Bees hold off pair of rallies Had it not been for two Bethel insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning, the first meeting between the Bees and the Milton-Union Bulldogs may have been a different story. The Bulldogs tried to rally back in the bottom half but came up 90 feet short, stranding the tying runner at third base in an 8-7 loss in the opening game of a doubleheader Saturday. See

Married for nearly 51 years, Bill and Connie Miller’s courtship began after a surprisingly successful blind date — one they had both been dreading. And Saturday morning at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, the Troy couple experienced yet another pleasant surprise: winning the Strawberry Festival Golden Couple Contest after starting off in last place. “If you can recall way back at STAFF PHOTO/ANTHONY WEBER John Blythe of Brandt throws a line in while fishing Wednesday morning at Twin Arch Reserve.

Bowling ■ CONTINUED FROM A1 in a row during the tournament at Troy Bowl. “I love it! This is awesome! What a great day!” Berry said after knocking down pin after pin. Berry racked up strike after strike as one of 47 members of The Arc of Miami County participants. Steve Bigelow, manager of Troy Bowl, said hosting the tournament has been a tradition for 27 years for the locally owned and operated bowling alley. “We love getting people in here that we haven’t seen in a while who like to participate for the Strawberry Festival,” Bigelow said. Rex and Jan Bigelow, owners of Troy Bowl and active members of the Troy Strawberry Festival committees, host the annual bowling tournament as a fun way to get community members
involved with a pre-festival activity that can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels. “It’s a way for us to support the Strawberry Festival. Seeing teams like The Arc of Miami County out here, who have leagues aside from this, makes it fun for them to participate as part of the tournament, so we put it all together,” Bigelow said. The Arc of Miami County, including Marsha Cain, participated in the “9 is Fine” style game Saturday afternoon. Participants only had to knock nine pins down to count as a strike as part of their tournament points. “I like playing ‘9 is Fine,’” Cain said. “I’ve played three games and this is the last one.” “We’ve never seen so many strikes before,” Bigelow said with a grin.”This is their favorite
game — they love it.” Rosemary Saunders and Phyllis White, coordinators for The Arc of Miami County, said Troy Bowl invited their participants to be part of the Strawberry Festival Bowling Tournament last year. The organization participates in a league and also enters their scores as part of the official festival tournament. “Our people really enjoy it and the people at Troy Bowl asked if we’d be part of it and we said, ‘Of course!’” White said. “It’s a good chance to get together and have fun and to say they were part of a Strawberry Festival event,” Saunders said. “They really have a ball out there.” Jason McCabe of Troy also racked up a turkey Saturday afternoon with his teammates. “I love it out here,” McCabe said. “I want to try
it again — nine pins is a lot easier than 10.” The Bob Rupert Memorial Strawberry Festival bowling tournament has mixed doubles and singles with the “9 is Fine” style game. First place is $500 based on 200 entries and second place is $250. The tournament is spread out over several weekends. Strawberry Festival Chairman Jon Dankworth, along with co-chairwoman Kathi Roetter and her husband Eric, watched The Arc of Miami County bowl Saturday afternoon from the snack bar. “This is just great to watch and see how excited they are,” Dankworth said. “Jan and Rex Bigelow (owners of Troy Bowl) have been so generous and been great to work with on various committees with the festival over the years.”
Dankworth said he, too, bowled as part of the tournament last Sunday, but conveniently could not recall his score. “This is a great pre-festival event for anyone to experience,” Dankworth said. “I hope more people step out and experience one or more of these pre-festival events, which are special and unique for our community.” Roetter said she hopes more businesses and companies participate in next year’s Strawberry Festival bowling tournament to “strike” up a few friendly rivalries in the community. “It’s a great thing for a company to try to do as a social event and come out to support and be part of the festival all at the same time,” Roetter said.

Connie quipped. Bill and Connie were set up on a blind date by her sister and his college friend, who were dating at the time. Both were reluctant to follow through. “Neither one of us wanted to go. We were supposed to go before but had both made up excuses, and we couldn’t come up with another reason, so we just went,” Bill recalled. The chemistry was instant for Bill, they said, but it took Connie a little longer to realize he was “the one.” Bill proposed after 11 months of dating. “We were on I-75 going to a Reds game and she was in the passenger’s seat and couldn’t get out — and I told her to take a look in the glove compartment,” Bill said with a smile, referring to an engagement ring. He added, “The Reds played the Braves that night, I think.” Connie shrugged. “I have no idea who played. It was just another game for me.” They both grinned. Other contestants included Paul and Betty Schaffner, Bill and Ruth Ann Shafer, Grover and Rose Strawsburg, Roger and Alice Yount and Charles and Becky Riley.

Dollars for Scholars Scholarship fundraising under way TROY – Troy’s Dollars for Scholars program, now in its 47th year, is in the midst of its annual fund-raising effort. Due to the community’s generosity, the nonprofit organization has awarded more than $900,000 in scholarships to high school seniors over the years. Troy’s DFS is a chapter affiliate of Scholarship America, a nonprofit student aid service organization with approximately 1,200 chapters in 41 states. The scholarships are for graduating seniors who reside in Troy and plan to attend a fouryear college. “Through Dollars for Scholars, we have the opportunity to make a strong collective statement about the importance of education beyond high school,” said Jennifer Walters, DFS board president. “We can provide both encouragement and financial support for local students, especially during these tough economic times

FFA donates trees to students The Miami East FFA Chapter recently donated trees to every fourth grader in the Miami East Local School District. This was a special project of the Environmental Committee of the FFA. In an effort to help repopulate Ohio with trees, each student was given one
CASSTOWN pine tree in the hopes that they would plant it. FFA members realize that farmers and ranchers provide food and habitat for 75 percent of the nation’s wildlife. Not only will the trees provide cover for wildlife in the
area, they also will produce quality oxygen. Participating in this project were Hannah Davis, Braxton Donaldson, Eliza Hershberger, Samantha Sands and Emily Johnson. The trees were a project with the Miami County Soil and Water Conservation District.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Ottawa (Ontario) Citizen on homegrown terrorists: We have known for some time that Canadians were among the attackers of an Algerian gas plant back in January. Now, CBC has reported the names of two of them: Xris Katsiroubas and Ali Medlej, two young men who grew up in London, Ontario. The fact that this attack didn’t happen on Canadian soil should be of little comfort to Canadians. We failed to prevent an international terrorist movement from recruiting our young men, and we failed to prevent them from taking human life, in a particularly cruel hostagetaking. Al-Qaeda-style terrorism is not a foreign entity we can keep out at the border. It’s here, and the response must be here as well as overseas. There’s a difficult balance to strike between effective intelligence and surveillance on the one hand, and respect for fundamental civil liberties on the other. Intelligence agencies and police should ask questions, but at a certain frequency or level of aggression, asking questions becomes harassment. We must share information with other countries, but carefully, knowing that information has consequences and bad information can be fatal. After 2001, Canada made several egregious mistakes — cases such as Maher Arar’s and Abdullah Almalki’s come to mind. The answer to global terrorism is not to hand Canadians over to torture states because they happen to know someone who’s fallen under suspicion, or because somebody has a hunch. We have a responsibility to the rest of the world, though, to do our utmost to track the movements of cells within Canada while respecting the letter and spirit of constitutional rights. We have a responsibility to try to prevent Canadians from carrying out attacks in other countries — a moral responsibility, and also a self-interest, because destabilizing forces anywhere can become regional problems, which can become international problems, which can become wars in which Canadians fight and die. And, of course, there is domestic safety to consider, too; homegrown terrorists do not always plan their attacks overseas. The Star, Toronto, on Harper government is right to engage with the Arab world: Given the sheer length and scope of his Mideast tour, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird seems to have a thin agenda. So far he has upgraded our diplomatic presence in Iraq, thrown a bit of money Jordan’s way to cope with Syrian refugees and smoothed over a spat with the United Arab Emirates over aircraft landing rights. He has also dodged questions about Canadians in a terror attack in Algeria. Unless he springs some big surprise on the Israeli or Palestinian leg of his travels, even supporters of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government may be tempted to write off the trip as a yawn. Still, considering Canada’s frayed relations in much of the Middle East, where the Conservatives have been criticized for seeing the region through an obsessively Israel-focused prism, it’s good to see Baird paying at least token attention to Arab issues to “expand our engagement” on his 12-day trip, even if Canadian commercial interests and Israel’s security concerns remain uppermost in his mind. The Arab Spring has transformed, and destabilized, entire countries such as Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. Syria is in flames. … During Baird’s unexpected visit to Iraq, he met Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and named Stephanie Duhaime to be our permanent chargé d’affaires in Baghdad. That gives us diplomatic eyes on the ground in a key country with which we have had few dealings for the past decade, and should help Canadian firms win contracts as Iraq expands its oil industry. Iraq already is our major regional economic partner, with $4 billion in two-way trade. In Jordan, Baird met King Abdullah and pledged $13 million more in aid to help the kingdom cope with 470,000 Syrians displaced by the two-year civil war. … Given Harper’s vocal support for Israel, Baird can expect a warm welcome from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu early next week. But Arab eyes will be on Baird’s meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank, where Canada’s $300-million aid package expires this week. The successful Palestinian push for more recognition at the UN, opposed by Israel, has irritated the Harper government and put a renewal of aid in doubt.

Homemade hats honoring show under legal fire A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he’s not afraid of anything. Especially not 20th Century Fox. Back in 2002, there was a brilliant yet ill-fated show on Fox called Firefly, which, despite not even making it through one full season before getting canceled by the network, created the single greatest universe in all of science fiction. Yes, including Star Wars and Star Trek. Even with a rabid following of fans who refer to themselves as “Browncoats” — a group of which I am (obviously) a card-carrying member — the show didn’t perform ratings-wise the way Fox would have liked, largely due to the way the network mishandled the packaging, promoting and actual airing of the show. After airing the series out of order, interfering with the writers and production crews constantly and not even airing three episodes that were in the can, the network pulled the plug — a terrible decision that no fan of the show has ever forgiven, even after the amazing 2005 movie, Serenity. In one of those unaired episodes, The Message, the gruff, angry bruiser/killer/mercenary named Jayne receives a gift in the mail from his
Josh Brown Sunday Columnist mother — a ridiculous orange-andyellow hand-knitted cap. Even with its silly ear flaps, its goofy yarn ball atop it and the entire crew of the ship making fun of him for it, Jayne defiantly wears the hat and quietly loves it. For years now, Browncoats — which, oddly enough, is the name given to the freedom fighters opposed to the Alliance in the show’s universe — have made those hats for themselves, and thanks to websites like Etsy.com, they’ve been able to sell those homemade hats to fellow Firefly fans. Until now. Fox, which sadly still owns the rights to the Firefly intellectual property despite not actually doing or having any plans to do anything with it, found out that someone was
making money on something that had a cursory relationship to something stashed in its basement. And Fox is doing what any bloatedly-rich corporate behemoth would do to the little guy in this awful world we live in — trying to cut them to pieces and sew their remains into its own skin like a mindless horde of reavers. These small-time sellers that have been crafting these homemade gems themselves for years are now receiving cease-and-desist letters from Fox’s lawyers. And with a website called ThinkGeek.com selling officially-licensed, mass-produced versions of the hat, Browncoats have taken their frustrations out on it and even blamed it for Fox’s recent actions. Whether ThinkGeek.com is lying in its claims of not being involved with Fox is yet to be seen. Sure, Fox is probably within its legal rights to do such a thing, but why take the time and effort? The only reason Firefly has the massive cult following it does today is because the fans have kept it alive on their own. After killing the show prematurely, Fox hasn’t shown the slightest inkling of caring about it or the fans since — except for lording the rights over everyone that
mistakenly thinks the show will ever be resurrected. So for Fox to, almost 11 years later, jump in, flex its bureaucratic muscles and send out its legal lapdogs (I wonder if they send them two by two with hands of blue) — on this one very specific item only, right around the same time the first-ever licensed one pops up for sale — is really gorram shady and terrible. But you can’t stop the Browncoats. They’re still finding ways to sell their own homemade versions. Heck, even series star Nathan Fillion has been retweeting people trying to sell their wares on Twitter, saying “You got a job? We’ll do it. Don’t much care what it is.” I swear that man hasn’t left character since that show began. And, having never bought one myself yet, don’t be surprised if you see me out covering games wearing the dorkiest looking knit cap you’ve ever seen. Because I’m not afraid to stick my finger in the eye of the murderer of one of the best shows ever on TV.

