U.S. adds just 88K jobs in March Dim labor report reflects employer caution WASHINGTON (AP) — A streak of robust job growth came to a halt in March, signaling that U.S. employers may have grown cautious in a fragile economy.

The gain of 88,000 jobs was the smallest in nine months. Even a decline in unemployment to a fouryear low of 7.6 percent was nothing to cheer: It fell only because

more people stopped looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed.

Friday’s weak jobs report from the Labor Department caught analysts by surprise and served as a reminder that the economic recovery is still slow, nearly four years after the Great Recession ended.

“This is not a good report through and through,” Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at brokerage firm BTIG, said in a note to clients.

Economists had no single explanation for why hiring weakened so sharply and broadly, from retailers and manufacturers to electronics and building materi-

Sinking led to changes The first sign of trouble for the USS Thresher was a garbled message about a “minor difficulty” after the nuclear-powered submarine descended to about 1,000 feet on what was supposed to be a routine test dive off Cape Cod. Minutes later, the crew of a rescue ship made out the ominous words “exceeding test depth” and listened as the sub disintegrated under the crushing pressure of the sea.

‘As mischievous as ever’ Troy resident reflects on 105 years

At the age of 105, long-time Troy resident Mildred Williamson is bubbly as ever. Her secret to longevity?

“Just like everybody else,” she said, cracking a smile. “I’m as mischievous as ever. I have a lot of fun with the girls.”

By “the girls,” she’s referring to her close friends at the living care center Koester Pavilion, where she’s lived since 2005. A party was hosted for her birthday on March 23.

Born in 1908, Williamson married the late Kenneth Williamson and had three children: one daughter, Marietta, who is deceased, and two sons, Kenneth and Jarry.

Williamson worked at Braun Brothers Packing Co., Goodyear and Sunshade Co. throughout her life. In her free time, she’s enjoyed working in flowerbeds and completing puzzles and word searches.

She’s also a Reds fan.

Cooking is one of her favorite pastimes as well, though she admits that most people are unlikely to share her particular tastes.

The goal of the new Ohio speed limit is not to turn portions of rural interstate into the German Autobahn, but a local Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper said both Miami and Shelby counties are likely to see the new 70 mph speed limit on their stretch of Interstate 75.

On April 1, Ohio Gov. John Kasich agreed to increase the speed up to 70 mph on rural portions of Ohio’s interstate system when he signed the $3.87 billion state transportation biennium budget.

The speed increase is set to

MIAMI COUNTY take place on July 1.

According to Sgt. Joseph Gebhart of the Piqua Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the OSP does not know where the 70 mph zones will be yet, but Miami and Shelby counties do fall into the category of “rural interstate” zones.

“We don’t really know where the increases will be quite yet and what areas apply to the new law,” Gebhart said Friday. “(Ohio Department of Transportation) makes that call.”

Gebhart said many concerns pertain to areas where only two lanes of highway are available.

“Our main issues are where it’s just two lanes, which make it congested. Anytime you have traffic congestion, you have issues,” Gebhart said, noting most of Shelby County’s and portions of Miami County’s I-75 have two lanes.

Gebhart said OSP sees most of the fatal crashes the Piqua post handles on county and state routes, not on the interstate.

Gebhart, with 24 years of experience with the OSP, said he hopes the increase in speed does not adversely affect interstate travel for Ohio travelers.

A Troy teenager accused of rape was given a bond of $500,000 during his arraignment on the first-degree felony in Miami County Municipal Court on Friday.

Jonathan Lucas, 18, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted as charged and will have to register as a sex offender in the county where he resides, works or receives an education for a period of at least 15 LUCAS years, possibly longer.

According to the Troy Police Department, Lucas allegedly committed the act of rape against a girl under the age of 13 but older than 10 at a Troy residence April 4.

Authorities arrested Lucas Thursday evening following a police investigation into the alleged sexual misconduct with the victim.

An April 5 preliminary hearing has been scheduled.

Tipp City school bus hits tree No students injured Staff Report No students were injured when a Tipp City school bus hit a tree Friday morning. The driver, who had an existing medical condition, was transported from the scene by Tipp City EMS. At 9:08 a.m. Friday, bus No. 12 had just dropped off children at L.T. Ball Intermediate and was en route to Broadway and then Nevin Coppock elementary schools. The bus exited the Tippecanoe Middle School driveway, traveled across the street and over a curb at the Evans Title property. It then hit a small tree, according to Tipp City Police.

Sgt. Eric Burris said the crash appears to be the result of the bus driver, Walter Raymond, suffering from a medical problem. He is under medical care.

The 20 children on board the bus were not injured. According to school community relations coordinator Liz Robbins, they all were safely transported to their respective schools in another bus.

States fight immigration overhaul Obama Many are seeks blocking budget basic benefits deal

PHOENIX (AP) — President Barack Obama’s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants.

But months later, many immigrants are having vastly different reactions to the change depending on where they live, and they aren’t flocking to the program at the levels the government originally expected.

A handful of Republicanled states are blocking basic benefits for those in the program, denying beneficiaries identification cards, driver’s licenses, health care, instate tuition, student financial aid, college admission or other privileges typically afforded to legal residents.

Others have set out welcome signs for the immigrants, including 12 that grant resident tuition for immigrants who graduated from local high schools.

The number of immigrants who signed up for the program has been smaller than envisioned.

In the first eight months of the program, about 450,000 applications have been accepted. The government originally estimated that 1 million would enroll in the first year. Experts say the numbers have been surprisingly low in states with large immigrant populations like Florida, New Jersey and Arizona.

Enrolling in a college or a university — a cornerstone of the new policy — hasn’t been easy either. With many states refusing to grant instate tuition, immigrants who largely come from working-class families have

Reyna Avila, who recently received a work permit and Social Security card under new Obama administration policy for young immigrants, is shown here at her place of work Tuesday in Phoenix. President Barack Obama’s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants. to shell out upward of $40,000 a year to go to school with no financial aid.

“It’s really hard that now you have all these doors that you feel are going to be open to you and the doors are still closed,” said Reyna Avila, a Phoenix college student who received a work permit and Social Security card under the policy, but still cannot drive to work or school without risking criminal charges.

In Michigan, high school senior Javier Contreras and his family considered moving to Illinois until his state came up with a solution allowing him to get a driver’s license. But because of his immigration status, he will have to pay the $20,000 for out-of-state tuition if he wants to attend his dream school, the University of Michigan.

Under the so-called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, more than 1 million immigrants are eligible for work permits good for two years with no limits on how many times they can be renewed. Qualified appli-

cants must be 30 or younger, prove they arrived in the U.S. before they turned 16, have been living in the country at least five years and are in school or graduated or served in the military. advocates Immigrant embraced the program when it was announced in June as a long-awaited, albeit temporary fix for young immigrants, many of whom were brought here as young children and grew up in America. Congress has failed for years to create a similar law in the form of the DREAM Act, so Obama bypassed the legislative process and implemented the change under the Department of Homeland Security.

Republican critics note the Obama policy was passed only after Congress failed multiple times to pass the DREAM Act and could soon be found unconstitutional in court because it extends legal rights to people who are not legally in the country.

“The Obama amnesty plan doesn’t make them legally here,” Arizona Gov.

Jan Brewer said shortly after the program was unveiled.

The creation of the program set off a flurry of activity in statehouses, governor’s offices and in the courts, giving young immigrants different impressions of the policy from state to state.

In Alabama, Florida, Idaho and dozens of other states, the young immigrants don’t qualify for resident tuition or financial aid.

South Carolina and Georgia won’t let the students apply for admission to some public universities.

Republican leaders in Arizona and Nebraska refuse to grant the young people driver’s licenses, though the vast majority of states allow those in the program to legally drive. In North Carolina, lawmakers briefly considered issuing licenses with bright pink stripes and the words “NO LAWFUL STATUS” on them. Until last month, immigrants benefiting from the policy couldn’t get a state identification card in Michigan.

“There’s something in the Bible — don’t ask me where, because I don’t know — that says if someone knocks on your door and asks to come in, give them something to eat because it may be the Lord,” Williamson said.

“People don’t know how much sadness there is in this world. They don’t.”

She also strives to overlook material possessions.

“Money doesn’t get you nowhere. It causes you a lot of trouble sometimes,” she said, adding that feeding the less fortunate was

always a priority of hers.

Reflecting back on her 105 years, Williamson said she certainly feels fulfilled: “I’ve seen a lot; I’ve helped a lot; and I’ve done a lot. Life is wonderful, but you’ve really got to keep a stiff upper lip. No question about it.”

said. ‘“But we’ll be out there on the road to keep it in check.”

Gebhart said if there is a dramatic increase in accidents and other issues due to the increase in speed, OSP will make recommendations to state officials and ODOT. “Our goal for motorists on the interstate is to get from point A to B safely,” Gebhart said. “After this goes in effect, we’ll keep a

close eye on it.

“You can rest assured that we’ll have more enforcement, including traffic blitzes and air traffic control,” Gebhart said.

“We’ll be out there and they’ll slow down.”

According to reports, urban areas still will use the 55 mph limit. The transportation bill states that the new speed limit of 70 mph only applies to the interstate systems of

I-70, I-75 and I-71. The maximum speed limit for outer belts in urban areas, including I-675 around Dayton, I-270 and I-670 around Columbus and I-275 around Cincinnati, will be 65 miles per hour.

