details of the investigation.… During the course ofthis investigation we diddevelop probable cause toarrest a subject for a dif-

ferent domestic violenceoffense that is unrelated tothe victim.”The mother of the child

was at work at the timeand Jamison declined tolist the number of peoplewho were inside the homeat the time of the crime.Paramedics and police

rushed to the scene at10:56 p.m. following a 9-1-1 call placed by Gauldin,who claimed he was baby-sitting the victim and atleast one other child,according to that emer-gency call, which wasobtained by OhioCommunity Media.In an audio file of that

9-1-1 call, an emergencydispatcher walks the sus-pect through the process of

performing CPR severaltimes before medics andauthorities arrived at thehome.“She fell down the

stairs and I need help,”said the man police tookinto custody. “Her heart isnot beating … She is notbreathing.”While performing CPR,

the suspect can be heardbecoming physically illseveral times as anunidentified child in thebackground can be heardcrying, “I’m scared!”The child was taken to

Upper Valley MedicalCenter before being flownby CareFlight toChildren’s in Dayton,where she remainedFriday night.

60-seat restaurant thatwill open to the public Oct.1. Gibson also said that theearly childhood educationarea, medical technologylocation and all academicrooms have been renovatedas well and are all occu-pied.The career center peti-

tioned the OSFC to allowthe school to construct apermanent space to housestudents during the con-struction instead of usingmodular trailers. This“swing space” has 12 roomsthat are now being used,allowing an entire wing tobe vacated.“That’s been a real

advantage to have stu-dents in a more conducivelearning environment,”Gibson said.By vacating an entire

wing, construction crewshad flexibility when start-ing this area in December.According to Gibson, reno-vation in this wing isabout 90 percent com-plete.The school will get a

new heating, ventilation

and air conditioning unitduring the summer. Themain maintenance room,which includes chillers,recently was taken off line.Gibson said that coolingwill be provided by airhandlers and temporarycoolers and, if needed,money has been allocatedin the budget for a tempo-rary chiller.“We’re monitoring that

closely,” Gibson said.The need for cooling

played a major role indeciding the school calen-dar for this year and next.District leaders plan tomiss the extreme heat ofsummer by putting thelast day of school on May31. Students will returnSept. 4.The Willowbrook

Environmental EducationCenter has been renovatedas well. Work at theWillowbrook has beencompleted except forpaving and waterline workthat will be done this sum-mer. The center got newHVAC and electrical sys-tems as well as lightingand sprinklers with a fulltechnology upgrade. The

main campus will get thetechnology upgrade also.This upgrade includesmore fiber optics and a fullserver replacement. Thedistrict also will change toa voice-over IP phone sys-tem during the summer.Outside of the school

the grounds also hve beenrenovated, with upgradesto sidewalks, parking lotsand landscaping.The construction proj-

ect has brought real-lifesituations to the classroomfor many students. Toursof various sites have beengiven by programs. Also,Gibson said there are oneor two students who areserving as apprentices andmany former students arenow working on the proj-ect.“It makes it real world

for them,” Gibson said.The former teacher

shared that he came acrossa former student nowworking on the project inthe hall the other day.“It kind of makes it full

circle to come back andwork where he learned. It’sbeen neat to see,” Gibsonsaid.

“They were able to liftthe car up enough to takethe weight off of the suspen-sion in order for the child tobe pulled out,” Collins said.Collins said the mother

was busy with several otherchildren at the time and

said while the incidentremains under investiga-tion, it appears to havebeen caused accidentally.“It’s just one of those sit-

uations where parents arebusy with several children,”Collins said. “Sounds like itwas just totally an acci-dent.”

The Oregonian, Portland,on an online consumer

privacy bill of rights:As politicians hunker down

for a long, bipolar year produc-ing little, citizen-consumers getno vacation from the need toprotect their privacy online.Global Payments, which

processes transactions for Visa,MasterCard, Discover andAmerican Express, revealedthat hackers had stolen 1.5million credit card numbers.The company acknowledgedthe breach at least two weeksafter it happened.Across the pond, British citi-

zens find their calls, texts,

emails, web searches and otherpresumably private transac-tions in the sights of the gov-ernment headed by PrimeMinister David Cameron.Cameron has said it is “vital”for his government to be ableto monitor such behavior tostop serious crime and terror-ism.While many cases of the

sharing of individual dataoccur with the consent of peo-ple who “opt in,” others demon-strate the persistent erosion ofrights and privileges for indi-viduals who don’t control theirpersonal information.The U.S. Congress, not sur-

prisingly, is of two minds aboutall this. Elected officials onboth sides of the aisle supportlegislation addressing cyber-security and mandatingprompt notification of con-sumers involved in databreaches … there is much tolike about the idea of such abill, which would grant con-sumers the right to understandand control the use of theirpersonal information by com-panies with access to it. …In an election year, an

online consumer privacy billisn’t likely to gain traction. Butthe threats to individual priva-cy online are rising.

DOONESBURY

WASHINGTON (AP) — Reality smacked Mitt Romney in theface twice in a 24-hour span.President Barack Obama used the power of the presidency to

ring the general election’s opening bell, declaring this week in nouncertain terms that he and his mammoth organization areready to take on Romney whether the presumptive GOP nomineeis ready or not.And despite what he may say, Romney is not.The former Massachusetts governor, who won three more pri-

maries Tuesday and is on track to claim his party’s presidentialnomination in June if not before, is facing a challenge of historicproportions. Just one Republican Ronald Reagan has defeated aDemocratic incumbent president in the last century. And Romneyfaces an incumbent with five times more staff, 10 times moremoney, and the world’s greatest bully pulpit.Using that platform Tuesday, the president criticized Romney

by name, telling news executives at the annual meeting of TheAssociated Press that his likely general election opponent sup-ported a “radical” Republican budget plan he characterized as“thinly veiled social Darwinism.” He accused Republican leadersof becoming so extreme that even Reagan, one of the party’s mostcherished heroes, would not win a GOP primary today.The president’s critique came just one day after his campaign

launched a TV ad in six general election battleground states thatsuggested that Romney stood with “Big Oil.” And it all comesamid a Democratic effort to paint Romney as part of aRepublican Party that Obama’s party is casting as too conserva-tive for the country.Romney hit back after he won primaries in Wisconsin,

Washington, D.C., and Maryland, telling cheering supporters inMilwaukee that the president has become “a little out of touch”after “years of flying around on Air Force One, surrounded by anadoring staff of true believers telling you that you’re great andyou’re doing a great job.”Added Romney, “You know, out-of-touch liberals like Barack

Obama say they want a strong economy, but in everything theydo, they show they don’t like business very much.”With that, the contours of the general election were set and

the attack lines unveiled.Each candidate cast the other as too extreme for the center of

the country speaking directly to the independents who play acritical role in general elections because they determine who winsclose races. The number of independent voters in America hasswelled. That means they are a top target for both candidates inwhat Republican and Democratic operatives alike anticipate willbe a close election for reasons that include the country’s increas-ingly polarized nature.As the incumbent, Obama has a built-in advantage and a huge

head start.He has spent months wooing the center of the electorate even

as he worked to fire up his Democratic base.Romney has a ton of ground to make up. And, even though he’s

been eager to shift his campaign to focus on fundraising, buildingand advertising for the general election, he doesn’t have the luxu-ry of doing that in earnest just yet.His stubborn Republican opponents, inspired by anti-Romney

skepticism from the right flank of the party, aren’t letting him.And that means Romney will continue for a while at least to beat least marginally distracted by an intra-party contest whoseoutcome has never really been in question.

Well friends, today marks avery important event in all of ourlives. On April 14, 1985, at exact-ly 6:09 a.m. (or something likethat, it was early and probablythe last time I’d ever be thatalert that early in the morning) Iwas born.With 27 years under my belt, I

can’t help but look back over theyears and both laugh and scoff atsome of the things I’ve had tolearn, refused to learn and amstill trying to learn. So whilewe’re celebrating 27 years of mestill being alive, I’d like to offer27 things I wish I had learnedbefore turning 27.For starters, it’s OK to not

know what I want to be when Igrow up — yet. The key is tonever stop trying to figure it out.Find your passion and never,ever stop doing it. Make bigplans, even if you’re not going tofollow through with them and goto Canada with your best friendsat least once.Unfortunately, some girls will

never stop being girls. It doesn’tmatter if we’re 15 or 50; somewomen will forever live in highschool (complete with theirdrinking binges, scandalous

clothing and boyfriend-stealingways). Learn your lesson and bedone with them. People like thatwill only bring you down.Everyone will let you down.

