EF-5 tornado strikes Oklahoma Council Teachers credited with saving elementary students

BY DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) — The principal's voice came on over the intercom at Plaza Towers Elementary School: A severe storm was approaching and students were to go to the cafeteria and wait for their parents to pick them up.

But before all of the youngsters could get there, the tornado alarm sounded.

The plan changed quickly.

"All the teachers started screaming into the room and saying, 'Get into the hallway! We don't want you to die!' and stuff like that," said sixth-grader Phaedra Dunn. "We just took off running."

In the moments that followed, some of the children at Plaza Tower Elementary School would, in fact, die.At least seven were killed by the twister Monday afternoon. Others would crawl out of the rubble, bloodied and bruised, utterly terrified.

The tornado that smashed through this

Oklahoma City suburb of 56,000 people flattened Plaza Elementary and also slammed Briarwood Elementary, where all of the children remarkably appear to have survived.Students and parents recounted stories Tuesday of brave teachers who sheltered their pupils.

But there were also moments of pure panic and fear.

After the tornado alarm went off, students at Plaza Elementary scrambled to the halls.

Monies to be used for constructing educational facility PIQUA — After securing partial funding from the Paul G.Duke Foundation and the Ohio Historical Society, officials with Johnston Farm and Indian Agency, 9845 N. Hardin Road, held a fundraising kick-off at the site Tuesday evening in hopes of constructing an educational facility.

The educational addition would be located at the back of the museum’s entrance where the patio is presently located, but the project comes with a $167,000 price tag, said Andy Hite, the site manager at Johnston Farm.

So far, he said, the Duke Foundation inTroy has generously provided $25,000 while state’s historical society has provided $42,000.

“So we are looking to fund the rest of the project, which is about $100,000,” Hite said.”We want to turn it into a permanent school room and educational center with up-to-date (audio and visual) equipment. We’re hoping to put our canal exhibits there, which makes sense since the canal is right there.”

Wes Keifer, right, of Sidney, points out some of the artifacts that have been found during excavation of the Fort Pickawillany site on the John Johnston Farm & Indian Agency, to Piqua resident Ron Ventura duringTuesday's fundraising kick-off event at the farm to raise money to build classroom space onto the existing museum.Keifer is a long-time volunteer at the Johnston Farm and was involved in finding a number of the articfacts on display in the museum.

He also said the facility could be used for those who are seeking a place to hold a meeting or other function.

“We have been looking at this for a long time and now the time is right,” Hite said. “The funding has fallen into place for us and we

decided to launch the fundraising campaign.”

He said the plan is to have the new educational wing opened by April of 2014.

Those wishing to donate to the effort are encouraged to do so through the Piqua Community Foundation, 126 W. High St., Piqua, OH, or PO Box #226. The foundation can be reached via telephone at (937) 615-9080. Or, for more information, contact Hite at Johnston Farm at (937) 773-2522.

“This will be something that the people will really be able to appreciate,” Hite said. “This will give us permanent indoor space, which is what we really need.”

Jim Oda, the chairman of the Johnston Farm Friends Council, said the educational wing will be a great addition and encouraged those in the community to donate to the cause to enhance the value of the site.

“We have an opportunity to increase that value with the addition of a modern education center to the existing museum,”Oda said.

“By doing so, we will add a stateof-the-art classroom facility, expand the museum’s exhibit space, and create a community special events gathering place.”

Getting wet ‘n wild for a good cause Local fire department trains for water rescue

BY WILL E SANDERS Staff Writer wsanders@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — Usually water is one of the greatest weapons firefighters have in their arsenal, but in certain emergency situations, water can also serve as a great adversary.

Such was the case Monday along the muddy banks of the Great Miami River as members of the Piqua Fire Department suited up and got reacquainted with water rescue training.

And while the lifesaving training is of great importance, firefighters say they hope they never have to use it.

Members of the department spent the better part of the afternoon conducting the various methods and types of training in the water in between the Shawnee and Garnsey Street bridges.

The location of the training was near the spot of a fatal drowning that took place four years ago this summer.

On July 21, 2009, William Elliot Brown, 16, of Piqua, was hanging out with some of his friends at the river’s edge when he

COVINGTON — The Covington Village Council met on Monday evening and discussed upcoming events taking place in the village.

Mayor Ed McCord delivered the Mayor’s Report and reminded Council of the upcoming Memorial Day Parade happening at 1 p.m. on Monday, May 27. Village Administrator Mike Busse also reminded everyone of the village’s designated garage sale days of May 31 and June 1. Also, village clean-up days are scheduled for June 3, 4 and 5.

Village employees will be picking up extra items that are set out by village residents with their regular trash. This will be at no additional charge to residents for most items that are set out.

During the administrator’s report, Busse brought a new ordinance before council to be reviewed before it will be voted on.“planning and zoning is recommending to council that we pass an ordinance prohibiting the burial of construction, demolition and grubbing materials on-site in the village as well as prohibiting improper disposal of hazardous material,” Busse said.

“For example, if you tear a deck off the back of your house, we don’t really want people to dig a big hole in their backyard and pile that stuff in and bury it. We really want them to take it to the landfill and the solid waste disposal site.”

Busse informed council of the plans for work to begin on the 2013 Sidewalk Program by M & T in the first week of June and should be complete by July 1. There are also four monthly mosquito sprayings scheduled to begin this week done

by Bug A Boo Inc. The monthly sprayings will take place in May, June, July and August.

Council was also reminded of the upcoming Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure, or GOBA, event that will be passing through Covington on Tuesday June 18, on their 25th Reunion Tour. “GOBA is a weeklong bicycle trip and they are coming through here on the morning of the 18th and they are stopping at the Middle School,” McCord said.

“We have received a donation of $3,600 from the Community Chest to cover the cost of purchasing Covington lapel pins as it is a tradition to distribute the pins to the participating riders at the stops along their route.We greatly appreciated their donation for the pins and it will help promote Covington as a great place to visit and live.”

with a dip in the river, but Ganger advises against that.

“It’s easy for them to get out there, lose their strength and then panic,” Ganger said. “That’s when they go down, and that’s always bad.”

Ganger said the department decided to perform the exercise to “re-familiarize” themselves with the boats, diving equipment and rescue maneuvers.

“This is a refresher for

It serves as a potent reminder of the dangers associated with the river and why firefighters continually train to learn or hone their lifesaving capabilities in the event of tragedy, said Piqua Fire Capt. Kevin Ganger.

With schools letting out for the summer and temperatures on the rise, it’s just a matter of time before children or teens think about cooling off

Ohio Briefs Inmate walks away from garage duty LEBANON (AP) — The Ohio prisons department says an inmate is missing after walking away from his work assignment as an auto mechanic.

The Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says Stephen Ramey was last seen shortly before noon Tuesday at the garage at Lebanon Correctional Institution in southwest Ohio.

The garage, where state vehicles are repaired, is outside the prison’s security perimeter in a minimumsecurity camp.

The state says the 35year-old Ramey was admitted to prison in March on a one-year sentence for a burglary conviction out of Montgomery County and was scheduled for release in January.

The state’s last walkaway inmate was captured within a day after leaving a prison garage at Mansfield Correctional Institution in December 2011.

Ohio reveals where new 70 mph speed limit applies COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio Department of Transportation has revealed which sections of rural interstate highway will have a higher speed limit of 70 mph instead of 65 mph starting July 1.

The department said Tuesday that the limit will increase on more than 570 miles of interstate highway.

The increase applies to parts of Interstates 70, 71, 75, 76, 77 and 90 but doesn’t include sections of those roads in major metropolitan areas and a few smaller cities along the way.

More than 300 signs will be made to alert drivers about the new limits.

A 70-mph limit already is in effect for the Ohio Turnpike stretching across the northern part of the state.

Ex-AG applies for law license COLUMBUS (AP) — Former Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann has applied to have his law license reinstated now that he’s served a six-month suspension related to ethics violations.

Dann resigned as Ohio’s chief law enforcer in 2008 amid a sexual harassment scandal and later pleaded guilty to ethics violations

involving campaign and transition funds.

The Ohio Supreme Court ordered a half-year suspension of his law license in November. The suspension, which ended Monday, was half the one-year term that was at one time recommended for Dann.

The court gave him credit for fulfilling his community service obligations, paying his fines and submitting character references from judges.

But justices said Dann’s former position set him apart from other lawyers, his conduct displayed poor judgment and his reasons for the conduct were ultimately unsatisfactory.

Deadly fall is third recently in Hocking Hills LOGAN (AP) — The second deadly fall in three days in the Hocking Hills region of southeastern Ohio occurred near a waterfall, officials said Monday.

The latest fatal fall occurred Monday afternoon near Cedar Falls waterfall in Hocking Hills State Park, about 45 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio Department of Natural Resources spokesman Mark Bruce said. No other details about the victim or the circumstances were immediately available.

It would be the third fallrelated death in the area in the past month.

A Dayton-area man died Saturday afternoon when he fell about 130 feet from the top of a cliff while rappelling in Hocking Hills State Forest. A report released Monday identified him as 52-year-old Peter Livingston of Centerville.

Livingston had accompanied a Boy Scout troop and was rappelling in a rockclimbing area when he fell, Bruce said.

Late last month, separate falls at the state park left a young man dead and a young woman seriously injured. A 19-year-old Columbus man left a marked hiking trail to climb a rock face and fell about 60 feet from a cliff on April 27. In a different part of the park that day, a 23year-old Chillicothe-area woman left a trail, slipped on the edge of a cliff and fell about 100 feet.

As Memorial Day weekend kicks off the summer season that draws more hikers, state officials are encouraging visitors to act responsibly and wear appropriate safety equip-

Serving Piqua since 1883

“LORD, what is man, that you take knowledge of him! or the son of man, that you make account of him! Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passes away.”

(Psalms 144:3-4 AKJV)

Commentary

A look behind the veil ep. Marlin Stutzman, from Indiana, heard about Dr. Kermit Gosnell in February and did what congressmen do: He went to the House floor and pleaded with the media to cover the case of the since-convicted Philadelphia abortion doctor whose filthy clinic and horrible actions have exposed the ugly truths behind abortion.

“I went to the floor because innocent life is worth defending,” Stutzman tells me.“A monster in Philadelphia ... murdered newborn babies, preyed on vulnerable women and stuffed bodies into freezers, bags and cat-food tins.”

“The American people deserved to know the truth about it, and I was seeking to raise awareness,” he says.

But that day in March when he found himself talking about Gosnell on the House floor, he had no idea how personal an issue this would become for him. In a phone call home to his mom days later, he would discover that he was the son of a mother who had nearly had him aborted.

“I could never imagine how this case would change my own life,” he KATHY LOPEZ tells me. “When my mom Columnist told me her story -- how her house had just burned down,how she was alone and terrified and how she wanted to find a way to make it 40 miles to get an abortion, but couldn’t -- we both cried.”

“I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if there was a Gosnell clinic four miles away instead of 40,” he reflects. “How many more fathers, wives, teachers, doctors and public servants are missing today because of abortion?”

R

The frightened teenage girl. The single inner-city mom who has made some bad choices and doesn’t quite know what she can do.The 20-something on a career track whose boyfriend is not up to the task of fatherhood.The busy young couple that determines it is not the right time.These are all real scenarios, involving real fears, influenced deeply by a culture that pretends abortion is a quick fix, a solution to a problem.

The health of not just our citizens but our national soul demands that we do a better job, that we work hard to foster and nourish life, both in the womb and outside of it. It’s the only way to ensure a society that lives up to the ideals it was founded upon.

“We have to stand for life,for babies and for young women like my mom,” Stutzman says. “While Planned Parenthood talks about ‘choice,’ the sad reality is that the abortion business depends on women who feel like they don’t have another option. We need to show compassionate action and offer help to the women who find themselves in an unimaginably hard situation.”

In the wake of the Gosnell verdict, we cannot be satisfied with merely moving on or even simply knowing that Congress has now made moves toward investigating what’s happening in abortion clinics across the nation.

“There is no moral distinction between ending a child’s life five seconds after birth or five weeks before,” Stutzman emphasizes.“It doesn’t matter who you are,if you can’t come out and say it’s wrong to kill newborns, you need to examine your conscience,” Stutzman says.The nation needs to do just that right about now,knowing that infanticide happens, and in the cleanest clinics and hospitals, not just in a Gosnellian nightmare.

Here,perhaps we could consider that even the word“abortion,” which occasionally creeps out from under the euphemisms, is a euphemism in itself, similar to the military’s use of “collateral damage” to mean dead civilians. We all know what’s really happening here.

Politics

Crackdown advancing COLUMBUS (AP) — State lawmakers in Ohio are moving fast on proposals cracking down on storefront sweepstakes parlors whose legality has been questioned.

Committee votes were scheduled Tuesday on a pair of bills, one effectively banning the so-called Internet cafes and another extending an existing moratorium on setting up any new venues.

Floor votes on both could come as soon as Wednesday.

The bills follow raids on the establishments in Cleveland and Youngstown joined

by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. DeWine has pointed to a recent court ruling that declares the establishments illegal. Backers say if they weren’t legal then legislators wouldn’t need to make the changes to Ohio law they have planned.

