Lawmakers were to vote Thursday on a long-overdue spending measure funding the day-to-day budgets of federal agencies through September. Later in the day, Republicans dominating the House will launch debate on a 2012-andbeyond plan that promises to cut the long-term budget blueprint Obama laid out in February by more than $6 trillion. Obama countered Wednesday with a new call to increase taxes on wealthier people and impose quicker cuts to Medicare, launching a roiling debate in Congress and the 2012 presidential campaign to come. Obama fired a broadside at the long-term GOP plan, which calls for transforming the Medicare health program for the aged into a voucher-like system for people under the age of 55 and imposing stringent cuts on Medicaid, which provides health care to the poor and disabled, including people in nursing homes. More immediate, however, is the 2011 spending measure. It combines more than $38 billion in cuts to domestic accounts with changes to benefit programs, like children’s health care, that Congress’ own economists say are illusory. Thursday’s measure is a compromise between Obama, GOP House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. As such, it’s a split-the-differences compromise that considerably smooths a much more stringent version that passed the House in February. The bill cuts $600 million from community health pro- grams, $414 million from grants for state and local police departments, and $1.6 billion from the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget. Community development block grants, a favorite with mayors of both political parties, take a $950 million cut. And construction and repair projects for federal buildings would absorb an almost $1 billion cut. Obama, however, was able to ease cuts to favored programs like medical research, family planning programs and education, while largely ridding the bill of conservative policy initiatives to block last year’s health care law and new environmental regulations. But the measure would have little direct impact on the deficit through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year, according to the Congressional Budget Office, since about $8 billion in immediate domestic program cuts are more than outweighed by increases for the Pentagon and ongoing war costs. Moving earth Construction began this week on the Rail Logistics Center on the south edge of Kenton on U.S. 68. The center is being built to transfer Clinton: NATO nations agree that Libya’s Gadhafi must go BERLIN (AP) — NATO nations stressed Thursday that their common aim in Libya is to bring an end to Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the world must increase its support for the Libyan opposition. The effort to enforce a nofly zone over Libya topped the agenda at a two-day meeting of foreign ministers from NATO’s 28 member countries. Three weeks of airstrikes haven’t routed Gadhafi’s forces, causing tensions in the alliance. Although NATO countries agree that Gadhafi must be ousted, his departure is not one of its military goals and the alliance has been at odds on how to proceed. One proposal from Italy — Libya’s former colonial ruler — calls for the western powers to provide defensive weapons to rebels. France has said NATO isn’t doing enough, and was pushing other countries at the meeting to work “on more Footloose in Ada Drew Crabtree (left) tries to stop Ronnie Roberts from violating a small town’s law prohibiting dancing in the Ada High School Music Department’s production of Footloose. The musical is based on the 1980’s film of the same name and follows the efforts of Ren McCormack to have a real school prom in the town where dancing and rock music has been banned. It will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday in the school auditorium. Tickets, available at the door, are $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens.

The rebels — along with France and Britain — have been urging the U.S. military to reassert a stronger role in the NATO-led air campaign. The Obama administration, however, has been insisting the U.S. will stick to its plan to remain in a supporting role, and the Pentagon noted that Americans have flown 35 percent of all Libyan air missions over the last 10 days. Clinton appealed to the other NATO foreign ministers to show unity. “As our mission continues, maintaining our resolve and unity only grows more important,” Clinton said Thursday. “Gadhafi is testing our determination.” NATO members are “sharing the same goal, which is to see the end of the Gadhafi regime in Libya,” Clinton said. “We must also intensify our political, diplomatic and economic mission to pressure and isolate Gadhafi and bring about his departure.” NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance and its partners “are fully engaged in operations to safeguard the people of Libya, taking every measure possible to prevent Gadhafi’s brutal and systematic attacks.” The alliance is keeping up “a high operational tempo,” he added. France’s foreign minister, Alain Juppe, struck a diplomatic tone as he met with his counterpart from Germany, which isn’t taking part in the military operation and abstained in the U.N. vote authorizing it. “In reality, we have the same objective — this objective is to allow the Libyan people to enjoy democratic freedom,” Juppe said, adding “there will not be a military solution to the problem, there can only be a political solution.” “There is no future in Libya with Gadhafi,” Juppe added. Kenton man receives another three years in prison By DAN ROBINSON Times staff writer A Kenton man was given an additional three years in prison after being found guilty of a felony in Hardin County Common Pleas Court. According to court records from Prosecutor Brad Bailey’s office, Richard Allen Flowers Jr., 424 S. Henry St., is currently serving a term in Orient prison out of a previ- ous case. He was given an additional three years in prison for failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer. Flowers was also fined $100. A charge of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence resulted in a 31-day jail term and another $370 fine. Flowers was given 31 days credit for jail time served. In other recent cases, Gregory Lee Hogue, 16564 Ohio 309, Kenton, was sentenced to 28 months in prison for two counts of aggravated trafficking in drugs. Each count represented 14 months in prison and a $50 fine. Hogue is also to pay restitution of $70 to the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office. Terri Lynn Bridenstine, 106 Place St., Alger, was fined $5,000 and placed on community control for four years after being convicted of trafficking in heroin in the vicinity of a school and/or juvenile. She must also pay restitution of $500 to the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office. Bridenstine was also found guilty of possession of heroin. Aaron Daniel Stuckey, 5148 CR 115, Dola, was placed on three years community control and fined $50 for one count of trafficking in heroin in the vicinity of a school and/or a juvenile. Stuckey is also to perform 50 hours of community Riding to raisie money Cameron Jesionowski leads the students of the First Methodist Church Preschool who spent their class time Wednesday riding tricycles and bicycles in a huge loop around the Community Building at the Hardin County Fairgrounds.

