WEATHER POMEROY — Local officials are pleased with the recent arrests of those accused of manufacturing and distributing methamphetamine, but are less happy about the costs associated with disposing of the materials siezed in meth raids. Until recently, the state picked up the cost of dis- posing of the hazardous materials used to manufacture the drug, but the cost of the most recent disposal job will fall on the county to pay, county commissioners said Monday. A grant source for funding that work is no longer available, Sheriff Robert Beegle said yesterday. Beegle received a bill last week for $2,276 from Chemical Pack Services, whose Mt. Gilead opera- tion responded to an April crime scene for cleanup. Tony Jacks, 24, and Mary Schuler, 27, were arrested in April on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine. The arrests were the result of a two-month investigation, and followed a search of their Leading Creek mobile home. After the arrests were made, CPS was called in to dispose of the potentially-lethal chemicals used to make the drug. The standard means of decontaminating an area where meth has been manufactured is to hire an environmental company trained in hazardous waste removal and cleanup. The chemicals used to make the drug are toxic, and a home and its contents can absorb the contaminants and continue to release chemicals.

(Photos courtesy of Meigs County Fish and Game) Cuts in program funds blamed for increase in smoking rates BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Ohio’s adult smoking rate increased last year over that of 2009, and tobacco-prevention advocates are not surprised. They say the increase, which follows a long trend of declining tobacco use, is due to cuts in programming aimed at stopping tobacco use. In its new biennial bud- get, the state has cut all funding for enforcing the state’s Smoke-Free Workplace law, which prohibits smoking in all public places. That law is complaint-driven and enforced primarily by the Franklin County Department of Health. According to the Centers for Disease Prevention, Ohio’s adult smoking rate has increased from 20 to 22 percent. The number of Medicaid recipients who smoke is twice that of the state average. “The increase comes as no surprise to tobacco-prevention advocates who have been warning of an increase in smoking rates since funds for tobacco prevention and cessation programs have been cut from the state budget,” according to Investing in TobaccoFree Youth Coalition. “It’s disturbing to see years of progress beginning to reverse because of a lack of investment in programs that saved lives and employed hundreds of Ohioans,” said Shelly Kiser, director of advocacy, American Lung Association of Ohio. “Now, thousands more Ohioans’ lives are at risk and the state will be paying even more to treat tobacco- See Smoking, A5 Red Cross describes blood need as ‘critical” BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM INDEX 1 SECTION — 10 PAGES Classifieds Comics Editorials Sports 7-8 6 4 9-10 © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

Syring of the Huntington, W. Va. Area Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region which serves many area hospitals, is making an appeal for donors to come out to the community bloodmobile visits to donate blood. The next visit in Meigs County will be tomorrow, Wednesday, June 15, at the Mulberry Community Center, 1 to 6 p.m. Syring described the summer season as the “most challenging time for the Red Cross to collect blood.” Calling sum- mer the “trauma season,” she said “this is the time when there is an increase in the demand for blood to treat trauma victims, but a decrease in the availability of many donors.” As for reasons someone might need blood transfusions, Syring listed traumatic injury, treatment for cancer or a blood disorder, or even for routine surgeries, She said that across Ohio the Red Cross serves 134 hospitals, and needs the help of about 2,000 donors every day to meet patient needs, but only a fraction of the population actually donates blood. Visits of the bloodmobile to Meigs County over the next few months begins Wednesday at the Mulberry Community Center. At that visit the names of all presenting donors will be entered in a See Bloodmobile, A5 COLUMBUS — The process to find a replacement for outgoing State Sen. Jimmy Stewart (RAlbany) should begin in the next couple of Sen. Jimmy weeks, accord- Stewart ing to a John McClelland from the Ohio Senate Republican Caucus. McClelland said a process to pick Stewart’s replacement is in place though the caucus has no timetable to release at this point - he added that timetable should begin to take shape later this month with Stewart’s last day being July 1. Part of this process is the assembly of a screening committee which will be approved by Senate President Tom Neihaus (RNew Richmond). The committee then sorts through applicants and recommends a candidate to the caucus for a vote of yea or nay. Stewart resigned his seat, which is up for reelection in 2012, to take over the post of president of the Ohio Gas Association. Stewart’s new job will be overseeing the OGA which according to its website, is a natural gas trade organization which represents more than 30 local distribution companies and cooperatives. Also, member companies of OGA serve more than 3.6 million customers in Ohio and additionally, OGA represents the vast majority of all intrastate and interstate gas transmission firms, as well as more than 10 natural gas commodity marketers whose customers include residential, commercial and industrial gas users. Stewart’s replacement will serve constituents in the 20th Senate District which includes Meigs, Athens, Coshocton, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Guernsey and Washington. Stewart is currently only the third state senator from Meigs County and the first from Meigs County to be senate majority leader. �Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Alumni award scholarships Morgan Hall The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Congratulates the new commander of Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion Meagan Carnahan TUPPERS PLAINS — The Chester Alumni Association held its annual banquet recently at Eastern High School.

