Elwer to receive Honorary Jones wins FFA Degree for Teachers Ohio Has
Talent!
By ED GEBERT Times Bulletin Editor VAN WERT Cameron Jones of Delphos was the last of 20 contestants to perform Saturday night at Ohio Has Talent! but his performance seemed to be just what the crowd had been waiting for. The Jefferson High School freshman calmly walked on stage at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center, plugged in his guitar and proceeded to blow the room away. Although the judges declared the contest a tight one, Jones was a crowd favorite when the winners were announced. Jones told the judges that he was inspired to take up guitar after seeing one of the characters on the Nickolodeon network show, Drake and Josh, a few years ago. He has been playing just four years but did not appear to let the nearly sold-out crowd bother him. In fact, he seemed to feed off the audience enthusiasm. For winning the event, Jones received $500 and was one of two performers called out to receive a pass into the top 100 for the Ohio Idol competition to be held June 16-17 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The other free pass went to Kate Fox, who was part of a duo performance with Hannah Felver. The pair hail from St. Marys and New Knoxville. If Fox and Jones make it to the top 50, they will perform during Columbus Red, White & Boom! fireworks festival on July 3. The finals will be July 28, with the top 10 contestants performing at the Ohio State Fair on the Celeste Center stage, where the winner will be announced.

HERALD
Delphos, Ohio

Fifteen-year FFA Advisor and teacher Scott Elwer was the only teacher in Ohio to receive the Honorary Ohio FFA Degree for Teachers this year. He will be presented the award in May at the FFA State Convention. Former Delphos FFA Advisor and teacher Lucy Bambauer, left, and retiring FFA President Lindzi Hoersten present Elwer with a plaque to commemorate his Honorary Ohio FFA Degree. See more photos on page 11. BY STACY TAFF staff@delphosherald.com for someone who himself was never an FFA member, the nomination read. Perhaps that is what drives him every day. He constantly seeks out opportunities and pushes students to pursue award opportunities. In the 15 years he has been the Delphos teacher, 104 students have earned State FFA Degrees and 52 have earned the American FFA Degree. This is quite an accomplishment when you compare it to the chapter records prior to Scotts arrival. From 1953-1997, 45 students earned the State Degree and 8 earned the American Degree. The nomination detailed a long list of the many duties and responsibilities Elwer takes upon himself to do on a daily basis, even making sacrifices in his personal life to do so. He was presented a plague during the banquet that was inscribed with an eagle and the following saying: You have accepted the challenge to soar above the world and to overcome barriers to success that wouldve caused others to falter and fail. You have been decisive where others have hesitated. You are recognized as a leader for your efforts. Truly, you are an inspiration... like the majestic eagle. See FFA, page 11

Snapshot shows Prescriptions high-producing taken from home Ohio wells

COLUMBUS (AP) The first look at actively producing natural gas wells in Ohios Utica Shale formation using the method known as hydraulic fracturing show high levels of gas production. Figures reported Monday by Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy Corp. show five wells in eastern Ohio producing 2.6 billion square feet of natural gas in 2011. The figures, which Chesapeake provided to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, shows one well alone in Harrison County producing 2 percent of the states entire natural gas production. Rick Simmers, Ohios oil and gas resources division chief, says preliminary production for all the wells is very high. Companies including Chesapeake have drilled 38 other wells that have yet to report production. Ohio has issued about 150 permits for Utica Shale wells in Ohio.

Report: Ohio State paid $25.6M in bonuses in 2011

DAYTON (AP) Five medical professors and two coaches at Ohio State University received bonuses topping $1 million in 2011, most of them more than double the size of their base earnings, according to a newspaper review of public records. The bonuses are among about $25.6 million total given to more than 4,000 employees, a jump of nearly 89 percent from the $13.6 million handed out in 2010 to about 1,700 employees, the Dayton Daily News reported in its Sunday editions (http:// bit.ly/H456Ed). Basketball coach Thad Matta was the highest earner, with a bonus of about $1.1 million boosting his annual pay to about $2.2 million. The second-highest paid employee was a heart specialist and associate professor at the university medical center who received the most generous bonus nearly $1.4 million to earn more than $2 million for the year. The scale of the bonuses is not the norm in higher education, said Richard Vedder, director of the nonprofit Center for College Affordability and Productivity, based in Washington. I have never seen anything like this never, Vedder, who also is a professor of economics at Ohio University in Athens, told the newspaper. Ohio State officials defended the bonuses, noting that they are not paid with tax or tuition dollars, but from the self-funded medical center and athletics department. They said the top medical center bonuses were given to the physicians to commemorate five years of hard work. These five physicians were hired five years ago to build a nationally respected program in cardiac electrophysiology. Today, that program is the largest in the state and treats patients from throughout a multistate region, said Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch, adding that the school was ranked

At 11:48 a.m. on Friday, Delphos Police were called to the 1000 block of Lima Avenue in reference to a theft complaint. Upon officers arrival, the victim stated that someone had taken prescription drugs from inside the residence.

Film festival sets attendance mark

Ohio welfare rolls see 18 percent drop

CLEVELAND (AP) The 36th Cleveland International Film Festival has set an attendance record, hosting 850,000 people over 11 days. The Plain Dealer reports the event that wrapped up Sunday included more than 320 features and shorts. The documentary Under African Skies, about Paul Simons Graceland album, was the audiences choice for best film. Other winning documentaries were Beauty is Embarrassing about artist Wayne White, Finding North about hunger in America and Bill W. about the Alcoholics Anonymous founder. Missed Connections was the best American independent film and Best Intentions from Romania was tops among Central and Eastern European films.

