Continued from page 1 work began. It was all made possible thanks to donated time, materials and a passion for keeping history alive. “I always liked the schoolhouse,” said Dawn Whitmer, owner of the property along with her husband Steve. She wanted to do something for the deteriorating building, but realized that to tackle such a project meant first and foremost doing it right. Her husband was supportive of her endeavors to restore the one of only six remaining schoolhouses in the area. Four of schools are now personal residences that have undergone such extensive renovations as to little resemble once being a school. Steve, too, was adamant that it be done right and fortunately for the Whitmers, the schoolhouse was mostly intact, with many original features, including the wood flooring from 1913, still in place. The slate roof is another story. “It was funny for me, but I now know more about slate than anybody should know,” Whitmer said, explaining over how she hunted down many items for the school, including brick and slate. She drove through the countryside, looking through backyards, to find the correct material, making the statement that she cleaned out every barn in the area just for slate. It was people that made all the difference in rehabilitating the little schoolhouse, with completion and an open house held Dec. 15, 2011. “It was definitely a humongous project that I could not have done without so many people being so generous,” Whitmer said of the many donated materials. “It just goes to show that there is so much goodness out there, that people do try hard, and they all want things to work out well.” Well indeed, as Whitmer, who worked for nine years in the history department of the Bradford Public Library, spoke of the numerous individuals who assisted with the restoration, names that can now be found on the Newberry Twp. Honor Roll plaque inside the school. “They were laughing because that was the only time they made the honor roll,” Whitmer said of those who assisted. “It was amazing how many people helped, and how it

District leaders petitioned and they have since been added. It is certain that the trailers will be used to house Washington Intermediate students, but where the trailers will be located is yet to be determined. According to Hanes, two options are being considered: placing them at Wilder Intermediate School or High Street Primary School. Currently, High Street appears to be the best choice. “It seems to be what would have the lest impact and be best for students,” Hanes said adding that bus transportation would need to change little if at all and the situation would be best for families with primary and inter-

mediate aged children. Financially, the addition of modular classrooms will be co-funded with the OSFC. Hanes said there are financial benefits from housing students in the modular rooms during the building project. “It costs less to run modular classrooms than it does an entire school,” he said. He added that while it is yet to be determined, grades first through fourth may be in High Street School while fifth and sixth grades would be in the trailers along with various classes. Also with the building already down and no students on site, a construction entrance and extra safety precautions would not be needed. Hanes urged everyone to remember that the transition to modular classrooms would not begin next school year, but with the 2013-14 school year. Also during the meeting, the board approved a
resolution to align with the Miami County Educational Service Center. “We have to show we are looking for the best buy. Miami County appears to be for this coming school year the best buy,” Hanes said. The state is asking districts to not only look at the ESC in their county, but also in those nearby to ensure services are provided at the lowest cost possible. According to Hanes, Piqua uses the Miami County ESC for special education preschool, physical therapy and speech pathology. Physical therapy comes from the Montgomery
County ESC. Piqua pays the Miami County ESC $6.50 per student to cover the services’ costs. The board accepted the following resignations at Thursday’s meeting: Matt Siefker, PHS social studies teacher and Jeanette Fletcher, speech therapy. Retirement resignations were accepted for Deborah Flaute, FS3 cook; Patricia Deaton, fifth-grade teacher at Washington school; and Julia Henkaline, junior high math teacher. The board will meet again at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 23. at the Municipal Government Complex, Commission Chambers.
TROY — A preliminary hearing was held Thursday for accused aggravated murderer Donald R. Pepper, a West Milton m a n who police say PEPPER caused the death of his roommate April 13 in what first appeared to be a lawn mower accident to emergency first responders. Charged with aggravated murder and tampering with evidence, Pepper, 53, had his preliminary hearing in Miami County Municipal Court and afterward Judge Mel Kemmer found probable cause and now the case will be
bound over to common pleas court. Pepper has been charged in the aggravated murder of James R. Wolf, 65, who lived with Pepper at a home the two shared at 1177 Debron Road in West Milton. Pepper owned the home. He remains jailed on a newly-modified bond of $1.1 million after the prosecution asked for his initial bond of $350,000 to be raised on Tuesday. On April 13, authorities and medics responded to the West Milton home in what was first described as a “lawnmower accident,” but law enforcement quickly ruled that the incident was not an accident after head trauma the victim suffered was not consistent with a lawn mower accident, said West Milton Police Chief Garry Kimpel.

“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:10 AKJV)
Mother of the Munchkins
Life’s little speed bumps y mother reminded me, while I was having a meltdown over my less-than-stellar math skills in algebra class, that there will always be bumps in the road. That this (algebra) is just a bump. We all know about those bumps and fortunately most are pretty dismissive. Akin to the speed bump out at Edison Community College. If you slow down, take your time getting over, all will remain intact once on the other side. Other times the bumps in life just seem to either go on and on forever, one bump after the next. Or they go up and up and somewhere in the nosebleed seats one can only dream about seeing flat terra firma ever again. Relatively speaking, algebra is a trivial, slightly over-blown speed bump. Far be it for me to complain too much if the biggest issue to tackle right now is my lack of math capabilities. Plus, if this is the worst thing I have to deal with until the Mack truck takes me out of the picture, bring it on, equations! I mean, when individuals have so much more to contend with in life; have far greater battles to be fought or are fighting, math is but a blip on the radar that turned out to be a fly. So when a pity-party starts in my neck-of-thewoods I recall those that I’ve spoken to over the last year since coming to the Daily Call. It helps to reflect on those with insurmountable struggles, challenges and obstacles that they’ve managed to, or are tenaciously, tackling. Take for example, World War II Navy vet Marion Adams who was at Normandy (D-Day) and four different beaches. He came home to his farm and family, thinking the worst behind him, only to BETHANY J. ROYER start yet another advenStaff Writer ture. Adventure is not broyer@dailycall.com quite the best of words for someone who would undergo open-heart surgery in the early 1970s when survival was slim at best, and go on to meet two doctors that would make history on top of saving a life and changing his family’s lives forever. I’m not sure how much they realize, having the opportunity to speak with them, share their story, has changed my own story. Another that stands out, one with obstacles and perseverance, is Staunton school intervention specialist, Collette Shultz. I will never forget the emotion in her voice as she made the statement: “I just want people really to know, they are protective and loving kids, I just want people to know that. I would like the stigma to be gone.” All she was asking for was to change the negative reputation pinned to the school and students. A school that every time I walk through the door I am immediately overwhelmed by the warmth and that’s before I ever see a face or walk into a classroom. And, of course, the Hahn-Hufford Center has really changed my life, ever since the day Jim Hufford walked through the door and introduced me to the word tenacious. Plus, the many individuals who work at or are clients of the center, facing obstacles and challenges every single day that far outweigh my own. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Ruth Hahn and her dream to get the building paid off. This is the one true beauty about working in the media. I know there cannot always be stories of hope and optimism. Reality can be pretty harsh but there are times, like the stories I’ve just mentioned that I would not change my position for the world. Buddhist nun Pema Chodron wrote of something very profound in the near dozen books she’s written, and hopefully I won’t mangle it too much, she says to remove yourself from the storyline makes for a happier life. In short, by telling other people’s story there’s far more satisfaction to be found than ever telling your own.

