Stewart kicks off season with rare win LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tony Stewart pulled away on the restarts and pulled into Victory Lane at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, crossing off another track on the short list of places he had yet to win. Wait, this is March, right? Stewart’s not supposed to start winning until later in the season, when the sun is high in the sky, the tracks hot and slick. See Racing, Page 16.

Threat to recovery Higher gas prices could stall economy WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation remains tame throughout the U.S. economy, with one big exception: gas prices. Those higher prices haven’t derailed a steadily improving economy. But if they surpass $4 or $5 a gallon, experts fear Americans could pull back on spending, and job growth could stall, posing a potentially serious threat to the recovery. And the longer prices remain high, the more
they could imperil President Barack Obama’s re-election hopes. A few weeks ago, economists generally agreed that the economy was in little danger from higher gas prices as long as job growth remained strong.

St. Patrick Elementary School students Mari Cait Gillespie, Angie Rice and Gemma Miller leaped, tapped and jigged their way across the St. Patrick Parish Center Friday, sharing their love of traditional Irish dancing with their “shamrocked” students. “I just really like dancing and how you can be on stage and show your talent,” said Miller, who began taking Irish dancing classes last fall. “My favorite is the ‘slip jig’ because it’s a cool step and it was easy to learn.” Gillespie fell in love with Irish dancing after attending an Irishthemed festival in Dayton where she saw dancers perform Irish reels, jigs and storytelling dances. “My favorite is the ‘Trouble Jig’ because I think the steps are pretty fun,” Gillespie said. “We perform at the Celtic Festival in Dayton and the Dublin Pub — it’s a great time.” The three St. Patrick Elementary School fourth-grade students kicked off Friday’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities by sharing several traditional Irish dances.

spied on Tyler Clementi and another man as they were kissing but also singled out Clementi because he was gay. Ravi, 20, could get up to 10 years in prison by some estimates and could be deported to his native India even though he has lived legally in the U.S. since he was a little boy. The case stirred a national conversation about anti-gay bullying and teen suicide. It also illustrated the dangers of technology in the hands of people who have grown up with the
likes of Twitter and Facebook. “They don’t feel like they’re spying. It’s just their own iPhone they’re using, their own laptop,” said Annemarie McAvoy, an adjunct professor at Fordham Law School in New York. “Hopefully, parents will use this as an example for their children.” On the Rutgers campus, student Melvin Ways said: “I think the lesson here is not everything is meant to be publicized to the entire world, especially private matters and things that are
personal to people.” Prosecutors said Ravi set up his webcam in his dorm room and watched Clementi kissing another man on Sept. 19, 2010, then tweeted about it and excitedly tried to catch Clementi in the act again two days later. A halfdozen students were believed to have seen the live video of the kissing; no video was taken in the second instance. On Sept. 22, Clementi threw himself off the George Washington Bridge after posting one last status update on Facebook:
“Jumping off the gw bridge, sorry.” At a courthouse news conference after the verdict, Clementi’s father, Joe, addressed himself to college students and other young people, saying: “You’re going to meet a lot of people in your life. Some of these people you may not like. Just because you don’t like them doesn’t mean you have to work against them.” Ravi shook his head faintly after hearing the verdict. He and his parents left the courthouse without comment.

prices could eventually slow growth by causing some people to cut spending on other goods, from appliances and furniture to electronics and vacations. Gasoline purchases provide less benefit for the U.S. economy because about half of the revenue flows to oil-exporting nations, though U.S. oil companies and gasoline retailers also benefit. Many American businesses suffer, too. They must pay more for fuel and shipping and for materials affected by high oil prices, such as petroleum-based plastics. Profit margins get squeezed. Even if prices ease after the summer driving season, don’t expect gasoline to fall below $3 a gallon. The government estimates that this year’s average will be $3.79, followed by $3.72 in 2013. Most economists accept a rough guideline that a 25-cent rise in gas prices knocks about 0.2 percent-
age point off economic growth. Gas prices also have an outsize impact on consumer confidence, Christopher noted. It’s a high-frequency purchase. Consumers notice the price whether they’re filling up or driving past a gas station. Along with the unemployment rate and stock market levels, gasoline prices heavily determine how Americans see their financial health. That effect was evident Friday when a decline was reported in the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment. The result surprised some economists who had assumed that higher stock prices and lower unemployment would lift consumer sentiment. The Michigan report showed that “gasoline worries … are outweighing stock market gains and job growth” when it comes to influencing consumer atti-
tudes, said Michael Hanson, an economist at Bank of America. The price of gasoline has climbed 17 percent since the year began to a national average of $3.83 a gallon. That’s the highest ever for this time of year. A month ago, it was $3.52. Gasoline prices have followed oil prices up. Oil is rising, in part, because of tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program. Iranian leaders have threatened to close a shipping route into the Persian Gulf. Experts say the standoff could lead to tighter global oil supplies later this year. Contributing to higher gas prices is stronger demand from China and other developing economies. Most economists expect gas prices to top $4 a gallon by May. That would drag on consumer spending and the economy. “It’s like a tax,” Hanson said. Economists note that
gas prices tend to hit consumer confidence especially hard once they surpass round numbers, such as $4 a gallon or $5 a gallon. Consumer confidence levels provide a rough guide to what Americans will actually do when at the mall or their favorite store. A Gallup poll last week found that nearly half of Americans would make “significant” spending cuts in other areas if gas topped $5 a gallon. On average, Americans said gas prices of $5.30 to $5.35 are a “tipping point” that would cause them to make those cutbacks. Motorists have responded to rising pump prices by driving fewer miles in more efficient vehicles. They’ve conserved so much fuel this year that they’ve effectively reduced gasoline spending even though a gallon is an average of 32 cents higher than it was a year ago, said Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service.
The average pump price nationwide is $3.83 a gallon. Energy analysts say it’s bound to climb higher in the weeks ahead. “It’s a thorn in the side of the consumer and businesses,” said Chris Christopher, an economist at IHS Global Insight. The economy this year “would have been better and stronger if we didn’t have to deal with this.” So far, higher prices aren’t undermining the economic recovery, which is getting a lift from strong job creation. It would take a big jump to around $5 a gallon before most economists would worry that growth would halt and the economy would slide into another recession. That’s because an improving economy is somewhat insulated from any threat posed by higher prices at the pump. The risk is that gas

Cain began his ministry at Troy View in December 2011, where the congregation welcomed him and his family with open arms. “They were looking for a new start,” said Cain. “A

