DELPHOS — In response
to a resident’s address to city
council this week, the governing
body is considering a city-wide
cleanup day.
The resident expressed
concern over properties that
are in disrepair. A respective
lawn may be trashed with lit-
ter, garbage and/or inoperable
vehicles. In many cases, the
grass is not mowed until the
city sends a letter requesting the possible but the city is limited to
work be performed. Often, it’s
mowed but not mowed again
until another letter is sent. This all violators have to be notified.
dance displays itself as a peren-
nial pattern that springs around
this time of year.
Safety Service Director Greg
Berquist is also the zoning offi- many days to respond depend-
cer; he said he gets busy polic-
“Delphos is an old commu-
nity. We have a lot of proper-
ties that are 100 years old and
older that are in constant need of
repair. We do what we can from
the city’s point of view; we send
out zoning letters and warnings
and have taken several property
owners to court. They end up
with a minor misdemeanor fine
and, in many cases, continue to
do it again. It may be trash or
junk cars but not mowing their
grass is the big one and this is the
time of year when this becomes
a problem,” Berquist said.
“This is enforced as much as
what our ordinances allow us to
do. There is a process by which
One scenario would be that I
get a complaint, document it,
send a notice by certified mail
or a police officer, they get so
ing on the violation and at the
end of the duration, I investigate
to see if the problem has been
resolved. If not, we’ll send a
second notice. If grass needing
mowed is the issue, we’ll sched-
ule for the parks people to mow
it on their schedule and bill the
property owner.”
Berquist said most cities
have this issue but the bigger the
community, the more properties
degenerate.
“We have about a dozen of
these properties. For example,
with one particular property
owner, he had a pile of trash bags
covered in snow that nobody
knew was there until the snow
finally melted. We sent a letter
and it got picked up. We tell him
to mow and he mows. The grass
grows tall again, we tell him to
mow and he mows. We tell him
to pick up the trash and he picks
it up,” he said. “We deal with it
on a case-by-case basis but we
can only do so much and we
can only address the outside; the
health department has jurisdic-
tion over the inside.”
This two-step goes back and

Amid the panic in the Tokyo
region, nuclear workers were
still struggling to regain control
of the hobbled and overheated
Fukushima Dai-ichi plant 140
miles (220 kilometers) north of
the capital.
The plant has been leak-
ing radiation since a March 11
quake and tsunami knocked
out its crucial cooling systems,
leading to explosions and
fires in four of its six reac-
tors. After setbacks and wor-
rying black smoke forced an
evacuation, workers were back
inside today, said Hidehiko
Nishiyama of the Nuclear and
Industrial Safety Agency.
Government spokesman
Yukio Edano sought to allay
fears over the tap water read-
ings.
“We ask people to respond
calmly,” he said at a briefing
today. “The Tokyo metropoli-
tan government is doing its
best.”
Households with infants
will get three half-liter bottles
of water for each baby — a
total of 240,000 bottles — city
officials said, begging Tokyo
residents to buy only what
include some overlap.
Hundreds of thousands
remain homeless, squeezed
into temporary shelters without
heat, warm food or medicine
and no idea what to call home
after the colossal wave swal-
lowed up communities along
the coast and dozens of strong
aftershocks continued to shake
the nation.
Fears about food safety
began to spread overseas as
radiation seeped into raw milk,
seawater and 11 kinds of veg-
etables, including broccoli,
cauliflower and turnips, grown
in areas around the plant.
About In 25 miles (40
kilometers) northwest of the
Fukushima nuclear plant, lev-
els for one locally grown leafy
green measured 82 times the
government limit for radioac-
tive cesium and 11 times the
limit for iodine.
The U.S. and Australia said
they were halting imports of
Japanese dairy and produce
from the region; Hong Kong
said it would require that Japan
perform safety checks on meat,
eggs and seafood, and Canada
said it would upgrade controls
on imports of Japanese food
products by requiring docu-
ments verifying their safety.

Arab countries on the
sidelines of Libya issue
By RICHARD LARDNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — As
America’s NATO allies
shoulder a greater share of
the air war in Libya, the Arab
countries that urged the U.N.
Security Council to impose a
no-fly zone are missing from
the action.
Except for the small
Persian Gulf nation of Qatar,
which is expected to start fly-
ing air patrols over Libya by
this weekend, no other mem-
bers of the 22-member Arab
League have so far publicly
committed to taking an active
role. The U.S. has sold many
of these countries, including
Saudi Arabia and the United
Arab Emirates, billions of dol-
lars in sophisticated military
gear over the past decade to
help counter Iran’s power in
the region.
Nearly a week into the cam-
paign to prevent Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi’s forces
from attacking civilians, the
United States increased the
pressure on its NATO allies
to take command of the cam-
paign, suggesting the U.S.
might even step away from
its leadership role in a few
days, even with the conflict’s
outcome in doubt.
Despite the threat, officials
said there was no absolute

Big political challenges greet Obama
By BEN FELLER and
ERICA WERNER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — late Wednesday afternoon that
Returning home to some
messy politics, President
Barack Obama must contend
with a battery of challenges,
from a spending standoff that
threatens to shut down the
government to congressional
angst over the U.S.-led war
against Libya. Foreign crises
rage across Africa and the
Middle East, and Americans
still want a more quickly
improving economy.
The president left behind
a wave of goodwill in Latin
America as he shored up alli-
ances that the White House
said would prove pivotal for
years to come. Yet the timing
made for political and logisti-
cal headaches, as his five-day
trip to Brazil, Chile and El
Salvador took place just as
the U.S. and allies launched
a U.N.-sanctioned assault
against Moammar Gadhafi’s
menacing regime.
Now lawmakers are ques-
tioning the costs and objective
of the military action while
voicing growing frustration
that Obama didn’t consult
with Congress more thorough-
ly before authorizing the U.S.
airstrikes. Sen. John Cornyn,