At 2:20 a.m. on Saturday, while on routine patrol, Delphos Police came into contact with Trevis Wiseman, 24, of Delphos, at which t i m e reports i n d i cate that Wiseman was operating a m o t o r vehicle Wiseman w h i l e under the influence of alcohol or a drug of abuse. While officers were searching the vehicle, a small amount of a green leafy substance suspected of being marijuana was also found. Wiseman was cited into Van Wert Municipal Court on the charges.

At 3:31 p.m. on Friday, while on routine patrol, Delphos Police came into contact with Carla Suever, 59, of Delphos Suever at which time, it was found Suever was operating a motor vehicle while having her driving privileges suspended. Suever was cited into Lima Municipal Court on the charges.

At 9 p.m. on Saturday, Delphos Police were called to the 200 block of North Cass Street in reference to a criminal damaging complaint at a residence in that area. Upon officers arrival, they met with the victim who stated someone had broken a window on the victims vehicle while it was parked at the residence. At 12:05 a.m. on Sunday, police were called back to the residence with the victim stating someone had thrown eggs on the vehicle a short time ago.

17th among public universities and colleges in the latest U.S. News & World Reports Best Colleges rankings. Kevin Holtsberry, president of the fiscally conservative Buckeye Institute, said the university should be held to explain the large bonuses. I think the public is right to be skeptical and deserves to have some explanation of why these kinds of numbers are being paid to what should be public servants at a public institution, he said. Along with Matta, former football coach Jim Tressel is on the list of those receiving the big bonuses. He was paid $1.8 million in 2011, including his $1 million bonus. Across the university, Ohio States payroll jumped 7.6 percent to $1.8 billion, topping the 3.5 percent tuition increase the university board authorized last year. Officials said part of the jump is due to the addition of a new physicians group at the growing medical center.

SPRING SAVING

COLUMBUS (AP) Ohios welfare rolls have seen an 18 percent drop over the past year, largely due to recipients booted from the program for failing to work or get job training. The Columbus Dispatch reports Monday that 36 percent of the drop is attributed to failure to meet work requirements. Other reasons include paperwork errors, income increases or time limits. Ohio began cracking down on those who arent working or training after being fined last year by the federal government. The state stands to lose $130 million in welfare funding unless at least half of adults on welfare are working, looking for work or training by Sept. 30.

Tiller missing from residence

At 9:34 a.m. on Friday, Delphos Police were contacted by a resident of the 700 block of South Main Street in reference to a burglary. Upon speaking with the complainant, it was found someone had gained entry into the residence and had taken some electronic items from inside.

Insurance requirement not the only mandate

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press WASHINGTON The individual insurance requirement that the Supreme Court is reviewing isnt the first federal mandate involving health care. Theres a Medicare payroll tax on workers and employers, for example, and a requirement that hospitals provide free emergency services to indigents. Health care is full of government dictates, some arguably more intrusive than President Barack Obamas overhaul law. Its a wrinkle that has caught the attention of the justices. Most of the mandates apply to providers such as hospitals and insurers. For example, a 1990s law requires health plans to cover at least a 48-hour hospital stay for new mothers and their babies. Such requirements protect some consumers while indirectly raising costs for others. One mandate affects just about everybody: Workers must pay a tax to finance Medicare, which collects about $200 billion a year. Its right on your W-2 form, line 6, Medicare tax withheld. Workers must pay it even if they dont have health insurance. Employees of a company get to split the tax with their employer. The self-employed owe the full amount, 2.9 percent of earnings. Lindsey Donner, a smallBy NANCY BENAC Associated Press business owner from San Diego, pays the Medicare tax although she and her husband are uninsured. Donner, 27, says she doesnt see much difference between the mandate that workers help finance Medicare and the health care laws requirement that nearly everyone has to have some sort of health insurance. My understanding of what is going on in the Supreme Court is that it seems to be something of a semantics issue, she said. Ultimately, I dont see the big difference. If I am paying for Medicare, why cant I also be paying into something that would help me right now or in five years if I want to have children? Donner is a copy writer for businesses; her husband specializes in graphics design. In the past they had a health plan with a high deductible, but they found they were paying monthly premiums for insurance they never used something she said they couldnt afford on a tight budget. Under the law, people such as Donner and her husband would have to get insurance or pay a fine. But they may qualify for federal subsidies to help pay premiums for policies that would be more comprehensive. Preventive care would be covered with no co-payments. We have jobs, we pay our bills, we pay our taxes, said Donner. Yet it is very difficult to find affordable, reasonable health care. Theres no question the

