Wiseman II, 61 50 cents daily TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2012 Vol. 62, No. 77 Craig siblings arraigned on aggravated robbery charges Sarah Hawley shawley@heartlandpublications.com POMEROY — Alleged gas station robbers Alex Craig and Marcy Craig were arraigned in Meigs County Common Pleas Court on Monday following indictment by the grand jury last week. Alex Craig, 26, of Letart Falls, was arraigned on three counts of aggravated robbery and two counts of kidnapping for the in- cidents that occurred between March 30 and April 10. The three counts of aggravated robbery occurred on March 30 at the TNT Pitstop in Syracuse, April 2 at the TNT Pitstop in Chester, and April 10 at the 124 Mart near Pomeroy. The aggravated robbery charges from the robberies at the Chester TNT Pitstop and 124 Mart both carry a gun specification. There is also a gun specification on both counts of kidnapping. The gun specification adds a mandatory three year sentence to be served consecutively if convicted. Each count of aggravated robbery carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, with each count of kidnapping carrying a maximum of eight years. The possible sentence on all charges would be 62 years, with a maximum potential fine of $100,000. Marcy Craig, 37, of Long Bottom, is charged with three counts of aggravated robbery for allegedly serving as an accomplice to her brother. Marcy Craig entered a plea of not guilty to all charges in the indictment. Original charges filed in Meigs County Court against Alex Craig were three counts of aggravated robbery and seven counts of kidnapping. Marcy Craig was charged in county court with seven counts of complicity to kidnapping and three counts of complicity to aggravated robbery. In addition to the three armed robberies in Meigs County, Alex Craig is allegedly responsible for a March robbery in Mason, W.Va., and an April robbery in Millwood, W.Va. Judge Christopher Tenoglia set bond for Alex Craig at $1 million, with 10 percent cash allowed. Herman Carson was appointed to represent Craig. Marcy Craig’s bond was set at $750,000, with 10 percent cash allowed. Craig has retained William Eachus as council. Jeff Finley represented Craig at the hearing today, filling in for Eachus. Pre-trial hearings for both Alex Craig and Marcy Craig have been set for May 21, with a final pre-trial set for June 4. The jury trial for both defendants is scheduled for June 12.

Project MORE stands for Mentoring in Ohio for Reading Excellence. The project’s mission is to significantly improve the reading levels of Ohio’s students with disabilities using 1:1 volunteer reading mentoring.

Jarrell was found deceased on Sunday at his residence just outside of Point Pleasant at 9188 Ripley Rd. by personnel with the Mason County Sheriff’s Department which is leading the investigation. During the course of the investigation, a statement from the Mason County Sheriff’s Department says the juvenile relative was developed as a suspect and had apparently fled in Jarrell’s vehicle after the murder. A Be On The Look Out (B.O.L.O.) was issued for the vehicle to surrounding law enforcement.

RACINE — Racine Grange will join the Ohio Bicentennial Commission in commemorating the upcoming 200th anniversary of the start of the War of 1812 which kept the country independent from Great Britian. The decision came after Emma Ashley, community service chairman, spoke at a recent Grange meeting about the importance of the observance. At the meeting it was voted to purchase a “Don’t Give Up the Ship” flag to be flown locally. It was noted that the flag particularly commemorates the victory of the Battle of Lake Erie by Commander Oliver Hazard Perry over the British Navy. During the Grange meeting Charles Yost gave a report on the decision to close the local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. He said that when a bureaucrat was asked about reopening the office in the future, no reply was made. Meigs Countians now will have to go to other counties to seek out an office where they can get service. The annual Grange baking contest was held which this year was homemade vanilla cupcakes. Emma Ashley was the winner and will participate in the Meigs County Pomona Grange contest later this year. The legislative director reported on the failure of the Mobile Informational Call Act of 2011 which would have permitted access to unwanted phone calls and telemarketers. Also discussed was the recent executive order of President Obama to set up a Rural Council composed of the heads of 23 government cabinet secretaries and agencies, with one of the provisions allowing confiscation of private Lexi Medley property by the government. The effects of the recent Greek financial crisis were discussed. The legislative agent pointed out that the financial problems of Italy and Spain will far surpass those of Greece and have severe ramifications on the U.S. Recent actions by the federal government to send in police forces to arrest people selling raw milk were discussed. It was appointed out that when travel was slow and refrigeration unknown a century or more ago, pas- Caleb Blankenship teurization was necessary to prevent spoilage but that this is no longer necessary. Ohio is one state that also does not allow raw milk sales. The members were polled as to how many use or consume raw milk and everyone had done so without problems. Worthy Ceres Hannah Yost draped the charter in memory of two recently deceased national masters, Kermit Richardson and John Scott. Both were known to members. A eulogy to John Scott was given.

Athens professionals donate toys for hospitalized tots ATHENS — The Athens Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals recently donated an assortment of 38 plush toy animals to O’Bleness Memorial Hospital. The donation is an annual civic project of the Association, according to President Jamie Remy. She noted that doing something for hospitalized children is one of many projects carried out to benefit the community. “We know that for children, it can by scary when you’re in the hospital and not feeling well,” said Remy. “We thought the stuffed animals would make them feel more comfortable during their hospital visit or stay.” Merchants egg hunt a success POMEROY — For many years, the Pomeroy Merchants Association has staged a community Easter egg hunt on the Pomeroy football field. It occurred this year on the day before Easter, and hundreds of children turned out for the hunt. They were greeted by the Easter bunny. The children hunted in age categories with a grand prize going to the finder of the golden egg in each group. Dozens of smaller prizes were given to the children according to the number they found. The finders of the gold eggs were given Easter baskets. The winners were Jesse Jeffers in the youngest group, Lexi Medley in the middle group and Caleb Blankenship in the oldest group. Again this year, Jenny Dunham was chairman of the hunt sponsored by the merchants.

