Senior living facility breaks ground in Sidney BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@civitasmedia.com With an anticipated grand opening in the fall, a celebratory ground breaking was held Thursday on West Russell Road for LanePark, a senior living community that will offer both assisted living and memory care. In attendance were Shelby County Commissioners Julie Ehemann, Tony Bornhorst, and Bob Guillozet, Sidney Vice Mayor Mardie Milligan, Sidney Planning Director Barbara Dulworth, Sidney-Shelby County Chamber of Commerce President Jeff Raible and board member John Eve, West Ohio Development Council Executive Director Mike Dodds and Andy Wade, director of operations for Lane Park’s parent company, Alcore Senior Living, which is based in Columbus. Chad Simpson, corporate director of marketing for Alcore, said in a press release, “We are fortunate to have wide support from elected officials and others from across the Sidney and Shelby County area. We want to especially recognize County Commissioners Ehemann, Bornhorst and Guillozet as well city of Sidney Planning Director Barbara Dul-
worth and the executive director of the West Ohio Development Council, Michael Dodds, all of whom played a significant role in the decision for us to develop the LanePark senior living community in Sidney.” Raible acknowledged that decision. “We couldn’t be happier for you. Thanks for choosing Sidney,” he said. “We have a good deal of experience in developing and managing communities like this, and they’ve proved very popular,” Wade said. “Most seniors hate the idea of going to a nursing home, and LanePark will give them a real alternative. We recognize that there are other assisted living places in the area, but this will bring Sidney one that is brand new and offers state-of-the-art services and amenities.” LanePark will also make a visible economic impact in Sidney. The company plans to hire about 25 employees with an annual payroll of more than $500,000. “At a cost of about $11 million, LanePark will have 50 assisted living and 14 memory care units in the 45,000 square foot building,” Wade said. “The fastest growing segment is our seniors. We’re incredibly excited to be able See SENIOR/Page 5

Crowding a concern after killings at prison BY JOHN SEEWER The Associated Press
Hensley pretrial rescheduled
TOLEDO (AP) — In the two years since Ohio’s newest prison began putting two inmates in the same cell to deal with overcrowding, the number of assaults among prisoners has soared. Injuries needing outside hospital treatment have quadrupled. And after a dozen years without any deadly attacks inside the Toledo Correctional Institution, two inmates have been killed since September — the most recent one two weeks ago when a prisoner was strangled with a rope in his cell. The increase in violence is raising concerns about overcrowding at a time when the Toledo prison has added hundreds of new inmates, including maximum security prisoners moved out of lower security facilities. “I’m worried that something is amiss out there. Just what it is, I have no idea. Obviously something is not right,” said state Sen. Edna Brown, a Democrat from Toledo who’s on a legislative committee that has some oversight of the state’s prison system. Brown said during a tour of the prison last year she heard more complaints from inmates about double bunking and a lack of space than anything else. The committee warned of the rising number of assaults in a report issued last year. And this week, its executive director sent out a letter about the latest trouble at the Toledo prison. “It is my firm belief that overcrowding will result in prison violence and I think that this is a key example,” wrote Joanna Saul, head of the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee. “It’s purely a population issue,” she said in an interview. The growing number of inmate-on-inmate assaults just about matches the Toledo prison’s population increase over the last few years, said warden Ed

Sheldon. There were 52 inmate assaults last year, up from 31 in 2011. But the number of serious assaults, those requiring outside medical attention, jumped from an average of three per year to 16 last year, according to state statistics. At the same time, inmate assaults on staff have been cut in half. Sheldon said that the prison’s culture has changed dramatically with its rise in population. It opened as a close security prison but now also houses about 225 maximum security inmates. The overall population increased by about 500 inmates at one point and is now at 1,250 inmates, well above where it was two years ago. The prison also has taken in new inmates from around the state, increasing tension among rival gangs. “The numbers pretty much tell the tale,” Sheldon said. The biggest change is that inmates no longer have their own cell. “When you double bunk them, there’s a lot of tension,” the warden said. Angela Brandel, a prison guard for the past 10 years in Toledo, said some changes made in response to the rising violence, such as isolating the well-behaved inmates, have helped. But she doesn’t think it will be enough to stop the increased fighting. “You still have the overcrowding and you still have the double-

bunking,” she said. “What can you do when you have so many inmates?” There is hope that a new law that took effect last fall will ease some of overcrowding and save the state money. The law forces judges to sentence some offenders to drug treatment programs or county jails instead of prison. Corrections officials and investigators have not said whether double-bunking or overcrowding played a role in the two inmate deaths in Toledo. An inmate, Lawrence Michael “Mike” Hensley, who is serving a life sentence for killing three teenage girls and a Bible studies teacher, was charged in the September strangling while the investigation is ongoing into the most recent slaying. “Some of these guys are evil for a reason, that’s pretty much all I can say,” said the warden, who added that both killings have led to reviews of how limit the chances of something like that happening again. “I can’t prevent everything, but we have to limit the opportunities,” he said.

VIETNAM diers suffering from it and other injuries from Iraq and Afghanistan. Below are the stories of a few of the people who experienced a part of the Vietnam War firsthand. Ribbons unworn Former Air Force Sgt. Howard Kern, who lives in central Ohio near Newark, spent a year in Vietnam before returning home in 1968. He said that for a long time he refused to wear any service ribbons associating him with southeast Asia and he didn’t even his tell his wife until a couple of years after they married that he had served in Vietnam. He said she was supportive of his war service and subsequent decision to go back to the Air Force to serve another 18 years. Kern said that when he flew back from Vietnam with other service members, they were told to change out of uniform and into civilian clothes while they were still on the airplane in case they encountered protesters. “What stands out most about everything is that before I went and after I got back, the news media only showed the bad things the military was doing over there and the body counts,” said Kern, now 66. “A lot of combat troops would give their c rations to Vietnamese children, but you never saw anything about that — you never saw all the good that GIs did over there.” Kern, an administrative assistant at the Licking County Veterans’ Service Commission, said the public’s attitude is a lot better toward veterans coming home for Iraq and Afghanistan — something he attributes in part to Vietnam veterans. “We’re the ones that greet these soldiers at the airports. We’re the ones who help with parades and stand alongside the road when they come back and applaud them and salute them,” he said. He said that while the public “might condemn war today, they don’t condemn the warriors.” “I think the way the public is treating these kids today is a great thing,” Kern said. “I wish they had treated us that way.” But he still worries about the toll that multiple tours can take on service members. “When we went over there, you came home when your tour was over and didn’t go back unless you volunteered. They are sending GIs back now maybe five or seven times, and that’s way too much for a combat veteran,” he said. He remembers feeling glad when the last troops left Vietnam, but was sad to see Saigon fall two years later. “Vietnam was a very beautiful country, and I felt sorry for the people there,” he said. A rising panic Tony Lam was 36 on the day the last U.S. combat troops left Vietnam. He was a young husband and father, but most importantly, he was a businessman and U.S. contractor furnishing dehydrated rice to South Vietnamese troops. He also ran a fish meal plant and a refrigerated shipping business that exported shrimp. As Lam, now 76, watched American forces dwindle and then disappear, he felt a rising panic. His close association with the Americans was wellknown and he needed to get out — and get his family out — or risk being tagged as a spy and thrown into a Communist prison. He watched as South Vietnamese com-

