Bombing suspects planned to attack Times Square NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Marathon bombers were headed for New York’s Times Square to blow up the rest of their explosives, authorities said Thursday, in what they portrayed as a chilling,
spur-of-the-moment scheme that fell apart when the brothers realized the car they had hijacked was low on gas. “New York City was next on their list of targets,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told inter-
rogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother decided on the spot last Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack. In their stolen SUV they had five pipe bombs and a pressure-cooker explosive like the ones that blew up at the marathon, Kelly said.

PRESIDENT BARACK Obama, and former presidents (from second from left) George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter arrive for the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Center Thursday in Dallas.
Politics on hold at Bush library dedication BY JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press DALLAS (AP) — George W. Bush shed a sentimental tear. Barack Obama mused about the burdens of the office. Bill Clinton dished out wisecracks. Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush chimed in, too, on a rare day of harmony at the dedication of the younger Bush’s presidential library that glossed over the hard edges and partisan divides of five presidencies spanning more than three tumultuous decades. “To know the man is to like the man,” Obama declared of his Republican predecessor, speaking Thursday before a crowd of 10,000 at an event
that had the feel of a class reunion for the partisans who had powered the Bush administration from 2001 to 2009. Dick Cheney was there in a white cowboy hat. Condoleezza Rice gave shout-outs to visiting dignitaries. Colin Powell and Karl Rove were prominent faces in the crowd. On this day, there was no mention of Iraq or Afghanistan, the wars that dominated Bush’s presidency and so divided the nation. There were only gentle references to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. And praise aplenty for the resolve that Bush showed in responding to the 9/11 terror attacks. Clinton joked that the dedication of the George W. Bush
MaJessa Kinninger, 10, daughter of Jesse Kinninger, of Sidney, and Ashley Sylwestrak, of Dayton, will appear on “Fox 45 in the Morning” on the local Fox network on Monday at 8:45 a.m. The program airs locally on Time Warner Cable channel 8. Hilary Zalla hosts a segment on
the program called “Cool Schools,” in which she profiles schools and students in the Miami Valley doing “cool” and positive things. MaJessa was chosen to appear because she wrote a poem about the Boston bombing that she will recite on the air. She is in the fifth-grade at St. Anthony Catholic School in Dayton.

Presidential Center was “the latest, grandest example of the eternal struggle of former presidents to rewrite history.” But he also praised Bush for including interactive exhibits at the center that invite visitors to make their own choices on major decisions that he faced. Bush, 66, made indirect reference to the polarizing decision points of his presidency, drawing a knowing laugh as he told the crowd: “One of the benefits of freedom is that people can disagree. It’s fair to say I created plenty of opportunities to exercise that right.” He said he was guided throughout his presidency by See BUSH/Page 8

Healthy Kids Day set for Saturday The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA will host its annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day Saturday from 9 to noon. The YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day — the nation’s largest health day for families, is sponsored by The Medicine Shoppe, Wilson Memorial Hospital and the SidneyShelby County YMCA. This free community event features activities such as a bounce house, face painting, health screenings and displays from local health care providers for children, in addition to healthy snacks, health and fitness information for children and numerous craft projects. The Sidney Fire Department truck will be making an appearance from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and the city of Sidney Police K-9 unit will hold a demonstration. Wilson Memorial Hospital will host a Sports Medicine booth. Ron and Nita’s will display children shoes and donate a free pair of shoes to a raffle winner. Minster Bank will give out information regarding savings accounts for children and host an activity. Big Brothers/Big Sisters of and Darke Shelby County, Paper Alice, Shelby Soil and Water Conservation District, Agape’, Amos Memorial Library, Ross Historical Society, Rolling Hills Skate and The American
Red Cross will all offer fun games, crafts and activities and give away goodies for the children. Western Life Insurance will offer free fingerprinting for all children. “At the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA we know that parents struggle to find the time to incorporate more active play and healthier habits into their kids’ daily routine,” said Ed Thomas, executive director, Sidney-Shelby County YMCA. “Doing so doesn’t have to require extra money or resources. It’s as simple as making a play date with your kids, with two key requirements – be active and have fun!” Helping families incorporate healthier habits in the home has never been more critical. The YMCA’s Family Health Snapshot, which surveyed more than 1,600 parents of children ages 5 to 10, found that the economy has created financial challenges and time constraints, making it difficult for many families to carve out time for physical activity and to provide a healthy home environment. As part of Healthy Kids Day, the Y encourages families to make play dates everyday as a simple way to become healthier, more active and connected. The Sidney-Shelby County The YMCA recommends five simple activities families can do to
play together: • Schedule a Game Night: Play games with the kids that incorporate physical activity, such as Charades. • Dance, Dance: Turn on your favorite party music and dance! Make this activity more fun with a dance contest. • Go Riding: Find a new bike path or park for a fun afternoon outdoors; grab your helmets and go rollerblading or bike riding. • Channel Your Inner Youth: Remember playing hopscotch, jump rope, Simon Says or freeze tag as a kid? Teach your favorite childhood game to your kid(s) and play them together. • Play Outside: Visit your neighborhood park or camp out in your backyard for some outdoor fun. Get everyone moving with fun sports like soccer, basketball or baseball. As a leading nonprofit for Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility, the Sidney-Shelby County YMCA is committed to improving the health and well-being of all Shelby County residents and helping families achieve healthy living goals.

Q&A on Medicaid expansion in Ohio TOLEDO (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s plan for expanding Medicaid under the new federal health care law and giving more low-income Ohioans access to health insurance might not be dead, but whatever comes next will have a much different look. Republicans who control the state legislature are taking the Medicaid expansion out of the governor’s budget and want to come up with their own plan. They’re insisting that any proposal must control the costs of what is the largest health insurer in the state. Some questions and answers on what that type of changes are ahead and whether Medicaid expansion will happen at all. Q: Why is the governor’s proposal meeting resistance? A: There are quite a few reasons. Many Republicans are philosophically against the idea of
increased spending on programs government and opposed to President Barack Obama’s health care law that calls for mandated health coverage. They also don’t trust the federal government’s promise to pay for the bulk of the expansion and worry that states will get stuck with a huge bill in a few years. Another concern is the rising cost of Medicaid, which eats up more state and federal government spending than Ohio’s public schools and universities combined. Q: Is there political pressure on Republicans to reject the expansion? A: A lot of Republicans campaigned against Obama’s health care law and don’t want to be seen as supporting it now by backing Medicaid expansion, which is one of the key elements of the Affordable Care Act. Conservative groups opposing the health care law have been warning Republican
lawmakers that they would face challengers in the next primary election if they went along with the Medicaid proposal. That’s a big concern for some. Q: So what do they do next? A: Republican leaders in both the Ohio House and Senate say they’ll begin crafting their own Medicaid plan along with help from the governor’s administration. They say there are too many questions and more time may be needed to come up a solution. They also insist that cost savings must be part of the proposal. Q: What will this new
through an insurance exchange developed under Obama’s health care law. Q: Why do it that way instead of expanding Medicaid? A: Republicans who are adamantly opposed to the Affordable Care Act may find it more acceptable to subsidize the purchase of private insurance for low-income residents rather than adding them to the state’s Medicaid rolls. Q: Can Ohio do that on its own? A: No, federal officials must approve any changes. Q: Will Republicans support an alterna-