The problem is that I am starting to realize I am a lone “blue” person in a “red” area politically! I have met several men I respected and liked, until we start talking politics — which is hard to avoid in this election year. When I hear things like “communist, socialist, Muslim” and other slurs against the president, I am turned off by their ignorance. Now what? — C.G. Dear C.G.: I can see how disappointing it must be to meet people who otherwise seem to be a good fit with you, only to be shocked by attitudes that you are uncomfortable with. Political attitudes today are quite polarized, as you’ve discovered, but they’ve always been a bit of a taboo when it comes to topics to discuss on a first date. Sex, money and religion round out the old list of what to avoid — but really, is that fun or even practical in today’s world?

There is a chance that he will have far fewer symptoms like those you described if you are willing to give him a second chance. Whatever you valued in him before you met might make it worthwhile for you. (c) 2012 by King Features Syndicate Ohio officials to return exotic animals to widow REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (AP) — State officials will return five surviving exotic animals to a woman whose husband released dozens of wild creatures, then committed suicide. The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced the decision Monday at an agency hearing in which the state was to defend its authority to quarantine the animals — two leopards, two primates and a bear — on suspicion of infectious diseases. A spokeswoman for the agency said the state had exhausted its authority in the case and that the state’s agriculture director would lift the quarantine order that was placed on the animals in October. Medical results released last week showed all five animals are free of the dangerously contagious or infectious diseases for which they were tested. That means the animals can be returned to Marian Thompson of Zanesville, though it’s unclear when. Logistics for retrieving the animals will have to be worked out between Thompson and the Columbus zoo, which has been holding the animals, said agriculture spokesman Erica Pitchford. Once the animals are returned to Thompson, nothing in Ohio law allows state officials to check on their welfare or requires improvements to conditions in which they are kept, Pitchford said. Pitchford said the local humane society could intervene with help from the county prosecutor if there were an investigation into animal cruelty. “While repeated appeals have been made to local authorities to seek a court order to inspect the Thompson party to ensure the safety of the animals and the public, so far, no such local action has been taken,” Pitchford said. Messages were left Monday with the Muskingum County prosecutor and county humane officer. Zoo spokeswoman Patty Peters said the facility must follow certain protocols to prepare for the animals to be handed back to Thompson. For instance, she said, the animals must be sedated for the transfer, but they cannot eat or drink for 24 hours before being given the sedative. Murdered From Page 1 According to Sgt. E.B. Starcher with the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police, the juvenile relative ended up being apprehended on Sunday by Huntington City Police within the city limits of Huntington. Sgt. Michael Baylous, public information officer with the West Virginia State Police, said the juvenile was apprehended without incident and was later transported to the Huntington Detachment of the W.Va. State Police. The state po- lice, including those with the Mason County Detachment, and personnel with the state police crime lab, are also assisting in the investigation. A handgun appears to have been used in the crime, according to Baylous.

It’s got a shiner now. The public face of the service is one of steely professionals in impeccable suits, wearing discreet earpieces and packing even more discreet weapons. Agents are expressionless except for their ever-searching gaze, lethal automatons ready to die for a president. By reputation, stoked by Hollywood myth and the public’s fleeting glances at dark-windowed motorcades, they are anything but party animals. But what happened in Colombia didn’t stay in Colombia. The exposed Secret Service secrets have put the storied agency under a different line of fire, as lawmakers and internal investigators try to get to the bottom of officers’ behavior and any implications for the safety of those they protect, starting with President Barack Obama. Eight Secret Service officers have been fired and three disciplined, and a dozen military personnel have had their security clearances suspended, in the unfolding investigation of sexual misbehavior by agents who traveled to Cartagena, Colombia, this month to set up security for Obama’s visit. The agency says it is also looking into whether agents hired prostitutes and strippers in El Salvador in advance of the president’s trip last year. More reports are emerging of allegedly ribald conduct, off duty on official trips. John Brennan, Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, said Sunday investigators want to know whether there was any time “these activities put at risk either classified information or security.” He said officials are satisfied the Colombian episode did not pose a threat to the president. Obama joked about agents being on a shorter leash in his remarks to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday night. “I really do enjoy attending these dinners,” he said. “In fact, I had a lot more material prepared, but I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew.” Altogether, the perception is forming of frat boys being frat boys, except these ones have top security clearance, access to the president and constant knowledge of his whereabouts. “They’re on the receiving end of this incredibly powerful fire hose” of allegations and rumors, says Eric Dezenhall, a scandal-management consultant and author who counsels corporations and institutions. “They’re going to be under it for a while. You cannot control this torrent.” As a young aide in Ronald Reagan’s White House, Dezenhall looked upon Secret Service agents as “superhuman” and their professional culture “as the coolest thing in the world.” The code words — “Rawhide” for Reagan, “Stagecoach” for the helicopter (and now “Renegade” for Obama) — feed into the cool factor. So does the one thing that most people have known about the trusted band of bodyguards, their willingness to take a bullet for those they protect. Talk about commitment. “I just don’t think their reputation could be much higher,” Dezenhall says. “But, as with happens with everybody now, we’re going to see the humanity in it, which takes some of the mythology away from it.” The Secret Service was formed to chase counterfeiters at the end of the Civil War, a mission it still carries out as part of its portfolio of financial crime investigation. Its protective work began informally, as part-time security for President Grover Cleveland in 1894. After President William McKinley’s 1901 assassination by an anarchist who hid his gun in a handkerchief, Congress put the agency in charge of protecting presidents, then an expanding list The Daily Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Presidents and their families often beef about the confines