Lipari Foods buys I&K
I&K Distributors of Delphos has been acquired by Warren,
Mich.-based food distributor Lipari Foods. A press release
from the latter company promotes the action as bringing
together two Midwest companies, creating efficiencies and a
stronger product portfolio for both companies customers.
It also indicates the acquisition continues Liparis strategic
growth to be the leading perimeter of the store distributor. It
says I&Ks strong dairy case portfolio compliments Liparis
current category offerings, further strengthening its ability to
service both Liparis and I&Ks customers.
Lipari Foods President and Chief Executive Officer Thom
Lipari wrote that he sees the matter as a win for both compa-
nies.
I & K is a perfect fit since its go-to-market strategy and
basic philosophy on servicing the customer are very similar to
what we believe at Lipari Foods. Were excited about the new
opportunities this acquisition brings our company, as well as
our combined customer base, he wrote.
School ramps up
iPad initiative
BY NANCY SPENCER
nspencer@delphosherald.com
OTTOVILLE With
advances in technology mov-
ing at the speed of a keypad
stroke, educators are often
faced with the task of keep-
ing up their students cer-
tainly are.
With many students more
familiar with the newest tech-
nology than some of their
teachers, Ottoville Local
School District has used Race
to the Top and other funds to
provide cutting-edge instruc-
tion. The RttT funds have
also provided professional
development for teachers so
they can use iPads in their
classrooms.
During Wednesdays
school board meeting,
Technology Coordinator
Shelley Mumaw handed out
a draft of what will become
the districts policy and
procedures manual for stu-
dents who purchase an iPad.
Administrators from sever-
al Putnam County schools,
including Ottoville, have
met and are working togeth-
er so the manual is uniform
throughout the county.
We are all on a learn-
ing curve with this,
Superintendent and
Elementary Principal Scott
Mangas said. We just want
everyone in the county on the
same page so students and
parents cant say this school is
doing that and another school
is doing something else.
Ottovilles goal is for
every senior in the class of
2016 to leave with an iPad.
The cost for the tablet will
be significantly reduced for
students and can be added to
their book bills for the four
years in high school.

Dick Clark, TV and New
Years Eve icon, dies at 82
By LYNN ELBER
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES Dick
Clark stood as an avatar of
rock n roll virtu-
ally from its birth
and, until his death
Wednesday at
age 82, as a cul-
tural touchstone for
boomers and their
grandkids alike.
His identity as
the worlds oldest
teenager became
strained in recent
years, as time and
infirmity caught up with his
enduring boyishness. But
he owned New Years Eve
after four decades hosting
his annual telecast on ABC
from Times Square. And as
a producer and entertain-
ment entrepreneur, he was a
media titan: his Dick Clark
Productions supplied movies,
game shows, beauty contests
and more to TV, and, for a
time in the 1980s, he boasted
programs on all three net-
works.
Equally comfortable chat-
ting about music with Sam
Cooke or bantering with Ed
McMahon on TVs Bloopers
and Practical Jokes, Clark
was listed among the Forbes
400 of wealthiest Americans.
Clark, who died of a heart
attack Wednesday at a Santa
Monica hospital, also was
part of radio as partner in
the United Stations
Radio Network,
which provided pro-
grams including
Clarks to thou-
sands of stations.
Theres hardly
any segment of
the population that
doesnt see what I
do, Clark told The
Associated Press in
a 1985 interview. It
can be embarrassing. People
come up to me and say, I
love your show, and I have
no idea which one theyre
talking about.
One of his later TV proj-
ects, American Dreams,
served as a fitting weekly
tribute to Clarks impact.
Airing from 2002 to 2005,
this NBC drama centered
on a Philadelphia family in
the early 1960s and, in par-
ticular, on 15-year-old Meg,
who, through a quirk of fate,
found her way onto the set
of Clarks teen dance show,
American Bandstand.

16 defendants due in court
in Ohio Amish attacks
By THOMAS J.
SHEERAN
CLEVELAND Sixteen
Amish men and women face
arraignment today in federal
court on charges involved
in beard- and hair-cutting
attacks against fellow Amish
in Ohio.
An updated indictment
filed last month added new
allegations that the suspects
tried to hide or destroy evi-
dence, including a disposable
camera, shears and a bag of
hair from the victims.
The four women recently
added to the case are also
due to appear alongside the
original 12 defendants in fed-
eral court in Cleveland this
afternoon.
The dozen previous
defendants have pleaded not
guilty.
A feud over church disci-
pline allegedly led to attacks
in which the beards and hair
of men and hair of women
were cut, an act considered
deeply offensive in Amish
culture. The Amish believe
the Bible instructs women to
let their hair grow long and
men to grow beards and stop
shaving once they marry.
The updated indictment also
charges alleged ringleader Sam
Mullet Sr. with lying to federal
agents during their investiga-
tion by denying knowledge of
an October assault.
The new defendants,
Lovina Miller, Kathryn
Miller, Emma Miller and
Elizabeth Miller, are mem-
bers of the Amish community
in Bergholz in eastern Ohio
near Steubenville and are
married to some of Mullets
nephews, according to the
updated indictment filed in
late March.
The 10-count indictment
includes charges of conspir-
acy, assault and evidence
tampering in what prosecu-
tors said were hate crimes
motivated by religious dif-
ferences.
The new charges also
allege defendants used a
disposable camera bought
at Walmart to take pictures
of the victims, then hid the
camera from authorities until
eventually turning it over on
March 16.
Several members of the
group living in Bergholz
carried out the attacks in
September, October and
November by forcibly cutting
the beards and hair of Amish
men and women and then
taking photos to shame them,
authorities have said.
Mullet told The Associated
Press in October that he
didnt order the hair-cutting
but didnt stop his sons and
others from carrying it out.
He said the goal was to send a
message to other Amish that
they should be ashamed of
themselves for the way they
were treating Mullet and his
community.
Ohio has an estimated
Amish population of just
under 61,000 second only
to Pennsylvania with most
living in rural counties south
and east of Cleveland.
Today is Thursday, April
19, the 110th day of 2012.
There are 256 days left in the
year.

Dear EarthTalk: Are there health or
environmental concerns with LED light-
bulbs, which may soon replace compact
fluorescents as the green-friendly light
bulb of choice?
Mari-Louise, via e-mail
Indeed, LED (light emitting diode) light-
ing does seem to be the wave of the future
right now, given the mercury content and
light quality issues with the current king-
of-the-hill of green bulbs, the compact fluo-
rescent (CFL). LEDs use significantly less
energy than even CFLs, and do not contain
mercury. And they are becoming economi-
cally competitive with CFLs at the point
of purchase while yielding superior quality
lighting and energy bill savings down the
line.
But LEDs do have a dark side. A study
published in late 2010 in the journal
Environmental Science and Technology
found that LEDs contain lead, arsenic and
a dozen other potentially dangerous sub-
stances. LEDs are touted as the next genera-
tion of lighting, says Oladele Ogunseitan,
one of the researchers behind the study and
chair of the University of California (UC)-
Irvines Department of Population Health &
Disease Prevention. But as we try to find
better products that do not deplete energy
resources or contribute to global warming,
we have to be vigilant [about] toxicity haz-
ards.
Ogunseitan and other UC-Irvine
researchers tested several types of LEDs,
including those used as Christmas lights,
traffic lights, car headlights and brake
lights. What did they find? Some of the
worst offenders were low-intensity red
LEDs, which were found to contain up to
eight times the amount of lead, a known
neurotoxin, allowed by California state
law and which, according to researchers,
exhibit significant cancer and noncancer
potentials due to the high content of arse-
nic and lead. Meanwhile, white LEDs
contain the least lead, but still harbor large
amounts of nickel, another heavy metal
that causes allergic reactions in as many
as one in five of us upon exposure. And
the copper found in some LEDs can pose
an environmental threat if it accumulates
in rivers and lakes where it can poison
aquatic life.
Ogunseitan adds that while breaking
open a single LED and breathing in its
fumes wouldnt likely cause cancer, our
bodies hardly need more toxic substances
floating around, as the combined effects
could be a disease trigger. If any LEDs
break at home, Ogunseitan recommends
sweeping them up while wearing gloves
and a mask, and disposing of the debris
and even the broom as hazardous waste.
Furthermore, crews dispatched to clean up
car crashes or broken traffic lights (LEDs
are used extensively for automotive and
traffic lighting) should wear protective
clothing and handle material as hazardous
waste. LEDs are currently not considered
toxic by law and can be disposed of in
regular landfills.
According to Ogunseitan, LED makers
could easily reduce the concentrations of
heavy metals in their products or even rede-
sign them with truly safer materials, espe-
cially if state or federal regulators required
them to do so. Every day we dont have a
law that says you cannot replace an unsafe
product with another unsafe product, were
putting peoples lives at risk, he concludes.
And its a preventable risk.
Of course, we all need some kind of
lighting in our lives and, despite their flaws,
LEDs may still be the best choice regarding
light quality, energy use and environmental
footprint. That said, researchers are busy
at work on even newer lighting technolo-
gies that could render even todays green
choices obsolete.

Clark
(Continued from page 1)
Dreams depicted a musical revo-
lution, which Clark so reassur-
ingly helped usher in against the
backdrop of a nation in turmoil.
While never a hit, the series was
embraced by older viewers as a
warm souvenir of the era that
spawned Clark, and as an affec-
tionate history lesson for their
children and grandchildren.
President Barack Obama noted
the nostalgia. More important
than his groundbreaking achieve-
ments was the way he made us
feel as young and vibrant and
optimistic as he was, Obama said
in a statement.
Clark bridged the rebellious
new music scene and traditional
show business. He defended pop
artists and artistic freedom, the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame said
in an online biography of the 1993
inductee. He helped give black
artists their due by playing original
R&B recordings instead of cover
versions by white performers, and
he condemned censorship.
He joined American
Bandstand in 1956 after Bob
Horn, whod been the host since
its 1952 debut, was fired. A year
later, Clark integrated the show
with black dancers.
It still wasnt acceptable for
them to dance with white kids, so
the blacks just danced with each
other. We were waiting for the
explosion, but it never happened,
Clark told Pennsylvania Heritage
Magazine in 1998. The wonder-
ful part about our decision to inte-
grate then was that there were no
repercussions, no reverberations,
no battles at all it just happened
right there on a television screen
in front of millions of people.
Under Clarks guidance,
Bandstand went from a local
Philadelphia show to a national
phenomenon, introducing stars
from Buddy Holly to Madonna. It
was one of network TVs longest-
running series as part of ABCs
daytime lineup from 1957 to
1987.
As a host, Clark had the
smooth delivery of a seasoned
radio announcer. As a producer,
he had an ear for a hit record. He
also knew how to make wary
adults welcome this odd new
breed of music in their homes.
Clark endured accusations
that he was in with the squares,
with critic Lester Bangs defining
Bandstand as a leggily accept-
able euphemism of the teenage
experience. In the 1985 inter-
view, Clark acknowledged the
complaints. But I knew at the
time that if we didnt make the
presentation to the older genera-
tion palatable, it could kill it.
Clark suffered a stroke in 2004
that affected his ability to speak
and walk. That year, he missed
his annual appearance on Dick
Clarks New Years Rockin
Eve.
He returned the following year
and, although his speech at times
was difficult to understand, many
praised his bravery, including
other stroke victims.
Im just thankful Im still able
to enjoy this once-a-year treat,
he told The Associated Press by
email in December 2008 as anoth-
er New Years Eve approached.
Ryan Seacrest, who subse-
quently took over main hosting
duties on the countdown show
from Clark, said in a statement
Wednesday that he was deeply
saddened.
I idolized him from the start,
Seacrest said. He was a remark-
able host and businessman and
left a rich legacy to television
audiences around the world.
Record executive Clive Davis
called Clark a true pioneer who
revolutionized the way we lis-
tened to and consumed music. For
me he ranks right up there with
the giants of our business.
Friends on Wednesday
recalled a patient, encouraging
man. He was there for every
crisis of my life and there were
many, Connie Francis said in
statement. Without Dick Clark
there would have been no career
because I was ready to abandon it.
Dick was the most principled man
I ever met in this business and
treated everyone the same way,
even if you were the little guy.
Clark was honored at the
Emmy Awards in 2006, telling the
crowd: I have accomplished my
childhood dream, to be in show
business. Everybody should be so
lucky to have their dreams come
true. Ive been truly blessed.
He was born Richard Wagstaff
Clark in Mount Vernon, N.Y.,
in 1929. His father, Richard
Augustus Clark, was a sales man-
ager who worked in radio.
Clark idolized his athletic
older brother, Bradley, who was
killed in World War II. In his
1976 autobiography, Rock, Roll
& Remember, Clark recalled
how radio helped ease his loneli-
ness and turned him into a fan of
Steve Allen, Arthur Godfrey and
other popular hosts.
From Godfrey, he said, he
learned that a radio announcer
does not talk to those of you
out there in radio land; a radio
announcer talks to me as an indi-
vidual.
Clark began his career in the
mailroom of a Utica, N.Y., radio
station in 1945. By age 26, he
was a broadcasting veteran, with
nine years experience on radio
and TV stations in Syracuse and
Utica, N.Y., and Philadelphia. He
held a bachelors degree from
Syracuse University.
The shows status as an
American cultural institution was
solidified when Clark donated
Bandstands original podium
and backdrop to the Smithsonian
Institution.
Clark kept more than records
spinning with his Dick Clark
Productions. Its credits included the
Academy of Country Music and
Golden Globe awards; TV mov-
ies including the Emmy-winning
The Woman Who Willed a
Miracle (1984), the $25,000
Pyramid game show and the
1985 film Remo Williams: The
Adventure Begins. Clark himself
made a cameo on The Fresh
Prince of Bel-Air and a dramatic
appearance as a witness on the
original Perry Mason.
In 1974, at ABCs request,
Clark created the American Music
Awards after the network lost the
broadcast rights to the Grammy
Awards.
He was also an author,
with Dick Clarks American
Bandstand and such self-help
books as Dick Clarks Program
for Success in Your Business
and Personal Life and Looking
Great, Staying Young.
In 2004, Clark announced
plans for a revamped version
of American Bandstand. The
show, produced with American
Idol creator Simon Fuller, was to
feature a host other than Clark.
He was diagnosed with type
2 diabetes in 1994 and served
as spokesman for the American
Association of Diabetes
Educators.

