Final words from missing jet came after systems shutdown

BY CHRIS BRUMMITT, Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia When someone at the controls calmly said the last words heard from the missing Malaysian jetliner, one of the Boeing 777s communications systems had already been disabled, authorities said Sunday, adding to suspicions that one or both of the pilots were involved in the disappearance of the flight. Investigators also examined a flight simulator confiscated from the home of one of the pilots and dug through the background of all 239 people on board, as well as the ground crew that serviced the plane. The Malaysia Airlines jet took off from Kuala Lumpur in the wee hours of March 8, headed to Beijing. On Saturday, the Malaysian government announced findings that strongly suggested the plane was deliberately diverted and may have flown as far north as Central Asia or south into the vast reaches of the Indian Ocean. Authorities have said someone on board the plane first disabled one of its communications systems the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System, or ACARS about 40 minutes after takeoff. The ACARS equipment sends information about the jets engines and other data to the airline. Around 14 minutes later, the transponder that identifies the plane to commercial radar systems was also shut down. The fact that both systems went dark separately offered strong evidence that the planes disappearance was deliberate. On Sunday, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference that that the final, reassuring words from the cockpit All right, good night were spoken to air traffic controllers after the ACARS system was shut off. Whoever spoke did not mention any trouble on board. Air force Maj. Gen. Affendi Buang told reporters he did not know whether it was the pilot or co-pilot who spoke to air traffic controllers.

Frozen pipes lead winter-related insurance claims

BY STEPHANIE GROVES Staff Writer sgroves@delphosherald.com 2 3 4 5 6-7 8 9 10 DELPHOS The unyielding winter weather has taken a toll on every facet of our lives; from stressful driving conditions to the potholes in the roadways to the disastrous outcomes of frozen water pipes, the weather weary just want to put winter behind them. Unfortunately, thats not so easy for households who have or are still experiencing the effects of winter-weather damage to their homes. Gilden Insurance owner Jerry Gilden said he has seen an increase in claims due to bursting water pipes this winter. We have had a dramatic increase in these types of claims as compared to the few previous years, Gilden said. Owner of Schmit, Massa and Lloyd Insurance and principal agent Bill Massa said with weather like this, it is commonplace to see exposed plumbing cause pipes to burst, especially with the zero and sub-zero weather the area experienced in February. Gilden said claims of snow collapses have not been a big problem since up until the last storm which was a wet and heavy snow most of the accumulations have been lighter in weight. Any structures that were marginal or could sustain damage probably took a hit back in June of 2012, Gilden reasoned. The wind probably took care of them back then. Massa reported his office has not seen any issues with damage to roofs from the weight of snow or ice this winter. He said as a preventative maintenance measure, many folks shovel it off to be safe. The weight of heavy snows on older roofs can cause structural impairment and damage joists,

Massa detailed. In such cases, homeowners will see water appear on their ceiling. Karen Dickman of Dickman Insurance said over all, the industry was hit pretty hard with frozen pipe claims and this winter, her office has handled a few broken/ burst water pipe claims. In addition, one individual called about water backing into the house from the gutters. They sustained minor damage to a ceiling in their living room, she said. It did not amount to enough to file a claim. See CLAIMS, page 10

BRIEFS
Proposed regulations for hunters near vote
COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio wildlife officials have made changes to proposed hunting regulations after weeks of weighing public comments and reviewing data. The Department of Natural Resources says its Division of Wildlifes amended proposal says that hunters can load shotguns and pistol-cartridge rifles with no more than three shells in the magazine and chamber combined when hunting white-tailed deer. The current hunting regulation states a shotgun must be plugged if it is capable of holding more than three shells. The divisions initial proposal required a magazine plug or inert ammunition to limit capacity for pistol cartridge rifles. The 2014-15 hunting regulations presented to the council also called for new deer bag limits in many counties. The Ohio Wildlife Council will vote April 9 on the proposed policies.

Dairy industry wants European-named cheeses

Portman says 11 Ohio cheese-makers would be affected by the change. Americas dairy farmers and producers work hard to develop a product and brand that resonates with their customers, Portman said in a statement. If the EU succeeds in establishing trade guidelines that would restrict branding, it could hurt product sales and jobs here in Ohio. Ohio is the nations 10th largest cheese producer, according to the latest available figures from the U.S. Agriculture Department. The state produced 198.9 million pounds of cheese in 2012. The state has for years been the top-ranked U.S. producer of Swiss cheese, which doesnt appear affected by the EU proposal. Ohio Swiss cheese accounted for 43 percent of domestic production in 2012, according to the USDA. Many Ohio cheese producers have made their cheeses for generations, some after emigrating from Europe. Some smaller cheese producers say its the large operators who are most concerned. Jean MacKenzie, outgoing president of the year-old Ohio Cheese Guild, renamed a bucheron goats milk cheese three years ago rather than fight a U.S. licensee of the name. Well just call it Baby Buche and a Bucheron-style cheese, said Mackenzie, owner of Mackenzie Creamery in Hiram. Neville McNaughton, an artisanal cheesemaker consultant with CheezSorce in St. Louis, said giving fanciful names to cheeses can be a way to attract customers while honoring the products origins. Im a New Zealander, and we cant use the word feta? McNaughton asked. We embrace global values because its about respect.

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohio cheese producers are pushing back against an EU proposal to limit the use of European names such as Parmesan, feta and Gorgonzola on Americanmade cheeses. The Ohio Dairy Producers Association, which represents Ohios $1 billion dairy industry, believes stripping the names from its products could hit the industry hard, The Columbus Dispatch reports. The deepest impact would be the inability for our companies to use those brand names and market them overseas, in the U.S. or locally, said CEO Scott Higgins. We just cant stand to take that risk. The EUs argument is that American-made cheeses pale compared to the originals and cut into sales and identity of authentic European varieties. The law it seeks to enforce is aimed at protecting the reputation of regional foods and helping farmers maintain value, the newspaper reports. It would apply to a host of common cheese names, including Asiago, Cheddar, Camembert, Edam, Provolone, Ricotta, Roquefort and Stilton, as well as to certain meat products, wines including Champagne, spirits and aromatized drinks such as Sangria. Angel King, co-owner of Blue Jacket Dairy near Bellefontaine in Logan County, said, While I respect the desire of the EU to protect the names of (its) cheeses were talking about Democrat for governor a type of cheese whose name is commonly says wife works 2 jobs used.