of a life shadowed by the protective detail. But it’s a gentle complaint because they know the risks of being exposed without them. In the nation’s history, 10 presidents have been victims of direct assaults by assassins, says a Congressional Research Service study of the agency. Four died: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, McKinley and John Kennedy, whose slaying in 1963 was the only assassination on the Secret Service’s watch. “The work you do here is pretty scary,” first lady Michelle Obama said after seeing Secret Service headquarters last year. “All I can say is, after my little tour, ignorance is bliss — I just don’t want to know. “Just tell me when — where — to run.” The book, “In the President’s Secret Service,” tells stories of men behaving badly, but those men were president or vice president, not agents. For all the bawdy tales of Lyndon Johnson and Kennedy, their protectors are portrayed as loyal if overworked and, with some leaders, underappreciated. The author, Ronald Kessler, said in an interview that the Colombian episode “is the biggest scandal in the history of the Secret Service” yet, from his knowledge of how agents conduct themselves, “an aberration.” “So much comes down to somebody with a thumb drive,” he says. “It doesn’t mean that the inherent behavior is new. It means people who want to come after you now have the goodies to do it.” How does a scandal manager manage that? Dezenhall says it may take an “organizational CAT scan” of the service’s leadership and personnel, not mere public relations spin, to get the agency’s reputation back in line with the mythology. “You don’t communicate your way out of this stuff.” David B. Caruso, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — One World Trade Center, the giant monolith being built to replace the twin towers destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks, will lay claim to the title of New York City’s tallest skyscraper on Monday. Workers will erect steel columns that will make its unfinished skeleton a little over 1,250 feet high, just enough to peak over the roof of the observation deck on the Empire State Building. The milestone is a preliminary one. Workers are still adding floors to the socalled “Freedom Tower” and it isn’t expected to reach its full height for at least another year, at which point it is likely to be declared the tallest building in the U.S., and third tallest in the world. Those bragging rights, though, will carry an asterisk. Crowning the world’s tallest buildings is a little like picking the heavyweight champion in boxing. There is often disagreement about who deserves the belt. In this case, the issue involves the 408-foot-tall needle that will sit on the tower’s roof. Count it, and the World Trade Center is back on top. Otherwise, it will have to settle for No. 2, after the Willis Tower in Chicago. “Height is complicated,” said Nathaniel Hollister, a spokesman for The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitats, a Chicago-based organization considered an authority on such records. Experts and architects have long disagreed about where to stop measuring super-tall buildings outfitted with masts, spires and antennas that extend far above the roof. Consider the case of the Empire State Building: Measured from the sidewalk to the tip of its needle-like antenna, the granddaddy of all super-tall skyscrapers actually stands 1,454 feet high, well above the mark being surpassed by One World Trade Center on Monday. 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.

All letters are subject to editing, must be signed and include address and telephone number. No unsigned letters will be published. Letters should be in good taste, addressing issues, not personalities. “Thank You” letters will not be accepted for publication. Purists, though, say antennas shouldn’t count when determining building height. An antenna, they say, is more like furniture than a piece of architecture. Like a chair sitting on a rooftop, an antenna can be attached or removed. The Empire State Building didn’t even get its distinctive antenna until 1952. The record books, as the argument goes, shouldn’t change every time someone installs a new satellite dish. Excluding the antenna brings the Empire State Building’s total height to 1,250 feet. That was still high enough to make the skyscraper the world’s tallest from 1931 until 1972. From that height, the Empire State seems to tower over the second tallest completed building in New York, the Bank of America Tower. Yet, in many record books, the two skyscrapers are separated by just 50 feet. That’s because the tall, thin mast on top of the Bank of America building isn’t an antenna, but a decorative spire. Unlike antennas, recordkeepers like spires. It’s a tradition that harkens back to a time when the tallest buildings in many European cities were cathedrals. Groups like the Council on Tall Buildings, and Emporis, a building data provider in Germany, both count spires when measuring the total height of a building, even if that spire happens to look exactly like an antenna. This quirk in the record books has benefited buildings like Chicago’s recently opened Trump International Hotel and Tower. It is routinely listed as being between 119 to 139 feet taller than the Empire State Building, thanks to the antenna-like mast that sits on its roof, even though the average person, looking at the two buildings side by side, would probably judge the New York skyscraper to be taller. The same factors apply to measuring the height of One World Trade Center. Designs call for the tower’s roof to stand at 1,368 feet — the same height as the north tower of the original World Trade Center. The building’s roof will be topped with a 408-foot, cable-stayed mast, making the total height of the structure a symbolic 1,776 feet. So is that needle an antenna or a spire? “Not sure,” wrote Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the building. The needle will, indeed, function as a broadcast antenna. It is described on the Port Authority’s website as an antenna. On the other hand, the structure will have more meat to it than your average antenna, with external cladding encasing the broadcast mast. Without that spire, One World Trade Center would still be smaller than the Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as the Sears Tower, which tops out at 1,451 feet (not including its own antennas). Debate over which of those buildings can truly claim to be the tallest in the U.S. has been raging for years on Internet message boards frequented by skyscraper enthusiasts. As for the Council on Tall Buildings, it is leaning toward giving One World Trade the benefit of the doubt. “This is something we have discussed with the architect,” Hollister said. “As we understand it, the needle is an architectural spire which happens to enclose an antenna. We would thus count it as part of the architectural height.” But, he noted, the organization has also chosen to sidestep these types of disputes, somewhat, by recognizing three types of height records: tallest occupied floor, architectural top, and height to the tip. As for the world’s tallest building, the undisputed champion is the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, which opened in 2010 and reaches 2,717 feet. Not counting about 5 feet of aircraft lights and other equipment perched on top, of course.