Losses from Ohio storms higher than initial estimate COLUMBUS (AP) — Updated data indicates insured losses from storms that socked Ohio in late June and early July totaled $845 million in the state, or nearly double the initial estimate released by an insurance industry trade group. The series of storms between June 29 and July 2 still ranks third among the costliest Ohio catastrophes in modern history in terms
of insured losses, according to the Ohio Insurance Institute. The Hurricane Ike windstorm in September 2008 tops the list with insured losses of more than $1.2 billion, and the Xenia tornado outbreak in 1974 ranks second. Based on its initial claims survey, the institute had estimated insurance claims from the storms last summer would total at least $433 million.

Ohio county expects interest from new ‘42’ baseball movie CINCINNATI (AP) — The southern Ohio home county of late baseball executive Branch Rickey expects increased interest from his depiction in the movie “42” as the baseball executive who signed Jackie Robinson to break the color line. The movie, which opened nationally this weekend, tells the story of how Robinson became the first black player in modern Major League Baseball. Actor Harrison Ford portrays Rickey, who decided Robinson was the right player to endure playing amid the harsh prejudice a black man would face. Rickey was born in southern Ohio in 1881 and is buried there. He is among those featured on Portsmouth’s Floodwall Murals, colorful artwork stretching along a 20-foottall floodwall showing the history and famous figures of the Ohio River city some 100 miles east of Cincinnati. “It should heighten interest, make people more aware that he was from this area,” said Kim Bauer, executive director of the Portsmouth-Scioto County Visitors Bureau. “And even some people locally will have an ‘aha’ moment. They didn’t realize he was from here. It is something that should heighten interest for people coming to see the murals.” Among others featured on the murals are star athlete Jim Thorpe, who played for and coached a Portsmouth football team, and singing cowboy movie star Roy Rogers, who was raised near Portsmouth, a city of some 21,000 people. Besides signing Robinson, Rickey is known as a highly successful baseball innovator who also pioneered the farm system approach to developing players in minor league. Rickey’s gravesite is near Portsmouth, and the Shawnee State University baseball team in the city plays at Branch Rickey Park. The school hosted an advance screening of the movie Thursday evening. Among those attending was Al Oliver, a Portsmouth native who starred for major-league teams including the 1971 world champi-
on Pittsburgh Pirates. Oliver said Rickey’s role in opposing segregation is particularly notable for someone who came from the predominantly white Appalachian region that struggled with racism. “No. 1, most people would not believe that someone from southern Ohio would have been the one to have made that move,” Oliver said Friday. He credits Rickey’s upbringing and Christian faith for giving him the determination to integrate baseball. “His spiritual outlook on life was what made him the man he was,” Oliver said of Rickey, while also paying tribute for Robinson for his strength and perseverance to pave the way for the black players who followed. Oliver played baseball in southern Ohio as a boy with Larry Hisle, who also starred in the major leagues. Both are black. Oliver, a motivational speaker who returned to AP PHOTO/PORTSMOUTH DAILY TIMES, SCOTT OSBORNE, FILE Portsmouth to live after In this Oct. 5, 2002, file photo, muralist Robert Dafford baseball, is active in supof Lafayette, La., speaks at the dedication of the porting a community that Portsmouth floodwall murals in Portsmouth.

Oliver, who gave “42” high marks, said renewed attention to Rickey’s historic role for civil rights should be uplifting for the region. “I think it gives a better perspective on southern Ohio — the people who are from here and the people who live here today,” Oliver said. “Anyone who watches that movie from southern AP PHOTO/FILE Ohio should take pride, In this July 20, 1962, file photo, baseball player Jackie whether you’re black or Robinson embraces Branch Rickey in New York.

Pediatrician trades ER for bookstore CINCINNATI (AP) — It is a testimony to loving books and children. It exists because doctors chatted in an emergency room one night at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and noticed they were seeing different injuries than the expected. Children were no longer coming in with broken arms and bee stings. Instead, the doctors saw problems related to obesity and depression and attention deficit disorder. Dr. John Hutton wanted kids to read books and play outside. He wanted their parents to unplug the kids’ televisions and computers. But Hutton knew doctors had to pick their battles. If a trip to the pediatrician becomes a lecture about eating right, immunizations, staying active and limiting “screen time,” parents would begin to tune him out. So he focused on more books and less screen time. That would be his issue. During his residency at Children’s Hospital, he was required to write an advocacy and research project.
He wrote “Analog Kids in a Digital Age,” which focused on the benefits of literacy and real-world experiences for children, including building and climbing and roaming and playing, and the dangers of too much screen time. And then one day in December 2000, Hutton and his wife, Sandra Gross, drove to their favorite kids’ books store in Oakley, the Blue Marble, and saw a sign in the window: “Going out of business.” The owner was ill and the competition from major chains was too much. She wanted to get out. “We were devastated. We thought, ‘This is just awful,’” Hutton said of that day. Then they went inside with their two daughters and felt worse. The story lady, “Miss Katie,” was there that day. Hutton and Gross knew her as the woman who could read a book to children and make it magic. “Miss Katie” turned to them and said, “I don’t know what will happen to my storybook orphans.” Hutton knew he had to
make a stand. If he was a doctor who believed children would be healthier and happier if their parents read them books, then he should be committed to making sure they had a place to make that happen. The die had been cast. Within just a few months, Hutton and Gross bought the Blue Marble. They wrote the contract in crayon, and the former owner agreed to help them understand the business. Hutton wanted to write and to commit himself to literacy projects. He began to think that this would be how he helped children, not being a pediatrician. So he stopped being a doctor. “But I still always thought of myself as a doctor,” Hutton said. The couple next decided to change the name. They wanted to keep “Blue” as a nod to the past, but they wanted to make it their own. It came down to the Blue Tortoise or the Blue Manatee, a decision they let customers vote on for almost a year. “It was real close. It felt like two votes,” Hutton

said. It turned out that as a rule, kids were voting for “manatee” and parents were voting for “tortoise.” The kids won and the Blue Manatee was born. The name also appealed to Hutton and Gross because it spoke to their challenge. “It was symbolic of what independent bookstores go through,” Hutton said. “They are nurturing and intelligent and sweet, but endangered.” The bookstore has affirmed for Hutton what he already knew: Reading with a child is rewarding for the parent and remarkably beneficial for the child. “This is old-fashioned stuff, but it is not just nostalgic,” Hutton said. “For a small child, any interaction with a person reading a book is so good for a child’s cognitive, language, fine motor skills and emotional well-being.” But running a bookstore is difficult. “People can buy books anywhere nowadays: box stores, online, anywhere,” Hutton said. “We wanted to make a unique and nurturing space.”

All Community Open House A special “thank you” to the community The Upper Valley Career Center is hosting an All Community Open House on Saturday, April 20. The Open House will be the final event in a year-long series showcasing the $25 million Ohio School Facilities Commission renovation project. “Visitors to the Career Center this year have been surprised by the professional look and feel of the like-new building. Consistently their comments are that it looks more like a college campus than a high school,” said Jason Haak, Executive Director. He continued, “We can’t say “thank you” enough or adequately express our appreciation to this community for the support that made this possible.” In November 2009, the community passed a .46 mill bond issue which enabled Upper Valley CC to raise the $7.3 million needed to draw down $17.4 million from the State for the purpose of thoroughly renovating the 37year old high school facilities. Construction progressed throughout 2011 and 2012 with completion on schedule for the beginning of the 2012/13 school year. Haak says, “Whole sections of the buildings were gutted and replaced with new walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinetry, and the electrical and technical-infrastructure needed to support the level of career technical training that our stake holders have

come to expect.” When the building was constructed in 1975, there were no student laptops or virtual learning experiences. The old system worked, but was basically a maxed-out retrofit. All that is gone replaced with state-of-the-art fire and life safety systems, Cisco phone system, district network, and classroom technology. The building is now more energy efficient thanks to the new roof, electrical, HVAC/R, and plumbing systems. The work was completed in phases so that all programs and services could continue with minimal interruption. Use of the newly built, permanent swing space in the front provided 12 classrooms which housed academic classes during the renovation. This summer that swing space will become home to the Adult Division School of Practical Nursing. Haak encourages everyone to visit the school during the April 20, Open House. “The Upper Valley Career Center may be the best kept secret in Miami and Shelby Counties.

U.S., China pledge to work together Goal is for nuclear-free North Korea BEIJING (AP) — The United States and China committed Saturday to a process aimed at ridding North Korea of its nuclear weapons, with the Obama administration gaining at least the rhetorical support of the only government that can exert significant influence over the reclusive North. The question now is whether Beijing will make good on its pledge to uphold “peace and stability” and work with Washington on achieving the goal of a nuclear-free Korean peninsula. The declarations from both nations’ foreign policy chiefs came as North Korea appears to be readying a missile test that has caused grave concern for the U.S. and its two close Asian allies, South Korea and Japan. “We are able — the United States and China — to underscore our joint commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula in a peaceful manner,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters in Beijing before having dinner with State Councilor Yang Jiechi. Kerry and Yang said they’d seek a peaceful resolution of the North Korean

to resume nuclear talks one day with North Korea. “From this moment forward we are committed to taking actions in order to make good on that goal,” he added. “And we are determined to make that goal a reality. China and the United States must together take steps in order to achieve the goal of a denuclearized
Korean peninsula. And today we agreed that further discussions to bear down very quickly with great specificity on exactly how we will accomplish this goal.” Kerry said U.S. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and representatives from U.S. intelligence agencies would travel to Beijing later this month. Kerry also is sending his deputy at the State Department, William Burns, as part of the effort to “make sure that this is not rhetoric but that it is real policy that is being implemented.” Yang said his government’s position was clear. “China is firmly committed to upholding peace and stability and advancing the denuclearization process on the Korean peninsula,” he said through an interpreter. “We maintain that the issue should be handled and resolved peacefully through dialogue,” Yang said, adding that China would work with the United States and other nations to resume six-party talks with North Korea that fell apart for good four years ago. Amid almost daily North Korean threats, the U.S. has been counting on China to force its unruly neighbor to stand down. It’s a strategy that has produced uneven results over decades of

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis named eight cardinals from around the globe Saturday to advise him on running the Catholic Church and reforming the Vatican bureaucracy, marking his first month as pope with a major initiative to reflect the universal nature of the church in key governing decisions. The advisory panel
includes only one current Vatican official. The rest are cardinals from North, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia. Many have been outspoken in calling for a shake-up of the Vatican bureaucracy, which was last reformed 25 years ago, while others have tried to clean up the church from sexually abusive priests.