Covington B.O.E. OKs land transfer BY JENNIFER RUNYON For the Troy Daily News editorial@tdnpublishing.com At Thursday night’s monthly meeting of the Covington Exempted Village School Board of Education, board members approved a land transfer with the Covington Church of the Brethren and Covington resident Robert Smith. Through the transfer, the district gained ownership of 3.7 acres of land northeast of Covington High School. In return, the church was given the west lot of the middle school that is currently used for church parking. “The thing that made it a no brainer for the district is that it’s (the land) going to be used for exactly what it’s been used for for years,” said Superintendent David Larson. District leaders are interested in the 3.7 acres near the high school for future building purposes. The defeated bond issue included the price to purchase the land. Through the trade, the district got the land at no cost to taxpayers. “I think it’s going to benefit Covington Schools, the Church of the Brethren and the community,” Larson said. According to Larson, the trade will be finalized this coming week. Also during the meeting, the option of dual enrollment at the high school was discussed. Next year, the district will offer dual enrollment in calculus. Through the program, students will take calculus at Covington High School. If they choose to take part in dual enrollment and get a grade of C or better, they will receive credit from Urbana University, giving them a head start on their college careers.
COVINGTON Twelve Covington students are registered to take calculus next year. Principal Ken Miller surveyed the students and 10 out of 12 were interested in dual enrollment. “I was happy to see the interest was that high,” he said. District leaders are now looking into how the program would be funded. Some districts using dual enrollment have the students pay the entire cost while some of the districts cover all or a portion. “My recommendation would be not to cover it all, just because of the financial situation we’re in,” Larson said. According to Miller, the cost would be $75 a credit hour. More dual enrollment classes may be added in the future. Also, Larson shared that the second of the district’s new buses recently purchased is about “two-thirds of the way ready.” He hopes to have it in the fleet by the end of the month. He also said that the district is working on a surveillance system focusing on the high school and elementary school. The system would have cameras on entry ways and some locations outside, such as on the playground. It should be in place within the next few weeks. And, in the athletic board report, member Alex Reck shared that $10,000 was given to the school by the Community Chest. The money will be used for bleacher restoration with work beginning after the track season concludes. The board will meet again in regular session at 6 p.m. on April 19.

Tornado damages 100 homes knock on wood, everybody was OK.” The twister that hit Dexter on Thursday evening damaged more than 100 homes and destroyed 13. But no one was seriously hurt. “We’re confident that we’re not missing anybody,” Fire Chief Loren Yates said Friday. Initial estimates were that the storm had winds of around 135 mph and lingered on the ground for about a half hour, plowing a path about 10 miles long. The tornado was part of a
slow-moving system that also brought large hail, heavy rain and high winds. Gusts downed power lines, sparking fires. Yates was amazed that no serious injuries were reported. He credited warnings issued ahead of the tornado. By midday Friday, the buzz of chainsaws and the groans of heavy machinery filled the air as families sorted through the remains of houses that had been turned to splinters in the community northwest of Ann Arbor.

DEXTER, Mich. (AP) — Sometime after a tornado ripped through this rural Michigan village, a solitary hand rose from the rubble of a destroyed home. The first officer on the scene reached for the hand and pulled out an elderly man who was shaken but able to walk. “That’s the best part,” Deputy Ray Yee said. “Every place I went to, I would have thought I would have found somebody laying there deceased or whatever.

Alaska’s largest city closes in on record ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Even by Alaska standards, this winter is unusual for the hardy residents of the state’s largest city. Near-record snowfall buried Anchorage neighborhoods, turning streets into canyons with walls of snow on each side. The snow’s weight collapsed the roofs of some buildings. Moose are fleeing into the city to get away from too-deep snow. And the city dumps are close to overflowing with snow that may not melt entirely before next winter. Love or hate it, some residents are hoping for more, at least another 3.3 inches. Then they could say they made it through the winter when the nearly 60-year record of 132.6 inches was broken. “I want it destroyed,” resident Melissa Blair said. “I want to see another foot and knock that record out of the park.” The extreme weather has not just struck Alaska this winter. It has also hit the Lower 48. The first three months of 2012 have seen twice the normal number of tornadoes. And 36 states set daily high temperature records Thursday. The Lower 48 had its fourth warmest winter on record, while Alaska had its coldest January on record. Two different weather phenomenon La Nina and its northern cousin the Arctic Oscillation are mostly to blame, meteorologists say. Global warming could also be a factor because it is supposed to increase weather extremes, climate scientists say. “When you start to see the extreme events become more common, that’s when you can say that it is a consequence of global warming,” Uni-

A worker with a snow blower sends a shower of snow from the outside deck of the Snow Goose Restaurant down three stories onto Christensen Drive in Anchorage, Alaska, March 6. Anchorage is on its way to breaking its all-time snow record and is just a few inches shy of going in the history books as the snowiest winter. versity of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver said. Nearly 11 feet of snow has fallen on Anchorage this winter, forcing the city to haul away at least 250,000 tons of snow or around 500 million pounds to its six snow disposal sites. The sites are close to overflowing. State and city crews are working around the clock to clear almost 2,500 miles of roads. City street maintenance superintendent Dan Southard said the 125,000 truckloads of snow hauled by city crews would stack up to almost 1,200 feet if they were dumped onto a
football field surrounded by walls. That’s not even counting the loads disposed of by state crews. “It’s an enormous task,” Southard said of this winter’s challenges. This winter is just fine with Kenny Withrow, owner of Popeye’s Services, a snow-clearing outfit. He has been working well into the night, clearing driveways and parking lots and charging $350 to $1,200 for each roof clearing job. Last year, he cleared maybe five roofs. This year, he’s done as many as 50, and the phone calls from worried residents keep coming.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Gadsden (Ala.) Times on “disaster junkies”: We’re not meteorologists or soothsayers, so we’re not going to speculate as to whether this year’s spring severe weather season will rival last year’s in intensity, destructiveness and loss of life. Things have fired up early and quickly, though. A series of tornadoes in January and February killed 15 people. The March 2 brutal outbreak that ravaged the U.S. heartland killed at least 37 people. Some folks who survived the storms physically may have lost everything they have materially. We’re sure the federal government and the states involved are marshaling their resources to help, but that can be a frustrating and ultimately unsatisfying process. Ask those who still are dealing with the wreckage of April 27, 2011. Much cleanup and rebuilding ends up being done by volunteers — and that’s where “disaster junkies” come in. The word “junkie” makes us flinch a bit because of its negative connotations, but those quoted in an Associated Press profile of the group expressed pride in the label.

His father slaughtered thousands to hold power over decades. China is reported to be sending an envoy to Syria. The same news cycle reports that China will, for the third year in a row, spend more on internal security than on the military. Worries about social turmoil anticipate reaction to the closed-loop rotation of Communist Party leadership this fall. Vladimir Putin was plugged into another six-year term as Russia’s president, and legions of angry protesters are unimpressed, especially with the thin veneer of democratic process that surrounds the election. Nations where confronting entrenched powers can have consequences for employment, education or survival are watching their streets fill with determined protesters. Bold, direct challenges that defy history. Young people in Greece, Spain and Ireland discovered their futures were pawned for short-term economic gain and partisan political advantage. Here in the U.S. presidential campaign, the capacities of the Democratic incumbent and his Republican challengers to react to this changing global environment need to be explored. Beyond bluster on Iran, GOP candidates act as if they have ceded foreign-policy expertise to President Barack Obama. They need to articulate their concerns, visions and abilities.

