OSP reminds drivers of need for caution BY MELANIE YINGST Staff Writer myingst@tdnpublishing.com Growing up riding dirt bikes, Casstown resident Neal Norman eventually traded his carefree days on dirt paths to navigating the winding country roads on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle — with a helmet, of course.

A berry early crop Strawberries ready for picking at Fulton Farms BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com Fulton Farms strawberry fields opened to “u-pickers” Thursday — about three weeks earlier than most years, due to an unusually warm March. “People have come up to get one or two containers, but left with eight or nine,” said Joyce Fulton, who owns the farm with her husband, Bill. “I wonder if they enjoy the picking, but then once they have to go home and clean them…” she trailed off with a laugh.

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith has shaped his life, but he barely mentioned it as he spoke to graduates at an evangelical university Saturday. And he hardly touched on hot-button social issues like abortion and gay marriage, instead offering a broadbased defense of values like 1 family and hard work.

The crop is likely the earliest since 1963, Fulton said, with the fields typically opening to the public the Monday or Tuesday following the Strawberry Festival, which is held the first weekend in June each year. About 7,000 to 9,000 quarts of the farm’s strawberries are used for the annual event. Fulton is hoping to still have strawberries around for the festival, which is feasible if temperatures do not increase too much. “If the weather stays this comfort-
able, then yes. If it gets hot, they will go rapidly,” Fulton said. A typical strawberry season is three to three and half weeks. Fulton Farms has about 25-30 acres of strawberries, she estimated. On the first day the fields opened, Fulton’s granddaughter, Hannah Karnehm, said business was going well. “Quite a few families have come out to pick out their own.

NEW YORK (AP) — The city’s spring art auction season was red hot. The frenzy began with Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” on May 2, when a phone bidder at Sotheby’s plunked down nearly $120 million for the iconic image, earning it the title of most expensive artwork ever sold at auction. Then, Mark Rothko’s “Orange, Red, Yellow” stole the record for any contemporary artwork at auction when it sold for nearly $87 million at Christie’s on Tuesday. But it didn’t stop there. Artist records also were shattered at the two auction houses for works by Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Alexander Calder, Roy Lichtenstein, Cy Twombly, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei and others. The art market remains one of the few flourishing during a difficult economic period. Among the reasons: an expanding global market that includes buyers from Asia, the Middle East and South America, a strong desire by the most knowledgeable collectors to own a top piece by the most recognized artists in the world and the view that art is a sound investment.

Portland politics as quirky as city itself PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Portland is famously weird and fiercely proud of it, so things can get a little bizarre when it comes time to pick a mayor. In one local tradition, candidates try to outdo each other in an eating contest at a doughnut shop known nationally for oddities such as oversized, maple-frosted doughnuts topped with strips of crispy bacon. That’s politics in a city where the main attraction is culture as opposed to commerce or landmarks. Food carts, fixed-gear bicycles, pot shops and craft beer make Portland a magnet for the young, hip and liberal. But it’s still a major city with all the attendant dilemmas. Leaders have to contend with tight budgets, high unemployment and crumbling roads. Minorities face economic and social disenfranchisement and are being pushed to the outskirts of town. Voters will weigh in Tuesday on which brand of liberal is best equipped to run the city while obeying the command posted in bright yellow letters on brick walls, car bumpers, Tshirts and concert fliers, “Keep Portland weird!” One contender, state

Portland mayoral candidate Charlie Hales poses for a photo in front of his election headquarters in Portland, Ore., May 3. Hales is locked in a three-way race for Portland’s top job with the election looming Tuesday. Rep. Jefferson Smith, says he finished off three creamfilled treats at Voodoo Doughnut, which has gained national fame on food-themed cable TV shows such as Travel Channel’s “No Reservations” and “Man v. Food.” Another front-runner, Eileen Brady, the glutenaverse co-founder of a popular organic grocery chain, used a surrogate eater to avoid the deep-fried flour. She apparently preferred the stand-in over bringing

Cara Heslin, 31, of Huber Heights ate some sweets in the market with her daughter, husband and brother Thursday before going out to pick strawberries in the field. While it marked her daughter’s first time participating, Cara has been picking strawberries since she was a young child. “Our parents brought us here. We also came for daycare, field trips and family functions,” Heslin said, adding that she’s taken her daughter to the farm
“People feel very safe about buying art,” said Nicolai Frahm, a partner with the London-based Frahm Ltd. “You have a huge amount of new buyers coming to the market. If you have money, you want to be a part of buying art. People almost are considered imbeciles if they have money and they’re not buying.” Christie’s took in a record $616 million during the two-week-long auctions of impressionist, modern and contemporary art. Its evening contemporary art sale alone totaled $388.5 million, a record for any auction in that category.
time to elect an openly gay mayor. Recent polling shows the race is close, and many voters are still making up their minds. Smith, Brady and Hales, the candidates with the most organized and wellfunded campaigns, are all Democrats. The primary race is expected to whittle the field down to two candidates who will then face off in November. Each represents the quirks of Portland in their

around Halloween for pumpkins. She planned to pick a gallon’s worth of strawberries. “We’re going to make pie, and we bought strawberry dip, too,” she said. Berries are priced at $8 for a gallon u-pick container and $3.75 per quart in the market.

steamed kale to the doughnut shop, an option she’d considered. The other high-profile candidate, Charlie Hales, skipped the tradition. All told, there are nearly two-dozen contenders pursuing the city’s top job, a field that includes an Occupy Portland leader and a reformed radical environmentalist. The winner will replace Sam Adams, whose election in 2008 made Portland the largest American city at the

Both auction houses offered works from famous collections — Philadelphia philanthropist and art patron David Pincus at Christie’s and New York financier Theodore Forstmann at Sotheby’s — and pieces that had been absent from the marketplace for decades.

• Continued from A1 bike, he said it feels awkward not wearing the protective gear, especially having hit trees, branches and even large bugs in the open air during his years as a dirt bike enthusiast. In Ohio alone, from 2009 to 2011, motorcyclerelated crashes resulted in a total of 503 fatalities and more than 11,400 injuries, according to an Ohio State Highway Patrol media release. Those types of facts still don’t discourage Harley lovers like Norman from hitting the road. “You have to be aware of what is going around you at all times,” Norman said. “I’ve got three kids at home and I know motorcycles are dangerous, but at the same time, I enjoy it, so that’s why I wear a helmet.” The OSP also encourages cyclists, as well as all drivers, to remain sober. According to the OSP, 49 percent of the fatal motorcycle crashes involved an impaired motorcyclist — a 10 percent jump from 2010. The OSP reminds drivers that motorcyclists have the same privileges as other drivers; look for motorcyclists on the highway, intersections and any time you are changing lanes; give motorcyclists a full lane of travel; allow plenty of space in front of the vehicle you are driving; and do not follow a motorcycle too closely. As a cyclist, Norman admits he gets frustrated that other motorists often
don’t see him, despite all the safety precautions he takes. “They don’t see you on a motorcycle — we don’t have the width or the size of a vehicle, and if something happens — we lose,” Norman said. “It can get hairy sometimes.” Norman admits he has had a few close calls, including a recent citation for assured clear distance after a car in Troy cut him off and then slammed on its brakes, causing Norman to hit a taillight with his Harley’s handlebar. Although Norman is a seasoned rider, he opted to take the motorcycle safety course from Honda two years ago to receive the endorsement to obtain his motorcycle license. “I really enjoyed it (the class),” Norman said. The OSP encourages riders to take a training class and ride with proper endorsements to help protect riders and others from injury. More than 7,920 citations were handed out between 2009-2011 for operating a motorcycle without a proper license or endorsement. Norman said he enjoys riding motorcycles, running errands while using less gas to save money, as well as the reason all riders on two wheels enjoy their bike time. “It’s just fun to get out on a nice day and just roll,” Norman said.

own way. Smith, 38, became something of a rock star among liberal political activists when he co-founded The Bus Project, a nonprofit that tries to take the stuffiness out of politics and make activism fun for young people. He started the organization in 2001 after a walking away from a brief legal career that included working at top firms in New York City and Portland. Brady, 50, more than her two main rivals, embodies the version of the city so often depicted in popular culture, such as on the cable TV comedy skits of IFC network’s “Portlandia,” which pokes fun at Portland’s many eccentricities and has no shortage of material. Brady’s family helped launch New Seasons Market, a Portland-area grocery-store chain that features organic and locally grown food, and she has made her business experience a key component of her campaign. Hales, 56, the only candidate with experience in city government, is positioned as a policy expert, whose work includes bringing electric streetcars to the city.

• Continued from A1 Internet address, the president didn’t mention his history-making endorsement. Instead, he repeated his call for congressional lawmakers to take up a “to-do list” of tax breaks, mortgage relief and other initiatives that he insists will create jobs and help middle-class families struggling in the sluggish economy. Having spent part of the week on the West Coast raising money for his reelection effort, Obama appeared in the Rose Garden of the White House to honor award-winning law enforcement officers. It was Obama’s first joint appearance with Vice President Joe Biden after Biden, according to aides, apologized to the president for pushing gay marriage to the forefront of the presidential campaign and inadvertently pressuring Obama to declare his support for same-sex unions. Obama and Biden were all smiles as they walked to the sun-splashed ceremony together. Introducing Obama, Biden credited the president’s commitment to law enforcement and the two quickly embraced before Obama spoke. The late Rev. Jerry Falwell founded Liberty University in 1971 to be for evangelical Christians “what Notre Dame is to young Catholics and Brigham Young is to young Mormons,” as his son, University Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr., said on commencement day. It’s become a destination for Republican politicians looking to speak to the religious right, and Romney’s campaign team viewed it as an opportunity to address the kind of socially conservative audience that had been wary of him during the prolonged GOP primary fight.

Edison Community College welcomes new graduates For the Miami Valley Sunday News
PIQUA
Edison Community College honored nearly 450 students at the 37th commencement ceremony Friday night before a packed house of family, friends, faculty and staff in the Edison gymnasium in Piqua. “The road to commencement for many of our graduates is not always a straightforward one. Each and every graduate has faced challenges, great and small, to be here today,” said Teresa Roth, director of admissions for Edison. “We commend them for their persistence and for their willingness to believe in themselves. Their uncertainty has given way to a new confidence in their ability to meet the future. The faculty and staff at Edison are grateful for the privilege of having been a part of their lives for a little while, and we wish them all the best.” The evening’s events started off with a presentation of a plaque to former president Dr. Kenneth Yowell by Judith Hartman, chairman of the board of trustees, honoring Yowell’s years of service to the college. Yowell retired as the third president of Edison in 2011. The evening’s keynote speaker was Dr. Christopher Grove, gener-
al surgeon at Upper Valley Medical Center. Grove, who attended George C. Wallace Community College in Alabama, is also the current medical director for Miami County Surgeons. Throughout his address, Grove, a Piqua native, drew upon his experiences of attending George C. Wallace Community College in Alabama. Grove shared with the gathered students and their families the important role that attending community college played in his education, and how it shaped his future endeavors. “Because I was at a community college, I was able to go to college full time and work full time,” Grove said. “I quickly got to know my professors quite well. I was being taught by PhD’s instead of grad students. My chemistry classes had 25 students instead of 500 and the professor taught her own labs.” Preceding the conferring of degrees, Edison President Dr. Cris Valdez addressed those gathered, echoing Dr. Grove’s message that community colleges are a place where students can dream, and come to realize those

Cemetery walk set in Tipp TIPP CITY — An “If Tombstones Could Talk” event, sponsored by the Tippecanoe Historical Society will be offered from 4-6 p.m. June 10 at Maple Hill Cemetery on South Hyatt Street. People tend to think of cemeteries as sad places, but really they are places of family/community history and memories. Join society members to listen to Mary Butler (Sandra Spangler) tell of her many years as a Tipp City school teacher; Otto and Isabel Frings, (Dave and Pat Rousculp) funeral home and furniture store owners; Capt. Rouzer (Dave Cook) and his horse; James Scheip (Neal and Katie Sonnanstine) of the Tipp Novelty; and Wilhelmina Timmer (Marilee Lake) connected to the canning factory and many other interests. Each of these people will be portrayed at the site of their graves. Society members would like to know what you find as far as unusual sayings, the tallest stone, the most unusual, etc., so bring paper and pencil and even a camera. The rain date is June 24. For more information, call Susie at 698-6798 or Peg at 667-3977.
dreams. Notable among the evening’s graduates, were 20 high school seniors from throughout the region, who were receiving two-year degrees before their high school diplomas through the PostSecondary Enrollment Option Program (PSEOP). “We’re thrilled to have so many of our PSEOP students achieving at this level today,” said Stacey Bean, admissions coordinator. “These students have definitely set a course for success very early in their academic careers and we look forward to seeing where their achievements take them.” As the evening’s events drew to a close and the last degrees and certificates were awarded, Valdez took a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by the families and friends of those who were being honored, and to point out that an overwhelming majority of the students receiving degrees from Edison this year are first-generation college students. Filing out of the gymnasium and into the courtyard for a college-hosted reception, many of the new graduates met with family, friends and faculty to reflect on their accomplishments and celebrate the completion of their degrees.