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama is convening a summit with leaders from Mexico and Canada today that aims to boost a fragile recovery and grapple with thorny energy issues against a backdrop of painfully high gas prices. The session at the White House is a make-good for a planned meeting last November in Hawaii on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific summit. Obama ended up meeting just with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper when Mexican President Felipe Calderons top deputy was killed in a helicopter crash. Sure to feature prominently in todays Oval Office session: Mexicos role as a major oil exporter and the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada that Obama has shelved pending further review. Republicans denounced Obamas move as a blow to job-creation and U.S. energy needs. But he maintains GOP leaders in Congress forced his hand by insisting on a decision before an acceptable pipeline route was found. The pipeline would link Albertas oil sands to the U.S. Gulf Coast, but environmentalists fear both its local impact and a major uptick in greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. Harper has voiced disappointment with Obamas decision. He also visited China in February to explore alternatives. Canada has the worlds third-largest oil reserves more than 170 billion barrels after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, and daily production of 1.5 million barrels from the oil sands is expected to rise to 3.7 million by 2025. Trade also topped the North American summit agenda, with Obama hoping that booming exports will help drive the U.S. recovery. The White House also listed growth and competitiveness, citizen security and climate change as key issues, along with the agenda for the next summit on the docket, the hemispherewide Summit of the Americas later this month in Cartagena, Colombia. Obama, Harper and Calderon are well-known to each other from international gatherings but are headed in different electoral directions. While Obama faces a tough re-election battle for the next seven months, Calderon is term-limited. The battle to succeed him formally kicked off last week and will culminate with Mexican elections July 1. The main issue is the deadly war his government has waged with drug cartels, which has claimed an estimated 47,000 lives. By contrast, Harper, who has led Canada since 2006, appears secure in his job, having led his Conservatives from minority status to a majority in Parliament in elections last May. He doesnt have to face voters again for four years. Another reason Obama might envy Harper: thanks to that majority, the budget Harpers government introduced last week should pass easily, including its budget cuts designed to eliminate Canadas deficit by 2015.

Romney recalls humorous story of factory closures

WASHINGTON Mitt Romney hit an off note when he told a humorous story about his dad shutting down a factory. Romney recounted the time his auto executive father shut down a factory in Michigan and moved it to Wisconsin. Later, when his dad was in a parade while running for Michigan governor, the marching band kept playing the University of Wisconsin fight song. Every time they would start playing On, Wisconsin! On Wisconsin! my dads political people would jump up and down and try to get them to stop, Romney said with a laugh. A joke about closing factories? In this economy? What was he thinking? Democrats pounced on it as fresh evidence that Romney is out of touch with the economic concerns of ordinary voters. Jokes that might be funny another time often dont pass muster under the klieg lights of a presidential campaign. In 2004, when Romney was Massachusetts governor, he took a jab at the wealth of that years monied presidenBy JULIE PACE Associated Press

Medicare payroll tax is a government mandate, said Mark Hayes, former chief health counsel for the Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee. But he makes a distinction between the payroll tax and the individual health insurance mandate in Obamas health care law. Congress used more clearly defined constitutional powers when it created Medicare. The power to tax and the power to spend, Hayes said. Here, with the individual mandate, its a different question regulating interstate commerce. This is a novel question from a legal standpoint. Obamas law makes health insurance both a right and a responsibility for most. It would provide coverage to more than 90 percent of the population, subsidizing private insurance for millions. But it also requires nearly everyone to carry health insurance, either through an employer or a government program, or by buying an individual policy. The mandate is well within the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce, the administration and the laws supporters contend. Opponents say Congress overstepped constitutional bounds by effectively requiring individuals to purchase a particular product. Supreme Court justices are trying to determine the distinction between Obamas law and other mandates, and whether it makes a difference.

Obama may face election-year jam on gay marriage

PORTLAND, Maine President Barack Obama could be caught in an election-year bind on gay marriage, wedged between the pressure of supporters who want him to back same-sex marriage and the political perils of igniting an explosive social issue in the midst of the campaign. Interviews with gay rights advocates and people close to Obamas campaign suggest it is no longer a matter of if, but when the president publicly voices his support. But Obama backers are split over whether that will happen before the November elections. Gay marriage is already a big issue in a handful of states that have it on their ballots in November, including Maine, where Obama was headlining two fundraisers Friday. The president also headlined fundraisers Friday in Vermont, one of six states, plus the District of Columbia, where gay marriage is legal. But neither in Vermont nor in Maine did Obama touch on the issue during his public remarks. Once an opponent of gay marriage, Obama declared in 2010 that his personal views on the subject were evolving. He has gone no further in public since then. People familiar with the Obama campaigns deliberations have tamped down expectations that the president might declare his support for gay marriage before the election. They say the campaigns internal conversations on the issue focus instead on how to energize gay and lesbian voters in spite of Obamas lack of clarity on the issue. Public support for gay marriage is increasing in the U.S., including among the independent voters who are a key to general election success. But regardless of whether Obama has made up his mind on the subject, its not the topic his campaign wants to be talking about heading into an election expected to be decided largely on economic issues. As White House and campaign officials learned all too well during the controversy over birth control access earlier this year, stepping into social issues even those with Democratic support

tial candidate, Democratic Sen. John Kerry. Theres a senator from my state, you may have heard, that wants to get elected president, Romney said at a Republican Governors Association dinner. And I dont know why he wants to do that because, of course, if he won hed have to move into a smaller house. It may have been funny then, but the joke boomeranged when it resurfaced on the Internet this past week just as Romney is trying to combat an elitist image. Actor Robert De Niro attempted satire during a New York fundraiser headlined by Michelle Obama this month when he ticked off the names of the wives of the GOP presidential candidates and then joked that America wasnt ready for a white first lady. President Barack Obama, for his part, has had better luck using humor to deflect questions about his own vulnerabilities real or perceived. During a St. Patricks Day reception this month, Obama was presented with a certificate of Irish heritage by the Irish prime minister. This will have a special place of honor alongside my

