Firefighters train onlineCOLUMBUS (AP) —

Ohio firefighters tryingto keep up with certifica-tion requirements whilemaking good use of theirtime and money are in-creasingly using onlinetraining courses toutedby the state fire marshal.

A change in state lawtwo years ago added therequirements, sayingfirefighters and emer-gency personnel musttake 54 hours of continu-ing education coursesevery three years. Thatraised concerns amongfirefighters about the

availability of training,the cost and the burdenon their time, especiallyif the training requiredthem to travel.

The Ohio Fire Acad-emy responded by offer-ing online trainingstarting last year. TheDayton Daily News re-ports 2,700 participantsfrom more than 70 firedepartments have com-pleted courses so far.

Fire Marshal LarryFlowers says the classesare convenient but can’treplace some hands-ontraining.

Districts tosee testingestimatesCOLUMBUS (AP) —

This year’s report cardsevaluating Ohio schooldistricts are expected toinclude estimates ofhow they might per-form under tougherstate tests being imple-mented in three years.

The information isaimed at urging dis-tricts to consider howthey’d fare with thenew tests and, ifneeded, to makechanges in what they’reteaching. The Colum-bus Dispatch reportsabout 4 in 10 Ohio stu-dents would havepassed math or readingunder the new testingsystem.

Matt Cohen of theOhio Department of Ed-ucation says the per-formance estimates canshow schools wheretheir rankings couldend up if they don’tmake changes.

The state is changingthe way children andschools are evaluatedand the curriculumthey use as part of anoverhaul aimed at bet-ter preparing studentsfor college.

and deployed to Kosovoin 2004 and to Iraq in2008.“I think that Nick

found his niche,” she said.“He was an excellent offi-cer, and he cared verydeeply for his men. Hewas a natural leader.”Mitchell recalled a

out of me,” Puccio said. “Ifigured they’d be thefirst to call the cops onme.”Puccio said he had

met Sacco through Face-book while he was livingin Texas. Puccio saidSacco provided supporthe needed after his for-mer fiance left him andtook two of his children.Puccio said he and

Sacco argued often andthat their relationshipbecame more stressedbecause she didn’t getalong with Andrew For-ney and his wife, theMichigan couple whobegan living at the homeshortly after Pucciomoved in last fall.“They always argued,

always fought, never gotalong with each other,”Puccio said. “Jess wouldblow up at them for noreason. Then Jess wouldblow up at me for thingsthey were doing.”Puccio said he grew

up in Woodland, Calif.,and had been friendswith Forney for yearsbecause they attendedschool together andtheir families went tothe same church. Pucciosaid he spent the lateryears of his youth mov-

ing between relatives’homes and group homesand sometimes got intotrouble by fighting withother teens, even smash-ing one in the head witha bar stool.His account of how he

became acquainted withthe others charged in thecase contradicts infor-mation provided by po-lice, who have saidPuccio and Sacco re-cently met the Forneysonline and that thegroup members were“loose friends.”It’s tough to deter-

mine the accuracy ofPuccio’s comments be-cause authoritieshaven’t disclosed muchabout him or the case,

the News-Sun reported.Puccio has said Sacco

begged him to kill herafter he confronted herabout text messagesshe’d sent saying shewanted him dead.Friends of Sacco say

they don’t believe that.Amanda Erb, who at-tended high school withSacco, described her as asweet “goofball” with agood sense of humor whowouldn’t hurt anyone.Erb arranged a can-

Iraq: Celldismantled

NATION/WORLD Sidney Daily News,Monday,April 9,2012

BAGHDAD (AP) —Iraqi security forces havearrested members of an al-Qaida-linked insurgentcell responsible for deadlyattacks and robberies inBaghdad, a police officialsaid Sunday.Lt. Col. Nimir Sultan

Halan, the head of a policeintelligence unit, said thatthe dismantled 25-personcell belongs to Ansar al-Islam, a radical SunniArab group linked to al-Qaida. He did not saywhen the actual arresttook place.Ansar al-Islam had pre-

viously threatened to at-tack the Arab Leaguesummit in Baghdad andany political or businessofficials associated with it.The summit, held lastmonth, was almost vio-lence-free.

‘Creeky’ stillsmiling at 95BILLINGS, Mont. (AP)

— Floyd “Creeky” Creek-more is one of the quieteracts in the circus, his larger-than-life clown shoes shuf-fling methodically as heworks the crowd, ignitingsurprised giggles and slack-jawedwonder from childrenthat look up to encounterCreekmore's wrinkled eyessmiling through thickmakeup.At 95 years old, the for-

mer Montana rancher re-cently dubbed the oldestperforming clown in theworld has fewer magictricks up his oversizedsleeves than he once did.Hegave up juggling severalyears ago after a stroke, andhas long since parked thehome-made bicycle he onceincorporated into his acts.

his 90th birthday in 2008,Wal-lace continued making news,doing “60 Minutes” interviewswith such subjects as JackKevorkian and Roger Clemens.He had promised to still do oc-casional reports when he an-nounced his retirement as aregular correspondent inMarch 2006.Wallace said then that he

had long vowed to retire “whenmy toes turn up” and “they’rejust beginning to curl a trifle.…It’s become apparent tome thatmy eyes and ears, among otherappurtenances, aren’t quitewhat they used to be.”Among his later contribu-

tions, after bowing out as a reg-ular, was a May 2007 profile ofGOP presidential hopeful MittRomney, and an interviewwithKevorkian, the assisted suicidedoctor released from prison inJune 2007 who died June 3,2011, at age 83.In December 2007, Wallace

landed the first interview withClemens after the star pitcherwas implicated in the Mitchell

report on performance enhanc-ing drugs in baseball. The in-terview, in which Clemensmaintained his innocence, wasbroadcast in early January2008.Wallace was the first man

hired when late CBS news pro-ducer Don Hewitt put togetherthe staff of “60 Minutes” at itsinception in 1968. The showwasn’t a hit at first, but itworked its way up to the top 10in the 1977-78 season and re-mained there, season after sea-son, with Wallace as one of itsmainstays.Among other things,it proved there could be bigprofits in TV journalism.The top 10 streak was bro-

ken in 2001, in part due to theonset of huge-drawing rated re-ality shows. But “60 Minutes”remained in the top 25 in re-cent years, ranking 15th inviewers in the 2010-11 season.The show pioneered the use

of “ambush interviews,” withreporter and camera crew cor-ralling alleged wrongdoers inparking lots, hallways, wher-

ever a comment— or at least astricken expression—might beharvested from someone dodg-ing the reporters’ phone calls.Such tactics were phased out

over time —Wallace said theyprovided drama but not muchgood information.And his style never was all

about surprise,anyway.Wallacewas a master of the skepticalfollow-up question, coaxing hisprey with a “forgive me, but …”or a simple, “come on.” He wasknownas onewhodidhis home-work, spendinghours preparingfor interviews,andalongside theexposes, “60 Minutes” featuredinsightful talks with celebritiesand world leaders.He was equally tough on

public and private behavior. In1973, with theWatergate scan-dal growing, he sat with topNixon aide John Ehrlichmanand read a long list of allegedcrimes, frommoney launderingto obstructing justice. “All ofthis,Wallace noted, “by the lawand order administration ofRichard Nixon.”