American diplomacy, during which the North has developed and tested nuclear weapons and repeatedly imperiled peace on the Korean peninsula. But with only the counter-threat of overwhelming force to offer the North Koreans, the U.S. has little other option. In their statements delivered side by side, neither Kerry nor Yang specifically addressed the immediate crisis: a North Korean test of a missile with a range of up to 2,500 miles that the U.S. believes could happen any day. Later, Kerry said at a news conference that Washington and Beijing “both call on North Korea to refrain from any provocative steps and that obviously refers to any future missile shoot.” Kerry and Yang focused primarily on the long-term problem, which is a nuclear program that may soon, if not already, include the capability to deliver a warhead on a missile. The question of North Korea’s capacity has been subject to great debate in Washington this past week after a U.S. intelligence assessment suggested North Korea had the capacity to put a nuclear warhead on a missile, even if any such weapon would have low reliability..

In the run-up to the conclave that elected Francis the first Latin American pope one month ago, many cardinals demanded the Vatican be more responsive to their needs on the ground and said the Holy See bureaucracy itself must be overhauled. Including representatives from each continent in a permanent advisory panel to the pope would seem to go a long way toward answering those calls. In its announcement Saturday, the Vatican said Francis got the idea to form the advisory body from the pre-conclave meetings where such complaints were aired. “He has formed a group of cardinals to advise him in the governing of the universal church and to study a revision of the apostolic constitution Pastor Bonus on the Roman Curia,” the statement said. Pope John Paul II issued Pastor Bonus in 1988, and it functions effectively as the blueprint for the administration of the Holy See, known as the Roman Curia, and the Vatican City State. The document metes out the work and jurisdictions of the congregations, pontifical councils and other offices that make up the governance of the Catholic Church. Pastor Bonus itself was a revision of the 1967 document that marked the last major reform of the Vatican bureaucracy, undertaken by Pope Paul VI. A reform of the Vatican bureaucracy has been demanded for years, given that both John Paul and Benedict XVI essentially neglected in-house administration of the Holy See in favor of other priorities. But the calls for change grew deafening last year after the leaks of papal documents exposed petty turf battles within the Vatican bureaucracy, allegations of corruption in the running of the Vatican city state, and even a purported plot by senior Vatican officials to out a prominent Catholic as gay.

Echoes of the past Woods controversy brings back some memories BY JOEL WALKER For the Troy Daily News It was early in the morning. Springtime at Pebble Beach, probably the most scenic golf course in the world. It was around 6:30 a.m. Play for the day was about to begin, but there was just one player in the golf shop sitting in the corner tying his shoes. Ray Floyd? Yes, it was Ray Floyd, the 1969 PGA champion at NCR in Dayton and the 1976 Masters champion here at Augusta National. What in the world was Floyd doing by himself at Pebble early in the morning on a Tuesday? The only thing that came to mind was that he was there to play a practice round for the 1982 U.S. Open in June.

Not exactly. He said he was working and was going to play with an elderly couple who had won a contest — play a round of golf at Pebble Beach with Ray Floyd. Today was the day. He was scheduled to meet the couple at 7 a.m., so we chatted for a bit, and I told him I was at NCR when he won. “I was a young and care-free kind of guy then,” Floyd said. “I was as surprised as anyone that I won. Then I lost the check in the restaurant where we went to celebrate. I got it back, though” Earlier that year a rules issue came up when Craig Stadler used a towel to protect his slacks when he kneeled down under some pine trees to hit a shot. It was called “building a stance” and was illegal in the rules of golf. That issue came up, and Floyd had a simple answer. He reached over on a table and picked up a USGA rule book. “How thick is this?” he asked. “Maybe half an inch at the most. And it’s pocket-size. If we don’t

Blue Jackets edge Wild in shootout
Dalton
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Mark Letestu and Cam Atkinson scored in a shootout to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets over the Minnesota Wild 3-2 on Saturday. The Blue Jackets won their third straight and pulled even with Detroit and Dallas for the eighth and
final playoff spot in the Western Conference with 45 points. The Wild dropped their third straight and were left clinging to a two-point lead over the Red Wings, Stars and Blue Jackets with 47 points. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 39 shots while
Vinny Prospal and Fedor Tyutin each scored for Columbus. Pierre-Marc Bouchard and Jason Pominville scored for Minnesota, and Niklas Backstrom had 20 saves. Pominville’s third-period goal made it 2-all after the Wild offense had controlled most of the game but strug-
gled to solve Bobrovsky, who was brilliant. The Wild broke a 137minute scoring drought late in the first period when Bouchard tipped the puck after Brett Clark sent it toward the net from the left circle. The puck went off Jack Johnson’s skate past Bobrovsky.

Bethel-MU ■ CONTINUED FROM A9 West Milton. The Bees loaded the bases with one out in the seventh with Mitch Siler coming to the plate. Siler hit a lazy grounder just past pitcher Alex Gunston for an infield hit, allowing a run to score. Jordan Elam came up next and slapped a ground ball right at short, which was booted to bring home another run and make the score 8-4. But Milton-Union had no quit in them. Alex Gunston and Wes Biser opened the bottom of the seventh with back-toback singles, then Cody Beeler was walked to load the bases. Alex Gunston took home on a passed ball to make the score 8-5. Bethel closer Luke Veldman forced Adam Gunston to pop out and struck out Matt Bracci on a questionable strike three call, meaning Jesse Simpson was Milton’s last hope. Simpson came through with a two-run double, then he stole third base to put the game-tying run 90 feet away. But Veldman struck out the final batter and the Bees walked away with the win. “The thing is, Luke has struggled pitching the last few games,” Bethel coach Brett Brookhart said. “I put him in the closer role, and we didn’t make plays behind him. He just kept battling and was able to get the job done.” “We’re a young team trying to compete,” MiltonUnion coach Brett Barnes said. “We’re trying to get better every game. There’s a long way to go, and we still have 15 games to play. “We’ve got a four-game losing streak now, so we’re just trying to find a way.” Prior to the last three innings of the game, however, the game had been a pitchers duel between Milton’s Beeler and Bethel’s Jimmy Pelphrey. Neither pitcher had allowed an earned run in the first three innings of the game. Adam Gunston drove in Biser, who reached on an error, to give the Bulldogs the early 1-0 lead. Nate Reese scored Bethel’s first run in the top of the second, crossing home on an RBI groundout by Brett Jacob to tie the game. Both teams’ bats awoke in the later innings, though. The Bees scored one run in the fourth, two more in the fifth and three in the sixth, while the Bulldogs closed the game with six runs in the final three innings. For Bethel, Siler had two hits and two RBIs, Elam
■ CONTINUED FROM A9 by Bedenbaugh at West Virginia, then he got offered when Bedenbaugh moved to Oklahoma. Other coaches take notice of things like that.” While Brewer said he hasn’t been surprised to see the offers come rolling in, Dalton himself has been caught off-guard by some of them. “I had no idea Michigan State was going to offer me,” Dalton said. “I hadn’t really been talking to them. And I had never even talked to the Stanford coach before. He called me on the phone one day and said they had looked at my tape and wanted to make me an offer.” Dalton said he enjoyed the unofficial visit to Stanford — and was particularly impressed by the school’s academic reputation. Dalton — who wants to major in construction sci-
ence — said academics will play a big part in which school he selects. “Going to see Stanford, meet their coaches and see their football facilities was mind-blowing,” he said. “What I liked best about Stanford was their academics. For me, it’s not just about football — after you are done playing football, you’ve still got the rest of your life.” Dalton, who is one of the three Trojan juniors to have Division I offers — running back Miles Hibbler and tight end/defensive end Seth Overla also have been offered the chance to play at the Division I level — said he plans to announce his college choice before his senior season begins. “I’m definitely going to announce before my senior season,” he said. “I want to be able to focus on my senior year.”

He probably threw our longest outing of the year,” Barnes said. “Adam Gunston just keeps hitting. He’s pretty much a machine.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Kobe Bryant had surgery Saturday on his torn Achilles tendon, ending his season with two games left in the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff chase. Lakers trainer Gary Vitti thinks Bryant will need six to nine months for recovery from the most serious injury of his 17year NBA career. Given Bryant’s history of swift recovery from countless minor injuries, Vitti and Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak both believe the 34-year-old guard could be back for their season opener in the fall. “I think that’s a realistic goal for him, based on what he was talking about this morning,” Kupchak said at the Lakers’ training complex after visiting Bryant at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic. Bryant completely tore his left Achilles tendon late in the Lakers’ 118-116 win over Golden State on Friday night, falling to the hardwood after pushing off his planted foot in an ordinary move toward the hoop. Although he stayed in the game to hit two tying free throws with 3:08 to play, Bryant’s season was over. Bryant’s foot will be immobilized for about a month to prevent him from stretching out the tendon, followed by a lengthy rehabilitation process. Nobody knows how the injury will affect Bryant’s play, but his decision to have surgery less than 24 hours after getting hurt suggests he’s determined to get back on top swiftly. “He’s already taken the
challenge,” Vitti said. “For us, it’s going to be trying to slow him down.” And while it’s far too early to predict exactly when Bryant will be back, the Lakers say they wouldn’t consider parting ways with their franchise player, who will make nearly $30.5 million next year. If the Lakers used the amnesty clause on Bryant in early July, they could save possibly $80 million in luxury taxes. “That’s not even something that we’ve discussed,” Kupchak said. “That’s the furthest thing from our mind right now.” While the rest of the Lakers prepared for their final two regular-season games in a tumultuous season, Bryant’s injury left many Lakers fans wondering whether the club had done enough to protect Bryant from himself. The fourth-leading scorer in NBA history has logged heavy minutes all season on his high-mileage legs, basically dictating his own playing time while the Lakers chased a playoff spot. He has played far more minutes than any other NBA player over 30, including nearly 46 minutes per game in the seven games leading up to Friday night. “He’s a warrior,” D’Antoni said. “All I do is respect what he wanted to do for the franchise and the city. He’s earned the right to do certain things. … I would have probably (made Bryant rest more) if we were comfortably in the playoffs. When you’re trying to win at all cost, maybe you make some decisions that you’d better not.”

