Obama lifts Guantanamo transfer ban

BY NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is lifting his self-imposed ban on transferring Guantanamo Bay detainees to Yemen, where a leadership upheaval has improved the country’s security but not eliminated the terrorist organization trying to recruit jihadists.

Lifting the ban is a step toward Obama’s goal of closing the Navy-run prison in Cuba

since nearly 100 of the 166 terrorist suspects held there are from Yemen and have had nowhere to go even if they had been cleared for transfer.

Obama wouldn’t send them home and no other country was welcoming them, and their hopelessness after a decade or more of imprisonment had contributed to a hunger strike at the detention facility that helped reignite the long-stalled effort to close it.

But Obama’s decision is not without risk detainees who

have been released to Yemen in the past have joined terrorist fighters in the Arab nation. The security concerns prompted Obama to suspend transfers to Yemen in January 2010 after a Nigerian man attempted to blow up a U.S.-bound flight with explosives hidden in his underwear on instructions from alQaida operatives in Yemen.

Yemeni watchers in the U.S. say there is reason to hope security has improved since longtime authoritarian leader Ali Abdullah Saleh was ousted

after mass uprisings last year.

Al-Qaida had been on the upswing under Saleh, but successor Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has made fighting terrorism a top goal and restored cooperation with the United States in the effort.

Obama announced that he was lifting the moratorium on Yemeni transfers in a speech Thursday at the National Defense University in which the president also defended targeted killings by U.S. aerial drones and pushed Congress

anew to authorize Guantanamo’s closure. The president did not explain his rationale behind the change in Yemen policy, but senior administration officials told reporters in a conference call cited Hadi’s leadership.

It’s unclear what kind of systems are in place to monitor former detainees once they return to Yemen. Yemeni authorities had a system, but it ceased to function after massive anti-government See Guantanamo/Page 2

Bethany A P R E S S I N G M AT T E R Piqua BOE meets with full agenda Center New schools, to hold resignations, quarter grants, more auction among items discussed

PIQUA — An upcoming fundraiser for the Bethany Center, 339 South St., Piqua, is taking place next week and all the staff and volunteers are asking for are only a few quarters.

The quarter auction being held for and at the Bethany Center is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 2.

The cost will be $2 per paddle, and food and drink will be available for purchase.

Additionally, there will be several items up for auction, including gift certificates to local businesses and restaurants; gift baskets; and handmade items (such as quilts, purses, tote bags and decorative items).

This year’s organizer for the event, Jerilyn Lowe, said she decided to help coordinate the function to assist center officials, who usually organize the charity event.

“I’ve been a volunteer there for almost eight years after moving to the area,” Lowe said. “The Bethany Center is run with so much integrity and they have such a passion for what they are doing there.”

Lowe said she encourages those in the community to come out, have a good time and help out a great community cause.

For more information on the Bethany Center quarter auction, contact the center at (937) 615-9762.

Jason Minnich, owner of Sunset Cleaners, presses a graduation gown in the Piqua store on Thursday afternoon. The locally owned and operated business has been offering free pressing of gowns for the past four years to graduating seniors. Minnich said, " It is our way to congratulate seniors." The service is offered at all three locations in Piqua, Troy and West Milton. Minnich estimates they will do approximately 300 gowns for area grads this year.

PIQUA — The Piqua Board of Education met Wednesday at the Government Municipal Complex for one last time this school year at a meeting where everything from the new schools project to resignations of longtime employees was discussed.

A presentation by the Warren Lodge #24 Free Masons of Ohio provided insight to blessing the corner stones of the new Washington and Springcreek Primary Schools.

In regards to the construction taking place for these two new schools, the top soil has been stripped on the grounds at Springcreek. The same removal of topsoil will take place at the Washington school site in early June.

The fourth-throughsixth-grade building has

yet to be motioned because the deed has not yet been presented.

It is unclear as to how soon that will be handed over, according to the board.

Additionally, the Board of Education approved the resignation of the following educators from their respected positions: Brian Sherman from teaching math at Piqua High School, Erin McGaharan from teaching grade five at Washington Intermediate, Danielle Richey from teaching grade five at Washington Intermediate, Daniel Hake from principal of Bennett Intermediate, and Karen A. Decker from K-3 elementary guidance counselor.

The retirement resignation for James Conley, director of technology, was approved and goes into effect June 30.

The board also approved David Shellhaas for a two-year administrative director of curriculum and instruction for the 2013-15 school years.

In other business, the board accepted grants in the amount of $24,260 and donations in the amount of $7,102.

The Board of Education also approved the 2013-14 See BOE/Page 2

Upper Valley CC grad: ‘Follow your dreams’

BY ALYSSA RECK For the Daily Call pdceditorial@civitasmedia.com

TROY — Wearing a red graduation gown with a yellow cord, Ashley Gilmore stepped up to the podium to voice her speech to all the parents, students, and educators gathered.

Gilmore has only 10 percent hearing in both her ears, but that did not stop her from speaking at the Upper Valley Career Center’s convocation, which took place at 7 p.m.

May 23, 2013, at Hobart Arena.

“I want to show everyone that deaf people can do anything,” Gilmore said. “I want to shock people with what I have become and will be.”

She certainly shocked the audience, which gave her a round of applause at the conclusion of her opening remarks.

Gilmore had worked on the speech for three weeks in preparation for Thursday evening.

Gilmore is the Top Scholar and Student Senate President at the Upper Valley Career Center. She majored in the Interactive Media program.

As the Top Scholar, Gilmore has a 3.979 grade point average (GPA), making her the senior with the highest GPA at the Upper Valley Career Center.

Her interpreter, Angie Vonderembse, stood at the side of the stage signing alongside of Gilmore’s voiced speech.

“I’ve watched her blossom and become more independent over the past few years,” Vonderembse said.

Vonderembse is currently employed by the Miami County Board of Education, as a sign lanMIKE ULLERY/STAFF PHOTO guage interpreter.

Death notices Superintendent Rick Hanes recommended a three-read waiver of policies 1530, 3220, and 5630.01, which had to be put into effect by the end of June. It was approved.

House Bill 59 was mentioned as a “negative

impact on public schools”

by Hanes. The bill would take away funding for high school buses.

Another item of business was the disposal and removal of equipment from the Piqua City School District in-

ventory. Anything that could be salvaged, was saved. This motion was approved.

The next Board of Education meeting will be 7 p.m., Wednesday, June 26, at the Government Municipal Complex.

SIDNEY — Othel L. Jones, 78, 1151 Westwood Drive, Sidney, passed away Wednesday, May 22, 2013, at 1:05 p.m. at his residence. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at the Cromes Funeral Home, Sidney.

Burial will be at Graceland Cemetery, Sidney.

GREENVILLE — Phyllis L. Strawser, 90 of Greenville, formerly of West Milton, passed away on Wednesday, May 22, 2013, at Miami Valley Hospital, Dayton. Arrangements are pending at the HaleSarver Family Funeral Home, West Milton.

Grad Continued from page 1 is Vonderembse’s third deaf student.

In Gilmore’s voiced speech, she spoke of the future and all that one can do in their life.

“You meet new people every day from all walks of life,” said Gilmore. “I am telling you to follow your dreams. Keep pushing yourself until you are satisfied.”

The speech was also put onto a screen to give the audience Gilmore’s written words too.

Also, she received an Award of Merit and the Whitmore Scholarship Award, during the convocation.

In the Interactive Media program at the Upper Valley Career Center, Susan Caudill knows that Gilmore will go on to accomplish whatever she puts her mind to.

“In my classroom, it is not a me thing; it is a we thing,” Caudill said.

Gilmore smiled as she stood with the Interactive Media program students

during the Presentation of the Class of 2013.