WASHINGTON (AP)
The General Services
Administrations internal
watchdog said Wednesday
that employees are heeding
his call to report wrongdoing
and messages on his hotline
have triggered new investiga-
tions beyond an $823,000 Las
Vegas conference and junkets
to resorts.
I dont know what were
going to find but it has not
been pretty, Inspector General
Brian Miller told the Senate
Environment and Public
Works Committee.
Miller previously revealed
that GSA officials in Western
states went on taxpayer-financed
junkets to Hawaii, South Pacific
islands, Californias Napa
Valley and Palm Springs;
stayed in resort hotel suites,
and threw lavish parties. His
April 2 report detailed how four
Western regions partied at their
Las Vegas conference in 2010,
which featured a clown, a mind-
reader, a team-building exercise
to build bicycles and a rap video
making fun of the spending.
Miller previously said that
employees would not blow
the whistle on the miscon-
duct because they believed
they would be squashed like
a bug for doing so.
The result of the release
of the report is that people are
coming forward now, he said.
They are calling the (inspec-
tor generals) hotline.
The Democratic-led
Environment committee
struck a somewhat different
tone than two Republican-run
House hearings this week that
featured those who allowed
or participated in the miscon-
duct.
While the outrage over
GSA spending has been bipar-
tisan, the Senate panel only
summoned Miller and Acting
GSA Administrator Daniel
Tangherlini, the two officials
who are playing key roles in
changing the free-spending
culture at the GSA.
We got the two good guys
here, said Sen. James Inhofe,
R-Okla., his partys ranking
Republican on the committee.
In a dig at the House hear-
ings, Chairman Barbara Boxer
said, Were not looking for
photo ops of people taking the
Fifth. This was a reference
to the San Francisco-based
regional executive, Jeffrey
Neely, who hosted the Las
Vegas conference and went
on a number of trips after the
inspector general warned top
officials about his excessive
travel.
Neely asserted his right to
remain silent at one House
hearing and failed to appear at a
second. Miller has referred his
case to the Justice Department
for a criminal investigation
and said he made other crimi-
nal referrals.
Boxer, D-Calif., said the
committees goal is to make
sure we dont have a repeat
of this nightmare. She said
Miller and Tangherlini need-
ed to keep shaking this tree
and letting these bad apples
fall. This (Western) region
went wild on you. They went
rogue.
Tangherlini said hes mov-
ing to remove some of the
autonomy by the 11 GSA
regions that permitted the
Western regions to spend free-
ly without getting caught. The
inspector general only learned
of the misconduct after a GSA
official in Washington was
told about it and asked him to
investigate.

W A S H I N G T O N
Defense Secretary
Leon Panetta apologized
Wednesday for gruesome,
newly revealed photographs
that show U.S. soldiers
posing with the bloodied
remains of dead insurgents in
Afghanistan. He said war can
lead young troops to fool-
ish decisions and expressed
concern the photos could
incite fresh violence against
Americans.
The White House called
the two-year-old photos rep-
rehensible, joining Panetta
and other top military offi-
cials in expressing regret for
the latest in a string of embar-
rassing missteps by the U.S.
military in a war thats built
on earning the trust and con-
fidence of ordinary Afghans.
In recent months, American
troops have been caught up
in controversies over burning
Muslim holy books, urinating
on Afghan corpses, an alleged
massacre of 17 Afghan villag-
ers and other misdeeds.
This is war. I know that
war is ugly and its violent,
and I know that young peo-
ple sometimes caught up in
the moment make some very
foolish decisions, Panetta
said. I am not excusing that
behavior, but neither do I
want these images to bring
further injury to our people
or to our relationship with the
Afghan people.
My apology is on behalf
of the Department of Defense
and the U.S. government,
Panetta told a news confer-
ence in Brussels following
a meeting of NATO allies
at which the way ahead in
Afghanistan was the central
topic.
The photos were published
in Wednesdays Los Angeles
Times. One shows members
of the 82nd Airborne Division
posing in 2010 with Afghan
police holding the severed
legs of a suicide bomber. The
same platoon a few months
later was sent to investigate
the remains of three insur-
gents reported to have acci-
dentally blown themselves up
and soldiers again posed
and mugged for a photo with
the remains, the newspaper
said.
A photo from the second
incident appears to show the
hand of a dead insurgent rest-
ing on a U.S. soldiers shoul-
der as the soldier smiles.
Panetta said he had urged
the newspaper not to publish
the photos, which it said it
were given by a member of
the 82nd Airborne.
The reason for that is
those kinds of photos are used
by the enemy to incite vio-
lence, and lives have been lost
by the publication of similar
photos in the past, he said in
Brussels. His British counter-
part, Philip Hammond, said
he regretted the besmirch-
ing of the good name of
all coalition troops who act
properly.
There was no evidence of
a violent Afghan backlash in
the first hours following the
photographs publication.
In fact, there was no
immediate comment from
the Afghan government or
President Hamid Karzais
office, and many officials said
they were not aware of the
pictures, which were taken
in Zabul province. The gov-
ernor of the province, Ashraf
Nasary, said he could not
comment because he did not
know about the incident or
who was involved.
Mark Jacobson, an inter-
national affairs expert at the
German Marshall Fund and a
former deputy NATO senior
civilian representative in
Afghanistan, said the picture-
taking incident appeared to
reflect a failure of military
leadership.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Their battle joined, chal-
lenger Mitt Romney savaged
President Barack Obamas
handling of the economy on
Wednesday while the com-
mander in chief commiser-
ated up close with victims
of the recession and warned
that Republicans would only
make matters worse.
Obamas campaign was
airing Spanish language radio
ads in Orlando, Fla., Las
Vegas and Denver all in
states that the president won
four years ago and that figure
to be fiercely contested in the
fall.
From Ohio, Obama hop-
scotched to Michigan for two
fundraisers, the first a recep-
tion at Dearborns Henry Ford
Museum, where Romney in
2007 launched his unsuccess-
ful bid for the 2008 GOP
presidential nomination.
Speaking in a museum
named for the founder of Ford
Motor Co., Obama got some
of his biggest cheers when
he highlighted his adminis-
trations efforts to rescue the
American auto industry. Later,
at a private dinner fundraiser
in Bingham Farms, he said
that the industrys recovery
didnt just help Michigan, it
helped to give America a
vision of what we could be.
Polls consistently show
the economy is the top issue
for the nations voters, who
will decide whether to accept
Romneys indictment or
Obamas reassurances. Given
recent trends, each man has a
case to make.
In Ohio, joblessness was
9.1 percent in February 2009,
shortly after Obama took
office. It stood at 7.6 last
month.
In North Carolina, jobless-
ness was 9.5 percent then, and
stands at 9.9 now.
In Michigan, where
Obama was appearing late
Wednesday, it was 12.5 per-
cent in 2009 and is 8.8 per-
cent now.
In all three states, unem-
ployment rose in the months
immediately after Obama
took office as the recession
deepened and financial mar-
kets trembled.
Right now we have
two competing visions of
our future. And the choice
could not be clearer, said
Obama. He said he was sure
Republicans were patriots.
Im sure theyre sincere in
-- in terms of what they say.
But their theory, I believe, is
wrong.
Without mentioning
Romney by name, he said,
Instead of moderating their
views even slightly, you
now have Republicans in
Washington, the ones running
for president, proposing bud-
gets that shower the wealthi-
est Americans with even
more tax cuts, folks like me
who dont need them, werent
looking for them.
At the same time, Obama
sketched his case for re-
election in swing-state Ohio,
where he met with unem-
ployed workers who have
enrolled in job training pro-
grams. Then he spoke at the
Lorain County Community
College.
Right now, companies
cant find enough qualified
workers for the jobs they need
to fill locally, he said. So
programs like this one are
training hundreds of thou-
sands of workers with the
skills that companies are
looking for. And its work-
ing. By contrast, he said,
between the years 2000 and
2008, Republican policies
produced the slowest job
growth in half a century ...
and weve spent the last three
and a half years cleaning up
after that mess.
Campaign symbolism
counted for much on a day
that seems destined to be rep-
licated often in the six months
until Election Day.
The Republican challenger
delivered his scathing denun-
ciation of the presidents poli-
cies with the Bank of America
Stadium over his shoulder.
Aides dubbed his remarks a
pre-buttal to the presidents
own, and early-arriving parti-
sans heard a recorded medley
of rock music that included
Its Still the Same.

WASHINGTON Two
weeks after their bold prom-
ise, Saudi Arabia and other
wealthy Arab Gulf states
have yet to start distributing
money from a multimillion-
dollar fund designed to prop
up Syrias rebels and entice
defections from President
Bashar Assads army, Syrian
opposition members and
international officials say.
The cash program was out-
lined this month at a confer-
ence in Istanbul, where repre-
sentatives of the United States
and more than 60 other nations
met to strengthen Syrias
opposition and increase pres-
sure on the Assad regime.
Hoping to crack Assads sup-
port, Washington and its Arab
partners seized on the plan
as a path forward even as
they disagreed on the idea of
giving weapons to badly out-
gunned Syrian rebels.
But the funds implemen-
tation is already beset by
problems basically, how
to get the money there and
how to make sure it gets to the
right people. Theres no way
to monitor where the money
goes as the country veers
toward civil war. Because
the rebels hold no territory
and struggle even to main-
tain communications among
inside and outside Syria, there
is no clear way to deliver the
money.
The problems underscore
the larger problem to provid-
ing aid of any kind to the
Syrian rebellion. The Obama
administration recently signed
off on $12 million in enhanced
communications, medical and
other nonlethal assistance
to the opposition, but it is
unclear what goods are mak-
ing their way into Syria and
by what means.
Even recipients are large-
ly unknown, with American
officials themselves saying
they are still trying to get
to know Syrias armed and
political opposition better.
Other Arab and European
countries have made similar
pledges of aid that Syrians
say they havent seen five
days into a U.N.-brokered
cease-fire that was supposed
to allow greater humanitar-
ian and other relief to enter
the country. But Assads gov-
ernment has launched more
artillery attacks on opposition
strongholds, continuing a year
of violent repression that has
killed more than 9,000 people
and put into doubt interna-
tional aid hopes.
In an effort to ramp up the
pressure on Assad further,
France is convening a meet-
ing today of countries lead-
ing the call for the Syrian
leaders ouster. Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton and the
foreign ministers of Qatar and
Turkey are among invitees, a
French diplomatic source told
The Associated Press. But
no significant policy changes
are expected at the gathering,
according to officials with
knowledge of the planning.
The officials spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because they
were not authorized to discuss
the planning for the meeting.
Widespread international
skepticism over the feasibility
of a cease-fire with Assad is
fueling the debate for how to
help the rebels better defend
themselves. Up to now, it
doesnt appear that any gov-
ernments are arming the oppo-
sition significantly and the U.S.
remains firmly opposed, fear-
ful that further militarization of
the conflict could cause more
violence and more deaths with-
out necessarily accelerating
Assads departure.
The Saudis and other Gulf
states have a history of prom-
ising lavish aid packages to
other Arab populations, in par-
ticular the Palestinians, and not
always delivering. The Arab
Gulf states are committed to
delivering the money to Syria,
a senior Arab official involved
in the planning insisted.