The surly Ehrlichman couldonly respond: “Is there a ques-tion in there somewhere?”In the early 1990s, Wallace

reduced Barbra Streisand totears as he scolded her forbeing “totally self-absorbed”when she was young andmocked her decades of psycho-analysis. “What is it she is try-ing to find out that takes 20years?” Wallace said he won-dered.“I’m a slow learner,”

Streisand told him.His late colleague Harry

Reasoner once said, “There isone thing thatMike can do bet-ter than anybody else:With anangelic smile, he can ask aquestion that would get anyoneelse smashed in the face.”Wallace said he didn’t think

he had an unfair advantageover his interview subjects:“The person I’m interviewinghas not been subpoenaed. He’sin charge of himself, and helives with his subject matterevery day.All I’m armedwith isresearch.”

IN THIS picture made available by the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano, Pope Bene-dict XVI greets the faithful after the Urbi and Orbi blessing at the end of the Easter Mass inSt. Peter's Square at the the Vatican Sunday. Pope Benedict XVI in his Easter Sunday mes-sage has urged the Syrian regime to heed international calls to end bloodshed and committo dialogue. After celebrating Mass in St. Peter's Square, Benedict voiced hope that Easter'sjoy would comfort Christian communities suffering because of their faith. He denounced ter-rorist attacks in Nigeria that have hit Christians and Muslims alike and prayed for peace incoup-struck Mali. The pope struggled with hoarseness throughout the Mass before a crowdof more than 100,000 faithful. Only hours earlier he had led a three-hour nighttime Easter vigilinside St. Peter's Basilica.

Afghans,U.S. signdeal on

night raidsKABUL, Afghanistan (AP)

— The U.S. and Afghanistansigned a deal Sunday givingAfghans authority over raids ofAfghan homes, resolving one ofthemost contentious issues be-tween the two wartime allies.The majority of these raids

are nighttime operations inwhich U.S. and Afghan troopsdescend without warning onhomes or residential com-pounds searching for insur-gents.The raids are widely re-

sented by Afghans, and Presi-dent Hamid Karzai hadrepeatedly called for a halt toall night raids by internationalforces. He said for months thatthey would have to stop beforehe would sign a much-antici-pated pact governing the long-term U.S. presence inAfghanistan.Both countries have said

that they wanted that biggerdeal signed before the NATOsummit in May, so the nightraids agreement announcedSunday makes hitting thatdeadline possible.Karzai has argued that

night raids by internationaltroops make civilian casualtiesmore likely and that U.S. sol-diers are disrespectful in theway they conduct the opera-tions.TheU.S.military has saidsuch operations are essentialfor intelligence gathering andfor capturing Taliban and al-Qaida commanders.Sunday’s deal appeared to

be a compromise: a panel ofAfghan security officials get au-thority to decidewhat raidswilltake place and U.S. forces stillplay a large part in operations,including entering Afghanhomes if needed. The Ameri-cans also now have an Afghanpartner that will be heldequally to account if there arecivilian casualties or allega-tions of mistreatment.The resolution of this dis-

pute is a key step toward final-izing the long-term “strategicpartnership” to govern U.S.forces in Afghanistan after themajority of combat forces leavein 2014. The long-term pact isseen as important for assuringthe Afghan people that theywill not be abandoned by theirinternational allies.Similar agreements with

otherNATOnationswould alsohave been endangered if onehad not been signed with theUnited States.The memorandum was

signed in front of reporters byAfghan Defense Minister Gen.Abdul Rahim Wardak and thecommander of U.S. forces, Gen.John Allen.“This is a landmark day in

(the) rule of law,” Allen told re-porters. He said that Afghansare now “in the lead on two ofthemost important issues: cap-turing the terrorists and ensur-ing they remain behind bars.”

Pope marks Easter with callfor end of Syria violence

VATICAN CITY (AP) —Pope Benedict XVI imploredthe Syrian regime Sunday toheed international demands toend the bloodshed and ex-pressed hope that the joy ofEaster will comfort Christiancommunities suffering becauseof their faith.Benedict, struggling with

hoarseness and looking tired,celebrated Mass on Christian-ity’s most joyous holy day onthe flower-adorned steps of St.Peter’s Basilica, before a crowdof faithful that swelled to farover 100,000 by the end of the2-hour-long ceremony.Only hours earlier the pon-

tiff, who turns 85 on April 16,had led a long nighttime vigilservice in the church. Therehave been concerns over hishealth, and he has recentlyused a cane in public appear-ances. He no longer walksdown the basilica’s long aisle,traveling instead aboard awheeled platform pushed byaides.At the end of Sunday’s

Mass, Benedict moved to thebasilica’s central balcony toread his Easter message “tothe entire world,” as he put it,delivering a ringing appeal forpeace in Iraq, Syria and else-where in the Middle East, andin Africa, citing coup-struckMali and Nigeria, whereChristians and Muslims alikehave been hit by terrorist at-tacks.“May the risen Christ grant

hope to the Middle East andenable all the ethnic, culturaland religious groups in that re-gion to work together to ad-vance the common good andrespect for human rights,” thepope said.“Particularly in Syria, may

there be an end to bloodshed

and an immediate commit-ment to the path of respect, di-alogue and reconciliation, ascalled for by the internationalcommunity,” Benedict said,making Syria the first of sev-eral strife-torn countries hementioned in his traditional“Urbi et Orbi” (Latin for “to thecity and to the world”) Easterspeech.The Syrian government on

Sunday appeared to be backingout of a cease-fire deal aimed atending the country’s crisis, say-ing that it will not withdraw itstroops from cities without writ-ten guarantees from armedgroups that they also will lay

down their weapons. U.N. esti-mates put the number of deadin that conflict at some 9,000since it began in March 2011.Benedict also lamented that

many Syrians who have fledthe conflict are enduring“dreadful sufferings” andprayed that they would receivewelcome and assistance.Underlining the pope’s con-

cern for the Middle East, theHoly See said Sunday the popewould make a three-day pil-grimage to Lebanon in Sep-tember, celebrating Mass inBeirut and encouraging bish-ops and other churchmen inthe Middle East.

BEIRUT (AP) — A U.N.-brokered plan to stop thebloodshed in Syria effec-tively collapsed Sundayafter President BasharAssad’s government raisednew, last-minute demandsthat the country’s largestrebel group swiftly rejected.The truce plan, devised

by U.N.-Arab League envoyKofi Annan, was supposedto go into effect on Tuesday,with a withdrawal of Syrianforces from population cen-ters, followed within 48hours by a cease-fire byboth sides in the uprisingagainst four decades of re-pressive rule by the Assadfamily.But on Sunday, Syria’s

Foreign Ministry said thatahead of any troop pullback,the government needs writ-ten guarantees from opposi-tion fighters that they will

lay down their weapons.The commander of the

rebel Free Syrian Army,Riad al-Asaad, said thatwhile his group is ready toabide by a truce, it does notrecognize the regime “andfor that reason we will notgive guarantees.”Annan’s spokesman had

no comment on the setback.The envoy has not said whatwould happen if his dead-lines were ignored.Even before the setback,

expectations were low thatthe Assad regime wouldhonor the agreement.Russia, an Assad ally that

supports the cease-fire plan,may now be the only oneable to salvage it. The rest ofthe international commu-nity, unwilling to contem-plate military intervention,has little leverage overSyria.

