the court for the filing of briefs, the court scheduled the case for oral arguments this month. Rizer has also filed a motion for post-conviction relief and a new trial because of ineffective counsel. The motion is based on affidavits filed by her trial attorneys, in which they admit failing to object to the violation of Rizer’s Fifth Amendment rights by a state expert witness, Psychologist Robert Stinson, who called Rizer’s self-defense claim a “double defense.” That motion for a new trial is unrelated to Rizer’s appeal, which was filed shortly after her January, 2010 conviction. “Forever Diamonds and Ice” is the theme for the 2011 Meigs High School prom Submitted photo “Forever Diamonds and Ice” is the theme for the 2011 Meigs High School prom to be held Saturday night.

Dear Dr. Brothers: Everybody tells me I should be happy where I am. I was lucky enough to just get an interview for my university job, let alone the position itself. But after working here for three years, seeing people come and go, seeing some of them just stay there until they retire, I can’t help but wonder what the heck I’m even doing there. I know with the economy it seems rude to complain about having a job, but I’m getting really miserable. I feel so trapped — help! — S.S. Dear S.S.: Some people feel trapped by any kind of routine that is mandatory and upon which their livelihood depends. Because you need the money so desperately, you naturally place a great deal of emphasis on not rocking the boat, trying to like or love your job and not lose it. But if all this effort is being put into a job you don’t really like, just to make sure you can live day to day without financial problems, you could be fighting a losing battle. Keeping a career going today is a difficult undertaking — especially if you don’t really like what you are doing. A new study out of the Australian National University has confirmed that not just any job will do when it comes to being happy; in fact, people who went from the unemployment line to a less-than-satisfactory job were more likely to be depressed than those who had no place to work. So if the place where you are and it probably would be an interesting conversation if you asked her to sit down and explain it to you. At the same time, you might want to consider how you would feel if your positions were reversed: How would it feel to be asked to justify or defend your own way of life — whether it be sleeping till noon or doing the daily 9-to-5 grind? No one likes to feel that the way they spend their time is up for public criticism. Yet I can see how it must frustrate you to want better things for your friend, which seem to be within her grasp, yet unchosen. Being an artist is a lot different from most occupations. It’s not the same as working in the widget factory. No one labors to make widgets and then is too attached to them to offer them for sale. All artists struggle with the conflict between using their imagination and creativity to give birth to unique objects and letting it go up for sale, especially if they create one-of-a-kind objects. And imagine trying to put a price tag on your art. Your friend either will persist in the simple lifestyle she has chosen, or at some point will — perhaps out of necessity — begin to share her art with others. Perhaps you can start by asking to buy a piece of hers that you particularly like. If she agrees, that could open her eyes to the possibilities she’s been rejecting. Dr. Joyce Brothers working is not thrilling you, it would be a good use of your time to turn to a bit of self-analysis and see what factors enter into a happy environment for your career. The Internet is full of guidance, with quizzes and resources to help you identify what is important to you in a job. Armed with this knowledge, you’ll have the ability to try to reorient your current job into one that better suits you, or help you focus on the right things in a hunt for a new job. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: My friend is an artist who can hardly make ends meet. She fits the stereotype of living in a run-down building, wearing the same clothes she wore in high school. She doesn’t really have to live like this, as people are offering to buy her paintings all the time. She doesn’t want to sell anything, and it drives me crazy! How can I make her see that she’s sitting on a great revenue stream? I just don’t get it. — J.N. Dear J.N.: Your friend has her own reasons for maintaining the starving-artist lifestyle, (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate Past councilors meet CHESTER — Past Councilors’ Club of Chester Council 323, Daughters of America, met recently at the hall.