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP London Evening Standard on News Corporation’ Rupert Murdoch: The markets have had their say on Rupert Murdoch — and it’s a thumbs-up. The same day six members of the Commons culture, media and sport committee declared that he was not “a fit person” to run a big international business, shares in News Corporation rose. Moreover, results from BSkyB showed an underlying profit of >908 million in nine months, up a quarter over the same period a year before. This is not in itself proof that BSkyB is a “fit and proper” holder of a broadcasting licence — but it is a reminder of Murdoch’s achievement in making the most of the company’s potential. There are still serious questions about Murdoch’s conduct in respect of phone hacking by the News of the World, and the disgraceful culture that his senior executives at least tolerated. Specifically, we still need to know whether he was culpably ignorant of those activities — and of associated misconduct in the title’s relationship with the police. But the Commons committee’s Labour and Liberal Democrat members went beyond the issue in suggesting that he was unfit to be proprietor of an international media company. The upshot was that the committee was split on the final report, with members divided on party lines. As a result, the report has looked partisan and its broader conclusions have been lost. Had MPs opposed to Murdoch, such as Labour’s Tom Watson, a victim of phone hacking, been prepared to couch their judgments more carefully, their report might have had greater effect. As it is, even vigorous opponents of News Corp’s bid to increase its holding in BSkyB — now dropped — have been obliged to defend Murdoch. The appearance of the Murdochs before the Commons committee generated enormous public interest and was a useful means of demonstrating that even the biggest media proprietors can be held to account for the activities of their companies. It is just a shame that the much-anticipated parliamentary report has failed to do justice to an issue which is of real public importance for public trust in the media. The Globe and Mail, Toronto, on journalistic security in Mexico: Freedom of expression is fundamental to a successful democracy. Writers and journalists who expose corruption and wrongdoing must know that they will not be killed for their efforts. Mexico’s democracy is under assault because of the authorities’ apparent inability to protect the bloggers, writers and broadcasters who cover the drug trade. Eighty journalists have been killed in the last 12 years. The latest victim to be silenced by the drug cartels is Regina Martinez, a writer for Proceso magazine. She was found strangled in her bathroom in Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz state, on April 28. Her recent reports told of the arrests of nine municipal police officers suspected of ties to drug traffickers, and the arrest of a woman suspected of commanding hit men. For those stories of narco-corruption, she gave her life. Mexico must do more to end this culture of impunity. The Senate’s recent approval of a constitutional amendment to transfer responsibility for prosecuting attacks on the press to federal authorities is an important step forward. Currently, state and municipal authorities are in charge, and they are considered more corrupt. Mexico’s special prosecutor for crimes against freedom of expression has not been able to bring even one case to justice. Mexico is in the throes of a presidential election campaign, and front runner Enrique Pena Nieto, the candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, has said his party will urge state legislatures to support the amendment. To become law, half the state legislatures must sign on. Mexico has made impressive electoral, political and economic reforms in the past decade. But to safeguard its democracy, the country must now turn its attention to judicial and police reforms and show its citizens that those who murder writers will be brought to justice. The country’s progress — and reputation — depend on it.

Sendak’s work opened up world of possibilities Let the wild rumpus begin. In the next world. Maurice Sendak, arguably the most influential and important children’s book artist of our lifetime, died at the age of 83 earlier this week, succumbing to complications caused by a recent stroke. He leaves behind not only an impressive library of stellar work, but also millions of people who were deeply affected by his books — people who were introduced to Sendak’s creations as children and then passed them down to their own children. And I was one of those children. Sendak’s signature book “Where the Wild Things Are” was more than just the first book I ever read. Before we even were officially taught to read in school, I taught myself to read — with the help of my parents, of course — and “Where the Wild Things Are” was the motivation. Sure, I had access to my grandparents’ collection of Dr. Seuss books, but the artwork in “Where the Wild Things Are” spoke to me more than any oddly-colored eggs ever could. The monsters that inhabited young Max’s fantasy island were part horrifying and menacing, yet there was an inviting and childish quality to them, too. I simply had to know what they were, how Max found them and how he
power of my imagination and how to use it. More importantly, though, Max’s tale taught me, no matter how enticing escaping to a fantasy world to avoid my problems could be, the importance of returning to the real world and facing up to reality. And if that’s not an important lesson for every child to learn, I don’t know what is. Josh Brown Throughout the years, many critSunday Columnist ics have complained about Sendak’s work, including “Where the Wild escaped from them. Things Are.” They claim that he It wouldn’t be until years later, delves too far into the dark parts of when I was old enough to get it, the human mind for children, and that I truly understood just how that his work might be too frightendeeply Sendak’s simplistic tale of a ing for them. misbehaving child affected me. PUH-lease. Max gets in trouble — something Modern kids’ entertainment — I could easily relate to — and is the recent “Muppets” movie not sent to bed without dinner by his included — is horrible. It’s all the mother. Instead of staying in his same unimaginative, cookie-cutter room, though, Max gets in a boat characters, artwork and storylines. and sails for a year across the sea Nothing to challenge kids, only before arriving at an island inhabit- “safe” time-wasters meant to hold ed by monsters.

But eventually, much to the and, my personal favorite, The Dark chagrin of his new friends, Max Crystal — movies that, while in leaves the island and goes back ways were scary and adult in home — only to be welcomed by a nature, helped us grow up dreaming warm meal waiting for him. of the endless possibilities the world I was already an imaginative kid, had to offer, possibilities that were but Sendak showed me the true only limited by our imaginations.
Boy, were we ever fooled. Maybe today’s kids are better off with whatever new generic 3D moneygrabber is out in theaters for them now. No way. There’s already far too little imagination in the world. I recently bought my wife Mandie a copy of “Where the Wild Things Are,” as she never read the book — but did see the recent movie adaption. It had such a profound effect on her that she refuses to watch it ever again because a second viewing would “spoil the impact it had on her.” One day, I hope to convince her to watch it with me. As for the book, though, when we have kids we will pass it down to them — and hopefully open their eyes to a bigger, better world. It is with the heaviest of hearts that I, and millions of others, say goodbye to Maurice Sendak. But the wild things cried, “Oh please don’t go — we’ll eat you up — we love you so!” And Maurice said, “No!” The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws … … But Maurice stepped into his private boat and waved goodbye.

OBITUARIES
MARJORY D. DAVIDSON TIPP CITY — Marjory D. Davidson, 85, of Tipp City, Ohio, died Thursday, May 10, in Tipp City. She was born Oct. 13, 1926, in Sullivan, Ind., to William and Cora Smith Brown. A former resident of Sullivan County, Indiana, she moved to Tipp City in 1966 and resided there until her death. She was a member of the United Methodist Church. Marjory worked at Johnson’s Grain & Elevator as a bookkeeper. After coming to Ohio, she worked for 15 years as a bookkeeper and receptionist for the Tipp Eye Center. Marjory was active in many bridge clubs and enjoyed traveling with her friends and family. Survivors include two sons, Andrew (Connie) Davidson, Tipp City, and Jon Davidson, Los Angeles; three grandchilAP PHOTO/AMY SANCETTA dren, Mike (Jeannie) Moore of Vandalia, In this May 9 photo, Scott Overbaugh works at one of the blackjack tables inside the Cora Davidson of Greenwood, Ind., and new Horseshoe Cleveland Casino.

Cleveland casino’s opening marks Ohio gambling debut CLEVELAND (AP) — The opening of the first of four Ohio casinos will test the promise of new jobs, a tax windfall and urban revival in the heart of the Rust Belt. New signs are up to direct visitors, the sidewalks have been powerwashed, crosswalks have been freshly painted and 1,600 people have been hired to inaugurate the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland on Monday. But don’t look for a Las Vegas-style casino with outsized fountains or attractions meant to look like New York or Paris: the Cleveland casino projects an image of no-nonsense Midwest values. Tucked into four floors of the old Higbee department store, which starred in the 1983 film “A Christmas Story,” the casino doesn’t stand out amid the downtown skyscrapers. Only understated signs and flags with the Horseshoe logo hint at the art-deco revival look inside. “It almost makes you want to get dressed up, put on a tuxedo or ball gown and come here,” said Jeff Cohen, a principal of Rock Gaming, a partner in the casino with Caesars Entertainment. And gamble. Critics are wary of problems that casinos can bring. “I think there’s no doubt that any time gambling is expanded or has expanded around the country, you’ve seen an increase in problem and addicted gamblers,” said Rob Walgate, vice pres-
ident of the American Policy Roundtable which has fought expanded gambling in Ohio. Ohio opened its doors to casino gambling when voters approved four casinos in 2009, the fifth time in 20 years a gambling expansion was proposed in the state. The previous attempts were rejected. The 53 percent winning margin came with backers promising new jobs, extra tax revenues for struggling cities and school districts, but opponents, led by church groups, worried about more troubled gamblers and accompanying social ills. The Cleveland casino has about 2,100 slot machines, 63 table games a 30-table World Series of Poker room and a VIP lounge for high-end gamblers who need a break without mixing with the Rust Belt crowd. Horseshoe has the ubiquitous casino buffet and a food court with three outlets: Italian, burgers and deli fare. And the casino has deals with nearly a dozen restaurants to offer discounts for loyal gamblers. There are two bars but no free drinks for compliant gamblers: state law bars complimentary liquor. Without Vegas-style floor shows and lacking its own hotel, the non-gambling offerings may seem modest, but that’s the point: the casino has aggressively marketed ties to restaurants and hotels and thinks encouraging visitors to sample other
attractions will mean they all win. If done right, that will provide a compelling experience for visitors, according to Marcus Glover, senior vice president and general manager of the casino. “We feel pretty good about what we’re bringing to the table,” Glover said. “We’re going to put our best foot forward and try to drive as much foot traffic and tourism to this area that we can.” The casino location underscores an urban trend like Detroit’s and the Caesar-owned Harrah’s at the edge of the French Quarter in New Orleans. The urban casino locations have a familiar feel but parking can be an issue in densely developed downtowns like Cleveland, where rates are already up. The casino expects 5 million visitors a year and said it would generate $100 million a year in taxes, with more than half going to the city, county and school districts in the county in the first full year. It hired 1,600 people, more than 90 percent of them from the Cleveland area, a region hard-hit by the recession and loss of manufacturing jobs. The opening in Cleveland will give Ohio’s other casinos a chance to size up how state regulators operate. “We’re glad to see Cleveland opening,” said Bob Tenenbaum, a spokesman for Penn National Gaming Inc., which will open the Toledo casino May 29.

intend to fly this one as much as possible to give its next caretaker or curator something to talk about.” He sees the trip as a different way to experience the state. “The airlines are amazing for their speed, efficiency and safety, but participating in that kind of air travel on a personal or human level has little correspondence with the experience of actually flying,” he said. “Most passengers are thinking of the destination, not the flight.” He was bracing for potential delays during the journey because of bad weather but kept his sense of humor about it. “I expect a fair amount of delays will be caused due to overcast skies, low ceilings, thunderstorms, rain, hail, snow, sleet, 45-degree temperature swings and tornadoes or what we in Ohio now euphemistically refer to as ‘springtime,’” he joked.