About an hour before dawn, nearly seven hours into his shift, Cheung dozed off as his bus carrying 59 passengers barreled northward on Interstate 95 in Virginia on May 31, according to court documents. The bus veered off the highway. When Cheung tried to swerve back onto the road, the bus hit an embankment and overturned, authorities say. Four passengers were killed and dozens more injured. Attorneys for Cheung, who remains in jail without bond, have called the wreck a "tragic accident." Prosecutors have charged Cheung, 37, of Flushing, N.Y., with four counts of involuntary manslaughter. But sleep scientists, safety advocates and labor leaders say the roots of the accident lie with an industry whose economic model often results in drivers on the road with too little rest and at hours when their bodies naturally crave sleep. "The consequence is an entire industry populated by people not getting enough sleep," said Larry Hanley, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents drivers at Greyhound and other companies. Studies show that between 13 percent and 31 percent of commercial vehicle crashes are due to driver fatigue, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. Recent deadly crashes involving motor coaches — large buses that travel between cities, like the vehicle Cheung was driving — have heightened concern about driver fatigue. In March, a bus returning passengers to New York's Chinatown after a night of gambling ran off an elevated highway and hit a utility pole, shearing off its roof. Fifteen passengers were killed and many more injured. The driver has said he was awake and alert, but passengers told police the bus was swerving. A lawsuit filed by one passenger claims the driver was asleep. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which oversees the nation's estimated 4,000 passenger bus companies, had flagged the bus company in the New York crash, World Wide Travel, for possible extra scrutiny due to violations involving driver fatigue. Sky Express Inc. of Charlotte, N.C., which employed Cheung to drive from North Carolina to New York, had been cited for 46 violations involving driver fatigue rules over two years, ranking it in the bottom 14 percent of motor carriers . Passengers on the bus that crashed overheard Cheung complaining in a cell phone call that he was tired and that he didn't have much turn-around time between trips, according to a court affidavit. Federal officials were in the process of shutting down the company at the time of the crash. A timeline released by the Department of Transportation showed Sky Express would have stopped operations the weekend before the May 31 crash if regulators hadn't extended their review an extra 10 days. Bus industry officials say motor coaches have a good safety record. The popularity of motor coach travel has soared over the past decade, in part because it's relatively inexpensive. The industry transports an estimated 750 million passengers annually in the U.S., roughly equivalent to the domestic airline industry — yet only about 20 passengers a year are killed in accidents. Pete Pantuso, president of the American Bus Association, said fatalities are primarily the fault of a handful of small operators who ignore safety regulations to cut costs. When the government orders them to shut down, they reopen under a new name or in a new location. The problem is so common they are known in the industry as reincarnated or chameleon carriers.