birth certificate, Obama deadpanned, deftly sending the message that any lingering doubts about where he was born are nothing but a joke. Sometimes, humor can come back to bite a candidate long after the laugh lines have faded. Texas Governor Rick Perry, whose Republican presidential campaign quickly floundered in the primaries, took a big step toward rehabilitating his image with his appearance last weekend at a fancy Washington dinner for journalists and their guests. He got plenty of laughs when he joked that his time as the GOP front-runner had been the three most exhilarating hours of my life. He perfectly skewered Romney by quipping that during the GOP debates, hed been tempted to turn to his rival and ask, Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon? Getting off a few wellrehearsed jokes often written by someone else is generally less challenging than displaying pitch-perfect humor day after day amid the grind of campaigning. Perrys jokes, for example, were written by GOP speechwriter Landon Parvin.

can quickly throw the presidents message off course. While Obama aides saw the contraception issue as an important appeal to women voters, there may be little election-year payoff for the president taking a stand on gay marriage. Obamas record on gay rights issues, including the repeal of the militarys ban on openly gay service members and an order for the Justice Department not to enforce a provision that defines marriage as between one man and one woman, has already solidified the overwhelming backing of gay rights supporters. Obama often highlights the end of the Clinton-era dont ask, dont tell policy on gay military service, a surefire applause line with his supporters. Change is the fact that for the first time in history you dont have to hide who you love in order to serve the country that you love, he told a campaign crowd at Southern Maine Community College. We ended dont ask, dont tell.

Jays take 2, Lancers drop 2

SPORTS

By JIM METCALFE

DELPHOS St. Johns came off an offensive explosion in their 19-0 rout of Jefferson Thursday when they entertained Lincolnview and Antwerp in a triple-header Saturday morning/afternoon at Stadium Park. The Blue Jays didnt skip a beat, rocking the Archers 12-0 in five innings in game 1 and then returning later to belt the Lancers 12-2 in six frames. Were getting good play in every facet. Our defense has been solid and that gives you a chance to win every game; we arent giving our opponents those extra at-bats, St. Johns coach Dan Metzger said. Were not swinging at many bad pitches our selection has been good and were making solid contact. Finally, our pitching has been very good so far this year. Were getting good performances from all of our pitchers. In the middle, the Archers (1-4) grabbed a 5-3 win. In the opener, the Jays (4-1) got their bats going early with a 2-run first inning putting together two hits (senior Jordan Bergfelds RBI single and senior Austin Reindels hit), two errors and a sacrifice fly (junior Troy Warnecke) to give junior starting pitcher Curtis Geise (1-1; 4 innings, 1 hit, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts) and junior reliever Andrew Metzger (1 IP, 2 hits) all the run support they needed. The Jays (4-1) scored in every inning: two in the first, three in both the second and the third and four in the fourth. Warnecke went 2-for-2, knocking in two runs, and Reindel (1 RBI) and classmates Cody Kundert (3 RBIs) and Ryan Densel (2 RBIs) also went 2-for-3. The Archers also seemed like they were still asleep defensively, committing five errors. Densels 2-run double in the second knocked in junior Ryan Buescher (walk and stolen base) and Metzger (error and steal), while Densel was knocked home on Bergfelds sacrifice fly to left. In the third, the Jays put together four hits including an RBI double by Reindel and a run-scoring single by Kundert to get their three runs. In the fourth, the big blow was a 2-run roundtripper Kundert (2-for-3, 3

runs batted in) to put the Jays up 12-0. Calvelage had a run-scoring triple (scoring Bergfeld) and came home on Warneckes knock to left. The only hit off Geise was a 2-out double in the third to Drew Taylor). Metzger surrendered a leadoff double in the fifth to Joe Buerkle and a 1-out single to Collin Perry. Ryan Vail (0-2) went three innings, ceding seven hits and eight runs (4 earned). Buerkle went one inning and yielded three hits and four earned runs. In the nightcap, the Jays again got great pitching, this time from Warnecke (5 IPs, 5 hits, 2 earned runs, 5 strikeouts) and Buescher (1 inning). As well, they pounded three Lancer pitchers junior Nick Leeth (0-2), sophomore Kyle Williams and junior Tyler Lovett for 18 hits and 12 earned runs. They scored three times in the second on four hits, with senior Alex Wehri (2-for-3, double, 2 RBIs; 2 runs), senior Austin Jostpille (2-for-4, 2 runs) and Densel (2-for-4) all knocking in runs. The Lancers (2-3) touched up Warnecke (3-for-4 at the plate, 2 runs scored), getting a 1-out single to Leeth, a hit-and-run single by senior Clayton Longstreth (2-for-3), a fielders-choice groundout by Williams and a run-scoring 2-bagger to sophomore Connor McCleery. However, the Jays replied with three in the home half, combining four hits all 1-out singles from Calvelage (2-for-4), Warnecke, Kundert (2-for3, 3 runs) and senior Josh Rode (2-for-3, 3 RBIs), scoring two runs and two errors. They added five runs in the fifth, sending 10 to the dish and recording seven hits. One was an RBI double by Calvelage and the big blow was a 2-run hit by Geise (2-for-4). In the sixth, the Jays finished the run-ruled game on a run-scoring single by Densel, scoring pinch-runner Metzger (running for senior pinch-hitter Isaac Klausing). In the middle game, Kayden Brummet (1-0) got the win, going 5 1/3 innings and ceding five hits, five walks and two runs (1 earned). Andy Coleman got his first save with 1 2/3 innings of relief, giving up one hit an one earned run. Sophomore Eli Farmer