The speed limit on interstate freeways in areas deemed congested by the Ohio Department of Transportation would be set at 55 mph.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking an elusive middle ground, President Barack Obama is proposing a 2014 budget that embraces tax increases abhorred by Republicans as well as reductions, loathed by liberals, in the growth of Social Security and other benefit programs.

The plan, if ever enacted, could touch almost all Americans. The rich would see tax increases, the poor and the elderly would get smaller annual increases in their benefits, and middle income taxpayers would slip into higher tax brackets despite Obama’s repeated vows not to add to the tax burden of the middle class.

His proposed changes, once phased in, would mean a cut in Social Security benefits of nearly $1,000 a year for an average 85-year-old, smaller cuts for younger retirees.

Obama proposed much the same without success to House Speaker John Boehner in December. The response Friday was dismissive from Republicans and hostile from liberals, labor and advocates for the elderly.

But the proposal aims to tackle worrisome deficits that are adding to the national debt and placing a long-term burden on the nation, prompting praise from independent deficit hawks.

Obama’s budget also proposes new spending for public works projects, preschool education and for job and benefit assistance for veterans.

“It’s not the president’s ideal approach to our budget challenges, but it is a serious compromise proposition that demonstrates that he wants to get things done,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

The budget, which Obama will release Wednesday to cover the budget year beginning Oct. 1, proposes spending cuts and revenue increases that would result in $1.8 trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years.

That figure would replace $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that are poised to take effect over the next 10 years if Congress and the president don’t come up with an alternative, thus delivering a net increase in deficit reduction of $600 billion.

Counting reductions and higher taxes that Congress and Obama have approved since 2011, the 2014 budget would contribute to $4.3 trillion in total deficit reduction by 2023.

The budget wouldn’t affect the $85 billion in cuts that kicked in last month for this budget year.

A key feature of Obama’s plan is a revised inflation adjustment called “chained CPI.” This new formula would effectively curb annual increases in a broad swath of government programs but would have its biggest impact on Social Security.

By encompassing Obama’s offer to Boehner, R-Ohio, the plan would also include reductions in Medicare spending, much of it by targeting payments to health care providers and drug companies.

Edison to celebrate ‘Week of Young Child’ The Early Childhood Education Program at Edison Community College will join the National Association for the Education of Young Children from April 15-19 in celebrating “The Week of the Young Child.”

The Week of the Young Child is an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The purpose of the event is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.

“The Edison Child Development Center is deeply committed to providing high quality education and care for young children and values the role it plays in helping to shape tomorrow’s teach-

PIQUA ers,” said Kelli Gerlach, head teacher and coordinator of the Child Development Center. “We also recognize that it takes the support of many to make the early learning years truly successful.”

The Edison Child Development Center is a nationally accredited developmental program and provides high quality education to children between the ages of 3-10 years. The center has received the Three-Star Step Up To Quality Award from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Step Up To quality is a voluntary rating system for early care and education programs.

Programs can earn a one-, two- or three-star rating by meeting an extensive

list of quality benchmarks.

These benchmarks improve the growth and development potential of children while the rating system provides parents a useful tool for selecting quality early childhood programs. The Child Care Development Center is open to children in local communities as well as to children of Edison students, faculty and staff.

The Edison Child Development Center has set up a children’s art exhibit in the Edison Art Gallery and will hold an art show reception at 6 p.m. April 18. The center also will host a Scholastic Book Fair from April 1418. To further promote early learning, a monthlong reading campaign has been initiated to encourage family and community members to read books to their preschool children.

Suspect used detective’s gun Gunman killed self after shooting officer JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A murder suspect wrestled a gun away from the detective interrogating him at police headquarters in Mississippi’s capital, then fatally shot the officer before killing himself, authorities said Friday.

Mississippi Bureau of Investigation spokesman Warren Strain said Friday that 23-year-old Jeremy Powell seized the gun from Jackson Police Detective Eric Smith in a third-floor interrogation room while he was being questioned about a stabbing death earlier this week.

Smith, 40, had been with the agency nearly 20 years, was physically fit and was praised for his work leading numerous high-profile murder inves-

tigations, officials said.

“Eric was killed with his own gun,” Strain said. Strain said he didn’t have details about the gun but said it was Smith’s service weapon.

Ken Winter, executive director of the Mississippi Association of Chiefs of Police, said it’s not usual for an officer to be armed during an interview unless it’s being conducted in a secure area, like a jail. Jails typically require all visitors to check their weapons, including law enforcement.

Winter spent 36 years in law enforcement as a police chief, a detective and as director of the state crime lab.

“For him to be armed, I’d expect that,” Winter said. “I don’t think I did an interview when I wasn’t armed,

unless I was doing it in the jail.”

But it is rare for an officer to be killed inside a department, Winter said. He said he couldn’t recall such an instance in recent years in Mississippi.

Autopsies were being performed Friday at the state crime laboratory, but Strain said it could be several days before the findings are released. The policy of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety is that autopsy reports are not released until they are completed, and some tests could take a few days, he said.

Jackson city spokesman Chris Mims said officials knew of no funeral arrangements as of Friday afternoon.

Smith is survived by his

wife, Eneke, a sergeant with the Jackson Police Department, and two sons, Eric Smith Jr. and Quentin Smith. The family lives in a one-story red-brick home in a recently built subdivision in Clinton, a western suburb of Jackson.

A Jackson officer was posted in a police car Friday at the curb outside the house, where family members declined to speak to reporters.

Meanwhile, officials and friends remembered Smith as a talented officer.

Speaking to reporters Friday, Mayor Harvey Johnson Jr. said counselors and clergy were meeting with police officers. He declined to discuss the investigation or police department procedures, instead asking city residents to support police.

Judge making morning-after pill available to all WASHINGTON (AP) — The morning-after pill might become as easy to buy as aspirin.

In a scathing rebuke accusing the Obama administration of letting electionyear politics trump science, a federal judge ruled Friday that women of any age should be able to buy emergency contraception without a doctor’s prescription.

Today, women can do that only if they prove at the pharmacy that they’re 17 or older; everyone else must see a doctor first. U.S. District Judge Edward Korman of New York blast-

ed the government’s decision on age limits as “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable,” and ordered an end to the restrictions within 30 days.

The Justice Department was evaluating whether to appeal, and spokeswoman Allison Price said there would be a prompt decision.

President Barack Obama had supported the 2011 decision setting age limits, and White House spokesman Jay Carney said Friday the president hasn’t changed his position.

“He believes it was the right common-sense

approach to this issue,” Carney said.

If the court order stands, Plan B One-Step and its generic versions could move from behind pharmacy counters out to drugstore shelves ending a decadeplus struggle by women’s groups for easier access to these pills, which can prevent pregnancy if taken soon enough after unprotected sex.

Saying the sales restrictions can make it hard for women of any age to buy the pills, Korman described the administration’s decision, in the year before the

2012 presidential and congressional elections, as “politically motivated, scientifically unjustified and contrary to agency precedent.”

Women’s health specialists hailed the ruling.

“It has been clear for a long time that the medical and scientific community think this should be fully over the counter and is safe for women of all ages to use,” said Dr. Susan Wood, who resigned as FDA’s women’s health chief in 2005 to protest Bush administration foot-dragging over Plan B.

U.S. sub sinking led to changes KITTERY, Maine (AP) — The first sign of trouble for the USS Thresher was a garbled message about a “minor difficulty” after the nuclear-powered submarine descended to about 1,000 feet on what was supposed to be a routine test dive off Cape Cod. Minutes later, the crew of a rescue ship made out the ominous words “exceeding test depth” and listened as the sub disintegrated under the crushing pressure of the sea. Just like that, the Thresher was gone, along with 129 men.

Fifty years ago, the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history delivered a blow to national pride during the Cold War and became the impetus for safety improvements. To this day, some designers and maintenance personnel listen to an audio recording of a submarine disintegrating to underscore the importance of safety.

“We can never, ever let that happen again,” said Vice Adm. Kevin McCoy, an engineer and former submariner who now serves as commander of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington, D.C. This weekend, hundreds who lost loved ones when

the Thresher sank will gather at memorial events in Portsmouth, N.H., and Kittery, Maine.

Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, and based in Groton, Conn., the first-in-class Thresher was the world’s most advanced fast attack submarine when it was commissioned in 1961.

Featuring a cigar-shaped hull and nuclear propulsion, the 278-foot-long submarine could travel underwater for unlimited distances. It could dive deeper than earlier submarines, enduring pressure at unforgiving depths.

On April 10, 1963, the submarine already had undergone initial sea trials and was back in the ocean about 220 miles off Cape Cod, Mass., for deep-dive testing. The Navy believes sea water sprayed onto an electrical panel, shorting it out and causing an emergency shutdown of the nuclear reactor.

The submarine alerted the USS Skylark, a rescue ship trailing it, that it was attempting to surface by emptying its ballast tanks.

But that system failed, and the sub descended below crush depth.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP New York Times on brain research: President Barack Obama officially announced his new brain research initiative on Tuesday, with a pledge to put $100 million in his 2014 budget to support work at three federal agencies. It is a modest but welcome start for an effort that could transform our understanding of how the brain works and help researchers find new ways to treat and prevent brain disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

The ultimate aim is to learn how the brain generates thoughts, dreams, memories, perceptions and other mental images; how it stores and retrieves vast quantities of data; and how it learns from experience or education. More immediately, the aim is to generate new technologies in data processing, nanotechnology, optogenetics and other esoteric fields to study how billions of brain cells and complex neural circuits interact.

