W.M. man charged in murder Victim’s roommate in custody BY MELODY VALLIEU Staff Writer vallieu@tdnpublishing.com A West Milton man has been charged in the death of his roommate following a Friday incident. West Milton Police Chief Garry Kimpel said officers responded at
Prayers, silence mark Titanic anniversary With prayers, a hymn and a moment of silence broken by a ship’s deep whistle, passengers and crew on a memorial trip marked 100 years to the moment since the Titanic sent more than 1,500 people to a watery grave. As the 1912 disaster was commemorated around the world, the city that built the vessel Belfast, Northern Ireland looked back on the tragic sinking with a distinctive mixture of sorrow and pride.

Residents: Storm warnings saved lives The television was tuned to forecasters’ dire warnings of an impending storm when Greg Tomlyanobich heard a short burst from a tornado siren blare after midnight Sunday. Then silence. Then rumbling. The 52-year-old quickly grabbed his wife and grandson, hurrying them into the emergency cellar as debris whirled around their heads at their mobile home park in northwest Oklahoma.

Biffle returns to Victory Lane While the 49-race winless streak was wearing somewhat on Greg Biffle, there were also enough encouraging signs during the 18-month drought that he would win more races. “It will take years off your life. I’ve probably lost several,” Biffle said. “What kept me going or what keeps your spirit up is when you run good. … We have run good, we just hadn’t finished.” See Page 14.

Realistic goals Looney looking to crack top 10 at Boston Marathon

Troy man drives car through garage Suspect flees scene, struggles with officer
BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com ccording to Mark Looney, realistic goal-setting is critical to running a marathon. His idea of reality is just different than most. “A lot of people run their first marathon just looking to finish,” Looney said. “Establishing realistic goals is important. Some do it for the fun. I’ve always liked the TROY competitive nature.” And he has his sights set on the pinnacle. Looney, a veteran of 25 marathons — and, most recently, a ninth-place finisher in the Air Force marathon — will be running today in the 116th running of the famed Boston Marathon. It will be his fifth time competing in the event. “It’s the Super Bowl of marathons,” Looney said. “It’s a great celebration of running. Basically, I’m looking to run a good race, looking for a good time and good finish in my age group … and to enjoy myself.” His idea of a good finish at age 50 in the senior division? Cracking the top 10. Which he has a very real shot at doing. Looney’s ninth-place Air Force Marathon finish helped him qualify for the Boston Marathon — the only marathon in the country that is qualification based. He has won the Buffalo Marathon twice, and his previous experience at Boston will only serve to help more. “Marathon running is very much mental as well

A Troy man, under the influence, drove his car into a house and through a garage Saturday night. Troy Police Department Sgt. Ryan Carsey said Lance Furrow, 20, Troy, drove a Ford Explorer into the corner of a house at 190 W. Market St., and completely through a garage at 202 W. Market St. at 10:10 p.m. Saturday. Carsey said the car ended up in the back yard of the house on Peters Road. When the vehicle came to a stop, Carsey said Furrow ran from the officer, but was caught a short time later. Carsey said Furrow struggled with the officer before being taken into custody. Carsey said Furrow was under the influence, but police are awaiting toxicology reports.

identified as Malisa DeLaSancha, who was initially transported to Upper Valley Medical Center before being airlifted to Children’s Medical Center in Dayton where she died Saturday afternoon, said Piqua Police Chief Bruce Jamison. Travis L. Gauldin, 21, of Piqua, was expected to be arraigned on that count of murder today in
PIQUA Miami County Municipal Court after being held over the weekend at the Miami County Jail on an unrelated charge of domestic violence. Gauldin lived at the residence with the victim, her mother and other children and was babysitting the victim Thursday night when the fall occurred
inside a home at 1012 Caldwell St., according to police and a 9-1-1 call Gauldin made for help. At this time, authorities are not releasing any other details regarding the child’s death citing the ongoing murder investigation and Jamison referred all other questions to the Miami County Prosecutor’s Office. “She fell down the stairs and I need help,”
Gauldin told an emergency dispatcher during a 9-1-1 call obtained by the newspaper. “Her heart is not beating. … She is not breathing.” Paramedics and police were dispatched to the Caldwell Street home Thursday night at 10:56 p.m. while the victim’s mother was at work and found Gauldin performing CPR on the child in an attempt to revive her.

beefier than you would think. And he’s a triathlete, also, so he’s got a lot of running skill.” For Looney, though, running has been about plenty more than competing. He spent the last few seasons coaching Lehman High School’s cross country team, teaching the sport while his children Sean, Erin and Shannon ran for the Cavaliers. And he sponsors his friend Jason Lokwatom, who is from Kenya, a fellow Buffalo Marathon winner and has been his understudy for four years. “I’ve evolved a little,” Looney said. “I grew up being a very competitive runner. But for the past five years, I’ve been trying to share my knowledge. I’ve also coached a local running group called ‘Reasons to Run,’ and I meet up with a group of runners at Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees to talk about training. “Being a senior runner, a lot of people look to me for advice, and I like the companionship. You’ll see a lot of groups running around town.” And he won’t be alone in Boston, either, as six other runners from Troy — Joshua Albright, Julie Blair, Merlin Collins, Jim McGail, David Powers and Bernie Vogel — will also be running the marathon. “It’s been a very satisfying career, but it’s not

CARTAGENA, Colombia (AP) — Exposing a rift with Israel, President Barack Obama on Sunday insisted that the United States has not “given anything away” in new talks with Iran as he defended his continued push for a diplomatic resolution to the dispute over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. Obama said he refused to let the talks turn into a “stalling process,” but believed there was still time for diplomacy. His assessment, delivered at the close of a Latin American summit in Colombia, came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday had said the U.S. and world powers gave Tehran a “freebie” by agreeing to hold more talks next month. Obama shot back: “The notion that somehow we’ve given something away or a ‘freebie’ would indicate Iran has gotten something. In fact, they’ve got some of the toughest sanctions that they’re going to be facing coming up in just a few months if they don’t take advantage of these talks.” Still, in a news conference here, Obama warned to Iran, “The clock’s ticking.” Winding down his threeday trip in the port city of Cartagena, Obama also sought to offer hope for fresh start with Cuba, saying the U.S. would welcome the communist-run island’s transition to democracy. There could be an opportunity for such a shift in the coming years, Obama said.

Titanic: 100 Years One of the most famous events in history is the tragic sinking of Titanic. The ill-fated ship sank just four days after starting her maiden voyage from Southampton in England, killing over two-thirds of the passengers on board. These events have been made into many films, books, and television documentaries as people still try to understand just what happened and how a ship said to be "unsinkable" could have met such a fate. The History of the Titanic Titanic was made by the White Star Line company, who decided to build ships to a size and level of luxury unlike anything before. The building of Titanic began in March 1909, in Belfast in Ireland. There was much publicity and the ship was famous even before it was finished as news of its chandeliers, ballrooms and passenger rooms fitted with electric lights and heating. When it finally set sail from Southampton to New York on April 10, 1912, it had 2,224 passengers and crew members on board yet was only equipped with 16 lifeboats, which would hold only 1,708 people. The White Star Line knew they should have had more but chose not to as they didn't want the decks to look cluttered and spoil the look of the ship. On April 14, four days into its voyage, Titanic received five ice warnings yet failed to slow down. When, at 11:40 at night a lookout spotted an iceberg but it was too late to turn around and hit the iceberg. This collision ripped a 300 foot long hole in the ship, which immediately began filling the lower compartments with icy water. It wasn't until 45 minutes later that the first lifeboat was launched and by the time the last boat launched there were still more than 1,500 passengers left on the sinking ship. At 2:10 a.m. the rear of the ship rose out of the water and due to its vast weight the ship then split into two. Eventually Titanic completely sank. As there were not enough life jackets many people tried to cling to anything they could find that would float.