Three casinos have bikini beach bars on the sand. Outside the gambling halls, there are a halfdozen strip clubs and a sex swingers/voyeurs club; (Coming up: "Men's Shirt and High Heels Night," the suggested attire for women.) Even the famous New York strip club Scores wants to open a branch in an Atlantic City casino. It's all part of an effort to attract new business and fight off competition from casinos in neighboring states. The emphasis on sexiness is designed to appeal to a younger — and hopefully more freespending — crowd. Ever since gambling started in the nation's second-largest casino market in 1978, Atlantic City has been torn over whether to market itself as a family resort, or as Sin City East. Guess which side is winning? "In our industry, the casino and entertainment and hospitality business, you want to provide things that are pleasing and exciting and fun," said Dennis Gomes, co-owner of Resorts Hotel Casino. "One of the things that most people find pleasing, exciting and fun is sex." His casino is testing the boundaries of Atlantic City, which for all its history as a bawdy vice destination at the turn of the century — witness the HBO hit series "Boardwalk Empire" about crooked politicians, brothels and speakeasies — has been rather tame when it comes to sex as a marketing tool. The lowcut flapper dresses Resorts is making its female beverage servers wear have already gener- ated two lawsuits from older women who say they were fired for being judged insufficiently sexy in them. Resorts raised some eyebrows, and the ire of New Jersey's public transit agency, when it put up a billboard featuring a dancer's bare bottom to promote a stage show. And next month, Gomes promises, the casino will host a nightly "Naked Circus" in a parking lot tent. The Tropicana Casino and Resort, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, and the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa all dress beverage servers and even some dealers in lingerie or similarly revealing, cleavageenhancing costumes. Bally's Atlantic City has its iCandy Burlesque dancers at a casino lounge. If it seems like Atlantic City is trying to catch up to Las Vegas — the original Sin City — it is. The Diving Horse, a $1 million-plus gentlemen's club/steakhouse, opened two weeks ago with Vegas on its mind. "The Diving Horse is bringing the Las Vegasstyle gentlemen's club to the Northeast," spokeswoman Shannon Niland said. "Vegas does that type of entertainment for a reason: sex sells." Atlantic City has had to walk a fine line in promoting itself as an edgier, sexier resort without alienating more conservative customers. Its current motto is "Always Turned On" — not quite as risque as "What Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas." "We've always looked to promote Atlantic City as a sensual destination, and we started to push the envelope a little more," said Jeff Vasser, executive director of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitors Bureau. "But you have to balance it. At the end of the day, we are still a community that existed long before it was a casino town. We could never get away with 'What Happens Here Stays Here.'" 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 Marc Meltzer, who runs a marketing agency and several gambling/travel websites, is encouraged Atlantic City is trying something different to draw attention to itself. Before moving to Las Vegas in November, the 37-year-old would visit Atlantic City every six weeks, favoring Harrah's Resort and the Borgata, whose scantily clad "Borgata Babes" were a highlight. "The eye candy was top-notch," he said. "It's what attracts a 20- or 30year-old guy. If he can go somewhere and look at a good-looking girl, all other things being equal, he'll go look at the goodlooking girl. I enjoy rolling dice with the old men and looking at a good-looking girl. That's a good combination." Bonita West, a human resources manager from Orange County, N.Y., says sexy casinos can't hurt. "I hope they do polish up the ladies a little more, give me a run for my money!" she joked. "I have seen some humdrum (servers), and after a while they begin to blend in with the carpets. Let's make them just as eye-popping as the machines: catchy outfits that I might even envy. Give me some ideas I might want to use to stimulate my husband of 27 years. Let's make the atmosphere sexy!" Not everyone agrees. "Any time we objectify women, see them as part of the furniture or the décor, we put all women at risk of the type of behavior that objectification brings, like rape, domestic violence and sexual abuse," said Erin O'Hanlon, an official with The Women's Center, located just outside Atlantic City. "These are someone's mothers, wives, cousins, sisters, daughters. Some of them are undoubtedly doing this in order to support their families. It sends the message that women who are dressed this way are commodities." One of Resorts' promo- tions pits customers against a costumed female employee at tictac-toe. Only here it's called "Chick-tac-toe" and customers are encouraged to see if they can "beat the bimbo." Joseph Monek, a 74year-old retiree from Bethlehem, Pa., says sexing up Atlantic City is not what the resort needs. "The best bet is to improve the beach and the Boardwalk, and people will come, we hope, and bring some cash to the casinos," he said. In announcing a plan to help rescue Atlantic City from its 4½-year downward spiral last summer, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he envisioned the gambling resort as a more family-friendly place, with Ferris wheels and amusement parks to complement the casinos. A spokesman for the governor declined to comment this week. The world famous Steel Pier has amusement rides and games, and there is a mini-golf course and an arcade on the Boardwalk, and an aquarium within driving distance. But there's decidedly less for families and kids to do here than there is for adults. New Jersey's casino regulations prohibit nudity and real or simulated sex acts in the gambling halls. To comply with that, Scores would have to partially cover its dancers in pasties and G-strings, unlike their totally nude counterparts in New York City, if it were to get approval to open inside the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort. Their application has been pending for nearly a year, with no timetable set for a decision from the state Division of Gaming Enforcement. For that same reason, Resorts' "Naked Circus" would also employ pasties and G-strings, though it would be restricted to those 21 and older.