Syria scuttles truce planwith new demands

I don’t love my stepfatherDR. WAL-

LACE: I am 14and live withmy mother andmy stepfather,who hasadopted me,and now I usehis last name.My mom wasyoung when shehadme, and shewasn’t married.My biologicalfather said hewas too young to get mar-ried, and he didn’t wantanything to do with me.When I was 5,my mothermarried my stepfather. Ido not like him, becausehe is always lecturing meabout the bad things thatcan happen if I smoke,drink or do drugs.

Sometimes when mymom says yes after I askher whether I can dosomething or go some-where, my stepfather willsay no, and then the finaldecision is always no. Ihave always wonderedwho my real dad is be-cause maybe I’d like tolive with him and be ridof my stepfather. I lovemy mom, but not mystepfather. When I askmy parents whether theywill let me meet my real

dad, they alwayssay no. I’m oldenough to knowwho my real dadis. What should Ido about myproblem? —Stacy,Hammond,Ind.

STACY: Areyou sure your bi-ological fatherwould want youto live with him?It’s natural that

you are curious aboutwho and where your bio-logical father might be,and I’d encourage you tofind out, but wait untilyou are not living athome — or at least untilyou are 18. Being a step-parent is not an easychore. Your stepfatherhas accepted you as hisdaughter, and I’m sure heis doing what he thinks isbest for you.Maybe whenyou are 18, you might un-derstand the total picturemore clearly.

DR. WALLACE: I’vebeen using smokeless to-bacco (snuff) for about ayear, especially when I’mplaying baseball. I knowthat smoking causes lungcancer sometimes, andI’ve been told that smoke-less tobacco can cause

cancer of the mouth, butI’ve never read about amajor league ballplayercomplaining about thecancer scare, and a lot ofprofessional ballplayersuse smokeless tobacco.Do you have any informa-tion on smokeless to-bacco? — Ted, Phoenix

TED: Researchers atthe University of Califor-nia surveyed hundreds ofprofessional ballplayersduring spring training,and they found a stronglink between lesions inthe mouth and the use ofsmokeless tobacco. Thestudy surveyed pro play-ers with a smokeless to-bacco habit.

The research teamconcluded that thechance of developing pre-cancerous lesions is 225times greater amongusers of chewing tobaccoand snuff than amongnonusers. The re-searchers interviewedplayers about their to-bacco use and conducteddental exams duringyearly physicals. Oral le-sions were present in 46percent of the playerswhowere current users ofsmokeless tobacco, com-pared with less than 2percent in nonusers.

DAYTON — Accord-ing to statistics providedby Dayton Children’sMedical Center, eachyear more than one mil-lion children are abusedin the U.S.One in four girls and

one in six boys will besexually assaulted be-fore the age of 18. In2010, an estimated 1,560children died from abuseand neglect in the U.S.and in 2011, more than1,100 child abuse caseswere seen in Dayton byCARE House, Child Ad-vocacy Center of WarrenCounty and Michael’sHouse.April is National

Child Abuse PreventionMonth, a time to raiseawareness about childabuse and neglect and toencourage individualsand communities to sup-port children and fami-lies, as well as educatethem about this issue.The Dayton area has

three child advocacy cen-ters (CACs). CAREHouse (MontgomeryCounty), the Child Advo-cacy Center of WarrenCounty and Michael’sHouse (Greene County)all partner with TheChildren’s Medical Cen-ter of Dayton to put theneeds of abused childrenfirst.With the number of

child abuse cases seen inrecent years, these cen-ters have been active inhelping to reduce childabuse numbers and in-form the communityabout its prevalence.“Children need pro-

tection, sometimes evenfrom the people theyshould be able to trustthe most,” said LibbyNicholson, director ofCARE House.Often, abuse is some-

thing that cannot be pre-vented, unless detectedearly on. It’s importantto know what signs tolook for and how to keepchildren safe if they areever put in an abusivesituation.• Take an active role

in children’s lives, theiractivities, and the adultsinvolved.

• Listen carefully andsensitively to everythingyour child says.• Do not interrogate

your child. Instead, cre-ate an environmentwhere communication iscomfortable and natural.• Teach children im-

portant skills to helpthem protect them-selves. Make sure theyknow they can talk toyou about anythingthat’s bothering them orif they feel mixed-up orconfused, especiallywhen it comes to touch-ing issues.• Take some time to

teach your children thecorrect names for theirbody parts. It’s especiallyimportant to informthem which ones aretheir “private parts.”• If a person is mak-

ing your children feel“funny” or “uncomfort-able,” teach them to tellsomeone they trustabout their feelingsDetermining whether

or not a child is beingabused can be difficult;however, there is a hugedifference between ordi-nary scrapes andscratches and bruisesthat keep appearing,black eyes and brokenbones.There are some signs,

like a children’s emo-tional health, that canspark a red flag thatthey might be beingabused. These signs in-clude:• Constant sadness or

anger. Kids who arebeing abused may actfearful, depressed or de-velop low self-esteem.• Relationship trou-

bles. Those who areabused usually havetrouble developing andmaintaining relation-ships. They are often un-able to love or trustothers, especially adults,whom they may be fear-ful of.• Acting up or engag-

ing in risky behavior.Kids who are beingabused will at times actup, especially in theclassroom setting. Theymay lose interest in ac-tivities they once loved

or lose focus on theirschoolwork. Drug and al-cohol abuse, as well assexual promiscuity, arealso common.There are many mis-

conceptions about childabuse, from who abusesto how often and whyabuse occurs. Here arefive of the most commonmyths and facts aboutchild abuse.1. Myth: Only

strangers are abusers.Fact: In approxi-

mately 90 percent ofcases, the victim knowsthe offender. The major-ity of victims are abusedby someone they trust,usually a relative, familymember, family friend,or babysitter.2. Myth: The majority

of victims tell someoneabout the abuse.Fact: Only one-third

of all victims tell theirparents or an adult forfear of being blamed,punished or accused oflying.3. Myth: Family sex-

ual abuse happens onlyin low-income families.Fact:Abuse crosses all

classes of society. Noracial, social or economicclass is immune toabuse.4. Myth: Men and

women abuse childrenequally.Fact: While females

are subject to childabuse, current data indi-cates men are the perpe-trators in the majority ofcases. However, expertsbelieve that female per-petrators are more com-mon than firstsuspected.5. Myth: Child abuse

is often an isolated inci-dent, only occurringonce.Fact: Abuse is seldom

a one time incident.

Once a child is abused,incidents are often re-peated over periods ofmonths or years, espe-cially if the offender isknown by the child or afamily member.What can parents do

if it happens?If you suspect or a

child opens up to youabout being abused:• Believe the child.