Eventually 1,522 people died from drowning or hypothermia. When news of Titanic's distress was known the first to try and help was Arthur Rostron, an Englishman who was at the wheel of Carpathia. He was 58 miles away from the sinking vessel, and he knew that it would take him almost 4 hours to travel this distance. He sent a message saying he was sailing fast and hard. Even though he would have to pass through the same dangerous, icy waters, Captain Rostron did not hesitate. Carpathia was steaming as fast as the crew could make her go but the Titanic had gone under quickly. He and his crew were able to save some people, but by the time they had arrived just 710 people were still alive out of 2,224. The famous Carpathia was honored as “the Titanic rescue ship”, but in 1918, Carpathia sank after being hit by 2 torpedoes fired by a German U boat. The tragedy of Titanic is often referred to today as the "greatest maritime disaster in history."
Number of people on board: 2212 Children: 54 Number of lifeboats: 20 Lifeboat capacity: 1178 Survivors: 705 Designed top speed: 23-24 kilometers Top speed attained: 22 1/2 kilometers
First class cabins on Olympic and Titanic were designed in a range of styles including Old Dutch, Italian Renaissance, and Empire.
Some Interesting Facts on the Titanic
Titanic Word Search
• The ship was loaded with only enough lifeboats to hold half of the Titanic passengers. There were 20 of them with a total capacity of 1,178 people. • Some of the limited lifeboats were lowered to the waters only half-full. • Further facts on the Titanic indicate that the ship received information earlier regarding the presence of ice floes in the vicinity, yet continued to speed full throttle ahead towards tragedy. • Among the property reported as lost on the Titanic were more than 3,000 bags of mail and an automobile. • Each first class passenger paid a whopping $4,350 for a parlor suite ticket and $150 for a berth ticket. • The ship contained a heated swimming pool, a first for any sailing vessel. • The ship was still so brand new when passengers boarded it on April 10, 1912, that the paint was still wet in some spots. • Every stateroom contained electric lighting and heat. • Of the 1,517 people of perished in the sinking of the Titanic, only 306 bodies were recovered. • The largest percentage of survivors came from first class passengers. • Even though directions have been given for women and children to board the lifeboats first, a number of men were reported as survivors while a surprisingly large number of women and children perished in the disaster. Most of the women and children lost in the sinking came from second and third class. • Sadly, Captain Smith had made plans to retire after seeing the Titanic safely across the Atlantic on her maiden voyage. • It cost $7,500,000 to build the Titanic. • It took three years to fully construct the ship. • Among the provisions when the Titanic set sail in Southampton, England were 40,000 eggs, 75,000 pounds of fresh meat and 1,000 bottles of wine. • The Titanic's total capacity was 3,547 passengers + crew. • The Titanic's weight fully loaded was 46,328 tons. • The Titanic was 882 feet/268 meters long. • There were 29 boilers on board of the ship. • The ship consumed 825 tons of coal in one day. • The top speed of the Titanic was 23 knots.

The Ghost in the Courthouse Statue Written by Bill Bailey Illustrated by Michelle Duckworth Chapter 3 Hold the presses! New editor in town
Humpty piped up. "His mom says if he didn't spend so much time lost in 'Donnie Land,' he could make all A's." Looking at Humpty and then me, the stranger beamed, shaking his head. "You're good! Your lips only moved a touch. You and me... and Humpty... are going to make quite a team." I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. But I was going to find out soon. Mom was right about my getting lost in Donnie Land. In my daydreams, I was always saving the day - a lot of times even saving Mom from some kind of danger. Sometimes the stakes were even bigger, and I had super-powers like being able to fly. I would zoom off to Washington, D.C., to meet the president and save the world. The president would brag about how brave and great I was, and everybody would cheer like crazy. In the real world, I not only wasn't a hero. I felt like a drag on Mom, sometimes even an embarrassment. But in Donnie Land, at the end of every fantasy, I was a big hero. So, could anybody really blame me for wanting to spend time there? Glancing at Felix's nose-in-theair pose, the stranger said, "What a pompous blowhard!" Felix's eyes appeared to glitter. Then he seemed to silently mouth the question, "Blow hard?" Immediately, a sudden blast of wind blew the stranger's sunglasses out of his hand. As he stooped to pick them up, another gust nudged them out of his reach. This happened several times, with the new guy bent over waddling like a duck, reaching for them. He looked so ridiculous, I couldn't help but laugh. Finally he leapt for them, but missed, grabbing a woman's shoe instead. The shoe had a foot in it. My mom's. She tried to pull back. With him pinning her foot to the ground, she wobbled around like a bobblehead. "Wha-what do you think you're doing?" Mom gasped. The stranger looked up at her. He slowly let go of her foot, scooped up his shades, and straightened to a standing position. "Juh... Jake Passmore," he said. "Holly. Holly Hutchison," Mom said. After slapping on his shades, he looked her up and down slowly. "My, my.... The scenery down here just got a whole lot better." I winced. That was totally the wrong way to go with Mom.
"I'm the new -" "The new owner of The Jefferson Times," she said. "Mr. Elder's nephew." "Yeah, that's me, all right," said Jake. "Owner, editor, and publisher." "You must have been really close to your uncle," Mom said. "No," he said. "Only met Uncle George once when I was a kid." "But he gave his paper to you in his will," Mom said, her reporter's instincts kicking in. She cut to the chase. "I wonder why, since he hardly knew you." "He was probably proud of having a real journalist in the family," he said. "I've won my share of awards." "You're going to break your arm doing that," Mom said. "Doing what?" he asked. "Patting yourself on the back so hard." I had to hand it to Mom. She could be pretty cool sometimes. "Oo-wee, I see we have some attitude here," he said. "No matter. One way or another, I'm gonna pump some life into that old rag of a newspaper. Make it into something the old man would be proud of." "I hear you quit being a real journalist when you left The New York Times to work for some trashy tabloid," she said. "I doubt Mr. Elder was very proud of that." "Well, maybe I can hit 'reset' and become a real journalist," he said. "So, what passes for news in this booming metropolis?
The 4-H Club hog contest? Women's mud-rasslin'?" "I wouldn't look down my nose at small town journalism if I were you," Mom said. "The Jefferson Times can't survive without it." "Oh, I think it can," he said. "I've got a new approach." "Can't wait to hear about it," Mom said. "What do you do around here when you're not putting outsiders in their place?" he asked. "Oh, the usual," she said. "Slop the hogs, churn the butter, milk the cows." He smiled. "You'd look great doing all three." Mom shot him a look that would stunt growth. If there was one thing she despised, it was a cocky ladies man. "Is there any way I could talk you into worming your way back to that Big Apple you crawled out of?" she asked. Humpty looked worried. "If this keeps up, he's gonna fire her before they even start working together," he said. "Mom will probably quit before he has the chance," I said. And I hated to see that happen. This was the only grown-up I'd ever met who wanted Humpty and me on his team. That was when I looked up and saw help on the way. He was not a guy who would normally come to mind, if you were looking for a peacemaker. In fact, it was hard to imagine him ever being helpful in any way. But for once in my life, I was glad to see him.