Troy Christian 12, Spf. Cavaliers 0 SPRINGFIELD — With a critical Metro Buckeye Conference game against Dayton Christian a few short days away, the Troy Christian Eagles knew they had to do whatever it took to get back on the field. So, rather than playing at home as was originally scheduled, the Eagles (4-0) went on the road to visit the Springfield Cavaliers — and proceeded to shell them in a 12-0 victory. “Our field was under water, and one way or another, we were going to play this game today,” Troy Christian coach Bill Campbell said. “We play at Houston Monday before playing
Dayton Christian Tuesday, but we knew we had to get back on the field after the last couple of days.” And even though the Eagles piled up 11 hits as a team and put the game away with five runs in each the second and third innings, Ben Morrow and the defense made sure that was more than enough support. Morrow pitched a two-hit shutout but only struck out two batters, giving the defense plenty of opportunities. And it made good on them, only committing one error in the game. “It was a good defensive game for us,” Campbell said. “I’m really liking the way our middle infield is playing together. I’m happy with the way it’s all progressing.” Nathan Kirkpatrick was 3 for 3 with a triple at the plate, Alex Patterson was 2 for 3 with a triple and Spencer Thomas and Morrow were each 2 for 3.

Beavercreek loaded the bases with none out in the top of the fifth with a 4-3 lead, but Bri Eichbaum struck out the next two hitters to bring up the eighth and ninth spots in the order. But back-to-back singles kicked off a four-run inning that sealed an 8-3 loss for the Red Devils. Tippecanoe (8-4) then bounced back with an 11-1 victory over
Houston in the late game. Kristin Mace and Rachel Rusk each doubled and had an RBI in the first game, Ashley Bruce doubled and Hannah Beck drove in a run, while Eichbaum finished the game with 10 strikeouts. Tippecanoe trailed 1-0 in the bottom of the third against Houston, but five hits and a walk led to a fiverun inning, then six more hits led to a four-run fourth. Beck had three hits, a double and three RBIs against Houston, Jordynn Kostyal had three hits, a double and two RBIs, Mace had two doubles and two RBIs, Rusk had a hit, an RBI and two runs, Cassie Gingerich had two hits and two runs and Eichbaum tripled.

Bethel solid at Cedarville, TC runs at Anna Staff Reports
MIAMI COUNTY
CEDARVILLE — The Bethel Bees had a solid day at the Impson Invitational in Cedarville Saturday, with the boys finishing fourth (66 points) and the girls 13th (20). Andrew Hurst was third in the 400 (54.14 seconds) and sixth in the 100 (12.07 seconds). Jason Clendening was fourth in the 110 hurdles (17.63 seconds) and fourth in the 300 hurdles (44.82 seconds). Derrick Diddle was fourth in the 200 (24.28 seconds) and fifth in the 100 (12.05 seconds). Zach ulrich was sixth in the 200 (25.08 seconds).
The 4x100 team of Clendening, Diddle, Hurst and Jacob Tumey was third (46.49 seconds). Devon Hazely was second in the high jump (5-10) and fifth in the long jump (17-11.75). Tumey was third (5-8) in the high jump. Tracy Stover was fifth in the shot put (40-4). Brady Davis was six in the discus (113-5). “For the weather conditions, I thought we did well,” Bethel coach Brad Clendening said. “Times weren’t great, but overall I was happy with the day.”
Masters tion committee. “You don’t hear about them because they don’t amount to anything. We look at each one. And when it’s appropriate, we review the video.” Under the original rules, Woods would’ve been disqualified, but a new rule added just last year gives the committee the option of going with a two-stroke penalty. Woods finished with a 2-under 70 and remains just four shots off the lead. And what about Floyd? He doesn’t play in the Masters anymore but does come back for the champions dinner and sometimes plays in the par 3 contest. At Pebble back in 1982, Floyd and the contest winner were off at 7 a.m. with the winner’s wife driving his cart and my wife driving Floyd’s. What a day.

Locke locks up 3-1 win over Reds PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jeff Locke won for only the second time in three major league seasons, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Reds 3-1 Saturday night as Cincinnati starter Johnny Cueto left in the fifth inning with a strained right triceps. After striking out Pedro Alvarez starting the fifth, Cueto threw a first-pitch strike to Travis Snider then began shaking his right arm. A Reds trainer visited Cueto on the mound, briefly massaged the pitcher’s upper arm, and both then walked to the dugout. Cueto helped Cincinnati win the NL Central last season, then left the division series opener against San Francisco with an oblique strain that knocked him out for the rest of the series, won by the Giants in five games. Cueto allowed one run and two hits in 4 13 innings with one walk and three strikeouts. He has given up just seven earned runs in his last seven starts in Pittsburgh. Alfredo Simon (0-1) relieved Cueto with the score 1-1. Snider reached on an infield single, Clint Barmes singled and Starling Marte singled with two outs to drive in the goahead run.
Matthew Coots was fifth in the 200 (24.43 seconds). The 4x800 relay team was fifth (9:27.5), as was the 4x200 team (48.17 seconds) and the 4x400 team (3:55.47). For the girls, freshman Meredith Haddad was third in the long jump (14-11.75) fourth in the 200 (28.22 seconds) and sixth in the 100 (13.93 seconds). Miami East Invitational CASSTOWN — Miami East’s girls held off Sidney to win Friday’s Miami East Invitational by five points, 116-111, while Covington’s boys continued to roll with 147 points for first, 24 better than second-place

Miami East’s boys were third (77), Milton-Union’s seventh (42), Bethel’s 11th (nine) and Newton’s 12th (four). It was a team effort for the Viking girls with only one individual champion — Corrine Melvin won the 100 (13.4 seconds). For Covington’s girls, Tara Snipes won the 800 (2:37.34), Carly Shell won the 1,600 (5:37.16) and 3,200 (12:06.99) and the 4x800 relay team won (10:33.59). Jackie Siefring

■ CONTINUED FROM A9 know everything that’s in this little book, we shouldn’t be out here playing this game at the highest level.” That conversation came to mind when Tiger Woods was hit with a twoshot penalty for an illegal drop after hitting his third shot in the water on the par 5 15th on Saturday. (Details of what was a rather complicated issue and subsequent ruling can be found in the full Masters story on this page.) Woods obviously didn’t know the rule for his situation and caught a break when he wasn’t disqualified but assessed a twostroke penalty. Woods’ violation was brought to Masters officials by a TV viewer. “We get dozens of calls every Masters,” said Fred Ridley, a club member and chairman of the competi-
For the girls, Marieke Van haaren was fifth (13:47.75), Daniele White was fifth in the high jump (4-4) and the 4x800 team of Van haaren, Lytia Hart, Bailey McCabe and Courtney Golden was sixth (12:04.29). Anna Invitational ANNA — Troy Christian’s boys finished seventh (34 points) and the girls 10th (14) at Saturday’s Anna Invitational. On the boys side, Tyler Shinall was fourth in the 100 (11.83 seconds). Craig Helman was fourth in the 300 hurdles (44.57 seconds). Zachary Garver was fifth in the 400 (56.22 seconds).
Locke (1-1), making his 14th big league appearance and 12th start, allowed one run, four hits and four walks in five innings with no strikeouts. His first win was last Oct. 1, when he pitched six innings of onerun ball to beat Atlanta. Cincinnati has lost four in a row, its longest regularseasom skid since a fivegame streak last Aug. 5-9. The Pirates have won four of five following a 1-5 start. Zack Cozart had three hits, including a double and his third homer of the season, a solo drive in the third. Andrew McCutchen walked in the fourth and scored on a two-out double by Garrett Jones, who is 7 for 14 in his last four games. Indians 9, White Sox 4 CLEVELAND — Mark Reynolds hit a grand slam in a big fifth inning and Zach McAllister pitched into the seventh, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 9-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. Reynolds had an RBI single to give Cleveland a 3-2 lead in the third inning. He connected off White Sox ace Chris Sale in a six-run fifth and tied a career high with five RBIs.
Drama-filled day Snedecker leads, Woods not DQed in hectic 3rd round AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Tiger Woods made two significant moves Saturday at the Masters — one to stay in the tournament, the other to stay in the hunt. A day filled with high drama before a shot was struck at Augusta National, ended with Brandt Snedeker and Angel Cabrera tied for the lead, and Woods only four shots back. For a few tense hours in the morning, it was not clear if Woods was going to get a chance to play. Masters officials discovered late Friday evening that Woods had taken a bad drop in the second round and should have added two shots to his score. Under normal circumstances, he would have been disqualified for signing an incorrect card. Officials took the blame for not alerting Woods to a potential problem — they found nothing wrong at first glance before he signed — and kept him in the tournament with two shots added to his score. Woods was covered under a 2-year-old rule that prevents DQs when a violation is reported by television viewers. “It certainly was a distraction early,” Woods said after three birdies on his last seven holes for a 70. “It happens and you move on. I was ready to play come game time.” So was Snedeker. He’s been building toward a moment like this for the last year, and he seized his chance on a glorious afternoon with a bogeyfree round of 3-under 69. After opening with 12 pars, he birdied both the par 5s and stuffed his tee shot to 4 feet for birdie on the par-3 16th to take the lead. Cabrera joined him at 7under 209 with a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole, capping off a round in which he twice made bogey on the par 5s. They were two players going in opposite directions this year. Snedeker was seen as the hottest player in golf when in three straight weeks he was runner-up to Woods, runner-up to Phil Mickelson and then won at Pebble Beach. His momentum was slowed by sore ribs that kept him out of golf for a month, though he appears to be hitting his stride. “I’ve spent 32 years of my

MASTERS AT A GLANCE AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — A glance at Saturday's third round of the Masters at the 7,435-yard, par-72 Augusta National Golf Club. Leading: Brandt Snedeker and 2009 champion Angel Cabrera are tied at 7under 209. Pursuing: Adam Scott is a stroke back, followed by Marc Leishman and second-round leader Jason Day two strokes behind. Where's Tiger?: Tied for seventh, four strokes back, after 70. Nearly disqualified for an illegal drop during Friday's round, Woods was hit with a two-stroke penalty before the third round began. Shot of the day: Snedeker's mid-iron into the 16th bounded on the green and rolled out to within 3 feet of the flag. The birdie putt gained him a tie for the lead with Day, and Snedeker never relinquished it. Key stat: Snedeker made 12 straight pars out of the gate, then birdied three of his final six holes. Noteworthy: Three of the top five slots on the leaderboard are occupied by Australians, giving them a solid chance to end that nation's 0-for-the-Masters drought. Quoteworthy: "If it was done a year or two ago, whatever, I wouldn't have the opportunity to play. But the rules have changed, and under the rules of golf I was able to play."

life getting ready for tomorrow,” Snedeker said. “I’m going to be disappointed if I don’t win. Period. I’m not here to get a good finish. … I’m here to win.” Cabrera, whose two major titles include a Masters win in 2009, has plunged to No. 269 in the world. “I’ve been working very hard for this moment,” Cabrera said through an interpreter. “And I’ve got to take the opportunity.” For Adam Scott, it’s a chance at redemption. He was runner-up at the Masters two years ago, though the fresher wounds are from last summer at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, where the Australian bogeyed his last four holes
and finished one shot behind in the British Open. Scott rammed home a 25foot birdie putt on the 17th hole for a 69 and was one shot behind. Two more Aussies, Marc Leishman (72) and Jason Day (73) were another shot behind, giving the blokes from Down Under as good a chance as ever to give their country some happy memories from Augusta National. It’s the only major an Australian has never won, a point driven home with every mention of Greg Norman losing a six-shot lead on the last day in 1996. “Obviously, to win the Masters would be incredible,” Scott said. “It would be great for Australia. We’ve never looked better odds-
wise going into a Sunday, except that one year in 1996. It’s going to be a hell of a round tomorrow.” Day was in the lead for most of the day, going 18 straight holes without a bogey until he missed short par putts on the last two holes. Matt Kuchar (69) was three shots back, and Woods was right behind. Woods, the No. 1 player in the world who already has won three times this year, was the heavy favorite going into the Masters to capture a green jacket for the first time since 2005 and end his five-year drought in the majors. His big move came after a bogey on the 11th hole, leaving him six shots behind as he made his way through a back nine that has not treated him kindly of late. But he ran off three birdies on the next four holes, and made clutch par saves on the 16th and 18th to stay in the game. “I’m right there in the ball game, “Woods said. “I’m four back with a great shot to win this championship.” History is not on his side. Woods has never won a major from behind, every Masters champion has been no worse than a tie for fourth going into Sunday dating to Faldo’s comeback in 1989. But at least he’s still in the game.