Drawing Saturday, May 7th *Visa/MC/Discover Accepted �OPINION Killing Osama: Raid poses narrative challenge for White House BY JIM KUHNHENN ASSOCIATED PRESS For President Barack Obama, the test now is in the telling. The White House has struggled to craft its account of the audacious raid that killed Osama bin Laden for both a jubilant American public and a skeptical Muslim world, correcting parts of its narrative, withholding others and, after internal debate, deciding not to release photos that could be considered too provocative. “We review this information and make these decisions with the same calculation as we do with so many things — what we’re trying to accomplish and does it serve or in any way harm our interests, not just domestically but globally,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said. The White House deliberations and disclosures illustrated the public relations challenge for the president, eager on the one hand to quickly capitalize on a remarkable military achievement while at the same time seeking a tone that did not gloat or incite the Muslim world. In that environment, Obama tried to portray an air of business as usual even as his administration exulted in the aftermath of the feat carried out by Navy SEALs. No doubt, the White House sought to carefully manage the story with presidential stagecraft. Obama emerged to make a dramatic statement announcing bin Laden’s death Sunday night. On Monday, the White House released a photograph portraying the president and his national security team watching intently at an unseen screen as the raid unfolded 7,000 miles away. And on Thursday, Obama plans to go to the World Trade Center site in New York City to remember victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack by bin Laden’s al-Qaida operatives. Obama clearly was benefiting from the attention. His job approval rating spiked to 57 percent in a New York Times-CBS News poll and 56 percent in a Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll. It recently had been below 50 percent. Yet, the White House found it had to backtrack and revise its own account of what happened in the raid. Administration officials said bin Laden was not armed after having said on Monday that he resisted and was killed in a firefight. They also backed away from earlier statements that bin Laden or his defenders used a woman as a human shield. President Barack Obama told CBS in an interview to be aired Sunday that he decided not to release photographs of bin Laden’s corpse, an image Carney described as “gruesome.” The decision had clearly been the subject of debate; CIA Director Leon Panetta had predicted Tuesday in an NBC interview that “ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public.” Central to the discussion were unfounded claims that bin Laden was still alive and administration officials were eager to tamp down any conspiracy theories. But releasing the photo had significant drawbacks and several lawmakers counseled against making the images public. “A graphic image such as that has the potential to inflame a community just out of its sheer shock value,” said John Ullyot, a former Republican Senate Armed Services Committee aide and Marine intelligence officer. “Even the release of a graphic photo might not close the book in some people’s minds.” Ari Fleischer, press secretary to President George W. Bush, cautioned against releasing explosive photographs. “This story already has an exclamation point on it,” he said. In addition to killing bin Laden, the Navy SEALs killed three other men in bin Laden’s compound. One woman was killed in what officials described as crossfire. Obama was publicly silent about the raid Tuesday, even in the presence of reporters and photographers at the start of an early afternoon Cabinet meeting. But top aides were on television providing accounts of the assault and most of the daily news briefing was dominated by the raid. Even as they offered new details or corrected old ones, the White House kept others to themselves. Officials were reluctant, for example, to publicly Page 4 Thursday, May 5, 2011 LETTERS High on patriotism discuss what Obama and his team were watching so intently in the photo they had promoted the day before. Fleischer said Obama also faces a challenge as he moves toward his reelection campaign. “That’s where these issues will start to ricochet,” Fleischer said, recalling the criticism lobbed at Bush when he mentioned the 9/11 attacks during his 2004 campaign. “A lot of it is unwarranted; presidents should talk about accomplishments.” The success of the raid also raised difficult questions for the administration about whether the use of waterboarding or other harsh interrogation techniques under the Bush administration had elicited some of the intelligence that led to bin Laden’s lair. Obama has been a staunch critic of those methods. “It simply strains credulity to suggest that a piece of information that may or may not have been gathered eight years ago somehow directly led to a successful mission on Sunday,” Carney said. “That’s just not the case.” In his interview with NBC, Panetta was not as adamant. “They used these enhanced interrogation techniques against some of these detainees,” he said. “But I’m also saying that, you know, the debate about whether we would have gotten the same information through other approaches I think is always going to be an open question.” As discussions and raid details swirled throughout the administration, Obama himself sought to convey a return to normal Tuesday. He held a Rose Garden event to salute exceptional teachers and met with Hispanic members of Congress to discuss changes in immigration law. While Obama travels to New York on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden plans to convene a meeting with congressional negotiators to discuss longterm spending