(1-1) took the loss, throwing a complete game. He ceded seven hits and all five runs were earned. He walked four but fanned eight for the 2-3 Lancers. The Lancers took the 1-0 lead in the home half of the second: a leadoff walk to Williams, a sacrifice by McCleery and two errors. The Archers (1-4) went up 2-1 in the fourth, scoring twice without benefit of a hit: two walks and two errors, scoring Coleman and Shane Cline (2-for-3). It became 4-1 in the sixth as the Archers totaled up three hits including Clines RBI triple. Lincolnview made it 4-2 in the home half on an infield single by McCleery, a walk (sophomore Derek Friesner) and a knock to left by senior Brady Niese chasing Brummet for Coleman on the mound. However, Friesner was caught at home trying to score on a ball to the backstop. The Archers made it a 3-run lead in the seventh on a pair of hits, including a run-scoring single by Cline. The Lancers got a leadoff double to center by Leeth to open the home half and he scored on a groundout by Dalton Kayser and a sacrifice fly to center by Longstreth that Brummet made a sliding catch on. The first game, we didnt play very well defensively. Nor did we adjust to the speed of their pitcher; we were always hitting off our front foot and making weak contact, Lancer coach Brad Mendenhall said. The second game, St. Johns just hit the ball well; theres not much you can do when a good hitting team is on their game. Antwerp head man T.J. Hammer was glad to salvage a win. We have a lot of tired and sore arms; thats what you get when you play five games in six days, he said. Our defense was not very good today in either game; hopefully, it was just one of those days you will have in the game of baseball. The Jays visit Shawnee tonight, while Lincolnview is at Hicksville and Antwerp hosts Wayne Trace.

Bearcats split baseball twinbill with Perry SPENCERVILLE Though Perry scored only four runs total in the baseball doubleheader at Spencerville Saturday afternoon, they still managed a split, grabbing a 3-2 8-inning classic in the opener but having the Bearcats come back to pound them 10-1 in the nightcap. The Commodores took advantage of their six hits and four Spencerville miscues and scored a run in the top of the eighth. To hand Cory Smith the victory. Joel Shimp took the loss for Spencerville, who received a 3-for-4 performance at the plate by Cory Rieman. The hosts (3-4) came back with a vengeance in the nightcap, compiling 13 hits in backing Matt Youngpeters complete-game pitching performance (3 hits, 1 unearned run, 1 hit batter, 10 strikeouts).

Kansas, Kentucky to meet in power-program final

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS Kentucky has the best players. Kansas has the most heart. From the first practice in October to the final cutting of the nets in April, thats how the two teams remaining in the NCAA tournament have made a name for themselves. They meet today to decide the national championship a game between the Wildcats and their cadre of NBA-caliber talent and the Jayhawks and their unending supply of high-wire comebacks. Kentucky (37-2), in search of its eighth national title but its first since 1998, has five, maybe six, players who will be playing in the NBA soon. Most are freshmen and sophomores. None are better than Player of the Year Anthony Davis, the 6-10 freshman who had 18 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in Kentuckys 69-61 win over Louisville in the semifinals. Anthony Davis is a great player but hes not Superman, Kansas coach Bill Self said, clearly ignoring the fact that, only moments earlier, Davis had been walking around the Superdome with his practice jersey slung across his shoulders like a cape. As he has all year and all tournament, Kentucky coach John Calipari has not so much defended as explained his coaching philosophy, which is to go after the very best players and not demand they graduate but only that they play team basketball for whatever amount of time they spend in the Commonwealth

