Pioneer Spirit Day outlinesnew strategic initiatives

PIQUA — Pioneer’sCooperative Spirit Dayand 77thAnnualMeetingactivities focused on ac-complishments of 2012and plans for 2013 andbeyond. The day’s activi-ties began with a break-fast and legislativeupdate for members ofACRE and Co-op Ownersfor Political Action. Thespeaker for the event wasZaneT.Daniels,Presidentof the Ohio Coal Associa-tion.Pioneer is a not-for-

profit cooperative utilityfocused solely on itsmem-bers.Following the PAC

He re-ported to attendees that2012 had seen no increasein electric distributionrates and a record highcapital credits retirementto current and formermembers.He went on to an-

nounce that in 2013, theline on distribution rateswould be held again andanother $3.8million capi-tal credit retirement hadbeen approved by theboard. In May, currentand former members ofPioneer will receive therefunds in bill credits orchecks respectively. Theretirement of these fundswill bring the total tonearly $35 million since1981.In an early session Pio-

neer’s manager of vegeta-tion control, DannyBagwell, discussed theplight of ash trees inOhio,17 other states andCanada. A certified ar-borist and utility special-ist, Bagwell reported asmall green insect – theemerald ash borer – is lit-erally killing all ash inthe area.“Ohio’s tree population

is being reduced signifi-

cantly, and there is a seri-ous potential hazard toelectric service in thearea of these dying trees,”Bagwell said. The treesare basically choked outby the emerald ash borerand die at the root base.The dead trees can easilybe toppled by winds orother falling trees. Fallingtrees in the vicinity ofelectric lines can pullthem down interruptingservice. Of course, thedead trees can be a safetyconcern to homes andother property as well.The unique condition ofthe afflicted trees’ rootbases also make them achallenge to remove,Bag-well said.The cooperativehas done the researchand is now formulatingan aggressive plan overthe next four years to as-sist in removing the serv-ice and safety hazardthese dying giants pres-ent.Ron Salyer, presi-

dent/CEO of Pioneer, ad-dressed the group priorto the business sessionin his annual manage-ment update. Highlightsfrom his material in-

cluded the announce-ment the cooperativehad achieved the strate-gic initiatives laid out bythe board and manage-ment staff in 2010.

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sportplayed between two teams of nine play-ers. The aim is to score runs by hitting athrown ball with a bat and touching aseries of four bases arranged at the cor-ners of a 90-foot diamond. Players on thebatting team take turns hitting against thepitcher of the fielding team, which tries toprevent runs by getting hitters out in anyof several ways. A player on the battingteam can stop at any of the bases andlater advance via a teammate's hit orother means. The teams switch betweenbatting and fielding whenever the fieldingteam records three outs. One turn at batfor each team constitutes an inning andnine innings make up a professionalgame. The team with the most runs atthe end of the game wins.

Evolving from older bat-and-ballgames, an early form of baseball wasbeing played in England by the mid-18thcentury. This game was brought by immi-grants to North America, where the mod-ern version developed. By the late 19thcentury, baseball was widely recognizedas the national sport of the United States.Baseball now is popular in North

America, parts of Central and SouthAmerica and the Caribbean, and parts ofEast Asia.

In the United States and Canada,

professional Major League Baseball(MLB) teams are divided into theNational League (NL) and AmericanLeague (AL), each with three divisions:East, West and Central. The majorleague champion is determined by play-offs that culminate in the World Series.Five teams make the playoffs from eachleague: the three regular season divisionwinners, plus two wild card teams.Baseball is the leading team sport inboth Japan and Cuba, and the top levelof play is similarly split between twoleagues: Japan's Central League andPacific League; Cuba's West League andEast League. In the National and Centralleagues, the pitcher is required to bat,per the traditional rules. In the American,Pacific and both Cuban leagues, there isa 10th player, a designated hitter, whobats for the pitcher. Each top-level teamhas a farm system of one or more minorleague teams.

Endangeredgiraffe bornGREENWICH, Conn.

(AP) — A rare, nearly 6-foot-tall giraffe listed as anendangered subspecieshas been born in a Con-necticut conservation cen-ter.The Greenwich Time re-

ports that Petal, a 6-year-old Rothschild giraffe gavebirth on Friday to femalecalf as a group of other gi-raffes and staff at the LEOZoological ConservationCenter watched.Marcella Leone,

founder and director of thecenter, said the young ani-mal is curious, approach-ing humans early on in itsfirst days of life.When fully grown, the

newborn, who will minglewith a group of five gi-raffes, which includes twopregnant giraffes, couldreach 18 feet in height.The calf is the first born

at the off-exhibit conserva-tion center.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — When TeddyJackson heard Sunday morning that thelone winning ticket for a $338.3 millionPowerball drawing was sold in New Jer-sey, the Toms River resident combedthrough his 40 tickets and hoped for thebest.About 20 minutes later, after checking

each ticket at least a couple times, Jack-son realized he would have to go work onMonday.“There were a few where I had one or

two numbers, but that was it,” the 45-year-old electrician said Sunday. “Now, Ihave to watch someone else get mymoney, buy the powerboat I would havegotten …. it was fun to dream aboutthose things for a few minutes while Ichecked everything.”Details on where and when the win-

ning ticket was purchased and other re-lated information were not disclosedSunday by New Jersey Lottery officials,who also would not say if anyone claim-ing to hold the ticket had contacted them

as of Sunday afternoon.They said information on the ticket

would be released at a news conferenceon Monday morning at the lottery’sheadquarters in Lawrenceville.Lottery officials say it was the fourth-

largest jackpot in Powerball history. Thenumbers drawn were 17, 29, 31, 52, 53and Powerball 31. A lump sum payoutwould be $221 million.Retailers in New Jersey said the

growing jackpot had spurred a big boostin ticket sales in recent days, and manypeople were willing to stand in long linesto get their tickets. Staffers at somestores said Sunday that they didn’t knowwhere the winning ticket had been sold.“We are hoping that we sold it here be-

cause that would be a blessing for one ofour customers in these tough times,” saida worker at a Camden area conveniencestore.Lottery officials said 13 tickets worth

$1 million apiece — matching the firstfive numbers but missing the Powerball

— were sold in Arizona, Florida (2), Illi-nois, Minnesota, North Carolina, NewJersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania(2), South Carolina and Virginia.Powerball said on its website that the

grand prize jackpot has now been resetto an estimated $40 million or a lumpsum cash amount estimated at $25 mil-lion for Wednesday’s next drawing.No one had won the Powerball jackpot

since early February, when Dave Honey-well in Virginia bought the winningticket and elected a cash lump sum forhis $217 million jackpot.The largest Powerball jackpot ever

came in at $587.5 million in November.The winning numbers were picked ontwo different tickets — one by a couplein Missouri and the other by an Arizonaman — and the jackpot was split.Nebraska still holds the record for the

largest Powerball jackpot won on a sin-gle ticket — $365 million. That jackpotwas won by eight workers at a Lincolnmeatpacking plant in February 2006.