Sudoku Puzzle

Double with even, pass with odd

Assume you’re South and the bidding goes as shown. West’s seven-heart bid over your Blackwood four notrump has robbed your partner of the opportunity to indicate how many aces he has. As a result of West’s nuisance bid, you don’t know whether to double seven hearts (and collect a few

hundred points) or to bid seven spades (and collect 2,210 points if North has the missing ace).

Problems of this sort occur once in a while, and there is a sensible way of dealing with them. The method that many experts use to combat opposing interference over Blackwood is fairly simple, but it does require a prearranged partnership understanding.

Briefly stated, it is this: If the Blackwood bidder’s partner doubles the interference bid, he says that he has either no aces or two aces. This is easy to remember mnemonically because the natural tendency, with no aces, would be to double to keep partner from bidding further.

If the Blackwood bidder’s partner passes the interference bid, he indicates that he has either one ace or three aces. By applying this mechanism to the present case, South knows that North has an ace when he passes West’s seven-heart bid. South therefore bids seven spades and collects 2,210 points.

Some players call this convention DEPO. This is simply an acronym where the letters DE stand for Double with an Even number of aces (zero or two), and PO stands for Pass with an Odd number of aces (one or three).

More concisely, the rule is: Double with even, pass with odd. Using this method, the Blackwood

GOLDEN YEARS

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

God’s ways are not our ways his is Tuesday evening around 10 p.m. It’s late and I should join the rest of the family and go to bed. It seems our days are extra filled with all the extra cleaning we are doing plus gardening.

Tonight we were out in the garden planting until 8:30 p.m. We planted 92 tomato plants. I am glad we waited to plant as we had 29 degrees yesterday morning.

It seems very empty tonight as daughter Lovina went home from school with a friend. Only one person missing makes such an empty spot. I often think of families that lose a child or parent and the emptiness that must be felt in the house. It will be 3 years next week that sister Emma and Jacob’s little 8 month old Marilyn was laid to rest. We still have precious memories of her short stay here on Earth. God’s ways are not our ways. Our children are a gift to us from God and only “He” knows when “He” wants them back in “His” care. Mother would always tell us to pray daily before and after the birth of each child. Who can help us better than God to raise our dear children in this world so full of hate and sin?

Today we were cleaning in the basement again. We were gathering things we don’t use or need. I’m hoping I can have a garage sale next week to get rid of the extras.The basement seems to be our place to accumulate so much. Since we skipped having church services here a year ago because of the fire we never did give the basement a thorough cleaning. With the heating stove down there all winter it accumulates dust. The water that was sprayed from the fire in the boys bedroom seeped all the way to the basement making black markings here and there.

Thursday will be the wedding for Joel and Alma.

Susan’s suit is all done.

Meanwhile, a friend from church is helping out by sewing daughter Elizabeths’s cape and apron for her suit. Elizabeth was able to sew the dress but the wedding day was coming up too fast for her to get the other items done.

Daughter Lovina will have her 9th birthday on Saturday, May 18. She is excited about that and is having her school friends over on Monday, May 20 for a sleepover. She already has the evening planned. How could 9 years have passed so quickly? We had only been living in Michigan for eight weeks before she was delivered by emergency c-section 3 weeks before her due date.

I didn’t even have a doctor here in Michigan yet so we had some anxious moments.

Smiling along with Earl ix years ago, Earl came home with me.

He wasn’t exactly a rescue dog because I paid big dollars for him (without RB’s knowledge) but he really needed a family. The day before, we lost our beloved Beagle, Chance; grief-wise, we weren’t going to make it.

The pet shop people repeatedly mentioned the puppy’s birthday was Christmas day. So — did that mean he expected two presents on the 25th?

I later realized they were telling me the little Westhighland Terrier was nearly six months old, never socialized. His price was marked down because he’d been there too long. He was accustomed to doing all his elimination in his glass cage; he had no choice!

House-breaking him was a tough job. He stayed in his wire “bedroom” only when we were away, never longer than two hours at most. We could expect a mess when we returned; he had a shower every Sunday.

He not only spread it all over the cage, he played in it. And smiled about it! He was a little guy, weighing 9 pounds when I brought him home. His top weight now is 18 pounds, after a haircut. Pound for pound, he’s the best investment I ever made and most of that is solid love. He guards our entire corner, and the other side of the street as well.

Westies aren’t aggressive but if a disagreement arises with another dog, a Westie

With asparagus season still in full swing, try this delicious recipe!

ASPARAGUS EGG CASSEROLE 2 cups fresh cooked asparagus 4 eggs, boiled, peeled, and chopped 1 /4 cup flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheese Bread crumbs, 2 – 3 slices crumbled 4 tablespoons butter Place eggs in the bottom of greased casserole dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drain asparagus and reserve 1 cup of juice (water asparagus was cooked in). Place drained asparagus on top of eggs.

In a saucepan melt butter and then mix in flour. Add milk and 1 /2 cup asparagus juice. As the mixture begins to thicken add the rest of the juice. Continue to stir until mixture thickens. Pour the thick sauce over the eggs and asparagus. Sprinkle cheese on top. Add bread crumbs.

won’t back down. Size doesn’t matter; they don’t know they’re little. Earl’s “girlfriend” is a big, blonde Labrador. He assumes everyone loves him because he loves everyone, including cats.

Westies are an offshoot of Scottish Terriers. Until the 1800’s, a white puppy born into a litter of black Scotties was destroyed.

When someone decided to save them, they became a new breed. White dogs were easier to see in the fields and Westies love to work. Their short legs allow them to enter low caves and crevices to chase small from the varmints fields/gardens. The short, thick tail was used as a handle to pull them out of holes too shallow for Uturns. Their feet turn outwards, like a duck, and are better than a shovel for digging. (He’s still learning that our yard is not for digging.) Within a year, he destroyed all the ugly slugs from our yard, after I’d fought them for years. His white coat gets filthy fast!

RB showers him without much difficulty but he regularly visits his Beauty Shop for nail care and haircuts. He thinks the place is so special that he smiles as he runs to greet everyone before going where he’s supposed to start.

It’s amazing to consider the many words he has learned in these six years.

The average dog knows at least 30 and can learn up to 160 or more. We’ve found it

necessary to spell words when we don’t want him in the conversation; he’s inclined to eavesdrop. Now we find the boy can spell familiar words, like “ball, porch, leash, car, cookie, go, car.” A favorite word is “coming.” When he hears that, he dashes to the window to see who it might be.

A magnificent word and person is “Mailman.” Just the word “mail” sends him to the door. That man collects scents on his route, along with the smell of mail he carries.

Earl thinks he’s wonderful and wants to smell all our mail. If he misses him at the door, he runs to the window to watch him walk back to the mail truck. The mailman says he appreciates that someone cares about him.