The $100 million will be split among the National Institutes of Health, the lead agency for biomedical research; the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which has a strong interest in treating soldiers with brain injuries; and the National Science Foundation, which supports a broad range of As I research in numerous fields.

Most U.S. medical groups called for a return to comprehensive courses that protect teens.

In 2010, under President Barack Obama, Congress ended two abstinence programs, saving taxpayers $112 million a year, but retained a third that grants up to $50 million annually to puritanical states wanting to keep teens sexless.

An obstetrician, Dr. Stephanie Sober, recently suggested that taxpayers should save the $50 million, rather than waste it on abstinenceonly classes.

Southern West Virginia has a pathetic rate of teen pregnancy — up to three times higher than the national average — which often dooms both mothers and children to poverty and lost potential.

This state actually has good sex education laws, requiring schools to protect youths by giving them effective birth control instruction. But puritanical mountain taboos cause many rural schools to shun this obligation, like Dracula recoiling from a crucifix. In effect, some classes teach abstinence-only, even though state law requires comprehensive training.

All teenage girls deserve the best future possible. Helping them avoid unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases should be a solemn commitment. America should stop pushing futile abstinence-only training and instead teach teens how to protect themselves.

DOONESBURY

The great United States gun control fizzle Rarely has the political class whipped itself into a lather that has abated so quickly. After the Newtown, Conn., massacre, so many invested so much hope in President Barack Obama's pledge to "use whatever power this office holds" to pass new gun-control laws.

The president has certainly done his part. He has held rallies. He has used children as props. He has held events with parents of the little victims of Newtown. He has shamed the nation for its alleged forgetfulness over the terrible events of that day.

Yet the needle of public opinion is moving the wrong way.

CBS News found that support for stricter gun laws dropped from 57 percent to 47 percent, and CNN from 52 percent to 43 percent. The headline on a CNN story on the latest polling was titled "Polls Suggest Congress Might Have Waited Too Long on Gun Control." It has waited all of four months.

But the assault-weapons ban has been deep-sixed by Democrats in the Senate. Same with any limit on the size of magazines. The argument now is all about increasing the reach of background checks, although any

Rich Lowry Troy Daily News Guest Columnist bill that can pass Congress will be much less extensive than the president or his supporters would like.

The gun-control debate has shown the president again to be hopelessly detached as a legislative mechanic and ineffectual as a shaper of public opinion. Before writing rhetorical checks that his own party's majority leader in the Senate, Harry Reid, couldn't cash, the president might have at least consulted with the wily old son of a gun about what was plausible and adjusted accordingly.

It is true that 90 percent of Americans support universal background checks. Who can be against background checks?

Heck, even the National Rifle Association wants states to keep more complete records of who is

forbidden from purchasing guns.

But it gets complicated quickly when you try to control almost every transfer of a gun. Sen. Chuck Schumer's current version of the bill would forbid a "temporary transfer" to a friend for target shooting if the range is not "owned or occupied by a duly incorporated organization organized for conservation purposes or to foster proficiency in firearms."

Got it?

Surely, we can figure out a way to do more at gun shows.

But despite the obsession with them, gun shows are beside the point. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, "In 1997, among state inmates possessing a gun, fewer than 2 percent bought their firearm at a flea market or gun show, about 12 percent from a retail store or pawnshop and 80 percent from family, friends, a street buy or an illegal source."

Gun control always founders on the paradox that it is possible to write new laws for the lawabiding but difficult or impossible to reach criminals who don't care about laws.

Michigan has required a permit to purchase a handgun since 1927. The rule has evidently made no impression on those

bent on doing harm to others in Detroit or Flint.

The gun-control debate has subtly shifted away from Newtown even though the president keeps bringing his case back to that atrocity. Nothing that happened in Newtown had anything to do with background checks. No background-check law will ever prevent someone like Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza's mother from buying guns unless the parents of children with autismlike symptoms are to be banned from owning firearms.

The president's push for new gun laws looks, at this juncture, like a complete fizzle. He has failed to sway red-state Democrats and failed to maintain the heightened public support for new gun-control laws.

The most concrete effect of his advocacy has been, if the anecdotal evidence is to be believed, to stoke increased gun purchases on fears that the government wants to ban guns. He set out to lead a great crusade for gun control and ended up the best friend the gun industry ever had.

Family found safe in Everglades MIAMI (AP) — An Ohio family spent a rainy, anxious night in the vast Florida Everglades when their airboat became stuck in vegetation so thick rescuers could not see them from the ground.

Fortunately, the searchers could hear them.

The Schreck family was found safe Friday when rescuers heard them blowing whistles and an air horn.

The father, an avid outdoorsman, said he simply took a wrong turn and got stuck.

“Took a right and couldn’t get the boat turned around,” Scott Schreck, 44, told reporters after he and his family were brought back to dry land. “This is the first time I’ve been out here, so obviously I’m a novice on this body of water. Not the thing to do.”

The family was spotted by a helicopter and eventually rode back to land on the airboat with rescuers.

“We weren’t able to see them, we were only able to hear them,” Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said. “They are in good condition.”

Officials abandoned a plan to hoist the family into a helicopter because of bad weather.

In addition to Scott

Scott Schreck, top right, arrives in an airboat with his family at Everglades Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area in Miami-Dade County, Friday. The Schreck family, consisting of Scott, his wife, Carrie, and their three young sons, from Ohio, spent a rainy, anxious night in the vast Florida Everglades when their airboat became stuck in vegetation so thick rescuers could not see them from the ground.

Schreck, the family includes his 42-year-old wife, Carrie, and three young boys, who were on spring break from Seville, Ohio. They launched the airboat, borrowed from a friend, Thursday morning in

extreme western MiamiDade County but did not return by nightfall.

Law enforcement, fire rescue and wildlife agencies launched a massive search, using helicopters, airplanes

and at least six airboats.

The area covered some 1,000 square miles in three South Florida counties north of Everglades National Park. It is covered in tall, sharp-edged sawgrass and dark cypress tree stands that limit visibility.

It’s also home to alligators, Florida panthers, bears, mosquitos, snakes, turtles, a vast array of birds and fish. Finding anyone lost in such conditions is a challenge, said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Arnold Piedrahita Jr. The boat was painted in camouflage, making it even harder to find.

“It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,” he said.

Although wet and cold, the family appeared to be in good health even after spending the night in the wilderness, which was swept by strong thunderstorms Thursday and more rain Friday. They were checked out by paramedics on shore as a precaution.

Before they got lost, Schreck said they fished for bass and took photos of alligators. After the boat got stuck, Schreck said he built a makeshift lean-to to provide shelter from rain, fired off a flare in the night and had plenty of food and water on hand. The boys slept, he

said, but he and his wife did not.

They began getting worried about their safety but then heard an airboat going back and forth in an obvious search pattern Friday, he said.

Pino said Schreck was a “savvy outdoorsman” who did the right thing by making as much noise as possible.

“If you get into that dense vegetation with an airboat, it’s almost next to impossible to get out,” he said.

Schreck is a golf pro who oversees three courses in northeast Ohio.

“I’m sure he would do it with a cool, calm manner and think of the best possible way to get out of the situation or to survive in a situation until help comes,” said Dominic Antenucci, executive director of the Northern Ohio section of the PGA. Mike Cavey, president of Granite Golf Properties which operates the courses, said Schreck is an experienced outdoorsman and fisherman who hunts ducks in northern Ohio marshes from an airboat.

“So it’s not like a rookie going into the middle of the Everglades and doesn’t know what he’s doing,” Cavey said.

Convicted Amish fight for release duct,” Mullet’s attorney, Edward Bryan, wrote in a March 29 filing. “The manner in which their sentences are being carried out by the Bureau of Prisons is cruel and unusual.”

In their response filed on Friday, prosecutors pointed out that Mullet has unsuccessfully argued to be released five times throughout the case, and cited comments from federal Judge Dan Polster that Mullet showed no remorse for the attacks and “enjoyed receiving prompt reports about the violent assaults, and even received a bag of hair as proof that one such assault was successful.”

The prosecutors also said that as recently as Feb. 8, Polster noted “Mullet’s dangerous hold” on his community and that Mullet had shown “a blatant disregard for the law.”

They rejected that the Amish’s placement in different prisons is cruel and unusual, and said moving him would be a waste of taxpayer money.

The prosecution’s filing does not address other arguments being put forth by the defense that are far broader, largely uncharted territory in the courts and could eventually land in the U.S. Supreme Court, according to attorneys involved in the case and constitutional law professors contacted by The Associated Press.

Defense attorneys for the Amish are attacking the group’s prosecution under the federal hate crime statute, passed in 2009. The statute stipulates that to constitute a federal violation, the crime has to involve crossing state lines or using “an instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce.”

In this case, government prosecutors successfully argued that the scissors and hair clippers were an instrumentality of interstate commerce.

That argument is an abuse of federal power and is unconstitutional, the defense attorneys argue.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Attorneys for a group of Amish men and women found guilty of hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of fellow members of their faith in eastern Ohio are arguing that the group’s conviction, sentencing and imprisonment in separate facilities across the country violates their constitutional rights and amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, according to recent court filings.

The filings in federal court in Akron seek the release of seven of 16 Amish convicted in September in the 2011 attacks that were meant to shame fellow Amish they believed were straying from strict religious interpretations.