Excerpts of recent editorials of interest from Ohio newspapers: Akron Beacon Journal The regulators at the federal Environmental Protection Agency listened to the concerns of the oil and gas industry. Then, they made adjustments in proposed air quality standards for the drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing. The result is the balanced approached unveiled last week, the industry gaining flexibility in the implementation, the agency fulfilling the mandate of the Clean Air Act, protecting public health and making an advance in mitigating climate change. The process of fracturing involves injecting a combination of water, sand and chemicals into underground shale rock. This is followed by a “flowback,” the natural gas and other chemicals coming to the surface, resulting in emissions of methane, plus toxic, cancer-causing pollutants such as benzene and hexane. Nearby residents, along with environmental groups, have complained about health problems and other harmful effects. Agency officials, thus, had an obligation to act, and to consult with the industry in devising the best way forward. … This is a national challenge, the 13,000 wells drilled each year requiring a uniform set of rules. … What the EPA has achieved isn’t simply a deft balancing act. It has orchestrated something consequential, no less than one of the country’s most productive efforts to combat climate change. ___ The Columbus Dispatch Protests from school officials and teachers who want a reprieve from tougher grading standards are predictable, but that doesn’t make them valid. The Ohio School Boards Association, teachers’ unions and others are asking for a delay in applying new performance standards proposed by Gov. John Kasich for school grade cards to be issued this summer. The new system, which places more emphasis on whether poor, minority, special-education and other categories of students are catching up to mainstream students in test-passing rates, is likely to lower the overall grade for most districts and charter schools. … Schools understandably dread the unhappy reaction from their communities, but that’s no reason not to go forward as Kasich has proposed with a more honest assessment of how well schools are doing enabling all children to learn. Schools should focus on understanding and explaining the rating changes and where they fell short to their communities, and focus on fixing the problems.

DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced from my wife for almost a year, with another year of separation preceding that. We divorced because of arguments, not because of abuse, adultery or substance abuse issues. The divorce actually seemed to take on a life of its own. Because I have a small son with her, I desperately want to attempt a reconciliation. She is reticent about it, however, mainly because I believe she’s getting pressure from her family. How can I persuade her to go out with me so we can rekindle the

Advice spark we once shared? — MISSING MY OLD LIFE DEAR MISSING: Before a couple can successfully reconcile, they must first resolve the problems that caused the separation in the first place. That would be the way to begin. However, are you aware that not once in your letter did you say that you still love your ex-wife? If the reason you want to “rekindle the spark” is that you miss being with your child and the comforts of being married — but not her — then I don’t think you have much chance of success. DEAR ABBY: My child’s best friend has a parent who is constantly late (to the tune of hours, not minutes). I understand that the child is not at fault, but my child’s feelings are hurt by the blatant disregard of the other parent’s tardiness.How do I help this parent (whom I adore otherwise) to understand that disappointing my child through poor time management is not acceptable to our family without hurting both children? — WATCHING THE CLOCK DEAR CLOCK WATCHER: If you haven’t told the parent that it is hurtful when your child is kept waiting for hours for a play date, you should. And if that doesn’t bring the desired result, your child should be encouraged to move on to some other activity and/or another companion.

BRYAN-BROWN, JOAN MARCUS/AP PHOTO/BONEAU
In this theater image released by Boneau/Bryan-Brown, John Lithgow portrays columnist and political pundit Joseph Alsop, left, and Grace Gummer portrays Abigail in a scene from the play “The Columnist,” playing at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in New York. MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer NEW YORK — It’s obvious why playwright David Auburn was so fascinated by the story of journalist Joseph Alsop. Just look at some of the elements: enormous political influence, a key role in the Vietnam War, Soviet blackmail and a secret life. It is also quite clear why John Lithgow would want to play the role — it offers imperious rants, droll humor, private sobs, regret and lines like this: “Politics is human intercourse at its most sublimely ridiculous and intensely vital.” Auburn and Lithgow have teamed up to offer a revealing if staid look at Alsop, a fixture in Washington’s elite circles during the 1950s and 1960s who wrote an influential syndicated newspaper column. In many ways, he was the predecessor of today’s personality-driven public commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olbermann. The portrait that emerges — Manhattan Theatre Club’s “The Columnist” opened Thursday at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre — should send a chill down the spine of any pundit who begins to think he or
see Alsop fighting with other journalists, winning and dining the influential, mourning the death of his hero John F. Kennedy (“I feel like my life has been broken in half ”) and trying, as a closeted homosexual, to keep his wife happy. His brother, the more populist-minded Stewart, is largely dominated by the older Joe in the play, even though Stewart meets with critics of his brother and pleads for them to help cover up the scandal. “I wish I had your certainty,” Stewart tells his brother in one scene. John Lee Beatty’s sets switch Lazy Susan-style from upper-crust interiors with wood-paneled bookcases and elegant sofas, to park benches, and even a minimalist Saigon bar. His best set is toward the end at a cemetery that features a stone wall lit beautifully by Kenneth Posner. “The Columnist” joins two other plays this season to tackle journalists, “The Wood” about tabloid columnist Mike McAlary and “CQ/CX” about the Jayson Blair scandal at The New York Times. The new musical “Newsies” even celebrates turn-ofthe-century newspaper sellers. Who says interest in journalism is in decline?
Bidding quiz
1. Six diamonds. An opening three-notrump bid normally indicates a balanced hand containing 25 or 26 high-card points. Opposite your hand, it is therefore highly likely that a slam can be made with diamonds as trumps. Unfortunately, there's no way of bidding this hand scientifically; the best you can do is to take a shot at what you think you can make. There could even be a grand slam if partner has exactly the right cards, but it would be foolish to take a blind stab at it. Partner is not barred from bidding seven over six, but in practice he will nearly always pass. 2. Pass. Here there's virtually no chance for a slam, so the only problem is whether to pass or bid four

hearts (or four diamonds if you play transfers). Four hearts would essentially be a shutout bid and would not suggest interest in a slam. A pass will probably work out best in the long run, since the combined high-card point count is somewhere around 29 or 30 points -- surely enough for partner to make nine tricks at notrump. The trouble with bidding four hearts is that partner might have only a doubleton heart, creating the possibility of losing two or three trump tricks that would not have to be lost in a notrump contract. 3. Six notrump. This hand is unimpressive in its own right, but opposite a three-notrump opening it assumes sizable proportions. Your combined count of 33 or 34 points makes a small slam very likely. Hands of this sort illustrate the great value of point count in assessing

