New Boston Superintendent Mike 

Staggs said all did not go as he had 

hoped following the April meeting 

of the Ohio School Facilities Commission, 

in Columbus, on Thursday. 

Now Staggs is accusing the OSFC 

of discriminating against lowincome 

school districts, wasting 

taxpayer dollars and playing politics 

to delay construction of New 

Boston’s new K-12 school building. 

Staggs last met with employees of 

the OSFC on April 12, along with 

four other local school districts. He 

said OSFC Director Rich Murray 

told him a decision about the proposed 

New Boston school building 

site would be made during their 

next meeting scheduled for April

Doing The Right Thing: Students Help Rescue Child 

BY FRANK LEWIS 


Students at Portsmouth East High 

School were off on an adventure to the 

laser light show at the Clark Planetarium 

on the campus of Shawnee State 

University, when another adventure 

delayed their trip. 

As the bus driver was coming over 

Rosemount Road, coming down the 

U.S. 23 side by the Apostolic Church, 

a little boy was spotted. 

Leah Baughman, a teacher at East, 

who was leading the field trip, said,

OSFC Still Has No Answer For NB School

Investigators with the Division of 

State Fire Marshal and the 

Portsmouth Fire Department are 

continuing to search for information 

on two arson cases. 

“We are particularly concerned 

about the April 2, 2010, arson fire on 

20th Street,” Shane Cartmill, public 

information officer for the State Fire 

Marshal’s Office said. “Based on the 

information we’ve received, we 

believe there are more witnesses in 

this case and it is our hope they will 

come forward and share information 

with investigators. We are seeking 

information about the circumstances 

surrounding the fire or the three men 

who were seen near the home at the 

time of the incident.” 

That fire, at 1913 20th St. was followed 

five hours later by a stabbing 

incident at the same location that 

claimed the life of Clifton Miller, 32, 

who had lived in Columbus.

bus driver had to stop suddenly. When 

he got to the other side of the road, 

you could see that he was just standing 

there. We pulled in, and my 

teacher’s aide ran down to see if he 

was alright.” 

“When Herb pulled the bus over, I 

immediately jumped out and went to 

get the kid because I was worried about 

him going across the road, and I kind of 

lost sight of him,” said teacher’s aide 

Lance Davis. “I found him down over 

a little hill in a backyard, so I picked 

him up and just tried to make sure that

Sun and Funland pool buildings in New Boston were razed in November 2009 to prepare the site for the new K-12 New 

Boston school. 

Superintendent Staggs Charges 

Discrimination And Wasteful Spending 

22. Sources inside the OSFC, however, 

indicated as early as last week 

that they might not have an answer 

ready for the meeting, but at least 

expected to establish a timeline for 

New Boston Schools. 

The site in question — the former 

Sun and Funland Pool on Lakeview 

Avenue — was purchased by 

the school in October 2008 for 

about $24,000. One month later, 

voters passed a 7.61 mill tax levy to 

provide 17 percent of the cost to 

build a new K-12 school building 

on that site. The remaining 83 percent 

would be paid by the OSFC. 

Now it’s almost two-years later. 

Voters have been paying for the tax 

levy and many are beginning to 

wonder when they’ll see that new 

school they were promised. 

The OSFC became concerned 

Two Arson Fires Remain 

Unsolved; Help Sought 

Cartmill said the Fire Marshal is 

also seeking tips and details on last 

weekend’s warehouse fire off Spring 

Street, behind King’s Daughters 

Medical Center. 

“Like the 20th Street arson, we 

have received tips from the public 

but we believe there is more information 

out there,” Cartmill said. “We 

want to know more about the young 

man who was seen near the warehouse.” 

That fire broke out early Saturday 

afternoon, April 16. Neighbors said 

the building had stood vacant for a 

long time. The building was gutted 

but firefighters kept the fire from 

spreading to adjacent structures. No 

one was injured. 

Cartmill said anyone with information 

should contact the Division 

of State Fire Marshal or the 

Portsmouth Fire Department. 

FRANK LEWIS can be reached at 

(740) 353-3101, ext. 232 or flewis@heartlandpublications.com 

“In my opinion throughout 

this whole process two things 

are quite obvious. No. 1, 

OSFC has no oversight and 

can spend taxpayer dollars 

however they want. No. 2, 

New Boston is not wealthy 

enough or doesn’t possess 

the political clout to merit 

immediate attention.”

that they would need to 

build a $700,000 retaining wall 

along the hillside. They have asked 

the school to instead explore the 

possibility of building in Millbrook 

Park, across from the New Boston 

Stadium. The commission has even 

ordered a hydrology study of the

The tree of heaven is heck to contend

Ohio’s forests. 

The fast-growing Asian tree, known 

officially as ailanthus, hinders timber

Ohio Woodland Job Corps. 

Others include the buckthorn,

From October through March, 66

Spring Has Sprung In West Portsmouth 

A landscaping project three years ago is paying off for Jerry Hart of Stockham Hill Road in 

West Portsmouth. This 14-by-93 foot area is covered with creeping phlox, a dazzling spring 

flower that covers the slope that Hart mowed for about 35 years, but then decided to plant 

with groundcover. Hart said he started out with about 70 plants and 40 bags of mulch that 

he put down by hand. He also has a watering system he devised by putting holes into a garden 

hose to irrigate the spring flowers.

he was OK. He came right to 

me. He was a good little kid. I 

don’t know where his parents 

are, but I hope everything 

works out for him.” 

Baughman praised the 

efforts of bus driver Herb 

Roe, saying he was determined 

to be proactive and do 

the right thing. 

“He was going up and 

down the street knocking on 

doors trying to arouse help, 

while Mr. Davis comforted 

the child,” Baughman said. 

“My role was just to sit with 

these guys.” 

The students’ itinerary was 

to go to the planetarium, then 

have lunch at Wendy’s on 

Scioto Trail in Portsmouth 

before returning to school and 

be dismissed for the day. 

“They didn’t get to go to 

lunch at Wendy’s … because 

they spent so much time waiting 

for the Sheriff’s Department 

to come and get the 

baby,” a spokeswoman for 

Portsmouth East High School 

said shortly after the child 

was found. “So they had the 

baby on the bus a long time.” 

The school then made plans 

for the students to have lunch 

at Giovanni’s on Harding 

Avenue in Sciotoville when 

they got back. 

“This worked out so well. 

It’s a great story about great 

kids doing the right thing,” 

the spokeswoman said. 

After the sheriff’s office 

and Children Services took 

possession of the child, a 

search began for the parents. 

The students then continued 

on with their trip to the planetarium, 

had lunch at Giovanni’s, 

and returned to the 

school where they gathered in 

a room and discussed the 

experience. 

“From what everyone was 

saying, the little boy came 

running out of the woods,” 

student Emmy Francis said. 

“The little boy was so cute.” 

How did it feel to have the 

baby on the bus? 

“It was so cool. It made me 

feel like home,” Emmy said. 

What kind of an experience 

was finding the baby for stu- 

dent Zachary Russell? 

“Unexpected, random,” he 

said. “I was in the back of the 

bus, and I saw this little kid 

about to get hit by the bus. He 

was just squirming around 

like crazy, like it was nothing. 

He just ran out of the woods. 

He was a nice kid though. He 

had no idea where he lived, 

but he was a nice kid.” 

Student Ryan Skaggs 

summed it all up while he sat 

in a classroom waiting for the 

final bell of the day. 

“It was quite a surprise. It 

isn’t every day that you see a 

kid sliding down a hill.” 

Meanwhile, deputies and 

detectives continued searching 

for a parent, and say they 

FROM A1 

located the mother late in the 

afternoon. 

Captain Shawn Sparks later 

said Tara J. Collett had been 

arrested and charged with 

child endangering. 

As she reflected on the days 

events, Baughman did not hesitate 

to praise the bus driver, her 

teacher’s aide and her students. 

“These kids were cooperative. 

They hugged and comforted 

the little boy and talked 

to him. They had him on the 

bus with us,” Baughman said. 

“I enjoyed going on a field 

trip with this group of kids.”

Forestry officials created 

the corps with $4.4 million in

Also during the meeting the

OSFC Executive Director 

Rich Murray explained that 

the land study was contracted 

two weeks ago, long before 

the council made its ruling. 

He said in addition to the Park 

site, the study also will reexamine 

flooding concerns at 

the current building site. 