manders fled, leaving whole battalions without a leader. “We had no chance of surviving under the Communist invasion there. We were very much worried about the safety of our family, the safety of other people,” he said this week from his adopted home in Westminster, Calif. But Lam wouldn’t leave for nearly two more years after the last U.S. combat troops, driven to stay by his love of his country and his belief that Vietnam and its economy would recover. When Lam did leave, on April 21, 1975, it was aboard a packed C-130 that departed just as Saigon was about to fall. He had already worked
for 24 hours at the airport to get others out after seeing his wife and two young children off to safety in the Philippines. “My associate told me, ‘You’d better go. It’s critical. You don’t want to end up as a Communist prisoner.’ He pushed me on the flight out. I got tears in my eyes once the flight took off and I looked down from the plane for the last time,” Lam recalled. “No one talked to each other about how critical it was, but we all knew it.” Now, Lam lives in Southern California’s Little Saigon, the largest concentration of Vietnamese outside of Vietnam. In 1992, Lam made history by becoming the
first Vietnamese-American to elected to public office in the U.S. and he went on to serve on the Westminster City Council for 10 years. Looking back over four decades, Lam says he doesn’t regret being forced out of his country and forging a new, American, life. “I went from being an industrialist to pumping gas at a service station,” said Lam, who now works as a consultant and owns a Lee’s Sandwich franchise, a well-known Vietnamese chain. “But thank God I am safe and sound and settled here with my six children and 15 grandchildren,” he said. “I’m a happy man.”
Nightmares Wayne Reynolds’ nightmares got worse this week with the approach of the anniversary of the U.S. troop withdrawal. Reynolds, 66, spent a year working as an Army medic on an evacuation helicopter in 1968 and 1969. On days when the fighting was worst, his chopper would make four or five landings in combat zones to rush wounded troops to emergency hospitals. The terror of those missions comes back to him at night, along with images of the blood that was everywhere. The dreams are worst when he spends the most time thinking about Vietnam, like around anniversaries.
“I saw a lot of people die,” said Reynolds. Today, Reynolds lives in Athens, Ala., after a career that included stints as a public school superintendent and, most recently, a registered nurse. He is serving his 13th year as the Alabama president of the Vietnam Veterans of America, and he also has served on the group’s national board as treasurer. Like many who came home from the war, Reynolds is haunted by the fact he survived Vietnam when thousands more didn’t. Encountering war protesters after returning home made the readjustment to civilian life more difficult. See WAR/Page 6

mander for two years. He said the post’s veterans career center has been pulled by the state. He said the closest AMVETS career center is now in Fairborn. State law requires 25 percent of AMVETS licensed gaming profits to go to charity, with the 59 posts making the Ohio AMVETS Career Center as their designated public charity and they were to operate satellite career centers. The Attorney General’s Office investigation reportedly found that 85 percent of the money sent to the Ohio AMVETS Career Center was sent back to the local posts where in many cases it was allegedly used for improper purposes. Under the terms of the agreement, AMVETS Post 1986 and 58 other posts around the state will fund a reformed career center for veterans for five years. New board members have been appointed. Attorney General Mike DeWine said AMVETS officials were cooperative during the investigation. “I am confident that this cooperation will continue, this agreement will be fully followed, and most importantly, Ohio’s veterans will get the services they need and deserve,” DeWine said in the news release. No criminal charges have been filed in the investigation. In a written statement, Sandy Vorhies, AMVETS Department of Ohio State commander, expressed “anger that veterans did not receive needed services” and noted that several people who contributed to the problems have been fired. The investigation also involved AMVETS posts in Covington, Lakeview and Troy. The Associated Press contributed to this article.

investigation revealed that “career centers” at many posts were facades created to give the appearance of a career center, according to a news release. The officials also reported the centers consisted of just an outdated computer. Officials with AMVETS Post 1986 say they plan to comply with the stipulations of the agreement. “We’re going along with the recommendations,” said Terry Cupp, Post 1986 commander. Cupp said the local post maintained a career center, but “nobody was using it. I wish our career center had been used by more veterans”. Post 1986 officers maintain there was no wrongdoing regarding how the funds from the instant bingo sales were handled. “We never misappropriated funds,” said Jim Kreitner, Post 1986 treasurer. Kreitner and Cupp said funds the post received from the state career center were donated to charities like the Muscular Dystrophy Association and used to cover the costs of the instant tickets. AMVETS career centers at the 59 posts were rated by AMVETS Career Center Inc. based on the performance of the satellite centers from Oct. 1, 2011, through Sept. 30, 2012. Post 1986 received an “F” for its performance. The evaluations also included figures on the approximate amount of charitable funds the posts received from AMVETS Career Center Inc. from Jan. 1, 2006, through May 31, 2012. It was reported Post 1986 received $52,897 during the period. “I was shocked when the attorney general contacted me (about the investigation),” said Cupp, who has been com-

Thunderbirds won’t perform DAYTON (AP) — The U.S. Air Force’s grounding of its Thunderbirds jet demonstration team means the planes won’t be headlining this summer’s Dayton Air Show. It’s not a surprise. The Air Force earlier announced that it planned to ground the Thunderbirds April 1 if a federal budget deal wasn’t reached. Organizers of the popular Dayton Air Show made the Thunderbirds’ cancellation official in a release Thursday.