Page 2 – KENTON TIMES Thursday, April 14, 2011 Bird nests By NANCY MABREY Director, Wildheart Rehabilitators Generally, in temperate areas, nest-building coincides with the arrival of spring. That's when birds' internal clocks tell them it's time to mate and raise a brood. Which bird actually does the building – the male or female – varies by species. In some cases, both collect material to build the nest and join in its construction. We usually think of nests in tree branches. Some birds build nests on the ground, some in bushes, or attach their nests to the sides of cliffs. Barn Swallows have an affinity for barns. Chimney Swifts, as the name implies, favor chimneys and other man-made enclosures. Carolina Wrens will nest in almost any cavity, from an empty can to a coat pocket. To keep nests together and secured in place, birds need good adhesives. They use a variety of natural substances to do the job, including mud, saliva, spiderwebs, caterpillar silk, leaf mold, and certain plant fibers. Materials that make up the nest are intertwined, and with the weaver bird, are actually woven or thatched together using grass, strips of leaves, and twigs. Birds can make hundreds of trips to collect materials. While they seem to prefer natural objects (helpful as camouflage), some use almost anything that works and that they can carry. Candy wrappers, cellophane, shredded money – even barbed wire – have shown up in nests. But however coarse the outside of the nest is, the inside is usually lined with soft materials. Although some large birds (eagles, hawks, and sea birds) return to nests they've made, most birds rarely do. Eagles may return annually to the huge platform nests they build in the treetops. Some measure as much as 6 feet in diameter. On the flip side are hummingbirds, which fashion tiny cuplike nests not much bigger than a thimble. Cupped nests are the most common type built by most songbirds. Such nests may be constructed of various materials and in a variety of locations. Cup nests may be located in the crotches and branches of trees and shrubs and supported mainly from below. Many passerines and hummingbirds build such nests. Adherent nests, typically of mud, are plastered to a building wall or stone ledge, made by Barn Swallows. Pensile nests, a cup nest suspended from the forks of a tree branch, are made by vireos. Pendulous nests are bag-like nests suspended from the tips of branches, as built by orioles. Ground nests – cupped nests on the ground – have sides extended upward and arched over the top making a domed structure. Several passerines, particularly those that occupy open habitats like grasslands and tundra, build ground nests. Platform nests are relatively flat nests that may be located on the ground, in a tree, or on the tops of rooted vegetation or on debris in shallow water. This may include hawks, eagles, geese, and Western Grebes. Cavity nests (in trees or cacti) are used by numerous passerines, woodpeckers, owls, parrots, and some waterfowl. Some birds, such as woodpeckers, construct their own cavity nests and are referred to as primary cavity nesters. Species that use natural cavities or cavities constructed by primary cavity nesters are called secondary cavity nesters. Burrow nests are very effective at protecting eggs and young from predators & maintaining an appropriate microclimate for eggs & young. Some birds, like Bank Swallows and Belted Kingfishers, usually construct their own burrows, while others, such as Burrowing Owls, may use burrows constructed by other species. Scrape nests are simple depressions in the ground (sometimes with a few stones added) or in the leaf litter. Such nests are used by some penguins, shorebirds, gulls, terns, nighthawks, vultures and peregrines. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act made it illegal for people to "take" migratory birds, their eggs, feathers or nests. This includes any means or in any manner, any attempt at hunting, pursuing, wounding, killing, possessing or transporting any migratory bird, nest, egg, or part thereof. The law exists to protect birds in the wild from disturbance. Newspaper: Kasich pays staff slightly less COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state’s new Republican administration is paying its employees slightly less than the former Democratic one, with the governor achieving the savings while paying more money to top-earning staffers, a newspaper reported Wednesday. Gov. John Kasich had promised to spend less money on employees than did his Democratic predecessor, Ted Strickland, and Kasich’s total payroll is lower by about $38,500, or 0.5 percent, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The newspaper’s analysis found that Kasich pays less to his lowest-level employees than Strickland did. Data supplied by Kasich’s administration and the Department of Administrative Services show that Kasich projects hiring four fewer staff members — saving more than $171,000 on salaries from the previous administration — but also pays his 23-member cabinet about $133,000 more than Strickland paid for those posts, the newspaper reported. Kasich’s office says cabinet salaries were not included in his spending promise. “The bottom line is, we are doing more work with fewer people at a lower cost, which Ada is still a village COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Results of the 2010 U.S. Census mean Ohio now has 247 cities — three more than it had 10 years ago. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted says a community is classified as a city when it has a population of 5,000 or more. Smaller municipalities are proclaimed villages. A review of census data by Husted’s office finds that while Ohio has had a net gain in cities, the number of villages has held steady at 691. In a news release, the secretary notes that three villages keep that designation even though census tallies put them over 5,000. Ada, Granville and Grafton have been disqualified from city status because their 0totals include college students and prison inmates who don’t count in the official population.

The top 25 percent of Kasich’s employees make an average of $109,950 annually, more than $15,000 higher than Strickland’s highestpaid employees, the newspaper reported. The lowest-paid 25 percent on Kasich’s staff make an average of $29,758 — including the salaries of two part-time staff members — compared with the $33,999 average paid to the same grouping under Strickland, the analysis found. Kasich has been criticized for paying top staffers more than Strickland did, and opponents have called Kasich’s support for a law that will limit collective bargaining for public employees an attack on the middle class. The governor has said that his support for the new law limiting collective bargaining was based on his desire to help local governments control costs and that higher salaries were necessary for his advisers. “We had to pay competitive salaries to get the right people with the skills to get Ohio back on track,” Nichols told the newspaper. Kasich’s base salary, $148,866 a year, is determined by state law. Strickland’s base pay was $138,757, partly because he refused to accept a salary increase scheduled for the first two years of his term, former Strickland officials said.