Newman wins wild finish at Martinsville Speedway

By HANK KURZ Jr. The Associated Press MARTINSVILLE, Va. Ryan Newman needed help and was running out of time. Finally, Clint Bowyer provided an opening with two laps to go at Martinsville Speedway. Bowyers aggressive move took out race leaders Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson entering the first turn, allowing Newman to slide into the lead, and he held off A.J. Allmendinger and Dale Earnhardt Jr. on another restart for his first win in 23 races. We were not a dominate race car, Newman said. Clint kind of cleared out Turn One for us and we were fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. The reverse was true for Gordon, who led 328 laps, and Johnson, who led 112. The Hendrick Motorsports teammates seemed poised to battle it out to see which one would give owner Rick Hendrick his 200th Sprint Cup victory; neither had a chance in the end. Jeff and I had been the class of the field, so I really thought it was going to be a race between the two of us and it certainly didnt turn out that way, Johnson said. He wound up 12th and Gordon was 14th. Of the restart, Johnson said: That inside lane is awfully inviting at times to divebomb on people. The No. 15 (Bowyer) threw a dive-bomb in there. Im sure once he got in there, he realized it wasnt the best idea. It turned me around. It turned the No. 24 around. Gordon angrily sought out Bowyer after the race and heard the whole story. He said he got hit from behind by the 39 (Newman), Gordon recalled. I had nowhere to go. Jimmie had nowhere to go. It was pretty unfortunate. ... I didnt want to see that last caution. We had such a great battle with (Johnson). ... It was going to be an interesting race. Thats just the way our years been going. It cant go on like this forever. Gordon improved three spots in the points standings but is still just 22nd. Newmans performance drew praise from car owner Tony Stewart. Im ecstatic for Ryan, the defending series champion said. I got to see it on the replay during the caution after all the havoc broke loose. Ryan made an awesome move to the bottom. He was heads up to get in the gas and through that hole before it closed up. Allmendinger was second, followed by Earnhardt, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. The finish overshadowed what had been a stirring duel between Gordon, a 7-time winner on the 0.526-mile oval, and Johnson, a 6-time winner. Johnson first took the lead when he passed Gordon on the 356th lap. He lost it on pit road, then passed Denny Hamlin to lead again on lap 393. He held off a modest challenge by Gordon with about 30 laps to go and then dueled side-by-side with his teammate until the caution, which came when David Reutimann ran out of gas near the entrance to turn one. Gordon, who had just nudged in front of Johnson before the yellow flag came out, was the leader, with Johnson second and everyone behind them heading to pit road for tires. What had been an atypically clean raced turned into mayhem on the restart. Earnhardt, who was in position to give Hendrick a sweep of the top three spots before the caution, said everyone being on fresh tires played a factor in the crash. Earnhardt had no issue with Bowyer for trying to take the inside line, saying thats how

even if its just a year. I dont like the rules, Calipari said. I want Anthony to come back and be my point guard next year. Its really what I want. Theres only two solutions to it. Either I can recruit players who are not as good as the players Im recruiting or I can try to convince guys who should leave to stay for me. He wont do either. By pulling no punches, the coach finds himself working with the most talent Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are likely lottery picks, while Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague and Doron Lamb are among the others with firstround potential. Calipari is a win away from the first national title of a stormy and controversial career, one that began as a volunteer assistant at Kansas. His first two trips to the Final Four have been vacated because of NCAA violations. Though his 2008 trip with Memphis is no longer in the record books, its clearly emblazoned in his memory. That team, led by Derrick Rose, had one essential flaw bad free-throw shooting and the coach dismissed it every time he was asked about it in the days and weeks

leading to his final against Self and the Jayhawks. The Tigers missed four free throws down the stretch and blew a 9-point lead in what turned into an overtime loss that gave Kansas its third NCAA title. Lessons learned? Well, Calipari does make his team run more after bad free-throw shooting nights. A year later, Cal was out of Memphis and putting the pieces in place for his run at Kentucky. It began with a trip to the Elite Eight, continued last year with a spot in the Final Four and oddsmakers have Kentucky as a 6.5-point favorite to seal the deal this year against Kansas. Doesnt bother us, Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor said. Theyve got high expectations and they had a great year so the expectations should be high. What we think, though, is that we match up with them well. We feel confident going into this game. And why not? Though the talent level may not be as strong as Kentuckys from top to bottom, the Jayhawks (32-6) get more reinforcement every game that anything is possible. On Saturday, they over-

came a 13-point deficit against Ohio State for their latest escape act. Before that in the tournament, they won close ones against Purdue, North Carolina State and North Carolina. They were comeback kids in the regular season, as well a season that began with low expectations for a roster that got hit hard by graduation and other departures, then fell to 7-3 after an ugly, unexpected home loss to Davidson. I was a little frustrated because I thought that we were underachieving, underperforming, Self said. I thought we were a stale team. I thought we were slow. I thought we didnt play with great energy. I thought the things we had to do to be successful, we werent committing to doing them. Somewhere in that mess, however, he saw the potential. Much of it shined through thanks to the development of All-American Thomas Robinson, known for his first two years in college as a role player with NBA skills. He was allowed to blossom when he got regular playing time this season and is averaging 17.7 points and 11.7 rebounds a game. He was the only unanimous AP AllAmerican and was in the conversation, along with Davis, in most of the player-of-theyear voting. We know how good Thomas Robinson is, Calipari said. We all up here know. We went against him in New York. He is as good as they get. Hes a vicious competitor, great around a rim, expanded his game.

you approach a 2-lap sprint, but was at a loss to explain Reutimanns actions. I would like an explanation on why that happened, he added of Reutimann stopping where he did after having made several troubled laps without going to the pits. There doesnt seem like there could be a logical reason for him to have to stop on the track. Reutimann explained his motor just died. I would not have stopped on the freaking racetrack. I would have limped it around there and come to pit road, which is what I was trying to do, he added. The thing quit going down the back straightaway and it shut off. I just didnt stop there intentionally. Greg Biffle, who finished 13th, remained the points leader by six over Earnhardt.