Though Friday, May 17, was the official last day of Gilmore’s senior year, she was happy to show off the Photoshop skills she has developed while in class.

It is her dream to start a photography business, because photographs capture memories.

Gilmore attributes her success to her parents, educators, and friends, who helped keep her moving forward.

“The more support I have, the better I will be,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore will be attending Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. this fall.

“Growing up, I knew that I was different, but I also knew that I was the same as everyone else on the inside. I worked hard and knew that in the end it would be worth it all.

Now, there are people MIKE ULLERY/STAFF PHOTO who can’t believe what I Graduates-to-be assemble in Hobart Arena at the beginning of commencement exercises for Upper Valley have accomplished,” said Career Center on Thursday.

Guantanamo Continued from page 1 protests swept most of the country, starting in early 2011. Of the estimated 30 Yemenis who returned from Guantanamo, only a handful had stayed in Sanaa, the capital, while the rest moved to remote areas where government authority is minimal, or nonexistent.

Yemen’s Embassy in welcomed Washington Obama’s lifting of the ban.

It said in a statement that Yemen’s government “will work with the United States to take all necessary steps to ensure the safe return of its detainees and will continue working towards their gradual rehabilitation and integration back into soci-

ety.”

David Remes, an attorney who represents many Guantanamo detainees, a system described roughly like parole for his clients who have been released to Yemen. He said they have been flown in shackles aboard a military aircraft back to Sanaa and turned over to state forces who spend a couple days debriefing them about their years of captivity before they return to their families. If they want to leave town, they are required to register with state security forces who keep track of their movements, Remes said.

“Although there is no such thing as zero risk, the men who have returned from Guantanamo

are overwhelmingly living peaceful lives,” Remes said. “And you can’t hold 99 of 100 men captive because one might engage in bad acts when he is released, even two.”

Yet some have returned to jihad. Among them is Saeed Ali al-Shihri, who emerged as the secondmost senior commander of Yemen’s branch of alQaida after being released from six years of detention at Guantanamo Bay. Yemini officials said in January that al-Shihri was killed in a U.S. drone attack, but al-Qaida denied he was killed and last month released an audio recording of him criticizing Yemen’s neighbor Saudi Arabia for its policy of allowing the U.S. to

launch drone strikes from bases in the kingdom.

In confusion that underscores how difficult it can be to keep tabs on former detainees, it was the second time the group denied al-Shihri’s death. U.S. officials had previously announced al-Shihri’s death in an airstrike in September last year. A DNA test, however, proved that the body recovered was not that of al-Shihri.

According to security officials in Yemen, there has not been any evidence to link any of the returnees with suicide bombings in the country. However, some of them are thought to have fought against government forces in the southern Abyan province in 2011 and 2012 , when

al-Qaida fighters took advantage of the security vacuum to seize large swathes of the area before they were pushed back by security forces last year.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Christopher Swift of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service said research has shown the recidivism rate for former detainees sent to Yemen has been about 15 to 20 percent.

“That would great progress if you were talking about drug dealers, but you are talking about terrorism,” Swift said.

“The political class in America has a zero toler-

ance approach to these issues.”

Swift said there have been improvements to security under Hadi’s leadership, who with support from the United States and other Arab nations has dispersed the terrorists out of their strongholds and left fighters struggling to reorganize.

But he said al-Qaida has not been eliminated and the government has more improvements to make.

“Suffice it to say the government is highly dysfunctional, but it is much more functional than it was a year ago or even two years ago,” Swift said.

Boy Scouts approve plan to accept gay youths GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders a fiercely contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organization and lead to mass defections of members and donors.

Of the roughly 1,400 voting members of the BSA’s National Council who cast ballots, 61 percent supported the proposal drafted by the governing Executive Committee. The policy change takes effect Jan. 1.

“This has been a challenging chapter in our history,” the BSA chief executive, Wayne Brock, said after the vote. “While people have differing opinions on this policy, kids are better off when they’re in Scouting.”

However, the outcome will not end the bitter debate over the Scouts’ membership policy.

Liberal Scout leaders while supporting the proposal to accept gay youth have made clear they want the ban on gay adults lifted as well.

In contrast, conservatives with the Scouts including some churches that sponsor Scout units wanted to continue ex-

cluding gay youths, in some cases threatening to defect if the ban were lifted.

“We are deeply saddened,” said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s executive committee after learning of the result.

“Homosexual behavior is incompatible with the principles enshrined in the Scout oath and Scout law.”

The Assemblies of God, another conservative denomination, said the policy change “will lead to a mass exodus from the Boy Scout program.” It also warned that the change would make the BSA vulnerable to lawsuits seeking to end the ban on gay adults.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry also expressed dismay.

“While I will always cherish my time as a Scout and the life lessons I learned, I am greatly disappointed with this decision,” he said.

The result was welcomed by many liberal members of the Scouting community and by gayrights activists, though most of the praise was coupled with calls for ending the ban on gay adults.

“I’m so proud of how far we’ve come, but until there’s a place for everyone in Scouting, my work will continue,” said Jen-

nifer Tyrrell, whose ouster as a Cub Scout den leader in Ohio because she is lesbian launched a national protest movement.

Pascal Tessier, a 16year-old Boy Scout from Maryland, was elated by the outcome.

Tessier, who is openly gay, is on track to earn his Eagle Scout award and was concerned that his goal would be thwarted if the proposed change had been rejected.

“I was thinking that today could be my last day as a Boy Scout,” Tessier said. “Obviously, for gay Scouts like me, this vote is life-changing.”

The vote followed what the BSA described as “the most comprehensive listening exercise in Scouting’s history” to gauge opinions.

Back in January, the BSA executive committee had suggested a plan to give sponsors of local Scout units the option of admitting gays as both youth members and adult leaders or continuing to exclude them. However, the plan won little praise, and the BSA changed course after assessing responses to surveys sent out starting in February to members of the Scouting community.

Of the more than 200,000 leaders, parents

and youth members who responded, 61 percent supported the current policy of excluding gays, while 34 percent opposed it. Most parents of young Scouts, as well as youth members themselves, opposed the ban.

The proposal approved Thursday was seen as a compromise, and the Scouts stressed that they would not condone sexual conduct by any Scout gay or straight.

“The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive and unresolved societal issue,” the BSA said in a statement.

Since the executive committee just completed a lengthy review process, there were “no plans for further review on this matter,” the group added, indicating it would not be revisiting the ban on gay adults anytime soon.

Among those voting for the proposal to accept openly gay youth was Thomas Roberts of Dawsonville, Ga., who serves on the board of a Scout council in northeast Georgia.

“It was a very hard decision for this organization,” he said. “I think ultimately it will be viewed as the right thing.”

The BSA’s overall “traditional youth membership” Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers is now about 2.6 million, compared with more than 4 million in peak years of the past. It also has about 1 million adult leaders and volunteers.

Of the more than 100,000 Scouting units in the U.S., 70 percent are

chartered by religious institutions.

Those include liberal churches opposed to any ban on gays, but some of the largest sponsors are relatively conservative denominations that have previously supported the broad ban notably the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Southern Baptist churches.

While the Southern Baptists were clearly upset by the vote to accept openly gay youth, the Mormon church reacted positively.

“We trust that BSA will implement and administer the approved policy in an appropriate and effective manner,” an official LDS statement said.

LOCAL Safety council honors members PIQUA DAILY CALL • WWW.DAILYCALL.COM

The May Safety Council meeting was a day of Recognition and Celebration. Pamela “Safety Sue” Davis, the Ohio BWC’s Director of Employee Safety & Health Administration, was on hand to present the Miami County Safety Council with a plaque for qualifying as an “Honorable Mention” for Safety Council of the Year. The MCSC is one of the top 8 out of 80 Ohio Safety Councils.