New census milestone: Hispanics to hit 50 million
By HOPE YEN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a
surprising show of growth,
Hispanics accounted for more
than half of the U.S. popu-
lation increase over the last
decade, exceeding estimates
in most states. Pulled by
migration to the Sun Belt,
America’s population center
edged westward on a historic
path to leave the Midwest.
The Census Bureau today
will release its first set of
national-level findings from
the 2010 count on race and
migration, detailing a decade
in which rapid minor-
ity growth, aging whites and
increased suburbanization
were the predominant story
lines. Geographers estimate
that the nation’s population
center will move southwest
about 30 miles and be placed
in or near the village of Plato
in Texas County, Mo.
“There is excitement,” said
Brad Gentry, 48, of Houston,
Mo., who publishes the weekly
paper in Texas County, noting
that the U.S. population cen-
ter typically carries symbolic
meaning as the nation’s heart-
land. “It is putting a spotlight
on a corner of the world that

line control to other countries,
or for an end to all U.S. partic-
ipation. Still, with the costs of
the campaign growing by the
day and members of Congress
raising complaints over the
goals in Libya, the Obama
administration wants its allies
to take the lead role soon.
Defense Secretary Robert
Gates, an early skeptic of
American military interven-
tion in Libya, said President
Barack Obama made clear
from the start of the campaign
last Saturday that the U.S.
would run it for only about
a week. In an exchange with
reporters traveling with him
in Cairo on Wednesday, Gates
was asked if his comments
meant the U.S. had set a firm
deadline of this Saturday for
turning over command.
“I don’t want to be pinned
down that closely,” Gates
replied. “But what we’ve been
saying is that we would expect
this transition to the coalition,
to a different command and
control arrangement, to take
place within a few days and I
would still stand by that.”
An American Army gen-
eral now oversees the cam-
paign from Europe, and an
American Navy admiral is the
day-to-day commander from a
floating command post off the
Libyan coast.
While the question of over-
all command remains unset-
assert its constitutional role or
be a potted plant?”
No sooner had Obama
touched down on U.S. soil
House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, issued him a blis-
tering letter demanding more
details about the steps ahead
on Libya.
“I and many other
members of the House of
Representatives are troubled
that U.S. military resourc-
es were committed to war
without clearly defining for
the American people, the
Congress and our troops
what the mission in Libya is
and what America’s role is
in achieving that mission,”
Boehner said.
The criticism comes just
not from the right. Liberal
Rep. Dennis Kucinich,
D-Ohio, has said he intends to
offer legislation to block the
U.S. from funding military
actions in Libya. Moderate
Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., an
authoritative voice on military
issues as a former Navy secre-
tary, said the U.S. strategy
lacks clarity and the endpoint
is undefined.
Obama, in news confer-
ences from Santiago to San
Salvador, has been adamant in
saying the main U.S. military
role will be limited and front-
loaded as allies strive to keep
Gadhafi from killing those
seeking to oust him. Insisting
through this recognition.”
Racial and ethnic minori-
ties are expected to make up
an unprecedented 90 percent
of the total U.S. growth since
2000, due to immigration and
higher birth rates for Latinos.
Currently the fastest growing
group, Hispanics are on track
to exceed 50 million, or rough-
ly 1 in 6 Americans; among
U.S. children, Hispanics are
now roughly 1 in 4.
Based on a Pew Hispanic
Center analysis, the 2010
count of Hispanics was on
track to be 900,000 higher
than expected as their ranks
surpassed census estimates in
roughly 40 states. Many of
their biggest jumps were in
the South, including Alabama,
North Carolina and Louisiana,
where immigrants made large
inroads over the last decade.
Asians for the first time
had a larger numeric gain
than African-Americans, who
remained the second largest
minority group at roughly
37 million. Based on the
2010 census results released
by state so far, multiracial
Americans were on track to
increase by more than 25 per-
cent, to about roughly 8.7 mil-
lion.
The number of non-His-
panic whites, whose medi-
an age is now 41, edged
up slightly to 197 million.