SENIOR LUNCHEON CAFE
Under the
Covers
With Sara Berelsman
I realize Im arriving at the
party late, but if you enjoyed
The Shack, (or plan on enjoy-
ing it) you might not appreci-
ate this review. I
did not enjoy it.
Hate is a strong
word, so I really
disliked it for sev-
eral reasons. So
if this were a real
party, I wouldnt
be sad to miss it.
This isnt the
type of book Id
normally pick up,
but it had been
recommended to
me by several peo-
ple who I consider
to be highly intel-
ligent, so I gave it a shot. I
almost didnt finish the book,
but I kept on, in hopes of it
getting better. It didnt.
What I was hoping for in
reading this book were some
answers to the universal
question we all ask, if God
is all-knowing and all-pow-
erful, then why is there so
much bad in the world? Why
do terrible things happen to
good, undeserving people?
This book not only doesnt
answer or even entertain
answering this, but instead it
talks in circles with horren-
dous, hokey dialogue, while
simultaneously painting a
picture of the characters of
the Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost as rather depressing
entities. Depressing because
of the way they speak, which
is indirectly, with flowery
language that, stripped down,
ultimately means nothing.
It feels as if the author was
trying to relay some aha-
moments to readers via what
are supposed to be deep
revelations but what, to me,
just felt like one big contrived
plot covered in unicorn dust
this author loves to be unnec-
essarily descriptive, using
cheesy descriptions at that;
if a Thomas Kincaid painting
could speak, this book would
be the result.
Mack is the main character
of the book, and
his daughter was
brutally murdered
years ago in an
isolated shack. He
gets a note from
God one day,
asking Mack to
revisit the shack
where his daugh-
ter was murdered,
and what suppos-
edly unfolds for
the next couple
hundred pages is
life-changing.
Mack meets the
Holy Trinity, who manifest
as a large, African-American
woman, a Middle-Eastern
man, and an Asian woman.
Mack spends the next few days
with them, listening to them
dispel the secrets of Gods
plan in between winking and
chuckling a lot. I was ready
to throw the book across the
room if I read about one more
person winking or chuckling.
As for helping Mack find
some peace surrounding the
death of his daughter? Well,
he seems to be cool with the
answers he gets. Im not. In
fact, Im insulted.
What I got out of this book
is that God likes to cook.
Jesus is clumsy and the Holy
Spirit is annoying.
A lot of people seem to
love this book and get a lot
out of it, so dont let one
negative reviewer rain on
your hope parade for this one.
Although, I had high hopes
for it, too. I know that none of
us really knows the answer of
why bad things happen in the
world, but then I felt that this
book shouldnt claim to have
the answer. Ill be checking
out some C. S. Lewis now for
what will hopefully make me
feel a little better.

Jefferson senior Tony George gets congratulations from
assistant/first-base coach Clay Erman after his game-win-
ning hit Wednesday night. The host Wildcats rallied from
4 down in the bottom half of the seventh to escape with a
7-6 victory over Elida.

DELPHOS Play to the
last out.
For good or ill, Jefferson
and Elida found out that base-
ball maxim was true up close
and personal on a gorgeous
Wednesday night at Wildcat
Field in Delphos.
The visiting Bulldogs had
grabbed a 6-2 lead in the top
half only to see their defense
open the door for the host
Wildcats to score five and
seize a 7-6 non-league vic-
tory.
That kind of rally was just
what the doctor ordered for
Jefferson head man Doug
Geary.
Weve been looking for
that never-say-die attitude. We
had batting practice at 3 p.m.
and when we got here, several
had already taken cuts, he
explained. From that to tak-
ing care of the field pre-game,
we were ready to play from the
start. That is what weve been
looking for and I think the
guys are starting to buy into
that, of how we have to play
varsity baseball. We had some
big at-bats from not only our
starters but our bench players.
We needed to build momen-
tum from Mondays win over
Spencerville and we did.
For acting Elida head
coach Randy Prince (subbing
for Doug Grapner), it was the
same old, same old.
What you saw in that sev-
enth inning was our whole year
in a nutshell. We played 6 1/2
great innings and then gave it
away, Prince explained. We
have had that all year, one or
two innings where we make
too many mistakes in the field.
Give Jefferson credit for com-
ing back but we made it easier
for them.
Elida sophomore Max
Stambaugh (0-1; 6 1/3 innings
pitched, 7 hits, 7 runs, 2 earned,
2 bases-on-balls, 5 strikeouts;
105 pitches, 65 strikes) had
held down the Wildcats (7-10)
in his first varsity start, tak-
ing a 6-2 lead into the bottom
half, before the roof caved
in. Tony George (2-for-4) led
it off with a bloop to left
that fell between shortstop
Dalton Martz and leftfielder
David Diller for a single. Jeff
Schleeter hit a grounder that
was mishandled and pinch-
hitter Tyler Wrasman got
aboard as another grounder
was misplayed, loading the
bases. Austin Jettinghoff (2
runs scored) forced Wrasman
at second, with George scoring
to make it 6-3. Zavier Buzard
hit a bad-hop single into left
that plated Schleeter from
third and creep the Red and
White (7-10) within 6-4. An
out hence, an error on a strike-
out advanced both Jettinghoff
and Buzard; after a walk to
Curtis Miller, both of the for-
mer scored as Mike Joseph
greeted reliever David Diller
with a sharp single to left. He
and Miller advanced on a balk
and, after Justin Rode was
intentionally walked, Miller
scored courtesy of Georges
liner to center.
The Bulldogs (4-11)
broke a 2-2 tie in the top
half against the fifth Jefferson
hurler, Miller. Martz (2-for-3,
2 runs) walked and stole sec-
ond. He advanced on a wild
pitch. Mackenzie Hampshire
walked. With the infield
drawn in, Nickoli Sackinger
grounded to short but the
throw home was off-line to
get Martz, putting runners on
the corners with a 3-2 edge.
Sackinger and Adam Purdy
walked, ending Millers stint
on the mound for George. An
out hence, Jake Porter walked,
forcing home Hampshire.
Taylor Blys ground ball was
misplayed for an error, bring-
ing home Sackinger and Purdy
for a 6-2 edge. However, a
comebacker and a bounce-
out kept the damage to that,
launching the Wildcats last
at-bat heroics.
Elida left two runners on
base Hampshire on a single
and Sackinger on an error
with two down in the first.
Jettinghoff got aboard in
the home half courtesy of an
error but Elida turned a double
play.
The Bulldogs got the first
two runners on third and sec-
ond Diller on a single and
steal and Jesse Wheeler on
a walk, followed by an error
with one down but left
them there (10 for the game).
Miller doubled to open
the Delphos second and Zach
Kimmet was safe on an error.
Miller and pinch-runner Drew
Kortokrax stole the next base
but could get no farther.
Elida drew first blood in
the third against starter Joseph.
Martz chopped one to center
and took off as Hampshire
beat out a slow roller to short.
Hampshire was eliminated
on a Sackinger groundout,
advancing Martz to third, from
whence he scored on a stinger
to center by the lefty-swinging
Purdy for a 1-0 edge.
The hosts tied it in the
home half. With one down,
Jettinghoff lined a knock into
center, stole second, advanced
on Seth Wollenhaupts come-
backer and scored as Ross
Thompson grounded a single
into left.
After Bly drew a 1-out
walk in the fourth, Joseph was
relieved by Jordan Herron.
After Bly burgled second,
Stambaugh walked and, an out
later, Martz blooped a single
to short left, bringing in Zach
Ricker to pitch. Hampshire
drew a bases-loaded walk
to score Bly for a 2-1 edge
but Sackinger bounced out to
leave the bases juiced.
Stambaugh set down
the Jefferson side in order
the next two frames, as did
Ricker to Elida in the fifth and
Jettinghoff to the Bulldogs in
his one inning of relief, the
sixth.
Jefferson knotted it at 2-2
in the home half of the sixth.
Pinch-hitter Buzard walked
and Thompsons whacked a
hit into right; a poor throw to
the infield gave the runners a
chance to advance but an alert
Stambaugh threw out Buzard
at third. However, Thompson
was at second, from where
he scored an out hence as
Kimmett bounced a single just
beyond the grasp of Martz.
Geary was trying to play-
ing matchup pitching with his
staff.
Thats why I used so
many pitchers. One, I still
have hopes for the Northwest
Conference, he added. Two,
I wanted to match up by top-
line pitchers against their dan-
gerous top of the order and
then use some younger guys
against their other spots in the
order I felt werent as danger-
ous.
The loss ruined a great out-
ing by Stambaugh, in Princes
mind.
Hed pitch at the junior
varsity level but this was his
first varsity innings. He did
a great job but the defense
let him down, Prince added.
We allowed too many good
scoring opportunities go by the
wayside in the early innings.
That has also been a pattern
this season. We tend not to get
the needed hits in those situ-
ations. Jefferson visits Allen
East in NWC action tonight
and Elida visits Shawnee 5
p.m. Friday.

Hey, I was born a year after old-
timer Jamie Moyer!
The 49-year-old left-hander became
the oldest pitcher to win a major-
league baseball game Tuesday when his
Colorado Rockies beat San Diego.
Crikeys, I cant even throw the ball
for more than a few tosses without
endangering my shoulder socket!
When you have to go back to Sept. 13,
1932 Jack Quinn, you know, the old
Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher!!! to break
a record, that says something in a sport
that is all about records and numbers.
Chalk one up for the old guys!!
Kudos and heres hoping he doesnt
stop. Hey, maybe Satchel Paige is in
his sights and his mark of pitching in a
major-league game at the age of 59!
Could happen!
Then there is the matter of
Tennessee Lady Volunteer coach
Pat Summitt announcing her retire-
ment due to Early-Onset Dementia,
Alzheimers type.
I wrote about that possibility a couple
of weeks ago, with the way she was
applauded and honored as she left the
floor after her teams loss to Baylor in
the regional finals.
As I wrote then, it was a sad day
she looked very much like a very tired
lady that was resigned to the fact she was
done and its a sad day today knowing
that the decision has been made.
She will still be involved in the pro-
gram as a mentor, advisor, recruiter and
overall helper but her career ends two
wins shot of 1,100. Wow!
She will also be a spokesperson
against this disease.
I wish her luck.
So, Bobby Valentine hurt Kevin
Youkilis feelings.
The Boston Red Sox manager told
reporters the other day that he felt the
Red Sox star wasnt as engaged mentally
and physically as hed seen him in the
past.
That brought out a reply by Youkilis,
in essence, telling reporters that Valentine
might not know what hes talking about,
that nothing has changed about the stars
approach to the game.
This is nothing new. Valentine has
made a living of calling out his stars in
his own way; unfortunately for the man-
ager, in this day and age, that approach
doesnt translate into a long career at
whatever stop hes at.
Eventually, the players get tired of
what they perceive as shenanigans, even
though they may work for a while.
Heres the rub; Valentine is not in
Beantown to lose games or anger play-
ers; he is there to get the Red Sox to the
World Series and win the darn thing.
He is not going to anger his stars to
get them to short-circuit those plans but
to reach them. He may be many things
but he is not stupid.
Instead of running to the media and
spouting off, why not go to the manager
and actually find out what he means by
his comments?
Isnt that what grown men espe-
cially one making a few million dollars
and the other a few more SHOULD
do. Why does everything have to be
played out in the media?
Of course, it might lessen the amount
of items I could write about but thats
OK; some people think I make up most
of this stuff anyway!!! Unfortunately,
truth is, as THEY say, sometimes strang-
er than fiction and you CANT make
this up!
When do you think Albert Pujols
will begin to earn the mucho dinero he
is getting from the Los Angeles Angels
of Anaheim?
My thinking is that when he explodes,
things will come in waves.
However, as someone pointed out to
me the other day, Angel Stadium is not
Busch Stadium. it is not guaranteed he will
be hitting homers by the bushelload.
Of course, perhaps his greatest contri-
bution to a team may be his approach to
the game; he is the ultimate worker. He
has set a standard of excellence already
that started in spring training and has
carried over.
With the talent the Angels have, espe-
cially the pitching staff and a willing
owner in Arte Moreno, perhaps that is
all they need.
Joey Votto may also be feeling some
heat to live up to his newfound wealth
for the Cincinnati Reds. A .289 batting
average through the first two weeks of
the season (38 at-bats) isnt bad but its
not great for what we Reds fans are
expecting, fairly or unfairly. The Reds
havent opened their wallets for any-
one like this except for Ken Griffey Jr.
and having only one home run and six
RBIs in a hitters ball park like Great
American probably wont cut it.
If hes feeling pressure, well, thats
the nature of the business. I dont think
any of us want to hear any excuses.
Obviously, in baseball, certain stats
can be deceiving, such as RBIs or
a lack of them because its hard to
produce if no one is getting on in front
of you.
I also believe he will produce in the
end, just like I think Mat Patos will at
least I hope!
I realize that this is not about sports
per se grant me some leeway in this
column and allow me to wax nostalgic
for a spell! but I want to write some-
thing about the death of The Worlds
Oldest Teenager Tuesday, Dick Clark.
I remember American Bandstand
from my early days if memory serves
correctly, it aired on Saturdays.
He was an icon in the music industry
and in other areas of television and pro-
duction and it seemed like he never grew
older. Obviously, no one can beat Father
Time but we were almost sure that if
anyone could, it was the master of New
Years Rockin Eve.
Another one of those guys and gals
that I grew up watching is gone. Just
like when an old-time baseball/football/
basketball star leaves this mortal coil, a
piece of history a piece of us goes
with him.
It reminds me of something my friend,
Bernie Schnipke he will now disown
me!! always says and though I cant
duplicate it word for word, it amounts
to this they are each irreplaceable,
unique and cannot be duplicated.
Rest in peace.
Moyer not such an old guy; a fond adieu to Summitt
JIM METCALFE