Miller accounts for three TDs in Buckeyes’ spring game CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer preferred to talk about Tiger Woods’ twoshot penalty at the Masters than his team’s final spring workout. “Do you mind if we talk about that for a minute?” he said after the Buckeyes’ annual spring game. “That’s probably more interesting than what I’ve got to say.” Still, there was plenty of noteworthy items from Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage played at the
Cincinnati Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium due to reconstruction being done at Ohio Stadium. Braxton Miller threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Scarlet to a 31-14 victory over the Gray before 37,643 scarletclad fans. The junior was the Big Ten’s offensive player of the year last season as the Buckeyes surprised many with a 12-0 season in Urban Meyer’s first year as head coach. Miller, who was 16 of 25 passing for 217 yards,
threw scoring passes of 20 yards to Devin Smith and 3 yards to Corey Brown, and also rushed for a 3-yard score. “I’ve still got to work on some things, watch some film and fix some mistakes,” Miller said. “I was just trying to make the pass, get guys open and get the ball in their hands.” Miller, heralded as a Heisman Trophy contender this fall by several national publications, had a solid performance. “Fundamentally he’s
pretty good. When it breaks down, that’s when it starts to go,” Meyer said. “But he’s much improved. We have to improve everyone around him.” It was an informal practice session with scoreboards. There were TV cameramen on the field during some plays, and Meyer stood a few yards behind the backfield on almost all of the offensive plays for both squads. There were 11 sacks by the two defenses, including four by Cincinnati native
Adolphus Washington and three more by Noah Spence. “Adolphus Washington has really raised his level of play,” Meyer said. “He’s a legitimate player. You saw him today just have his way with our offensive line at times.” Washington raised his hand after each sack. “It’s a thing that the Dline does,” he said. “It’s called ringing the ball. That’s what we do.” Safety C.J. Barnett believes the defensive line which must replace all four
starters could be the key to the entire team’s season. “The line is the most important part of the defense,” he said. “We’re going to go as far as they take us.” Backup quarterback Kenny Guiton hit on a total of 13 of 22 for 151 yards and one score, playing for both teams, and third-teamer Cardale Jones was 7 of 16 for 65 yards with a touchdown pass, two lost fumbles and an interception to Kevin Niehoff on one of the last plays of the game.

Banks rethink the branch, but will it work? NEW YORK (AP) — In an age when checks can be deposited by smartphone and almost everyone retrieves cash from ATMs, the corner bank can seem a relic, with its paper deposit slips, marble countertops and human tellers behind glass partitions. But some banking executives say the brick-andmortar branch is still the best way to serve existing customers and snag new ones. They’re trying to rebuild the nation’s neighborhood banks into hip, airy spaces where customers sign up for loans without touching a piece of paper, sign in to ATMs with a tap of their smartphones and talk to off-site tellers by video. Flashiness is only part of the reason for the makeovers. Mounting costs from legal fees and new regulations vestiges of the financial crisis have given the banks good reason to become more efficient. The new branches will help them replace expensive human workers with cheaper machines, a development that could eventually make the bank teller an endangered species. Most redesigns aim to let customers complete simple transactions, such as deposits, for themselves. That frees bank employees for tasks that make money, such as persuading someone who wanders in to put money into a mutual fund or refinance a mortgage. “Banks have been talking about ‘branch of the future’ for more than a decade,” says Bob Meara, a

In this Jan. 11 photo, customer Eun-young does banking through a computer monitor at a Smart Banking Center of Standard Chartered Bank in Seoul, South Korea. In an age when checks can be deposited by smartphone and almost everyone retrieves cash from ATMs, the corner bank can seem a relic, with its paper deposit slips. senior banking analyst at research and consulting firm Celent. “And almost nobody has been doing anything until the past couple years.” Banks large and small are on board. In a Celent survey in June, 55 percent of banks said they were planning “significant changes” to their branches, up from 24 percent two years earlier. At an investor conference in February, JPMorgan Chase executives touted their new branches as places where ATMs distribute exact change, machines count cash so tellers don’t have to and open floor plans evoke the atmosphere of an Apple
store or boutique hotel, features that other banks are also embracing. Still, there are perils in overhauling an institution as familiar as the bank branch. It can be expensive. And if changes are too extreme, customers get annoyed. “To be honest,” says Mike Weinbach, JPMorgan’s head of national sales for consumer banking, “we don’t know if we have it right.” “I don’t think anyone knows exactly what the future of banking’s going to look like,” he added. He declined to say how much JPMorgan is spending on its new branches. So far only one
JPMorgan branch, in San Francisco’s Chinatown, has received all the new features. The company plans to put the redesigns mostly in new sites, rather than retrofit existing branches. The goal is to help ease customers into the change. Still, about 200 branches, out of more than 5,600 in total, have some elements of the “branch of the future.” This is not the first time the bank branch has undergone a transformation. Through most of the 20th century, banks built giant branches with features both lush and imposing: thick doors, chandeliers, lion statues, arched doorways. They had to be big
branches also tend to be smaller, another factor in cost-cutting. The total number of branches for U.S. banks and savings institutions has fallen the past three years, returning almost to where it was before the financial crisis, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. In the 15 years from 1995 through 2009, the number of branches declined in only one year, 1995. Among the nation’s biggest retail banks, only JPMorgan has more branches than it did at the end of 2008. Bank of America and Wells Fargo have all shrunk their networks. PNC Financial Services Group, SunTrust Banks and KeyCorp are among the large regional banks that have been shuttering branches as well. Speaking to investors in March, PNC president Bill Demchak laid out the tightrope that banks must walk in marketing themselves through their branches and electronically. “My mother goes into the branch and she is a great customer. She wants to go in the branch three times a week, and God bless her, we will let her do it,” he said. “My son will never go in a branch, right? He’s got every mobile app there is and he’s horrified by going into a branch. We need both of those customers, and we need to figure out how we market to both of those customers without alienating either one.”
because they stored every loan agreement on paper and often housed executive offices as well. They had to seem impregnable to convey that they were safe from robbers. And they had to be decorous to suggest the bank was strong financially. “‘Like a Victorian parlor on the inside,” says Steven Reider, president of Bancography, which advises banks and credit unions on their branches, “and a Grecian temple on the outside.” It wasn’t until the 1970s, when banks started offering ATMs and storing records electronically, Reider says, that branches became smaller and savvier. The death of the bank branch has been predicted for years as banking habits have changed. Customers are visiting branches less often. The average number of teller transactions has fallen to 15.6 in 2011 from 19.1 per hour in 2005, according to research cited by Celent. For banks, it’s cheaper to serve customers online or through an ATM than in a branch. A service request, such as accepting a deposit, costs a bank about $7.50 when it’s done in a branch, 85 cents at an ATM and 10 cents online, estimates Tiffani Montez, an analyst at the research firm Forrester. JPMorgan, U.K.-based Barclays, Germany-based Commerzbank and others have told investors that new technology in their branches will help them trim jobs. The redesigned

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, April 14, the 104th day of 2013. There are 261 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight: On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth during a performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theater in Washington. On this date: In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slav-
ery was formed in Philadelphia. In 1902, James Cash Penney opened his first store, The Golden Rule, in Kemmerer, Wyo. In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time and began sinking. (The ship went under two hours and 40 minutes later with the loss of 1,514 lives.) In 1949, the “Wilhelmstrasse
Trial” in Nuremberg ended with 19 former Nazi Foreign Office officials sentenced by an American tribunal to prison terms ranging from four to 25 years. In 1981, the first test flight of America’s first operational space shuttle, the Columbia, ended successfully with a landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1986, Americans got word of a U.S. air raid on Libya.

Joe and his wife, Missy, have been producing and selling the artisan rye whiskey since mid-December in the Indian Creek Distillery at the Staley Mill Farm, 7095 Staley Road in Bethel Township. In doing so, they are following in the footsteps of Missy’s forebears, whose great-great-greatgrandfather Elias Staley founded the farm and produced whiskey there beginning in 1820. “We are using the original mash bill, or recipe, which consists of 60 percent rye, about 25 percent corn and the balance is malted barley,” Joe said. The corn comes from Miami County farmers, the rye from a farmer in North Star and the malted barley is shipped in from out West. “It’s all American grain,” said Missy, who said their whiskey also includes hops because the family recipe calls for its use. Early whiskey makers had a problem with bacteria, Joe explained.

They use spring water from the ground on the farm, just as Elias Staley did. Her forebear knew what he was doing when he chose to settle on the piece of ground he did, Missy said. “Water is very important to the production of whiskey,” Joe agreed. “You need high calcium and no iron and no man-made products. That’s what we have here. We’ve got perfect water here.” The Duers today produce their whiskey in a building they hired Amish craftsmen to build just

A neighbor, Tom Widener, the official “gauger” or government inspector, leans against the corner of the building.

The grist mill provided the 1880s grain mill the Duers resurrected to grind the grain for their whiskey, although in a simple concession to modern times, the mill has been converted to electric and mounted on wheels. The combination of mill and distillery was an attractive draw for pioneers and Native Americans.
Even men driving cattle on the nearby National Road (U.S. Route 40) would detour to the farm and stay the night at a nearby inn, Missy said. “My mom would always tell the story, that when the cattlemen came up here, they would rent ground from my fifth-great-grandfather to graze their cattle, they would get their grain, they would get their whiskey, and they’d go stay at the inn and have one whooping good time,” said Missy, who said her mother, Carol Mumford, led the effort in the mid-1990s to

“I am honored and blessed to own and steward this amazing bit of early American history, let alone of my family’s early history,” she said. “It is, it’s an honor. And both Joe and I take that very seriously, as a great responsibility.” With two children and four grandchildren, the Duers expect family interest will continue into future generations, because Missy said her family’s deep roots seem to pull them to the land. She also knows the public has an interest in the farm because of its long and storied history, and
Staley Mill Farm and Indian Creek Distillery will collaborate with Bear’s Mill in Greenville to present Mills & Stills on two Saturdays in May, May 4 and 18, in celebration of Historic Preservation Month. It’s a chance to visit both locations between 5-9 p.m. for informational tours, appetizers, desserts and beverages, musical entertainment and special tastings. Indian Creek Distillery is at 7095 Staley Road in Miami County, and Bear’s Mill is at 6450 ArcanumBear’s Mill Road in Darke County. Tickets are $35 and must be purchased one week prior to the selected date.

