This year’s run, billed as the 25th anniversary, will take place on Sunday, May 29 on the Pomeroy parking lot. Bikes begin gathering on the parking lot around noon and depart at 1 p.m. Admission is free to go on the run though to enter the party at the end of the run the cost is $10 each or $15 per couple. Prior to the run, wrist bands for the party will be sold as will commemorative Tshirts. All proceeds go to benefit the bikers’ annual toy giveaway for less fortunate children in Meigs County at Christmas. This year’s run is tak- See Bike Run, A6 vived, are not forgotten. To perpetuate their memory, legionnaires for years have traveled from cemetery to cemetery in Meigs County marking each grave of a serviceman with a small flag. They will return to those same cemeteries Monday to give salutes of honor to veterans of all wars. On the Pomeroy parking lot at 11 a.m. Monday there will be the tradition- al celebration of Memorial Day with a remembrance service conducted by Drew Webster Post 39 American Legion members. Commander Tom Anderson invites the public to join in the program paying tribute to those who gave their all for freedom. The program by Post 39 veterans will include a flag raising and welcome, band selections by the Southern High School Band, remarks by legionnaires on the significance of the day, and a rifle salute by the Post’s honor guard as a wreath in remembrance of those lost at sea is placed on the Ohio River. The day for Post 39 legionnaires will begin with Memorial Day tributes to veterans of all wars mental issues and the administration of funds, according to Brenna Slavens, spokesperson for ODOT District 10. Slavens said ODOT would not be overseeing any construction and is involved in the administration of funds because the money is derived from federal-state sources specifically, from the Appalachian Regional Commission. The road is being built on property owned by the Community Improvement Corporation which is investing $100,000 into the road’s construction. This $100,000 provides matching funds for a $250,000 ARC grant received by the CIC. The Village of Pomeroy will own the road once construction is complete. The road will run alongside and behind Taco Bell. Engineering has been done by the CIC via Triad Deadline nears for formula grant program applications BY BRIAN J.

ATTEND CHURCH �Page A4 FAITH • VALUES A Hunger For More Freedom, the Most Costly Gift of All BY CARRIE WOLFE This is Memorial Day weekend! We did it. We managed to survive another school year. School is out. Alumni are gathering. Picnic supplies are being purchased. Grills are cleaned. Shorts and flipflops have been out for awhile, but are now staple attire. Swim suits are being sized up and the London Pool is opening. All of that summed up equals summer. It also has absolutely nothing to do with Memorial Day. Memorial Day was started shortly after the American Civil War. The price to hold the Union together was great. Greater than we can even fathom. Battles were up close, bloody and horrible. At the battles of Shiloh, Stone's River, Second Manassas, the Wilderness, Antietam, and Spotsylvania, all had casualties of 20,000 and well over. The battles of Chancellorsville and Chickauga both had more than 30,000 casualties. The bloodiest battle of the Civil War was Gettysburg. Gettysburg changed the course of the war. It changed our country. The casualties for the Union were 23,049 and 28,063 for a combined loss of 51,112 for three days of battling. The total for the war it is estimated 620,000. Everyone knew someone who died in war. They took their unimaginable grief and began focusing on one day to decorate the graves and remember the cost. It became known as Memorial Day. Since then our country has battled on foreign soil to secure our sovereignty and our freedom. Through many conflicts, the American soldier has battled on land, air and sea. Thousands and thousands of lives have been given for us to be free right now this very minute. This column would be illegal in many countries of this world, but I am free to write because of the sacrifice of men and women I will never meet because we share one amazing and incredible thing in common: WE ARE AMERICANS! In recent years there has been a shifting. I do not know when it began, all I know are the effects. Somewhere along the lines our American soldier was reduced to a video game. Our youth does not understand the cost of their freedom. They do not understand the price, the sacrifice being made on their behalf. Even people my age have forgotten. They do not know. They do not understand. That in itself is a hideous tragedy, but it gets worse. “Getter love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends,” the words of Jesus in John 15:13. If we do not understand the principle of the sacrifice of a soldier for us, then how can we hope to understand what Jesus did for us? We cannot assume that people believe and understand the same view points we do. We must remember this as we share the faith. Jesus lived. He suffered. He died on a cross for all people. He bore our sin. Our sin. My sin. Your sin. He took it all. He paid with His life for you and me. If we cannot appreciate the tangible loss of a soldier, how can we hope to grasp the concept of a man dying on a cross 2,000 years ago for us? Remember that as you speak to people and share the faith. Remember we must “Love, Love. Listen, Listen” in all we do. This weekend remember the sacrifice of all those who won't be coming home. Pray for their