STORY SO FAR: Donnie suspects there's a ghost inside of Felix LaBauve's statue. After a spooky incident with some mean kids, Donnie and his puppet, Humpty, insult Felix. When he hears a loud screech, Donnie dives to the ground to avoid the ghost attack. The screech grew louder, and I realized I was shaking in fear, with Humpty face down on the ground beside me. Peeking past the statue, I finally saw the source of the noise. A candy apple red Corvette convertible, its brakes screeching, jolted to a stop in front of The Jefferson Times. A guy wearing a New York "Big Apple" T-shirt, sunglasses, a perfect tan, and a selfsatisfied smile hopped out. He pushed his shades into his thick, slicked-back hair. "I must be on 'The Andy Griffith Show!'" he said into his cell phone. I saw his alert eyes taking in the people on the square. You could tell he didn't miss a thing - the folks sitting on the courthouse lawn benches, the women walking the sidewalks and window-shopping, the men playing checkers in front of the Roadside Restaurant. Finally, his eyes cut to Humpty and me. I got up from the ground, dusting both of us off. "What's with the new dude?" Humpty asked. "I don't know," I said. "But we're about to find out. He's headed our way." As the man got closer, his eyes darted from Humpty to me. "Ventriloquist?" he asked. Mom had taught me not to talk to strangers. So I tried to run him off by saying something strange. "Yeah, me and Humpty are talking to the ghost inside this statue." "Weird-o-rama!" the stranger said, rubbing his hands together excitedly. "I love it." "You do?" I asked. "You bet," he said, staring down at me with a serious look. "Has the ghost talked back?" For a brief moment, I was speechless. "Uh, no, not yet," I said. "But I know he's in there." "Too bad," he said, pulling the shades from his hair and twirling them around as he thought this over. "If that ghost ever talks to you, let me know, kid. We might run a story on that in the newspaper, especially if we can get an adult or two to go along with it." Looking around at the folks on the square, he muttered, "Doesn't look like that would be much of a problem." That's a strange angle, I thought. Something seemed wrong about it, but I couldn't quite figure what. Then it hit me. His idea of what would make a good news story was way different from Mom's. "You've got an 'egg-strordinary' imagination there, kid," he said. That was when I realized we had a certain something in common. "You know, an imagination is a great gift," he said. "It is?" I wondered aloud.

ANALYSIS
Syria’s Assad could exploit diplomacy BEIRUT (AP) — Facing a U.N.-brokered deadline to end the bloodshed in Syria, President Bashar Assad is likely to try to manipulate the terms of the plan to buy more time. It’s a matter of survival: If Assad fully implements a cease-fire and pulls back troops that have been suppressing the year-old uprising, large swaths of the country could slip out of the regime’s control. Assad has little choice but to comply in some way with the April 10 deadline set by international envoy Kofi Annan, in part because his chief backers of Russia and China have given the plan their full support. Indeed, a Syrian government official said Tuesday that troops have begun withdrawing from mainly calm cities and are returning to their bases. In tense areas, however, regime forces are merely taking positions on the outskirts, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations. The Annan proposal calls for the withdrawal of Syrian troops and heavy military equipment from populated areas, followed by an overall cease-fire first by government forces and then by the opposition. The halt in fighting would then pave the way for talks on a political solution. If the past is any guide, Assad will try to exploit these details. The regime has agreed to peace deals in the past only to ignore them on the ground or blame rebels for instigating violence. This time, the Syrian leader has ample room to maneuver. Western leaders have pinned their hopes on Annan’s diplomatic pressure, with the U.S. and its allies unwilling to get deeply involved in another Arab nation in turmoil. Even though Washington has a clear interest in seeing Assad go, in part because it would be a blow to Syria’s ally, Iran, the Obama administration is reluctant to use force. Several rounds of sanctions from the U.S. and the European Union have done little to stop the bloodshed, and Russia and China are blocking strong action at the U.N. Security Council. The opposition is weak and divided, wracked by infighting and power struggles. Regime forces have retaken the major opposition strongholds, the rebels are low on money and guns, and the U.N. has ruled out any military intervention of the type that led to the downfall of Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi. A plan by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries to funnel millions of dollars a month to Syrian rebels could help tip the balance at some point, but details of the money pipeline are unclear. Against this backdrop, the Annan plan, in some ways, favors the regime by not calling for Assad to leave power, as a previous Arab League proposal demanded. Assad, therefore, would remain the point man for the diplomatic process. Few observers expect Assad to fully comply with the plan to pull out all his tanks. The presence of Syrian tanks, along with security forces and snipers, have largely succeeded in preventing protesters from recreating the fervor of Egypt’s Tahrir Square, where hundreds of thousands of people camped out in a powerful show of dissent that ultimately drove longtime leader Hosni Mubarak from power. Still, the Syrian regime has ways to maintain authority even without the military, in the form of pro-regime gunmen known as “shabiha” and the fiercely loyal and pervasive security apparatus.
EDITORIAL ROUNDUP The Charlotte Observer on the Trayvon Martin case: Let’s be honest: Almost no one knows exactly what happened in the moments before George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin to death. So all those proclaiming that Zimmerman is guilty or innocent really don’t know. That’s not stopping people on either side from answering that question. Pew and other research shows that the case has split sharply along partisan and racial lines. That’s understandable on views of the criminal
justice system, race and gun rights. But on whether Zimmerman is guilty of murder? That’s a question of law that no one can answer without exhaustive testimony from witnesses, forensic experts and others. That’s why Zimmerman should be arrested and have his day in court. Absent that, the speculation is never-ending. Why is this playing out in the media instead of in a courtroom? Under Florida’s generally wrong-headed “Stand Your Ground” law, Zimmerman is not guilty of a crime if Martin was
attacking him and putting his life in danger. On the other hand, an unarmed 17-year-old has been shot dead and no one has been arrested. We don’t know if Zimmerman is guilty. We do know there are enough questions to suggest he might be. Get him in a courtroom and let the justice system run its course. The problem so far is that there’s no justice, not because he’s definitely guilty but because law enforcement hasn’t even gone through a process to find out.