Some helpful tips for de-stressing your life You may not realize it, but you’ve been reading my endless rambles for nearly four years now. We’ve been through a lot, readers. From my realizations that I am truly an adult, to my wedding, to multiple job changes and even through the birth of my first child, you’ve had to listen to me dish the dirty details about it all. And some of you, for whatever reason, have managed to stick around for more — thank you. So since we’ve been through so much together, the next thing I’m about to say shouldn’t really come as a shock to you. I’m a teeny, tiny, itty bit neurotic. OK, I’m a lot neurotic. Like, I worry about so many things that my mind has started a filing and categorizing system to remember which things I should be stressing about more than others. Generally, I push big life decisions aside and choose to make rash decisions in one flurry of worry rather than stewing over them for a while. Probably because I’d need to be committed if I gave those problems the time they really deserved. Anyway, I’m a big, ol’ bundle of
Amanda Stewart Troy Daily News Columnist nerves when it comes to basically anything in general. In high school, I didn’t really have that much to worry about other than my boyfriend. And he was a good boyfriend, so it was easy. In college, I was either of drinking age or knew enough people who were that I could just drown my sorrows and stresses away. Note to teens and 20-somethings out there, your sorrows know how to swim. So eventually, trying to drown them with a bottle of cheap beer is simply going to cause them to overflow.

strategies won’t compile more things to worry about. Are you in need of some destressing? Give these easy tips a whirl — even if you think they won’t help, they’re harmless and worth a shot. For starters, keep a journal. That’s right. Get yourself a 40-cent notebook from the store and start letting loose. You don’t have to go all “Dear Diary” to benefit either, just write down lyrics you like, quotes that inspire you or glue pictures of things that make you smile. Just do something to get the negative feelings you have in you out on the paper instead. Start your morning off with a jog. I know, you’re so not the workout type, right? Well trust me, neither am I. I actually had to sleep in my best friends’ room in college during softball conditioning to ensure that my butt would be out of the love seat and into gym shorts for 5 a.m. marathon runs. Yeah, I’m that bad. But now, I’ve found a way to embrace my hatred for running. I spend so much time feeling like I’m going to die, fall down or pass out from being out of breath that I stop worrying about everything else in my head. I know, it sounds crazy, but I’m
finally starting to understand that “runner’s high” people talk about getting. And have I mentioned how good accomplishing something will make you feel? And if worse comes to worst, call up your best friend. When I’m all sorts of down in the dumps and way past the whole journaling, running thing, I call Chelle. She’s the one person who has watched me change for nearly 10 years now and loves me the same. Regardless if we ever solve anything, my heart feels a little less heavy and the weight on my shoulders always feels lighter after just a 15minute catch up session with her. Sometimes, being reminded that there is someone in your life to love you unconditionally (even when you’re being an unconditional wench), is enough to make everything else seem a little less terrible. But most importantly, take the time to laugh — even if it’s at a stupid television show or just at all your uncontrollable neuroses. Laugh it all off.

Park district to begin prairie burns For the Troy Daily News
TROY
The Miami County Park District will begin completing prescribed prairie burns over the next few weeks. Prairie burns are usually scheduled for early spring during the months of February through April. The park staff chooses this time frame as to not disrupt the animals that begin nesting in late April and early May. After considerable planning over the winter, park staff and a burn team choose the areas that are in need of management. Parks scheduled to have prairie burns this spring are Charleston Falls Preserve, Stillwater Prairie Reserve, Rangeline Road Access and John A. Wannemacher Reserve.
“Typically, prairies are burned on a three- to five-year rotation depending on the overall health of the prairie,” said Trevor Diegel, operations crew leader and prairie burn supervisor for the Miami County Park District. Burns are necessary to maintain the prairie’s health. It is an effective tool that helps control woody growth and prevents the prairie from evolving into a young forest. Burning dried remains of the previous year’s growth benefits new plants and provides important nutrients to the soil. This is how the various grasses and wildflowers are
able to thrive. Precautions are taken to assure the burn is safe for the public and surrounding areas. A team of highly trained park staff plan and execute the burns. Property owners who are adjacent to a selected burn site are notified by letter that a burn will take place. Also, most prairies have a firebreak in place, which is widened prior to a burn. “Parks are not closed during a burn but there is limited access to certain areas based on public safety,” Diegel said. If you are interested in finding more out about when prairie burns are scheduled, contact the Miami County Park District at 335-6273 or visit www.miamicountyparks.com.
Slaying suspect headed to U.S. By the Associated Press After five days cloaked in military secrecy, the U.S. soldier suspected in a massacre of 16 Afghan civilians has been identified as a Washington state father of two who underwent anger management counseling a decade ago after an arrest for assault on a girlfriend. The soldier accused in the killings is Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, 38, his lawyer confirmed Friday. Bales is from Lake Tapps, Wash., a community set amid pine trees surrounding a reservoir about 35 miles south of Seattle. Bales is married, the father of two young children and a veteran who was in the midst of his fourth tour in a war zone. Neighbors described him late Friday as good-natured and warm, and recalled seeing him playing outside the family’s modern splitlevel with his children, ages 3 and 4. But court records show Bales was arrested at a Tacoma, Wash., hotel in 2002 for investigation of assault on a woman he dated before he married his wife, his lawyer, John Henry Browne, confirmed. Bales pleaded not guilty, underwent 20 hours of anger management counseling and the case was dismissed, according to court records. Until late Friday, nearly all the very limited information known about Bales had come either from unnamed military officials or Browne. Even seemingly straightforward information raised questions not

ment to release political prisoners and institute economic reforms. That effort has given the church an outsized political role, despite the fact that practicing Catholics make up only 10 percent of the population. In both nations, there is hope that Pope Benedict’s visit will close an alarming distance between the Vatican and a region shaped by Catholicism. “In seven years as pontiff he has never visited Hispanic America,” said Bernardo Barranco, a specialist in contemporary Catholicism at the Center for Religious Studies in Mexico. “The pope has shown a clear preference for Europe.” The biggest challenge for Benedict is that he is not John Paul II. Devotion still runs high for the pope’s predecessor, who honored Mexico by making it his first trip outside the Vatican and coming back four more times. He is known as “Mexico’s pope.” John Paul had an age advantage; he was 58 when he came here, while
Benedict is turning 85 next month. Still, the difference in atmosphere is inescapable. The papal souvenirs and promotions that preceded John Paul have yet to materialize for Benedict’s trip. The hilltop “Christ the King” monument in Guanajuato, where the pope arrives Friday, displays only a few Benedict key chains. “We believed in John Paul II, but Benedict, no. We know he exists, but we don’t feel him,” said Noemi Huerta at a celebration for St. Jude, the apostle, that overwhelms a church in central Mexico City every month. “That’s because he has rejected us a little. He keeps us at arm’s length.” Nor is he a fan of pseudo saints like Santa Muerte, or “Holy Death,” condemned by the church but adored by drug traffickers and other criminals. Benedict has urged the purging of such practices in favor of a more “pure” kind of Catholicism, a notion he is also pushing in Europe, the region he has visited most and where the church has declared a crisis in faith.

