Santorum eyes Wis. after win Candidate vows continued campaign GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Another victory in hand but still badly trailing rival Mitt Romney, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum vowed to continue his campaign despite an increasingly steep climb to the nomination.

Kansas tops UNC, to face Bucks Nothing personal, Roy. Tyshawn Taylor broke out of his slump in a big way Sunday, scoring 22 points and leading Kansas back to the Final Four with an 80-67 victory over former coach Roy Williams and top-seeded North Carolina. The second-seeded Jayhawks (31-6) will play Ohio State on Saturday in their first appearance in the Final Four since 2008, when they won the national championship.

Quake hits central Chile A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck central Chile Sunday night, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since the huge quake that devastated the area two years ago. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage. The quake struck at 7:30 p.m. about 16 miles (27 kilometers) northnorthwest of Talca, a city of more than 200,000 people where residents said the shaking lasted about a minute.

Even in the face of the political headwinds, the former Pennsylvania senator seemed unwilling to acknowledge it would take a dramatic change in momentum to deny Romney his turn as the GOP nominee. “Even though a lot of folks are

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is finding it hard to do what used to be easy. The Washington divide, hardened by election-year politics, has stifled the agendas of both parties, limiting lawmakers to below-the-radar bills and modest ambitions. Congress has followed one of its least productive years with a j u s t handful of measures, among them aid for traded i s - BOEHNER placed workers and patent reform. These bills hardly compare to the welfare overhaul, hike in the minimum wage and expanded access to health care that the last Democratic president, Bill Clinton, and a Republican Congress accomplished in 1996. Complicating the legislative process are emboldened conservatives, their ranks bolstered by the influx of tea partyers in 2010, who are determined to devolve power to the states. It’s a direct challenge to the role of the federal government. “I believe there is a broad range of programs from Medicaid to education to transportation that • See CONGRESS on Page 2

There have been no violent protests following the March 11 shootings in Kandahar province’s Panjwai district, but demands for justice on Afghan terms have been getting louder since Bales was flown out of the country to a U.S. military prison. Many Afghans in Kandahar have continued to argue that there must have been multiple gunmen and accused the U.S. government of using Bales as a scapegoat. U.S. investigators believe the gunman returned to his base after the first attack and later slipped away to kill again.

NEW YORK (AP) — After criminal sexual assault charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn dissolved last year in prosecutors’ doubts about his accuser’s reliability, she vowed to get her day in another court. The hotel maid’s civil case against the former International Monetary Fund chief is now nearing an important point, with a hearing set this week on Strauss-Kahn’s claim that immunity diplomatic should insulate him from the lawsuit. The hearing, the first in the case, isn’t intended to weigh the essence of housekeeper Nafissatou Diallo’s allegation that StraussKahn tried to rape her when she arrived to clean his luxury suite last May. The accusation put Strauss-Kahn, then a

carried out the pre-dawn attacks without drawing attention from any Americans on the base. Bales has been charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and other crimes and could face the death penalty if convicted. The families of the dead received the money Saturday at the governor’s office, said Kandahar provincial council member Agha Lalai. He and community elder Jan Agha confirmed the payout amounts. Survivors previously had received smaller compensation payments from Afghan officials — $2,000 for each death and $1,000 for each person wounded. Two U.S. officials confirmed that compensation had been paid but declined to discuss exact amounts, saying only that the payments reflected the devastating nature of the incident. The officials spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity of the subject. A spokesman for NATO and U.S. forces, Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, said only that coalition members often make compensation payments, but they are usually kept private. “As the settlement of claims is in most cases a sensitive topic for those who have suffered loss, it is usually a matter of agreement that the terms of the settlement remain confidential,” Cummings said. However, civilian death compensations are occasionally made public. In 2010, U.S. troops in Helmand province said they paid $1,500 to $2,000 if a civilian was killed in a military operation and $600 to $1,500 for a serious injury.

the floor in mid-February. Tea partyers — as well as the anti-tax Club for Growth — said $260 billion was too much money. Republicans from urban areas were upset by its treatment of transit funding. Some moderates opposed paying for the House plan with expanded oil drilling. The transit proposal has been dropped, but GOP leaders have still been unable to line up enough votes for passage. The House ban on earmarks has also hindered the effort to win over Republicans. Few, if any, Democrats are expected to support the bill because they weren’t consulted as it was drafted, and because they say it penalizes union workers and undermines environmental protections.

operation, but it is a distinction lost on many Afghans who see any civilian deaths as criminal. The provided compensation figures would mean that at least $866,000 was paid out in all. Afghan officials and villagers have counted 16 dead — 12 in the village of Balandi and four in neighboring Alkozai — and six wounded. The U.S. military has charged Bales with 17 murders without explaining the discrepancy. The 38-year-old soldier, who is from Lake Tapps, Wash., is accused of using his 9mm pistol and M-4 rifle to kill four men, four women, two boys and seven girls, then burning some of the bodies. The ages of the children were not disclosed in the charge sheet. Bales is being held in a military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. The mandatory minimum sentence if he is convicted is life imprisonment with the chance of parole. He could also receive the death penalty. Families of the dead declined to comment on any payments by U.S. officials on Sunday, but some said previously that they were more concerned about seeing the perpetrator punished than money. Kandahar is the birthplace of the Taliban and remains a dangerous area despite several offensives. In the latest violence, a bomb struck a joint NATO-Afghan foot patrol in Kandahar’s Arghandab district late Saturday, killing nine Afghans and one international service member, according to Shah Mohammad, the district administrator. Arghandab is a farming region just outside Kandahar city that has long provided refuge for Taliban insurgents. It was one of a number of communities around Kandahar city that were targeted in a 2010 sweep to oust the insurgency from the area.

Paid have a one-on-one debate.” Romney’s team, increasingly confident, dismissed the idea and the win. “Rick Santorum is like a football team celebrating a field goal when they are losing by seven touchdowns with less than a minute left in the game,” said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams, who crashed Santorum’s victory party here. On Sunday, Santorum shot back, saying the comments came from “a desperate campaign that has no message.” Santorum said voters are “looking for someone who’s going to win the election because they have better ideas, not because they’ve been able to pound their opponent into the ground with overwhelming negative ads. That’s why we won Louisiana last night and that’s why we’re going to do well in Wisconsin.” Neither Santorum nor Romney, who took a day off from campaigning, was in the state as Louisiana Republicans weighed in.

Severe Weather Week

Greetings from WDTN-TV and I’m Chief Storm Team 2! Meteorologist Brian Davis. The tornadoes we experienced on March 2 show that we already are off to an early severe weather season. The La Nina weather pattern we have experienced for the last two years can lead to an active thunderstorm pattern, and that appears to be the case. Our primary months for severe weather are April, May and June, but severe weather can happen any time of day and any month of the year. A tornado is a low probability, high impact event. Chances are, you will never experience a tornado. Even if you live in the heart of tornado alley, the chances that your house will be struck by a tornado are small. However, you need to be ready just in case. That is why you need to have a safety plan in place. Think of the safety plan as you do wearing a seat belt when you travel by car. There is only a low chance you will be in an accident, but the seat belt is your protection if you’re involved in a wreck. During school hours, listen to your principal and your teacher to direct you where to go. They have a safe plan for you. Like everything else we do, riding a bike, going on vacation, or even cooking in our homes, we have to have safety plans to keep us safe. WHEN A TORNADO OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS ISSUED Watches may be issued hours before a storm. The sky may be sunny when you first hear a tornado or severe thunderstorm watch. Remember, a watch just means that conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms and/or tornadoes. Check Weather Information Again: Don't be caught off guard! While watches may be issued before storms form, thunderstorms may be developing when the watch is posted, or thunderstorms may be ongoing and moving into the area. By checking the weather information again, you will be aware of what is going on around you. Turn to WDTN-TV for the latest conditions on Live Doppler 2X. Our website, wdtn.com, has county by