Every year, Earl goes to church for the Blessing of the Animals and wears a St. Francis metal on his collar. (He needs all the blessings he can get.) He’s never disgraced himself there but his presence wasn’t appreciated by a cat, and a dog took a dislike to him without provocation. It’s interesting to see instinct at work, as he does something we would have expected him to learn from his birth family.

One example is burying the bone, or cookie, or treat He doesn’t ask to take his prize outside but finds safe spots in the house. Laundry left on the floor is a preferred place, or under a throw rug or a piece of fur-

CAROLYN STEVENS Columnist niture. After much time involved in burying his loot, we’ve watched him recover it and move it to another area. His bed is rarely a choice; anyway he usually sleeps in RB’s recliner.

Frequent ballgames through the day are essential. Visitors are forced into play, whether they want to or not. To get attention, he drops the ball so it can be heard, repeating that until he gets a partner. The hard and fast game goes about five minutes before he puts the ball down and sits beside it. We’ve had a few small items broken during the game but it’s been the fault of the thrower, not the retriever. There are a dozen balls all over the house (he’s not good about picking up his toys) but there is only one B-A-L-L. Like a baby with a favorite pacifier, no substitute will suffice. It’s a major crisis when the ball gets lost — in the flower bed or even the cellar. We search hard and suffer until it’s found, when we all really do smile along with him.

■ Grandparenting ear Grandparenting: When I was a everybody kid, pretty much wanted to be a goody two shoes. I would say that went for 98 percent of the girls. There were always some boys who walked on the wild side, but the girls stayed on the straight and narrow. That is why I am so puzzled by my granddaughter. She doesn’t even pretend she’s good.

She is all attitude and mouth. What’s worse is how it pays off. She is Miss Popularity. She has more girl friends than anyone. She has boy friends lined up around the block. She gets positive attention for being negative. It just reinforces her and makes her think she is the winner.

What is it about our grandchildren’s generation that finds something to admire about how my granddaughter acts? She is nothing but a cobra waiting to strike out at whatever and whoever gets in her way.

Miss Popularity grandchildren who seem possessed by this modern evil of incivility. It didn’t used to be this way. In the short span of two generations – the time it took for yesterday’s grandchildren to become today’s grandparents – the value system of many youth has gone south.

Why? Your comment about how your granddaughter receives “posiattention being tive negative” goes to the heart of the matter. This type of behavior plays well within your granddaughter’s social group because it allows her to intimidate and manipulate others. She’s the fearful Queen Bee, large and in charge of her environment.

On the other hand, she likely has real difficulty developing deep, intimate peer relationships, since it

would expose the vulnerabilities she wants to hide.

The bag of tricks that allows your granddaughter to achieve world domination of her social set loses its effectiveness at home or with family.

Instead of positive attention, it generates tension and animosity – self-respecting grandparents aren’t about to roll over and play helpless when presented with such punkish behavior. Turning it around isn’t easy. Begin by ignoring behavior used to get attention or something denied. Insist she ask for things in an appropriate way, and reward her when she does. Avoid power struggles – when things degenerate into chaos, everybody loses.

■ Surviving Diabetes

Only time will tell on potential changes ometimes we don’t do as we’re told. Sometimes this comes around to bite us in the butt as I well learned Monday night. Like everyone, my life is very busy.

When I have a sugar problem, I treat it and move on because there’s always something that needs to be done or somewhere to go. Because of this busyness, I didn’t notice a pattern until it destroyed my perfect 24 hours! You may remember reading one of my columns a little while back about my no-hitter. I was just three hours away from having another one!

Those of you who missed the no-hitter column are probably wondering what hours have to do with a no-hitter. You see, in the world of continuous glucose monitoring sensors, no-hitters refer to times when you’re able to

keep your blood sugar level between your high and low limits for 24 hours. Let me review here for anyone just joining us.

A continuous glucose monitoring sensors tells you what your blood sugar is every five minutes. You set a high and low limit and it will alert you if you are above your high or below your low. It will also alarm you if you are rising or falling. My low limit is set at 80. My high is set at 180. To say that staying between these two numbers is difficult is an enormous understatement!

But, I almost did it. From 9 p.m. Sunday night to 6 p.m. Monday, the graph on my Dexcom CGMS was perfect! The blood sugar line went right in between the 80 and 180 lines.

There were small peaks and valleys. It was by no means a straight line

(Even a non-diabetic person wouldn’t have a straight line), but it was between 80 and 180 for 21 hours! Then dinner happened.

I read labels, and used my best guessing for items that didn’t have labels, to come up with the amount of carbs I would be eating.

I entered this in my pump and let it figure up how much insulin I should give. Well, it was way too much! We rushed off to my son’s baseball game after dinner. As I sat there watching the first inning, I felt Dex vibrate in my pocket. Immediately I thought, Crap! There goes my no-hitter!

Luckily the concession stand offered a yummy way to treat my low while consoling myself for the ruined achievement. Isn’t it great that chocolate can serve two purposes! I was

eating my “treatment” when it hit me. I almost lost the no-hitter earlier that day too and come to think of it, that was right after lunch. And, come to think of it, I seem to go low pretty often after meals.

Hmmm, I saw the doctor last week and he told me my insulin to carbohydrate ratio was too high for the simple fact that according to him, someone my size should not need one unit of insulin to cover 10 carbs. He recommended I change to one for every 15 carbs. Now, I do do one for 15 during some of the day, but he thought I should never need more than that. Sure doc, good advice. I’ll take that into consideration when I have a minute (We’re back to that busyness again).

So, did I change the settings in my pump? No. Did

Project examines premature births

COLUMBUS (AP) — The March of Dimes is spending $10 million in Ohio for collaborative research into the problem of babies being born prematurely.

The project will draw on the expertise of hospitals in Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati to try to explain why babies are born too soon and to find ways to use that information to predict and prevent prematurity.

The Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday that participating universities and hospitals will turn to a diverse group of researchers, some of whom haven’t been involved in this kind of work before. They include evolutionary biologists, mathematicians, sociologists, psychologists and biomed-

ical engineers.

The Ohio group will involve Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus; the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center; and, in Cleveland, Case Western Reserve University, University MacDonald Hospitals Women’s Hospital, Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital and the MetroHealth System.

The Ohio participants also will work with scientists involved in a similar project based at Stanford University in California that started in 2011, and with experts at several other locations nationwide.

“In some ways, for prema-

turity researchers, Ohio is kind of the promised land and this is the golden age,” said Dr. Charles Lockwood, dean of Ohio State University’s College of Medicine.

One in nine children born in the U.S. arrives before 37 weeks of gestation. In Ohio, it’s one in eight, or more than 15,000 babies every year.

