Mega-long odds for
winning record jackpot
By MARGERY A. BECK
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. With
the multistate Mega Millions
jackpot set to reach a world-
record $540 million today,
lottery players across the
country are wondering if
theres a way to guarantee
becoming an overnight mul-
timillionaire.
The answer: Not unless
you already are one and own
a magic wand.
The jackpot is so large,
someone with enough money
could theoretically buy up
every possible number com-
bination, thereby guarantee-
ing a winning ticket but
only if you suspended the
laws of physics.
A $540 million jackpot,
if taken as a $390 million
lump sum and after federal
tax withholding, works out to
about $293 million. With the
jackpot odds at 1 in 176 mil-
lion, it would cost $176 mil-
lion to buy up every combi-
nation. Under that scenario,
the strategy would win $117
million less if your state
also withholds taxes.
But there are too many
limitations. First, if it takes
five seconds to fill out each
card, youd need almost 28
years just to mark the bubbles
on the game tickets. Youd
also use up the national sup-
ply of special lottery paper
and lottery-machine printing
ink well before all your tick-
ets could be printed out.
With a jackpot this large,
experts say, there also is a great-
er chance of multiple winners.
If you have to share the jackpot
with even one other winner,
youve lost $30 million.
Mike Catalano, chairman
of the mathematics depart-
ment at Dakota Wesleyan
University in Mitchell, S.D.,
said he covers the odds of
winning in lottery games
with his students to show
them just how unlikely it is
to win big.
He concedes the math is
clear: The more tickets you
buy, the better your chances
of winning. So, if you buy 10
tickets filled out 10 different
ways, your odds of winning
the jackpot 10 in 176 million.
You are about 50 times as
likely to get struck by light-
ning as to win the lottery,
based on the 90 people a year
getting struck by lightning,
Catalano said. Of course, if
you buy 50 tickets, youve
equalized your chances of
winning the jackpot with get-
ting struck by lightning.
Based on other U.S. aver-
ages, youre about 8,000
times more likely to be mur-
dered than to win the lottery,
and about 20,000 times more
likely to die in a car crash
than hit the lucky numbers,
Catalano said.
You might get some
psychological enjoyment
from playing the lottery, but
from a financial standpoint
... youd be much better
off going to Las Vegas and
playing blackjack or the slot
machines.
But that chance how-
ever small of instanta-
neous, enormous wealth
is leading to long lines at
convenience stores in 42
states and Washington, D.C.,
where Mega Millions tickets
are sold.
Its why David Kramer,
a lawyer in Lincoln, bought
a Mega Millions ticket
Thursday.
To me, the value of the
lottery ticket isnt the real-
istic opportunity to win, he
said. Its the fact that for
three days, the daydreaming
time about what I would do
if I won is great entertain-
ment and, frankly, a very
nice release from a normal
day.

Bluegrass legend Earl
Scruggs dies at 88 in Tenn.

By CHRIS TALBOTT
The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. It
is impossible to overstate the
importance of Earl Scruggs to
American music. A pioneering
banjo player who helped cre-
ate modern country music, his
sound is instantly recognizable
and as intrinsically wrapped
in the tapestry of the genre
as Johnny Cashs baritone or
Hank Williams heartbreak.
Scruggs passed away
Wednesday morning at 88 of
natural causes. The legacy he
helped build with bandleader
Bill Monroe, guitarist Lester
Flatt and the rest of the Blue
Grass Boys was evident all
around Nashville, where he
died in an area hospital. His
string-bending, mind-blowing
way of picking helped trans-
form a regional sound into a
national passion.
Its not just bluegrass,
its American music, blue-
grass fan turned country star
Dierks Bentley said. Theres
17- or 18-year-old kids turning
on todays country music and
hearing that banjo and they
have no idea where that came
from. That sound has probably
always been there for them
and they dont realize someone
invented that three-finger roll
style of playing. You hear it
everywhere.
Country music has tran-
scended its regional roots,
become a billion-dollar music
and tourist enterprise, and
evolved far beyond the clas-
sic sound Monroe and The
Blue Grass Boys blasted out
over the radio on The Grand
Ole Opry on Dec. 8, 1945.
Though he would eventually
influence American culture in
wide-ranging ways, Scruggs
had no way of knowing this as
he nervously prepared for his
first show with Monroe. The
21-year-old wasnt sure how
his new picking style would
go over.
Id heard The Grand Ole
Opry and there was tremendous
excitement for me just to be on
The Grand Ole Opry, Scruggs
recalled during a 2010 inter-
view at Ryman Auditorium,
where that big bang moment
occurred. I just didnt know
if or how well Id be accepted
because thered never been
anybody to play banjo like me
here. There was Stringbean
and Grandpa Jones. Most of
them were comedians.
There was nothing jokey
about the way Scruggs attacked
his fancy five-string banjo,
as Opry announcer George D.
Hayes called it. In a perfor-
mance broadcast to much of
the country but unfortunately
lost to history, he scorched the
earth and instantly changed
country music. With Monroe
on mandolin and Flatt on gui-
tar, the pace was a real jolt to
attendees and radio listeners
far away, and in some ways
the speed and volume he laid
down predicted the power of
electric music.
Scruggs use of three fin-
gers in place of the limited
clawhammer style once preva-
lent elevated the banjo from
a part of the rhythm section
or a even a comedians prop
to a lead instrument that was as
versatile as the guitar and far
more flashy.
Country great Porter
Wagoner probably summed up
Scruggs importance best of
all: I always felt like Earl was
to the five-string banjo what
Babe Ruth was to baseball. He
is the best there ever was, and
the best there ever will be.
His string-bending and lead
runs became known worldwide
as the Scruggs picking style
and the versatility it allowed
has helped popularize the banjo
beyond the traditional bluegrass
and country forms. Today the
banjo can be found in almost any
genre, largely due to the way he
freed its players to experiment
and find new space.
That was exactly what Ralph
Stanley had in mind when he
first heard Scruggs lay it down.
A legendary banjo player in
his own right, Stanley said in
a 2011 interview that he was
inspired by Scruggs when he
first heard him over the radio
after returning home from mil-
itary service in Germany.
I wasnt doing any play-
ing, Stanley said. When I got
discharged I began listening to
Bill and Earl was with him.
I already had a banjo at that
time, but of course I wanted
to do the three-finger roll. I
knew Earl was the best, but I
didnt want to sound like him.
I wanted to do that style, but I
wanted to sound the way I felt
and thats what I tried to do.
Flowers were placed on his
star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame on Thursday morning.
Scruggs earned that star
when he and Flatt weaved
themselves into the fabric of
American culture in the 1950s
and 60s.
Flatt and Scruggs teamed
as a bluegrass act after leaving
Monroe from the late 1940s until
breaking up in 1969 in a dispute
over whether their music should
experiment or stick to tradition.
Flatt died in 1979.
They were best known for
their 1949 recording Foggy
Mountain Breakdown, played
in the 1967 movie Bonnie and
Clyde, and The Ballad of Jed
Clampett from The Beverly
Hillbillies, the popular TV
series that debuted in 1962.
Jerry Scoggins did the singing.
For many viewers, the end-
lessly hummable theme song
was their first introduction to
country music.
In 2005, Foggy Mountain
Breakdown was selected
for the Library of Congress
National Recording Registry
of works of unusual merit.
The following year, the 1972
Nitty Gritty Dirt Bands Will
the Circle Be Unbroken, on
which Scruggs was one of
many famous guest perform-
ers, joined the list, too.