The Delphos Herald
DELPHOS St. Johns
senior right-hander Isaac
Klausings pitching and his
defense matched the bril-
liant Wednesday afternoon at
Stadium Park, allow-
ing the Blue Jay base-
ball bats time to heat
up.
He threw a 4-hit
shutout, bamboozling
the Bath batters as he
walked one, hit a bat-
ter and fanned five.
When the Blue Jays (11-3)
finally heated up at the plate,
that led to a 9-0 shutout vic-
tory over the Wildcats in non-
league action.
Isaac had another solid
outing for us today. He is
getting stronger with every
outing and you can really see
his confidence growing, St.
Johns coach Dan Metzger
noted. He had his fastball,
curve and changeup all work-
ing for him and when you can
do that, it usually means its
going to be a tough game for
hitters. Between the pitching
and solid defense, it kept us
in the game until we could
get something rolling offen-
sively.
Bath wasted a leadoff walk
in the first (Caleb Norton); a
leadoff hit (Keaton Sullivan)
and a 2-out hit (Eric Heffner)
in the second; and a 1-out
knock by Sullivan in the
fourth.
The Jays didnt get a lot
against Wildcat starter Hill (5
1/3 innings, 9 hits, 8 runs, 7
earned, 3 BBs, 4 Ks), getting
a leadoff walk in the first for
Tanner Calvelage and a steal
but he was picked off.
We struggled early to get
anything going at the plate.
We were getting behind in
most of the counts and chased
pitches out of the zone,
Metzger continued. Then,
in the fourth, we started to
settle in and became aggres-
sive early in the count and
hits started to come.
Calvelage led off the home
fourth with a slice up the mid-
dle but was eliminated on a
double play. Troy Warnecke
doubled but was left strand-
ed.
The Jays finally got
through with three in the fifth.
Jordan Bergfeld singled and
Ryan Buescher sacrificed;
as Bergfeld alertly saw third
base was uncovered, an error
on the play allowed Bergfeld
to score. Back-to-back walks
to Cody Kundert (stolen base)
and Ryan Densel was fol-
lowed by a 2-out hit to left by
Calvelage (3-for-3, 3 RBIs)
that scored Kundert. Curtis
Geises base hit plated Densel
for a 3-0 edge.
That was aggressive
base-running by Jordan. Ryan
put down a great bunt and
Jordan, by being alert about
no one covering third, put
pressure on the defense to
make a play and they didnt,
Metzger added. From there,
we gained the momentum
and started to string
hits together and it
just snowballed from
there. People dont
realize how impor-
tant momentum is in
baseball. When things
start falling your way,
it just seems to carry
over to everybody on your
team. You hit the ball a little
harder, run the bases a little
more aggressively and the
other team starts to fall back
on its heels.
Bath left a runner on when
Matt Wise singled with two
down in the sixth.
The Jays put it away in
the home half. Klausing led it
off with a double to left and
Bergfeld singled. He stole
second and Bueschers hit up
the middle scored Klausing.
An out later, Densel singled to
plate Bergfeld and Buescher.
Densel stole second. Andrew
Metzger got aboard via a
fields choice, with an error
on the play putting runners on
the corners. Calvelages triple
to center greeting Davis in
relief scored both. An out
later, Warnecke finished the
run-producing with a knock
that got Calvelage home for
the ninth and final run.
Bath (11-5) tried to retali-
ated as Klausing plunked Nate
Heffner to commence the sev-
enth but he was eliminated
on a ground ball. Klausing
retired the final two to fin-
ish his 80-pitch outing (51
strikes).
St. Johns heads to Maria
Stein Friday for a 5 p.m. con-
test versus Marion Local.

The time Tennessee Lady
Vols and womens basketball
fans have dreaded for months
finally has arrived.
Pat Summitt is stepping
aside as Tennessees head
coach after 38 seasons, the
last an emotionally draining
farewell tour for the woman
who won more games than
anyone else in NCAA college
basketball history.
Ive loved being the head
coach at Tennessee for 38
years but I recognize that the
time has come to move into
the future and to step into
a new role, the 59-year-old
Hall-of-Famer revealed in a
statement issued Wednesday
by the school.
Summitt will discuss the
move, including the promo-
tion of long-time assistant
Holly Warlick as her replace-
ment, at a news conference
today on the court named in
her honor the night she won
her 1,000th game. Making
the decision had been only a
matter of time since Summitt
revealed Aug. 23 that she had
been diagnosed with early
onset dementia, Alzheimers
type.
Its why players from oppos-
ing teams joined fans from
coast to coast donning T-shirts
saying We back Pat and
greeted Summitt with cheers at
every game. Even the Murray
State men put shirts with the
phrase on when they played
at Summitts alma mater in
Martin this winter on another
court named in her honor.
But Summitts every
move was studied to see how
she felt, down to how many
officials she yelled at or her
icy glares at a player. After
losing to eventual national
champ Baylor in a regional
final, Warlicks tears during
the postgame news confer-
ence gave a glimpse of how
exhausting the season had
been and the possibility it was
Summitts last game.
Mickie DeMoss, who
served as Summitts assistant
for 21 years combined before
leaving for the WNBAs
Indiana Fever earlier this
month, said shes happy for
Summitt.
Her health and well-being
are most important to me,
DeMoss said. She now can
focus on doing things for Pat.
She has given 38 years to
UT and to womens basket-
ball. Now, she can do whats
best for herself, every day.
Im happy for my friend and
happy that she can begin a
new chapter in her life.
Summitt will report to ath-
letic director Dave Hart in her
new role, while assisting the
program she guided to eight
national titles since taking
over in 1974.
She is an icon who does
not view herself in that light
and her legacy is well-defined
and everlasting, Hart said.
Just like there will never
be another John Wooden,
there will never be another
Pat Summitt. I look forward
to continuing to work with
her in her new role. She is an
inspiration to everyone.
Her responsibilities will
include helping with recruit-
ing, watching practice, joining
staff meetings, helping coach-
es analyze practice and games
and advising the Southeastern
Conference on womens bas-
ketball issues and mentoring
players. Summitt also will be
working as a spokeswoman in
the fight against Alzheimers.
If anyone asks, you can
find me observing practice
or in my office, Summitt
said. Coaching is the great
passion of my life and the
job to me has always been an
opportunity to work with our
student-athletes and help them
discover what they want. I
will continue to make them
my passion. I love our players
and my fellow coaches and
thats not going to change.
UConn coach Geno
Auriemma said Summitts
vision for womens basket-
ball and her relentless drive
pushed the game to a new
level, making it possible for
the rest to accomplish what
they have.
In her new role, Im sure
she will continue to make
significant impacts to the
University of Tennessee
and to the game of wom-
ens basketball as a whole,
Auriemma added. I am
thrilled for (Warlick) as this
opportunity is well deserved
and Pat will be a huge asset to
her moving forward.
Warlick, a 3-time All-
American who played for
Summitt, was her assistant
for 27 years.
Hart said he watched
Warlick grow this season
under what he called unique
circumstances and that she
is deserving of the head job.
While Summitt devoted
more attention to her health,
Warlick took the lead during
games and handled postgame
interviews, with the entire
staff handling recruiting and
practices.
Warlick said she was
thankful for all Summitt has
done in preparing her for this
opportunity as her coach,
mentor and friend.
We will work as hard
as we possibly can with the
goal of hanging more banners
in Thompson-Boling Arena,
Warlick added.
Summitts diagnosis came
during one of the Lady Vols
most disappointing stretches
by their coachs lofty stan-
dards, anyway. Tennessee
hasnt won a national champi-
onship since 2008 and hasnt
even reached the Final Four,
tying for its longest such
drought in program history.
As Ive said many times,
Pat Summitt is a pioneer in
basketball, Duke coach Mike
Krzyzewski said. Her amaz-
ing career accomplishments
are among an elite group of
leaders. Very few people
leave a lasting legacy in their
chosen professions and Coach
Summitt has done just that at
the University of Tennessee
and in womens basketball.
She raised the level of com-
mitment, pride and notoriety
of her sport. I am honored to
call her a friend.
Tennessees five seniors
were part of the team that
lost in the first round of the
2009 NCAA tournament, the
only time in school history
the Lady Vols had bowed out
on the first weekend.
Those seniors promised
they would win a ninth nation-
al championship this season
not just for Summitt but
as center Vicki Baugh put it,
... for everyone who has
Alzheimers.
But they couldnt make it
back to the Final Four, los-
ing to Baylor and Brittney
Griner, a player Summitt
couldnt convince to come to
Knoxville.
Summitts career ends
with a 1,098-208 record, 16
regular-season Southeastern
Conference championships
and 16 SEC tournament
titles.
During her time, Tennessee
never failed to reach the
NCAA tournament, never
received a seed lower than
No. 5 and reached 18 Final
Fours.
Every Lady Vol player
who has completed her eligi-
bility at Tennessee graduated
under Summitt and 74 former
players, assistants, graduate
assistants, team managers and
directors of basketball opera-
tions are currently among the
coaching ranks at every level
of basketball.

OTTOVILLE - The
Lincolnview Lancers crossed
county lines to face off against
the Ottoville Lady
Green in softball on a
beautiful Wednesday
evening and came away
with a 19-6 win.
In the first inning,
the Lancers started hot -
which was a trend they would
carry throughout the remain-
der of the matchup. Macey
Ashbaugh walked to be the
first base-runner of the game,
advanced to third after two
passed balls and scored as
Devann Springer hit a sharp
base hit. Springer was erased
from the basepaths when the
umpire determined
she left the base
early in an attempt to
get a good jump. The
next batter, Carley
Springer, reached
base when she was hit
by a pitch and made it to third
after an error by Ottoville.
The Lancers added another
run when Kelsey Mohr drew
a walk with one out. She
ran down to first and took a
wide turn and started towards
second, getting into a run-
down which allowed Carley
Springer to run home and dent
the plate for Lincolnviews
second run.
In the bottom of the
inning, the Lady Green
fought back with a run of
their own. Leadoff batter
Haley Landwehr walked and
stole second. Three-hole hitter
Megan Reisner singled home
Landwehr for Ottovilles first
RBI of the game.
In the second, Lincolnview
continued to swing a hot bat
when Holly Diller and Jodie
Doner both singled to start
the frame. Ashbaugh doubled
home both runners for two
RBIs to make the score 4-1.
Lincolnview added one more
in the third to make it 5-1.
Lincolnview pulled away
from Ottoville in the top of
the fourth when they dropped
a 13-spot. The frame started
with back-to-back doubles by
Devann and Carley Springer.
Diller added two more runs
with a 2-RBI triple and
scored on a RBI single by
Doner. Five more Lancers had
RBI hits, including Baylee
Neates 2-run double and
Morgan Peels RBI single.
Lincolnviews big frame ran
their lead to 18-1.
The Lady Green added a
run in the bottom of the fourth
when Courtney Von Sossan
doubled home Nikki Burgei.
In the fifth inning, the
Lancers also had an RBI
double, this one by Lauren
Calvert.
Ottoville added four more
runs in the bottom of the fifth
but it would not be enough to
stop Lincolnview from run-
ruling the Lady Green 19-6.
Lancer coach Kent
McClure was happy with the
way his team hit the ball: It
was good to get our bats going
again after having only three
hits against Parkway. We are
going into a conference game
against Paulding tomorrow,
so it was nice to get the bats
going.
Courtney Gorman threw
five innings of 5-hit ball. She
allowed five walks and six
runs, with three strikeouts in
the win for the Lancers.
McClure was happy that
he could get Gorman some
innings under her belt: We
brought in a new pitcher to
get some experience for the
coming weeks.
Ottoville coach Joe Modica
said his young team is still in
a transition process to find
roles: We have struggled
all year; [we have] a lot of
new players struggling. So
we have been moving people
around and it looks like we
dont know what were doing
- but we are working hard on
the defensive end.
With the win, the Lady
Lancers improve to 7-6 on
the season. Lincolnview
visits Paulding tonight and
Hicksville for an 11 a.m.
Saturday doubleheader.
Ottoville is at
Paulding for an 11 a.m.
doubleheader Saturday.