By Jodi Miller Eggs Benedict Day Every year on April 16, it is National Eggs Benedict Day. You might be one of many who have never tried this brunch food or even know what the consistency entails. It is basically made up of toasted English muffins, ham, poached eggs, and a hollandaise sauce. Like many other inventions, people aren't completely sure about the origins of Eggs Benedict. One legend has Lemuel Benedict ordering two poached eggs, bacon, buttered toast and a pitcher of hollandaise sauce in the Waldorf Hotel on Fifth Avenue in 1894. The maitre d'hôtel added it to the menu but substituted ham for bacon and English muffins for toast. The other story has Mr. and Mrs. LeGrand Benedict requesting the combination at a restaurant called Delmonico's. It may be quite a challenge to make this dish if you're not very handy in the kitchen. You might want to start with a recipe from Kraft Foods called "Beginner Eggs Benedict." 4 large eggs 1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon yellow mustard 2 English muffins, split, toasted 12 slices thinly sliced smoked harm warmed 1. Fill a large skillet with 1 inch of water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to keep water gently simmering. 2. Break eggs, one at a time, into a cup. Holding cup close to water's surface, gently slip eggs into water. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Remove eggs from skillet with slotted spoon. Drain in spoon or on paper towels. Trim any rough edges, if desired. 3. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Mix the yogurt, mayo, and mustard in small saucepan. 4. Cook on low heat 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring constantly. 5. Top each muffin with 3 ham slices, one egg, and one heaping tablespoon of sauce. If you don't feel up for the challenge of making it yourself, just go to a restaurant and let them do all of the work for you. There are also many variations of Eggs Benedict that you could order. Some of them include: Eggs Chesapeake, Eggs Royale, Eggs Benedict Poor Boy, Irish Benedict, Eggs Benedict Arnold, Goose Benedict, Eggs Frederick, Eggs Florentine, California Benedict, Eggs Stanley, and Pennsylvania-Dutch Benedict. Or you could just order your favorite combination of eggs: scrambled, sunny-side up, hard-boiled, shirred (which are oven baked eggs), or as an omelet. With Easter just around the corner, it's the perfect time to consume more eggs! ––––– Jodi Miller, a Riverdale High School graduate, is an elementary school teacher. social calendar THURSDAY, APRIL 14 Hardin County Players – 7 p.m., Trinity Presbyterian Church, Kenton.

KENTON TIMES – Page 3 Book disappoints Fortnightly club The Fortnightly Literary Club met at Blanchard House on April 8. President Rita Radway opened the meeting with quotes by former first ladies. She thanked Mary Dowd for having the meeting at Blanchard House and Doris Tackett and Kay Doll for refreshments. The business meeting progressed with the secretary's report from Michele Oates and the treasurer's report from Kay Doll. Marie Sprang of the Literary Committee presented the list of books for the 2011-2012 season. Rosemary Fitzgerald announced that the Spring Luncheon would be held at the Kenton Elks on May 13 at 12:30 p.m. There was no report from the Civic committee and no old or new business to discuss. Radway closed that portion of the meeting and gave the floor to Diane Smith for the introduction of this month's book. American Wife by Curtis Sittenfield is the back story of an American first lady, loosely based on Laura Bush. It is fiction, not biography and must be realized as such. Much fictional conjecture went into this story. The author reportedly was trying to show a depth of character not shown by Mrs. Bush during her years in the White House. Whatever the author's purpose, Diane did not enjoy the book and that opinion was shared by many members. The author, a woman, born in Ohio, holds an M.F.A. and studied and worked at the prestigious Iowa Writers group. She had written two previous books that were well received and this book spent time on the New York Times bestseller list. That said, this particular book had little appeal for the Fortnightly members. Some events in the book resembled those well known to the American public and better documented in other work including Mrs. Bush's own Spoken From the Heart currently in print. This author took a real tragedy from Mrs. Bush's past and gave it shadings and consequences that were imagined. Some of those were dark and sordid and indicative of the author's need to spice up her story at the expense of her protagonist's character. Mindful that this is fiction, some of the members found it difficult to accept behaviors from the heroine that might reflect on the former first lady. The book had some interesting characters, some recognizable from what we know or think we know of the Bush family and presidency, but even they did not elevate this story to any kind of enlightenment. The club was disappointed in both the content and format of the book finding it disjointed. Rather than just dismissing the book as lightweight and unappealing, members were active and vocal in their dislike. An explanation might be the cultural fatigue this community and other communities are experiencing when faced repeatedly with incivility and salaciousness under the banner of fiction or journalism. In counterpoint to this disappointment, the club had some shining moments at the April meeting. Two of our members, Mary Dowd and Mary Lou Knapp, were able to join us at the Blanchard House venue. At the close of the meeting, Mary Dowd spoke to us about her long-time membership and what the club has meant to her. She told us that the club had opened her eyes and altered the way she felt about literature and reading. We all hope to approach 90, as is Mary, with our lives as well traveled and well read. We may not have liked this month's book, but we read it, discussed it, and tried to understand it. The next book could open our eyes, give us new insight, change an opinion, or keep us awake because we can't bear to put it down. You never know until you turn that first page – and begin.

Not only did he squeeze nearly $40 billion out of this fiscal year's remaining budget, but also another $40 billion in increases Obama had proposed for agency budgets that Congress never agreed to accept. The deal Boehner negotiated for fiscal 2011 means that spending this year will be $78.5 billion less than what Obama requested last year from the Democratic-run Congress, which failed to enact any budget. In one key respect, Boehner and the Republicans did what the Democrats irresponsibly refused to do -- cut spending. While these sums pale in the face of a $3.7 trillion annual budget, that is running a record $1.6 trillion deficit and $14 trillion in debt, the GOP's interim victory has thrown Obama and the Democrats on the defensive as they enter a critical two-year presidential election cycle, with Obama's job approval scores falling dangerously into the mid-40s, and 23 Senate Democrats -- a number of whom are vulnerable -up for re-election next year. Obama, who proudly called Boehner's budget deal "the largest spending cut in our history," is turning himself into what Washington Post political reporter Dan Balz called "a born-again budget cutter." In the aftermath of the deal, the White House was scrambling to reposition the president on spending and soaring debt that their own polls show is fast turning into a Mount Everest-size political issue that endangers his re-election prospects. Suddenly, Obama was more tightly embracing the proposals of his presidential budget reform commission that he had kept at arm's length -- speaking warmly about its provisions to scuttle a raft of tax breaks and other loopholes in exchange for lowering the corporate and individual tax rates. Donald Lambro Syndicated columnist He was practically sending love letters to the bipartisan "Gang of Six" senators who were working behind the scenes to come up with a compromise 2012 budget based on the commission's report.Trouble is, though, they have not been able to reach an agreement. "It's pretty hard for (Obama) to hitch himself to something that doesn't exist yet," said Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, a waste-fighting Republican member of the gang. "There's nothing I've agreed to that could be announced this week," Coburn told the Washington Post. Obama was expected to lay out his latest budget plans in a major speech here Wednesday, but, as is his style, he wasn't going to get his hands dirty on any specifics. Instead, he will speak only in broad themes, his advisers said. Such is "leadership" in the age of Obama. On Sunday, the White House sent out Obama's senior political adviser, David Plouffe, to the morning talk shows, saying Obama would cut the budget with "a scalpel, not a machete." It was both a message of reassurance to Obama's liberal base that he would not touch the social welfare and entitlements that are the holy grails of the Democrats, but also a campaign promise that his boss offered the country a barely noticeable, cosmetic approach to the budget that could best be described as "Obama-lite." Predictably, though, Obama will put away the scalpel and bring out his Hawaiian-style machete to slash the tax cuts he agreed to last year. Good luck on raising taxes on a fragile economy with $4 a gallon gasoline, rising food prices, declining wages and nearly 9 percent unemployment. Obama built this mountain of spending and debt, and it's going to take a great deal more than a tummy tuck or a nose job. Since 2007, the year before the Great Recession struck, spending rose by $1.1 trillion, while the budget deficit went from a modest $161 billion to $1.6 trillion under Obama's leadership, leaving a long line of trillion dollar-plus deficits for the rest of this decade and beyond. Obama's 2012 budget proposals, which escaped serious scrutiny, predicted the deficits would drop to $772 billion by 2022. But the University of Maryland's ace economist, Peter Morici, who has crunched the numbers, says, "That forecast is dubious, because it assumes 4 percent (economic) growth ... which few economists would endorse, and cuts in Medicare payments to physicians and hospitals, few political observers believe will materialize." Now comes the heavy lifting and the far bigger spending battles -- raising the debt ceiling and passing next year's budget -- with the Republicans holding the stronger hand. It is generally conceded that Congress will pass a rise in the debt ceiling, because the world's largest economy is not going to default on its debts. But not before further spending restrictions are added to the bill that Obama will have to sign. The next major heavyweight fight will be over the 2012 budget. It's already begun with the House Budget Committee's blueprint, which cuts or freezes virtually every government program. The Democratic-run Senate, fearful of losing yet another budget fight, has yet to produce its own version, though the betting in this corner is that Congress will pass a budget that gets tough on spending and that those who would vote against it do so at their own political peril.