As part of the festivities, the steering committee ordered a huge “congratulations cake” for everyone to enjoy.

During the meeting, over 80 awards were given out to member companies for their efforts in preventing accidents and injuries in the workplace.

Pam Davis commented, “I have never seen so many awards presented to any other Ohio Safety Council.” She personally presented 21 “Special Awards” to companies who had at least 500,000 hours and at least six months without an injury resulting in a day or more away from work. F & P America topped the list with 4,189,737 hours worked without injury between August of 2011 and January 2012.

year after Mr. Campbell decided to retire after 27 years. “We have spent the past several months working on converting the facility from its former use into office space. This has been a wonderful move for us as the growth of our company has necessitated the need for additional space,” commented Hoelscher.

Seniormark assists retirees in the transition from work to play. “We all

look forward to the day we can retire and do more of the things we enjoy. The problem is that the transition from work to retirecan be very ment overwhelming with questions about Medicare, Social Security and setting up an income for retirement. We help retirees eliminate their anxiety by holding their hand through the whole retirement transition process,”

stated Hoelscher.

Hoelscher concluded, “We are most excited about our new conference room which will allow us to serve local retirees by holding educational workshops about topics pertinent to the retirement transition process. If you would like to see our new facility or learn more about what we do, please stop by, we would love to meet you.”

This exhibit is in partnership withThe Troy Historical Society. The Hayner is located at 301 W. Main St., Troy.

It has been a hundred years since The Great Flood devastated the Miami Valley. The story of how Troy was affected by the flood will be told through vintage and contemperary photographs, time lines, maps, oral histories, and quotes like, “Late Monday afternoon it was realized that the city was in grave danger of high waters, but there was no thought that it would go the terrible extent it did,” from the Troy Record on April 4, 1914. The Miami Valley should never have a devastating flood again due to the Miami Conservancy’s dams and dry basin system. Learn about the fight and strong opposition that tried to keep dams and basins from being built. The photographs are from The Troy Historical Society’s collection. Judy Deeter, Rick Jackson, and Jo Ann Gamblee provided the information for the time lines and Doug Christian researched map sites. The Troy Historical Society’s book Troy and The Great Flood will be available for purchase. The exhibit will run through July 28.

The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is proudly supported by the citizens of the Troy City School District through a local tax levy and generous gifts to the Friends of Hayner.

Open hours of the Center are 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, and 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. on Sundays. The Center is closed during holidays. For more information, please visit our website at www.troyhayner.org or call at (937) 3390457.

STAFF REPORT PIQUA — The students in Lori Williams’ second grade classroom at Piqua Catholic has spent a lot of time in the past month working on a project and can now say they have published their own writings.

The students in the class wrote biographies about each other after conducting class interviews.

Williams said writing is such an important part of the curriculum for children.

She added how excited her students were when their books were published in a hardbound color book.

After performing the interviews, the students took that information and went through the publishing steps, which means they needed to write and edit their work several times before they had a final copy.

“Lots of erasing, dictionaries and thought process went into their writings,”

Elections chief wrapping up fraud probe

Serving Piqua since 1883

(Zechariah 4:6 AKJV)

Commentary

Website a valuable Mother of the Munchkins resource for Getting in one good bite individuals and T businesses hile the budget bill was still in the Ohio House of Representatives, committee hearings about the budget were posted online, where people could tune in to watch deliberation and testimony about the legislation.

Filming committee meetings served a very important purpose, which was to make state government more open to the people of the state. Ohioans deserve to know what their tax dollars pay for.

Similarly, letting people and businesses know the rules that affect them is a necessary component to building a fair and prosperous economy. With more than 120 agencies and commissions statewide, there are times when various rules may change to help an agency carry out its purpose.

The Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review, more simply known as JCARR, is tasked with making sure that the actions of these agencies are within the boundaries of their authority. Made up of legislators from both the Ohio House and Senate, JCARR reviews nearly 9,000 rules every year.

The committee reRICHARD ADAMS cently launched a new website called “RuleState Representative Watch Ohio,” which provides updates of rules that helps families, businesses and individuals follow rule changes in Ohio. The website can be accessed by going to www.RuleWatchOhio.gov.

To track changes, a person simply needs to log into the site and then click on the various subject matters that he or she wants to follow. There are several topics to choose from, such as accounting, insurance, and agriculture. You can choose to follow as many topics as you like.

From there, RuleWatch will send messages directly to your e-mail account, updating rule changes in the selected areas. It will send no more than one e-mail per day.

Additionally, Ohioans can submit to JCARR recommendations or concerns regarding rule changes. The committee is very receptive to hearing your ideas because everyone offers a unique perspective of how various rules impact their lives and businesses.

Technology has helped businesses operate more efficiently for years, and through resources like RuleWatch Ohio it is helping state government run more smoothly as well.

COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio’s elections chief says he’s wrapped up a review by county election boards across the swing state into allegations of voter fraud during the 2012 presidential election.

Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted plans on Thursday to release the probe’s findings after a statewide look he ordered in January. He required all testimony to be taken under oath and restricted sworn statements only to firsthand accounts, as a way of cutting down on the spread of rumors.

Husted hoped the forum would identify legitimate concerns and reassure the public about the integrity of elections. criticize Democrats Husted for repeated violations of voters’ rights.

Husted initially said the investigation would also include complaints of alleged voter suppression, but the announcement of Thursday’s event made no mention of the issue.

Military gets free admission to Kings Island on weekend MASON (AP) — Current and former members of the U.S. military will get free admission to Kings Island amusement park in southwest Ohio over Memorial Day weekend.

Sudoku Puzzle

You are South, and the bidding has gone:

Bidding quiz barely more than a minimum opening bid. It is also unlikely that you can make 10 tricks with spades as trumps, since partner failed to bid one spade initially, denying four or more cards in that suit.

On the other side there is the argument that a two-spade bid (forcing) would probably keep the opponents quiet, while a pass would invite your left-hand opponent to "balance" with two hearts.

3. Three clubs. You

might have a game in either notrump or diamonds, and you can best explore both possibilities by bidding three clubs – even though you have only three cards in the suit.

You hope that partner, with stoppers in the major suits, will say three notrump or make some other constructive bid.

4. Four notrump. A diamond slam is certainly a distinct possibility, and by far the best approach is to use Blackwood to check for aces. If partner indi-

cates one ace by responding five diamonds, you should go on to six. If he has the club ace, you will almost surely make 12 tricks; if he has the spade ace instead, you should still have a reasonably good chance for the slam.

This is because your partner might have the king of hearts, or because West might not find the killing heart lead.

Although it’s possible

We will be closed Memorial Day, May 27, to be with family – have a happy & safe holday!

1. Three notrump. Partner's raise indicates six to 10 points, so there is good reason to think you can make nine tricks in notrump even if partner is on the lower end of that range. It would be wrong to bid only two notrump, which partner might pass.

2. Pass. There are only two bids worth considering – pass or two spades – and good arguments can be made for or against either of them. Favoring the pass is the probability that you can't make 11 tricks in diamonds, since partner gave you only a single raise and you have

BY J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor Sometimes it takes the mind of an 8-year-old boy to come up with a brilliant idea. At least when it comes to ice cream.

My son and I had just left a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop where I’d snarfed down a doublescoop cup of Americone Dream (vanilla with fudge-covered waffle cone pieces and caramel) and Phish Food (chocolate marshmallow, with caramel and fudge fish).

My buddy had inhaled Sweet Cream & Cookies (pretty much what it

sounds like) and Candy Bar Pie (peanut butter ice cream with fudge, chocolate nougat and pretzels).