“We’re looking through 

that entire area to make sure 

we understand where the 

floodway is, because the 

floodway cannot be built on,” 

Murray said. “This sense that 

we should have known weeks 

ago what we know today just 

doesn’t work for me. It may 

tive in the trees we would like 

to see. The harsh winter kept 

us from doing all we would 

liked to have done with that.” 

The princess tree, scientifically 

called paulowfia, an oriental 

tree that people plant in 

their yards, threatened to 

crowd out more desirable 

trees in the forest. 

“We used a certified herbicide 

at the base of the trees, 

and hopefully that will kill 

them out. We will follow up 

on this with the new group 

coming in in June,” Jester 

said. 

He said workers in the 

corps helped foresters clear

but it doesn’t work for me.” 

The site study is expected 

to be complete within two 

weeks, and Murray said it will 

give the commission more 

information to discuss the 

issue during its May meeting. 

“In my opinion throughout 

this whole process two things

Most of the workers, he 

said, were from the 

Portsmouth area, young people 

“filled with vigor and 

energy.” 

Clark Distel, 23, of West 

Portsmouth, is one of them. 

He has a degree in wildlife 

and recreation and forestry 

works in as a part of that. It 

being a tough job market last 

fall, he jumped at the chance 

for a job with the corps.

and to make some money as 

well,” Distel said.

GUEST COMMENTARY 

During National Volunteer Week 

the American Cancer Society 

acknowledges its volunteers 

BY ROBERT PASCHEN 

National Volunteer Week has been 

under way this week and the American 

Cancer Society acknowledges the more 

than 3 million volunteers nationwide 

who are working every day to help create 

a world with less cancer and more 

birthdays. 

“The success of everything we do is 

attributed to the incredible volunteer 

base,” said Yvette Livers, regional vice 

president of the American Cancer Society, 

Ohio Division. “Our special events, 

programs for cancer patients, and all of 

the other areas we work in would not be 

successful, or possible, if we did not get 

the continuous support from volunteers.” 

Volunteers are the foundation of the 

American Cancer Society. They have 

been important because they have 

enabled the American Cancer Society to 

help save lives, while fulfilling their 

own. Volunteers impact the community 

in ways that could not be done without 

their personal commitment. 

National Volunteer Week is an annual 

celebration to recognize and thank 

America’s volunteers and call public 

attention to all they do to improve communities 

nationwide. It began in 1974 

when President Richard Nixon signed an 

executive order establishing the week as 

an annual celebration for volunteering. 

The occasion is sponsored by the Points 

of Light Foundation and Volunteer Center 

National Network. 

This one week is celebrated annually 

during the third full week of April, unless 

Easter or Passover occurs, then the week 

is moved to the fourth week of April. 

Volunteers assist the Society in a number 

of different ways. Some of them 

include: 

Relay For Life — More than 3.5 million 

people, including 500,000 cancer 

survivors, participate in the world’s 

largest movement. Funds raised benefit 

the American Cancer Society’s work to 

end cancer. Volunteers from teams take 

turns walking laps during this overnight 

community event. Relay honors those 

who have battled cancer, remembers 

those who lost the battle and gives

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 

— As the Society’s premier event to 

raise funds and awareness to fight breast 

cancer, 500,000 people across the country 

participate in this inspiring, non-competitive 

walk each year. This event 

unites communities to honor and celebrate 

breast cancer survivors, educate 

women about the importance of early 

detection and prevention and raises 

money to fund lifesaving research and 

support programs to provide hope and 

help save lives from breast cancer. 

Patient programs and services — 

Dedicated Society volunteers provide 

direct assistance and service to people 

facing cancer in a variety of ways. Look 

Good Feel Better, Reach to Recovery, 

Road to Recovery, Man to Man prostate 

cancer support groups and a number of 

breast cancer support groups are some of 

the many programs that volunteers provide 

help with.

Casinos in Columbus — 

Vote no on Ballot Issue 2 

Vote no on Issue 2; stop butchering/bloating 

the Constitution of the State of Ohio! 

An open letter to Sens. Goodman and Hughes, 

State of Ohio legislature: 

If the Honorable Mr. Goodman, and the 

Honorable Mr. Hughes, members of the Ohio 

Senate, had analyzed the situation properly, 

they could have devised a ballot issue that 

would clean up the situation, rather than the 

one they did present, that simply sweeps the 

crumbs under the edge of the carpet. 

A proper ballot issue would have repealed 

the constitutional amendment that voted in 

casinos last November — it would have 

expunged Section 6 of Article XV, to the 

extent that it applies to casinos, and at the 

same time, it would have enacted suitable legislation, 

if required, to direct members of the 

gambling industry to build casinos in a manner 

suitable to any community selected and 

approved for such a facility. Authority should 

be granted for any community to negotiate 

directly with any gambling casino. 

A constitution is a document wherein grand 

statements of policy are memorialized — to 

guide legislators in their efforts to formulate 

laws. 

The use of amendments, as permitted by a 

section of the constitution, is for modifying a 

part of the constitution that has been shown by 

experience to need some change; or to add a 

new, general policy that is needed because 

new circumstances have evolved. 

The current situation, involving an immediate 

attempt — through Issue 2 — to amend an 

amendment, is certainly additional evidence 

that the question — casino or no casino? — is 

a question that should not now, or ever, be elevated 

to a section of the Constitution of the 

State of Ohio.

Managing Editor 

Matters such as gambling, which a casino 

facilitates, might be included in general terms 

in a constitution — to permit gambling, or to 

prohibit gambling. 

Prior to Issue 3, which was on the ballot in 

November 2009, there was no article or section 

of the Constitution of the State of Ohio 

that prohibited gambling in general; therefore, 

there was no need to amend the constitution in 

any way to permit it, in a casino or otherwise. 

An earlier amendment, that had authorized 

the state lottery and presented some specific 

limitations on bingo games, was the only content 

of section 6 of Article XV. 

The Ohio Revised Code (ORC) to date has 

not included any section or chapter that covers 

casinos in any way. There are a few items in 

the ORC regarding particular situations related 

to gambling in municipalities, but none of 

those items is related at all to construction or 

operation of casinos. The ORC is the document 

that should be used for legislation that 

gives particulars about casinos. 

The members of the gambling industry, able 

and willing to spend millions of dollars, 

pushed for the casino amendment, certainly to 

insure that, by getting it into the constitution, 

the difficulty of modifying or curtailing the 

construction of casinos, by making a change to 

the constitution, would prevent any but a 

strong, serious effort from those opposed to 

casinos. 

Vote no on Issue 2 in May 2010! We need to 

go back to the “drawing board;” the casino 

issue must be obliterated from the constitution, 

not simply smeared around therein. 

An injunction may be obtained from the 

appropriate court, if necessary, to bring action 

to a halt pending the transfer of the complete 

wording on casinos out of the constitution and 

into appropriate legislation.

Festival choir 

presents worship 

concerts 

The Scioto County Festival 

Choir will present worship concerts 

this week in Portsmouth

today at 7 p.m. at Ironton First 

United Methodist Church and 

in Portsmouth at Cornerstone 

United Methodist Church at 3 

p.m. Sunday. There is no admission 

charge for either event. 

This spring’s worship concerts 

have a strong southern 

gospel flavor with the title 

coming from Mosie Lister’s 

classic “I’m Feeling Fine.” The 

choir will again be under the 

direction of Gail Thornton and 

accompanied by Rebecca 

Climer and Dan Ross. Dr. 

Rhoni Maxwell-Rader will be 

feature soloist on the old gospel 

quartet standard “Just a Little 

Talk with Jesus,” and Penny

gospel classic, “Sweeter as the 

Day Goes By,” and Dan Ross 

will add emphasis vocally to 

the gospel message “We Sure 

Do Need Him Now.” The 

choir’s ensemble group will 

present a favorite from a recent 

Gaither recording, “He’s a Personal 

Savior,” and the whole 

choir will lift your spirits with 

arrangements of “It Will Be 

Worth It All,” “My Savior First 

of All,” and “Everybody Will 

Be Happy.” The service closes 

with the Choir’s testimony, 

“Until then my heart will go on 

singing,” from the great old 

gospel song “Until Then.” 

If your spirit could use a lift 

be sure to worship with the 

Scioto County Festival Choir 

this weekend.

Here in 

Ohio we 

have four 

seasons. In 

the land 

w h e r e 

D a v i d 

lived, they 

have two: 

the rainy 

season and 

the dry. The 

rainy winter 

months 

produce lush, green fields 

form November to April. During 

the usually rainless summer 

from May to October, the 

plants go dormant and the 

landscape turns brown. During 

the summer, most shepherds 

must search hard to find 

decent grazing for their flocks. 