The Lucky One
Judge ends Lohans probation
By ANTHONY
McCARTNEY
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES
Lindsay Lohans days as a
criminal defendant could be
over if she can behave
herself.
A judge on Thursday
ended the long-running pro-
bation of the problem-prone
actress in a 2007 drunken
driving case after a string of
violations, jail sentences and
rehab stints.
The 25-year-old actress
will remain on informal pro-
bation for taking a necklace
without permission last year,
but will no longer have a pro-
bation officer or face travel
restrictions and weekly shifts
cleaning up at the morgue.
Lohan, wearing a powder
blue suit and black blouse, let
out a sigh of relief as she left
Judge Stephanie Sautners
courtroom, possibly for the
last time.
I just want to say thank
you for being fair, Lohan told
the judge. Its really opened a
lot of doors for me.
The judge said she wasnt
going to lecture the actress,
but gave her some parting
advice.
You need to live your life
in a more mature way, stop
the nightclubbing and focus
on your work, Sautner said.
She reminded Lohan that
she will remain on informal
probation until May 2014 in
the necklace case and could
face up to 245 days in jail if
she gets into trouble again.
Still, the end of probation
left Lohan looking relieved.
She hugged her attorney,
Shawn Holley, before leaving
the courtroom, and was beam-
ing by the time she walked
past the rows of cameras
waiting for her outside the
courthouse near Los Angeles
International Airport.
Sautners regimen of
morgue duty, therapy and
monthly court dates helped
Lohan weather the drunk-
en driving case. The judge
opened the hearing by calling
the case endless.
Lohan is now free to focus
on her career for the first time
since May 2010, when she
missed a court appearance
and was later jailed for failing
to complete the terms of her
sentence.
The Mean Girls star
has struggled with the case
and her career since the two
drunken driving arrests in
2007.
She had small appear-
ances in films and did some
modeling but came nowhere
near her heyday as the star
of Disney films and movies
aimed at teens and young
adults.
Her career is already show-
ing signs of a comeback. She
is due to guest star on an
upcoming episode of Glee,
recently hosted a highly rated
but criticized episode of
Saturday Night Live, and is
set to star as Elizabeth Taylor
in a television movie.
Lindsay is already talking
about her next few projects,
her spokesman Steve Honig
wrote in a statement after
the hearing. She is ready to
start the next chapter in her
life and get back to work and
doing what she loves to do
making movies.

Vancrest residents celebrate St. Patricks Day
In celebration of St. Patricks Day, the residents at Vancrest Healthcare Center
acknowledged age old traditions by dressing in green and discussing their Irish roots.
Residents played a game of Truth or Blarney (True or False) about the holiday and
learned how to set a trap to catch a leprechaun. The festivities were topped off with
mint ice cream cookies and Leprechaun Punch. Norma Wittler could be mistaken for
a leprechaun.
Lois Osting, Helen Metzger and Betty Wiechart enjoy their Leprechaun Punch.
Amber Bidlack and Tony Piecenski show off their St. Patricks Day spirit.

Supporters say the annu-
al day is set aside to honor
those who fought, died or are
still unaccounted for in the
Vietnam War.
The date to honor the vet-
erans had been in flux as law-
makers wrestled with whether
they should use March 29 like
other states.
Some veterans had balked
at that proposal, noting its
the anniversary of U.S. forces
pulling out of Vietnam.
Among those supporting
the March 30 designation is
retired Air Force Col. Tom
Moe, a Vietnam prisoner of
war and director of the states
veterans services.

service in Ohios Appalachian
region and left thousands
without telephone and Internet

WBNS-TV reports four
counties in southern Ohio
were affected by the outage
that started late Wednesday
and lasted until Thursday
afternoon.
Frontier Communications
says fiber optic cables were
cut and stolen, affecting 8,000
customers in Pike, Scioto,
Jackson and Lawrence coun-
ties at Ohios southern tip.
Pike County Sheriff Richard
Henderson told the station
such situations are a fear for
his office. He says the office
receives backup from neigh-
boring counties and police
departments but callers expe-
rienced a delay in response.
Credit card readers and

AUSTINTOWN (AP)
Authorities say one man is
hospitalized and four jailed in
his beating following a gather-
ing to celebrate the memory of
a friend killed in an Ohio high
school shooting.
Police tell The Vindicator
newspaper officers were called
on a noise complaint to an
apartment in Austintown, out-
side Youngstown, where the
group gathered Tuesday, the
one-month anniversary of the
Chardon High School shoot-
ing that killed three students.
Police say officers left and
the suspects beat the 19-year-old
victim, who was drunk, to keep
him quiet. Theyre accused of
then dragging him outside and
into a van, with plans to leave
him on a roadside.
Troopers say they pulled
over the van and found the
bloodied victim. He is expect-
ed to recover.
The four others, ages 19-21,
are charged with felonious
assault and kidnapping.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio
Secretary of State Jon Husted
is criticizing the state Elections
Commission for failing to penal-
ize a former sheriff who used
campaign coffers to pay court-
ordered restitution for stealing
cash from the fund.
The commission on Thursday
told the Plain Dealer it would
not immediately review last
months decision regarding for-
mer Cuyahoga County Sheriff
Gerald McFaul. It ordered its
executive director to write an
opinion. Husted, a Republican,
says using campaign funds for
restitution is illegal and allow-
ing McFaul to do so sends a
message that campaign finance
laws are useless.
McFaul, a Democrat, was
ordered to pay $130,000 in
restitution in 2010 after plead-
ing guilty to stealing campaign
cash, forcing employees to sell
fundraiser tickets and improp-
erly appointing his son as a
special deputy.
He resigned in 2009.

CLEVELAND (AP)
Attorneys for some defen-
dants charged in beard-cutting
attacks on fellow Amish in
Ohio say additional allegations
wont change how they fight
the charges.
An updated indictment filed
in federal court in Cleveland
added four defendants to bring
the total to 16 and added alle-
gations they tried to hide or
destroy evidence including a
bag of hair. It said ringleader
Sam Mullet Sr. lied to fed-
eral agents about an October
hair-cutting, considered deeply
offensive in Amish culture.
Mullet said he didnt order
hair-cutting but didnt stop oth-
ers from carrying it out to send
a message other Amish should
be ashamed of how they treated
him and his community.
Attorney says no change to Amish defense

