Voters to weigh renewal of public works funds

COLUMBUS (AP) Voters will have the chance to decide in May whether to renew a public works program that funds repairs and upgrades to roads, bridges and other local infrastructure needs. The ballot issue would allow the state to borrow $1.875 billion over 10 years through the issuance of general obligation bonds. The Ohio Public Works Commission would use the money to provide grants and loans to local governments for capital improvement projects. Those could include updates to roadways, wastewater treatment systems and sanitary collection. Ohio voters previously approved the program in 1987, 1995 and 2005. If approved, the constitutional amendment would take effect immediately. Gov. John Kasich made the programs renewal a priority this year. And the proposal had bipartisan backing in the Legislature, whose support led to the issue being placed on the primary ballot. The measure lacks outspoken opponents. Associations representing county commissioners, townships and

Other health checks will be offered in July and during Canal Days in September. St. Ritas Medical Center is a partner in the health checks. (Delphos Herald/Nancy Spencer)

municipalities have praised the effort and the programs renewal. A group of county engineers and other supporters has been trying to spread the word about the ballot issue, said Chan Cochran, a longtime adviser to Kasich and a political consultant who is working with the grassroots campaign. Cochran said a small county can easily burn through several years worth of their budgets for bridge replacements or major roadway fixes. This helps get projects done that would have to wait years or decades for local funding, he said. The public works program has funded more than 11,500 projects in the last 27 years, though it runs out of money after July 1, 2015. This years proposal boosts the amount of funding compared to prior years. The initiative would increase the bond funding levels to $175 million annually for the first five years and then $200 million each year for the remaining five years. Thats up from the $1.35 billion voters agreed to in 2005.

PITTSBURGH (AP) John Pinette, the chubby stand-up comedian who portrayed a hapless carjacking victim in the final episode of Seinfeld, has died. He was 50. Pinette died fn natural causes Saturday at a hotel in Pittsburgh, the Allegheny County Medical Examiners office said Sunday evening. Pinettes agent confirmed his death. The portly Pinette was a self-deprecating presence on stage, frequently discussing his weight on stand-up specials Show Me the Buffett, Im Starvin! and Still Hungry. Pinette had been working on another stand-up project when he died, his agent, Nick Nuciforo, said. He should be celebrated for the amazing comedian he was, Nuciforo said. The Boston native appeared in movies including The Punisher and had a trio of stand-up shows released on DVD but was perhaps best known as the portly carjacking victim whose plight lands the Seinfeld stars before a judge for failing to help under a good Samaritan law. Pinette also appeared in the television series Parker Lewis Cant Lose. Pinette also appeared on state in a national tour of Hairspray as Edna Turnblad, the mother of the plays heroine. The medical examiners office said no autopsy was performed and Pinettes own physician signed off on the cause of death.

New home for homeless vets gets $85,000 grant
LORAIN, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Attorney Generals Office has given an $85,000 grant to a new nonprofit home for homeless veterans trying to get back on their feet. Valor Home is set to open May 1 in Lorain in northeastern Ohio. It will have 30 beds for transitional housing for homeless veterans. The $85,000 grant, announced this week, is planned to be used to help make improvements to the home. That will include remodeling the basement, fixing the roof and repairing damages from a burst pipe. In addition to transitional housing, Valor Home will also help veterans get drug and alcohol counseling, vocational training and other services. Attorney General Mike DeWine says veterans have given so much and deserve a helping hand after their service.

Campaign aims to reduce texting while driving

Information submitted PUTNAM COUNTY Motorists from all over the country are reminded that April is the national distracted driving awareness month and from April 10-15, law enforcement personnel will use a combination of traditional and innovative strategies to crack down on motorists who text while driving. This effort is a part of the national U Drive. U Text. U Pay. high-visibility enforcement (HVE) campaign that combines periods of intense enforcement of anti-texting laws with advertising and media outreach to let people know about the enforcement and convince them to obey the law. People need to know that we are serious about stopping this deadly behavior, said Michael Chandler, Putnam County Sheriff. Driving and texting has reached epidemic levels and enforcement of our state texting law is part of the cure. Violating Ohios texting law, which became effective on August 31, 2012, can be costly. Violation of this law can result in a fine up to $150 and possible driver license suspension for 60 days. In 2012, there were 3,328 people killed and 421,000 injured nationwide in distraction-affected crashes. The University of Michigans Transportation Research Institute reports that a quarter of teens