AKRON (AP) — Two pilots from northeast Ohio plan to fly a pair of vintage aircraft on a peculiar tour of the state, making stops in each of the 88 counties while covering nearly 1,700 miles. Gordon Murray of Hudson and Ron Siwik of Chagrin Falls plan to start Sunday near Stow in northeast Ohio and zigzag around the state, finishing more than a week later at Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport to acknowledge the duo who made the state “the birthplace of aviation.” They’ll visit a variety of small airports along the way, from Neil Armstrong Airport near New Knoxville to Pickaway County’s PortO-John Airport and Checkpoint Charlie Airport near Lowell. “If you follow this flight, you are going to enter a world that you probably didn’t know existed,” Murray, 52, told the Akron Beacon Journal. “There are

Going the distance M-U’s Brumbaugh, doubles team win titles BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com Matt Brumbaugh was tested for the first time in weeks. Marshall Winterbotham and Kenton Dickison went the distance — twice. No matter how they did it, though, both of Milton-Union’s district qualifiers took care of business. Brumbaugh fought back from a second-set deficit to sweep his way to a championship at the Division II Sectional tournament at Troy Community Park Saturday, while the doubles team of Winterbotham and Dickison came up clutch time and again, winning a pair of three-setters to claim a sectional

points compared to Dixie’s 183. The Milton girls ran away with the title, winning by a landslide with 185.33 points — the next closest was Madison with 156. “Winning the league the way we did, it was a whole team effort,” Milton-Union coach Michael Meredith said. “We scored 368 points between the girls and boys. Everyone stepped up. We got points from kids out of everywhere. “The biggest thing was having my assistant coaches back. I give those guys all the credit.” Tyler Hunt placed first in the 110 hurdles (16.72 seconds), Jake Finfrock won the 400 (50.50) and placed third in the 100 (11.77), while Kain Smiley finished third in the (52.49).

CINCINNATI (AP) — Jordan Zimmermann extended Washington’s streak of dominant starts, and Danny Espinosa homered for the second straight game Saturday night, leading the Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The Nationals lost catcher Wilson Ramos, whose right leg buckled while he chased a passed ball in the seventh inning. He had to be helped from the field. Zimmermann (2-3) gave up five hits and struck out nine. Washington’s starters have allowed one earned run or fewer 19 times this season. Espinosa hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the sixth off Jose Arredondo (2-1). Ramos also had a solo shot off Mat Latos.

■ CONTINUED FROM A6 from slamming his bat against a wall on Friday night. He went 0 for 4 and struck out. Manager Davey Johnson decided to leave Harper in the lineup so he could take his frustrations out on the opposing pitcher instead of the dugout wall. Instead, he ended up 0 for 9 in the series with four strikeouts. The Reds gave away Joey Votto bobbleheads and drew 42,294 fans, their third capacity crowd of the season. For the second night in a row, Cincinnati couldn’t do much against the major leagues’ stingiest pitching staff. Washington’s starters have 17 quality starts in the past 18 games, taking the pressure off an offense that doesn’t score a lot of runs. Rodriguez Henry pitched the ninth for his eighth save in 10 chances, fanning three batters on 10 pitches. The Nationals had a chance to break it open in the fifth with their young, bandaged star at the plate. The Reds intentionally walked Adam LaRoche to load the bases with two outs and bring up Harper, who hit a grounder up the middle. Gold Glove second baseman Brandon Phillips made a backhand stop, then flipped the ball behind his back for a forceout at second, raising his arm and pounding his chest three times in celebration. Nothing Harper could do about that. Latos gave up three hits in five innings. He also walked five, matching his career high. Cincinnati put Scott Rolen on the 15-day disabled list shortly before the start of the game with more pain in his left shoulder, a chronic problem the past few years. The 37-year-old third baseman had surgery on the shoulder last August. NOTES: RH Bronson Arroyo tries for his second straight win in the final game of the series.
■ CONTINUED FROM A6 Sergei Brubaker, Logan Jackson and Minton finished first (8:31.84), Finfrock, Minton, Smiley — all of whom went to state in the 4x400 last season — along with Zach Pricer finished first in the event (3:29.55). Brubaker finished first in the 800 (2:05.88), just edging Jackson (2:05.90), who finished second. Then Brubaker finished first in the 3,200 (10:15.00) and placed second in the mile (4:40.03), while Jackson placed fourth in the 1,600 (4:41.03) and fourth in the 3,200 (10:38.60) and Finfrock (23.62 seconds) and Zach Pricer (23.83) placed fifth and sixth in the 200.

In the field events, Rachel Hurst (88-2) and Cate Busse (85-8) placed second and third in the discus. Busse also finished third in the shot put (29-1.25). Kasey Jackson tied for second in the high jump (4-4). Douglas and Jackson were the top two finishers in the long jump. Douglas’s jump of 143.50 was just enough to beat Jackson’s leap of 14-3.00. In the pole vault, Brooke Brown came in second (7-6) and Chloe Lewald was fourth (7-0). • CCC WEST ALEXANDRIA — The Covington boys track team ran away with the Cross County Conference title Saturday, totaling 142 points, while Miami East got second with 101.

Red Sox their first winning streak in May. Doubront (3-1) allowed one run on three hits, which was all the Indians would get as relievers Andrew Miller, Vicente Padilla and Alfredo Aceves didn’t allow a baserunner over the final three innings. Aceves got his seventh save with a perfect ninth, striking out Carlos Santana to end it just 2 hours, 30 minutes after it started. Doubront was pulled before the seventh after throwing 109 pitches through six innings. He walked two and struck out five.
It was by far the best pitching game in weeks for the Red Sox, who have slumped into last place in the AL East. Boston had allowed four runs or more in every game since a 1-0 shutout of the Chicago White Sox on April 28. The Red Sox have won two straight, their first winning streak since a 5-0 stretch at the end of April. Zach McAllister (1-1) got the start for Cleveland after being recalled from Triple-A Columbus earlier in the day. He also had a strong outing, scattering eight hits over eight innings and striking out eight but he didn’t get much run support.

Heat’s James wins 3rd MVP award MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James spent two days trying to figure out the right words. An assistant jotted some ideas on notecards, which were ignored. So when the moment came to deliver his MVP acceptance speech, James spoke emotionally about family, charity, history and what the Miami Heat organization means to him. And he finished with a flourish. “Heat nation, we have a bigger goal,” James said. “This is very overwhelming to me as an individual award. But this is not the award I want, ultimately. I want that championship. That’s all that matters to me.” James accepted his third NBA MVP award Saturday, making him the eighth player in league history to win that many. The others Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson
and Moses Malone all have won NBA titles. On Sunday, James resumes that quest. “He’s going to get his,” Heat President Pat Riley said. “He will get his championship. And there might be a lot more there, too.” James received 85 of a possible 121 first-place votes from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league, with fans JAMES on NBA.com combining for one vote. He earned 1,074 points, topping Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant (889 points, 24 first-place votes), the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul (385, six first-place votes), the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (352, two first-place votes), and San Antonio’s Tony Parker (331, four first-place votes). James lauded the other
top candidates for the MVP, and lauded his teammates and those around him even more. “This is a team game and I wouldn’t be receiving what I’ve received in the past and now in the present without my teammates and without my family and friends who’ve helped me to this point,” James said away from the stage. “Even though it’s an individual award, I always go back to my teammates. I always go back to my friends and my family. No one can do it alone.” When the results were released, Durant offered congratulations. “LeBron, that’s like unheard of for a guy to get three out of four MVPs,” Durant said. “A good friend of mine. I’m happy for him and of course I would love to
have the MVP but at the same time, I’ve just got to keep improving, keep getting better and hopefully I’ll have one soon.” The way some around the Heat see it, Saturday could have been a fourth straight MVP for James. His numbers this season 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game on 53 percent shooting are extremely comparable to last season, when he finished a distant third in the MVP race behind Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard. Similar numbers. Much better result. A year ago, following all the fallout that accompanied his decision to leave Cleveland and sign with Miami, James realized there was no way he was going to have voters back him for a third straight season. Long before the results were in, James knew the 2011 MVP wasn’t going to be his.
84-83, Rondo drove to the basket and, with his path blocked, turned and handed the ball to Garnett. He banked one in and drew the foul to give Boston a two-point lead, then added another jumper. After misses by Turner and Lou Williams, Paul Pierce hit a fall-away jumper with 78 seconds left to make it a six-point lead the Celtics’ biggest of the night.

Kevin Na hits from a bunker on the 11th hole during the third round of the Players Championship golf tournament at TPC Sawgrass on Saturday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Na takes 1-shot lead at Players PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Na is slow to pull the trigger, and quick to make fun of himself. In what made for painful viewing Saturday in The Players Championship for fans at the TPC Sawgrass and those watching from home Na took hundreds of waggles as he set up over the ball, backed off the shot if he didn’t feel comfortable and a couple of times purposely missed so he could start over. The only number that mattered was a 4-under 68, one of only three bogeyfree rounds on a dangerous golf course. Backing off only once in the 18th fairway, he hit his approach to 15 feet for birdie and took a one-shot lead over Matt Kuchar (69) going into the final round. “There’s so much on the line that I just have to sometimes back off,” Na said. “Or I’ll force myself to take it back, and on the way down I’ll pull up and go over the top (of the ball). As ugly as it is, and as painful as it is, believe me,
it’s really tough for me. And I’m trying.” Kuchar had the lead until hitting wedge into the water at the islandgreen 17th and escaping with bogey, and he saved par from the rough-covered moguls to the right of the 18th green. He had one stretch of eight holes without a par, making six birdies and a bogey. Rickie Fowler, coming off his first PGA Tour win last week at Quail Hollow, was dynamic as ever as he shot up the leaderboard. Fowler didn’t make a bogey until the last hole but still had the best score of the third round with a 66 and was two shots behind. He is trying to become the first player since David Duval in 1997 to win his first two PGA Tour titles in consecutive weeks. Na, playing with Zach Johnson, was on the clock throughout the back nine, and he was given a bad time on the 16th hole. He made an unsuccessful appeal, claiming he went over the allotted time because his caddie’s shadow was in the way.

Rangers hold on, edge Caps, 2-1 NEW YORK (AP) — Brad Richards and Michael Del Zotto scored, Henrik Lundqvist made 22 saves, and the New York Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference finals with a 2-1 victory in Game 7 over the Washington Capitals. Richards scored less than two minutes in, and Del Zotto doubled the lead in the third period to help the top-seeded Rangers improve to 5-0 in Game 7s at Madison Square Garden. That set up a matchup with the New Jersey Devils, the team the Rangers beat in the 1994 conference
finals en route to their first Stanley Cup title in 54 years. That series will open Monday in New York. New York and Washington alternated wins and losses from Game 1 on, and this one didn’t come easy for the Rangers, who missed a chance to eliminate the Capitals in Game 6 on the road. Just 38 seconds after Del Zotto made it 2-0 at 10:05 of the third, Roman Hamrlik sent a shot off of New York forward Derek Stepan that fluttered past Lundqvist for his only blemish of the night.
■ CONTINUED FROM A6 the top seed for Thursday’s district tournament in three sets, while Bollinger and the team of Schmitt and Thompson both won their consolation matches for third-place finishes. • Trojan Horses Reid Wynkoop and Luke Oaks really didn’t have a secret to bouncing Butler’s Lauren Jackson and Ryan Helke, the No. 1 seed in the sectional tournament. They just worked harder, wanted it more and came through in clutch moments. The second-seeded Troy doubles team split the first two sets with Jackson and Helke before dominating the third in a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 victory in the sectional championship match Saturday, earning a No. 1 seed for themselves in next week’s district tournament. “The key was just to take it one point at a time, keep balls in play and let them make the mistakes,” said Wynkoop, a senior. “We just wanted to put out positive energy going into every point,” the freshman Oaks said. “We knew we’d have a decent match against them, but we felt like it was winnable.” The Trojan team fought through a back-and-forth first set, only to come out on top when it mattered most. In the second, though, Jackson and Helke were able to take advantage of newly-discovered openings to force a decisive third set. “The first set was close, but there was some pretty good tennis,” Troy coach Mark Goldner said. “When they had to have points, though, they always came up with them. But then they lost a whole lot of intensity in the second set. It just seemed to disappear. “I told them they needed to have a sense of urgency, to hold serve and get their intensity back. After breaking to go up 4-1, they were feeling pretty confident.” Wynkoop and Oaks had started the day off slow, fighting off Northmont’s No. 3 seed Alex Starr and Taishi Sakai in a first-set tiebreaker before pummeling them in the second 7-6 (1), 6-1. At the end of the day, though, they were sectional champions — Wynkoop for the second year in a row and Oaks in his first opportunity. “It feels great to have a repeat,” Wynkoop said. “It just shows that hard work pays off.” “It’s good,” Oaks said. “Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to district all four years.” Still, the duo — which