tled, the Defense Department
on Wednesday released statis-
tics showing U.S. aircraft are
flying fewer missions than at
the beginning of the week.
Between Tuesday and
Wednesday, there were 175
air missions — including non-
combat flights — in the Libya
operation, according to the
department’s figures. Of that
total, 65 percent were flown
by U.S. planes and 35 percent
were flown by allied aircraft.
Three days earlier, the U.S.
made 87 percent of the flights
compared with 13 percent by
allied aircraft.
But when, or if, any Arab
League members besides Qatar
will participate is unclear.
On March 12, the Arab
League called for the no-
fly zone over Libya, saying
Gadhafi’s government had
“lost its sovereignty. Yet since
then, Arab League Secretary-
General Amr Moussa has said
the air war has caused civilian
deaths and gone beyond what
the league had backed.
On Tuesday, two Qatar Air
Force fighter jets and a cargo
jet flew to a Greek air base on
the island of Crete, en route
to helping enforce the no-fly
zone. Navy Adm. Samuel
J. Locklear, the day-to-day
commander, said he expected
Qatar’s aircraft to “be up and
flying in the coalition by the
weekend.”
the U.S. will soon play a
supporting role, Obama told
Univision, “The exit strategy
will be executed this week.”
Obama will have more
opportunities in the coming
days to speak about the fast-
changing Libya conflict, if he
chooses. No specific address
to the nation is planned.
The military challenge
comes as the threat of a govern-
ment shutdown looms again.
Federal operations are
churning along on another
temporary spending bill, this
one expiring April 8. That
means Obama has just over
two weeks to help broker a
deal to keep the government
running for the six months
left in the fiscal year. House
Republicans don’t want to
budge from the $61 billion in
steep cuts they’ve approved,
but that won’t fly in the Senate
and Obama has threatened to
veto it, leaving the path to
compromise unclear.
“I can’t remember a more
action-packed agenda, with
two major, urgent items at the
top of the list,” said Norman
Ornstein, who studies
Congress and politics at the
American Enterprise Institute.
“Libya, of course, but with
the added twist of harsh criti-
cism of the president’s failure
to bring in Congress. And the
budget battle, which I believe
is much more likely than not
to lead to a shutdown.”
their share of the total U.S.
population dropped over the
last decade from 69 percent to
roughly 64 percent.
“This really is a trans-
formational decade for the
nation,” said William H. Frey,
a demographer at Brookings
Institution who has analyzed
most of the 2010 data. “The
2010 census shows vividly
how these new minorities
are both leading growth in
the nation’s most dynamic
regions and stemming decline
in others.”
“They will form the bulk
of our labor-force growth in
the next decade as they con-
tinue to disperse into larger
parts of the country,” he said.
The final figures come as
states in the coming months
engage in the contentious
process of redrawing politi-
cal districts based on popula-
tion and racial makeup, with
changes that analysts believe
will result in more Hispanic-
majority districts.
The population changes
will result in a shift of 12
House seats and electoral
votes affecting 18 states begin-

The title of Dr. Kent
Young’s book alone may
intimidate some prospective
readers. Psyneumatics is a
book and word most people
probably have never heard
of before. I never had until
I picked it up. I am so glad
I did.
Dr. Young, who received
the Master of Divinity
from Evangelical School
of Theology in 1980, and
the Doctor of Ministry from
Fuller Theological Seminary
in 1986, has been both a pas-
tor and counselor; currently
he is a college instructor in
Ft. Wayne. With this book,
Young proposes his own the-
ory of humankind as he clar-
ifies aspects of personality
including specific thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors peo-
ple like you and me univer-
sally exhibit.
Psyneumatics integrates
both psychology and theol-
ogy and also serves as an
overall anthropology. That’s
a lot of “ologies.” While the
highly elevated academic
writing style (it reminded me
of many of the readings we
did in graduate school) might
be a bit daunting for those
not as familiar with books
of this nature, I urge you to
give it a try. I have person-
ally tended to shy away from
“religious” writings in gener-
al, finding most of them too
aggressively didactic and a
turn-off because of that. This

COMMUNITY
with Sara Berelsman
Psyneumatics
is a book that is not telling
anyone how to think, feel,
or live. It is more accurately
hypothesizing with some
psychological theory (which
I’m already interested in)
and combining that with bib-
lical teachings (which I’ve
admittedly shied away from)
and applying the whole thing
to humanity. What inspired
me about this book is that
it breaks everything down
in ways I’d not seen before.
I’d never read anything that
combined Christianity and
psychology, for one thing,
which I find immensely
intriguing, and I’d never
read anything “Christian,”
period, that I didn’t feel was
someone else’s agenda being
shoved down my throat.
This book is non-threaten-
ing and approachable. I use
“approachable” over “acces-
sible” because I felt that,
much of the time, the book
was speaking to me, not that
I was reading the book – if
that makes sense.
The first few chapters of
the book are what Dr. Young
calls more “tedious,” as they
essentially set up the frame-
work for the last part of the
book. It is quite dense in
terms of the amount of infor-
mation it holds on a page;
there are also various charts
peppered throughout the
writing to further illustrate
the written points. For me, as
someone who has not exten-
mozzarella. Sprinkle with
parmesan cheese. Bake,
uncovered, at 350 degrees
for 25-30 minutes or until
bubbly. Let stand for 10-15
minutes before serving.
Cinnamon Toasties
8 slices bread
1/4 cup reduced-fat
cream cheese
Refrigerated butter-fla-
vored spray
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground
cinnamon
Flatten bread with a
rolling pin. Spread the
cream cheese on four of
the slices; top with the
remaining four slices of
bread. Cut each into four
squares. Spritz both sides
with butter-flavored spray.
In a small bowl, combine
the sugar and cinnamon;
add bread squares and turn
to coat both sides. Place
on an ungreased baking
sheet. Bake at 350 degrees
for 8-10 minutes or until
puffed and golden. Serve
immediately.