families. My personal prayer each day for our soldiers is their safety, victory, and if this be the day they are called into eternity, that they not be alone, but held in the arms of Jesus and ministered to by Him in their spirit. I also think of the, lost, the hardened heart that they may understand and receive the sacrifice given on a hill far away nailed to a tree. (Carrie Wolfe is the senior pastor of Beacon Ministries in Syracuse, Ohio.) In 1995 my family and I were driving in southern West Virginia near the college campus on which I was working at the time. As we turned with the road in one of its many curves, my wife suddenly grabbed my arm and exclaimed, “Did you see that buffalo?” “No,” I replied. “I didn’t see any buffalo. Are you sure you saw a buffalo? There aren’t any buffalo around here.” And while I waxed eloquently on and on about buffalo not being native to the area, she just sat quietly and looked ahead, smiling. The road curved back again and we suddenly came upon a huge wooden gate on the left side of the road with a big sign above it that read, “Grandfather’s Hill. Horseback riding and petting zoo. Come and see our friendly bears and buffalo.” *Grandfather’s Hill is not its real name. They should have mentioned crow, too, since that was what I would now have to eat. Anyway, on impulse I pulled our car into their parking lot and we got out. We walked along a row of small wooden buildings, each with a fenced area beside it. Large black bears lay sunning themselves lazily in the afternoon heat. One especially large bear named Jake was sitting upright, watching the crowd intently as if he was as curious about us as we were about him. Every once in awhile, he’d reach out and lay his paws against the fencing and push. The posts would shake when he threw his weight against them, but they seemed secure. We wandered off towards the buffalo pastures and watched them graze for a little while. Then we went to the main building which also housed a gift shop. While my wife and son looked around, I was irresistibly drawn to a large cage that stood in an open area towards the back. Inside the cage was a small black bear, probably in its adolescence. It sat on its rear haunches looking forlorn and I found myself feeling sorry for it. “Oh, it’s lonely,” I thought as I approached it. “How ya doin’, buddy?” I said gently to it as I came towards it. “Are you feeling forgot- ten? Are you lonely?” I asked as I began to reach out to pat its leg which was just inside the bar of the cage. When my hand was inches from the bars, the bear shot its two front paws out like lightening between the bars and smacked my hands hard between them! I was extremely startled and jerked my hand backward out of its reach, smarting from its unexpected assault. “Oka-a-y!” I thought. “That was interesting. But maybe it didn’t mean to hurt me. I must have surprised it. Besides, surely the people here wouldn’t have an animal sitting here in the middle of their gift store if it was aggressive.” Famous last words. In my own defense, I was younger then and a bit more naïve than I am now. I moved slowly towards it again, this time a wee bit more cautious. “It’s okay, fella,” I said soothingly. “I’m not going to hurt you.” As I watched for any sign of sudden movement, I reached out again. I thought that if it knew I didn’t mean it any harm, it would let me touch it. My hand got as far as it had before and I held it there, waiting to see if the animal would react. It sat quietly and just looked at me as if it didn’t mind in the least that I was invading its space. Feeling encouraged, my hand started to reach through the bars and I almost touched its leg. As quick as a snake, it lunged forward and reached both its paws through the bars, slamming them together hard around my forearm. Higher up my arm and with better aim than before, its paws grasped at me even as I pulled back away from it, its claws raking long lines of skin from my forearm. Well, enough is enough, even for me. I quickly joined my wife and young son and said simply that we needed to stay away from the bear on the other side of the room. I mentioned my little misadventure to the owner/manager before we left (noting that the animal could be very dangerous especially to children who might wander into its reach) and we then left, Thom Mollohan with me on a quest for the antiseptic in the first aid kit that we keep in our vehicle. As foolhardy as approaching the bear may have been, Christians frequently do the same thing on a spiritual level. We flirt with things that we know are spiritually dangerous and potentially corrupting. We reach out thinking foolishly that such things are not really so dangerous (whether the things we watch, the things we indulge in, or the kinds of attitudes we permit ourselves), but find out sooner or later that some things really are beset with pain and sorrow, best when left alone. The good news is that God has truly caged our spiritual enemy and limited its ability to daunt and control us. It is caged and we are free. “… There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so He condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit” (Romans 8:1-4 NIV). One of the great truths of God is that His love and power are relevant to every day life. It is His love that moved His God-sized heart to bear the Cross in our place. It is His power that binds the universal law of sin (which is that sin in all men and women will be judged) to its being satisfied by the laying down of His sinless life for our Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