People you love, will disappointyou and you will disappointthem.This is OK. Learn when to for-

give and when to forget. Learnwhen to stay and know when towalk away.Tequila will never, ever, ever,

ever, result in anything good.Never. Ever.If a guy likes you, he will call,

because he won’t be able to standnot calling you.Taking shots of 151 on your

birthday with your roommatemight make you feel cool whenyou’re doing it, but you will feel

anything but cool the morningafter.People will surprise you. Let

them, they could be the bestthing to happen to your life.No one will ever love me more

than my parents. I will never,ever love anyone more than mydaughter (and any subsequentchildren), except for maybe myparents.Some people aren’t meant to

be in your life forever. Love hard,enjoy every waking minute andwhen they leave, be thankful fortheir footprint.Always tell someone if you

love them. Even if it’s not recip-rocated, even if it’s just puppylove, even if it’s the completelywrong person, you tell them.Always.Throw life’s rules out the win-

dow. Marry your one-night stand,fall in love after three weeks andget hitched in Vegas. Or don’t.The point is to make your ownrules, not follow what you thinkyou’re supposed to do.Love your best friends, all of

them. It's OK to have differentones; you need them all for dif-ferent things. My best momfriends understand me in a way

my best college friends cannot;and my college friends remindme of the me I used to be andlove the me I am now. For this, Iam eternally grateful.Go to Oregon at least once in

your life. Believe me, it’s worththe cost of plane ticketsDefine your own standards of

beauty and quit feeling badabout size 12 jeans. You’re beau-tiful.Watch less television, cook

more and eat your veggies. Andice berg lettuce does not count asa salad. It’s water in leaf form.Write more letters and always

send thank you cards. Peopleappreciate the little things.And lastly, wear really tall

high heels if you want to (even ifyou’re already tall), get your sep-tum pierced (even if you’re 27and a mom), dye your hair green(even if you’re 29 and a mom)and go to punk rock concertswhen you’re 39. Or don’t. Just beyou and own every bit of it.

The 27 things I wish I’d learned before turning 27

Obama’s incumbencyvs. Romney’s hurdles

BY KATHY LEESEOhio Community Media

Suspended ShelbyCounty Sheriff Dean Kimpelentered a guilty plea to asingle felony charge inShelby County CommonPleas Court Friday andshortly thereafter a judge inAuglaize County denied amotion to dismiss a sexualbattery charge against himor suppress testimony inthat case.

Kimpel pleaded guilty toa single charge of unautho-rized use of a computer or atelecommunications device,amended from the previouscharge of unauthorized useof a government computer.Four other felony counts inthe Shelby County casewere dismissed.

Kimpel appeared beforeMiami County Judge RobertLindeman, appointed asjudge in the Shelby Countycase after Judge JamesStevenson recused himself.Kimpel was indicted by aShelby County grand jurySept. 29 on five counts ofunauthorized use of theOhio Law EnforcementGateway (OHLEG) lawenforcement computer sys-tem after he allegedlylooked up background onseveral individuals for per-sonal reasons not related tohis duties as sheriff.

OHLEG is a secure, web-based tool administered bythe Ohio Attorney General’sOffice and allows lawenforcement to obtain infor-mation regarding criminalsand crime related matters.

Kimpel was alleged tohave looked up informationon former Shelby CountySheriff’s Deputy Jodi VanFossen, who had allegedthat Kimpel sexuallyassaulted her in her home inAuglaize County; ShelbyCounty Sheriff ’s DeputyCami Frey; Dawn Robinsonof Fairborn, whom Kimpelallegedly looked up from hishome computer; and AngelaGordon, formerly of Sidneyand now reportedly living inPrestonsburg, Ky., whomKimpel looked up on twooccasions.

Other than Robinson,Kimpel looked up the otherwomen from his Sheriff ’sOffice computer. The chargeis a felony in the fifth degree.On Friday, Lindeman madesure Kimpel understood theagreement and the possible

sentence he faces by plead-ing guilty.

Among conditions of hisplea, Kimpel faces sixmonths to one year in jailand a $2,500 fine when sen-tenced June 8, and will offi-cially resign as sheriff thatday and never be able towork in law enforcementagain in his lifetime.

As a convicted felon, hewill not be allowed to pos-sess a weapon and has beenordered to have no contactwith Van Fossen. A presen-tence investigation will beconducted prior to sentenc-ing.

Following the hearing inShelby County early Fridayafternoon, another hearingwas held in Auglaize CountyCommon Pleas Court inWapakoneta regarding amotion to dismiss the caseagainst Kimpel in that coun-ty and suppress testimony.Although attorneys for bothsides thought they hadreached an agreement in thecase, Judge FrederickPepple had some things tosay and ultimately refusedto either dismiss the case orsuppress testimony.

Pepple met behind closeddoors for almost an hourwith attorneys for bothsides, discussing the impor-tance of rendering a decisionon the Garrity issue in thecase. (A so-called Garritywarning is given to lawenforcement officers andpublic officials during thecourse of an investigation.)

After moving to opencourt, Pepple sternly toldthose present that the inter-nal affairs investigationinvolving Kimpel and issuesinvolving sexual harass-

ment and a hostile workenvironment at the Sheriff’sOffice were conducted bytwo Licking Countydeputies who “were notappointed by the prosecu-tor’s office in Shelby County(and) were not deputized” byKimpel.

He noted the deputieshad no authority to grantimmunity and that Kimpelwas not granted immunity.He observed that Kimpelwas an elected official andthat the Garrity warning“does not apply to an electedofficial (and) it certainlydoes not apply to an electedofficial who hand-picks theofficials who will investi-gate.”

Pepple describedKimpel’s actions as “againstpublic policy,” explainingthat Kimpel could have atany time said to the investi-gating deputies, ‘sorry guys,you’re out of here.’”

“It is hardly an inde-pendent investigation whenthe target of the investiga-tion (Kimpel) asks theBuckeye State Sheriff ’sAssociation to investigatehimself,” Pepple said.“Public policy does not allowthis.”

Stating he wanted it onthe record, Pepple said, “It isimportant that (in this)state, officials know thatGarrity rights do not applyto them,” referring to elect-ed officials.

“It doesn’t work that way.… Garrity does not apply tothe sheriff.”

Kimpel appeared red-faced during Pepple’s com-ments.

“The motion to suppressis denied. The motion to dis-

miss is denied,” Pepple stat-ed. He then held up a fileand asked the attorneys ifthey realized that if he wasto dismiss the case, thatKimpel could immediatelyreturn to office as ShelbyCounty Sheriff with fullpowers. Citing the law onthe matter, Pepple said thecase should be continueduntil sentencing was com-pleted in Shelby County andthen a ruling could be madein the Auglaize County case.

Special Prosecutor GaryNasal of Miami County toldPepple that “the partieshave agreed that this casewould be dismissed withprejudice.” Nasal said hisoffice had held “extensiveconversations with the(alleged) victim” about thematter. Nasal said theagreement was “pursuantto plea negotiations inShelby County.”

The case was continueduntil June 8, at which timethe judge will rule on thecase. Zachary Maisch, anattorney for Kimpel,declined to comment oneither court case Fridaybecause the AuglaizeCounty case has been con-tinued.

Nasal said, “I’ll reservemy comment until after sen-tencing in Shelby (County).”Van Fossen had accusedthen-Sheriff Kimpel of sexu-ally assaulting her at herhome in Auglaize County in2010.