STATE/LOCAL

Products made by inmates see rising profits

CHILLICOTHE (AP) From toilet paper and license plates to processed meat and furniture, products made by Ohio inmates are becoming increasingly profitable as the states prisons act more like private businesses. In fiscal 2013, Ohio Penal Industries made $7.8 million, the fourth straight year of increased profits, according to a Correctional Institution Inspection Committee report released this week. The rising profits represent a turnaround from a $4.6 million deficit in fiscal 2009, when prison industry programs were criticized for poor quality at higher prices that private industries, according to The Chillicothe Gazette in southern Ohio. To increase earnings, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction closed eight unprofitable prison industry shops. In fiscal year 2010, 14 of the 25 prison industry programs across the state were losing money. By fiscal 2013, only three of 21 programs were in the red. The staff started looking at raw material costs and how to make shops more profitable, said Annette Chambers-Smith, deputy director of the corrections department. If we cant make it profitable, we will close it. Among the three programs that were losing money in fiscal 2013, which ended on Sept. 30, is the vehicle service center at Chillicothe Correctional Institution, which lost $144,000. Chambers-Smith said the center was relatively new and that a loss was expected. The woodworking program at Ross Correctional Institution, also in Chillicothe, lost $124,000 and has since closed. The modern furniture assembly program at Madison Correctional Institution, just outside of Columbus, lost $31,000 and has moved to a different prison. Previously, prison officials opened shops for the sole benefit of engaging prisoners with meaningful work in an effort to prevent repeat offenses. Now, Ohio prisons wont start a program without being certain it can make money, ChambersSmith said. As unprofitable prison shops have closed, inmate participation has gone down. About 18,400 inmates were employed in fiscal year 2013 compared to over 23,500 in 2009, according to the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee report. But Chambers-Smith pointed out that inmate involvement in prison industries has increased since 2011, when a plan was implemented to improve the programs and make them more profitable. The most profitable program in fiscal 2013 was, by far, meat processing at Pickaway Correctional Institution, just southwest of Columbus. That program netted $2.1 million in fiscal year 2013. Beverage production at the same prison was the second most-profitable program, making $890,500 last fiscal year. License plate production at Lebanon Correctional Institution, 30 miles northeast of Cincinnati, followed at $869,000, according to the report. As the prison products industry has improved, fewer state agencies have requested waivers to seek goods outside of the Ohio Penal Industry, Chambers-Smith said. Ohio law requires state agencies to purchase items from prison industries unless they can find a better, less expensive product elsewhere. The shift is important because Ohio Penal Industries remains largely reliant on state government business for its profits. Only 8 percent of sales were from private industries, compared with 72 percent from the prison system and 19 percent from other state agencies, according to the report.

Woman fights law limiting claims versus state

respond to a text message once or more every time they drive, and 20 percent of teens and 10 percent of parents admit that they have extended, multi-message text conversations while driving. When you text while driving, you take your eyes off the road, hands off the wheel and mind off the task of driving. That puts everyone elses lives in danger and no one has the right to do that, said Mike Klear, Putnam County Safe Community Coalition. The successes of the Click It or Ticket and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaigns have proven that the combination of tough laws, targeted advertising and high-visibility enforcement can change peoples risky traffic safety behaviors. This strategy was implemented as part of the Phone in One Hand. Ticket in the Other distraction demonstration effort in Hartford, Conn., and Syracuse, NY, in 2010 and 2011, and then to Delaware and Sacramento County in 2012 and 2013. In both projects, texting (and cell phone use) declined dramatically. Based on these encouraging results, DOT has developed the U Drive. U Text. U Pay. national campaign. Were serious about enforcing texting laws. If you drive and text, you will pay, said Chandler. For more information, please visit www.distraction.gov.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The Ohio Supreme Court is set to hear arguments later this month over a challenge of a state law that puts a two-year time limit on sexual abuse lawsuits to be filed against the state. A Cleveland woman who says she was raped by two state prison guards in a juvenile correctional facility in 2000, when she was 14, is challenging the Ohio law that limits damage claims against state employees and their agencies. Almost anyone else in the state accused of sexual abuse can be sued for damages up to 12 years after an assault. The Cleveland woman, whose name is not being used because shes an alleged sexual assault victim, says that the double standard is unfair and illegal. Both the Ohio Court of Claims and the Franklin County Court of Appeals dismissed her lawsuit against state authorities, first filed in 2012, saying it was not filed within the required two years, since the alleged rapes occurred in 2000 at the soon-to-close Scioto Juvenile Correctional Facility in Delaware. The womans Akron attorney, Jill Flagg, will argue the case before the Ohio Supreme Court on April 30. She said that allowing abuse victims only two years to file claims over trauma that many cant acknowledge until theyre adults holds the state to a lesser standard than anyone else and is a violation of the Constitution. It violates equal protection under the law, Flagg told The Columbus Dispatch, http://bit.ly/1e0Z4pe. There shouldnt be a shorter standard to file a claim against the state. It violates public policy. The Department of Youth Services declined to comment on the court case. But agency spokeswoman Kim Parsell said the woman who alleges that she was victimized at Scioto never reported she was sexually abused while in state custody. Flagg said her client, now 27, did report the assaults.