COLUMBUS (AP) The seasons severe weather has resulted in overtime totaling more than $4.6 million for state transportation workers. A Columbus Dispatch computer analysis of state payroll data released Friday found that overtime at the Ohio Department of Transportation accounted for most of a 6-percent jump statewide in overtime payments at state agencies other than universities last year. Payments were up more than 50 percent over

Man gives alias of slain friend to police

to indicate his death, the newspaper reported. Redington, 28, was jailed Thursday in Summit County in an earlier drug case in which his bond had been revoked for failing to appear for a hearing, court records show. His attorney in that case, Annette Powers, told The Associated Press on Friday that she hadnt spoken with him and couldnt comment on that or any charges related to the alleged impersonation. Barberton Municipal Court records show Redington has been charged with forgery and tampering with records. Police say he was stopped twice recently for traffic violations, on Feb. 7 and March 4. He apparently had memorized Gardners birthdate and Social Security number, sheriffs Inspector Bill Holland said. Gardners parents say Redingtons alleged actions reopened old wounds. Its a horrible thing to do, especially when he was there and saw it happen, Jeffrey Gardner Sr. said.

States earthquake average since 2010 has risen

2012. Spokesman Steve Faulkner said the extra hours were primarily for highway crews tackling harsh weather that began in mid-October. He said crews often worked 12-hour shifts. Other notable overtime increases occurred at the Department of Developmental Disabilities and at Attorney General Mike DeWines office. In all, the state payroll decreased by about 1 percent last year, after a nearly 3 percent drop in 2012.

COLUMBUS (AP) A newspaper analysis finds that the average number of 2.0 magnitude and higher earthquakes occurring in Ohio each year has risen. The rise reported by The Columbus Dispatch coincides with an average increase in tremblors nationally and to an increase in oil-and-gas drilling and deep injection activity in eastern Ohio. Ohio Department of Natural Resources data reviewed by the newspaper showed Ohio averaged two earthquakes annually of 2.0 magnitude or greater between 1950 and 2009. Between 2010 and 2014, that average rose to nine.

Fetching Peabody & Sherman tops box office

LOS ANGELES (AP) Street racers couldnt catch a time-traveling dog and his son at the multiplex this weekend. Though Disneys Need for Speed was expected to take the No. 1 position at the box office, DreamWorks Mr. Peabody & Sherman took the lead, with the action film in third place. The animated movie, about the adventures of a genius dog and the human son he adopted, earned $21.2 million, according to studio estimates released Sunday. Debuting last weekend at No. 2, the 3-D kiddie-jaunt features voices from Modern Family stars Ty Burrell and Ariel Winter. Our midweek numbers were very strong, indicating good and positive word of mouth, said Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution at Twentieth Century Fox. If anything, this is exceeding (expectations). Its a combination of likable characters and its a nostalgia play for those who are familiar with the show. Mr. Peabody and Sherman first appeared in the 1950s and early 1960s on Peabodys Improbable History, a segment within the animated television series Rocky and His Friends and later The Bullwinkle Show. The family marketplace is giving every other genre a run for its money, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for boxoffice tracker Rentrak. But the St. Patricks Day effect could be at play here, where families had to exercise their options at the theater rather than the pub. That may have paid off for Mr. Peabody. Meanwhile, analysts predicted that Need for Speed, based on the popular EA Entertainment video game and starring Breaking Bad alum Aaron Paul, would come in at No. 1 this weekend. But with $17.8 million, it arrived at No. 3 in the U.S. But the movie raced to the top of the international box office, bringing in $45.6 million. Warner Bros. warrior drama 300: Rise of an Empire, the 3-D sequel to 2007s 300, dropped to second place, with $19.1 million, after debuting at No. 1 last weekend. Though its opening haul of $45.1 million pales in comparison to the original, which debuted with $70.9 million, Rise of an Empire has earned more than $78 million since its debut. Tyler Perrys The Single Moms Club, starring Nia Long and Amy Smart, opened with $8.3 million at No. 5. This is one of Tyler Perrys lowest debuts ever, but he cranks out hits every year for almost decade, Dergarabedian said. Hes allowed a couple of missteps every once in a while. Leading the years early trend of films about religion, Foxs Son of God grossed $5.4 million in its third weekend. After opening at No. 2 with $26.5 million, it dropped to No. 5 in its second week, earning $10 million. Its performance may indicate that religious stories arent holding up at box office. Plus Son of God, starring Diogo Morgado, lacks star power. However, other upcoming films with a biblical thread feature leading men who are more likely to get viewers to theaters. Noah, out March 28, stars Russell Crowe. And later this year, in the Ridley Scott-directed Exodus, well see Christian Bale as Moses. Playing in only 66 theaters, Wes Andersons Grand Budapest Hotel landed at No. 8 with $3.6 million. When it opened last weekend, the stylish comedy showed on just four screens in New York and Los Angeles. Still, it impressed with $200,000. Rounding out the top 10 is the Kristen Bell-starring cult-TV-showturned-feature Veronica Mars. Its $2 million debut was impressive considering the films funding came from a crowdsourcing campaign, the first high-profile project to do so. Also opening this weekend was Jason Batemans directorial debut Bad Words. Showing in only New York and Los Angeles, the comedy earned $120,000, one of the biggest per theater averages of the weekend, with $20,000 per movie house. Sci-fi action movie Divergent, based on the Veronica Roths young adult novel and starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet, stands to knock every other film a place or two down when it debuts next weekend. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Tuesday. 1. Mr. Peabody & Sherman, $21.2 million ($15.3 million international). 2. 300: Rise of an Empire, $19.1 million ($41.3 million international). 3. Need for Speed, $17.8 million ($45.6 million international). 4. Non-Stop, $10.6 million ($12.5 million international). 5. The Single Moms Club, $8.3 million. 6. The Lego Movie, $7.7 million ($4.7 million international). 7. Son of God, $5.4 million. 8. The Grand Budapest Hotel, $3.6 million ($6.7 million international). 9. Frozen, $2.1 million ($10.4 million international). 10. Veronica Mars, $2 million. Estimated weekend ticket sales Friday through Sunday at international theaters (excluding the U.S. and Canada) for films distributed overseas by Hollywood studios, according to Rentrak: 1. Need for Speed, $45.6 million. 2. 300: Rise of an Empire, $41.3 million. 3. Mr. Peabody & Sherman, $15.3 million. 4. Non-Stop, $12.5 million. 5. Frozen, $10.4 million. 6. The Monuments Men, $8.2 million. 7. The Grand Budapest Hotel, $6.7 million. 8. 12 Years a Slave, $5.9 million. 9. RoboCop, $5.5 million. 10. The Lego Movie, $4.7 million.