Although six of the requests were denied by the trial judge, one is still pending, and the judge could at any time order any of them released as they await the outcome of their appeals, expected to be filed this summer. Defense attorneys may also appeal denials of the release requests to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.

The Amish group’s leader, Samuel Mullet Sr., was sentenced to 15 years in prison, while the rest of the group got sentences ranging from one to seven years.

The Amish have been sent to different prisons across the country, placing an overly harsh burden on their families who because of their religion cannot travel by plane and have to hire drivers for car travel, the group’s attorneys argue.

For instance, in order for Mullet’s wife to visit him and three sons convicted in the case, she’d have to travel to Oklahoma, Louisiana and two different prisons 160 miles apart in Minnesota.

The Amish “are being treated much more harshly than the typical federal prisoner, including those with much worse criminal histories and offense con-

The effort which would kick off this fall with about 15,000 children, would fulfill the county charter’s mandate that county leaders establish a postsecondary scholarship program.

“The county wishes to promote a culture of academic achievement and college success within Cuyahoga County,” the county charter says. The county executive and council replaced a three-commissioner county government amid a lengthy corruption investigation.

FitzGerald said he wanted to create an incentive program for all county children instead of a traditional scholarship.

FitzGerald says 13 percent of county residents have not completed high school and 30 percent have a high school diploma but no college degree.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A proposal to start off every kindergartner in Cleveland and its closest suburbs with a $100 college savings account is expected to be approved by county leaders.

The idea was floated in November by Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald, a Democrat who has indicated he will run for governor.

The Plain Dealer reported that the plan is expected to be approved by the county council this month after a committee spent several months reviewing and

Democratic steelworker to run vs. Boehner CINCINNATI (AP) — A steelworker and union official who introduced President Barack Obama at a campaign rally seven months ago introduced himself Friday as a Democratic candidate in House Speaker John Boehner’s western Ohio district.

Andrew Hounshell, 37, a kickoff planned announcement Friday evening in Middletown, after earlier revealing a campaign website and Twitter account for his 2014 campaign.

“We learn from our mistakes, and one of those is that we know now that voting the same way over and over and expecting our leaders in Washington to start paying attention to the families in their districts instead of the lobbyists in their golf carts isn’t going to happen,” Hounshell said in a statement.

Hounshell is vice president of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers local that represents hourly employees at AK Steel’s (NYSE:AKS) Middletown plant. That union began representing the Middletown workers in 2006 amid a company lockout that lasted more than a year.

He gave a speech introducing President Barack Obama at a September rally in Cincinnati’s Eden Park, but this will be his first run for public office.

The Middletown native says he served in the Army out of high school before going to work at AK Steel, and that he is studying for a degree in labor studies.

He and his wife have 3year-old triplets.

David Kern, Republican Party chairman in Boehner’s home Butler County, said Hounshell joins others who “have jousted at windmills” in the district.

“Congressman Speaker Boehner has done a superb job representing the district, and he has stellar ratings on issues like fiscal conservatism and from organizations like the NRA and Right to Life that mean a lot to people in our area,” Kern said.

Boehner won the Republican-dominated 8th District in 1990 after his GOP primary victory over an incumbent caught in a sex scandal, and he has handily won re-elections since. Boehner, who usually spends much of the campaign season speaking and raising money for other Republican candidates, won nearly 66 percent of the vote in the 2010 general election and had no Democratic opponent last year.

The district begins just south of the 63-year-old Boehner’s West Chester Township home and stretches north along the Indiana border to near Celina in northwest Ohio, and eastward through Springfield and Clark County.

Gender segregation now mandatory in Gaza schools GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Starting with the new school year in September, Gaza boys and girls in middle and high school will be breaking the law if they study side by side.

Gaza’s Islamic militant Hamas rulers argue that the new legislation, mandating gender separation in schools from age 9, enshrines common practice. But women’s activists warned it’s another step in the Hamas agenda of imposing its fundamentalist world view on Gaza’s 1.7 million people.

The Gaza rules appear harsh compared to Western practice but are not unusual in parts of the Arab and Muslim world. In Iraq, for example, boys and girls are required by law to study separately after age 12.

Hamas has been running Gaza since its violent takeover of the crowded coastal territory in 2007.

While the group advocates the establishment of an Islamic state in all of the Mideast, including Israel, it has moved cautiously in spreading its ultra-conservative version of Islam.

It has issued a series of rules restricting women or requiring them to cover up in the traditional Islamic dress of long robes and headscarves.

Other edicts include bans on women smoking water pipes in public, riding on the backs of motorcycles or getting their hair done by male stylists. Last month, it barred girls and women from participating in a U.N.-sponsored marathon, prompting a U.N. aid agency to cancel the race.

Hamas activists, including teachers, have also exerted social pressure to get all school girls to wear Islamic dress.

When faced with public resistance, Hamas tends to refrain from enforcing the rules. It scrapped a 2009 decree requiring female lawyers to wear headscarves in court after women protested.

“In the last six years, Hamas has been going forward and sometimes a step backward because of protests but there is a strategy to implement the

Islamic law in society,” said Mkhaimar Abu Sada, a Gaza political analyst and university lecturer.

In conservative Palestinian society, the idea of gender segregation in schools from the onset of puberty is widely accepted.

Even in the West Bank, run by a more liberal Westernbacked self-rule government, most public schools separate boys and girls by fourth grade.

But in the West Bank, separation is not mandated by law. Instead, it’s up to local authorities to decide according to residents’ sensibilities.

The new Gaza law, approved Monday, deprives teachers and parents of that choice, and in principle imposes segregation on four private schools that have boys and girls studying together into middle or high school. They including three Christian-run schools and the American International School, with a total enrollment of 3,500.

Officials at the schools had no comment on the new law.

A prominent women’s rights group on Tuesday denounced the legislation.

The bill is “based on a culture of discrimination against women, by reinforcing gender separation which takes our society back to ancient times when there was no respect for women’s rights and women were eliminated from public life,” said the Center for Women’s Legal Research and Consulting, Gaza’s only legal aid group for women.

“We warn against issuing law that change Palestinian society,” the group said.

A Gaza education official said the law is in keeping with local mores.

“We are a Muslim society and we all respect our religion,” said Walid Mezher, the Education Ministry’s legal adviser.

“The aim is not to enforce Islam, as some people are saying … It’s simply to honor the traditions and the culture of the society.”

Mezher noted that the education law deals with a host of issues, including improving the standing of teachers. “The law has 60

articles, and the media focused on one footnote?” he said.

Gaza has 690 schools with 466,000 students. Of those, 397 schools are public, 243 are run by a U.N. aid agency for refugees and 46 are private. The U.N. system has separate schools for boys and girls.

In addition to legislation, there has been mounting social pressure on Gaza girls and women to wear headscarves and robes.

Earlier this year, a branch of Al-Aqsa University in the southern town of Khan Younis made it a requirement for all female students to wear robes in addition to headscarves.

Zeinab al-Ghnaimi, head of the women’s legal aid group, said one of her female cousins who studies at the Khan Younis school defies the edict by not wearing a robe, though she does cover her hair with a scarf. Al-Ghnaimi said so far her cousin has faced no repercussions.

In majority Muslim Iraq, the law requires boys and girls in both public and private schools to study separately from age 12, when they enter secondary school. In some schools, segregation begins in elementary school. The law does not ban male teachers from teaching girls, but the Education Ministry prefers female teachers for girls.

In Pakistan, schools are not segregated by law, and boys and girls study together in the lower grades, but they tend to be separated at the start of secondary school.

In Jordan, gender segregation is left up to private and public schools. In 1990, Muslim Brotherhood Cabinet ministers declared a ban on gender mixing in public high schools sports.

It is still in effect.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Do your best to steer clear of the bitter family drama Dear Annie: I've always had a problem with my mother and sister. When I was a child, I often stayed with my grandfather. I loved this man fiercely. He died recently, and the last 10 years of his life were terrible. My mother and aunts rescinded his DNR and disregarded his wishes about life support, forcing him to remain in a partially vegetative state for years.

My sister, "Alice," inserted herself into this drama at every opportunity. She had to be removed from his bedside when she became hysterical and lashed out at the nurses. Alice submitted the death notice to the local paper without checking with anyone. She left out many family members, who are furious and are taking it out on me. My aunt (the executor of the will) has made it clear that I won't get the small tokens my grandfather left me unless I pick sides.

I doubt Alice's grief is genuine.

When I moved away, my aunts paid her to stay with Grandpa, and she told me she was only doing it for the money. My mother and aunts won't set a date for a memorial because they're all so busy trying to hurt each other. Every family function becomes a three-ring circus. How can I grieve for a grandparent who meant the world to me when I'm busy refereeing? — Brokenhearted Dear Brokenhearted: Our condolences on the loss of your grandfather. Please don't focus on how genuine your sister's grief is. If she is behaving for the sake of drama, so be it. And the executor of an estate does not have the legal right to withhold a bequest. You can talk to your grandfather's lawyer about that. We know how upsetting this is for you, but you would be better served by staying out of the family fights with as much diplomatic neutrality and distance as you can muster.

Dear Annie: I hope you will print my "public service" letter for all contractors and building managers: Please place the toilet paper holder in the restrooms high enough that one does not have to bend over to get the toilet paper out.

This is particularly important in handicapped stalls where the paper dispenser tends to be below the handrail. Someone with a back problem will have a great deal of difficulty reaching down to six inches from the floor to get the paper. Thank you. — An Iowa Back Patient Dear Iowa: Ideally, the toilet paper holder should be placed so that the paper (not necessarily the holder) is at elbow height when one is seated.