And then he got really quiet for a moment, which generally is just a prestorm calm.

“We need to make our ice cream and sell it this summer,” Parker began with rapid-fire excitement. “We can make all sorts of varieties like red velvet cake and chocolate eclair and snickerdoodle and chocolate with chocolate pretzels and dark chocolate bits and...”

And you get the idea.

His imagination was sparked and by the time

we got back to the car he’d asked for my phone so he could type out the list of flavors we would be selling this summer.

But his wasn’t the only imagination sparked. Because I’m always looking for great excuses to get kids into the kitchen. Generally anything that is messy, hands on, delicious and invites them to be creative (this isn’t the time for fussy recipes) works well. Do-it-yourself ice cream had all the makings of a perfect kid-friendly kitchen project for summer.

Except that neither I nor most parents have the

time (nor kids the patience) to truly make ice cream from scratch. And as my son had so wonderfully demonstrated, the fun isn’t in making the ice cream base, but in testing all manner of whacky-delicious things you can flavor it with.

The solution? Doctored ice cream. It works like this: Buy a pint of ice cream, then soften it either by leaving it on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes, or nuking it for 15 to 20 seconds. Scoop it into a really big bowl, then add whatever mix-ins do it for you. Mix well, then either serve immediately as soft

serve, or transfer to a con- broken into bite-size tainer, press plastic wrap pieces directly onto the surface — Go for contrast with and freeze until firm. your mix-ins, something crunchy (such as pretzels) The beauty of this ap- with something soft (such proach is that it lets you as marshmallow) focus on the fun part. You — Think beyond sweet also can turn it into a fun (potato chips, corn chips, family activity in which peanuts, cashews, wasabi everyone makes a flavor, peas, etc.) then everyone can share — Don’t let the ice and compare. cream soften too much.

A few tips for making great doctored ice creams: Aim for soft serve consistency, then add your mix— Start with quality ice ins To get you started on a cream in basic flavors (vanilla, chocolate, mint, summer of ice cream creations, I’m sharing three coffee, etc.)

— Choose mix-ins that of the many variations my either are or can be cut or son dreamed up.

Ode to little songbird:

Third grader who loved to sing among tornado victims

BY RAMIT PLUSHNICK-MASTI AND SEAN MURPHY Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) — Nicknamed “The Wall,” 8year-old Kyle Davis loved soccer and going to Monster Truck exhibitions at the fairgrounds with his grandfather.

JaNae Hornsby, 9, loved to draw, sing, and be a big sister and cousin to her younger relatives.

The two were among the young victims of Monday’s monstrous tornado, their small bodies pulled from the rubble of Plaza Towers Elementary School after it was reduced to a massive heap of bricks and twisted metal. Twenty-two others were killed, including five other 9-year-olds at the one-story building.

As the ominous funnel cloud began its 17-mile path, Kyle took shelter in the school’s gymnasium with dozens of other students, his grandfather Marvin Dixon said Wednesday.

“He was in the position that the teacher told them to be in —crouched down with their hands over their heads,” Dixon said. “The medical examiner said either some big rock or beam or something fell right on the back of his neck. He said he died instantly.”

Dixon counted his grandson among the lucky ones. The medical examiner reported the six other children who died at the school suffocated after being buried under a mass of bricks, steel and other materials as the building collapsed.

Dixon said a morgue worker told him some of the children who suffocated were huddled in one of the school’s bathrooms.

“He said some of the kids were hurt so bad it was tough to even identify them,” Dixon said, his voice cracking with emotion.

Kyle earned his nickname, “The Wall,” because of the ferocity with

which he played his favorite sport — soccer.

“He was a pretty big kid,” his grandfather said. “Whenever he had the ball, other kids would just bounce off of him.

That’s why they called him that. ... He was just the kindest, most giving kid you would ever meet.

He had a grin from ear to ear.”

JaNae’s father Joshua rushed toward the Plaza Towers school when he realized the powerful tornado packing speeds up to 200 mph was bearing down on the town. But it took him 30 minutes. The tornado already slammed through the building.

“I was just in panic,” Hornsby said, recalling those minutes when he realized the school had been hit and he hadn’t made it in time.

“I just kept going until I got to the school and when I got to the school I started to look for JaNae,” he said Wednesday, sitting on the small front porch of a relative’s

home in nearby Oklahoma City.

By then, the thirdgrader was among those suffocated beneath the debris. The official cause of death was mechanical asphyxia.

Frantic, he combed through the rubble with other students and first responders looking desperately for JaNae. Slowly, more and more children were pulled from the rubble. Some had scratches and bruises.

Some were bleeding. But they were alive. And none of them were JaNae. With each passing minute, “there was still more panic,” Hornsby said.

For two days, Hornsby and a small group of parents whose children were not found in the rubble waited at a church in Moore.

“I was still hopeful that maybe she would turn up,” Hornsby said, thinking she might be at a friend’s house or someplace else.

On Tuesday, he was at the church when he received the news.

His daughter was among the 10 children killed, buried under the rubble of a school that had always been a safe haven for them.

The family’s house, just three blocks from the school, also was destroyed. He hasn’t gone back to see if he might find a few of JaNae’s things to keep.

“JaNae was the life of the party. If JaNae was there you were having a good time. She liked to sing, be a big sister, be a big cousin. She liked to draw,” he said smiling as he remembered the small girl.

As family gathered to make funeral arrangements and comfort one another, Hornsby looked behind him into the house.

“If she was here she would just have everybody laughing and she would be in the midst of everything. She loved the

spotlight,” he said.

The family of 9-yearold Christopher Legg described him as someone who never met a stranger.

Christopher, who also suffocated inside the school, played football, baseball and basketball and “loved to roughhouse and wrestle” with his father, older brother and little sister, his family said in a statement. The youngster also faced his diagnosis with skin cancer and joint problems in his knees “with the same strength and enthusiasm that he had for life.”

Sydney Angle, another 9-year-old killed at Plaza Towers, was lovingly referred to as “a pickle” by her softball coach Landon McNeill, who was with the girl’s parents as they waited at a church for news about their daughter.

“Sydney was real quirky,” McNeill said.

“She could be anywhere and have fun doing it.”

For some homeowners, a house is a canvas

BY BEN NUCKOLS Associated Press

BY JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The Muppets are getting a new home in a Queens museum with a permanent exhibit the city hopes will persuade more tourists to venture beyond Manhattan.

Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Bert and Ernie of “Sesame Street” fame, the stars of “Fraggle Rock” and other puppets, costumes and items from throughout Muppets creator Jim Henson’s career have been donated to the Museum of the Moving Image, which is building a new gallery to house them, the institution announced Tuesday.

Encompassing almost 400 items ranging from original puppets to behindthe-scenes footage, the gift is a boon for the 25-year-old museum, which saw attendance skyrocket during a temporary exhibit in 2011 and 2012 of Henson’s work.

And it fulfills a cherished goal for Henson’s widow and collaborator, Jane Henson, who died last month at 78.

“She loved the Muppet characters as though they were part of her own family,” and the actual puppets themselves were very special to her, one of the couple’s daughters, Cheryl Henson, said at a news conference. “It was her dream to have these dear friends find a good home where they could be seen and enjoyed, and where new audi-

ences could learn about the many facets of my father’s work.”

The exhibit is to open next year at the museum in the Long Island City neighborhood, across the East River from midtown Manhattan. The city is chipping in $2.75 million toward the $5 million cost for a project.

“The only major item that I know will not be represented is the Muppet that they made of me,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg joked at the news conference, where he bantered with Miss Piggy about the city’s film and television industry and reminisced about their joint work in the 2008 TV special “A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa,” which featured Bloomberg as himself.