We know we’ll have to come out fighting,” Wynkoop said. • Fighting Back Chris Schmitt was beside himself. Serving with a 40-0 lead and a chance to tie the third set at 4-4 during a semifinal match against Jackson and Helke, Butler’s team was able to rally and win the next five straight points to instead take a 5-3 lead. They then closed out the set in the next game, winning 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 to move on to the sectional title game. “I just wanted to go home,” Schmitt said. “I didn’t even want to play (the consolation match).” “Chris was really upset, and I understand,” Goldner said. “But he just had to look at the big picture: he will do that more, and he will do that to other people, also. It was just unfortunate that it happened during that match.” But he and Ben Thompson stayed at the park, got back on the court and took down Starr and Sakai 7-6 (4), 6-1. “We both weren’t very happy (with the first match),” Thompson said. “We’re kind of slow starters, and there were a lot of deuce games that we should have had. But it also depends on how Butler plays. They’re a streaky team. But we came back and won the next match, if nothing else to have a better seed at district.” “We wanted to win that match because we knew we could,” Schmitt said. “I think
Troy’s Ben Thompson hits a forehand shot Saturday during the Division I Sectional tournament. we just focused and hammered down. We weren’t happy with the result (third place), but we weren’t mad either.” “They got over it, which kids do, and played very well against Northmont,” Goldner said. • Marathon Man Tippecanoe’s Sam Bollinger likes to make the other guy work. But he and Butler’s Justin Kopronica worked enough for everyone in the entire singles bracket. Second-seeded Bollinger and No. 3 Kopronica rallied 40 to 50 times per point all morning, playing a marathon three-set match that, fittingly enough, ended up coming down to a decisive tiebreaker. Kopronica was able to find the juice to win it, though, claiming a 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1) victory in the semifinal round. Bollinger trailed 4-0 in the first set before winning six straight games. Kopronica dominated the second set, but Bollinger went up 4-1 in the third — only to have Kopronica fight back to take a 5-4 lead. Aided by the net chord, though, Bollinger went up 6-5. “I was exhausted,” Bollinger said. “I was thinking that I just needed to close it out, but I didn’t do it.”
Kopronica forced a tiebreaker, lost the first point of it and rolled off seven straight points to win the match and earn a title matchup with teammate David Scher, the top seed — who swept the worn-out freshman 6-0, 6-0. “He hit a lot of good shots in the tiebreaker,” Bollinger said. “It was a good match.” “There wasn’t a spot on the court that they didn’t hit the ball to,” Tippecanoe coach Von Clendenen said. “If they had one of those electronic shot trackers during that match, there wouldn’t be a single spot that wasn’t covered.” Thirty minutes later, Bollinger was back to business, outplaying yet another Butler player, Kyle Teague, 64, 6-3, to earn the third seed at the district tournament. “I think that match (with Kopronica) gave us some respect in Division I,” Clendenen said. “That was a gutsy performance.” “I’m going to be working on my shots this week,” Bollinger said. “Working on hitting the ball stronger.” But first … some muchneeded rest. “He’s pretty well spent. We’ll give him Monday off then get back to work Tuesday,” Clendenen said.
Winterbotham and the sophomore Dickison. “This is the coolest thing I could imagine right now,” Winterbotham said. “I’ve worked so long for this — and blondie here (Dickison) helped me win it. We were so tired and achy after our first match, but once we started playing, it all just went away.” “I am so pumped right now,” Dickison said. “After we won our first match, we knew we’d be either a one or two (seed at district), so we just relaxed and started to have fun.” It was an impressive achievement for Dickison, also, considering that last season was his first playing competitive tennis. “I’d messed around with it before, but last year was when I decided to really work at it,” he said. “Last year, Craig Hollis and I were third in our league at doubles, and that’s when I knew I wanted more. Once I figured out that I was going to stick with it, I knew I didn’t want to mess it up. And a lot of that is all of the people
helping me out — coach Davidson, Sharon Paul and everyone on the team have been really great and helped me a lot.” “They’ve got one tennis player — Marshall — and one athlete — Kenton. And they play really, really well together as a team,” Davidson said. “And that’s what you have to have at doubles. Teamwork. “They came into the day with no idea what the teams they’d be playing would be like. In their first match, the other team stayed on the baseline and just sent lobs back at them. And in their second match, the team they played liked to rush the net. Both times it threw their games off a little, but they adjusted really well. I was very happy with the way they played.” And they’ll be ready to put more of that teamwork on display at the district tournament Thursday at Centerville High School. No matter how many mirrors they break or ladders they walk under between now and then.

D-II ■ CONTINUED FROM A6 season. Brumbaugh refocused and rallied, storming back to win the match’s final five games to close out a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Bennett to win his first sectional title. “It’s nice to have past wins under your belt (over a certain player),” Brumbaugh said. “You just have to try to get back to the way you were playing back then.” Brumbaugh — who knocked off Lehman’s Dan Sehlhorst 6-2, 6-1 in the semifinal — had swept his way through the tournament without coming close to dropping a set. And after the first set against Bennett, it looked like it would be the same situation. But Bennett, who swept Brookville’s Nathan Hart, 62, 6-2, to earn a shot at the top seed, found some momentum to start the second set, cutting down on errors, finding ways to force them out of Brumbaugh getting his opponent rattled and storming out to a 4-1 lead in the process. Brumbaugh held serve to make it 4-2 — before
completely turning the match around. Bennett held a 40-15 lead, but Brumbaugh hit a winner and rallied long enough to force an error — and a deuce. He then closed out the game with two more consecutive points to make it 4-3 … and then took care of the next three games in under 15 minutes. “That game was probably the momentum swing I needed to keep rolling,” Brumbaugh said. “Matt and Pierce have always had good matches,” Davidson said. “That was Matt’s first hard match in probably two weeks — he’d pretty much breezed through the league tournament and first part of the sectional. They bring out the best in each other.” But more than just a title was at stake on the day, and that fact also helped drive Brumbaugh — a better draw for next week’s district tournament. “I knew getting a No. 1 seed (for the district) was going to be a lot better than a two,” Brumbaugh said. “That
helped push me a little more because I knew what was on the line.” Sehlhorst scored the No. 3 seed in the consolation match, defeating Star 6-3, 60. • Overcoming Curses One game away from victory, Marshall Winterbotham looked at the scorecard — and, despite holding a three-game lead, didn’t like what he saw. Two games later, while he and Kenton Dickison were celebrating their freshly-won sectional championship, he walked off the court, looked at his coach and said “It was the 5-2 curse!” But no curse — not even a black cat meandering around the courts all afternoon — could stop the Bulldogs’ top-seeded doubles duo as Dickison and Winterbotham were the very definition of “team” in a 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 victory over Catholic Central’s Pat and Casey Burns. With Winterbotham serving for the match at 5-2, the Irish broke serve at 30-40 to stay alive — one of many
times the Bulldogs struggled while holding a 5-2 edge on the day. Each time they led 52, in fact, they lost the game but ended up winning the set sooner or later, knocking off Kenton Ridge’s Jacob Abshear and Jacob Glass 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the semifinal, making them 0-4 when the set score was 5-2 in their favor. But the Bulldogs closed Catholic Central out in the next game, breaking back at 15-40 to win it. “I pretty much choked,” the Milton-Union senior said. “But then we won it in the next game. He (Dickison) picked me up when I as down.” “And Marshall did the same for me a lot today, too,” Dickison said. “That was a great team we beat (in the final). But we had great teamwork.” “We alternated,” Winterbotham said. “When one of us was down or not playing well, the other picked their game up.” It will be the first trip to the district tournament for both the senior

Pike gets chance with Cincy CINCINNATI (AP) — Quarterback Tony Pike had his name affixed above the wooden locker that once belonged to Cincinnati Bengals receiver Jerome Simpson. It was a temporary nameplate, but that was fine by Pike, who is getting a chance to revive his career and have a memorable weekend with his hometown team. The former University of Cincinnati star was invited to rookie minicamp over the weekend to show how far his throwing elbow has recovered from two operations to fix a nerve problem. There’s a chance they could sign him to a deal if they think he’s healthy and see potential. Even if it’s only for the weekend, Pike is enjoying each practice in the stadium where he watched the Bengals play as a fan. “It was a lifelong dream all rolled up in an about hour and a half out there,” he said after practice. “With me growing up in the city and supporting the team, wanting to be part of it, it was pretty special.” Given how his career has gone, Pike is relishing every chance to throw a pass with someone watching. He grew up in a suburb and regularly attended University of Cincinnati games when the Bearcats were trying to make their football program relevant. He stayed at home for college and led the Bearcats to their greatest moments, back-to-back Big East titles under Brian Kelly and berths in the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl.

Weeden shows off cannon arm BEREA (AP) — Clay pigeons became clay particles. In the blink of an eye, Browns rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden’s powerful right arm turned the tiny targets into dust. As he prepared for the NFL draft, Weeden recently took part in an experiment on an episode of ESPN’s “Sports Science,” where the former Oklahoma State star and one-time minor league baseball pitcher fired footballs at clay targets traveling at 43 mph. During one stretch he downed four out of five, blasting the soaring projectiles into smithereens. “Pretty impressive,” said wide receiver Josh Cooper, Weeden’s college teammate who signed as an undrafted free agent with the Browns. “It’s hard to do that with a shotgun.” Weeden’s got a cannon, and his major league arm was on display again Saturday as Cleveland’s rookies continued their three-day minicamp with two practices. The 28-year-old Weeden has shown he can throw any pass any time. With a flick of his wrist, he has effortlessly flung the ball 55 yards down the field, stood tall in the pocket and delivered 15-yard sideline patterns to receivers in stride and showed nice touch in dumping balls off to running backs. Weeden’s arm strength has been well-documented, and not just by the TV science experiment. While in college, he dislocated two of Cooper’s fingers with missiles over the middle.

Winans, renovated gift shop add new look to UVMC Lobby For the Miami Valley Sunday News
TROY
The Upper Valley Medical Center lobby has taken on a new look this spring with the opening of a Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees kiosk and introduction of a renovated, expanded UVMC Gift Shop. “We’re pleased to bring the new coffee shop to the hospital lobby for the convenience of patients and visitors as well as our own UVMC family,” said Tom Parker, UVMC president/CEO. The shop offers Winans coffees and other beverages along with an assortment of chocolates. Jamie Mayo is the shop manager.
“It has been a very busy, a whirlwind, start,” Joe Reiser, president/ CEO of Winans, said of the kiosk. Reiser sees the kiosk as a partnership between two community-oriented organizations. “It has been a total team effort from the hospital and us from the beginning,” he said. Hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Also unveiled earlier this spring was the renovated, expanded UVMC Gift Shop, run by the hospital’s volun-
teer services. The renovation project — the first major gift shop update since the hospital opened nearly 14 years ago — was funded by the hospital in partnership with the UVMC Auxiliary. The project, which started in January, included a complete interior remodeling offering a more open floor plan, moveable fixtures, new in-store storage and a new security system, said Robin Fisher, volunteer services manager. She said more enhancements are ahead, with new point-of-sale software for better workflow and inventory to be implemented in coming months.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Sunday, May 13, the 134th day of 2012. There are 232 days left in the year. This is Mother’s Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 13, 1992, the Falun Gong movement had its beginning as the sect’s founder, Li Hongzhi, began publicly lecturing on his spiritual philosophy in the northeastern Chinese city of Changchun. On this date: In 1607, English colonists
arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia (the colonists went ashore the next day). In 1846, the United States declared that a state of war already existed with Mexico. In 1917, three shepherd children near Fatima, Portugal, reported seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary. In 1940, Britain’s new prime minister, Winston Churchill, told Parliament: “I have nothing to
offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” In 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded in St. Peter’s Square by Turkish assailant Mehmet Ali Agca. In 1985, a confrontation between Philadelphia authorities and the radical group MOVE ended as police dropped a bomb onto the group’s row house 11 people died in the resulting fire that destroyed 61 homes.
In Egypt turmoil, thieves hunt treasures CAIRO (AP) Taking advantage of Egypt’s political upheaval, thieves have gone on a treasure hunt with a spree of illegal digging, preying on the country’s ancient pharaonic heritage. Illegal digs near ancient temples and in isolated desert sites have swelled a staggering 100-fold over the past 16 months since a popular uprising toppled Hosni Mubarak’s 29-year regime and security fell apart in many areas as police simply stopped doing their jobs. The pillaging comes on top of a wave of break-ins last year at archaeological storehouses and even at Cairo’s famed Egyptian Museum, the country’s biggest repository of pharaonic artifacts. Horrified archaeologists and antiquities authorities are scrambling to prevent smuggling, keeping a watch on European and American auction houses in case stolen artifacts show up there. “Criminals became so bold they are digging in landmark areas.” including