Captain America sets April record with $96.2M

LOS ANGELES (AP) Disney and Marvel could be one of the finest teams around. Continuing the success of their superhero franchise, Captain America: The Winter Soldier has set a record as the biggest domestic April release ever. The Disney sequel debuted with $96.2 million topping the previous record holder, 2011s Fast Five, which opened with $86.2 million. Last weekend The Winter Soldier, which stars Chris Evans as the shield-wielding superhero, and Scarlett Johansson (whose sci-fi Under the Skin also debuted this weekend with $140,000) as Black Widow, commanded 32 international markets, gaining $75.2 million in its overseas bow. Expanding to Russia, Australia and China in its second week, the Marvel comic adaptation, boasting a budget of over $170 million, has earned $207.1 million internationally, bringing its overall worldwide haul to over $303 million. Also a touchstone for Imax, The Winter Soldier attained $9.6 million on 346 screens showing the film in the enhanced resolution format. Internationally the film showed on 278 Imax screens resulting in a $6.5 million gain, $4 million of which was delivered from China. Captain America: The First Avenger, which had a budget of around $140 million, debuted in 2011 with $65 million when it opened in July. Overall it earned $371 million worldwide. Why the shift to an April release rather than remaining a summer launch? We looked at the possibility of creating separation from the other summer tentpoles, said Dave Hollis, head of worldwide theatrical distribution for Disney. There was an opportunity. We have the second Marvel film coming at the end of the summer in Guardians of the Galaxy. We wanted to start and end the summer and take advantage of this holiday. In the next month or so well have the benefit of spring break. The Avengers effect, as Hollis calls it, set the stage for the continuation of Marvels massive box office presence, which has continued with the Iron Man and Thor franchises. With the release of the films sequels, both have seen jumps of earnings over 35 percent. There are very few movie brands that are this consistent, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak of the DisneyMarvel team. For The Winter Solider to push on $100 million in April shows that you can release a big movie any time of the year. Every studio is going to be looking at this date to plant their flag in the future. Paramounts biblical saga Noah, starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Emma Watson, took a drastic dip in its second weekend, earning $17 million after debuting with $44 million. Still, it sailed into second place, crossing the $70 million mark domestically, while pushing Lionsgates young adult science-fiction thriller Divergent, led by Shailene Woodley, to third with $13 million in its third week. Its stateside cume is now $114 million. Freestyle Releasings surprise hit Gods Not Dead took the No. 4 slot with $7.7 million in its third weekend. Despite the decrease in the Noah box office performance, the outcome of films debut, its overall haul, and the success of both Son of God and Gods Not Dead bodes well for other biblical-themed films coming this year, including Heaven is for Real, starring Greg Kinnear and Exodus: Gods and Kings, starring Christian Bale. Coming in at No. 5, Wes Andersons The Grand Budapest Hotel collected $6.3 million, bringing its domestic total to $33 million. Fox Searchlight expanded its stylish comedy to 1,263 locations and the studio plans to add even more in the coming weeks. This is Andersons second widest expansion following 2009s Fantastic Mr. Fox. As this movie is expanding it is just building an audience, Dergarabedian said. $33 million compared to something like

Paralyzed Ohio man determined to skate again

SYLVANIA (AP) Through thick and thin, the saying goes about the tenacity of friendships to last through lifes ups and downs. Few can attest to the vitality of that personal bond like Sylvania native Jeremy Bigelow. At 30, Bigelow, a former Northview High School hockey and football player, is spry, optimistic and determined to reach his goals in life and his friends support him every step of the way. However, his goals differ from an average young man in the prime of his life. Getting out of this chair, running again being on the ice. The smell of the ice, you never forget when you go in an ice rink, he said about his dreams. Bigelow, who now lives in the Toledo suburb of Holland, was in a car accident in October 2010 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. As a result of his spinal cord injury, he uses a motorized chair. However, Bigelow is determined to fully recover. That recovery requires rigorous physical therapy paid out of pocket, he said, because it is not covered by insurance. This year, as in past years since his life took a dramatic turn, members of Sylvania Schools, including Superintendent Brad Rieger, as well as Bigelows family and friends, attend an annual benefit dinner and silent auction to defray the