2 Hollywood starlets to take over Cincy restaurant

CINCINNATI (AP) Two of Hollywoods hottest stars and the crew of the film theyre shooting soon will take over a Rat Pack-style steakhouse that has been a suburban Cincinnati institution since 1949. Cate Blanchett, fresh off an Oscar win for best actress, and Rooney Mara have been in the Cincinnati for more than a week to shoot Carol, a story of two women in 1950s New York who begin a romantic relationship. Mara, best known for her breakout and Oscarnominated role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, plays a department store clerk who dreams of a more fulfilling life. Blanchett, who just won an Oscar for her performance in Woody Allens Blue Jasmine, plays Carol, an alluring woman trapped in a loveless marriage. The two will be filming a romantic date at Maurys Tiny Cove in the Cincinnati suburb of Cheviot on April 1, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin. ci/1fwpv0d). Maurys owner Matt Huesman said the restaurant will be closed the entire day for shooting, which will take place in the steakhouses red room, filled with red and black vinyl booths, wood paneling and dim lighting. Maurys has been in the running for months to play a part in Carol. Members of the Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Film Commission scouted the place in October, and several upper echelon staffers from the films technical side paid a visit in January. The films crew members went nuts over the place, Huesman said as he stood by one of the restaurants booths. He said the crew focused on one particular booth, table 11, which is the first on the left of a small set of steps. Thats where Blanchett and Mara will sit. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be requesting table 11, Huesman said. They also may be asking for the Carol special. In the movies restaurant scene, both Blanchetts and Maras characters order the same thing: creamed spinach over poached eggs and dry martinis with olives. Huesman said Maurys was nearly going to be the site of a restaurant scene in the other major motion picture recently filmed in Cincinnati, the 2011 political drama Ides of March, starring George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. But Huesman said that films crew thought Maurys ceilings were too low. The crew of Carol clearly thinks otherwise. Also starring in Carol will be Sarah Paulson, who was in the Oscar-winning 12 Years a Slave and is known for TVs American Horror Story: Coven. She will play Carols best friend and one-time lover. Actor Kyle Chandler will play Carols husband, who threatens his wifes competence as a mother because of her previous affair with Paulsons character and new relationship with Maras. Chandler was the football coach in TVs Friday Night Lights and has played in a number of recent acclaimed films, including The Wolf of Wall Street, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty. No release date has been announced for Carol.

Ohio kids give up presents to help others in need

CLEVELAND (AP) Eleven-year-old Claire Hall of Cleveland Heights hasnt received a birthday gift since she was 4. No dolls, toy ponies, hair accessories, Wii games or any of the usual gift-giving stuff children are used to getting. Thats because every year instead of gifts, Claire asks family and friends to give her pet supplies: food, treats, toys and other items she can donate to the Cleveland Animal Protective League. Its a good feeling to do something good, said Claire, whose eight birthday parties have generated countless cans and bags of pet food, treat, toys and the like for the APL. As long as I have birthdays Im going to keep doing this. A growing number of nonprofits say they are being helped by pint-size philanthropists like Claire who are willing to give up their gifts from birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs and other celebrations to donate to a good cause. Natalie Leek-Nelson, president and CEO of Providence House in Cleveland, which works to end child abuse and neglect, said childrens celebrations that benefit Providence House used to be sporadic. Now theyre much more frequent. Now in any given year we have 10 to 15 children who do this, said Leek-Nelson. Children like 7-year-old Leilah Mizer of Brook Park, who last spring was riding in the car with her mom, Crystal Macfarlane when the two began talking about Leilahs September birthday, and what kind of birthday party the youngster wanted. She looked at me and said, Mom, I dont really need anything, recalls Macfarlane. For my party why dont we have people bring things that we can donate to someone. Leilah asked party-goers

to give to Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland. She was familiar with RMH because one of her teachers volunteered there. She was very adamant that nobody give her a gift, Mcfarlane said. The gifts that she got for herself she wouldnt keep. She gave them to Ronald McDonald House. Nonprofit representatives arent really sure why there seems to be a rise in the number of children acting out of kindness. It could be that once a child goes to a friends party where donations instead of gifts are given, the idea catches on and word spreads among peers. Or it could be the savespend-give method of handling money that more parents are teaching their children, Leek-Nelson said. That is, save some for yourself, spend what you need to and give to a cause that the child feels strongly about. Sharon Harvey, president and CEO of the Cleveland APL, said many contributionminded kids are influenced by contribution-minded parents. But not all of them. Sometimes these wonderful children dont need prompting, said Harvey, noting that children over the age of 9 can volunteer at the shelter with a parent. She feels like she has enough stuff, said Margaret Hall. She even gets mad at her friends if they give her presents. She feels bad for the dogs and cats that dont have a home. Robert Fischer, research associate professor and director of the masters degree program in nonprofit organizations at Case Western Reserve University, said he also sees parents emphasizing to children at an early age the idea of balancing giving with spending. Often parents have kids separate jars for spend, save and donate to reinforce these three venues versus everything going to spend, Fischer said.