Taking advantage of Egypt’s political upheaval, thieves have gone on a treasure hunt with a spree of illegal digging, preying on the country’s ancient pharaonic heritage. near the Great Pyramids in Giza, other nearby pyramids and the grand temples of the southern city of Luxor, said Maj.-Gen. Abdel-Rahim Hassan, commander of the Tourism and
Antiquities Police Department. “It is no longer a crime motivated by poverty, it’s naked greed and it involves educated people,” he said. In a country with more
than 5,000 years of civilization buried under its sands, illegal digs have long been a problem. With only slight exaggeration, Egyptians like to joke you can dig anywhere and turn up
something ancient, even if its just pottery shards or a statuette. But in the security void, the treasure hunting has mushroomed, with 5,697 cases of illegal digs since the start of the antiMubarak uprising in early 2011 100 times more than the previous year, according to figures obtained by The Associated Press from the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of police. Related crimes have risen as well 1,467 cases of illicit trading in antiquities and 130 attempts to smuggle antiquities abroad. At least 35 people have been killed in incidents connected to illegal digs, including 10 buried alive in the southern city of Naga Hamadi in March when the hole they dug in the ground caved in. Others were killed in disputes when thieves fell out over sharing the finds, according to Interior Ministry officials familiar with the incidents. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.
Those are just the crimes that police uncovered. In their digs, fortune hunters pick spots that are just outside major archaeological sites in hopes that treasures can be found some distance beyond their parameters. Others dig in areas set aside for future excavations by the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Egypt’s top state archaeological agency. Last month, police arrested two men who lived just behind the temple of Khnum in the southern town of Esna for illegally digging under their homes. Police said they found a 10meter (10-yard) deep hole under the houses with hieroglyphic inscriptions dating to the Ptolemaic dynasty as well as ancient clay pots. Farther south in the Nile-side city of Aswan, police last month arrested a government employee who also dug under his house, uncovering clay pots, an incense urn and tablets bearing images of lotus flowers.
In Iraq, car perk overrides promises to public BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s lawmakers have hightailed it out of town for a six-week vacation without following through on promises to cancel a pricey perk for free armored cars that they approved for themselves in the annual budget. It is the sort of move that is fueling resentments among the struggling Iraqi public, many of whom accuse the country’s leaders of being corrupt and only in politics for their own profit. For months, parliament has failed to rework the $100 billion budget that came under widespread criticism or pass a list of laws to tackle the country’s numer-
ous problems. “They have not discussed ways of how to improve the lives of people like me,” Ammar Hassan, a college graduate from Karbala who drives a taxi to support himself, said. “They only think about themselves instead of paying attention to people’s welfare.” The 39-year-old Hassan said he earns an average of about $200 each month a fraction of the monthly $22,500 salary afforded to each of the 325 lawmakers in parliament. “I’m afraid the day will come when lawmakers pass a law imposing taxes on ordinary people’ salaries
and incomes to cover their own living costs,” he said bitterly. Iraq’s government has been rife with corruption going back to the regime of former dictator Saddam Hussein, who hoarded the nation’s oil riches for himself and his cronies amid an impoverished public. Hopes that conditions would dramatically improve as Iraq tried to build a postSaddam democracy proved overly optimistic, however. A quarter of Iraq’s population of 31 million people live in poverty, and an estimated 15 percent are unemployed, according to U.S. data compiled by the Central Intelligence
Agency. Raw sewage runs through the streets in many neighborhoods, polluting tap water, sickening residents and adding to an overall sense of misery. Many Iraqis only have 12 hours of electricity each day. By contrast, Iraqi lawmakers were given a $90,000 stipend for expenses in addition to their monthly salaries when they took office in 2010. And in February, parliament voted to buy $50 million worth of armored cars to protect lawmakers from insurgent attacks that routinely target officials. But far more innocent
bystanders than government officials usually are killed in Iraq’s still-frequent bombings. The pricey perk enraged the public, which was only soothed by sheepish promises to redirect the money to what parliament speaker Osama alNujaifi at the time called “more important and vital items for the community.” Since then, however, lawmakers have dragged their feet on giving up the cars and on most other vital legislation. Lawmaker Mohammed al-Khalidi said the latest plan being considered would let legislators from some of Iraq’s most dangerous provinces Baghdad,
Sunni-dominated Anbar and Ninevah, and the sectarian and ethnically divided Diyala keep the cars. “Others who live in violence-free areas such as the self-ruled northern Kurdish region and southern provinces will not get them,” said al-Khalidi. A member of the Sunnidominated Iraqiya political bloc, al-Khalidi lives in the northern Ninevah province, a former al-Qaida bastion, and voted to give lawmakers the cars. Before lawmakers could finalize any changes, parliament started a six-week vacation last week and isn’t scheduled to return to Baghdad until June 15.

Turning up the heat Fashions for summer are bright and breezy
RIGHT: A pair of coral patent shoes by LindsayPhillips.
BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com
he dreary days of winter have come and gone, so it’s only fitting that fashion be ablaze with bright yellows and oranges (think sun!) and splashes of bold blue (nothing but blue skies). Glistening metallics, floral prints and breezy light blouses, among other trends, are also popping up in local stores, including Ashley’s Boutique in downtown Troy, 120 W. Main St.; Barclay’s in Piqua, 314 N. Main St.; and Urban Ava Boutique in Tipp City, 27 E. Main St.
Colors Bold and bright colors dominate for summer, with a spectrum of cool and warm shades. “Coral is such a big seller this summer,” said Rachel Huelsman, head of marketing for Ashley’s Boutique. A pair of coral peep-toe flats by designer Lindsay Phillips has proven to be the store’s biggest sell. The flower embellishment on the shoe can be snapped off and traded for another charm, such as a starfish-, nature- or floralinspired one. On the opposite side of the color wheel, beautiful blues are still cool when the weather’s hot. Kelley Andary, owner of Urban Ava, was drawn to blue shades when selecting merchandise. “We saw a lot of turquoise and teal, bright blues and bold colors,” Andary said. One of her favorite warm-weather looks is a turquoise dress with beaded Aztec jewelry, which she showed at a fashion show fundraiser in early May called, “What a Girl Wants Fashion Show for a Cure.” Proceeds benefited the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer. Bright yellows and ivory whites also are huge, she added. Terri Harrison, sales associate and buyer for Barclay’s, noted that metallic accessories are easy-to-match, stylish counterparts for neutrals. “The great thing with a lot of metallics is they can be worn with black, brown or summer white. There’s a lot of versatility,” Harrison said. In particular, white gold and mercury metallic — a pewter color rather than bright silver — add a pretty shimmer with gladiator sandals, handbags and more.
Hot-weather styles Lightweight, sheer and ruffly tops are all the rage for summer, Huelsman said, as are asymmetrical skirts. “We have a ton of high-low skirts — shorter in the front, longer in the back,” she said. While many women are hesitant to try on these not-so-traditional styles, some shoppers have been pleasantly surprised by the look, she reported. Popular patterns across all clothing items include floral, color-blocking, tribal prints and
Ashley’s associate Rachel Huelsman explains the lightweight fabrics and color blocking clothes offered at Ashley’s. graphic designs. Lace looks are popular this season as well, Andary said. Harrison has noticed a trend toward slightly more fancy — but still laid back — everyday clothing. “We’ve been seeing a lot of the day dress — you can run errands, go to lunch with a friend in it. It’s easy to wear, easy to wash and easy to pack. You can add a little sweater for air-conditioned offices and restaurants.” But never fear, jean devotees. White jeans in particular are still very much in style.
Accessories As expected, bright accessories also are stylish pick-meups for fall, in addition to subtle gold and silver pieces. “Color is big this year in accessories and clothing,” Harrison said. “We’re still keeping with the basic black skirt and white slacks, while accessorizing with bright colors.” Standout pieces for Barclay’s include colorful wristlet and handbags and Brighton bracelets in mixed materials including leather, cording, silver and beading. The trend this summer is “layering anywhere from three to seven bracelets,” Harrison said. Cross-body bags also have swept into the mainstream, providing a roomier and more practical alternative to handbags while also looking chic. “That seems to be the number-one accessory now,”
Staff Photos/ ANTHONY WEBER about men’s fashion versus women’s fashion is the trends change like a slow plod instead of a fast sprint,” Robinson said. For the more fashion-forward, adventurous guy, blazers with “little tasteful patterns” are an option, including subtle herringbone and checkered. Casual wear also can be taken up a notch with shorts in plaid or seersucker instead of twill, and linen long- and shortsleeve shirts instead of simple cotton. “We try to present things that are somewhat different than you’d find in big-box stores and department stores,” he said.
Don’t let the clothes wear you Though fashions may change, the ultimate goal endures — dress well for your individual style and unique body type, Andary said. Designers seem to be catching Ashley’s also sells floral print dresses and tops. on. “As a working woman, I want which specializes in menswear Harrison said. “Women and including suits, neck ties, slacks to wear things that flatter me teens like them for vacations, summertime fairs — anything.” and more, in addition to women’s and make me as comfortable as wear.

NATURAL WANDERS
Weed or wildflower? It’s a matter of opinion Weed or wildflower? The question sounds simple enough — until you actually point to a plant and ask. Then the answer can prove elusive, confusing, even argumentative — forever subject to those twin distortions of prejudice and perspective. Everyone has their opinion. And in the end, no matter how hard or deep you dig, nothing is clearcut. Consider the earliest of Ohio’s fleabanes. Common Fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), also called Philadelphia Fleabane, is as pretty a little mid-spring bloom as you’d ever want to see. The composite flowers are large for a fleabane — up to an inch-and-a-half across — with 100-150 rays, which can be white, pink, violet, or a dusty sort of slate-blue. The bloom’s center disks appear in various shades of yellow or orange, sometimes sporting a greenish tinge. Strictly speaking, the blooms — which close up at night — are actually flower clusters or heads. Common fleabane really has two kinds of flowers — the tiny trumpet-like disc flowers that make the yellow center button, and the numerous long, single-petal ray flowers in white or a pastel-colored tinge. Here in southwestern Ohio, Common Fleabane is both

widespread and ubiquitous, appearing along country roads and back alleys, in old fields, residential yards, city parks, or the well-trodden dirt adjacent to a parking-lot sidewalk. No matter where you live, you don’t have to look far to find a clump or two. Yet Common Fleabane is one of those plants folks regularly pass without a second glance. Perhaps the name is a bit offputting. The genus name, Erigeron, may come from the Greek, “eri” meaning “early,” and “geron” or “old man.” This name, “early old man,” would thus reflect the fact that Common Fleabane cycles quickly. In a few weeks the delicate and charming flowers will age, wither, and be done for the year. Others claim the first part of Erigeron comes from the Greek “erio” meaning “wooly.” So you