Al-Buti, hisgrandson and scores of others were killed Thursday when a suicide bomber detonated his ex-plosives inside a mosque where al-Buti was giving a religious lesson. His assassination wasa blow to Assad, who vowed Friday to avenge his death.

Kerryissues

warningBAGHDAD (AP) — Just

days after the 10th anniversaryof theU.S. invasion of Iraq,U.S.Secretary of State John Kerryconfronted Baghdad for contin-uing to grant Iran access to itsairspace and said Iraq’s behav-ior was raising questions aboutits reliability as a partner.Speaking to reporters dur-

ing a previously unannouncedtrip to Baghdad, Kerry saidthat he and Iraqi Prime Minis-ter Nouri al-Maliki had en-gaged in “a very spiriteddiscussion” on the Iranianflights, which U.S. officials be-lieve are ferrying weapons andfighters intended for the em-battled Syrian government.Kerry said the plane ship-

ments — along with materialbeing trucked across Iraqi ter-ritory from Iran to Syria —were helping President BasharAssad’s regime cling to powerby increasing their ability tostrike at Syrian rebels and op-position figures demandingAssad’s ouster.“I made it very clear that for

those of us who are engaged inan effort to see PresidentAssadstep down and to see a demo-cratic process take hold… any-thing that supports PresidentAssad is problematic,” Kerrysaid at a news conference at theU.S.Embassy in Baghdad aftermeeting separately withMalikiat his office. “And Imade it veryclear to the Prime Ministerthat the overflights from Iranare, in fact, helping to sustainPresident Assad and hisregime.”The overflights in Iraq have

long been a source of con-tention between the U.S. andIraq. Iraq and Iran claim theflights are carrying humani-tarian goods, but American of-ficials say they are confidentthat the planes are being usedto arm the support the Assadregime. The administration iswarning Iraq that unless ac-tion is taken, Iraq will be ex-cluded from the internationaldiscussion about Syria’s politi-cal future.U.S. officials say that in the

absence of a complete ban onflights, Washington would atleast like the planes to land andbe inspected in Iraq to ensurethat they are carrying human-itarian supplies. Former Secre-tary of State Hillary RodhamClinton secured a pledge fromIraq to inspect the flights lastyear, but since then only twoaircraft have been checked byIraqi authorities, according toU.S. officials.One senior U.S. official trav-

eling with Kerry said the sheernumber of overflights, whichoccur “close to daily,” alongwith shipments trucked toSyria from Iran through Iraq,was inconsistent with claimsthey are only carrying human-itarian supplies. The officialsaid it was in Iraq’s interest toprevent the situation in Syriafrom deteriorating further, par-ticularly as there are fears thatal-Qaida-linked extremistsmay gain a foothold in thecountry as the Assad regimefalters.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)— A woman and two of hersons were improving at hospi-tals on Sunday after they wereseriously injured when a flightinformation billboard fell onthem at an airport.A third son was killed Fri-

day when the electronic board,weighing at least 300 pounds,fell at the Birmingham-Shut-tlesworth International Air-port.The boys’ mother, Heather

Bresette, had broken anklesand a crushed pelvis. She hadsurgeries over the weekendand was getting better, Uni-versity Hospital spokeswomanNicole Wyatt said. However,she was still in intensive careand unconscious.“She does not know that her

baby is dead,” said the family’spriest, the Rev. Don Farnan.The Bresettes, a family of

seven, took a weeklong vaca-

tion in Destin, Fla., and wereabout to fly home to OverlandPark, Kan., when the sign fell.Luke Bresette, 10, was

killed. His brother, 5-year-oldTyler, suffered a concussionbut was expected to be re-leased from a children’s hospi-tal. His 8-year-old brother,Sam, had a broken leg andnose.Luke was the middle child

of the five. The father, RyanBresette, and another son anddaughter, were at the airportbut not injured.During their vacation, the

family swam in the Gulf ofMexico and Luke went para-sailing for the first time.“His dad said he was

thrilled. He was an adventur-ous kid. He loved sports,” saidFarnan, a priest at St.ThomasMore in Kansas City, Mo.After the sign fell, it took six

people to lift the large board

and a dozen people to hold itup while first responders ad-ministered aid. Officials wereinvestigating how the sign fellat the newly renovated airportand took down an identicalbillboard on Saturday.The renovated concourse

opened March 13. It was partof an ongoing $200 million up-grade of Birmingham’s airport.The construction began inJune 2011 and is being over-seen by Brasfield & GorrieGlobal Services Group.The Birmingham-based

company said in a statement itwas working with airport au-thorities to determine why thesign fell.“This is a terrible tragedy

that none of us fully under-stand, and we hope that thefamily who lost their loved onewill find strength throughprayer and the support of all ofus,” the statement said.

Syrian oppositionplunges into disarrayBEIRUT (AP) — Syria’s op-

position plunged into disarraySunday as its president quitand its military chief refusedto recognize the newly electedprime minister of an interimgovernment for rebel-heldareas.The moves reflected deep

splits in the body the U.S. andits allies hope will emerge asthe united face of the opposi-tion and advance the fight totopple President BasharAssad’s regime.The missteps of the opposi-

tion’s mostly exile politicalleadership drew little noticeinside Syria, where rebelfighters dismissed it as inef-fective and pushed aheadwith their offensive to gainground near the country’ssouthern border with Jordan.Nearby, the Israeli military inthe Golan Heights respondedto fire by shooting back at tar-gets inside Syria.The first blow to the oppo-

sition Syrian National Coali-tion was the surprise

resignation of its president,who said he was quitting infrustration over what hecalled lack of internationalsupport and constraints im-posed by the body itself.Mouaz al-Khatib, who rose

to prominence as a preacherin Damascus’ most famousmosque, said in a statementposted on his Facebook pagethat he was making good onan earlier vow to quit if unde-fined “red lines” were crossed.“I am keeping my promise

today and announcing my res-ignation from the NationalCoalition so that I can workwith freedom that is not avail-able inside the official institu-tions,” he said.He also blamed world pow-

ers for not offering Syria’srebels the support they de-mand and complained that“international and regionalparties” tried to push theCoalition toward negotiationswith the Assad regime —something most members re-fuse.