WASHINGTON While
the rest of us have to wait
until June, the justices of the
Supreme Court will know the
likely outcome of the historic
health care case by the time
they go home this weekend.
After months of anticipa-
tion, thousands of pages of
briefs and more than six hours
of arguments, the justices will
vote on the fate of President
Barack Obamas health care
overhaul in under an hour this
morning. They will meet in
a wood-paneled conference
room on the courts main
floor. No one else will be
present.
In the weeks after this
meeting, individual votes can
change. Even who wins can
change, as the justices read
each others draft opinions
and dissents.
But todays vote, which
each justice probably will
record and many will keep
for posterity, will be followed
soon after by the assignment
of a single justice to write a
majority opinion, or in a case
this complex, perhaps two or
more justices to tackle differ-
ent issues. Thats where the
hard work begins, with the
clock ticking toward the end
of the courts work in early
summer.
The late William
Rehnquist, who was chief
justice for nearly 19 years,
has written that the courts
conference is not a bull ses-
sion in which off-the-cuff
reactions are traded. Instead,
he said, votes are cast, one by
one in order of seniority.
The conference also
is not a debate, says Brian
Fitzpatrick, a Vanderbilt
University law professor who
worked for Justice Antonin
Scalia 10 years ago. There
will be plenty of time for
the back-and-forth in dueling
opinions that could follow.
Theres not a whole lot
of give and take at the confer-
ence. They say, This is how
Im going to vote and give
a few sentences, Fitzpatrick
said.
It will be the first time the
justices gather as a group to
discuss the case. Even they
do not always know what the
others are thinking when they
enter the conference room
adjacent to Chief Justice John
Roberts office.
By custom, they shake
hands. Then Roberts will take
his seat at the head of a rect-
angular table. Scalia, the lon-
gest serving among them, will
be at the other end. The other
seven justices also sit accord-
ing to seniority, the four most
junior on one side across from
the other three.
They generally find
out how the votes line up
at the conference, said Orin
Kerr, a George Washington
University law professor who
worked for Justice Anthony
Kennedy nine years ago.
The uncertainty may be
especially pronounced in
this case, where the views of
Roberts and Kennedy are like-
ly to decide the outcome, Kerr
said in an interview Thursday.
I dont think anyone knows.
Im not sure Justice Kennedy
knows.
No ones vote counts more
than the others, but because
they speak in order of senior-
ity, it will become clear fairly
quickly what will become of
the health care overhaul.
Thats because Roberts
speaks first, followed by
Scalia, then Kennedy. If the
three men hold a common
view, the Obama health care
overhaul probably is history.
If they dont, it probably sur-
vives.
If Roberts is in the major-
ity, he will assign the main
opinion, and in a case of this
importance, he may well write
it himself, several former law
clerks said. If Roberts is a dis-
senter, the senior justice in the
majority assigns the opinion.
The court wont issue its
ruling in a case until drafts
of majority opinions and
any dissents have circulated
among the justices, chang-
es have been suggested and
either accepted or rejected.
Justices to vote on health
care insurance reform
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The
chairman of the House Budget
Committee said Thursday he
doesnt believe the nations
commanders gave Congress
a budget based on military
strategy, prompting a push
back from the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.
In one statement, Rep.
Paul Ryan challenged both
President Barack Obamas
defense budget request of
$614 billion for next year
and the weeks of testimony
from the leaders of the armed
services, who have said the
defense blueprint was crafted
based on a revised military
strategy.
We dont think the gen-
erals are giving us their
true advice, the Wisconsin
Republican told a National
Journal forum on the budget.
I think theres a lot of bud-
get smoke and mirrors in the
Pentagons budget.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, said he didnt inter-
pret Ryans comments as
suggesting the generals were
lying. Instead, Dempsey said
the remarks indicate that the
generals have failed to per-
suade lawmakers that the
budget was based on strategy,
not numbers.
So my response is, I stand
by my testimony, Dempsey
said during a trip from Latin
America to Washington. We
started with a strategy. We
mapped it to a budget. Its just
the first step.
Obama and congressional
Republicans agreed on a bud-
get last August that calls for
defense cuts of $487 billion
over a decade, a reflection of
the drawdown of two wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan and the
pressure to reduce the nations
deficit.
Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta has said the budget
shifts the Pentagons focus
from the long wars to future
challenges in Asia, the
Mideast and in cyberspace.
In congressional testimony,
Dempsey and other military
leaders have said the strat-
egy shaped the budget. But
Republicans contend that the
spending plan was built on
budget numbers the ones
they agreed to last summer.
Asked for clarification,
Conor Sweeney, a spokesman
for Ryan, said the congress-
man believes the integrity
of our generals and admi-
rals is unimpeachable. They
serve our country with dis-
tinction and unparalleled
honor. Unfortunately, there is
an inconsistency between the
strategic goals and the bud-
getary targets that our gener-
als and admirals have been
given by the White House.
The top Democrat on
the House Armed Services
Committee, Rep. Adam Smith
of Washington, demanded
that Ryan apologize.
Its very, very irresponsible
and shows a high level of igno-
rance on Paul Ryans part about
how the Defense Department
goes about making decisions,
Smith said in an interview. I
guess if you want to justify
your position you say whatever
you have to say, but theres no
question that the Pentagon did
a major, major strategic review
and as General Demesey and
others have said, this is the plan
they support and they believe
its the right direction for the
country.
After budgets nearly
doubled over a decade, the
Pentagon is looking at tighter
spending for next year
$525.4 billion in base spend-
ing and another $88.5 billion
for the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq. The total is near-
ly $32 billion less than this
years budget.
Lawmakers complained
Thursday that as the Pentagon
works to rein in spending,
the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter
program continues to exceed
expected costs.
Frank Kendall III, who has
been nominated to be under-
secretary of defense for acqui-
sition, told the Senate Armed
Services Committee, that the
program is about $150 billion
over budget but officials are
trying to minimize additional
overruns in the future. He
said there will continue to be
cost adjustments as the test
program goes on.

WASHINGTON U.S.
military commanders in
Afghanistan have assigned
guardian angels troops
that watch over their com-
rades even as they sleep
and have ordered a series of
other increased security mea-
sures to protect troops against
possible attacks by rogue
Afghans.
The added protections are
part of a directive issued in
recent weeks by Marine Gen.
John Allen, the top U.S. com-
mander in Afghanistan, to
guard against insider threats,
according to a senior military
official. And they come in the
wake of a spike in attacks on
U.S. and coalition forces by
Afghans, including the point-
blank shooting deaths of two
U.S. advisers in Afghanistans
Ministry of Interior.
Some of the changes have
been subtle, others not so
much.
In several Afghan min-
istries, Americans are now
allowed to carry weapons.
And they have been instructed
to rearrange their office desks
there to face the door, so they
can see who is coming in,
said the official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity
to describe the internal direc-
tive.
While Allen did not detail
the new measures in a briefing
earlier this week, he acknowl-
edged that changes had been
made.
We have taken steps nec-
essary on our side to protect
ourselves with respect to, in
fact, sleeping arrangements,
internal defenses associ-
ated with those small bases
in which we operate, Allen
said, adding that now some-
one is always overwatching
our forces.
The security measures
came after the U.S. military
mistakenly burned Qurans
and other religious materials
in February, triggering anti-
American demonstrations and
riots. And on Feb. 25, two
U.S. military advisers were
gunned down at their desks
in one of the most heavily
guarded ministry building in
Kabul.
As a result of the shootings,
more than 300 advisers were
pulled out of the Afghan min-
istries. So far, several dozen
have returned, but many will
not go back until additional
security measures are put in
place by the Afghans. That
would include better vet-
ting procedures, background
checks and physical security
measures at the ministries.
The military official also said
some advisers may not return,
since commanders have deter-
mined that some may no lon-
ger be needed in the jobs.
The military official said
Allen issued the directive
to get every single troop in
the war zone to read it and
think and to emphasize
that troops should be aware of
their surroundings as they go
about their jobs.
U.S. commanders and
Defense Secretary Leon
Panetta say the killings do not
represent a trend, and they say
that less than half of the kill-
ings have been by Afghans
associated with the Taliban.
Instead, Allen said, these
types of attacks come with
fighting an insurgency and
happened in Iraq and Vietnam.
The enemy, he said, will do
what it can to disrupt efforts
to train and grow a nations
indigenous security force.
Still, the recent spike in
Afghans gunning down troops
they are serving alongside
reflects increased tensions
between the two countries
just as the coalition escalates
efforts to train Afghans to
take over their own security
so that most NATO forces
can leave by the end of 2014.
WASHINGTON (AP)
The number of people seeking
U.S. unemployment benefits
dropped last week to the low-
est level in four years, adding
to evidence that the job market
is strengthening.
The Labor Department said
Thursday that weekly unem-
ployment benefit applications
fell by 5,000 to a seasonally
adjusted 359,000. Thats the
smallest number of applicants
since April 2008. The four-
week average, a less volatile
measure, declined to 365,000,
the lowest since May 2008.
The department also made
its annual revisions to the
past five years of unemploy-
ment benefit data. The revi-
sions increased the number of
unemployment benefit appli-
cants in recent months. But
the downward trend remains
intact, though it is less dra-
matic.
In the past six months,
applications have fallen about
12 percent. Before the revi-
sions, the decline was 16 per-
cent.
The trend remains unam-
biguously downwards, said
Ian Shepherdson, an economist
at High Frequency Economics.
We think the rate of decline
... is slowing ... but they are
still consistent with robust,
sustained payroll gains.
When unemployment ben-
efit applications drop consis-
tently below 375,000, it usual-
ly signals that hiring is strong
enough to lower the unem-
ployment rate. The decline
has coincided with the best
three months of hiring in two
years.
Separately, the U.S. econo-
my expanded at a solid pace in
the final three months of last
year, but growth is expected to
slow in the current quarter.
The economy grew at
annual rate of 3 percent in the
fourth quarter, the Commerce
Department said. But econo-
mists forecast it likely dipped
below 2 percent in the current
quarter.
Businesses have been
restocking their shelves at a
slower pace and shipping fewer
long-lasting manufactured
goods. In addition, Europes
debt crisis and slower growth
in Asia have reduced demand
for U.S. exports.
Stronger hiring in the
first two months of the year
probably hasnt offset those
weaknesses. Thats because
Americans pay has barely
kept pace with inflation while
gas prices have spiked. So
consumer spending, which
accounts for 70 percent of
economic activity, probably
hasnt increased much from
the end of last year.
Most economists expect
growth to pick up later this
year, as more hiring lifts the
economy.
From December through
February, employers added an
average of 245,000 jobs per
month. That has pushed down
the unemployment rate to 8.3
percent, the lowest in three
years.
Companies are hiring more
workers because the economy
is picking up. The economy
grew at an annual rate of 3 per-
cent in the final three months
of last year. That was better
than the 1.8 percent rate in the
previous quarter.
The number of people
receiving unemployment
benefits also fell. More than
7.1 million laid-off workers
received unemployment aid in
the week ended March 10, the
latest data available. Thats
about 130,000 lower than the
previous week.