Dont Drink the Water by Woody Allen

BY ANNA RUSSELL encounter eccentric characters such as priest/magician Father Drobney (played by Perry Luhn), the Sultan of Bashir (Charlie Diefenbacher) and Mr. Burns (played by Gene Craft). The family must figure out a way to return home to America without causing an international incident. All ends well as the family plans their escape and the two youngsters in the show even find time to fall in love. Directed by Chris Butturff with help from Assistant Director Jane Lianez, it is obvious that the quirky characters portrayed in the comedy were well cast. Newcomer Mac King takes the role of bumbling Axel Magee, son of the American Ambassador, and portrays his lovable character with physical comedy to a T. Lima Senior student Jenna Brunk plays the role of Susan Hollander, the Hollander familys adult daughter, with both innocence and maturity. Veteran actor Steve Lane as New Jersey caterer Walter Hollander provides additional comedic relief (I like my food dead. Not sick, not wounded, dead.), as does Monica Campbell, the inventive and easily offended embassy chef. Also up for an honorable mention is Doug Grooms as Krojack the Russian officer relentlessly pursuing the Hollanders. In the end, Dont Drink the Water is a hilarious and delightful situation comedy. A few lengthy set changes tended to bring down the timing of the production (which will hopefully accelerate) during the run of the show. Kudos must be given for the wellexecuted set design (Amy Boley, Jack Boley, Chris Hogan, and Chris Butturff), sound design (Burdette Bolenbaugh), and light design (Amy Boley). Dont Drink the Water runs Thursday through Sunday at Van Wert Civic Theatre. Performances start at 8 p.m. with the exception of the 2 p.m. Sunday matinee. For more information, visit www.vwct.org or call the box office at 419-238-9689. Van Wert Civic Theatre is located at 118 S. Race St., Van Wert.

Hot finishes dont mean much to committee

Associated Press The man in charge of the NCAA selection committee insists a win in November is worth the same as a win in March. Dont believe him? Check out the seeds slapped beside these conference champions: A 4 for Louisville of the American Athletic. A 4 for Michigan State of the Big Ten. Yet another 4 for UCLA of the Pac-12. A 7 for New Mexico of the Mountain West. Oh, and dont forget that 8 for Kentucky, which had the ball and a chance to beat Florida, the NCAA tournaments top overall seed, in the waning seconds of the SEC title game. Only Virginia, which wrapped up the ACC tournament Sunday to back up its regular-season title, seemed to get a significant bump from the conference tournaments that polish off resumes of teams before the start of Americas favorite office pool March Madness. Ron Wellman, chair of the NCAA selection committee, said the Cavaliers, considered a 2 or 3 on most mock-ups, continued to impress us throughout the year. Asked to explain the mediocre seed for a team like Louisville, the defending national champion that has won 12-of13 and rolled through the AAC tournament, Wellstone explained the committee looks at the entire resume, not just March. We look at the total body of work, everything they did from November to March, he replied. Every time we scrubbed that seed, Louisville ended at the same place every time when compared to the people above them. The people above them in the Midwest region, which shapes up as the toughest, include top-seeded and undefeated Wichita State, No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Duke. Yes, thats three of last years Final Four teams. The national semifinals are April 5 in Arlington, Texas. On the 1 line in the West was Arizona, which stayed there despite falling in the Pac-12 title game to UCLA. The Bruins are a 4, same as Michigan State and Louisville their fellow power-conference champions. They pass everyones eye test, Wellman said. Theyre playing as well right now as anyone in the country. If you look at the last three or four weeks, they probably wouldve been seeded differently. When you look at the entire season, then its a little bit different. Of course, the numbers are just that numbers. In an era of one-and-done, superstar coaches and unending parity, the real drama starts after the brackets are out. Thats why Warren Buffett had no problem paying the insurance premium against a $1 billion payoff for anyone who fills out a perfect bracket. Theres more good teams and less great teams, said coach Bill Self of second-seeded Kansas. The difference between a 2 seed and a 7 or 8 seed is as narrow as its ever been. The last four bubble teams in this years draw were 12th-seeded North Carolina State and Xavier, who play in the First Four on Tuesday, and 11thseeded Iowa and Tennessee, who play Wednesday. Left out of the tournament was SMU of the AAC a team almost all the experts had securely in the bracket. But not the folks in the conference room, who couldnt overcome the Mustangs strength of schedule: 129. When I saw Louisville, I kind of figured that they didnt have a lot of respect for our conference, said coach Larry Brown. But we only can blame ourselves, thats the way I look at it. The committee handed out only seven at-large bids to mid-majors after they took 11 in each of the last two seasons. The Big 12 led all conferences with seven teams, though winning the conference didnt move Iowa State past the 3 line. Other conference titles that didnt change much: St. Joes was the champion of the six-bid Atlantic-10 and got a 10 seed while the team the Hawks beat, VCU, was seeded fifth. Providence went from the bubble to Big East champion and was seeded 11th. Meanwhile, Kansas lost in the semifinals of the Big 12 but remained a 2 seed because of its ranking in the RPI No. 3. The Jayhawks have to get through the first weekend without center Joel Embiid, out with a back injury, but could face a third-round game against Mountain West champs New Mexico. Off the top of my head, I cant remember exactly what the conversation was about New Mexico, Wellman added. I can tell you the conversations about New Mexico were very positive. In the West, Arizonas second game could come against eighth-seeded Gonzaga, which lost its second game as a No. 1 seed last year, or No. 9 Oklahoma State, which has one of the nations best players in Marcus Smart. The nations top scorer, Doug McDermott (26.9 points per game), is on the other side of that bracket with No. 3 Creighton. On Virginias side of the East bracket is one team nobody wants to play come tournament time No. 4 Michigan State, which hadnt won back-to-back games since late January, but strung three together to win the nations second-toughest conference. You dont get many teams that are talented, have inside and outside, show toughness, are together, have great chemistry, coach Tom Izzo said. Ive said three times in my career that I thought we were good enough to get to a Final Four. I thought this team was next in line.