From Page 3 won,” he said. “We could have won faster if we had been a little more aggressive about pushing our ideas instead of just fighting.” Warner, 72, was the avionics officer in a Marine Corps attack squadron when his fighter plane was shot down north of the Demilitarized Zone in October 1967. He said the communist-made goods he was issued as a prisoner, including razor blades and East German-made shovels, were inferior products that bolstered his resolve. “It was worth it,” he said. A native of Ypsilanti, Mich., Warner went on to a career in law in government service. He is a member of the Republican Central Committee of Washington County, Md. Two-time witness Denis Gray witnessed the Vietnam War twice — as an Army captain stationed in Saigon from 1970 to 1971 for a U.S. military intelligence unit, and again as a reporter at the start of a 40-year career with the AP. “Saigon in 1970-71 was full of American soldiers. It had a certain kind of vibe. There were the usual clubs, and the bars were going wild,” Gray recalled. “Some parts of the city were very, very Americanized.” Gray’s unit was helping to prepare for the troop pullout by turning over supplies and projects to the South Vietnamese during a period that Washington viewed as the final phase of the war. But morale among soldiers was low, reinforced by a feeling that the U.S. was leaving without finishing its job. “Personally, I came to Vietnam and the military wanting to believe that I was in a — maybe not a just war but a — war that might have to be fought,” Gray said. “Toward the end of it, myself and most of my fellow officers, and the men we were commanding didn’t quite believe that … so that made the situation really complex.” After his one-year service in Saigon ended in 1971, Gray returned home to Connecticut and got a job with the AP in Albany, N.Y. But he was soon posted to Indochina, and returned to Saigon in August 1973 — four months after the U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam — to discover a different city. “The aggressiveness that militaries bring to any place they go — that was all gone,” he said. A small American presence remained, mostly diplomats, advisers and aid workers but the bulk of troops had left. The war between U.S.-allied South Vietnam and communist North Vietnam was continuing, and it was still two years before the fall of Saigon to the communist forces. “There was certainly no panic or chaos — that came much later in ‘74, ‘75. But certainly it was a city with a lot of anxiety in it.” The Vietnam War was the first of many wars Gray witnessed. As AP’s Bangkok bureau chief for more than 30 years, Gray has covered wars in Cambodia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Rwanda, Kosovo, and “many, many insurgencies along the way.” “I don’t love war, I hate it,” Gray said. “(But) when there have been other conflicts, I’ve been asked to go. So, it was definitely the shaping event of my professional life.” Dedication to kids
Harry Prestanski, 65, of West Chester, Ohio, served 16 months as a Marine in Vietnam and remembers having to celebrate his 21st birthday there. He is now retired from a career in public relations and spends a lot of time as an advocate for veterans, speaking to various organizations and trying to help veterans who are looking for jobs. “The one thing I would tell those coming back today is to seek out other veterans and share their experiences,” he said. “There are so many who will work with veterans and try to help them — so many opportunities that weren’t there when we came back.” He says that even though the recent wars are different in some ways from Vietnam, those serving in any war go through some of the same experiences. “One of the most difficult things I ever had to do was to sit down with the mother of a friend of mine who didn’t come back and try to console her while outside her office there were people protesting the Vietnam War,” Prestanski said. He said the public’s response to veterans is not what it was 40 years ago and credits Vietnam veterans for helping with that. “When we served, we were viewed as part of the problem,” he said. “One thing about Vietnam veterans is that — almost to the man — we want to make sure that never happens to those serving today. We welcome them back and go out of our way to airports to wish them well when they leave.” He said some of the positive things that came out of his war service were the leadership skills and confidence he gained that helped him when he came back. “I felt like I could take on the world,” he said. Younger generation Zach Boatright’s father served 21 years in the Air Force and he spent his childhood rubbing shoulders with Vietnam vets who lived and worked on Edwards Air Force Base in California’s Mojave Desert, where he grew up. Yet Boatright, 27, said the war has little resonance with him. “We have a new defining moment. 9/11 is everyone’s new defining moment now,” he said of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. soil. Boatright, who was 16 when the planes struck the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, said two of his best friends are now Air Force pilots serving in Afghanistan. He decided not to pursue the military and recently graduated from Fresno State University with a degree in recreation administration. People back home are more supportive of today’s troops, Boatright said, because the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are linked in Americans’ minds with those attacks. Improved military technology and no military draft also makes the fighting seem remote to those who don’t have loved ones enlisted, he said. “Because 9/11 happened, anything since then is kind of justified. If you’re like, ‘We’re doing that because of this’ then it makes people feel better about the whole situation,” said Boatright, who’s working at a Starbucks in the Orange County suburbs while deciding whether to pursue a master’s degree in history.

CINCINNATI ZOO & Botanical Garden Primate Team Leader Ron Evans works on paperwork as 2 month-old “Gladys,” a Western Lowland Gorilla sleeps on his back, on Wednesday in Cincinnati. Evans says “Gladys” is in good health, developing and growing quickly with loving care from 10 humans imitating a gorilla mom’s behavior.
Baby gorilla thrives with human surrogates CINCINNATI (AP) — A baby gorilla being raised temporarily by human surrogate parents is doing well — learning to roll over, sit up and getting ready to walk on all fours. Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden primate specialists say “Gladys” is in good health, developing and growing quickly with loving care from 10 humans imitating a gorilla mom’s behavior. This week she began supporting herself on all fours. “The next step, she’ll be able to walk around by herself,” said Ron Evans, primate team leader. Gladys also is teething and has begun eating some cooked foods, such as sweet potatoes and carrots, besides being bottle-fed five times a day. “She’s at the age now

where she really starts growing by leaps and bounds,” Evans said. She came to Cincinnati last month from Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, after she was born there Jan. 29 to a first-time mother who showed little maternal instinct. It was decided to move her to Cincinnati’s zoo because of its extensive experience in raising gorilla babies and its availability of experienced gorilla mothers.
Human surrogates dress in black, wear furry vests and kneepads and make gorilla sounds to help prepare Gladys for the transition to a real gorilla family. They have been showing her to other gorillas and letting them touch her. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that zoo specialists think she will be ready within a few months, and there are four potential adoptive moms among their gorillas.

“I was literally spat on in Chicago in the airport,” he said. “No one spoke out in my favor.” Reynolds said the lingering survivor’s guilt and the rude reception back home are the main reasons he spends much of his time now working with veteran’s groups to help others obtain medical benefits. He also acts as an advocate on veterans’ issues, a role that landed him a spot on the program at a 40th anceremony niversary planned for Friday in Huntsville, Ala. It took a long time for Reynolds to acknowledge his past, though. For years after the war, Reynolds said, he didn’t include his Vietnam service on his resume and rarely discussed it with anyone. “A lot of that I blocked out of my memory. I almost never talk about my Vietnam experience other than to say, ‘I was there,’ even to my family,” he said. No ill will A former North Vietnamese soldier, Ho Van Minh heard about the American combat troop withdrawal during a weekly meeting with his commanders in the battlefields of southern Vietnam. The news gave the northern forces fresh hope of victory, but the worst of the war was still to come for Minh: The 77year-old lost his right leg to a land mine while advancing on Saigon, just a month before that city fell. “The news of the withdrawal gave us more strength to fight,” Minh said Thursday, after touring a museum in the capital, Hanoi, devoted to the Vietnamese victory and home to captured American tanks and destroyed aircraft. “The U.S. left behind a weak South Vietnam army. Our spirits was so high and we all believed that Saigon would be liberated soon,” he said. Minh, who was on a two-week tour of northern Vietnam with other veterans, said he bears no ill will to the American soldiers even though much of the country was destroyed and an estimated 3 million Vietnamese died. If he met an American veteran now he says, “I would not feel angry; instead I would extend my sympathy to them because they were sent to fight in Vietnam against their will.” But on his actions, he has no regrets. “If someone comes to destroy your house, you have to stand up to fight.” A POW’s reflection Two weeks before the last U.S. troops left Vietnam, Marine Corps Capt. James H. Warner was freed from North Vietnamese confinement after nearly 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war. He said those years of forced labor and interrogation reinforced his conviction that the United States was right to confront the spread of communism. The past 40 years have proven that free enterprise is the key to prosperity, Warner said in an interview Thursday at a coffee shop near his home in Rohrersville, Md., about 60 miles from Washington. He said American ideals ultimately prevailed, even if our methods weren’t as effective as they could have been. “China has ditched socialism and gone in favor of improving their economy, and the same with Vietnam. The Berlin Wall is gone. So essentially, we