Candidates rely on help of star power CHICAGO (AP) — No presidential candidate worth his chauffeured SUV has reached his personal zenith without this: celebrities to vouch for them. They are the glam and glitter of political campaigns, sure to turn even jaded political operatives into fawning celeb watchers. Nobody commands the nexus of stardom and politics more than President Barack Obama. Mocked by opponents during his 2008 campaign for being a celebrity himself, he draws from a broad assortment of personalities — Hollywood liberals, NBA stars and more. Friday offered a case in point. Obama was on his way to Atlanta to raise money with film producer Tyler Perry at a gala event featuring a performance by

Rick Santorum has been endorsed by Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, and Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, stars of TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting,” have made campaign appearances with him.

Rogan, and Jesse Ventura. Such proximity to stardom can reap big benefits for a politician. Chris Lehane, a Democratic consultant who’s had his brush with the stars working for Al Gore and Bill Clinton, says personalities help alter the typical, antiseptic look of a political event. “These celebrities, one of the reasons they are celebrities, is they have a unique ability to connect with people,” he said. “You’re using them as a bridge to connect with their fans and their audiences.” For Obama, whose campaign so far has focused primarily on fundraising, celebrities such as Clooney, Will Smith, Magic Johnson and Antonio Banderas help attract the big-dollar givers. Obama fundraisers take place in glamorous places
the rose petal-strewn pathway of Banderas’ house in Los Angeles, the full-size indoor basketball court in the Orlando home of Dallas Mavericks star guard Vince Carter, or the sprawling grounds of television producer Brad Bell. On Friday, Obama was on a furious fundraising pace, hitting five events in two cities in one day. At day’s end, Obama will have participated in 108 fundraisers since last April when he filed for re-election last April with the Federal Commission. Election During the same period in 2004, President George W. Bush had attended 54 such events, according to CBS News’ Mark Knoller, the unofficial but authoritative keeper of such statistics in the White House press corps.
Delegate-rich Illinois up next Romney hopes to regain momentum CHICAGO (AP) — After two Deep South losses, Mitt Romney is intensifying his campaign efforts in the economically challenged Midwest — a friendly region for him in hopes of regaining his front-runner’s momentum when Illinois holds its Republican presidential primary Tuesday. But the race for Illinois and its cache of 54 delegates is tighter than might have been expected, thanks to Rick Santorum’s recent rise in opinion polls here and elsewhere. Romney is clearly mindful of the threat. He and his allies are pouring money into the state, near Michigan where he grew up and his father was governor. Romney won the Michigan primary on Feb. 28. Logistically, he’s also looking to take advantage of Santorum’s failure to get the signatures needed to ensure he’s on the ballot statewide in Illinois. And Romney’s on the attack. “We are not going to be successful in replacing an economic lightweight if we nominate an economic lightweight,” the former Massachusetts governor said Friday during an early morning stop in suburban Rosemont near Chicago. The criticism, focusing on the economy, which is the voters’ No. 1 concern, was a one-two punch against both President Barack Obama and Republican Santorum. “I am an economic heavy weight, and I know how to fix this economy,” Romney declared. Democrat Obama was fundraising and campaigning in Illinois, too, on Friday and taking his own shots at the Republicans for negative campaigning. Noting he was in “the land of Lincoln,” Obama said the Republicans weren’t exactly appealing to in the Civil War president’s words “the better angels of our nature.” He told his audience at a fundraiser in Chicago, his adopted hometown, “I’m thinking maybe some Lincoln will rub off on them while they’re here.” In a wry reference to the heated Republican race, he said, “We’ve got some guests in Illinois this week. Apparently they have not wrapped up on the other side.” Romney, after Illinois, headed to campaign in Puerto Rico, where he’s hoping to win Sunday’s primary. Santorum, himself just back from Puerto Rico, faces the same obstacles in Illinois that he has in previous contests a lack of money and campaign organization. But his mes-
sage that he’s the true conservative in the race could resonate strongly in the rural areas of the state. He was spending Friday and Saturday campaigning in some of Illinois’ small towns, including Effingham. Beyond this state, the former Pennsylvania senator is focused on Louisiana, where he hopes to continue winning in the conservative South on March 24. In Missouri, en route to Illinois from his campaign swing in Puerto Rico, Santorum sounded confident. He said that, despite Romney’s heavy advertising presence and organizational advantage, he could post his first primary victory in an upper Midwestern industrial state. He argued he offered a conservative vision for the country. “We’re being outspent 10-to-1 on television in Illinois, and I still think we have a chance to win Illinois,” Santorum told a rally in Osage Beach, Mo. “Because without a vision the people will perish.” Illinois is the highest profile contest of the coming week, and it kicks off a two-week series of five contests before an April lull in the GOP nomination fight that could well stretch into summer. As Obama focuses on the general election, Romney is struggling to clinch the GOP nomination, even though he’s well ahead in the fight for delegates to the August GOP national convention. He needs to win 1,144, and is on pace to secure that number by June. Despite his delegate lead, Romney has recently won only peripheral contests in U.S. territories and he hasn’t won a primary since winning six of 10 states on Super Tuesday some 10 days ago. So he’s turning to Illinois to right his course in a state that’s being seriously contested only by Santorum and him. The resumption of voting in the upper Midwestern states, with Wisconsin following close behind Illinois on April 3, could be pivotal for the GOP front-runner. Maryland and the District of Columbia also hold primaries on April 3, as the voting enters its fourth month. Illinois was in the spotlight Friday, with Romney, Santorum and the man they hope to get the chance to challenge all appearing in the state. In the GOP race here, it’s all but down to two men, with recent polls in Illinois showing Romney leading Santorum by a small margin. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, badly damaged after losses in Alabama and Mississippi on Tuesday, campaigned in the Chicago area this week. But the former Georgia congressman was in Louisiana on Friday.