COLUMBUS — Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel announced interest rate reductions offered through the State Treasury’s 2013 Agricultural Linked Deposit (Ag-LINK) Program. This year more than 592 farms in 56 counties were approved to receive interest rate reductions on $61.6 million in operating loans and lines of credit. “Agriculture is a major part of the economic backbone of Ohio’s economy,” said Treasurer Mandel. “As one of our state’s most essential industries, it is important that farmers are given the tools to help them produce a successful harvest. The AgLINK program helps farmers reduce the burden of their annual operating costs so that they can invest in things like feed, seed, fertilizer and fuel at the beginning of the season.” Ag-LINK, an annual program that has been in existence for 29 years, allows Ohio farmers to apply for interest rate reductions on operating loans or lines of credit up to $150,000. Applications to enroll in the program were accepted from January through March of this year. In order to become eligible for the Ag-LINK program, applicants must meet the following criteria: • Must be organized for profit; • Must have headquarters and 51 percent of operations maintained in Ohio; • Must obtain an operating loan or line of credit from an eligible bank or Farm Credit Lender; • Must use the loan exclusively for agricultural purposes; • Must agree to comply with all program and bank regulations. • View a breakdown of 2013 Ag-LINK interest rate reductions offered by region and county. After a farmer and their lender successfully completes the application, the Ohio Treasurer’s office places an investment with the participating financial institution for one year. This one year investment then allows the lender to lower the interest rate on the farmer’s loan. In nearly 30 years of existence, Ag-LINK has allowed over 40,000 farmers to receive reduced-rate financing on more than $2.9 billion in operating loans or lines of credit. For more information on the Ag-LINK program visit www.ohiotreasurer.gov/aglink.
tive plan? A: There’s clearly at least a willingness to consider the idea. House lawmakers agreed to continue discussing the Medicaid issue even after stripping expansion from their version of the state budget. Ohio Senate President Keith Faber said this week that he thinks the path to Medicaid includes one that covers people who need health care it in the short term and reduces costs in the long term. Still, the governor may need the help of Democrats to get more people health care into a taxpayer-funded health insurance program.

A: Knowing that Medicaid expansion would be a tough sell, the Kasich administration has been in talks with federal officials for months about whether the health care law allows any flexibility to use the money from Washington to provide private coverage to some who would eligible under the Medicaid expansion. One thought is to use the federal money to buy private insurance for low-income residents. Another possibility is using Medicaid expansion money to allow those who earn just above the poverty level to instead buy into health plans

Obama consoles families, survivors
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WACO, Texas (AP) — President Barack Obama consoled a rural Texas community rocked by a deadly fertilizer plant explosion, telling mourners Thursday they are not alone in their grief and they will have the nation’s support to rebuild from the devastation. “This small town’s family is bigger now,” Obama said during a memorial service at Baylor University for victims of last week’s explosion in nearby West, Texas, that killed 14 and injured 200. Nearly 10,000 gathered to remember the first responders killed in the blast, a crowd more than triple the size of West’s entire population of 2,700. “To the families, the neighbors grappling with unbearable loss, we are here to say you are not alone. You are not forgotten,” Obama said to applause. “We may not all live here in Texas, but we’re neighbors too. We’re Americans too, and we stand with you.” The April 17 explosion left a crater more than 90 feet wide and damaged dozens of buildings, displacing many residents from their homes. The Insurance Council of Texas estimates it caused more than $100 million in damage, and crews were sifting the rubble to search for clues to what caused the explosion or whether foul play was involved. The blast came about 20 minutes after a fire was reported at West Fertilizer. Ten of those killed were first re-
Today is Friday, April 26, the 116th day of 2013. There are 249 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 26, 1865, John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln, was surrounded by federal troops near Port Royal, Va., and killed. (Just before dying, Booth looked at his hands and gasped, “Useless, useless.”) On this date: • In 1607, English colonists went ashore at present-day Cape Henry, Va., on an expedition to establish the first permanent English settlement in the Western Hemisphere. • In 1785, American naturalist, hunter and artist John James Audubon was born in present-day Haiti. • In 1913, Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old worker at a Georgia pencil factory, was strangled; Leo Frank, the factory superintendent, was convicted of her murder and sentenced to death. (Frank’s death sentence was commuted, but he was lynched by an antiSemitic mob in 1915.) • In 1923, Britain’s Prince Albert, Duke of York (the future King George VI), married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon at Westminster Abbey. • In 1933, Nazi Germany’s infamous secret police, the Gestapo, was created. • In 1937, German and Italian warplanes raided the Basque town of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War; estimates of the number of people killed vary from the hundreds to the thousands. • In 1945, Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, the head of France’s Vichy government during World War II, was arrested. • In 1952, the destroyerminesweeper USS Hobson sank in the central Atlantic after colliding with the aircraft carrier USS Wasp with the loss of 176 crew members. • In 1968, the United States exploded beneath the Nevada desert a 1.3 megaton nuclear device called “Boxcar.” • In 1973, the Chicago Board Options Exchange held its first day of trading. • In 1986, a major nuclear accident occurred at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). • In 1993, Conan O’Brien was named to succeed David Letterman as host of NBC’s “Late Night” program.
OUT OF THE BLUE
Egg sells for $101,813 LONDON (AP) - A massive, partly fossilized egg laid by a now-extinct elephant bird has sold for more than double its estimate at a London auction. Christie's auction house said Wednesday that the foot-long, nearly nineinches in diameter egg fetched 66,675 pounds ($101,813). It had been valued at 20,000 to 30,000 pounds pre-sale, and was sold to an anonymous buyer over the telephone after about 10 minutes of competitive bidding. Elephant birds were wiped out several hundred years ago. The oversized ovum, laid on the island of Madagascar, is believed to date back before the 17th century. Flightless, fruit-gobbling elephant birds resembled giant ostriches and could grow to be 11 feet high (3.4 meters). Christie's says their eggs are 100 times the size of an average chicken's.