DOONESBURY
The ‘round to it has finally met its match Procrastinators, take heart. If you are one of the millions of people who can find an excuse — no matter how improbable — to delay doing some onerous chore, good news awaits. As a person who collects dirty plates off the table while my dinner guests are lifting the last forkful to their mouths, I — to put it mildly — am not the sort of person to put things off. I am also not a popular hostess. But I do get things done, just sometimes prematurely. This is in direct contrast to those who can postpone anything. These are the people who wait until they are entirely out of remotely serviceable clothes to do the laundry, they pay all their bills at 11:59 p.m. on the due date, and haven’t yet dedicated four solid days to watching all the Harry Potter movies back-to-back. These are the people for whom the post office will stay open until midnight tonight. Their refrigerators sport circular magnets with “Tuit” inscribed on them, given to them by frustrated co-workers and spouses after years of hearing the gospel according to the procrastinator; “I’ll do it when I get around to it.” These are the people who think their ability to ignore pressing obligations is charming. These
Marla Boone Troy Daily News Columnist are the people we Type A personalities threaten over and over to “teach a lesson.” Why, we’ll just let them wear dirty clothes or pay a late fee or suffer the indignity of not knowing the true identity of the Half-Blood Prince. We never follow through, of course. We’ve already done the darned laundry and paid the bills and have gone on to discover (SPOILER ALERT) the Prince is really one of the good guys. We find the procrastinators’ quirks less charming than a serious and perhaps fatal character flaw that should be punishable by death or at least by mandatory compulsive list making. Or maybe living with a Type A is punishment enough. But now, thanks to the miracle of the Internet, folks who are long on to-do lists and short on initia-
tive have a way out. It’s an expensive way out, but beggars (nor procrastinators, evidently) can’t be choosers. The good folks at a site called TaskRabbit are sitting by their monitors, waiting to match your undone jobs with their willing workers and charge you fifteen per cent of the fee for the luxury of doing so. All a person has to do is log on to TaskRabbit, list the chores he wants someone else to do for him, and wait for the hired help to bid on those jobs. I know this is on the up-and-up because 1) I read about it in New York magazine and 2) It is the Internet after all. When I first read about TaskRabbit, I was a little well, let’s say a lot … surprised about some of the jobs the reviewer wanted some stranger to come into his house and complete. First of the jobs this guy had been putting off was to hook up a printer to a computer. Seriously. I can barely spell computer, but I know this task consists, in its entirety, of plugging the printer into the wall and downloading the driver. A dumb second-grader or fairly determined adult could do this in about ten minutes. Who doesn’t have ten minutes? Another job was to clean out
and reorganize a pantry closet. The reviewer estimated this would take him one full day. Obviously the reviewer does not know the key to cleaning out any closet is to be fast and to be brutal. The remorse can come later when you realize you need exactly what you threw out 36 hours previously. But how can a stranger know if you want to keep green beans that are just slightly past their expiration date? If you have to answer bothersome questions such as ‘Do you want this bag of badly fractured taco shells?” you might as well do it yourself. Years ago I read a story by a semi-famous author concerning his bout with writer’s block. He simply could not seem to get words down on paper. Drowning his sorrows in a hotel bar one night, he was approached by a woman of questionable morals who muttered in his ear, “I’ll do anything you want for fifty dollars.” “Great,” he replied, much relieved. “Go upstairs and write eight hundred words and a sidebar.” A man ahead of his time.

Prayers and silence mark Titanic centenary

World remembers disaster, victims
Titanic ticket sold at New York auction

Helen Edwards, 62, from Silver Spring, Md., reflects as the MS Balmoral Titanic memorial cruise ship approaches the wreck site of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean, on Saturday. A century after the great ship went down with the loss of 1,500 lives, events around the globe are marking a tragedy that retains a titanic grip on the world’s imagination — an icon of Edwardian luxury that became, in a few dark hours 100 years ago, an enduring emblem of tragedy.
6-year old Alex Warouaon from Chicago, Ohio, whose greatgreat-greatgrandfather died in the Titanic disaster, touches his name Anthony Frost, on the Titanic Memorial Plaque during the service at Belfast City Hall, Northern Ireland, Sunday, 100 years after the Titanic sank.
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York auction house has sold an original ticket to the 1912 launch of the Titanic and a dinner menu from the ill-fated ocean liner, plus items recovered from the wreckage miles underwater. On the block Sunday at Bonhams were various Titanic remnants offered to mark the centennial of its
On Saturday, thousands attended a memorial concert in Belfast featuring performances by Bryan Ferry and soul singer Joss Stone. At St. Anne’s Cathedral in the city, a performance of composer Philip Hammond’s “The Requiem for the Lost Souls of the Titanic” was followed by a torch-lit procession to the Titanic memorial garden in the grounds of city hall. The requiem performed by male choristers dressed as ship’s crew and female performers in black also included words by Belfast novelist Glenn Patterson, who imagined the victims reflecting on all they had missed in the last 100 years. “We passed instead into myth, launched a library full of books, enough film to cross the Atlantic three times over, more conspiracy theories than Kennedy, 97 million web pages, a tourist industry, a requiem or two,” Patterson said. “We will live longer than every one of you.” Remembrance ceremonies also were being held in the ship’s departure port of Southampton, southern England home to sinking. The historic admission ticket fetched $56,250, including the auction house premium. The menu, touting choices like the tongue of a castrated rooster and beef sirloin with horseradish, sold for $31,250. Both went to private American buyers, said Gregg Dietrich, Bonhams’
hundreds of Titanic crew who perished and in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where more than 100 victims of the tragedy are buried. The most famous maritime disaster in history was being marked even in places without direct links to it. Venues in Las Vegas, San Diego, Houston and Singapore hosted Titanic exhibitions that include artifacts recovered from the site of the wreck. Among the items: bottles of perfume, porcelain dishes, and a 17-foot piece of hull. Helen Edwards, one of 1,309 passengers on the Balmoral memorial cruise who spent the past week steeped in the Titanic’s history and symbolism, said the story’s continuing appeal was due to its strong mixture of romance and tragedy, history and fate. “(There are) all the factors that came together for the ship to be right there, then, to hit that iceberg. All the stories of the passengers who ended up on the ship,” said Edwards, a 62year-old retiree from Silver Spring, Maryland. “It’s just a microcosm of social history, personal histories, nautical histories. maritime consultant. He said one surprise at the auction was the comparatively low price paid for a telegraph that read, “We have struck an iceberg.” That message sold for $27,500 was sent to Titanic’s sister ship, the Olympic, about three hours before the Titanic sank just days into its maiden voyage.

“Romance is an appropriate word right up until the time of the tragedy the band playing, the clothes. And then there’s the tragedy.” As the world paused to remember the victims, a U.S. official revealed there may be human remains embedded in the ocean floor where the Titanic came to rest. James Delgado, director of maritime heritage at the National Oceanic and A t m o s p h e r e Administration, said Saturday that one photograph taken during a 2004 expedition shows a coat and boots in the mud. He said the way the items are laid out makes a “compelling case” that it is where “someone has come to rest.” Delgado released the full image this week to coincide with the disaster’s centenary. It was previously seen in a cropped version.
• Murray Rose SYDNEY (AP) — Murray Rose, a four-time Olympic champion distance swimmer for Australia, died Sunday. He was 73. Swimming Australia said Murray died of leukemia. The Scotland-born Rose won three golds at the 1956 Melbourne Games, becoming a national hero at 17. He won a gold, silver and bronze four years later in Rome. His golds in 1956 came in the 400and 1,500-meter freestyle events and the 4x-200meter freestyle relay. In Rome, he won the 400 free, took silver in the 1,500 and bronze in the 4x200 free relay. “I’m just extremely sad at the passing of one of the greatest swimmers of all time and a great mate,” said John Konrads, who beat out Rose for the 1,500 gold in Rome. Rose eventually set 15 world records, including marks in the 400, 800, and 1,500 freestyles. “Murray Rose is part of the swimming DNA in this country,” Swimming Australia president David Urquhart said. 2270132
list all victims alphabetically, with no distinction between passengers and crew members, or between first-, second- or third-class travelers. “We remember all those who perished and whose names are herein inscribed men, women and children who loved and we loved, their loss still poignantly felt by their descendants,” the Rev. Ian Gilpin told the crowd. After a minute’s silence, a choir sang “Nearer My God To Thee” the hymn Titanic’s band is reported to have played as the ship went down. Belfast spent decades scarred by its link to the disaster, but has come to take pride in the feats of engineering and industry involved in building the ship. Last month, a gleaming new visitor attraction, Titanic Belfast, opened on the site of the shipyard where the doomed vessel was built. “The focus of the world is on Belfast and we are doing her proud,” said Una Reilly, chair of the Belfast Titanic Society. “We are all proud of this ship. What happened was a disaster; she was not.”