county radars to track what is happening in your specific area and robust, interactive regional radar that keeps tabs of any approaching storms not in our immediate vicinity. At night, a NOAA weather radio can be used to awake you should a watch (or warning) be issued. WHEN A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IS ISSUED Do not ignore severe thunderstorm warnings! Severe thunderstorm warnings often precede tornado warnings, providing you with extra time to prepare for a dangerous storm. If there's a severe thunderstorm headed your way, you should monitor it closely, especially if a tornado watch is also in effect. Move Indoors and Away From Windows: Again, do not ignore severe thunderstorm warnings. Severe thunderstorms can produce damaging straight-line winds and large hail. It is important to move inside a sturdy structure and stay away from windows. Monitor Weather Information Continuously on WDTN-TV, wdtn.com, or NOAA weather radio if you lose power or don't have television access. Severe thunderstorms can and do produce tornadoes. They also can generate as much damage as weak tornadoes and over a larger area. Whatever method you use to stay upto-date on severe weather information, make sure you do so. Being aware of what's going on around you is very important. WHEN A TORNADO WARNING IS ISSUED Tornado warnings contain information that lists the cities and towns in the path of a tornado. While we strive to provide the most detailed and accurate information possible, there may be occasions when your small town or community is in the path of a dangerous storm, but is not listed in the warning text or we don't verbally mention it. You should be cautious when using detailed forecasts of time and location. Because of the way radar works and how storms behave, these times and locations could be off by several minutes and

several miles. Allow yourself of plenty time to get to your tornado shelter. M o v e quickly! Don't waste valuable Brian Davis time by trying to see Chief Meteorologist the tornado. WDTN If you wait until you can see or hear it coming, it may be too late. Be sure you're dressed, and don't forget to wear sturdy shoes! Take your cell phone, car keys and identification with you. GET IN, GET DOWN, AND COVER UP! This is EXTREMELY important. If you are outside, get inside. If you're already inside, get as far into the middle of the building as possible. Get underground if possible. If you cannot, go to the lowest floor possible. Flying and falling debris are a storm's number one killer. Use pillows, blankets, coats, helmets, etc to cover up and protect your head and body from flying debris. DO NOT seek shelter under a highway overpass. They are not safe! DO NOT open doors or windows. This does not help! DO NOT go outside to find the tornado, even if you think it's far away! Storm Team 2 also offers up an informative, interactive weather blog that’s updated daily by each of the meteorologists.

WEATHER’S EFFECTS ON HISTORY Weather effects many events in your life, so it’s not surprising that it affects world affairs, too. Many of the events in history might have been different had the weather been different. For instance, many people think a violent storm, perhaps a hurricane, caused the Mayflower to land in New England instead of Virginia, its destination. Some historians blame bad weather for Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo and the defeat of the Spanish Armada by England. Weather sense has been an important advantage throughout history. It was superior knowledge of the winds that allowed Christopher Columbus to sail to the New World and back. George Washington used his weather knowledge to plan artillery movements during the Revolutionary War. In World War II, both Germans and Allies took advantage of favorable weather. The Allies made use of calm weather on the day of the Normandy invasion. Likewise, the Germans knew a woof stormy weather in December 1944 would keep Allied planes on the ground, giving them a chance to attack. Bad weather hampered the Allies more than once that year. If it hadn’t, the war might have ended sooner than it did.

Using your weather knowledge, try to predict the day’s weather from conditions you observe when you get up in the morning. Do this everyday for a week or two. Compare your forecast with the daily newspaper forecast. How similar are the two? Which forecast was more accurate? Record or observations in a notebook or journal.

warning — something that serves to warn, give notice, or caution

EELGYTROOOM Make Your Own Barometer A barometer can help you measure changes in air pressure that indicate an approaching storm. Here’s how to make a simple one. What you need: • A saucer • A plastic soda bottle • Water • An index card 1. Fill the saucer halfway with water. Pour water into the bottle until it’s about 3/4 full.

2. Keeping your thumb on the mouth of the bottle, turn it upside down. Remove your thumb and quickly place the mouth of the bottle into the saucer of water. 3. Paste a strip of the index card on the outside of the bottle. The water level inside the bottle will drop slightly and then settle. After that, it will move up and down as the air pressure changes. Put a mark on the index card to show the level of the water once it settles. After that, you’ll be able to tell whether the air pressure is changing by the changing level of the water. Increasing air pressure causes the water level to rise; decreasing air pressure is one sign of warmer, rainier weather on the way. (This activity is from Simple Weather Experiments With Everyday Materials by Murial Mandell.)

We want to hear from you! Do additional research about thunderstorms and create a thunderstorm safety poster using words, photos, and graphics from the newspaper. To further illustrate your thoughts, include a newspaper photo of an activity that is unsafe during a thunderstorm and one that is safe. Bring your poster into your local newspaper office to be entered into a give-away for 2 Jumpy’s Coupons and 2 Free McDonald’s Meals.

Stormy weather: A look at depressions, fronts, thunder, and lightning A summer storm may pass through quickly, clearing the air, or it may bring violent winds and damaging hail. In winter, a storm may dump many inches of snow on an area or leave trees, grass, and roads covered with ice. A storm is basically any disturbance of the atmosphere accompanied by winds. A storm may bring rain, snow, hail, sleet, or thunder and lightning.

WARM FRONT

The making of a storm In the world’s mid-latitude regions, large masses of high-pressure air usually bring good weather. Low-pressure areas bring storms of all kinds. Any low-pressure area can form a depression, another name for a low-pressure system.

WARM FRONT

Because the prevailing winds in the United States are from the west, depressions usually move from west to east across the country. The cold, dry air masses moving north from the tropics come together in a depression. When the air masses meet, the warm air rises above the cold air. As cold air flows in to replace the warm air, winds start to swirl around the low-pressure

Josh Franklin’s Far Out Family Blog Written by Steven Coburn-Griffis Illustrated by Isaac Schumacher Chapter Ten: Week Ten Here’s the last of Uncle Ethan’s letters: November 11, 1864 Dear Wilf, I am sitting on a hill in the state of Georgia watching a whole city burn. I have witnessed terrible deeds, seen horrors that no one should ever have to see. I do believe, though, that this may well prove the saddest. Even so, had I to do this again, I would. We were taught, Wilf, you and I, that men are men, no matter their appearance. This I do believe. I also hold dear the sentiment that all men deserve freedom and the opportunity to make what they can from the life they have been given. From this, all of this, it is my sincere hope that the follies of our past will have washed away. I pray for that with all my heart. When this is finally done, I want nothing more than to return home, to watch the sun rise and set on our fields. I am done with all of this fighting. But there is yet tomorrow and undoubtedly tomorrows beyond that which will hear the cannon and the drum. Tell Ma that I hope to see her soon. Tell Da that I am not afraid. Ethan There’s something you need to know. When I said “here’s the last of Uncle Ethan’s letters,” that’s just what I meant. He died on November 17, 1864, within a week of the burning of Atlanta. Those were the last words he ever wrote. So there are no distant relations I can call up or text or whatever to see what they know.

And Uncle Ethan wasn’t the only one. So many soldiers died, both Union and Confederate, that no one’s really sure exactly how many. Over 600,000; that much they do know. Probably not more than 620,000. That’s such a crazy big number. I’m trying to imagine it, but it’s like looking up at the stars and trying to count them. There are just too many. Too many stars. Too many bodies. And all of that in just four short years. The first shots of America’s Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, in South Carolina and the war ended on April 18, 1865, in Appomattox Court House, Virginia, when the Confederacy surrendered. And here we are, a little more than one hundred and fifty years after the war started. We still have racism, and we have it from both sides. We still have people pointing fingers and shaking fists and shouting some really horrible things. We still have hate crimes and violence and murder. But I do believe these United States of America are a better place than they were then. And I do believe that it’s getting better all the time. I think that most people are honestly trying to do the right thing. And I think that if you could ask him, Uncle Ethan would think so, too.