proposals. And on Friday, Obama once again will confront the economic realities that have dogged his presidency when the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases April unemployment figures. “This train never stops,” Carney said. May is Older Americans Month BY GREG GREEN AREA AGENCY ON AGING 8 REGIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL PRESIDENT May is Older Americans Month — a tradition dating back to 1963 to honor the legacies and ongoing contributions of older Americans and support them as they enter the next stage in life. The Area Agency on Aging 8, its eight County Councils on Aging and its providers are joining communities nationwide in celebrating this month with special activities and events. This year’s Older Americans Month theme — Older Ohioans Connecting Communities — is a celebration of the contributions our older citizens have made to society, and is a chance for communities to give back and recognize the accomplishments of their elders. It also is a time to promote aging actively and encourage everyone, regardless of age, to live life to the fullest. Older Americans are living longer and are more active than ever before. And with the aging of the baby boomer generation — the largest in our nation’s history — America’s senior population is expected to number 71.5 million by 2030. While keeping the growing population of older Americans healthy and active will increase the demand for senior services, what is remarkable is the extent to which older Americans themselves are supporting each other. As the new generations of seniors become better educated and more financially secure than their predecessors, they are spending more time making significant contributions in their communities through civic and volunteer opportunities. In fact, older Americans are a core component of service delivery to seniors — embodying and modeling the theme Connecting Communities. They volunteer at group meal sites and deliver food to homebound seniors; The Daily Sentinel Reader Services (USPS 213-960) Correction Policy Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Dear Editor: Do you know that the American Legion, Ladies Auxiliary, Sons of the Legion and Junior Auxiliary provide Christmas gifts to veterans in our local nursing homes and VA Hospital in Chillicothe? Do you know that we also adopt families at Christmas? Do you know that we are involved with the Buckeye Girls State and Buckeye Boys State? Do you know that we give scholarships to local students? Do you know that we sponsor a senior and junior baseball team that play at Rio Grande? Do you know that we are obligated to donate to a number of charities in order to keep our charter? Do you know we have several events per year for your children? All children, not just kids of vets. Do you know that when you see an event in the paper or on Facebook or on a flyer that you are allowed to attend, even if you are not a member? (like dinners, etc.) Do you know that you can join the American Legion under your father, mother or grandparents? The Auxiliary can join under brothers ... that we have an Auxiliary and Sons of the American Legion and Junior Auxiliary? And they also do things for the veterans and the community? We are not just a “bar.” We actually are obligated to help our veterans and our community! Do you know that our hall and kitchen is available to rent for your functions? Do you know that the money we earn from renting the hall helps us have the money we need to meet our obligations? Did you know that we help our veterans that need help financially? We also have an Auxiliary Emergency Fund to help our ladies. These are just a very few things that the American Legion, Ladies Auxiliary, Junior Auxiliary and Sons of the Legion do to help out our local veterans. Maybe you need to check us out. We would love to have you and your help. Vickie Kemper Auxiliary member Lafayette Unit 27, Post 27 Gallipolis, OH ‘Heartwarming’ news from White House Dear Editor: I heard a heartwarming “deficit reduction” speech the other day from the White House. I found it quite interesting in that a mixture of a tax increase and a reduction in spending, to balance the Federal budget. A tax increase is not quite accurate. We already have had an increase in taxes for everybody. Let me explain. According to the IRS Publication 15 (Circular E) Employers Tax Guide For use in 2011; a married person making $1,150 a week ($59,000 per year), with zero deductions will pay $134 a week in federal taxes. Last year (2010), $1,150 weekly tax was $123 a week or 9 percent less. This is a tax increase for the year 2011. So, I take it to mean the president wants another or a second tax increase, not a (singular) tax increase. Why is it so hard for the white house to accurately state the facts in speeches and news releases? I find it hard anymore to believe anything from the white house. Citizens be warned, your taxes have increased 9 percent this year, so do not be caught with too few deductions in your withholding. Next year may be a painful experience with your tax preparer.

Scott Powell said in his eight years on the bench, the caseload for children’s services has tripled and he guessed four out of every five cases he hears is drug-related. The problem of prescription drug abuse has become so pervasive because, according to many in law enforcement, the pills are so readily available. Locally, Oxycontin is said to remain the pill of choice of many abusers though other pain killers, (whatever is available) remain popular. In short, marijuana no longer seems to be the drug of choice — it’s pain pills. The Ohio Department of Health reported 327 accidental drug overdoses in Ohio in 1999 and 1,473 accidental drug overdoses in 2008. In fact, accidental drug overdoses in Ohio are now the leading cause of injury or death, surpassing motor vehicle accidents.