(Late Tuesday)
Vikings knock off Big
Green in PCL hardball
Tuesday night pitted two
Putnam County League base-
ball teams that their seasons
are going in different direc-
tions so far. The Leipsic
Vikings (14-1) took on the
Ottoville Big Green (2-9) in
their annual Putnam County
League matchup.
The game featured
only nine hits (Leipsic
5, Ottoville 4) but the
Vikings used all five
hits, coupled with
three walks and two
errors to post a 7-1 win over
the Big Green.
After a scoreless first, the
Vikings took the lead in the
top of the second with three
runs. The inning started with a
single by Ty Maag, followed
by two quick outs by the
Vikings. Jaysen Niese walked
and was brought home, along
with Maag, on Austin Browns
double. Brown then scored
on a run-producing double by
Brady Schroeder, extending
the lead to 3-0.
The Big Green plated their
only run in the bottom of the
second inning. Senior Austin
Markward led off with a dou-
ble and took third on a passed
ball. Junior Craig Odenweller
drove in Markward with a
groundout.
In the third, the Vikings
added to their lead with one
more run. Travis Schroeder
walked and was sacrificed
to second by Nate Schey.
Schroeder scored when the
Big Green committed an error
on Maags grounder to short-
stop to extend the lead to 4-1.
The fourth was the last
inning either team could cross
the plate for the rest of the
game. Niese walked, stole sec-
ond and was brought home
by (Brady) Schroeders single.
Schroeder scored on (Trevor)
Schroeders double. Schroeder
stole third and with one out
was brought home by a sacri-
fice fly by (Travis) Schroeder
making the score 7-1.
Trevor Schroeder pitched
seven strong innings in getting
the win for the Vikings. The
Big Green mustered four hits
off of him and he struck out
10 and walked none. Brady
Schroeder had two hits, a run
scored and two RBIs. Niese
walked twice, scored a run, had
two stolen bases and knocked
in a run for the contest.
Travis Maag started on
the mound for the Big Green
and took the lost, giving up
seven runs (6 earned) on
five hits and three walks and
struck out five batters. Alex
Horstman finished the game
and pitched three scoreless
innings. The Big Green had
three extra-base hits for the
game with doubles coming
from Markward, Horstman
and Brandon Boecker.
Ottoville visits Pandora-
Gilboa 5 p.m. Friday.

Pat Summitt
NL
DENVER Juan Nicasio
threw 6 1/3 solid innings for
his first win since returning
from a broken neck, lifting
the Colorado Rockies over
the San Diego Padres 8-4 on
Wednesday night.
Nicasio (1-0) gave up four
runs and seven hits as he made
his second start at Coors Field
since Aug. 5, when he was
hit in the right temple by
a line drive and suffered a
fractured skull along with the
neck injury.
The hard-throwing righty
earned a spot in the rotation
with a strong spring a
remarkable recovery consid-
ering that doctors were fearful
he might not walk again after
the accident, let alone take the
mound.
Nicasio also singled home
a run, the first RBI of the
young pitchers career. That
hit finished Clayton Richard
(1-1), who didnt have his
best command as he sur-
rendered eight runs in 5 1-3
innings.
PIRATES 2, DIAMONDBACKS 1
PHOENIX Neil Walkers 2-out
bloop single fell near three players in
shallow center field and drove in Clint
Barmes with the go-ahead run in the

The Pirates, who won two games
in the 3-game series with Arizona,
got back-to-back two-out singles from
Barmes and Andrew McCutchen in the
eighth off Diamondbacks starter Daniel
Hudson (1-1) before Walkers hit off
reliever David Hernandez.
Chris Resop and Tony Watson
combined to pitch a scoreless eighth
inning, and Juan Cruz earned his
second straight save after allowing a
leadoff single in the ninth.
The Diamondbacks went ahead
1-0 after leadoff man Willie Bloomquist
tripled and scored on Jason Kubels
single in the first inning.
BRAVES 14, METS 6
ATLANTA Dan Uggla ended
his struggles against R.A. Dickey with
a two-run homer, and Juan Francisco
and Freddie Freeman also hit two-run
drives.
Uggla had been 0 for 24 against
the knuckleballer before his home
run capped a four-run third and gave
Atlanta a 6-3 lead.
Francisco homered in the sec-
ond and Freeman hit an opposite-field
drive to left in the fifth that chased
Dickey (2-1), who allowed eight runs
and eight hits in 4 1-3 innings in his
worst outing in four years.
Atlanta has won seven of eight
since opening the season with four
losses, including three straight in New
York.
David Wright had three RBIs, tying
Darryl Strawberry for the Mets career
record at 733. Ike Davis homered for
New York, which completed a 3-3 trip.
Cristhian Martinez (1-0) gave up
one run and three hits in two innings
to win in relief of Jair Jurrjens, whose
ERA rose to 8.10.
MARLINS 9, CUBS 1
MIAMI Hanley Ramirez hom-
ered for the third game in a row, Mark
NEWARK, N.J.
Carmelo Anthony scored 21
of his 33 points in the first
quarter and the New York
Knicks beat the Nets 104-95
on Wednesday night in their
last trip to New Jersey.
Continuing his torrid
stretch without Amare
Stoudemire and Jeremy
Lin, Anthony hit his
first six shots in front of
the usual pro-New York
crowd that will become
an all-New York crowd
next season, when the
Nets move to Brooklyn.
The Nets once hoped
to have Anthony in the
lineup when they got
there and he is showing why
lately, surpassing 30 points
for the third straight game and
the sixth time in nine games
this month. He shot 11-of-
21, 5-of-7 on 3-pointers, and
finished slightly ahead of the
NBA-best 32.1 points he was
averaging in April.
CELTICS 102, MAGIC 98
BOSTON Paul Pierce had 29
points and a career-high 14 assists
and the Celtics clinched the Atlantic
Division title as they held off a late
charge by the Magic.
Boston (37-26) has a 3 1/2-game
lead over New York (33-29). Both can
end the regular season tied at 37-29
but the Celtics would finish first with
a better conference record, the sec-
ond tie-breaker behind head-to-head
matchups.
Division winners are guaranteed
to be seeded no worse than fourth
in the conference and wouldnt have
to face Chicago or Miami in the first
round.
The Magic cut a 91-78 lead to
91-90 on a layup by Jameer Nelson
with 3:04 left. But they came no clos-
er.
HEAT 96, RAPTORS 72
MIAMI LeBron James scored 28
points before taking the fourth quarter
off, Mike Miller added 13 points and
the Heat continued tuning up for the
postseason by pulling away in the
second half to beat the Raptors.
James made 12 of his 15 shots for
Miami, which also got 10 points from
Udonis Haslem. The Heat played with-
out Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh,
both given the night off.
James Johnson scored 18 points,
Alan Anderson added 15 and DeMar
DeRozan had 12 for Toronto, which
managed only 23 points in the second
half tying a franchise-low and fell
for the sixth time in eight games.
Up next for Miami: A showdown
at home Chicago tonight. The Bulls
(47-15) hold a 2 1/2-game lead over
the Heat (44-17) in the Eastern
Conference standings.
HAWKS 116, PISTONS 84
ATLANTA Tracy
McGrady led six players in
double figures and the playoff-
bound Hawks built a 37-point
lead in the first half on the way
to a rout of the Pistons.
With their highest-scoring
half of the season, the Hawks
were up 72-42 at the break in
the first of five straight home
games to close the regular
season. Atlanta is battling with
Boston and Orlando to be the
final Eastern Conference team
with home-court advantage.
The Hawks sure played like
it mattered in this one, getting
contributions from everyone in what
was essentially a mirror image of the
116-77 beatdown that the Pistons
handed Cleveland the previous night.
Detroit had nothing left for the Hawks,
who got a season-high 72 points from
their bench.
WIZARDS 121, BUCKS 112
WASHINGTON Jordan
Crawford equaled a season-high with
32 points and John Wall had 14 points
and 10 assists as the Wizards dealt
the Bucks a crucial defeat in their
attempt for the final playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference.
Milwaukee began the day 1 1/2
games behind Philadelphia for eighth
place in the East but lost a game as
the Sixers won in Cleveland.
The Bucks had the previous three
days off while the Sixers were complet-
ing their third game in three nights.
Monta Ellis had 31 points for
Milwaukee, while Brandon Jennings
had 25 points and Drew Gooden
added 21 points and 12 rebounds.
Nene and Kevin Seraphin both
had 14 points for Washington.
76ERS 103, CAVALIERS 87
CLEVELAND Jrue Holiday
made five 3-pointers and scored 19 of
his 24 points in the third quarter as the
76ers kept their hold on a playoff spot
with a win over the Cavaliers.
Holiday made four of his 3s during
a stunning 24-2 run when the Sixers
blew open a tight game. Andre Iguodala
added 19 points as Philadelphia. The
Sixers play their final four on the road,
including a matchup against the Bucks
next week.
Cavaliers rookie Kyrie Irving
scored 9 points in his first game back
after missing nine straight with a
sprained shoulder. Samardo Samuels
scored 15 for Cleveland.
GRIZZLIES 103, HORNETS 91
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Rudy Gay
scored 26 points and Mike Conley
added 20 as the Grizzlies clinched a
playoff berth for the second straight
season with a victory over the
Hornets.
Gay was on 9-of-14 from the field
and Conley hit 8-of-11 as the Grizzlies
shot 51 percent overall. O.J. Mayo
scored 15 points and Zach Randolph
added 10 for Memphis.
Rookie Jerome Dyson led the
Hornets with a career-high 24 points,
while Carl Landry finished with 16.
Marco Belinelli matched Landrys 16
points and Jason Smith finished with
12.
BULLS 100, BOBCATS 68
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Richard
Hamilton scored 22 points in just 24
minutes as the Chicago Bulls took a
step closer to wrapping up the No.
1 seed in the Eastern Conference
playoffs with a rout of the dreadful
Bobcats.
Hamilton made his first seven
shots from the field, including four
from beyond the arc and the outcome
was never in doubt.
Despite playing without leading
scorers Derrick Rose and Luol Deng,
the Bulls shot 48 percent from the floor
and connected on 9-of-19 shots from
3-point range to bounce back from
Tuesday nights surprising 87-84 loss
to the Washington Wizards.
Kemba Walker scored 16 points
for the Bobcats, whove lost a fran-
chise-record 18 straight games. If the
Bobcats lose their final five games
they will finish with the worst winning
percentage in NBA history.
MAVERICKS 117, ROCKETS
110
DALLAS Dirk Nowitzki scored
21 of his 35 points in the fourth quar-
ter and the Mavericks rallied to vic-
tory over the Rockets, whose playoff
hopes took another blow.
Jason Terry put the Mavericks
ahead to stay with a 3-pointer that
made it 93-92 with 7:37 left.
By the time Nowitzki completed a
3-point play 3 1/2 minutes later, the
Mavericks led 102-94. That wrapped
up a 20-6 run their 11-time All-Star
forward started with consecutive
3-pointers.
JAZZ 112, TRAIL BLAZERS 91
PORTLAND, Ore. Devin Harris
had 27 points, including a career-high
six 3-pointers, and the Jazz continued
to jockey for a playoff spot with a vic-
tory over the Trail Blazers.
The Jazz, with just three games
to play, are locked in a battle for the
remaining playoff spots in the Western
Conference with Houston, Phoenix,
Dallas and Denver.
Gordon Hayward added 23 points
for the Jazz, who led by as many as
31 points. Al Jefferson had 11 points
and 10 rebounds for his team-high
29th double-double this season.
Wesley Matthews had 21 points
for the Blazers, who had already been
eliminated from the playoffs.
CLIPPERS 104, NUGGETS 98
DENVER Kenyon Martin
helped beat his old team with a tip-in
and blocked shot in the final half-
minute, leading the Clippers past the
Nuggets.
Martin tipped in Chris Pauls
missed jumper with 27 seconds left
and the game tied at 96, then blocked
Ty Lawson at the other end with 20
seconds remaining. After a timeout,
Paul made two free throws with 18.3
seconds left to make it a 4-point
game.
The Nuggets got back within two
on Lawsons free throws with 16 sec-
onds remaining, but Mo Williams, who
scored 19 points and came up huge in
the fourth quarter, replied with two free
throws and Paul, who led the Clippers
with 21 points, capped the game with
an uncontested dunk.
THUNDER 109, SUNS 97
PHOENIX James Harden
scored a career-high 40 points, includ-
ing making 5-of-8 3-pointers, and the
Thunder dealt Phoenix a blow in its
scramble to make the playoffs.
Kevin Durant added 29 points and
Russell Westbrook 15 for the Thunder,
who stayed a half-game behind San
Antonio for the top playoff seed in the
Western Conference.
Jared Dudley scored 21 points
for Phoenix.
SPURS 127, KINGS 102
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Tiago
Splitter and Gary Neal scored 17
points each, leading the Spurs to a
victory over the Kings for their fifth
straight win.
Using their reserves extensively
all game, the Spurs beat the Kings in
Sacramento for an eighth straight time
and remained a half-game in front of
Oklahoma City for the top seed in the
Western Conference.
San Antonio, playing its third game
in three nights, won decisively without
veteran center Tim Duncan, who was
given the night off to rest. The Spurs
were coming off two 21-point victories
at Golden State and the Lakers the
previous two days.
Isaiah Thomas had 21 points and
eight assists for the Kings.
LAKERS 99, WARRIORS 87
OAKLAND, Calif. Andrew
Bynum had 31 points and nine
rebounds, Pau Gasol recorded
a triple-double and the Lakers
rebounded from their worst loss of the
season by beating the undermanned
Warriors.
Gasol finished with 22 points, 11
rebounds and 11 assists to help the
Lakers build a 17-point lead by the
second quarter and cruise to an easy
win even with Kobe Bryant miss-
ing his seventh straight game with a
bruised left shin a night after a 112-
91 home loss to San Antonio.
Klay Thompson scored 17 points
and Dorell Wright had 12 points and
seven rebounds for a Warriors team
wrapping up the end of another sorry
season.