It’s time for you to stop clinging to the past
Today: 5 p.m.: Steel Dreams 6 p.m.: Sport Pilot TV 8 p.m.: Spotlight
Dear Annie: Ten years ago, I fell in love with "Brandon" and had the two happiest years of my life. Then he changed. We broke up, and I found out he had been having sex with another coed. His deception and harsh words put a stop to any fantasies of reconciliation. I soon began a relationship with "Travis," and we remain together. We've had our ups and downs, but I know he loves me and our values align. Despite everything, however, I have never been able to get over Brandon. I know it's absurd. Brandon and I have been in sporadic contact through mutual friends. He married the coed, a manipulative type who has made it clear she doesn't want to hear my name. The life he leads now is not one I would want for myself. I've been told that Brandon would like to see me, just as a friend, but he has made no move to initiate contact. I ought to know better than to believe it, but I feel a pain at the core of my body whenever I think of him. Tears come to my eyes when I recall the joy we had together. I love Travis, but I don't feel for him what I felt for Brandon. Travis doesn't deserve such divided affections. Am I doing a disservice to him by ignoring these persistent feelings? Is it realistic to want that joy again? — Hopelessly Unhealed Dear Hopeless: You have an idealized version of Brandon based on the two years of bliss you had together. But that person doesn't exist (and maybe never really did), and the relationship is dead. You need to mourn its loss, move forward and force yourself to stop romanticizing and clinging to the past. Young love, especially first love, has an aura that cannot be duplicated, but it doesn't mean you cannot find something equally wonderful if you are open to it. If Travis isn't the right guy, it would be a kindness to set him free. But don't do it because you dream of reconnecting with Brandon. You'd only be setting yourself up for disappointment. Dear Annie: My 96-year-old widowed mother has been in a nursing home for six years. Her mind is sharp, but she has a hard time taking care of herself. Mom has made many friends at the home and is loved by all who meet her. My siblings and I visit as often as we can, and Mom is always happy to see us. The problem is her grandchildren. They claim they are too busy or can't bear to see Grandma in a home. But they don't even phone. The same goes for her many nieces and nephews. My siblings and I have told them how much it would mean if they visited, but it doesn't help. Why do people find time to go to a funeral, but can't manage a visit when the person is still alive? I worry they will someday realize what a huge mistake they are making by ignoring Mom in her final years. Please tell your readers to visit someone in a nursing home. I hope and pray that when I get old, my children and grandchildren find some time to spend with me. — My Heart Is Aching for Lonely Seniors Dear Heart: Sadly, those who don't make time to be in touch with a loved one will certainly have regrets. We hope your letter will be a wakeup call. Feel free to send a copy to all the offenders. Annie's Snippet for St. Patrick's Day: Always remember to forget the things that made you sad. But never forget to remember the things that made you glad. Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those that have stuck by you. Always remember to forget the troubles that passed away. But never forget to remember the blessings that come each day.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Check with the library before donating old books Dear Heloise: As a librarian, I urge people to call their library before they donate books. Space is limited, and libraries try to keep the books most recently published for their patrons to read. They often do not have room for old books or a second copy of anything. If people have books more than a year or so old, I recommend that they take them to a charity or a similar organization. Thanks. — A Small-Town Librarian, via email Thank you for sharing another point of view! Check with your library about donating books, and if it doesn’t need them, a librarian probably can refer you to an
Hints from Heloise Columnist agency that will! Another great place to check is the American Library Association’s website, www. ala.org, which has links to a lot of great organizations looking for new or gently used books! — Heloise PET PAL Dear Readers: Sharon in San Antonio sent a picture of her black
terrier mix, Maggie, with one folded ear and one stuck-up ear. Sharon says that Maggie sometimes listens with only that one stuck-up ear! Maggie was found along a country road and “adopted Sharon” soon after. To see Maggie and our other Pet Pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.” — Heloise A PAIN IN THE DRAIN Dear Heloise: We recently learned that using powerful drain cleaners damages plumbing pipes. Can you help us with a solution that will clear our bathtub drain? My wife and I enjoy reading your column every day in the Laredo (Texas) Morning Times. — Eddie, via email
Yep, commercial drain cleaners can damage plumbing, especially if left to sit in the pipes for a long time or if used too often. And if the pipes are old, you are asking for trouble. Here are a few hints to help clear your bathtub drain: • Carefully pouring HOT water down the drain sometimes can cause a clog to break apart. • Of course, a plunger or plumbing snake (each available at large retailers) can help loosen a clog. • Turning to a professional plumber may be the safest and best bet. Ask friends and neighbors for recommendations. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE Saturday, March 17, 2012 In coming months, many new channels that might lead to advancement in your chosen field of endeavor could unexpectedly open up. When the dam breaks, it could do so in a sudden manner. Be ready to make your move. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — One of your very best assets is the ability to see value in things that others totally overlook. Keep an eye peeled for these kinds of opportunities. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Get your duties out of the way as early as possible, because you are going to want some time to have a little fun with your friends as well. You deserve it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — The trends and tides of time will start shifting in a favorable direction, making it possible for you to achieve a huge objective that you never thought would be possible. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If possible, avoid involvements with friends who are too deeply immersed in tradition. There’s nothing wrong with it, but your benefits will come through more progressive interests. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t discount a unique idea that dominates your thinking just because it happens to be a departure from your usual conceptions. Being different can be good at times. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Listen attentively when others speak, whether or not you consider the orator to be smart. Valuable information or a brilliant idea could come from someone whom you’d least expect. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t be hesitant to experiment with a new procedure or technique involving your work or an independent project. What you develop might be a time-saver and could increase productivity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — While your associates are trying to articulate the problem, you’ll have effectively analyzed the issue and already come up with the answer. Don’t wait for them — move ahead on your own. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It’s a good thing that you’ll be resourceful enough to squeeze things in under the wire, because you’re inclined to let important duties go until the last minute. Don’t make it a habit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Try to keep your schedule as flexible as possible, because there is a strong possibility that an enticing situation will manifest itself. Find time for fun as well. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When it comes to anything financial, both chance and circumstances are likely to favor you. Something opportune is in the making, and you should be a part of it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Because associates have considerable respect for your judgment, they are likely to support an endeavor that you’re developing. Take help where you find it.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Saturday, March 17, the 77th day of 2012. There are 289 days left in the year. This is St. Patrick’s Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 17, 1912, the Camp Fire Girls organization was incorporated in Washington, D.C., two years to the day after it was founded in Thetford, Vt. (The group is now known as Camp Fire USA.) On this date: • In A.D. 461 (or A.D. 493,
depending on sources), St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, died in Saul. • In 1762, New York’s first St. Patrick’s Day parade took place. • In 1776, British forces evacuated Boston during the Revolutionary War. • In 1861, Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed the first king of a united Italy. • In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt first likened crusading journalists to a man
with “the muckrake in his hand” in a speech to the Gridiron Club in Washington. • In 1910, the U.S. National Museum, a precursor to the National Museum of Natural History, opened in Washington, D.C. • Today’s Birthdays: Jazz/New Age musician Paul Horn is 82. The former national chairwoman of the NAACP, Myrlie Evers-Williams, is 79. Rock musician Paul Kantner is 71.
Can you hear what your car is telling you? Yes, your car talks to you, and it’s pretty important that you listen to it! Every machine emits sounds, which can be interpreted as a sort of language. You can learn a lot about your car’s wellbeing by listening to it carefully. Today’s cars and trucks have much quieter engines than those of a few years ago. One consequence of this is that motorists are now compelled to depend more on dashboard displays for signs of problems. Unfortunately, many drivers tend to ignore these lights and dials. Because modern vehicles are tougher and better built than ever, the car might continue to work for a while, even if something is wrong or if a part is worn out. Ignoring these warning signs, though, might cause an accident, putting your life or someone else’s in jeopardy. So, when starting up and driving your car or truck, pay good attention to the sounds coming from the engine room and from the whole car itself.

Abnormal sounds could be an indication of trouble in your engine, transmission, brakes, steering, or exhaust system. You might even hear some parts of the body telling you something is going wrong. If your knowledge of all things mechanical is limited, the next time you start your car, concentrate on what it sounds like as it runs normally, in good condition. Then, if you later hear something abnormal, try your best to describe the sound and where it is coming from. Get your car to your local dealership or private garage as soon as possible and describe what you noticed to your mechanic. Most of the time, your car will be whispering smooth sounds that make you happy and comfortable. But remember: as soon as you don’t like a sound, have it checked. At the least, you might be saving money by preventing a small problem from developing into a major one.

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 and eventually fake 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.