By the power of His love He secures for us through faith in Christ a beautiful certainty that we are forgiven and set free from its power. Not only that, but His power also works to tame the “wild beast” within each of us even though our selfishness sometimes shows its fangs and clicks its claws when it gets an opportunity. Let us be careful then to not “wander” into the reach of our less-than-heavenly impulses. Let us steer clear of actions, words, and attitudes within ourselves that will cage our spiritual fruitfulness and chain our joy and peace as God’s children. Let us take care that we avoid such snares and pitfalls that, although they cannot shake us loose from God’s grace, can injure our fruitfulness as messengers of the hope of the Gospel and even rend and tear the fragile faith of others. “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry…. Rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator…. As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (Colossians 3:5, 814 NIV).

Cadet Brenton Clark, a Wahama High School graduate, was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant along with 1,030 other young men and women who have committed them selves to military service on behalf of our country. I am thankful to God for Brenton, the other cadets, and all other military personnel in all branches of service who have such powerful motivation of heart and soul to contribute talents, mind, and body to the on-going protection of our nation. Every time I hear our national anthem played, it is my practice to pray that the Lord will bless each of them richly and keep each of them safe. Yet, as I strive to be prayerfully mindful of those who serve in the various capacities of our military, I know that I fail to understand just how rigorous and how often dangerous is their personal commitment. As a matter of fact, such was one of the main speaking points offered by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen, during his commencement address to the West Point graduates, and family and friends in attendance. Admiral Mullen stated that he feared that the people of America “do not know us. I fear they do not comprehend the full weight of the burden we carry or the price we pay when we return from battle.” While it is true I may not know exactly the full weight or full price they bear, there are some matters which I — which we all — should keep in mind what they do on Ron Branch our national behalf. The Scripture gives us some clues. Part of their burden involves important segments of personal life they give up. For example, the first order of the law of warfare God gave Israel stipulated that individuals should not go to battle who have a newly built undedicated house, or individuals who have not had opportunity to eat from their newly planted vineyard, or individuals who are engaged to be married. In other words, battle warriors were those who postponed personal acquisitions or fulfillments. For the most part, our military people are sacrificers who have chosen to give up the usual opportunities of personal fulfillment in life to participate in training and actions that keep our nation strong and safe. We should keep that in mind. Furthermore, God’s law of warfare stipulated that only the courageous commit themselves to military service. Courage carries no uncertain burden. Courage at times exacts extreme personal price. Admiral Mullen pointed out that many of the cadets “will eventually deploy to Afghanistan or other conflict zones”….because, he stated, “they have chosen military careers during a perilous period.” Mullen went on to name several cadets who in recent years have been killed in military action. We need to keep in mind the courage of those who step forward to serve. Without their courage, enemies would not be eradicated or kept in check. Battles would be fought on our soil instead of that of the enemy. Freedom would not prevail anywhere in the world. Their burden of courage makes the possibility likely that my grandchildren will be able to live out their lives militarily shielded from evil-inspired invasions from other countries. It was a privilege for Terry and me to be invited to take part in the slate of activities during graduation week at West Point. Three other couples from our church were also in attendance with many of Brenton’s immediate family. After a brief respite from the academy, Brenton will return to West Point for thirty days to help train incoming cadets. He will report on August 15th to Fort Benning, Ga., for basic infantry training, and Airborne and Ranger training. He is slated in due course for Fort Bliss, Texas, where he is assigned to the First Armored Division in which he will lead a forty-man platoon of one of the combat teams. I have had the privilege to serve Brenton as pastor. It is now a privilege to know that he as one of so many serve us all as protector. (Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.) You can't enjoy today if worrying about the past or the future Your mind and your thoughts could be stuck in the past, continually thinking about what has already happened. If that's the case, it's best to get over it. The past has already happened; you can't do anything to change it. Rather, you ought to trust God that he is working out those things for ultimate good (see Romans 8:28). On the other hand, your mind could be stuck in the future, thinking about what might happen, what