THURSDAY TELEVISION GUIDE �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Page 8 Thursday, May 5, 2011 Steelers RB Mendenhall writes clarification on Twitter comments PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall wrote a “clarification” of his comments made Monday on Twitter regarding the death of Osama bin Laden. In a tweet posted around 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, he linked to an indepth blog post. In that entry, he wrote that he does not support bin Laden, and that he aimed clear things up, for not only himself, but also the Steelers. On Monday, Pittsburgh’s leading rusher caused enough of a stir with his tweets, that the Steelers felt compelled to release a statement. Among Mendenhall’s posts, the day after the bin Laden news broke, was: “What kind of person celebrates death? It’s amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak. We’ve only heard one side...” He also tweeted on the Sept. 11 attacks: “We’ll never know what really happened. I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.” Wednesday’s offering, though, was a different story. “I appreciate those of you who have decided to read this letter and attain a greater understanding of my recent Twitter posts. I see how they have gotten misconstrued, and wanted to use this outlet as a way to clear up all situation. “Nothing I said was meant to stir up controversy. It was my way to generate conversation. In looking at my timeline in its entirety, everything that I’ve said is with the intent of expressing a wide array of ideas and generating open and honest discussions, something I believe we as American citizens should be able to do. Most opinions will not be fully agreed upon and are not meant to be. However, I believe every opinion should be respected or at least given some thought. I apologize for the timing as such a sensitive matter, but it was not meant to do harm. I apologize to anyone I unintentionally harmed with anything that I said, or any hurtful interpretation that was made and put in my name.” On Tuesday, as Mendenhall’s offerings became a national story, team president Art Rooney II made sure the Steelers were heard from. “I have not spoken with Rashard, so it is hard to explain or even comprehend what he meant with his recent Twitter comments,” he wrote in a statement. “The entire Steelers organization is very proud of the job our military personnel have done and we can only hope this leads to our troops coming home soon.” Mendenhall, who profiles himself as things that do not truthfully represent myself, what I stand for personally, and any organization that I am a part of. “First, I want people to understand that I am not in support of Bin Laden, or against the USA. I understand how devastating 9/11 was to this country and to the people whose families were affected. Not just in the U.S., but families all over the world who had relatives in the World Trade Centers. My heart goes out to the troops who fight for our freedoms everyday, not being certain if they will have the opportunity to return home, and the families who watch their loved ones bravely go off to war. Last year, I was grateful enough to have the opportunity to travel overseas and participate in a football camp put on for the children of U.S. troops stationed in Germany. It was a special experience. These events have had a significant impact in my life.” Mendenhall also specifically pointed out the “celebrates death” tweet. “This controversial statement was something I said in response to the amount of joy I saw in the event of a murder. I don’t believe that this is an issue of politics or American pride; but one of religion, morality, and human ethics.” He also tried to bring closure to the a “conversationalist and professional athlete” on his Twitter page, turned some heads in March, as well, when he supported a comment by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson comparing the NFL to “modern-day slavery.” “Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel eachother,” Mendenhall posted at the time. Mendenhall is coming off a tremendous season, as he led the AFC champions in carries (324), rushing yards (1,273) and rushing touchdowns (13). He has 2,439 yards in three seasons since being drafted in the 2008 first round out of Illinois. In the 2010 postseason, Mendenhall ran for 230 yards on 61 carries in three games with four touchdowns, as Pittsburgh defeated the Baltimore Ravens (31-24) and New York Jets (24-19), before falling to the Green Bay Packers 31-25 in the Super Bowl. As a result of the controversy, Mendenhall saw a spike in his followers on Twitter. On Tuesday afternoon, he had 13,631. On Wednesday afternoon, he had 36,914. He personally follows 67 on Twitter. Included in the group he’s following is the Dalai Lama, comedian Sarah Silverman and the Park Community Church in Chicago.