ATLANTA Top-ranked Florida capped a perfect run through the Southeastern Conference when Kentucky failed to get off a shot on its final possession, allowing the Gators to escape with a 61-60 victory in the league championship game Sunday. Florida (32-2) built a 16-point lead early in the second half but Kentucky nearly pulled off an improbable comeback to hand the Gators their first loss since early December. Two missed free throws gave the Wildcats (24-10) a final possession but James Young slipped trying to drive into the lane. The Gators extended their school-record winning streak to 26 games and was selected as the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Patric Young and Michael Frazier II led Florida with 14 points apiece, while Scottie Wilbekin and Casey Prather had 11 each. Kentucky was paced by Aaron Harrison with 16 points. Young added 13, while Willie Cauley-Stein had 10 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks. No. 6 VIRGINIA 72, No. 7 DUKE 63 GREENSBORO, N.C. Malcolm Brogdon scored 23 points and Virginia claimed its first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title since 1976. Tournament MVP Joe Harris added 15 points and hit the back-breaking 3-pointer with just under 2 minutes remaining for the top-seeded Cavaliers (28-6). They shot 45 percent, pestered the Blue Devils into 38 percent shooting and used a late 12-3 run to pull away and claim the second ACC tournament title in school history. Jabari Parker scored 23 points on 9-of-24 shooting for the third-seeded Blue Devils (26-8), who were making their 31st appearance in the championship game but were denied their ACC-record 20th title.

The third-seeded Spartans (26-8) have won four out of five. Top-seeded Michigan (25-8) was led by Big Ten player of the year Nik Stauskas with 17 points and Derrick Walton Jr. had 11 but the Big Ten regular season champs had their sevengame winning streak come to an end. Michigan State took control with an early 12-0 run, led 38-29 at halftime and opened the second half with an 8-0 spurt to make it 46-29. Michigan, who won the two regular season meetings, never got closer than 10 points again. SAINT JOSEPHS 65, No. 23 VCU 61 NEW YORK Langston Galloway scored 19 points and hit yet another huge 3-pointer and Saint Josephs won its first Atlantic 10 tournament title since 1997. The fourth-seeded Hawks (24-9) arrived in Brooklyn on the NCAA tournament bubble. They all but clinched an at-large berth with a win over fellow bubble team Dayton in Fridays quarterfinals on Galloways go-ahead 3, then made that moot by capturing the conferences automatic bid.

Fellow senior Ronald Roberts had 15 points on 6-of-6 shooting and 11 rebounds for Saint Josephs.

Halil Kanacevic of Saint Josephs won tournament MVP honors after another all-around performance. He had 11 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and two blocks.

Edwards leads Ford sweep at rain-soaked Bristol

Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. Carl Edwards claimed a rain-soaked win at Bristol Motor Speedway, where weather wreaked havoc on yet another Sprint Cup race. The rain caused two delays lasting more than five hours one that delayed the start Sunday by almost two hours and one that stopped the race for 3 hours, 18 minutes. But when the drivers got on the track, they raced fast and furious. Much like the season-opening Daytona 500, which was stopped by rain for almost six hours, the threat of more bad weather bringing a sudden halt to the race forced the drivers to go hard every single lap. So when a caution with 77 laps remaining sent most of the field to pit road, Edwards crew chief, Jimmy Fennig, made the call to leave his driver on the track. The move gave Edwards the lead on the restart with 70 laps remaining. He had no trouble pulling out to an easy lead and had victory in sight when the yellow caution lights came on with two laps remaining. No one was sure what the caution was for and Fennig even wondered if water damage might have inadvertently caused the lights to turn on. Then the sky suddenly opened and NASCAR had no choice but to declare the race over. NASCAR said after the race that the lights malfunction triggered the final caution and officials made it a full caution because operation of the lights was comprised. Edwards led Roush Fenway Racing teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. across the finish line. Aric Almirola from Richard Petty Motorsports was third as Ford drivers swept the top three spots one day after a Ford team won the Twelve Hours of Sebring sports car race for the first time since 1969. Tony Stewart salvaged a horrific start to the weekend he qualified 37th by finishing a season-best fourth. Marcos Ambrose was fifth as both of RPMs drivers finished inside the top five. Pole-sitter Denny Hamlin was sixth in the highest-finishing Toyota and was followed by Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jeff Gordon and Kasey Kahne. Brian Vickers was ninth and rookie Kyle Larson rounded out the top 10. The race was run in front of a sparse Bristol crowd as the weather forecast called for a 100 percent chance of rain. It wasnt wrong and the start was delayed nearly two hours, then drivers made it to Lap 124 before the race was stopped by rain again. The second stoppage pushed the race into evening and under the lights on the 0.533-mile bullring. There was plenty of action to keep those in attendance entertained, including a bizarre debris caution that caused what looked to be toilet paper to be strewn everywhere. Two other incidents occurred when Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson were each running in second place. Kenseth was the leader when the race resumed following the lengthy rain delay. He was passed by Kurt Busch but holding second and in traffic when caution came out because Danica Patrick spun Cole Whitt. Kenseth lightly ran into the back of Busch as he tried to slow down for the caution but he was drilled from behind by Timmy Hill, who came around the track at a considerably higher speed. I just got peeled straight from behind real hard, he calmly radioed his Joe Gibbs Racing crew. Kenseth had to pit for repairs and dropped to 24th 10 seconds behind the leader. Hill took responsibility for the accident. This place, things happen real quick, Hill said. I saw (Whitt) spin, by the time I got communication, it was too late. Everybody was checking up. I ran into the back (Kenseth). I had no

reaction time. Its on me, really. Kenseth recovered and was racing back with the leaders later in the race, only to hit the wall late. He finished 13th. Johnson was second before the rain delay when his tire came apart. He had to pit for repairs and dropped to 39th, two laps down from Kenseth. Crew chief Chad Knaus grumbled on the radio that the tire wasnt flat. The tread just fell off of it. Theres nothing wrong with it. The rest of the tire is great, Knaus radioed. He then sarcastically said he was certain the team would be blamed for the tire falling apart. Im sure its something we did. Im sure its our fault. Goodyear quickly responded via Twitter, posting that Johnsons team didnt change the right front tires on its first pit stop. Going 115-plus laps caused the right front tire to wear through, Goodyear said. Johnson wound up 19th. Joey Logano, who led 12 laps early, had his problems when he lost power steering. Hed raced his way past teammate Brad Keselowski, only to lose it on pit road during a competition caution early in the race. The power steering went shortly after and Logano dropped to 28th in the field before the caution for rain stopped the race at Lap 124. Id say 500 laps is going to be a lot longer than I thought it was going to be around here, Logano said during the rain delay, speculating about how difficult it will be to navigate around the bullring without power steering. I was already huffing and puffing pretty hard trying to get the thing to turn. You cant be quick with it. Thats the biggest problem, you cant go fast. Well just have to fix it. The good thing is were (124) laps into this thing and theres a long ways to go. The bad news is if we cant fix it, were only (124) laps into it. So, either way, weve got our work cut out for us today. Team Penske made repairs after the rain delay and Logano was 39th when he got back on the track.