Browns expect “big jump” after draft BEREA, Ohio (AP) — From the outset, the Cleveland Browns were decisive and daring in this year’s NFL draft. They had to get this one right — a must-win. Convinced they couldn’t risk waiting for the players they wanted, the Browns wasted little time in selecting Alabama running back Trent Richardson and Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, two potential franchise-changing players, in the first round and then spent the next two days addressing other needs. They got deeper. The got faster. They got tougher. And, the Browns, who went 4-12 last season in the NFL’s toughest division, believe they got better, significantly better. “We’d all like to see a big jump this year, that’s our hope,” president Mike Holmgren said. “We think that’s possible. That’s reasonable.” concluded Cleveland three days of selections on Saturday by taking seven more players, including Travis Benjamin, a speedburning wide receiver from Miami who will stretch defenses and allow Weeden to air out that high-powered arm that made the Browns fall in love with him. In all, the Browns selected six offensive players and five on defense. None of them, though, are as important as Weeden, the 28-year-old QB and former minor league baseball pitcher the Browns hope can end years of failure at the game’s most vital position. “The quarterback play is so important to any team,” Holmgren said. “And really in this business, your team is probably as good as how your quarterback plays and the play of that position.” The Browns were desperate to fix their quarterback conundrum, so much so that Holmgren revealed that he spoke to the Indianapolis Colts at the scouting combine about a trade for Andrew Luck, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. Cleveland also pursued a trade to move up and get Robert Griffin III, but was outbid by Washington, which selected the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor behind Luck. Cleveland’s next target was Weeden, and the Browns made sure they didn’t miss him. Holmgren said Weeden will not be handed the starter’s job, but conceded the team probably wouldn’t have taken him with the No. 22 pick if it didn’t intend to play him immediately. Holmgren, who coached Joe Montana, Steve Young and Brett Favre, has been searching for a franchise quarterback since arriving in Cleveland three years ago. Is his mission complete? “Well, I won’t feel real good about it until it happens,” he said. “We’ll keep looking. We really like our quarterbacks, I like ‘em all. And this young man is an impressive guy.” Weeden’s arrival signals the start of a new era in Cleveland and, in all likelihood, Colt McCoy’s exit after two inconsistent seasons as the Browns’ starter. Holmgren praised McCoy, whom he selected in the third round of the 2010 draft, and refused to say if the team intended to trade him. Holmgren called McCoy’s situation “an ongoing thing” and said it’s possible McCoy could remain with the Browns in a backup role. “Colt McCoy is a special young man,” Holmgren said. “Of course he wants to play, they all want to play. Again, nothing’s been done yet. We don’t know how it’s going to sort itself out. But if that (McCoy as a backup) were to be the case at some point, we have the best chance of making that work because of who the people are, who the players are. It’s never easy, everyone wants to play, but you’ve only got one ball and only one guy can play at a time.” Shurmur has spoken to McCoy “a couple of times” and said he expects him to be at the team’s offseason conditioning program next week. “He’s looking forward to coming back here and getting himself ready to compete to be the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns,” Shurmur said. But the selection of Weeden would seem to end any discussion about McCoy ever lining up behind center for the Browns again. Shurmur believes Weeden’s addition will improve everything about Cleveland’s offense. “I think an outstanding quarterback brings synergy to the whole team,” Shurmur said. “Just like the addition of a running back helps the quarterback. A quarterback that throws the ball accurately on time makes the receivers look good. Receivers that make circus catches or make the hard catches make the quarterback look good. When the quarterback has a little bit more time to throw it because the line is doing their job, it makes everything look good. “It’s all connected. It’s hard on offense to talk about one specifically not connected to the other. But I do know this, when you have outstanding quarter- back play, all the players on offense and all the people in this room, we all look good.” Holmgren said the decision to trade three late picks to Minnesota and move up to pick Richardson was an easy one. Although he liked Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon “a lot” and was impressed with LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, Richardson was the complete package. “He’ll make everybody look better,” Holmgren said. “Every team is better when you have that kind of running back.” The Browns were criticized for overlooking wide receivers in the first three rounds, but they snatched the speedy Benjamin with the first of their two fourthround picks. “He’s extremely fast,” Shurmur said. “We got him clocked down around 4.3 (in the 40). He’d beat anybody in here. He can really go.” With their next pick, the Browns took Nevada linebacker James-Michael Johnson and then used their first of two picks in the fifth round on 6-foot-7 Colorado offensive lineman Ryan Miller, who can play guard and tackle and has a nasty streak. “I try to play vicious,” he said. “I’ll give you my all and I’ll bleed, bite, crawl and scratch to get the job done.” The Browns took Texas linebacker Emmanuel Acho and Boise State defensive tackle Billy Winn in the sixth round, and grabbed Arizona defensive back Trevin Wade in the seventh before closing their draft by taking Alabama fullback Brad Smelley, who can’t wait to be reunited with Richardson. �Tuesday, May 1, 2012 Business Business Stanley Tree Trimming & Removal Window Dresser Legals PUBLIC NOTICE -- The Board of County Commissioners will hold public hearings May 18, 2012 and May 25, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. in the Common Pleas Court Room of Meigs County Court House, 100 East Second Street, Pomeroy, Ohio, to discuss and receive public opinion regarding a one-mill or 10-cent per one-hundred dollars of value rate increase on permissive real property transfer tax (conveyance fee).