We have this gift, and we need to share it.”
NATURAL WANDERS
Birds, blooms and bullheads renew the soul Say what you want about Ohio’s fickle weather, but one thing’s for sure — when the Buckeye State decides to get with the program and do spring, it does so in a hurry! Like right now! Ka-bang! Instant, abrupt, overnight change! A few days ago I spent part of a bright afternoon combing a steep hillside along the Great Miami River, hoping to find a few snow trillium in bloom. Hereabouts, this smaller trillium appears early — typically from mid-February on, only slightly later than the oddball skunk cabbage. It’s thus near the top of my spring wildflower list. Yet in spite of the sun, the temperature was barely above freezing. A raw arctic wind sliced downstream through the lifeless woodland — a monochromatic landscape as barren of any hint of vernal green as it had been back in January. I gave it a progressively hypothermic hour of searching, yet failed to find the first “threetimes-three” white wildflower. The cold’s insidious chill-factor steadily wormed beneath my insulated jacket and layers of

clothing, turning my bone marrow to slush. Shivering and discouraged, I concluded survival required a hasty retreat to the truck and it’s blessedly warm heater. A week later to the day, on a similar wooded hillside along the Stillwater, I spent the afternoon admiring bloodroot, hepatica, trout lily, Dutchman’s breeches, and a dozen other seasonal ephemerals, including Virginia bluebells. All in bloom, having appeared like a pastel explosion over the previous two days. The nearby floodplain was fast being carpeted yellow by lesser celandine.
A careful look around revealed a landscape verdantly alive as confirmed by a faint green mist that appeared to exude from every leaf and blade, stem and bud — the new-growth color of the earth being reborn before your very eyes. The green of renewal and resurrection. Spring had sprung, and pounced with a vengeance! The temperature stood at an unbelievable 81 degrees. Not merely warm … hot! I had on jeans and a short-sleeved tee and was still sweating. The sudden seasonal change had also inspired the birds. Cardinals whistled from thickets. Robins purled their jazzy swing. A field sparrow trilled. I heard a towhee and phoebe, the first of either this year. Meanwhile, downy and hairy woodpeckers drummed away on bits of resonating wood, like bodhrán soloists in an Irish band. On the river, Canada geese honked, kingfishers ratcheted, and great blue herons squawked their displeasure at everyone. All feathered citizen in or along that reparian tract contributed. Nothing, I decided, beats the
sound of spring’s glorious racket! The following morning I went bullhead fishing on a stretch of the same river a mile or so upstream. First I had to find a supply of my preferred catfish bait — wiggly red earthworms, dug from a long midden of current drift, using a stout stick for a makeshift shovel. I’ve been digging worms from this same sandy bankside drift midden — or its indistinguishable predecessors — for nearly half a century. It’s a good spot, easy to get to, unusually productive, and pretty much on the way to most of the local bullhead holes I regularly fish each spring. Sometimes I suspect there’s probably a message within the fact that for five decades, I’ve been coming here to find bullheading worms under the same driftpile of leaves and dirt and other organic detritus. Perhaps, down through the years, even the same generational worm offspring. So what does that say? Well, that rivers endure, follow the same watery path — leaving driftpiles in the same places — as they make their way from source
to sea. It says that change comes slowly, over great chunks of time unless altered by shifts of vegetation or geography, natural or man-induced. But what else can be inferred? That productive bullhead holes remain good unless the water quality or river bottom change? Yes. That I’m a creature of habit? Yes. That a mess of spring bullhead, fried golden in the skillet and served with homemade coleslaw and wedges of hot cornbread, taste better than any fare from the fanciest restaurant in town? Oh my, yes! Or does the whole thing simply reveal how the same quiet magic which drew me to become a fisherman in the first place, still abides deep within? Answering why, on a recent April day, having dug sufficient bait, this now aging fellow made himself comfortable on a handy sycamore log, beside a beloved river, where wildflowers bloomed nearby and birdsong filled the air — and once again sought to renew his soul while finding peace and purpose, tightlining for spring bullheads.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some never-before-seen artifacts from the minutes and hours following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination went on display Friday, along with an extensive collection of photographs of the young president’s family. The Newseum, a museum devoted to journalism and the First Amendment, is marking the 50th anniversary of the assassination with a yearlong commemoration including two new exhibitions and a new film about Kennedy. One exhibit, titled
“Three Shots Were Fired,” follows the events and news coverage that unfolded after Kennedy was shot in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. It will be on view until January, along with an extensive exhibition of photographs by Kennedy’s personal photographer, titled “Creating Camelot.” For the first time, the museum is showing items from assassin Lee Harvey Oswald at the time of his arrest. The display includes Oswald’s clothing, a jacket that police believe he discarded, his wallet, and the wallet’s contents, including a card with the address of

Objects from JFK assassination go on display at Newseum in D.C. the Soviet embassy. There’s also a blanket that was used to hide Oswald’s rifle in a friend’s garage. The objects are on loan from the National Archives. “For me, objects always are tangible items that help people come into a story,” said Carrie Christoffersen, the Newseum’s collections director. Many of the items are paired with news photographs from the time, including just after Oswald’s arrest, showing the interworking of the press and the Kennedy White House. “We’re really telling this story through the lens of the journalists and how they covered it and then how the public experienced it,” Christoffersen said. “Three Shots,” unfolds chronologically from the first bulletin from United Press International that broke the news that “Three shots were fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade today in downtown Dallas.”

Secondhand smoke remains unfiltered threat BY LEE BOWMAN Scripps Howard News Service While many smokers take precautions like only lighting up in an isolated room, on a porch or in the yard, those steps seldom eliminate the dangers that nicotine and other chemicals from burning tobacco pose to infants and children. These range from increased risks for respiratory infections and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome to higher lifetime risks for cancer. But short of setting up an array of lab sensors in the home, there’s no way to tell how much smoke residue is entering a particular space. Now, researchers at Dartmouth University report they’ve come up with a prototype
Class-action lawsuit tests rules BY JIM SPENCER Minneapolis Star Tribune In 2012, college professor Michael Kamins faced one of a parent’s worst nightmares. The psychiatrist treating his son for bipolar disorder believed the young man needed two psychotherapy sessions per week to treat the anxiety, psychosis, mania and depression that came with his mental illness. But after paying for several weeks of therapy, Kamins’ insurance company, Minnetonka-based UnitedHealth Group Inc. in Minnesota, decided it would cover only two sessions per month, according to a recent lawsuit. The prospect of watching his son stop progressing against a disease that had led to suicide attempts because an insurance company wanted to secondguess a physician angered Kamins. So he joined a nationwide class-action case that charges UnitedHealth with violating a federal law that forbids insurance companies from treating mental health claims differently from medical and surgical claims. Experts say the suit, brought by Kamins, two other individuals and the New York State Psychiatric Association, could set a major precedent for mental health coverage in the era of health care reform.
sensor sensitive and compact enough to use just about anywhere. Smaller and lighter than a cell phone, the prototype — developed in the lab of chemistry professor Joseph BelBruno — can fit in the palm of the hand. It uses polymer films to collect, trap and measure nicotine levels in the air. The project was described in the March issue of the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research. While a patent is pending for the first device, BelBruno expects that a consumer version will eventually be available featuring a computer processor, a rechargeable battery and perhaps a screen to show immediate readouts. Outside of the home, the devices could be used commer-
cially in places where smoking is banned, such as hotel rooms, rental cars and restaurants. Secondhand smoke combines smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke exhaled by tobacco users. Thirdhand smoke is the tobacco residue left behind after smoking that can build up on clothing, walls, curtains, furniture and other surfaces. The residue can return to the air and cause harm long after active smoking has stopped. There is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds of these are toxic and about 70 cause cancer.
daily exposure to harmful pollutants by up to 30 percent, another study found. The study, published in November by the journal Tobacco, measured pollutant levels in 22 tests inside a stationary vehicle and found levels higher than those found in bars, restaurants and casinos. Tests were done with front car windows all the way down and partially open. In both cases, pollutant levels were three times as high as those measured outside the car, taking into account both tobacco and vehicle emissions. The CDC recommends that parents forbid smoking around their children, particularly in the home or car, and avoid restaurants or other indoor spaces that allow smoking.
Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke face a 20 to 30 percent increased risk of developing lung cancer. Significant exposure to toxic chemicals from secondhand smoke can happen in as little as 10 to 20 minutes. Simply breathing in a smoky bar or car can constrict a healthy adult’s airway in as little as 20 minutes, researchers at the University of Athens in Greece found. They tested subjects in a chamber simulating the exposure to smoke particulates, and reported their findings at the American College of Chest Physicians’ annual meeting in October. Spending just 10 minutes in the back seat of a car with a smoker in front boosts a child’s

This July 11, 2009, file photo shows Justin Hall throwing a salmon to a co-worker behind the counter at Pike Place Fish, at Pike Place Market in Seattle. The market and the fish throw are a favorite and free attraction for visitors to Seattle.
From flying fish to outdoor sculptures Seattle has plenty of free things to see, do BY MANUEL VALDES Associated Press SEATTLE (AP) — It’s not something that people in Seattle like to broadcast too much, but the Emerald City gets plenty of sunshine. Last year, there were 48 straight days of no rain to go along with our long summer days, presenting a perfect setting to explore the numerous free parks, bike trails, markets, beaches and lakes the city offers. Here is a small collection: • PIKE PLACE MARKET There are few landmarks that invoke Seattle as much as the glowing red letters of the Pike Place Market. Sure, it’s a tourist trap, but it recalls a time when nearby farmers sold their produce to the hungry city masses. Peruse the bounty of flowers, chocolates, fish, fruit and much more in the multi-level market built on a steep hill in downtown Seattle. Stop by the Gum Wall to leave your own chewy legacy. Take in the fishmongers throwing salmon around. But don’t confine it to this one market. Seattle boasts a healthy arsenal of neighborhood outdoor markets. One example: The market in Fremont sells everything from consignment clothes from the 1980s (perfect for your hipster friends) to whole furniture sets, old maps, old records, old games and more on Sundays right next to a ship canal, http://www.fremontmarket.com/ . It’s free and fun to visit whether or not you decide to buy. • THE HIRAM M. CHITTENDEN LOCKS Known locally as the Ballard Locks, this water gateway constructed and run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers separates the salty Puget Sound from Lake Union and Lake Washington using a system of water elevators. Recreational, tourist, working and research vessels make their way through the locks every day, lowering and elevating before crowds of onlookers. It’s an engineering gem that opened in 1917, a miniature Panama Canal in the middle of the city, but the locks offer more than that. There are fish ladders that salmon use for their annual spawning migration. Sockeye, king and coho salmon as well as steelhead can be seen making their way on outdoor and indoor (and under-
In this image taken Jan. 16, a lighthouse lines the beach at Discovery Park in Seattle. At 534 acres, Discovery Park is the largest park in the city and it features seaside bluffs, views of the Puget Sound, trails, a light house and a beach.