In December, a lawsuitwas settled involvingKimpel and former ShelbyCounty Sheriff ’s Capt.Michael Eilerman, whowere both sued by VanFossen regarding allegedsexual harassment of herwhile she worked at theSheriff ’s Office. It was set-tled for $105,000. Last fall,Shelby County Republicanofficials publicly called forKimpel to step down, whichhe refused to do.

Following Kimpel’sindictments, Nasal calledfor the Ohio Supreme Courtto suspend him from office,the first time such actionwas taken in the state ofOhio. Kimpel stepped aside,voluntarily accepting thesuspension and the OhioSupreme Court then ruledin favor of Nasal’s request.Former Shelby CountySheriff John Lenhart ofJackson Center was thennamed to serve as actingsheriff and is running forthe post in the Novemberelection.

During his suspension,Kimpel has continued toreceive his full Sheriff ’sOffice salary, which will endimmediately after he is sen-tenced in June.

AREA RELIGION BRIEFS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —On just about any Sunday, asmany as 10,000 people may fillthe pews of The Potter’s House,Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Dallas-areamegachurch. Believers say hehas an uncanny way of connect-ing with his audience anyway.

“It doesn’t matter about thesize,” says Faith Johnson, a 13-year member. “It’s almost likenobody else is in that church, butme.”

It takes some help for leadersof the largest megachurches andnational ministries to makebelievers reject the idea that asmaller church is more intimateand personable. A big staff ofassociate pastors and elders isindispensable.

Steve Doubet is an elder atJakes’ church. He says Jakes andhis wife, Serita, are down-to-earth people who create a friend-ly, intimate atmosphere that“rolls down through their associ-ate pastors and right on into thepews.”

“I love this place because itfeels intimate and it feels small,”Doubet said. “Week … to week,whoever you’re sitting next to,they’re open. You can attendchurches that are tiny, and are souptight, you don’t want to goback.”

Jakes is undoubtedly busy.Besides ministering at Potter’sHouse and satellites nationwide,he speaks abroad, is a best-selling author, and also producesmovies. His film “Woman ThouArt Loosed: On the 7th Day”debuts this month, and“Sparkle,” the last movie featur-ing the late Whitney Houston, isscheduled for release in August.

Jakes and other mega-pastorscredit their ability to stay intouch with their members tostrong church leadership. Forinstance, Jakes has 12 associatepastors and numerous elders.Doubet said the congregation

still receives a strong messageon the rare occasion that Jakescan’t preach.

“It’s important for him tohave heavy hitters to be able tocome in after him,” Doubet said.“Because after you’ve attendedthe church there for a while, youhave an expectation that you’regoing to get really well fed. Hisassociate pastors all can hit itover the fence.”

Despite his hectic schedule,Jakes says he takes time to per-sonally oversee funerals andeven makes hospital visits.

“I enjoy being there for thefamily in times of crisis to try tostir them and encourage them ina personal one-on-one way,” hesaid. “I take very seriously myresponsibility to feed the flock.We … provide every service thatwe did when we were still smallchurches.”

Pastor and gospel singerMarvin Winans has a congrega-tion of about 4,500 at PerfectingChurch in Detroit. Winans, whogave Whitney Houston’s eulogyin February and preached at amegachurch in Nashville last

month, said part of having aneffective ministry is havingdependable disciples.

“It cannot be a one-man showin order for it to properly work,”he said. “The first thing Jesusdid was get some disciples … forthe work of the ministry to carryon.”

Pastor Matthew Cork knewhe’d have to rely more on hisleadership when his nearly6,000-member Friends Churchin Yorba Linda, Calif., committedto building 200 schools in Indiaover the next 10 years for dalitchildren, who are part of thecountry’s lowest caste. He’s alsopromoting a book and movieabout the number of dalits whoend up being trafficked as sexslaves.

“We have a teaching team, soI’m not teaching every week,which gives me freedom to dosome of the other things that Ido,” said Cork, who speaks abouttwice a month at his church. “It’sworked great for me and myschedule.”

James Hudnut-Beumler, deanof Vanderbilt University Divinity

School in Nashville, said achurch’s pastoral staff is one fac-tor considered by people decidingwhether to attend a megachurchor a much smaller congregation.

“Do they want a great spiritu-al leader who is a charismaticpreacher who can move lots ofpeople, or do they want someonethey can talk to about the factthey’ve lost a job, or a relative?”he said.

Another issue, he said, is theamount of involvement. A personwho wants to just observe theservice may not be able to blendin unnoticed at a small churchlike they would at one with hun-dreds of people.

“They’re going to notice youand ask you to lead Sundayschool, or usher,” Hudnut-Beumler said. “There is virtuallyno dropping in and just sort ofobserving church. With amegachurch, you can stand onthe periphery and have greatservice.”

Nevertheless, AngelaBingham says she enjoys theintimate atmosphere at WalnutGrove Missionary Baptist

Church in Murfreesboro, Tenn.,which has a membership ofabout 230.

“You’re not just a number,”said the 49-year-old schoolteacher, who has attended thechurch most of her life. “Theyknow you by name, by face.”

In Chesapeake, Va., MartezLayton acknowledges it’s possi-ble to “feel like a number” at the7,500-member Mount LebanonBaptist Church that he and hiswife, Woodrina, attend. But hesaid they don’t because they’reboth active. The couple, whohave been married for over 20years, heads a marriage counsel-ing ministry.

“It’s being involved in theactivities in the church is whereyou begin to build your relation-ship,” he said. “It’s not like … wecan have a dinner after churchand everybody get to know eachother.”

Like many megachurches,Layton said he enjoys havingabundant resources. Forinstance, he said the church fed400 families for Thanksgiving.

“I know at a small churchthere’s no way you can feed 400families,” he said.

But others say just because achurch doesn’t have “mega” infront of it, doesn’t mean it’s inef-fective.

Richard W. Sibert is pastor ofWalnut Grove MissionaryBaptist Church. Despite the sizeof the church, he said it’s aboutthe business of caring for itsmembers, and the community.

“Smaller churches are utiliz-ing their talents and abilities ona smaller scale,” he said. “Someof them are actually moretogether than the megachurch-es.”

At St. Mark’s UnitedMethodist Church in Laurel,Md., where Robbie Morganfieldis pastor, only about 150 peopleregularly attend the service. ButMorganfield still has a vision tobuild a community center adja-cent to the church and believes itcan be done if his members com-mit themselves.

“I think you can be a smallchurch and have a mega-min-istry,” he said. “It’s about vision.A hundred people … can do a lotof stuff if they’re really commit-ted.”

How to run a megachurch? With help

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—When a musician plays aviolin long enough, theinstrument is imprintedwith its owner’s way of mak-ing sound. If someone elsepicks it up, they learn toplay it in a way that honorsits history.

So when David Russellplaces a violin played in theWorld War II concentrationcamp of Auschwitz underhis chin, he lets the violintell him how to do it. TheAuschwitz violin and 17 oth-ers with connections to thevanished world of Europe’sprewar Jewish communitiesare part of a new exhibit andperformance series called“Violins of Hope.”

“When the violinists in‘Violins of Hope’ play theseinstruments and they findhow to make these instru-ments sound their best,they’re actually bringingback patterns from the for-

mer performers who used toplay them,” said Russell, amusic professor at theUniversity of North Caro-lina Charlotte. “So we get animprint, as it were, of thatperson. They’re with us,they’re in the concert.”

“Violins of Hope” opensMonday at UNC CharlotteCenter City and will remainon view through April 20and again April 22-24. Theprogram includes relatedexhibits at other museumsand several performancesusing the violins. The pro-ject’s final concert will takeplace April 21 at theCharlotte Symphony, withnoted violinist ShlomoMintz taking part.

The violins were firstplayed publicly in 2008 inJerusalem and then exhibit-ed and played in 2010 inSion, Switzerland. They’venever before been exhibitedor played together in North

America.Some violins were played

at concentration camps; oth-ers were used to playklezmer music, a lively,soulful Jewish folk musicpopular in prewar EasternEurope. The Holocaust allbut extinguished theklezmer tradition but it’shad a revival in the U.S. inrecent decades.