“All that has happened tothe Syrian people — from de-struction of infrastructure, tothe arrest of tens of thou-sands, to the displacement ofhundreds of thousands, toother tragedies — is notenough for an internationaldecision to allow the Syrianpeople to defend themselves,”the statement said.Despite electing a new,

U.S.-educated prime ministerlast week to head a plannedinterim government, theCoalition has failed to makemuch of a mark inside Syria,where hundreds of independ-ent rebel brigades are fightinga civil war against Assad’sforces.Reflecting the growing dis-

sension over that move, thehead of the Coalition’s mili-tary branch, Gen. Salim Idris,said his group refused to rec-ognize the new prime minis-ter, a little-known ITprofessional from Texas, be-cause he lacked broad supportamong the opposition.

She still waspretty happy with hershowing and said shefelt comfortable, despitethe larger field of com-petitors than in thepast.“I have done it before

and have been in pianorecitals, so I felt pre-pared,” she said. “I was-n’t all that nervous.”In the next round,

Wapakoneta eighth-grader LeeAnn Josemisspelled “acquittal.”LeeAnn was the two-time reigning regionalchampion, having rep-resented the region inWashington the pasttwo years. Alotus stillneeded to spell “pecu-late” and “bandicoot” towin. She remainedcalm, took her time andwent home the champ.“I was actually more

nervous at the begin-ning because I did notwant to be one of thefirst people out,” shesaid.Alotus said she

barely won her class-room spelling bee to getinto her school bee,which also was a closeone. She spent about anhour and a half practic-ing Friday night and 10minutes Saturdaymorning. She’ll use acomputer program toget ready for the na-tional bee.“I like the harder

words,” she said. “Theeasy words I don’t reallypay attention to.”Shelby County and

The crocodile is esti-mated to be about 40 to50 years old.“He does not show

any signs of advancedage,” Sailer said. “Croco-diles can live well past80, sometimes past 100.”The Toledo Zoo’s new

Australian-themedWildWalkabout exhibit willhave wallabies, dingoesand deadly snakes. Butthe big crocodile will bethe star.Zoo officials spent

several months workingwith the U.S. and Aus-tralian governments toget the crocodile’s tripapproved.“This is a remarkable

opportunity,” said AndyOdum, the zoo’s assis-tant director of animalprograms. “He will be atremendous ambassa-dor for wildlife, not tomention a great educa-tional opportunity andsomething really spec-tacular for the public.”Travel plans call for

the crocodile to make a30-hour flight in a spe-cially made crate, whileheavily sedated, fromAustralia to Dallas inearly April. From there,he’ll be flown to Toledoafter clearing customs.The cost of bringing

the crocodile to Toledototals $90,000, with ren-

ovation of the 12,050-foot solarium that willhouse the reptile costing$900,000.Odum says there will

be a basking beach, witha supplemental heaterand underground heat-ing designed to keep thearea in the low 90s.Saltwater crocodiles

also are found through-out Southeast Asia tothe eastern coast ofIndia and ranging as farwest as the easterncoast of Africa.

National urban violencesummit set for Ohio

CLEVELAND (AP) —Community activistshoping to find solutionsto urban violence andpoverty around thecountry will hold a na-tional summit in Cleve-land to discuss those andother problems facingU.S. cities.Dozens of community

groups, faith-based lead-ers, activists and gang-prevention specialistsfrom cities including De-troit, Los Angeles, At-lanta, Kansas City,Pittsburgh and Chicagoare expected to attendthe event, The (Cleve-land) Plain Dealer(http://bit.ly/ZgVSec) re-ported.Religious leaders,

grassroots organizationsand anti-violence ex-perts who deal with gunviolence, gang activity,teenage pregnancy, eco-nomic development andother problems are or-

ganizing the four-day In-ternational UrbanPeace, Justice and Em-powerment Summit. Itwill begin May 30 atCleveland State Univer-sity.Organizers say Cleve-

land is the perfect meet-ing place partly becauseit has a history of pro-gressive political move-ments such as theelection of Carl Stokes,the first black mayor of amajor U.S. city.Current gang mem-

bers and former onesalso will attend the con-ference. The outreachgroups hope to developpolicy that can be imple-mented in cities acrossthe United States to es-pecially help minoritiesand those living in poorcommunities.The event also marks

the 20th anniversary ofa conference held inKansas City in 1993 that

organizers say was thefirst national gang sum-mit.Cleveland activist

Khalid Samad, whohelped organize the1993summit, said that whileCleveland is not affectedby crime to the degree ofsome other U.S. cities, ithas had to deal with theeffects of problems suchas drugs, broken homesand violence.He said Cleveland

gangs mostly are neigh-borhood groups, largelymade up of young peoplewho don’t have thestructure that gangs hadin the past but are morewilling to use guns to gettheir points across.One gang in Ohio that

was established in juve-nile detention facilitieshas now spread to pris-ons he said. Several localpolice departments mon-itor the group’s activityonline.

Sheriff talks then and nowBY PATRICIA ANN

SPEELMANpspeelman@

civitasmedia.com

Law enforcement isn’twhat it used to be.

So said ShelbyCounty John LenhartThursday when he pre-sented a talk, exhibitand PowerPoint slideshow at the Sidney Al-trusa Club’s lecture se-ries luncheon at St.Paul’s United Church ofChrist. He discussedhow law enforcementhas changed during hismore than 40-year ca-reer.

“There was no law en-forcement school in 1966when I was fresh out ofthe Army,” he said. “Theysaid, ‘Go out and enforcethe law.’”

He exhibited manyitems from his own col-lection of historical crim-inology, includingwanted posters, arrestrecord logs, badges, uni-forms, and fingerprintcards. One of the latterwas that of the notoriousbandit, John Dillinger.