No kidding. And, in a way, the receiver’s heartbreak after a first-round prank led to an upbeat ending. The Bengals took him in the third round and brought him to town on Saturday to get acquainted with the coaching staff that reached out to him a day earlier with a little encouragement over one of his toughest moments. “It’s turned into a positive,” Sanu said, wearing a black Bengals polo shirt. For a few minutes on Thursday night, it was tough to see anything positive about his draft experience. When the Bengals got ready to make the 27th selection in the first round, Sanu’s phone rang. Someone pretending to be a Bengals representative told him he’d been taken by Cincinnati — in the first round! It was quite a moment. Nobody had projected him as a first-round pick. His family celebrated. Then, Commissioner Roger Goodell went to the podium in New York and announced that the Bengals had taken … Wisconsin guard Kevin Zeitler. “We were all in shock,” Sanu said. “We didn’t know what happened.” Sanu’s agent made a call and found out that Sanu had been the victim of a prank by someone with no ties to the Bengals. When the Bengals heard what had happened, they called Sanu the next day to offer encouragement. A few hours later, they decided to pick him. The nasty prank has produced benefits. Instead of being just another thirdround pick, Sanu got a lot of national attention for what happened to him and how it all ended rather appropriately. “At first, I was little heartbroken,” Sanu said on Saturday. “After I looked at it, I’m just thankful now to be in Cincinnati and ready to get everything going.” In addition to welcoming more newcomers to Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals took five more players on Saturday, including Ohio State running back Dan “Boom” Herron with their final pick in the sixth round. That broke a long streak of the Bengals passing up Buckeyes in the draft — the last ones taken were defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson and fullback Jeff Cothran in 1994. Herron was one of five players implicated in the tattoo-parlor scandal at Ohio State that led to coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation and NCAA sanctions. The 5-foot-10 running back led the Buckeyes to a 12-1 finish as a junior and a sixth straight Big Ten title. The scandal broke a month before the Buckeyes beat Arkansas 31-26 in the Sugar Bowl. Herron wound up suspended for the first six games last season. He was concerned that his involvement would hurt him in the NFL draft. “I wasn’t sure,” he said. “I knew it was going to be a learning process for me. I learned from my mistakes. It’s made me a better person. “The questions always came up about it. I answered the questions honestly. Teams definitely wanted to know about it. Obviously they were concerned. They wanted to know what really happened. All I could do was to be honest about everything.” The Bengals let running back Cedric Benson leave as a free agent after last season and signed free agent BenJarvus Green-Ellis from New England. Down to their last pick, they decided to give Herron a chance to win a supporting role. “He’s a guy who’s had a productive career at Ohio State,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “We’re really excited to add him to our stable of guys and let him come in here and compete with our guys, and can he make the football team by playing on special teams, by being a runner, by being a receiver.” While the Bengals shied away from Buckeyes over the years, they became fond of Georgia Bulldogs. They took Georgia tight end Orson Charles in the fourth round, giving themselves a complement to Jermaine Gresham at the position. He’s the fourth player from Georgia drafted by the Bengals in the last three years. Charles is known for his strength — he set a combine record for a tight end by bench pressing 225 pounds 35 times. There was a concern when he was arrested for drunken driving in Athens, Ga., last month. Police said he was stopped at 3 a.m., failed part of a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level of .095, above the state’s legal limit of .08. Several NFL teams asked him about it before the draft. “They wanted to know what happened,” Charles said. “I told them it was a one-time event that will never happen again. It was one of the worst things in my life. It was hard to explain to my little (11-yearold) brother what I did and to tell my mother how sorry I was.” Overall, the Bengals took Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and Zeitler in the first round, Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still in the second, Sanu and Clemson defensive tackle Brandon Thompson in the third, and Charles in the fourth. They had three picks in the fifth round: Iowa cornerback Shaun Prater, California receiver Marvin Jones and Boise State George Iloka. Do we have your attention now?