All the violins wererestored by master violinmaker Amnon Weinstein,73, who says the violins pro-vide a way to teach youngpeople about the Holocaust,in which about 6 millionJews and 5 million otherswere murdered by Nazis.

“It’s very important. Ihope people will under-stand,” said Weinstein, whobelieves 400 of his familymembers died in theHolocaust “You cannot bringin dead people. But the vio-lins speak for the people.”

DETROIT (AP) — Americansare buying record numbers ofhybrid and electric cars as gasprices climb and new modelsarrive in showrooms, giving thevehicles their greatest share yet ofthe U.S. auto market.Consumers bought a record

52,000 gas-electric hybrids andall-electric cars in March, up from34,000 during the same monthlast year.The two categories combined

made up 3.64 percent of total U.S.sales, their highest monthly mar-ket share ever, according toWard’sAutoInfoBank. The previous highwas 3.56 percent in July 2009,when the Cash for Clunkers pro-gram encouraged people to tradein old gas guzzlers for more fuel-efficient cars.And while their share of the

market remains small, it’s a bigleap from the start of the year,when hybrids and electrics madeup 2.38 percent of new car sales.Buyers were drawn by new

models like the Toyota Prius C

subcompact, the Prius V wagonand Camry hybrid. Gas pricesnear or above $4 per gallon addedto the cars’ attraction.David Martin, a Denver soft-

ware engineer, estimates he’ll saveat least $150 per month on gaswith his new Chevrolet Volt com-pared with the 2010Acura TSX hereplaced. Martin expects gas

prices to stay high, a factor thatheavily influenced his purchase.“As the cost of gasoline rises,

my future savings can onlyincrease,” he said.Stronger sales of the Volt and

the Nissan Leaf were a positivesign for electric car makers. Thetwo vehicles have struggled togain acceptance from buyers wor-ried about how far they can driveon a battery charge.Another concern: Volt maker

General Motors Co. had to changethe car’s charging system becauseits batteries caught fire after gov-ernment crash tests.GM sold just 7,671 Volts last

year, below its goal of 10,000. Butin March, it set a new monthlyrecord of 2,289 for the Volt, anelectric car with a small backupgas engine. Sales of the all-elec-tric Leaf nearly doubled to 579.The Volt got a boost from

California’s decision to make iteligible for high-occupancy vehi-cle lanes. Starting March 1, buy-ers with a low-emissions Volt

could use the HOV lane and get a$1,500 state tax credit on top of a$7,500 federal tax credit. GM saida quarter of the Volts it sold lastmonth were sold in California.Edward Ang, of Cupertino,

Calif., has been planning to buy aVolt since GM first announced itwould make the car, but he waiteduntil it qualified for the HOVsticker. He bought a Volt lastmonth and now makes his 10-mile commute without using anygas. He used to drive a 2004Prius.“I made a promise to myself

that if they bring it to market, Iwill get one,” said Ang, an engi-neering manager.Gas prices helped sales. The

nationwide average for a gallon ofgas jumped 19 cents in March,from $3.73 to $3.92, and it crossedthe $4 mark in California evenearlier. The $4 mark was a signif-icant psychological milestone forsome buyers, said Paul Lacy, whoforecasts sales trends for consult-ing firm IHS Automotive.

NEW YORK (AP) —Earnings reports from twomajor banks Friday paint-ed a picture of a healinghousing market, with moreAmericans taking out mort-gages, paying them on timeand taking advantage oflow interest rates to refi-nance.At JPMorgan Chase, the

biggest bank in the UnitedStates, income from newhome loans set a recordfrom January throughMarch. The bank issued 6percent more mortgagesthan a year ago and got 33percent more applications.Wells Fargo, which

issues the most home loans,booked the most mortgagefees since 2009. It issued 54percent more mortgagesthan a year ago and took 84percent more applications.A healthier housing

market is welcome news.Housing has been thebiggest drag on the eco-nomic recovery, while othersegments, such as manu-facturing and consumerspending, have held up orgrown.Home prices are still

falling, though more slowlythan in the past severalyears, and more than half amillion American homeswere in the foreclosureprocess at the end ofMarch, according toRealtyTrac.Still, stronger mortgage

business helped JPMorganand Wells Fargo beat WallStreet expectations forfirst-quarter earnings.JPMorgan CEO JamieDimon boasted that thebank had originated200,000 mortgages in thequarter.

Two key factors helped:The average rate on the

30-year fixed mortgagedropped to 3.87 percent inFebruary, the lowest sincelong-term mortgages beganin the 1950s. Rates havestayed low: This week, theaverage is 3.88 percent.Wells Fargo CEO John

Stumpf said the housingmarket is close to a “tippingpoint” at which it can takeoff.“When you have the

dynamics of higher rentalrates and lower home val-ues at great financingrates, there’s a point intime where the market’sgoing to clear and you’regoing to see improvement,”Stumpf said.Some markets, he said,

like Texas, NorthernCalifornia and Washington,D.C., have already reachedthat point.Job growth in January

and February was some ofthe strongest since theGreat Recession, and theunemployment rate hasfallen to 8.2 percent, thelowest since January 2009.At Wells Fargo, 15 per-

cent of mortgage applica-tions came from the gov-ernment’s Home AffordableRefinance Program, whichhelps Americans who owemore than their property isworth get more affordableloans.“It is great to see people

who have made their pay-ments every month eventhough they are underwa-ter, or hugely underwater,”Stumpf said. “And now tobe able to help them put afew hundred dollars extrain their pocket everymonth, that is terrific.”

Hybrid, electric cars see record sales

Reports pointto a healinghousing market

AP PHOTO/JEFF BARNARD, FILEA Nissan Leaf tops off its battery in Central Point, Ore., March 16 atone of the charging stations along Interstate 5. U.S. car buyersbought a record number of hybrid and electric cars in March 2012,as new models went on sale and gas prices neared $4 per gallon.

NEW YORK (AP) —The zigzag in the stockmarket this past week mayleave you wonderingqueasily: Will this quarterbuild on the blockbustergains from the start of theyear or wipe them away?History suggests the

winning streak will contin-ue.Over the past 30 years,

strong quarters like theone that ended in Marchhave tended to be followedby more gains. Smallergains, usually, but gainsnonetheless.From 1982, the start of

what some consider themodern era of investing,through the end of lastyear, there were 17 quar-ters in which the Standard& Poor’s 500 index rose 10percent or more.Only twice were those

gains followed by a losingquarter. In both cases, theloss was small: 1.1 percentand 0.1 percent. The other15 times, the average gainin the subsequent quarterwas 6.6 percent.

The two losses bothcame when the economywas just emerging fromrecession, periods that areripe for market bumpinessas investors try to gaugewhether the worst really isbehind them.This time around, the

recession has been over foralmost three years. Andthough the market has hadquarterly swings, it hasmoved mostly higher.Investors are betting thata steady, if unimpressive,expansion is under way.The S&P gained 12 per-

cent from January throughMarch, its best first quar-ter since 1998. That fol-lowed a gain of 11 percentin the quarter before, fromOctober throughDecember.And the record is also

promising when the mar-ket racks up two consecu-tive double-digit quarters.It’s happened three othertimes since 1982. Eachtime was followed by athird quarterly gain aver-aging about 5 percent.

Can stocks extendfirst-quarter streak?

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: I read the letterfrom "Upstate New York WhereIt's 20 Degrees Outside."He said his wife has hot flash-

es and wants to set the thermo-stat down, but he likes it at 74 sohe can run around in his under-wear. She's ready to move out.He thinks she's being selfish.We also are from upstate New

York, and I think he is the self-ish one. He can dress in layers,put on a sweater or buy himselfa parka.On the other hand, there is

just so much that she can takeoff. Yes, he may pay the bills, butI wonder who cooks, cleans, doesthe laundry, shops and cares forthe children. — Long-TimeReader, First-TimeResponder

Dear Long-Time Reader:That letter made a lot of readers"hot" under the collar. Read onfor more:

From Wisconsin: Tell him toturn the heat down and put themoney he saves toward thosemortgage payments he is sosmug about.Better yet, donate it to a chari-

ty that helps cover energy billsfor those who aren't able to paythem.