Chapter four talks of love,

this chapter that I, as Oprah
would say, had an “Aha!”
moment. This chapter really
spoke to me and made a lot
of sense, and also seemed to
tie everything in the previous
chapters together.
I feel as if Psyneumatics
provided me with an epiph-
any of sorts – one that I’m
still sorting out upon com-
pletion of the book, espe-
cially since I’ve been able to
sit down with the author and
talk about what I’ve read.
I’ve been looking at the idea
of God and Christianity, and
as it ties into psychology,
in a new, exhilarating, and
refreshing light. It has stimu-
lated my thinking more than
anything else I’ve read in a
long time and perhaps has
awakened something latent
in my soul. It affected me
not only on an intellectual
level, but in an emotional-
ly visceral way at the same
time, provoking introspection
and questions that I’ve been
pondering long after I closed
the book. This book doesn’t
claim to set out to change
people’s lives. But it will. It
did mine. H.G. Violet Equipment

Bluffton thumps Polar Bears
13-3 at Ohio Northern
By Mallory Kemper
Sports information intern
ADA — The Bluffton
University baseball team plated
runs in four innings, including a
5-run eighth and a 4-run sixth,
as the Beavers beat the Polar
Bears 13-3 at Ohio Northern’s
Wander Field Wednesday.
Bluffton improved to 7-7,
while ONU slipped to 8-4 on
the season.
Bluffton put three runs on
the board in the first inning
starting with a Kyle Niermann
(Napoleon) double. Miles
Richardson’s (Granville/
Newark Catholic) bunt single
moved Niermann to third. With
runners at the corners, Nick
Broyles (Toledo/Whitmer)
singled down the right field
line, sending home Niermann
and Richardson. Freshman
catcher Tim Webb (Delaware/
Worthington Christian) knocked
in Broyles with an RBI single
for a 3-0 Bluffton lead.
In the sixth the Beavers put
up another four runs for a 7-1
lead. Airic Steagall (Hillsboro)
drew a leadoff walk and moved
to second on a Kyle Trainer
(Mechanicsburg) sacrifice
bunt before Niermann’s base
hit sent him home. Anthony
Cianci (Ravenna/Southeast) and
Richardson both walked, setting
the stage for a Broyles three-run
double to right field. Two ONU
scores in the bottom of the sixth
inning made the score 7-3.
In the eighth the Beavers
had three hits but scored five
runs thanks to a trio of walks
and a Polar Bear miscue. Ohio
Northern put up just three runs,
one in the fifth and two in the
sixth as Bluffton went on to win
13-3 over the Polar Bears.
Broyles went 3-of-6 at the
plate with five RBI. Niermann
finished 3-of-5 with 2 RBI and
two runs scored. Webb and
Cianci both knocked in two
runs for the Beavers.
Junior starter Miles
Richardson, who improved to
1-1 on the year, was superb
through six innings, giving up
only four hits and three runs, one
earned. Ryan Leugers (Botkins),
Nick Rodesky (Bowling Green)
and Ben Roeschley (Graymont,
IL/Flanagan) pitched the final
three shutout innings, allowing
only two hits.
Bluffton jumps right back
into action when the Beavers
travel to Mount St. Joseph
to open Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference action on
Friday. The contest is slated to
start at 5 p.m.

UConn, San Diego State
exceeding all expectations
The Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. —
Connecticut flew clear across
the continent for the next
round of the NCAA tourna-
ment. San Diego State hopped
in a bus and cruised 90 min-
utes up the interstate.
Huskies coach Jim Calhoun
and Aztecs coach Steve Fisher
have been doing this long
enough to realize miles don’t
matter at this point in the West
regional — not compared to
the distance both teams trav-
eled this season to reach this
unlikely stage.
Two surprisingly suc-
cessful schools with break-
out superstars and respected
bench bosses meet tonight at
the Honda Center, with the
winner moving to the brink of
the Final Four.
“It’s been a wonderful,
wonderful journey that we’ve
had,” Fisher said before
the Aztecs (34-2) practiced
Wednesday. “I knew we were
going to have a good team. I
didn’t know just how good we
would be.”
Fisher’s grateful senti-
ments mirrored the thoughts
of Calhoun, a friend for sev-
eral decades.
While second-seeded San
Diego State has won more
games and moved deeper into
the NCAA tournament than
any team in school history
behind star forward Kawhi
Leonard, UConn’s Hall of
Fame coach has been thrilled
by his freshman-laden line-
up’s growing maturity around
star guard Kemba Walker for
the Huskies (28-9), one of just
two Big East teams left.
Calhoun realizes both
teams are playing with house
money at this point but it
won’t stop the third-seeded
Huskies from pressing their
luck in an intriguing intersec-
tional matchup.
“I’m happy. Elated,”
the notoriously dour New
Englander deadpanned. “I
can’t tell you I wrote it down
because I usually try to write
where I think we’ll be at the
end of the season. ... They
have the most resilience of
any team I’ve ever coached.
We’re playing the best basket-
ball right now and everything
that could happen good, has
happened good.”
The cross-country element
of this matchup also intrigues
both teams with the chance
to face an opponent the play-
ers had scarcely thought about
before last weekend. While
UConn acknowledges it’s
peaking at the perfect time,
San Diego State has its best
chance yet to demonstrate its