NEW YORK — The New York arts world has every kind of tribute; Galas are held virtually every night. But a tribute to a shoe company? Well, shoes are very important to dancers — pointe shoes, ballet slippers, Broadway dance shoes, tap shoes. So it was an opportunity for dance — loads and loads, of all varieties — when Capezio celebrated its 125th anniversary Monday evening with a gala at New York City Center. The evening started with a New York institution: The Rockettes, in black and sequins, doing their famed precision kicks, with their equally unified smiles. As two lines drew apart at one point, Tommy Tune appeared, the legendary song-and-dance man dressed all in red, down to his shiny Capezio tap shoes. Tune, at 73, looked dapper as ever as he did a few steps for the crowd. Later, he received the 61st Capezio Dance Award, presented by his friend, the famous dancer/choreographer Ann Reinking. The evening, conceived and directed by Ann
Marie DeAngelo, featured classical dance, street dance, and virtually everything in between. From the ballet world there was the elegant duo of Misty Copeland and Jared Matthews of American Ballet Theatre, doing a little Balanchine (“Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux”). In a less traditional number, Nicole Graniero and Craig Salstein of ABT danced to the song “Falling Slowly” from the film “Once,” along with Daniel Ulbricht of New York City Ballet. There was hip hop, courtesy of Mr. Wiggles, and a huge show number from jazz choreographer Mandy Moore. A group called iLuminate created an electric light show with their bodies in “Night Vision,” created by Miral Kotb. Noah Racey and Jeffrey Denman charmed the crowd old-fashioned style, with a song-and-tap number called “Educate Your Feet.” There was also room for ballroom, and the highlight was a sizzling tango performed by the highly limber Jaime Verazin and Mark Stuart, of Mark Stuart Dance Theatre.

wearing, slightly prissy and officious snob. But tenderness comes out during moments with his daughter, and he bristles with indignation and fear whenever he is questioned or maligned. The rest of the cast have less to do but make their limited roles count. The play, broken up in a series of chronological imagined scenes, also shows Alsop juggling home life with his stepdaughter (Grace Gummer), wife (Margaret Colin) and brother (Boyd Gaines), with whom he collaborated on a widely admired column from the 1940s to 1958. The action ends in 1968, long before Alsop’s death in 1989 at age 78. Make no mistake. Alsop is not worried about giving his readers entertainment or satisfying their interests. “We tell them what they need to know,” he says flatly at one point. Auburn has teased out a spy thriller as a framing device: The play begins in 1954 in a hotel room in Moscow, where Alsop has bedded a local tourist guide. It’s a trap and the KGB now has compromising photos that could destroy the columnist. How he escaped destruction must wait until the final scene. In the meantime, we

she is bigger than the story. Director Daniel Sullivan has tried to make each scene stand on its own, but the result is a play that may be more fun to perform than watch. Auburn draws a portrait of a self-important WASP in decline, losing his clout and growing increasingly disconnected from reality as he doggedly defends the Vietnam War even as the facts show its horrible costs. “Yes, you’re damn right I ‘subscribe’ to the domino theory. I named the damned theory,” Alsop screams into a phone to a newspaper editor in one scene. After a fact-finding visit to Saigon, he announces: “I saw the endlessly resourceful military of a great and benevolent power in a twilight struggle for freedom against an inhuman enemy.” But Alsop gets steadily undercut by a new breed of journalist — represented in the play by David Halberstam (Stephen Kunken) — who get their material by knocking on doors and speaking to those on the ground, not being ferried about by the government in heavily orchestrated visits like Alsop. Lithgow clearly relishes playing the part and emerges as a bow tie-

DEAR SPEECHLESS: Most baby showers are given four to six weeks before the mother’s due date. However, it’s possible that your friend’s wife had hers at five months because, with her history of miscarriages, she’s excited that her pregnancy seems to be progressing well and she’s thinking positively about the outcome. I hope it works out well and so should you. As to her method of thanking everyone for the gifts, she may never have been taught that individual thank-you notes should have been sent to each guest. Because it is clear that you are closer to the husband than the wife, perhaps you should tip him off that it’s still not too late for them to do the right thing and suggest he help her with them.

Review: ‘The Columnist’ is revealing but staid

DEAR ABBY: I recently attended a baby shower for a dear high school friend and his wife. The day after the shower, she posted a slideshow on Facebook titled “Thanks for All Our Gifts” with a picture of each gift and who gave it. She has had numerous miscarriages and held this shower at five months, knowing the baby is not yet at a viable stage. While I feel sympathy for her fertility issues, and especially for her husband who desperately wants to be a father, I think this is a bid for attention. I am disgusted at how she seems to be bragging about her haul, yet prepping everyone to give her an outpouring of support if there is another tragic loss. Who does this?

■ Living with children
No pat answer Wired kids A
fellow in West Virginia asks, “My wife and I need to agree concerning our children. She sees things one way, and I see things a completely — and I mean COMPLETELY — different way. How can we get on the same page?” This is certainly the most serious and common of child-rearing problems. I suspect — but know of no research that backs the suspicion — that it is better for a child to be raised by a single parent than it is for a child to be raised by two people who are not of one parenting mind. In the past, when people have asked me this question, I have said, “I don’t know. I mean, there is no pat answer. The solution depends on the two people in question, how willing they are to make compromise, and so on.” In other words, I was thinking like a negotiator, a mediator. I was thinking that solving this problem would require that each individual give up some “territory” and accept less than what they want. But
“Mind you, that’s how to get on the same page. Don’t ask me how to get a man and woman in the same paragraph, much less the same sentence.”
I’ve lately been giving this a lot of thought along with talking and listening to lots of people, and I think I now have the pat answer people are looking for. It’s actually quite simple. The breakthrough occurred when I realized that this problem is new. Just 50 years ago, it was rare to find parents who were not on the same page. Today, the opposite it true. Why? The answer is not that those females submitted to male authority in the home. That’s neo-feminist poppycock. Nor is it that those parents had to deal with fewer issues than do today’s parents, and more
Parents resort to hidden audio recorders to prove teachers’ verbal abuse
JOHN ROSEMOND Columnist complicated parenting translates to a higher likelihood of disagreement, blah blah. Nope, that’s not it either. The biggest difference between then and now is that kids in the 1950s and before were raised not by mothers and fathers but by husbands and wives. This problem of the male and female not being on the same page is prevented when those two people act primarily from the roles of husband and wife. Conversely, it is all but inevitable if they act primarily from the roles of father and mother. Why? Because men and women see things — everything! — differently. A man and a woman who witness the same event from the same vantage point will describe it differently. Likewise, a man and a woman who raise the same children in the same home are seeing things from two different gender-determined perpectives; therefore, they struggle to get on the same page. The only way for a man and a woman to share a common perspective on their children is to act primarily as husband and wife. That simply means they are in a far stronger, more active relationship with one another than they are with their kids. Being on the same page concerning their kids flows naturally from the fact that their first obligation, their first commitment, is to one another. One flesh, one mind. Mind you, that’s how to get on the same page. Don’t ask me how to get a man and woman in the same paragraph, much less the same sentence. I’ve been married long enough to know that same page is about as good as it gets. Family psychologist John Rosemond answers parents’ questions on his website at www.rosemond.com.

GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press CHERRY HILL, N.J. — Teachers hurled insults like “’tard,” “damn dumb” and “a hippo in a ballerina suit.” A bus driver threatened to slap one child, while a bus monitor told another, “Shut up, you little dog.” They were all special needs students, and their parents all learned about the verbal abuse the same way — by planting audio recorders on them before sending them off to school. In cases around the country, suspicious parents have been taking advantage of convenient, inexpensive technology to tell them what children, because of their disabilities, are not able to express on their own. It’s a practice that can help expose abuses, but it comes with some dangers. This week, a father in Cherry Hill, N.J., posted on YouTube clips of secretly recorded audio that caught one adult calling his autistic 10-year-old son “a bastard.” In less than three days, video got 1.2 million views, raising the prominence of the small movement. There have been at least nine similar cases across the U.S. since 2003. “If a parent has any reason at all to suggest a child is being abused or mistreated, I strongly recommend that they do the same thing,” said Wendy Fournier, president of the National Autism Association. But George Giuliani, executive director of the National Association of Special Education Teachers and director of special education at Hofstra University in Hempstead,
Stuart Chaifetz kisses his son, Akian Chaifetz, 10, on the head as they play in the backyard of their home in Cherry Hill, N.J., on Wednesday. After Chaifetz was told that his son Akian was acting violently at his New Jersey school he decided to investigate. Akian’s autism prevented him from being able to explain to his father if anything had been happening to him at school. Chaifetz decided the only way to find out what was behind the outbursts was to send his boy to school wearing a hidden audio recorder. While Akian’s teacher and colleagues denied anything out of the ordinary was happening, the recordings Chaifetz listened to told a different story. N.Y., says that while the documented mistreatment of children has been disturbing, secret recordings are a bad idea. They could, he said, violate the privacy rights of other children. “We have to be careful that we’re not sending our children in wired without knowing the legal issues,” Giuliani said. Stuart Chaifetz, the Cherry Hill father, said he began getting reports earlier in the school year that his 10-year-old son, Akian, was being violent. Hitting teachers and throwing chairs were out of character for the boy, who is in a class with four other autistic children and speaks but has serious difficulty expressing himself. Chaifetz said he talked to school officials and had his son meet with a behaviorist. There was no explanation for the way Akian was acting. “I just knew I had to find out what was happening there,” he said. “My only option was to put a recorder there. I needed to hear what a normal day was like in there.” On the recording, he heard his son being insulted — and crying at one point. He shared the audio with school district officials. The superintendent said in a statement that “the individuals who are heard on the recording raising their voices and inappropriately addressing children no longer work in
the district.” Since taking the story public, Chaifetz, who has run unsuccessfully for the school board in Cherry Hill and once went on a hunger strike to protest special-education funding cuts, said he has received thousands of emails. At least a few dozen of those he has had a chance to read have been from parents asking for advice about investigating alleged mistreatment of their children. It’s easy, he tells them. “It was a simple $30 digital audio recorder. I just put it in the kid’s pocket,” he said. “Unless they’re looking for it, they’re not going to find it.” With more parents taking such action, he said, fewer educators may get out of line with the way they treat students who cannot speak up for themselves. “For the tiny percentage of teachers that do it, I hope that they live in fear every day that a kid’s going to walk in with a recorder,” he said. He gives just one caveat: “Make sure it’s legal in your state.” Laws on audio recordings vary by state, but in most of the U.S., including New Jersey, recordings can generally be made legally if one party gives consent. Over the past decade, courts in New York and Wisconsin have ruled that recordings
made secretly on school buses were legal, finding that there is a diminished expectation of privacy for drivers on the bus. The recordings have led to firings in several states, criminal convictions of bus employees in Wisconsin and New York, and legal settlements worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in Ohio and Missouri. Even if it is found to be legal, the recording could have a chilling effect on classrooms, says Giuliani, of the special-education teachers’ group. Teachers could worry that every one of their words could be monitored. And a recording could be edited to disthe teachers’ tort meaning. He said that the rise of the secret recordings suggests it’s time to discuss a way to make sure the most vulnerable children are not being mistreated in a more formal way. “In classrooms where children are nonverbal, unable to communicate, defenseless,” he said, “we should start to have a discussion of whether cameras in the classroom are necessary.” That’s a move that the National Autism Association’s Fournier also says is needed. ___ AP News Researcher Jennifer Farrar in New York contributed to this report.
Son struggling in hopes his parents won’t die apart ELYRIA — Matt and Mary Monschein have been married for 46 years. They met while Matt was serving in the Navy in Newfoundland, Canada. The two married, had two children and settled in Elyria. But now their son, Michael, fears they may die apart. Matt Monschein, 71, is a patient at Cleveland Clinic’s main campus, having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Mary Monschein, 68, is undergoing kidney dialysis for complications from diabetes and has had both of her legs amputated. She is at Grace Hospital in Fairview. The two have not seen each other since March 28. Michael Monschein has been trying to relocate his

parents to a facility where they can be together, but he has been having difficulty. Michael Monschein said doctors at Cleveland Clinic gave his father about two months to live, but his condition has worsened. “I’ve accepted the fact that my dad’s going to pass. I’m just looking for a way to accommodate my mom and dad being together,” he said. Eileen Sheil, spokeswoman for Cleveland Clinic, said the hospital has been trying to help the family. Sheil said Matt Monschein will be moved
to visit Mary for two hours Wednesday. But Michael Monschein has seen his parents grow discouraged by not being able to spend time together and is not satisfied. “Two hours is great, but it’s not enough,” he said. Sheil said doctors must look out for the needs of the patient as well as the family, and moving Matt Monschein for a long period of time may negatively affect his health. “Our heart goes out to the family, but it is a very difficult situation. … We’re doing the best we can, but

we have to provide the best care to the patient,” she said. Because of Matt Monschein’s prognosis, he may be transferred to a hospice center. He cannot be admit-
ted to Grace Hospital because it is a long-term acute care facility, unsuitable for his care. Michael Monschein said the hospice center would not have the care Mary
needs. She requires dialysis, antibiotics and negative pressure wound therapy to heal bedsores. Regardless, his parents, he said, belong together — even if it is at the end.

SIDNEY — Lehman Catholic High School students are teaching other students how to be energy efficient. Now in its fifth year, the school’s association with the Ohio Energy Project has had positive benefits for the students involved, the school, and students in the surrounding area. The Ohio Energy Project (OEP) helps to prepare high school students to become energy leaders through a unique program that utilizes a philosophy of “Kids Teaching Kids.” Trained high school student leaders teach students in grades three through eight using a multidisciplinary approach. Activities include riding an energy bike, exploring various alternative energy sources, making sense of sound and heat and light, and learning how to conserve energy by making a home more energy efficient. In small groups, students are led through a variety of hands-on games to explain various energy concepts. Lehman Catholic invited students from Holy Angels and Piqua Catholic Schools to attend an Energy Fair at Lehman on April 10. Another fair was held on April 18 for students from Holy Rosary School (St. Marys), Immaculate Conception (Celina), St Mary (Greenville), and St. Patrick (Troy). Earlier in April, Lehman

Catholic student leaders joined with student leaders from Fairmont, Oakwood Eaton and Clinton-Massie for an Energy Fair at held at the University of Dayton Arena. Hundreds of students from Ascension, Bethel, Greenmont, Newton, Normandy, Prass and Van Cleve Elementary Schools attended the Dayton Energy Fair. Over the course of the past five years, Lehman Catholic has hosted or participated
in a number of Energy Fairs for public and nonpublic school students. “The purpose of OEP is to empower students to take part in energy conservation,” said Tracy Hall, Lehman science teacher and adviser of Lehman’s OEP team. “Both the high school students and the ones they teach benefit from this knowledge. After all, they are the ones who are going to make a difference in the use of our planet’s resources in the