Captain America doesnt sound like a lot, but its a huge number for a film like Grand Budapest that is so indie-minded and original. The weekends other releases included Codeblack Films Frankie and Alice, starring Halle Berry as a dancer with multiple personality disorder. Playing in 171 locations, it earned $350,000. And Fox Searchlights dark-comedy Dom Hemingway, starring Jude Law and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke, had a domestic gross of $32,000 after showing in only four theaters in New York and Los Angeles. Next week the film will expand to nearly 40 locations. Disneys Muppets Most Wanted, which landed at No. 6 with $6.3 million in its third weekend and Foxs Mr. Peabody and Sherman, coming in at No. 7 with $5.3 million in weekend five, were the top kiddie films. But Foxs animated Rio 2 stands to knock them down a few notches when it releases 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 on today. 1.Captain America: The Winter Soldier, $96.2 million ($107.1 million international). 2.Noah, $17 million ($46 million international). 3.Divergent, $13 million ($11.1 million international). 4.Gods Not Dead, $7.7 million. 5.The Grand Budapest Hotel, $6.3 million ($5.5 million international). 6.Muppets Most Wanted, $6.3 million ($1.9 million international). 7.Mr. Peabody and Sherman, $5.3 million ($11.2 million international). 8.Sabotage, $1.9 million. 9.Need for Speed, $1.84 million ($4.7 million international). 10.Non-Stop, $1.83 million ($2.5 million international).

cost of therapy sessions. The sessions are at Walk the Line to SCI (spinal cord injury) Recovery in Detroit. Bigelow calls his supporters Team Bigelow, and the team raises money for therapy sessions that cost nearly $400 each, or totaling about $40,000 a year, considering he attends twice a week. Nearly 200 people attended Aint No Mountain High Enough, this years inspirational benefit held at St. Josephs Father Wurzel Family Center Saturday night. Last years Mardi Grasthemed event raised about $40,000, Bigelow said. When the accident happened we tried to do everything to make everyone comfortable. Its a huge lifestyle change, said Bonnie Brieschke, owner of the Brieschkes Bakery in Sylvania. The therapy strengthens his core. So if anything changes, or if he has a stem cell transplant, he is in really good shape. She and Sylvania resident Amy Meader were putting the finishing touches on the brightly colored center pieces, and ensuring everything was in place for the silent auction, which had at least $20,000 worth of items, including a football signed by Sylvania native and Miami Dolphins punter Brandon Fields.