NATION/WORLD TODAY IN HISTORY BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Good Friday, March 29, the 88th day of 2013. There are 277 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 29, 1973, the last United States combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct military involvement in the Vietnam War. In an address to the nation, President Richard Nixon declared, “For the first time in 12 years, no American military forces are in Vietnam.” On this date: • In 1613, King James I granted a charter officially designating the Irish city of Derry as “Londonderry.” • In 1638, Swedish colonists settled in present-day Delaware. • In 1790, the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, was born in Charles City County, Va. • In 1812, the first White House wedding took place as Lucy Payne Washington, the sister of First Lady Dolley Madison, married Supreme Court Justice Thomas Todd. • In 1871, the Royal Albert Hall in London was opened by Queen Victoria. • In 1882, the Knights of Columbus was chartered in Connecticut. • In 1912, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, his doomed expedition stranded in an Antarctic blizzard after failing to be the first to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: “For Gods sake look after our people.” • In 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began. • In 1951, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. (They were executed in June 1953.) The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The King and I” opened on Broadway. • In 1962, Jack Paar hosted NBC’s “Tonight” show for the final time, although the network aired a repeat the following night. (Johnny Carson debuted as host the following October.) In 1971, Army Lt. William L. Calley Jr. was convicted of murdering 22 Vietnamese civilians in the My Lai (mee ly) massacre. (Calley ended up serving three years under house arrest.) A jury in Los Angeles recommended the death penalty for Charles Manson and three female followers for the 1969 TateLa Bianca murders. (The sentences were later commuted.)
OUT OF THE BLUE
Eyeballs found in trash bin KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police say they are trying to determine how a medical box containing a pair of eyeballs ended up in a trash bin at a gas station in Kansas City. Police spokesman Steve Young says a worker at a Conoco station in the city’s north called police after finding the cardboard box late Wednesday. The box was labeled, “Keep refrigerated.” Young says police aren't sure if the eyes are human, or whether any crime has been committed. Surveillance video shows two men in a blue Toyota leaving the package on the trash bin. Police say no eye banks or hospitals in the area were awaiting delivery of any eyeballs. The Jackson County Medical Examiner's office is holding the package while the investigation continues.

‘Shame on us’ Obama: If Congress forgets Newtown WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama pressed Congress on Thursday not to forget the heartbreak of the Newtown elementary school massacre and “get squishy” on tightened gun laws, though some lawmakers in his own Democratic Party remain a tough sell on an approaching Senate vote to expand purchasers’ background checks. “Shame on us if we’ve forgotten,” Obama said at the White House, standing amid 21 mothers who have lost children to shootings. “I haven’t forgotten those kids.” More than three months after 20 first-graders and six staffers were killed in Newtown, Conn., Obama urged the nation to pressure lawmakers to back what he called the best chance in over a decade to tame firearms violence. At the same time, gun control groups were staging a “Day to Demand Action” with more than 100 rallies and other events planned from Connecticut to California. This was on top of a $12 million TV ad campaign financed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg that has been pressuring sena-
tors in 13 states to tighten background-check rules. But if political momentum was building after the nightmarish December shootings, it has flagged as the Senate prepares to debate gun restrictions next month. Thanks to widespread Republican resistance and a wariness by moderate Democrats from Southern and Western states — including six who are facing re-election next year — a proposed assault weapons ban seems doomed and efforts to broaden background checks and bar high capacity ammunition magazines are in question. In one statement that typifies moderate Democrats’ caution, spokesman Kevin Hall said Virginia Sen. Mark Warner is “still holding conversations with Virginia stakeholders and sorting through issues on background checks” and proposals on assault weapons and magazines. In stronger language this week, Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota said, “I do not need someone from New York City to tell me how to handle crime in our state. I know that we can go after and prosecute criminals
without the need to infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding North Dakotans.” Expanding federal background checks to private sales at gun shows and online is the gun-control effort’s centerpiece and was the focus of Obama’s remarks. The system, designed to block criminals and the mentally disturbed from getting firearms, currently applies only to transactions by licensed gun dealers. The National Rifle Association opposes the expansion, citing a threat that it could bring federal registries of gun owners, which would be illegal. The NRA says what is needed is better enforcement of the existing system, which it says criminals too easily circumvent. Democratic sponsors are sure to need 60 votes to prevail — a daunting hurdle since the party has just 53 of the Senate’s 100 seats, plus two Democratic-leaning independents. In a sign of potential trouble ahead, six Democrats backed a failed GOP proposal last week that would have required 60 votes for all future bills restricting guns.