you fear will happen, and things you wish wouldn't happen. However, being a person of faith requires trust--trusting God about the future. Page A5 Friday, May 27, 2011 Transforming Your Mind The busiest battlefield has never been in any geographical area. The greatest battlefield in the history of mankind has always been in the mind. Every person experiences mental attacks. I’m not talking about medical mental challenges, but rather, simply negative or fearful thoughts. Fearful thoughts often times lead to impossibility thinking. In other words, these thoughts that the enemy uses are designed to assist the person (particularly Believers) in developing thoughts of defeat that will lead to inactivity, depression, isolation, separation, and/or a mindset of a victim’s mentality. It is vitally important that we renew our minds. In Romans 12:2 the Apostle Paul tells us to not be conformed or shaped with this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds that we may prove that which good, acceptable and perfect will of God is. In other words, the road or path to understanding, knowing and proving God’s perfect will for our lives is by being renewed in the spirit of our minds with the Word of God. This is vitally important to understand. Our battles are not against flesh and blood, or simply put — against people. But our battle is with principalities and Alex Colon power and rulers in high places. In other words, our battle is with spiritual forces that influence our lives by infecting our thought life as well as the outcome of our thought life, which creates a mindset. Every issue and every circumstance we deal with either comes from a thought or was generated by a thought, either directly from our minds or indirectly from somebody else’s mind with the purpose of affecting our lives. At the beginning of the year our church went on a forty day fast from wrong thinking. This fast helped us tremendously and probably more so in my own family because I noticed the change every week. But let me also remind you that even though after going through a 40 day fast from wrong thinking — into biblically thinking, does not mean that you will never have a negative or a defeated thought again. It simply means that you now have developed a habit of becoming more aware of your thoughts — even those thoughts that we seem to be unaware of, and quickly come against them through the Word of God. This skill of biblical thinking does not come easy. Mankind is used to thinking very negative, critical of others, and very selfish. That is part of the fall of man – a mental defeat. Therefore, staying away from wrong thinking and thinking biblically takes some doing, persistence and faith. During this time I have learned some things that have helped me as well as others tremendously with becoming more aware of what is going on between my ears and in my heart affecting my emotions and decisions. I want to share with you some of the things that I learned. In fact, I want to share with you some of the steps that are very successful in thinking biblically, defeating the loud giant of the mind and living a life of faith like you’ve never experienced before. I will have to give you these steps next week. Stay tuned and share your thoughts with me. Visit our website and contact us to let us know of your victories. Until next week… Make it a Great Day! (Rev. Alex Colón is pastor of Lighthouse Assembly of God in Gallipolis, Ohio.) Your level of living depends on your level of giving. Conventional wisdom says that your life will be better if you keep everything you have for yourself. However, God clearly says that your life will be better if you work to make another person's life better. In Galatians 6:7-9, Paul writes, Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. In other words, what you give to others will affect how they give to you; the amount of love, patience, and kindness that you show to others will affect the amount that they show to you. This principle of giving and receiving applies to many areas of life. For example, if you invest an hour a day into exercising, then you will reap the benefits of that investment—a strong, healthy body. However, if you invest that same time into flipping channels on T.V., then you will reap the benefits of that investment—a wasted hour. ‘If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything’ Several weeks back, one of our neighboring churches—specifically, the good folks across the street at New Beginnings U.M.C. — posted the following slogan on their outdoor sign board, and I quote: ... “You must stand for something, or you will fall for anything.” I could have used that slogan for my article then, or later on, but I was a bit distracted and preoccupied with a certain family matter. I don’t intend to use today’s column to say any more about that, except that it’s on-going — and somewhat uglier, too. Meanwhile, the lucid and prophetic nature of this particular statement has not allowed me to get it out of my mind. Not to deprive the Methodists of the credit due them, but long before I read it there I knew a man who said something similar, and with such regularity I often wondered if he Thomas Johnson knew anything else as quotable. In his case, I suspect it was something of a personal creed: ... “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.” Essentially, both statements have the same connotation — as well as the same consequence. I have a wonderful illustration in mind to substantiate what the Methodist’s