Tomorrows Horoscope
By Bernice Bede Osol
TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 2012 Someone from the past who was extremely important to you might reenter your life in the year ahead. This person had a good influence on you then and chances are will continue to do so. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -If you take on too heavy a schedule, all it would do is cut down on your proficiency. Putting too much pressure on yourself could make you feel overwhelmed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Once more, you could get yourself involved socially with someone of whom youre not too fond. Try not to dwell too much on this persons shortcomings, or problems will result. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Its going to be up to you to put a stop to an outside influence that could undermine the tranquility of your space. If you dont do anything about it, youll have to live with it. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone you know is spoiling for a fight. If you find yourself on a collision course with a very strongly opinionated person, walk away as fast as you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Thoroughly check out an expensive, purportedly long-lasting article to see if it can live up to its claims, before putting your hard-earned money down. It may not be worth it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If both you and your special someone have short fuses, make sure you keep your mouth shut when out in public. If you dont, it could lead to something very embarrassing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Try to help someone who has come to your assistance in the past. Even if this persons problems are more complex than yours, dont compare the two. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Be extremely careful about how you handle a friend who is already miffed for something you supposedly did in the past. Even if you werent at fault, turn the other cheek. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Enhance your chances for success by trying to see things through the eyes of your competitor. It could substantially increase your ability to get what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Unless you are very careful with whom you pick an argument, you could find yourself in a situation where you are completely overmatched. Be agreeable to all. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- There are strong signals telling you and your family to be extremely careful about handling your funds. You or another member could incur a debt that would be difficult to pay off. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Its OK to go to someone for advice, if you believe he or she is bright enough to help. If the other party is clueless, however, he or she could make matters much worse. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 2012 You have the same potential as anyone else to make a number of solid achievements in the year ahead. However, in order to do so, some of your methods and tactics might have to be revised a bit. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There is an abundance of opportunities around you, but unless something in particular interests you, youre likely to ignore them all. Dont let this be a do-nothing day. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Although you have an abundance of friends with whom to share the day, there is likely to be one ineffective acquaintance who will serve as a detractor. Dont let him or her spoil the fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you find yourself devoting too much time to trivial activities, put a stop to it as early in the day as you can. Once you get in gear, you can accomplish all your big objectives. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Even if your reasoning skills arent as sharp as they usually are, youll still be alert enough to get a reasonable amount done, and in a successful manner. It should be a decent day for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your chances for generating substantial material returns are excellent but, of course, it will be up to you to actually do so. Dont just talk a good game, jump in and play. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Others will verify that youre the one who is making a major contribution to a joint endeavor, yet you wont see it. Thats OK, as long as your partner recognizes it and appreciates what you do. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Trust your luck, because developments over which you seem to have little control will be the ones that shower you with the largest rewards. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Avail yourself of a new organization or club that will give you a chance to mingle and meet with a number of influential people. Some of these big shots could become your buddies. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When it comes to career-related issues, dont hide your light under a bushel. If you believe that you have a constructive idea to contribute, make your concept known. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Whether or not you believe your social life is at a high point, there are some strong indicators that it is about to get even better. Someone fascinating and dynamic is about to enter the scene. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A transformation that youve been wishing would take place is about to happen. It will not only benefit you, but your loved ones or a close buddy as well. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -You might have a hard time believing it, but if you stand back a minute you would see that it is not only the other fella who is getting all the concessions, its you too.

(Continued from page 1)

When presented the award, Elwer took the opportunity to thank others who he says were integral in the programs success. Its not about me. Its never been about me, he said. Its about the quality of

kids I have here. I teach both Jefferson and St. Johns kids but when they put on those blue coats theyre one. This is the first year Ive taught this program by myself and it was tough. Ive had great people surrounding me and thats contributed greatly to the success of this program.

Also, I have to thank my nine officers. They always say the cream rises to the top and thats certainly true with them. The work theyve done for me has made it so much easier. Elwer will be presented with his award officially in May at the State Convention.

Thousands gather at Miami rally for Trayvon Martin

By CHRISTINE ARMARIO Associated Press MIAMI Political leaders, sport stars and entertainers were among several thousand people who gathered Sunday at a Miami rally to call for an arrest in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Florida teenager by a neighborhood watch volunteer. The rally in 17-year-old Trayvon Martins hometown was one of the largest yet and drew basketball stars Alonzo Mourning and Isaiah Thomas, singers Chaka Khan and Betty Wright, politicians and civil rights leaders. Martins father, speaking briefly, promised the crowd he would not stop fighting for my Trayvon and for your Trayvon. Each and every one of us feels the pain of this family simply because Trayvon Martin could have been one of all of us, said Mourning, the former Miami Heat player. The rally came a day after thousands marched through Sanford, the central Florida town where 28-year-old George Zimmerman

Missing Maine toddler generates online discussions

PORTLAND, Maine When his wifes young granddaughter disappeared, Jeff Hanson felt helpless as the family anxiously awaited word from law enforcement authorities. He decided he needed to do something constructive as the investigation, now more than three months long, drew out. So Hanson created the first of two websites aimed at drawing attention to Ayla Reynolds, the Maine toddler who disappeared in December from her fathers home in Waterville. The original website has received more than 1 million clicks, and there are now more than a dozen websites, blogs and Facebook pages dedicated to the case of the blond, blue-eyed youngster, helping to raise awareness along with billboards, posters and other conventional means of spreading the word about missing children. We have a new information age where there are many tools available for the public to either participate or inform themselves. The websites are part of that. In this case, its all positive because it keeps her name out there, said Stephen McCausland of the Maine Public Safety Department. Ayla, whose second birthday will be celebrated Wednesday, was 20 months old when she was last seen the night of Dec. 16. She was reported missing the following morning after her father, Justin DiPietro, said he found her bed empty, prompting a massive search effort. Searchers lowered the level of several streams, and divers searched icy rivers, as well. Theyve found no sign of her. Investigators declared the disappearance a crime, disclosed that Aylas blood was found in her fathers bedroom and dismissed the possibility that Ayla was kidnapped from the small house where three adults were present. Beyond that, investigators have been mum on details.