Despite software that has greatly simplified tax preparation, American accountants suffer a host of daily aggravations. They're responsible for filing on behalf of some 82 million U.S. taxpayers and for understanding the U.S. tax code's 5,600 incomprehensible pages, according to AccountingToday.com. No wonder, then, that the American accountant suffers "a poor work/life balance, botched sleep schedules, poor eating habits, and problems in personal relationships." One survey found 64 percent complain that their clients, far more confused by the tax code than they, are KENTON TIMES Phone 419-674-4066 201 E. Columbus, Kenton, Ohio 43326.

Barnes............founder Jeff Barnes.............publisher Tim Thomas.................editor Tom Purcell Syndicated columnist careless or unprepared. I hope our accountants can forgive us. The same survey says our emotions get in the way of organizing our tax information in a timely manner: "Procrastination (45 percent) is one of the biggest challenges for those who haven't filed in a suitable timeline by this time of year. "Others blame nervousness about filing taxes correctly (28 percent), confusion and the process (26 percent), laziness (23 percent), and lack of organization (20 percent)." I could toss in extended happy hours, but I don't believe that was on the list. The survey describes other things agitating accountants. Thirty-six percent complain about the need to resolve complex tax situations, twenty-three percent about "aggressive clients" -who probably want to know why they owe so much after spending hours organizing business expenses and deductions. And client deductions are a sizable source of grief. AccountingToday.com cites one client who tried to depreciate his cows. Another tried to deduct the costs of raising a cat. A third tried to deduct his hot tub for medical purposes. A fourth "tried to claim water bottle costs towards health care since his doctor told him he needed to drink more water." If such deductions sound reasonable -- they do to me - you are among a rapidly shrinking group: Americans who actually have jobs, incomes and high taxes. Again, I hope our accountant pals can forgive us. The survey says 60 percent of us feel mighty uneasy about being audited. "That's more than those who are worried about other nerve-wracking situations, such as receiving a performance review at work (39 percent) or visiting the doctor for an annual check-up (35 percent)." The article doesn't say what kind of doctor, but it's surely a proctologist -- whose procedure's surely far less intrusive than an audit! In any event, at this cruddy time of year, many are miserable and uneasy. About to write massive checks, we're sickened to see our bank balances depleted. We're more sick that our combined annual contributions are $1.7 trillion less than our government will spend this year. We're sicker yet that we have to hand over fat checks to our accountants to make sure we comply with that incomprehensible tax code. Of course, our accountants get the worst of it all. Taxpayers themselves, they must work ungodly hours to put our taxes in order. I hope they can deduct their poor work/life balance and eating habits. ––––– Tom Purcell, a freelance writer, is also a humor columnist for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

They never have a kind word to say to each other. Mr. B. now has a terminal illness, and you would think they'd be kinder to each other at a time like this. On the contrary, their fights are more groundless and vicious than ever. It is becoming increasingly difficult to be around them. This is when they need friends more than ever, but they're driving everyone away! What can we do? -- LOVE IS ALL WE NEED DEAR LOVE: While you might imagine that when a spouse has a terminal illness it would bring the couple closer together, that is not always the case. Mr. B. may be frightened, angry, in pain and taking it out on his wife. Mrs. B. may be furious at her husband for being sick and dependent, and requiring her to have gone from being a wife to a caregiver. Also, they both may be settling old scores. Because it's painful to watch what's going on but you want to be supportive, consider socializing with them separately. They may appreciate the time they get to spend away from each other. ––––– DEAR ABBY: When does dieting become rude? I have always enjoyed inviting friends and family over for dinner. But lately it seems everyone is on some kind of diet and "can't eat that." I fix healthy meals -- free of fats, sugars and salt. If someone has a dietary restriction or wants to pass on dessert, I Jeanne Phillips Syndicated columnist am fine with that, of course. I don't like it, though, when my carefully prepared meals turn into leftovers or get thrown away off someone's plate. Why would anyone accept a dinner invitation and then turn into a picky guest? Would eating an average serving of a good meal once a week blow someone's diet? -LOST THE JOY OF COOKING DEAR LOST THE JOY: I'll answer your questions in reverse order. Eating an "average serving of a good meal" once a week COULD blow someone's diet, depending on the kind of diet the person is on. And the reason someone who is on a severely restricted diet would accept a dinner invitation on a weekly basis might be because he or she wants to see you, wants to see some of the other guests or doesn't want to be left out. But for a conclusive answer, you need to query the dieter. ––––– DEAR ABBY: My mother and I are very close, and I love her very much, but I have a problem. Mom goes on every single field trip with my class. There have even been times when she was the only parent in attendance. The teachers are grateful for her, but it's becoming embarrassing. I'm a freshman in a private high school, and I want to start doing things more independently. What's the best way to tell Mom before my next trip that I prefer she not go without hurting her feelings? -I'M A BIG GIRL NOW DEAR BIG GIRL: Talk to your mother at a time when you are both calm. She needs to understand that her hovering is making you self-conscious when you need some independence. However, keep in mind that she may be the only parent who is volunteering and has the time to assist in the field trips -- which is why the teachers are grateful.