Dear Annie: You print lots of letters from grandparents who say their kids keep them isolated from their grandchildren. Here's my perspective: In our extended family, we have one grandparent who is an active alcoholic and hoarder (so we can't visit), two who smoke multiple packs a day (so we limit our time), two who think the best entertainment is mocking us (so we limit our children's exposure) and one who believes the Earth revolves around her.

When we had our first child, all six of these grandparents descended on our house at once, stayed for many hours, offered no assistance whatsoever, expected to be waited on hand and foot, and mocked our parenting decisions.

These parents ignore whatever boundaries we set. They aren't abusive, and there are no insurmountable differences. But they don't respect that my spouse and I work long hours and value the limited time we have together.

We don't want to be manipulated, ignored or berated.

If any one of these parents treated us respectfully, we would gladly open our home to them more often.

They say how selfish my generation is, but frankly, we have greatgrandparents with whom we have wonderful relationships because they show respect and understanding.

We go out of our way to make sure they spend time with their great-grandchildren. — Fed Up with Grandparents Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Unwanted magazines can become works of art Dear Heloise: Recently, you had a column on a useful donation to veterans hospitals for recently issued magazines. At the same time, you requested that the magazines be from within the past two months. My experience on the subject is that there are untold piles of decor magazines probably in attics. People do not want to discard them, and church bazaars, thrift shops and such don’t want them. My idea is to have the magazines put to use by very young students in public schools’ art classes using cookie cutters and scissors to create their wonderful works of art.

Even children who cannot draw surely would take delight in

Hints from Heloise Columnist pasting different colors on paper.

In Japan, origami is credited with teaching young children the basics of geometry — squares, circles, rectangles and so on.

Arranging the colored pieces of paper should have the same result. — Elizabeth Hickey, Washington, D.C. Recycle and reuse are good

habits to teach our young students and for us to remember, and passing on magazine pages is a good example of both.

These “ready to throw out” books also can be used as good filler for the new way of scrapbooking, where odds and ends of paper make journals. Yes, using pages from magazines can help people learn math, language and other skills. — Heloise CUSHION CLEANING Dear Heloise: The best way to clean couch cushions is to remove the cover and put them inside a large garbage bag. Hold the vacuum nozzle tight against the cushion and turn the vacuum on. After the vacuum will not

suck any more air, turn it off. The cushion will puff back up and fill out. Put the cover back on. I put a dryer sheet in the bag, and the vacuum sucks the smell right through the cushion. — A Reader, via email A Heloise hint from long ago to freshen cushions, but unfortunately it won’t really “clean” them. Just as using fabric spray to freshen carpets, curtains, furniture or beds will make them smell nice, but it does not clean them. Many college students think spraying their clothes and sheets will suffice because they “smell” clean. Teach your children that clean means soap and water!

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Sunday, April 7, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You feel happy and content with the world today because so much seems to be going your way. And indeed, it is. Alphabetize your blessings.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t promise more than you can deliver in monetary terms to someone in a group situation today. No matter how good something looks, don’t pledge more than you’re willing to give.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You may be viewed as overly extravagant today or as someone who is going overboard in some way. Be careful, because the people who view you are those in authority — bosses, parents, teachers and the police.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Travel plans look exciting! But are they doable? It’s also wonderful to feel enthusiastic about publishing, higher education, the media, medicine and the law. Nevertheless, keep your feet on the ground.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) If dividing or sharing something today, don’t give away the farm. Alternatively, don’t demand more than your fair share. It’s easy to skew things out of proportion today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You feel warm and friendly toward loved ones today, which is why close relationships and partnerships will flow smoothly. Each seems to be looking out for the best for the other. It’s a mutually beneficial situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Things will go smoothly at work today, but just make sure you don’t take on more than you can handle. Only agree to realistic deadlines, then you look good.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You might overdo things partying or attending social functions today. Keep this in mind, because there is always the piper to pay — one way or the other.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Enjoy entertaining at home. For some reason, more people might show up when you don’t expect them. Hot tip: Stock the fridge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Your ability to think positively will make your day today. In fact, enthusiasm is contagious, which is why others are attracted to you now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your moneymaking ideas look great.

But be suspicious of something that looks better than it is. Nevertheless, grab the baton and run with it.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Today you feel positive, confident and extravagant. It’s not a working day, it’s a play day! (Take a long lunch or leave work early.)

YOU BORN TODAY You are energetic, imaginative and forthright about going after what you want. Others find you enthusiastic and eager (if you’re up for something). Many of you are spiritual seekers. You value family and strive to be reliable, but sometimes this is challenging. You believe in yourself. In the year ahead, your primary focus will be on partnerships and close friendships.

in the past.”

Dempsey called the North’s nuclear threat “just reckless” and contrasted such talk with what he described as measured moves by the U.S. to deter the North and to reassure South Korea.

“Our moves have been largely defensive and exclusively intended to reassure our allies,” he said, referring in part to the announcement that a more advanced missile defense system, designed to knock down hostile missiles in the upper atmosphere and beyond, would be deployed to Guam, a U.S. territory in the Pacific that hosts U.S. forces.

The U.S. also has made a point of highlighting aspects of an annual U.S.South Korean military exercise that included a practice bombing run over South Korea by B-2 stealth bombers, as well as flights of B-52 bombers and the presence of F-22 stealth fighter planes. Two of the Navy’s missile-defense ships were positioned closer to the Korean peninsula, and the Pentagon has announced plans to beef up its U.S.-based missile defenses.

Dempsey said he does not foresee any further U.S. military moves in the near future.

Dempsey said he has talked in the past few days to the commander of the 28,500 U.S. troops in Korea, Gen. James Thurman, about the safety of forces and their families. He said Thurman has made no recommendation to evacuate any military dependents.

The U.S. and South Korea have been at odds with North Korea for more than a half century. The two sides fought a three-year war in the 1950s that ended in a truce, and the North has long complained that the U.S. intends to overthrow its leaders.

Washington is treatybound to come to South Korea’s defense if Seoul is attacked.

North Korea responded with fury to U.N. sanctions following its third nuclear test Feb. 12, and to the U.S.South Korean military exercise known as Foal Eagle. Among other statements, it has threatened a nuclear strike against the U.S., declared that it has scrapped the Korean War truce, blocked South Koreans from entering a

Dempsey says North Korean provocations fit long pattern STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — North Korea’s bellicose rhetoric and threats, while worrisome, appear to fit a decadeslong pattern of provocation followed by uneasy peace, the top U.S. military officer said Friday.

“I wouldn’t say I see anything to lead me to believe that this is a different kind of cycle,” Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in an interview after speaking at a ceremony installing Gen. David Rodriquez as chief of U.S. Africa Command.

Dempsey’s remarks suggested that he does not believe the situation is headed toward war, despite a series of threatening statements by the North, including a declaration this week that its military is authorized to launch a nuclear attack on the United States.

Other U.S. officials have said this week they see no North Korean preparations for large-scale military action, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said a missile launch wasn’t unexpected.

“We would not be surprised to see them take such an action,” he told. “We have seen them launch missiles

jointly run industrial park and announced that it will takes new steps to produce more fuel for nuclear bombs.

Despite downplaying the threat of imminent war, Dempsey said there is no room to be casual about the current tensions on the Korean peninsula. He noted, for example, that the North’s threat to launch a nuclear attack on the U.S. “is new” and is worrisome, given the North’s development of ballistic missiles as well as nuclear devices. He said it is not clear that they have reached the point where they can fit a nuclear warhead atop a missile that could reach distant targets.

“The combination of that makes it very reckless” to threaten a nuclear attack, he said.

Asked how the U.S. is dealing with that, he said, “We’ll live up to our alliance obligations and protect our national interests, and that’s not being bellicose, that’s being very matter-offact.”

Dempsey said another troublesome factor is the North’s young leader, Kim Jong Un. He said U.S. officials do not know who in his inner circle influences Kim.

Christ of Latter-Day Saints was organized by Joseph Smith in Fayette, N.Y. In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Shiloh began in Tennessee as Confederate forces launched a surprise attack against Union troops, who beat back the Confederates the next day.

In 1917, Congress approved a

Matisse in museum was once Nazi loot OSLO, Norway (AP) — The family of a prominent Parisian art dealer is demanding that a Norwegian museum return an Henri Matisse painting seized by Nazis under the direction of Hermann Goering, in the latest dispute over art stolen from Jews during World War II. The painting at the center of the dispute, Matisse’s 1937 “Blue Dress in a Yellow Armchair,” depicts a woman sitting in a living room. It has been among the highlights of the Henie Onstad Art Center near Oslo since the museum was established in 1968 through a donation by wealthy art collector Niels Onstad and his wife, Olympic figure-skating champion Sonja Henie.

Museum Director Tone Hansen said it had been unaware the painting was stolen by the Nazis until it was notified of the fact in 2012 by the London-based Art Loss Register, which tracks lost and stolen paintings.

She said Onstad bought the painting in “good faith” from the Galerie Henri Benezit in Paris in 1950.

The Benezit gallery “has no record of collaborating

with the Nazis, as many galleries did,” she said in an interview.

Although the war ended almost 70 years ago, disputes over looted art have become increasingly common in recent years, in part because many records were lost, and in part because an international accord on returning such art was only struck in 1998.