Israel shoots down drone JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel shot down a drone Thursday as it approached its northern coast from neighboring Lebanon, raising suspicions that the Hezbollah militant group was behind the infiltration attempt. Hezbollah denied involvement, but the incident was likely to heighten Israeli concerns that the Shiite militant group is trying to take advantage of the unrest in neighboring Syria to strengthen its capabilities. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in a helicopter in northern Israel at the time of the incident, said he viewed it with “utmost gravity.” Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner said the unmanned aircraft was detected as it was flying over Lebanon and tracked as it approached Israeli airspace. He said the military waited for the aircraft to enter Israeli airspace, confirmed it was “enemy,” and then an F-16 warplane shot it down,
smashing its wreckage into the sea about five miles (eight kilometers) off the northern port of Haifa. Lerner said Israeli naval forces were searching for the remains of the aircraft. He said it still was not clear who sent the drone, noting it flew over Lebanese airspace, but that it could have originated from somewhere else. Other military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to talk to the media, said they believed it was an Iranian-manufactured aircraft sent by Hezbollah. The Lebanese group sent a drone into Israeli airspace last October that Israel also shot down. Officials said Netanyahu was informed of the unfolding incident as he was flying north for a cultural event with members of the country’s Druse minority. They said his helicopter briefly landed while the drone was intercepted then continued on its way.
U.S.: chemical weapons used WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House declared Thursday that U.S. intelligence indicates Syrian President Bashar Assad has twice used deadly chemical weapons in his country’s fierce civil war, a provocative action that would cross President Barack Obama’s “red line” for a significant military response. But the administration said the revelation won’t immediately change its stance on intervening.
The information, which has been known to the administration and some members of Congress for weeks, isn’t solid enough to warrant quick U.S. involvement in the 2-year-old conflict, the White House said. Officials said the assessments were made with “varying degrees of confidence” given the difficulty of information gathering in Syria, though there appeared to be little question within the intelligence community.
glimmering like stars in the dimly lit room. The president spoke for 16 minutes, quoting scripture and lauding the men whose flag-draped coffins laid before him. “When you got to the scene, you forgot fear and you fought that blaze as hard as you could, knowing the danger,” Obama said. The service opened with a photo slideshow set to country music and projected onto a movie screen. It showed images of the men from their childhood, their weddings and other moments throughout
Workers pinned in rubble cry for rescue SAVAR, Bangladesh (AP) — “Save us, brother. I beg you, brother,” Mohammad Altab moaned to the rescuers who could not help him. He had been trapped for more than 24 hours, pinned between slabs of concrete in the ruins of the garment factory building where he worked. “I want to live,” he pleaded, his eyes glistening with tears as he spoke of his two young children. “It’s so painful here.” Altab should not have been in the building when it collapsed Wednesday, killing at least 238 people. No one should have. After seeing deep cracks in the walls of the building on Tuesday, police had ordered it evacuated. But officials at the garment factories operating inside ignored the order and kept more than 2,000 people working, authorities said. The disaster in Savar, an industrial suburb of Dhaka, the capital city, is the worst ever for Bangladesh’s booming and powerful garment industry, surpassing a fire five months ago that killed 112 people and brought widespread pledges to improve the country’s worker-safety standards. Instead, very little has changed in Bangladesh, where wages, among the lowest in the world, have made it a magnet for numerous global brands. Companies operating in the collapsed building say their customers included retail giants such as WalMart, Dress Barn and Britain’s Primark. On Thursday, hundreds of rescuers, some crawling through the maze of rubble in search of survivors and corpses, spent a second day working amid the cries of the trapped and the wails of workers’ relatives gathered outside the Rana Plaza building, which housed numerous garment factories and a handful of other companies. Rescuers on Thursday evening found 40 survivors trapped in a room on the fourth floor. Twelve were soon freed, and crews worked to get the others out safely, said Brig. Gen. Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder, who is overseeing rescue operations. Crowds at the scene burst into applause as survivors were brought out, although no other details were immediately available. An Associated Press cameraman who went into the rubble Thursday morning with rescue workers spoke briefly to Atlab, the man who pleaded to be saved. But the team was unable to free Atlab, who was trapped next to two corpses. From deep inside the rubble, another survivor could be heard weeping as he called for help. “We want to live, brother! It’s hard to remain alive here. It would have been better to die than enduring such pain to live on. We want to live! Please save us,” the man cried. It was not immediately clear if he or Atlab were among those later rescued.
TARGET Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead. “We don’t know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston,” the mayor said. “We’re just thankful that we didn’t have to find out that answer.” The news caused New Yorkers to shudder with the thought that the city may have narrowly escaped another terrorist attack, though whether the brothers could have made it to the city is an open question. They were two of the mostwanted men in the world, their faces splashed all over the Internet and TV in surveillancecamera images released by the FBI hours earlier. Dzhokhar, 19, is charged with carrying out the Boston
lives filled with children and friends. Mourners were given programs with full-page profiles of each of the victims, describing their lives, their values and their faith. Both the president and first lady Michelle Obama wiped away a tear as bagpipes sounded “Amazing Grace.” “How does one find such love to be willing to lay down your life so that others may live?” asked Texas Sen. John Cornyn, speaking on behalf of the state’s congressional delegation.
From Page 1 Marathon bombing April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 260, and he could get the death penalty. Christina DiIorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz in Boston, would not comment on whether authorities plan to add charges based on the alleged plot to attack New York. The Middlesex County district attorney’s office also is building a murder case against the surviving Tsarnaev for the death of MIT police officer Sean Collier three days after the bombings, office spokeswoman Stephanie Guyotte said. Investigators and lawmakers briefed by the FBI have said the Tsarnaev brothers — ethnic Chechens from Russia who
had lived in the U.S. for about a decade — were motivated by anger over the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Based on the younger man’s interrogation and other evidence, authorities have said it appears so far that the brothers were radicalized via Islamic jihadi material on the Internet instead of any direct contact with terrorist organizations, but they warned that it is still not certain. Dzhokhar was interrogated in his hospital room Sunday and Monday over a period of 16 hours without being read his rights to remain silent and have an attorney present. He immediately stopped talking after a magistrate judge and a representative from the U.S.
Attorney’s office entered the room and gave him his Miranda warning, according to a U.S. law enforcement official and others briefed on the interrogation. Kelly and the mayor said they were briefed on the New York plot on Wednesday night by the task force investigating the Boston bombing. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said in a CNN interview that the city should have been told earlier. “Even though this may or may not have been spontaneous, for all we know there could be other conspirators out there, and the city should have been alerted so it could go into its defensive mode,” he said.

Joe grilled some of the side pork from our hogs and we really like it. How thankful we are to have such a wide variety of meat in the freezer. God has been good to us in so many ways. Do we thank him enough for our blessings? Minnie’s little foal is doing well and it is as lively as ever. In my last letter I said it was a filly, but it is not; it is a colt. The children called him Prancer. He prances around a lot, which is why they decided on that name. Some of the children wanted to call him Bambi or Curious George. Curious George because he is curious and sticks his nose in the chicken fence until one of the chickens pecks at his nose. Our horses, Ginger and Itty Bit, will both have foals this spring, too. It is always exciting to have newborn foals on the farm. The horses’ foals will be a lot bigger than Prancer. Prancer is very small and the boys can pick him up and carry him. He looks so cute and
tries to run away from the children when they try to put him back in the field. We have a battery-operated fence charger to keep the horses in. If we wouldn’t, he could get out very easily.

iron was too hot to pack, and I was rushed for time. The thought of my oven mitt came to mind. It worked perfectly, allowing the curling iron to remain in the open position so it could cool off, but it was safe to handle and put in my tote bag. Even at home, I put the curling iron in an oven mitt before putting it in the drawer, which prevents the possibility of it’s melting other cords, etc. I also use the mitt on my countertop to rest the curling iron on as it warms up. — J.M. via tablet computer J.M., this is a great travel hint that has been printed many times before. — Heloise)

So do not distract the guide dog. • Do not feed or offer the guide dog food or treats. Guide dogs are fed on a schedule that is strictly maintained.