Boston: I have never in mylong life said this to anyone, butwhat a jerk!My husband and I have had

this same problem. Our thermo-stat is set at 69. He wearssweats and warm slippers, and Iwear T-shirts. This is not aboutwho pays the mortgage, butabout your attitude toward yourpartner.

Indiana: No one needs to suf-fer from hot flashes. As soon asmy doctor prescribed an antide-pressant, it was like someoneflipped a switch.

Chicago: As a woman in hereighth year of hot flashes andnight sweats, I have learnedsome coping skills. Many womencannot take hormone replace-ment. I have found some relief inyoga, breathing techniques andmindful meditation.I suggest the wife find a room

she can call her own and keep itat a temperature that is comfort-able for her. This time is a natu-ral progression in women's livesand should be embraced. I hopeher journey is a short one.

California: Thirty years ago,due to surgery, I had hot flashes.An acquaintance told me her ob-gyn recommended vitamin E. Itworked! It took six weeks to kickin, but, oh, the relief!

Georgia: I urge you to exer-cise extreme caution in recom-mending natural remedies forhot flashes. These treatments areunregulated and can contain avariety of harmful substances,and they don't have to have anyof these on their labels. Peopleshould be very careful.For further information, con-

tact the Centers for DiseaseControl toxicology division inAtlanta.

Upstate New York: What aninconsiderate husband. It's hischoice to wear nothing aroundthe house, so he should be will-ing to suffer the consequences.We keep our house at 65 degrees.Sweaters and slippers are com-fortable and healthier than 74degrees. We sleep well and evenbetter when I get the gas bill.Last time I checked, it was "our"house, not "my" house.

California: I have had briefhot flashes since 2008. They onlyseem to last forever. I have ahand fan by my bed and recliner,and I carry a folding one in mypurse. In the winter, I step out-side for a few minutes. I takecare of myself without inconve-niencing anyone else, but I willbe glad when they are over.

Florida: I've been in that gen-tleman's shoes for a number ofyears and had the same com-plaint. Six months ago, however,I suffered male hot flashes as aresult of a hormone imbalance.Having been on the other side, Ican tell him that it is a veryunpleasant experience and oneover which you have no control.

It’ll only make you look bad.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be sure tolook at your problems realisticallyand not through an optimistic lens.

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama’shopes of using diplomacy todefuse an unpredictable,nuclear-equipped NorthKorea fizzled with thatcountry’s failed rocketlaunch, leaving Obama withlittle to show for his over-ture to the new NorthKorean leader.The launch Friday, in

defiance of U.S. and interna-tional demands, scuttled aonce-promising deal toexchange much-needed U.S.food aid for nuclear conces-sions and the prospect ofbroader disarmament talks.Obama had insisted that

“bad behavior” would not berewarded and now has fewoptions to restart negotia-tions without appearing tolet North Korea off the hook.Obama told an inter-

viewer Friday that thelaunch would only serve tofurther cut off North Koreafrom the rest of the worldand shows the regime iswilling to waste money on“rockets that don’t work at atime when their people arestarving.”He said in the interview

with the Spanish-languageTV network “Telemundo”that the U.S. would workwith other nations to furtherisolate North Korea and“keep the pressure on them,”although he was not specific.Almost immediately

after the launch, Republicanpresidential challenger MittRomney accused Obama oftrying to appease NorthKorea by dangling a food aiddeal “that proved to be asnave as it was short-lived.”The White House

responded tartly.Deputy national security

adviser Ben Rhodes was

asked whether the launchrepresented a failure ofadministration efforts toengage the North’s newrulers.“Absolutely not,” he said.

“What this administrationhas done is broken the cycleof rewarding provocativeactions by the NorthKoreans that we’ve seen inthe past.”North Korea’s attempt to

launch a rocket with whatthe North Koreans said wasa satellite attached ended infailure when the rocket dis-integrated over the YellowSea. Western nations havesaid the launch was a coverfor the testing of a long-range missile.The Obama administra-

tion is trying to shift its for-eign policy emphasis towardAsia, home of most of theworld’s fastest-developingeconomies and markets, andhad hoped that even modestimprovements in relationswith North Korea couldhelp.The impoverished, heavi-

ly militarized autocracy is alooming threat to U.S. allieslike South Korea and Japan.It is an irritant in U.S. rela-tions with regional power-house China.A sudden leadership

change in North Koreaseemed to improve the oddsof better footing with theregime, one of the pariahnations former PresidentGeorge W. Bush placed onhis “axis of evil” 10 yearsago. The food deal reachedFeb. 29 was supposed toopen the way for new talksthat could eventually brokeran end to North Korea’snuclear weapons programand the proliferation risk itposes.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —There’s no way to figure out just howmuch Andy Hillenburg has put intoRockingham Speedway, the track hebought at auction for $4.4 millionwith no guarantee he’d ever returnracing to “The Rock.”Between the money spent to open

a dormant race track, the long hoursrequired of a track operator and thelessons learned in understandinghow to promote races,Hillenburg hasmade an unbelievable commitmentto the Rockingham, N.C., racetrack.“All I have,” he said when asked

what he’s put into the track.“Everything I ever worked for I’veput into this, because I believe inwhat we are doing.”NASCARmakes its official return

to Rockingham on Sunday when theTrucks Series races around thebeloved mile-long flat oval. It will bethe first NASCAR-sanctioned eventsince 2004, when a long-termrealignment plan led NASCAR toabandon its grass-roots tracks infavor of building up bigger marketssuch as California, Chicago andKansas City.Track operator International

Speedway Corp., the sister companyto NASCAR, gave one ofRockingham’s race dates toCalifornia. The track eventually wassold to rival Speedway MotorsportsInc., which “transferred” the secondrace date to its Texas track. With

NASCAR no longer on the schedule,SMI shuttered the track and put itup for auction in 2007.Enter Hillenburg, who had done

just about every job imaginable inracing.As a driver, Hillenburg won an

ARCA championship, competed inthe Indianapolis 500, made 29 startsspanning all three of NASCAR’snational divisions and finished acareer-best third driving in the 1999Nationwide Series race at Daytonafor Joe Gibbs Racing.As a team owner, he’s fielded cars

in ARCA and NASCAR’s TruckSeries, and owns and operates theFast Track High PerformanceDriving School. And, he’s been anactor and adviser in several racing-themed movies, including “TalladegaNights.”So with old North Carolina

Speedway up for sale, Hillenburgjumped into the bidding and won.Then he went to work initially

from his cell phone because, ofcourse, there were no workingphones at the track to bring racingback to The Rock. First came anARCA race, in 2008, then smallerseries began racing at the track. Andbecause there were no NASCAR-sanctioned races at the track,Hillenburg was able to rent it out toteams as a test track. His racingschool also uses the facility.But his eye was always on the big

prize.“I had hoped for it, but being in

the sport my whole life, I knew itwasn’t something to take for grantedas ‘Oh, we’ll get a NASCAR race,’” hesaid. “I knew what we needed to do,and I got us 90 percent there beforewe ever had a meeting withNASCAR. We couldn’t go to themuntil I felt like I had a handle onbeing able to promote races andcould show NASCAR the trackdeserved a race.”The first official meeting was at

Darlington last May, whenHillenburg brought the mayor ofRockingham, the city manager andtwo county commissioners with him.“I found out then what the other

10 percent was that we had to do toget a NASCAR race, and knowingwhen they like to finalize the sched-ule, my timetable was to have it alldone at the end of August,” he said.The track still needed SAFER

barriers, and there were updatesrequired to the timing and scoringsystem. Once those were done,NASCAR was ready to give him arace date.“It was a heartbreaking loss when

the decision was made to leave, butthat’s now in the past and we arefocused on the future,” Rockinghammayor Gene McLaurin said. “Wenever gave up hope that one day wewould welcome NASCAR back hometo Rockingham Speedway.”