shot and killed Martin in February. Martin was walking back from a convenience store, where he had gone to buy candy and iced tea, when he and Zimmerman got into an altercation. Zimmerman says he was attacked and has claimed self-defense; Martins family disputes his version of events. They point to 911 calls, a surveillance video of Zimmerman from shortly after the fatal shooting, and other records that they say prove Martin was not the aggressor. Zimmerman has not been arrested, though state and federal authorities are investigating. The case has led to protests across the nation and spurred a debate about race and the laws of self-defense. Martin was black; Zimmermans father is white and his mother is Hispanic. Speaking at the rally Sunday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said the case was about ending all types of racial profiling not just in criminal cases, but by banks, insurance companies and in the job market. End profiling now, the civil rights activ-

But theres plenty online, including discussions about the amount of blood found at the scene, a timeline leading to the toddlers disappearance and debates over investigative details and theories of what may have happened. Hanson originally launched AylaReynolds. com to raise awareness, and it received more than 1 million hits. Little more than a week ago, he started a new website, answersforayala.com, to give the family a place to air its thoughts and to set the record straight on details. The website reported that DiPietro took out a life insurance policy on Ayla and details about blood evidence, information police have not confirmed. But thats only the beginning. Theres another blog, justiceforayla, that reported last week about a suspicious van seen near DiPietros house, and another blog that analyzes public statements made by those involved in the case, aiming to ferret out the truth. A blog entitled JustStopTheLies aims to debunk false claims. Hanson said he passes along anonymous tips he gets to police, and he hopes that they provide information police need to bring Ayla home. He tries not to let his mind entertain the possibility that something bad happened. Im holding out for the best, Hanson said. Thats how we get by every day. Ayla was placed in her fathers care after her mother, Trista Reynolds, entered a substance abuse rehabilitation program in Lewiston, and the Reynolds family has questioned the care he provided for Ayla. After being placed in his custody, Ayla broke her arm. DiPietro said she broke it when he fell on stairs while carrying Ayla and groceries. They say Ayla suffered bruises on one occasion that DiPietro blamed on a scuffle with another child and on another occasion suffered a pulled leg muscle that the father blamed on horseplay. He didnt return a message left on his cellphone.

1940 census records include 21 million still alive

By RANDY HERSCHAFT and CRISTIAN SALAZAR Associated Press NEW YORK When the 1940 census records are released today, Verla Morris can consider herself a part of living history. Morris, who is in her 100th year, will get to experience the novelty of seeing her own name and details about her life in the records being released by the U.S. National Archives online after 72 years of confidentiality expires. Id be happy to see it there, she said. I dont think anything could surprise me, really. Morris is one of more than 21 million people alive in the U.S. and Puerto Rico who were counted in the 16th federal decennial census, which documents the tumultuous decade of the 1930s transformed by the Great Depression and black migration from the rural South. Its a distinction she shares with such living celebrities as Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. Morris, who has been working on her family history since 1969 and has written six books on its branches, said census records were essential for her genealogical work because oftentimes people dont want to give their personal information. Lots of times I just have to wait until maybe they die, she said. Then Ill have all their information. But census records, which include names, addresses and in the case of the 1940 census, income and employment information are rich

ist said to applause. Jackson also said Martins case illustrated the high number of black students who are suspended from school. A report issued by the U.S. Department of Education last month found that black students are more than three times as likely as their white peers to be suspended or expelled. Martin had been suspended from school for having a baggie that contained marijuana residue shortly before he was killed. We must stop suspending our children, Jackson said, asking the crowd to repeat: Invest in them. Educate them. Many of the people who gathered at the bayside park on a sunny afternoon wore T-shirts with Martins image and the words Justice for Trayvon. Others wore buttons that said, Do I look suspicious? One man had a Mohawk with an image of Trayvon Martin painted on one side. A marching band from a high school that the teen attended danced, sang and beat drums. Numerous supporters came dressed in

hooded sweat shirts like the one Martin was wearing when he died. Among them: Mournings 15-year-old son, Trey. It could have been me, Trey Mourning told the crowd. Grammy winner Chaka Khan said Martins death had affected her. The message I bring to you today is fear kills and love heals, she said. Martins death occurred more than a month ago, but absent an arrest, his family and others vowed to continue holding protests. Rep. Frederica Wilson organized the rally in Miami, and an attorney for Martins parents said demonstrations are being planned for in the coming weeks in cities including Los Angeles and Chicago. The Rev. Al Sharpton led the crowd in circulating buckets to collect contributions that he said would help pay for the Martins legal fees and travel. This is not a fit, Sharpton said. This is a movement.

with long-veiled personal details. Morris, who turns 100 in August and was contacted through the National Centenarian Awareness Project, said she was working as a keypunch operator in Fairfield, Ill., when the 1940 census was taken. I dont remember them taking my census, said Morris, who lives in Chandler, Ariz.

Answers to Saturdays questions: Mark Twain, in 1895, wrote a fictional biography of Joan of Arc. He used the pen name Sieur Louis de Conte, who was identified as Saint Joans page and secretary on the title page of Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren was dubbed the sex queen of Stratford for her sensual performances with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