But the case of the Matisse is somewhat different in that its former owner, Paul Rosenberg, was one of the most prominent art dealers in Paris before the war, which he survived by fleeing to New York. Art Loss Register Director Chris Marinello said the records in this case are unusually clear.

According to a biography published by New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Rosenberg was one of the preeminent modern art dealers of his day, and personal friends with Picasso and Matisse, among others.

Art Registry documents show he purchased “Blue Dress” directly from the painter, having noted the purchase in 1937 and put it on display in the same year, Marinello said.

Paris hires sheep to mow city lawns 2379846

PARIS (AP) — Will tourists soon see flocks of baaing sheep at the Eiffel Tower and bleating ewes by Notre Dame cathedral?

That could be the case, since Paris City Hall this week installed a small flock of sheep to mow the lawn at the city’s gardens, replacing gas-guzzling lawnmowers.

Four woolly ewes shipped in from an island off the Brittany coast are munching the grass surrounding Paris Archives building. The number of

sites doing that could expand.

The ovine-operation follows a successful stint last year by two goats that were hired privately by the Louvre to mow the lawn at Tuileries, central Paris’ grand 17th-century gardens.

Motorless and independent, the four-legged workers contentedly munch day and night oblivious of tFrance’s strict 35-hour work week.

A similar experiment in a park outside Paris even

found that sheep droppings were a benefit, bringing swallows back to the area.

“It might sound funny, but animal lawnmowers are ecological as no gasoline is required, and cost half the price of a machine,” said Marcel Collet, Paris farm director. “And they’re so cute.”

Paris City Hall, meanwhile, has big ambitions for its sheep. “I can imagine this very easily in London and New York … even Tokyo,” said Fabienne

Giboudeaux, Paris City Hall’s director of Green Spaces. “And why not have them at the Eiffel Tower?”

The City Hall initiative was inspired by a handful of private French companies that have been hiring sheep and goat lawnmowers for quite some time.

Alain Divo is the director of one such company, Ecoterra, whose goats worked at the Tuileries last summer. He said having animal lawnmowers is great for biodiversity.

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.

Andretti hopes work leads to wins

Fast Recovery If it was up to him, Denny Hamlin’s fractured vertebra in his lower back would not cause him to miss any races.

“I can get in my car right now and go; I feel like I can get in my car right now and win Martinsville,” Hamlin said Wednesday.

But he can’t race this weekend at Martinsville.

He’ll be watching from pit road as Mark Martin drives his car, and that might be the most painful part of the injury that has sidelined Hamlin for the first time in his career.

Take A Gander If Clint Bowyer wins the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Texas and gets to fire the six-shooters that are a Victory Lane tradition there, he plans to lock those trophy guns in a safe when he gets home.

National outdoors retailer Gander Mountain.

Co. said Wednesday it will sponsor Bowyer’s car for the NASCAR Sprint Cup NRA 500 in Texas next week with a paint scheme that includes the words: “With Rights Comes Responsibility; Secure Your Firearms.”

Bowyer, an avid outdoorsman who keeps his guns locked up, said it is “a great message” he fully supports.

AP FILE PHOTO

Driver AJ Allmendinger gets ready for the afternoon session of IndyCar testing at Barber Motorsports Park March 12 in Birmingham, Ala.

Don’t ask questions Allmendinger gets second chance in IndyCar CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — AJ Allmendinger doesn’t know why Roger Penske gave him a second chance.

He doesn’t ask, either.

“He’s a great man, a great man in nature,” Allmendinger said. “But do I feel like I deserve a second chance?

No. Not from him. I brought bad light to his name. Do I feel like I’ve worked hard to get a second chance? Yes. I’ve worked hard every day, put my head down and worked my butt off and I’m lucky enough to have someone like Roger Penske take another shot with me.”

Allmendinger’s next chance comes this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Ala., where he’ll make his IndyCar Series debut more than six years after he last raced in an open-wheel series. He’s driving for Penske Racing as a tuneup to the Indianapolis 500 in the second chance he never thought he’d get when he was fired by the organization last summer.

Hired by Penske that year to drive for his NASCAR team, Allmendinger failed a random drug test hours before the July race at Daytona. He was immediately suspended by NASCAR, and ultimately fired by Penske when his backup “B” sample also tested positive for what Allmendinger has identified as Adderall.

It could have been a career-ender for Allmendinger. But he successfully

completed NASCAR’s “Road to Recovery” program and was reinstated in September. Penske stayed in touch with him the entire time, and brought him out to the IndyCar season finale at Fontana last September as his guest.

Why? Because Allmendinger had earned a spot in the Penske organization in just six months.

“As we built our team over the years, drivers become part of the family,” Penske said. “All of us have had issues as we’ve grown up, and I think this is a situation that was unfortunate. The rules are the rules, and I think we stepped back and said, ‘OK, he had to go through NASCAR probation.’

“But I felt like this opportunity for him, where we got a sponsor for him for Indy, was an opportunity to get him back up at a level where he needed to be to carry on his career,” he said. “It was an easy decision. We are trying to rally around him.”

Penske hasn’t always been so forgiving with his drivers. After all, Paul Tracy was shown the door when he tested the team owner’s patience.

When asked the difference between Tracy, who coincidentally has been a mentor at times to Allmendinger, and Penske’s reclamation project, Penske snickered.

“I think Paul — some of that was his own doing,” Penske said. “There’s a few guys who don’t graduate. I just

want you to realize one thing: We don’t have an environment where nobody can’t fail. Just remember that. Put that clear. We don’t have an environment where no one fails.”

So Allmendinger gets his second chance, and he desperately doesn’t want to fail.

He left Champ Car after a successful five-win season in 2006 when an opportunity opened in NASCAR and, until now, he never looked back.

All the money was in NASCAR and the future of open-wheel racing in America was shaky at best.

But Allmendinger has a respect for the talent level in IndyCar, for the drivers he competed against long ago.

His participation in Sunday’s race will draw some NASCAR fans to the viewing audience, and Allmendinger expects them to be impressed.

“I guess NASCAR fans don’t know a lot of the names in the field, but that’s because of marketing. Trust me, there are no scrubs in this series, these guys are so quick,” Allmendinger said. “So now I’m here trying to manage expectations. But right now, I would love just to get through the first round of qualifying.

“I know people are going to be watching me, and I think it’s going to be cool to bring some of those NASCAR fans over to notice the series and get them to say, ‘Hey, that’s some great racing.’ I want IndyCar to be strong and it has a place in this country. It just needs to be noticed.”

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Marco Andretti thinks people have the wrong idea about his comfort level with the status quo.

The scion of one of the great racing families insists his desire to win isn’t at all diminished by the apparent job security of working for his father, Michael Andretti, at Andretti Autosport.

In fact, Andretti spent the offseason examining what was holding him back in IndyCar and worked with a coach overseas.

“Just one win every couple of years is not enough for me, obviously,” Andretti said Friday. “I’m very competitive. I just want people to know I’m not going home satisfied. I’m not going home happy. And I shouldn’t. That’s often a misperception of me is exactly that. I’m not happy until we are in victory circle on a regular basis. We’ve been knocking on the door.

We’ve been leading the wrong laps, though.”

Andretti certainly knocked on the door with a third-place finish in the season opener at St. Petersburg, his first top-five finish on a street course since Toronto in 2011.

Perhaps he can check off one key goal of the offseason work: Improving in street races.

Andretti enters Sunday’s Indy Grand Prix of Alabama with renewed confidence after a performance that “almost felt like a win.”

The 26-year-old son and grandson of former greats Michael and Mario Andretti, respectively, isn’t trying to ride his famous racing name, but build on it.

Why do people think he might be content to be just OK? “Because I drive for my dad. Simple as that,” Andretti said Monday while eating barbecue and deviled eggs at a downtown restaurant. “Driving for dad, it can be the best possible scenario when we’re winning but if we’re not, the easiest thing to say is I’m there because of obvious reasons.

My dad is probably my toughest critic in the world and people don’t know that.

He’d be the first one to tell you, he might overcompensate the other way within the team. I’d be the first one on the street if he didn’t believe I’d perform.”

Power looking for answers to the hard questions CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Will Power returned to Fontana last December, yearning to know why he had crashed in the IndyCar season finale. He hopped into a street car and drove around Auto Club Speedway to the exact spot that cost him the championship.

“I got out and looked at the track because when it happened, it almost felt like something broke, there was no warning there,” Power said. “But I got out. I looked

at the seams. I ran around. I drove around with my engineers. I don’t know. I just crashed.”

It’s the soul-searching that wears on Power because there are no easy answers to the hard questions.

He doesn’t know why IndyCar’s most dominant driver the last three seasons came up empty each time in the championship race. He doesn’t know why fluke things always seem to happen to him to derail days

that should be effortless.

And he doesn’t know why everyone seems to think he’s plagued by a streak of crazy bad luck.

“The worst luck ever?

I’m trying to understand why people say that about me,” Power said this week.

Maybe because it was on full display in the IndyCar season opener at St. Petersburg two weeks ago when Power clearly had the most dominant car in the field — so good that rival team owner David

Letterman jokingly grumbled on live television that Power needed to get off the gas a little to turn it into a real race. But in one of those bizarre moments that only seems to happen to Power, he was run over from behind under caution by JR Hildebrand, who said he was distracted by his knobs in his cockpit while getting ready for a restart.

When Hildebrand later went to apologize for ruining Power’s race, he was surprised to find Power

wasn’t angry after finishing 16th.