LONG BEACH, Calif.(AP) — Chevrolet’s strongstart in its return toIndyCar suffered a signifi-cant setback Thursdaywhen the manufacturerdecided to change theengines for all 11 of itsteams before they open theweekend at Long Beach.The change means all

11 Chevrolet drivers willdrop 10 spots on the start-ing grid before Sunday’srace under an IndyCar rulethat prohibits enginechanges before each onehas completed 1,850 miles.

“This is certainly a deci-sion that was not madelightly,” said Chris Berube,program manager forChevrolet’s IndyCar effort.“We intently discussed thesituation with our partnersand our teams prior todetermining that this wasthe best course of action topreserve the integrity ofthe racing in the IZODIndyCar Series.”IndyCar has competing

manufacturers for the firsttime since 2005, withChevrolet and Lotus jump-ing into a series that

Honda had controlledexclusively the past sevenseasons. Lotus is admitted-ly lagging behind the othertwo, so it’s been a manufac-turers’ battle through thefirst two events betweenonly Chevy and Honda.So far, Chevy is the deci-

sive winner.Chevrolet has won both

poles and both races so farthis season, and leads themanufacturers’ race with18 points to Honda’s 12.IndyCar had previously

announced that Lotus driv-er Sebastien Bourdais

would be penalized 10spots on the grid becausehis team changed hisengine after the April 1race at Barber. OriolServia, who changed hisengine before the Barberrace, also might needanother new Lotus thisweekend and also would besubjected to the penalty.The problem with the

Chevrolet engines was dis-covered following Monday’sopen test at Sonoma,where James Hinchliffehad an engine failure.Chevrolet changed his

engine, and IndyCarannounced he’d be penal-ized the 10 grid spots.“This is obviously disap-

pointing, but it is the samefor all the Chevy teamsand these things happenwhen you are in develop-ment programs,” Chevyowner Michael Andrettisaid. “Luckily the problemwas caught during a testrather than in the middleof a race. It’s unfortunate,but we stand behind Chevyand whatever is needed tocontinue to set thestandard.”

Return to The Rock

FORT WORTH, Texas(AP) — The Busch Brothersare adding a new dynamicto their relationship.When Kurt Busch gets in

the car for Friday night’sNASCAR Nationwide racein Texas, where he ran inthat series for the first timeandwon six years ago, it willbe his debut driving foryounger brother Kyle’s newstock car team.“It is owner-driver, but it

is brother-brother, and it’sunique with me having theupper hand on age,” 33-year-old Kurt Busch saidThursday. “But I respecthim for the guts that he hasto jump into this endeavor,to be the owner.”After the first of about 17

Nationwide races driving forhis brother, they will becompetitors again Saturdaynight in the Sprint Cuprace.It was at Texas last

November when NASCARbarred 26-year-old KyleBusch from driving for JoeGibbs in the Cup andNationwide races. Thatcame after Busch, drivingthe truck he owned, deliber-ately wrecked champi-onship contender RonHornaday Jr. during a cau-tion in the race that starteda tripleheader weekend.Since NASCAR’s last trip

to the 1 1/2-mile high-banked track, Kurt Buschhas changed Cup teams. Hesplit with Penske Racingafter six seasons in whatwas called a mutual partingof the ways and is with thenew much smaller and less-funded Phoenix Racingteam.“Both teams that I’m

with this year are veryunique circumstances,” hesaid. “We’ll have chances atwinning in the Nationwidecar, we’re going to have toclaw and scrap and fightreal hard with the Cup car.But we’re going to have ouropportunities to have funevery week.”After the Easter break,

NASCAR resumes thisweekend with the firstscheduled night Cup race ofthe season, though not thefirst one. (Don’t forget thatrain-postponed Daytona 500that was run on a Mondaynight).Greg Biffle, who has

seven consecutive top-10finishes in Texas and won atthe track in 2005, is therelaxed points leader.Biffle took advantage of

the time off with a Bahamasvacation, chartering a bigboat that he stayed on dur-ing the week.

Hall NomineesWendell Scott and

Rusty Wallace are amongthe five new nomineesannounced Wednesday forthe 2013 NASCAR Hall ofFame class.Also added to the nomi-

nee list was Anne BledsoeFrance, wife of NASCARfounder Bill France Sr.She was NASCAR’s firsttreasurer and secretary,and is the first womannominated for the Hall ofFame.Engine builder Ray Fox

also was nominated, aswas sponsor executiveRalph Seagraves.Scott won the 1963 race

at Speedway Park inJacksonville, Fla., for theonly victory of his 495career starts. A formertaxi driver, he became thefirst black driver tobecome a full-time com-petitor in NASCAR.He ranked 33rd on the

list for career starts, andaccumulated 20 top-fivefinishes and 147 top-10finishes.Wallace was the 1989

Cup champion, and iseighth on the career listwith 55 victories.

Indy PenaltiesJames Hinchcliffe and

Sebastien Bourdais will bedocked 10 starting spots atthis weekend’s race, pun-ishment for unapprovedengine changes.Series officials say

Hinchcliffe changed hisChevy engine during a testlast week at InfineonRaceway, and Bourdaischanged his Lotus engineafter the Alabama raceApril 1.

She said, He SaidCarl Edwards disagrees

with assertions by Olympicswimmer Amanda Beardthat the NASCAR driverwas controlling and jealousduring their yearlong rela-tionship.Edwards said Friday he

was puzzled by what hisformer girlfriend wroteabout their time together.Beard’s 256-page memoirwas released last week.She writes that she was

now finally at peace as ahappily married and proudmom after years of strug-gling with depression,bulimia, drug abuse andtoxic relationships. Abouta dozen pages are devotedto her time with Edwardsfrom 2005 to 2006.Asked if he’d dispute

how Beard described him,Edwards responded,“Absolutely.”

Sports [email protected]

Two years ago, Newton won astate championship.Last season, Tippecanoe

reached the state’s final four.Both teams accomplished

those feats with strong pitchingand solid defense.Friday night’s kickoff to the

Strike Out Cancer Classic atKyle Park in Tipp City featureda lot more of that third thingboth teams are known for —hitting.

The Red Devils and Indianscombined for 33 hits, playingdeep into the night after an 8p.m. start, but Tippecanoe (8-3)was able to convert more ofthose into runs — especially in asix-run fourth inning — takingcontrol and never letting go in a15-6 victory.“After last night’s loss (to Ben

Logan), I was proud of the girlsfor the way they played tonight,”Tippecanoe coach CharlesTackett said. “Newton’s always agood defensive team, and we puta lot of balls in play.”And with the score tied 2-2 in

the top of the fourth, those ballsstarted finding holes in thedefense.After a leadoff error, Bri

Eichbaum doubled home a runwith one out, then MaddieWatkins drove her in. CassieGingrich followed with a bunt

The more things change …BY DAVID FONG

Executive [email protected]

Scot Brewer is far less wor-ried about Week 11 in 2013 andfar more concerned with Week 1in 2012.Thursday, the Ohio High

School Athletic Associationannounced in 2013 it is adding a

seventh tournament division infootball. Barring any unforeseenchanges, the move will drop Troyfrom Division I to Division II.Historically, Troy always hascompeted in the OHSAA’slargest division — this will bethe first move to a smaller divi-sion in school history.

None of which is of concern toBrewer, Troy’s football coach.“All I’m concerned about right

now is (Chaminade Julienne),”Brewer said of the Trojans’ firstopponent in 2012. “That’s theonly thing I’m thinking about. Iguess it’s great for the sportsforum guys on the Internet — itgives them something to talkabout. But as a football coach,

we’ve still got to play our sched-ule and win football games. If wedon’t beat the teams on ourschedule, it’s not going to matterwhat division we are in.”The plan for adding a seventh

division by the OHSAA was inresponse to a concern by someOHSAA member schools aboutthe enrollment disparity that

Meyer’s quest for game-changers is ongoingCOLUMBUS (AP) —

The list of big-time playersUrban Meyer had whilewinning two national cham-pionships at Florida goes onand on: Percy Harvin, ChrisLeak, Tim Tebow, JoeHaden and Brandon Spikes,among others.

So far, during his firstfew weeks working with hisnew team at Ohio State, hehas yet to find anyone ofthat caliber.