The School Readiness Program, beginning June 17, is a six-week readiness program for children 4 to 6 who are preparing to enter kindergarten and may be experiencing delays in their cognitive, social, or verbal development. The program helps develop the neurological, sensory, auditory and visual skills a child needs to be successful in an academic setting. The cost of the program is $250. The Summer Boost-Up Program, also beginning June 17 is a six-week program designed for children 6 to 12 who may be struggling in academics, coordination, self-esteem or who just need a little extra help during the summer. It focuses on four critical areas for achieving academic success: neurological motor functioning, visual skills, social skills, and academic reinforcement. Students work in small groups on enhancing their skills in each of these areas. The cost is $325. The Summer Reading and Math Tutoring Program begins July 1 and continues through July 25. The program is designed to provide individualized reading and math tutoring for students who are working academically on a first- through eighthgrade level. Classes are 30 minutes long and meet twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays or on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Morning and afternoon sessions are available. The cost for the four-week reading and math tutorial is $160. The summer tutors for this program are all Nicholas School Teachers and are certified by the state of Ohio.

Student places in speech conest BOTKINS — Lindsey Schneider, a junior at Botkins High School, earned third place at the district Rotary Four-Way Speech Contest at Wittenberg University on April 7. Students from 27 high schools participated in this event, designed to allow students the opportunity to develop and hone public speaking skills. The speeches centered around the Rotary four-way test, which is a world-wide moral code used by Rotarians that can be tested in personal and business relationships. The test asks four questions: 1) Is it (the topic) the truth? 2) Is it fair to all concerned? 3) Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Students participating in the speech contest used these questions to define their speeches and their feelings toward the topics they chose. Schneider’s speech, titled “Strength in Education,” discussed the benefits of career and technical education courses in the high school curriculum. Schneider earned the right to compete at the district level after placing first at the Sidney Rotary Club’s annual speech contest. She is the daughter of Tim and Marlaine Schneider.

FIRST LADY Michelle Obama (left) stands with (from second from left) former first ladies Laura Bush, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barbara Bush and Rosalynn Carter; at the dedication of the George W. Bush presidential library on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Thursday.
BUSH a determination “to expand the reach of freedom.” “It wasn’t always easy, and it certainly wasn’t always popular.” It was a day for family and sentimentality, Bush choking up with emotion at the conclusion of his remarks. The 43rd president singled out his 88-yearold father, another expresident, to tell him: “41, it is awesome that you are here today.” The elder Bush, wearing jaunty pink socks, spoke for less than a minute from his wheelchair, then turned to his son and quipped, “Too long?” He has a form of Parkinson’s disease and has been hospitalized recently for bronchitis. Just as the public tends to view presidents more kindly once they’ve left office, ex-presidents, too, tend to soften their judgments — or at least their public comments — with time. Obama once excoriated Bush for his “failed policies” and “disastrous” handling of the economy, for expanding budget deficits, and for drawing the nation into war in Iraq. On Thursday, he took a detour around those matters and instead praised Bush for his strength after 9/11, compassion in fighting HIV/AIDS in Africa, bipartisanship in pursuing education reforms and restarting “an important conversation by speaking with the American people about our history as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.” If the country is eventually able to enact immigration changes this year, Obama added, “it will be, in large part, thanks to the hard work of President George W. Bush.” Obama said the living presidents make up an exclusive club — but it’s
From Page 1 more like a support group for the men who have held the position. “No matter how much you may think you are ready to assume the office of the presidency, it’s impossible to truly understand the nature of the job until it’s yours,” Obama said. “And that’s why every president gains a greater appreciation for all of those who served before them.” The other presidents struck a similar tone. Clinton praised Bush for his efforts to combat AIDS in Africa, his work on global health and even for the paintings he’s doing in retirement. And he said he’d gotten so close to the Bush family that there were jokes that “I had become the black sheep son.” Carter praised Bush for his role in helping secure peace between North and South Sudan in 2005 and the “great contributions you’ve made to the most needy people on earth.” Bush has kept a decidedly low profile since leaving office four years ago with an approval rating of just 33 percent. That figure has been gradually climbing and now is at 47 percent — about equal to Obama’s own approval rating, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released ahead of the library opening. If politics was absent from the podium on Thursday, it was still a prominent subtext. Those in attendance included a number of potential candidates for president in 2016 — another Clinton (Hillary) and Bush (Jeb) among them. George W. Bush in recent days played up the idea of his younger brother, the former governor of Florida, seeking the White House, telling C-SPAN, “My first advice
is: Run.” Their mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, did the opposite. “We’ve had enough Bushes,” she said Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show. The presidential center at Southern Methodist University includes a library, museum and policy institute. It contains more than 70 million pages of paper records, 200 million emails, 4 million digital photos and 43,000 artifacts. Bush’s library will feature the largest digital holdings of any of the 13 presidential libraries under the auspices of the National Archives and Records Administration. A full-scale replica of the Oval Office as it looked during Bush’s tenure sits on the campus, as does a piece of steel from the World Trade Center and the bullhorn that Bush used to punctuate the chaos at ground zero three days after 9/11. In the museum, visitors can gaze at a container of chads — the remnants of the famous Florida punch card ballots that played a pivotal role in the contested 2000 election that sent Bush to Washington. Laura Bush led the library’s design committee, officials said, with a keen eye toward ensuring that the family’s Texas roots were conspicuously reflected. Architects used local materials, including Texas Cordova cream limestone and trees from the central part of the state, in its construction. ——— Follow Josh Lederman on Twitter: http://twitter.com/joshledermanAP . ——— Associated Press writer Nancy Benac contributed from Washington.

Aspiring chair uses own funds to pay taxes
COLUMBUS (AP) — A contender for state Republican Party chairman said Thursday that his disagreement with the government over what taxes he owed, not a lack of money, led him to rack up years of back debt. GOP Executive Director Matthew Borges said he withheld years of tax payments to prevent the money from going toward a 2007 tax lien that he was disputing that related to how income from the sale of his $575,000 home was counted. Borges said once that disagreement was resolved he was able to pay more than $24,300 in state taxes from personal funds. He also was paying at least $124,200
in federal tax liens on Thursday. “We had to make sure that the issue with the home — that was hundreds of thousands of dollars of a discrepancy — was taken care of before I could come up with the money,” he said. He said he feared paying subsequent tax
bills would result in those payments being applied to the disputed amount. “So you have to get those things worked out before you can pay what they agree that you owe,” Borges said. “Once that happened, I was able to do that with my personal funds.”