By fixing a loophole in the difference between the tax on cigarettes and non-cigarette forms of tobacco, the legislature can generate funds to bring programs back and, once again, send our smoking rates into a decline,” said Kiser. “We call on the legislature to fix this loophole and fund prevention to prevent yet another generation of Ohio’s youth from becoming addicted to tobacco.” Bloodmobile From Page A1 drawing to win a gift certificate from the Weaving Stitches Gift Shop.

Fireworks 9:30 LANDEN (AP) — On a recent weekend in a restaurant in a tiny southeastern Texas village, a stranger handed a southwest Ohio woman the most precious gift she has ever received. It was just a tiny, rectangular piece of aluminum — a military dog tag — stamped with some lettering: "Vordenberg, Wesley P./Tetanus shot 1942." It was the dog tag that had belonged to Fran Uecker's father, a World War II veteran of the Army Air Force who passed away in 1992 after a long career as a professor of education at Xavier University. And the story of how it came into her possession, said Uecker, of Landen, "is nothing short of a miracle." It began about 10 years ago, in the village of Blessing, Texas, where Jack Hodge, a Vietnam veteran, was working in his garden and saw a shiny object wedged in the ground under a tree. Hodge dug it up and knew at once what it was, having worn dog tags during his own Army days.

Member SIPC. Prosecutors nearly finished in Casey Anthony trial ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors said Monday they are almost finished presenting their evidence in the murder trial of Casey Anthony, who is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter nearly three years ago. Jurors heard testimony from two more FBI forensic experts as the trial entered its fourth week and the state continued to try to link toddler Caylee Anthony's decomposing remains to her mother. A hair and fiber expert testified that a strand of hair found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car could have fallen from the child's head during the movement of her dead body. Another expert, who tested for fingerprints on three strips of duct tape found attached to the toddler's decomposed skull, said that she observed a heart-shaped outline on one of the pieces. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the death of her daughter and faces a death sentence if convicted. She has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors contend Anthony suffocated Caylee with duct tape, while the defense says she drowned in her grandparents' pool. The child was not reported missing for 31 days. Her remains were found in a wooded area near the Anthony home in December 2008. The experts were the lone witnesses called on Monday. Judge Belvin Perry recessed for the day just after noon because the prosecution said their next witness wouldn't arrive until Tuesday. The state has also notified Perry that it could conclude its case as early as Wednesday. Depending on the length of the defense's case, Perry told the jury he thinks they could begin deliberating during the last week of June. COUPON $5.00 Gift Card with new or transferred prescriptions.

The Preakness winner tired in the stretch. The Belmont Stakes was up for grabs. And it was 24-1 long shot Ruler on Ice who delivered a huge upset Saturday in the final leg of the Triple Crown, splashing his way to a three-quarter length victory over Stay Thirsty. As expected, Shackleford led from the start but when the field of 12 turned for home in the 1?-mile Belmont, he tired in the muck as long shots Stay Thirsty and Ruler On Ice passed him by. “Ruler wasn’t slowing down,” winning jockey Jose Valdivia Jr. said. “It was a great feeling the last sixteenth of a mile.” The much-hyped rubber match between Shackleford and Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom never developed on a rainy day at Belmont Park. Shackleford finished fifth, while Animal Kingdom got off to a terrible start, never moved into contention and finished sixth. Jockey John Velazquez nearly fell off when Animal Kingdom collided with Monzon just after the start. He somehow managed to get his left foot back into the stirrup, but by then it was too late. Animal Kingdom had dropped more than 12 lengths off the lead, and did well to finish in the middle of the pack. An elated Valdivia, riding in his first Belmont, described the final seconds of the race while still on his horse. “I’m a couple of yards from the wire and I’m thinking, ‘Oh my god, oh my god, I’m going to win the Belmont,’” he said. A crowd of 55,779 turned out hoping to see a stretch showdown between Animal Kingdom and Shackleford. But that vanished once the Derby winner was knocked out of contention in a bad bit of racing luck. The Belmont has a history of surprise finishes, from spoiled Triple Crown attempts to stunning shockers. Only two favorites have won since Thunder Gulch in 1995, and long shots have been the norm. Last year, it was 13-1 