Associated Press FORT WORTH, Texas On a day when the weather was more suitable for ducks than racing, the Sprint Cup Series at Texas Motor Speedway became NASCARs first rainout of the season. The Robertson family from Duck Dynasty had prominent roles at Sundays race, called the Duck Commander 500, but Uncle Si never got to give the command to start engines. NASCAR pulled the plug after a delay of about four hours. The race will be run today at 11 a.m., nine hours before the start of the NCAA national championship game in nearby Arlington. Tony Stewart, making a comeback this season after missing the final four months of last year with a broken leg, will start on the pole. Its the third time in seven Sprint Cup Series races this season that rain has hampered the event. The season-opening Daytona 500 was stopped for more than six hours,and the race at Bristol Motor Speedway had two delays totaling more than five hours. At least the fans who braved the rain got to enjoy the Robertson family antics. Uncle Si was wearing a sparkly jumpsuit meant to resemble a firesuit. Family patriarch Phil Robertson was supposed to wave the green flag as the honorary starter, his youngest son, Jep, was to ride in a pace car. Jase Robertson introduced the Top 10 starters, and his wife Missy sang the national anthem. Sadie, Willies 16-year-old daughter, delivered the invocation. Korie Robertson, Willies wife, said about 30-40 members of the family were at the race. Willie Robertson s p o n sored Clint Bowyers car for the race. A steady rain saturated the track Sunday. NASCARs new track drying system requires two hours to dry the 1.5-mile speedway,but the unseasonably cool temperatures made the task more difficult. Bowyers car had markings for Willie Robertsons diner, Buck Commander and Korie Robertsons clothing boutique. Earlier Sunday, an official from Guinness Book of World Records officially certified Big Hoss TV as the worlds largest high-definition LED video board. It is 218 feet wide and about 95 feet high, covering 20,614 square feet. Hamilton edges Rosberg to win Bahrain GP SAKHIR, Bahrain Lewis Hamilton edged Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg after an intense race-long duel to take victory by just one second at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday. The two Mercedes were predictably in a different league to their rivals and recorded their second 1-2 finish in eight days after Hamiltons victory last weekend in Malaysia. With no team orders, the two were allowed to race for the lead and there were several close calls when the pair came inches away from colliding, providing a thrilling spectacle under the lights at the Bahrain International Circuit. Force Indias Sergio Perez was third in his first podium finish since 2012 and his teammate Nico Hulkenberg fifth. Daniel Ricciardo finished fourth, getting the better of his Red Bull teammate and defending 4-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel, who finished sixth. Vettel suffered the ignominy of being ordered by his team to let the quicker Ricciardo pass when they were fighting for position early in the race. Williams drivers Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas had looked poised to challenge for a podium place but they were hurt by the timing of a late safety car and finished seventh and eighth, with the Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen filling the final two points positions in ninth and 10th. The race was closely fought up and down the field throughout, providing a boost for the sport after a tepid opening two races of the season, and the safety car set up a nail-biting shootout for the final 11 laps. Hamilton was ahead but on the harder of the two tires while Rosberg was on the softer rubber. While behind the safety car, both drivers were cautioned by team racing director Paddy Lowe to race fairly and ensure both cars made it to the finish. Twice, Rosberg was able to pull off passing moves at the end of the main straight but both times Hamilton was able to get better drive out of the ensuing corners and narrowly stayed ahead in some enthralling wheel-to-wheel racing. Rosbergs tires began to wear out and he was not able to mount a challenge over the final three laps. Rosberg did have the comfort of staying ahead in the drivers championship with 61 points compared to Hamiltons 50. The safety car came out after Lotus driver Pastor Maldonado emerged from the pits and plowed into the side of the Sauber of Esteban Gutierrez at the first corner, flipping the Mexicans car in a frightening accident, but Gutierrez was able to walk away. Maldonado was judged by race stewards to have caused the incident and given a stop-go penalty.

Associated Press NL WASHINGTON Ian Desmond led off the seventh inning with a home run the only run of the game scored on a hit and the Washington Nationals and their makeshift lineup avoided a sweep Sunday with a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. Desmond ripped a down-the-middle fastball from Alex Wood (1-1) well into the left-field bleachers, the Nationals first hit since the first inning. But it was enough to win on a day when four Washington pitchers combined to allow eight hits. Taylor Jordan allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings, working out of several jams along the way, and Jerry Blevins (1-0) retired two batters in the seventh to get the win. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his first save. PIRATES 2, CARDINALS 1 PITTSBURGH Tony Sanchez hit a tie-breaking RBI double in the seventh inning and Pittsburgh edged St. Louis. Sanchezs double to deep center field with two outs came off Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright (1-1) and snapped a 1-1 tie. The hit by the rookie reserve catcher scored Pedro Alvarez, who led off the inning with a walk, and was Sanchezs second game-winning hit of the week as he singled home the winning run in the 16th inning of Wednesday nights victory over the Chicago Cubs. Tony Watson (1-0) retired all four bat-

ters he faced, striking out three, and ran his string of consecutive scoreless innings to 24, dating to last season. Jason Grilli pitched a scoreless ninth to convert his first save. St. Louis managed just three hits. PADRES 4, MARLINS 2 MIAMI Pinch-hitter Alexi Amarista celebrated his 25th birthday by delivering a go-ahead, 3-run homer in the seventh inning to lift San Diego. Ian Kennedy (1-1) allowed one run and three hits in six innings for the Padres. He struck out five. Four relievers then helped the Padres end a 4-game losing streak, including two against the Marlins to begin the series. Huston Street pitched the ninth for his second save. Amaristas home run came off Nathan Eovaldi (1-1), who held the Padres scoreless through six. Eovaldi struck out eight and allowed six hits. The Marlins completed their opening homestand with a 5-2 record. REDS 2, METS 1 NEW YORK Alfredo Simon pitched seven impressive innings in his first start in more than two years and began the go-ahead rally with his second career hit, helping Cincinnati salvage a win in the 3-game series. Joey Votto had a sacrifice fly and Ryan Ludwick a tie-breaking single off