Cancer survivors urged to exercise eat healthy diet
ATLANTA — A cancer diagnosis often inspires people to exercise and eat healthier. Now the experts say there’s strong evidence that both habits may help prevent the disease from coming back. New guidelines issued Thursday by the American Cancer Society urge doctors to talk to their cancer patients about eating right, exercising and slimming down if they’re too heavy. That’s not something most doctors do, said Dr. Omer Kucuk, an Emory University oncologist who has researched the effect of nutrition on prostate cancer. They’re focused on surgery, chemotherapy or other treatments for their patients, he added. “Usually the last thing on their mind is to talk about diet and exercise,” Kucuk said. Cancer society officials
have long encouraged healthy eating and exercise as a way to prevent certain cancers. They and others have tried to spread that gospel to cancer survivors as well. Indeed, the cancer society has a certification program for fitness professionals who work with cancer survivors. But until now, the group didn’t think there was enough research to support a strong statement for cancer survivors. Hastine Reese, a breast cancer survivor, says she began to exercise because her husband not her doctor pushed her. Besides being good for her health, he thought it might help pull her out of the depression that followed her diagnosis and double-mastectomy. “When you’re first diagnosed with cancer, you go into a dark place,” said Reese, as she finished a one-hour exercise class this week at DeKalb Medical Center in Decatur, Ga.
Secret Service probes another overseas trip WASHINGTON (AP)— Expanding the prostitution investigation, the Secret Service acknowledged Thursday it is checking whether its employees hired strippers and prostitutes in advance of President Barack Obama’s visit last year to El Salvador. The disclosure came not long after the Homeland Security secretary assured skeptical senators that the recent prostitution scandal in Colombia appeared to be an isolated incident. A spokesman for the Se-
cret Service, Edwin Donovan, said the agency was investigating allegations raised in news reports about unprofessional behavior that have emerged in the aftermath of the Colombia incident. The latest, by Seattle television station KIRO-TV quoted anonymous sources as saying that Secret Service employees received sexual favors from strippers at a club in San Salvador and took prostitutes to their hotel rooms ahead of Obama’s visit to the city in March 2011.

eign policy record while eviscerating Romney for lacking vision and for “distorting” Obama’s record in a way that has been counterproductive to U.S. interests. “If you’re looking for a bumper sticker to sum up how President Obama has handled what we inherited, it’s pretty simple: Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive,” Biden said, saying Obama’s decisions on both foreign and domestic policy had made the U.S. safer.
NEW YORK (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden delivered a harsh attack Thursday on Mitt Romney’s foreign policy views, arguing that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is rooted in a Cold War mentality and is uninformed about the current challenges facing the U.S. abroad. In a campaign speech delivered at New York University Law School, Biden laid out a robust defense of President Barack Obama’s for-

HOROSCOPE Friday, April 27, 2012 Your imprint is likely to be more widely felt in the year ahead than it ever was in the past, mostly because you’ll have your fingers in many new pies. Success is now possible in areas where you previously met with disappointment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Don’t wait for others to put a fun activity together, be the one who initiates good times. If you do, this can be an extremely enjoyable day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Those who love you are likely to do all they can to help satisfy both your material and emotional interests as unobtrusively as possible. Show your appreciation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It’s one of those rare days where some of your more expansive hopes have betterthan-average chances of being gratified. Be optimistic about the outcome of events. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Don’t sit around waiting for something good to happen. If you get on things immediately and strike while the iron is hot, you can realize some gangbusters opportunities. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Forget about all the petty things going on in your life and focus your energies and efforts on endeavors that are near and dear to you. When you do, life can be pretty darn great. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Collective endeavors look extremely promising at this point in time. Check to see if there is room for you in a coalition that is engaged in something interesting.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you’ve been considering making a major change that you believe would better your working conditions, now’s the day to implement it. Delay will only dull your fervor. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Trust your instincts, common sense and good judgment. Snap decisions could actually turn out to be better than those over which you ponder for some time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Timing can be extremely important in situations where you are trying to put together some kind of deal. Don’t present your case without having all your ducks in a row, and don’t delay the arrangement of said quackers, either. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You might not have any fresh ideas yourself, but there will be no one better than you for improving upon the innovations of others. You’ll know how to polish up what they envision. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — This could be one of your better days, with everything going well. The happiest surprise, however, will be running into excellent bargains for everything you need. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

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.

Four Turns

FOR 200 Hendrick Motor1 LOOKING sports has been sitting on career Cup
SPRINT CUP SERIES Track: Richmond International Raceway Location: Richmond, Va. When: Saturday, April 28 TV: FOX (7:00 p.m. EST) Layout: .75-mile D-shaped oval Banking/Turns: 14 degrees Banking/Frontstretch: 8 degrees Banking/Backstretch: 2 degrees 2011 Winners: Kyle Busch/Kevin Harvick Crew Chief’s Take: “Richmond is a fast short track that has a lot of challenges. It almost drives like a superspeedway because the corner speed is very high. It takes the right balance of having the car turn in the center of the corner without giving up forward drive off the corner. Fuel mileage and pit strategy come into play at times, so you need to make sure you stay on top of that throughout the race. Richmond is a track where a driver can make a big difference. If you want to talk about a balance between what the drivers like and what the fans like, Richmond probably strikes the best balance in NASCAR. There aren’t many races that teams look forward to more.”
victory No. 199 since Jimmie Johnson won at Kansas Speedway in Oct. 2011 — a span of 14 races. In that time, HMS entries have finished second or third eight times. Six of those runs are credited to Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. LOOKING FOR 200, PART 2 Denny Hamlin’s win in the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was the 199th Grand National/Cup win for a car numbered 11. All of Hamlin’s 19 career wins have come in the No. 11 car. The list of other drivers who have piloted a No. 11 car is a who’s who of racing greats: Junior Johnson (11 wins), Ned Jarrett (49), Bobby Allison (3), Buddy Baker (2), Cale Yarborough (55), Darrell Waltrip (43), Terry Labonte (4) and Bill Elliott (6). ON A ROLL Over the last 13 races (dating back to the Talladega race in Oct. 2011), Martin Truex Jr. has enjoyed the best average finish of any driver on the Cup circuit. Truex’s 8.38place average finish nips Tony Stewart’s 8.53. Stewart, however, has earned five wins in that span, along with a Sprint Cup title. TURNING THE CORNER IN 2012 Twenty-two year old James Buescher is off to a flying start with Turner Motorsports this season. The Plano, Texas, native scored an unlikely — and his first — win in the Nationwide Series race at Daytona to start the season. Last weekend at Kansas, Buescher drove to his first career Truck Series victory. Buescher, who finished third in the Truck Series standings last season, is currently ranked second with three top 10s in four races.