But he remains hopeful.“You’ve got to do it over

and over again but there aretimes…”he said earlier thisweek after what he calledthe best practice he’s seenthe offense have in the shorttime he’s been with theteam. “It’s not a clown showout there like at a couple ofpoints it was.”

It’s a three-ring affair inmany ways. With a new

offensive system, theBuckeyes are learning newplays, new terminology, newphilosophies — really onephilosophy, Meyer’s.

“It’s just really, really,really uptempo,” offensivelineman Jack Mewhort saidof the change. “We’re a no-huddle offense now.”

That’s dramatically dif-ferent from years past whenOhio State relied more onmuscle and execution toblow people off the ball, free-ing the skill players to pileup big yardage.

“Last year we were muchmore of an I-formationteam, kind of a pro-stylething with the quarterbackunder center a lot,” fullbackZach Boren said. “This yearit’s all about spreading thefield and making verticalplays, getting the ball upand down the field with

speed. We’re not going to belining up with a fullbackand a tight end in the boxand just running power.We’re still going to runpower this year, we’re stillgoing to be a tough, physicalpower running team, butwe’re just going to do it outof different formations andlet guys play in space andmake plays.”

Now if somebody onoffense would just provethat they can do that.

All spring Meyer haslamented that no one hasshown breakaway speed orplaymaking ability. Thatdoesn’t mean the Buckeyeshaven’t made some head-way, but it’s not like they’veunearthed a Harvin whocan crack a game open fromany of three or four posi-tions.

In his first season after

taking over a programrocked by Jim Tressel’sforced resignation less thana year ago and a 6-7 markunder interim coach LukeFickell last fall, Meyerbelieves the Buckeyes aregaining ground, literally.

“There’s momentum in(the running back) group,”he said. “As long as there’smomentum in a group,that’s a positive. And thereceivers are getting better.But someone has to — weneed two or three to stepup.”

Funny, but Ohio Statemight have found someoneto turn the tide on the otherside of the ball. Although heis far from proving himselfan All-American, as Hadenand Spikes did at Florida atcornerback and linebacker,respectively, lineman JohnSimon has been a mainstay

on defense.How good has he been?

Meyer went so far as to com-pare Simon to one of hisfavorite players at his lastcoaching stop, a guy stillmaking headlines.

“The No. 1 guy, the guywho’s just a warhorse, he isOhio State football, is JohnSimon,” Meyer said. “I can’thelp but say I love the guy.He’s one of the most com-mitted — he’s Tebowish asfar as his commitment.”

While none of the wide-outs have really stood out,many others on offensehave made big strides.

Quarterback BraxtonMiller, running backsJordan Hall and CarlosHyde, tight end JakeStoneburner and occasion-ally others have displayed aknack for biting off chunksof yardage.

Of the burly (6-foot, 235pounds) Hyde, Meyer said,“He’s drinking the Kool-Aidright now.”

But that doesn’t meanhe’s marked himself assomeone who can change agame with one step, oneswivel of the hips, oneshake-and-bake move likefamed Florida quarterbacksLeak and Tebow, who deliv-ered national titles.

Besides, it’s a long way tothe Sept. 1 opener againstMiami (Ohio).

“It’s a work in progress,”Meyer said of the quest tofind a football home-run hit-ter. “But the best thing, thesnaps are hitting the quar-terback right between thenumbers.And guys are com-peting. So that’s why I’m(growing) very impressedwith the Ohio StateBuckeyes.”

Getting started earlyKANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)

—Michael Brantley had onehit in 17 at-bats duringCleveland’s season-openinghomestand. One measly hit.

He had two of ‘em in thefirst inning alone Friday.

The Indians’ anemicoffense broke loose againstLuke Hochevar and theRoyals. Cleveland poundedout seven runs in the open-ing frame, and AsdrubalCabrera tacked on a ninth-inning homer for good meas-ure in an 8-3 victory thatspoiled Kansas City’s homeopener.

“That’s the way the gamegoes,” Indians managerManny Acta said, almostshrugging in his chair.“Water usually goes to thelevel it’s supposed to be. Iknew those guys would batbetter, and the first inningwas a great example ofthat.”

Shin-Soo Choo and JasonKipnis each drove in a pairas the Indians scored moretimes in the opening inningthan they had in any of theirfirst five games.

The seven runs allowedbyHochevar (1-1) in the firstinning matched the numberof runs that Kansas Citystarters had allowed duringa six-game road trip to beginthe season.

“You couldn’t ask for abetter way to start off,”Kipnis said.

Derek Lowe (2-0) gave upthree runs and 11 hits in 62-3 innings for Cleveland.The 38-year-old right-han-der routinely worked out oftrouble, getting help from apair of double plays thatkept Kansas City frommounting much of a come-back.

“When you’re pitching onthe road in the other team’shome opener, there’s goingto be a lot of buzz,” Lowe

said. “To sort of silence themright away, you can’t ask formuch more.”

Hochevar’s miserablestart got a whole lot worse inthe fourth inning, when hetook a liner off his left anklehit by Cleveland sluggerCarlos Santana.

The right-hander wentdown in a heap as the ballcaromed to first base for thefinal out of the inning. Teamofficials rushed out to tendto Hochevar, who put almostno weight on his ankle whilebeing helped to the dugoutby manager Ned Yost andtrainer Nick Kenney.

The team said thatHochevar had a “left medialankle contusion” or, a really

bad bruise. X-rays taken atthe ballpark came back neg-ative and he is day to day.

“When it hit him, I wasreal nervous. It got himsolid,” Yost said. “I had somefears there it might havefractured his leg, but the X-rays came up negative.”

Yost said he’s not surewhether Hochevar willmake his next scheduledstart.

“We’ll see,” Yost said. “It’sfive days away.”

The first inning was arevelation for Cleveland,which batted just .176 dur-ing a miserable 1-4 startthat even prompted man-agement to work out a dealwith veteran outfielder

Johnny Damon to providesome eventual pop in theIndians’ punchless lineup.

Nationals 2,Reds 1 (13 inn.)WASHINGTON —

Jayson Werth’s bases-loaded single off Reds clos-er Sean Marshall with oneout in the bottom of the13th inning Friday nightgave the WashingtonNationals their fourth con-secutive victory, a 2-1comeback against theCincinnati Reds.

The NL East-leadingNationals improved to 6-2,their best start to a seasonsince moving fromMontreal to Washington in2005.

Pacers beat CavsINDIANAPOLIS (AP)

— Darren Collison mightwant to get well soon.

While he has beenrecovering from a soregroin, backup point guardGeorge Hill has provencapable as a starter. Hillhad 15 points and sevenassists to help the IndianaPacers clinch a playoff spotby beating the ClevelandCavaliers 102-83 Fridaynight.

Indiana has won allthree games Hill has start-ed. He has averaged 16.7points and 5.3 assists in awin over Toronto and twovictories over Cleveland.

Hill scored 10 points inthe second quarter onFriday, helping the Pacersrally from a 14-point deficit.He played asmore of a purepoint guard in the thirdquarter with no points, fourassists and no turnovers.

“Sometimes, it mightnot be your time to take theshots and be aggressive,”Hill said. “In the secondquarter, even playing withD.G. (Danny Granger) out

there, he saw that I had themismatch at the time and Ihad it going a little bit andwe were running a lot ofthings for me, and then inthe third quarter, we hadD.G. and David Westgoing.”

Granger scored 18points, Tyler Hansbroughscored 16 points, LeandroBarbosa scored 13 pointsand Roy Hibbert added 12points and 10 rebounds forthe Pacers, who have wonseven of eight.

Indiana (37-22)matched its win total fromlast season. The Pacers arein third place in theEastern Conference stand-ings and are trying toclinch homecourt advan-tage in the first round ofthe playoffs.

“We haven’t accom-plished anything yet,”Indiana coach Frank Vogelsaid. “Nothing has changedfor us.We felt for awhile wewould be in the playoffs,but until we get home-courtadvantage, there is work tobe done.”

Saints owner Benson buys Hornets from NBANEWYORK (AP)—Tom

Benson brought stability tothe Saints nearly threedecades ago and now plansto do the same for theHornets in small-marketNew Orleans.