“When you look atthese fingerprint cards,you see what was consid-ered a crime a hundredyears ago,” Lenhart said.“One guy was arrestedfor cohabitating. Youknow what that was?Staying overnight andnot being married.”

He read another cardof a man who had beenarrested for possessionof marijuana in the early1900s. His sentence was20-30 years in prison.Now, such possession is amisdemeanor.

Lenhart then dis-cussed progress in thesheriff ’s office, where thebudget is $1 million lessand the staff 12 peoplefewer than when he wassheriff four years ago. Hesaid he now runs the of-fice like a business andhas instituted practicesto generate funds: TheShelby County jailhouses federal prisonersand the office transportsfederal prisoners, all fora fee. There are alsowork program contractsin place with the city ofSidney.

He has also looked forways to increase law en-forcement impact with-

out cost, including theestablishment of aneighborhood watch pro-gram.

“It helps if you don’thave any money,” hereminisced about hisearly years. “You can becreative. We had nomoney to go after drugs,so we decided to go afterit another way and havethem come to us. Some-one said, ‘Let’s say wehave it for sale,’” he re-counted. “We floated a(verbal) flier that we hada lot of marijuana forsale. A guy from Mis-souri came up and wesold him the nicest baleof alfalfa for $50,000.Then we arrested him.”

Lenhart comparedmethods used in thesheriff ’s office in the1960s with those oftoday, noting differencesin administration tech-niques, communication,and jail operations. Heused photographs andgraphics in a PowerPointshow that was createdand run by Pat Gold-smith, an administrativeassistant in the sheriff ’soffice.

In those earlier days,there were no tactical re-sponse teams, Lenhartsaid. There was no radioto call for back-up. Offi-cers on the scene didwhatever they had to do.Through the years, re-sponse teams developed.

But now, at incidentslike school shootings, thefirst responders are theones who handle thematter.

“Sometimes, the morethings change, the morethey stay the same,” hesaid. “I was 25. I couldn’tspell ‘sheriff ’ until I was26. The people you putaround you are impor-tant.”

Five people worked inthe sheriff ’s office thenand the budget was$47,000. One of them,Betty Carity, served assecretary, records clerkand jail matron. Beforethe age of computers, allinformation was savedon 3-inch by 5-inch filecards. Officers on theroad called in. Now, the60 full-time and 20 part-time employees whoneed it use computer-aided dispatch.The com-puter also tracksbookings and releasesfrom the jail and whocomes to visit. The 130currently listed sexualpredators who live inShelby County are filedon the computer andlisted online.

“Convicted arsonistswill soon be online,”Lenhart said. He dis-cussed the explosion ofsale of concealed carrypermits, which is amoney-maker for the de-partment. He also notedthat because of the num-

ber of property reposses-sions resulting in sher-iff ’s sales, “I’m thebiggest real estate sales-man in the county.”

A hundred years ago,law enforcement person-nel measured the nosesand foreheads of ar-restees to determinecriminal intent. Sixtyyears later, fingerprintswere taken manuallyand sent to the Bureauof Criminal Investiga-tion (BCI) to be checkedagainst the 6 million inthe its files. Now, a com-puter takes finger andpalm prints and theidentification is com-plete within two min-utes.

From a 38-bed jail ona downtown corner,where the sheriff livedupstairs, to the modern184-bed facility of today,from billy clubs to tazers,from heavy cell doorkeys to touch screen cen-tral control and from mo-bile radios in patrol carsto data terminals andautomatic license platereaders, how criminalsare caught and managedhas progressed in almostevery area of endeavor.

About 40 people en-joyed the presentationand the lunch, whichwas catered by the Spot.Altrusa President-electDiAnne Karas welcomedguests and introducedthe speaker.

Bathroom door:In or out?

Dear Read-ers: Here is thisweek’s SoundOff, abouthand i c appedbathroom stalldoors:“The handi-

cap stalls inpublic rest-rooms have thedoor openingoutward. Whydon’t all thestalls open thatdirection? It would beeasier if they didn’topen inward, especiallywhen you have a purseand maybe a bag toswing around the door.It seems strange to methat they can’t all openoutward. — E.T., viaemail”Been there too many

times, especially whentraveling for a speech orpersonal appearanceand using an airportrestroom! I have almostbeen “trapped” a fewtimes with luggage,purse and tote bag! Ac-cording to the Ameri-cans With DisabilitiesAct Accessibility Guide-lines, the doors on hand-icapped stalls need toswing outward for easeof entering and exiting.The other stall doorsprobably swing inwardso the flow of “traffic”doesn’t get slowed downand so someone walkingby doesn’t accidentallyget hit! — Heloise

FAST FACTSDear Readers: Other

uses for an ironingboard:• Extra counter

space in kitchen.

• As a bed-side table forsomeone who’ssick.• Use out-

side for a pot-ting stand.• As an extra

buffet table.Readers, do youhave hintsabout using anironing boardfor somethingelse? Write and

let me know! — HeloiseHEAT MARK

Dear Heloise: Wehave a solid-wooddresser that we use as asideboard for a buffet. Icovered it with severallayers of fabric and putthe dishes on hot padsto protect the surface.Unfortunately, it ap-pears a pad slipped, andwe now have a whitehalf-moon mark. I’vetried scrubbing it andcleaning it, but short ofsanding the wholedresser and refinishingit, is there anything Ican do to get rid of themark? — Kira B.,Springfield, Va.Well, what you tried

should have worked,and I’m concerned whenyou say “scrubbed” it, asI don’t know what youused.Try this: Mix baking

soda and white tooth-paste (the nongel kind).Rub it on the whitemark in the direction ofthe grain.It may take work, but

it might help. When themark is gone, polish orwax the wood surface.— Heloise

Your friend made aserious mistake

DR. WAL-LACE: I’llmake this shortand simple.Carrie is (was)my best friend.We even shareda locker atschool. Lastweek she askedme if I had seenher class ring,which, she said,was left in ourlocker. I told herI hadn’t seen it. The nextday, she took all of herthings out of the lockerand left a note that saidonly one word: “Thief.” Iwas totally shocked. Icouldn’t believe whatshe had done. I tried totalk to her at school andwent by her house tofind out what had hap-pened, but she wouldn’ttalk with me.