The best land is used by 

farmers for crops and is 

strictly off-limits to sheep 

and goats. They must graze 

in marginal land where good 

food is not abundant, and 

sometimes travel long distances 

to find even that. 

I wonder when David wrote 

Psalm 23 — “The Lord is My 

Shepherd.” Maybe it was in 

the rainy season when he 

could actually see the green

yes! “The Lord is my shepherd, 

I shall not want” is a 

statement of faith. This is a 

song we can sing when we are 

far away from the grass we are 

looking for. It is a song we can 

sing when the green pastures 

are right there. The song of 

faith is ours to sing all year 

long. We say, “the Lord is my

With spring just around the 

corner, that familiar anticipation 

of warmer weather and 

long Sunday drives with the 

windows down has returned. 

After a long winter of cold 

temperatures and likely snowfall, 

getting outside and driving 

in the warm sum is a luxury 

drivers across the country 

have earned. 

But as enjoyable as that first 

Sunday drive can be, it can 

also prove disastrous for vehicle 

owners who don’t prepare 

their cars or trucks before hitting 

the open road. 

An industry leader in motor 

oil, offers the following tips to 

drivers about to ready their 

ride for that first warm weather 

road trip of the season. 

• Give your car a fresh 

start. Many men, women and 

children feel rejuvenated once 

the warm air of spring finally 

arrives. Vehicle owners can 

give their cars and trucks a 

similar fresh start with a few 

simple changes to their vehicle 

maintenance routine. 

One way drivers can make a 

profound impact on their vehicles 

this season is to address 

In the world of tires, “low 

rolling resistance” is a lot like 

health care. It’s a topic that 

affects nearly all adults, but 

the majority of consumers are 

not very well versed about the 

subject. 

This is partly because tires 

have long been put on the back 

burner. Consumers know their 

tires are round and have tread 

patterns, but most don't want 

to think about them until those 

treads start to wear or there's a 

flat. 

Well, as Bob Dylan sort of 

sang, “The Tires, They are a- 

Changin.’” And a lot of this 

metamorphosis is directly 

related to environmental 

issues. Nearly every hybrid 

vehicle now comes equipped 

with low rolling resistance 

(LRR) tires, which are 

designed to minimize the ener- 

Though the issue has largely 

stopped grabbing headlines 

and has simply become a fact 

of life, the cost of fuel is likely 

to be on the rise again in this 

year. So says the United States 

Energy Information Administration 

(EIA), whose Short- 

Term Energy Outlook expects 

the price of crude oil to substantially 

increase in 2010 and 

2011. Crude oil averaged $62 

per barrel in 2009, a figure 

While everyone wants to 

conserve fuel, many drivers are 

still driving in ways that make it 

difficult to do. The following 

are some of the common mistakes 

vehicle owners make: 

• Idling. Cars get zero miles 

per gallon when idling, so make 

sure the car isn’t motionless 

when the engine is running. 

• Choice of tires. Some tires 

promise high performance and 

deliver just that. However, such 

tires can require more energy to 

move on the road (which is 

known as rolling resistance) 

than regular tires, wasting fuel 

in the process. 

• Choice of fuel. If the vehicle 

manual recommends using 

the lubricants they use to keep 

their car running strong. Unbeknownst 

to many vehicle owners, 

conventional motor oils 

slow starting rpm while 

restricting oil flow to critical 

engine parts and increasing 

wear on bearings and rings. 

However, synthetic motor oils 

provide significant performance 

benefits over their conventional 

counterparts thanks 

in large part to their superior 

resistance to varnish and 

sludge development. That 

superior resistance enables 

engines to run cleaner with 

synthetics, providing better 

fuel economy for those long 

Sunday drives while offering 

more wear protection in the 

meantime. 

• Routinely check tire 

pressure. Poorly inflated tires 

are often a silent assassin. 

While nearly everyone can 

hear a clunky engine or notice 

smoke coming out from 

underneath a vehicle’s hood, 

few people ever recognize that 

their tires are poorly inflated. 

That’s unfortunate, as poorly 

inflated tires force the engine 

to work harder, decreasing fuel 

gy wasted as heat while the 

tire rolls down the road. A 

wide array of manufacturers 

are also developing LRR tires 

(in lieu of standard models) for 

gas-powered cars and trucks. 

The overall result: better 

fuel efficiency. In fact, says 

Mark Chung, director of corporate 

planning and strategy 

for a major tire company, studies 

have shown that for a vehicle 

averaging 15,000 miles a 

year, fuel savings (figured at 

$3 per gallon) on LRR tires 

will be approximately $100 

annually. 

“Think of a bicycle,” says 

Chung. “It takes more energy 

to pedal a bike when the tires 

have less air because more 

rubber is hitting the road. The 

same theory applies to your 

car. A lot of energy is used to 

overcome rolling resistance, 

EIA expects to escalate to 

roughly $80 and $84 per barrel 

in 2010 and 2011, respectively. 

The escalating cost of crude 

oil figures to hit the nation’s 

drivers at the pump, where the 

EIA predicts a substantial 

increase in the price of regular 

grade gasoline. While the cost 

of fuel averaged $2.35 per gallon 

in 2009, the average gallon 

fuel could cost drivers $2.84 in 

2010 and $2.96 in 2011. While 

a higher octane fuel, use it. 

Using lower octane fuel might 

cost less at the pump, but that 

lower octane fuel will often 

force the engine to work harder 

to achieve the same performance. 

SPRING ON THE ROAD 

Add length to your automobile’s life 

With the economy on the rebound 

after the country’s worst financial 

times in decades, many a smart vehicle 

owner is looking to get more bang 

for their vehicle buck. In lieu of quick 

trade-ins, more and more vehicle 

owners are applying the lessons they 

learned from the recession to their 

vehicles and trying to make their purchases 

last longer. 

According to the automotive 

experts at the non-profit National 

Institute for Automotive Service 

Excellence (ASE), today’s vehicles 

are designed with long-lasting reliability 

in mind, making it easier for 

vehicle owners to get more and more 

out of their vehicle purchase. To do 

just that, consider the following tips 

courtesy of ASE. 

• Find a repair shop that suits your 

needs. Motorists often cite the difficulty 

in finding a reliable mechanic 

they feel they can trust. A courteous 

staff that’s willing to answer your 

questions is a good starting point, as 

Get your ride ready 

for spring road trips 

efficiency and taxing the 

engine as a result. But keeping 

tires properly inflated is a 

snap. Simply consult your 

vehicle manual for recommended 

tire pressure, and keep 

the tires at the recommended 

level. Though it might not 

seem like much, drivers will 

instantly notice a difference in 

their vehicle’s performance, 

particularly when they hit the 

open road and put the pedal to 

the metal. 

• Stick to your maintenance 

schedule. Drivers tend 

to drive more once the weather 

starts warming up. With no 

snow on the ground and warm 

air to fill up the car, a road trip 

is far more attractive in the 

warmer months than it is when 

winter is rearing its ugly head. 

Vehicle owners can keep 

their cars running strong this 

spring by strictly adhering to 

their vehicle maintenance 

schedule. This has even gotten 

easier in recent years, as many 

vehicle manufacturers are suggesting 

longer intervals 

between tune-ups and oil 

changes, resulting in less trips 

to the mechanic. 

so gas mileage suffers (and 

more C02 is emitted) as a 

direct result. This is the reason 

properly inflated LRR tires, 

which provide the least 

amount of resistance against 

the road, are gaining acceptance 

across the U.S.” 

According to Chung, manufacturers 

of LRR tires adhere 

to the same federal guidelines 

used to control the traction, 

treadwear and temperature 

resistance of every other type 

of tire. So for eco-conscious 

and budget-conscious drivers 

who truly want to maximize 

their mileage, the shift to low 

rolling resistance tires is a popular 

upgrade. 

Some manufacturers have 

mastered the LLR art while 

others are still learning. And 

many original equipment and 

replacement tires still lack 

this might seem like a tough 

pill to swallow, the EIA notes 

these figures take the country’s 

ongoing economic recovery 

into consideration. So while 

the higher cost of fuel might 

cause some to cringe, the 

economy’s recovery might just 

make those costs easier to handle.

check the shop walls for any past

It’s also a good idea to check what 

vehicles the mechanics are currently 

working on. If the vehicles in the 

parking lot are equal in value to your 

own, that’s a good sign. 

• Do the small things to save fuel. 

Sticking to the maintenance 

schedule can also make those 

Sunday drives more enjoyable. 