Care for these children can cost millions of dollars, and surviving babies can have serious health problems.

Research plans could include taking a closer look at potential environmental and genetic factors and learning more about why certain groups of women are more prone to early labor. Lockwood said research into Ohio’s Somali population, for example, could prove en-

lightening. Somali women have lower rates of prematurity while African-American women have extremely high rates, he said.

“One of the great unsolved mysteries in biology is what is the signal that says it’s an OK time for your baby to come out into the world,” said Dr. Louis J. Muglia, director of the Center for Prevention of Preterm Birth at Cincinnati Children’s and the leader of the Ohio initiative.

Dr. David Stevenson, who heads the project at Stanford, said he’s excited to work with the Ohio group.

“The March of Dimes is reaching out to the best scientists and saying, ‘Come on you guys, let’s fix this,’” he said.

my no-hitter get ruined because of it? Yes. So, even though my perfect 24 hours with Dex got messed up, something good did come of it. I sat right there at the ball field and changed my insulinto-carbohydrate ratio.

Hopefully now my meals won’t result in lows.

I know it will happen sometimes. No ratio or piece of technology is going to be perfect, but I think I’ll see a reduction in lows because of this change. The Dexcom CGMS lets you enter events such as meals when they take place. I have not been doing this, but I plan to start. This

Lehman hires new basketball coaches Tollefson, Hall tak over Cavalier programs

BY KEN BARHORST Civitas Media SIDNEY — John Tollefson wasn’t going to let the opportunity go by again.

A Cincinnati Moeller graduate, Tollefson said he thought about applying for the Lehman boys basketball job when it came open three years ago. But the posting said “previous experience required,” or something to that affect, and it scared him off.

Not this time, however.

Tollefson not only applied for the job, but he got it, athletic director Dick Roll announcing the decision Monday.

Tollefson was the head coach at Dayton Northridge last season and

guided the team to an 1113 record. That might not sound like much, but as Tollefson said, “Those 11 wins actually equalled the total from the previous two years,” so he was pleased with it. “We had a good year,” he said.

Prior to being the head coach at Northridge, Tollefson was an assistant coach for one year at Vandalia Butler. And he has 15 years of AAU coaching experience.

“We had three secondround candidates,” Roll said Monday. “John is what we were looking for in a coach. He will be dedicated, he’s big on getting the kids in the weight room, he’s enthusiastic and he will have discipline.”

Tollefson was one of two head coaches Roll announced on Monday. the other is Craig Hall, a Houston graduate who moved up from being an assistant coach last season to being the head coach this season.

Piqua team has good year The Piqua eighth grade softball team finished the season with a 13-4 record, good for third in the GWOC North.

The roster included Allysa Jones, Alexis Gordon, Rayna Brownlee, Cheyenne Clark, Amantha Gapriel, Kelsie Hall, Cheyenne Jacobs, Kendra Forness, Allison Powell, Olivia Price and Kalie Ware.

One highlight of the season was defeating Greenville, who was undefeated at the time, 3-2.

Clark, as a starting pitcher, had a record of 10-3, while Hall had a record of 3-1.

Jones led the hitting attack with a .661 average with five home runs and 27 RBI. Forness, Jones, and Clark combined for 68 RBI. Gordon and Brownlee scorched the base paths with 25 stolen bases combined.

The team played great defense throughout the whole season with every team member contributing.

Nothing to think about Mollette play helps Newton ‘snag’ D-IV sectional title

BY JOSH BROWN Civitas Media TIPP CITY — When Becca Carpenter sent a shot towards right field with the tying run on third base and two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Newton pitcher Kirsten Burden had little time to think about what was going a on.

Second baseman Madison Mollette had even less.

“I just knew that I had

to get it,” Mollette said.

The freshman leapt up, fully extended her arm and snared the line drive, ending the threat and keeping the Indians ahead by one run.

BROOKVILLE —A lot of teams feel like they have to be playing flawless softball at this point in the season.

The way Miami East hit the ball Monday, it could afford a couple of mistakes.

The Vikings (21-6) doled out 15 hits and posted six runs in the third inning during the Division III sectional title game Monday at Brookville, holding on from there to knock off Versailles 7-4 and advance to Saturday’s district final.

"We came out and hit the ball well, especially in the third inning to break it open," Miami East coach Brian Kadel said.

"We played pretty good defense for most of the game (three errors), but we didn't let them take advantage of many of our mistakes. We just battled.

"It wasn't perfect, but at this point in the season, it doesn't have to be. You've just got to find ways to win, and that's what we did."

Paige Kiesewetter — who struck out eight and got the win — was 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBIs, Kris Bigelow was 2for-3 with a double and two RBIs, Madison Linn

and Lindsey Brookhart were both 3-for-4 with a double, Christine Bowling doubled and Paige Mullen was 2-for-3.

Mullen also had a clutch play in the field that set the tone for the game. Versailles had a runner on second in the top of the first inning, and the Tigers tried to score her on a single to left. But Mullen came up gunning and threw a strike to catcher Sarah O'Neal to nail the runner at the plate.

"That was a big play early on," Kadel said. "It took some momentum away from them to start the game."

Miami East travels to Tipp City Saturday to face Madison in the district title game.

Lady Buccs win TIPP CITY — A sevenrun second inning got Covington rolling in a 122, five-inning run-rule victory over Russia in the sectional final at Tipp City on Tuesday.

Once the play was over, though, Burden had plenty of time to think about what had happened.

Reds benefit from error

Softball district championship.

Standing in the way is Franklin Monroe, who knocked off Tri-Village 98 in 12 innings at Newton High School.

"We're playing hard and staying focused," said Covington coach Dean Denlinger. "It's one game at a time."

Covington had runruled Russia twice during the season in a doubleheader, but the Raiders made things interesting early by recording outs on Covington's first three batters — one a pick-off at second on an attempted steal by Jessie Shilt.

"Russia played a good game and I'd like to give them credit for that," praised Denlinger . "They played solid defense."

But Covington just had too much offensive firepower and broke through in the bottom of the second inning for seven runs.

A two-run double by Brittanie Flora followed in the bottom of the fourth and Covington closed out the contest in the bottom of the fifth, the final run being scored by Heidi Snipes on a passed ball.

Casey Yingst went the distance for Covington, allowing four hits and striking out three batters.

Neither team committed an error in what was a stellar effort by both defenses.

The difference, however, was Covington's ability to hit the ball as it tallied 11 hits in the contest.

Brittanie Flora went 3for-3 with a two-run double, while Jessie Shilt went 2-for-2 with two RBI. Casey Yingst helped out her cause by driving in three runs on a 2-3 day and Heidi Snipes recorded an RBI double and went 2for-4.