the warm front forms a gradual slope, this bad weather may continue for several days until the front passes. Although the weather might clear up for a while after the warm front passes, the worst is yet to come. A cold air mass soon moves in on the heels of the warm air. Cold air nosing in under a mass of warm air creates a different type of front called a cold front. In a cold front, the slope where the air masses meet is much steeper, and the storms that result, while they pass more quickly, are more severe. The cold air helps push the warm air up sharply, so that strong updrafts (upwardly moving air currents) form. These updrafts can cause violent winds and heavy rains all along the front in a squall line. Depending on the conditions, a cold front may give birth to heavy thunderstorms or even tornadoes. All the elements of weather must combine in certain ways for a storm to occur. Air masses of different temperatures must collide, and enough moisture must be present for precipitation to form. A low-pressure system can form and pass over an area without causing a storm if the difference in temperature between air masses is slight and there is little moisture. The greater the difference in temperature and the more moisture, the greater the severity of the storm. If the difference in temperature is slight, the result might be nothing more than a soft breeze. A thunderstorm may also occur by convection, when moist air is heated by the hot ground, rises, cools, and creates huge cumulonimbus clouds full of water droplets. When the water droplets become heavy enough, they fall in a heavy, though usually brief, thundershower.

region, cold air following warm. Soon, the system has a zone of warm air rising in a gradual slope over a sea of cold air. The place where the cold and warm air meet is called a front. A system in which warm air rises over a wedge of cold air is called a warm front. Along this front, as the warm air rises and its moisture condenses, rain or drizzle occurs. Since

CHAPTER TEN: QUESTIONS & ACTIVITIES Josh mentioned many civil War figures from Ohio, but he didn’t go into detail about them. Pretend that you are a newspaper reporter living during the Civil War. You have the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with one of the most influential people living during that time. Make a list of reporter's questions to ask the person, then conduct research to answer the questions. To extend the activity, have two friends role play an interview and the rest write a feature story based on what happens. General Sherman took his army from Atlanta to the sea at Savannah, Georgia, but the march continued all the way to Columbia, South Carolina. This part of his miltary career was also recorded as his "scorched earth" campaign and his March to the Sea. On November 15, 1864 he cut the last telegraph wire that linked him to his superiors in the North. Why would he have risked that lack of communication? Why did he feel it necessary to destroy everything in the path? Blogs are the core of what has come to be called personal publishing. But a blog adds to the form of the journal diary because a blog uses technology that gives the writer (blogger) the capacity to link to new and useful resources for their readers. Think of it this way: a blog looks outwards to others and a journal looks inward through the personal thoughts and experiences of the writer. What are some of the resources or types of information that Josh could in link to that would help his teacher and readers find out more about his subject? Your newspaper’s web site may include an editor’s blog for your to consider.

ANALYSIS

The GOP race is now lining up for Romney WASHINGTON (AP) — It hasn’t been pretty, but the Republican establishment, the delegate math, the money and more are increasingly lining up in Mitt Romney’s favor in the long and grinding race for the party’s presidential nomination. The race will go on. Romney’s most dogged rival, Rick Santorum, is all but certain to claim more victories before the primary season ends. And an astonishing admission Wednesday by one of Romney’s top aides that primary-season policy positions may be no more lasting than squiggles on a child’s Etch A Sketch drawing toy will hardly reassure Republicans skeptical about his commitment to the cause of conservatism. “Everything changes” for the fall campaign, said Eric Fehrnstrom, prompting Romney himself to try and limit the political damage. “The policies and the positions are the same,” he said. Still, Romney’s Illinois primary victory provided fresh evidence of electoral strength, produced a big delegate haul and paid an overnight dividend in the form of an endorsement from Jeb Bush. “Now is the time for Republicans to unite behind Governor Romney and take our message of fiscal conservatism and job creation to all voters this fall,” said the former Florida governor, the man most often mentioned as a last-minute savior for the party, who could swoop into a deadlocked convention and emerge with the nomination. Former Sen. Bob Dole, a Romney supporter, summarized Santorum’s position from the point of view of a man who lost his first try for the nomination before winning on the second. “In every race, Romney is going to pick up delegates. Looking back at my race in 1988 … I should have gotten out, but I just kept going out there,” Dole said. “When you’re out of money and you don’t have the organization to buy TV, you have to take a hard look at it. As much as you don’t want to do that, sometimes you have to face reality.” Much has changed since Dole last ran for the White House in 1996, including the emergence of super PACs that are allowed to raise money in unlimited amounts. That, too, is working to Romney’s advantage. So far, he has benefitted from more than $32 million in television ads from Restore Our Future, the entity that played the major role in wiping out Newt Gingrich with attack ads in the days before the Iowa caucuses and again in the Florida primary. More recently it has turned its attention to Santorum. For comparison purposes, the $32 million is more money than Santorum, Gingrich and Ron Paul plus super PACs supporting them have spent combined on television, and may be the reason Romney has been able to avoid dipping into his own personal fortune so far in the campaign. Additionally, campaign finance reports released Tuesday showed that big donors to a GOP organization founded by political strategist Karl Rove have boosted their financial support for the Romneyaligned super PAC in recent months. It’s taken months, far longer than anticipated, for Romney to begin to take charge of a race that he began with overwhelming financial and organizational advantages. His record as a Massachusetts governor, particularly his embrace of a requirement for state residents to purchase health insurance, has made it hard for him to win over doubting conservatives in the South and elsewhere. “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs,” he blurted out in one appearance, one of several utterances that suggest he doesn’t quite understand the financial woes facing millions of Americans in the wake of the worst recession in decades.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Ottawa Sun on Afghanistan: After the repatriation in caskets of 157 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan, and the investment of taxpayer millions, it would be nice to know for sure whose side Afghan President Hamid Karzai is on. But that has never been certain. International forces in Afghanistan, including Canadian troops who remain as trainers, might have

expected Karzai to temper his rhetoric following … (the) killing (of) 16 innocent civilians, including children, in southern Afghanistan. “This is an assassination,” he said. “This is an intentional killing of innocent civilians, and cannot be forgiven.” It was much the same a month ago when, despite apologies from U.S. President Barack Obama that the burning of the Quran was unintentional, Karzai fanned the flames of outraged Afghans by

refusing to accept that explanation and asking for calm among his people. As a result, the burning of those copies of the Quran sparked weeks of riots and spontaneous violence that left approximately 30 Afghans dead, and six U.S. servicemen killed by their fellow Afghan soldiers. It is another black eye for Uncle Sam. But it also helps to know who your friends are, especially in perpetually wartorn places like Afghanistan.

DOONESBURY

Pear trees easy on the eyes, hard on the nose This town really stinks. Does that sound a little bit harsh? Maybe I should explain. I’m not talking about Troy in general or the people of Troy (at least, not most of them). I’m talking about two weeks or so every spring, when the town … well, it smells bad. And it’s all due to Pyrus Calleryana … better known as the Bradford pear tree. When I was a boy growing up in Troy, I don’t remember seeing many of these trees around. Somewhere along the way, though, the residents of Troy suffered from some kind of Bradford pear mania. They started planting the trees all over the place. Entire streets in neighborhoods are lined with them. Hobart Brothers put them along Main Street in front of the company’s factory. The attraction is they have beautiful blooms every spring. The problem is, the blooms smell like someone brought a crate load of old carp up from the Miami River and dumped them in your yard. There’s no getting around it, the trees just

David Lindeman Troy Daily News Columnist smell bad. You certainly must have noticed the trees blooming last week when summer arrived in town three months early. They were out in all their glory, which is great if you’re driving down the street with your windows up or flying overhead in an airplane. It’s not so great if you’re walking or riding a bike down a street where the trees are everywhere. So why does something that looks so good smell so bad? About the best answer I can come up with is that the smell attracts insects, which pollinate the plant. It apparently smells good to insects. This is no consolation to a human like me, who finds the spring

smells of lilacs or viburnum or star magnolia slightly more preferable than the putrifying odor of a Bradford pear. If it helps (and it probably doesn’t), we’re not the only ones who have this problem. I stumbled across a year-old story about a debate on the campus of California State University-Northridge. It seems members of the college administration thought it would be nice to have some flowering trees around the library, so they ordered up a bunch of Bradford pears. They obviously never visited here, because they didn’t know the trees smelled like a chemistry experiment gone bad. There was a debate among students about whacking down the trees to get rid of the smell. I’m not sure how that turned out, but I do know that if the students have patience nature will take care of it for them. The trees are notoriously top heavy, and when they get big even a breeze will send large portions of them crashing to the ground (never park your

new car under a Bradford pear tree). The trees generally live only around 30 years or so, which means if your conscience would bother you for chopping down a healthy tree, you can just wait it out. Either the tree goes and you can replace it, or you go first and then what does it matter? I’m not for any kind of Bradford tree ethnic cleansing. I mean, if we wiped out people just because they didn’t smell all that good or look quite right, there would hardly be anyone left. I just plan on holding my breath for a few more days until the trees drop their blooms, then everything will be OK again. But I do have a suggestion. Next time you decide to plant an ornamental tree? Plant … something … else. Insects with odd olfactory systems might not like it, but humans like me will thank you.