Martz earns spot on
Level 8 State team
Photo submitted
By DAN GELSTON
PHILADELPHIA
Sidney Crosby, at last, found
a way to silence the Flyers
fans that love to hate him
from warmups to the final
horn.
How?
Crosby and the
Penguins dished out
the kind of punish-
ment they can only
hope swings the series
back their way.
Pushed to the brink of a
sweep, Crosby, Evgeni Malkin
and Jordan Staal pushed back
with a vengeance, helping
Pittsburgh score nine goals in
the first two periods of a 10-3
win over the Philadelphia
Flyers on Wednesday night
in their opening-round play-
off series.
Weve given ourselves
a chance to get back to
Pittsburgh, Crosby said.
And thats all we wanted out
of this game.
Staal had a hat trick, Malkin
scored his first two goals of
the series and Crosby added
one to help the Penguins cut
the series deficit to 3-1. Game
5 is Friday in Pittsburgh.
Marc-Andre Fleury settled
down after a shaky first peri-
od and had his best game of
the series, easily outplaying
counterpart Ilya Bryzgalov.
The Flyers led 3-2 when
the Penguins reeled off eight
straight goals to win the most
lopsided game of the series.
Claude Giroux, Kimmo
Timonen and Jakub Voracek
all scored for the Flyers, who
blew their chance at a stun-
ning sweep of the 108-point
Penguins. Bryzgalov, shaky
all series, was at his worst
in Game 4. He was yanked
for Sergei Bobrovsky after
allowing his fifth goal of the
game.
After the team brawled
to 158 penalty minutes in
Game 3, the nastiness in the
series spilled off the ice when
Crosby said he didnt like any
of the Flyers. So, the Flyers
whipped up orange T-shirts
for the game that read, Guess
What? We Dont Like YOU
Either!
The tabloid Daily News
photoshopped Crosbys head
on a lion with the headline,
The Cowardly Penguin:
Time to Finish Off Sniveling
Sidney.
It was Pittsburghs captain
that got to savor the moment
in Philadelphia, though.
The Penguins were the
first team to score at least 10
goals in a playoff game since
the Los Angeles Kings scored
12 against the Calgary Flames
on April 10, 1990, according
to STATS LLC.
Theres little chance
of a goalie controversy in
Philadelphia. After earning
huge cheers for stopping his
first shot, Bobrovsky was
worse than Bryzgalov, allow-
ing four goals the rest of the
second period.
Fleury made it stand the
rest of the way and started
to make up for a miserable
first three games that saw him
allow 17 goals.
Then again, Pittsburghs
offense was so potent, not
even Fleury could blow this
one. He stopped all 14 shots
over the final two periods.
Long despised in
Philadelphia, Crosby scored
his second goal of the series
on a deflection that tied the
game at 3-all in the first. Staal
followed with a goal from
the slot for a 4-3 lead and the
Penguins never looked back.
The Penguins were short-
handed in their last-gasp
effort at trying to stave off
elimination. Forward Arron
Asham served the first game
of a 4-game suspension and
James Neal and Craig Adams
served a 1-game ban for their
actions in Game 3.
Defenseman Paul
Martin also sat out
with an undisclosed
injury.
Trying to stir the
pot of an already
emotional series, the
Flyers showed league disci-
plinarian Brendan Shanahans
video explanations of the
Asham and Neal suspen-
sions.
The crowd was fired up.
But so were the Penguins.
Kris Letang shot high over
Bryzgalovs right shoulder in
the opening minutes of the
second for his first goal of the
series and a 5-3 lead. Flyers
coach Peter Laviolette saw
enough and yanked his $51
million goalie.
The goals kept coming at
a clip more appropriate for an
All-Star game. Staal scored
his second, Steve Sullivan and
Pascal Dupuis each scored and
Staal slid an easy one through
Bobrovskys legs for the hat
trick and a stunning five-goal
third. The Penguins scored
four power-play goals.
For a few minutes in
the first, it looked like the
Flyers were set to roll toward
a sweep. The Flyers scored
eight goals in each of the last
two games and scored three
on the power play in the first.
But the offense dried up and
the Penguins took over.
By the time Malkin scored
to make it 10-3 in the third,
most of the fans had left and
the crazed atmosphere from
the opening faceoff was a
distant memory.
CANUCKS 3, KINGS 1
LOS ANGELES Cory
Schneider made 43 saves and stopped
Dustin Browns penalty shot in his
first career playoff victory, Daniel
Sedin sparked Vancouvers power
play in his return from injury and
the top-seeded Canucks beat Los
Angeles to avoid an embarrassing
first-round sweep.
Kevin Bieksa scored the go-
ahead goal and Alex Edler and cap-
tain Henrik Sedin scored the first two
power-play goals of the series for the
Canucks, who emphatically avoid-
ed becoming the first Presidents
Trophy-winning team in the post-
expansion era to get swept out of the
first round.
Anze Kopitar scored a first-peri-
od goal and Jonathan Quick stopped
27 shots for the Kings, who couldnt
capitalize on their first chance to
close out their first playoff series
victory since 2001. Brown had a
chance to tie it with 14:37 to play but
Schneider wasnt fooled by the Los
Angeles captains multiple moves.
Game 5 is Sunday in Vancouver.
The Canucks got a boost from
leading goal-scorer Daniel Sedin,
who returned from a 12-game
absence because of a concussion and
contributed an assist to a power play
that went 0-for-14 in the first three
games.
The defending Western
Conference champions overcame
a second-period deficit with three
straight goals to back Schneider,
making his second straight start in
place of Roberto Luongo.
SENATORS 3, RANGERS 2,
OT
OTTAWA Kyle Turris scored
at 2:42 of overtime to lift Ottawa
past New York, tying the Eastern
Conference series at two games
apiece.
Turris, acquired from Phoenix
during the season, took a drop pass
from Jim OBrien and snapped a
wrist shot past Henrik Lundqvists
glove from the left faceoff circle.
Milan Michalek and Sergei
Gonchar scored in the second period
for the Senators to erase a 2-0 defi-
cit,= and Craig Anderson stopped
31 shots.
Anton Stralman and Ryan
Callahan had power-plays goals early
in the first period for the Rangers.
Henrik Lundqvist made 28 saves.
Game 5 is Saturday night in New
York.
Penguins rout Flyers 10-3
and cut series to 3-1
(Continued from Page 7)
Buehrle pitched eight innings for
his first victory with Miami and the
Marlins beat the slumping Chicago
Cubs 9-1 on Wednesday night.
Ramirez put the Marlins up 4-0
with a two-run homer in the fifth
inning. He started the season slowly,
but in the past four games has gone
9 for 16 with nine RBIs to hike his
average from .133 to .283.
Ramirez hit a walk-off RBI single
in the 11th inning Sunday, and broke
an eighth-inning tie with a three-run
homer in Tuesdays victory. He has
four homers after hitting only 10 last
year, when he struggled with injuries
and a prolonged slump.
Buehrle (1-2), one of the Marlins
offseason All-Star acquisitions,
allowed one run and six hits while
pitching at Marlins Park for the first
time.
NATIONALS 3, ASTROS 2
WASHINGTON Jayson
Werth drew a bases-loaded walk
and Wilson Ramos hit a sacrifice fly
as the Washington Nationals rallied
in the eighth inning for their third
straight win.
The Nationals improved to 10-3
they became the first team in
the majors to reach 10 wins this
season. The Los Angeles Dodgers
and Texas each began the day with
nine victories.
Washington drew three walks in
the eighth and scored twice against
three Astros relievers.
Houston lost its fourth in a row.
CARDINALS 11, REDS 1
ST. LOUIS Jaime Garcia
pitched seven effective innings
and hit a two-run triple and Carlos
Beltran homered again.
Beltran hit a two-run shot, his
fifth homer overall and second of the
series. Tyler Greene also had a two-
run homer while Rafael Furcal had
four hits and drove in two runs.
Garcia (2-0) allowed one run
on seven hits and three walks. He
was aided by four double plays and
helped his cause with a triple off the
wall in center field in the sixth that
made it 7-1 and chased Mat Latos
(0-2).
BREWERS 3, DODGERS 2, 10
innings
MILWAUKEE (AP) Nyjer
Morgan scored on a fly ball by Ryan
Braun in the 10th inning in the sec-
ond late-inning thriller in a row for
Milwaukee.
With the bases loaded and one
out, Braun lofted a shallow fly ball
to center field. Morgan took off for
home despite a stop sign from third
base coach Ed Sedar and was called
safe on a close play at the plate
although replays showed that he
may have been tagged out before
reaching the plate. It didnt matter
to Morgan, who was mobbed by his
teammates after sliding home.
Reliever Matt Guerrier (0-1)
took the loss for the Dodgers, who
have lost the first two games of the
series.
Kameron Loe (1-0) earned the
win.
Aramis Ramirez hit his first home
run of the season for the Brewers,
shaking off what has been a slug-
gish start to the season with his
new team.
AL
ANAHEIM, Calif. Bartolo
Colon threw 38 consecutive strikes
at one point and pitched four-hit ball
for eight innings to help the Oakland
Athletics beat the cellar-dwelling Los
Angeles Angels 6-0 on Wednesday
night.
Colon (3-1) struck out five and
walked none, helping drop his for-
mer team six games behind two-
time defending AL champion Texas
in the AL West just 12 games
into the season. The 38-year-olds
consecutive strikes streak ended on
an 0-1 pitch to Bobby Abreu with one
out in the eighth.
STATS LLC said its pitch-by-
pitch data goes back to 1988
since then, the most consecutive
strikes a pitcher has thrown is 30,
by Tim Wakefield for Boston in 1998
against Cleveland.
Colon, whose three previous
starts this season all were against
Seattle, has walked only two batters
in his first 27 1-3 innings and has
made 18 consecutive starts with
fewer than three one off his
longest such streak. The last time
he issued more than two walks was
July 7, 2011.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-
run homer for Oakland, giving the
Cuban-born rookie a team-leading
12 RBIs in his first 12 games.
Jonny Gomes added a solo shot
for the As against Ervin Santana
(0-3), who gave up four runs and
seven hits over seven innings with
five strikeouts.
RANGERS 6, RED SOX 3
BOSTON Mike Napoli hit a
two-run homer and drove in four
runs, Derek Holland pitched seven
solid innings as Texas beat Boston
for its sixth straight win.
Josh Hamilton had three singles
and drove in a run for the Rangers,
who improved to 10-2.
Kevin Youkilis had a two-run
homer for the Red Sox, who dropped
their third consecutive game, and
Josh Beckett (1-2) took the loss
despite holding the Rangers down
one night after they hit six homers in
an 18-3 win.
Holland (2-0) held Boston to two
runs on four hits, walking three and
fanning seven.
Boston has lost eight of its last
10 games at Fenway Park against
the Rangers.
TWINS 6, YANKEES 5
NEW YORK Justin Morneau
hit two mammoth homers and Jason
Marquis won his Minnesota debut in
the victory over New York.
Joe Mauer and Jamey Carroll
each had an RBI double in a four-
run first against Hiroki Kuroda (1-2).
Marquis threw 87 pitches in five
innings and left with a 6-4 lead,
earning his first major league win
since July 18 with the Nationals at
Houston.
Robinson Cano hit his first
home run of the season for the
Yankees and Derek Jeter his fourth.
Kuroda was roughed up for 10 hits
in 4 1-3 innings after taking a shut-
out into the ninth Friday against the
Angels.
RAYS 12, BLUE JAYS 2
TORONTO Luke Scott hit a
grand slam and Ben Zobrist added
a two-run homer to lead Tampa Bay
over Toronto.
Matt Joyce and Sean Rodriguez
added solo shots for Tampa Bay.
Scott hit his third career grand slam
and first since 2010 as the Rays
broke the game open with a six-run
ninth.
David Price (2-1) improved to
10-2 in 14 career starts against
Toronto. The left-hander allowed two
runs and eight hits in 5 2-3 innings.
He is 4-0 in five starts at Rogers
Centre.
Brandon Morrow (0-1) allowed
six runs and eight hits in six innings,
walked three and matched a career
high by giving up three homers.
WHITE SOX 8, ORIOLES 1
CHICAGO Slumping slug-
ger Adam Dunn lined a three-run
double, A.J. Pierzynski homered and
Chicago beat Baltimore to snap a
three-game slide.
Dunn was 0 for 15 against left-
handers this season before the
opposite-field hit.
Jake Peavy (2-0) pitched seven
sparkling innings, allowing four hits
with eight strikeouts and no walks.
Alejandro De Aza also homered for
the White Sox.
Endy Chavez had a run-scoring
double for the Orioles, who had won
four of five. Tommy Hunter (1-1)
matched a career high with eight
strikeouts, but was charged with
eight runs and nine hits in 5 2-3
innings.
TIGERS 4, ROYALS 3
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Prince
Fielder drove in two runs and Max
Scherzer got his first win of the
season to lead Detroit over Kansas
City.
The Royals have lost seven
straight, including their first six
games at Kauffman Stadium, the
most consecutive home losses in
franchise history to start a season.
The Royals lost their first five at
home in 1993.
Scherzer (1-1) held the Royals
to three runs on seven hits and one
walk in six-plus innings. Scherzer
lowered his earned run average
from 10.38 to 7.98.
The Tigers scored two in the
seventh off relievers Kelvin Herrera
and Jose Mijares (0-1).
MARINERS 4, INDIANS 1
SEATTLE Jason Vargas
threw seven innings and the top
of the order provided the pop as
Seattle beat Cleveland in front of
the smallest crowd in the history of
Safeco Field.
Brandon League pitched the bot-
tom of the ninth for his fifth straight
save. Just 11,343 watched the
game, setting a new record-low at
Safeco Field, which was built
in 1999. The previous low was
11,701 against Baltimore on May
31, 2011.
Derek Lowe (2-1) pitched 4 1-3
innings, allowed two home runs, four
earned runs and walked six one
short of his career high.
Chone Figgins and Ichiro Suzuki
homered for the Mariners.