Denny Hamlin outguns Martin Truex Jr. at Kansas Speedway
ASP, Inc.
Denny Hamlin takes the checkered flag in Sunday’s STP 400 at Kansas Speedway.
By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor
It seemed a formality that once Martin Truex Jr. had fended off a vicious challenge from Jimmie Johnson that Michael Waltrip Racing would score its first Sprint Cup Series win since 2010. Truex had led 173 laps and seemed on virtual cruise control as the laps ticked away in the STP 400 from Kansas Speedway. He pulled away for chunks of laps at a time after green flag pit stops — 45, 81 and 43 consecutive laps led on successive occasions — separating himself from the runner-up competitor by whole seconds. Then, with about 35 laps to go, something happened to Truex’s Toyota. According to team co-owner Michael Waltrip, the sun came out and changed the track, loosening up the car. Truex, however, was unhappy with the last set of tires that he reckoned did not agree with his machine. Whatever the reason, a charging Denny Hamlin caught Truex and got by shortly after the final round of green flag pit stops to score his second win of the season.
Hamlin’s race-winning pass came on lap 237 of 267, and despite a lastditch banzai effort with three laps remaining by Truex to reclaim the lead, the aero advantage Hamlin enjoyed carried him to the win. “I knew that the only advantage that I had is when his (Truex’s) car got so loose that last run, I was able to make up a lot of time on entry and a lot of time on exit (in and out of the corners) because he was really fighting his car,” Hamlin said. “So really, as the driver behind, you can manipulate his car and make it worse for him by getting up close to him — and that’s what I kind of did a few laps leading up to when we passed him, is that I tried to run as close up to him on entry as I could and as close on exit. It takes away rear grip, and to a car that was as loose as what his was, they have no choice really but to back off and not wreck their car.” The win at the 1.5-mile intermediate oval was somewhat of a surprise, in that Hamlin’s best finish on a comparable track this season was 11th. “We just need to make 10 race cars just like this one and we’ll be fine,” Hamlin said. “There’s always things, areas that you need to work in. We feel like we’ve identified
I Dodge continues to search for a flagship
team for the 2013 season and beyond since Penkse Racing’s announcement that it will switch to Ford next year. Penske was the only multi-car team that sported the Dodge brand, building engines and chassis out of its own shop. What team will land with Dodge is the question at the moment — and no one seems to have any clues as to which organization will make what amounts to a momumental shift. Richard Petty Motorsports — at least in the rumor mill — has been at the forefront of speculation. RPM currently runs Fords as a satellite operation of Roush Fenway Racing. RPM receives Roush-Yates engines (which supplies most of the
those areas and we’ve gone to work on them. “So right now I feel like we’re bringing better race cars to the racetrack than what we have, and it’s still going to take time. As for Truex, he and crew chief Chad Johnston continue to knock on Victory Lane’s door. Six of his finishes have been eighth or better this season and he has yet to finish outside of the top 20. That performance — he has averaged a 4.8-place finish in the last five races — places him second in the Sprint Cup point standings. “The NAPA team was phenomenal today,” Truex said. “Just not really sure what to think about that last set of tires. (The) car had been really good all day, (then we) put the last set on and I was wrecking loose for the first 20 laps of that last run and Denny was able to get by me and once he did the race was over. “(The) car got better longer in the run and I was able to get back to him, but I’d get three, four car lengths from him and pick up the aero push.” Johnson held on for third after pit strategy forced him to climb out of a late-race hole. Matt Kenseth and points-leader Greg Biffle rounded out the top 5.
Ford teams) and chassis from RFR. What appears to be paramount is that Dodge needs a team that can produce its own engines and chassis. However, when asked at Kansas, Richard Petty was neutral on the speculation linking his team with Dodge. “Right now, we’ve got our sponsors pretty much lined up for next year,” Petty told ESPN. “Where we go with the cars and engines and things like that ... we’ve got a plan, but I don’t know if anybody is going to go along with it. “(Dodge) got a plug pulled out of them and wasn’t really expecting it. We’ll consider going anywhere to make a living out of this. Right now, we’re still up with the Ford deal and we’re doing everything we can to win races with them.”

Classic Moments Richmond International Raceway
After winning nine of the previous 10 Richmond races at what was then the .542-mile Richmond Fairgrounds, Richard Petty’s magical run came to an end courtesy of a blown engine in October 1975. After Petty’s motor expired 34 laps into the Capital City 500, Dave Marcis, Lennie Pond and Cale Yarborough traded licks, with Pond having led the most laps (205) on the afternoon. However, Darrell Waltrip, racing the No. 88 DiGard Chevy, passed Pond on lap 375 and lapped the field from there. Waltrip’s win was the first of 43 career Cup victories for the DiGard operation (26 with Waltrip). After Waltrip left in 1980, the DiGard team would find success with Bobby Allison, Ricky Rudd and in the Firecracker 400 at Daytona with Greg Sacks.
Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: This is Denny Hamlin’s home track, and he treats it as such, with two wins and only one finish outside of the top 15 in his 12 Cup starts at Richmond. Pretty Solid Pick: Hamlin’s teammate, Kyle Busch, needs to turn his season around. His three wins and 12 top 10s in 14 Cup starts bode well. Good Sleeper Pick: Might Clint Bowyer give MWR its first win of the 2012 season? Runs on Seven Cylinders: Brad Keselowski has yet to score a top 10 in Cup competition at RIR in five starts. Insider Tip: This is one of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s best tracks and Steve Letarte can tune the car here. HMS win No. 200? ASP, Inc.

The Biff’s fifth-place run at Kansas was his series-best fifth top-5 showing of the season. This re-vamped Roush Fenway group is clicking on all cylinders at the moment. One of only four drivers this season with six top 10s, Johnson seems poised to be the man who gets Rick Hendrick his 200th career Cup win. Gotta get over the hump, though. Enjoying the most productive string of races in his Cup career, Truex need only worry about peaking too soon. Though it’s doubtful race car drivers worry about stuff like that. Bet you didn’t notice, but Kenseth is rolling with three consecutive top 5s. This is a team that will cruise through the season at this level and probably have something in reserve for the Chase. The good news: Junior is tied with three other drivers for the most top 10s in 2012 (6). The bad news ... well, I think we all know what the bad news is. Richmond may put an end to it, though. Stewart is all over the board, which makes him a hard one to figure. He’s either scoring a win or finishing somewhere between 13th-25th. Hamlin is a tough one to figure, as well. Despite the fact that Joe Gibbs Racing, as a whole, is having a down year, he’s still managed a pair of wins. He’s gunning for a third in his home state on Saturday. Edwards finally led a lap after going through the first seven races without sitting atop the pylon. Unfortunately for Carl, he only led one at Kansas, but drove to a respectable top-10 finish. Watching Harvick race with nemesis Kyle Busch at Kansas, you just got the idea Harvick was toying with him. If Penske could clean up the mechanical bugs, Keselowski could contend for a title. For a driver known for his consistency, Newman has been downright inconsistent this year. Consecutive top 10s following the off week which followed a disasterous start to the season. The 18 team appears to be heading in the right direction, but we’ll see ... It’s almost time for Gordon to start gunning for wins in order to receive a Wild Card slot in the Chase. Like many others, Bowyer’s engine went sour at Kansas. Give this team some time. Joey Logano, Mark Martin, Jamie McMurray, Paul Menard, Juan Pablo Montoya

When the high school basketball team was disbanded in the middle of the 1912 season for the lack of fan support, many questions needed to be answered, almost all of them dealing with the future of the sport at Piqua High School. Whatever decisions were being made, they were not shared with the community. There were two articles in the local newspaper in regard to high school basketball, both of them posing questions and asking for answers. The first appeared on November 12. “Although it is a little previous to talk basket ball in this section of the country, it is only neces-
sary to state that P.H.S. has a very good chance not to be represented upon the floor this season. “The High school has some excellent material for a team this season, but it seems there is some trouble in renting a hall. “In the past P.H.S. has played all home games at St. George’s Hall. But the last two years some trouble was experienced in coming to terms with the committee having charge of the hall. “A good rent was paid but the committee complained of the use of too much light; they also refused to keep the hall warm during the players practice hours. “Several bad colds resulted for the men on the

the near future to arrange for the rental of the hall on such terms that the committee as well as the P.H.S. Athletic Board will be satisfied.” The second and final article appeared on December 6. “With Christmas not far away the basketball bugs are wondering where the P.H.S. schedule is hidden. Up to the present time not a whisper has been heard from the management as to the whereabouts of the date list. “It looks as if the Red and Blue will not be represented upon the basketball floor this winter and the admirers of the local High school five are not at all pleased.” “Up until within the
past two years basketball was a paying proposition for the school. “The last couple of years, however, has found the Red and Blue far in the hole financially at the end of the seasons. “Citizens and the student body both have seemed to have lost interest in the sport and the Red and Blue on several occasions played to almost empty houses. Then the players became discouraged towards the end of last season and finished the schedule with the poorest record ever made upon the slippery by a P.H.S. five. “The last game with Troy on the gridiron this