Donors come out for drive Teacher resigns RUSSIA — Shelby County donors answered the call at St. Remy’s Hall in Russia April 16. They turned out in strong support of the Community Blood Center (CBC) spring blood drive, sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. The modern and spacious St. Remy Hall stands in the shadow of the historic St. Remy Catholic Church. The parish is older than the town, dating to 1850 when according to church history “due to distance, weather conditions, and wolves in the area” it became too difficult to travel to St. Valbert’s near Versailles. A log chapel “pioneer church” was built on the DeBrosse farm, and the congregation outgrew it by 1868. Following Russian custom, they erected a new church around the old one and carried out the original church piece by piece when construction was complete. That church served until 1890 when the cornerstone of the current church was laid and blessed. The St. Remy Hall blood drive mobile stands on a solid cornerstone of its own, with a strong history over the last seven years, including regular automated donations. Tuesday’s drive had 172 registrations, including eight first-time donors, with 164 whole blood and double red blood cell donations, plus 14 apheresis donations for 106 percent of goal.

DONOR PATRICK Buscher shakes hands with retiring CBC apheresis specialist Marilyn Staker April 16 at St. Remy Hall. Kathy representative Pleiman and coordinator Carl York were pleased with the turn-out. Tom Albers, a “20 gallon donor,” made his 166th lifetime donation at St. Remy Hall. He is the coordinator of the December CBC blood drive at Sacred Heart Church in McCartyville. Bill Tady made an apheresis donation at St. Remy’s, his 115th lifetime donation. “I think they’ve got me giving plasma today,” he said. “I’ve been coming here so long, I can’t remember sometimes!” Dairy farmer Patrick Buscher comes from a family of eight brothers and three sisters in North Star. Five years ago he donated stem cells for his younger brother Mike, who has was battling NonHodgkin’s lymphoma. Mike’s lymphoma returned, but he was able to fight it off with more
treatments. Patrick remembers being helped through the stem cell process by CBC apheresis specialist Marilyn Staker, who will retire at the end of April after 38 years with the blood center. St. Remy’s marked the final mobile blood drive of her career. “She’s a neat lady,” said Buschur. “She’s got a great personality. That’s what makes you want to keep coming back.” Neal Pleiman from Osgood donated platelets at the drive, his 201st lifetime donation. “One time we were at a drive in Versailles, and they were really short on platelets,” he said. “Marilyn asked me if I ever thought about giving platelets. It takes a little longer than whole blood. I said I’m retired, I have the time so it’s OK!” Jo Heitmeyer, who recently retired from the city of Sidney, made her 276th lifetime donation
at the drive. She has been donating platelets for about 15 years and says she was inspired by the city’s firefighters because many are apheresis donors. This St. Remy drive was the last chance to have a long chat with Marilyn. “She’s so nice,” said Jo. “She just makes you want to donate. We like talking about our dogs. Once, my husband was waiting for me with our golden doodle Ollie. Marilyn went out to the car to say hi to him!” “Whenever Marilyn calls, I kid her and give her a hard time,” said Henry Barhorst from Fort Loramie as he made his 93rd lifetime donation. “She’s a real sweet gal. I’m always glad to have her around, and I hate to see her go.” Kelsey Coverman, Tyler Frelin and Rebecca Art are all 16-year-old sophomores at Russia High School who came to donate (with parental permission) at the end of the school day. Kathy Pleiman is proud of Russia High School junior Dean Langenkamp, who is only 17 but made his ninth lifetime donation at the drive. Langenkamp said his goal is “To beat my older brother Jack. He had 10 donations when he graduated.” Joe Turner is a high school basketball referee from Fort Loramie made his 92nd blood donation at St. Remy’s Tuesday. “My dad always donated,” he said. “My mom too.”

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Saturday, April 27, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Travel plans or something having to do with religion and politics might be confused today. Something is vague. Nevertheless, you feel sure about going after what you want. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is not a good day to make important decisions about shared property or how to divide or share something. Fortunately, you feel independent enough to stand up for yourself. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared to go more than halfway when dealing with others today because the Moon is opposite your sign. It just means you have to compromise a little — no biggie. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have innovative ideas at work, especially related to technology and computers. Be careful if dealing with foreign countries and political issues. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This can be a creative day because you’re full of innovative ideas. Sudden opportunities to travel or explore avenues in publishing also might arise. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might make some unusual changes at home today, or someone unusual might visit you at home. Something will change your home routine and cause a bit of confusion. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) It’s easy to think outside of the box today, which is why you’re full of bright ideas. You also might meet a real character who likes your style! SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Although you have some fresh moneymaking ideas, there’s an element of confusion present today, so be careful with money and cash flow. Keep your receipts and count your change. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You feel excited about new possibilities and a fresh chance to do something. Just make sure you are clear about what you want, because something at home (or with your family) might confuse you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel excited about something today. New changes at home are stimulating. Try to be clear in discussions with siblings and relatives in order to avoid confusion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Be extra-clear in financial discussions with others today. New faces and new places might distract you. Be sure you know what you want to do. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Bosses and people in authority like your innovative ideas about money or how to earn more. But be clear in your expression with others, because you might be misunderstood. YOU BORN TODAY You prefer running things from behind the scenes. (It’s more your style.) You want to be useful, and you want to get things done. You are giving and hardworking, but you also protect your privacy. One of your strengths is that you know your limitations. You’re a realist. Your year ahead is the beginning of fresh new cycle. Open any door! Birthdate of: Walter Lantz, cartoonist; Dinara Safina, tennis player; Kate Pierson, singer. (c) 2013 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

ease based on cholesterol levels without medicine may not reflect the risk of heart disease while on medication. One promising drug that dramatically increased HDL actually slightly worsened heart risk. Older (non-statin) drugs that lowered cholesterol sometimes increased overall mortality risk. So, for people on no medication, high levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a lower risk of heart disease. (Think “H” for “healthy” cholesterol.) Unfortunately, even people with high levels of HDL cholesterol still can get heart disease, so it isn’t absolute protection. Those who do usually also have A high level of
LDL (think “L” for “lousy”) cholesterol. When I see someone with both high HDL and high LDL, I try to get more information in order to determine risk. Other risk factors — such as smoking, diet, blood pressure and especially family history — are important. If I’m still on the fence, I might test a C-reactive protein, a separate blood test that predicts heart disease risk independent of cholesterol. All that being said, I very rarely see blockages in the arteries of people with HDL levels over 100, and it would be exceedingly rare for me to recommend cholesterollowering medicine in such a person.

not join a women’s sports team? If you’re not, how about a book club? You don’t have to sit around and vegetate. You also didn’t mention whether you completed high school. If you didn’t receive a diploma, you would be well-served to work on earning your GED, which could widen your horizons and opportunities considerably. DEAR ABBY: I have two daughters, 11 and 14. They fight over many things, but what gets to me is the way they fight over what television shows to watch. My younger daughter has nightmares if she watches even mildly dramatic cop/lawyer-type shows. However, my older daughter loves them. At home, I’d have one kid watch TV in one room and the other in the other room. However, when they’re at the sitter’s
house, which has only one TV, they call me at work and fight over the phone over who watches what. They both accuse me of favoring the other. How do I deal with this fairly without upsetting them? And how do I keep my younger daughter from having nightmares? — DOING MY BEST IN KENTUCKY DEAR DOING: Because your younger daughter has nightmares after viewing shows that create anxiety, she shouldn’t be forced to do it. When they are at their sitter’s, they should alternate days when each has control of the remote control. When your older girl has it, the younger one should be encouraged to read a book of her choosing and/or listen to music. When the younger one gets to do the choosing, the older one should do the same.