“You were wonderful — almost lifelike,” the porcine prima donna quipped Tuesday. (For the record, Bloomberg’s personal Muppet has a nice home of its own, in a reading room at the mayor’s Manhattan town house.)

A puppeteer, screenwriter and producer, Henson introduced a raft of beloved and familiar characters during a career that spanned from the 1950s until his death in 1990, at 53. Some, including his Muppets and Fraggles, appeared in both television shows and movies — among them the 1984 film “The Muppets Take Manhattan,” which depicted the fuzzy crew striving to stage a Broadway musical.

BY CEDAR BURNETT Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) — It’s hard to miss the enormous 20-foot (6-meter)-wideAmerican flag on the side of Richard Ormbrek’s home.

Comprised of around 180 tiles painted with scenes of Americana against a background of red and white stripes,the flag pops from the orange cedar shingles with traffic-stopping audacity.

This is actually the second major art project that Ormbrek has put on the house he shares with brother-in-law Bruce Edenso. The first — a traditional Haida Indian totem house design that covered the entire side of the home — was painted in 1975 and made the house something of a local landmark.

Many people know of one: that neighborhood house that’s quirky or dramatic or a bona fide art project.

But few have the inclination — or the guts — to turn their own home into “that house,”to view their property as a giant canvas waiting to be explored.

“We needed to paint our house anyway,” says Ormbrek. “And while we were mulling over the color,we decided to make our home look like a longhouse.”

Ormbrek’s late wife Judy, a Tlingit-Haida, picked the totem design, which the Ormbreks projected from atop a car across the street while their friend Steve Priestly painted in the lines.

Neighbors gaped as the house was transformed, but only one seemed to mind, fearing it would bring down property values. So far, it seems, the Totem House has

neither driven down property values in one of Seattle’s hottest neighborhoods, nor affected the resale value of the home itself.

“I get offers every week to buy my home,” says Ormbrek.“Of course I’m not planning on selling the house — it’s a very special place.”

Keith Wong, an agent in San Gabriel, California, for the national real-estate brokerage Redfin says a home’s price and location are more important than aesthetics in tight markets.

“We educate our clients to look past cosmetics,” says Wong. “If a house has good bones,it has lots of potential.”

Wong recently took clients to see an unusual home in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles and says the couple were turned off more by the noise from a nearby freeway than by the home’s eclectic design, which included a rainbow of exterior colors and a giant statue of an insect in the front yard.

For those considering a creative makeover to their home, remember it’s a fine line between special and tacky, Wong advises. And consider how long you’ll be staying there.

“If you’re planning on selling your home anytime soon, it’s best to stick to cosmetics and keep with the characteristics of the neighborhood architecturally,” he says.

Jay Pennington of New Orleans put a twist on this suggestion when he offered his yard to host a year-long musical art installation. The double lot he purchased in 2007 came with a dilapidated, roughly 250-year-old Creole cottage on the property, which Pennington

“The area has a rhythm and spirit to it, and that was something we had to try and preserve,” he says.

He did draw the line at friends camping in his yard for Mardi Gras,insisting that they build a privacy fence to show respect for the neighbors. The fence was built in a day, wheat-pasted with a design by Swoon, and now a piece of it is part of the archival collection at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Performances of “The Music Box,” as the project was called, drew 15,000 visitors and a host of performers who played the instrumental buildings. It ended in May 2011 after four months of staggered performances.

Most of it was dismantled and the pieces stored to be used in a permanent musical building known as Dithyrambalina.

Pennington still shares his property with the project’s art director, Eliza Zeitlin, who lives in the permanent structure she built for the project — along with her menagerie of 30 animals.

“My house will never be just my house again,” says Pennington.“But I love that.”

After obtaining city permits, Martin and artist Taylor Lee Shepherd paired artists with builders to create a lot-size shantytown with nine shacks that wheezed, thrummed and plinked as fully functioning instruments.

The neighbors were almost universally supportive and took part in the project — from helping to dismantle the cottage to defending Pennington from the one neighbor who viewed the project as “trashy” and tried to shut it down.

“It’s New Orleans — people love music here,” says Pennington. He said neighbors appreciated that the cottage wasn’t torn down and

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gaining confidence as he nailed questions about obscure island chains, bodies of water, global trade and culture, 12-year-old Sathwik Karnik cruised to victory Wednesday in the 2013 National Geographic Bee. Sathwik,of Plainville,Mass.,correctly named Chimborazo as the mountain in Ecuador that represents the farthest point from the Earth’s center to clinch the title.

He got all five questions right in his one-on-one duel with the runner-up, 13-year-old Conrad Oberhaus of Lincolnshire, Ill. Sathwik pushed ahead of Conrad on the second question, correctly naming Baotou as the largest city in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which is home to one of the world’s largest deposits of rare-earth elements. While Conrad didn’t miss another question, Sathwik never relinquished the lead.

It was Sathwik’s first appearance in the National Geographic Bee finals — but he might have made it earlier if not for his 15-year-old brother, Karthik, who beat him twice in the Massachusetts state bee. Karthik finished 5th in the national bee in 2011 and sixth in 2012.

“I’m just shocked,”Sathwik said.“I didn’t think I could win.I thought I would end up somewhere in the top 10.”

When her boys were in elementary school, Sathwik’s mother, Rathma Karnik, had them play games with an atlas instead of hide-and-seek, asking them to be the first to find a city, body of water or landmark.

Rathma and her husband, Vishwanath, who both work in the software industry, emigrated from near Mangalore, India, in 2002. Indian-American children have dominated both the geography bee and the Scripps National Spelling Bee in recent years.Vishwanath said the trend can be attributed to coming from a country of 1.2 billion people.

“That brought us the competitive spirit,” he said. “If we don’t work hard and put forth our best effort,we can’t succeed in this world.”

Sathwik led throughout the final round of the 25th geography bee and was the last contestant to get a question wrong. Participants earned between 1 and 5 points for each correct answer,with the harder questions worth more points, and the competitors with the lowest scores were eliminated at various points in the competition.He wins a $25,000 scholarship, a trip to the Galapagos Islands and a lifetime membership in the National Geographic Society.

Sathwik, who stands 4-foot-11 and has the fuzzy outline of a mustache on his upper lip, said he was nervous at first because he had never been on television before, but he became more comfortable as he rattled off a string of correct answers.

Conrad gets a $15,000 scholarship for finishing second. Ricky Uppaluri of Roswell, Ga., at 11 the youngest of the final 10, was third and receives a $10,000 scholarship. Akhil Rekulapelli of Ashburn, Va., finished fourth and won $1,000 in cash.

“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek,who has hosted the bee finals since the inaugural competition in 1989, is stepping down after this year and will be replaced by broadcast journalist Soledad O’Brien. The finals will be broadcast Thursday evening on the National Geographic Channel.

During a commercial break, Trebek warned the audience atWashington’s NationalTheatre not to blurt out or silently mouth the answers.

“As if that’s likely to happen,” he said. “Most of you can’t even find Detroit.”

NATION Jersey shore readies for first post-Sandy summer 8

Friday, May 24, 2013

BY WAYNE PARRY Associated Press SEASIDE HEIGHTS, New Jersey (AP) — The boardwalks are back, and so are most of the beaches, even if some are a little thinner this year.

The smell of funnel cakes, french fries and pizza will mingle with the salt air, and the screech of seagulls will be heard, but so will the thwack of hammers repairing what can be fixed and the roar of bulldozers and backhoes tearing down what can’t.

Welcome to Summer 2013 at the Jersey shore, the first since Superstorm Sandy pummeled the coast and upended hundreds of thousands of lives in October.