From Manning to Luck No surprises at top of NFL draft

Andrew Luck is all smiles after being the first pick in the NFL draft.
ulating Luck while the crowd chanted "RG3, RG3." Luck left the stage and slapped hands with some fans in Colts shirts and headed to the interview room. To get Griffin, Washington dealt a second-round pick this year and its firstrounders in 2013 and '14 to St. Louis to move up four spots Dressed in a light blue suit that didn't quite mesh with Redskins burgundy and gold, Griffin had some trouble getting the team hat over his braids and ended up wearing it just a tad crooked while he flashed big smiles for photos. Less than an hour before Goodell began the draft, Cleveland and Minnesota pulled off another trade in what would become a virtual swap shop. The Browns moved up just one spot, from fourth to third, to ensure getting running back Trent Richardson of national champion Alabama. Minnesota received picks in the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds and still was in position to get one of the elite prospects in this draft. Like Griffin, Richardson was treated with lusty cheers from the crowd. Unlike Griffin, he had less trouble placing the Cleveland hat over his impressive dreads.
Minnesota then took Southern California offensive tackle Matt Kalil, whom the Vikings were expected to take at No. 3 anyway. Luck's good fortune put him in a similar position to Stanford predecessors Jim Plunkett, who won two Super Bowls for the Raiders, and John Elway, who led Denver to two NFL titles. He is the fourth consecutive quarterback chosen first and 12th in the last 15 years, dating back to Manning. Elway now runs the Broncos and recently signed Manning as a free agent after Manning missed all of last season following neck surgery. Indianapolis was the only team in the first seven picks to stay put. After Minnesota took Kalil, Jacksonville jumped up two spots, trading with Florida neighbor Tampa Bay to get Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon, the top receiver in this crop. "It just goes to show you that anything can happen," Blackmon said, referring to the Jaguars going after him. St. Louis must have liked dealing down because the Rams did it again, trading with Dallas, which was 14th overall. The Cowboys selected LSU's Morris Claiborne, the top cornerback, adding him to free agent signing Brandon Carr.

Continued from page 13 can help them close the gap on Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cincinnati in the AFC North. Richardson said he wasn't bothered by Brown's comment. "I have a lot to play for," he said. "I've got a lot to prove. I'm an ordinary human, but as a back, I'll be a special guy." Cleveland's rushing game was inconsistent last season, ranking 28th overall. Peyton Hillis, who rushed for nearly 1,200 yards in 2010, was unreliable and injured. Montario Hardesty struggled with injuries for the second year in a row, and third-down specialist Brandon Jackson missed the whole season with a foot injury. When Hillis, who missed one game with strep throat and had other off-field issues, left as a free agent, it left a gaping hole in Cleveland's ground game. Shurmur feels Richardson will plug it. "Dependability in a player is very important," Shurmur said. "The other guys on the team, the coaches, our fans, they need to know that our players are going to show up. I've seen this in this player." ■ The Cleveland Browns picked Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden at No. 22 in the NFL draft, a selection that could signal the end of Colt McCoy as a starter. Weeden is a 28-year-old former minor league baseball player, whose age was seen as a downside by some teams. However, the Browns view him as a potential upgrade at the most vital position. McCoy has struggled in his two seasons as a starter, and although he has more pro experience than Weeden, the Browns will surely give the rookie a chance to take over Cleveland's offense. Browns general manager Tom Heckert said last week that he didn't have any problem with Weeden's age. Earlier, the Browns moved up to the No. 3 spot to select Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
Trade down for lineman CINCINNATI (AP) — The Bengals took cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick from Alabama with the 17th overall pick in the draft, trying to fill one of their two most glaring needs. The Bengals had one of the best cornerback tandems in the NFL in Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall, but Joseph left for Houston after the 2010 season and Hall tore an Achilles tendon last year. Cincinnati got the pick from Oakland as part of the deal for quarterback Carson Palmer, which didn't turn out so well for the Raiders, who failed to reach the playoffs last season. Cincinnati also had its own pick, at No. 21, in the round. They traded down to 27 nd picked Wisconsin offensive guard Kevin Zeithler. The Bengals also need to get a receiver to complement A.J.

Browns year, Heckert passed up taking Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones at No. 6 and acquired extra picks from the Falcons. He used one of those — No. 118 — in the package for Richardson. During the offseason, the Browns fell short in their pursuit for quarterback Robert Griffin III. Cleveland was outbid by Washington, which selected the Heisman Trophy winner second overall. They weren't about to lose out on getting the best runner. "He's a terrific player and he's going to be a really fine addition," Shurmur said. "He's going to be one of those players who are fans will be able to watch run the ball for a lot of years." The Browns also have the No. 22 pick in the first round. In New York, Richardson was joined on stage by his two young daughters. "To them, this means they never have to go through what their daddy went through," said Richardson, recalling his mother worked "two and three jobs" while battling cancer as she raised him. Richardson is viewed as the most complete back in this year's draft and perhaps the best since Adrian Peterson in 2007. He can run inside the tackles for tough yards and bust outside for long gains. Richardson made a strong impression on the Browns during his pro day at Alabama when he flattened Cleveland running backs coach Gary Brown during a blocking drill. "I'm pretty sure I got their attention when I knocked him down," Richardson said in a conference call. Shurmur said he was certain Richardson should be the pick long before the 21-year-old's workout. Earlier in the day, Browns Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, who has been at odds with the organization for several years, called Richardson "ordinary." However, Brown's former team felt differently and selected a player whom they believe
NEW YORK (AP) — Six weeks after saying goodbye to Peyton Manning, the Indianapolis Colts handed Andrew Luck a blue and white jersey and the daunting task of leading a rebuilding team as its quarterback for the next decade. Luck couldn't have chosen a tougher act to follow — all Manning did was win an unprecedented four MVP awards and a Super Bowl for Indy. But many believe he is the most NFL-ready passer to enter the league since Manning went No. 1 overall in 1998. "You don't really replace a guy like that," Luck said. "You can't. You just try to do the best you can. Obviously, he was my hero growing up." His selection as the top pick was hardly a surprise. The Colts informed the Stanford quarterback last week that Commissioner Roger Goodell would announce his name first Thursday night. Right behind him was Baylor QB Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner, who was taken second overall by the Washington Redskins. No suspense attached to that pick, either. After being loudly booed at the outset, Goodell told a raucous crowd at Radio City Music Hall that "the season begins tonight, so let's kick if off." Then he did, congrat-