Children don’t usuallymake up stories of sex-ual abuse. When theyare courageous enoughto tell you what theproblem is, believe themand immediately takeaction.• Be careful with

questions.Try to find outas much as you canabout what happened,but avoid leading ques-tions.• Get help for the

child. If the child wassexually or physicallyabused make sure he orshe is taken to your localhospital or doctor. Also,contact your local CAC.The child may be morelikely to open up tosomeone who knows ex-actly how to handle achild abuse case.• Report it. Contact

Child Protective Serv-ices or your local policedepartment immediatelyif you suspect that achild is being abused.Several child advo-

cacy centers exist insouthwest Ohio: CAREHouse in Dayton,Michael’s House in Fair-born, Child AdvocacyCenter of WarrenCounty in Middletown,Clark County Child Ad-vocacy Center, in Spring-field and MayersonCenter for Safe andHealthy Children inCincinnati.A children’s advocacy

center (CAC) is a child-focused, facility-basedprogram in which repre-sentatives from manydisciplines — law en-forcement, child protec-tion, prosecution,mentalhealth, medical and vic-tim advocacy — work to-gether, conducting childinterviews and makingjoint decisions about theinvestigation, treatment,management and prose-cution of child abusecases.A core belief in chil-

dren’s advocacy centersis that the combined wis-dom and professionalknowledge of profession-als of different disci-plines will result in amore complete under-standing of case issuesand the most effective,child- and family-fo-cused system response.The CAC model is nowconsidered the best prac-tice model for the inves-tigative and delivery oftreatment services of

abused and neglectedchildren.For a complete listing

of child advocacy centersin Ohio and nationwide,log on to www.nca-on-line.org.Dayton Children’s is

the region’s only medicalfacility dedicated to car-ing for infants, childrenand teens.Consistently recog-

nized as one of the coun-try’s top pediatrichospitals, Dayton Chil-dren’s provides medicaltreatment, advice andinformation for childrenand families from 20Ohio counties and east-ern Indiana.

My how the world ischanging! I just spent ahalf a day waiting in lineat a cookbook-authorsigning for a rancher’swife who started her ca-reer as a farm blogger.This, friends is the powerof social media!I have no link to this

lady other than what Ihave learned from heronline narration of herfamily’s life on theirOklahoma ranch, but Ifeel like she is my neighbor. Herconnection to her not just hun-dreds, but thousands of followersis the simple step of communicat-ing what they do on their farmand the universal love of food onour plates.Today, we are facing a new

world of communication betweenfarmers and consumers, and weare all getting an education in theprocess. I still have plenty of peo-ple around me who say NO WAYto this type of communication or

computers in general,but the vast majority ofthe world is already par-ticipating in these typesof activates and it ismaking a difference.The ability for any-

body to immediatelypost, share and discussinformation with aworldwide online audi-ence is quickly exposingus to new “trustworthy”sources of information. Itwasn’t long ago that our

food safety, sources and integritywere unquestionable.According to the Center for

Food Integrity, the amount of peo-ple who trust local TV news asthe most credible source on foodsystem issues plummeted 33 per-cent in the past year, while news-paper credibility dropped 17percent. Websites, on the otherhand, increased in trustworthi-ness by 52 percent!If you’re a farmer today, you

are also part of this transition.

As we enter anew growingseason, produc-ers with land(farms, fields, fil-ter strips, quailhabitat buffers,and waterways)enrolled in theConservat ionReserve Pro-gram (CRP) arereminded of their con-tract obligation to estab-lish and properlymaintain a protective andacceptable land cover atall times.

MaintenanceA maintenance guide

and CRP provisions wereprovided to each partici-pant at the time of pro-gram enrollment.After the initial or year

of seeding, “cosmetic” orperiodic mowing is pro-hibited. The intent of theCRP is to maintain agrass cover, control ero-sion and enhance the pro-liferation of wildlife.CRP areas shall not be

mowed or clipped duringthe primary wildlife-nest-ing and brood-rearingseason (March 1 – July15) except to control nox-ious weeds (Canada this-tle, Johnson grass, poisonhemlock, wild mustard,etc) or other severe weedinfestations. A producermust request permission(written or telephone)and the County Commit-tee authorize approval tomow or spot treat noxious

weeds duringthe nesting sea-son. Sprayingthe affected areawith approvedherbicide(s) isalso a permittedma in tenancepractice.Land enrolled

in the CP-33Quail Habitat

Buffer shall have no traf-fic, mowing (with the ex-ception of weed control),other encroachment, etc.,on these buffer strips. AllCP-33 acres are seeded towarm season grasses andrequire special manage-ment.Any questions or clari-

fication of CRP landmaintenance may be di-rected to the FSA office orNRCS district conserva-tionist. The County Com-mittee will assesspenalties, terminate acontract or determine areduction of annualrental payments for par-ticipants violating theprogram rules. Spotchecks will be conductedto monitor CRP compli-ance.

ReconstitutionThe final date to re-

quest a farm reconstitu-tion, effective for thiscurrent program year, isJune 1.Any change of land

ownership that includesall or a partial sale of thefarm acreage, sale ofbuilding lots, family

name transfers, tractsplit, etc., should bepromptly reported to thecounty office. A reconsti-tution (combining or di-viding) for current yearprogram participationmay be required.A copy of the real es-

tate deed, documentingtransfer of a title or own-ership, and survey, if ap-plicable, shall also beprovided to FSA. A re-quest for a farm reconsti-tution should besubmitted as soon as pos-sible to allow timely pro-cessing and completionby the FSA county office.

Fruit, vegetableAny producer who in-

tends to plant fruitsand/or vegetables (FAV)on base ace age-enrolledin the Annual DirectCountercyclical Payment(DCP) or Average CropRevenue Election(ACRE) program shouldcontact the county officeprior to seeding or plant-ing. Special provisionsapply to this situationand could result in anacre for acre reduction ofthe DCP/ACRE partici-pation and program pay-ment(s).

Failed wheatProducers with

acreages of failed soft redwinter (SRW) wheat areencouraged to report thisloss to the county office.Form CCC-576 Notice ofLoss and form FSA-578,

Report of Acreage shouldbe completed prior to de-stroying the crop. In theevent of a crop disastercompensation program,or to document plantedacreage history credit, arecord of the plantedacreage would be docu-mented.If the crop is insured,

the producer should con-tact the insurance com-pany for advice andinstructions for the failedacreage. The field(s) mayneed to be appraised.

Farm safetyDuring this planting

season and busy springwork on the farm, resolveto work safely and thinksafety at all times! Re-member the ABCs: Al-ways be careful!Be especially careful

while transporting equip-ment on the public road-ways. Theslow-moving-vehicle(SMV) emblem should beclean and properly dis-played. The lighting sys-tems, as required by theOhio Revised Code,should also be in placeand functional.In these ensuing

weeks, farm safely, thinkbefore acting and be at-tentive! Don’t’ become astatistic.