Copyright 2011 Universal Uclick reader editorial Inmate offers apology To the editor: Dear community/victims: My name is Justin Lee Frazier and I am a 24-yearold inmate here at the Southeastern Correctional Institution in Lancaster, Ohio who is serving a four-year and four-month prison sentence for the Hardin County Adult Common Pleas Courts due to two felony 3 burglaries, one felony 3 grand theft, one felony 5 drug trafficking, one felony 5 possession of drugs and one felony 5 recieving stolen property convictions, in which, I am not one bit proud of. Anyways, the purpose of this letter is to make a sincere apology for my actions, inactions, addictions and crimes. Please know that all of my convictions were, in fact, drug and alcohol related and that I wouldn't have ever committed or even thought about committing such if it had not been for my active addiction to drugs and alcohol, although that is no justification or excuse for my actions, inactions, addictions and crimes. I made that ultimate choice to pick up that first drug and drink knowing what the possible consequences of such a choice would be without anyone forcing me to do so, although I may not have realized it could or would get as bad as it did. As we all can see it did get bad and I regret that so badly! Please know that my actions, inactions, addictions and crimes were not intentional, although they may have seemed that way at the time. I just simply allowed drugs and alcohol to take over my life as already mentioned. Furthermore, I would like to make a special and more personal apology to Kyle and Jessica Blair because they were, in fact, direct victims in my crimes and did not deserve what I done to them one bit. Please also know that I am a really good person with a really good background and heart who just simply made some really bad choices in life. Therefore, please do not allow my past actions, inactions, addictions and crimes to convince you that I'm a bad person because I am not. Nor am I a waste or a lost cause. I have much hope and potential. Please know that I am now doing exactly what it is that the community as a whole, my direct victims, my family, my friends and myself would want me to do and that is staying clean and sober and active in a solid program of recovery. As soon as I'm able I look forward to making further amends to my victims, community, family and friends but in the meantime I'm just doing what I can with what I have here in prison so that I do not ever repeat my past in the future. It is my hopes and prayers that "all" of you will forgive me and be of encouragement or support to me instead of against me, but if you do not I'll understand and respect your decision because in no way is your forgiveness owed to me. In closing, I thank you all for your time in reading over this letter, and I thank you all for any and all consideration that you may have for me at this time in this matter. May God bless and be with each and everyone of you.

Czech president to be sent thousands of pens PRAGUE (AP) — Some say the pen is mightier than the sword. If true, Czech President Vaclav Klaus will soon be a very mighty man. More than 5,000 Czechs have signed up to a Facebook campaign to mail pens to the president after a video of him sheepishly pocketing a pen he took an obvious liking to during an official signing ceremony last week in Chile became widely popular on the Internet. Klaus says it’s customary for leaders to keep pens after signing accords. But the manner in which he sized up the pen — encrusted with semiprecious Chilean stones — and then sneakily slipped it into his pocket while he sat at a desk alongside Chilean President Sebastian Pinera has seen him ridiculed by some of his countrymen. “It seemed to me absolutely inappropriate to do anything like that during an official ceremony,” said Vojtech Palous, a 23-year-old student of medicine from Prague.