Jonathon Niese (0-1), who was making his first start of the season after being slowed by shoulder and elbow injuries this spring. Simon (1-0) made 99 relief appearances for the Reds since his previous start, on Sept. 28, 2011, for Baltimore, but manager Bryan Price tapped the right-hander because Mat Latos is rehabbing from knee and elbow operations. Manny Parra retired all six batters he faced for his first career save. DIAMONDBACKS 5, ROCKIES 3 DENVER Mark Trumbo homered for the fourth straight game as Arizona averted a sweep. Wade Miley pitched eight strong innings to extend his mastery over the Rockies. He also had a career-best three hits, including an RBI single and benefited from a defense that turned five double plays as the Diamondbacks won for just the second time in nine games this season. Miley improved to 7-0 with a 2.52 ERA in 10 career games (nine starts) against the Rockies, matching the longest winning streak against Colorado to start a career. The winning pitcher in Arizonas only other victory this season, Miley (2-1) allowed two runs and seven hits. See MLB, page 7

UConn and Kentucky for national title

By JIM OCONNELL Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) Connecticut and Kentucky couldnt have met in last years championship game and few people gave them a chance to be in this years. Seventh-seeded Connecticut and eighthseeded Kentucky meet tonight in one of the unlikeliest NCAA championship games ever. Neither was around in last years postseason Connecticut because of a tournament ban over academic issues; Kentucky because it didnt make the field. And neither looked like national title contenders at times this season. Kentucky (29-10) and its outstanding freshmen went from preseason No. 1 to out of the rankings after some bad losses. And Connecticut (31-8) was not a popular postseason pick after finishing tied for third in the American Athletic Conference with multiple losses to Louisville and SMU. In the tournament, the Huskies have stopped some of the countrys top guards and put themselves in position for their fourth national championship, the previous three under Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun. Hopefully we have an opportunity to fall back on our defense, second-year coach Kevin Ollie said. We have been doing that the whole year. If Kentucky has a chance to win in the final minute, that defense better pay attention to guard Aaron Harrison, one of five freshmen starters. He has hit huge 3-pointers in the Wildcats last three games. Harrison rattled in a 26-footer with 5.7 seconds to go in the 74-73 win over Wisconsin in the semifinals. He made almost the exact same shot with 2.3 seconds left against Michigan for a 75-72 win that sent the Wildcats to the Final Four. Against Louisville, he hit a 3 with 39 seconds left to give Kentucky the lead for good in a 74-69. The biggest thing is hes not afraid to miss, Kentucky coach John Calipari said. Hes OK with it. Hes comfortable in his own skin. If youre going to make those kind of shots, you absolutely cannot be afraid to miss them. These two programs have combined to win six of the last 18 NCAA titles. Playing against Connecticut, I mean, Im just happy were still playing, Calipari added. Neither program could say that last year. Connecticut was banned from the postseason after failing to meet NCAA academic standard. It had practice limitations and lost a scholarship. The players could have transferred but didnt. The Huskies finished 20-10 in Ollies first year. They took the hit and made it back to the biggest stage. Its actually very impressive, NCAA president Mark Emmert said Sunday. To see that team hold together. I think its a commitment to those young men on that team that hung together. The leader of the group is All-American Shabazz Napier, who leads the team in almost every statistical category. Hes the guy who makes the big shot or big pass. Fellow guard Ryan Boatright has taken some of the spotlight recently for his defensive performances against the likes of Keith Appling of Michigan State and Scottie Wilbekin of Florida. Defense is the biggest thing for me. The points will come, Boatright said. I want to make him uncomfortable, dont let him get in a rhythm or flow. Their guards,

Adam Jones drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth with a sacrifice fly after Nick Markakis tripled. RANGERS 3, RAYS 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Yu Darvish allowed seven hits over seven innings in his season debut, Elvis Andrus hit a 2-run homer, and Texas avoided a 3-game sweep. Darvish (1-0) struck out six and walked one. Sidelined by neck stiffness, it was his first outing since a spring training game on March 16. Darvish got his 500th career strikeout, coming in 401 2/3 innings, by fanning David DeJesus and Wil Myers in the first. According to the Rangers, it is the fewest innings for a starter to reach 500 strikeouts in major-league history. Andrus put the Rangers up 2-0 with his homer off Joel Peralta (0-1) in the eighth. Donnie Murphy made it 3-0 on an RBI infield during the ninth.