The $165 million building’s unusual design and decoration attracts visitors from all over the world. water) views of the ladder. Occasionally, a hungry sea lion will also hang around the entrance to the ladder to grab himself a salmon meal, like a true Seattle-ite. The locks also feature botanical gardens, rolling greens that make for nice picnic spots, and free one-hour tours of the facility between March and November. For more information: http://1.usa.gov/11nY2KR. • DISCOVERY PARK At 534 acres (216 hectares), Discovery Park is the largest park in Seattle and it features some of the most stunning views within city limits. On top of seaside bluffs, visitors can overlook the Puget Sound, islands and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Look south and Mount Rainier and the city skyline rise
above the horizon. The park, which used to be a military fort, features hiking and jogging trails through acres of forest. Down below, a sandy beach adorned with a lighthouse snakes around the park. Lucky visitors encounter baby seals sleeping on the beach, sea lions swimming just offshore or bald eagles perched on trees. There are also wide open grassy areas on top of the bluffs. Oh, and one time a cougar made the park its home for a week or so, much to the dismay of local pets. Away from the slice of nature, there is also the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, which hosts art by Native American artists.

The Olympic Sculpture Park, an extension of the Seattle Art Museum, provides visitors the opportunity to relax on its green grass or stroll through its collection of artwork. TRAL LIBRARY It’s a bit of a quiet tour to take in the 362,987-square-foot (33,723-square-meter) Seattle Central Library. After all, even though it’s renowned for its modernist architecture, it’s still a well-used library. Explore the nine levels open to the public to admire the bright neon escalators, lipstick red hallways, and the slanted steel and glass roof that looks like an oversized chain-link fence. Despite budget woes and issues with the homeless, the $165 million building remains a modern architectural achievement, full of ambition,

Hard work has paid off for The Band Perry
PHOTO /CHRIS PIZZELLO/INVISION/AP
From left, Neil Perry, Kimberly Perry and Reid Perry, of musical group The Band Perry, perform at the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 7. The phrase ‘sophomore slump,’ we probably knew about that when we were 8, 10 and 15 years old,” Kimberly Perry said. “It’s sort of like the title of a horror movie for us,” joked Reid Perry. Upping the pressure: The Kimberly Perry-penned song “If I Die Young” was a crossover hit on the pop charts and won song of the year at the Country Music Association Awards, marking the band as both a commercial and critical success. So everyone was ready for a few hurdles but it was far more difficult than anyone imagined.
The band began preproduction with Nashville producer Frank Liddell, then decided to part ways with Liddell and work with Rick Rubin, who guided another trio, The Dixie Chicks, to an album-of-the-year Grammy. That ultimately didn’t work out either, and the band decided to try Dann Huff. “I think The Band Perry would be the first to tell you they would hope that wouldn’t be typical for anybody,” Huff said of their path to album No. 2. “I mean that was a long journey to get where they ended up.” Huff is one of Nashville’s go-to
producers. He’d been approached to help the band finish its first album, but couldn’t fit it in his schedule. “I remember seeing them on an awards show and thinking, ‘Ah, crap, I missed that train,’” Huff said. “And that never comes back.” Given a second chance when Big Machine Records head Scott Borchetta called to ask him if he’d like to cut a few tracks, Huff wasted no time: “I said, ‘How fast do you want to do it? Let’s start tonight.’ I still am impressed by how committed they are. That’s what attracts me to those three

siblings. They are all in. I never dreamt that I’d get a chance to do the whole record.” With week-of-release plans and commitments already littering a large calendar in their manager’s office, the band and Huff had a limited amount of time to record the songs again. Huff was open to anything they wanted to try, and they wanted to try a lot of things. Pay tribute to influence Queen on “Forever Mine Nevermind”? Sure, why not? As the Perrys laid down their parts with the band in the studio, Huff a session musician for two decades before turning to production would play along on his guitar in the control room. He helped them shape a larger, more arena-ready sound. “He was the first producer to come out and see our live show,” Neil Perry said. “We always tell people that’s where you get the perfect snapshot of The Band Perry. Before we did interviews, before we wrote songs, we were playing live and we wanted to bring that element into the next album. So in the recording process, Dann let us exhaust every idea whether it was crazy or out there, he let us do that.” They emerged with that single. “Better Dig Two” reached No. 1 and has already gone platinum. And the rest of the album sounds just like they want it to. And it should. “We can say today that ‘Pioneer’ is absolutely the second album that was meant to be because we did exhaust every idea we had,” said Kimberly Perry. “We had 18 months to record this, which was really a luxury for a second album. So I think that’s what I’m most proud about.”
Ben Affleck reflects on awkward Oscar speech
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ben Affleck took home the best picture Oscar at this year’s Academy Awards for his Iran hostage drama “Argo.” But what everyone really remembers is that emotional, slightly uncomfortable acceptance speech. Everyone, apparently, except Affleck. “I barely remember the Oscar speech,” the actordirector said when asked about it at Tuesday’s premiere of his latest film. “Certainly, the most important thing for me, in a way, was to honor my wife and to let people know how much I love her.” During his speech AP PHOTO/WARNER BROS.

Los Angeles premiere of Terrence Malick’s romantic rumination “To the Wonder,” which opens Friday. Affleck, 40, admitted that seeing the celebrated director in action was indeed a wonder to behold. “I think that you know he’s a director who does really unusual stuff, really interesting stuff, and somebody who works outside the typical Hollywood norm. And that’s interesting to other directors, certainly to me, because you go like ‘wow, what would happen of you experiment with this?’” The film stars Affleck as an American whose relationship with a woman he met overseas turns cold, leaving him drifting back toward a childhood love. “To the Wonder” was the last review written by celebrated film critic Roger Ebert, who died Tuesday, and it sent “shivers” down Affleck’s spine. “I thought it was a profound honor,” he said. “To have this be the last movie that he reviewed and to have it viewed through this sort of transcendental lens of a man at the end of his life is as important as anything that’s ever happened around movies in my career.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Band Perry has performed something like 15 times over the last 10 days, finishing an 18month saga that was the making of their second album with a grueling appearance schedule. The brother-sister trio glammed it up at the Academy of Country Music Awards and headlined a charity concert in Las Vegas. They hit “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and taped a segment for “Dancing With the Stars” in Los Angeles, got a shoutout along the way from Justin Timberlake and landed “Pioneer” at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The album sold 129,000 copies this week, exceeding estimates by 20 percent or more. Talk about landing the dismount. “In this day and age of the music business to get a chance to even allow us to have the opportunity to record again is not something lost on us,” Kimberly Perry said. “Pioneer” will be one of the most talked about albums on Music Row this year. The tortured journey of Kimberly, 29, Reid, 24, and Neil, 22, was arduous, requiring a tremendous amount of determination. It has quite the backstory. Second albums are often difficult, especially when the debut kicks up some dust. First albums are often the product of years of honing and prepping in a lowstress environment. Taste a little success with that debut, as The Band Perry did with its platinumselling self-titled debut album, and both internal and external pressure immediately increase. “Since we were kids, we were kind of music business nerds. We would read all about this business that we wanted to be a part of.

This book cover image released by Celebra shows a self-titled memoir by actress Rita Moreno.
Moreno’s memoir is survivor’s story BY DOUGLASS K. DANIEL AP Book Reviewer “Rita Moreno: A Memoir” (Celebra), by Rita Moreno: The awardwinning actress Rita Moreno opens up way, way up in a memoir driven less by recollections from her career than by her effort to overcome crippling selfdoubts. Fans eager to learn what it was like to dance for Gene Kelly (in “Singin’ in the Rain”), share a soundstage with Yul Brynner (in “The King and I”) and perform the choreography of Jerome Robbins (in “West Side Story”) aren’t likely to be satisfied with Moreno’s brisk treatment of her work. Yet, Moreno wasn’t shaped by the roles she played. She focuses her story on a journey of selfdiscovery, and it’s that introspection that gives her memoir its punch. Her success story is so American. Her mother brought 5-year-old Rosita Dolores Alverio to the United States from Puerto Rico to seek a better life as much or more for herself as for her daughter. She left her husband (the first of five) and her young son in Juncos, a village little Rosita saw as a sensual place of beauty and wonder amid the El Yunque rain forest. New York City was a forest of a different sort, cold and indifferent with overt racism. Rosita didn’t speak English when she arrived, further marking her as an outsider, but she learned the language and how to dance. Guided by Paco Cansino, Rita Hayworth’s teacher and uncle, Rosita began performing at 9 and dropped out of school as her career blossomed. MGM studio chief Louis B. Mayer declared Moreno to be “a Spanish Elizabeth Taylor” and hired her. The first movie star she met in Hollywood was Clark Gable, who told her: “Rosita. Great name, kid.” A casting agent disagreed, deciding that it was too Italian and changing it to Rita. The sweet and sour flavors of ethnicity were never far away. Moreno was a talented beauty but pigeonholed in films as a “spitfire” or some other kind of exotic nonwhite. Even after she won an Oscar as a supporting actress in “West Side Story,” released in 1961, many doors remained closed. No wonder Moreno, now 81, thought from the beginning that it would all come crashing down eventually. Outward confidence aside, she was bedeviled by doubts and fears and secretly believed that she was faking it all. Her relationships with domineering men, particularly Marlon Brando, reflected her low selfesteem. She broke up with Brando a half-dozen times, returning to the notorious narcissist again and again.

Mary Higgins Clark active as ever at age 85 SADDLE RIVER, N.J. (AP) — The desk of Mary Higgins Clark looks remarkably ordered for one of the world’s most popular novelists. But the upkeep can be explained by spring cleaning and by a pause between projects as Clark promotes a new novel, and plans her next. “It’s a total mess when I’m working, because I have research books here,” she says. “And last year, it was getting all dusty from all the books, so we had to take them out. I get allergies easily and it was getting too dusty.” The long-reigning “Queen of Suspense” works out of the top floor of this three-story converted ranch house, logging on to a Dell computer that is foreign to her in many ways, but just familiar enough for Clark to have mastered how to store a day’s material. She is 85, could have retired long ago, but worries more when she’s not writing (“I was never a gardener. If I plant something, it dies.”) She’s completed more than
40 books, not just mysteries, but children’s stories, Christmas novels, a historical novel and a memoir, “Kitchen Privileges.” She has co-written a few books with daughter Carol Higgins Clark and has so many ideas that she’s thinking of bringing in collaborators for other projects. Her current book,
“Daddy’s Gone a Hunting,” is a vintage Clark thriller featuring women in distress, tragic pasts and secret identities. It’s about a deadly explosion that destroys a family furniture business in Long Island City and about one of the founder’s granddaughters injured in the blast, suspected of being in on the crime
who lies in a coma. Explaining how she thought of the story, Clark talks about an old acquaintance who ran an unprofitable restaurant on Long Island, one that was ruined in a fire. He opened another restaurant, only to have another fire burn it down. “So the FBI said to him, ‘Jimmy, next time have a flood,’” she says with a laugh. She is also fascinated by memory, what happens to it after a traumatic event and what we’re capable of understanding while supposedly unconscious. She discusses an incident from a few years ago, when she was recovering from surgery and was accidentally given too much medication. “My blood pressure was dropping and so was my heart rate, and I actually had that out of body experience where I was floating above,” she says. “And John (her husband, former Merrill Lynch Futures CEO John J. Conheeney) and the kids were all standing around the bed and it

was a cathedral-like room. And I thought, ‘I have a choice. If I turn right, I will not come back. If I go down, I will come back and I’m not ready yet.’ And I came down.” She is a well-spoken woman with a goodnatured, staccato laugh and a confident, but informal manner. Dressed stylishly in a red and white Escada jacket and dark slacks, she looks born to live well, to have a tennis court and swimming pool and an assistant who brings her tea. But commercial fortune did not come until middle age and her affinity for women who struggle, and prevail, is clearly personal. Mary Higgins was born in New York City in 1927, an Irish-American whose immigrant father owned a popular pub. But when she was 11, her father died and the family lost their home. One of her brothers died of meningitis when she was a teenager. While still in high school, she worked as a switchboard operator to help support her family.