Lighter Penalty? Five-time championship winning crew chief Chad Knaus has a decent shot of having his penalties reduced when he appears before NASCAR’s chief appellate officer. A three-member appeals committee on Tuesday upheld the sixrace suspension and $100,000 fine NASCAR levied against Knaus after the car he presented on opening day of the Daytona 500 failed inspection. NASCAR said the sheet metal between the roof and the side windows had been illegally modified on Jimmie Johnson’s car.

Work In Progress Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso says the team still expects to fight for the Formula One title this season despite acknowledging the scarlet cars are likely to struggle in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix this weekend. Alonso said Thursday that this year’s car is still not a finished product heading into Friday’s first practice session and that the team is behind the likes of Red Bull and McLaren in development. However the Spaniard said the legions of Ferrari fans should not give up hope quite yet. “We are not 100 percent, there is more to come from this car and it will come hopefully soon,” Alonso said. “The team is very, very motivated for the championship, very ambitious, all the members of the team.”

Tony Stewart begins his burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday in Las Vegas.
A smokin’ start Stewart kicks off season with rare victory LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tony Stewart pulled away on the restarts and pulled into Victory Lane at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, crossing off another track on the short list of places he had yet to win. Wait, this is March, right? Stewart’s not supposed to start winning until later in the season, when the sun is high in the sky, the tracks hot and slick. “The spring has historically not been our strong suit, you’re 100 percent right on that,” Stewart said after his victory in Las Vegas on Sunday. “They’re not going to move this Vegas race to the middle of the summer so we can win one. We had to figure out how to be good in the spring at some point.” Stewart did just that, which could be a bad sign for the rest of the Sprint Cup field. A notoriously slow starter, Stewart has picked up most of his wins in the summer, when the heat puts a premium driving skill, not just pushing the accelerator flat. Stewart used his slow-to-getgoing approach to win his third Sprint Cup title last year, picking up all five of his victories during the chase for the championship. He finished the season in a tie with Carl Edwards a first in Sprint Cup history with a 5-1 edge in victories.
Stewart had a couple of shaky moments in the first two races of this season, but had the dominant car Sunday at Las Vegas. He used a bold move to take the lead late in the race, timing a restart perfectly and shooting past two cars by dipping down to the apron. Stewart pulled away on three more restarts after that for his first win at Las Vegas’ 1.5-mile tri-oval, leaving Darlington and Kentucky as the only active tracks where he has yet to win. “To finally check this off the list, that’s what makes today so special,” Stewart said. “Not so much the time of year we’re getting it, just the fact we finally got this one.” And he did it in just his third race with a new crew chief. A week after winning last year’s Sprint Cup championship, Stewart fired Darian Grubb and replaced him with Steve Addington, who had been lured away from Penske Racing. Stewart qualified third at last month’s Daytona 500 with his new crew chief and led two laps, but was never really a factor, finishing 16th. Last week at Phoenix, he was near the front, but couldn’t get his car to restart after turning it off to conserve fuel. His team spent agonizing minutes in the pits trying to figure out how to get it going and Stewart ended up 22nd.
With Stewart off to a not-sogreat start and Grubb guiding Denny Hamlin to victory at Phoenix for Joe Gibbs Racing, the criticism about switching crew chiefs started to intensify. Stewart and Addington quieted it all down by winning the very next week, which was a huge relief for the crew chief. “I really didn’t realize how much I’d put on myself going to work for the championship team the very next year,” Addington said. “It’s been a lot of pressure. I think that even when Tony feels good about the car, I’m still questioning. He’s just like, ‘Relax, dude, it’s going to be all right.’” Stewart’s win at Las Vegas put him in Victory Lane the earliest in a season since he switched from IndyCar to NASCAR in 1999. It also was his sixth win in the past 13 Sprint Cup races, dating to the start of last year’s championship chase. Stewart has always been confident and now, after winning so early in the season with a new crew chief and crossing off another track on his list, has even more to feel good about. “He’s as calm as I’ve ever seen him,” said team co-owner Gene Haas. “He’s composed, very confident in what he does. I have no doubt this could be another pivotal year for Tony.” It’s certainly off to a good start.
BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Greg Biffle knows he won’t be perfect all season. He’ll take what he can get right now. The Sprint Cup points leader continued his strong start to the season Friday by winning the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway. “I know this isn’t going to last all season, but I’m enjoying the hell out of it right now,” Biffle said. He turned a lap of 125.215 mph in his Roush Fenway Racing Ford to take the top qualifying spot for Sunday’s race. Biffle has opened the season with three third-place finishes, and has not qualified lower than ninth. “I gotta pinch myself. I think I’m dreaming,” he said. “I’m having a great time, the time of my life.” It’s the 10th pole of Biffle’s career, but his first at Bristol. He’s credited his strong start to the season to an offseason overhaul to his No. 16 team. Biffle has a new crew chief in Matt Puccia, and every crew member was changed. “They are a great group of guys, I’m happy to have them,” Biffle said. “Just plain and simply Matt Puccia is the reason why we’re running and competing and finishing where we are. This team needed leadership and he was willing to step up and take the task on and he’s done a fantastic job so far.” AJ Allmendinger qualified second in a Penske Racing Dodge. It’s his first top-10 starting position of 2012, but third in 10 previous Sprint Cup races at Bristol. Allmendinger has had a rough start to his first season with Penske, opening the year with a 34th-place finish at Daytona followed by an 18th at Phoenix and a 37th at Las Vegas. “This has never been a place that I’m really good at,” Allmendinger said. “We tested this week and learned some things, came into here, and was able to put them on the race car and really just have a solid day overall. We’ve had a tough start to the season, and definitely not the way we imagined when we signed. But it’s still early.”
Big year for IndyCar as series tries to move on ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Never has IndyCar had so much to look forward to in an upcoming season, and so much to overcome at the very same time. The entire 2011 season was a buildup for this year, when IndyCar introduces competing manufacturers, a new car, new faces and what’s expected to be the most wide-open championship race in years. But all of the momentum the series had built was halted in the
season finale, when popular two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon was killed in a horrific 15-car accident. Now, the series attempts to regain its footing and move forward while also honoring its fallen star. IndyCar opens its 16-race schedule March 25 with the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, where Wheldon lived and won the inaugural race through the city streets of his adopted hometown in 2005.
“You had a tragedy in our last race. This down season has been terrible, quite frankly,” said IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard. “Any driver or owner will tell you the same thing. There’s so many good things going on, it’s part of the closure. It’s life. We need to figure out how we close it personally and move onto the next step.” Wheldon’s absence will be felt all season but most notably during next week’s season opener and in May
around the Indianapolis 500, which he won for a second time last year. At the same time, his death could be the catalyst in an aggressive push to upgrade safety for both the series and the tracks where IndyCar competes. Improvements were well underway before Wheldon’s accident by way of the first new car to the series since 2003. Wheldon, who entered only three races last season, spent most of the year helping Dallara
with its development. The car was designed to add numerous safety upgrades and update technology. After the accident, it was named the Dallara DW12 to honor the work he’d put into the project. After initial gripes about everything from the car’s appearance, its handling and its lack of speed, intensive winter testing has left drivers optimistic that everything will be just fine. More important, it could level the playing field.