• Give your car a good 

wash. Every vehicle owner 

wants their car to look good, 

especially when warm weather 

arrives and jaunts to the beach 

become the norm. But a car 

wash can not only benefit a 

car’s appearance, it can also

About 187,000 

Ohio homes get 

heating cost help 

COLUMBUS — The state 

says about 187,000 lowincome 

households received 

help with heating costs from 

November through March, 

about 7,000 more than the 

previous year. 

Ohio Department of Development 

Director Lisa Patt- 

McDaniel said Friday that the 

state spent roughly $45 million 

on the Home Energy 

Assistance Program for winter 

2009-2010, an average of 

about $240 per household. 

The program provides help 

once per heating season to 

low-income residents whose 

heat has been disconnected or 

is close to being disconnected 

or who are low on bulk fuel. 

Ohio, Michigan 

tie in governors’ 

census wager 

COLUMBUS — The governors 

who made a contest 

out of it say people in Ohio 

and Michigan have been 

equally good about returning 

their 2010 U.S. Census forms. 

Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland 

and Michigan’s Jennifer 

Granholm on Friday declared 

a tie in their bet to see which 

state would have a higher 

mail-in participation rate for 

the census. Census officials 

say 75 percent of households 

in both states completed and 

sent back their surveys by 

Thursday, the Earth Day 

deadline set by the governors. 

The winning state was supposed 

to donate its official 

tree for planting in the loser 

on Arbor Day, April 30. The 

governors now say they’ll 

each plant their own tree on 

that day. 

Strickland says both states 

are winners, beating the 71 

percent U.S. average response 

rate for the census. 

Man arrested 

for daughter’s 

1983 killing 

SAN BERNARDINO, 

Calif. — A man has been 

arrested in Ohio on suspicion 

of smothering his 5-year-old 

daughter 27 years ago in 

Southern California. 

Cold-case detectives arrested 

56-year-old Charles 

Austin on Wednesday night 

at a bar in Middletown, Ohio 

— one day after he was 

charged with murder in San 

Bernardino County. 

He was being held in Ohio 

pending an extradition hearing. 

Prosecutors claim the 

divorced Austin smothered his 

daughter, Kelly, in March 

1983 while she visited the 

home he shared with his parents 

in Highland. 

Austin told investigators he 

discovered the girl in his bed 

with a pillow over her head. 

At the urging of Kelly’s mother, 

Joyce, investigators revisited 

the case in 2001 and 2003. 

They concluded the girl was 

smothered but couldn’t find 

Austin until this week. 

Justice: Technology 

challenges control 

of jury members 

COLUMBUS — An Ohio 

Supreme Court justice says 

judges’ control of the jury 

process faces serious challenges 

from smart phones, 

social media and constantly 

updated websites. 

Justice Judith Ann 

Lanzinger said Friday it’s 

more difficult to maintain 

what she calls pristine jurors 

because people are used to 

tweeting, updating Facebook 

and telling the world what 

they’re doing. 

Lanzinger says the judicial 

system may be losing a generation 

of potential jurors 

who won’t serve because they 

can’t abide by rules restricting 

their technology use during 

a trial. 

The justice, speaking at 

the annual meeting of the 

Ohio Jury Management 

Association, says judges 

need to address these issues 

to continue to ensure defendants 

receive fair and impartial 

trials. 

Acquittal in 

case of gates 

stolen from crypts 

COLUMBUS — An Ohio 

jury has found a man not 

guilty in the theft of 100pound 

bronze gates from a 

historic mausoleum. 

Forty-one-year-old Mark 

Mitchell was arrested by 

Columbus police in October 

after he sold scrap metal dealers 

pieces of the gates from 

Green Lawn Abbey, which 

was built in 1927. He spent 

58 days in jail until he was 

able to post bond. 

Mitchell testified he discovered 

the metal bars and 

ornamental parts inside a 

duffel bag thrown in a trash 

bin and was unaware they 

were stolen items. 

A jury in Columbus 

acquitted him on Thursday 

of a charge of receiving 

stolen property. 

Mitchell says he’s relieved 

but feels some bitterness. He 

now lives in Nolanville, Texas. 

Police to 

consider charges 

in disappearance 

XENIA — Authorities say 

they’ll discuss whether there 

should be criminal charges in 

the aftermath of their search 

for a 31-year-old Ohio 

woman found in Florida with 

a male friend. 

Police in Xenia in southwest 

Ohio will consult with 

prosecutors. Police Capt. 

Scott Anger says that Tiffany 

Tehan and Tre Hutcherson

daughter was 

reported missing Saturday.

considered to 

announce executions 

DAYTON — A spokeswoman 

says Ohio’s prison system 

has contemplated using 

Twitter to announce when an 

execution has been completed. 

However, Communications 

Director Julie Walburn at the 

Department of Rehabilitation 

and Correction says she’s 

concerned that tweeting about 

an inmate’s time of death may 

be considered in poor taste. 

She says the department 

still hasn’t decided how to use 

Twitter and other social media 

to disseminate news. 

Walburn says she’s focused 

on trying to get the word out 

about executions quickly. 

When condemned inmate 

Darryl Durr died by lethal 

injection at 10:36 a.m. Tuesday, 

a news release was emailed 

to media outlets one 

minute later. 

No charges for 

cops who thought 

body was deer 

CLEVELAND — A prosecutor 

has decided no criminal 

charges will be filed against 

two Cleveland police officers 

who drove by a woman’s body, 

mistaking it for a dead deer. 

Mayor Frank Jackson’s 

office said in a statement 

Thursday that City Prosecutor 

Victor Perez determined the 

case was a matter of police 

performance and not a violation 

of criminal law. 

The officers’ actions will 

now be reviewed by public 

safety officials. Safety Director 

Martin Flask says the investigation 

should be finished next 

week, following a hearing. 

A highway crew sent to 

Interstate 90 where the officers 

thought they’d seen a 

deer carcass discovered the

fix made for cars 

with roof racks 

CLEVELAND — The 

Ohio Turnpike says it has 

fixed toll plaza scanners so 

cars with bikes or luggage on 

the roof won’t be charged the 

higher toll for taller trucks 

and vans. 

New toll rates that took 

effect last fall took into consideration 

how tall vehicles 

are. But laser scanners used 

to measure vehicle height 

caused the toll plazas to spit 

out the more expensive tickets 

to cars carrying items on 

top, and motorists complained 

about the price difference 

of up to $10. 

Toll collectors had been 

recalculating the tolls when

‘Green’ becomes more than just a marketing pitch 

By DAN SEWELL 

AP Business Writer 

CINCINNATI — Going green 

has become good business. 

Just look at store shelves: 

Sales of “green” products, 

such as organic foods and natural 

personal care items, have 

jumped 15 percent since 2006, 

according to research firm 

Mintel International. 

A wave of promotion is hitting 

consumers during this 

week’s 40th anniversary Earth 

Day observances: Hanes says 

it can put you in eco-friendly 

underwear, Frito-Lay offers 

Sun Chips from a bag you can 

toss in a compost pile, and Target 

stores invite you to use 

their recycling bins. 

Some promotions sound 

more like image-buffing than 

Earth-saving, and big companies 

still have a long way to go 

to significantly reduce their 

impacts on air, water and other 

resources. But environmentalists 

say the drivers of American 

consumer culture are starting 

to make real strides. 

“It’s a far cry from where we 

were,” said Elizabeth Sturcken, 

who manages corporate 

State Briefs 

partnerships for the Environmental 

Defense Fund. “Companies 

are seeing the economic 

value of going green.” 

It’s not just products. Cutting 

lighting and heating costs, 

using less packaging, streamlining 

transportation to save 

gas, recycling more instead of 

throwing away — those all 

help both the environment and 

the bottom line. 

“It would be easy to say that 

companies really care about 

the environment only in the 

third week of April,” said Joel 

Makower, a consultant and 

executive editor of Greener 

World Media Inc. “But most 

big companies have been taking 

significant steps. ... The 

fact is, they’re doing it for all 

the right business reasons.” 

The behemoth that might 

drive even more serious 

improvements is retailer Wal- 

Mart Stores Inc. It’s urging its 

suppliers to reduce 20 million 

metric tons of greenhouse gas 

emissions by the end of 2015, 

on top of its own moves to build 

more energy-efficient stores, 

use more alternative fuels in its 

trucks, and reduce packaging. 

Shopper Jim Farmer, 68, 

voiced his approval while looking 

through Earth Day-themed 

aisles recently at a West 

Chester, Ohio, Supercenter. 