PIQUA — By lookingat her newly finishedEaster paintings, TheStations of the Cross, youwould never haveguessed that local artistCarolyn Stevens isnearly blind. Stevens’ lat-est and perhaps last proj-ect is that of 14 separatewatercolor paintings ofthe scenes of the lastseven hours of Jesus’ life,prior to resurrection,which will be perma-nently hung at St.Mark’sEpiscopal Church in Sid-ney.The intricate detail

and capture of emotion inJesus’ face are amazingconsidering that Stevensmust use speciallyadapted magnifyingglasses and even tilt herhead to the side to viewwhere she is placing herpoint for drawing out-lines prior to painting.Stevens said she was

approached by herchurch to recommend anartist-friend to paint TheStations of The Cross,“which are particularlyused during the period ofLent,” so she suggestedherself. She admits thathaving her work perma-nently placed at St.Mark’s is “a big deal” andthat even the EpiscopalChurch Life magazinehas contacted her for aninterview. She also con-fesses it would be verycostly for the church topay an artist for this se-ries of work, and to matand frame the art out tothe 16-by-20 size, but sheis not charging a cent.“Being able to do this

(paint) has been a gift tome, and so I’m just re-turning the gift,” saidStevens, in very matter-of-a-fact manner.Stevens has been

working on the paintingspractically non-stop forthe last four weeks andsays that she had untilEaster Sunday to com-plete two final scenes inorder to make the dead-line that she set for her-self. Unfortunately, overthe last 20 years, Stevenshas been slowly goingblind, with more rapidmacular degenerationover the last 28 months.She knew that any dayshe could wake up withher remaining, limitedeyesight completely gone,so she set a goal for her-self to have the paintingsfinished by this Easter.“I’m the one that set

that deadline, they didn’t— they didn’t expect any-thing like this many, thissoon.That was a surpriseto them. One womansaid, ‘I thought it wouldbe next year. I didn’tknow it would be thissoon,’” Stevens declared.

Stevens said althoughshe has several examplesof the stations by otherartists, she certainlyfound ways to makethese scenes her own per-sonal interpretation. Inalmost every scene, withthe exception of Jesus’mother, the Virgin Mary,only Jesus’ face portraysan expression; the othersdepicted have basicallyblank faces. Also, unlikeother interpretations ofThe Stations, Stevens feltthat it was very impor-tant to include the crownof thorns, which causedChrist’s head to bleed, aswell as a tear-drop ofblood on Jesus’ face ineach scene.She admits to strug-

gling with one of the finalscenes in particular, be-cause of the difficult sub-ject matter of paintingJesus being nailed to thecross. She recalls that amember of her church

asked if she cried whilepainting these emotionalscenes, and while tryingto find a way to describeher plan for depictingJesus being put on thecross, Stevens indeed be-gins to choke up.“This is a tough sub-

ject. I can’t do it. I justcan’t do it. I can’t depictanybody nailing anyoneto a piece of wood. I’llhave to figure out some-thing. I’ve tried severaldifferent things, and it’snot working for me, but,it’ll come; it’ll come tome,” Stevens said, withemotion.Despite being stuck il-

lustrating scene 11,Stevens describes the en-tire project as “so pleas-urable,” and says thatshe was “relieved thatthey liked it” when shetook a sample to thechurch to show the direc-tion she taking for thepaintings. Sadly however,

Local artist Carolyn Stevens is holding three of her 14 watercolor paintings ofThe Stations of the Cross, which are a series of scenes that depict the lastseven hours of Jesus’ life. Stevens’ work will be permanently displayed at herchurch, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Sidney beginning Easter Sunday.

Artist paints last work for Eastershe says that this may beher last work since hereyesight is rapidly deteri-orating, and says thatshe is not buying anymore supplies and hasbeen giving away whatshe has left in her studio.Stevens, who has been

painting since she wasyoung also is a retirednurse, and writes a bi-weekly column in theGolden Years section ofthe Piqua Daily Call.

Stevens’ interpreta-tion of The Stations ofThe Cross, were viewedEaster Sunday at St.Mark’s Episcopal Churchin Sidney. The paintingswere temporarily hungon dowel pins in thesanctuary.St. Mark’s Episcopal

More dads leading PTA groups in OhioCOLUMBUS (AP) —

At one time, RobertRagland equated mem-bership in a ParentTeacher Association with“baking cookies andcakes.”Then his son, Robert

Jr., started the first gradeatWest Franklin Elemen-tary School.The dad followed his

wife’s lead by joining the

PTA at the Hilltop school— and soon discoveredhow off-base his view hadbeen.“They said, if we

helped fix up the play-ground, they would feedus,” a chuckling Raglandrecalled. “And we’re men— which means we liketools and we love to eat.”Sixteen years later —

after stints as treasurer,

vice president and presi-dent of various PTAs —Ragland serves as chair-man of the Ohio PTA’sMen Organized To RaiseEngagement committee.“I just liked being a

hands-on dad and goingin and doing whatneeded to be done,” saidRagland, who works inthe finance departmentat the Defense Supply

Center Columbus.The committee was

founded in 2008 by theNational PTA, a 5.5 mil-lion-member organizationbased in Arlington, Va.,that has worked for yearsto try to increase male in-volvement in children’seducation — and, specifi-cally, to get more men in-volved in PTA leadershiproles.

Conversely, if you begin toeffect some last- minute changes,you’re likely to fall flat.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Yourgenerous supply of ingenious ideasand loads of enthusiasm will count forlittle if you lack the discipline to fin-ish what you begin. Make sure thatyou’re a finisher.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Usuallyyou’re an excellent judge of character,but this fine quality is apt to desertyou, and you could back the very peo-ple you should most avoid.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) —When itcomes to a situation that calls for afirm stance and sticking to what youbegan, you could be convinced to takea different tack by someone who isway off course.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Continu-ously check every detail of your workand/or the efforts of those under yourcharge. Be careful not to let someonewho has a tendency to rush a job callthe shots.SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Tryingto mix business with pleasure couldmake for a poor combination, so it isadvisable to stick with one or theother.

The 3 evils that cause acne

Teen in throes of depression knows she has to get help

DEAR DR.DONOHUE: Ihave a gorgeous1 9 - y e a r - o l ddaughter who hasacne.We hear it isdue to heredityand hormones.We go to a derma-tologist and getfair results.Tetra-cycline doesn’twork. We hearbirth-control pillsare good.Any sug-gestions? — J.P.

ANSWER: An attackon acne centers on oil pro-duction, clogged skinpores and the bacteriumP. acnes. Heredity has ahand, but heredity has aninfluence onmostmedicalconditions.Oil productionis linked to the productionof male hormones.Women do make them.Puberty is the age atwhich all hormone pro-duction goes into highgear. Acne pretty wellpeaks between the ages of15 and 19 and usually isgone by age 25, but not al-ways.

The skin poreis the home of oilglands and hair.The hair can be sodelicate that it’snot seen. Malehormones in-crease the produc-tion of oil. Theexcess oil solidi-fies in the poreand plugs it. Asthe production ofoil continues, thepore bursts andspreads oil mate-

rial and bacteria into theadjacent skin.A pimple isborn.

Mild acne often yieldsto topical treatment.“Top-ical” indicates that medi-cine is applied directly tothe skin. Benzoyl perox-ide, an over-the-counterliquid, has an antibacter-ial effect and can be ap-plied twice daily. It’s oftenused in conjunction withretinoids. Retin-A is sucha drug and comes as acream, gel or lotion.

For more-severe acne,topical antibiotics likeCleocin and erythromycin

are added to the program.The birth-control pill is

an excellent idea. It cutsdown oil production.