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.

In our hearts your memory lingers, sweetly tender, fond and true. There is not a day, dear Mother/Father, that we do not think of you. Thank you for loving and sharing, for giving and for caring. God bless you and keep you, until we meet again. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Those we love we never lose, for always they will be, loved remembered, treasured, always in our memory. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. My heart still aches in sadness, my silent tears still flow. For what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. Memory is a lovely lane, where hearts are ever true. A lane I so often travel down, because it leads to you. Oh how we wish he/she was here today, to see all the blessings we have. Yet somehow you know that he/she is guiding us on our paths. Tenderly we treasure the past with memories that will always last. Remembering you on this day, comforted by so many memories. In the hearts of those who loved you, you will always be there. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. . Loved always, sadly missed. Forever remembered, forever missed. Suffer little children to come unto me.

Browns take LSU linebacker Mingo BEREA, Ohio (AP) — With their first pick under new owner Jimmy Haslam, the Cleveland Browns put a little more “Bark” into their defense. That should make the Dawg Pound howl. Hanging onto the No. 6 overall pick, a selection they considered trading up until the last minute, the Browns selected LSU’s Barkevious Mingo, who played defensive end in college but will be used as an outside pass rusher by the Browns. “They needed a pass rusher and somebody to get to the
quarterback,” Mingo said on a conference call. The 6-foot-4, 241-pound Mingo has the distinction of being the first player taken since Haslam bought the franchise from Randy Lerner in October. Mingo is also the first pick by new coach Rob Chudzinski, CEO Joe Banner and general manager Mike Lombardi, who have orders from Haslam to turn around a franchise that has made the playoffs just once since 1999. By coincidence, Mingo wore a brown striped tie and orange pocket square in his suit
jacket to the draft at Radio City Music Hall in New York. He’s aware his name will be a big hit with fans in Cleveland’s notorious bleacher section, known for years as the “Dawg Pound.” “It is very fitting,” he said when asked about his unique name. “My mom just made it up.” Mingo recorded 4.5 sacks last season as a junior — down from eight as a sophomore — with the Tigers and was named second-team AllSEC. The Browns are switching from a 4-3 alignment to an ag-
3-4 multifront gressive, scheme under new coordinator Ray Horton, who must be salivating at the thought of turning Mingo loose off the edge. He’ll likely play on the opposite side of Paul Kruger, who signed a five-year, $40 million free agent contract with the Browns in March. Chudzinski said Horton was “very involved” in the process to pick Mingo. The Browns discussed several trades, Banner said, but chose to stay at No. 6 to snag Mingo. See BROWNS/Page 16

New Bremen tops Coldwater NEW BREMEN — New Bremen upped its record to 7-5 with an 115 victory over Coldwater in MAC action Thursday.

One of Luedeke’s hits was a home run and one of Everhart’s was a double.
“This is the outcome we were hoping for,” Banner said. “We just felt too strong about the fit.” If Mingo wasn’t available, Banner said the Browns had a trade lined up. Mingo skipped his senior season at LSU to jump to the NFL. He raised his profile with a strong performance at the scouting combine, and said his goal “is to start in Week 1.” Mingo, who didn’t start playing football until his junior year in high school, started 10 games last season. About an hour before the draft began, Haslam, who is under federal investigation for fraud at his truck-stop chain, spoke briefly to some of the team’s season-ticket holders and sponsors at a party. As Chudzinski, Banner and Lombardi went over last-minute details before picking Mingo, Haslam addressed more than 100 partygoers inside a field house at the team’s training facility. Haslam thanked them for their support and gave an update on the team’s progress. However, he did not mention the scandal that has rocked Pilot Flying J, his family’s company based in Knoxville, Tenn. “The pace, intensity, tempo is no comparison to last year,” Haslam said to the group. “The energy level at practice is quite different. Players are real excited. We had a good free agency and have plenty of (salary) cap room. We need to have another good free agency, another great draft.” Haslam did not take any questions or speak to the media. On Tuesday, Haslam met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who said the owner assured him he would cooperate in the investigation. A league spokesman said last week that there were no plans to ask Haslam to step aside. Last week, FBI and IRS agents raided Pilot’s headquarters as part of a probe into claims of fuel rebate fraud.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN'S Eric Fisher stands with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after being selected first overall by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Central Michigan's Eric Fisher would be their choice with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft. The only reason they used up the 10 minutes allotted them Thursday night? The offensive tackle's cellphone kept cutting out inside New York City's Radio City Music Hall. “We waited a while because we had a hard time getting ahold of him,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said with a smile. “The phone was dying.That was the reason for waiting.” Evidently, Fisher was worth the wait. The Chiefs picked him ahead of Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, who went No. 2 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, to kick off a draft heavy on linemen. Fisher is a potential replacement for Branden Albert, and should help protect the blindside of new quarterback Alex Smith. “It was almost surreal that phone call was happening,” said Fisher, just the third offensive lineman picked No. 1 since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. “It was my goal all along, but I think it didn't hit me until my phone rang.” The Chiefs had the top pick in the NFL draft for the first time in franchise history. But rather than announce their intentions early, like the Indianapolis Colts did in picking Andrew Luck last season, new general manager MAC tackle John Dorsey and Reid deis No. 1 pick cided to wait until they The Kansas City were on the clock before Chiefs began to realize making their choice pubabout two weeks ago that lic.

Lorenzo Cain, Kansas City The center fielder was moved up to the No. 5 hole and responded by hitting .556 last week. He showed some pop with his first homer of the season and had 3-for-4 and 4-for-4 games as the Royals moved into first place in the AL Central.
Jeremy Hellickson, Tampa Bay The Rays continue to struggle offensively, but that hasn’t deterred the pitching staff. Tampa Bay scored just three runs in Hellickson’s two starts last week, but the young righthander allowed just two runs over 14 innings. He gave up six hits and walked two.
Carlos Gomez, Milwaukee The hot and cold Gomez has been on fire the past week for the Brewers. The offensive catalyst has ignited the offense as the Brewers were 6-0 last week. He hit .500 with two homers and scored five times. The fleet center fielder raised his average from .214 to .300.
Homer Bailey, Cincinnati Bailey didn’t factor in a decision in either of his starts, but he tossed eight shutout innings, allowed just two hits and struck out 10 in a 10 win over Philadelphia. He followed that with six strong innings against Miami. He was pulled for a pinch-hitter in a 2-2 game that the Reds eventually won 10-6.
Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado The doubles machine has produced at every minor league stop and appears to be ready for the majors. In 16 at Triple-A Colorado Springs, the third baseman in hitting .414 and slugging .759. He has 14 extra-base hits and 21 RBIs. Danny Hultzen, SP, Seattle The lefty isn’t overpowering, but has an above average fastball and changeup. In four starts at Triple-A this season, he’s 3-1 with 25 Ks in 22.2 innings and is holding hitters to a .198 averge.