“I don’t even get angry anymore. It happened and I’m just like, ‘Surprise, surprise, I just got run over, let’s go check the damage,’” Power said. “There’s just nothing you can do it about it, man. I’ve sort of come to the conclusion that every road and street course I am usually the quickest car and I qualify either on pole, first or second. So when something happens to me, it is magnified.

Swinging away McAuley offense solid in win over Troy

BY COLIN FOSTER Associate Sports Editor colinfoster@civitasmedia.com It didn’t matter where Troy pitcher Amber Smith was throwing the ball — McAuley was getting a piece of it.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Matt Moore pitched six sharp innings and Ben Zobrist drove in three runs to lead the Tampa Bay Rays over the Cleveland Indians 4-0 on Friday night.

Moore (1-0) limited the Indians to a pair of hits by Michael Bourn, walked two and struck out eight. The 23-year-old left-hander retired his final eight batters and came out after 100 pitches.

Zobrist, who has driven in a team-leading seven runs in four games, did most of the damage against Zach McAllister (0-1) with a pair of doubles.

Bourn reached on an infield single in the first and doubled into the left-field corner in the third. Only two other runners reached base against Moore, who walked Mike Aviles in the third and Michael Brantley in the fourth.

Jake McGee and Brandon Gomes each worked a perfect inning for the Rays. Joel Peralta finished the two-hitter with a 12-3 ninth.

The Indians, who were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position, struck out 11 times and didn’t have a baserunner after the fourth inning.

Reds pound Nationals, 15-0 CINCINNATI (AP) — Todd Frazier and Zack Cozart each homered twice, and the Reds hit six in all including Xavier Paul’s pinch grand slam while sending the Washington Nationals to a 15-0 defeat Friday night, their first loss this season and their worst loss since returning as a team.

It was their most lopsided loss since baseball returned to Washington in 2005, topping a 15-1 defeat to Detroit on June 19, 2007, according to STATS LLC. Washington had been the last major league team without a loss this season.

The Reds improved to 3-1 even though their top hitters

haven’t done much.

Cincinnati has nine homers in the last two games, but none by Joey Votto or Jay Bruce.

Dan Haren (0-1) had a rough time in his Nationals debut, giving up four homers and six runs in four innings.

The right-hander signed a one-year, $13 million deal in the offseason, joining a formidable pitching staff that allowed only one run during the first three games of the season.

Homer Bailey (1-0) gave up two hits in six scoreless innings. The right-hander hasn’t allowed a run in his last 19 regular-season innings, a streak that

includes his no-hitter in Pittsburgh on Sept. 28. He gave up a run during the playoffs.

The series matches the NL’s top two teams from last season. Washington led with 98 wins, followed by the Reds with 97. The teams have a history of close games four of their last eight had gone to extra-innings.

This one quickly turned into a rout in one of the majors’ most homer-friendly ballparks. The Reds hit connected in every way three solo shots, a two-run homer, AP PHOTO a three-run homer and a Cincinnati Reds’ Jay Bruce hits a double grand slam.

Different styles on display in UM-Syracuse ATLANTA (AP) — Syracuse is brimming with confidence, largely because of its suffocating style when the other team has the ball.

Next up, a guy who knows a thing or two about breaking down opposing defenses.

Trey Burke, meet the Orange Crush.

The Final Four semifinal between Syracuse and Burke’s Michigan team will present a clear contrast in styles Saturday night the Orange, a veteran group that is perfectly content to settle into their octopus-like zone, vs. the brash young Wolverines, who love to run, run, run and have been compared to those Fab Five squads of the early 1990s.

Clearly taking to heart the adage that offense wins fans but defense wins championships, Syracuse sounded like a team that fully expects to be playing in the title game at the Georgia Dome.

“It’s going to take them a

while to adjust to the zone,” junior guard Brandon Triche said Friday, a day when all four teams got a chance to practice in the cavernous, 70,000-seat stadium that is normally home of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.

The Michigan players quickly got wind of the comments coming from Syracuse’s media session.

“It sounds like cockiness,” said guard Tim Hardaway Jr., son of the former NBA star. “But it’s not going to come down to just talent or who has the biggest players.

It’s going to come down to heart and passion.”

Having a player such as Burke doesn’t hurt, either.

The Associated Press player of the year already came up huge in the regionals, leading the Wolverine back from a 14-point deficit against Kansas with less than 7 minutes remaining.

He knocked down a long 3pointer at the end of regulation to tie the game, then finished off the upset of the

But Burke has never played against a defense quite like this.

“We’ve just got to try to find different ways to attack the zone,” the sophomore guard said. “They play a really good 2-3. It’s tough.

Ware makes Cardinals the people’s choice ATLANTA (AP) — Louisville already had the bigger names, the better team and some unfinished business after coming up short in last year’s Final Four.

All Wichita State had was the cute-and-cuddly underdog angle. Now the Shockers don’t even have that.

Kevin Ware is everybody’s favorite player since he broke his leg in gruesome fashion last weekend yet summoned the strength to encourage his teammates, and having him at the Final Four has given the top-seeded Cardinals (33-5) added motivation to claim the title that eluded them last year.

“We really want it, especially since we’re back here for a second year,” Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear said Friday. “With Kevin going down, especially the way he did, it’s just making us play harder.”

Louisville plays Wichita State (30-8) in the first national semifinal tonight.

The Cardinals are 10-point favorites.

Wichita State has one player (Carl Hall) who salvaged his career after working in a light bulb factory and two more (Ron Baker and Malcolm Armstead) who paid their way to come to school and started on the team as walk-ons. Its coach has invited fans into the locker room after big wins.

Yes, this is a school with all the makings of a team the

entire country could get behind.

Problem is, in this case, Louisville and Ware are already tugging on America’s heart strings.

“I’m just glad to know Kevin Ware now even more because he’s probably the most famous person I know,” Peyton Siva cracked.

“You know, when you have Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama call you, it’s pretty good to say you know that person.”

Louisville’s trip to last year’s Final Four was something of a surprise, coming after the Cardinals skidded into the Big East tournament just two games over .500. So when they got to the NCAA tourney and finally got bounced by archrival and top-ranked Kentucky in the national semifinals, it wasn’t a shock.

Or a huge disappointment.

This year, however, the Cardinals and everyone else expect Louisville to win it all.

“I think that’s the one difference from last year to this year,” Chane Behanan said. “Last year, I don’t want to say it was a fluke because we were a great basketball team. This year is just totally different. We have the No. 1 seed. It’s a lot of pressure with everyone expecting us to win.”

Until Ware got hurt, the Cardinals seemed immune to the pressure and the expectations, to say nothing of letdowns.

OSU’s Thomas to enter NBA Draft

We’ve got to make sure we knock down uncontested 3s.”

The zone is usually viewed as more of a passive

defense.

Not the way Syracuse plays it.

Coach Jim Boeheim has assembled a bunch of guys with impressive size and surprising quickness. When they’re all working together waving those long arms and moving back and forth in unison, like the ocean lapping at the shore it can be tough to get an open jumper and nearly impossible to work the ball inside.

Syracuse (30-9) has taken its trademark D to new levels of stinginess in the NCAA tournament.

The Orange has surrendered a paltry 45.75 points per game, holding Montana (34), top-seeded Indiana (50) and Marquette (39) to their lowest scoring totals of the season. Overall, Syracuse’s four tournament opponents have combined to shoot just 28.9 percent from field (61 of 211) and 15.4 percent from 3-point range (14 of 91).

None of those teams had a player like Burke.

COLUMBUS — Forward Deshaun Thomas will forego his final season of eligibility at Ohio State and will enter the NBA draft.

Thomas finishes his Buckeyes career ninth on the school’s all-time scoring list. He averaged 19.8 points and 5.9 rebounds this season as the Buckeyes landed in the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament.

“My three years at Ohio State have been the best years of my life,” Thomas said. “I have grown tremendously as an individual and as a basketball player. I intend to return to finish my degree, but I believe that now is the best opportunity to pursue my dream and begin my career as a professional basketball player.”

Ohio State went 29-8 this season. In three years, Thomas helped lead the Buckeyes to 94 victories, three NCAA tournament appearances and a Final

F o u r a p p e a rance in 2012.

T h e Buckeyes also won Big Ten regularseason titles in THOMAS 2011 and 2012 and earned a pair of league tournament titles in 2011 and 2013.

“To see Deshaun grow into the man he has become has been amazing,” Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. “His accomplishments on the floor speak for themselves but I am just as proud of him and what he has done off the floor. We recruited him offering the opportunity to grow as a person and player and that is exactly what happened.

“I know there is much more in-store for him in the future and I am proud to have been able to coach him.”

Trojans

Roundup ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 New Bremen 5-0.

“Solid win,” said Covington coach Dean Denlinger. “They’re a solid team who will win a lot of games and we pretty much shut them down.”

New Bremen only managed three hits on the afternoon thanks to the pitching of Casey Yingst and another error-free effort by the Bucc defense.

“Casey was in pretty good control,” Denlinger said. “She struck out 14 batters and gave up two walks against a solid team.

We played good defensively behind her too.”

Jessie Shilt went 2 for 3 with a triple, two RBI and two stolen bases, while Connor Schaffer went 2 for 3 as well with a triple and a double.

Heidi Snipes tripled for Covington, while Morgan Arbogast had an RBI double and Haley Adams connected on another double for the Buccs.