Associated Press PALM HARBOR, Fla. John Senden ended more than seven years without a victory by making two late birdies, including a chip-in from 70 feet on the toughest hole at Innisbrook, for a 1-shot victory on a wild and windy Sunday at the Valspar Championship. Senden, two shots behind going into the final round, closed with a 1-under 70 for his first PGA Tour win since the 2006 John Deere Classic. The timing couldnt have been better. The victory sends the 42-year-old Australian to the Masters next month. Senden finished at 7-under 277. Kevin Na had a long birdie putt on the final hole that would have forced a playoff, but it never came close. He closed with a 72. It took what Senden called a magic shot to shake loose from a traffic jam along the back nine of the Copperhead course. The tournament was up for grabs over the final two hours, with nine players separated by three shots at one point, and Senden part

of a 3-way tie for the lead heading into the treacherous, three-hole closing stretch at Innisbrook known as the Snake Pit. He went birdie-birdie-par. After driving into the trees and playing short of the green on the 16th, Senden lofted a pitch with perfect pace and watched it tumble into the cup for one of only two birdies in the final round. Equipped with a one-shot lead, he followed that with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 17th. Equally important was the par on the 18th, which was just as difficult as the birdies. He needed two putts up a ridge and breaking slightly to the right before it went swiftly down the slope and breaking to the left. The 40-foot putt settled inches from the cup. TOSHIBA CLASSIC NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. Fred Couples won the Toshiba Classic for his 10th Champions Tour title,

birdieing the final two holes for a 1-stroke victory. The 54-year-old Couples shot a 5-under 66 to finish at 15-under 198 at Newport Beach Country Club. Also the 2010 winner, he made a 4-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th and holed another 4-footer on the par-5 18th. Colin Montgomerie, Bernhard Langer and Steve Pate tied for second. Langer had a chance to force a playoff but missed a 20-foot birdie try on 18 and settled for a 70. Montgomerie had a 62, the best round of the week, and Pate shot a 66. BRAZIL CHAMPIONS SAO PAULO Jon Curran completed a wire-towire victory in the Web.com Tours Brazil Champions, closing with a 2-under 69 to beat Alex Cejka by four strokes. Curran finished at 25-under 259 at Sao Paulo Golf Club and earned $144,000 for his first Web.com Tour title in only his fourth start. The 27-year-old former Vanderbilt player opened with a courserecord 61 and added rounds of 64 and 65.

Cejka, the winner of the season-opening Colombia Championship last month, also shot a 69. He earned $86,400 to push his total to $221,400, more than enough to wrap a spot next season on the PGA Tour. TROPHY HASSAN II AGADIR, Morocco Spains Alejandro Canizares won the Trophy Hassan II by five strokes, shooting a 2-under 70 to complete a wire-to-wire victory at Palais Royal. Canizares finished at 19-under 269 for his second European Tour victory. Englands Andy Sullivan was second after a 63. LALLA MERYEM CUP AGADIR, Morocco English teenager Charley Hull won the Ladies European Tours Lalla Meryem Cup for her first professional victory, beating Frances Gwladys Nocera with a birdie on the first extra hole. The 17-year-old Hull closed with a 9-under 62 at lOcean to match Nocera at 15-under 269. Nocera had a 3-putt bogey on the final hole of regulation for a 67.

Princeton (28-2) improved to 2-for-2 in the state tournament, also winning the title in its only other appearance in 1987. Mitchell scored 15 points in the first quarter and then became less of an offensive force as her team never trailed after she fueled a 9-2 start. She also had four rebounds and three assists and three steals. With Mitchell leading the way, Princeton led 19-13 after a quarter and maintained it for most of the way. Down as many as 14, Hoover (26-3) cut the lead to four with 17 seconds left. But then Mitchell was fouled on the inbounds pass and, of course, hit both shots to end the drama. DIVISION IV Reedsville Eastern was hanging on and Jenna Burdette knew she had to make a difference. She did more than that. She took over the game. Burdette scored 20 of her 24 points in the second half accounting for all but seven of her teams points over that span to carry top-ranked Eastern past No. 3 Zanesville Rosecrans 49-38 in the Division IV girls state title game on Saturday. Burdette, an Associated Press firstteam All-Ohioan and co-player of the year in the division, time and again made big shots and big plays as Eastern (27-1) got redemption for a semifinal

loss a year ago in the schools only previous appearance at the state tournament. Over the first 14:59 of the second half, Burdette scored 20 of the Eagles 22 points. She scored her teams first five points of the third quarter before teammate Jordan Parker hit a rebound follow at the 3:36 mark to cap a 7-0 run that swelled the lead to 29-16. Burdette then scored all of her teams points until Parker hit two foul shots with 1:01 remaining to push the lead to 46-38. None were bigger than four midway through the fourth quarter. The Bishops (27-2) pulled within 39-37 on a 3-pointer from the top of the key by Kloie Johnson at the 4:27 mark. Burdette then drove to the basket and was fouled, hitting both shots. After a Rosecrans miss, Burdette went to the hoop again, trying to draw a foul. Instead, in heavy traffic, she muscled her way through the paint and banked in a shot to make it 43-37. Burdette hit one more foul shot and then made way for her teammates. Parker, Katie Keller and Maddie Rigsby hit five of six free throws over the final 61 seconds to hold off the Bishops. Molly Nash had 15 points and 15 rebounds for the Bishops, who were shooting for their fourth state championship but first since 1992. DIVISION II Its hard to beat experience par-

ticularly experience in the brightest of spotlights. Millersburg West Holmes, one of the most historic girls basketball programs in Ohio, proved that again on Saturday at Value City Arena. Paiten Strother scored 18 points and Emily Molnar 15 to lead top-ranked West Holmes back from a poor start to a 62-45 victory over No. 2 Kettering Alter in the Division II girls state championship game. The Lady Knights made trips to the state each of the last three years, including losses in the final the last two. The title was the fourth for West Holmes (29-0) but first since its unapproached and unprecedented 108-game winning streak that included the three previous titles in 1984-86. Alter (29-1) led 7-0 almost 4 minutes into the game but behind Strother and Molnar, West Holmes scored 23 of the next 27 points and was never headed. Libby Bazelak had 16 points for Alter, which hadnt really been tested all season winning by at least 12 points in every game until a 50-47 win in the semis against Toledo Rogers. Alter started two freshmen, two sophomores and a junior. West Holmes first team Associated Press All-Ohioan and co-player of the year in the division Laina Snyder was held to just eight points only two through three quarters but did grab 11 rebounds.