ABOARD MS BALMORAL (AP) — With prayers, a hymn and a moment of silence broken by a ship’s deep whistle, passengers and crew on a memorial trip marked 100 years to the moment since the Titanic sent more than 1,500 people to a watery grave. As the 1912 disaster was commemorated around the world, the city that built the vessel Belfast, Northern Ireland looked back on the tragic sinking with a distinctive mixture of sorrow and pride. In the North Atlantic, passengers lined the decks of the MS Balmoral, a cruise ship that has been retracing the route of the doomed voyage, as the ship stopped early Sunday at the spot where the Titanic went down in the early hours of April 15, 1912. After a short service and a moment of silence, three floral wreaths were cast onto the waves as the ship’s whistle sounded in the dark. Jane Allen from Devon in southwest England, whose great-uncle perished on the Titanic, said the moment vividly reminded her of the horror of the disaster. “All you could hear was the swell splashing against the side of the ship. You could see the white breakers stretching out to sea,” she told the BBC. “You are in the middle of nowhere. And then you look down over the side of the ship and you realize that every man and every woman who didn’t make it into a lifeboat had to make that decision, of when to jump or stay on the ship as the lights went out.” Another cruise ship, Journey, which traveled from New York, also held a service at the site, 400 miles (640 kilometers) off the coast of Newfoundland. The Titanic, the world’s largest and most luxurious ocean liner, was traveling from England to New York when it struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912. It sank less than three hours later, with the loss of all but 700 of the 2,208 passengers and crew. A century on, events around the globe marked a tragedy that retains its grip on the world’s imagination. In Belfast, a memorial monument was unveiled Sunday at a ceremony attended by local dignitaries, relatives of the dead and explorer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck of the Titanic on the ocean floor in 1985. A brass band played as the granite plinth bearing bronze plaques was uncovered beside Belfast City Hall. Officials say it is the first Titanic memorial to

It’s time to stand up for yourself
Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7:30 p.m.: INN News 9 p.m.: Around Troy
Dear Annie: This past year has been hell in my marriage. My husband has gone out of his way to mistreat me. It has been eight years since we have had sex. He claims it's due to a physical problem, but that's not true. I once spotted him fondling a female guest during a dinner prayer and getting excited. He told me I repulse him and that's why he won't do anything about his sex problem. I asked him to leave, and he refused, saying he'd let the house rot to the ground before I'd get it. So I moved out. He gave my cell number to our preacher and church members and told them he could not live without me. After receiving calls threatening to have me publicly removed from their membership, I went back to him. We went to our deacon's house for dinner last week, and he told them how he stayed home to take care of me after I was in a car accident, listing all the sacrifices he made on my behalf. He failed to mention that the reason he could stay home was that he had been fired from his job for sexual harassment — his third offense. The church thinks he is wonderful and I am the bad guy. I am not looking to destroy his reputation. I just want to get away from him before he further ruins my life. He has even lied to our children, saying I left because I have a boyfriend on the side. They believe him. What can I do? — I Am So Sad Dear Sad: Your husband is a bully who is counting on the fact that you won't defend yourself. Stop worrying about his reputation and consider your own. Please tell your children and the deacon the truth about your situation, and ask for their help. Counseling would be a good first step, with or without your husband, through your church or via your doctor's recommendation. Dear Annie: A friend and I met at a restaurant to have dinner with a few close family members. One of the attendees is an insulin dependent diabetic. Just after ordering, while seated at the table, this person raised his shirt and injected himself in the stomach with insulin. It was unexpected and not the dining experience my friend and I expected to share. I will be dining out with this person later this summer. What should I do or say to avoid a repeat of that unappetizing start to a meal? — Lost My Appetite Dear Lost: Unless these things can be done so discreetly that no one notices, it is best to inject insulin, insert contact lenses, brush hair, floss teeth, repeatedly blow one's nose, apply makeup, etc., in the restroom instead of subjecting your tablemates to your personal requirements. Some diabetics find this enormously inconvenient (and we can't blame them if the restrooms are unclean) and expect others to be tolerant. If your friend is one of those, we suggest you either avert your gaze and make the best of it, or tell the others to go ahead and order because you'll be arriving late. Dear Annie: I was compelled to respond to "Worried Mom," who complains about her 22year-old son's antisocial behavior while he is studying for the MCAT. I remember very well studying for the MCAT. I spent every waking hour of the weekends at the library so I would not be disturbed. I studied nonstop all week. My friends worried when I left events after only 30 minutes. My parents saw me rarely. The MCAT is a purposefully difficult exam. It weeds out those who are not serious about medicine as a career. Doctors sacrifice their personal lives for their patients. I recommend the parents do their son a huge favor and leave him alone. If he doesn't get into medical school due to insufficient study, he will forever regret his laxity. — M.D. and a Happily Married Mother of Two Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HINTS FROM HELOISE
Can dye-cloths be used for more than one load? Dear Heloise: My hint is that I love using the dye-trapping in-wash cloths, but they can be expensive. Sometimes, I’ll throw one in a load because I have one or two colored items and I’m not sure if their colors might run or not. When the load is done and I remove the sheet, if it’s still white, I save it and throw it in with another load, and it works fine. I can sometimes use the same sheet two or more times before I have to throw it out. I take the sheets right out of the washer, though. I don’t let them run through the dryer. — Sandra in Northern Virginia
Hints from Heloise Columnist Hi, Sandra! Good hint if it works for you. A major manufacturer of this type of product says not to reuse the cloths — to ensure best results, use a fresh cloth every time. My hint? Try cutting it in half for a small load to save a little. Thanks for the hint! Keep writing! — Heloise
FAST FACTS Dear Readers: Here are hints for stale bread: • Use to make croutons or bread crumbs. • Use to make French toast. • Feed to wild birds or ducks. • Make into bread pudding. • As a meatloaf thickener. — Heloise LOVELY LETTERS Dear Readers: A previous column shared how to get Valentine cards stamped with a special postmark. Well, what about other days of the year — an anniversary, birthday or other special occasion? Would you like a special
postmark for those days? Here are just a few cities that have re-mailing programs that might be perfect for a special occasion: For a little romance, try Romance, Ark. (72136). To send some love, Loving, N.M. (88256). Or try Darling, Miss. (38623). To have your cards postmarked, send them, preaddressed and stamped, in a larger envelope to the Postmaster of (selected city), Re-mailing program.