Drosselmeyer, two years ago Summer Bird at 11-1, and three years ago Da’ Tara at 38-1. Birdstone spoiled Smarty Jones’ bid for a Triple Crown in 2004 at odds of 36-1 and Sarava ended War Emblem’s Triple try in 2002 at 701 odds. AP Photo/Tim Donnelly Ruler On Ice, left, with jockey Jose Valdivia Jr., sprints ahead of jockey Javier Castellano on Stay Thirsty to win the Belmont Stakes horse race Saturday at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. The win left Lori Hall, who owns Ruler On Ice with her husband George, shaking. “It was amazing, because we really were the underdog,” she said. Ruler On Ice’s victory makes it three years in a row a different horse has won each of the Triple Crown races, and next year it will be a 33year gap since Affirmed swept the Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978. Ruler On Ice, trained by New Jersey-based Kelly Breen, did not run in the first two legs of the Triple Crown. The 3-year-old gelding didn’t have enough graded stakes earnings to qualify for the Derby, but vindicated his trainer’s faith by defeating a field that included the first seven finishers in the Run for the Roses. The winning time for the oldest and longest race in the Triple Crown was a slow 2:30.88. Ruler On Ice, a temperamental sort fitted with blinkers for the first time to keep him focused, returned $51.50, $26 and $13.60. Stay Thirsty, owner Mike Repole’s secondbest 3-year-old behind the sidelined Uncle Mo, paid $19.40 and $10.80. Brilliant Speed was third and returned $7.90 to show. Nehro, second in his last three races, including the Derby, was fourth, followed by Shackleford, Animal Kingdom, Mucho Macho Man, Santiva, Monzon, Master of Hounds, Prime Cut and Isn’t He Perfect.

It ended with Dirk Nowitzki taking the NBA championship trophy there for a late-night celebration. Soaked in champagne in their locker room and spraying more around at a Miami Beach club hours later, the Dallas Mavericks not only added at least another year to James’ wait for an NBA title, but they got to have the season’s biggest — and final — party. Jason Terry scored 27 points, Nowitzki scored 21 on his way to MVP honors, and the Mavs topped the Miami Heat 105-95 on Sunday night to win the NBA title in six games. “Nobody can ever take this away from us again,” Nowitzki said. “And for one year, we were the best team that was out there. That feels amazing.” Added Terry: “We got vindication.” James did not. His eighth season ended like the previous seven — without a title. For the second time, he lost in the finals, this defeat added to the fourgame sweep San Antonio put on his Cleveland team in 2007. And a season that began with Miami celebrating the signings of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh ended before many of the same fans and on the very same floor, the promise of championships not yet fulfilled. “Any time you feel like you get to the top of the mountain and you fall off, there’s definitely a personal failure,” James said. He scored 21 points for Miami, which got 19 from Bosh, 18 from Mario Chalmers and 17 from Dwyane Wade. James shook hands afterward and departed before most of the Mavs tugged on their championship hats and T-shirts. Bosh doubled over halfway down the hall in anguish, covering his face. Wade tugged his jersey off as he walked from the court for the season’s final time. “Neither team deserved this championship more than the other, but Dallas earned it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Make no mistake: Miami lost the finals, but the blame will be directed at James. Even he knew that after the way he left Cleveland with “The Decision” and all the animus that generated not just in his native Ohio but around the entire league. Especially after he uttered in an hourlong televised special that he was going to “take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat,” the only thing he knew would silence some critics was a title. Instead, he got more criticism — a thinly veiled jab from his former owner with the Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert, who reveled in the moment on Twitter. “Old Lesson for all: There are NO SHORTCUTS. NONE,” Gilbert wrote. And the winning owner, Mark Cuban, took what may be perceived as a jab as well: “I could care less about the Heat,” he said. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle joined an elite group, those with NBA titles as both a player and a head coach. Others on that list include the presumably retired-for-good Phil Jackson, one of Carlisle’s mentors in K.C. Jones, and Heat President Pat Riley — who led Miami past Dallas in 2006, and was the mastermind of what the Heat did last summer with an eye on becoming a dynasty. It might still happen. Just not as soon as Miami would have liked. “This is a true team,” Carlisle said. “This is an old bunch. We don’t run fast or jump high. These guys had each other’s backs. We played the right way.” Hating the Heat became the NBA’s craze this season, and the team knew it had no shortage of critics. To the end, Miami said it wasn’t bothered by that. Oddly, the Mavericks got a boost from the phenomenon. “We could feel it,” Carlisle said, noting he was repeatedly told during the finals that “billions” of people wanted to see Dallas topple Miami. Given their newfound popularity, meet the new America’s Team. Sorry, Cowboys — your long-held moniker might have to be ceded to your city’s NBA club. Carlisle said Riley came down to congratulate the Mavericks after the game, showing “unbelievable class.” Nowitzki and Wade exchanged texts after the 2006 finals MVP was unable to reach the 2011 finals MVP during the on-court celebration to shake hands. “Their time will come,” Carlisle said. “But now, it’s our time.” AP photo Dallas Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki, left to right, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and Shawn Marion celebrate after Game 6 of the NBA Finals basketball game against the Miami Heat on Sunday in Miami. The Mavericks won 105-95 to win the series. When the Mavericks took a 2-0 lead in Dallas during the ‘06 finals, plans for their victory parade were announced. The Mavs didn’t win another game in that series. Now, that parade will finally happen, with city officials in Dallas saying it could be several days away. And when it’s over, then the league’s uncertainty will truly begin. Labor strife likely awaits, and although more talks geared toward movement on a new deal are scheduled for this week, both owners and players are bracing for a lockout to begin once the collective bargaining agreement expires June 30. Late Sunday night, the CBA was the last thing on the mind of the new champions of the NBA, whom Carlisle called “the most special team I’ve ever been around.” Jason Kidd, at 38 years old, got his first championship. Nowitzki got his at 32, Terry at 33. They were featured on the video screen in their building in Dallas during this series on what seemed like a constant loop, each posing with the NBA trophy and looking longingly at it, standing mere inches from it, as if to say “so close, yet so far away.” No more. It’s theirs. “Everybody is happy that we lost,” Heat guard Eddie House said. “Period.” Nowitzki sealed it with 2:27 left, hitting a jumper near the Miami bench to put Dallas up 99-89, and some fans actually began leaving. Nowitzki walked to the Mavs’ side slowly, right fist clenched and aloft. He knew it. Everyone did. “We feel it,” Wade said. “We’ll feel it even more tomorrow.” Added Bosh: “Hands down, they were the better team in this series. ... All we can do is just admit it and move forward.” James called Sunday’s game a pop quiz, the last test to see if the season unlike any other would go down as a success. It did not. “We ran into a team that at this time is obviously better than us,” Wade said. Miami had chances to take command and wasted them all. The Heat missed 13 of their 33 free throws, let the Mavericks score 27 points off turnovers and simply could not get a rebound in the final minutes. Nowitzki finished 9 for 27, and the Mavs still won. He was 1 for 12 in the first half, and they were still ahead, 53-51, thanks largely to Terry’s 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting. “Was he unbelievable tonight or what?” marveled Nowitzki. Down the stretch, Terry made another contribution. He grabbed Nowitzki during a timeout, telling him, “Remember ‘06.” The final minutes belonged to Dirk and the Mavs, and a few German flags waved in Miami’s arena during the postgame celebration. “This feeling, to be on the best team in the world, it’s just undescribable,” Nowitzki said. James didn’t score in the second half until a layup with 1:49 remained in the third — his first field-goal attempt since 1:05 remained in the half. Kidd made a 3-pointer late in the period, pushing the Dallas lead to 7971, and it seemed like the only people standing in the arena were the players, referees, Cuban and a few guys around the Dallas bench. The Heat spent the second half chasing the Mavericks, never catching them. “I can’t believe the journey,” said Kidd, who lost two previous finals trips with the New Jersey Nets. “The journey, the character of my teammates telling me they wanted to get me a championship. Tonight they came out and played well. I came here twice, this being my third time so third time was the lucky charm.” Of the principal characters from the 2006 series, only Cuban, Nowitzki and Terry remain from the Mavericks’ side. Terry won’t have to get his tattoo — the one of the NBA championship trophy — removed, which he vowed to have done if Miami won this series. Nowitzki will never be in the conversation of ‘Best player without a title’ again. James is clearly the one with that most-unwanted label now. As the night wore on, the smell of champagne permeated from the Dallas locker room, while Miami’s was cleaned and vacuumed quickly, towels picked up, shower shoes stacked neatly before each