Yesterday at school,she came running up tome all bubbly and saidthat she found her classring in a side pocket ofher backpack. She neverused that pocket before,so she hadn’t botheredto check in it. She saidshe was wrong for accus-ing me of taking the ringand for writing the one-word note. She also saidthat she would like tobecome my locker part-ner again.

I told her I needed alittle time to think aboutit. I have made up my

mind, but still, Iam wonderingwhat you wouldadvise me to do.—Pat, Tampa,Fla.

PAT: Carriemade a seriousmistake — onethat cannot beeasily undone.Sometimes anaction changesthings forever,and her vicious

unwarranted accusationof you falls into that cat-egory. I don’t see howthings can ever be thesame between you. Sheneeds to demonstrateher remorse for whatshe did and ask your for-giveness. A superficialapology just won’t cut it.My advice to you wouldbe not to continue on aslocker partner withsomeone so untrustwor-thy. If she wants yourfriendship back, shemust work hard to earnit.

DR. WALLACE: I’m16, and my brother is 15,and we are good friends.My mom is nice to me,but she spends moretime pleasing her son.My dad is nice to mybrother, but he is stricterwith my brother than heis with me.

My brother and Iagree that favoritismtakes place, and we bothtake advantage of it.

Would you say themother-son and father-daughter thing happensin most families? —Nameless, Atlanta, Ga.

NAMELESS: Goodquestion. There areprobably fault lines inevery family to some ex-tent — with a parent’saffection seeming to floweasier to one child thananother, and ditto thediscipline. And it justmay be, if one were tolook for a pattern, thatdads are generallytougher on their sons,and moms are tougheron their daughters.

It is my experience,however, that in mostfamilies this doesn’t de-velop into outright fa-voritism. Most parentslove all of their childrenequally, even if theysometimes show it totheir children in differ-ent ways.Dr. Robert Wallace

dent-prone day for youbecause of the Full Moonenergy. Be careful of dis-tractions and heightenedemotional reactions toothers. Keep your headdown and your powderdry.

VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)Avoid arguments

SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)Something behind the

“Big Flood!” Those twowords tell the story oftoday’s news. The follow-ing are brief excerptstaken from the files of thisdate.

The Miami River isway out of its banks. It isthe highest it was everknown in its history inSidney and the waterscame up the quickest itwas ever known.The peo-ple were driven from theirhomes during the night.

The water came up soquickly that by 3 o’clockthis morning it hadreached to MiamiAvenueon Court Street, had sur-rounded the armory (thenon East Poplar Street)and reached the WagnerBrewery on Poplar Streetand to the Catholicchurch on SouthMainAv-enue and homes east andsouth are surrounded.

The river has been con-tinuously rising and latethis morning was comingup at the rate of 10 inchesan hour. The residents ofEast Avenue near theSlusser & McLeanScraper factory, weredriven out early thismorning by water back-ing up inTillbury run, thewater being up almost toMiami Avenue near theSidney Elevator Manu-facturing Co.

At the North streetbridge the water waswithin a few inches of thebridge floor. Some peoplesucceeded in crossingfrom East Sidney earlythis morning over thisbridge and wadingthrough the water on thestreet. North of the streeta great deal of debris hasaccumulated over the pro-posed playground site. Tothe south can be seenoverturned buildings.

Port Jefferson isflooded from one end tothe other. Joe Count’sLast Chance was washedaway about 9 o’clock thismorning.

Statins best to reduce heart risk

Critical husband creates friction in friends

DEAR DR.ROACH: Myhusband is 68,and about sevenyears ago, dur-ing a cardiaccatheter, doctorsfound a verysmall vesselmore than halfblocked, but itwas too smalleven for a stent.The rest of hisvessels lookedpretty good. Thedoctor put him on Zocorand Toprol. His total cho-lesterol is only about160, and his LDL andHDL are normal. He isstarting to have someslight short-term mem-ory loss, and I have readthat statins are noted forthis. I would like him toget off that and try morenatural things, but hisdoctor is ADAMANTthat he not quit.

Most of the studiesthat I have read recentlyare saying that choles-terol is not the cause of

heart disease, andthat if it is too low,it does cause cog-nitive problems.What can we do,short of findinganother doctorwho is more rea-sonable to listento our concerns?My physicianseems to be of thesame thought thatI am, but I don’twant to causeproblems with my

husband’s doctor. He hasgone to him for morethan 15 years and thedoctor’s father beforehim. What would yourecommend? — L.S.

ANSWER: You raisethree very importantpoints. First, does some-one with fairly minimalblockages in the heartand not very elevated cho-lesterol benefit fromZocoror other statins? That an-swer is, clearly, yes. Nomatter what the choles-terol, if it’s high enough tocause blockages in arter-

ies, it’s too high.Second, can statins

cause memory prob-lems? Also, the answer isabsolutely yes, if youlook at what people whoare taking the medicinessay. However, a largestudy showed no signifi-cant memory loss, butsubtle loss may not haveshown up in that study.Also, different statinsmay have different ef-fects, and pravastatin,the one in the study,maybe least likely to causememory problems.

Third, is cholesterolthe cause of coronarydisease? It’s probablyonly one cause amongmany, but then, statinshave multiple effects,and not just on choles-terol. The take-homepoint is that statins savelives in people withblockages in their arter-ies. You should have avery good reason to stoptaking them.

I believe strongly thatpatients (and families)

should be able to maketheir own decisions, evenif the doctor thinks it’snot the best choice.There certainly are morenatural options, some ofwhich may work, such asred yeast rice and fishoil. However, the best ev-idence we have is thatstatins, along withproper diet and exercise,are the best treatmentwe have to reduce therisk of heart attack anddeath from heart dis-ease.

DEAR ABBY:My friend “Eden”recently told meher husband con-stantly comparesher tome. It cameup because sheasked how I wasfeeling in my firsttrimester of preg-nancy, and I con-fided that I havebeen having atough time keep-ing up with myhousehold duties.

Instead of sympathiz-ing, she said, “Wow! I’llhave to tell my husbandthat, because he’s alwaystalking about how cleanyour house is and howyou cook dinner for yourfamily every night.”

I was really hurt thatshe was taking pleasurein my failures. I also feltuncomfortable that her

husband com-pares her unfa-vorably to me. Itisn’t the first timeshe has men-tioned how hetalks about me.

I have dis-tanced myself,hoping thingswould get better,but when I seeher, she invari-ably manages toget in a little

“dig.” I’m unsure how tohandle this. We’re neigh-bors and have mutualfriends.