HOROSCOPE Monday, April 16, 2012 Although the aspects indicate some kind of increase in your material worth in the year ahead, unless you make yourself go after things in a big way, it will only be nominal. Set your sights on one major goal and go full tilt. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You may enter the day with high hopes, but unless something good happens to help you keep that positive attitude, the slightest upset will send you into a funk. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Upon occasion you’re apt to ignore those who have done the most for you, while rewarding the undeserving in hopes of getting their attention. This approach will do nothing for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — In order to get others to do your bidding, you might try to use some flattery. However, if the recipient doesn’t deserve your words of praise, you’ll get nowhere. Sincerity will have the greatest impact. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If you run into someone who can help you in your career, the use of levity could prove counterproductive. Keep your conversation on a serious plane. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — You’ll be of no help if you tell an advice seeker only what she or he wants to hear. You’ll do more for the other party if you are frank and forthright. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even if the truth is painful, be sure to base your judgment calls on facts. Decisions based on easy outs might make you feel good, but if they do nothing for you, they’re worthless. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t think it won’t anger your friends if you give them cause to think you’re nice only to those who can help you get what you want. Treat everyone with the same courtesy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even if members of the opposite sex usually find you quite appealing, don’t mistake the signals and think someone is making a pass at you. It could prove to be embarrassing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Even if you don’t have any current plans to use them, your pragmatic skills will be more pronounced than your artistic ones. Put them to work for you if you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It’s important to follow through on any promises you made to another, even if it now causes you a bit of inconvenience. Doing so will greatly enhance your reputation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you are penny-wise and pound foolish, don’t be surprised if you discover a lot of holes in your books when it comes time to take stock. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Unless you are materially motivated, it isn’t likely that you’ll use the full force of your talents. However, you’ll shift into full gear when there is something in it for you. COPYRIGHT 2012 United Feature Syndicate, Inc.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Monday, April 16, the 107th day of 2012. There are 259 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 16, 1912, American aviator Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel, traveling from Dover, England, to France in 59 minutes, an accomplishment that was overshadowed by the Titanic disaster the day before. On this date: • In 1789, President-elect George Washington left Mount Vernon, Va., for his inauguration in
New York. • In 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill ending slavery in the District of Columbia. The Confederacy conscripted all white men between the ages of 18 to 35. • In 1917, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin returned to Russia after years of exile. • In 1945, U.S. troops reached Nuremberg, Germany, during the Second World War. • In 1962, Bob Dylan debuted his song “Blowin’ in the Wind” at Gerde’s Folk City in New York; New
Orleans Archbishop Joseph Rummel excommunicated three local Roman Catholics for fighting racial integration of parochial schools. • In 1972, Apollo 16 blasted off on a voyage to the moon with astronauts John W.Young, Charles M. Duke Jr. and Ken Mattingly on board. • Today’s Birthdays: Pope Benedict XVI is 85. Basketball Hall-of-Famer Kareem AbdulJabbar is 65. NFL coach Bill Belichick is 60. Actor Jon Cryer is 47. Actor Lukas Haas is 36.
Midwest towns say early storm warnings saved lives WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) — The television was tuned to forecasters’ dire warnings of an impending storm when Greg Tomlyanobich heard a short burst from a tornado siren blare after midnight Sunday. Then silence. Then rumbling. The 52-year-old quickly grabbed his wife and grandson, hurrying them into the
emergency cellar as debris whirled around their heads at their mobile home park in northwest Oklahoma. They huddled inside with about 20 other people before the tornado among dozens that swept across the nation’s midsection during the weekend roared across the ground above, ripping homes from their foundations.
“It scared the hell out of me,” Tomlyanobich said. The storm killed five people, including three children, and injured more than two dozen in Woodward, a town about 140 miles northwest of Oklahoma City. But it was the only tornado that caused fatalities. Many of the touchdowns raked harmlessly across isolated stretches of

rural Kansas, and though communities there and in Iowa were hit, residents and officials credited days of urgent warnings from forecasters for saving lives. When Tomlyanobich emerged from the underground shelter after the storm subsided, he saw a scattered trail of destruction: home insulation, siding and splintered wood where homes once stood; trees stripped of leaves, clothing and metal precariously hanging from limbs. “It just makes you sick to your stomach. Just look at that mangled steel,” he said Sunday, pointing to what appeared to be a giant twisted steel frame that had landed in the middle of the mobile home park, which is surrounded by rural land dotted with oil field equipment. The storms were part of an exceptionally strong system tracked by the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in
Norman, Okla., which specializes in tornado forecasting. The center took the unusual step of warning people more than 24 hours in advance of a possible “highend, life-threatening event.” Center spokesman Chris Vaccaro said the weather service received at least 120 reports of tornadoes by dawn Sunday and was working to confirm how many actually touched down. The storm system was weakening as it crawled east and additional tornadoes were unlikely, though forecasters warned that strong thunderstorms could be expected as far east as Michigan. Woodward suffered the worst of the destruction from the storms, which also struck in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska. Woodward City Manager Alan Riffel said 89 homes and 13 businesses were destroyed, and bloodied survivors in the 12,000-resident town emerged to find flipped cars and smashed
trailers. Retired firefighter Marty Logan said he spotted the tornado when it knocked down power lines, causing flashes of light, and saw a radio tower’s blinking lights go black. He later saw a man emerge from a twisted, wrecked sport utility vehicle that had been tossed along the side of the road. “The guy had blood coming down his face,” Logan said. “It was scary, because I knew it was after midnight and a lot of people were in bed.” The state medical examiner’s office identified the victims as Frank Hobbie and his 5-year-old and 7-year-old daughters, who died when the tornado hit the mobile home park, and Darren Juul and a 10-year-old girl who died when the home they were in a few miles away was hit. Office spokeswoman Amy Elliot said no other details were available, but she said a critically hurt child was air lifted to a Texas hospital.