Well, maybe we do, but what I want to know: Who in the world are the Joneses? -- M.L.J., Appleton, Wis. A: Cartoonist Arthur Momand created a comic strip called Keeping Up With the Joneses in 1913. He based the strip on his experiences while living in Cedarhurst in Long Island, N.Y. Momand claims that he attempted to maintain a lifestyle equal to the more affluent neighbors in his area. He eventually moved to New York City and into a modest apartment. Q: There was a movie around 1960 about a white horse; I believe the movie or the horses name was Snowfire. I really enjoyed the film and would love to turn my kids on to it. Can you find it? -- D.C., Alexandria, Va. A: You are correct on both counts: The 1958 movie that you are referring to is called Snowfire, as is the horse. The movie is about a young girl, Molly, who befriends a wild white stallion. Throw in some bad guys and a stubborn father, and you have a nice movie. Snowfire stars Don Megowan, Molly McGowan and Claire Kelly. It is available on DVD.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Dont give in to someones demands. It may be difficult, but you will have to maintain your own course of action, refusing to be swayed by what others do or think. TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 2014 This will prove to be a productive year if you cement partnerships that are beneficial and withdraw from those that may be impeding your progress. It will take all of your drive and commitment to take advantage of the wealth of opportunity ahead. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You have the chance to correct a past mistake should you be willing to do so. A defensive or critical attitude will only make matters worse. Make amends and move on. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You will gain momentum if you stick to your plans and stay alert to new possibilities. Dont feel compelled to share your ideas with others. The final product will speak for itself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Do your best to help an older friend or relative in need of assistance. Your calmness, kindness and thoughtful nature will have a lasting effect on those you encounter. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Let your charm lead the way. An opponent may try to catch you off guard. Maintain a pleasant attitude, speak thoughtfully and dont be coerced into a confrontation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your domestic or love life will likely face upset. Focus on projects that will boost your confidence. Consider your options before you deal with an emotional dilemma. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Although you are used to taking action, let someone else set the pace today. He or she may have a different and more effective approach to a mutually nettlesome situation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are capable of multitasking up a storm today. Although your current schedule may have you on the run, it will prepare you for the variety of challenges ahead. Show everyone how capable you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Spend some alone time pursuing activities that make you think. Personal relationships may need an adjustment. Its a good time to follow up on a creative project or plan a trip. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A current situation is likely to confuse you. Do some fact-finding before you take action. Dont feel the urge to gossip or share the information you discover. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may enjoy being in the spotlight, but while it may be flattering to have all eyes on you, it could damage a relationship with someone special. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An unusual request is apparent. You will benefit if you keep your emotions in check. Strive to be professional, honest and tactful in all your business dealings. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2014 thinking will pay off. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Consider making a lifestyle change. Base your actions on the way you feel and the goals you have set. Trying to impress others with your new behavior will backfire. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be drawn into a troublesome situation. Pay attention to your gut feelings, and put an end to a questionable partnership. Your reputation could be at stake. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Dealing with your peers or family members will be problematic today. Stay away from trivial disagreements. Your time will be better spent participating in worthwhile pursuits. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- New opportunities will allow you to use your talents and skills more diversely. Make decisions based on your needs, not on what someone else wants. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A personal situation needs to be resolved before you can move ahead. Do a detailed analysis of your financial status and consider what options will be most lucrative. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be aware of the opportunities that surround you. An unusual offer has the potential to turn into a profitable endeavor. Keep an open mind and share your thoughts. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your money matters need a critical evaluation. Get together with your financial adviser and determine how you can increase your savings. It may be necessary to make changes to your lifestyle.

HI AND LOIS

This will be a year of growth and creativity. You will find innovative ways to display your talents. Although there are some who will try to influence you to take a different path, believing in yourself and your abilities will be the key element to your success. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Youll face discord at home if you arent mindful of others. Now is not the time to make changes to your living space. An old debt will be settled in your favor. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be feeling emotionally down. If you take part in a cause you believe in, you will make new friends and infuse some life into your current situation.

Crimeans vote to leave Ukraine, join Russia

MIKE ECKEL Associated Press SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine Just two weeks after Russian troops seized their peninsula, Crimeans voted Sunday to leave Ukraine and join Russia, overwhelmingly approving a referendum that sought to unite the strategically important Black Sea region with the country it was part of for some 250 years. The vote was widely condemned by Western leaders, who planned to move swiftly to punish Russia with economic sanctions. As the votes were counted, a jubilant crowd gathered around a statue of Vladimir Lenin in the center of Simferopol to celebrate with song and dance. Many held Russian flags, and some unfurled a handwritten banner reading Were Russian and proud of it. Fireworks exploded in the skies above. We want to go back home, and today we are going back home, said Viktoria Chernyshova, a 38-year-old businesswoman. We needed to save ourselves from those unprincipled clowns who have taken power in Kiev. Ukraines new government in Kiev called the referendum a circus directed at gunpoint by Moscow, referring to the thousands of troops that now occupy the peninsula, which has traded hands repeatedly since ancient times. The referendum offered voters the choice of seeking annexation by Russia or remaining in Ukraine with greater autonomy. After 50 percent of the ballots were counted, more than 95 percent of voters had approved splitting off and joining Russia, according to Mikhail Malishev, head of the referendum committee. Final results were not expected until today. Opponents of secession appeared to have stayed away Sunday, denouncing the vote as a cynical power play and land grab by Russia. Putin insisted the referendum was conducted in full accordance with international law and the U.N. charter. Russia was expected to face strong sanctions Monday from the U.S. and Europe for going forward with the vote, which could also encourage rising pro-Russian sentiment in Ukraines east and lead to further divisions in this nation of 46 million. Residents in western Ukraine and the capital, Kiev, are strongly pro-West and Ukrainian nationalist. Andrew Weiss, vice president for Russian and East European studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, suggested the confrontation could intensify. Russia is really turning its back on the outside world and is basically going to say to the West, Now, go ahead. Show us how tough you are. And the West, I think, is struggling to come with an adequate response. The Crimean parliament planned to meet Monday to formally ask Moscow to be annexed, and Crimean lawmakers were to fly to Moscow later in the day for talks, Crimeas pro-Russia prime minister said on Twitter.