MAURIELLO of Watertown, Conn., (left) who is not in favor of any changes to gun laws in Connecticut speaks with Erin Nikitchyuk of Sandy Hook, Conn., right, who is for common sense regulations to reduce gun violence as they stand at a rally outside the National Shooting Sports Foundation headquarters in Newtown, Conn., Thursday. Search warrants released Thursday revealed that an arsenal of weapons including guns, more than a thousand rounds of ammunition, a bayonet and several swords was seized at Adam Lanza’s home. Lanza killed his mother, Nancy Lanza in their home before he forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn, killing 26 people.
Newtown gunman had access to huge weapons cache NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — When Adam Lanza walked out of his house for the last time, he left behind firearms and knives and more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition — taking only four guns. They would suffice. He loaded the weapons into his car, drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School, blasted his way into the building and within five minutes fired off 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223caliber rifle. Having slaughtered 20 firstgraders and six educators, he killed himself with a shot from a Glock handgun. He still had more than 100 rifle bullets at hand. Warrants released Thursday provide the most insight to date into the world of the 20year-old gunman, a recluse who played violent video games in a house packed with weaponry that was all too real. The inventory of items found in the spacious, colonial-style home included books on autism, a vast array of weapon paraphernalia and images of what appears to be a dead person covered with plastic and blood. The weapons used in the shooting had all apparently been purchased by Lanza’s mother, Nancy, with whom he lived, said prosecutor Stephen J. Sedensky III, in a statement accompanying the warrants. She was found dead in her bed; Adam Lanza had shot her the morning of the massacre, Dec. 14. Authorities also found a gun safe in his bedroom and a holiday card from Nancy Lanza containing a check made out to her son for the purchase of yet another firearm. Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy expressed incredulity over the access that the troubled young man had to a cache of weapons. “There are parts of this story that are unfathomable,” he said. “How anyone would have
maintained that household that way is difficult to understand.” Mark Barden, whose 7-year-old son, Daniel, was killed at Sandy Hook, said he was not surprised by anything revealed Thursday. “Most of this is pretty high level stuff that we were aware of already and it just reminds me of what happened, that a gunman stormed his way into an elementary school and shot to death 26 people, 20 of which were first-grade boys and girls,” Barden said. The shooting elevated gun safety to the top of President Barack Obama’s agenda; at an event in Washington on Thursday, joined by the families of four children killed at Sandy Hook, he urged lawmakers not to get “squishy” in the face of opposition to gun control. “Shame on us if we’ve forgotten,” Obama said. “I haven’t forgotten those kids.” The debate has extended to Newtown, a rural community of 27,000 people in western Connecticut that is also home to the National Shooting Sports Foundation. A protest and counter-protest were held outside the foundation’s offices Thursday. If it’s possible to determine a motive for the massacre, there may be clues in Adam Lanza’s journals, which state police seized from the house and turned over to the FBI for analysis. But authorities say that so far no conclusions have been reached. Sedensky estimated that the investigation will be finished this summer. At the Lanza house, investigators found books about autism and Asperger’s syndrome, as well as one with tabbed pages titled “Train Your Brain to Get Happy.” Adam Lanza was said to have been diagnosed with Asperger’s, an autism-like disorder that is not associated with violence. But the warrants also reveal an intense interest in weaponry and violence.

A CHILD stands in front of a portrait of former president Nelson Mandela in a Park in Soweto, South Africa, Thursday, March. Ninty-four-yearold Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa’s first black president, has been hit by a lung infection again and is in a hospital, the presidency said.
Mandela responds to treatment JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela was back in the hospital for the third time in four months Thursday, and the 94-year-old former South African president was reported to be responding well to treatment for a chronic lung infection. South Africa’s presidency said that doctors were acting with extreme caution because of the advanced age of the antiapartheid leader, who has become increasingly frail in recent years. The Nobel Peace Prize laureate was admitted just before midnight to a hospital in Pretoria, the South African capital. He has been particularly vulnerable to respiratory problems since contracting tuberculosis during his 27-year imprisonment for fighting white racist rule in his country. “The doctors advise that former President Nelson Mandela is responding positively to the treatment he is undergoing for a recurring lung infection,” the presidency said in a statement. “He remains under treatment and observation in hospital.” Mandela, who became South Africa’s first black president in 1994, is a revered figure in his homeland, which has named buildings and other places after him and uses his image on national bank notes. “I’m so sorry. I’m sad,” Obed Mokwana, a Johannesburg resident, said after hearing that Mandela was back in the hospital. “I just try to pray all the time. He must come very strong again.” In December, Mandela spent three weeks in a hospital in Pretoria, where he was treated for a lung infection and had a procedure to remove gallstones. Earlier this month, he was hospitalized overnight for what authorities said was a successful scheduled medical test. Presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj, referring to Mandela by his clan name “Madiba,” said the latest stay was not for previously planned treatment. “No, this wasn’t scheduled. As you will appreciate the doctors do work with a great sense of caution when they are treating Madiba and take into account his age,” he said. “And so when they found that this lung infection had reoccurred, they decided to have him immediately hospitalized so that he can receive the best treatment.” He said there had been a global outpouring of messages expressing concern for Mandela’s health.

Batter up! While the Cincinnati Reds were busy honing their skills in the cactus league, Alex Keller (left), 10, and his brother, Aiden, 6, constructed a snowy ball player, in the classic batter stance, in their yard in southern Shelby County recently. They colored his snow hat and player number red so we know whom he plays for! It’s a good thing outfielder Shin-Soo Choo wears the same number: this No. 17 may melt before he can join the team on opening day in the Great American Ball Park Monday. The boys are the sons of Terry and Christina Keller.

Ross talks baseball at SCARF starts drive for spare change Kiwanis meeting place in Elk City, Okla., which reminded him of Hussey’s Restaurant in Port Jefferson. Instead of feeding the ducks, one is able to feed elk, zebras and ostriches. As a final note, Ross talked about Buckeye Valley and specifically the town of Buckeye, Ariz. According to Ross, the town was actually founded by a former Sidney resident. It is located west of Phoenix. Malin Jackson originally named the town Sidney, after his home town in Ohio, but over time, the town became known as Buckeye. There is still, however, a street named Sidney. Prior to Ross’s remarks, President Phil Warnecke called the meeting to order. The invocation was given by Gary Carter and the group was lead in song by Ralph Bornhorst, accompanied by Don Tangeman on the piano. Ken Smith gave the lenten devotional. Heather Pollard led the Fun & Games activities which involved answering various trivia questions regarding the
Cincinnati Reds. Tickets for the annual Pancake Day, to be April 10, have been distributed.

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. The Sidney Kiwanis meets at noon every Wednesday at the Sidney Moose Lodge. This club is always looking for new members who want to serve their community. For information, call John Coffield at 7104944.
BY PATRICIA ANN SPEELMAN pspeelman@ civitasmedia.com Shelby The County Animal Rescue Foundation (SCARF) has announced that a fund for spare drive change will run through the month of April. Dimes for Dogs and Cats will provide support for ongoing SCARF’s funding of veterinary bills incurred by the Shelby County Animal Shelter. “Sheriff (John) Lenhart and Cami Frey do not want to put dogs down,” said Joe Laber, vice president of SCARF and music director at WMVR Hits 105.5 radio in Sidney. “(SCARF) just purchased 200 parvo and distemper shots, so every dog and cat that goes out (of the shelter) will have shots. That’s never been done before. It will keep our animal shelter healthier.” The drive will ask area residents to drop change into dog-house-shaped banks that will be on the counters of businesses from April 1 through April 30. “Change a pet’s life with your spare change” is the motto of the project. Laber said he hopes that businesses “hosting” banks will create

Dave Ross was the guest speaker at the March 21 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Sidney. Ross recently returned from his annual baseball spring training trip in Arizona. Besides covering the Reds, Ross also kept tabs on ballplayers with local ties, Jared Hoying, of Fort Loramie, a prospect in the Texas Rangers farm system, and Corey Luebke, of Osgood. Luebke is coming off arm surgery and has not pitched in spring training, Ross said. It looks as though Hoying may start off this year in AA ball in Frisco, Texas. He is hoping for a quick jump to the AAA club in Round Rock, Texas. Ross also talked about Craig Stammen, of Versailles, now pitching for the Washington Nationals. Last year at this time, Stammen was concerned about making the team. However, earlier this year, he signed a two-year contract and is firmly entrenched in the Nationals bullpen. Always on the lookout for a good place to eat, Ross said he stopped at a

According to a study conducted by the province of Alberta’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, marijuana use is more widespread among Canadian teens than tobacco. The commission questioned 3,394 students in grades 7 through 12 about substance use. Among the findings, 27 percent had smoked marijuana and 16 percent had smoked cigarettes. This study also found that older teens (in grades 10-12) were almost twice as likely to try marijuana than tobacco. The survey reported that 43 percent had smoked marijuana at least once over the course of a year, in contrast to the 24 percent who had puffed on a cigarette. Marijuana is no doubt more popular than cigarettes among Alberta teenagers because Canadian law regarding its use is far less severe than U.S. law.