FORT JENNINGS
Defense, pitching and timely
hitting.
Lincolnview used all three
of these elements of baseball
to record a 7-2 win over Fort
Jennings Thursday afternoon
in non-league action at the Fort
Jennings Community Park
Diamond. The win moves the
Lancers to 2-1 on the season,
while the Musketeers dropped
to 2-2 with the loss.
Coming off a 13-3 loss to
Van Wert Wednesday after-
noon, the Lancers turned to
Clayton Longstreth to get
them back in the win col-
umn. Longstreth did that as
he pitched six solid innings
of baseball, allowing two runs
on six hits. He had five strike-
outs in game and walked six
but was able to work out of
several jams as he only retired
the Musketeers in order once
in the game.
The key inning for
Longstreth was the fifth
inning as Fort Jennings loaded
the bases and had no one out.
Thats where Longstreths
defense bailed him out with a
key double play and a hustle
play by third baseman Connor
McCleery to end the inning.
Just after the Lancers had
taken a 3-2 lead in the top of
the fifth, the Musketeers were
threatening as they loaded the
bases on a Cody Warnecke
single and walks to Nick
Verhoff and Zach Schuerman.
Designated hitter Alex Vetter
sent a fly ball to left field that
Lancer Kyle Williams hauled
in. Williams then fired a strike
to home plate and catcher
Brady Niese, who tagged out
a sliding Cody Warnecke
to complete a double play.
Dylan VanLoo was up next
and popped up a pitch down
the third-base line. McCleery
chased down the pop-up and
hauled it in for the third out of
the inning.
That was a huge play
there, Lancer coach Brad
Mendenhall said of the double
play. It was a great play.
Kyle got behind it a little bit,
like he is supposed to, and
that helped get his momen-
tum going forward. The next
inning is where we scored
four runs.
The defensive gems turned
in by the Lancers inspired their
offense in the top half of the
sixth inning as Lincolnview
sent nine batters to the plate
to score four times.
Pinch hitter Derek Friesner
opened the inning with a
single before Niese followed
with a double to left-center
that put runners at second
and third base and forced the
Musketeers to make a pitching
change as Verhoff took over
for starter Troy Hellman.
Verhoff didnt get off to
a good start as he hit Mike
Klausing in the back to load
the bases. After a strikeout,
Nick Leeth padded the Lancer
lead with a single to right that
scored Friesner and Klausing.
Dalton Kayser sent a ground
ball towards first base that
was fielded by Nolan Neidert,
who then threw home in an
attempt to get Klausing, who
was trying to score. Klausing
beat the throw home, giving
Lincolnview a 6-2 lead. A
single by Longstreth allowed
Leeth to score making the
score 7-2. A strikeout and
groundout ended the inning.
Derek Friesner had start-
ed both of our first two games
and he struggled a little bit
Wednesday and I told him to
be ready tonight and he was,
Mendenhall said. He got us
off to a good start and we had
a lot of timely hitting, includ-
ing a big hit by Brady Niese
to left. Clayton had a pair of
big RBIs tonight and he did
a good job on the mound.
Brady Niese is our number
two catcher and goes back
there when Clayton pitches
and he did a great job back
there tonight.
After retiring the
Musketeers in order in the
bottom of the sixth, Fort
Jennings made things interest-
ing in the seventh as Hellman
walked and Cody Warnecke
doubled to center to put run-
ners at second and third base.
Lincolnview made a pitch-
ing change as Eli Farmer was
called on to get the final three
outs. Farmer did just that as
he used a line drive to right, a
ground ball back to the mound
and a strikeout to strand the
two Musketeer runners.
Fort Jennings stranded 10
base-runners in the game.
We missed out on a lot
of opportunities today, Fort
Jennings coach Jeff Swick
said. We had the bases load-
ed twice and couldnt come up
with a key hit, hitting a couple
of ground balls to shortstop.
He threw well and mixed up
his pitches. We are a work in
progress and we have to be
ready to step up in those kind
of situations and know what
we need to do with the ball.
Despite leaving a large
amount of runners on base in
the game, Fort Jennings had a
1-0 lead after one inning.
Kurt Warnecke opened
the Musketeer first with a
double down the right-field
line. A groundout by Neidert
moved Warnecke to third
before Hellman walked. An
errant pickoff attempt allowed
Warnecke to score from third
base.
Lincolnview had a base-
runner in each of the first
two innings but was unable to
score them.
In the third inning, the
Lancers broke through as
they pushed two runs home
to take a 2-1 lead. With one
out, Dalton Schmersal sin-
gled and Leeth was hit by a
pitch. A ground ball to first
base allowed the runners to
advance a base before they
scored on a single to right-
center by Longstreth.
Fort Jennings came right
back to tie the game as Kurt
Warnecke walked and took
second on a groundout.
Hellman singled, putting
runners at the corners. Cody
Warnecke showed bunt and
when Hellman drifted too far
off base, Niese threw to first
base in an effort to get him
retreating to first. Hellman slid
under the tag but Warnecke
was able to scamper home
with the tying run.
Lincolnview regained the
lead in the fifth as Williams
had a 2-out RBI single to left
that scored Leeth, who had
reached on an error and stole
second base.
Leeth had two singles in the
game, scored three runs and
stole two bases. Longstreth
had two singles and three
RBIs and Niese had a single
and double for the Lancers.
Of our three games,
this was probably our best,
Mendenhall added. We hit
the ball better tonight and
take away a couple of situa-
tions we played really good
Lancers put basics together to
down Musketeers in hardball