NIT
Washington State 69,
Northwestern 66
PULLMAN, Wash. — Klay
Thompson hit a key jumper, made
two free throws and got two impor-
tant rebounds in overtime to help
Washington State beat Northwestern
69-66 on Wednesday night to
advance to the NIT semifinals at
Madison Square Garden.
Thompson scored 12 of his 17
points in the second half, include
getting four of the Cougars’ five in
the overtime. Washington State (22-
12) had five players finish in double
figures.
The Cougars will play Wichita
State, which beat College of
Charleston on Wednesday, in the
semifinals in New York on Tuesday.
Brock Motum added 13 points
and six rebounds for the Cougars,
while DeAngelo Casto, Reggie
Moore and Faisal Aden had 11
points each.
“We did a nice job battling a
tough Northwestern team tonight,”
Washington State coach Ken Bone
said. “We all showed a lot of char-
acter, especially down the stretch in
the overtime period.”
Michael Thompson scored 20
points for Northwestern (20-14) and
Alex Marcotullio added 16 points.
The Wildcats were 10 of 38 from
3-point range.
Washington State led 64-62 with
4 seconds remaining in regulation.
Casto was called for goaltending
a drive by John Shurna to tie the
game.
Northwestern fouled Washington
State’s Abe Lodwick with 0.2 sec-
onds remaining but he missed both
free throws.
Klay Thompson hit the first shot
in overtime and made two free
throws to give the Cougars a 68-66
lead with just over a minute to play.
Reggie Moore would make 1-of-2
from the line to give the Cougars a
69-66 lead.
“I thought we did a nice job
defensively defending the 3-pointers
and not getting back-doored,” Bone
said. “This is a very good shooting
team and they have a tough offense
to defend.”
Northwestern’s Michael
Thompson had two good looks at a
3-pointer but could not convert.
“I felt like we battled,”
Northwestern coach Bill Carmody
said. “The game went back and
season-long excellence against
a perennial power.
San Diego State has tal-
ent and experience around
Leonard but no significant his-
tory of success at Montezuma
Mesa. Aside from two losses
to BYU, the Aztecs have been
perfect, obliterating the school
record for victories while
reaching the round of 16 for
the first time.
UConn was picked 10th in
the preseason Big East coach-
es’ poll, with most figuring the
young Huskies would need a
year to grow around Walker,
who’s wrapping up the high-
est-scoring single season in
school history. Instead, the
Huskies have matured into a
force, winning seven straight
games in a 12-day span to
reach this point.
Both teams’ top defenders
also share a curiosity about
the superstar lining up against
them, somebody they’ve
only seen on highlight reels,
if at all. They couldn’t be
much more dissimilar, with
the 6-foot Walker’s speedy
perimeter game and the 6-7
Leonard’s rangy power.
Calhoun isn’t sure how to
contain Leonard, pronouncing
him a better pro prospect than
BYU’s Jimmer Fredette.
San Diego State couldn’t
stop Fredette in both its losses
to BYU, or even in the Aztecs’
victory over the Cougars in the
Mountain West tournament
final. Walker shoots fewer
3-pointers than Fredette but
plays a mid-range game that
Aztecs senior D.J. Gay says is
“pretty close to perfect.”
While the Huskies have
more history, the current
Aztecs have more experience.
Three of UConn’s top five
scorers are freshmen, while
San Diego State has three
seniors — including Gay, the
former star at nearby Long
Beach Poly High School —
backing Leonard, who’s from
Riverside.
Although the Huskies are
young, they arrived at UConn
expecting to play for nation-
al prizes. Calhoun doesn’t
expect his youngsters to be
intimidated if they’re round-
ly outnumbered in Anaheim
by San Diego State fans who
made that short drive up the
interstate.
Williams boosting Wildcats with
late-game heroics: Derrick Williams
felt the contact and himself going down
at an awkward angle, so he flipped the
ball toward the basket and braced for
the fall. The ball somehow went in, he
made the free throw and Arizona had
sealed an NCAA tournament victory.
Two days before, Williams did it
at the other end of the court. Coming
off his man in the closing seconds,
he reached out and swatted away a
potential game-tying shot, preserving
Arizona’s first victory in its return to the
tournament.