The Steelers stockpiled prospects for its beleaguered offensive line and addressed depth issues at linebacker, nose tackle and wide receiver with their nine picks. “It was no grand design,” Colbert said. “That’s just how these drafts break.” Pittsburgh wrapped up the draft with a flurry of activity on Saturday, moving up in the fourth round to take nose tackle Alameda Ta’amu out of Washington then grabbing speedy Florida running back Chris Rainey in the fifth. The Steelers selected Colorado wide receiver Toney Clemons, a Pittsburgh native, in the seventh round before choosing Texas A&M cornerback Terrence Frederick, Oregon tight end David Paulson and SMU lineman Kelvin Beachum with compensatory picks. “The last three days unfolded very well for us,” Colbert said. “We got a lot of players we had targeted. We didn’t think we reached for everybody and we got everybody where we felt very comfortable.” Pittsburgh addressed its line issues in the first and second round by taking Stanford’s David DeCastro and Ohio State’s Mike Adams then adding Miami (Fla.) linebacker Sean Spence in the third. The only time the Steelers moved aggressively in the draft came in the fourth, when they traded picks with Washington and gave up a sixth-rounder to take the 348-pound Ta’amu, who gives Pittsburgh insurance at the position that anchors its 3-4 defense.

Hampton is recovering from offseason knee surgery and longtime backup Chris Hoke retired in January leaving third-year man Steve McLendon as the most experienced nose tackle on the roster. Ta’amu had 30 tackles and four sacks during his senior year with the Huskies and was an honorable mention All Pac-12 selection. He played extensively against DeCastro. Ta’amu had high praise for his former rival turned teammate. “When you go against DeCastro, you can feel his presence,” Ta’amu said. “There’s not a lot of guards that can block down on a nose tackle and you can feel him. The thing about DeCastro is he’s explosive, from play one all the way to the last play. There’s not a lot of guards that can stay the same like that.” The Steelers are in no hurry to bring Ta’amu along, though he believes he can be a three-down player. When asked about his pass rush skills, Ta’amu just laughed. “My pass rush is amazing,” he said. So is Rainey’s speed. The former All-American track star with the Gators is be used in a variety of ways. “I think he’s a very versatile player that is very fast and explosive,” offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. “He can run it, he can return it. That’s a commodity.” One the Steelers could use. Antonio Brown made the Pro Bowl as a return man last season, but will be elevated to a starting wide receiver following the retirement of Hines Ward. Rainey, whose older brother Rod Smart played five seasons in the NFL with the Eagles and Panthers, understands he’ll need to be open to anything. He’s certainly confident in his ability, calling himself the fastest player on a team that includes Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Wallace.

Be direct and get past any confusion or vagueness. Sometimes it might be more comforting to keep your rose-colored shades on. If you are single, know that something better lies ahead. Someone very special could appear. If you are attached, be more understanding of your sweetie’s shortcomings. VIRGO nearly always agrees with you. 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) HHHH Your focused energy will make all the difference in the outcome of a situation. You could be overburdened by responsibilities. The good news is that you’ll clear all that and more with ease. An authority figure seems to rapidly transform his or her opinions. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH When answers do not appear, tap into your imagination. You will gain a totally different perspective. Regroup and brainstorm, but resist the urge to push too hard. Fatigue could still be a problem. A child, new friend or member of the opposite sex could be difficult. Tonight: Let off some steam. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You could find that a domestic issue or unexpected problem within the family could keep you preoccupied. Perhaps you need to deal with it rather than let the dilemma dominate the rest of your day. Curb a tendency to be sarcastic. Tonight: Be where your thoughts are. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You mean what you say, and you are willing to act on your words. To convince someone, you might have to demonstrate this assertive quality. Be careful, as you could be accident-prone. You are too much in your head and not as observant as you need to be. Tonight: Swap the day’s war stories with a pal. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Confusion surrounds a money matter. You could be stressed because you feel as if you need to find a solution. Don’t. Start looking at the cold, hard facts. Only then can you instrument change of a positive nature. Also, make sure someone is not pulling the wool over your eyes. Be a quiet skeptic. Tonight: Be aware of your budget. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Your questions show understanding but also unwillingness to be taken for a ride. With so much going on, you’ll need to sort out your priorities. Be creative. Reframe. Willingly examine your feelings and a situation if you do not like what you are hearing. Know that there is always a solution. Tonight: As you like it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HH Deal with anger before it deals with you. Go find the person involved or define the situation. Explain your reactions and feelings. Do not make judgments yet. Let the other party think about what you say. Give him or her time to digest your words. Tonight: You are your best company. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Having determined what you want from the current state of affairs, feel free to walk right in and a handle a situation. Someone might be irritated or taken aback. Your sense of security and well-being become evident. Have a long-overdue discussion. Tonight: Among the crowd. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Stand up for what you want, but do not be surprised if you get some flak. Let go of needing others’ approval. You might be pushed to be more available for a personal reason. You do not always need to explain. Tonight: A must appearance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Reach out for more information. You could become sarcastic or irritable if you do not find what you are looking for. Step back and reassess the situation. It might be appropriate to try a different path. Tonight: Off to a movie. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Deal directly with a child or loved one. In a business, financial or community matter, you are better off being authentic. No one can represent you like you can. You are changing your opinion about a key person in your life. Tonight: Dinner with a pal. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Someone could be a bit too combative and argumentative for your taste. Take a detour until this phase passes. Sort through what must occur as opposed to what you most desire or want. Tonight: Just not by yourself.