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

Cincinnati Reds’ Ryan Ludwick, right, rounds the bases after hitting a grand slam during the first inning of a baseball game against the Washington Nationals on Sunday in Washington.
Reds top Nats Votto’s two-run double in 11th secures victory WASHINGTON (AP) — Joey Votto ensured the weekend in Washington wasn’t a total loss for the Reds. Votto hit a two-run double in the 11th inning Sunday and the Reds avoided a four-game sweep with an 8-5 victory over the Nationals on Sunday. The Reds, who had scored just 10 runs in losing five of six, scored their most runs in a game this season. Ryan Ludwick hit a grand slam in the first and Cincinnati led 5-0 in the fourth. But Washington scored three in the bottom of the fourth and another run in the fifth before tying it on Ian Desmond’s RBI single in
the seventh. “You hate a sweep, especially a four-game sweep, and they were threatening to knock on the door,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “We got out of here with one.” In the 11th, Drew Stubbs, who had been 1 for 15 in the series, singled off Tyler Clippard (1-1) to open the inning. After Wilson Valdez tried unsuccessfully to bunt, Zack Cozart singled his third of the game and Votto, who was walked intentionally his previous two atbats, doubled to left on a 2-0 count. Scott Rolen followed with an RBI single. “Finally, they couldn’t walk
Joey. We had some runners on base. That was big,” Baker said. Votto was 1 for 4 in his previous appearances against Clippard. “Tyler’s a really difficult guy to face. I don’t think I’ve had a very good track record against him and I don’t particularly like facing him,” Votto said. Jose Arrendondo (1-0), the fourth Cincinnati pitcher, threw a scoreless 10th. Sean Marshall worked the 11th for his first save of the season. “Ludwick’s first home run as a Red, Marshall’s first save as a Red, and a lot of firsts today.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Carl Pettersson had another fast start and finished with a 2-under 69 for a five-shot victory over Zach Johnson on Sunday in the RBC Heritage. Pettersson had a run of five straight birdies on the front nine during the third round Saturday to move in front. This time, Pettersson birdied three of the first five holes and built a fiveshot lead by the turn that he never relinquished. He finished at 14 under. It was Pettersson’s fifth career PGA Tour title and first since the 2010 Canadian Open. He tied countryman Jesper Parnevik for most wins on tour by a Swedish player. “It was great,” Pettersson said. “I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself, so I kind of downplayed the whole thing. But getting off to a birdie on one was great.” Pettersson, second in thel Houston Open two weeks ago, earned $1,026,000. Top-ranked Luke Donald needed to finish eighth or better to retain his ranking, but tied for 37th and will fall behind Rory McIlroy. Johnson shot a 70 to finish second at 9 under, while Colt Knost’s chances for his first PGA Tour title fell apart with a 74. He was third, another shot further back. Kevin Stadler (68) and Billy Mayfair (69) tied for fourth at 6 under. Two-time Heritage winner Boo Weekley had his worst round of the week, 73, to tie for sixth with Matt Bettencourt (69). Masters winner Bubba Watson and most of the world’s best took the week off to recover from the year’s first major. Pettersson rolled in a 24-footer on No. 1 to get things started with a birdie. He added another birdie, from 16 feet on the par-3 fourth hole, then two-putted from 40 feet on the par-5 fifth to go up by four shots. When Johnson took bogey at No. 10, Pettersson was five strokes in front and cruising.

Get out the broom Indians complete sweep of Royals KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Travis Hafner gave a powerful reminder of what he’s meant to the Cleveland Indians. Hafner hit one of the longest home runs in Kauffman Stadium history, Shelly Duncan homered and drove in three runs and the Indians romped past the Kansas City Royals 13-7 Sunday for a AP PHOTO three-game sweep. Cleveland Indians’ Shin-Soo Choo watches his two-run double Casey Kotchman and Jason against the Kansas City Royals Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Kipnis homered on consecutive
pitches for Cleveland in the eighth inning. For the first time in the Indians’ 111-year history, they scored at least eight runs in their first three road games of a season. Hafner’s home run in the fifth inning off Luis Mendoza went an estimated 456 feet and was the first to land in a sports bar

Reds ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 Hopefully we can have some seconds, thirds, fifteens, twenties and on down the line,” Baker said. Washington, which had won five straight, is 7-3. “We’ve won every series. I think that’s our main goal especially at home,” Clippard said. Manager Davey Johnson revealed that Clippard has had shoulder discomfort, but said he was fine to pitch on Sunday. Clippard said there was nothing wrong with him. The Reds took a 4-0 lead in the first. Cozart singled with one out, and after Votto was called out on strikes, Rolen bounced a ball to shortstop. Desmond’s throw to first pulled Adam LaRoche off the bag, and Desmond was charged with an error, though television replays appeared to show Rolen was out. Jay Bruce walked and, on a 2-2 pitch, Ludwick launched a grand slam to left-center off Ross Detwiler. Detwiler threw 38 pitches in the first. In the Reds’ first nine games, they were batting just .191, and hadn’t scored more than two runs in an inning. Cincinnati scored its fifth run in the fourth on Ryan Hanigan’s RBI single. Washington got its first hits off Reds starter Mike Leake in the fourth. Desmond and Danny Espinosa began the inning with singles. Ryan Zimmerman walked to load the bases, and LaRoche hit a two-run single. Bruce, in right field, bobbled the ball, and the runners moved up. Zimmerman scored on Mark DeRosa’s infield out to make it 5-3. With one out in the fifth, pinch-hitter Roger Bernadina walked and scored on Desmond’s double and Cincinnati led 5-4.
■ MLB
Indians ■ CONTINUED FROM 14 behind the right-field bleachers. It was the longest home run at Kauffman Stadium since David Ortiz, then with Minnesota, hit one 458 feet on April 8, 2001. “I’ve seen a lot of games here and I haven’t seen a ball hit that far,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “That was pretty impressive. He’s hit two balls already that the people in Cleveland were used to seeing before he hurt his shoulder.” Hafner hit 42 home runs in 2006, then had shoulder surgery in 2008. In the next three seasons while recovering, he hit a total of 42 homers. “I feel great and really have a good approach at the plate and the swing feels good. I’m in a good spot,” Hafner said. It was not the longest home run of Hafner’s career, but close. “I think there have been some measured like in the 470s, but that’s about as good as I can hit them,” he said. “I followed it. I didn’t see it at the very end. I thought it made it over the seats. I was just able to stay back on an off-speed pitch and put a good swing on it and backspin it. It’s fun to hit them that good.” It was not fun for the Kansas City pitchers, who gave up seven home runs, 17 extra-base hits and 32 runs in the three games. Things got so bad for the Royals that manager Ned Yost put outfielder Mitch Maier on the mound in the ninth. Maier was the only Kansas City pitcher to not give up a run, getting Asdrubal Cabrera to ground into a double play after giving up a single. “Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again,” Maier said. “I don’t like to be put in that situation, but we needed an inning.” Hafner went 3 for 4 and drew an intentional walk. Duncan hit a three-run homer in the Indians’ six-run third inning and walked in his next three plate-appearances.

Howard-less Magic handle Cavs CLEVELAND (AP) — Jameer Nelson scored 21 points and the Orlando Magic clinched a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference with a 100-84 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Orlando led from wireto-wire despite playing without star center Dwight Howard, who has missed the last four games with a herniated disk in his back. The news the Magic made the postseason took a back seat to the team’s injury list, which seems to grow by the day. Howard and forward Hedo AP PHOTO Turkoglu (facial fracture) Cleveland Cavaliers’ Manny Harris (6) runs into are sidelined indefinitely. Orlando Magic’s Jameer Nelson (14) for a charging Coach Stan Van Gundy foul in the second quarter Sunday in Cleveland. said before the game he’s
preparing to play the rest of the regular season and the playoffs without the two players. Orlando took another injury hit in the first quarter when Glen Davis, who had played well at center with Howard sidelined, sustained a sprained right knee and didn’t return. He will undergo a further examination Monday. Jason Richardson added 16 points for Orlando, which had five players in double figures. J.J. Redick scored 13. Antawn Jamison led the Cavaliers with 21 points. Donald Sloan scored a career-high 15. Cleveland completed its only set of back-to-back-toback games this season.