The Czech Foreign Ministry declined comment Wednesday when asked if they thought Klaus’ huge YouTube exposure could harm the country’s image. Palous said the country’s image will survive, but the video makes the president seem a little weird. “It doesn’t harm the Czech Republic, but it says something about the way he represents us... His way of representing is weird and this video proves that well.” The conservative Klaus relishes being at odds with the mainstream and his views often dramatically differ from those of his archrival Vaclav Havel, whom he replaced as president in 2003. Circulars in Today’s Times Sears NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Angela Gilliam called the police at 7:43 p.m. Tuesday. She was worried about her niece’s well-being and said there was a domestic tussle going on at the younger woman’s apartment in this hardscrabble city on New York’s Hudson River. Police headed to the apartment but by the time they got there, it was empty. Seventeen minutes later, Gilliam’s grand-nephew La’Shaun Armstrong stood shivering and soaking wet in a firehouse down the street, struggling to get the words out: His mother, 25-yearold Lashanda Armstrong, had driven their minivan off a boat ramp and into the river, taking her three other children with her. All of them died. Only 10-year-old La’Shaun survived, managing to open the driver’s window and escape the van just before it slipped beneath the surface. Police were still working Wednesday night to piece together the events that led to Tuesday’s tragic plunge that killed Armstrong and three children: Landen Pierre, 5, Lance Pierre, 2, and 11-month-old Laianna Pierre. Earlier Tuesday, Armstrong appeared stressed when she picked up the children at the Young and Unique Christian Development Child Care, said Shaniesha Strange, supervisor in the infant room. “The only thing she’d say was that she was so alone,” Strange said Wednesday. “She’s a single parent. She takes great care of her kids, goes to school and works. She really needed a helping hand.” Police question the man they identified as the father of the three dead children, Jean Pierre, but did not give details. He apparently didn’t live with the mother and children and could not immediately be located for comment. Hetty Minatee, another teacher at the day care center, said Armstrong had enrolled the four children there in September. At first Jean Pierre would come in with Armstrong and sometimes would pick up the kids. “A couple weeks ago, she came in a little upset,” Minatee said. “She said, ’Miss Minatee, I don’t want the father to pick the kids up or have any contact with them.’ She said she was trying to get a court order so he could never see the kids again.” From Armstrong’s apartment, she would have taken a right turn onto Washington Street, site of George Washington’s headquarters during the American Revolution, and driven straight toward the river, downhill all the way. She’d be familiar with the boat launch, neighbors said. She watched fireworks over the river from the corner near her house. A half-mile drive would have gotten her there. A hard left then a quick right turn would take the van into the water. Fire Chief Michael Vatter said the vehicle went under in the 45-degree water within two minutes. A passer-by found a soaked and cold La’Shaun Armstrong along the shore and took him to a firehouse for help. “He got out of the car, got up onto the boat ramp, turned around and it was gone,” Vatter said. Divers searched for about an hour before finding the minivan submerged in 10 feet of water about 25 yards from the shore. They used a tow truck to pull it up the ramp. La’Shaun is staying with Gilliam and “doing fine,” she said. “She was a good mother. She was going through some stuff,” Gilliam said of her niece. “Nobody knows what my niece went through.” She would not elaborate. Police said there was no history of domestic violence at the address. Are your taxes fair? Most people say yes WASHINGTON (AP) — For all the complaining this time of year, most Americans actually think the taxes they pay are fair. Not that they’re cheering. Fewer people expect refunds this year than in previous years, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows. But as Monday’s filing deadline approaches, the poll shows that 54 percent believe their tax bills are either somewhat fair or very fair, compared with 46 percent who say they are unfair. Should taxes be raised to eat into huge federal deficits? Among the public, 62 percent say they favor cutting government services to sop up the red ink. Just 29 percent say raise taxes. That’s sure to be a major issue as Congress takes up budget legislation for next year and the 2012 presidential campaign gets under way in earnest. On Wednesday, President Barack Obama revived his proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help reduce government borrowing. In the poll, Democrats were more likely than Republicans to think their tax bills were fair. Liberals and moderates were more likely to think so than conservatives. Women more likely than men. Most whites thought their tax bills were fair; most non-whites didn’t. The young and the old — adults under 30 and seniors 65 and above — were much more likely to say their taxes were fair than those in their prime earning years. Surprisingly, there was little difference in the perception of fairness across income levels. But just because people say they pay a fair amount doesn’t mean that they think others do. Sandra Jennings, a retired teacher in South Bend, Ind., said her federal taxes are fair, but she thinks rich people get off too easily. Rich people, she said in an interview, “get all these loopholes. The middle class does not have loopholes.” Mari Lemelson of Edison, N.J., said, “I have a big problem with the millionaires, at least what I understand to be the millionaires’ tax breaks.” Jim Martel, an electrician from Weymouth, Mass., said his tax bill is already unfair, but he would be willing to pay more if he thought the money would be spent wisely. He’s not optimistic. “If I thought people in office had the right thing in mind and they were doing the right thing with the money instead of blowing it and wasting it and funding these stupid projects that are totally ridiculous, I wouldn’t have a problem with it,” Martel said. “But they don’t, so that’s what bothers me.” In Loving Memory Of ANNE MARIE MORRISON June 23, 1983 – April 14, 2010 Sadly missed and greatly loved by Mom, Dad, Scott & Grace, Joe & Mandi, Deanne & John, Matt and son Logan IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAISY BAUGHMAN WHO PASSED AWAY 4-14-95.

The theater will present the '60s dance-rich hit Hairspray in July and the world premiere of The Singin' Cowboy in August. Based on the 1988 John Waters film Hairspray, the songs include 1960s-style dance music and "downtown" rhythm and blues. In 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, plump teenager Tracy Turnblad's dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a local TV dance program based on the real-life Buddy Deane Show. When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight. She then launches a campaign to integrate the show. Hairspray is a social commentary on the injustices of parts of American society in the 1960s. Later made into a film starring John Travolta, Hairspray won 8 Tony Awards during its original Broadway run, including Best Musical. Performances will be July 9, 10, 15, 16 17. Area residents will be the first to see and hear The Singin' Cowboy when the world premiere opens on Aug. 12. Other performance dates are Aug. 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21. The romantic comedy is an homage to the great characters of movie Westerns, particularly those with a penchant for strumming and humming. It tells the tale of our hero named Singin' who sets out to capture and bring to justice the fiercest outlaws in the land, Tumbleweed Tammy and her bumbling gang. Roles are available in all age ranges and ethnicities for both shows. Those interested in auditioning for Hairspray should come to the May Pavilion at the Marion Palace Theatre on either Saturday, May 21 or Sunday, May 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. Those desiring a lead role should come with a solo prepared; an accompanist will be provided. Those wanting to participate in the chorus only will audition in groups. Children ages 6 and up will also audition in groups. Learning choreography will be part of the audition process as well so come dressed to participate in dance numbers. Those desiring speaking parts will also read from the script. Auditions for The Singin' Cowboy will be 1-4 p.m. June 4 and 5 in the May Pavilion at the Marion Palace Theatre. Those interested in principal roles should have an up tempo song prepared, and bring sheet music in the appropriate key; an accompanist will be provided.

American Idol finalist plans hometown show in Ohio PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — Last season’s “American Idol” runner-up is coming home for a concert near her tiny hometown in northwest Ohio. Crystal Bowersox will perform July 9 at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds near Port Clinton. It was just under a year ago that Bowersox finished second on the Fox singing competition. She made a quick trip home during the final week and sang a few songs at the fairgrounds. She now has an album out and is planning a tour. The News-Messenger in Fremont says tickets for the July show go on sale at May 16 and will cost $25.

Every member of the group has spent years perfecting their respective character; Frank Canino (John Lennon), Eric Michaels (Paul McCartney), Doug Couture (George Harrison) and Tom Gable (Ringo Starr). From intensive study of Beatles music to tribute performances in Las Vegas, the backgrounds of all four combine to create a well-rounded quartet ready to take their audience on a musical journey. The show begins with the early years and includes classic Beatle favorites such as "She Loves You," "Twist and MARION — American English brings an authentic Beatles tribute show to the Palace Theatre in downtown Marion Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m. American English in concert perform songs covering the entire career of The Beatles from 1963-1970. With precise attention to every musical detail, along with costume changes, vintage instruments, and special effects, American English magically creates what many consider to be the complete Beatles tribute. While many tribute bands exist for the Fab Four, none have the awards and experience of American English, which include three-time winners of "Best Tribute Band" voting in Chicago, three-time Shout," "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and many others. Next, the audience will witness incredible versions of selections from Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour performed completely live without any tapes or backing tracks. And in the end, everyone can relive the final years of the boys from Liverpool with moving renditions of songs such as "Hey Jude," "Something" and "Let It Be." Tickets are $22/$18. They may be purchased at the Palace box office, 276 W. Center St., Marion or by phone at 740-383-2101. Box office hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