Then came the down time, elbow surgery, a missed season and a struggle to regain his form and his confidence. A year ago he appeared to have found his way back, winning 14 games and the AL Comeback Player award. But when 2011 started, he was having problems again with control and was 1-4 with a 9.13 ERA. His spot in the rotation was in jeopardy. Then the left-hander took the mound on a cold Tuesday night against the Chicago White Sox and pitched the game of his life, a no-hitter. Now the question: Can he carry that type of effective pitching into the rest of the season? “You know what? It’s just been a struggle and obviously in the game when you struggle, you put a lot of pressure on yourself,” Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson said Wednesday. “He’s been doing that, out in games, overthrowing and trying to do a little much to get it going. Last night by no means did he have his greatest stuff, but I think he had great results with it and with that hopefully will build some confidence with him.” Liriano walked six and got some strong defense behind him, including one nice play by third baseman Danny Valencia, who went into foul territory in the seventh to grab Carlos Quentin’s hard hopper and throw him out. Denard Span made a nice running catch of Quentin’s drive to left center in the fourth. And then in the ninth, with the tension building, first baseman Justin Morneau made a beautiful scoop of a low throw from shortstop Matt Tolbert to retire Brent Morel. Tolbert then snagged Adam Dunn’s liner to end the game. Liriano showed up at U.S. Cellular Field on Wednesday morning, a little more than 12 hours after completing his 2hour, 9-minute masterpiece — the first complete game and shutout of his pro career that began back in 2001. He was weary. And he was the talk of the Dominican Republic. “Yeah, I got like 55 text messages and a lot of phone calls from family back home. They were pretty happy back home,” Liriano said. “My brothers and sisters and all my friends and cousins. They called until about four in the morning. “I didn’t sleep at all. Too many phone calls,” he said. “Thinking a lot of stuff, you know. How the game went and everything. Thinking about a lot of stuff.” Liriano was acquired in a 2003 trade with the San Francisco Giants that also brought Joe Nathan to Minnesota in exchange for A.J. Pierzynski, now the White Sox catcher. He burst onto the scene in 2006, going 123 with a 2.16 ERA and dominating overmatched hitters with an untouchable slider. But the violent delivery caused him to develop arm problems toward the end of the season and resulted in Tommy John surgery that November. His road back has been long and difficult. Liriano missed all of 2007, spent a good portion of the following season in the minors and then struggled to regain his form over the next two years, leading some to wonder if the power lefty would ever make it all the way back. He went just 5-13 with a 5.80 ERA in 2009. Liriano started last season as the Twins’ fifth starter, but a strong season of winter ball in the Dominican Republic buoyed his confidence, and he steadily worked his way to the top of the rotation as the season wore on. He won 14 games and fanned 201 batters, fifth best in the American League, while pitching a careerhigh 191 2-3 innings. The Twins did not pursue any frontline starters over the offseason, hoping that Liriano could finally be the stopper they have lacked since trading Johan Santana to the New York Mets. Liriano irked manager Ron Gardenhire and Anderson in February when he showed up to spring training a little out of shape — and told the Twins brass he had not been doing the exercises they instructed him to do to keep his arm strong through the winter. He was limited in spring because of the soreness as he worked his way back into shape, and then got off to a terrible start in 2011. Now, all is forgiven. “It was a big pick-usup that everyone gets to enjoy in this clubhouse. I’m really happy for the young man,” Gardenhire said. “He’s worked so hard and takes the game so personal. He feels terrible when he doesn’t get the job done out there on the mound, so it’s good to see him with a big smile on his face and the guys slapping him on the back and beating him around after a win. It’s exciting for us all, we needed a win,” Gardenhire said. “We’d lost six in a row. To get a no-hitter on top is a big bonus.” Gardenhire isn’t sure when Liriano will make his next start. It could come Monday at Fenway Park or Tuesday before the home crowd at Target Field against Detroit. Liriano threw 123 pitches and only 66 of them for strikes Thursday night “I’m not that sore today. If they give me the extra day that will be fine for me,” Liriano said. “I was getting a little tired but not that bad.” Anderson said his job had been to keep Liriano upbeat during his poor start. Now he wants to make sure his lefty stays on an even keel, moving ahead without changing what he accomplished Tuesday night. Cutting down on the walks will be one point of emphasis — he has 24 in 32 23 innings. “The pitching coach’s job is not just mechanics and game plans and what nots,” Anderson said. “It’s to keep your mental part of it. My biggest things with him was trying to keep him confident. Now probably my biggest things is to keep him right where he should be.” SPORTS Page 9 Thursday, May 5, 2011 Big Blacks crush Scott, 21-4 BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The streak continues. The Point Pleasant baseball team improved to 19-4 on Monday evening with a 21-4 victory over Scott. The win was the ninth straight for Point Pleasant, who swept Sissonville on Friday. Point Pleasant scored 10 runs in the first, including a grand slam by Titus Russell in his first game back from Cavender T. Russell injury. Point added two in the second, eight in the third and one more in the fourth for the 15 run victory. Scott scored one run in the first and three in the fourth. Alex Somerville earned the win for the Big Blacks, pitching four innings. Anthony Linger pitched the fifth in relief of Somerville. Sigman took the loss for Scott. Point Pleasant walked 13 times in the game — seven in the first inning. Titus Russell, Eric Roberts and Jason Stouffer each had two hits for the Big Blacks, while Brandon Toler, Kodi Stranahan, Justin Cavender and Evan Potter each had one hit. Point Pleasant’s wins over Sissonville on Friday came by scores of 24-11 and 7-3. The first game was a continuation of the first meeting between the two teams which was suspended earlier in the season. Justin Cavender hit a homerun in each game of the doubleheader.