DELPHOS Both St.
Johns and Jefferson were
coming off baseball victories
the night before: the Blue
Jays scoring a late run to
best Crestview 7-6 at home,
while the Wildcats pummeled
Hardin Northern 23-2 on the
road; when they met up in
their annual crosstown battle
Thursday night at Wildcat
Field.
The Blue Jays carried it
over, scoring four times in
the top of the first, while
the Red and White were in
the doldrums, getting no-hit
(5 innings) by senior hurler
Cody Kundert, as the Blue
and Gold erupted to a 19-0
romp.
We carried it over from
the night before. Its so much
easier for everyone involved
when you get off to a good
start in the very first inning,
St. Johns coach Dan Metzger
noted. We got the bats out
early and hit the ball well; that
relaxes your defense and your
pitcher. Weve been working
to be consistent for the entire
game at the plate and we
were. We were swinging at
good pitches and not swing-
ing at bad pitches. Jefefrson
made some errors and we
capitalized.
The Jays (2-1) got off well
against Jefferson (2-3) senior
starter Tony George (0-1),
making his first appearance
on the mound since a late
pre-season arm injury eight
days ago. Junior Curtis Geise
(4-for-4, 3 runs, 2 runs batted
in, 3 stolen bases) led off with
a single to left. Senior Jordan
Bergfeld (2-for-3, 3 runs,
2 RBIs), himself recovered
ahead of schedule from off-
season shoulder surgery, got
aboard on a catchers-inter-
ference ruling by the home-
plate umpire. Senior Tanner
Calvelage (2-for-5, 2 runs)
slapped a knock to left to
plate Geise and sent Bergfeld
to third, himself taking sec-
ond on the throw. After junior
Troy Warnecke (2-for-3, 3
runs, 2 RBIs) walked and a
strikeout, Kundert helped his
cause with a 2-run (Bergfeld
and Calvelage) double to left
center. Senior Alex Wehri
bounced out to second to plate
Warnecke for that 4-0 lead.
I take full responsibil-
ity for starting Tony in that
situation. He hadnt pitched
in over a week and thats a
tough spot against a good-
hitting team, Jefferson head
man Doug Geary explained.
He had good velocity but he
didnt have his location. St.
Johns played an aggressive
game and played well; thats
to their credit.
George led off the home
half by getting aboard via
an error; an out hence, he
hustled to third on an error
on a pickoff play. Sophomore
Ross Thompson flied out to
center and a picture-perfect
Calvelage-Ryan Densel-
Austin Reindel relay the
umpire ruling that Reindel
held onto the ball long enough
caught George at home
for an inning-ending double
play.
That is the type of play
weve been making on defense
so far; were making the rou-
tine plays we need to make
and some of the not-so rou-
tine, Metzger added. Cody
was mixing his pitches
speeds and locations well.
He was throwing all three of
his pitches: fastball, changeup
and breaking ball where he
wanted. That allows him to
keep batters off-balance.
The Jays scored three
more in the second, started
by a Geise leadoff walk and
stolen base. Bergfeld walked.
George tried to pick Geise off
second but he broke for third
and easily swiped that base,
with Bergfeld following suit
a pitch later. An out later,
Warneckes single to left cen-
ter got Geise home and put
Bergfeld at third; an error on
the pay allowed Warnecke
to go to second. The senior
Reindel bounced out to short
to plate Bergfeld and move
Warnecke up a base. Kundert
walked. He got caught stray-
ing too far off first but got
into a rundown long enough
to allowed Warnecke to swipe
home for a 7-0 spread.
Austin Jettinghoff drew
a 1-out walk from Kundert
(2-0; 5 innings, no hits, 1
walk, 1 hit batter, 5 strike-
outs; 53 pitches, 31 strikes) in
the second but was left there.
Jefferson junior reliever
Zach Ricker retired the side
in order in the third.
Reindel made a diving
catch in foul territory for the
third out in Jeffersons half of
the third.
The Jays blew it open in the
fourth, sending 12 to the dish.
Geise again started it with
a knock to center, burgled a
base and scored via a double
to left-center by Bergfeld.
Calvelage put runners on the
corners with a bloop to right
and stole second. Warneckes
grounder was booted, with
both runners coming across
the plate and a 10-0 edge.
Reindel grounded a hit into
left. Warnecke was forced at
third by a Kundert ground-
er. Wehri walked to load
the bases. Ryan Bueschers
ground ball was misplayed,
with Reindel scoring and
leaving the bases loaded.
The senior Densel forced
Buescher at second, letting
Kundert touch the dish for a
12-zip score. Geise singled to
right to plate Wehri and move
Densel to third, from where
he scored on a single up the
gut by Bergfeld and a 14-0
bulge.
The visitors finished it in
the fifth. Warnecke beat out
an infield hit to deep short.
An error on senior pinch-hit-
ter Austin Jostpilles ground-
er allowed both runners on
board; both advanced on a
groundout by senior pinch-
hitter Brice Schulte and
scored courtesy of senior
pinch-hitter Isaac Klausings
2-run knock up the middle.
Bueschers sinking liner just
eluded a diving try by senior
centerfielder Mike Joseph for
a single. Densel beat out a
nibbler to third; an error on
the play allowed Klausing to
score and advanced Buescher
and Densel. Geises knock to
left plated Buescher for an
18-0 lead and a groundout
by junior pinch-hitter Andrew
Metzger scored Densel from
third for the final tally.
Kundert plunked junior
pinch-hitter Seth Wollenhaupt
with one out in the home fifth
but senior pinch-hitter Evan
Neubert in perhaps a fit-
ting way to end the game this
day had a Kundert pitch hit
off the nub of the bat and into
fair territory. An alert Reindel
threw to second to begin a
game-ending twin-killing.
I also take full responsi-
bility for us not being ready
to play today, Geary added.
We didnt hit anything and
we made mistakes in the field.
We will find out what kind of
character we have to bounce
back from this tomorrow
night. This is the type of game
we simply have to forget, learn
a lesson and move on.
The Wildcats have the
chance to get right back in
the swing of things tonight
(weather permitting) as they
head to Rockford to take on
Parkway.

AUGUSTA, Ga. The appoint-
ment of a new chief executive at
IBM has revived the debate over
Augusta Nationals all-male mem-
bership just one week before the
Masters.
IBM hired Virginia Rometty as its
CEO this year, which could mean a
break in recent tradition if Augusta
sticks to its history of never having
a woman as one of its roughly 300
members.
The last four CEOs of IBM all
belonged to the club. However, a
woman has never worn an Augusta
green jacket since it opened in 1933.
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif.

Defending champion Phil
Mickelson, Fred Couples and Ernie
Els, who needs a victory to qualify
for the Masters next week, were
playing their front nines when play
was suspended.
SCIACCA, Sicily Irelands
Peter Lawrie shot an 8-under 64
at Verdura Golf and Spa Resort to
take a 1-stroke lead after the first
round of the Sicilian Open.
Wales Jamie Donaldson,
Denmarks Soren Kjeldsen and

NEW ORLEANS The Saints
were still weighing whether to
appeal Sean Paytons suspension
and who to hire as an interim coach
should his season-long punishment
be upheld.
Payton, GM Mickey Loomis and
their staffs were in meetings at the
teams suburban headquarters and
focused primarily on preparations
for next months NFL draft, a per-
son familiar with the situation said,
speaking on condition of anonym-
ity because the Saints have not
announced their plans.
Paytons suspension in connec-
tion with the Saints bounty scandal
is slated to begin on Sunday and
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
has ruled he has until Monday to
appeal.

NEW ORLEANS
Looking for those charming
underdog stories? Go find the
DVD from last year.
This years
Final Four brings
together an
ensemble of big-
name schools,
all saddled with
their typically
big-time issues
a reminder that
everything in col-
lege sports is not
as pure as the NCAA and its
student-athletes would like
us to believe.
In the national semifi-
nals Saturday, Kentucky
plays Louisville and Ohio
State meets Kansas. All the
schools have made headlines
for a variety of off-the-court
reasons over the last several
months, including the prolif-
eration of one-and-done play-
ers, stories about coaches in
courtrooms and a handful of
financial misdeeds involving
recruits, players, coaches and
even ticket managers.
And so, while there are no
little vs. big stories this year
the way tiny Butler or over-
looked VCU beat the odds
last season to make it to col-
lege basketballs pinnacle
were regaled with tall tales of
redemption and resurrection:
Teams and coaches that over-
came their problems and got
everyone thinking about bas-
ketball instead of the under-
side of a business driven by a
$10.8 billion TV contract.
There are a lot of good
players out there who are per-
forming right now, Kentucky
coach John Calipari said.
For his part, Calipari is per-
fecting the art of luring a play-
er for one, maybe two seasons,
to contend for a championship,
then saying a guilt-free good-
bye. During his more candid
moments, hell tell you hes
no fan of the rule that allows
players to leave college after a
single year. But its out of his
hands. Its the NBA that put in
the rule stating players must
be 19 before they can enter
the draft.
Whats a coach to do?
I think they trust that
when the year is out, theyre
going to get the right infor-
mation and be treated fairly,
Calipari replied. They dont
worry about it. Historically,
we dont convince kids to stay
who should leave. They are
going to get the information
and they know that. They are
just going to play basketball.
It means freshmen Anthony
Davis and Michael Kidd-
Gilchrist, both projected as
high lottery picks, probably
will be gone after this season
and its not impossible to think
the rest of the starting lineup
all freshmen and sopho-
mores could leave, as well.
Calipari, who has had
NCAA trouble at every step
along his college head-coach-
ing career, said this is a price
worth paying for running a
players-first program
with players who worry about
winning first, then reap the
benefits when the NBA comes
calling.
While he applauds his
teams unselfishness, the
NCAA insists it is toughen-
ing its academic standards and
isnt so concerned with the 15
players who do leave after one
year but rather the 5,500 who
dont.
Ive made no secret of the
fact Id prefer to have a dif-
ferent model,
NCAA presi-
dent Mark
Emmert said.
Most people
want a differ-
ent model. It
would be nice
if that were
the case but I
dont think we
should blow one-and-done out
of proportion and suggest this
is undermining the educational
mission of the NCAA.
While the NCAA spins
that issue, its rules police have
spent plenty of time visiting
Ohio States athletic depart-
ment over the last several
years. First, there was the fir-
ing of coach Jim OBrien,
who was found to have given
money to a recruit, then later
sued the school for wrongful
termination because he got the
ax before the NCAA had offi-
cially determined hed done
anything wrong.
Thad Matta cleaned up that
mess and has led the Buckeyes
to the Final Four twice in the
last seven years. Though the
basketball program has recov-
ered nicely, the athletic depart-
ment didnt learn all its les-
sons: The football team is on
probation because of viola-
tions that happened during Jim
Tressels tenure.
The takeaway quote from
that entire episode came from
university president Gordon
Gee, when asked if he was
going to dismiss Tressel while
the coachs problems were still
unfolding.
No; are you kidding? Gee
asked with a laugh. Let me be
very clear. Im just hoping the
coach doesnt dismiss me.
The last year has not been
the greatest for college sports,
with child sex abuse allegations
at Penn State and Syracuse
and a number of scandals
uncovered at Miami, North
Carolina, Southern California,
Tennessee and elsewhere.
This week, of course, is sup-
posed to be a celebration of
whats right with college sports.
Yet its hard not to ignore some
tidbits that came up on the road
to the Final Four:
Louisville spent the first
two weeks of the tournament
off campus, not wanting to fly
back and forth to play games
scheduled by the NCAA in
Portland and Phoenix.
Last years champion,
Connecticut, isnt eligible to
play in the tournament next
year because of NCAA aca-
demic sanctions, though the
school is appealing.
This years Final Four
coaches are making between
$2.5 million and $3.8 million
this season and will cash in on
six-figure bonuses if they win
the national title.
The NCAA hasnt been as
big a player at Kansas but
thats not to say the Jayhawks
are immune to corruption.
Last May, five athletic
department employees and
consultants got between 37
and 57 months prison time
for unlawfully selling football
and basketball season tickets
to ticket brokers and others,
then pocketing the money.
Athletic director Lew
Perkins saw his name sul-
lied, and although he wasnt
accused of any wrongdoing,
he retired a year ahead of
schedule in the wake of the
scandal.
At Louisville, the NCAA
didnt get involved, but Pitino
certainly landed in the head-
lines for all the wrong rea-
sons.
His name was trending for
months while details of his
extramarital affair and the ensu-
ing extortion trial were aired out
in public. Pitinos reputation
was damaged, and the woman
who tried to bribe him to keep
the thing secret got a seven-year
prison sentence.
A lot of times the last two
years I took a lot of grief from
a lot of people saying a lot of
things, Pitino said last week
after Louisville beat Florida to
make his sixth Final Four. And
I never thought in my life I
could turn the other cheek and
just walk on. And I did. And
some of the most ugly things
Ive heard, I just took it inside.
And today, as I look back on it,
Im real proud that you could
turn the other cheek.
This week, Pitino keeps
looking forward, refusing to
take the bait from all those
Kentucky Wildcats fans,
who may never forgive the
59-year-old coach for leaving
them, heading to the NBA,
then coming back a few years
later to coach their archrival.
The Kentucky-Louisville
story line is the best thing
going this week in New
Orleans, for what Calipari pre-
dicts will be an epic Final
Four. Without any little teams
cluttering up the court, this
weekend will feature the
most talent, Calipari says,
since 2008, when he brought
Memphis and Derrick Rose to
the Final against Kansas and
Mario Chalmers.
Jared Sullinger (Ohio State),
Thomas Robinson (Kansas)
and Davis (Kentucky) are
first-team AP All-Americans.
Those three teams all have
other players who look very
much like NBA material in the
near future.
2008 was ridiculous,
added Calipari, whose trip to
the final later was vacated by
the NCAA because of viola-
tions. Guess what? This Final
Four will be very similar to
that.