said, and to do so will involve yet another member of the clergy involved in our local ministerial association. His retirement and departure are only a few months away, so now’s a time for me to recognize one of the finest, most charitable and Christlike men I’ve ever had the honor and pleasure of knowing — i.e., Rev. Father Walter Heinz, pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Among his many obvious and various attributes, Father Heinz is committed to his calling as a priest, and consistently “walks his talk.” Case in point: here is a man who, alongside his many parishioners, is totally committed to the sanctity of life. Admittedly, there are numerous other reasons I like this man, but his unqualified and uncompromising stance against abortion commands my complete admiration and respect. Consider: the late, beloved Mother Teresa directly and publicly confronted a former President of the United States, and challenged him to rule out abortion as a legitimate alternative to unwanted pregnancies. On the local level, Father Walter Heinz has the exact same mindset! Indeed, every time I walk by Sacred Heart Church and see the prolife poster out front, endorsed and sponsored as it is by the Knights of Columbus, I thank God for this priest and the influence he has had these many years in Pomeroy and surrounding areas. This, then — i.e., the sanctity of life — is something Father Heinz stands for. I also know this man stands for that which is good and right within Roman Catholicism, and in the whole of the Christian Church, too. To know him a little is to know that, a lot! Of course: defending life in the womb conflicts with modern-day thinking. Pro-choice advocates would have us believe it’s better to terminate the “inconvenient consequence” of a planned or unplanned sexual encounter than it is to give birth to an unwanted baby. My wife and I so wish our son and his thengirlfriend had refrained from having sexual relations, but such thinking now is “too little, too late.” Even before the current brouhaha attending Caleb, Ben had realized and regretted the error of his ways. However, at no time did either parent ever consider terminating the pregnancy! (For which my family is profoundly grateful!) Both Ben and his girlfriend believed, as our son was taught, abortion is murder, the intentional killing of innocent lives. For those inclined to defend abortion, please ponder this: ... “It’s easy to be pro-choice when you’re not the one being killed.” Abortion is not the “unforgiveable sin,” but it is sinful! In the mid-20th century, Adolph Hitler and Josef Mengele were condemned outright for doing what abortionists today are allowed and paid to do—with impunity and protection, too. Might there be something “rotten” in our own country?!? For what should God bless America? Monday is Memorial Day. It is incumbent upon us, the living, to remember those who fought and died for this Country likewise fought and died for life, that we might live. Why is it, then, that many Americans act to deny the most innocent of all the right to life? Now is the time to choose life, and to defend the unborn—so that babies, too, might live. (Rev. Thomas Johnson is pastor of Trinity Church in Pomeroy, Ohio.) �Friday, May 27, 2011 Meth From Page A1 and escaped before deputies could arrest him, and has been at large since. Deputies were traveling to a residence on McCumber Road where Rathburn had been staying when they spotted him riding in the passenger side of the truck, Beegle said. A “shake and bake” meth apparatus, used to manufacture the liquid elements of the dangerous drug, was thrown from the vehicle, and Rathburn was arrested. The driver has not been charged. Beegle said deputies proceeded to the mobile home where they had planned to search for meth materials, but found none. The kit thrown from the vehicle was decontaminated and destroyed. In an unrelated case, deputies working with the Meigs County Major Crimes Task Force, Gallia County deputies and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification searched a mobile home on Leading Creek Road and arrested Tony Jacks, 24, and Mary Schuler, 27, on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine. The arrests were the result of a two-month investigation, Beegle said. Jacks and Schuler, too, were first charged after a traffic stop Wednesday, Beegle said. Deputies discovered drug paraphernalia in their vehicle. Schuler was first taken into custody for a probation violation. After searching the mobile home on Leading Creek Road, deputies confiscated several more “shake and bake” labs, and destroyed them with help from a Marion County hazardous materials firm. The Rutland Volunteer Fire Department, BCI and Gallia County agents also assisted in the seizure and clean-up. Deputy Rick Smith said more of the “shake and bake” labs, which consist of bottles, tubing and other items, are being found in rural areas. At least two of the “one-pot” labs have been discovered alongside Meigs County roadways. Smith said leaving the labs alongside the road is a safer means of manufacturing the drug, which is made with volatile ingredients including battery acid. Smith said anyone who discovers coolers, bottles or other items alongside the road should not approach them, but report the discovery to police. “Ditch dope,” Smith said, often looks like kitchen trash, but the fumes from the labs are toxic, explosive, and could kill in seconds. Schuler and Jacks were released after appearing in court yesterday.