Bradford 11, Fairlawn 1 Bradford pitcher Haley Patty struck out nine and allowed three hits to help her team to an 11-1 runrule of Fairlawn Friday night.

Troy’s Victoria Adams swings away Friday.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 in on a single by Morgan Wells on the next at-bat to give the Mohawks an early 2-0 lead. Megan Suer gave McAuley a 3-0 lead in the top of the second with an RBI single.

Kelsey started a twoout rally in the third with a double. From there, the Mohawks got three hits in a row, with Mackenzie Anderson’s double scoring two runs and giving her team a 5-0 lead.

It was time for the Trojans to stage a little two-out magic of their own in the bottom of the third.

Alex Wilt — who finished the game with two hits and an RBI — singled with two outs in the inning.

Smith came up and smacked a double to left field to score Wilt for Troy’s first run.

But McAuley countered with a three-run fourth inning, which was assisted by two Troy errors. Smith was pulled by coach Megan Campbell with one out left in the inning, leaving sophomore pitcher Mackenzie Vernon to finish the job on the mound.

To her credit, Vernon only allowed five hits and two earned runs for the rest of the game — but by that point, the damage already had been done.

“They hit the ball, they were hitters, and even when I pulled Amber (Smith) out the umpire said to me ‘the pitcher’s stuff was working. She

• Baseball Tippecanoe 7, Wayne 4 DAYTON — Ben Hughes entered the game with one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh and forced a double play, earning the save as the Tippecanoe Red Devils took down Wayne 74 Friday night at Fifth Third Field in Dayton.

Hughes also went 3 for 4 with an RBI and had four stolen bases to spark the Tipp offense. Catcher B.J. Donathan had a big day, going 2 for 2 with a double and two RBIs, Austin Clack had a triple and Zach Robbins added a double.

Calhoun Steven improved his pitching record to 2-0 on the season.

The Red Devils are back in action today, hosting Troy at 10:30 a.m., before taking on Miamisburg later in the day.

Troy’s Allison Pierce runs the bases during a game against McAuley Friday at Kyle Park in Tipp City. threw a good game, they just hit everything she pitched,’” Campbell said. “I think sometimes, you have teams who can hit, then I thought Mackenzie Vernon came in and did a good job.

There’s a speed difference, and she’s got a lot of movement on her pitches, and that was harder for McAuley to handle than speed was.”

The Trojans scored their final run in the bot-

tom of the seventh. Rainey Rolfs singled with two outs, then was driven home on an RBI double by Wilt.

Troy returns to action with a pair of games today in Tipp City. First, the Trojans will take on Newton at 9 a.m., followed by a game against Milford at 11 a.m.

“Our girls have good perseverance, and they just have the ability to

bounce back,” Campbell said. “We’re taking two (today), that’s it. That’s what we’re coming to do.

They’re going to be ready, we’ll be ready — and it’s on.”

McIlroy in hunt at Texas Open The misstep dropped McIlroy to 1 under, but he rebounded with key putts on the final three holes for birdies and pulled well within reach of the leaders entering the weekend.

“It was a good way to finish,” McIlroy said. “It will definitely make dinner taste a little nicer tonight and give me a couple of more hours in bed tomorrow morning.”

The 23-year-old twotime major winner is three shots back of Horschel, who birdied his last two holes to post his second straight 4-under 68.

A group of three players Daniel Summerhays, Charley Hoffman and Steven Bowditch are two shots back at 6 under,

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Rory McIlroy didn’t anticipate an encounter with the native plant life when he signed up for the Texas Open.

Despite just such a happening on Friday, the world’s No. 2 golfer matched the low round of the day with a 5-under par 67 and moved within three shots of leader Billy Horschel, continuing his last-minute preparations for next week’s Masters.

McIlroy, who decided to play in the tournament late last week, had seven birdies including his final three holes and overcame a bogey on No. 9 after driving into the rough and catching his left shin on a nearby cactus.

the day 2 for 3 with three RBIs, Jayde Mead was 1 for 2 with an RBI and Patty went 1 for 2 with two walks and an RBI. Bradfords (2-2) has a game double header with Lehman today.

while McIlroy is tied with six others at 5 under.

Thursday’s co-leaders, Matt Bettencourt and Peter Tomasulo, each shot 1-over 73s and fell four shots off the lead.

Bettencourt went as low as 8 under in the surprisingly calm Texas weather on Friday morning before falling back after a stretch of three bogeys in four holes once the wind picked up ever-so slightly.

Summerhays also reached as low as 7 under before falling back with a bogey on No. 9, but it was Horschel who separated himself with his late flurry.

Horschel jumped from 60th to 24th on the money

list after a second-place finish at last week’s Houston Open. He closed out Thursday’s round with a birdie, and he one-upped that on Friday closing with a pair of 11-foot birdie putts on No. 17 and 18 to vault into first.

“Today, I knew there was not going to be very much wind, so you had to take advantage of this golf course,” Horschel said. “I warmed up really well; probably hit the best I have on the range in a month-and-a-half before a round.”

He needed 28 putts on Friday after taking only 25 a day earlier, but Horschel hit 11 of 14 fairways after hitting only seven a day earlier.

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Cincinnati had 19 hits, including a single by reliever Manny Parra. The Reds finished with more homers than the Nationals had hits (5).

Frazier hit a solo shot into the upper deck in the second inning. On the next pitch, Cozart broke his 0-for11 slump to start the season with a homer that a fan caught at the top of the wall in left field. Nationals manager Davey Johnson talked to the umpires about fan interference, but they declined to review it and stuck with the call.

It would be that kind of a night for the Nationals.

Cozart hit a three-run homer off Haren in the third, giving him two homers in three pitches from the right-hander. It was his first career multihomer game.

Shin-Soo Choo added a solo homer in the fourth that barely cleared the wall in center as a fan reached to catch it. Johnson asked for a

review of that one and got it.

Three minutes, 39 seconds later, the umpires upheld their call.

Cozart got his careerhigh fifth RBI on a sacrifice fly. Frazier added a two-run homer in the seventh, his third in two games. Paul’s pinch-hit grand slam off Henry Rodriguez made it 14-0.

The Reds have gotten plenty of power even though cleanup hitter Ryan Ludwick is out for at least half a season with a major shoulder injury and Votto and Bruce have started slowly.

NOTES: The Reds will honor Johnson with a gift on the field before Saturday’s game. Johnson managed the Reds to a division title and the NL championship series in 1995, but former owner Marge Schott replaced him with Ray Knight. The Reds didn’t win another division title until 2010 under Dusty Baker.

Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 Two of Tampa Bay’s four runs off McAllister were unearned.

Cleveland’s starter allowed six hits, walked none and struck out three over six innings.

Sam Fuld led off the Tampa Bay fourth with a single and scored on

Zobrist’s double down the right-field line. Yunel Escobar drove in Zobrist from third with a grounder to shortstop to make it 2-0.

A two-out fielding error

by Aviles at third opened the door for the Rays to add two more runs on Zobrist’s fifth-inning double.

Cavs end 10-game skid vs. Boston BOSTON (AP) — Tristan Thompson had career highs with 29 points and 17 rebounds and the Cleveland Cavaliers ended a 10-game losing streak with a 97-91 victory over the Boston Celtics on Friday.

Alonzo Gee also had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who held Boston to 16 points in the third quarter and held on for their first win since March 12.

The Cavaliers avoided their 11th straight loss, which would have been the second-longest streak under coach Byron Scott.

Wayne Ellington scored 12 points and Kyrie Irving added 11 points for Cleveland in his third game back since missing eight with a sprained shoulder.

The Celtics played without team captain Paul

Pierce, who was out with a sore ankle.

The move may have cost the slumping Celtics. Boston has dropped eight of 11 and is clinging to the seventh playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Jeff Green scored 23 points for Boston and Shavlik Randolph had 16 points before fouling out with 6:57 left in the fourth.

Brandon Bass scored 12 and Avery Bradley had 10 points for Boston.

Cleveland outrebounded Boston 58-42 and outscored the Celtics in the paint 5238.

The Cavaliers hadn’t won since beating Washington 95-90. They held a 14-point lead against the Celtics last week in Cleveland before Boston rallied and won on Green’s layup at the buzzer.

Cleveland held on to this

lead firmly. The Celtics never recovered after going without a field goal for more than 5 minutes in the third quarter.

Cleveland held Boston to 16 points in the third period, going 6 for 22 from the floor.

The Celtics started the period well with a 10-3 run for a 62-55 lead, then went without a field goal for the next 5:18. Cleveland outscored Boston 13-1 during the span with the Celtics’ only point coming on a free throw made by Randolph with 4:45 left in the third.

It was Randolph’s 14th point of the game, but he missed on his second free throw attempt then had to go to the bench barely a minute later when he was called for his fifth foul.

Thompson made both foul shots to put the Cavaliers up 68-63 with 3:19 left in the period.

Jordan Crawford’s 3pointer with 32 seconds left somewhat salvaged a dismal period for the Celtics, who trailed 74-68 entering the fourth.

The Cavaliers scored the first eight points of the fourth, including a pair of free throws by C.J. Miles after taking a flagrant foul from Jason Terry at midcourt. Boston never got closer than four points the of the way.

Notes: Thompson’s career high in points is 27 against the Nets last March. His rebounding high was 16 against Houston in January. … The Celtics were without Kevin Garnett, who missed his eighth straight game because of inflammation in his left ankle. … The Cavaliers outrebounded the Celtics 28-21 in the first half, playing to a 52-all tie after two periods.