LANG AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jennifer Lopez isn’t sure “American Idol” viewers will be calling in for finalist Haley Reinhart. Lopez said the bluesy 20year-old college student from Wheeling, Ill., didn’t dial up her best performance with Blondie’s “Call Me” from “American Gigolo” on the Fox talent competition’s evening of film tunes Wednesday. The show’s lone female judge was reluctant to criticize Reinhart because every eliminated finalist has been a woman this season. “I don’t want any of the girls to go home,” lamented People magazine’s most beautiful woman. The show’s other remaining female crooner, 16-year-old high school student Lauren Alaina of Rossville, Ga., fared better with Miley Cyrus’ “The Climb” from “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” Before taking the stage, “Idol” mentor and Interscope chief Jimmy Ivovine told Alania that he thought she was “a much, much stronger singer than Miley Cyrus.” “I love what you bring to a song, and I love more what a song brings to you,” said Steven Tyler. Paul McDonald and Scotty McCreery stayed in their comfort zones. McDonald, the 26year-old performer from Nashville, Tenn., kicked off the show with Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” from “Risky Buisness.” McCreery, the 17-year-old high school student from Garner, N.C., kept it mellow with George Strait’s “I Cross My Heart” from “Pure Country.” Stefano Langone’s take on Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” from “Boomerang” incited Lopez to shout an expletive after the 21-year-old crooner from Kent, Wash., performed. Tyler was also silenced after Jacob Lusk, the 23-year-old spa concierge of Compton, Calif., sang Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” from “The Pursuit of Happyness.” “God bless you and your voice,” boasted Tyler. The judges provided a standing ovation to Casey Abrams, the 20-year-old film camp counselor of Idyllwild, Calif., after his jazzy rendition of Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy” from “The Boy with Green Hair.” Ivovine originally pushed Abrams to perform Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight” from “Risky Business,” but Abrams took a stand with “Nature Boy.” James Durbin, the 22-yearold rocker from Santa Cruz, Calif., also faced off against Ivovine over his song choice of Sammy Hagar’s “Heavy Metal” from the film of the same name. The rebellion also paid off for Durbin, who was accompanied by guitarist Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society. His performance prompted Randy Jackson to repeatedly chant, “Durbin rocks!” One of the eight finalists will be dismissed tonight. FINDLAY — Megan Halsey, a freshman physical therapy major, will perform in the University of Findlay’s symphonic band and wind ensemble spring concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 17 at the Heminger Auditorium of Findlay High School. Halsey, a 2010 graduate of Kenton High School, is the daughter of Amy and Bob Halsey of Kenton. The theme for the program is “The ABCs of 20thCentury American Music.” Featuring the music of Leroy Anderson, Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland, the Wind Ensemble will perform the Overture to “Candide,” “Belle of the Ball” and “Scenes from Billy the Kid.” The Symphonic Band will perform “Buckaroo Holiday,” “Wearing of the Green” and MEGAN HALSEY music from “West Side Story.” The bands will combine to perform music from Leonard Bernstein’s “Mass.” Tickets may be reserved in advance at the UF Box Office by calling 419-4345335 or may be purchased at the door. Lima Area Youth Orchestra to perform LIMA — The Lima Area Youth Orchestra will present its annual Spring Concert Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Lima Senior High School Auditorium.

The bad news is that his new live-action comedy “Arthur” could not jump as high as “Hop.” The Warner Bros. remake of Dudley Moore’s 1981 romance about a rich, drunken man-child finally learning to grow up, “Arthur” was a distant third with a modest debut of $12.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. Opening at No. 2 with $12.4 million was Focus Features’ “Hanna,” the tale of a teenager trained as a killing machine that stars Cate Blanchett, Eric Bana and Saoirse Ronan. Sony’s “Soul Surfer” debuted at No. 4 with $10.6 million. The movie features AnnaSophia Robb in the real-life story of a surfer struggling toward a comeback after losing an arm in a shark attack. The weekend’s other new wide release, Universal’s medieval action comedy “Your Highness,” opened at No. 6 with $9.3 million, weak results given a cast that includes James Franco and Natalie Portman. With a solid second weekend, Brand’s Easter bunny tale “Hop” raised its 10-day total to $68 million. “I’m so thrilled that we’re so far ahead of the pack,” said Nikki Rocco, head of distribution at Universal. The poor results for “Your Highness” dimmed the mood at the studio, which had hoped more young males would turn out for the tale starring Franco, Portman and Danny McBride in a blend of supernatural action and frat-boy raunchiness.

The Wildcats scored three runs in the top of the second to take the lead and added runs in each of the next four innings to earn their second victory of the season. Alex Kissling had four hits and a pair of RBIs to lead the Wildcats at the plate. Also for Kenton, Zach Wolowicz had a double and two RBIs, Brice Fackler had three hits, Caleb Halsey had two hits with a RBI, Brennan Rolander had a hit and an RBI and Tyler Dennis had a pair of hits with a double. Noah Furbush earned the pitching win, allowing two earned runs on three hits and six walks, while striking out five batters in four innings on the hill. Kissling threw the final three innings in relief, allowing an unearned run on two hits while recording three strikeouts. “We were really pleased with our pitching but our bats woke up a bit tonight,” Kenton coach Brent Fackler said. “We also played much better defensively and that’s a key for us,” Kenton, 2-8, host Marion Hardin tonight. MOUNT BLANCHARD — It took a while for Wynford’s bats to string runs together Wednesday. But better late than never for coach Gabe Helbert, as the Royals broke open a 4-4 tie against Riverdale with six runs in the top of the fifth inning after taking advantage of a pair of fielding errors and some lively hitting en route to a 10-8 win. “We got a lot of runs across there in the fifth, but really looking at it, we felt we could’ve had a bigger inning,” Helbert said. “We had a couple baserunning errors that hurt us. But our kids have come out and swung the bat well to this point and hopefully we can continue to do that.” Wynford (6-3, 2-1 North Central Conference) batted around the order in the fifth with five hits and three walks. Todd DeLong ripped a single into the outfield off reliever Caleb Shultis to start the inning and moved to third thanks to a blooper by right fielder Brett Parish while attempting to field the ball. Shultis then walked Aaron Bishop, paving the way for Chase Lantz, who ripped a ball down the third base line into the corner of the outfield to score a DeLong. Bishop was thrown out at third. Adam Hartz walked and scored after Gage Roe’s bomb to deep left-center field was dropped. A pair of singles by Caleb Miller and Teran Stuckman reloaded the bases for the Royals and Shultis walked Scott, scoring Hartz, before Jerad Butler stepped to the plate and stroked a threerun double to make it 10-4. “It helps out a lot having good defense behind you, but in the fifth inning we kind of slipped there,” said Devin Dilley, who started for the Falcons and pitched four innings before being replaced by Shultis. Shultis (0-2) was pulled after two-thirds of an inning of work, and Seth Knoll was able to get the Falcons (2-6, 04 NCC) out of a circus of an inning after walking DeLong and sending Bishop back to Look To The Classifieds!