“I think Wal-Mart is trying 

to help, and that’s great,” 

Farmer said. “I have children 

and grandchildren, and we 

want to make the Earth a better 

place for them.” 

While surveys show that 

many consumers want to buy 

environmentally friendly products, 

the Great Recession made 

them reluctant to pay more for 

them, dampening what had 

been rapid sales growth. 

Mintel International says 

sales of natural and organic 

foods and beverages rose 24 

percent in 2006-’08, then 

slowed to less than 2 percent 

last year; sales of green personal 

care products jumped 18 

percent in ‘06-’08, but only 1.2 

percent last year. 

Wal-Mart tells shoppers in 

promoting its environmental 

moves that the cost savings 

are passed on in low prices: 

“not just Earth-friendly, we’re 

also being wallet-friendly.” 

And P&G’s current “Future 

Friendly” campaign touts 

both the environmental and 

“It would be easy to say that companies really care about the 

environment only in the third week of April. But most big companies 

have been taking significant steps. ... The fact is, they’re doing it for 

all the right business reasons.” 

Joel Makower, consultant and executive editor of Greener World Media Inc. 

financial benefits of products 

such as Tide Cold Water 

detergent, which curtails the 

toll on utility bills of heating 

washer water. The consumer 

products giant also is giving 

coupons for its green products, 

and pledges to reach 50 

million households with educational 

information. 

That’s only part of a sustainability 

drive that P&G has 

made companywide. In one 

effort, it created a unit three 

years ago to find new uses for 

byproducts and leftovers that 

would otherwise go into incinerators 

and landfills. 

So now, Clairol hair coloring 

ingredients help make tires 

shine, Duracell batteries help 

make bricks, and materials 

from Pampers diapers and 

Always maxi pads absorb 

industrial leaks and spills. 

Scott Burns, who heads the 

Distel said Thursday the scanners 

have been adjusted in 

time for the busy summer 

travel season so the correct 

tolls are charged. 

Ohio hometowners 

rally to keep 

Grant on $50 

CINCINNATI — Folks in 

southern Ohio are mounting a 

counterattack against a congressional 

proposal to replace 

native son Ulysses S. Grant 

with Ronald Reagan on the 

$50 bill. 

Politicians have passed resolutions, 

businesses put up 

signs, and there’s a Facebook 

page for the cause of leaving 

the image of the Civil War 

general and president as it is. 

A bill in the U.S. House seeks 

to put Reagan — the late 40th 

president and conservative 

icon — on the 50. 

Grant’s backers will drum 

up more support today with 

events to celebrate his April 

unit, said the program has 

reduced waste disposal by 30 

percent, saving money and 

increasing recycling revenue. 

One area where product 

makers still need to improve, 

activists say, is in telling consumers 

in detail about ingredients 

so they can make their 

own decisions. 

Chris Haack, a Mintel 

consumer market analyst, 

adds that many products that 

claim to be green, natural or 

organic might have only one 

ingredient or material that 

fits the bill. And there aren’t 

consistent standards for 

what qualifies as environmentally 

helpful. 

“There is still a lot of what’s 

called greenwashing out 

there,” Haack said. “There are 

a million labels ... consumers 

are befuddled. They just don’t 

know what to trust.” 

27, 1822, birthday at his Point 

Pleasant birthplace and his 

boyhood hometown of 

Georgetown east of Cincinnati. 

A North Carolina congressman 

wants to honor Reagan 

for the 100th anniversary of 

his birth next year. 

Pitt tells Ohio 

school to lose logo 

TOLEDO — The University 

of Pittsburgh says an Ohio 

high school committed a foul 

on the football field — where 

the school has a panther logo 

that Pitt says is too similar to 

its own. 

The university earlier this 

month ordered Whitmer High 

School in Toledo to stop using 

its panther emblem. 

Washington Local Schools 

Superintendent Patrick Hickey 

doesn’t argue that the logo 

looks pretty much the same as 

the one Pitt owns and says the 

district plans to trademark a 

new panther image. 

With the explosion in green 

promotional claims, the Federal 

Trade Commission is 

reviewing its guidelines for 

environmental marketing. 

Meanwhile, Wal-Mart says it 

has been working with suppliers 

to develop a “Sustainable 

Product Index” to help 

guide consumers. 

David Steinman, a consumer 

health advocate and 

author, urges consumers to 

push companies harder for full 

disclosure and to vote with 

their pocketbooks. 

And Sturcken says the companies 

can do more than just add 

the occasional green product. 

“Ideally, I certainly would 

like to see that every product 

these companies offer is 

green,” she said. “So there are 

no trade-offs with effectiveness 

and pricing and being 

environmentally friendly.” 

But he’s asking the university 

for a break, saying it 

would cost “enormous dollars” 

to remove the current 

logo from facilities including 

the Whitmer football field, 

where the panther is built into 

the artificial turf. 

A Pitt spokeswoman says 

the university can’t comment 

on the matter.

TE Gresham made right choice: football 

By JOE KAY 

AP Sports Writer 

CINCINNATI — Only a 

sophomore in high school, 

Jermaine Gresham had a tough 

decision to make, one that 

would direct his life. 

Basketball? Or football? 

The tall, muscular athlete 

loved basketball. He'd already 

led Ardmore High School to 

the Oklahoma state title game 

twice already, losing both 

times even though he dominated 

inside as a 6-foot-4 center. 

Surely, he could get a free ride 

to college by playing hoops. 

His football coach saw it differently. 

Mike Lloyd sat down with 

Gresham and told him that 

he'd be just another good basketball 

player if he decided to 

go that way. Put him on a football

Jones finishes in 

top 100 at Boston 

Marathon 

By JOHN STEGEMAN 

PDT Sports Editor 

Baseball players aspire to 

play in the World Series, football 

players dream of playing 

in a Super Bowl and soccer 

players yearn for the World 

Cup. 

Every sport has its Mecca 

and for runners the penultimate 

experience is the Boston 

Marathon. 

Blake Jones, 27, of 

Portsmouth competed in the 

2010 Boston Marathon on 

Monday and finished 94th out 

of 22,540 runners with a time 

of 2:32.02. 

If you've ever seen groups 

of young men in Shawnee 

State apparel running through 

town, you've likely seen Jones 

before. Jones has been an 

assistant coach for SSU's 

nationally-ranked cross country 

program for five years and 

before that he ran four years as 

a member of the team, competing 

in the NAIA national 

championship meet in 2004. 

Jones said running for SSU 

in college and remaining 

involved with the team helped 

fuel his interest in running 

marathons. 

"It definitely got me in the 

motion, for sure," he said. "I 

definitely train more now than 

I did (in college). I guess it's 

just getting wiser with age and 

learning that you have to put a 

little more effort in to be better." 

For those interested in competing 

in Boston, registration 

is not as simple as filling out 

and card and paying an entry 

fee. To run in the world's oldest 

annual marathon, competitors 

must first qualify. 

Prospective entrants must

him even 

further. 

"My coach 

told me, 'You

Your future's going to be in

Friday. "I could see the

I just decided 

one day I’d try

Blake Jones 

Boston Marathon runner 

was right. I finally realized 

football was my calling. What 

I could do on the football field 

compared to what I could do in 

basketball was rare, in his 

eyes." 

Good advice. It got him to 

the NFL as a first-round pick 

— the Cincinnati Bengals 

chose him 21st overall on 

Thursday night.

Cavs say give Shaq time 

By ANDREW SELIGMAN 


CHICAGO — It's not easy 

to fade into the crowd when 

you're 7-foot-1, 325 pounds, 

and your name is Shaquille 

O'Neal. 

Yet, "The Big Aristotle" has 

been "The Big Invisible" the 

past two games for the 

Cleveland Cavaliers. 

After a solid playoff opener 

against the Chicago Bulls, 

O'Neal has just 14 points and 

11 rebounds in limited minutes 

over the past two games. 

To that, the Cavaliers said, 

give the big man some time. 

After all, he missed the final 

23 regular-season games 

because of a torn ligament in 

his right thumb. 

"I'm not concerned," 

LeBron James said. "I think 

we know we need him to pick 

up his play and he knows that 

also. No matter who you are 

— no matter if you're the best 

player in the world — if you 

have an eight-week layoff, it's 

definitely going to take a toll 

on you to start. But we're looking 

for him to try to be productive 

as much as he can with 

that layoff, be a force in the 

interior and help us win these 

games." 