player’s locker. Nearby, in the team’s usual postgame interview room, the Mavericks posed with the championship trophy, whooping in joy as Miami players filed out in stunned disbelief. “The Greater Man upstairs know when it’s my time,” James tweeted. “Right now isn’t the time.” Ohio governor praises Mavericks win over LeBron COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — In the home state of the Miami Heat’s LeBron James, Ohio Gov. John Kasich (KAY’-sik) has issued a resolution praising the Dallas Mavericks’ 105-95 victory Sunday clinching the NBA title over James’ team. Without naming James, Kasich’s resolution commends the Mavericks for their “loyalty, integrity and teamwork” and makes them honorary Ohioans. It singles out MVP Dirk Nowitzki for choosing to re-sign with the Mavericks and forego his free agency in the summer of 2010, “thus remaining loyal to the team, city and fans for whom he played his entire career.” James made an opposite choice by departing the Cleveland Cavaliers when he became a free agent. The resolution says “the proud city of Cleveland and the entire state of Ohio share in the excitement of Dallas Mavericks fans everywhere.” Ex-Buckeye QB Pryor signs on with agent Rosenhaus COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent and has taken steps toward making himself available for an NFL supplemental draft. Pryor’s lawyer, Larry James, said Monday that Pryor was in Miami and had signed an agreement with Rosenhaus, a highpowered agent who represents some of the biggest names in sports. His client list includes standout wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco along with former Ohio State running back and Pryor teammate Chris “Beanie” Wells, now with the Arizona Cardinals. “I am happy that he has reached this point and he’s in secure hands,” James said of Pryor. Pryor, James and at least two other people spent the past few days discussing the quarterback’s options in terms of agents. Then Pryor flew to Miami on Sunday and signed a contract with Rosenhaus late on Monday morning. James also formally notified Ohio State that Pryor had signed with an agent, which officially made the three-year starter ineligible in the eyes of the university and the NCAA. That clears the way for the next step in Pryor’s hopes of making it into the NFL. “The university declares him ineligible,” James said. “Therefore, that is a prerequisite to being eligible for the supplemental draft.” Pryor announced last week that he would not return to the team for his senior season. He had already been suspended by Ohio State and the NCAA for the first five games of the 2011 season for accepting improper benefits in the form of cash and discounted tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. The NCAA is investigating all aspects of Ohio State’s athletic program, particularly the football team. The probe led to the forced resignation of head coach Jim Tressel on May 30. Tressel has admitted he knew his players were taking improper benefits but covered it up for more than nine months before Ohio State officials discovered his knowledge. Rosenhaus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Pryor cannot be signed as a free agent by an NFL team. The NFL, currently embroiled in a work stoppage with the players, will likely schedule a supplemental draft for July or August. The draft follows a similar pattern to that of the regular draft in the spring. The NFL team selecting Pryor would surrender its pick in the same round in the regular draft in 2012. The 6-foot-6, 233pounder from Jeannette, Pa., is Ohio State’s alltime leading rusher among quarterbacks, with 2,164 yards. He also matched Bobby Hoying’s school record for touchdown passes with 57. While marveling at his Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) eludes Arkansas cornerback Isaac Madison (6) before fumbling, with Ohio State recovering for a touchdown during the first quarter of the Sugar Bowl NCAA college football game at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2011. AP photo size and speed, many draft experts have questioned his footwork, his throwing motion, his arm strength and his ability to read defenses. Some have even said Pryor should forget about playing quarterback and shift to wide receiver, tight end or some other posi- tion. NFL draft analyst and former Dallas Cowboys general manager Gil Brandt has his doubts about Pryor but takes a wait-and-see approach. He said there’s no reason for Pryor to change positions — at least not right away. “See if he can play the position first of all. But for him to play the position, I think it’s going to take a lot of training,” he said. “It’s going to take a person really dedicated to playing football. The things that I hear, he maybe doesn’t have that type of dedication.” �SPORTS River Valley’s Jacob Brown Page A10 Tuesday, June 14, 2011 River Valley’s Katelyn Birchfield River Valley lands eight on All-OVC baseball, softball teams All-OVC baseball Wimmer Ty.