A hover fly zooms in on a Common Fleabane. end up with “wooly old man,” possibly referring to the rather fuzzy fruiting head. The archaic use of the word, “bane” meant poison — though in this case any supposed poisoning danger applied only to fleas. In the old days folks dried and burned fleabane, letting the smoke fill their homes. It was thought fumes from the smoldering leaves and stems would
act as both fumigant and repellant — killing, or at least driving out, any fleas in the dwelling, and preventing their return for some time afterward. Unfortunately, modern scientific tests reveal contemporary fleas exhibit absolutely no reactions to the acrid smoke. While Common Fleabane may not be a botanical panacea against pests, it remains a
hardy, easily-grown plant, whose mid-spring flowers are quite lovely and ought to be better welcomed. After all, other weeds-turned-wildflowers also have unattractive names and a funky folkloric history. The delightful Ox-Eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), and the spectacular New-England Aster (Symphyotrichum novaeangliae), are both similar composites, and like the Common Fleabane, members of the prolific Asteraceae Family. Both daisy and aster plants can be purchased in grocery-store seed packets, ordered from countless gardening catalogues, or picked up at the local lawn-and-garden store in starter pots ready to transplant. So how is it they’ve successfully made the public persona switch while charming Common Fleabane hasn’t? When you compare the OxEye Daisy and New-England Aster to the Common Fleabane, it’s obvious the fleabane holds its own in terms of beauty. There’s an old saying that wildflowers are just weeds with better press agents. In this case, I believe that’s the answer. Naturally, I’m as opinionated and prejudiced as the next guy. Moreover, I’m usually predisposed to root for the underdog. So don’t bother asking — I say Common Fleabane is an uncommonly pretty wildflower.
A sweet-smelling gift Give herbs to mom for Mother’s Day BY MAUREEN GILMER Scripps Howard News Service A recent study in Ireland shows that common thyme contains alkaloids that fight acne. It’s the natural antibiotic in oil of thyme that kills bacteria that infects human pores, thus causing breakouts. A study in the UK showed that rosemary oil can enhance cognitive performance. Tansy, an ancient herb, was tested in Spain, revealing that its components may be effective in the control of herpes. Modern medicine is taking a fresh look at these oilrich plants to see if any of the ancient uses can be backed up by modern science. Ways to use herbs in the home was something moth-
ers passed down to daughters for millennia. Known as the “useful plants,” they grew in many families’ gardens, or often thrived in small pots kept on porches to receive kitchen wastewater. This legacy makes herbs the ideal gift for Mother’s Day because they have so many uses. Any foodie knows the culinary applications, but it takes time to learn the medicinal ones. While cut flowers may make a beautiful Mother’s Day gift, they’re expensive and short-lived. For dads and kids looking for a more affordable gift for Mom this year, consider a basket of herb plants. You’ll find these at garden centers and home-improvement stores in small, affordable sizes. The plants may be ganged into a decorative

basket or box, or planted in a set of teacups by small fingers. It’s not easy for dads to pick out herbs for Mom, so let’s look at three of the most useful groups to help select gifts she’ll love. For an avid gardener, there are two quick-growing annual herbs: basil and cilantro. These are annual plants that grow from seed each year and, therefore, can blend into the kitchen garden with ease. They can also be grown in standard flowerpots in urban gardens or on the patio. There are many flavors of basil, so a whole basket of them would make a treasured gift for any pesto lover. Woody herbs are stiffstem shrubs or sub shrubs that have been in use since Roman times. Rosemary is a divine topiary, sage is essential for Thanksgiving turkey and lavender makes an incredible scent anywhere in the home. For a mom who is crafty, make sure you offer her English spike lavender with its popular flower stems. Creeper-spreader herbs make outstanding groundcovers between steppingstones, in rock walls or between larger shrubs. In England, it’s traditional to grow a lawn of creeping thyme or chamomile to scent the feet or trailing skirts. Thyme is a lowgrowing cascader that loves dry stonewalls where its root crown is well above the wet. Creeping rosemary is an outstanding waterfall of oil-rich foliage for any elevated location. The Mediterranean origins of most culinary herbs limit their cold-hardiness. They are also sensitive to moisture in humid summer climates where soils are poorly drained. In the wild, they are found on sundrenched slopes and other

Old wine crates make an ideal planting project. elevated places where the root crown remains high and dry under overly wet, cool conditions. If Mom is going to plant her herbal gift plants into her garden, give them in nursery pots. If she wants them indoors or on the patio, you can transplant
them into a simple red clay pot that helps prevent overwatering with its porous sides. Sweeten the offering by having the kids each paint a pot with their own choice of decorations. The beauty of herbal gifts is not the plant or the pot. The gift is Dad taking
the kids out to shop for herbs while Mom has time to herself. At home, his efforts to do it all on the sly will make every Mother’s Day priceless. Maureen Gilmer is an author, horticulturist and landscape designer.

More grandparents raising grandchildren Older generation finds themselves taking on parenting duties LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — At age 57, more than a decade after raising her two daughters, Marty Dahlstrom found herself parenting again. She took in her grandson, Devin Dahlstrom, when he was an infant just two years after raising his half brother, Ryan Dahlstrom, who died at age 11. Marty’s daughter, the mother of Devin and Ryan, is not in the picture. Neither is Devin’s father. Marty raised both boys with her husband, Vernon Dahlstrom, until he passed away last June. During their 48 years of marriage, they had only about four years off from parenting. “It’s not the kids’ fault,” said Marty, 71, of Lafayette. “There are millions of people like me in the world. We were glad we could help out. I hate to see kids hurt.” Many grandparents have stepped in to again take on the responsibility of parenting and the number is growing. In 2000 about 2.4 million grandparents across the country were responsible for grandchildren who were younger than 18 years old. By 2010, the number grew 9 percent, increasing to 2.6 million, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The growth in Indiana more than doubled the national increase. In 2000, there were 48,181 grandparents raising their grandchildren. The number grew 19 percent to 57,421 by 2010, according to the census. Negative circumstances play a role in driving up these numbers. Still, there’s a silver lining. In the midst of legal battles for custody, closing generational gaps and managing strained finances, grandparents support their grandchildren and adult children with an unwavering perseverance and step into a parenting position with love and open arms. Jan Fay, a coordinator
with Area IV Agency on Aging and Community Action Programs in Indiana, said there are many factors that contribute to the growing trend. Among them: parental death, drug abuse, divorce or broken homes. “A lot of them that we see, the father was never in the picture,” she said. “The couple just isn’t together, whether they were married or not.” She said sometimes parents cannot handle the responsibility of taking care of their disabled children, so the grandparents step into that situation as well. Judith Myers-Walls, a retired professor of human development and family studies at Purdue University, said the situations are usually unexpected. “It’s not a planned thing,” she said. “It’s usually because something has gone wrong and generally with the parents.” Another reason might be abuse in the home and grandparents try to keep the children out of the foster care system, she said. “We are paying more attention to child abuse and neglect,” she said. “Courts are more likely to award custody to grandparents than foster parents to try to keep families together.” Other factors include a struggling economy and longer life expectancies. “Grandparents are also living longer and are healthier so they are able to take on that role,” she said. But even in good health, grandparents like Marty worry about their grandchild’s future if something were to happen to them. “I’m no spring chicken,” she said. “All of my family that he would know (is) older and not able to take it on and not every person is willing to take it on either. It’s a big responsibility.” Devin, 14, shares her

In this photo taken April 22, Devin Dahlstrom plays cards with his grandmother Marty Dahlstrom, at their home in Lafayette, Ind. Many grandparents have stepped in to again take on the responsibility of parenting and the number is growing. concern. “I wouldn’t know what to do if she left,” he said. There’s also the financial burden of taking on children later in life. Donna O’Brien, 49, of Frankfort, has guardianship of three of her grandchildren. Her middle daughter is their mother. O’Brien said that her daughter is trying to get her life back on track. In the meantime, O’Brien is taking care of the children. The fathers are not involved. “It’s been a struggle financially, even with help,” she said. “They are constantly growing, eating, needing new clothes and new shoes. It’s very, very difficult.” Cindy Fuller of West Lafayette is also taking care of three of her grandchildren, Kierstin Sattler, 16, Jakob Sattler, 12, and Isaiah Sattler, 10. She said finances are constantly strained. The family sacrifices luxuries such as cable and forgoes repairs. “My washing machine just broke and I can’t afford to get a new one,” said Fuller, 53, who works as a full-time machinist. “You make do with what you have. I don’t get child support from the dads. My
daughter is helping now because she’s working. I took on the responsibility of them so I figure I’m paying for them.” There are also emotional hurdles. Grandparents may be mourning the physical or figurative absence of their adult child. Also, if that child did something illegal to cause the situation, there may be feelings of guilt, anger or self-blame, Myers-Walls said. “They’ve got a lot of emotions to deal with along with taking on that new role,” she said. In the beginning, O’Brien experienced feelings of guilt and wondered what went wrong with her parenting, she said. “But they get to a certain age and they have to be responsible for their own actions,” she said. “Where she put herself was where she put herself.” She said the fact that her daughter’s children are living with her has strained their relationship. “She basically blames me for taking care of her children but she had no other choice,” O’Brien said. “She won’t eat at my house. She won’t go out
with us. . It’s put a hardship on our relationship.” O’Brien said the children, Jazmen LopezO’Brien, 8, Jazlyn Huerta O’Brien, 5, and Jaylen O’Brien, 4, also are affected by the changes. Their grandmother has been caring for the oldest child for seven years and the younger two for three. “They regress to where they were when they were with her,” she said. “They go back to thumb sucking, baby talk. They completely go back because that’s where she left them.” When grandparents are raising grandchildren, there’s a larger generational gap. “They don’t understand how the school system works anymore, how to pay for school activities, how to communicate with teachers and administrators,” Fay said. The technology gap is also an issue, she said. “It’s difficult for an older generation to understand the importance of (the computer) or the workings of it.” she said. older Devin The becomes, the larger the generational gap, Marty said. Devin agreed. “I like hip-hop, rap and she likes
John Denver,” he said. “I can’t stand that. She likes the news, ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ and ‘Jeopardy.” I’m more into MTV and Comedy Central.” Although they have their differences, Marty beams when she talks about her grandson. “He doesn’t get into any trouble so I count my blessings,” she said. “He’s very bright. I would say his IQ is well above average.” Fuller said the most difficult aspect of taking on parenting again has been sacrificing her freedom. But she is a firm believer that family comes first. “I was raised that way,” she said. “You do what you have to do to get by. I just (have) always been there for my children and now my grandchildren. Thinking about the alternative keeps me working hard and raising the kids.” Donna said being able to see their character develop firsthand is reward enough. “Seeing their accomplishments, knowing that you are behind the goodness that is coming out of them despite everything that is going on,” she said. “The rewards far outweigh the bad.”

A century of swank Beverly Hills Hotel makes famous guests feel at home BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Stand on the Beverly Hills Hotel’s red carpet, leading into its chandeliered lobby, and you can’t help but visualize a century’s worth of celebrities, royalty, politicians, musicians and actors who have stayed there, from Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to Madonna, Reese Witherspoon and Katy Perry. The luxury hotel on Sunset Boulevard marks 100 years since it opened May 12, 1912, two years before the city of Beverly Hills itself was built around it. It remains one of the swankiest destinations in Southern California, home to Oscar and Grammy parties and star-filled lunches. Its breezy, old Hollywood air comes from an incomparable list of superstar guests that has ranged over the decades from Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant and Clark Gable, to John Lennon and Jack Nicholson, to the androgynously elegant Marlene Dietrich, who convinced the hotel’s Polo Lounge restaurant to change its “no slacks for women” dress code in the 1940s. In his new book “The Beverly Hills Hotel and Bungalows The First 100 Years,” Robert S. Anderson, the hotel’s official historian and great-grandson of its founder, tells the hotel’s story, from its beginnings amid acres of bean fields, to the present day, when celebs such as director Sofia Coppola think nothing of stopping by the coffee shop for a bite with friends. Anderson’s great-grandmother Margaret Anderson who managed a hotel on the site of what’s now the Hollywood & Highland Center, where the Academy Awards are held built the Beverly Hills Hotel for $500,000 with architect Elmer Grey. “Elmer Grey designed the hotel in such a way so that every room got sunlight in one point of the day or another,” said Robert S. Anderson during lunch in late April in the Polo Lounge, beneath its green-and-white striped patio ceiling. “An acre of land was set aside for the guests to grow vegetables and flowers while staying here, so they would feel at home. That acre of land now is probably worth $25 million.” Making its famous guests feel at home, and giving them privacy, has always been part of the hotel’s mission, beginning with silent film-era stars such as Chaplin and Buster Keaton, who shot movies at the hotel. The 1920s Hollywood power couple Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks met at the hotel, then renovated a palatial house above the property. Liz Taylor honeymooned in the hotel’s lavish bungalows with six of her husbands, including Richard Burton. Bungalow Five was one of their favorite hangouts. Reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes not only lived in the bungalows on and off for 30 years, but starting in 1942, he parked his Cadillac in front of the hotel for so long that plants started growing out of it. He also had hotel staff leave late-night meals, including roast beef sandwiches, in a nearby tree. Monroe stayed in bungalows 20 and 21 in 1960 while reportedly having an affair with her “Let’s Make Love” co-star Yves Montand. Lennon and Yoko Ono stayed in

bed for a week in another bungalow. “She was well-behaved, and he wasn’t,” said Anderson, laughing. “Lennon would sing loud, Irish songs. One night Prince was up here singing to some girl in a suite upstairs, in the ’80s. People yelled to him, ‘Knock it off!’” The hotel remains a place where celebrities can let down their hair, attracting the East Coast elite as well as Hollywood locals. But paparazzi, beware. “Stars felt safe here, as they do today,” said Anderson. “For example, even getting through the front door. If you’re wielding a heavy-duty camera, they ask you what the hell you’re doing.” Four stories high, surrounded by acres of gardens and flowers, the hotel evokes a lush Mediterranean fantasy island, decorated with banana leaves, palm fronds and fuchsia azaleas. In the 1940s,
African-American architect Paul Williams designed the hotel’s looping handwritten script logo and redesigned the Polo Lounge, which had previously been called El Jardin. Williams also designed the more casual Fountain Coffee Room below the lobby, which still has a curved dark counter and green banana leaf wallpaper. The hotel was nicknamed the “Pink Palace” after being painted a salmon hue in 1948 to reflect light shades of the sunset. Some things have changed, of course. Gone are stables for guests’ horses; the school, movie theater, billiard room and bowling alley that were once downstairs; and fox hunts that were staged in nearby barren hills. There have also been financial ups and downs. The Great Depression forced the hotel to close in 1933 and reopen 10 months later under the ownership
of Bank of America before being sold again later, according to Anderson’s book. The hotel was bought by the Brunei Investment Agency in 1987 and is now part of the agency’s Dorchester Collection of luxury hotel properties. In 1992, the hotel closed for a $100 million restoration, reopening in 1995. Today it has more than 200 rooms and suites, including 23 private bungalows big enough to accommodate staffs and families. Five bungalows date to 1915, while new presidential bungalows unveiled last year include outdoor rain showers. Rooms, decorated with peachy marble bathroom floors and green granite countertops, now run upwards of $500 a night. Cocktails at the Polo Lounge, 15 cents in 1944, now start at $17. But spotting A-listers at the hotel remains a regular occurrence.