BULLETIN BOARD
SMHA writes off debt During a recent Shelby Metropolitan Housing Authority Board of Commissioners meeting, Director Judy Wells reported new computer software has been implemented and is capable of tracking all areas of management. The board approved writing off 2012 bad debt totaling $18,882. Wells explained that uncollected rents were $5,183 and uncollected rehabilitation charges were $13,698. She added that any tenant who has left owing money is linked to a national housing website and other agencies would be alerted of the debt to be repaid or establish a repayment agreement before receiving any future assistance. Wells also reported that 157 Housing Choice Voucher applications are on file, with no vouchers currently being issued due to full occupancy. She also noted staff has completed almost all work orders. Wells also said the exterior doors at Jackson Towers have been converted to meet the Sidney Fire Department’s safety requirements.
Lockington council tables speed camera issue LOCKINGTON — Following a recent court decision in which a judge ruled a speed camera ordinance in a Hamilton County village was invalid, Lockington Village Council members voted Monday night to table similar legislation. Village Clerk Vanessa Petty said council members agreed they should wait until the legal issue is settled before proceeding with a proposed local ordinance. At last month’s meeting, council gave a second reading to an ordinance to install an automated system that would take photos of speeders in the village. Optotraffic, based in Lanham, Md., has proposed setting up a camera on Piqua-Lockington Road to take photos of speeders in the area. Police Chief Mike Myers would then review the photos and violators would be cited. A company representative from the Lebanon area met recently with council. Optotraffic would set up the system at no charge to the village and would keep a portion of speeding fines, Petty said. During Monday’s meeting council members also discussed needed street repairs. Petty said Mayor Jerry Keener with contact Solicitor Jeff Beigel about funds available for the work.

Lamb cake highlights family’s Easter BY LOLA E. BILLIEL MINSTER — For Lucille Berning, of Minster, the Easter season isn’t complete without a lamb cake. She estimates she has made 100 of them over the years, using a Wagner Ware cast iron mold her mother bought from the Sidney manufacturer more than 60 years ago. The 86-year-old Berning and the late Raymond Berning had two sons and a daughter. She now also has eight grandchildren and 11 greatgrandchildren. She currently resides at Heritage Manor. At one time Berning worked at the former Box Factory in Minster, at Copeland Corp. in Sidney and for a short time at the local bowling alley. She also worked at Coppess Bakery in Minster and ultimately retired from Wagner’s Supermarket in Minster at age 73. Berning’s mother had a home bakery in the village, and the kids sold and delivered the goods in a little wagon they pulled around town. Every Sunday Berning’s mother made a “hot milk” cake for the family, sometimes topping it with caramel or butternut frosting. Berning always baked for the family, usually cakes and pies. Lard was used in her recipes, especially when frying chicken. During a recent visit, a nephew, Rich Bauchman, volunteered that “food was always good when cooked by Aunt Lucille.” Despite holding down a job and raising three children, Berning found time to can produce from their garden. She even raised their own sugar cane, which they had processed at a local plant to be used in baking. Berning also found time to sew for her daughter and to crochet afghans, sweaters and baby sets. Even to this day, she crochets sweaters and at the time of her interview, she was wearing a pink sweater she had made. She was in the process of crocheting another sweater f o r her

She estimates she has made about 100 of them in her lifetime. roommate and this past Christmas crocheted more than 100 snowflakes to give to people at Heritage Manor. Berning said the iron lamb cake mold was passed down to her and has since been given to her son. She made the cakes for baptisms, first communions, graduations, as teacher gifts, and always for Easter Sunday. At Easter she would frost and decorate the cake and display it on a stand for all to enjoy. She always used the spice cake recipe that came with the mold from Wagner Ware and notes “everyone liked it.” Using the mold is quite a process, she said, but is obviously one she mastered over the years. The cake recipe follows. LAMB SPICE CAKE 1 1/2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup butter 2 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking soda a little salt 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg 2 1/2 cups flour 1 cup nuts, chopped 1 cup raisins 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 wooden skewer and and two toothpicks Coconut for frosting and candied cherry Cream sugar, butter, and eggs.

Fill face and ears of mold. (They must not have nuts or raisins in them.) Add the nuts and raisins chopped fine and floured, and the baking powder. Fill pan level, place toothpick in each ear and the skewer in the neck for support. Fit upper pan on and bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) for one hour or more until the upper pan comes off easily. Let cool in lower pan. ICING 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2/3 cup water Whites of two eggs Boil sugar and water until it threads.