Pitchers 400-Home Run Club Of the 12 pitchers in the 400-HR club (that’s home runs allowed, by the way), seven are in the Hall of Fame. Of the five that are not enshrined, only Frank Tanana is eligible. David Wells and Tim Wakefield are not likely to be voted into the Hall of Fame, but Randy Johnson is. That leaves Jamie Moyer, the leader with 513 gopher balls and counting, as the other. And whenever the ageless Moyer decides to retire, I doubt the voters will be gracious enough to elect him. Moyer has given up home runs to 326 different batters representing all 30 teams and in 42 ballparks. Hat Trick Home Run Club Paul Konerko, Chicago The leader of the White Sox offense, Konerko batted .435 last week with a .500 on-base percentage. He hit three home runs to go with three doubles, which gave him a 1.457 OPS for the week. Jake Peavy, Chicago Trying to outdo teammate Phil Humber who pitched a complete game, Peavy tossed two complete games last week, winning one and losing one. He tossed a three-hit shutout at Oakland, then limited Boston to just four hits and one run, but lost. In 18 innings, he gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out 12. Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado After a disappointing season in 2011, CarGo has returned to the level Colorado fans expect. Last week he led the majors with four home runs and 11 RBIs. He batted .391 with a 1.395 OPS and scored seven runs. Johan Santana, New York After failing to score in the first 18 innings while Santana was on the mound this season, the Mets finally broke through getting three runs in his last start, before the bullpen blew the game in extra innings. Last week Santana pitched 12.2 innings and struck out 16. He allowed five hits and five walks for a 0.79 WHIP and 0.71 ERA. Will Middlebrooks, Boston The heir apparent to Kevin Youkilis has all the tools to be a power-hitting third baseman in the big leagues. He began his pro career at age 19 at Lowell and has progressed steadily ever since. He played at three levels last season, ending the year at Triple-A, where he struggled at .161 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 16 games. This season is a totally different story. He’s batting .348 with nine dingers and 27 ribbies in just 23 games. May 2, 1954 The Cardinals’ Stan Musial hit five home runs in a double-header, collecting nine RBIs on the day. He homered three times in the first game, a 10-6 win over the Giants. He followed with two in the nightcap in the 9-7 loss. An eight-year-old Nate Colbert was in the stands that day at Sportsman’s Park. Colbert would become the only player to match the five-home run day in 1972 for San Diego. May 1, 1991 Rickey Henderson stole the 939th base of his career to break the all-time record held by Lou Brock. Henderson was caught trying to steal earlier in the game. Later that evening, Nolan Ryan of Texas no-hit the Blue Jays, the seventh no-hitter of his career. David Price Miami at San Diego In yet another Year of the Pitcher, offensive futility will be on full display at San Diego as two of the National League’s worst offenses get together in the most brutal park for hitters in baseball. San Diego hitters carry a .212 batting average — only .191 at home. The Marlins aren’t much better hitting .202 on the road. The Padres have scored just 38 runs in 14 games at home while Miami has 27 runs in 11 road games. Starting pitchers on both sides should be licking their chops for this series. Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Ricky Nolasco are schduled for the Marlins. They will face Anthony Bass, Clayton Richard and Joe Wieland. The over/under for the weekend should be about 15. Baltimore at Boston If the Baltimore Orioles are serious about crashing the AL East party for the first time in more than a decade, they must prove they can beat the Yankees and Red Sox. After three games in New York, the Orioles will visit Boston for the weekend. The O’s will face Jon Lester, Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz. Baltimore will counter with Jason Hammel on Sunday. Hammel, who is 3-0, allowed just two hits and a run over eight innings against the Twins in his first start this season. In his last start, he tossed seven shutout innings against the Blue Jays. The Orioles have won all four of his starts. Getty Images Best Aging Stars: Age 35 and Over Last week we presented the best of the young guys — 25 and under. Now the old dudes. Needless to say this roster is one huge injury risk. As was the case with the 25-and-under list, I’m using Opening Day (April 4, 2012) as the players’ official ages. Players had to be at least age 35 on that day to qualify. I can’t tell how tempting it was to fudge on the age eligibility and include Carlos Beltran, who is 20 days too young, and Roy Halladay, who missed by 40 days. CATCHER A.J. Pierzynski, Chicago White Sox Last season was the first time A.J. spent any time on the DL in his career. Remarkable. So far this season, he’s batting better than .330. Easy to run on. FIRST BASE Paul Konerko, Chicago White Sox He has played close to 2,000 games for the White Sox after both the Dodgers and Reds traded him. This is likely to be his third straight .300-30100 season. SECOND BASE Michael Young, Texas There’s not much to choose from here. At least Young has played 433 games in his career at second base, and he can still hit like a 30-year-old. THIRD BASE Chipper Jones, Atlanta It would be nice if either Jones or ARod could play second base. Both deserve to be in the lineup. Jones seems to have grown into more of a winner. SHORTSTOP Derek Jeter, New York Yankees There can be no argument here. Just when you think Jeter might be slowing down, he carries a .400 batting average into late April. LEFT FIELD Alfonso Soriano, Chicago Cubs He’s turned himself into an horrific outfielder and has some horrific holes in his swing. Other than that, the Cubs should be excited about the $54 million they owe him for 2012-14. 