I thought we werefriends, but now I realizeshe harbors some resent-ment toward me forsomething I didn’t cause.Help! — NO CONTESTINMARYLAND

DEAR NO CON-TEST: Unless Eden’s

husband stops using youas the cudgel to beat herdownwith, you can forgetbeing friends. A way tohandle it would be to talkto her husband and say,“Please stop comparingme to your wife because itis affecting our friend-ship!”

DEAR ABBY: When-ever my best friendsmells a cough drop, shecomments that it’s “rude”to eat one in public andthat if someone is sick,the person should stayhome.

I would much rathersmell someone’s coughdrop than listen to cough-ing during an entiremovie or opera.Some peo-ple may have bought ex-pensive tickets to a showonly to get sick the daybefore or have allergiesthat cause them to cough.

So is it rude to eat acough drop in public ornot? — UNBOTHEREDINTEXAS

DEAR UNBOTH-ERED: If it was badmanners to pop a coughdrop into one’s mouth inpublic, more than a fewlarge brandswould be outof business.While I agreewith your friend that ifpeople are sick theyshould stay home, somecoughs linger beyond thestage when they are con-tagious.

I do NOT think thatbecause someone boughtexpensive tickets to anevent and gets sick theday before that it’s allright to attend anywayand risk infecting every-one within “cough-shot.”The considerate thing todo is to cancel and ask fora refund.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) —Aaron Craft dribbled in placeat the top of the arc, watchingto see if any of his Ohio Stateteammates were getting opennear the basket for a game-winning shot.Nothing there.The point guard had a clear

look at the clock as it raced to-ward zero atop the backboard.He realized what he had to do— take a little Ohio Statetournament history into hishands.Craft held the ball until he

had no other choice, thenswished a 3-pointer with ahalf-second left Sunday for a78-75 victory over IowaState, sending the Buckeyesto a school-record fourthstraight trip to the round of16.No. 2 Ohio State had man-

aged to escape as the lonehigh seed left in the NCAAtournament’s most-bustedbracket.“The moment’s a lot bigger

than me,” said Craft, who hadallowed Iowa State to catchup with missed free throwsand an errant jumper. “It justhappened to be in my handsat the end.”Ohio State (28-7) needed

Craft’s fearless shot — over 6-foot-7 defender Georges Niang— to avoid yet another upsetin the oh-so-wild West Re-gional. Four of the top fiveseeds fell fast and hard in thefirst weekend.The Buckeyes’ 10th

straight win sends them toLos Angeles for a game onThursday against sixth-seeded Arizona.“With all that’s gone on in

college basketball, anything’spossible,” Craft said. “You cansee it with what’s gone on inour bracket right now.”Tenth-seeded Iowa State

(23-12) overcame a late 13-point deficit by hitting 3s —the Cyclones’ specialty — butwound up beaten by one, atough way to have their upsetbid end.“We played our hearts out,”

said Will Clyburn, who scored17 points. “It was a toughgame and he made a toughshot. He made a great play.”Craft’s missed free throws

helped Iowa State catch up.He missed the front end of a

pair of one-and-one chancesand was off on a jumper fromjust inside the arc with 29.2seconds left and the score tied.The Cyclones knocked the

ball out of bounds while tryingfor the rebound, setting up thefinal chance. Coach ThadMatta called a timeout andwent over the options.“I told ‘em, ‘Hey, let’s get the

last shot; let’s play for the winhere,’” Matta said.When the Cyclones

switched coverages to takeaway leading scorer Deshaun

Thomas and put their tallfreshman on Craft, the pointguard decided to take it him-self.Not a bad outcome, Iowa

State thought.“He had a tough shot,” said

Korie Lucious, who led IowaState with 19 points. “He had-n’t hit a 3 all game.”The officials reviewed the

play to confirm that Craft’sfoot was behind the arc whenhe shot. Lucious didn’t comeclose on a long heave as thefinal half-second ran off.

Lucious stood on the courtafter the buzzer sounded,stung by the final half-second.Coach Fred Hoiberg was un-able to make an opening com-ment during the postgamenews conference, the painetched all over his face.Thomas led Ohio State

with 22 points, and Craft had18. LaQuinton Ross scored 10straight for the Buckeyes asthey built that second-halflead.

INDIANA GUARD Victor Oladipo (4) and forward Cody Zellercelebrate after they defeated Temple 58-52 in a third-roundgame of the NCAA college basketball tournament Sunday inDayton.

Hoosiers surviveDAYTON, Ohio (AP)— In-

diana’s season, the one that’ssupposed to finish with con-fetti falling and nets comingdown, was minutes from end-ing in shock and disappoint-ment.The Hoosiers were on the

brink.As the clock ticked down,

coach Tom Crean wouldn’tallow himself to think aboutdefeat, so his mind wanderedelsewhere.“That’s when you just pray,”

he said.Request answered.Victor Oladipo hit a 3-

pointer with 14 seconds re-maining and the top-seededHoosiers, unable to stop Tem-ple star Khalif Wyatt for mostof the game, shut him down inthe final three minutes for a58-52 win on Sunday in theEast Regional.Trailing by four with 2:56

left, the Hoosiers (29-6)closed with a 10-0 run andadvanced to the round of 16for the second straight year.After stopping to tell Tem-ple’s players they’re as good

as any Big Ten team, Crean,his red tie askew and his hairmessed, was overcome byemotion.“That,” he said, “was relief.”Indiana, with its sights set

on a sixth national champi-onship, will play No. 4 seedSyracuse in the regional semi-finals on Thursday in Wash-ington, a rematch of theclassic 1987 title game won bythe Hoosiers.Wyatt scored 31 points to

lead the Owls (24-10), who for37 minutes gave top-seededIndiana all it could handle be-fore collapsing when it mat-tered most.“We competed really hard,”

Wyatt said. “We battled. Acouple plays here and there,we win. It was just a toughbattled game, and they cameout on top.”Oladipo, who drew the as-

signment of chasing Wyattaround the floor and neededplenty of help from his team-mates, scored 16 and CodyZeller added 15 for theHoosiers, the regular-seasonBig Ten champs.