Crew films injured officer, K-9 FOND DU LAC, Wis. (AP) — The slobber dripping from the tongue of Fond du Lac Police Department K-9 Grendel made students at Riverside Elementary yell “eww!” And when his handler, Officer Ryan Williams, asked students what language his partner understands, one child’s answer of “dog” made the room erupt in laughter. These were moments that a film crew from “Heroes Behind the Badge” hoped for. Director Wayne Derrick and executive producer Bill Erfurth were in Fond du Lac recently to interview Williams about his experience on March 20, 20111, when he was shot twice while investigating a reported sexual assault at a home on South Lincoln Avenue. Officer Craig Birkholz was shot and killed while responding to the report of an officer down. K-9 Grendel was hit by a bullet while waiting for his owner inside a squad car. “The film can get very heavy and dark,” Derrick said of the documentary that focuses on fallen officers and those who survive. “(Riverside Elementary) is a really important scene. It is a positive and happy scene.” Williams held a demonstration with Grendel at Riverside after they recovered from their gunshot wounds and returned to see the slightly older smiles of children drawn to the charismatic officer. Principal Tim Schipper told the students that he was “jacked” to welcome Williams back to Riverside. Children sang and Williams showed off some on the Hungarian commands Grendel responds to. Derrick, who twice has won the British equivalent of an Academy Award, said he hopes the documentary helps viewers better understand the dangerous situations officers face. “People have been very supportive of the injured soldiers that come back from Iraq and Afghanistan,” Derrick said. “After Sept. 11, there is a great concern for firefighters and the sacrifices they
make. People can sometimes have a complicated relationship with police because they give them tickets.” Executive producer Erfurth, a former MiamiDade Police Department officer, said the Fond du Lac police shooting stuck out from the many cases the film crew reviewed. “There were so many amazing, courageous stories from across the country we had to choose from,” he said. “. This was a unique story because you had an officer survive something that many other people would have not survived. His K-9 survived. Not only that, but they were able to come back and work full time.” Fond du Lac is far different that the metropolitan departments featured in the film, Erfurth said. “There is truly a sense of community here. This is small town, middle America,” he said. “All of the other stories we have done are nothing in comparison in regards to the support of the Police Department, support from the business community and the support from the school children. That sense of support is rare in America these days.” Williams was a beacon of hope for officers dealing with the death of Birkholz. He has become a recognizable face of the department and has been asked to speak at numerous events. “After the incident, I just wanted to raise money for ballistic tactical vests for everyone in the department,” Williams said. “That was driving force. Then I wanted to get back on duty to prove to other officers in the same situation that they can overcome the injuries. I had a lot of motivational factors.” He will take any chance he can to be someone’s inspiration, Williams said. “If you can inspire someone, how cool is that?” he said. “It keeps me going and driving to move on.” The film is about half complete, Erfurth said. While there is a plan to release it on DVD, the film crew is pitching the documentary to cable stations in America and overseas.
originality, there’s the character of Pee-wee Herman himself, Paul Reubens’ oddball man-child with the nasal voice and the tootight gray suit who goes on a cross-country quest to find his beloved, stolen bike. He’s so innocent and guileless, you’re more likely to want to protect him than think he’s creepy. And admit it: This is how you learned that there’s no basement at the Alamo. • “Beetlejuice” (1988): The ultimate crystallization of Burton’s signature style. The comic-horror tone he sets here provides the basis for comparison to everything else that followed. This movie is such a trip and such a blast. Michael Keaton (who would go on to be Burton’s Batman) does some of the best work of his career here as the crass, wisecracking spirit who helps the newly deceased Geena Davis and Alec Baldwin
haunt their own home. The effects look a little cheesy in retrospect but the subversive sense of humor remains firmly intact. “Beetlejuice” makes the macabre seem downright adorable. • “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride” (2005): One of only a handful of animated films Burton’s made over his threedecade career although a feature-length version of “Frankenweenie” is due out this fall this is one of the best examples of the emotions of Burton’s films matching the visuals. Combining painstaking stopmotion animation with digital technology, he’s come up with a film that’s wondrous, strange and poignant. Yes, it does look a lot like “Edward Scissorhands” and “Beetlejuice,” and it features an all-star voice cast led by Burton regulars Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, but this
medium brings these familiar details beautifully to life. Even creatures that are disgusting in reality are cute and sort of charming here. • “Big Fish” (2003): “If Fellini had directed ‘Forrest Gump.’” That’s how I described this movie when I reviewed it. Looking back, it seems like even more of a departure for Burton in that it’s light and dreamlike, even hopeful. But as a fantastical tale, it absolutely makes sense within his oeuvre. He gets a little too carried away with the quirkiness of his characters, but his film is consistently dazzling, with some individual images that will take your breath away. And it features an excellent cast led by Ewan McGregor, Albert Finney, Jessica Lange and Alison Lohman. It’s time for Burton to take more chances like this again.
FILM REVIEW

In this film image released by Warner Bros., Gully McGrath portrays David Collins, left, and Johnny Depp portrays Barnabas Collins in a scene from “Dark Shadows.”
‘Dark Shadows’ favors visuals over story BY CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Film Reviewer Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are snuggled warmly in their comfort zone in the chilly horror-comedy “Dark Shadows,” their eighth collaboration as director and star, respectively, and their weakest by far. You don’t need to know a thing about the late-’60s “Dark Shadows” TV series that provides the inspiration. Tonally, thematically, visually, you’ve seen this movie before, with its oddball characters, skies in varying shades of gray and a foreboding sense of gothic mystery. No one gets challenged here; no one gets pushed. It’s actually a wonder that Depp hasn’t played a vampire before; still, his long-undead Barnabas Collins, who’s been buried alive for nearly two centuries and suddenly finds himself back in his insular Maine hometown in 1972, fits squarely within his well-honed on-screen persona. He thinks he’s quite the charmer, but he’s actually a bit awkward, and that contradiction provides the main source of humor.
Or at least, it’s supposed to. The script from Seth Grahame-Smith (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) allows its family full of weirdos to shine intermittently but they rarely interact with each other; each functions in his or her own self-consciously quirky bubble. Too often, “Dark Shadows” is crammed with hacky, obvious, fish-out-of-water gags, as Barnabas tries to make sense of this strange new world. He struggles to understand modern romance as he courts the family’s delicate, wideeyed nanny and hopes to fit in by smoking pot with the local hippies. And how is this tiny Karen Carpenter person singing to him from inside the television set? Ho ho! At the same time, “Dark Shadows” feels too languid, bogged down as it is with an obsessive eye for period costumes (the work of Colleen Atwood) and interior details rather than offering anything resembling an engaging story. And by the time Burton finally puts his patented flair for visual effects to its best use, in a
climactic showdown between Barnabas and the witch who cursed him (the va-va-voomy Eva Green), it’s too late. A little background here: As a child, Barnabas and his wealthy family sailed from England in 1750 and founded the fishing village of Collinsport in coastal Maine. They spent 15 years building the grand Collinwood Manor, where a maid named Angelique (Green) loved Barnabas passionately, but he never returned her affections. Because she felt scorned and happened to be a witch she turned him into a vampire, chained him up and stuck him in a coffin in the ground. Nearly 200 years later, a construction crew unearths him and sets him free. When he stumbles back to his once-stately home, he finds it falling apart, along with the fishing empire that has been conquered by a competitor named Angel (Green, again). The few family members who remain are random and reclusive: matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer), the only one who

knows his true identity; her weasel of a brother, Roger (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teen daughter, Carolyn (Chloe Grace Moretz); and Roger’s 10year-old son David (Gully McGrath), who sees dead people. There’s also David’s perpetually drunk psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Burton regular Helena Bonham Carter); the home’s beleaguered caretaker, Willie (Jackie Earle Haley); and the new governess, Victoria (Bella Heathcote), who bears a striking resemblance to Barnabas’ long-ago love and has a few secrets of her own. That’s a lot of exposition, huh? And the film itself takes awhile to get going as it establishes all those characters and back stories. Once there, it seems to have nowhere to go out of the shadows or into the light, it doesn’t really matter either way. “Dark Shadows,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking. Running time: 116 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

Bio details revolution in appoach to food BY JERRY HARKAVY AP Book Reviewer “The Man Who Changed the Way We Eat: Craig Claiborne and the American Food Renaissance” (Free Press), by Thomas McNamee: Many of us can no longer remember what life was like before arugula and balsamic vinegar became part of the larder, celebrity chefs strutted their stuff on TV and the term “foodie” made its way into common parlance. But that was the state of the culinary scene little more than a half-century ago when the writer who was to become arguably the most influential restaurant critic of our time landed his dream job by being named food editor of The New York Times. “What Craig Claiborne saw when he looked out across the vast expanse of the United States was a gastronomic landscape blighted by ignorance and apathy, a drearily insular domain of overdone roast beef and canned green beans,” Thomas McNamee writes in “The Man Who Changed the Way We Eat: Craig Claiborne and the American Food Renaissance,” his comprehensive biography of this towering figure whose public success masked a troubled life. Claiborne reshaped the world of food criticism, taking it from advertiserfriendly puff pieces displayed on what were then known as the newspaper’s women’s page to a respected genre whose work reflected the same rigor and gravity as that of the Times’ drama, music and art critics. He guided a generation of readers from TV dinners, Reddi-wip and Cheez Whiz to classic French cuisine, Szechwan cooking from China and Mexican dishes that went beyond tacos and tortillas. “Julia Child was beloved, but Craig Claiborne was the authority,” says McNamee. The author recounts Claiborne’s unhappy childhood in the Mississippi Delta, where he grew up in genteel poverty, was bullied by schoolmates and found refuge in the kitchen of his mother’s boarding house. After studying journalism in college, he joined the Navy during World War II and was introduced to exotic cuisine and gay sex during a stint in Casablanca. Claiborne joined the Times after training in classic French cuisine and service at a prestigious hotel school in Switzerland and writing for Gourmet magazine. His prodigious output went beyond his newspaper columns and reviews, encompassing a string of best-selling cookbooks. Despite his success and many honors, Claiborne’s life appears to have brought only superficial joy.