US cites security more to censor, deny records

TED BRIDIS Associated Press WASHINGTON The Obama administration more often than ever censored government files or outright denied access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press. The administration cited more legal exceptions it said justified withholding materials and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy. Most agencies also took longer to answer records requests, the analysis found. The governments own figures from 99 federal agencies covering six years show that half way through its second term, the administration has made few meaningful improvements in the way it releases records despite its promises from Day 1 to become the most transparent administration in history. In category after category except for reducing numbers of old requests and a slight increase in how often it waived copying fees the governments efforts to be more open about its activities last year were their worst since President Barack Obama took office. In a year of intense public interest over the National Security Agencys surveillance programs, the government cited national security to withhold information a record 8,496 times a 57 percent increase over a year earlier and more than double Obamas first year, when it cited that reason 3,658 times. The Defense Department, including the NSA, and the CIA accounted for nearly all those. The Agriculture Departments Farm Service Agency cited national security six times, the Environmental Protection Agency did twice and the National Park Service once. And five years after Obama directed agencies to less frequently invoke a deliberative process exception to withhold materials describing decision-making behind the scenes, the government did it anyway, a record 81,752 times. Im concerned the growing trend toward

relying upon FOIA exemptions to withhold large swaths of government information is hindering the publics right to know, said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It becomes too much of a temptation. If you screw up in government, just mark it top secret. Citizens, journalists, businesses and others last year made a record 704,394 requests for information, an 8 percent increase over the previous year. The government responded to 678,391 requests, an increase of 2 percent over the previous year. The AP analysis showed that the government more than ever censored materials it turned over or fully denied access to them, in 244,675 cases or 36 percent of all requests. On 196,034 other occasions, the government said it couldnt find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the government determined the request to be unreasonable or improper. Sometimes, the government censored only a few words or an employees phone number, but other times it completely marked out nearly every paragraph on pages. The White House said the governments figures demonstrate that agencies are responding to the presidents call for greater transparency. White House spokesman Eric Schultz noted that the government responded to more requests than previously and said it released more information. Over the past five years, federal agencies have worked aggressively to improve their responsiveness to FOIA requests, applying a presumption of openness and making it a priority to respond quickly, Schultz said. Sunday was the start of Sunshine Week, when news organizations promote open government and freedom of information. The chief of the Justice Departments Office of Information Policy, which oversees the open records law, told the Senate last week that some of the 99 agencies in the past five years have released documents in full or in part in more than 90 percent of cases. She noted the record number of requests for government records, which exceeded 700,000 for the first time last year, and said decisions are harder than ever.

Given the expanse of land and water that might need to be searched, finding the wreckage could take months or longer. Or it might never be located. Establishing what happened with any degree of certainty will probably require evidence from cockpit voice recordings and the planes flight-data recorders. The search area now includes 11 countries the plane might have flown over, Hishammuddin said, adding that the number of countries involved in the operation had increased from 14 to 25. The search was already a highly complex, multinational effort, he said. It has now become even more difficult. The search effort initially focused on the relatively shallow waters of the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca, where the plane was first thought to be. Hishammuddin said he had asked governments to hand over sensitive radar and satellite data to try to get a better idea of the planes final movements. With more information, he said, the search zone could be narrowed to an area that is more feasible. Malaysia is leading the search for the plane and

the investigation into its disappearance. In the United States, Dan Pfeiffer, senior adviser to President Barack Obama, told NBCs Meet the Press that the FBI was supporting the criminal probe. Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence, said on ABCs This Week that so far theres nothing out there indicating its terrorists. Investigators are trying to answer these questions: If the two pilots were involved in the disappearance, were they working together or alone, or with one or more of the passengers or crew? Did they fly the plane under duress or of their own will? Did one or more of the passengers manage to break into the cockpit or use the threat of violence to gain entry and then seize the plane? And what possible motive could there be for diverting the jet? Malaysias police chief, Khalid Abu Bakar, said he asked countries with citizens on board the plane to investigate their backgrounds, no doubt looking for anyone with terrorism ties, aviation skills or prior contact with the pilots. He said that the intelligence agencies of some countries had already done so and found nothing suspicious, but he was waiting for others to respond.

lasts so long and with the amount of work it was doing, it gave out, Dickman said. More often than not, thats when it happens, during a big thaw or rain event. She said one thing they worry about is fires when temperatures get extreme. Fortunately, the company has had no claims due to fire. Space heaters and furnaces work overtime and sometimes do not stop, she said. People should have their heating systems checked during the latter part of the summer or early fall.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) Spring is just days away but winter is not leaving quietly. Just as the trees started blooming and the birds started chirping, another round of snow and ice was bearing down Sunday on the Midwest and the MidAtlantic. Snow was expected this afternoon from the Central Appalachians to the Jersey Shore, making the morning commute treacherous for motorists. Parts of eastern West Virginia, central and west-central Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley could see up to 10 inches of snow. Smaller accumulations were expected in Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Parts of Southern Virginia and North Carolina braced for a slippery mix of rain, sleet and snow. Travel will be dangerous. Its a late-season storm but we cant let our guard down, said Amy Bettwy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Services office in Sterling, Va. A band of snow fell across Iowa on Saturday evening, following a warm and sunny day. The Des Moines area received about an inch of snow. Rain and thunderstorms were expected in the Southeast, some of which could be strong. In Alabama, authorities were investigating whether straight line winds or a tornado led to the collapse of a building in Atmore. A group of campers stranded during heavy rainfall in the Prattville area was rescued. No injuries were reported in either incident.