In resistant acne, oralantibiotics are prescribed.Tetracycline is one, butnot the only one. Doxycy-cline in a 20-mg dose, farlower than used for bacte-rial infections, controlsthe inflammation of acneand is quite useful andsafe.

One aspect of femaleacne is worth considering.If female acne doesn’t re-spond to medicines and ifa girl is in or approachingher 20s, the girl should bechecked for the level ofmale hormone in herblood. She could have aseparate condition that’scausing its overproduc-tion.

DEAR DR. DONO-HUE: I am 70 and a re-cent CT scan of myabdomen revealed I haveintestinal malrotation.It’s the first I learnedabout it. Does it subjectme to any health risk? —N.S.

ANSWER: Malrota-tion, the position of partsof the digestive tract onthe opposite to normalside of the abdomen, canlead to two complications:twisting of the intestine(volvulus) and obstructionof the tract. Both requireimmediate surgical cor-rection. Most occurrencesof these complicationsoccur in infancy.You havelive 70 years with malro-tation and haven’t had asingle symptom. You arenot likely ever to haveany trouble from it.

Malrotation occursduring fetal life.

DEAR ABBY:I really need somefeedback. When Iwas 13, I wouldcut myself. Istopped around15 after an at-tempted overdosethat didn’t work. Idid it because myparents werestressed due tomoney problemsand ignoredme oryelled at me a lot.I was also bullied inschool. I had just movedhere, so there was no oneto turn to.

Suddenly, in the lastweek, I have begun bingeeating. I see no hope forme graduating, no hopefor my life or my future. I

wake up wantingto go back to sleepor overdose. Mywrists havethrobbed at thethought of want-ing to cut again,and last night Ihad a dream ofjumping off abuilding.All day Ihave had thesame daydream ofhitting theground. I cry ran-

domly for no reason. Ihave thought of multipleways to kill myself.

This just started. Ican’t see why I can’t behappy.My brother is com-ing home fromAfghanistan. I should beecstatic.

I plan on talking to acounselor tomorrow be-cause I am not sure howto handle this. I don’twant to get into such astate that I’ll let myselfoverdose again. Thankyou for your time. I justneed some guidance onhow to handle this. —WAVERING GIRL INWATERTOWN,N.Y.

DEAR WAVERINGGIRL: You are also asmart girl to be reachingout for help. I hope by thetime you read this youwill have spoken to a

counselor about yourfeelings, because it ap-pears you are sufferingfrom a severe depression,which can impair a per-son’s judgment.

Being bullied at schooland worried about gradu-ating would be enough totrigger it. The behaviorsyou describe mean youneed to talk to — andprobably be medicated by— a mental health careprofessional.

If you had given meyour phone number, Iwould have talked withyou personally about this— and,with your permis-sion, spoken to your par-ents about it. Yourcounselor can help youreach out for the help youneed, but if you experi-ence more suicidal im-pulses, please contact theNational Suicide Preven-tion Lifeline by calling(800) 273-8255.

DEAR ABBY: I workfor a small company. Em-ployees here bring intreats to share and leavethem in our break area soco-workers can helpthemselves. One em-ployee, “Karen,” sits at adesk that is very near thelounge, and snaps to at-tention when anyonewalks by with treats inhand. Then she jumps upand follows them into thelounge, where she lingersuntil the snacks areready.

She’ll hover over thetrays of whatever is beingofferedwhile eating “sam-ples.” Then she takes ahuge helping and standsnearby while she eats it.She follows that up by

taking more back to herdesk. It’s annoying to seea plate of cookies or a panof brownies that werebrought to share witheveryone gobbled down byone person.

Karen earns a goodsalary. She certainly hasenough money to buy herown food. So,Abby,what’sa good way to tell her tostop? — MISSING MYCOOKIES IN ERIE, PA.

DEAR MISSINGYOUR COOKIES: Trythis. The next time one ofyou brings a treat to theoffice, put a sign next to itthat reads, “One to a cus-tomer, please,” or tell“Miss Piggy” in plain Eng-lish that she’s taking toomuch of a good thing.

A weak disturbancepasses through theMiamiVal-ley today. Thismeans we’llsee an in-crease incloud coverthroughoutthe day anda chancefor a few scattered showers.Bring along the umbrella justin case. Enjoy the highs onMonday in the lower 60's be-cause cooler air filters downfrom Canada dropping highsto the upper 40's for Tuesday.Long range computer modelssuggest we have anotherwarm up on the way for theend of the week and nextweekend.

The Ghost in theCourthouse Statue

Written byBill BaileyIllustrated by

Michelle Duckworth

Chapter 2Spooky incident rocks bullies

STORY SO FAR: Donnie thinks there'sa ghost inside the statue ofJefferson's town hero, FelixLaBauve. Donnie and his puppet,Humpty, play good cop, bad copwith the statue to try to get a reac-tion. When Donnie cleans off thestatue, he hears a mysterious voicesay, "Merci."

I was too stunned to move.Felix LaBauve's statue had actuallyspoken... and in French!

That's when I heard the gig-gling and realized how stupid I'dbeen.

I didn't even turn around,because I knew who it was. A gangof the orneriest kids you ever saw,whose main goal in life was tomake my life awful - MontyMcGarrity, Rodger Patton, andShannon Pilant.

I was surprised, because theseguys were too dumb to speakEnglish right, much less French.But one of them must have some-how wrapped his mouth around the word"merci."

"Hey, Donnie Dum Dum," Monty said."Who ya talkin' to?"

I just waited. The less said the better."You talking to that statue or your dumb

dummy?" Rodger sneered.I turned to face them. That's when I real-

ized that Lolly Baker, the head cheerleaderand the coolest girl in our class, was stand-ing nearby. I figured that she had been onher way to the courthouse where her momworked, when she had heard the guys'taunts. That was partly good, but mostlybad.

Good because I had a crush on her.Afterall, she was drop-dead beautiful with herblonde pigtails and seemed to like me. Ismiled and gave her a chin-nod. She twid-dled her fingers at me in a cute, little wave.

Bad because I must have looked souncool, playing by myself with an egg-shaped puppet, while these guys hung outtogether and swaggered the way popularjocks do. And double-bad because theywould be extra-mean to me to show off forher. I couldn't let them bully me in front ofher. As Mom would say, I needed to "manup."

"Humpty's smarter than all three of youput together," I shot back.

"But can he catch?" asked Monty. Thequestion sounded harmless enough. But ifyou knew Monty and saw the gleam in hiseyes, you knew it meant trouble. He was thebest pitcher in school, with an arm like acannon. He could throw the ball harder,faster, and straighter than anyone in school.

"Depends on what you throw," I said,with fake confidence to impress Lolly. Iheld Humpty up with his hand out.

"How about a nerd-seeking missile?"

Monty said, rearing back with a big rock inhis hand.

"Monty, don't!" Lolly screamed.But he fired the sharp rock right at me.

With one arm stuck in Humpty's back, Iwasn't quick enough to block it.