It’s official: Bulls G Derrick Rose is NBA MVP LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. (AP) — Right from the start, Derrick Rose wondered why he couldn’t be the MVP. It turns out, nothing could stop him. Rose officially became the NBA’s youngest MVP on Tuesday and joined Michael Jordan as the only Bulls player to win the award, which was no surprise given his spectacular season and Chicago’s leap to a league-leading 62 wins. He has a ways to go before he catches Jordan, who won five MVPs and led the way to two championship three-peats, but he sure is off to a good start. “I’m not even touching that man right there,” Rose said. “I’m far away from him. If anything, it would be great to be close to him. This is a different team, a different era.” In his third year, the dynamic point guard led the Bulls to their best season since the championship era. The 22-year-old Rose got 1,182 points and 113 first-place votes from a panel of media voters, supplanting Wes Unseld as the youngest to win the award with a runaway win. Orlando’s Dwight Howard (643 points) finished second, Miami’s LeBron James was third, the Lakers’ Kobe Bryant was fourth and Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant finished fifth. A product of Chicago’s South Side, Rose established himself as one of the top players in the league after going from Rookie of the Year to All-Star in his first two seasons. He took another step this year with one of the best all-around performances by a point guard. He averaged 25 points and 7.7 assists while leading Chicago into contention for its first championship since the Jordan-Scottie Pippen era. For all the groaning over the Bulls missing out on James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in free agency, they did quite well for themselves anyway. Rose showed up to training camp openly wondering why he couldn’t be MVP. Then, he backed it up. “It really just came out,” Rose said. “That’s the way I thought at the time. I put a lot of hard work into my game, especially during the summer. ... I dedicated my whole summer to basketball. Even though it was tough, I did it.” Rose was a picture of humility during the news conference. He thanked everyone from the fans to his teammates, coaches and management, and he AP Photo/Frank Franklin II Chicago Bulls' Derrick Rose goes in for a dunk during the second half of the Bulls' NBA basketball game against the New York Knicks Tuesday, in New York. Rose scored 26 points as the Bulls won 103-90. choked up when he mentioned his mom, Brenda Rose, and older brothers seated in the front row. At one point, he looked at her and paused. “Just thinking how hard she works,” he said. “Those are hard days. My days shouldn’t be hard because I love what I’m doing. That’s playing basketball. You keep me going every day and I love you.” Rose ranked seventh in scoring and 10th in assists, making him the only player this season in the top 10 in both categories. The only other Bull to do so was Jordan in 1988-89, when he led the league in scoring (32.5 points) and finished 10th in assists, according to information provided to the team by the Elias Sports Bureau. Throw in a 4.1 rebounding average, and Rose joins another elite group. He’s the seventh player in league history to average at least 25 points, 7.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds, along with Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Larry Bird, Wade and James, according to Elias. “We all knew how good he could be,” vet- eran forward Luol Deng said. “It’s a big surprise for all of us how quick he got there. We knew he was going to get there; we said that from the start. He’s just a hard worker, a humble kid. He’s really out there just to win games.” In the postseason, he’s been just as impressive. He scored 39 and 36 points in the first two playoff games against Indiana. Then he shook off two sub-par performances and a sprained left ankle to score 25 points in Game 5 as the top-seeded Bulls closed out what had been a tight first-round series with a 116-89 victory. They stumbled in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against