“The Jersey shore is open for the summer and ready to receive our customers,” Gov. Chris Christie said Monday at a ceremony reopening the newly rebuilt Lavallette boardwalk, three-quarters of which was destroyed by the storm. “This is going to be a really good week.”

Christie cautioned that parts of the shore won’t look as they did last summer, but predicted by next summer they should be back to normal.

People walk along the newly rebuilt boardwalk in Seaside Heights, N.J. on May 18. Visitors to the Jersey shore this weekend will find many of their favorite beaches and boardwalks ready for summer, thanks to a massive rebuilding effort after Superstorm Sandy. While several neighborhoods remain damaged, all but one of the storm-wrecked boardwalks should be ready for Memorial Day weekend, and amusement rides will still be available from Keansburg to Wildwood.

How to clean, season and maintain your grill

BY ELIZABETH KARMEL Associated Press Whether you’ve just bought a shiny new grill or pulled your old one out of winter hibernation, step No. 1 before embracing grilling season is to clean and season it.

Grills are like cast-iron skillets; the more you use them, the better they cook. That’s because food cooks on the grill, the fats and juices are instantly vaporized by the heating elements or charcoal briquettes.The vapor creates the smoke that flavors the food with that legendary grilled taste. The smoke that isn’t absorbed by the food accumulates on the inside of the grill, and so the Grill gets “seasoned.”

So let’s start with the cleaning. If you’ve had your grill for a while and use it a lot, you may notice that the lid of the grill looks like peeling paint. It isn’t. This is simply the accumulation of layers of smoke. Warm soapy water, a scrub brush and a little elbow grease will take the excess bits of black smoke off the inside of the grill lid with little trouble.

And you’ll only need to do this once a year.

Next,burn and scrape off any food bits stuck to the grates.

Turn all the burners on high for a gas grill with the lid down.

For a charcoal grill, burn a chimney starter of charcoal with the lid closed. Let the flames burn until any residue has turned into a white colored ash. Brush gently with either a brass bristle brush or my makeshift foil cleaning brush.

A brass bristle brush is soft enough to bend and not break off like steel brushes. They are the only kind that I would use. The harder, more brittle brushes can also damage the finish on your cooking grates.

If you don’t have a grill brush or don’t want to use one, try this. Crumble heavy-duty foil into a ball about the size of a tennis ball. Hold the ball in a pair of sturdy 12-inch locking chef tongs and brush away! Remember to use heavy-duty foil or the ball will disintegrate.

After you clean your grill,it’s time to season it.My favorite and very effective method is to fill the cooking grate with uncooked fresh sausages such as bratwurst or Italian sausage, but any food with a medium- to high-fat content that will cook for at least 30 minutes is ideal. I usually cook the sausages at a lower temperature than normal to suit this.

Grill the sausages slowly on a low-medium heat until bubbling hot and very brown.Remove the sausages from the grill, then re-set the burners to high, letting the grill burn off the residue until it turns white, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Do this while you enjoy the grilled sausages recipe below.

When you are done eating, clean the cooking grates by rubbing them with foil or a brush again.

are visible all around.

Denise Gottilla and her husband Daryl stuck their beach umbrella into the sand in Point Pleasant Beach earlier this month.

To their right was a woodshingled home that had been destroyed by the Sandy’s storm surge. To their left was concrete rubble from a pool and patio from homes that also were badly damaged. And in front of them were large piles of sand that still needed to be smoothed down before beachgoers could arrive. But she was encouraged by what she saw.

“The houses took a beating, but I’m pleased with how the beach looks,” she said. “It’s not as bad as I thought it would be.”

While Sandy damaged or destroyed many shore rentals, there are still plenty to be had, said Randy Sinor, past president of the Ocean County Board of Realtors, who works in Ship Bottom on Long Beach island.

“On LBI, we all have 95 percent or better of our

pre-Sandy inventory ready for rental,” he said.

“We are open, we are ready, and we have prime weeks still available. It is not too late.”

Countywide, rental stock ranges from about 65 percent of what was there before Sandy to 90 percent, depending on the town, he said. Demand has been about 75 percent of what it was at this time last year.

Not all of the Jersey shore was hurt by Sandy.

Famous resort towns including Ocean City and the Wildwoods suffered minimal damage that was quickly repaired. Those areas are girding for a potential spike in visitors this summer as vacationers seeking thrill rides look elsewhere this year.

“Our hearts go out to the areas that were affected, but we have to get the message out that a good portion of the Jersey Shore will be open, and we hope vacationers will support New Jersey’s tourism economy,” said John Siciliano, head of the Greater

Follow this checklist and grill maintenance will never be a big job — Preheat the grill on high every time you use it.

—After pre-heating,use crumpled foil to loosen and clean away any gray ash or leftover residue on the cooking grates.

— After removing the food from the cooking grate, turn burners back to high and burn any stuck-on food off for 10 to 15 minutes.

— After each use, use a brass-bristle grill brush or crumpled foil to loosen and clean residue on the cooking grate.

— Remove accumulated ashes from charcoal grills frequently.

from one end of the beach to the other. Belmar finished its boardwalk repairs first, in late April, Seaside Heights is not far behind, Asbury Park is done and numerous other towns have either finished or plan to do so by Friday.

Even the Ortley Beach section of Toms River, which was devastated by the storm, started rebuilding its boardwalk two weeks ago and expects to have it open by June.

The beaches themselves may look fine in most places, but many are flatter than they once were, said Jon Miller, a coastal expert with Stevens Institute of Technology. He predicted the coast will remain vulnerable to future storms until much of the sand that was lost either returns naturally with the tides, or is physically put back on the beaches by heavy equipment, and beach replenishment and protective dune projects need to be carried out. He also said dangerous rip currents could appear this year in places they didn’t use to be, due to the changed topography of the ocean floor.

And for all the attention boardwalks and on tourists, this summer will be marked by long, hard work for many shore residents still struggling to recover. Andrea Bowne is elevating her home near the ocean in Point Pleasant Beach, which took on 3 feet (1 meter) of water during the storm. Since then, she has moved from place to place, longing for the day she can go back home.

“Hopefully they’ll be done soon and we can be working on the interior all summer,” she said. “I say I’m moving back in as soon as there’s electric and cable. My friends say, ‘Uh, how about water and sewer? You plan on flushing any toilets?’ And I say, ‘OK, that, too.’ I don’t even care if there’s gas yet; I don’t plan on cooking anything all summer!”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton saw A.J. Green lined up on the outside and let it fly, lofting the ball deep down the sideline.

Nobody had to guess what the Bengals are focused on during their offseason team practices.

Throw deep. As much as possible.

Dalton is trying to refine the long-distance connection that was missing in their biggest games late last season. He tried repeatedly to get the ball to Green way down the field, but missed most of the time.

"It's not just Andy," Green said. "It's me, too. I can run them better, give him a better target to throw the ball. It's on my part, too. We're both trying to get better each practice.

"That's the big focal point coming into the OTAs." The Bengals started their organized team activities on the field this week looking to refine a passing game that lacked the big play down the stretch.

Dalton overthrew an open Green in the end zone on a long pass in the closing minutes of a 19-13 loss at Houston in the first round of the playoffs, a play that epitomized their problems. In the last five regular-season games, Green caught only two passes for more than 20 yards.

It wasn't for a lack of trying. Dalton's long passes would drift out of bounds, sail too far or

come up a bit short, allowing the defender to break it up. He knows that's the main area for improvement heading into his third season in Cincinnati.

Can't miss on those chances.

"It's been emphasized, yeah," Dalton said. "Any chance we get, we're taking some deep shots, whether it be one-on-one (coverage) or just to let the receivers go up and get it.