Ohio Senate provides farmers a
framework to better market products
COLUMBUS The
states number one industry
received a big boost today
as the Senate approved a
plan to give Ohio farmers
the opportunity to better
market their products while
simultaneously working to
meet or exceed recently
enacted federal food safety
standards.
Sponsored by State
Senator Cliff Hite (R
Findlay), Senate Bill 309
creates voluntary agricul-
tural marketing agreements
which would allow Ohios
farmers to work together
to meet the demands and
safety expectation of the
consumer. By entering into
these agreements, farmers
will be able to provide sta-
ble markets for products like
fruits, vegetables, and dairy
products. This program also
creates the opportunity for
further job growth within
the industry.
The agriculture indus-
try has been a long-stand-
ing catalyst for jobs and
economic development
throughout Ohio, said
the bills sponsor. These
marketing agreements will
not only grow a collab-
orative relationship among
our states farmers, but also
empower them by allowing
them to assist in promoting
and protecting their prod-
ucts.
Senator Hite worked
closely with the Ohio Farm
Bureau Federation and the
Ohio Produce Growers and
Markers Association in
crafting the legislation. The
agreements require no addi-
tional cost to the state as
they will be self-supporting
through fees paid by partici-
pants. The Ohio Department
of Agriculture will assist
in establishing any of the
agreements.
Ohio is currently home
to more than 1,000 food
processing companies and
is a national leader in agri-
culture production. One in
seven Ohioans work in the
agriculture business and the
industry contributes more
than $107 billion to Ohios
economy.
These market-
ing agreements
will not only
grow a collabora-
tive relationship
among our states
farmers, but also
empower them by
allowing them to
assist in promot-
ing and protecting
their products.

51 Thus, in citations
By Gary Clothier
Q: You probably have been
asked this before, but how do
you get a brain freeze? And
more important, how do you
get rid of it? -- B.C., Redondo
Beach, Calif.
A: Brain freeze is Mother
Natures way of telling you
to slow down when eating
or drinking something cold.
Also known as ice-cream
headache and medically
known as sphenopalatine
ganglioneuralgia, brain freeze
is the result of rapid cooling
and then warming of the
palate (roof of the mouth). The
nerves respond by causing
the blood vessels in the head
to constrict and then swell
up, which causes the pain.
To help relieve the headache,
you could try sipping some
room-temperature water. You
could cup your hands over
your mouth and nose and
breathe quickly, raising the
temperature in your mouth.
Or just wait for a minute or so,
and it will go away.
Q: With the passing of the
last American World War I
veteran, how did the term
doughboy come into being? --
W.E.S. Kalamazoo, Mich.
A: Historians have debated
the origin of the word. At
one time, doughboy applied
only to infantrymen, but later,
before the end of World War
I, applied to all American
armed forces; the term was
not used in a derogatory sense.
By World War II, the word
had completely vanished --
American soldiers were called
GIs. The term doughboy dates
back to at least the Mexican-
American War of 1846-1847.
Theories abound for the origin,
but none seem valid.
Q: In the 1956 movie The
Searchers, who is the actor
who plays Mose Harper? I
have seen him in other movies.
-- S.C., Peoria, Ill.
A: His name is Hank Worden
(1901-1992). He grew up on
a cattle ranch in Montana.
Educated at Stanford and the
University of Nevada as an
engineer, he washed out as
an Army pilot. He became
involved in rodeos, appeared
in a Broadway production,
drove taxis in New York City,
and worked on a dude ranch.
He became friends with John
Wayne, Howard Hawks and
John Ford, which opened a new
career path for him. He appeared
in more than 200 TV episodes
and movies; 17 of those films
were with John Wayne.

OHIO SCAN NETWORK CLASSIFIEDS
Dear Sara: What size slow cooker
do I need for a 4-pound chuck
roast? Can I cut it up to make it fit
in my Crock-Pot, which is pretty
small? Also, if I do decide to get
a bigger one, is there a difference
between a Crock-Pot and a slow
cooker? If so, which is better? Ill
be shopping for the most basic
model. -- Cari S., Texas
Dear Cari: For a 4-pound chuck
roast, Id use at least a 6-quart slow
cooker. You can cut the roast into
sections if you want to, but its not
necessary. I prefer an oblong slow
cooker for meat and poultry. I use
smaller, round slow cookers for
dips, desserts, soups, etc.
Regarding Crock-Pots versus
slow cookers: Crock-Pot is Rivals
brand of slow cooker. Ive only
owned two slow cookers in my life,
and theyre both Crock-Pots, so I
cant tell you if Crock-Pot is better
than any other brand. But I can
say that Ive been very happy with
them. As far as basic slow cookers
go, I suggest one with a manual
control versus a digital touch-pad
control (its cheaper), removable
crock (for ease of cleaning) and
glass lid (Im not sure if plastic
lids are still being made). If the
handles or knob are attached to the
lid by screws, youll want to check
them regularly to be sure theyre
tight. You may personally prefer
features such as automatic shutoff,
programmable settings, divided
dish (for multiple dishes) or an
insulated carry case, but those
features arent typically available
in a basic slow cooker.
Dear Sara: I have a wooden
kitchen table with ring-shaped
water stains on it. Do you have any
suggestions for removing them? --
Melody, New Hampshire
Dear Melody: Try rubbing
mayonnaise onto the water stains,
then wipe away the mayonnaise
with a damp cloth.
Dear Sara: Can you tell me how
to find an affordable prom dress? I
cant afford to shell out hundreds
for a formal dress for my daughter.
-- Jill S., New York
Dear Jill: You have plenty of
time to find an affordable dress.
Check thrift stores and online
resources such as Craigslist, eBay
and Freecycle. DonateMyDress.
org has listings of stores across
the country that take donated prom
dresses. These stores then rent
them out, give them away or sell
them at greatly reduced prices.
Dear Sara: I recently put too
much oatmeal in an oatmeal
cookie recipe. I tried adding butter
to compensate, but the batch still
didnt turn out. How would you
have fixed this problem? -- BJM,
email
Dear BJM: Id double the recipe,
using less oatmeal in the added
ingredients to make up for the
excess. If youre unsure exactly
how much excess oatmeal you
added in the first batch, Id start
with half the amount of oatmeal
called for (unless you know
you overdid it by a lot, in which
case Id start out with very little
oatmeal) and gradually add more
until its the right consistency. In
other words, estimate it. You could
always test it by baking a few. You
might discover that you like the
recipe with less or more oats, too.

Dear Sara: What size slow cooker
do I need for a 4-pound chuck
roast? Can I cut it up to make it fit
in my Crock-Pot, which is pretty
small? Also, if I do decide to get
a bigger one, is there a difference
between a Crock-Pot and a slow
cooker? If so, which is better? Ill
be shopping for the most basic
model. -- Cari S., Texas
Dear Cari: For a 4-pound chuck
roast, Id use at least a 6-quart slow
cooker. You can cut the roast into
sections if you want to, but its not
necessary. I prefer an oblong slow
cooker for meat and poultry. I use
smaller, round slow cookers for
dips, desserts, soups, etc.
Regarding Crock-Pots versus
slow cookers: Crock-Pot is Rivals
brand of slow cooker. Ive only
owned two slow cookers in my life,
and theyre both Crock-Pots, so I
cant tell you if Crock-Pot is better
than any other brand. But I can
say that Ive been very happy with
them. As far as basic slow cookers
go, I suggest one with a manual
control versus a digital touch-pad
control (its cheaper), removable
crock (for ease of cleaning) and
glass lid (Im not sure if plastic
lids are still being made). If the
handles or knob are attached to the
lid by screws, youll want to check
them regularly to be sure theyre
tight. You may personally prefer
features such as automatic shutoff,
programmable settings, divided
dish (for multiple dishes) or an
insulated carry case, but those
features arent typically available
in a basic slow cooker.
Dear Sara: I have a wooden
kitchen table with ring-shaped
water stains on it. Do you have any
suggestions for removing them? --
Melody, New Hampshire
Dear Melody: Try rubbing
mayonnaise onto the water stains,
then wipe away the mayonnaise
with a damp cloth.
Dear Sara: Can you tell me how
to find an affordable prom dress? I
cant afford to shell out hundreds
for a formal dress for my daughter.
-- Jill S., New York
Dear Jill: You have plenty of
time to find an affordable dress.
Check thrift stores and online
resources such as Craigslist, eBay
and Freecycle. DonateMyDress.
org has listings of stores across
the country that take donated prom
dresses. These stores then rent
them out, give them away or sell
them at greatly reduced prices.
Dear Sara: I recently put too
much oatmeal in an oatmeal
cookie recipe. I tried adding butter
to compensate, but the batch still
didnt turn out. How would you
have fixed this problem? -- BJM,
email
Dear BJM: Id double the recipe,
using less oatmeal in the added
ingredients to make up for the
excess. If youre unsure exactly
how much excess oatmeal you
added in the first batch, Id start
with half the amount of oatmeal
called for (unless you know
you overdid it by a lot, in which
case Id start out with very little
oatmeal) and gradually add more
until its the right consistency. In
other words, estimate it. You could
always test it by baking a few. You
might discover that you like the
recipe with less or more oats, too.

Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
Man having fun
in golden years
Dear Annie: My 85-year-
old uncle, a widower, spends
several days a week at casi-
nos. This is no penny-ante
stuff. He gambled away
everything he ever owned
and had to move into subsi-
dized housing.
He is somewhat fatalistic
at this point, figuring he wont
live much longer and so he
wants to have fun. While we
recognize his right to spend
his money as he pleases, bank
statements indicate he is now
using credit cards at the casi-
nos. He has run up debt on
at least three cards, making
only the minimum
payments to keep
them active. He has
no estate left to
hold responsible for
debts after his death
and figures every-
thing will be written
off. He sees noth-
ing ethically wrong
with this.
So, who will get
stuck paying for the
$20,000 in credit
card debt when
he dies? Who pays for the
selfishness of his addiction?
Why do credit card compa-
nies continue to raise credit
limits for people his age, and
how do they not notice that
his charges are almost exclu-
sively coming from gambling
institutions? The casinos are
no help getting him to stop.
They send buses to pick him
up. Is there anything I can
do? -- Wish He Knew When
To Fold Em
Dear Wish: If your uncle
has no assets at the time of
his death, the debt would
likely be written off. He
could arrange to have himself
barred from entering casinos,
but he obviously doesnt want
to be rescued from his addic-
tion. Credit card companies
are in the business of extend-
ing credit, and casinos are in
the business of getting people
to gamble. They arent going
to be of assistance.
You can contact Gam-
Anon (gam-anon.org) for
support, but understand that
this becomes your problem
only if your uncle gambles
himself into destitution ear-
lier than expected and you
end up taking care of him.
Theres no point to being
angry and frustrated. You
dont have to admire your
uncle, but you can learn to
accept him as he is.
Dear Annie: My 2-year-
old daughter still sleeps with
my husband and me in our
bed, and this obviously is
putting a damper on our sex
life.
We have placed a big
girl bed in our bedroom, but
she wont use it. So we let
her fall asleep in our bed and
then transfer her to her own.
However, most of the time,
its so late that we fall asleep
without moving her. Or, she
wakes up in the middle of
the night, and my husband
puts her back in our bed.
Any suggestions? -- Want
My Privacy
Dear Want: Your daugh-
ter has learned that she is
entitled to sleep with Mommy
and Daddy. If you want a dif-
ferent result, you will need
to work at it. You cannot
simply fall asleep because
youre tired, or let her sleep
with you because its easier
than training her to sleep in
her own bed (preferably in
her own room).
This is simple behav-
ior modification. You will
need to place her in her bed
repeatedly. Shes going to
cry repeatedly. Be firm and
insistent, but not
angry. It will take
a long time to get
her to change her
sleep habits, and
every time you give
in, youll be starting
over from scratch.
Talk to your pedia-
trician about it, and
make sure your hus-
band is on board.
Dear Annie:
Frazzled said her
husband had an
affair 30 years ago and now
has a 17-year-old daughter
from that union. Forget the
morality of it. The scientific
aspect is amazing! The fact
that his sperm laid dormant
for nearly 13 years is whats
really important. Find out
how he did that, and you
will be able to replace cryo-
genics and make a fortune.
-- Curious Dave
Dear Dave: Very funny.
For the math obsessed,
Frazzled said her husband
had a long-term affair with
a 16-year-old girl that began
30 years ago. If the affair
lasted 13 years and he broke
things off when she became
pregnant, the daughter could