The Cavaliers are bent on 

delivering Cleveland its first 

pro sports championship since 

1964, and they're a good bet to 

do just that after going a 

league-best 61-21. 

If they're going to get by the 

Bulls, though, they'll have to 

work for it. 

With a chance to go up 3-0 

in their first-round series, the 

Cavaliers fell behind by 21 in 

Game 3 on Thursday and lost 

108-106 after pulling within 

one in the closing seconds. 

Browns pick Haden, 

a big LeBron fan 

By TOM WITHERS 


BEREA — Fashionable in a 

black jacket with matching 

dress shirt and tie, first-round 

draft pick Joe Haden handled 

every question like a seasoned 

professional during his introductory 

news conference as 

the newest member of the 

Cleveland Browns. 

Haden was polished. Calm. 

Cool. Poised. 

Until he was asked about 

LeBron James. 

"Oh my goodness," Haden 

gushed. "I love LeBron." 

The No. 7 overall pick is an 

unabashed fan of James, the 

NBA superstar and reigning 

league MVP, who is currently 

in Chicago chasing a championship 

with the Cavaliers. 

Haden has followed James for 

years and can't bear the 

thought that his idol could 

leave this summer a free agent. 

"I was so excited about 

Cleveland," Haden said. "I 

was like this, 'Now he can't go 

anywhere because it might 

break my heart.' I'm trying to 

figure out how to get in touch 

with him and text him or 

something and take him out to 

eat and make sure he doesn't 

leave." 

The Browns were thrilled to 

land Haden, a two-time All- 

American who was originally 

recruited as a quarterback by 

Florida coach Urban Meyer. 

But when Haden arrived on 

campus, he quickly learned 

there was another QB ahead of 

him on the depth chart — Tim 

Tebow. 

"This Tebow dude is always 

involved in everything," 

See HADEN, B8 

Detroit, then took a connecting 

flight to join his new team, 

which went out of character 

when it decided that the 

Oklahoma tight end was the 

best fit. It's only the second 

time in franchise history that 

the Bengals took a tight end in 

the first round. 

Gresham, now 6-foot-6 and 

258 pounds, is being counted 

on to open up a one-dimensional 

passing game that 

depends almost entirely upon 

the receivers. The running 

backs and tight ends combined 

for only two touchdown catches 

last season, both by tight 

end J.P. Foschi. 

Gresham caught 66 passes 

for 950 yards and 14 touchdowns 

at Oklahoma in 2008. 

By that point, he already was

Michael Dwyer ■ Associated Press 

Runners cross the start line in Hopkinton, Mass., for the 114th running of the Boston Marathon on Monday. Portsmouth resident and SSU assistant cross country 

coach Blake Jones finished 94th out of more than 20,000 competitors. 

"I think right now we should 

be really confident, really 

loose," Chicago's Joakim 

Noah said. "I like our 

chances." 

The Cavaliers, meanwhile, 

vowed to put forth a better 

effort at the start in Game 4 on 

Sunday and do a better job on 

Derrick Rose, who's averaging 

27.3 points after scoring 31 on 

Thursday. James even said 

some adversity could be a 

good thing, considering they 

swept their way to the Eastern 

Conference finals last year 

before losing to Orlando. 

Even so, they're in good 

position. 

James is averaging 34.3 

points after scoring 40 and 

then 39 the past two games, 

although he was whistled for a 

charge and stripped late in 

Thursday's game. 

Mo Williams is averaging 

17.3 and hit the late 3 that 

pulled the Cavaliers within 

one. And they're getting 16.0 

points and 8.3 rebounds from 

Antawn Jamison in this series. 

As for O'Neal? 

Well, he's been quiet since 

the opener and did not make 

himself available for comment 

on Friday. 

"I've got to get him more 

involved," coach Mike Brown 

said. 

At 38 and a 15-time All- 

Star, O'Neal may be past his 

prime, but he can still be a 

force. He played well during 

the regular season, averaging 

12 points and 6.7 rebounds in 

53 games and helped the 

Cavaliers go 4-1 against the 

Magic and Lakers — two big 

championship obstacles and 

two teams that have given 

them trouble in the past — 

with him in the lineup.

Waverly 17, Portsmouth 4 

Portsmouth avoided the 

mercy-rule but not the loss 

against Waverly on Thursday. 

Harrison Martin was one of 

two Waverly players with 

three hits in the win and 

Derek Roback was 1-for-2 

with a home run. 

Jeremy Scott took the loss 

for PHS but batted 3-for-4.

now so he may still have a 

little bit of rust on him, but 

right now, he's good to go 

for as long as we need him." 

The Cavaliers were eyeing 

a championship when 

they made the offseason 

trade with Phoenix, hoping 

O'Neal could help them get 

by Dwight Howard and the 

Magic and, ultimately, capture 

the title. 

At the moment, Brown is 

having a tough time working 

Shaq back into the rotation. 

"If I feel like if there's a 

group out there that's playing 

well and he's not part of 

that group, I'll let that group 

run," Brown said. "I'll let a 

group that's playing well 

run for as long as they can 

before making changes so 

I'm not going to get him out 

on the floor if I think it's 

going to hurt the team. But I 

need to try to figure out 

ways to get him some longer 

stretches on the court." 

NOTES: James reiterated 

that he should not have been 

called for a charge late in 

Thursday's game. "I think I 

was in the right," he said.

within a certain period 

of time before the date of the 

Boston Marathon they 

choose to run. 

Jones qualified by finishing 

16th in the Columbus 

Marathon, the first and only 

marathon he competed in 

before Boston. 

"I don't even know why I 

wanted to do it," Jones said. 

"I just decided one day I'd 

try it and went and tried it. I 

qualified so I figured I'd better 

go run cause I didn't want 

to qualify again." 

After building confidence 

in Columbus, Jones had high 

hopes for Boston but even he 

never believed he would finish 

in the top 100. 

"My goal going in was just 

to finish in the top 1,000...," 

he said. "When I rounded the 

corner on mile 22 someone 

told me I was in 85th and I 

just kind of looked at him 

did for Rose in Game 3. "It's an 

all-league thing these days," he 

said. "Everyone's an MVP 

when they get to the free throw 

line." ... Bulls backup G Acie 

Law was helped off the court 

after suffering an apparent 

ankle or Achilles tendon injury 

in a pickup game after practice. 

He has not played in the postseason.

like, 'Yeah right, dude. There 

ain't no way.'" 

Along with his solid finish, 

the third fastest of any 

Ohio runner competing, 

Jones said the experience 

was unique. 

"There wasn't a point 

where there wasn't a spectator," 

Jones said. "There were 

just spectators going nuts 

and probably 90 percent of 

them may not even have a 

clue what running is. They 

just know you're out there 

doing something they probably 

can't do so they come out 

and yell for you." 

Jones also hoped to finish 

in under two hours and 30 

minutes but acknowledged 

Boston's course is as difficult 

as it is famous. 

"I don't know if the course 

would be so difficult if it was 

only a 5k course," he said. 

"But all the hills start at 

about mile 18 so you've got 

18 miles under your belt and 

then you start rolling 

through the hills. It definitely 

bites you... The hill they

victory, but we'll see — I 

mean, the board speaks for 

itself." 

Scarlet won the coin flip to 

determine which side had the 

overall No. 1 pick. Then 

Sanzenbacher, after much 

deliberation, said he would 

take a quarterback and 

picked two-year starter Terrelle 

Pryor, a strong early 

contender for national 

awards in the fall. 

It wasn't as momentous as 

the St. Louis Rams taking 

Oklahoma's Sam Bradford 

No. 1 on Thursday night, but 

it had about as much drama. 

"Nothing surprises you 

when guys 20-year-olds are 

picking," Tressel said later. 

"There was nothing earthshaking." 

Pryor threw two long 

touchdown passes in the 

span of 30 seconds a year 

ago in the Gray's 23-3 win 

over the Scarlet. This year, 

he'll be wearing the other jersey. 

Sort of. In honor of the 

memory of the wife of for- 

and goes to 21. It definitely 

holds up to its name. 

"I improved a little over 

seven minutes (from Columbus) 

and I don't see my self 

improving too much more 

than that. I'll probably try to 

break 2:30 once, maybe 

twice but I don't think I'll 

probably try more than two 

more times." 

Jones isn't sure when he'll 

make his next attempt at 

marathon running, for now 

he's focused on recovering 

from the effects of running 

26.2 miles in a fairly short 

time. 

"I couldn't walk," he said. 

"It took a couple days until I 

until I was walking normal 

again. Going up stairs was 

almost impossible. It hurts." 