I think it's definitely helping us out and there will be room for improvement."

Quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese has been working with Dalton on his footwork and getting more arc on his deep throws.

"As we've put in some work," Dalton said. "I definitely see an improvement."

He threw long passes to Marvin Jones and Green during practice on Tuesday, putting the ball where it had to be in order to get the completions.

"When you hit those on these first days, it kind of sets the tone of how these OTAs are going to be," Dalton said.

Cincinnati spent a lot of money keeping its offense virtually intact, looking to make the playoffs for the third year in a row — something the Bengals have never done in their history. They've made the playoffs as a wild card each of the last two seasons and lost to Houston both times.

The Bengals are 0-4 in

the postseason under coach Marvin Lewis, entering his 11th season in Cincinnati. They haven't won a playoff game since the 1990 season, a streak of futility that ties for seventh-longest in league history.

Much of the focus this season is on Dalton, who has struggled mightily in his two playoff games. The second-round pick from Texas Christian has gone 41 of 72 for 384 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions during the two playoff losses, which equates to a passer rating of only 48.6.

Dalton expects to be better all-around in his third season. If he's not, the Bengals will have to re-evaluate him as the starter.

Lewis challenged Dalton and middle linebacker Rey Maualuga to take more of a leadership role last season. He liked what he saw and rewarded them by making them team captains, putting a symbolic "C'' on their jerseys.

Now, it's time for Dalton to lead them deeper into the playoffs ... or else.

"It's all about a comfort level once you're in year three," Green said. "I feel like this is his team and he knows it is his team, so all he has to do is go out there and play."

NOTES: The Bengals reached a contract agreement Wednesday with DE Margus Hunt, one of their second-round picks. Seven of their 10 draft picks have deals.

Backup QB competition is already underway Three trying to win spot behind Dalton CINCINNATI (AP) — Josh Johnson replaced his tiger-striped helmet with a Bengals stocking cap after practice on a sunny, 82-degree afternoon. The quarterback fifth-year was the only player looking for a little extra warmth.

No, he's not from around here. Nor are the two others trying out for the same job.

The competition for Cincinnati's backup quarterback job has started with the team's first offseason organized workouts. The Bengals are looking for someone to replace Bruce Gradkowski, who was Andy Dalton's backup the last two seasons before leaving for Pittsburgh.

Rather than get one guy to take the job, the Bengals signed Johnson — a former Tampa Bay starter — and claimed John Skelton off waivers from Arizona to compete with inexperienced Zac Robinson.

The Bengals want to see which one develops a knack for making the most out of very limiting chances during OTA workouts, minicamp and training camp.

"We're going to have to see the efficiency of it and the ability to handle the football team," coach Marvin Lewis said after the workout on Tuesday. "To play unnerved and to play where we have confidence."

So far, the Bengals haven't needed their backup quarterback much. Dalton has started all 34 games during his two seasons, including a pair of first-round playoff losses to Houston.

Gradkowski was needed only once. Dalton

hurt his throwing wrist during the first half of the season opener in Cleveland during his rookie season. Gradkowski played the second half and threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green, who was uncovered because the Browns were slow leaving their defensive huddle.

Otherwise, Gradkowski's biggest contribution was helping Dalton adjust to the NFL and Cincinnati's new West Coast offense.

"He'd been in the league for a while and he understood the game," Dalton said on Tuesday. "To come to the sideline and talk to him about things of what he saw and talk through some of those things, it was good to have Bruce here. I think he definitely helped me out."

There's no clear-cut favorite to become his successor.

Johnson has a connection to the coaching staff.

He was Tampa Bay's fifthround pick in 2008 and played in 26 games, starting five of them, from 2008-11. He became familiar with Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden in Florida.

Johnson was released

by San Francisco before last season. With no NFL team interested, he signed with Sacramento of the United Football League.

The injury-depleted Browns needed a quarterback for their final game of the season and signed Johnson, who then became a free agent again.

Cincinnati represents a chance to get his NFL career back on firm footing.

"I would rather be doing nothing else," Johnson said. "I was out of the game — well, not the game completely. I was in

the UFL, but that was only for four games. But just to be back on the grass (fields), once you have it taken away from you, you really understand how much you appreciate it. So I'm just excited to be back out here."

Gruden was an assistant coach at Tampa Bay during Johnson's rookie season, so there's some familiarity with the way he likes things done.

"I spent a good year with Jay," Johnson said.

"He would interact with the quarterbacks a lot, even though he wasn't our quarterbacks coach. And then with (former Oakland and Tampa Bay coach) Jon (Gruden) being his brother, I learned a lot from him as well.

"To walk into this situation, it's good to have that comfortability."

Skelton is looking for a return to stability after a very strange year in Arizona. The Cardinals signed Kevin Kolb before deciding to hold a competition for the job last season. Kolb was injured during the Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio, and Skelton won the starting job. But he suffered an ankle injury during the closing minute of the season opener, and Kolb became the starter.

The Cardinals lost nine in a row and used three different starters — rookie Ryan Lindley received a chance, too — during the slump.

"It was just a roller coaster the whole season," Skelton said. "We never got any stability. And you have those seasons sometimes in the NFL, and a lot of it is how you come back and how you respond from a season like that."

The bogey-free 62 equaled Palmer's lowest round on the PGA Tour.

Palmer, the former Texas A&M player who has three PGA Tour victories, and longtime caddie James Edmondson are full dues-paying members at Colonial. Edmondson is even the reigning club champion.

Graham DeLaet, wearing pants with a plaid design similar to the jacket Colonial winners get, matched Morgan Hoffmann, David Hearn and John Peterson at 64. Matt Kuchar, No. 13 in the world ranking and the highest-ranked player in the 136-man invitational

field, was in a group of six at 65.

SENIOR PGA In St. Louis, Jay Haas and Duffy Waldorf shared the first-round lead in the Senior PGA Championship, shooting 5-under 66 at Bellerive Country Club.

The 59-year-old Haas, the winner of the major championship in 2006 and 2008, had a bogey-free round. The 50-year-old Waldorf had six birdies and one bogey.

Haas has 16 Champions Tour victories after winning nine times on the PGA Tour. Waldorf is winless in 11 career starts on the 50-and-over tour after winning four times on the PGA Tour.

Sonny Skinner, the PGA head professional at River Pointe Golf Club in Albany, Ga., was a stroke back.

Dirtbags Win Memorial Tournament

he Ohio Dirtbags U14 baseball team recently played in the sixthAnnual Mark A. Kreusch Memorial Youth Tournament ("The MAK") at Action Sports Center in Dayton. The Dirtbags beat the West Carrollton Pirates 4-2, The Sting 14-3, the West Liberty Tigers 15-0, and ultimately run-ruled the Bellefontaine Chieftains 9-0 in the championship game.

In the photo are front row (left to right): Coach Tony McLain, Donovan Martinez, Austin McLain, Bryce Kleiber, Josh Abbott, coach JJ Kleiber. Standing: Coach Jon Hofmann, Torin Fletcher, Alby Baker, Kiefer Jones, Cole Hofmann, Parker Riley, Nathan Blei, and coach Dave Riley.

Mark Kreusch was only four years old when he lost his young life on August 11, 2007 in a tragic boating accident. In his short life, he impacted many in a large way. In an effort to perpetuate his memory, his family created the Mark Andrew Kreusch Fund to benefit youth enrichment. The "MAK" baseball tournament was started in July 2008 as the very first fundraiser for the organization.

the back draw and we did that,” Bennett said.

That opening win came in impressive fashion.

After taking the first set, Lehman got two early breaks in the second set and cruised from there.

“We played a really solid match,” Bennett said.

Lehman coach Kristy Sherman agreed.