Road Grants From Page A1 From Page A1 behind Taco Bell, according to Varnadoe. In other Monkey Run news, Slavens said ODOT officials were hoping to return to the area in a “couple of weeks” to attempt to insert a “culvert cam” into an old sandstone culvert. The heavy duty/mobile camera will traverse the culvert and attempt to see if it has collapsed, possibly causing flooding in the area. If this has happened, a possible solution may be inserting plastic sleeves into the culvert to widen the hole, allowing more water to drain. ODOT attempted to insert the cam a few weeks ago but the continual, high water prevented it. tabled pending review. Trussell said she has received seven application for CDBG formula projects for next year, but said the Ohio Department of Development will not notify the county of how much money will be available for projects until the end of June. Until then, she said, commissioners should carefully consider and prioritize projects. Then, they can award funding until the money runs out. Trussell said as six projects have been funded in the past through each year’s award, but said cuts are expected this year. The CDBG formula program allows commissioners to finance community projects through proposals submitted directly to them. Water and sewer upgrades, small paving projects, park improvements and other infrastructure projects receive money each year. Commissioners also: • Approved payment of bills in the amount of $521,149.50. • Opened bids for bituminous materials for June, from Asphalt Materials, Marietta, and Phillips’ Oil Co., Columbus. Attending were President Michael Bartrum, Commissioners Tom Anderson and Tim Ihle, and Clerk Gloria Kloes.

Eastern junior Tyler Cline took second place in the discus at the Region 11 Track and Field Championships at Fairfield Union High School Wednesday evening, sending him to the state meet. Cline throw a distance of 152 feet, four inches, finishing just behind Coal Grove’s Greg Bender (153-9). This will be the first state meet appearance for Cline, who placed eighth at last year’s regional meet. Cline will be the first Eastern athlete to compete in a throwing event at the State Track and Field Championships since Ross Holter in 2004. Holter qualified for both the shot put and discus in 2004, something Cline will try for on Friday evening. Freshman Maddie Rigsby gave the Lady Eagles their first point of the 2011 regional compe- tition, placing eighth in the high jump (5-0). Ashley Putnam placed 10th in the shot put with a throw of 34-0.5. In Wednesday evening’s preliminary events, Kyle Connery and Klint Connery each advanced to the finals in the 400 meter dash with times of 51.55 seconds and 53.17 seconds, respectively.

Scott Rolen. Jay Bruce. The heart of the Reds order was primed to finally win this one in the 19th inning. Only one problem: The journeyman infielder making his first professional appearance on the mound. Wilson Valdez shifted over from second base and wound up as the winning pitcher early Thursday when the Philadelphia Phillies needed 19 innings to outlast Cincinnati 5-4. A dwindling crowd at Citizens Bank Park saw Raul Ibanez hit a basesloaded sacrifice fly to decide the longest major league game of the season. It ended at 1:19 a.m. after 6 hours, 11 minutes. Not much time for rest, either. The teams were set to play again Thursday at 1:05 p.m. “It’s about as strange as they come,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. Phillies fans stood and chanted “Let’s go, Wilson!” when the 33year-old Valdez took over, and responded by throwing a hitless inning. The first batter he faced was Votto, and the reigning NL MVP flied out to deep center field. Valdez acted like a seasoned closer. He hit 90 mph on a fastball to Votto. He even shook off catcher Dane Sardinha. And he showed no fear. “If he hits a home run, they’re not going to say anything to me,” said Valdez, laughing. Valdez (1-0) became the first position player to become a winning pitcher since Colorado catcher Brent Mayne on Aug. 22, 2000, STATS LLC said. Mayne went one inning in a 7-6 victory over Atlanta in 12 innings. Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard put his mitt over his face to hide his smile when Valdez shook off his catcher. “I was like, ‘What is he going to throw? What does he have?’” Howard said. “It was funny, but he got it done.” Some fans, young and old, already were asleep in the stands as the game played on. But plenty of the die-hards who stuck around made it a lively atmosphere, especially when Valdez took over as Philadelphia’s ninth pitcher. Valdez threw one pitch to the backstop and hit Rolen. But the Phillies’ newest right-hander then retired Bruce on a fly ball and got down Reds reliever Carlos Fisher (01) on a popup. “If it’s anything like how he throws balls to me, it’s going to be nasty up there,” Howard said. “He throws a lot of sinkers.” Valdez still had shaving cream nestled in his beard and dripping off his ear in the locker room. Fisher, the Reds’ seventh pitcher, worked 5 23 innings and gave up one run and four hits. The Phillies used 21 players overall, the Reds used 20. “Fisher gave us all he had,” Baker said. “He finally ran out of gas.” Fisher finally wore down when Jimmy Rollins singled to open the 19th, Domonic Brown walked and Placido Polanco sacrificed. Thousands of fans derisively chanted “Fisher! Fisher!” before he intentionally Howard to load the bases. Ibanez was 1 for 8 during the night when he hit a fly to deep center to win it. “The fans were great to get on him like that,” Howard said. “We couldn’t have done it without them.” The Reds used seven pitchers and the Phillies nine. The Reds had 15 hits; Philadelphia 13. Some of the boxscore numbers were rough. Reds third baseman Scott Rolen was 0 for 7 and Phillies infielder Placido Polanco was 1 for 8. Bruce homered in the 10th for the Reds, then Howard went deep and tied it in the bottom half. They ended up playing the longest game in the eight-season history of the ballpark. By time, the Reds and Phillies still had a long way to go to match the latest-ending game in the big leagues this year. It was 2:45 a.m. at Fenway Park when the Los Angeles Angels beat Boston in the 13th inning of a rain-delayed game earlier this month. Roy Halladay and the Phillies led 3-0 before the Reds rallied in the seventh. The Phillies still had a couple innings left to match the longest game in team history: a 2-1 loss to Chicago in 21 innings on July 17, 1918. The Reds lost to San Francisco 1-0 in 21 innings on Sept. 1, 1967, in the longest game in their history. Phillies reliever Danys Baez threw 73 pitches and tossed one-hit ball over five scoreless innings. He led off the 16th using a bat that hardly looked game used, drawing chuckles from Phillies star Shane Victorino and manager Charlie Manuel in the dugout. Baez was confused. He grabbed the wrong helmet and forgot to stick pine tar on the bat. “My arm feels good now,” Baez said. “I don’t know about tomorrow.” Today is tomorrow. “Well, in six hours.” The Phillies squandered a chance to win it in the 18th when Valdez was stranded on second after a two-out double. Fisher retired Michael Martinez on a liner to left. Bruce hit a shot off Antonio Bastardo over the scoreboard into the front row of the rightfield seats for his 13th homer of the year to put the Reds ahead in the 10th. Bruce hit a tiebreaking, three-run double in the ninth to lead the Reds to a 6-3 win on Tuesday. He hit a three-run homer against the Phillies on Monday to give him nine RBIs in the series. It was no consolation. “It’s definitely the strangest I’ve ever been a part of,” Bruce said. “All that effort and time and you lose. It’s tough.” Howard tagged Francisco Cordero for his 11th homer to make it 4-all. The starting pitchers were an afterthought when the game ended. Reds starter Travis Wood and Halladay didn’t come close to matching their classic duel last July 10 at Citizens Bank Park. Wood was perfect until Carlos Ruiz spoiled history in the ninth with a leadoff double. Halladay tossed nine scoreless innings in that one and both pitchers got a no-decision when the Phillies won 1-0 in 11 innings. Ben Francisco hit a two-run homer for the NL East leaders in the first inning. Ruiz doubled in the second and scored on John Mayberry Jr.’s single. Drew Stubbs singled, stole second and scored on Votto’s single in the fifth to make it 3-1. Bruce hit a two-run single in the seventh. NOTES: The Phillies should decide Thursday if RHP Jose Contreras is ready to come off the disabled list. Contreras has five saves and hasn’t allowed a run this season. ... Phillies RHP Joe Blanton visited renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his injured elbow. Blanton will start a throwing program in three to four weeks.