The pain will dissipate for 

Jones but etched permanently 

in the records of the 2010 

Boston Marathon will be the 

following notation:

off to raise money

Pryor was asked last week 

what he hoped to get out of 

the Buckeyes' last game until 

kicking off against Marshall 

at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 2. 

"You've just got to have 

fun. I don't know how long 

I'll play, but when I play I'm 

going to look to get the ball 

to whoever's open," Pryor 

said. 

Tressel said the three main 

objectives of the game are 

staying healthy, letting the 

players have a good time and 

providing entertainment for 

fans who are paying $5 a 

ticket instead of the $70 for a 

reserved seat in the fall. 

"I think people just like to

Rolen sparks Reds’ rally 

in 8-5 win over Dodgers 

CINCINNATI — Mike 

Leake was pretty laid-back 

for a guy who had just 

earned his first professional 

win. 

The Cincinnati rookie 

lasted seven innings and 

benefited from a go-ahead, 

two-run double by Scott 

Rolen late in the Reds' 8-5 

victory over the Los Angeles 

Dodgers on Thursday 

night. 

Drafted eighth overall out 

of Arizona State last year, 

Leake was making his third 

pro start — all in the major 

leagues this season. He 

became the first Cincinnati 

starter to win in 2010, but 

his postgame demeanor suggested 

somebody waiting 

for a bus. 

"Not a lot gets to me," 

said the 22-year-old pitcher, 

barely old enough to drink 

the beer his teammates 

showered him with in celebration. 

"I'm excited. I just 

don't show it too much. It 

feels good, not necessarily 

for my first one, but for the 

starters and the team." 

Reds manager Dusty 

Baker was happy to see a 

starter last that long after 

his first two in the series 

couldn't get through the 

sixth. 

"Leake gave us everything 

you can ask for, and 

we got some big runs late in 

the game," Baker said. 

Jay Bruce hit a two-run 

homer in the sixth for the 

Reds, who came from 

behind twice for their seventh 

victory of the year. 

Dodgers left fielder 

Manny Ramirez left in the 

sixth after straining his right 

calf while running out a single. 

Los Angeles manager 

Joe Torre said the slugger 

would be out at least two 

days and possibly the entire 

weekend series at Washington. 

Andre Ethier and pinchhitter 

Garret Anderson each 

had a two-run homer for 

Los Angeles. 

The Dodgers were leading 

5-4 when Rolen smacked a 

two-run double off the leftcenter 

wall with two outs in 

the seventh. Drew Stubbs 

and Ryan Hanigan added 

run-scoring singles as the 

Reds sent nine batters to the 

plate against Los Angeles 

relievers Hong-Chih Kuo 

(0-1) and Ronald Belisario. 

"Four runs with any outs 

is good," Rolen said. "I don't 

want to get too theoretical 

about this, but it probably 

means we're swinging at 

strikes and being aggressive 

in the zone." 

Leake (1-0) allowed eight 

hits and five runs with one 

walk and five strikeouts. 

Francisco Cordero pitched 

the ninth for his sixth save 

in seven opportunities.

Calf strain sends 

Dodgers’ Ramirez to DL 

The Associated Press 

WASHINGTON — Los 

Angeles Dodgers slugger 

Manny Ramirez was placed 

on the 15-day disabled list 

with a strained right calf. 

Ramirez was injured running 

out a single during 

Thursday's game at Cincinnati 

and removed for a pinch 

runner. 

It's the same problem that 

caused the 37-year-old 

Ramirez to miss two starts 

last weekend. 

"It's a recurrence of the 

calf, and we just have to get 

this thing fixed. ... The rationale 

is, if he's better in a week 

or 10 days, we might as well 

do this," Dodgers manager 

Joe Torre said. 

The 12-time All-Star is hitting 

.415 with two homers 

and 12 RBIs. He reached 

1,800 RBIs on Wednesday, 

after recording his 2,500th 

career hit on April 10 at Florida. 

Ramirez is tied with Hall of 

Famer Mike Schmidt for 14th 

on the career list with 548 

home runs. 

Torre informed Ramirez of 

the move after finding him 

hitting taking indoor hitting 

practice before Friday's game 

against the Washington 

Nationals. 

"He was in the cage hitting 

today and I told him to pick 

up a book," Torre joked. 

Torre said Ramirez understood 

the reason the Dodgers 

weren't waiting to see if the 

injury improved in a couple 

of days. 

"When he came in to talk to 

me I said, 'We got to get it 

better.'" Torre said. 

It's the fourth time in his 

18-year career that Ramirez 

has been placed on the DL, 

and the first time since 2002, 

when he fractured his left 

index finger while playing for 

Boston. 

To replace Ramirez on the 

25-man roster, the Dodgers 

recalled outfielder Xavier 

Paul from Triple-A Albuquerque 

before Friday's game 

at the Nationals. Paul was hitting 

.361 with three home 

runs and nine RBIs in 15 

games for the Isotopes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, April 24, 2010: 

This year, you develop a new talent. Not only will 

you find it rewarding, but it also might become an 

excellent second source of revenue. Often, you hold 

yourself back and don’t risk, but this is not a risk. You 

are developing a gift. Your creativity swells when you 

are out of your environment. If you are single, go exotic, 

and you could be delighted by the type of relationship 

you form. If you are attached, plan on that special 

trip you have always talked about. VIRGO understands 

you much better than you think. 

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 

4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult 

ARIES (March 21-April 19) 

★★★★ You have your hands full. If you can visit 

and chat with someone while clearing out a project or 

two, it would be much nicer. If asked, be frank about 

how you feel. The other party wants to know. Tonight: 

Do your own thing. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) 

★★★★★ Where others are stymied by situations, 

you aren’t. In fact, your imagination seems to take off in 

many unanticipated directions. Let go of old grievances. 

Open up to new thoughts and styles. Tonight: If 

you are a charming Bull, it might be very hard to say 

“no” to TUESDAY you. 

04-20-10 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) 

★★★★ Though you might not want to dignify the 

role of couch potato with your presence, you run 

around so much that some heavy downtime fits the 

bill. A partner is changing, and you are adjusting. Venus 

enters your sign today, adding to your allure. Tonight: 

Be with a favorite person. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22) 

★★★★★ Keep talking about what is on your mind. 

If someone doesn’t get it with one set of words and 

expressions, try another style. Eventually, you will get 

through. In the next few weeks, walk away from being 

overly sensitive. Tonight: Hang out with favorite people. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) 

★★★★ Be aware of the hidden costs of a purchase 

or an agreement. Discuss feelings later in the day, when 

you see that another person’s attitude was a passage 

rather than a reality. Tonight: Treat others to dinner or a 

scrumptious dessert.

Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE 

★★★★ You beam, and others might wonder why. 

You might not know exactly, but you feel together. A 

child or budding relationship plays a strong role in 

upcoming events. You cannot run away from this one! 

Tonight: Just don’t be alone. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) 

★★ Just say “no” or cancel plans if you would like 

to. It is wonderful to be reliable, but sometimes even 

you need to be flaky. A partner comes through with 

more understanding than anticipated. Tonight: Screen 

your calls. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) 

★★★★★ Where people are is where the happy 

Scorp can be found. As you meet people, you also sense 

the many possibilities that you have yet to entertain. If 

you are attached, your mate looks at you through new 

eyes. If you are single, someone clearly admires you. 

Tonight: Where the party is. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) 

★★★ Many might look to you as an authority figure. 

Just don’t step up to the plate unless you really 

know what you are doing. Use care with your funds, as 

you might suddenly notice that your accounts are 

lower. Tonight: Out at a concert or ballgame. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) 

MONDAY ★★★★★ 04-19-10 Sometimes you hold yourself back too 

much. Don’t today. Let your mind take off like a magic 

carpet. Whether you decide to plan a vacation or just 

plan a wild party is your call. Let go of constraints, certainly 

self-imposed ones. Tonight: Be free as a bird. You 

can do it. Try it once! 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) 

★★★★ You are such an independent, free spirit that 

once in a while you can accommodate a partner or 

loved one and do exactly what he or she wants to do 

for a day. Both of you could be delighted by the outcome 

and the strength of the feelings. Tonight: Bend 

and go with someone else’s plans. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) 

★★★★★ March to the beat of another person’s 

drum. You might trip, but you feel enlightened to live 

another’s life from his or her perspective. A family 

member or roommate shares his or her respect for the 

way you continue to open up. Tonight: Out and about.