That's when something really strangehappened. Zooming right at my head onesecond, the rock took a sudden, sharp turnand smashed into the statue instead. Thenlike a yo-yo on a string, it came shootingback at Monty and stopped in mid-flight,just inches from his nose. It floated there for

a moment, then dropped to the ground.Howling like wild dogs, the guys took

off. They raced across the courthouse lawnand past the newspaper office on thesouth side of the town square, just asmy mom stepped out of its front doorto call for me. Everyone said mymomwas a real looker - tall with darkhair. Even the kids at school thoughtshe was a knockout. But this time thekids didn't have time to notice.

"Watch out, Miss Hutch!" Rodgerhollered. "Donnie's got powers!"

"He flung a spell on a rock!"Monty yelled.

"That rock was about to hitMonty in the face," Shannon added."Then it just stopped like someoneslammed on the brakes."

A few feet behind the guys, Lollyyelled without breaking stride, "Hey,Miss Hutch. Donnie's okay. I'm real-ly glad he didn't get hurt."

"What?"Mom yelled to the backsof the kids as they flew past. "Youguys aren't making any sense." Sheturned and stared at Humpty, the stat-ue, and me, then shook her head likeshe was ridding it of cobwebs.

"Uh-oh, here comes trouble,"Humpty said. Mom marched towardus in a way that meant business. "Ifshe finds out you've been talking tothe ghost again, you've had it,"Humpty said. She had really been onmy case lately about my "overactiveimagination" and my "pretendfriends."

As she got closer, I whispered toHumpty. "Not a word. Let me handlethis." I put a finger to his lips.

"Those guys acted like they'd

seen a ghost," Mom said. Humpty let out agiggle, and I jammed a hand over hismouth.

"Oh, that? That was nothing," I said.Trying to change the subject, I asked, "Whatare we having for supper?"

She didn't take the bait. "First, tell mewhat caused all this uproar," she said.

"Well, you see, Monty threw a rock atme and -"

"- He what?" she said. "Donnie, this hasgot to stop." She whipped out her cellphone. "I'm calling his mother."

"Mom, cool it. It's okay.""No, it's not okay," she

said. "Someone's going toget hurt. And I'm afraid thatsomeone is you."

"Don't worry, Mom. Itbackfired on them."

Humpty snickered again.Glaring at Humpty, I

said, "The rock bounced offthe statue and almost hitMonty in the head."

"It spooked them,"Humpty said. I gave himanother stern look.

"You mean that's what allthis is about?" Mom asked.

"You think I've got a bigimagination, Mom. Theseguys are ten times worse."

Her concern changed to asmile. She pocketed her cellphone. "So the bullies gottheir payback." Lookingfrom Humpty to me, she

said, "I worry about you.You know that?""I'm fine," I said. "You worry too

much."

"Look," she said, hervoice turning serious. "I know things havebeen tough ever since your dad left. But thatwas a year ago. Life goes on. I want you toplay with other kids."

She turned to walk back to the newspa-per office. "I'm going to work a little longer.If the new editor shows up, come get me.Okay?"

"Sure," I said. "What do you hear aboutthis guy?"

"All I know is he's Mr. Elder's nephew -some kind of hotshot tabloid reporter fromup north," she said.

Since Mr. Elder died of a heart attackthree months ago, the newspaper had beenwithout an editor. That was about to change.I had no idea how much.

I turned my attention back to the statue.Could Felix have really caused the rock todo those strange things? That was crazy.Mom was right. My imagination was inoverdrive. "Your game's not working," Isaid to the statue. "I'm not scared." I wasmet with silence. "'Cause I don't believe inghosts."

I waited. No facial expressions like I'dseen earlier. Nothing but a blank stare.

Still, I had this eerie feeling Felix waswatching me. I said, "And if you really area ghost, you're a big chicken to hide behindthat stone face and not speak up."

"Chicken!" Humpty taunted, flappinghis arms. "Pluck, pluck, pluck-up!"

A loud screech and a rumble like thun-der shattered the silence. I dove to theground, flattening Humpty face-downbeside me. I covered my head - and waitedfor an angry ghost to attack.

RAY KROC

— by Alison Myers

In 1954, Ray Kroc was feed-ing off of the success of hisMultimixer, a milkshake makerdesigned to churn out five milk-shakes at a time. He was deter-mined to sell his idea to others,so he headed off to Californiawhere he met Dick and MacMcDonald. The two brotherswere operating a restaurant with15 cent burgers and 5 cent cof-fees.

Amazed at the speed ofservice even with such longlines, Kroc purchased franchiserights to the restaurant. In 1955,the first McDonald's restaurantwas opened in Des Plaines,Illinois. Over 50 years later,McDonald's has restaurants innumerous foreign countries andhas become a pop culture iconof itself.

When Kroc's firstMcDonald's opened, it wasstaffed by an all male crew. Theiruniform was a white shirt, darkpants, a white apron, and paperhats. To create potatoes, a spe-cial machine worked to peel,balance out, and fry fresh pota-toes. Coca Cola and root beerwere drawn from barrels. Redand white tiles were the restau-rant's design theme.

Travel back through time andlook at when some of yourfavorite McDonald's foods wereintroduced.

1964: Fillet-O-Fish Sandwich1968: The Big Mac was

developed by franchisee JimDelligatti

1973: Herb Peterson, aMcDonald's owner and operator,created the Egg McMuffinBreakfast Sandwich. In thesame year, the Quarter Poundercheeseburger makes its wayonto McDonald's menus.

1978: Ice cream sundaes1979: The first Happy Meals

for children were introduced withkids' sized portions ofMcDonald's favorites and toys

1983: The ChickenMcNugget is an instant success

1997: A Canadian franchiseedevelops the McFlurry ice creamtreat; a mix of ice cream andM&M's or Oreos

In 1967, McDonald'sbranched out of the United

States and into Canada andPuerto Rico. Restaurants in theNetherlands, the UnitedKingdom, Brazil, and more fol-lowed. By 1980, McDonald'shad 1,000 international restau-rants and didn't stop there. Thefirst Russian McDonald's

opened in 1990 in Moscow andKuwait City, Kuwait welcomedthe golden arches in 1994.

A few more interestingMcDonald's history tidbits:

1957: Quality, Service,Cleanliness, and Value was theMcDonald's motto

1961: Ray Kroc bought therights to the McDonald's con-cept

1963: Ronald McDonaldmakes first television appear-ance

1975: The first drive thru wasused to serve soldiers from amilitary base in Sierra Vista,Arizona

The first restaurant in DesPlaines, Illinois is now aMcDonald's museum. It main-tains the original red and whitetile design with modifications tosuit present day visitors. Thebasement contains photos,memos, early advertisements,and a video presentation.Exhibits display early mementossuch as Kroc's Multimixer andthe soda barrels.

A Big Mac Museum andRestaurant is located in NorthHuntingdon, Pennsylvania. Itcontains the world's largest BigMac statue and an 18-foot inter-active world map. The restaurantportion seats 122 people whowant to enjoy Big Macs andlearn more about the famousburger and its developer. It isalso a state-of-the-art facilitywith a 24-hour, double lane drivethru that accepts electronic pay-ments. Users can enjoy Wi-Fiaccess and children can play inthe state of the art Play Place.

McDonald's has evolvedfrom a 15 cent hamburger jointto a fast food giant and a worldculture icon. With delicious foodsintroduced over 50 years andencouraging healthy livingamong its customers, whoknows what McDonald's will trynext to further set itself in histo-ry? Are you loving it?