Morgan Arbogast and Connor Schaffer both drove in runs and Haley Adams reached on a single.

Russia’s Olivia Monnin tripled and Kennedy Metz had two hits.

The Lady Raiders finished 10-18, while Covington improved to 27-0.

The Buccs will play Franklin Monroe at 11 a.m.

Saturday at Brookville.

A rare handshake between Garcia, Woods.

Woods, Garcia still bickering No love lost between pair WATER, VIRGINIA England (AP) — Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia don't like each other, and they're making no effort to disguise their feelings.

The verbal feuding began May 11 during the third round of The Players Championship. It resumed this week on both sides of the Atlantic when Woods offered a one-word answer if he thought about contacting Garcia to put the matter to rest.

"No," he replied with a tight smile.

Garcia fired back at a sponsor function outside London.

"He called me a whiner.

That's probably right," he told reporters. "It's also probably the first thing he's told you guys that's true in 15 years. I know what he is like. You guys are finding out."

Garcia tried to tone down the barbs Tuesday at the BMW Championship when asked about the spat.

"I can't like everybody and there's people that you connect with and there's people that you don't," Garcia said at Wentworth. "He doesn't need me in his life, I don't need him in mine and let's move on and keep doing what we're doing. There's never really been a true connection I would have with maybe Luke (Donald) or Adam Scott or some of the other guys that I get along with well.

"I think we should kind of move on and forget — well, it will be difficult to forget — but kind of move on about what happened."

Disputes among golfers are nothing new, though it's rare for two high-profile players to go at each other through the media.

The animosity between them goes as far back as 2000, when Garcia beat Woods in the Monday night exhibition "Battle at Bighorn" and celebrated as if he had won something much more important.

Two years later in the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black, where Woods won wire-to-wire, Garcia complained that the second round should have been halted because of rain and that "if Tiger Woods would have been out there, it would have been called."

The latest chapter took place on the second fairway at the TPC Sawgrass in the third round, when Garcia had a one-shot lead. He was preparing to play his second shot on the par 5 from the fairway when he was disrupted by cheers from the gallery

around Woods deep in the trees. Woods was about 50 yards away and couldn't see the Spaniard. The crowd burst into cheers when Woods took a 5-wood from his bag to play a risky shot through a gap in the trees.

During a storm delay, Garcia suggested in a TV interview that Woods could have kept the crowd from cheering if he had been paying closer attention. Later that evening, Woods said he understood from marshals that Garcia had already hit.

"Not real surprising that he's complaining about something," Woods added, which only fired up the Spaniard.

Garcia said the next day to Sky Sports, "He's not the nicest guy on tour."

Woods wound up winning The Players Championship, improving his record to 6-0 when he plays with Garcia in the final group on the weekend.

Woods was at media day Monday for the AT&T National, where he is the defending champion, when he received the final question about Garcia and gave the one-word answer.

Garcia offered a more detailed response when asked in England if he would ever call Woods.

"First of all, I don't have his number," Garcia said.

"And secondly, I did nothing wrong and don't have anything to say to him.

And he wouldn't pick up the phone, anyway."

Garcia conceded their dislike for each other has been "going on for a long time."

"The problem is, I'm one of the guys that has to say something," Garcia said.

"A lot of people think about it, but don't want to say anything. He can and will beat me a lot of times, but is not going to step on me. I'm not afraid of him."

Woods has competed against more than 50 players in match play since 1997, though he has never played Garcia. The Spaniard was asked he would like to face Woods in the Ryder Cup next year at Gleneagles.

"It's great, and it is what it is, and it doesn't mean I cannot play with him," Garcia replied. "It's just another player — obviously, a good player. It's just when I'm playing with someone I enjoy, there's a bit more talking going around, and you're playing with someone that you don't fancy as much, you're just a little bit quiet."

Family celebration for the Hulman family Carpenter to start on pole INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Ed Carpenter turned Pole Day into a family celebration.

The stepson of IndyCar founder Tony George became the first member of the Hulman family to win the biggest pre-race event in the series — the Indianapolis 500 pole.

Carpenter produced a stunning finish to a day that was rife with suspense but lacked surprise.

His four-lap average of 228.762 mph was quick enough to break up what appeared to be a Team

Penske-Andretti Autosport lock on the front three rows in the nine-car shootout for the pole.

Somehow, Carpenter, who owns his team, beat out the big-name guys.

"To be a single-car team in this Chevy shootout, I am going to call it fighting with the Penske and Andretti guys," said Carpenter, whose pit crew carried him off pit road on their shoulders after an agonizing wait to see if his time would hold up.

The soft-spoken Carpenter grew up around the world-famous 2.5-mile Brickyard, dreaming of the moment he could stand in Victory Lane.

Perhaps that will happen May 26.

For now, Carpenter will savor the highest-profile achievement of his career and during a month in which he has strengthened his area ties. His sponsor, golfer Fuzzy Zoeller's Fuzzy's Vodka, is based in Indiana and this week Carpenter added decals to his car from his alma mater, Butler University — the little school that made two straight NCAA championship game appearances.

He also took a little time out for his family and friends, who believe this could be his big year at Indy.

After producing the fastest lap in the opening practice session last Saturday, Carpenter gave away his tickets to watch the Eastern Conference semifinals between the hometown Pacers and New York Knicks so he could spend some time with his wife before another working Mother's Day. And during Friday night's qualifying draw, Carpenter had one of his young children pull out the number.

Then Carpenter went out and beat all those bigname guys to the punch, setting off a celebration that isn't likely to end any

time soon.

"I felt like coming in that we had a chance to be on the pole," Carpenter said. "To sit on the pole for this race is really a dream come true, and I hope it is a start to what has already been a great month of May. The car has been great and I can't thank my team enough. The sponsors, a lot of great people helped us get here. This is just the first part of what we are here to do."

Carpenter was followed by three of Michael Andretti's five drivers — rookie Carlos Munoz of Colombia, Marco Andretti and Venezuelan E.J. Viso took the next three spots.

Munoz's average of 228.342 was just a tick better than Marco Andretti's 228.261.

"We knew he was a factor, but those laps were really stout," said Andretti, who congratulated Carpenter on pit road. "We didn't see that kind of pace out of him earlier, but he went for a trim and balanced the car, so it rewarded him."

Another Indy rookie, AJ Allmendinger, will start fifth, the highest qualifier for Roger Penske's team.

Will Power went into the shootout as the favorite after going 228.844 but wound up starting sixth.

One day at a time Allmendinger ready for Indy debut CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — AJ Allmendinger's parents attended their first Indianapolis 500 in 1979, when they camped in a grassy lot and watched Rick Mears win his first 500.