MORTGAGE WATCH
Rate falls to 3.43% WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell sharply this week and moved closer to historic lows, keeping homebuying and refinancing attractive. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for the 30-year fixed loan fell to 3.43 percent from 3.54 percent last week. That’s near the 3.31 percent reached in November, which was the lowest on records dating to 1971. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage dipped to 2.65 percent from 2.74 percent last week. That’s slightly above the record low of 2.63 percent, also reached in November. Low mortgage rates are helping sustain a housing recovery that began last year. Home sales and residential construction are up, prices are rising and more Americans are refinancing. That’s helped the broader economy.
BY MARY CAROL GARRITY Scripps Howard News Service Those of us who love interior decorating are passionate about creating an environment in our homes that is warm and welcoming, fills our senses and reflects who we are. Even though my personal decorating style is everevolving, there are a few cornerstones of the look I love. Here are four simple techniques I use. I hope they will inspire you, too. 1. Tuck natural objects into displays. I am not an outdoorsy girl. You won’t find me backpacking in the mountains or kayaking down a river. But spending a quiet moment in my courtyard fills me with peace and inspiration. So I always weave pieces of the natural world into my yearround decorating. I like how this little nod to nature gives my decor a natural, organic feel. One of my favorite icons is a bird’s nest. So I use lots of

Sometimes you’ll find them perched discreetly in the branches of a floral arrangement on my table, or on top of a candlestick on my mantel. Another
thought: Placing little faux nests under cloches on place settings of a dining table decorated for spring entertaining. Or welcome Mother Nature into your decor by

Insulate, caulk, plant to save on energy costs BY STEVE MCLINDEN bankrate.com You’ve heard the usual energysaving advice: Buy only Energy Star-rated appliances, replace incandescent light bulbs with those curly fluorescents, shop for cheaper electric providers, if they are available in your town. But many simpler, low-cost, energysaving strategies escape homeowners’ attention. Energy experts say about 35 percent of heating and cooling is lost through the roof, and even more escapes through the walls, windows, and doors, along with air leaks. “Making your home energyefficient means starting with the basics, and the most important of these are the proper sealing of air leaks and insulating sufficiently for your climate,” says Ronnie Kweller, a spokesperson for the Alliance to Save Energy in Washington, D.C. “Those steps can cut heating and cooling bills by up to 20 percent.” Unless it’s thoroughly waterdamaged, fiberglass insulation rarely needs replacing — though that doesn’t stop unsavory contractors from recommending changing it out. Go ahead and fluff out those areas that have been compressed from excessive attic tromping because fiberglass insulation needs trapped air to be effective. You can benefit by adding extra insulation. If yours is less than 9 inches thick, adding another layer could deliver significant extra savings. However, any thickness beyond 16 inches, except for those living far north in America, is typically unnecessary. With a little how-to research, installation is relatively easy, but be sure to wear a mask and gloves, don’t cover any vents — and don’t fall through the ceiling. Fiberglass insulation can range from 50 cents to $1 per square foot, but the blown-in variety can cost nearly double that. “Air infiltration” is fancy lingo for “drafts.” One time-tested way to
Financing to make you feel at home
detect air infiltration is to hold a lighted candle a few inches from doors, baseboards, window frames, pipes and vents, after turning off all fans, heating and air conditioning. If the candle flickers or is blown out, sealing is needed. Use a caulk gun (sometimes old caulk must be removed first) to seal gaps in walls and windows, and add weatherstripping under gaps in doors. Another avoid-thedraft tip: Use heavier drapes over windows in winter. A programmable thermostat that adjusts temperatures automatically will set you back between $60 and $120, but save you about $180 a year, according to Energy Star. Smart thermostats are pricier, varying from $275 to $400, but they let you change settings remotely anywhere you have an Internet connection. They’re handy for folks with fluctuating schedules or who tend to entertain clients, family members and other guests at home on an impromptu basis. Some smart thermostats have monitoring systems that track energy use in various circuits around the house, so you can make adjustments where needed. Before taking that plunge, consider smartphone apps that allow you to dim lights and control thermostats, power strips and other connected devices from your phone. Standby power, also called “vampire” or “phantom” power, is consumed when electrical devices idle in standby mode. These phantoms can suck the life out of your energy budget, accounting for as much as 10 percent of the average home’s electricity use. Most computers, video game consoles and other gizmos with standby connections have settings that you can adjust to power-saving mode. Do so. Older power strips and adapters (typically those warm to the touch) with standby current should be replaced.

your garden: branches of forsythia, dogwood or red buds, a compote holding a tight mound of hyacinths or hydrangeas, or a cluster of little vases that each contains a single daffodil. Weaving natural elements into your decor doesn’t need to take much time. For one stunning centerpiece, we just ringed a lovely blue-and-white jar with a fern wreath. The wreath adds color and a bit of wild excitement to a very elegant tablescape. I am crazy about moss balls right now. These cuties are organic and earthy, yet structural, giving a tableau a pop of bright color and an injection of fun. Plus, they are foolproof to use. Just toss a jumble into a cachepot and stick it on a table for a quick display. Or crown a cluster of little urns with an assortment of moss balls. Group them together on a tray, and you’ve got a killer display in minutes. 2. Add layers for visual interest. Couple several decorative elements together to create one harmonious, intricate scene. The number of layers is up to you. One place to bring in beautiful layers is on your sofa. Toss a summer quilt over the back or arm for added texture and pattern. Then, accessorize with an intriguing mix of pillows. The most striking bedding ensembles are those that are rich with layers. Fresh white sheets covered with a duvet, capped by a contrasting quilt folded at the bottom, are the foundation. The finish is an eye-catching assortment of pillows, starting with a line of Euro shams at the back, fronted
by standard pillows, then a sprinkling of special shapes, like neck rolls and lumbar pillows and squares. 3. Work in whimsy. Sometimes, we just take ourselves a little too seriously, don’t we? One way to lighten our mood, and the look of home decor, is to tuck in whimsical objects that make us smile. The bar in a good friend’s formal living room is very elegant, until you look a bit closer. The feet of the fancy silver tray holding the bar service are just that — feet! They look like little human digits, holding the tray aloft. What a hoot! I also get a kick out of a planter of the garden goddess, with plants growing out of her head, making one crazy hairdo. Some mornings, I swear my hair looks the same! I really like to decorate with figurines. Depending upon their size, you can weave them into grand or petite displays, using them as the focal point or as a little surprise to reward the careful viewer. 4. Find creative uses for decorative elements. One favorite plan of attack is to use accents in unusual ways to solve daily decorating dilemmas, like how to keep your books from falling over in your bookcase. Since my home is filled to the brim with Dan’s stacks and stacks of books, I’ve had plenty of practice finding items to use as interesting bookends, turning what could be an eyesore into a fetching display. Consider using a lamp and an architectural element to sandwich a stack of books. Presto! A layered display.

degrees. What’s more, shading your outdoor air-conditioning unit can increase its efficiency by 10 percent. The U.S. Department of Energy says that such energy-efficient landscaping provides a return on investment in about eight years. Consider an energy audit, especially if the energy bills are still high after you have spent a bundle on windows or on a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system. Some utility companies offer free audits, but they aren’t as thorough as audits performed by competent private companies, which charge around $400.
REAL ESTATE TODAY
Playing in the dirt For all that ails me, I garden BY JOE LAMP’L Scripps Howard News Service Gardening is my passion. For nearly all my life, it’s been my favorite way to relax, create and feel at one with nature. Before my wife and I had children, I’d be up before sunrise each weekend, dressed and ready to take on the yard and garden at dawn’s first light. I’d stay out all day, only coming inside when I ran out of daylight, thoroughly exhausted, yet completely exhilarated. Even after a full day, I’d be in bed, my mind racing with the excitement of a new day ahead and another opportunity to play in the dirt. Things have changed a lot over the years, though. While my desire is as strong as ever, for more than a decade now, as the host of three national gardening television shows, much of my gardening has been spent only talking about it rather than doing it. Even after having seen some of the most beautiful gardens in the world since then, there’s no place I’d rather be than getting my hands dirty in my own little plot of land, no matter how humble it may be. Even a few minutes of time spent in the act of gardening, however you define it, can be wonderful therapy. As I disengage momentarily from my dirty indulgence to reenter the real world, I realize I have been engrossed in my private little paradise for hours, oblivious to everything else around me. Whatever time I spend with my hands in the dirt, I emerge refreshed and rejuvenated. It’s hard to explain, but there must be some supernatural power that comes from the soil. I’ve witnessed it countless times. From the young school children who can’t wait to get their few minutes of garden time at school, to the corporate volunteers installing a community garden in a day, to those who simply sit within a garden and take in its peacefulness and beauty, we all have a connection to the garden at some level. Yet in spite of all the many benefits that gardening has to offer, it continues to compete for our time and attention. The reason, I believe, is that we’re far too busy with far less important things. I believe that being too busy is exact-
ly the reason we need gardens even more. These days we want everything now so we can get to the next task. Even microwave popcorn that only took three minutes has a new and improved version to pop more quickly. This quick-fix, results-oriented mentality that has taken over our lives has found its way into gardening, too. Plants are being developed that are considered goof-proof, so we don’t have to take the time to water or care for them as much. Considering that I never seem to have any spare time, I should be thrilled with this news. And yet, I find it sad. To me, one of the greatest pleasures of gardening is in the process. It’s as much about the act of gardening as the results. I hope we all slow down enough to appreciate the subtleties of the “doing” part of gardening. That’s where the real beauty is. In fact, the slowness of gardening is what allows me to catch my breath and to escape the otherwise crazy pace on a given day. It’s where I go to heal, physically and mentally. It’s all right with me if gardening remains slow and not so convenient. I don’t mind the labor it requires. I don’t look at gardening as a chore. I look at it as an opportunity. Let’s find ways to save time in other areas of our lives, so we can spend more time in the garden, enjoying the process and all its related benefits. It has a magical spell that washes over those who will give it a chance. For me, time stands still and yet flies by. I become unaware of everything except what is before me and I’m lost in the moment. Ironically, in spite of its sometimes very physical demands, I am relaxed and totally satisfied. There’s no place I’d rather be.