(Continued from page 6)

Delphos had its best chance in the first. Stockwell walked to lead it off and burgled second. Felver nabbed Stockwell off second on Jettinghoffs comebacker. Thompsons hit to right center put runners on the corners, with the batter taking second on the throw. However, Felver got out of the inning unscathed. The visitors again threatened in the third. Bullinger singled to center and an out hence, Jettinghoff walked. Thompson forced Bullinger at third and Nick Fitch was retired to end that uprising. We struggled offensively; its frustrating. Its more mental than anything right now, Jefferson coach Doug Geary explained. We were 0-for with runners in scoring position today; we were 1-of-5 on trying to lay down bunts. In the first game, their number 4 hitter had struck out twice before and then hit a homer. We couldnt get any better pitching but we threw the ball around some today. We gave up three runs and got swept today. Parkway first-year head man Luke Clouse felt his team was fortunate. We didnt get much offen-

sively either. Jefferson threw some good pitchers, Clouse added. We came up with a couple of big plays and that was enough. We had some solid pitching, too, which we felt wed have all year. Were a work in progress offensively and our defense was OK. We have a long way to go but we are making strides. Jefferson visits Miller City 5 p.m. Tuesday.

Whos making more money on their writing?

Q: Quite a long time ago, I read a cute comment that writing advertisements was the second most profitable form of writing. I would like to know what the most profitable would be, and who wrote the saying. -- S.E.B., Shenandoah, Iowa A: The sentiment is by American adman Philip Dusenberry. The complete line goes, I have always believed that writing advertisements is the second most profitable form of writing. The first, of course, is ransom notes. My best friend thinks there should be an addition of, or cheap adult romance novels. She might be right. Philip Bernard Dusenberry (1936-2007) gained experience as a copywriter for a radio station and then moved on to advertising agencies. He co-wrote the script for The Natural (1984), which starred Robert Redford. In 2005, Dusenberry wrote a book, Then We Set His Hair on Fire: Insights and Accidents From a Hall of Fame Career in Advertising. The title refers to the incident in which Michael Jacksons

Obama actions test workplace ideas

WASHINGTON (AP) Lacking congressional support to raise wages or end gender pay disparities, President Barack Obama is again imposing his policies on federal contractors, in keeping with presidents tradition of exerting their powers on a fraction of the economy they directly control. Obama will sign an executive order Tuesday barring federal contractors from retaliating against employees who discuss their pay with each other. The order is similar to language in a Senate bill aimed at closing a pay gap between men and women. That measure is scheduled for a vote this week, but is unlikely to pass. The president also will direct the Labor Department to adopt rules requiring federal contractors to provide compensation data based on sex and race. He plans to sign the two executive orders during an event at the White House where he will be joined by Lilly Ledbetter, whose name appears on a pay discrimination law Obama signed in 2009. The moves showcase Obamas efforts to seek action without congressional approval and demonstrate that even without legislation, the president can drive economic policy. At the same time, they show the limits of his ambition when he doesnt have the support of Congress for his initiatives. Republicans say Obama is pushing his executive powers too far and should do more to work with Congress. His new executive orders are sure

PERTH, Australia (AP) A British navy ship with sophisticated sound-locating equipment arrived today in a patch of the southern Indian Ocean to determine whether underwater sounds picked up by a Chinese ship crew using a hand-held device came from the missing Malaysia Airlines black boxes. Britain reported the HMS Echo had arrived in the new area. It will be in a race against time to determine what the noises are, because the batterypowered pingers that emit sounds from the black boxes are on the verge of dying out. Meanwhile, the Australian navy ship Ocean Shield, which is carrying high-tech sound detectors from the U.S. Navy, was investigating a sound it picked up in another area about 555 kilometers (345 miles) away. Australian authorities said once it had finished that