after he was cited for marijuana
possession.
Wichita State 82, College of
Charleston 75
WICHITA, Kan. — As he exited
a loud locker room into a jubilant
hallway, Wichita State coach Gregg
Marshall greeted boosters, friends
and family by repeating three let-
ters: MSG.
Wichita State clinched a spot in
the NIT semifinals at Madison Square
Garden by holding off College of
Charleston 82-75 on Wednesday
night. The Shockers (27-8) were led
by seniors, Gabe Blair (16 points)
and J.T. Durley (14 points), playing
their final home game.
“A lot of emotions right now,”
Marshall said. “It was wonderful.”
The Shockers will play
Washington State, which beat
Northwestern in the quarterfinals, on
Tuesday at Madison Square Garden
in New York.
There were emotions for
Charleston (26-11) as well. The
Cougars trailed by 21 midway
through the second half but fought
back behind Andrew Goudelock,
who scored 23 of his 31 points after
halftime, including seven 3-point
shots.
“We tried,” Goudelock said. “We
fought hard. When we got down 10,
we thought we had a chance to steal
one. But we couldn’t do it.”
It appeared the Shockers were
cruising behind a balanced attack
that featured two other double-digit
scorers in Joe Ragland (12 points)
and Toure Murry (11).
After the first 15 minutes resulted
in a 19-19 score, Blair scored six
straight points and Graham Hatch
hit two 3-pointers during an 18-6
run to end the half. Even when the
Cougars tried to run down the clock
for the final shot, Murry stole the
ball from Goudelock near midcourt,
then passed ahead to Ragland for
a buzzer-beating layup that gave
Wichita State a 37-25 lead.
Charleston was 9-of-25 from the
floor and had one assist and 10
turnovers in the half.
“Boy, the fans here are something
and we got a little excited to start the
A 6-8 star when the game is on
the line, Williams has become the
Wildcats’ version of a closer and has
taken them further into the tournament
than anyone — including themselves
— thought was possible.
Williams had a knack for coming
through in the clutch during the regu-
lar season, often by becoming more
aggressive in the second half when-
ever he had a quiet first or the game
was close.
The Pac-10’s player of the year
had his — and his team’s signature
moment — late in the season, when,
with the Wildcats up one against
Washington, he swooped across the
lane and windmilled Darnell Gant’s
shot into the student section in the
closing seconds.
He added a little panache by tip-
ping the ensuing inbound pass away to
secure the victory, then found himself
at the bottom of a pile of Wildcats at
midcourt.
Plays such as that helped Arizona
get back into the NCAA tournament
after having its 25-year run end the
previous season.
Williams then raised his big-play
game once the Wildcats got into the
tournament.
The first came in Arizona’s NCAA
opener against Memphis.
The Wildcats appeared to be in
control after Lamont Jones hit two
free throws to put them up with 7.4
seconds left but Memphis’ Wesley
Weatherspoon grabbed an offensive
rebound after teammate Joe Jackson
made one free throw and intention-
ally missed the second. Weatherspoon
immediately went back up for the shot
but didn’t see Williams who sent his
shot harmlessly thudding to the hard-
wood, along with Weatherspoon.
Inside the locker room, Arizona
guard Kevin Parrom hummed the
theme song to Superman in deference
to his teammate’s caped crusading on
the court.
In the NCAA’s third round on
Sunday, Williams struggled all day
against Texas’ long-armed front line,
unable to find any gaps or use his
power to get to the rim. Williams’ team-
mates picked up the slack to keep it
close, giving their closer another shot
to come through at the end.
Williams failed on one attempt on
a shot in the lane — he thought he
got fouled — but got a second chance
when Texas was called for 5-second
inbound violation along the baseline.
Arizona got the ball into Williams,
who put his head down and charged
toward the basket. He was bumped
hard by former AAU teammate Jordan
Hamilton and blindly flung the ball
toward the basket as he tried to lighten
the impact with the floor. The ball went
in and Williams hit the free throw, send-
ing Arizona to the next round.
Williams has fed Arizona back into
the NCAA’s round of 16 for a matchup
against defending national champion
Duke today in Anaheim, Calif.
Two of college basketball’s pre-
eminent programs, Duke and Arizona
met in the 2001 national title game,
which the Blue Devils won by 10.
Arizona went into a mini-tailspin
caused by Lute Olson’s leave of
absence then retirement, missing the
NCAA tournament for the first time in
26 years last season.
This would seem to be a matchup
of an established program against one
that’s rebuilding but the Wildcats aren’t
looking at it that way. Not with the his-
tory they’ve had.
Substance, not style, for Butler
and Wisconsin: Butler’s Matt Howard
took a stroll down Bourbon Street on
Tuesday night, experiencing a strip of
restaurants, bars and hangouts known
for lavish parties and excess.
The senior forward knew within
minutes that it wasn’t his type of place.
Too much flash. Too crazy.
Howard, much like the Bulldogs, is
more of a stoic, hardworking Midwestern
guy. And when eighth-seeded Butler
faces fourth-seeded Wisconsin in the
NCAA tournament regional semifinals
tonight, there will be a lot of that on the
floor at New Orleans Arena.
It’s worked for both programs.
Wisconsin has become one of the
most consistent teams in the country,
making its fifth run to the round of 16
in the past 11 seasons. Butler is in the
midst of a second straight deep run in
March that included a trip to the nation-
game,” coach Bobby Cremins said.
“We got away from our game and we
dug ourselves a hole.”
The Cougars tried to climb back
during the second half. Goudelock’s
3-pointer — his second from beyond
26 feet in four minutes — cut Wichita
State’s lead to 43-36 with 16:21
remaining.
Durley answered with a turn-
around jumper on the other end,
starting a 15-1 Wichita State run.
Blair scored four of those points
and David Kyles hit a 3-pointer that
sent the sellout crowd into a frenzy.
Wichita State made nine of its first
10 shots after halftime, extending its
lead to 58-37 on Aaron Ellis’ baby
hook with 12:30 remaining.
That’s when Goudelock told his
team, “Don’t get blown out.”
Instead, Goudelock started hit-
ting 3-pointers from everywhere
and his teammates joined in as the
Cougars went 11-of-20 from beyond
the arc in the second half.
“You don’t see a performance
like that very often,” Marshall said.
“That’s a special, special talent.”
Goudelock hit a deep 3-pointer,
then Antwaine Wiggins hit another
to cut Wichita State’s lead to 67-57
with 5:20 remaining. Less than two
minutes later, Donavan Monroe
scored five straight point to make it
69-62 with 3:33 to play.
“It was one of those deals where
the three zeros (on the clock) could
not get there fast enough,” Durley
said.
A 3-point play by Hatch and
clutch free-throw shooting — Wichita
State was 19-of-21 — helped the
Shockers hang on. When Blair
dunked in the final minute, the cel-
ebration was on.
Alabama 79, Miami 64
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —
Freshman guard Trevor Releford
scored 22 points to lead Alabama
to a 79-64 victory over Miami in
the quarterfinals of the NIT on
Wednesday night.
Senior Senario Hillman, play-
ing in his last game in Coleman
Coliseum where Alabama went a
school-record 19-0 this season,
scored 17 points and set a school
record with 175 career steals. Tony
Mitchell had 16 and JaMychal Green
added 14 for Alabama (24-11).
The Crimson Tide will play
Colorado in the semifinals in Madison
Square Garden on March 29. Green