House GOP budget plan heats up as campaign issue WASHINGTON (AP) — The new debtslashing budget plan pushed by House Republicans heated up as a presidential campaign issue Sunday as the proposal’s architect, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, sparred with top Democrats over its political fallout and downplayed the possibility he could be tapped as a vice presidential candidate. Senior White House adviser David Plouffe dismissed the GOP plan Sunday as “a lot of candy, not a lot of vegetables,” and charged that it would be “rubber-stamped” as law if leading Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is elected. “This is really the Romney-Ryan plan,” Plouffe said, adding that its mix of acrossthe-board tax cuts and stiff budget cuts “showers huge tax cuts on millionaires and billionaires paid for by senior and veterans.” Ryan tried to tamp down speculation that he could be tapped for the No. 2 spot on the GOP ticket, although who will be the nominee is far from settled. “I would have to consider it, but it’s not something I’m even thinking about right now because right — I think our job in Congress is pretty important,” Ryan said. “And what we believe we owe the country is, if we don’t like the direction the president is taking us, which we don’t, we owe them a specific sharp contrast and a different path that they can select in November. And doing this in Congress is really important.” The House GOP debt-reduction plan, unveiled last week with minimal Democratic congressional support, is quick-

ly sharpening as a line of division for the fall campaign, pitting GOP and tea party pressure for a reined-in budget against White House and Democratic party alarms about a weakened Medicare system and tax relief for the wealthy. “This is a sharp, clear difference with two different futures,” Ryan said. Despite growing signs that the U.S economy is struggling back to life, Ryan threw down a marker for the fall national election, saying that the GOP plan is the only alternative to a looming debt crisis versus Obama’s “path of debt and decline.” The GOP proposal — endorsed by Romney last week during a meeting with GOP congressional leaders — would slice $5.3 trillion from President Barack Obama’s budget over the coming decade through tax reforms and sweeping program cuts. The plan aims to shrink U.S. deficits by $3.1 trillion over the next decade, reducing tax burdens while cutting Medicaid payments and shifting oversight to states and sharply cutting other domestic programs.

Senators ask feds to probe requests for passwords Question of legality in practice SEATTLE (AP) — Two U.S. senators are asking Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate whether employers asking for Facebook passwords during job interviews are violating federal law, their offices announced Sunday. Troubled by reports of the practice, Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said they are calling on the Department of Justice and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to launch investigations. The senators are sending letters to the heads of the agencies. The Associated Press reported last week that some private and public agencies around the country are asking job seekers for their social media credentials. The practice has alarmed privacy advocates, but the legality of it remains

murky. On Friday, Facebook warned employers not to ask job applicants for their passwords to the site so they can poke around on their profiles. The company threatened legal action against applications that violate its long-standing policy against sharing passwords. A Facebook executive cautioned that if an employer discovers that a job applicant is a member of a protected group, the employer may be vulnerable to claims of discrimination if it doesn’t hire that person. Personal information such as gender, race, religion and age are often displayed on a Facebook profile — all details that are protected by federal employment law. “We don’t think employers should be asking prospective employees to provide their passwords because we don’t think it’s the right thing to do. While we do

not have any immediate plans to take legal action against any specific employers, we look forward to engaging with policy makers and other stakeholders, to help better safeguard the privacy of our users,” Facebook said in a statement. Not sharing passwords is a basic tenet of online conduct. Aside from the privacy concerns, Facebook considers the practice a security risk. “In an age where more and more of our personal information — and our private social interactions — are online, it is vital that all individuals be allowed to determine for themselves what personal information they want to make public and protect personal information from their would-be employers. This is especially important during the job-seeking process, when all the power is on one side of the fence,” Schumer said in a statement.

Specifically, the senators want to know if this practice violates the Stored Communications Act or the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Those two acts, respectively, prohibit intentional access to electronic information without authorization and intentional access to a computer without authorization to obtain information. The senators also want to know whether two court cases relating to supervisors asking current employees for social media credentials could be applied to job applicants. “I think it’s going to take some years for courts to decide whether Americans in the digital age have the same privacy rights” as previous generations, American Civil Liberties Union attorney Catherine Crump said in a previous interview with the AP. The senators also said they are drafting a bill to fill in any gaps that current laws don’t cover.

Maryland and Illinois are considering bills that would bar public agencies for asking for this information. In California, Democratic Sen. Leland Yee introduced a bill that would prohibit employers from asking current employees or job applicants for their social media user names or passwords. That state measure also would bar employers from requiring access to employees’ and applicants’ social media content, to prevent employers from requiring logins or printouts of that content for their review. Massachusetts, state In Democratic Rep. Cheryl CoaklyRivera also filed a similar bill Friday that also expands to include personal email. Her measure also bars employers from “friending” a job applicant to view protected Facebook profiles or using similar methods for other protected social media websites.

Family members of fire victims receive comfort CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — As Talma Isabell coped with the crushing heartache of losing her daughter and five grandchildren in a house fire that killed nine people in all, several dozen people surrounded the woman and her family at church Sunday with their arms raised and their heads bowed in prayer. Seven children and two adults died in the early Saturday blaze in Charleston, about 11 miles east of the church. Isabell’s daughter, 26-year-old Alisha Carter-Camp, had celebrated her birthday at the home the night before her death. Isabell and several relatives gathered at Maranatha Fellowship Church in St. Albans on Sunday, getting hugs and prayers from fellow worshippers. Just a few hours before, the fire claimed its ninth vic-

tim, a 7-year-old boy who died after being removed from life support at a hospital. Pastor Darren Powell described how he went to the hospital a few hours after the fire to be with Isabell. He said there was little he could do or say, but told her he wanted to let her know the family was in the church’s prayers. “She said, ‘Pastor, I’m standing on my foundation, Jesus Christ,’” Powell said. “I’m telling you, I went there trying to be a help and encouragement, and instead, she encouraged me.” Powell then thanked Isabell for her strength, courage and faith. “In the midst of tragedy and turmoil, you are being a great witness for your king and your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Powell said. Later, Powell quoted Bible verses dealing with challenges and adversity.

Powell also asked parishioners for donations to help with funeral costs. And at the Charleston hotel where Carter-Camp worked at the front desk for six months, hotel administrative assistant Kathy Mullins said donations are being collected that will be given to the family. The blaze tore through the two-story home hours after the last guest had left Carter-Camp’s 26th birthday party. Jason Bausley said Carter-Camp was his niece and that she rented the home. Her sister, Latasha Jones Isabell, lived there along with the sisters’ children. Neighbors say Latasha Jones Isabell was smoking a cigarette outside, noticed the fire and raced to a nearby home to summon help. The cause remains under investigation.

Investigators sift through debris in the aftermath of a house fire on Saturday. Police released the names of the victims Saturday but didn’t know how they were related. On Sunday, Bausley identified the victims as Carter-Camp and two of her children, Keahna Camp, 8; and Jeremiah Camp, 3; Carter-Camp’s boyfriend, Alex Seal, age unknown; and Seal’s 3-year-old daughters, Kiki and Gigi.

Also killed were Latasha Isabell’s children, Elijah Scott, 3, and Emanuel Jones, 18 months, Bausley said. On Sunday, there was more reason to grieve: Carter-Camp’s 7-year-old son, Bryan Timothy Camp, was removed from life support between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. Sunday, said Charleston Police Sgt. Bobby Eggleton.