0 2.05 5.26 .249 CENTER FIELD Torii Hunter, Los Angeles Angels I know he plays right field now, but I’m sure he can still handle himself quite well in center. He has yet to homer and has as many strikeouts as hits (19). RIGHT FIELD Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle Ichiro is not the same player that arrived in the States in 2001, but he’s still borderline All-Star quality. STARTING PITCHERS Tim Hudson, Atlanta I know he’s been injured, but he appears to be healthy and ready to lead the Braves’ rotation. Ted Lilly, Los Angeles Dodgers He’s 2-0 with a sub-1.00 ERA and WHIP after three starts. While those trends won’t continue, he’s still a reliable No. 3 starter for the Dodgers. Jamie Moyer, Colorado Anyone who is older than me can have a spot on this roster. His 3.14 ERA easily earns a spot in the rotation. Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Last season looked like the end for Arroyo, but 2012 has brought new life with just two walks in 26.2 innings and a 2.70 ERA in a hitter’s park. Bartolo Colon, Oakland We have no idea what to make of Colon’s unbelievable comeback. He’s allowed less than one base runner per inning over first 34 frames this season. We’ll ride him until his arm falls off, then turn to Hiroki Kuroda. RELIEF PITCHERS Scott Downs, Los Angeles Angels Every bullpen needs two lefthanders. Downs limited left-handed hitters to a .179 average last season. Matt Thornton, Chicago White Sox Opponents are batting .216 this season as the White Sox are asking him to get tough outs every night it seems. SETUP MEN Fernando Rodney, Tampa Bay From Soriano to Farnsworth and now Rodney, the Rays’ bullpen doesn’t seem to miss a beat. Rafael Betancourt, Colorado It was tempting to take Joe Nathan for this role, but Betancourt has proven to be consistent even in Colorado. CLOSER Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees This may be the only position where the old guys have an edge. We would rely on Rivera to save big games for us, no matter the age restrictions. BENCH Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees Hard to believe that A-Rod is on the bench. But Chipper would be out of the lineup enough for Rodriguez to get plenty of chances. Jose Molina, Tampa Bay As tempting as it was Runs scored by the St. Louis Cardinals while Adam Wainwright was in the game during his first four starts this season, spanning 20 innings. ERA of the first-place Texas Rangers’ bullpen. ERA of the last-place Los Angeles Angels’ bullpen. Cumulative batting average in the major leagues this season, the lowest for a season in the DH Era. In 1972, the season prior to the DH rule, the majors’ average was .244. The league batting average has declined each year since 2006. 16 Home runs by the Dodgers’ Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier in 163 at-bats. Their teammates have combined for just three homers in 545 at-bats. 20 Consecutive games with a hit by the Giants’ Pablo Sandoval to start this season. Before being held hitless by the Padres on Saturday, Sandoval established a new San Francisco mark for a hitting streak to start the season, beating the old mark of 16 set by Willie Mays in 1961. AP Images Jeter AP Images; Rivera, Suzuki Athlon Sports Mariano Rivera (left) remains the most reliable closer in the game. Derek Jeter (center) and Ichiro Suzuki would be productive sparks at the top of the lineup. to turn to the recently retired Ivan Rodriguez, we decided to include only active players. And since his name is Molina, he is tough to steal against. David Ortiz, Boston Since this writer still refuses to recognize the designated hitter in my lineups, Ortiz would be a serious weapon coming off the bench. Todd Helton, Colorado Helton gives the team some punch off the bench and is a solid defensive replacement for Konerko. Lance Berkman, St. Louis Berkman is a switch-hitter who still believes he can play the outfield. Truth is, he probably can as well, or better, than Soriano. Health is a huge issue. John McDonald, Arizona Edging out Alex Gonzalez and Marco Scutaro, McDonald provides some defensive help off the bench. Jerry Hariston, Jr., Los Angeles Dodgers No matter who he plays for or what position he plays, Hairston contributes with his bat, glove and on the bases. WILL BE ELIGIBLE NEXT SEASON Jose Valverde, Detroit Rafael Furcal, St. Louis Carlos Beltran, St. Louis Roy Halladay, Philadelphia In 2009, three players each got six hits in a game. No player has accomplished that since then. Can you name those three players who got six hits in a game in 2009? TRIVIA ANSWER: Ian Kinsler of Texas, Freddy Sanchez of Pittsburgh and Adrian Gonzalez of San Diego. Since 2000, there have been 128 players who have hit three home runs in a game as Curtis Granderson of the Yankees became the latest to do this season. The Kansas City Royals are the only team not to have one during that time. Every team has given up at least one hat trick this century, but Detroit and Miami have been the stingiest with just one. Toronto tops the list having had a player accomplish it 11 times. Colorado has allowed an opponent to go deep three times the most at 10. Hitting three bombs doesn’t guarantee a team’s success, but it certainly helps. Teams are 113-15 when a player goes deep three times. Only once since 2000 has a team scored only three runs. Arizona’s Steve Finley accounted for all his team’s runs in a 4-3 loss to the Cubs. Four players have done it four times since 2000. And it must help if your first name begins with an A. Albert Pujols, Alex Rodriguez, Aramis Ramirez and Sammy Sosa each hit three bombs four times. And one last piece of useless information is that Corey Hart, Joey Votto and Rodriguez are the only players to steal bases in games in which they hit three dingers. Dodgers Sweep of Nationals proved Dodgers are best — for now. Rangers Lost first series of the season over the weekend. Rays David Price making early Cy Young bid. Cardinals Of three NL pitchers with four wins, two are Cardinals. Braves Craig Kimbrel has saved four of last five wins. Nationals Respectable debut for Bryce Harper.