al championship game last season,
where the Bulldogs lost to Duke.
Wisconsin (25-8) is the typical Big
Ten team, with a suffocating defense
and methodical offense that slowly
wears opponents down. That’s how the
Badgers were able to slip past Kansas
State in the second round with a 70-65
win, despite Jacob Pullen’s 38 points.
Jon Leuer led Wisconsin with 19
points in the game but it was sopho-
more Mike Bruesewitz who became the
poster child of the Badgers’ success.
The 6-6 forward scored 11 points and
grabbed six rebounds off the bench,
with his bright red, curly hair flying all
over the court.
After the game, Kansas State
coach Frank Martin pulled Bruesewitz
aside and asked if he had a brother he
could recruit.
Wisconsin’s methodical style has
occasionally been the target of jokes,
especially after the Badgers were
bounced by Penn State in the Big Ten
tournament by a 36-33 score.
But count Butler coach Brad
Stevens as a fan.
The Badgers might have met their
blue-collar match in Butler (25-9),
a team that has been opportunistic
and unflappable in narrow victories
over Old Dominion and top-seeded
Pittsburgh in the first two rounds of the
tournament.
Howard, a 6-8 senior, has been
at the center of both victories, hitting
a layup on a putback to beat Old
Dominion at the buzzer and then sink-
ing the winning free throw against Pitt
after a foul with less than a second
remaining.
It would be easy to say Butler’s
been lucky. But after a 2-year run of
unprecedented success, it’s obvious the
Bulldogs make their own luck. They’re
on an 11-game winning streak after los-
ing four out of five conference games in
late January and early February.
Butler may very well find itself in
a second-straight Final Four, which
would be an unprecedented accom-
plishment for a so-called mid-major
program.
Florida knows BYU is more than
just Fredette: Just like everyone else
in college basketball, Florida is quite
familiar with Jimmer-mania.
Jimmer Fredette’s production —
28.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.3
assists per game — is impossible to
ignore. If anything, BYU’s senior guard
is getting stronger, scoring at least 30
points in six of his last seven games.
But second-seeded Florida doesn’t
buy that third-seeded BYU will be a
1-man team when they meet in the
NCAA tournament regional semifinals
tonight in New Orleans.
The Gators know from experience.
BYU beat Florida 99-92 in double
overtime in a first-round game last
season. Fredette scored 37 points,
yet what really hurt the Gators was
a career-game from reserve guard
Michael Loyd Jr., who put in 26 points.
Now with a second chance,
Florida’s players say they have plenty
of respect for all of the Cougars —
even if it’s Fredette who is dominating
the highlights.
Florida is almost the antithesis of
BYU, with multiple seemingly anony-
mous options who can hurt opponents
during any given game. Four players
average at least 11 points and the
Gators often use a 10-man rotation.
Chandler Parsons, the SEC player
of the year, is maybe the best exam-
ple. The 6-9 senior is averaging 11.4
points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists,
can step out and hit 3-pointers, is a
solid defender and doesn’t make many
bad decisions.
But he’s nowhere near the super-
star that Fredette has become.
The 6-2 shooting specialist has a
well-deserved reputation as a nearly
unstoppable scorer. He’s shooting 45.5
percent from the field and 40.6 from
3-point range despite constant double
teams but has also proven capable at
creating for others.
He’s an unassuming superstar,
with an easy laugh that keeps team-
mates loose and a surprisingly small
ego for such a prolific scorer.
In BYU’s locker room on
Wednesday, Fredette was surrounded
by more than 15 reporters while most
of the other players sat around eating
lunch in relative silence. The other
Cougars are used to the attention
Jimmer-mania commands.
Scott Durand had 19 points,
Reggie Johnson had 14 points and
seven rebounds and DeQuan Jones
added 12 points for Miami (21-15).
Alabama led by as many as 14
points in the first half, then withstood
a Miami rally early in the second half
before pulling away to the victory.
The Crimson Tide took a 17-6
lead and extended it 24-10 on a
layup by Hillman with 11:02 left in
then first half. Miami went on a 12-6
run to make it 30-22 when Malcolm
Grant made a 3-pointer with 4:23
left. The Crimson Tide responded by
scoring six of the next 10 points to
lead 36-26 at halftime.
“Our advantage was our speed
and quickness and that turned out
to be very effective,” said Alabama
coach Anthony Grant, a Miami
native. “I thought we had success
attacking them in transition.”
The Hurricanes opened the sec-
ond half with a 15-6 run to pull
within 42-41 on a fast-break layup
by DeQuan Jones with 14:15 to play.
Alabama outscored Miami 33-16 to
push the lead to 75-57, matching its
largest of the game, when Releford
made a free throw with 2:09 to go.