Braves Tough trip to Denver and Detroit this week. Giants Bullpen ERA is about a run-and-a-half better than rotation. Rangers Derek Holland, Yu Darvish quite the 1-2 punch. A’s 1-5 outside the division as games vs. AL East continue. Nationals Outfield batting .306; infield just .240. Red Sox Mike Napoli drove in 10 runs last week. Rockies Enjoying cold weather — 5-1 at home. Tigers Outscored 22-4 in three-game set at Angels. Reds Already used as many starting pitchers (6) as in all of 2012. Yankees Pettitte, Sabathia and Kuroda are 8-2 with a 2.33 ERA. Diamondbacks Starters: 5-7, 4.19 ERA; Relievers: 5-1, 2.09. Orioles First five hitters batting .322, last four only .114. Cardinals Mitchell Boggs is not the answer at closer. Royals Believe they can compete with Tigers this season. Mets Cleanup hitters batting just .179. Dodgers Carl Crawford has scored 27.8 percent of Dodgers runs. Rays Only team in AL converting less than half of their save opps. Pirates Batting just .232, but have outscored opponents 68-66. Phillies No home runs in 110 ABs vs. lefties this season. Angels Starting pitchers are 4-7 with a 5.13 ERA. Brewers Jim Henderson has taken over the closer role. Twins Four Twins with enough qualifying ABs are hitting below .210. Indians Myers, Jimenez are 0-5 with 8.92 ERA in seven starts. Blue Jays One of three teams yet to blow a save opportunity. White Sox Half of their games have been one-run affairs (4-5 record). Mariners Scored just nine runs in four starts by Felix Hernandez. Cubs Eight of next 12 games vs. Marlins and Padres. Astros 2-3 when playing in front of 30,000-plus fans. Padres Swept Dodgers in L.A., swept by Giants in San Francisco. Marlins Yet to score more than three runs in back-to-back games.
Atlanta at Detroit The best pitching staff in the majors will travel to Detroit for the weekend. Braves pitchers haven’t given much ground this season, holding batters to a .219 average. The staff has a combined 2.36 ERA and the bullpen has seven saves, seven holds and has yet to fail to convert a save opportunity. Offensively, Atlanta is batting just .242, led by Chris Johnson’s .407 average and Justin Upton’s nine home runs. For Detroit, Torii Hunter has found a home hitting in front of Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. Hunter is hitting at a .392 clip. But the Tigers go as leadoff hitter Austin Jackson goes. In their nine wins, Jackson is batting .383 with 15 runs. In Detroit’s nine losses, the center fielder has been held to a .179 average and just four runs. Mike Minor and Max Scherzer will face off in prime time Sunday night.
Baltimore at Oakland Both teams expect to return to the playoffs this season. The Orioles’ lineup has struggled to produce with the exception of Adam Jones and Chris Davis, who have been tremendous. The A’s don’t hit as well at home, so expect a lowscoring series, which begins on Thursday.
Cincinnati at Washington The Reds, with one of the best records in the majors at home, just can’t seem to win on the road with the majors’ worst record at 1-5. There’s been little production from the Nationals lineup beyond Bryce Harper.
Rookies Time to Shine It’s tough to gauge just which rookies will emerge this season. Some players — like the Rays’ Wil Myers — are expected to become stars, but the Rays haven’t called Myers up from Durham yet. Others, such as Evan Gattis of the Braves, have an excellent opportunity to show what they can do now, but once regular catcher Brian McCann returns from injury, Gattis’ playing time will all but disappear. Here are our projections for the best rookie seasons in 2013 at each position. CATCHER Mike Zunino, Seattle He hasn’t been called up to the big leagues yet, but the Mariners are high on his potential and believe he will be a star for a long time. The 2012 firstround pick batted .360 and slugged .689 last season between Single-A and Double-A. Rob Brantly, Miami Evan Gattis, Atlanta FIRST BASE Matt Adams, St. Louis Known as both “Big Country” and “Big City” for some strange reason, Adams won’t get a huge number of atbats, but Mike Matheny will have him face pitchers he can handle. He’s made just six starts, but has at least two hits in five of them. His early .542 batting average certainly won’t last, but he’ll have respectable numbers at season’s end. Mike Olt, Texas SECOND BASE Jurickson Profar, Texas At some point, the Rangers will figure out how to get this kid in the lineup every day. With shortstop Elvis Andrus signed long-term, the best option appears to be at second base. As soon as Texas can find another home for Ian Kinsler (perhaps at first base), we will see Profar on a regular basis. The other possibility is that Profar is traded. Jedd Gyorko, San Diego
200 .149 3 9 7
THIRD BASE Nolan Arenado, Colorado A strong defender at third base, Arenado is hitting better than .400 through the first few weeks at Triple-A this season. It’s only a matter of time before the future star takes over the hot corner full-time at the big league level. Conor Gillaspie, Chicago White Sox SHORTSTOP Pete Kozma, St. Louis Since taking over the position late last season after the injury to Rafael Furcal and keeping it through the playoffs, it doesn’t seem like Kozma is still a rookie. But technically, he is. His defense is improving and his even-keel demeanor helps him stay focused offensively as he hit .333 over the last 26 games in 2012. Adeiny Hechavarria, Miami OUTFIELD Wil Myers, Tampa Bay The Rays haven’t recalled him yet. But remember, the Nats and Angels called up Bryce Harper and Mike Trout for the final weekend of April last season. With Tampa Bay’s offense struggling, Myers may be summoned sooner than that. A.J. Pollock, Arizona In order to make All-Rookie teams, there must be an opportunity to play. And Pollock is enjoying that in Arizona with fellow rookie Adam Eaton injured. He’s made 14 starts, mostly in center, is batting over .300 and leads the NL with nine doubles. Logan Schafer, Milwaukee The Brewers are high on this youngster, and manager Ron Roenicke is searching for ways to get him in the lineup. Unlike Pollock, Schafer doesn’t have an immediate opportunity and is currently the fourth outfielder. Jackie Bradley Jr., Boston Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati Aaron Hicks, Minnesota
STARTING PITCHERS Jose Fernandez, Miami There isn’t much positive baseball news coming out of South Florida this season, but Fernandez will be an exception. The Marlins just hope they can give him enough run support to keep him enthused. In 11 innings over his first two starts he allowed just one run, yet got no wins. Shelby Miller, St. Louis With Chris Carpenter’s injury woes, Miller has become an integral part of the Cardinals’ rotation. And this for an organization that expects to compete in the playoffs every year. So far this season he’s allowed 11 hits, five walks and has 18 punchouts. Hyun-Jin Ryu, L.A. Dodgers The Dodgers forked over a $25.7 million posting fee and another $36 million to sign the Korean pitcher. With Zack Greinke out, the Dodgers will ask Ryu to do some heavy lifting. Dylan Bundy, Baltimore Whether in contention or not, the Orioles could use another starter down AP Photo/Tomasso DeRosa (Fernandez), Jeff Roberson (Adams) the stretch. Expect to see Jose Fernandez (top) can’t seem to get run support from Bundy in the second half. the Marlins. Matt Adams can’t seem to get enough at-bats.