“They played real well,” she said. “They played well all day. The Miami Valley team is a good team.”

Against Head and Ellis, things got interesting really quick.

There was a break after the first point of the third game when the Seven Hills players both swung at a ball and one ended up with a cut over the eye.

And the first set was one that could have gone either way.

“There were a lot of key points we had on our racket,” Shroyer said. “We just weren’t able to finish.”

One key came with the match on a serve at 3-2 and Lehman getting a chance at a break point.

Seven Hills scored the next three points, then broke Lehman to go up 43.

“You never know (if Lehman had gotten the break),” Sherman said.

“There are a lot of what-ifs in ever match. There were a lot of close games and key points where we just didn’t quite finish.”

Bennett and Shroyer answered right back with a break of their own and the match stayed on serve, leaving it at 6-6 and forcing a tiebreaker. The Cavaliers trailed from the start in the tiebreaker, losing 7-4.

“There were a lot of momentum swings out there,” Bennett, who followed in his sister Meghan’s shoes in playing a match on centre court.

After Bennett held serve to start the second set, things went downhill — with the Seven Hills duo winning the next five games and finishing the match off at 6-2.

“We just fell apart,” Bennett said. “And you can’t give a team like that, that many chances.”

Sherman agreed.

“They didn’t play bad,” she said. “But, Seven Hills is a really good team. We played a great first set.

When you them openings like we did in the second set, they are going to take advantage of it. And we will have another tough match Saturday.”

And the duo will be ready.

We have to win twice,” Bennett said.

And Shroyer quickly followed with, “We will” as they headed off the court and out of a brief shower that broke out after the match.

They already did the work to give themselves that opportunity Thursday morning.

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, May 25, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Travel plans might be delayed or canceled today. Alternatively, an unexpected trip suddenly might fall in your lap. (It could go either way.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep an eye on your bank account today, because unexpected events might occur (like an overdraft). On the upside, you might receive a gift or a favor from someone. Who knows?

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You can expect to meet someone unusual today, perhaps a real character.

Or possibly, someone you know well will do something bizarre or unexpected.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your home routine will be interrupted today. This could come from the introduction of new technology or perhaps technological breakdowns. Staff shortages or someone new on the scene might make waves.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a mildly accident-prone day for your kids, so be extra vigilant. Unexpected flirtations might make your heart go pitter-patter. Sports events might have surprising turnarounds.

Curious day!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Stock the fridge because surprise company might drop by. Or your home routine will be interrupted because small appliances will break down or minor breakages will occur. Oops.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Be careful of everything you say or do today, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign. However, you will meet stimulating situations and new faces!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) If shopping today, count your change and keep your receipts. You might find money; you might lose money. Be vigilant.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel restless today. You want to do something different, because you feel that you need a change of scenery.

Quite likely, this actually will happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Something hidden or behind the scenes might force you to take a detour today. Stay light on your feet, and pack a lunch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Friends will surprise you today. However, some of you will meet someone new who amazes you. (A real character.) In fact, this new acquaintance might make you rethink where you're headed.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Something unexpected might occur today in your relationships with bosses, parents and authority figures.

Hopefully it's a pleasant surprise. If not, don't be lippy. Just let this surprise pass.

YOU BORN TODAY You are resourceful and adaptable. If one thing doesn't work, you'll try another until you succeed. You always fight for what you want. You're aware of trends in society, but personally, you have your own code of conduct because you value your individuality. In the year ahead, something you've been involved with for about nine years will end or diminish in order to create room for something new.

LaTisha Garcia carries her 8-year-old daughter, Jazmin Rodriguez, near Plaza Towers Elementary School after a massive tornado carved its way through Moore, Okla., leaving little of the school and neighborhood. This picture, published on hundreds of front pages around the world, has become one of the enduring images from the storm.

BY SEAN MURPHY Associated Press MOORE, Okla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A massive tornado was carving its way through town. There was no time to hesitate. LaTisha Garcia had to get to her children.

And so she raced against the storm. She had 30 miles to cover from her job in Edmond to Plaza Towers Elementary School, where her 8-yearold daughter Jazmin Rodriguez is a third grader.

She lost.

The tornado got there first, and the destruction kept her from driving the final few hundred yards.

And so she got out of her car and ran, arriving to find little left of the school and almost nothing of the neighborhood.

Panic set in.

Survivors of the storm were frantic, pulling children from the twisted metal and piles of concrete rubble that remained of what was once a school.

She knew her three youngest children were safe at their daycare, but Jazmin was somewhere inside the rubble.

Terror came next. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right when I ran up to ask if I could start pulling people out or try to help, some guy just handed her to me,â&#x20AC;? Garcia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only recognized her from her clothes. My mind was in so many different places, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even remember what she wore that day.â&#x20AC;?

Finally, relief.

The emotion seared on her face, she scooped her daughter into her arms and set off across the now barren landscape away from the place where seven of Jazminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schoolmates had died.

An Associated Press photographer, Sue Ogrocki, captured the moment: Mother and daughter, clutching each other, making their way to safety through a decimated neighborhood. All that stood behind them was a tree stripped of its limbs and bark, brutally wrapped in sheet metal by the storm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long way toward the end of the parking lot,â&#x20AC;? Garcia recalled.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;And sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heavy girl.

There were times I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was going to make it. But I did.â&#x20AC;?

The picture was published on hundreds of front pages around the world, becoming one of the enduring images from the storm.

Garcia, 28, was exhausted after carrying her daughter to the parking lot, where a paramedic placed her on a backboard and rushed her to a nearby hospital. As they pulled into the parking lot of the medical center, emotions flooded over her again as she realized that building also had been decimated by the twister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of overwhelming seeing the hospital was hit too,â&#x20AC;? she said, her voice quivering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made me feel more helpless than I already felt.â&#x20AC;?

She also was gripped by what her daughter shared about the frightening moments inside the school as she and her classmates took shelter in a hallway as the storm approached. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said all she really remembers is them telling them to get in the position for tornadoes. She remembers everything hitting her back, the noise, kids screaming and crying,â&#x20AC;?

Garcia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said when she felt everything hit her back, she tried her best to just push everything off of her, and then she said she started getting lightheaded but that she just remembered to keep breathing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She heard a lot of kids screaming for their moms.

She just felt stuff hit her face.â&#x20AC;?

Jazmin ended up with bumps and bruises, but no long lasting injuries from the ordeal. And although Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home a few blocks from the school was reduced to a pile of rubble, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thankful Jazmin and her three younger children all survived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just pretty banged up. The pain in her back and the soreness is just from her trying to push the bricks off of her,â&#x20AC;?

Garcia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know she definitely had Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arms around her to walk out of there.â&#x20AC;?

Damage from tornado could top $2 billion MOORE, Okla. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The cost of a massive tornado that battered an Oklahoma City suburb could be more than $2 billion, according to a preliminary estimate announced Wednesday by the Oklahoma Insurance Department.

Spokeswoman Calley Herth told The Associated Press that the early tally is based on visual assessments of the extensive damage zone stretching more than 17 miles and the fact that the tornado was on the ground for 40 minutes.

She said the financial cost of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tornado in Moore could be greater than the $2 billion in damage from the 2011 tornado

that killed 158 people in Joplin, Mo. Herth said that twister left a smaller trail of destruction.

With no reports of anyone still missing and with the death toll at 24 people, authorities and residents turned Wednesday toward assessing the damage and plotting a future course for Moore, a town of about 56,000 which was also hit by a massive tornado in 1999.

Authorities have yet to present concrete numbers for how many homes were damaged or destroyed, but the view from the air shows whole neighborhoods obliterated, with gouged earth littered with splintered wood and pulverized cars.