Boise State’s late comeback
attempt for a 79-71 victory in the
tournament’s semifinals.
Catron, who has had double-
doubles in all three of Oregon’s CBI
games, scored 14 of the Ducks’ final
16 points.
“I’m pretty happy,” Catron said.
“We’re out there still battling to the
end and hopefully we can finish this
the right way.”
The victory puts the Ducks (19-
17) into the best-of-3 championship

first-year Oregon coach Dana Altman
left last spring after 16 seasons and
13 postseason appearances.
The opening game is scheduled
for Monday at the Qwest Center
in Omaha, Neb., with Game 2 on
Wednesday in Eugene and, if nec-
essary, Game 3 on Friday, also in
Eugene.
“It’s going to be a little awkward,”
Altman admitted. “But we’ll go play a
basketball game and I hope the guys
will play hard and do a good job. It will
be different. ... There’s some people
disappointed that I left. I’m sure there
are a lot of people glad that I left.”

make it 38-27.
The Ducks built their first-half lead
from 3-point range, making 8-of-16
from there in the first 20 minutes.
Singler led the way, scoring 13 in the
first half with three 3-pointers.
After Teondre Williams put the
Ducks up 17-13 with a 3-pointer,
Singler scored the next 11 points as
Oregon’s lead grew to 28-19 with
4:42 to play before halftime.
“Joevan is always double-teamed
when we get him the ball so I just
made myself available,” Singler said.
“He saw me a couple of times out of
doubles and I hit my shots.”

E.J. Singler added 18 points for
the Ducks, who made eight 3-point-
ers in the first half and then went
8-of-10 from the free-throw line late
to hold on after the Broncos (22-13)
had cut a 20-point deficit to six with
1:21 to play.
Reggie Arnold led Boise State
with 24 points and Tre Nichols had
16 points on 6-of-11 shooting in the
second half.
The Ducks led 50-30 with 15:10
to play and were on the verge of
running away with the game. But the
Broncos rallied, slowly picking away
at Oregon’s advantage until La’Shard
Anderson scored on a layup and then
a three-point play to make it 74-68

But Catron twice broke free of

Wave of pro-life bills advance in states

By DAVID CRARY
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Dozens of bills are advanc-
ing through statehouses nationwide that would put
an array of new obstacles — legal, financial and
psychological — in the paths of women seeking
abortions.
The tactics vary: mandatory sonograms and
counseling, sweeping limits on insurance cover-
age, bans on abortions after 20 weeks of preg-
nancy.
Pro-life strategists such as Mary Spaulding
Balch of the National Right to Life Committee
have been scrambling to keep up with legislative
developments: “Until the bills get on the gover-
nors’ desks, it’s premature to claim victory. But
it’s moving faster than it has in previous years. ...
We’re very pleased with the progress thus far.”
In a number of states, lawmakers are consider-
ing bills that would ban elective abortions after
20 or 21 weeks of pregnancy. These measures
are modeled after a law approved last year in
Nebraska that was based on the disputed premise
that a fetus can feel pain after 20 weeks.
The Idaho Senate approved one such bill
Wednesday, sending it to the House, while a simi-
lar bill won final legislative approval in the Kansas
Senate. The same type of measure is pending in
Oklahoma and Alabama.
In Ohio, there’s been a hearing on an even
tougher measure that would outlaw abortions after
the first medically detectable heartbeat — as early
as six weeks into a pregnancy. At that hearing,
two pregnant women underwent ultrasounds so
lawmakers could see and hear the fetal hearts.
The Ohio bill and the bans on abortions after
20 weeks are direct challenges to the legal status
quo, based on Supreme Court rulings that permit
abortions up to the point of a fetus’ viability —
approximately 24 weeks — and allow states to
impose restrictions for abortions after that stage.
In Texas, a bill passed by the House would
require that pregnant women have an opportunity
to view a sonogram image, hear the fetal heartbeat
and listen to a doctor describe the fetus. While the
doctor would be obligated to provide the informa-
tion, the woman could close her eyes or cover her
ears, according to the bill, which doesn’t exempt
victims of rape or incest.
In more than 20 states, bills have been intro-
duced to restrict insurance coverage of abortion. In
Utah, one such measures — affecting both private
and public plans — has cleared both legislative
chambers and been sent to Gov. Gary Herbert.
Of the various types of bills, the insurance bans
could have the broadest impact, according to some
abortion-rights activists.
Florida is a prime battleground. With a new
Republican governor, Rick Scott, who touts his
pro-life beliefs, conservative lawmakers have
introduced at least 18 bills on the topic — includ-
ing proposals to require ultrasound and to ban
most insurance coverage of abortion.
A different tactic is being tried in Virginia,
where lawmakers last month passed a bill requir-
ing abortion clinics to be regulated on the same
basis as hospitals. Abortion-rights group said this
could entail higher costs and force several clinics
to close.
Many of the states where pro-life bills are
advancing have new Republican governors who
made campaign pledges to support such efforts.
For example, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback
urged legislators to create a “culture of life” and
is considered likely to sign the pending bill that
would tighten restrictions on abortion after the 21st
week of pregnancy.
The sponsor of the Idaho bill to impose a
similar ban after 20 weeks, Sen. Chuck Winder,
summoned out-of-state medical and legal experts
to tell colleagues that a fetus at that point will suf-
fer pain during an abortion. It’s a disputed asser-
tion; the American Congress of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists says it knows of no legitimate evi-
dence showing a fetus can ever experience pain.
Thus far, the year-old Nebraska law banning
most abortions after 20 weeks has not been chal-
lenged in court. That has emboldening abortion
foes to promote versions of it in other states this
year even though the nationwide norm is to allow
elective abortions up to roughly 24 weeks.