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) —Trapped in the trees, BubbaWatson had no chance. Goodthing he’s one of those guyswho never hits the ballstraight.Unable to even see the

green from where he wasstanding, Watson curled ashot from out of the pinestraw and safely onto the 10thgreen to win the Masters onthe second hole of a playoffSunday over South Africa’sLouis Oosthuizen.Watson won his first

major and sobbed hard, hisshoulders heaving, as he em-braced his mother on the10th green. He won by hit-ting a most-memorablewedge shot, one that mayhave trumped the historicdouble-eagle 2 that Oost-huizen dropped in on the sec-ond green to take the leadearly in the final round.Both players finished regu-

lation at 10-under 278. Wat-son played the second playoffhole in par to win by one shot.“I was there earlier today,

during regulation,” he said.“So I was used to it. I knewwhat I was facing there. I hada good lie, had a gap where Ihad to hook it 40 yards orsomething. I’m pretty good athooking it.”And that’s how Gerry

“Bubba” Watson, proud newfather of adopted baby Caleb,found himself wearing a greenjacket.With his bubble gum-pink

driver and his all-white out-fit, Watson is one of thoseguys who stands out and hedid, indeed, at Augusta Na-tional. After missing a 10-footputt that would have won iton the 18th green in the firstplayoff hole, he pushed histee shot on No. 10 so far right,it was actually behind thegallery.No punching it out on this

day. Instead, he lined it up,curved it in and when Oost-huizen couldn’t get up anddown from in front of thegreen after his own errantdrive, Watson simply had totwo-putt to capture the title.He almost made the first

one, rolling it a few inchespast the hole. As the crowdbegan cheering, he held outhis hand to playfully calmdown everyone, then tapped itin. The tears started flowingimmediately.“He hit an unbelievable

shot there,” Oosthuizen said.“I played well. This is not oneI felt like I played badly.Great stuff to him. He de-serves it.”Phil Mickelson made a

triple-bogey 6 on No. 4 to fallback and wound up in a tie forthird at 8 under, along withLee Westwood, Matt Kucharand Peter Hanson.Watson was four shots back

after Oosthuizen made his al-

batross but was able to keep avery good eye on the leadersince they were playing part-ners.The rally began on No. 13,

where Watson made a tricky6-foot putt for the first of fourstraight birdies.He tied it on No. 16 and

after the two made par on 17,Watson had a better look atthe win in regulation, justmissing a 20-foot putt forbirdie.Both players had good

looks at it on the first playoffhole, then both hit poor driveson No. 10 to set up the finish.Oosthuizen, the 2010

British Open champion, cameup short of the green and

pitched past the hole, thenbarely missed the comebackerthat could have pushed theplayoff to a third hole.He might have still been in

shock. Watson didn’t appearto have any angle from wherehe was standing, but he hitthe big, sweeping hook to setup the win.“I had no idea where he

was,” Oosthuizen said. “WhereI stood from, when ball cameout, it looked like a curve ball.Unbelievable shot. I left my-self in a really awkward spotwith that chip. Just didn’t getthe check on it that I thoughtI would. That shot he hit defi-nitely won him the tourna-ment.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Astar third baseman most ofhis career, 37-year-old ScottRolen made a big impact in arare pinch-hitting appear-ance.The 37-year-old drove in

the winning run in the ninthinning with a sharp infieldsingle that third basemanHanley Ramirez failed to han-dle, lifting the CincinnatiReds to a come-from-behind 6-5 win over the Miami Marlins.Pinch-hitting is often

thought of as a niche for mar-ginal players who can adaptto the demands of the role.Rolen, a seven-time All-Starand eight-time Gold Glovewinner, looked just fine in it.“It’s certainly not easy,”

said Rolen, now 8-for-18 as apinch-hitter in his career.“Everybody says you come incold, but believe me, yourblood pressure’s through theroof. You’re not really cold.Your circulation’s going crazy.”Manager Dusty Baker fig-

ured that Rolen, in his 17thbig league season, would beprepared to grab a bat.“You don’t really have to

tell him ahead of time,” Bakersaid. “He knows to get ready.That was a big game.”Jay Bruce started the

comeback with his secondhome run of the game andthird of the season, an oppo-site-field drive into the left-center field seats that costMarlins new closer Heath Bell

(0-1) a save in his first oppor-tunity. One out later, DrewStubbs chopped a single thathit Ramirez’s glove. Stubbsmoved to third on Ryan Hani-gan’s single to right.Ramirez’s tried to handle

Rolen’s grounder with a fore-hand grab on his backhandside. He just knocked it downand had to watch as Stubbscrossed the plate with the runthat gave the Reds two winsin the three-game series.Bruce’s homer cost former

San Diego closer Heath Bell

(0-1) a save in his first oppor-tunity since signing withMiami as a free agent.“My job is to save games,

and I didn’t do it,” Bell said. “Ineed to earn the respect fromthese guys. I need to be moreaccountable. I didn’t make apitch when I needed to makea pitch.”Left-hander Aroldis Chap-

man (1-0) pitched two shutoutinnings of relief.The Marlins got at least

one hit in every inningagainst Cincinnati starter

Bronson Arroyo and everystarter, including Carlos Zam-brano, had a hit.Zambrano retired 13 of 14

batters in one stretch, includ-ing 12 straight before Brucehomered with two outs in thesixth inning to give Cincinnatia 4-2 lead.The Reds led 3-0 and 4-2

before the Marlins scoredthree runs to take a 5-4 leadin the seventh, which openedwith Arroyo hitting GregDobbs with a pitch. BrettHayes then hit a hard shotinto the left field corner, buthad to stop at first as Dobbshobbled into second, whereGaby Sanchez ran for him.Pinch-hitter Chris Coghlan

lined a double to the right-center field wall to drive inSanchez and push Hayes tothird. Jose Reyes came upwith an RBI groundout to tiethe score and Emilio Bonifaciosingled to right through adrawn-in Reds infield to giveMiami the lead.Arroyo gave up 10 hits and

five runs, four earned, with nowalks and four strikeouts in 61-3 innings.

NOTES: Phillips groundeda single up the middle for hissecond hit of the game and1,000th of his career with theReds. He is the 28th player inclub history to reach 1,000hits. ... Cairo started at thirdbase in place of Rolen, whowas 1 for 7 in Cincinnati’sfirst two games.

two home runs on his26th birthday, DerekLowe pitched sevenstrong innings and

Cleveland’s bullpen fi-nally held a lead andbeat the Toronto BlueJays 4-3 Sunday.“Let’s tell him it’s his

birthday every day,” saidCleveland closer ChrisPerez, who retiredToronto slugger JoseBautista on an infield

popup with the basesloaded to earn the save.“I wouldn’t mind if it

was my birthday everyday, but I would be anold man if that hap-pened,” Santana said.Santana opened the

second inning with adrive over the wall in

center. He connected asecond time off Joel Car-reno (0-1) in the fifth, atwo-run shot to rightthat broke a 2-all tie.On his last four birth-

days, including twoyears in the minors, San-tana is 10 for 17 withfive homers and 13 RBIs.