The graphic tattoos that cover
the bodies of millions of Russian
prisoners symbolize their sins and
crimes, their pain and suffering.
Some of the tattoos are beauti-
ful and hint at redemption. Others
are disgusting, especially those
etched involuntarily into the faces
of victims by other prisoners as
punishment for especially shame-
ful crimes behind bars or on the
outside.
Put all of these images together,
said artist Scott Erickson, and they
tell the stories of broken people.
Thats the big idea that gripped
him as he studied tattoo culture
while creating a set of Stations of
the Cross images for a Lenten art
exhibit at Ecclesia Church in the
hip, edgy Montrose neighborhood
near downtown Houston.
For many young Americans,
its impossible to talk about their
tattoos without needing to candid-
ly describe the peaks and valleys
of their own lives. The tattoos are
like emotional maps that are hard
to hide.
We have lots of people who
have tattoos. Some members of
our church have criminal records.
Some have been shamed and
abused. Some have struggled with
drugs, explained Erickson, who
serves as artist in residence at
Ecclesia.
A lot of these people thought
they needed to cover up their tat-
toos when they started coming to
church. They werent sure that
they wanted to share those parts
of their lives with others, he said.
What were trying to do is tell
them that their tattoos are part of
who they are and now we want to
talk about who they are becom-
ing.
Thus, the leaders of Ecclesia
Church -- created in 1999 by a co-
alition of Southern Baptists, Pres-
byterians and others -- have raised
eyebrows and inspired headlines
by embracing tattoos as the artis-
tic medium for their eighth annual
art exhibit during the 40-day sea-
son that leads to Easter. The title
is Cruciformity: Stations of the
Cross on Skin.
The plan, explained the Rev.
Chris Seay, was for 10 members
to have Ericksons images perma-
nently tattooed onto their bodies
shortly before Ash Wednesday.
These volunteers would stand in
the churchs gallery on the rst
night of Lent, surrounded by pho-
tos of their tattoos -- photos that
would then remain on display
throughout the season.
Instead, at least 60 members of
the church have visited one of the
dozen or so nearby tattoo studios
to mix blood, sweat and ink and
another dozen have scheduled ap-
pointments. Seay said as many as
150 may end up taking part, out
of a ock averaging about 1,500
worshippers in ve weekend ser-
vices.
I have spent way more time
than I ever expected trying to talk
some people out of doing this, he
said. People need to give this de-
cision some serious thought. ... Its
also good to seek the permission
of your spouse.
The pastor decided to cover his
right upper arm with an image of a
tree growing out of an empty cof-
n -- Ericksons symbol for Jesus
rising from the dead. Seay had a
tattoo artist inscribe a tribute on
the trunk in honor of his grandfa-
ther, a prominent Southern Baptist
pastor who died this past year.
I was a bit worried at rst,
he said, but my grandmother said
she thought it was beautiful.
One church member, who
works with cancer patients, had
the Jesus is Laid in the Tomb
image -- a rose in a cofn -- tat-
tooed on one foot and plans to
add the resurrection image on her
other foot. One mother selected
the Jesus Meets His Mother im-
age, which is a rose surrounded
by symbols of suffering. Another
member, with his wifes blessing,
plans to have all 10 images tat-
tooed onto his body.
The project has already created
buzz in the tattooing community,
said Erickson.
But the key is not that some
members of this church decided
get tattoos. The key is that more
than half of its members already
had tattoos -- like 36 percent of
Americans between 18 and 25, ac-
cording to a Pew Forum study.
Our invitation to do this was
not for everybody, said Erickson.
Were not creating a tribe, here.
You dont have to have a tattoo
to come to this church. ... But we
already have so many people here
who do have tattoos and those
images are part of their stories.
Were telling them that its good
for them, that its normal, to add
Christian symbols into that mix.
They get it.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Catholic converting
to Judaism
Dear Annie: Im 20 and
attending college near my par-
ents home. Despite what my
Catholic family wants, Ive
been exploring other religions
for the past five years and
have decided that Judaism is
the right road for me. I want
to let my family in on this
process, but Im afraid theyll
react badly and insist that my
Jewish fiance is swaying my
decision.
My mother is starting to
pick up on the fact that I
havent been going to church
with her. She has
informed me that
she would be
greatly insulted if
I became Jewish,
because all those
years of putting me
through Catholic
school would be for
naught. She recent-
ly hoped loudly that
eventually I would
do the right thing
and come back.
Im tired of lying
when they ask where I go on
Friday evenings. Help? -- At
the Crossroads
Dear Crossroads: There
is some validity to the claim
that your fiance may be influ-
encing your decision, but that
is to be expected. Even if
he isnt making a concerted
effort to convert you, his pref-
erences and beliefs would be
persuasive on their own.
We respect the fact that
you have spent five years
considering your decision,
which indicates youve done
a great deal of thinking.
But we also recognize that
most of this five-year period
took place while you were
a teenager and quite young
for such a life-changing deci-
sion. Regardless, please stop
lying to your parents. If this
is the path you have chosen,
you must be able to stand up
for your beliefs in the face
of their disappointment. The
sooner you start, the more
time they will have to recon-
cile themselves to the situa-
tion. You also can enlist the
help of your rabbi.
Dear Annie: I am writing
this to help military families
who are at home while their
spouses are deployed. As a
military spouse for 20 years, I
am sometimes overwhelmed,
exhausted and isolated.
Deployments are lengthy, and
training adds to the time we
are separated. Life is chal-
lenging.
We often encounter people
who want to thank my hus-
band for his service. I thank
them for their support. But if
you know of a military spouse
who is alone, here are a few
suggestions:
Offer to babysit for free.
Older children often miss out
on evening events because
younger siblings need to be in
bed or its too difficult to take
them all to the event. Offer to
drive the children to practices
or games and supervise them.
Include their children in your
family outings, and give the
military spouse an afternoon
off.
Take a meal to the family.
A frozen casserole is a treat on
a hectic day. Or treat them to a
meal out. Anywhere.
Offer to mow the lawn,
wash the car, check under
the hood or take a pet to the
vet. Check on them when the
weather is extreme. Send their
spouse a letter. Call and ask
what you can do to help.
Please help the military by
helping out military families.
A little kindness goes a long
way. -- A Soldiers
Spouse Anywhere
Dear Soldiers
Spouse: Thank you
for reminding our
readers of the simple
things they can do to
help out our service-
men and women
and the families that
stand behind them.
Dear Annie: I
read the letter from
Old in Indiana,
the 90-year-old
woman who wondered how to
divide her possessions among
her daughters and daughters-
in-law.
Several years before my
lovely mother passed away,
she had all her valuables
appraised. Then, in her own
handwriting, she wrote who
got what next to each piece.
I encourage everyone to do
the same. It made a difficult
time so much easier when we
knew we were honoring her
wishes. I consider it her final
gift to us. -- Missing Mom in
Maryland
Dear Annie: Would you
please ask your readers to list
a charity or medical organiza-
tion in lieu of flowers in death
notices? Too many people
send flowers when there is a
decline in giving to medical
research.
At a recent visitation,
there were two rooms full of
flowers. Within a few hours,
flowers die. Please help raise
awareness that there are other
significant ways to remember
the deceased. -- Friend of a
Young Lung Cancer Victim

SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2012
You wont let more work or larger
responsibilities in the
year ahead intimidate
you. Youll realize
that the bigger the
jobs are, the more
significant the returns
are likely to be.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --
Keep your disagreements with your
mate or special someone to yourself
when out in public. You wont feel
any better if you let things rip -- in
fact, you might find yourself being
frowned upon.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Be understanding, not critical, when
someone is trying to help you, even if
he or she is going about it all wrong. If
the person feels you dont appreciate
the help, itll never be offered again.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If
youre not careful, extravagance could
get the better of you, leaving you
with inadequate resources to acquire
something that you really need. Put
necessity ahead of desire.
CANCER (June 21-July
22) -- Stick to matters that are
materially meaningful, which you are
exceptionally good at handling, and
leave the social concerns -- where you
could bomb -- up to someone else.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Most
limitations you experience will be the
result of your own negative thinking
and/or behavior. If you want to
succeed, you must have an expansive,
optimistic outlook.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) --
Giving is a two-way street. People
will treat you kindly if youre equally
as generous with them as they are with
you -- that can mean with your time as
well as with your possessions.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It
might not be too smart to request a
business favor from someone you
know purely on a social basis. Once
you cross that line, it could chill the
relationship.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- Unfortunately, thinking and doing
are not one and the same thing. You
might simply seek out accolades and
endorsement, yet not necessarily want
to do anything to earn them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- If youre not getting the best
results by using traditional techniques,
experiment with some new procedures.
It may be time for a change.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- Forming an association for
the wrong reasons might drag you
down instead of making your position
stronger. Make sure any big move you
make has a legitimate purpose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- Before making any impulsive
promises to an old friend, you should
think twice. Your good intentions
could go by the board when you
realize its an inconvenience.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
When taking on a job or performing
a service for another, be absolutely
certain you estimate the cost
accurately. Any oversight will come
out of your pocket, not the clients.

Florida shooters race a complicated matter
By SUZANNE GAMBOA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON At first, the shooting
death of an unarmed black teenager at the hands
of a white neighborhood watch volunteer was
playing out like many previous tragedies that
cut short the lives of young black men.
Soon however, it became obvious that sort-
ing out racial dynamics in the death of 17-year-
old Trayvon Martin would not be simple. Police
described the shooter, George Zimmerman, as
white. His father called him a Spanish speak-
ing minority with many black relatives and
friends.
While public outrage simmered over per-
ceptions that local police didnt do enough
to investigate Martins death, possible racial
motives on Zimmermans part became tough to
pin down. His background and associations cut
across racial lines, and his racial identity didnt
fit neatly into a box.
Its easy to label this as an act of white rac-
ism, but its really an act of stereotyping, which
many groups are capable of and it is occur-
ring in the context of extraordinarily permis-
sive laws, said Manuel Pastor, a professor of
American studies and ethnicity at the University
of Southern California.
On Twitter, there was genuine confusion
about Zimmermans race. Is he Latino or white?
Is Hispanic a race, or not? Shouldnt he, a
Latino, have known better than to engage in
racial profiling? Might he be Jewish, based on
his last name? Many said his Hispanic lineage
had nothing to do with the fact that the justice
system had failed Martin, while some said
Zimmermans identity was very important.
Im actually happy that George Zimmerman
is Hispanic so the usual white people are all
guilty by virtue of their skin color stuff wont
work, said a March 22 tweet by John Hawkins,
who described himself as a professional blogger
at Right Wing News.
Hispanic people can be black, white, Asian
or mixed. Some 18 million Latinos checked
the some other race category on their 2010
Census forms which admonished in bold
letters that Hispanic is not a race. So many
Hispanics identified themselves as white, the
overall number of white people in the United
States increased.
We sit in this in between place in the United
States. In the U.S., when we think about race,
its usually black and white. ... Latinos com-
plicate that dichotomy, said Cynthia Duarte,
associate director of research for the Institute of
Latino Studies at Notre Dame.
On voter registration forms, George
Zimmerman identified himself as Hispanic,
as did his mother. His father, Robert, listed
himself as white on voter registration forms.
Zimmermans mother, Gladys, is originally
from Peru.
Ethnicities in Peru run the gamut.
Descendants of the original people or
Amerindians of Peru, those who were under
rule of the Inca empire, are the largest eth-
nic group, followed by those who are a mix
of Spanish and Amerindian ancestry, also
known as mestizos. Whites are about 15 per-
cent of the population, followed by blacks,
Asians and other groups. Class distinctions
based on race and language persist in Peru,
with whites at the top of the societal hierarchy
and indigenous people often at the bottom, a
vestige of Spanish colonialism.
Kay Hall, a former neighbor of the
Zimmermans when they lived in Manassas, Va.,
said Zimmermans mother spoke fluent English
and Spanish but shes not certain if George
Zimmerman or his brother spoke Spanish. She
didnt remember Gladys sharing any stories
about her life in Peru or seeing the family
carrying out any traditional Peruvian cultural
activities.
I saw Hispanics, blacks, all kinds of people
visiting over there, Hall said. I dont think
they had any kind of racial problems.
Neither Zimmerman nor his family members
were available to comment about their fam-
ily history. Beyond whats in the police report,
Zimmerman has yet to give his side of what
happened the night of Feb. 26, when he called
police to say he was following a suspicious
person he believed was on drugs, while Martin,
wearing a hooded sweat shirt, walked through
the gated Sanford, Fla., townhome commu-
nity where Zimmerman lives. Police have not
charged Zimmerman, who told them he shot
Martin in self-defense, something considered
justified homicide under Floridas stand your
ground law.
What Martins case represents most pro-
foundly is how hazardous it is to judge people
simply on the basis of the way they look,
said Janet Murguia, president of the National
Council of La Raza. The cautionary tale applies
both to Martin and to Zimmerman, she said.
The bottom line is you cant tell if someone
is Latino simply by looking at them, Murguia
said.
Where Zimmerman may fit within the
range of Hispanic identity is another matter.
Although Robert Zimmerman described his son
as Spanish speaking, its clear from the 911
call made that night that George Zimmerman
is comfortable speaking English. Some Latinos
may not consider Zimmerman to be truly Latino,
since only one of his parents is Hispanic.