The Cavaliers lost in Indiana on Friday and picked up a road win in Washington on Saturday. The Cavaliers again played without rookie point guard Kyrie Irving, who missed his 10th straight game with a sprained right shoulder. Coach Byron Scott ruled Irving out for Tuesday’s game in Detroit, but said it’s possible he’ll return Wednesday night when Cleveland hosts Philadelphia. It’s uncertain if center Anderson Varejao will return this season. Varejao hasn’t played since sustaining a fractured right wrist on Feb. 10. Orlando was in control throughout in the battle of
short-handed teams in extending its winning streak over Cleveland to nine games. The Cavaliers scored 15 points in each of the first two quarters and shot 28.9 percent in the first half. Howard missed his fourth straight game. The Magic originally said he had back spasms, but an examination in Los Angeles revealed the disk injury. Howard will rest the injury for 10 days and will then be re-evaluated. Howard joined his teammates in Cleveland, but remained at the Magic’s hotel during the game. He accompanied the team back to Orlando, where the Magic host Philadelphia today.

Flyers crush Penguins, 8-4 Lehman wins Schroeder
Take a 3-0 series lead PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fists were flying faster than shots on goal. Sidney Crosby and Claude Giroux even became knotted in the pushing, pulling and shoving, a pair of superstars willing to mix it up to prove which team was the baddest on the ice and the scoreboard. The Penguins and Flyers talked trash, laid the smack down, and played one wildly entertaining game. The result was still the same. The Flyers rallied from another early deficit for a decisive Game 3 victory that placed them on the brink of an improbable sweep. Danny Briere, Matt Read and Max Talbot each scored two goals to lead Philadelphia to an 8-4 victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday in a fight-filled game in the Eastern Conference quarterfinal. Giroux and Wayne Simmonds also scored to help the Flyers take a 3-0 lead in the combustible best-of-seven series. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Philadelphia. The Flyers scored 30 goals in the first three games. “Our goal is to finish it right away,” Briere said. The goals might be hard to find on a highlight reel. This one was all about the brawls more suitable for a UFC card. Three players were tossed in the first period. There was a rare fight between superstars when Crosby squared off against Giroux. No one got the better end of that scrap. But by the end, Flyers fans serenaded the Penguins with booming chants of “You can’t beat us!” “All three games were kind of weird games,” Giroux said. “I guess I like weird games because we always finish by winning.” Jordan Staal and James Neal scored twice for a Penguins team pushed to the limit by its hated, intrastate rival. MarcAndre Fleury was benched after allowing six goals in two periods. He has allowed a whopping 17 goals in the first three games. Coach Dan Bylsma said Fleury would start, “the next four games.”

The Lehman tennis team took home the first place trophy on Saturday at the Schroeder Invitational. Lehman’s final team score was 32, while MiltonUnion and Kenton Ridge tied for second with 29 points. In the first singles bracket, Pierce Bennett was defeated by Milton-Union’s Matt Brumbaugh in the finals. Lehman’s Dan Sehlhorst — who remains undefeated on the season — finished first at second singles. He defeated MiltonUnion’s Marshall Winterbotham in the championship. At third singles, Lehman’s Mitchell Shroyer finished second, losing to Celina’s Jeremy Wall in the finals. Lehman’s Matt Ulrich
and David Freytag had a tough first round draw against Milton-Union’s Kenton Dickison and Jack Blevins, who ended up taking home the first place trophy. Ulrich and Freytag finished fifth overall. Lehman’s second doubles team of Michael Comer and Riley Pickrel finished third, defeating the Celina team in their final. “I am very proud of the boys,” Lehman coach Kristy Sherman said. “All of their hard work is starting to show on the court. We have another busy week of tennis. Starting with our first state team tournament match (today) against Miami Valley School.” That match will be played at Miami Valley.

Clemens returns for perjury retrial AP PHOTO
Philadelphia Flyers Jaromir Jagr, left, and Scott Hartnell circle behind the goal arms raised as they celebrate Claude Giroux’s goal in the opening minute of the third period of Game 3 in a first-round NHL Stanley Cup playoffs hockey series with the Pittsburgh Penguins Sunday in Philadelphia. Hard to imagine at this rate, especially with NHL scoring leader Evgeni Malkin (109 points) yet to score a goal for the Penguins. The Flyers played a postseason video that billed their run as the “Fight to the Cup.” They never expected a first period that would have left those old Broad Street Bullies smiling. Each team had their top defenseman — Pittsburgh’s Kris Letang and Philadelphia’s Kimmo Timonen — tossed. So was Penguins forward Aaron Asham. But the scene ripped straight out of the pages of Ripley’s came when Giroux and Crosby went at it against the backboard. “In the end, that’s really playoff hockey,” Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said.
“A couple of the best players in the world dropping the gloves going at it. Would I rather have G keep his gloves on? Sure. But when he’s fighting Sidney Crosby, that’s playoff hockey. That’s this series.” Predators 3, Red Wings 2 DETROIT — Shea Weber turned boos into silence with a goal early in the first period and Nashville held on to beat Detroit to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference series. Henrik Zetterberg scored with just under a minute left to pull the Red Wings within one, but they couldn’t tie the game to force overtime. Weber, jeered for smashing Zetterberg’s face into glass at the end of Game 1, snapped Nashville’s 0-for12 streak on the power
play against the Red Wings. Kevin Klein and Sergei Kostitsyn also scored for Nashville, and Pekka Rinne made 41 saves. Pavel Datsyuk added a goal for Detroit. Game 4 is Tuesday night in Detroit. Panthers 4, Devils 2 SUNRISE, Fla. — Stephen Weiss scored the first two playoff goals of his 10-year NHL career, Jose Theodore stopped 23 shots and the Florida Panthers got their first playoff victory in nearly 15 years, beating the New Jersey Devils 4-2 on Sunday night to even the first-round series at a game apiece. Marcel Goc had a goal and an assist for the Panthers, who survived a frantic Devils rally in the third.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In baseball terms, the first Roger Clemens trial was a rainout in the top of the first inning. Not because it actually rained, but because one of the teams turned on the sprinkler and left it running. Only two witnesses had been called last July when U.S. Judge Reggie Walton declared a mistrial, famously declaring that prosecutors had made a gaffe that even a “firstyear law student” wouldn’t make. It was a courtroom humiliation even a baseball fan would understand. It’s been a nine-month wait for the makeup date. The case of United States vs. William R. Clemens was set to return to court Monday with the start of jury selection in the second attempt by the government to prove that the seven-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher lied when he denied, in an appearance before Congress in 2008, using steroids and human growth hormone. To help make sure there’s not another misstep, the Justice
Department now has five lawyers on the prosecution team, up from two at the first trial. “They bulked up their team,” said Washington lawyer Stan Brand, who represented Major League Baseball in connection with a 2005 congressional investigation into the sport’s steroids policies. “They’re going belt-tosuspenders so they don’t make any mistakes.” The trial is expected to last four weeks to six weeks, and the basics remain the same. The government’s key witness is Clemens’ former strength trainer, Brian McNamee, who says he injected the pitcher with performance-enhancing substances and held on some used needles that will be entered as scientific evidence. Clemens will be doing what he can to clear his name from allegations that the backside of his remarkable 24-year, 354-win career was the product of something more than an intense fitness regimen. The wait for the retrial has renewed debate over whether it should be taking place at all.