With two years separating the sisters, Bausley said the pair had been virtually inseparable since they were children. Lisa, as Carter-Camp was known, always was teased about having her younger sister with her. “Lisa’s just always felt obligated to look out for Tasha,” Bausley told The Associated Press.

Ohio Vision,

Protect your eyes from the sun. Exposure to a lot of sun in a short period of time can result in photokeratitis. This temporary condition can leave you with red and itchy or gritty-feeling eyes, tearing, and sensitivity to light. Repeated exposure to direct sunlight can predispose a person to develop cataracts or macular degeneration. To avoid all of these vision problems, the solution is simple: wear sunglasses or a visor when outdoors or driving.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Couples counseling may be a good idea Dear Annie: I am 32 years old and live with my girlfriend, "Sarah," who is 37. We have been together for eight months. Things were great in the beginning, but lately the relationship has been going south. There is an ex-boyfriend who won't leave the picture, and Sarah is partly to blame. When he sends texts or calls, she deletes them so I can't see what he wrote. She'll tell me she is out with her girlfriends, when I know she is actually meeting up with the ex. She claims she no longer has any interest in him, but he still seems to weasel his way into her head. Sarah recently lost her job and rarely comes to bed with me. She stays up all night doing craft projects and goes to bed when I get up for work. I love her, and she says she loves me. I asked her to marry me, and she said yes, but only when she is happy with herself again. What does this mean? Am I wasting my time? — Just Want To Be Loved in Ohio Dear Ohio: We think you and Sarah began living together before you were ready. Sarah is still interested in her exboyfriend, even if it's only as an escape hatch. It does not mean she doesn't care for you. Rather, it was too much, too soon, and she is not ready to commit to you. If you plan to marry Sarah and she is willing, please get some couples counseling and work on this. You may need to take a few giant steps back. Dear Annie: I've been engaged for almost a year, and the wedding is in December. My fiance was recently laid off, and we decided it would be more cost effective to move in together and take care of one home instead of two. However, I've begun to realize that I am not simply the only one working. I am also the only one doing anything at our place. Sometimes my job requires me to work 12 hours or more, and then I come home to a dirty house and no food to eat. When I ask my fiance what's for dinner, he says, "Whatever you decide to cook." I am not his mother, nor am I his maid. I love my guy dearly, but if he doesn't get it together, there may not be a wedding in December. — Ms. Fed Up Dear Fed Up: We cannot convey strongly enough how important it is to settle this type of thing before you marry, because it is not going to suddenly resolve itself afterward. Explain to your fiance that you expect him to contribute his share to the upkeep of the house. We assume he spends part of his time looking for a job. But he also needs to be doing some of the housework, grocery shopping, laundry and general maintenance. Dinner can be a joint effort. If he refuses, please consider this a prelude to your married life together. Dear Annie: Your female readers often say that the use of bioidentical hormones and testosterone was the key to changing their libido. I, too, tried these hormones, for more than four years without a boost. The doctor kept "tweaking" the formula to no avail. But for those of us who couldn't care less about sex, I sometimes wonder whether it's totally hormonal. Here are two questions that need to be pondered: Are you still attracted to your husband? Do you still respect him? I love my husband, but he is not my best friend. His selfishness over the years has had an impact on my feelings toward him. I make an effort to be intimate because it is important to the relationship, and I always go the extra mile to make our interconnection feel good. If he could do the same once in a while, I'm sure my libido would improve. — Maybe It's Not Just Hormones Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News. SATURDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

What is the most effective way to clean laminate flooring? Dear Heloise: What is the best way to clean laminate flooring? Mine seems sticky after I clean it. — Debbie C., via email Debbie, I am happy to help! If you are using a cleaner or wax on your floor, that is probably what is leaving the sticky residue. Use a dust mop or electric sweeper to remove dirt and grit frequently. Then using a damp mop every so often should be all you need. Be careful about the amount of water you use. Too much can warp the laminate. Use a clean, dry cloth to go over the floor after you mop to remove any excess water.

Hints from Heloise Columnist Never use wax, polish or anything that can scratch the floor, like a scouring pad. Check with your manufacturer for what it recommends. Some market-specific cleaners for laminate floors clean without leaving a film. — Heloise P.S.: Some manufacturers say to use vinegar and water,

and others say not to, so you should check so that you don’t void the warranty. FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Have these items on hand for easy meal fixes: • Chicken or beef broth. • Canned tomatoes. • Rice or instant potatoes. • Onions. • Bread crumbs. Want to know some great recipes to make in a pinch? Order my pamphlet Heloise’s Main Dishes and More. Send $3 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (65 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Main Dishes, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-

5001. Whenever possible, make extra potatoes and rice. You can refrigerate them and use a few days later as a side dish or in a casserole. — Heloise ZIPPER HELPER Dear Heloise: I have a pair of pants for which the zipper will not stay up. My friend taught me a trick that she learned. Take an old key ring and thread it through the zipper pull on your pants. Then when you zip up your zipper, loop the key ring around the button before you button your pants. The key ring is hidden, and your zipper stays up all day. Hope this helps! — Shayna from Colorado

ARLO AND JANIS

HOROSCOPE Monday, March 26, 2012 Realizing that you don’t have to take a backseat to anyone, your personal potential will be uppermost in your mind in the year ahead. It’s a time when you’ll be coming of age both literally and figuratively. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Your instincts for exploiting opportunities to make or save money are keener than usual. You might not make a killing, but you will use your funds extremely well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — It behooves you to be a good listener when a normally quiet friend is in a talkative mood. What he or she has to say could be extremely valuable. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — When it comes to competitive career involvements, it isn’t likely to be who you know but what you know that counts. Whoever is best prepared will be the victor. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Friends are apt to find you a delightful person to be around. It will become very obvious to them that their conversation and ideas will be well received by you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Something that might be of little interest to others but is of enormous importance to you can successfully produce a large profit, all because you have the motivation to take action. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Let your companions have the same freedom of choice that you would like. If this simple rule is followed, everyone will end up being happy and in a convivial mood. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Instead of focusing primarily on your own affairs, you might have to allocate some time and energy to someone else’s projects or problems. Don’t begrudge them your time or effort. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The company you keep will exert a big influence over the way you look at the world. Try to spend your free time with companions who know how to enjoy life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you might not be able to wrap up all the little odds and ends from last week that you might like to, you can substantially reduce them if you make an effort. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’s best not to wait until the last minute to make an arrangement with another party, because the person with whom you’d like to get together is apt to make other plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Even if it isn’t too likely that you will come across a super bargain, you should nevertheless be a comparison shopper. Those small amounts you save will add up impressively. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Although mental endeavors may not be too tough for you, physical involvements could tire you out quickly. Don’t press yourself beyond your normal endurance. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

Quake hits central Chile; no reports of deaths SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A magnitude-7.1 earthquake struck central Chile Sunday night, the strongest and longest that many people said they had felt since the huge quake that devastated the area two years ago. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage. The quake struck at 7:30 p.m. about 16 miles (27 kilometers) northnorthwest of Talca, a city of more than 200,000 people where residents said the shaking lasted about a minute. Buildings swayed in Chile’s capital 136 miles (219 kilometers) to the north, and people living along a 480mile (770-kilometer) stretch of Chile’s central coast were briefly warned to head for higher ground. Residents were particularly alarmed in Constitucion, where much of the coastal downtown at the mouth of a river was obliterated by the tsunami caused by the 8.8-magnitude quake in 2010.

Panic also struck in Santiago and other cities, with people running out of skyscrapers, and many neighborhoods were left partly or totally without electrical power. Phone service collapsed due to heavy traffic. “We hope there’s been no damage to people,” said Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter, who was serving as acting president while Sebastian Pinera is on tour in Asia. Hinzpeter said authorities were conducting a thorough survey of the affected regions to look for damage. The Chilean navy’s hydrographic and oceanographic service and the national emergency office called off the tsunami warning shortly after an analysis showed the quake wasn’t the type to provoke a tsunami. But many coastal residents were staying away from the shore nevertheless, remembering how the government said there would be no tsunami just before huge waves struck after the

Congregants wear hoodies, remember Trayvon Martin EATONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Wearing hooded sweatshirts similar to the one that Trayvon Martin wore on the night he was killed, many preachers and worshippers echoed calls for justice Sunday in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager in Florida last month. The one-month anniversary of Martin’s death is Monday. He was shot while wearing a “hoodie” as he walked home on a rainy night in a gated community. The neighborhood watch volunteer who shot him, 28-year-old George Zimmerman, is the son of a white father and Hispanic mother, and the demands to charge him in Martin’s slaying have grown ever louder. He had called police to report the hooded figure as suspicious; the 17-yearold Martin was carrying a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea, talking to his girlfriend on his cellphone.