Their son was born two years later — Greg Allmendinger named him after A.J. Foyt, his favorite driver — and for a time it seemed like the Allmendingers would make it back to Indy with him.

Allmendinger had risen through the open-wheel ranks to become one of the top drivers in the Champ Car Series with a five-win 2006 season.

But a NASCAR opportunity came along and Allmendinger switched series, and the dream of one day cheering on their son in the "Biggest Spectacle In Racing" began to fade.

Until one bad decision cost Allmendinger the best job he ever had — and Roger Penske decided to give him a rare second chance.

Allmendinger will make his Indianapolis 500 debut on Sunday, seven years after he left openwheel racing — in a Penske Racing entry, no less. It doesn't get much bigger or better than this, and all these years later, Allmendinger has finally brought his parents back to the 500.

He's posed for pictures at his car with his parents, who arrived in Indianapolis in time to see Allmendinger qualify fifth on Saturday.

"Then my Dad went and found Larry Foyt and said, 'Where's your Dad at? I want to go meet him, I haven't met him yet ...

By the way, I'm AJ's dad,'" Allmendinger said. "It'll be cool to really share this with my parents, especially my Dad. For them to experience this."

It's funny how life sometimes works out, and Allmendinger has learned enough in the last 10 months not to question why things happen.

Allmendinger is a better person because he stupidly accepted a strange pill from a friend who said it would help with his fatigue.

Allmendinger says the

pill he popped last June was Adderall — he didn't ask what it was as he was swallowing it — and it caused him to fail a random NASCAR drug test.

Suspended hours before the July race at Daytona, Allmendinger was out of a job since Penske had no choice but to fire the driver when the backup "B'' sample also came back positive.

He participated in NASCAR's "Road to Recovery" program, and learned during that time he had to stop putting so much pressure on himself, that his happiness didn't solely depend on his results on the race track. He had Penske's support the entire time, even though the team owner had zero responsibility to a driver whose six months of employment had brought embarrassment to the great Penske organization Allmendinger didn't ask Penske why he was standing behind him, why he brought him out to the IndyCar season finale at Fontana in September as his guest, or why he continued to think of ways to get Allmendinger back in the race car.

When The Captain called and asked Allmendinger if he had any interest in running the Indianapolis 500, the only thing Allmendinger said was 'Yes, sir. Whatever you want, sir."

"I feel very fortunate, the racing side of it is great, but that he's cared enough to stay in contact," Allmendinger said. "That means way more than putting me in a race car.

I'm just enjoying the ride right now.

“I'm never going to turn down a Roger Penske race car."

This Roger Penske car was another opportunity for a disgraced driver, and it didn't matter that it meant returning to the racing he'd walked away from for the fame and fortune of NASCAR. Only Allmendinger found things to very different when he returned.

The competition was much improved all the way down the grid, and driving the year-old Indy car was harder than his time in Champ Car.

Driver Helio Castroneves signs a hat after qualifying for the Indy 500 Saturday.

Castroneves looking for history Driver going for record-tying fourth Indy 500 NEW YORK (AP) — Helio Castroneves figures plenty of today's fans have never seen a driver win the Indianapolis 500 for a record-tying fourth time.

He can change that Sunday. So could Dario Franchitti.

It's been 22 years since Rick Mears became the third driver with four Indy 500 victories. He won No. 4 in 1991 to join A.J. Foyt and Al Unser in the exclusive club.

This will be the first time since 1987 that two three-time winners will start the Indy 500.

"What an incredible opportunity for the fans to have not only one but two guys trying to make history," Castroneves said Monday while promoting the race with Franchitti in New York City. "Forget about the names, forget about who it is. But imagine people who didn't even see the last time when the guy won four times."

Scotland's Franchitti or Brazil's Castroneves

would be the first foreignborn four-time winner.

Castroneves won his third in 2009, so he's now used to the pressure of trying to tie the record. Since then, Franchitti won No. 2 in 2010 and No. 3 last year.

Castroneves qualified eighth, while Franchitti will start 17th after a frustrating day Saturday for Chip Ganassi Racing.

Franchitti, a four-time IndyCar champion, wrecked early in the season opener and is just 15th in the standings.

Then again, things didn't look much better a year ago — and he went out and won.

"Last year, we had an even worse start to the season," Franchitti said.

"We were sitting here this time last year having qualified 16th, and we were thinking we're in trouble. Honda brought an updated engine to the race, and all of a sudden we're in the game."

Franchitti, who turned 40 on Sunday, remembers

ries back-to-back in 200102, has the advantage of working with Mears.

Mears won his first three in 1979, 1984 and 1988 before earning the record-tying victory three years later. Foyt and Unser had to wait much longer between Nos. 3 and 4 — Foyt's wins came in 1961, 1964, 1967 and 1977, with Unser's in 1970, 1971, 1978 and 1987.

Compared to that, not much time has passed since Castroneves' last victory.

"If the preparation's right, the opportunity right, it's going to come up naturally," he said.

when he thought he'd retire at 35. Instead, much of his success has come after that age. All three Indy 500 victories were in the last six years.

Another big milestone with the No. 4 in it could come a week after his birthday. But Franchitti won't try to put that accomplishment into context until it actually occurs.

"To kind of tempt fate a little bit, and say what it would mean and what it would feel like and all that stuff, is kind of wasted energy right now," he said.

LOCAL/NATION Commission waives three-reading in favor of business expansion 14

WWW.DAILYCALL.COM

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

BY BETHANY J. ROYER Staff writer broyer@civitasmedia.com PIQUA — On the heels of a productive weekend with a number of events including Taste of the Arts and the Big Day, city leaders congregated for the final May commission meeting Tuesday evening.

Topping the agenda was an ordinance to designate a parcel as I-2 (heavy industrial) for Aesthetic Finishers on S. Main Street with business owner Bill Coomer on hand to request waiving the three reading rule. One that was formerly advised

by Commissioner Bill Vogt in favor of the building season as the business looks to expand. “We have several new customers that are coming online they are begging us to get this addition so we can put in brand new equipment that’s on its way,� said Coomer as he explained the cumberness of having to do actions in reverse should he have to wait through the three reading rule at subsequent commission meetings. “I’ll have to put a lot

more money in it, a lot more time, and it’s not going to be as efficient a way to do it.�

While initially not seen as an emergency to rescind the threereading rule, Stacy Wall, city law director, read sectional 12 of the city charter to commissioners who proceeded to waive the ruling and adopt the ordinance. “So, Bill, get your shovels out,� said Mayor Lucy Fess upon the adoption before Commission proceeded to adopt the following resolutions: Amending a total payment to Physio-Control for purchase of an additional one-year service agreement, spare batteries, monitor paper and adapters. Awarding a contract to Speedway LLC after their lowest bid for a city-wide fuel purchasing program that will see continued purchases from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2016. The sale of city-owned real estate and granting a utility easement in relation to the new Power System location. Consent legislation with the Ohio Deof Transportation partment (ODOT) for work on the Ash St.

bridge over the Great Miami River that will tie-in with the U.S. 36 E. beautification project and adopting the College Street corridor traffic signal project resolution.