The Saints’ owneragreed Friday to purchasethe Hornets from the NBA.

“We expect this club to beone of the most outstandingclubs in the league, other-wise I don’t want to getinvolved,” Benson said.“This is just a good thingand I’m just glad to be apart of it.”

A person familiar withthe deal says the purchaseprice is $338 million. Theperson spoke to TheAssociated Press on condi-tion of anonymity becausethe financial terms have notbeen announced.

The NBA has been try-ing to sell the Hornets sincebuying the club fromfounder George Shinn inDecember 2010. While

preparing the team for salethe league negotiated a newlease for the Hornets toremain in the state-ownedNew Orleans Arenathrough 2024.

The sale of the team toBenson has to be approvedby the NBA’s Board ofGovernors,which ismeetingin New York on Friday.

“The city is one of thecountry’s treasures and wereally have found the per-fect owner,” CommissionerDavid Stern said. “Our goalall along has been to get theHornets bought by some-body whose commitment toNewOrleans would be unri-valed.”

The framework of owner-ship negotiations were han-dled in a way that a newHornets owner would haveto accept the lease workedout between the NBA andGov.Bobby Jindal.The leaseagreement also called for$50 million in improve-ments to the basketball sta-

dium, which sits rightacross the street from theSuperdome.

Once the NBA approvesthe sale of theteam to Benson,the next step is forthe stateLegislature toapprove the arenalease deal becauseof the fundingneeded for stadi-um improve-ments. But leg-islative leadersalready have pub-licly voiced support for theproposed lease deal, whichwould take effect in July.

The 84-year-old Benson,a New Orleans-native, hasowned the Saints since1985, when he stepped in toblock efforts by otherprospective investors tomove the NFL franchise toJacksonville, Fla. NowBenson has made anothermajor investment to stabi-lize the NBA’s presence in

the Big Easy on the sameday that the Hornets werehosting the Utah Jazz, thevery team New Orleans lost

to relocation in1979.

Benson helpedbring the Saintstheir first playoffappearance in1987 and finally aSuper Bowl titlein 2010. His own-ership of theHornets meansthe two small-market franchises

both will be locally ownedand now can work as part-ners in their efforts toattract corporate sponsor-ships, and Hornets fans canat least hope that will trans-late to a better product onthe hardwood.

At the very least, themove provided Benson withsome refreshingly positivepublicity on the heels of theSaints’ bounty scandal,which led the NFL to sus-

pend head coach SeanPayton for the entire 2012season the same season thatwill see New Orleans hostthe Super Bowl.

Only a day before theSaints announced Benson’spurchase of the Hornets, theNFL club announced thatassistant head coach JoeVitt, who also oversees line-backers, would be elevatedto interim coach for thecoming football season,despite his own six-gamesuspension in connectionwith the bounty probe.

While the Saints havebecome a cherished institu-tion that has becomeentrenched in the local cul-ture since the club’s found-ing in 1967, the Hornets arerelatively new toLouisiana’s pro sports land-scape.

The Hornets moved toNew Orleans fromCharlotte in 2002, but haveoften been on shaky groundsince, including when the

club spent two full seasonsin Oklahoma City afterHurricane Katrina devas-tated large parts of south-east Louisiana in August2005.

In 2010, former ownerGeorge Shinn decided topull out. He was unable tofind a buyer who wouldcommit to keeping the teamin New Orleans, so the NBAtook the unprecedented stepof taking ownership of theteam and has been workingto find a new permanentlocal owner for a year-and-a-half.

As part of the effort toattract a new owner, teamofficials spent the past off-season conducting anunusual campaign to buildthe club’s season-ticket baseto 10,000, which the leagueconsiders a benchmark forsuccessful franchises. Thecampaign involved socialmixers in the homes ofprominent business peoplein the region.

Divisionscurrently exists in DivisionI, where the current rangeis 494 males at the lowerend of the division to 1,164males at the top of the divi-sion. Under the new plan,Division I would consist ofschools with 600 or moremales.According to Troy

Athletic Director JeffSakal’s calculations, Troyshould have in the neigh-borhood of 560 males for

2013, making it one of thebigger Division II schoolsas opposed to its traditionalrole as one of the smallerDivision I schools in Ohio.“Based upon our present

numbers, we would be aDivision II school under thenew plan,” Sakal said.Sakal said he approves

of the measure, which hesaid would make a moreequitable playing field. In2012, Troy had 552 malesenrolled in the school.

Troy’s playoff opponent lastfall, Upper Arlington, had685 males. The 2012Division I state champion,Cleveland Saint Ignatius,had 1,121 males enrolled inthe school.“I feel pretty good that

this will be able to level theplaying field a little bit,”Sakal said. “Any time youcan get kids in a more com-petitive situation, the bet-ter off they’ll be. Plus, youget 32 more schools in the

of the day for the Indians,who had played theBradford Railroaders in acritical Cross CountyConference game earlierin the day — and beatenthem 2-1 in a tense, emo-tional game that camedown to the wire.

win in that game, whichwas a rematch of lastyear’s sectional champi-onship, then her arm gotsome much-needed restagainst the Devils.“That was a great

league game right beforecoming here. That’stough,” Tackett said.“People think I’m nuts

to do that, but that’s howyou get better,” Kadel said.“That’s why we come here— to play good teams.”Erin Hixon got the start

Arkansas’ Dorrell put on leaveFAYETTEVILLE, Ark.

(AP) — Arkansas put theformer mistress of BobbyPetrino on paid leaveFriday and disclosed thatshe used a $20,000 “gift”from the disgraced formercoach to buy a car in herfirst week on the job.University spokesman

Steve Voorhies said JessicaDorrell, a 25-year-old foot-ball department employee,had been placed on leavebut declined further com-ment, calling it a privatepersonnel issue.Dorrell, a former

Arkansas volleyball player,was a RazorbackFoundation fundraiserbefore she was hired as astudent-athlete develop-ment coordinator byPetrino on March 28 at anannual salary of $55,735.She has not returnedrepeated calls seeking com-ment.The move came as

Petrino said he would notappeal his firing and seekany of the $18 million buy-out that was part of his con-tract. His agent, RussCampbell, sent an email toathletic director Jeff Longlate Thursday sayingPetrino had accepted“responsibility for theevents that led to the uni-versity’s decision to termi-nate his contract.”“Coach Petrino and his

family wish nothing but thebest for both the Razorbackfootball program andUniversity of Arkansas,”Campbell wrote.Petrino had the option to

appeal as part of the seven-year contract he agreed toin December 2010. The con-tract was for more than$3.5 million annually andcarried the $18 millionmutual buyout clause in2011 and 2012. The amountdropped over the life of thecontract, falling to as little

as $3.9 million in 2017.Long said that Petrino

was fired for cause, mean-ing the coach was not owedanything.The 51-year-old Petrino

was fired Tuesday for fail-ing to disclose his relation-ship with Dorrell before shewas hired, as required byconflict of interest rules atthe school. The affairbecame public only afterthe two went for a motorcy-cle ride April 1 and skiddedoff the road, putting Petrinoin the hospital and result-ing in a police report thatcontained her identity.Long has said the two

were in a relationship for a“significant” amount of timeand phone records showthey exchanged more than4,300 text messages andnearly 300 phone calls overthe past seven months, pos-sibly including photo andvideo content.The termination letter

Long sent to Petrino wasreleased by the schoolFriday and it had morespecifics.“(Y)ou deliberately failed

to tell me that you hadengaged in an extramaritalaffair with Ms. Dorrell overa period of several monthsleading up to your recom-mendation to hire her,”Long wrote. “If you hadbeen forthcoming with meabout the true nature ofyour relationship, I wouldnot have approved the hir-ing.”Long also said Petrino

“admitting giving $20,000cash to Ms. Dorrell as a‘gift.’ Ms. Dorrell used themoney to purchase a blackAcura during the first weekthat she worked for thefootball program.“Among other concerns

relating to this ‘gift,’ youshould have disclosed thisfact to me … but you failedto do so,” Long wrote.