little fights along the way,
Breece said. Were doing a
jazz number to Shake Your
Shimmy. We changed the
song five times.
We kept changing it until
our parents made us stick
with that one, Madilynn
said.
The girls pride themselves
on having taken charge of
their project.
We choreographed the
whole thing ourselves,
Josie said.
As is the case with most
contests of this nature, the
auditions were the part the
girls found most difficult.
They were scary. Also it
was a really small space, so
it was hard for us to dance
our routine, Breece said.
The time of the try-outs
also added to their discom-
fort.
It was really early in
the morning, too, Madilynn
said. We were all half-
asleep and shaking.
Even with all of the
nerve-wracking moments,
the quartet is still finding
the contest enjoyable.
Its been a lot of fun so
far, Josie said. Not the
practices so much but weve
had fun preparing for it,
doing our hair and stuff.
Except for when
Kambrynn got mad at us for
dumping glitter all over her
face, Breece added.
Madilynn and Breece,
both having been in dance
for 10 years, have come to
appreciate dancing as an
emotional outlet.
You get to express how
you are feeling and I like
that, Madilynn said. Plus
its just a lot of fun to do.
I like that I can express
myself, Breece agreed. If
I get mad I can go to dance
and let it all out.
Younger sisters Josie
and Kambrynn, in dance
for eight and seven years,
respectively, have their
own reasons for sticking
with it.
I like that I get to dance
with my sister and my
friends, Josie said. Also,
Im good at it.
You get skinny,
Kambrynn giggled. Its
also a lot of fun.
As for whether or not they
plan to try out in the future,
the two sets of friends are
split on the matter.
Breece and I might try
out again but probably not,
Madilynn said.
Kambrynn and I are
going to try out together
next year just us two,
Josie said.

Autism: Doctors say check early
By LINDSEY TANNER
Associated Press
CHICAGO At 18 months, Cristina Astacio spoke only a few
words, wouldnt respond to her name and shunned other kids in her
day care group. Last October, her worried parents found out why.
She has a mild form of autism, a diagnosis being given to more
U.S. children than ever before, largely because of more awareness
and better diagnosis.
According to new government statistics, the rate is about 1 in
88. That means autism is nearly twice as common as the govern-
ment reported just five years ago. The largest increases are in
Hispanic kids like Cristina.
The definition of autism has changed over the years, and Cristina
might not have been considered autistic two decades ago.
But experts say kids like her are lucky in a way, because her par-
ents recognized early that something was wrong. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention report issued Thursday found that
40 percent of kids werent diagnosed until after age 4. Evidence
shows that children who are identified early and get help have the
best chance for reaching their potential, said CDC Director Dr.
Thomas Frieden.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends autism
screening for all children at age 18 months and 2 years.
Diagnosing the developmental disorder relies on observing
behavior. Autism cant be cured, but treatment including intensive
behavior therapy can help many kids function better.
The academys Dr. Susan Hyman said many children who
arent making eye contact and arent talking may have autism,
but they may have other things. She said its important for parents
to be persistent about their concerns with their doctor so their kids
can be evaluated.
Kristy Batesole, of Atascadero, Calif., says she suspected
something was wrong with her son, Keegan, even when he was
a hard-to-calm overly fussy baby. He learned words, but by age 2
stopped talking, would spend hours opening and closing doors and
sometimes bang his head on the ground.
Though he started getting special help in preschool in Nevada,
he wasnt formally diagnosed with autism until last year, at age 6,
after the family moved to California, where there are more autism
specialists.
Cristina Astacio gets two hours of behavior therapy six days a
week. Her mom, Charisse, says the little girl now responds to com-
mands and speaks about 50 words. The most special are two words
Cristina never said before. Now she says mommy and daddy,
Astacio said. Its wonderful.
Museum plays April Fools joke
CINCINNATI Fool me once, the saying goes. But 50 times?
Thats what a convincing art forger did for nearly three decades when
he donated his copies of Picassos and other works of art to unsuspect-
ing museums in 20 states.
Mark A. Landis, who has dressed as a Jesuit priest or posed as
a wealthy donor driving up in a red Cadillac, apparently never took
money for his forgeries and has never been arrested.
Now his works have been collected into their own tongue-in-
cheek exhibit, called Faux Real and opening on April Fools Day at
the University of Cincinnati.
Educating people about forgery and letting people know about
Landis is the only way to stop him, said Mark Tullos, director of
the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum in Lafayette, La.,
which was duped in 2010 with a donation of a painting supposedly
by American Charles Courtney Curran.
Landis creates works in oil, watercolor, pastels, chalk, ink and
pencil, making most of his copies from museum or auction catalogs
that provide dimensions and information on the originals.
He sometimes bestows gifts under different names, such as the
Father Arthur Scott alias used at Hilliard. In that case, he told offi-
cials that his dead mother had left works including Currans oil-on-
wood painting Three Women and that he was donating it in her
memory.
Tullos said museum employees became suspicious when Landis
kept changing the subject under questioning. After he drove off, the
museum quickly concluded it was a forgery.
To convince museums he is a philanthropist, he also concocts
elaborate stories about health concerns, said Cincinnati exhibit co-
curator Matthew Leininger.
He has been having heart surgery for almost 30 years, Leininger
said with a frustrated laugh. This is the strangest case the museum
realm has known in years.
Landis, 57, acknowledges what hes up to. He told The Associated
Press in a phone interview from his home in Laurel, Miss., that he
made his first forgery donation to a California museum in 1985.
They were so nice. I just got used to that, and one thing led to
another, he said. It never occurred to me that anyone would think
it was wrong.
The Cincinnati exhibit of about 40 works given to 15 museums
grew to around 100 when Landis donated 60 pieces he possesses,
along with his priests outfit.
The Faux Real show will run through May 20 at the Dorothy W.
and C. Lawson Reed Jr. Gallery. It depicts famous art forgers, details
of how Landis made some donations and ways of detecting fakes.
Visitors can view some works under ultraviolet light that causes sec-
tions to glow if they contain contemporary ingredients.
Company says alert system worked in Colorado wildre
By REMA RAHMAN
The Associated Press
CONIFER, Colo. Mary
Thuente says her neighbors
got an automated call warn-
ing them to flee their home
as a wildfire spread over
the mountains southwest of
Denver but she never got one
before she left.
Jack Ogg doesnt think
he got a telephone warning
either, though its possible it
may have come while he was
outside rounding up his dogs
and his neighbors pets. After
that, he rushed away with 15
people and animals squeezed
into his Jeep after firefight-
ers asked him to take some
neighbors with him.
Authorities said Thursday
that an estimated 12 percent
of people in the path of the
wildfire, apparently sparked
by a prescribed burn that
flared up, never got a call to
evacuate. Jefferson County
sheriffs spokeswoman Jacki
Kelley said a software glitch
may have been to blame,
though officials were still
reviewing what went wrong.
But FirstCall Network
Inc., which handles the coun-
tys system that automati-
cally calls residents, said the
system worked exactly as it
should. The 12 percent rep-
resents residents who either
had disconnected numbers or
didnt answer, said Matthew
Teague, president of the
Baton Rouge, La., company.
Reaching 88 percent of
people in the middle of a
weekday is a great percent-
age, he said.
Officials originally said
about 900 residences received
automated evacuation notic-
es. Teague said it would take
a few minutes to notify that
many households.
A couple found dead in
the burn area Sam Lamar
Lucas, 77, and Linda M.
Lucas, 76, who was known
by some of her friends as
Moaneti Lucas received
an evacuation call, but it was
not clear when, Kelley said.
Fire zone resident Ann
Appel, who remains missing,
also was called, Kelley said.
The Appel family issued a
statement Thursday saying
they were deeply grateful
to those searching for her.
One of the Lucases neigh-
bors, Eddie Schneider, said he
didnt get a call and he knew
the couple were packed to go
if they received an order to
evacuate. Schneider said he
left after a firefighter warned
him to leave.
The fire has damaged or
destroyed about 25 homes
and has blackened about 6
square miles in the most-
ly rural area southwest of
Denvers populous suburbs.
More than 500 firefighters
were at the blaze Thursday,
hoping to expand their con-
tainment line in case hot and
windy weather returns this
weekend as predicted.
Crews cleared lines on 45
percent of the fires 8.5-mile
perimeter and made enough
progress to allow some
residents to return home
Thursday. Kelley said 180
homes were still evacuated.
Two planes that drop fire
retardant were diverted to a
fire in South Dakota, but four
Black Hawk helicopters from
the Colorado Air National
Guard were still dropping
water on the blaze.