Atlanta, losing 103-95. Rose scored 24 points, but he hit just 11 of 27 shots and did not attempt a free throw. He also limped off the court after twisting his left ankle, but expects to be ready for Game 2 on Wednesday. It’s been a rapid, steady climb for a player who came into the league with soaring expectations. He helped Simeon Career Academy become the first Chicago Public League team to win back-to-back state championships, then led Memphis to the NCAA championship game before the Bulls drafted him with the No. 1 pick in 2008 after defying 1.7-percent odds to win the lottery. “I’ll never forget the morning after we got that pick where we got the entire management staff together to meet,” general manager Gar Forman said. They knew then who they were picking. And when they started talking to him, Forman said, “It was obvious to us that not only was Derrick a very special talent, but he possessed the intangibles that you need to become a very special player in this league. Going into that draft, I remember our feeling was this is too good to be true.” Now? “Our feeling is still this is really too good to be true,” Forman said. Rose has added new touches to his game every season, expanding the range on his jumper to go with those explosive drives to the basket. “He’s been everything you could ask for,” coach Tom Thibodeau said. “He’s been a leader, a player. He’s only going to get better.” Keeping Meigs County informed Subscribe today • 992-2155 �SPORTS The Daily Sentinel Golden Eagles rally past Eastern, 8-7 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM BELPRE, Ohio — The Eastern baseball team battled into e x t r a innings with Belpre on Monday night, but the host Golden E a g l e s came up with some Hendrix late-game heroics en route to an 8-7 TriVa l l e y Conference Hocking Division victory at Civitan Park in Wa s h i n g R. Shook ton County. The visiting Eagles (6-8, 4-7 TVC Hocking) never led in the contest and dropped their third consecutive league contest, while BHS (14-2, 12-2) remained two games behind league-leading Wahama (18-2, 10-0) and in sole possession of second place. Belpre also claimed a season sweep of EHS after posting a 7-3 victory in Tuppers Plains back on April 11. The Golden Eagles led 4-0 after an inning of play, then both teams went scoreless over the next three frames for a 4-0 contest through four complete. After a two-out walk to Jacob Parker in the top of the fifth, the Eagles responded with three consecutive hits to pull within 4-3. Luke Kimes and Tyler Hendrix had back-to-back singles, followed by a twoRBI double from Chris Amsbary for a one-run deficit. Belpre, however, countered with two runs in its half of the fifth, making it a 6-3 contest through five full frames. Eastern netted three walks, a hit and a hit batter in the top of the sixth, which yielded three runs and a 6-all tie — but BHS responded with a run in its half of the sixth for a 7-6 edge. David Warner led off the seventh with a walk, then Greg Barringer came in as a pinch runner. Ryan Shook delivered a two-out RBI single that plated Barringer — tying the game at seven through seven full frames. Eastern left runners at first and second base with one out in the top of the eighth, but the Golden Eagles took full advantage of their fortunes in the bottom half of that inning. Erik Waderker and Wes Hatfield led off the frame with consecutive walks, then Tyler Watkins delivered his fourth single of the night — which plated Waderker for an 8-7 win in extra-innings. Watkins picked up the win for Belpre, allowing seven runs, seven hits and eight walks over eight innings while fanning seven. Joey Scowden took the loss for Eastern after facing just three batters in the eighth inning. Ryan Shook started for EHS and lasted an inning, allowing four runs and four hits while recording a strikeout. Max Carnhan pitched six innings of relief, allowing three runs, seven hits and three walks while striking out three. Eastern committed the only two errors of the contest. Hendrix and Shook led the guests with two hits each, followed by one apiece from Amsbary, Kimes and John Tenoglia.