Ships race to investigate Heroin addicts face signals in jet search barriers to treatment
investigation, it would head the new area to help the HMS Echo. Searchers today were anticipating good weather, with nine military planes, three civilian planes and a total of 14 ships expected to search for Flight 370, which vanished a month ago. Hopes of finding the plane were given a boost after a Chinese ship picked up an electronic pulsing signal on Friday and again Saturday. The Ocean Shield detected a third signal in the different area Sunday, the head of the multinational search said. The two black boxes contain flight data and cockpit voice recordings that could solve one of the most baffling mysteries in modern aviation: who or what caused Flight 370 to veer radically off course and vanish March 8 while traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board. But there were questions about whether any of the sounds were the breakthrough that searchers are desperately seeking or just another dead end in a hunt seemingly full of them, with experts expressing doubt that the equipment aboard the Chinese ship was capable of picking up signals from the black boxes. This is an important and encouraging lead, but one which I urge you to treat carefully, said retired Australian Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, who is coordinating the search out of Perth, Australia. He warned that the sounds were fleeting, fleeting acoustic events, not the more extended transmissions that would be expected. NEW YORK (AP) As the ranks of heroin users rise, increasing numbers of addicts are looking for help but are failing to find it because there are no beds in packed facilities, treatment is hugely expensive and insurance companies wont pay for inpatient rehab. Some users overcome their addictions in spite of the obstacles. But many, like Salvatore Marchese, struggle and fail. In the course of Marcheses five-year battle with heroin, the Blackwood, N.J., man was repeatedly denied admission to treatment facilities, often because his insurance company wouldnt cover the cost. Then one night in June 2010, a strung-out Marchese went to the emergency room seeking help. The doctors shook their heads: Heroin withdrawal is not lifethreatening, they said, and we cant admit you. They gave him an IV flush, and sent him home. Marchese, then 26, and his sister called multiple inpatient clinics only to be told: We have no beds. Eventually, Marchese found space at a facility but was released 17 days later when his public funding ran out. Less than three months later, Marchese was found dead of an overdose in his mothers car. Heroin is life-threatening, said his mother, Patty DiRenzo. Were losing kids every day from it. Of the 23.1 million Americans who needed treatment for drugs or alcohol in 2012, only 2.5 million people received aid at a specialty facility, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Heroin addicts are a small slice of overall drug users, but their numbers nearly doubled from 2007 to 2012, to 669,000. The number treated for heroin also increased, from 277,000 to 450,000. At issue is whether these addicts are getting the treatment they need to successfully beat their habits. Advocates say they are not, partly because the insurance industry has not come to grips with the dangers of heroin withdrawal and its aftermath. It is true that, unlike withdrawal from

to lead to criticism that he is placing an undue burden on companies and increasing their costs. Federal contracting covers about one-quarter of the U.S. workforce and includes companies ranging from Boeing to small parts suppliers and service providers. As a result, presidential directives can have a wide and direct impact. Such actions also can be largely symbolic, designed to spur action in the broader economy. This really is about giving people access to more information both to help them make decisions at the policy level but also for individuals, said Heather Boushey, executive director and chief economist at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. She has been working with the administration to get compensation information about the nations workforce. This is definitely an encouraging first step, she said. Federal contractors, however, worry that additional compensation data could be used to fuel wage related lawsuits, said James Plunkett, director of labor policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Whats more, he said, such orders create a two-tiered system where rules apply to federal contractors but not to other employers. Those contractors, knowing that their business relies on the government, are less likely to put up a fight, he said.

dependencies on alcohol or benzodiazepines like Xanax, heroin withdrawal does not kill. But it is so horrible users feel like their bones are breaking and fluids leak from every orifice that many are drawn back to the drug, with fatal consequences. Even if addicts survive withdrawal, they often relapse if they fail to make it into treatment. Thats when many overdoses happen, because they try to use as much heroin as they did before, and their newly drug-free bodies cant handle it. Because withdrawal is not directly deadly, most insurance companies wont pay for inpatient rehab, said Anthony Rizzuto, a provider relations representative at Seafield Center, a clinic on Long Island. They either claim that the addict does not meet the criteria for medical necessity that inpatient care would be an inappropriate treatment or require that the user first try outpatient rehab. Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of the time, we hear denied, Rizzuto said. And then we go to an appeal process. And we get denied again. Susan Pisano, a spokeswoman for Americas Health Insurance Plans, the trade association that represents the health insurance industry, defended the industrys practices. Health insurers rely on evidence-based standards of care that look at: what is the right level of coverage, the right site of coverage, the right combination of treatments, she said. There is debate over the best way to get clean, but most addiction experts agree that inpatient care is often essential for full-blown addicts. But for the few who do get some insurance coverage, what theyre getting falls short of what they need and often what their policies allow. While most insurance policies allow coverage of up to 30 days, nobody gets all 30, said Tom McLellan, CEO of the nonprofit Treatment Research Institute in Philadelphia who served as deputy drug czar under President Barack Obama. The average duration is 11 to 14 days.