ering it was an early game,” Cincinnati guard Dion Dixon said. “They’re a young team, and they were probably not up for it then, but they made a nice little run in the second half. We showed our experience by finishing the game off.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Kyle O’Quinn had 26 points and 14 rebounds, making several key plays in the closing minutes, and No. 15 seed Norfolk State held on to stun second-seeded Missouri 86-84 on Friday in the West Regional. Pendarvis Williams and Chris McEachin each added 20 points for the MEAC champion Spartans (26-9), who made their first trip to the NCAA tournament a memorable one. They became the fifth No. 15 seed to beat a No. 2 and the first since fellow conference member Hampton in 2001. O’Quinn had a chance to take some of the drama out of the finish when he went to the free throw line with 3.8 seconds to go, but the 70-percent foul shooter missed both tries. Missouri coach Frank Haith called a timeout with 2.9 seconds left to set up a final play, and the ball wound up in the hands of Phil Pressey.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — This time, Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin wanted to be on the other end of a slow start. Cronin had caught his Bearcats slogging through the beginning of the Big East championship game last week, and it cost them. So when Texas came out slow after an early tip time in the NCAA tournament, Cincinnati was ready to pounce. “I thought we came out sleepwalking against Louisville, so with the early start I wanted to come out pressuring the ball, denying, trying to get our deflections, get some easy baskets and really take the game to them
early on with our physicality and our intensity,” Cronin said. The sixth-seeded Bearcats responded by jumping out to a comfortable lead that helped them withstand a late rally by Texas and win 65-59 on Friday in the second round of the East Regional. They will meet No. 3 seed Florida State on Sunday. No. 11 seed Texas looked as if it had missed its wake-up call and opened the game 1 of 14 from the field. Cincinnati (2510) jumped out to a 16-2 lead, while the Longhorns (20-14) shot a mere 16 percent for the first half. “We came out strong, consid-

No. 13 Ohio beats No. 4 seed Michigan NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Walter Offutt left Ohio State after not getting enough minutes. The guard was in the right place at the right time for Ohio’s big win over Michigan. Offutt grabbed a loose ball, was fouled by Evan Smotrycz and sank both of his free throws with 6.8 seconds left to preserve Ohio’s 65-60 upset of Michigan on Friday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament’s Midwest Regional.
The No. 13 seed Bobcats will face the Temple-South Florida winner Sunday. Ohio had the Wolverines on their heels throughout the game, but Michigan’s Trey Burke hit a 3 with 4:12 left to cut it to 63-60. But the Wolverines missed their final five shots, including four by the freshman Burke. On Burke’s third miss, fourthseeded Michigan (24-10) got the rebound but Smotrycz lost control of the ball in front of the
Wolverines bench, and Offutt grabbed it. Ohio shot 51.2 percent and held Michigan to 40.7 percent shooting, including 7 for 23 from 3-point range, typically the Wolverines’ comfort zone. No. 1 UNC 77, No. 16 Vermont 58 GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tyler Zeller had 17 points and 15 rebounds to help North Carolina beat Vermont in its NCAA tournament opener despite playing
without injured starter John Henson. Freshman forward James Michael McAdoo added a seasonhigh 17 points for the Tar Heels (30-5), who pushed ahead by double figures late in the first half and then broke the game open after halftime. They improved to 30-1 in NCAA tournament games played in their home state.

OSU aware Gonzaga is underdog in name only PITTSBURGH (AP) — Before VCU. Before Butler. Before George Mason, there was Gonzaga. The Bulldogs have spent the last 14 seasons busting brackets. Their mix of steady guard play and just enough muscle have made the Jesuit school nestled in eastern Washington a perennial threat to play deep into March. Yet all those upsets, all those higher seeds sent packing early have failed to help the ‘Zags shake the “underdog” label. What some programs would consider a sign of disrespect, the Bulldogs see as a badge of honor. “That’s where we came from, that’s where our roots are and that’s part of the tradition of being at Gonzaga,” guard Mike Hart
said. “Really, we love it.” Even if the Bulldogs are “mid-major” in name only. Since starting its run with a dash to the regional finals in 1999, Gonzaga has as many tournament victories (17) as Ohio State. One of the schools will get No. 18 on Saturday when the seventh-seeded Bulldogs (26-6) face the second-seeded Buckeyes (28-7) in the third round. Ohio State hardly feels like a favorite. The Buckeyes didn’t exactly play like one while loping through a lackadaisical win over Loyola (Md.) on Thursday night, winning almost in spite of themselves. They’re well aware of what will happen if they come out with the same lack of intensity.
“We’ll lose,” senior guard William Buford said. “You can’t treat (Gonzaga) like slouches. That’s what they want you to do, but you can’t.” West Virginia tried. The Mountaineers dismissed Gonzaga’s toughness, pointing to their brutal Big East schedule as proof they were the grittier team. It hardly looked like it when the Bulldogs rolled to a 23-point victory. The Buckeyes got a good long look, watching from their seats behind one of the baskets as Gonzaga buried West Virginia under a barrage of 3-pointers and suffocating defense that sent the Mountaineers to their worst tournament loss in 28 years. “I think that was tremendous, what they did,”
Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger said. “It kind of woke us up.” Just in case it didn’t, Sullinger can turn the tape on in his head of what happened the last time the Buckeyes came out flat in the tournament against a quality opponent. Ohio State was the No. 1 seed in the East last year only to lose to Kentucky in the regional semifinals. The memory still stings. If Kentucky’s Brandon Knight doesn’t hit that pullup jumper in the final seconds, maybe the Buckeyes beat North Carolina two days later and advance to the Final Four. If that happens, maybe Sullinger heads to the NBA instead of returning for his sophomore year. “One shot can change
your whole season,” he said. Or the trajectory of a program. Gonzaga was the school best known for producing Hall of Fame guard John Stockton until 1999, when the 10th-seeded Bulldogs ripped off three straight victories, including a 73-72 win over Florida in the regional semifinals on Casey Calvary’s basket with 4 seconds to go. “We had no business tipping it in,” said coach Mark Few, an assistant under Dan Monson at the time. “(But) as long as you can keep getting in the tournament, putting yourself in the position to advance, that’s the most important thing to me.” The Bulldogs have done it better than just about anybody over the last 14

The Blue Devils also dropped their opener against 11th-seeded Virginia Commonwealth in 2007. The Blue Devils had no answer for McCollum, a
speedy guard who’s a twotime Patriot League player of the year and the nation’s fifth-leading scorer. It didn’t help that the Blue Devils hit just 6 of 26 shots from 3-point range.
Lehigh (27-7) led most of the game, drawing support from North Carolina fans who borrowed brown signs from Mountain Hawks supporters that read “Go Lehigh” to root against their rivals.