desserts are almost pure profit, and no bottle of wine costs more than $5 to make. Bastianich also tells some interesting stories, particularly for diners who know the New York City restaurants he and Batali opened, including Babbo, Del Posto and Esca. He talks about spilling a drop of wine on the pope during a visit to New York in 2008 and former President Bill Clinton, who would “stop traffic” when he got up to use the restroom. Mostly, however, Bastianich’s stories make
him sound like a jerk. He says Mexicans are the hardest-working restaurant employees but Ecuadorians and Peruvians generally have “more culinary aptitude.” He once stole flowers from a church cemetery to bring to a legendary chef of Roman cuisine. He claims that if you tell him what restaurants you frequent, he has a good idea of how much money you make. Readers also have to wade through some scoresettling. Bastianich has less than nice things to say about one wine
importer, a genius gelato maker and people in the fashion business. He trashes a critic who gave one of his restaurants a bad review, calling the man a “puffed-up real-estate columnist who moonlights as a restaurant critic.” Of course, diners don’t care if Bastianich is a jerk as long as he delivers delicious food. And the starred reviews of his restaurants prove he does. But his memoir is different. It has a sour edge, a distinct bitterness, and readers may not have the appetite for that.
Dietrich’s hero Ethan Gage returns in ‘Emerald Storm’ BY JEFF AYERS AP Book Reviewer
Gage is married with a young son. He’s tired of the adventurous life work“The Emerald Storm: ing for Napoleon an Ethan Gage Bonaparte and wants to Adventure” (Harper), retire in luxury. He has by William Dietrich: recently stumbled on a William Dietrich brings rare emerald worth a forback his hero, Ethan tune, but when he tries to Gage, in an early 19thsell it, trouble ensues. A century swashbuckling corrupt police commissionadventure, “The Emerald er believes the emerald is part of a larger treasure, Storm.”
so he kidnaps Gage’s son to compel Gage to find the remaining hoard. When Gage and his wife arrive in Haiti to start their search for both their son and the riches, they soon learn that others are looking for the lost treasure of Montezuma. The British want it to fund a slave revolt; the French want the money to
assist in funding the war with Britain. Can they rescue their son and keep their enemies at bay? Dietrich seamlessly blends historical fact with fiction. A historical note at the end of the novel reveals the real people that Gage meets. It’s fun to see him interact with so many familiar men and women throughout history.
Dietrich also has a knack for making the world of 1803 come alive. The novel starts slowly but persistence pays off in a grand way. Newcomers will have reminders from Gage himself about previous adventures because he likes to brag. Readers will see an obvious direction for the next Gage adventure.

‘Crab’ chips, fruity Oreos? They’re big sellers overseas NEW YORK (AP) — Russians prefer their Lay’s potato chips dusted in caviar and crab flavors. The Chinese like their Oreos stuffed with mango and orange cream. And in Spain, Kellogg’s All-Bran cereal is served floating in hot coffee instead of cold milk. Americans might get squeamish at the thought of their favorite snacks being tweaked. But what works in the U.S. doesn’t always work everywhere. In other words, Lee Linthicum, a market researcher, says: “It can’t be some generic mix of spices that might fool an American.� Food makers long have tinkered with their products to appeal to regional tastes, but getting the recipe just right is becoming more important than ever. That’s partly because people in developing nations such as China and India are gaining more of an appetite for American-style “on-the-go� foods as they work longer hours and have less time to cook. But it’s mostly because snack makers increasingly are looking for growth in other parts of the world as sales slow at home. Growth in the snack food industry has been virtually flat in the U.S. for the past two years, according to market research firm Euromonitor. Meanwhile, combined sales in China, Brazil and Russia three major developing markets rose 15 percent in 2010 and 11 percent last year to $17 billion. That’s half the size of the U.S. market but it’s growing. The challenge for snack makers is that people in other countries have different tastes. Consider the Oreo, which Kraft Food Inc. introduced in China in 1996. Sales of the vanilla creamfilled chocolate cookie sandwich were respectable there, but the Chinese didn’t completely take to it. So Kraft decided to tweak the Oreo. But executives of the Northfield, Ill.-based company knew that they had to proceed with caution. “When you have a brand that’s 100 years old, you don’t mess with the recipe thoughtlessly,� says Lorna Davis, head of the company’s global biscuit and cookies

This March 14, 2012, photo shows packages of Nabisco Oreo’s and wafers in New York. While Americans might get squeamish at the thought of their favorite snacks being tweaked, what works in the U.S. doesn’t work everywhere. business. In 2006, Kraft began offering the Oreo as a wafer, a popular cookie throughout Asia. It is made up of cream sandwiched between crispy wafers. The plan was to help familiarize more Chinese customers with the brand. Three years later, the company decided to go a step further. Kraft worked with a panel of consumer taste experts from around the world to identify the characteristics of the Oreo including color, crunchiness, bitterness, color that were likely to appeal to Chinese tastes. Executives learned through research that the Chinese don’t like their treats as big or as sweet as Americans do. So the company rejiggered the recipe to create a cookie that was a tad smaller and a touch less sweet. To test the new recipe, hundreds of Chinese consumers tasted the new Oreo. It was a hit. “It made us realize the smallest of details make a big difference,� Davis says. But the company wasn’t finished. After noticing sales of Oreos were lagging in China during the summer, Kraft added a green tea ice cream flavor. The cookie combined a popular local flavor with the cooling imagery of ice cream. The green tea version sold well, and a year later, Kraft rolled out Oreos in flavors that are popular in Asians desserts raspberryand-blueberry and mango-

Over the past five years, Kraft said sales have grown an average of 60 percent a year, although it declined to give revenue amounts. The Oreo now is the top-selling cookie in China with a market share of 13 percent. The previous top cookie was a biscuit by a Chinese company. Kraft, which operates in more than 80 countries, is taking a similar approach with other snacks. In Saudi Arabia, Kraft offers its Tang powder drink in a lemonpepper flavor. In Mexico, it comes in tropical fruit flavors like tamarind and mandarin, and a hibiscus version fashioned after the flower. Sales have nearly doubled to $1 billion worldwide since Kraft rolled out the localized versions in 2006. Kraft’s ability to adapt to
local tastes is increasingly important as it looks for growth overseas. The rise in international revenue at Kraft was more than double the increase in North America last year. Kraft also plans to split into two separate units by the end of the year. The largest will be a global snacks company called Mondelez International, pronounced “mohn-dahleez,� to sell its Trident gum and Cadbury chocolates in fast-growing countries worldwide. Kellogg Co., the world’s largest cereal maker, also has intensified its focus on catering to local tastes as it attempts to grow its snack business overseas. Last year, the company’s revenue in Latin America topped $1 billion for the first time. And in February, Kellogg said it agreed to buy Pringles chip brand from Procter & Gamble for $2.7 billion. The deal will nearly triple its international snack business, making it the world’s second-largest snack maker behind PepsiCo Inc. The company, based in Battle Creek, Mich., already sells products in more than 180 countries. It’s learning that on-the-ground insights can pay off. In Europe, for instance, Kellogg for many years had marketed its cereals there just as it did in the U.S. But it failed to take into account that many in the region don’t drink cold milk in the morning..

NEW YORK (AP) — Chocolate dog food. Old garden hose. Weirdly fishy. Take a panel of seven foodies and ply them with with exotic versions of popular American snacks from around the world, and these are the reactions you get. Tentative nibbles and scrunched noses. The taste testers gathered recently at the headquarters of The Associated Press in New York and represented varying levels of culinary pedigree. They included food bloggers, famed French pastry chef Jacques Torres and Marilyn Haggerty, an 85year-old North Dakota newspaper columnist whose high praise of the Olive Garden went viral earlier this year. A New York fourth-grader and self-proclaimed junk food aficionado rounded out the group. The spread of international snacks didn’t consist of any barbecue-flavored Lay’s chips or black-andwhite Oreo cookies. Instead, the menu included “Forest Mushroom� and “Grilled Meat� Lay’s from Russia, fruity Oreos from China and lemon-peppered flavored Tang drink from Saudi Arabia. The reactions were mixed. Haggerty, who says she never met a potato chip she didn’t like, struggled to find something nice to say about the Lay’s from Russia.

Marilyn Hagerty samples a Lays potato chip during an interview with The Associated Press in New York March 14. She thought that the “Pickled Cucumber� chips tasted like an “old garden hose.� Her verdict on the “Red Caviar� chips was a tad more positive. “If I didn’t have anything else I’d like these,� Haggerty said, noting a weirdly fishy after taste. She took several more bites just to make sure. Meanwhile, Alyssa Shelasky, a New York magazine food blogger, declared the “Crab� chips to be “food poisoning.� Pastry king Torres gave his seal of approval to the “Forest Mushroom� chips, which got the best reviews overall. “It actually smells like mushroom and it tastes a little bit like mushroom,� Torres said. “It’s surprising.�
Torres also noted that flavors like “Grilled Meat� and “Red Caviar� were cooked up specifically for Russians, whose tastes differ dramatically from Americans. So to better gauge the authenticity, he suggested that the AP provide real caviar the next time around for comparison’s sake. As for the sweeter treats, everyone thought the chocolate, cream-filled Cheetos from Russia would do well with kids around the globe. The chocolate-smeared mouth of fourth-grader Bob Marley Jones showed that he agreed. So did Jeff Novich, a 32year-old junk food lover whose culinary resume includes acting as a body double for TV chef Bobby Flay. Novich thought that the chocolate Cheetos tasted like Cookie Crisp cereal. But Shelasky, the magazine blogger, thought they could pass for doggie treats. Most of the fruit-flavored Oreos from Asia were a bit too bizarre for the taste testers. Clay Williams, who writes for the blog MidtownLunch.com, said flavors such as “RaspberryBlueberry� and “MangoOrange� came across as too fake and processed. “People who love Oreos want the purity of an Oreo,� Shelasky agreed.

MORTGAGE WATCH
Rate on 30-year mortgage hits record 3.83 percent WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates for 30-year and 15-year fixed mortgages fell to fresh record lows this week. Cheap mortgage rates have made home-buying and refinancing more affordable than ever for those who can qualify. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan ticked down to 3.83 percent. That’s the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. And it’s below the previous record rate of 3.84 percent reached last week. The 15-year mortgage, a popular option for refinancing, dropped to 3.05 percent, also a record. That’s down from last week’s previous record of 3.07 percent. Low mortgage rates haven’t done much to boost home sales. Rates have been below 4 percent for all but one week since early December. Yet sales of both previously occupied homes and new homes fell in March. There have been some positive signs in recent months. January and February made up the best winter for sales of previously occupied homes in five years. And builders are laying plans to construct more homes in 2012 than at any other point in past 3 1/2 years. That suggests some see the housing market slowly starting to turn around. Still, many would-be buyers can’t qualify for loans or afford higher down payments required by banks. Home prices in many cities continue to fall. That has made those who can afford to buy uneasy about entering the market. And for those who are willing to brave the troubled market, many have already taken advantage of lower rates mortgage rates have been below 5 percent for more than a year now. Mortgage rates are lower because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. Slower U.S. job growth and uncertainty about how Europe will resolve its debt crisis have led investors to buy more Treasurys, which are considered safe investments. As demand for Treasurys increases, the yield falls. To calculate the average rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. The average rage does not include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for 30-year loans was 0.7 last week, down from 0.8 the previous week. The fee on 15-year loans also was 0.7, unchanged from the previous week. The average on one-year adjustable rate was 2.73 percent last week, down from 2.7 percent the previous week.

Consumer watchdog weighs limits to mortgage fees WASHINGTON (AP) — The government’s consumerfinance watchdog is weighing an overhaul of the fees consumers pay to obtain mortgages. Regulators might ban origination fees that vary with the size of the loan, known as “origination points.” They also might limit the use of “discount points” that are supposed to result in lower interest rates, the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau said late Wednesday. The changes would help consumers understand the fees they are paying and guarantee that the fees provide any promised discounts. “Mortgages today often come with so many different types of fees and points that it can be hard for consumers to compare offers,” CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement. “We want to
bring greater transparency to the market so consumers can clearly see their options and choose the loan that is right for them.” Banning origination points would discourage lenders from pushing consumers to take out bigger loans merely to generate higher fees. Flat origination fees still would be allowed. Consumers pay discount points when a loan is offered,
supposedly in exchange for a lower rate on the mortgage. The points can benefit consumers by allowing them to reduce their monthly loan payments, the CFPB said. However, some mortgage companies have included discount points in every loan they offer. When that happens, the points amount to an extra fee. The CFPB wants to make sure the points result in an actual discount.

Eight things to know
Dian Hymer For the Miami Valley Sunday News around California’s Silicon Valley defy the norm. Significant job growth in the area combined with a low inventory of good homes for sale has resulted in multiple offers with buyers bidding the price up sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars over the asking price. In other high-demand, lowinventory areas, you may find yourself bidding against other buyers, perhaps even more than once.

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