COLUMBUS — Itwasn’t the ending ScottMcEldowney and theVersailles boys basket-ball team had hoped for.But, the Tigers coach

wouldn’t trade the ridefor anything — Satur-day’s 67-46 loss to Ot-tawa-Glandorf in theDivision III state cham-pionship game didn’t doanything to change that.“I have never been so

proud of a group ofguys,” McEldowney saidafter Versailles’ magicalseason finished with a23-6 record. “All the theups and downs of theseason. It is has been aroller-coaster ride. Justall the things they haveexperienced and the waythey grew. I am reallyproud of these guys.”As for the game itself,

the Tigers couldn’t over-come a record-setting 3-point shootingperformance by Titansguard TJMetzger — andthere was no denying aknee injury suffered inThursday’s semifinalsslowed the normallyhigh-flying DamienRichard.“I would say Damien

was at about 65 percent,”McEldowney said. “Wedid everything we could.We treated it over hereand he was wearing abrace. But, this is a kidthat normally throws itdown pretty easy. Weflip-flopped Damien andNick (Campbell) on of-fense, so Damien would-n’t have to cut so much.”

Metzger’s dayBut, this day was

Metzger’s from the verystart.His 36-point perform-

ance, including 11 of 17shooting from the floor— nine of 14 from 3-point range — and per-fect 5-for-5 from the freethrow line.The nine 3-point field

goals broke the D-IIIrecord of eight set by J.T.Hoyng and tied the over-all record of nine set byDemond Lyles of LimaSenior in 1992.His 13 3-point field

goals for the tournamentbroke Hoyng and Lylses’record of 12.“He’s a good shooter,”

McEldowney said ofMetzger. “We knew hehad the ability to go off.But, you don’t see gameslike that very often.”Metzger did most his

damage in the first halfto keep Versailles fromgaining any momentum.Senior Chad Winner

hit his first two shotsfrom the floor — both 3-point field goals — andRichard added a three totie the game at nine.“Damien (Richard)

was still able to makesome big plays for us,”McEldowney said. “Wegot off to a good start —I thought we were goingto have a nice little run.But, they (Ottawa-Glan-dorf) answered every-thing we did.”Especially, Metzger.He scored 11 points in

a 15-2 run to close thequarter, finishing with astep-back three at thebuzzer. That made it 24-11, with Metzger scoring18 points in the openingquarter on five of sixshooting from behind thearc.“He was in a rhythm,”

Ottawa-Glandorf coachTysonMcGlaughlin said.“Feed the hot hand.There’s no need to rein-vent the wheel.”

20-2 runThe run reached 20-2

early in the second quar-ter, with two free throwsand a three by Metzger,making it 29-11.“We wanted to give

help on Metzger,” McEl-downey said. “But withsuch little time to pre-pare, it’s hard to get a lotof repetitions on who issupposed to help in dif-ferent situations whenwe can’t get through thescreen. We just triedmove him and make himhit from different spotson the floor.”Metzer finished the

first half with 26 points,making seven of nineshots from 3-point rangeand perfect from insidethat, with a layup andthree free throws as theTitans led 35-20 at thebreak.“He’s a great player,”

Versailles sophomoreKyle Ahrens, who hadsome success slowinghim down in the secondhalf,” said. “You just haveto try to keep a hand inhis face at all times.”Versailles didn’t go

down without a fight.The Tigers got within

nine twice in the thirdquarter, the second timeat 43-34 with 2:40 left inthe period on anotherRichard three.Versailles missed an-

other three that wouldhave made it a six-point

game and OG closed thequarter with an 8-2 runcapped by an off-balancethree by Metzger tomake it 51-36 going tothe final eight minutes.“I have a basketball

rim in my backyard,”Metzger said. “When Iwas seven I’d go to mybrother, ‘This is for thestate championshipright here.’ Then I’d missit. It was a differentstory today.”The Titans the lead to

19 early in the fourthquarter and coastedfrom there.“We made a couple

runs in the third quarter,but we used up a lot ofenergy doing that,”McEldowney said. “Afteryou get knocked down somany times, it does(wear you down).”

ESPN playAhrens finished an

amazing weekend forthe Tigers with 12points. He was named tothe all-tournament teamafter making ESPN’sTop 10 plays with a dunkin the semifinal Thurs-day, coming in at No. 2.Winner added 10

points and five re-bounds.Metzger was the lone

Titan in double figures,with Michael Rosebrockpulling down eight re-bounds and Noah Bram-lage grabbing seven.Versailles was just 17

of 47 from the floor for36 percent, includingfive of 18 from behindthe arc for 39 percent.The Tigers convertedseven of 11 from the linefor 64 percent.OG was 22 of 43 from

the floor for 51 percent,including nine of 16 from3-point range fro 56 per-cent. The Titans con-verted 14 of 22 freethrows for 64 percent.

ReboundsThe Titans won the

battle of the boards 34-24 and both teams had12 turnoversThe Tigers have the

potential for anothertournament run nextseason, with just ChadWinner and JacobHeitkamp playing theirfinal games.But, it would be hard

to top this one.“We set a goal at the

beginning of the year towin a state champi-onship,” Winner said.“Even though we didn’tdo that, this season issomething I will always

remember.”Just like his coach.

Lady Flyers win in 2 OTsNEW YORK (AP) —

Jim Jabir took a deepbreath as he sat in thenews conference. Hisyoung Dayton Flyershad just pulled off one ofthe biggest wins inschool history.It’s been a season of

thrills for the veterancoach.“I’m going to enjoy

this win,” Jabir said. “I’llbe savoring this for along time. It’s one of themost complete gamesI’ve been a part of. It wasa complete game, totalteam effort.”Andrea Hoover scored

a career-high 24 pointsand seventh-seeded Day-ton outlasted No. 10 St.John’s 96-90 in a doubleovertime thriller Sundayin the opening round ofthe NCAA women’s tour-nament.It was the first double

overtime game in theNCAA tournament since2000 when Vanderbiltoutlasted Kansas in theopening round.“This whole season

has been improbable,”Jabir said. “A bunch offreshmen runningaround out there against

St. John’s on their homecourt. We’ve done it allyear. I’m proud of theway they handled thewhole season.”