Can you name the only player who has suited up this season to have more than 1,000 extra-base hits in his career?
Career wins for Roy Halladay of the Phillies. He joins Andy Pettitte as the only active pitchers with at least 200 wins. But Tim Hudson of the Braves will be going for No. 200 on Wednesday at Colorado. CC Sabathia of the Yankees is just six wins away from the milestone. On-base percentage for Jeff Keppinger of the White Sox, who has yet to draw a walk this season in 74 plate appearances. With a .153 batting average, Keppinger is the only player of the 189 with enough qualifying at-bats with a higher batting average than OBP. Games in which the Miami Marlins have plated more than three runs, one of them a 10-6 loss to the Reds. Games in which the Miami Marlins have plated fewer than two runs. Through 19 games the team is on pace for 77 games with fewer than two runs. The most in a season in the 2000s for any team is the 2011 San Diego Padres, who were held to two runs or less 45 times. Players with more home runs than the entire Marlins team. Three of those hitters call the NL East home.
y y a a l l P P ! ! L L L L A B BA
TRIVIA ANSWER: Albert Pujols of the Angels has 1,003 extra-base hits over his 13-year career. Alex Rodriguez, officially considered active, has 1,189.
• After a rough couple of weeks to begin the season, Kansas City closer Greg Holland was absolutely lights out last week. In three appearances, he faced nine batters and struck out eight to notch three saves for the surging Royals. • Atlanta hitters should rest easy with the knowledge that it doesn’t take much to support the Braves’ stingy pitching. When the offense produces three or more runs, the Braves are 12-0. When they fail to score three, the record drops to 1-5. • With one more walk, Todd Helton of the Rockies will become the eighth player in history with 1,300 runs, RBIs and walks to go with more than 570 doubles. The others are Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Stan Musial, Rafael Palmeiro, Pete Rose, Tris Speaker and Carl Yastrzemski. • The Braves’ bullpen hasn’t allowed a long ball this season, and given up just four extra-base hits. The Royals and White Sox have the next fewest extra-base hits allowed with 10 each. • The Angels aren’t getting their money’s worth from right fielder Josh Hamilton just yet. But let’s remember that Albert Pujols was hitting below .200 with no homers in April last season. This year, Hamilton has three multi-hit games and those are the only three in which he has not struck out at least once. • Last season on his way to leading the American League with 129 runs and 49 steals, Mike Trout stole his first base and scored his first run of the season on May 1. As of April 21 this season, he has 12 runs and three steals. • Cleveland’s Mark Reynolds currently has 18 RBIs and just 15 strikeouts. If that trend holds up, this would be the first season of his sevenyear career in which he’s had more ribbies than whiffs.

New program makes IMPACT on juveniles facing problems Goal to keep youths out of court system BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia Through a unique collaborative effort, organizers of a new local program report they are making strides in getting young students the services they need to help them in the classroom and keep them out of the juvenile court system. Now in its second year, the Imagine Making Positive Accountable Changes Together (IMPACT) program is achieving a track record of helping young students in the area who are dealing with difficult issues that can result in serious problems in the future. The program, which is a joint effort of the Shelby County Juvenile Court, the Shelby County Educational Service Center, the Shelby County United Way, and the Family Resource Center of Northwest Ohio, reaches out to local families on a voluntary basis to assist young children. “The program is geared toward kids 8-12 years old who have had limited exposure to the system,” said Shelby County Juvenile Court Judge William Zimmerman. He explained that it is important to reach out to young children dealing with a wide variety of issues that can lead to behavior and academic problems.

Mother: ‘I can’t say enough how the program has helped us’ BY TOM MILLHOUSE tmillhouse@civitasmedia With her daughter’s behavior issues mounting at home and school, Sidney mother Evelyn Marshall was at a loss where to turn. The family had tried counseling, but it didn’t seem to help. “We didn’t know what to do, where to go,” Marshall said. “She was getting violent at home and she was not acting appropriate at school.” At the suggestion of a Fairlawn Local Schools official, she sought out help from a new program, Imagine Making Positive Accountable Changes Together (IMPACT). The voluntary program, which is funded by the United Way, is administered by Shelby County Juvenile Court. Marshall said she has been amazed at the progress her daughter, who is now 14, has made the past two years since she began receiving counseling through the new program. She said her daughter is doing much better in school (she’s enrolled at the Cooperative Learning Center) and her behavior is much improved. “I can’t say enough how the program has helped us,” Marshall said. “We’ve been up the hill and now we’re on the other side.” Marshall credited Jodi Knouff, a counselor with the Family Resource Center of Northwest Ohio, for being the catalyst for her daughter’s improvement. The Family Resource Center, which serves Allen, Auglaize, Hancock, Hardin and Shelby counties, has an office at 128 N. Main Ave. “She (Knouff) doesn’t give up, if one thing doesn’t work, she doesn’t stop, she goes to something else,” Marshall said. Marshall said she would recommend the program to others, noting that not only has it helped her daughter, financial assistance is provided to cover the co-pay for her insurance. Knouff said she thinks one of the main reasons the program is working so well is that is a cooperative effort of the court, schools and the Family Resource Center. “Most of the time everyone is working separately, but with this program they are working together,” Knouff said. “Our success rate has been very good.” When a student enters the program, the Family Resource Center conducts an assessment to see what services the child and the family need. In some cases, Knouff said she works with families to link them up with housing assistance and other local services, Knouff said families have been very cooperative with the program. “I look at it as a prevention program,” Knouff said, stressing that by helping the students at a young age it can give them the guidance they need to succeed at school and stay out of the juvenile court system. around the county and city schools on a rotating basis. Simindinger said the IMPACT program had 15 referrals the first year and now has 50 referrals. She said about half of the referrals are from the county schools and half from Sidney City Schools. “It’s truly a county program,” she said. Zimmerman praised the United Way for its support of the collaborative effort to help young children. “For the people who donate to the United Way, what
a great bang for the their buck because it’s going directly to serving the people who need it,” he said. Barr said the United Way has been pleased with the success of the IMPACT program. He said IMPACT plays a role in the students getting the help they need to be successful in school and later become productive citizens. “We are exceptionally pleased with the cooperation,” he said. “This is certainly a unique program.”