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2012
A couple of major changes could
be in store for you in the year ahead.
One could pertain to an excellent
career shift, while the other might
have to do with a change of residence.
Both could be rather unexpected.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) --
Its OK to take on a new project as
long as it doesnt interfere with what
you already have on your plate and
you can devote quality time to both.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- You may feel youre ably taking
care of something that you promised
friends youd handle, but if it doesnt
look that way to them, your pals will
feel manipulated.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
-- In order to achieve an important
assignment, you must give the powers
that be the impression that you are
totally dedicated to doing the job
right. Anything less will not go over
too well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --
Your associates are likely to have
a strong influence on your attitude
and performance. If they tend to be
negative thinkers, you will be one too.
Try to hang out with positive types.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It
doesnt matter if youre managing an
important financial matter for another
or for yourself, in both instances it
must be skillfully handled. Anything
less wont suffice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be
supportive of your mate instead of
locking horns. A lack of allegiance
may cause your spouse to behave
in a poor manner when you need
bolstering at a later date.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) --
Nothing constructive will result if you
attempt to get others to handle certain
responsibilities that are exclusively
yours. If you dont want to do these
tasks, why should your friends feel
differently?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec.
21) -- It might prove wise to reject
being treasurer for your club or a
group activity. If you have trouble
collecting the funds, you could get
blamed for the venture falling apart.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
-- Be as tactful and diplomatic as you
can when it comes to handling things
for your club. If youre not, youll
catch a lot of heat for being too pushy
and assertive.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
-- No matter how hard you try to be
purposeful and methodical, certain of
your projects might still look like they
were handled in a slipshod fashion.
Let others do some of the work.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) --
Try to make some kind of arrangement
to clear up an obligation you have to
a friend. Not only will small tokens
have a way of adding up, theyll make
your pal feel appreciated.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- Someone who is usually agreeable
might do an about-face and could
handle things in a manner that would
cause problems, just to get even with
you for ignoring him or her lately.

US Syria policy tacit nod to Assads grip
By ANNE GEARAN
AP National Security Writer
BRUSSELS Despite oft-repeated U.S.
demands that Syrian President Bashar Assad
step aside, the Obama administrations policy
now reflects a consensus that Assad has a
firm hold on power and that nothing short of
an outside military strike will dislodge him
quickly.
With rebel forces poorly armed and dis-
organized, efforts to pay them by Arab Gulf
states failing, and sectarian divisions looming
in Syria, the U.S. and its allies seem prepared
to leave Assad where he is. Even if he could
be ousted, the near future in Syria could
involve civil war among ethnic groups now
under Assads boot, or a slow and bloody war
with rebels or proxy fighters armed from the
outside.
The U.S. has edged toward supplying the
rebels with communications gear and other
nonlethal aid but has ruled out either a mili-
tary assault or a supply of heavy weaponry for
rebel forces.
We are at a crucial turning point, U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
said Wednesday.
Either a United Nations-brokered cease-
fire takes hold or we see Assad squandering
his last chance before additional measures
have to be considered, Clinton said.
But even as she implies tougher interna-
tional intervention, Clinton is not expected
to announce a shift in the U.S. stance dur-
ing a diplomatic huddle on Syria in Paris
today.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said
late Wednesday he still believes there could
be progress in Syria and recommended the
Security Council increase the number of
observers to 300.
In a letter obtained by The Associated
Press, Ban told the council he will consider
developments on the ground, including con-
solidation of the cease-fire, before decid-
ing on when to expand the mission beyond
the 250 observers initially envisioned. The
Security Council was scheduled to discuss
Bans letter and recommendations at a closed
meeting today morning.
The United States backs the cease-fire
between Assads forces and rebels, but the
deal also inherently acknowledges that Assad
controls the armed forces and holds the power
to suspend attacks on civilians and rebels.
The week-old cease-fire administered by
special envoy Kofi Annan was supposed to
allow greater humanitarian and other relief to
enter the country.
Syria has violated key provisions. Tanks,
troops and widely feared plainclothes security
agents continue to patrol the streets to deter
anti-government protests, while the regime
resumed its assault on rebellious Homs,
Syrias third-largest city, over the weekend
after only a brief lull.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said clashes broke out today in
Deir el-Zour, near the border with Iraq, kill-
ing one civilian and wounding three others.
Syrian troops also began shelling rebel-held
neighborhoods in Homs early today, accord-
ing to the Observatory.
U.S. officials regularly say Assad is no
longer a legitimate leader, but they hold no
direct leverage to make him leave, or even
make him listen to international condemna-
tion.
Assad must step down, U.S. Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta said this week. I
mean, we continue to take that position. At
the same time, I think, we believe that we
have to continue to work with the interna-
tional community to keep putting pressure on
Assad.
Even relatively harsh new sanctions on
Syria are a tacit admission that Assad isnt
going anywhere anytime soon. And the reb-
els are no closer to ridding the country of
him despite 13 months of fighting and 9,000
mostly civilian deaths.
Airport stripper nude not lewd
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP)
A high-tech worker who
stripped naked at Portland
International Airport as a pro-
test against airport security
screeners said Wednesday
he was being nude but not
lewd, and characterized his
act of defiance as protected
political speech.
John E. Brennan, 49, of
Portland was charged with dis-
orderly conduct and indecent
exposure after taking off far
more than this belt and shoes
during the screening process
before a Tuesday evening
flight to San Jose, Calif. The
incident report from the Port
of Portland, which operates
the airport, said some passen-
gers covered their eyes and the
eyes of their children. Others
laughed and took photos.
Brennan, in an interview
at his home, said he did not
arrive at the airport with the
intention of getting naked.
He said the Transportation
Security Administration
crosses the line between pri-
vacy and security. He decided
to protest after he was pulled
aside after going through
the metal detector and a pat
down, he said.
Port police officers arrest-
ed Brennan after he ignored
requests to get dressed.
The most effective way
to tell them Im not carrying a
bomb is take off my clothes,
Brennan said.
Authorities led Brennan
from the screening area with
a towel around his waist.
Brennan was transferred to a
downtown Portland jail and
released late Tuesday.
Brennan has criticized
TSA previously, saying on
Twitter last May that airport
security violated his privacy
during a pat-down in San
Jose. The tweet came after
intense criticism in 2010 over
the governments use of full-
body scanning machines and
invasive pat-downs in airport
security.
Annie Lindstrom, a
spokeswoman for the Port of
Portland, said two screening
lanes closed temporarily dur-
ing the incident, but there
were no flight delays.
This was not the first time
Brennan has undressed for
political reasons. In Portland,
the World Naked Bike Ride
attracts thousands each year
to protest oil dependence.
Brennan said he has ridden in
the event three times.
Brennan booked a flight
to San Jose for Wednesday
night, and had no plans to
protest.
Masterpiece
returns to Jewish
mans heirs
By GARY FINEOUT
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
U.S. authorities ended a more
than 70-year-old art drama
Wednesday by returning a
16th century masterpiece to
a Jewish mans heirs who
sought for years to reclaim the
painting wrested away during
World War II.
A grandson of Federico
Gentili di Giuseppe listened
in via teleconference from
London as American authori-
ties signed the documents
transferring over the Baroque
painting titled Christ
Carrying the Cross Dragged
by a Rogue.
You did right a wrong and
we are very grateful for that,
the grandson, Lionel Salem,
told U.S. officials assembled
in the federal courthouse in
Tallahassee.
U.S. officials seized the
painting last fall while waiting
for a federal judge to rule on
its ownership. After signing
over custody on Wednesday
to the family, the painting
was given to representatives
of Christies, the art auction
house.
The family announced that
Christies would sell the paint-
ing at an auction this June,
saying the art house has esti-
mated it could fetch as much
as $3.5 million.
Federico Gentili di
Giuseppe, an Italian of Jewish
descent, purchased the paint-
ing by Girolamo Romano,
an artist also known as
Romanino, at a 1914 auction
in Paris. The painting, which
is believed to date to1538,
depicts Christ, crowned with
thorns and wearing a copper
silk robe, carrying the cross
while being dragged along by
a rope.
The man amassed a large
collection of paintings that he
displayed at his home in Paris.
He died of natural causes a
few weeks before the Nazis
stormed into France in 1940,
which forced members of his
family to flee the country.
The work is believed to
have been among more than
70 paintings from Gentili di
Giuseppes collection auc-
tioned by the French Vichy
government in 1941, court
records indicate. Members
of the family who fled the
occupation have said the sale
was illegal and had sought the
paintings return.
Court records indicate that
some of the paintings auc-
tioned off were allegedly
bought by straw purchasers
on behalf of Nazi officials.
The famed Pinacoteca di
Brera museum in Milan, which
is owned by the Italian govern-
ment, acquired the Romanino
painting in 1998 but refused to
return it to the family.
Salem said Wednesday
that a Christies auction
house employee who visited
the Milan museum last year
saw the painting had been
lent out and called him. That
triggered an investigation that
involved Interpol, the U.S.
Immigration and Customs
Enforcements Homeland
Security Investigations and
the U.S. Attorneys office.
No charges for 11-year-old after girl dies
By GILLIAN FLACCUS
LONG BEACH, Calif.
Prosecutors declined to file
charges Wednesday against
an 11-year-old girl who
fought with a 10-year-old
schoolmate hours before the
younger girl died.
The death of Joanna
Ramos came after a fight
between two children that
ended with unintended and
tragic results, but no crime
was committed, the Long
Beach Police Department
said in a statement.
Police referred all inqui-
ries to the district attorneys
office. District attorney
spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons
said her office could not com-
ment on the decision because
the case involved a juvenile.
Joanna was pronounced
dead on Feb. 24, about six
hours after she tussled with
another girl in an alley near
her elementary school after
classes ended.
Her mother, Cecilia
Villanueva, said officials met
with the family Wednesday
morning, but she still knows
few details about the fight
and chose not to ask because
it was too painful.
Theres nothing they
can do thats going to bring
my daughter back, nothing.
Theres nothing I can do,
she said, choking back tears.
Villanueva said she felt
for the other girl.
Her life is not the same
anymore. Im not angry
because it could have hap-
pened to the girl instead of to
Joanna, she said.
The name of the other girl
has not been made public.
Joannas family previous-
ly told The Associated Press
that she underwent emergen-
cy surgery for a blood clot
on her brain and was resus-
citated several times before
she died.
Joannas older sis-
ter, Vanessa Urbina, said
Wednesday she was disap-
pointed about the decision.
The family knows little more
about what prompted the
fight than they did when it
happened nearly two months
ago, she said.
Theres nothing we can
do, but I want charges on
her, said Urbina, 17. She
killed my sister. She didnt
mean to kill her, but she
meant to hurt her.
The fight near Willard
Elementary didnt appear
to be especially violent, no
weapons were used, and nei-
ther girl was knocked to the
ground, police have said.
Joanna had a bloody nose
when she returned to her
after-school program, accord-
ing to witnesses, and had to
be picked up early by a rela-
tive because she didnt feel
well.
By the time Joanna got
home, she was complaining
of a headache and vomiting.
Before she passed out on
the familys couch, she told
her mother an 11-year-old
girl had punched her in the
head but refused to say more,
Villanueva previously told
the AP.
The coroners office
labeled the case a homicide
and said Joanna died of blunt
force trauma to the head.
The death shook the
school community at Willard
Elementary, located in a
working-class neighborhood
just a few miles from a more
affluent area of homes that
front a bluff overlooking the
Pacific Ocean.
Joanna, a bubbly girl who
loved soap operas and curl-
ing her long, dark hair, would
have turned 11 on March 12.
In her honor, the family went
to a local amusement park
as she had requested for her
birthday party, Urbina said.
Were taking it day by
day, she said. I just miss
her being here.