In African-American and other religious centers from Florida to Atlanta, New York and Chicago, messages from pulpits couldn’t help but touch on a seemingly avoidable tragedy that continues to be rife with more questions than answers. But while the call continued for the arrest of Zimmerman, there were also pleas to use the incident to spark a larger movement. “How do we turn pain into power?” the Rev. Jesse Jackson asked a standingroom only congregation of hundreds while preaching at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Eatonville, Fla., about 20 miles from the site of the Sanford shooting. “How do we go from a moment to a movement that curries favor?” Jackson preached a sermon entitled “The Substance of Things Hoped For.”

2010 quake, killing 156 of the 524 victims of that disaster. And as aftershocks rattled the region, many people living inland didn’t want to go back inside their homes, either. State television reported that parts of the ceiling fell from a church in Maipu, west of Santiago, slightly injuring some parishioners. Similar problems were reported with the roof of a shopping mall in La Florida, south of the capital. State copper giant Codelco said its mines were functioning normally. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred 19 miles (30 kilometers) deep. It was the second significant quake in as many days for central Chile, where people were shaken awake Saturday morning by a 5.1magnitude temblor that caused no major damage or injuries even though its epicenter was in metropolitan Santiago.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

NBA-like display

15 March 26, 2012

Wildcats blitz Baylor, reach Final 4 ATLANTA (AP) — Kentucky is taking its highlight show back to the Big Easy. With an NBA-like display from a young team filled with future pros, top-seeded Wildcats advanced to the Final Four for the second year in a row with a 82-70 blitzing of Baylor in the South Regional final on Sunday. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist scored 19 points, Anthony Davis added 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Terrence Jones dazzled in all the overlooked areas, leading the Wildcats (36-2) to a Bluegrass showdown with rival Louisville in the national semifinals next Saturday at New Orleans. For all the hoopla sure to sur-

round that game in the basketball-crazed state, Kentucky won’t consider the season a success unless it wins two more games culminating in a national title. “This team is playing for you and playing for each other,” coach John Calipari told the predominantly blue-clad crowd when it was over. “Let’s see if we can keep this thing rolling a bit.” This group sure has the look of a champion, shaking off an early blow by the Bears (30-8) a very good team with a daring AP PHOTO fashion sense that was simply no Kentucky’s Anthony Davis (23) and Baylor’s Perry Jones III (1) match for Calipari’s latest group

Senior Reid Wynkoop returns for the Troy tennis team this season.

Among the best Trojans lose Gupta, bring back talent BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com

Stewart takes race in Fontana

Not every team has to cope with the loss of a player that led the way for the last four years. That’s exactly what the Troy Trojans must do. But even with the graduation of four-year first singles player Raja Gupta, the Trojans bring back plenty of experience and depth this year, as well as a

MIAMI COUNTY number of young players with the potential to help fill that void. Still, the loss of Gupta, as well as Ashlin Stoltz and Alex Cretsos, will leave big shoes to fill. “Raja was (Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division) Player of the Year last year, and he didn’t lose a dual match in his last two years,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “That’s a huge loss.” Gupta and Stoltz were both

sectional champs last year, Gupta at singles and Stoltz at doubles alongside returning senior Reid Wynkoop, whose experience at second singles will be a massive help. And taking over Gupta’s vacated first singles spot will be a freshman with the potential to hold down that position for another four years in Luke Oaks. But not without some friendly competition. “That’s been one nice thing so far. Those two both work really hard at each other in practice,”

He’s out of the Woods Tiger wins Bay Hill ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods finally brought the buzz back to the very thing that made him famous — winning. Two weeks after another injury scare, Woods looked dominant as ever in that red shirt on Sunday to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It was his first PGA Tour victory since a sex scandal at the end of 2009 led to one of the greatest downfalls in sports. And with the Masters only two weeks away, Woods looks more capable than ever of resuming his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus in the majors. Woods closed with a 2-under 70 for a five-shot win over

■ Golf

Golf ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Graeme McDowell. The question two weeks ago was when he could play again. Now, it’s whether he can get back to being the player who once ruled golf. Woods refused to acknowledge this as his first PGA Tour win in 923 days, dating to Sept. 13, 2009, at the BMW Championship. He counts the unofficial Chevron World Challenge last December. Even so, this was significant — a full tour event against a strong field, and a performance so clean that he was never seriously challenged on the back nine. The final hole was a mere formality, and Woods tapped his putter on the ground waiting for his turn, knowing that 30 months without a win on the PGA Tour was about to

end. He walked off the green with his arm extended, waving his cap to a raucous gallery. “It does feel good. It feels really good,” Woods said before signing his card. “It’s been a lot of hard work.” The only thing missing was the host himself. Palmer’s blood pressure increased during the final round from new medications, and he was taken to the hospital about 15 minutes before the tournament ended as a precaution. Alaistair Johnston, vice chairman at IMG and his longtime business manager, said Palmer would be kept overnight. “Nobody is overly concerned,” he said. Woods goes to No. 6 in the world, returning to the top 10 for the first time since May

22. He finished at 13-under 275 for his 72nd PGA Tour win, one short of Nicklaus for second place on the career list. But that’s not the record Woods wants. He has 14 majors, four short of the Nicklaus standard, and he tries to end a four-year drought at the Masters, which starts April 5. “I am excited, no doubt,” Woods said. “I’m looking forward to the momentum I’ve built here.” It was the first time Woods had all four rounds under par since he returned from his personal crisis at the 2010 Masters. McDowell made a 45-foot birdie putt and a 50-foot eagle putt early in the round to try to stay close, though he was never closer than two shots

after starting with a double bogey. He closed with a 74. “I think he really just kind of nailed home his comeback,” McDowell said. “Great to have a front-row seat watching maybe the greatest of all time doing what he does best — winning golf tournaments.” Ernie Els failed in his bid to get into the Masters. The three-time major champion started the final round three shots behind, but twice missed par putts inside 3 feet and shot 75. He would have needed a two-way tie for second to crack the top 50 in the world. Instead, he tied for fourth and moved up only four spots to No. 58 in the world. He will have to win the Houston Open next week to avoid missing the Masters for the first time since 1993.

Senior Ben Thompson is back for the Trojans and is expected to play second doubles.

Tennis ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Goldner said. “Luke is tournament-tested. He’s played in a lot of USTA events. And Reid has improved his game a lot since last year. I think he’s going to do a real good job for us.” Long-time Troy coach Goldner downplayed the fact that he also coached Oaks’ father, Todd Oaks. “His dad played for me,” Goldner said. “I’ve had a few of those, so it’s no big deal really. He (Todd) has taught Luke, and they work well together. We’re going to let Luke get his feet wet and gain confidence as the year goes.” After those first two spots, the Trojans have plenty of options. “We’ve got senior Sean Cothran and junior Chris Schmitt that could see action at third singles, or they could team up at first doubles,” Goldner said. “Then we’ve got senior Ben Thompson, another fouryear letterman, who will probably play second doubles with sophomore Matt Alexander. Then we’ve got a few other guys, freshmen Alex Truse and Greg Joseph and sophomore Ian Stutz, who all might get a shot at third singles or second doubles. “We’ll see how it goes early on and make the decision based on how everyone plays. I don’t like to do that, but we’ve got a lot of kids that are really close.” And after last year’s 14-3 record — with losses only to the best in the area, Centerville, Springboro and eventual GWOC North champ Butler — Troy is looking to remain among the best in the area itself. “Butler’s got a really good freshman and four or five other guys back. They’re loaded and will be tough in the division,” Goldner said. “And Springboro is probably the best in the area. There are a lot of good teams. “We always try to win the GWOC North, and we want to be in the top 10 in the Division I poll. It was nice to have a singles and doubles sectional champ last year, and we’d lie to get as many to district as we can.” Troy opens its season with another solid team, facing Milton-Union on Wednesday. • Tippecanoe Coach Von Clendenen and his Tippecanoe Red Devils have moved up to Division I this season. The