SATURDAY DAYTIME APRIL 24, 2010 

Dear Dr. Brothers: My 

mom is in her 60s, but she 

swears she feels not a day over 

40. I sometimes worry that 

she’s overestimating her abilities 

and is just covering up to 

make me feel better for living 

far away. On the other hand, 

she does seem to be doing better 

than some of her friends 

who are her age — she’s able 

to do a lot more, and she does 

spend time with a younger 

crowd. I know people age differently, 

but can her feeling 

young really be keeping her 

young? — P.K. 

Dear P.K.: Surprisingly, the 

old mantra “You’re only as old 

as you feel” may be close to 

the truth. Although chronological 

age does matter, how your 

mother feels about her age 

does have implications for her 

aging process. According to a 

recent study in the Journal of 

Gerontology: Social Sciences, 

the downsides we associate 

with aging accompany the 

feeling of being older than 

your years. If, like your mother, 

you feel and act younger, 

then it can be easier to maintain 

the abilities of a younger 

person and have confidence in 

those abilities. 

This sense of feeling young 

that your mother has goes 

hand in hand with her happiness 

and wellness, but it’s hard 

to say whether her feeling 

young is causing her to hold 

on to her cognitive and social 

functions, or vice versa. 

Regardless, though, you can 

now trust your mother when 

she says that she feels young. 

Keeping up with new trends 

and invigorating activities certainly 

can contribute to that 

feeling of youthfulness, especially 

via new technologies. So 

encouraging your mother to 

embrace new activities and 

continue to spend time with 

younger friends can only help 

her live a happier and more 

fulfilled life. Learning new 

technologies and challenging 

herself also can help your 

mother improve her cognitive 

abilities and maintain that 

younger feeling longer. 

Dear Dr. Brothers: I’m 

retired and live alone, and until 

recently my dog Riley was my 

constant companion. He lived 

a long, happy life, but sadly 

was diagnosed with cancer last 

year and died just recently. I 

haven’t been able to talk to 

anyone about it, but I’m truly 

grieving his death. I’m worried 

that people will think I’ve lost 

it, being this sad about the 

death of a dog, but he was my 

only close family. How can I 

get over this grief? — A.H. 

Dear A.H.: Many people are 

unwilling or unable to talk 

about the death of a pet 

because the pain is too unbearable. 

They, like you, hope the 

pain will dissipate over time. 

But like any grieving process, 

if you can discuss it more 

openly, maybe you’ll be able 

to get through the pain and 

sorrow a little more easily. You

NFL DRAFT 

Bengals add Florida DE Dunlap 

By JOE KAY 


defensive end missed the 

Southeastern Conference title 

"Right now, I'm just taking all 

that in as motivation and lookdle," 

Zimmer said. 

Dunlap had to convince the 

CINCINNATI — Carlos 

Dunlap insisted he's learned 

from his costly DUI arrest. 

The Cincinnati Bengals 

believed him. 

The Bengals chose the 

defensive end from Florida in 

the second round Friday, looking 

to get another lineman who 

can rush the quarterback. 

They're aware this one must 

grow up before he can grow 

into a regular role with one of 

the league's emerging defenses. 

"He's going to know from 

when he comes in here tomorrow 

what kind of guy we want 

in this program," defensive 

coordinator Mike Zimmer 

said. "He'll know right off the 

get-go." 

The 6-foot-6, 277-pound 

game following a drunken 

driving arrest on Dec. 1. 

Gainesville police found him 

passed out behind the wheel at 

an intersection, prompting the 

school to suspend him. He was 

reinstated three weeks later 

and had two sacks in a Sugar 

Bowl win over Cincinnati. 

Dunlap pleaded no contest 

to driving under the influence 

on Jan. 29, got a year's probation 

and 50 hours of community 

service. 

The court case, his practice 

habits and a penchant for easing 

up during games gave 

teams pause and had analysts 

rating him as no better than a 

second-round pick. 

"Hey, they're going to talk 

about a lot of things," Dunlap 

said, after going to Cincinnati 

with the 54th overall pick. 

ing forward to my NFL career 

and proving everyone wrong." 

Dunlap led the SEC with 9? 

sacks in 2008 and blocked 

three kicks, including one during 

a 24-14 win over Oklahoma 

in the BCS title game. 

He had nine sacks last season, 

when he started at left defensive 

end. 

The Bengals won the AFC 

North last season with a young 

defense that finished fourth in 

the league. One of its few 

weaknesses was an inability to 

get much pressure on the quarterback 

from the middle of the 

line. Zimmer plans to use 

Dunlap at a tackle spot initially. 

"One of the things I've 

talked about in the offseason it 

getting more pressure on the 

quarterback from up the mid- 

Bengals that he wouldn't be a 

problem in Cincinnati, which 

repeatedly got burned by taking 

high-risk draft picks in the 

mid-2000s. 

"That was the only incident 

on my record," Dunlap said. 

"Pretty much, I told them that 

was my first and last incident. 

I learned from it. I apologized 

to everyone." 

The Bengals believed him. 

"The people that we talked 

to said the kid is a tremendous 

kid," Zimmer said. "He's a 3.0 

student. His Wonderlic test 

was off the charts high. And 

everyone we talked to said — 

'this is a one-time shot, the kid 

made a mistake, he's not this 

type of guy at all.' So we really 

feel from the information 

we gathered — he made a mistake."

Haden said. 

Haden switched to wide 

receiver but found himself sitting 

behind Percy Harvin. That's 

one the coaches suggested cornerback, 

a position Haden 

played as well as anyone in college 

football the past two years. 

The 21-year-old knows he 

still has a lot to master before 

he's ready to challenge NFL 

wide receivers. 

"That's a big plus in my 

game," he said. "I've only had 

three years of experience. The 

ceiling is still so high for me as 

a corner. I have so much more I 

can learn, so much more I want 

to learn." 

Haden has begun studying 

New York Jets All-Pro defensive 

back Darrelle Revis, considered 

the game's premier coverage 

corner. 

"I honestly didn't watch too 

much NFL football, but when I 

heard what Revis was doing and

tight ends because he could 

block as well as catch. 

"It gives us more options 

right out of the shoot at tight 

end," offensive coordinator 

Bob Bratkowski said. "There 

hasn't been very many of 

them to come out over the 

past few years that you think 

are going to be really efficient 

in both areas." 

The Bengals' history with 

tight ends hasn't been inspiring 

lately. 

They took Bob Trumpy 

with one of their 12th-round 

picks as an expansion team in 

1968 — not a bad start. They 

took Al Chandler out of Oklahoma 

in 1973. Dan Ross, a 

second-round pick in 1979, 

helped them reach their first 

Super Bowl two years later. 

Rodney Holman went to 

Cincinnati in the third round 

in 1982 and helped them 

reach their other Super Bowl 

in 1988, when they lost to 

San Francisco again. 

They'd drafted only six 

tight ends in the previous 16 

years — Marco Battaglia,

how he was locking down one 

side of the field and they didn't 

want to throw it that way at all, I 

definitely started watching 

him," he said. "I love the way he 

nails receivers on the line. That's 

what I want to do." 

Haden is expected to start as a 

rookie, sliding into the secondary 

opposite corner Eric Wright, 

who sent his new teammate a 

text message welcoming him to 

the Browns. Cleveland needs a 

ball-hawking back and dependable 

corner to handle some of 

the AFC North's top wideouts 

such as Chad Ochocinco, Hines 

Ward and Anquan Boldin. 

Browns president Mike 

Holmgren believes Haden help 

make an immediate impact. 

"I really believe we hit a 

home run," Holmgren said. 

"There has been a lot of speculation 

on what our approach to 

the draft was, what we'd decide 

to do and all that. This young 

guy was in our sights from a 

while ago."

brothers — one currently 

enrolled and playing football at

Haden said he connected with

Florida's Carlos Dunlap (8) celebrates after blocking a filed goal in the 2009 

BCS National Championship game. Dunlap was picked by the Cincinnati Bengals 

in Friday’s second round of the NFL Draft. 

Damian Vaughn, Sean Brewer, 

Matt Schobel, Matt Sherry 

and Chase Coffman — before 

deciding to make Gresham a 

first-round investment. 

Although Gresham hasn't followed 

the Bengals closely, he 

understands the significance. 

He arrived on Friday with as 

many expectations as any 

tight end in team history. 

"I'm OK with that," he said. 

"I just have to be me." 

The Bengals will give him 

a chance to win the starting 

job, although they caution 

that Gresham could need 

some time to get up to speed.