Page 10 Thursday, May 5, 2011 Lady Knights blank Ravenswood, 10-0 BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM R AV E N S W O O D , W.Va. — The Point Pleasant softball team moved one game closer to its sixth consecutive sectional title Monday night during a 10-0 victory over host Ravenswood in a Class AA Region 1, Section 4 tournament matchup in Jackson County. The visiting Lady Knights (13-10) — who have won the Region 1, Section 4 crown every year since 2006 — took a 1-0 lead in the best-ofthree series after scoring the mercy-rule decision over the Red Devilettes in five innings. Riffle Fisher PPHS starter Kaci Riffle limited the hosts to just four hits over five innings of work while fanning six, and the Lady Knights pounded out nine hits in getting Riffle plenty of run support to pick up the Game 1 decision. The contest was scoreless after two innings of play, but the Lady Knights struck first blood in the third after plating three runs for a 3-0 edge through three complete. Both teams went scoreless in the fourth, but a seven-run outburst in the top of the fifth allowed Point Pleasant to reach double digits for a 10-0 cushion. Riffle retired the RHS side in order during the bottom of the fifth, which wrapped up the 10-run outcome. Ravenswood starter Kaley Casto took the loss after allowing nine hits in five innings. Neither team committed an error in the contest. RHS last won the Region 1, Section 4 title in 2005, which was the last time that Point Pleasant didn’t win the sectional crown. Riffle and Brooke Fisher led PPHS with two hits apiece, followed by Reagan Cottrill, A.J. Adkins, Kaitlin Liptrap, Sarah Hussell and Megan Davis with one safety each. Riffle and Fisher both drove in two runs in the triumph. Kaley Casto led the hosts with two hits.

The Reds won 3-2. Reds rally in ninth for 3-2 win over Astros CINCINNATI (AP) — All the Reds had to show for a long, cold afternoon was one hit heading into their final at-bat. Five batters later, they were celebrating on the infield. Jay Bruce pulled a double just inside first base, completing Cincinnati’s three-run rally off closer Brandon Lyon in the ninth inning Wednesday for a 3-2 victory over the Houston Astros that left everyone stunned. “It’s hard to believe we had one hit and came back to win,” said Chris Heisey, whose triple was the sum total of Cincinnati’s offense until the final inning. Lyon (3-2) came on to try to finish off the onehitter, but failed to retire any of the five batters he faced while blowing a save for the fourth time in eight chances. It started badly — he walked Drew Stubbs on four pitches. Then, it got worse with each batter. Heisey and Joey Votto singled to bring Stubbs home, and Brandon Phillips tied it with another single to the opposite field. Bruce then pulled a pitch down the line for Cincinnati’s third game-ending hit of the season. “It was like we were sleeping, then we woke up,” Bruce said. “We tend to do that. Anytime they walk the leadoff guy, you know you have the opportunity to score some runs. We have a knack for doing that. It shows our resiliency.” The Reds’ 10-4 loss on Tuesday night dropped them below .500 for the first time in nearly a year. The comeback prevented them from reaching new depths. “That’s the kind of team we have,” manager Dusty Baker said. “If you go home, you might miss the ballgame. Sometimes, you have games that you can’t believe you won, just like sometimes you have games you can’t believe you lost.” Francisco Cordero (20) pitched the ninth for the win. Lyon’s meltdown spoiled an impressive starting debut by rookie Aneury Rodriguez, who allowed only one hit and one walk over five innings. Four relievers held the Reds without another hit until Lyon got into the game. He wasn’t available for interviews afterward. “We’ve got confidence in our bullpen, even with Brandon,” catcher J.R. Towles said. “It wasn’t like they were squaring balls up. He’s having some bad luck now.” The 12,340 fans bundled in blankets, trying to stay warm on a cloudy, 44-degree afternoon. It was Rodriguez’s day until the Reds’ last at-bat. The pitcher, claimed from Tampa Bay in the Rule 5 draft, started games in the Dominican League over the winter but won a spot on the Astros’ staff as a reliever. He made his first nine appearances out of the bullpen, never going more then two innings or 36 pitches. Manager Brad Mills moved struggling Nelson Figueroa to the bullpen last week and promoted Rodriguez to the rotation. His starting debut exceeded expectations. Rodriguez allowed only Valaika’s triple in the third that eluded Hunter Pence on the warning track in right field. Rodriguez struck out three and threw 49 of 83 pitches for strikes. The Astros played their second game without left fielder Carlos Lee, sidelined by bruised ribs from a collision with a teammate. Jason Bourgeois was a perfect fill-in again, driving home a run with a single off Travis Wood. Bourgeois has started the last four games, going 9 for 17 with three doubles and four steals. Houston’s Brett Wallace went 0 for 4, ending his career-best hitting streak at 11 games.