"We came out more aggressive at the plate today," Ben Logan coach Doug Rutan said. "We were able to jump out to an early lead which allowed us to play our game and had Urbana trying to play catch up all day long." "We lost our catcher and captain Jonathon Mobley for a few games due to an ankle injury and the team rallied together to pick up the slack," the Raider coach added. Urbana falls to 4-7 and 2-3.

There are 261 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was shot and mortally wounded by John Wilkes Booth during a performance of “Our American Cousin” at Ford’s Theater in Washington; the president died nine hours later. On this date: In 1775, the first American society for the abolition of slavery was formed in Philadelphia. In 1828, the first edition of Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of the English Language” was published. In 1910, President William Howard Taft became the first U.S. chief executive to throw the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game as the Washington Senators beat the Philadelphia Athletics 3-0. In 1912, the British liner RMS Titanic collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic and began sinking. In 1949, at the conclusion of the so-called “Wilhelmstrasse Trial,” 19 former Nazi Foreign Office officials were sentenced by an American tribunal in Nuremberg to prison terms ranging from four to 25 years. In 1956, Ampex Corp. demonstrated the first successful videotape recorder at the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters Convention in Chicago. In 1960, the musical “Bye Bye Birdie” opened on Broadway. In 1981, the first test flight of America’s first operational space shuttle, the Columbia, ended successfully with a landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. In 1986, Americans got word of a U.S. air raid on Libya. Ten years ago: The 24 crew members of the U.S. spy plane who’d been held in China for 11 days landed at their home base, where they were greeted by thousands of friends, family members and other well-wishers. Five years ago: President George W. Bush rebuffed recommendations from a growing number of retired generals that he replace Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, saying, “He has my full support.” One year ago: The Eyjafjallajokul volcano in Iceland erupted, sending out an ash plume that led most northern European countries to close their airspace between April 15 and 20, grounding about 10 million travelers worldwide.

Early runs help Wynford get past Falcons By LONNIE McMILLAN Times news bureau MOUNT BLANCHARD — Wynford was patient at the plate early and took advantage of some Riverdale pitching control problems in taking a 9-4 North Central Conference softball victory on Wednesday. The Royals drew five walks and were hit by three pitches in the first inning, scoring six runs off of freshman pitcher Jordyn Wright. “We were really patient with her, and I told the girls to be patient,” Wynford coach Dave Ujveri said. “We were up and ready when the balls were there to cash in when we could. Most of the time, she was struggling, and the worse she got, the more patient we got.” Wright (0-2) walked her first batter, and after getting an out, she hit two in a row. She got KarLee Schiefer to ground out for the second out with only two runs in, but she simply could not get the third out. After walking another batter, Kayli Stuckman had a two-run single. Four straight hitters after that reached on a walk or by being hit by a pitch. “Jordyn, it’s only her second start, so she’s naturally nervous as a freshman,” Riverdale coach Luke Swavel said. “She’s having a hard time finding the strike zone, hitting some batters and walking. They really didn’t hit her. She just dug herself Times photo/Brandon Drake Making a throw Riverdale shortstop Breann Parish prepares to throw the ball to first base during the Falcons game against Wynford on Wednesday. a hole. That’s to be expected Bridget Fox got the from a freshman sometimes, Falcons (0-9, 0-4 NCC) out and she’ll just have to take of the jam, and after giving that as a learning experience up three runs — only one and keep moving forward.” earned — the next two Padres beat Reds 3-2 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Orlando Hudson hit a basesloaded, opposite-field single with two outs in the ninth inning and the San Diego Padres beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 on Wednesday night to avoid a three-game sweep. Hudson hit the first pitch he saw from Nick Masset (0-3) over third baseman Juan Francisco’s head and into left field. With the score tied at 2, pinch-hitter Brad Hawpe started the winning rally with a one-out walk before advancing to third on Nick Hundley’s hit-and-run single to right. Will Venable was intentionally walked to get to Jason Bartlett, who was hitting just .133. Bartlett grounded to innings, she was nearly flawless the last four innings. She gave up a twoout single in the fourth inning and sent Wynford (74, 2-2 NCC) down in order the final three innings. Teneil Krebs had an RBIgroundout and another run scored on a wild pitch in the second inning. Two singles and an error led to a run in the third inning to make it 9-0. Riverdale fought back with a four-run sixth inning, taking advantage of three Wynford errors and control problems by Stuckman, another freshman pitcher. “I’m happy because the last two games we kind of rolled over, and we finally fought back,” Swavel said. “I saw a little bit of fight from this young team, and it’s getting me excited for what’s coming up.” Stuckman (2-1) threw 5 2/3 innings, giving up just three hits but with seven walks. She struck out three, before being relieved by Shannon Miller. Fox had two of the Falcons’ four hits in the game. Tiffany Wright scored a run and had an RBI. Andi Perdue had two hits and scored twice to lead the Royals at the plate. Both teams are off until 4:30 p.m. Friday when they meet again at Wynford. ——— Wynford 621 000 0— 9 6 3 Riverdale 000 004 0— 4 4 3 WP: Stuckman (2-1); LP: J. Wright (0-2). Ram track teams finish 2nd in four-team meet third baseman Juan Francisco, who threw to home for the force. The Padres scored an unearned run without getting a hit in the eighth to tie it at 2. Hudson reached on a bunt that forced Bartlett at third, stole second and took third on catcher Ryan Hanigan’s throw into center for Cincinnati’s second error of the inning. He scored on Jorge Cantu’s chopper to third. The victory came less than 24 hours after the Padres had numerous chances Tuesday night before losing 8-2 in 11 innings. They had runners on second and third with none out in the eighth, then had the bases loaded in both the ninth and 10th.