Use raisins for eyes and pieces of candied cherry for the mouth and nose. Berning added that she ties a ribbon around the lamb’s
Wagner Cast Ware of Sidney was once a thriving business that produced many different iron and aluminum household products, including various molds. The lamb cake mold referred to in the accompanying article was made in the 1930s. Many Wagner products carried the name “Wagner Ware” on the bottom, along with “Sidney, Ohio.” While the company has gone out of business now, Wagner frying pans, pots, molds and numerous other items may be found at antique shops, auctions and flea markets. Many people collect Wager Ware. Many former Wagner employees still reside in the area. A competitor, the Griswold Company of Erie, Pa., also created molds, including those for lamb cakes. Their items may also be found at shops and markets. Both Wagner and Griswold products are frequently sold on the Internet. Various cake recipes for molds are also posted there. The Easter lamb cake had its beginnings as a traditional Eastern European dessert, brought to this country by Polish. Czech and Hungarian immigrants. The custom of making the lamb cake began more than 100 years ago. Typically the cake is in the shape of a lamb lying in repose, which symbolizes the Lamb of God, another name for Jesus Christ. Symbolically, the lamb stands as a saving sacrifice: “Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.” In the Christian belief, Jesus was sacrificed to save humanity and is called the “Lamb of God.” During the Middle Ages people would sacrifice lambs during the Easter vigil. Nowadays, the tradition takes the form of cakes made in the shape of a lamb. neck and sometimes a bell. She also noted that canned seven-minute icing (fluffy white) works quite well if you don’t want to make a boiled icing.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, March 30, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a social day. Enjoy schmoozing with partners and close friends. However, avoid making important decisions and commitments. Don’t volunteer for anything. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Work quietly at your own pace, preferably alone or behind the scenes. It’s a good day to seek out some peace and quiet. Avoid important decisions. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll enjoy schmoozing with others today, especially in group situations (classes, casual coffee klatches, meetings or large conferences). However, don’t agree to anything important. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in the limelight now, especially in the eyes of bosses, parents and teachers. They’re impressed with you. Nevertheless, don’t volunteer for anything or agree to important decisions. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You want a change of scenery, which is why you feel restless today. You want adventure and something different to happen. That’s fine, but be cautious about making spontaneous decisions. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) This is a poor day to decide how to share or divide anything important. Avoid final arrangements about inheritances, shared property and such. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You need to get more sleep. Right now, the Sun is as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy. (Go to bed.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Despite your desire to be more efficient and effective right now (which is a good thing), today it’s tough. Lower your expectations. Postpone important decisions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) This is a wildly, wonderfully creative day! You’re in touch with your muse, and you’re thinking outside of the box. Don’t spend money on anything other than personal food. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Family discussions will be warm and friendly today; however, don’t agree to anything important, because you will simply have to change or backpedal. Keep things light. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your imagination is strong today, and you’re tuned to creative, intuitive ideas. Just write them down and see how they look tomorrow. They might fly, but they might not. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You’re focused on money, cash flow and earnings now. This is a good thing except for today, which is a very fuzzy, hazy day. Avoid shopping or making important decisions. Don’t spend money on anything except on personal food. YOU BORN TODAY You are a visionary with driving energy. Many of you are multitalented and can succeed in different careers. You are intense and demanding of yourself and others. Ideally, you need the freedom to pursue your own interests. You have high energy, which is often a lot for others to deal with. In your year ahead, an important choice will arise. Choose wisely. Birthdate of: Eric Clapton, guitarist; Vincent van Gogh, painter; Norah Jones, singer. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

I have seen the opposite problem, too — people exercising in the heat and drinking too much water, which can cause the salt level in the blood to drop dangerously low. It’s a real danger for endurance events like marathon running. Athletes learn to balance their input and output (recognizing that sweat is a major output when exercising in heat) and to have some salt in their rehydration fluids.

I wrong to agree to having don’t want to rush into sex with him — someanything. We are both thing we both want — virgins (he does have even if I don’t know if more experience), and we’re ready for the next while I have known him step? — UNSURE IN for a long time, I don’t CANADA know him as well as I’d DEAR UNSURE: Yes, like. it would be wrong.

should be because you are 100 percent sure you are ready, and he is the right person. If that’s not the case, you will be cheating yourself. And as for feeling guilty because you are leaving him frustrated — I have a solution. Socialize with him in group settings and spend less time alone together. That way there will be less frustration for him and less temptation for both of you. DEAR ABBY: I am a single mother raising a 15-year-old son. For most of his life it has just been the two of us. I now regret that I put him in bed with me when he was a baby. As he grew older, I encouraged him to sleep in his own bed, but it would last only a few nights, and then he would sneak
back into my room. I was married for three years when he was around 11, and he’d sneak into my husband’s and my bedroom after we were asleep and sleep on a couch in there. His problem is he is terrified of the dark and believes in ghosts, monsters, etc. He says he has a phobia and I believe him. I tried getting a dog for him to sleep with and night-lights, but nothing worked. If I lock him out, he lays awake all night, scared to death. I kept thinking he would grow out of this, but he hasn’t. Please help. I can’t really afford therapy, but if you think he needs it, I will try. — TROUBLED IN ARIZONA DEAR TROUBLED: Some sessions with a psy-
chologist who specializes in phobias would be the quickest way to help your son overcome his problem. And when you consult with one, I am sure the therapist will recommend that your son stay away from violent video games, and movies or television shows that feature ghosts, monsters or anything else that goes “bump” in the dark because they could only increase his fears. DEAR ABBY: I’m different from other girls. I don’t wear girly clothes. I prefer dark clothes and makeup. My mom thinks I’m strange because I dress differently. Do you think I look like a freak for not conforming, or is there nothing wrong with being different? — DIFFERENT IN WASHINGTON
DEAR DIFFERENT: I would never call you a “freak” because of your attire. It is common for young people to express their individuality by their dress, hairstyle and makeup. There is, however, a point when a person’s style choices can be limiting. My question for you would be, “Are you getting the kind of attention you WANT from presenting yourself this way?” The answer should determine how you choose to dress. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

CAUTION Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees). The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount. While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks. Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable. If you have questions regarding scams like these or others, please contact the Ohio Attorney General’s office at (800)282-0515.

Bucks advance to Elite 8 Ross’ late three beats Arizona LOS ANGELES (AP) — LaQuinton Ross hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 2 seconds to play, and Ohio State advanced to the brink of its second straight Final Four appearance with a 73-70 victory over Arizona on Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals. Ross, the Buckeyes’ remarkable reserve, scored 14 of his 17 points in the second half for the second-seeded Buckeyes (29-7), who rallied from an early 11-point deficit and weathered the sixthseeded Wildcats’ late charge for their 11th consecutive victory since mid-February. Deshaun Thomas scored 20 points for Ohio State, and Aaron Craft added 13 before ceding the Buckeyes’ final shot to Ross. Craft hit an awfully similar 3-pointer against Iowa State last Sunday to send the Buckeyes forward. Mark Lyons’ acrobatic three-point play for the Wildcats (27-8) had tied it with 21.8 seconds left. Craft dribbled down the clock and gave it to Ross, who coolly drilled his second 3pointer and set off a wild celebration in the Ohio State section of the Arizona-dominated crowd. On Saturday, Ohio State will face the winner of the late game between underdogs Wichita State and La Salle. As the only top-eight seed left in the West, the Buckeyes will be Atlantabound with one more win. Sam Thompson added 11 points for the Buckeyes, who trailed for nearly the entire first half before pushing ahead and nursing a small lead throughout the final minutes. Lyons scored 23 points including his gutsy three-point play for the Wildcats, who rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half before falling just short of their second