The win was the sec-ond for the Flyers intheir brief NCAA tour-nament history. Theteam first made the

NCAAs in 2010 andpulled off a win overTCU. They had lost thepast two years in theiropening games.“This means a lot for

our program,” said sen-ior Olivia Applewhite,who had 13 points and16 rebounds for Dayton.“Our freshman year

we were happy to behere. We won the first-round game on a game-winner. Now we’re nolonger that type of team.We expect to get here.We’re not happy to behere and lose the firstgame like we did the lasttwo seasons.”It has been an excep-

tional season for Dayton.The Flyers won theirfirst Atlantic 10 regular-season title beforefalling to Saint Joseph’sin the conference tourna-ment semifinals. Theteam has already sur-passed the school recordfor wins and is in itsfourth straight NCAAtournament.Not bad for a squad

that lost a lot to gradua-tion last year and hasthe sixth youngest rosterin the country.

The Buckeyes escapedDayton — the scene of acouple of recent NCAAtournament disappoint-ments — as the lonehigh seed left in theWest.No. 3 NewMexico, No.

4 Kansas State and No.5 Wisconsin wereknocked out right away,losing their openers. No.1 Gonzaga joined themSaturday night, shockedby ninth-seeded WichitaState 76-70.The Buckeyes had

opened the tournamentin Dayton twice previ-ously under Matta andlost despite thousands offans providing a home-court feeling.Perhaps it was fitting

that this one was de-cided by a 3.The Cyclones lead the

nation in 3-pointers,with nearly 44 percent oftheir attempts comingfrom behind the arc. De-fense has been OhioState’s foundation dur-ing its late winningstreak, which includedthe Big Ten tournamenttitle.With Craft anchoring

Ohio State’s perimeterdefense, the Cycloneshad trouble getting openshots and missed eightof their first 12 from be-hind the arc. They fin-ished 12 of 25 on3-pointers.The Cyclones also lost

one of their best perime-ter defenders and their

second-best 3-pointshooter late in the firsthalf. Guard Chris Babbgot treatment on his leftleg in the final minute ofthe half and went to thelocker room early. Babbsat on the bench for therest of the game.The Buckeyes pushed

the lead to six points atthe start of the secondhalf, but Melvin Ejim’sputback cut it to 52-51.Heand Craft bumped intoeach other and tradedwords heading into atimeout with 11:43 left.Neither side was

budging.Coming out of the

timeout, the Buckeyesput together their bestrun of the game. Ross hita pair of 3s, a layup off asteal and two freethrows for a 65-53 leadwith 8:18 to go.The Cyclones turned

to the 3 — both versions— to pull even. Lucious’three-point play tied it69-all with 3:53 left,completing a 13-0 run.Craft missed the frontend of a pair of one-and-one chances during thatspurt.Craft tried not to

think about his previousmisses as he watchedthe white numbers onthe clock tick down andsquared up to decide thegame.“If I miss, we still

have overtime,” he said.“So it’s not as big of apressure situation.”

FONTANA, Calif.(AP) — Kyle Buschearned his first victory ofthe season at Fontana onSunday after rivalsDenny Hamlin and JoeyLogano wrecked on thefinal lap in a thrillingNASCAR finish.Hamlin and Logano

made contact while theyraced side-by-side in thefinal lap of their firstrace since the driversconfronted each otherlast week at Bristol.Logano hit the outsidewall and Hamlin hit theinside wall, with Hamlingetting attention in anambulance and eventu-ally getting aiflifted to ahospital due to trafficaround the track.Defending Fontana

champion Tony Stewartthen confronted Loganoafter the race and shovedthe younger driver beforeteammates pulled themapart. Logano blockedStewart out of a laterestart, infuriating theveteran three-timeSprint Cup series cham-pion, who finished 22nd.Busch led the most

laps in his Toyota andtook advantage of his re-markable stroke of luckto pick up Joe Gibbs Rac-ing’s first victory atFontana, the only trackwhere the team hadnever won. Toyota alsogot its first Fontana win.“They forgot about

me. I knew they weregoing to,” Busch said.“We had a good run onthe top side, and theywere messing with eachother so bad that theytook each other down. Iwas just hoping I couldget by before they tookme with him.”Dale Earnhardt Jr.

finished second and tookover the lead in thepoints standings despitefalling from third to22nd late in the racewith a dismal pit stop.Kurt Busch came inthird, with Carl Ed-wards fourth and GregBiffle fifth in front ofLogano. Defending se-ries champion Brad Ke-selowski finished 23rd,missing the top five forthe first time all season.Kyle Busch’s victory

was his 25th inNASCAR, completinghis ninth career week-end sweep after his Na-tionwide Series victorySaturday. He ended a 31-race Cup winless streaksince last April at Rich-mond.Last week at Bristol,

Hamlin spun Logano

while Logano was racingJeff Gordon for the latelead. Hamlin claimedLogano had cut him offthree times earlier in therace, but Logano ranover to Hamlin’s car af-terward and leaned inhis window for an angryexchange before theteams pulled them apart.Their final-lap the-

atrics at Fontana mostlyappeared to be moti-vated by fierce racing fora win in a back-and-forth race on a wide two-mile track. Hamlin’scrash was more dra-matic than Logano’s con-tact with the wall, withHamlin’s car going head-on into the inside wall.“He probably

shouldn’t have done whathe did last week, so that’swhat he gets,” Loganosaid. “We were super fast,led a lot of laps. Nothing

to hang our head downabout, that’s for sure.”Hamlin got himself

out of the car, but thenslumped to the groundbeside it before medicalhelp arrived. NASCARdidn’t immediately havean update on his condi-tion, although JGR Pres-ident J.D. Gibbs washopeful Hamlin was fine.Logano then got into a

shoving match withStewart, who also had alate lead. Logano wentextremely low to blockStewart out of a laterestart. Stewart was fu-rious, responding to in-terview questions with along series of expletives.Hamlin and Logano

were near each otherfrom the opening laps,with Logano practicallygrazing Hamlin’sbumper early on. On Fri-day, Hamlin said he

hoped the beef withLogano was finished, butLogano said he hadn’treceived any apologyand wasn’t feeling par-ticularly forgiving.Hamlin and Logano

ended up together in thefinal laps after Loganoprevented Stewart fromgetting back in the hunt.“I had to throw the

block there,” Logano said.“That was a race for thelead. I felt if the 14 gotunderneath me, that wasgoing to be the end of myopportunity to win therace, so I was just tryingto protect the spot I had.”They were side-by-

side heading into thefinal lap and largelystayed that way untilTurn 3, where Loganobegan to work up thetrack. The cars madecontact and eventuallylost control.