goal, however, is still the same: compete for a Central Buckeye Conference title. “We have a lot of guys out this year and we’re looking forward to taking another Central Buckeye Conference title,” Clendenen said. “We have a lot of players with varsity experience, along with some up and coming talent. We will be playing in D-I sectional this year, so this should be very interesting. A lot of teams in and out of our conference are down this year due to graduations, so we look to compete very strongly against the bigger Dayton teams.” Juniors Sam Bollinger — who placed third at the Troy sectional last season and just missed qualifying for state — Blake Sowry and Jon Lin are expected to be competing for the three singles spots, while sophomore Jacob Belcher and Michael Keller — a 6-foot-2 freshman who Clendenen said “possesses true talent” — will also be in the mix for those spots. “We’re looking at a lot of match experience heading into the new year,” Clendenen said. Tipp has both doubles teams back, which combined for winning percentages of more than .750 last season. Seniors Nick Denuzzo and Tyler Heinl will be at first doubles, while senior Joe Coughlin and junior Blake Sowry will play at second doubles. Adam Southers, Doug Lehmkul — two juniors with varsity experience — are expected to compete for time on varsity, as will newcomer J.D. Woodward. • Lehman The Lehman Cavaliers tennis team has four returning letterwinners in Dan Sehlhorst, Matt Ulrich, David Freytag and Pierce Bennett off a team that went 11-5 in 2011. And with a bulky roster, Lehman coach Kristy Sherman expects her squad to be competitive once again. “We have a big team again this year with 25 guys out,” Sherman said. “Not only have we added eight freshmen, we also have two sophomores and two seniors new to the team this year. It is very exciting to have so many guys who want to be part of the program. We have a tough season ahead of us, but the guys have worked hard during the off season and are ready for the challenge.”

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — When dark clouds ominously obscured majestic Mount Baldy north of Auto Club Speedway early in Sunday’s race, NASCAR’s drivers all realized they were probably in for a short day on a long track. Nobody did a better job racing until the raindrops fell than Tony Stewart. Stewart got his second NASCAR victory of the season when rain shortened the race at Auto Club Speedway by 71 laps, extending the defending Sprint Cup champion’s unusually strong start. Kyle Busch finished second, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. added to his good start to the season in third. “You hate to have it end with rain like that,” Stewart said. “But we’ve lost some that way, and we didn’t back into the lead.” Stewart has won seven of the last 15 races, including Las Vegas last month, in a remarkable stretch of dominance for a driver who rarely gets rolling until summer. Although Stewart sees nothing special about his approach to the new season, he’s clearly focused. Stewart and new crew chief Steve Addington didn’t mention the rain to each other until moments before it hit one end of the 2-mile oval, but they had already done the work necessary to win. “It’s been nice to get off to a good start this year the way we have,” said Stewart, who has been even more impressive this year despite firing crew chief Darian Grubb last December. “The history shows the last 13 years, we haven’t had the strongest start the first third of the year, but I’m really excited about the start we’ve got going. Daytona was probably our weakest race, and I know I made decisions trying to make things happen and it didn’t work out. I’m really proud of what Steve

Stewart won the rain-shortened race. and all our guys have done.” Stewart’s Chevrolet passed Busch 44 laps before the race was stopped when the looming rain clouds finally burst and halted a race run entirely on green flags to that point. Although a few drivers weren’t happy when the race was called off after a delay of just over 30 minutes amid steadily worsening rain, Stewart collected his 46th career win and his second at Fontana. “Playing to the weather, everybody is trying to get everything they can get toward the midway point of that race,” Stewart said. Defending race winner Kevin Harvick was fourth, and Carl Edwards was fifth. Greg Biffle, Edwards’ Roush Fenway Racing teammate, finished sixth and kept a seven-point lead on Harvick atop the points standings. “We had a great race car there from the start of the race,” said Busch, who started second alongside teammate Denny Hamlin and took the lead on the second lap. “We led a lot of laps. I just wish we led 30 more.” The drivers saw only blue skies at their meeting two hours before the race began, but the weather steadily worsened. The resulting drop in tempera-

ture threw off many teams’ calculations on air pressure and other decisions, forcing adjustments on their first pit stops. Realizing they might not be able to get much past the halfway point necessary to make a race official, the drivers mounted a fast, clean race on the extra-wide track, nearly setting the track record for consecutive green-flag laps until the rain finally forced a caution on the 125th lap. “We all knew it was just going to be a matter of time,” Busch said. “So probably at Lap 60 or 70, we were thinking, ‘OK, we’re probably going to race to Lap 100.’” The California track is known for its bumpy, wide asphalt that puts a premium on driver skill and strategy, but also is more susceptible to climate changes. Although most forecasts suggested the rain would stick around for a while, Hamlin went to Twitter to express his displeasure with NASCAR’s decision to end the race with roughly five hours of daylight left. “Never seen a race called at 2pm before,” Hamlin tweeted. “1st time for everything. Strong weekend.” After hitting the wall late in last week’s race at Bristol, Stewart was back in top form. He earned his earliest win in a NASCAR

season two weeks ago at Las Vegas with an aggressive move out of a restart, but the real racing at Fontana hadn’t even started before rain hit. “We didn’t have an opportunity to do anything other than what we had planned from the start,” said Earnhardt, who has finished in the top 15 in all five races this season. “I like how our season is going so far. If we keep going like this, maybe we can get some opportunities … and seal the deal.” The rain erased a potential disappointment for five-time Fontana champion Jimmie Johnson, who was 10th when the caution came out. He elected to pit, getting four tires and fuel but moments later, his car started spitting smoke. With no idea what was wrong with the car, crew chief Chad Knaus told Johnson to keep dripping oil on the course so he could keep his position if the race was red-flagged. The strategy worked, and the five-time Sprint Cup champions extended their streak to 10 straight top10 finishes on this track. “Either a piece of debris hit an oil line and knocked the fitting off, or split the line,” Johnson said. “I was just idling along, and my friends pulled up alongside and said, ‘You’re smoking.’”

Jets hoping Tebow is ‘Wicked’ good By the Associated Press

Of course, it took Florham Park, N.J., not only several hours for the deal to on Monday but for the usual-

ly tame offseason workouts and minicamp. Eli? Linsanity? The Rangers’ run for a Stanley Cup? Trivial. It’s going to be all Tebow all the time. “Playing for an organization that has such passionate fans and has so many people behind them, supporting them is very exciting,” Tebow said. “It means a lot to me.” It means a lot to the franchise, which once enjoyed hearing its starting QB referred to as the “Sanchize.” Yes, Sanchez has gotten the Jets to two AFC title games, but last year’s flameout, his

issues with wide receiver Santonio Holmes and a fractured locker room erased the glow. Sanchez received a three-year, $40.5 million contract extension two weeks ago, but, well, that’s old news, too. When the NFL unveils its new, Nike-produced uniforms in early April in Manhattan, want to bet the Jets’ jersey will have No. 15 on it? “He transcends cities and teams,” said Randy Echevarria, president of the Jacksonville Beach Gator Club back in the original Tebow country. “It just doesn’t matter to Tebow fans.”