OHIO STATE'S Aaron Craft (4) drives for the basket against OHIO STATE’S Lenzelle Smith, Jr., scores against Arizona durArizona center Kaleb Tarczewski, right, during the second half ing the second half of a West Regional semifinal in the NCAA of a West Regional semifinal Thursday in Los Angeles. college basketball tournament Thursday in Los Angeles. NCAA regional final in four years. Solomon Hill added 16 points in his native Los Angeles, but the rest of Arizona combined for just 31 points on 10-for-29 shooting. After Arizona jumped out to that early 11-point lead, Ohio State gathered its game and mounted a 33-13 surge spanning halftime, taking a 53-43 lead with 11 minutes left. The Wildcats finally answered, but Ross kept the Buckeyes in front with nine consecutive points down the stretch. Craft became a tournament hero last Sunday against Iowa
State, hitting a last-second 3pointer and drawing a questionable charge moments earlier in the Buckeyes’ 78-75 win. Ross had his turn in the spotlight at Staples Center, and he didn’t flinch. The game was the second NCAA tournament meeting between Ohio State coach Thad Matta and Arizona’s Sean Miller, whose friendship goes back two decades to their time together at Miami of Ohio and Xavier. Despite losing to UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals to cap an inconsistent stretch of play, Arizona got a
No. 6 seed and blew out Belmont and Harvard in the NCAA tournament’s first weekend, reaching the regional semifinals for the 15th time. Ohio State hasn’t lost since Feb. 17, beating Indiana on the road before winning the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes had much more trouble than Arizona in their first two NCAA games, but they’re showing a knack for last-minute heroics at the perfect time. Arizona took the lead on its first basket, a 3-pointer from Lyons in the opening minute,
and held it throughout a slowmoving first half featuring 19 fouls. With superior ball movement and scoring balance, the Wildcats eventually pushed the margin to 31-20 on Nick Johnson’s 3-pointer with 7 minutes left in the half. Ohio State finally awoke when Craft returned to the game after sitting early with two fouls, trimming the margin to 38-34 by halftime. The Buckeyes finished the half on a 14-7 run capped by the second 3-pointer from Thomas, who scored 16 of their 34 firsthalf points with his steady allaround game.
Royals beat Reds for 24th spring win GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — If winning exhibition games means anything, Ervin Santana and the Kansas City Royals are ready for big things this season. Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez hit home runs off Matt Latos in Kansas City’s fiverun third inning, and the Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-3 on Thursday. It was the Royals major league-best 24th spring victory. Santana pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the second by getting Joey Votto to bounce to the mound to start a 1-2-3 double play. The righthander allowed two runs and seven hits with a walk in four innings. “We are ready to rumble. I just have to wait for my turn,” Santana said. “I am really excited about my performance. I have to keep throwing strikes and working hard. Everyone is very excited. There is no pressure at all.” Santana, came over from the Angels to become part of the Royals’ revamped starting rotation. Santana joins Wade Davis and James Shields as the newcomers. Holdovers Jeremy Guthrie and Luis Mendoza round out the starting five. The Royals are excited with the spring and its prospects for the season. “It’s been a great spring,” said centerfielder Lorenzo Cain, who chipped in with a run scoring triple. “I don’t think there could be anything better than the spring we had. We have to get it done when
the season starts but it builds our confidence knowing that we can play with everyone.” Gordon’s homer was his seventh of the spring, and Perez — who also doubled — hit his second, a three-run shot. Votto and Royals first baseman Billy Butler collided as Votto rounded first after hitting a ball off Ervin Santana into the left-field corner to drive in a run in the first inning. Votto was awarded second base as both men fell to the ground. “There has to be a stopping point. I’m basically letting him go by so I can trail him,” Butler said. “I’m not trying, nor do I ever try to get in his way. It is always the defender that gets the obstruction. The rule says the baserunner creates his own base path but it’s got to stop somewhere.” Latos finished the third then left the game, allowing five runs and nine hits with five strikeouts. The Reds right-hander was hit on the foot in his last start. His foot was fine but he was not feeling well. “Latos was fine,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “Before the game he was coughing. He had to get his work in. He didn’t throw the ball bad.” Shin-Soo Choo and Brandon Phillips singled off Santana to start the game in front of Votto’s tangled-up double. Ryan Hanigan doubled and scored on a single by Latos. The Reds loaded the bases but Santana got Votto to hit a one-

The Reds squandered other chances and didn’t score until minor leaguer Bryson Smith homered off Dan Wheeler in the ninth. “We should have had eight runs,” Baker said. “We left second and third twice, bases loaded. We had a lot of opportunities to break that game open. It’s got to get better
picking up those runs. It’s frustrating sometimes.” NOTES: LHP Manny Parra, who signed as a free agent with the Reds in January, is trying to make the team as its third left-hander. Parra allowed three runs on five hits in two innings. He has a 5.28 ERA for the spring. ... RHP J.J. Hoover has 18 strikeouts in nine innings, while walking two. ... Minor league RHP Loek Van Mil ap-
peared in the game for the Reds. The 28-year old native of the Netherlands is 7-foot-1 and is the tallest player in professional baseball. ... INF Cesar Izturis, trying to win a spot as a reserve with the Reds, singled in two trips. The veteran is hitting .340 for the spring. ... C Miguel Olivo was released from his minorleague contract by the Reds and he subsequently agreed to terms with Miami.

QB Campbell eager for fresh start with Browns CLEVELAND (AP) — Jason Campbell is more interested in getting off to a fresh start with his new team r a t h e r than worry a b o u t where he Campbell might fit on the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback depth chart with Brandon Weeden. “There’s nothing that’s been promised or has been said or written. But I’m going to come in and help the best way I possibly can,” Campbell said during a telephone conference call Thursday. “I’m not going to really get caught up in the speculation that might be going on.” The speculation might be tough to avoid, given that the rebuilding Browns signed the eightyear veteran to a twoyear contract this week to compete with Weeden,
who is coming off an uneven rookie season. And make no mistake, Campbell’s confident he still has what it takes to be an NFL starter. “Yeah, I still believe I can still play that position,” he said. 32-year-old The Campbell has 71 career starts split between Washington, Oakland and Chicago. And the Redskins’ 2005 firstround draft pick feels resome 16 juvenated months since being sidelined by a broken collarbone. “Last year, I spent most of my offseason rehabbing, getting my shoulder back right,” said Campbell, who spent last season with Chicago. “Having a full year and a full offseason to get back to feeling good and feeling normal, I definitely feel like I still can play at a high level.” It wasn’t lost on Campbell that the injury occurred in a game
against the Browns. “I know, how ironic is that,” Campbell asked. “That’s something I thought about when I signed.” The injury was the latest setback to what’s been an inconsistent career. It happened in his second season with Oakland, and after he helped the Raiders get off to a 5-2 start. With Campbell sidelined for the rest of the season, he eventually became expendable after Oakland acquired Carson Palmer. “It was tough because you felt like something was kind of taken from you a little bit,” Campbell said. “The only thing you can do about it is keep moving forward. You can’t let it get you down.” Campbell’s latest fresh start comes with a team that’s also in transition. Rob Chudzinski takes over as coach after spending the past