Bad time for Marshall to hang curveball Pagan homer allows Giants to avoid sweep CINCINNATI (AP) — Sean Marshall often goes to his curveball as an out pitch. It didn't work that way against Angel Pagan. Pagan hit a hanging curve for a three-run homer in the ninth inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a 6-5 win over the Reds on Thursday. "The curveball's been a good pitch for me," said Marshall (0-2), who had his first blown save after converting four opportunities. "I've gotten some outs with it. The ball hung in the middle of the plate. He didn't get a good swing on it. What hurts is the guys played so well." Marshall, acquired from the Cubs during the offseason and moved to closer in spring training after Ryan Madson was lost to season-ending elbow-ligament replacement surgery, struggled from the beginning of his second outing in less than 24 hours. He walked Joaquin Arias to lead off the ninth, and Ryan Theriot followed with a single. After pinchhitter Brett Pill struck out, Pagan lofted a 1-2 pitch 386 feet into the left field seats to snap the Giants' losing streak in Cincinnati at seven games. The homer came on the first pitch after Pagan took what many in the crowd of 17,317 thought was strike three. "I didn't hit my spot with it," the left-hander said. "It was borderline. The next pitch was the one that mattered."
Manager Dusty Baker couldn't tell from the dugout if the pitch was a strike, but he knew Marshall wasn't as sharp as he had been. "That leadoff walk gets you into trouble," Baker said. "That curveball (to Pagan) kind of rolled. It's tough. He only gave up one home run all of last year (in 78 appearances). You hope history repeats itself." Javier Lopez (2-0) allowed two hits but no runs in the eighth to earn the win. Santiago Casilla struck out the side in the ninth for his second save in two opportunities. Jay Bruce hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning and Scott Rolen led off the seventh with his second of the season, both in the last two games, giving starter Homer Bailey a shot at evening his record at 2-2. Bailey lasted 6 1-3 innings, allowing seven hits and three runs — two earned — with two walks and six strikeouts. "I had some quick innings," said Bailey, who also had a run-scoring single in the second inning. "The fastball and (splitfinger) were working, and I was able to get some groundballs and some quick outs. I really felt like I should have put up a zero in the last inning, so in a roundabout way, I think I should've done a lot better than I did." Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval went 1 for 5, extending his seasonopening hitting streak to 19 games, a franchise

Giants starter Ryan Vogelsong gave up seven hits and four runs with two walks and five strikeouts in six innings. The Reds took a 2-0 lead in the second on Devin Mesoraco's sacrifice fly and Bailey's RBI single. The Giants capitalized on shortstop Zack Cozart's error to tie the score with two runs in the fourth inning. Bruce broke the tie with his fourth homer of the season, a 381-foot shot to right-center field that just cleared the glove of the leaping Pagan. The homer was Bruce's first since hitting two against the Miami Marlins on April 8. Pinch-hitter Gregor Blanco came up with a sacrifice fly to cut Cincinnati's lead to 4-3 in the seventh before Rolen's 429-foot homer.
AVONDALE, La. (AP) — Ken Duke and Cameron Tringale topped the Zurich Classic leaderboard at 7-under 65 on Thursday, leaving defending champion Bubba Watson six strokes back at TPC Louisiana in his first tournament since winning the Masters. Tringale birdied the final four holes and finished the round with eight birdies and a bogey. Duke had seven birdies in a bogey-free round. Both players are winless on the PGA Tour. "My game felt really nice for quite some time and don't know how to explain it," Tringale said. "Just playing with a little confidence and it goes a long way in this game. ... When I had chances to make birdies I was making them and made a couple 20-footers as well. “So, turned into a good day." Steve Stricker, Ernie Els, Daniel Chopra and Chris Stroud were a stroke back at 66. Ben Curtis, the Texas Open winner Sunday in San Antonio, was another shot behind along with John Rollins and Jason Dufner. Webb Simpson, a playoff loser last year in the event, had a 68. Watson had four birdies and three bogeys in his 71. Watson, playing the back nine first, was 2 over through the first seven holes. He birdied the par5 18th and followed with
three more birdies and a bogey on the front nine. "I'm very exhausted, tough trying to play golf today," said Watson, who took a two-week break after the Masters. "I can't hit a full swing yet. I knew I needed to be here being the defending champ for the local fans. So I'm here, but mentally I'm not here." Second-ranked Luke Donald opened with a 73. Tringale, coming off eighth-place finishes in the Houston Open and Texas Open, made the turn at 2 under and had a 5-under 31 on the back nine, highlighted by a 25foot birdie putt on the par4 15th and a 20-footer on the difficult par-3 17th. Duke, attempting to make the most of his opportunity after a two-year exile on the Nationwide Tour, made three consecutive birdies on the front nine to make the turn at 3 under and birdied the par5 11th and par-4 12th to get it to 5 under. He added birdies on the par-4 16th and par-5 18th. "The greens were good. Weren't too fast," Duke said. "You can't have them too fast here because of the wind and it will really will smack you. They're hole-able, receptive. The course is in good shape, great shape." Chopra, a two-time tour winner who has failed to make a cut this season, put himself in position to regain full-time status. The 66 was his first round
in the 60s this season. "The game has been fine, the results have been frustrating," he said. "The harder you press in this game the tougher it gets and when you get momentum going one way or the other, it's hard to break it, and I've been handling it the wrong way." Sticker, playing alongside Watson and Simpson, birdied four of his final five holes and saved his round with a nifty up and down on his final hole, the par-3 ninth. After his tee shot landed short and right of the green, he chipped to 7 feet and made the putt. "Getting up and down was a good momentum saver and a good way to finish the round," Stricker said. He was pleased to have a front-row seat for Watson's return. "It was interesting to see how he was going to play," Stricker said. "I'm sure the last two weeks have been a whirlwind I'm sure he's tired, I'm sure his focus isn't quite there." Els, playing in New Orleans for the first time since missing the cut in 2002, made the turn at 5 under, but lost a bit of momentum with a bogey on the par-3 17th. He rebounded with a birdie on his closing hole. "It was a tough day. You had to be on your game," said Els, who has two topfive finishes in his past four starts. "Good start and just kept at it."
Rosales finishes fast Four share lead at Mobile Bay MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Jennifer Rosales birdied five of the first seven holes on the back nine and finished with a 5-under 67 on Thursday in the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic for a share of the first-round lead with Katie Futcher, Lindsey Wright and Caroline Hedwall. Rosales, the Filipino player who won the last of her two LPGA Tour titles in 2005, had a birdie and a bogey on the front nine before making her back-nine move on The Crossings course at the Robert Trent
Jones Golf Trail's Magnolia Grove complex. The event was her first of the year on the tour. "I'm doing scuba diving in the offseason," Rosales said. "It's fun, I really love it. It's totally different from golf. That's it, that's what I've been doing back home. The 33-year-old Rosales has limited tour status after finishing 124th on the money list last year. "Actually, you know what? It's better not to expect anything," Rosales said. "I just came out here
and wanted to play and see this weekend. ... Actually, today was an easy day for me. I hit most of the fairways and greens. I only missed I think a green today. My putting was very good today." Futcher had the lead at 6 under after 17 holes, but dropped into a tie with a bogey on the par-4 ninth. She revealed that she recently switched from bacon to salami as her oncourse snack. "I've tried everything on the golf course," Futcher said.