The final resolution of the evening approved continued contracts with CDM-Smith for all phases of the wastewater treatment plant testing and eventual modernization improvements.

On a final note, for those who have not had the pleasure, the new Power System Service Center will host an open house from 2-7 p.m., Thursday, at 201 Hemm Ave. Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex. For those seeking a more informal opportunity to speak with their city leaders, a commission work session is being offered once a month starting at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited and encouraged to attend with a copy of the meeting agenda available at the city’s website: www.piquaoh.org.

This Sunday May 27, 2012, photo shows dogs and their owners enjoying a sunny afternoon at the Huntington Dog Beach in Huntington Beach, Calif. Huntington, also known as Surf City USA, is one of the best known dog surfing beaches in the world.There are about 95,000 miles of shoreline around the United States and among the most treasured by dog lovers are those where you can unleash the beast.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Craig Haverstick approaches the beach with his dog in tow, Stanley instinctively knows he’s in for a treat. His ears perk up and he starts sniffing the salty air. “Chesapeake Bay retrievers are like plants, they need to be watered every now and then,� Haverstick said of the 9-year-old he’s been taking to the beach in San Diego weekly for eight years. “We have some great dog beaches. Dogs and people both drool over them.�

Dog beaches account for a

Beaches where unleashed dogs are allowed complete freedom are typically fenced, offer drinking water and showers for dogs,bags to pick up dog feces and trash cans.

Dog lovers say the biggest problem is that there aren’t enough beaches for their pets and parking is often scarce.

Efforts to create more pooch-friendly beaches, such as one that died in Santa Monica two years ago, have run into resistance from California State Parks.

Critics say letting beaches go to the dogs threatens species such as shore birds, jeopardizes the safety of visitors, ruins the experience for beachgoers and can pollute

water and sand with poop and urine.

Fans who frequent the beaches say they provide a great playground for their hounds and can even be therapeutic.

When Carol Kearney first adopted Buddy, an abused 2-year-old 70-pound, Staffordshire terrier mix, he was afraid of noises and terrified of water. “When he heard traffic, it was like he was trying to get out of his skin,� Kearney said.

Letting him run on the beach less than a mile from her 14th floor home in a Coronado high-rise was the only way to calm him down.

Tornado Continued from page 1 But the halls — some of which were within the view of windows — did not appear safe enough.

Sixth-grader Antonio Clark said a teacher took him and as many other youngsters as possible and shoved them into the three-stall boys' bathroom.

"We were all piled in on each other," the 12-year-old said. Another teacher wrapped her arms around two students and held Antonio's hand.

Twenty seconds later he heard a roar that sounded like a stampede of elephants. His ears popped.

Then it all stopped almost as suddenly as it started. Crouched down, his backpack over his head,Antonio looked up. The skylight and the ceiling that had been there just moments before were gone,and he was staring up into a cloud of debris.

Antonio and a friend were among the first to stand up.They climbed over debris where their classroom had been just moments earlier. Students and teachers were struggling to free themselves from under the bricks, wooden beams and insulation.Some people had bleeding head wounds; blood covered one side of someone's eyeglasses,Antonio said.

"Everybody was crying," Antonio said. "I was crying because I didn't know if my family was OK." Then Antonio saw his father ride up on a mountain bike, yelling his son's name.

Phaedra survived, too. Her mother rushed to the school just moments before the tornado hit, covered Phaedra's

new best friend. head with a blanket to protect her from hail and ushered her out the door.

Phaedra's 10-year-old sister,Jenna,didn't want to budge from the school.

The principal "grabbed her backpack, put it over her head and literally said, 'You're mom's going to open the door. Get out. You're safer with your mom,' and pushed her out the door," said Amy Sharp, the girls' mother.

At Briarwood Elementary, the students also went into the halls. But a third-grade teacher didn't think it looked safe, so she ushered some of the children into a closet, said David Wheeler, one of the fathers who tried to rush to the school after the tornado hit.

The teacher shielded Wheeler's 8year-old son, Gabriel, with her arms and held him down as the tornado collapsed the school roof and starting lifting students upward with a pull so strong that it literally sucked glasses off kids' faces, Wheeler said.

"She saved their lives by putting them in a closet and holding their heads down," Wheeler said.

Gabriel and the teacher — whom Wheeler identified as Julie Simon — had to dig their way out of the rubble.

The boy's back was cut and bruised and gravel was embedded in his head, Wheeler said.It took nearly three hours for father and son to be reunited.

Other parents waited even longer,as they drove from one emergency shelter to another in search of their children.

At St. Andrews United Methodist Church, 15-year-old Caitlin Ulrey waited about seven hours before her parents found her. Her high school had not been hit by the tornado. But her

nerves were frayed.

"I was starting to panic and shake and have an anxiety attack," Caitlin said.

At Plaza Towers, several students were pulled alive from under a collapsed wall and other heaps of mangled debris. Rescue workers passed the survivors down a human chain of parents and neighborhood volunteers. Parents carried dazed and terrified children in their arms to a triage center in the parking lot.

Hundreds of Oklahoma schools have reinforced tornado shelters, but not the two that were hit on Monday.

AlbertAshwood,director of the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management, said it is up to each jurisdiction to set priorities for which schools get funding for safe rooms. But he said a shelter would not necessarily have saved more lives at Plaza Towers.

The tornado was an EF5 twister, the most powerful type, with winds of at least 200 mph.

"When you talk about any kind of safety measures ... it's a mitigating measure,it's not an absolute,"Ashwood said. "There's not a guarantee that everyone will be totally safe."

Moore School Superintendent Susan Pierce said teachers and administrators put their well-rehearsed crisis plan into action as the tornado approached.

But she suggested there are limits to what people can do in the face of such a powerful storm.

"Safety is our main priority," Pierce said. "We monitored the weather throughout the day and when it was time to shelter, we did just that."

tiny fraction of the thousands of miles of U.S. shoreline, but they are treasured by pet owners and their pooches. “Off-leash dog beaches are a canine’s dream come true,� said Lisa Porter, owner of Pet Hotels of America, a travel website that lists thousands of beaches and parks where dogs are allowed on leash or can run free.

Every beach has its own draw. San Diego offers three off-leash options: Fiesta Island in Mission Bay is great for swimming; Ocean Beach Dog Beach is good for dogs to play together; and Coronado’s Dog Beach is described as magical.