■ NBA

Suns top Cavaliers CLEVELAND (AP) — The Phoenix Suns made a statement early on against Cleveland. The Suns, one of the NBA’s hottest teams, scored the game’s first 12 points and never trailed in rolling to a 108-83 victory over the Cavaliers on Sunday. Marcin Gortat and Markieff Morris scored 22 points apiece, while Steve Nash added 13 assists. Phoenix has won six of eight to get back into the Western Conference playoff race. The Suns improved to 11-4 since the All-Star break and are one game behind Denver for the final playoff spot in the West. “This was, by far, the best ball movement we’ve had this year,” said Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry. “We got off to a great start, but I thought we played well for the whole 48 minutes.” Gortat scored the game’s first 10 points, including two dunks and three layups. “It was cool,” he said. “It’s always fun when you’re rolling like that. I could have had an easy 30 if I had executed better. My teammates found me, and I was happy I had some post-ups today.” Cleveland has lost six of seven, leading coach Byron Scott to a simple conclusion. “We’re not a very good team right now,” he said. “That’s the bottom line. It’s like we were almost sleepwalking.” Rookie Kyrie Irving scored 16 points for Cleveland, which was never in the game after cutting the lead to 33-31 in the second quarter. Phoenix scored the next nine points to regain control and led 59-38 at halftime. The Cavaliers never got closer than 15 in the second half and the Suns’ biggest lead was 106-78 in the closing minutes.

■ NHL

Oilers beat Columbus COLUMBUS (AP) — It was a Columbus Blue Jackets goal that fired up the Edmonton Oilers. Down 2-1 after Rick Nash scored on a penalty shot, the Oilers ran off four unanswered goals in the remainder of the second period on the way to a 6-3 victory on Sunday. “We came into this one with our eyes closed,” coach Tom Renney said of his team, which was listless in its wind-up to a four-game road trip. “You try to conjure up the proper emotion and passion to play and sometimes it’s just not quite there. Luckily for us we did respond to their goal.” Boy, did they. Ryan Jones had a goal and two assists, Chris VandeVelde scored his first NHL goal, and Ladislav Smid, Ben Eager, Sam Gagner and Eric Belanger also scored. Ryan Nugent Hopkins, Jordan Eberle and Ryan Whitney each had two assists for the young and improving Oilers, who have points in their last seven games. “The second period we were opportunistic and we were getting bounces and just shooting the puck and good things happened,” said VandeVelde, whose first goal came a day after he was called up from Oklahoma City to play in his 13th NHL game. The Oilers’ Devan Dubnyk made 29 saves to improve to 14-8-2 in 2012 and the offense came alive.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 of Fab Freshmen. Kentucky took control with an early 16-0 run and led by 20 at halftime. They might as well have cut down the nets right then. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team is better than I thought,â&#x20AC;? Baylor coach Scott Drew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best team we faced all year, and probably in a couple of years.â&#x20AC;? Two years ago, Baylor lost to eventual national champion Duke in another regional final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duke was a good team,â&#x20AC;? Drew said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but Kentucky is better.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats beat Louisville 69-62 on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve, but now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet with the highest stakes ever. Kidd-Gilchrist shrugged when someone asked playing the about Cardinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just worried about us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about anybody else.â&#x20AC;? Calipari, in his third season at Kentucky, just keeps recruiting the best high school players in the land, molds them into a top team, then sends most of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em on to the NBA before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve barely had time to find their way to class. Then he starts the whole process over again. Two years ago, John Wall led Kentucky to the regional final. Last season, Brandon Knight helped guide the Wildcats to the Final Four. Now, with those guys in the NBA and and Kidd-Gilchrist Davis stopping off for what will likely be their only season in Lexington, Big Blue has a shot at what those last two teams failed to do bringing Kentucky its first national title since

1998. But for all the talk about Calipariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oneand-done tactics, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting plenty of contributions from those who hung around beyond their freshmen year. Take Jones, a sophomore forward who passed up the draft. He scored just one point in the opening half, but his fingerprints were all over Kentuckyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominating performance: nine rebounds, six assists, three blocks and two steals and most in the first 10 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just trying to be aggressive early,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That allowed me to get in position for great rebounds and to lead the fast break.â&#x20AC;? Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Darius Miller, one of only two seniors on the roster. He gave up his starting role to Kidd-Gilchrist in this one Kentucky essentially has six starters but added four points, two assists and two steals to the first-half blowout. At one point, KiddGilchrist had as many points as Baylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire team: 17 apiece. Kentucky led 42-22 at the break and Baylor never got any closer than 10 points the rest of the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of hard to play us,â&#x20AC;? Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very long and very athletic. It makes it tough on the other team.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats left New Orleans earlier this month disappointed with a loss in the S o u t h e a s t e r n champiConference onship game. That oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long forgotten. A national championship has been the goal all along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not satisfied yet,â&#x20AC;? Kidd-Gilchrist said.

point romp matching the 22year-old record for scoring margin at the regional stage of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time he sees me, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chip on the shoulder,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Mallory said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been playing with that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a big emphasis. The last game last year, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accomplish what we wanted, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been using that as our main â&#x20AC;Ś emphasis this year.â&#x20AC;? Maryland 81, Texas A&M 74 RALEIGH, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Laurin Mincy had 21 points and 12 rebounds to help Maryland rally past Texas A&M 81-74 on Sunday in the semifinals of the Raleigh Regional of the NCAA tournament. Alyssa Thomas added 21 points and nine rebounds for the second-seeded Terrapins (31-4), who trailed by 18 points in the first half and by 11 midway through the second half. But Maryland fought its way back and held the reigning national champion Aggies (24-11) to just one basket in the final 7 minutes. The Terrapins have won 10 straight and 13 of 14 since a home loss to Virginia Tech on Jan. 26. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back in a regional final for the first time since 2009 when they were in Raleigh as a No. 1 seed. Freshman Alexia Standish scored 19 points to

lead third-seeded Texas A&M, which spent much of the game shooting 50 percent before cooling off as Maryland rallied. UConn 77, Penn State 59 KINGSTON, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A balanced offense and a stingy defense carried Geno Auriemma and his Connecticut Huskies to another regional final. Bria Hartley scored 20 points, Kelly Faris added 15 and No. 1 seed UConn advanced to the NCAA tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional finals for the seventh straight year with a 77-59 win over Penn State on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to make sure that this was a team thing more than looking around for someone to have a big night,â&#x20AC;? Auriemma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team would have to play great defense and the team would have to execute offensively. I was really happy after the game to sit back and say thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what it was.â&#x20AC;? Kentucky 79, Gonzaga 62 KINGSTON, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Keyla Snowden made five 3pointers for Kentucky, hitting a pair of them to turn back Gonzagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last charge. Snowden had 17 points, going 5 of 9 from 3-point range, and Samarie Walker scored 16 with 12 rebounds for the Wildcats. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second trip to the regional finals for Kentucky (28-6) in three years.

â&#x2013; CONTINUED FROM 15 Kansas began this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament in Omaha, Neb., the same place as four years ago. As the game ended, Taylor much maligned for his shooting struggles during the first three games of the NCAA tournament ran to Kansas fans and raised both arms in the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to put into words the way we feel,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to put into words the way I feel. â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the NCAA tournament. One team wins and one team loses, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we have to understand.â&#x20AC;? Taylor led five Jayhawks in double figures. Player of the year candidate Thomas Robinson added 18 points and nine rebounds, and Elijah Johnson kept up his blistering pace in the tournament with 10 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:07 to play that sparked Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 12-0 run to end the game. Jeff Withey made two monster blocks to deny the Tar Heels during the run including one that set up a big three-point play by Taylor. Taylor came up with the rebound after Withey swatted away a shot by John Henson and streaked downcourt for a layup, getting fouled by Stilman White in the process. As the Kansas-heavy crowd roared, Taylor butted his head into Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chest. He made the free throw to give Kansas a 74-67 lead with 1:59 left, and the Jayhawks cruised from there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a game of runs,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer the last one.â&#x20AC;? James Michael McAdoo scored 15 for the Tar Heels (32-6), who played better in their second game without injured star point guard Kendall Marshall. But North Carolina couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcome a 5:46 field goal drought to end the Midwest Regional final. It was only the third loss in 12 regional final appearances for the Tar Heels, but their second straight after losing to Kentucky last year. This was only the second time Williams had faced Kansas since leaving the school where he spent his first 15 years as a head coach, taking the Jayhawks to the NCAA title game twice they lost in both 1991 and 2003 and two other Final Fours. Though Kansas fans have softened some Williams was still greeted with a chorus of boos Williams said Saturday that facing his old team will always be unpleasant.