Former Troy Christian wrestler Zach Toal — who wrestles for Missouri currently — competes on Thursday in St. Louis, Mo. stalling point, but the riding time accumulated by Thome made the score 1-1 at the end of regulation. The Penn wrestler came out aggressive in the overtime session, attempting two takedown attempts. Thome was able to scramble his way out of trouble both times, leaving the score knotted at 1-1. Like he had done throughout the entire second and third periods, Thome then rode out Ortenzio for the 30 seconds of the second overtime.
This set up a thrilling finish in the third overtime as Thome went down for the first time in the match. He took advantage by recording an escape point in the final seconds to capture the win. In all, Thome had an outstanding tournament, knocking off the No. 10 and No. 12 seeded wrestlers along the way. He ends his season with a 28-13 record and as a two-time NCAA qualifier. • Toal Falls Short Another former Troy
Christian star, Zach Toal, fell short of advancing to the second day of the tournament on Thursday. He lost his opening bout by a close 4-1 decision to No. 8 seed Robert Kokesh of Nebraska and then dropped a heartbreaking 31 defeat to Buffalo’s Mark Lewandowski in the consolation pig-tail. In a back-and-forth affair against Lewandowski that could have went either way, neither wrestler could gain the upper hand on their feet as several scrambles were stalemated. Toal recorded an escape to start the second period to claim a 1-0 lead, but Lewandowski returned the favor at the start of the third period to knot the score at 1-1. Both wrestlers attempted shots in an attempt to capture victory in the third period, but it came down to a wild scramble with 10 seconds left that Lewandowski turned into the winning takedown points. For Toal, it was a heartbreaking ending to another outstanding season that resulted in his second straight NCAA birth. The Missouri wrestler ended his season with a 20-11 record.

Seminoles avoid upset, beat Bonnies NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Florida State beat North Carolina twice this season. Did the same to Duke, too. The Seminoles were a trendy Final Four pick entering the NCAA tournament, and they were nearly sent home by little St. Bonaventure in their opening game. Bernard James scored
19 points and Florida State barely avoided a big upset, rallying to beat the 14thseeded Bonnies 66-63 on Friday in a game that left the Seminoles physically and mentally spent. “That was one of the toughest games we’ve played all season, and that’s all the credit to their team,” Florida State senior Luke Loucks said. “They
Yancy Gates scored inside for the Bearcats, Cashmere Wright drove the lane to hit a shot and then Gates connected over Clint Chapman to put Cincinnati ahead 58-52 with 1:11 to play. Cincinnati went 5 of 6 at the free throw line in the final 36 seconds. Gates finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds for Cincinnati. JaQuon Parker added 13 points, Dixon had 12 and Wright scored 11. J’Covan Brown led Texas with 19 points, and Chapman had 10 points and 14 rebounds. Julien Lewis scored 14 points and Sheldon McClellan added 10. “We already knew at halftime we were going to come back and fight hard,” Brown said. “We’re always going to play hard, and it showed how much heart we have. We’ve just got to learn how to finish our games.”

That was until Schopp was able to lock up a tilt with under 1:00 to go for three back points to tie the score at 4-4 with Thome still holding the riding time advantage. Another tight tilt by Schopp with under 20 seconds left resulted in three more back points and a crushing 7-5 defeat for Thome, who entered the tournament as an unseeded wrestler. In his opening bout of the second day, Thome wrestled a collegiate classic against No. 12 ranked Bryan Ortenzio of Pennsylvania, capturing a thrilling 2-1 victory with a last second escape in the second overtime session. After a scoreless first period, Thome chose top to start the second frame and accumulated 3:00 of riding time. He came close twice to securing back points on Ortenzio, but each time he couldn’t secure the counts needed for points. Ortenzio chose bottom in the third and once again Thome rode him out throughout the entire period. Ortenzio did receive a
■ CONTINUED FROM 17 after being shut down there in the first half. With 3:44 to play, Texas’ Jonathan Holmes hit a layup to tie the game at 52. It was an impressive response by a Longhorns squad that returned just three players from last season and features six freshmen in its regular rotation. “When we got back in the game, I called timeout just to make sure they understood we’re right where we need to be right now; now it’s a matter of execution, that we’ve got to take care of the basketball,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said. “Definitely (the Bearcats) were back on the heels. They were worried about the score more than we were.” The message didn’t get through. Cincinnati scored the next six points as Texas turned the ball over once and missed a pair of shots.
years, even if they’ve been unable to parlay that consistency into a Final Four berth the way the VCUs and Butlers of the world have done. It’s a glass ceiling the school is eager to break through. While not making it to the last weekend of the season has been a sore spot, Few points to Gonzaga’s remarkable consistency. Only Kansas, Duke and Michigan State have longer tournament streaks than Gonzaga. VCU can’t say that. Butler can’t say that. Neither can Ohio State. “I think that’s probably the greatest thing we’ve had going with our program, is the continuity,” Few said. “We haven’t really dropped off success-wise. You get in this tournament, it’s a crapshoot. It’s about matchups.”
came out first swinging, and we really didn’t hit back until about 10 minutes to go in the second half. Again, all the credit to them, we really, really had to fight to win that game.” Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton cautioned against thinking his Seminoles took St. Bonaventure lightly. Not with NBA prospect
Andrew Nicholson on the roster. “They were well prepared. They’re loaded with talent. They executed very well,” Hamilton said. “We’re very fortunate to come away with the victory. They won their league. Some teams from the Atlantic 10 have done really well in the NCAA tournament.”
■ CONTINUED FROM 17 eight assists. No. 7 Florida 71, No. 10 Virginia 45 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Bradley Beal had 14 points and 11 rebounds, reserve Casey Prather scored a career-high 14 and Florida pulled away in the second half to beat Virginia. The Gators (24-10) finished the first half on a 17-4 run to shake off a slow start and get out to a 30-22 lead. They shot 70 percent in the second half, pushing their lead to more than 20 points. Florida made it to the regional finals last season. The Cavaliers were in the tournament for the first time since 2007. Mike Scott had 15 points for Virginia (2210). Florida, averaging a nation-leading 9.9 3pointers a game, was 4 of 23 from long range but
made 24 of 30 from inside the arc. No. 9 St. Louis 61, No. 8 Memphis 54 — COLUMBUS Kwamain Mitchell scored 22 points, including three big 3-pointers, and Saint Louis rode its gritty defense to a 61-54 victory over Memphis on Friday night in a West Regional second-round game. Mitchell closed the first half by banking in a 3, then nailed two others to help the ninth-seeded Billikens (26-7) overturn an eightpoint second-half deficit. They’ll move on to play the winner of LIU Brooklyn and top-seeded Michigan State on Sunday. Brian Conklin added 16 points, including five free throws in the final minute to salt the game away. Will Barton had 16 points for the eighth-seeded Tigers (26-9), who had won 20 of their last 23 games.

That earned them a trip to Greensboro to face the Tar Heels in front of a home-state crowd wearing plenty of light blue. No. 8 Creighton 58, No. 9 Alabama 57 GREENSBORO, N.C. — Doug McDermott scored 16 points and Creighton overcame an 11-point deficit in the second half to beat Alabama for its first NCAA tournament victory in 10 years. Alabama had a chance to win during the frantic final seconds, but Josh Jones blocked Trevor

No. 11 NC State 79, No. 6 SDSU 65 COLUMBUS — Richard Howell scored 22 points, double his season average, and North Carolina State used its muscle inside and sticky defense to beat San Diego State.
